MASSIMO: They say that Lucifer,
the most shining of all the angels,
was God's favourite,
that God loved him more
than all the other angels.
Yet when he found out that Lucifer had broken his rules (BOTH SPEAKING AT ONCE) (PANTING) he was pitiless.

(VOICE ON TV SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) He managed to hack the system to alter the VaR.
DOMINIC: You sure Massimo knew about this? No, but if his team did it on their own, then that just means he can no longer control them.
(SIGHING) In either case, I don't think you can trust him anymore.
If you like, I can run it by Legal about sacking him.

Hello.
I thought this was a dinner with a few friends.
Don't get cuss.
We're celebrating! My new exhibition! They called me today from the Kensington Gallery.
- They want to do a one-woman show.
- Ah.
Didn't you tell me they were snobby toffs? Yes, they are snobby toffs.
But they love my art, so I love them.
- And I love you.
- Mm.
Hey! What about the new one? The German girl.
- Helena.
- Yeah, didn't you tell her to come? No.
Fucking chauvinists.

Absolutely not.

- No.
No.
I said no.
- (BUZZING) Ow.
(MUSIC PLAYING) You know, I've got one like you, too.
What do you call it? What, a husband? No, dear.
That's the last thing I need.
I'm talking about a guy who invests my money.
- Hmm.
- Only mine sucks big time.
Why? He said, "Buy a house somewhere.
Property's a solid investment.
" - Mm-hmm.
- "Gays never go bankrupt.
" - And now, they've repossessed it.
- No! That mortgage, what was your guarantee to get it? A salary? Some other property? Only my work.
I'm a freelance, darling.
I went to the bank, and I signed a shitload of papers.
Hell of a lot easier than giving a blowjob.

MASSIMO: Hi.
Are you coming? - What is it? - I'm looking at how many MBS my bank is carrying.
That's very interesting.
- Yes.
MBS stands for - (KISSING) mortgage-backed securities.
They are bonds guaranteed by mortgages on properties.
They package them together - and resell them to other banks as investments.
- Yes.
Like when you sign a cheque over to somebody else.
- Exactly.
- What's the problem? The problem is knowing if the mortgages forming the MBS are good or bad, like the one your friend took out that he can't make the payments on.

Good morning, sweetheart.
We have a problem.
Gotta go.
Come on.
You were right.
The sub-primes haven't been covered since 2005.
The American banks have been handing out mortgages to anybody and everybody, with no collateral at all.
The foreclosure index is shooting for the stars.
It's a fucking property bubble.
MASSIMO: All of which risk turning toxic, unless - No.
- You've lost your mind.
The property mortgage sector is the most solid there is.
Low interest, low risk.
It's the first thing they teach at the university.
You stick to the trading.
Let me do the banking.
- Boring stuff, yes.
- I'm the one that takes care of guaranteed income for this bank - mortgages, to be precise.
- They were guaranteed.
Now, they're turning into junk.
We need to sell all the MBS we are carrying, and I mean now, before it all blows to hell.
- If we sell now, we lose a billion pounds.
- And if we wait, we'll lose 10.
Dominic, this is madness.
The board is about to name the new CEO.
You seriously want to risk everything on the intuition of someone who's only worked here a few years? - We sell.
- (BANGING) Good.
♪ The subprime mortgage mess has left millions of Americans struggling.
Worst one-day point drop since 9/11.
(PEOPLE CHEERING, APPLAUDING) (TALKING INDISTINCTLY, PHONE BUZZING) (BUZZING) Weren't for you, we'd have gone down with the subprimes.
Dominic wouldn't have been named CEO.
You did well.
Or perhaps you just got lucky.
DOMINIC: Would you excuse me? Don't let him get to you.
He's just being a Brit.
- He still thinks he's part of the colonial empire.
- (CHUCKLING) The American Home Mortgage Investment Corporation filed for bankruptcy yesterday, BNP Paribas froze three funds, and Northern Rock is requesting special financing - from the Bank of England.
- I know.
A tsunami is coming, and we need to be ready.

I want to introduce you to my wife.
I think you two will get along.

I'm gonna recommend your name to the board.

They bought it after they fled the Stalinist regime in Poland.
- Oh, really? - But you know, my father was an aristocrat but just terrible with money.
Dominic bought it back for me as a wedding gift.
Wow.

