All language subtitles for The Border s03e09 Dying Art

I'd like to offer you a permanent
position with ICS. I want field

I have the training.

Previously, on the border. Put it down.

Oh! Whoa!

Nice!

You got your father and your partner
killed.

He's back on the job. You're going to
have to deal with him eventually.

I don't know if I can avoid it.

These things are all the same.

Well, the real work happens every
cocktail.

I'm looking into a Satan's guard case.

Richie's clean. He doesn't hang with the
guard anymore. He's even started going

to church.

He kept complaining about this sick dude
from Portland. They call him Kong.

They feed him girls to keep him happy.
Richie, you've got to get home right

Kim's worried. I'm coming home.

Richie?

The Musée des Antilles du Québec is so
pleased to be hosting this premier show

of this wonderful collection of East
Asian art.

Of course, the first person we'd like to
thank, bien sûr, la première personne

que nous voudrions remercier, ladies and
gentlemen, William Rutherford.

I also acknowledge the generous grant
from the...

Which enabled us to mount this exquisite
exhibition.

Major Kessler, Brian Mathais from the
PMO. Major.

There has been some concern about the
provenance of some of the art in the

exhibit. We've heard rumors that the
objects from Burma may have been stolen

brought to Canada illegally.

Now I know why I got an invitation to
the opening.

If the Prime Minister would like a
discreet investigation.

In confidence, William Rutherford is a
close friend of the PM and a major

contributor to the party.

If there were some public controversy
over this art, we want to be the first

know.

So you can downgrade Rutherford from
good friend to acquaintance. There has

no suggestion that Mr. Rutherford is in
any way culpable.

This is merely a precaution to ensure
that both he and the government aren't

surprised by negative publicity.

Pieces, like this little guy.

have given me a lot of pleasure.

I'm sure they'll do the same for people
across Canada.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, madames
and messieurs, there seems to be a

problem in the main entrance.

Nothing to be alarmed about.

Everyone

here is

supporting the rape of Burma and the
vicious repression of the Burmese

To protest the military who has
appalling record of human rights abuses,

the stolen Buddha on display here? Why?

The Buddha... Who's she?

Jeanette Talbot.

The monk's name is Ashinanda.

The only thing she didn't hang on those
Burmese generals was kicking dogs and

slapping children.

Actually, Burma does have a lucrative
trade in children and women.

Forced labor and sexual exploitation.

Aung San Suu Kyi, democratically elected
leader, has been under house arrest for

14 of the last 20 years.

Thousands of protesters have been
beaten, arrested, some even killed.

So it's safer to protest here.

Is the Talbot woman's claim legitimate?

Is the art stolen?

That's what we've been asked to find
out.

Do the Montreal police still have those
two in custody?

Yes. You and Callie take the next flight
to Montreal.

William Rutherford's back in Toronto.

Gray, let's find out how he got his art.

How come I don't get Montreal?

Est -ce que tu parles français?

Yeah, je m 'appelle Elikinsky.

Ah bon?

Ben, moi, puisque j 'ai grandi en
Algérie, le français est ma première

Et quand on a déménagé à Montréal...

Okay, all right. Nobody likes a
smartass.

Oh, mon pauvre.

Ah,

Sergeants Jackson and Lipinski. My
dealer, Oscar Tommaso. Gentlemen.

Oscar taught me everything I know about
art. We both share an appreciation for

the rare and beautiful.

No one knows Southeast Asia like my
friend here. He can show you the high

the low life. Now, William.

I thought we agreed.

What happens in Chiang Mai stays in
Chiang Mai.

So were you acquired the Golden Buddha?
As a matter of fact, no.

That item was purchased in Bangkok.

From whom?

Can you spell that?

A distinguished art dealer.

I can show you the bill of sale.

You have no objection?

No, go ahead.

Uh, my tie's a little rusty.

The Buddha is described late Abba
period, circa 1750, 20 centimeters high,

including base.

It's unusual in that it's not made out
of alabaster or bronze, but cast out of

24 karat gold.

Where did your distinguished art dealer
get it?

You mean, did he buy it from someone who
stole it in Burma?

The answer to that is no.

