Intelligence (2006) s01e03 Episode Script
Don't Break Your Brother's Heart
Here we go, here we go.
- Well, well, well.
- Hello, Eddie.
I heard you got the top job.
Congratulations.
Can I kiss the ring? Don't bend over yet.
I'm still with organised crime.
How's that going? - It's a mess.
- What can I do? I need some wire hung and it's got to be off the radar.
Have you got what I need? - So, who's the target? - Lee Ching.
He's a wire room operator.
- He's one of yours? - One of mine.
- You've got a mole in your wire room? - Yeah.
House computer, laptop, telephone.
I need them all.
His girlfriend's place, too.
Got the address in here.
I want a bug in the bedroom.
- So, when do you need this? - Yesterday.
- And this is just between us, yeah? - As always.
OK, Queenie.
It's good to be working with you again.
Hello? - It's Casey Whelan.
- Yes, Casey.
How are you doing? Not good.
I can't go home.
I need someplace to stay.
I don't have any money and my husband's out looking for me.
Did he assault you? - Yeah.
- OK, tell me where you are.
Er I'm on Richards at Nelson.
Stay right there.
I'm on my way.
I have to call you during the day.
Ciao.
Ciao.
- Hey, Jim.
- Hey.
- Tina, right? - Yes.
How are you? Not so bad.
- How's business? - Oh, it's very quiet, but it's early.
That was your wife the other night that was here? - Ex-wife.
Her name's Francine.
- She's very beautiful.
Huh.
Well, too bad she's such an evil hag.
Hag? I don't know what it is.
A witch that rides around on a broomstick, cursing people.
Maybe you should wear garlic around your neck to keep her away.
I haven't tried that one.
That's a good idea.
Are you meeting someone, or can I buy you a drink? Yeah, sure, I'll take a drink.
- What are you having? - Vodka soda.
Rebecca? Two vodka sodas.
- Have you seen Mike around? - Not since yesterday.
- Where are you from, originally? - Originally, Odessa.
Then Berlin, Paris, London, all over.
- Jim, come here.
- I'll be right back.
OK, check this out.
Bullet-proof.
Try one on.
I got you one.
You can't even tell you're wearing it.
- Go ahead try it on.
- What do I need that for? You're gonna wear that to the meetings.
If I gotta wear that, I don't wanna be at the meetings.
Suit yourself.
I thought since you'd been on the security thing, - you'd want to wear one.
- They won't bring guns in here.
I like mine, anyway.
Lightweight, sweat-proof, bullet-proof.
- I'm not wearing one of those.
- Here they are.
Hey, gentlemen.
Come on in.
Can I get you guys a drink? I'm sorry.
I didn't know who else to call.
That's all right.
You're supposed to call me.
I'm gonna put you someplace for the night.
I've got a couple of things to do, but I'll come back later.
All right? What happened? He got drunk and high.
We were supposed to be going out to dinner with friends and he didn't like what I was wearing.
He said it was too revealing.
He wants me to dress like a nun and we started fighting.
And he punched me in the head.
I think my tooth's loose.
- You've been married how long a month? - Five weeks.
I can't go back.
I can't live like this.
It's probably the right decision.
I'm sorry.
He doesn't suspect you're working for us? He's just a jealous asshole with a coke problem.
Bad combination.
OK.
Here we go.
It's apartment 1068.
Go on up, have a bath.
There's food in the fridge.
- I'll be back in a couple of hours.
- Thank you.
OK.
Set your odometer to zero.
Exactly five clicks from here, there's an unmarked turn-off to the right.
I want you to take that down one click, park your car, get out, walk up the hill.
I'll be waiting there for you.
- Mr Singh? - Yes? I'm Mary Spalding.
- How can I help you? - Tomorrow, you're going to get a visit - from the Commercial Crime Division.
Am I? They're gonna arrest you and charge you with money-laundering.
- Really? - You got time for a drink? Talk about how you might wanna avoid that? We got a lot of demands in the States that we can't meet.
- Where's your distribution? - East coast, Ontario, Quebec.
- Mostly New York.
- How much could you move? As much as you can give us, man.
- What kind of weed are you moving? - Everything.
Mostly B-grade.
We sell it as double-A in New York.
They don't know the difference.
- We could help you out with B.
- Yeah.
B's good for us.
Start out with 500lb of B.
Let's see where we go from there.
That sounds good.
What's your price? If you take delivery here, 1,750 a pound.
Two grand if we deliver back east.
2,250 if we make a border jump.
1,750? - We'll take it for 1,750.
- All right.
I'll make a couple of calls.
Ronnie'll let you know tomorrow.
- OK.
- OK? All right.
You guys, you wanna stick around? I'll buy you some drinks.
Hey, Phan, how's your brother doing? Haven't seen him in years.
He's in Frisco.
He's been there, like, eight years now.
- Tell him I said hey.
- OK.
Thank you.
Becky, give these guys whatever they want.
I told you this was gonna be a good deal.
They love the price, we don't gotta do the border jump.
Gotta love that.
- You know what's a pain in the ass? - What? The bank machines.
We've gotta set up our own armoured car service and keep them stocked.
Got anybody in mind? I told you it was gonna be a lot of work.
What about Jackie Yi? - Jackie Yi? - Yeah.
You're asking me to sign my own death warrant.
Nobody's gonna find out you're co-operating with me, unless you make the mistake of telling them.
- My family, I can't put them at risk.
- Nobody's at any risk.
Look, the difference between myself and the Commercial Crime Division is they want you in jail, I don't.
All I want is intelligence.
I'm never going to ask you to make a statement or go to court.
- All my charges would be dropped? - Charges dropped.
And you can continue to make a good living.
It's a sweet deal.
But it's only gonna be on the table for the next couple of minutes.
All right, I'll co-operate.
Right.
Good.
So, what's your capacity? How much are you washing through your exchanges? - Ten to fifteen million a month.
- Where's it going? All over the world.
- You said you had three outlets.
- Three, yeah.
Three outlets and you're washing 100 million a year? More or less.
These days, more.
I have to turn people away.
I can't handle all the money they have.
Oh, I'm glad to see you could all make it.
How are we doing? Good.
We're ready to go.
Oh, has everybody got a GPS? Yeah.
We're good.
Follow this trail down five clicks, OK? That's the border, OK? There's a pile of stones on the side of the trail.
I want you to go two more clicks, OK? There's a barbed-wire fence.
Leave the pack-sacks on the other side of the fence.
Are you ready to go? - Yeah.
- OK, andale.
Let's go.
It's me.
Casey? Casey? Oh, shit.
Sheila, I'll be back in a few.
Commercial Crime's pissed off with you.
Uh-huh? They don't like that you screwed up their currency exchange bust.
What are they saying? They're saying what's the point in going after guys like Singh if you're running behind them, making rat deals.
- They'd been watching him for a year.
- I had to make a deal before anybody got in the middle of it and screwed it up.
Hey, promotions come out of cases like this.
They're gonna raise hell.
You've got to understand I'm building an intelligence network.
You've got to understand they don't give a shit.
Singh launders a few hundred million dollars annually and knows who's who.
How much is that worth? They want to send him to jail, nobody learns a thing, you get your promotions, he comes out, does it all again, same old cycle, - what's the bloody point of doing that? - Well, - you've pissed off a lot of people.
- Pass on my regrets.
I don't wanna tell you about that.
I know we've got orders backed up, butmm-hm.
All right.
Oh, wait.
He's just walked in.
Hey, man.
Roy's on the horn.
