Intelligence (2006) s01e02 Episode Script
A Champagne Payday
It was a good job.
How'd it go down? OK.
Good.
You saw the paper? Yeah.
I saw that already.
So, who did you end up using for the job? Come on.
You don't ask that.
No hitches.
No problem.
OK.
Like I said, you guys did a good job.
Here's a couple of bottles of champagne.
W-Why? What's happening? Well, there's a little bit of a hitch on my end.
OK? I can't pay you guys the full fee.
Not till next week.
Tell me this is a joke.
We gotta be paid, Mike, tonight.
Airfares, hotels.
We're paying out of our own pocket cos you said jump! This is bullshit! Look, it's no big deal, OK? I got a cash job coming up.
I'll be able to pay you Sunday.
This is bullshit, Mike! Uh, yes, hello.
It's James Reardon, Stella Reardon's father.
She's a grade eight student.
Class 803.
Yes, Mrs Walters' class.
Yeah, I was hoping to get a message to Stella if I could.
Hey! Phone your pal in Costa Rica.
I still haven't received the invoices.
Hi.
Yeah.
I'd like to uh, get a message to Stella to call me on her lunch hour at 12:15.
I'll be on my cell.
Yeah.
Yes, it's her father.
Thank you very much.
OK.
Bye-bye.
Please call the guy.
I know you got a lot on your mind but I really need his paper.
Yeah, I'm on it.
I'll call him on the way.
What about the bank machines? How we doing? I'm talking to Vic today.
You'll need your own security company.
I don't think it'll work without your own operation.
OK.
I'm on it.
I really am.
All right.
Good.
See you.
Later.
Get up.
Come on.
Get up.
We gotta talk.
Jesus Christ, Jimmy.
What's going on? We gotta talk.
Sorry.
Jesus.
What time is it? 9:30.
Come here.
What's the matter? The cops are looking at you for Bill's murder.
So? So, you gotta tell me how you did it so I can cover you.
I should have done it myself.
I realise that now.
I owe you for taking care of that for me.
Thank you.
I didn't do it.
There is gonna be a full-on investigation with professionals.
I didn't do it! Did you hire a couple of local guys down there? Please tell me you didn't go down yourself.
I didn't go.
I was up at the lake all weekend.
Ask Rebecca.
People saw you there? Yeah.
I had a big, huge bonfire.
At least 50 people saw me dancing naked.
Local cops came.
They took my name.
I got cops as witnesses! Jesus, man.
Look at this place.
Look at it.
You gotta straighten up.
You gotta start looking after yourself.
I am, man.
I'm just taking some time out to enjoy my life.
You should too.
I worry about you.
You work too hard.
You take too much on your shoulders.
You got a lot going on.
You got domestic disputes You gotta take some time out to smell the coffee.
Remember Granddad's farm? For sure.
How'd you like to go out there? Fix it up? Put it back in shape? Be a good retreat, wouldn't it? Oh, yeah.
Kids will love spending time out there.
Oh, man.
It'd be great for the kids! Let's do that! Let's do that.
OK.
So, did you hire local guys down there, or what? Oh, God.
No, man.
I'm telling you.
You got jack.
He probably flashed too much cash.
Jimmy, I'm telling you.
I didn't kill the guy.
I've left the key with the manager.
Put everything in boxes and straight to storage.
Everything.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hey.
How you doing? Me personally? Not so good.
My informant caved.
Said we coerced him.
Longest, most expensive investigation I've ever run just went down the toilet.
Ouch.
Three years.
Six million dollars.
And no charges.
So, if you're offering me a job, I'm listening.
If I ever land anything, you're hired.
What's going on? Being sandbagged by Deakins.
He's had a station out here.
He's insisting I bring him on board to co-handle Reardon.
If I do, Reardon bolts.
It's insane bullshit.
He's convinced the Intel committee I need help handling Reardon.
Say you can't let him co-handle, but you'd put a UC operator on Reardon.
Where am I gonna find an operator that can infiltrate Reardon? See who's out there.
There's nobody out there.
There's always somebody.
I'll have a look through my books.
See if there's anybody good.
One more thing.
Yes.
One of Reardon's growers was killed in Coombe Locks.
The bikers might be starting a war.
You hear anything? I heard they're putting a push on in the island.
I'll look into it.
Thanks for the advice.
Yep.
Oh, and Mary don't screw up.
I need the job! I'll try not to! Shit! I'll be right there! Oh, shit.
Forgot I got a big run to do today.
Get up! Ow! Stop it! Jesus! Jim! Hi.
You wanna talk to me, go through the lawyer.
I don't have a lawyer.
Why don't you lend me one? I can't believe you're putting Stella through this.
We shouldn't be using her to attack each other.
So, you're gonna let me see her, then? I'd like to try and work it out.
Am I gonna get to see her, or not? That depends.
On what? On you being nice.
Look.
I'd like to I'd like to Get together for dinner or something, where we can get to talk.
I'll think about it.
Well, I'd really like that.
Call me.
OK? Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
You know Rick and Larry.
Hey.
How you been? You know how it is.
Doing pretty good.
Talking about these guys taking over Bill's operation.
Not too busy already? I think we can handle it! You got capacity somewhere? Or are you looking to start a new place? You can't use Bill's grows, they're all burned.
We got the capacity.
We'll run a bigger facility.
Half a dozen grows in the warm.
We got it going on.
We're massive.
Wanna take a look at what we got? It's a big organic farm.
No, I just need to know you can keep up with the production.
I don't wanna lose my distribution.
We're close.
Two, three weeks.
First bud off the plants, 12, 13 weeks after that.
Sosix months.
Mm.
You guys work out a deal? Ross is on it now.
We got another problem we may need a little help with.
Sitting on a ton of cash.
Wondering if uh, you could do something there.
Mm.
What are we talking about? Six million in twenties.
How much you want on the dollar? We'd take90 cents.
Mm, 80.
Can't do 90.
Well, can you do 85? It's a pain in the ass.
I'm only making 5% after costs.
Done.
Done.
All right.
I gotta run.
You guys work out the deal.
Yeah.
I'd love to see that place before you put in a grill.
All right.
Excuse me, Inspector.
I got something curious on a wiretap.
You might wanna take a look.
What tap are we talking about? Give us a minute? Morning, Inspector.
Morning, Lee.
Guy in the stock market, Randy Bingham, uh, stock fraud.
Bingham the pump-and-dump artist.
Yeah.
Listen to this.
I got it cued up for you.
They're talking about a diamond play.
This is Bingham talking.
'I got no idea when we could offer the stock.
Depends on the munitions shipment.
It's hung up at the harbour.
When we can clear that, they get delivery.
We can get our grants and permissions.
' That's it.
This guy is into gun-running all of a sudden.
Sounds like it.
Who do we have in that office? Casey, the assistant.
