Intelligence (2006) s01e10 Episode Script

Things Change

So, Luiz is gonna run it for you, take it across the border to the motel.
When you get there, drop off the keys in his room, pick up the car waiting for you and come back.
I'll call you when I get on the other side.
Just keep it loose, huh? Watch him cross the border then get set up in your room.
Cool? This is it.
Good.
Let me know when they're over the line.
They've just left the yard.
Let's get lucky.
This bank is the best bet.
It's closely held by a family of British ex-pats who are having financial difficulties.
So I put in a call and I said there's interest.
- This is the one in the Bahamas? - What's the figure? 50 million.
Gets us 45% of that bank.
What I like about it is, the family owns the rest of the stock.
They're in the back.
Anyone who uses your ATMs, their bank wires the money directly to the island.
Which means all the money from your machines goes right offshore.
So once it's in the islands, we can send it anywhere without anyone reporting it? You can send it anywhere in the world, no questions asked, instantly, 24-7.
Guys, sorry I'm late.
Jimmy, you got a second? Yeah.
Ronnie told me that he spoke with Francine.
She was threatening and implying she was gonna talk to the police.
Don't worry.
I got that covered.
What are you gonna do? If she talks, we're doomed.
Don't worry about it.
I'm taking care of it.
So what did we decide? We were just talking about the bank in the Bahamas.
- Is that your pick, the Bahamas? - I don't care.
I just don't wanna be chasing a new tax haven.
This sounds like the most consistent.
The Bahamas is best.
There's no change in the status coming soon and the money's gonna be safe for at least five, possibly ten years.
Better be.
Glass of white, please.
- How are we doing? - That depends on you, whether you let me grab my guy and go.
Not gonna happen anytime soon, not right now.
My whole thing falls apart.
What does "not right now" mean? It means I still need to know what Falcone and the DA are up to.
I think you can figure that out from what we've heard so far.
Falcone's gonna run guns to Guatemala - And they're gonna let him - Thank you.
run coke to the States.
I think we've seen that before.
What more do you need to know? Specifics.
Not a just vague rumour of conspiracy.
I need to know if this is a sanctioned Government thing or if this is a rogue DEA agent doing this on his own, and what's going on in Guatemala.
That might be difficult to determine.
That's why I want your wire left on the boat and you monitoring it.
For how long? Until I can get my operator on the inside of this triangle.
When I've got what I need for Falcone, it's all yours.
- When? - I'll have a better idea in a few days.
Will I be able to grab him here? - I wouldn't want to know about it.
- You won't.
Thank you.
- Hey, how you doing? - Good.
I've got a truck coming in the next few minutes.
Everything's cool? - Yeah.
- Good.
Tell them park it down beside the rigs.
- Absolutely.
- You're in 107.
Thank you.
Bring it on.
The load is just pulling in.
Hold on, let me get this.
Yeah? - I'm watching the game.
- Yeah, me too.
Keep it going.
It sounds like it'll be a go with the Bahamas.
I'll put you in touch with the family, we can start talking.
We're done.
Loads were picked up by the Portland crew.
Ryan's got the cash.
They picked up a load.
And it looks like their counter surveillance is heading back home.
Have a good one.
You know I will.
How did it go? We're getting, after Mary gets what she needs from this DEA guy.
What's happening? The stockbroker just arrived.
They're getting high.
We have a delivery next week.
- Just say where you want it shipped.
- But you're gonna get more, right? Oh, yeah.
Sure.
I'm supposed to meet my supplier some tome tomorrow.
So, can we get a catalogue of what they have? A catalogue? Sure.
They have just about everything that's available.
You just gotta let me know.
- Can you get rocket launchers? - Rocket launchers! Are you kidding? Of course! This thing is already underway! The stockbroker meets his supplier tomorrow.
Thank you.
Go on.
They were talking about moving some money to a bank in the Bahamas.
- Who was talking? - Jimmy's lawyer, and the banker.
- Your banker boyfriend? Same guy? - Yeah.
