Devils (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

If you talk about 30, 40 years,
then... Who knows?

If you're talking about about ten years,
I think that it won't change very much.

Good morning. Mr. Strauss-Kahn
speech will confront head on the problems

that have decept the financial industry
since the meltdown in 2008.

The speech is not expect
to be popular. Conservative politicians

and many in the finance don't want the kind of change
that the IMF director has expected to propose.

I rise before the sun and
I stare into the darkness.

My body has been sleepy, but my mind has not.

Although I cannot see the devil's face,
I know he can see mine.

I can't hide.

Game.
Lets replay the point.



What are you talking about?
I don't like to win that way.

Have I taught you nothing? Nobody cares how you win.
Besides, I'll kick your ass next time.

Your mind wasn't on the game.

Nina has taken Ed's suicide very hard.
You know how close she is to Claire and the kids.

Claire didn't see this coming.

Did anybody? I guess you never know
what demons were torturing him.

Maybe it was because of the shame
of falsifying those records profits.

What did you say?
All this time I thought it was us in trading who made big money

covering for all the loss in Ed's department.

You know what? I know you're upset,
but keep your suspicions to yourself.

And keep them private.

It is interesting to watch how the dollar
is affecting everything so differently.

How's Carrie?
The doctors have induces a coma.

I'm sorry. Truly. I wish you
would have told me she was back.



I could have managed the news
with the board before they found out.

They don't want me, the other guy
is dead and I still don't get it.

We've been through this.
Tell me you'll stay.

I owe you my career Dominic, you know that.

But if I can't be vice-CEO
Not now. That's all. Not yet.

I have to fly to Washington.
Let's talk about this when I get back.

Black Ship Investments.
Li Acheng, please.

One moment.

I'm sorry, Mr. Acheng is busy at the moment.

I know he's busy, tell him Massimo Ruggero called.

Yes, mr. Ruggero. Thank you.

You used me. And one of your
colleague killed himself as a result.

What are you talking about?

Edward Stuart jumped to his death the day
that Davenport story went viral. A story you gave us.

Listen to me. Listen to me!

The board still promoted him to vice-CEO,
so that story has nothing to do with his death.

So why did he jump?

Ask his shrink.
I barely knew the guy.

Do you know anyone at The Guardian?
I might.

Good. Get in touch for me.
Get in touch for yourself

You and your anarchist friends
want dirt on the evil bank, don't you?

Why would you leak
informations about your own bank?

Let me know.

Do you think they'll talk to us about Davenport?
Why not shout a little louder so that anyone can hear?

As part of their investigation

the police will want to speak to some
of you about the tragic event.

I know it's still raw for everyone,
but be nice.

Chris is eyeing up Ed's office already.
Kate?

What did Dominic say?
Not much.

He's stalling.
The longer I stay, the weaker I look.

We wish you could take us with you
I'm planning on it, Paul.

We can't, we have non compete clauses.
I'll take care of it.

If you are all with me.
Of course we are.

Good. Thank you. Get back to work.

People are saying Ed killed himself
because of Davenport. Because the shit we did.

It wasn't exactly above board FCA friendly shit, was it?
Who made him drop 50 million...

It's not about that.

The bank's been covering his losses
all year calling them record profits.

Did you read the papers?
So what tip him over the edge?

I don't know Kalim, let me quickly go
search his office and I'll find out.

You can't, the police is in there.
That was kind of my point.

And if he was hiding something big
why would he keep it on his work computer?

Kalim, stop talking.

Massimo, wouldn't we look
kind of guilty if we left right now?

Like running from the scene of a crime?

All we did was expose a man's
illness that would have eventually come out anyway.

It has become an expensive meeting.
Get back to work.

Dominic?
Hi. I landed, I'm in D.C. now.

How's Claire?

In shock. She keeps bursting into tears.

You are a good friend.
I'm sure this is hard on you.

I know what it is to grief, that's all.

This trip is badly timed. I need your help.
I don't see what I can do.

Massimo trusts you.
Encourage him to confide in me.

So you can manipulate him?
So I can keep him from making a mistake.

Sometimes I almost believe you really care for Massimo.

Of course I do.

You don't really care for anyone, Dominic.
It's beyond your grasp.

Aaron Swartz said "information is power."
But like all power,

there're those who want to keep it for themselves.

Why is it right to encourage the leaking
of secret information?

