Original subtitles

Your behavior has become erratic. Leave Vodka Rodman alone.

Previously on The Border. I did not shoot Rodman.

Someone else was up on that roof.

What do you want me to do? I want you to decide whether your true love lies with

your country or with Mike Kepler.

Who do you think Darnell's talking to? Is he?

No.

Away. He's already frozen you out.

Where else are you going to go?

Did you know he had access to ceases?

Looks like there's a lot we don't know about there now.

I heard it's

like totally high grade, right?

Primo heroin, shit like cut above.

Yeah, it came in from Africa.

Yeah? Whoever brought it in didn't fill up their customs forms.

That's him.

Little one's the man. Other two's muscle.

You sure?

I'll pay money now.

Do you need anything else?

I could show you some other guys.

No, not today, kid. We're not street level on this. We're just out to the big

fish. I'll talk to the cops.

So look, get yourself something to eat with us, okay?

A sandwich or something?

Ricky, promise me.

I promise.

The buyers make contact.

And the product goes up right on cue.

There's our boy right there.

Whoever's in the car is the seller.

Wait for it. We need to see the exchange.

What's she doing?

Sign up.

is importing massive amounts of heroin and you let him slip through your

fingers. We got one other buyer.

Let's go.

Let's

play.

This woman, she was with one of the suppliers.

She might be connected.

And Darnell?

Got the one knocked out of me that emerged waiting for some x -ray.

Look, there's been a misunderstanding. I don't know any of those men.

Well, why were you talking to them?

They invited me for a drink.

Honestly, I made them offer an hour beforehand.

I'm here on business. Do you understand?

I've got nothing to do with any drugs.

My God, if I had any idea.

I have a fiancé.

If Richard finds out about this... Our friends at 14 Division told us you're

running a package out of Parkdale. You got the whole southwest side covered.

I ain't saying shit to you, man. You seem to be under the impression that you

got rights here.

Your hotel was downtown. How'd you get to Blur West?

Cabby suggested it.

I like to dance.

I was looking for something different, something not quite so Toronto.

Oh,

my

God.

Who is this man?

I don't know. You don't know his name. Yeah, I know how it looks, but you have

to believe me. I was huddled, and I had way too much vodka, and... I was.

I knew him for all of 20 minutes.

You're reaching out to a new supplier?

The Vietnamese aren't going to like that.

We're going to have a new war? Is that what this is about?

I said I ain't talking, asshole.

You're about this far from getting your mouth washed out, and I don't use soap.

Yeah, that's true. He doesn't.

Why'd you follow him into the alley?

I wasn't. I was going for a cigarette.

I had no idea. I'm not a criminal.

I'm just bloody stupid.

You just sit tight for a moment, okay?

Hey, I want to make a phone call.

She could have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Wrong nightclub, wrong table, wrong moment to go for a cigarette.

It happens.

Put her in her cell.

See if her story holds up in the morning.

We know very little about these bad guys. Next to nothing, really.

No name, no entry record, no face match on any of the databases.

What did you find on the woman?

Abby Mitchell, from Liverpool.

She works at Lloyd's. She comes here once a month for meetings.

She's incredibly normal.

Abnormally normal. Which in itself is actually kind of suspicious.

Also, she's a Brit and she has good teeth, so that's not right.

Well, what about the car?

Hmm. The Beamer. Yeah. Tiny little raisin and a big bowl of disappointment.

Place registered to a Martin Kang.

I got the address.

You two check it out. Moose, go back to your informant.

Oh, I don't think Ricky can tell us anymore.

Do it anyway.

Let's try and run this tighter than last night.

Keep digging.

Oh, by the way, speaking of digging, turning over rocks, uncovering secrets,

I was... How's Darnell?

He's fine.

Good. I was just... I worry about him.

Anytime a member of our team gets hurt, it's... He's still a member of our...

You know what? I'm going to keep digging.

Hey, beautiful.

I'm looking for Ricky.

