Church Missions House, built in the 1890s.

45,000 square feet. Six floors.

She knows the building better than I do.

- Maybe she should be the realtor.
- No.

Shall we go in?

♪ You ain't got no reason
To walk away ♪

♪ I'm healing
Operate... ♪

So the Anna Delvey Foundation
is a private club,

but it's also a dynamic
visual arts center.

I want it to be a place for people with
taste, a step beyond the VIP room.

When you're in,
you know you're special. Exclusive.

Not just one big space.

I want it to be a series of small,
cozy lounges with private butlers.

Clubs within the club.

Exactly. That's what I was imagining.

Maybe a rotating array
of pop-up shops, exhibitions

and installations in this area?

But only the most interesting artists.

I think that would feel
fresh and innovative.

Right here, you could leave a void
that can be filled with sculptures.

Huge pieces of art.
Like a Doris Salcedo piece.

I've thought hotel rooms.

Two floors should be enough?

But luxurious. Curated.

I want guests to have
a home away from home.

Richie, this is where
I was hoping for your genius.

I need three restaurants. All different.

One of them doesn't have to be
another Nobu, but I wouldn't mind.

And I'll need a juice bar. Oh!

And a German bakery.
We have to have a German bakery.

My parents will never show up,

but they'd kill me
if I didn't serve strudel.

♪ 'Cause I knew you
When you came along... ♪

- Well?
- It's a huge project.

It'll have a huge opening.
Christo's promised to wrap the building.

The building itself will be a work of art.

It'll be the talk of New York.

Right. It's going to be magnificent.

Bravo, Anna.

Since you first saw it,
we've had some other interested parties.

Nobody else sees this place.

I'm taking it.

What's the timeline?

The lease is $4 million a year.
You'll guarantee the renovations?

What's the budget?

Our reno budget was $20 million,
but it's sounding more like $25 million.

Doesn't include restaurants.

So let's round up,
say she needs $40 million to finance.

Sound about right?

She created a business plan.

She pulled in a group
of best-in-class advisors.

Her architect? Gabriel Calatrava.

Architecture royalty,
his father did the World Trade Center.

She had André Balazs
overseeing the addition of hotel rooms.

Richie Notar from Nobu
was on board to put in a restaurant.

Holy shit.

Right? A dream team.

And now, she sees the perfect building.

281 Park Avenue.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm sunshine and candy.

Where was I?

You were getting to the good part.

Oh. Anna looks at 281 Park,
says she'll take it.

Are you sure you're okay?

Fine. Ask me who owns 281 Park Avenue.

You don't look okay.

Are you in my uterus? No.

Ask me who owns 281 Park Avenue.

Who owns 281 Park Avenue?

Aby Rosen.

Aby Rosen?

Anna could have any building she wants,
but she picks a building

owned by the biggest, richest
real estate mogul in Manhattan.

The one with the most lawyers,
the most connections,

the biggest swinging dick.

I'm starting to like this kid.

VIP is better.

Exactly.

She's got the dream team in her pocket,
Aby Rosen on the hook.

In her mind, she's a big dog now.

- Huh.
- She's got this. Can taste it.

All she needs to do
is secure the financing.

All she needs is $40 million.

But nobody would give Anna $40 million.

I'm sorry.

Are you telling me she was actually
being seriously considered for funding?

I can't get a single finance guy to talk
but this is the paperwork.

BFA, Citibank, Fortress.

Anna was a 25-year-old kid
in a baby doll dress

without a dime to her name.

How does that happen?

Who the hell would believe
Anna Delvey was good for $40 million?

It's amazing.

One of my favorites.

I see something new
every time I look at it.

Hmm.

Alan, I thought this might be a good place
for us to discuss Anna Delvey.

Who the hell are you?

Vivian Kent, Manhattan Magazine.

This...

Did you follow me here?
This is harassment.

This is respect.

I could be talking to your doorman.

I'm respecting your wife.

I could be speaking
to your business partner.

I'm respecting your workplace.

Here, we're just two strangers
admiring a painting, chatting about art.

You are not embarrassed.

Your reputation is intact.

No one has to know we spoke.

I just want to hear
your side of the story.

How did you meet her?

Why did you help her?

No.

- Morning, Mr. Reed.
- Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Reed.

- Court 1 is waiting for you.
- Thank you.

We keep Court 1 for the VIPs.

Alan Reed always gets Court 1.

