The November Man Page #3

- No.

His real name is Simi Denisov.

He was Federov's right-hand man

during the last Chechen conflict.

You know where he is right now?

Yes.

He's here in Belgrade.

How do you know Denisov?

Just people you meet.

- I'm here to see Lebedynko.

- No.

Just tell him

Peter Devereaux's here.

Wait.

- Yeah, let him.

- Come on.

- You look like sh*t.

- Yeah?

Well, you don't

look too good yourself.

Welcome.

I can't believe it, Peter.

- So, why are you here, Peter?

- I want information.

Someone is here in Belgrade

to kill you and it's not me.

I can tell you who it is,

but I want something in return.

OK. You tell me.

I go into your debt.

For old time's sake.

Arkady Federov.

He's killing just about everyone

who was close to him

from your good old days.

Now my information is

that he's gonna try and kill you.

- Me?

- Yeah. So what's his deal?

Why does he want to have

a clean slate now?

What's his game?

Turn around.

You should turn around just now.

Chechnya.

This ugly, dirty, little

godforsaken country.

Oil, however, lots of it.

Filthy Chechen terrorists

didn't want to give it to us.

So... one day,

a building...

...blew up.

Good Russian soldiers

with mommies and daddies

back at home

get sent back in pieces.

And just like that,

Federov got his dirty little war

and Mother Russia got its oil.

- You dropped the building?

- No.

Federov was smart enough to know

that he couldn't handle

an operation like that,

keep it a secret.

- We ran it for you?

- It's to ask how.

All we did was sit back

and watch everybody die.

Would you like some water?

Sorry about the treatment.

If it makes a difference,

I argued against it.

You ran Peter Devereaux from 1998

until his retirement in 2008.

On April 17th of this year,

you went to Lausanne

under the name Sanders

and reactivated him.

- Show me your tits.

- Excuse me?

I assume that's why Weinstein

sent you, isn't it?

It certainly isn't

for your acumen.

- F*** you.

- You like being on top?

Working your way up the ladder?

I like the other guys better.

Where the f*** are the other guys?

- This room is soundproof.

- You don't think I know that?

I approved the use and design

of this facility.

I wrote the manual

you're going by.

I know how long until you

switch operational procedure.

You stupid twat.

You may know the procedure,

but then you also know

that I have the right

to vary the procedure

if I deem it necessary.

Based on the tenor

of this conversation,

I am inclined to vary the procedure.

You know what?

I don't give a f***

about the people I've killed.

If by some stroke of pure luck

you manage to kill me,

then I won't give a f***

about that either.

DEVEREAUX". That was quite a speech.

MASON". You bring out

the best in me.

Not exactly accurate,

that last statement you made.

Keeping him engaged

was an advantage, sir.

Yes, to him.

I don't know

if he's too in your head,

and maybe you're mad because

you never had a daddy,

I don't know,

and frankly I don't care.

He played you for a fool.

- I'll get him.

- Will you?

It doesn't feel that way

from here, son,

from here it feels like you're

busy trying to please him.

What, you still admire the man?

I did.

Well... here's what

he thought of you.

Hey, you. Hey!

How'd you get in here?

All she wants

is to be at your place.

My God, you're

an ungrateful b*tch!

Mommy's gonna turn you

into a handbag.

- OK, then.

- "OK, then?"

What is that?

We've been passing each other

on the stairs for eight weeks.

Who are you anyway?

I mean, sure, you're mildly

attractive and mysterious,

but it gets kind of tired

after a while, you know?

I mean, I don't even

know your name.

David.

Well, I'm Sarah.

Did you ever think that maybe

Mira is better wherever she is?

Your girl witnessed Federov and

a CIA agent conspire to start a war

that killed hundreds

of thousands of people.

So whoever gets to her first

owns Federov.

And believe me...

...someone will find her.

Come on.

What it must be like

to be you.

Take what you want,

do as you please.

What happens if they come back?

We leave.

There you go.

That'll do.

Bottoms up.

What happened in Moscow?

Something...

...unfortunate.

What was her name?

Natalia.

Will killing him

really make it better?

Ah... it's a start.

Why did you save me?

Don't put your faith

in me, Alice.

I promise...

...I'll disappoint you.

Satie.

What did you say?

It means "my favorite"

in Russian.

- You speak Russian.

- Yes.

My parents were

university professors.

They taught me.

I found some clothes

that should fit you.

What if they find Mira

before you do?

Then no one will need you.

Your problems will be over.

- They'll kill her, won't they?

- Yes.

What if no one ever finds her?

No one can hide forever.

I can't bring you with me

where I have to go now.

So I can't protect you anymore.

Go somewhere where no one

can find you. Not even me.

Use only cash,

and wait for this to ring.

Sarah?

Sarah.

Sarah?

- David?

- I'm here.

It's all right.

Everything's gonna be all right.

He won't hurt you.

Understand?

- Let her go.

- "Let her go."

And you? What?

Bullets start bouncing around?

Tell him he needs to listen.

Tell him.

You need to listen.

You know what he's doing,

don't you?

He's trying to decide

what you're worth.

He will not hurt you.

He still hasn't decided.

Ask him.

Ask him if you're worth saving.

Am I worth saving?

He's not answering

your question, is he?!

You need to make him

answer your question!

An] I VV

You are!

You are.

- You like her, huh?

- Yeah.

Time to finish your training.

What the f***

can you teach me?

- You gave up on me, remember?

- What did you want?

I wanted to be better than you!

What does that mean?

To be better than me?

Be better at something, hmm?

- To be a better man?

- Why did you drop me?

Oh, here it comes.

I took the shot. What was I

supposed to do? I had no choice!

- There's always a choice!

- Answer the f***ing question!

You made the wrong choice.

I came here tonight, Mason,

to kill you.

I did not know

what she was to you.

Oh, you thought

this was about Natalia?

No, this is about you.

You can be a human...

or a killer of humans,

but not both.

Eventually, one of those people

will extinguish the other one.

All you have to do now

is just to show me...

...that it's not too late for you.

Come on!

No!

Second chance, Mason.

Scenano...

- No!

- Your target has just severed

the femoral artery of a woman.

- No!

David!

Has just severed the femoral artery

of a woman

you have been intimate with!

- What do you do?

- Let her go!

F***!

Celia, do you want to know

what I did?

I know what you did, Mr. Hanley.

We're discussing why.

No, you don't know

what I did or what I do.

Ergo, how the f*** could you

possibly comprehend why?

- Let's start at the top.

- Look, what do you think

it is we do here at the agency?

- We collect information.
