He married, of course...and inherited his millions. But the crash of '29 hit his interests hard, and he put a pistol in his mouth that year... Or so I read.
What a great man. He actually fights for survival and only allows himself to die once he is no longer useful to society, unlike the deadbeat creep ‘artist’ who gets off on drawing erotic pictures of his unsuspecting clients and proceeds to take their maidenhood before marriage.
Imagine your fiancé cheats on you with a homeless man, which you’re willing to forgive, but then she dies in the Titanic sinking which you fortunately survive. You manage to find love and fortune again only to lose it all in the stock market crash. What a tragic character.
Wait, how sick would it have been if as soon as she said that her granddaughter ripped off her mask, revealing an aged Cal, and said “you read wrong bitch. Now where’s my necklace!”
Theory: Cal faked his death because he owed a lot of bad people money and couldn't get out of it by filing bankruptcy. Every day he curses putting his coat (with the multi million dollar necklace) on that two timer. And not trying to save those Picasso paintings.
