Our Kind of Traitor Page #4

Synopsis: When Perry and his girlfriend, Gail, cross paths with the charismatic Dima on their Moroccan holiday, the forceful Russian is quick to challenge Perry to a friendly game of tennis. But this innocuous contest is not all it seems - Dima is a long-time servant of the Russian mafia, whose new boss, 'The Prince', wants him and his family dead. His only hope is to ask the unsuspecting Perry to broker him sanctuary with the British intelligence services, in return for exposing a vein of corruption that runs right to the heart of the City of London. Soon they find themselves on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps and, with the might of the Russian mafia closing in, begin to realise this particular match has the highest stakes of all.

who've been married 10 years

would take two romantic holidays

in the space of a month.

Where is he taking us?

Why are we going

on the motorway?

I have to drop something

for a friend.

It's okay, it's on the way.

We need to get to our hotel.

Just a few minutes.

What happened in there?

He gave him

another memory stick,

but it didn't seem to be enough.

They used his children's lives

to bargain with him.

I just stood there

and said nothing.

Well, what could you say?

I have to wait for her.

I'm sorry, Professor.

Well, how long is she gonna be?

15 minutes.

Get us a taxi.

No, taxi take longer.

Come inside. We'll leave

as soon as she comes.

It's not safe here.

My friend comes soon.

Have some tea.

Come, come, come.

Sit, sit, sit.

No, thanks.

Thank you.

It's funny you here in Paris.

Why is it funny?

You, me, Dima.

It's like Morocco.

It was sunnier in Morocco.

No, merci.

No, thanks.

Who you work for, Professor?

I teach at

a London university.

Maybe I come visit you

in London,

visit your house, we go

to football match together.

Stop! F***ing prick.

- You f***ing prick!

- It's okay. It's okay.

It's not okay.

What kind of guy does that?

You feel like a big man?

Feel like a big guy now, do you?

A big f***ing strong guy?

F***ing idiot.

- She needs a doctor.

- We'll look after her.

What are you doing?

Calling an ambulance

is what I'm doing.

It's okay.

- It's okay. I call doctor.

- Yeah?

- It's all right.

- Do it, then. Do it now.

You lied to Dima,

you lied to them

and you lied to me.

Bill Matlock has no idea

we're here, does he?

If you're concerned

about your career,

you can always go back

to counterterrorism.

F*** you.

Once we have

those account numbers,

London may listen to us.

Until then, they won't.

You okay?

No, we're not okay.

A car will come to meet you

off the Eurostar at St Pancras

and take you home.

When will the family

arrive in England?

Well, Dima's signing in Bern

is next Wednesday morning.

What's the matter?

We don't know when we can

get the family out.

Why not?

Because the operation

hasn't been sanctioned.

What does that mean?

It means that once we get Dima

back to the UK,

I'll be able to make a case

for the family.

They'll kill them.

We don't have the people

or the resources

to smuggle them all out.

Getting his family out

is all he wants.

That's all that matters to him.

Dima hasn't given me enough

to bargain with.

Our own authorities

won't accept them...

- They're children.

- They're his children.

How many people do you have?

Just the three of us.

And how many would you need?

If you leave his family behind,

do you think he's gonna give

you those account numbers?

Watch Movies and Series!

May I sit down?

Yeah.

Have you ever read

any Kolakowski?

He's a Polish philosopher.

Very stern views on good

and evil, which I share.

Evil is evil, not rooted

in a social circumstance.

Not about being deprived.

Not even controlled by God.

It's an entirely separate

human force.

I have a son.

He's in jail for selling drugs.

I believe Aubrey Longrigg,

who was my boss

before he went into politics,

tipped off the police

to discredit me

when I was making trouble

for him at MI6.

It's not the reason

I'm doing this, but, um...

I want you to know

that I have children, too.

I'll do everything I can

for the family.

Papa, museums are boring.

Especially Einstein and maths.

Do you know

what Einstein himself said?

You think you've got problems

with arithmetic?

I've got more f***ing problems.

Your mother and your sister

want to go. End of story.

Come on, let's go, a**holes.

You have to sign twice

for each numbered account.

Here

and here.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you each need to countersign

for your individual accounts.

The funds

will then be transferred.

This is the Bern

telephone conferencing center.

Please enter

your four-digit passcode.

Morning, boys and girls.

H! cue you

when I see Dima's party

on the way

to the Bellevue Hoiel.

No one to move until men.

This... Pen doesn't work.

Thank you.

One last signature here

transferring all remaining

funds to the Arena Bank.

The only time

my father ever hit me...

I remember that story.

I also remember when you were

a little child, Kolya,

and your father and I

took you hunting.

You were 12, maybe 13 years old

and you were so excited.

You couldn't wait

to kill something.

And then we saw this buck

and you raised the rifle,

but the buck just looked at you,

kept on grazing.

It wasn't afraid.

You tried and tried

to pull that trigger,

but you couldn't.

So you started crying

like a little girl.

Sol had to take the rifle

and kill it for you.

Papa's on the move.

They'll be with you shortly

at the Bellevue.

Luke, make sure he sees you

in the lobby.

Perry, wait for them in the car.

If Dima asks how his family are,

tell him they're safe

even if they're not.

You're there to reassure him.

Ollie, Gail, you're good to go.

to link acoustically

or otherwise commutable signs

to sense-impressions.

Most likely,

all sociable animals

have arrived at this

primitive kind of communication,

at least to a certain degree.

Green to go.

By the end of the week,

we will have our license

and begin trading in London.

To the future of the Arena Bank.

Arena Bank.

To all my friends who have

made this possible...

I say thank you.

We Russians have had

a mixed reputation

in Europe recently.

But...

But for all the disagreements

and suspicions of recent times,

I believe

Russia's economic strength...

furthermore,

the equation E is equal

MC squared,

shows that a very small

amount of mass. ..

may be converted

into a very large

amount of energy.

Quickly. Come on.

Come on,

quick as you can.

Where's your mother?

That's it, get up there.

In you get.

There's no new Cold War.

You have welcomed us

with open arms...

And you will find us

committed partners.

Family secure.

What the f*** do you want,

you sh*t ants?

I'm going for a pee. F*** off!

Dima's heading for the kitchen,

but I can't follow him.

Too many bodyguards.

It's impossible for me

to lead him to Perry.

We need to get him out

before they realise

his family is missing.

Dima. Dima.

Dima, stop. F***ing stop.

Professor.

What the f***

are you doing here?

We have to go.

I've got Dima.

Luke, get the car

to the side entrance.

Are my kids safe?

They're fine.

They're on their way.

Any news?

Well, if you can't give me

the answer,

get me the f***ing minister.

"- Hello, boys!

- Papa!

We're going to London!

- You all right?

- Hey!

- Look at my girls. Wow!

- Yeah, yeah, Dima!

Natasha.

- We did good.

- Good. Well done.

- Thanks.

- Right, let's get going.

Hello?

I can't hear you, Billy.

You'll have to speak up.

I chartered

the plane myself, Billy.

You owe me 6,000.

What?

What is it? What's the matter?

There's been a hold-up,

but there's

nothing to worry about.

Don't you f***ing lie to me.
