Serena, quick, it's starting.
Do you want subtitles for any video? -=[ ai.OpenSubtitles.com ]=-
How you feeling?
I reread every bad review I've ever received this morning.
- I'm bulletproof. - Good.
All rise.
All right. That's everybody in.
This is the final hearing of Henderson vs. Duval
in accordance with Section 25 of the Matrimonial Causes Act.
Or the juicy bit, as I like to call it.
Here we are, outside the courtroom.
Day one of Henderson vs. Duval, the divorce case of the year.
This is a closed court.
Accredited journalists,
you attend this hearing by permission only.
Any misconduct will result in your immediate dismissal.
Counsel, your opening statement, please.
What is it?
Johnny's the mole.
To say, my client is a businessman
would be an insult.
To say he is a mogul, though not untrue,
a little crass.
Morgan Henderson is in fact
a once-in-a-generation, singular talent.
A game changer. A builder of worlds.
Four runs off the first ball.
Carla Duval is an actress. A good one, too.
But this bizarre claim on his business,
as bizarre as any claim he might make
on her acting, in films such as...
Fuck.
The Milliner, The Rising and The Rising II: Up Again,
All of which we are familiar with,
all of which we have so enjoyed.
This, despite a prenup, let's not forget...
- It was pretty fucking obvious. - Just... Okay.
Was by far the wealthier partner,
and which, while not legally binding
suggested an intention
never to split anything at all, should this moment arise.
And yet,
now we find her...
Yes, all right.
Demanding 50 percent of the cash value
in Mr. Henderson's holdings in Zephyr.
- So, before we begin, My Lord. - Everything all right?
- Yeah. - Let me make one thing quite clear.
This is a case of greed, not need.
Bodes well.
I think we have to do something.
There's nothing we can do right now.
- Yes, we can. We can stop it. - What? What?
We go to the door and say everything's compromised.
- We can't do that. - What are you doing?
Texting the office, stopping him getting back in.
If we could reduce the phone use as a matter of respect
- for this court. - I need to get back to the office.
- And sit down, please. - No! Stay here.
I'd be grateful.
- Thank you. - Sorry.
It's all good.
- Johnny? - Hi. Hi, I need a favor.
My Lord.
It is difficult, is it not,
to quantify the contribution one spouse makes
to the successes, or indeed the failures,
of the other.
But as we sit here over the next two days,
that is the task.
My learned friend was quick to point out
that her client is an esteemed businessman.
And she's right about that, of course.
She also wasted no time in drawing our attention
to my client's own occupation as an actress.
She just so happens to be one of my absolute favorites.
But please, My Lord, don't tell her I told you.
What is not in question
is that Carla Duval is a creative person
working in the creative industries.
Indeed, it is that word, "creative,"
that I want us all to hold onto over the next two days,
as we focus on the key issue, the creation of Zephyr.
I don't know about anybody else,
but I'm rather looking forward to it.
Thank you for that,
if Mr. Henderson would make his way to the stand.
Listen. Serena, she needs a...
a receipt for the conservatory.
Conservatory?
Yeah. Yeah, we bought a conservatory on Bernard's card.
- He knows everything. - Yeah.
First day is all Morgan like we told you,
but Budgie can do a lot of damage.
So I should ask Bernard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ask Bernard.
Tell him that it's urgent and that I'm on my way.
He's in a meeting just now.
- Oh, and Cleo? - Yes.
Don't tell anyone about this, okay?
There's a reason that I'm calling you.
All right, it's because she trusts you.
Yes, Johnny.
Okay? You're in the inner circle.
Okay, I'm doing it now.
All right, thank you. Jasper Place, EC2.
As quick as you can, please, mate.
No problem.
Mr. Henderson.
For the uninitiated,
would you mind telling the court exactly
what Zephyr is?
Yeah, Zephyr is a,
social media platform
with strict community guidelines
designed to promote positivity rather than division.
And you created it when?
In 2015.
After years spent in finance, I was...
was looking for something less toxic.
Re-balance the books, so to speak.
And one could say after years in finance,
you had your work cut out.
Yes, well even now I'm still not sure I'm...
morally in the black.
This is fun.
I wanted to create a platform that connected
rather than divided.
Something that cultivated the good in people
rather than amplified our desires for outrage
and for attention, for clicks.
And you were already with Ms. Duval
when you created Zephyr?
- Correct. - Cohabiting?
No, not at that point, no.
I had properties in London and New York,
and Carla was spending a lot of time in L.A.