He said you called him about needing 500lb.
He wants to know if it's the same one you guys talked about on Monday, or if it's a new order.
He's confused.
Hey, man.
No, it's a new order.
Yeah.
I need five boxcars of top-grade cedar, plus another five top-grade fir.
Look, it's the best.
You can get top dollar for it.
Yeah.
It's the best I've seen in a long time.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Ten boxcars in total.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Showroom quality.
Man, I already gave you my best price.
Yeah.
17-and-a-half in the yard, yeah, and delivery on top of that.
Roy can only do 500lb.
Call Henry.
I just talked to him.
He's got stuff.
We'll call him from the road.
I've got to go look at a farm.
We're not changing our price, man.
- Sheila, help me.
- What do you need? One of our informants was in a domestic last night.
- I had to stash her in a safe house.
- Who was this? When I came back, she wasn't there.
I'm worried she went back to her husband.
Call her at work.
It's Casey Whelan.
I'm gonna need to see her today.
I'll be upstairs in a meeting for about an hour.
- Morning, Mary.
- Hello, James.
- How are we doing? - Stealing informants, making enemies.
You should probably make a few calls to apologise for my behaviour.
Anyone in particular? Commercial Crime about this currency exchange character Mr Singh.
They were really looking forward to getting stroked on that one.
I'll call in to wave the flag and sing the anthem.
We're in here.
Good luck.
All right.
Morning, everyone.
For those of you who don't know Mary Spalding, let me introduce you.
Mary's currently director of our downstairs neighbours, the Organised Crime Unit, and soon to be the new head of the Asia Pacific region for CSIS.
Welcome, Mary.
Good morning.
All right.
Exciting times.
We're going to do what we've never been asked to do before.
That is to build a new spy service with a foreign component.
My mandate is the development of human resources for the Asia Pacific region.
My focus is going to be the recruitment of fresh, intelligent sources.
It's the year of the rat.
Informant development has been my focus the last few years at OCU and we'll continue here at CSIS.
Globalisation has been a boon to transnational crime and our underground industries are booming.
As an indication of the kind of intel resources I'll be going after, I have a couple of examples of our latest recruits.
Confidential informant Showgirl.
Showgirl is involved in the importation of women for the purposes of prostitution.
A wealth of intelligence.
She services a high-end clientele through her escort service, including some members of the Foreign Diplomatic Core.
- She's our Mata Hari.
- Excuse me, Inspector.
Most of us here are analysts, and since you haven't mentioned it, I was wondering where intel analysis will fit into your scheme.
Will there be any or are we going to be a service made up entirely of snitches? Good question.
We've got some of the best senior analysts in the country right in this room and I intend to keep you busy.
Busy and, in a slight departure from the past, in the loop, in communicating directly with handlers and agent runners.
I want the left brain talking to the right without having to wait for permission where it all tends to get jammed up.
There's been a communication breakdown and this is where it gets repaired.
Intelligence is a living thing, gentlemen, and we've got to nurture it.
And so, back to confidential informant Rounder.
Rounder has control of up to 10% of the local marijuana trade.
Estimated annual revenue is $300m to $400m.
Rounder's also diversified into related operations of grow-ops, smuggling, money-laundering.
His legitimate industries include shipping, trucking, lumber and fish.
His reach is global.
Hey.
Can you deliver a couple of cars for me? If you've got three, I'll take them all.
Yeah? OK, yeah, I want them.
Yeah.
I need them delivered to the yard.
OK? I'll get back to you.
Bye.
Any chance we might be able to shake up the colour scheme in there? Maybe get a skirt or two.
I know, but there's some very good people in that room.
None of them under the age of 60.
Can we please get some fresh blood? Need analysts with a connection to the community we're trying to understand.
- People from the rest of the globe.
- If you can find them, recruit them.
She's completely out of control.
- She's laying down with the dogs.
- They love her in Ottawa.
Have you spoken with that American friend? I have a meeting.
Let him know she's facilitating major criminal activity and we don't want her.
Something's going on in the OCU with one of her wire room operators.
- Chinese guy, one of the HK boys.
- Who? - Lee Ching.
- I know him, I recruited him.
Mary's isolated him.
She's put him on a completely dead-end job.
- She thinks he's a mole.
- Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Lee Ching? - Does he know? - I don't think so.
That could be sticky.
You have been happy with Christina? How she's doing for you? I'm very happy.
She's working out very nicely.
Good.
I'm happy you like her.
I have good news for you.
Immigration has granted visas for both your mother and your daughter.
- When? Soon? - Immediately.
Thank you! Thank you.
Is there anything else I can do for you? Anything at all.
- A drink, to start? - A drink? Champagne? - Perfect.
- Champagne! Oh, man! - I got lost twice.
- I know.
It's hard to find.
- Good.
- OK, so we're looking at the farm.
There's two stables and the big barn that's been empty for a long time.
We're just gonna take another look around.
He's gonna make a bundle on the sale.
Been here 40 years.
Never put any chemicals, nothing.
Totally organic.
Nothing but shit and hard work in this soil.
OK, so we're gonna build a new roof.
Inside this one, we're gonna build a room within a room.
So, if anybody's doing flyovers with a heat sensor, they don't read the heat.
Oh, OK.
- Well, if you guys like it - We like it.
We're gonna keep a couple of horses out in the field, make it look like it's occupied.
- Say, who's buying this place for us? - I've got somebody lined up for that, but I'll have to let you know in a couple of days.
If it is a go, you guys should figure on building.
- Right on.
- Where are you gonna get your power? - Got that figured out? - It's running off diesel generators, - so nothing changes.
It's sweet.
- Beautiful.
We talked last time about maybe you washing some cash for us.
- How's that looking? - I'm working on it.
Ronnie's in charge of the club.
Some of the dancers are hooking on the side, but mostly, I think they just do business meetings there.
You mentioned there were a couple of Vietnamese in last night.
Yeah.
They met with Jimmy.
I don't know what it was about.
Some kind of deal.
- Have you met Michael Rearden? - He's been around.
Jimmy's wife was in.
She made a fool of herself.
- Francine.
What's going on there? - She's trying to get Jimmy back.
Teasing him, flirting with everybody.
I think he likes me.
Don't get too friendly too fast.
I want you to work there for a while.
Don't worry.
I'll just play around a little.
Good.
That's it.
Your money.
Sign right there.
Let me know if you start seeing any new faces.
- That's it? - That's it.
- Ronnie? - Yeah? - Mike's here.
- Hallelujah.
Mike.
- My office.
- Hey, man, I just ordered a drink.
- Where you been? - Oh, I'm sorry.
Didn't Rebecca tell you? I had an emergency.
Let's go in my office.
I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen to you if you keep this shit up.
What kind of shit is that? That shit right there.
That "who are you to talk to me?" Attitude.
Well, who the hell are you to tell me to clean up the puke in the can? I own half this club.
If it wasn't for the Reardons, you'd have lost this place years ago.
We bailed you out when you were gonna have to sell this joint.
How about showing a little gratitude? All right.
I'll tell you what.
I'll show you gratitude if you show your brother gratitude - for not taking a contract out on you.
- Ooh, like that's ever gonna happen.
You've got to straighten out.
You can't run around town like a wild man.
You know, I could run a club - it's not that hard.
- Listen to me.
- You got a club I can run for you? You're not gonna run a club for me, all right? Let's get back to the subject, all right, which is you.
Okay? And how you gotta quit fucking up.
You know why I gotta do what I gotta do? It's cos - you don't have any faith in me.
