The Burma Conspiracy (2011) - full transcript

Propelled to the head of the W Group after the death of his adoptive father, Largo Winch decides, to everyone's surprise, to sell it, and use the proceeds to create an ambitious humanitarian foundation. But on the very same day, he finds himself accused of crimes against humanity by a mysterious witness. To prove his innocence, Largo will have to retrace the steps of his past life, in the heart of the Burmese jungle...

I've found him, Mr. Winch.

In the heart of the
Burmese jungle.

In a Karen village.

Largo has been living there
for three months.

He met her when illegally
crossing the Thai-Burmese border.



She took him to her village,
wounded, and he never left.

Go back there. And
keep your eye on him.

What if he never came home?

Don't be absurd, Freddy.

He'll have to come
out of hiding one day.

Whether he likes it or
not, Largo is my heir.

THREE YEARS LATER

Raised in secrecy for almost 30 years,
the adopted son of Nario Winch

is in the spotlight today following
the violent death of his father,

the heir of a multinational group with
almost 400 thousand employees worldwide.

Today, Largo Winch is one of the
most powerful men on the planet.

But does Largo Winch have what
it takes to run an empire of that size?

- All I know is we know nothing about him.
- We can only judge on his action.

Calling Cochrane back
was an excellent decision.

Dwight Cochrane is a
brilliant manager with a

long-standing reputation
of his cool-headedness.

Oh my God! Oh my God!

AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC
OF BASHKORTOSTAN

"GPS: Find airport."

You humiliated Nazatchov
before the press!

He'll never forgive you.

Find that son-of-a-bitch
Winch for me!

And the journalist bitch, too!

Why did you need to save her?

Would you rather
I'd been killed?

"Find the airport!"

Forgive me, my Cyrillic is
rusty!

I'll do it.

I don't want to die here!

I have a wife! Four children!
A career!

I went to Harvard!
I'm a practising Presbyterian!

GPS calculating route.

Turn left.

I think you're right,
Nazatchov is a bit cross.

It's your fault! You baited Nazatchov
with your questions!

I was doing my job
as a journalist!

- GPS re-calculating route.
- I have a job too, Missy!

I manage a group with
392,000 employees!

Nazatchov exploits and traffics!

Either we sign with Nazatchov
or we lay off...

Keep to the left.

Turn right in 600 feet.

- Holy shit!
- Hang on tight.

- Make U-turn in 300 feet.
- What are you doing?

Make U-turn when possible.

Your jet is
surrounded by police.

Forget the airport.

Nazatchov will never
let us leave alive.

He runs the entire country!

- And that's Alright with you?
- Shut up, would you!

I know a mercenary,
he'll save us.

Lazarevic. An expert
in crisis situations.

Very costly but
highly efficient...

- Hey!
- Let me do my job!

I'm the one paying for your job.
You do what I say.

Customer's always right.

You Bosnians are too
sentimental!

Beware of clichés, they
sometimes end in massacres!

Today, this young man who's appeared from
out of nowhere wields considerable power.

But how will he use it,
only he can say for sure.

LAKE GENEVA, SWITZERLAND

- Hello.
- Good day, sir.

- I'm here for Mr. Jung.
- He's waiting for you.

Tell him to come in.

Thank you for receiving me.

At last I meet you.

- Mr. Jung, it's time for your shot.
- Later.

Later, I said.

She's always on my back.

You'd think she was in love!
Come here.

Look at this.
This photo was taken here.

Handsome, weren't we?

You were my father's
only friend...

His oldest, there's no doubt.

This photo dates back
to October 1947.

He was fresh from
Yugoslavia with his mother.

They lived here, in
the attic rooms.

Your grandmother worked
for my parents until she died.

My grandmother?

Nerio's mother.

Your grandmother, Largo!

I was one of the only people
who knew of your existence.

Nerio often complained to me
about you running away.

About your lack of
gratitude towards him...

It's true,

father and son relations
are complex.

Nerio didn't want a son.
He wanted an heir.

He left me no choice.

But the fortune he left me...
I'll use it my way.

I read your letter.

Your project is fabulous.

As former Red Cross President,

I can only encourage you, but...

But?

The men who run this world all
have humanitarian foundations.

That's nothing new.

The rich give to the poor,

but only a little.

Very little.

Putting your entire fortune
at the service of humanitarian causes

will upset the established order.
Good.

And you will create many
enemies. Very many enemies.

And very powerful ones.

"A man with no enemies
is no man at all."

Bosnian proverb.

Don't make light of my words.

Mr. Jung?

Mr. Jung?

The needle...
The needle!

I'm happy to have met you.

You'll be all right.

My wife died of
cancer ten years ago.

My only son died in an accident
when he'd just turned thirty.

No one needs me anymore.

I need you.

- I'll meet you downstairs.
- Just give me two seconds.

See you later, Steve.

