All language subtitles for Kane.and.Abel.1985.Part02 [DVDRip] [AVI-Xvid] LEUG

You want the Richland, mister?
There it is.

- You have to stay there.
- I am manager.

Baron?

Did everyone
get out safely?

- Yes Baron, yes.
- Good.

Come on.

- Mr. Abel Rosnovski?
- Yes.

I'm with the Insurance
Casualties.

We hold the insurance policy
on the Chicago Richland.

If you are trying for quick
settlement, answer is no.

No, it's not my
intention at all.

The policy says that,

Kane - Cabot bank of Boston
holds the mortgage,

on the Chicago Richland, and
all of the Richland hotels.

- Am I right?
- Yes!

My name is Osborne.
David Osborne.

I think we may be of
service to one another.

- You are chief?
- Yes, I am.

Try and save building ...

I talked to building inspectors.

We are looking at
a total loss here.

You are looking
at total loss.

I am looking at a great
building site for new hotel.

This man the police have
in custody for arson,

Desmond Pacey, now used to
be manager here, am I right?

I fired him.

He's confessed.

Its almost that he wants
everybody to know,

that he burned
down Richland.

He wants me to know.

It is his way of having,

last word in hotel managment.

It's a rotten shame.

Do you understand that the real beneficiary
of his crime is gonna be Kane - Cabot?

See, they're gonna collect
this insurance money,

they're gonna sell the rest of the
Richland hotels and this site,

and they're gonna come out of
this with a very nice profit.

But I still got
time to find,

investor with
2 million dollars.

I have idea who
can help me.

You have quite a reputation.
Don't you think its a real tall order?

With the mood of investors
in this country right now? Think about it.

You know what's
going on out there.

If they are all in same
mood as Mr. Kane ...

I would like to see that Harvard
boy hanged by the neck.

Well, amen to that.

Why? You know him?

When I saw the
name Kane - Cabot,

on the insurance paper
as the mortage holder,

See, I thought I'd put the ...

memory of William Kane
behind me forever.

Good riddance.

You do know him.

This is in strictest confidence.

I'm supposed to deal the
insurance company's business

with complete impartiality.
Alight?

William Kane was
once my stepson.

No.

You see, his mother,

just the loveliest creature
in God's creation.

Anne.

She was dearest ...

and sweet ...

And she was beautiful.

Her first husband
was lost on the Titanic.

He was a wonderful man,
not at all like his son.

So I wanted to start
a whole new life for her.

And I would have too.

But dear young William,

He just couldn't stand the idea
of a rival for his mother's affection.

Well ...

He got his way.

The anxiety that he created,
the tension ...

It killed her.

Literally killed his
mother in childbirth.

And our baby.

Yeah, I know him.

William Kane killed
my wife and my baby.

A habit of his.

And once Anne was gone,

There was nothing else I
cared about in Boston.

Not a whole lot I didn't.

So I left and
came to Chicago.

Trying to put all
out of my mind.

And then this.

Well ...

He did't get rid of me
just yet, my friend.

Or you.

Welcome back
to Boston, Kate.

I didn't realize when I
started packing to look.

That's wonderful, you have
something to go back for.

No.

Not a thing, William.

Do you have misgivings about
the Stevens Hotel, Mr. Rosnovski?

Oh, no.

I would have built it
across the street.

Closer to lake.

That way, entrance
would be out of the wind.

Well then, aside from the
problem of trying to keep,

the doormans hat
on in January,

what do you say?

Mr. Maxton,

A year ago, your offer,

to join you here as manager
of world's largest hotel,

I would not even dream
of such opportunity.

But now, I'm sorry.
I must say no.

Would you mind
telling me why?

Because I am now owner
of Richland Hotels.

You see, Davis left me
hotels as act of faith.

I am therefore determined,
to rebuild Richland Hotel,

and make others into shape.

All I need now is money
to buy back the mortgage.

And what does the bank say?

Banks!

Banks are busy,

trying to save their skin.

But it does not matter,
because I decide

go to fellow hotel, for money.

I decided go to you.

Me?

But I'm a competitor, Abel.

Yes, so?

Let your competition
make money for you.

Better than
letting me steal

business at
your expense, no?

Just how much
do you need?

2 million.

Could we have some
more coffee here, please?

2 million dollars?

Lot of money
in these times.

A lot of money
at any time.

Besides, it might appear to
my shareholders to be,

a conflict of interest.

Mr. Maxton, I know what
I can do for you.

Or to you.

Two years, three
at the most,

I can show you a
million dollar profit,

on your investment.

If you ask me that should more than
clear up any conflict of interest.

Insurance settlement
will more than cover

rebuilding of
Chicago Richland.

And I know what
has to be done,

with other hotels
to make them profitable.

Thank you, Zaphia. Just leave
the coffee here, will you please?

Yes, sir.

Zaphia.

Zaphia?

It is me.
Abel, Rosnovski.

You remember me, yes?

Well, Mr. Rosnovski ...

I've enjoyed our lunch.

And I must admit, I am
very impressed.

About the sheer audacity
of your suggestion.

