♪♪♪
So what happened last night?
- Uh,
surveillance lost the subject
and his girlfriend
in the first club.
One of those barns
down on Richmond.
- Why didn't they warn us?
- They thought they'd moved on
to another joint. Who'd figure
they'd go home after two dances?
- Well, from the sounds of it,
they had a powerful motivator.
- What happened to you guys
last night?
- We ended up in the closet.
- Oh yeah? So, hey,
did you guys, uh,
you know, did you
see anything?
- Settle down.
[Chuckling]
I want the story on why
we're bugging this guy.
- Well, looks like
we're about to get it.
It was awesome.
- Oh yeah?
- It was like, uh,
two beautiful bodies,
skin to skin, you know.
It was, uh, hot.
Sweaty.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah?
- And that was just Hourani
and me in the closet.
- No, no
- Roberto Abrantes, 24,
Cuban-born, fled to Miami,
now resides here in Toronto.
- He's a boxer.
12 and 2. Hopes to get
his status in time
to fight for Canada
in the Olympics.
- Why'd I spend half the night
sitting on a Cuban middleweight?
- Abrantes' father. Luis
Martinez. Sentenced to life
in '92 for killing
2 people in Miami.
He was active in the
anti-Castro movement.
- He had an associate who
thought it was time to drop
the hard line against Castro.
- And Martinez didn't agree.
- Shot the man dead
in the street.
Killed his wife too,
and crippled a passer-by.
- Martinez was paroled
2 weeks ago. U.S. intel
has him coming here.
- If he's on parole, he's not
coming over the line legally.
- That's right.
And we have the Cuban Minister
of Economic Modernization
in town. Ulises Parada.
- Luis Martinez is in his
sixties. Do you think
he's still a real threat?
- We do over a billion dollars
worth of business with Cuba
every year.
If Martinez is actually
gonna try and kill one
of their top officials,
how do you think
that'll play in Ottawa?
- The son's a possible contact?
- Find out. You and Hourani
try and get close to him.
- Why don't you take Roberto?
I'll check up on the girlfriend,
Andrea Downie.
- Ha, um you wouldn't be
motivated by anything you heard
last night, would you?
- No, I don't think so.
[Latin pop music]
- Okay, okay, hands up.
It's a rhythm, okay.
Start slow and let
the bag come to you.
- I'll never get this.
- Sure you will.
Straight jabs, keep
your elbows in.
Okay, here, watch.
Punch through the bag.
- You make it look so easy.
And that makes me feel
so much worse.
- Alright?
Try it again. Come on,
you'll get it.
- Hey there.
- Hi.
- Hey, you got a minute? You
mind giving me a spot here?
- Oh, um,
sorry. Vlad? Could you
spot this gentleman?
Vlad will be glad
to help you out.
- Hey there, Vlad.
Let's, uh come on.
- Hi.
- Oh, hey, baby.
- How's it going?
- Oh, sorry. Roberto was just
showing me how to use
the speed bag.
- That's okay. No worries.
- Layla.
Why are all the good ones taken?
- Yeah, he's not bad.
[Giggling]
- How'd it go?
- Vlad said I had
to feel the burn.
I think I strained a pec. You?
- Well, Roberto hasn't seen
his father in 15 years.
His parents were estranged
even before Martinez was
charged with murder.
He was obsessed with
overthrowing Fidel.
That was what he lived for.
- You got all this from Roberto?
- We went to lunch. Andrea
did most of the talking.
- What else you get?
- Roberto's mom divorced
Martinez,
went back to her maiden name
when they came to New York.
A complete break.
- Why'd Roberto come to Canada?
- He met Andrea.
She was Canadian. She wanted
to come home. He was in love.
- Yeah, love.
- Oh yeah.
At lunch, I was afraid
to look under the table.
I think we're wasting
our time on this guy.
He didn't even want to say
his father's name.
- Pay phone right by the water,
right? You got that one? You
know which one it is, right?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
- Hey.
- Hey, what's up?
- We picked up something from
Roberto Abrantes' phone tap.
Come check it out, check it.
His dad just called.
- [Hello?]
- [Roberto?]
[Es tu padre.Luis. Roberto?]
- [No.]
- [Roberto, por favor,
dejame hablar contigo.]
[Dial tone]
- His own kid hung up on him.
- That's gotta hurt.
- Did we get enough for a trace?
- Please, how can you even
doubt? Phone booth
at Harbourfront.
Moose and Darnell?
Already on their way.
- So.
