00:00:17,849 --> 00:00:21,386
Class, if you remember
nothing else from this course,
3
00:00:21,419 --> 00:00:23,488
I want you to remember
this one thing.
4
00:00:25,056 --> 00:00:29,228
Dishonesty, lies, cheating...
5
00:00:30,928 --> 00:00:33,599
You will never get
away with them.
6
00:00:33,632 --> 00:00:35,534
They will always come
back to haunt you,
7
00:00:35,566 --> 00:00:37,636
and you will pay the price.
8
00:00:39,705 --> 00:00:40,707
Yes, Mr. Cranston?
9
00:00:42,041 --> 00:00:43,976
This price that
has to be paid,
10
00:00:44,008 --> 00:00:46,779
I was thinking, Professor
Wrightway, like everything else,
11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,384
shouldn't we ask
if it's worth paying?
12
00:00:51,416 --> 00:00:54,053
I'm not talking about
small-time thievery.
13
00:00:54,086 --> 00:00:55,921
We're business students here.
14
00:00:55,953 --> 00:00:58,757
I'm talking about
something really big,
15
00:00:58,791 --> 00:01:02,294
where you steal or cheat people
out of a lot of money.
16
00:02:21,006 --> 00:02:22,008
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
17
00:02:22,875 --> 00:02:23,910
Zachery.
18
00:02:25,109 --> 00:02:27,846
I just wanted to say
that last night...
19
00:02:28,881 --> 00:02:29,882
Wonderful.
20
00:02:33,751 --> 00:02:35,453
Veronica.
21
00:02:35,487 --> 00:02:37,089
We're in the office
right now, honey.
22
00:02:37,121 --> 00:02:39,125
I like to keep
things professional.
23
00:02:42,627 --> 00:02:44,564
Aren't you gonna
open it, Zachery?
24
00:02:45,231 --> 00:02:46,666
I'm kind of busy right now.
25
00:02:47,899 --> 00:02:50,635
And, please,
don't call me that.
26
00:02:50,668 --> 00:02:54,005
In here, it's either
"Mr. Cranston" or "Sir".
27
00:02:56,742 --> 00:02:57,844
Okay.
28
00:03:07,052 --> 00:03:08,654
ZACHERY: There's no
denying it.
29
00:03:09,554 --> 00:03:10,856
I'm a bastard.
30
00:03:12,156 --> 00:03:14,793
But let's go back
before I had success,
31
00:03:14,827 --> 00:03:16,829
and fame, and money.
32
00:03:19,931 --> 00:03:23,135
It all began with
just my mother and me,
33
00:03:23,167 --> 00:03:25,804
and her candy store,
of course.
34
00:03:30,075 --> 00:03:33,745
Then, she met the man who would
change our lives forever...
35
00:03:35,047 --> 00:03:36,948
Mr. Edwin Murk,
36
00:03:36,982 --> 00:03:39,785
the big investment manager.
37
00:03:39,817 --> 00:03:42,087
The most important
thing in life
38
00:03:42,119 --> 00:03:45,991
is to understand the difference
between good and bad.
39
00:03:48,827 --> 00:03:49,895
Good.
40
00:03:52,064 --> 00:03:53,099
Bad.
41
00:03:58,603 --> 00:03:59,704
Good.
42
00:03:59,738 --> 00:04:02,508
Yes, son.
Well done, well played.
43
00:04:03,007 --> 00:04:04,677
Now, Zachery,
44
00:04:04,709 --> 00:04:09,147
this is a symbol of all
the beautiful things
45
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:10,982
that are gonna happen
in your life.
46
00:04:14,887 --> 00:04:17,723
ZACHERY: I'd always known
Mr. Murk had another life.
47
00:04:18,656 --> 00:04:19,991
And I was curious.
48
00:04:30,736 --> 00:04:34,139
I knew then that one day
I would be like Mr. Murk.
49
00:04:35,774 --> 00:04:38,043
WRIGHTWAY: Lies, cheating,
50
00:04:38,075 --> 00:04:40,712
you will never
get away with it.
51
00:04:40,745 --> 00:04:43,082
They will always come
back to haunt you...
52
00:04:43,115 --> 00:04:45,684
ZACHERY: So, after graduation,
53
00:04:45,716 --> 00:04:48,721
I spent seven years
at Mr. Murk's investment firm,
54
00:04:48,753 --> 00:04:52,957
working my way up
to senior portfolio manager.
55
00:04:52,990 --> 00:04:55,894
Things were good. Very good.
56
00:04:55,928 --> 00:04:57,163
Or so I thought.
57
00:05:03,735 --> 00:05:05,871
Even though your husband
is gone, Mrs. Finnegan,
58
00:05:05,904 --> 00:05:07,005
you can count on me.
59
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:11,243
I can continue to manage
your money for you.
60
00:05:13,878 --> 00:05:15,580
I need to keep this short.
61
00:05:15,613 --> 00:05:16,548
Suffice it to say,
62
00:05:16,582 --> 00:05:18,851
it is time to strike out
in a new direction.
63
00:05:18,884 --> 00:05:20,686
Leave the firm, son.
The sooner, the better.
64
00:05:20,719 --> 00:05:23,187
You too, Mabel,
take your business elsewhere.
65
00:05:23,221 --> 00:05:24,623
ZACHERY: What's going on, sir?
66
00:05:24,656 --> 00:05:26,858
Some nonsense about fraud.
67
00:05:26,892 --> 00:05:28,861
Embezzlement,
money laundering.
68
00:05:28,894 --> 00:05:30,228
Bribery, tax evasion.
69
00:05:30,262 --> 00:05:32,665
Mr. Murk, wait...
I don't understand.
70
00:05:32,697 --> 00:05:34,267
There must be some mistake.
71
00:05:51,283 --> 00:05:55,220
ZACHERY: With Murk Wealth
Management on my resume,
72
00:05:55,252 --> 00:05:58,858
other employers shunned me
like a bad disease.
73
00:05:59,957 --> 00:06:01,960
(LAWNMOWER WHIRRING)
74
00:06:01,993 --> 00:06:05,297
So, I decided to start
my own business.
75
00:06:18,342 --> 00:06:19,344
(SCOFFS)
76
00:06:20,144 --> 00:06:21,714
A wise choice?
77
00:06:24,015 --> 00:06:25,817
I'll tell you what happened...
78
00:06:27,284 --> 00:06:28,921
And you decide.
79
00:06:33,024 --> 00:06:36,262
Hedge fund? (GIGGLES)
That sounds exciting.
80
00:06:37,896 --> 00:06:40,132
What do you think, Gerald?
81
00:06:40,164 --> 00:06:44,068
I still consult my husband
on matters of importance.
82
00:06:44,101 --> 00:06:45,837
You'd be my first client.
83
00:06:48,740 --> 00:06:51,377
Well, Gerald says no.
84
00:06:51,409 --> 00:06:53,344
No hedge fund.
85
00:06:53,377 --> 00:06:55,880
Sorry, dear, he doesn't
want to take any risks.
86
00:06:57,082 --> 00:07:00,118
He can be a bit
of an old woman.
87
00:07:00,151 --> 00:07:01,820
I've already committed
my client's money
88
00:07:01,853 --> 00:07:03,355
to another fund
management company.
89
00:07:03,387 --> 00:07:06,691
How many Masters tournaments
did I take you to? What, five?
90
00:07:06,724 --> 00:07:10,128
(CHUCKLES) That many?
Well, thanks again, by the way.
91
00:07:10,161 --> 00:07:12,864
Experience of a lifetime.
Never forget it.
92
00:07:12,897 --> 00:07:15,200
Won't be the same
going without you.
93
00:07:15,233 --> 00:07:16,300
You're going this year?
94
00:07:16,334 --> 00:07:20,105
As luck would have it,
another company invited me.
95
00:07:20,137 --> 00:07:22,007
That wouldn't, by chance,
be the same company
96
00:07:22,039 --> 00:07:24,308
you committed your client's
money to now, would it?
97
00:07:24,341 --> 00:07:28,113
You know, I... I believe it is.
98
00:07:29,281 --> 00:07:31,150
You ready for this? All right.
99
00:07:34,185 --> 00:07:35,787
Ah, yes!
100
00:07:35,820 --> 00:07:37,321
Game time. Whoo!
101
00:07:37,354 --> 00:07:39,691
(LAUGHING)
102
00:07:39,724 --> 00:07:41,392
(SIGHS)
103
00:07:41,425 --> 00:07:44,096
(SIGHS) So you're starting
up a new hedge fund.
104
00:07:44,128 --> 00:07:46,898
Yes. Always wanted
my own business.
105
00:07:46,932 --> 00:07:49,802
You know, no boss,
no partners to answer to.
106
00:07:49,834 --> 00:07:53,272
And that means I can cut you
a damn good break on fees.
107
00:07:53,305 --> 00:07:54,906
Forget about it, Cranston.
108
00:07:54,940 --> 00:07:57,409
I've already transferred
my account over to Amanda.
109
00:07:57,442 --> 00:08:00,079
She's got me hooked up
on one of those hot, new issues.
110
00:08:02,781 --> 00:08:04,450
Congrats on
the new gig, Amanda.
111
00:08:04,483 --> 00:08:05,451
That didn't take long.
112
00:08:05,483 --> 00:08:08,252
Dryesdale Ferrit's been after me
for a long time.
113
00:08:08,286 --> 00:08:09,855
I bet.
114
00:08:09,887 --> 00:08:11,856
And hey, what about your news?
115
00:08:11,889 --> 00:08:14,425
I hear you're starting
your own firm.
116
00:08:14,459 --> 00:08:18,297
Yeah. To tell you the truth,
it's been difficult.
117
00:08:20,264 --> 00:08:23,736
Hard to find clients when
you don't have a track record,
118
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:26,172
and it's difficult to get
a track record without clients.
119
00:08:28,373 --> 00:08:30,041
I don't suppose
you have any leads
120
00:08:30,075 --> 00:08:32,111
or a bone or two
to throw at me.
121
00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:41,119
"Magnus Hardcastle?"
122
00:08:42,253 --> 00:08:44,223
He's super wealthy.
123
00:08:44,256 --> 00:08:46,459
But my firm refused
to take him on.
124
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,328
Why? What's wrong with him?
125
00:08:57,201 --> 00:09:01,105
I didn't make the fortune
that I have today
126
00:09:01,138 --> 00:09:03,743
worrying about ethics.
127
00:09:05,075 --> 00:09:07,945
If there's one thing
that I've learned, Cranston,
128
00:09:07,978 --> 00:09:10,916
it's the value of shit.
129
00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:12,151
"Shit," sir?
130
00:09:13,417 --> 00:09:16,121
Stuff nobody wants
or wants to do.
131
00:09:17,088 --> 00:09:19,190
It's made me a wealthy man.
132
00:09:19,224 --> 00:09:21,259
Foreclosures,
wasn't it, Mr. Hardcastle?
133
00:09:21,292 --> 00:09:23,262
That's right.
134
00:09:23,295 --> 00:09:28,065
Bankers today,
bunch of gutless wimps.
135
00:09:28,099 --> 00:09:30,469
They need people like me
136
00:09:30,502 --> 00:09:33,137
to take care of all
the messy stuff for 'em.
137
00:09:33,171 --> 00:09:35,440
ZACHERY: But you moved on.
Sold your business.
138
00:09:35,473 --> 00:09:36,641
HARDCASTLE: That's right.
139
00:09:36,674 --> 00:09:42,247
And the last thing I want
is to leave my money in a bank.
140
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,185
I didn't make the kind
of fortune that I have today
141
00:09:46,218 --> 00:09:48,521
trusting those fat-ass bankers.
142
00:09:50,222 --> 00:09:51,557
(SIGHS)
143
00:09:53,157 --> 00:09:55,893
Well, sir, that's why I'm here.
144
00:09:55,926 --> 00:09:57,461
I'd like to manage
your fortune.
145
00:09:57,494 --> 00:10:01,299
I want a real son of a bitch
handling my loot,
146
00:10:01,333 --> 00:10:04,203
note some wine-sippin'
number cruncher.
147
00:10:04,235 --> 00:10:06,304
You don't have to worry
about that, sir.
148
00:10:06,338 --> 00:10:10,041
I'm prepared to get
my hands very, very dirty.
149
00:10:10,075 --> 00:10:12,477
In fact, I'm starting
a new hedge fund
150
00:10:12,509 --> 00:10:13,578
that will focus
on the kind of business
151
00:10:13,612 --> 00:10:15,214
I think that you'll like.
152
00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:18,883
Weapons, gambling,
pornography, pollution.
153
00:10:18,916 --> 00:10:21,485
Now you're talking my language.
154
00:10:21,518 --> 00:10:22,954
(CHUCKLES)
155
00:10:22,988 --> 00:10:24,223
BUTLER: Excuse me, sir.
156
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:27,025
I think you'll find this
more to your liking.
157
00:10:27,057 --> 00:10:28,526
Why, what's wrong
with this bottle?
158
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:29,627
It's poisoned, sir.
159
00:10:29,661 --> 00:10:31,229
You bastard!
160
00:10:31,262 --> 00:10:33,297
I'm going to make you pay.
161
00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:34,199
(THUDDING)
162
00:10:34,232 --> 00:10:36,334
She claims you
foreclosed on her mother.
163
00:10:36,368 --> 00:10:37,268
(MAID SCREAMING, GRUNTING)
164
00:10:37,302 --> 00:10:40,205
I foreclosed on lots
of people's mother.
165
00:10:42,107 --> 00:10:44,309
Take it from me, son.
166
00:10:44,342 --> 00:10:48,413
There's no surer sign
of a great business
167
00:10:48,445 --> 00:10:50,983
than having people
try to kill you.
168
00:10:52,249 --> 00:10:54,018
I'll tell you what.
169
00:10:54,051 --> 00:10:56,321
I like the sound
of this new fund of yours.
170
00:10:58,189 --> 00:11:00,925
I'll set you up
with a million bucks.
171
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:02,127
Mmm?
172
00:11:04,662 --> 00:11:07,265
ZACHERY: With my first
client finally on board,
173
00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:10,369
all I needed to do
was make some good investments.
174
00:11:10,401 --> 00:11:13,238
MAN: The other investors
were put off by the mosquitoes.
175
00:11:13,271 --> 00:11:14,506
Well, that or the snakes.
176
00:11:14,539 --> 00:11:16,141
ZACHERY: Made a major

