Befriend and Betray Page #5

Synopsis: Criminal organizations succeed by enforcing a strict code of trust and loyalty. To penetrate these organizations and gain access to their inner circles the police need a magic bullet. Alex Caine is that magic bullet. Only thirty years old, Alex, who grew up hard on the mean streets of Montreal, already brings a lifetime's worth of experience (foster care, military service, prison time) to the world's most dangerous occupation: professional gang infiltrator. It is his job to befriend criminals, participate in their illegal activities, gather evidence - then live long enough to testify against them in court. Inspired by real-life events, Befriend and Betray tells the story of Alex's first infiltration assignment - the case that transformed him from a rootless young man into a highly effective, defiantly unconventional crime-fighting resource. Approached by P.C. Lau, a ruthlessly ambitious soldier for the Kam Tin Triad, Alex is asked to help his old prison acquaintance with a business pro

doesn't matter how far up

Donald's ass he is,

he's not yet a brother

and gives P.C. the right

to collect

by any means necessary.

Alex:
So if I help p.

C. Get the money?

Then you piss off

the ghost eagles,

you impress P.C.,

but you get one step closer

to Donald.

Your people keep an eye

on my girlfriend,

they make sure she's safe,

and I will dig up enough

evidence to bury Donald wong.

Then we'll put him

and P.C. away

and we send that little girl

Bao li home.

Brian!

Not so high.

You remember what happened

last time.

McBradden's phone number.

You need to talk her

or to me, use this.

No SIM card;

that way there's no record

of incoming or outgoing calls.

$2000 dollars a week

will be deposited

into a private account.

If you live long enough

to testify,

I'll buy you a steak dinner.

(Laughs)

(Mel's cell rings)

Mel:
- Hello?

Alex:
- Hey.

It's me.

Mel:
Um, can you call

me back in an hour?

Alex:

What's wrong?

The er is at Mike's called.

Zoe's boyfriend Phillip.

He claims he fell down

a flight of stairs

but Zoe thinks someone

got sick of the attitude

and beat the crap out him.

I'll call you back.

(Phone beeps off)

P.C.:
Hey, Alex. Miss me?

What did you do to that kid?

P.C.:
Let's just say

next time bay street sees you,

he won't owe you money.

I'll be at your place

in an hour.

Time to go Bunny hunting.

(Phone rings)

McBradden:

Alex.

Alex:

P.C.'s coming in an hour.

We're going after Bunny.

I need a wire.

McBradden:

You need to delay the meeting

until you can tell me

where it is you're going

so your team can get in there

and check the place out.

You wanna nail P.C.

or not?

I want evidence

that will stand up in court.

But I don't want anyone to die,

including you.

Stall him.

I'll try to make sure P.C.

doesn't kill anyone.

The rest is up to you.

Alex:
First thing you

notice when you wear a wire,

your surveillance team

never parks close enough

to save your life.

Which makes it a good idea

to stay near the exit.

P.C.:
All right, this

is Bunny's bar, okay?

He's had this place for...

Right, see that guy

at the far table:

That's Kevin ho.

Bunny's cousin.

He'll know where to find him.

What about the other guys?

P.C.:
Ghost eagles.

Friends of Bunny's.

You handle them,

I'll take Kevin.

Hey, how you doing, Kevin?

Kevin:

Huh?! Ungh! Ungh!

P.C.:

Where the hell is Bunny?

Hmm? Huh?

Right. I'll buy you a drink

while 49 finishes his chat.

No one dies.

Just go

and head over to the bar.

(Radio feedback squeals

and crackles lightly)

What's wrong?

Some new BVB-t receivers

use the same frequency

as a uhf wireless mic.

English.

Willy:
This is why I

needed a tech survey.
