We need good intelligence.
Hey, Gloria, go see Ron in the office.
Thank you.
Yeah, some of the best I've seen in a long time.
Oh yeah?
Hey, Gloria, what's happenin'?
What kind of bills?
Fifties and hundreds.
We need to put an offer on the table sometime this week.
What's it gonna cost?
45% of 100% of the class A shares.
That's $50 a share from us.
So you gonna do it?
I've spoken to the lawyer, and he's indicated that
that is the figure, so--
That's 50 million in clean cash.
Yes.
Sorry I'm late.
Hey, no worries, thanks for comin'.
So it's cash at the end of the night, okay?
Dressing room's upstairs.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you.
So we don't have that kind of clean money laying around.
How the hell we supposed to get all that?
I'm puttin' up Reardon Shipping as collateral.
John's gonna swing a loan through
a couple of different branches.
I'm already moving the paper on it.
Should be done early next week some time.
It's a smart move, guys, it's gotta be done.
Well, if you wanna put up your company,
I guess it's your call, right?
It's time, gotta do it.
Congratulations, gentlemen.
This time next week, you'll own controlling interests
in the First National Bank of Ireland, Bahama Branch.
Congratulations, I'll need you to sign the WACA documents
early next week, okay?
Yeah, you let me know.
Don't drink too much.
I won't.
Yeah?
When did this happen?
Slow down.
Who got popped?
Jesus Christ, all of 'em?
Okay, find out where they were taken and call Harry.
Make sure all of 'em have a lawyer waitin' for 'em.
And make sure everybody knows that there's a lawyer
just outside the door.
And relax.
Shit.
I'm unarmed, or I'm not packin', right?
Alls I got is a box full of groceries,
and I'm puttin' it down, okay?
See that, there we go.
Hi, George Williams, D.E.A.
Yeah, hi.
You may be aware we arrested some of your associates
in Portland this evening.
I wouldn't know anything about that.
No?
We seized about 200 pounds of weed.
Wouldn't know anything about any weed.
It's 50 years jail time.
Right.
So would you be interested in talking about how
you can shave some time off that sentence?
Yeah well, sure, why not?
Good, take us upstairs.
That's my legit cash in there, by the way.
Good, if you cooperate you can spend it.
How we doin'? Good, you?
The senator sends her regrets.
She was called back to Ottawa.
But it looks like I'm handling this situation for her,
for now anyway.
Alright, what's the latest?
The senator has held a private meeting
with another senior member of the Intelligence Committee.
She wants me to further reiterate to you
that this is an extremely delicate situation.
Right.
You said you thought Mr. Royden had a good relationship
with the deputy minister of security and intelligence?
That was my impression, yes.
Yeah, that's been confirmed.
Okay.
So the senator suggests that all further investigation
into Mr. Royden has to go black.
Right.
The Intelligence Committee or the minister's office
are to receive no information regarding this case
until it's resolved.
Is the senator concerned that perhaps Mr. Royden
has ears into the Intel Committee itself?
More than concerned.
I understand you already have an operator on play
with Mr. Royden?
Correct.
And are you confident that your operator
can play a long game?
Yes.
That's a lot of money they're talkin' about.
I know most of it is yours, I understand that.
Are you sure you wanna roll the dice like that?
Yeah, it's time.
It should've happened a long time ago.
If you're not in, you just say so.
I can cover the difference.
Thanks for subbin' in, babe.
Third time in two weeks Tina's flaked on me.
That girl's gonna have to shape up.
Hey listen, it's cool, I'm in.
But can I suggest before you do any of this
that you sort things out with Francine?
Make sure she doesn't go talk to the cops?
No, don't worry about that.
She's not gonna talk.
She knows how much money you pumped into that
shipping arm, she can lead 'em right to it.
Hey, we'd be havin' all the money in one bank in one place.
I hate to say this, Jim, but I don't trust her anymore.
She's not gonna talk.
Phan, what are you doing here?
You're supposed to be in Hawaii.
Yeah, I just need to take care of a few things first.
I just want to apologize for the robbery going sideways.
That shit happens.
You gotta get out of here, go lay low for a while.
If you need to get hold of me,
you can always talk to Johnnie.
Yeah, we got your numbers, right?