That's what I need to know.
What's going on there? Can you stroke him, get some good pillow talk? When am I going to be getting my visa? Do you know? When you get me what I need.
The first load's over the line.
It's travelling south.
We got it covered? We'll watch and see who takes delivery, see what happens, until we get a good snapshot of the US distribution.
- Good job.
- We try.
I got a question for you.
Fire away.
This this next load coming in with cocaine Isn't that weird? I don't think he's into the coke trade.
I'm sitting on a lot of coke right now.
You promised Reardon you can supply him with another 400 or 500 pounds of weed.
- You're gonna follow through on that.
- It's gonna be harder for us.
Like I say, I got access to some coke right now, so - it'd be the same thing.
- No, it wouldn't be the same thing.
He doesn't deal in coke.
Nor do his distributors.
It's a different breed.
There's no harm in asking him, right? What if he says no? Then we're gonna know the way they work.
Why do you even care? He's gonna be facing heavier charges stateside if he is trafficking coke.
I don't like it.
There's no pattern.
The thing is, we got the coke right now that could take a while to get up there.
All right.
Try the coke Kyle.
- Hey.
So how we doing? - Good.
Other than some guy getting stabbed the other night.
- What was that about? - No idea.
We don't usually get much of that.
You know my partner Red.
Yeah, I see you around.
How you doing? - Can we talk business? - Sure.
- We wanna buy the club.
- Yeah? OK - You know I'm asking two million? - Yeah.
- Is your brother back in yet? - No.
It's me and Red.
We got it covered.
- Any debts we should know about? - No.
She's clean.
- How's the building? - Good.
Well, it might need a new roof.
A couple of leaks here and there.
Five, ten grand should cover it.
OK, look, I got a little proposition for you.
You take half the money under the table, straight cash.
- Then what, sell for $1m on paper? - That way you won't have to pay tax.
Like the sound of that.
So that's $1,750,000, half of it in cash.
$1,800,000 and you got a deal.
All right.
So, Red's gonna be the official owner.
His name's going down on the paper.
- When can we do this? - Any time.
- I'm gonna need a downpayment.
- Right here Gentlemen, follow me.
What you got? 200g.
Beautiful! So how's the ammunition shipment going? Not much.
I'm just waiting on a call from the broker.
So nothing's happening? No, it's gone quiet! What about the gentleman you met the other night? The other night? What night are you referring to? The night you met with a man called Falcone.
Not sure which guy we're talking about.
The other night on the boat.
You met Falcone from the DEA.
DEA? You didn't know that.
- That blond guy's DEA? - Yeah.
You're in a deeper pile of shit than you figured.
Better start being straight with me or I'll throw you to the sharks.
Er, s-sorry, I'm just I'm having a hard time keeping things straight.
I have so many things to keep track of, I just - I just have to get out of it all.
- I'm gonna protect you.
I'm terrified someone's gonna find out we're talking.
I can protect you and help you get out of this, set you up where you can start over.
- A witness protection programme? - Something like that.
We can help you get a new identity.
OK.
You're safe.
Just relax.
Take a few deep breaths.
Are you gonna be sick? You're meeting with your ammunition supplier tomorrow, right? - Yeah, Mr Chin tomorrow at his place.
- OK, we'll be watching.
- OK.
- OK, good.
Take care.
You too.
- Mallaby's asked for a meeting.
- What to say? I've decided to remain in my position until my retirement compensation is sorted.
That should buy us a couple of weeks till it's sorted.
Good luck.
Altman.
I got a guy watching the truck.
Just outside of Portland.
Thanks.
- How are we doing with Dagmar? - I'm on my way to a meeting now.
Morning.
Mr Chin.
Hello.
Sir.
- So how's business? Pretty good? - Excellent.
Good news.
These guys want a big order.
Want a catalogue? He wants to pick and choose a bunch of stuff.
He's mostly interested in rocket launchers.
- Where's delivery? - Right here in Vancouver.
Good.
- Where's he going? - To Guatemala.
Please take me down there.