The paperwork indicates that he acquired
it from a wealthy Indian family 15

years ago. And where did they get it?

How far back are you planning to go?
Because I have it on pretty good

that the Elgin marbles in the British
Museum were lifted from Greece.

Not to mention the Egyptian obelisks in
Paris and Rome.

Or the Inuit artifacts at the
Smithsonian.

What's the Buddha worth?

I don't collect art for the dollar
value.

My mother was a flight attendant in the
70s. She brought back a few little

pieces from Southeast Asia.

When I made some money, I started
collecting more.

They remind me of her.

The boot is worth many times what Mr.
Rutherford paid for it. That estimates

high seven figures.

Do you mind if we make a copy of these
documents?

No, not at all.

Jesus.

Elgin Marbles and the Lady of the
Gardener period.

All I could think of was a Montreal
smoked meat I'm missing.

Well, high seven figures is what, eight,
nine million dollars?

Yeah. That's what I got interested to.

Why am I still being held prisoner?

I gave my statement to the police.

Charge and release me. I'm with Customs
and Immigration.

You claim that the Abba Buddha was
stolen?

Someone focused on the release you. So
what do you know about this piece of

The Abba Buddha is a religious symbol
representing the soul of the Burmese

people. Okay, but what evidence do you
have that it's been stolen?

In September 2007, Burmese monks led
major demonstrations against the

junta. Government troops and security
agents... Attacked the monasteries and

arrested hundreds of monks, including
Nanda. They raided your monastery?

Yes. Beat people, smash everything.

I was arrested. The beating continued.
And after one year, I escaped.

How did you manage that?

It is possible to enter a state of being
where others are unaware of your

presence. You made yourself invisible?

The guards overlooked me.

left the prison, and slipped across the
border into Thailand.

You've got a British certificate of
travel.

I was accepted as refugee, and now I
speak of how Burma suffers.

Monks in Bagan took the golden Buddha
into their monastery for safekeeping,

then they were attacked, and the Buddha
disappeared.

Disappeared.

So you don't know who stole it. But the
Burmese government is totally corrupt.

No trouble smuggling the Buddha into
Thailand and selling it. Someone who in

turn sold it to William Rutherford.

Exactly. You must know where it came
from.

But all this information about what
happened in Burma, how do you know this?

Nanda told me.

I hear of this story from other monks in
prison.

Is there anyone in Burma who can confirm
this?

They're all in prison.

There must be someone.

They would be arrested.

It is against the law for a Burmese
citizen to speak to foreigners without

government official presence.

Darnell and Callie went around the
mulberry bush with those two in

Nothing solid? Plenty of compassion for
the plight of Burma, but no.

Not a shred of proof that the statue was
stolen.

So it was just a stunt to publicize the
Burma cause?

Could be.

What's your take on Rutherford?

Seemed like an okay guy for a multi
-millionaire.

Yeah, and our specialist reviewed the
documentation.

Yeah, even had the Thai translated
records indicated left Burma decades

What about coming into Canada?

All the proper documents were filed with
customs, checked and approved.

We've done due diligence.

I'll let Ottawa know the Prime Minister
can keep Rutherford on his Christmas

card list.

Okay, thanks, Officer Scott.

Looks like we'll be on our way. Just
want to thank Sergeant McKenzie.

All right, you take care.

And

nothing

on the monk from Scotland Yard or
Interpol.

So you're going to charge them?

Public nuisance.

They'll probably end up with a fine and
a warning to keep the peace.

Thanks again.

We should get back.

You're not staying for dinner?

We should get going.

So it's true what they say.

Toronto is for working.

And Montreal is for living.

Maybe we could get a later flight.

Bravo. Excuse -moi, sergent. Oui?

Superintendant, vous voulez que je
regarde à ça?

Merci.

Quoi, ça?

Blow -ups from a surveillance camera at
a museum.

This is the car that dropped off
Jeanette Talbot and the monk.

You recognize him?

Oh, yeah.

His name is Tran Bao Lan.

He's a local Vietnamese bad boy.

Extortion, women, drugs, you name it.

Defender of the rights of the Burmese.

Not likely.

So, you want to stick around, see what
this guy has to do with it?

