It's been secrecy for almost 30 years, the adopted son of Nario Winch
is in the spotlight today following the violent death of his father,
the heir of a multinational group with almost 400 thousand employees worldwide.
Today, Largo Winch is one of the most powerful men on the planet.
But does Largo Winch have what it takes to run an empire of that size?
- All I know is we know nothing about him. - We can only judge on his action.
Calling Cochrane back was an excellent decision.
Dwight Cochrane is a brilliant manager with
a long-standing reputation of his cool-headedness.
- Hey! - Let me do my job!
I'm the one paying for your job. You do what I say.
Customer's always right.
Today, this young man who's appeared from out of nowhere wield considerable power.
But how will he use it, only he... can say for sure.
- I'll meet you down. - Just give me two seconds. Come in.
- See you later, Steve. - Brian.
Don't start.
Hong Kong was without a doubt the place to be today.
Largo Winch had a big surprise for journalists at this press conference.
I have decided to sell the W Group.
The money from this sell will be entirely re-invested in a Nario Winch Foundation.
It will be dedicated to humanitarian projects,
- scientific research... - He's sexy.
...and any good ideas we could come up. - I think he's gonna be a tough one.
So... if you've got any ideas, we're listening.
...the Nario Winch Foundation now has a president, the esteemed Alexander Jung,
former president of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
He shows a frankly youthful enthusiasm
when he speaks of the foundation and its project...
Hong Kong Marine Police, stop immediately!
I repeat, Hong Kong Marine Police, stop immediately!
Back off!
- This is an act of piracy. - Return to your craft.
We're going to carry out a search of the boat.
You're in international waters. We have all the required authorizations.
- Go! - Who're these people?
- Who are you? - We're with the International Criminal Court.
If you're looking for an eraser, it's in the upper left hand drawer.
A sense of humor on top of it.
Only when someone searches my office.
Pandora, that name means anything to you?
A Greek goddess. If my memory's right she possessed the box
which contained all the evils of mankind.
I have another version, more contemporary.
It's about a secret bank account used to
pay off a corrupt Burmese general.
I like my version better.
Mine's not a legend, unfortunately.
In southern Burma, a small minority has been oppressed for years by military junta.
The Karen People.
Three years ago, General Kyaw Min
and his men destroyed the village of Kay Pu.
The villagers were massacred, raped and deported.
Few lucky ones fled into the jungle.
The general led the operation personally.
The village was located on a nickel deposit, which is
why a multinational corporation pays millions of dollars to General Kyaw Min
to clear the village of its inhabitants.
The money for this operation... came from the Pandora account,
which I suspect your father Nario Winch of owning.
My father was no saint, but he wasn't a bastard.
You were in Burma. How long did you spend there?
- Five months. - That's right. You left three years ago,
right after the Kay Pu massacre.
I suspect you of going there on your father's order.
I also suspect you of being an accomplice of this massacre.
The last contact I had with my father was more than three years before he died.
- Someone has informed you. - And your being there was a mere coincidence.
The very day I announce the creation of my foundation
a prosecutor shows up and accuses me of crimes against humanity.
- Do you think that's a coincidence? - A conspiracy theory?
I'm coming.
So that's a door that you have no key. Is that correct?
Inform the Hong Kong Police.
Kay Pu is 30 miles to the north.
They said there is nothing left after we left.
The resistance fighters brought them here.
Kadjang is from here. We grew up together.
Come on!
Thank you, thank you! You are an angel.
You're welcome.
Hi!
I picked them up on the road. Was only a small potato for me.
Hot around here.
Isn't it?
Could I have something to drink before I hit the road?
Oh, thank you!
Ay!
What the hell are you doing here?
- I just bring them... these people. - Ay, what is your business here?
- Do you know General Kyaw Min? - I got nothing to do with all that.
I'm just a driver.
Some guy hired me to drive him around the region for a week.
He's the one who know the general.
Liar!
- I didn't do anything. It's true! - Shit!
You stand out for him
'cos you are just like him.
He has a chance of making it.
But he will never forget.
No one will ever forget.
You can't stay here.
You want me to leave?
What about you?
I'm going to join the resistance. I want to fight.
Fight.
Kadjang will be proud of you.
Go away, Largo.
You have to leave.
- Says who? - Me.
