[phone ringing]

Jimmy: We need good intelligence.

[relaxing music]

[phone ringing]

Mary: What's going on?

-Julianna is just getting ready for her date.

-All right, let's get this done tonight.

We need to identify this man.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Mary: Catch him in the act, yeah?

-Yes, ma'am.

Okay, here's the deal.

As soon as Julianna gets this guy's pants off,

give me the heads up on the radio.

I'll go in, grab his wallet, take some pictures of his ID,

stick the wallet back, and get out.

I don't need much time.

60 seconds, in and out.

-There's the doorbell.

He's at the door.

-Okay, remember, pants off, I'm going in.

[relaxing music]

-Paul, I'm a friend of Robert's.

-Come in.

Do you want a drink or something?

-That sounds great.

-Hey. -Hey, hey.

-How you been?

-Good, yeah, good to see Jimmy back

on the right side of the border.

-You and me both.

How's the family?

-Good, yeah, yeah, all good.

Jimmy here?

-Yeah, he's inside, go on in.

-Thanks.

[dance music]

-Thank you.

So, where you from, Lorna?

-I'm from Kelowna.

-Francine: Is that where you met Bob?

-No, I met him here.

I was working at another bar, he came in, asked me out.

-How old are you?

-21.

Why? -No reason.

You just don't seem like Bob's usual type.

Does she, Jim?

-What's that, what's the question?

-Does Lorna strike you as Bob's usual type?

He usually goes for something a little more,

I don't know, glamorous.

-Hey, look who's here.

-Hey, look at you. -Hey, Jack.

-Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you.

I didn't mean you were ordinary or anything.

You just don't seem like Bob's usual thing.

-Everybody likes a change on the menu

now and then, I guess.

I know I do.

-Hey, Frankie.

How are you?

-How's everybody at home? -Good.

Yeah, real good, they all say hello.

Sorry, can I just have a quick minute?

I wanna clear up a little misunderstanding.

-Yeah, sure.

-Dante's got some cash waitin' for us at his place.

Can you pick it up?

-Tonight?

-Well, early tomorrow's good.

-Hey, Ronnie, how you been?

-All right, yeah. -Yeah, that's good.

Sweet, lookin' good.

-Thank you.

Don't be such a stranger.

-Okay.

-So, we got a little misunderstanding?

What's the problem?

-Well, I got a call from Sal today

saying you wanted that 500 pounds I was holding for you.

-Yeah, Montreal needs that weed.

You got a problem?

-Well, I don't know what to tell you,

but I got that weed promised to another guy

and the deal's done.

-Deal's done?

No, I spoke for that weed a month ago.

That weed's ours.

-Well, when it looked like

you were gonna get arrested down South there,

I had to move it, all right?

I didn't wanna get caught holding it,

and I didn't hear from you for like a week, so I let it go.

-I was in hiding from the fuckin' FBI.

You expect me to pick up my calls?

-Did you call me?

'Cause I don't remember that.

-I mean, I did, actually,

and you didn't call me back.

Anyway, the point is it's a done deal.

It's happening as we speak.

I couldn't get that weed back if I tried.

It's probably on the other side of the border by now.

-When can you get another load ready for me?

-I don't know.

I kind of got a long-term arrangement with this other guy.

He's buying my next load, too.

-Well, who's this other guy?

-You know I can't tell you that,

and you know I can't back out on this guy, I'm committed.

No offense, right?

I mean, you'd do the same thing

if you thought I was going to jail.

I gotta pay people just like you gotta pay people.

Anyway, I made a mistake, but what's done is done.

I'm here today because I don't know what to do.

I feel bad, but I can't unwind the deal.

-How much is he paying you per pound?

-I made the deal when I thought

Jimmy's bust was just the first.

I didn't know if we were all gonna go down

like dominoes or what.

Fuck you, Ron.

-And right back at you. -Chill out, take it easy.

I believe ya.

All right?

You're right, I probably would have done the same thing.

-Right.

-So if this other guy doesn't work out, you let me know.

Maybe we can get back into business together.

-Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

And it's really good to see you back up here safe and sound.

I mean that.

Thanks, thanks for understanding.

Catch you guys later.

-Un-fuckin-believable.

[thudding] [crashing]

[phone dialing]

[phone ringing]

-Yeah?

-Jack's on his way out.

