All language subtitles for Rollover(1981) CD2

At the peak of my form, lady.

Good night, Nettie.

Would you order the car
to be out front?

Yes, madame.

I think I'll go down
to the office for a while.

Fewster, let me tell you
the reason I'm here.

You know all about Winterchem,
and you know Winterchem...

...depends a great deal on its connection
with Borough National Bank.

I've been very concerned about
Borough National Bank's stability.

Mr. Winters, the fact
that I am the bank examiner...

...I'm not allowed to discuss any findings.

I hired a private detective.
I hired him to check on you because...

On me? You hired him
to check on me personally?

I happen to know...

...that you took
a very low-interest loan. Am I right?

For the purchase of a house
from First New York.

Is that correct, Mr. Fewster?

This low-interest loan, Mr. Fewster...

...some people might consider it
to be unethical.

Others, even as a bribe.

And of course, that would be criminal.

You're asking for information
that concerns something bigger...

...than Borough National Bank.

Fewster, I guarantee you...

...you'll have my protection.

Now you just tell me what you know.

I discovered...

...an account, 21214.

Mr. Winters, is the tape machine running?

Yes.

Please, sir, turn it off.

London branch.

They're rolling over 90 million!

I think we can all go home
and get some rest now.

- Night, guys.
- Night.

Good night.

Why only 90 million?
What about the other 5?

We're gonna pay the balance of 5
to First New York. Account 21214.

Do me a favor, will you?
Get me all our Saudi records.

Look at this slippage.

All over the last couple of years.

Every month, 8 million,
7 million, 7 million...

...all to that same account number,
21214, First New York.

Could be anything.

An adjustment in the general portfolio
or loans.

Be nice to know more about that account.

I'll worry about it later.

Jesus, what a night.

I feel like the sack of Carthage.

What happened at the bank last night?

You act like a man who just had
a reprieve from the electric chair.

No, I don't think it can wait
until you come to New York.

Mr. Fewster, I can come
to Washington today to see you.

Well, I'd like to see you today
if that's possible.

Well, where would you like to meet?
I can meet anywhere you want.

In a parking lot?

No, that's fine.

Brown station wagon.

What's the license number?

Would 2:00 be all right?

Thank you very much. I appreciate it,
Mr. Fewster. Thank you. Yes.

Kay, cancel my 1:00.
I'm gonna take the noon shuttle...

...to Washington. And would you have
a car reserved for me at the other end?

- Mr. Fewster?
- Mrs. Winters, please get in.

I'm sitting on something.

I'm sorry.

Do you always meet people like this?

I don't meet people at all.

Not prime customers of the bank
I've just examined.

I'm sorry you insisted
on coming down here, Mrs. Winters...

...because I can't tell you anything.

I need to know what you told my husband
about Borough National.

I told him nothing.

Mr. Fewster...

...I found the tape.

Now, there's enough on that
to get you in trouble.

But there's not enough to help me,
and I have to know.

I have to know if the bank is rocky...

...if it's losing money.
- It isn't money.

It's where the money is going. And...

...I can't talk about it.
- Well, at least give me your worksheets...

...your notes, your...
- I can't.

They'd know where you got it
in five minutes.

Look, if it's... If it's your job
you're worried about...

...Winterchem will find you something.
- You don't understand.

All...

All I knew was that Borough National
was in trouble, that it had...

...something to do with this account
and some Arab Eurodollars.

But...

...what I didn't know was
how big this must be.

How desperate they are
to keep it all secret.

Because...

...when I started to follow up on it...

...I was told that...

...it was a confidence factor...

...that 21214 was a sensitive area. And...

- What?
- Well...

...I got offered a loan...

...at a very low interest.

A bribe...

...which I took.

God help me.

So...

So, Mrs. Winters,
we're not just talking about my job.

- We're talking about prison or worse.
- Worse?

Mrs. Winters, please, just leave it.

I can't leave it. I need your proof.

Your husband couldn't leave it,
and look what happened to him.

Charlie?

Are you...? Are you saying this
had something to do...

...with Charlie's death?
- I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know.
I can't be sure.

But he found out,
and he died, didn't he?

Mrs. Winters, Mrs. Winters,
they're all over me, and I... I...

If I tell them you came to see me,
what happens to you?

And if I don't, what...?
What happens to...? To me?

L...

I thought...

I thought it was all over
when I took the bribe.

But it's never gonna end...

...is it?

Mrs. Winters.

