Yeah, I know. It starts like this and you need rhythm.

I, erm... I think, erm...

Eve?

I think I made a mistake.

OK, about what?

About all of it, I mean, I can't stop thinking

what if... what if it was all a mistake?

Don't torture yourself like that. It's gonna get easier.

- Oh, please... - Hey! I promise.

Eve, you've got to find the parts of your life

that you can bear and just... just live, from there.

What? With three songs and protein shakes?

My last tour was hard.

Seven of us made it back. There's three left.

What I mean is... moving on,

no matter how difficult, that is always a choice.

Well, what if I can't move on?

You can, you can.

But what if I don't want to?

Well, that's a question you need to answer.

Of course, Villanelle.

you'll finally pay attention to me.

Tell me where you are.

Irina, tell me where you are!

You know I can't tell you. They're the rules, old man.

I hope you don't mind the intrusion,

Ah. Beautiful creatures.

Hmm, bit of both.

I got you hot chocolate.

Thanks.

So... what's on the schedule today?

Who do I have to kill to get a smile out of you?

Look around you, Pam.

Forget training today,

you are young, go have fun.

I call you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

So, you've come to drag the rat back to Russia by the tail?

You've left a wake of betrayal behind you, Carolyn.

Russia. Me.

Even your own country.

Now you're completely alone.

Wasting good sherry... unlike you.

Be my guest.

On second thoughts, I wouldn't if I were you.

It was bought for me by that beige creature in the lobby.

I suspect he's an assassin sent to kill me.

Still, I don't want to spoil your fun.

And why would that be?

In my absence... (SIGHS)

I found out why The Twelve are such a pain in the posterior to unearth.

As you probably know, The Twelve operates in cells,

and those cells are kept entirely separate from each other.

However, I found out from this

that the leadership do meet on occasion.

One of whom is Lars Meier.

Who is?

Someone from my past.

When I looked into everyone I had met when The Twelve first bleeped on my radar,

all of them were either dead or clearly civilian.

And Lars Meier?

- Recently deceased. - Aha.

So now you're stumped.

Not quite.

I found this on his body.

It contains dates

of what I believe to be previous Twelve meetings.

And then there's this...

The Barn Swallow... the national bird of Austria.

Intricately drawn next to dates,

perhaps a favoured meeting place?

As you can see from the incessant decor of this place, it led me here.

You always were the very best.

They must have been drunk when they fired you.

- Carolyn... - Damn! This may not be the place.

But surely that would be too brazen.

Carolyn, you know the weight betrayal carries for my people.

Hold that thought, Vlad, you've just given me some inspiration.

My apologies, Vlad. My suggestion is that

I leave you our anoraked friend

to take back to Russia in my place.

I'm sure he's still loitering around, waiting to finish the job.

Meanwhile, I'll make my way back to London

and face what needs to be faced.

What does, erm, help look like to you?

Oh, I don't know.

I used to play bridge.

I used to sing karaoke...

I just watched a woman bleed to death, and killed a man.

- Er, I can't er... - Oh, don't, don't worry,

But see, I, erm...

I wanted to kill him, so I did.

I wanted Villanelle gone and now she's gone.

And unbelievably, I survived.

- Well done? - For what?

Hmm?

For what?

What does it matter if...

if the cells keep dividing? And it's endless?

Eve, all we can do in life,

Why didn't you kill Helene yourself?

No. Why did you want her dead?

When I was young,

my entire village in France was wiped out

by a poisoned water source.

My parents died. So, I left.

I went to Paris.

And I longed for the country again.

Animals, trees.

Freedom.

Helene offered me that. And gave me this island.

What, you got this island?

Oh, yes.

(SIGHS)

But I realised not long ago that Helene was just using me.

Hmm...

Such a bitch,

she was just holding us back.

What poisoned the water in your village?

About three gallons of sodium cyanide.

So, erm, what does it mean?

Is it, er, a location, a person, er...

No, no, this is not job. This look like a meeting.

You should find Villanelle.

She can help you out with this.

Before she was shot in the back with an arrow,

she came to me

and I sent her to another assassin in Scotland.

She doesn't want to see me.
