00:29I'll see you soon.
01:30I don't care cause I'm not there.
01:33I don't care if I'm here tomorrow.
01:38Again and again I've taken too much.
01:42All the things that cost you too much.
01:46I used to think that the day will never come.
01:50I see the light in the shade of the morning sun.
01:54My morning sun is a drug that brings me there.
01:59To the child I lost with his father.
02:02I used to think that the day will never come.
02:07I don't know how to do this.
02:35I used to think that the day will never come.
03:05I used to think that the day will never come.
03:11I used to think that the day will never come.
03:12I'm a firestarter, a whistled firestarter
03:19You're a firestarter, a whistled firestarter
03:26I'm a firestarter, a whistled firestarter
03:32I'm the self-infected, whistled
03:44How the fuck do you afford a place like this?
03:48Talent
03:53You don't have to be up early
03:56No
03:58My boss, he flies to Africa basically weekly
04:02And that's my life
04:05I don't want to take advantage of you
04:07You can use your tongue wherever you want
04:11Someone
04:13My ex and my pussy looks like pink bubblegum
04:17I don't know
04:19I don't know
04:25How the fuck do you know?
04:35I don't know
04:36I don't know
04:40I don't know
04:43What's the fuck?
04:44Oh, thank you.
04:46Well, if you told me your name, I've forgotten it.
04:51What did we do?
04:53So, I'm, uh, I'm Jim.
04:56Uh, Jim Dyker?
05:00From Vin Digest?
05:02You're the only person who replies to me.
05:05No one at your company returns my calls.
05:10James Dyker?
05:12Mm-hmm.
05:13Oh my god, I replied to that as a professional fucking courtesy.
05:16Yeah, no, no, I know, I know.
05:18But listen, there are multiple anonymous-
05:20Oh my god, what the actual fuck?
05:22What the fuck are you even talking about?
05:24Get out of my fucking house!
05:25All your quotes could be not for retribution.
05:27Or just let me speak to your boss.
05:29You followed me?
05:30Are you fucking crazy?
05:32Okay, the time to get your little notepad out has fucking passed, dickhead!
05:36Okay, get out!
05:37Get the fuck out of here with journalistic ethics, you fucking stalker!
05:41And my boyfriend will be home soon.
05:43And he's big.
05:44And he's fucking black!
05:46Oh wow, what does that mean?
05:47Oh, you know what it means, bitch!
05:49But I wasn't intending to come back here, okay?
05:51But I am human.
05:52I made an air of fucking judgement.
05:53I know, I know, but listen.
05:55I have been communicating with your boss's old assistant.
05:58Maybe, maybe, ask him about that.
06:00Where is she?
06:01I guess NDA to fuck, okay?
06:03Because questions, they don't just disappear because these are nice they exist.
06:06What are you doing?
06:07Fuck!
06:08Get the fuck out of here!
06:09I will fucking fight you!
06:11I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving.
06:13I can just, just get my jacket.
06:14Look, it's just got my keys in it!
06:18Fuck!
06:20Fuck!
06:21Fuck you now!
06:45You guys are acting shifty.
06:48Are you under or overstimulated?
06:50I had a three-bottle lunch on Friday with James Ashford from Ashford Asset Management.
06:55He was so livid he forgot to flirt with a waitress.
06:58Get a trap door behind his eyes open like a man weighing a divorce.
07:01You know, a professional one.
07:02What are you talking about?
07:04Anyway, he said he was going to make official contact, i.e. not boozy lunch contact,
07:09with our investor relations guy about withdrawing capital from your fund.
07:15You'll pay to outperform the market, not track it.
07:19Roland, I fucking concur.
07:21So maybe you can tell me why it is I'm faced with a firing squad every time I try to
07:24put a short on.
07:25I'm here to offer counsel.
07:26I've not seen you offering counsel in anyone else's office.
07:29Is your counsel Otto's diktat?
07:31Otto's retired.
07:32I'm really tired of dancing around the fact that I was promised to fund,
07:35and given what feels like a separately managed account with claustrophobic levels of oversight.
07:40Head of UK discretionary sales is just a verbose way of saying babysitter, let's be honest.
07:44I wanted to know whether you intended to keep running the short basket you had on.
07:47This onlyfans and siren nonsense is spooking your investors.
07:50For surveillance.
07:51I am managing this fund, okay?
07:54And yes, it is still my view that the online safety bill will be a negative catalyst for those adult
07:58content players.
07:59So now our primary trade centers around mid-caps bank sites.
08:03Compelling.
08:05I guess one could argue these porn services are predatory platforms that coerce the vulnerable.
08:13Is this something you want to say to me directly, or...?
08:15No, no, sorry.
08:17I misspoke.
08:19My bad.
08:20Yeah, I just...
08:20I don't think that we should be trading minutes around specific verbiage of government statements
08:25that could pertain to a basket of names.
08:27I mean, it's not like these are criminal enterprises.
08:30Well, siren's prevalence in my search history feels criminal, though.
08:34That's a joke.
08:35Sorry, my bad.
08:36I don't consider myself a prolific masturbator.
08:39Okay, enough, enough.
08:40Gentlemen, I think we're done here.
08:44Unless you'd like to troubleshoot any other methods you got cooking up to tell me how to do my fucking
08:48job.
08:59I used to think we looked the same age.
09:00If I thought I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.
09:04You should try a semen retention streak, firms of the collagen in your face.
09:07No fap.
09:08No cap, you do that shit?
09:10No, it's really like I need to.
09:11Dude, you're glowing.
09:13You chalk that up to infrequent ejaculation.
09:15I drink a lot of water.
09:16You're glowing, too.
09:17For a man who comes as much as I do?
09:18Yes.
09:19No, wait, what the fuck are we even talking about?
09:21It's just a redux of the 90s and the pro-clutching of the Christian right.