There's a Dunkin' Donuts
in the Rockville Shopping Center.

I'll meet you there at 4:00.

I'll need some time to get my notes.

This is going to be over, Mr. Fewster.

I promise you.

It's gonna end.

All right. Stand by.

- Hello, Mr. Smith.
- Sam...

...I left some papers
up in Mr. Emery's office.

- No problem. I'll sign you in.
- Thanks.

- Anything up?
- No.

Have a good night.

That's one of the rewards
of working at night, no phone calls.

- Good evening, Henry.
- Evening, Mr. Emery.

You've got a hectic week ahead of you,
there's the IMF conference. Johnson's...

That's one of his problems.
We take count.

Europe development speech
is next Thursday.

Not this year. Mrs. Emery's
taking care of the Girl Guides.

That's enough scouting.

Tell George that when he writes...

...that community trust speech
he can forget Adam Smith.

I know it was enough.

I don't understand how we could've
been so wrong on interest rates.

Warren went long on bonds again,
tried to cover himself.

I'll accept his being wrong
but not his refusal to admit it.

- You gonna talk to him about it over lunch?
- A drink should do it.

Maybe Chase can afford him. We can't.

- Just part of the image.
- What about that little list of yours?

- I'm not gonna need you tonight, William.
- Yes, ma'am.

Hub?

Hey.

I'd just about given up on you.

- Oh, thank God you're home.
- Yeah, where you been?

- Oh, just hold me.
- Oh, I was getting worried about you.

- Just hold me.
- Tell me if you're okay.

Something awful happened in Washington.

What were you doing in Washington?

It was an accident. You know,
one of those close calls.

I feel so silly.

I think I need a drink.

While you're at it, get one for me.

Scotch on the rocks with a twist.

Mr. Emery there? Hub Smith calling.

No. This won't keep. Can't you find him?

Look, I have to talk to him.

If he calls in, tell him...

Tell him we've got to
talk about 21214...

...before anything else happens.

That's right...

...21214.

I can't speak for the president
of the United States.

He runs his shop. I run mine.

But I'll tell you this.

Bankers are more dependable
than governments.

We don't lie to ourselves.

We can't afford to.

Isn't that right, Hub?

I'd like to think so.

We've just been joined by
a most distinguished banker.

About 20 years ago,
he sat where you are...

...drinking in my words with the same
skepticism that I see on some of your faces.

How do you account for the fact
that for 30 years after the Depression...

...there hasn't been
a single major bank failure?

Now there's one every 18 months.

Herstatt in Germany.
Franklin National here.

The international character of banking today
makes everyone vulnerable to everything.

Somebody sneezes in Zurich,
we say gesundheit in New York.

The important thing to realize is...

...that everything is interconnected.

We're all in this together.

- This is Hub Smith with Borough National.
- Professor Aikens, it's a pleasure.

Will you excuse us for a few minutes?
I'll catch up with you later.

Well, you're a surprise.

People will start talking about us, fella.
What are you doing?

As a matter of fact, right now
I'm trying to keep my temper.

See, after that flutter we had
at Borough National yesterday...

...there was one Saudi Eurodollar deposit
that didn't roll over.

It was transferred instead
to First New York.

So I went over and had a little talk with
your computer about that stray 5 million.

You set me up, Max.

You didn't want me
to save Borough National.

You just wanted me to keep them afloat
for you to siphon off that Arab money.

You've been doing it for months.

Is that a fact?

Don't dance with me, Max.

You have 21214 listed
as a foreign-exchange account.

But you don't buy other currency
with those dollars. You buy gold.

But you have to do it slowly because
if anybody finds out what's going on...

...the dollar will drop, and all the Saudi
investments over here won't be worth shit.

You're being a little wild and woolly here,
aren't you, fella?

There have been some
perfectly normal transactions...

...that wouldn't raise an eyebrow
anywhere.

Borough National is just the tip
of the iceberg, isn't it, Max?

I checked the inflows in 21214.

There are billions coming in
on a regular basis...

...from Arab and OPEC accounts you
control in at least 15 other banks.

You're moving the Arabs into gold.

- You're taking them out of the dollar.
- That isn't a crime.

It isn't against the law.
It isn't even a conspiracy.

Just a routine banking operation.

And if we didn't handle it, they'd
find a lot of other people who would.

Goddamn it, Max.
You don't just do this on your own.

You go to the Comptroller
of the Currency...

...the Federal Reserve Board,
the secretary of the Treasury.

