01x04 - The Master's Tools

[bunniefuu]

Did you know your mom was
fooling with the help?

Nina did it!

No way!

[man] So you want a full background
check? Surveillance plus phone hacking?

It's a serving police officer.

Is that a problem for you?

Whatever it takes, we're
going to get back what's ours.

[Andre] I found the
secret shareholder.

Rishi.

Look, I have to work.

[text alert]

Brooklyn babe. Allergic
to cats. Likes carbs.

Workaholic.

You keeping a list, Asian Romeo?

Are we ever doing real names?

Did the Home Office send you
to check my papers or what?

It's been three weeks.

I have to go and
get dressed, okay?

If we took this public,
you'd see I'm great.

My dinner banter's on point,
I know about wines and cheeses

and all that sh*t. And I do
not cheap out on courses.

- Hmm. A good tipper?
- Hmm.

Do the Irish struggle
with that like the Brits?

Oh, I don't struggle
with nothing.

[chuckles] I know that's right.

[text alert]

Ms Popular.

Look, I really have to go, okay?

What about dinner?

Give me an hour.

Hey, Blair. What you doing?

Hey, Bush!

- Oh, I missed you!
- Mm.

You smell good!

Get out.

- [Nina] Thank you.
- [Simon] Thanks.

So, how's Mum?

Hmm. She's low-key pumping me
for information about everything.

Hmm. That figures.

But we have the annual
shareholders meeting next week.

- You'd better be there.
- Mm-mmm.

You're not gonna have me
working in these streets.

b*tch, you inherited
this thing, too.

Okay.

It's been three weeks
since the re-launch

and sales are up across
all demographics.

The traffic on the website
is through the roof.

Mm-hmm.

But the other thing.

Yeah?

Um...

We're still missing millions.

I've got a forensic accountant
working on it. But...

everything I'm doing means nothing
if we can't recover that money.

What about Maureen and
this whole Zurich thing?

- Keep your enemies close.
- Hmm.

Maybe she was protecting
Stephen's privacy,

but I have my eye on her.

Anyways... Shareholders meeting.

I have been calling them
to introduce myself.

- You can call some, too, you know?
- Yes.

Do you think they
gonna be a tough crowd?

They need to know a grown-up is in
charge and I'll make them money.

Shareholders love money.
They'll get in line.

Mm-hmm. Oh, you gonna
make them get in line.

- That part.
- Oh, period.

[Nina chuckles]

Flowers arrived.

I hope you like them.

[Oyin] Flowers die. That's
money down the drain.

I've been wanting to visit.

So what stopped you?

Aunty, I'm here about the
company and those children.

- What about them?
- We don't know them,

we don't know what they want.

And now I'm hearing about
financial irregularities.

They could ruin everything
we've worked hard for.

When last did you
work for a living?

The company should
be run by family.

- It is run by family.
- Yes, but...

Or do you want to
take over yourself?

I don't want them
messing things up

and putting your
dividends in jeopardy.

What about my dividend?

What are you planning?

- [Andre] Claudia.
- What you saying?

Ultimae are in. They wanna
make this investment.

You did good, Dre.

How about you?

- Moji's in.
- Rishi Mehta's interested.

That's almost everyone.

What about the kids?

I'll get them in line.

Tell Ultimae we're
ready to proceed.

That girl ain't gonna
know what hit her.

[theme music playing]

Congratulations.

Any news on Davina Chase?

No, she's not returning any
calls, emails or letters from HR.

Great.

So she's probably prepping
to sue for unfair dismissal.

Thanks, Maureen.

[woman] The new Face
Of Flair is on point

and we love to see it,

so my online order was massive

and I was going to do a products
haul video for you guys.

- Yes, girl. That's it!
- [woman] But my order hasn't arrived yet.

Like, seriously, though, what is
going on with the availability?

F&G is sold out everywhere.

- We seriously need some...
- sh*t!

Back in these streets.

