00:03:28You're insane!
00:03:32I built your career from nothing.
00:03:35And you climb into my bed to thank me?
00:03:37Thank you?
00:03:38Claire, you know what I hated most?
00:03:42That look, that holier-than-the look.
00:03:47Enough.
00:03:49Evan!
00:03:50At the awards, you set me up, and now you're with her?
00:03:53I set you up?
00:03:54Claire.
00:03:56You really think those documents were forged?
00:03:59What did you say?
00:04:01Where do you think Hayes Capital's seed money came from?
00:04:04Where do you think your startup capital actually came from?
00:04:08I gave you five years in the spotlight, Claire.
00:04:11Five years of applause, awards, magazine covers.
00:04:16Now it's time to give it all back.
00:04:19You've been lying from day one?
00:04:20What did you expect?
00:04:21You thought I actually loved you?
00:04:23A woman whose entire mind is a Bloomberg teller?
00:04:25So, all of it was a set-up?
00:04:28Yes.
00:04:29Now, get out.
00:04:31This is my home.
00:04:34Your home?
00:04:36Claire, did you forget whose name is on the deed?
00:04:40Your name was never on this property.
00:04:42Not once.
00:04:44Not ever.
00:04:46Victor.
00:04:47Victor.
00:04:50Show Miss Hayes out.
00:04:51From this moment on, she is no longer welcome in this house.
00:04:55Miss Hayes, this way, please.
00:05:05Miss Hayes, the rain is heavy.
00:05:07This should cover and a cab.
00:05:13Victor, thank you.
00:05:15Take care of yourself, Miss Hayes.
00:05:35Kai, come get me.
00:05:36Miss Hayes.
00:05:37I'm sorry.
00:05:38Mr. Sterling just gave the word.
00:05:39Every company car is off limits to you.
00:05:41Froze my accounts.
00:05:43Burned my contacts.
00:05:45Evan, that's the best you've got?
00:05:59Wiped me out?
00:06:02Fine, Evan.
00:06:03Then I'll build it back.
00:06:05From zero.
00:06:06I'm taking back every piece.
00:06:08Then I'm shorting your kingdom straight into the dirt.
00:06:11Victor.
00:06:13This 20 might be the last warm thing on Wall Street tonight.
00:06:24Mark, how much do you know about what Evan did?
00:06:27Miss Hayes, I don't know anything.
00:06:30Michael.
00:06:30You picked his side too, didn't you?
00:06:32Claire, I'm sorry.
00:06:34Evan said if I helped you, my son's study abroad gets revoked.
00:06:36My whole family gets blackballed off the street.
00:06:39So you were threatened.
00:06:40What's the difference?
00:06:40The result is the same.
00:06:41The difference is when you're threatened, you still got to choose.
00:06:44You didn't choose me.
00:06:45But I won't hate you for it.
00:06:55Friends, allies, rules, all useless.
00:07:10This is my notebook from when I made my first real money?
00:07:18Numbers can lie.
00:07:20Human nature, you can't.
00:07:22Short it.
00:07:26This is the financing structure from five years ago?
00:07:31Evan, you forgot.
00:07:33Before I was anyone's CEO, I was the wolf hunting in the data jungle.
00:07:38You took my company, my name, everything I built.
00:07:43But you can't take this, the instinct in my bones.
00:07:47Mrs. Hayes.
00:07:48You also want Evan to pay, don't you?
00:07:51What do you want me to do?
00:07:53Nothing.
00:07:54Stay his butler.
00:07:56When I need you, I'll tell you.
00:08:15New face.
00:08:17You know the rules here?
00:08:18I heard this place lets you trade high leverage futures with small capital.
00:08:22Two grand minimum.
00:08:23You lose, don't cry.
00:08:24Nobody here cares if you live or die.
00:08:27Give me a terminal.
00:08:52Shorting Sterling Group's Novotech?
00:08:54That's the hottest stock of the month.
00:08:56Lady, you here to donate cash?
00:08:57Is she crazy?
00:08:59Novotech just popped 5% today.
00:09:01Every analyst on the street is bullish.
00:09:08What?
00:09:13I'm done.
00:09:14Margin call.
00:09:15I'm wiped out.
00:09:16Close it out.
00:09:18Why won't it close?
00:09:24Cash me out.
00:09:26How the hell did you know Novotech would tank tonight?
00:09:30They're receivables, three buyers, 67%.
00:09:34Name scrubbed, but you can trace them.
00:09:37All shells.
00:09:37The minute the annuals drop, the institutions bolt.
00:09:41Because Evan loves a shiny package.
00:09:43Crack it open, the books are always rotten.
00:09:49Mr. Wright, that woman you flagged, she just turned two grand into $40,000.
00:09:54Right in my pit.
00:09:56Stay on her.
00:09:58Don't blink.
00:10:09Who the hell is she?
00:10:10Banked another 80 grand last night.
00:10:12Don't ask.
00:10:12Marcus said don't mess with her.
00:10:13Mr. Wright, two grand to 800K.
00:10:15Three nights flat.
00:10:16She's sitting on roughly 800,000.
00:10:19What's her play?
00:10:19Surgical way too clean.
00:10:21Every entry.
00:10:22Like she's reading the cards before they hit the table.
00:10:25Stay on her.
00:10:26I've got a feeling.
00:10:27She's the one.
00:10:28The one I've been hunting for three years.
00:10:32Sir, Novotech crashed.
00:10:35It tripped the margin call on the whole supply chain.
00:10:38How bad?
00:10:4030 million and counting.
00:10:41If it keeps bleeding at the open tomorrow, the banks reopen our supply chain credit review.
00:10:45Who's pulling the trigger?
00:10:47No fingerprints.
00:10:48The book is spotless.
00:10:49Whoever it is, they time the trigger to the millisecond.
00:10:57Evan, that was just the first cut.
00:10:59We're only getting started.
00:11:12Babe, look who it is.
00:11:14Claire, I figured you'd have crawled back to whatever small town you came from by now.
00:11:19Evan, check out the briefcase.
00:11:21Bet it's stuffed with resumes.
00:11:23Job hunting on Wall Street, sweetie.
00:11:25Without your company, you're a nobody.
00:11:27What job is she going to land?
00:11:28Hostess at a diner?
00:11:30Don't forget, I made the calls.
00:11:32Not one firm in New York will touch you.
00:11:35You done?
00:11:36Excuse me?
00:11:37I said, are you done?
00:11:40Because you're in my way.
00:11:41Evan Sterling, take a real good look at me.
00:11:45And remember exactly how you're looking down at me right now.
00:11:48Because the next time we cross paths, you won't dare talk to me.
00:11:54Like that.
00:11:58You look lost, Claire.
00:12:00Wall Street finally run out of doors to slam in your face.
00:12:04Sir, Novatex crashed.
00:12:05Tripped a chain of margin calls from the top of by three sharp or they yanked the supply chain credit.
00:12:09Useless.
00:12:10Can't even handle the small stuff.
00:12:11Babe, what was that about?
00:12:13Forget her.
00:12:14I'm starving.
00:12:16Nothing.
00:12:16Just office noise.
00:12:19Don't ever cross my path again.
00:12:28I'm not here for your crown.
00:12:30I'm here for the ground under your feet.
00:12:35Miss Hayes.
00:12:37And you are?
00:12:38My boss would like a word.
00:12:40I don't know your boss.
00:12:41But he knows you.
00:12:43Has.
00:12:44Since the second you shorted Novatex.
00:12:47He says he can give you the stage to take it all back.
00:12:53Lead the way.
00:13:00Speak.
00:13:01She didn't come tonight, but the floor is talking.
00:13:03They're calling her the Oracle.
00:13:04Three guys copied her plays today.
00:13:06All blew up.
00:13:07Only she made money.
00:13:08You hear about her?
00:13:09That woman walked in three days ago with two grand.
00:13:12Where it is she's sitting on six figures now.
00:13:14More than that.
00:13:15My guy at another underground desk saw her last night.
00:13:17Shorted three tickers.
00:13:18Nailed every single one.
00:13:19Lucky run, right?
00:13:20And this tape, who hasn't blown up an account?
00:13:24Luck?
00:13:25She reverse engineered the cash flow on all three names.
00:13:29Like she was reading the deck before the cards hit.
00:13:32Capital under management.
00:13:33Conservative.
00:13:34Close to 900 grand.
00:13:35I pulled her traits from last night.
00:13:36Every short was a Sterling Group supply chain entity.
00:13:39She's not gambling.
00:13:41She's building a trap.
00:13:43She's building a trap.
00:13:43You mean?
