Original subtitles

No more breaking in.

[Kessler]: previously on "the border":

[Zoey]: mom and i are tight

You and me, not so much.

Are you saying you wanna move in?

Mom runs a refugee shelter, remember?

I'’ve been around political exiles

And torture victims my whole life,

This stuff is in my blood.

When did he stop wearing boxers?

Probably around the same time he became a major horndog.

Most of the kidnappings here are for profit. Not politically motivated.

[Soldier]: stay down, it'’s still hot.

We have them. They'’re alive.

[Releived laughter]

♪ ...Disaster

♪ Can you feel it in your bones? ♪

♪ I can feel like i'’m a lover ♪

♪ After working as her thrown

♪ It'’s our own investigation ♪

So this is where the magic happens.

Yes, the bad hair, the sequins...

The smelly feet!

Who'’s that?

Yuan dao, one of the top chinese skaters.

They'’re doing an exhibition tour as a warm-up for the olympics.

[Zoey]: he'’s pretty good.

Srength, speed, beauty...

His cup overfloweth.

New love interest?

[ Chuckle]

No. If only.

He'’s straight.

Come on, you can meet him.

I should warn you though;

He'’s got handlers and they'’re all over him.

How you doin'’?

Look at her.

Has she not carried perfection to dizzying extremes?

Tristan!

I think you are embarrassing your friend.

With tristan, humiliation is a part of the package.

I am yuan dao.

Zoey kessler.

Oh...

Who'’s he?

Another cultural attache?

It'’s what the secret agents like to be called.

Secret agents, as in spies?

Guoanbu... Chinese secret service.

Please, they'’ll hear you.

Why don'’t you two chickens talk amongst yourselves?

I have to pee.

Excuse me.

I saw you skate. You were beyond amazing.

Do you skate?

Not since i was, like, ten, and then i fell and broke my wrist

And then i just disappeared into the whole ballet thing.

And why am i telling you all this?

[Explotion] whoa! Hey!

Oh my god, tristan!

[Fire alarm dings, panicked chatter and screams]

Please, come.What'’re you doing?

[Tristan]: look, i thought it was out. I'’m sorry.

I know you shouldn'’t smoke.

Go! Go!

Please, they will stop me.

[Fire alarm dings]

[Chinese]

Hurry.

This way.

[Sirens]

[Chinese]

[Chinese]

[Chinese]

[Patron chatter]

[Chinese]

[Chinese]

[Dishes clank]

What the hell'’s going on?

If you please, miss kessler,

I would like to defect to canada.

♪♪

[Bell dings]

Olympic. He skates very, very good.

[Chinese]

She got cable just to watch me.

Sit, i'’ll make you supper.

You are safe here.

[Chinese]

Look, you stay. Good luck and everything, but i gotta go.

Tristan said your father would help me.

That he'’d let me into the country.

What?

Is this some kind of a set-up?

Tristan didn'’t talk to you, did he?

I make jiuqu dachang. Soup.

[Phone buzz]

She'’s not answering.

[Terri]: huh.

And this dinner was her idea.

Not that i didn'’t want...

How '’bout i pour you another glass of wine?

Sure.

So, zoey tells me you'’ve turned into a major horndog.

[Snort]

Nice to know my love life

Is keeping you both entertained.

[Song playing]

Do you mind if we turn this up?

Yeah, sure.

The hip.

Our first date.

You took me to the horseshoe to see them.

♪ The sun is gonna leave me

♪ And that'’s where he will stay ♪

It'’s not much, but it'’s all i got.

I can'’t take your money.

I'’m sorry my dad can'’t help you. But even if he could, he wouldn'’t.

It would set a precedent, people using me to get to him.

You get that, right?

Yes, of course.

[Traffic]

You must be seriously famous.

That woman is staring at you.

She is guoanbu, chinese secret service.

Are you sure? She'’s not following us.

I'’m sure.

