Where Good Men Die Like Dogs
Crime boss Jimmy Reardon continues his informer-role with Organized Crime Unit Director Mary Spalding, at the same time shipping his own grower-turned-snitch, Bill, off to Mexico. Mary is still being groomed for a position at CSIS, though pressure is mounting to prove Reardon's value as an informer. Reardon tips Mary off that one of her wire-room operators is actually a mole working for the Chinese Triads, hoping in return Mary can help him in his custody battle with his ex-wife Francine. But with a mole in her wire room, the future of Mary's whole unit is now in jeopardy. And it doesn't help either Mary or Reardon when Bill suddenly turns up dead. Mary's Deputy-Director, Ted Altman, is pleased, wanting to undermine Mary as much as possible. Reardon denies involvement, but his own suspicions point to his impulsive brother, Michael.
A Champagne Payday
Michael is behind the hit on Bill, but can't afford to pay for it, so he accepts a dope run with the bikers for cash. Ted, hoping to dig up dirt on Bill's murder, puts surveillance on Michael. Mary, in order to placate superiors about Reardon, offers to get an undercover operator inside Reardon's operation. She recruits Tina, a stripper, who gets a job inside Reardon's strip-club, "The Chickadee." Meanwhile, Mary's wire room finds out about an arms shipment to Africa that is tied to a local broker, Bingham. Reardon finds out about Michael's debt for the hit, and pays it off to smooth things over. Mary uses Reardon's connection to Bingham to scare him into thinking the police know about his shipment. Mary's wire room picks up more info as a panicked Bingham calls his connections. Michael finds out about the surveillance on him and is able to evade it.
Don't Break Your Brother's Heart
Mary recruits an outsider in order to get surveillance on her wire-room mole, Lee. If she can't turn Lee, she'll have to burn her unit to the ground and start from scratch. In the meantime Mary keeps expanding her overall intel network by recruiting a well know money launderer, Singh. If he wants to stay out of jail, he has to become an informer. Reardon's own money laundering operation is getting closer; an ATM scam to wash the tonnes of cash he is sitting on. He's also taking on new clients, supplying marijuana to a Vietnamese gang. Ted's ally in CSIS, the director Mary is being groomed to replace, is Roger Deakins. Deakins wants to do whatever it takes to keep Mary out of his job, and he and Ted agree to contact an American counterpart in the DEA about a US operation to entrap Reardon. An unknown hit man also tries to take Reardon out, but he is stopped at the last minute by an alert Michael.
Jimmy's Got a Money Machine
Reardon has his ATMs ready to start laundering cash. Now that Michael is a hero for stopping the hitman, he's put in charge of security for the cash runs. Tina, the stripper-informer, is getting cozy with Reardon's banker, Hogarty. Mary's freelancer, Forrest, has begun surveillance on the mole, Lee. Lee has a girlfriend who is talking about getting her brother to kill Lee's wife. Ted tells Deakins the DEA are on board for a reverse sting to bring Reardon down. Deakins doesn't have time for a lengthy sting, he needs dirt on Mary now. Ted looks into setting up a wire in Mary's apartment. Mary learns the brother of Lee's girlfriend is a leader in the local Hong-Kong backed gang, the Red Eagles. Bingham approaches Reardon and asks if his shipping connections can help with a gun-shipment. Reardon passes the info on to Mary in exchange for information on his would-be assassin.
Where There's One There's Another

Ted meets with his DEA contact, Williams, and agrees to hand over all his intelligence files on Reardon -- but only if he gets to meet Williams' undercover operator.

Reardon meets with his Vietnamese contact, Phan, who promises to take care of his disgruntled former supplier. The sting on Lee goes off and Mary interrogates him. He agrees to turn on the Red Eagles and work for her. Stella sneaks away from home and shows up at the strip club looking for Reardon.
