The Gentlemen · Season 2, Episode 4

Aslan, Edward "Eddie" Horniman and others in “The Bigger Picture”

AAslan

Can I help you?

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

We're looking for the gentleman who bought this place. Is he in?

AAslan

Well, if I knew that, which I do, I wouldn't tell you. See, that's outside of my remit. This place here, that's my remit. Anything outside of this place isn't my, um...

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

Remit?

AAslan

Yeah.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

How about five grand to see him?

AAslan

Give me ten, I'll take you to him. Come on in. [leading Eddie and Susie through corridor] Obviously, very much just a shell at the moment, but you can clearly see it's got a lot of potential. Smart kid, that Oscar. Got his nut on straight. Truth is, I've been managing this place since they first drew up the plans. Chief security officer, you know what I mean? So, uh, here's one for yah. Instead of a wage, I just took shares in this gaff. All right, here we are. This is us. Youse two got any idea how much a quarter of a percent of 200 million is?

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

Uh, yeah. £500,000.

AAslan

That's your opinion. This is as far as I'll go. I can't cross this line. There's a conflict of interests. So, if you will, please.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

[hands over cash] Of course.

AAslan

[takes cash] Thank you.

OTOscar Thorne

[sees Eddie and Susie] Who the fսck are you?ǃ

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

Your mother sent us. She's very worried about you.

OTOscar Thorne

How the hell did you get in here?

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

Oscar, we're here to help you.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

Although, uh, we might have a few questions.

OTOscar Thorne

[giving tour] I was offered this place for a hundred million. I know, right. 35,000 square foot set in 14 acres with its own private lake.

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

Who'd you borrow the money from?

OTOscar Thorne

Pat Gallagher. He's a, uh, super-rich Irish fight promoter looking to spread the risk of his investment.

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

Do we know Pat?

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

We do. He's a super-rich Irish cоcɑіnе dealer turned fight promoter. I don't doubt he was trying to wash his dirty money. How much do you owe him?

OTOscar Thorne

50 million. All I needed was another 20 for the refurb, but then he suddenly turns around, tells me he wants his money back with interest. No warning. I tell him, "I don't have that kind of money." "Not until I sell this place. I need a little time."

SGSusan "Susie" Glass

What do you think?

EHEdward "Eddie" Horniman

I think Oscar needs a pass from Pat Gallagher.