00:13:44Every trade she makes has a target.
00:13:46Her target isn't money.
00:13:48It's the destruction of Sterling Group.
00:13:50Three years.
00:13:52I've been searching three years, and I just found her.
00:13:55Found what?
00:13:56Someone who can flip Wall Street upside down.
00:14:02Looks like the wolf is coming out of her cage.
00:14:13Nova Tech.
00:14:15How did you know about the related party transactions in advance?
00:14:18I didn't.
00:14:19I just read every public filing and found the leverage point they buried.
00:14:23Your analysis is sharper than my entire research team's, but I don't back Avengers.
00:14:28I back winners.
00:14:30You get one hour.
00:14:31Show me the next bomb at Sterling.
00:14:33If you can't, you out.
00:14:36I don't need an hour.
00:14:40Sterling's tier two suppliers, their short-term debt is fully backed by Sterling's credit guarantee.
00:14:45But Sterling's credit rating is being downgraded because of the Nova Tech short I triggered.
00:14:50Once the guarantee fails, Pan-Asia metals debt triggers cross-default.
00:14:55This isn't speculation.
00:14:56It's arithmetic.
00:14:59I keep a team of overpaid idiots.
00:15:01They took three weeks.
00:15:02You and I was using my last dollar to survive.
00:15:08Survive?
00:15:10Hayes Capital.
00:15:11A three-year build.
00:15:13That wasn't luck.
00:15:15Good.
00:15:16I like your honesty.
00:15:19And I respect your skill.
00:15:22Obsidian Capital.
00:15:24I provide the funds, the team, and the highest trading access on the street.
00:15:29You only need to provide the strategy.
00:15:35The terms?
00:15:3750-50 on all profits.
00:15:39Draw down over 10% you out.
00:15:41And, all trading authority stays with me.
00:15:45Then you'd better pray my revenge happens to be very profitable.
00:15:48My target is to dismantle Sterling Group with my own hands.
00:15:53Your revenge doesn't interest me.
00:15:55But I'm happy to provide the stage and the tickets for a hell of a show.
00:15:58As long as you keep delivering profit.
00:16:00As long as you don't get in my way.
00:16:02I only care about results.
00:16:08Welcome to Obby and Claire.
00:16:12So, partner.
00:16:14What's your first move?
00:16:16First, I sever Evan's favorite cash fund.
00:16:20I want him to watch.
00:16:21His empire wrought from the foundation up.
00:16:26Claire, after Novotec, you've been seven for seven.
00:16:30But this one?
00:16:31Shorting Oceanic Freight.
00:16:33They have government contracts?
00:16:34Oceanic Freight.
00:16:35Target confirmed.
00:16:36Build the short.
00:16:37Claire, that's a death wish.
00:16:38Their financials are rock solid.
00:16:40Cash flow is healthy.
00:16:40Every analyst loves them.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:42Our model says shorting them is suicide.
00:16:45Your model missed something.
00:16:47What detail?
00:16:47We audited the contract three times.
00:16:49Look a fourth time.
00:16:51Appendix C.
00:16:52Section 4.
00:16:54The South America Route Renewal Clause.
00:17:02This is a hidden poison pill clause.
00:17:05If it triggers, their fleet capacity gets cut in half.
00:17:09Christ, how did we miss this?
00:17:12Remember this.
00:17:13The devil is always in the details.
00:17:15Now kill all doubts.
00:17:17Build the position.
00:17:22Miss Hayes, there's a visitor downstairs.
00:17:24Not now.
00:17:25Trading hours, I see no one.
00:17:26It's a Financial Times reporter.
00:17:29He says he knows your previous identity.
00:17:32Previous identity?
00:17:36My previous identity was the spouse of a Sterling Group employee.
00:17:39I never signed an NDA.
00:17:40I have zero legal obligation to silence.
00:17:46But how does he know?
00:17:47He won't share.
00:17:48Just says it's a finance source who wishes to remain anonymous.
00:17:58What the hell?
00:18:00This article ties us to the Novotec case.
00:18:04They're calling it malicious shorting.
00:18:12Make him wait two hours.
00:18:14After close, conference room.
00:18:24Claire, this is over.
00:18:26If the SEC labels us inside information manipulation, the entire fund is finished.
00:18:31We have to close every position.
00:18:32Hold everything.
00:18:33Evan, your counterpunch came faster than I thought.
00:18:37But that's all you've got.
00:18:44Listen, all of you.
00:18:49Remember who you are.
00:18:51You're Obsidian Capital traitors.
00:18:53Not gossip calamists or some sidewalk tabloid.
00:19:02But, Claire, Evan Sterling's counterstrike is coming.
00:19:06We'll be the target of every desk on the street.
00:19:08His counter.
00:19:12I've been waiting for his counter.
00:19:21Sir, over the past three weeks, three of our core supply chain stocks have crashed.
00:19:27Nearly 30 billion in market cap.
00:19:29Gone.
00:19:30Have you traced who's behind it?
00:19:32We have.
00:19:33It's Obsidian Capital.
00:19:35Obsidian?
00:19:37William Wright?
00:19:38That old fox wants a piece of me?
00:19:40No, sir.
00:19:42According to our intel, the main hand on the trade...
00:19:46Who?
00:19:48It's Miss Hayes.
00:19:50Who?
00:19:51Claire?
00:19:53Craig, are you joking right now?
00:19:55Sir, these are all the trade records and model analysis.
00:19:59Surgical, lethal.
00:20:01Every entry like she's reading the cards.
00:20:08This, this can't be.
00:20:10This model is sharper than my top quads.
00:20:18When the hell did they hook up?
00:20:22Tom Black, Financial Iams.
00:20:24Miss Hayes, thank you for your time.
00:20:26Your source, who?
00:20:27Source protection, you understand.
00:20:30I do.
00:20:31So I'll respond with the same professionalism.
00:20:33No comment about my private life, my past, or anything unrelated to Obsidian's investment
00:20:39strategy.
00:20:39No comment.
00:20:40And if I tell you my source handed me this...
00:20:44Four months ago, you were the CEO of Hayes Capital.
00:20:47Three months later, you're here, the most talked about analyst on the street.
00:20:50And this, your registration record at the underground trading pit.
00:20:53What do you want?
00:20:54A fascinating story.
00:20:55Headline already written.
00:20:56Sterling's cast off bride, the Wall Street Phantom.
00:20:59Great headline, but it's missing one critical element.
00:21:03What?
00:21:04Accuracy.
00:21:05You write stories, I write numbers.
00:21:07Stories sell papers, numbers print money.
00:21:09I'll give you a better story.
00:21:12But, you wait two weeks.
00:21:14Wait for what?
00:21:15For a number that turns your headline from gossip to history.
00:21:26Evan, did you see the news?
00:21:28That bitch, she's in the Wall Street Journal.
00:21:30They're calling her some phantom analyst.
00:21:32What the...
00:21:33Shut up!
00:21:36Legal, get in here now!
00:21:40Claire, you really think a backer makes you my equal?
00:21:44I made you what you were.
00:21:46I can erase you into nothing.
00:21:47Just watch.
00:21:48This time, I won't leave you a single way back up.
00:22:00Sir, they're all here.
00:22:06Claire thinks hiding behind William makes her safe.
00:22:09I'll teach her.
00:22:11Wall Street isn't her decision to make.
00:22:13Get on the phone with the New York Post and every finance blog you know.
00:22:17The Obsidian Phantom.
00:22:18Dirty trades behind the short queen.
00:22:21Understood.
00:22:22Focus angle?
00:22:22Imply she's using her personal relationship with William to access inside information.
00:22:28Don't need proof.
00:22:30Just sources close to the matter.
00:22:33The public eats that up.
00:22:35Draft in three days.
00:22:36And, uh, reach out to Sterling's three partner banks.
00:22:39Tell them if they keep clearing for Obsidian, Sterling terminates every line of business with you.
00:22:44Sir, that...
00:22:45That pushes our funding costs up at least 200 basis points.
00:22:48I'd burn a hundred million before letting her see another sunrise.
00:22:51Get it done.
00:22:58Mr. Wright, Evan Sterling.
00:23:01Evan, long time.
00:23:06A proposition.
00:23:08Drop Claire.
00:23:09Name your price.
00:23:10Are you threatening me or buying me?
00:23:12Both.
00:23:13We both know she's just a tool.
00:23:15Tools can be swapped.
00:23:17Evan, your biggest problem isn't stupidity.
00:23:20It's that you can't read people.
00:23:27There's good protege.
00:23:28Aiden, this is Lynn, vice president of Aethel Capital.
