Cold Play

- I've told you already, Angus Stewart murdered my wife.

I went to Rome on a business trip,

when I got home this evening,

I found our master bath covered in her blood.

The bastard took my dagger, he went upstairs

and he drove the dagger into her

while she was taking a hot bath.

And he took the body, my painting, my Imperial egg

and he loaded it into his car,

he must have dumped the body before he got home,

that's when you found him.

The video proves he was the last one to see her alive,

you have the dagger, my painting,

a one-way ticket to leave the country under a false name,

her blood is on the artwork

and God knows where he hid the egg.

The bastard killed my wife and stole my egg

and I swear, he's gonna pay for it.

You still think I did it?

I told you what happened,

he's a cold-hearted jealous psychopath,

he threatened to kill her,

when he found out about us, he lost it.

It's true, I was with her earlier this evening,

but when he came home and found the video

that's what would have pushed him over the edge.

He grabbed the carving knife,

he went upstairs to the bathroom to kill her,

she coughed up my address before he slit her throat,

he could have ditch the body anywhere,

he loaded up the car with the painting

and he planted it at my place while I was at Aqua.

I was having a beer, you can check with the bartender.

He killed his wife in a crime of passion,

and know, he's going to kill me,

don't you see it?

- The last and final item on tonight's docket,

is the incomparable Imperial egg.

The eggs were designed primarily at the behest

of Russian Czars, Alexander III and Nicholas II,

as annual Easter gifts for Serena's Maria and Alexandra.

One of the most glittering examples of these Easter eggs

is the incredible Imperial egg.

- Don't wear those Indigo, you look whorish.

- What are you paying for exactly, you may ask?

Why, the very vision and genius

of the House of Fontainebleau.

Two Impressive eggs,

presented to the Dowager Empress, Maria Fedorovna,

the Imperial egg of 1913 and the Grisaille of 1914,

may best represent the height of Fontainebleau's career,

expressions in miniature of a life of royal privilege.

As you can see, the Imperial egg is an exquisite example

of the opulence that Russian royalty

was accustomed to living with prior to the revolution.

Tonight, the bidding will begin at a modest price

of $10 million U.S.

Am I bid 10 million please?

Do I have 10 million, I have $10 million,

thank you very much sir, am I bid 11?

I'm bid 11 million, thank you very much ma'am,

the bid is 11, do I hear 12?

I have $12 million, thank you sir.

12 million is bid, do I hear 13?

I have 13 million, thank you sir.

13 is bid, may I have 14 million please?

Do I have a bid, I have a bid of 14 million,

thank you very much sir.

The bid is 14 million, may I have 15,

may I have 15 for this exquisite egg?

Thank you sir, I have 15 million, do I hear 16?

May I have 16 million, I have 16 million,

thank you very much sir.

The bid is 16 million, do I hear 17?

May I have 17 million please, 17?

Now is the time to act ladies and gentlemen,

fair warning, 16 million going once,

16 million going twice--

20 million.

- 20 million, I have 20 million, why thank you sir.

The bid is 20 million, do I have 21?

21 sir?

Very well then, 20 million is bid,

20 million going once, 20 million going twice,

sold for $20 million, thank you.

So nice to see you again, thank you.

Thank you very much.

(speaking in foreign language)

You came, you saw, you conquered.

That's a Latin, dear.

Thank You Natalie, we certainly did.

Was there ever any doubt?

What do you think, Rupert?

Well, (speaks in foreign language).

You only live once.

- Listen, you two have a great night and bravo.

See you at the club.

The Imperial egg, congratulations.

Thank you.

It is one of a kind.

Yes, she truly is and she's mine.

- And that piece you sold me was way overpriced,

my insurance were only covered for half the amount I paid,

but I imagine you knew that.

Caveat emptor.

- How about some champagne for the occasion?

That sounds lovely.

No thank you, we're leaving.

Goodnight Santiago.

20 million, bold move you two.

I wonder, the egg was yours

before we could even collect our thoughts,

absolutely brilliant, was that your idea, Indigo?

- Unless you know my wife much better than I do,

I'd say you're being way too generous.

Indigo, well done.

- To Winston Thorpe, a man who knows what he wants

and he will stop at nothing to get it.

- I don't know what's going on between you and Santiago

or whatever it is, I want it to end.

- There's nothing going on between me and Sa--

You know what I said.

Oh God, Winston you scared me.

It's 2:30 in the morning,

who could you possibly be talking to at 2:30 in the morning?

- I'm checking my messages, Jessica called,

she said we're on for the club tomorrow.

What, you don't believe me?

Here, check the caller ID, I'm going to bed.

Rafael.

Lemonade?

He can drink from the hose.

- It's hot out there, he's been digging that koi pond for--

He's the help.

Where'er you going?

I'm going to the club to meet Jessica.

Where's your gear bag?

I'm getting a massage.

Hey, I'm running a little bit late,

probably about half an hour, okay, bye.

Who's that?

Jessica.

Jessica, hi, Winston Thorpe,

Indigo is running a bit late, cheers.

Winston, you kill me.

May I go now?

Bastard.

I'm sorry, but it's better to know.

Is it?

Now, about me money.

Hello Angus.

Nigel.

You still owe us 50,000.

Do you think we were too stupid to find you,

you stupid fuck?

- I've got some money, inside pocket, it's 10 grand.

Where's the rest?

It's coming at you, I swear.

- Two weeks, next time I'll take the interest

by cutting fingers off your fucking hand.

Hello.

Is this Angus Stewart?

Who wants to know?

His name is Santiago Valdez,

he's an Argentine, he owns a polo team.

And you believe he's shagging your wife.

- I'm absolutely positive, I just need the proof.

- Well that's a problem, I'm a wee bit busy.

- Look, I'll pay you $1000 a day, starting right now.

Plus expenses.

Done.

- Oh, look at that, my schedule just opened up.

- I'm going to New York, I'll be back in three days.

Doesn't work like that,

these things take time, just so you know.

I know she's having an affair,

I just need the proof, I'll take it from there,

she belongs to me, am I clear?

Absolutely.

What do you do when you get the proof?

- I'm gonna pay you $1 million to kill the bastard.

Look, I'm not a murderer.

You can dispense with the histrionics,

you don't think I would know everything

about a person I'd hire to tail my wife?

I know about your past Benjamin Bright,

I know all about you.

- I'm sorry, I'm out of the killing business.

You have to find someone else for that.

I see.

Well, we'll cross that bridge.
