- l won't panic because some crank gets upset.

- Even when the crank knows where you park?

- To spend more time together -- - Brian!

-Your dad's just taking a few days off work, that's all.

Yeah, like 30.

- Keep the bonds and wait forthe bounce.

- Here a week and he thinks he can run a trading desk.

Look, l'm having a bad day.

- Don't worry about it. We'll figure something out.

- The newts will rob the nest before the eggs hatch.

Proof? What more do you need?

-You'll be trading places with Chris tomorrow.

Don't deserve hope.

Deserve disappointment.

Do l?

-We'd be putting Donald in an impossible position.

- lt's asking him to do his job.

- Don't you dare mess this up on me, Jack.

- No man should be forced to sell out his father.

- That's an impressive move, son.

Under other circumstances l'd be proud of you.

You can move yourthings out of the house this weekend.

-What nice man? - He was really nice to me.

He said tell Mommy

there's always more than one target.

-When did these threats against Ms. Marks begin?

About three weeks ago.

- Could we talk somewhere more private?

- Remember Millennia Construction, an outstanding investment.

What does that mean?

- Someone wants Ms. Marks to recommend Millennia in her next newsletter.

To drive the price up.

- Can a recommendation really do that?

Well, sometimes.

-Was he tallerthan Mommy? - l don't know.

-What kind of a car did he have?

Blue, l think.

lt had a radio.

Where are they?

Who are you?

- Ms. Marks's husband. She's in the entertainment suite.

Sally... -Yes, l'll take you.

-All right, come on, you people.

You must have something better to do.

- l'm here, sweetie. - Daddy!

-We'd ratheryou not touch her just yet, Mr. Marks.

We're still checking her for hair and fibres.

ls she okay?

She's fine.

Brian.

Where were you?

-We were playing and l went inside for one second.

Why didn't you call me?

- l never dreamed that... l looked for her.

She wasn't at the Browns's.

l phoned the police. They told me she was here.

lt couldn't have been 10 minutes.

- Ms. Marks? l'd like you to take a look at this.

Do you know this man?

That could be anyone.

-We've got a statement from your bodyguard.

l'll need one from you and Mr. Marks as well.

Can we use another office? -Yeah, you can use my office.

As soon as we're done here,

l'd like you to go home and stay there.

That's it?

You've got a fax, phone calls, videotape, witnesses.

We'll pursue all leads.

But his voice was disguised.

The fax came from a public phone.

And the fact we can't see his face,

it's not a coincidence.

- Besides the police and Brian, who knows?

-We have a 5-year-old, a bodyguard,

and two police officers running around the office.

- Fine, fine, so there'll be plenty of speculation.

l want to know who actually knows.

Just us and Monika.

-All right, that's where we hold the line.

You and l will focus on damage control.

We'll meet with the department heads,

l'll reassign my files.

Then l'll speak to the police

and make sure they're properly motivated

and understand the importance of keeping this under control.

- lf you really want this under control,

why don't you have Susannah mention Millennia

in her next newsletter?

Then the extortionist goes away.

-What? Until he asks for more? - lf your child was kidnapped,

you'd pay the ransom in a heartbeat.

Thanks. l'll be in touch.

Bye.

An analyst's reputation can never survive a published lie.

- l can't believe your only concern is business.

Susannah has to be able--

- l can't believe you think this is your decision.

My child. My reputation.

My decision.

And that decision would be?

l have decided to go home

with my husband and my daughter

and let the police do their job. And that is all l have decided.

For now.

Afew days off?

Susannah didn't take time off when her kid was born.

- Since you're only taking these meetings till Marty gets back,

don't get too comfortable.

Yes, sir.

- Now, Jack, before Cedric retired,

he was actually working on

a public offering for Grab Records.

Oh, lmpaler.

Excuse me?

lmpaler, their number-one act.

Their last single was disappointing--

How does the deal look?

-Actually, it looks like the CEO

is a nephew of one of Cedric's friends.

But it's a simple $10 million l.P.O.

We're only taking 10% .

- Then you should be able to handle it.

-Actually, l have pressing matters on my plate.

- Plans for world domination taking up yourtime?

- Oh, l got everything down but how to avoid the war in Asia.

lf you don't want the deal,

you tell the client you don't want it.

- l would appreciate you giving Adam a hand on this.

Any new business?

No.

- Great. lf you need me, l'll be in Research.

- Um, Sir, is, uh, Susannah going anywhere special

on hertime off, there?

You know, if l were you,

l'd be much too busy trying to impress the hell out of me

than to ask stupid questions.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, buying Trelco

at 30 and a quarter.

3/8? You just told me a quarter.

They sniffed your Trelco order.

We're chasing the market up.

- Keep buying till we meet our objective. No surrenders.

Sorry, Lenny.

l'm trying to reason with Sergeant Rock.

Come on, Lenny, do me a favour. Give it to me, baby.

Your absolute best price on Trelco.

Ohh!

- Did you hear anything about Susannah?

She's taking few days off.

- She didn't even take maternity leave.

Not funny, James.

- Obviously she has some family problems. Come on.

- 500 says he's leaving her. - Done!

- Do the words ''bad taste'' mean anything to you?

- Bad taste? - 2 to 1 she gets custody.

Start looking for a place yet?

l guess l'll have to.

l hate it.

-Well, they still haven't laid in the vocals.

Not the record, the deal.

Cunningham's been looking for some excuse

to dump this on me-- l hope he finds one.

-Well, in my considered opinion...

-What's your considered opinion, Donald?

- ln my opinion, it... it's fairly straightforward.

- Straightforward it is. Good it isn't.

- Nova Trust is managing the deal.

We've just got our 10% .

The syndicate underwrites the balance.

We don't decide if it's good or bad.

- No, no, but we do form opinions, don't we, Donald?

- Grab Records needs the money, uh...

- How much do they need? - They're getting 10 million.

- That doesn't only not answer my question,

it's not even right.

- 10 million on the l.P.O. plus a $30 million loan.

Why?

Because they need $40 million.

Desperate for.

So Nova Trust loans Grab Records 30 million bucks

at some ridiculous interest rate,

turning this little brave, edgy, successful record company

into a debt-ridden piece of garbage. l don't get it!

Adam says it's a done deal...

- ln my considered opinion, Donald,

there must be another option.

Ha-ha, 'morning, Mr. Jansky.

So all sweetness and light here in Derivatives?

- Chaotic energy is at a low ebb.

Oh, oh, l assume that's good.

Ha, ha, it's...no.

Why are we talking to each other?

Yeah, right. From now on, l'll talk, you listen.

l want you to use

your special talents here

to help the firm stop losing money on Grab Records.

- The scud. D'Arby told me--

Ah-ah-ah. Okay.
