TV<\/a>TV<\/a>In Season 4\u2019s penultimate episode, \u201cPoints of Emphasis,\u201d the truth just sounds different\"\"HBO\/Ringer illustration\"\"<\/a>By Katie Baker<\/a>Feb. 23, 3:10 am UTC \u2022 16 min\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m in a room with a reptile,\u201d sneers Henry Muck (Kit Harington) to his fellow fintech executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella) near the start of Industry\u2019s most recent episode, \u201cPoints of Emphasis.\u201d It\u2019s an apt remark. Over the course of four seasons of HBO\u2019s lowlifes-of-high-finance drama, plenty of ruthless schemers and selfish dreamers have made a name for themselves. But it\u2019s Whitney who stands out as being particularly cold-blooded and evasive, capable of disappearing through cracks, camouflaging his presence, or dropping a tail. Whatever it takes to survive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henry isn\u2019t the only one who gets the heebie-jeebies from Whitney. Minghella himself has perceived his character as something of a lizard man right from the start. \u201cWith Whitney, he’s really a foreign entity to any human being,\u201d Minghella told Men\u2019s Health<\/a> earlier this month. \u201cHe\u2019s such an alien person.\u201d In a Zoom conversation with The Ringer a week and a half ago, Minghella told me that the character on paper felt so unknowable to him that when Industry\u2019s showrunners first said they would love for him to play Whitney, his reaction was: Why?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a really honest and exciting conversation where I sort of outlined a lot of my fears around the part and my excitement around the role,\u201d Minghella said about the manipulative, charming Tender COO with icy ambition and unclear provenance. \u201cI was really intimidated by it and how far away I felt from this character.\u201d Even as he shot Industry, Minghella still wasn\u2019t always sure what Whitney was all about, an insecurity that wound up infusing the performance in unexpected ways. Scenes that he felt he\u2019d played as sincere often later struck him as shifty on-screen. Scenes where he was trying to appear \u201cpurely Machiavellian\u201d instead had \u201csome real humanity and sensitivity,\u201d Minghella thought \u201cIt wasn\u2019t really, honestly, until I watched the show that I started to have a sense of Whitney\u2019s truth,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In \u201cPoints of Emphasis,\u201d though, truth is a toxic asset, not just to Whitney but also to pretty much everyone else. Time and again in the episode\u2014in boardrooms and bedrooms, on private planes and over the phone\u2014characters either insist or are forced to admit that artifice makes for a better investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whitney, beginning to flail against Tender\u2019s certain doom, tells the Pierpoint executive Wilhelmina Fassbinder (Georgina Rich) that if she doesn\u2019t let him speak at their annual meeting, he\u2019ll simply warn Wall Street about \u201cthe undeclared sovereign wealth\u201d propping up her institution. \u201cWell, me saying it is almost as bad as it existing,\u201d he threatens when she protests that no such funding exists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Later, in a cordial but crackling convo between old Pierpoint colleagues Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela) and Harper Stern (Myha\u2019la), Yasmin notes she was \u201ca lone dissenting voice\u201d within Tender who had tried to speak up about the legacy management\u2019s shenanigans. \u201cYou weren\u2019t though, right?\u201d Harper asks. \u201cWhat difference does it make?\u201d Yasmin coos. She has a similar exchange when the politician Jennifer Bevan (Amy James-Kelly) decides she\u2019s not comfortable saving her bacon by feeding the media lies about her mentor, Lisa Dearn (Chloe Pirrie). Upon hearing the word lies, Yasmin corrects Jennifer: \u201cpoints of emphasis,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in this season\u2019s penultimate episode, Harper helps Yasmin launder conjecture into headlines\u2014helping herself, too. Dearn\u2019s governmental career is unceremoniously derailed in spite of the truth. Even the foreign assets carrying out a kidnapping in a hotel parking garage fit the episode\u2019s theme: \u201cJust act like the great lie of your life is not that different from its only truth,\u201d Tender infiltrator Ferdinand Schwarzwald (Nico Rogner) growls at Whitney. The \u201cor else\u201d is implied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next morning, Whitney tries spinning garbage into gab with his passionate, last-stand oratory about why Tender should purchase Pierpoint. \u201cYour company is falling apart!\u201d someone heckles, and for a moment, I wondered whether we were about to see Whitney laughed out of the room, for reality to prevail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, he dodges the facts with a simple \u201cfake news!\u201d and keeps on fibbing on for a little bit longer. One might think that sunlight makes the best disinfectant, as the old saying goes. But one thing about reptiles is that they love to bask in the heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/p>\n

