Not guilty!
So you were fucking the court stenographer.
I was just fantasizing I was fucking the court stenographer.
- Not sure I like that, David. - It was you who started this fantasy game.
Yeah, and you seem to have mastered it.
I wonder what my father would say if he knew an embassy counselor...
was fantasizing sex in the courtroom?
I'm sure the Ambassador has had a few carnal thoughts in his lifetime.
Why don't you ask him at our little wedding-planning dinner?
I don't think so, Tish.
It's...
interesting.
Welcome to the Alhambra.
The housekeepers leave at sunset.
As you can see, we have very few guests in winter.
Breakfast is served 7:00 to 10:00.
No lunch or dinner, but you will find excellent dining...
in Veszprem.
Wow. This is actually nice.
Very nice.
The baths are open until the night.
They are a short walk from here.
My name is Josef Klim.
Anything you need, do not hesitate to call me.
"Do not hesitate to call me."
Okay, is it just me, or is the Klim guy just a little bit creepy?
So you wanna unpack or something?
Or something, huh?
What really is your fantasy?
I mean, if you could have...
one thing in the entire world...
what would it be?
Marry you and get elected President.
That's two.
Political success. I already have you.
I'm serious.
It's a silly game.
I want you to give me one...
really good reason why you want to marry me.
One: I love you.
Two: I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
And three: I get to have the most awesome bachelor party in the world.
I cannot understand your complete obsession with this night...
of infantile debauchery that your so-called friends have planned for you.
Come here.
I want to go see...
these famous baths...
and then I want to come back here and fuck.
Sounds good to me.
"Sounds good to me."
You're so adorable.
You know, bachelor parties are a tradition.
- It's some tradition. - Women have them, too.
Yeah, I know. Lynn's was absurd. I mean, imagine 20 college-educated...
My, my.
Incredible.
Don't push your luck.
- Well, I only meant that... - I know exactly what you meant.
I wonder who she is.
Why don't you go down there and ask her? I'm sure she'd appreciate the intrusion.
Where you going?
I didn't drive all this way to stare at a naked woman.
Well, it seems like a perfectly good reason to me.
That's funny.
Tell me the truth.
You were just thinking about that woman, weren't you?
No.
Liar.
Okay.
My mother is driving me crazy.
You sure you want to do it now? Or wait till the spring in the States?
Do not try to weasel out on me.
I came all the way here to get married...
before I lose you to some long-legged Hungarian beauty.
We can have the reception in the spring.
What are we gonna do tonight?
Your creepy little friend recommended a restaurant in Veszprem...
and told me about this great club.
Can we go, please?
Sure. He also told me about that girl.
What girl?
The one from the baths, remember?
Obviously, you do.
He told me that she's the only other guest in the hotel...
that she comes here frequently from Budapest...
that she comes from a mega-rich family, such as yourself...
and she's a model...
and she's done some film.
Did you happen to get her shoe size while you were at it?
- I was just making conversation. - Just making conversation.
I'm gonna go get a drink. Want one?
You sure?
This afternoon...
you knew we were watching you, didn't you?
You and your husband?
Fiance.
My name is Risa.
Tish.
So why did you come here?
To dance.
I mean here, to the baths.
To get away.
Have a little adventure.
And have you had an adventure?
Not really.
You want one? You and your fiance?
Hey!
David!
Risa.
Risa, David.
I'll get my things.
What's going on?
Just think of it as the best fucking bachelor party you'll ever have.
I don't know why, but I wanted to all of a sudden.
It was better than any fantasy.
We're crazy, you know that?
I love you.
I know.
Me, too, to you.
How can you defend them, Richard?
It's not about defending anyone. I just don't agree with you.
You don't think the White House is dismantling our civil liberties?
No, I don't think so.
Our guests aren't interested in this, Perry.
Well, they should be, dear Sister. What we do affects everyone.
When we say, "Jump," the rest of the world says, "How high?"
That was rude, and this is not the time or the place.
Why not?
What do you say, Mr. Szamos?
Careful, Tamas. You are very bad at jumping.
In these troubled times, I would presume that safeguards...
might be your President's first priority.
As usual, my son grossly exaggerates the issue.
Nobody is dismantling anything.