Follow him.

-Take it easy, Bobby.

-Okay, catch you later, Jack.

[unsettling music]

Man: Inspector Spalding?

-Mm-hmm.

-Nathan Cleary, special investigations.

Mary: What can I do for you?

-Just a little something we picked up on the grapevine.

Don't know what it is.

Could be something, could be nothing.

-I recognize the older man.

He's a cabinet minister.

-Henry Sergeant.

He has the science and technology portfolio.

-Right, and his friend?

-Lok Shen.

They've been having an affair for two or three months.

Mr. Shen is from Beijing, here on a student visa.

We're concerned that he may be trying

to recruit the minister.

-Recruit him for what purpose?

-That's the big question.

The Chinese are interested

in some of our nuclear technology,

which is in the minister's portfolio.

But like I say,

we don't know if there's anything there or not.

Anyway, the minister's on his annual leave,

and they're spending the next two weeks here in Vancouver,

and we'd like you to handle the investigation.

-Why, aren't you handling it?

-The inspector general suggested that you could do it.

Or recommend someone who could.

The prime minister's office is concerned.

-Forget that.

I'll get Jim Reardon any way I can.

Fuck that.

Take it easy.

Let me know if something comes up.

-Hey, Rene. -How you doin'?

-Hey, come here for a second, man.

Let me holler at you for a minute.

Come here.

[tense music]

You know Jim Reardon.

I mean, you ran an operation on him, right?

-It was a couple years back, but yeah,

I know who he is.

-But you still know his circle of friends,

guys who know his guys, yeah?

-Maybe sort of.

Why?

-The guy who just left, he's with the DEA.

He's up here from the States, and he's lookin' for Reardon.

-Yeah, I heard they were gonna try

to extradite him to face drug charges.

-Uh-uh, they're lookin' to skip the formalities.

-Skip the formalities?

-Yeah.

-His pants are off, pants are off.

Martin: Copy, time me.

[tense music]

-57 seconds.

-See what you can find out about a recent Chinese immigrant

by the name of Lok Shen.

I'd like to see something by the morning,

so don't bother going through formal channels.

Just contact our liaison officer in China.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Hey, where are you with your Disciples investigation?

-I'm just crewin' up.

I got a spot across the street from Dante's headquarters.

We're setting up surveillance.

-We'll catch up in the morning, yeah?

-Uh-huh.

[unsettling music]

How are we doin', Rose?

What's new on the wires?

-How'd it go with Reardon?

-Well, he's pissed, but it's gonna be cool.

-The guy's a heat score now.

Cops are all over him.

-Well, so?

[camera shutter clicking]

[dance music]

-Hey.

Hey, buddy, welcome home, how you doing?

-Good.

I heard you're looking for a pair of these.

Same as last year, season tickets, center ice.

-Aw, man.

Beautiful.

-So, what's up? -I got a friend

on the combined forces drug squad,

says he got approached by a DEA guy

fishing for information on your daily habits.

-DEA, this is here in Vancouver?

-Yeah.

Our friend says they're gonna skip

the extradition formalities,

hijack you, take you stateside to face charges.

-Jesus Christ, when did you hear this?

-A couple hours ago.

-Can you get close to this DEA guy?

-I dunno, I could try.

-I need you to get on the inside of this one.

-What am I supposed to do?

-Start feeding him bits of intel on me,

get friendly,

find out if this kidnap plan is real.

Rene: All right, let me try, watch your back.

-You too.

-I followed Jack back to his hotel in Richmond.

There was a guy waiting for him there,

they go inside, they yap for about another hour.

He splits, I decided Jack's probably not going anywhere,

so I followed this other guy.

He's staying at a hotel downtown.

-And you recognize this other guy?

-Nope.

Here, you?

-You should call Rene, get him to run the plate.

-Yeah, I did that already.

Car is registered to a numbered company in Vernon.

-I don't know this guy.

Who do we know in Vernon?

-No, this guy is new.

Stay on him, get whoever you need to help you out,

we got to follow this deal and find out what's going on.

-Jack's burning us is what, right?

He thinks we're getting too much heat,

he's trying to take advantage,

move up the ladder a step or two.

-Let me take the street.

-Oh, don't start doing that, Jesus Christ,

I can't live like that.