09:24I agree.
09:25It's Newt Gingrich with a blue rinse job.
09:27But Siren's age verification methods remain fucking trash.
09:30So they're the lightning rod for all this shit because they committed the crime of being the most popular?
09:34Look, Manny, this is the Labour government's crusade against children being turned into pornography.
09:38And I maintain our mission statement should always be expansion.
09:44Hey, you pushed us into fucking Africa.
09:47What's the next territory we can slap a tag on and call the Global South?
09:51Look, I know you think the nuts and bolts of our biz is tawdry.
09:54Tawdry, dude, it's about censure regulation and the potential erosion of our profit model
09:58while we thumb our own asses with no eye on the future.
10:02I need coffee.
10:03I can't shit that much.
10:04I'm not calling the CEO of a company that pays us a shitload of cash just to spook him over
10:09some government virtue signaling.
10:11It's the Labour Party's first hundred days of government.
10:14They want flashy, ideological headlines like this bill that end up going nowhere.
10:18Why do we work with Siren and their evergreen users?
10:21Because human perversion is a hydro.
10:24What more needs saying?
10:25So once again, you railroad me into getting what you want.
10:27If that's how you choose to see it, sure.
10:30I mean, do me a favor and light the candle that I got you.
10:32I bought it on my personal and there's an ambient fog of something in here that's been a few comments.
10:37And that's antithetical to executive function?
10:39Uh, yes.
10:40Yes, it is.
10:41Will you indulge me?
10:42Come by my office tomorrow and let me lay this out for you?
10:44Do we have any bobas at a thing that we do?
10:46Um, I don't know what that is, but I can check.
10:48Yeah, will this indulgence make you shut the fuck up about it?
10:51It may well do.
10:52Then I'll be there.
10:53You do look great, by the way, for a man.
10:55Twice your age.
10:57Oh.
11:04Let's do doubles then, yeah?
11:05Doubles, definitely.
11:06Boss!
11:07My round?
11:09Yeah, one for everyone.
11:10I've just been promoted.
11:11You're actually at a wake.
11:13What?
11:13You're at a wake.
11:14Oh, yeah?
11:15Who died?
11:16No one you'd know, I don't think.
11:18You can buy me a drink still, if you want.
11:20What do you want?
11:21Gin and tonic, please.
11:23Two gin and tonics.
11:24Yeah, coming up, boss.
11:25With a touch, like, job, like me.
11:28You're more about 15 years to bring about real change, and you've bankrupted the country.
11:32Look, the online safety bill, it really isn't radical.
11:35You would say that, as someone who pens Bevan's speeches and sock-peddles her Orwellian nightmare.
11:39Yeah, I mean, people's online activity is effectively being NSA'd, no?
11:43They'll be logging our bowel movements soon, like the Chinese.
11:46I mean, listen, you must know what Bevan's going to say tomorrow, right?
11:48Where do you work again? I could have sworn that I recognised you.
11:52I mean, there's thousands of me across London.
11:54Fuck off!
11:55Right, I'm going to get another round.
11:57Yeah, put up my tamps. It's been a good year.
12:00Goby little Aridin, but cheeky.
12:03She's got this doppelganger on Siren.
12:05I'm 90% sure it's not her.
12:08You city boys must be all over this disgusting little website.
12:13Look at that.
12:15This woman redefines the concept of feed naturally.
12:20She has that look, you know, Nazi fertility propaganda.
12:25Yeah, uh, show me again, mate.
12:27Okay, enough to.
12:34Yeah, nah, don't worry.
12:35I could have, uh, could have sworn she was at school with my younger sister.
12:38But, uh, yeah, milk her son.
12:41Jamie!
12:41Hey, I'm sorry for your loss.
12:44Bathos had a brain the size of a planet.
12:46He was an exceptional mentor.
12:48A real, a real pitesman.
12:50Stickman too, but a pitesman, that's where he made his name.
12:53If it wasn't a drink to kill him, it would have been a cock-rock.
12:56Drank like a red wall empty on in Spain.
12:58A true proponent of plus 44.
13:0144 pites before 4pm.
13:06What are you looking for?
13:07Is this my fault?
13:08No.
13:09Where was it last?
13:09I don't know.
13:10I think it was in here.
13:11What was it?
13:12I'm not going to find her.
13:21Cheers.
13:24Fuck me.
13:25No.
13:26It tastes like prisoners that blinds you.
13:30No, thank you.
13:31That is all you, lover.
13:32Fuck.
13:33Mate, you haven't seen my phone, have you?
13:35I haven't.
13:36Oh.
13:39So, is this going to be a thing now?
13:43Seems a bit desperate for you.
13:45A lot of known knowns here, right?
13:48There's no way that the market is fully priced
13:50Bevan naming sirens specifically in Parliament tomorrow.
13:53Yeah, I mean,
13:55the names have all sold off a little in anticipation.
13:58It's definitely not fully priced
14:00and that siren's going to catch the most flack.
14:02It has the most downside.
14:05Sirens were to be short in size.
14:20I can't get past even the most cursory background checks.
14:24Without an economic function,
14:26society buries you before you're dead.
14:30I, uh,
14:30I took care of that
14:32chunk of change that you owed at the Priory for your stay.
14:35You said you put me as kin
14:36on your record.
14:37I didn't know.
14:40I was pretty zonked on meds.
14:45I wasn't actually trying to do anything.
14:49Not really.
14:55I'll be in touch if this works.
15:03AI-Driven fraud detection
15:08Leading in financial well-being,
15:11trust,
15:12privacy,
15:13security.
15:15A one-stop shop for savings,
15:18investments,
15:19exchange.
15:21Why should wealth management
15:22be only for the one percent?
15:25Tender,
15:26a private banker
15:27in your pocket.
15:33A lot of Asians in that.
