When it comes to crime,
most people
keep their distance.
Staying out of trouble
is human nature.
(Muted chatter)
(Man speaks cantonese)
But if you're like me
and you infiltrate
criminal gangs for a living,
doing the smart thing
is not always possible.
(Sirens wail in the distance)
Alex:
Not that this jobdoesn't have its perks -
going new places.
Meeting new people.
It's like a clubmed
for guys with a death wish.
(Door smashes open)
Alex:
But you wanna knowthe best part of this job?
You are never, ever bored.
A week ago,
helping the law dismantle a gang
was the furthest thing
from my mind.
I was starting a new life,
teaching part-time,
and getting to know...
Very good.
Melanie Meadwell.
Now, when it comes to women,
you tell them
you did a little time
for a disagreement
with a drunk off-duty cop,
and they tend to dance
in the opposite direction.
This is safe, right?
We'll see.
Alex:
Not Mel.
Are you okay?
Alex:
(Pained grunt)
For her,
the past was exactly that
and the future was something
So I was thinking,
after I finish
this research proposal,
maybe we could go somewhere
together.
You know,
have a little adventure.
Nothing expensive just...
Broke grad student
and her boyfriend on a budget
gone wild!
before
that you'd like to go?
Your house.
I prefer your place.
Alex:
Yeah.
While Mel was pursuing
her studies,
i was continuing
which is how
i became reacquainted
with winstead P.C. Lau.
P.C. was a 49 -
a soldier for
the Kam Tin Triad -
who earned his nickname
for settling an argument
with a polo mallet,
just like Prince Charles.
P.C. and Alex:
(Fighting grunts)
Alex:
We met in prison
and, well, you couldn't
exactly call us friends.
H-unit, right?
How long you been out?
Alex:
And that's the thingabout becoming an infiltrator.
You don't go looking
for the job,
it finds you.
And you don't see it coming
until it's already there.
Sorry. Didn't mean to put you
on the spot back there.
No disrespect.
None taken.
P.C.:
So how's the, ah,kiddie karate business?
It's, uh, doing okay.
Doing okay?
Guy with your moves...
Did your time like a man,
not a b*tch...
You should be doing
a lot better than okay.
Listen. I wanna move
some weight into quebec.
Trouble is bikers hate us.
Frogs are such racists.
(Smarmy chuckle)
I here you grew up there.
You know the streets,
you know the people.
I make you my middleman
and they'll never see
a Tong Yan, all right?
It's just one Gwai Lo
doing business with another.
Listen,
hanging with those guys,
it's, uh...Not something
I do anymore.
Oh yeah. You're...
You're "Alex Caine" now.
(Laughs)
Listen.
I'll talk to my four two six,
all right?
And we'll check you out -
hei dai...
Make sure we can trust you.
Think it over.
Mel:
Are you coming up?
Yeah.
Mel:
I know where we'll go!
Skydiving in Newfoundland.
What?
Apparently,
is spectacular
from 13,000 feet.
I love you.
Good night.
(Muffled footsteps)
P.C.:
Wakey, wakey!
I needed something
for the bagels.
Mornin'.
Don't worry.
I waited, uh... till she left.
Hey, listen.
My four two six is cool
with us doing business,
all right?
But only on a trial basis.
So, we take it slow,
build the trust.
Alex:
Won't work.
Why not?
'Cause I've been gone too long.
All my contacts are either dead
or in jail.
So make some new ones.
I'm not your man.
Except you already know
my business, which...
