Original subtitles

Look at this place. I love it in here.

I get giddy everytime I step on the stage;

my heart pounds.

You bought this place? It's yours?

Yeah.

It's got potential don't you think?

I swear to God I never know what you're going to do next.

So...

David, thank you for this meeting.

As you know,

I'm a little behind this month.

Minor distribution issue.

But I'm dealing with it; it's not going to be a problem.

I need you to give me one more week.

Just... one more; okay?

You know me David, I'm good for it.

Guaranteed.

You're going to have to speak up a little bit.

Cause they can't hear you in the cheap seats.

How long we known each other Martin?

12, 15 years?

I was there when your son was born.

We stayed up all night drinking whiskey, remember that?

And now...

now you're lying to me.

No, David.

You see that, they took the race off the turf,

main track, it's muddy as hell.

He's got a late kick, but he needs some fractions to run at.

Hi, buddy.

Hey.

I'll be right over there, whenever you're ready, okay?

Two minutes.

This is Donny.

Hi, Donny. Now you look like trouble.

Hey, easy.

Two minutes. He's packing on the left side.

Got it.

Brandis. Stand by.

Two minutes 'til the drop buy. He's packing.

Okay. We're ready lets do this.

Let's go!

Come on, come on....

No, no, no, no.

Come on!

What? What did you do, bet the farm?

Hey, man. I've been there.

What am I talking about, I'm there right now.

I've got two guys breathing down my neck for vig.

That's why we're here right?

Forget our troubles,

Let's do some business. So, what do you say?

Just give me a second, okay, I'll be right back.

Where you going?

What's up?

I have no idea.

Guy just came in, they're on the patio.

I've seen this guy before. See if you can get a better look.

Blair's upset.

Looks like he's in trouble. Who is this guy?

See if you can get a photo.

Come on, let's go. We're here to make a buy, let's make it.

Quiet. Brandis, get off the air.

There's a new player here. Something bigger going on.

Something's wrong.

Get out here, he looks like he's going to bolt.

Hey!

All good?

Yeah, no, I'm good.

I'm fine.

Let's get out of here.

Brandis, it's off.

Moreland gave the signal; no arrest.

What the hell is he doing? This is my bust.

What's going on?

Come out on the patio and you're all stressed.

Screw it.

Nine pack. You in or out? Right now.

I don't know, I think I'm going to have to pass.

Wait, wait.

There's a guy. I'm in large, he's pushing.

I was going to pay him back but...

But your horse had to win.

Alright, I'm in. Nine pack it is.

There it is money for coke. Why are we not taking this guy down?

No, no, no way.

Uh oh.

What

Just hold on a sec, I'll be right back.

Let's go, taking this guy down right now.

Stay away from me! I told you no arrest.

Hey. Easy, easy... put that away; it's fine.

Like I said. You're not the only one with debts right?

Can we get the hell out of here? Come on.

We were there to make an arrest.

All he had to do was buy the coke, that was his job.

Circumstances changed.

Yeah, that's not your decision to make.

Middle of a play, you just don't call it off like that.

Sure I can.

What circumstances?

This guy showed up, on the patio.

He's Donny Blair's back end.

And you know that how, excatly? You've got a hunch?

If we stay on Blair, he'll lead us to the supplier.

You don't know that.

Am I talking too fast, you want me to slow down?

John.

It was part of the play, I was working.

The fact that he's too thick between the ears.

John, that's enough!

I'm going to need a new undercover.

You're off the case. I'm sorry.

This is Rebecca Ellis. Detective Sergeant. She's with the C.I.U.

Never heard of it, right? We're new.

Can I see that?

Detective Moreland is out of control.

You need to take his badge.

If you don't, I'll put in a formal complaint,

and charge him with assault.

Typical drug squad behaviour,

go for the bottom feeder and don't break a sweat.

It's a numbers game with these guys, it's all about the stats.

He's got a point though.

You can't assault another cop.

Brandis is well connected, John.

And you've done this one too many times.

C.I. what?

U. Stands for Covert Investigations Unit.

An Undercover unit.

A special undercover unit. Only the very best cases.

You got a choice John.

You can go either go on suspension,

or you can go work for Rebecca.

I don't care which; because if there's one thing I learned about you is,

you need a handler.

Really, you're just going to sit at home while I go after the bad guy?

I could use a vacation.