Oh, yes!

Don't strain anything.

Don't be a sore loser.

I thought you were working
through that in couples therapy.

Stopped.

Divorce lawyer's
cheaper than the therapist.

There's someone I want to connect
you with. European heiress.

She's opening a club.

Like Soho House, but more exclusive.

She needs advising.

Can I send her your way?

Let me guess.

You want to split the origination credit?

Of course, and the billables,
if it comes to anything.

We'll see.

- What's her name?
- Anna Delvey.

Uh-huh.
Yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yeah, man. I'm talking jet skis,
uh, influencers, models.

I mean, literally, it's everything
you can think of under the sun,

in the Bahamas.

And get this,
Ja Rule is partnering with me on this.

Yeah, I'm serious man. Ja-freaking-Rule.

Yeah,
it's going to be awesome.

Exactly.

Yeah, he says he's always on time,
so it's a perfect time to jump on.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Investors are the worst.

Investors are a bitch move.

I'm all about holding onto my equity.

Full ownership, total control.

Damn, girl.
Living large with that trust fund.

I was going to talk to you.

You should put some money into this.

My list of investors is,
uh, pretty A-list.

Invest in some party
for out-of-towners?

So shady. It's going to be huge.

Thanks, but no.
It's too small-scale for me.

By the way, Billy,
last night's scene was way out of control.

It was a party. You're not even
supposed to be living here.

Lightweight.

Morning, Mr. Reed. I have your usual.

Thank you, Camille.

- Oh. Have a good day.
- You too.

Hey, Jules.

Hi, Dad.

Nice tie! It brings out your eyes.

So how's your internship?

Your mom and I are looking forward
to trying your bouillabaisse.

What happened?

Do you know how sexist kitchens are?

Being in that toxic environment
was hurting my soul.

Couldn't you talk
to your mentor, or your boss?

Of course not. This stuff is top-down.

You don't understand, Dad.

There's this amazing retreat
and I need to get away.

My credit card is maxed this month.

Please, Daddy. I just need a break.

Okay, but we need to talk about
what you're going to do next.

Maybe we can find another cooking course?

Dad, I'm not supposed to be a chef.

- But Julia...
- I have to go.

Thank you for the money. Say hi to Mom.

- Love you.
- Wait, Julia...

They passed due diligence in record time.

Just to make funds for a CDO.

They've confirmed
that they'll stand surety for the loan,

but without a contingency, at least 12%...

You want in on this. Trust me.

They're appointing new trustees.

But, you know,
the fundamentals are still a shitshow.

l told them they're going to have
to leverage their other holdings

to secure the purchase.

- How did they respond?
- They're scrambling...

You don't like the painting?

Sure. It's interesting.

Mr. Reed. Hi.

Thank you for meeting with me.

Please. Have a seat.

So tell me about your foundation.

ADF, The Anna Delvey Foundation,
is unlike any other social members club.

We're going to differentiate ourselves

through the curation
of an exclusive art world clientele.

How's that different from
Soho House, NeueHouse, The Wing?

It's completely different.

ADF is way better than those places.

How so?

Here's my business plan.

We'll have all the expected
luxurious amenities,

but I want to give my members
more than they expect.

I want to anticipate their needs.

And you've worked in the art
and hospitality world previously?

Um...

No, but I understand...

- This is a huge undertaking, okay?
- Mm-hmm.

Where are your metrics, your KPIs?

What's your operating profit margin?

Have you done your market research?

How does your proposed product stack up
against what's already in the marketplace?

I was born into art.

I understand business.

I might be young, but I have experience
and my family's connections.

Of course.
I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

But starting a business in New York
is not for the faint-hearted.

I am aware of that, but I plan to succeed.

Maybe it would be easier
to start ADF in Europe,

but New York is where I belong.

My challenge right now
is that my trust is in Germany

and I need capital here in America
to get the ball rolling.

That is a major problem.

Which is why I've come to you.

You have no quantifiable
professional experience in this,

or in any other business.

Plus you have no capital in the States.

It's going to be difficult for you
to secure the support of an American bank

without a track record.

I can't help you.

I can do this.

ADF will be a game changer.

Ms. Delvey, I'm sorry,
but I'm not convinced.

- If you just give me one more chance, I...
- I can't help you.

Thank you for coming in.

It's the 21st century,
but this is still a boy's club.

Think that's why
you had trouble raising funding?

