Intelligence (2006) s02e07 Episode Script

1 Where are you going? I'm just going to get a coffee.
You want me to bring you something? - Can I come? - Give me five minutes.
Meet me in the bar.
Morning! Didn't mean to scare you.
Oh, my God! Sorry.
I had to crash in the dressing room.
My boyfriend kicked me out.
That's no problem.
- Everything all right? - With the boyfriend? Oh, God! Love him.
Hate him.
You know how it is.
We're so happy to have you back.
It isn't the same without you.
I'm glad to be back.
I got word Reardon's holed up in the Chickadee with his wife and kid.
Check it out.
All right.
When are we gonna take him down? First good opportunity.
The cops are gonna hold him for extradition today.
Either he's gonna get arrested or disappear.
We've got to grab him before that happens or we don't get paid.
When are the boys arriving? Any time.
They came through the border an hour ago.
Ready? Yes.
Stun gun, mace, handcuffs.
Ready to rock.
- OK.
You're on the clock.
- All right.
- Morning.
- How did you sleep? OK.
You? Not so good.
Nervous about your charges.
When do you think we'll hear something? - It's still early.
I don't know.
- Want a coffee? No.
I'll head out with Stella.
I got you a passport, credit card, driver's licence.
- Let me know when you want to fly.
- Got a couple of deals to settle up.
Things are going to change when you split.
There'll be a power shift.
People will be fighting to take over our turf.
I'm ready! He's got guys on the roof, the front and the back.
OK, keep an eye.
- How's it looking? - He's been holed up in the Chickadee.
- How many guys has he got inside? - No idea.
You gonna to take him at the club? We've got to go in after him before you guys arrest him.
- We're arresting him? - It's what I heard.
We've got to get him as soon as we can.
Is it you guys or the Feds? That would be the Feds.
So you won't hear when they might grab him? I could look into it.
Let me know if you need anything else.
I might need your help when we're going back over the border.
Don't want to get stopped in a traffic violation.
Let me know when you've got him and I'll escort you to the border.
Beautiful.
Kids can be brutal.
You've got to be careful with names.
I'm not rushing you.
I was wondering if you had any favourites.
I might want to meet him first, see who comes along.
Right.
I agree.
OK, babe.
I've got to go to work.
Give me a shout later, maybe we'll get dinner? I was going to look at houses.
You want me to call - if I see something nice? - Why not? Call me.
We don't have to do this.
I want to do this.
I love you.
I want to raise the kid together.
- I can stick it out.
- I hope so.
Let me know about the houses you see.
Phil, it's Ron.
I've got to talk to you about my divorce.
I've got to get started pronto.
- How you feeling? - All right.
- What's the plan? - Gonna take Stella for breakfast.
You got a sec? Excuse us, Stella.
I'll wait outside.
You make a decision? I'm gonna have to say goodbye to Canada.
- You say that like it's for ever.
- It could be.
OK, if that's the way it's got to go.
I need to speak to the Attorney General.
This is Inspector Spalding at CSIS Asia Pacific.
I understand he's on holiday.
I left two messages on his private number.
This is an urgent matter.
- Thank you.
- Ma'am.
You've got a Crown Counsel in your office.
Did you speak with Julianna? Was she successful? I'm expecting to hear shortly.
I did a little more digging into this Blackmire Group.
They seem to be extremely active in acquiring freshwater rights not only here, but all over the globe.
- I'd like to see a brief on that.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Crown Counsel's here.
- Has the Attorney General called? - Not yet.
- Keep trying.
Be annoying.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Inspector.
Congratulations on your appointment.
How's everything going? So far, so good.
What can I do for you? I'm handling the extradition proceedings of Jim Reardon.
The extradition proceedings.
You've got to be kidding me! - Is that really going ahead? - It is.
The DEA want him pretty badly.
They botched his arrest in Seattle.
They're embarrassed so they're fronting a bullshit case.
- Two people were killed.
- Not by Reardon.
