Intelligence (2006) s01e12 Episode Script

Dante's Inferno

Let's go.
Let's go.
Call Bob.
Tell him to get down here right away.
- Is he gonna talk? - Everybody talks eventually.
- Bob, where are you? - What's up? We're on Georgia heading for the viaduct.
Dante's got Johnny.
Get over here.
You know those guys, right? Friends of yours, right? Are you telling me that you've never seen those guys before? Come on, answer my goddamn phone calls.
He's going right.
He's going right.
- Shred all these files.
- Yes, ma'am.
Can I ask why? Somebody at the top decided it would be a good idea to let Royden stay in the job.
Do they realise he's an American mole? They do and they want me to try and turn him.
- I don't think that man can be turned.
- I know.
Everyone's gone mad.
Shred those files, go into Ted's office, grab whatever he's got.
Shred those too.
Yes, ma'am.
Don't get too close.
We'll get burned.
Hey, it's me.
Where the hell are you? Call me when you get this message.
Dante just kidnapped somebody.
Jump in this cab.
Go, go, go.
This is all reliable information you've given me from an intimate source? Yeah, it's intimate.
Don't suppose you can tell me who that is? Sure.
I'm seeing this secretary who's banging the other guy who's banging the guy who's got the inside dope.
That's reliable.
They said there's no way Mary's gonna make the move upstairs.
That's correct.
What's going to happen to her if Royden bumps her from taking the job? They're gonna keep her where she is, running the OCU, which means no promotion for you.
Work for Mary a little longer.
Shit.
Christ Anything else you need, man? I gotta run.
No, that's good.
Ted here.
It's Dick Royden.
Have you got time for a drink? - I just need a half hour.
- I'll be at the bar.
Hello, it's nice to see you again.
It's nice to see you too.
I was wondering if maybe you were free for drinks later.
That would be very nice.
I just I have to finish off some business.
Me too.
I have to see a client.
Meet me back here in an hour? I'll be here.
I'll see you later.
- Look forward to it.
- Me too.
What do you know about my nephew being shot? You behind that? Answer my calls.
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
You know who was involved? - What's the problem? - Hey.
I'm following Dante.
He picked up a guy involved in the shooting of his nephew.
I don't think he's gonna survive the trip.
- Where are you? - Heading east on Hastings.
1800 block, Hastings.
You gotta get somebody after him, man.
He's gotta be stopped.
- You need a patrol car, or something.
- Right.
Right here.
Go, go, go, go! He's dead.
You think he talked? Guess we're gonna find out pretty soon, aren't we? - He's dead.
- Where is he? - Corner of Franklin and James.
- Who was in the car with him? - I don't know.
- You witnessed this? No, I didn't.
Don't try to put me in this.
When Homicide finds him, they're gonna wanna know how I knew about it before it happened.
Tell 'em you got a tip from an anonymous informant.
I can't.
Homicide are gonna want to talk to you.
You promised me anonymity, and that you'd answer the goddamned phone when I called! You were late.
Now this guy's dead.
Don't put me in this, or I'll put you in it.
All right.
Just give me a description of the car, the time, everything.
11:25, Corner of Franklin and Jays.
I wanted to have a chat about your candidacy for taking over as the head of the Organised Crime Unit.
- I assume you're interested.
- Very much so, of course.
In order for that to happen, it's going to take some finessing to get Mary removed.
I'm gonna need your help.
Right.
I'll need your statement about what occurred the night Lee was killed.
What exactly do you need to know? What precautions were not taken by Mary to prevent his shooting.
- She's going to wear it, is she? - Unless you want to share the blame.
Not particularly, no.
Right.
So I'll need a detailed report with proper procedures and how they weren't followed.
I don't need something right now.
Get me a draft and I'll take a look.
When do you need it? Something tomorrow would be good.
Will Mr Mallaby be made permanent head of the office here? Mallaby - no, he's just temporary.
Any idea who might be taking over? You'll know very soon.
Let's just do this other thing first, all right? Sure.
I'll need all your informant case files in the morning, as well.
