All language subtitles for The Border s02e10 Double Dating

Previously on The Border. I saw you
throw away ten grand of government money

one coked -up bourbon soap weekend.

Why did you join Gambler's Anonymous?

You broke my heart.

Who's this guy?

An environmental consultant.

Very hot environmental consultant.

The guy in the photo goes by Jimmy
Kosick, an ex -Russian sleeper agent

activated in 01.

Nina?

No. But it looks like Jimmy J. James is
a free agent now. Why didn't you call

me? You didn't pick up.

Believe me, Leila, I didn't want to be
right on this one.

I let a guy hold my rope.

I want to make sure he doesn't hang me
with it. Look, Leila, it's complicated.

Asha, I trust you.

Yeah!

An inspection agent found him in a
refrigerated container. The truck came

Toronto. So who is he? Some poor illegal
who picked the wrong hiding place? No,

he's been badly beaten. Doctor said
actually being half frozen probably kept

alive. Slowed the internal bleeding.

Got an ID?

We ran his prints.

Nikolai Yakushkin. Ex -KGB.

FBI sources say he's now working for
this man, Kirill Zubov, a major dealer

three of Russia's most lucrative
exports.

Arms, drugs, and women.

Right. Whichever one the Russian mob is
running across our border, I want it

stopped.

This guy was really worked over.
Something like a baseball bat.

Is he conscious?

In and out.

We'd like to talk to him.

Not yet.

Still touch and go.

Just a couple of questions.

One question.

Better make it a good one.

Nikolai, I'm DHS agent Liz Carver.

Who did this to you?

Jimmy Cossack?

Jimmy Cossack.

Nurse, we need you out of here now. Now,
go, go.

So did you know Cossack was in Toronto?

No, I haven't seen him since Calgary.

Heard from him?

No.

Email, postcards, flowers?

They said no.

Doctors couldn't save him. Yakushkin's
dead.

So question one is, who is Jimmy
Cossack?

He's a corporate spy.

Ex -Russian sleeper. We ran into him on
an oil tech case in Calgary.

Very slick. A rat, but I don't see him
as a killer.

I got a deathbed testimony.

You saw the shape Yakushkin was in. I
mean, who knows what he was trying to

He seemed pretty obvious.

Any idea where he is?

No.

Yakushkin's personal effect.

Thanks, Carl.

French driver's license.

British credit cards.

All under the name of a Leo Chatzky.
None of us checked out, which is why we

were on the prints.

We got a French and British label.

Oh, wait a minute.

Got a knife?

I tried to get on a plane with it last
week.

Hello.

Guess diamonds aren't a guy's best
friend.

Nikolai Yakushkin.

Customs at Pearson has him arriving
three weeks ago using the name Liatsky.

came off a flight from Moscow and
London. No other trace?

Not until he shows up at the snow cone
on the other side of the river. What

about Jimmy Kozik?

Arrived Montreal Trudeau four days ago
using his real name. That's refreshing.

That's almost disarming. His route was
Moscow, London, Montreal.

What's he using for an address in
Canada? Hotel Gaston. He stayed one

on the passenger list of any Toronto
flights? Not yet.

Check Toronto hotels.

Moose, inform Montreal and Toronto
police that we want Kozik for

a homicide.

Right.

Last time we dealt with Mr. Kozik, he's
working for the Chinese to see if they

know his whereabouts.

Not likely they'll want to share intel.

Remind Guamboo in the past year we've
handed over a major fugitive and stolen

technology. They'll want to know what
we're doing for them next year. Try.

We need to find a diamond expert.

Okay, so the guy takes a beating in
Canada, dies in the United States, and

custody of The Rock.

Looks like we're in this together.

Let me file a prelim on Wide North.

Maybe you should take a pass on this
one. Not a chance. I can't wait to see

look on Jimmy's face when I bring him
down.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Now
it's going to get personal with you.

Really? Like you and Agent Carver?

Nothing happened with me and Liz.

Agent. Curver.

Nothing. That is an oversell on the
denial.

Hey, we're two people working together,
that's it. Careful, your nose is

growing. You all set?

Yeah, sure, let's go.

Diamonds are virtually anonymous.

It's almost impossible to tell where
they come from.

Unless you have a certificate of
registration.

