Money Monster Page #10

am I supposed to get this to him?

I don't know, Ron. You're a producer.

Produce your way up there!

I'm not getting anything on the terminal.

I'm gonna do a web search.

Okay, I'm getting...

"Mambo Pizza Place..."

"Mambo Italiano..." I'm not finding anything.

"Mambo Snakes."

"Mamba" snakes. That's not it.

Try "Mambo South Africa."

Try anything South African.

Got it. One sec.

Holy sh*t.

It's not a program. It's a goddamn person.

Remember Zuccotti Park!

Occupy Wall Street!

Hey, Lee! Lee!

Hey!

Lee!

Lee!

Do it, man!

Come on. Blow this mother up!

Lee! Lee, hey! Lee! Your earpiece!

- Sh*t.

- Ron!

Do not shoot!

Do not shoot!

Lee, can you hear me?

Camera mike's down.

He's not gonna be able to respond.

- Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Stay where you are!

Lee?

Lee, are you there?

If you can hear me, put your hand in the air.

Okay. I can see you, but I can't get to you.

What am I gonna do?

We either keep going or we stop.

It's up to you.

ESU, forward.

First window we get,

we're taking the assailant down.

Move them back.

- Stay down.

- Stay behind the car.

Diane, are you still there?

Yeah, I'm here.

Okay. We are on Mambo.

Our van can't get any closer.

So keep Walt there.

Do not let him run before Lee can get to you.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

All right. Get on it, Dave.

Print out everything you can

on this miners' strike.

- I'm gonna need that, too.

- Okay.

Lee?

You can hear me now.

Which is good.

I have a lot to explain,

and I need you to listen

very carefully for once.

We're approaching Federal Hall.

Jesus. Is that live?

Mmm-hmm. It is now.

Did you get all that?

And that's before we start digging.

- Ibis is a pig in a prom dress, Lee.

- Got it.

We are trying to find the proof right now.

See if you can get those hacker guys.

Find out what they've come up with.

Now, Lee,

we're making a pretty big leap here.

So if Walt's gonna hang himself,

you're gonna have to hand him that rope.

I'll just point the camera in your direction,

and we'll figure it out together.

Hey. Get ready for a show.

Well, these guys are certainly behaving

like they've got an appointment

with the Ibis Clear Capital CEO.

Which begs the question

on everyone's mind,

where is Walt Camby?

As a curious crowd

assembles outside Federal Hall,

the missing piece of the puzzle...

I trusted you.

Yeah, well, I trusted you, too.

So I guess that means we're both wrong.

What did you do, Diane?

I mean, you know me.

You know me better than my wife.

- You know me better than anybody.

- I'm not so sure that's true.

I have no idea what you think I did.

Save it for the cameras, Walt.

An eyewitness in the crowd

may just have the answer.

Walt Camby?

He's inside. He just went up those stairs

and through those doors.

- You saw him?

- That's right.

Guess there's nowhere to run now, huh?

This story does seem to be coming

to some sort of head down here.

- Hey there, big shot.

- Hey.

- Ready for that interview now?

- Hey.

Hey.

You're just in time for the show.

How was Geneva?

- It was fine.

- Yeah, I hear it's lovely this time of year.

Can we get him a chair?

Sam, give him a chair.

Whoa.

The Iceland guys just came through

with all the facial recognition data.

This footage goes back months.

Everywhere he's traveled.

There's way too much stuff.

Okay, well, just focus on the last 48 hours.

And cue up the video package.

Can we get everybody outta here?

Young lady, please, exit the building.

Wait a second,

why does she get to leave?

This might be able to help

with your investigation.

This is all her fault.

Go ahead, Diane, walk away.

You're the only reason we're

stuck here with this psycho.

You wanted transparency, Walt?

Well, here's your chance.

Let's go.

Everybody hates you.

Okay, now look, everything is fine.

So why don't we just put the weapons down,

and let's just talk about it.

No, I... I think we can talk

with the weapons up. Right, guys?

- This is Money Monster, coming to you live.

- Back off.

We're here with Ibis CEO Walt Camby.

So, Walt,

now that we have you here in person,

we can finally ask the $800 million question.

What happened at Ibis, Walt?

As we've been saying since day one,

this was an isolated computer glitch.

Goddamn it!

- Glitch!

- He doesn't really like that word.

I f***in' hate that word!

Oh, not the glitch.

- Cue up video one.

- I f***ing hate that word.

And then line the rest of 'em up on my mark.

You tried to convince us

it's all too complicated for us to understand.

But it's not that complicated at all, is it?

It's actually the oldest story

in the book. Fraud.

You took money out of your fund

and you invested it here.

Go.

Right here in platinum mines in South Africa.

Does that sound familiar?

I don't have our portfolio in front of me.

I can't exactly...

You really need your portfolio

to know where you put $800 million?

I don't put that much money anywhere.

The algorithms control our day-to-day...

But that's not how high-frequency trading

is supposed to work, is it?

They don't just put that much money

in one place

and just leave it there, do they?

It wasn't the algos pullin' the strings,

it was you.

The miners' union strike here

outside Johannesburg is on its second week.

You. You bought and paid

for a two-week strike.

Oh, come on. This is ridiculous.

Go.

The strike had caused

the mining company's stock to drop.

You buy low, you get the strike to stop,

you sell high.

That's the plan.

You make one big bribe to the right guy,

line your own pockets,

and no one'll be the wiser.

You're making accusations

that have no basis in reality.

Video three on my mark.

- All right, all right, all right. One...

- Get it together.

- Okay, it's there. Got it.

- It's defamation, okay?

And there are laws about that.

Go on, Walt.

Tell me about all the laws I'm breaking.

Ready when you are, Lee.

On your mark.

Look, I'll give you this.

There really was a glitch in your system.

It just wasn't the computer.

It was this guy. Moshe Mambo.

We must say no!

We must say no to their businesses!

We must say no to their bribes!

You tried to bribe the one guy

that couldn't be bought.

All they care about is money!

If it takes two years, if it takes 20 years,

we will stay here and strike

until our voices are heard.

Pause.

There. Right there. That's your glitch.

Because that's what sent

the mining company's stock plummeting,

which sent

your secret $800 million investment

right into the toilet.

Want me to keep goin'?

- Patty. You gotta see this.

- You made people a lot of money, Walt.

You just needed to wreck industries and

destroy economies all over the world to do it.

Okay. Get that ready right now. Lee?

You're gonna say everything I say.

This is insane.

I don't know the first thing

about some South African workers' strike.

I've never even heard of this Mambo.

- Really? Never?

- Really? Never?

Well, what were you two arguing about