Yeah, yeah I got 'em.
Aloha. Aloha.
Unbelievable.
You gonna be in town for the next few months?
I have no plans to leave.
This may turn into something very long term.
You up for that?
I'm up for that.
Once you become intimately involved with Mr. Royden,
you'll be well rewarded.
I've been rewarded.
You give me my family back, you can ask me to do anything.
Alright, I'll be giving you whatever support you need.
An office for your front operation, an apartment, a car,
a complete backstory and biography.
So if he checks into you, you're covered.
I don't want you to rush into it.
We have dinner plans.
You work fast. He works faster.
Alright, well keep him interested, yeah?
That's the trick.
Have you set a date for the dinner?
Tomorrow evening.
Perfect, so tomorrow day we'll get together,
you'll get the rest of your backstory,
and we'll set you up in your new home.
You wanna know who Mary has watchin' back in Ottawa?
You got somethin' there?
Yeah, she's tight with the chair
of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Who?
Senator Luiz Dugay and Dugay's close minister
for security and intel, they go way back.
Dugay was a deputy minister herself about 15 years ago.
She's got personal ties to Mary through Mary's father.
She's a heavyweight.
Don't go much heavier.
People say she's a regular at the PM's dinner table.
Okay, good job.
Anything else you need?
Yeah, get me what you can on Richard Royden.
He's a CSIS director.
Find out what kinda clout he's got.
Alright, I'm gonna need a couple of days.
Hey. Hello.
I have treats to celebrate.
Celebrate, celebrate
What are we celebrating?
I just floated Jimmy a $50 million loan.
Take it easy, man.
Thanks for comin' around.
Okay, good, let me know.
You think these ATMs are a pain in the ass?
Wait till you try to get this bank purchase approved.
I'm tellin' you, it's not gonna be easy.
If you wanna do it, you gotta get your ducks in a row.
One of those ducks is Francine.
Yeah, I'm handlin' that, hang on.
Yeah, hello?
I need a key for the other dressing room.
The other dancer won't let me share.
Sorry, alright.
This one's right down the hall.
That was Alex in Portland.
He just got robbed in the office, gun to the head.
They took 2 1/2 million.
What's he got 2 1/2 mil lyin' around for?
That was the money they owe us.
He was gettin' ready to fly it on up here.
He's sayin' that was our money that got snatched?
I don't think so.
You want me to go down there, look him in the eye?
Let's just see what happens.
You should've had the money in your bank,
then this wouldn't have happened.
Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about.
Okay, I know, alright.
It's a good idea whose time has come.
Just do me a favor, sort it out with Francine.
I'm handlin' that.
Yeah.
Just make sure everybody plays it for real.
I understand.
Break a leg. Yeah.
I'm arranging another meeting with our gentlemen
selling patents to the Americans.
Has he agreed to work with us?
I think he's ready to go that way.
I'll let you know after the meeting.
Inspector, he's listening on the wire.
Bingham talking to Falcone.
Falcone's put in a big order for munitions.
Thank you.
Lee will rover over faced with that kinda time.
Is he gonna play with us?
Good, what'd he know?
We're going black on this.
Oh, who we after?
Dick Royden.
Dick Royden?
Okay.
Any problems with that?
Oh no, ma'am, no problems.
Sounds like it could be very exciting.
I'm sure we'll have our moments.
So I'm gonna need that bio for Katarina
and a fairly upscale office and an agent to back her up
as a secretary.
Right.
Here we go, this is gonna be a good one.
Mr. Deakins.
Send him in.
Sorry to rush in like this.
What's on your mind?
Dick Royden is apparently going for my head.
Where'd you hear this?
Mallaby came to warn me he was coming to see me
in about an hour.
Any advice?
Be very stubborn, and imply that you have no intention
of leaving your job just yet.
He does not want it coming out that he directed you
to make that call to Hong Kong.
Trust me, he won't let that happen.
You're in the driver's seat.
The important thing is to just convince him
that you're bitter about being dismissed.
Not such a stretch.
Then find out who he has in mind for your job.
I'll tell you how it goes.
Roger, just remember what happened to Lee, yeah?
No mistakes this time.
No mistakes.
Ted.
What the hell's goin' on?
Mary's gunning for Royden.
Holy shit. Yep.
