Largo Winch Page #4

Synopsis: Billionaire Nerio Winch is found dead, drowned. An obviously suspicious death as Nerio is the founder and majority shareholder of the powerful and sprawling W Group. Who will inherit this financial empire? Officially, Nerio had no family. But he had a secret he kept well-hidden: a son, Largo, adopted nearly thirty years before from a Bosnian orphanage. The only problem is this young heir has just been thrown in prison deep in the Amazon. Accused of drug trafficking, he claims he's innocent. Nerio murdered. Largo in prison. What if these two events were part of a plot to take control of the Winch empire?

Even dead, he still decides.

Go to bed. Your room's ready for you.

Where's Largo?

You're going to have to be very cooperative.

Where's Largo?

"I've gone to Sarjevane. See you later."

The last monks left the island in 1908.

The perfect escape from the rat race.

We'll come here every year for a month.

I'll teach you your future business.

Thank you, Mister Winch.

You've done just what we expected of you.

Take the shares out of the safe

and slide them over to me.

No sudden moves.

- Who are you working for?

- For you, Mister Winch...

Drop the knife.

- I asked you a question.

- And I gave you an order.

I suppose these people work for me too...

Model employees.

I can see that.

I hope you get a risk bonus...

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot him!

Now we can shoot him!

You should have heeded your instinct.

You knew someone was pulling the strings.

Someone who wanted you to fetch the shares

since you alone knew where they were hidden.

And now...

What do you plan to do?

Largo!

Hannah?

Hannah...

Hannah...

Hannah...

What do you mean, vanished?

He was supposed to be here last night.

I can't reach him... No one knows where he is.

- Is this some kind of a joke? - I knew it.

We have to cancel the general meeting!

We'll prepare a press release...

We have to find an excuse...

To panic the shareholders...

And pave the way for Korsky, certainly not!

You're out of your depth. I won't let you

lead this group to its ruin.

I am acting in the sole interest of the group!

Unlike you, for I have no personal ambition.

You don't have the stature for it.

And you're losing your cool.

Largo Winch is our only chance of survival.

The general meeting is maintained.

And you'll better not stop praying

that Nerio's heir appears.

I don't think that's the best thing

that could happen to us.

Your Largo Winczlav escaped from

a prison in South America

where he was being held for drug trafficking.

An international warrant for his arrest

was issued out this morning...

Good news. We'll end up finding him now.

You still think that this heir

is the best way to save the Group?

The general meeting will go ahead

as planned, tomorrow.

We have 24 hours to come up with a solution...

Hi, Largo.

Don't worry, I didn't recognize you either.

You see, I didn't set off to see the world.

I took over as doctor from my father.

Melina...

But I haven't ruled it out.

Turn over.

My cousin found you by the roadside.

It's a miracle you're alive

with a wound like this.

I'm invincible.

There.

What happened?

I don't remember a thing.

I'm sorry.

He's going to call, I can tell.

No, Mister Kwan.

I have no idea where he can be.

Largo...

Thank you, Lord! Thank you!

Where are you?

In heaven.

You have to get me back, Freddy.

Aren't you too old to be brought home?

Do I come with you?

Let me handle it, Gauthier.

Odd place for a meeting.

I'd rather avoid the group's HQ.

I don't want to end up like Meyer.

Largo is alive. You missed him.

But I can tell you where he is.

I don't understand...

Don't give me that! Largo told me everything.

What is it you want?

Nerio Winch is dead. His son is on the run.

My career prospects aren't looking good.

So my contact with Largo is the last card

I have left. The very last.

And I plan to use it.

You're full of sh*t.

Largo is dead. I know, I'm the one who killed him.

I know.

One bullet. Fired from a helicopter.

He fell into the sea. You thought he was dead.

Now who on earth could have told me all that?

Wait!

I'm not talking to you again.

I deal with your boss from now on.

You're expected. No funny business.

Come in, Mr Kaplan.

Just fine-tuning tomorrow's speech.

The surroundings help, don't you find?

I'm no expert on long speeches.

Don't judge me.

Appearances can be misleading.

I did it all for the group. Only for the group.

And if Marcus is to be believed,

you're in no position to preach at me.

Was killing Nerio in the group's interests?

He was sick and dying. You know that.

But you had him killed.

I had to keep control of timing.

I'd never leave the group in the hands

of some wild adventurer like Largo.

You use strange methods...

The only person who can take over

from Nerio Winch is me.

Maybe.

But you need to convince the meeting.

I have one last card to play

that will win me the game.

So, Mr Kaplan,

where is our friend Largo?

He'll call me to say where to pick him up.

How much?

Much more than what your spy

in Korsky's firm cost you.

- A figure. - Not a cent.

Mail me the plans for your attack on Korsk Inc.

In two weeks, if I carefully invest my savings,

you'll make me a rich man. A very rich man.

Insider trading...

Nerio must have rubbed off on you too.

This is what we'll do.

Stay at the hotel with Marcus.

In a few minutes, you'll receive

the plan for the Korsk takeover bid.

Then you'll just need to wait for Largo's call.

In a few hours, it will all be over.

Good night, Mr Kaplan.

Don't miss him this time.

Sure your friend will come?

Look.

I'll be back.

What for?

To see you.

Don't talk rubbish.

Go on. Off you go.

This is the a**hole of the world, here!

It's my home.

I don't believe a word of

what you told me on the phone.

But you came anyway.

I can't help it, I'm a gambler.

But I'm warning you, I hate to lose.

Straight from Ferguson's office...

Any minute now, your group will be

taken over by the W Group.

Who gave them these informations?

Naomi.

Naomi...

She works for Ferguson.

Icham!

Slit this bastard's throat!

That's why she vanished.

Ferguson organized everything.

She's the one who had Nerio killed...

She's the one who manipulated Meyer to pass

on information to you about the Group.

And she's the one who had him killed

when he panicked.

- That's absurd! - No it's not, it's smart!

You had to be persuaded to attack us!

There had to be a threat to force me

to get my shares.

You are the bad guy in the story!

But Ferguson wrote that story!

Let's have a drink!

Let's see if you're a real gambler now...

Withdraw your takeover bid.

Without that threat,

Ferguson won't be able to convince

the general meeting to give her full powers.

And I'll take care of the rest.

Over my dead body.

You're going to lose everything.

Yeah. Will that be all?

Take me to Hong Kong.

The general meeting starts tomorrow at 11 h.

I've got to be there.

You and I are the same.

Two dirty foreigners.

People like Ferguson despise us.

Cheers!

In dollars... That's what you wanted?

I prefer security...

If you don't mind, I'll count it.

It's a pleasure to work

with a professional like you.

Don't get carried away, Marcus.

You couldn't afford me.

Good to hear you, Largo.

I checked your mail. It was there.

My new pals loved it.

I'm coming back with them.

Good.

Where do I pick you up?

Ok. See you later.

He's waiting for me.

I've had a wire on Korsky's phone

for months now...

And Largo just called you from that very phone.

The board of directors will hold
