Frank said the organization calls themselves The Twelve.
One of the girls was called Oksana.
Oksana Astonkova. Fits the profile perfectly.

She was in my house. She took my phone.

Okay. Your name is Natalia Popova.

You'’re in because you stole some hats.
Wow!

They were controversial hats.
When you'’re inside, you have to find a way to see the doctor.
Okay?
That'’s important.
Say it back to me.
Why did you never try to have sex with me?
Stop doing that!
Is that for me?
This is a very important job for you.
It is...to protect you.
- I know you'’re nervous. - I'’m not nervous.
I know you'’re nervous. But you don'’t have to be.
You go in, you find the doctor, kill Nadia and come out.
And what if someone recognizes me?
They won'’t.
It'’s been years since you were here.
You will collect me afterwards?
I swear in my heart.
Just a few days... and I pick you up.
I don'’t need a few days.
I will see you tomorrow.

Could it be Oksana?
No, we don'’t know where Oksana, um, Villanelle, is.
Her name is Nadia Kadomtseva.
Russian intelligence picked her up near Bletcham
and took her out of the country.
Wait, hold on. Are we calling Villanelle Oksana now?
It'’s her real name.
So Nadia was the other assassin with Villanelle?
She'’s been taken to a prison outside Moscow.
The same one Villanelle was in three years ago.
What? Can we... Is there any chance we can speak to her?
She might know how to get to Villanelle.
If this girl is a lead to anything,
it'’s The Twelve.
Can we go?
Well, there are some delicate strings I could pull.
Perhaps they'’re worth a tug.

Uh, yeah.

Oh, beyond forever.

He'’ll pounce on us the moment we arrive.
Why would he give us access to Nadia?
Good old traditional tit for tat.
And when you say "tit"...

Meaning I'’ll give him something in return.
Yes, I know. It was a joke.
It'’s a very English expression.

Alright.

for Russian intelligence in the UK.
- She is more of a friend. - Oh.
Well, now she'’s rather friendly with us.
She told us that she was helping Frank Haleton
with safe passage. Why did you want to talk to him?
He was relevant for a special investigation we had here.
We were sad we didn'’t get to speak to him.
Well, we did get to speak to him.
He gave us some information about an organization
we believe is behind a number of assassinations.
Including your Victor Kedrin.
Is your investigation looking into that too?
I thought so.
Right. Well, I believe rather extraordinarily
that we'’re on the same side here.
Isn'’t that nice?
Do you have a name for this organization?
- Yes. - What is it?
Just set up a meeting with Nadia tomorrow morning
and we will give you the name

You may take some seconds to think what your terms are.

We can secure your release from this prison.
We can have you transported back to the UK,

If you give us information.

We don'’t trust you either.
So how about we strike a deal?
You give us something now,

then in a few days we'’ll have you removed from the prison.
And we take you to the embassy.

Let me tell you about Vlad.
In the '’70s,
a journalist called Mary Kenny
was found tangled in the arms of a former cabinet member
of the Ugandan government.
And Private Eye printed it.
And the phrase "Ugandan discussions"
quickly took on a more illicit meaning.
Let'’s just say that Vlad and I
had one or two "Ugandan discussions" ourselves.
I spent the whole time thinking it was some sort of honey trap.
He spent the whole time thinking the same.
Which if anything just made the whole thing more thrilling.
I know.
We'’re not the most obvious match.
But the man is extraordinarily...
..agile.
And now?
Well,
I discovered a little sort of plutonium plot.
Some years ago.
And the rumor mill thought he'’d given me the information.
He hadn'’t but I had to protect my source, so...
..I let them believe it.
He'’s never forgiven me.
Hm. Who was your source?
Konstantin.
No-one believed it wasn'’t Vlad.
Poor agile Vlad.

I'’m sorry I don't like your husband.

it was always the ones I liked the least I loved the most.
Maybe it was the fact that I loved them made me...
dislike them so much.
Oh, dear.
I'’m bordering on the profound.

Hey. Kenny, it'’s me.

Hey. Yes.