There's a shakeup in the wind.
What's that mean?
It means she may get my job and you may get her job,
and I might retire with a bag of money
if we don't fuck things up.
You find out who's backing her in Ottawa yet?
No, not yet.
Maybe you should talk to your American friend.
Mary finds out about that little plot,
we'll both swing from the rafters.
Better put an end to it.
Hey, we got someone rolling in.
How you doing?
I haven't seen you in a while, everything okay?
Doin' pretty good, you?
Yeah, you want a cup of coffee or somethin'?
No, I just had some.
I'm in a bit of a rush.
No problems, what can I do you for?
Couple of grams if you got it.
Sure, I just got some in.
I'm gonna have to weigh it up.
You mind waiting?
No, do your thing.
You can just eyeball it if you want.
Help yourself to what's on the table there.
I got some nice weed if you want it.
Nah, I'm okay.
How's the family?
Good, yours?
Yeah.
You know what, Doug?
I think I'm not gonna take any today.
What?
Get down on the floor now!
Down, down down! Police!
Hey, we're the cops.
Let's go, get those hands up.
That's it, keep those up.
Keep 'em up, that's it.
Oh.
Bingo, bango, bongo, huh?
Looks like we got about a kilo of blow
and maybe a couple pounds of weed.
Yo, separate 'em, take the guy there up stairs.
You, sweetie, what's your name?
Francine Reardon, I'd like to call my lawyer.
You'll get your chance.
Come on, let's go.
Upstairs with this guy, let's go.
That's it, come on, go.
Anybody else in the house?
Anyone else in the house, huh?
Hey, Jim. Hey.
How you doing? Good.
The accountants are coming by today to look at the books.
You wanna make sure they get everything they need?
Yeah, hey, we still going ahead
with that Bahama thing, is that right?
That's right.
Alright, good move.
Hey, is the doctor in?
Hey, what's up?
Makin' hay, you? Yeah.
So how we doin' with that weed, man?
Where's it at?
It should be comin' any day now.
Still sittin' on that coke you offered me?
Yeah, I'm still sittin' on it.
Did you ever hook up with Dante about that?
No, not yet.
Jimmy. Yeah.
It's Bob on line one.
I gotta take this.
You should get on over and talk to Dante and make the deal.
He's hungry for it.
Okay, I'll give him a call.
Hey man, hurry up on that load.
I mean, we got people waitin' on it.
I'm workin' on it.
But you keep sayin' that.
He's comin' out now.
Stick with him a couple of days.
Hey, yeah we got a little problem.
I gotta get some of that blow over to Dante.
Yeah, I don't know if we wanna get into that right now.
Listen, man, you put me in a bad position here.
These guys are askin' for the blow.
I gotta follow through on that now.
I cannot flake on these guys again.
Just stall, you'll be fine.
Oh shit, and I think I'm being tagged again.
See what I'm sayin'?
These guys got their antennae up again.
And you're askin' me to do shit that is stupid.
I mean, Christ.
Look, you just go home and chill out for a few days
and don't worry about the other thing.
Hey, how we doin'?
Good, we have to talk about transport.
Yeah, we're gonna talk about that now.
Gentlemen, how are we doing? Hey, good.
We need to firm up the transport details.
Right on, let's rock and roll.
Hey, where you going with our booze?
Who are you?
We're the new management.
If you guys want us to leave the booze,
you guys gotta pay for it.
We already paid for it.
Take it up with Ray if you can find him.
Nobody else can.
What are you talkin' about?
Red said he was gonna meet us here and drop us the keys.
He's supposed to meet you, me, and about six other guys.
You want the booze or not?
What do you need?
A grand.
One, two, three, four, five.
Grand.
500 now, 500 later.
Or none now and none later.
Let's go.
I'll be back tonight.
And I'll be here.
Shit, you got an address for him?
Sorry, I would've been over there givin' him a beating
right now if I did.
Good luck.
Let me know if you find him.
Hey, what do you got?
Nothin', a bunch of receipts, business cards.
Address books. Come on.
We're on the sixth floor, what's your story?
Born in Odessa.
Father a vodka salesman, mother a housewife.
Both parents are deceased.
No immediate family, one uncle who still lives in Odessa.