It's a perfectly normal price to pay for homeland security.
Please. They're stealing America...
and God forbid if you're anti-war, pro-choice, or gay...
or not one of their fanatical legions of evangelical hand puppets.
Yes, God forbid.
What about the Judiciary?
Isn't anyone concerned...
that it's being turned into a goddamn right-wing dog-and-pony show?
Perry. Language.
Sorry, Mother, but really, it's a joke.
Just like their slash-and-burn environmental policies.
Well, you may not have noticed, Son, but there is an energy crisis...
and the White House doesn't have to sugarcoat reality.
We are at war...
and the world of your tree-hugging ideology is passe...
and it is uninformed, and it is dangerous.
To the oil companies it is.
Excuse me?
Sometimes I think it's just White House rhetoric...
masking conservative support of big business...
designed to scare us into oil exploration.
Everything they're doing is designed on fear.
Fear?
We're a nation scared of our own shadow.
How the hell did a liberal Republican get appointed counselor in your embassy?
He's a very fine lawyer, that's how.
Not to mention he's screwing the Ambassador's daughter.
And doing it quite well, I might add.
Shame on you, Tish. And you, too, Perry.
Pay them no mind.
Lynn is my only child with any sense of grace and subtlety.
These two act like Southern Democrats.
I can't talk to him, anymore. No one can.
- It's Mother I feel sorry for. - I don't.
She should have left him years ago, especially after that little intern thing.
I can't believe you said that about David and Tish at dinner tonight.
I can't believe our dear mother compared us to Southern Democrats.
She lives in another world.
No shit. She thinks Perry's just flamboyant.
Very funny!
Well, Daddy wasn't amused.
He never is.
Would you like to dance?
I'm married.
Don't be a bitch. He meant me.
There's a rumor going around that the State Department...
has made a decision on the Karasz oil leases.
Forget it, Richard, they're not gonna give it to us.
They're gonna give it to someone with more experience.
Look, I know the Vaci deal didn't work out for you.
It wasn't my fault.
I'm not saying it was. It's just...
that comment you made at dinner didn't help.
I was just fed up with the way he was hammering Perry all night.
And trust me on this, you can't hurt him. He's the king.
Yeah, well, sometimes you gotta take a shot at the king...
to remind him the peasants are still out there.
Yeah, only if you want to remain a peasant.
I think I'm gonna call it a night. I got immigration tomorrow.
Okay. I'm gonna stay with my parents tonight and run interference for Perry.
- Think he's gonna need it. - Okay.
Talk to you later.
- Night, David. - Love you!
So there's a rumor that Harold Simms is pushing for David and Richard...
to get the Karasz oil leases.
Really?
This could be David's way to a congressional seat.
The White House would owe him.
I wanted to ask how you guys liked the Alhambra.
I've heard the baths are unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
What happened?
He gave us the Karasz oil leases.
Then why do you look like he just had your balls for lunch?
I really wasn't expecting it.
- Good morning, Dora. - Good morning.
We got the Karasz deal.
Congratulations, sir!
So hold all my calls and get Tish on the line, please.
Hang on.
Yeah?
Hang on.
Tish! Phone for you.
Can I call you back?
David's on the phone for you and we're late.
Hi, babe. What's up?
They gave me the Karasz oil leases.
That's fantastic.
Did you know?
Not for sure. Lynn might've mentioned something.
David, I am very proud of you.
Look, I've got to go. We're checking out the church for the wedding...
but I'll meet you for lunch at Cafe Marue.
Okay.
Where the hell did you get these?
In the mail today.
No return address, no note, nothing.
David, we look seriously hot in these.
We look like we're in deep shit, that's what we look like.
I don't understand. I mean, how'd she do it?
I don't know. Maybe someone was there, hiding...
or maybe a camera was planted.
Oh, my God, what if it was the creep? I mean, think about it, David.
He's the one that told you all about her, and the club. Remember?
If this kind of thing got out...
- Can I bring you something? - No.
At least you're a Harrington.
Meaning what?
You got your gazillion-dollar trust fund, and your daddy's always gonna be there for you.
What are you talking about, David?
I never had anyone protect me.
I'm from Wilmington, Delaware. I grew up on food stamps.
My father?