Thank you Mr. Maxton.

Zaphia, it's so good to see you.

And you Wladek.

So many times I meant to
call you, even in New York.

But you didn't.

No, I forgot.

But I never forgot
how lovely you are.

After that,

I worked for 2 years at the
sausage factory of my uncle.

But when he died,
my aunt sold

business to pay
so many debts.

So, I took job at
Stevens Hotel.

What about you?

I read what happened.
What are you going to do, Mr.Smart?

It is not nice to tease,

fellow countryman
when he is out of job.

You beat Germans,
you beat Russki.

What to fire
to Polish Baron?

Here.

Will I see you
again, Zaphia?

Are you sure you
want to be seen with,

Polish girl
who's only waitress?

What will the people say?

They will say that
Abel Rosnovski,

is with a very
beautiful Polish girl.

Who one evening
on boat to America,

give him a happiness,

he has never
known again,

since until today.

May I see you again?

I'm so proud of you.
You don't know.

I think that's him over there.

Where?

Mine!

Good shot!

That's the set.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, so much.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

William!

Kate, I'd like you to meet
Matthew Lester.

Who already has more lady
friends than he needs, so ...

pay no attention
to anything he says.

Oh, Kate!

Excuse me, I had to do that.

You're the first thing that's taken William's
mind off banking since I've known him.

- Hello William.
- Hello Susan.

I'm spending the month
with Matthew.

Yes, I've heard. Susan,
I'd like you to meet ...

Gives me chance to see what
the two of you are up to.

Susan, this is Kate Brookes.

- How do you do?
- Hello.

Excuse me. I'll call you.

Yes, of course.

I should've challenged you
to a set of singles.

She'd never look
at you again.

Which is why I'm taking Kate
for holiday to England.

Just to be safe.

You relise this is the
first I've heard of it.

Oh, you'll love it. He'll treat
you to all the sites.

Anything that is, you
can see from

the window of Kane - Cabot's.

Well truth is that ...

Alan Lloyd has
asked me to look,

at some development
property that,

Tony Simons wants
the Bank to invest.

See? Isn't that romantic?

To William, love is just
an item in the ledger.

Well, we won't go
into that, Matthew.

I think you're both impossible. I'm going
to catch up with your sister Susan.

I wouldn't do that.

Susan's been madly in love
with William since she was ...

... 13?

Bad enough putting up
with this athlete as a friend,

he'd be impossible
as a brother-in-law.

Excuse me.

I think you could have
told Susan that,

when she was 13,
don't you?

It was over long before
you and I met, Kate.

Never really began.
She was just ...

my best friend's kid
sister, that's all.

She's still in love
with you.

Will you come to
England with me?

Do I have any choice?

The miss said you wanted to talk
to me about mortgage on hotels.

I suggest that you
sit down, Mr. Rosnovski.

But I still got two weeks left
to come up with money. I ...

I have been contacted
today by a party,

who will put up the entire
2 million dollars to clear,

Davis Leroy's debt with
Kane - Cabot of Boston,

and put the management
of the Richland Hotels,

back into your hands.

What ...
Who?

I'm afraid that poses
a bit of a problem.

What is problem?

Mr. Rosnovski, please
if you let me continue.

The lender is prepared to offer you a
40% interest in the Richland hotels,

representing $800,000
out of

2 million dollars,
as a loan,

which you must repay
within 10 years.

I can do it in 5!

- Who is this ...
- You'd be pleased to know,

that there'll be an
option in the contract,

which will allow you to buy
the entire hotel group back,

within the same
10 year period,

For the sum of
3 million dollars,

which will give the
lender a one million,

return on his investment.

There is however,
one stipulation.

Since the investor believes that
his involvement in this situation,

might be construed as
a conflict of interest,

he insists on remaining
absolutely anonymous.

Conflict of interest ...

That's David Maxton!

The owner of the Stevens, right?

Mr. Rosnosvski please.

- Please, please.
- If David Maxton ...

There will be a stipulation
in this contract.

That you will never
make any attempt,

to discover the
identity of the lender,

involved in this transaction.

That must be perfectly
clear, and agreed to.

I start rebuilding
Chicago Richland now!

Maxton saw what I did here.

Wait until he sees,
what I do with others.

I will make gold mines
out of them!

I will build Richland Hotels
all over country!

I will make David Maxton
his million profit,

before he can speak twice.

Why Davis Leroy,

couldn't have been here,
to see this?

Why?

Yes, Mr. Rosnovski.

I thought you would like to know that I
have been able to raise the money,

required for me to take over
ownership of Richland Group.

Therefore, there
will be no necessity,

for Kane - Cabot to
place Hotels for sale,

on the open market.

Thanks for keeping me informed,
Mr. Rosnovski,

and ...

may I wish you every
success for the future.

Which is more than
I wish you, Mr. Kane.

I thought we were going
panting on the Thames.

I don't see any river.

That's what I'm talking about.

You're not getting
wet feet and,

blisters panting
on the Thames.

What do you think
of Tony Simons?

Competition.

He showed a million
dollars profit this year.

That's a record for
the London branch.

