:04:01
..come to some arrangement
with laughing boy...
:04:03
Customers refuse to pay for them.
:04:05
They say what's on them
doesn't match the original deal.
:04:08
The real reason: the market goes down,
they don't want any more.
:04:11
lt's a mess.
:04:13
You're absolutely 100 per cent right,
Susi. lt's one hell of a fuckin' mess.
:04:24
lt was my job to sort out
the certificates...
:04:27
..so customers wouldn't have
any more excuses not to pay.
:04:30
Until then, Barings had this bloody
great hole in their balance sheet.
:04:34
lt was boring work,
but l knew if l made a success of it...
:04:37
..then l could write my own ticket.
:04:39
All the certificates
are in the right denomination.
:04:41
l've sorted out all the documentation.
That's all in order now, so...
:04:45
..all l need from you...
:04:47
..is a cheque!
:05:02
Hello. l'm Lisa.
:05:08
l'm, um... Nick Leeson. Can l help you?
:05:10
Barings sent me
to help with the settlements.
:05:13
Didn't they tell you?
:05:14
Oh, of course! l've been on at them for so
long l never thought they'd get round to it.
:05:20
What do we do with that lot?
Build a bonfire?
:05:28
l'd never even heard of Barings
before l started working for 'em.
:05:31
lt's not like there's a Barings in Watford.
:05:33
You're a hero in London. They think
the sun shines out of your arse.
:05:37
Really? l was beginning to feel like
one of those Japanese soldiers.
:05:41
Still stuck out in the jungle
20 years after the war!
:05:44
What's it like here?
They tell me it's not safe at night.
:05:47
Bollocks. The locals are great.
:05:49
And it's not full of pompous ex-colonials
thinking they were born to rule the world.
:05:54
That's what l love about Asia.
:05:56
Anyone can make it.
Doesn't matter which school you went to.