I know they dropped the idea of murder charges.
Do you know different? No.
They're proceeding with trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Because they can't make the murder charges stick! I'll be addressing the extradition request this afternoon unless you give me a reason why not.
I'll give you a number of reasons.
Number one If this leaves this room I'll have your head.
Mr Reardon has been co-operating with us on a number of cases.
- I'd like to keep it moving forward.
- You cut a deal with Jim Reardon.
I'd appreciate help in delaying this extradition or getting it quashed.
- That's not going to happen.
- Why not? Because major cogs in the machine are rolling.
Ottawa's been on the phone with Washington.
- This is going forward.
- The DEA's case is built on sand.
- It wouldn't pass - I don't see it that way.
Then take your blinders off! They've got a dozen informant statements.
Please! They aren't worth the ass-wipe they're written on! The investigation methods alone are nothing less than entrapment.
Evidence is based on a testimony of a coerced informant who is deceased.
If that ain't enough, you can argue on the sentence being too harsh in comparison to Canada.
He'd get a serious term of probation but 20 years in the States.
I won't get any support from Ottawa.
Well, I'll intervene.
I'll stall things for as long as I have to.
If the Attorney General tells me, I'll back off, but not until I hear from him personally.
If you want me to take it to Ottawa on those grounds I will, but I would be on the lookout for an end run around the both of us.
- It's nice seeing you again.
- You too.
- Any word from the Attorney General? - I got the same story.
He's on holiday and unreachable.
That's bullshit! We're getting railroaded on this! You know about my legal problems, right? You have to leave because the DEA is going to arrest you.
That's right.
So you got any questions? How come they can come into Canada? I guess they feel like they can do whatever they want.
- Where are you going to live? - Down south somewhere.
- Somewhere we can be anonymous.
- We? I was hoping you and your mum could join me.
Really? You think that's a good idea? Well, I was hoping it could happen.
Probably not very realistic.
Maybe not.
It wouldn't be a year or more before we could join you, would it? Probably not, but maybe.
I wouldn't mind boarding school.
I could handle it.
Really? You've been thinking about that? It'd be harder on you than me.
- Is this your idea or your mum's? - Mine.
You think you could handle going to boarding school somewhere? He's at a restaurant with his kid having breakfast.
Is it clear? Are they alone? No.
He's got a bodyguard.
OK.
Stay on him.
What's going on, Nicky? - Any trouble crossing the border? - No.
OK, Reardon's staying close to his club.
He's got a bodyguard.
I've got Donny watching him, waiting for an opportunity.
One of you go to the club, watch the front door, take one-hour shifts.
It's one block over, the Chickadee.
This is who you're looking for.
Sounds good.
Where are we with the Disciples case? I think we got luck on the raid.
We've got a lot of Dante's paper trail on file.
- Excellent.
- We got confirmation that Dante's buying Reardon's bank machine business.
- 500 machines in the area.
- That deal's going ahead? - Apparently.
- What about this off-shore bank? Find anything? mentionned.
It's the First National Bank of Ireland, Bahama branch.
- The Bahamas.
- Any idea what Reardon's up to? Looks like he's selling off assets and preparing to skip the country.
Maybe the Bahamas, to keep an eye on his money.
That'll have a huge impact on the local scene, a turf war over the vacuum he leaves.
Even if Dante buys him out? There's still going to be a turf war.
The Vietnamese going after the Disciples for Reardon's dope trade.
With Reardon, there's relative peace in the valley! He splits, that's not going to be the case.
Ronnie can't maintain the balance of power? That only works cos it's a partnership.
When Reardon leaves, it may be game over for their type of west coast rounders.
Or Ronnie partners up with Dante, and I don't see that happening.
When Reardon exits the scene, it's going to be chaos.
Spin out a couple of scenarios and fill me in.
Will do.
And find out who these Bahamas bankers are.
Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am? Julianna.
Shall I have her come in? As soon as possible, please.
Four million for the bank machine business.