Actually, as fate would have it,
353
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,484
I'm looking for a new
auditor for my hedge fund.
354
00:19:46,517 --> 00:19:48,585
- Is that so?
- Yes.
355
00:19:48,619 --> 00:19:52,891
You see, I find that most
accountants are so literal,
356
00:19:53,490 --> 00:19:56,460
so lacking in imagination.
357
00:19:56,494 --> 00:19:58,430
Well, my family said
358
00:19:58,462 --> 00:20:00,699
that I should always
have been an artist.
359
00:20:02,132 --> 00:20:04,469
I would like
my fund's financials
360
00:20:04,501 --> 00:20:07,873
to be more than a mere mundane
reporting of actual fact.
361
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:11,876
My first degree
was in literature.
362
00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:15,914
My favorite genre was fantasy.
363
00:20:15,947 --> 00:20:17,482
(SOFTLY) Fantasy.
364
00:20:17,515 --> 00:20:18,784
(CHUCKLES)
365
00:20:22,586 --> 00:20:23,921
Veronica.
366
00:20:23,955 --> 00:20:26,591
So good to see you.
367
00:20:26,623 --> 00:20:28,427
How much do you know
about hedge funds?
368
00:20:29,626 --> 00:20:31,195
Not very much, sir.
369
00:20:31,228 --> 00:20:33,198
That's excellent.
You can start right away.
370
00:20:34,565 --> 00:20:35,967
VERONICA: Oh.
(CHUCKLES)
371
00:20:36,968 --> 00:20:38,469
ZACHERY: Yes.
372
00:20:38,503 --> 00:20:41,005
I think you're gonna
work out very well.
373
00:20:41,037 --> 00:20:42,440
(CHUCKLES)
374
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:47,912
Nice touch.
375
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,189
WILFRED: No one can know
or suspect what we're doing.
376
00:20:58,221 --> 00:21:00,525
Not even your assistant,
Veronica.
377
00:21:00,557 --> 00:21:03,094
All right, listen up.
378
00:21:03,126 --> 00:21:08,665
This is what your
clients want, correct?
379
00:21:08,699 --> 00:21:12,103
And this is what you've been
getting for them, correct?
380
00:21:13,904 --> 00:21:16,773
Okay, so, here's the key.
381
00:21:16,806 --> 00:21:18,943
This part, right here.
382
00:21:20,978 --> 00:21:23,948
We need a structure
that raises no alarms.
383
00:21:23,980 --> 00:21:26,584
It starts with the folks
holding the fund's assets.
384
00:21:26,616 --> 00:21:28,752
Right now, you've got what,
a single prime broker
385
00:21:28,786 --> 00:21:30,622
with custody
of everything, correct?
386
00:21:30,654 --> 00:21:31,922
We need to fix that.
387
00:21:31,956 --> 00:21:34,926
No one can ever see
the whole picture.
388
00:21:34,959 --> 00:21:38,662
We need multiple prime brokers,
each holding only a small piece.
389
00:21:38,696 --> 00:21:40,899
Then, we need
an investment strategy,
390
00:21:40,931 --> 00:21:43,668
something that
nobody understands.
391
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:47,005
I recommend derivatives,
options, futures, swaps.
392
00:21:47,037 --> 00:21:48,539
Know anything about them?
393
00:21:51,308 --> 00:21:52,776
They're complicated.
394
00:21:52,809 --> 00:21:55,113
Exactly. That's why
they're perfect.
395
00:21:55,145 --> 00:21:59,883
And... Trades.
396
00:21:59,917 --> 00:22:02,654
Lots and lots of trades.
397
00:22:02,687 --> 00:22:05,823
I want to see pages
and pages of them.
398
00:22:05,855 --> 00:22:08,325
We should have so many
damn transactions
399
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,228
that anyone nosy enough
to investigate
400
00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:12,763
will be buried under
an avalanche of detail.
401
00:22:12,796 --> 00:22:16,834
(LAUGHS) Brilliant!
402
00:22:16,866 --> 00:22:18,769
ZACHERY: Wilfred was
doing great work.
403
00:22:20,071 --> 00:22:23,007
Now it was time to win back
my old client.
404
00:22:25,910 --> 00:22:28,046
Cranston, what are you
doing here?
405
00:22:28,078 --> 00:22:30,315
Oh, forgive me
for interrupting, Jasper.
406
00:22:30,347 --> 00:22:32,783
I was hoping we might
get in a few holes together.
407
00:22:32,816 --> 00:22:35,319
Well, as you could see,
I'm already committed.
408
00:22:35,353 --> 00:22:37,322
Oh, this isn't purely social.
409
00:22:37,354 --> 00:22:40,223
Dick here is the president
of Forthright Funds.
410
00:22:40,257 --> 00:22:42,294
His firm's handling
my client's money now.
411
00:22:43,193 --> 00:22:45,829
Heard a lot about
your firm, Mr. "Urine."
412
00:22:45,863 --> 00:22:47,164
Uren, actually.
413
00:22:47,198 --> 00:22:49,132
ZACHERY: I'm surprised
to see you out here.
414
00:22:49,165 --> 00:22:51,168
If my results
were anything like yours,
415
00:22:51,201 --> 00:22:53,103
I'm not so sure I'd be out here
working on my golf swing.
416
00:22:53,136 --> 00:22:54,137
You little prick.
417
00:22:54,171 --> 00:22:56,239
JASPER: I hate to say it,
Dick, but he's right.
418
00:22:56,273 --> 00:22:57,875
Your results are crap.
419
00:22:57,908 --> 00:22:59,911
Come on, Jasper, I know things
haven't worked out
420
00:22:59,943 --> 00:23:01,878
since you came on board,
but over time,
421
00:23:01,911 --> 00:23:05,248
my firm's record after adding
back fees and adjusting for risk
422
00:23:05,282 --> 00:23:07,218
and relative
to our peer universe,
423
00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:08,418
it's solid. Pretty solid.
424
00:23:08,451 --> 00:23:11,088
How's that compared to the 20%
per year I've been making?
425
00:23:11,122 --> 00:23:14,392
Hoo-hoo, 20% is
a hell of a nice number, Dick.
426
00:23:14,424 --> 00:23:15,659
Okay, numbers aren't everything.
427
00:23:15,692 --> 00:23:16,794
True.
428
00:23:16,827 --> 00:23:19,296
That's why I prepared a little
package for you, Jasper.
429
00:23:19,330 --> 00:23:20,365
How's it sound?
430
00:23:20,398 --> 00:23:23,368
Private jet to Augusta,
tickets to the Masters,
431
00:23:23,401 --> 00:23:24,669
two hostesses,
432
00:23:24,702 --> 00:23:28,172
and an invitation to the E-Z-GO
Golf Park cocktail reception.
433
00:23:29,172 --> 00:23:30,909
You can get into that?
434
00:23:31,609 --> 00:23:33,845
We've got work
to do, Martin.
435
00:23:33,878 --> 00:23:36,114
Anything to do with investments,
436
00:23:36,913 --> 00:23:38,749
no one can see it.
437
00:23:39,749 --> 00:23:42,753
Except Internet firearms,
438
00:23:42,786 --> 00:23:44,822
bankrupt gold mine.
439
00:23:44,854 --> 00:23:46,857
This stuff is perfect.
440
00:23:46,891 --> 00:23:48,892
Perfect to keep
Veronica occupied.
441
00:23:52,363 --> 00:23:55,799
You son of a bitch, Cranston!
442
00:23:55,833 --> 00:23:58,902
Back fees,
adjusting for risk. It's solid!
443
00:23:58,936 --> 00:24:00,005
It's solid!
444
00:24:08,411 --> 00:24:10,681
Dear investor, good news.
445
00:24:10,715 --> 00:24:13,151
I am happy to report
an exceptional increase
446
00:24:13,183 --> 00:24:15,987
in the value of your holdings
in the Cranston Fund.
447
00:24:16,019 --> 00:24:18,855
The key to these strong results?
448
00:24:18,889 --> 00:24:21,159
Complex derivatives strategies
449
00:24:21,191 --> 00:24:23,995
such as the double
diagonal spread,
450
00:24:24,027 --> 00:24:25,697
the roller coaster swap,
451
00:24:25,729 --> 00:24:27,397
the reverse iron albatross,
452
00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:31,036
and, of course,
the swaption collar.

