Gib mir deine Hand.

- I can't sp... - Gib mir deine Hand!

- I don't... - Pig!

Deine Hand.

What are you doing?

Who the fuck are you?

Du magst deine Spille?

- I don't understand. - Take. Off.

Your. Shirt.

- What? - Schnell!

- Why are you doing this? - Du hast mich gefragt.

You asked me, like a little piggy.

What the fuck? I didn't...

- Little piggy. - Fuck...

I never asked you to do anything.

- You contact me! - No. No, I didn't...

Ich werde dich essen.

What the fuck?

Wake up!

Why do you have pictures of my wife?

Ich wusste nicht, dass du verheiratet bist.

In English, you piece of shit!

Du verrücktes arschloch.

It's all for you.

You wanted it, you came to me.

On das computer, look at the folder,

"Das Opfer."

THE VICTIM

You begged me.

Like a little bitch.

You wanted it, you made it easy for me.

Oh, Jesus.

You told me exactly what you wanted me to do.

Du kleines Schweinchen.

It's impossible.

The best piggy yet...

Dich zu versprechen,

kleines Schweinchen.

It's fucking...

It's fucking impossible!

It's better when you struggle.

For your wife, it will be slow.

It will hurt her.

- This is a great meal. - Agreed.

Leave a message after the tone.

Hello, Alex.

I've got five billion dollars up here,

asking me what's wrong with the man

they're about to entrust said five billion dollars to.

Call me back.

Fuck!

All right, that's it.

I've had enough, let's get out of here.

- Yeah. - This is a waste of time.

All right.

Oh, mutiny.

Speaking for all of us, Hugo.

We'd like to hold off any firm decision

on further investment until we've spoken to Alex.

We would like some assurance.

Well, I've given you every assurance...

From him. We need to hear it from him,

or we may be less inclined to take up your offer.

Okay.

I understand.

So, why don't we flip this little predicament?

Since we've been in this restaurant,

our company has made 30 million dollars.

That puts us up to nearly 90 million on the day.

It's a lot of money, isn't it?

See, you've all been looking at this the wrong way.

We offered you the chance to further invest,

because of the privileged relationship

you have with us.

Because, let's be honest,

I show those numbers to anyone else in the world,

and they would bite my hand off to be part of it.

So, by all means,

take a few hours to think it through.

Have a stroll around Geneva, see some sights.

But anyone not back at our offices

by 5 p.m. with their checkbooks out,

will not be offered this opportunity again.

Have a pleasant afternoon.

Hey.

Take me to Dr. Hoffman's house.

I've been assigned to Alex.

Not anymore,

because you fucking lost him, didn't you?

Yeah. Open the door.

Oui, monsieur.

Can you turn the air conditioning on, please?

It's hot.

Rue de Village, s 'il vous plait.

Hurry, please.

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for your husband.

Where is he?

I don't know, I haven't seen him.

You're leaving him, I hear.

- Am I? - Fuck!

You couldn't have waited until tomorrow?

You have to be this bloody selfish?

Wow. That's an interesting take on the situation, Hugo.

You know, I just watched him come this close

to joining us for that bloody lunch.

- And then he ran away. - I don't know where he is.

Would you tell me anyway, that's the question?

Probably not. Because he's not well, Hugo.

And you know that.

Why do you have it in for me?

- I mean, I'd like to know. - Okay. All right, Hugo.

- You really want to do this? - Yes.

Right now?

Okay. I don't have it in for you.

But you must have known about his previous breakdown.

And you thought it was okay to send him to the office,

after he'd been attacked. What is wrong with you?

I didn't send him to the office, he's a grown man.

The future of our company is at stake today.

You could have handled it, Hugo, and you know that.

No, what are you talking about? Of course not.

He's the genius, they need to see him.

That's what they want.

I need you to help me.

Because if you don't, it's highly fucking likely

that this company will be shut down.

And I know you'd hate to be the one to have to give him the news

that everything he's been working on

for the last decade is gone.

Because if anything's going to cause

another breakdown, that'll do it.

So, help me.

Please, Gabby.

Fine.

I get it, Hugo.

But I care about Alex, not the company.

I'll go and wait at the office. Maybe he'll turn up there.

He comes home, you call me?

Okay. You do the same.

Absolutely.

The explosion on the aircraft

operated by the Swiss airline Vista Airways

is now being considered a deliberate act of terrorism.

Families of the victims gathered near the crash site

to pay their respects,

holding a vigil to pray for those lost.

There was clearly a rising sense of anger

at how something like this could happen.

And whether key intelligence was missed.

Financial markets have reacted to the crash,

with Vista Airlines stock at an all-time low.

Analysts are also concerned about heavy trading...

...in direct opposition

to the previous week's market.

I need to know if you've taken off the position limit?

What?

No, of course not.

But it's been removed.

That's impossible.

VIXAL's just breached the limit, and trades are soaring.

I thought you must have authorized it.

This is wrong. It's just wrong.