So, what happened in this episode?<\/p>\n

\u201cPoints of Emphasis\u201d kicks off in Henry and Yasmin\u2019s cursed Tender-owned bedroom. Does \u201cTender-owned\u201d mean it\u2019s bugged? Probably, and I do like envisioning some big bad minion tasked with surveilling Mr. and Mrs. Muck\u2019s marital spats. In this one, Yasmin and Henry fret about Whitney\u2019s menacing \u201cguru terrorist manifesto.\u201d Who knew what, and when? What the hell to do now? \u201cI\u2019m not guilty,\u201d pleads Henry. \u201cI don’t think that matters anymore, does it, Henry?\u201d Yasmin snaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We learn that Henry has spent the bulk of their fortune not on drugs\u2014though probably also not not on drugs\u2014but on Tender stock. As Yasmin panics about what that means for their future and Henry moans that society doesn\u2019t understand that he\u2019s a good person striving to be better, dammit, the song \u201cThe Promise\u201d by When in Rome plays. I\u2019m sorry, but I\u2019m just thinking of the right words to say, it goes.<\/p>\n

Henry heads to Tender HQ, where he calls Whitney a reptile and asks why he shouldn\u2019t go to the authorities. Whitney hatches a plan: All they have to do is buy Pierpoint in a hostile takeover, find new accountants, and presto chango: The \u201ctransformational merger\u201d can help hide all of Tender\u2019s malarkey under the cover of a bigger, better balance sheet. If you say so! Henry doesn\u2019t buy it, but unfortunately, he also can\u2019t resist the lure of Whitney saying: \u201cBelieve in us. One more time.\u201d At a board meeting, the two sweet-talk the room into agreeing, and Whitney concludes with a \u201cThank you, everyone\u201d that I swear is in the exact same cadence as \u201cThank you, mommy\u201d from Episode 4, when Haley (Kiernan Shipka) flashes her ass at Yasmin.<\/p>\n

Whitney and Henry fly to New York for the meeting, calling Wilhelmina en route to tell her that they intend to take over her enterprise. (I like her bathrobe, and I also like how Whitney defaults to threatening her while Henry\u2019s chosen tack is all: \u201cAl-Miraj never loved you and had no idea what to do with you.\u201d So tender! Pun not intended, but acknowledged!)<\/p>\n

That night, as Henry tosses and turns in his hotel room, Whitney packs a sensible duffel (footage of his passport\u2019s POV<\/a> here) and tries to get the heck outta dodge. Instead, he\u2019s grabbed by the scruff of his neck by\u2014hey, wait, isn\u2019t that the drifter that Rishi (Sagar Radia) and Dycker (Charlie Heaton) regrettably brought home from the pub?! The plot thickens! It thickens even more when Whit is taken into an SUV to get reamed out, on behalf of Cozy Bear and Co., by the drifter dude (Dez is his name), as well as none other than \u2026 Ferdinand<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the first times, if not the first time, in Industry that we\u2019ve seen Whitney whimpering at the mercy of others. All he wants to do is escape, but all that his handlers want him to do is seal the deal so their overlords back in the motherland can worm their way into Pierpoint\u2019s data on top of everything else. (Not the first time<\/a>, and won\u2019t be the last!) \u201cI think there’s joy in seeing Whitney crumble,\u201d Minghella told me. \u201cThere’s joy in seeing him cowardly. I have a real chuckle when Whitney, after he’s kidnapped in New York, steps out of that Suburban and just looks so pathetic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Whitney also looks pathetic the next day, at the Pierpoint meeting. Watching the episode, I jotted down: \u201cWhitney = clammy AF!\u201d It\u2019s jarring to see such a smooth operator hyperventilate, but Henry knows how to soothe him: \u201cYou need to fucking perform,\u201d he hisses. \u201cDo that thing you do.\u201d (It’s interesting to compare this with the pep talk Eric, played by Ken Leung, gave Harper in the last episode, in which he basically told her not to fuck up. She needs a chip on her shoulder to get things done, whereas Whitney requires an ego massage.) Whitney\u2019s speech is tryhard, cocky, and somehow effective\u2014at least in the moment. He seems to grow more confident with every word, leeching power from the attention of an audience.<\/p>\n

