All language subtitles for The Borderline s01e02 Strange River

Do you think he did it?

He's a holly.

You must be from Border Intelligence.
I'm Henry Rowland.

Erica Rock. Someone was in the trunk.

A unique part of the river.

History, violence, beauty, drugs
probably.

There's nothing to that. I can't. I'm
not a drug dealer. You're selling stolen

drugs back to the people you stole them
from.

Tell me, who stabbed you? Yeah, not a
fucking doctor, Pete.

You need to trust me, and I am going to
keep you out of jail.

Sit down.

Rough night.

Good morning.

Morning.

How was the rest of the party?

The kids all thought you went after some
serial killer.

And it was all they could talk about.

How cool you were.

I mean, I wouldn't have gone if you'd
had me.

You're so tense.

Let's do something about that.

I think if we want muskies, we have to
go by the bridge.

Oh yeah, no, I heard of those bridge
muskies. That's a hot spot.

We'll go there.

Give me a sec, buddy.

Hey, Erica.

Dead guy washed up this morning.

Local veterinarian, Peter Waits.

Do you know him? Pete.

Let me guess. He went to the same high
school. Same as Wade Thompson.

Two guys from the same school and as
many days.

Who's next? Class president?

He lives with his daughter Tuesday.

Tuesday?

Yeah, Tuesday.

It's a nickname.

Okay, you break the news to her. I will
head over to the clinic, see if there's

any security cameras.

Someone called in a fight by the river
last night, not too far from where we

found him. Might be a connection.

Okay, I'll speak to her, and, uh, thank
you.

Hey, buddy.

Um, British muskies are gonna have to
wait.

Hello Hello

No.

That rug is worth more than your life.

Don't you dare track down through it.

Outside. Hose yourself off.

But the wall would be freezing.

Can't use the shower. Outside!

It's done.

We put Jay to rest under the cherry tree
like you asked.

His daughters will be gutted. Make sure
they're taken care of. Yes, Mum.

I've got my package.

This geezer Steve that Jay was supposed
to meet, he's in his apartment, dead as

disco. No sign of the gear.

Fuck!

I found this in Jay's pocket.

Take your shoes off.

I think it's the kid I seen sprinting
away with a young girl.

Well, then what are you doing here?

Burying Jay, like you asked.

Miles King and the mystery girl. Go and
find them, Gaz.

Take your fucking shoes!

You want, like, a ginger ale or
something?

God, fine. Leave me alone.

Yeah, you sure?

We killed a guy, Ruby. I'm not okay.

Well, I've been doing some online
research, and it looks like each one of

bricks is about a kilo.

So how much do we have?

Well, the UN has this, like, street
value cocaine calculator, I guess, to

people informed or whatever.

Okay. We got, like, 20 bricks.

And each of the bricks should go for
between $20 ,000 and $60 ,000 depending

quality. So, ballpark, we got like a
million bucks in coke.

Hang in there, buddy.

Who was that?

Relax. Probably my dad just forgot his
keys.

Put the drugs in the bath, okay?

What is it?

You're done.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I didn't take a... We weren't talking.

You don't have to do anything.

All right, we'll take care of the
funeral.

You just breathe.

You don't have to do anything.

What was he doing on the river?

He never left this place.

I know.

Who's that?

Yeah, that's my colleague.

It's fine. Hey, she wants to ask you a
few questions about where your dad was

last night.

I wasn't here. It's fine.

She's going to ask you a few questions,
and I will sit right there.

Okay? Okay.

Easy peasy.

Ruby Miles, this is Agent Ross.

She's from Border Intelligence, and
she's going to ask a few questions.

Grab a seat.

Hi, Ruby.

Sorry about your dad.

You holding up okay?

No.

We found something at your dad's clinic.

That left us a little confused.

Okay.

Did your dad keep odd hours?

Maybe going to the clinic when it was
supposed to be closed or bringing things

home that should have been in lockup?

What, like drugs?

No, no, no. He wasn't on drugs. He just
drank.

Um...

We feel like we have identified a
connection between him and

someone who might have been involved in
criminal activity.

Do you know the name Wade Thompson?

We weren't close.

I don't know.

Did your dad have any enemies?

He killed a shit -three once.

Oh, Mrs. Crookshanks.

It just didn't really wake up after an
operation.

But someone kept egging the house at
night.

And then we found out it was, well, old
Mrs. Crookshanks.

