Across the Line: The Exodus of Charlie Wright

This is the story of failure...

of my failure...

and how all that is good is not me.

They're going to take you into custody.

Given the allegations against you, bail is highly unlikely.

Excuse me.

They say that in the end, life all comes down

and when we draw our last breath,

only a few things will have really mattered...

I can make these numbers work, but it...

I'm not gonna be thrown to the dogs.

Where the hell are you going?

I'm not taking the fall, Charlie!

...and all that is not...

fades to nothing.

You have it?

Maybe.

You don't have it.

Maybe...

Maybe not.

Lunchtime, huh?

Uh, there's a nice little panini place there.

Get yourself something.

Don't take too long.

He's on the move. Play him tight.

Good.

Benny.

How long have you been driving for me, Benny?

Uh, it's been, uh, three years this July, sir.

You're a good man, Benny.

I've never told you that before, have I?

No, sir.

Mm.

Well, I'm telling you now.

Thank you, sir.

Are we a go, boss?

Almost. It's coming through.

We can take him now. It's on its way.

That's a negative. I gotta have the warrant in my hand, Jimmy.

You hear that? It's a negative.

Stand by, boss.

What's going on, Jimmy?

What the hell is he doing?

Jimmy, what the fuck's going on?

It's all good. The driver just checked the tire.

All right. He's moving.

Take him inside or out?

Warrant in hand. Repeat, warrant in hand. Everybody,

take him as he comes out of the underground and keep it clean.

F.B.I.! F.B.I.! Show us your hands!

Show us your hands! Show us your hands!

Freeze! Put your hands up.

Car's not clear, sir.

Sir, the car isn't-

The car is not clear, sir.

Oh, God! Aah!

Jimmy.

He's gone, sir.

There's not much here.

Looks like he didn't take his work home with him.

It would be something like this.

Sir?

The ocean view.

Barbados, Caymans...

South Africa, maybe.

Once you had all this, man, that's it.

It's cleansing.

He won't be able to live without it.

Look, we, uh...

we got subpoenas ready.

Credit cards, medical records?

Credit cards we have. Still working on medical.

And not a damn thing personal.

Huh.

What a life.

Charlie Wright is charged in a

$10 billion ponzi fraud scheme. Six weeks ago,

I'm sorry, Agent Hobbs, could

you speak up? I'm not... hearing you clearly.

What part, sir?

The part about a 51 -year-old banker who gets away from seven

trained federal agents in a fucking parking garage.

That's what part.

All right.

How much have you recovered?

F our billion from various accounts in the Caymans.

Mr. Thompson from the Attorney General's office

has a question for you.

Has the name Joseph Letvenko shown up on your radar?

Not from my memory.

Are you familiar with the name?

I've heard it.

He was the underboss of the Russian mafia through

the '80s and '90s. He's been off the map for years now.

He and his longtime body guard run a little Russian diner

downtown. We think he's got money with Wright,

off the books money, upwards of 100 million.

100 million.

If Letvenko has money with Wright, he's not going to wait

until we pick him up, if you know what I mean.

So where the hell is he, Andy?

He's got several vacation homes in the Caribbean.

He's got a place off the coast of Spain.

We believe that we are getting close to...

Whoa. Close?

Yes, sir, we think we're getting close.

Now, that's not the answer I'm looking for here,

so let me give you a hand.

You are gonna tell me exactly where Charlie Wright is,

and you simply need the resources to pick him up.

It is more complex than that.

Best and worst case scenario.

Best case, he's here in the United States in one of the

vacation homes. He shows up, we get him.

Worst.

We estimate he's got between $1 to 2 billion left.

He could conceivable take that money...

and stay above the treaties.

English, Andrew, English.

In this economy, he could buy his way out of extradition out

of any number of countries.

He could live a life of luxury, and if he's made that choice,

we can't touch him.

Oh, no.

No.

You're gonna touch him. You're gonna find that money,

and you're gonna bring Charlie Wright to me.

But most important, you're not gonna make me look stupid.

Do you understand?

Listen, I'll stay.

No, man, you go on your vacation.

I got this.

That's him.

Jorge.

Um, excuse me.

Wait for me outside.

What's up?

My sister's here, and she's worried sick.

Marco didn't come home last night.

She's been trying and trying, but he doesn't answer.

You have to go find him.

Just-- just stay with her.

Okay.

Are you okay, my love?

Yeah. Just stay with her.

Okay.

Come in.

We've got them.

What?

The numbers.

If it's not enough...

Did you count everything?

Yes.

Are we close?

Gabby, you remember what Papa used to say...

especially after he had a few drinks.

He used to say, Jorito...

you're not a natural-born leader, Jorito.

You are going to destroy everything I built.

Like that, with that crooked finger, like this.

Jorito, you're gonna destroy this family...

if you're not careful.

You remember that?

No, I... I don't remember that.

Hmm. You were too young.

Plus, he would never point the finger at you...

because you're a natural-born leader.

And you look like him.

You got his looks, I got his crooked finger.

We're next, Gabby.

You be careful.

We'll figure it out.

You're missing five pesos.

Impossible. l-l counted.

Con permiso.

Jaime.

Hi.

Como esta.

Good, good.

Good.

So, still no more beer?

No, no, no. Water's good.

How about a girl?

Please. I'm too old for that.

You know what I'm looking for.

About the lady in question, any luck?

She's in the bathroom.

She's here?

Fantastic.

I'll go get her for you right now.

Okay.

Mary.

This is Mary.

Encantata.

Nice to meet you. Sit down.

Would you like a drink?

Sure.

Um, tequila, por favor.

So, Jaime tells me that you used to work here.

Oh, uh, a-a while ago.
