EPISODE 35 - OLEG
PIP
Hello dear Amelia listeners, hope you have your cocoa ready! Speaking of which, last week we received an email from our listener Sharon Berman who sent us an article from Medical News Today headlined “Cocoa may protect males' hearts from the effects of mental stress.” So there you have it, don’t take it from us, take it from Medical News Today, there’s no harm in a good cup of cocoa now and then. The only thing that makes us even happier than cocoa, well the thing that allows us to buy cocoa in the first place, is people becoming patrons of the show, and we’d like to dedicate today’s episode to our super patron Rushabh Shukla. Thank you Rushabh. We pick up where we left off last time, in Ant’s cell at Golovin prison. Enjoy the episode.
ANT’s CELL. INSECTS BUZZING IN THE BACKGROUND.
INTERVIEWER
There you go. And one for me. Ready? To success in Panaragua! (CRUNCHES ON MALTESER)
ANT
Success in-
OLEG
I need to talk to you.
SILENCE
INTERVIEWER
Oleg? Did you just...?
OLEG
Yes. I need to talk to you.
INTERVIEWER
He... You... You talk?
OLEG
I talk.
INTERVIEWER
But... but... Well cover me in custard and call me a crumble!
OLEG
Now listen carefully.
THE DOOR OPENS AND BORIS COMES IN.
INTERVIEWER
Oh damn! Boris… How nice to see you.
BORIS
The plane is ready. Presidente Julio Che Rodriguez Alvarez de la Fuente, Major General of the Panaraguan Freedom Army of 1972 is waiting. You've got your insects?
ANT
Everything bar Pincer Ants, but we'll get those on the ground in Panaragua.
BORIS
Then it's time to go!
INTERVIEWER
Good luck Ant. Have a good revolution.
BORIS
Hurry up! The revolution waits for nobody!

INTRO: The Amelia Project created by Philip Thorne and Oystein Brager with music and sound direction by Fredrik Baden. Episode 35. Oleg.
BACK IN THE INTERVIEWER’S CELL
BORIS
Welcome back to your cell.
INTERVIEWER
Home sweet home.
BORIS
I've restocked the bookshelf.
INTERVIEWER
The complete works of Dostoievski.
BORIS
Just as you requested.
INTERVIEWER
You're too kind.
BORIS
If you need anything else, Oleg is at your disposal.
OLEG
(IN RUSSIAN) Yes.
BORIS
I have urgent business back at the Kremlin. I'll return and let you know once they've landed safely in Panaragua.
INTERVIEWER
When will that be?
BORIS
Six hours. Enjoy your Dostoievski. (LAUGHS)
BORIS LEAVES.
INTERVIEWER
So.
PAUSE.
Oleg.
PAUSE.
You talk.
PAUSE.
OLEG
(IN RUSSIAN) Yes.
INTERVIEWER
Does Boris know?
OLEG
(IN RUSSIAN) No.
INTERVIEWER
Not again! I thought you could say more than "yes" and "no"!
OLEG
(IN RUSSIAN) Yes.
INTERVIEWER
(GROANS)
OLEG
Sorry. Force of habit.
INTERVIEWER
Aha! We're getting somewhere! How long have you been... um... monosyllabic?
OLEG
Two years.
INTERVIEWER
You've only said "da" and "net" for two years?
OLEG
(IN RUSSIAN) Yes.
INTERVIEWER
So why break the habit today?
PAUSE.
Oleg?
PAUSE.
OLEG
I think you can help me.
INTERVIEWER
You really think this is the moment Oleg? You might have noticed, I've got rather a lot on my plate right now!
OLEG
In return, I will help you.
INTERVIEWER
How can you help me?
OLEG
I will find your friends.
INTERVIEWER
Boris has already promised he'll take care of that.
OLEG
And you trust him?
BEAT.
INTERVIEWER
I get your point.
But why should I trust you Oleg?
PAUSE.