I think I'm gonna hook up with Reardon.
Thanks.
Hey, are these our prices? - Those are his prices.
- Really? - What do we make on our mark-up? - 35 percent.
Nice.
What's my commission? 15 percent of 35.
I'm doing all the hustling here and bringing everyone together.
I was thinking at least 20.
- 17.
- 18.
All right.
18.
Thanks.
I'll tell you when I get the order.
Yeah.
You're gonna get a call from Bingham.
He's looking for transport.
- You gotta do this for me.
- What does he need? He'll state the deal when he calls.
- How we doing down on the farm? - Good, roof is in.
Lots of ventilation coming this week.
Right, so that's three months to the first crop.
- More or less.
- What you got here? Two million in 20s.
- 80 on the dollar.
I owe you 1.
6.
- Yes, sir.
It should take me two to three weeks to get that done.
No problem.
- Take it easy.
- You too.
- So how we doing? - Good.
You wanna do me a favour? Get this up to Luiz at the gym.
I got a guy coming by.
Right.
Hey, the new guy, Winston, - that's some good product he's got.
- Liqueur? - Yeah.
He's got more coming? - Yeah, 400 pounds.
Cool.
I could use that.
They're calling for more down south.
Hey, Fred.
Come on in.
- What you got for me? - I hear you're looking for some barges.
I just don't think he's gonna go for smuggling the coke.
There's no reason for him to get into that business.
He'll get a good price and he's a smuggler.
What's the difference? I just think he's gonna say no.
Coke brings a whole new attitude with it.
It raises the stakes.
in fuckin' town.
Gentlemen.
What's the story? Winston thinks Reardon will go for the coke.
Yeah? Do you think? Yeah.
If I make him a good offer.
Why not? He's into the money.
- Have you got a back story with him? - Yeah, I've got some friends down in Columbia.
Spent some time down there.
I'll get the details.
OK.
I don't really give a shit.
If he goes for it, give a shout.
- I think I can make a sale.
- Good call.
Things are shifting round at the OCU.
I'm gonna be interviewed for the top job when Mary moves on.
That's good, right? Yeah.
So we really gotta make sure my ass is covered here.
I don't want any problems in the middle of all this.
You're covered.
Nobody's gonna find out.
Good.
- You got a minute? - Yes, sir.
I just spoke to Mr Deakins.
He's refusing to resign until we've sorted a compensation package.
Really? What's that about? I'm not sure.
It seems he might have some sort of leverage somewhere.
Does he? I'm sure he knows where some bodies are buried.
- Looking for a little hush money.
- Apparently.
Let me know how that works out.
While I have you here, I need to ask you about Mr Royden.
Yes? It's obvious he has no interest in my getting Deakins' job.
You've done nothing to endear yourself.
What would? Giving him the files on your informants might help.
I'd be giving away all my leverage.
What am I without my informants? Out the door.
You might find yourself out the door in any case.
Do you think? I don't think you can build up your own little fiefdom and expect that to go down well.
Has he suggested who he'd like to see in Deakins' job? - No.
- Let me know when he does, yeah? You're dancing with one foot in the grave, Mary.
I know where I stand.
I'm just trying to figure out where everybody is.
I imagine you're gonna find out pretty shortly.
Mr Royden's coming back to town tomorrow and I'm - sure he's gonna want a word with you.
- The sooner the better.
If you want a brand-new barge, it's gonna cost you two mil, minimum.
One in this condition here, I can let you have it for 750 or 900,000.
- How many of these do you have? - Just this one right now.
I got another half dozen coming.
They'll be available when? This one's pretty much ready to go.
The others will take a couple of months apiece, depending.
Sounds good.
Listen, there's something I wanna tip you to that you might wanna make a bid on.
The Government's got a big ferry contract coming up.
- Do you wanna get in on that? - I'd love to, but they won't even return my calls.
They contract out of the country.
I got connections with the Government.
If you want me to get a meeting for you, I can.
I've got a brother-in-law in the Ministry.