- That's 100% right.
Well, would you ever give me a chance to prove myself? - You've had chances.
- One last chance? Your last dozen chances was your last chance.
If you've written me off, why should I listen to anything you have to say? Mike, please, make a promise to me.
- Well, tell me what it is, first.
- You've got to get yourself into rehab before you break your brother's heart any further.
First, it's Francine he's got to deal with.
Two junkies in the family - it's too much for anybody.
OK.
Uh That's the last drink I'm ever gonna have.
OK.
OK, so that's it? How you doing for bread? You need bread? I'll get by.
Thanks for asking.
So, you'll talk to your brother? You'll put his mind at ease? I will.
You know, hey, thanks for giving me a second chance.
- Really.
- OK.
I can't work with you any more.
It's too much pressure for me.
That's fine, if that's your decision.
How are things with your husband? - It's gonna work out.
- You really think so? I think he's just under a lot of pressure at work.
I mean, he's got a diamond mine in Africa that's a mess.
He's paranoid the police are watching him.
- Did he accuse you of that? - No, no.
God, no.
He has no clue.
But he apologised.
He's really, really sorry.
- I don't think it's the right decision.
- I don't care.
- I can't talk to you any more.
- He hit you once.
He'll hit you again.
I don't think so.
I think he learned his lesson.
On the one hand, I want you back in that office so you can keep a pair of eyes on your husband and his associates.
On the other, I want you out of that relationship.
I really have to stop this.
I can't talk with you any more.
I understand.
Whatever happens, if there is a next time, and I hope there isn't, please call me, as a friend.
- Hey.
You got a minute? - You know we've gotta talk.
- You know I wanna change.
- I know.
I know how many times I've said that before, but this time, I'm gonna do it.
Hey.
- Hey.
- You wanna grab a drink later? Sure.
I'm here all night.
Let's head up to the roof.
Mike, you know I wanna help you, but you are eating a hole in my stomach.
Look, I was trying to tell you that I was gonna take care, but you just blew me off.
I'm trying to show you what I can do.
I've got too many people to worry about.
I can't take it any more.
- I can't be babysitting you any more.
- OK, I know.
I understand, OK.
You know what? And all my bullshit, over.
I'm here to help.
And this is the last drink I'm ever gonna take.
- Hey there, captain.
- Hey.
- Hey, I did some digging on your girl.
- Mm-hm? OK.
Mary Spalding.
Inspector Mary Spalding.
Graduated from the academy 13 years ago.
Went directly into undercover work, where she made some really big biker bust in Montreal.
Wiped out the whole chapter.
From there, she went into a joint forces thing in Panama, Caribbean.
Going after the big coke cartels.
From there, she became a handler, then she ran another international operation in Australia.
- Tough girl.
She's been around.
- Any other family? Her dad's still alive, ex-army intelligence.
Retired.
Living in Jamaica.
I guess it's in the blood.
- Brother, two sisters, living out east.
- Where's she living? Nowhere.
She left her old man.
No fixed address at the moment.
I like her.
I don't trust her, but I like her.
Yeah, hello.
- Can I ask you a question? - OK.
Look, I'm going nowhere in this job, right? If I was toretire you got something for me? You're worth way more to me on the job than you ever would be working directly for me.
Well, you've got to make this more worth my while cos It's not like you're hurting for bread.
Come on.
Be a little generous.
Let's just see how this goes for a little while.
- Maybe you'll have a nice Christmas.
- Yeah.
Sorry.
I had to take my daughter to school.
It's all right.
What's your daughter's name, again? Stella.
Stella Emily Reardon.
Do you mind if I smoke? No smoking in the building.
OK.
OK, somy husband - you know who he is, right? I recognise the name.
He's in the shipping business.
- Yeah, shipping marijuana.
- Uh-huh.
Anyway, he's trying to turn Stella against me with all kinds of bullshit stories and lies and I just want to be able to defend myself.
Right.
- Is he going for solo custody? - I don't know.
I just I wanna cover my ass and make the first move.
He's into so much crime, it's not gonna be difficult to convince a judge he's bad news for Stella.
Are you wanting to file a petition with the court for solo custody? - Uh-huh.
- Is that what you want? Well, I want him to realise that if he goes to court over my daughter, the shit is gonna hit the fan.
I know things that would put him away for life.
I was with him when he was still hustling his first million.
I saw everything that happened in the last 12 years.
I was there when deals were made.
I should be recognised for that.
These deals were of a criminal nature? So, why should that make any difference? Are you unhappy with your divorce settlement? I think he got off cheap.
We could always ask the court to look at that again.
That can be part of your request.
Well, I think I deserve something more than I got.
I don't wanna screw him completely.
I just wanna let him know that I'm here and I deserve respect for raising his daughter - while he was out making money.
- Of course.
It's gonna be just like the real deal.
You'll wear uniforms, - pack a handgun, drive an armoured van.
- Two guys per shift, right? One guy loading machines, the other guy watching his back.
You replenish the machines whenever necessary, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
I've got the guns.
When are you gonna go? I'm getting the first dozen machines this week.
I'll be rolling them out as soon as I've got the other pieces in place.
When you're ready, I'll start hiring the guys.
You wanna check them out? I want to know who they are but I don't need to meet them.
Everything else is good? Yeah, so far, except I'm still trying to collect from a guy in Vegas.
He keeps blowing my guy off.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Send somebody down there.
Have them sit in the office all day every day - till he pays.
- I'll send Alfredo.
This is the priority - getting the security guys ready to go.
- I'm already calling someone.
- OK.
See you.
How's things with the old man working out? Good.
I'm living in a safe house.
At least it's on the government's tab.
- It's killing me.
- You wanna come work for me? Nah.
I like not having a box.
Come on.
I need the help.
I need somebody to help me build this CSIS in the way it should be.
You can't play catch-up.
You don't have the money.
We have enough.
Hey, get a grip.
You've got a mole in your OC unit.
That means the entire OC unit could be exposed.
That's all your agents and informants.
So, there's nothing to build at CSIS when you get there.
If I ever make the move.
You should dynamite the whole OC unit and walk away.
- You'd be doing everybody a favour.
- I can't blow it up.
I need it.
It connects me with the street.
Everything starts with the street.
- You can't start top down.
- That's why I can't work for you.
You wouldn't listen to me.
I know.
But it'd be nice to have you around, stay a little bit sane.
So, you dumped the old man, or did he dump you? I guess a little of both.
- He was cheating on me.
- How'd that feel? - Better than I thought it would.
- He offered you a way out.
Yeah.
I don't feel so guilty.
Are you gonna hang some wire for me on my mole or what? What's going on? I've gotta do it right, make sure he doesn't have his own counter-surveillance hooked up.
We're good.
Hey.
Hey, what's happening? I gave Larry and Rick the go-ahead to buy the farm.
- What's that gonna go for? - Ertwo mil with change.
- Whose name's going on the paper? - The organic food guy.
- He's gonna grow some blueberries.
- Nice Hey.
Get everything on over to the yard and No, I'm not gonna be there.
I'm gonna send somebody over.
OK.
Bye.
Hey.
- Lemonade? - Perfect.
Yeah.
Hey.
I need you to get on over to the yard and meet those guys.
Yeah.
Bye.
Wow.
Hey, don't do it.
Nothing but trouble.
Hey, you hear anything on the grapevine about Colin, yet? - No.
I don't think it was the bikers.
- No? I don't know.
- Who else? - Maybe a random shooter.
Nothing's random.
I mean, think about it.