Brian.

Don't start.

Hong Kong was without a doubt
the place to be today.

Largo Winch had a big surprise
for journalists at this press conference.

I have decided to sell the W Group.

The money from this sell will be entirely
re-invested in a Nario Winch Foundation.

It will be dedicated to
humanitarian projects,

- scientific research...
- He's sexy.

...and any good ideas we could come up.
I think he's gonna be a tough one.

if you've got any ideas, we're listening.

The financial world has been
rocked!

Nerio Winch's heir will...

An ambitious project...

...the Nario Winch Foundation now has
a president, the esteemed Alexander Jung,

former president of the International
Committee of the Red Cross.

He shows a frankly
youthful enthusiasm

when he speaks of the
foundation and its project...

You've given me a
reason to live.

The captain informs us that
we've left territorial waters.

Thank you, Gauthier.

I'll open the champagne, sir!
For the occasion, I've chilled

a bottle of Grand Siecle 1981,
which was given to your father

by Mikhail Gorbachev at the opening
of the Minsk paper factory.

Of course, in this
overcast weather,

rosa champagne might
be more appropriate.

I have a Laurent Perrier 2003...

Gauthier, anything you like.

Very well, sir.

If you please?

There you are!

No regrets, Largo?

This agreement is irrevocable.

Your access to W Group accounts
will be frozen as soon as you sign.

Prior to the final sale,
you'll be a poor man again.

It's a classic contract.

Kromberg Partners guarantees you
a buyer within two months.

Moreover, the sales
price is indexed

on your stock value,
on the day of the sale.

If the sale took place today,

that would come to approximately
53 billion, Mr. Winch.

That's all?

Should your value rise,
you could hope for a bit more...

I'm joking Mr. Beaumont.

Please initial the
pages and sign.

Why are we signing
the contract at sea?

It allows us to
sign the agreement

as if we were in the Swiss offices
of Kromberg Partners.

With full Swiss tax advantages.

And a signature...

Hong Kong Marine Police,
stop immediately!

I repeat, Hong Kong Marine
Police, stop immediately!

Back off!

Go!

- This is an act of piracy.
- Return to your craft.

We're going to carry out
a search of the boat.

You're in international waters.
We have all the required authorizations.

Who're these people?

Who are you?

We're with the International
Criminal Court.

Deputy Prosecutor Francken
wishes to question you Mr. Winch.

She could've called my office
for an appointment.

Knowing her, she's in
your office right now.

If you're looking for an eraser,
it's in the upper left hand drawer.

A sense of humour on top of it.

Only when someone
searches my office.

Pandora, that name
means anything to you?

A Greek goddess.

If memory serves me she possessed the box
which contained all the evils of mankind.

I have another version,
more contemporary.

It's about a secret bank account

used to pay off a corrupt
Burmese general.

I like my version better.

Mine's not a legend,
unfortunately.

In southern Burma, a small minority has
been oppressed for years by military junta.

The Karen People.

Three years ago,
General Kyaw Min

and his men destroyed
the village of Kay Pu.

The villagers were massacred,
raped and deported.

the luckiest ones
fled into the jungle.

The general led the
operations personally.

The village was located
on a nickel deposit

which is why a multinational
corporation paid

millions of dollars
to General Kyaw Min

to clear the village
of its inhabitants.

The money for this operation

came from the Pandora account

which I suspect your father
Nario Winch of owning.

My father was no saint,
but he wasn't a bastard.

You were in Burma how
long did you spend there?

Five months.

That's right. You
left three years ago,

right after the Kay Pu massacres

I suspect you of going there
on your father's orders.

I also suspect you of being an
accomplice to this massacres

The last contact I had with my father
was more than three years before he died.

Someone misinformed you.

And your being there
was a mere coincidence.

The very day I announce the
creation of my foundation

a prosecutor shows
up and accuses

me of crimes against humanity.
You think that's a coincidence?

A conspiracy theory?

I'm coming.

So that's a door but you have
no key, is that correct?

Open this door, Mr. Winch.

It's Freddy Kaplan's cabin.
Only he has the key.

I told him.

Must I break in?

Do what you want,
only do it fast.

Oh my God!

Freddy!

Death by strangulation.

It occurred at least
12 hours ago.

No wonder you wouldn't
open the door.

Are you accusing me
of murder as well?

Monsieur Winch!

Calm down, Mr. Winch!

Inform the Hong Kong Police.

I hated Freddy for many years.

Whenever I ran
away he'd find me.

Every time.

He was watching over you.

He was spying on me.

Freddy knew exactly
what I was doing in Burma.

He knew I'd no contact with Nerio.
He'd have cleared my name.

Do you think that's
why he was killed?

Many very powerful enemies...

You were so right.

I only wish I could help you.

Was Nerio capable of doing
something like that?

That massacre?

No. Of course not.