I think I'm 25 and female.

And they take one look at my face
and my ass and make assumptions.

But you kept going?

You really wanted the money.

You have to understand
there's, like...

...an endless supply of money out there.

New York is swimming in capital.

But talent, that's hard to come by.

A vision like mine
doesn't come around all the time.

Genius is rare.

Besides, I don't lose.

- Ms. Delvey...
- I rushed my pitch last time.

But if you hear me out, you'll realize
that ADF is a viable business.

I have the answers to all your questions.
KPIs, metrics, all of it.

Once I've secured the lease
of the building at $4 million a year,

I have a renovation budget
of approximately $40 million.

My advisory board includes

some of the most successful names
in New York real estate and hospitality.

In terms of my lack of capital in America,

I have my trust fund
of approximately $60 million. I can...

Ms. Delvey, the answer is still no.

This is not the way to do business

and the fact that
you don't realize that is also a problem.

- Mr. Reed... I...
- It's a no. Goodbye, Ms. Delvey.

Anna Delvey approached you
for a $40 million loan?

She did.

We have an excellent track record

and many high-net-worth individuals
come to us first.

If Anna had $60 million
in her trust fund, as she alleged,

why did she even need a loan?

Didn't strike you as weird?

Rich people don't risk their own money.

That's where banks come in. We assume
the risk and we shield their capital.

If all goes well, the banks make money
and they make money.

In any case,
Anna's assets were all in Germany

so she needed a line of credit here
to start the ball rolling on ADF.

But you turned down her loan application?

Most people around town did.

- This is Wall Street.
- Meaning?

This girl wanted to borrow $40 million,

but was swanning around in baby doll
dresses with her boobs hanging out.

- No one took her seriously.
- To lend money to? No.

Some of these sleazebags would shag her,
sure, but she didn't look the part.

This isn't SoHo or the East Village.

She wasn't trying to get a table
at the hot new restaurant.

Anna wanted to borrow a lot of money

from some of the most conservative
institutions in the country.

She needed an in.
She needed to get her bona fides in order.

How did she do that?

Well, she's a smart girl.

She started to dress the part, for one,
but it's more than that.

Do you know how money flows
and circulates amongst the rich?

Relationships and introductions.

Anna needed a sponsor.

Ms. Delvey, what are you doing here?

Your assistant is taking
a very long lunch,

and I got bored waiting in reception.

Your daughter's pretty.

I should call security.

You know how hard it is
for a young woman in business?

How is that relevant?

I have a vision.

I have a sizable trust fund.

I have an incredible advisory board

and yet no one will consider my
business proposal because of how I look.

Think about that for a minute.

If I were a man
with the right accent, in the right suit,

from the right Ivy League college,

would I still be knocking on doors?

Think about what your daughter will face
when she's going out into the world.

Okay.

I'm listening.

Here's my business plan,
which includes renovation timeframes,

operating profits, key performance
indicators and other key metrics.

Mm-hmm.

Go on.

I need your help
to secure the finance for ADF.

With your capital abroad,
it's an uphill battle.

But if anyone can make it happen,
it's you.

Hmm.

My family's business
is handled by Peter Hennecke.

He's based in Germany, but he will
provide you any information you need.

I will wire you a retainer right away.

What do you need?

Well, I've got to confirm capital,
the particulars of your trust.

I'll talk to Peter
and I'll get him to call you today.

Let's start the process.

It's gonna take a lot of legwork.

I have to be sure.

I'm having a party tonight.

Many of my advisors will be there.

Come. Please.

Come to my party and see what I can do.

I can't.

You want to know how viable ADF is?

Then come.

Can we change this?
No one wants smudged silverware.

Alan! Hi.

I'm the first to arrive?

This looks like a nice place.

Of course it's nice. I chose it.

Are you okay?

Sure. Why wouldn't I be?

ADF is everything to me.

Your family must be very proud
of what you're doing.

They don't care.

My dad's always been
so uninterested, so indifferent.

Maybe if I was a boy, he'd be proud.

Reggie! Hi.

You know Reggie Walsh?

Alan. Yeah, we met
in the lobby at Ellis Reed.

Yes, I talked to so many great people.

You guys have the best clients.

- Well, she's not our...
- Oh, Alan, come and meet Michael.

I'm so over Koons.

The work is so derivative these days.

The scope of the project is mind-blowing.