[Alesha] Gus, this is just not gonna
last. F&G Just Me Spritz is sold out.

True Condition is sold out.

It's a shambles and
customers are angry at me.

Chill, all right? I'll find out
what's up and get back to you.

[Alesha] Everybody's telling
me, "I'll call you back..."

And guess what, Gus,
no one calls me back.

I promise I will get
back to you with answers.

- [Alesha] I'll believe that when I see it.
- You have a delivery?

They said you need to
sign for it personally.

Cool. I'll handle this.

Never heard of email?

You don't want this
kind of paper trail.

This is my favourite.

[Trevor] Smoking up with this guy
who's wanted for human trafficking.

[chuckles dryly] Man's
living dangerously.

Yeah. What do you want me to do?

Could be in the
papers by the morning.

Let me think.

Sure.

Bell me when you decide.

I didn't ask for it.

Building admin.

- We need to talk about distribution.
- Yeah, what's going on?

The new ad went viral, we
had three weeks of sales

going through the roof
and now it's plateauing.

But the website traffic
is still high. Why?

Because no one can
actually buy anything.

Everything's sold
out everywhere?

We've never had a surge like
this before, credit to you,

but our distributors
are flopping.

Who's your contact
on the supply chain?

Asif, but we can't
get hold of him.

- Where's he based?
- Enfield.

Great. We're going to Enfield.

- Lobby in 15.
- See you there.

Neen, none of these
shareholders are taking my call.

I mean, I've tried everybody.

"Sorry, can't talk,"
or call rejected.

I've had the same thing.

Listen, I have to go
to Enfield with Gus

to sort out this
distribution mess, but...

- [line ringing]
- [woman] Hello.

Hi, Mrs Adegoke. This
is Nina Richards.

- I just wanted to talk...
- You people need to leave me alone!

I'll tell you the same thing
I told Claudia last week,

I'll see you at the
shareholders' meeting.

- Mrs Adegoke...
- Goodbye! [hangs up]

Hello?

Why is Claudia
calling shareholders?

[Andre] Ultimae are proposing an
investment of over £150 million,

and a member of the Ultimae
board would join Flair's board.

But the cash injection
for the company

and the sweeteners for
individual shareholders,

it's a good deal.

[Claudia] Hmm.

If we win the vote,
Nina won't stay.

Exactly.

I propose Gus and
Alesha as joint CEOs.

That's how we get the
company back on track.

[Andre] Mm-hmm.

You really delivered,
Dre. I won't forget it.

Andre's been secretly meeting
with Ultimae for weeks.

If Andre and Claudia have been
able to secure a cash investment

by Ultimae into Flair, it has to
be presented to the shareholders.

Now, Claudia's already
working on them,

and I have no doubt the board
will recommend this investment

- given the financial difficulties.
- It's an ambush.

- They can't outvote us, can they?
- [Nina] Unless...

Claudia convinces the other
shareholders to vote with her.

[Gideon] That's my suspicion.

If they pool votes together,
they can outvote you.

Oh, my God. How was
she ahead of us?

Do Gus and Alesha know?

Who can tell?

Where's Andre?

Maureen, hi, could you have
Andre come to my office, please?

Andre's booked off this week.

Thanks.

- How convenient.
- Very.

We need to get the other
shareholders on our side.

Hold up, why would Ultimae
invest in a company

with a hole in its finances?

If we tell them the whole truth,
we can torpedo the whole deal.

Ultimae are pirates.
This is their MO.

Buy struggling companies
at bargain prices.

They're betting that plugging
that hole will reap rewards later.

Claudia is so f*cking
short-sighted.

She will sell her whole family
out for a few pieces of silver.

Look, this is what we do.

I'm going to handle this
distribution issue with Gus.

Neen, can't that wait?

Gus and Alesha cannot
clock that we know.

Si, I need you to find
out everything you can

about the other
shareholders. Okay?

Use Maureen.

Find out their favourite sports
team, band, granddaughter...

