All language subtitles for The Romeo Section s01e08 Elephant Faces East.eng

Previously on The Romeo Section...

We want to follow
the containers,

watch where the dope lands,
pick off the players.

You'll be swept up
with the others,

spun out
when the dust has settled.

If Vince is the rat,

we make sure Vince believes
we're sticking to the plan.

For this to work,

Vincent needs to be
closely watched.

I want to come back home.

Please just give me a chance.

- [Foy]: Where's Miguel?
- [Wolfgang]: You don't have him?

[Foy]: Your little recruit
spoiled that party.

Miguel, run! They're coming!

- What do you have in mind?
- A swap. Clyde for Bonnie.

I don't know
where the fuck he is.

Call me back when you find him.

Professor.

Agent D. Wright,

interviewing Vincent Taggart,

9:07 a.m.

Wednesday the 13th.

They'll be inside
a 40-foot blue container

that will be dropped on top of
the container with the dope.

On the day, there will be
three men inside the box,

Bootsie, Red, and Rufus.

They'll be taking
the Trojan container

to the docks

late afternoon on the 15th.

I need a timeline.

When they get in the box,

when it moves.

I'll get that today.

Where will you be?

At home.

My wife could be there.

I don't want her picked up.

Is she part of it?

No.

She doesn't know a thing.

It's too early, Dee.

You're setting
yourself up to fail.

Watch me.

Good luck.

I hope we never see you again.

Feeling's mutual.

Let's get a fan going.

It reeks in here.

[call ringing]

Vince met with a black chick
in Gastown.

I followed her car
to the Patricia Hotel.

You get a plate?

Yeah.

You ready?

Shoot.

M-M-Q-4-6-9.

And which hotel?

Got it.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Black woman, staying
at the Patricia.

Got a plate number for you.

What's it smell like to you?

Like the DEA have an operation
down on the docks

that could really
fuck up my thing.

Well, what is
your thing exactly?

Regime change
in the Red Mountain.

Old guard out, new one in.

I'm trying to keep my man inside
for the transition.

That's one of your old plays.

I've put a lot of
fucking time into this.

Years.

And this is the General
on his way out?

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

It's gotta be close to 15 years

you've been chasing that ghost.

Almost 20.

Be a bitch if it went sideways.

- I'd be a wee bit disappointed.
- I'd like to get in on it.

Well, whatever
I've got, you'll get.

Usual conditions.

I won't say shit to Sherlock.

- For my peepers only.
- Hey...

I've got a really good operator
down in this,

a key man.

I need to protect him.

[snaps fingers]

Capice.

What the fuck happened
to all my clothes!

I threw them out.

I figured it was time
for some big changes.

I was hoping you were into
making a whole new start.

I am.

Honey, I...

apologize

from the bottom of my heart...

for everything
that I've put you through.

If we're gonna give this
any kind of a shot,

we can't stay here.

We leave everything behind,

make a clean break.

I want to.

And I want to believe you.

Please do.

I really need your support
right now.

I really need you
to believe in me.

I got you a coming home present.

We leave this Saturday.

I got us a beautiful
house in Maui,

like we used to talk about.

What do you say?

Leave all this old shit behind
and roll the dice one more time?

This is what I always wanted.

[laughs in delight]

[footsteps approach]

[whistling nonchalantly]

Thank you, sir.

I thought you might be hungry.

Who are you?

Oh, that's irrelevant.

If it wasn't me,
it would be somebody else.

Am I still in Canada?

There's cream and sugar
in the bag if you need it.

Careful,

it's hot.

- Where's Miguel?
- I've got some news about him.

- Would you like to hear it?
- Yes.

First, I need some answers.

How did you hook up
with your handler?

My handler?

Yeah, Rupert,
or whatever he calls himself.

Where's Miguel?

We're talking about
Rupert right now.

Am I still in Canada?

Was it a cold call?

Did he just suddenly appear?

Fuck you!

[chuckles]

Okay.

[cup crunching underfoot]

I, uh...

I can see that you're
relatively new at this,

but, I, uh,

I actually think that
you could be a good player

if you wanted to pursue it.

I don't.

Well, that's a shame.

You know, 'cause...

I mean, your first time out,
you've done pretty good.

I mean, you're not
a finisher yet,

but, you know,
that comes with experience.

