There was no great twist (though the reason was clearer in the book) -- he was looking at a "three strikes" kind of thing, so he flipped. And the fact that Monty screamed "why?" at him in Uncle Nikolai's office, and all the Goose could say was "I had no choice" made it that much more realistic.
Drug dealers tagged by the feds flip like a pancake nine times out of ten not because they have some secret grudge against the flipee, but becuase the sentancing guidelines are so strict that whether you die in prison at age 87 with most of your time un-served is almost entirely up to the prosecutorial charging decision. Be nice, and we'll charge you with possession of less than a kilo. No? Gosh, maybe it's trafficking 100+ kilos in a school zone.