-What's wrong with you, you don't care that the DEA is

ever-looking to snatch you off the streets?

-They're not gonna try it here in front of the club, Bob.

-You're just making my job harder.

[relaxing music]

-His name is Paul Legros.

He's a local immigration case officer.

He introduced himself as a friend of Robert's,

I've got all his ID if you need it.

-Where's he stationed?

-Here in Vancouver.

He works out of the downtown immigration HQ.

-All right, go pick him up and bring him on down.

-Okay, ma'am.

-Do you have time to hear about Lok Shen and the minister?

-Make it very quick.

-Lok Shen is a writer, a poet, and a screenwriter.

He came here on a cultural exchange from Beijing

and stayed behind.

-Has he applied for refugee status or anything?

-Not yet.

He was a fairly well-known artist in Beijing,

targeted for being a homosexual and a writer and

more or less encouraged to defect.

-Get me whatever you can on his relationships in China,

who he was associated with,

all the details of the cultural exchange,

and how he met the minister. -Yes, ma'am.

[ambient music]

-What's the story?

-I got some good shots of Dante's crew this morning,

it's on this tape here.

All right, here's Dante

bright and early on the phone.

Ted: Who's the chick?

-[Surveillance Operator] That's Sweet, she's a stripper.

-From the Chick a Dee?

-Yeah.

-What is she doing here?

-Don't know.

Nice legs, though.

Okay, here we go.

This guy coming in now.

He's Howard Head, he's the guy you want to get to know.

We ran his plates,

he's an accountant with a big downtown firm.

-An accountant?

-Yeah. -Jackpot.

-I heard a rumor last night.

The DEA's in town looking to kidnap me.

-Really, where'd you hear that?

-Doesn't matter.

It's legitimate information, I got a good source.

-You got a police source?

-I got a good source.

You know anything about this?

-No, I'll look into it

and see if I can get a second opinion confirming.

-Anything I can do for you?

-Whatever happened to those bankers

who were running that laundry operation you told me about?

You were gonna give me those guys.

-Yeah, they split town.

I'll let you know if they come back.

-That'll be good.

I'm interested in how the big money moves around.

We should talk about that sometime.

-Let's see if you can deal with this DEA thing.

-Mm-hmm.

-Hey, Lorna.

-Oh, hey, Francine, how are you?

-Good, you live around here?

-Uh-huh, just around the corner.

-Oh, yeah, I got a friend around the corner,

which building you in?

-The old one in the middle of the block.

-The kind of funky one with the barber shop below,

is that the one?

-Yeah.

-I used to have a boyfriend in that building.

Where's Bob today?

-I don't know, he never tells me anything that he's doing.

-Yeah, get used to it. -Yeah.

-I better get my shopping done.

Nice to see you. -Yeah, you too.

-Hey, we should go for a girl's night out sometime.

-Yeah, sure, that'd be fun.

-I'll call you, you got a number?

-Just at the club, I don't have a phone yet.

-Okay, I'll see you there, ciao.

[lively music]

-Hey, Paul, how are you doing?

-Okay, do I know you?

-Inspector Kiniski with

the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

-What can I do for you?

-You can come along with me for an interview,

it won't take long.

-What's the interview about?

-To talk about our mutual friend, Julianna,

and your other friend, Robert.

We've got lots to talk about, don't worry.

-Am I gonna need a lawyer?

-Probably.

That's okay, we've got a phone book you can use.

Hop in.

[lively music]

[phone ringing]

-Yeah?

-What's going on?

-Jack's loading up a van behind his store.

-Okay, stick with the van,

if it moves, call me.

-That's enough, I've seen enough.

My wife is expecting our first child.

-Congratulations,

I wish you all the happiness you deserve.

-I meant...

I meant I can't have this coming out,

it would devastate her.

-And I just can't resist saying you should have

thought of that before you dropped your pants.

-That would have been my advice.

-What would you be wanting me to do?

-Well, we'd like to offer you the opportunity

to provide us with intelligence from time to time.

You'd be what we call a confidential informant.

Your identity would be concealed

and you'd be giving us regular reports on the activities

of both yourself and some of these senior immigration staff.

-Could you guarantee confidentiality?

-Of course,

that's why we call you a confidential informant.

-I loathe you people and what you do.

-Are you in or out?

-I'll cooperate. -Good, excellent.

