Max!

Who’s the American?

He’s a friend.

The man from Shipley’s.

Who you tried to have beaten up.

I ask again, who is he?

We met in Riyadh last June

at the American Embassy.

Good with fists for a diplomat.

Paranoia’s your department,

Andrei.

He seems nice.

I invited him to the dinner.

Max?

He’s visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum.

You just sent him off?

I promised him I’d go with him.

I explained you were busy.

With your friend.

Hey, easy, fella.

Where I’m from, you buy me dinner first.

Mr. Sator.

Don’t bother.

Just tell me if you’ve slept with my wife yet.

Uh.

No.

Not yet.

How would you like to die?

Old.

You chose the wrong profession.

There’s a walled garden up the road.

We are going to take you there, cut your throat.

Not across.

In the middle, like a hole.

Then we take your balls

and we stuff them in the cut,

block the windpipe.

Complex.

It’s very gratifying to watch a man you don’t like

try to pull his own balls out

of his throat before he chokes.

Is this how you treat all your guests?

We’re finished.

Do you like opera?

Well?

Not here.

You sail?

I’ve messed around on boats.

Be on the dock at 8:00 ready to

do more than mess around.

8:00 a.m.

Max has missed too much school this year.

I’m taking him back to England.

The school won’t be okay with

him missing so much of the term.

Yes, they will.

Can I finish?

You have all the trappings of a king.

We both know you’re a grubby

little man playing power games

with a wife who doesn’t love you anymore.

You seem spirited today.

Do I?

Yes, you do.

Were you worried it had been destroyed?

Rest assured, instinct told me

to remove it from the vault.

I’ve always had instincts about the future.

That’s how I built this life

you no longer value.

Sailing or diving?

Rising!

What do you know about opera?

In 2008, a remote Russian missile station

was overwhelmed and held for a week.

When the station was retaken,

241 on one warhead was three

quarters of a kilo lighter.

The missing 241surfaced at the opera house

siege in Kiev on the 14th.

Coming about!

Partnership.

I wouldn’t partner with you.

You can take care of yourself.

You have no record.

Someone in the arms trade,

with training,

who knows how to cover his tracks.

Not that shocking.

For an intelligence agent.

Right!

Burn in hell, Andrei.

You can’t jibe a boat like this!

You can if you have to.

Kat.

Why didn’t you let him drown?

I need him.

What, to sell guns?

I’m not who you think I am.

Well, that I know.

He showed me the drawing.

I’m sorry.

I had to get close to him.

I don’t know what you think

your husband does.

Oh, we both know he’s an arms dealer.

He’s so much more.

What, then?

Andrei Sator holds all of our lives in his hands, not just yours.

Mr. Sator wants to see you.

Okay.

Now.

Uh, he wants to see me without pants?

Trust me.

Save it.

I’m not falling for it twice.

You have a better option?

Whatever it takes

to get what you want.

Not a second’s thought

for me or my son.

What do you think he’s gonna do to me now?

Try not to use it.

On anyone.

Enough.

See?

Pulse of a man half my age.

Drink with me.

It seems I now owe you my life.

It’s nothing.

My life is not nothing.

And I don’t like to be in debt.

Then pay me.

No retribution against your wife.

You think she released my harness?

It was my own mistake.

Then help me steal the 241.

I need resources.

It’s weapons-grade plutonium.

That means special handling,

containment facilities.

I know what it means.

You lecture me about radiation?

Andrei Sator,

digging plutonium from the

rubble of my city as a teenager.

Where?

Stalsk-12.

My home.

One part of a warhead exploded at

ground level, scattering the others.

They needed people

to find the plutonium.

It became my first contract.

Nobody else even bid.

They thought it was a death sentence.

But.

one man’s probability of death.

is another man’s possibility for a life.

I staked my claim in the new Russia.

Even now, my company is the only

one to operate in the ruins.

The 241 is being transported through northern Europe,

on its way to the long-term

nuclear storage depot in Trieste.

I’m told you have resources in Tallinn.

Stay with us tonight.

I insist.
