Our Kind of Traitor Page #3

- Great. Thank you.

Well, this is a coincidence.

Not exactly.

I don't even know your name.

Luke.

I'm gonna bet

that's not your real name.

No?

Shall we?

I'm sorry

to call you back like this,

but we've had a chance

to examine the contents

of the memory stick.

Did Dima

ever mention your involvement

in any future negotiations?

What negotiations?

He's asked to meet us in Paris.

He wants you there when

we make contact with him.

- Why?

- He doesn't trust us.

Probably worried we'll get

the information

we need out of him

and feed him back to the wolves.

- But he hardly knows me.

- He knew you well enough

to know you'd pass on

his message.

Obviously thinks

you're a man of principle.

I can't get involved.

Well, I'm afraid

you are involved.

Trouble is, from the moment

you accepted the memory stick,

he put his life and the lives

of his children in your hands.

If his children are in danger,

ifs his own fault.

We have no obligation

whatsoever to this man.

These are the parents

of the twins that you met.

And this is

the older sister, Anna.

She was 17.

You're a prick.

Well, that's as may be.

Believe me, I would rather not

have you mixed up

in this either.

Dima has a meeting

in Bern next week

where he'll sign over

the accounts he controls

to the prince, just like

his old friend Misha did.

After that, he and his family

will most likely be executed.

Trouble is,

he'll only deal with us

if you and Gail are there.

He refuses to negotiate

with us otherwise.

He'll be working on

the assumption

that if we betray him,

you good people will stand up

for him and his family.

He's making

a lot of assumptions.

What choice does he have?

He's trying to protect

the people he loves.

They're using you.

Just like Dima.

Well, it doesn't make it

any easier to say no.

You don't even know

these people.

You don't know the people

that you defend.

And you do

everything you can for them,

whether they're innocent or not.

I can't stop thinking about him.

His family, those kids.

If something should

happen to them...

May I ask you a question?

Does Bill Matlock know

we're using civilians?

Yes.

What are you working on?

I'm reading about the Vory.

That's what Dima is, isn't he?

It describes how they recruit

people in jail.

They look for people

who are disillusioned

with their lives,

people who've lost their way,

and they give them back

their sense of purpose.

Dima's attending

a fashion show with the prince

a1 {he Pam Palais.

Your cover is you're there

to see an exhibition

on a romantic weekend.

Assuming he shows up,

let him approach you.

When he does, look surprised,

then listen carefully

to every word he says.

Just be yourselves.

I! his companions

question you,

stick to the truth

as much as you can.

It's always more convincing.

Professor!

What the f***

are you doing here?

Dima.

First I kiss your wife.

Lovely to see you.

Don't tell me

he's taking you

to a f***ing museum.

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

Dante iliusire.

When you're in Paris,

you should take your wife

shopping, you know?

- What kind of man are you?

- What are you doing here?

Well, I'm on my way to Bern,

but my boss wants to see

the fashion show.

And how are

your gorgeous family?

They're all good.

Natasha is here. Natasha.

All the rest are in Switzerland.

It's nice to see you again.

Hey. How are you doing?

Aren't you going to introduce

us to your friends, Dima?

I'm Gail and this is

my husband Perry.

- Hey.

- Emilio Del Oro.

How do you know Dima?

We met on holiday.

How do you feel about Paris?

How long are you gonna stay?

How long are you in town for?

We leave

the day after tomorrow.

Okay, so tomorrow

we play tennis.

I'll beat the sh*t out of you.

Anything else that stood out?

Just the tennis.

12:
00 at the Club des Rois.

Well, he also said,

"I'll buy you a massage

after I beat you."

Yeah.

You okay to go?

Do we have a choice?

We'll make contact tomorrow

and it'll be over, I promise.

Okay.

Mondays, the resident masseurs

at the Club des Rois

have the day off.

They only come in

by appointment.

Clever bastard.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

Too early for a glass

of champagne?

Never too early for me.

Professor!

Good to see you.

Gail, you beautiful woman.

- Everything okay?

- Yes.

I've got clothes for you.

Gail, you look after

my Natasha?

Yeah, of course.

- I'll bring it over.

- Thanks.

Nice to see you again.

There you go.

- Right.

- This way.

- I've never been here before.

- Really?

- Shall we have a seat?

- Yeah.

Did you have a good night,

Professor?

Great. And yours?

Sh*t.

After you.

It's good to meet you.

I need some of your famous

f***ing British fair play.

First of all we have to decide

if what you have to offer

is worthwhile.

My information is good.

My papa

just told me about it.

But you've been

to Paris before?

Yes.

- And you?

- Yeah.

- I've been to Paris before.

- Time's up.

Gotta go.

Hello, boys.

F***.

Names, addresses.

Bankers, politicians.

Names and addresses.

No account numbers.

Nothing we can't find

in the phone book.

An extraordinary

list of names, though.

It's no good

to us so far.

Are you all right?

(Wm

You've stopped breathing,

Professor.

Calm.

You'll have a heart attack.

A list of names and personal

information isn't enough.

I need proof

that all these people

are being paid by the Prince.

You get my family to England,

I'll tell you everything.

You cooperate

or there'll be no deal.

You give that list

to your bosses

and see what they say.

I know what it's worth.

I want UK passports.

I want 24-hour protection

for my family.

How much are these people

being guaranteed

if the Arena Bank

gets its license in London?

5 million each.

And Aubrey Longrigg?

10 million on signature.

Another 10 million

on first day of trading.

All paid to a secret account

in Switzerland.

I need their account numbers.

Bankers, politicians,

all of them.

I don't have them

until after Bern.

I make the payments to them

at the same time I sign over

the accounts that I control

to the Arena Bank.

Well, then, I'm afraid

I can't do anything

for you or your family

until then.

Why can't you get them out now?

This doesn't concern you.

It's okay, Professor.

When does the signing

take place?

Wednesday at 10:
00

at the Allied Bank in Bern.

After that, the prince will have a

reception at the Bellevue Hotel.

You get me their account numbers,

we'll find a way to smuggle you out.

I don't give a f***

what happens to me.

I want my family safe.

We will try

to take care of them, too.

I give you my word.

I don't trust your f***ing word.

Well, then, it's the end

of the conversation.

Okay. I'll go with the prince

to Bern.

I'll get the f***ing numbers.

- Where do you live in London?

- Chelsea.

- Are you happy?

- In Chelsea?

With your husband?

That's a very direct question.

I'm curious why a couple
