Equity Page #2

Synopsis: Naomi Bishop is an investment banker determined to overcome a previous stain to her professional reputation, which is a challenge in the male dominated financial sector she works in. As Naomi in that spirit makes her move managing a burgeoning new tech IPO, she has to endure not only the condescension of her colleagues, but also her imperious client even as troubling new developments cloud the venture's future. Against that, the probing of a college friend turned Federal investment law prosecutor and the conniving of her double-dealing boyfriend seem to be manageable complications, until a betrayal by a trusted colleague threatens to ruin everything.

I said I'd make contact.

And?

I made contact.

Vi

RANDALL:

Naomi, thanks for coming.

You know Leslie from HR?

She needs a couple more names

from your department.

Teddy Sidel and Arthur Abbott.

You do know

who Teddy's uncle is?

You asked me to identify

the weakest performers.

What you do with that information

is up to you.

LESLIE:

Okay.

I guess you've heard the talk.

I'm getting out. Retiring.

Congratulations, Randall.

You never want to stay

at the party too long.

Your turn.

Steady now.

So they'll be naming a new...

...global head.

Look, Naomi,

I'm gonna be frank with you.

This doesn't look like your year.

Because of Dynacorps?

I did ask around

about what happened there.

And the perception...

...is that you rubbed

some people the wrong way.

They're looking for a rainmaker.

[CHUCKLES]

Hm.

You're hesitating. Push it.

Go. Go!

Go! Go! Go.

[GRUNTING]

I mean, at least

hit me with some facts.

Use my numbers against me.

But perception? What the f***

do I do with that?

You haven't told me

the details about that deal.

You didn't discuss it

at the board meeting?

Apparently I wore an awful dress.

[LAUGHING]

- Oh, men don't do this, right?

- Hmm?

You don't-- You don't lose sleep over

this kind of stuff, do you?

Oh, yeah, yeah, we do.

We just don't...

We just don't turn in on ourselves.

No, it's much more fun...

-...to get really pissed at someone else.

- Ooh.

Yeah.

Vi

What's the biggest deal

you could get right now?

Cachet just added

their 12th board member.

Right.

So they're going public?

I found VCs for that kid

when he had five employees.

Huh.

[CHUCKLES]

[GABE GROANS]

GABE:

What time's your car coming?

ERIN:

Four-thirty.

GABE:

Oh, Jesus, babe.

You need to sleep.

Please don't tell me

what I need.

Okay. I get it.

You have to win the bake sale.

Bake off.

Bring me a brownie.

Hm. I am bringing home

the f***ing bakery.

- Yes!

- Yes.

That's right.

Oh, where are you going?

ERIN:

Heh. I'm going to bed.

I hope I never have

to battle you for anything.

Because you'd lose.

Vi

Here's your coffees.

- Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

- Thanks.

- Hey, was that Channing Trust?

- Yeah, dude.

My uncle said Remson's tapping the guy

with the glasses for new global head.

Vi

[SIGHS]

[CHATTERING]

NAOMI:
When I was a kid,

if you wanted privacy...

...if you wanted

to send a secret message...

...you made invisible ink

with vinegar.

And when you were ready

to go public...

...you revealed your secret message

with grape juice.

Hm.

But there's nothing secret...

...about what brings us all

together today.

I'd like to introduce you

to my VP Erin Manning.