He talked to me about wanting
to come back to Boston.

He probably wants
the chairman,

when Alan Lloyd
retires.

When will it be?

Soon.

You'll get my vote.

Too bad you're
not on the board.

This is called
"Spooning on a blanket."

Just my luck.

I travelled 3,000 miles
to do a little panting,

and end up
with a spooner.

Wait!

What is it?

We've been in England for
2 weeks and this is the first time,

we been under
the same blanket.

"To Health".

Newspaper says
the new Richland,

is going to be
bigger than ever.

According to manager,

and new owner
Abel Rosnovski.

Why they don't
call you Baron?

a lot of people don't
believe it, I guess.

I believed it even when
you were Wladek.

- Remember?
- Yes.

Zaphia, I want to show
you something.

But I am changing whole
entrance and lobby.

There will be shops
along this side.

Elegant people, of course.

Yes, of course.
No riff-raff, please.

And I'll call Jerzy,
you remember?

George ?

I'm bringing him here
to work with me.

I need to have old
friends around me.

Abel?

Abel dear, what a
lovely surprise!

Hello.

No, please sit.

Zaphia, this is Miss Leroy.

- Her father ...
- Miss Leroy?

Well Abel, I'm sure
the young lady,

wouldn't mind if you
called me Melanie.

What's this?

Ah, yes I see by the papers that
you're gonna rebuild the Richland.

Daddy would like that.

I already started.

Abel,

When you're down at the Dallas Richland,
you just have to give me a call.

Never got to see our house.

You must stay with me.

Kind of a home away from home?
You know?

I don't think Zaphia would appreciate
homes away from home.

We are getting married.

We come to America together.

We are both immigrants
from Poland.

Well anyway,

I'm glad you gonna
have another try,

of making something
of the Richland Group.

You know what?

Not Richland Group any more.

I'm calling it ...

Baron Hotels.

Very impressive.

I thought you would like it.

Gary, I'm famished.
Let's go.

You asked me to marry you.

That is the way
it sounded to me.

Do you love me, Wladek?

I thought it was
decided on the boat.

When we ...

When we traded our virginities.

I will make you a good life.

And this ...

This is the first.

There will be others.

Many others.

Who knows how many?

Turn on the ignition.

Its on.

Its such a sweet little
car to do this to us.

It knows we're Americans.

Well ...

Since we've already established
at tea time that we're not,

married and since they
only have one room in the inn,

what would you suggest
we do at bedtime?

Well, I suggest ...
We get married.

Because the car won't run?

No, we're two healthy
Americans, stranded by,

an obstinent English car,
outside a romantic English inn,

with only one available bed.

What else can we do between
tea time and bedtime?

William, the Episcopal
Church requires all kinds,

of stipulations and
waiting periods.

You didn't spot the notice pinned
up inside the door, did you?

What notice?

Well, according
to the notice,

The most pressing requirement
of the parish church,

is a new roof, to the
amount of 150 pounds.

Are you suggesting bribery?

I'll bet all my entire
banking career,

that 150 pounds is exactly
today's going rate,

for a special dispensation.

Seems a lot.

I'm I worth it?

Every shingle.

Are you alright?

That thing ...

- It's called a Geyser.
- A what?

- Geyser..
- How do you know that?

The lady who brought
breakfast said so.

Well ...

Whatever it is
its not working.

Shall I call and have
someone come and fix it?

When I think ...

When I think of what might
not have happened ...

If the car had started.

I mean that

you only married me because
that thing wouldn't go.

What makes you think
I turned on the ignition?

This has to be the high
point of your life.

It is only just starting, David.

stick with me
you'll enjoy the ride.

This way, sir.
Smile. Thank you.

How do you say?

Thank you!

This is the proudest
day of my life.

And I'm glad it
is in Chicago.

Why not applaud, George?

If you told me right hand
man had to wear a tie,

I'd never take this job.

First of all, let me give
credit where credit is due.

The reason this new
hotel, the Chicago Baron,

rose from the ashes as fast as
it did, is due and large part,

to my friend and your
honourable Alderman,

David Osborne.

And let me add ...

If my guess is right,

and I have never bet
on loser yet,

we will be calling
Alderman Osborne,

Congressman Osborne
after next election!

I have another reason
to be proud today.

A very personal one.

Please!
Yes.

This is my wife, Zaphia.

And this is future "Hotelier".

And you're all invited
to christening.

I want you to know,

that the Chicago Baron, is only
first of many like it,

one day, wherever you travel,

around the country, around the world,
you will always be at home,

in a Baron hotel.

And when you
check in, tell them

you were here, on day
it all began.

Tell them you are a friend
of Abel Rosnovski,

The Baron himself!

Alright, Matthew, that's enough.
Let's go.

Hey, shove off, mister!

Just go away.

Come on, let's go home.

Come on.

- Are there any women at your place?
- Yeah, plenty.

Why Matthew?
Tell me why.

Up until a year ago,

you were one of the finest
men I ever knew.

What's the matter?

Hey do me a favour, will you?

Find him another
place to flop.

Come on.