And that is when I came over in 2002 with a touring
dance company as a stage manager and stayed.
And your marital status?
Widowed, had to go back to work.
No time for a love life, that is until I met
the handsome and dashing Mr. Dick Royden.
Okay, you obviously don't need me to tell you
how to bullshit.
I invented it.
This is us here.
Phone should be in by this afternoon.
You'll have a secretary as of tomorrow.
Lovely.
You take him downtown, we'll be along.
Why don't you guys take off and leave us alone for a bit?
So... Francine Reardon.
I believe you used to be married
to Jimmy Reardon, that right?
I'm not talking to you until I see my lawyer.
Here's how this works, Sweetie.
You're sittin' here with a kilo of blow
and a couple of pounds of weed.
It's not gonna take much to get you convicted
on trafficking, you wanna know why?
'Cause dickhead here just told me you delivered
the blow to him.
He's lying.
I thought he was pretty convincing.
He also told me he thought you got the blow
from your ex-husband, that right?
No.
I like his story a whole lot better.
It's a lie.
10 years for trafficking.
You're out in five if you're lucky.
What's the deal?
The deal is you testify against your ex, you walk.
Kiss my ass.
Yeah?
That's a nice offer, maybe later.
Let's do a deal first.
I'm not testifying against anybody.
Arrest me, go ahead, it won't stick.
Why, 'cause Jimmy's gonna have Dougie kill me?
That's the kinda thing he does right?
I wouldn't know, we're divorced.
Okay.
So... let's say you don't testify directly.
Let's say we don't arrest you.
You just give us information about what you know
about your husband's dealings on the QT, how's that sound?
You got SFA on me.
I'm not holding.
I came in for a cup of tea and sympathy.
Call my lawyer.
Apartment 200, I think it's his girlfriend's place.
Says Joanna on the buzzer.
Is he up there now?
That's his ride right there.
I'm gonna be reachable at that hotel in Vegas
for a bout a week, right?
Anybody comes lookin' for me here you know what to do, okay?
She's coming.
Who is it?
It's the Vancouver Police Department.
He's not here, he's not here!
Please don't hurt him, he's a good boy.
No, he's not a good boy.
He's a very bad boy, understand?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Inspector.
How'd your meeting with Royden go?
Well, from what I gather, he sees himself
as the new head of Asia Pacific region for CSIS.
Jesus.
Did he say what his plans for me were?
You're out the door soon as he can find something
to hang on you.
How long can you manage to stay in the job?
Not long.
If you're gonna take him down, you better do it fast.
Thank you.
Sorry to call at this hour, Senator.
It's Mary, please give me a call when you can.
It's urgent.
I'm gonna go with Francine.
Oh good, yeah, yeah.
She passed with flying colors, wouldn't say shit.
Yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, we hit her over at Doug's place.
He almost shat his pants when we first come in, right?
You know, he played along, did his part.
He was good. Alright, there you go.
Francine's a tough chick, Jim.
You got no worries there.
Thanks.
Hey, anytime, it's fun playing the cops for a change.
Jim, got a minute?
Sure.
So Ronnie wants me to do this stash house thing.
You guys know about that, right?
Yeah, and I appreciate it.
Well you know I'm not just a stash house girl, right?
Right, yeah, I know.
So how's this gonna work?
Am I gonna get a percentage or what?
You're gonna have to work that out with Ron.
Yeah, well he keeps sayin' I can't get the condo
in my name.
You can't get the condo in your name.
I mean, if it gets busted, which it won't,
but it all comes straight back to us.
It's gotta be a numbered company.
You don't want your name on it.
Alright, okay, I get that.
You know, I gotta figure how am I gonna make out on this?
I don't wanna get burned if he dumps me or whatever.
You gotta work it out with Ron.
You cool with the percentage thing?
Yeah, I'm cool with it, just work it out with Ronnie.
Okay thanks, thank you.
Thank you very much, this was wonderful.
I don't remember the last time that I was on a date.
I'm usually in bed by now.
I'm glad you're having a good time.
Can I risk spoiling the evening by talking
a little business?
A little business, sure why not?
You know the town well.
I like to think so.
Would you have some time to show me around a little?
I'm thinking of relocating here.
I'd like to look at some real estate.