He was my friend I want
to believe he wasn't.

Kay Pu is 30 miles to the north.

They said there is nothing
left after we left.

The resistance fighters
brought them here.

Maluna?

Kadjang!

Kadjang is from here.
We grew up together.

Largo is my friend.

Come on, I'll introduce
you to my comrades.

Ko Sin, Som Sak, this is Maluna.

Come on!

Thank you, thank you!
You are an angel.

You're welcome.

Hi!

I picked them up on the road.
Was only a small detour for me.

Hot around here.

Isn't it?

Could I have something to drink
before I hit the road?

Oh, thank you!

This is a Burmese Army pass
signed by General Kyaw Min.

Ay!

What the hell are you doing here?

- I just bring them... these people.
- Ay, what is your business here?

- Do you know General Kyaw Min?
- I got nothing to do with all that.

I'm just a driver.

Some guy hired me to drive him
around the region for a week.

He's the one who know the general.

Liar!

- I didn't do anything. It's true!
- Shit!

Stop it! Stop it!

You stay out of this!

You want to help him, do you?

You stand out for him

'cos you are just like him.

He has a chance of making it.

But he will never forget.

No one will ever forget.

You can't stay here.

You want me to leave?

What about you?

I'm going to join
the resistance.

I want to fight.

Fight.

Kadjang will be proud of you.

Go away, Largo.

You have to leave.

- Says who?
- Me.

I'm telling you this
because I don't

Then come with me

if you love me.

I don't love you, Largo.

I don't anything about you.

I don't know who you are,
where you come from.

I don't know what you're running from,
but I don't want to run with you.

I know who I am

and I know I belong here.

I don't want to see you anymore.

Get out of my home!

Now!

You're god of a liar.

Did AAA send you?

Let's just say "yes".

They sure are on the ball.

We have to get going.

My name's Simon.

Simon Ovronnaz.

Largo.

So one day I come home from work

and Eleanor says: "I got a job
at the French School of Bangkok."

For me, Asia meant
Chinese take-out joints.

But it didn't take me
long, I decided to come.

She took the post
and I found a job too.

'Cause, you know, I'm totally
lost without Eleanor!

Shit, I can't see a thing.

She might not be a
babe, but she's sweet.

We've been together since
we were twelve years old.

She's my mother's best
friend's daughter.

We're supposed to get
married next year!

Thailand.

She's got everything all planned

I'm sorry, sir. I just can't
get off of this assassination.

Freddy'd been working
for your father for years.

Miss Pennywinckle,

did my father ever mention a
certain Pandora account to you?

Not as I recall.

- But I can check my files.
- Yes, please.

I'm sorry sir, I have
nothing about that name.

Thank you.

Three years ago, these massacres
took place in eastern Burma,

some 20 miles from the Thai border.

The Karen people living in
this area had been oppressed

for years by the
military junta in Burma.

It is important to know
that this region's south shore

- is particularly rich in various nickels
- I've just spoken to the judge

- in charge of Freddy's case.
- Any chances?

This investigation is not
going to be an easy one.

however, the economic
sanctions imposed by the UN

limit commercial
dealings with Burma.

Do we have operations
in this country, yes or no?

We have no holdings in Burma.

Any projects?

Difficult to say, in any case
none to have been denied.

There is no Pandora account.
The accusation is based on nothing at all.

Absolutely ridiculous.
What? Thank you.

Dan Khongpipat is on
the line from Bangkok.

Dan is in charge of the
group's interests in the region.

- Hello, everyone.
- What news do you have there?

According to my information,

Prosecutor Francken wants to organize
a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Winch

and an eyewitness in Thailand.

Looks like our little prosecutor
has a hidden trump card.

- Did you hear anything about this, John?
- Let me see.

- Who's the witness?
- No idea.

Upon Francken's request

an elite Thai police
unit is keeping watch on

the witness day and night
in a secret place.

We've received the summons to meet

tomorrow at the United Nations
headquarters in Bangkok.

Okay.

- You are not going to comply, are you?
- Why not?

Well as your lawyer, I strongly
advise you against it.

I want to know who this witness is.

Thai authorities are behind Francken.
In Bangkok, you'll be at her mercy.

Largo, let your lawyers
do their job, please.

What do we have on
the prosecutor?

Well, when she started
up at the finance team

in the Public
Prosecutor's Office in

Florida

she landed a number
of CEOs in jail.

Half that was a flash of lightning.

Her enemies say she has
personal scores to settle

because she comes from a wealthy
East Coast industrial family.

What... what would work about her?

Hello. What is your
password, please?

Pandora.

Thank you.

What type of transaction
do you wish to make?

I'd like to know my balance.

One moment, please.

The credit balance of your account
is 65,824,127 dollars.

Miss Pen... Miss Pennywinckle,

do stop crying, and please book
two tickets for me to Bangkok.