Build me a profile.
We need allies.

Gideon, I need you to find out
everything you can about this deal

Andre's brokered with Ultimae.

And find me that
missing shareholder.

Understood.

- [Nina] I should have been more vigilant.
- You couldn't have known.

That's the last time I
underestimate that b*tch.

[Asif] If we have any
Flair And Glory products,

they'll be over here.

[Gus] How do you find
anything in all this?

- [Asif] You're gonna mess up that nice suit.
- Careful.

Don't worry, we're insured.

No one can get any
stock. What's going on?

Yeah, I've been calling the
distribution centre for weeks...

I thought this was the
distribution centre.

[Asif] Nah. That's
the other guys.

[Nina sighs]

Nothing.

Your distributor's
gone AWOL, innit?

So the hold-up is with
the distribution centre?

Yeah, kinda, but I hear the
delay's with the manufacturer.

The manufacturer in China?

No, America. Well,
the hair part, anyway.

- What?
- I thought the hair came from China?

Well, it's sourced in
China, then sent to America

for processing and packaging
before it comes to the UK.

And we pay all of
these people a fee?

Well, they're not
doing it for free.

- We could try another wholesaler?
- [Nina] Yeah, that's a good idea.

Listen, can you handle it? I have
to do something at the office.

What's more important
than fixing distribution?

Well, I trust you.

Deputy, right?

Okay.

- I'll see you back at the office.
- Okay.

[Simon] Er, Claudia has been busy.
She's called almost everyone.

[Gideon] Indeed.
She even got to...

- [Nina] Anything?
- [Gideon] Good, you're back.

I finally found the shareholder.
We should set up a meeting.

Who is it?

Jasel Mehta. He founded a
chain of Black hair shops.

Now, he died a year ago.

His stake's now controlled
by his son, Rishi.

So you'll need to convince him to
vote against the Ultimae investment.

[gasps softly]

f*ck!

[Gideon] sh*t.

Brooklyn! What are
you doing here?

You play one hell of a game.

Excuse me?

How long have you been
plotting with her, hmm?

I'm lost, Brooklyn.

Sure, okay.

Rishi Mehta. I'm Nina Richards,
CEO of Flair And Glory.

Nice to meet you.

This is a surprise.

I didn't know. How could I?

You're the one who's
all, "no names".

So I'm supposed to believe
this was an accident?

What are you accusing me of?

I'm saying you inveigled
your way into my life

under false f*cking pretences.

You own equity in my company
for reasons I do not understand

and now you're plotting
with my stepmother.

Is that clear enough for you?

That's not how Claudia
described the situation.

So now you're getting
your memory back.

You can't actually believe I'm in
on some big conspiracy against you?

How would I know? We
barely know each other.

You wanted it that way.

I'm still figuring out my
dad's various investments,

but I keep everything
above board.

No games, no manipulation.

If anyone's a closed book...

it's you.

If you're telling the truth...

then vote with me.

- Nina...
- She has to be stopped.

Now, if you are the stand-up guy
you say you are, then support me.

I'll listen to the presentations

and do what's best for
my invested capital.

This is business.

Screw you.

[boxing coach] Are
we boxing or what?

We have no stock and we rely
on too many third parties.

Our distribution
model is broken.

[sighs]

Nina and I are working on it.

Yeah, but we need
something more radical.

Savage by Fenty, Kylie
Cosmetics, Kim K Skims...

All direct to the consumer.

Why pay someone else when we
can bring the customer to us.

You're talking about
cutting out the middle man.

Oh, you think it's stupid?

No. We could go further.

What if we bring
it all in-house?

This Black woman gave
me her card last year,

Made In Kingsland.

She has her own factory in China
manufacturing Black hair products.

What if we acquire them

and they start to
manufacture Flair products?

We take a stake in an
emerging Black-owned company

and we gain control...

sh*t, Alesha. This is good.

Yeah.

We need to talk to Nina.