15:37It's not a negative,
15:38just an observation.
15:39You're kind of like
15:40heavy Asian.
15:41That wasn't intentional.
15:42It's not not compelling,
15:43but this can't be what you wanted to show me.
15:45I mean,
15:45this is a completely different business.
15:47I canvassed our investors casually.
15:48They like the potential direction of travel.
15:50Since when did this become a democracy?
15:51Uh,
15:52since we went public,
15:53we should be
15:54and can be
15:54a full-service banking app,
15:56a bank in your pocket.
15:57A neobank.
15:58Is that why you blew all this money
15:59moving us to Canary Wharf?
16:00The tab was probably smaller
16:02rebuilding Notre Dame.
16:03The, um,
16:05the euphemistic bull
16:06that, uh,
16:06spares everyone's blushes
16:08in our earnings reports.
16:08What's the phraseology?
16:10Alternative merchants,
16:1123% of income.
16:13Alternative merchants.
16:14What does that mean?
16:15Gambling and pornography.
16:17Sucking!
16:18Fucking!
16:19Rolling the dice!
16:20PayPal,
16:21Google Pay
16:22won't touch it,
16:22so it's our 23%.
16:25Siren,
16:26which now dwarfs OnlyFans
16:28in terms of active users
16:29and profits,
16:30makes up, what,
16:314% of our revenue?
16:33Jerking off
16:34is recession-proof.
16:35There are markets
16:36that aren't accessible
16:37to the project
16:37due to associations
16:38with Siren
16:39and other risque vendors.
16:41If Tender wants
16:41a banking license...
16:42We can't expect people
16:43to want to deposit
16:44their savings
16:45or take a mortgage with us
16:46if we're associated
16:47with squirting videos
16:48and, uh,
16:49ebony gilf
16:50gets forespread
16:51by Black Bull.
16:52Fuck yeah.
16:53That's my go-to right there
16:54when I'm hungover.
16:55Hey, does it make me
16:56racist or anti-racist
16:58that I can only get hard
16:59for black-on-black action?
17:01Also, we are not a bank.
17:04Maybe Tender shouldn't
17:04be satisfied
17:05simply being
17:05the PayPal of Bukkake.
17:07PayPal of Bukkake is good.
17:08Write that down.
17:09Don't write that down.
17:10We can weather
17:10the short-term pain.
17:11Sorry, 4% of revenue
17:12is short-term pain?
17:13Yes, compared to
17:14the long-term gain
17:15of what we could be
17:16once we rehabilitate
17:17Tender's image.
17:18Yes, this is a pivot.
17:19I'm not underselling
17:19that it is,
17:20but I think you need
17:20to at least engage
17:21with what we could be.
17:25Siren doesn't belong
17:26at Tender 2.0.
17:27Because there is
17:28no fucking Tender 2.0.
17:30Oh my god,
17:30we IPO'd less than
17:31two years ago
17:31and not very successfully.
17:33All right,
17:33and what's happened since?
17:34Rampant growth,
17:35a surge in your network.
17:37Yes, fueled
17:37by my acquisition strategy.
17:39Okay, all right,
17:40so we're highly
17:40cash-generative,
17:41growing in users,
17:43increasingly loved
17:43by sell-side analysts,
17:44and you're suggesting
17:45a re-break
17:46of our business model?
17:47Wait, make the picture
17:49make sense.
17:49Not a re-break,
17:50a re-imagining
17:51of what we might
17:52be capable of.
17:52No, fuck that.
17:53Not everything needs
17:54disrupting, okay?
17:55Uh, uh, fucking
17:56artisanal olive oil
17:57does not need
17:58to be delivered
17:58through your letterbox.
17:59This is what
17:59we always talked about.
18:02Late capitalism
18:03is a carcinogen
18:04that breathes a product
18:05for everything
18:06that you think you need
18:07except the thing
18:08you really want.
18:09I have the product
18:10people really want!
18:12or we can sputter
18:14along, bob and weave,
18:16and in a few years
18:16you're gonna come to me
18:17and be like,
18:18hey, Whit,
18:19why have a profits
18:20eroded so much
18:21and what the fuck
18:21do you want me
18:22to say to you then?
18:29Sometimes.
18:31The next thing
18:32is just to continue
18:34being very good
18:35at the thing
18:36we're fucking doing,
18:37okay?
18:37Man, I hate,
18:38I hate fighting.
18:41You need to be
18:42really careful
18:42about using phrases
18:43like black-on-black action
18:45in this office.
18:50Never deny
18:51a man has passions.
18:59Hayley!
19:00Chair.
19:03Hi.
19:05How'd it go?
19:06Not good.
19:09I'm not good.
19:10for the infrastructure.
19:12Could you benefit
19:13me all the bar
19:13you can on Siren?
19:15Now?
19:15No,
19:16at the next
19:16full fucking moon.
19:17Yes now.
19:18It's fucking Alharp,
19:18it's not very liquid.
19:19All the sides you can find.
19:20Madam Speaker,
19:21I welcome
19:22the online safety bill
19:23returning to the Commons
19:24having gone through
19:25extensive scrutiny
19:26in the Lords.
19:27This bill
19:28is a vital piece
19:30of legislation
19:31that will protect
19:32our children
19:33from the darkest
19:34recesses
19:35of the internet.
19:35Okay, alright.
19:36The changes
19:37this government
19:37and my department
19:38have outlined
19:39will ensure
19:40that the bill
19:40contains the strongest
19:42possible protections
19:43for children
19:44and the internet
19:45user's rights
19:46of both free expression
19:48and privacy
19:48are protected.
19:50Okay, we're a short
19:52chunky for a midcap.
19:54100 bars,
19:55about 3.2% afloat.
19:57The member for South
19:58done it.
20:00Can I ask the minister
20:02when she believes
20:03Britain became a gulag?
