It's a breakdown on real profits, Sir Alex.

Profits directly related to investment policies which I

devised and actioned.

It totals around three million over a three

year period.

As I, I'm quite aware of your brilliant

record Oliver.

You want something, smelt it a mile off.

What's on your mind?

I'm not sure you're going to like it.

That bad, let's hear it then.

You mentioned my work with the company.

I believe I could do even better given

the opportunity and incentive.

Oh, what kind of incentive are you talking

about?

I'm talking about shares in the company.

Impossible.

Why should it be impossible?

Because that's not how we do things.

You know we're a family company, we don't

have outside shareholders.

You're young, in due course you'll have chances

of promotion.

I'm sorry Sir Alex, I'm not interested in

distant possibilities.

I know what I've been worth to the

company, you know.

If it's more responsibility you want, oh well

you shall have it.

Greater incentive, let's discuss your salary.

With this other business...

I make millions for this company.

I feel it's time I had a share

of it.

We play by the rules here Oliver, you

included.

What we don't do is make them up

as we go along.

That's why I must again say no and

that is final.

Well that makes it easier.

You'll have my resignation within a week.

Oh come Oliver.

I don't want to see you jeopardise a

promising career.

I'm asking you to be sensible and patient.

Get your priorities straight.

Priorities change.

Mine did when my father died.

We read the coroner's report on his suicide

Sir Alex.

Perhaps you'll understand.

I do understand.

That's why I want you to think over

what I've just said to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm not prepared to suffer for this.

Oliver?

Tim, yeah.

And thanks for ringing back.

I'd like to pick your brains if you

don't mind.

You can probably give me a few quick

answers.

I'm looking for an old-fashioned investment company

where there's potential for someone go-ahead.

You're thinking of moving on?

Could be.

Well a few names do spring to mind.

Give me a couple of days to think

it over.

Of course, thanks.

I'll ring you tomorrow.

I need to move quickly.

Oliver?

Tim, you got a minute?

Those companies you gave me?

I think I found one that would suit

me.

Bulmont Investments Limited.

Managing Director Mr. J Hamilton.

Senior Investment Officer T.F. Keyes, aged 64.

Sorry we've taken so long to reach a

decision Mr. Platt, but you'll appreciate highly responsible

position.

We had to be sure that you were

the right chap for us.

I'd like to think I am sir.

I believe you are, and I believe that

Mr. Keyes agrees with me.

Right Tom?

Your track record is quite excellent.

I'm sure you'll be an asset to us.

I look forward to the challenge.

You may change your mind when you realise

quite what it means in terms of work.

I'll take that chance.

You will of course be working closely with

Mr. Keyes who is in charge of our

investment policy.

We'll look after him.

Plenty for him to do.

Take some of the routine off my shoulders.

I'll show Mr. Platt around the office will

you Tom?

Then shunt him back here for lunch.

I'd like to continue our talks about investment

policy.

Some of your new ideas I have to

say leave me rather sceptical, but all the

same I'm interested.

I want to hear more.

Mr. Platt?

Oh Lord Platt, we're Bulmont Investments.

Our reputation rests on solid money, solidly invested.

What's this rubbish about recovery funding in Switzerland?

Tax avoidance schemes are not what we're about.

I mean this isn't what I had in

mind when I briefed you to analyse our

current investment policy.

Your brief was to review policy, not initiate

it.

It's useless Oliver.

A pile of presumptuous nonsense.

Has Mr. Hamilton seen it?

He hasn't seen it, nor shall he.

Is Mr. Hamilton in?

Oh you've just missed him.

He's had to go out with a client.

Abandoned Mr. Keyes have you Emma?

Not really.

I'm just standing in for Miss Dixon.

Can I help?

Well he wanted this urgently and I'm pushed

for time lately.

Well that's no problem.

I'll see he gets it.

Would you?

Could you slip it into a folder and

mark it confidential.

It's for the MD's eyes only.

Mr. Keyes and I have considered your proposals

Oliver.

30 percent increase you think on top of

our current returns?

With a tightly selected portfolio through offshore funds

yes.

Why Switzerland?