00:24:34,104 --> 00:24:35,806
So beautiful,

discreet private banks

457
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,089
and your fund
has come to our attention.

I'm delighted to hear that,
Fraulein Stumpf.
459

FRAULEIN: Its performance
is remarkable.
460
00:24:56,494 --> 00:24:58,362
Well, thank you.
461

in making an investment.

Mr. Karamazov before.

miss you here at the Commission.

so thin, it's crazy.

to catch the next fraud artist.

I had a new job.

who request their money back.

Thanks, Melanie.

Short-term, we're range-bound.
518
00:28:29,472 --> 00:28:31,075
But let me be clear.
519
00:28:31,107 --> 00:28:32,609
This is a cyclical bull market

or maybe the downside.

Dr. Helen. (CHUCKLES)
706
00:42:30,846 --> 00:42:33,082
Thank you for this tour.
Means a lot to me.
707
00:42:33,116 --> 00:42:35,418
- Of course.
- No, I really mean it.
708
00:42:35,451 --> 00:42:38,421
You see, in my work,
I have to do things,
709
00:42:38,453 --> 00:42:41,323
sometimes unpleasant things.
710
00:42:41,357 --> 00:42:43,826
But when I'm here with you,
711
00:42:43,859 --> 00:42:48,131
it makes me think what I do,
maybe it's worthwhile after all.
712
00:42:49,464 --> 00:42:52,935
You know, all important work
has its unsavory side.
713
00:42:52,968 --> 00:42:54,570
Even ours.
714
00:42:54,603 --> 00:42:56,540
Some things that happen
at this hospital
715
00:42:56,573 --> 00:42:58,808
can be very unpleasant.
716

of your outstanding generosity
717
00:43:05,948 --> 00:43:08,984

of the Cranston Heart Center,
718
00:43:09,018 --> 00:43:10,187
we thank you.
719
00:43:16,426 --> 00:43:20,462
The only reward I require
is the knowledge
720
00:43:20,495 --> 00:43:24,600
that with my donation,
I've added to human happiness.
721
00:43:24,634 --> 00:43:28,905

this beautiful tribute

in the trenches.

to save so many lives.

00:43:54,364 --> 00:43:56,266
Here. Take this.
726
00:43:56,299 --> 00:44:01,304
Doctor, I just want you
to know that your hospital
727
00:44:01,337 --> 00:44:04,007
can rely on my
continued support.
728

If there's anything
at all you need...
729
00:44:07,509 --> 00:44:10,379
As a matter of fact,
we're in desperate need
730

is running low on funds,
732
00:44:16,652 --> 00:44:19,589

for an angel investor.

00:44:20,489 --> 00:44:22,225

734
00:44:22,257 --> 00:44:24,493
Well, you've come
to the right person.

spoke very highly of you,

737

He said that you can be
relied upon to be discreet.

You see, our auditor
is not available anymore.
739
00:44:41,544 --> 00:44:43,246
And we need someone
to take over
740
00:44:43,279 --> 00:44:45,547
to certify our
financial statements.
741
00:44:45,580 --> 00:44:47,683
Is that something
you'd be willing to consider?
742
00:44:47,716 --> 00:44:49,485
(LAUGHS) What's to consider?
743
00:44:49,518 --> 00:44:52,221
You know, I never saw
such gorgeous numbers.

00:44:52,689 --> 00:44:53,690
Listen to me.
745
00:44:53,723 --> 00:44:57,227

I've gotta hand it
to you, Zachery.

has turned out okay so far.

you got here.

I always feel there's something
spiritual about these woods.

Mr. Cranston, we got a guy
who places you and Mr. Abacus
768
00:46:56,478 --> 00:46:58,480
up here together
the day he went poof.
769
00:46:58,513 --> 00:47:00,816
I told you.
I invited Martin for lunch.

Well, this witness,
the guy who saw you,
771
00:47:03,285 --> 00:47:05,187
says he saw you walk
through a field together
772
00:47:05,221 --> 00:47:07,489
and disappear
into these here woods.
773
00:47:07,522 --> 00:47:09,758
My neighbor, birdwatcher.
774
00:47:09,792 --> 00:47:11,161
That's your source?
775
00:47:12,495 --> 00:47:15,232
We also got a report
of gunshots just after.
776
00:47:17,866 --> 00:47:19,602
The only thing worse
than birdwatchers
777
00:47:19,634 --> 00:47:21,138
are the damn hunters.
778
00:47:22,772 --> 00:47:26,476

to get rid of them.

