The Accountant

1

Hey, hey, hey!

What the f***?

Wait! I gotta call it in!

Move it!

Hey!

Bobby, you hear me?

Right there, motherf***er!

Please.

Just f***ing stop, man!

Just put the gun down!

Come on.

Please.

I'm f***ing begging you.

I didn't touch him.

I didn't touch that old man!

I wasn't even...

Justine, please.

It's called "stimming," self-stimulation.

Whereas you and I might tap our fingers,

grind our teeth, bite our nails,

your son rocks back and forth.

It's more obvious, but perfectly natural.

We came here because

we heard you specialized in...

What is it? What does he have?

I'm not a fan of labels, ma'am.

Your son is a remarkable young man.

Who goes crazy

when you turn the vacuum on.

He wears one T-shirt,

won't let you hug him.

Loud noises, bright lights

can be especially difficult

for someone like your son.

The shirt, most likely fabric sensitivity.

Hugging, closeness, touching...

Justine, no shoes today.

That can be a challenge, yes.

When it's somebody else's child,

it's a challenge.

When it's yours, it's a problem.

My practice focuses on education.

I'd like to work with your son,

at his speed.

Help him develop the skills

he'll need to lead a full life.

Communicating, eye contact,

understanding non-verbal cues,

making friends.

The only friend he has

is his little brother.

I'm sure moving from base to base

hasn't helped.

My husband's in the Army,

which means we all are.

Would you be willing to let your son

stay with us for the summer

free of charge, working with me

in a sensory-friendly environment?

That's not gonna happen.

If loud noises and bright lights

bother him,

he needs more of it, not less.

The world is not a sensory-friendly place,

and that's where

he needs to learn to live.

Not in here.

Doctor, in your opinion,

can our son lead a normal life?

Define normal.

I need to finish! I need to finish!

Hmm. Mmm.

I, uh... I never thought of myself as

a quitter... Fourth-generation farmer.

But between the property taxes

and the fertilizer costs, and insurance...

Oh, to hell with it.

What if, just temporarily, mind you,

we put this year's taxes

on our credit card?

Do you like it?

I made it myself.

No, not particularly.

But do you ever sell them?

At church fairs now and again.

Mrs. Rice, you may have what the IRS

calls a "home-based business."

What room do you use in your house

when you make those?

I don't, really.

Just wherever I happen to be, I guess.

In front of the TV, at the kitchen table.

I like to spread my beads out

in the dining room, but Frank gets...

Yes, it would be better

if you could try to remember

the one specific space that you use.

Your home is 2,913 square feet.

IRS code allows us to deduct

from your taxable income

a percentage of your workspace

relative to your overall home.

- What...

- Mr. Rice...

How big is your dining room?

Mrs. Rice's office.

I wouldn't so much as call it an office...

Oh.

It's, uh, approximately 200, uh...

Well, make it 300 square feet.

Excellent. Mrs. Rice...

Dolores.

Dolores, when you order supplies,

do you order online?

I don't. I just zip on over

to the bead store.

Zip?

I drive the truck.

The company truck.

Come in.

Mr. King, you have wandered

so far outside your legal purview.

As president of Southern Gulf Bank,

I intend to protect

my customers' privacy...

Stop talking.

You have a very cavalier attitude

for the president of a bank,

with such a piss-poor capital cushion.

Now, I want a record of every transaction

Abayed has had for the past two years.

Deposits, withdrawals,

cashier's checks, credit cards.

Birmingham or Bahrain,

it is now Treasury business.

Goodbye.

Medina.

Am I saying that correctly?

Medina, yes, sir.

I've read all your case files,

Director King.

It's impressive work. Very.

Marybeth Ascension Medina.

Graduated University of Baltimore

cum laude

with a degree in criminal justice.

Two years Baltimore PD as an analyst,

two more at Homeland, analyst again,

and the last five years here at Treasury.

Analyst.

You did the heavy lifting

on Agent Lorenz's case last month.

I worked on it, yeah, but Agent Lorenz...

Why haven't you applied

for promotion to agent?

You're already doing the work.

Analyst is a good fit.

And I enjoy the work, so...

Well, you're a liar, Medina.

Ward of the state of Maryland's

foster care and juvenile detention systems

from age 11 to 18.

Weapons charges, assault and battery.

Ouch.

Attempted murder.

Those records were sealed.

Is that a nine millimeter?

.45.

You better sit your ass

back down in that chair, young lady.

This is a big moment for you.

Make a good choice.

Lying on a federal employment application

is a felony.

So right now, I'm the only thing standing

between you and significant prison time.

What do you want?

Do you like puzzles, Marybeth Medina?

I meant what I said, son.

You're welcome out to the place anytime.

Do you fish? I got a two-acre pond

that is just thick with catfish and bass...

I don't fish. I shoot.

Well, the farm's a perfect place

to do a little plinkin', so...

Well...

Thank you.

You take care, son.

Thank you.

My daughter's meeting me for lunch.

I think you two just might hit it off.

Nice to see you.

Already enhanced.

Was taken three years ago in Antwerp

by an undercover Interpol agent.

Their target's on the far right.

Yeah, Zalmay Atta.

Go on.

Ran the world's largest opium pipeline.

Ties to Karzai and Ghani, Taliban.

I mean, he was considered untouchable.

Look at the rest. Tell me what you see.

Yeah, I remember most of these arrests.

They were huge.

Focus. They're not all arrests.

It's the same man.

"Lou Carroll."

For what it's worth, it's an alias.

The Hong Kong photo

goes back about five years.

In that one, he's "Carl Gauss."

Tokyo, Tel Aviv, Naples.

There was a sighting in Tehran.

All describing the same man.

"An accountant."

"Our accountant." "The accountant."

The accountant, like CPA accountant?

Okay.

Say you're the head of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Now, the cartels count their money

by weighing it in 18-wheelers.

But one sunny Mexican day,

your in-house money scrubber comes to you

and says you're 30 million light.

Who can you trust to do

the forensic accounting,

track your stolen cash?

Deloitte and Touche? H&R Block?

You somehow

contact an individual

capable of coming in cold,

un-cooking years of books,

and getting out alive.

I retire in seven months.

Before I do, I need to know

who he is, how he does it.
