Our Kind of Traitor Page #3

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.

to be like they were before.

I want things to be better.

Well, then why did

we spend our last night

with a bunch of strangers?

Well, you haven't exactly

been available yourself.

F*** off.

Next, please.

- Good afternoon, sir.

- Hello.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Next, please.

There's some problem

with my passport.

You should go on.

- You all right?

- I'll catch up.

Yeah.

Excuse me. Can you tell me

how much longer

this is going to take?

Because I've been waiting

for two hours.

I'm afraid that's my fault,

Mrs McKendrick.

If you'd like to follow me.

I said I didn't want

my wife involved.

I'm sorry. Would you like her

to wait outside?

Involved in what?

I brought something over

for Dima.

What?

I don't know.

Perhaps you'd like to sit down.

I have some questions.

Not tough. Medium soft.

Is this all he gave you?

- Yeah.

- Didn't offer you any money?

He did, but I refused.

Then why did you bring it?

I thought

it was the right thing to do.

He said that his children

would be killed if I didn't.

You believed him?

He seemed scared.

He told you he was a member

of the Russian mafia.

And you still agreed

to help him.

You haven't checked the contents

of the memory stick?

No, no, I thought I could just hand it over

and be done with it.

I thought that would be it,

you know.

Why do you think he chose you?

I think he just took a punt.

We may need to

speak to you again

after we've checked

the memory stick.

In the meantime,

we'll need all your details.

And we'll need you to sign this.

Thanks.

I couldn't say no to him.

And why not?

I thought I could

keep you out of it.

Everything has consequences,

Perry.

You f*** one of your students,

there are consequences.

You run errands for

a Russian mobster, same thing.

Look, I'm sorry

about everything.

No sign

of anyone following them.

Did you have time

to wade through

the material

we bunged at you, Billy,

or did it interfere

with your golf'?

I can't stand f***ing football.

We're not going to the match.

- Who authorised this?

- You did.

Target headed

for the Diamond Suite.

Why am I here?

We've had some intelligence

from a potential source,

the principal money launderer

for the Russian mafia.

Why didn't you

mention this before?

Because you wouldn't have come.

- Champagne?

- No, thank you.

The man

in the dark suit

is Nicolas Petrov, the Prince,

a highly successful

and legitimate businessman,

as far as the world's concerned.

He's taken over

the Russian crime syndicate

since his father died.

Man next to him

is his consigliere,

Emilio Del Oro.

The Russian mafia

has nothing to do with us.

Patience, Billy.

Bushmaster's here.