How long before Martinez
has his sights trained
on the Cuban minister?
- If Luis Martinez were to
assassinate a Cuban minister,
Castro would turn this
into the biggest piece
of anti-American propaganda
you have ever seen.
- Claim Martinez
was a U.S. agent.
- That's right.
Are you sure he's here in town?
- Yes.
- You people let everyone
into this country?
- We didn't get much warning.
- Let me tell you,
Luis Martinez was one
of the hardest
of the hardliners of the Cuban
exile community.
I doubt that prison changed him.
- Then how did he get parole?
- A lot of Cuban Americans
lost everything
because of Castro.
Some are now wealthy
and powerful. Maybe a few
regard him as a loyal soldier
in the cause of Cuba Libre.
- Wasn't your family one of
those that lost everything?
- Have you been
investigating me?
- No, we pick up a few things
here and there.
- My father was charged
with violation
of revolutionary values,
convicted in a phoney trial,
and executed by a firing squad.
- You and your mother
fled to Miami.
- Yeah, where we did not become
wealthy or powerful.
- I have to ask.
Why in the world would they
send you to help us protect
a Cuban Minister?
- Didn't I tell you I rubbed
a few people the wrong way
in Washington?
- I'm not surprised. But still--
- Maybe it's a test.
- Sounds more like sadism to me.
- Let me assure you, Major.
I will not take
a bullet for Parada,
but I will do everything short
of that to keep him safe.
- Okay.
- I protect the interests
of the American people.
That's my job.
- We'll make sure you don't have
to duck that bullet.
- Couldn't find anyone
who spotted your man at
the phone booth. Sorry.
- Anyone fitting his description
come off a boat?
- Well, we'll walk the photo
around the marinas, but, uh,
you have to know
what a long shot that is.
- You got a lot of boats
coming into shore, do ya?
- Hundreds of boats
in dozens of marinas.
And Americans
from across the lake,
Canadians going out and back to
Rochester, Lewiston or wherever.
- You do customs checks, right?
- With airport security
so tight,
we're stopping more boats
every week than we used
to stop all season.
There's only so much manpower.
- Get off a boat, make a call,
and grab a streetcar.
He could be anywhere.
- Minister Parada has arrived
with his own personal army.
- Has Martinez tried
to contact his son again?
- Uh, I recorded this
an hour ago.
- [No, no! Don't answer it.]
- [Roberto,]
[you can't keep hiding.
If it's your father,
you should talk to him.]
- [Why?]
- [Because he's your father.]
- [He hasn't been my father
for 15 years.]
- [Then tell him]
[you don't want
to talk to him, ever.]
[At least that's some
kind of closure.]
- [I can't.]
[No. I can't.]
[Cell phone ringing]
- Kessler.
- [It's Holland.]
There's bleating from the Rideau
to the Potomac.
- Oh?
- [Tell me you've made progress
on the current peril.]
- We continue to pursue
a number of lines of enquiry.
- Major, the art
of saying nothing
is not your particular gift.
- [Well, Deputy Minister,]
he has tried to contact his son.
- Ah yes, the boxer.
I hear he's a brute.
With a tendency to bleed.
- But the kid doesn't want
anything to do with his father.
- [Have you tried
waving the flag?]
The one with the rings on it?
- [I will continue
to keep you informed, Sir.]
- Vlad, looking good.
Hey.
Gray Jackson, Immigration
and Customs Security.
Can we talk?
- Yeah, okay.
- So, given your
father's history,
you understand why people are
concerned about the situation?
- I don't know about
any Minister, or my father.
And I'm not interested
in politics,
Cuban or any other kind.
- Come on, man,
we know your father
tried to contact you.
- Says who?
- Look, we just need you
to arrange a meeting.
- My father killed
two people
because of politics.
My mother had to take me
away from Miami
because half the people
said he was a hero
and the other half said
he was a "maldito asesino."
- So you speak to him
and you set something up.
- And you guys show up
instead of me?
- Yeah.
- You expect me to set a trap
for my own father?
- We think he's planning
to kill again.
- What, you got any evidence?
- Look, you wanna be there,
fine. We'll do it together.
- Ha, ha!
I don't want to see my father.
You do whatever the hell
you like-- arrest him,
you deport him
You leave me the hell out of it.
- Alright, look, look.
You do this, there's people
who'd be grateful.
People who help pave the way for
your landed immigrant papers.
- It's the same shit
as everywhere else.
I do something for you,
you do something for me?
- Hey, I'm just saying.
- I thought Canada
was different.