They just got married.
All right.
Keep me posted, yeah? I've got Mr Mallaby from CSIS waiting in your office.
Inspector.
It'll have to wait.
One minute, it's urgent.
Wanna update you on the Michael Reardon situation.
Quickly.
When we were talking with Bill Sommers about the Reardon operation he said he received death threats from Reardon's brother, Michael.
That's who he thought would take the contract out on him.
It's in the transcripts.
Have the Mexicans found any sort of connection there? Not yet.
I spoke with a Canadian down there who picked Bill up at the airport and was seen dropping him off at the hotel.
But he's been cleared of any direct involvement.
We'rechecking his associations.
How do you wanna handle this? I'd like to put an undercover operator on Michael.
I don't think we're quite there yet.
What do I tell the Mexicans? They're ready to send somebody here to start poking around.
I'll think about it.
In the meantime, put some conventional surveillance on Michael, yeah? Thank you.
Just observation.
No contact.
Yeah? No contact.
I'll get right on it.
OK.
We got the go-ahead.
Just pulled into a tow yard - Granville Towing.
Got it.
'Yeah.
' It's Ted.
What do we know about Granville Towing? Yeah, it's uh, biker affiliated or something.
Do I need it today? What the hell do you think?! Jesus Christ.
I need a list of all available UC agents across the country immediately.
And Ted is not to hear about this, yeah? Hey there, James.
Hey, Mary.
Thanks for coming down.
You're out here permanently now? I'm here for a few months, anyway, until we get you installed upstairs.
Not long now.
Great.
Perfect.
I have a lot of questions.
Well, I understand you're having troubles with our Mr Deakins.
He wants to co-handle my informant and my informant won't have it.
He says he'll walk.
Deakins is insisting.
Well, unfortunately, I think this murder of Reardon's informant probably gives Deakins a good argument for closer supervision.
I have a strategy.
Can I run it by you? See if this might satisfy the committee? Please.
I can't put in a co-handle.
Reardon will bolt.
I CAN put a UC agent in with him.
This will kill two birds.
One - it puts someone in place to confirm and corroborate any intelligence we get from Reardon.
Two - it has the practical advantage of having a separate source.
He may give extra intel Reardon isn't providing.
Yeah.
Do you have an operator ready to go? Just trying to work out the dates.
I think that would satisfy the committee.
They'll sign off on that.
And Deakins? If you have an operator on Reardon, I'll back him off.
I'll let him know.
Excellent.
Thank you.
Did Arthur mention our internal problem? You have a mole here in the OCU.
Yeah.
And you wanna try and turn him? Uh-huh.
It's a long-term plan.
Is he vulnerable? Everybody has something to hide.
Business is booming.
You kidding? It's a monster.
We just got the contract for the university.
Got the city colleges, couple of malls downtown.
I'm buying a company in Calgary, looking at another in Winnipeg.
Can't hardly keep up.
My only complaint is it's growing so fast, the goddamn unions are trying to organise me.
Success is a bitch, huh? What's the local? Local 59.
Tell me you got a friend over there.
I got a friend over there.
Really? Who? Told you that, he wouldn't be my friend any more.
Well, can you put in a word for me? Get the bastards off my back.
Give them a little grease if they need it.
I'll see what I can do.
I got something you can do for me.
Anything.
What's your relationship with your bank like? Good.
They love me.
I'm golden.
Good cos I'm getting into the cash machine business.
ATMs.
What you need me to do? Front the operation.
It's a natural expansion of what you're already doing.
You'd just be dispensing cash along with the sandwiches.
What's my in? Talking percentage, between five and seven per cent on the buck.
Per machine? Yeah.
Think about that.
I'll talk to my friend over at Local 59 for you.
Grab a couple of cases on the way out.
Roger Westham from Toronto Drug Squad on line two.
Roger.
Mary.
I'm in a huge bind here.
I need a UC operator asap.
Please help me out if you can.
Somebody street.
Male, female, either.
Nobody.
Nobody in the entire country? If anybody, anybody at all, becomes suddenly available, you'll let me know, yeah? You too.
Shit.
Vancouver east of the border crossing's 195 miles.
You stay 15 clicks ahead of me, running for radar.
Every five clicks you beep me all clear.
Keep your eye open for choppers.
It shouldn't be a problem but it's been known to happen.
So you just run me to the border.
We never cross the border? We don't get near it.
Just go up the road.
Right.
I got my smokes.
I got my tins.
Let's go! Cross the traffic light after the bridge, that's when you reset the odometer back to zero.
What time you got? I got 11:07.
11:07.
Yeah.
It might be a little slow.
Don't mess with me.
You got my beeper, my cell, right? I am ready, Freddy! No worries.
That's him.
OK.
Let's go.
Where's Mike? Uh.
I dunno.
He said he had something to do.
Is he coming in, or what? He said he'd be here.
What happened to that case of champagne? You go through that last night? I dunno.
We could've.
We had that stag in.
They got out of control.
Put an order in, will you? How'd it go? Good.
Vic's having a union problem.
We gotta give Willy over at Local 59 a call.
Sort that out.
Yeah.
Phil's waiting in the office.
He is? I'll be upstairs.
Phil.
How we doing? I do foresee a couple of problems if we do end up taking it to court.
If you, or I, stand up before a judge and say your ex is unfit - she's an addict, she brings home men and screws 'em next door to your daughter's bedroom, whatever, her lawyers are gonna do the same to you.
All your dirty laundry's gonna be strung up, with a few plain clothes police detectives in the back taking notes! Worse that could happen is the courts find neither of you suitable.
So, what can I do? I want custody.
I know.
Any possible way you and Francine can work this out one-on-one? No.
If I pay her off, it's temporary.
It's just a matter of time before she escalates again.
I want a permanent solution.
You told me she came to you looking at getting into dealings, right? Yeah.
And she's from Britain, right? Yeah.
OK.
If she was charged with a serious crime, let's say cocaine trafficking, we can have her deported.
No.
I can't have her deported! She's my kid's mother! It's not like I don't want Stella to ever see her again.
I just I gotta have sole custody.
So, short of you severing all your current relationships and affiliations and becoming a model citizen, I'm gonna suggest you try and reach something informal with Francine, OK? Somebody with your background and associations, is not gonna come off as a suitable custodial parent.
Understand? Mm.
Just think about it.
I spoke with Immigration.
Your mother and daughter's visas are on someone's desk as we speak.
How long will it take? Within the month we should be hearing positive news.
I know it needs to happen.
Everything's in motion.
Thank you.
What can I do for you? I need a stripper.
Someone new preferably.
No history here.
She needs to be available for a fairly long-term arrangement.
I have a few girls who strip on the side.
She's gonna be under scrutiny.
If she's still working as an escort, if she's not shy about selling sex, that's what I need.