20:05Oh my God.
20:07How far does she think
20:09we are away from
20:10my constituents
20:11being handed
20:12jail sentences
20:13longer than pedophiles
20:14for posting
20:16the truth
20:16on X?
20:20This bill
20:21is not about
20:22silencing speech.
20:24It's about
20:24accountability,
20:25holding platforms
20:26responsible,
20:28pornography companies
20:29masquerading
20:29as content aggregators,
20:31websites like
20:32Siren.
20:33And the vendors
20:34and the payment
20:35processes that
20:36facilitate those
20:37transactions
20:37and turn a blind
20:38eye to exploitation.
20:40Ah, Siren name
20:41specifically
20:43now is the time
20:44for the standard
20:45down here
20:47down 8%.
20:48Oh, hey.
21:02Okay, well
21:03we made a tiny
21:04little profit here.
21:05You want me to lock
21:05it in?
21:06He's got her
21:06all the way
21:07fucked up.
21:08We will pursue
21:09the most
21:09aggressive pleasures
21:10I want to take
21:11profit, I hope.
21:12Yeah, lock it in.
21:12Ah-ah.
21:13Sorry, I thought
21:14we were investors
21:15not seat of our
21:16pants traders.
21:17Run the position.
21:19We have a short
21:20and it's working.
21:21End of story.
21:29I heard you got
21:30to know Jennifer Bevan.
21:31What does your
21:32husband think
21:32about that
21:33budding friendship?
21:34We need to talk
21:34about our Jonah
21:35problem.
21:36I was calling
21:37to see if
21:37you sit me
21:38next to her.
21:40If you sit me
21:40next to Stephen Fry
21:41again, I'm not
21:42responsible for
21:42what happens.
21:43Well, she is
21:44being talented
21:44for the big job
21:45and the next
21:46reshuffle.
21:47I'll be elevated
21:48Durant to
21:48business secretary
21:49to help placate
21:50the remaining
21:50hard left
21:51of the party.
21:53Yeah.
21:54Jenny's going
21:55to be around
21:55for a while.
21:56The revolving
21:57door of Tory
21:57ministers
21:58made lobbying
21:58fucking hard.
21:59I could never
21:59get a foothold.
22:01Well, listen,
22:01I'll perch you
22:02next to her.
22:03You can stick
22:04your silver tongue
22:05in her ear,
22:05see how she squeals.
22:06But, um,
22:08I want to keep
22:08the conversation
22:09about Henry's
22:09future alive.
22:11Sound fair?
22:12Sounds fabulous.
22:18The Jonah problem
22:19is not
22:20our
22:21problem.
22:23The company
22:23is me and Jonah.
22:25Our friendship
22:25predates all this
22:26fucking noise.
22:27Apologies.
22:28I overstepped.
22:29But if he's your
22:30friend, you
22:31need to protect
22:32him from himself.
22:36See, this is
22:37a serious
22:37company.
22:38He's not a
22:39serious person.
22:46Websites like
22:46Siren.
22:47And the vendors
22:49and the painting
22:49processes that
22:50facilitate those
22:51transactions
22:51attain a blind eye
22:53to exploitation.
23:13gentlemen,
23:14thanks for coming
23:15in on such
23:15short notice.
23:16So,
23:17as mutually
23:18beneficial as the
23:18partnership has been,
23:20we can no longer
23:21be your payment
23:21processor.
23:25What?
23:26We can't be linked
23:27to pornography
23:27of any, uh,
23:29denomination.
23:30We're not a
23:31porn company.
23:31We're an online
23:32subscription aggregator.
23:34That's a new
23:34semantic trick.
23:35What is pornography
23:36anyway?
23:37I mean,
23:38do feet count
23:39by way of example?
23:40A lot of our
23:41performers are non-nude.
23:42It's all consensual.
23:43This online bill
23:44and the recent stink
23:45around age verification
23:46in the press
23:47contends that you
23:48make no concrete
23:49guarantee of that.
23:50If a woman
23:50wants to record
23:51her flatulence
23:52into a microphone
23:53and monetize it,
23:54it's her agency.
23:56Siren is feminist.
23:58Remind me
23:59what Siren
23:59was called
24:00before, uh,
24:01Balderton
24:01bankrolled
24:01your Series B
24:02and you hired
24:03that on-the-nose
24:03hippital agency
24:04for the rebrand.
24:06You had a
24:07military element,
24:08as I recall.
24:09You partnered
24:09with Colonel
24:11Cream Pie.
24:11With who?
24:12With Colonel
24:12Cream Pie.
24:13You partnered
24:14with Colonel
24:14Cream Pie
24:15and I want
24:15Jonah in this
24:16meeting.
24:16I want the
24:17chief executive
24:18here right now.
24:19We're still
24:19processing your
24:20payments in the
24:21next 24 hours.
24:22We'll then
24:22start cutting
24:23ties with
24:24other vendors
24:25in the space.
24:26I'm sorry,
24:27but politely,
24:28we don't know
24:29you.
24:31So why are you
24:32in this meeting?
24:35That's Ferdinand.
24:36He's a CFO
24:37of IBM
24:38Barrow Bank
24:39and a non-exec
24:40director on our
24:40board.
24:41Okay.
24:42So why is he
24:42speaking to us
24:43like an executive
24:44director?
24:45We have a 6%
24:46stake contender
24:47and Whitney's
24:48vision for the
24:48company is
24:49wanting to be
24:49back.
24:50We won't be
24:50blackmailed like
24:51this.
24:51Good.
24:52I'm not
24:52blackmailing you.
24:53This is just
24:53what's going to
24:54happen.
24:55We have a
24:56contract.
24:57You do.
24:58So, uh,
25:01let the lawyers
25:01fight for years
25:02about whether
25:03said contracts
25:04is worth the
25:04papers printed
25:05on.