I mean, the trade's good, they're going up.

That's not the bloody point. The limit is there for a reason.

We have to close VIXAL down, now.

Okay. Stop here.

I need to see her urgently.

My name is Alex Hoffman, just tell her it's me.

It's extremely urgent.

Monsieur! Monsieur?

Dr. Hoffman.

Victor, excuse-moi.

Alex.

Look at this.

I got this off a man

who I supposedly hired to attack me.

Read it.

I'm begging him to kill me.

A conversation between two men.

One who dreams of killing

and the other who fantasizes about dying.

The man who fantasizes about death, that's me.

The thoughts that are in here,

I remember having them, when I was ill.

I told you about them.

How did they end up in this computer?

I have no idea how something like this could happen.

Then I'm truly losing my fucking mind.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Alex...

That means that I've bought things,

I've met with people,

and I've hired someone to...

...attack me at my house.

A fucking cannibal.

Why would I do that?

You treated me...

Why?

- Are you looking at my files? - Yes.

Do you write down what I say?

Can I see them?

Can I see them?

You gave someone my files.

Why would I do that?

How else could the conversation be in this laptop?

Word for word.

Alex, I can see you are angry, and I suggest you calm down.

We can try and work out what happened.

You called the police?

Alex?

Alex!

- Is this an overreaction? - An overreaction?

- Yeah. - What are you talking about?

Well, pulling the plug.

I mean, I know Alex is off the radar, but VIXAL's...

Lin, Lin, what the fuck are you talking about?

Shit, sorry, Hugo,

the position limit has been removed,

risk is growing exponentially, and Marieme is panicked.

She wants to pull VIXAL offline.

Well, she can't. Where is she?

In her office, Pieter's there too.

Marieme's seeking approval from the board,

she's setting up a conference call.

Fucking hell. I'm sick of that woman.

Amber, darling,

I'm going to be upstairs with Marieme.

If Alex calls you, just come straight in there, all right?

Oh, fucking Clouseau.

Inspector, we couldn't do this another time, could we?

It's just that I'm rather up against it today.

Oh, yeah. Of course, Mr. Quarry.

I will telephone the station immediately

and ask them to put the investigation

on hold for a moment while you unfrazzle yourself.

The Swiss discover sarcasm.

Tell Marieme if she does anything before I get there,

- I'll rip her lungs out. - See you up there.

Obviously, I would never actually carry out the threat.

Have you seen my laptop?

Give me that!

Do you have any idea

who might want to destroy Dr. Hoffman?

I've no idea.

Alex makes a lot of money for a lot of people.

They love him.

I understand that you've worked with him for eight years,

and how did you meet him?

I'd heard about some science geek, who worked at CERN

who had some interesting theories

on neural networks.

Ah, and you went to CERN.

Obviously.

But he'd already left by then.

Yeah. Because of the breakdown?

Well, someone's done their research.

Anyway, I turn up at his apartment, uninvited.

I gave him the best pitch I have ever given.

Still said no.

Said he didn't even know what a hedge fund was.

But making money appealed to him?

- He was... - God, no.

He's never been interested in money.

But he needed money to further his research.

That's how I got him.

I mean, sorry, who works for who?

Excuse me?

Who is the boss?

We're partners, Inspector.

Oh.

But he didn't go on a mission to find you.

And what the hell are you getting at, exactly?

Uh, it sounds to me like you're very in need of him.

He is an investment, no?

Has he arrived?

No, but Marieme just called.

They're waiting for you in her office.

Right, well I'm afraid

I'll have to cut this short, Inspector.

Ah, excuse me.

Wait!

Centre ville, s 'il vous plait.

Mr. Quarry...

Mr. Quarry, I'm sure you really want

to protect your investment.

And if he were, I don't know, suffering another breakdown,

or delusions, or possibly becoming a danger

for himself or others,

you wouldn't want the authorities

to take away that investment, would you?

It's an interesting theory, Inspector.

I'm very happy for you,

but I genuinely have no idea where Alex is.

And I literally have business to attend to.

All right?

Mr. Quarry.

You seem very agitated.

I think you know you've lost control.

Amber, will you see the inspector out?

Inspector?

Inspector?

Baby.

Alex, where the hell have you been?

I'm sorry, I...

Hey. Hey.

Alex...

I don't want to lose you.

You're not going to.

But something's happened.

What's happened? Alex, talk to me.

I've done something.

Gabby, listen, I need you to book us a flight somewhere,

my credit cards have been frozen.

Can you do that? Can you book us a flight?

Okay, just come here first...

And then we can talk about this.

Let's go to London.

- Let's go tonight. - Tonight?

What? No.

Please?

Okay. Okay.

Please, come home.

What the hell?

Alex? Alex, are you there?

There's one more thing I have to do.

Sorry, I'm so fucking sorry.

I love you.

I love you too.

- I gotta go. - Alex? Alex!

What the hell is going on?

- Do you know where Alex is? - No. Next question?

