The following programme contains strong language.

'The stocks are crashing globally as the coronavirus

'disrupts lives and ravages the economy.'

'To contain the virus, China is locking down entire cities

'using tracing apps, drones, CCTV and colored banners

'to control and monitor people's movement.'

'You may ask about the Coronavirus,

'which is very well under control in our country.'

'Germany finally joins Italy, France and Spain,

'in imposing a total lockdown,

'while the UK shuts restaurants, pubs and bars.

'The death toll continues to mount globally.

'The cut was aimed to contain the plunge

'and the price of crude oil

'caused by the coronavirus outbreaks disruption into world business.

'Following the news, oil prices fell 10 point 1...'

This is a play, right?

You knew I'd come.

Does there have to be a play?

Between me and you?

Always. I made my move.

Time to make yours.

This is Dominic Morgan.

The Deputy Consul General is expecting my call.

I have the fugitive, Massimo Ruggero.

"The Camparino".

You'll be back in London tonight.

While the world faces catastrophe, you'll be facing years behind bars.

You changed, Massimo. You're not the man I knew.

The world changed.

From a time of certainties...

..to a time when there were none.

There's blood on your hands again.

I will go to Parliament and propose that the British people

decide our future in Europe...

through an in-out referendum on Thursday, the 23rd of June.

The choice is in your hands.

We are not sharks, and finance is not water.

I don't like metaphors, so I'll speak plainly.

Everything changes.

We knew this.

Just as we saw the benefits of joining our friends from China,

and making an awful lot of money.

Yes.

And... thanks also to our brilliant Head of Trading,

in her first year here.

Might have been even better if he'd given the job to one of us.

Now... the world around us is about to change again.

Whether the United Kingdom stays or leaves the EU...

the effects will be enormous.

This bank stands to make or lose billions of pounds.

But we don't fear change.

We make it.

Truly inspiring.

I'm not so sure about your Head of Risk,

but for what it's worth,

your humble Chief of Strategy stands with you,

shoulder to shoulder. Thank you, Liwei.

Now, I have a red-eye to catch. Where are you going?

South Korea, to watch a game. Oh, enjoy.

Massimo? Stonehouse wants to see you.

Yeah, sure. OK.

Jeremy.

Stirring words. Thank you.

But with the sell-offs in January, the bank is exposed

and you are in danger of missing your targets.

We'll hit them with Brexit.

That is far from certain.

I take no pleasure in this, but sometimes a global CEO

has to speak uncomfortable truths.

Such as?

You need to send a message that the strong can no longer afford

to carry the weak.

OK, but... there is no weak link on my team.

Naturally, it's not easy.

Speak your mind, Chris. Come on.

Well, there's an obvious candidate.

Kalim Chowdhrey.

His numbers are awfully low for a senior analyst.

He's having a bad patch. That's all.

Dominic Morgan knew it wasn't enough for a CEO to inspire.

One has to instil fear.

I'm glad you agree.

Hi. Come in. You wanted to see us?

We need new ideas... quick wins to hit our targets.

Well, surely with the Brexit referendum...

Even if we call it right, it won't be enough.

Not on its own. I'm looking at a software company

tracking the Ebola outbreak in Africa.

That's not a quick win, Kalim. Eleanor?

I, uhm...

She's been focused on the Brexit outcomes.

Ellams Automotive.

If the UK votes Leave,

automotive companies will be hit hard.

Ellams isn't just any automotive company.

After Diesel-gate, they pivoted from producing electric go-karts

to mainstream electric batteries.

And green energy is growing.

Ellams is on point,

but to stay competitive they need a massive cash injection.

Massive cash injection, massive commission.

Alright. Check it out.

Just for the record, we will hit the numbers with Brexit.

The consensus is the vote will be Remain.

Consensus can be wrong.

We'll make the right call.

Good. Thank you.

You were right about the referendum. No, he was right.

We need bullet-proof data to hit our targets.

If you say so. I do, and I'm Head of Trading.

I'm trying to protect you, even though I know you resent that.

I don't resent you having the job. Just... the reason you got it.

It may assuage your ego to think that I got the job

because I'm Chinese.

But I got the job because I'm the better choice.

Right.

The world holds its breath.

News media gather in Seoul from all five continents

to watch the world's greatest Go player

face off against a computer programmed to defeat him.

The woman shaking the champion's hand

will be making moves on behalf of the computer.

Go is an incredibly complex and subtle game.

Up to now, the idea that artificial intelligence

could defeat a human being has been thought impossible.

The match begins.

Can machine beat man at last?

So far, the game is proving far more challenging

than analysts predicted.

The champion is taking time to plot his countermoves.

He would seem to be struggling.

He is certainly tanking his time.

He seems uncertain.

You see the suspense on the faces of the programming team,

watching here and from all over the planet.

This is not the match anyone was expecting.

It seems we are on the verge of the unthinkable.

For decades, programmers have sought

to write software that could outsmart a human mind.

But here we see the world's greatest player

not only struggling with the computer,

but seemingly at risk of actually losing the match.

I can't believe what I am seeing right now.

Oh, my goodness! And the champion resigns.

And it's over. The game won by the computer.

This is a first, A.I. beats mankind.

Dominic.

I didn't expect to see you in this part of the world.

This is the battlefield. That's why you're here.

Isn't it?

If you're suggesting there's a war between China and America,

you're wrong. We're friends, not enemies.

There cannot be two suns in the sky.

"Go" is not life, Dominic. We can all be winners.

Right.

Excuse me?

You dropped this.

Yes...

It's the last three moves.

You saw the end of the game before the computer.

How?

Uhm...

What's your name?

Nadya Wojcik.

You must be a student. Computer science?

Mathematics.

More or less. More or less?

My visa expired. I'm going home to Warsaw.

To do what?

How would you like a job in London?

Doing what? You like mathematics.

I will show you how to use it... in the real world.

Here's my card.

Nice to meet you, Nadya Wojcik.

Pick up the phone

Uh-uh, no you won't... Oh, yes, I will!

What the f...

What the hell was that? You could've got us both killed.

But I didn't, did I?

Nice driving!

Hey. I didn't know electric cars could go so fast.

Completely new type of solid-state battery.

This company has been in my family for three generations, Mr Ruggero.

Mr Ellams, Massimo would not be here

if we didn't take this seriously. I'd like to see more.

Oh, please. Take a look around! Let's go.

Well?

We still need Brexit to hit our targets.

But I'm impressed.

You're not much of a driver. But you know what you're doing.

I was starting to wonder if you thought so... coming here.

Why are you babysitting me?

I told you.

We need to hit our targets. Alright.

Alright.

I know you wanted to be Head of Trading.

Look... Zhi's good. Right?

And... I respect her, but... I'm pretty good, too.

I know.