The first thing we'd like you to do is give us a full report

on the activities of your supervisor, Robert Bergen.

You'll be interviewed by Inspector Kiniski here

and we'll go from there, all right?

-Yes.

Thank you. -Thank you.

-Mr. Shen and the minister went shopping for jewelry today.

-Expensive tastes.

-Apparently.

He spent an hour inside then went on to have lunch.

-Not very discreet.

What did they buy in the jewelry store?

-A diamond bracelet.

They're not in love.

-You can tell just by looking, can you?

-By their behavior, yes.

-That's your area of expertise, is it?

-Yes, ma'am.

I have a PhD in behavioral science.

My doctorate was on covert seduction techniques.

-Covert seduction techniques.

-Yes, ma'am.

They look like they're in love, but

I doubt that Mr. Shen is.

-And why is that?

-Well, shortly after lunch,

Mr. Shen and the minister parted.

I had our surveillance split,

one followed the minister to a flower shop,

where he bought a dozen roses

and sent them to his wife in Ottawa.

-Feeling guilty. -Maintaining a front.

And Mr. Shen went to another cafe

where he met up with this man.

-All right, Doctor.

Let me know how the romance unfolds.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Hey.

How's that little baby coming along?

-So far, so good.

-Make your pickup at Dante's?

-Got it right here.

-What did your girlfriend say?

She gonna give you protection?

She's a top cop, she can pony up for a bodyguard, no?

-No, I can't ask her for protection.

I already owe her one.

She's gonna want something pretty big from me soon,

I can smell it coming.

-Why don't you give her your old pal, Jack,

that ought to take care of him pretty quick.

-I can't turn Jack over, he's still family.

-Not my family.

Man, that guy should be excommunicated

as far as I'm concerned.

-He sold our weed to another guy.

That ain't family, I mean, where's the loyalty?

-He was in a tight spot.

-No, you were in a tight spot and he abandoned ship.

-Dante says you should call.

-Oh, thanks.

Got a dancer waiting to audition.

-I think Jack's making his deal tonight.

He's loading up the van at the back door of his shop.

-Think he's gonna run the deal same as usual?

-Yeah, so far he is.

He's got the same mule,

same guy who brings in to deliver to us.

-What's his pattern?

-Well, if he follows routine,

he loads up the van with the weed at his shop,

drives the van to a drop-off, leaves it there,

goes and exchanges the key with a new guy,

new guy brings in a new driver to take the van.

-How do you got this covered?

-Three guys: one at the shop,

one ready to follow the van,

one on the new guy at his hotel.

-What do you want to do?

-We need the weed.

We got to keep our line of supply open,

otherwise, we lose the Montreal territory,

which we obviously can't do.

And we need to keep Jack as a supplier.

-And how are we gonna do that?

-Knock him over, teach him a lesson.

He realizes he needs our security,

he comes running straight back to us.

-We can do that. -I'm in.

-How did we used to pay Jack?

What was that routine?

-Cash on delivery.

Gives us the weed, we check for weight and quality,

we send a driver over to his store

with the cash where he checks the count.

-You want to double bang him, cash and weed?

-He'd deserve it.

-All right, let's get it started.

[laughs]

Mary: And this is?

-Howard Head.

He's a CPA with a big downtown outfit.

It's tax time, Dante's preparing his taxes.

-This guy is the Disciples accountant?

-Yeah.

Dante's got a shitload of companies

he's running as various fronts.

Those fronts got to submit their tax filings,

now is the time.

-So what's the approach?

Do you want to squeeze the accountant?

-Nah.

He'd just throw up a wall of lawyers and

stall us 'til doomsday.

Ideally, I'd like to get a look at all

of Dante's ownership paperwork

without alerting Dante or the accountant.

If we find out what front companies he uses,

I think we can watch those a while and

build a tight case.

-All right, sounds like a good plan to me.

By the way, I'm hearing rumors that the DEA is up here,

thinking about grabbing Reardon.

-They filed charges on him?

-Not yet, any day now, I expect.

-You think they're just gonna abduct him and

get him over the line?

-That's the rumor.

-Takes a lot of balls.

-More balls than brains, as usual.

Let me know if you hear anything on the grapevine

that can confirm that.

-Yeah, will do.

-Inspector general on line two for you,

returning your call.

-Thank you.

