In the finale of Industry season 3, Eric Tao (Ken Leung) tries to lift the spirits of the Pierpoint & Co. employees after the company is sold to Egyptian investors. He quotes the Denis Johnson short story "The Largesse of the Sea Maiden," saying, "Money tames the beast. Money is peace. Money is civilization. The end of the story is money." While his musings only enrage the traders, whose London office is about to be shuttered, he speaks to the themes of the incredible finale of the must-watch TV series: "The end of the story is always money."
In the final installment of the HBO hit's better-than-ever season (which wrapped up on Sunday, September 29), the core characters who began as juniors on the Pierpoint floor all bought into money, security, and the kind of dealings that fit within their realm of ethics. A lot happened, though, between Harper (Myha'la), Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Robert (Harry Lawtey), and their former coworkers as their old employer imploded and they continued to move on with other ventures and propositions. So, below, we're breaking down what happened in the Industry season 3 finale, which seems to set up the forthcoming season 4.