You need yo ask yourself what sort of information is
important in the world today. What cause disruption?

Think about the length that people
on the inside of certain organizations go to

In order to conceal what they're doing.
These are the new gods. Really.

Who need not to worry themselves
with little things like politics or democracy.

Because they are up here.

They are up here.

They're making their own rules.

Manipulating the social pyramid.

And virtually killing the
future for the next generation.

These are the new gods. Really.

..killing the future for the next generation.

Daniel, we've got to go!
Yeah, I'm coming.

You'll have to be quick.
You are moving on?

I came because I wanted to...
I know. I'm sorry.

Is just that as soon as the
video hits they'll be all over me so..

I'll make it up to you.
What is it?

Massimo Ruggero wants me to put
him in touch with The Guardian.

What's he got?
Dirt on NYL.

He didn't say what kind,
but he made it sound bad.

He'll have to tell us more than that.
He won't. This is his game, not ours.

Why do I get the feeling
you want to help this guy?

Don't be stupid.

Daniel, we got to go!
Yeah, I'm coming.

Crazy, isn't it? This city once
dominated the world.

Get in touch with Hilary Mason, ok?

Dominic said Carrie's in the hospital.
I spent the night at her bedside.

I don't mean to you at worries, but you have to really watch yourself.

Dominic thinks I'm gonna
hit back against the bank.

He wants me to persuade
you to confide in him.

Of course he does.
You know what they could do to you Massimo.

Promise me you won't do anything stupid.

Not in the way he thinks.
I need your help with something.

Espresso, please.
Yes. Sure.

You want coffee?
I'm alright.

What happened?

When professor Wade offered
a chance to work with you

I thought this was the opportunity
I'd be waiting for all my life.

Very good. And now?

I want nothing more to do with you.
Cheating in the exams was one thing.

But making a man kill himself...

I didn't make Ed Stuart kill himself.

I need you to help me prove that I
had nothing to do with his death.

No, I'm done.

Don't want to know why he really died?

I need you to go to this address.

Yes, Dominic Morgan. Thank you.

I heard about Ed. I am so sorry.
Yes, thank you very much Margaret.

So, did you get a hold of his speech?
I just finished reading it.

I think we may have a problem.

Globalization lifted hundreds
of millions of people out of poverty.

But this globalization has a dark-side.
A chasm between rich and poor.

The tendency was to downplay equality.
See what I mean?

To see it as a necessary
evil on the road to riches.

I didn't realized he was
a fucking communist.

We need a new form of globalization
a fairer form of globalization.

A globalization with a more human face.

The monetary system has
rested on the strength of the dollar.

Our idea is to lie on
a basket of currencies.

Combining the dollar, yuan,
yen and above all the euro.

That could guarantee an anchor, both stable
and independent free of the oscillations...

Look at Becker, he's eating it up.
...of the currencies of our very one nation.

Ask yourselves what
kind of world do you want to live in.

Surely one more intelligent.

More just. More virtuous than the old one.

Thank you very much.

They'll let anyone in to these things.

Dominic. You know my colleagues from
Rheinthaler Bank. Nicklaus Lang and Karl Haufman.

Gentlemen, may I steal you?
Yes, of course.

I'm afraid Nina won't be able to join us tomorrow.
She need to stay close to Claire right now.

Of course. We were shocked by the news,
Dominic. Just shocked.

I noticed you were nodding your approval.
Well, you know... He's right.

We've got to clean up the mess we've made.

And the substitute currency
would be good for all of us.

Doesn't it seem a bit.. radical?
Radical?

No more radical than Nixon
dropping the gold standard in '71.

Don't you think?

I'll see you in Frankfurt.

You heard Strauss-Kahn's speech.
What's our exposure on the dollar?

Around 700 million, boss.

Hedge the dollar and buy the euro up to 50%.

Do it carefully over the next 15 days.

Got it.

What else are you up to, Massimo?
To taking care of our future.

Good morning.

Tom, what are you doing in there,
Get out now! Out!

You have to keep the
children out of Ed's study!

Mrs. Stuart?
Oliver. Wait here.

You only have a couple of hours.

You only have a few hours...
Massimo made that clear.

Do you have any luck finding the password?
I guess not.

You better take over
before I kill us all, Jack.

Never thought I'd see this.
The great Massimo Ruggero.

In my plane.
I appreciate your hospitality, Mr. Achang.