You can keep your team. Maria and Daniel, I want them too.

I have a budget, a covert office,

and I will protect you, John, I will let you work.

I don't like being managed.

You'll have to get past that. I'm a stickler.

The minute this guy's in cuffs, I'm done.

Is that what you're telling yourself?

You have zero leverage. I hold all the cards.

Now, tell me about your hunch.

Hey, guys. This is Rachel.

Rebecca. Hi, guys. Good work today.

Okay, here's the deal, listen up.

I took this ten years ago.

This guy supplied coke to half the city.

He was well-insualted, and paranoid.

We knew nothing about this guy.

We didn't even know his name. Then he disappeared.

Presumably left the country.

You're saying this is the same guy?

Yeah.

That's Donny Blair's supplier, guaranteed.

Good hunch.

So, we have an office. Simcoe and Pearl.

It's covert, there's a door at the back, you can drive in.

I'll see you there.

Welcome to the C.I.U.

What?

It's alright.

I'm going to keep an eye on Donny.

Who's your informant, that guy on Dundas, Manny?

Manuel, yeah.

I want you to go show him the photos, see if he can I.D. it.

Maria, I want you to go back to the files, all that spin we did on Blair.

I want to see if patio guy shows up.

John. Stop talking.

What happened to Brandis?

Brandis? I got suspended, then I didn't.

We're working for her now.

What?

We're okay with that?

Don't worry about it, it's temporary, .

And now I'm instantly worried.

You're losing it, you know that?

Come on let's go. Maria, the files.

He's crazy.

Hey, kiddo

Are you working right now?

Maybe.

Buying drugs

Where's your mother?

You mean your ex She's out with Joanne.

Hey, did you listen to that song?

I sent you the mp3.

Yes I did.

Did you?

Of course I did.

What did you think of the drum track?

I thought it was kickass.

Hold on, Emmy, hold on.

There was no drum truck on that song was there.

I thought you meant the other, I got mixed up.

Bye, Dad.

Emmy, wait, wait.

Donny, what's up brother?

Hey, man, listen I might need a wing man for tonight.

Yeah?

I gonna wine and dine this guy,

he's the single most boring person on the face of the earth.

You want to join?

Bring your lady? I promise I'll show you a good time.

Of course I'm in, where?

Aria, table by the window.

See you there.

Alright man, awesome.

Blair's inside, he wants me to join him.

So, who's that with him?

Don't know.

He's not a dealer, you can tell by the way he's dressed.

And he's drinking from the bottle.

Transport, maybe?

He's gotta be connected to Blair's supplier.

Did you talk to Manuel?

Blair's got his regular game on College, right?

Big money game.

Apparently he's been on a streak.

Not the good kind.

How bad?

Low six figures.

Eighty grand last week alone.

Kid's in trouble.

So, this new unit thing.

What's her name, Rachel?

Rebecca.

Rebecca, right.

You think it's temporary?

Look, I'm just saying, whatever you wanna do, I'm good.

I'll get suspended too.

You just gonna tell me who I should punch out.

What?

I'm going to do some police work now, okay.

Okay, we're not going to push, we're going to let Donny take the lead.

And see how it goes, alright?

Alright.

Let's get this guy talking and find out who he is.

There she is, alright, the lovely...

Maria.

Maria, that's right. Look at you.

What you're doing with this guy, I got no idea, I swear to God.

It's all about the blow.

My associate, Brian.

Hi, Brian.

It's nice to meet you.

Now you look like you know how to party.

We're going to have a time tonight, my friend.

As soon as I ditch this guy.

You gotta ditch him.

I have a place by the water, they pull these swordfish out of the ocean.

Are you okay?

Maria are you okay?

Yes, yes.

Get out of here. Before the cops get here.

Get out of here, now!

Are you okay?

In my purse there's some water.

It's the adrenaline.

It's okay.

I couldn't see through the window.

It's okay, Maria.

John, we weren't prepared.

We shouldn't have been there.

Hey, you alright?

What did you see?

It was a hit, John.

Did you get a look at the guys face? No.

Homicide's on scene?

That's what we saw this morning, on the patio.

That's why Blair was rattled. He was getting his orders.

I don't know.

He was the setup guy.

His job was to take that target to the restaurant.

Then why call John? Why bring us into it?

I don't think Blair knew it was going to happen.

There was a look on his face.