I need to know who Mary's been making deals with.
- Any files in particular? - All your confidential informants.
- Any problem there? - No.
No problem.
Tomorrow, then.
- What's happening? - I'm down in Portland, - trying to make this thing happen.
- All right, good.
Let's get Reardon down there and wrap this thing up.
Yeah, well, we're trying.
Will be any day now.
You're gonna call Reardon again, tell him you have all his money but you need to meet him down here.
Yeah, and how am I supposed to get him to come to me? I usually send the money through a courier.
Tell him you need to renegotiate your distribution deal.
You gotta meet him face to face.
And let him alone with me, right? You're gonna be watching me, right? This guy will shoot me if he thinks I'm setting him up.
Yeah, yeah, we'll be watching you.
You're in safe hands.
Yeah, I think so.
There's Spalding.
Yeah, it's here.
I'll give you a shout when I can.
- You got a witness for me? - Sorry, he's a confidential informant.
I can't let you talk to him, but I can tell you what he saw.
Black sedan, plate number 351 FTL.
Yeah, we know that already.
Does your informant know who's in the vehicle? - I'm gonna have to talk to him.
- Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
He's a valuable source.
I'm not gonna identify him.
I already gave you all the information he has.
This dead guy here isn't valuable any more, so he doesn't count I'm not giving you my source.
- Good to know what side you're on - Let me know how things go.
- Don't count on it.
- How are we doing? Good.
I'm going for drinks with Dick Royden.
Right now? OK.
Shit! Can you get him up to his room tonight? If I can't get a man up to his hotel room, I shouldn't be in this business any more.
How far do you want me to take it? Whatever it takes for me to get access to his cellphone for half an hour.
- His cellphone? All right.
- This is how it's gonna go down.
Tell me if you think you can pull this off.
Here he comes.
What's going on? Come in.
Sit down.
What's up? You guys look like you've seen a ghost.
No, thanks.
- What's up? You're making me nervous.
- Johnny just got killed by Dante.
Hang on.
Hang on.
- It's not your business.
- I can take care of this.
It is our business, and Johnny probably told them who was involved in the killing of Dante's nephew.
Like it or not, we're all in this together.
He'd never rat anybody out.
They tortured him.
There's not a lot of guys who'd take that kind of shit.
We can't let this escalate, man.
We gotta watch our backs and pull together.
We can't let it escalate.
So you won't let me do nothing? You can take revenge but I can't? Your brother's worth something, my cousin isn't? We're not saying that.
You helped us.
Now we help you.
Right? We want to get together and talk, make a plan together.
I know how to deal with my family.
- I'll talk to you tomorrow.
- Sorry you lost your cousin.
He was a good guy.
We don't know what Dante knows.
We don't know whether Johnny told him we were involved with the robbery, so we gotta be prepared for the shit to fly here.
All right.
Yeah.
I think we should step up security on Stella, so I'm going to ask Francine to watch her for a while.
To have somebody in the house with her? Let's get some more guys in and around the club here.
Done.
And Phan? Man, he's gonna want to take revenge.
We told him we were gonna help him out, so we'd better find out what it is he's gonna do, so we can get onto it before he does it.
I'll make a call.
- You look lovely tonight.
- Thank you.
This is exactly what I needed.
I had a crazy day today.
But I think I may have found you an apartment you might want to look at.
Thank you.
Maybe we could do that this weekend.
- Perfect.
How was your day? - Well, busy.
Meetings You hungry? Want to go out and get some dinner? Maybe a bit later.
Right now, I just want to unwind.
What would you like? Vodka neat and a glass of champagne.
Make that two.
They're having drinks.
We're gonna have a very short window to do this.
I got a techie with me standing by.
OK, if Katarina does this, she'll call.
We should go to her office and wait.
Thank you.
You gotta quit calling the Senator.
She's getting pissed off.
I'll quit calling when she starts paying attention to what I'm saying.
She is, believe me.
Allegations of an American mole in the thick of our spy service are taken seriously in Ottawa.
We have to tread very carefully.
Then explain to me, if we're all being so careful, why we can't just sideline him immediately.
