00:03Asset liquidation is effective immediately.
00:07You're exploiting this!
00:09Natalie, listen carefully.
00:11Your only option here is to marry someone who's got a criminal record.
00:14Then they can halt your debt for three months.
00:16Otherwise, you're bankrupt.
00:18I'm the most talented young artist in the country.
00:20How could I marry a criminal?
00:23I'd rather die.
00:33You bastard!
00:35How dare you destroy my art?
00:37Because you owe me.
00:38After your dad died, you racked up $400,000 in medical bills.
00:42Now sign this transfer agreement.
00:44You promised me a loan with no interest.
00:47Time to grow up, princess.
00:49The city can eat you.
00:51Go suck it, you scumbag!
00:55Get ready to be torn apart by the scum, bitch.
01:07If you can't find a place and a sponsor, go back to prison, you son of a bitch.
01:12If marrying a criminal is what it takes to win, then I'll marry one.
01:17Wait!
01:21Let's make a deal.
01:23We get a married.
01:25If I help you, what's in it for me?
01:30This isn't a favor.
01:31It's a business transaction.
01:33We both get what we need.
01:35So, what?
01:37You might be fine with your life being a total train wreck, but I have to win.
01:41And what makes you so sure you can?
01:43Because I'm Natalie.
01:45Interesting.
01:45You've got a deal, princess.
01:49You heard the man.
01:50Now take the cuffs off my husband.
01:58So, where to now, wife?
02:01First, we need to get you out of those rags.
02:05Fine by me.
02:17What the hell is wrong with you?
02:19We are in trouble.
02:21What now?
02:22We're broke.
02:25You dragged me shopping with no money?
02:27Relax.
02:29That's not relaxing.
02:30That's jail.
02:31Then do something smart.
02:33You'll see.
02:43You still need to pay, sir.
02:46Your system just double charged someone.
02:49What happens all the time with PoE-S systems?
02:52Wait!
02:53I just swiped my card, too!
02:55That's impossible.
03:01I just swiped my card, too.
03:04Hey!
03:06You didn't pay it.
03:08You'd better check that.
03:13You're not that terrible.
03:16Must be your imagination.
03:18Don't worry.
03:19It won't last.
03:35I thought you were broke.
03:37You don't know the half of it.
03:42I knew there was a catch.
03:49Looks like you had a pretty good life.
03:51I grew up here.
03:53I grew up here.
03:57They wanted me to sell it to pay off my debts.
04:08I'd rather go bankrupt.
04:11Look, I have a plan.
04:14I need to get back into that circle.
04:17What circle?
04:19My friends.
04:20Investors.
04:21Bankers.
04:22Collectors.
04:22If they back me...
04:23You really think they'll help you?
04:24You wouldn't understand.
04:26People like you never do.
04:28Yeah.
04:30You're right.
04:38What are you doing on my computer?
04:43Just a little hobby.
04:45Whatever.
04:46I just came to tell you something.
04:48You're coming with me to a gala tomorrow night.
04:50You want me at your fancy society party?
04:52That wasn't part of the deal.
04:55Fine.
04:56Not like you'd fit in next to me anyway.
05:00You're about to learn something.
05:03Those people aren't your friends.
05:05Then I guess I'll go see for myself.
05:09Natalie.
05:10I'm doing great.
05:11Long time no see.
05:13It's a beautiful evening.
05:15How have you been?
05:16I'm doing great.
05:17Really?
05:19Your bank might disagree.
05:21Can you believe this?
05:24Wow.
05:25Look who's here.
05:27I'm surprised you had the nerve to show up.
05:29I'm here to see my friend.
05:33Friends?
05:35Anyone here her friend?
05:42You're finished, Natalie.
05:49Classy.
05:50Who are you?
05:53Her husband.
06:00Didn't she marry a criminal?
06:02Your taste keeps getting worse.
06:05At least she didn't marry a parasite.
06:08Get out!
06:10Gladly.
06:17They used to be my friends.
06:20No.
06:21They were your shareholders.
06:34Sebastian Hale.
06:35You've got a report of a fraudulent marriage.
06:37You'll need to come with us.
06:43Wait.
06:45It's fine.
06:58We've been married three months.
07:03He steals my coffee every morning.
07:06And he leaves his clothes everywhere.
07:09Want me to keep going, honey?
07:11Thanks.
07:13All right then.
07:14Have a nice marriage.
07:16Convincing performance.
07:18Now you answer mine.
07:19Why were you at that party?
