KONSTANTIN: Eve - she is alive.
It's not possible.

Poor Kenny.

I can't let people know
I'm looking into things.

EVE: I have Kenny's phone.

We just guessed it was you.
What?!

VILLANELLE: They are making me
a Keeper.

They want you to work
WITH somebody first.

(HONKS BICYCLE HORN)
BOTH: Bonjour!

DASHA: Management is not easy.

It's watching someone
do job worse than you.

I deserve more - more than you.



JAMIE: What was Kenny working on
before he died?

EVE: There's a thumb drive.
The police have it.

I need to know what happened -

who killed him.

CAROLYN: And what about
the coroner's report?

There's no signs of a struggle.

No evidence of asphyxiation
or internal injury.

Basically, he was absolutely fine
until he...

..hit the ground.
May I?

So...

..the head of the MPS
is still saying it's suicide,

despite the lack of note
or motivation.

That is reassuring.

It'd be really unsettling
if he actually got something right.

EVE: Geraldine said
I could come straight in...

Oh.

Wow!

Oh, get over it, Eve.

I have all my best thoughts
in the bath.

If Mo can manage, you can.

I haven't looked up in 10 minutes.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Did you get Kenny's thumb drive back
from the police?

At quite a cost, yes.
I'd rather not know.

Oh, I'll... I'll meet you downstairs.
JAMIE: Oh!

Who's that?

Our Bitter Pill representative.

I invited him.

Before I knew this meeting
was in a bathroom.

(EVE CLOSES DOOR)
(RATTLES ICE)

Mo, would you just pass me a towel?

So, we have the burner phone
and the thumb drive.

What else do we have to go on?

Excellent. Good meeting.

Meetings have biscuits.

You can have a biscuit when you
tell me what the point of you is.

Planning on analysing those
yourself, then, are you?

I think the world's foremost
intelligence agency MIGHT handle it.

What, that public school,
what-ho-ing, old boy's network?

I don't think a beer fridge
and a beanbag breakout area

gives you any great insight
into global politics.

That's...
Enough, OK? Enough!

Carolyn, you and Mo take the phone,
we'll take the...

..thumb thingy.

'Cause you know what we do
from now on? We share.

GERALDINE: Wow.

That is literally the most parenting
this household has ever seen.

(BABY GRIZZLES)

DASHA: So, you thought
this was good idea?

I'm practising my characters,
like you told me.

Young mother and baby... and Grandma.

What got into you? You have been
unfocused and manic for days.

I'm just having some fun.

(BABY CRIES)

Stop that. I don't like it.

(GRIZZLES)

You would think,
after your last managerial disaster,

you would learn
to keep your head down.

It is not my fault he was an idiot.

I keep telling them to look harder
for good recruits.

But what can you do?

(THUD)
Eh...

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)
You think that's funny?!

(GASPS AND LAUGHS)

I'll show you what's funny.

You come with me,
because I've had enough.

(BABY CRIES)

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Now, that is funny. (LAUGHS)

You want to amuse yourself,
go crazy.

But I will not have you
put both of our futures at risk.

I'm the one doing all the work.
You think handling you isn't work?

Why you think no-one else
is prepared to do it?

(BABY CRIES)
Bad pension scheme?

You should get your act together.
You know? Jobs will get tougher.

And they will not let you
get away with being sloppy.

Sloppy? Hmm...

(BABY CRIES)

No.

"No"? What do you mean, "No"?
It's too soon.

I have to prepare.

I'm not ready. How about that?
(SIREN WAILS)

Not ready for London?

All you need is anorak
and face like cheese.

(DISTRESSED SHOUTING IN SPANISH)

You're right.

You're right. I know what I'm doing.

I can handle this.

(DISTRESSED SHOUTING
IN SPANISH CONTINUES)

(BABY CRIES)

This is bank stuff.

Financial data.

Oh, he said something
about accounts.

Damn it. What was it?

(PACKET RUSTLES)

Do you want one?

What? Oh... No, I... No.

Once I pop, I just can't stop.

You can.
It's just about self-control.

But I don't have any self-control.

All these are different accounts,
in different locations.

One of them must have
meant something to Kenny.

That one is different.

Mm.

R-U-R'.

Code, maybe?

It is. Where's, um...?
Where's that Rubik's Cube?

