Episode 11
Matt is still in St Petersburg, and Lilian's getting worried.
Matt thanks Lilian for sending a new bank card, lying that he's doing fine. Lilian wishes they could work on his deal together: is he ever coming home? Matt lets slip that Brenda's there helping him and Lilian's angry. Matt tells Lilian to trust him. She begs Matt to let her back in to his life. Upset but concealing it Matt hangs up and sobs to himself.
Brenda and Dmitry go to meet Matt. Dmitry explains that he is an employee at the firm Brenda went to to find him: the woman she spoke to must have been new so didn't know him. Dmitry's convinced by Brenda to share with Matt what he knows about Vitaly's contact Nikolai Babarin, whose name was on Matt's contract. He gives Matt the contact's business address, but advises him not to go there. Matt goes and worried Brenda convinces Dmitry to follow him in his car.
Matt discovers a trashed office. A woman there, a secretary he presumes, nervously asks Matt to leave. She admits the last time she saw Nicolai he was going to the factory site. Matt leaves and sees Brenda and Dmitry. He's going to the site, and Brenda insists on going with him. Dmitry's worried for Brenda so reluctantly drives them. The site is a village with ramshackle houses. Matt approaches a drunk old farmer who's reluctant to talk. Dmitry translates. The man's angry that no one cares for them and that foreigners buy the land from under them. Dmitry explains that the whole village is terrified. Before Matt can glean any more, Brenda spots a black four by four at the top of the road. Dmitry insists they leave immediately.