And to be perfectly blunt, even if I did trust you, how the dickens would you do it? You've been perfectly useful procuring letter openers, Maltesers and Russian literature, but these skills do not extend to locating and retrieving missing people. For all we know Amelia and Alvina could be in an Iranian basement, a US holding cell or a Chinese torture chamber.
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
And you think you're the one to get them out?
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
Why?
OLEG
Because I used to be a special agent.
INTERVIEWER
You did?
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
Well Oleg, you have my ear. Tell me your story. Wait, is there still cocoa in the thermos?
OLEG
I thought you didn't like it.
INTERVIEWER
It's not Les Deux Magots, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Anyway, no stories without cocoa.
OLEG UNSCREWS THE THERMOS AND POURS TWO CUPS.
OLEG
Two cocoas.
INTERVIEWER
Thank you. You may begin.
OLEG
My name is Oleg Kamenev. (HE WAITS)
INTERVIEWER
Should I... um... know that name?
OLEG
My father was the president's head bodyguard, my grandfather was Marshall of the Russian Federation, my great grandfather was head of the Militsiya, my great great grandfather was an aide to Tsar Nicholas, my-
INTERVIEWER
I get it. Your family has a long tradition of serving Russia. So you joined the secret service to make your own contribution to the family name.
OLEG
Tsk. My great great great great great great grandfather single-handedly drove the Mongols out of Russia. After that, it's hard to do anything impressive.
INTERVIEWER
A tough act to follow.
OLEG
But then, I saw an opportunity to make my mark.
INTERVIEWER
How's that?
OLEG
Once a year, there is a competition among the secret service to determine who will become Mikhail's new secretary.
INTERVIEWER
(UNDERWHELMED) A secretary?
OLEG
I decided to compete!
INTERVIEWER
(UNIMPRESSED) To become a secretary?
OLEG
Mikhail's secretary!
INTERVIEWER
Mikhail.
beat.
Since arriving at Golovin I hear Mikhail Mikhail Mikhail. Boris seems terrified of this Mikhail.
OLEG
Everyone is terrified of Mikhail.
INTERVIEWER
What makes him so special?
OLEG
Mikhail is the boss.
INTERVIEWER
Whose boss?
OLEG
Everyone's boss.
INTERVIEWER
Everyone in Golovin?
OLEG
Golovin. Moscow. Russia.
INTERVIEWER
What about your president?
OLEG
What about him?
INTERVIEWER
Surely Mikhail isn't the boss of-
OLEG
What Mikhail wants, Mikhail gets.
INTERVIEWER
(ASIDE) Sounds like Kozlowski.
OLEG
Excuse me?
INTERVIEWER
You're telling me the president of Russia is in Mikhail's pocket?
OLEG
Not just the president of Russia.
INTERVIEWER
Excuse me?
OLEG
But this is where he has his chosen to set up his headquarters. His offices are in Kremlin.
INTERVIEWER
But his influence extends beyond?
OlEG
(LAUGHS)
For every Kalashnikov smuggled into Africa and every ounce of Methamphetamine sold in the US, Mikhail gets a cut. From car thefts in Bucharest to counterfeits in New Deli and casino scams in Monaco, Mikhail is everywhere. There isn't a pimp, poacher, bootlegger, smuggler or scammer who doesn't report to him.
INTERVIEWER
You're telling me Mikhail is some sort of mastermind of organised crime?
OlEG
That's just a small part of it.
INTERVIEWER
Oh?
OlEG
Mikhail has the private numbers of presidents and prime ministers around the world. He has dirt on CEO's of multinational corporations. Media moguls owe him favors. The pope has him on speed dial.
INTERVIEWER
Well serve me with syrup and call me a pancake! I think I'm starting to see why becoming his secretary is be a big deal.
OLEG
The selection procedure for becoming his secretary is open only to the best agents.
INTERVIEWER
What does it entail?
OLEG
You need an excellent memory. I was given half an hour to memorize every town, village and hamlet in Russia in alphabetical order.
INTERVIEWER
You succeeded?
OLEG
Abakan, Abaza, Abdulino, Abinsk, Achinsk, Adygeysk, Agidel, Agryz-
INTERVIEWER
Okay, I believe you!
