Befriend and Betray Page #3

Yeah. No worries.

I'll call you.

(Alex's cell rings)

Alex:

Yeah?

Alex Caine?

Sergeant guy Poirier.

Criminal intelligence services.

Criminal what?

Poirier:

Criminal intelligence services.

We make sure that

law enforcement agencies

share resources

so the bad guys don't slip

through the cracks.

That's how I know about

your beef with P.C.

Sgt. McBradden and I

already had that conversation.

Poirier:
The Kam Tin Triad

have 50,000 members worldwide.

You take care of P.C.,

that's still 49,999.

Meet at the Novatel hotel,

the Brookdale room,

and, uh, make sure

you're not followed.

There will be snacks.

(Motorcycle rumbles)

Poirier:

My daughter made them.

They're great.

Alex:

Interesting fact about crooks -

even retired ones -

you can always smell

another ex-con a mile away.

It's like radar for bad guys

and almost never wrong.

Poirier:

Recognize him?

Alex:

P.C. Lau.

Did some time at Kent

the same time I was there.

And then he threatened

your girlfriend

if you wouldn't help him

sell his heroin.

So then you must know Bunny Ho.

Tried to sell a table

of poker players,

including myself,

sex with a 15-year-old

named Bao li.

Poirier:

When?

Last night.

McBradden:

For a guy trying to go straight,

you know more than your share

of bad guys, Mr. Caine.

For the head

of the Asian gang squad,

you don't.

McBradden:
Donald wong - p.

C.'S immediate boss,

his red pole.

Donald's taken over

most of the Kam Tin's

criminal operations,

which makes him

our prime target.

It was his idea

to bring in girls like...

Bao li.

McBradden:

...On modeling contracts.

He sets up bogus agencies

in Shanghai,

Hong Kong, Guangzhou,

and the girls come to him.

No kidnapping.

No snake heads.

Some of them even pay

their own way.

So why not just arrest him

and P.C.?

Poirier:
To bust Donald

, she needs a way in.

Trouble is, that although

the Kam Tin have friendlies

operating inside of her house,

she doesn't have anybody

operating inside theirs...

Until now.

P.C. is what's known

as "the gunk":

A bonafide bad guy

who's so desperate

to do business

that he greases the wheels,

allowing you inside.

You want me to be an informant.

Poirier:
An informant

rats out his friends.

You would be an infiltrator,

a member of my team.

Think about what it means

to have P.C. on the street.

Think about Bao li.

With your help, we can save her

and a hundred other girls

just like her.

So, what do you say?

Yeah.

Poirier:

Good.

Saying yes

is only the first step.

Before you go,

my second in command has just

a few more questions for you.

Yuen:
Let's talk about

your time in Iraq.

(Rattle of machine guns)

(Distorted chatter