And in exchange they would receive legal status? We can do the same for her as we're doing for you.
She should be fairly young.
If she's new to town, even better.
Do you wanna meet a few girls? I'd prefer if you could screen the candidates.
I'd meet your top two.
And when would you need her? Now.
Today.
Today.
Did you see the girl on the way in? Uh, she's on the right.
Christina.
She speaks very good English.
She's a very good dancer.
She started with the Bolshoi.
Haven't they all? They were going like crazy.
It's hard to keep up.
Franchises are sprouting up everywhere.
How you doing, buddy? Thanks for coming.
Thanks for the wedding gift.
Remember what I told you.
You bet.
Bye.
Looking for a good stockbroker? That's your man.
Randy Bingham.
You get money with that guy, you get it back real fast.
He's in big trouble with the bikers.
He messed up a lottery ticket scam.
Oh, yeah? Good to know.
Anyway, my point is uh, I'm doing good.
So, what's going on with you? You want some cash machines in here? You could make a nice percentage just for having them in the corner.
How long you been into this? Just helping out a friend.
It's a good service.
Customers love it.
You do nothing.
Pick up a nice figure just for having them sitting there.
What's the figure? Depending on the volume, maybe about a grand a day.
Each machine? That's right.
Here.
The guy's name is Vic.
He's a good guy.
Clean.
No record.
I'll have him give you a call if you want.
You'd be doing business with him.
I'm just setting it up.
How many of these things you got? As many as you can take.
Give him a call.
He'll come and see you.
Yeah? So, you're loading these machines.
Of course you are.
OK.
I got it.
I got it.
I understand.
Sounds like a good thing.
Does, doesn't it? I'm at 109.
You got a cruiser doing a radar check at 109.
'That's 109.
' 'Got it.
' Bingham has a diamond property in the Congo, which is now in the middle of some pretty big turmoil.
Several factions are fighting over who controls what territories.
Their property is smack-dab in the middle.
They apparently have an option deal with the coalition government, which is pretty shaky.
There was an attempted coup last week.
My guess is they promised a load of arms to seal the deal.
They got a boat hung up in transit.
They can't get the diamond stock floated on the exchange until the government settles.
I believe there's a UN embargo against shipping arms there.
There is.
I guess these guys have contacts willing to work around it.
OK.
Let me know if anything else comes up on the wire.
Ted's waiting.
Thank you.
Yes, Ted.
Come in.
Any word on Michael Reardon? Heading east on Highway One.
What's he up to? No idea.
I'm not gonna be able to authorise an undercover operator on him, even if we had one.
Not at this point.
It's premature.
I'm not saying never.
I'm saying not now.
I don't want us tripping over ourselves.
Just let me know when.
We could contract out to the Americans if we're short-handed.
No, thanks.
Just keep your surveillance on Michael a week.
Maybe you can see an opportunity where we could facilitate putting in an operator.
I'll do that.
One of Reardon's growers got taken off on the island - Colin somebody.
Uh, would Reardon know anything about that we can use? I'll ask.
What do we know? SFA.
Speculation is, the bikers see Reardon as weak.
Trying to hone in on his customers.
Do we have a suspect? Nobody.
Could have been bikers contracted him.
Could have been a disgruntled former employee.
Maybe Reardon took him on himself.
Looking to throw the stink onto somebody else.
If we're lucky maybe they'll start a war, start picking each other off.
Save us a few bucks.
I need a credit facility.
We're acquiring some ships and Jim needs five or six million down.
That sounds doable.
Things are going well? We bought three barges and two tugs last year.
We're looking for two more.
I have a little something for you.
Last time I was here we talked about my grandfather and his bootlegging stories.
I went to the attic and dug through this trunk.
I found a photograph of one of his boats I thought you might like.
Wow.
Would you look at that! This is how it all started.
Uh-huh.
When I was growing up he used to talk about the famous lost load.
He was outrunning this US gunboat.
He put a hole in the hull.
He had to abandon ship carrying 500 cases of Scotch.
I'm sorry, 500 cases of Scotch? It's uh, still out there somewhere.
Well, let's find it.
Oh, shit! Mile 165.
I just got popped by a radar trap.
Can I see some identification, please? There you go.
Hello, Christina.
Come on in.
Thank you.
It's Tina.
Tina.
Mary.
Can I get you something? Coffee, tea, water? Something from the bar? I'm fine.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
I assume Katarina told you a little about what I'm looking for? She did, yes.
You're looking for a dancer.
Someone to report to you the things I see.
Right.
And I don't have to go to court? No.
I will never ask you to make a statement or testify about anything.
As far as you're concerned, we've never met.
We've never spoken.
You've never been promised anything by me or offered any inducements other than cash.
OK.
I like that.
Perfect.
As far as who you are, you're who you are.
Your history is your history.
You're a recent emigre.
You also work for Katarina as an escort.
Everything is as it is in your universe.
ExceptI don't exist.
OK.
What information am I looking for? At the moment, nothing.
All you're looking for right now is a job.
When do I start? What about right now? Any commitments? Nothing.
I have an appointment for my nails.
Fine.
Do your nails.
Then you start.
Mr Fleming? Yes, sir? You can pay this any time in the next 20 days.
Then it goes up.
Drive carefully.
Thank you, sir.
Where are you? Speeding ticket.
Can you believe it?! It's not funny, Mike.
Shit! This is him.
Keep it cool, OK? Did you order already? Yeah.
Get it to go.
I'm gonna eat fast, drive slow.
That way it kinda evens out.
OK.
I'll be watching you.
How you doing today? Good.
Excuse me, miss.
I believe I was here before those two gentlemen.
Go ahead.
He's making up for lost time.
You know what you're having? Yeah, a bad day, thanks to your friend there.
He'll be wanting some fast food.
Funny! Well, I got a couple of questions here.
It says here that the chicken is organic.
Is that true? I believe it is.
How's that done? In the oven.
In the oven.
Not a microwave? No.
Uh, what exactly are the seasonal vegetables? I believe it's carrots and peas.
Carrots and peas.
Not those little, tiny, frozen I think they are.
Agh.
Uh, OK.
Uh, you know what? Let these you guys go.
I'll have another look.
Yeah? Yeah.
No, you go on ahead without me.
I'll catch up.
Hey.
I walked my best friend into you to save his life.
Listen.
I'm sorry about what happened to Bill, all right? We weren't involved.
Michael's involved.
He contracted Raoul and Rosie.
Now he's stiffing them on the payday.
How do you know? Listen, Raoul's looking for Mikey.
And Rosie's crazy.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Hey.
How you doing? Thank you.
OK.
Look, you tell Raoul I gotta talk to him.
I wanna get on top of this before it gets out of control.
Why? Harvey, come on.
Just give me a chance to sort it out, all right? You shouldn't have done that to Bill.
Right.
You promise me.