07:21I wasn't there to save you.
07:25Then why were you there?
07:27Looking for someone.
07:33Yesterday you said the loan was approved!
07:36Things changed.
07:38Your assets are now being taken over by Atlas Capital.
07:56When you hired me to build that system, we predict risk and acquire valuable assets.
08:03Your system identifies the weakest companies.
08:06High debt, tight cash flow.
08:07Then the pressure starts.
08:08Stories show up in the media.
08:10Banks tighten their loons.
08:11And suddenly the whole market panics.
08:12All it takes is the first domino.
08:15They fall.
08:17And then you show up.
08:19Buying everything for a tenth of what it's worth.
08:22Companies fall every day.
08:24I'm going to expose this!
08:42What are you arresting me for?
08:45Sebastian Hale.
08:46You are under arrest for financial fraud.
08:49So you think my family's collapse was their doing too?
08:54Looks that way.
08:55No.
08:57That's impossible.
08:58I'm just saying it fits the pattern.
09:04Look at this.
09:06Three banks pulled their credit in the same week.
09:08And these articles.
09:12All in the same week.
09:20No!
09:21That happened because my dad was sick.
09:23Maybe.
09:25Why are you so obsessed with this?
09:27Because I built that system.
09:28If it really ruined this many lives, I think I owe them something.
09:33My father spent his whole life in finance.
09:35He was smart, careful, and well-connected.
09:38We are not victims.
09:49No!
09:51They can't do this!
09:53Looks like...
09:55They already did.
09:57Loan default confirmed.
09:59Assets are being liquidated.
10:00I'll offer $800,000.
10:01That's too low.
10:02It could raise some questions.
10:04So what?
10:05You can't take this house!
10:08I'm not taking it.
10:10The bank is.
10:12You bastard!
10:14Ma'am, calm down!
10:17Let go of me!
10:19She's disrupting the peace.
10:21Take her away!
10:23Hold on.
10:25The house was just sold.
10:27If you arrest her now, you're admitting it already belongs to him.
10:31But the transfer isn't recorded yet.
10:33So the question is, is she causing trouble in her own house?
10:39Or on his casino property?
10:43It's a property dispute, not our problem.
10:46Let's go.
10:49Don't be upset.
10:52A year from now, this place will be a casino.
11:00They're going to tear it down.
11:03They took everything, legally.
11:09They won't win!
11:11What's the plan?
11:14Come with me.
11:19You sure this tunnel still works?
11:22I used to sneak out this way.
11:33We hosted dinners here every year.
11:37I'd hide upstairs and watch.
11:39Pretending I was one of them.
11:43My mom taught me to paint right here.
11:47Nat.
11:50They want this house.
11:53Then they can have it.
11:55As ashes.
12:03You're insane.
12:16Now we're accomplices.
12:30Should we call the fire department?
12:34Now the real game begins.
12:42Police have identified two suspects in the arson.
12:46Natalie Ashford and Sebastian Cole.
12:48Both are currently at large.
12:50Will the fire affect the casino project?
12:53No.
12:55This land is done with the past.
12:59We're building a new future here.
13:06I burned my own house.
13:08And it didn't slow them down at all.
13:10You really thought they'd stop?
13:14I thought they'd at least feel it.
13:17They only feel pain when money does.
13:19Will you help me, Sebastian Hare?
13:22When have I ever said no to you, princess?
13:25Call me that again and I'll punch you.
13:29That would be domestic violence.
13:32Focus.
13:35I have a feeling.
13:37You're going to fall for me.
13:41What is this?
13:44The thing that's about to ruin Atlas Capital.
13:47I left a rule in the system.
13:50If someone challenges the site's historical value, the whole project freezes.
13:56The estate?
13:58Perfect candidate.
14:00Casino project.
14:02Frozen.
14:04Mr. Julian, is it true the casino project has been frozen under a heritage review?
14:09Yes.
14:10Someone is trying to exploit a loophole to slow this city down.
14:15But it won't change the outcome.
14:16Natalie Grant.
14:17All you burned was a pile of rubble.
14:21The casino will still rise.
14:23Looks like we struck a nerve.
14:27He's trying to bait me.
14:29Which means the project's actually stuck.
14:33So what's next?
14:36Now we hit their money.
14:40That sounds more interesting.
14:42So how do we do it?
14:51Casino financing depends on the bank's risk reports.
14:54If the system suddenly flags a risk, the loan freezes automatically.
14:59So our plan is to rob a bank?