OLEG
They test your concentration by making you transcribe someone reading from a car repair manual for twenty four hours.
INTERVIEWER
I know you managed that!
OLEG
Yes! I was one of only three people who succeeded without making a single error or passing out. Then they tested the ability to withstand torture. They-
INTERVIEWER
Um, if you don't mind, I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to torture.
OLEG
So were Egor and Yerik.
INTERVIEWER
So you were the last man standing!
OLEG
I was.
INTERVIEWER
Congratulations! You got into Mikhail's inner sanctum?
OLEG
I did. I traveled the world. Revolutions, coups, assassinations, elections and referendums. Mikhail's influence is everywhere.
INTERVIEWER
And what were your duties?
OLEG
I answered calls from Prime Ministers and Mullahs. I took the minutes for all Mikhail's meetings. Newspaper editors sent me their stories and waited for me to confirm Mikhail's approval. I kept tabs on his enemies and added new ones to the blacklist. I chased up payments from arms dealers in Texas and made sure payments to lawmakers and judges were received on time.
INTERVIEWER
You and Alvina would have a lot to talk about.
OLEG
Sorry?
INTERVIEWER
Did you enjoy the job?
OLEG
Breakfast on an Oil Sheik's yacht, lunch with the King of Spain, then jetting off to Romania to oversee an arms deal. Dinner with the head of the Turkish secret service followed by drinks with a drug lord from Uzbekistan. Every day was different! Every day was a challenge!
INTERVIEWER
Oleg, then what are you doing in Golovin? Don't you find it rather dull here?
OLEG
It is very boring.
INTERVIEWER
I sympathise Oleg. I really do.
OLEG
But you're going to get me out of here.
INTERVIEWER
First I need to know what got you in here. Why leave your job? It sounds like you enjoyed it and were very good at it.
OLEG
After ten months working for Mikhail, the new competition started.
INTERVIEWER
The competition to become Mikhail's secretary?
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
So someone was going to replace you?
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
Why?
OLEG
That's how it works. Mikhail gets a new secretary every year.
INTERVIEWER
And what happens to the old one?
OLEG
They're dispatched to different corners of the globe to run parts of the operation. The shellfish black market in Cape Town. The taxi medallion racket in New York. The troll farm in Ashgabat.
INTERVIEWER
A troll farm?!
OLEG
Internet trolls.
INTERVIEWER
(DISAPPOINTED) Oh.
OLEG
The plan for me was to go to Manila to head up our passport printing operation there.
INTERVIEWER
But you're not in Manila...
OLEG
Indeed.
INTERVIEWER
So what happened?
OLEG
I didn't trust Mikhail. After following him for almost a year, I knew he doesn't delegate. He micro-manages every detail of his empire. He is as invested with our Three Cup Monte business in the streets of Montmartre as he is with a multi million dollar Wall Street scam.
INTERVIEWER
He sounds paranoid.
OLEG
His level of control is extraordinary. The only person with true insight into what's happening is his secretary. I was the only person in the world who knew who he was meeting, when, where and why.
beat
Which is why he only keeps his secretaries for a year. That way nobody knows too much or becomes too powerful.
INTERVIEWER
Hmmm... And you didn't trust him to give you a new position in Manila you say?
OLEG
My predecessor was a woman called Olga Stepanova. After her time with Mikhail she went to Silicon Valley to oversee our data mining operation there. I'd received emails from Olga, but never met her. We were in San Francisco to see the developer of our new cryptocurrency, so I decided to track her down.
pause.
I couldn't find a single Olga Stepanova in the Bay Area.
beat.
You see where this is going, don't you?
INTERVIEWER
You think Mikhail killed her?
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
So Mikhail recruits a secretary, confides in them for a year, then wipes the slate clean and starts the process all over again...
OLEG
That way nobody can rise up to rival him.
INTERVIEWER
That's ruthless.
OLEG
Ruthlessness is one of Mikhail's most formidable traits.
INTERVIEWER
So what did you do? You tried to escape?