00:23:31Sorry to intrude, but I have a proposal here.
00:23:33I think you'll be very interested.
00:23:35Lynn, I hear things aren't going so well for you at Aethel.
00:23:39I have indeed been looking for a more suitable platform lately.
00:23:42The proposal I have...
00:23:43Offshore structuring, debt transfer, shell listing.
00:23:47Offshore structuring, this proposal, did you come up with it yourself?
00:23:51Mr. Aiden, this is entirely my original work.
00:23:54All right.
00:23:55You've convinced me.
00:23:56I'll take the proposal.
00:23:57Once the merger goes through, you can put your name on it however you like.
00:24:00But one thing.
00:24:02This proposal must be Aethel's original work.
00:24:04Understood?
00:24:05Understood.
00:24:10Let Claire watch.
00:24:13I'll build my empire with her own people.
00:24:25Miss Hayes!
00:24:29An SEC subpoena!
00:24:31They filed.
00:24:33Suspected market manipulation.
00:24:35If they open a case, every trade we have gets frozen.
00:24:38The fund hits redemption risk!
00:24:42Hannah.
00:24:43Yes?
00:24:45Pull every compliance report, trade log, and email chain from our oceanic freight short.
00:24:50All of it.
00:24:52All of it?
00:24:53Yes.
00:24:55Have legal organize it voluntarily submit.
00:24:57Full cooperation.
00:24:58Voluntarily?
00:24:59That's handing them the evidence.
00:25:01Someone wants to look.
00:25:02I'll give them a clear view.
00:25:04Every step I've taken survives any audit.
00:25:08He wants to beat me with the rules.
00:25:10I'll use the rules to dismantle him.
00:25:18The SEC investigation closes in two weeks.
00:25:22My lawyer's confirmed.
00:25:26He's just wasting my time.
00:25:28Evan Sterling won't let this go.
00:25:30He'll burn every resource to erase you from the street.
00:25:33I know.
00:25:34Which is why I'm done playing his children's game.
00:25:39My new plan.
00:25:41Oh?
00:25:42Evan thinks if he protects the top-tier suppliers, he stabilizes.
00:25:46But he forgot.
00:25:47What holds up his empire isn't the big names.
00:25:49It's the legions of squeezed, fragile tier two suppliers.
00:25:53Tier two suppliers?
00:25:54They're debt chains, fragile as paper.
00:25:56I bypassed his front line.
00:25:59And hit the most fragile debt links.
00:26:01Cut the cash flow of his entire supply chain.
00:26:05I thought you only wanted to dismantle his empire.
00:26:09Claire, you're more dangerous than I bet on.
00:26:13Sir, the SEC investigation just closed.
00:26:17And that woman finally pays for her stupidity.
00:26:21Every Avectian capital trade, fully compartmentalized.
00:26:24The SEC dismissed all of our complaints.
00:26:27Compliant?
00:26:28Impossible!
00:26:29She must have pulled strings.
00:26:31Evan, this isn't the moment to dig into that.
00:26:33Our supply chain is collapsing.
00:26:35Just now, our third core supplier crashed.
00:26:39Their CEO called.
00:26:40They're filing for bankruptcy protection.
00:26:42Shut up!
00:26:43Useless!
00:26:44Can't even handle one woman I tossed out!
00:26:48Sir, this is the Obsidian Capital Flow trace we pulled.
00:26:55Let's see who gave her the nerve.
00:27:00Find it!
00:27:01Trace this money to the source!
00:27:03I'll send her and whoever's backing her straight to hell!
00:27:06We can't.
00:27:07Funds come from a top-secret offshore trust.
00:27:08Our people don't have access.
00:27:11What did you say?
00:27:12Whoever this is.
00:27:15The background is bottomless.
00:27:22Out!
00:27:23Everyone, out!
00:27:30They're making it up!
00:27:32Saying we used inside information and questioning the source of your funds.
00:27:37More than that.
00:27:40Three banks just notified they're suspending clearing services.
00:27:44Reason, risk reassessment.
00:27:49The narrative is spreading.
00:27:50The social media is piling on.
00:27:52A few partners are calling for an explanation.
00:27:56Evan's panicking.
00:27:58Claire!
00:27:58This isn't about who's panicking!
00:28:00If they cut our clearing, we can't open positions tomorrow!
00:28:04Every position gets force liquidated!
00:28:06Names of the three banks?
00:28:07Manhattan First Bank, Atlantic Trust, and Sterling Commercial Bank.
00:28:11The last one is Evan's affiliate.
00:28:12Expected.
00:28:13Tell Mr. Wright, I need him to activate the offshore clearing channel.
00:28:16He's already on it.
00:28:17He said, show Evan what real resources look like.
00:28:21As for the article, what is PR proposing?
00:28:24They're suggesting a cease and desist letter or a press conference to clarify?
00:28:29No.
00:28:30Explanations are the weakest possible reply.
00:28:34Have PR do one thing.
00:28:36Take every publicly verifiable trade from my last three months.
00:28:40Build it into a visual report.
00:28:42Title, numbers don't lie.
00:28:44Post it on Obsidian's site.
00:28:45No response to gossip, only performance.
00:28:48Slap them with facts.
00:28:49The public loves stories, but Wall Street only respects numbers.
00:28:52Once our P&L curve goes public, that article becomes scrap paper.
00:28:56And, email every partner.
00:28:57Attach our compliance report and performance data.
00:28:59No explanation.
00:29:00Just show them who's making money and who's losing it.
00:29:03Got it.
00:29:06Sir, we have a problem with the banks.
00:29:08Speak.
00:29:09Manhattan First and Atlantic Trust just called.
00:29:11They reinstated clearing for Obsidian.
00:29:13And what?
00:29:14And they stated, going forward, they won't adjust risk assessments based on third-party pressure.
00:29:19Between the lines, someone is backing light.
00:29:23And the article.
00:29:25Any traction?
00:29:26Day two after publication.
00:29:28Obsidian posted Claire's trade record on their site.
00:29:31Three-month annualized return, 347%.
00:29:35Comments section is roasting us for spreading lies.
00:29:38PR, keep writing!
00:29:40Keep writing until she's buried!
00:29:42Sir, the New York Post just got back to us.
00:29:44They're not pursuing further.
00:29:45Engagement was high, but trust score hit an all-time low.
00:29:50Now, this woman, I underestimated her.
00:29:54Claire, after our performance report dropped, site traffic broke every record.
00:29:58A dozen funds reached out for partnership talks.
00:30:01Evan tried to kill me with media.
00:30:03Ended up running free ads for us.
00:30:05Now, it's our turn.
00:30:16Evan, you're standing there drinking?
00:30:19Look at this!
00:30:21She's the new face of Wall Street!
00:30:23And me?
00:30:24Didn't you say she had nothing left?
00:30:26I told you, shut up!
00:30:28You're telling me to shut up?
00:30:30What did you promise me?
00:30:31It's all gone!
00:30:32Every endorsement, gone!
00:30:33Get the hell away from me!
00:30:46Claire, PanAsia medals, was that you?
00:30:49No.
00:30:50No? Who else could it be?
00:30:51It's consequence.
00:30:53Sterling's credit rating got downgraded.
00:30:55PanAsia's short-term debt was fully guaranteed by Sterling's credit.
00:30:58Guarantee fails!
00:30:59Debt defaults!
00:31:00The market panics into selling!
00:31:02Chain reaction.
00:31:03I just saw the ending before they did.
00:31:05You knew this would happen all along?
00:31:07I'm not betting on stock prices.
00:31:09I'm betting on human nature.
00:31:12Evan's too arrogant.
00:31:13He thinks he writes the rules.
00:31:16Miss Hayes?
00:31:17Downstairs.
00:31:21Reporters?
00:31:23Yes.
00:31:24Wall Street Journal, Financial Time.
00:31:26All of them.
00:31:34Miss Hayes, are your serial shorts on Sterling a personal revenge against your ex-fiancé, Evan?
00:31:39Wall Street calls you the phantom analyst.
00:31:41Do you admit to using inside information to manipulate the market?
00:31:44Rumor says you're backed by Mystery Capital.
00:31:46Is it true?
00:31:50Let the market answer.
00:32:04A nice opportunity to see some old friends.
00:32:08I'll need a gown.
00:32:10Already taken care of.
00:32:14Sterling Group's market cap evaporated another 15% today.
00:32:18The market wildly believes that Obsidian Capital's successive short-melling has breached the group's credit bottom line.
00:32:27She probably won't come, right?
00:32:32Darling.
00:32:34Tonight, I'm the center of this room.
00:32:37Of course.