This is toronto, not beijing.

How many chinese spies do you think there are in canada?

I don'’t know, twenty?

Your own government says the number'’s over 1000.

They use surveillance to monitor chinese people all over the world.

And you learned all this on an ice rink?

Look there...

And there...

Surveillance cameras.

Not so many as in china,

And you don'’t go to jail if you say the wrong thing.

But your government watches you, too.

You'’re not just a figure skater, are you?

In some chinese cities, there is one camera every 50 feet.

Many were designed here, in canada.

[ Newscaster]: the homicides are the 40th

And 41st in metro toronto this year.

Rumours began to swirl this evening when yuan dao,

A chinese skating star, failed to make an appearance

At an exhibition performance at the air canada centre.

Two eye-witnesses report seeing the skater

Leaving a mid-town arena

In the company of a young woman this afternoon.

Chinese officials claim he is indisposed with a sudden illness.

Yet another plan to revitalize toronto'’s waterfront

Has been halted due to a lack of federal and provincial funds.

Metro council has begun to question

Whether the long dreamt of...

Oh my god! This is it!

The oaxaca mole. Mmm!

The secret ingredient is tequila.

Mm?

You got any lime juice and triple sec?

[Phone buzzes]

Hold that thought. Mm-hm.

Kessler.

[ Holland]: the chinese have lost their star skater.

Well, that was careless of them.

Was that a joke?

Because the chinese ambassador isn'’t laughing.

He practically accused us of poaching.

Can'’t this wait '’til morning?

Sweetwater systems is about to sell

Half a billion dollars worth of fibre-optics to beijing.

The chinese take their olympics very seriously.

Let me guess. No skater, no deal?

The ambassador'’s exact words.

Musn'’t piss off the emerging superpower.

With the u.s. Down for the count china may be our only way out of this recession.

One awol athlete is not gonna bring down the canadian economy.

Holland: let me make this simple for you.

Find the skater. Now!

Wow, you practically made it halfway through the main course

Before a national crisis erupted.

This is not a crisis.

Mm-hm.

In fact,let'’s turn this baby off

Now where were we?

Lime juice and triple sec.

[Laughs]

So you'’re defecting because you like freedom...

That is correct.

And not because you like money?

In china, i am actually quite rich.

I drive a porsche with a gps system

That is monitored 24 hours a day.

You know tai chi?

[Zoey]: mmm...Way too mellow for me.

I like kick-boxing.

Tai chi is kick-boxing, in slow motion.

I'’ll show you.

First, you enter a state of balance

And relaxation...

Feet together,

Hands like so...

Feel your body grow and dissolve...

As you empty your mind of thought...

Now, slowly shift your weight

Onto your right foot,

And step out...

Like so.

Oh no.

Oh, say it ain'’t so, zo.

Eee.

[S]peed dial beep]

[Music playing]

I should go. Hahaha

Oh, you don'’t have to.

See, you are a horndog.

[Both chuckle]

I just forgot how good this feels.

[Exhale]

At least, uh, let me help you clean the dishes.

Leave those...

Please.

[Music plays]

I really... I better go.

♪ If i make you scared

♪ And you pay me to

♪ If that'’s the deal ♪

[Terri] :thanks for dinner.

♪ Now here'’s what i can do for you ♪

♪ And there'’s a focus group... ♪

Your mother must be a great woman.

She started this place when i was three.

I used to play hide and seek with these kids who survived the rwanda genocide.

You are an interesting girl.

It'’s kinda cool watching people get their lives back.

Come in.

So don'’t worry, she'’s here with me

And she'’s fine, okay?

Bye-bye.

Your father turned off his phone.

Seriously? Mm-hm.

I don'’t think he'’s gonna be too happy when he hears about dao.

Can dao stay here tonight?

We'’re short-staffed and full up with real refugees.

Dao'’s real. He'’s got half the chinese secret service after him.