OLEG
From Mikhail? Ha! Running from Mikhail is pointless. Instead, I faked an accident.
INTERVIEWER
(INTERESTED) Ooh!
OLEG
Mikhail's Kremlin office is at the top of the Vodovzvodnaya tower. I tripped and fell down the spiral staircase.
INTERVIEWER
Nice! You bubble-wrapped yourself under your clothes I presume?
OLEG
I wish! I dislodged my right arm and broke my left leg.
INTERVIEWER
Ouch! That's why you should always hire professionals.
OLEG
That's why I'm talking to you. Apparently you're-
INTERVIEWER
-the best in the business. Yes. I am. Continue your story.
OLEG
During his night shift, a guard from the Kremlin regiment found me at the bottom of the stairs. He brought me to Mikhail. Mikhail asked what had happened. I didn't answer. He asked how long I'd been left at the bottom of the stairs. I didn't answer. He asked if I could hear him alright. I said (IN RUSSIAN) "yes." He asked if I remembered anything, I said (IN RUSSIAN) "no."
INTERVIEWER
You feigned memory loss?
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
And you thought Mikhail would buy that?
OLEG
What did I have to lose? The worst that could happen was that I'd be executed earlier. But if he believed it, there was a chance-
INTERVIEWER
But he didn't!
OLEG
No. He chose to execute me on the spot.
INTERVIEWER
Oh!
OLEG
He bundled me into a car and drove me to Golovin. Boris was waiting for us. "Follow Boris" Mikhail ordered. "He will take you to your new home in the Golovin basement."
INTERVIEWER
What did you do?
OLEG
I said (IN RUSSIAN) "yes."
INTERVIEWER
Why?
OLEG
What else could I do?
INTERVIEWER
So you followed Boris...
OLEG
I followed him down to the basement, praying they wouldn't take me to the Vasilyevich Chamber.
INTERVIEWER
Why? What happens in the Vasilyevich Chamber?
OLEG
I thought you said you were squeamish? Let's just say it's where I used to send Mikhail's worst enemies.
INTERVIEWER
I see... And it that were they took you?
OLEG
Yes. I tried to stay calm and not show any emotion.
OLEG
"You know what happens in the Vasilyevich Chamber" Mikhail asked. (IN RUSSIAN) "No" I replied.
I entered the chamber and the guard strapped me into a chair.
Mikhail waited and stared at me. He waited for one minute. I just sat there.
He stared and stared and then... he told Boris to release me. It had been a test. Mikhail was convinced I had lost all sense of speech and memory. He no longer saw me as a threat.
INTERVIEWER
He took pity on you?
OLEG
Of course not. He just realised he could still use me. But he didn't want to risk me being out in the world.
INTERVIEWER
So he kept you in Golovin... If you ever started talking, you'd be safely isolated. But this way, you could still put your elite secretarial skills to use, transcribing everything that goes on in Block D...
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
So this means you can't leave Golovin either?
OLEG
I live three cells down from yours.
INTERVIEWER
I... had no idea...
OLEG
I report to Mikhail about every chemist, philosopher, engineer, physicist, hacker, biologist, astronomer, psychic, statistician and alchemist in here.
INTERVIEWER
There's something I don't understand Oleg. Block D is home to the most cutting edge minds in science and technology, yet Mikhail relies on you manually transcribing everything? Why not install a recorder? Or a camera?
OLEG
Mikhail doesn't trust anything that can be hacked or digitally transmitted. I transcribe everything by typewriter. Boris collects the papers as soon as I leave each cell. After Mikhail reads the reports he shreds them so no traces are left.
INTERVIEWER
Old school. Clever.
OLEG
Stupid.
INTERVIEWER
Oh?
beat.
OLEG
I told you how I memorized every town in Russia. Those skills haven't faded. There is a copy of everything that is said in Block D in my brain.
INTERVIEWER
Wow. That's a lot of stories!
OLEG
Indeed.
INTERVIEWER
I would love to pick your brains Oleg! Ant told me Abd al-Rahman Safar is an inmate here. Is that true? He's really using clairvoyance to help the Russians obtain state secrets?
