Original subtitles

Daniel Léger.

Hey mom!

Hello!

How are you?

Yes, yes.

I'm really better, yes.

That's good news.

Well, listen, I called you to wish you a happy birthday.

I know it was last month, but...

Listen, we were like super stuck in the woods.

I couldn't get a phone call, I couldn't call you.

No, that's correct.

Hey listen, by the way, I have a little favor to ask you.

I'm at a gas station and...

I have my pay on me, but I don't have any cash.

Basically, I just need you to give me your credit card number at the gas station.

It's going to cost 10$, not more.

Oh...

I hope you know it's not for drugs.

Yeah...

Your father is coming, I have to go.

Hey, we don't buy dope with a credit card, mom!

Hello?

It's me.

Yeah.

I'll be right back.

Add one of these, okay?

Yeah.

Let me just go grab my wallet, I'll be right back.

Hey!

At

any given time, about how many children do you have in your care at the institution,

Mr. Woodbridge?

Despite massive cuts in government grants, we

managed to keep caring for more than 20 kids.

Which is why we created the foundation.

Yes, but before we get to that, I'd like you to outline your methods for

dealing with difficult children, if you don't mind.

Certainly.

Uh...

But...

If I may finish...

The foundation...

No, I'm speaking specifically about the recent suicides of two young boys,

ages 11 and 12, that were in your care at the institution.

Norm!

No, no, no, no.

What was that?

Somebody's trying to get a hold of you, Mr. Malick.

And I think it's time for me to leave, too.

Oh, shit.

We have testimonies on tape, if you'd like to hear

them and refresh your memory, you piece of shit.

Mr. Woodbridge, I'm so sorry about the interruption.

We have a few more questions.

Mr. Why the hell did you leave your pager on now?

It doesn't matter, we got that son of a bitch.

I know, but if it went off 20 seconds earlier, we would have had nothing.

Yeah, but did you see the look on his face?

I did see... Victor, security left a message, some

guys from the Da Silva gang are looking for you.

They're here?

Yeah, front reception.

Victor,

what is this about?

What?

Do you want me to call the police?

Shit.

Do you want me to call the police?

What?

The police.

No, no, no, no, no police.

Get your camera.

He's here, come on, let's go!

Melorick!

Melorick!

You're running from us to a hospital.

Expect to get hurt, Melorick.

You think I'm running away from you, you piece of shit?

Write another article about Da Silva.

We'll make sure you end up in here.

Let's get out of here.

You tell Da Silva he can kiss my ass.

Hi, I'm looking for Anna Melorick's room.

Victor.

Anna Melorick.

We paged you over and over.

I was in an interview.

It was worth it.

It cost you a moment you'll never get back.

She's done already?

Some things don't work around your schedule, you know?

How is she?

She's fine.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

No, it's not.

I missed everything.

She moves fast.

It's like her dad.

That's your dad.

Oh.

Oh.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Stay with me.

Yeah.

Too big at the job.

Yeah, they just announced it.

I figured.

Probably found out Friday night.

Kept his mouth shut.

I don't know what the hell they were thinking.

Lois Pigry.

What?

I'm fine.

I'll know over and again again.

Can I help you?

Uh, I'm the guy who rented this place.

You must have the wrong address.

Where's Michael?

You know Michael.

What do you mean, I don't deliver?

Well, uh, we haven't had anything from you in two months.

I just gave you the Da Silva story.

That was the follow-up piece.

You want shocking stories?

They take serious research.

Long-term investigations take time.

Then perhaps you should spend a little less time on

your TV show and a little more time here with us.

The TV thing's part-time, you know that.

Mr. Mellor, when you write something new, we'll pay you for it.

But from now on, when you write nothing, we pay nothing.

Did I just get fired?

No, no.

She's gonna be freelance.

Oh, Art, come on.

You can't make me a stringer.

I just had a baby.

Why don't you just let me give you regular assignments?

That's it.

I don't do regular assignments.

Okay, but your mind's in 93 orbits at once.

You just gotta land on something.

I don't give a shit.

Pick an easy subject.

You do one story a week, you make the exact same money.

That's it.

Look, Art, it's not about the money, all right?

It's about my process.

All right.

You and your process get together and do one story a week.

Would you like to cash this?

20, 40, 60, 80, 100.

What can I get for you?

Directions.

What do you mean by directions?

I'm looking for a guy called Michael.

It

is my true honor to be here today.

And I welcome the chance to work with each and every one of you.

But make no mistake.

You're all soldiers in a war on drugs.

The last few years have been...

Yeah.

Hey, man, this is the guy I'm telling you about.

My best friend, Daniel, man.

How's it going, man?

Yeah, you look good.

Oh, boy, man.

Hey, Greg, this is fucking Daniel.

This is some bad dude, man.

It's cool, man.

What's the problem with the chalet?

Greg, this is the guy, man.

You know, my trip to Thailand.

Thailand?

Yeah.

Thailand party guy?

Fucking A, man.

The Thailand party guy.

Holy shit.

Hey, Thailand party guy.

I'm the B.C.

party guy.

No fucking world, huh?

Holy shit.

Fuck.

There's something I want to show you.

Oh.

Amy.

Get him a beer.

Thailand party guy, come over here.

Hey, bro, you, uh...

You still owe me money for the, uh, work I did on the boat, remember?

The fuck I do?

Where is it?

No, you don't bet, man.

Where the fuck is it?

Where the fuck is it?

And what the fuck are you doing on my boat?

Oh, he just got here, man.

He's my buddy.

Oh, he's your buddy?

Yeah.

Well, what the fuck are you asking me for money I owe you?

No, no, I was kidding, man.

Just kidding.

Piece of shit.

Where is my shit?

Shit.

Probably in the bedroom where you leave all your stuff, man.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Shit.

You guys look like you were gonna fuckin' shit your pants.

Fuck.

Give me a second.

Amy?

You're gonna fuckin' kiss her.

What?

I can feel it coming.

I can feel it coming.

You don't want this?

Hey, I'm going to the bag, the chalet.

What did you bring?

I sent you an advance for the rent.

I have some problems, but nothing serious.

Relax man.

Found it.

This is where I'm going to show you a tag boy.

This.

Nice.

Now Michael Kaufman brought some tie number four into BC.