That was when her career was at its peak.
Talking a few years ago now.
Did it intimidate you?
Her fame?
Did she intimidate you?
Yeah. Yes. Yes, I think so.
I was intimidated by her drive, by how uncompromising she was.
I mean, she seemed to know exactly what she wanted
in her life and...
in her work, and...
She made things happen.
She was... Well, she is...
incredible.
And...
I decided I needed the same. I wanted that same drive,
that same ownership over my own work.
- Like she did with her acting. - Yeah, that's right.
That's when I put everything I had
into this idea of Zephyr.
One person, one company, one vision.
I was...
I was like a man on a mission.
Johnny, why would Bernard buy a conservatory?
Sorry, I'm sworn to secrecy. They're seriously closing ranks
after the whole Saeed thing, so...
- You're an angel. - Oh, don't say that.
When a man calls me an angel, I get suspicious.
Well, then you're a superstar.
Thank you.
Johnny!
- What's going on? - What's going on?
Serena wants a document.
Urgently, apparently.
They've got all their documents.
It's always the way, isn't it?
The one document
you actually need is always the one that's...
Well, Johnny, if a document's needed in court,
I'm in charge of it.
Yeah, normally, mate, but it's an emergency.
So...
Besides, it's nothing anyway. Barely even matters.
Well, if it's nothing, then why is it an emergency?
Why get Cleo to find it for you? Why not just call us?
I gave Johnny the receipt. He was looking for it in your office...
Guys, leave it out, please, I'm...
If it's nothing, then show me.
Sorry, but Budgie needs it for the recess.
Yeah, no, show him the document.
Molly, no.
- Now, please. - Something you wanted from my office?
- Hang on. - Sorry.
You know how it is.
Fuck!
So that's when we took Zephyr stateside.
On the East Coast first, and then in Palo Alto.
- Silicon Valley. - That's it, yeah.
Yeah, and it all happened very quickly.
There was this crazy spike over that six-month period.
Offices springing up, and profits,
and we couldn't find enough people,
we were growing so quickly.
Sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
I mean, you wouldn't be apologizing
if we were in your boardroom in Palo Alto,
or your office in London, or in Massachusetts, or Sydney.
This is success, and each one of these achievements
should be celebrated.
Yes, you're right. And it was.
And Ms. Duval must have been thrilled.
Well, thrilled is a strong word.
- Pleased. - Yeah, pleased is also strong.
How so, Mr. Henderson?
If Ms. Duval was so intrinsic to Zephyr's success,
how could she be anything other than delighted
by all of this?
There was a noticeable shift.
I mean, I admittedly was spending more time
in the States, and Carla was over here in Europe,
and I think she'd grown accustomed
to me being close by,
and, well, that wasn't the case anymore.
Sorry, you mean Carla wasn't even with you for any of this?
These... these important turns in Zephyr's life?
Not all the time.
So where exactly was she?
Well, she was acting in films.
Well, sort of films. Movies would be a better word.
Yes, the films.
My Lord, if we may turn to item 6B
within the S25, sorry, bundle.
Thank you.
Mr. Henderson, do you remember when this photograph was taken?
Yes, that was the American launch
of Zephyr in June, 2018.
And the other people in the photo?
Gillian Pope and Eric McDaniel.
With?
With their respective partners.
Thank you.
My Lord, if we may turn to item 6C.
Can you identify the occasion
when this photograph of Ms. Duval was taken?
Yes, I believe that was the premiere for Rapidity.
- Ra...? - Pidity.
Another film. Movie.
And do you know when this photograph was taken?
- Yes. - But Ms. Duval must have
attended many premieres,
how is it you remember the date of this one?
Because it was on the same night as the Zephyr launch party.
A landmark event for both you and the company you both set up.
Yes.
And that she wants half off now.
Yes.
Still, clashes happen.
And Ms. Duval is surely contractually obliged
to attend her own movie premieres.
Well, of course. But...
But what?
But only when she's actually in the movie.
Mr. Henderson, thank you.
We will take a short recess there.
All rise.
Get him to call me back. Not as soon as possible.
- Now! - I want him gone. Gone.
We do what you said. We report him to the SRA.
- Listen... - No, don't try and calm me down, Nick!
Do not remind me I said it wasn't him.
I don't want any of that.
I just want to end his fucking career!
- Bernard. - Get Budgie, please.
Well, she's actually just...
No, can you just do it now, Fred.
Yes, but you have that now. He didn't take it.
He didn't take anything with him.
