The Force 80%

Danny wears a wire to July 4th party with his team.  Russo and Monty, experienced cops, sense he's flipped on them.  "Get in the pool!" they shout, and he ends up fleeing the party.  They meet later at Morningside Park.  Monty is thinking about killing Danny (who can't deny he's a rat, but won't confirm it either.)  Then Danny's phone rings. A guy from Internal Affairs.  On speaker, with Russo and Monty listening, the IAB guy identifies Levin as the rat. 

Danny reprieved, for a moment, but Monty is not convinced.

(Danny turns when the Feds tell him that they can jail his wife as well because she won't be able to explain her spending, the size of her bank accounts, etc.  Tax evasion charges at the minimum.)

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
