Largo Winch Page #2

Before you father's cremation.

I took the liberty of conducting a second,

more detailed post mortem.

Being that you are the only member of his family,

I'll give you the sole copy of the report.

It's up to you,

if you choose to make it public or not.

I had the honour of knowing your father,

he was an exceptional man and... a generous donor.

You expect people to pity you?

Not when you inherit 20 billion!

Don't you get it?

I don't want the inheritance.

Get this straight, Largo.

The destiny that awaits you

takes precedence.

I don't want to become like you.

You scare people. They hate you.

That's why you're alone.

Loneliness is the price of power.

And I'm not entirely alone.

I have you:
you're my son.

I can pass things on. That matters.

Money. Always money...

That's not what I meant.

You see this knife?

It's worth just a few dollars...

Yet it's my most precious belonging.

My father drank like a fish.

He used to beat my mother and me.

Nearly every evening.

When I was 13,

I worked in secret for the village grocer.

After a few months,

I could buy the thing I dreamed of.

When he tried again,

I threatened to kill him

if he didn't let us leave.

For the first time, he was scared of me.

He could see I was serious,

that I'd do as I said.

There's what life gives you...

...and what you do with it!

Those are the two forces

that make you what you are.

Here.

It's yours.

Hello, sir.

Forgive this informal awakening.

You were deaf to my verbal endeavours.

And you are?

Gauthier, sir. Your late father's butler.

Please accept my condolences, sir.

Mr Freddy dropped you off.

You seemed very tired indeed.

The journey, no doubt.

The alcohol, Gauthier.

The alcohol.

I took the liberty to clean your clothes.

Yet I'm afraid your undershirt

is beyond redemption.

I should have warned you.

There's a slight swell today.

When he moved to Hong Kong,

your father settled on this yacht.

I think he liked the view.

I'm not surprised.

Already an invitation for you, sir.

Mr Korsky requests your presence

for lunch at "Amber".

Korsky?

Mikhail Korsky, 42, from Georgia,

head of the Korsk Corporation.

Rich from gunrunning.

However, for some years now,

he has moved into more worthy fields.

Real estate, banking...

No one knows his exact worth

but everyone agrees it's colossal.

Three years ago,

someone attempted to poison Mr Korsky...

Gauthier...

...and left him marked for life.

Are you always so precise?

I trained at the

Regent Street Gentlemen's School, sir.

No one knows his face or his name, but there

have been rumors of a mysterious heir.

The heir is...

the famous billionaire's adopted son...

No... No, no, no, no, no... I swear!

No! I didn't know!

Look... Look... I'll call him...

I'll find out and I'll call you back...

Yes... I know... I know...

Look, I promise you I... Hello?

Damn!

- Good morning, Mr Meyer. - Good morning,

Have you heard about this heir business?

Don't pay too much attention

to these rumours Rebecca...

But he's here! He's with the board now!

As executor, I can tell you that

Mr Winch's desire was always very clear.

The one and only heir to his fortune

has to be his adopted son.

But there's no rhyme or reason to it!

I mean here's a boy

from Lord knows where

and who claims to be the heir of the world's

fifth largest fortune...

It's outrageous.

Mr Wallenberg, have you previously met

or even glimpsed this young man?

Nerio's always liked to keep his secrets secret...

Have you, yes or no, met this man before today?

No.

So, in short, nobody knows you.

Where is the proof?

You must think we're stupid, young man.

You don't know whom you're dealing with here!

With good lawyers,

we could drag this out for years!

And that is exactly what we're going to do!

Mister Kwan, is that right?

That's right, yes.

William Kwan. Nerio admired

your university career. Princeton,

Harvard. Your mother must be very proud

of you after raising you on her own.

Do you still check the knot of

your tie everytime you feel awkward?

Nerio told me about you.

Nerio told me about everyone of you.

So believe me,

I know exactly whom I'm dealing with.

Nerio anticipated your reactions.

Shortly after I was adopted, he transferred all...

his majority holdings to the Anstalt,

based in Liechtenstein.

Now Mr Wallenberg,

could you explain to our friends here

the specific workings of that company?

The shares are "bearer" shares...

In other words, the person who physically has

those shares is the owner of the company...

In this way, the company can be passed on

without paying any inheritance tax

and to become the new owner,

the heir has only to recover the shares...

Ten shares, to be precise!

Ten shares hidden in a location that

I am the only one to know about.

And that's all the proof that I need!

Now, of course

if you still feel like contacting

your lawyers, please go ahead.

I just spoke to Miss Pennywinkle...

There is no way you'll be able

to have an appointment...

with the heir before next week...

Next week?

Surely you don't intend to... run the Group?

I have only one attention.

Find out who killed Nerio Winch.

Until someone proves otherwise,

his death was accidental.

You believe so?

I believe someone has decided to take over

the group by any means possible.

Where do you think you are?

- Mister Winch? - Meyer?

I am sorry but I really must talk to you.

My god! He got shot!

Please forgive me, Mister Winch.

Stephan Marcus... Head of security for the group.

Mister Marcus!

Do you mind explaining what is going on?

Sorry Miss Pennywinkle...

The famous Miss Pennywinkle...

Pleased to meet you, Mister Winch.

Alexandre Meyer...

He works in the finance department.

Worked.

He left me a message this morning.

Extremely tense.

He wanted to know

if the story about the heir was true...

What are you doing?

I don't think the police would like this,

Mr Winch...

Mr Meyer?

I have Mr Korsky for you.

- Korsky - Korsky?

What does Meyer have to do with that crook?

- Korsky's invited me to lunch today.

- Absolutly out of the question!

I have an appointment with Mister Korsky...

Please follow me, sir.

Icham

Let him go

Forgive him...

Icham always likes to do his job properly.

Such a rare quality these days...

That's right.

I'm going down to the spa...

Naomi,

divine, isn't she?

Surprising.

I'm going to buy out the W Group.

You think so?

IMX:

Does that sound familiar?

- I've heard of it.

- Of course you've heard of it!

It's an investment fund that,

as we speak, owns...

Six percent of the W Group...

And do you know who this fund belongs to?

To you.

For the last few weeks, I've been buying out

all the available shares of the W Group.

And I know exactly who to buy them from.

Thanks to a certain Meyer...

I'm the story's bad guy.

You're perfect.

Nerio's death has upset the market.

So today, I'm shifting into higher gear...

In exactly twenty minutes,