You made sure of that, right? Okay.
Block his accounts, emails,
and his access to the building and the server.
Johnny phoned Cleo and asked her to look for the receipts
to the conservatory payment.
Then he tried to go back and collect it, but before...
No! No.
Before he could leave,
Molly and Michael managed to stop him.
- So he didn't get it? - No.
So...
- The good news is... - No, there's no good news, Nick.
Let me just say it before you decide.
The good news is that he is trying to prove
that there was a payment to Flora.
Cathcarts know about it,
and they want to use it in court.
Okay, which part of that is good news?
It's good news because it shows
that they don't have proof already.
Otherwise, why would he rush back
- to the office to get it? - We still need to find him,
find out what he knows and stop him.
We have locked him out of everything.
Emails, the office. There is nothing he can do
while Budgie cross-examines Morgan.
He is out there trying to destroy our case, our firm.
One of us needs to find him,
probably not the one who's eight months pregnant.
Okay.
But we do not tell Budgie
because she can't do anything about it.
- And we certainly... - Don't tell Carla.
- Goes without saying. - Fred said you wanted to see me.
Oh, yeah.
- We just... - Gonna ask if...
Wish you all the best with Morgan.
It's obvious how they're spinning it.
I mean, to me, it's obvious.
I can see it a mile off. I just...
I don't want the judge falling for it.
Well, that's Budgie's job, though, so she'll...
Ready?
Carla's worried that the judge won't see
through Cathcarts's tactics.
And you said?
Well, I was going to tell her that Budgie is
about to give Morgan absolute hell.
Exactly. He started with pudding,
and now he has to have his vegetables.
We're about to restart.
You used to walk around
with a great big smile on your face.
Do you remember that? That's what Carla told me.
It wasn't part of any strategy meeting.
I'm not saying that to catch you out.
She just said it. "He used to smile."
So did she.
- We both did. - She said that, too.
That you loved her. And she loved you.
Worth holding on to that, I think.
But anyway, back to the nasty business in hand.
My Lord, Morgan Henderson was born entitled,
raised in privilege,
and educated to within an inch of his life.
All he lacked before snagging Ms. Duval here,
was the wherewithal to come up with a business idea of his own.
- Can I say snagging anymore? - I don't think so.
- Fred doesn't think so. - Keep going.
Mr. Henderson would have us believe
that it was Ms. Duval's passion that inspired him
to create Zephyr,
thus keeping her in her box as a muse.
The Dora to his Picasso, Jane to his Serge.
She helped him have the idea all on his own.
The truth is, before Ms. Duval,
Mr. Henderson was not lacking in inspiring role models,
he was lacking in inspiration.
- Is there a question coming? - Not yet.
But don't hesitate if you want to interrupt.
Where were you, Morgan,
when the idea for Zephyr first struck?
With Carla.
Where with Carla?
At her cottage in Normandy,
as I've stated publicly many times.
Oh, yes.
The Forbes magazine interview.
Thank you.
"It was in Normandy at my wife's cottage,
where we'd met to reconnect after several weeks apart,
that the idea for Zephyr first came to me."
Why exactly were you
at Ms. Duval's tiny cottage in Normandy
and not at one of your many sprawling upscale apartments?
Well, I was burnt out, as was she.
- Carla was burnt out? - Yes.
A film of hers had...
Well, it had received a bit of a kicking, and...
she'd become something of a laughingstock
on social media.
On social media?
And she was open with you about how that made her feel?
- Open? - Vocal.
She told you how the negative social media made her feel.
It's a simple enough question.
Yes.
Yes, because social media can be terribly cruel, can't it?
At least that's what Fred tells me.
It can be vicious, vile,
or, at least, it could be back then.
Incredible, isn't it?
That you came up with the idea of a positive
social media platform entirely independently of your wife,
and yet at such close quarters
to her reeling from this online pile on.
Or was it that,
rather than support her in her pain,
you decided to exploit the moment
- for your own gain? - My Lord.
Commodify her suffering.
- Oh, please. - It has to be one of the two.
Does it not? You can't have it both ways.
I thought you were in court.
- We're on a break. - Is it going okay?
Wait, don't answer that. You don't want to jinx it.
Listen, I might not be needed tomorrow.
And I've got some time off, so why don't we...
Why don't we...?
Go somewhere, pack a bag, spontaneous,
nice little weekend break.
- It's Tuesday. - Yeah, tomorrow's Wednesday.
- So? - So that's near the weekend.
Why are you being weird again?