25:06Tender's POV.
25:09Contract's
25:10terminated.
25:12Fly safe,
25:13boys.
25:16What the
25:17fuck?
25:31Hey!
25:33Thought you
25:33should know
25:34I fired a
25:34siren.
25:36Something is
25:36happening in your
25:37company.
25:38Dude, are you
25:39joking?
25:39I'm the fucking
25:40CEO of publicly
25:42traded companies
25:43to fucking
25:43act like it.
25:49Do you want me
25:50to avoid the
25:51ass?
25:52Don't say
25:53ass like that.
25:54So, Leclerc,
25:54do you want me to
25:55avoid your ass
25:56siren?
25:56Yes, yes, I do.
25:58What if you wanted
25:59me to fuck you
25:59in the ass, huh?
26:01Chill.
26:02What the hell?
26:03I'm not about to be
26:04penetrated for some
26:05cheap feminist
26:05street.
26:09Are you good?
26:10Yeah.
26:13I just, I think
26:15I put my foot in
26:15my mouth with
26:16sweet pea yesterday.
26:19I feel like most
26:20women in this
26:21business walk into
26:22rooms and have men
26:23address them with
26:24their eyes.
26:24That's false
26:24equivalence.
26:26Thousands of
26:26guys in the city
26:27have literally
26:28seen her box.
26:28Yes, and whoever
26:29forwarded that leak
26:30is fucking complicit.
26:31It was meant to
26:32be anonymous.
26:32She never wanted
26:33to put her face
26:34to it.
26:34No, you're right.
26:34You're right.
26:35I know I'm
26:36right.
26:36Sucks.
26:38This won't define
26:39her anyway,
26:40don't worry.
26:42Have you seen it?
26:46No.
26:48No.
26:51And she's not
26:52my type.
26:53You've never
26:54fantasized about
26:55fucking her.
26:56A pristine white
26:58girl whose pussy
26:59you could just
27:00fucking ruin.
27:01Sounds like a
27:02party.
27:04Excuse me.
27:13Fucking cunt.
27:18The Lily Lara
27:19family office has
27:20just put in a
27:20redemption request
27:21to withdraw their
27:22capital.
27:23Who's that?
27:24I've never heard
27:25of them.
27:26Fucking cuck
27:27sucking bitch.
27:34Take this
27:34down.
27:35I'm gaining
27:35the fund.
27:37Why on God's
27:38green earth
27:38would you do
27:39that?
27:39Because I'm
27:40sick and fucking
27:41tired of people
27:42taking decisions
27:42out of my
27:43hands.
27:44Do it.
27:46That motherfucker's
27:47always making
27:47shit fucking
27:48personal.
27:51I must
27:52acknowledge recent
27:53performance has
27:53not met the
27:54high standards
27:55that we set
27:55for ourselves.
27:56My conviction
27:57in Siren,
27:58a position which
27:58is now working,
27:59has led me to
28:00the difficult
28:00decision to
28:01implement an
28:02emergency gate
28:03which will
28:03temporarily
28:04prohibit outflows
28:05from the fund.
28:06This gate is to
28:07protect you,
28:08the investor.
28:08We don't want to
28:09dilute potential
28:09returns for
28:10remaining investors.
28:11Lie number one,
28:12who'd invest in
28:12your project now?
28:13As our team has
28:14discovered a set
28:15of short positions
28:16we think will be
28:16extremely lucrative
28:17in the short to
28:18midterm.
28:18Lie number two,
28:19well the funds yet
28:20to have an idea
28:20that truly broke
28:21out and we've
28:21owned the
28:22conversation around.
28:23Yes, because
28:23Otto is fucking
28:24backseat driving.
28:25We should in no
28:26uncertain terms make
28:27it clear what this
28:28fund is going to be
28:29moving forward.
28:29Can you shut the
28:31fuck up please and
28:31just take the
28:32goddamn email?
28:33Jesus Christ.
28:36Issues with
28:36governance and
28:37management has meant
28:38I have not been
28:39able to fulfill the
28:40short only mandate
28:41you believed you
28:41were investing in a
28:42little over a year
28:43ago.
28:44That changes from
28:45tomorrow.
28:47Yours, Harper
28:47Stern, short
28:49opportunities fund,
28:50Mawson Asset
28:51Management.
28:52Harper, look, I get
28:53you're the boss.
28:54This is not a good
28:55idea.
28:55Send it.
28:58Fine.
29:01What's the
29:01distribution?
29:04Client-wide.
29:14Excuse me.
29:15Do I look like I'm
29:16made out of flame
29:17retarded material?
29:17I have never heard
29:18that collection of
29:19words come out of
29:19anyone's...
29:20Why am I always
29:20going into business
29:21with fucking
29:22arsonists?
29:24James, I am
29:26protecting us from
29:27capricious outflow
29:28while a key idea of
29:29the quarter is
29:30working.
29:30I thought I was
29:31investing in someone
29:32finding long-term
29:33non-consensus shorts
29:34with potentially
29:35massive payouts.
29:36Siren's not even on
29:37a proper index.
29:38It's tiny!
29:39The short only
29:40mandate changed
29:41without my
29:42consent.
29:48This doesn't have
29:48anything to do
29:49with your chairman
29:50Emeritus' political
29:51ambitions, does it?
29:54What the fuck
29:54are you talking
29:55about?
29:57Might be worth
29:58asking Lord
29:59Mostyn what a
30:00noisy short only
30:01fund was doing
30:02to his chances
30:03of a peerage
30:03when the Tories
30:04were defenestrated.
30:06The House of
30:07Lords' Appointment
30:07Commission has
30:08a vetting process
30:09to ensure nobody
30:09brings it into
30:10disrepute.