Because if he is an American mole, we should try and use him, not just out him.
And I am telling you Dick Royden is not the type who can be turned.
He's a long-term American operator.
- Who's your source for that? - I'm not telling you.
And you have concrete evidence of that? - Not yet.
- So when you do, then we'll decide whether we hang him or turn him.
Either way, we need the evidence first.
If we accuse him without proof, that'll cause a diplomatic stir.
Oh, God forbid we should cause one of those You have a mole who's about to be appointed to the head of the division.
He's gotta be stopped.
Trying to turn him is ridiculous.
So what shall I tell the Senator? Are you going to handle this the way she and the committee wish, or should we replace you and go to somebody else to handle it? Cos that can happen.
You can tell the Senator that I'm gonna do whatever it takes to prevent Mr Royden from penetrating our spy service any further than he already has.
If she and the committee wanna be responsible for promoting a foreign spy to the head of our Western Intelligence Office, I'll go to the press - cos that can happen, too.
It's really not wise to threaten members of the Intelligence Committee.
Tell the Senator that if she wants to stop me, she can come and do it herself, quit sending her peons to do her business Thanks for the drink.
Watch the bar for me.
Check it out.
Whoa! Fresh from the mint.
It has that real-money smell, you know.
Like fresh fruit off the tree.
Fresh fruit off the tree! Oh, my God.
I'm going to hear about this! - Hear about what? - Sitting here with you.
Everybody's always trying to fix me up on a blind date and I never take them up on it.
We're going to be the gossip of all of them tomorrow.
Then I guess if I ask you up to my room for a late dinner, that'll really set tongues wagging.
That's a really nice invitation.
And you're a really nice man, but I have to tell you, I'm a little bit old-fashioned.
I'm not used to moving quite so quickly into something.
I don't want you thinking I do this often, either.
In fact, I've never done this.
I don't wanna wake up in the morning and regret not having made a pass.
I have wanted to tell you how beautiful you are since the day I met you.
- You're embarrassing me.
- It's true.
We met.
We like each other.
Something could come out of it.
Maybe nothing.
Who knows? I suppose a little late-night dinner might be nice.
She's in.
They're on their way up to his room.
If she gets lucky, we get lucky.
- Hey, man, it's me.
- Hey.
Got my money? Yeah, I got it.
Sorry I made you wait.
I had to call in some markers and hustle it all up.
I got it.
It's here.
Want to come down and pick it up? Why don't you send it on up the usual way? Yeah, well, that's what I wanted to hit you with.
Been together a long time, right? I never bitched about anything.
I always done good by you.
Cut to the chase.
I'm in the middle of something here.
I need to renegotiate that deal.
I wanna talk to you face to face.
OK, that sounds reasonable.
Give me a couple of days.
- I'll get back to you.
- Yeah.
OK, that's cool.
Nicely done, man.
- Thanks for coming in.
- What's going on? I'm thinking maybe things are gonna get a bit crazy in a little while.
Oh, God.
That's not for certain.
I don't want you to become a target.
I don't want Stella being a target, so I was hoping if I could talk you into maybe getting out of town for a couple of weeks, taking Stella tjust till things blow over and I get a better handle of what's going on.
What happened? Some things got a little out of hand.
I was thinking the Disciples might do something.
Is it Michael? No, it was me.
I did something stupid.
Now it's coming back at me, so I was hoping you'd take Stella and head over to the island up to Grandad's.
- Where are you gonna be? - I'm staying here.
I can't leave.
Why don't I come and stay in the house with you and Stella? Don't make me go away and wait by a phone somewhere.
I don't think it's a good idea.
I think I don't think it's a good idea.
- I'd rather you headed to the island.
- We've been through this before.
The house is safe.
Got security out there.
But it's just temporary, really, till things blow over.
- I'm not gonna - You want me there, or not? Why don't you head out tomorrow? Why don't I come out tonight? You don't need anything? OK, head out tonight.
I'll be out in a couple of hours.
I'll see you later.
Be careful.
It's just my phone.
Let it ring.
Call again.
