How did the Russian billionaire's girlfriend catch up with him?


After he ditched her at the fight and presumably took his private plane with his sons to rendezvous with the Antonov?

Forgive me if I missed something, I do other things while watching tv/movies.

The fight was at the MGM Grand(if I'm not mistaken). They seemed to have a room there as well and, if you recall, there is a scene of both of them in the room when Yuri is calling Jackson to go pick up his sons(the same scene where she's telling Yuri to get the clothes for the dog too and he's ignoring her).

I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.

No, I must have missed that scene.

So you're saying that she was with Yuri the whole time despite the fact he appeared to walk out on her at the fight? Did he just walk out at the fight to make arrangements but then caught up with her shortly later?

Now I think about it was it only his sons that boarded the private plane to meet their father and his entourage (Yuri and the girl and the Antonov) where the fight was (Vegas?)?

As I said, the fight appeared to be hosted at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena and Yuri and Tamara likely had a room at the hotel as well. So, even though he walked out on her at the fight, she could still have just went right back to their room after he left i.e. she caught up with him.

And, yes, you are right. His sons were at his mansion in Los Angeles at the time and he called Jackson(the scene I referenced where Tamara is bugging him about getting clothes for the dog) to go pick them up and take them to the local airport where they'd be flown to Vegas to be with him. Unfortunately, his personal jet gets stuck when the earthquakes start hitting Vegas and they have to steal the Antonov to escape.

BTW, the Antonov(and sports/luxury cars therein) weren't owned by him in case that was unclear. It just happened to be in Las Vegas because it was transporting the cars to be shown in the Las Vegas Auto Show.

All clear now, many thanks. I did get the impression the car they drove out of the plane belonged to him though, because he knew to use his voice to start it. Maybe he just had one himself.

I doubt he owned a Bentley considering he was portrayed as a bit of a cheapskate(such as asking for a discount and then paying in installments for Tamara's boob job). lol Still wouldn't have stopped him from window-shopping though. ;D

I'm late but maybe you'll still read it.
As far as I remember one of his sons mentioned that the Russian bought one of the Bentleys but cancelled the order when he found out what was about to happen soon.

Thanks, I was wondering how they knew so much about the cars.