That includes the machines and all the spots.
Right.
Right, but two million, four million doesn't make much difference.
The money is in you guaranteeing that you wash all your money through our off-shore bank.
All my cash from all my operations? We'll give you a better deal than anybody else.
I don't want to quibble, I'll be happy wash all my cash to you as long as you don't jack up your rates.
- You're looking for a fixed rate? - Yeah.
I want a five-year deal.
Can't give you that.
I can give you a two-year fixed rate of ten cents on the dollar and the bank machines for five mil.
Is your weed business on the table? I have to talk to the growers.
They might not want to be in business with you.
I don't want your growers.
I want your eastern Canada customers.
- That's our cash cow.
- That's why I want it.
You'll have to give us time to talk about that.
- And the bank machines at five mil? - Cash.
OK.
Call me on the other thing.
Jesus! Is this how it's all going to end? I thought you said you were good with it.
We got all our eggs in one basket with this bank deal.
We sell the weed business, what does that leave if we get problems? When I split town, they're going to fight over our customers.
There's going to be a war with you in the middle of it.
Sell out and get a price.
I feel like I don't have a choice.
Things have changed and you've got a kid on the way.
Maybe it's all for the good.
These DEA guys are looking to grab you as soon as they can.
- Today or tomorrow.
- You sure about this? Yeah.
He says there's an extradition order coming down on you in 24 hours.
That was Rene.
Says I'm going to be extradited and the DEA's looking to grab me.
I just heard that I am gonna be extradited, is that true? I can't discuss that right now.
Let's meet in an hour.
Am I going to be extradited or not? Not if I can help it.
We need to discuss a strategy.
I need an hour.
Ma'am.
Julianna's here.
She's had quite an evening.
What's the story? The head of the Blackmire Group invited her to Mexico City.
- She doesn't have the proper paper.
- That was quick.
I understand you've been invited to travel abroad with Mr Brown.
Yes.
But I have no good papers.
- Can you get me Canadian passport? - Slow down.
What's the story? You met Mr Brown last night.
Yes.
How did you wrangle an invitation to Mexico City? Well, Inspector Kiniski told me to appeal to him to form relationship.
So - I gave him good story.
- What did you tell him? I told him that I was desperate, that this was my first professional date, that I was trained secretary and I was only prostituting until I could get honest job.
- And that was it? He went for that? - Well, not right away.
But by end of evening, he was asking me to travel to Mexico and to be his secretary at the meetings.
What meetings? I am supposed to be on the flight next week, and give him the papers on time.
What sort of meetings? He is going to another summit meeting in Mexico.
He invited me to travel with him so as to be his secretary.
He's going to Mexico for the same sort of meeting he's having here? So he says.
He has more meetings today about the water.
And then tonight he's going to have dinner with the bankers.
He just freely tells you all this? Yes, I am his secretary now.
I already have some of his itinerary.
From 9 o'clock until noon today he has the meeting at the hotel.
And then dinner with someone from the bank to arrange for some money transfers.
You wouldn't happen to know the name of the banker? Yes.
Meeting a Mr Evans.
- I have question.
- Of course.
If I get money and things from him, I can keep it? - No problem for you? - No problem for me.
Excuse us a minute, please.
Good work, so far.
Thank you.
- She's got the stuff.
- Best I've seen in a long time.
If we give her a passport we risk her never coming back.
I doubt Brown will keep her around long.
She'll come back with a lot of intel on the Blackmire Group.
All right.
Get her that passport.
Call our man in immigration.
Thank you.
Come.
We need to take your passport picture.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Gordon Evans with the bank.
I have papers for Jim to sign.
He's in the office.
I need your signature on the share documents.
Just where it's flagged there.
How's everything your end? No more problems - with the authorities? - No.
No problems.
I'll probably be heading to the islands in the next month or so.
Fantastic.
We can go sailing! I can introduce you to the community.
There, and there as well.
I'm having dinner tonight with a very interesting chap, a Mr Brown.