15:01More or less.
15:04All right then.
15:06Bonnie and Clyde enter the stage.
15:08About time.
15:14Are you sure this is going to work?
15:17The bank's risk system only runs on their internal network.
15:21Which means we had to do this in person.
15:24That doesn't exactly sound legal.
15:37Hope we don't get caught.
15:39Relax.
15:39I'm just making it run the risk check again.
15:46Is it done?
15:47Now the bank's going to freeze their money for us.
15:51Let's go.
15:52Let's go.
15:56What are you two doing here?
15:59I just had a fight with my husband.
16:02Needed somewhere quiet.
16:04You know, sometimes love makes people irrational.
16:08Sir, this is a staff area.
16:16I'll deal with him.
16:23You're kind of sexy when you do bad things.
16:25Really?
16:41So, what now?
16:43We just wait for the outcome.
16:46I can't believe we actually won.
16:48Yeah, I want to celebrate.
16:50How do we celebrate?
16:52Are you hungry?
16:56I thought we'd just keep running.
16:59We are.
17:01But now, so are they.
17:06How dare they do this?
17:08This is insane.
17:12I need to report this to the boss.
17:23Sir.
17:24The casino financing has been suspended.
17:27We've identified the people behind it.
17:28The fugitives Natalie Grant and Sebastian Hale.
17:31I hope you'll guide me on the next steps.
17:36Interesting.
17:37I'll meet them myself.
17:39Yes.
17:40I'll make the arrangements immediately.
17:50Who is it?
17:51The real owner of Atlas.
17:52Atlas.
17:53He wants to meet us?
17:55And he knows exactly where we are.
17:57Then let's go meet him.
18:01Sebastian Hale.
18:03Long time no see.
18:05Yeah.
18:06Since you kicked me out,
18:07circumstances were complicated.
18:11Natalie Grant.
18:12A woman who burns down her own estate.
18:14Either insane or a natural leader.
18:17Get to the point.
18:19Most people think you're attacking Atlas.
18:22But I see something else.
18:24A man who can turn chaos in the market into predictable data.
18:28And a woman who lost everything.
18:31Yet made half the city nervous.
18:34That combination has enormous potential.
18:38So I'm giving you a choice.
18:40Starting today, you run the casino project.
18:43Take back what is your sand more.
18:46Sebastian, come back.
18:48Chief Technology Officer.
18:50The entire tech division is yours.
18:55Think of it.
18:56The most powerful couple in finance.
18:58So do you want to remain my enemies or become my partners?
19:08So, have you made your decision?
19:10Your offer is tempting.
19:13I never make offers people can't accept.
19:16If I take over the casino,
19:19does the financing structure stay the same?
19:21Of course.
19:23What about Atlas Capital?
19:24If I needed to short a company and acquire it cheaply afterward.
19:29That's how large projects work.
19:30And how do you make sure the banks don't block my tog over?
19:34You give up a small piece.
19:37And suddenly the entire financial system becomes your friend.
19:43Sounds good.
19:44Someone like you should be designing systems, not tearing them apart.
19:48The problem is I can do both.
19:53I think the regulators will find your explanation very interesting.
19:58You really think a little clever trick can shake power?
20:01Real power can rewrite the evidence.
20:04You're going to regret this.
20:07Now!
20:08Get out of my office!
20:13You really sent it?
20:14Three copies.
20:16Regulators.
20:17Two media outlets.
20:21What the hell?
20:22Something's wrong.
20:23What?
20:24He intercepted the recording.
20:26That fast?
20:27My guess?
20:29Cops are already waiting downstairs.
20:32You mean...
20:33He never planned to trust us.
20:37Not for a second.
20:47How did you know this was coming?
20:49Because I've seen this play before.
20:57Are you sure it's safe down there?
20:59I'm fine.
21:00I've got this.
21:02You're serious?
21:04Trust me.
21:07Nice catch.
21:13I try not to let my partner die.
21:18Guess he's really pissed.
21:21That was only round one.
21:29Where are you going?
21:30Police!
21:31Stop!
21:33Stop!
21:39Over there!
21:40Go!
21:46This way.
21:51Everything's blocked.
21:53The media won't touch it either.
21:55It's not that they won't.
21:57They can't.
21:58You went through the system.
22:01Of course it got buried.
22:04Then how do we get it out?
22:06We don't use them.
22:09Meaning?
22:10We posted ourselves.
22:11Straight to social.
22:14That has zero legal weight.
22:17You still don't get it, Solv?