Hello, Daniel, how are you?

-Very well, thank you.

Did you meet with our friends from special investigations?

-I did, yes, what's going on there?

-I may be wrong about this,

but I don't think the minister is

about to sell any state secrets.

-If you thought it was nothing,

why did you send special investigations my way?

-I wanted to stop them before they do any damage

to a potential relationship with Mr. Shen

that may be of some use to us.

Listen, I really don't care

if the minister is having a homosexual affair.

I'm interested in Mr. Shen's viability as an agent for CSIS.

-You want me to recruit Shen?

Daniel: If you can.

-If I'm extradited, what kind of charges am I looking at?

-Well, we're gonna have to wait and see

what the DEA decides to do.

I don't think they have much of a case

now that their informant is dead.

His testimony was key. Thanks.

-Maybe that's why they're looking to kidnap you.

They don't think they can make the charges stick.

-You hear anything more about that rumor?

-Not yet.

-That makes sense, they may try something like that

if they don't think they have a case.

-If they don't think they have a case,

why would they kidnap me?

-So they can snuff you in transit.

-I think Jack's moving the weed,

the van's just leaving the store now.

-Yeah.

[ambient music]

-Chinese use a very different intelligence model

than western operations, it's more of a community model.

They emphasize the use of semi-official agents:

students, tourists, artists, diplomats, businessmen, and

residents who've been here a long time.

-How does Shen fit into that model?

-Well, he's what they call a social agent.

His focus is on personal character intel,

the private lives of influential people.

These social agents usually just gather intel,

rarely are they active recruiters.

-So that would be what Shen is doing,

insinuating himself into the minister's private life.

-Right, he gets to know the minister,

and because of the homosexual relationship,

it's already a clandestine, covert affair.

They're already in a covert relationship,

sharing a secret lifestyle, which makes the step

to sharing more intimate sorts of information easier.

-Does Shen have the technical expertise or background

to ask the minister about technology,

as in our nuclear power resources?

-I don't think so, no.

I think they're probably just using Shen

to seduce the minister.

They'll get the minister in a homosexual affair,

probably with lots of video evidence,

then Shen will disappear, he'll become the cutout,

then what could happen, we know they've done this before,

they'll recall Shen back to China, arrest him,

then extort the minister by saying they'll

execute Shen unless the minister starts providing

whatever intel it is they're after.

Kind of nasty.

-Nasty but effective.

Do we know if the minister cares

whether he's publicly outed as a homosexual?

-I'm assuming he does.

He maintains a wife back in Ottawa, so

he's still officially closeted.

-All right, very good.

But it's all theory. -Yes.

-We don't know if Shen's an agent or not.

We have no proof of that yet.

-No, ma'am.

-Thank you.

-Should I maintain surveillance on Shen?

-Yes, please.

[electronic music]

-Hold up, where are you going?

-I got to talk to Jimmy.

-Talk to me first.

-It's private. -Good, let's hear it.

-No, it's none of your business.

-Then you can't talk to him.

-Fuck you, Bob.

-Maybe you don't quite get the picture here.

You got a job here because you did Jim a favor.

You want to keep that job, stay away from Jim.

You got work to do, do it, otherwise,

[phone ringing] don't come to the club.

Yeah?

-Okay, I'm sitting on the weed.

Bill's tagging the mule for the key exchange.

-Okay, stick on the weed.

-Have you got a minute,

or is it against the law to talk to you now?

-Excuse me. -Yeah.

-I was shopping for groceries and Francine

suddenly showed up asking me all kinds of questions.

-What kind of questions?

-Well, like did I live around there,

and she already knew the building,

and then where was Bob, and what was my phone number,

and did I want to have a girl's night out.

-Well, that's probably a bad idea.

-Am I ever gonna get a chance

to spend the night with you again.

-No.

-You don't want to?

-No.

-I don't believe you.

-I got a family to worry about.

I can't do anything to freak out Francine right now.

-What about down the road?

-I made a mistake.

It was a one-time thing, you just...

You got to understand that.

-We got to decide what we're gonna do.

-I'll talk to you later.

What's going on?

-The weed's at Jack's stash.

He's using the same storage facility as always.

You want to steal the weed before it gets picked up,

we got to do it now.

-No, I got a better idea.

We just let the weed go,

you hit Jack for the cash.