OLEG
Yes.
INTERVIEWER
And there's an engineer working on the world's first robotic ballerina?
OLEG
Hiroshi, yes.
INTERVIEWER
How's that going? Is it really going to star at the Bolshoi?
OLEG
At this morning's rehearsal for Sleeping Beauty it lost its balance during a pirouette and fell into the orchestra pit.
INTERVIEWER
Oh no.
OLEG
It electrocuted a trombonist. Sleeping Beauty won't go ahead next month. Mikhail will be very disappointed.
INTERVIEWER
So here you are, keeping tabs on Mikhail's army of mad mavericks and quietly collecting their stories. But what do you do with their secrets?
OLEG
I share them with the world.
INTERVIEWER
What?
OLEG
It's my revenge for what Mikhail has done to me.
INTERVIEWER
You're saying Block D's secrets are public knowledge?
OLEG
Not public, no. But I make sure they get to the right people.
INTERVIEWER
But how do you get the secrets out? I thought you can't leave Golovin?
OLEG
I can't.
INTERVIEWER
And I don't assume they've given you a phone or an internet connection?
OLEG
No.
INTERVIEWER
So...?
OLEG
Being around mavericks has its advantages.
INTERVIEWER
Someone's helping you get the information out? Who?
OLEG
Abd al-Rahman Safar.
INTERVIEWER
The psychic? Well strain me through a sieve!
OLEG
Golovin's guards and gates are useless when it comes to telepathy.
INTERVIEWER
You've been psychically transmitting what goes on in here to the Kremlin's enemies?
OLEG
Every evening on my visit to Abd al-Rahman Safar's cell, I dictate the day's events to him. I also tell him who the information should reach. Agents, politicians, freedom fighters, journalists, ambassadors, scientists and generals. From my days with Mikhail I have a good knowledge of his enemies.
INTERVIEWER
What about our plan to fake the Panaraguan revolution?
OLEG
Pablo Perez Garcia knows it all.
INTERVIEWER
What?! No! If this mission fails Boris won't help me find Amelia and Alvina!
OLEG
All the more reason to put your trust in me.
INTERVIEWER
I can't believe you've been leaking Golovin's secrets right under Boris' nose!
OLEG
Boris is a blockhead.
INTERVIEWER
How did he end up here?
OLEG
That's a story for another time. Right now the question is how are you going to get me out of here?
INTERVIEWER
There's only one way.
OLEG
What's that?
INTERVIEWER
I'm going to need to meet my neighbors.
OLEG
What do you mean?
INTERVIEWER
I need to see what skills we have at our disposal.
OLEG
You want me to introduce you to the Block D inmates?
INTERVIEWER
Can you do that?
OLEG
Hmm...
INTERVIEWER
Boris won't be back until he has news of the president's arrival in Panaragua. The next few hours are the perfect opportunity...
OLEG
I suppose you're right...
INTERVIEWER
You'll give me the tour?
pause.
OLEG
I'll give you the tour.
AD BREAK.
INSIDE A JEEP.
ALVINA
Yuck! It tastes like soil.
AMELIA
I think it's delicious!
SAVANNAH
(IN SPANISH) She doesn't like it?
AMELIA
My friend hasn't developed her Maté palate yet.
PEREZ
Give it time!
ALVINA
I don't expect to be here longer than necessary.
AMELIA
Stop being so grumpy Alvina.
ALVINA
You really like it?
AMELIA
Maté grows on you. Like with cigars. At first you think they just taste like burning smoke, but then-
ALVINA
You smoke cigars?
AMELIA
Remember that Cuban theatre director who could only pay with a crate of Cohibas? It would have been a pity to let them go to waste.
ALVINA
Well, Maté isn't my cup of tea. Tea! What I'd give for a nice cup of Earl Grey in a china cup... A scone with jam and clotted cream... A-
SAVANNAH
Is food all she ever thinks about?
ALVINA
Hey! We've been on the road for more than five hours! (YAWNS)
AMELIA
(YAWNS) She's right. I'm getting tired too. How long until we arrive?
