Flawless Page #7

are you doing here?

We've been discussing

the situation.

What situation?

The impossible situation

that you got us all into.

What are you talking about?

In case you didn't know,

we own 75 percent

of the London Evening News.

I believe you spoke

with them earlier.

Yes.

Going to the press means

you don't have to come

up with a quick settlement.

The scandalous news, your time is

bought, that was the plan, wasn't it?

Mr. Ashtoncroft has, however,

agreed to dismiss all charges

pending an immediate

settlement of the claim

which I have

just authorized.

You have what?

King's Row

signifies one thing.

Reliability.

Now just...

our business

was built on it.

Our reputation

demands it.

You will never ever

get the money back!

It's for a ransom,

for Christ's sake!

Are you telling me you waited 15

years for the absolute right moment?

All this

to punish one man?

Patience, they say,

is a virtue.

He took from me...

the one thing in this world

that I truly loved.

Mr. Hobbs,

you have so much valor.

No.

Didn't we?

How did you solve it?

My clumsiness and

your background.

Come on, come on.

Here it is, sir.

Thank you.

This is the telex from the bank

confirming that the deposit

has been made corresponding

to the exact amount

as requested

by your client.

Everything looks

to be in order.

Ugh!

Look at the

inventory list

what does it say?

Would you call

security, please?

I don't understand.

Blank!

What the hell is

that supposed to mean?

I believe it means the

diamonds are not being returned.

Good day.

The South African Star,

so it wasn't a message?

Shh, shh.

More complicated.

Would you mind?

I'll, uh,

leave you to it.

Man:
My client will then convey where

you may take possession of the goods.

Excuse me, but there's a call

for Mr. Boyle from his office.

Yes?

Has there

been a delivery?

May I give you

some advice, Miss Quinn?

Well, you are the one

holding the gun.

Life is for living.

It's there for the taking.

Grant yourself no regrets.

Go on, put it down.

You don't have

it in you.

It was never loaded.

It doesn't matter now.

All done.

Man:
How many more?

Second man:
Steady.

Steady with that.

Mr. Hopkins.

Finch:

Miss Quinn.

Mr. Finch.

Congratulations.

The idea came

when you were dropping

your earring in the sink,

is it right?

Sorry I lost you

your finder's fee.

We didn't find prints

on Sir Milton's safe.

We found them on the opera

glasses in his office.

They weren't conclusive.

Mr. Finch.

Whatever it is you have

to say, Miss Quinn,

now is not

the right time to say it.

Maybe there will never

be a right time.

As strange as it may sound...

I can't bare the thought

of you spending

the rest of your life

behind bars.

Naturally you'll have to agree

to assist the investigation...

with your all-round

experience, you are...

perfectly situated to do so.

Good-bye, Miss Quinn.

It has been widely reported

that a large scale theft has

taken place on these premises.

As you can see,

that is not the case.

Quinn:
Ollie took

over the company

and became everything

his father had ever hoped.

I was more fortunate.

We look forward

to a long...

and prosperous...

and...

confidential

relationship.

Quinn:
After an extensive

investigation,

it was determined that Mr.

Hobbs had somehow acted alone.

They never found him.

A month later I was

passed over again

and tendered my resignation

the following day.

Cassie Jane:
Well, forgive me

for being sensational,

but I really need to know.

What happened

with the money?

Mr. Hobbs?

Well, Mr. Hobbs, though

we never spoke again,

but I did receive

a letter from a bank

in Switzerland

informing me a deposit

had been made to a numbered

account on my behalf.

The sum of

Everything.

And that's where

my real story begins.

Your article it's called

"Women Who Led."

That's right, isn't it?

I hope you're inspired.

I hope you can

inspire others.

You can contact me.

My details are

on the back.

Quinn:
"I never intended

this to happen,

"but the burden of Hobbs' money

sent me in a different direction.

"I discovered the world

"and through it,

I discovered myself.

"You'd be surprised how long it

takes to give away 100 million pounds.

"It's taken me 40 years.

"And just today...

"today I gave away

the last penny.

"I'm free at last.

"Except...

"except for that jewel

that you held in your hand,

"that I've been saving

for a rainy day.

"Or perhaps...

"or perhaps it's

the last little piece

"of vanity that

I have left."