I mean, Anna is
an architect's dream. Incredible.

They approached us to do
some American Idol for artists thing.

Along with my philanthropic arm,
I have a team of AI specialists

because I'm excited by how
art and technology could converge.

What will that intersection create?

That sounds awesome.

We experimented
with freestanding installations

and more conceptual stuff for a few years.

But we're going back to our roots.

This one was inspired
by the Omo Tribes of Southern Ethiopia.

Our bodies are as much a canvas
as the cotton hemp kind.

We went on safari in Kenya once.

Magical place.

Giraffes are bigger than you expect.

At Fortress, I can guarantee that
you'll get a personal hands-on service.

Relationships are how we
do business at City National.

We don't leave you on hold
or force you to use apps.

You guys don't even
have an app yet, do you?

- Well...
- Sometimes an app is convenient.

I love my Uber.

Do you like art, Alan?

Well, I'm more appreciative
than knowledgeable.

I almost got a tattoo of Michelangelo's
Vitruvian Man one summer in Europe,

but something stopped me.

We'd like to paint you.

No. I'm sure you wouldn't...

You don't see what we do.

Which is?

Your spirit shines through, Alan.

Are you scaring Anna's lawyer?

Trying to
get him to sit for us.

They don't just ask anyone.

- Think about it.
- Hmm.

- Anna, you should meet these guys.
- Yeah.

My man Yakub is at Citibank.

- Oh. Hi. Hello.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

And this is Ron Wheaton.
CEO of a private jet service.

- Hi.
- Yes.

He worked with us at Fortress
to start up Blade.

- Blade.
- Oh.

This dude here, my man Kevin,
works with Martin Shkreli.

- How are you?
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

This is Anna Delvey, you know that.

Thank you for coming.
This means a lot to me.

Thank you all for being here
to support the Anna Delvey Foundation.

When I came up with the idea, I knew
the only place to bring it was New York.

And tonight,
you proved I made the right choice.

Cheers.

Cheers!

Thank you.

This could be a sweet deal for us.

She is really very special.

She really is.

Mr. Hennecke, I appreciate
you talking to me so late,

especially with the time difference.

Not at all. It's my pleasure.

Anna tells me you're the man
to help her secure the building.

Well, I'm going to try, but first I need
some information about Anna's trust.

For purposes of her loan applications

and for our own due diligence
here at Ellis Reed.

That won't be a problem.

As of close of markets today,
the assets are approximately €60 million,

so about $65 million,

but I'll have a copy
of the deed of trust and beneficiaries,

a statement of assets and holdings,
proof of funds, and a list of trustees.

That's exactly what I need. Thank you.

It will be there by tomorrow.
Good night, Mr. Reed.

Good night.

- What?
- Got to be kidding.

- What's going on?
- Okay.

There's a form that gets filled out
for every new client in a place like this.

Like a verification form. Approval.

And there's always a box to be checked.

Does the client have the means and assets,
the money, to pay for services?

Basically, is this person
rich enough to be our client?

The attorney checks a box, yes or no.

Alan Reed checked yes.

What?

What?

But Anna didn't have any means or assets.

I mean, she was crashing
on Billy McFarland's sofa. She was broke.

Alan Reed thought otherwise.

But he's a senior equity partner.

The guy lived through the '80s.

He's seen it all.
Belfort, Trump, Lehman's, Madoff,

and yet, he fell for Anna's bullshit?

How in the hell does that happen?

What is it about Anna?

Sherry, where's that shirt
your sister gave me last Christmas?

I gave it to Goodwill.

You said only Europeans or new money
would wear silk in those colors.

Remember when
we first moved in to the city?

In that walk-up on Christopher Street,
with the pet store downstairs?

How could I forget?

Don't you miss the energy we had?

Excitement about the future,
being away from your parents,

not having everything
mapped out and decided.

I remember how much you hated it.

How you complained every night.

Maybe if you were laying down...

When I lay down,
she climbs to the top of my organs

and takes the little machete
I apparently grew for her

and starts hacking away
at my will to live.

You mean she kicks?

Fuck you and your sperm.

No. You don't have to get up.

Go back to sleep. I'm sorry. I...

No. I do not want to rest
if you are not feeling good.

Also, I'm afraid if I sleep,

you'll try and kill me
to make sure this is our last child.

- Let's try on all fours again.
- Mm.

Do you think they were fucking?

Alan and Anna?