22:19We're not just leaking files.
22:21We're telling a story.
22:24The fire, the fire, the break-it, the manhunt.
22:26That's not the whole story.
22:28Atlas Protocol is.
22:30This isn't just your war or mine.
22:32It's ordinary people fighting the machine.
22:34If they can turn us into criminals, we turn the truth into a weapon.
22:38Natalie Grant.
22:40You're a fucking genius.
22:46Now let's move.
22:47If you're seeing this, it means we're still free.
22:51Atlas said we're seeing this.
22:52We tried to blackmail them.
22:53But what I'm about to tell you is the truth.
22:59If you're seeing this, it means we're still free.
23:03It's those two from last night.
23:05Atlas already put out a statement.
23:07Saying what?
23:09That they tried to blackmail them.
23:13Didn't look fake to me.
23:15News says they're manipulating public opinion.
23:17To get here.
23:18Yeah, but the view is worth it.
23:25He didn't take it down.
23:27Because he doesn't have to.
23:29People are already seeing his version.
23:33Regulators didn't move.
23:34Neither did the press.
23:36And social won't save us either.
23:42Every time we hit him, he turns it back on us.
23:46Because it's still just the two of us.
23:48Two people can't beat Atlas.
23:52Then we stop fighting while we run.
23:56We need a place.
23:58Somewhere they can't reach us.
24:00A base.
24:01Yeah.
24:02I know one.
24:11This is the place?
24:13It's enough to hide us.
24:15Also looks like a great place to get buried.
24:25Was this your mother's factory?
24:27No.
24:28She was just one of the workers who gave their lives to a place like this.
24:32I didn't mean...
24:34I know.
24:36You just never had to know the difference.
24:41Sorry.
24:43Is there anything usable down here?
24:45Yeah.
24:46Show me.
24:56You knew this still worked.
24:58I came back once a year.
24:59To remember her?
25:01To make sure.
25:03If the system ever threw me out, I'd still have somewhere to go.
25:06You're not alone anymore.
25:08Two people can't beat Atlas.
25:10But a base gives us a start.
25:14What are you waiting for?
25:15Come help me bring this place back to life.
25:23This time...
25:25We build it together.
25:37Looks like your backup plan can still shine.
25:42It's more reliable than Wall Street's credit.
25:51Raymond's moved a massive amount of money.
25:53This isn't liquidation.
25:55It's money laundering.
25:57The trail's been scrubbed.
25:59But there's one person who definitely knows.
26:02Remember my Sotheby's gold painting?
26:0530 million people once paid for my aesthetic.
26:08Now they only want to see you fall.
26:11Then let's give them something thrilling.
26:14You dig up the bodies in the code.
26:16And I'll package Atlas' cruelty into art they can understand.
26:22I'm Natalie Grant.
26:23You thought I burned a house?
26:24No, I burnt the dream that imprisoned us.
26:27Every day from now on, I will show you just how ugly the truth is.
26:34The cops are hunting a blonde artist, not a silver-haired underground waitress.
26:40That place is a lawless zone.
26:43That place is a lawless zone.
26:43They fear Raymond more than the police.
26:45The middleman V is there.
26:47Get that physical drive.
26:48It's the only decryption key.
27:00You watch it.
27:02Raven's cleaning house tonight.
27:05Every accountant who knows too much.
27:08Who...
27:09Who are you?
27:10I'm the one who can take you through the back door.
27:27Stop talking.
27:29Get in.
27:48Cloning complete.
27:49You're free.
27:50Raymond will tear you apart.
28:11I was carrying a physical tracker, but I jammed it in the car.
28:15Raymond thinks we're at the docks in the opposite direction.
28:17This is his jugular.
28:19Once I go public, the empire he built will crumble.
28:27Ready for first strike?
28:32Anytime.
28:47I'm Natalie Grant.
28:49Tonight, I'm tearing open capital's ugliest wound.
28:53Look at these numbers.
28:55Every cent you bank is turned into a blade to harvest you.
29:04It's below the threshold.
29:06Ten more minutes and his liquidity dries up.
29:10She's still so naive.
29:12Does she think truth wins?
29:20Activate Project Firewalled.
29:22Since she wants to play with opinion, let's drown her in it.
29:40This is impossible.
29:43This is the scale of national-level bank intervention.
29:49Raymond moved the entire alliance.
29:51They'd rather take a hit than let this fall.
30:03My account is suspended.
30:08They're calling me a fraud.
30:11The retail investors are cursing me.