I need you to listen to me,

because Miguel got
away from the cabin

and he disappeared,

and I simply want to find him,

deliver him back

into the arms
of the Department of Justice.

They'll put him
in a protection program,

build a prosecution
on his testimony.

So, he will have
his day in court,

his voice will be heard,
his story will be told.

You see, that's what
everybody involved wants.

And you are the key to that.

So...

if you were Miguel,
where would you be right now?

Hey...

Where the fuck is Fred Foy?

How would I know?

He's got my recruit.

Call him.

All this could have been avoided

if you had let him take Miguel
in the first place.

But no,

you had to
piss in the pond first.

You're just as fucking
responsible as I am for this.

Show some fucking jam,
and call him.

[call ringing]

"No longer in service."

I want a list of known
black sites in town.

They're called
"black sites" for a reason.

Everybody's in the dark.
[cell phone ringing]

Not everybody, Al.

Yes.

This is Miguel.

Hey. Where are you?

Her apartment.

Right, I'll meet you there.

Bring cigarettes.

Hey.

You tell Foy I want a meeting now,

or I'm ringing
the fucking fire alarm.

[laughs]

Ding-a-ling-a-ling.

It's good to have you back.

Glad to be here.

I gotta go deal with the crew.

Be careful.

[door closes]

Hey.

I'm at the house.

Vince is on his way to see you.

He's making plans
to take me to Hawaii.

When is this?

This Saturday, the 16th.

Okay.

Fuck! Vince is here.

Cover it.

Take me through it.

Friday the 15th afternoon,

4:00.

We lock ourselves in,
get comfortable.

Put some gloves on.

I'm not going to touch anything.

All right.

Sanjay brings the truck
through the gate here

for a 4:30 pickup.

It's an hour travel to the dock.

We get there at 5:30,
go through security,

and by 6:00,
we're sitting inside this can,

on top of Wing's container.

What's the timetable
once you land?

We start cutting steel
at 8:00, 8:30,

when security takes
their first coffee break.

Then we're down
inside Wing Lei's box

loading the dope
up into this one.

Once we've got
all four bags in here,

I radio Sanjay,
he brings the truck,

and he's loading us on
by 11:00, latest.

We're gone by midnight.

[claps hands]

We'll bring our box back here
to he scrapyard,

and pass the load
to Wing Lei's crew.

Good job.

Don't fuck up now.

Right back at ya.

Here's the situation.

The Americans want you,

and they'll
exchange Eva for you.

What's their plan for me?

They say they'll
put you in the custody

of their Justice department

and prepare a case based on
your witness testimony.

Do you trust them?

It doesn't matter
what I believe.

I want Eva.

I will go,

but I would like to see
that Eva is released,

and I would like to have
an hour alone with her.

I'll see what I can negotiate.

I'm a lawyer.

I know how to cut a deal.

I'll set it up.

[beeps car alarm off]

I'm on the job.

Drug squad, Detective Ferguson.

Everyone calls me Fergie.

- You got a minute?
- Get in.

Thanks.

I just wanted
a quick conversation.

What are you doing up here?

You first.

Hmm. Okay.

I'm running a play
down on the docks.

I got a couple of guys
in there undercover.

I invested a lotta time
getting them in down there,

and I'm just poking around,

make sure you guys
aren't running a game

on any of the members
of my U.C. team.

Who informed you I was here?

Nobody.

I figured it out all by myself.

Scary, huh?

All by yourself, huh?

Well, I had
a little bit of help.

Who you running
your operation on?

Can't say.

Maybe if we knew each other
a little better.

[scoffs]

You're a bit north of
your jurisdiction, aren't you?

I'm guessing you got
permission to be here.

I don't need permission.

I'm a tourist.
It's an open border.

Ah.

You're on holiday up here.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I just want assurance

that you're not going to be
doing anything

that's gonna step on our toes.

I'm on holiday,

not planning
on stepping on any toes.

Just... going to the aquarium.

Oh, yeah?

How long you up here?

A couple of days.

Hmm. Okay.

Well, really,
I just wanted to say hi.

Let you know the DEA
is always welcome up here.

If you got permission, that is.

But seeing you're here
on holiday,

a private citizen,

doing no harm,

I guess I'll just let you go,

drop my investigation.

And what investigation is that?

Well, some of
my people get upset

when they find out

there's new folks poking around.

It kind of fucks up
their game, right?

