Intelligence (2006) s01e13 Episode Script

Open the damn door! All right.
- Open the goddamn door! - Watch out for the litter box.
You got anybody close to the OCU? What's going on? A guy over there is threatening to put it out that I'm a rat.
Shit.
That's bad.
You said you were covered over there.
Now I need somebody new, and you're gonna find someone.
- I don't care how much it costs.
- I don't think I know anybody there.
If I go down, everybody goes down.
That includes you.
Don't be thinking it's a good time to change teams.
- You got it? - Yeah, I got it.
Right now is not a good time.
- Are we clear? - Yeah, we're clear.
I'll see what I can find out.
Where is he? I'm going to look at some properties with him now.
Keep him out of his room for a couple of hours.
It's no problem.
I can keep him out all day if you like.
Thank you.
Just a couple of hours.
Martin.
He's out of his hotel room.
You got 2 hours.
I'm on my way.
You got his room key? Let's go.
Come on.
Bring your gear.
Where's Dad? Why didn't you wake me? He went downtown to take care of some business.
You're not going to school.
We're taking the day off.
- Hello? I have a science test today.
- Well, you're gonna have to miss it.
Please don't argue with me.
We're gonna pack for our trip tomorrow.
- Who's going where? - We three are driving to Seattle.
Dad needs to take a little time off.
He needs a little family time.
- It'll be fun.
- It won't be fun when I fail science.
- You won't fail.
- Dad can't pay off my science teacher.
- What does that mean? - You know it! I'm not stupid! I know about your little habits! This is a no smoking house! I'm giving you signing authority to take care of any business.
Write up a paper.
I'll be gone a couple of days, maybe longer.
I'll send it over.
Wanna tell me what's going on? Yeah.
I've been talking to the head of the organised crime unit.
- Making a deal without talking to me? - Yeah.
The point is there's a guy who knows about it.
He's threatening to expose me.
You gotta find me a name.
200 grand bonus if you find it by tonight.
What - what guy? You got a name? He's a senior intelligence officer.
That's all I know.
- Is he in the OCU? - We're trying to find out.
- You got a way in? - I got a couple of friends who do.
- All right, let me see what I can do.
- Get me that paper.
Excuse me, Senator.
Can I talk to you? Sorry, inspector.
The Senator has to catch a plane.
Yes.
I'd have made an appointment, but I was told you were in Ottawa.
That's all right.
I have a few minutes.
I don't know if your aide has kept you up to date on Dick Royden.
Yes, she has.
I understand you have concerns about whether you can turn him.
Actually, my concerns go beyond that.
I'm concerned he's gonna end up head of the agency.
- I don't think I'd let that happen.
- It's already happening.
I believe Royden has the backing of the deputy minister.
He's calling most of the shots, isn't he? You can't prevent it.
You can only advise him.
Yes? No offence, but only the minister can override the decision.
- What are you asking? - Ask the minister to sideline him immediately.
OK.
I'll take your request up with the minister and see what he says.
Thank you.
- How's your operator doing? - Fine.
Good.
Let me know how it goes.
I don't appreciate interference.
- That's the job they pay me to do.
- I know what your job is.
- Alex, it's Jim.
- Hey, Jim.
I'm heading down to Seattle.
Wanna come up tomorrow, or the day after? You can bring the money.
We can talk.
Sure.
Uh, yeah.
- Where are you staying? - I'll let you know.
Bring the money.
Don't show up without it.
I'll be there.
He's bringing the money.
Good.
- Gentlemen.
- Can you sit on our cash for a while? We need to save storage.
It's not a deposit, it's a stash.
Sure.
Nobody needs to know.
How much do you have? 50 mil.
OK.
Is it clean? Dirty.
If the Bahama deal goes down, this is the money we're gonna use.
- Your vault's fireproof, right? - Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
We'll put it in boxes and label it as Documents of some kind.
- When do you want to do this? - As soon as we can.
Now.
OK.
Why don't you send it over after hours? I'll go down the vault personally, stay late.
- Whenever you want to go.
- Some time tonight.
OK.
Well, you just call me.
I'll be there.
All right? - Altman.
- We're on our way.
What's the story? Reardon's coming to get the cash.
Alex is meeting him in Seattle, so we're going up there early to set things up.
- When's this? - Tomorrow or the next day.