You tell Raoul to call me.
You know what Bill's hobby was? What? Spiders.
I gotta go back to his place.
They're probably full of 'em.
I'm gonna get bit.
You just tell Raoul I wanna talk to him.
Tell him! Yeah.
Hey.
Where's Mike? Is he in yet? No.
He's not at home.
Rebecca said he had something to do.
What? Ask Rebecca.
Rebecca? Yeah? Who'd Mike leave with? I dunno.
Excuse me.
I'm looking for the manager.
That's me.
You're looking at him.
How can I help you? I'm a dancer.
I'm looking for work.
You're a dancer? I knew that.
You got an agent? I go through the agents.
I don't want to give up the 15%.
For what? You want an audition? Sure, yes.
OK.
When this girl gets off.
You got your own music? Uh-huh.
Give me.
When she gets off, you go on up.
You do a set.
Excuse me.
That's my set.
Yeah.
You're gonna take a break.
You got a costume? Uh-huh.
Good.
We got a dressing room.
You go get into your costume.
When you hear your music, you show us what you got.
OK.
What's your name? Christina.
Tina.
Christina Tina.
A name so nice you have to say it twice! OK.
Go get naked.
Thank you.
Ronaldo.
Ronnie.
Ronaldo.
You got a stage name? Sapphire.
OK, ladies and gentlemen.
Special guest appearance this lunch hour - Sapphire.
Stick around.
See if she sparkles.
Roger Deakins wants a quick word.
Roger.
How are you? Fine.
When am I gonna meet Mr Reardon? He hasn't been able to reply.
Your key informant and you can't make contact? These things happen.
But I'm sure he will.
You'll be the first to know.
I really don't wanna be put off any longer.
Soon as I hear.
Yeah.
'It's Tina.
' How'd it go? I got the job.
I start tonight.
'Good girl.
' It's not professional.
I know.
What does Mike owe you? Ten.
Here.
That makes it 12.
That's for the trouble.
OK.
Thanks.
So, uh, you still need someone to run the grows? Come and see me tomorrow.
You got it.
Thanks.
The broker was talking about the munitions ship again.
Here we go.
This is Bingham.
'.
.
ship is sitting in Panama.
' Who's he talking to? No idea.
'Can we get the load off the boat?' This sounds like the munitions supplier.
And that's it.
I wanna get in the middle of this.
Stay on top of Bingham.
Try and find out who that was he's talking to.
We should apply for a tap on that guy too.
And get his phone records.
Thanks, Roger.
Mallaby.
'James.
It's Mary.
How are you?' Oh, good.
Just settling in to my office.
What can I do for you? 'Did you hear about the munitions ship?' Yes.
'There's been an update.
' We know the ship is stuck in Panama waiting for the crew to get paid.
There's not much we can do about that, other than keep an eye on them.
We're gonna let it go through? 'We have to.
' We can only take action if, and when, they reach the embargoed destination.
That's a little late, no? I'm afraid that's the story.
All right.
I think I'm gonna like this girl.
She's good.
Yeah? Which one? That one right there.
I like her.
I gotta take this.
Can I see the Bingham file a minute? Hello? I need some advice on a ship full of guns.
Hey.
I need a little privacy.
You got a new girlfriend? Sink the ship.
I don't think I can do that.
Where are the guns going? Africa, Congo.
It's an embargo destination.
These guys, whoever they are, smuggling arms is their business.
They know how to get around it.
If I didn't want the guns to get somewhere, I'd call the other side.
Let them know it's coming.
Have them rip it off before it arrives.
Guns still go on the market.
Who's the local guy? He's got a diamond property over there.
Guns are part of his deal.
What's his name? Randy Bingham.
Shit.
You know him? Yeah.
He owes me a lot of money.
Really? I think I could fuck up this deal for you.
Oh.
Let him know he's being watched.
He gets paranoid as hell, starts calling up everybody involved.
You get to know all the players.
I don't want him knowing I'm watching him.
Come at it sideways.
It may not work.
But if you can't catch him, at least you can mess with his shit a little bit.
You wanna tell me how you do this? Uh-uh.
Just be ready by the phones cos he'll be calling up everybody involved, in a panic.
All right? That's it.
Talk to you later.
I dunno, Jimmy.
I don't even know this Bingham guy.
That doesn't matter.
You're a cop.
You wanna ask him some questions.
He'll take the meeting.
OK? Yeah.
Get out! I gotta go! All right! What happened? 'I got a broken axle.
' 'Oh, shit.
' What? 'Officer Friendly just stopped to help me out.
' Aw! I'm coming around.
Oh, shit! Shit.
OK.
Who the hell is this? It's not good.
It's not good.
Pull up.
Is that your phone? OK.
What do you need? Well, some information came to us.
I need to uh, make sure I get it confirmed.
Yeah, sure.
If I can.
One of your business associates, is involved in running narcotics.
I wouldn't know anything about that.
No? He's got it on a boat.
Tied up in Panama.
I wouldn't know about that.
Who are we talking about? Do you know anything about a boat bringing in a load from Panama? My mistake, then.
Well, if you hear anything about something like that, will you give me a call? Yeah, sure.
Hey, you know? I was thinking Tell me, should I buy commodities now, or should I wait? Get some.
Some of them, I'd wait.
OK.
Call me if you can give me a tip on that other thing, huh? Bye.
Phones are heating up.
Bingham's all agitated and making calls.
He's all panicked.
Here we go.
'.
.
a narc came to visit.
Something about somebody I know bringing in a load of dope from a ship that was tied up in Panama.
Who was that? No idea.
We've gotta kill this thing.
At least for now.
Call Perry.
Let him know.
' Sounds like he's pulling the plug on the arms shipment.
Do we know who he's talking to? We will as soon as we look at his phone records.
Stay on it.
Michael Reardon's into something with the bikers.
He stopped by the bikers this morning.
Left in a rental car.
Surveillance are watching the car he abandoned near the US border.
What's he up to? Still no idea.
Maybe if he's doing business with the bikers They got the contract on Bill.
Reardon working with bikers would be new, yeah? Uh-huh? You tell me.
Just keep an eye on Michael for a few more days.
Anybody seen Mike? I need a bartender here.
Where's your brother? I got people, like, dying of thirst.
I haven't seen him.
I need to talk to you.
Tina, can you pour drinks for a while? Yeah.
Six Heinekens for that table.
Champagne for the guy at the front.
Tell me you know how to make a margarita.
I can make a margarita.
Hey.
Check out this new girl.
She's great.
She works the bar too.
I should've told you this earlier, but I had to put out a fire first.
Mike contracted Raoul to do Bill.
Look.
I dunno what to say, except you're gonna have to deal with him.
I know.
Before he takes us all down.
He's out of control.
At least when he was in the joint we had some kind of peace.
