(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

They killed him because of me.

In Russia, they will kill you because when you start on that path...

...you become an enemy for life.

(SPEAKING IN ENGLISH) I am a beauty therapist.

Hi. Lyudmilla?

-You go with these men now. -(SCREAMS)

I need you to me in Prague next week.

I'm having issues with the Czechs.

I agreed to move your capital for you. That's it.

KLEIMAN: This man Reznik knows nothing about finance,

but there are others around him who do.

Karel Benes. Nice to meet you.

You are someone we'd be very happy to do business with.

(GROANS AND YELLS)

I'll take her.

KLEIMAN: Reznik is dead.

This is how it works, I'm afraid.

That's all you had to say.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

It wasn't from Russia.

Two years pass. Four. Ten.

Sooner or later, they come for you.

What's wrong?

Nothing, Papa.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

This is counterfeit beer.

What else are you smuggling?

OFFICER 1: Officer Hancil, over here...

Business is good.

Maybe I should leave the force too.

See you next time.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MAN: Mr. Benes.

What do you want us to do with the beer?

Store them here until the end of the month.

Vadim's men will be looking for them.

Two shipments intercepted for every ten that get through.

That's a rise of over eighty percent in the last three months.

A rival dies, but our business is hit.

How could it be possible?

I spoke to our guy, Kilmov, in Prague.

He swears he had nothing to do with it.

If you read the police report, there was no sign of a break-in or struggle.

It was either an accident

or he killed himself...

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Take it easy, Papa.

(GROANS)

(SPEAKING IN ENGLISH) Okay.

Now, how is the feeling in your left arm?

-Better. -Okay.

-And your accident was ten weeks ago? -Yes.

Now I'm going to give you some exercises to help strengthen the muscles.

So if I make my hand into a fist.

MAN: I know your father's not interested in counseling.

He has his family around him.

We're all very close.

I understand, but it's important

that we get to the root cause of his depression.

He's living in a foreign country.

He's lost his brother.

We appreciate the care he's had but we can look after him too.

REBECCA: It got dark at three and I was working late,

so I never got to see the city.

Oh, that's a pity, it's very beautiful.

I know.

I did take a stroll around the Royal Palace in the snow.

-Excuse me, Miss Harper? -Yes.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

I was at business school with Miss Harper's partner.

I'm Antonio Mendez.

Britt Anderson.

-Nice meeting you. -Yeah.

You were at Harvard with Alex?

Yeah, long time ago.

-Excuse me, it was lovely to meet you. -Bye.

-I'm sorry. -No, um...

Well, what do you do now?

I own a fishing fleet, that's why I'm here.

-Are you based in London? -No.

I'm mostly between Mexico City and San Diego.

But I visit Europe a lot.

I'm trying to convince Alex to come and see me in the South of France.

I'm thinking of investing some money in his fund.

It might be too small for him to take seriously.

(DOOR OPENS)

You're back late.

I thought you were gonna be an hour.

It was pretty fun for an embassy party.

I met your friend, Antonio Mendez.

You didn't tell me he invited you to the South of France.

He asked me, too.

Don't worry, I won't come.

Antonio?

Yeah, how come you never mentioned him before?

He was very complimentary about you.

What was he doing at the Norwegian Embassy?

Oh, trying to persuade the ambassador to give him a fishing license.

What did he say about me?

He says he voted you most likely to succeed at Harvard.

Are you gonna say yes?

To what?

His money.

I'm not sure yet.

-There he is. -Where?

Gosh. Well, he doesn't look like that now.

It's like they got the wrong photo.

WOMAN: Quarterly reports gone out on the EM,

but you still haven't shown me anything from the global fund.

(SIGHS) I'm sorry, I'm just been really swamped.

Jake also wants to replace Todd Miller.

-Who? -The heavy metal guy.

The guy who does our IT.

Jake thinks he may have been snooping inside the trading system.

Well, can't Jake deal with it?

He needs your approval to let him go.

Why don't I come back when you've cleared your head?

Sorry.

(PHONE RINGING)

-Yep. -RECEPTIONIST: I have Antonio Mendez

on line one.

Can you take his number? Tell him I'll give him a call back.

ALEX: Mr. Mendez. ANTONIO: Hola?

Alex Godman.

Apparently, we were at Harvard together.

What can I do for you?

I'm interested in your global fund.

I was hoping we could meet.

All you had to do was make an appointment with my secretary.

I was thinking about your security.

Perhaps you should have done same when you visited Prague with Mr. Kleiman.

Mr. Kleiman is a client.

You've accepted a great deal of money from him.

I assume, you know where it comes from.

We carried out all the necessary checks.