They kill Colin, it leaves a big hole in our production.
They step in, start stealing our people.
Next thing, they're coming at us from someplace else, chipping away.
What's your new girlfriend - the cop - what does she say happened? She doesn't know anything.
She only knows what I tell her.
What's happening with the cash machines? Good.
We're rolling them out pretty quick.
Good.
Go ahead, choose a bag.
- This is B-grade? - That's what you wanted.
- Looks more like A.
- Yeah, it's good.
I might check out a couple more bags, then.
She's putting together a new spy service - revamping the old western region into something called the Asia Pacific region.
I think you've met her.
Yeah, I've met Mary.
We had words.
She's a tough lady.
Yeah.
I'm trying to tread lightly here, but basically, we've got a situation where she's trying to protect a guy that we don't myself and a few others we don't feel should be offered protection.
But we can't touch her.
This is Jimmy Reardon you're talking about.
We can't be seen to be going after him.
We've got a no-go there.
Maybe you guys at the DA could.
He's doing business in the States, yeah.
Stateside market accounts for 60, maybe 70% of everything he grows.
100 mil annually, minimum.
Well, we probably should take a look at him, then.
And there's probably a few other players you could give us a perspective on.
No doubt, no doubt.
I'd be happy to do that.
I take it you're not too eager to see Mary installed as the head of this new unit.
She's - she's the wrong person.
- Who would you like to see in there? There's a couple of candidates myself included.
But that's down the road.
All right.
I'll call my man in Washington.
I'll tell him you've got a bad guy you need out of your hair and we'll see what he has to say.
You've got to be more careful, Mary.
Your enemies list is getting too long, too fast.
Commercial Crime is bitching.
Calling Ottawa, saying you're destroying cases.
Drugs Squad is pissed off.
Homicide thinks you're obstructing the Michael Reardon thing in Mexico.
Whoa, stop.
They have zero evidence.
They're making up excuses.
It's not that I care about you, Mary, I just don't want to see you burn your bridges before you've crossed into the land of job security.
- Good night.
- Good night.
And don't worry about Commercial Crime.
I'm gonna throw them a bone tomorrow.
I'm gonna throw Drugs Squad one pretty soon, too.
It'll be fine.
Our man with the DEA is on board.
- What's the approach? - We haven't worked out the game plan but he understands the situation.
What's his timeline? He knows we don't want Mary installed.
He knows what we need.
Ideally, he'd like to get Reardon while he's in the States.
He's not keen on fighting an extradition battle.
Can we get Reardon across the border? Yeah.
We can make it work.
- Spitting mad when I heard.
- And who wouldn't be, and I apologize.
13 months working on this currency exchange and now I'm left empty-handed.
- I know.
- No, you don't.
It's been a long time since you worked an investigation.
- I'm gonna give you a gun-runner.
- Oh, please.
A stockbroker - Randy Bingham.
He's got a diamond mine in the Congo.
To secure the rights, he has to deliver a shipment of small arms.
That's a bone? Randy Bingham's a bonehead.
There's another job goes along with it.
I'm gonna look into it.
I'll need someone over at CSIS managing it.
We're getting down and dirty.
We're not making prosecutions so we're not playing by the same old rules.
Yeah, I just got a taste of that.
- What would I be doing? - Following the guns.
We find out who's buying, who's selling, who's middling and who's going to war.
It's a big project.
It'll be a change, if you're ready for one.
Let me know.
- How much? - Contract plus benefits.
- You'd start at 150.
- Let me sleep on it.
Yeah.
Hey, it's Vic.
Your bank machines are here.
All right.
Let me set something up.
Talk to you later.
Hey, my bank machines just rolled in.
I'm gonna head over there and get things going.
I just got a call from Leonard.
- Which Leonard? - Alberto Leonard in Calgary.
His distributor got popped in the States and he's got a bumper crop he wants to get rid of fast.
He hasn't got anybody to move it for him.
- Wants to know if we can do anything.
- How much has he got? - 1,000lb of double-A.
- All right.
Let me make a call.
Yeah.
I just heard from a mill up north.
They lost an order down south for ten boxcars of top-grade cedar.
I could do something with that.
When's delivery? - Hang on.
When's the delivery? - Any time? I don't know.
Let me ask.
- What do we want? - Where's the market? East coast.
We're shipping to Montreal.
- Montreal.
- Hey.
You gotta ship it Montreal.
- OK? Good.
Yeah.
Done.
Talk later.
- OK, it's heading out tomorrow.
- Talk to you later.
- All right.
It's done.
That was easy.
We didn't even have to touch it.
You are making us too much money, my friend.
We'd like to make this happen.
Good to hear.
One thing Washington wanted me to ask is who you might have inside the new agency who might be able to share with us what's going on.
Oh.
That'd be me.
I'm not going over there, but I know exactly what's going on, who's getting hired.
We're a small community up here.
Everybody knows everybody and everybody talks.
- Give me a snapshot.
- Well we've never had a foreign spy service or much of a domestic one.
We've always relied on you guys and the Brits.
Somebody in government suddenly woke up and decided we'd better get one fast.
They've opened the wallet.
They're throwing cash round, hiring left and right.
Mary's running the Asia Pacific region.
Is that something that you would be qualified for? Mary's job? I think you'd have our support if you wanted to go for that.
I'd be interested.
I mean, it's gonna take some time to work out.
- I'm working.
- So am I.
I'm trying to get this guy to buy a dance.
- I'll buy one.
- Please.
Do you mind? - Here he comes.
Three's a crowd.
- Maybe later? Hi.
You wanna eat? I'll pick something up.
- Was that your cop friend? - Yeah.
I can tell.
I'm not telling her anything she doesn't already know.
Relax.
I think it's good.
See if you can find out anything about the Mexican case.
Look, I don't know how to say this any clearer than this, but you've got to get Michael out of the club, all right? Out of the city, even better.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
- What now? - You know why he wasn't around? - Driving point for a dope run.
- For who? The guys at the tow yard.
- Hey.
- How are you doing? We gotta find something useful for you to do.
- Useful? Like I'm not useful now? - I think you've got to clean up.
Man, I don't need to go to some rehab joint.
We talked about you going to Grandad's, right? I think it'd be a nice place for you to go.
Just go hang out for a little while, nobody to bother you.
You could do some hunting, some fishing.
- Grandad's? When do you wanna go? - I want YOU to go.
See if you can't go up there and just clean up by yourself.
- Are you sending me up to the island? - Yeah.
Cos if you can't clean up by yourself, - I gotta help you.
- Let me think about it.
- You know, that guy took a quick leak.
- What? Well, he went in the can.
Five seconds later, he's back out.
Can we think about it? You know, I don't need rehab.
I can deal with it.
I didn't order that.
- Vodka and Seven.
- Not me.
I'll take it.
I'm gonna take you up to the island.
Monday, you're getting on the boat.
OK, I'll give it a shot.
Let's go.
Do you see that guy at the table over there? Yeah.
- Did you check him when he came in? - Yeah.
- OK.
- You wanna do my job? Relax.
Vodka and Seven.
What the hell was that? I bring you a drink.
I'm not drinking in front of Ronnie and my brother.
Put it in a big glass with lime, and if anybody asks, it's soda.
You want vodka and Seven, or soda in a glass with lime? - What?! - Seven or soda, which one? - Seven.
If anybody asks, it's soda.
- You make no sense.
Who sent you? Who are you with? Easy.
Someone called the cops.
They're coming.
Give me two minutes with him and he'll give it up.
- The cops are on their way.