Oh, yeah.

Boss, incoming.

There's this site in Norway.

They post video from university kids
shooting secretly in Burma, smuggled out

over the Internet.

It's from spring of last year.

Report says it's a monk who was arrested
in 2007.

Name of Ashin Nanda.

So who's the man in Montreal?

Morning.

Step in for a minute.

How's Kim doing?

Brought her home with me.

Least I could do after getting her
boyfriend killed.

Don't take that on.

Richie made his own decisions.

What did they say in N .A.? Oh, yeah. I
enabled him.

Don't rush back.

I can extend your compassionate leave.

Thanks, but I seem to do my best work
when I'm an emotional train wreck.

So,

we put a team on Baolan last night, and
this is where he was.

Went out for dinner just like us. This
is one of his regular joints.

The guy's just a kid.

Don't be fooled. Begin the Asian gang
action on the South Shore.

And if he's trafficking, he probably has
connections in Southeast Asia.

Exactement.

And last night, he was joined by his
pals and a new friend.

We put a tail on this guy after he left
the restaurant.

Adrien McGuire.

He's booked on 10 o 'clock to Toronto
this morning. English passport.

I'll let them know.

Any news on whether Nanda is an
imposter?

Not yet.

Could you keep an eye on them? We can
help.

Oui. On va faire une bonne équipe.

I figure you're tired of being asked how
you're doing.

Oh, yeah.

Glad to have you back.

Maggie, I'm so sorry about the, you
know, I just, I hope. Thanks.

I appreciate the thought.

Okay, so, latest in this Buddha thing.
New guy, Adrian McGuire.

You need to watch on him. He's arriving
1120 Island Airport.

Guess that'll be you and me.

Yeah. I'll do my usual total invasion of
privacy.

Oh, and Oscar Tommaso was quoted in the
media today saying that the Golden

Buddha is priceless. But if one were to
place a value on it, it would have to be

at least eight figures.

It's ten million.

He's up the price.

First, McGuire goes to a hardware store.

Now it's electronic.

I wonder what he's buying this time.

Hey, we're at 1217 Laird Drive, Simpson
Electronics.

What did he pick up at the last stop?

Same deal. We'll let you know when the
subject leads here.

McGuire bought some steel tubing, milled
ends with threaded caps, paid cash.

Steel tubing, electronics, and paying
with cash.

I like the way this is going.

Sammo tassa bhagavato varato samma

sambuddhas

Nothing suspicious about this Jeanette
Talbot.

Apart from her choice of companions.

Middle class girl from Beaconsfield.
Took up Buddhism in college. Lives

Teaches primary school.

Supports all the causes you'd expect.

Free Burma, free Tibet.

Ask them.

How did she hook up with Amanda?

According to her, he spoke of the temple
she offered to build at him.

Maybe there's romance involved.

He's a Buddhist monk.

They're celibate.

Maybe he's not a monk.

And people don't always play by the
rules.

I can't confirm the body of Ashinanda.

I can't even find out how many monks
named Ashinanda there are in Burma.

Freedom of information as a concept
hasn't really caught on with generals.

But you're fairly certain that a monk
named Nanda was arrested in late 2007?

Yes. Amnesty International had him in a
Rangoon prison, one of your top ten

Southeast Asian hellholes.

What about Adrian McGuire?

Oh, much more.

Thank God for open societies where
technology is embraced and no personal

is safe.

Teaches electrical engineering at
University of Salford in Manchester.

Lives with his mother.

That's suspicious right there.

His name's on plenty of social activist
petitions.

Nanda's plane ticket to Canada was paid
with McGuire's credit card.

They came over together.

How long ago?

About three weeks.

Universities are in session in England.

Why isn't he in class?

I'll find out.

How long can two people chant?

How long is a piece of string?

If Moose could see us now, I think he'd
probably be glad he was left behind.

That's more about working with Gray.

He still blames Gray for getting Layla
killed.

Do you?

I think the Buddhists have it right.

How so?

You never know what's coming, but
death's inevitable.

There's nothing you can do to prevent
the inevitable.

