| Part 1 The episode introduces the outlaw biker group, The Triple Sixers. Characterized as one of the largest outlaw biker gangs in the world, The Triple Sixers dominate Canada. Their unrivalled presence and strength stretches from Halifax to Vancouver, with one important exception - the Sixers have no chapters in Ontario, the richest market in the country. Zip O’Connors, head of the Montreal Chapter, sees a golden opportunity in Ontario and wants to seize it. But he knows that any move to expand into this fresh territory will be met with fierce opposition from the many independent gangs already operating there. Although he is not afraid of a fight, he realizes it will be tough to win over. The man chosen to head the Toronto Chapter is critical. Zip chooses Bob Durelle, head of the Devil Riders, an already well-established Ontario gang, for the job. Bob must prove his worthiness for the role. In a well-organized hit, he kills a major Colombian druglord who is hiding out in Montreal. Only Zip and Pietro Giacalone, the Toronto godfather, know about Bob’s act. The reward is a preferred price on coke and the Toronto Chapter of the Sixers. Although Bob sees the advantages of joining The Triple Sixers, Glen O’Sullivan and Ross Desbiens, two of his longtime Devil Riders brothers, do not. O’Sullivan, the oldest of the three, sees an opportunity to retire so Bob buys his territory. Ross is neither ready to sell his territory to Bob nor join the Sixers. It seems as if the two lifelong friends are about to go their separate ways. However, instead they see an opportunity to divide and conquer. They make a secret deal: Bob will establish the Triple Sixers Chapter in Toronto, while Ross organizes all the gangs opposed to the Sixers into an informal association. Bob and Ross agree to divide territory, keep their members in line, and share the profits. Bob keeps it secret from his fellow Sixers. Bob and Ross have the perfect cover, too. They refuse to allow their wives, who are best friends, to ever see each other again. Of course the women do, thus unwittingly playing into the plan. While Bob faces the challenges of establishing his Sixers chapter in Toronto, Zip has problems with his own chapter in Montreal. All his members are opposed to the formation of the new Toronto chapter. Although Zip promises that they will be able to buy coke cheaper as a result, his biker brothers are more concerned with the fact that they themselves can no longer hope to expand their operations into Ontario. They vote Zip out as president of the Montreal chapter. Meanwhile, the police have been trying to track the various comings and goings of the various bikers. Bill Guenette is the point man, a biker expert who is frustrated by the fact that his bosses are more interested in publicity and politics than the careful work required to investigate the bikers. Meanwhile, Bob’s and Ross’ plan to divide the Toronto drug begins to crumble. Some of Ross’ partners want to resist the Sixers at all costs. A little too conveniently, Ricky Jones, the one most extremely opposed, is assassinated. Suspicion for his murder falls on Bob. Despite Bob’s denials, Ross suspects that Bob is not keeping his part of the deal. Now Ross has serious problems trying to keep his partners in line, and it is only a short time before an attempt is made on Bob’s life. |