I told you that, huh?

Shit.

I'd love to taste that.

I mean...

I can't find that shit anywhere here.

Alright, I gotta go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What the fuck?

I only bring this shit out for special people.

Ask Michael.

Fucking ain't true, man.

By the way, this smack of the yak is like 90% pure.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Close enough.

I don't shoot up, so... That's cool.

That's cool.

I don't want to die either.

That's why I like to smoke it.

Give me a lighter.

I appreciate it, man.

But I'm okay.

You think you took it from me, shit?

Ain't no place you gotta be but heaven.

I'll let you in on a secret.

You're really nice to these two angels.

I'll smoke the paper off your joint.

How long's it been?

Six months.

Welcome home, friend.

Big time drug dealer.

Real prick, this guy.

Gets arrested in Bangkok, but when he's arrested... Right, police officer dies.

You already covered the story.

Did you actually read your own newspaper?

You guys covered a 50-word press release.

I do a two-parter.

I bring in all the background.

How does the international heroin trade work?

I mean, how does this shit get from Thailand into our country?

Well, I pull a bunch of drug trade stats anyone can get.

No, no, no.

I don't think so.

I put flesh on it, all right?

An agent killed in the line.

Who is this badass drug dealer?

Two North Americans meet their fates halfway around the world in Bangkok, right?

Deliver it by Saturday?

Saturday?

Sure.

Saturday and Sunday.

It's a two-parter.

Yeah.

Two parts, two paychecks.

Okay.

Did you just double your salary?

Ah, he's alive.

Hey, have you seen Michael?

Yeah, he left a couple hours ago.

Taking a bus back to Montreal.

Shit, did that cocksucker take some cash from you?

Some cash from you?

He took everything I had.

Can't trust a junkie.

Dude, uh...

we got clients coming in ten minutes, and you kinda look like run-over dog shit.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'll get out of your way.

No, I said we got clients.

You want a job?

Oh, man, I appreciate the offer, but I don't know anything about fishing.

Plus, I gotta find a place to stay.

You can stay in the cabin.

It's small, but what the fuck, it's free, right?

You serious?

It's a heart attack.

I've had my tough times.

Just put on a shirt.

It's not a gay cruise.

Pays 80 a day, plus tips.

Okay.

Victor.

Sergeant.

Surprise visit.

I'm doing an in-depth piece for the Globe.

I thought a live interview could make it more human.

You mind?

There have been no news items released today.

I'm thinking an oldie but a goodie.

What are your thoughts on the Thailand bust?

Was the whole thing worth it?

It's a tragedy.

That's all I can say.

Yeah, but I mean, you guys must be in shock.

Well, you can say that again.

Come on, Bill.

Throw me a quote here.

Anything I can use other than, it's a tragedy?

Well, the point of an operation like this is to make Canada a safer place.

A major heroin pipeline was shut down.

And when an officer dies in the line of duty, it's

a sad reminder of how dangerous this job really is.

Okay.

I read the press release.

But this asshole you arrested, why is he still in Thailand?

We were invited only to assist the Thai police for this Operation Malarik.

He'll be prosecuted there.

Yeah, but what's this prick's story?

Everything's in the press release.

Nothing's in the press release, Bill.

Who is this guy?

How long has he been running heroin out of BC?

I don't have any more comments.

I don't know the intricacies of this, especially with you.

That's it.

Thanks, Sergeant.

Alright, keep it going, guys.

Oh

my god, those guys loved you.

They even left you an extra tip.

Or we could do the trade again.

Your call.

You know, I was thinking...

If I play my cards right, this could be my boat soon.

Yeah?

We could be partners.

Make some real money.

You serious?

Yeah.

It's funny how things work out.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you've done for me.

Hey, don't smoke that yet.

I need a ride to the airport.

The airport?

Where are you going?

Columbia.

Got a meeting.

Last minute.

Shit.

I almost forgot to ask you.

Can you do me a favor?

Go to that address, ask for Mary.

She has a package.

Can you grab it for me?

And if you could just hold onto it until I get back.

You got it, thanks.

Have a safe trip.

A plane ticket to go to Bangkok?

Are you out of your mind?

I have an interview.

With who?

The Canadian drug dealer.

You want to call Louise yourself, ask for her budget to go to Thailand?

Cause I ain't doing that.

Give me two days over there and I'll come back with a Globe

and Mail exclusive that looks like a national scandal.

It'll be huge, above the fold, front page.

And then hit her with the budget.

When did this easy paycheck feature become a national scandal?

Don't blame me if I'm the only guy around here who can see through police bullshit.

I didn't even start asking the guy the real

questions when he hit me with a line of no comment.

Fine, you've got a hunch.

Do like everyone else in the newsroom.

No one's ever heard of this huge drug kingpin and nobody knows anything about

this pipeline of heroin that's coming into the country.

I don't have five grand to put on this.

Wait a minute.

Did the feds call you?

Are you on their payroll now?

Is that what's going on?

Get into my office.

Yeah, alright.

Come on, relax.

You know how I get when I find something juicy like this.

You wanna go?

Yeah.

I'm paying for your trip.

But if you don't come back with a front page story, you're gone.

Okay.

Okay.

Louise will never publish anything from you again.

Got it.

Thanks, Art.

Picking down already, Picker?

You guys are the ones that are 45 minutes late.

Two coffees, please.

Can we have this all on one check?

And, um, they're paying.

Thanks.

That ass gave me a fork and knife, right?

Well, you guys must be humping some dry ice if you're sitting here with me, huh?

How's the fishing business?

Right.

Lately, I've been fishing in international waters.

A lot of big fish out there.

What do you mean by international?

How do you guys feel about the term Golden Triangle?

You know people in Thailand.

You know what?

I think I'm barking up the wrong tree.

This is too big for you guys.

What are we talking about here, Picker?

We're talking about international players.

We're talking about 99% pure H from Thailand to B.C.

Most importantly, we're talking about you

guys paying me more than my normal source fee.

You're saying you can get this guy for us?

No.

I'm saying I got this guy.

Pleasure doing business.

Do you think so?

Yes.

Cool.

I've got everything I need.

Yes.

And if Glenn needs you, where can he call you?

I've already got this number.

It's my number.