- Leave him alone.
Let the cops have him.
Let's go.
- Well, well, well.
- Hello, Eddie.
I heard you got the top job.
Congratulations.
Can I kiss the ring? Don't bend over yet.
I'm still with organised crime.
How's that going? - It's a mess.
- What can I do? I need some wire hung and it's got to be off the radar.
Have you got what I need? - So, who's the target? - Lee Ching.
He's a wire room operator.
- He's one of yours? - One of mine.
- You've got a mole in your wire room? - Yeah.
House computer, laptop, telephone.
I need them all.
His girlfriend's place, too.
Got the address in here.
I want a bug in the bedroom.
- So, when do you need this? - Yesterday.
- And this is just between us, yeah? - As always.
OK, Queenie.
It's good to be working with you again.
Hello? - It's Casey Whelan.
- Yes, Casey.
How are you doing? Not good.
I can't go home.
I need someplace to stay.
I don't have any money and my husband's out looking for me.
Did he assault you? - Yeah.
- OK, tell me where you are.
Er I'm on Richards at Nelson.
Stay right there.
I'm on my way.
I have to call you during the day.
Ciao.
Ciao.
- Hey, Jim.
- Hey.
- Tina, right? - Yes.
How are you? Not so bad.
- How's business? - Oh, it's very quiet, but it's early.
That was your wife the other night that was here? - Ex-wife.
Her name's Francine.
- She's very beautiful.
Huh.
Well, too bad she's such an evil hag.
Hag? I don't know what it is.
A witch that rides around on a broomstick, cursing people.
Maybe you should wear garlic around your neck to keep her away.
I haven't tried that one.
That's a good idea.
Are you meeting someone, or can I buy you a drink? Yeah, sure, I'll take a drink.
- What are you having? - Vodka soda.
Rebecca? Two vodka sodas.
- Have you seen Mike around? - Not since yesterday.
- Where are you from, originally? - Originally, Odessa.
Then Berlin, Paris, London, all over.
- Jim, come here.
- I'll be right back.
OK, check this out.
Bullet-proof.
Try one on.
I got you one.
You can't even tell you're wearing it.
- Go ahead try it on.
- What do I need that for? You're gonna wear that to the meetings.
If I gotta wear that, I don't wanna be at the meetings.
Suit yourself.
I thought since you'd been on the security thing, - you'd want to wear one.
- They won't bring guns in here.
I like mine, anyway.
Lightweight, sweat-proof, bullet-proof.
- I'm not wearing one of those.
- Here they are.
Hey, gentlemen.
Come on in.
Can I get you guys a drink? I'm sorry.
I didn't know who else to call.
That's all right.
You're supposed to call me.
I'm gonna put you someplace for the night.
I've got a couple of things to do, but I'll come back later.
All right? What happened? He got drunk and high.
We were supposed to be going out to dinner with friends and he didn't like what I was wearing.
He said it was too revealing.
He wants me to dress like a nun and we started fighting.
And he punched me in the head.
I think my tooth's loose.
- You've been married how long a month? - Five weeks.
I can't go back.
I can't live like this.
It's probably the right decision.
I'm sorry.
He doesn't suspect you're working for us? He's just a jealous asshole with a coke problem.
Bad combination.
OK.
Here we go.
It's apartment 1068.
Go on up, have a bath.
There's food in the fridge.
- I'll be back in a couple of hours.
- Thank you.
OK.
Set your odometer to zero.
Exactly five clicks from here, there's an unmarked turn-off to the right.
I want you to take that down one click, park your car, get out, walk up the hill.
I'll be waiting there for you.
- Mr Singh? - Yes? I'm Mary Spalding.
- How can I help you? - Tomorrow, you're going to get a visit - from the Commercial Crime Division.
Am I? They're gonna arrest you and charge you with money-laundering.
- Really? - You got time for a drink? Talk about how you might wanna avoid that? We got a lot of demands in the States that we can't meet.
- Where's your distribution? - East coast, Ontario, Quebec.
- Mostly New York.
- How much could you move? As much as you can give us, man.
- What kind of weed are you moving? - Everything.
Mostly B-grade.
We sell it as double-A in New York.
They don't know the difference.
- We could help you out with B.
- Yeah.
B's good for us.
Start out with 500lb of B.
Let's see where we go from there.
That sounds good.
What's your price? If you take delivery here, 1,750 a pound.
Two grand if we deliver back east.
2,250 if we make a border jump.
1,750? - We'll take it for 1,750.
- All right.
I'll make a couple of calls.
Ronnie'll let you know tomorrow.
- OK.
- OK? All right.
You guys, you wanna stick around? I'll buy you some drinks.
Hey, Phan, how's your brother doing? Haven't seen him in years.
He's in Frisco.
He's been there, like, eight years now.
- Tell him I said hey.
- OK.
Thank you.
Becky, give these guys whatever they want.
I told you this was gonna be a good deal.
They love the price, we don't gotta do the border jump.
Gotta love that.
- You know what's a pain in the ass? - What? The bank machines.
We've gotta set up our own armoured car service and keep them stocked.
Got anybody in mind? I told you it was gonna be a lot of work.
What about Jackie Yi? - Jackie Yi? - Yeah.
You're asking me to sign my own death warrant.
Nobody's gonna find out you're co-operating with me, unless you make the mistake of telling them.
- My family, I can't put them at risk.
- Nobody's at any risk.
Look, the difference between myself and the Commercial Crime Division is they want you in jail, I don't.
All I want is intelligence.
I'm never going to ask you to make a statement or go to court.
- All my charges would be dropped? - Charges dropped.
And you can continue to make a good living.
It's a sweet deal.
But it's only gonna be on the table for the next couple of minutes.
All right, I'll co-operate.
Right.
Good.
So, what's your capacity? How much are you washing through your exchanges? - Ten to fifteen million a month.
- Where's it going? All over the world.
- You said you had three outlets.
- Three, yeah.
Three outlets and you're washing 100 million a year? More or less.
These days, more.
I have to turn people away.
I can't handle all the money they have.
Oh, I'm glad to see you could all make it.
How are we doing? Good.
We're ready to go.
Oh, has everybody got a GPS? Yeah.
We're good.
Follow this trail down five clicks, OK? That's the border, OK? There's a pile of stones on the side of the trail.
I want you to go two more clicks, OK? There's a barbed-wire fence.
Leave the pack-sacks on the other side of the fence.
Are you ready to go? - Yeah.
- OK, andale.
Let's go.
It's me.
Casey? Casey? Oh, shit.
Sheila, I'll be back in a few.
Commercial Crime's pissed off with you.
Uh-huh? They don't like that you screwed up their currency exchange bust.
What are they saying? They're saying what's the point in going after guys like Singh if you're running behind them, making rat deals.
- They'd been watching him for a year.
- I had to make a deal before anybody got in the middle of it and screwed it up.
Hey, promotions come out of cases like this.
They're gonna raise hell.
You've got to understand I'm building an intelligence network.
You've got to understand they don't give a shit.
Singh launders a few hundred million dollars annually and knows who's who.
How much is that worth? They want to send him to jail, nobody learns a thing, you get your promotions, he comes out, does it all again, same old cycle, - what's the bloody point of doing that? - Well, - you've pissed off a lot of people.
- Pass on my regrets.
I don't wanna tell you about that.
I know we've got orders backed up, butmm-hm.
All right.
Oh, wait.
He's just walked in.
Hey, man.
Roy's on the horn.
He said you called him about needing 500lb.