Come on, zoey he'’s a figure skater looking for a more lucrative contract.

That'’s what i thought, but he'’s already got a porsche.

It'’s just one night. Please?

[Sighs]

All right, he can sleep on the couch in the common room,

And you can do some extra volunteer shifts.

I'’ll start tonight.

You go home and sleep off the tequila.

What?

That is lime on your breath, right?

Two little margaritas.

I found these.

Toothpaste, new toothbrush,

Razor, even dental floss.

I'’m big on flossing.

Thank you.

I couldn'’t dig up any pyjamas, though.

I never wear them.

Good to know.

[Typing sounds]

What'’re you doing?

Sending emails to my friends in beijing.

So they don'’t worry.

You could use my phone to tweet your friends.

In china, they stopped twitter.

Too hard to monitor.

I follow like six people, and they'’re too hard to monitor?

I think you are a kind person, zoey.

And very brave.

Not me.

[Birds chirping]

Hello, darling. Happy to see me?

Always.

To what do i owe the pleasure?

Oh, i had a sudden urge to congratulate you

For making it out of that wretched country alive.

Mmm.

Tequila?

Uh-huh.

Two glasses...?

Mmm!

Two plates!

Entertaining someone, were we?

I had dinner with my ex-wife.

The lovely woman i met at the hospital?

Zoey invited her.

You looked away for a moment.

That signifies guilt.

I could just disappear.

You'’d condemn yourself to a lifetime of wretched jobs,

No healthcare, no legal rights,

Always looking over your shoulder.

If he files a claim,

How long before they send him back?

Mm, this is a high-profile case.the board will move quickly,

The chinese consulate will request detention.

You can have him remanded to your care.

Hang on a second, honey.

[Zoey]: dad can recommend it.

I know i'’m not supposed to ask him, but just this once

He'’ll be under a lot of pressure from the chinese embassy.

I think he'’ll do the right thing.

Hey.

[Phones ring]

Ahem.

Have you, uh, heard from zoey recently?

Like last night, say?

She was with her mother. Why?

Oh, that is such good news.

Was the skater there, too?

The skater?

Yuan dao, the um... Ahem...

The missing chinese athlete?

[Sigh]

Don'’t they make a cute couple?

[Kessler]: maggie, have you seen this?

Is that zoey?

According to my ex-wife she spent the night at haven house

I'’m guessing the skater'’s there too.

Do me a favour and arrest all three of them?

No need. Zoey and skateboy just pulled up outside.

Zoey, i'’d like a word.

Have you lost your mind?

Helping a famous chinese athlete defect

Right before canada hosts an olympics?

Would you calm down?

Calm... You are the daughter of the head of immigration and customs security!

The chinese are always looking for insults,

But this is practically spitting in china'’s face!

It just happened so fast!

One minute i was standing with my friend,

And the next? I'’m being chased by spies.

You were set up?

Maybe.

But dao is really amazing, and if he goes back now, they'’ll put him in prison.

There'’s a delegation here from the chinese embassy, led by deputy minister holland

[Zoey]: what'’s going on?

You can'’t hand him over.

Go home, zoey. You'’ve done enough damage

To international relations for one day.

At least let me say goodbye.

Make it quick.

[Key jingle]

We'’ll need your passport.

It'’s held by my team manager.

Do you have any i.d.?

I'’m sorry, miss castle. My throat is very dry.

I'’ll see if i can find you a glass of water.

Those men will kill me.

What?

You were right, i am not just a skater.

I am also a freedom activist.

Two days ago, my friend was arrested and tortured.

By now he will have given them my name.

Thank you so much for meeting with us.

I can'’t tell you how highly canada values

Its good relations with your beautiful country.

I understand yuan dao'’s here, in this building.

He is indeed, and i'’m very happy to be able to return him to you.

He'’s filling out a refugee declaration.

It could take weeks to reach a hearing.

Or days.

We'’ll do everything we can to expedite his case.