- Beautiful.
We'll see you there.
- Hook up with my operator.
Send him to check things out, take the temperature at the club.
Yeah, will do.
- Where are you? - Watching the Chickadee.
Lots of coming and going.
Yeah.
Reardon's getting ready to leave town.
Stay on it.
I'm on my way.
OK.
Apparently a shake-up at the organised crime unit's going on.
The present head is your girl Mary Spalding, but she's being replaced by Inspector Altman.
- Altman? Good.
- Another guy's taking over at CCIS.
All right? Some new guy, goes by the name of Royden.
CCIS? Why would they be involved? They're fighting the OCU over control of some of the operators.
- May be somewhere to look.
- OK.
Keep digging at this.
Oh, I'm down the hole, boss.
Hey, Phil.
I got a couple of names for you to check out.
Ted Altman at the OCU, and another guy from CCIS, Royden.
Go to the Chickadee and tell Reardon you got Phil coming to town.
We heard he's ready to go down south.
- See if you can confirm that for us.
- So I take my orders from you now? Yeah.
You got a problem with that? Look.
This is something I'm risking my life over, OK? And I'm tired of taking orders from Canuck desk jockeys like you that don't have a clue.
I take my orders from the DEA, man.
I don't want to piss in your soup, but I know who you are.
You're not DEA.
You're a two-time loser who cuts a deal and gets a hard-on playing both sides.
You wanna continue working freelance this side of the line, you're gonna be listening either to me or the taxman.
And you don't want Canada Revenue on your ass.
It's like athlete's foot.
Remember Al Capone and 1812, baby.
Here we are.
One in the bed, one in the bathroom.
Here we go.
Fake leather.
I bet that watch he wears is a knockoff.
That bed gets a lot of action.
Make sure it's secure.
Hello.
You got something? Richard.
Bad boy.
Relax, it's just the boss.
- Have we got anything? - Bad news, squared.
These are CCIS reports describing your informants recruited.
- Probably got those from Mallaby.
- No doubt.
Reardon, Katrina, Bingham.
Unnamed, but it's a matter of time before he figures out who they are.
Seems to have made extensive notes about Bingham in particular.
Why Bingham? He's a minor player.
Maybe he knows Bingham was working with the DEA officer, Falcone - guns for dope dealing, and wants to make sure that never comes out.
Could be.
God knows.
It's probably a taste of what's to come.
Finally, a letter of introduction from the deputy minister for security and intel, on some fancy letterhead.
It says Royden will be appointed head of CCIS Asia Pacific region, and everybody should start kissing his ass or words to that effect.
We're ready to roll.
You should drop out of sight for a while.
Take your mother and daughter and whatever funds you can.
- What's happened? - I may be removed from my job.
I won't be able to guarantee your protection.
- Does this have to do with Royden? - Yes.
It's probably best if you don't see him again.
I'm doing what I can, but it doesn't look good at the moment.
Just pack your bags and be ready to leave.
Pack my bags and get ready to leave.
That's the story of my life.
- I was hoping all that was over.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about me.
I always land on my feet.
Or my back, more likely.
- Be ready.
- Always.
I want to put out some counterspin, misinformation.
I want everybody to know we're worried about the Disciples spreading rumours.
If it hits the street that I'm a rat, I want everybody thinking it's the Disciples putting out bullshit spin to hurt our business.
Yeah.
That's a good idea.
Done.
- What's happening with Phan? - I'm supposed to meet him later.
Keep him distracted.
I don't want him going off on Dante.
I'll keep him occupied.
And stay close to Ronnie while I'm gone.
- Keep his temper in check.
- Yeah, for sure.
- You know where you're gonna be? - The Westin Grand, Seattle.
Westin Grand.
- Talk to me.
What's up? - I got a lead coming up.
- When? - Tomorrow or the next day.
When do you want it? Sit on it a couple of days.
I'll buy you a beer.
Hey, what's going on? We got the cash stacked up ready to go.
The boys are gonna load it up.
Are you good with Hogarty sitting on the cash? - We got Tina watching, right? - Yeah, but it's your call.
I can stash it at the shipyard.
Bank vault.
You hear from anybody who ratted you out? No.
Just a couple of names.
We're trying to narrow it down.
Buck up, boy.
We've been through a lot worse than this.