The only way I can solve this
is by taking off all the stickers.

No, we don't need to solve it.
It's cube notation.

He's told us what to do.

OK, um, turn it

right face, 90 degrees clockwise.

Is that supposed to
mean something to me?

No.

OK. Uh, U.

Upwards, 90 degrees.

R'.
Right face, anti-clockwise.

U2.

And F'.

That's it.

"Shh..nap."

"Shnap".

Panda.

Kenny named the account 'Panda'.

Kenny and I were looking into
an international organi...

OK, but before I go on,
you have to understand

that once I tell you about them,
your lives are in danger.

Then don't tell us...
They're called The Twelve.

And they've infiltrated
governments and organisations

all over the world.

We don't know what their endgame is

but we do know
they've been responsible for

a significant number of
international murders.

OK, now, Fat Panda
was a Chinese intelligence officer

killed in Berlin.

He was tracking a double agent
for The Twelve

who was being paid
from a bank account in...

..the Cayman Islands.

Right.

The double agent was an MI5 officer
named Frank Haleton.

What happened to Frank?

He lost his knob...

..and his life.

In that order?

Well, The Twelve wanted a hit on him
but the... (CHUCKLES)

..but the assassin was...

..she had a flair for...
She?

The account went dormant
after Frank's death

but Kenny found it was active again.

Three bank transfers
in the last two months,

totalling just over
six million euros.

And the remaining balance
moved to an account in Geneva.

So, who owns the Geneva account?

We don't know.

We need someone who can get into
some very classified banking info.

Yes, we do.

No, we do not go to them.

Yes, we do.

The thing is we can't
trace the account.

Well, yeah. You don't set up an
account in Geneva for transparency.

But you could trace it, right?

I thought you were looking into the
phone. That was the deal, wasn't it?

Or did Charlie Big Potatoes
change his mind

because he didn't get a Hobnob.

Come on. We're in this together.
Are we?

Because no-one else
is having to work at MI6

whilst moonlighting for Carolyn,

and now you want me to trace...

Did you take this job,
thinking it would be easier?

If you did, quit now,
'cause it's only getting tougher.

I'll see what I can do.

Great.

Oh, and, uh...

That's who we think has been
on their hit-list so far.

You know, I've been going through

the MI6 case files
you and Kenny worked on.

You really should have some kind of
protection. You know that, right?

Do you have any idea what happens to
people who are protected by MI6?

What?

(LAUGHING) It's not good.

(INTERCOM BUZZES)

Charles Kruger.
It's me.

Who's me?
Just let me in.

(DOOR LOCK BUZZES)

Na zdorovie.

Ah!

Look at us, Kostya. We're old.

The kids are all grown up.

I'm going to see my son's graduation
next month.

This modern dance
is... is so visceral!

Have you ever
locked and popped, Kostya?

(CHUCKLES) No! You'd, uh,
displace a hip these days.

Hey? (CHUCKLES) Wouldn't you?

You wanted to see me.

Yeah.

Um...

Somebody's been siphoning money
from the Geneva account.

I managed to retrieve what's left

but a pretty sizeable chunk's
been taken.

How much has gone?

Uh, six million, in total.

Whew!

Do you know who?
No.

Not yet. But I will find
the person responsible.

I'll make some calls,
see what I can find.

Uh, the money, Konstantin.

I... I prefer the money.

If you could...

..tide me over.

You know, just buys me some time
till I find the scoundrel.

OK.
(EXHALES) Thank you.

Thank you.

How's Irina these days?
Still a little shit?

She's like a little shit
taking a shit on a big shit.

Three shit combined into
one enormous shit.

That's wonderful! (LAUGHS)

Kids!

Kids...

(BRAKES SQUEAK, ENGINE IDLES)

VILLANELLE: I want to smell powerful.

I want to make people gag with it.

Can you do that for me?

Well...

..we have some lovely floral
fragrances for ladies over here.

The iris, in particular,
is a very powerful...

Maybe I should describe to you
what I'm thinking.

Let me get a pen.

Hmm.

I want to smell like
a Roman centurion...

..who's coming across an old foe...

..who, in battle, once...

..hurt him greatly.

Oh, but since then,
the Roman centurion has become...

..Emperor...

..and is now powerful beyond measure.

Maybe something more woody.

Mm.

GERALDINE: I think it's wonderful
you're letting people in.