My dad's only enemy was bourbon.

You remember back to when you became
distant? Do you remember a turning

maybe, or a sudden change in behavior?

Like heading straight to the liquor
store after dropping my mom off at

I was thinking of something more
recently.

We weren't close.

Recently.

What do you really want to ask me?

I think your dad operated on someone in
his clinic. Not an animal, but a person.

And if that's the case, if you have any
information about who he might have been

hanging out with, why he would be on the
river in the middle of the night,

anything would be helpful.

You want me to help you?

My dad just died.

I know.

Fuck!

He's dead.

He's dead and you're here.

Making me feel like he did something to
deserve it?

I'm not saying that. Not anymore. What
the fuck is wrong with you?

Hey.

We're done here.

Let's go.

I'm done.

Someone was in the clinic when I went
by.

There were security cameras, but they
were white. And... I found this.

It's a baseball card. Covered in blood.
Not really a dog chew toy now, is it?

Is that you?

Yeah. Yeah. Long time ago. That's me.

And Wade Thompson and Pete?

Yep.

I know it's a small town, but Pete and
Wade in the same photo is more than a

coincidence.

I wanted to talk to the Thompsons
myself.

Good.

Miles. Hey.

Ruby is very important to me. You take
care of her. Do you understand?

How you doing?

Good. I left me the Wi -Fi password,
Hank.

Yeah, so we need to talk.

All truth and nothing but.

You're not going to cut the crust for
me?

Okay, so the story that you're telling
me here, stop me if I

fuck it up.

You're working as a bag man doing jobs
for Wade, running shit across the river.

You get a shipment of drugs.

You stop at a card game.

Somebody follows you out. They find your
shit. They take it.

Why? Why, why, why?

Well, ask him when you find them.

Were you stacking the deck?

Were you picking people off?

No, I don't need to stack the deck, man.
If this table is a weak table, your

five -year -old could wash them.

My five -year -old just turned eight.

No shit. Adam?

Yeah. Did you get him in a ring yet?

Yeah, I mean, he's showing interest.

He does eat his crust.

Look, you've been gone a long time,
Tommy. This is not a catch -up. All

Who do you think it was who knocked you
out?

I don't know. There was this annoying
motherfucker at the table. I guess he

an actor with the floating players.

Name. Do you have a name?

Steve something.

Do we think that Steve has the drugs?

If anyone does.

All right. I'll look into him.

And what am I supposed to do until then?
These people want you dead.

So the only way out is going to be
through official channels.

You need to get your story straight, and
then you get ready to repeat that story

at the station.

Like hell I will. No, I'm not a rat.

Tommy, if you don't play ball, we're
both going down.

All things considered, thanks, Hank.

I appreciate it. And you can tell Pete
the same thing.

So you're saying you don't think that he
was alone on the water? Well, Carter,

you woke up hearing something violent
out in the water. Thought he saw someone

fall in. He wasn't sure if it was a
person or not. But he said there were at

least two people yelling on that boat.

That's not a lot to go on, Charlie.

You know, if Pete was involved in
something, there's only a few people on

river I can think of who could have
dragged him in or something like that.

Did Ross tell you what she found at the
Glenick?

Baseball card.

Yeah, a Jackie Robinson baseball card.
That's right.

And he guesses as to whose prince friend
is going to dig up off that card.

There's something you want to ask me,
Charlie.

Where the fuck is Tommy Hawley?

These drugs are worth a million dollars.
Someone's got it missing. There's

someone who probably put a couple of
tires around her neck and set them on

How much money do you have?

Not much. You?

Same.

If they find it, they'll kill us.

It's been a while since I thought, God,
I wish Steve was here.

What would he do?

What would Steve do?

WWSD.

He'd sell it.

Right? I mean, it's currency.

It's worth something. Like, a lot of
something.

So let's make some money.

Right?

Then get the fuck out of here.

Hey Steve Oh

I just got off the phone with Wade
Thompson's family.

Not much fond of cops. Could have saved
you the trouble.

Well, the thing is, Henry said he went
by there, but the Thompsons say they

haven't seen him in years.

Not since he and Wade were in the boxing
club.

You keeping tabs on all of us or just my
son -in -law?

When I see a cop acting cagey,
disappearing, and two people he knows

wind up dead in a 25 -hour period, yeah,
I keep tabs.

Oh, forensics just came back. Got a hit
on the baseball card.

Good. What are you doing?