I don't know how much more I can take.
We got a good lawyer.
He'll get the name.
Then it's sayonara, baby.
- All right, what's going on? - Take a holiday for a few weeks.
What? I can't take a holiday! I got all these deals cooking.
I've never been so hot.
I'm on fire! Falcone's on my neck, he wants those guns moved, my diamond play's back on, I got a legit thing blowing up - go figure.
I can't walk away from this - I'm just getting on top.
Listen to me.
You're in danger of being exposed as an informant.
I may be losing my job, and I can't protect your anonymity.
Oh, Jesus.
When's this gonna happen? Any time now.
Grab whatever cash you can and get out of town.
- You promised you'd protect me! - Things change.
I don't have cash! All I got is on the FCOM.
Nobody's paying me right now.
You gotta help me out here.
Come on! You're gonna have to make do on your own for a while.
- It may all blow over.
- It may all blow over? Jesus.
You fuck with me and my cooperator just gets worse.
You're looking at a lawsuit if this comes out.
Juste get out of town, I'll call you when it all calms down.
Let me know when it's tucked in, safe and sound.
Yeah, no worries.
- Hey, Gloria.
- Hello, Johnny.
- I caught your act.
You were awesome.
- Thank you! Pay attention.
We gotta be able to get at the cash, 24/7.
24/7.
No worries.
It'll be in the vault.
OK? Just give me a call.
- Nobody else knows about this? - Nobody knows.
You breathe a word to anybody, I'm gonna put you through a shredder.
Ronnie, please.
Come on.
Life is beautiful.
The girls are beautiful.
Don't worry.
- It's Richard.
- Hello, Richard.
I was hoping we could have dinner tomorrow.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I believe I have another appointment.
Oh.
Can you possibly get out of it? I'm leaving town tomorrow for a few days.
I'd love to see you before I go.
Yeah, I'd love to see you too.
Let me make a call, see if I can rearrange things.
I'll look forward to seeing you.
Me too.
Well, Ted, how are you? All right.
And yourself? Looks like I'll be taking over at CCIS, so I can't complain.
Congratulations.
When's this gonna happen? Probably within the next week or so.
You were concerned about Mary's, uh Is that taken care of? It is.
Are you still interested in taking over Mary's job - as head of the OCU? - I am.
Yes, sir.
- Good.
I think that's gonna happen.
- Fantastic! Is is Mary aware? I think she's probably putting two and two together about now.
- But you're not to leak any of this.
- Mum's the word.
Anything I can do to help things along? one thing you could do is put me in touch with a Randy Bingham.
- Do you know who he is? - Yeah.
He's a local stockbroker.
I believe he's dabbling in some gun-running, - Uh, not a major player.
- He's in informant of yours, yes? I believe we have an arrangement of some kind with him.
I'd like to meet him.
Can you arrange that? - No problem.
- As soon as possible.
Well, I'll see if I can't chase him down.
Good.
I look forward to working together.
- I think we'll do great things.
- Me too.
Thanks for the confidence.
Get back to me as soon as possible on Bingham.
Will do.
Excuse me, ladies.
You and your boys come again, I'm not gonna be nice and friendly.
- Dante ain't gonna be happy, Mike.
- Tell Dante to lick my boots.
This is my club, and you guys aren't working here any more.
Right? We'll be back, punk-ass.
Let's make a date.
Tell me when.
- Hey, bro.
What's up? - What's all that about? It's the Disciples, man.
They're like mushrooms.
You gotta be careful, Mike.
We got real problems.
They gotta learn not to come here.
They probably had arrangement with the last dickhead.
I gotta talk to you about a couple of things.
I'm leaving town for a couple of days.
You gotta be ready to pull up stakes.
What are you talking about? I can't leave! What's up? Someone's threatened to put it out that I'm in with the Feds.
Oh, shit! I knew that shit was gonna kick back on us.
You hear anything, just say it's the Disciples badmouthing us.
You gotta be cool, keep your head down, and play by the rules for a little while, right? - I don't need you provoking anybody.
- I understand.
If you hear the Disciples are back, talk to me.
- Bob will handle it.
- How long are you going for? A couple of days, a week.
If I'm gone any longer, I'll let you know.
You'll hear from me.
Just be cool, huh? I need you there if the shit hits the fan.