What about your private jet?

No one but you must
know about this trip.

And... and the second
ticket is for who?

BANGKOK AIRPORT
THAILAND

I'm not sure I'm the proper
person for your mission.

I suffer horribly
from motion sickness.

I must take these in order to
survive on your yacht, sir.

Quinoa mixed with dried
cassava and bamboo shoots.

It's miraculous.

It acts upon the neuron-transmitters
that regulate nausea.

A dear friend in Peru whom I met

when I was with the
MacMullans sends it to me

This is Dwight Cochrane, please
leave your message after the beep.

I just saw your pal
Lazarevic in Bangkok.

I know he's efficient,
but I need no protection.

You can call off your watchdog.

It certainly is hot!
Humid too, no?

Welcome to Bangkok.

Customs informed us
of your arrival.

I'm counting on you, Gauthier.

Of course, sir.

It's a pleasure to see
you again, Mr.Winch.

The witness is on the way.

Not very talkative today.

You haven't asked me anything.

Don't worry, I will.

Good afternoon, Miss Ang
please have a seat.

Kay Pu case, fact-finding meeting between
Miss Maluna Ang and Mr. Largo Winch.

Miss Ang, do you know this man?

Yes.

Would you explain your
relationship with him?

We lived together
for a few months.

I only knew his
first name, Largo.

Can you repeat what you've told me
about Mr. Largo Winch's

involvement in the
dramatic events at Kay Pu?

Mr. Winch pretended
to be a tourist

a backpacker

But in reality

he was working for his father

He acted as a go-between for
General Kyaw Min

and Nerio Winch.

He told me everything
after the massacre.

He wanted me to flee with him.

- Maluna
- I refused.

look at me, Maluna

Don't try to intimidate the witness,

Look at me, Maluna! Look at me!

Mr. Winch!

I remained silent for too long.

I owe it to them,

to all those who disappeared.

I owe them the truth about
you and your father's gifts,

the harm you did.

I must speak.

What do you want? What
is that you want exactly?

You want money?
Who's paid you for your lie?

What is this fuckin' crap?

I told you, you're a goddamn liar!

Don't say that!

Take her out

Don't say that!

Who do you really work for,
Miss Francken?

I work for people
like that young woman

so that people like you
and groups like your's

can't exploit them and slaughter
them for pocket change.

No.

I loved that woman

I lived with these
people for months.

They were the most beautiful
months of my life.

I'm incapable of doing any
harm whatsoever to them.

Come on, you're being played, Miss
Francken. The question is by whom.

I have the authority to
hold you in custody.

I'll give you time
to think it over.

It's me again, sir. I desperately
need to speak to you

so I've decided to leave
yet another message.

As requested, I am looking
for a certain Simon Ovronnaz

I met his fiance
or rather ex-fiance -

who was not very cooperative.

Apparently Mr. Ovronnaz
left her abruptly three years ago.

She still holds a grudge.

But rest assured,

I pursued my investigation
by questioning the caretaker.

The man - who incidentally
had appalling bad breath -

indicated the address of Mr.
Orvonnaz's new lady friend

Well, his ex-lady friend now.

Charming by the way.

From what I gather, Mr.
Ovronnaz has moved south,

to Ko Sukon, to live
with another friend

If you see what I mean.

Since I've had no news from
you, sir, I shall travel

Darn!

It cut off.

I'd hoped Lazarevic would organize
a commando operation to free me.

I got your message.

I've had no contact
with Lazarevic

since the Nazatchov episode.

He flew into Bangkok
on a Winch Air jet.

As it happens, half his fees
which were quite steep

were paid in Winch
Air flight time.

He goes where he
wants, when he wants.

He's a mercenary who works
for the highest bidder.

As for you, Largo,

the Thai Justice Minister
arranged everything.

I had nothing to do with it.

Someone informed him
that you were in jail

The Thai government wants no
trouble with the W Group.

Did he convince Francken
of my innocence?

- Francken has no proof.
- She has a witness.

She had a witness.

I told you, the Thai authorities
arranged everything.

Largo?

Largo!

Where is she? What did
you do with the girl?

- Where is she?
- We deported her back to Burma.

Do you realise what that means?

She's part of the Karen resistance.
She will be executed.

- We did it to help you!
- Cancel the order.

It's too late, Mr. Winch.

I don't see

Largo!

Sorry about it.

Largo!

How much did the minister get for this?

How much?

With no witnesses and no proof,
there's nothing I can do.

Well, I may have some news
that'll cheer you up.

My friends over at the CIA
gave me something interesting.

The phones of inners network
picked up a call yesterday

from the W Group Building
to a bank in Switzerland,

in the conversation during which
the word "Pandora" was overheard.

MAKILING MILITARY CAMP
BURMA

Drive through!

Move it!

Hello, Mr. Cochrane.

Mr. Winch isn't here?