This witness,
781
00:47:31,747 --> 00:47:34,483
he also says that sometime
after the gunshots,
782
00:47:34,517 --> 00:47:36,185
he saw you walk home alone.

Lieutenant Drake, what exactly
are you looking for?
784

That's right.
786
00:47:46,395 --> 00:47:48,832
Got one of those
metal detectors.
787
00:47:48,864 --> 00:47:50,165
I found quite a few pieces
788

around the place.

I'm sure we can sort
these things out.

everything was in order.

Ah, Mr. Cranston,
881
00:52:47,763 --> 00:52:49,498
I see you made it here
ahead of us.
882
00:52:49,531 --> 00:52:52,033
Yes. I thought I might be
able to answer any questions
883
00:52:52,067 --> 00:52:53,136
you might have.
884
00:52:53,169 --> 00:52:55,805
And this, I take it,
is Mr. Tucci?
885
00:52:55,837 --> 00:52:57,172
ZACHERY: Yes.

FRAULEIN: I won't waste
time, Mr. Tucci.
888
00:53:01,710 --> 00:53:05,548
I have certain reservations
about Mr. Cranston's accounts.
889
00:53:05,580 --> 00:53:09,751
And I'm here to understand how
thoroughly, you, as his auditor,
890
00:53:09,785 --> 00:53:11,053
have reviewed them.
891
00:53:11,085 --> 00:53:14,790
Sure, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Have a seat, Ms., uh...

893
00:53:16,859 --> 00:53:18,161
Ouch.
894
00:53:18,194 --> 00:53:21,531
It's an unfortunate moniker.
895
00:53:21,564 --> 00:53:25,768
Can't help noticing
that you're working here alone.
896
00:53:25,801 --> 00:53:27,737
I got a gal who comes in
a couple of times a week.
897

(CHUCKLES)
898
00:53:29,605 --> 00:53:31,974
And your premises
are a little,
899

shall I say, rudimentary.
(SPRITZES BOTTLE)

Well, yeah, I like to keep
the overhead low.

(FRAULEIN RUBS HANDS TOGETHER)
Forgive me for saying this,
902
00:53:41,649 --> 00:53:44,686
but I find myself wondering
why Mr. Cranston
903
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,989
would hire you
to audit his fund.
904
00:53:47,589 --> 00:53:48,658
Oh.
905
00:53:49,225 --> 00:53:51,093
FRAULEIN: Quite.
906
00:53:51,125 --> 00:53:53,930
You're not one
of the major accounting firms.
907
00:53:53,962 --> 00:53:55,698
TUCCI: You know, personally,
908
00:53:55,730 --> 00:53:59,134
I never understood why anyone
would hire those big firms.
909
00:53:59,167 --> 00:54:00,669

out... They're out playing golf.

is what you get.
913
00:54:07,710 --> 00:54:09,879
Hmm. Precisely.
914
00:54:09,911 --> 00:54:12,047
And what I see
915
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,216
is not exactly someone
916
00:54:14,250 --> 00:54:16,853
who wrote the textbook
on modern accounting.

I have to confess.
I am surprised.
922
00:54:49,084 --> 00:54:51,087
This book is something
I would expect
923
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:52,555
from a Harvard professor.
924
00:54:52,922 --> 00:54:54,223
Fair enough.
925
00:54:54,256 --> 00:54:57,960
This does go back a ways
to my teaching days.

00:54:59,627 --> 00:55:01,530
You were an academic?
927

You don't strike me
as the college type.

I know what you mean.
929
00:55:07,937 --> 00:55:10,672
You know, those places,
they're way too buttoned-down.
930

- Too many rules.
- Rules, yeah.

Yeah, no, I make good money.

That sounds very impressive.
940

And the best part,
I got freedom, independence.
941
00:55:34,629 --> 00:55:36,631
I can handpick
the people I audit.
942
00:55:36,665 --> 00:55:38,768
People of integrity.