You always do that?

I don't know.

What this girl Stacy used to do. She's
always hated me, but she's got a mean

coke habit, so I thought maybe we might
bond over channeling Marilyn Monroe.

You got the sample?

Ruby, wait.

Stacy? Hi.

Been a minute.

You got, like, dirt or something on your
face.

Hey. Well, look what the cat dragged
down.

Want to catch me up? Yeah, please.

A partial fingerprint came back from the
baseball card.

Tommy Hawley, repeat offender.

Another one of your old friends from the
boxing days.

Yeah, which is, I mean, we were kids.

Well. I looked into him. Most of his
files are blacked out.

Well, I mean, that's not surprising. He
started to get in trouble when he was a

minor, right? It's thorough.

Like someone wanted to keep this kid out
of the system. Where are we going?

Where are we going with this, Erica?

I think it's odd that you didn't think
of him yourself.

You know, Henry and I, we both know the
Hollies well.

The whole town does.

Tommy Holly, he's been in and out of
prison most of his adult life.

Well, the long and short of it is, if
Tommy was back in town, getting a

in the action, we'd hear about it,
wouldn't we, Henry? Yeah, I mean, I know

about this stuff. I got anything for
these guys. I grew up with them. Or you

might be biased.

Or you might be letting old loyalties
keep you from doing your job.

Yeah, maybe you know where Tommy's at.
Yeah, no, I'd say.

I would say.

So, it's nice to know where I stand,
Erica.

There are a lot of coincidences. And
it's a small fucking town.

Jesus Christ.

He knows something. He'll fill us in
when he can.

Oh, well.

Until then, I'm going to keep doing my
job.

Holy shit.

It's, like, really good.

Where'd you get it?

There's been a total coke drought in the
islands.

From a friend. Doesn't matter.

You want to buy it?

Yeah, for sure.

How much?

About $150.

Okay.

I hope this good's worth a lot more than
that, but okay.

You make all that here?

No.

I danced down at Island Peaks.

Why? Had a problem?

Why would that be a problem?

We're the drug dealers.

Don't judge me.

So you're still with that actor?

Not really.

Too bad.

He was cute in like a brain -dead puppy
dog kind of way.

You know he tried to fuck me, right?

Okay, well, we've got more if you want.
Looks like you got money. No, no, no. I

can't stop myself when it's around. And
everything in moderation, right?

I just suck it all back.

Okay, Stacy. Well, nice to see you.

Owen might, though. Owen?

The owner.

Loves the stuff.

He's not in, but I can give him a call.
No, I think we just... Let's just keep

it between friends, okay?

Friends. It's hilarious.

I'll just call Owen and he'll bite like
all of it.

What do you think?

I don't know.

See how the vibes are?

It's off.

We bolt.

Hey, man. Shop closing at 10, okay?

Why don't you close early?

What?

I'd like to have a quick chat with your
colleague, Miles.

Miles?

Is he okay? He didn't show today.

Did he not?

Do you know where he is?

No. No. And you are again?

A good mate.

Ah, uni. You need to think really,
really hard and rack your brain.

Now, where might I find young Miles?

I think maybe you should go.

Wrong door.

Tommy Pete's dead.

Station and Border Patrol are on to you.
Your fingerprints just showed up at two

separate crime scenes and they know,
they know that I'm involved in this.

do you mean Pete's dead?

I mean he was shit -faced and he fell
off the back of the boat after he

you up.

River was always going to get him
eventually.

Not the only dead guy.

Steve.

Murdered?

Probably an OD, but the drugs weren't
with him and his place was trashed. So

whoever got there before me probably has
them. Probably the same people that

stuck you with a fucking knife, Tommy.

Look at me.

You gotta come in.

Come on with that, Hank. Take these
people down.

I will make sure that you walk.

Yeah, and then what does that make me?

Where are you going to put me? Up in
Saskatoon with a job at the Home Depot?

What about Liv?

Liv comes with you.

Did she say that to you, or are you
saying that for her? This plan gets that

done, Tommy, but I need something
concrete, and you fucking know that

isn't it.

Okay, maybe... Maybe Sarkis.

Who's that?

Sarkis Massarian. He's a border guard.

Okay, I mainly cross the border by
water, but sometimes they need me on

I gotta use the bridge.

And if anybody's gonna turn, it's that
tweaky little bitch.

Fuck.

Is that it?

