Underbelly Files: Infiltration Page #3

Synopsis: This is a true story. Australian cop Colin McLaren goes undercover in an attempt to infiltrate the mafia. McLaren, who poses as a dodgy art dealer who can launder money, is introduced to the highest levels of the Italian mafia. He befriends the Australian Godfather. They form a relationship and McLaren eventually starts to negotiate and purchase vast amounts of pure cocaine. He needs corroboration to prove the drug buys so he introduces his girlfriend to the mafia syndicate. A Police woman without any undercover experience. She excels and the sting gets better and bolder. They spend two years socializing with the mafia, as McLaren does various drug deals, and the evidence mounts up. In time the mafia invites McLaren into a massive conspiracy to import a plane load of pure cocaine from Columbia as well as a plane load of Buddha sticks - cannabis - from the New Guinea jungle. The drug importation is signaled by the Police hierarchy as the end of the operation, although McLaren wants to k

I'm Sara. Herlihy.

Hi, Sara. Cole Goodwin.

"Coal'? Like as in"coal'

- Newcastle kind of coal?

No,

C-O-L-E.

Oh. Old family name.

Really? Tradition

- that's so good.

Where you from? Melbourne.

Mmm, I love Melbourne.

I've never been there, but

I just... I know I'd love it.

What do you do?

Self-employed. I'm an art dealer.

Wow. I love art. Yeah?

Yep. Can you... Sorry,

just excuse me. Just a sec.

Hey, boys. I'll see you later, yeah?

Well, you're a naughty man.

Hey, Sara, I can be

pretty f***ing naughty too.

I'll see you later. Ciao.

Oh, nice tits.

Thank you. Nice shirt.

Could you show some respect?

Hi, lover.

My name's Cole Goodwin.

I'm a Melbourne art dealer.

And we're overnighting here

on our way to Broken Hill

to Pro Hart's gallery.

Now it all became stunningly

crystal clear to me.

My team leader was flying

by the seat of his pants.

But what did I know?

I was only a squirrel.

I love Pro Hart. Yeah.

He does key rings.

For the next two hours.

Colin's strategy was

to get Sara very drunk.

I had a job.

In Broken Hill?

No, no, no. Here at Griffith Library.

Fair dinkum? Mmm.

But I'm friendly with the wrong Italians,

so they said no.

So no job. Bastards.

Yeah.

Well, it's because, um... Come here.

It's because... they're the Mafia.

N'Drangheta.

They're, um, Calabrian Mafia.

Huh.

They're my boys.

Yeah.

But they're my only friends here.

Sorry I'm late. Traffic.

What have I missed?

We're infiltrating the N'Drangheta.

Cole Goodwin, art dealer,

will have cards, brochures and stationery

printed up inside 24 hours

and the Pro Hart key

rings are organised, mate.

Good stuff, mate. Roger, good morning.

Infiltration? Yep.

Jude and I found the

perfect back to ride in on -

a female associate desperate for friends.

There's no way into the

N'Drangheta. You heard Vito.

What's more, Jude is only a squirrel.

The art world has a seriously...

A very good squirrel.

She is, mate. But the art world

has a seriously shonky underbelly.

That's our angle and

that's what's happening.

So you're prepared to risk Jude's life?

No. I am.

Infiltration isn't undercover.

Undercover's pretending to be a waiter,

a cab driver for a couple of weeks.

Infiltration is about burrowing

into your targets' hearts,

winning their trust and

living their lives with them

for however long it takes...

...as long as they don't

twig to you first...

...and kill you.

If you're up for this, I'll be glad.

And if you're not, then

I'll understand completely.

If you think I can do it...

It's not what I think. It's

going to be your life at risk.

Yours if I screw up.

Yeah, but I've been there

and I've done it, OK?

I know the risks.