I'd love to have a shot at that kind of work.
I'd appreciate it.
- I'll see what I can do.
- There's a little something for you - if we're successful.
- I'll try to get it rolling, then.
How is it? Here.
I made a copy of the munitions catalogue.
Thank you.
Everything's all right? I'm just going to a meeting now with that DEA guy and the coke dealer.
- Have you met Reardon about transport? - Tomorrow night at the club.
Let me know after.
- So have we heard anything? - No, not yet.
Here's our friend.
Gentlemen, how we doing? Did you order? - No, we just got here.
- Great.
There's the catalogue I promised you.
DEA's stockbroker Falcone.
Out for lunch.
Thank you.
What's new? I got a call from one of the Canadian boys.
He's back in town for another meeting.
- Another meeting with who? - Same as before.
The Americans, the Chinese.
I guess the deal is going forward.
- Where's the meeting? - Same place.
All right, I'm gonna want to meet with him this time.
Give me a call when he's alone in his room.
Thank you.
- This is very generous.
- Thank you.
Maybe we can get together a bit later on, - after I see our boy.
- Whenever.
- You know where to find me.
- I do.
- She's very sweet.
- I can't believe how much she's grown.
- How's your mother adjusting? - We're very happy, thanks to you.
I need you to seduce someone for me.
- What kind of a girl do you need? - Not another girl.
I need you for this one.
Someone special? Very special.
You got that weed in? What's going on? No.
My partner sold it to another guy.
- But I've got some blow.
- No, I need the weed, I'm counting on it.
I know, it was my fuck up.
I apologize.
I got this coke and figured you'd be interested.
I need the weed.
- Coke's not my thing.
- OK.
Maybe we should check this over.
It's straight out of the jungle, buddy.
I can put you in touch with a guy for the blow, but I'm not interested.
OK, good enough.
So when you got some more weed coming? Let me make some calls.
Look, it was my screw-up.
My guy saw the cash and got greedy and made a quick sale.
You let me know.
- I can take all you got.
- I'll be in touch.
I'll get in touch with that guy about the other thing.
Make it quick.
I don't wanna be sitting on it.
You wanted to know where Mr Royden stays when he's in town.
- He's got a room at the Fairmark.
- Thank you.
Senator Tugay's assistant called.
- She wants to meet for drinks.
- OK, set that up, please.
I spoke to Dagmar.
She got a call from one of the Canadians involved in the seed meeting.
He's smitten.
Told her he's coming back to town to close the deal, so - it might take a meeting.
- Perfect.
I'm using Katarina for something special.
- I'd like you to handle that as well.
- Sure.
I think I've found a condo for a stash.
- But I got a hitch.
- What's that? - A sweet one.
Forget her name.
- I don't think that's a good idea.
That's what I said.
She's putting her foot down.
As long as she understands the risk, go for it.
- You don't think she'll talk? - No.
She understands.
- Do you think she'd run the money? - Don't know, I could ask.
- Are you cool with it? - I'm cool.
Dante's here.
Wants a meeting.
What's it about? Didn't say.
Take him upstairs, have some drinks sent up.
- What's that about? - No idea.
Let's go.
Thank you.
- Hi.
- Roxanne Jameson.
Senator sends her regrets.
She was called back to Ottawa, - so she asked me to take the meeting.
- Good to meet you, Roxanne.
- What are you drinking? - Something white.
A glass of Pinot Grigio.
The Senator seems to think you've really stumbled in to something.
I have? She wanted you to know that Mr Royden has been investigated before on suspicion of dealing in patent documents.
- Who investigated? - Special Inquiry.
He was exonerated twice.
Interesting.
The Senator spoke of senior member of the Ministry and they are very eager to have you try and flush out Mr Royden.
Excuse me, what does that mean? She advised them of your situation, how you previously flushed them all out that led to suspicion of another higher up, our Mr Royden, and they are intent on assisting you.
You have clear sailing.
You have support from the top.
Thank you.
I assume you have some sort of strategy up your sleeve.
Yes, I do.