No. After the outcry against Blood
Diamonds... Many countries established

registries so that people will know
their diamonds came from legitimate

But if the paperwork gets lost or
separated from the stone, there's no way

trace its origin.

In most cases, that's true.

Don't some Canadian mines mark their
diamonds?

Yes, they laser them with a microscopic
trademark on the girdle of each stone.

Like maple leaf, polar bear, or in this
case, the trademark of the GSL mine

in the Northwest Territories.

but they prove thousands of stones.

There's no way to identify this specific
one.

Untraceable, easily concealed, doesn't
lose its value.

That's why it's the preferred currency
of organized crime.

Hotels, planes, Montreal and Toronto,
nada on Jimmy Kosick.

Nothing back from the cops.

Chinese aren't talking either.

He's out there somewhere, stay on it.

Maybe you and I should grab a bite,
figure out our next move.

Yeah, sure.

Really? Yeah, you can tell me what's
going on between Layla and Jimmy Kosick.

I mean, nothing's going on.

All right.

See you tomorrow.

Got something?

Not really.

Well, we're nowhere, so I'll listen to
all the not reallys.

Jimmy gave me his card in Calgary.

Environmental consultant.

You kept his card?

It's no big deal.

I also kept the soap and shampoo from
the hotel.

All right, well, go ahead. Let's give
him a call. Oh, it was just a friend for

the Calgary job. It's probably a dead
end.

Hey, what have we got to lose?

Voicemail. No, no, no.

Leave a message.

Make it good.

Hey, Jimmy, it's Layla.

So if you ever do get to Toronto, call
me, and maybe we can go out for dinner.

And you can apologize for screwing me
over.

647 -555 -0149. Bye.

That was a little too much edge.

You have me performance anxiety.

What's that?

Oh, yeah, like you wouldn't know
anything about that.

Guess what? I'm going to be staying with
you for a couple of days. What happened

to this new apartment you have? They're
going to paint the place. Nobody told

me. I can't take the fumes, okay?

You're trying to duck somewhere, aren't
you?

You know, you're starting to develop a
real suspicious streak in your nature. I

don't know if I like that.

But don't make me go to a hotel.

I just need a couple of days.

All right, well, look, crash on the
couch.

On a couch? Yeah.

Ever since I got rolled in the alley, my
back is really... It's the couch or the

floor. Take your pick.

Holy son, he won't even give up his bed
for his crippled old man. Jesus.

Sergeant Harani.

Hey, it's me.

Your call made my day.

How are you, Jimmy?

I'm very glad you called.

I'm not sure why I did.

It's mind control.

You couldn't help yourself. Invisible
thought wave.

Are you in town?

I will be if it means dinner tomorrow
night.

Uh, okay.

Um, where will you be staying?

I don't know yet. I'll phone when I get
in.

You can pick the restaurant, okay? Since
I'm the one apologizing. All right.

Bring your knee pads.

Sounds like fun.

Hey, sorry, kid.

Wake you up?

You're out of luck there, you know.

What?

I keep my spare cash in a sock under the
mattress.

No, no, that ain't it. I'm just looking
for a light.

Sure.

Okay, I want to be straight up with you.
Can I be straight up with you?

Yo, I changed decades of habitual
behavior.

Hey, this isn't exactly easy. You know
what, Dad? I've got to go back to sleep,

so... How much?

Five. Five hundred.

Hard. Five grand.

The guy's pressing. He's going to turn
it over to a collector. You know what

that means.

So what happened to this wad you were
flashing around? Would you blow that?

I had some solid information on a horse
that run like a pig, and then I tried

ketchup on the leaves. I'm an idiot.

So you think I got five grand lying
around?

I don't know. What can you manage?

I just got out from under myself, you
know. My credit rating's not exactly

triple A. What are you telling me?
You're a player?

I didn't know that. Yeah, well, like
father, like son, huh? You gonna blame

for that, too? Look, I stopped, all
right?

They got meetings.

It's something you should try.

Oh, thank you.

But I can hardly do that. I still owe
the guy. I can't unring that bell.

I gotta have a face -to -face with the
guy pronto.

I'm trying to think of a single reason
why I should help you.

Good morning.

I suddenly had the urge to call and say
goodnight.

I see you're a lot further away than
England.

Further and darker.

God, don't you find this life a bit
lonely sometimes?