All that stuff the other day about New York?
Yeah, there's just...
There's just been a lot going on and...
I, I wanna talk.
Johnny, I have a meeting...
But let's talk tonight, yeah?
And good luck.
Okay? I know this is a huge day for you.
Okay.
Mr. Henderson...
one cannot climb to the very top
of one's profession without a certain ruthlessness.
Are you asking me or telling me?
Asking. But flattery will get you everywhere.
Well, I think you have to have a singular vision,
and a desire to make sure that vision is realized.
But while you are the CEO,
Zephyr is not entirely you, is it?
It's not entirely your creation, as we have touched upon.
And you are known to minimize the efforts
and contributions of your colleagues.
- Again, My Lord. - Some of whom are here.
Some of whom you have strong-armed into vouching
- for you later on today, I hear. - Counsel.
They sit in the shadows while you take center stage.
Literally, in the case of the Pioneer Awards.
Well, I was the one getting the award.
Quite. But it's not that you do it all.
You just like the credit.
My Lord, may I refer you back to item 6B,
the photograph to which my learned friend
so kindly drew our attention.
Ms. Duval's absence here marks a turning point
in your relationship.
- Yes, I'd say so. - In your marriage?
Yes. On reflection.
My Lord, Zephyr was launched in Palo Alto
on June 15th, 2018, at 10:00 pm PST.
A date selected by yourself, yes?
I might have to check that, but...
No, it's all right.
We have the email from my client
explaining your choice of date "for strategic reasons,"
despite the fact that Carla could not attend
because she was supporting her best friend
at the premiere of Rapidity
in London, also on June 15th.
But there is a time difference, is there not?
So while you were raising a glass in Palo Alto,
she was actually waking up alone on the morning
of June 16th.
June 16th being, and there are points
for remembering this in my house...
Sorry, I can't hear you.
It's my...
It's our wedding anniversary.
You scheduled Zephyr's US launch knowing it clashed
with your anniversary, excluding Ms. Duval
- from Zephyr's big moment? - Not true.
- Excluding her as a wife. - No.
Leaving her to do her own thing.
No, I can see what you're doing, but it's simply not true
to say that I intentionally blocked her,
or that I tried to take all the attention for myself.
I mean, there's plenty of us in this photograph.
Yes, but they're all here with their partners.
Yeah, but these partners all lived in California.
Zephyr is a team.
- Is it? - Yes.
If you bothered to read that Forbes article properly,
you'd notice how much I make that point.
That I compliment my team, my creatives.
I name the people. I single them out.
The people who actually did the work,
- who helped me to build it. - Then why?
Why?
Pick that date.
- I forgot. - Forgot what?
The anniversary.
That's normal. I mean, people do that.
I mean, there isn't a single person
in this room who hasn't forgotten a date like that.
It doesn't make me a bad partner.
And it certainly doesn't mean I should hand over half
of my life's work,
particularly since I've already handed over more
than she could ever possibly bloody need.
No, I mean, it's...
It's absurd.
Speaking of the Forbes interview,
you claim the name for Zephyr comes from a poem.
Yes, yes, that's correct.
It's...
"Ode to the Muse" by...
Mary Barrett Robinson.
Darby Robinson.
Darby Robinson.
- Beautiful. - Very.
How does it go again? Can you recount it for us?
Didn't think so.
No further questions, My Lord.
He hasn't been emailing Cathcarts directly,
but what he has been doing
is downloading documents from the server
and then emailing them
to his own private email address.
- And framing Saeed. - Yeah.
There's no doubt about it. Johnny's the mole.
Oh, you're kidding.
He's been blocked from everything.
He can't get into the system, can't get into the building.
Okay. He knows that he's dead to us.
We know he's trying to prove the honey trap.
- So what's his next play? - He goes to Morgan.
- Why would he do that? - Or Carla.
Well, Carla's in court.
Okay, then he goes to Flora, doesn't he?
Tries to get her to admit it.
Right, but does he even know where she lives?
Thank you.
Yeah, look, I've... I've gotta be honest.
I've been sat in that courtroom all day,
listening to them go on and on, and there's just something about
what's happened here that doesn't sit right.
Mum.
Sorry.
Carla says she's your friend. Gets you to do this thing.
- I wanted to do it. - Okay. But where is she now?
Because she gets her lawyer to send me down here
to paint you off with a new greenhouse.
Conservatory.
Yeah, a conservatory.
And have you seen her since? Your friend, Carla?