Good.
Don't fuck it up.
Thanks.
Any word on who killed your nephew? Time will tell.
I heard you guys got your bank machines in the stadium.
- Right.
- We gonna come to an agreement - or heading for a showdown? - If you've got an offer, let's hear it.
If you give me those spots, I'll give you a taste of every dollar.
What kind of taste? - Three points.
- Three cents on the dollar? You don't have to come here for that.
I could I say you to go fuck yourself on the phone.
All right, let's forget about the bank machines for a minute.
It's a good business, but it's a pain in the ass and it doesn't solve the problem.
I'm not getting cleaned all the money I gotta get clean, are you? No.
That's why I need your machines.
Even with the ATMs, you're washing what, 15 percent of all the money you got coming in? More or less.
Right.
So let's talk about the big picture.
If could land your money offshore, would you be interested? - I already run stuff offshore.
- I mean getting it all offshore.
- How much can you handle? - All you got.
Maybe ten, 15 million a month.
I'd be interested in that.
If you're in, we've gotta stop fighting over the ATM's.
- When will this be? - Next few months.
I really don't wanna any more about these goddamn ATMs.
OK, if this happens like the way you say it will happen, I'd be OK with that.
- How much would you want to take? - More than three points.
More like 15.
Or we get the details if and when it happens.
Oh, it's gonna happen.
- Let me know.
- Hey, listen, I got a guy sitting on 50kg of coke.
If you're interested, I'll put the two of you together.
Yeah, sure.
Set it up.
Take it easy.
- Nicely done.
- We'll see.
It keeps him off our backs for now.
Three-point little prick! - Better our friend than an enemy.
- Yeah, I guess.
- Fellas, morning.
How we doing? - Good.
You? Good, yeah.
- So, how we doing? - Can you get us this? - That's a big order.
- Can you do it? - If you have the money.
- We have the money.
What about transportation? Can you arrange everything? Yeah.
I've got a meeting today.
Should be no problem.
- This is all going to Guatemala, right? - Right.
How difficult will that be? Once you're in Guatemala, you're untouchable.
- Sweet.
- Excuse me.
I'll take this one.
- Go ahead.
- We're on the move again.
Looks like we're heading into downtown Portland.
- We're on the move.
- What did Reardon say about the coke? He's not gonna go for that.
All right, listen, can we hammer this guy down there soon? I'm getting twitchy about how long this is taking.
You want me to jump on the first guy down there? I think we gotta squeeze it now.
200 pounds is gonna put Reardon away, am I right? Yeah, that'll do it.
Then let's bust these guys and put the fire to their balls.
You got it.
This is how it's gonna play out.
We're gonna call Mr Royden at his hotel as soon as he lands.
Tell him you're taking him to dinner.
Pick him up from the lobby bar at 7:15.
- What's the meeting about? - It's a stall.
Try and negotiate a good exit.
Remind him of all the years you put in, service, the usual.
Dagmar's leaving with the Canadian this afternoon.
- How do you want me to handle it? - Go at him.
Break him down.
Call Katarina.
Tell her she's gotta work tonight, 7pm.
- Let me know the scenario.
- Yes, ma'am.
- How we doing? - Same as usual.
No problems.
Get it unloaded and bring it down into 50-pound lots.
We got guys waiting for this.
I don't want it sitting around longer than noon today, OK? Sounds good.
The wood looks good.
I'm glad you like it.
We got a lot of construction happening down here, - so we can use whatever you got.
- Let me see what I can do.
- Might be a week or two.
- The sooner the better.
I'll let you know.
I got someone interested in your coke.
- He's expecting a call.
- Who's this? - Dante, head of the Disciples.
- Oh, yeah? If something happens, you give me a taste? You got it.
- How's it going with the weed? - Another week.
I got 200 pounds coming.
- I'll take it all.
- I'll be looking out for you.
Take it easy.
Things are starting to move quickly.
Looks like I'll be moving upstairs in a while.
- Jesus, what happened? - I found a friend in Ottawa.
