Hyena Page #2

Synopsis: Michael Logan is a police detective in London. His area is drugs and this brings him into contact with European drug syndicates. Logan is happy to turn a blind eye to their dealings, for a cut, or confiscate suppliers' merchandise for their own profit. So far he and his equally-crooked police colleagues have done quite well out of this. Then a deal he was planning with a member of a Turkish drug cartel goes sour and the balance of power swings to an Albanian gang, run by two brothers, the Kabashis. Logan quickly aims to provide the Albanians with the same service he provided the Turks, but they aren't easily lead. Meanwhile, he an his colleagues are being investigated by Internal Affairs. Just to make his life more complicated, he has been seconded to a vice task force, run by a former colleague whom he does not get along with.

Oh, Chris.

F*** off.

Hello?

Yeah, I know it well. When?

Okay. I'll see you then.

Anything happening?

No.

Michael.

Nice to see you.

You heard the news then?

Oh, yeah.

What was the charges, then?

Let's just say he'll be

going away for a long time.

Where's Big John?

Thought he owned this place.

Johnny's gone, man.

Gone where?

He needed some scenery changes.

Right.

Cheers, Michael.

Cheers.

It means "cheers."

No cash will

exchange hands at the moment.

For now...

You let me know if there's

anything you want me to intercept.

Occasionally things

might get lost in transit.

But eventually, I want a cut.

Call it retainer, if you like.

Okay. Let's see

how it's gonna go.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Thank you.

May I?

Mmm.

Not bad.

Like it?

Yeah.

On the house.

For me?

Yes, for you.

Don't mind if I do.

Where's John?

Hmm?

How long have those two

been running the club?

I don't know, I've only

worked here a few weeks.

Relax. Enjoy it, baby.

Hey, mister.

Can't go to sleep, you know.

Hey!

You want the same

order as before, yes?

Everything is okay, we're

just using a different route.

And it takes longer, that's all.

Fine. Bye.

Solucan.

We're f***ing money.

Where's the way out? Sorry, I got lost.

What are you doing?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's fine.

Where's the way out?

It's all right.

I couldn't find the toilet,

you understand?

Get out.

Michael.

What are you doing all

the way up here, man?

I got lost, I was looking

for the toilet.

Come on, time to go.

Come on, Michael,

time to go, I said.

Go on, get out.

You're getting drunk, man.

Why are you doing this to me?

How'd you find the offices?

Michael, it's

time to go, please. Sorry.

Ow!

What's he doing here?

Michael, sit down.

What the f*** is he doing here?

Knight? He's CSO-14.

He's heading the Balkan op

that you're on.

You are joking.

What's the problem, Michael?

We fell out,

you know what happened.

That was years ago,

it was cleared.

This is sh*t.

I'm moving to a new operation.

Are you?

I'm not sure how long

for, but in the meantime...

Paperwork.

Please make sure

everything is 100%

because Taylor will be looking

very closely at everything we do.

But why are you being moved?

I'm a good copper, Keith, and did

a lot of work with the Turks.

"Make sure

paperwork's 100%."

Morning all.

Morning.

I'm DI David Knight.

And I'm with CSO-14.

I'll be your new SAO on

the operation called "Fazool."

Now, according to stats,

according to Home

Office records,

more than 4,000 trafficked girls are

in the UK at any particular time.

It's very difficult for us

to get a conviction.

Victims don't talk.

And addresses don't match up.

And we end up

with very little to go on.

So, luckily for us,

these cells are moving into

different areas of crime.

Mainly drugs.

Which makes it much easier

to get a conviction.

The target for us at the moment

is a family of two brothers

Rezar Kabashi

and Nikolla Kabashi.

According to Interpol

they both served time

in Albania for

protection and violence.

They joined the army

in the late '90s.

And then... Bang!

After the conflict,

asylum to the UK.

They now run an Internet cafe

in Queensway.

I don't f***ing believe they came

here to run an Internet cafe.

But they've been

very careful up till now.

We have intel to suggest that

they're very heavy traffickers.

And they're moving into drugs

and taking over them areas.

Which is why they

ended up on our radar.

Hopefully, their multitasking

will be their undoing.

Yeah?

So I want you all to study them

files closely, and carefully.

Let's nail these

pair of bastards.

Come on, back on.

Ten years, eh?

Long time.

I wish I would have been

in touch sooner, but...

You know, I've missed this.

Me and you.

Miss working with you.

Having a laugh with the lads,

a few beers after work.

All over a stupid misunderstanding

which happened years ago.

You're a good copper though.

Always have been.

That's why we picked ya.

You've changed your tune.

Ah, don't get me wrong.

I was angry and upset

and that, but...

I grew.

I was right, though. We needed

that information and I got it.

No apology needed.

Let's just move on.

I'm not apologizing.

See, that's always the one

thing that always bothered me.

You were supposed

to have my back.

We were supposed to

look after each other.

You crossed the line

I crossed the line?

I didn't cross the line,

why would I cross the line?

We both crossed

the line together.

Not like that.

You spread a lot

of lies about me.

You could've f***ed

my career up.

Why did you believe him

and you didn't believe me?

She was underaged, Dave. I didn't

know that at the time, did I?

Case got kicked out anyway.

I didn't want it

backfiring on me.

Didn't mind it

backfiring on me, though?

You seem to be doing

all right for yourself.

That I am.

Nobody told you.

Me,

head of Vice, European division.

Nice house, lovely wife,

living in Brussels.

You see, I overcome.

Anyway.

Water under the bridge,

and all that.

Do you want another?

It's my round.

Same again, please, mate.

Do you want another brandy?

Yeah, quite, love.

Ta.

There's a whole unit

set up at the station,

an operation that

I've been assigned to.

You're our number-one target.

And we'll be putting you

under surveillance.

We'll be tapping your phones,

CCTV on the club.

Watching you both

round the clock.

So I suggest you keep a low

profile for the time being.

Stop any big movements.

What's happened, man?

We'll use these

from now on, okay?

Okay.

I'll be in touch.

Can I help you with those?

Ariana?

Can I help you?

No, I'm just leaving.

Leave, then.

Did I do that?

I'll need to talk to you about

what happened the other night.

I'm a policeman.

I can help you,

if you can help me.

Please. You have made things

difficult for me now.

Well, I can get you

out of this situation.

I need to know what you know

about the new route, Solucan.

They will kill my family.

Please.

I won't let that happen.

My number is hidden

as a barcode on the side.

My name's Michael.

Call me and I will help you.

Been lookin' at this club.

The capacities of 'em.

Blue Eyes.

How well do you know it?

I used to know it

when Big John Cook had it.

So you haven't been

down there lately then, no?

Oh, I been to look. Sure, yeah.

We're investigating it.

What?

Naughty, naughty.

Go on. You can't kid a kidder.

I know how it works.

One for you, one for the team.

Not sure what you mean.

What sort of deal have you

struck with the Albanians?

Deal?

Think you bought yourself a season

ticket down here, haven't ya?

For f***'s sake!

All the sh*t we used to

get up to back in the day?

Relax.

You can talk to me.

I'm earning their trust.

It's early days.

Good.

Well done, good work.

We'll... We'll need to

talk to their associates.

We'll get as much

background as we can.

I'm working on it.

Anything else?

No.

Okay, then I'll get to it.