- Anda!I'm freezing here.
- Reydel?
I'm, uh, Sergent Lapinski.
This is my partner,
Inspector Darnell Williams.
- Que pasa,Dee?
- Trey said you could
help us out, give us the word.
- He made D/S yet?
- No, P.C. for life, man.
[Chuckling]
- We're looking for somebody
who wants to buy some hardware.
- No! That happens?
- New in town. Latino.
Old guy, maybe 60.
Been inside for the max.
- May want a long gun,
something with some range.
- That's all you got?
- He's in a hurry.
- I'll see what I hear.
- Yeah, give us a call.
We never close.
- Hey, tell Trey his chica's
hot for me.
Okay. Buen perro.
- So Abrantes won't cooperate.
- He was very clear.
He doesn't want anything to do
with his dad but he won't
sell him out.
- His father's a double
murderer. He hasn't seen him
in 15 years. Why the loyalty?
- Blood. Martinez
is still his father.
- Find another way
to exert pressure.
- Aw, man, I hated
pulling that Canadian papers
thing. This is a good kid.
- We're trying to prevent
an assassination.
- It's Martinez!
He's on the phone with Roberto.
- [Hello?]
- [Roberto, please
don't hang up--]
[Roberto says address
in Spanish]
- Switching to L.D. 1.
Nothing.
What'd he say?
- Uh,
"14 Northwest Avenue and
West Flagler St., 20 minutes.
Be careful."
- Ho-ho. Abrantes has set up
a meet with his old man.
- Warn the surveillance team
at the apartment.
- Foxtrot Three, subject
may be on the move.
- They'll need backup;
there are 3 or 4 ways
he can get out of that apartment
without being seen.
This is Sergeant Hourani,
we need immediate
additional units
- Hey, is Roberto there?
No, it's alright,
I'll phone back.
Andrea says he's in the shower.
- Oh, sure.
- [This is Foxtrot Three.]
[No sign of activity.
Nothing here.]
- He's not picking up his cell.
- There's no such
intersection in Toronto.
- What's with the street names?
What's the code?
- Uh Anagram? Cryptogram?
It's two different languages.
You're going to have to give me
a minute here.
- Roberto said 20 minutes.
Where can he go
in 20 minutes?
- By cab or subway? This time
of day? Halfway across the city.
- Why's he even doing this?
- My dad walked out on us
when I was a boy.
If he called, I'd probably meet
up with him and I wouldn't want
cops looking over my shoulder.
- Found 'em. Both
those streets are in Miami.
Little Havana.
- Last place Roberto was with
his father when he was a boy.
- Do they intersect?
- Uh, yes, they do.
- What's there?
- Um
- What's that big building?
- Hold on.
It's a church, a Catholic
church. St. Thomas the Martyr.
- Is there a church by that name
in Toronto?
- Too simple, I never would have
got that. Don't get used to it.
Me being stumped
is a statistical anomaly.
Oakmount and Tecumseh.
- Get units over there, stat.
- This is ICS Central
- No sign of 'em. We're covering
the church and the grounds.
- Did we beat him here?
- It's been 30 minutes.
They've met and moved on.
- Okay.
Expand your search, get
as many people as you can.
Show pictures of
Abrantes and Martinez.
- Roberto.
- What do you want now?
- I'm sorry you decided
not to cooperate.
- You've got guys sitting
out here watching me
and Andrea, 24/7.
I bet you've bugged
my apartment, too.
This is the same stuff my mother
used to tell me about Cuba.
- Man, you told us you weren't
involved in politics.
- I'm not.
- You are aiding and abetting
a man who's planning
an assassination.
- Prove it.
- Just tell us where he is.
- My father's not here
to kill anyone.
- And you know that for a fact.
- He's here to see me
before he dies.
He's got cancer.
- Gentlemen.
We checked Martinez'
medical records.
- Does he have cancer?
- Yes. Of the stomach.
Refused surgery. Doctor says
he's got 6 months.
- So he could be telling
his son the truth.
- Or he could be planning
one last stab at Castro.
- What now?
- I'd suggest
to throw the kid in jail
for obstruction until
he decides to cooperate.
- He believes his father.
I don't think we'll crack
Abrantes that way.
- We'll maintain surveillance.
Maybe the street canvas
will net something.
- Okay. What else?
- We'll keep you informed.
- Better come up with something,
Major. Neither one of us
can afford to blow this.
- Sorry.
I got a little carried away
there, didn't I?
- Were you imagining I was
somebody else?
