Aquila is a general

for the Ecuadorian army.

He's not an officer

or an employee of Clearbec.

We are not guilty

of anything.

I'm saddened and disgusted as

to what happened down there,

- But we are not to blame.

- Yeah, so? Then what?

- Damage control.

- Damage control?

- Yes.

- Do you understand

That it was more

than just a few villagers?

It was hundreds

of people, Bruce!

Even though

Clearbec is innocent,

We can't let

our south African partners

Find out what really happened

down there, all right?

It's best for the company.

Tony, I'll call you back.

Call me back!

How are you?

Oh Jesus,

are you all right?

What happened in Ecuador?

I am so sorry

you had to see that.

We pulled a file on that

kid. He was a nutcase.

He was working for an

anti-Government rag magazine.

He infiltrated

our Ecuadorian offices.

I listened to

a tape he left for me.

- A tape?

- What did we do down there?

- We have interests in Ecuador.

You know that. - Interests?

- Yes.

- A boy doesn't...

Blow his head off

over interests.

We're an international

company.

We can't possibly make

Everyone happy all the time.

It gets complicated.

It's best you don't

get involved.

Don't get involved

in our own company?

The company

that our father built?

Morgan, you do lunches.

You do ribbon cuttings.

You do fundraisers.

You do bad marriages.

Wow.

All right, I'm sorry.

You should go home,

Clean yourself up.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

What happened in Ecuador

needs to be contained, Doug.

Believe me, Bruce,

I know that.

None of these events can

be traced back to Clearbec

- At any cost.

- Right.

Now tony was shaken up, but

I think he will be all right.

But from what

I just heard,

I'm afraid your sister

might be a problem.

What are you

suggesting?

Morgan needs

to be deflected.

Goldman brothers, line two.

You gotta take it.

Bobby, how are you?

How the hell do you expect

me to get this closed?

Have you seen what's

coming about Clearbec

Since that kid

blew his brains out?

That kid was

a nut job, Robert.

The press is

all over it, Bruce.

It's completely killing

the financing.

We have to close

by the end of next week,

Otherwise South Africa pulls

out. That's the scheduled close.

You want to be closed by the end of

next week, then our fees just doubled.

Does that mean we're not

playing squash on Saturday?

You'll have

a new deal memo in an hour.

I want it signed

and executed back today.

- Fine. - And if anything else

like this happens, Bruce,

We're out of this deal.

Bye-Bye.

I have no idea

how many were killed.

Hundreds.

They burned the bodies, the evidence.

But some got away.

I did. Were they

infected? Did they survive?