I don't need a wild card.
OK, I'll hold it down great here.
You be careful.
The minister the Senator spoke to about Royden - it's a no go.
You're not to do anything at all to alert Mr Royden or cause any suspicion to the fact that he's under investigation.
We can't let an American agent become head of our intel service.
For now.
Have you any idea the damage it could cause? The minister prefers undeniable proof he's acting for the Americans before we make any rash moves.
We have friendly relations with the US right now.
- We don't want that put off course.
- On the topic of friendly relations, He's in direct communication, daily, with an attache at the US embassy, relaying conversations and meetings with the deputy minister of S&I.
- You have evidence of that? - I have copies of the e-mails.
- I'd have to see those.
- Right, I'll send them over.
Senator's also asked me to tell you she regrets to inform you you've been relieved of your responsibilities on the investigation.
Right.
Any further investigation on Royden will be done by someone with no obvious conflict of interest.
I'm trying to prevent an American infiltrating our spy service.
- Where's the conflict? - You're up for the same job.
- I don't give a shit about the job! - That's good to know.
Meantime, don't do anything to alarm Royden, and turn your operator over to my control.
- To your control? - That's right.
Good luck.
I'm not turning over any of my operators to anyone.
Then I have to say I can't see you remaining in this job much longer.
Anything you have on Royden, including e-mails - - I'm going to need those.
- I'll get that to you later.
Not too much later.
Tomorrow morning.
I was looking for Tina.
I think she's coming in later.
Can I give her a message? I was actually going to give her something.
Maybe you'd like a little taste.
I'm sure she wouldn't mind sharing.
Are we up and running? Yes, ma'am.
Nothing happening except a bad case of apnea.
I'm amazed nobody's put a pillow over him.
- Too much to hope for.
- I suppose.
Bad news.
The investigation of Royden is out of my hands.
Well, that's not good.
Means I'll probably be gone very shortly.
That's a major disaster.
Yes, it is, which is why I'm considering a desperate measure.
- May I run it by you? - Please.
What do you think would happen if someone told American intelligence he'd been discovered? You mean if we outed him? I imagine they'd either remove him immediately to avoid the embarrassment of exposure, or they'd encourage him to stay on, allow himself to be turned and become a double agent.
Right.
Either way, we win.
That's a very good idea.
It'll have to be leaked from a source they think reliable.
- I can do that.
- Well, pull the trigger, ma'am.
Pull the trigger! Thank you.
- What's happening? - Ah, same old thing.
- Who are we up on? - Some small-time joker trying to sell seed patents to the Chinese.
I am about to be bumped up the ladder - When? - Any day, now.
- Hello, Eddie.
- Hey, Mary.
What's going on? I need your help on something.
- Yeah, sure.
Do you have someone you can call in the CIA? Maybe.
What's this about? We discovered an American mole is about to be promoted to the top job.
We'd like to have him removed.
Just give me this guy's name and let me take care of it.
- I can't have people killed.
- People WILL be killed.
My people.
My friends and family.
So it's just your people can't be? - I think I have a solution.
- I sure fucking hope so.
I'm gonna have him removed before he can expose you.
- You're not giving me confidence.
- Give me a chance to sort it out.
You should just be giving me his name.
Or maybe I blow up the joint, hope I get the guy in the crowd.
- Don't threaten me.
- I don't hear from you soon, I do whatever it takes to protect MY people.
Right? - Ed Forrest.
- How's life treating you, Ed? - You making money out there? - Yeah, making good money.
A lot of money's being made freelancing.
You should think about working for me.
I'd double your salary.
You're so full of shit.
What can I do for you? I'm giving you a big heads-up here.
You know I was working Vancouver for a while? I was talking to some people from the OCU.
They let slip they found one of yours up here, - infiltrating their spy unit.
- Holy shit.
Which one? - Which one? - Yeah, I need a name.
Richard Royden.
You'd better get him out before they pop him.
- I owe you one.
- Yes, you do.
- Morning, Inspector.
- Morning.
- Mr Royden has asked for a meeting.
- Whenever he's available.
He asked that you come up when you can.
Fine.
All right.
I called the agency.
The line should be crackling.
- What was the reaction? - I told him you'd discovered him, - and he asked which one you'd found.
- Which one? God! OK.
Thank you.