What are we playing at, Charlotte?

Is that what we're doing?

Playing? Weeks of silence and then a
flurry of provocative phone calls. I

you I get lonely.

Charlotte. Just bid me goodnight,
Michael.

Please.

Goodnight, Charlotte.

Dad?

You have a good time last night.

Fantastic.

Don't you have class today?

This is what we have on Kiro Zubov.

Frosty, the Russian snowman's boss?

That's right.

In the 90s, Zubov sold plane loads of
military hardware to the rebels in

Leone, the Congo, and Angola.

Well, after the Soviet Union broke up,
every second general was doing that. I

was going to pick up a T -4 tank, but I
couldn't get a parking permit.

Right, so Zubov most likely took payment
in diamonds.

Really?

Yakushkin's diamond was from a Canadian
mine.

What's the connection?

Don't know yet.

Inspector Williams, you were in Africa,
right?

Yes. Did you ever hear of an arms dealer
named Zubov?

He supplied arms to the rebels in Sierra
Leone.

After six years of war, when the
president asked his people to join hands

peace, The rebels hacked off hands and
arms, lips, ears.

20 ,000 mutilated, at least 50 ,000
killed.

Oh, jeez. Sir Sierra Leone blood
diamonds? This is what you get.

Everybody made money.

Politicians, smugglers, arms dealers,
diamond merchants.

Everyone except the miners slaving away
in the muck of the Sewad River.

Jimmy Kozik has agreed to meet Sergeant
Irani.

How'd you manage that?

He thinks we're two friendly adversaries
checking in with each other.

So he just wants to pump you for
information.

Yeah, something like that.

Create a takedown scenario for me to
review.

Make sure it's tight.

If he figures it's a trap.

You could end up like Yakushkin.

Hey, Moose.

I got Sergeant Wheeler on the line from
the Illinois Fire CMP.

Oh, Sergeant, look at you. Got all high
-tech in the North, have you? Oh, yeah.

I got to put on lipstick now every time
I make a phone call.

Have you checked our diamond with the
GSM line?

No luck. It could be any one of a
hundred.

Once the stones in the wholesale market,
no telling how it could have got to

your man.

So, no recent theft, suspicious
activity?

No theft.

A couple weeks ago, a cutter polisher
took a sudden leave of absence.

Said she had to go down to Toronto to
take care of her brother. Oh, yeah? What

do you have on her?

Tamara Hardesty.

Good record with the company. But the
brother, him, we know.

He's got a sheep?

Patrick Hardesty.

Teenage glue sniffer. Moved on to
different kinds of substance abuse.

We've... Pulled him in for disorderly
conduct, possession.

But a fifter always bails him out.

Do you think that's why she came to
Toronto?

Oh, I can imagine all sorts of ways
Patrick could get himself into trouble

there. Yeah, we're a regular sin city
down here. That's what I've heard.

Even wilder than Edmonton. That's us.

Okay, I'll send you what I got on the
Hardesty's. Thank you. Thanks.

This is from the Yellowknife TV station.

Camaro Hardesty.

GSL promised to train local people.

in all aspects of the diamond industry.

I'm training to be a cutter and
polisher.

They've brought in top craftsmen from
Europe to teach us.

It's really a great opportunity.

Continuing with the Hardesty Family Film
Festival, RCMP interrogation video.

What were you doing behind the
drugstore, Patrick?

I had to take a piss.

It was 3 a .m. You weren't trying to get
into the store?

No. So the screwdriver we... jammed in
the door lock wasn't yours.

No. Oh, yeah, I'm buying this.

Check with Metro. See if they've
encountered Mr. Hardesty.

Yeah.

Forget diamonds.

Families are forever.

How soon could I draw the money?

Okay, good.

Thanks.

I was at a credit union. I was thinking
of putting a down payment on a condo.

Oh, Gray Jackson settling down.

Cue the four horsemen.

Oh, you know.

Any thoughts about decor?

Maybe American modern so Liz will feel
more at home? Will you let that go?

Well, I get the feeling she knows about
Jimmy and me, and I was wondering if you

talked in your sleep.

No, I haven't said anything to anyone,
and I don't plan to, all right?

Wait.

Wait.

Dinner all set?

Yeah, I made reservations at Lislec for
seven.

Want me to pick you up?

No, don't worry about me. I'll meet you
there.

