- He says he won't see you. - He won't see me? Why not?

- Hello. - Hello.

What are you doing?

I’m watching you sleep.

Is that something that you do a lot?

From time to time.

I didn’t know that.

Well that’s because...

... you’re asleep.

Not anymore!

You made me breakfast.

Well, Patrice made you breakfast.

But I carried it up the stairs... and I have to tell you it

- was extraordinarily heavy! - My hero!

Unfortunately I can’t join you. I've got...

- ... got to go to work. - What! No, why?

I have to go to work and you have to go to New York.

Hey!

Thanks for making me breakfast.

What is money?

What is money?

Why do we covet it so? Money, money, money, money, money.

_

What is money? Come on!

_

Sold! At three million dollars.

Oh, it's been too long! What is a nice surprise.

Are you well... Great.

You want the Malevich?

Well that depends on the price, don’t you think?

Couldn't you just buy him...

... a vineyard instead?

Or a small Pacific island?

There is nothing as rigorous as money...

... nothing as fluid,...

... nothing as tensile.

Money desires nothing so much as to be itself.

Where is money most itself?

So where you gonna hang it?

It needs special place.

It's very beautiful thing.

Argus and Io. Do you know the story?

Some God fucked a maiden. Greek kind of thing.

Jupiter fucked Io.

His wife found out.

Everyone fucked everyone then.

Money is most itself in the last...

... unregulated,...

... great, bazaar,...

... the art market. Where money can do...

... what God intended.

Accumulate.

Various images from Alice's looking glass,...

... a thing costs what some putative,...

... free spending Mad Hatter...

... says it costs.

A very exciting bid ladies and gentlemen.

Next we have Lot 12A...

- Will he be bidding? - Oh no, I doubt it.

Robert Carver is what we call...

... a voyeur.

You do know the nicest people.

From the collection of John Brandeis...

We trade...

Picasso, Rembrandt,...

... Degas, Duchamp.

We bundle them the way sub primes are bundled,...

... we sell a Warhol short one day,...

... we hedge an Old Master the next.

We get in there before regulation...

... tames the last Wild West.

So...

... were you convinced?

- Him I don't know... - Rykov.

He's a dealer. Heavy machinery.

Syria, Iraq, Congo. Places like that.

All the places they need heavy machinery.

And you know all the others.

Excuse me.

- Hi. - Georgina!

- It's up next. - The Malevich?

- What's my limit again? - Did I hear you say Malevich?

It's my wife.

It’s really stunning, I’m telling you this is like the missing link.

Every Russian wants a Malevich.

Every oligarch. Just be one second.

- Where are you? - I’m at friend's house in Nice.

Which friends in Nice? Do I know them?

- Are you still there? - Will it take my breath away?

Absolutely.

Wrong. Only you can do that.

Why does every redundant stock trader...

... been prowling the galleries?

Because they know there is value there.

Ungoverned,...

... unregulated,...

... value.

_

Ladies and gentlemen I shall commence...

... the bidding at fifteen million dollars.

Fifteen million we have.

- We have sixteen million... - I've bid sixteen.

When are you coming back?

It's up to twenty.

Why don’t you come back tonight?

- You know how badly I sleep alone. - Are you even listening to

a word I'm saying? What is my limit?

It’s gonna go to twenty three.

Hello?

All this drama, it's bad for my blood pressure.

Twenty-five now, ladies and gentlemen. On the floor,

- it gets you on the phone sir. - It's like a feeding frenzy.

Can we go to thirty?

Can we go to thirty?

Tino, sweetheart.

I can’t hear you.

My love, you know I trust you implicitly.

- Can I go to thirty? - Thirty.

On the floor, thirty. Thirty million dollars,...

... ladies and gentlemen.

Hello? Hello?

Fair warning... at thirty million dollars...

Sold! At thirty million dollars!

Congratulations.

- Horrible. - You used to love these.

I didn't know any better.

- You look great. - So do you.

It's been too long.

It has.

- One more? - Oh no, I, I have to fly back tonight.

But won’t the private jet wait for Madame?

You still live in Villefranche, I could give you a lift.

A lift? Wow! No thank you, thank you, but...

... I still have business to attend to here.

Yeah, it’s probably better, I would’ve put you in coach.

Thanks! Come on, come on, one more.

You’re not flying the plane.

- Alright, twist my arm. - Great.

- Excuse me? Sorry. - Yes, sir?

- Two more of these, please. Thanks. - Sure.

Hi, you've reached Constantine Clios. I'm unavailable right now,

but if you leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Well sweetheart, Anderton beat us to the punch.

Maybe next time answer my calls.

Sorry.

Nevermind. Erm,...

... I love you. I'll call you when I land.

- Talk to me. - A yacht.

You don’t say. But whose yacht?

Alexi Litinov. Constantine Clios was also on board.

Clios?

Villa Camella? Is that confirmed?

Nothing confirmed a yet, sir.

That’s enough,... let’s go.

Madame Clios.

No, no, no,... not again. No...

I'm so sorry,... ?

I'm so sorry.

Haven’t you got work to do?

I want you to come home now!

I want you to come home now.

I want you to come home.

How awful.

Sounds better in French.

It’s your father.

I know.

If it’s true.

Does "she" know?

Where’s Christos?

Christos, what is going on?

Is it Constantine?

- Yes. - What happened?

Is he all right? What happened?

He was on a boat...

... there was an accident.

He's dead.

No.

No, no,...

- ... that's not right. - Georgina.

There's something down there...

- ... on the rocks, see it? - Yes, I see.

Can you bring us in closer?

She moved,... She’s alive.

- Could've been the waves. - No, she moved.

Georgina.

Adam.

- I cannot... - It’s so hard to take in.

Georgie, I missed you.

Irina.

My mother's here.

Here she is.

- Commissioner. - Yes.

First reports are of some malfunction in the fuel tank.

We don't know whether it was accidental yet.

Litvinov's yacht sank in the main sea lane.

Luckily, there are protocols in place for that.