What powers of observation!

I hear he might have

disappeared?

Mr. Winch signed a
contract with you.

Just find us a buyer.

I told you, we have
a serious offer.

Perfect. Where is it?

Follow me, Mr. Cochrane.

'cuse me so sorry to bother you but we
have an appointment with Mr. Nazatchov

I'm here, I'm here

Good to see you
again 'Mr Cocaine'

Winch isn't here? What a shame!

Our...

Oh really? What is this candid camera?

What makes you think that

If I were you I wouldn't talk
that way about my future employer

Mr. Nazatchov as of yesterday's
closing the value of the Winch Group

was estimated at approximately
53 billion dollars

How do you intend
to pay such a sum?

Well actually Mr Cochrane

Mr Nazatchov already agreed
to pay the 10% guarantee

Oh did he really?

Well than enjoy you
meal gentlemen

See you soon give
my regards to Largo

when you see him

Excuse me Mr Nazatchov

Mr Cochrane!

UNITED NATIONS GENEVA,
SWITZERLAND

Vladimir Podolsky,
Private Secretary.

- Did you have a good trip?
- Thank you.

- This is my assistant.
- Hello.

Sorry we're late. Is he here?

The Swiss are punctual,
so imagine Swiss judges

Do you know what the expression
"bank secrecy" means, madam?

Do you know what the expression 'crimes
against humanity' means you honour?

You don't want Switzerland
to lose it's status

as the world's leading
tax heaven do you?

Protecting more criminals?

What exactly do you want?

Leave us alone.

Put this on.

I want to dine
with a real woman.

And there aren't many
in this rat hole.

Put it on!

You did a good job.

Winch went to great
lengths to find you.

He contacted me.

Magnificent.

Really magnificent.

Sit down.

With the money Winch
will pay me to free you,

I'm going to leave this jungle.

And this shitty country.

I'm going to become a new man.

I'm going to start a new life.

You could come with me.

I'll take good care of you.

I'll treat you like a princess.

Have you forgotten?
You can't say no to me!

Have you forgotten already?

Send a Jeep for Winch tomorrow.

As soon as he transfers
the money, we kill them.

Both of them.

It's me again, sir.

I am still discreetly searching

for Simon Ovronnaz
but despite my efforts

I'm unable to locate him.

The mission you gave
me is difficult indeed.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Scoffing every conceivable
danger, I have pursued my quest,

travelling to the innermost
regions of Thailand,

which one could call picturesque.

My experience as a Scout
has helped me survive

in this foreign-though-not-hostile
land and mix with the locals,

who sometimes even
prove to be warm.

As for Simon Ovronnaz,
he's no longer in Ko Sukon.

Financial difficulties,

if I correctly understood
his recent ex-lady friend.

Thank goodness, I
have a new trail

in Bangkok.

That's all, sir, I hope you're well.
I worry about you.

Where are you?

Call me as soon as

Darn!

It cut off.

Stay behind the car!

I have waited four
years for this moment.

If I knew I meant
that much to you.

You'll kill me another day.

Malunaï first.

I don't need you to save her.

I only need this !

There're three of you.
There're 800 of them.

I arranged that you would
know I was taking this road.

I have a plan, Kadjang.

So you haven't seen her for three years?

She disappeared several
weeks after you.

I thought she joined you.

No.

Then why did she leave?

I have no idea.

The general is expecting us.

He wants to see this man.

I've received the orders.

Get moving!

Want us to go up in flames?

What's going on here?

Who are they?

What are you doing here?

I've got a prisoner for you.

What's this bullshit? Answer me!

Where'd you come from?

Run for the jungle! In small groups!

Come on! Hurry up!

Malunaï!

- No!
- Malunaï?

My son is in there!

Why did you think
I did all that?

They took my child
away from me!

I'm going to tell you
a story Mr Winch.

Three years ago, your father's
group hired me to do a job.

And I did the job as agreed.

But the second payment that
had been promised never came.

Your father refused to pay me.

Do you think that
is honest Mr Winch?

I think my father should never
have paid you a single dollar.

If the three of you want
to leave this room alive

you're going to have to pay
me the 25 million dollars

But I've sold the group

I don't have access to
the accounts anymore.

Your must have some money
tucked away somewhere

for when time gets tough.

That's my account number.

25 million dollars.

Hello. Your password, please?

Pandora.

Hurry up!

Come on!

Yes, I confirm the transfer.

I will wait for the confirmation.

As soon as I have it,
I'll let you go.

Don't move!

Don't be afraid. Mummy is here.

Mummy will come and get
you. Don't be afraid.

Yes.

Hmn, okay.

He can leave. You stay!

Largo! Largo!

We're leaving now!

Hold on tight.

General Kyaw Min speaking.

I'll be at the rendezvous.

Your intelligence was
perfect Winch paid.

