Episode 1
Victor pursues a vicious pimp, Le Copain, through the Montreal underworld. Someone, probably Le Copain, beats crusading priest Father Laplante into a coma. But the cops investigating, Officers Drake and Leduc, suspect Victor because of his record. As Victor deals with Christina, from whom he's just moved out, and a group of Western and Quebec hog farmers protesting subsidies who just won't go away, he realizes he needs a picture of the pimp. But when Christina poses as a hooker to set up Le Copain for a photo, Marrone says the "pimp" Le Copain is a cop.
Episode 2
Victor discovers the cops White and Leduc meeting with Le Copain. It could be undercover...as long as Le Copain's really a cop.

He also finds that a colleague, Alex Noble, took a bribe to suppress a story about a popular rock star's drug addiction.

In a shootout at the church, the dirty cops set up and kill Le Copain, becoming "heroes" who save the priest and Victor.
