Thank you for downloading The Archers podcast. This is Tuesday's episode of Ambridge Extra, first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 extra.

Just be careful, Lilian. / shhhh / Hello. / Leonid. How are you? It's Lilian, Lilian Bellamy. / Yes? / I've been thinking, we never did go out for this cocktail __ you promised me. / And what does Matt think of that idea? / Matt? / may as well tell you. Soon after we last saw you ... well, very soon, actually, things went downhill between us. / Did they? / We went back to my room, and he just picked a fight with me. I think that ... well, to be honest, I found out that he's seeing someone else. I'm so bored and lonely, and I ... I'd love some company. ... Leonid? / What about dinner? Tonight? I'll give you a shoulder to cry on. / Really? Oh, darling, that would be lovely. / We'll go somewhere nice. You get yourself ready. I'll pick you up in half an hour. / Lovely. I'll see you soon then. / Yack. / Are you sure you know what you are doing? / I'm gonna get that phone back, Brenda. / No. Don't. / The important thing is for Matt to know I'm on his side. He can rely on me.

Na zdarovie. / Quite. / So, come on, Robin, it's been a good ___ so far, but isn't it time to get to the point? Why did you ask me up here? / Well, I thought you might enjoy it. As simple as that. / Really? So, nothing at all to do with my contract, the one you said is worthless? / Well, funnily enough, I did have a chat / about / I bet you did. I'm hoping you might, uh, have a bit of interest in it. / Are you? / Oh yeah. You see, my lawyers say you made a mistake there, ___ ___ you are involved. / Involved? / Tell me, what made you get into bed with these kind of people? / Sorry, what do you mean? / I would have thought, with your background / something a bit more / a bit more conventional / All of my business dealings are entirely above b___. / All right, all right / I'm just saying / these guys are more ... well, more in my arena, don't you think? / Your arena? / come on, don't pretend you haven't looked me up. / you know I've been in jail. And, I won't pretend it was a good experience, but, uh, I ___ some contact, shall we say. / useful if you are in a tight corner. / I see. / In fact, / ask / to do me a favour recently. / domestic situation came up / have a business of your own? Huh? Is that why you help out with, uh, what's it called ... Amside? / Oh, Robin, Robin, we both know it's useful to have a little company to put some cash through now and again, eh? / helps to mix things up a bit, ___n't it?

Lilian, please, don't go. / Will you do me up, darling? ... Is it, um, is it creased at the back? / No. ... How can you be so calm? / My mind is made up. Poor Matt is up in Scotland with that ___ ___ ___ Robin, and the only thing that I can do for him is to get that wreched phone back from Leonid. Matt and I made a great team once, Brenda. And I'll show him that we can again. ... Now, how do I look?

Well, how should I know? He sounded pretty confident, Leonid. / Never mind him. Are you saying you've heard nothing? Nothing at all? / No. / St. Petes brokers are very nervous. When there is a rumor like this one, share prices start to go up. / Are you sure? / I know what a hostile takeover looks like. / It's Crawford. / Crawford? / He just told me he uses his girlfriend's company to launder his own deals. / Did he? So, that means his girlfriend knows everything. What's that bitch up to?

Thank you for coming down. / Hello, Tanya. How's Dima? / He is ... bad. / What do you mean? / Well, not eating, not sleeping. / Oh. / He is lost without you. / Did he ask you to come? / He loves you so much. He is so happy when he is with you. Please, Brenda. Talk to him. / Are you here representing him as head of the family? / Brenda ... / to fix it / all out as usual. ... If he wants to talk to me, be honest with me, why isn't he here himself?

Sorry about that. / That was business partner, was it? / What? / Well, either that or a woman at this time of night. By the look of you, I'm guessing it was business. Am I right? / Let's talk about your business partner. / Vitaly Kedrov? / Lilian Bellamy. / What about her? / I believe the late Mr. B___ had a smartphone with some useful information on it. / Did he? / but / tells me that the phone / which confirmed the validity of your contract / gone missing. Rather devalues your bit of paper, don't you think? / Well, I'm not too sure what the B___'s phone might show, Robin, but, I'm getting a copy of the forensic report on his murder / shortly / which might clear things up. / yeah. It was a bit expensive, true, but / worth, in my opinion / informed / look, uh, we / got an early start tomorrow, and / I / drink. In the morning, perhaps you could get to the point, and make me an offer, and, if it's good enough, I'll back away from ___ ___ ___. Anyway, I'm off to bed.