So long as his legal rights are upheld.

[Sighs]

Major kessler likes to do things by the book.

I apologize.

I'’m afraid it is i who must make the apology.

We'’ve just received news from beijing.

I'’m afraid yuan dao is a violent terrorist.

This photo was found in the possession of a terrorist we arrested

Two days ago.

Yuan dao is with dolkun isa,

Number three on china'’s most wanted list.

Yuan dao could provide information.

You mean under torture.

Major.

I'’m feeling a little sensitive about torture these days.

I could only find...

Cola.

You should go back.

You can tell them i overpowered you.

As if.

I can assure you we will do everything we can

To make sure that this young man is brought to justice.

Canada has no desire

To become a safe haven for terrorists.

Isn'’t that right, major kessler?

Major?

Absolutely.

[Gemming] : perhaps, if i speak to yuan dao,

I can persuade him to drop this refugee nonsense.

No.

i beg your pardon

He'’s already been taken downstairs for processing.

I can wait.

It'’s not our policy to conduct joint interrogations with the guoanbu.

Ha, protocol. Hehe. What can you do?

Apparently, even i'’m powerless to circumvent it.

So i see.

Well, shall we leave ics to continue its processing?

This way, gentlemen.

I'’m terribly sorry about the mix up.

What the hell'’s going on here?

You tell me.

I leave my client alone for five minutes,

You people spirit him away.

Where is he?

Down in the cells?

Zoey just left with him in my car.

And according to the chinese, he'’s a dangerous terrorist.

[Phone ringing]

My dad knows we'’re gone.

I must leave you.

Before i bring you anymore trouble.

So what, you disappear and i never see you again?

I would not like that.

Neither would i.

[Kessler]: is that cherry street?

Number 107.

Hey, isn'’t that mrs. Ex-k'’s shelter?

Terri: haven house.

[Kessler]: is zoey with you?

She'’s not here.

What'’s this about?

She just absconded with dao,

Who the chinese claim is a uyghur terrorist.

I'’m not convinced there are any uyghur terrorists.

And dao'’s a buddhist, not a muslim.

How do you know?

He turned down a chicken sandwich.

Joked about not wanting to eat his reincarnated grandmother.

When they get there, call me.

Which should be soon, they'’re parked outside.

[Terri]: okay.

[Phone beeps off]

What'’s going on?

Dad was going to hand dao over to the guoanbu,

They wanna kill him.

Why would they do that?

In china, i'’m a freedom activist.

It is very inconvenient for the government.

They told ics you were a uyghur.

[Snicker]

I admire the uyghur people,

But i am han chinese.

[Kessler]: yuan dao and my daughter are at haven house.

Go pick them up.

Yes sir.

[Kessler]: slade, see if you can find a link

Between our skater and uyghur terrorists.

You can start with this photo.

Slade: well, it'’s been photoshopped.

Yeah, see? Dao'’s been lit by a flashbulb,

But everybody else is in natural light.

Angry d.m. At nine o'’clock.

Is that mike schmidt from sweetwater?

He'’s like a telecom giant.

Though now that i see him in person, he'’s actually...

He'’s kinda short.

Schmidt: now, make no mistake.

The 21st century belongs to the chinese.

They'’re growing at an incredible pace,

And using their massive u.s. Dollar reserves

To buy up huge chunks of the planet.

Canada needs to get in on the ground floor,

Or we'’ll be out of the game.

We can become china'’s go-to country for telecom.

If we fail, in 10 years,

We'’ll be buying our fibre-optic cable from them.

And all this hinges on one young figure skater.

Beijing seems to think so.

[Chatter]

You care about this guy, huh?

He'’s just so good.

Everything about him.

You'’ve been wrong before.

There were always red flags.

I just chose to ignore them.

[Sighs]

Why you couldn'’t you have fallen in love with an accountant?

Don'’t let them take him, please.