My father was a fucking drunk who could never keep a job.
Easy on the melodrama.
You know I've been talking to the Party about a congressional seat.
The Karasz deal could be my ticket out.
I'm not gonna let this fuck it up.
What am I in this? Just part of your political ambition?
Is that what this is all about?
"David marries an ambassador's daughter...
"and scores his big chance to fuck his way to Washington"?
I'm sorry. Tish.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it the way it sounded.
I love you. You know that.
Okay.
Maybe she just sent them as a souvenir or something.
I want whatever these were made from.
The tape, the film, whatever.
And how do you plan on doing that?
Go back to the Alhambra and have a little talk with Mr. Klim.
And what if he had nothing to do with it?
Maybe he can tell us where we can find her.
David...
we have people who can take care of this kind of thing.
No.
No one will ever know about this...
ever.
The Karasz oil lease documents...
and you have that meeting with Mr. Szamos this afternoon.
Dora, get me out of it. I have something else I have to do.
Okay.
He's gone.
The new manager told me that he just up and quit the other night.
I got the number of the property management company that hired him.
Well, get in, let's go.
Not till after we get a look at that room.
- What good is that gonna do? - We might find something.
Yeah, like guests.
I knocked. No one's there. Come on.
- Shit! - What?
I cut myself.
This is crazy. Someone had to hear that.
- How bad is it? - I'll be fine.
There's somebody staying here.
David, did you hear me?
One of the angles was from above the bed.
You see anything?
There's a wire.
Here.
David.
It's a camera.
No one's asked for any money.
Not yet.
Look, maybe we should just tell my father.
I might as well put a gun to my head and pull the trigger.
We'll go to that company he worked for.
I'll find him...
and we'll give him whatever he wants.
Josef Klim doesn't work for us, anymore.
- Since when? - Two days ago.
Most managers are rental gypsies. They live where they work.
The Alhambra was his last known residence, as far as I know.
That is his cell phone number.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Here's my card. If you hear anything, please call.
I will.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
He's not answering. There's no voice mail.
So we wait.
See what they have in mind.
Maybe I can get Dora to get a billing address for his cell phone.
Yeah.
I am so sorry about this, David.
This whole thing, it's my fault.
I could've said no that night.
I don't see what you have against a jazz combo.
Well, Mother, we were hoping for something a little more upbeat.
I like jazz. They played jazz at our wedding.
And what about your older wedding guests?
- Fuck them. - Perry.
No one wants a jazz combo, Mother. Believe me.
Listen to Perry. He is the artiste in the family.
What do you say, David?
David.
I'm sorry?
Mother wants to know what kind of music you want at our reception.
I was just saying how a jazz combo...
A jazz combo would be great.
David.
Excuse me.
- Hey. - Great party.
- Yeah. - They're gonna miss you here.
Their loss, my gain. Hey, how's that Karasz thing coming?
Slow. There's a lot to sift through.
Well, George Szamos said he set up a meeting with you...
and you blew him off? What...
I didn't mean to leave him with that impression.
I'll hook up with him Monday morning. I promise.
This is important, David.
I know, sir. I'm not gonna let you down.
I'm not worried about you letting me down.
I'm just... I'm kind of concerned about Tish.
David, I'm not sure you have what it takes.
I mean, you remember when that Vaci deal fell through...
and we had that meeting?
I still feel the same way, you know. I still see that desperation in your eyes.
I mean, I think you're always gonna be on the outside looking in.
It's not your fault.
It's this inherent flaw. It's because of where you come from.
You're never going to understand the power of wealth...
and the subtle guarantees in life that come with it.
I mean, you can taste it, and you can smell it, and you can touch it...
but you're never really gonna understand it...
as desperately as you want to.
And desperation leads to failure...
and failure isn't what I had in mind for my daughter.
Tell me something, Lynn.
What's Daddy's pain threshold right now?
What do you mean?
You know...
with all the talk about the possible Supreme Court appointment and all...
how much can he take before he goes ballistic?
What's wrong?
- Oh, my God, are you pregnant? - No.
- Well, are you in some sort of trouble? - No.
Look, it's no big deal, really.
Just forget I said anything.
Hey.
I can't stop thinking about it.
It's okay.
We'll get through it. We'll find a way.
