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.

Thanks, Ollie.

Our source wants

to prove his worth.

He's told us

that the Prince is in London

to meet a prominent

British politician.

Who the hell's Bushmaster?

A bushmaster

is a breed of snake, Billy.

Evening, sir.

Our former boss.

Current MP for lslington North

and head of

the parliamentary subcommittee

for trade and finance,

Aubrey Longrigg-

I can see who it is.

- Aubrey.

- Hello.

- What a pleasure.

- How are you?

Nice to see you again, Emilio.

My colleague, Mr Petrov.

Mr Petrov, at last.

- Are you a Tvarat fan?

- An Arsenal fan.

An Arsenal fan'?

You can't condemn a man for

going to a football match.

Not even if he's here to meet

the head of the Russian mafia?

So far it's nothing more

than a coincidence.

Well, according to our source,

the Prince is offering Longrigg

a substantial sum of money.

For what?

Two days ago

the Arena Bank of Cyprus,

a subsidiary of Petrov's empire,

filed an application

to establish

a trading bank in the city.

The purpose of this bank?

To launder billions of dollars

of Russian mafia money

here in London.

What does that have to do

with Longrigg?

The application was backed

by a distinguished list

of British politicians,

lawyers and bankers,

all recruited

by our friend Aubrey.

The game's

about to start. We should find our seats.

Watch Movies and Series!

Is that it?

For now.

I'm not getting involved

in your personal vendetta

with Longrigg.

It's more than my job's worth.

There's nothing personal

about it.

The man's a traitor.

He was corrupt

when he was in the service

and he's corrupt now.

He's working for

the Russian mafia,

and so are dozens

of the most powerful bankers

and politicians in this country.

You've no proof.

Let me make the source an offer

and I'll get you the proof.

Never before

have we had an informant

this high up

in Russian organised crime.

You won't get another

opportunity like this, Billy.

What does he want?

Asylum for himself

and his family.

That's out of the question.

The last thing

the Foreign Office needs

is another row with Russia,

and the Home Office doesn't

offer asylum to criminals.

These men are betraying

their country, Billy.

I'm sorry, Hector,

I'm not going after Longrigg

or anybody else

based on some

Russian mobsters word.

I don't like the c*nt

any more than you do.

But I'm protecting you

from yourself.

This stops now.

What did Matlock say?

He said we're on.

Under the brown fog

of a winter dawn,

"a crowd flowed

over London Bridge,

"so

"I had not thought death

had undone so many,

"sighs, short and infrequent,

were exhaled,

"and each man fixed his eyes

before his feet."

You see, Eliot is borrowing
