I got him. The helicopter will be here in two minutes. How are we on time? Okay. Get him in here. May? - Yes, sir? - I know you're busy, but I want you to put in a call to Eddie Sloane for me. - At home, sir? - No, he's at the office.

- Bill? - Huh? Bill. - Bill. - Yeah. Yes, he's, um... He's an agent for the Internal Revenue Service. Mmm, yes, we were convinced that Bontecou, on past deals, has structured his mergers and acquisitions... in suspicious and complicated ways so as to evade paying the taxes he is liable for. The agency asked Bill for his cooperation in an undercover investigation of Bontecou. We wanted to go after him, and this deal gave us that perfect opportunity. - And I offered to cooperate. - And we're very grateful. Uh, Agent Joe Black here... Of course, that's not his real name... smelled out your involvement, Drew. He developed evidence you were working both sides of the fence. Unfortunately, that is what is known as a conflict of interest. Undisclosed conflict of interest. - An offense. - An indictable offense. - And a likely conviction. - Very likely. I think I'd like to talk to my lawyer. No lawyers, Drew. Uh, we're gonna offer you a deal. Confess to the board every detail of your participation, then submit your resignation. What do I get? You get not to go to jail. You're talking through your hat. You're offering me a deal because you've got no proof. Proof? We've got plenty of proof. He's talking through his lips. Drew, make no mistake. Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be looking at an outcome that will have a finality... that is beyond your comprehension. And you will not be counting the days or the months or the years, but millenniums in a place with no doors.

You're a useless sack of shit, Drew. You played footsie with John Bontecou... so you could dismember my company to line your own pockets. I don't know where you get that idea. The board agreed... The board didn't know you were a mole who burrowed inside so you could bury us all. Is this Mr. Black's fantasy? Another one of his whoppers? Aren't you sick of this asshole lurking around? Nobody knows who he is. But one thing everybody does know, he somehow got your ear and has been pouring poison into it ever since. You're the poison, Drew. You've operated behind the scenes to suborn the trust of a man... who has stamped you with his imprimatur of class, elegance and stature. I've had the opportunity to be witness to every kind and degree of deception. But Bill Parrish has been on the receiving end of machinations so Machiavellian... that it has rarely been my experience to encounter. And yet, he has combatted them stoically and selflessly, without revealing my identity. Had he violated the vow of secrecy he took, his task would have been far easier. He could have turned defeat into victory. But he is too honorable a man to have done that. Because of me, he has lost his work, his company, his reputation. So now, given these losses, I'm compelled to end the need for secrecy.
