Hi, Brenda. Is Dima up? / Oh, Tanya. Hi. You are early. / Not really. / coffee / Tanya. Told I'll be on time. / in your office? / yeah, sure. Uh, Brenda / bring you some coffee / Thanks, Brenda. / Don't worry / bring / you all right? / Yeah. / What is it? / is there any chance Tanya / call ahead, tell us when she is on her way, rather than just / sitting / like that when we get up

This is nearly empty. How much / Oh, for goodness sake. / all right. I'm just saying. / Yeah. Sit down. / Matt, I'm so sorry. / Yeah. / the phone like that. I thought he was a friend. / none of / money is concerned. I can't figure out why he would want the damn phone anyway. / So, let's go and see him, talk to him. Get / back / I don't think so, Lilian. / try / Leonid Kedrov / alone / help / you can't. ... The only thing I've got to cling to is that Robin was lying to me. If he tell me that my contract is worthless, then / good chance / worth something after all. / Is there any news on its value? / Lilian, you shouldn't be here at all. / What? / You should be back at home. / But I want to be ... / Oh, yes. ... Hello. How are you? / Matt, I've got some news. Are you free later? / see you at about half twelve at your hotel / that sounds great to me / See you then. / Who's that? / Tatyana. Fingers crossed.

Robin. What a surprise. / Matt, how are you? / I'm well. To what do I owe the pleasure? / I was just wondering how you were doing. / Oh yeah? / I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful / I'm not one to mope around / take your facts. That's my motto. / Yes? / I / peace in mind. / Oh, absolutely. Anyway, I'm going / Scotland for a few days. My usual shoot. / hotel / in Inverness. I wondered if you / care to come / as it were / Oh. That's very kind. / Well? / All right. Why not? I take it we would be talking business too. / Business? / Yeah. I / a bit more information / that contract. Turns out someone else / your people / my new contact thinks it's good. / Really? / Yeah. Isn't that interesting? / Matt, / Robin, I can't talk. Text me the details of that hotel / I'll see you in Inverness. / Tatyana. Dobri den. / Dobrui den. Sorry I'm late. / Not at all. You look / million dollars as usual. Sit down. How has it been going? / so far / valid / get anything out of it? / can't tell yet. Your contract / deliberately / set up / very confusing indeed. / anything / I am getting a copy of / day, maybe two / know is that I am getting a copy of the forensic report / Forensic report? / of the B___ murder / when I / I might be able to find out if there really is any connection between your deal and his murder.

So? / So, Leonid, / Is he coming with you? To a Scotish shoot? / He agreed. Yes. / Good. / can't you? / any of this / my responsibility / see / more your area. And, anyway, if you had kept / under control, none of / in the first place / rather / foot in the door, a proof from B___'s phone / You ordered that, Robin. / No need to get worked up. / And, anyway, I've got the phone back. That secretary was getting in the way. I had to deal with her / need / I don't want to know. Anyway / B___ / turned up again, hasn't he? / wit to download anything of importance from the phone / Again, how can you possibly know that? So, the thing is, I feel Mr. Crawford is your problem. It's not for me / entirely up to you how you deal with it.

Now I like it there / In / what's it called / Ambridge. I've a good life there / good, if you / me. / I do. / Matt. / Lilian. / I wondered what you were doing for lunch. ... Tatyama. / Lilian. You look great. / You all right, Matt? / Fine. / looking / a little flushed / Look, I'll be off. I'll call you, Matt, when I have more news. / Yeah, thank you. ... Bye, then. / Bye. ... See you soon, Lilian. / Well?

So, where are you going? / meeting / shareholders, brokers. I can't be late. If it goes well, I'll be able to complete in a couple of weeks / I know everything, Dima. / Of course you do, Kroshka. / I know / with the development / creeping tender / about / using Matt. / What exactly do you know? / I heard it all. I picked up the kitchen extension and heard you talking. / Dima, I have to ask you. Is it you? Is it you pushing those poor people off their land? Is it you threatening Matt?

don't get me wrong. I appreciate the work you do very much. But I think you agreed to me / provide the presentation. The public ___. So, I'll find out / full extent / what Crowford knows up in Scotland, and, then you can deal with him when I get back. Agreed? / You have been relying on me too much, my friend. / What? / It's time for you to do some work of your own. / Oh no no no no no, look ... / I insist. / Listen to me, I ... / Shhh. Robin, Robin, you need to make it up to me. / Leonid, I have ... / I have every confidence in you. After all, accidents can happen in / shoots, can't they?

Don't you see? If I / those people / be fairly treated, re-housed properly / good price paid for their land / I thought / myself, remember? I visited with you and Matt, met them. That's when I made up my mind / make? ... Why can't you answer me? It's why you wanted to be with me / win / Matt's confidence / contract mean something to you, too. Have you been using me to get to it? / Kroshka ... / Tell me it's not true.

The Teddy Bear, that messed-up bed, and now / trip to Scotland / been stupid / why can't you admit it? / coming from you / that tells me everything I need to know. / does it, really? / Matt / over Paul / Even now you really don't get it, do you? Look, if I play my cards right, Robin might even buy my contract, give me back what I put in. I / go on / yes, home, at long, long last. / make some sort of sense, Matt, / if I believe / waiting for you there / You know what, Lilian? I don't care any more. Do what you like, think what you like, believe what you like. ... I'd like you to leave.

No no no no no no. Don't you see? that's what I love about you. You are not poluted by all this. Don't let the money get in our way. Please. This is me. Us. / Dima, let go of me. / No. / So, Nicolai B___ / What about him? / Nothing. ... I've made you late. / that doesn't matter. You are more important than anything else. / Honestly, you should go. Go on. / Everything will be fine. You'll see. / Hello. Brenda? / Lilian, can I come stay with you in your hotel?

Better? / Oh, that's / darling, let me get this straight. You are telling me that super-wealthy loved-up Dima wanted you in order to get Matt's investment? / Well, yes. / That's ridiculous. / when you put it like that / absurd. ... look at the two of us. / What do you mean? Is Matt OK? / I don't know. I've lost him, Brenda. / He's going away with her. Tatyana. / Tanya ___? Lilian ... / Brenda, it's not funny. / It's not true either. Oh, oh, oh, Lilian. / How can you possibly know? / Look, with all respect to Matt, she's way out of his league. What made you think that? / really / met anyone like him before. / how / messed-up bed, the Teddy bear, the clothes / around his room? / that happened to you here in London? / Yes. Why? what's the matter? / Didn't Matt tell you? / Tell me what? / All right. Um, the same thing happened to us in St. Petersburg. / your hotel room / horrible. It was a warning. / What do you mean? / to scare Matt, to warn him off. / To wa ... my god. That's why he / He never said. / He never told you about the murder either / What? What murder? What are you talking about? / Nicolai B___. / The man Vitaly was buying / turned / Matt asked me not to tell you. He didn't want you to be scared. / He's been protecting me. ... I didn't realize. / Yeah. / I had his phone in my hotel room. / You what? / That phone. B___'s smartphone. Matt asked me to keep it safe in my hotel room / I was careless. I allowed it to be stolen / Oh my God, Lilian. / terrible danger all this time / I didn't know. / I've got to do something to help him. / Like what? / there must be something / so much worth for him. ... Oh, poor Matt. I've got to make it up to him. I'll get the phone back for him. / No, Lilian, please, stop and think. It's too dangerous. / but, don't you see? It's the least I can do. I lost it, Brenda. I can get it back.