She's in her room. You have any for me? Uh, next time.

Ricky? Hey, it's Moose.

Oh.

This wasn't an O .D.

What was it?

See the rash here?

Also on her arms.

Some kind of virus?

We found toxins in her bloodstream.

It's called a hot shot.

It's poison heroin.

So it's revenge killing? Gang members found out she was informing on them?

That's what I thought, but the thing is, Ricky's not the only body.

Three more DOAs came in, all within the last two hours.

All with the same markings.

Since we got ourselves a funky package, this could get bad.

How bad?

Stuff's toxic, so there's hundreds of addicts all over the city.

This shit is everywhere.

Metro drug squad is setting up a joint test. We'll coordinate with Homicide,

Public Health, RCMP.

We're looking for a pattern.

Determine how the drugs are getting into the country and stop it.

Did you find the beamer? Dead end.

Same model, same color even.

No plate.

Owner didn't even realize they'd been stolen.

I got something.

Database Toronto General.

Patient confidentiality is important.

Not to me.

What is it?

Blood work just came in.

Toxins are a match for the DOAs, but this one is... Yes! We got a live one.

Live junkie. We have a live junkie.

Name's Henry Waller. He's in isolation.

Great, Layla. Get over there.

Maggie, let's get Abby Mitchell back in the room.

Got it.

I demand to call the British High Commission.

As soon as we're started. I demand to call my solicitor, not to mention my

family. My God, we're in the third world.

I need to be sure you're still... Well, I'm not saying anything more. Do you

understand me? Not one word until I can make a phone call to totally outweigh

this.

Let's take this from the top.

Why are you in Canada?

You'll find I'm very patient.

I told you.

For work.

Henry Quala. Twelve years old.

He's in a coma.

Twelve?

Is that his sister?

A friend, she says.

Tell you what else, I don't think this kid's a user.

No tracks, no dopamine bloodstream.

How did he get poisoned?

I checked him against the DOA.

Different manifestation.

He's got respiratory failure, partial paralysis. I think he inhaled the

He's also got contact lesions on his hands, so he may have handled them as

You okay to go in there? Sir, one more thing.

Kid has no health card.

Looks like it's illegal.

It's okay.

We're with ICF.

Immigration Customs Security.

What's your name?

Akilah McGimby.

You're a friend of his?

We're not here to deport him. He lives with us. He works for my father.

He's been exposed to a toxic substance.

Do you know if Henry used drugs? No, of course not. He just became sick. It was

out of nowhere.

What does your father do? He has a shop.

He sells flowers.

Your friend here must have come in contact with the drug through somewhere.

Could he be working? No.

Is a courier maybe cutting for a dealer?

It's impossible.

You ever seen him hanging around? I said it's impossible.

Let me do this.

Just give me a sec.

The hospital doesn't want him here.

They say when he is stable, he will be deported.

I want you to contact me if Henry comes out of his coma.

Okay?

Keela.

Call this woman.

She's a lawyer.

She can help him.

I'm starting to think she's telling the truth.

She's too still.

For someone under that much stress.

Have you spotted any tells?

No, that's just it.

That's eye contact, touching her face with her hands.

She's doing everything right.

She's note perfect.

You're saying she knows how to lie.

Even her fidgeting seems calculated.

I need a reason to hold this woman.

Everybody's got something.

Unpaid parking tickets or a late video charge or they belong to the Michael

Bublé fan club, right?

Well, this woman is pristine. I mean, everything about her screams false, but

just can't prove it.

We're closed. Come back tomorrow.

Immigration and Customs Security.

Just take a second.

No, no, he does not work here. Are you sure?

Henry Koala.

I don't know this person. I never met him. Your daughter told us he worked

Well, it's not true. She's mistaken.

Yeah, what's back here?

Nothing. This boy, Henry, he's extremely sick. He's in a coma. Were you aware of

that?

No.

Someone's been importing toxic drugs, and we think it's... I know nothing

any drugs.

