Ep. 4: “Hide or Seek” with Jason Isaacs and Sarah Catherine Hook

He's going to have nothing. The family have nothing. So I don't think he's spending much time thinking, you know what, maybe I should have made some different choices and I'll be okay. I think he's forced, like the walls closing in on him, and forced to think, can I live without this? Can my children live it?

Ep. 4: “Hide or Seek” with Jason Isaacs and Sarah Catherine Hook

Can any of my children or my wife survive if they had to go and get a job in a shop and rent an apartment or live in public housing? And realizing with horror that none of them are equipped for any of those things. So yes, he's reevaluating, but it's at gunpoint. So it's not the same kind of reevaluation that people are doing around him.

Sure, he does, because he's not had to question it. He's not had to question any of those things. Things came easy to him. He was handed money. He made it into more money. He was handed status. He comes from blue blood. He probably traced his family back to the Mayflower. No, no, I think that he's probably a sensualist in many ways. I think he had all kinds of pleasure.

I don't know if he was getting pleasure from his marriage. It doesn't seem like that's going particularly well, but he gets pleasure from power and status and probably from golf and high adrenaline, gets endorphin released from pushing himself physically all the time and winning. That's why Saxon has so grotesquely misinterpreted the point of life, which is winning.

Saxon tries to dominate women everywhere and dominate his brother because he actually has no power because he works for his dad. He's watched his dad be a winner all the time. So yeah, I think he takes tremendous sensual pleasure from food and drink. He's a bit of a fat cat. I put a bunch of weight on in the show and for the show, and I was comfortable doing that.

I wanted him to be a bit of a kind of chunky fat cat. He goes to the gym a lot, but he also eats a lot and drinks a lot of red wine and all the rest of it. He's got an ample wine cellar, for sure. Yeah, absolutely. I think he indulges in everything, left, right, and center. There's a Henry VIII quality to him. Because the more you do that, the more there is to take away.

No, I think money makes money. You don't have to be illegal, but you do not want to pay any tax. The more rich you get, the less you want to pay tax. I think he is comfortable to get away with whatever he can get away with. I think he's a Darwinist in finance. What you can do, you should do.

He's up for any deal that he can get away with. So yeah, he's done it before. He doesn't make his money out of being crooked. He doesn't have to. He has so much money most of the time that the deals are good. But if the deal happens to break whatever law is there, if no one's going to catch him, that's fine too.

You never know. I don't think it's nearly... Look, you know, it's not... My husband's been operating a Ponzi scheme or something. He's not a crook. He's just got tons of money. He probably... I mean, this is a hedge fund with his own money and other wealthy people around him. And sometimes there you can avoid tax and move things around. And that's what everybody in that world does.