I'd better get this.
Hello? I'm so sorry! No, I'm so sorry.
No, I'll do that right away.
No.
I'm in the office.
Five minutes.
I'll send it over.
I forgot to e-mail a client her itinerary.
She's leaving in the morning.
Ten minutes - I have to run to the office.
I'll be here.
So just watch your backs, keep your eyes open.
Likewise.
Call me any time.
What's going on? You look stressed.
We got a little problem with Dante.
Are you still friends with whatshername, his little sister? - Rayann? Yeah, we still talk.
- OK, good.
You two should get together.
Tell her you want to get together, sort out a misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding? Like you heard Dante thinks we had something to do with killing his nephew, which is bullshit.
I told him I'd be back in ten minutes.
I can't guarantee I can get this done in ten minutes.
Don't worry, he'll wait.
- No doubt? - Nice job.
OK, what do we want? Phone numbers, e-mails everything.
- Everything's OK up there? - Fine.
He's probably asleep by now.
- Everything OK? - Fine.
It's fine.
And I'm turning this off until the morning.
Try and have some of this traced by morning.
Yes, ma'am.
- How are you doing tonight? - Good.
- Everything quiet? - Yeah.
- Francine just came about 2 hours ago.
- Right.
Thanks, man.
Morning, sweetie.
Morning.
We better hurry, we're gonna be late.
Sorry.
Slept in a little bit.
- Is that Mom? - Yep.
- OK.
Get your lunch, will you? - OK, I'm confused.
She's gonna drive you to school.
- Morning.
- Morning.
Morning.
She's gonna stay with us for a few days.
I gotta talk to you about something.
Don't want you getting worried.
I just want you to be aware.
- Sandwich or leftovers? - Leftovers.
We have a little business problem down at the club.
Ronnie and I got threatened by a couple of the guys and we need to take some extra security measures and you'll probably notice a couple of extra guys hanging around.
- OK.
- OK? Right.
Mom is going to drive you, so I gotta fly.
Have a good day.
You ready to roll? What did they threaten to do? They're just a couple of jokers trying to get some money out of your dad.
A little business misunderstanding.
It's not a big deal.
They're probably just full of hot air, but your dad's a worry wart and he needs to feel that he's being careful.
What kind of "business misunderstanding"? Your dad had some work done and they didn't do a very good job so he didn't pay them and they threatened him.
- Why don't they just call a lawyer? - Come on.
- Morning.
- Morning.
Any luck? These are the phone calls.
I'm just printing off the e-mails.
There's hundreds of them.
Take a look.
Royden's been making repeated calls to both our Deputy Minister for Security and Intelligence and the American Embassy.
A very interesting list of calls.
You can see he starts his day with a call to the embassy first thing in the morning, then it's the Deputy Minister's office in Ottawa.
It's always the embassy and the S&I office in Ottawa, back to back, as if he's relaying conversations.
Do we know who he's talking to in the S&I office? Is it the Deputy Minister himself? I'm assuming, it's a direct line.
What about the American Embassy? Do we know who he's talking to there Keith Huff, an attache.
I've been running a search programme on him, as well.
I think it's the e-mails you're gonna find interesting.
You can see at the bottom of that top page there, it's Huff at the American embassy and it's written a day after you would have informed S&I about having a mole in the wire room.
It says, "We're having trouble in Vancouver.
" Trouble in Vancouver! Huff responds on the next page about an hour later and says something like, "You better go out there yourself - and see if you can intervene.
" - Jesus Christ! He tells the Americans for our mole and they ask him to get in the middle of it.
Yes, ma'am.
You'd better take an hour and have a look at them.
I'm still working on matching some of these phone numbers.
Thanks for the tea.
- Inspector - Yes? I've just been told Dick Royden wants to come round, take a meeting with me.
Thought you'd wanna know.
- What about? - They didn't say.
- I'll let you know.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
- How you doing? - My condolences.
- That's OK.
- So Jimmy sent me over.
- Let's go out the back.
- Were you in the army? - Yeah.
What kind of things did you do? - Special Operations.