- No.
Yeah. I guess I was.
- You want to talk?
Or keep punching?
- It's Roberto.
- Men. What's he done?
- Nothing.
Did you see that guy who tried
to hit on me the other day?
- No. Here?
- Some kind of undercover cop.
He tried to blackmail Roberto
into informing on his father.
Said he could get him
his landed status.
- What a sleaze.
- Totally. It might as well be
Russia or Nazi Germany
or something.
- Why are they after Roberto's
father? Isn't he in prison?
- No, Luis is here. He wants
to reconcile with Roberto.
- That's huge. How's Roberto
feel about it?
- You know,
when we were first started
going out, Roberto told me
his parents were dead.
That's how Roberto feels
about his dad-- dead and gone.
Then out of the blue Luis calls.
And the cops show up.
It's making Roberto crazy
and I don't know
how to help him.
- Is Luis staying with you two?
- No. He won't say
where he's staying.
He's on parole, so
he shouldn't even be here.
- Reydel came through.
He told me a .308 sniper rifle
and a 9 mil semi-automatic
pistol changed hands last night.
- No names, but he was Latino,
south of 30, in good shape.
- Where was Roberto Abrantes
last night?
- With his girlfriend,
as far as we can tell.
- Pick up Hourani, check in
with Ulises Parada's
security detail.
Comb the itinerary, look for
a choke point, somewhere
where they can take a shot.
- Martinez has gotta be
getting help.
Where's he staying? How's
he gettin' around?
- Public transport:
convenient, affordable,
anonymous.
- The TTC's got cameras.
It'll only take about a week
to go through the footage.
- You know, I remember a refugee
from Havana I processed
a few years ago.
A journalist. She might be able
to open a window into the Cuban
community for us.
- Any other ideas?
- Let's hope this Parada guy
is as hard to kill as Castro.
- Oh, Maggie, it's good
to see you. I'm sorry
I only have half an hour.
I have to go cover
Minister Parada's visit
to the Pickering Nuclear.
- Well, there have to be a whole
lot of Cuban Canadians with
reason to hate that guy's guts.
- Well, yeah, I mean,
I only did 2 years before
Amnesty got me out.
But, uh, there were many
activists who were jailed
for a long time.
- What happened to Araceli
was terrible, but--
- But This is Rene.
He's from Cienfuegos.
He and I disagree.
- Fidel had to rule
with an iron fist
or everything he did for Cuba
would be destroyed.
Free education, medical care--
- Rationed gas, food, power.
- That's the American embargo.
- Ah!
- Did you know every president
since Eisenhower has tried
to bring him down?
Because he showed
all of Latin America
that you don't have to bow down
to the Yankees.
- And yet,
we could not have this
conversation in a coffee shop
in La Habana.
- Or parts of Miami.
- Rene
- Or parts of Miami.
I think time is what will take
care of the Castro brothers.
- Araceli, what if someone
came to town who needed to
run below the radar?
- You mean someone
who didn't want to wait
for time?
- Yeah.
- You know, Maggie,
you were the very first
government official to
treat me like a real person,
not just another file to be
processed. I could give you
some addresses.
As long as this someone
is all you're looking for?
- Thank you.
- We reviewed Parada's
itinerary.
There's nothing
scheduled for tonight.
- The word we got was: the
Minister will be in his suite,
meeting with "colleagues".
His people are
handling the security.
- Yeah, right. What is it?
Party time?
- Could be he doesn't want
any of us
telling tales in the morning,
who knows?
- Maybe this can keep overnight.
- Oh, come on, let's pop in
and introduce ourselves.
I want to check out
his taste in women.
[Gunshots]
- I got you, sir!
- Immigration and Customs
Security!
- Put your guns down! Las armas
al suelo!Lower your weapons!
- Canadian security.
Lower your weapons.
- Sergeant, get him out.
- Ma'am.
Let's go.
Come on.
- Rápido!
- What are you doing here?
- The shots came from the roof
from a building across
the street.
Get your people on it.
- This is Sergeant Hourani.
Shots fired at the window
of Minister Parada's suite
- Again, what the hell
are you doing here?
LaGarda had a couple of U.S.
agents with her.
They were providing security
for a man and a woman
in business suits.
- The agents hustled them out
of the room. We weren't
introduced.
- What did you learn
about the shooting?
- Parada crossed to a table
to get a drink.
Reaching for an ice cube
probably saved his life.
- LaGarda was right beside him.
- Mounties found a rifle
on the rooftop of the building
across the street.
