Present Day
Nikita: The party kept raging on, but it was almost midnight.
Some sort of strange business meeting was to take place at midnight.
Jenna: Even if it's sinister, it still doesn't make sense.
Nikita: Exactly, who would host an important meeting at a party of loud drunk people?
And, unfortunately, I never really figured out what that meeting was about. But, my brother and I made a new ally.
It's nearly midnight. Apparently, there will be a business meeting.

Past
Nikita: It's 11:40 PM, almost midnight.
Pavel: I think we should leave before then...
Nikita: Yeah, we should get out of here.
Pavel: But I'm also kind of curious.
Katina: Hello, there.
Pavel: Katina, what a pleasure.
Katina: I'm afraid you're not who you say you are.
*Pavel quickly looks at you*
Pavel: Shit.
Katina: VICTOR WAS KILLED ON HIS WAY HERE.
Pavel: We're gone, I promise. You won't see us again.
Katina: No, you're not going anywhere. You're staying right here.
Pavel: Katina, wait. Just wait one second.
Nikita: Katina, wait. I have a proposition for you.
Katina: You fools, you have no idea what you've done.
Nikita: First of all, we didn't kill anyone...
Pavel: We promise.

Katina: Even if I did believe you, you lied. For that, you will pay.
*Pavel covers his nervous face*
Nikita: How much are they paying you, Katina? 200 large? 300? Not even, I bet...
*Katina listens*
Nikita: Did you know they're in the process of cleaning 520 million... as we speak?
Katina: What? 520 million?
Nikita: That's right, 520 million. We can split it evenly if you help us.
Katina: HELP YOU DO WHAT!? Steal it!?
Nikita: We're some of the best in the business, Katina...
Katina: Clearly not, you got caught. And, you killed Victor.
Nikita: We didn't kill anyone, and we know exactly how to get the 520 million.
Pavel: It's true, Katina.
Nikita: We'll give you 25%, 104 million... Let us go. Meet us in the lobby after midnight.
Pavel: 104 million is probably 1000 times what you're getting now.
Katina: No, no, no. You said even split, that means 33%, not 25%.
*Pavel looks at you*
Pavel: Yeah, 33% is fine.
4
Nikita: Alright, even split. We each take 173 million.
Katina: Who killed Victor?
Nikita: We have no idea, we only know about the City Grill operation.
Katina: 173 million?
Nikita: You have our word.
Katina: Your word... like that means anything.
Nikita: Do you honestly want to pass up 173 million over a small lie?
Pavel: Katina, it's a win-win. We'll all get rich from this.
*You stare into Katina's eyes*
Katina: What's your plan? How will you steal the 520 million?
Nikita: The plan is our only leverage. We can't tell you that.
Katina: Tell me.
Nikita: What would stop you from executing our plan?
Pavel: This is the fairest trade, Katina. Take it or leave it.
Nikita: 173 million...
Katina: Fine, but if you cross me... I'll tell everyone about you two.

Nikita: Katina, you will be our eyes and ears. Meet us in the lobby after the meeting.
*Katina looks at you both*
Katina: Mhmm.
*Katina leaves*
Nikita: Oh my, that was close.
Present Day
Jenna: Does this plan actually work out? There's no way...
Nikita: You'll see, you'll see. Let me keep going.
Jenna: Sorry, please continue.
Past
Pavel: Well, I guess we have an ally now?
Nikita: She can spy for us, I think this will work out.
Pavel: Yeah, but I don't know if we can trust her.
Nikita: This party was a bad idea.
Pavel: I'm sorry, brother, it was my fault.
Nikita: No, I wanted to come here too, it's not your fault.
Pavel: We can run. Move again, leave St. Petersburg.
Nikita: I guess our dark past didn't take too long to catch up to us.
Pavel: What do you mean?
Nikita: We're criminals, brother. That's what we will always be.
Pavel: Don't say that, Nick. It'll get better.
Nikita: We literally just made a plan with... I don't even know who? Who is Katina?
Pavel: Yeah, I don't know what she does...
Nikita: Last mission, then we're so done with this life.
Pavel: Last mission.
6
Nikita: What is taking so long, it's already 12:40 AM.
Pavel: I don't know how long these things typically last.
Nikita: She should have been down here by now probably.
*Pavel shrugs*
Nikita: Brother, do you think they hurt her?
Pavel: Maybe we should get out of here, Nikita.
Nikita: I underestimated these guys, I don't think we should steal from them.
Pavel: Yeah... we need to leave. Let's go.
*You look for the car keys*
Present Day
Jenna: So she died??? Just like that?
Nikita: Well, no, but...
Jenna: But what?
Nikita: She was still bad news... we just didn't know it.
Past
Pavel: I've got the keys, let's go.
Katina: Hey boys, where are you going?
Pavel: Oh, you're here.
Katina: You told me to come down here...
*Pavel looks at you*
Pavel: Yep.
Nikita: What information do you have for us, Katina?
*Pavel turns to Katina*
Pavel: Let's hear it.
7
Katina: Some of the men are going to investigate Victor's death.
Pavel: Do you know anything about his death?
Katina: Well, it happened right around the time I met you two.
Pavel: Exactly, so it couldn't have been us.
Katina: Yeah, I know.
Pavel: This might be the perfect time to steal the 520 million.
Katina: Well, a lot of men will be gone, so it may be easier at this time.
Pavel: But they might be expecting an attack... if Victor was killed.
Katina: As far as being your eyes and ears, I can't.
Pavel: Why?
Katina: I have nothing to do with City Grill, it would be highly suspicious.
Pavel: Ah, I see. My brother and I can find out the schedule.
Nikita: You aren't getting free money, Katina, you will help us.
Pavel: When we find the schedule, we will meet with you.
*Katina winks*
Katina: Sure thing, boys.
Pavel: Talk soon.