She's not allowed to contact me. Serena Byrne told her not to.
Not yet, but she could have tried
a bit harder, though, couldn't she?
That's all I'm saying.
I think you should go to Cathcarts.
And I can go with you if you want
and tell them what's happened.
I signed an NDA.
Cathcarts know that, and they'll protect you.
But if you wanted to do it, and if you like Morgan,
then he deserves to know the truth.
I mean, are you really so much more on her side than his?
Where's this coming from, Johnny?
- What game are you playing? - No game.
I'm just done with being used by the lawyers.
Because they are treating me like the shit on their shoe.
- Just like they did with you. - Just like you did me.
Well, they made me.
I don't think you're telling me the whole story.
Something's happened, Johnny.
And you're panicking.
That's why you've come round here yesterday
and you're back today.
Look at me and tell me I'm wrong.
That was a fucking disaster.
That was not a disaster.
Fine, it was a crucifixion.
You should have noticed the date.
Oh, we should have remembered your wedding anniversary?
Don't be a dick.
These are the details I pay you to pick up on.
That's why I'm angry. That's why I...
let myself down.
Jesus, undone by the fucking Greenwich Meridian Clock,
- or whatever it's bloody called. - Greenwich Mean Time.
Yeah, I know what it's called. I wasn't actually asking.
Carla's up tomorrow, Morgan. Pru will tear her apart
if it's a crucifixion you're after.
Carla is an actress.
She can pretend she isn't being assassinated.
- She can... You know? - Keep a lid on it?
Look, losing your rag might not have played well
in the cheap seats,
but they don't make the decision.
The judge does.
Yeah, and he didn't like it either, did he?
Well, feel free to disagree.
Nick Taylor has vanished. Did you spot that?
- Yeah. - You know why?
Can I make a joke about singing?
It's because the boy's been rumbled.
That's why he ran away.
That's why Singer's gone after him.
That's why you, because this is on you, are going to go
and you're going to get to him first,
find out what he's got on Flora.
- And if he's found nothing? - Then you offer him a job.
Not because there is one,
but because we need him off the board.
Stop the other lot trying to turn him.
Everybody back inside, please.
The next session is starting.
- David. - Okay. Okay!
Carla.
I just wanted to say sorry
that it's ended up like this.
He doesn't make things easy for anyone, does he?
Well, to be honest, Gillian, you see more of him than I do.
Ms. Pope, sorry, we... we need you in.
Yeah, I'll call you. We'll speak.
Okay.
My Lord, I'd like to call to the stand Gillian Pope.
Ms. Pope, how long have you been at Zephyr?
I've been the CFO for nine years.
I've been with Morgan a decade.
I've been on Zephyr's London HQ reception
for ten years.
How would you describe
Mr. Henderson's leadership style?
It was clear from the very start.
The man has a vision.
Morgan had a very singular vision.
His vision seems very...
singular.
And while you were at Zephyr, did you see much of Ms. Duval?
- Not as much as I'd like. - In recent years? No.
I know who she is and everything.
It is so cool to see her in real life.
She did not participate in meetings.
She has no voting rights on the board.
She was not consulted on any decisions
- or any strategy. - At Morgan's behest.
At her own request.
It's just never been how it's worked.
Listen, I get the whole creation thing.
Who came up with what, when, etcetera.
It's not for me to comment on.
I saw no significant professional contribution.
And I get the old adage,
"You can't start a forest fire without a spark."
But...
the success of Zephyr, what it is today,
has nothing to do with Carla Duval.
Who I happen to like a great deal, by the way.
Who I admire on a personal level.
Whose movies I have on DVD.
But she at least had a parking space
- at the offices. - No.
Or a fob for when she visited the London office.
- No. - Or the Massachusetts office?
- Don't think so. - Or the Sydney office.
Ever?
My Lord, Ms. Duval never claimed to play
an active role at Zephyr.
- Thank you, counsel. - Or own a fob.
- Or own a fob. - Thank you both.
There comes a point where the interruptions,
however warranted you might feel them to be,
begin to count against you.
What are your feelings about my learned friend's statement
that Morgan Henderson
fails to give credit where it's due?
Not in my experience.
I'm only on the front desk, but...
My contributions have been recognized.
It hasn't all been roses.
But the man plays fair.
Mr. Henderson's always made me feel like I'm part of the team.
He says hello. He knows my name.
When my son was ill,
he asked after him and he sent a card.
I...
I feel my contributions
to Zephyr have been acknowledged.
As reflected in my shares.
