The Accountant Page #2

Synopsis: Christian Wolff is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King, starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.

Do you fish? I got a two-acre pond

that is just thick with catfish and bass...

I don't fish. I shoot.

Well, the farm's a perfect place

to do a little plinkin', so...

Well...

Thank you.

You take care, son.

Thank you.

My daughter's meeting me for lunch.

I think you two just might hit it off.

Nice to see you.

Already enhanced.

Was taken three years ago in Antwerp

by an undercover Interpol agent.

Their target's on the far right.

Yeah, Zalmay Atta.

Go on.

Ran the world's largest opium pipeline.

Ties to Karzai and Ghani, Taliban.

I mean, he was considered untouchable.

Look at the rest. Tell me what you see.

Yeah, I remember most of these arrests.

They were huge.

Focus. They're not all arrests.

It's the same man.

"Lou Carroll."

For what it's worth, it's an alias.

The Hong Kong photo

goes back about five years.

In that one, he's "Carl Gauss."

Tokyo, Tel Aviv, Naples.

There was a sighting in Tehran.

All describing the same man.

"An accountant."

"Our accountant." "The accountant."

The accountant, like CPA accountant?

Okay.

Say you're the head of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Now, the cartels count their money

by weighing it in 18-wheelers.

But one sunny Mexican day,

your in-house money scrubber comes to you

and says you're 30 million light.

Who can you trust to do

the forensic accounting,

track your stolen cash?

Deloitte and Touche? H&R Block?

You somehow

contact an individual

capable of coming in cold,

un-cooking years of books,

and getting out alive.

I retire in seven months.

Before I do, I need to know

who he is, how he does it.

I mean, who survives

this kind of clientele?

The secrets this guy has.

What exactly do you want me to do?

Report directly to me.

No other case work.

No other Treasury personnel involved.

At the end of the month,

one of two things will have occurred.

Resolution of this case,

or we update your photo.

You want it your way? You got it!

Mom! Mom! Mom!

Mom! Why is Mom leaving? Mom!

Mom! Mom!

- I just got home.

- You're always...

Mom! Why are you leaving?

I'm just asking you to stay.

- Just, please stay.

- We had help!

- Stay here! Don't go anywhere!

- You threw it away!

No. Hey.

That's it.

Please don't leave...

Mom!

Here we go, here we go.

Here we go.

Solomon Grundy

Born on a Monday

Christened on Tuesday

Married on a Wednesday

Sick on Thursday

Died on a Saturday

Buried on Sunday

- That was the end of Solomon Grundy

- That was the end of Solomon Grundy

Do it again.

Solomon Grundy

Born on a Monday

Looks like somebody's seen

too many westerns.

Yeah, must be what...

A mile out?

Not on my best day...

Holy sh*t.

Okay, listen to me.

In-flec-tion. Right?