Alan gives Anna the keys to the kingdom.

An all-access pass.

Why? He thought she had potential?

They don't care about potential.

They care about money.
But Anna didn't have any.

They could've been fucking.

- Older guy, younger girl.
- Mid-life crisis.

It makes so much more sense
if they were fucking.

It happens all the time.

But they weren't fucking.

There'd be receipts.

Credit card bills, hotels,
a secret apartment, gifts. Something.

I've checked. Nothing.

Anna didn't date anyone after Chase.

Anna's the Virgin Mary of Wall Street.

This is not helping.

Wanna try something else?

Could we try jamming the baby
up your holes?

And good night.

Who're you calling at 3:00 a.m.?

Peter Hennecke.
And it's morning in Düsseldorf.

Baby.

Anna says Hennecke
runs her family's office.

The family's private money manager.

Always goes to voicemail.

You sure they weren't fucking?

Alan? Having an affair?

Oh.

I'm sorry, but, mm-mm, no,
you'd have to know Alan.

He doesn't color outside the lines. Ever.

If it wasn't
an inappropriate relationship,

how do you think Anna fooled Alan?

With lawyers, it's all about
origination credit and billable hours.

The origination credit goes
to the partner who brings the client in.

For an equity partner, like Alan,
that's money in perpetuity.

Even if the client spawns decades of work.

Should vetting be more thorough?
Of course.

But sometimes, a big fish swims by,

you don't waste time
deciding if it's a marl or a carp.

You just cast a net and reel it in.

I'm guessing Alan was thinking,
"If this girl starts the next Soho House,

projecting into the future,
that's millions,

maybe tens of millions, in revenue."

And this was no charity
or hardship for him.

Everything he did for her,
every introduction, every conversation,

every email,
every passing thought about ADF,

these are all billable hours.

Alan was making bank.

A partner of his level,
that's probably $2,000 per hour.

Not including any junior lawyers
or paralegals working on her case for him.

So this was all about money?

For Alan? Hell yeah.

But she never paid them.

Well, that's the real mystery.

How does a partner do more than 200 hours
of work without a retainer in place?

Maybe he lost his touch. It happens.

Oh, my God.

I actually don't need to be here,
but I can't walk another minute

and I needed to pee, so...

I spent all day
talking about billable hours.

Lawyers are all about billable hours.

But as far as I can tell,
Anna never paid Alan a dime.

- Did she?
- No comment.

He helped her for no money.

What is it with this woman?

Are you religious? Is it, is it kindness?

Is there some oath?

You okay?

Yeah. We're not talking about me.

Why would he help her?

Okay, maybe it's the possibility.

The thrill of the hunt.

The chance to cross the finish line first,
the view, the win,

the respect, the honor, the glory.

You know?

So she's not paying you either?

No comment.

The offers
will come flooding in now.

I'm so impatient.
I can't wait to get started.

Everything I've been working for
is right here.

Touching distance.

It'll happen. I believe it.

Your daughter's lucky to have you.

I'm not sure she'd agree with you.

Do you see her a lot?

She's always busy.

At school?

No. College wasn't for her.

She doesn't really do anything.

She gets upset when we ask her
what she wants to do with her life.

We work so hard to give her everything.

To open every door for her.

My dad cut me off once.

- Did I tell you that?
- No.

Hmm.

I was so mad with him.

But after he did that to me,
I had no choice.

I had to stand on my own feet.

After that, I knew
I could take care of myself.

No matter what, I'd be fine.

This one. Do you see?

I do.

I have Peter Hennecke
on the phone, regarding Anna Delvey.

Put him through.

Good to speak again, Mr. Hennecke.

Anna tells me
you're making progress in New York.

We have two banks very interested in her
proposition and in loaning her the money.

Excellent news.

I presume you'll need paperwork
regarding her trust, proof of funds...

Exactly that. Proof of the trust,
and its origins, bank statements.

My assistant will email you
a whole checklist of what we need.

That would be helpful.
Thank you, Mr. Reed.

Alan, please.

It's an incredible project.
All credit must go to Anna.

She always was a gifted girl.

I'm sure.

I'll also have my assistant
send our invoice again, for our retainer.

Of course. My apologies.

I will send a wire transfer immediately.

It may take maybe two, maybe three days.

I understand. International wires can be...

Such an irritation,
but it will be promptly sent.

You have my full attention now,
whatever you need.