Florentyna,

I baptize you in the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost.

You might have a baby.

- Amen.
- Amen.

You are not disappointed
its not a boy?

How could I be?

When she so beautiful.

In the vote for the
new Chairman.

Simons ...
Kane ...

Simons, Simons,
Kane ...

Simons ...

My last official act
as Chairman,

of the Kane - Cabot bank,

I give you
my successor ...

Tony Simons.
Congratulations, Tony.

Thank you.
Thank you all.

Congratulations, Tony.

I think I'm as surprised
as you are.

- Yeah.
- William ...

I appreciate your not
using your name,

or stock to sway the vote.
Thank you.

Well perhaps I should've.

No, I think we made
a good choice.

You will have my full support.

- You voted for Simons, didn't you?
- Yes.

I wish you'd
voted for me.

Well, I wish some
of the others,

had voted for me, too.

Still too young, too ...

unorthodox in my
thinking, right?

In part, but there's
another problem.

It hurts me to have to
say this to you, William.

But they don't understand
why you won't admit,

there's something seriously
wrong with Matthew.

And that something can be
done about his drinking.

There's gonna be a
demand for his resignation.

If Matthew goes, I go.

I admire your loyalty.

But it will not help him.

You friend Matthew is a
very very sick man, William.

Well, there must be help ...
I mean,

I've heard some of these retreats they have
for alcoholism can be quite successful.

I'm afraid alcohol has
been his retreat, William.

Matthew is suffering from
Hodgkin's disease.

Apparently he knows he's
had it for over a year now.

Its an inflammation and
enlargement of the lymph nodes.

There must be treatment or
specialist you can recommend.

Matthew's already
seen the best man,

in America, and
one in Switzerland.

I can only confirm
their prognosis.

There is no cure.
None at all.

Matthew has
at the best,

maybe 3 months
to live?

Why didn't he tell me?

He didn't even
tell his father.

Well then, if you need me ...

I'll let myself out.

You know what the
biggest problem is,

with being a great
athlete, like I am?

The biggest problem is seeing
your tennis game go all to hell.

I thought you would enjoy.

Anyone could beat you
if you didn't make,

such bad line goals.

You found me up!

I'm gonna hate
leaving you two.

If you've got one friend
you're lucky, I've got two.

I'm one of the luckiest
guys in the world.

Flortya, wait for your father!

I got you.

You thought you'd get away
from me, didn't you?

You listen to your father now.
New York is a very big city.

Yes, Mama.

Your papa is going to build a big,
new hotel just for you.

What do you think of that?

Call me. Let me know
how things are going here.

What is the matter?
You do not trust me?

It is not like it is the first
time you have been away.

If I couldn't
count on you ...

All aboard!

Ok.
Let's go.

Come with us, Mama.

Next time.

- Say goodbye.
- Goodbye.

On the train!

I think I have a
very big rival, Jerzy.

A father and a daughter.

And such a daughter
you have given him.

You cannot blame him.

I meant the hotels.

Ah, hell!

Abel Rosnovski
and my stepfather.

Just exactly what
is the connection?

Well, what I could find out, and this is
mostly rumor rather than hard facts,

Rosnovski put up most of
the money, and a lot of it,

to get David Osborne
elected to Congress.

Their relationship goes back to when
Osborne was on the Chicago City Council.

Osborne and Rosnovski.

You know one thing
they do have in common ...

Is me.

Your father knows the history.

Osborne hates my guts for
having exposed him, and ...

the Baron is convinced that I
caused the death of his best friend.

William, I know all that,

but there is a more
immediate connection.

Self interest.

Osborne's been helping the
Baron along the way up.

Rezoning the building
sites for the hotels,

juice for local politicians.

You know, that sort of thing.

And he was paid off, believe me.

Well I saw he didn't report it.

All he shows on his returns
is additional income,

as the fee he receives as a member
of the Baron Hotel board of directors.

The Congressman might
be guilty of tax evasion.

Exactly.

Thaddeus, I want
you to keep at this.

I'd like a full report,
say each quarter.

Or sooner if you find anything
that seems urgent, you will.

William, it happened so long ago.

Kate,

I have reason to
be concerned.

Yes?

It's New York, sir.
The Lester residence.

Thaddeus, thanks
for coming by.

Specially the weekend.

We'll be in touch.

Charles Lester?

We've been dreading the call.

He's been going downhill
since Matthew died.

Does William have reason
to be concerned?

Nothing we can prove.

How bad is it?

They don't expect
him to last the night.

Listen to me, William.

Don't try to talk.
Just rest.

In my will,

I have named you
to suceed me,

as Chairman of Lester's.

Chairman ...

In my will ...

Right, Mr. Lester.
Not now.

You must listen.

Very important for you.

I want you to
be Chairman.

Should've been Matthew.

You ...

always knew
that, didn't you?

You always ...

I'm sorry, Susan.

Very elegant.

Its a big occasion.

Very important man.

I know, I know ...

I remember when he was
manager of only one hotel.

I wish it could
still be that way.

Zaphia?

Zaphia?

I thought you would be ready.
Plane is not going to wait, you know?