So every time McGuire left a store, we
sent an agent in to find out what he

bought. Tools, copper, steel tubing, a
whole bunch of electrical equipment.

Why'd he come to Toronto to do his
shopping?

Well, it's harder to trade.

So what's all this stuff add up to?

Could be making a Tesla coil.

Like you said.

Okay. Yeah.

Produces high voltage alternating
current.

Okay. I don't know. I see steel tubing.
I think pipe bomb.

I need a detonator and explosive.

Tempered steel is not going to fragment
like ordinary pipe.

They're Buddhists. Aren't they supposed
to be non -violent?

We could pick them all up for
questioning.

We haven't got enough.

More guys at the airport waiting for a
flight back to Montreal.

We've got to figure out what they're up
to, preferably before they execute.

I want to take another run at Jeanette.
You got him?

Where you going?

We have some new information regarding
your case.

Do you agree now that the Buddha was
stolen?

We can't prove that.

Jeanette, I'm really here to warn you.
We are not going to stop protesting.

But isn't violence against your beliefs?

We said anything about violence.

Adrian McGuire.

He's one of your group?

Yes. He's a friend of Nanda.

You know what he spent the day doing?

Our youth spying on us.

He was buying items that could be used
to construct a bomb.

Just got off the phone with a very
friendly secretary at Salford

Professor McGuire is on leave this term.

Sabbatical. Gwen thinks he's depressed.
His grant application was turned down by

Jarprod.

Joint Academic Research Program for
Defense.

Why did Professor McGuire want to
research?

Gwen said it was all very hush -hush.

The military do love their little
secrets.

We know someone who might be able to
provide us with the details.

Her Majesty's Secret Service?

Charlotte?

Well, um, his cousins in Thailand helped
Nanda to get to England.

So you know him through Nanda? Yes.

You know what he does for a living?

You said he wasn't networking?

Sort of.

He's a major player in the Montreal
organized crime.

Drugs, extortion, prostitution.

I believe that you're a well

-meaning person who is being misled.

Here is strong evidence that the real
Asim Nanda was killed last year in

You really care what happens to the
Burmese people?

Yes.

You're the only one in your group who
does.

She claims she doesn't know what they're
planning. I believe she's telling the

truth. What does she know?

Nanda told her he was preparing another
demonstration.

She'll be given a role when the time
comes. And the Buddha would be returned

its rightful place.

That could be Nanda's pocket.

But we still don't have enough for a dry
conspiracy, George.

Jeannette feels totally betrayed.

I think we can turn her.

You're sure you want to go that way?

I think it's the only way.

Hello?

It's me.

Finally. Sorry.

Where have you been?

But I brought a friend to help.

His brain did walking down the stairs to
the metro.

Salfon, why didn't you tell us?

I felt so bad.

You said I had to be ready this
afternoon.

I knew we'd need another person quick.

We picked, not you.

I can't do this.

There is risk.

Last time we were arrested.

I've been in protests before. This is
Montreal.

Mounted police, tear gas.

I'm not afraid.

We intend to command worldwide
attention.

We're not playing games here.

Yeah, I know.

Hi, what are you doing?

We should find someone else.

That's fine.

I'll wait, Janet. Oh, and just to show I
don't have any hard feelings, I won't

tell anyone what you're up to. Wait.

Will you do as instructed without
question?

Yes.

It'll be alright.

You need the right size.

Take off your sweater.

I left the signal on Callie's phone
right after she went inside.

I didn't want to risk a wire on either
one of them. Any chance of getting a

through a window, sliding a microcam
under a door?

Not without being seen.

So we're deaf and blind.

Stand ready to go in.

Copy that.

All right.

Once again, here's your assignment.

You enter the front doors 35 minutes
before closing.

You walk through the side gallery to
this corridor here at precisely 5 .30.

You knock twice in rapid succession on
this door here. Got it?

Then what? Then you follow my
instructions.

It'll be a terrific show.

No, I'm good.

Very well.

See you at the museum.

I don't understand.

If they want to steal the Buddha, why
draw attention to themselves with this

protest? They drew attention to the
Buddha. Got the media to announce what

worth.

Okay, so I'm just a girl from
Germanville who usually chases drug

how do they expect to find a $10 million
sculpture?

