It's good to see you. [chuckles] You look well. Ah... [chuckles] Considering.
Yes, well, thank you. And, uh... I'm sorry I let you down.
This is the nature of speculation, you know. Sometimes you achieve your ambitions. Sometimes... you fall short.
Look, I understand you can't write off 60 million as pure speculation.
Hm.
But instead of returning the money, what if we went one better?
Mm-hmm.
We take the 60 million, plus another 40 from me, and we invest it. Fifty farms across the continent within three years. It's not about retribution. It's about levelling the playing field.
You made a big play, Eddie. And you lost. People talk. Mud sticks, you know. You know what you need to do now? [in Italian] Retreat... Rebuild... Evolve.
And that is exactly what I intend to do, Marco.
Yes, but you need to earn people's trust.
What... What is this? Is this a brush-off?
No, no, no, no. It's just right now, I think you are not ready.
No, I am ready. No. I am. Before, I was encumbered. Now I am free from my previous associations. They were the ones holding me back.
[chuckles] Yes, you may be free, but you are alone. Eddie, you are alone. You have no roots in the world you intend to operate in. You understand? Ah. Hm?
Fine. Money will be in your account by the end of play.
[in Italian] Obviously. [leaves]