Thank you, Peter.

Are you sure it's here?
It doesn't feel safe.

Nobody gets mugged in New York anymore.

Come on.

This chef has an incredible reputation
for her food trucks.

Food trucks?
I don't believe this.

Uh-huh. She got written up in
The New York Times. Anna says she's cool.

Anna says. I'm not going in there.

Come on. This is how it works.

Wow.

Mom! Dad!

The retreat is supposed to be amazing.

Kylie was there just last week.

New glasses, Dad?

Progressives. The frames
are a little young.

You let a hipster
help you choose your glasses.

I like them.

They look good on you.

So your mom and I were talking...

Since it didn't work out
with the French cooking course...

That wasn't my fault.

No one's saying it was, but what's next?

Robert Taylor's daughter
is an editor at Condé Nast.

She said you can give her a call.

God! No. Journalism is dead.

I'm not doing that.

Than what do you want to do?

You're being very confrontational.

Dad and I are worried.

Your gap year has been going on
for two and a half years.

Your friends are graduating next year.

I'm on my own path.

And where's that path going?

I'm sorry, Julia.
I didn't mean to upset you.

We're just worried.

I'm doing my best.

We know you're trying,
but you have to try harder.

Mom!

It's time you start taking responsibility
for your actions.

What does that mean?

That means if you can't hold down a job,
or commit to study or school,

then we can't keep supporting you.

I'm trying to discover my passions.

Not everyone can have
a boring, stable job.

That's true, but my boring, stable job
can't keep bankrolling you doing nothing.

People work at their passions, Julia.

It's time for you to do something.

You're cutting me off?

Oh, my God. Oh. Alan.

Alan.

That was amazing.

It was, wasn't it?

You close the deal?

Almost.

Ah, sweet!

Look at you with your boss moves,
leaning in and shit.

- How's your party?
- Ah.

That's like calling
the Last Supper a dinner.

What I'm creating is a game-changing
experience. It's like the Moon landing.

So how's your Moon landing?

We're killing it.

You can't tell anybody,
but watch this space.

We're calling it "Fyre Festival."

Fyre. With a "Y."

Fyre Festival?

Fyre with a "Y"?
That's the name of your thing?

The letter "Y" is rare
and important in numerology.

You're serious?

Viv?

You in there?

No.

She stole a fucking jet.

What?

Anna stole a fucking jet!

Explain.

Wh...

You know this is a ladies room, right?

I was peeing in here.

Gender is an outdated concept,
urine is universal.

Anna stole a fucking jet.

She knows. She knows.

- Did you tell her?
- I'm trying.

We have Blade's witness statements.

Anna chartered a $35,000 private plane
to take her to Omaha.

How did she afford that?

- You didn't tell her?
- No.

Anna stole a fucking jet.

Listen, Anna never paid,
no card, no wire. Nothing.

She actually stole a plane?

Blade is pressing charges,
and working with the DA,

saying she scammed them.

How do you steal a fucking plane?

I can't scam
extra legroom seat from Delta,

but this kid is scamming
a private jet to Omaha. Kudos.

What's in Omaha?

Thank you.

Your loan application
passed the first stage.

We'll move on to due diligence
and get this whole thing wrapped up.

To ADF and Fortress.

To building something special.

I have a good feeling about this.

I'm all about helping you
achieve whatever you want.

Well, I like the sound of that.

What are you doing next weekend?
You want tickets for Berkshire Hathaway?

Warren Buffet's thing?

Warren Buffet. She went to Warren Buffet's
Berkshire Hathaway conference.

Swear to God. I have it in my notes.

I really do like her.

What I want to know is,
how do you steal a fucking plane?

- How's it going?
- And this is Ron Wheaton.

CEO of a private jet service.

Bloomin' round here ♪

The plane is here,
but she didn't supply a credit card

and the wire transfer hasn't arrived.

You know we can't let
anyone fly without payment.

You read Ron's email?

It says right here, "Assist Ms. Delvey
with the required plane."

The rules are the rules.

She's buddies with the CEO.
He said "assist her."

Do you want to tell the boss's friend
she can't fly?

Oh, shit.

Sweet ride, Anna.

Thanks for bringing us.

Well, it's nothing. You were headed
there anyway. More the merrier.

Ms. Delvey? Ms. Delvey.

- Ms. Delvey!
- What?

I'm sorry, um,
your wire didn't come through.