Hugo, VIXAL has somehow removed the safety limits.

- That's impossible. - No. It's true.

I have never seen anything like this in my life.

VIXAL is making extremely risky, even reckless calls.

It's also removed the hedge.

- What? - Yes, it's gone.

We've not merely abandoned

our long position on S&P futures,

we're actually shorting S&P futures.

We've increased our position on VIX futures

to something approaching one billion,

and we're buying out of the money puts

that are so extreme,

that I just can't take the responsibility...

We're having a major impact on the global market.

This doesn't just affect us anymore,

and that's why we have to pull the plug.

All right, everyone. Let's just shut up.

Let's not put on a show for the fucking geeks out there.

My office.

Oui?

Bon.

Here we are, Hoffman technologies.

No, keep going, take a right up here.

Fuck!

And Tropix Pharmaceuticals?

Does Alex know something I don't?

Because we've taken a massive chunk of a company

that yesterday meant nothing.

Jesus.

We're not pulling anything, Marieme.

It's our only option.

Override VIXAL, and put the hedge back in place.

Bypass VIXAL without consulting Alex?

I would consult him, he's not answering his phone.

This is just breathtaking irresponsibility.

He knew we had a problem.

He knew we were meeting this afternoon.

Hugo, I wouldn't say this

if it weren't for the circumstances.

But I believe Alex may be having some kind of nervous breakdown.

- The signs are there. - Shut up, Lin.

Go right here.

Stop, slow down here. Slow.

What's going on here?

Laying cables, fiber optics.

For who?

This building.

Keep going, keep going up here. Keep going straight.

There's an underground carpark right up here.

Just go up to that...

We have to ask the board for a vote of no confidence.

What? About Alex?

Now you listen to me, Marieme,

any mention of Alex being mentally unstable

to anyone outside this office and this company is finished.

If we don't take steps now

and face up to what may be happening to Alex,

and shut VIXAL down,

the company is not only finished,

we could all end up in jail.

Well, I'm sure you've covered your own ass.

If we don't override VIXAL and put the hedge back on,

what are the brokers gonna say?

They won't allow us to trade un-hedged

on our existing terms of settlement.

So we may have to provide additional security.

Numbers. How much?

Like... half a billion, I'd say.

Fine.

- Each. - Fuck.

Okay. Stop here. Thank you.

Keep the change.

What does the P&L say now, Marieme?

Up 77.

Well, there you go. And yet, you're panicking.

I can't see that a system

that has made nine million dollars

in the ten minutes I've spent with you idiots

can be called a failure, can you?

It's purely theoretical profit.

It could be wiped out the moment the market recovers.

And is the market recovering?

No. I accept that right now the S&P 500 is falling.

Maybe VIXAL is a better judge of the markets than we are.

But VIXAL is malfunctioning.

How? How exactly is it malfunctioning?

It was right about Vista Airways, wasn't it?

And now we're looking at this situation

with Tropix Pharmaceuticals, aren't we, Lin?

Well, if there's an outbreak, and that vaccine works,

then we stand to make a lot of money.

Then at best, it's completely immoral.

This is a hedge fund, not a convent.

And at worst, it's bordering on insider trading.

And blood on our hands.

Have they found Alex?

No, but the investors are here.

Put them in the boardroom. I'll be up there in ten minutes.

Well, seems we have our investment,

and VIXAL is working.

This is wrong, and I refuse to be a part of it.

Well, then, Marieme, I accept your resignation.

And I'd like to thank you for your service.

- Come on, Hugo. - If it's any consolation,

I was gonna fire you next week anyway.

But, thankfully, with your resignation,

you forfeit all bonuses,

settlements, or claims

to anything other than a fucking box

with which to pack your shit.

I want you gone by the end of play today.

Uh?

What?

Ladies and gentlemen,

what a pleasure to see you all again.

Do you know Tropix Pharmaceuticals

is going through the roof?

We all want to be involved.

And we want nothing more than to involve you, Bill.

Any signs of Alex?

Our involvement isn't contingent on Dr. Hoffman being here.

Of course not, Elmira.

We're up nearly 100 million for the day.

And all predictions point towards

that figure rising 50 percent

by the time the markets close.

Breaking news coming in.

The WHO...

Still think I'm overreacting?

...in West Africa.

Currently affecting localized areas...

Hugo, the World Health Organization

has just announced an Ebola outbreak in Guinea.

They're closing the borders.

So VIXAL works.

We're about to make a fortune.

Early sources suggest that medical teams

are moving quickly to try to contain the outbreak,

but numbers are high.

What is that?

Would you excuse me for just a second?

- I'm getting out. - Come on.

Let's go check this out.

I'm being spied on!

I was right. I knew it!

He's got cameras on all of us.

Alex, do you maybe want to step down off the desk

and we can talk about this in my office?

He had cameras in every room.

Genoud is working against us.

I was fucking right!

He's filming fucking everything!

He's trying to destroy me.

I was right.