01:02:17,732 --> 01:02:20,068
Take care of the downside first
1054
01:02:20,102 --> 01:02:22,103
and let the upside
look after itself.
1055
01:02:22,136 --> 01:02:24,038
But there's a catch.
1056
01:02:24,071 --> 01:02:27,276
When the funds get too big,
too successful,
1057
01:02:27,308 --> 01:02:29,178
when they receive
too much money,
1058
01:02:29,210 --> 01:02:31,046
well, the returns can suffer.
1059
01:02:33,114 --> 01:02:34,750
Veronica.
1060
01:02:34,783 --> 01:02:36,317
Over the next month,
1061
01:02:36,350 --> 01:02:38,553
things could get a little
sticky around here.
1062
01:02:38,587 --> 01:02:39,622
VERONICA: Oh.
1063
01:02:39,654 --> 01:02:42,725
ZACHERY: There are
some technical issues, details.
1064
01:02:42,757 --> 01:02:45,194
Things about the way
we've been running the business.
1065
01:02:45,227 --> 01:02:46,428
Paperwork stuff.
1066
01:02:46,462 --> 01:02:49,698
Anyway, Wilfred here is gonna
be going through our records
1067
01:02:49,730 --> 01:02:51,632
and making sure everything
is shipshape.
1068
01:02:51,665 --> 01:02:53,602
WILFRED: Just make sure
the shredder is working.
1069
01:02:53,634 --> 01:02:55,770
And that's why it's imperative
that you consider
1070
01:02:55,803 --> 01:02:58,573
increasing your allocation
to the Cranston Fund now
1071
01:02:58,607 --> 01:03:00,275
before the end of this month.
1072
01:03:00,308 --> 01:03:01,409
Because after that,
1073
01:03:01,442 --> 01:03:05,348
I'm afraid I won't be accepting
any new investment.
1074
01:03:06,580 --> 01:03:08,416
I want to say I'm sorry
1075
01:03:08,450 --> 01:03:12,254
for how I've been
a little distracted lately.
1076
01:03:12,286 --> 01:03:14,223
But after this little bit
of a thing that we're here in
1077
01:03:14,256 --> 01:03:16,524
gets cleaned up,
1078
01:03:16,558 --> 01:03:20,262
I'm gonna show you just
how much I appreciate you.
1079
01:03:20,294 --> 01:03:24,499
Because, Veronica,
I really do appreciate you.
1080
01:03:25,667 --> 01:03:27,335
We'll have dinner.
1081
01:03:27,835 --> 01:03:29,205
That's a promise.
1082
01:03:34,308 --> 01:03:37,278
Your offer to continue
managing the Hardcastle donation
1083
01:03:37,312 --> 01:03:38,748
is most kind.
1084
01:03:39,346 --> 01:03:42,283
But, alas,
1085
01:03:42,317 --> 01:03:44,620
the entire amount
is already committed
1086
01:03:44,652 --> 01:03:47,388
to our institute's expansion.
1087
01:03:47,422 --> 01:03:50,592
So, at the end of the month,
1088
01:03:50,625 --> 01:03:52,094
we will be needing it.
1089
01:03:52,761 --> 01:03:54,230
All of it.
1090
01:03:55,596 --> 01:03:56,698
More tea?
1091
01:03:58,632 --> 01:04:00,468
Come on, what do you say?
1092
01:04:00,502 --> 01:04:03,505
Tax man, Cranston.
I'm afraid he outranks you.
1093
01:04:03,538 --> 01:04:04,806
(GRUNTS) Oh.
1094
01:04:04,839 --> 01:04:06,107
Yeah!
1095
01:04:06,707 --> 01:04:08,543
Oh, come on.
1096
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,483
No can do, Cranston.
No more money.
1097
01:04:15,049 --> 01:04:17,452
I'm leaving the industry.
1098
01:04:17,486 --> 01:04:20,656
Breach of fiduciary duty,
they called it.
1099
01:04:24,125 --> 01:04:26,594
I'll always remember
those Masters tournaments.
1100
01:04:27,796 --> 01:04:29,330
(SOBBING)
1101
01:04:29,364 --> 01:04:31,333
FRAULEIN:
Regrettably, Mr. Cranston,
1102
01:04:31,366 --> 01:04:34,303
my client's occupation
was very high-risk,
1103
01:04:34,335 --> 01:04:37,538
and he's no longer in a position
to make further investments.
1104
01:04:37,571 --> 01:04:38,774
Oh, Fraulein...
1105
01:04:38,806 --> 01:04:41,377
Mr. Karamazov is dead.
1106
01:04:46,714 --> 01:04:47,816
Oh, my...
1107
01:04:53,888 --> 01:04:57,358
Well, yes, of course,
we'd be very interested
1108
01:04:57,392 --> 01:05:00,194
in having you manage some
of our endowment.
1109
01:05:00,227 --> 01:05:01,696
Uh, perhaps you can present
1110
01:05:01,730 --> 01:05:04,366
at our next investment
committee meeting.
1111
01:05:04,399 --> 01:05:05,868
When is that?
1112
01:05:05,901 --> 01:05:08,402
Um, three months time.
1113
01:05:08,435 --> 01:05:10,439
Three months?
1114
01:05:10,471 --> 01:05:13,142
Is there any chance you can
make it a little sooner?
1115
01:05:13,174 --> 01:05:15,877
Uh, well, I can speak
to our committee chair.
1116
01:05:15,910 --> 01:05:17,845
- Of course.
- Who's that?
1117
01:05:17,879 --> 01:05:19,348
Dick Uren.
1118
01:05:19,381 --> 01:05:20,915
You must know him.
1119
01:05:20,948 --> 01:05:23,784
He's head
of Forthright Funds.
1120
01:05:23,817 --> 01:05:26,522
You may get away
with dishonesty for a while,
1121
01:05:26,555 --> 01:05:27,890
but in the end...
1122
01:05:27,922 --> 01:05:31,392
In the end, you will
always pay the price.
1123
01:05:31,426 --> 01:05:32,527
Fucker!
1124
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:33,562
(GRUNTING)
1125
01:05:35,397 --> 01:05:38,366
DICK: My performance was solid!
(CONTINUES SWEARING)
1126
01:05:38,399 --> 01:05:39,667
Dr. Cranston?
1127
01:06:30,352 --> 01:06:31,987
Mrs. Finnegan.
1128
01:06:32,020 --> 01:06:35,524
Well, you know, I was Mr. Murk's
secretary for many years.
1129
01:06:35,556 --> 01:06:36,725
Yes, of course.
1130
01:06:36,757 --> 01:06:38,326
And he and I...
1131
01:06:43,364 --> 01:06:45,399
Of course, Gerald never knew,
1132
01:06:45,433 --> 01:06:48,603
but Mr. Murk and I had a bond
1133
01:06:48,636 --> 01:06:51,305
that was nothing like
what he had with your mother.
1134
01:06:51,339 --> 01:06:53,007
He truly loved her.
1135
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,477
With me, it was just sex.
1136
01:06:57,779 --> 01:06:59,481
Um...
1137
01:06:59,513 --> 01:07:01,349
Tell me about Mammon Trust.
1138
01:07:01,382 --> 01:07:05,654
Mmm. That's a name
I heaven't heard in years.
1139
01:07:05,687 --> 01:07:10,558
Uh, it was a small bank
on one of the channel islands.
1140
01:07:10,591 --> 01:07:12,426
Saint something or other...
1141
01:07:12,460 --> 01:07:13,562
St. Euripides.
1142
01:07:13,594 --> 01:07:15,464
MABEL: Yes, that's it.
1143
01:07:15,497 --> 01:07:16,864
There were bank accounts,
1144
01:07:16,897 --> 01:07:19,734
and a safety deposit
box, I believe.
1145
01:07:19,768 --> 01:07:21,637
Yes, I'm sure of it.
1146
01:07:21,669 --> 01:07:24,438
Mr. Murk didn't want
any assets traceable to him,
1147
01:07:24,471 --> 01:07:26,908
so everything was in my name.
1148
01:07:26,940 --> 01:07:30,011
Everything at Mammon Trust
was for your mother.
1149
01:07:31,812 --> 01:07:32,814
Yeah.
1150
01:07:33,415 --> 01:07:34,983
He really did love her.
1151
01:07:35,015 --> 01:07:36,284
MABEL: Mmm.
1152
01:07:37,785 --> 01:07:39,587
Yes, now that I think of it,
1153
01:07:39,620 --> 01:07:41,722
you should probably
have it, dear.
1154
01:07:41,756 --> 01:07:44,359
Oh, he was terribly
fond of you, you know.
1155
01:07:45,893 --> 01:07:48,596
I don't suppose you have
any idea what's there.
1156
01:07:48,629 --> 01:07:51,832
None. Though he kept a key
to the deposit box himself.
1157
01:07:51,866 --> 01:07:53,602
And as for the cash accounts,
1158
01:07:53,634 --> 01:07:56,937
