The Romeo Section - First Season

Previously on the Romeo Section...

: Has been arrested in China

on charges of espionage.

Mr. Daniel Gascoyne and his wife, Martha...

I don't know if you heard, but the Gascoynes got pinched.

Is this why the Service is looking at me for a leak?

You got a little rattle in the back of your trunk

you should check out.

Eva Walker?

Do I know you?

I can offer you $200 every day you report back to me

what you observe inside the church.

Could be a regime change coming for the Red Mountain Triad.

Top man is ill.

You have a great opportunity.

Are you ready to take it?

S01E03 West Ocean Ghost

Thank you.

Yeah. She just went in, in that building on Gore.

She's all dressed up.

Miguel?

Goodnight. I'm leaving now.

- I was hoping it was you. - Jesus Christ.

- I'm sorry. - You scared me.

I was looking for you to say goodnight.

I was doing the same thing,

looking for you.

Thank you.

Everything is shimmering.

Vibrating.

It's a beautiful night.

It's also like that when you're scared,

everything vibrates.

All of your senses are on high alert.

You try to relax.

For you to invite me

to come up here for a few moments is...

a little sanctuary of peace.

So thank you for the gift.

I think we are becoming friends.

I hope so.

I feel safe up here.

Above everything.

: How we doing tonight sir?

Pretty fine.

Yourself?

Just checking up on who's who.

This your boat?

It is.

Just...

throwing some traps on board.

Thinking about going crabbing?

Uh-huh.

You're about six hours too early.

You might want to wait for high tide.

Yeah, just...

just getting her prepped up.

How you cook your crabs?

Throw 'em in a pot, drop in some peppercorns.

Oh, I never tried that.

What's your name?

Rufus.

Last name?

Just want to make sure

you're not trying to steal some other fella's boat.

It's Decker.

You seriously think somebody wants to steal this boat?

Not that one over there.

That's gotta be half a mil.

Oh, you'd be surprised

what some of these crackheads do.

I once saw two of 'em hitch up like a pair of mules

and try to run a boat outta here.

Right under your nose, huh?

Oh, I caught 'em.

Crackheads, how fast can they run,

pulling a boat?

Well, you know what, Rufus,

it says here you owe the lot here some back fees.

I'm afraid you can't take the boat out until that's paid up.

You're fucking kidding me.

No.

You take a credit card?

No, sir.

You have to wait till the office over there is open.

Crabs will still be out there.

All right.

You're the boss.

Goodnight.

Oh.

I forgot to mention they want to interview you.

Nice shot.

Your job, If I remember correctly,

is to keep the hounds from my door.

It's routine. They're just checking boxes.

Raise more eyebrows if you don't.

They're not looking for proof of my innocence, Al.

They're building a case

based on innuendo and circumstantial evidence,

that they're going to twist and use against me

however they like,

maybe sooner, maybe later.

Do your job and kiss them off for me.

It's my reputation. I've got fuck all else.

That won't go in your favour.

That's my point.

They've already set the result...

a failure of the test, whether I say yay or nay.

So the answer is "nay," then?

The answer is fuck off.

Mrs. Gascoyne, Martha, was arrested

with an Aussie passport in a different name,

an airline ticket to Melbourne,

and $10,000 Aussie cash.

What does that suggest to you?

It suggests she had a get-away-quick kit

stashed under her bed.

It's standard practice for any operator in the field.

She took the bullet train from Shenzhen to Hong Kong

and was last observed

roaming around Chungking Mansions,

just around the corner from your guesthouse.

Coincidence.

Maybe, but it might lead a reasonable person

to think that you supplied her with the passport.

If I was going to get her out of the country,

she'd be out of the country.

That's what I told them.

And they still insist on an interview.

Yes, they do.

That says more about you than it does me.

This is a standard procedure.

We've got two people in a foreign prison

and you may be the last contact they made.

Bullshit.

And you know it.

Not really, no, I don't.

But you do,

and you're going to come to the meeting

whenever they damn well schedule it,

and you're going to answer

whatever questions they put to you.

Why?

Because you're not a complete fucking idiot.

This was not our deal.

Life is change, my friend. Life is change.

I can give you the name of a very good divorce lawyer,

but I can't represent you.

I represent Vince.

I can't go to a regular lawyer.

Come on, you know that.

We're talking about proceeds of crime.

I'm not ratting anybody out.

I know someone who can deal with this kind of thing

very discretely.

Yeah, so do I.

You.

And I'm in a conflict of interest here...

And you know where he hides all the money.

It's not fair, is it?

- I put the whole crew together. - I know.

Bootsie, Sanjay, Red...

they're my friends.

I told him to hire you.

I know, and I appreciate that.

But you're gonna fuck me anyway.

I am not out to screw you.

I'm just looking for my fair share of the spoils.

And I will take over that fucking crew if I have to.

- You can tell Vince that. - Okay, calm down.

- I'm not gonna take this shit. - Calm down.

I can't take you on as a client.

But I can advise you, and my first piece of advice

is you can't be talking about

taking over Vince's crew with anybody.

My crew.

I'm just taking them back.

Okay.

You can't repeat what I'm going to tell you,

but you need to know this.

You know Rick was supposed to go out east

to take care of some family business.

Yeah.

Rick doesn't have a family,

back east or anywhere.

He made a move against Vince, and it backfired.

You understand what I'm saying?

Is that a threat?

Is that what this is?

Don't you fucking threaten me.

It's a warning, Dee,

from a friend who doesn't want to see you get hurt.

Here's a fucking warning.

I want half.

Half... or the gloves come off.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I understand.

Jesus.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You know how to take pictures with one of those?