I didn't realize the time.

I will ask driver
to get the bags.

I've just have a few
last things to pack.

I do not want to go.

What do you think people
will say if you are not,

there for opening
of the hotel?

- They will not even notice.
- I will!

You don't like dress?

I will buy you another.

It is not the dress.

Zaphia wait till you
see the penthouse.

It's like being on top of the world.

You look out at night, and
all New York is at your feet.

I think I would be a little
uncomfortable on top of New York.

You are my wife.
I want you to be there.

Why not?

Because you do not
need me there, Abel.

- Of course I do!
- No, not longer.

I think it is better
if we are separated.

Separated?

What are you talking about?

How long since we spend
time together alone?

How longs since
we have made love?

You are married to your hotels.

To people like David Osborne,

that make you feel
big and important.

Too important to me
to keep up with.

And when I try, I always
feel like I am failing you.

Everything seemed
so perfect.

If you were so
unhappy, why ...

I kept hoping
it would change.

I admit. I should spend
more time at home.

I'm sorry
I miss dinners.

And whatever.

But hotels are my dreams.

And they are our future.

You always want to stay here.

What is it you
are so afraid of?

That I can never be what
you want me to be.

And you can never be
what I want.

Not any longer.

So isn't it better
if we separated?

Please, Abel ...

try to understand.

Zaphia,

come with me.

No.

Marvelous dinner, Peter.
I can't thank you enough.

- And for your support.
- My honour, William. - Really?

First to entertain the next
Chairman of Lester's.

Don't think that will
be any trouble, eh?

Oh, I wouldn't
say that exactly.

Now we have 3 or 4 die in the
world New Yorkers on the board,

that think Boston Bank is
operated out of a shoebox.

Well, I realized Charles Lester's
will isn't that legally binding,

the board can vote
any way they want.

That's right.

But I think I can
swing it for you.

Just give me a few days
to fly your credentials.

After all, I'm a Vice
Chairman of the bank.

Not to mention
the stock I own.

You just go on back home.
Leave it to me.

I'll call you and let you
know how's it going.

Do you think I should talk
to Ted Leach myself?

Leach has had his sight set on
the Chairmanship for a long time.

He's gonna fight
you anyway.

Talking to him
won't change that.

It's been a pleasure
meeting you, Mrs. Parfitt.

Thank you, again.

There are two reasons I'm
talking to you, Mr. Leach.

First that ...

Peter Parfitt advised
against it.

What's the second reason?

I think Charles Lester
was very fond of you.

- Charlie Lester was one hell of a man.
- Yes, he was.

Let me tell you
something, Mr. Kane.

In the first place, I would give
my right arm up to here,

to be Chairman
of Lester's.

Second,

I wouldn't think of going against
Charlie Lester's wishes,

now or ever.

Have we got that straight?

We've got that straight.

If you go back to Boston,

you might as well stay there.

Parfitt is rounding
up votes for himself,

for Thursday's meeting.

You know he told me,

it wasn't gonna be
till next Monday.

That's so on Monday,
he can call and tell you

he was elected Chairman,

last Thursday.

Mr. Leach,

correct me if I'm wrong,

but according to the bylaws, an
emergency meeting of the board,

can be called with
24 hours' notice.

As one of the boards
to Vice Chairman,

You have the authority to
call such a meeting, am I right?

Never been done before.

There's always the first time.

Will you?

Provided you know exactly what
you gonna do with that meeting.

Gentlemen,

I asked Mr. Leach
to call this,

emergency meeting and
I want to thank you all,

coming at such
short notice.

You're all aware that
Charles Lester,

stipulated in his will,

that I should become the next
Chairman of this bank.

Of course I realize,
as you do,

that such a bequest is
not legally binding.

But when Peter Parfitt here assured me
he would support me for the Chairmanship,

I was overwhelmed.

I invited Mr. Kane to dinner,
before a group of you gentlemen,

persuade me toss
my head into the ring.

Which came as a great
surprise, I'm sure.

Excuse me.

I take exception to
Mr. Kane's insinuation,

that there is some sort
of conspiracy afoot here.

The only conspiracy
I sense, is in the suddeness,

with which this
meeting was called.

The same sort of impulsive act
performed by Charles Lester,

in bequething the
Chairmanship, symbolically,

to an outsider.

Through some vague
sense of loyalty,

to the friend of his dead son.

I was with Mr. Lester
till the last.

And he didn't appear
to be a bit vague.

And was with Mr. Lester
for 22 years.

The last six
as Vice Chairman.

Gentlemen, since we
have been summoned,

to this election in haste,

I can only ask if we now act
with the calm reason,

that our stockholders
expect of us.

I'm confident they
will applaud your vote,

for experience
and continuity,

over the whim of a beloved,

but distraught and
dying man.

I resent that,
Mr. Parfitt.

I resent that for
Charles Lester's memory.

He was a great man!

A man of vision!

A man not given to whims.

Now as of being an outsider,
as Mr. Parfitt calls me,

Charles Lester and I
shared a lot of plans

and dreams over
the years, in fact,

I even had the audacity to tell
him that I could see the day,

that the Lester Bank
merged with Kane - Cabot,

to create one of the countries
great financial institutions.