[text alert]

- What's going on?
- No idea.

- Luke and I have plans tonight.
- If she says she's marrying Andre,

- I'm gonna lose it.
- Ugh!

That cannot happen. What
is up with your suit?

Good, you're all here.

[Claudia] Ultimae want to
invest in Flair And Glory.

- Ultimae are huge.
- Are you serious?

- Yes.
- But we're not for sale, so...

And they're not buying. It's a
strategic investment of capital.

The company is struggling and they
are offering over £150 million.

Wow. Okay.

- Dad wouldn't like this.
- Dad would be livid.

Your father didn't
have the full picture.

He didn't know about
the missing money.

But Nina's strategy is
making a difference.

Growing sales, broadening our
appeal to a younger demographic.

But where's that missing money?

Think for a minute.

An investment that secures
the future of this company,

or bet on empty
promises from some girl?

No. Flair And Glory
is a family business.

We let Ultimae in
and that's gone.

And we're not securing anything, we're
throwing away everything Dad built.

- I'm not down for that.
- Wanda!

This is your future.
Your father's legacy.

Baby.

When your father died, I told you
I would get you what you deserve.

Family first.

[chuckles sarcastically]

Family plus Andre?

He's behind this, right? He's
put this idea in your mind?

Nobody puts me up to anything.

Andre will get a nice job in
Ultimae and we get what's ours.

We get back control and
drive out those two.

Under the deal, you
could be joint CEOs.

How could they be so blind?

They take that investment,

Flair will get swallowed
up by a big white whale.

She can be very convincing.

No. Nina can be convincing, too.

Yeah, but we don't
have time on our side.

Stephen said someone was trying
to hurt him, hurt the company.

It sounded personal.

What if it was Claudia?

She's trying to cover up her
part in the embezzlement.

It's a possibility, and given
her closeness with Andre...

- [Simon] Hmm.
- But right now, a substantial investment,

like the one Ultimae are offering,
will secure the company's future.

The value Ultimae is putting on
the shares is ridiculously cheap.

They're worth ten
times that, at least.

Yeah, but if the company goes
under, they're worth nothing at all.

So money talks and our
shares mean nothing?

[Gideon] If Claudia gets
everyone to vote with her,

the percentage is
stacked against you.

Or I'll change their minds.

If they want my company,
they'll have to fight me for it.

Aunty.

[speaks in other language]

All of you have suddenly
remembered where I live.

[Nina] I remember how
much you loved plants.

O ya, say your piece.

[Nina] We can't trust
these conglomerates.

The same people who wouldn't
invest in the business,

and now they're
circling like vultures.

It's true.

That's how Oyinbos move.

And if things were different...

What about this missing money?

We're investigating.

- If you don't get it back, then what?
- I won't give up.

- If you trust me...
- Trust doesn't pay dividend.

Uncle Chuma, you're an
entrepreneur, a true success story,

just like my father. You
know he'd never sell out.

[Chuma] Your father
was a businessman,

totally without sentiment.

He would tell you that
in the circumstances,

that this is a good offer.

Listen, Uncle Chuma,
this Ultimae deal

will put Flair And Glory at the
mercy of a multinational company.

They don't care about
what we represent.

If we let the wolf into the
chicken coop, it's over.

I can't make any promises,
but I'll think about it.

Sir, are you ready?

[Nina] Mama Kemi, in
less than two months,

I already have Flair
back at the top.

We're selling out everywhere,
new partnerships are coming.

We have new customers...

Nina,

[speaking in other language]

you're such a good girl. Eh?

Very hardworking.

- Thank you, Ma.
- But what is that saying again?

A bird in hand is
worth two in the bush.

Claudia has already
shown me the figures.

And they will make the
business profitable again.

[speaks in other language]

Goodbye, my dear.

[Nina] A no from Mama
Kemi, a no from Aunty Moji

and a maybe but probably
a no from Uncle Chuma.

- [Simon] sh*t.
- [Nina] Yeah.