He's afraid I'll fail you.
What are you talking about? Who's afraid?
Your father.
Tonight, at the reception, he reminded me that he still blames me for the Vaci deal...
that I don't...
have what it takes...
to make it in your world.
That's just his elite Harrington bullshit.
God. I've heard it all before. He's wrong.
He's wrong about you.
He's wrong about money and its power.
That's what makes the rich strong.
They do things because they can...
when everyone else does them 'cause they have to.
Money is the only real guarantee in life.
What's up, Richard?
I need for you not to fuck up here.
Meaning what?
When I married into the Harringtons, I thought I owned the world.
It didn't take long to realize if you're not one of them...
you're not one of anything.
I know.
Well, then, you also know the prenup you're signing leaves you nothing...
if the marriage doesn't last.
They're hard work, the Harringtons.
A lot of time and energy invested with a potential for no payday.
Unless...
we take advantage of what their position in life has to offer by way of an opportunity.
The Karasz leases are a big prize, David.
They could lead to better days...
for both of us.
I found the address that matches that cell phone number.
I was just saying that your father was a bit concerned...
about, you know, how it looks when you stay overnight at David's apartment.
God, you are so Republican.
That is horrendous.
It's Italian, from a top designer in Milan.
It's Versace on acid.
When did you become an expert on wedding dresses?
Hey, honey, what's up?
Tish. No.
Calm down.
What about this one, dear?
They want $200,000.
This came from some Internet cafe in Buda.
We should tell the police. I mean, now that you have his address, they...
Can't trust the police.
We need help, David.
You won't let me talk to anybody. Please, let me just go to my father.
Richard was just in my office begging me not to screw up the Karasz deal.
Knowing the way your father feels about me...
what do you think he would do if he found out about this?
Did you know the Party talked to him...
about endorsing you for a congressional seat?
I'll pay them.
I'll drain my accounts. I have enough.
No, we'll just get it from my trust.
You can't start messing with your trust. People will start asking questions.
We all got our shares after we turned 21. No one would suspect a thing.
No. Let's just do it my way.
I have enough.
Do you even know this amusement park that they want us to go to?
Yeah, it's been closed down for a while, but there's no "us." I'm going alone.
No, you're not.
We're in this together.
It's past time.
Maybe it's some sort of test.
You know, see if we brought the police or anything.
- Why'd you bring your gun? - Lf he doesn't come to us, we'll go to him.
- David, did you hear me? - Yeah, I heard you.
- I brought it 'cause I thought I might need it. - Well, I don't like it.
Neither do I.
Take it out very slowly.
Put it on the ground.
Good.
Is that the money?
Yes.
You. Bring it to me.
What about what we're buying with it?
You will get it.
- When? - Soon.
Don't do anything stupid and no one gets hurt!
David.
Just do as he says.
Just do what he says.
I'm walking out of here...
and you stay right where you are.
When I get to the car I let her go.
You do anything to stop me and she's dead.
David!
- Tish. - Here.
- You okay? - I think so.
Where'd he go?
He's up there.
Give me what I fucking paid for!
Get down!
- Let him go! - That's my life savings!
Oh, God.
Shit.
David!
I don't like this.
Stay here.
Look, it's him.
He's dead.
I'm scared, David.
This isn't about us fucking on some video.
It's murder.
We've gone from blackmail to murder.
There was this guy I did some work for when I first started with the Embassy...
an American who got himself into some trouble.
He might be able to help.
Her face looks familiar, but it don't ring no bells.
How would we go about looking for her?
If she's pussy for hire, I'd start by hitting the streets.
Strip joints, fuck clubs, peepshows.
There are a couple of places that might be able to help you.
In the meantime, I'll make a few calls.
- What was her name again? - Risa. If that's her real name.
Are you sure you want to mess with this?
I'd appreciate it if you made the calls.
It's done. No questions asked and no names.
I still owe you a big one.
Excuse me, you know her?
Her name is Risa.
Do you speak English?
Do you know her?
I'm looking for someone.
If she's pussy for hire, I'd start by hitting the streets.
Strip joints, fuck clubs, peepshows.
Are you sure you want to mess with this?
Do you know her? She has brown hair.
You waste my time.
Let's go.