the statements went
to some lawyer in St. Euripides.
1159
01:07:56,971 --> 01:07:59,341
Uh, what was his name?
1160
01:07:59,373 --> 01:08:02,009
Menlo Sartori at your service.
1161
01:08:02,042 --> 01:08:04,645
Welcome to St. Euripides.
1162
01:08:04,678 --> 01:08:08,416
- (MABEL GIGGLES)
- My car awaits.
1163
01:08:08,450 --> 01:08:10,819
Good of you to pick us up.
I assumed you'd send a driver.
1164
01:08:10,852 --> 01:08:12,421
Oh, good heavens, no.
1165
01:08:12,453 --> 01:08:14,823
I wouldn't dream of entrusting
such important visitors
1166
01:08:14,855 --> 01:08:17,024
to the rustic charms
of our island's taxis.
1167
01:08:17,058 --> 01:08:19,027
(GIGGLES)
I would love to see it.
1168
01:08:19,059 --> 01:08:22,363
SARTORI: Any lawyer can draft
legal documents, Mrs. Finnegan.
1169
01:08:22,397 --> 01:08:24,366
But when it comes
to the loftiest heights
1170
01:08:24,398 --> 01:08:25,966
of client service,
1171
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,903
well, I stand alone.
1172
01:08:27,935 --> 01:08:30,339
- Very nice.
- Even now,
1173
01:08:30,371 --> 01:08:34,375
a bottle of vintage Dom Perignon
awaits at the Sartori residence.
1174
01:08:36,611 --> 01:08:38,580
I think we should get
to the hotel first.
1175
01:08:38,612 --> 01:08:40,448
Of course, of course.
1176
01:08:40,482 --> 01:08:43,986
But I must insist you join me
for Sunday brunch.
1177
01:08:45,620 --> 01:08:47,589
Together,
we shall explore the magic
1178
01:08:47,621 --> 01:08:50,124
of that storied elixir.
1179
01:08:50,157 --> 01:08:52,527
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
1180
01:08:55,662 --> 01:08:57,765
Watch your toes, darling.
1181
01:08:57,799 --> 01:09:00,102
I do hope you have enjoyed
your Sunday brunch
1182
01:09:00,135 --> 01:09:01,403
with us, Mrs. Finnegan.
1183
01:09:01,435 --> 01:09:03,438
Oh, yes, Mr. Sartori.
1184
01:09:03,470 --> 01:09:05,806
Menlo. Please call me Menlo.
1185
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,743
We like to keep things
casual here, don't we?
1186
01:09:07,776 --> 01:09:08,644
Yes, yes.
1187
01:09:08,676 --> 01:09:11,545
Though I've never been
fond of "Hector".
1188
01:09:11,578 --> 01:09:15,651
So, on the whole,
I prefer "Police Commissioner".
1189
01:09:16,785 --> 01:09:18,452
If you don't mind.
1190
01:09:18,486 --> 01:09:21,555
The police commissioner
and I go way back.
1191
01:09:21,589 --> 01:09:23,959
Partners in crime,
you might say. (LAUGHS)
1192
01:09:23,992 --> 01:09:26,928
I hope I can repay
your generosity at some point.
1193
01:09:26,961 --> 01:09:30,832
That's my husband.
The soul of generosity.
1194
01:09:30,864 --> 01:09:32,067
(LAUGHS)
1195
01:09:35,636 --> 01:09:37,773
- Hilary.
- HILARY: Mmm?
1196
01:09:37,805 --> 01:09:39,974
Why don't you leave
our guest alone?
1197
01:09:40,007 --> 01:09:42,176
He's trying to enjoy
his afternoon.
1198
01:09:42,210 --> 01:09:44,578
Perhaps, you should go
have a little nap.
1199
01:09:44,612 --> 01:09:46,148
You're always trying
to get rid of me
1200
01:09:46,180 --> 01:09:47,948
to shut me up.
1201
01:09:47,982 --> 01:09:50,852
SARTORI: Well, to be fair, dear,
who wants to listen
1202
01:09:50,885 --> 01:09:52,621
to the ravings
of a drunken lunatic?
1203
01:09:52,653 --> 01:09:53,988
(LAUGHING)
1204
01:09:55,790 --> 01:09:57,526
I hope you rot in hell.
1205
01:10:00,127 --> 01:10:03,031
Well, you must forgive
my lovely wife.
1206
01:10:03,063 --> 01:10:04,765
MABEL: Well, Mr. Sartori,
1207
01:10:04,799 --> 01:10:07,469
perhaps you should try
being as charming to your wife
1208
01:10:07,501 --> 01:10:08,937
as you are to your clients.
1209
01:10:08,970 --> 01:10:10,972
Food for thought, Mrs. Finnegan.
Food for thought.
1210
01:10:11,005 --> 01:10:16,111
Let's talk about something
more pleasant, hmm?
1211
01:10:16,144 --> 01:10:19,181
For example, what delights
do you think
1212
01:10:19,214 --> 01:10:22,617
that safety deposit box
of yours will unveil?
1213
01:10:22,649 --> 01:10:24,553
Well, if those
bank account statements
1214
01:10:24,586 --> 01:10:26,455
you showed
are any indication,
1215
01:10:27,188 --> 01:10:28,556
not much.
1216
01:10:30,157 --> 01:10:31,559
Thank you.
1217
01:10:34,261 --> 01:10:36,898
You know, I find it odd
1218
01:10:36,930 --> 01:10:39,233
that such pains were taken
setting up those accounts,
1219
01:10:39,267 --> 01:10:42,703
and yet there's hardly
anything in them.
1220
01:10:42,737 --> 01:10:48,109
Well, if I were you, I would
keep my observations to myself.
1221
01:10:48,142 --> 01:10:51,212
This is a delicate time
for us on the island.
1222
01:10:51,246 --> 01:10:53,648
The place is swarming
with international police
1223
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,585
on one of their
tax haven witch hunts.
1224
01:10:57,184 --> 01:10:58,953
And I know for a fact
1225
01:10:58,987 --> 01:11:02,190
that your arrival
has attracted interest.
1226
01:11:02,223 --> 01:11:04,059
SARTORI: Of course,
it goes without saying
1227
01:11:04,091 --> 01:11:08,095
that you can rely
on our complete discretion.
1228
01:11:08,129 --> 01:11:09,230
(CHUCKLES)
1229
01:11:22,076 --> 01:11:26,113
- You have your key?
- Oh, yes. In my bag.
1230
01:11:32,554 --> 01:11:34,689
Bonne chance.
1231
01:11:34,721 --> 01:11:37,125
I hope you're enjoying your
visit to St. Euripides.
1232
01:11:37,157 --> 01:11:38,258
Mmm-hmm.
1233
01:11:38,292 --> 01:11:41,295
It's been a very long time,
hasn't it, Mrs. Finnegan?
1234
01:11:41,328 --> 01:11:43,197
- Yes. (CHUCKLES)
- Ah, here we are.
1235
01:11:48,937 --> 01:11:50,906
Now, if you want
to do the honors.
1236
01:11:54,242 --> 01:11:55,610
Bingo!
1237
01:11:55,643 --> 01:11:57,712
(LAUGHS) I'm sorry.
1238
01:11:57,745 --> 01:11:59,014
I love my job.
1239
01:12:00,314 --> 01:12:03,984
Now, as we like to say
in the banking business,
1240
01:12:04,018 --> 01:12:06,221
have fun. Enjoy.
1241
01:12:23,904 --> 01:12:25,306
Thank you very much,
Mr. Cranston.
1242
01:12:25,340 --> 01:12:26,575
I'll be needing to look
1243
01:12:26,608 --> 01:12:28,544
in the handbag
and the briefcase.
1244
01:12:30,912 --> 01:12:33,181
It's none of your business
what Mrs. Finnegan removed
1245
01:12:33,214 --> 01:12:35,082
from her safety deposit box,
1246
01:12:35,116 --> 01:12:36,216
if anything.
1247
01:12:36,251 --> 01:12:39,688
Mr. Cranston, it's not
Mrs. Finnegan I'm interested in.
1248
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,055
It's you.
1249
01:12:41,089 --> 01:12:44,125
I can connect this island,
that shitty little bank,
1250
01:12:44,157 --> 01:12:46,995
and you to a major
international fraud.
1251
01:12:49,863 --> 01:12:52,132
- (GRUNTING) Fuck! Ugh.
- (LAUGHING)
1252
01:12:52,166 --> 01:12:53,635
Mrs. Finnegan, easy.
1253
01:12:53,667 --> 01:12:54,803
(TRAVIS GRUNTS)
1254
01:12:56,703 --> 01:12:58,706
You're gonna regret that.
1255
01:12:58,739 --> 01:13:01,643
That handbag is now evidence
in an assault.
1256
01:13:01,675 --> 01:13:02,710
Commissioner Angle,
1257
01:13:02,743 --> 01:13:04,011
I insist you take
possession of it.
1258
01:13:11,919 --> 01:13:13,087