So if the authorities took a look at your global fund,

they find nothing?

Don't worry, I'm an old friend, remember?

Nobody needs to know about this.

Not even Mr. Kleiman.

When would you like to meet?

Whenever it's convenient.

Rebecca may have told you I'm staying in Antibes in the South of France.

She isn't familiar with the global fund or Mr. Kleiman.

It will be more discreet if you came to visit me as a couple.

Perhaps if she had accompanied you to Prague,

you might not have come to my attention in the first place.

I'm open to the meeting but it has to be on my own.

I'll book your flights for this weekend.

You stay in a hotel near my villa and spend a wonderful weekend together.

(KIDS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

(WHISPERS)

(KIDS EXCLAIM)

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Papa, you traitor! We're not friends anymore.

Three months ago we had everyone in Mumbai in our pocket,

now Chopra says he needs more money for bribes.

What's new? The people in this business are greedy.

Someone's financing their rivals.

In Prague too.

Listen to our children laughing.

That's more precious than all the money in the world.

Tonight, we don't worry about work.

She's charming but I'm not into it right now.

Next time, bring your own date.

Anna, kids, come here, dinner is ready!

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

(LINE RINGING)

VADIM: I need to go to Prague tomorrow.

Can I come?

It's business.

So? You do your work. I'll look around.

It's a business trip, you'll be bored.

(SPEAKING IN ENGLISH)

Do you wanna come to the South of France?

You decided to go?

I'll see what he has to offer.

Well, Sydney is supposed to be coming to town.

We can go on a weekend.

Hopefully, it'll just be a couple of meetings with Antonio.

You and I can spend the rest of the time together.

Sure. Why not?

KLEIMAN: I want to open a top class casino ship in Eliat,

instead of the second-rate places we have now.

Even in Beirut, they have a super casino.

Restaurants, entertainment, cabarets.

It generates nearly $50,000,000 a year, net.

That is with 15% tax on revenue and 30% tax on profits.

The Prime Minister understands to allow a casino

will help the local economy.

But he worries about gambling, addiction and crime.

A crime is the last thing he needs to worry about

as long as we regulate the casinos properly.

Addiction, there is nothing I can do about it, unfortunately.

Please...

You flirt discreetly

but there's never any suggestion of sex.

If they make advances,

you're polite.

But you let them know you're not one of those girls.

You come from a good family,

have a private income.

And you're only interested in talking to them

because they're fascinating.

Once they realize you're not interested in their looks,

they'll try to impress you with their minds.

What Mr. Kleiman wants to know

is how they plan to negotiate.

How high they're willing to go.

Yeah! Do that again. Yeah!

MASHA: You're interested in going to business school in America.

Ask their advice.

Let them tell you how clever they are.

And remember everything

even what you don't understand.

WOMAN: (ON PA) For security reasons, baggage left unattended will be removed

and may be destroyed.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

REBECCA: Wow.

REBECCA: Antonio.

Ah!

-REBECCA: Hi. -So glad you're here.

It's good to see you, my friend.

You didn't have to meet us.

You came all this way, it's the least I could do.

How was your flight?

REBECCA: Nice and short.

Good. And hotel's not bad.

-Is this okay? -It's perfect.

I'm having a few friends over for dinner at the villa tonight.

You're welcome to join us.

REBECCA: That would be great.

Why don't I check in for you while you decide?

I just need your passports.

-Thanks. -Welcome.

Thanks.

(REBECCA CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(DMITRI SPEAKING RUSSIAN ON PHONE)

I'll come and see you.

I haven't been feeling so good.

No, don't worry.

I'm fine.

I miss you too, darling.

In have to go now.

I'll see you soon.

Katya.

How is she?

There must be something wrong if she phones me

So Katya and you are speaking Russian together now, are you?

Yes.

How long will you be?

It depends on the ducks.

Need your walking stick?

(LIFT DINGS)

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

My darling little one,

I love you so much.

I almost wish...

that Oksana knew.

That way, we wouldn't have to lie...

My sweet darling, Masha...

...without you, I have nothing to live for.

Why don't you have any tattoos?

Why should I have tattoos?

You went to prison.

Hmm.

I'm a Jew.

Hebrew slaves used to have tattoos...

...to show who they belonged to.

I'm not a slave.

You never told me how you got this?

It was when...

They wanted me to leave the country.

They blew up my car.

(EXCLAIMS)

Just a small fire.

But it burned. And I...

(DMITRI LAUGHING)

So, why did you leave?

Because I love my family.

(KIDS LAUGHING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hi.

Thank you.

Thank you. Rebecca, come see the view.

Were you in the same year at Harvard?

Yes.

I am a little older than Alex, but I was a late bloomer.