So, I told 'em I'd look into it.

But, hey, if you need a hand,

or you want to call somebody

if you run into
any interference up here,

there you go,

that's my number.

Well, thanks for
the hospitality.

You people are always so nice.

Yeah. That's us.

Nice

till we're not.

Have a nice day.

License and registration?

Passport if you got it...

Vince has tickets
for Hawaii on the 16th.

When are you pulling out?

Morning of the 15th.

Well, let's meet tomorrow
and rehearse your exit.

Okay, Room 3007.

You get hungry,
order room service,

just stay in the room.

They leave the yard 4:00 Friday,

arrive on the docks
between 5:00 and 6:00.

They start cutting into the box
around 8:00, 8:30.

[beeps recorder]

Your daughter has come to visit.

_

[muttering fondly]

I have so many things
to tell you.

But we have
lots of time for that.

What can I do for you?

I wish to return to China
with your mother,

to our little farm in the hills

over the river.

There is an old tree
by the river.

Do you remember it?

It's been so long.

Perhaps it is time
we all returned to China.

Return home.

I met with my friend
about your situation.

He'd like you
to take the meeting

with the man
that approached you.

I don't know if I can do that.

If I meet with a Chinese
Intelligence agent...

Oh, my goodness,
that just sounds wrong.

It's entirely up to you.

I'd be taking such a huge risk.

No doubt.

Will I be able to
meet your friend?

I really need to meet them,

for them to understand
I am a Canadian,

a loyal one.

If you want me
to set up a meeting,

I'll... do my best.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Tony...

I came to pick up
some of my clothes.

I'd like you to meet Mae.

My wife.

Hi. Tony.

Hi.

I like your apartment.

Thanks.

- Don't I know you from somewhere?
- Maybe.

Mae is an actress.

Of course. Mae Mae.

I've seen all of your movies.

I saw your last one.

I'd like you to
produce my next one.

No shit?

I mean, I mean, I'd be honored.

Listen, you like the apartment,
you're already here,

why not stay
for as long as you like?

That is so thoughtful.

It's my privilege.

So, what's the budget
on this movie?

It's fully financed.
We can talk about that later.

Okay. Yeah.

You got a script yet?

Any time now.

Great.

Okay. That's great.

Hey, what kind of movie is it?

A gangster type.

You know that's
what I'm all about.

Go think about it.

Okay.

All that I'm guilty of
is falling in love with a stranger.

He ever tell you his story?

The one about
how he was a prosecutor?

Took a couple narcos to court,

they tortured him,
et cetera, et cetera?

That was part of it, yeah.

What else?

That's between Miguel and I.

Well, I imagine
he's a little bit damaged by it all.

Yeah, who wouldn't be?

He told you how
his wife was killed?

Yes.

Well, you need
to hold on to your hat,

because she's alive,

living in Mexico,
in perfectly good health.

So...

let's talk about
your man, Rupert, again.

What do you know about him?

Any word from Foy?

Not a peep.

Any sign of Miguel?

I've spoken with him.

Listen, can you give me something
to bargain with?

He'll come in
if he sees Eva released

and he has the opportunity
to speak with her.

Right.

Well, I'll put that
on the table.

Until then.

I've got Vince's wife
keeping an eye on him.

What time do you
expect to begin?

4:00.

Out by midnight.

We'll be back at the scrapyard at 1:00.

You won't be returning
to the scrapyard.

You'll be taking
the Highway One,

east to Abbotsford.

I'd like to land
in the scrapyard

when we're done.

On my turf.

You have a clever mind,

you're efficient,

your men follow your orders.

I need someone like you,

and hope we can have
success together.

But it's a bad idea

to return to where
you've been before.

Brother, you've got
big problems.

I got the DEA to share a little.

Seems they're tracking a box
from Hong Kong.

They're waiting for the mice
to snag the cheese.

I suppose that's a little
too close to be a coincidence.

Same box.

Shit.

Gracias.

Let me know
if there's gonna be a party.

I'd love to be invited.

Are you fucking deaf?

I said, I want you out now.

I can pull this off.

And our two years
of work takes a dump?

No way.

I keep it rolling along,
like it's gonna happen.

Friday morning,
I pull out, disappear.

I'm clear and away before...

whatever happens.

And what happens to your crew?

I'm taking my crew with me.