Honey...

[Knocking]: ics, open up.

Take my car. I'’ll stall them, you go.

Can i help you?

Yeah, we'’re here to pick up yuan dao.

[Siren]

Who?

We know he'’s here. You'’re harbouring a fugitive.

Come on, step outta the way, terri.

Not without a warrant.

Oh, this is nuts.

Boss? We got a problem.

[Car rumbles]

[Kessler]:put zoey on the phone.

Not without a warrant.

My ex-wife wants a warrant so i can speak to my own daughter?

Well, there goes that "co-parent of the year" award.

If what the chinese say is true,

Zoey could be in danger

Mike i'’ve spent the last 20 years dealing with just about every kind of person there is.

I can tell the good from the bad.

I found the original of that uyghur shot,

And yuan dao ain'’t in it.

Uh, here, just to show you how easy it is.

[Kessler]: the deputy minister meeting bin laden?

Check out that tie.

Heh. Sweet.

Thank you, i will be there.

Did tristan rent the car?

He'’s lending me his.

Nice.

If i were honourable, i would turn myself in to clear your name.

I don'’t give a shit about my name.

Hello, there.

Planning a little trip?

Charlotte bates.

You'’d be the skater that'’s got everyone's knickers in a twist.

Yuan dao.

If you'’re going on the run, you'’ll need money.

You'’ll need to stay in touch. Do you have a phone?

No.

Take this - it can'’t be traced.

And why exactly are you helping us?

Just consider it my contribution to young love.

Thanks.

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Michael!

No-no, i'’ve just got in.

There'’s no sign of her.

Your little birds must'’ve flown.

[Keys jingle]

There he is.

I hate this.

I thought leaving my country was hard.

This is harder.

[Tristan]: run! Run!

It'’s a trap!

Dao!

[Gunshot]

[Zoey]: tristan! Oh god!

Run! They'’ll kill you!

Please hurry, my friend'’s been shot.

Announcement: dr. Gilbert to emerge.

Hey, sweetheart.

Dad.

[Sigh]

How is he?

The bullet missed his femur.

He should be able to skate again.

Not this olympics.

Could you give us a few minutes?

I need to ask tristan some questions.

Don'’t be hard on him, okay?

He'’s a friend.

[Tristan]: arrest me now,

Put my conscience out of its misery.

It'’s bothering you?

I lied to zoey

And exposed her to all these...

Crazy people with guns.

You lied?

Well, i certainly left things out.

Like how it was shun li,

One of the cultural attaches,

Who set up dao'’s escape;

How shun li knew that zoey was your daughter;

And how he paid me a thousand pieces of silver,

Or loonies, in this case.

You sold my daughter out for a thousand dollars?

I should'’ve asked for at least five.

This is not a joke, tristan.

Believe me, i know.

I may never skate competitively again.

A chinese agent paid you to introduce dao

To the daughter of the head of ics.

What does that suggest to you?

You think yuan dao is a chinese spy?

Maggie, we need a sweep of the office,

Especially the board room or wherever else yuan dao might'’ve been,

Including my apartment.

And pick up the attache shun li.

Come here! Hey!

[Handcuff jingle]

[Kessler]: you'’re friend dao bugged our apartment.

[Zoey]: i don'’t believe it.

[Kessler]: the sweep team found a transmitter in our lamp.

Then it got there some other way. Dao wouldn'’t do that.

He'’s a spy, zoey.

Everything, the defection,

Being chased by the guoanbu. It'’s a show

A way for the chinese to infiltrate ics.

That'’s crazy.

Do you know how many chinese dissident immigrants we have in our database?

You think dao pretended to love me so he could spy on you?

Love?

He'’s out there, right now,being chased by men with guns.

And instead of helping him, you'’re turning him into the enemy.

Could you just take me to haven house?

I wanna see mom.

He'’s guoanbu; that'’s hardly a surprise.

He was educated in england.