What am I gonna do? Ship him out.
You clean him up.
Again.
Jesus.
'I'm at the truck stop with Officer Friendly.
Where are you?' I'm watching the truck.
I'm watching the two guys watching my car.
'We got tailed.
' Oh, yeah.
OK.
So 'So, get out of there!' Do not go back to the truck.
Just go to the can and keep on going.
We're screwed.
What about the load? 'Just forget about the load.
OK? We lost it.
' It's 200lb of double A, Mike.
Look, OK.
I don't care! So, we lost a load.
Just get out of there.
Mary did an in-run around me.
You aware of that? No.
She went over my head to James Mallaby.
Convinced him she didn't need a co-handler with Reardon.
No shit.
He agreed to her putting an operator on him.
When did this happen? Today.
Just got the call.
If she's got Mallaby on her side, there's not much we can do.
Thank you.
Go ahead.
What's going on with the brother? She won't let me touch him.
She's worried about it stepping on her relationship with Reardon.
What if the Americans were to conduct an investigation on him? If they were to take him down, that's nothing to do with us.
What sort of thing are we talking about? We'd have to get him stateside, have him arrested there.
Why don't I look into that? There's dick-all happening here.
You wanna go? Hey! Let's pack it in.
Jim.
Just Just stay here for a minute, OK? OK.
I'll be right back.
Hey, Francine.
Hey, Ronnie.
Long time no see.
It's nice to see you.
Don't cause trouble.
Please.
Hello, Jimmy.
Stella's with my sister if you wanna know.
What are you doing here? Justcame for a drink and a laugh with some of my old friends.
Well, have a good time.
I'm leaving.
All right? You left and stole all my friends from me.
You abandoned me.
Don't go getting all weepy on me.
OK? You abandoned me and left me with nothing.
Can't we please, please, please try and get together again? Please.
Just one more time.
No.
No.
No! We were good together.
I'm gonna call you a cab.
Bring me a tequila! Call a cab for me, please.
Tequila, please.
Double.
Come on! Dance with me.
Come on.
Don't be such an - You're such a Let me go.
Let go of me! Let go of me! Let me go! Chinese was closed.
I got Thai instead.
How'd it go down? OK.
Good.
You saw the paper? Yeah.
I saw that already.
So, who did you end up using for the job? Come on.
You don't ask that.
No hitches.
No problem.
OK.
Like I said, you guys did a good job.
Here's a couple of bottles of champagne.
W-Why? What's happening? Well, there's a little bit of a hitch on my end.
OK? I can't pay you guys the full fee.
Not till next week.
Tell me this is a joke.
We gotta be paid, Mike, tonight.
Airfares, hotels.
We're paying out of our own pocket cos you said jump! This is bullshit! Look, it's no big deal, OK? I got a cash job coming up.
I'll be able to pay you Sunday.
This is bullshit, Mike! Uh, yes, hello.
It's James Reardon, Stella Reardon's father.
She's a grade eight student.
Class 803.
Yes, Mrs Walters' class.
Yeah, I was hoping to get a message to Stella if I could.
Hey! Phone your pal in Costa Rica.
I still haven't received the invoices.
Hi.
Yeah.
I'd like to uh, get a message to Stella to call me on her lunch hour at 12:15.
I'll be on my cell.
Yeah.
Yes, it's her father.
Thank you very much.
OK.
Bye-bye.
Please call the guy.
I know you got a lot on your mind but I really need his paper.
Yeah, I'm on it.
I'll call him on the way.
What about the bank machines? How we doing? I'm talking to Vic today.
You'll need your own security company.
I don't think it'll work without your own operation.
OK.
I'm on it.
I really am.
All right.
Good.
See you.
Later.
Get up.
Come on.
Get up.
We gotta talk.
Jesus Christ, Jimmy.
What's going on? We gotta talk.
Sorry.
Jesus.
What time is it? 9:30.
Come here.
What's the matter? The cops are looking at you for Bill's murder.
So? So, you gotta tell me how you did it so I can cover you.
I should have done it myself.
I realise that now.
I owe you for taking care of that for me.
Thank you.
I didn't do it.
There is gonna be a full-on investigation with professionals.
I didn't do it! Did you hire a couple of local guys down there? Please tell me you didn't go down yourself.
I didn't go.
I was up at the lake all weekend.
Ask Rebecca.
People saw you there? Yeah.
I had a big, huge bonfire.
At least 50 people saw me dancing naked.
Local cops came.
They took my name.
I got cops as witnesses! Jesus, man.
Look at this place.
Look at it.
You gotta straighten up.
You gotta start looking after yourself.
I am, man.
I'm just taking some time out to enjoy my life.
You should too.
I worry about you.
You work too hard.
You take too much on your shoulders.
You got a lot going on.
You got domestic disputes You gotta take some time out to smell the coffee.
Remember Granddad's farm? For sure.
How'd you like to go out there? Fix it up? Put it back in shape? Be a good retreat, wouldn't it? Oh, yeah.
Kids will love spending time out there.
Oh, man.
It'd be great for the kids! Let's do that! Let's do that.
OK.
So, did you hire local guys down there, or what? Oh, God.
No, man.
I'm telling you.
You got jack.
He probably flashed too much cash.
Jimmy, I'm telling you.
I didn't kill the guy.
I've left the key with the manager.
Put everything in boxes and straight to storage.
Everything.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hey.
How you doing? Me personally? Not so good.
My informant caved.
Said we coerced him.
Longest, most expensive investigation I've ever run just went down the toilet.
Ouch.
Three years.
Six million dollars.
And no charges.
So, if you're offering me a job, I'm listening.
If I ever land anything, you're hired.
What's going on? Being sandbagged by Deakins.
He's had a station out here.
He's insisting I bring him on board to co-handle Reardon.
If I do, Reardon bolts.
It's insane bullshit.
He's convinced the Intel committee I need help handling Reardon.
Say you can't let him co-handle, but you'd put a UC operator on Reardon.
Where am I gonna find an operator that can infiltrate Reardon? See who's out there.
There's nobody out there.
There's always somebody.
I'll have a look through my books.
See if there's anybody good.
One more thing.
Yes.
One of Reardon's growers was killed in Coombe Locks.
The bikers might be starting a war.
You hear anything? I heard they're putting a push on in the island.
I'll look into it.
Thanks for the advice.
Yep.
Oh, and Mary don't screw up.
I need the job! I'll try not to! Shit! I'll be right there! Oh, shit.
Forgot I got a big run to do today.
Get up! Ow! Stop it! Jesus! Jim! Hi.
You wanna talk to me, go through the lawyer.
I don't have a lawyer.
Why don't you lend me one? I can't believe you're putting Stella through this.
We shouldn't be using her to attack each other.
So, you're gonna let me see her, then? I'd like to try and work it out.
Am I gonna get to see her, or not? That depends.