The only guy left
standing around

when they hit
that container on the dock

is Vince.

[chuckles]

And the only thing
the DEA gets to bust

is their own informant.

Nobody gets killed.

Pack your bags,

and don't say any goodbyes.

This is gonna be
a bumpy ride to the dock.

Everything's gotta be
tied down tight.

- Done. Nothing's gonna shift.
- We got any food?

Food, water and beer.

Smokes?

- Whatever you need.
- Okay.

We're going today.

- In two hours.
- You're fucking kiddin'.

Here, take a radio
and get a truck.

You got the paper with you?

Uh, here, yeah.
Right here.

What about after?

- How's that gonna go?
- After we pull this off,

Vince ain't gonna be a problem.

We'll be holding the dope,

cutting a deal
with Wing Lei and Red Mountain.

Anybody doesn't like the idea,
speak up,

walk out.

Okay.

Let's hit it.

We got an hour to paint the box.

Sanjay, get us a truck.

[cell phone rings]

Hey, Cindy.

Make sure he stays put all day.

Do what you gotta do.

Yeah.

I, uh, got
some good news for you.

Vince and I are back together.

[chuckles]

I know, right?

[starts engine]

Let's do this.

Let's go, boys.

Hell, yeah.

[exhaling and sighing nervously]

[horn honks]

Where you going?

I thought I'd get
some Indian food.

I just got back home,
and you're running out the door.

I gotta run by the garage
and talk to Rufus.

You order,
I'll pick it up on my way home.

I'll be back in half an hour.

Why don't we order in?

Yeah?

Where you gotta go?

We're in.

[rumbling and rattling]

[heavy rumbling]

[exhaling steadily]

Okay, let's go.

You remember
the story I told you

about my old lady?

That was just laughs,
Counsellor.

That was kids' stuff.

I got something planned
for your wife and kid...

[cell phone rings]
I gotta take this.

They ain't never
gonna forget it,

and neither will you, Counsellor.

Never.

[cell phone ringing]
You will never forget it.

Yeah?

I just got a call.

There's a container
just been set down

on top of the target.

Kinda messing with the plan.

Fix it fast.

Okay, no problem,
we got almost 24 hours.

I'll get it out of there.

Right fucking now.

[welding torch hissing]

[cell phone rings]

Yeah?

We got a little problem.

Somebody dropped a box
where our container has to be.

Get it out of there.

[clanking]

Right now?

Well, sometime before
Friday fucking night.

[echoes of train brakes screeching]

[squeal of train brakes]

Where the fuck are you?

Just having some dinner.

I gotta work late at the shop.

Get it outta there now.

I get rid of it now,

they're just gonna put
another one up there.

Do what I fucking tell you.

I'll need a couple hours
to put it together.

Everything okay, babe?

What?

You and Rufus.

Me and Rufus what?

You got something
going on behind my back?

Not even two days,
and you start this again.

It was too good to last,
I fucking knew it.

I found his lighter
in with your crack pipe.

Yeah.

He left it at the barbecue.

What about it?

You gotta leave
all your bad habits behind.

Is this what it's gonna be like?

You grilling me like a cop?

'Cause I'm not having it.

Since I was 14,
you've been down my neck,

and I forgive you,

I know
I have put you through hell,

but give it a fucking rest.

[dialing]

[cell phone ringing]

Yeah?

Rufus call you yet?

About what?

About the fucking box
that's on our container.

No.

I'll call him.

Get your shit together.
You gotta pull it outta there.

Got it.

Elephant faces east.

Hey!

Check 'em.

[groaning with effort]

Move it, boys, come on.

You guys might want
to take a look at this.

We've got a few more bags
down here

than we counted on.

Come on.

Fuck.

An hour to the scrapyard,
and we're done.

Not going to the scrapyard.

Sanjay.

Up front, boss.

Take the Highway One
turn-off south.

Taking it now.

[cell phone rings]

We have the elephants.

All of them?

All of them.

Don't wait up.

I might be late.

Wake up. The gwailo has done it.

He's pulled it off.

Announcer: On the next Romeo Section...

My inside man's gone AWOL.

What are they asking you to do?

Find out where the dope is.

You hold my life in your hands,

- I hold yours in mine.
- I'm not in on this!

- He's a liability.
- I think he's dead!

Announcer: The Romeo Section,

next Wednesday at 9:00 on CBC.