-I thought you needed the weed to supply Montreal.

-No, I spoke with Montreal this morning,

they're good for a couple of weeks.

We send them something down the road, they're cool with it.

-So you just want the weed to go on through.

-No, I want to use the weed

to put the new guy out of business.

-So, for now, you just want to follow the weed?

-Yeah.

-Okay.

-Okay, we're just gonna watch the weed.

Follow anyone who picks it up.

-Copy. -Stay in touch.

-Hey, I think we should have a meeting,

I got something for you.

-I'm gonna need about a half-hour.

Jim: Okay.

[ambient music]

-How we doing?

-All right.

We've got the minister and Shen under 24-hour watch.

-Okay, so this confirms we've got a couple of lovebirds.

-But you already knew that.

-We needed it confirmed.

-By somebody far enough away from your office

that you could deny having initiated

surveillance on the minister?

Is it the minister or Shen you're interested in here?

Nathan: Both.

-All right, you've got confirmation.

-Can you pick up Shen for us?

-And do what? -Interrogate him.

-That seems a little premature.

-The prime minister's office wants it done.

-Don't you think you might want evidence

that he's doing something illegal first?

-He is, as of yesterday, he's overstayed his visa.

-Right.

-We want to nip this in the bud

before the minister leaks anything.

-I understand, I'll pick him up.

[lively music]

[phone dialing]

-They're on the move.

-All right, keep on it.

-You got something for me?

-Yeah.

I got a guy taking 500 pounds of weed heading stateside.

-Who's the lucky target?

-I dunno, but he's giving me a hard time.

-So, I'd be taking some troublesome competition

off the street for you, is that right?

-That's right.

-You give me the details when.

-As soon as I know where the weed is.

-Okay.

Give me enough time to get a takedown crew together.

-Yeah, you hear anything yet,

about this DEA plan to kidnap me?

-Not yet, no.

-You think they're doing this because the legit case

against me is falling apart?

-Well, with their two main witnesses against you being dead

I think that's a possibility, yeah.

-Anything you could do to stop it?

-I can have you arrested, thrown in jail.

-No thanks, I think I'll pass on that one.

-Other than that, until somebody does something,

it's all just a rumor.

But I'd be cautious if I were you.

-So you'll try and confirm this rumor for me?

-I'll try, and you'll let me know

about this other weed thing when it's ready.

-Yeah.

That could happen tonight.

-All right.

[ambient music]

-We don't want anybody shooting Jack

during this, all right?

Everybody's got that?

You can rough him up,

but we just don't want him hurt too bad.

We just want him grateful he didn't get killed.

-Yeah?

-995 East Cordova, that's the warehouse.

-Got it.

Weed's stashed in a warehouse on East Cordova.

-Let me see where that is.

[phone ringing]

-Hey.

-Yeah, I got an address for you,

I need to find out who owns the place.

-All right, hang on, I need a pen.

Hang on.

All right.

Go.

-995.

-It's 995 East Cordova.

-All right, got it, all right, give me a couple hours.

-All right.

Got somebody watching Jack?

-Yeah, we're all set. -All right.

Dealer: Okay, this is looking good.

-I'm at the shop, how long are you gonna be?

Dealer: Give us an hour-and-a-half.

-Okay.

[entrancing music]

-We're just waiting, any minute now.

Gonna go get ready, you cool here?

-Yeah.

-What do we know?

-Good news, the money's landed.

-In our bank?

-50 mil of your money in The Bahamas in your own bank.

It's done. -Good job, Phil.

-Number one.

-Mr. Shen.

I'm with the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service,

so are these two gentlemen behind me.

Can you come with us, quietly, please?

-Hey, Ronnie,

can I get the keys? Brought a champagne.

-You need some help?

-I got it.

Ronnie: How long is that flight to The Bahamas?

-It's a bit of a pain in the ass.

You got to go through Toronto, Montreal.

Why, you want to go visit your money?

-A good excuse, right?

Maybe take Sweet on a little trip

before she gets too far along to fly.

-Are you gonna get married?

-I can't, I'm not divorced yet.

-Does Sweet know this?

-No.

I'm gonna have to take care of that.

-You can take the blindfold off.

Inspector Spalding,

Canadian Security Intelligence Service director.

How are you?

-Are you sending me back to China?