I'm telling you this because I don't...
Then come with me...
if you love me.
I don't love you, Largo.
I don't anything about you.
I don't know who you are, where you come from.
I don't know what you're running from, but I don't want to run with you.
I know who I am, and I know I belong here.
I don't want to see you anymore. Get out of my home!
Now!
You're god of a liar.
I'm sorry, sir. I just can't get off of this assassination.
Freddy'd been working for your father for years.
Miss Pennywinckle,
did my father ever mention a certain Pandora account to you?
Not as I recall.
- But I can check my files. - Yes, please.
Sir, I have nothing about that name.
Thank you.
Three years ago, these massacres took place in eastern Burma,
some 20 miles from the Thai border.
The Karen people living in this area had been oppressed
for years by the military junta in Burma.
It is important to know that this region's south shore
- is particularly rich in various nickels... - I've just spoken to the judge
- in charge of Freddy's case. - Any chances?
This investigation is not going to be an easy one.
Ever, the economic sanctions imposed by the UN
limit commercial dealings with Burma.
Do we have operations in this country, yes or no?
We have no holdings in Burma.
Any projects?
Difficult to say, in any case none to have been denied.
There is no Pandora account. The accusation is based on nothing at all.
Absolutely ridiculous. What? Thank you.
Dan Khongpipat is on the line from Bangkok.
Dan is in charge of the group's interests in the region.
- Hello, everyone. - What news do you have there?
According to my information,
Prosecutor Francken wants to organize a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Winch
and an eyewitness in Thailand.
Looks like our little prosecutor has a hidden trump card.
- Did you hear anything about this, John? - Let me see.
- Who's the witness? - No idea.
Upon Francken's request, an elite Thai police unit
is keeping watch on the witness
day and night in a secret place.
We've received the summons to meet
tomorrow at the United Nations headquarters in Bangkok.
Okay.
- You are not going to comply, are you? - Why not?
Well as your lawyer, I strongly advise you against it.
I want to know who this witness is.
Thai authorities are behind Francken. In Bangkok, you'll be at her mercy.
Largo, let your lawyers do their job, please.
What do we have on the prosecutor?
Well, when she started up at the finance team in the Public Prosecutor's Office in...
Florida, she landed a number of CEOs in jail.
Half that was a flash of lightning.
Her enemies say she has personal scores to settle
because she comes from a wealthy East Coast industrial family.
What... what would work about her?
Miss Pen... Miss Pennywinckle,
do stop crying, and please book two tickets for me to Bangkok.
What about your private jet?
No one but you must know about this trip.
And... and the second ticket is for who?
This is Dwight Cochrane, please leave your message after the beep.
It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Winch.
The witness is on the way.
You're not very talkative today.
You haven't asked me anything.
Don't worry, I will.
Good afternoon, Miss Ang, please have a seat.
Kay Pu case, fact-finding meeting between Miss Malunaļ Ang and Mr. Largo Winch.
Miss Ang, do you know this man?
Yes.
Would you explain your relationship with him?
We lived together for a few months.
I only knew his first name-- Largo.
Can you repeat what you've told me about Mr. Largo Winch's
involvement in the dramatic events at Kay Pu?
Mr. Winch pretended to be a tourist--
a backpacker. But in reality, he was working for his father.
He acted as a go-between for General Kyaw Min
and Nerio Winch.
He told me everything after the massacre. He wanted me to leave with him.
- Malunaļ, look at me, Malunaļ. - I refused.
- Look at me, Malunaļ. - You are trying to intimidate the witness,
- Look at me, Malunaļ! Look at me! - Mr. Winch.
Mr. Winch!
I remained silent for too long.
I owe to them,
to all those who disappeared.
I owe them the truth about you and your father's gifts,
the harm you did.
I must speak.
What do you want? What is that you want exactly?
You want money?
Who's paid you for your lie?
What is this fuckin' crap?
- I told you, you're a goddamn liar! - Don't say that!
Don't say that!
Who do you really work for, Miss Francken?
I work for people like that young woman
so that people like you and groups like your's
can't exploit them and slaughter them for pocket change.
No.
I loved that woman. I lived with these people for months.
They are the most beautiful months of my life.
I'm incapable of doing any harm whatsoever to them.
Come on, you're being played, Miss Francken. The question is by whom.