PEREZ
You see those towers over there?
AMELIA
Yes.
PEREZ
That's Palacio de Santa María de la Purísima Salvat Romero.
AMELIA
You mean we're almost there?
PEREZ
We'll be in Monterosa in twenty minutes. (YAWNS)
ALVINA
And we really can't get a message to your contact in Russia?
PEREZ
Unfortunately not. He only speaks to me in my dreams.
ALVINA
He... What?!
PEREZ
He speaks to me in my dreams.
ALVINA
You really think this is a time for jokes?
PEREZ
It's not a joke.
ALVINA
Hang on hang on hang on hang on. All this... the president wanting to fake the revolution and steal your identity, the insects... you know all this because of a... dream? We're acting based on a dream?!
PEREZ
Yes! Isn't it incredible.
ALVINA
I'm out. I'm not doing this. Just forget it. Leave me here at the roadside.
AMELIA
Alvina!
ALVINA
What? You really think someone is communicating with him in his dreams?!
AMELIA
Well...
ALVINA
Oh. Of course. You and your (SARCASTICALLY) "telepathic fetus." Tsk.
PEREZ
All the information I've received in my dreams so far has been accurate. The ambush in Villa Topacío, the Russian insurgent posing as a bomb expert-
AMELIA
I believe you Pablo.
ALVINA
Fine. (UNDER HER BREATH) Time to say goodbye to sanity once and for all. (TO AMELIA) So what's the plan?
AMELIA
We have to get to Ant before he enters the palace. If we can find a way to speak to him he'll help us.
ALVINA
You think so?
AMELIA
Yes. He owes us a favour. We helped him disappear.
ALVINA
He ended up in the hands of the Russians.
AMELIA
Not our fault!
ALVINA
Yes but-
AMELIA
Stop being so pessimistic Alvina. We can do this.
PEREZ
Yes! We can do this!
ALVINA
Ok. We can do this.
A BUS HOOTS.
AMELIA
Look at that jerk.
ALVINA
What the- What's he doing?
(EVERYONE OVERLAPPING)
AMELIA
Savannah watch out! There's a bus!
ALVINA
Road hog!
PEREZ
(IN SPANISH) Jesus Christ!
SAVANNAH
(IN SPANISH) Shit!
AMELIA
Brake!
PEREZ
Ahhhhhhh!
SAVANNAH
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!
SAVANNAH SLAMS THE BREAKS BUT IT’S TWO LATE. COLLISION. THEN SILENCE. WE HEAR THE WHEELS OF THE UPTURNED JEEP SPINNING AND THE CRACKLE OF FLAMES.

EPILOGUE.
AN AIRFIELD IN PANARAGUA. THE PRESIDENT STEPS OUT OF HIS JET.
JULIO
Ah! Panaragua! I am back, and this time I'm here to stay! (LAUGHS) Where's the insect man?
ANT
I'm here. I hope the leaf-rolling weevils made it intact. We're counting on them to make your hair shine.
GUARD
(RUNNING UP TO THEM, OUT OF BREATH) Sir! Sir!
JULIO
What?!
GUARD
(REALIZING HIS MISTAKE) Sorry! I mean Presidente Julio Che Rodriguez Alvarez de la Fuente, Major General of the Panaraguan Freedom Army of 1972.
JULIO
I should have you executed for disrespect!
GUARD
I have urgent news!
JULIO
It will wait until we reach the palace.
GUARD
You need to hear this! It's about Pablo Perez Garcia.
JULIO
What about that cockroach?
ANT
Cockroaches do not deserve the bad reputation get, they're actually-
JULIO
Shut up!
(TO THE GUARD) What about (SPITS IT OUT) Pablo Perez Garcia?
GUARD
He's... dead.
JULIO
What?
PAUSE
JULIO
How?!
GUARD
Car crash.
PAUSE
JULIO
Are you sure about this?!
GUARD
Without a doubt. Collision with a bus. Four corpses retrieved from the wreckage. Perez, his assistant and two unidentified women.
