Mr. Black left his wife two months before she gave birth to their first child. Mr. Black left her for his secretary. Allegedly Rand thought this type of behavior was reprehensible for a senior exec. So Rand was going to terminate Mr. Black on a violation of his morals and ethics clause. Then someone pulled Rand aside and reminded him of what he had done just a few years earlier. Rand turned red and Black backed the truck up to the front door of BE and loaded it up with cash. |

I heard that Rand had grown tired of his new wife and took a vacation to Montana with Mr. Black. During this time of intraspection their feeings grew for each other. Upon returning to BE the pressure was too intense and Rand left, paying Mr. Black with a $2.54M check as hush money.
Mr. Black then hired a screenwriter with this money and together they drafted the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain, based on actual events from a vacation in Montana.