Okay, it's on Wellington, just west of
Spadina.

I'll find it.

So, uh, how far did you have to go to
make this date?

Well, for you, I'd go around the world.

I'll see you at seven.

Oh!

Exactly one second too short. I was
like, he's toying with me. He probably

Maybe you should have talked dirty.

You know, get that little brain doing
the thinking.

No, it's not little.

No.

Dad, we went through this before, right?

Yeah. No, I got the money, all right,
but there's conditions. I want to give

to the bookie personally.

I want to make sure he gets it.

Hey, look, Dad, you don't like this? Tap
some other sucker, all right?

I got a surprise for you.

Am I going to like it?

I'm going to take you someplace you've
never been before.

I made reservations.

Just humor me, okay? I want this to be
very special.

Okay, pick me up at Le Select.

No, meet me.

Northeast corner of Young and Queen.

20 minutes.

Boy, you had better deliver the goods.

Depend on it.

is blown.

Cossack changed the venue. Is he on to
us? I don't know. Where's Layla? Is she

exposed? Cossack wants her to pick him
up at Queen and Young. There's the

intersection, crowds, streetcars, no way
to control the scene. He's on to us.

What now?

God, look at you. You look terrific.

Where are we going?

Keep heading west. I'll tell you when to
turn, all right?

Is this a dinner date or a kidnap?

You could use a little mystery in your
life, couldn't you?

My God, I missed you.

What are you up to?

Are you on the run to me?

What?

Hey, don't turn here.

Why are you turning? I told you to go
straight. I'll tell you when to turn.

What the hell are you doing? Hey!

Ride's over, Chief. Don't move.

I see it!

Boom, boom!

How you doing, Jimmy?

What's going on, Layla?

You tell me.

a prime suspect, Mr. Kostic, in a murder
investigation.

What time did you ask you on a homicide
case?

Congratulations. You managed to kill
this guy on both sides of the border.

Do you recognize this man?

What happened to him? In this dance, we
lead.

Answer the question.

His name's Nikolai Yakushkin. His
friends call him the Yak.

What happened?

His dying words named you as his killer.

It's impossible.

If he said my name, he was saying I
could help. Help how?

Money. Get him out of trouble. I don't
know. Find his killers.

Can you step out?

You want a coat?

I'm fine.

Thought you might be interested in that.

Cause of the case.

This ties you even tighter to
Yakushkin's murder.

Okay.

Look, I'll tell you what I know.

If we work on this together... You're
still confused.

Cops, bad guy.

Okay.

Have your people contact Interpol
headquarters in Lyon.

Tell them to ask for Monsieur Verloc.

I assume you've connected the Yak to
Kirill Zubov.

Bonjour, Monsieur Verloc.

Yes.

Zuboff had a fortune in African
diamonds.

Then Global Witness and Amnesty started
telling the world how blood diamonds

finance war and wholesale mutilation.

And all of a sudden, poor Mr. Zuboff
can't move his stones.

Isn't there always someone who'll buy
diamonds? Yeah, but not for full value.

These are quality gems.

Bet they'll buy nice, clean Canadian
diamonds.

So Zubov decides to launder his blood
diamonds and pass them off as Canadian.

Exactly.

See, the Yak and I smuggled the African
diamonds from Russia into Canada.

Somebody lays the Canadian logo onto
them, then we smuggle them into New York

and sell them.

In your scenario, how does the Yak end
up dead?

He did the first run into Canada.

Probably skimmed a few diamonds off the
top.

I guess they wanted him back.

We have some information.

So Interpol confirms that Jimmy's
working undercover for the Russian

Diamond Association.

Russia's biggest diamond consortium. Did
you double check his credentials?

Boxed his photo in Prince.

So he's legit.

Yeah.

Russia's the second largest producer of
diamonds in the world.

They don't like the idea of Zuboff
flooding the market with tainted

If they can't control the supply, they
can't control the prices.

I try not to judge.

Why didn't Russian Unified go to the
police?

Police where? In what country?

My client wants a detailed map of
Zuboff's network.

Who's counterfeiting the stones, who's
buying them. You used your kushkin to

in with Zuboff. Yeah, we'd done some
business in the past, so... What have

found out?

I'm just waiting to hear from the
Canadian end, as far as I got.