30:16I have instructed
30:17my funds council
30:18to draft a
30:19redemption request
30:20and a note for
30:21your investor
30:22letters if you
30:23haven't lucky
30:24enough to write
30:24another one again.
30:26There's no need
30:27to be so
30:27sesquipedalian.
30:31Sesquipedalian.
30:34Sesquipedalian.
30:38Sesquipedalian.
30:42Sesquipedalian.
30:44Sesquipedalian.
30:49Sesquipedalian.
31:09Sesquipedalian.
31:11Thank you guys.
31:15What's the opposite
31:16of a runner's high?
31:17That isn't funny.
31:19The only solution
31:19to mortality
31:20is a smile, Rowan.
31:21It's gonna be fine,
31:21guys.
31:22The EMT said
31:23it was a transient
31:24ischemic attack.
31:25As strokes go,
31:25it was a baby.
31:26What the fuck
31:27were you thinking
31:28trying to gate the fund?
31:29If you wanted
31:30pyrotechnics,
31:30let me tell you
31:31something.
31:31It has fucking well worked.
31:33I think it might be worth a brief pause to analyze why we're causing bleeds on our clients' brains.
31:39We are supposed to have an investigative strategy, slow and steady, months, years even, to build a case.
31:46People like Ashford want to sit in their pile and know that their money is working for them.
31:51If you lack impulse control, why are you managing other people's money?
31:55People like Ashford invested in me.
31:58I am not the one who made this fun schizophrenic.
32:01Can you give me six feet, please?
32:05Otto is on the line.
32:15Fuck!
32:31I have been fielding calls all morning about your churlish dating email whilst concurrently swearing my allegiance to His Majesty
32:38the King.
32:38You are the last person that I wanted to see today.
32:41I never signed on to be a separately managed account.
32:44You are not a separately managed account.
32:46In all but name, I am.
32:47Short-selling companies that act in the public interest is the work of vultures, and we are not vultures in
32:52here.
32:53Are you telling me that Siren acts in the public interest?
32:56Wanking is utilitarian.
32:57I am talking about your other prospective shorts, public utilities.
33:02Those board members are friends.
33:05They are nephews, they are godchildren.
33:07Okay, so then what are we doing here, honestly?
33:11You are in an enviable position for a woman of your age.
33:16Now, I am going to cauterize the bleed of your ridiculous and unilateral email, and we will assess your performance
33:24quarter on quarter, like any other manager.
33:27Unfortunately, Harper, this is a brave new world, based on merit.
33:31You hired me on merit.
33:34I hired you as a face.
33:37And the cost-benefit analysis of the progressive sheen that you brought to the wider umbrella of Mostyn Asset Management,
33:44and it no longer stacks up.
33:47You wanted to hire a puppet in blackface, so you could continue being a crook.
33:54And in whose eyes am I provably a crook?
33:58A crook anointed by the king?
34:01And that woke shit no longer moves the needle in this new world.
34:08I accidentally called a subordinate a retard yesterday.
34:14Nobody flinched.
34:15And you know what, Harper?
34:19Tomorrow, I might do it again.
34:35My granddaughter gets a 200k allowance and whines about being poor in New York.
34:41That's not an allowance.
34:43It's an endowment.
34:45They increased in his consigliere when we were young enough for deregulation and old enough for compound interest.
34:50Yeah, three things increase with compound interest.
34:53Good deeds, bad deeds, and cash.
34:56You not keep up on the market?
34:57Nah.
34:58How many spare balls do you reckon in detail, Gary?
35:02Is 47 ever allowed anyone to play through?
35:05Not in this lifetime.
35:07Okay, I got us a four-top at the Palm for tonight.
35:10No wives or girlfriends or twinks, Peaky.
35:13Again.
35:14If you want to try somewhere else, it's always the fucking Palm.
35:20Fuck this, I'm not waiting for him to finish another hole when I shot 82 already.
35:24What the fuck I'm playing here?
35:26Tell it to your priest.
35:27I heard he loves glamor tiger.
35:29I feel like a civil rights here.
35:42Well, hello.
35:44Bizarre way to tell me you miss me.
35:46Excuse me?
35:48Your family office withdrew funds.
35:51Lily Lara are pulling out.
35:53I'm retired, Harper.
35:55Dylan's the one that's across how we're invested.
35:58He didn't like your last few quarters.
36:00He said you're throwing sand in the air, and you're surprised it doesn't land as a castle.
36:05He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
36:09Author.
36:10First name's six letters.
36:12Last name's seven.
36:13No idea.
36:14You want to know why people think Bridgewater is the best fund in the world?
36:18It's not underlying returns.
36:20It's because Dalio crows louder than the rest when they're owning one good position,
36:25and shuts the fuck up when they're on a bad run.
36:28Dylan showed me your gating email.
36:31It read a little aggressive.
36:34Oh, angry black woman.
36:37Is it really as reductive as that?
36:39You are an angry black woman.
36:41I was stopping outflows while landing on an idea that works.
36:45A public gating of your fund is the coroner's signature.
36:49A gating at 30 years old.
36:51Oh, boy.
36:52Cutting investors off from their money?
36:54Come on.
36:55Otto killed my vision.
36:59You know what, Harp?
37:01I think you find it useful to always have a prepackaged person to blame when you failed.
37:10But if you're hell-bent on that strategy, find a structural short you actually believe is violently overvalued,
37:18and should re-rate, own the story.
37:21Your name on the trade, because it's your name on the door, not some other schmuck.
37:27And what if it was our names on the door?
37:30You look thirsty, baby.
37:34Well, come over when you're done.
37:37Uh, yeah.
37:38Yeah, I'll be right there.
37:42That sounds like a good arrangement.
37:44Uh, yeah.
37:46Wait, what arrangement?
37:48She likes me.
37:50Yeah.
37:51And I bet old girl has a fat old ass.