He read history at cambridge.

Really? Which college?

Trinity.

What is that scent you'’re wearing?

Is it lemon with a hint of lavender?

I don'’t wear a scent.

Really?

Who was shun li'’s tutor at cambridge?

Uh...

Ah, here it is.

Sir john merryday.

Thank you.

You'’re welcome.

We know you'’re with the chinese secret service.

Then you know i am but one

Of a thousand grains of sand,

And none of whom know

What the other grains are up to.

Did you enjoy your time at cambridge?

You studied under sir john merryday,

Legendary spymaster.

While he was at cambridge,

He turned dozens of kgb,

Stasi, and guoanbu agents.

We think you'’re one of them.

A double agent working for mi6.

What an extraordinary idea.

What does mi6 want with a chinese figure skater?

Look, you people should really consider writing fiction.

Oh, thank god you'’re all right.

They went after dao. They wanna kill him.

We put out a bulletin alert. I'’m sure we'll find him.

Dad thinks dao is some kind of spy.

What? I don'’t believe it.

He'’s a good guy, working for people'’s freedom.

I have to take this.

Kessler.

You know, your father is a good guy who works for freedom.

[Zoey]: he used to be, maybe. These days he'’s cynical and paranoid.

Well, his job doesn'’t help.

Every day, he sees the worst people can do to one another.

Dao used your computer.

We'’ll need to examine it.

Not without a warrant.

Zoey.

This is a refugee centre.

It'’s supposed to be safe from government spying.

Obviously our investigation will be strictly confined to yuan dao'’s computer activity.

And she'’s supposed to believe you?

If dao hasn'’t done anything wrong, he won'’t have anything to hide.

Just so you know,that'’s the same argument china uses to pry into people'’s lives.

[Computer beeps]

This kid has major proxy-server kung fu.

In the past 20 seconds,

I followed him through amsterdam, singapore,

Sao paolo, and johannesburg.

Whoa!

Dead end.

What is that? Onion router?

Uh, peels away the user'’s identity one layer at a time.

Our skater'’s a geek?

What, muscle definition

And geekhood are mutually exclusive?

We'’re not all mouse potatoes.

Oh, he switched to psiphon.

Psiphon?

Yeah, it'’s an open-source web proxy to bypass content filtering.

Wow!

What?

He hacked into the surveillance cameras of sweetwater systems.

Sweetwater designed that softwarei mean, it'’s supposed to be uncrackable.

Some kind of industrial espionage?

Uh-oh.

Check out the directory.

He'’s also disabled sweetwater'’s state-of-the-art patented security system.

As of... 11:09,

The premises have been completely unprotected.

Run the surveillance feeds.

We'’ve had a security breach at sweetwater systems. Possible robbery in progress.

There, stop. Zoom in.

There'’s waldo.

Or should that be wal-dao.

Who'’s that with him?

Is that...

Charlotte?

You bugged zoey'’s apartment.

I would never do that.

You staged your defection to gain access to major kessler'’s home.

I am not a spy.

Sure you are.

We'’re just not sure for whom.

Was it you who bugged my apartment?

Why must you take everything so personally?

I'’m not playing games, charlotte. Someone shot at my daughter!

Now tell me what you'’re doing here.

I boarded a plane the minute i heard yuan dao had escaped his handlers.

Mi6 has been trying to recruit him for years.

How can you say you'’re not a spy? You were caught red-handed!

I wasn'’t spying.

Mi6 would love to get its hands on sweetwater'’s latest technology;

So would china, for that matter.

China doesn'’t need to steal it.

Sweetwater'’s already selling it to them.

Wait a minute, what technology are you talking about?

There are hundreds of thousands maybe millions, of surveillance cameras in china

Sweetwater has quietly developed software that can cross-reference closed-circuit

Feeds with a biometric database

So that anyone can be traced at any time.

That'’s not surveillance, that'’s science fiction.