00:32:44Who is that?
00:32:49Gravitational pole.
00:32:51Must be another consortium chief.
00:33:00The Eternal Star.
00:33:02That necklace?
00:33:0330 million dollars?
00:33:04How is she even wearing it?
00:33:07Wasn't she wiped out?
00:33:13Claire.
00:33:14Didn't expect to see you here.
00:33:16Move.
00:33:19You...
00:33:20Well, well.
00:33:22Look who crawled back off the curb.
00:33:24Did Evan forget to take out the trash?
00:33:27Found yourself a new meal, Len, already?
00:33:28I'm Evan's fiancé, the future lady of Sterling Group.
00:33:33Oh, that red dress.
00:33:35Versailles silk, last fall's line.
00:33:37If memory serves, it's leftover inventory from a Sterling teptile subsidiary clearing out dead stock.
00:33:43You're lying!
00:33:44Evan custom ordered this newest piece!
00:33:46Has Sterling's balance sheet really gotten so bad that you need clearance stock to dress the showroom?
00:33:51Last year's leftover stock.
00:33:53That's painful.
00:33:57Claire!
00:33:59Don't push it!
00:34:14Don't push it!
00:34:16Mr. Wright.
00:34:22Douglas, meet Claire, my partner.
00:34:26Miss Hayes.
00:34:30The phantom analyst.
00:34:33Your name precedes you.
00:34:35Mr. Douglas, I'm on the clock.
00:34:37I want your Kensington Pharma senior loan trant.
00:34:41Mrs. Hayes, you're joking.
00:34:42Kensington is Sterling's biggest client.
00:34:45Their debt...
00:34:46Is burning.
00:34:47Isn't it?
00:34:47Sterling's credit is collapsing.
00:34:50Kensington's cash flow goes next.
00:34:52That paper on your books turns into a bad debt.
00:34:55Fast.
00:34:56That's market speculation.
00:34:58I don't speculate.
00:35:00I calculate.
00:35:02I'm offering you a fair price.
00:35:04To exit before the disaster.
00:35:11Of course, of course, Miss Hayes, your offer is extremely attractive.
00:35:17And?
00:35:18Monday morning, my office will talk every detail.
00:35:24Claire, wait!
00:35:29What the hell do you want?
00:35:31I don't understand the question.
00:35:34Money?
00:35:35How much?
00:35:3550 million?
00:35:36100?
00:35:37Just say a number and stop.
00:35:38I'll write the check.
00:35:41Money.
00:35:42Money.
00:35:42Yeah!
00:35:43That's what all this is about, isn't it?
00:35:44That's who you've always been!
00:35:47Evan, you still see me that way.
00:35:49An apology?
00:35:50Fine, I'll apologize for everything.
00:35:52I'll take out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal.
00:35:55I don't want your money.
00:35:58I want all of it.
00:36:01Everything you have.
00:36:14Evan!
00:36:15Losses piling up.
00:36:16Supply chain gone!
00:36:18How is this company supposed to keep running?
00:36:20Kensington Pharma's receivables.
00:36:22Our biggest client.
00:36:23Their debt was acquired by a third party last night.
00:36:27We can't even collect what they owe us.
00:36:29Shut up!
00:36:31Shut up?
00:36:33We need emergency funding now!
00:36:37Or next week, we can't even make payroll!
00:36:41What are the banks saying?
00:36:44I called three banks.
00:36:46They speak.
00:36:48They all rejected our loan applications.
00:36:52It's over.
00:36:53All of it.
00:36:55All of it.
00:36:55Their reason.
00:36:56Our credit rating is no longer sufficient for new lending.
00:37:03I don't want your money.
00:37:04I want all of it.
00:37:06Everything you have.
00:37:09It's her.
00:37:11All of this is her.
00:37:14Sir, Miss Claire's car is parked right outside the building.
00:37:17She says she's waiting for you.
00:37:25Evan, where are you going?
00:37:28Evan, where are you going?
00:37:33Claire, have you lost your mind?
00:37:36I'm completely sane.
00:37:39You destroy all of this to get back at me?
00:37:45Wreck a thousand jobs?
00:37:47Their livelihood?
00:37:48When you threw me out, left me with nothing.
00:37:52Did you spare a second for my livelihood?
00:37:57I had to.
00:37:58You did it for your love?
00:38:00Your new life?
00:38:02You weren't like this before!
00:38:04You were soft.
00:38:05You were warm.
00:38:06I've always been like this.
00:38:09You, Evan, you just never looked.
00:38:23Claire.
00:38:26Ladies and gentlemen, today we launch what Aethel Capital has spent a year building.
00:38:32A cross-border M&O model that integrates the most advanced offshore kirk structure and risk logic.
00:38:38Total deal size, $12 billion.
00:38:48Mr. Lin, some industry experts say this looks similar to old Hazel Capital's frameworks.
00:38:54Old frameworks?
00:38:55Some people's thinking is stuck in the past.
00:38:58You can't coast on a name forever.
00:39:01Lin used to work under Claire.
00:39:02Whatever genius play Claire pulled back then, the street saw through it years ago.
00:39:06Lin's the real talent.
00:39:08A Haz-Thone is Wall Street's daily breakfast.
00:39:16Lin.
00:39:19Your redeemable preferred shares.
00:39:21Third layer B-Vice structure.
00:39:23What's the trigger condition?
00:39:25Claire?
00:39:26This is Aethel proprietary.
00:39:28I can't discuss it.
00:39:29March 2024.
00:39:30IRS tax ruling 2024-18.
00:39:33Non-qualified offshore entities.
00:39:35Punitive tax rates apply.
00:39:37Your innovation, three months ago, was already classified as a tax mine.
00:39:41And the bigger problem, your cross-border capital path routes through Credit Suisse Zurich.
00:39:46That bank was added to the OFAS secondary sanctions list last year for transactions with sanctioned entities.
00:39:54Sign a $12 billion deal with this structure.
00:39:56Day two.
00:39:57Accounts frozen.
00:39:5847% tax plus OAP penalties.
00:40:03How do you know?
00:40:05When you copied my framework, you missed the last page.
00:40:08The risk register.
00:40:10I spent three months pulling it from case law and tax rulings.
00:40:14It's not in textbooks.
00:40:15My revised plan.
00:40:16Funding cost down 22%.
00:40:18Zero tax risk.
00:40:19Zero sanctions risk.
00:40:20Mr. Philip.
00:40:22Aethel's genius borrowed my old work and forgot the licensing fee.
00:40:25Now I'm offering the upgrade for free on one condition.
00:40:27This deal?
00:40:28Obsidian takes it over in full.
00:40:35Philip.
00:40:36I put two million in her.
00:40:38It's four million on paper now.
00:40:41How much did you put into Lynn?
00:40:45Sell the signing.
00:40:55Satisfied.
00:40:57Just interest.
00:41:01Boss!
00:41:03Aethel's called off the merger talks.
00:41:04And our backup plan, that's also...
00:41:07That useless trash Lynn couldn't even hold on to something he stole!
00:41:15Claire, how far are you going to push this?
00:41:18Evan, you spent five years studying me.
00:41:20Lynn copied for three months.
00:41:22He was cheaper than me.
00:41:24Also more fragile.
00:41:25You picked the wrong knife.
00:41:31She doesn't just want my company.
00:41:35She wants my name.
00:41:37A race from Wall Street.
00:41:48What is this?
00:41:57Evan!
00:41:58My car just got rejected.
00:42:00What did you do?
00:42:01Sarah, I'm busy.
00:42:03Busy?
00:42:04I'm trying to buy something.
00:42:06And the payment failed.
00:42:08Do you know how humiliating that is?
00:42:11The company is dying.
00:42:12And you're shopping?
00:42:13What does your company have to do with me?
00:42:15You promised me the best life.
00:42:18I need to stop the bleeding.
00:42:19Every non-essential expense is frozen.
00:42:22Non-essential?
00:42:23You froze my card?
00:42:25Every authorized card, done.
00:42:30Authorized cards?
00:42:31Evan, you hung up on me!
00:42:34You're broke!
00:42:38Douglas completed the debt transfer.
00:42:41As expected.
00:42:43Sterling's cash flow, six weeks max.
00:42:46Then, when do you close the net?
00:42:49Wait.
00:42:50Wait?
00:42:51A man cornered will grab anything in reach.
00:42:54I want him to wait until he shows the biggest crack.
00:42:58Do you hate him?
00:43:01Hate?
00:43:02A waste of time.
00:43:04I'm only taking back what was mine.
00:43:09Then, to the future master of Sterling Glee.
00:43:20Welcome to the panel.