He wants to know if it's the same one you guys talked about on Monday, or if it's a new order.
He's confused.
Hey, man.
No, it's a new order.
Yeah.
I need five boxcars of top-grade cedar, plus another five top-grade fir.
Look, it's the best.
You can get top dollar for it.
Yeah.
It's the best I've seen in a long time.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Ten boxcars in total.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Showroom quality.
Man, I already gave you my best price.
Yeah.
17-and-a-half in the yard, yeah, and delivery on top of that.
Roy can only do 500lb.
Call Henry.
I just talked to him.
He's got stuff.
We'll call him from the road.
I've got to go look at a farm.
We're not changing our price, man.
- Sheila, help me.
- What do you need? One of our informants was in a domestic last night.
- I had to stash her in a safe house.
- Who was this? When I came back, she wasn't there.
I'm worried she went back to her husband.
Call her at work.
It's Casey Whelan.
I'm gonna need to see her today.
I'll be upstairs in a meeting for about an hour.
- Morning, Mary.
- Hello, James.
- How are we doing? - Stealing informants, making enemies.
You should probably make a few calls to apologise for my behaviour.
Anyone in particular? Commercial Crime about this currency exchange character Mr Singh.
They were really looking forward to getting stroked on that one.
I'll call in to wave the flag and sing the anthem.
We're in here.
Good luck.
All right.
Morning, everyone.
For those of you who don't know Mary Spalding, let me introduce you.
Mary's currently director of our downstairs neighbours, the Organised Crime Unit, and soon to be the new head of the Asia Pacific region for CSIS.
Welcome, Mary.
Good morning.
All right.
Exciting times.
We're going to do what we've never been asked to do before.
That is to build a new spy service with a foreign component.
My mandate is the development of human resources for the Asia Pacific region.
My focus is going to be the recruitment of fresh, intelligent sources.
It's the year of the rat.
Informant development has been my focus the last few years at OCU and we'll continue here at CSIS.
Globalisation has been a boon to transnational crime and our underground industries are booming.
As an indication of the kind of intel resources I'll be going after, I have a couple of examples of our latest recruits.
Confidential informant Showgirl.
Showgirl is involved in the importation of women for the purposes of prostitution.
A wealth of intelligence.
She services a high-end clientele through her escort service, including some members of the Foreign Diplomatic Core.
- She's our Mata Hari.
- Excuse me, Inspector.
Most of us here are analysts, and since you haven't mentioned it, I was wondering where intel analysis will fit into your scheme.
Will there be any or are we going to be a service made up entirely of snitches? Good question.
We've got some of the best senior analysts in the country right in this room and I intend to keep you busy.
Busy and, in a slight departure from the past, in the loop, in communicating directly with handlers and agent runners.
I want the left brain talking to the right without having to wait for permission where it all tends to get jammed up.
There's been a communication breakdown and this is where it gets repaired.
Intelligence is a living thing, gentlemen, and we've got to nurture it.
And so, back to confidential informant Rounder.
Rounder has control of up to 10% of the local marijuana trade.
Estimated annual revenue is $300m to $400m.
Rounder's also diversified into related operations of grow-ops, smuggling, money-laundering.
His legitimate industries include shipping, trucking, lumber and fish.
His reach is global.
Hey.
Can you deliver a couple of cars for me? If you've got three, I'll take them all.
Yeah? OK, yeah, I want them.
Yeah.
I need them delivered to the yard.
OK? I'll get back to you.
Bye.
Any chance we might be able to shake up the colour scheme in there? Maybe get a skirt or two.
I know, but there's some very good people in that room.
None of them under the age of 60.
Can we please get some fresh blood? Need analysts with a connection to the community we're trying to understand.
- People from the rest of the globe.
- If you can find them, recruit them.
She's completely out of control.
- She's laying down with the dogs.
- They love her in Ottawa.
Have you spoken with that American friend? I have a meeting.
Let him know she's facilitating major criminal activity and we don't want her.
Something's going on in the OCU with one of her wire room operators.
- Chinese guy, one of the HK boys.
- Who? - Lee Ching.
- I know him, I recruited him.
Mary's isolated him.
She's put him on a completely dead-end job.
- She thinks he's a mole.
- Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Lee Ching? - Does he know? - I don't think so.
That could be sticky.
You have been happy with Christina? How she's doing for you? I'm very happy.
She's working out very nicely.
Good.
I'm happy you like her.
I have good news for you.
Immigration has granted visas for both your mother and your daughter.
- When? Soon? - Immediately.
Thank you! Thank you.
Is there anything else I can do for you? Anything at all.
- A drink, to start? - A drink? Champagne? - Perfect.
- Champagne! Oh, man! - I got lost twice.
- I know.
It's hard to find.
- Good.
- OK, so we're looking at the farm.
There's two stables and the big barn that's been empty for a long time.
We're just gonna take another look around.
He's gonna make a bundle on the sale.
Been here 40 years.
Never put any chemicals, nothing.
Totally organic.
Nothing but shit and hard work in this soil.
OK, so we're gonna build a new roof.
Inside this one, we're gonna build a room within a room.
So, if anybody's doing flyovers with a heat sensor, they don't read the heat.
Oh, OK.
- Well, if you guys like it - We like it.
We're gonna keep a couple of horses out in the field, make it look like it's occupied.
- Say, who's buying this place for us? - I've got somebody lined up for that, but I'll have to let you know in a couple of days.
If it is a go, you guys should figure on building.
- Right on.
- Where are you gonna get your power? - Got that figured out? - It's running off diesel generators, - so nothing changes.
It's sweet.
- Beautiful.
We talked last time about maybe you washing some cash for us.
- How's that looking? - I'm working on it.
Ronnie's in charge of the club.
Some of the dancers are hooking on the side, but mostly, I think they just do business meetings there.
You mentioned there were a couple of Vietnamese in last night.
Yeah.
They met with Jimmy.
I don't know what it was about.
Some kind of deal.
- Have you met Michael Rearden? - He's been around.
Jimmy's wife was in.
She made a fool of herself.
- Francine.
What's going on there? - She's trying to get Jimmy back.
Teasing him, flirting with everybody.
I think he likes me.
Don't get too friendly too fast.
I want you to work there for a while.
Don't worry.
I'll just play around a little.
Good.
That's it.
Your money.
Sign right there.
Let me know if you start seeing any new faces.
- That's it? - That's it.
- Ronnie? - Yeah? - Mike's here.
- Hallelujah.
Mike.
- My office.
- Hey, man, I just ordered a drink.
- Where you been? - Oh, I'm sorry.
Didn't Rebecca tell you? I had an emergency.
Let's go in my office.
I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen to you if you keep this shit up.
What kind of shit is that? That shit right there.
That "who are you to talk to me?" Attitude.
Well, who the hell are you to tell me to clean up the puke in the can? I own half this club.
If it wasn't for the Reardons, you'd have lost this place years ago.
We bailed you out when you were gonna have to sell this joint.
How about showing a little gratitude? All right.
I'll tell you what.
I'll show you gratitude if you show your brother gratitude - for not taking a contract out on you.
- Ooh, like that's ever gonna happen.
You've got to straighten out.
You can't run around town like a wild man.
You know, I could run a club - it's not that hard.
- Listen to me.
- You got a club I can run for you? You're not gonna run a club for me, all right? Let's get back to the subject, all right, which is you.
Okay? And how you gotta quit fucking up.
You know why I gotta do what I gotta do? It's cos - you don't have any faith in me.
- That's 100% right.
Well, would you ever give me a chance to prove myself? - You've had chances.