It's okay.
1259
01:13:15,389 --> 01:13:16,825
Thank you.
1260
01:13:32,806 --> 01:13:36,344
I'm sorry, Gerald.
The man is a barbarian.
1261
01:13:36,376 --> 01:13:39,113
All right, Mr. Cranston.
Your turn.
1262
01:13:39,147 --> 01:13:40,381
The briefcase.
1263
01:13:40,415 --> 01:13:43,318
Otherwise, I'll have to place
charges against Mrs. Finnegan.
1264
01:13:43,350 --> 01:13:46,220
Hell, against you, too,
as an accomplice.
1265
01:13:46,254 --> 01:13:48,023
And neither of you
will be leaving this island
1266
01:13:48,055 --> 01:13:49,223
anytime soon.
1267
01:13:49,256 --> 01:13:51,859
ZACHERY: Those allegations
about me you're throwing around,
1268
01:13:51,893 --> 01:13:54,129
there's absolutely
no basis for them.
1269
01:13:54,162 --> 01:13:57,799
I've never been implicated
in any fraud whatsoever.
1270
01:13:57,831 --> 01:13:59,334
Don't play games with me.
1271
01:14:03,804 --> 01:14:05,873
Can you deny knowing this man?
1272
01:14:05,907 --> 01:14:08,710
That's Scraps Bredenkamp,
the mining promoter.
1273
01:14:08,742 --> 01:14:09,710
We have reason to believe
1274
01:14:09,743 --> 01:14:12,112
that somewhere in those
safety deposit boxes
1275
01:14:12,145 --> 01:14:14,948
are stolen assets
he hid from his investors.
1276
01:14:14,982 --> 01:14:17,385
And you, Mr. Cranston,
1277
01:14:17,417 --> 01:14:18,452
you were the last person
1278
01:14:18,486 --> 01:14:20,354
to see him before
he disappeared.
1279
01:14:20,388 --> 01:14:23,390
Look, that bastard owes me
a lot of money.
1280
01:14:23,424 --> 01:14:25,460
And I wish you well
in nailing him.
1281
01:14:25,492 --> 01:14:28,362
But I'm not gonna let you
look in my briefcase.
1282
01:14:28,395 --> 01:14:30,165
And my guess is,
you can't make me.
1283
01:14:31,431 --> 01:14:33,068
We'll see about that.
1284
01:14:35,937 --> 01:14:37,939
ANGLE: You're in trouble
now, old boy.
1285
01:14:37,971 --> 01:14:41,142
This new fella they put
in charge is a powerful bugger.
1286
01:14:41,175 --> 01:14:42,410
If you've got nothing to hide,
1287
01:14:42,443 --> 01:14:44,346
I'd open up that briefcase
right now.
1288
01:14:44,879 --> 01:14:47,082
Because, Mr. Cranston,
1289
01:14:47,114 --> 01:14:49,184
once my superior
sets his mind to it,
1290
01:14:49,216 --> 01:14:51,719
he can make your life
a legal nightmare.
1291
01:14:51,752 --> 01:14:52,953
If you're not in jail,
1292
01:14:52,987 --> 01:14:54,989
he'll have you buried
so deep in a swamp
1293
01:14:55,022 --> 01:14:57,358
of international, federal
and state regulations,
1294
01:14:57,390 --> 01:15:00,060
you'll have to get his
permission just to take a crap.
1295
01:15:00,094 --> 01:15:02,898
My advice, don't fuck with him.
1296
01:15:12,939 --> 01:15:16,210
Please accept
my sincere, sincere apologies.
1297
01:15:16,243 --> 01:15:19,147
My subordinate's behavior
was inexcusable.
1298
01:15:19,179 --> 01:15:22,082
Of course, you are beyond
any suspicion.
1299
01:15:22,116 --> 01:15:24,285
Mr. Higgins, so good to see you.
1300
01:15:24,318 --> 01:15:27,522
And I hope you'll give your
mother my very best wishes, hmm?
1301
01:15:27,554 --> 01:15:29,156
Thank you, thank you.
1302
01:15:29,189 --> 01:15:30,291
Madam.
1303
01:15:37,165 --> 01:15:38,933
Toes, toes.
1304
01:15:38,965 --> 01:15:41,769
Are you sure you won't join me
for a quick lunch
1305
01:15:41,803 --> 01:15:45,206
before you head home?
Airline food is so ghastly.
1306
01:15:45,238 --> 01:15:47,541
It was good of you to wait
for us back there, Menlo.
1307
01:15:47,575 --> 01:15:50,077
But if you don't mind,
we'll just head to the airport.
1308
01:15:50,111 --> 01:15:53,348
Oh, dear. How disappointing.
1309
01:15:56,884 --> 01:15:59,354
See, I'd hoped
1310
01:15:59,386 --> 01:16:02,023
that we could settle this
so much more gracefully,
1311
01:16:02,055 --> 01:16:03,924
but instead...
(COCKS GUN)
1312
01:16:05,859 --> 01:16:07,795
Mr. Sartori.
1313
01:16:07,828 --> 01:16:09,531
You should be ashamed
of yourself.
1314
01:16:09,563 --> 01:16:13,100
Greed does terrible
things, Mrs. Finnegan,
1315
01:16:13,134 --> 01:16:15,837
even to people like me
who should know better.
1316
01:16:15,870 --> 01:16:18,473
I'm beginning to think you
are not such a very nice man.
1317
01:16:18,505 --> 01:16:20,541
And I hope you shall
find it in your heart one day
1318
01:16:20,575 --> 01:16:21,975
to forgive me.
1319
01:16:22,009 --> 01:16:24,145
But until then, for now,
1320
01:16:24,178 --> 01:16:26,046
let's take a peek inside,
shall we?
1321
01:16:40,161 --> 01:16:41,429
SARTORI: Goodness.
1322
01:16:42,897 --> 01:16:45,167
You don't see things
like this every day.
1323
01:16:53,541 --> 01:16:55,176
I should have known
from the beginning
1324
01:16:55,209 --> 01:16:56,411
never to trust that man.
1325
01:16:56,443 --> 01:16:58,946
(SIGHS) Painful though it is,
1326
01:17:00,447 --> 01:17:02,584
I say we let him have
his fun, Mrs. Finnegan.
1327
01:17:04,184 --> 01:17:06,987
It's a modest price
under the circumstances.
1328
01:17:07,020 --> 01:17:08,188
(MABEL GASPS)
1329
01:17:08,221 --> 01:17:10,224
And I'm pretty sure he won't be
telling anyone about it.
1330
01:17:10,892 --> 01:17:13,060
(LAUGHING)
1331
01:17:13,094 --> 01:17:15,430
Well, it's your money, dear.
1332
01:17:16,330 --> 01:17:18,099
But if I ever see him again,
1333
01:17:18,131 --> 01:17:20,000
I'm going to give him
a piece of my mind.
1334
01:17:21,568 --> 01:17:22,937
Shall we?
1335
01:17:32,545 --> 01:17:34,548
It's a beautiful
day, Veronica.
1336
01:17:34,581 --> 01:17:36,884
It's a beautiful world.
1337
01:17:36,917 --> 01:17:39,286
Hey, I haven't forgotten
that promise.
1338
01:17:39,319 --> 01:17:41,421
Dinner. We're definitely
having dinner.
1339
01:17:41,455 --> 01:17:44,091
Wilfred, do you believe
in divine intervention?
1340
01:17:44,125 --> 01:17:46,528
I believe we're screwed,
if that's what you're asking.
1341
01:17:50,130 --> 01:17:51,632
There are more than enough
bearer bonds in there
1342
01:17:51,666 --> 01:17:53,268
to satisfy Mr. Hardcastle
1343
01:17:53,300 --> 01:17:54,870
or any other client
that wants out.
1344
01:17:58,038 --> 01:18:00,942
I really think that somebody
must be looking out for us.
1345
01:18:00,974 --> 01:18:03,210
Remarkable. This...
1346
01:18:05,412 --> 01:18:07,047
This is remarkable.
1347
01:18:07,081 --> 01:18:08,950
ZACHERY: Uh-huh.
I mean, think about it.
1348
01:18:08,983 --> 01:18:10,418
All of the people we've helped.
1349
01:18:10,451 --> 01:18:13,354
Your wife, the hospital,
the university,
1350
01:18:13,386 --> 01:18:14,989
all of our happy clients.
1351
01:18:16,122 --> 01:18:18,125
It's been a hell
of a journey, Wilfred.
1352
01:18:18,158 --> 01:18:20,461
A hell of a journey.
(LAUGHING)
1353
01:18:21,629 --> 01:18:24,332
I might be a bastard.
1354
01:18:24,364 --> 01:18:27,468
But the man upstairs,
1355
01:18:27,501 --> 01:18:29,370
(WHISPERS) I don't think
he wants me to stop.
1356
01:18:29,403 --> 01:18:31,239
- Hmm.
- Not yet anyway.
1357
01:18:31,272 --> 01:18:33,675
(BOTH LAUGHING)
1358
01:18:35,576 --> 01:18:37,478
You just don't see these.