On what? On you being nice.
Look.
I'd like to I'd like to Get together for dinner or something, where we can get to talk.
I'll think about it.
Well, I'd really like that.
Call me.
OK? Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
You know Rick and Larry.
Hey.
How you been? You know how it is.
Doing pretty good.
Talking about these guys taking over Bill's operation.
Not too busy already? I think we can handle it! You got capacity somewhere? Or are you looking to start a new place? You can't use Bill's grows, they're all burned.
We got the capacity.
We'll run a bigger facility.
Half a dozen grows in the warm.
We got it going on.
We're massive.
Wanna take a look at what we got? It's a big organic farm.
No, I just need to know you can keep up with the production.
I don't wanna lose my distribution.
We're close.
Two, three weeks.
First bud off the plants, 12, 13 weeks after that.
Sosix months.
Mm.
You guys work out a deal? Ross is on it now.
We got another problem we may need a little help with.
Sitting on a ton of cash.
Wondering if uh, you could do something there.
Mm.
What are we talking about? Six million in twenties.
How much you want on the dollar? We'd take90 cents.
Mm, 80.
Can't do 90.
Well, can you do 85? It's a pain in the ass.
I'm only making 5% after costs.
Done.
Done.
All right.
I gotta run.
You guys work out the deal.
Yeah.
I'd love to see that place before you put in a grill.
All right.
Excuse me, Inspector.
I got something curious on a wiretap.
You might wanna take a look.
What tap are we talking about? Give us a minute? Morning, Inspector.
Morning, Lee.
Guy in the stock market, Randy Bingham, uh, stock fraud.
Bingham the pump-and-dump artist.
Yeah.
Listen to this.
I got it cued up for you.
They're talking about a diamond play.
This is Bingham talking.
'I got no idea when we could offer the stock.
Depends on the munitions shipment.
It's hung up at the harbour.
When we can clear that, they get delivery.
We can get our grants and permissions.
' That's it.
This guy is into gun-running all of a sudden.
Sounds like it.
Who do we have in that office? Casey, the assistant.
They just got married.
All right.
Keep me posted, yeah? I've got Mr Mallaby from CSIS waiting in your office.
Inspector.
It'll have to wait.
One minute, it's urgent.
Wanna update you on the Michael Reardon situation.
Quickly.
When we were talking with Bill Sommers about the Reardon operation he said he received death threats from Reardon's brother, Michael.
That's who he thought would take the contract out on him.
It's in the transcripts.
Have the Mexicans found any sort of connection there? Not yet.
I spoke with a Canadian down there who picked Bill up at the airport and was seen dropping him off at the hotel.
But he's been cleared of any direct involvement.
We'rechecking his associations.
How do you wanna handle this? I'd like to put an undercover operator on Michael.
I don't think we're quite there yet.
What do I tell the Mexicans? They're ready to send somebody here to start poking around.
I'll think about it.
In the meantime, put some conventional surveillance on Michael, yeah? Thank you.
Just observation.
No contact.
Yeah? No contact.
I'll get right on it.
OK.
We got the go-ahead.
Just pulled into a tow yard - Granville Towing.
Got it.
'Yeah.
' It's Ted.
What do we know about Granville Towing? Yeah, it's uh, biker affiliated or something.
Do I need it today? What the hell do you think?! Jesus Christ.
I need a list of all available UC agents across the country immediately.
And Ted is not to hear about this, yeah? Hey there, James.
Hey, Mary.
Thanks for coming down.
You're out here permanently now? I'm here for a few months, anyway, until we get you installed upstairs.
Not long now.
Great.
Perfect.
I have a lot of questions.
Well, I understand you're having troubles with our Mr Deakins.
He wants to co-handle my informant and my informant won't have it.
He says he'll walk.
Deakins is insisting.
Well, unfortunately, I think this murder of Reardon's informant probably gives Deakins a good argument for closer supervision.
I have a strategy.
Can I run it by you? See if this might satisfy the committee? Please.
I can't put in a co-handle.
Reardon will bolt.
I CAN put a UC agent in with him.
This will kill two birds.
One - it puts someone in place to confirm and corroborate any intelligence we get from Reardon.
Two - it has the practical advantage of having a separate source.
He may give extra intel Reardon isn't providing.
Yeah.
Do you have an operator ready to go? Just trying to work out the dates.
I think that would satisfy the committee.
They'll sign off on that.
And Deakins? If you have an operator on Reardon, I'll back him off.
I'll let him know.
Excellent.
Thank you.
Did Arthur mention our internal problem? You have a mole here in the OCU.
Yeah.
And you wanna try and turn him? Uh-huh.
It's a long-term plan.
Is he vulnerable? Everybody has something to hide.
Business is booming.
You kidding? It's a monster.
We just got the contract for the university.
Got the city colleges, couple of malls downtown.
I'm buying a company in Calgary, looking at another in Winnipeg.
Can't hardly keep up.
My only complaint is it's growing so fast, the goddamn unions are trying to organise me.
Success is a bitch, huh? What's the local? Local 59.
Tell me you got a friend over there.
I got a friend over there.
Really? Who? Told you that, he wouldn't be my friend any more.
Well, can you put in a word for me? Get the bastards off my back.
Give them a little grease if they need it.
I'll see what I can do.
I got something you can do for me.
Anything.
What's your relationship with your bank like? Good.
They love me.
I'm golden.
Good cos I'm getting into the cash machine business.
ATMs.
What you need me to do? Front the operation.
It's a natural expansion of what you're already doing.
You'd just be dispensing cash along with the sandwiches.
What's my in? Talking percentage, between five and seven per cent on the buck.
Per machine? Yeah.
Think about that.
I'll talk to my friend over at Local 59 for you.
Grab a couple of cases on the way out.
Roger Westham from Toronto Drug Squad on line two.
Roger.
Mary.
I'm in a huge bind here.
I need a UC operator asap.
Please help me out if you can.
Somebody street.
Male, female, either.
Nobody.
Nobody in the entire country? If anybody, anybody at all, becomes suddenly available, you'll let me know, yeah? You too.
Shit.
Vancouver east of the border crossing's 195 miles.
You stay 15 clicks ahead of me, running for radar.
Every five clicks you beep me all clear.
Keep your eye open for choppers.
It shouldn't be a problem but it's been known to happen.
So you just run me to the border.
We never cross the border? We don't get near it.
Just go up the road.
Right.
I got my smokes.
I got my tins.
Let's go! Cross the traffic light after the bridge, that's when you reset the odometer back to zero.
What time you got? I got 11:07.
11:07.
Yeah.
It might be a little slow.
Don't mess with me.
You got my beeper, my cell, right? I am ready, Freddy! No worries.
That's him.
OK.
Let's go.
Where's Mike? Uh.
I dunno.
He said he had something to do.