- You call the president, for chrissake.
- And start a real panic?

Have you ever seen anyone
in government keep his mouth shut...

...about anything for five minutes?

Go ahead. Call the Treasury.

Call the Comptroller. But I'll tell you
what's going to happen.

When the Arabs learn that word of what
they're doing is out, they may panic...

...move a big chunk of funds
too fast or the wrong way.

Really destabilize the monetary markets.

Then the dollar will collapse.

Whereupon there'll be a lot of jawboning
by the president, and that won't work.

Then they'll go to selling gold,
and that won't work either.

Then they'll have to go to capital
controls. Freeze foreign assets...

...stop any money from going in or out,
and that will be the end of all the markets.

That will really be the finish. Then you'll
see a worldwide depression that'II...

...make the 1930s
look like a kindergarten.

In two months, you'll have breadlines
in Detroit, riots in Pittsburgh.

In six months, you'll see grass
right over Rodeo Drive.

And Michigan Boulevard
and Fifth Avenue.

And I won't have done it, Hub, you will.

All because you tried to stop a movement
that couldn't be stopped anyway.

Listen to me, Hub.

Money, capital has a life of its own.

It's a force of nature, like gravity.

Like the oceans.
It flows where it wants to flow.

This whole thing with the Arabs and gold is
inevitable. We're just going with the tide.

The only question is...

...whether you want to let it go
like an unguided missile and raise hell...

...or whether you want to keep it
in the hands of responsible people.

Keep it channeled, keep it quiet.

Believe me, Hub.
The dollar will hold. Believe me.

The system will be fine,
providing nobody panics.

I'm looking at you, Hub.

Well...

...I've listened patiently to
your somewhat fantastic story...

...with one puzzling question in mind.

If you wish to say something
to the Arabs, say it.

Why come to me?

Because you know how to get to them.

Sometimes. If they wish to be gotten to.

And exactly what is it I'm to tell them?

That I...

...know that they're involved
in a secret financial manipulation...

...and that they want it kept secret.

And so I'm prepared to trade,
Mr. Naftari, my silence...

...in exchange for Winterchem.

But you have Winterchem.

Our contract has to be renegotiated...

...so that if Borough National
goes under...

...I don't lose my company to the Saudis.

My silence is the only leverage I have.

Forgive me...

...but silence about what?
Some secret financial manipulation?

You expect them to believe me
if I use those words?

Just tell them 21214.

You realize, of course, that they may reject
your whole story as preposterous.

They may not even wish to discuss it.

I'll take my chances.

If they don't get back to me,
they'll have to take theirs.

There's something else
they should know.

While I've spoken to no one about this...

...I've taken the precaution of putting
the evidence I have in a safe place.

Very well, then. I will pass it on.

I so enjoyed your work in films,
Mrs. Winters.

What a pity you decided to give it up.

Hello?

Sorry, partner, I missed
the damned 5:00 shuttle from Boston.

I just got into LaGuardia.

Why don't you go ahead.
I'll catch up with you at the opera.

Listen, you're tired.

Why don't you just finesse it.
It's only a benefit.

Well, I am pretty whacked.

Go on home. I'll call you tomorrow.

- You swear?
- In blood.

Hey, maybe we can get off somewhere
by ourselves this weekend.

Just the two of us. Alone.

- Call me. Okay?
- Okay.

Nettie, first thing tomorrow I want
all the locks in the house changed.

Changed my mind.

Mrs. Winters is not here.

That's okay, Nettie, I'll wait for her.

- Hello?
- Is Mrs. Winters there?

I'm afraid she's out for the evening.

Well, then could you give her a message,
please? I'm calling on behalf of Mr. Naftari.

He asked me to say he's been in touch
with the other party...

...in regards to the 21214 matter,
as Mrs. Winters requested.

And they suggest a meeting
at 11 tomorrow.

Eleven tomorrow. I'll tell her.

Hi, Mr. Smith.

Excuse me.

Okay, what the hell have you been
playing with Sal?

I have nothing to say to you.

What do you know about 21214?

- Enough.
- Enough what?

Enough to protect myself.

- Against what?
- Against you.

Borough National can go under.
You're not taking me with it.

I'm through depending on you, Hub.

I went to the Saudis.
I'm cutting my own deal.

Sorry, partner.
I guess I just lost confidence.

- Do you know what you've done?
- What I've done?

- Smile.
- What?

Smile.

I have to go. Have a nice evening.

Leave me alone.