- One last chance? Your last dozen chances was your last chance.
If you've written me off, why should I listen to anything you have to say? Mike, please, make a promise to me.
- Well, tell me what it is, first.
- You've got to get yourself into rehab before you break your brother's heart any further.
First, it's Francine he's got to deal with.
Two junkies in the family - it's too much for anybody.
OK.
Uh That's the last drink I'm ever gonna have.
OK.
OK, so that's it? How you doing for bread? You need bread? I'll get by.
Thanks for asking.
So, you'll talk to your brother? You'll put his mind at ease? I will.
You know, hey, thanks for giving me a second chance.
- Really.
- OK.
I can't work with you any more.
It's too much pressure for me.
That's fine, if that's your decision.
How are things with your husband? - It's gonna work out.
- You really think so? I think he's just under a lot of pressure at work.
I mean, he's got a diamond mine in Africa that's a mess.
He's paranoid the police are watching him.
- Did he accuse you of that? - No, no.
God, no.
He has no clue.
But he apologised.
He's really, really sorry.
- I don't think it's the right decision.
- I don't care.
- I can't talk to you any more.
- He hit you once.
He'll hit you again.
I don't think so.
I think he learned his lesson.
On the one hand, I want you back in that office so you can keep a pair of eyes on your husband and his associates.
On the other, I want you out of that relationship.
I really have to stop this.
I can't talk with you any more.
I understand.
Whatever happens, if there is a next time, and I hope there isn't, please call me, as a friend.
- Hey.
You got a minute? - You know we've gotta talk.
- You know I wanna change.
- I know.
I know how many times I've said that before, but this time, I'm gonna do it.
Hey.
- Hey.
- You wanna grab a drink later? Sure.
I'm here all night.
Let's head up to the roof.
Mike, you know I wanna help you, but you are eating a hole in my stomach.
Look, I was trying to tell you that I was gonna take care, but you just blew me off.
I'm trying to show you what I can do.
I've got too many people to worry about.
I can't take it any more.
- I can't be babysitting you any more.
- OK, I know.
I understand, OK.
You know what? And all my bullshit, over.
I'm here to help.
And this is the last drink I'm ever gonna take.
- Hey there, captain.
- Hey.
- Hey, I did some digging on your girl.
- Mm-hm? OK.
Mary Spalding.
Inspector Mary Spalding.
Graduated from the academy 13 years ago.
Went directly into undercover work, where she made some really big biker bust in Montreal.
Wiped out the whole chapter.
From there, she went into a joint forces thing in Panama, Caribbean.
Going after the big coke cartels.
From there, she became a handler, then she ran another international operation in Australia.
- Tough girl.
She's been around.
- Any other family? Her dad's still alive, ex-army intelligence.
Retired.
Living in Jamaica.
I guess it's in the blood.
- Brother, two sisters, living out east.
- Where's she living? Nowhere.
She left her old man.
No fixed address at the moment.
I like her.
I don't trust her, but I like her.
Yeah, hello.
- Can I ask you a question? - OK.
Look, I'm going nowhere in this job, right? If I was toretire you got something for me? You're worth way more to me on the job than you ever would be working directly for me.
Well, you've got to make this more worth my while cos It's not like you're hurting for bread.
Come on.
Be a little generous.
Let's just see how this goes for a little while.
- Maybe you'll have a nice Christmas.
- Yeah.
Sorry.
I had to take my daughter to school.
It's all right.
What's your daughter's name, again? Stella.
Stella Emily Reardon.
Do you mind if I smoke? No smoking in the building.
OK.
OK, somy husband - you know who he is, right? I recognise the name.
He's in the shipping business.
- Yeah, shipping marijuana.
- Uh-huh.
Anyway, he's trying to turn Stella against me with all kinds of bullshit stories and lies and I just want to be able to defend myself.
Right.
- Is he going for solo custody? - I don't know.
I just I wanna cover my ass and make the first move.
He's into so much crime, it's not gonna be difficult to convince a judge he's bad news for Stella.
Are you wanting to file a petition with the court for solo custody? - Uh-huh.
- Is that what you want? Well, I want him to realise that if he goes to court over my daughter, the shit is gonna hit the fan.
I know things that would put him away for life.
I was with him when he was still hustling his first million.
I saw everything that happened in the last 12 years.
I was there when deals were made.
I should be recognised for that.
These deals were of a criminal nature? So, why should that make any difference? Are you unhappy with your divorce settlement? I think he got off cheap.
We could always ask the court to look at that again.
That can be part of your request.
Well, I think I deserve something more than I got.
I don't wanna screw him completely.
I just wanna let him know that I'm here and I deserve respect for raising his daughter - while he was out making money.
- Of course.
It's gonna be just like the real deal.
You'll wear uniforms, - pack a handgun, drive an armoured van.
- Two guys per shift, right? One guy loading machines, the other guy watching his back.
You replenish the machines whenever necessary, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
I've got the guns.
When are you gonna go? I'm getting the first dozen machines this week.
I'll be rolling them out as soon as I've got the other pieces in place.
When you're ready, I'll start hiring the guys.
You wanna check them out? I want to know who they are but I don't need to meet them.
Everything else is good? Yeah, so far, except I'm still trying to collect from a guy in Vegas.
He keeps blowing my guy off.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Send somebody down there.
Have them sit in the office all day every day - till he pays.
- I'll send Alfredo.
This is the priority - getting the security guys ready to go.
- I'm already calling someone.
- OK.
See you.
How's things with the old man working out? Good.
I'm living in a safe house.
At least it's on the government's tab.
- It's killing me.
- You wanna come work for me? Nah.
I like not having a box.
Come on.
I need the help.
I need somebody to help me build this CSIS in the way it should be.
You can't play catch-up.
You don't have the money.
We have enough.
Hey, get a grip.
You've got a mole in your OC unit.
That means the entire OC unit could be exposed.
That's all your agents and informants.
So, there's nothing to build at CSIS when you get there.
If I ever make the move.
You should dynamite the whole OC unit and walk away.
- You'd be doing everybody a favour.
- I can't blow it up.
I need it.
It connects me with the street.
Everything starts with the street.
- You can't start top down.
- That's why I can't work for you.
You wouldn't listen to me.
I know.
But it'd be nice to have you around, stay a little bit sane.
So, you dumped the old man, or did he dump you? I guess a little of both.
- He was cheating on me.
- How'd that feel? - Better than I thought it would.
- He offered you a way out.
Yeah.
I don't feel so guilty.
Are you gonna hang some wire for me on my mole or what? What's going on? I've gotta do it right, make sure he doesn't have his own counter-surveillance hooked up.
We're good.
Hey.
Hey, what's happening? I gave Larry and Rick the go-ahead to buy the farm.
- What's that gonna go for? - Ertwo mil with change.
- Whose name's going on the paper? - The organic food guy.
- He's gonna grow some blueberries.
- Nice Hey.
Get everything on over to the yard and No, I'm not gonna be there.
I'm gonna send somebody over.
OK.
Bye.
Hey.
- Lemonade? - Perfect.
Yeah.
Hey.
I need you to get on over to the yard and meet those guys.
Yeah.
Bye.
Wow.
Hey, don't do it.
Nothing but trouble.
Hey, you hear anything on the grapevine about Colin, yet? - No.
I don't think it was the bikers.
- No? I don't know.
- Who else? - Maybe a random shooter.
Nothing's random.
I mean, think about it.
They kill Colin, it leaves a big hole in our production.
They step in, start stealing our people.