Minghella told me that he had initially assumed he\u2019d get a little bit of a break after last week\u2019s Whitney-heavy episode, \u201cDear Henry.\u201d Quite the opposite. \u201cI do remember being quite surprised that Whitney had so much juicy stuff in Episode 7,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I think what was great about that episode is Whitney is so exhausted at that point and is cracked completely. And Max also was so exhausted that I had cracked completely. \u2026 You can see it in the performance, I think.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

While all of this is taking place, Yasmin\u2014desperate in her own way\u2014has been busy building a Rube Goldberg machine out of any and all levers of power within reach: newspapers, politicians, even Harper. There\u2019s a lot of media-and-politics stuff in this episode. Too much, I say! So I\u2019ll relegate it all to some bullet points:<\/p>\n

The various political operatives\u2014Lisa, Jennifer, and our boy Ricky Martyn with a y (Andrew Sheridan)\u2014argue over who ought to take the blame for the government\u2019s involvement in Tender.\u00a0Jennifer visits Yasmin, Lord Norton (Andrew Havill), and a real weasel of a tabloid editor named Kevin Rawle (Pip Torrens) for a strategy session on how to best shiv her mentor, Lisa, via the press. It goes poorly\u2014Jennifer ultimately doesn\u2019t want to lie but plants some seeds for Yasmin. She may not have found any smoking-gun memo, but that needn\u2019t be the end of her story.Yasmin visits Harper at the hundo-thousand-a-month hotel suite formerly known as SternTao HQ \u201cLonely?\u201d Yasmin asks. \u201cAlways,\u201d Harper says.\u00a0A game of telephone ensues: Yasmin mentions to Harper that she heard rumors that a cautionary memo about Tender was suppressed by a high-ranking minister. Harper doesn\u2019t seem to believe her, but she does need a negative catalyst for her anti-Tender trade \u2026And so Harper meets Edward Burgess (David Wilmot), the FinDigest editor, at a pub to encourage him to float the allegation\u2014even if it\u2019s in a just-asking-questions sort of way. This scene is memorable for three reasons: Burgess lamenting journo Jim Dycker\u2019s death as \u201cthe saddest thing in the world\u2014unfulfilled potential,\u201d Burgess calling Harper out for her bullshit, and Burgess pounding a lot of Guinness while Harper\u2019s pint glass remains full (and a dude fiddles with his fly in the background). (Whitney-esque!)\u00a0\"\"The \u201cred-top\u201d tabloid uses FinDigest\u2019s article as the premise for running a more inflammatory one of its own. And just like that, Dearn is officially scapegoated and forced to resign. It\u2019s never a good sign when one finds oneself quoting Anne Boleyn at the guillotine while at one\u2019s place of business.Yasmin has a tearful phone call with Henry\u2019s uncle (who is sitting at his desk beneath a portrait of himself, as one does) in which they agree that this will all be devastating for Henry but that it\u2019s for the best. \u201cHe\u2019s lived his entire life without any consequences,\u201d argues Yasmin. \u201cWe did everything we can for him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the plane back from New York, Henry has nightmares about his father leaving. \u201cEveryone we love has already started the process of going away\u201d is Whitney\u2019s helpful response. The negative Tender headlines have just hit the press, and Henry panics at Whitney\u2019s calm: \u201cYou can\u2019t construct a universe where nothing\u2019s real!\u201d he rages. \u201cNo one can really live like that!\u201d Whitney glowers at Henry. \u201cDo you know why you can\u2019t regulate your emotions?\u201d he says. \u201cBecause you\u2019re a fucking child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the Flock of Seagulls song \u201cI Ran (So Far Away)\u201d kicks in, more scenes of chaotic conflict unfold. Jennifer receives a delivery of dozens of red roses their petals already beginning to decay, with a note from Lisa calling her a Tory. Henry returns to the Tender offices, where a temp tells him that his wife resigned earlier that day and that Whitney has been \u201cin and out.\u201d He gets a phone call from Wilhelmina informing him that Whitney is a charlatan and that Pierpoint used Tender\u2019s offer to land a different sale of her company, OKbye! And Jennifer calls out Yasmin for a multitude of behaviors, ranging from her little media blitz to her mistreatment of Henry. The phrase \u201cmarriage of convenience\u201d is used.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the episode ends, Harper, Sweetpea (Miriam Petche), and Kwabena (Toheeb Jimoh) celebrate Tender\u2019s imminent downfall before Harper and Yasmin meet up for a big night out and a lot of drunken confessions. So many things in \u201cPoints of Emphasis\u201d are premised on lies, but when the two of them sit at the bar saying things like \u201cI\u2019m so fucking soft\u201d (Yasmin) and \u201cI really resented you for being a breathing example of how I was less\u201d (Harper), it feels like nothing but the truth.<\/p>\n