And? You'll have to decide whether you're coming over there with me.
- Can I think about it? - Not too long.
- May I help you? - I sure hope so.
I'm with the Organised Crime Unit.
Have you got time to talk before your meeting? What's this about? It's about the patents you've been offering to the Americans and the Chinese.
They don't believe you own these patents.
I believe they belong to the Government.
I think I wanna call my lawyer.
Forget about your lawyer and come to work for me.
I'll make you look like a hero.
We need to let this gun deal develop and I'm asking for some patience.
Falcone's gonna be sitting on at least $10m worth of guns.
If you're lucky, a load of coke as well.
If you turn him in, I'll make sure you're the first ones in on it.
You'll get a cut.
It'll be a bigger pay day in the end.
I need to get paid a little something now.
We put the wire in there for you.
There's 10,000 a piece for what you did so far.
Do you want the camper? You can have it for another ten.
- Five.
- Done.
You want the wire left on? That's another 8,000.
Five.
All right, five.
You can owe me the rest.
Here's ten.
Split it.
- How bad we pissed you off? - This helps - What happens in the meantime? - I let the deal develop.
- When I'm happy, I give you a call.
- I need your word - that we get the first shot at him.
- You get the first shot.
As always.
Happy hunting, gentlemen.
- What do you wanna do? - I need some Christmas money.
There's this guy over in Alberta, we should take a look at him.
- What's the story? - Some kind of scam artist.
I think Treasury's looking at it.
It's 200 million.
Why not? - Want anything from the camp? - Nah.
Let's travel.
It's all about uranium, this thing.
Got any interest? Never had much luck in the market.
It's about having the right information.
Never had much of that either.
Let's talk in the office.
We got some big wheels under this thing.
All the orders have been placed.
It's just about arranging the transport.
And that, my friend, is where you come in.
It's been 25 years since I did something like this.
- It'll be fine.
When is the meeting? - 7:15.
If you arrive and something's happening, don't interrupt it.
He should be there now.
Red hair, 42, 5ft 10in.
I'm in the hotel now.
I don't see him.
Wait, maybe this is him.
Thank you.
Are you Ben? No, I'm Richard.
Oh.
I'm looking for Ben.
I'm late.
Maybe he left.
Maybe he'll be back.
Do you mind? No.
Please.
A vodka and martini.
There wasn't a gentleman here earlier waiting? Sorry, not yet.
You're waiting for someone too? Yeah.
I'm beginning to think we're in the same boat.
Oh, wait, maybe this is him.
Thank you.
- Na zdorovje.
- Na zdorovje.
- You don't speak Russian, no? - A little.
Enough to get by.
I spent some time there a few years back.
Oh, I miss it.
I'd love to go back.
I just don't have enough time.
- What is it you do? - I'm in the hospitality industry.
I'm an event planner.
If you ever want to throw a big party, you come to me! Not like that, you know! I'll give you a business card.
- I'll take you up on it sometime.
- Please.
Whatever you need, we make good parties.
Oh, maybe this is him.
I'm afraid this is for me.
Are you here in town? Yes, I'm upstairs.
I have a suite.
Come and see me, I'll show you what we do.
Are you around later? No.
Tomorrow.
Are you in the hotel? I'm staying here.
Well, then.
I'll be up late tomorrow.
If it's not after ten, come up.
This is me.
This is my meeting.
See you then.
- Hello.
- Done.
Thank you.
When are we going to be able to spend the night together? Wouldn't go down well with the wife.
"Sorry.
I can't make breakfast.
Can you kiss the kids for me?" - Have you seen my other sock? - Why can't you just tell her you're going away some weekend on business? Do you think that we have a future? I'm not gonna have a future if I'm not home ten minutes ago! - Here's the sock.
- I think I'm falling in love with you.
Sorry, baby.
I can't leave my marriage right now.
When? Have you seen my briefcase? I don't think you had it with you.
- When? - When? How about next weekend? The weekend after this next weekend? It's a three-day holiday.
We can be together.