He's the director of the Blackmire Group.
Do you know them? Potentially very lucrative clients, interested in our off-shore service.
Regarding the replacement for Mr Hogarty, I was thinking Mr Fornby might be a good candidate.
- Possibility, yeah.
- All right.
I'll arrange for you two to have a talk.
I think that's the last one.
Where exactly are we with - Mr Hogarty? - Agree to take the buy-out and resign.
That's great.
All right.
I'll set up that meeting with Mr Fornby and get back to you.
- Sounds good.
- Thanks, gentlemen.
Got to go.
Let me know the score.
Let's go! See that pan-handler on the corner? - Been there a couple of hours.
- Could be one of the DEA guys.
I got my eye on him.
Let's see what happens.
They're heading your way.
He's clocking you and he's got a radio.
OK, don't let that pan-handler out of sight.
Follow him.
- What's he driving? - Late model Expedition.
Heading straight at you.
Reardon's on the passenger seat.
His bodyguard's driving.
Here he comes.
Follow him.
I'm right behind you.
- We picked up a tail.
- See what happens when I do this.
Pull out again.
Yup, they got two cars.
All right, forget the meeting.
Drive around, try to shake them.
Drop me back at the club.
I can't make the meeting.
Got the DEA all over my ass.
- Are you sure it's the DEA? - I can pull over and ask them All right.
Get off the street.
What's going on with my extradition? I'm trying to get it stalled.
The Crown says it's gonna happen today or tomorrow.
- You said you could swing a deal.
- Looks like I lost.
You have two choices.
One is to stay and fight the evidence.
Fight the evidence.
What are my odds on that? Not good, right? Might have to stay in jail but if you beat the charges you can stay in Canada.
Big IF.
The other option is to leave the country and hope for the best.
What's going on? - Anything I can do? - I don't think so.
The argument I'll make is this.
If you get convicted here, you get two years max.
If you get convicted in the States, it's at least 20.
It's an argument against extradition but so far it's not working.
- You need to give us something big.
- I don't have anything.
- You could give us Dante.
- That's never going to happen.
You said you could protect me.
Now you can't? Doesn't look like I can stave off the extradition.
No.
I'm not letting the DEA take me in my own country.
Don't do anything stupid - What's going on? - I just lost my protection.
Is that guy still there? - Take it easy! - Get out of my way.
Just take it easy! Jim, calm down.
Get off me! Get off! What's the matter, ma'am? Reardon's gone off.
I need to speak to the Inspector General.
- What's happened? - The DEA sent a street crew to kidnap Reardon.
He's threatening to retaliate.
Excuse me.
He's on the line.
Hello, sir.
Sorry to bother you but I've got a big crisis here.
Go ahead.
I've got a rogue DEA crew in Vancouver hunting a top informant.
Could you call somebody and have them called them off before we've got blood on the streets? What's the name? I can't say but I can send you the details.
They've got nothing to justify extradition.
Give me a couple of hours.
I'll get back to you.
Yes, it's the Inspector General for the Attorney General.
I got the board of directors on this Bahama bank.
A lot of sketchy characters.
One of them is Gordon Evans.
He's been involved in money laundering for 20 years, mostly out of Jersey, where he was apparently a go-to guy for the Irish Republican Army in the '80s.
What was his name? Gordon Evans.
Irish citizen.
Who was the banker Julianna said Brown was having dinner with? I believe it was Evans.
Answer your phone! I'm not running away with my tail between my legs.
They've got nothing on me in Canada.
Nothing! I'm not leaving my family because the DEA wants revenge.
Mess around with the DEA, you have an enemy for life.
They're everywhere.
You think they're ever gonna leave me alone? I'm suggesting you don't aggravate the situation cos you're freaking.
And do what then? Nothing? And just let them take me? Stick to the plan.
Get out of town.
I changed my mind.
I don't want to leave my family.
I'm not leaving.
Jesus Christ! You got the DEA trying to kidnap you, the Canadian cops helping 'em out.