Turns of Leverage<\/p>\n

On Industry, characters love borrowing trouble\u2014and are always up to double down. Whose bets are paying off this week, and who is in the midst of a downward spiral?<\/p>\n

Leveling up: Harper has a lot to celebrate now that her fund\u2019s biggest\/only investment idea is finally really paying off. But the smoothest operator in \u201cPoints of Emphasis\u201d has to be Wilhelmina. Whitney may have helped bring down Eric, but between last season<\/a> and this one, Wilhelmina has now officially pulled the rug out on both men. She is here to outwit swindlers and chow down on McDonald’s\u2014and now she\u2019s all out of swindlers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Credit crunched? One of my favorite elements of this season has been Henry\u2019s subtle facial expressions, from his aristocratic, tight, \u201cWho the fuck is this guy?\u201d smile toward Moritz-Hunter Bauer (Sid Phoenix) in Episode 3<\/a> to his increasingly furrowed \u201cThis seems sus\u201d looks during the auditor dinner last week. Henry has at times shown himself to be no fool\u2014no one else has roasted both Yasmin and Whitney the way he has!\u2014yet he is also repeatedly played for one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he looks to Whitney, in a sense, like a big brother or father,\u201d Harington told me during a press day at the start of the season. \u201cSomeone who’s successful that has done the thing that he wants to do, being a titan of business, and pulls him out of his failure loop, and he sees as a kind of savior. And then he is thrown under the bus and betrayed.\u201d Near the end of \u201cPoints of Interest,\u201d the look on Henry\u2019s face just says: Welp, I\u2019m fucked.<\/p>\n

On the watch list: Yasmin, that \u201chard bird,\u201d certainly keeps herself busy this episode, ticking off a lot of the items on her to-do list: Call Alexander! Bully Jennifer! Take down her husband! Smooch Harper! But with her marital nest egg scrambled by Tender, it\u2019s unclear how or whether those efforts will hatch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week, during Harper and Whitney\u2019s phone conversation, it had felt for a time like those two were deeply simpatico. But this week, it\u2019s Yasmin who keeps reminding me of the reptile man, both of them cornered animals with silver tongues. Just as Whitney talks up his fake offshore entities and his grandiose plans for a transformational merger, Yasmin fabricates the notion of a damning memo that goes all the way to the top. The smugness on her face as she tells Harper \u201cNo, I think this is the story\u201d chilled me to the bone.<\/p>\n