37:54Correction, actually, I can't imagine that she's very old at all.
37:58She sounds black.
38:00I'm not a fetishist.
38:02Oh, I didn't, I did not say anything.
38:06Maybe we could just talk about what it could look like.
38:10Maybe.
38:14You've had a long day, I'm sure.
38:17Don't say things you want to recant come morning.
38:24Retirement must be heaven on earth.
38:29Don't be a stranger.
38:31Blue, blue, my world is blue.
38:35Blue is my world since I'm without you.
38:40Gray, gray, my life.
38:43Where the fuck do you get off doing something so self-destructive?
38:45You're acting like a legacy CEO.
38:47Your job is governance and growth.
38:49Dude, if you want out, if you want to resign or someone's courting you, you can say.
38:54Nobody's after me.
38:55I'm a happy hero.
38:55I won't stop advocating for maturing the business.
38:59Do you think this all started importing dupe bape hoodies from Puyang?
39:04Michelangelo made David.
39:05You birthed the platform for rerouting porn payments.
39:08We birthed it.
39:10Come on, do you still find me attractive?
39:12Objectively.
39:13I put this one chick away recently.
39:14Tight fucking body.
39:15Real pommel horse.
39:16When I got full nude, I could see her doing the mental calculus.
39:20Whether fucking me was worth the dinner at some overpriced Gordon Ramsay shit.
39:23Oh, can I do another vodka this time?
39:25Bone dry.
39:25Coldest space.
39:26Thanks.
39:29But I'm sick of your solo project shitting on the flow of our band, man.
39:33Globetrotting Whitney disappearing to Africa every fucking two minutes to overpay for some piece of shit native biz.
39:38You signed off on it.
39:39Africans are as horny as anyone in the West.
39:41Potentially hornier.
39:42I thought this was a porn play.
39:43The Ghanaian economy is basically on HGH.
39:45We're buying a footprint, local expertise, and we're buying users.
39:48Grow or die.
39:49The guy, the kid I met at Stanford knew that in his bones.
39:52What was the thing you said to me when I pitched up a college shaking like a fucking chimney sweeps
39:56apprentice?
39:57Where do you pick up these little phrases from?
39:59I read.
40:00What did you say?
40:00No idea.
40:01No, I'll never forget it.
40:02You said, in America, your story begins when you start telling me.
40:09Look, we've obviously hit an impasse in our relationship, right?
40:12Poor communication.
40:13So bring me in.
40:14Put me on the ground where we're expanding.
40:17I just need your blessing to pursue the vision for 10 to 2.0.
40:21That's it.
40:21Dude, you want me engaged.
40:23You can't complain when I engage.
40:24I can countenance your acquisition strategy, but only if you introduce me to Tony Day if
40:28he's our financials guy down there.
40:30I couldn't pick him out of a lineup, but he's your fucking lieutenant down there for fuck's
40:33sake.
40:33And I want to get rid of the kraut.
40:35You can't get rid of the kraut.
40:36I know, I know, but I like to dream.
40:38And he's Austrian.
40:39What if we buy the kraut out?
40:42Market cap is bigger than IBM Bowers now.
40:46It was, um, it was vital that we clear the air so that we don't take our personal bullshit
40:50out on our shareholders.
40:53But you know we can never be a bank.
40:56That's not our story.
41:01Ernestine.
41:05I, uh, I need to head.
41:08I'll keep the tab open.
41:09This dysmorphic TikToker from Stockholm who's going to slide into that seat.
41:13She could bring a friend.
41:14Might be fun to hang a deux, uh, four, quattro.
41:17Thanks, but I can't miss this.
41:23I, uh, I really don't think you should come in hungover tomorrow.
41:28Wait, I have nothing to go home to.
41:33You do know that I love you, right?
41:37I can't believe that I do.
41:39And worse still, love you too.
41:41I can't believe that I love you too.
42:11I'll be back for that drink.
42:15Have you ever felt alone in a group?
42:19I'm Whitney.
42:21Halberstern.
42:22Harperstern.
42:23Hmm.
42:24I, I know who you are.
42:25I've seen your face on the org chart when researching companies you were in business with.
42:29Siren.
42:30Oh, fuck.
42:32My face pinned to a court board like a common criminal.
42:36Not quite, but...
42:37Why am I lucky enough to share a room with you now?
42:42You know who I am?
42:44Of course I know who you are.
42:47Um...
42:49I, I know the woman who's putting on the event.
42:52Same.
42:53She's a, uh, dear friend.
42:56Hey, Edmund.
42:58How are you?
42:59Hello.
43:00Hello.
43:01So glad to bring you two together.
43:04Hi.
43:05Nice to see you.
43:07You're beautiful.
43:08Thanks so much.
43:11Whitney, this is Jennifer Bevan, the new minister for industry.
43:15I'm struggling to imagine how the two of you got friendly.
43:18Well, Henry and Jennifer really battled it out in the election.
43:20So I thought the right thing to do would be to invite her over for a friendly tea.
43:25We like a gab, don't we?
43:27I thought they'd have been shot and stuffed.
43:29Hmm.
43:29I'm sure Lord Norton would think you'd look great on the wall.
43:32Hmm.
43:33Um, this is Whitney Horvastrom from Tender.
43:36It's a pleasure.
43:38Yasmin has a habit of making the right connections at the right times.
43:41And Henry might be working with Whitney soon.
43:44Well, I'd love to meet him.
43:46Then you should come and visit.
43:48Yeah, once he's shaken off this little cold.
43:51It's his birthday.
43:52And the house will be in full festive swing soon.
43:55I imagine that a meeting with Lord Norton's pretty high on the agenda for you and the new business secretary,
44:01now that you've been given this role in government.
44:03Well, Lisa isn't one to count out on legacy media.
44:07She's not a ring kisser.
44:10I watched your speech.