The discount is 90 to 95%. But still,
who's going to fork over one million?

rich weirdo with a secret collection?

It's mostly fantasy.

So what then?

You turn it into the insurance company
for the reward or use it as collateral

buy drugs or guns.

No kidding.

Yeah, a piece can circulate for years in
the underground that way.

So I don't know much about art.

But I know what I like.

Can you make out who's in the van?

No.

More coming.

Pick one.

The van.

I wonder what he's up to.

He's changed.

Anyone follow him inside?

I'm on the front door.

Any sign of Callie?

Yeah, she's coming up the front steps.

Is she okay?

Yeah. She's all blown.

She's about eight months pregnant.

I'm sorry, madam.

We'll close in 30 minutes.

Oh, I know, but I just want to see the
Buddha.

Everyone wants to see the Buddha.

What's the plan?

I still don't know, but I'm trying.

Why didn't you knock?

I had to use the lady.

You know how it is when you're pregnant.

What are you doing?

Give me the package.

What's in it?

Here.

Go and stand guard.

No, tell me what's going on.

Do as you're told.

Adrian!

Kelly and McGuire are in the museum, but
they haven't made a move on the Buddha

yet. Any sign of Mander or Barlan?

No, not yet.

What are you doing?

Open the door.

Be quiet.

I've got another call coming in. I'll
pass it to Maggie.

Yes?

Michael, you're Professor McGuire and
he's the Moody Research Project?

Yes. Some sort of theoretical new
weapon.

Ministry of Defence gave it the thumbs
down.

Claimed it had no practical military
application.

So they already have one.

Any specifics on the type of weapon?

Sorry.

If you really need to know, I could
permit a certain gentleman to touch my

thigh.

Close your eyes and think of England.

I'd be thinking of you, darling.

This should be enough, thanks.

Nanda's arrived at the museum. He's
walking toward the front entrance.

He was carrying a large water jug.

He stopped.

Adrian.

Let's go.

What were you doing in there? There's no
time.

Ladies and

gentlemen,

please exit the front door. We're
experiencing power failure.

I've locked her now. Explain anything.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

Can't get Montreal police comms. I've
lost security camera feed. Emails are

bouncing back.

Landlines into the museum?

Down. They're down, too. It's a black
hole.

What the hell happened?

Divert.

Check with your people at the exit.

I'll take the parking lot. Lucky.

Still no contact.

Yeah.

Montreal police units are on their way
to the scene.

Yeah, I'm going to link with them. Let
me know if you get anything.

Okay.

I'm starting to get tweets about a power
failure at the museum.

Some say lightning strike, others that
there was a fire.

Was it a bomb?

Did that son of a bitch build a bomb
after all?

No, a bomb wouldn't wipe out all the
cells.

Oh, no.

Clap me upside the head and call me
Curly. What?

Oh, I'm an idiot.

I even saw the parts, Brian.

It's an E -bomb. What the hell's an E
-bomb? An electromagnetic pulse weapon.

The theory's been around for years.

Slowly, Slade. For those who suspect
grade 11 physics trying to get next to

Natalie DiRusso.

McGuire tapped into the museum's power
supply. The steel cylinder would have

been used to contain the explosion.

What would be the point in blowing up
the art?

No, no. The explosion in an EMP device,
it's relatively small and focused.

McGuire wouldn't have needed much more
C4, say, than you could smuggle in under

Cowley's shirt.

Excuse me?

You generate an intense magnetic field,
and every electrical device within range

acts like a lightning rod. All circuitry
ends up completely fried.

Lights, phones, computers.

Surveillance cameras, motion detectors,
alarms.

All turned into WALL -E waste.

Oh, the whore.

Brilliant. I knew it would work. Wait
till those dunderheads that defend fear

about the... Give me the Buddha.

Hurry up.

Relax. We did it.

Tie them up.

Tie them? What?

What is this? Kneel down.

Kneel?

You too.

Don't be foolish.

that away.

Amanda was wearing the shorts and T
-shirt under the robe. Once he sits

sets up the framework to support the
robe. Like a monk -shaped tent.

Exactly.

