Our Kind of Traitor Page #2

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.

It was made in New York.

Tanya! When did you come in?

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

You can meet Andrei.

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

So how old are you today?

Eighteen,

but my father still thinks

I'm a little girl.

- Girls.

- Hey, hello.

You look amazing.

I'll get a drink.

Do you want one?

Yeah.

I'll have a glass of champagne.

Right.

It's a great party.

No, no, no, it's fine.

Okay. One...

Two, three...

- Four...

- Do we just help ourselves?

Five, six, seven...

- Eight, nine...

- Hi, Perry. How are you?

Hello. I'm good.

Nice to see you.

Ten!

it's a lovely party.

- Let me press it.

- No, no, no.

Fire!

{fireworks exploding)

Dima.

You know what the Vory is,

Professor?

No.

It's like mafia but with honour.

I control accounts for the Vory

because I'm good with money,

I'm very good.

I had a friend, Misha,

who worked for me.

When the Vory

became international,

they sent us to Europe.

We washed money,

make everyone rich.

But that was

under the old prince.

He was a man of honour.

He was like Misha, like me.

But now his son, the new prince,

he's a traitor of traitors.

He sold out the Vory

to the state,

made a deal with the Kremlin.

When the mafia

cleans up its act,

it becomes legitimate

and everybody makes money

with each other.

I'm not sure why

you're telling me this, Dima.

Do you like

these two little girls,

Katya and Irina?

- The twins.

- Yeah, of course.

Do you want to know

how their parents died?

The new prince invited Misha,

his wife and their eldest daughter

to Moscow, made him sign over

the accounts that he controlled

and then had them killed.

I'm like Misha.

I'm a threat to the Prince.

I'm a threat to Kremlin.

I know where the money

comes from.

They will kill me.

They will kill my family too

if you don't help me,

Help you? What can I do?

When you go back to London,

give this to your MIG.

At the airport

you tell them you have a gift

from the number one

money launderer

from the Russian mafia.

Tell who? Dima,

you've gut the wrong guy.

I have no one else.

All these f***ers, the lawyers,

the bankers and bodyguards,

they all work for the Prince.

They watch me all the time.

They listen to my phone calls.

I have no one else.

Watch Movies and Series!

You have

good time tonight?

Fabulous.

Look, we can walk from here.

Thanks for the lift.

Gail!

Go on, then.

Where did you disappear

with that girl?

I saw you going into

the villa with her.

- I was talking with Dima.

- What about?

He was showing me

round his house.

I'm not an idiot, Perry.

Come on, Gail.

Nothing happened.

You were the one who wanted

to come on this trip.

Yeah, 'cause I want things