It's our new boss.

We're wanted at the office.

Daniel - Doesn't look like an HQ.

Maria - I think that's the idea.

Hey. It's nice, right?

It's a former steam distribution center.

Khali - So I just woke up a federal agent.

I had to break the news about the shooting,

and he started screaming at me like it was my fault.

Like I was the one that pulled the trigger.

These are surveillance photos.

Yes.

So the Feds have I.D. this guy.

That's right.

His name was Brian Carbone.

He owned a trucking firm, and he was shipping mucho drugs

across the border.

Hold on, can we take a step back here? Sure.

Who are you exactly?

Sorry, my fault. Officer Khali Bhatt.

She'll be helping with surveillance,

handling all the gear, looking after evidence, tech.

I'm your staff.

Nice to meet you.

So, let me guess, he was talking to the feds.

He was about to flip, he was this close.

That's right.

His employer, patio-guy, found out and had him killed.

Like I said, using one of his dealers

Donny Blair, to set it up.

So why didn't Donny know?

Because he didn't trust him?

Then why use him? Now he's a loose end.

He was at the same table, why not kill him too?

You're right. It doesn't make sense.

Your friend this federal agent.

Can you send him a photo of Blair's supplier?

Yeah.

We need to pick up surveillance on Blair, right now.

You should call him. He'll be expecting it.

Sorry to interrupt. John, can I see you in my office please?

John Rebecca- Or we could do it now.

Ummm...

you still got some blood on your face.

I promised to deliver Blair to Homicide by end of day tomorrow.

So, when you find him...

Forget it.

If we pick up Blair...

You want me to do it?

Listen to me here.

If we pick up Blair now.

Any shot we got of getting close to his boss,

who by the way is a major supplier and a serious bad guy

That's gone, it disappears.

It's a murder. It takes priority and you know that.

We'll talk to Blair before we hand him over;

it's the best I can do.

What is this, your undercover rotation?

Looks good on the resume,

help you make Inspector, that kind of thing?

You've been written up eleven times for insubordination,

suspended twice.

Which I have to say, has gotta be some kind of record.

You could've had your pick of UCs for this unit.

Why did you pick me?

Because you're extraordinary.

And I wanna work with the best.

So you'll arrest Donny Blair?

John, I had no idea, I swear to God.

You realize that was a hit. That was a pro job...

I would never have asked you to come

if I knew that was going to happen.

Who was that guy?

I can't tell you.

Why not? I can't talk about it.

Donny, I was sitting at that table...

So what do you think, are we going to do this?

I'm sorry?

I guess we don't have a choice.

How you doing?

Donny, I just wanna say I'm sorry.

This wasn't my call.

You're a cop?

Donny Blair you're under arrest for, among other things, trafficking in cocaine.

John - She's going to screw up.

Don't be so sure.

Seven buys,

all with fifteen transactions with eight of your other customers.

I have plenty of photos, would you like to see more?

No, thank you.

So far you're looking at ten to twelve years.

What else? Associating with a criminal organization.

The murder of Brian Carbone.

I had nothing to do with that.

You drove him there, Donny.

You set it up. That's accessory to.

I didn't know he was going to get killed.

Khali, can you move in closer on his face?

What is he not saying?

Here's the thing about you, Donny.

You've got what they call an addictive personality.

You like to sample the product.

And you like to play cards, often at the same time,

which is never a good idea.

And now you're down over three hundred grand,

and that makes you vulnerable.

Here's what I think happened.

This guy gave you an order, and you carried it out.

All the debt you're in, you had to, you had no choice.

And now, you're a liability.

And when you get to prison,

sorry Donny, but you're probably going to get killed.

That's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen.

John

That's it.

That's the reason he's so sure of himself.

I got it.

You're going to tell me this guy's name.

Can you give us a moment?

Excuse me?

Just one minute.

John- C'mon Donny, don't look at me like that.

I'm sorry I turned out to be a cop.

Who is this guy?

Is he your father?

Your uncle?

I'm right, aren't I?

It's the only reason why you're not dead.

But the big question is,

why didn't you know about the hit, Donny?

How come he didn't tell you about that?

Is it because he doesn't trust you?

You're in hell.

You're living in hell right now.

With all the drugs, and the debts.

You're out of control, and you're terrified.

You wanna know something,

I know what that's like, 'cause I've been there.