How do you gonna survive here? Want to hide in the basement the rest of your life? If I have to.
You're as crazy as your brother.
- It's not your life on the line! - You don't think so? You don't think they're gonna come after me and Bob? You go down, we all go down, whether you like it or not so do us all a favour and get out of town! Excuse me.
The Inspector General's on the line.
- Leave a message.
- Call me.
It's urgent! Daniel, this is heating up.
We need to intervene on the informant's behalf and tell the Attorney General - to call off this extradition order.
- You have new developments? There's a possible connection between the informant and the Blackmire Group.
What connection? The informant just bought a piece of a bank the Blackmire Group is using to launder money.
It puts him in the thick of things.
I'll call you back when I talk with the Attorney General.
Get Ted and Martin in here.
I need your help.
I need to nail Reardon in the next couple of hours.
Or you guys are going to arrest him and I won't get paid.
What do you mean you don't get paid? I'm a freelancer.
- I thought you were DEA.
- I used to be.
Not any more.
If I get Reardon over the line I collect 200 grand.
If I don't, I go home with a hole in my pocket.
- What do you want me to do? - I think I can take him at the club.
I don't have time to bring my guys up.
Maybe a couple of local boys can help us out? - How many guys do you need from me? - Three.
I'll need a couple of hours.
As soon as you can.
We have a big opportunity that is fallen into our laps.
Reardon is about to be placed smacked in the centre of the Blackmire Group's banking circle.
We need Reardon's co-operation to make it happen and he's not answering my calls.
So I'm gonna have you arrest him on a minor charge so the DEA can't grab him before we set this up.
I need half an hour to walk Reardon through.
As soon as I've got the warrant go to the Chickadee and pick him up.
Get a crew together.
I need to speak with Julianna.
Find her and bring her in.
The Attorney General on the line.
I take it you've spoken with the Inspector General.
Yes, exactly.
I need you to phone Crown Counsel and call off the extradition order on Jim Reardon.
I have to take a rain check.
Take it easy.
I don't know what to do.
Suck it up.
You stick to the plan.
Leave the country.
Keep this bank thing together.
A year from now, you're gonna be settled with an all new identity and Francine and Stella can join you.
The shit is gonna come down on you and everybody else.
I know.
I can handle it.
I'll keep an eye on Dante and everything's gonna be fine.
You keep the bank together and the money keeps flowing It's gonna work out.
Just got to tough it out.
Guess it's the way it's gotta be.
Trust me.
I'll look after Francine and Stella.
I know you will.
It's Rene.
I can't get a hold of Jim.
- What's up? - This DEA guy isn't with the DEA.
He's a bounty hunter coming for Jim at the club.
- When's this happening? - Now.
You better tell Jim to fly.
We got our deal.
The Attorney General's called off the extradition order.
It's temporary and it's dependent on Reardon agreeing to inform - on the Blackmire Group.
- The judge signed your warrant.
That's what we need.
Get the warrant.
Get over to the Chickadee and arrest Reardon.
Keep an eye on Dante for a while.
Make sure he sticks to the deal.
This new banker, you're not gonna have time meet him.
Get Coombs to check him out.
If he's good with him, go with him.
I just heard from Rene.
These DEA guys aren't DEA.
They're bounty hunters.
They're gonna grab you at the club tonight.
We gotta get you out of town.
The plane's waiting.
I got your papers.
Gotta say goodbye to Francine and Stella.
Not now.
Bring them to the shipyard.
You can say goodbye at the dock.
I gotta get Jim out of here! - Take care of everybody.
- I will.
I'm flying you over the border.
Going to get you to Mexico, from there, Costa Rica.
James Reardon, I have a warrant for your arrest on charges of conspiracy to possess the proceeds of crime and the possession of proceeds of crime.
Reardon just got arrested.
She's inside.
Thank you.
Take the cuffs off.
- I'd like to speak with my lawyer.