A .308.
- No other signs of the shooter.
- And no fingerprints.
You think he'll try again?
- He's probably still got
the 9-millimetre.
Okay.
- Have you turned up anything?
- You first.
What's going on?
- The State Department wanted
an off-the-record meeting
with Ulises Parada.
- Why weren't we informed?
- Need-to-know basis.
- We're trying to stop this guy
from getting killed. I would say
that's need to know.
- If the news of the
meeting got out,
that could compromise
both Parada
and my government.
- And the reason
for the meeting?
- Sorry.
- With Castro gone,
Parada could become
president of Cuba one day.
Your people were sussing out
his intentions to the U.S.
Maybe offering their support
if he was willing to play ball.
He's ex-military, so that
makes him a good bet--
the President has to have
the support of the Cuban
Armed Forces.
- Fine theories.
But does that get you any closer
to getting Martinez?
- Still no proof. But if it is
him, his son might be involved.
- You should have
locked up the boxer.
Do you have any new leads?
- I told you he wasn't here.
Not since yesterday.
I don't think he'll be back.
He had a bag with him
when he left.
- Got something.
- Gray. They found an empty box
of .308 ammo in Martinez' room.
Push Abrantes hard.
We're running out of time.
What did you hear
from the apartment?
- Oh, uh, nada.
They're never there
and when they are, they're
just talking couples' talk.
- Couples' talk?
- Uh, yeah, couples talk.
Uh, "Have you seen my keys?"
Or uh, "Should I make
something tonight
"or should we just grab some
takeout? Oh, pizza or Thai?
Hey, what's on television?
What're you watching? Oh, that
new dancing show is on again."
It's a wonder the human race
gets propagated.
- Phone calls.
- Oh! No,
nothing from the old man.
But you gotta see this.
- What am I looking at?
- Well, to your right is
Lieutenant Ulises Parada
of the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Cuba in 1977.
Beside him, his mentor,
Colonel Emilio LaGarda.
- What do you know?
- Colonel LaGarda was
a very popular officer
and public figure. A little
too popular. Fidel started
hearing footsteps.
So, colonel LaGarda was charged
with betraying the ideals
of the revolution. And
for the whole enchilada,
guess who was the principal
witness against him?
- His former protégé,
Ulises Parada.
- Soon to become
Captain, then Major,
then Generalissimo Parada.
Funny how that works.
- He betrays LaGarda and 30
years later, who's standing next
to him when he gets shot at?
LaGarda's daughter.
- So you think our little
jalapeño has got something
she's not telling us?
- Review the intel on Martinez
in Cuba and Miami.
Get Darnell to reach out to CSIS
and CIA. I want to stop coming
up a buck short and a day late.
- Right.
- Have we caught a break?
What's this got to do with
present circumstances?
- You tell me.
- It's a matter of public record
in Cuba that my father and
Parada served together.
- Ulises Parada sent
your father to his death.
- My father was dead
the minute Fidel decided
he was getting too powerful.
Parada was just a pawn.
- Martinez gets paroled
from a lifetime sentence,
smuggled across the border.
He buys weapons
and comes within a foot
of killing Parada. What
does that suggest to you?
- That somebody's helping him.
- Someone with connections,
who knows the borders, who
could run a covert operation.
- The Cuban expat community
is very large
and diversified.
- Why did Parada walk over
to that window last night?
Why did you happen to be
standing right there?
- He was getting a drink.
I was watching the room.
- Does he know who you are?
- No.
We were not introduced.
Do you actually think
I'd be involved
in an assassination?
- If somebody sent my father
to his death
- I want that bastard to rot
in hell for all eternity.
But I'm not gonna be
the one to put him there.
- I want you to stay clear
of this case.
- You still suspect me.
- I'm gonna get whoever's
responsible.
- Yeah, you do that.
Because my government
doesn't wanna have
Parada board that plane
to Havana feet first.
- Hi.
- Hi. What's up?
- I have something to tell you.
I'm with Immigration
and Customs Security.
- No!
Go away.
- Please, let me explain.
Look, we both want
the same thing, right?
To keep Roberto
from getting hurt.
- Get away from me, man.
- This is your last chance,
Roberto.
- Get out of here.
- We know your father's
trying to kill
the Cuban Minister, okay.
We have evidence.
- Why would I believe
anything you say?
- Roberto admitted
meeting his father.
That makes him an accessory
to attempted murder.
- I thought you were
my friend.
- Let me be your friend.
Let me help you.
- His father told Roberto
he came to Canada to see him.
