of a large charitable organization.

Irina was engaged

in a similar activity,

and we decided

to fundraise together.

We made a good team, and we

worked together tirelessly.

Day and night, actually,

raising money for the orphans.

[exhales]

[Harry] We persuaded people to

make some very generous donations.

But sadly, she was

rather difficult to work with.

After Monte Carlo, I didn't plan

on seeing her again, and I didn't.

Until Istanbul.

[tanbur music playing]

I had no idea she'd be there.

I was taken

completely by surprise.

[man] Well, you didn't

seem too upset to see her.

Not from where I was sitting.

[Harry] I had no clue

they were setting you up.

Oi!

[man]

I went to jail for three months.

Harry!

You utter tart.

She's not after you

solely for the cash.

She's pursuing you

with romantic intent.

I don't know. It's possible.

What's the difference, anyway?

- Well, I'll tell you, my sweet.

- Hmm.

It's called "taking one

for the team," remember?

- Well, it's your turn, now.

- Oh, no. It's not possible.

- And why not?

- I couldn't guarantee your safety.

She can't bear

that I married you.

She wants you dead.

Eh?

Mmm. That's why

we've got to pay her back

and stay

the f*** away from her.

Forty f***in' grand

ain't gonna get us far, is it?

- It's a start.

- It's a drop in the ocean.

Oh, yes. Of course.

- [man] What?

- [Harry laughs]

Yes. Yes, yes.

- What, what?

- Time to visit that b*tch you married.

You do realize I still owe her for bailing

me out of that jail you landed me in.

Not to mention the ten grand

I borrowed last time I saw her.

She won't remember that.

I mean, this time

it could be an emergency.

You could need a new kidney.

How much do those go for?

Maybe it's heart surgery

or a brain tumor.

[man] There she is. The whore of Basildon.

Jackie f***in' Harlow.

When I married her, she was

Tiffany Wheeler from Essex.

Actress/chatroom whore.

You were an idiot to marry her

in the first place.

I was off my tits.

It was the longest

three days of my life.

Eventually, she abandoned me in

some nightmare called Tenerife.

Darling, I'm going to

get my nails done.

- [Harry] Is that the husband?

- [man] F***in' weirdo film director.

- [Harry] Successful?

- [man] Very.

Hans?

There's dog poo everywhere,

and I don't want the gardener

to have to clean it up.

- Can you do it? One, two, three.

- [Harry chuckling]

Oh, dear, bless.

[Harry] We need to call her,

arrange a meeting. Lunch, dinner.

- Get us invited to the house.

- "Us"? Don't you mean me?

- She f***in' hates you.

- What? She's never even met me.

Fine, you call her.

[man] Well, the last

time I called her,