Gus was working his a*s off
on the distribution issue.

- He's not in on this.
- [Simon] You think you can turn him?

I mean, he's a real mama's boy.

Alesha, maybe.

If we can get them on side, this
starts to look like a fair fight.

[Alesha] Do you think
we should do it?

[Gus] If we're
CEOs, we can expand,

invest in Black-owned companies,
move to a direct-to-consumer model.

We'd have power without having
to ask anyone for permission.

But I feel bad. Nina's
been good to me.

Yeah, I get that, but what
do we really know about them?

This is our future.

Yeah, I know. You're right.

- Wanda will be mad.
- Hmm. She'll get over it.

[mobile vibrating]

It's Nina.

Don't answer it.

[Simon] Try Alesha.

[sighs]

[line ringing]

[voicemail] The person you are
calling is not available...

- I guess we've lost Gus and Alesha.
- Oh, God!

Okay. Okay. There has to
be another way around this.

I mean...

Are-are they paying
kickbacks to anyone?

What if...

You know what, Andre has to be in
breach of his employment contract.

Maybe that's how we stall
the Ultimae deal if...

[multiple phones ring]

What now?

"Like her predecessor, Ms Richards'
style of leadership is exacting.

"She brings a bullish American
charisma into business,

"but, unfortunately,
no amount of pizazz

"can fix the
plethora of problems.

"Her inexperience is a liability

"and an unsolved money
drain has pushed the company

"into a precarious
financial position.

"It's no wonder the brand
is courting buyers."

How the hell did
he find that out?

On top of everything else, we
have a snitch in the family.

- The timing is perfect.
- Too perfect.

Shareholders' meeting is
tomorrow and this hits now...

- Claudia's behind that mess.
- Hmm.

[Gus] Hear this part, "The deposed
heir apparent, Gus Richards,

"an entitled trust-fund baby
with an untested business acumen

"is more visible in the
capital's party hotspots

"than in the boardroom..."

Can you believe this crap?

How many times are
you going to read it?

- It's humiliating.
- It's bullshit.

Some guy finding drama
where there isn't any.

This is about my reputation.
No one takes me seriously.

How will they see
what I'm capable of

if I'm always in the background?

If we win the Ultimae
vote, take the CEO jobs,

then you can be centre stage.

I have to go, but please
stop reading that trash.

[line ringing]

Trevor, it's me.

Do it.

f*ck him up.

[mobile vibrating]

And?

That article has
everybody shook.

- [sighs]
- A gift from the universe.

[chuckles] Give that white man writer
a glass of champagne or something.

Nah, cancel that. He didn't
have to be so harsh with Gus.

Her credibility's in the bin.

Hmm.

Are you gonna show
me that hot tub?

[both laugh]

[Nina] So that's it?

I think so. We've
tried everything.

Ultimae are aware of
the missing money.

They don't care.

Flair is a hot
opportunity for them.

None of their existing
portfolio or brands

serves Black and brown
consumers sufficiently.

Suddenly, everybody
wants to bet on Black.

I should fire Andre.

He's not a shareholder, would
make no difference to the vote.

- But it'll make me feel better.
- Hmm. That part.

Wait, this isn't adding up.

There's one shareholder
that we couldn't track down.

Dele de Souza.

Distant cousin of your father's.

We could do with his shares.

Feelers are out, but he
appears to have disappeared

to Brazil at some point.

He'll count as an abstention.

You're out of time, Nina.

The vote is tomorrow
and, apart from Simon,

you have no definite allies.

There must be
someone we can turn.

Someone who's as pissed
with Claudia as we are.

This isn't something
you want to hear.

Go on.

This investment could
save the company

and you could get out cleanly.

- You never wanted this.
- [Nina] You're right.

This isn't what I
wanted to hear from you.

Let's wrap this up.

[gasps]

You've got to be kidding me!

Oh.

m*therf*cker!

Someone who's
pissed at Claudia...

