Largo Winch Page #5

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?

a general meeting at eleven o'clock...

The Winch Group is now a fortress under siege.

It will have to name a general or the enemy

Korsky will claim a crushing (victory)...

The general meeting

must accept the mysterious heir

or leave the door open to a takeover by Korsk Inc.

Are you looking for someone?

The trunk.

He can't be far.

Do you know a body international

warrant that's up on you?

I'm sure that a man like can

help me bypass the formalities.

You're going to have 25 minutes

to reach the meeting.

My driver will take you there. You'll be fine.

I have to be at the Grand Hyatt by 11 o'clock.

Not too tired from the flight, sir?

It's kind of you to pick me up.

The usual chauffeur took too many sleeping pills.

Sign. At the bottom, on the right.

A marriage contract?

An I.O. U.

The fare's pretty high.

It's my rate.

I think I forgot the child lock.

Marcus is here.

He'll pay to find you.

You won't do that.

Marcus? I have something for you.

I'm on the Ku Lan road.

You're really nothing but a...

Only guys like you can afford to despise money.

Pen?

There's a guy in the presidential suite.

Ferguson has planned everything.

When this young man called me yesterday,

I was sceptical.

But I have to admit that his story

seems perfectly credible.

Here's his orphanage file.

Largo's relationship with his adopted father

had become strained in recent years.

You know Largo is wanted for drug trafficking?

Yes, I was informed of that.

When he heard that Largo was on drugs and dealing,

Mr Winch decided to change his heir.

And he gave him these.

The shares in the Zunkunft Anstalt.

Sadness yes! But also joy!

The joy of continuing his work,

of respecting his memory.

Today, friends, partners, rivals,

we should take a moment to remember his life.

It all started on the 13th of august 1933,

in a little village in Bosnia-Herzegovnia.

Born into a modest family,

Nerio Winch's childhood was,

in his own words, difficult...

Are you crazy?

I want all the gates closed!

Yes sir. All the gates are closed, sir.

... Nerio Winch was one of those men,

who were born to change the world they live in.

... And a bottle of wine...

I don't know. The best...

Too late, Largo.

No, not yet.

Look at yourself.

And look at me.

Who's going to want you as the heir? Who?

This group,

this money,

they're mine.

As much as yours.

Deep down, you started it all.

You shouldn't have asked me

to go with you that night.

I looked for your file for hours.

I knew it mattered to you.

I didn't find it.

But I came across something

much more interesting for me.

When he first went there, Nerio Winczlav

left with two children.

Me...

And you, Largo.

He knew he'd come back for you one day,

so he took two children.

Hannah and Josip couldn't have kids.

He gave them the gift of a child. Me.

And to you... he gave a destiny!

I don't believe in luck.

I don't believe in coincidence.

I believe that each man

holds his destiny in his hands.

He would have told me.

He always wanted to make all the decisions.

Your life. Mine. Hannah's.

I should never have found out.

But unfortunately I did.

I wanted Nerio to know

he didn't control everything.

I went to see him.

I threatened to go public with it.

And he gave you money.

But he made a mistake.

He told Ferguson everything.

Ferguson found me

and she offered me

much, much more money than he did.

On one condition.

That I head the group

and be content with the dividends.

Put it inside!

You can understand why I accepted.

Did you accept Hannah's death too?

What are you talking about?

She'd dead, Goran.

They killed her.

Listen,

I'll grab his gun while you smash his head in.

What?

You heard me right! Do it!

Your father struggled too.

It's nothing.

Everything's fine. Just fine.

Today we are at a turning point in our history.

Our founder has passed away.

A group with an appalling reputation has

made a hostile take-over bid against us.

But we must stick together to fight it.

What do you want?

... Leaving a surprise in store for us

which will ensure the continued

success of our group...

My dear friends,

twenty-seven years ago, Nerio Winch...

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

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 things.

When Nerio told me he had cancer,

he also told me about his heir. I asked about him.

I'd never leave the group

in the hands of some wild adventurer like Largo.

It was madness on Nerio's part. A whim.

In 6 months, Largo would have destroyed

everything Nerio had built up.

This group that,

with all due modesty,

I consolidated with him.

I have the shares, as agreed.

Well done, Largo. You win.

But how will you use this?

Ladies and gentlemen, please!

allow me to introduce...

Nerio Winch's heir.

Mister Largo Winch!

...Cleared of all accusations of drug trafficking,

the new CEO's first decision was to reach

an agreement with Mikhail Korsky

to put an end to hostilities

between Korsk and the W Group.

The Group's spokesman has admitted that

Nerio Winch had been suffering

from a brain tumor for the past few months.

Even if the wildest rumors have been circulating,

his death does, indeed,

seem to have been an accident...

Ma'am, you can board now.

Do you have a stamp?

I can post it for you.

You should write your name on the back...

Hands up!

- What's your name? - Danis Vlatkovic.

Hello, Danis.

You're on my territory!

I'm leaving.

Will you let me go?

Thank you.

How about you? What's your name?

Largo Winch!

Take care, Largo Winch!
