MACBRIDE
(into the phone)
I… was in a club. I met some girls…
PAVEL (V.O.)
You… fucking shit!
MACBRIDE
(into the phone)
Yeah, whatever, just get over here.
MacBride jabs the phone off. Staring at the mess around him, he catches a sight of a white envelope. He picks it up and tears it open.
A single typed note and a bunch of keys fall out.
MacBride reads the note.
INSERT —
Dear Juan,
Take the keys. Go to my flat and wait for me there.
Angela
The DOORBELL rings.
INT. MACBRIDE’S FLAT/HALLWAY (MOSCOW) – DAY
MacBride undoes the lock and pushes the door open.
Pavel, holding a large grocery bag in his arms, steps back, as the door swings by.
PAVEL
Hey, I’ll need to fix you a Russian cure for that hangover!
INTERCUT
Pavel goes to the coffee table. Clearing the empty beer cans and dirty plates off it, he puts his grocery bag down and starts unpacking it.
INSERT —
a big jar of pickles, a bottle of vodka, and a Stolichnaya sausage.
BACK TO SCENE
MacBride sits down on the sofa. The note still in his hand, he glances at it then pushes it toward Pavel.
MACBRIDE
I had a note delivered to me.
Taking his coat off, Pavel joins MacBride on the sofa.
PAVEL (CONT’D)
(reading the note)
So, they want you to go to her flat and wait?
MACBRIDE
Looks like it.
PAVEL
Looks more like bullshit to me.
MACBRIDE
If this looks like bullshit to you then why would they want me to go there?
PAVEL
No idea, man.

EXT. ANGELA’S HOUSE (MOSCOW) – THREE DAYS LATER – DAY
Cleared off slush, the stairs of the entrance glisten in the sun.
The silver Bentley pulls up. Angela steps out and heads into the building.
The driver follows her, carrying the two bouquets, pink tulips one and red roses one, and a brown leather overnight bag.
INT. ANGELA’S HOUSE/7TH FLOOR (MOSCOW) – DAY
Angela comes to the door with the “7B” set in brass in the wood panelling and rings the DOORBELL.
The lock CLICKS and the door opens.
MARIA ALEKSEEVNA, a stern looking woman, aged 60, in horn-rimmed old-fashioned spectacles, wearing a red apron, streaked with flour, over the dark blue woollen dress, opens the door.
Angela glances at the apron and smiles.
ANGELA
Zdrastvuite, Maria Alekseevna.
Maria Alekseevna brushes the flour streaks off her apron.
MARIA ALEKSEEVNA (CONT’D)
Zdravstvui, Angela. Welcome back.
INT. ANGELA’S FLAT/HALLWAY (MOSCOW) – DAY
Angela heads along the hallway into one of the rooms.
The driver hands the two bouquets and the overnight bag to Maria Alekseevna and leaves.
EXT. ANGELA’S HOUSE/sTAIRS (MOSCOW) – DAY – LATER
MacBride and Pavel walk up the stairs, heading into the building.
INT. ANGELA’S HOUSE/7TH FLOOR (MOSCOW) – DAY
At the door to the flat “7B”, MacBride and Pavel share a hesitant look. Pavel brings his head to the door and listens then nods to MacBride. MacBride takes the key out and slides it into the lock. It CLICKS.
The door opens.
INT. ANGELA’S FLAT/HALLWAY (MOSCOW) – DAY
Silhouetted in the doorframe, Maria Alekseevna, hands on hips, stands.
MARIA ALEKSEEVNA
Who the hell are you?
MACBRIDE
I… we’re friends of Angela.
Blocking the way, Maria Alekseevna looks MacBride and Pavel over.
MARIA ALEKSEEVNA (CONT’D)
I see.
MacBride turns to Pavel.
MACBRIDE (CONT’D)
Pavel, tell her!
INT. ANGELA’S FLAT/LIVING ROOM (MOSCOW) – DAY
Sunshine streams in through the large windows, playing on the rows of book spines in the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
In the middle of the room, facing the windows, a French style sofa, upholstered in linen, stands. On a glass coffee table, a vase with pink tulips is placed.
Angela sits on the sofa, looking at the screen of her laptop. On the screen stock exchange graphs and figures are displayed.