00:43:22We have heavyweight guests today.
00:43:24Mr. Royce, Mr. Davis, Mr. Kim,
00:43:27and the most talked about name on the street,
00:43:29Ms. Claire Hayes.
00:43:31On risk management, in my view,
00:43:33some people's success is built on aggressive leverage and luck.
00:43:37It doesn't hold up under scrutiny.
00:43:39Royce, who exactly are you describing?
00:43:41It wouldn't happen to be the phantom analyst.
00:43:44Ms. Hayes, nothing personal.
00:43:47But your past plays.
00:43:49Novotec, for example,
00:43:50were essentially a bet on a tail-end probability event.
00:43:54Statistically, that's called survivorship bias.
00:43:58And your oceanic freight trade.
00:43:59Technically, that stock was already deeply oversold.
00:44:03Your entry timing, let's be honest,
00:44:06looks like a stroke of genius rationalized after the fact.
00:44:10Ms. Hayes, would you like to respond?
00:44:14The market will speak for itself.
00:44:18See? Nothing to say.
00:44:20Some people coast on luck once and dine out on it forever.
00:44:24Truthfully, I studied her early Hayes capital trade history.
00:44:28Risk management is cruel.
00:44:30In our Asian regulatory environment,
00:44:32most of those positions wouldn't pass compliance.
00:44:35Looks like she really has lost her edge.
00:44:39Obsidian's just Williams backing.
00:44:41She's a figurehead.
00:44:42Thank you all for the colorful insights.
00:44:45Let's move to the next topic.
00:44:51Hit by supply chain failure and credit crisis,
00:44:54Sterling Group announced today large-scale layoffs.
00:44:57The stock plunged to a historic low.
00:44:59It's done.
00:45:00Evan is finished for good.
00:45:01Cash flow dried up.
00:45:03Clients fleeing.
00:45:04Layoff panic.
00:45:06He can't hold on for many more days.
00:45:07No.
00:45:08This is just the beginning.
00:45:10Beginning?
00:45:11Claire.
00:45:13He's out of options.
00:45:16You don't know, Evan.
00:45:18He doesn't care about money.
00:45:19He cares about the Sterling name.
00:45:22You mean, he'd sell the company to the devil
00:45:24before letting it die in his hands.
00:45:26He'll find a merger partner,
00:45:28even if it's just to keep an empty shell standing.
00:45:30A merger?
00:45:31Then everything we did before, was it for nothing?
00:45:34Which is why we don't give him that chance.
00:45:37Before he finds a buyer, we become the buyer.
00:45:41The buyer?
00:45:43You mean acquire Sterling?
00:45:46That's insane!
00:45:47We're short sailors, not M&A.
00:45:48That requires astronomical capital.
00:45:50Which is why I need to see Mr. Right.
00:45:59Three months ago, Sterling Group market cap $12 billion.
00:46:03Core assets, Kennington Pharma Equity,
00:46:05Manhattan Real Estate Patent Portfolio,
00:46:08book value $8 billion.
00:46:09But the market priced it at $12 billion
00:46:12because Evan packaged the group
00:46:13as a high-growth tech conglomerate.
00:46:15I shorted the supply chain.
00:46:17Not to destroy the company.
00:46:19I did it to strip out the bubble,
00:46:21let the market see real value,
00:46:23over the past two months,
00:46:25through three offshore SPUs,
00:46:27you quietly accumulated 18% of Sterling's float
00:46:30on the secondary market.
00:46:31But Evan and his father's trust hold 42%,
00:46:34plus a few small shareholders over 51%.
00:46:37A frontal acquisition, we lose.
00:46:39So I don't buy the equity.
00:46:41I buy the debt.
00:46:42When Sterling's bonds crash to 30 cents on the dollar,
00:46:45we use offshore funds to scoop them up.
00:46:48The debt agreements have a cross-default clause.
00:46:50Once Sterling's rating gets cut,
00:46:52bondholders can demand early redemption or conversion.
00:46:55Debt to equity conversion?
00:46:56Yes.
00:46:57The convertible set the strike at $45 per share.
00:47:00Stock's already at $38.
00:47:02Once cross-default triggers,
00:47:04we force conversion at market
00:47:0640% cheaper than buying equity outright.
00:47:08I thought you wanted him bankrupt.
00:47:12Can't wait that long.
00:47:13He'll find someone to merge with.
00:47:15I won't let my prey die in someone else's teeth.
00:47:23So you're swallowing the entire Sterling group?
00:47:26The debt is enough.
00:47:27Debt is cheaper than equity
00:47:29and comes with conversion rights.
00:47:31When I hold 51% of the convertibles,
00:47:34I can force conversion.
00:47:36Dilute Evan's equity into nothing.
00:47:39Your appetite, bigger than I thought.
00:47:42I need money.
00:47:44How much?
00:47:47All of it.
00:47:49Every dollar in the offshore trust.
00:47:59Claire, you understand what this means.
00:48:02I do.
00:48:03It's a high-stakes bet.
00:48:05You're putting up everything you have.
00:48:07I'm putting up the entirety of Obsidian Capital.
00:48:10If we lose,
00:48:11we both vanish from Wall Street.
00:48:14I won't fail.
00:48:16I won't fail.
00:48:21Daniel,
00:48:23activate full Series B funding.
00:48:25Got it.
00:48:31Sir, we contacted seven companies
00:48:33open to a merger.
00:48:35Result?
00:48:37Five turned us down outright.
00:48:39They said Sterling's debt risk is too high.
00:48:42And the other two?
00:48:44They want to see our true books.
00:48:46Show them?
00:48:46Let them see!
00:48:48But, sir, once our real leverage ratio goes public,
00:48:50they'll bolt instantly.
00:48:51I told you to show them!
00:48:53Now, move!
00:48:57Evan!
00:48:58I'm busy.
00:48:59My Vogue cover got canceled.
00:49:02They said Sterling's image is no longer fit
00:49:04to appear in their magazine.
00:49:06A cover?
00:49:07I gave up the Milan deal for you.
00:49:09I bet everything on you,
00:49:10and now you tell me I have nothing?
00:49:12Your company is collapsing,
00:49:13and you're crying about a glossy magazine?
00:49:15What does your company have to do with me?
00:49:16You promised me a life, my money!
00:49:18Out.
00:49:20You're telling me to leave?
00:49:21Evan, you son of a bitch!
00:49:46I know things.
00:49:47Evan Sterling is killing himself to keep buried.
00:50:03Who are you?
00:50:04How do you know all this?
00:50:22Evan, you cut my card off first!
00:50:31Evan and his father's trust fund,
00:50:33together they hold 42%.
00:50:34He has absolute control.
00:50:36Plus, the small Serpanders he pulled in,
00:50:38they already crossed 51%.
00:50:39Even if we mop up every share on the market,
00:50:41we can't control.
00:50:42Wait.
00:50:43Claire, what about the 18% Mr. Wright
00:50:45accumulated through the SPEs?
00:50:47Already counted.
00:50:4842% plus small car holders,
00:50:49they control 53%.
00:50:51We hold 37%.
00:50:5210% of the float sits with retail and hedge funds.
00:50:55So, we still need to buy the float?
00:50:57No.
00:50:58We buy bonds.
00:50:59Sterling's credit rating gets cut.
00:51:01Bonds crash to junk price.
00:51:02We scoop them up with offshore capital.
00:51:04Cross to vault clause in the debt agreement.
00:51:06Once triggered,
00:51:07we forced debt to equity at market rate.
00:51:08Half the cost of buying equity direct.
00:51:10So, you've been shorting the supply chain
00:51:13to force their credit rating down?
00:51:16Only figured that out now.
00:51:18But unless we can void his shares,
00:51:20this whole acquisition
00:51:21is dumping money into a black hole.
00:51:26Eleanor Steele?
00:51:27Evan's mother?
00:51:28I pulled the records.
00:51:30She divorced Evan's father years ago.
00:51:31She hasn't touched a single group matter.
00:51:33Yes.
00:51:34What a heartless father
00:51:35and a bad tree bears bad fruit.
00:51:39Evan's father cheated and filed for divorce.
00:51:41In the property dispute court,
00:51:43Evan stood up beside his father
00:51:44and lied under oath.
00:51:46Perjury?
00:51:47Against his own mother for money?
00:51:48Eleanor lost.
00:51:49She was thrown out of the Sterling household.
00:51:51She kept exactly one thing.
00:51:52A Sterling family trust.
00:51:54Legally protected.
00:51:55She can't sell it,
00:51:56but she holds full voting rights
00:51:58on that 19th year.