You are a beautiful woman, Lilian. / Thank you. / Loyalty counts with me, but clearly not to Crawford. What a fool. / Well ... / I've got some emeralds in my safe. It would suit that dress you are wearing. / Good heavens. That must be quite a safe. / It contains everything of real importance to me. / Everything? Everything of importance? ... Surely that's impossible. / The bank has the gold, the pictures, the ___, ... but the pretty things, the things that I like to lay my hands on, I keep at home. / I'd, uh, love to see your house, Leonid. / Why don't you come over tomorrow for lunch?

Listen to yourself. Don't you ever tire of it? / Of what? / Of never being honest with anyone. I don't know who either of you are anymore. Dima lied to me again and again. / OK,  / And, actually, I don't want to know / kind of world you live in, the kind of / you think is normal / I'm so sorry / you feel this way. All I can tell you is that he really loves you. / Look, I've had an amazing time with him. It's been like a dream. / So ... / Would you put up with it? Would you be happy if your partner trusted his system more than you? You should have more faith / I would have loved / anyway.

I'm telling you, Crawford threatened me with blackmail. He says he's got proof about / B___ / him / proceeding with the hostile takeover. He wants me to buy him off. / All right, all right. Listen, stay calm. / Stay calm? / sort this / I've got his girlfriend coming down tomorrow. / What? You what? / If I have to, I can play my cards / what I say / you've got to deal with him, now. / Me? Why? / what have I got to do / we've been through this, Robin. I'm here, you are there. On the spot. You are perfectly / do it tomorrow. / No. Niet. / I won't be happy if you let me down. Now, good night.

Morning to you. / How are you? / Yeah, fine. / Ready? / Absolutely. / 'll see you after the first drive.

miss one / Yes. You've already done / there, didn't you? / Yeah, I think so. ... Ah, ___ ___ wonderful, innit? / Yeah / always easier to think / don't you agree? Perfect place to make the right decision. / I'm glad you think so. / Should be here somewhere. / You, uh, you need to go just a little farther, I think. / Ah. Here it is. They are not ___. That's good. ... So, come on, get a move on, C__, / start / Time to call it off, Matt. / Call off what? / The hostile takeover. / The what? / I want you to call off your hostile takeover __ the St. Petersburg development, now. Right now, in fact, ring your broker, there's a good chap. / Sorry, I / talking / your usual nonesense and get on with it, shall we? / You are out of your tiny mind. / Listen. It's over. You've had a good run and got / nose / nearly / a lot / take my hat off to you / can't win. You see? / at least not today. / You shouldn't point guns at people. / Phone your broker, Crawford. Call it off. / Ah. Ha. That's my broker now. / All right. Good. / Matt. Hi. Can you talk? / Yeah. I'm, uh ... I'm glad to hear from you. / Ah, thank god you picked up. Listen. Your contract, it's not only valid, it adds up to / whole development. 8%. / let anyone take it from you. It's worth a fortune. / Right. / But listen. Leonid Kedrov and Robin C(カーライル?)___ are pursuing the rest of the land. They work together. / Ah. / They want all of it, Matt. / They killed B___ for it. You've got to stay out of their way. ... Matt? Matt, are you there? / Yeah. Thanks for that. Um ... listen, I'd like you to halt the takeover. I've changed my mind. / Matt? What's happening? / Yeah, that's right. Complete withdrawal. / Are you in trouble / is it C___? / Yeah, yeah, that's it. / Stay calm and listen very closely. / That's fine. / OK. I'll send a / your hotel right now. It will take you / Inverness airport, where a ticket will be waiting. Don't check out of your hotel / your c___ / just get in the car and drive away. Do you understand? ... Matt? Can you hear me? / Yeah, yeah, I can do that. That's fine. So, you sort that out for me? / Good luck. / Bye then. / Good. / I'm going to rejoin the shooting party now. / I have to / you are telling the truth because Lilian Bellamy is arriving at Kedrov ___'s mansion about now. If you are lying ... do you hear me, Crawford? You'd better be telling the truth.
