Arbitrage Page #3

So who kicked out the door?

Let's go.

You want to tell me what this is?

Better you don't ask.

So all you saying is

you need a ride somewhere?

That's correct.

'Cause I want to be very clear

about this, all right?

You called me up for a ride,

I showed up. I gave you a ride.

No, you didn't. We're not here.

Then where the f*** are we?

We're both asleep right now at home.

Which is where you left your phone, right?

Right.

Yeah, 'cause if anyone checks...

Why is anybody gonna check?

Well, they're not.

As long as we're not here.

Anybody know you're here?

No.

Somebody knows you're here?

No.

Somebody knows you're not there?

My girl. But...

Jimmy! Jesus!

You call me up at 2:00 a.m.!

What the f*** you want?

- I f***ing told you.

- She asked me where I was going! All right?

What did you say?

I told her I had to run out a minute.

You trust her?

Is this the kind of sh*t

you used to do to my dad?

- Do you trust her?

- Yes, I f***ing trust her! All right?

All right, good. Good.

You're at home. I'm at home.

My wife gets up at 5:00 a.m. for Pilates.

I'll be there next to her. That's

where I've been all night long.

You do the same with yours.

I don't know, man.

This is some pretty f***ed up sh*t.

Jimmy, just f***ing do it.

Don't think about it.

No! F*** that, man!

I don't hear from you

since the f***ing funeral.

You call me up out of the blue

using my father's name?

You want money? Is that what you want?

I will give you money!

I will give you 5,000... I'll give you 10,000!

You want to talk to me like this,

you can get the f*** out of my car!

And you can walk. You want that?

You wanna f***ing walk home?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm not myself right now.

You came and you picked me up.

I need your help. You helped me.

I need your help.

I'm sorry.

You all right?

Jesus, man!

What the f*** happened to you?

We gotta get you to a hospital right now.

No, I just got to get home.

Robert, it looks like

you're bleeding inside, man.

I'll deal with it in a couple of hours.

What if you don't make it a couple hours?

Then I don't make it.

Call me, all right?

Let me know everything is okay.

It's best we don't talk for a while.

Hey, yo!

So that's it?

You get in a bind and just call

the only n*gger you know?

Jimmy.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Go on home.

- Yeah. All right.

- Go.

You take care of that.

F***!

Everything okay, sir?

No, I'm fine, Glen. Go back to bed.

Where did you go?

- What?

- I woke up and you weren't here.

I just went to get some ice cream.

Was it good?

- Yes.

- Okay.

Don't forget to take

your Lipitor in the morning.

Ellen?

You still love me?

Of course I do.

Hypothetically,

the situation you're describing

would be involuntary manslaughter.

That such a person...

Would be in a lot of trouble.

Especially if that person were closing

a merger with a large public bank

where any publicity or arrest

could delay or derail the transaction.

But that's only if there were some evidence

that could link him to the crime.

Fingerprints. DNA?

Very hard to collect after an explosion.

Real world's different from television.

What about cell phone records?

Did this person make any calls

from the area?

Not from the cell phone. No.

Then they won't be able to place him there.

What would you advise

such a person to do?

To confess immediately.

Failing which?

To put as much distance between himself

and the event as possible.

If possible.

But let me tell you something.

And I'm speaking to you as a friend now.

There's about 50 things

that person wouldn't have thought of.

And the more time that passes,

the more lies that are told.

The worse it gets for him.

Robert?

Yeah.

They're going to come to you.

I know.

And the accident is not the worst trouble.

If we talk to them now

we can probably work it out.

Now you tell me what happens

when the Standard deal does not close.

I've got to tell my investors

about our real losses.

Nothing good.

What did you say

about the Justice Department?

Depending on what they decide

to arrest me on?

Fraud conviction gets me 20 years?

I did.

What choice do I really have?

Now, you're aware Congress plans

to extend the audit requirements

for private funds.

Of course I am aware.

I gave testimony to the committee.

You know this.

I know. But anyway,

Standard wants to prepare for it now

so I was asked to go through

every one of your trading books

and reconfirm the assets.

No. Absolutely not. It's impossible.

Don't worry.

I gave different books to the team

and I kept Old Hill for myself.

Anyway, I'm here to tell you I cleared it.

The audit's cleared?

The report will be issued today.

Actually, I'm calling it my swan song.

You're leaving?

Yeah. On Friday.

You know, it's a five-year clock.

And why?

To prevent exactly what we're doing.

But honestly, there is nothing

left to worry about. It's great.

Get out.

- What?

- How was it?

- What?

- The show.

What the f*** are you talking about?

The show. Julie's show.

Yeah, it was fine.

Mayfield's here.

He's here? Where?

Sherry Netherland.

He checked in about an hour ago.

He called?

No. Brooke has a friend

on the executive committee

who said he's taking meetings in his room.

I don't know. Maybe he's settling in.

You think we're

dealing with a f***ing idiot?

I spoke to legal.

They said that Standard will sign

once they get the audit report.

Yeah. It's being issued now.

How do you know that?

Never mind that.

Just find out why Mayfield hasn't called us.

How am I supposed to...

Do I have to do every

goddamn thing myself?

Just find out! Will you? Please?

Thank you!

I really can't reconcile this.

Reconcile what?

The Old Hill Fund.

Dad? Are you listening to me?

Of course I'm listening.

Okay. Those trades are in a special book.

They don't get audited here

on the same balance sheets.

Right, but look at this sheet.

There's a $400 million hole here.

That can't be right.

- Hey.

- May I help you?

Detective Bryer.

I was hoping to see Mr. Miller.

Is he expecting you?

Possibly.

I really have no idea what's going on.

But the way that this sheet reads,

half of the fund's assets are missing.

That's ridiculous. It can't be right.

It's ridiculous, and yet, that's what...

Okay, look. I'll look into this.

I promise you. I'll look into this.

Yeah?

There's a Detective Bryer here to see you.

Give me a minute and then send him in.

- Okay.

- Thanks.

Everything okay?

Yeah. It's just my next meeting

came here early, that's all.

We're gonna have to pick this up later.

Mom is looking for the hospital check.

Brooke, we'll pick it up later.

Detective Bryer? Hi, I'm Cindy,

Mr. Miller's personal assistant.

Right this way.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

You can sit there.

We just heard about it. Really terrible.

Okay.

So you were an investor in the gallery?

- Correct.

- How did you meet her?

I think it was a charity function.
