:17:02
So... what are you up to?
:17:05
- I'm saving a life.
- Whose?
:17:07
Mine. I'm on a case that reeks of KGB
involvement and I've got to be extra...
:17:11
Wouldn't you two
rather have good Soviet vodka?
:17:14
No, Natasha, wicked French wine will do.
:17:20
Who is that?
:17:25
That is Jack Osborne.
An American.
:17:28
He comes here
to buy our sable pelts.
:17:31
Well, it is the only place

:17:36
They say the Kremlin uses him to take
messages to and from Washington.
:17:40
He's a very big wheel.
:17:43
He even had dinner
with Brezhnev before he died.
:17:46
Well, perhaps the conversation
would have been better after he'd died.
:17:51
Anton.
:18:06
The Ancient Greeks
understood the mechanics of power.
:18:11

in the interests of the strong. "
:18:16
I've heard the same sentiment expressed
in not-too-dissimilar terms in America.
:18:21
"Those were the gold-maker rules"
someone said.
:18:25
You mean in America only
those with money can be innocent?
:18:30
No. I mean in America, attorneys
do very well for themselves.
:18:36
Well, do you know what you're doing here
when you engage a defense lawyer?
:18:40
Wasting money.
:18:58
I read your report, Arkady.