- You don't need a lawyer.
I've cut you a deal.
Thank you, Ted.
What's the deal? I've convinced the Attorney General you're more valuable to us here than rotting in an American jail.
He'll fight the extradition charges as long as you prove yourself a valuable intelligence source.
Meaning what? You're in business with the gentleman Gordon Evans.
In a joint venture with the Irish National Bank, Bahamas branch.
Am I right? What if you are? Mr Evans is having a meeting about now with the director of the organization Blackmire Group.
What if he is? The Blackmire Group is asking Mr Evans to launder a great deal of money through your bank.
We'd like you to facilitate that and provide us with the details.
We wanna know where the money's from - who, what corporations and organizations here in Canada and elsewhere - and where the money goes when it leaves your bank.
It's gonna interfere with my own use of the bank? You'll be able to continue to do whatever it is you plan to do as long as you provide us with the intelligence we require.
What's the catch? You'll no longer be off the books.
You'll be a registered informant.
Your identity will remain confidential but you may at some point in the future be required to provide court testimony.
What if I don't agree? The Attorney General has instructed me to hold you here until you're arrested and turned over to the Americans.
Read this.
If you agree to the terms, sign it.
I'll be outside.
Turn around.
I've got to tuck this in.
It's already on.
You don't have to touch a thing.
When the meeting's over, go to the washroom, remove the camera and stick it in your purse.
All right.
Done.
Now, I'm gonna put this on your lapel.
There you go.
We're gonna drop you off a block from the restaurant.
OK.
Let's go.
Yeah.
I'm on my way.
- Bob, I need to talk to Jim.
- He can't see you.
He's busy.
Tell him I'm not happy with my deal.
I don't think I've been treated fairly.
- I'll tell him.
Wait right here.
- And let him know I brought my lawyer.
Just in case you guys thought you can fuck me over.
Wait here.
- You hear where they're holding Jim? - Just been released.
Gotta pick him up.
He says everything's okay.
Doesn't have to leave the country.
Go pick him up! Hogarty's here making noises.
He wants to open up his deal, doesn't think he was treated fairly.
Keep an eye on him.
Don't let him go.
- Wait here.
Jim's on his way.
- I'll be here.
Are we hanging around or going back to Seattle? It's your dollar.
- Let's see what this guy has to say.
- What's happening? You tell me.
Reardon got arrested and it wasn't the extradition cops.
Can you find out if he's being released or what? Give me an hour.
I'll make some calls.
You all right? - How did it go with Julianna? - Fantastic.
I'm having a look at it.
- What did Reardon have to say? - He signed the deal.
He's agreed to provide us with anything we want.
Julianna was perfect.
Here we go.
They don't get into the nitty-gritty until dessert.
That's the Irish banker, Evans.
That's the CEO of the Blackmire Group, Brown, on his left.
transfer monies from my bank in the Bahamas to anywhere in the world with absolute discretion.
You don't have to worry about it.
- How soon can we get started? - Anytime.
Now.
All we need are your instructions to where to wire the funds.
We have quite a few government officials both here in Canada and in the United States.
They are all gonna need individual accounts.
How much traffic you think you can handle? As much as you require.
We have subsidiaries around the world.
You name it - the Caymans, Europe, the Middle East.
We can put the money wherever it needs to be.
There we have it.
Fantastic.
- Still got this guy on the corner.
- I'm gonna handle that.
Hogarty's waiting for you.
- Reardon's back at the club.
- OK.
It's a go, then, boys.
Hang on.
I got the bodyguard coming at me.
You copy? Copy.
Who's this? You'd better come pick your trash off the street.
Next time you try anything like this, we fire your guy in the fucking morgue.
Jim's ready to see you.
Just you.
It's okay, wait here.
I just want a fair deal, I hope you understand that.
I understand.
He's on the roof, having dinner with his wife and kid.
- Show some respect.
- I will.
Go on.
He's expecting you.
Come see me on the way out.
Let me know what the deal is.