Now Lester's is a great bank.

Given the chance,

I can make it even greater.

Mr. Kane, since you are not a member
of this board and have no vote,

I suggest you leave
us with the matter.

8-4 Mr. Kane.

You are the new Chairman.

Thank you, Sir.

Thank you very much.

I'll also gladly tell you myself
not because I am the,

oldest serving member of the board,
but because I didn't vote for you.

I voted for Parfitt,
over an outsider.

But I want you to
know that I'll resign,

and give you a free
hand, Mr. Kane.

No worry.

Well, I wish you wouldn't, sir.

Give me six months, see if
I can change your mind.

I need you.

You got a deal, Mr. Kane.

I guess I can stand
6 months of excitement,

even in my age.

Thank you, sir.

Well, Will!
Congratulations.

You pulled it off.

I thought you would.

Damn fine speech!

I'll accept your resignation
before the end of the day.

What?

- Now wait a minute, Will.
- Address it to William Kane.

You'll receive two
years severance pay,

If I don't have your
resignation by 5,

you're fired!

Oh, William's its beautiful!

Are we really
gonna live here?

That's the general idea.

Why?

Well for one thing your father has
a very important new job,

and its here, in New York.

Look kids ...

Your mother and I know how
it is, on moving like this.

New school, having to find
new friends, all of it.

But the important thing
is, we're together.

Don't you think?

Richard?

Where am I gonna
play baseball?

- Hello. - Good evening.
- Hello, good evening.

Madame Kats!

- Your hotel is charming.
- Thank you very much.

- Baron, its a pleasure.
- Chad, how'd you do?

- Good evening. Madame.
- How'd you do?

I would like to present
my daughter, Florentyna.

Isn't it unbelievable,
Uncle George?

Unbelievable!

You really like it? I said I would
build this hotel just for you.

Flortya!

You should be in bed now.

Come on. You can tell
me a bedtime story.

I see you in the
morning, dear.

I believe we must have half
of New York here tonight.

And the other half
doesn't count.

However I do have some news
about the other half.

Mr. Kane?

The State Banking Commission
will approve the merger,

of Kane - Cabot with Lester bank
on its monthly meeting on Thursday.

I don't know yet what the
new stock distribution will be,

we know plus 51% of
Kane - Cabot into the pot.

So ...

my guess is that Mr. William
Kane will end up with less,

than 20% of the
new combined stock.

He's spreading
himself thin, Abel.

You know David, I can see myself
getting very interested in bank stocks.

Finally the moment we've
been waiting for, no?

Look, don't invest all your money.
I'm gonna need another 30 thousand.

Why?
What is it for this time?

You do not build hotels by
bricks alone, my friend.

The New York Baron opened on time
without any labour trouble?

I promised a donation to a certain
Union Pension Fund.

- Yes but ...
- Abel ...

We're not doing anything
your competition doesn't do.

Believe me, I know.

I can't keep Park
Avenue waiting.

Well, gentlemen ...

Here's to the merger of
Lester Bank and Kane - Cabot.

Lester - Kane - Cabot.

Well, I'm ...

Grateful to you, Tony.
And you, Ted.

I couldn't have
done it without you.

London, Paris, New York,
Boston and

who knows where
else by next year.

If that man in the
White House stops,

meddling in the
war, in Europe.

Henry is bringing the car
around now, Tony.

We can drop you off on our
way to the airport if you'd like.

Thanks, Kate.

Oh, I remember the days where
you were both courting in England ...

We interrupt this program to
bring you a special news bulletin.

It's just been learned that Pearl Harbor
and the Hawaiian island of Oahu,

have been attacked by Japanese
Air and Submarine forces.

Carrier based Japanese
aircraft in large numbers,

carried out an early morning attack on the
American fleet and nearby military airfields.

The White House has announced
that President Roosevelt,

will address a joined session of
Congress, tomorrow morning.

President Truman officially announces
the end of German resistance.

This is a solemn
but glorious hour.

I wished that
Franklin D. Roosevelt,

had lived to see this day.

General Eisenhower
informes me,

that the forces of Germany
have surrendered,

to the United Nations.

I thought you were
terrific, Richard.

Ah, thank you. At least
I've got two fans.

You'll be the first Kane in
history to end Harvard,

with a music scholarship
and a 400 average.

I have to say hello to 1-2
friends, I'm sorry.

Its okay.

What do you think of our new Pablo
Casals? Wasn't he marvelous?

- Oh, you were good, very good.
- Thanks.

Can you have
dinner with us?

- Your father's counting on it.
- Sure.

Richard, I ...

I had a talk with
the Headmaster.

He thinks you have a good chance
with the maths scholarship.

Dad, I was 9th in
class in the midterm.

Let's not step a knuckle
down, won't we?

Not right now, aright?

- Your grandfather did it, my boy.
- And you.

Family tradition.

I have to admit, Susan, I'm ...

- Rather shocked.
- Shocked?

I find that hard to believe.