Okay.

I thought

you didn't want to work with this guy.

Picker, he came to us with this.

The target is importing from Thailand.

Well, this Leger character seems like a big fish.

Comes out of the system as code A.

It's connected?

Criminal records show he's tied to the Hells.

Why don't you walk me through this thing, okay?

Like, break it down into boxes for me.

What's the outcome box?

Do you see yourself taking on this target in Thailand?

No.

We collect the evidence under the auspices of

the Thai police and we participate in the buy.

Leger goes home.

The outcome box?

We arrest Leger at Vancouver airport.

All right, Sergeant.

I'm gonna go ahead and authorize the operation,

but a maximum a source can get is 80 grand.

Plus expenses.

I'll talk to Picker.

Good.

I'm sorry, Mr. Malalaka.

I cannot allow you in.

All right.

Look.

We both know Canadian citizens are allowed to visit

Canadian inmates, and that's a Canadian passport, so...

The passport is not a problem, but it cannot let you in.

Why the hell not?

Have an idea, sir.

Okay.

Mr.

Malalaka, I'm Jim Raven.

The embassy's here to help you.

I'm here in Bangkok to see Canadian prisoners you guys arrested.

And I went to the prison and...

This case is still under investigation, Mr. Malalaka,

as I'm sure my colleague in Toronto told you.

Did the embassy put me on a blacklist at Bombat prison?

I suggest you read the press release on Operation

Goliath like everyone else, Mr. Malalaka.

You know what?

I've been here many times.

I know how the system works, and I know that

the embassy doesn't have any right to...

Have a nice day, Mr. Malalaka.

Hello?

Watch me!

Watch me!

Watch me!

You know I... You know I.

I'm on a trip while I'm doing all the work.

Anyway, we're partners now, baby.

Which means it's mine, which means it's yours.

Yeah?

Why don't you answer the phone?

Hey, man, how's your trip?

I'm stuck in Jamaica, but I'm coming back tomorrow.

I need you to pick me up at the airport.

What are you doing in Jamaica?

That's none of your business.

Your business is to pick me up tomorrow at 9.

Yeah?

Answer the phone when I fucking call, okay?

Thank you for the signed copy of your book.

My wife, she's so proud.

You're welcome.

I'm here with the Globe.

I'm writing an article on an Operation Goliath.

Have you heard of it?

The Canadian drug dealer who was arrested.

Exactly.

The prison manager won't let me in to see him.

Why not?

I was hoping you could tell me that.

The Canadian police seem to have restricted my access.

Obviously.

I'll get you in touch.

Sergeant Jim Raven?

You know him?

He's a Canadian officer.

He doesn't have the power to decide whether or not I see a prisoner here in Bangkok.

You're a good friend, Victor.

The Thai police has a special relationship with your country.

My hands are tied.

I must ask that you go through Jim Raven.

Okay.

But my readers are going to be very confused.

What do you mean?

When I write about this, they're going to want to know how a Canadian sergeant was

able to order a round general suit card of the Royal Thai police on his own soil.

You cannot write that.

Cooper?

Where it go?

How much?

You're under sixty.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I get forty for delivering lowlifes.

Call me when you have a serious offer.

How much you want?

One hundred.

I'll give you eighty.

Forty now, forty when leisure goes down.

For that price, I'm going to need expenses.

Sure.

But the deal is effective only if you can start before the end of the month.

Fine.

Hey guys.

Come over here.

Hey, how's it going?

Beautiful day, huh?

Normal English.

I was just talking to my wife.

My wife, pregnant.

I'm going to be a father.

Padre.

Papa?

Yeah.

Hey.

Will you celebrate with me?

Come have a cigar, please.

Come on, come on.

Leisure is going to be target number one on the priority scale of the month.

Coast to coast.

We're going to be the only international undercover operation approved so far.

And if we nail it, we are going to get the

biggest budget your division will spend this year.

Are you saying we're going to Thailand?

We're going to Thailand!

Yo, can you take off your coat?

No, no.

I want my wife to know that I'm having a good time.

Come on.

All right, yo.

Okay.

Come here.

All right.

Look me.

All right, that's good.

Beat it.

Got it.

Oh, my God, I wish you were there.

It was fucking crazy.

I was at this party.

It was insane.

These fucking women were so beautiful.

And I got in an argument with this fucking nigger.

He's, like, fucking threatening me.

So I take a Magnum 45.

And I just take it right here.

Look, right here.

He's all quiet.

Look at this.

See that guy?

That's a motherfucking Colombian drug lord.

This guy is so fucking powerful.

And my friend now.

He makes so much fucking money.

And so will we.

Daniel.

Where'd you put the package I asked you to pick up?

Oh, I didn't think it was safe on the boat with the clients.

So I'm keeping it at a friend's house.

Go get it.

Yeah.

I got people who want to buy it.

Yeah, of course.

He was robbed.

Yeah.

Fucking kicked his ass, bud.

He swears he doesn't have it anymore.

What's his name?

Doesn't matter.

He got robbed.

You're so full of shit.

I'm telling you.

Yeah, I'm telling you.

To tell your friend?

He owes me a thousand bucks.

And every day he's late, 40 points interest.

400 a day?

He can't afford it?

Fuck no.

Well, then he better find that thousand real quick.

Yeah?

Hey.

Dave Miller scooped you.

What?

Yeah, he met with your guy already.

He'll be in the sun tomorrow.

Well, did you read the article?

No, not yet, but it doesn't matter because we don't have the exclusive anymore.

I just threatened the general in charge of the Thai

narcotics suppression bureau to get in and see this guy.

I know, but...

I'm writing my fucking article.

You can put it on the front page or not.

Just stay close to your facts.

Oh, and how much for this?

No, don't need the hundred.

Why are you selling this?

Do you need money?

Oh, no, no, no.

I don't like it anymore.

Okay, but we can't give you more than 50.

But this is an antique.

It's my grandpa's.

Maybe you should put it on the front page.

Where's your bike?

This looks light.

350.

This doesn't even cover the interest.

Keep my tips for the next month, Jesus.

Would you give me a fucking break?

I gave you a place to stay.

I gave you a motherfucking job.

When you felt like shit, I gave you the best dope in BC.

I know, but every time... Don't butt me!