I have the authority to hold you in custody.
I'll give you time to think it over.
Largo?
- Largo! - Where is she? What did you do with the girl?
- Where is she? - We deported her back to Burma.
Do you know what that means?
She's part of the Karen resistance. She will be executed.
- We did this to help you! - Cancel the order.
It's too late, Mr. Winch.
I don't see...
Largo! Sorry about it.
Largo!
How much did the minister get for this?
How much?
With no witnesses and no proof, there's nothing I can do.
Well, I may have some news that'll cheer you up.
My friends over at the CIA gave me something interesting.
The phones of inners network picked up a call yesterday
from the W Group Building to a bank in Switzerland,
in the conversation during which the word "Pandora" was overheard.
So you haven't seen her for three years?
She disappeared several weeks after you.
I thought she joined you.
No.
Then why did she leave?
I have no idea.
Malunaļ!
- No! - Malunaļ?
My son is in there!
Why did you think I did all that? They took my child away from me!
I'm going to tell you a story, Mr. Winch.
Three years ago, your father's group hired me to do a job.
And I did the job as agreed.
But the second payment that had been promised never came.
Your father refused to pay me.
Do you think that is honest, Mr. Winch?
I think my father should never have paid you a single dollar.
If the three of you want to leave this room alive, you're gonna
have to pay me 25 million dollars.
But I've sold the group. I don't have access to the accounts anymore.
Your must have some money tucked away somewhere...
for when time gets rough.
That's my account number.
25 million dollars.
I will wait for the confirmation.
As soon as I have it, I'll let you go.
Yes.
Hmn, okay.
They can leave. You stay!
Largo! Largo!
General Kyaw Min speaking.
I'll be at the rendezvous.
Your internal channel is perfect. Winch paid.
But... he got away, with the girl and the kid.
We've to take care of Winch ourselves.
That's why you leave the village?
He has your eyes.
But he has his father's smile.
- Why didn't you tell me? - Tell you?
How? Where?
Your first name Largo. That all I knew.
I've raised him alone. And I'll continue to do it.
You don't need to worry.
I'm not worried.
His name is Noom.
What if I have an arrangement.
5,000 dollars.
Look, I pay you in DVDs.
I've got 500. That include the Transformers.
Among civilized people, there is always...
Eh, eh, slow down...
There is no need to hurt your guest.
Good afternoon, Miss. Excuse me for disturbing you.
You're here for the DVDs?
Eh, no. I'm looking for a Mr. Simon Ovronnaz.
Simon, come in.
That's not gonna be okay, Mmn?
Will it be possible for me to settle the gentleman's debt?
A little holiday will do us good.
Sir, excuse me sir, this is a private property, sir.
Do you have any rooms left?
Yes, we have one free left. The price is 3,200 US dollars a night.
May I ask how you'll be paying?
The old-fashion way.
Follow me please.
He seems well-behaved.
- Not always. - It's good.
I told him about you often. You know?
really?
But you don't know anything about me.
Only my first name-- Largo.
I know the color of your eyes.
The sound of your voice.
The scent of your skin.
Your teasing leader's smile.
I know that too.
And I know...
Well, I hope you didn't tell your son that...
How's the water?
Now how is the water?
Cold.
I was a pretty naughty son.
I'm hoping I'll be a better father.
It seems you were right consistently taping their phones.
This time we've got him.
Excuse me, do you have any pancakes?
- Yes, we do. - Thank you.
I still have not received anything. It should have been transferred two days ago.
It will come. Don't worry.
You are the one to be worried.
You have 4 hours.
- Where are you going? - To find the girl.
Let... Let me go!
- Give me time! Give me time! - No, you've already had your time.
- Give me time! No. Give me time! - Why're you running away from here?
- Where the hell is your money? - No I have it.
Where is your money? Where's the money?
Go to hell!
The pretty young woman staff of you?
We will meet her soon.
When I arrived in Bangkok, I'll wire you a million dollars.
No.
You don't want the money?
I don't want your money.
And why? It was your idea!
Blackmail, the girl, and you are here as planned.
Someone is going to pay me, general.
Some who doesn't like you very much.
My father is innocent.
I don't care, Largo. All that counts is you.
What's that?
When they kidnapped us two months ago,
they gave me a shot,
with a sort of syringe, a very big syringe.