44:11Which, I think it's laudable.
44:14It's prompting a re-evaluation of our whole direction as a company.
44:18We have boundless ambition for what Tender could evolve into.
44:21Actually, as of this morning, we're no longer affiliated with Siren or any porn company.
44:28You know, we'd love a champion in government.
44:31And crucially, in the press.
44:38Yeah, daily.
44:42Hey.
44:46You're going to take your eyes off me.
44:48Pretty sure you were looking at me.
44:56You want to come home with me?
44:59Didn't we decide that a long time ago?
45:04Hayley.
45:04Hayley.
45:05You booked us a car?
45:06Yeah, the car's pulled up.
45:08Thanks for sticking around.
45:17I, uh, I need to go to a crawl again.
45:18Tell Tony you'll need a few hours.
45:20No need to die or ice.
45:21Okay.
45:21Uh, oh, also the, the girl that I replaced is looking for a reference.
45:28Is she?
45:30I'm glad to hear she's back up and running.
45:32What happened to her?
45:36Uh, I probably shouldn't say.
45:38She, she had Crohn's.
45:42We'll pay for it to go private, long recovery time.
45:47Good?
45:48Yeah.
45:51Get home safe.
46:08Did you, uh, enjoy how I fucked you?
46:13You want to return a favor?
46:15Do something for me?
46:18I guess.
46:20Depends what it is.
46:22Surprise.
46:25Go on my walk-in.
46:29Okay.
46:34A little bit nervous.
46:36Hey, don't be.
46:38Bottom right, black box.
46:47Open it.
47:05I guess it still purports to be a free country.
47:20I guess it still purports to be a free country.
47:46Trevor's turn.
47:48Okay.
47:50Hi. My name's Jim Dyker. I work at Findigest.
47:54How did you get this number?
47:56The source in the city leads you to get an email to me.
47:59I look at financial fraud.
48:01Look, I'm working on a story on Siren's now former payment processor tender.
48:07Your email said you were sure Siren.
48:11You've been looking at the wrong company.
48:14I'm going to have to call you back.
48:17All right, look.
48:18I think these people are capable of almost anything to stop someone looking too closely, all right?
48:26Papa?
48:28All good?
48:31Never better.
48:48Business or pleasure?
48:54Didn't do too well chasing pleasure.
49:03How are your girls?
49:10Yeah, well, you moved thousands of miles away, so...
49:14Boarding school, huh?
49:15Maybe that's a justification.
49:19I abdicate the responsibility to an institution.
49:24Could be the story of our lives.
49:27Give everything to something that kills you.
49:37I'm glad you came.
49:43So, what do we call this?
49:46Do we call it a...
49:49partnership?
49:53What's stopping us?
49:56Think we're capable of being that for each other?
50:01You came.
50:04You called.
50:10What is your angle here?
50:13Honestly, because I can't be a punching bag for another man's fear.
50:22I sacrificed too much to sit on the sidelines.
50:28When you're young,
50:31you've got all these ideas and nowhere to put them.
50:38When you're getting to the end of it,
50:43all you've got
50:45what...
50:47is...
50:48Money.
50:55Yeah.
50:56Money.
51:05I want my name on the door.
51:09So do I.
51:17It's really funny how honest communication can feel like a...
51:23fucking...
51:24exorcism.
51:27Yeah.
51:30The problem with heaven on earth...
51:34is that nobody wants it when it's here.
51:47I was so fucking drunk.
51:49I passed through drunkenness to like...
51:51this new elevated level of sobriety.
51:55Then of course somebody put a fucking 10am in my diary.
51:59You good?
51:59Perfect, thank you.
52:10Remember I wanted to spare you this indignity.
52:21Mr. Atterbury, if you'd like to sit down.
52:25What are we doing here?
52:27Thanks, I'll stand.
52:29As you wish.
52:31Whit, what's going on?
52:33I think you should take a seat, man.
52:47Mr. Atterbury, we are assembled here to relieve you of your position of Chief Executive Officer.
52:54What the fuck does that mean?
52:55You are in breach of contract.
52:58Despite warnings.
53:00There are several behavioural clauses.
53:02Wait, what the fuck? What warnings?
53:04If a company reserves a right to terminate any executive who acts amorally, continually, with seemingly no compunction.
53:13Persistent consumption of narcotics on company premises.
53:17Persistent state of intoxication on company premises.
53:21Persistent misuse of company funds and misappropriation of expenses.
53:24Like fucking what?
53:25Sorry, no, like what? Like what?
53:27The playpen.
53:29Los Angeles, $2,800.
53:32Magic City, Atlanta, $4,300.
53:36Complaint continues.
53:37General hygiene not befitting status of executive function.
53:42Excuse me?
53:43Your odour, Mr. Atterbury.
53:47Your attire, your levels of cleanliness.
53:53The board have voted unanimously for dismissal.
53:57As a concession, your equity in the company remains undiluted and at the special request of Mr. Holberstrom,
54:05future dividends and additional benefits, healthcare, pension remain unchallenged.
54:12How fucking noble.
54:19Look at me, you asshole.
54:25Fucking look at my face!
54:29Say something!
54:32Fucking speak to me!
54:39The problem is...
54:43I'm not speaking to you, Jonah.
54:47I haven't seen you for some time.
54:52I would like to nominate myself as interim CEO while I conduct the search for a viable candidate.
54:57All in favor?
55:14I've started laying track with the new government's business department.
55:18Our comp is no longer Stripe or PayPal.
55:24It's not even Chase or Goldman Sachs.
55:27We're going to be all these things and more.
55:31We're going to be a bank killer.
56:18And I want to make all of these things up.
56:20How was he speaking?
56:20They were Sitting as a Principal.
56:20I didn't anticipate.
56:21Chick Core narrating.
56:22How was she?
56:25How are you doing?