Any word on who this guy is yet? A couple of names Rene gave us, but he's full of shit.
- We can't count on it being accurate.
- Things change, eh, Jim? I'm sorry.
I probably never should have talked to her in the first place.
Sometimes you got to get in bed with the enemy.
I'm gonna head out with the family.
- We're staying at the Westin Grand.
- All right.
Give that prick Alex a slap on the head from me.
- At least some money's in the bank.
- Money's in the bank.
- Tremblay's sitting on Phan? - Bob's keeping it cool.
All right.
I'm heading out.
Francine and Stella are coming.
Are you packing a piece through the border? - I'll ask Alex to bring something.
- It wouldn't hurt.
- I'll call you when we check in.
- Later.
You wanna bring me a piece when you come? - Any preference? - Yeah, something small.
Will do.
- See you tonight.
- Call when you're close.
- Hey, Dad.
- How you doing? - Good.
- Had breakfast? Maybe we can grab something before we hit the road.
Shotgun.
Guess I'm sitting in back? All right? Altman.
- They're packing up.
- Getting ready to roll.
- Who's he with? - Just the wife and kid.
Shit.
OK.
Stick tight.
Tell Mary I'm taking a couple of sick days.
She can reach me on my cell if it's important.
Take care of yourself.
I thought you didn't look too well.
- Come in, Inspector.
Have a seat.
- Thank you.
I suppose I should tell you before we get into it, if you haven't heard through the grapevine, I'm going to be taking over here at CCIS.
- Congratulations.
I hadn't heard.
- Thank you.
I know you were one of the candidates for the job, so I know you must feel some disappointment.
But going forward, I'm hoping we can forge a good working relationship.
I hope for that as well.
To begin with, I'd like to see to see a closer relationship - between the two services.
- That makes sense.
And to kick that off in the right direction, I'd like to see the informant files I requested a while ago.
A lot of these relationships are based on my personal assurances that these identities wouldn't be revealed beyond myself, or in some cases their handlers and myself.
I'm aware of that.
Do you need to get that? No.
Go on.
The protocol is, I'd have to advise the informants that we'll be sharing them with CCIS, and we'd probably have to cut new deals before I could pass them on.
Of course.
Well, I look forward - to hearing how negotiations go.
- I'll keep you posted.
- And congratulations again.
- Yes thank you.
So, I spoke to Dante's sister.
She says it doesn't look good.
Dante thinks you and Jim are involved in the death of his nephew.
Is he talking about taking us out, or what? She doesn't know.
She told them to go slow, take it easy, get proof.
But it doesn't look good.
Thank you.
- Maybe we should leave town too.
- I got a feeling it'll work out fine.
You want a holiday? Maybe go to Vegas for a couple of days? - Are you coming with me? - You know I can't do that.
I got a club to run, business to take care of.
Does leading a normal life have any appeal to you? What's normal? You want me to open a corner store? They got problems too.
They got all the big stores trying to squeeze 'em out.
Everything is life-and-death.
It's just, you know, fast, slow We all gotta go.
I don't know if I want to live like this.
What's that mean? What, are you gonna walk? You gotta bring that up now, right? You couldn't pick a more inconvenient time.
- I'm serious.
- Jesus.
I gotta talk to Bob.
All right, can we, ah, can we talk about this later? I don't know.
Maybe I'll be in Vegas.
Just take this upstairs.
Get your ID, right? You got your passport? We aren't smuggling anything, are we? - What kind of question is that? - I know what you do, Dad.
I don't know what you heard or where you heard it.
Let's cross the border.
We'll all sit down for a little family talk when we get to Seattle.
I want you to let Phan take Dante out.
- Come on, that's begging for trouble.
- It's putting an end to some of it.
We let Phan take him out - he's out of our hair.
We had nothing to do with it.
You know Jimmy doesn't want that.
Look at the trouble Dante's given us.
He's the guy most likely to go after Jim if he hears about this.
The circumstances are right.
Phan wants blood, Jim's out of town - we take the opportunity.
- Jimmy's gonna be pretty pissed.
- He's gonna be pissed, then realise it was the right thing to do.
OK, Ron.
It's your call.
You're saying this is the thing to do? - It's a pre-emptive thing.
- I understand.
Better get started.
It's jammed.
It's not gonna fire.