Tender Offers<\/p>\n

Is that a \u201cprivate banker in your pocket,\u201d or are you just happy to see me? Here\u2019s the latest haps at Tender, the most ambitious \u201cbank killer\u201d in Canary Wharf.<\/p>\n

Day is done, gone the sun? While Tender had a brief dead-cat bounce at the start of the episode thanks to Tony Day\u2019s appearance on CNN, the political headlines have the stock down 77 percent as \u201cPoints of Emphasis\u201d winds to a close. And whether or not the news has hit the tape yet, Pierpoint\u2019s agreement to sell to another institution is the nail in the coffin. Speaking of coffins, something tells me the Russians won\u2019t be happy about how that played out.<\/p>\n

Mergers and Acquisitions<\/p>\n

Activist investor? I hardly know\u2019r! This is a judgment-free zone to discuss emerging corporate synergies in Industry and do our due diligence on who\u2019s doin\u2019 it.<\/p>\n

Most characters were too busy covering their asses in this episode to get any action. But there were still two financial-sexual story lines of note.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, at the Pierpoint annual meeting, we get to see\u2014and see Henry clock\u2014one tangible outcome of the Abu Dhabi romp\/kompromat op that Hayley mentioned last week to Yasmin. \u201cMr. Halberstram\u2019s offer must be heard,\u201d says a compromised Al-Miraj bigwig, pointedly quieting the restless room so that Whitney can better peddle his empty promises. That\u2019s one mission accomplished.<\/p>\n

Second were those final scenes of \u201cPoints of Interest,\u201d sure to pique interest. Harper and Yasmin banter at the bar to Enya, make out on a dance floor to Daft Punk (just a tiny bit, to our knowledge), and plop down on some dirty ground to rip cigs in ripped pantyhose and whisper sweet nothings like: \u201cYou have no idea how good I feel right now.\u201d Girls, same.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"Watch Watch<\/p>\n

Time is a flat circle, ideally powered by quartz. Here, we examine Industry\u2019s tick-tocking timepiece(s) of the week.<\/p>\n

By day, Harper has been wearing a baby-blue-faced TAG Hueur Link Date<\/a> lately. \u201cThat was a new one to this season, which I love,\u201d Myha\u2019la told me a couple of weeks ago. \u201cBut I also have Harper’s watch from, I want to say, Season 2. It’s just, like, a pretty simple Cartier, leather band<\/a>. That’s her nighttime going-out watch, but that’s the one I remember. That’s the one she’s had the longest.\u201d Two fine choices! Still, one tiny detail I enjoyed about \u201cPoints of Emphasis\u201d is that when Harper and Yasmin decide to look after one another and go party like 17-year-olds in a Lorde song, neither of them needs a watch at all to have a good time.<\/p>\n

Get Me the Comps!<\/p>\n

On the one hand, past performance neither guarantees nor predicts future results, as the SEC requires investment firms to remind clients. On the other hand, plus \u00e7a change! Here are some of the real-world stories that might be relevant to Industry\u2019s fictional realm.<\/p>\n

On Industry: At the start of the episode, Tender stock is actually up 10 percent despite Harper\u2019s public outing of the company\u2019s shady practices.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

IRL: Lately I\u2019ve enjoyed following the saga of Carvana, which short-sellers have been banging the drum<\/a> about for years<\/a> but whose stock price is only just now beginning to fall back to earth. (I sure hope this guy was patient<\/a>\/solvent!) I won\u2019t digress into the details too much, other than to say that (a) Hindenburg Research\u2019s takedown<\/a> is a fun adventure and (b) that adventure involves \u2026 Dan Quayle?<\/p>\n

On Industry: Tender tries to buy Pierpoint Al-Miraj.<\/p>\n

IRL: Wirecard tried to buy Deutsche Bank<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

On Industry: Various politicians try to pass the buck about who was bullish on Tender from the start.<\/p>\n

IRL: While it doesn\u2019t map as neatly onto the Industry plot as the Wirecard scandal has, the ongoing story of Rachel Reeves, the U.K.\u2019s \u201cchancellor of the exchequer\u201d (all-time job title?), and her dogged support of the fintech company Revolut contains a lot to ponder, from the phrase \u201ca boot on the neck of business<\/a>\u201d to a visit to HQ<\/a> to a Russian-born, kitesurfing<\/a> CEO.<\/p>\n