Well, from here on, Mr. Kosick, wherever
you go, we go.

I knew he wasn't a killer.

I don't believe you.

I just thought he wasn't a murderer.

Hello again.

You're probably getting ready for bed
after a hard day.

Let me picture that.

Yeah. You're not a pajamas man, I hope.

Hi.

Is that a gun?

Gotta go.

Why didn't you tell me you were going to
set this up tomorrow?

It is tomorrow.

Sammy doesn't exactly keep the civil
servants hours.

Okay, here he comes.

This is him.

All right, after this, I'm telling you
you're cut off. Yeah, no more bailouts.

Skip the sermon. Skip the guy that told
me to get out of here. I'll go. This is

not Sammy. It's his guys.

What?

The wave.

Yeah, I got it.

Tell your boss don't take any more bets
from this man, all right?

Let's go.

What's this?

Just keep walking.

What do you mean? What's that? It's $5
,000.

That's not enough.

It's the fake.

This is just your goodwill here, okay?

You're good with that, right?

How much does he owe you guys?

80 grand.

Guys are making a big mistake here, huh?
No, this guy made a mistake.

He doesn't pay up by tomorrow.

That will be an even bigger mistake.

No.

Hey, all right.

Jesus.

You were late last night.

Got in just before your friend left.

Really, right?

Maybe we need to agree on some house
rules.

Yeah.

Good.

How about if you bring someone home, you
leave a tie on your bedroom doorknob?

I'll use a scarf.

Eighty grand?

I know. How the hell did you get into
Sammy for 80 grand? I was up 25.

I was on a hot streak and then it all
just went wrong.

I don't know. That's sickness. You know
that, huh? You're sick.

Here's something I want to ask you.
Don't you guys do that witness

program? Couldn't you get me in
something like that? Send me out west,

some money? You've got to be kidding me.
You've got nothing the crown wants. You

know what else?

I'm not going to spend the rest of my
life being your bodyguard.

That's a relief after the piss -poor job
you did on that last night. I'm glad to

hear it.

Are we turning the Yakushkin homicide
over to Metro?

Not yet.

Canada is the third largest diamond
producer in the world.

The last thing the industry needs is to
have our diamonds compromised.

America is the largest market.

Nobody wants to celebrate their love
with a blood diamond from some Russian

mobster. So we watch Kozik until he
makes contact.

And we watch him very closely.

He does not inspire trust.

I second that emotion.

So this Patrick Hartsey, the doper
brother of the diamond cutter, he was

up in a bar fight, assault, and assault
police.

He got six months suspended sentence if
he went to treatment.

Did he go for it? Yeah, records indicate
he's currently up at Elmvale.

Elmvale? Yeah, kind of uphill for a kid
from the tundra.

My sister.

Tamara, she's in Yellowknife.

How do you know that?

Well, she calls me every Sunday to see
how I'm doing.

From Yellowknife?

Yeah.

I tell her she shouldn't be spending all
her money keeping me in a place like

this.

She says she doesn't worry about getting
myself better.

What brought you down to Toronto?

A guy said he had a job for me.

What guy?

I don't know. A friend of a guy I knew.

You remember his name?

No.

No job when I got here.

He had some good shit, though.

Next thing I know, I'm in the can.

I called my sister.

How you doing?

Getting better?

I'm trying.

Eric.

What was that? The guy with no job.

His name was Eric.

I'm like Erica.

Igor.

Russian.

Cutters gotta know how to lay through
the trademark on the GSL diamonds, and

sister has a weak spot. They frame the
brother into a sucker to play. She fakes

the diamonds, they give her money for
Patrick's rehab. So she's here in

counterfeiting diamonds.

Is she willing or has she been coerced?
I guess we'll know that when we find

her.

The meeting's going down, but we can't
hear a thing.

He picked this spot because of the
traffic noise.

We've got Cossack wired.

If I had any more filters running, I'd
be a Brita.

As much as it pains me to admit it,
technology has its limits.

He could be playing his part. Or he
could be warning them off.

He's handing over the briefcase.

Take them down. Now, let's go.

All units, move in. Detain all subjects.
Go. Go.

I see hands on your head.

All right, get down. Get down.

Give me the bag.

No, they said they'd contact me to take
a shipment south in a couple of days.