30:16Natalie, art can be fiction, but capital only respects power.
30:20You think you're saving people?
30:23No.
30:24Because of your performance, thousands went first tonight.
30:27You're not a hero.
30:29You're the plague that brought them disaster.
30:34Justylls.
30:48Ha ha ha ha.
30:50Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
30:51Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
30:56He thinks I'm a plague, so I'll be one.
30:59Our accounts are frozen.
31:01The evidence is labeled as fake.
31:03What do you have to fight with?
31:07Tomorrow is his victory gala.
31:09He'll brag to the cameras about how he erased us.
31:12I'm going to make him say the dirty words himself.
31:16Signal's live.
31:18Natalie, take the evidence and leave.
31:20Don't stay a second longer.
31:27Does Raymond know you pocketed that 10 million in hedge funds?
31:34As long as Atlas stands, I am the rules.
31:44As long as Atlas stands, I am the rules.
31:57We won.
31:58Julian is finished.
32:03Julian is gone.
32:07But Atlas' stock rose two points.
32:10What are you talking about?
32:12We just cut off Raymond's right hand.
32:14Raymond just needs a new puppet.
32:18The system is self-repairing.
32:22While we are self-destructing.
32:31Come with me, Natalie.
32:33I got passports.
32:35We can disappear in South America.
32:37Run?
32:38That's your answer?
32:40We need to release the debt now.
32:42We need to kill the system.
32:45Kill the system?
32:46I built it.
32:47I know better than anyone how massive it is.
32:50We're biting steel with our teeth.
32:51You just have no balls.
32:53Prison broke you.
32:55I've seen enough blood.
32:56You want your artistic dignity, but I just want you alive.
33:00You were born a grant.
33:02You think the world should listen to you.
33:03But I was born in this scrap.
33:05I know the rules never change for us.
33:08People like you deserve to stay at the bottom forever.
33:26Hidden names.
33:44Mr. Raymond says you haven't finished your duty of support yet.
33:51Sebastian.
33:53Sebastian!
33:56Sebastian!
33:56Sebastian!
34:21Since the system wants to strip our dignity, I'll bury this dream myself.
34:27This is Atlas. It doesn't just swallow your pensions. It destroys those who dare to speak the truth.
34:45From now on, as long as Atlas beats, we never buy. We short everything.
35:09Eat it, Raymond. Swallow yourself whole.
35:16Your daughter's college loan is in these records about to vanish. Help me, and I'll wipe it clean.
35:36In the chaos, use the liquidation tunnel.
35:46I thought I may never see you again. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things to you.
35:53You were right, Natalie. Hiding like a rat in South America for the rest of my life wouldn't have saved
35:57me.
35:58And you did well. You cut its water. I drove a nail into its heart.
36:06So, shall we tear it down completely?
36:10Down to the last gear.
36:29This is its heart. Raymond said a stop loss.
36:33If global withdrawals hit the threshold, the system sacrifices his private reserves first.
36:47We'll make his own system. Swallow him whole.
36:57Tonight, we don't talk about art.
37:01We talk about survival.
37:04Raymond tells you your money is safe.
37:13He didn't tell you it's a bed built on a powder keg.
37:20At midnight, GMT, everyone, log in and hit Retour.
37:45Send the tactical team to the plaza.
37:48Whoever leads the withdrawal.
37:50Make them disappear.
38:01Don't back down.
38:04Every cent withdrawn is a bullet fired at a dictator.
38:21War! War! War! War happens! War happens!
38:32War happens! War happens!
38:44Stop! I am your creator!
38:48Commence con-conflict. Prioritizing liquidation. For overall stability.
39:01Look, without the lies, this empire is just a pile of code.
39:16He's bankrupt. Not just in cash, but in credibility.
39:21Waves!
39:32Waves!
39:50You won, but I created Atlas.
39:55Without me, world finance is just a mess.
40:02You're wrong, the system is still there.
40:18Kill me, and you'll just add one more blood debt to the debt map.
40:26The investigation team is downstairs.
40:29Now, the system will generate your guilt.
40:37Sebastian, you destroyed your own masterpiece.
41:01You were right.
41:03Wealth shouldn't be cold numbers.
41:06It should have warmth.
41:08And your dignity?
41:10Did you find it?
41:18I don't want the glory of the grant name anymore.
41:21I want to be a real painter.
41:34Then I'll be your first apprentice.
41:45Did we really change the world?
41:52We didn't let the world change us.
41:54I will do.