Who kidnapped you? Kyaw Min's men?
- No, they were westerners. - Was a woman with them?
Yes, I think so.
- It's too deep.
They put something under your skin.
Get it out!
It's a GPS tag.
Whoever put it there knows exactly where we are.
Our jobs done.
General Kyaw Min is the man responsible for
dozens of deaths of innocent civilians during the massacres at Kay Pu.
We now have unequivocable proof of the
Pandora account which belongs to Mr. Winch.
I have decided therefore to charge Mr. Largo Winch
in complicity with crimes against humanity.
This latest turn of events comes on the back
of rumors that the Winch Group will be bought out by magnate Virgil Nazatchov.
The highly controversial businessman seems to have
found the funds necessary for the operation.
- I want this son of a bitch. - I'll find the tapes of the security cameras.
He came in with his bodyguards. I couldn't do anything.
What the hell are you doing here?
...that Winch's decision to sell the group was made prior to his legal troubles.
Shares have fallen 27% since the charge against Winch,
and it's just the beginning.
Seems Nazatchov is making a fabulous deal beyond anyone's expectations.
I've paid the 5 billion dollar down payment.
The final sale takes place Monday at noon in the Geneva office of Kronberg Partners.
We'll need to re-decorate.
My name is Nazatchov.
Mr. Winch, I have the information your requested.
A Winch Air jet is standing by at the Bangkok Airport.
The crew have rooms at the airport hotel.
Your miracle works as usual. I love you.
Me... Goodbye, Mr. Winch.
Yes, Winch?
Winch! Winch!
- Yes. - Nazatchov.
- I got something. - Me too. Winch is on his way to Geneva.
You fucked up. Considering the money I'm paying you
I'm counting on you to solve the problem as soon as possible.
So, Dwight? I hope you've put your sweater on.
It can get quite chilly in Switzerland too long.
Yes?
Welcome aboard Winch Air, gentlemen.
I hope you don't have stock in the Winch Company.
Not yet. But I was planning on getting some not out of my price range.
We found the guy who received the 7-dollar transfer from Winch.
- Not my type. - Dragan Lazarevic,
former member of the Serb special forces during the Balkan war,
after the war went into private security,
quite successfully judging from his reputation.
Nice credentials.
I wanna know everything he's done in the last month.
I don't know about the last month, but as we speak he's on his way to Geneva.
He'll be landing in one hour.
Yes?
Speaking.
Thank you.
The pilots were found in their hotel room.
Tied up.
Nazatchov has transferred more than 800,000 dollars
to Dragan Lazarevic over the past three months.
Looks like Lazarevic is working for Nazatchov.
But why did Winch send the guy 7 dollars?
To get our attention.
Stop it!
They just made all men dead.
Not in the airplane. Very dangerous.
Let's see.
Simon!
Those are all his men, alright? But Dragan Lazarevic is not here.
- I'll accompany the police for questioning. - Keep me posted.
- Hello. - You work at night.
- Winch. - I hope it's all on my account.
I know you're in Geneva.
My Lord.
The 7-dollar bank transfer to Lazarevic is very clever.
Clever? I was expecting your attention for detail. But I'm wrong.
In any case, you are right about one thing.
You got a lot of enemies.
In our country there is a saying that goes
"A man with no enemy is no man at all."
How's that coffee?
I have something important to ask you. Will you see me?
Third floor. Ring the bell.
Still have to arrest me?
I'd rather invite you for dinner.
My treat. I heard you have tapped out.
Maybe not.
Depend upon you.
In light of these circumstances, there could be no doubt
that Mr. Largo Winch is innocent.
I immediately withdraw all charges against him
for complicity in crimes against humanity.
Within minutes the W Group shares
soared back up to their previous levels.
As a direct impact, rumor has it that
Virgil Nazatchov will no longer be able to buy out the Winch Group.
Today Nazatchov was a ruined man,
in addition, no doubt proceedings will soon be brought against him.
Forgive me for shedding no tears.
But Mr. Cochrane, what would become of
the 5-billion-dollar deposit that Nazatchov has paid.
Largo Winch has decided to turn this money over in full to his foundation.
That like is there any need to sell the group?
You have to ask Largo Winch.
Well, do you know where Largo Winch is right now?
He is right where he is about to be, trust him.