But.

If.

Please.

And no bullshit.

Business is business.

I fucked up, okay?

I'm sorry.

I trusted you.

Now I need all that trust shit built back up.

Here's the deal.

You do this thing for me, I'll forget about your thousand dollar mistake.

Okay, you got it.

I was gonna do this myself, but...

I don't know if I have time to figure out all the angles.

And since you've done this shit before, maybe I should bring you in.

I'm with you, man.

What happened to you?

You can't pay for protection?

Aren't you this huge fucking drug lord or something?

Smoke?

What?

Alright, listen.

Somehow I convinced my paper to send me down here to interview this criminal

mastermind who managed to get himself locked up.

But see, I don't think he's a criminal mastermind.

Yeah, why not?

Because everyone who knows him says the same thing.

Daniel Leger is just a low-life junkie who lies like he

breathes and the only point in life is to get fucked up.

My gut tells me that there's some thick bullshit

being served up on you in this operation.

But I don't know if what you're gonna tell me is bullshit or not, too, so I'm under

the assumption that everything is bullshit.

So you can either tell me what the fuck really happened, or you can squander this

precious opportunity and serve up more of what I'm really good at smelling.

Anyone ever call you a prick?

Yeah.

But most people call me Victor.

Did Vic the prick bring his tape recorder?

Yeah.

Maybe they want to meet here.

Everybody can see us.

I don't know.

Who gives a shit?

Showtime.

Nice car.

Just answer their questions.

Don't talk too much.

Let's go.

Uh, Picker here.

He tells us that, uh, you've been to Thailand.

I've been all over.

Right.

But we're looking for a source in Thailand.

Easy.

I mean, uh, a source in Thailand ain't that hard to come by.

Every fucking tuk-tuk driver's a source, you know?

Yeah.

Um, don't know if you want to be asking a tuk-tuk driver for 10 kilos, though.

Well, might be a surprise.

No, we're not looking for surprises.

Bottom line, Daniel is happy to go over to Thailand

and find you a source or whatever you need.

Yeah.

Okay.

What kind of deal could you get us?

Uh, with our, uh, 10, 12,000?

A kilo?

I mean, fuck the price, guys.

How the hell are you gonna get 10 kilos into the country?

Cause my asshole doesn't stretch that much.

No one's gonna ask you to fit 10 kilos in your ass.

Alright.

We'll be in touch.

Take care.

Jesus Christ.

You told them 10,000 for a kilo.

Fuck that.

You said they wanted a source.

You didn't say a goddamn thing about me going to Thailand.

You bought tons of heroin in Thailand.

I bought it over two months and I smoked it all there.

What?

Yeah.

Why the hell you want me to go to Thailand?

I don't have any cash.

I don't fucking know.

But you're going.

You're gonna find them a source.

Do not make me look bad in front of these people or I will fucking skin you alive.

What does it feel?

What does it feel?

Hey, how much does it cost for a punch-up?

A punch-up?

Did you manage to keep it on the side?

Why?

Do you still need money?

No, no.

It's just that...

I was wondering...

What do you think about going together?

On vacation?

Yeah.

A long vacation.

Where?

I don't know.

To Thailand.

To Thailand?

Yeah, I'd love to go to Thailand with my brother.

Have you lost your mind?

And I don't even have a passport.

So Thailand...

I don't have a passport.

So fucking get one.

I can't.

The government revoked it when I got back from Thailand the last time.

The embassy lent me $500 to pay airfare back to Canada.

I can't get my passport back until I pay them.

Are you trying to back out of this?

Do you know how much money you fucking owe me?

What do you mean?

He doesn't want to go.

He's making up bullshit excuses.

I think he knows you guys are cops.

Yeah?

Well, I think your international players are fucking morons.

High on crack who doesn't know a kilo from a carrot.

He was testing you, Cooper.

And you failed.

You clowns drive in like fucking Vancouver Vice.

You clowns drive in like fucking Vancouver Vice.

Luckily I was there to tell him it's all cool.

So you think this guy's for real?

100%.

Well then why don't you convince him that we're serious?

Well then why don't you convince him that we're serious?

You convince him?

I found this motherfucker.

Now it's time for you to motivate him.

You're early!

You remember Frank?

Frank and his associate are taking the boat this weekend.

Is she ready to go?

Yeah.

Let me grab my stuff and I'll jump off.

Yeah.

Let me grab my stuff and I'll jump off.

See you over the line.

And here's MacDonald coming in, going around trying to beat balls to the eye.

Wheel.

Hey, Paz.

It's me, Daniel.

Do you accept the charges?

That was on the boat.

Where's the other guy?

You didn't get off with him?

No.

Well then how the fuck should I know?

Did he kill him?

Would you shut the fuck up?

Sit down.

Look, all I know is that fucker tried to play Frank.

Frank asked to use the boat.

Gave me a lot of money to use it.

So...

This is bullshit I want out.

Little late for that, my friend.

So you're saying you never would have come here to

do a dope deal if they hadn't threatened to kill you.

That's what I'm saying.

But you came to Thailand to do it.

You didn't do a dope deal before.

I came here on vacation with my buddy Michael.

I didn't come here to buy it.

You were never a dope dealer.

I'm a junkie, man.

I'm guilty of that.

I admit it.

But that's it.

All right.

But you said that you couldn't come here

because of passport issues and money problems.

But you're here right now.

Because they paid for it.

Who paid for it?

Those guys.

The federal agents.

They paid for everything.

They bought you a plane ticket?

Plane ticket, hotel, food, expenses, everything.

Hey, I think you can spare a few baths.

They make us pay for our food in this shithole.

Yeah.

You need to sign up under my name before you leave.

It gives me credit to buy stuff at the shop.

No, sorry.

One minute.

One minute.

One minute.

One minute, please.

Listen, when's your trial?

Two months.

I don't know.

Okay.

You need to plead guilty no matter what they say, okay?

Otherwise, the drug dealing charges are going to put you on death row.

All right.

Look.

It doesn't matter what the truth is.

Plead guilty.

Hey.

Give me the gun.

Do you hear what I'm saying?

Do you hear what I'm saying?

Huh?

Are you crazy?

This is my team.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

25.

26.

27.

28.

29.

They want the cigarettes I just gave you.