- Special Ops? You must know how to make a pretty good bomb, then.
- Not my specialty, but yeah.
- What is your specialty? Recon.
Reconnaissance.
Do you want to do some recon for me? First I want to know what it is you want as a result.
I want to get revenge for my cousin.
I want a member of Dante's family.
Know what I would do? You want to kill a snake, cut off his head - not his tail.
How's it going, bro? - Is Mike around? - Yeah, he's in the back.
- Hey, Willie.
What's happening, bro? - Not too much.
How are you doing? - Not bad.
- You bought the place? Good for you, buddy.
Good for you.
We used to do some business here with Ray.
Yeah.
Actually have one of her machines over there.
Really? I got one of my own there now.
I saw that.
Anyway, I was hoping I could convince you to take hers back.
Hey, man, I'm happy using my own.
You know how the shit works, don't you, Mike? - Forget the dope trade, it's our shit.
- Well, not any more, man.
Your guys try to work this room, I'm gonna kick them out.
You had a chance to buy the place.
Why didn't you? Has Ray forgotten we had first dibs? - You'll have to take that up with Ray.
- I will, bro.
- That your partner over there? - Yeah.
This is Red.
- Good luck to you, boys.
- Good luck to you, too.
I want it 360, all the way around.
No blind spots.
I don't want them just facing down.
I want the cameras looking up at all these windows and roofs, all right? We'll talk about the other shit later.
I'm thinking I'm gonna head down to the States for a couple of days.
Oh, yeah? What for? Thought I'd go on down and get the money Alex owes us.
Why don't I come down with you? Stay here, keep your hand on the wheel.
How about I send somebody down for you? He wants to negotiate something new, so It's OK.
Wouldn't mind getting out of town for a couple of days.
Thought I'd take Stella and Francine.
It's funny - I thought I just heard you say "Francine".
You see this glass of water? It's nice.
It's beautiful, clean water.
Right? But it's full of poison.
You drink it, it's gonna kill you.
You do not want to get involved with Francine again.
Wake up! I'm looking at some very disturbing communications that would indicate beyond any question that our Security and Intelligence Ministry has been deeply infiltrated by American intelligence.
I hope that warrants a return call.
You were going to have a statement ready for me.
Yeah, I'm just working on that now.
Well, send it on up when it's ready.
I'll take your informant files now.
You're gonna have to speak to Mary about that.
She took possession of all those last night.
And what can I do for you today? Mr Mallaby requested your confidential informant files and you refused.
Now I'm asking.
If you refuse me, I'm going to have to take serious measures.
And what would those be? If I don't have all those files on my desk by tomorrow morning, I'm going to let a leak to the general public that Jimmy Reardon is working hand in hand with the Organised Crime Unit as an informant.
In some countries, that would be considered treason.
- I don't know what to do.
- Are you sure he's an American agent? Yes.
You just have to read some of these e-mails.
Please, read them and let me know if I'm crazy.
I trust your judgment.
Thank you.
Any help from the Intelligence Committee? I can't talk to them.
They're compromised.
Everything I tell them goes right back to Royden.
Tried one last time to get the Senator to intervene.
You're gonna have to tell Reardon he might be exposed.
He wants you to build them a bomb?! Your phones, guys - I want you to give them up.
He said he wanted to go for a member of Dante's immediate family, but I think I talked him out of that! - Wants to take Dante, instead.
- You talked him out of that too, right? - Say yes.
Come on.
- Not yet.
Listen, let's think about this.
If Phan wants to take out Dante, I don't see the problem.
What are you saying? You've known the guy your whole life.
He's always been a psychopath.
Should have dealt with him in the school yard.
The clock is ticking here, Jimmy.
The clock is ticking.
Look, I'm not gonna build the guy a bomb, OK? Get real.
Catch you guys later.
Let him do it himself.
Why get in the way? It's not our problem.
He wants revenge for his cousin.
Who are we to question that? You'd do that for Mike and you'd do that for me.
Don't let me down here, fellas.
Am I right? I'm gonna talk to Dante.
I'm gonna chill out this whole situation.