I'm not interested.

You don't wanna stop them
tearing up your father's legacy?

- What do you care? You hated him.
- But I love winning.

[scoffs]

Okay.

So, I'm guessing Mum's turned all
the other shareholders against you.

Your mother is misguided.

Andre's influence, I'm guessing.

How long before Ultimae
forces a name change

or has some fancy white woman from
head office running the company?

Okay, I know, I'm not an idiot.

The thing is, Wanda, I don't
think you care about the money.

You loved your dad,

and deep down, you
know this is wrong.

What do you want?

I want you to vote with me.

[scoffs]

Your vote could swing
it back in our favour.

Listen, I have already
taken Flair viral.

Give me 18 months and the
company will be twice the size

and you will still
have the same stake.

Ultimae cannot give you that.

Hmm.

But why should I vote for you?

Have you heard
anything I've said?

You want me to go
against my family, right?

So, tell me something that's
real. Why are you really here?

What do you want from us?

Is this just a game to you?

Stephen called me.

When?

The night he died,
our father called me.

He said someone was trying
to hurt the company,

trying to hurt him.

What does that mean?

I think he knew something.
Something was going on.

If they win, we will
never know the truth.

Gus, Alesha... I was worried. No
word from either of you for days.

Look, no hard feelings, yeah?

It was never about feelings,
just good business.

Look, Nina, I'm sorry.

For what?

Y-You've been great...

Alesha, grow up.

Own your choices

because how you vote in
there will have consequences.

I want what's best
for Flair And Glory.

Okay, Ultimae is an
opportunity for us

to have the financial backing
to go to the next level,

to really disrupt
things, bring people up,

- champion...
- Are you serious?

So you actually think you're gonna
be able to create a Black utopia

at the heart of a
white-owned conglomerate?

[Nina laughs]

Girl, read some Audre Lorde.

"The master's tools will never
dismantle the master's house."

And if you think that investment
is anything other than a shackle,

then you're an idiot.

[tense music playing]

Nina.

Hello, everyone. I'm glad
to see we're all here.

[Claudia] Observant as
always. Wanda isn't here.

Andre...

I'm surprised to see you.

I'm often required to
oversee shareholder meetings.

Hmm. Is that what you're
overseeing in here?

- Aunty, did you read that article?
- No.

What article?

Such an embarrassment.

It didn't look good
for you. I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry, Claudia?
Did you leak the information?

Don't try it.

[footsteps approaching]

Where have you been?

- Good work with the FD.
- What are you talking about?

I saw you talking to that
journalist at the Face launch.

And? I mingled with
all the guests.

Yeah, well, someone spilled
family tea to that journalist.

Are you mad?

Why don't we get started?

You did more than mingle.

[Gideon coughs]

I officially call
this meeting to order.

The motion brought forward
by Claudia Richards,

attending shareholder,

is whether or not to accept
the investment by Ultimae

for the value of £150 million

in exchange for equity
and a seat on the board.

Are there any
questions or remarks?

I'd like to say something.

I'll cut to the chase. This
is extremely short-sighted.

Ultimae are vultures.

They will swallow Flair up,

and within five years, the name
and the legacy will be lost.

Under my leadership,
Flair And Glory...

Will be a joke.

We've seen your leadership.

Articles in the paper,
spilling family secrets,

chasing new customers at the
expense of our loyal fanbase.

The sales speak for themselves.
What I'm doing is working.

If you look at the figures...

I thought you wanted
to cut to the chase.

Fine. Fine. Let's vote.

[Gideon clears his throat]

On the motion of whether to
accept the investment by Ultimae.

The voting is for or against.

Claudia Richards?

For.

Moji Adedayo?

For.

Sikirat Adegoke?

For.

[Gideon] Chuma Ejizu?

For.

Rishi Mehta?

For.

- Simon Richards?
- Against.

Nina Richards?

Against.

[Gideon] Alesha Richards?

For.

