Arbitrage Page #6

it won't happen to you.

Thanks to you we may all be arrested.

No one's getting arrested.

That's why I borrowed the money

from Jeffrey.

Plugged the hole.

They see that the books are fine.

Transfer the company.

I pay back Jeffrey, with interest!

I make all of our investors whole,

and what's left we keep.

At least we get to keep the house.

Everybody wins!

Yes.

If we sell the company.

It'll sell.

If I lie for you.

You don't have to lie.

You didn't know about it.

That's why I didn't tell you!

I'm the Chief Investment Officer

of this company.

What do you think they're going to say

at the deposition?

"She didn't know"?

They'll take away my brokerage license.

Failure to supervise you!

My name in every paper and blog,

while I visit your ass in jail?

Did you want me to let our investors

go bankrupt?

Is that what you wanted?

You wanted people to get really hurt?

- What gives you the audacity to think that...

- You want those lies to...

Because it's my job!

- Job! It's illegal!

- Yes.

It's illegal. And I am your partner.

You are not my partner! You work for me!

That's right! You work for me!

Everybody works for me!

Come here.

Brooke, please? Please?

Come here. Just...

Just for a second. Sit down.

There's something I wanna tell you.

Whatever you decide, I won't blame you.

I'm on my own path.

It's up to you to move with it or against it.

But I'm the patriarch. That's my role.

And I have to play it.

For a moment there, I thought

you were going to say you were sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Jimmy?

Come on, man! What?

Take a ride with me.

Where? Back to the station?

No, man. Just get in the car.

What if I say no?

I'm not threatening you. I'm just asking you.

Take a ride with me.

You're wasting my time, Detective. What?

Look, it's pretty f***ing simple.

I know you went to pick him up.

So that's what you want to talk about?

I told you I ain't making no more statements.

I want to know why.

Somebody cares?

Here. Take a look at this.

Take it.

I've got his phone calls.

I've got his text messages.

I've got his relationship with the girl.

They were f***ing, by the way.

And then I've got you.

I've got the time log from the pay phone.

I've got a f***ing tollbooth photograph

of you driving through the Triborough.

What do you got there?

That's bullshit. 'Cause I ain't do it.

It's impossible.

Really?

Look. You lied to me.

You lied to the police.

You obstructed justice.

Talk to Earl, Detective.

F*** Earl! You see this?

This means that tomorrow,

grand jury hears your case in court

and tomorrow in court

I'm going to ask for

a felony obstruction indictment.

Then with your prior,

you're going to prison for 15 f***ing years.

You might get out in 10.

By then you'd be what? 33?

With no job.

No girl.

No life.

Look.

I know you think Miller's your friend.

Who's Miller?

I know about your father.

You don't know a goddamn thing

about my father.

I know Miller paid his bills

when he was dying.

I know that he got Syd Felder

to get you out of trouble

on your gun charge.

That doesn't add up to this.

- You done?

- Okay.

He's driving.

He crashes. He runs away.

Who's he call? He calls you.

Why do you think that is?

'Cause you're disposable.

You're the one person he can call

that just doesn't f***ing matter.

You're a throwaway.

You're just another par': Of his transaction.

Will you open the door?

So, what? What, you're his new nigga now?

Open the f***ing door! I'm not f***ing

playing with you, man! Open the door.

You didn't kill that girl.

He did.

Will you open the door?

He's using you.

I know it. You know it.

Do the right thing.

Now get out of my f***ing car.

What do you think?

He's gonna walk.

Are you certain?

Courts aren't for certainty.

But he says he was at home,

why shouldn't he be?

A phone call doesn't make him a liar.

That's not great. Great.

What's baffling to me,

despite your sentimental history together,

is why you would put your family's future

in this kid's hands.

He's not like us.

Is that a good thing?

I don't know.

How's Ellen?

She's good. Fine. Same.

Why?

I heard something.

Yes?

She met with Gill Deutchman.

The estate lawyer?

Yeah.

Has she mentioned anything?

Not to me.

That was the early morning of April 11th.

Yes.

You received a phone call?

Yes.

Who called you?

It was a wrong number.

That's a lie, isn't it, Mr. Grant?

No.

You were on the phone

one and a half minutes.

Isn't it the case you know exactly

who called you and exactly why?

Why are you lying to this grand jury?

I'm not lying.

I'm going to introduce into evidence

People's A.

This is a tollbooth photograph

taken in the northbound ninth lane

of the Triborough... Excuse me.

The RFK Bridge.

Mr. Grant, directing your attention

to the photograph.

Would you please read

the date and timestamp

indicated on the upper right-hand corner?

This is crazy.

You've got to answer.

Mr. Grant, please answer the question.

"April 11th. 2:
33 a.m."

Again, directing your attention

to the same photograph,

would you please read the license

plate of the vehicle

passing through the toll?

"AOC 8963."

This is People's B.

A printout from the Department of Motor

Vehicles plate registry.

Mr. Grant, directing your attention

to that printout,

are the numbers on the toll photograph,

the same ones

that are on your own license plate?

Mr. Grant?

Yes.

- Yes? The numbers are the same?

- Yes.

- How do you explain that?

- I can't.

But, that is

your car in this photograph, isn't it?

No.

No, that is not your car?

Answer the question, Mr. Grant.

This is not my car in this picture.

I don't know how you all did that,

but this isn't my car.

You expect this grand jury to believe

that that is not your car

when there is a printout

from the Department of Motor Vehicles...

That's asked and answered, Mr. Deferlito...

Mr. Monroe?

You are aware that you're not permitted

to go on record.

Jimmy?

- Jimmy, Jimmy.

- What?

- What was that? Okay.

- They're lying.

He's gonna halt the decision.

Detective, we need a minute, please.

What about you, Jimmy?

You need a minute? 'Cause if you do...

Get the f*** out of my face. How about that?

So, you wanna keep playing games?

Or are you ready to tell me something?

Detective, I need to speak with my client.

So now if you would just...

How you all just gonna lie like that?

How you all just gonna lie?

- We didn't lie. You lied.

- That wasn't my car.

Jimmy, don't say anything else.

Sure it wasn't.

And it was a telemarketer

that called you from the pay phone?

Who stopped at the Chevron

to make a late night sale'?

That picture was some bullshit.

Jimmy, stop. Detective, what's going on?

Well, tell him.

Go ahead, Jimmy. Tell him.

See how your boss will like this one.

Last chance.

Wait here.

Mr. Miller?

I would like to introduce you to Julie's mom.

Sandrine.

I'm so, so sorry.

I want to thank you for everything

you did for my daughter.