That's all.
- Roberto could face jail
and deportation.
His life will be ruined,
and you'll never
be together.
- He didn't do anything.
- We have to find Luis Martinez.
- Even if you hate
Ulises Parada
and everything he stands for
- Look,
I told you, I don't care
about politics.
I don't want to be involved
in any of this.
- Well, you areinvolved in this
and Parada's not the only one
in danger here. Last time,
innocent people were killed.
That could happen again.
- He told me he was here
to see me.
- Well, he lied to you, Roberto.
- Well, I don't believe you!
- Listen, man, I know how you
feel, okay. I got a father
who only comes around
when he needs something,
alright. It sucks.
- You just leave me alone.
- Just tell me where he is.
- I don't know.
- Look, this guy
is a crazy fanatic
and he's gonna slaughter
innocent people.
- I don't know where he is!
- Yeah, yeah. He hit the bricks
like he was shot out of a
cannon. What'd you say to him?
- Just stay close to him,
alright. See what he does.
- Okay.
[Phone ringing]
- You should answer that.
- [Hello?]
- [Andrea?]
[Andrea, dime por favor]
- Boss!
- [Is Roberto there?]
- No, not now.
- [I just called
to say good-bye.]
[You tell Roberto good-bye.]
- [You should call him
on his cell phone.]
- [I have to go.]
- Luis, please don't do anything
bad. It will hurt Roberto.
- [Andrea. This is something
you cannot understand.]
[I hope Roberto will.
I'm sorry, I must go.]
[Good-bye.]
- Luis--
[Dial tone]
- Got it. Payphone,
Skyline Hotel.
- Gray, what's your status?
- Roberto took a call
on his cell.
He's at the Skyline Hotel.
This is on Parada's itinerary.
He's got a lunch here today.
- No, I haven't seen that guy.
But uh, the hotel here
is full of Hispanics--
I'm sorry, I meant Latinos.
- What's the situation
with Parada?
- Oh, we're good to go.
We swept the banquet hall
and the hotel employees.
We're bringing Parada in
through the kitchen now.
Why don't you wait here while I
check to see if everything's
ready in the hall?
Okay, I think, uh
[Plates breaking]
- Don't shoot!
Don't shoot! I'm sorry,
I'm sorry!
Don't shoot, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry!
- Okay, we're clear. Stand down.
- Get out of the way so we can
get that cleaned up!
Come on, move! I've got
200 meals to push out.
- We're almost ready
for you, sir.
- Hey, man, what's your name?
- Ramira Leon.
Can I get back to work now?
- Let me see some I.D.
Gun!
- Drop the gun!
- Papi, no!
- Drop it!
- No!
No, Papi!
- Let's go, this way.
- He tried to explain
on the phone.
He said he only took this
contract to get into Canada,
to see me.
- So who hired him?
- He didn't know.
He never met anyone
face to face.
I believed him, though.
I believed he really wanted
to make it right between us.
- I think he wanted to do that.
Let's go.
- Major.
- The hotel waiter was
identified as the one who
bought the guns for Martinez.
- What is that,
a third generation
devoted to hating Castro?
- Not according to what
Inspector Williams turned up.
- What do you mean?
- Darnell's information
indicates
the assassination plot
originated in Havana.
- Havana. Huh.
- Maybe somebody there
didn't like the idea of Parada
being the front-runner
for the Presidency.
Or maybe they didn't like the
idea of him having cozy chats
with the U.S. State Department.
- Anything is possible.
- Your people might want
to mention this to him.
He may reconsider flying home.
- So does that mean that I'm off
your suspect list?
- It would appear so.
- I'm free to go?
- There's the door.
- You know, in our business
it's sometimes hard
to figure out who
is working for whom.
- Yeah.
- That's why it's good to know
who your friends are.
- Great, thank you.
So Roberto Abrantes'
landed immigrant status
should be processed
in time for the Olympics.
- That's good. He's got
a hell of a left.
- Apparently Kessler
pulled some strings.
- He'll never admit it.
- You ever see your dad?
- Yeah, once in a while.
- How 'bout your mom?
- She died.
I grew up in foster homes.
- You got plans?
I mean tonight?
- I got some stuff
I gotta finish here.
- Sure. See you tomorrow?
- Yeah.
Dad?
It's Gray.
Yeah, it's been a while.
You've been 6 months
at the same address.
That's some sort
of record for you.
No kidding,
the daily double, huh?
Guess everyone wins
now and then.
So, what have you been up to?