Then he sets the smoke off first, flips
the false head up, slips out the

back, and a split second later sets the
whole thing on fire.

Criss Angel, eat your heart out.

Bauland's in the interview room. Manjari
Talbo has finished her statements. Any

takers?

You shot and killed Adrian Maguire in
cold blood. That is 25 years guaranteed.

You have friends in the system, right?
And enemies.

You want to be able to choose where you
do your time?

We want two names. Nanda's real name and
the name of your offense.

Are you too smart to plan a heist like
this and not know where you're going to

lay off the goods?

And you're going to let Nanda have his
payday and you do the time? That's not

very smart.

25 years is a long time to be looking
over your shoulder.

We finished here.

I feel so stupid.

And gullible.

You were targeted by two professionals
who thought they could take advantage of

your passion for a cause.

I'll never trust my ability to judge
character again.

You helped us catch Balan. And Nanda got
away with the Buddha. It might as well

be back in the hands of the generals.

Don't Buddhists believe that people face
consequences for causing suffering in

this life and in the next?

Yes.

So the man formerly known as Nanda will
get his, one way or another.

I hope he gets his soon, in this life.

The people who stole the Buddha believed
that it was taken from Burma illegally.

I acquired the Buddha through legitimate
chance.

The people who took it from the museum
are the thieves.

Are you offering a reward for its
return?

No, I don't want to reward criminals.

But I've decided that if I do get the
Buddha back, I will return it to the

Burmese people.

Just as soon as democracy is restored to
that country.

Yeah, I'm watching.

The PMO was very happy that you talked
Rutherford into making that noble

gesture.

Not hard when the man's promising to
give away something he doesn't have.

Yes, it would be better if you found it
for him.

Get on that, won't you?

Just

keeps

going on?

Who's that guy with Rudderford?

His dealer, Oscar Tommaso.

Two weeks ago, Ananda and I went to meet
Baolan at his restaurant.

That creep was leaving.

He was with Baolan?

Yes, I remember.

He checked out my ass as he was walking
away.

I just want to say I'm sorry about what
happened in New Brunswick.

Thanks.

From what I hear, there was nothing you
could do.

Kim wouldn't agree.

Most days I think she can't stand the
sight of me.

Yeah, I know how that feels.

Gray Moose, we know who's moving the
Buddha.

The mass of the dealer is connected to
Baolan.

So he was in on this from the beginning,
working both ends.

Sure, he got a line on the Buddha in
Thailand.

Faked the documentation on Tucker's
Rutherford into buying it.

He gets a commission on that sale.

Then he and Barlin arrange the heist in
Montreal.

So Tommaso can resell the statue or
return it and collect a finder's fee

the insurance company.

And split it with the thieves. Well,
it's just a two -way split now, and

the only one left on the loose.

Well, I bet he's on his way to Toronto
to deliver the Buddha to the double

dealer.

Pay Mr. Tommaso a visit.

Let him know that his art recycling
project has come to an end.

Oh.

And don't return without the Buddha.

We know you sat down with the thieves in
Montreal.

And you push the price up every chance
you get.

This is really preposterous. You just
keep making more money off that little

gold fella, don't you? Gentlemen, you
are completely mistaken.

The problem is, Baolan's looking at life
in prison while you and the monk cash

out. What, you think he's gonna sit
still for that?

He's still got a lot of connections, you
know.

I don't know a name, Baolan.

Well, someone's gonna pay you a visit.
They're gonna want Bao's cut.

And you're not gonna have it. You know
why?

Because we're not gonna let you take
delivery of the Buddha.

And we're going to be watching you. All
right, so what's it going to be?

You can cooperate with us, or you can
take your chance with Bao's friends.

I hope you get Nanda and the sculpture.

So do we.

It was great working with you. You too.

Are you sure you have to go right away?

I would really like to show you more of
Montreal.

I'd better get going.

Don't forget, you left your wedding ring
in the drawer.

Yeah.

Nothing she can do.

Every day she wakes up, it's gonna be
there.

She's gonna put in the time.

Yeah.

There you go.

Shit made of...

It

came out of nowhere.

It ran right in front of me. I couldn't
stop.