I could put you in touch with a very good agent.
I don't want an agent just yet.
I thought maybe you could show me
some of the nicer neighborhoods.
Sure, it is a family neighborhood you're looking for?
No, no family.
I haven't met the right woman yet.
No, why not?
I travel a lot with the job.
It's hard to meet people outside of the business.
You haven't told me exactly what it is that you do.
I'm in international sales for a computer outfit.
They've offered me a position out here in charge
of the Asia Pacific region.
So maybe I'll actually get to settle down.
Maybe make some new friends.
I'm hoping, anyway.
Well, I'd love to show you the city.
Let's make a date.
Perfect.
To new friends.
New friends.
You gotta get out of town for a while.
I think I'm just gonna lay low.
I don't need to split.
You can't hang around.
Dante's gonna go crazy if he finds out we killed his nephew.
He's not gonna figure it out.
You know, I can hold up here.
You know, I don't know why we should be taking
all the heat for this anyways.
Why don't we let Reardon and his boys battle it out,
let the disciples and Reardon go after each other,
and when the dust settles, we come back?
Maybe they've taken each other out.
We can get some peace for a while.
Let me think about it.
What's to think about?
Couple weeks in Maui.
I'll come over, we'll do some surfing, relax a little.
Yeah, maybe.
Okay, you know what, call me later.
Alright, man, later.
The Chinese deliver to Vancouver,
they drop their containers here, you handle the trip south.
And how many containers you got comin' in?
Three so far, but I can use more.
And they're comin' here when?
Could be five or six weeks.
Does that work for you?
I can swing it.
Good.
So you'll be in touch.
I will be in touch, yeah.
Salud.
Yes, sir.
See you later.
Listen, one more thing, not to guild the lily here,
but I'm working a side deal.
I got a good connect with some pretty good blow.
Any chance you can move that stateside for me?
You wanna move blow into the states?
Yeah, I got a couple of tons.
Well, my people do, not me personally.
You interested?
Nah, I could put you in touch with somebody.
Well, I don't know these other people, Jim.
I know you, you know me.
I like to keep it in the family.
Let's just do this one thing before we start talking
about another, how's that?
Yeah, sure, sure, but I don't know how long I have
to move this coke.
I don't wanna lose this deal.
Hello, beautiful.
I'll put you in touch with somebody.
That's all I can do.
Let me think about that.
Alright, take it easy.
Always.
Hello?
Hey, it's Jim.
Hey, Tina, how you doing?
Hey, Jimmy.
So what's the story with you and John these days?
You hooked up now or what?
We're seeing each other,
but I wouldn't say we're hooked up.
So I guess you know we got something cooking now.
No, he doesn't tell me anything.
Hm? No.
Alright, you let me know if he starts talkin'
about my business, alright?
Sure.
Alright, you gotta talk to Ronnie.
I think he's startin' to get a little pissed off
you haven't been showing up for work.
Okay, I will, thank you.
Hi, how are you?
What'd you learn?
He's got cold hands and a loose tongue.
Anything useful?
He says he works for an international computer firm,
that he's been asked to relocate out here,
and that he's looking to buy some real estate.
He's moving out here?
Yes, apparently he's going to be in charge
of the Asia Pacific region.
Asia Pacific, he used those words?
Uh huh.
Shit.
It's a deal straight out of the factory in China.
They deliver to the port here.
He's gonna want me to take it from here down to Guatemala.
Sounds like a pretty big play.
It's a pretty fuckin' big risk to my business
if I get nailed.
You won't get nailed.
It's a protected run?
Yeah, you'll be protected.
You'll protect me down in Guatemala, really?
Falcone will protect you in Guatemala.
And what do I get out of it?
I'm gonna help you with your banking problems.
Oh yeah, how's that gonna work?
You're gonna run into problems with your bank machines.
You know about those, do you?
Yeah, I know about those.
So what kinda problems am I gonna run into?
The bank you were using before you shifted accounts
is raising some questions with commercial crime.
That's good to know.
I have a friend I'm gonna introduce you to,
runs a money exchange.
You can do better with him.
Take your money direct off shore.
Interested? Yeah, very.
Okay, I'll set it up.
Sounds good.
Thought you'd like it.
Yeah?
You said it was urgent?