Under the wassenaar arrangement,

Canadian companies can'’t sell surveillance technology to police states.

It'’s never enforced. Politicians don'’t care, not in this economy.

I thought maybe, if we proved what sweetwater is doing,

We could make people care.

I'’ve been working with shun li for months

To get yuan dao outta china.

We'’d planned his defection for the olympics but three days ago

Another hacktivist was arrested in beijing. A hacktivist?

Chinese hackers who open up internet portals to the west.

Holes in the great firewall of china.

The authorities find the holes, patch them up

It'’s an endless game of cat-and-mouse.

You put zoey in danger.

I'’m sorry about that.

I intended to collect dao at ics. I didn'’t think he and zoey would go on the lam

So you planted the bug.

I thought dao might surface at your flat.

If he did, i needed to know so i could make contact.

So yuan dao is not a spy.

Charlotte: no, quite the opposite.

He'’s an amazing young man, you know.

His father was killed at tiananmen square,

And his mother died in prison.

He grew up in a state orphanage until he showed enough skating talent to get out

Along the way, he developed extraordinary computer skills,

Which he'’s employed at great personal risk

In the cause of liberty.

A good guy, working for freedom.

Yeah, i'’ve read about you guys, uh, the white dragons.

Warrior geeks from the shaolin school of hack-mastery.

May i offer you some advice?

Yeah.

You should check your system for wraith-net.

Wha...What'’s that, is that like ghostnet?

Uh, malicious code from china.

Infiltrated computers in 103 countries.

Uh, took remote control of the computers mics

And cameras, and turned them into bugs.

Wraith-net'’s the upgrade.

Look for http get requests

With cgi-bin/222 in the string.

I write it down for you.

The chinese call it the golden shield.

It'’s an all-encompassing surveillance network

Incorporating speech and face recognition,

Closed-circuit cameras, smart cards,

And internet surveillance.

Which brings us to sweetwater systems.

Under cover of their fibre optic deal,they'’re about to sell china $50 million

Dollars worth of surveillance software.

Sweetwater'’s developed identiseek:

Face-recognition software

That works directly with surveillance cameras.

So that anybody can be found anywhere at any time.

My guys threw together a demonstration.

Check it out.

There'’s our agent...

And here is what pops up when she'’s located.

Jesus.

[Slade]: in a centralized surveillance network like china

Identiseek can track anyone in seconds.

We think sweetwater'’s already in talks with iran.

Well, what are we waiting for? Let'’s drop the hammer.

The world needs to wake up.

Let'’s do it.

[Dramatic music]

Well, congratulations.

In a recessionary climate,

You'’ve tarnished a thriving business,

Created a shitstorm in the press,

And alienated our fastest growing trade partner.

We do what we can.

And what does canada get out of it?

A figure skater.

Yuan dao can stay?

[Holland]: oh yes, minister fleischer loves her skating.

I mean, he can'’t compete, of course,

But he'’s signed up to help coach the olympic team

In vancouver.

What the hell is this?

[Sigh]

God, would you look at that tie?

[Dooropens]

What'’s going on?

I'’ve only got a couple of weeks till exams.

I thought i'’d spend them with mom.

Zoey...

I applied to do my master'’s at u.b.c.

So you can be with dao.

We'’ll give it a shot. Can'’t hurt, right?

Oh, it can hurt.

Can'’t we talk about this?

It was just an experiment, right?

The father-daughter thing?

I thought it was pretty successful.

You couldn'’t believe in me.

It'’s okay, i get it.

I couldn'’t believe in you either.

It'’s that trust thing.

Can'’t we try again?

I don'’t know.

I love you, sweetheart.

So much.

Me too.

[Scared by tragially hip plays]

I'’m sorry, michael.

The two of you were so lovely together.

I should have trusted her instincts.

Hey, you'’ll have another chance.

Fathers and daughters have a long story. You have a lifetime to put things right.