I mean you went
through the whole war!

All those battle scars,
the "Purple Heart",

you come home to be shocked
by little Susan Lester.

If I'd had any idea
that you wanted to,

dispose of your stock in the
bank, I would have been,

happy to discuss it with you.

Ample opportunity, William.

The war's been over
nearly a year.

Time does go by, doesn't it?

This isn't like you, Susan.

Damn you, William.
How like you, to say that?

How would you ever
know what I'm like?

Oh, well ...

I quit crying over it
a long time ago.

You see ...

I lost you,

then I lost Matthew,

then father.

It may seem strange
to you, William.

But I just don't give a damn
about this bank anymore.

So I sold my stock.

To whom?

What does it matter?

I had suitors lined up
waiting to buy it.

You should've called.

The transaction was actually handled
through Consolidated Trust, in Chicago.

But it doesn't really matter,
the results are the same.

Susan Lester's 6% holdings
of stock in the bank,

now belong to
Abel Rosnovski.

He'll have a hard time
getting hold of any more.

You know, of course there is
still one large,

block held by an outsider.

The Peter Parfitt's 2%.

Now I had a stunning offer to buy
it at twice the going price.

I went a size as 1.6 million for it.

He'll never sell.
Not just to me.

He's getting to good a
retainer on the stock.

Well, there you are, that's probably why
Rosnovski wanted Susan's shares.

He knows a good investment
when he sees it.

If I thought $1 of the bank's dividends,

was going into David
Osborne's pocket ...

Any luck with Parfitt?

He just won't sell.

I think he looks on his lousy
2% of Lester - Kane - Cabot,

as some kind of trump
about William Kane's name.

What about Osborne.
Did his tip check out?

Yeah, the new airline
certified by,

the government is the
Atlantic International Airways.

And Kane's bank
is the main underwriter.

You start buying Atlantic International
stock. All you can get.

Out of my brokerage account.

Mr. Kane is going to get himself
partner in the airline business.

Ok, but a new airline
could be risky?

Yes, for Mr. Kane.

The fact is ...

Rosnovski owns 6% of
Lester Kane Cabot stock.

He only needs 2% more to
demand a seat on the board.

Now he's bought
a million shares,

of Atlantic International Airways.
Perhaps more.

Why, the sudden interest,
in our bank, William?

And in a company whose
stock we've just launched?

- Yes?
- Jack Carter to see you.

Send him in.

What's it look like, Jack?

- You want the worst interpretation?
- Why not?

The bank is the majoirty underwriter of
the Atlantic International stock.

If the investor you mention dumps
his million shares into the market,

its likely the fall in price could cost us
5-6 million dollars to correct.

- If it could be corrected.
- If?

Atlantic International Airlines
is a new company.

The aftershocks of a maneuver
like that could be a prolonged,

taint on the stock for investors.

I'm sorry, William.

If this is some sort of personal vendetta
between you and Rosnovski, I ...

Thank you, Jack.

Abel Rosnovski,

still holds me personally responsible
for the suicide of Davis Leroy.

The Kane - Cabot forclosed on,

his Richland Hotels
back in 1930, remember?

That simply isn't true.

As I recall, you recommended
against forclosure.

I've already told him that, Dan.

- Why not tell him again?
- No!

Its out of the question.

Besides ...

Its gone beyond that now.

Look, William,

this whole thing has to be
costing the "Baron", a fortune.

Who knows he might be
glad to shake hands,

and get back to building
hotels all over the world.

William, he lives at
the New York Baron.

Give him a call.

Settle it.
Right now!

- 50,000?
- Yes, 50,000.

I will not pay it.

Then, I tell the boys to forget
the power line variances.

Of course you've left open
Huston Baron in the dark.

I am paying you as a director,
my friend, and then some.

It is your job to see
the lights go on.

Now, if you need the
money for that, fine.

But if I find out you are
putting some of it aside,

in case you don't get
re-elected to Congress ...

The government is supposed
to take care of your pension.

Sorry you feel that way.

I'm only trying to do my best.

It is William Kane.

Says he wants to talk to you.

Mr. William Kane.

Wants to talk to me.

- Hello?
- Mr. Rosnovski?

This is William Kane.

Yes?

Been a long time.

What do you want?

I understand you've became a ...

substantial investor in both
Lester - Kane - Cabot,

and Atlantic International
Airways.

Did I?

I thought it might be to our ...

mutual interest
to get together and ...

discuss it.

Mutual interest? I tried to discuss
our mutual interest years ago.

I'm sorry, there's been
a, mistake about that.

There's something you
should probably know,

and I'd like to
discuss it with you.

Listen to me, Mr. Kane.

I got enough Atlantic
International stock,

to make more trouble for you
than you have ever seen.

And I'm going to get enough of your
bank stock, so I can walk in there,

and throw you out myself.

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

I want you to have time,

to worry what I'm going to do.

I want you to think
about Davis Leroy,

and how you killed him.

Or think about your mother,

and how you killed her
out of greed and spite.

And don't tell me
you didn't because,

I've got your stepfather
right here next to me.