But it is unnecessary. Thank you.

I must admit I was surprised
to hear of your interest.

Any bank would fall over
themselves to hire you.

Black Ship is the second largest
hedge fund in the world.

A hedge fund suits me fine.
I expect you'll make it worth my while.

Men reach a point when they have more
money than they can spend.

What they crave then is power.

Who says I'm like other men?

Oliver?
What am I looking for?

I don't know. There must be something
on that.. Something Ed was working on.

I've got to go.

Had your husband been
under any particular stress lately?

Things have been hard since
the crash a couple of years ago.

But it was especially bad
in the past few weeks.

Why especially bad?

My husband was up for a promotion
that he wanted very badly.

Was that because of his rivalry with...

head of trading, Massimo Ruggero?

Partly, I suppose.

It's business.
I watched it eat way out him.

We know this is a difficult time.

What were you doing
at the office that day?

He called me. Asked me to come.

I presumed it was to toast his promotion.

I suppose I'll never know.

Did your husband have a PC
other than the one in his office at work?

Anything that might help us
establish his state of mind.

He has a laptop.

I'll go get it.

We haven't been able to reach out
your husband, mrs. Morgan.

Dominic is on his way from
Washington to Germany.

He should be back tomorrow night.

Mr. Stuart's suicide must have
been a great shock to your husband.

Of course. It was for everyone.

I'm sorry. It should be here.
Maybe he left at in the office.

Why don't you just sit down and I'll find it.

Can you leave a number so we can contact you?

Of course.

Oh no. Come on come on...

Fucking buy, buy!

For fuck's sake! Damn it.

Are you okay?
Yep, fine.

You look like you could use a smoke Paul.
I'm alright, I've too much work to do.

Just one.
Okay.

Talk to me, Paul.

I don't blame Massimo for anything but fuck it now man,

if he's playing games with our jobs...

Massimo has turned us into the
most successful unit at this bank.

Do you think where we'd gonna be without this guy?

Yeah I know that, and I love him, Kalim.

But I can't afford to be
on the fucking scrap. I've got a wife,

I've got two kids to put trough private school.

And plus a bad habit to support.

Massimo has never let us down
You think he's gonna start now?

No.
Exactly.

Let's just keep doing our jobs.
That's all we can do.

Come on, man. Look at you. Exactly!

Fuck off. I'll follow you up.

Good! Okay. Pull!

Let's say best of three, shall we?
Okay.

Pull!
I'm sorry. My turn.

You're gonna lose.
Pull!

Thank you.

I don't think you're here
because my hedge fund suits you.

No.
I think you want revenge on Dominic Morgan.

You're trying to use me to get it.
I need to know how.

I'm gonna make Black Ship the biggest
hedge fund in the world, by bankrupting NYL.

Explain.

I think Ed Stuart killed himself because
he was falsifying the figures.

If I can I prove it,
it'll wipe out the NYL stock.

You're paid in stock. You'll be wiping yourself out too.

Not if my new partner knows
when the news is coming

and I short NYL stocks the night before.

People go to jail for that kind of things.
If they get caught, yes.

You can make 100,
perhaps 200 million over night.

All I'll have to do is commit criminal conspiracy.

And hire you.
And my team, yes.

Dominic Morgan was
like a father to you.

You're betraying him. Why?

You're right Massimo. You're not like other men
I won't hire your team.

They'd make a 1000 times
what they earn in the first year.

One day you may turn on me
like you're turning on Dominic.

if you do, I don't want your team
there to help with the knives in my back.

Come alone or not at all.

Deal?

Don't spill it.
Don't worry.

I've fucking steady hands.
Pull here, babe.

Tell me, how much money you made today.

You talk too much.

Alex! What are we having?

We should talk.
Sure.

Didn't see you down here that much.
What's this? Early bonus?

The girl in the photograph.
She's 16, Paul.

16. The reputational damage
alone warrants instant dismiss.

What? No. Come on man
you know, this is nothing.

But the good news is that there's still a chance
that you could keep the job.

So you've been following me?
All you have to do is keep me abreast of development.

No. I'm not spying on Massimo.

I know how loyal you're to Massimo,
but I've got to ask. How loyal is he to you?

Let me know how it goes, your divorce.
When I show your wife those photographs.

Wait.

The military say that many do consider

their currency as a weapon...