[Gideon] Augustus Richards?

For.

[Gideon] Wanda Richards?

Wanda?

Against.

[gasps]

Wanda!

- They don't have enough.
- Yeah.

We still have one more vote.

Who else is there?

Cousin Dele.

He's missing.

He's dead.

Very sad.

What happened to his shares?

The new owner will be
joining us on Zoom.

[indistinct whispering]

- Mom?
- Mom!

- Heh, heh!
- Mom, what is this?

Gideon, let's move this on.

Oyin Richards. On the
motion, how do you vote?

For.

What! What the hell?

[Oyin] I'm doing this for you.

And that's a win.

Gideon, what the
hell just happened?

Did you know what she was up to?

She was pumping me for information,
but I did not expect that!

How could she vote against us?
We're doing all of this for her.

She doesn't want it.

She's been saying that from the
beginning, but you won't listen.

- You're obsessed.
- So you support her.

- You support what she did.
- Her shares, her vote.

Thanks a lot, Simon. Thank you.

Hey-hey-hey. I do wanna get stuck
in the middle of this, okay?

It was supposed to be
three days for a funeral,

now you have us
running the company!

I have my own stuff, Nina.
I have a life of my own.

Then go back to your life.

If this is so terrible, go.

I will handle it all
myself. I always do.

Nina the martyr.

I'm so sorry.

How did we miss that?

It's an oversight on my part.

What now?

The motion passes.

How do we contest it?

There's nothing
to contest, Nina.

Ultimae are in, if the deal
passes legal scrutiny and checks.

This wasn't about you. They
were swayed by the money.

Oh!

You can stay on
in some capacity.

Stay on and do what?

They have made it very clear that they
have no confidence in my leadership.

It's over, Gideon. I won't
be CEO and watch this happen.

I resign.

[woman] You, too,
with your principles!

[speaks other language]
And here we all are!

We got the right result.

Yeah, sure, keep
telling yourself that.

Wanda, your dad...

No.

Ultimae are very happy.

[indistinct chattering]

[slow song playing
over speakers]

[man] Yo, yo, yo! CEO! CEO!

Shut up, man!

[man] Hey, boss man,
food's here, man.

Yo!

Watch the Harry Potters. That
sh*t is first edition, yeah?

All right, sorry.

[text alert]

[Luke] Are you getting ready?
Everyone's already at Penny's.

You're about to get a sh*t-ton
more money. You should be happy.

- You don't get it.
- What's to get?

Oh, right, Black
ownership, blah blah.

Okay, okay. Come on, please.

Wear that Prada dress, huh?

[text alert]

[text alert]

- [Nina] I'm not sure.
- [Stephen] Make a move.

If you stay in the game, you can
still learn and you can still win.

If you keep pushing,
nothing is impossible.

You just have to
think, Nina. Hm?

Hmm?

[text alert]

[line ringing]

- [Thomas] Miss Richards.
- Thomas, hi.

I'm reading your email.
Tell me about these wires.

[Thomas] The money was
wired internationally.

Right now, I can't
track where it went.

What about when?

Did these transactions happen at
any particular time of the day,

any particular day of the week?

Yes. Usually around


Weekdays. Always the same time.

Maybe when the
person started work?

Or maybe they were aiming for the start
of the business day somewhere else.

It's possible. I was
thinking Switzerland.

Only a hunch, but to move
large amounts of money

in the hope it's untraceable...
That would be my pick.

It would complicate things.

Switzerland is highly
privatised and secretive.

Oh, my God, yeah,
it could be Zurich.

I could push for information
through a government agency,

but that takes time and
there are no guarantees.

Nina?

Um, Thomas, let-let
me call you back.

Your flight will be
boarding in 30 minutes.

Thank you.

Welcome to the
Zurich Luxe St Peter.

Hi. I have a reservation.

Thank you.

Just a moment.

Ms Richards, welcome.

It is a pleasure to have you.

Your father told
us to expect you.
