3x-xx-xx ep22 The Case Of Michael Detenier

A police reporter. A police reporter brings you a strange story that reads like fiction. Nevertheless, it is true in every detail.

About 15 years ago, a middle-aged man named Michael Dittendy walked into the offices of the largest insurance company in Budapest. He refused to state his business to the clerk and insisted on seeing the manager.

How'd you do, sir? I am the manager. Yes, but I'm much too busy to talk to policyholders who have no special business with me. But I have business with you. Business which may save you a lot of money if you listen who will of course that's that's quite different. Sit down. Thank you

No, what is it? My name is Michael Dattenye and I'm insured with your company for approximately $25,000 that's quite a considerable amount sir Yes, and mine is a double indemnity policy I see one of our policies which pays double indemnity for a natural debt is that it? Yes Well, what is it you want sir? I want you to give me $12,000 and take back your policy

You want to... You mind saying that again? I want to sell this policy back to you for $12,000. Well, now I don't see how that's possible, Mr. Dintenye. No? Not when I'm offering you a good business proposition?

Even if it were a good business proposition, I could not accept it against the rules. Then I'd advise you to change the rules. Because that policy is all I have in the world and my family are going to collect on it.

You mean if we don't give you the $12,000 you'll commit suicide? Certainly not. Do I look simple minded? My family receives nothing on this policy if I commit suicide. I'm glad you understand that. That's quite correct.