Currently, let's get this clear, you've
got ten little fingernails. Am I right?

I swear!

Oh, fucks.

Just a sec, mate.

Hello?

Hmm?

Yeah. The diner, all right.

You're lucky day, son.

Your manicure will have to wait.

Now, let's get this clear.

No one's going to know about this little
chap.

Or else there could be dire consequences
for you.

Understand?

I said, do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Cool. Good boy.

We have been here forever.

Is this starting to feel a little
familiar?

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.

You never heard us rude to whisper?

Sorry, we just have places to be, so...
You're so nervous.

Oh, my God.

Just relax.

No one's, like, a minute away.

This is totally how I remember you, so,
like, jittery.

People never change, huh?

No, it's not.

Okay.

He says you guys should come to the
back. You've got your buyer.

Come on, follow.

I don't like this.

Then let's go.

He sounds excited.

Guess he's really horny for a new
supplier.

It's okay. I think we're actually just
going to hold on to it for now. But

totally give you a call if we want to
move more.

Ruby, he, like, really wants to talk to
you. Yeah, well, maybe another time.

What are you doing? Let go.

He needs to talk to me.

The Massarian asks if you got something
to declare. You say, fireworks.

He perks up, and you say that I've got a
Roman candle.

Just one.

That's the bribe. All right, you give
him the Roman candle that you stuffed

cash, and he goes home happy with no
more questions about what else you got

the trunk.

Just remember, when you get there,
Lotharian only ever works the third

Okay?

Evening.

Passport? Uh, yeah. There you go.

Anything to declare?

Yeah.

Fireworks.

Fireworks?

Okay. What kind?

No, we can't.

He wasn't expecting a crossing tonight.
What? Are you new to this?

Uh, yes. Just started.

Oh.

Music to my ears, man. Music to my ears.

Now I can sign off. You know, I already
told the boss I'm filling the life.

All right, Mr. New Guy.

Welcome back to town.

What if we turned ourselves in? We went
over that. We'll go to jail.

Yeah, but that cop, he seems like a good
guy. I don't know. I've never been in a

situation like this.

You think I have?

We killed a guy, Maya. It was self
-defense, though.

Self -defense during a drug deal.

Kind of hits different, don't you think?

Okay. We got $150 from Stacy.

Uh, it's enough to take us on the road,
right?

It's maybe enough for a night at a
motel.

We need more.

That Owen guy was definitely bad man.

I think whoever's after the drug put the
word out, you know, to, like, call it

in if someone tries to sell it at any of
the bars around here.

Yeah, well, how far do you think they'd
be looking? I mean, we could try the

next town or two or Kingston or... We
took too much.

I don't think it's safe to sell it
anywhere.

Do banks give loans to drug dealers?

A loan's not a bad idea.

I know someone who can maybe swing that.

My boss, I guess, co -owner,
technically, but he owes me.

It wouldn't be much, but maybe he'd help
us out.

Walt!

Jesus, man, what happened?

You okay?

What's going on? What are you into?

I'm calling the cops. No, no.

Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing?

You can't.

Listen.

I need money.

What?

These people are bad. Just a couple
grand. I just need to get out of town.

I know you have it in the safe.

You wanted my damn fingernails.

Miles! This was my dad's business, too,
and I haven't come for any of it because

I assumed we were partners. Well, you
assumed wrong!

Wait, what are you doing?

What are you doing? I know how much
these are worth. I'll only take what's

Walt, please!

I need money.

I'm so sorry.

Leave a message.

Hey, I'm busy with work, so don't stay
up. All right?

Love you.

If Sarkis did a run, he'll have a hockey
bag. It's always a hockey bag. You

catch him with that, he'll be easy to
turn.

Sarkis!

Whoa! Who are you?

What's in the bag?

Hey, you're the new fireworks guy.

What'd you do, follow me?

Yeah, we need to talk.

Tommy Holly sent me.

Tommy Holly, I thought it was dead.

No, he's not.

Who are you exactly?

I'm going to get my badge.

Your what?

My badge, dickhead.

All right, but I just want to talk.

I ain't going to hear.

No, no, that's done.

Oh, come on, I just need a goddamn...

Shit.

This wouldn't have happened if you
didn't silo your entire investigation.

We're supposed to be working together.

No, it wouldn't have happened if you
didn't follow me. This was surveillance.

Then why would you approach the suspect?
I think what's important is how we

approach the next few steps.