Check your systems.
The wire has been sent.

- But...
- I have meetings to get to. Talk to Ron.

- You call Ron.
- You call Ron.

So she just took a plane? No cash down.

She was going to Warren Buffet's house.
She had to be good for the money.

I told them to let her fly,
the wire would arrive.

She knew all the right people,
she was in all the right places.

Rich people are careless with money.
I figured she's ditsy, but loaded.

So you'd let me just walk
on to a jet, right now?

Hell no.

I mean, no offense,
but you are clearly a civilian.

Great.

- Ah!
- Ha ha!

You're really moving today.

I feel great.

By the way, thanks for the recommendation.

Anna is a star.

Who?

Anna Delvey, your German heiress.

Opening the members club.

Oh, that worked out?

I thought you knew her family?

Nah. Met her at a party once.

Must have given her my card.

Ah.

Well, we've got Fortress on the hook
for a $40 million loan.

Looking at an annual revenue stream
of upwards of $200 million.

And that is before
the clubs expand globally.

Sweet. You'll be billing
for this thing until you die.

You've got that right.

Don't forget my cut.

Cut?

What cut?

I could get used to this.

When you travel as much as I do,

it's so much more convenient
than commercial.

We are about to begin
our descent into Omaha.

Please fasten your seatbelts.

- We should blow the conference, right?
- Yeah.

The real VIPs aren't here
for the conference.

- We're here for the party.
- One party.

Every year Warren Buffet
throws a secret party.

Only real important people
get invited, like Bill Gates.

It's at the zoo this year.

A zoo?

I like a party.

So you're attaching
criminal intent to this trip.

She's a businesswoman.

Her loan application was in with Fortress
and City National Bank.

She was waiting for the money
to come through.

So Berkshire Hathaway
was just a pre-celebration?

Yeah. Uh, who celebrates in Omaha?

You know, when I was 25,
my idea of fun was Vegas, Miami.

But you're not Anna.

This rich people money festival
is like banker heaven.

Savvy, collective, exclusive.
This is Warren Buffet's annual Coachella.

She steals a plane to hang out
with the richest men in the world?

Allegedly. Maybe she had the funds.

Alan believed she did. That's why
he was working his contacts for ADF.

Fortress was ready to bite.

Calatrava was doing
the architectural plans...

Keep talking, just look over there.

All she needed was one last step,
and that deal would have closed.

Jeez.

Okay, don't move.

I've done this before. Just hold still.

What are you doing?

Jesus!

Better?

The pain is gone. It's actually gone.

I love you.

Nine years of marriage, two kids.

Passes.

Thank you.

You don't have access to this event.

But I have a ticket.

That's a conference ticket only.

You don't have
the credentials for this event.

But my name will be on the list.

No list, just the right pass.

Want to catch up with us?

Uh, sure, let me just fix this.
I'll see you there.

Scan it again.

Do you know who I am?

Ma'am, could you step aside?

Hi. Um...

Uh...

One second.

Yes?

Anna, how's it going?

David, what is it?

Good news. Your loan application
is with the underwriters.

We're through to the next step.

They've asked for
a good faith deposit of 100K

just to proceed with the due diligence.

That won't be an issue for you?

No. Of course not.

Uh, I'll have Peter wire that right away.

- Anna, there's no need to panic.
- I'm going to lose 281 Park.

They're already getting impatient.

I don't have 100K in the US right now.

All my money is stuck in Europe.

- I can't lose my building.
- Anna, calm down.

We still have City National Bank.

Let's park Fortress for now.

Reggie at CNB will come through
for you with the loan

and you'll be able to secure that lease.

I want you to work with me.
We're a good team.

You could be on my board at ADF.

Thank you, Anna. It means a lot.

No. Don't thank me.

Just say yes, and help me fix this.

Leave it to me.

Ms. Delvey, I was about to call you.

What's taking so long? It's been weeks.

We tried completing our due diligence.

We reached out to UBS in Munich
and Peter Hennecke...

He sent you everything.
I was copied on those emails.

Yes, but some of those documents
were a little vague.

Uh...

I'm sorry, my underwriters couldn't
be convinced. They kept pushing back.

They, uh, they declined to proceed
with your loan application.

You said they'd come through, Alan.
You said Reggie would help me out.

- There are other options.
- No, there aren't!

I want that building.

I told you, I want 281 Park.
It can only be 281 Park!