Good morning, you may be in line
for a pay-rise despite of a tough job market...

Always running.

Good morning, mr. Morgan.
Good morning. Thank you.

Dominic! You're early. I can't tell you
how much you being here it means to Kristina.

I'm afraid, I can't stay.
But I wanted to give you this first.

It's for you. Please, open it.

Thank you, but what does it mean?
You see this? "A Pluribus Unum."

"From many, one." It's my country's motto.
We are stronger together.

United under a single currency.
Dominic you haven't come here to discuss currency.

I don't need you to talk. Just listen.

We have a pact, you and me,
and you're going to honor it.

Our pact is a separate matter.
No it is not.

You're threatening me
on the day of my daughter's wedding?

Relax.
I don't know what you think I can do?

I've total faith that you'll work it out.

If you have difficulties,
turn to the dollar for inspiration.

Papa!
Look who's here!

How are you?
Please give my best to your mother.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Have a good night.

Lira for your thoughts.

Good morning.
Good morning.

You're some kind of artist?

Yeah, some kind.

What about you?
Student.

Yes ...!
What?

What are you studying?
Economics.

Okay.

I have got a lecture,so...
Always running.

I guess you get good marks
Top of your class.

Possibly.
Definitely.

Where're you running to?

Come back to bed.

I really should get going.
No, it's alright.

Come back to bed.

You don't have to keep running.

From now on, I'll take care of you.

Okay.

I'm going to stop now.

My turn to take care of you.

You've gotta be shitting me.

Stay here.

Hey.
Did you hack into the computer?

One condition. Please.

Don't turn up here in this thing again.
I don't need the trouble.

Okay.

Couldn't find much but It's all there.
Taking my brother for a ride?

Tyrone, what did I say?
You know what? Get in.

Let me come!
Literary 0 chances. Get inside!

Mr. Ruggero?
Damn, let me be you.

Wait over there.

I expected to have the story by now.

Did you get the reporter?
Hilary Mason.

Okay. Meet me at 7.30.
Okay. Right.

Hey! Where?

I'll text you.
Okay.

Massimo met Li Acheng yesterday.
Job interview, apparently.

Where are we at with Paul?
He's on the no illusions.

Good.

Good morning. I need a
guest pass card for Oliver Harris.

Hey. For you.

Where are we?
Trichet is leaving the meeting whit the ECB.

We are down 50 million.
We're too long on German bonds. We should get out.

Come on.
I don't understand.

If the president of the European Central Bank
says he is raising interest rates

we'll recover our loss and make profits for five years.

And if he lowers them?
We're out 50 million dollars.

Massimo hold?

Ask him.

Are you kidding, right?

What do you say? Will he raise interest
rates or lower them?

Massimo, let's get out, now!

What do you say Oliver?

He's raising them. He's gonna raise the rates.
He's guessing!

Massimo, for real!
Do what Oliver says. We hold.

Thank you, everybody.

I am pleased to say that we will
raise interest rates by 0.1%.

Never a dull moment, huh, Massimo?

Un-fucking-believable.

What made you say he was going to raise them?
It was just the way he walked.

Tense. Like he had something
to say that no one expected.

You read him. Just like
you read Davenport at the restaurant.

I think you might have a
talent for this kind of work. Good job.

Hey.
Hey.

Any news?

I was thinking about Ed Stuart.
What is it?

The contents of Ed's laptop.

Right...

So... what's happening?
What's the big plan?

I'm meeting a reporter from The Guardian.
I'm gonna tell her whatever I find.

Massimo if it shows that Ed
falsified the financial records...

NYL stocks will plummet.
So'll our shares.

We'll still make money.
How?

I just got off the phone with
Li Acheng from Black Ship.

He's shorting NYL as we speak.
You're playing an awfully dangerous game.

Go home guys. Get some sleep.
See you.

I think he's a little bit late. I'm sorry.
Bankers.

Oliver, tell me about the laptop.
There is nothing.

The only thing I could find is the file
with your name on it. Yes bu the file is empty.

Can you tell who erased it?
Maybe. It'll be a little time.

You need to get it back.
Actually I still have it.

Yeah, it's Paul...

Hey!

Ed's computer. There was
something else...

Should I get Paul back?
No it's ok.

Someone logged into Ed's laptop,
two hours after he died.

He deleted a single file.
There was my name on it.

It was called "Massimo Ruggero".

Why would Ed have
a file under your name?