I was the Mexican foreigner,

he was the Russian foreigner, so we became allies.

Why were you a late bloomer?

I came to America as an illegal.

It took me five years to get my papers.

-You were smuggled in? -By boat.

We call them Pangas.

And mine was the small one, only 40 people.

We landed at Encinitas, near San Deigo.

That's where I lived my first five years in the US and that's where I live now.

Well, that has a nice circularity.

And it's good business too.

The one thing I learned on my boat journey

is America is one big coastline.

You conquer the sea, you have a lot of business to yourself.

And you, how did the two of you meet?

We were both interns at Goldman, in New York.

I was nervous as hell, and he looked like he was born to it.

Was it love at first sight?

No, I loathed him the minute I laid eyes on him.

He was rich, handsome, entitled.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

How did you win her around?

I don't scare easily.

(LAUGHS)

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

No way!

We're tourists. Come on, you'll love it.

(IN ENGLISH) How much is that?

DRIVER: Hundred euros, 20 minutes. 200 for one hour.

That's too much.

Come on, we're Russians, we're not Americans.

Take one hundred for one hour.

Okay.

I'm taking the boat out tomorrow,

it's going to be perfect weather, apparently.

We could picnic near the Ponteil

have a swim, and finally get round to business.

Or not. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

Good night. Thank you again.

Oh, my God, I haven't had head-spin like this in years.

Close your eyes.

Uh, makes it worse.

How's the weather for tomorrow?

Perfect, like he said.

Well, I'm sorry.

This isn't gonna be a dirty weekend.

ALEX: It's okay,

I'm happy with an undirty weekend.

(VADIM SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Apart from the trucks, what other parts of our business have been hit?

Some of our African dealers were deported last month.

I saw some street vendors being arrested in the main square.

Are they ours too?

Yes.

We don't pay the cops enough?

We pay them plenty.

But who knows what's going on with their internal politics.

Or someone's paying them more.

I told Marat already, it was an accident or suicide.

This man dies...

...and within three months...

...we lose twelve trucks...

...and the police start deporting our dealers.

Is that an accident?

You don't think a rival gang may have gone after him?

And now they're coming after us?

No one would dare.

There are no rival gangs here.

Then go to the police and find out who's taking bribes...

...to disrupt my business.

In this country, it's best to leave the police alone.

Is that your advice?

I'm here for two days with my daughter.

By the time I leave, I want this situation addressed.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

(SPEAKING IN ENGLISH) Hi, Papa.

Hi.

Hi, Mr. Godman.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

I was out drinking with Sasha and Yuri.

I haven't seen them since I left hospital.

You okay?

I'm fine.

And you?

(SPEAKING IN ENGLISH) Maybe we should go.

Finishes in five minutes.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Are you sure you're okay?

(SIGHS)

Of course, I am.

"Without you, I have nothing to live for..."

(GROANS)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(IN ENGLISH)

-Katya? -Papa.

I need to speak with your mother alone.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Katya's watching TV.

You came back late.

You don't get to order people around.

(KLEIMAN SPEAKING IN ENGLISH) Thank you, Joseph.

You were very charming tonight, my dear.

Thank you.

Can you take her home please, Joseph?

I'll be fine.

Goodnight.

You can smoke if you like.

I don't smoke.

Where in Russia are you from?

Outside Moscow, you won't know it.

I was born in Moscow.

Kapotnya.

You're right, I don't know it.

When did you leave?

In '92, when I was six.

You still speak Russian?

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

With an accent.

A child's accent.

You sound like a six-year-old.

(SPEAKING IN ENGLISH) Mr. Kleiman is a good man.

He'll look after you and your mother.

Glad you came?

I don't know yet.

They're twins from Sardinia.

You'd never guess, but their younger brother drowned last month.

They were smuggling 10 kilos of cocaine for a Eurotrash party in Ibiza.

Got caught in a storm,

but didn't alert the Coast Guard, for obvious reasons.

They're smuggling cocaine on this boat?

You mean, am I?

(CHUCKLES)

The most you could hide in this yacht is around 250 kilos.

One of your friend, Mr. Kleiman's cargo ships

could smuggle at least 20 times that much.

Are you a strong swimmer?

You can relax. I'm not going to blackmail you.

How you run your fund is your business.

You still haven't told me how it came to your attention.

I knew your uncle, as well as Mr. Kleiman.

He mentioned you briefly before he was killed.

And then I discovered you went to Prague with Kleiman.

We were observing him, not you.

Why didn't you approach Mr. Kleiman directly?

-All I do is invest his money. -We did.

We offered him a fortune to lease his cargo ships

-but he turned us down. -He must have had his reasons.