Is he coming in, or what? He said he'd be here.
What happened to that case of champagne? You go through that last night? I dunno.
We could've.
We had that stag in.
They got out of control.
Put an order in, will you? How'd it go? Good.
Vic's having a union problem.
We gotta give Willy over at Local 59 a call.
Sort that out.
Yeah.
Phil's waiting in the office.
He is? I'll be upstairs.
Phil.
How we doing? I do foresee a couple of problems if we do end up taking it to court.
If you, or I, stand up before a judge and say your ex is unfit - she's an addict, she brings home men and screws 'em next door to your daughter's bedroom, whatever, her lawyers are gonna do the same to you.
All your dirty laundry's gonna be strung up, with a few plain clothes police detectives in the back taking notes! Worse that could happen is the courts find neither of you suitable.
So, what can I do? I want custody.
I know.
Any possible way you and Francine can work this out one-on-one? No.
If I pay her off, it's temporary.
It's just a matter of time before she escalates again.
I want a permanent solution.
You told me she came to you looking at getting into dealings, right? Yeah.
And she's from Britain, right? Yeah.
OK.
If she was charged with a serious crime, let's say cocaine trafficking, we can have her deported.
No.
I can't have her deported! She's my kid's mother! It's not like I don't want Stella to ever see her again.
I just I gotta have sole custody.
So, short of you severing all your current relationships and affiliations and becoming a model citizen, I'm gonna suggest you try and reach something informal with Francine, OK? Somebody with your background and associations, is not gonna come off as a suitable custodial parent.
Understand? Mm.
Just think about it.
I spoke with Immigration.
Your mother and daughter's visas are on someone's desk as we speak.
How long will it take? Within the month we should be hearing positive news.
I know it needs to happen.
Everything's in motion.
Thank you.
What can I do for you? I need a stripper.
Someone new preferably.
No history here.
She needs to be available for a fairly long-term arrangement.
I have a few girls who strip on the side.
She's gonna be under scrutiny.
If she's still working as an escort, if she's not shy about selling sex, that's what I need.
And in exchange they would receive legal status? We can do the same for her as we're doing for you.
She should be fairly young.
If she's new to town, even better.
Do you wanna meet a few girls? I'd prefer if you could screen the candidates.
I'd meet your top two.
And when would you need her? Now.
Today.
Today.
Did you see the girl on the way in? Uh, she's on the right.
Christina.
She speaks very good English.
She's a very good dancer.
She started with the Bolshoi.
Haven't they all? They were going like crazy.
It's hard to keep up.
Franchises are sprouting up everywhere.
How you doing, buddy? Thanks for coming.
Thanks for the wedding gift.
Remember what I told you.
You bet.
Bye.
Looking for a good stockbroker? That's your man.
Randy Bingham.
You get money with that guy, you get it back real fast.
He's in big trouble with the bikers.
He messed up a lottery ticket scam.
Oh, yeah? Good to know.
Anyway, my point is uh, I'm doing good.
So, what's going on with you? You want some cash machines in here? You could make a nice percentage just for having them in the corner.
How long you been into this? Just helping out a friend.
It's a good service.
Customers love it.
You do nothing.
Pick up a nice figure just for having them sitting there.
What's the figure? Depending on the volume, maybe about a grand a day.
Each machine? That's right.
Here.
The guy's name is Vic.
He's a good guy.
Clean.
No record.
I'll have him give you a call if you want.
You'd be doing business with him.
I'm just setting it up.
How many of these things you got? As many as you can take.
Give him a call.
He'll come and see you.
Yeah? So, you're loading these machines.
Of course you are.
OK.
I got it.
I got it.
I understand.
Sounds like a good thing.
Does, doesn't it? I'm at 109.
You got a cruiser doing a radar check at 109.
'That's 109.
' 'Got it.
' Bingham has a diamond property in the Congo, which is now in the middle of some pretty big turmoil.
Several factions are fighting over who controls what territories.
Their property is smack-dab in the middle.
They apparently have an option deal with the coalition government, which is pretty shaky.
There was an attempted coup last week.
My guess is they promised a load of arms to seal the deal.
They got a boat hung up in transit.
They can't get the diamond stock floated on the exchange until the government settles.
I believe there's a UN embargo against shipping arms there.
There is.
I guess these guys have contacts willing to work around it.
OK.
Let me know if anything else comes up on the wire.
Ted's waiting.
Thank you.
Yes, Ted.
Come in.
Any word on Michael Reardon? Heading east on Highway One.
What's he up to? No idea.
I'm not gonna be able to authorise an undercover operator on him, even if we had one.
Not at this point.
It's premature.
I'm not saying never.
I'm saying not now.
I don't want us tripping over ourselves.
Just let me know when.
We could contract out to the Americans if we're short-handed.
No, thanks.
Just keep your surveillance on Michael a week.
Maybe you can see an opportunity where we could facilitate putting in an operator.
I'll do that.
One of Reardon's growers got taken off on the island - Colin somebody.
Uh, would Reardon know anything about that we can use? I'll ask.
What do we know? SFA.
Speculation is, the bikers see Reardon as weak.
Trying to hone in on his customers.
Do we have a suspect? Nobody.
Could have been bikers contracted him.
Could have been a disgruntled former employee.
Maybe Reardon took him on himself.
Looking to throw the stink onto somebody else.
If we're lucky maybe they'll start a war, start picking each other off.
Save us a few bucks.
I need a credit facility.
We're acquiring some ships and Jim needs five or six million down.
That sounds doable.
Things are going well? We bought three barges and two tugs last year.
We're looking for two more.
I have a little something for you.
Last time I was here we talked about my grandfather and his bootlegging stories.
I went to the attic and dug through this trunk.
I found a photograph of one of his boats I thought you might like.
Wow.
Would you look at that! This is how it all started.
Uh-huh.
When I was growing up he used to talk about the famous lost load.
He was outrunning this US gunboat.
He put a hole in the hull.
He had to abandon ship carrying 500 cases of Scotch.
I'm sorry, 500 cases of Scotch? It's uh, still out there somewhere.
Well, let's find it.
Oh, shit! Mile 165.
I just got popped by a radar trap.
Can I see some identification, please? There you go.
Hello, Christina.
Come on in.
Thank you.
It's Tina.
Tina.
Mary.
Can I get you something? Coffee, tea, water? Something from the bar? I'm fine.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Make yourself comfortable.
I assume Katarina told you a little about what I'm looking for? She did, yes.
You're looking for a dancer.
Someone to report to you the things I see.
Right.
And I don't have to go to court? No.
I will never ask you to make a statement or testify about anything.
As far as you're concerned, we've never met.
We've never spoken.
You've never been promised anything by me or offered any inducements other than cash.
OK.
I like that.
Perfect.
As far as who you are, you're who you are.
Your history is your history.