You want to talk?

Here is my answer!

That man is insane.

Curtis Fenton, at Consolidated
trust must have told him.

I did not think you
would do that, Abel.

How else could he know
about the stock?

I want you to investigate,

every deal ows to've pulled.

Anything, everything
you can dig up.

Bribes, pay offs,

tax evasion, anything.

And I don't care what it costs.

How dare he mention my
mother with that,

bastard in the same room!

I want you to go to
Chicago tomorrow.

Close every account we got
with Consolidated. Everyone!

- You should speak to Curtis ...
- Just do what I tell you!

Mr. William Kane,

is not going to sleep
2 minutes worrying.

I am going to break him,
until they bury him!

And I am going to enjoy
every minute of it.

Let me tell you something to
put in that article of yours.

We, Poles, don't
give up easily.

How can a country,

that staged the cavalry charge
against the might of Nazi tanks,

ever believe they
are beaten?

And I promise you, Poland
is not beaten now.

Can I say that the building of
Baron Hotel in Warsaw,

has become the most
important goal in your life?

Second most important.

First will always be
the happiness of this child.

My daughter.

Papa you can be
so corny, sometimes.

Forgive me.

If you are Mr. Rosnovski,
could you please follow me, sir.

Yes.
Keep in touch.

If you hear anything on Atlantic
International Airways or Mr. Kane.

Try and have a good time.
Both of you.

See you when I get back.

Miss Rosnovski?

What will you be doing while your
father is opening the Paris hotel?

Standing right next to him, I hope.

What about European men?

I think they're very attractive.
I've been living with one for years.

What is that?
School work?

Heaven forbid!

Good! Because I want
us to spend time together.

I asked George to get me some
information on the hotels.

Oh, did you?

You are taking over pretty
young, aren't you?

What about?

About the clothing
shops in the hotels.

You rent them out, and some of them
are fine, but if you took them over,

upgraded them, gave them
their own label and style,

They'd become a sort of fashion
trademark for the hotels.

Well, only if we give
them all one name.

Called them Florentyna.

My name doesn't come cheap.

Anything I can do for you?

No, thank you.

Incidentally ...

What about men?

I like them.

They are fast crowd, those
Harvard boys, no?

Oh, that's what the
Radcliffe girls say.

Is there anyone, special?

Are you asking me
if I've become involved?

No, just wondered.

The answer papa, is I'm
still very much, a virgin.

Florentyna!

Yes, like that.

- To your right.
- Papa?

- Yes darling?
- Are you ready?

You said you'd
show me Paris today.

- 10 minutes more. That is all.
- Papa, please!

Maybe I can show you Paris.

No, I promised. That's not
necessary. Thank you very much.

I'm going. Don't forget
my philosophy.

I never want to see
"Baron" down light.

In appreciation,

of your contribution
to the success,

of the opening of the
Paris Baron last night.

Thank you, Papa.

- What's this?
- What?

Oh, Papa ...

You spoil me!
But I love it!

- Can you do it?
- Yes.

Well, now ...

You ready to go home?

Do we have to?

Radcliffe's going to
seem an awful lot like ...

Radcliffe again!

I meant all the way home.

My home.

Poland?
When did you hear?

The embassy called
this morning.

Permission finally came through.
We leave, tomorrow.

The most beautiful
castle in the world.

Now you're going to see it
was not just one of my stories.

I'm pleased you could get
down from school, Richard.

You know, it good for me to get
a look at you once in a while.

I always get the feeling
they're measuring me,

to see if I'm
as tall as you.

Well, you're getting there.

First in your class at Harvard.
Right on track.

You know there was a time I was afraid
you gonna become a professional cellist.

Or a 2nd baseman.

At least the
pay is better.

I was thinking of going on the
Harvard Business School,

after university.

Richard, the place to
learn banking,

is in a bank.

I suppose so, I just thought I'd
explore the possibilities.

Good day, sir.

My fondest hope
has always been ...

That someday you'll
take over here.

Now I am going to show you.

You sure you're
not exaggerating?

The most wonderful castle
in the world!

I'll let you know how it
compares with Versailles.

Stop!

This is Leon.

Baron.

Is my father.

And this ...

This is ...

Florentyna.

This Florentyna.

Hello.

Is it important?

I'll get him.
He's in the next room.

Papa?
Its George.

- No, no ...
- He says it's urgent.

Yes George,
what is it?

What crash?
What are you talking about?

Atlantic International Airways.

One of their planes crashed
en route to Mexico City.

Bad weather.
17 people killed.

Start selling my stock.

Unload all you can.
Get rid of it. Today!

I'll be back tomorrow.
Day after, the latest.

We start dumping a million
shares, there will be a panic.

The stock will not be
worth a buck a share.

Yes? ...
Good!

I am going to give
Mr. William Kane,

his own personal
stock market crash!

- Have you slept with him?
- Yes!

You're determined to
marry this girl?

- Despite what I've said?
- Yes.

He's never to set foot in
this house again! Never!

Not a cent!

You stole an Ambassador
ship from me, Mr. Kane.

I intend to take your bank!