But... he got away,

with the girl and the kid.

We've to take care
of Winch ourselves.

That's why you
leave the village?

He has your eyes.

But he has his father's smile.

How old are you?

Two and a half.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- Tell you?

How? Where?

Your first name Largo
That all I knew

I've raised him alone.
And I'll continue to do it.

You don't need to worry.

I'm not worried.

What's your name?

His name is Noom.

Noom!

Come here.

Come on, come here.

Let's see how you steer a boat.

What if I find an arrangement.

5,000 dollars.

Look, I pay you in DVDs.

I've got 500. That include
the Transformers.

Among civilized people,
there is always

Eh, eh, slow down

There is no need to
hurt your guest.

Good afternoon, Miss. Excuse
me for disturbing you.

You're here for the DVDs?

Eh, no. I'm looking for a
Mr. Simon Ovronnaz.

Simon, come in.

That's not gonna cut it, Mmn?

Will it be possible for me to
settle the gentleman's debt?

You are indeed Simon Ovronnaz?

A little holiday
will do us good.

Sir, excuse me sir,
this is a private property, sir.

Do you have any rooms left?

Yes, we have one suite left. The
price is 3,200 US dollars the night.

May I ask how you'll be paying?

The old-fashion way.

Follow me please.

I was tied up to a rope!

Upside-down!

I was this close to dying.

Believe me, it changes a guy.

When I got back to Bangkok,
my life with Eleanor was over.

I wanted to live!

Your boss saved my life!

I think I've understood.

You've told me eleven
times to be exact.

Eleven times!

I'm so fucking indebted to him!

Hello? Sir?

It's you!

I'm with Simon Ovronnaz.
I found him, sir!

I found him!

Is it him?

Hold on, sir!

You've waited three years, you
can wait another three minutes.

Yes, sir, everything's fine.

And you, where are you?

Not next door, Gauthier.

You'll have to travel a ways.

He seems well-behaved.

- Not always.
- It's good.

I told him about you
often You know?

really?

But you don't know
anything about me.

Only my first name Largo.

I know the colour of your eyes.

The sound of your voice.

The scent of your skin.

Your teasing leader's smile.

I know that too.

And I know

Well, I hope you didn't
tell your son that

How's the water?

Now how is the water?

Cold.

I was a pretty naughty son.

I'm hoping I'll be
a better father.

It seems you were right
consistently taping their phones.

Do you confirm the transfer
of 25 million dollars

from your Pandora account,
to account No. 634 TX 49?

This account belongs
to Kyaw Min.

Yes, I confirm the transfer.

This time we've got him.

- My saviour!
- AAA at your service.

You know he saved my life?

I need to understand Nerio
Winch's relation with Kyaw Min.

How can I find the guy you
drove around? He should know.

That won't be easy.

He's dead.

Excuse me, do you
have any pancakes?

- Yes, we do.
- Thank you.

But I might be able to help you.

I think I know why your
father didn't pay the general

THREE YEARS EARLIER
The guy hired me for a week.

He had to go to Burma.

A business trip, he said.

We stayed in a military
camp there for a few days.

He hung out a lot with
the army general.

He said nothing to me,

but I knew something was up.

Then one day, the soldiers
left on a mission.

They returned with
dozens of prisoners.

Women, children, wounded persons

The soldiers had burned
down their village.

Totally destroyed it.

Apparently that was their plan.

But then things went wrong

I still have not received anything. It
should have been transferred two days ago.

It will come. Don't worry.

You are the one to be worried.

You have 4 hours.

Mr. Winch, if you don't
transfer the money

Yes, I know!

Think how big those
mines will pay off.

I couldn't!

I figured your dad had
greased a few palms

to get the mining concession.

But what he didn't know,

was that civilians would
be massacred in exchange.

Hello. It's me.

I talked to Nerio Winch.
He refuses to pay.

You've got to talk to him.

Go see him.

Then he said we had to escape.
Fast.

- Where are you going?
- To find the girl.

I was free to move about,

so I left the camp
to wait for him.

Let go of me, shit!

Let go of me!

Let
Let me go!

- Give me time! Give me time!
- No, you've already had your time.

- Give me time! No. Give me time!
- Why're you running away from here?

- Where the hell is your money?
- No I have it.

Where is your money?
Where's the money?

Go to hell!

An hour later, I hit the road.

I picked up some wounded.
You know the rest.

Your father wasn't responsible
for the massacre.

What was the guy's name?

Thomas. Yeah, Thomas.

You don't remember
his last name?

I never knew it.

Why would I have?

The pretty young
woman staff of you?

We will meet her soon.

When I arrived in Bangkok,
I'll wire you a million dollars.

No.

You don't want the money?

I don't want your money.

And why? It was your idea!

Blackmail, the girl, and
you are here as planned.

Someone is going to
pay me, general.

Some who doesn't
like you very much.