There's five more every week.

Gotta find some cash.

I don't have a choice.

Always have choice.

Okay?

Okay.

I choose not to get beat to death.

In the yard later.

Behind the kitchen.

You see Tuong.

He high.

Not working.

That means really rich.

He give you money.

I'm just pulling this out of my ass, but you

don't happen to be Sergeant Jim Raven, do you?

Charming.

Are you staying at this hotel?

Just making sure you're safe during your stay in Bangkok, Mr. Mallory.

I'm deeply moved that my government is looking out for me.

You managed to get into Bombad prison?

Maybe.

Daniel Leger is a drug addict and a compulsive liar.

I can't trust anything he says.

Finally, something I can use from a government official.

Thank you.

You know what?

What if I found out that you guys paid for Leger's trip down to Thailand?

What would you have to say about that?

If I were you, Mr. Mallory, I'd be very careful

before I print anything about this case.

Or what?

Step back from the vehicle.

Don't want you to get hurt.

I don't need you to check here, sir.

What is your price?

Order that.

What?

You responsible for this?

Keep your party safe.

speeches Hey ok

Where are they now?

A hotel.

Victor, Anna was scared shitless.

But we tried calling you, but there was no answer.

Where are you?

I'm at the airport.

In Toronto?

Nope, Bangkok.

Jesus Christ.

I'll be home tomorrow.

Anyone read the news?

The DEA in Seattle are making us look like nothing is moving over here.

So I want updates.

Starting with Goliath.

Sergeant Cooper.

Our, uh, players are all lined up.

Yeah, that's the exact same answer you gave me last week.

Okay.

I'm pulling Fountain to prep Johnson's Operation

Black Hawk team in case Goliath goes south.

Frank, what the hell has taken Goliath so long?

The target disappeared.

What?

Shit.

Victor doesn't know where he went.

We gotta replace Dennis fast.

Tubey's not gonna spend another dime.

I'm gonna use another department's budget.

What department?

Training.

You're not seriously thinking about bringing Al in, are you?

I need an asshole.

This section deals with sexual offenses and deals with consent, no defense.

Now, under the criminal code, subject to subsections 2 to 2.0, 1 and a few is

charged with offense under section 151 or 152, or subsection 153, 160, or 171.

Cadet, we are giving you an opportunity for some in-the-field training.

Operation Goliath needs a new man.

This would not be paid work and would require you to

take makeup classes when the opportunity... I'm in.

You're interested?

Fuck yeah.

I can make one thing.

Perfectly clear, right now.

Any bullshit, any improvisation or deviation from my orders...

will result in a strict, official reprimand to your superiors.

Do you understand?

I won't let you down, Dad.

You did good today.

I gotta disagree on that.

Hey.

What does, uh...

Muang Thai mean?

Muang Thai.

Yeah.

Muang Thai.

Muang Thai means you're dead.

Who's this new guy?

Dennis is out, Al's in.

He knows this story?

Which story is that?

One where you said you had a huge fucking player on the line...

that tries to stick us for travel costs and then does a Houdini?

I don't have him in a fucking cage.

Get in.

Guess what?

The cage is exactly what you're in until you find this prick.

Here you go, baby.

Thanks.

You all right?

Yeah.

Hey, Norm.

Hi.

Hello.

Oh, my God.

You're a life saver, man.

I got it.

My pleasure.

So they can't find us here.

Trust me, this is so much better than a hotel.

Just stay with Norm.

I'll be with you till I get back.

Okay?

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

What's this?

Where's this gonna go?

Put that down.

Where the hell is my story?

Hey.

When did you get in?

Léger told David Miller to go fuck himself.

The Sun didn't get the article.

I did.

I delivered.

Where the fuck is my front page, Art?

Your junkie pal made some pretty serious accusations.

And, you know, it could blow up in our face.

Excuse me?

The government could wipe its ass with an innocent victim...

and we're not gonna report on it?

Because, what?

The victim's a junkie?

Is that what's going on here?

Well, he robbed a gas station.

What?

He robbed a gas station.

So?

I don't know.

He's not as innocent as you might think.

Oh, he robbed a gas station?

Yeah.

So that gives the federal police the right to

leave him in Thailand to get the death penalty.

That makes a lot of fucking sense.

Meanwhile, they can cover up their colossal clusterfuck because the media is

sitting here sucking its collective dick all because the victim's not a nice guy?

Hey, would you just relax?

Did I say I wasn't gonna run the story?

No.

I'm having a check first.

All right?

Why are you making this thing personal?

Lawyers are three.

Make the necessary cuts.

It'll run tomorrow.

All right?

On page five?

Below the fold?

No follow-up?

Everyone moves on?

Meanwhile, a Canadian citizen is executed in a fucking third

world country and we're not gonna do a fucking thing about it?

Art?

I'm sorry.

You know, you gave me my first story.

You made me the journalist I am today.

I never thanked you for that.

Can you have something to drink?

Somebody just put my stuff in a box.

I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Come on.

No, you guys aren't into my stuff anymore.

I should have heard you when you said it last week.

Hey.

Hi.

Um, I'm a friend of Daniel's and I know you guys know each

other and I'm looking for him, but I don't know where he is.

Do you know where I can find him?

No.

So you're telling me you don't know him?

No.

I'm telling you I have no idea where he is.

Oh.

Well, I'm gonna have to go.

I'm gonna have to go now.

Oh, fuckin' no-talkin', huh?

Oh.

Would you be my girlfriend?

Alright.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

How's your old side business going?

Danny!

Why does he want to see me?

Because he's the boss.

He says he wants to meet you.

I'll be in.

Frank and Glenn have told me great things about you, Daniel.

Really?

The way we see it.

Really?

This works out.

Could become a regular deal.

See, we're looking to expand our operations in Thailand.

We'd like you to help us out.

Well, Don, I'd really like to help you, but I can't afford to go to Thailand.

Well, how'd you get the money for the train ticket?

I spent everything I had on it.

Well, you know, from now on, I'm taking care of everything.

Flight, hotel, expenses, the whole shebang.

No more fucking around, kid.

You're going to Thailand.

Well, what about my passport?

Don't worry.

Al took care of it.

We fast-tracked it.

Ready to be picked up.