Well we could get better returns in some

of the more exotic tax areas but I

believe Switzerland currently to be the best option

given the traditional policies of this company.

Well it all seems fairly straightforward on paper

Oliver.

I think we're to try on a modest

basis at first.

Best if I know why we didn't come

up with this strategy earlier.

Could you come in please?

Could you see that these get off this

evening?

Use the standard transfer letter for Bardouin and

for Huygens.

To their Geneva offices?

Yes and here's a draft of the covering

letter to Latimer Holdings.

Thank you.

Are you free this evening?

Nothing too pressing.

I thought we might have dinner together.

You're a bit of a mystery you know.

All the girls in the office wonder about

you.

Not much to tell.

The most eligible man in the firm and

they know nothing about you.

What kind of nothing?

You're married, divorced, if there's a steady girlfriend.

There's not much to tell.

No wife, no steady girlfriend.

All work and no pleasure.

That's not my intention.

Not much time left for anything else.

Later on maybe things will be different.

Oh good morning sir.

Can I help you?

Have you got anything for box 2033?

2033 sir.

Um ah yes here you are.

Thank you.

Good morning Oliver.

Morning.

Mr Hamilton wanted to see you.

As soon as you came in.

He's got the new auditor with him.

I'd better see what they want then.

This is Alan Corwin.

Alan this is Oliver Platt.

Alan.

There's been a whisper of mergers so we

want to get everything neat and tidy Mr

Corwin.

Here to carry out the audit.

Your first time with us I believe.

Yes that's right.

Only our firm, our specialists so don't worry

I shan't waste your time.

I'm available to help in any way I

can.

Morning Alan.

Good morning Mr Hamilton.

Got everything you need?

Yes fine thank you.

Now can I have a moment?

Sir.

Mr. Of course.

Come in.

I can't tell you how impressed I am

by these Swiss deals of yours.

They're working out all right?

Better than all right.

The cash is flowing in Mr Platt.

Oliver please.

Tell me how did you get on with

these people in the first place?

We were prepared to invest in companies just

starting up.

We got lucky.

What do the uh Geneva-based outfits trade

in?

Which in particular?

Well three mainly.

The Spa, Dewey, Heismans and S.Y. Geneva.

Mostly service companies for computer-based industries.

Why did you choose those particular companies?

You don't mind my asking do you?

Well I'm interested.

The choice seemed obvious at the time.

We've selected the best of those put up

to us.

It's performance we're interested in.

Yes naturally.

Only it's just as well to be sure

they're sound companies.

Don't you agree?

They're not messing up the audit are they?

Oh good lord no.

No no no.

Tell you what I'll do.

I'll run a check on them and see

what surfaces.

I'll do that for you.

No no no.

You leave it to me.

Take care now.

Oliver.

Sorry about

that.

Got a lot on today.

Those Geneva-based companies.

What about them?

They're paper dummies.

It's true.

They do no real trading at all.

Simply playing musical chairs with Beaumont's money.

You're saying those companies are not legal?

Of course they're legal.

But instead of sending all the profits back

to Beaumont's, they send a significant amount to

an outfit called Latimer Holdings.

You mean the Latimer Holdings broker for us?

Yes that's right.

The very same.

It's actually quite a complex setup and well

worth looking into.

It seems that they're run by a character

called Williams.

David Williams.

Professional company services limited.

I'd like to speak to someone about the

facilities you provide for me.

Who's speaking please?

This is Mr. Williams of Latimer Holdings.

Box 2033.

One moment sir.

I'll put you through to administration.

Thanks.

Oliver.

You'll never guess.

Latimer Holdings, alias our friend Williams, seemed to

be on the move.

He's cancelled the service facilities he was using.

Really?

So what now?

Oh he'll service again.

He must.

It's a legal obligation.

I know what I meant to ask you.

Who audits the Geneva end of the operation?

Geneva?

That would be Monsieur Vigier.

You know him of course.

Not personally.

He's a first-class man though.

You'll find his work on fire.

Oh well.

Back to the punishment cell.

Did Alan Corwin reach you at home?

Corwin before breakfast.

Don't be disgusting.

I haven't seen him since Tuesday.

Well of course not.