Would Zephyr be what it is today if it were not
- for Ms. Duval? - Yes.
- Oh, absolutely. - To be honest,
I didn't actually know that she was involved.
Sorry, was that the wrong thing to say?
There's no such thing as the wrong thing
to say, Ms. Sykes.
All we ask is that you tell the truth.
Settle down. We're almost done.
Counsel, do you wish to cross-examine?
No, thank you, My Lord.
In that case, we shall reconvene at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.
All rise.
Everything considered, we're actually not in a bad place.
Don't.
Good. A good day.
You came across well, all told.
Almost as well as I came across.
Gillian seemed a bit off, didn't she?
- Or was that just me? - She's a CFO.
Great with numbers. Shit with words. With emotions.
Morgan, the car will be out the back.
- Thank you for today. Truly. - Oh, no worries.
I'm going to invoice you for the time.
Weird fucking day.
One of the strangest.
Did you mean all that, or was that the lawyers talking?
Because I lost track a long time ago.
I think this is you.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
What?
- What's happened? - Is it true?
Is what true?
I wouldn't have come here, Johnny,
but you disappeared on us.
And I thought Bella ought to know that she was
in the same boat as we are, dealing with a liar.
A jumped-up little twat who's only ever
been out for himself.
I want you to know that when this is done,
I'm going to make it my personal ambition
to make sure you can't get a job in a fucking call center,
let alone a law firm.
Struck off, honey bunch.
And if you don't crawl silently away to die,
you're looking at criminal charges
for corporate espionage.
Take out your phone.
No.
Your other phone.
- I'm sorry. - Now.
I'm sorry.
Johnny? Johnny, can you hear me?
Johnny?
Johnny can't come to the phone right now, David.
But can I take a message? Is it...
He hung up.
Rude.
- Bella, if I told you... - Don't even fucking start, Johnny.
I'm meant to be going out. I'm late.
You fucked up in New York and you fucked up here.
I didn't want to come back.
Things in Manhattan were great for me, but no,
we left for you!
I stood by you
through all your shit.
Bella, wait a second...
No, I've got nothing left to say to you.
Oh, actually, no. There is one thing.
Don't be here when I get back.
Okay.
I told them you weren't available,
but she said you'd make yourself available.
She said that. How sweet.
How did it go at court today?
What did we say in your interview about small talk?
In moderation and only if the timing's right.
Find St. John, please.
And David Schill would be a bonus.
We know.
We know you placed a junior associate named Johnny
inside our firm for your own corporate ends.
And we can prove it.
I don't quite understand what it is you're trying
to say to us, but you sound so confident.
I almost wish for your sake it was true.
"The offer still stands. Proof of the honey trap.
And there's a job."
I was gonna say the same thing
to David here when he rang this phone earlier,
but for some reason, he decided to hang up.
Here's the bottom line.
You threaten us with Johnny Warren,
we'll destroy you with Flora Monroe.
What she did, how you paid her...
How Johnny paid her. On your behalf.
- While working for you. - While working for both of us.
So what are we saying here?
We're saying forget Johnny.
You never heard of him.
- Neither have we. - But Flora disappears too.
Go on.
If either of those names come out.
Then the other one follows.
And we're all dead in the water. Which only leaves the clients.
We care very much about our client.
- As do we. - We respect Morgan.
And we value Carla.
But putting those allegiances briefly to one side.
We must make sure we're all still
in business.
We agree.
This trial needn't run on any longer than it has to.
No.
Not if we can all come to some kind of an arrangement.
So we... we settle on a number.
- A number that suits us. - And suits you.
And if we're happy,
the clients will have to go along with it.
Well, who wants to go first?
Come to our offices first thing tomorrow morning
to get it papered. We all escape alive.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking I trained you well.
When are you due, by the way?
Like you care.
Just here, thank you.
Thank you for hearing me out.
So, Michael Ancker wants to pay
way over market value for Zephyr.
On the condition Morgan steps down.
Morgan won't do it, won't leave, despite the insane offer.
Long story short, if you changed your strategy,
if you went after shares in Zephyr
rather than the cash...
Well, that would change things.
Make Morgan a minority shareholder
and we could force the sale.
I know how it feels, Carla,
to be overlooked, to have other people
putting themselves ahead of you.
Morgan, these lawyers, all of them talking...
all of them out for themselves.
And that's why I wanted to see you.
Because you have an amazing opportunity here.
What exactly are you asking me?
I'm asking if you'd like to be a billionaire.