Yeah, we even got you a hotel room right next to the airport.

You're going to Thailand tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Daniel.

It's just a couple of days.

We're in and out.

Thanks, Daniel.

Yeah.

All right, let's go.

Come on.

And I challenge the Democrats to stand up on this point.

They say this is a war, then treat it as such.

We've got to fight the drug war on all four fronts at once.

Shrinking the supply by destroying crops and labs and factories.

By patrolling our borders vigorously.

Increasing both the certainty and the severity of punishment.

If you sell drugs, you will be caught.

And when you're caught...

This stuff is gold.

Did you know that the DEA might have been pressuring the B.C.

police to get results?

I mean, if we could find out what the U.S.

quota system is... Victor.

What?

I've been reassigned to another project.

Well, that's just going to have to wait, man.

Well, apparently it can.

Look, I love this junkie story, too, but Randy doesn't want me to work on it, so.

The Globe paid for half of our investigation.

It doesn't make any sense to take our foot off the gas now.

If we just go to B.C., we dig a little bit, we're...

Victor, Randy wants to see you.

Come in.

Have a seat.

Victor, I've got to let you go.

I thought you said that the show was kicking ass since I got here.

Yeah.

I don't have a choice.

It's budget cuts.

You know I left The Globe in mail, right?

Yeah.

I know.

This doesn't have anything to do with the junkie investigation, does it?

No.

No.

Nothing at all to do with the federal police or anything like that?

It's got nothing to do with that.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll be fine.

Yeah.

No, no.

It's not a question of the space.

Look at this.

Yeah.

No, no.

Space is fine.

That's not an issue.

That's the, uh...

It's the, uh... No, hang on a sec.

Victor, a call for you.

One second, Bianca.

So, uh, what do you want?

I got fired.

What?

Why?

I'm not sure.

Yeah?

Mr. Malarek.

I'm calling from the Public Complaints Commission.

Complaints Commission.

I've never heard of you.

Yeah.

We're a new entity.

Listen, I just read your article on the Daniel

Leger case, and I'd like to discuss it with you.

Look, I don't work for The Globe anymore.

In fact, I don't work for anyone, so I won't be doing any follow-ups, all right?

I'm not calling to give you information, Mr. Malarek.

I think maybe I'd like to make this our first case.

I need the details of your investigation.

All right, stop.

Hey, buddy.

How you doing?

Good.

Come on in.

Relax.

Flight leaves tomorrow.

Frank will call you at the exact time.

Make sure he's on the fucking plane.

Don't worry.

He'll be there.

Do you mind if we stay here a couple more days?

No, sure.

What?

I need to go to Montreal.

Why?

Oh, I need to speak to the Complaints Commission about the Federal Police.

You're making a complaint against the feds?

No.

The Complaints Commission read my article in The Globe, and they want to talk to me.

It's about the Daniel Leger case.

Well, what have you got to do with that?

Well, I interviewed him, so they want me to testify as a witness.

I'm gonna go check in the room.

You lost both of your jobs because of this thing.

Don't you think this is time we just drop it?

We're not gonna drop it now.

We just put our finger on something that's... No, we didn't...

I have never complained about your work.

Okay?

I am proud of what you do.

I've always been proud.

I've forgot to drop this thing.

Well, this isn't my job.

This is a court investigation.

These people attacked us.

They... You know who they think they are.

It's not me.

Just tell them to let me know.

To be fair, we don't know who attacked us.

Plus, they weren't trying to hurt you, they were just trying to scare me, as usual.

And you know what?

We can't let these guys change the way that we live our lives just because some.

What?

It obviously doesn't matter what I say.

Of course it matters what you say.

It's just that Leger's out there on his own.

I mean, what am I supposed to do, leave him out there to rot?

Come on.

You can't save everybody.

You have a daughter now.

What if it was our daughter?

Out there?

It's not.

Well, what if it was, and she was dying in a Thai

prison, and the government had abandoned her?

Like you were?

This whole thing isn't about Leger or her daughter, it's about you.

But this guy isn't you.

Okay, when social services took you away, you were a kid,

you were innocent, this guy's a criminal for Christ's sake.

The government fucked him over.

I know what it feels like to have the shit kicked out of you every day.

And to wonder if anybody is ever going to come look out for you.

No one ever does.

I hope you guys are hungry.

It's comfort food.

Usually it gets a bigger ovation when I arrive with the new dog.

Our first big point in the semi-final match.

1-2, Michael Williams.

It becomes balletic, that is, McEnroe magic at its best.

And that's a tough spot to hit, trying to get it into that corner.

Dude, I didn't touch your cash, I swear.

Look, let it go, that's not why I'm calling you.

I was wondering, who's your dealer in Bangkok?

Porn?

Huh?

Porn.

The guy's name is Porn, he's a tuk-tuk driver.

You just have to go to the Porn Hotel.

Hey, are you kidding me?

No, the guy's name is Porn.

The tuk-tuk stand is right in front of the Porn Hotel.

And that guy can sell me 10 kilos in his tuk-tuk.

10 kilos, man?

No, fuck no.

He can find them for you, for example.

Dude, the picture of the two of us is at the nudist beach in Koh Samui.

Do you have that picture?

Do you still have it?

I think so.

Well, dude, Richard, you know...

Richard, that's a client I introduced.

The guy was getting out of the heroine of the country in his prosthesis.

You're not going to believe this.

I asked for Léger's mugshot for the cash request on the drug transaction.

Yeah.

C-Division sent me this.

What the hell is that?

Robert Léger.

We've been working off the wrong record.

Nah, I don't know.

Our guy changed his first name all the time.

I've seen the wrong list.

Besides, the birth date's a match.

Right.

The name matches, the date and location of birth matches, the mugshot doesn't.

Well, C-Division sent the wrong photo.

That's unlikely.

I'll take care of it.

So, what's the story on this?

Well, Daniel Léger exists in the Social Security Data Bank.

He's got a driver's license.

He's from Quebec, but he's got no criminal record.

And Robert Léger?

Robert Léger and Daniel Léger are two different people.

And Robert Léger is the fellow with the criminal record.

Okay, thanks.

Excuse me.

Do you know Mr. Porn?

The tuk-tuk driver, Mr. Porn?

