How did Viktor know the key was hiding in the lamp shade?


Earlier in the movie we saw Ivan Danko (Arnold Schwarzenegger) alone in his hotel room hiding the key in the lamp shade and then later in the movie Viktor Rostavili (Ed O'Ross) is in Danko's hotel room and somehow he knows to look up at the light fixture and finds the key in the lamp shade. How did he know the key was hiding there? Was it a lucky guess?

I thought they had worked together before. He knew his habits.

reply

No, they didn't work together before. Captain Ivan Danko was a Russian police officer and Viktor Rostavili was a Georgian (drug lord) criminal. Now, explain to me how Viktor would know Ivan's habits?

reply

It's been a while. I remembered it wrong. My apologies

reply

нет проблем.

This is just a guess based on memory but wasn’t Viktor shown spying on Danko with binoculars?

reply

да!

хорошая память!

Большое тебе спасибо!