Mr. Vance is here.

Excuse me. It'll be a minute.

Yeah?
Hilary Mason.

From The Guardian. I track her phone
to a pub in Marylebone.

Massimo must have retrieved
something from Edward's laptop.

If this report sees the light of day,
this bank, everything...

You know what I'm saying?

Black Ship Investments.
Li Acheng, please.

Who is calling, please?
Dominic Morgan.

One moment, mr. Morgan.

Dominic.

Li. I understand you've
been talking to Massimo Ruggero.

Mrs. Stuart.
What are you doing here?

I came to offer my condolences.
Flowers would have been fine.

I need to talk to you.

Just five minutes. Please.

I am so sorry about your husband.
You've already said that!

I mean...

So you've come to absolve
your guilty conscience, How noble.

Mrs. Stuart...

Ed and me... we had our differences.

But we both wanted that promotion...
Ed didn't give a toss about your precious bloody promotion.

What?
I couldn't tell the police. I'd have lost my stock options.

Millions worth.
Couldn't tell the police what?

Ed turned down the job because
he resigned from NYL.

He was quitting the business.
He wanted his life back.

You don't have children,
mr. Ruggero?

No.
Don't.

This business destroys families.

It takes your soul, then it takes your life.

What am I supposed to say to the children?

How I'm supposed to explain that their Dad is
dead because of a fucking bank?

So I'm sorry, I won't accept your apology.

You retaliate against my husband
for nothing and now he's dead.

Your five minutes're up.

I'd say he is officially late now, wouldn't you?
Just give me a minute.

Good morning. Another historic morning...
Some big story is breaking this morning in the city...

Let's start with The Guardian...
Several newspapers are running with no lead...

What is happening in the
United States is very uncertain.

Any good news?

I hear you had a look at Ed's computer.

Just wanted to find what
drove him to suicide.

And did you put your mind at ease?
All I found was that someone got to the computer before me.

You didn't tell me Ed Stuart resigned.

I was protecting you.
Right. Like always.

I understand. You didn't
get the job and you're looking for answers.

You wiped data off from Ed's
laptop, hours after he died.

What would it look like if the police had
found that falsified documents on Ed's computer?

When the board discovered the fraud,
he was fired on the spot.

We allowed him to claim
resignation to protect his good name.

Obviously he chose a much
more permanent way out.

I get it, you were protecting him too.

Claire and the kids they suffered enough.

They don't need his name
dragged to the mud.

So that's it? No one's to blame
for Ed's death but himself?

I want you to take some time off.
Go spend it with Carrie.

Yes.

This time I'm not gonna let her go.

Hey. What's up?

You called Alex Vance last night.
Moments after we spoke.

How do you know that?

They had photos, Massimo, they
were gonna share. I had no choice.

Coming to me was a choice.

Watch you off negotiating your contract\band leaving us behind, that's your choice.

We were a team, Paul.
That was never gonna happen.

Well, no harm done.

You'll stay, I've learned my lesson so...
I'm sorry.

Massimo please...
Go home Paul.

Don't come back. You are finished.

Max...
Go.

What was that?
Are we going to Black Ship?

No.

Were we?
Maybe.

Why don't we go?
Because I don't think Ed Stuart killed himself.

He didn't want the job.
And Carrie... It wasn't him.

Wait...

Are we saying.. Ed was murdered?

Yes?
Is that Mr. Rogarrow?

Ruggero, yes.
This is nurse Saldon from the Royal Free.

I'm heading there now.
How's my wife?

They couldn't bring her out of the coma.

I'm so sorry, but
she past away 20 minutes ago.

You don't have to keep running
From now on, I will take care of you.

IMF's director Dominic Strauss – Kahn

has resigned whilst in custody of NY
over allegations of sexual assault

which he strongly denied.

..crowds gathered in
Washington D.C. to join...

God can't beat the Devil.

He has always existed,
and he always will.

I know, because I've breathed
the Devil's fire into my lungs.

I've burnt his dark soul into my own.

God can't b eat the Devil,
but no matter the what it takes...

I will.

Why is it right to encourage the
leaking of secret informations?

You need yo ask yourself what sort of information is
important in the world today. What'll cause disruption?

Think about the length that people
on the inside of certain organizations will go to

In order to conceal what they're doing.
These are the new gods. Really.

These are the new gods.
These are the new gods.