Don't be mean.
She's an artist.
A failed one.
I saw her exhibition in Kensington.
You know, they closed it for lack of a buyer.
The person that owns the gallery, she's a friend of mine, and she told me that the only reason why they accepted her was because they thought that Massimo's friends would actually buy something.
CLAIRE: Massimo must only stay with her because she looks good on his arm.

(DOOR OPENING) Let's talk about the speed at which markets are deteriorating.
Bear Sterns has been forced to seek the help of JP Morgan and the Fed with a twenty-eight day loan.
MAN ON TV: Seven minutes of trading this morning.
It was down more than 683 points.
Now, the Dow Jones index has just lost 40 percent.
- KALIM: Stop.
- WOMAN ON TV: We're red everywhere.
(TYPING) Stop fucking trading.
Listen to me, you damn algorithm.
WOMAN ON TV: The stock market is now down 21 percent.
MAN ON TV: So, we're now down 43 percent.
WOMAN ON TV: What in the world is happening on Wall Street? Bear Sterns has existed for nearly a century.
Up until a few months ago, it was worth well over 350 billion dollars.
MAN ON TV: Can't look at it after you buy it.
- This is so horrible.
- The crisis will die down.
No, honey.
It's just one.
Hey, you're the new guy.
Good luck.
The crisis will expand.
Fortunately, we've dumped our toxic paper, - so we are relatively in the clear.
- What about lines of credit with other banks? If those banks fail, they'll drag us down with them.
We'll get out of them.
Cut every line of credit with any other institution, even if it means sinking them.
Without mercy.
A crisis can be a fantastic opportunity to make money.
Meaning? We attack the weakest of the lot America.
MAN 1 ON TV: We're in the last days of this country surviving.
MAN 2 ON TV: From the financial capital of the world, the opening bell is going to ring - in five seconds, - and to be honest with you, we wish it wouldn't.
MARGARET: At the present time, the US is as secure as Pearl Harbor was the morning of December 7th, 1941.
I have no doubt that Uncle Sam will come along and nationalize it all.
SHERMAN: You've all just been greedy.
You've been inflating the bubble for years, in full view of the Fed, who just sat on their hands.
And now, you go whining to the government to bail you out? Pathetic.
If the scope of the disaster is what we're seeing in DC, You'll have to nationalize so many banks that our national debt will reach the stratosphere.
There are fewer and fewer buyers, and we are printing dollars at a feverish pace.
If the market calls our bluff, they'll switch to other safe havens raw materials, gold, even the Euro.
If the Chinese start investing in the Euro and the rating agencies downgrade us, then we are done for.
I I appreciate the heads-up.
(BEEPING) How do you remain so calm? I'm not calm, I'm looking for a solution.
What are you thinking? We need to divert the attention away from the problem.
- To do that, we should feed something to the markets.
- Mm.
Who do you intend to sacrifice? Europe.
The president and my boss won't buy it.
They intend to help Europe.
The president should make America his first priority.
- If you want to distract the markets - Mm.
you ought to start by distracting your own people, don't you think? They were warning me.
From your own trading sector.
Someone is shorting the US Treasury.
One of your own people has already smelled blood.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING) (SIREN WAILING, HORNS HONKING) - MASSIMO: Okay.
This is for you.
- Thank you.
When Tokyo opens, more shorts against the Treasury.
- Yeah? - Final push.
- Beautiful.
Let's get this done with.
- Oh, yeah.
Okay, very good.
Very, very good.
I sometimes forget you're Italian.
- (CHUCKLING) - Do you mind? Of course not.
Your father must be proud of you all your achievements.
We haven't spoken in 10 years, so I don't know.
I've been told you've been shorting the US debt.
I didn't know you were checking on me.
That's not what I told you to do.
I merely did what you taught me to do follow the smell of blood, attack the weakest, and make money.
And at the moment, the weakest beast of all is the US.
Just go back - and block the shorts.
- Wh what's this? Keeping US debt on our books as some kind of patriotism, or The Federal Reserve will start printing.
The US debt will be financed.
- End of story.
- (SIGHING) It's precisely because they're going to start printing.
The dollar won't hold, and not only that, the US national debt will be downgraded.
We're not talking about just any currency.
The US dollar will go back to being a safe haven.
It's untouchable.