00:51:58So, her relationship with Evan?
00:52:00Did you have a good relationship
00:52:01with the son who personally sent you to hell?
00:52:03You want to win her over?
00:52:04But, would she trust us?
00:52:07I don't need her to trust us.
00:52:09Permanent walls in this world.
00:52:10Only permanent interests
00:52:11and permanent hatred.
00:52:14Get the car ready.
00:52:15Connecticut.
00:52:16And, confirm Victor's status.
00:52:18He sent his last document three days ago.
00:52:20After that, he went dark.
00:52:23And Sarah?
00:52:25She received the USB,
00:52:26but she bought a ticket to Milan.
00:52:28Flight tomorrow morning.
00:52:30Coward.
00:52:31Let her run.
00:52:32The USB has enough to make Evan choke.
00:52:36Not enough to kill him.
00:52:37Not enough to kill?
00:52:38But, Victor got the evidence three years ago.
00:52:41Why hold it until now?
00:52:42Because he was waiting for timing.
00:52:44Evan's empire is collapsing.
00:52:46His allies are running.
00:52:47His credibility?
00:52:48Zero.
00:52:49The lethal evidence is in Eleanor's hands.
00:52:51When Evan's father cheated,
00:52:52she copied every document.
00:52:54Including the forged diagnosis letter
00:52:55personally signed by Evan
00:52:56that sent his mother to a psychiatric hospital.
00:53:12Claire.
00:53:13Forbes' newest cover face.
00:53:17Someone who couldn't keep her own company name.
00:53:20What makes you think you can win?
00:53:22Come in.
00:53:27Burn it to ash?
00:53:28Too kind for him.
00:53:30I was married to his father for 30 years.
00:53:34I helped him grow from a small-time trader
00:53:36into Sterling Group.
00:53:38Then, he found a younger body.
00:53:40He wanted a divorce.
00:53:41And wanted me out with nothing.
00:53:44I know.
00:53:44You don't know.
00:53:46You don't know that in court,
00:53:47my son, Evan, stood up and testified
00:53:50that I was mentally unstable.
00:53:51A spendidist.
00:53:53He personally walked me out of the Sterling Gate
00:53:55so he could get a bigger share of his father's estate.
00:53:59He got what he wanted.
00:54:02Yes.
00:54:03He did.
00:54:07The day the divorce finalized,
00:54:09he didn't even come to see me.
00:54:11He just sent his assistant with a message
00:54:12wishing me good luck for the future.
00:54:14The 19% in the Sterling family trust
00:54:16is the only thing he could never take from me.
00:54:19The agreement?
00:54:26Let him learn
00:54:27what it feels like to be abandoned
00:54:29by your own blood.
00:54:43Sir, bad, bad news.
00:54:46What now?
00:54:47Did the sky fall?
00:54:48It fell.
00:54:50The shares.
00:54:51The 19% family trust shares have been transferred.
00:54:55What did you say?
00:54:57Transferred?
00:54:58Who would dare?
00:55:00Obsidian capital.
00:55:01The trustee.
00:55:02The trustee.
00:55:03Who?
00:55:06Lady Eleanor.
00:55:07She signed the voting rights proxy.
00:55:13No.
00:55:15Impossible.
00:55:17She's my mother.
00:55:19She wouldn't do this to me.
00:55:3451%.
00:55:35Game over.
00:55:36Evan.
00:55:42Clear.
00:55:43We did it.
00:55:4451%.
00:55:47Sterling group is ours.
00:55:50I want to see Evan's face right now.
00:55:53He must be losing his mind.
00:55:54Holding the stock isn't holding control.
00:55:57What?
00:55:58But we're the largest shareholder now.
00:56:00He's still CEO.
00:56:02The board is still his.
00:56:04Claire, Sterling just sent this over.
00:56:06Emergency board meeting notice.
00:56:08Emergency meeting?
00:56:09Looks like he still won't admit defeat.
00:56:12What's their plan?
00:56:12A last stand?
00:56:14Perfect.
00:56:14Daniel, prepare a motion to remove the CEO.
00:56:18Now?
00:56:19Yes.
00:56:20Now.
00:56:23I want him to taste what it feels like to be thrown out of the Empire.
00:56:31He built with his own hands.
00:56:45You?
00:56:46What do you want from me?
00:56:50The original Evan.
00:56:52What is this?
00:56:52You're messing with me?
00:56:53The original evidence of Evan's falsified accounts from three years ago.
00:57:01Who sent you?
00:57:02Why give me this?
00:57:03A friend.
00:57:04She said he might need a way out.
00:57:08Wait!
00:57:10The Sterling ship is sinking.
00:57:12You can grab a lifeboat or drown with the Captain.
00:57:15Your choice, Miss Black.
00:57:31What are you doing here?
00:57:32This is Sterling's board.
00:57:34Security!
00:57:35Evan, I'm the largest shareholder.
00:57:37Why can't I be here?
00:57:4451%?
00:57:46Impossible!
00:57:47A forged document and you think you can scare us?
00:57:49Claire, you're naive.
00:57:49Forged or not, the SEC filing will tell you.
00:57:52Right now, I'm here for the board meeting.
00:57:54As largest shareholder, I move to remove Mr. Sterling as CEO.
00:57:58Remove me?
00:58:00Claire, have you lost your mind?
00:58:02I built this company.
00:58:03Right!
00:58:04Without Evan, there is no Sterling Group.
00:58:06I oppose!
00:58:07On behalf of Obsidian Capital, holding 51% of Sterling equity, I vote in favor of removal.
00:58:12Now, your turn to vote.
00:58:14Stay on a sinking ship or take the lifeboat that gets you to shore.
00:58:17Evan, the quarterly losses are already.
00:58:20Obsidian's firepower is no secret.
00:58:21I vote yet.
00:58:24You!
00:58:25Every one of you!
00:58:27Backstabbing traitors!
00:58:30Three votes in favor.
00:58:31One against.
00:58:32Motion passes.
00:58:35Mr. Sterling, you're fired.
00:58:37You wouldn't dare!
00:58:38I do dare.
00:58:40And now, get out of my conference room.
00:58:49All right.
00:58:50The obstacle's gone.
00:58:51Meeting continues.
00:59:01Mr. Sterling!
00:59:02Is it true your own ex-fiance removed you from your own company?
00:59:06Are you no longer Sterling Group CEO?
00:59:08Will Sterling Group file for bankruptcy?
00:59:13Get away from me!
00:59:15Get away from me!
00:59:16All of you, back off!
00:59:30Next step, liquidate every bad asset.
00:59:33Leave nothing?
00:59:34I said I wanted his company.
00:59:37I never said I wanted a wreck.
00:59:45Wall Street Witnesses' history, yesterday's cast-off rife, Claire Hayes,
00:59:49officially takes the helm of Sterling Group as partner of Obsidian Capital.
00:59:58Get out!
00:59:59All of it!
01:00:01All of it!
01:00:01Get out!
01:00:06Leaving?
01:00:08Not so fast.
01:00:10Your authorized cards?
01:00:12I canceled all of them.
01:00:15Apartment access?
01:00:17Apartment access?
01:00:17Or vaped?
01:00:18Your things.
01:00:19I had someone organize them.
01:00:21Including that USB stick in your makeup case.
01:00:31How dare you!
01:00:32That was mine!
01:00:33Yours?
01:00:34Sarah, nothing in this apartment is yours.
01:00:38Victor.
01:00:43Miss Black.
01:00:44This way, please.
01:00:53Makeup case.
01:00:54The bottom.
01:01:02Victor.
01:01:04You old fox.
01:01:20Victor.
01:01:21Victor.
01:01:22Victor.
01:01:24Victor.
01:01:29Craig, get me security.
01:01:32Someone stole from me.
01:01:50Victor Ramez, you're suspected of theft of employer trade secrets and conversion of private property.
01:01:56Please step out and cooperate.
01:02:02Finally.
01:02:06Ms. Hayes, the rest is on you.
01:02:18Claire! Shipping index just collapsed. Our shorts!
01:02:25Not just that. Commodity CSS sprays blew out 300 basis points overnight.
01:02:32Every CS contract we set up, deep green across the board!
01:02:39Claire, look at this.
01:02:44They bet the wrong way.
01:02:46I called the shipping index structural collapse three months ago.
01:02:51But those guys at the panel, they mocked you. Called it luck.
01:02:55Luck? I'm betting on human nature. The moment everyone thinks shipping can't keep falling, that's when it falls. All the
01:03:03way until they're blown out.
01:03:06Yes. Okay. Claire. It's Royce. He wants to take you to dinner.