A man is dead,

Henry. An officer of the law.

A border guard, for Christ's sake, and
what I'm saying is that we need your

informant to come in so that we can make
this all official.

My source just gave up a contact that
could have become our informant and led

to all the big players in this
operation, but none of that can happen

because you shot him in the chest!

Well, you've got a funny way of saying
thank you for saving your life! I'm not

saying thank you! Enough!

Enough! Enough!

Ross's superiors are putting her on
mandatory leave until the death settles

the shooting.

Yeah, and thank you for that.

Henry, I put my ass in the line here for
you, so you better fucking know what

you're doing here, son.

Mm -hmm.

Hey.

How did it go with your guy?

Did you get the money?

Wasn't great.

Bad. They wanted to hurt me, but they
found Walt, and they hurt him, and it's

all my fault.

I did get something.

This is the first printing. It's about
800.

This is a little more rough, but I think
I can get five.

You want to sell comic books?

I can sell them online.

They're rare. They'll go fast. You can
ship them from the road.

Hello? Have you ever heard of the satin
road, dark web kind of shit?

You mean the silk road? Yeah, why?

Well, they sell all kinds of shit on
there, right?

Drugs, passports, hell, I even heard
they got a hitman.

I think that's a myth.

What if it wasn't?

You want to hire a hitman? No, I want to
sell drugs.

Make it look like we're just selling
comics.

But actually, we hide the coke inside.

People buy the drugs online and we ship
through the mail. I don't know, is that

stupid?

No, it's freaking genius.

Yeah.

We're closed.

No, you ain't.

We made it clear not to let him leave.

Oh, you see my fucking face?

It's my tip maker.

Hey, my problem.

My problem is that you let him leave.

My governor has got very high standards,
babe.

Wait, wait, wait.

I didn't say this before because I
didn't think it mattered, but I know

bitch. The girl?

Her name's Ruby.

Ruby Waits.

And I'll tell you everything.

Where she lives, the dude she takes in
high school, how shit she was in math

class, just...

Come on, the hammer's like a little
watch.

You what?

A little extra, like a little watch.

Oh.

Well, go on.

Tell me about Ruby White.

I didn't come to just chat
cheeseburgers, though. No?

No. I didn't think so.

We need to have a discussion about your
boyfriend, Steve.

Bit of a problem, Mum.

The young girl's at home, being visited
by one of the cops.

Which one?

The flash geezer, Rowland.

What's he doing there?

I ain't got the foggiest, but I've been
there quite a while.

Someone at the door, I've got to go.

Erica, hi.

Sorry to show up like this. I had a
shitty day.

Oh, dear, I have to apologize. I invited
you.

You want to come in?

I don't want to apologize.

Well, I don't want to drink a bottle of
wine. I've just opened by myself. So

come in.

Tell me about your shitty day.

Steve's not my boyfriend.

No? Not anymore.

Oh, okay. So ex -boyfriend?

Yeah.

When was the last time you got chatted?

It's been a minute.

Like in the past few days? I don't know.
Why?

Um, well, he's, um, dead.

I'm sorry.

I'm not surprised.

Why?

He kept talking about some big score.

Mm -hmm. Getting weird using a lot.

He OD'd.

Didn't he?

Mm -hmm.

Look, someone had searched his apartment
before I got there, so... I mean...

Can you think of any reason why?

I already told you.

I blocked him on everything.

Mm -hmm.

Dean was involved in some serious shit.

Whoever was looking for him, they might
be looking for people who knew him. So

if I found that, that means someone else
saw it too.

I gotta get this.

Okay, do we continue?

Yeah, Chuck.

The word's out on the bus today.

Brad thinks we got national news on
this, which means we need to be dead

certain we got all our I's dotted, T's
crossed.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Of course?

Son, where do you think you stand with
Ross right now?

She's coming right along.

Not without something solid.

Well, what do you suggest?

Stop trying to do this all on your own.

We need to make this official, so you go
wherever Tommy's holed up. Why? Nope,

let me finish.

You bring him in tomorrow morning.

I shouldn't be telling you all of this.

These men.

I mean, you followed your instinct and
you saved one of them.

But now you're going to sit back while
he takes credit for your work and you

forced off the job.

It's a mandatory leave after a shooting.

Well, you have to show them that it's
mandatory to listen to you.

You're going to find a way back in.

And to quote one of your fellow
Canadians, don't let the bastards grind

down.

Tommy?