- I will.
- Again? Yeah, again.
Again and again - as many times as it takes.
Don't let him out of your sight.
This number is no longer in service.
I have an idea how to deal with Phan.
They can do a lot of recon, you know.
I think I'm convinced they'll just hit Dante, avoid innocent bystanders.
So I just stall him along and maybe he simmers down.
Would you simmer down? It takes time.
Eventually, you gotta come to terms.
I'm a spiritual guy myself.
I believe we go on, you know? Spirits continue.
Did you ever have an experience of a spirit visit you? Actually, when my grandfather died, that very same night I had a dream about him, that he came to me and said it was all a hoax.
He wasn't really dead.
Nice! Yeah, I call spirits down sometimes.
People I've met, mentors, people who've passed on.
Not talking to anybody right now, are you? Not interrupting, am I? - But I can put you in touch, probably.
- I'm gonna need their help.
Hello, Jim.
What can I do for you? I was wondering what the hell you were talking about the other night.
- Don't want any misunderstandings.
- What was I supposed to think? I was hearing rumours that you're working with the Vietnamese on some deals.
You know we don't get along with them.
We've had our battles, our losses.
I hear you're working with them and you think I had something to do with the death of your man Colin, and it all adds up in the mind when you go to sleep at night, right? Get anything from that guy the other night? It's a complicated world now, eh, Jimmy? People changing sides all the time.
Almost need a score card to figure who's fucking who.
So what is the score? Are we even? What's going on? "Are we even"? You wanna count up the points? I don't know that we're even.
I'd say we're even.
May I help you? I was hoping I could ask you a few questions.
You don't mind if my lawyer joins us? Just a couple of quick ones.
Shouldn't take long.
- It's about the shooting.
- He's right here.
Jock! I'll be right there.
Let's have another conversation tomorrow.
- Peace and prosperity, right? - Tomorrow.
It looks like everything's a go for grabbing Reardon down here.
- Good news.
When? - Next couple of days, or something.
I'm gonna be down here, sitting on our guy, - making sure it all happens.
- Beautiful.
Maybe we could have dinner again tomorrow.
Perfect.
I'll make reservations somewhere.
I don't mind if we stay in.
Excuse me.
Hello? Yeah, it's working out.
Don't worry about Mary.
I'm taking care of her.
She won't survive the week.
Call me tomorrow.
- So, slow night tonight? - It's probably gonna pick up later.
- Hey, Red, you guys open, or what? - Yeah, why? There's a guy down front telling everybody you're closed.
There's a guy down front standing in front of the door and telling everybody you're closed up, out of business.
Club's closed, man.
I already told you.
Move it.
Find another place to go tonight.
All right? He spoke with someone on the phone about you.
- Said you wouldn't survive the week.
- Thank you.
Directory assistance.
What city, please? Business or residential? - Business.
- What listing, please? - Chickadee.
- I'm sorry.
Please try - I'm just trying to do my bit for Ronnie.
I thought maybe you could calm your brother down a little.
Ronnie and Jim had nothing to do with your nephew being shot, I swear.
I know Ronnie.
I talk to him.
He's upset that Dante thinks they were involved.
Dante would fucking kill me if he hears I was talking to you about this.
You know how they are.
- I don't have a voice in things.
- For Christ's sakes! They've known each other since school.
They gotta work this out.
Nobody wants to attend any more funerals.
No-one will.
All right.
Listen, I'll see if I can talk to him, OK? I'll figure out something and let him think it's his idea.
You know that works.
- It's nice to see you.
- You too.
- What are you gonna do? - Running the salon - same old thing.
- How did it go? - Good.
We're still talking.
As long as we keep talking, it's good.
Sweet's working on Dante's sister.
Jim! It's for you.
She says it's important.
Been trying to get a hold of you for hours.
Sorry about that.
- I changed my phone number.
- I have some very bad news.
Give it to me.
A senior intel officer is threatening to expose you as an informant.
- What's his name? - You know I can't tell you that.
You should probably disappear till I can sort things out.
- Give me his name.
I'll sort it out.