01:03:13No time.
01:03:13He says he wants to discuss the possibility of collaboration.
01:03:18Tell him. I don't partner with people who don't understand risk management.
01:03:29Claire.
01:03:30Claire. Speak.
01:03:31Sarah just called.
01:03:32Oh?
01:03:33She says she's got something you might want.
01:03:37What does she want?
01:03:38A meeting.
01:03:40She says she has every original document of Evan's fall fight accounts from three years ago.
01:03:45Victor.
01:03:46Good work.
01:03:48And her timing can be back on you.
01:03:51Want me to refuse?
01:03:54No.
01:03:55Tell her tomorrow morning, 10 a.m. here.
01:03:58And, Daniel.
01:03:59Yes.
01:04:01Prepare the strictest NDA on file and a wire transfer authorization at maximum limit.
01:04:06Time to lock Evan's fate.
01:04:08The good.
01:04:20Seventeen minutes late.
01:04:21Security stopped you downstairs.
01:04:24Evan.
01:04:24He killed my cards.
01:04:26Killed my access.
01:04:28He found the USB.
01:04:29So you didn't come here to sell evidence.
01:04:32You came begging.
01:04:34The USB?
01:04:35Here.
01:04:36But this isn't the one Victor gave me.
01:04:39Evan took that one.
01:04:40This is...
01:04:41Victor slipped me this one.
01:04:43A backup.
01:04:48Victor.
01:04:49Meticulous as ever.
01:04:50The moment he handed me $20 and a contact, I knew.
01:04:55He'd be the best move on the board.
01:04:57You knew back then?
01:04:59Back then, I just wanted a back door.
01:05:01Didn't expect.
01:05:02The door would become a bridge.
01:05:03And the bridge would lead straight into your makeup case.
01:05:07$500,000.
01:05:08Sign the NDA.
01:05:09Leave New York.
01:05:10Never come back.
01:05:11$500,000!
01:05:12What's on this?
01:05:13USB sends him to prison for 10 years!
01:05:15The USB doesn't send him to prison.
01:05:17The witness on the stand does.
01:05:19Victor is in New Jersey custody.
01:05:22Evan filed theft charges.
01:05:23Bail, half a million.
01:05:25His testimony, we secured via attorney deposition two weeks ago.
01:05:30Your NDA covers trade information only.
01:05:33Not obligation to testify in judicial proceedings.
01:05:35If the prosecutors find you, you can and must say everything in court.
01:05:39But that part is free.
01:05:40Right now, half a million buys your silence, buys your departure, buys you out of my sight.
01:05:44Until the court calls you.
01:05:47You.
01:05:48You had this all planned.
01:05:50Made me grab the USB.
01:05:51Made Evan find out.
01:05:53Made him throw me out so I'd have nowhere to go but here.
01:05:56You opened the safe yourself, Sarah.
01:05:58I just knew you would.
01:06:00Take her.
01:06:01Airport.
01:06:01Watch her board.
01:06:02Thank you, old friend.
01:06:17Claire, she's gone.
01:06:19Gate confirmed.
01:06:20Milan flight.
01:06:21Send everything on the USB to the DAA's office.
01:06:23Anonymous?
01:06:24No.
01:06:25Use the Obsidian Capital legal email.
01:06:27I want Evan to know exactly who buried him.
01:06:31Understood.
01:06:32And leak the core evidence anonymously to the Wall Street Journal.
01:06:37I want the whole world to see Sterling's shining tower has been rotten at the foundation all
01:06:43along.
01:06:44Evan's end has arrived.
01:06:48Mrs. Hayes, before you submit evidence, we need to confirm a few things.
01:06:55Your relationship with Evan Sterling.
01:06:58Former fiance.
01:07:00Relationship terminated.
01:07:01No formal property division.
01:07:10Request emergency TRO.
01:07:12Target.
01:07:13Evan Sterling.
01:07:14Basis.
01:07:14Third party investigation and whistleblower statement.
01:07:18TTR filed with federal court in two hours.
01:07:21Accounts frozen.
01:07:23Hearing in 72 hours.
01:07:24Freeze persists through formal indictment.
01:07:27Total 90 to 180 days.
01:07:29I'm not expecting an instant result.
01:07:31I'm waiting.
01:07:33I'm requesting confidentiality on my whistleblower identity.
01:07:36A named complaint will appear in court records, but we can file a protect and order, limit media
01:07:43access to evidence, seal the testimony details.
01:07:49The defense will attack you on the ex-fiancé angle and your short positions.
01:07:54They'll frame it as commercial retaliation.
01:07:56Let them.
01:07:57Motive doesn't cancel out fact.
01:07:59Fact is the only currency that matters in court.
01:08:07Out!
01:08:13Mr. Evan Sterling, U.S. Marshals, court documents.
01:08:21T.R., what does that mean?
01:08:23Federal court emergency asset restraining order.
01:08:25Effective 10 p.m. tonight.
01:08:27All your accounts and real estate transactions are frozen.
01:08:29Hearing in 72 hours.
01:08:31Subpoena.
01:08:34Clear!
01:08:35It's her!
01:08:39Evan, SEC filed the T.R.R., 72-hour hearing, mandatory attendance.
01:08:43If probable cause is found, freeze extends 90 days.
01:08:4790 days?
01:08:48She wants to bleed me dry.
01:08:57Your Honor, based on an independent third-party investigation commissioned by Obsidian Capital,
01:09:02Sterling Group has engaged in systematic financial fraud, including offshore trust fund
01:09:06transfers.
01:09:07We request continued asset freeze through grand jury proceedings.
01:09:10Objection!
01:09:11The investigation report was commissioned by Obsidian Capital, whose managing partner,
01:09:16Claire Hayes, is the defendant's ex-fiancé.
01:09:19Conflict of interest.
01:09:20Conflict of interest.
01:09:21We move to exclude this evidence and lift the freeze.
01:09:24On the conflict of interest...
01:09:26Counselor?
01:09:27The investigation was performed by an independent third party.
01:09:30The investigation was performed by an independent third party.
01:09:30Obsidian Capital provided funding only.
01:09:32The methodology and source data, entirely public record, fully compatible with federal
01:09:37rules of evidence.
01:09:38Whistleblower...
01:09:39The whistleblower's identity is unrelimated to the evidence's reliability.
01:09:43The defense may cross-examine the whistleblower's motive, but cannot exclude an independent investigation.
01:09:49Mr. Sterling, do you acknowledge that during the relationship, you had your then-fiancé sign offshore
01:09:54account disclosure forms?
01:09:56Evan, answer.
01:09:57Yes.
01:09:58But she didn't know.
01:10:00TRR converts to preliminary injunction.
01:10:03Asset freeze continues through grand jury proceedings or formal indictment.
01:10:07Hearing transcripts sealed.
01:10:08No media access.
01:10:14Clear!
01:10:16Are you happy now?
01:10:19Are you happy now?
01:10:22Clear!
01:10:23Are you happy now?
01:10:24Are you happy now?!
01:10:25Clear!
01:10:27Clear!
01:10:31Clear!
01:10:36Have you found it!
01:10:37Sierra Blake, the U.S. Attorney's Office needs you to assist with an investigation.
01:10:41But you can't refuse the summons. Come along.
01:10:44Ms. Sarah Black, you are suspected of participation in Evan Sterling's securities fraud,
01:10:49signing fraudulent documents and assisting fund transfers.
01:10:52If you plead guilty, you face three to five years.
01:10:56I just signed. I didn't know they were fake.
01:10:59Unless you agree to become a cooperating witness against Evan Sterling.
01:11:02Unless your testimony requires third-party corroboration.
01:11:04Claire, you knew this all along?
01:11:07Ms. Claire Hayes' submitted evidence shows you signed several of these documents.
01:11:10But she also provided a memo, pointing out that your signatures and Evan's forgeries of your signature show distinct differences,
01:11:16suggesting that you were possibly used without your knowledge.
01:11:18She's protecting me?
01:11:19She's protecting the integrity of the chain of evidence.
01:11:22A coerced witness is more valuable than an accomplice.
01:11:28What am I supposed to say on TV?
01:11:30The truth. How Evan used you. How he had you sign documents.
01:11:34And how you were forced to sell evidence to Ms. Claire Hayes in exchange for the chance to leave New
01:11:42York.
01:11:45Forced. Yes. I was forced.
01:11:54Mr. Sterling, what's your response to the falsified accounts allegations?
01:11:58Is it true your assets are all frozen?
01:12:00No comment. Step aside. No interview.
01:12:03Mr. Sterling, take a look at this.
01:12:05I'm just a model. I don't understand finance.
