- No, no, no...
Can he see you?
No.
Not yet.
(WHIMPERING) I don't know what to do.
OK, I need you to go into the bag
and take one of the pills.
Why?
EDDIE:
Because you'll know what to do.You'll take it and then you'll know.
He's got a knife. Eddie, I can't
think my way out of a knife.
Just listen to me.
It'll come on in 30 seconds.
And you'll think your way out.
That's what it does.
He's getting closer. (WHIMPERING)
Lindy, I love you.
(LAUGHING) Hey!
(BLADES SCRAPING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(WOMAN SCREAMS)
MAN:
Now turn to me...Hey, hey, hey, hey!
(MAN GRUNTS)
- Ah!
- Daddy!
Ah!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
LINDY:
Eddie. Here.It's gonna be OK.
We've got to get out of here. Eddie?
You OK?
Yeah.
I'm so sorry about what happened.
I want you to know that you never,
ever have to go through that again,
'cause I can take care of us now.
I'm sure you can.
I can make us safe.
I'm back, OK?
- Who's back, Eddie?
- Me.
No. It's not you.
- You were different before.
- I'm still the same person, Lin.
I wasn't, when I was on it.
I did things I would never do.
- Those things saved your life.
- But they weren't me.
Yes, they were.
No, the way it works...
I know how it works. I get it.
I totally get it.
You feel invincible.
Where it will take us, Lin,
you can't even imagine.
The things we'll be able to do.
Where we'll be a year from now.
The kind of life that
we'll finally be able to live.
Well, you might have
to live it without me.
Look, I am gonna stop taking it.
There's just some things I have to do
to keep us safe and that... To set us up
and then I'm gonna get off it.
- I mean, that's the plan.
- Eddie...
Look, I have a plan. I swear.
I'm gonna get off it.
OK.
I hope you do.
Looking for me?
You think you can run out on me, huh?
You think I don't know where you are?
I was under the impression
our business was settled.
I want some more of that stuff.
Take your pick.
EDDIE:
This guy was not going away.A few pills would buy me some time.
- There it is. We're done.
- Oh, yeah. We'll see.
EDDIE:
Until I found a more...permanent solution.
Unless you see a real threat, I never
want it known that I have any security.
Never more than 15 steps behind.
And never stand too close together.
I want to able to look behind me
if the opportunity presents itself.
And don't wear the same color suit.
This isn't The Matrix.
You have to know, Eddie,
I wrote you off.
- I was sick.
- You don't get sick.
You're playing at this level, you get
hit by a car, you don't even die.
- You're absolutely right.
- I know I'm right.
I mean, I didn't know who or what
I was talking to.
A hundred and five. That's who
you were talking to, Carl. Delirium.
Mm-hm.
I sent over my revised projections.
I didn't ask for your projections.
I know, but I think if
you take a look at them...
I already have.
As a matter of fact...
...I fired a few people
over your projections.
- I'm sorry.
- No, you're not.
You're relieved that you know things
my team missed.
The minute,
the instant that's no longer true...
EDDIE:
Two months after I'd started NZT,I was brokering the biggest merger
in corporate history.
Ironically, it's gonna be crude. Crude
is gonna be where we're gonna hit them.
Which yields a prospective profit
of 200 percent.
That makes both of us
very happy campers.
EDDIE:
I found that ifI maintained an even dose,
remembered to eat,
drank no alcohol,
- the blackouts didn't recur.
- How you doing, Eddie?
Tom, is it possible to construct
an imperceptible compartment?
In this jacket?
- In all of them.
- Certainly, sir.
EDDIE:
Safer though my stash now was, Iwas not sitting around until it ran out.
Can I combine these ingredients
in the same exact quantity, yes, but,
to the brain... Darts at a dartboard.
- Meaning?
- Clinical trials, guinea pig people.
- That's gonna take too long.
- It's what it is.
Or you'll kill people.
You need 12, to 18 months...
I'll give you two million dollars
if you can do it in six.
I found that we can cut costs
Excuse me one second.
I thought we straightened this out,
Detective.
Mr. Morra.
What is this about?
The witness identified the Maria Winberg
suspect as this person.
Wanna tell me your whereabouts
EDDIE:
I couldn't keepthis quiet on my own.
Enter Morris Brandt...
the most lethal lawyer in New York.
You're lucky somebody wiped the room.
It's weak. Circumstantial at best.
Just between us, were you there?
I don't remember.
I don't want to
make concessions to you...
EDDIE:
Carl Van Loon and Hank Atwoodhad no idea I might
soon be charged with murder.
But SyCorps, Andine
and others are jockeying
for the same industrial
concessions in Libya
that both our companies are
pretending we're not sniffing out.
How do you know this?
The governmental bribe system
is itself corrupt, so, of course,
information about its inner workings,
like anything, can be bought.
Go on.
If you take a look at the lower
left-hand column, in 2008,
five companies were jockeying for a
position before we even took notice.
EDDIE:
Jesus, he looks frail.- Could be an act.
- He's not even 60.
So, have you decided, Eddie?
What are you gonna do?
When this is over? I don't know.
You haven't given me the answer.
You haven't asked the question.
Well, given the scale
of my contribution,
let's say 45.
Done. Forty-five thousand dollars.
Forty million is plenty, Eddie.
There's a lot more where that came from.
You know, Eddie...
...it may be on your mind
that you're not gonna
continue to work for me anymore.
This has been
the learning experience of my life.
I hope it has. I hope you don't
think you've gotten enough from me.
On to the next.
Well, in order for a career to evolve,
I'm gonna have to move on.
That you would even think that
would only show me
how unprepared you are
to be on your own.
- I mean, you do know you're a freak.
- (LAUGHS)
Your deductive powers are a gift
from God, or chance,
or a stray shot of sperm,
or whatever, or whoever the hell wrote
your life script, a gift not earned.
You do not know what I know because
you have not earned those powers.
You're careless with those powers.
You flaunt them and you throw them
around like a brat with his trust fund.
You haven't had to climb up
You haven't been bored blind at the
fundraisers. You haven't done the time
in that first marriage
to the girl with the right father.
You think you can leap
over all in a single bound.
You haven't had to bribe
to a seat at that table. You don't
know how to assess your competition
because you haven't competed.
Don't make me your competition.
Now, I'll open up
a line of credit for you.
You'll be wanting a few toys.
