Episode list

Wolfgang has just returned to Vancouver after a stint in Hong Kong, where he covertly passed along some information to one of his operatives, and learned that there may be a regime change in the Red Mountain triad. The whereabouts of the current head, General Wu, is unknown, Wolfgang believing that he has long been hiding in Vancouver. Wolfgang passes some of this information in a debrief to Al, who in turn tells Wolfgang of a new person of interest, a Mexican prosecutor who is seeking sanctuary at a local church. They do not know why he is a person of interest. They are also unaware that a young woman named Eva, who is court mandated doing community service at the church, could play an importation part of what happens in this file. Without her knowledge of the reason, Wolfgang gets Kelly to help him in this matter, she who is desperate for any research that she could add to her list of publications, which have been few and far between of late. In their discussion, Al doesn't divulge some information to Wolfgang, who Al's superiors are concerned about being too uncontrolled and unsupervised in his work. One of Wolfgang's local Romeos, Rufus, is struggling under the strain of the work. His mark, Dee, is falling in love with him and is thinking about leaving her husband Vince, who is the reason Rufus started seeing her. Wolfgang asks Rufus to see the current issue through, namely to go along in name only with a request by Dee in response to a request Vince makes to Rufus. Through all these problems, Wolfgang meets a new associate at the university, Lily Song, who may take his mind off of his covert work.

Wolfgang may have found a new recruit, while an agent has been arrested overseas and Dee gives Rufus a gift.

Wolfgang is peeved at Al for not protecting him against their highers-up, as Al tells him it is ill advised not to attend an "interview" with one of those highers-up, probably about what Wolfgang knows about the Gascoynes and if he did indeed meet with Martha on his recent trip to Hong Kong. That meeting in Hong Kong is something that Wolfgang has vehemently denied up to this point, that denial which may be increasingly difficult to maintain as a story. Wolfgang provides Eva with greater direction on her surveillance at the church, that direction which may be increasingly more dangerous, especially if Eva's assertion that the "organ lady" being suspicious is indeed fact. In the process, Eva and Miguel to begin to form a bond. Conversely, Wolfgang comes down on Rufus for not providing enough information. Something that Rufus has not divulged to Wolfgang is the dead body, which is more difficult to dispose of than he would like. On this file, Dee steps up her actions in ensuring that she takes over the business, while General Wu sets up a meeting between Wing Lei and Vince in that transfer of power. Through these goings-on, Wolfgang and Lily become closer.

Wolfgang tries to find out more about the whereabouts of General Wu from a wannabe big time player, who may face negative consequences if he can't deliver for Wolfgang. Wolfgang places more pressure of Eva for information on Miguel as they have to make a decision quickly if he is worth their time and effort. He also confides in Helen that his association with Lily is not just personal. Helen reminds him of Martha Gascoyne's current tenuous situation, and warns him that Lily may not have come into his life as accidentally as he may believe. A shipment is coming into port which in Wing Lei and Vince's new partnership Rufus plays a key role in ensuring that they have a port worker in their back pocket just in case. But there may be some other unforeseen issues. Rufus also asks Wolfgang for advice on how he and Vince should deal with the increasingly problematic issue of Dee. Rufus has to be careful for his own safety if the plan does does come off accordingly with Wolfgang unable to help him if the law comes into play. And General Wu makes a surprise decision which doesn't sit well with Wing Lei.

Getting him out of detention, Wolfgang places Tony Zhao on a short leash in trying to find out more information on the goings-on of the Red Mountain triad locally. In spending more time with Lily, Wolfgang learns more about the benefits of her becoming one of his assets, but may also discover in the process that Helen's assertion is correct in that Lily did not enter his life accidentally. Wolfgang also pressures Eva into setting up a meeting with Miguel. This places Eva in a difficult spot as she is torn between her paid duties to Wolfgang and her feelings for what is best for Miguel. Miguel learns from Ortelli the status of his sanctuary request with the church. Al learns just how important Miguel is to some in a deal offered to him. Dee has settled uncomfortably into rehab, where she tries to get a message to the outside world despite being denied telephone privileges for the first week. With Dee in rehab, Rufus is feeling the weight of the world lifted from his shoulders if only temporarily. He can now focus on the issue at hand, namely that the container at the docks with the latest shipment is being monitored by unknown sources. Wing Lei issues an ultimatum in that they get the container or else their partnership is off, against Vince's advice that they may be better off taking their losses on this shipment by just abandoning it. Rufus' involvement and his life may be threatened as Vince gets closer to finding out about his extracurricular activities with Dee.