Have you heard anything about Mr. Royden
moving out here to Vancouver?
Perhaps temporarily, why?
Is there any possibility that he's gonna
take over up there?
I haven't heard anybody propose that.
Was he ever on the list of candidates?
I don't believe so.
Let me know what moves he's making.
I'll have to call you back on that.
Thank you.
I'm gonna be interviewing Ted Altman
if you care to join us.
Sure.
So what were you thinking there?
I'm thinking we're going to need somebody we can count on
down in the organized crime unit.
Rather the devil you know. Always.
Yo, here comes the mother.
Yeah, she's making a phone call.
You see anybody?
There's nobody here.
All clear.
Okay.
Where we goin'? Jesus.
Is that my 200 Gs in the bag, Ray?
Uh huh.
How much do you owe on the club?
Six.
600,000.
Lying piece of shit!
Jesus.
Yeah, yeah I see him, thanks.
Yeah.
That's our money in the bag, Red.
No, no, no, hang on, some of that money is mine.
You can't take it all.
Wrong again, Ray.
Jesus, come on, man.
You can't leave me busted.
Why don't you tell your momma, okay?
Bitch.
What are you lookin' at?
Nothing.
I wasn't looking at you.
You were looking at me in the bar.
I didn't notice.
Excuse me.
Hey, Ted, get this.
Your Richard Royden, he's first in line to become
head of the western CSIS office.
You're shittin' me.
That's the word goin' 'round in Ottawa.
What are you drinkin'?
Same.
Yeah, hello?
Yeah, Ronnie, it's me.
That money that was stolen wasn't ours.
Let's get that straight right now.
That was your money.
Our money that you owe us is still safe in your bank, right?
Listen, bro, I'm gonna pay you, alright?
Don't worry about it.
Guess what, I am worried about it.
Listen, here's the deal, okay?
I'm a little jammed up.
I'm gonna need some more product
so I can get back on top.
I can pay you back.
You want some more product so you can get that ripped too.
Don't make us come down there.
Well, maybe that's a good idea.
Maybe you should come down here, alright?
You can see my bruises.
You can see my broken fuckin' arm.
How 'bout that?
I got a better idea.
Why don't you come on up here and bring some money along?
How's that?
You don't want me comin' down there, man, believe me.
Is he looking to buy something out here?
Uh huh, he asked me to show him around town
and then look at some properties.
Come in.
So this is the pad?
Uh huh.
Safe to talk?
I hope so.
Well, the shit as officially hit the fan.
The senator thinks that Royden's a big fish
and we shouldn't be trying to flush him out just yet.
What exactly does that mean?
That means that we should keep him in place,
try and turn him.
She thinks I should try and turn him.
Yep.
I should just call the senator and talk to her.
That's not gonna be an easy thing to do.
You're not talking to the senator directly anymore.
You're just talking to me.
Is that right?
Yeah, that's right.
She can't be directly involved anymore,
you know what I mean?
And don't leave any more messages on her answering machine.
If you want to talk to the senator, give me the message.
Okay, so what exactly is the new approach?
He's a double agent, we should study him a while.
See exactly what it is he's doing.
What he's doing is setting himself up to run
the western office of CSIS.
Surely we don't want that to happen.
Well, the senator thinks it's better
if we watch him a while.
So when you want something passed on,
just give me a shout, okay?
I want something passed on.
Shoot.
Tell the senator I think it's a very bad idea
to let Dick Royden continue at CSIS.
Yeah, I'll let her know.
In the meantime, keep me up to date on how your operator
is doing, okay?
What's this about?
Didn't say.
Hey, how you doin'?
Getting by, what's up?
Hear anything about my nephew?
Nothin' so far.
You got somebody inside the cops, you ask them?
Yeah, they don't know shit about it.
It's fuckin' Vietnamese.
I've had trouble with them before.
Yeah, I heard.
You think this was some kinda retaliation for that?
I got no idea.
Thought maybe you can find out for me.
We haven't heard anything.
But you deal with the Viets, am I right?
Yeah, sometimes.
Wanna tell me about that?
Not really.
Okay, so I guess I'm gonna have to ask this guy
what he knows.
If I find out you had anything to do with killing my nephew,
I'm gonna start burnin' some shit then.
