Underbelly Files: Infiltration Page #4

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 most important day

in a Catholic kid's life

and you got here for her?

You agnostic bastard.

Ask him if he's making

it to my chef graduation.

Are you gonna make it

to the most important day

in your only kid's life?

I promised I'd try, OK?

Try! Try? Mmm.

You slack parenting bastard.

I'll do my best, sweetheart.

? Watching you touch

? We're past this much

? I'm alone with you tonight

I'm alone with you tonight...

In this job. You never.

Ever get over the nerves.

It was the Calabrians' move.

We coud only play it by ear.

Colin's job was to become Antonio's mate.

Mine

- to keep Rosario happy.

Have you still got this f***ing thing?

Let me get you a new one. I know a guy.

Thanks all the same, but

I actually had it fixed.

But it's sh*t! Well,

it's sentimental sh*t, OK?

Jude got it for me. Capito?

Jude, I gotta ask you something. Ask away.

Cole, this picture thing

- I spoke to the accountant.

He liked the idea. Mm-hm, OK.

Rocco's shy. Can't talk to a skirt.

His balls turn blue

like they're gonna burst.

I don't know what was worse -

Rosario's mouth. His B

O. or his dress sense.

Maybe you have time to find

a nice painting for my wall.

Yeah, sure.

I mean, there's bound to be an

art auction on somewhere, you know?

The accountant said also

maybe we can find other

w ays to work together.

Maybe make use of your bank account.

Er, park some money for you?

For a commission, of course.

Nah, mate, I wouldn't

have a problem with that.

You guys must be doing

alright out of oranges.

You bet. Plenty money

in oranges. And lemons.

And we have other, um,

irons in the fire.

It was the first hint he'd given. But

a giant step in the right direction.

It was a double infiltration.

We were seducing him

and he was seducing us.

50 f***ing grand for that?

It's nice. I like it.

So do I.

You got good taste, Jude.

This, er, Maria, my wife.

Cole Goodwin, Jude

Powell. Lovely to meet you.

Oh, these are noisy

kids, Louisa, Little Tony.

Louisa!

I think Antonio should

spend less time with Rosario

and much more time with Cole.

Every so often I'd catch myself thinking.

"These are very w arm.

generous people. I like them. "

? Feels like

? Someone's alw ays

looking over my shouder

? So scared

? I'm frightened just to

w alk around the corner

? Last night

? Your eyes upon me everywhere

? Looking over my shouder

Oh. oh...

For a drug-dealing Mafioso,

Antonio Russo's pretty good company.

? Looking over my shouder

Oh. oh. oh. oh. oh.

Cole, what do you reckon

about Italian religious art?

Oh, I could take it or leave it.

You can be honest. Maria likes this stuff.

Hi, Jude. Hi, Cole. Maria.

What do I like? Religious art.

Hey, you leave my religious

art alone. It's my faith.

Coffee? Yes, please.

Me, I have faith.

But I hate religious f***ing art.

If I see another agonised

John the Baptist...

...I'll amputate his f***ing head myself.

So, Cole Goodwin,

these other irons we have in the fire -

a small business we have on the side.

Plenty of dope smoked in art business?

Mate, the art business would

be paralysed without choof.

That's interesting.

We... we was wondering.

But that's nothing compared

to the music business.

I've got some contacts in music and

they love their drugs, believe me.

That's even more interesting.

So one that size, that's a

Frankie size. That's a Tony size.

Keep going, keep going. That's my size.

Jude? Jude? Yeah.

I'm studying for my confirmation.

Oh, Louisa, I'm not Catholic.

You don't have to be to test me. Oh.

OK, the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit?

Can't you ask me the disciples?

Louisa, you know the disciples.

Come on.

What are the seven gifts?

Hey, Cole! Cole!

What does he bloody know?

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute!

What are you doing?!

What are you doing?

You are not good!

I know. Not very good.

That's no good. Sorry.

It's the Italian priority

that works for me.

Family.

Why you feel so much for family, Cole?

Growing up, there wasn't much of one.

Makes you swear you'd do it

differently if you ever have one.

One day, I hope you have the opportunity.

Mmm.

Your road has been hard, huh?

Oh, you do your best.

Don't ever make our road hard, Cole.

Ever.

Welcome to our family, Cole Goodwin.

What are you telling me?

Something's happened.

Leave it with me. I'll fix it.

Madonna, madonna, madonna, madonna.

He's coming.

We have a problem.

Business. We have a snitch. We must go.

A snitch?

Someone we thought we could trust, huh?

Not your problem. We find

the snitch, they have problem.

Stay, enjoy yourselves.

We didn't know what the hell had happened.

But Colin grabbed the opportunity

to prove that we'd been in the house

in case Antonio ever

tried to deny he'd met us.

Yeah. Thanks, Sandra.

Yeah, good work, mate.

Some Queensland admin d*ckhead

decided an N'Drangheta bust

in the Queensland boondocks

wouldn't impact on our operation.

How could they not think

that that would impact on us?

Dunno whether you've noticed this, Jude,

but the service is made up of two ranks

that usually manage to achieve something,

and above us about seven ranks of clowns

who wouldn't know if

their penises were on fire.

Junk food and cat piss

- perfect way to celebrate a graduation.

If Chef could see us now...

Hey, who's missing?

Um, my dad. We share.

He couldn't make it, but

I know he's here in spirit.

Cheers. Cheers.

? I've got no helmet

Baby. I've got no light

? When your boyfriend comes back to town

? I'll be gone

I didn't choose to

be riding with you...

Carlo Ricci's been on

the phone to Calabria.

He wants someone called Massimo Falzetta

on the first plane out here.

Massimo who-the-f***?

I don't know.

Guido and the anti-Mafia

unit in Rome will know.

Thanks, Sandra.

Carlo Ricci's importing a

snitch-hunter - Massimo Falzetta.

According to Guido in the

anti-Mafia unit in Rome,

his talents are spoken of with awe.

Ciao, Rocco.

I think maybe we find some

place nice to talk business.

What about back at our place?

Jude does not want to be bothered

by men discussing business.

I don't mind men discussing business.

Come on, Jude. Let's go, sweetheart.

Jude, you'll get him back again, huh?

Maybe a couple of hours.

Come on, Jude. Let's go, honey.

'Bye.

Papa Bear.

Papa Bear!

Hey, Papa Bear.

Papa Bear!

Hey, Papa Bear!

Papa Bear, hey.

Huh, what's that slag on?

Alright, are we ready?

We can keep a f***ing secret.

So if you can, Jude don't

have to know nothing.

Unless you make our road

hard, then we tell her.

Time to get down to business, Cole.

About time, Antonio.

This ain't for you lot's

delicate ears, Monica.

Go lick each other all over, huh?

I'll see you later.

OK. Cole. We have

another iron in the fire.

We're getting into cocaine.

What do you reckon?

You're diversifying?

It's a good business practice.

If you don't grow, you go backwards.

Yeah, absolutely.

What's the market like, you reckon,
