But I didn't know what it was.

But I sensed that

the Mitzuko deal was crooked,

dangerous for Phenix,

and fatal for me.

You OK?

Yes.

- You OK?

- Fine.

Hello, Mum.

Hi, Dad.

That's for you.

Kids!

Come.

Toys. We financed a company in Korea.

Here.

- Gonna show me how it works?

- Sure.

Want this one? That one?

Which do I get?

I had it first.

Let's have Iunch.

We've waited enough.

How are things?

- OK?

- OK.

And you?

Very well.

Lovely, Nina. Bring that here.

Thanks, darling.

I'll give you another.

You won't leave empty-handed.

Well, Marc.

If one's rich.

what should one invest in?

In the pleasure of your family,

Pierre.

spend it all.

And avoid banks.

They invest your money till...

it's all gone.

Luckily we have none to invest.

May I ask an indiscreet question?

I'm here for that.

Go on! Shoot!

When you earn 1.5 million a year...

what do you do with it?

- Cool it, Sylvie.

- Pierre, that's OK.

It's a good question.

I spend nights asking myseIf.

Luckily,

Diane helps me.

I do what I can.

You do it well.

What reassures me

is that soccer players

who earn 4 to 5 times more

manage to spend it all.

Reassuring, no?

No?

And you, Jeanne,

having a CEO son,

what does it mean to you?

That I see him less and less.

No.

I'm here.

And Diane, to be a CEO's wife?

Also to see him less and less.

To go to boring dinners...

where they only talk about money.

So, Uncle, this wine?

Marc.

Your bank makes money

and you lay people off.

How do you cope?

Bruno, not today, please.

He's the champion bungler

of family meals.

Very badly, Uncle.

Very badly.

That doesn't answer my question.

The bank was going under.

It had to be saved.

We had to fire people

to save 100,000 jobs worldwide.

Don't give me that.

I've heard it too often.

You bleed people 3 times.

1 :
The market wants blood.

you relocate, workers lose their jobs.

2 :
You bleed them as customers.

3 :
Via Europe's debts.

you zap countries

and their citizens get bled.

Worker. customer, citizen

are the same guy,

so you screw him 3 times.

Money turns everything rotten.

I expected better from you.

Thanks, Uncle!

But you should be glad.

Why?

Because we relocate.

create unemployment,

raise prices to enrich stockholders

and break the social system

to pay off the debt?

Because you're successful?

Because I'm fulfilling

your childhood dreams.

My childhood dreams?

You lefties wanted internationalism.

We've got it.

Money knows no borders, nor does work.

Here, look. See this toy?

I got it in London, it's German,

made in Indonesia.

By children.

Maybe.

But the world you dreamt of

couldn't have fed those children.

Our internationalism will manage.

I'm also working for that.

New York.

Money never sleeps.

One must watch it like milk on a stove.

Or it boils over

and you have to fire people.

You know what your uncle's like.

Uncle has a point, Dad.

How'll you handle the Americans?

They only think money.

They're like us, they're businessmen.

Like the banker who said :

"I do God's work."

Just words.

I'll be off.

Excuse me to everyone.

Tell Diane I'll send the car back.

By the way, next time I come

it'll be to see only Mom and you.

sir. You put me in charge

of Maud Baron's report on Japan.

Yes. Come in.

Maud Baron sent you her book.

Mr. Tino Notti called.

Mrs. Nassim lost her credit cards.

So what?

Please pay her hotel tab.

She'll pay you back.

I knew she took me for a jerk.

and I should kiss her off.

At the same time I said...

Wire the money.

It's 27,000 Euros.

Do it.

So, Mr. Rcamier, how's the report?

Very good. Excellent, sir.

Meaning?

It's an analysis...

Marmande is dead.

I found him there.

security never saw him come in

this morning, or leave last night.

Mr. Craillon.

Gather his personal papers

and bring them to me.

Those in the safe, too.

Very well, sir.

Marilyne, tell Malburry he's off

to Tokyo. I'll see him at 4 p.m.

Very well.

I want to tell you

of Jack's double suffering,

that of his illness of course,

but also his inability to fully practice

a job he loved passionately.

To be with his staff,

who were like his children to him.

The family spirit...

that he created...

vanished with the changes...

De Suze and his group

still want to grab Phenix?

...and turned Phenix

into a great European bank.

Being kept at a distance

was as painful to him

as his disease.

If you need anything, I'm here.

Elena.

You're going to replace Claude.

She's taking a sabbatical.

- But, sir...

- If you're not interested...

- Of course I am.

- Very well.

Sorry.

Thanks.

Well, sir,

this is what must remain confidential.

A few personal things.

And then...

this.

Shredder.

So, Marmande had 4 accounts.

His will is clear about 3 of them.

The 4th, an account in the Bahamas.

contains 30 million.

Does it belong to the bank?

No way. There are 5 withdrawals.

Where did that money go?

To another numbered account.

We'll never know to whom.

Mr. Tino Notti.

- Check with Claude Marmande.

- Shredder.

Not that, Mr. Craillon.

- Yes. Mr. Notti.

- Hello, sir.

I have a message for you.

Hi, Marc.

Thanks a lot.

I wanted to thank you personally.

Body and soul.

Big hug. See you soon.

She wanted to thank you herseIf.

Where is she?

In Tokyo, doing a shoot all week.

I'll be there in 2 days. Tell her.

Sir, we'll be there in 45 minutes.

Mr. Notti called twice.

Nassim's leaving Tokyo.

- You should've woken me.

- You said not to.

Nassim can't see you in Tokyo.

I land in 1 hour.

She must return to New York.

She has serious problems.

Maybe I can help?

Ask her.

She's leaving soon for New York.

she'll be in the "La Premire"

Air France lounge.

Have a coffee with her...

A coffee with her...

Evening. I'm meeting someone.

- Who are those undertakers?

- Our best men at Phenix-Tokyo.

We'll meet now.

I'll fly off right after. Gentlemen...

- What's it now?

- It's urgent.

Nassim is disappointed with Tokyo.

Come.

Stay there.

You intimidate her.

- she doesn't dare talk to you.

- Go on.

You offered to help her.

She has lots of money, but it's tied up.

How much?

A million.

She'll pay you back in a month.

That's a lot of money.

- Do I give it to you?

- Not to me.

Her bank details.

Evening.

- When will I see her?

- She'll be in New York for a while.

- Maud Baron.

- Marilyne. Delighted.

I've read your book.

It's remarkable, original.

Thanks.

Make sure the Saudis don't wait.

I stopped by.

As you asked.

I checked out the Mitzuko bank,

and the reasons for buying it.

I wanted to hand it to you myseIf

and comment on it.

Dittmar insists on

speaking to you.

Put him on.

- Am I in the way?

- Not at all.

Dittmar overdoes things.

He's the big shareholders' man.

You wanted to talk about Mitzuko.

Mitzuko has a credit crunch.

The reasons to buy it...

Sir, they're here.

Let's have dinner.

Marilyne, set it up.

You hungry?

I'm not.

Come. We can't talk in there.