Guess what? I can fix all this.

I can make it so you can walk away, you don't have to go to prison.

You can just disappear, new life, new name, new city.

You don't have to be Donny Blair anymore.

Rebecca- No no no no...

Here we go.

You can't offer him protection.

Rebecca, these guys are family, they're stuck with each other.

Donny's gonna need to get back in favour with his uncle.

And his uncle's gonna want that too.

Just a second.

And because of that, he'll be willing to take a risk.

What does he need right now? Transport.

He just took out his own guy, what does little Donny do?

He comes up with a bright idea.

He knows someone. Exactly.

A friend of his. A client.

I've got no record. No flags. No issues at the border.

And guess what. I need money, fast, right now.

Rebecca we'll be stupid if we didn't try it.

It's our break.

I made a deal with Homicide.

Well make another one hot shot.

Make the call.

Your right, John, his name is David Thorpe.

He's my uncle.

He's got forty kilos in a storage locker across the border.

And he's worried about it.

Tell us about your uncle.

He's normal, he's got an ex-wife, two kids, a dog.

The thing is, he doesn't like criminals.

He likes people with families. It's all about the family.

You wanna get close to him, that's your way in; family.

So we set up a house, a normal house.

A guy, with normal problems, just like Thorpe,

I live with my wife, Maria, I have a son from a previous marriage,

because I'm all about family, right.

I'll get you some photos.

Or better, we get me a son. Someone he can meet and talk to.

I've got a guy. I'll call him.

Make sure he looks seventeen, eighteen.

Rebecca- He does.

What's going on? You okay?

She's on board for this?

What is it?

You really think he's going to flip on his uncle?

Maria. What's on your mind?

John, you're moving too fast. You want this guy too much.

And don't tell me it's none of my business

'cause if I'm in that house with you, my life's in danger too.

You think I'll put your life in danger?

Yesterday, you attacked a cop.

You live alone, you work all the time. So do you.

You lost your family, your daughter.

You're anything but normal.

If you can't pull this off, this guy will kill you.

That's what's on my mind.

Hey, kiddo, it's me, again.

I guess this is the silent treatment, huh?

Look, Emily, I'm really sorry; if you could just call me back.

I'd really like that, okay?

Alright, bye, I love you.

She sent me a song. I said I'd listen to it.

But then I lied.

So I'm trying to...

Right up there in the smoke detector.

Okay, everybody, this is Jesse Calvert.

He just graduated from the academy, two months ago.

Detectives Moreland and Cortez. Officer Bhatt.

Alright you're my son, you live with your mom in a condo down by the lake,

you're coming over for dinner, and we don't get along.

I've got one rule. Don't act.

Use your own life, be yourself, not somebody else.

Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.

Do you call your father sir?

This job, it doesn't matter who you are,

a pimp or a dealer or an accountant,

you still gotta be yourself.

Let's get you prepped.

Put this on. There's a microphone in the buckle,

it's got a range of, like, three hundred metres max

so don't go far.

Cameras there, and there.

There's two more outside.

I need to you visible to one of them at every moment, okay?

Okay.

Muscle has arrived.

And here comes Thorpe.

Driver's getting out.

Come in. I'm Maria, I'm John's wife.

David. Pleasure.

Donny, right? We met at the...

Yes. Hey. Very nice to see you again.

I made us some fresh coffee.

Would you like some coffee?

No thank-you, we're fine.

Please make yourselves comfortable, John will be down in a second.

Thanks. Thank you.

There he is.

Sorry, but my son called.

Hi, I'm John.

This is my Uncle David.

Jesse said he's running late but he's on his way.

Okay, great.

Wanna talk inside here?

Why don't we sit outside. It's a beautiful day.

Great idea.

It's a really nice house, John. First time I've seen it.

Thanks.

What kind of work do you do?

I'm a bond trader. I have a little boutique firm downtown.

And you're divorced.

Yes.

There he is. Hey Jess.

Come over here, I want to introduce two colleagues of mine.

This is Donny Blair.

Jess, David.

Hey.

So you don't live here with your dad?

I live with my mother. We got this condo.

Yeah, we...

We just live right down by the lake, two bedroom, it's...

I got here on; I took my bike.

Easy.

Don't loss it, Jesse.

He's starting university next year.

It's hard to believe how quickly they grow up.

Can I go?

Just hold on a second. Come here.