Because of the attempt on his life which he believes was orchestrated by the Mexican drug cartel, Miguel is on the run with Eva, he who also believes he will not make it out of this situation in Canada alive. He is now willing to speak to Wolfgang, which Eva is able to arrange. Where to meet where they will be safe becomes an issue, especially after Wolfgang learns that Al has made a deal with Foy to trade the Gascoynes for Miguel. Through this situation, Eva's role become less important. While Miguel and Wolfgang may want to see Eva leave if only for her own safety, she may have thoughts of her own on the matter. Rufus feels more and more like he is being pushed in directions he doesn't want, and never signed up for when he agreed to work for Wolfgang. With dissent within the ranks, those rank and file want him to take out and replace Vince. And he always gets the feeling that Wing Lei has a more dangerous side he has not yet seen, that dangerous side which could mean his life. Rufus comes to conclusions about how he will handle these situations, until Wolfgang, upon being debriefed by Rufus, discovers some information which could be a game changer for what is best for Rufus and for his usefulness as a Romeo. Wolfgang and Lily's relationship is going strong on the surface, while Lily begins to delve deeper into Wolfgang's life, which is affected by a letter she receives, and Wolfgang knows that he is being "watched". And General Wu learns that he will probably be sent to a palliative care hospital in the city, the news which he sees more as an opportunity.

With Wolfgang and Rufus' belief that Vince is working as an informer for the DEA, they each have their own thoughts of how best to proceed for their own interest. On Rufus' side, his plan includes both Wing Lei and Dee, the latter who may be truly clean and ready to leave rehab. Wolfgang and Lily continue to play each other. One of the two may have the upper hand in their manoeuvrings. Miguel and Dee continue to hole up in Wolfgang's cabin hideout while they await word from Wolfgang on when to proceed on whatever the next step. In the meantime, Wolfgang has a chat with Fred to discuss what the swap of Miguel for the Gascoynes actually means in a practical sense, Wolfgang who is concerned for Miguel's safety once he's out of his hands. And General Wu has been transferred to the hospital, where he slowly puts together the pieces of his plan.

With further confirmed information about Vince and the DEA, Wolfgang and Rufus continue to disagree about if Rufus should abandon the mission to get the drugs from the container, Rufus who believes he and his team can still get in and out before Vince has any idea what's going on. Wolfgang knows he cannot stop Rufus if he is determined to proceed, with Rufus aware that Wolfgang cannot protect him if things go south. For Rufus' plan to work, there can be no surprises, and he needs Dee's support to keep Vince occupied, which is still iffy seeing that she has just voluntarily concluded her stint in rehab. Meanwhile, Foy has Eva hostage, she who he is willing to exchange for a still missing Miguel. If Wolfgang is able to locate Miguel who still trusts him, he has to decide how to proceed if he has to give up one of Miguel or Eva. And Lily visits her father for the first time in a long time.

Now that Rufus and his gang have managed to get the drugs out of the container, the maneuvering of the players involved ratchets up a notch. Vince, who knows he's between a rock and a hard place, has to figure out how best to deal with Rufus and Wing Lei on one side and the DEA on the other. In Rufus being able to pull off this task, he feels abandoned by Wolfgang, who can't offer him protection, and as such Rufus contemplates breaking ties with him. Dee has her own thoughts about what to do. A surprise visit from a person from her recent past may complicate matters. Lily decides on the surface to follow Wolfgang's advice to meet with "underground" officials. As Lily continues to play Wolfgang, he in turn gets Helen's advice on Lily's usefulness. Fred continues to hold Eva hostage, trying to convince her to work for him which would give her access to Miguel. Miguel, still in contact with Wolfgang, may now have reason to come in to talk to Fred. General Wu continues his plans to escape, while Tony provides some intel to Wolfgang on where General Wu is hiding. And Al continues to try and find out from reliable sources what Wolfgang is truly up to.

With Vince's murder, Rufus and Wing Lei plot their next move in shipping the drugs across the border. They require Dee's help, she who may have her own ideas of how best to protect herself in light of the murder. Rufus may also be unaware that Rick Frost's murder may come back to haunt him, even if he had nothing to do with it besides dispose of the body which was planted on him. As Lily knows that Wolfgang knows about her, and as Wolfgang knows that Lily knows about him, they have to decide if they will come totally clean and above board with each other. Wolfgang may burn some bridges in the process. General Wu manages to get his hands in all the above. Wolfgang also wants to meet with a released Martha Gascoyne, which may be more difficult than he would like. And Miguel agrees to a a trade of him for Eva, only on the condition that he have a chance to talk to her before they part ways.