aren't they?
1360
01:18:39,013 --> 01:18:40,614
Gorgeous.

You know what's really funny?
1364
01:18:46,453 --> 01:18:48,523
Not many people
would know this,
1365
01:18:48,555 --> 01:18:52,326
these bonds are in denominations
of a million dollars.
1366
01:18:52,359 --> 01:18:55,263
(BOTH LAUGHING)
1367
01:18:55,295 --> 01:18:58,398
The United States government
never issued
1368
01:18:58,431 --> 01:19:01,969
bearer bonds in denominations
of a million dollars.

(SOBBING)
1371
01:19:15,582 --> 01:19:18,051
ZACHERY: The bonds had been
intended for my mother,
1372
01:19:18,085 --> 01:19:19,554
so I had to believe
1373
01:19:19,586 --> 01:19:21,621
Mr. Murk had thought
they were genuine.
1374
01:19:21,654 --> 01:19:24,425
Fraud, it seemed,
1375
01:19:24,457 --> 01:19:27,362
could ambush even
an old rogue like him.
1376
01:19:29,063 --> 01:19:32,634
As for me, I had
just one last play.
1377
01:19:34,068 --> 01:19:36,705
A crazy, desperate gamble.
1378
01:19:40,174 --> 01:19:41,475
Sir.
1379
01:19:42,542 --> 01:19:44,411
Do you remember
you once told me
1380
01:19:44,444 --> 01:19:46,080
you didn't make
the kind of fortune you had
1381
01:19:46,112 --> 01:19:47,648
by worrying about ethics?
1382
01:19:51,551 --> 01:19:52,987
Nice apartment.
1383
01:19:54,121 --> 01:19:56,690
Ethics is a funny thing, son.
1384
01:19:56,724 --> 01:20:02,397
I may have done stuff
that people called unethical,
1385
01:20:02,429 --> 01:20:06,367
stuff that made people
want to kill me.
1386
01:20:07,535 --> 01:20:11,139
But I've always had
one simple rule,
1387
01:20:11,171 --> 01:20:15,676
never, ever break the law.
1388
01:20:18,379 --> 01:20:21,215
Interesting, sir. Helpful.
1389
01:20:21,247 --> 01:20:24,051
The truth is, I haven't
always followed that rule.
1390
01:20:25,019 --> 01:20:27,622
There's no easy way
of saying this, but...
1391
01:20:29,389 --> 01:20:32,559
The results my fund
has been reporting,
1392
01:20:32,593 --> 01:20:34,162
they're completely false.
1393
01:20:35,328 --> 01:20:36,831
That's right.
1394
01:20:36,863 --> 01:20:38,799
I made them up.
1395
01:20:38,832 --> 01:20:41,402
The fund has never
made any profits.
1396
01:20:41,434 --> 01:20:43,237
And what money there was,
1397
01:20:44,537 --> 01:20:46,174
it's almost all gone.
1398
01:20:49,276 --> 01:20:51,179
No. No, thank you.
1399
01:20:55,282 --> 01:20:56,785
Did you hear what I said?
1400
01:20:57,352 --> 01:20:59,220
(STAMMERS) Your money...
1401
01:21:00,888 --> 01:21:04,492
Sir, the money that
you want me to pay you back,
1402
01:21:05,759 --> 01:21:07,062
it's gone.
1403
01:21:09,130 --> 01:21:11,364
HARDCASTLE: I've always
liked you, Cranston.
1404
01:21:11,398 --> 01:21:14,269
You remind me of me
1405
01:21:15,169 --> 01:21:17,171
back when I was younger.
1406
01:21:17,203 --> 01:21:21,142
And apart from all this
breaking-the-law business.
1407
01:21:22,742 --> 01:21:25,345
So, you're not upset?
1408
01:21:28,648 --> 01:21:29,750
Thank you.
1409
01:21:34,321 --> 01:21:36,424
HARDCASTLE: I miss
my old butler.
1410
01:21:36,456 --> 01:21:38,859
Something about a murder charge
back in England.
1411
01:21:38,893 --> 01:21:41,629
I swear I'll pay off every cent
1412
01:21:41,662 --> 01:21:43,831
if you could see your way
to giving me more time.
1413
01:21:43,863 --> 01:21:46,500
I'm sure I can raise new money.
1414
01:21:46,533 --> 01:21:48,702
And the very first dollars
that come in,
1415
01:21:48,736 --> 01:21:50,837
I promise, they'll go right
to you right away.
1416
01:21:50,871 --> 01:21:53,306
You got a set of balls
on you, kid.
1417
01:21:53,340 --> 01:21:54,575
I'll give you that.
1418
01:21:54,608 --> 01:21:56,711
So... (CHUCKLES)
1419
01:21:56,743 --> 01:21:59,479
Does that mean you'll help me?
1420
01:21:59,513 --> 01:22:01,482
(LAUGHS) That's fantastic.
1421
01:22:01,514 --> 01:22:03,283
I don't know how I can
thank you enough. This is so...
1422
01:22:03,317 --> 01:22:05,353
Listen to me, son.
Listen to me.
1423
01:22:05,385 --> 01:22:07,921
If it were up to me.
1424
01:22:07,955 --> 01:22:10,390
But all the proceeds
from my investments,
1425
01:22:10,424 --> 01:22:11,792
the whole 20 odd million,
1426
01:22:11,825 --> 01:22:15,328
it goes to Patel
and the institute.
1427
01:22:15,362 --> 01:22:17,732
So you're really
dealing with her now.
1428
01:22:17,764 --> 01:22:20,334
And that's one tough customer.
1429
01:22:21,468 --> 01:22:23,705
Take it from me, Cranston.
1430
01:22:24,604 --> 01:22:26,140
You're fucked.
1431
01:22:59,340 --> 01:23:01,409
ZACHERY: Everyone has to face
their moment of reckoning
1432
01:23:01,442 --> 01:23:02,777
in their own way.
1433
01:23:03,911 --> 01:23:06,547
Wilfred had chosen his,
1434
01:23:06,580 --> 01:23:10,919
and I... I would choose mine.
1435
01:23:55,729 --> 01:23:58,332
And so, here I am.
1436
01:23:58,364 --> 01:24:00,234
My story almost complete.
1437
01:24:06,005 --> 01:24:08,308
I've written out these musings,
1438
01:24:08,341 --> 01:24:10,711
accounts of my experience
for you to consider.
1439
01:24:11,711 --> 01:24:13,413
Although brief,
1440
01:24:13,447 --> 01:24:16,551
I think of them
as my masterwork.
1441
01:24:21,054 --> 01:24:25,859
Naturally, I'm experiencing
a moment of reflection.
1442
01:24:25,893 --> 01:24:28,696
WRIGHTWAY: Well, what do you
think now, Mr. Cranston?
1443
01:24:28,729 --> 01:24:30,798
That idea you had back
in my classroom
1444
01:24:30,831 --> 01:24:32,333
doesn't seem so good, hmm?
1445
01:24:35,035 --> 01:24:37,337
ZACHERY: My beautiful
little scheme,
1446
01:24:37,371 --> 01:24:39,674
it's so sad it has to end.
1447
01:24:39,706 --> 01:24:43,076
But you knew from the beginning
it would turn out this way.
1448
01:24:43,109 --> 01:24:46,080
Tell me. Now that you're
facing the consequences,
1449
01:24:46,112 --> 01:24:47,914
I expect you'd go back
if you could
1450
01:24:47,947 --> 01:24:49,849
and undo everything.
1451
01:24:49,882 --> 01:24:52,620
I thought about that, of course.
1452
01:24:52,653 --> 01:24:54,922
People say you can't
buy happiness.
1453
01:24:54,955 --> 01:24:57,725
But, Professor,
the way I figure,
1454
01:24:57,757 --> 01:24:59,794
those people never had
the kind of money I had.
1455
01:25:01,461 --> 01:25:02,696
No.
1456
01:25:02,729 --> 01:25:05,866
Given a second chance,
I'd do it all over again.
1457
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,804
But surely you must
have some regrets.
1458
01:25:09,836 --> 01:25:12,572
There was so much more you
could've done with your life.
1459
01:25:13,573 --> 01:25:16,810
True. I do have some regrets.
1460
01:25:16,844 --> 01:25:20,047
Never did take delivery
of my IMAX home theater.
1461
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,849
It's beautiful, isn't it?
1462
01:25:21,881 --> 01:25:24,951
Then there was the gorgeous
doctor at the hospital.
1463
01:25:24,984 --> 01:25:28,022
Oh, man. We could have
been great together.
1464
01:25:29,723 --> 01:25:31,459
Other than that, though...
1465
01:25:32,893 --> 01:25:34,662
That's it?
1466
01:25:34,694 --> 01:25:36,831
Those are your only regrets?
1467
01:25:38,698 --> 01:25:39,800
MARTIN: Yeah.
1468
01:25:42,068 --> 01:25:43,705
What about me?
1469
01:25:48,876 --> 01:25:49,877
(GUNSHOT)
1470
01:25:51,178 --> 01:25:53,381
No. Not really.
1471
01:26:12,032 --> 01:26:14,935
It was Socrates who once said,
1472
01:26:14,968 --> 01:26:18,773
"Death is the greatest
of all human blessings."
1473
01:26:21,507 --> 01:26:23,544
I prefer a dry martini.
1474
01:26:25,112 --> 01:26:27,848
And a good cigar, of course.
1475
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:31,485
One of those handmade ones
that last forever.
1476
01:26:34,487 --> 01:26:38,558
But fate has its own plans
for all of us.
1477
01:26:57,678 --> 01:26:59,613
(KNOCK AT DOOR, DOOR OPENS)
1478
01:27:01,982 --> 01:27:03,984
Your client just called to say
1479
01:27:04,017 --> 01:27:05,685
he got the money
and to thank you.
1480
01:27:07,220 --> 01:27:08,555
He got the money?
1481
01:27:12,091 --> 01:27:16,029
You're saying he got the money.
1482
01:27:16,063 --> 01:27:17,230
And the bank wants to know
1483
01:27:17,264 --> 01:27:19,834
how you'd like to invest
the surplus cash.
1484
01:27:22,236 --> 01:27:25,605
Surplus cash... I...
I don't understand.
1485
01:27:25,639 --> 01:27:27,875
VERONICA: The medical
device company.
1486
01:27:27,907 --> 01:27:29,977
Remember? You were
the angel investor.
1487
01:27:30,010 --> 01:27:31,745
I thought we sold that
a long time ago.
1488
01:27:31,778 --> 01:27:33,848
It was buried in that
special little account
1489
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:35,248
you never look at.
1490
01:27:35,282 --> 01:27:38,552
(SIGHS) The shit pile.
1491
01:27:38,585 --> 01:27:40,788
Anyway, I guess it wasn't
worthless after all.
1492
01:27:40,821 --> 01:27:41,756
There was a big buy-out,
1493
01:27:41,788 --> 01:27:43,491
and the fund's share
of the purchase price
1494
01:27:43,523 --> 01:27:44,825
hit the account moments ago.
1495
01:27:48,161 --> 01:27:51,165
May I ask what
you're doing with that?
1496
01:27:51,197 --> 01:27:54,133
Oh, what, the gun?
Oh, nothing, really.
1497
01:27:54,166 --> 01:27:55,902
Uh, so, let me
get this straight.
1498
01:27:55,935 --> 01:27:58,772
You're saying that
the fund has surplus cash,
1499
01:27:58,804 --> 01:28:01,908
and our client is happy?
1500
01:28:01,942 --> 01:28:04,212
- VERONICA: Mmm-hmm.
- (LAUGHING)
1501
01:28:05,011 --> 01:28:07,915
Ah, this calls
for a celebration.
1502
01:28:08,614 --> 01:28:09,817
Special dinner.
1503
01:28:10,983 --> 01:28:14,020
Veronica, I'm feelin' lucky.
1504
01:28:14,054 --> 01:28:16,991
Go out, get some flowers,
the ones you really like.
1505
01:28:18,759 --> 01:28:20,861
And make a reservation for two.
1506
01:28:20,894 --> 01:28:22,797
At that romantic little place?
1507
01:28:23,296 --> 01:28:25,131
Good idea.
1508
01:28:25,165 --> 01:28:26,901
That sounds wonderful.
1509
01:28:26,934 --> 01:28:29,603
But I... I don't have
anything to wear.
1510
01:28:29,635 --> 01:28:30,870
ZACHERY: You don't have
to worry about that.
1511
01:28:30,903 --> 01:28:32,506
No need for you to go.
1512
01:28:33,907 --> 01:28:35,009
Zachery.
1513
01:28:36,276 --> 01:28:39,212
Veronica, we're in
the office, remember?
1514
01:28:39,246 --> 01:28:40,614
Call me "sir".
1515
01:28:41,047 --> 01:28:42,882
No.
1516
01:28:42,916 --> 01:28:46,120
Tonight, I want to talk
with that doctor, alone.
1517
01:28:46,153 --> 01:28:48,556
I want to discuss
my heart center with her.
1518
01:28:48,956 --> 01:28:50,024
Yes.
1519
01:28:50,056 --> 01:28:53,294
On a day like today,
I think a little philanthropy
1520
01:28:54,861 --> 01:28:57,331
will go a very long way.
1521
01:28:57,363 --> 01:28:59,899
In fact, don't bother
with the flowers.
1522
01:28:59,933 --> 01:29:01,268
I'll pick them up myself.
1523
01:29:01,300 --> 01:29:05,238
But you could check
into my IMAX home theater.
1524
01:29:05,272 --> 01:29:07,741
I'm thinking about
upgrading the upholstery
1525
01:29:07,773 --> 01:29:08,843
to zebra skin.
1526
01:29:10,978 --> 01:29:11,913
You know, Veronica,
1527
01:29:11,946 --> 01:29:13,647
I'm beginning to think
that my old teacher,
1528
01:29:13,679 --> 01:29:16,849
Professor Wrightway,
might've been mistaken.
1529
01:29:16,882 --> 01:29:20,254
He used to say there's
always a price to pay for
1530
01:29:20,287 --> 01:29:23,023
unsportsmanlike behavior.
1531
01:29:23,055 --> 01:29:26,660
And until now,
I believed him.
1532
01:29:26,693 --> 01:29:28,162
(CHUCKLES)
1533
01:29:28,194 --> 01:29:30,665
Maybe sometimes,
there is no price.
1534
01:29:31,665 --> 01:29:35,301
Maybe sometimes,
you can get away
1535
01:29:35,335 --> 01:29:37,004
with being a bastard.
1536
01:29:39,973 --> 01:29:40,908
What do you think?
1537
01:29:40,940 --> 01:29:43,611
I'm going with the professor
on this one...