-No, not necessarily.

I'd like to ask you a few questions

before we make any decisions regarding your status.

When did you decide to defect?

-I planned it for five years.

-How did you meet the minister?

-I was still in the cultural exchange tour.

I was invited to a government-sponsored dinner in Ottawa.

The minister was handing out a book prize.

-How did you approach the minister?

-I didn't approach him, he approached me

and gave me his card and

told me to visit him at his hotel.

He said he had connections to some publishers

who might want to publish my work.

-You know that you're suspected of spying?

-Yes, of course, I'm Chinese.

You think we're all spies.

-But you're not. -No.

-This is the new guy.

He's bringing the money himself.

[phone ringing]

-Yeah?

-Hey, we got Jack and the new guy both over here.

We hit them both?

Ask Jimmy what we do with the new guy.

Do we let him leave, do we lay into him, or what?

-Hold on a second.

Yeah, I'm looking for him.

You seen Jimmy?

-No.

-What's up?

-Bob wants to know what to do.

-Yeah, hey.

-Hey, you're not gonna get the new guy

in the bust with the weed.

He's over here with Jack right now.

Looks like he brought the cash with him.

-Okay, give me a couple of minutes.

-Who's this man?

-He's a friend, a lover.

Please don't tell the minister about this.

[phone ringing] Understand my position here.

I need to find a way to stay in Canada.

-Excuse me a minute.

Yes?

-Yeah, it's a go for you.

The warehouse 995 East Cordova.

You got to move fast.

[phone dialing]

-The warehouse at 995 East Cordova.

-It's a go.

-Is that the bracelet the minister bought for you?

-Yes.

-You'd like to stay in Canada

and continue to enjoy the minister's company?

-Yes.

-Do you know why you're being investigated?

-Because the government is afraid

the minister will be exposed as a homosexual,

and will lose his seat in the next election.

-Is that what the minister's afraid of?

-Yes, they don't think he'll be reelected if he's outed.

They need him to win his seat.

-Would you be interested in remaining in the country

and doing a little work for me?

-What is the other choice?

-I'm not sure there is one.

-You want me to spy on the minister?

-No, I want you to tell me everything you can

about the Chinese Secret Service here in Canada,

how they work, what they're after.

-Would I have to stop seeing the minister?

-You're gonna leave him sooner or later.

I'm asking it be sooner.

-You put me in a difficult position.

Mary: What do you say?

-What's the money like?

-It's negotiable.

-Hope you don't got Lorna's perfume all over you.

Maybe you got a death wish.

-Yeah, it's a go.

[dramatic music]

-Nobody move, nobody move, down!

Down, everyone get down!

You, down on the ground! -Hey, what the hell is this?!

-Money! Money!

[grunting]

Go, go, go!

Go, let's go!

[dramatic music]

Good job, boys.

[phone ringing]

-Yeah. -We're done.

On our way.

-All right, I'll be here.

-Put 50 in a bag for Larry.

I told him we'd drop it off tonight.

[electronic music]

Officer: Vancouver police, don't move!

Officer: Step away from the table,

put your hands in the air,

get down on your knees!

Officer: Down, down.

Okay, separate them.

[electronic music]

-Mr. Shen has decided to stop seeing the minister.

He's gonna make a phone call,

say goodbye, and your problem is solved.

-You don't think that Shen is working

for the Chinese Secret Service?

-No, I don't think he's got what it takes.

He's just an opportunist.

He's already found himself another boyfriend.

-I'm sure you'll keep an eye on him for us anyway.

Mary: Mm-hmm.

-Okay, thanks.

The inspector general said that you could

handle this, and you did.

I'll keep you in mind for the future.

-Good night. -Good night.

[phone dialing]

-We're done here, we did pretty good.

-Excellent, thank you.

[knocking]

Come in.

Sit down.

Sorry to call you out so late,

I hope I didn't interrupt anything.

-No.

-This gentleman needs to be given an extension

on his visa immediately,

no questions asked.

-Lok Shen.

What's his story?

-I believe I just said no questions asked.

He needs a visa, he needs it tomorrow, yeah?

-Yes, ma'am.

[mellow music]

-How'd it go tonight?

-Very well as I understand, how did it go for you?

-Yeah, we're all right now.

Good night. -Night.

[knocking]

-Feel like getting a drink?