Anna, you have to calm down.

No. They're going to give
my building to someone else.

They're trying to make me fail.

No one wants you to fail.

I thought
you were on my side, Alan.

I am.

We're in this together.

What am I going to do?

What am I going to do, Alan?

My father...
My father will think I'm useless.

If I'm going to be on your board,
you have to trust me.

I will talk to Reggie.

Go home.

I'll handle this, okay?

Okay.

You're the only one I can trust.

Peter, can you guarantee me
that that money is coming in?

That Anna's wire transfer will arrive?

Of course.
What are you suggesting?

The transfer has already gone through.

What's wrong, Alan?

I had no choice.

The underwriters pushed back hard.

We couldn't satisfactorily account
for the origin of her wealth.

Who is this girl?

Are you sure about her?

Reggie, this is disappointing.

I can assure you
there is significant wealth there.

Why else would I agree to be on her board?

My hands are tied.

I shouldn't be telling you this,

but David at Fortress has already started
due diligence and will approve.

ADF has added André Balazs
and other big names.

She's going to have backing
to float within five years.

What can I do to make this right?

As a show of good faith,

I'd like to open an account for you
at City National Bank.

Given your activities in the US,

we'd like to extend an immediate
overdraft facility of $200,000.

You could withdraw that money right away.

I... I want you to understand
that we value your business

and I'll personally ensure
you have everything you need.

I want to mend our relationship.

I'm glad to hear it.

If you'll sign here, we'll deposit
the $200,000 in your account immediately.

Guys!

Get over here.

Hmm.

I went through her credit card bills.

Our girl made several purchases
from Telefonica.

What's that?

A phone operator in Europe.

Anna spent $100 on a virtual SIM card.

A SIM card is that little chip thing

in your phone
that stores your information...

- I know what a SIM card is.
- Good.

Well, now there are virtual SIM cards.

So you can have
a virtual SIM app on your phone,

that lets you run phone numbers
for different countries.

- Anna had one of these?
- She did.

What number was she running?

Now we get to the good part.

Mr. Reed?

Ms. Kent, this is bordering on harassment.

Did you know about Peter Hennecke?
Did you know?

Good to speak again, Mr. Hennecke.

Anna tells me
you're making progress in New York.

We have two banks very interested in her
proposition and in loaning her the money.

Excellent news.

I presume you'll need paperwork
regarding her trust, proof of funds...

I had conversations with Hennecke.
I spoke with the man.

She bought a virtual SIM to run a German
number and used a voice distorter app.

Five dollars on iTunes.

There never was a Peter Hennecke.

- What's her name?
- Anna Delvey.

Who is this girl?
Are you sure about her?

This could be a sweet deal for us.

I can assure you
there is significant wealth there.

Why else would I agree to be on her board?

I shouldn't be telling you this,

but David at Fortress has already started
due diligence and will approve.

She is really very special.

She really is.

Alan?

How can you justify doing that?

Hennecke, lying to Alan...

You and your stories.

You're saying I'm wrong?

I think my father only ever wanted sons.

My brother is the genius.

I think my dad always expected me to fail.

All men underestimate women.

Even the one who's supposed to love us.

Did Alan underestimate you?

Is that why you humiliated him?

You're so worried about Alan.

Do you seriously think
he's in any danger of losing anything?

I'm the one locked up
for crimes I didn't commit.

I'm the one denied bail.

Every day men do far worse things
than anything I've allegedly done.

And what happens to them? Nothing.

No consequences, no fallout,
and definitely no jail time.

Alan will be fine.
They'll probably promote him.

Men fail upwards all the time.

Right there. Good.

An economic miracle
is taking place...

Oh, that's perfect.

You're not gonna leave me
for Todd, are you?

...the world has seen
what we always knew...

- We'll see.
- ...that no people on Earth

are so fearless, or daring,
or determined as Americans.

Uh, uh, uh.

What a shit show.

So you gonna get sued by Ellis Reed?
Because we can't afford bail money.

I spoke to him.

Alan Reed was just a patsy. Anna used him.

Poor fool.

Whatever Alan is, he is not poor.

They basically promoted him.

Appointed him global head
of the real estate division.

$2 million a year
before bonuses and equity share.

He allowed his firm to be defrauded
and they promoted him.

...because our people are strong.

There's zero consequences for these men.

Good morning, Mr. Reed.

I have Court 12 open for you.