Oh, Mr. Porn.

He's over there.

Okay, thanks.

Are you Mr. Porn?

Go sit down for a bit.

Yeah.

Can't sleep?

I just hope we didn't forget anything.

Did you get all the transaction cash we wanted?

I got 60 grand.

What about the mugshot?

Mugshot problem.

Did you fix it?

Everything is so screwed up in archives.

I had to take this surveillance pic of Léger and stick it in the file.

Wait.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

So, we don't know if we have the wrong criminal record?

What did you call it?

Quebec?

I didn't have time.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

That means it's possible our guy doesn't even have a record.

Well, who cares what he did or didn't do before?

What we're after is what he's doing right now.

And right now, he's in Thailand, working for us.

Friends?

Good morning.

Welcome to Thailand.

Please, I'll find Mr. Cooper.

He'll be happy to assist you during your operation.

Oh, that's great.

We're going to need your men on scene as backup.

As soon as the transaction is complete, we leave Thailand,

make our rest in Canada, and you arrest your men.

We're going to need your local source.

How will you convict the trafficker if he's not

in possession of any drug when you arrest him?

No, he'll be in possession.

We're going to arrest him at Vancouver Airport once he gets his copy.

I see.

But, Sergeant Cooper, I'm afraid that's not possible.

Yeah?

Why?

We can't allow any illegal narcotics leaving

our shores, even if it's by Canadian police.

Tired?

Yeah.

We got a doc.

Didn't speak directly to the colonel, but the other guy said he'd be fine.

Oh, wait, wait.

And you didn't think to check on Thai narcotics law?

What for?

Well, because we're doing the fucking operation in Thailand.

Shut up.

Okay, don't tell me we're packing up.

Oh, come on.

No.

We're not packing up.

We are going to arrest Leger here in Bangkok.

Frank, we do that, we are never getting Leger out of Thailand.

Bullshit.

He's our suspect.

We can do what we want with him.

Fuck the Thai government, then we make it look like an escape.

Our guy gets away from us, he flies back to Canada, then we...

Do you even know what the fuck you're talking about?

Fuck yourself, Batman.

Okay, let's go.

Frank?

Yeah, well, buddy clock's all fucked up.

Yeah?

This is my friend Porn.

Porn.

Take your name, man.

Porn, this is Frank Al and...

Porn out.

Come in, come in.

You want a beer?

No, I'm good, thanks.

I'll leave you guys to discuss.

Oh, no.

No, we need you as an interpreter.

Oh, he speaks English.

Well, I think it's best if you stay.

All right, I'll take that beer then.

All right, so, uh, Daniel here?

He tells us that you can help us out.

Yeah.

Okay, how much for a kilo?

Thirteen.

We'll give you nine.

How many?

Kilos?

Ten.

Five for ten.

Five for ten... I think he means, uh, five kilos at $10,000 each.

You have, uh, $50,000 here?

Oh, yeah, you betcha.

You want to count it?

Oh, uh...

I believe you guys...

Corn, you okay with this?

Yeah.

So...

Where do you want to do this?

You have to meet my sister.

Maybe you're gonna marry her as part of the deal.

My sister will decide where to do this.

Or no deal.

Well... Okay.

See, we've got the money.

So, uh...

We'll decide.

Or no deal.

Happy to meeting you.

Corn, come on.

Corn!

Hey!

What kind of half-ass stunt was that?

Is this what we came here for?

To meet this small-time loser?

If this deal goes south...

It ain't gonna end good for you, I'll tell you.

Daniel.

Relax.

We'll be fine.

Besides, you, uh...

You've got two days to make this deal happen, right?

I'll be back tomorrow.

Love you.

Hey, Corn.

Cop.

I don't like this place, man.

Let's just go back and convince your sister, alright?

My sister's out.

She don't trap your friend.

She didn't even meet them.

Yeah.

She go to sit in a hotel and look at them.

And she say they were police.

Well, your sister's got a problem, because they're not police.

Don't be scared.

It's a safe place here.

Come to see my friend.

Good friend, okay?

Can I ask you something?

Where the fuck did you guys find this junky-ass loser?

I think he's full of shit, too.

Right?

Who's full of shit?

I'm asking you, who's full of shit?

The junky asshole.

He doesn't feel right.

Oh, he doesn't feel right.

That's good police work.

That's how they teach you at the academy.

They teach us to trust our gut.

Let me tell you something.

E-Division?

They gave us a million-dollar budget for this operation.

Now, does your gut want to be part of a team that

spends that kind of budget and brings back zero results?

Boulder?

Yes, sir.

So, follow the junky asshole's lead, and everyone shut the fuck up.

Nipa and Pimpam?

Porn got these girls?

They can do it outside in an alley next to an old cinema.

How much can they get?

Two kilos.

Oh, Christ.

You're fucking kidding me?

We didn't come all this way to Thailand for two goddamn kilos.

Hey, if you can do better, go ahead.

All right, look.

Our flight leaves tomorrow.

Can they do the deal tonight?

This is, uh...

Nipa and Pimpam.

Jesus, how old are they?

Fucking Asians, who knows?

Nicole?

Have they got it?

Yeah, they have it.

No worries.

Is this it?

We getting off here?

Who's this?

My father.

My father have it.

You go see it, eh?

No, no.

Daniel, tell him to get off the bike.

I don't know them any more than you do.

All right, tell him to get off the bike.

Al, get in the back.

We're gonna do the deal in the truck.

Come on, tell him to get off the bike.

I'm not gonna risk him tearing off down the street.

Hey, mom.

Why?

Get in the back.

Get in the back.

All right, open the bag.

No, you show money.

Open the bag first.

You show money.

I need to see what's in the bag.

Hey, show money now.

No.

Hold your horses.

See the duds?

Open the fucking bag.

Hey!

Hey!

Give me the bag.

Wait, what?

Show me the bag.

Don't move.

Officer assistant!

Hey, James!

He's coming at ya!

Let go!

Okay.

Stop the truck!

Stop!

Jesus Christ.

No, no, no!

No, no, no, no!

Check him!

Check him!

Go on, Abnett!

Stand down!

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm all right.

Look, I know this accident was terrible.

But we need to move now if we want to stay in front of this.

What?

If what really happened here reaches the public, you're all fucked.