They didn't give you any clue as to
where they were counterfeiting the

No. And now we don't know who their
buyer is in New York either. Why the

didn't you just let it play out? We've
got them in custody.

We can interrogate them to get their
contacts.

No, you can't. They're professionals.
They're not going to tell you anything.

Even if you speak very sharply to them.

We're screwed.

Keep in touch.

Maintain surveillance on Cossack?

Absolutely.

Sullivan said one da or nyet.

Anything on the Hardesty woman?

Nothing.

Yeah, she looks nice.

Hope nothing bad's happened to her.
Probably too much to hope for if she

with those two.

Well, good night.

Good night.

You think I will talk to you?

I will tell you nothing.

I'm not asking you to talk.

Got everything?

Eric, Jack was my friend.

He was stiff.

I want to send your boss a message.

to show them that it's unwise to kill my
friend.

And you, Ed, you're going to be the
message.

In two containers.

What's this about Jimmy Kosick slipping
surveillance last night?

He claimed he went for a walk.

He's back in the hotel this morning. We
tightened up.

Good.

Edek decided to talk earlier this
morning.

What prompted that?

You know these Russians? Moody?

Temperamental?

Sudden change of heart.

You could say. Gave me the contact
information for New York and the

their Toronto operation.

It's hard to see?

It's hard to see.

I'm with the police.

You're all right. You're okay.

Thank you.

You're safe.

You're okay.

Come on. Let's sit down.

Oh, hey.

Guess what? I was talking to Sammy.

He says, can I have a meeting with you?

Yeah. Tell him I want to have another
meeting with his goons.

Okay, tough guy.

Look, Sammy thinks we can work something
out here.

We? Look, just take the meeting. It's
going to be the last thing I'll ever ask

you to do. And if you don't like what he
has to say... You know what? I already

don't like it. Good, then that's that.

And I'll find a way to disappear.

You're always working me, huh?

Just asking.

We've got the new year contact.

Zubov will be there too.

And we have plenty of counterfeit stones
from the Toronto operation to bait the

trap. I still need me to get you through
the door. No guarantees. Your cover

hasn't been blown by now.

I won't know until we try, right?

There'll be an agent with you at all
times.

Okay.

Sergeant Randy might do.

What do we got in the guy who's buying?

Alan Klein, 47th Street dealer,
wholesaler mostly.

Pretty successful from the looks of the
neighborhood.

It's a good package.

My compliments.

With any luck, this will be over in
about an hour.

What are we going to do after that?

Debrief? Get back on the plane?

Yeah.

You know, the Pierre is more legroom.

Better food, too, I hear.

Even at a time like this? What?

You're incredible.

It's taking so long.

Relax. He's buying serious diamonds.

He has to kick the tires.

Yes, what if Zubov's on to cost me?
Layla's in there with no comlink, no

She's a pro. She knows what she's doing.

Yeah, you saw what they did to your
cushion.

You're angsting like... Like what?

Like a guy who's really worried about a
woman he cares about.

Yeah, she's my partner. Of course I care
about her.

But are you jealous?

Please.

If it were you in there, I'd be jumping
out of my skin.

What, you got no snappy comeback?

Is that about Yakushkin, huh?

What happened to him?

He was disloyal, tried to operate on his
own. For success, we must all work

together, like brothers.

Sure.

Very nice.

A special girl?

No, not really.

That's something I learned, you know,
for smuggling, the more body cavities,

better, right?

I could give her something special.

Would you be willing to share, Brother
Koshik?

Sure. Come here.

Come here.

Excellent, excellent. Well, we're almost
done here. Why don't you go into the

city and have a good time?

Okay.

Look, I'm going to go.

You're with him now.

Wait a minute. Oh, come along.

Let's have some fun, huh?

Don't touch me.

Hey, you're going to do that. Take it
upstairs.

What's the matter with you?

Try hitting me, brother.

Huh?

Try hitting me.

Heads up.

Get down on the ground now.

Do it. Get down.

Jimmy died before he hit the ground, but
Lila wouldn't leave him.

I guess she really cared about the guy.

Yeah.

I'm done here.

Hey, after we're through the paperwork,
the Bureau boys are going to this

Italian place in the Bronx.

You in?

No, I can't.

I understand.

Lila? No, no, I gotta go back to
Toronto.

See a guy about a thing.

guys missed one.
