Its
2020 and Charlotte Kate, the government spy, and Daniel Hardy, her accomplice,
have been sent off on a mission to find information on a newly made billionaire
who is living in Zell Am See, Austria. The two get to their hotel in Austria
and set up equipment that they will be needing to use over the course of the
stay. Both place an earpiece in their ears before leaving the room. The two
dine on the first night together in a small but busy restaurant in the town
where Christopher, the billionaire is living. As Charlotte sees Christopher get
up to go to the bathroom she follows, waiting just before the narrow corridor.
When Christopher comes out of the bathroom Charlotte walks past and bumps into
him falling to the floor. Christopher extends his arm out to help Charlotte up
while asking her out for drinks the next night to apologise for knocking her
over and she accepts as this was her plan all along. Christopher reaches into his
pocket pulling out a business card with only his name and an email address on
it, scribbles a time and a bars name on it before handing Charlotte the card.
She takes it, winks and walks back to the table, grabbing her coat and walking
straight out. Daniels face lights up with a smile as he follows her out and
back to the hotel.
Charlotte
gets ready to go and meet Christopher, putting in her ear piece so that Daniel
can monitor what is going on from a car just a street away from the bar. As
Charlotte arrives at the bar Christopher is waiting outside and as she turns to
close the door of the taxi she arrived in Daniel drives past her, neither of
them acknowledge it as to make sure Christopher is clueless. Christopher and
Charlotte enter the bar and he asks her about her upbringing, she completely
lies telling him that she worked in a shoe shop as a sales assistant and
recently inherited money from a deceased relative and decided to spend it on
‘’a holiday abroad to Austria, ski central, despite not being able to ski.’’
She tells him. She then asks about him, he says that ‘’what if he was to say
the same’’ before she replies that she doesn’t believe him. He puts his glass
down and says for her to follow him. She hears her earpiece crackle in to life
in her ear as Daniel says ‘’Go, I’m right behind you’’. Charlotte nods with a
grin on her face at Christopher and the two leave the bar. They pull up outside
a large Scandinavian looking mansion half way up the side of the Schmittenhöhe.
Charlotte follows him inside. Daniel pulls up slowly after, looking for cameras
on the outside before placing his own motion sensor one on the floor just
outside of the iron gates covered by leaves. The two walk past a large
conference looking room with paper work all over the massive oak table standing
in the centre of the room. As Charlotte looks in Christopher quickly pulls the
large door closed, locks it and puts the key into his pocket. Christopher leads
Charlotte into a living room with a glass wall looking out over the snowy slopes
with the lights of Zell Am See glistening in the distance. He pours her a glass
of wine, she takes it from his hand as she sits, watching him intently.
Christopher pours himself a glass, places the keys from his pocket next to the
bottle and walks over towards Charlotte who has now changed her gaze from him to
looking out of the huge glass windows. Christopher places his glass on the side
table as his phone rings. He scowls at it and says he has to take it. As
Christopher leaves Charlotte whispers to Daniel on the earpiece telling him to
get outside and that she’s on her way. She tip-toes over to the keys on the
table and picks them up without making a sound before slipping them into her
blazer pocket. She jogs lightly over to the door that Christopher went into
shouting in ‘’I’m sorry to be a pain, I have to rush off, I’ve left my number
by the bottle of wine, call me, please’’. Christopher shouts okay and she runs
out of the huge building jumping into the car with Daniel. She turns to him
slowly with a solemn look on her face before pulling the keys out of her pocket
and the two explode into a fit of laughter.
The
next day, Daniel is at the computer when an alarm goes off saying that the
motion sensor he placed outside of Christopher’s house has been disturbed
before a clip of his black Mercedes jeep pulling out from the iron gates
appears. Charlotte and Daniel pull on their coats before jumping in the car to
head off to Christopher’s house. As they arrive Daniel stays outside just up
the narrow lane in case Christopher was to return. Charlotte uses the keys to
let herself into the mansion and then into the conference looking room. She looks
at the paperwork strewn on the table, they’re books filled with items and spy
services he has sold on the black market worth thousands and millions of
pounds. Just as she finishes telling Daniel about everything and putting the
evidence into her bag Daniel shouts through the earpiece ‘’get out of there
now, he’s back’’. As Charlotte comes out into the corridor she hears the front
door slam closed, she spots a small side door and runs out of it. Two sets of
skis are leant against the houses wooden exterior. She reaches into her bag for
her clips that allow her to clip into skis in whatever shoes she’s wearing and
grabs two poles from off the ground. She chucks her bobble hat on and heads off
down the hill just as she hears the door open behind her and Christopher come
out shouting for her to come back. The earpiece crackles into life once more
and Daniels voice informing her the agents are on their way to the bottom of
the hill to arrest him. Charlotte can hear that Christopher has put on his own
ski’s and is now in pursuit of her down the hillside towards Zell Am Sell. As she
reaches the bottom Christopher is close behind and has no time to slow down and
change direction, he crashes into Daniel who grabs him before he can get away
and the agents take over from Daniel. Charlotte turns around so that
Christopher can see her face and he shouts ‘’I thought you couldn’t ski you cow’’ while being put into the backseat of a large black car.