Get out! It's not your driver! Get out!

Get out! He's not your driver!

Get out!

Lee, are you all right?

I didn't know.

I swear to God, I didn't know.

Yes, Emery here.

What? Not possible. They couldn't.

Everything that goes to them
clears through me, personally.

I'm afraid the matter
is out of my hands now, Mr. Emery.

Whatever they're planning
is out of yours too.

- It's not the children?
- No, no. Business.

Absolute nonsense.

Okay.

The Arabs yanked every penny
they had with us.

They hit all the other outfits too,
so it's across-the-board.

Every bank in the country is gonna be
struggling for liquidity...

...trying to cover those cash withdrawals.

We're dumping everything.

Treasury bills, bonds, Fannie Maes,
commercial papers, we want it all sold.

Fed Funds, Eurodollars, borrow
whatever you can find up to 200 million.

Foreign exchange, no positions.
Bullion, grab what you can get.

All right, let's hit it...

...and pray.

Maybe we could try to borrow
in Frankfurt...

...or Zurich.

Swiss International owes us a favor.

It's over, Roy.

Twenty-nine percent for three-month
money with no nibbles.

- We may have to go to 30.
- The market's starting to react already.

One large bank is bidding 27 percent
for six-month Eurodollars.

Dollar down 4 percent
against the sterling.

I'm running low on contracts.
I need contracts!

One thousand!
Gold jumped $ 100 in 30 seconds.

Dollar down by 5 percent
against the franc.

Borrowers stepping up the bids.

Fed doing another round
of repos at 30 percent.

The customers wanna know
what's happening.

Do I tell them what we're doing?

Tell them anything, Barney,
except what we're doing!

Stock market's off 75 points.

The dollar's depreciated 10 percent
and moving down.

They even yanked the Eurodollar
deposits that weren't due.

First New York is practically down
the tubes, and gold just went over 2000.

By tonight, that'll be cheap.

Hi, Virginia. It's me.

I want you to listen
and listen very carefully.

As soon as you hang up,
I want you to go to the closet...

...take the suitcase
and get to the bank.

It began eight days ago
when a group of Arab investors...

...withdrew billions of dollars
from U.S. Banks.

That, in turn, started a chain reaction
on the world money markets.

Dollars, pounds, marks, francs, yen,
not one currency escaped.

This scene, outside a Manhattan bank
was duplicated all over the world...

...as people saw their life savings
become worthless...

...in a matter of hours.

Good evening. I'm George Page
in New York.

And this is another in our series of reports
on the world economic crisis.

The growing paralysis
of the industrial world...

...has left millions without jobs,
without money...

...and without hope.

Crowds of unemployed
poured into Washington yesterday.

They stood in silent protest
before the nation's leaders.

At the same time, more than a million
people packed St. Peter's Square...

...where the pope urged
calm and nonviolence.

The pontiff asked for prayers
for world leaders...

...prayers and peace and reason.

But the last 24 hours
have been marked by growing protests...

...and ever-increasing violence.

Last night, demonstrators burned
American currency...

...in front of the White House.

And attempts to put out the fires
led to a confrontation with police.

Every hour,
from every corner of the globe...

...there are new reports of outraged crowds
demanding action.

A bankrupt world
seems to be teetering...

...on the very edge of anarchy.

And now for continued coverage
from around the world.

A statement was issued
from the OPEC meeting today...

...that the leading oil-producing nations
would resume oil exports...

...as soon as the international
monetary markets have stabilized.

The panic has spread across political
and philosophical boundaries.

The U.S.S.R. And the developed
Eastern European Communist countries...

...dependent on Western trade
and capital...

...have witnessed the same riots
that have taken place in the West.

The economic summit conference
will be attended by leaders...

...of the West, the East
and the Third World.

Said one, "There is a need
for unity of purpose and resolve...

...unequaled since the end
of World War II. "

At this time of crisis, there has been
a turning to the past as well as the future.

Words spoken by Franklin D. Roosevelt
in the depths of the Depression...

...were quoted in the Senate today.

"This is preeminently the time
to speak the truth...

...frankly and boldly.

Nor need we shrink from honestly
facing conditions in our country today.

This great nation will endure
as it has endured...

...will revive and will prosper.

We face our common difficulties. They
concern, thank God, only material things.

Each age is a dream that is dying...

...for one that is coming to birth. "

I've been worried about you.

How are you?

Like everybody else.

Looking for a way to begin again.

You're gonna need a partner.