You're a recent emigre.
You also work for Katarina as an escort.
Everything is as it is in your universe.
ExceptI don't exist.
OK.
What information am I looking for? At the moment, nothing.
All you're looking for right now is a job.
When do I start? What about right now? Any commitments? Nothing.
I have an appointment for my nails.
Fine.
Do your nails.
Then you start.
Mr Fleming? Yes, sir? You can pay this any time in the next 20 days.
Then it goes up.
Drive carefully.
Thank you, sir.
Where are you? Speeding ticket.
Can you believe it?! It's not funny, Mike.
Shit! This is him.
Keep it cool, OK? Did you order already? Yeah.
Get it to go.
I'm gonna eat fast, drive slow.
That way it kinda evens out.
OK.
I'll be watching you.

The broker was talking about the munitions ship again.
Here we go.
This is Bingham.
'.
.
ship is sitting in Panama.
' Who's he talking to? No idea.
'Can we get the load off the boat?' This sounds like the munitions supplier.
And that's it.
I wanna get in the middle of this.
Stay on top of Bingham.
Try and find out who that was he's talking to.
We should apply for a tap on that guy too.
And get his phone records.
Thanks, Roger.
Mallaby.
'James.
It's Mary.
How are you?' Oh, good.
Just settling in to my office.
What can I do for you? 'Did you hear about the munitions ship?' Yes.
'There's been an update.
' We know the ship is stuck in Panama waiting for the crew to get paid.
There's not much we can do about that, other than keep an eye on them.
We're gonna let it go through? 'We have to.
' We can only take action if, and when, they reach the embargoed destination.
That's a little late, no? I'm afraid that's the story.
All right.
I think I'm gonna like this girl.
She's good.
Yeah? Which one? That one right there.
I like her.
I gotta take this.
Can I see the Bingham file a minute? Hello? I need some advice on a ship full of guns.
Hey.
I need a little privacy.
You got a new girlfriend? Sink the ship.
I don't think I can do that.
Where are the guns going? Africa, Congo.
It's an embargo destination.
These guys, whoever they are, smuggling arms is their business.
They know how to get around it.
If I didn't want the guns to get somewhere, I'd call the other side.
Let them know it's coming.
Have them rip it off before it arrives.
Guns still go on the market.
Who's the local guy? He's got a diamond property over there.
Guns are part of his deal.
What's his name? Randy Bingham.
Shit.
You know him? Yeah.
He owes me a lot of money.
Really? I think I could fuck up this deal for you.
Oh.
Let him know he's being watched.
He gets paranoid as hell, starts calling up everybody involved.
You get to know all the players.
I don't want him knowing I'm watching him.
Come at it sideways.
It may not work.
But if you can't catch him, at least you can mess with his shit a little bit.
You wanna tell me how you do this? Uh-uh.
Just be ready by the phones cos he'll be calling up everybody involved, in a panic.
All right? That's it.
Talk to you later.
I dunno, Jimmy.
I don't even know this Bingham guy.
That doesn't matter.
You're a cop.
You wanna ask him some questions.
He'll take the meeting.
OK? Yeah.
Get out! I gotta go! All right! What happened? 'I got a broken axle.
' 'Oh, shit.
' What? 'Officer Friendly just stopped to help me out.
' Aw! I'm coming around.
Oh, shit! Shit.
OK.
Who the hell is this? It's not good.
It's not good.
Pull up.
Is that your phone? OK.
What do you need? Well, some information came to us.
I need to uh, make sure I get it confirmed.
Yeah, sure.
If I can.
One of your business associates, is involved in running narcotics.
I wouldn't know anything about that.
No? He's got it on a boat.
Tied up in Panama.
I wouldn't know about that.
Who are we talking about? Do you know anything about a boat bringing in a load from Panama? My mistake, then.
Well, if you hear anything about something like that, will you give me a call? Yeah, sure.
Hey, you know? I was thinking Tell me, should I buy commodities now, or should I wait? Get some.
Some of them, I'd wait.
OK.
Call me if you can give me a tip on that other thing, huh? Bye.
Phones are heating up.
Bingham's all agitated and making calls.
He's all panicked.
Here we go.
'.
.
a narc came to visit.
Something about somebody I know bringing in a load of dope from a ship that was tied up in Panama.
Who was that? No idea.
We've gotta kill this thing.
At least for now.
Call Perry.
Let him know.
' Sounds like he's pulling the plug on the arms shipment.
Do we know who he's talking to? We will as soon as we look at his phone records.
Stay on it.
Michael Reardon's into something with the bikers.
He stopped by the bikers this morning.
Left in a rental car.
Surveillance are watching the car he abandoned near the US border.
What's he up to? Still no idea.
Maybe if he's doing business with the bikers They got the contract on Bill.
Reardon working with bikers would be new, yeah? Uh-huh? You tell me.
Just keep an eye on Michael for a few more days.
Anybody seen Mike? I need a bartender here.
Where's your brother? I got people, like, dying of thirst.
I haven't seen him.
I need to talk to you.
Tina, can you pour drinks for a while? Yeah.
Six Heinekens for that table.
Champagne for the guy at the front.
Tell me you know how to make a margarita.
I can make a margarita.
Hey.
Check out this new girl.
She's great.
She works the bar too.
I should've told you this earlier, but I had to put out a fire first.
Mike contracted Raoul to do Bill.
Look.
I dunno what to say, except you're gonna have to deal with him.
I know.
Before he takes us all down.
He's out of control.
At least when he was in the joint we had some kind of peace.
What am I gonna do? Ship him out.
You clean him up.
Again.
Jesus.
'I'm at the truck stop with Officer Friendly.
Where are you?' I'm watching the truck.
I'm watching the two guys watching my car.
'We got tailed.
' Oh, yeah.
OK.
So 'So, get out of there!' Do not go back to the truck.
Just go to the can and keep on going.
We're screwed.
What about the load? 'Just forget about the load.
OK? We lost it.
' It's 200lb of double A, Mike.
Look, OK.
I don't care! So, we lost a load.
Just get out of there.
Mary did an in-run around me.
You aware of that? No.
She went over my head to James Mallaby.
Convinced him she didn't need a co-handler with Reardon.
No shit.
He agreed to her putting an operator on him.
When did this happen? Today.
Just got the call.
If she's got Mallaby on her side, there's not much we can do.
Thank you.
Go ahead.
What's going on with the brother? She won't let me touch him.
She's worried about it stepping on her relationship with Reardon.
What if the Americans were to conduct an investigation on him? If they were to take him down, that's nothing to do with us.
What sort of thing are we talking about? We'd have to get him stateside, have him arrested there.
Why don't I look into that? There's dick-all happening here.
You wanna go? Hey! Let's pack it in.
Jim.
Just Just stay here for a minute, OK? OK.
I'll be right back.