So am I.

I changed my flight to come home tonight.

Take the girls with you to the studio, will ya?

Just keep them safe until I get back.

Thanks.

Miss Malk, I'm ready for ya.

You really

want me to make another plane?

Yeah.

He says you're tired but are you time jumping or drunk or something?

You wanna get out of the hotel?

What is he saying?

I mean, Queen of O warned.

You can get out of the hotel at any time.

That's what they said.

Shhhhh!

Shhhhh!

See, Julie, I know you're driving a vehicle.

The policeman's story is contradicting.

They are bringing in someone to give the officer a version of the arrest.

I

may swear to God all my statement will be true.

I swear.

Mr. Malarik Robert McDonald Thanks for coming.

This way.

I'm glad I can be here.

Mr. Leger was convicted of assault, possession of narcotics,

and importation and trafficking of narcotics in Canada.

He was to receive 10% drugs and...

Your Honor, there's something I wish I could tell the court.

This Canadian operation in Thailand was illegal.

According to Canadian law, the Canadian police did not have the right to pay for

my plane ticket for me to come here and do this job for them.

And they paid for everything.

The plane tickets, the hotels, expenses, everything.

Daniel Leger told you this?

Yes.

Why would the federal narc agents do that?

They know it leads directly to illegal entrapment.

You'll have to ask them.

All I know is Leger didn't have enough cash for rent.

He didn't even have a bank account.

And more importantly, Your Honor...

The police, from my point of view...

My country lied to you in this court and to the Thai police when they came here.

They have said that I have a criminal record, which is not true.

And I'm sure...

Everyone, don't argue.

I've been an investigative journalist for 15 years.

I make a few phone calls.

I find out if someone's connected.

What I found out on Leger is unanimous.

He's a small-time junkie.

In our country's criminal world, he's a nobody.

And I can get proof of that.

If I'm allowed to contact my country's authorities...

I'm sure I can get a letter confirming that I do not have a criminal record.

Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand export over 200 metric tons of heroin each year.

Operation Goliath ended up stopping a transaction of 2 kilos.

So yes, it's possible the Thais would set up a tiny sting like this, but in my

opinion, it's completely ridiculous.

They made threats to me.

Your Honor, I have to...

Your Honor, I have to... Your Honor, I have to... Your Honor, I have to...

Do you think he could have organized this transaction?

In the case number 635412, Thailand v.

Daniel Leisure, Jasvinai files the defendant guilty of co-position along with

Nipa Sangthong, Pimpan Sangthong, and Pracha Sangthong.

Of more than 200 grams of heroin.

Therefore, the defendant's sentence is death by the execution.

The court will now give the defendant a chance to change his plea.

Does the defendant wish to change his plea?

Yes.

What is your plea?

Guilty.

The sentence is therefore extended to 100 years of imprisonment.

You've done a good thing, Mr. Malarik.

Without you, Leisure wouldn't stand a chance against those guys.

And he stands a chance now?

Those officers broke nearly every procedure and regulation there is.

Let's hope you can move fast.

The average prisoner doesn't last 10 years, and I'm half that for a Westerner.

This is my priority.

Thanks.

Take care.

Good luck.

She's gone.

What do you mean, she's gone?

I got your message and came home, but there was no one here.

She's gone.

Anna.

Hello?

Denise.

Denise.

Put Anna on the phone, please.

She's not here.

Do you know where she is?

No.

Don't fuck with me, Denise.

If you know where she is, I need to know now.

All right?

Because I'm really scared that something's happened to them.

She'll call you.

Happy to see you.

Yeah, I bet you are.

What are those?

God left them for you.

This is from my mother.

Those fuckers kept these from me?

What's this?

Public Complaints Commission.

They're investigating my case back home.

Holy shit, they're coming here to see me.

Lucky.

Lucky you.

Shit, shit, shit.

I need to sign this form against the federal police and send it back to them.

I need contact in the mail room.

Yeah, no shit.

I'm fucked.

I don't have any money for a contact.

I already got good contact.

Who?

In the yard.

Back, back, left.

Behind the kitchen.

You see, Twan.

He had not working.

Twan?

The junkie, he delivered this?

Holy shit, you fat ass Buddhist motherfucker.

Hello?

Anna?

Anna, is that you?

Okay, sweetheart, I know you don't want to talk to me right now, and I... I get it.

I, uh...

I just...

You and our daughter come first.

I don't care about TV shows or newspapers or investigations or anything else.

Nearly as much as I care about you two.

Let me prove that to you.

And then...

And only then...

Maybe you'll let me save the world.

Maybe just a little itty-bitty part of the world.

Anna...

Where are my sisters?

I knew that.

Are you coming?

Right away.

Anna, come in.

Come in, come in.

Come in.

Are you okay?

Are you alright?

Come on.

The lady is back home.

Be happy.

Okay, I think I'm ready.

Right around here.

Make sure you get as much of the background as possible.

I got the last book.

You count me in.

Three, two, one.

It's a big day for Daniel Leger, the Canadian man who was

wrongly accused of smuggling heroin in Thailand in 1989.

His plane landed on home soil just a few moments ago.

He was escorted off by officers who will then accompany him to a Canadian prison

where he will finally be released on parole.

Leger, who beat his heroin addiction on his own, was able to mount a defense

against the Federal Government from his cell in Bangkok.

By gathering thousands of documents through the public domain, Daniel Leger

was able to secure himself transfer to serve his time in his country.

Actually right now, Daniel Leger is being brought from the terminal.

Welcome home, Mr. Leger.

Thank you.

I noticed that no one is here to meet you.

I, uh... I lost both my parents while I was in prison.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Hey, guys, do you mind just giving us two seconds?

Two seconds, please?

Thank you.

It took great courage for you to be able to

build your case from a prison cell in Bangkok.

How did you manage to do that?

Zen Buddhism.

Do you know what happened to the federal police that arrested you?

I have no idea.

They were given medals for their work on

Operation Goliath and they were awarded desk jobs.

How does that make you feel?

I mean, do you feel like you've been cheated out of eight years of your life?

Obviously there's no words that can describe how Daniel Leger's... Grateful.

You ask me how I feel.

I feel grateful.

Thank you, Victor.

Did you get that?