Look at me.

Are you on something?

No.

Khali- He's saving it, he's playing a cokehead.

Get inside.

Get inside now.

I apologize.

He's going through a bad time right now.

As I was saying Uncle David, John's a client of mine.

He's a real good guy,

and he wants to help us out,

with transport.

Have you got some time right now?

Something I'd like to show you.

Yeah, of course.

We'll ride with Carl. You can follow in my car.

John- Just let me tell my wife.

What the hell?

Don't do this.

Tell Daniel, not too close.

He's going to get in the car.

So where we headed?

Your phone.

You're lying to me, John.

Why you lying?

Rebecca- Daniel, don't lose them.

Daniel- No chance.

We're right behind you.

Damn. Let's go.

Stand over there.

What's going on? Everything cool?

I just bought this place.

It's got potential, don't you think?

Yeah it's great.

Are you a policeman, John?

What?

Have you enlisted my nephew, is that what's happening here?

You've flipped him?

Uncle David, no.

Of course not.

Are you lying to me right now?

Uncle David, nobody's lying.

I mean he's got some troubles.

So I imagine that would make him an easy mark.

Look, I don't know where you're getting these ideas from...

Do you know what undercover cops do when they get challenged?

They get aggressive.

Outraged, even. It's a technique.

Uncle David.

Nobody's a cop, I told you, he's a client of mine.

You can step back outside.

I'm going to have a talk with Johnny here.

Go on.

Blair just came out alone.

I'm going to see if I can get closer.

Rebecca- Okay, we're close, we're almost there.

Rebecca- There's Daniel I see him.

Khali- I just got audio, we're back in range.

Should we notify ETF?

Not yet.

Moreland's alone in there.

And if we go in too soon, he's a dead man.

He knows what he's doing, we're going to let this play.

You've been buying drugs, gathering evidence.

You could arrest him,

but instead, you're making a play for me.

Look, Mr. Thorpe,

I don't know what I can do to convince you that I'm not lying here.

Just wait a second, alright.

Donny, he owes me money,

but he owes everybody...

Thorpe- That's enough.

You stop lying, John.

Start telling the truth.

The truth?

Donny told me that I should get a family.

He said you trusted guys with families.

So what you saw...

Oh man.

Alright, alright.

Yesterday,

I punched a client right in the face.

He found out,

that I was stealing from his account.

Over a million. I gambled it, all of it.

And he comes after me and I...

I punched him.

And what you saw in the house...

that was my son...

he won't talk to me anymore.

My own kid.

He won't forgive me, for not being there.

For disappearing.

So I pay him a hundred bucks to make an appearance,

and he shows up high as a kite.

I don't have a family...

not anymore.

I've got an ex-wife...

I love my kid.

I love my kid more than anything.

More than life.

I'm in trouble.

That's the truth.

My life is a complete mess.

And at some point I went off the rails.

And it just gets worse and worse and worse.

And I need to fix it.

Do you understand?

So.

Alright, if you don't believe me.

Then you shoot me.

Oh my God, what are we doing?

John- Pull the trigger.

Come on.

You pull the trigger, come on do it.

Come on, tough guy, you do that.

Come on, tough guy.

Do it!

Do it!

I'll do your job. I'll move your dope.

If you want to talk to me, I'll be outside.

He's out.

That's the signal. We're good, we're on track.

Daniel- It's going to happen.

You wanna sit down?

Something I don't get.

How are you not dead?

You would have said anything to Thorpe in that theatre.

You would have done anything.

Think you can stop doing that?

You know I think I'll just take the suspension.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean you got this HQ, and got these really great resources

and Khali who is clearly...

Amazing.

Yeah.

And you got the cases.

And we wouldn't just be working with the drug squad right?

Vice, TOC, white collar, guns, you name it.

Kinda your dream job, really.

The only downside is me.

I'd have to follow your orders.

Everyone.

You know, I'd rather just lose my job. Get drunk, get bitter and depressed.

Well, that's your call.

I'l see you tomorrow.

You should offer that kid Jesse a job.

It's good, right?

Em, it's great.

Can I tell you something?

I don't care if you're a crappy Dad.

I don't care about the song.

What I care about...

don't you get it?

I'm the one you don't lie to.

You don't ever lie.

John- No more lies.

I love you honey, okay.

Sleep well, alright.

You too.

That's my girl.