Of course.

Who'd want to get in business with someone like me?

What about my uncle?

Did you know he was planning to kill Vadim Kalyagin?

He asked me for backing and I gave it to him.

If someone wants to get rid of my competitor,

I'm not going to stand in his way.

If you're not interested in blackmailing me, why am I here?

I was curious to know who you are.

-and if we could help each other. -To do what?

I want to move my products directly into Europe.

In order to do that,

I need your friend Kleiman's ships and infrastructure.

I was hoping you'd have more luck persuading him than I did.

How does that help me?

I'd be competing with a man who killed your uncle.

Anything that hurts Vadim is good for you, no?

I invest Mr. Kleiman's money, that's all.

I don't see how I can help you.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Reznik...

...was crazy.

He drank too much.

Took pills.

The police found nothing to suggest...

You know how many times we've done this ourselves.

How competent are the police here?

They know what they're doing.

But they found no sign of a struggle?

Struggle?

Find out who was in charge of the investigation?

Who was responsible for this police report?

ANTONIO: (IN ENGLISH) What time's your flight tomorrow?

Around four.

So come to the villa for lunch. It's on the way to the airport.

That will be great.

One more chance to see your gorgeous view.

-Thank you. -Oh, you're welcome darling.

ALEX: Why don't we skip lunch at Antonio's tomorrow?

Stop off in Cannes.

Why?

Do you want to get engaged?

Why are you proposing now?

Sun stroke.

You'll get embarrassed if I tell you.

Probably.

Go ahead.

Without you, I have no idea who I am.

Better say yes then.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Would you like a drink?

(IN ENGLISH) No, thank you.

-How is he? -You know Dmitri.

It's for you.

I won't see him again.

Did I say that?

You and I have to make a decision, what's best for him.

If seeing you is the only thing that makes him happy then

he should move in here.

-He'd never do that. -Of course, he will.

He loves you, you love him.

You'll look after him. Take him to the park,

listen to him complain. Put him to bed when he's drunk.

And clean after him when he throws up.

And when he's too old to wash himself, that's not far away now,

you will wipe his ass with a Kleenex.

I don't know what to say.

There's nothing to say.

You have him, all of him.

Or you get out of my life.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Bitch.

Your mother used to light dozens of these at a time.

She was worried if she forgot someone something terrible would happen to them.

I was always running out of change.

Guess who this one's for?

You still believe in that stuff?

You lit a candle too.

I suppose it can't hurt to have him on your side.

Her. It's the chapel of the Madonna.

(PRAYING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)

So?

I spoke to my contacts.

The report on Reznik's death...

...was filed by an officer named Josef Hancil.

What about the police reports on our intercepted tracks?

Any mention of the same man?

With the cops it's always best to negotiate.

I'm sure we can reach an agreement.

I'd like to speak to him.

Hmm.

(SPEAKING IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

(GRUNTS)

Three months ago, a man called Reznik fell off the balcony of his apartment.

You were in charge of the investigation but found nothing suspicious.

I heard someone is paying you to kill him or cover it up.

I want to know who that is.

And if it is the same man who bribed you to stop my trucks

(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Go to hell.

-(IN ENGLISH) Fine. -(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

I don't need you to say much. Just a name.

A name.

Benes.

Karel Benes.

(GRUNTING)

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Give me your shirt.

(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Klimov wouldn't kill a policeman.

Find out what you can.

WOMAN: From the factory or fake?

From the factory. It's real.

-100 euros. -Okay.

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Where were you?

Sorry. What have you been up to?

I bought a bag.

REBECCA: Well, Sydney's theory is that the markets are amoral.

They are designed to work like machines

but unethical behavior like greed and dishonesty get in the way.

With respect, that's easy for a billionaire to say.

REBECCA: (CHUCKLES) Back me up, Antonio.

So what? We should just replace bankers with robots.

MAN: And husbands too. (CHUCKLES)

MAN: I can only speak for Mexico.

If you have a minute? I'd like to show you something before you leave.

MAN: Greed and desire are crucial to our economy.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

So, when you see your friend, Mr. Kleiman

I'd be grateful if you passed on a message.

I don't have the exact date or the name of the ship,

but sometime next month Vadim is planning to smuggle

a ton of heroin through Mumbai.

The deal was brokered by elements

within Russian and Pakistani intelligence.

The shipment itself, it's a drop in the ocean.

But if something were to go wrong

it would embarrass Vadim in the eyes of his backers in Moscow.

Please assure Mr. Kleiman, I want nothing in return.

It's a gesture of goodwill

and I have something for you too.

ANTONIO: It's a gift.

All I ask is that you speak to Mr. Kleiman.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