On Industry: The Russians note that Whitney made a payment of $120,000 to \u201cSunpath Living Residential Solutions, the johatsu disappearing company in Saitama Prefecture.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

IRL: Lines like this one are why having captions on while watching Industry is an absolute must. Anyway, TIL that in Japan, there are \u201cnight-moving\u201d companies that can help a person \u201cevaporate.\u201d If Whitney had managed to pull this off, I\u2019d have no doubt in my mind that in a few years we\u2019d be getting a sequel to People Who Eat Darkness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Industry: In his speech at the Pierpoint Al-Miraj annual meeting, Whitney compares Tender to the greats: \u201cRailroad to the internet, the history of industry in this country is pockmarked by a slew of disinformation from those who don’t stand to benefit from radical thought or the displacement of worn-out structures.\u201d<\/p>\n

IRL: During a Disney shareholder meeting<\/a> in Philadelphia in 2004, one member of a consortium seeking to oust then-CEO Michael Eisner got up and began: \u201cIt\u2019s fitting that we\u2019re meeting in a city they call \u2018the cradle of liberty.\u2019 After all, what we\u2019re involved in here is a fight for our rights\u2014a fight against the tyranny of a dysfunctional management and an ineffectual board.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Industry: Pierpoint leverages Tender\u2019s offer to close a sale to Temasek instead.<\/p>\n

IRL: Well if this isn\u2019t Industry-core, I don\u2019t know what is.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Open Interest<\/p>\n

What are we left wondering?<\/p>\n

I was intrigued by Yasmin\u2019s reference to Henry hating his mom\u2014not to mention Whitney\u2019s colorful invocation of Henry suckling at her teat\u2014because I\u2019ve been wondering for a while: What is\/was her deal? I probably need to comb back through the lore with a finer-toothed comb, but as far as I can remember, we haven\u2019t learned much about Ma Muck throughout Henry\u2019s two seasons. During one big blowout fight in Episode 2, Yasmin mentions that Lord Norton told her, about Henry\u2019s father, that \u201che frittered everything away and lived here under his brother-in-law’s charity.\u201d So is Henry\u2019s mother Norton\u2019s sister Which brings me to my next question \u2026Why is Norton doing all this? In \u201cPoints of Emphasis,\u201d I don\u2019t quite understand his motivations for always being up to help do Yasmin\u2019s bidding (especially behind Henry\u2019s back). Is this all inheritance and\/or prenup related, or something more?Did Whitney finally flee, or did he get neck-walked into an elevator by Dez and Ferdinand for the last time? It seems meaningful that Whitney told Henry early in the episode that \u201cif you ever see me without [my phone], you can assume I\u2019m dead\u201d and that one of the final scenes is Henry staring at \u2026 the abandoned phone. On the other hand, it also seems meaningful that Whitney has multiple devices, so.\"\"Early in the episode, we see the return of a right-wing politician named Sebastian Stefanowicz (Edward Holcroft), previously glimpsed in the season premiere<\/a>. Will we see him again in the finale?<\/p>\n

What else might we see in the finale? Eagle-eyed observers have noted that Adam Levy, who played Yasmin\u2019s father, Charles Hanani, is in the cast list, which can\u2019t be good\u2014especially considering the way Yasmin teared up while telling Harper that she grew up \u201cat someone\u2019s mercy.\u201d Something more must be brewing with Jennifer Bevan, even if [lowers voice to a whisper] I don\u2019t care. (What I do care about: Sweetpea being shown her dollars.) We\u2019re also due for a little visit from my favorite chaos agent, Hayley. And Yasmin and Henry haven\u2019t crossed paths in a while. \u201cI don’t think Yasmin is equipped to be anyone’s carer,\u201d Abela told me at the start of the season. \u201cYou know, she’s vindictive.\u201d Wherever Industry\u2019s story goes, that\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n