My father is innocent.

I don't care, Largo.
All that counts is you.

What's that?

When they kidnapped
us two months ago,

they gave me a shot,

with a sort of syringe,
a very big syringe.

Who kidnapped you?
Kyaw Min's men?

- No, they were westerners.
- Was a woman with them ?

Yes, I think so.

It's too deep.

They put something
under your skin.

Get it out!

It's a GPS tag.

Whoever put it there knows
exactly where we are.

Gauthier? Meet me downstairs.

Our jobs done.

Mummy!

Mummy, where are you?

Where are you, Mummy?

Come on, let's get dressed.

I want Mummy to dress me.

We have to leave.

Mummy?

Mummy had to go.

General Kyaw Min is
the man responsible for

dozens of deaths of innocent civilians
during the massacres at Kay Pu.

We now have unequivocable
proof of the

Pandora account which
belongs to Mr Winch.

I have decided therefore
to charge Mr Largo Winch

in complicity with
crimes against humanity.

This latest turn of
events comes on the back

of rumours that the Winch Group will be
bought out by magnate Virgil Nazatchov.

The highly controversial
businessman seems to have

found the funds necessary
for the operation.

You've never seen a kid?

Let's go.

I want this son of a bitch.

I'll find the tapes of
the security cameras.

He came in with his bodyguards.
I couldn't do anything.

What the hell are
you doing here?

that Winch's decision to sell the group
was made prior to his legal troubles.

Shares have fallen 27% since
the charge against Winch,

and it's just the beginning.

Seems Nazatchov is making a fabulous deal
beyond anyone's expectations.

I've paid the 5 billion
dollar down payment.

The final sale takes place Monday at noon
in the Geneva office of Kronberg Partners.

We'll need to re-decorate.

My name is Nazatchov.

Where's Mummy?

Mummy isn't coming back, Noom.

Mummy is dead.

She's gone forever.

But she's watching over you.

And she'll always love you.

What'll you do now?

You can't let that
scoundrel Nazatchov win.

That swine!

That son - of- a

- I beg your pardon.
- I don't care about Nazatchov.

Hang on, isn't it his fault
the kid's mother died?

You can't leave your
group in his hands.

Think of what he'd
do with such power.

You have a responsibility.

He won, Gauthier.

I signed a sales agreement, he
paid. There's no turning back.

Do you know the
legend of Pandora?

Zeus gave Epimetheus a gift:
Pandora, the first woman on Earth.

She possessed a box, which
Zeus forbade her to open,

but one day, her curiosity
got the best of her.

And she opened the lid.

The evils of humanity escaped
and flooded the Earth:

old age, disease, deceit and insanity

Terrified, Pandora quickly shut the box.

Fortunately

for it was not entirely empty.

One precious little thing remained
at the bottom of the box:

Hope.

And from that day onward,

though Man might be stricken
by great misfortune,

deep inside, there always
remains a glimmer of hope.

You cannot lose hope, sir.

Not as long as you're alive.

- What is your password?
- Pandora.

I would like to make
a 7-dollar transfer.

Seven dollars? Four plus three?

That's correct.

What is the destination account?

Mr. Winch, I have the
information your requested.

A Winch Air jet is standing by
at the Bangkok Airport.

The crew have rooms
at the airport hotel.

Your miracle works as usual.
I love you.

Mi... Goodbye, Mr. Winch.

Yes, Winch?

I'm leaving for Geneva,
I'll be there for the sale.

Winch!
Winch!

- Yes.
- Nazatchov.

- I got something.
- Me too. Winch is on his way to Geneva.

You fucked up. Considering
the money I'm paying you

I'm counting on you to solve the
problem as soon as possible.

So, Dwight? I hope you've
put your sweater on.

It can get quite chilly
in Switzerland too long.

So what exactly is your plan?

Yes?

You have the sign?

What do you mean you didn't
finish pilot training"?

My teacher died suddenly.

An accident?

Murder.

Strangled by that guy there.

Welcome aboard Winch
Air, gentlemen.

Anything I can do?

Yes.

Stop fidgeting.

You have to eat.

You're not hungry?

Shit, they're scary even
when they're asleep.

Shit, you scare me too.

I hope you don't have stock
in the Winch Company.

Not yet. But I was planning on getting
some not out of my price range.

We found the guy who received
the 7-dollar transfer from Winch.

- Not my type.
- Dragan Lazarevic,

former member of the Serb special
forces during the Balkan war,

after the war went
into private security,

quite successfully judging
from his reputation.

Nice credentials.

I wanna know everything he's
done in the last month.

I don't know about the last month,
but as we speak he's on his way to Geneva.

He'll be landing in one hour.

Yes?

Speaking.

Thank you.

The pilots were found
in their hotel room.

Tied up.

Geneva tower, Winch
Air Quebec Zulu.