01:12:07He used my love for him to make me sign a lot of documents.
01:12:10I was completely in the dark. I'm a victim too.
01:12:12Ms. Black has publicly accused you and turned cooperating witness.
01:12:15Yes, what's your response?
01:12:16No!
01:12:17It's impossible, that bitch!
01:12:27I want to sue her.
01:12:29Defamation!
01:12:30Evan, it's pointless.
01:12:32What do you mean, pointless?
01:12:34She betrayed me!
01:12:37Every account we have, including all your offshore trusts, frozen.
01:12:42How could everything...
01:12:44Sarah, she handed every ledger over, top to bottom.
01:12:47She's the prosecution's star witness now.
01:12:51We have no chance.
01:12:54No chance.
01:13:04He's done.
01:13:06Not enough.
01:13:07Oh?
01:13:10One step left.
01:13:12What?
01:13:14I want him, with nothing left, to watch me climb onto the throne that used to be his.
01:13:24Claire.
01:13:27Speak.
01:13:29Victor.
01:13:31He's out on bail.
01:13:34Bail amount?
01:13:35Anonymous payer covered the full half million.
01:13:37New Jersey custody released him at 9 a.m.
01:13:39Lawyer just confirmed he's on his way.
01:13:42It wasn't me.
01:13:43Not you.
01:13:43An anonymous donor.
01:13:44But we've traced the funds.
01:13:45They came from Eleanor Sterling's trust.
01:13:47That old lady has fangs sharper than mine.
01:13:57Miss Hayes.
01:14:01Victor.
01:14:02You've lost weight.
01:14:07Mrs. Hayes?
01:14:09Twenty dollars.
01:14:10I'm paying you back.
01:14:12But not in dollars.
01:14:13I still owe you.
01:14:15Tonight's show, that's interest.
01:14:17The principal, you become Phoenix Capital's special advisor.
01:14:24Mrs. Hayes.
01:14:26I'm only a butler.
01:14:28You're the most loyal man I've ever met.
01:14:30That's enough.
01:14:32Mr. Reyes.
01:14:33Your offer letter.
01:14:35Annual salary.
01:14:36Blank.
01:14:37Fill it in yourself.
01:14:44Can I write twenty dollars?
01:14:47No.
01:14:48Inflation.
01:14:49Minimum two hundred grand.
01:14:56As you wish, Mrs. Hayes.
01:15:06Phoenix Capital.
01:15:08Phoenix Rising.
01:15:09Nice name.
01:15:11No.
01:15:12The dust just settled.
01:15:20He'll come find you.
01:15:23I know.
01:15:29Claire, first week numbers are in.
01:15:34Profit beat by fifteen percent.
01:15:37Market responses is incredible.
01:15:39Too slow.
01:15:40What?
01:15:40I want Kentington Pharma's debt restructuring plan on my desk before market open tomorrow.
01:15:45But no buts.
01:15:49Claire.
01:15:50Speak.
01:15:51Mr. Evan Sterling is here.
01:15:53No appointment.
01:15:54He's at reception.
01:15:58Finally.
01:16:00Send him up.
01:16:05Yes.
01:16:14Claire.
01:16:20I lost.
01:16:22I lost everything.
01:16:27The company.
01:16:28Gone.
01:16:28The money.
01:16:29Gone.
01:16:30Everyone walked away.
01:16:32So you came here to beg?
01:16:33Please.
01:16:33Tell the prosecutor I was framed.
01:16:36Those forged accounts.
01:16:37The CFO did it.
01:16:38I didn't know.
01:16:38Evan.
01:16:39You know what's funniest of all?
01:16:42You're still lying.
01:16:43Even now.
01:16:46Your signature page.
01:16:47Swiss Offshore Trust.
01:16:49March 15, 2019.
01:16:50You signed it yourself.
01:16:52The forged psychiatric diagnation that committed your mother.
01:16:55Your father's name but your handwriting.
01:16:57Victor's testimony.
01:16:59Ten years serving you.
01:17:01He knows what you did in that study every night.
01:17:07Claire.
01:17:10For the sake of what we were.
01:17:12What we were?
01:17:14Evan.
01:17:14I'm not here to negotiate.
01:17:16I'm here to inform.
01:17:17The DA files formal charges tomorrow.
01:17:20Securities fraud.
01:17:21Money laundering.
01:17:22Forging medical documents.
01:17:24Embezzlement.
01:17:24Estimated sentence.
01:17:2684 months.
01:17:27Refuse to cooperate.
01:17:2884 months becomes the price for keeping the lie.
01:17:31What do you want?
01:17:32You want me to plead guilty?
01:17:34I want you in court to say out loud exactly how you threw me out that rainy night three years
01:17:41ago.
01:17:42How you froze my accounts.
01:17:43How you got the entire street to blacklist me.
01:17:45I want the entire world to hear that Evan Sterling didn't lose to the market.
01:17:50He lost his wife.
01:17:52I stood outside that door for an entire night.
01:17:57You told me to get out.
01:17:59I said I would never set foot through that door again.
01:18:02Please.
01:18:03For the love we had.
01:18:04Spare me.
01:18:05I'm begging you.
01:18:07Daniel.
01:18:11You show him out.
01:18:14Mr. Sterling.
01:18:16This way.
01:18:31I belong to no one.
01:18:33I am Claire Hayes.
01:18:36She delivered the year's most precise call and authored a Wall Street legend.
01:18:43Hedge fund manager of the year goes to Claire Hayes.
01:18:56A year ago, I had nothing.
01:18:59Someone told me I would never stand on this stage.
01:19:03They can take your house.
01:19:05They can take your money.
01:19:08But they can't take what's in your head.
01:19:10This award doesn't belong only to me.
01:19:13It belongs to every person who was underestimated, discarded, stepped on, and still chose to stand back up.
01:19:20Because we have the right to redefine ourselves.
01:19:35Congratulations, manager of the year.
01:19:39Just a title.
01:19:41I remember the first time I saw you.
01:19:44$2,000.
01:19:45$10,000, 10 times leverage, short Novatec.
01:19:50Everyone thought you were crazy.
01:19:52But your eyes, there was no madness in them.
01:19:55Only absolute calm.
01:19:56I knew right then, you're a phoenix.
01:19:58All you needed was a spark.
01:20:00So you gave me that spark.
01:20:01I just lit the fuse.
01:20:03The one who burned all of Wall Street into a firework show was you.
01:20:08I waited a long time, Claire.
01:20:10For you to finish your war.
01:20:13Now, the war is over.
01:20:15Us.
01:20:16And from this moment on, we build the next one.
01:20:20Together.
01:20:22Together.
01:20:33Wherebear the defendant, Evan Stirring, has been found guilty of multiple counts, including securities fraud and providing false financial reports.
01:20:42With severe impact on market integrity, this court hereby enters its judgment.
01:20:51The defendant, Evan Stirring, is sentenced to 42 months of imprisonment, effective immediately.
01:21:08This isn't some Wall Street fairy tale.
01:21:15It's just me, taking back what was always mine.
01:21:21Claire, first quarter dividends are calculated.
01:21:24Eleanor's share, ready?
01:21:25Ready.
01:21:26Quarterly distribution on the 19% pledged yield rights at 8% annual, $600,000 this quarter.
01:21:32Her shares, still in trust?
01:21:34Yes.
01:21:34Ownership and voting rights still belong to Eleanor Stirring.
01:21:37Phoenix only holds a pledge on the yield until the debt restructuring is complete.
01:21:40Restructuring progress?
01:21:41Sterling's convertibles, fully retired vote.
01:21:43Once complete, the board pledge releases automatically.
01:21:45Eleanor regains full shareholder rights.
01:21:47Tell her this is the beginning, not the end.
01:21:49Understood.
01:21:51One more thing.
01:21:52Evan's sentence.
01:21:5442 months?
01:21:54He took the limited cooperation option, pled guilty to securities fraud and embezzlement, denied forging medical prosecution, accepted.
01:22:0042 months plus a $200 million fine.
01:22:03$200 million?
01:22:04His offshore trust, is it enough to cover?
01:22:07Not enough.
01:22:08The shortfall Phoenix Capital covers as a strategic investor.
01:22:11On condition that when he's released, for five years he is barred from finance.
01:22:15Cannot hold equity in any public company.
01:22:17I don't want his money.
01:22:19I want his life, his financial life.
01:22:28It's over.
01:22:29No.
01:22:30It's a new beginning.
01:22:31What is happening?
01:22:33$200 million?
01:22:39Buyer's pastimmt claimant.
01:22:40I've caught you in.