We all need intimacy in our lives.

Even people who keep secrets
for a living.

Nonsense - there are monks in China

who go years without seeing
another human being.

They probably have
different kind of...

Emily Bronte -
hardly left the house.

Mum...

..I'm proud of you
for trying something new.

Dating is scary, but...

..pushing ourselves out of
our comfort zones is how we grow.

You know what's scary, Geraldine,

is how much I regret
telling you it's a date.

I'm so happy
you're doing something for you.

Kenny would be too.

(EARRING CLATTERS)
He always wanted you to meet some...

Here, let me...

No, it's better without it.

And don't talk about Stalin.

He's strictly third date.

Carolyn!

Wha...

Mwah.

Sorry.

(LAUGHS)

How incredible!

I adore a coincidence!

It makes me feel
I'm in the right place.

It must be, what 20 years?

Yeah.

Yeah, 21, it must be.

1999's the year I got divorced.

Oh, yes.
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

For the first time.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Well...
Yeah.

If it makes you feel any better,
I've just had the novel experience

of being stood up.

No... What?!

Surely... You?!

Don't worry. I'll have him killed.

(LAUGHS)

Listen, you, um...

Do you want to get something to eat?

(LAUGHTER)

What about your charming friends?

Hmm?

They disgust me. Come on.

Come on. What do you fancy?
Seafood?

Oh... (LAUGHS)
Steak? No?

There is one thing...

('ENFARTE MUSICAL' CONCLUDES)

I must say, the years
have been good to you, Henrik.

Yeah.

Terrible lifestyle... suits me, hmm?

(BOTH LAUGH)

So, Geneva's still
treating you well?

What, the bank?!

I-I... Don't get me started.

No, do go on.

There's nothing I enjoy more than
some salacious financial gossip.

(SIREN WAILS)

(CAROLYN GROANS)
Is she OK?

The official line is migraine.

I'm having an aura, Eve.

It's probably stress-related.

You know a great cure for that?

Paracetamol.

Did you find out
who owns the account?

Yes.

It's a 92-year-old
sugar-beet farmer in East Anglia.

MO: Who died nine years ago.

The real owner... is this guy.

Charles Kruger.

Born Sergei Korchmarev
in East Berlin.

CAROLYN: And who was
very gorgeous in his day.

Oh, another one of
your Cold War boyfriends, Carolyn?

Don't be ridiculous, Eve.
We barely had a night together.

Yeah, we get it.
You had a great time in the '80s.

So, Korchmarev disappeared
from Russia around 1989,

eventually showing up in London

and presenting himself as
amiable accountant Charles Kruger.

Do you think he could actually be
the accountant for The Twelve?

I'm thinking he's definitely worth
a visit to Kensington.

I'll head right there.
And do what?

Wait in the car with a bottle of pop
and a bag of crisps?

Be hard enough
to get him to talk to me.

He's definitely not gonna talk to
somebody he doesn't know.

Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure.

I know how he operates, Eve.

No, I mean...

..this is different, remember?

I'm gonna have a shower.

Oh, God...

Oh...

First Henrik, then Sergei.

It's not fun, Eve,

using people you once loved.

It's all rather painful, really.

Do you believe a word of that?

No, I think she loves it.

And ruin the fun of a stake-out?

You wouldn't do that
to an old spy, Mo.

Plus... if we go in...

..we're trapped.

Out here, he's accountable.

What happened?

OK, fine.

I don't give a toss.

As long as it's got nothing
to do with what we're working on.

There is this... assassin...

..who works for The Twelve.

Have you got to the chocolate yet?
Mm.

I've just got it.

When I was younger...

Wait there.

Damn.

Follow him.

I don't think
we're gonna lose him, somehow.

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

(MOTORCYCLE ENGINE REVS)

(COUGHS) Ah...

EVE: Villanelle said
she wasn't here for me.

So, let's just think who The Twelve
would want to murder, aside from me.

Right. OK.

Possible assassin targets.

Oh, my God.
What?

Carolyn. It's Carolyn.

They must know
we found their accountant.

So, after you came to England,
what did you do?

An eclair?

Well, that won't get you

Tell me what you're going to wear

death of an innocent man.

I'm really rather embarrassed.

It's all about choices.

You're close, Villanelle.

You are so close to
getting what you want.