Radar guidance on Runway 3G.

We're beginning our descent.

If you only knew how
happy this makes me.

Nazatchov has transferred
more than 800,000 dollars

to Dragan Lazarevic over
the past three months.

Looks like Lazarevic is
working for Nazatchov.

But why did Winch
send the guy 7 dollars?

To get our attention.

I'll kill you, you
son-of-a-bitch!

Take over the plane.

Stop it!

They just made me commandant

Not in the airplane.
Very dangerous.

Let's see.

Simon!

Hang on tight!

You Alright?

No problem.

Where are you?

Yes, of course.

I'll send my driver.

Where exactly are you?

Hello. Passports, please.

You always travel
armed like this?

Those are all his men, alright!
But Dragan Lazarevic is not here.

I'll accompany the
police for questioning.

- Keep me posted.
- Yeah.

The nurse will be right down.

Alexandre Jung. Welcome.

Simon Ovronnaz.

- Mr. Winch refused to come with us.
- He wanted to see the prosecutor.

And you let him?

That's insane!

You don't realize, the
woman is dangerous.

- Hello.
- You work at night.

- Winch.
- I hope it's all on my account.

I know you're in Geneva.

My Lord.

The 7-dollar bank transfer
to Lazarevic is very clever.

Clever? I was expecting your
attention for detail. But I'm wrong.

In any case, you are
right about one thing.

You got a lot of enemies.

In our country there
is a saying that goes

"A man with no enemy
is no man at all."

How's that coffee?

I have something important to ask you.
Will you see me?

Third floor. Ring the bell.

Get in!

I was worried.

No need. I'll explain
everything to Francken.

Nazatchov is a fool. How could
he mastermind such a scheme?

Even fools have
strokes of genius.

Perhaps.

But how did he know
what happened in Burma

three years ago?

He had an informer,
someone inside the group.

I'll come with you.

You're an angel. My leg
barely hurts anymore.

One last drop?

Thanks.

What if Nazatchov were simply
the financier of the operation?

What if someone else
were hiding behind him?

To dream up a plot like that,

you need motivation that
goes beyond the lure of gain.

You need a raging
desire to humiliate,

to utterly destroy and
bring down a reputation,

a name,

an empire

Money alone cannot be
the driving force.

This was

vengeance.

Hatred.

My son was a lobbyist for Nerio.

Thomas

Thomas Jung.

He used my personal contacts

to help the W Group
win new markets

and concessions.

Nerio never baulked
at paying bribes.

That's what "Pandora" was for.

Each time he won a contract,

Nerio paid my son
Thomas a commission.

But all that money
went to his head.

He wanted more and more.

When I saw you for
the first time,

so young, so handsome and rich,

so completely alive

I was approaching death,

but you gave me a reason to live

Vengeance!

Nazatchov is an idiot.

He merely obeys and pays.

Tonight,

you shall kill
Prosecutor Francken.

The only person who can
prove your innocence.

Give him another shot.

There are more vials in the car.

Do what I tell you!

Sugar

Here.

Call the police, fast!

Alexandre!

- Don't do it!
- I did the same!

I begged Nerio to save my son.

All he had to do was pay.

I swear to you, Largo,
I begged him on my knees.

My oldest friend! My brother!

On my knees!

Stop! Don't come any closer!

Your son had become
a piece of shit

and you know it.

He ordered the
massacre in Burma.

He was my child!

Still have to arrest me?

I'd rather invite
you for dinner.

My treat. I heard you
have tapped out.

Maybe not.

Cannot depend upon you.

In light of these circumstances,
there could be no doubt

of Mr. Largo Winch's innocence

I immediately withdraw
all charges against him

for complicity in crimes
against humanity.

Within minutes the
W Group shares

soared back up to their
previous levels.

As a direct impact,
rumour has it that

Virgil Nazatchov will no longer be
able to buy out the Winch Group.

Today Nazatchov was a ruined man,

in addition, no doubt proceedings
will soon be brought against him.

Forgive me for shedding no tears.

But Mr. Cochrane, what became of

the 5-billion-dollar deposit
that Nazatchov has paid.

Largo Winch has decided to turn
this money over in full to his foundation.

In that light is there any
need to sell the group?

You'll have to ask Largo Winch.

Well, do you know where
Largo Winch is right now?

He is right there where he's
supposed to be, trust him.

Are the chicks
pretty in Hong Kong?

I beg your pardon?

The girls

Hong Kong

Largo invited me to
spend some time there.

- Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
- Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Want some Phat Thai?

You and I are gonna
make a great team.

- What do you say, pal?
- I'm not your pal!

You will be soon.

Ready to go?

No.

We'll come back
whenever you like.

I live on a big boat, you know.

No, I don't know.

It's surrounded by tall
houses that touch the sky.

And my office is at the very
top of the tallest house.

Are you all alone up there?

Not anymore.