The firing pin's removed.
It's harmless, see? He checks the clip - it's loaded, but it will not fire.
See? You're positive about that? I'm not giving you a gun he might shoot someone with.
Take it.
Put it in the car, the way I showed you.
- This is it? - Yeah.
It's a sweet set-up.
Ex-CIA guy runs it, rents it for parties like this.
You and I will be across the street.
He's here.
- How long are you gonna be? - About half-an-hour.
Then when I get back, we'll go for some seafood.
- Call me when you're on your way.
- Be careful, Daddy.
- How does that feel? - Fine.
Remember, the table's wired.
We're gonna hear everything you say.
We're on.
He's landed.
You stay cool.
- Yeah - Come on.
We got a name.
Royden, Fairmark Hotel.
Royden.
Fairmark Hotel.
Tonight.
We're up in Royden's hotel room.
How can this happen? OK.
Thank you.
I'll call you when I want the meal sent up.
- Who's he on with? - Somebody from Buffalo.
- Yeah, Buffalo.
- That's probably his handler.
You sure about this? - What's the source? - He's reliable.
Christ.
Did they say who was aware? Someone in the organised crime unit.
Spalding.
OK.
Well, let's just hang on, then, see how it plays out.
That bitch is gonna be gone one way or the other.
Game over, buddy.
We gotta pull you out of there.
- Where are you now? - In my hotel.
Stay there.
We'll send an adviser.
It's done.
He's done.
He's a goner.
Congratulations.
Let's get on over there and arrest him.
This is an admission.
Keep your ears on.
Stay in touch.
- Hello? - Where are you? I'm at a seafood diner on Pine and Third.
- Who is it? - Room service.
Something happened at the hotel.
Somebody scream.
I heard a woman scream.
OK? He was dead when I got here.
I swear to God, someone beat me to it.
Hey.
You seen Tina? - Wanna go dancing later? - Do I what? Are you crazy? Do I want to go dancing, with this shit raining on us? Have you seen Tina? She was due onstage 20 minutes ago.
I think she left with the banker.
- Tina! You seen Hogarty? - That prick? He left with Gloria.
Left? Left where? I don't know.
He didn't even say goodbye.
I can't wear this.
I can't - You gotta keep that on.
- No! Come on - he can see the vest! I mean, he can see the damn vest! He's refusing to wear the vest.
- He's worried it's gonna show.
- That's his choice.
- Your choice.
- Thank you! Is everybody DEA, or you got locals in? DEA.
They're all my boys and girls.
OK, we're green.
All right, here he comes.
Everybody just play it up.
So is is everyone in here armed? Just try and relax, hon.
It's all gonna be short and sweet.
He's coming in now.
- How are you doing? - Good.
- Bring the money? - It's in the bag.
2 million American in hundreds.
Better not be setting me up.
- What are you talking about? - If it's counterfeit I'll have to shoot you with the piece you brought.
- Where's the piece? - It's in the can.
In the water tank.
I thought you'd want it separate.
The bag of money's all sealed up.
- So I can't check it? - Come on, Jim.
So you can carry it all in one bag.
Wasn't easy cramming it all in there.
Did I hear him say he's got a gun for him? Don't worry about it.
It's been disarmed.
It can't fire.
If he pulls it, he's not gonna kill anybody.
Nobody'll ever know.
You're talking about killing him here? It could happen.
Look, you you want to just take the money out now, or what? No.
I'll head to the can.
You take the back out.
We'll both get in my car.
Cool.
Jesus Christ, man! You can't shoot the guy for smuggling weed! I'm not into that.
Royden's dead.
Mary is still alive.
Thank you.
You can't gun him down in cold blood.
Just arrest him.
Jesus! No more for me, thanks.
I'm not gonna need it.
I'm with the wife and kid.
I think - we might be getting back together.
- Beautiful.
- Yeah, honey, how are you doing? - Good.
You're beautiful.
I love you.
I'm sorry about the life I lead.
That's OK.
I love you anyway.
Do you want to talk to Mom? Mom? Dad wants to talk.
That was weird.
Leave a message.
Your problem is over.
You can come home now.
Hey, babe.
What's the plan? I've always loved you.
Get out of that hotel room and head home right now.
Jimmy? Jimmy, what's wrong? What's happening? JIMMY?