Next thing, they're coming at us from someplace else, chipping away.
What's your new girlfriend - the cop - what does she say happened? She doesn't know anything.
She only knows what I tell her.
What's happening with the cash machines? Good.
We're rolling them out pretty quick.
Good.
Go ahead, choose a bag.
- This is B-grade? - That's what you wanted.
- Looks more like A.
- Yeah, it's good.
I might check out a couple more bags, then.
She's putting together a new spy service - revamping the old western region into something called the Asia Pacific region.
I think you've met her.
Yeah, I've met Mary.
We had words.
She's a tough lady.
Yeah.
I'm trying to tread lightly here, but basically, we've got a situation where she's trying to protect a guy that we don't myself and a few others we don't feel should be offered protection.
But we can't touch her.
This is Jimmy Reardon you're talking about.
We can't be seen to be going after him.
We've got a no-go there.
Maybe you guys at the DA could.
He's doing business in the States, yeah.
Stateside market accounts for 60, maybe 70% of everything he grows.
100 mil annually, minimum.
Well, we probably should take a look at him, then.
And there's probably a few other players you could give us a perspective on.
No doubt, no doubt.
I'd be happy to do that.
I take it you're not too eager to see Mary installed as the head of this new unit.
She's - she's the wrong person.
- Who would you like to see in there? There's a couple of candidates myself included.
But that's down the road.
All right.
I'll call my man in Washington.
I'll tell him you've got a bad guy you need out of your hair and we'll see what he has to say.
You've got to be more careful, Mary.
Your enemies list is getting too long, too fast.
Commercial Crime is bitching.
Calling Ottawa, saying you're destroying cases.
Drugs Squad is pissed off.
Homicide thinks you're obstructing the Michael Reardon thing in Mexico.
Whoa, stop.
They have zero evidence.
They're making up excuses.
It's not that I care about you, Mary, I just don't want to see you burn your bridges before you've crossed into the land of job security.
- Good night.
- Good night.
And don't worry about Commercial Crime.
I'm gonna throw them a bone tomorrow.
I'm gonna throw Drugs Squad one pretty soon, too.
It'll be fine.
Our man with the DEA is on board.
- What's the approach? - We haven't worked out the game plan but he understands the situation.
What's his timeline? He knows we don't want Mary installed.
He knows what we need.
Ideally, he'd like to get Reardon while he's in the States.
He's not keen on fighting an extradition battle.
Can we get Reardon across the border? Yeah.
We can make it work.
- Spitting mad when I heard.
- And who wouldn't be, and I apologize.
13 months working on this currency exchange and now I'm left empty-handed.
- I know.
- No, you don't.
It's been a long time since you worked an investigation.
- I'm gonna give you a gun-runner.
- Oh, please.
A stockbroker - Randy Bingham.
He's got a diamond mine in the Congo.
To secure the rights, he has to deliver a shipment of small arms.
That's a bone? Randy Bingham's a bonehead.
There's another job goes along with it.
I'm gonna look into it.
I'll need someone over at CSIS managing it.
We're getting down and dirty.
We're not making prosecutions so we're not playing by the same old rules.
Yeah, I just got a taste of that.
- What would I be doing? - Following the guns.
We find out who's buying, who's selling, who's middling and who's going to war.
It's a big project.
It'll be a change, if you're ready for one.
Let me know.
- How much? - Contract plus benefits.
- You'd start at 150.
- Let me sleep on it.
Yeah.
Hey, it's Vic.
Your bank machines are here.
All right.
Let me set something up.
Talk to you later.
Hey, my bank machines just rolled in.
I'm gonna head over there and get things going.
I just got a call from Leonard.
- Which Leonard? - Alberto Leonard in Calgary.
His distributor got popped in the States and he's got a bumper crop he wants to get rid of fast.
He hasn't got anybody to move it for him.
- Wants to know if we can do anything.
- How much has he got? - 1,000lb of double-A.
- All right.
Let me make a call.
Yeah.
I just heard from a mill up north.
They lost an order down south for ten boxcars of top-grade cedar.
I could do something with that.
When's delivery? - Hang on.
When's the delivery? - Any time? I don't know.
Let me ask.
- What do we want? - Where's the market? East coast.
We're shipping to Montreal.
- Montreal.
- Hey.
You gotta ship it Montreal.
- OK? Good.
Yeah.
Done.
Talk later.
- OK, it's heading out tomorrow.
- Talk to you later.
- All right.
It's done.
That was easy.
We didn't even have to touch it.
You are making us too much money, my friend.
We'd like to make this happen.
Good to hear.
One thing Washington wanted me to ask is who you might have inside the new agency who might be able to share with us what's going on.
Oh.
That'd be me.
I'm not going over there, but I know exactly what's going on, who's getting hired.
We're a small community up here.
Everybody knows everybody and everybody talks.
- Give me a snapshot.
- Well we've never had a foreign spy service or much of a domestic one.
We've always relied on you guys and the Brits.
Somebody in government suddenly woke up and decided we'd better get one fast.
They've opened the wallet.
They're throwing cash round, hiring left and right.
Mary's running the Asia Pacific region.
Is that something that you would be qualified for? Mary's job? I think you'd have our support if you wanted to go for that.
I'd be interested.
I mean, it's gonna take some time to work out.
- I'm working.
- So am I.
I'm trying to get this guy to buy a dance.
- I'll buy one.
- Please.
Do you mind? - Here he comes.
Three's a crowd.
- Maybe later? Hi.
You wanna eat? I'll pick something up.
- Was that your cop friend? - Yeah.
I can tell.
I'm not telling her anything she doesn't already know.
Relax.
I think it's good.
See if you can find out anything about the Mexican case.
Look, I don't know how to say this any clearer than this, but you've got to get Michael out of the club, all right? Out of the city, even better.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
- What now? - You know why he wasn't around? - Driving point for a dope run.
- For who? The guys at the tow yard.
- Hey.
- How are you doing? We gotta find something useful for you to do.
- Useful? Like I'm not useful now? - I think you've got to clean up.
Man, I don't need to go to some rehab joint.
We talked about you going to Grandad's, right? I think it'd be a nice place for you to go.
Just go hang out for a little while, nobody to bother you.
You could do some hunting, some fishing.
- Grandad's? When do you wanna go? - I want YOU to go.
See if you can't go up there and just clean up by yourself.
- Are you sending me up to the island? - Yeah.
Cos if you can't clean up by yourself, - I gotta help you.
- Let me think about it.
- You know, that guy took a quick leak.
- What? Well, he went in the can.
Five seconds later, he's back out.
Can we think about it? You know, I don't need rehab.
I can deal with it.
I didn't order that.
- Vodka and Seven.
- Not me.
I'll take it.
I'm gonna take you up to the island.
Monday, you're getting on the boat.
OK, I'll give it a shot.
Let's go.
Do you see that guy at the table over there? Yeah.
- Did you check him when he came in? - Yeah.
- OK.
- You wanna do my job? Relax.
Vodka and Seven.
What the hell was that? I bring you a drink.
I'm not drinking in front of Ronnie and my brother.
Put it in a big glass with lime, and if anybody asks, it's soda.
You want vodka and Seven, or soda in a glass with lime? - What?! - Seven or soda, which one? - Seven.
If anybody asks, it's soda.
- You make no sense.
Who sent you? Who are you with? Easy.
Someone called the cops.
They're coming.
Give me two minutes with him and he'll give it up.
- The cops are on their way.
- Leave him alone.
Let the cops have him.
Let's go.
