Maria Alekseevna stands by the gas stove, a frying pan placed on one of the rings. Scooping batter, Maria Alekseevna pours it into the pan and tips it around from side to side.
INTERCUT
Angela is seated at the head of the dining table with MacBride on her right and Pavel on her left.
Maria Alekseevna walks in and puts a plate with a pile of blini before them.
They reach out to the plate, taking pancakes.
PAVEL
(to Angela)
I heard you’re acquainted with Kazimir?
ANGELA
Yes.
PAVEL
Is he the one known as Kazimir Stankevitch? The one who owns the aluminium syndicate SurLa?
ANGELA
How come you’re so well-informed about different Kazimirs?
PAVEL
I work for the Special Police Unit.
ANGELA
Does it offer you the privilege of knowing Kazimirs and their businesses?
PAVEL
Sort of. We sometimes have to deal with his stuff.
ANGELA
His stuff sounds most intriguing.
PAVEL
He’s a frequent customer of the 911 Club.
ANGELA
Are you a frequent customer of the Club too?
PAVEL
I don’t have the budget. We sometimes do raids on the Club.
ANGELA
Must be a very exciting job.
PAVEL
You’ve mentioned that Kazimir drives in a Benz S500.
ANGELA
So?
PAVEL
It might be the same Benz that tailed Mac.
ANGELA
I doubt it.
PAVEL
What makes you sure?
ANGELA
I don’t think Kazimir would personally tail anyone.
PAVEL
And what if he would?
ANGELA
He deals with far more important things.
PAVEL
Like laundering money?
ANGELA
He might.
PAVEL
The information we’ve gathered suggests that Kazimir Stankevitch uses clubs to launder his money.
ANGELA
Interesting point.
PAVEL
So, something rings a bell?
ANGELA
What rings a bell is that perhaps you’re right about laundering money.
PAVEL
But?
ANGELA
But what?
PAVEL
You tell us.
ANGELA
Tell you what?
PAVEL
Is Kazimir your lover?
ANGELA
What are you getting at?
PAVEL
I’m not getting at anything, just asking.
Maria Alekseevna starts clearing their plates from the table.
Pavel stands up and lends her a hand.
A stack of plates balanced in his arms, he carries the dishes out of the room.
Maria Alekseevna takes a porcelain tea set out and puts it on the table.
MacBride reaches out and picks up a cup from the set. Turning it over, he looks at the feature of a flower sprig depicted on the cup.
Maria Alekseevna gives him a stern stare, takes the cup from him and puts it back onto the table.
Pavel enters the room and sits down at the table.
PAVEL
(to Angela)
Perhaps, we can help you figure out who shot at you.
MacBride reaches out for the cup again. Maria Alekseevna slaps his hand.
PAVEL (CONT’D)
(to Angela)
Let’s go over things you know and see if there’s a pattern.
MacBride turns his attention from the cup to the conversation.
MACBRIDE (CONT’D)
(to Pavel and Angela)
Why don’t we start with various players?
PAVEL
Players?
MACBRIDE
Like in a game.
ANGELA
I’m СКАЧАТЬ