He's in Geneva.

Didn't you know?

That's your final copy of the last audit

Vigier did.

And that's a copy of the original on

file in Geneva.

Incredible.

That's right.

Your copies of forgery covering the profits syphoned

off by our friend Williams.

We must withdraw Beaumont's interests.

It's a right fraud Oliver.

I'd say our friend Williams, when they catch

him, has forged his way into a very

long sentence.

Hamilton will have to be told.

I must secure Beaumont's assets first and help

soften the blow.

Well I don't envy you I mean they'll

want to tear you apart Oliver.

Find out everything.

Border directors, then the police.

Rather you than me.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Of course if they had this character Williams

then you'd be in with a good chance.

Big if.

My guess is he's backed off.

He saw you coming Alan.

Yes.

But we can do better than that can't

we Oliver?

We can nail Williams right now.

What do you mean?

What is it?

Come on.

They're the signatures of the phoney nominees behind

the Geneva outfits.

That's Williams' signature.

Our friend Williams who set up the whole

deal.

That's my signature.

That's right old chap.

The same hand that forged all the others.

That's all right I've had it verified.

You smug bastard.

You've known all along.

Only since Geneva.

Set up was too perfect Oliver.

Make me curious.

What are you going to do about it?

All right let's think.

What should we do?

Tell Hamilton?

Phone the police?

No there must be a better way.

Of course we could help each other you

know.

Oh you haven't met the wife have you?

Ugly old bat.

Well I've got a nice new model.

Beautiful girl.

Ambitious too.

Keen to get on.

Get away from it all.

Make a fresh start with yours truly.

Only one problem really.

Money.

How much money?

A quarter of a million.

New life?

You're crazy.

It's impossible.

What I do have is tied up for

years.

You of all people Corbett should know that.

Beaumont Investments has money.

Well the only way to get money like

that is to dig into the firm's current

account.

They'd know in days by which time I'll

be gone.

And so will you if you've got any

sense.

You're insane.

Well you've got a few days to decide.

And was it only for the money?

No.

I swore I would never let what happened

to my father happen to me.

He worked for a big money firm like

Beaumont.

Made millions for them.

Never for himself.

He got into debt.

Asked his firm for a loan.

He needed it desperately.

They refused and he shot himself.

I nearly won you know.

If it hadn't been for Corwin another few

years I'd have been in the clear.

I gave myself a deadline.

Five years.

After which I'd straighten the books again.

Put back the money I'd used.

The firm wouldn't have lost a single penny.

In fact I'd have made a fortune for

them.

And something for myself.

I want to help Oliver.

I don't want you involved Lela.

I am involved.

I love you.

I've decided I'll do as you say.

Just tell me.

How do you want the money and when?

Cash.

Here.

Five o'clock sharp.

Friday.

And then?

And then?

Well I drive to a small airfield.

Climb aboard my even smaller aeroplane.

By six o'clock I'll be halfway to

France.

Oh yes one other thing.

The Van Diemen securities.

I do need your signature on the cheque

for Latimer Holdings to buy those securities now.

Brought the deal forward have you?

Thought you might.

Here it is if you'd care to count

a sign.

Here.

Yes Mr Swainton.

Large denomination please.

No I'll collect it personally.

No special security arrangement.

Thank you.

2.30 exactly.

Yes.

Goodbye.

I hate to think of Corwin having all

that money.

Don't worry we'll manage.

Are you ready to leave?

Yes I'll be ready.

Corwin's coming into my office at five.

Could you interrupt on some pretext at 5

...15 sharp?

I'll tell you why later but don't forget.

5.15 sharp.

Cash.

Here.

Five o'clock sharp on Friday.

And then?

And then?

Well by six o'clock I'll be halfway

to France.

Exact to the last dinar.

Well you've got what you wanted Corwin.

Just a minute.

Come in.

The documents for Mr Hamilton.

Thank you.

Well take care of it.

Corwin should be over the channel by now.

No.

It's 36.

Oliver I must tell you.

He was on the phone.

He had his back to the door so

he didn't see me and I well.

Well I took the briefcase.

The briefcase?

You took it?

Yes.

It's there.