Look, my daughter told you a story to help her friend. It has nothing to do

me.

Where do your flowers come from?

Ontario, mostly.

Some from South America.

Africa?

Sometimes. Not really.

We can come back here with a warrant.

Flowers are shipped in these containers?

You must leave now, okay?

I am closed. Please, you have to go.

He's lying.

Think the heroin's coming in with the flowers?

Yeah, could just bring a leak in transit.

Maybe the boy picked up some residue when he unpacked it.

I feel bad for his daughter.

She has no idea.

Don't be so sure.

You don't trust anyone, do you?

Hell of a way to live.

Yeah. I get by.

I looked under every stone.

I went back three generations.

I got nothing.

Let's get her out of her soul.

Ten o 'clock, you see him?

I got him.

He looks pretty upset.

What is that?

The guy on the right. The big one.

He look familiar to you?

That's the guy from the nightclub supplier.

Let's go.

The meeting's breaking up.

That way.

Go. Go!

I said stop!

I don't believe your story,

Miss Mitchell.

I can't hold you any longer without cause.

You're free to go. We called you a cab.

We're not completely uncivilized.

I'll be making an official complaint.

I've no intention of letting... He won't get away with it.

Hello, Charlotte.

Is that your name today?

Hello, Donald.

You know this woman? We work together.

Where?

In Africa.

She's an agent.

Her name is... Charlotte Bate.

If Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service.

She didn't break her cover. We had no idea.

Yes, it was news to the minister as well.

Officially, she's not even in the country.

You're going to have to follow protocol and let her go.

I'd like to know what the hell she's up to first.

Well, good luck with that, Major.

British intelligence isn't fond of sharing.

Who's in the car?

Who are you working with?

How are the drugs coming into the country?

Where are they coming from?

You realize you're looking at multiple counts of manslaughter here?

That adds up to a nice long stretch of jail time. You up for that, bud?

Well, of course you help us.

Let's take this from the top.

Who you're working with.

Who was in the car.

What do you have stumbled upon in your enthusiasm, Major?

It's a brand new player in the international drug trade.

Their product comes in from East Africa, primarily Kenya.

They're already well established in Western Europe and are in the process of

setting up distribution networks throughout North America.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because I wasn't sure if I could trust you.

I'm still not sure.

We have your friend.

Philip Angara.

I'm afraid he's useless. Sorry.

His muscle thick as two short planks.

The flower man on your left. It's a pipeline.

The product comes in with his flower shipments.

Strictly bottom rung. So far, you're 0 for 2.

What about this, ma 'am?

Any progress?

No?

Hmm.

I'm going to give you something for free, Major. In the spirit of

cooperation.

May I?

Hey, hey, back off, Emma Peel.

That's MI6.

Slade. This is your target.

Chiamber Ubuya.

Regional manager, as it were, of East Africa Heroin, Inc.

He's in town to personally set up distribution.

I tracked him here from Amsterdam.

Quite the slippery fellow.

He was in the car.

Yeah, I was so close.

And then along came the Keystone cops.

What about the toxins?

I'm sorry?

The poison.

You don't know about that.

The latest package was toxic.

To date, we have 11. 12 now.

Walt did.

Some cock up in Kenya.

They don't find it locally.

Conditions are primitive, to say the least.

This Obuya, is he still in town?

Respects.

I've given you his name and his photo.

What more could you possibly need?

Continued cooperation.

Tempting. You are rather appealing.

But I prefer to work alone.

In a pleasure, Major.

Glad to see you again, Darnell.

I, uh... I saw you in action last night.

Do hope you're not losing your touch.

You okay?

Charlotte Bates can't be trusted.

Why not?

She, uh, almost got me killed once.

Let's just say she plays by her own rules.

You'd know all about that.

All right, let's get this done.

Sample the flowers, swab the counters, and don't forget to check the drain.

No, Mugambe.

The flower man has left the greenhouse.

Where the hell did she come from?

I've got eyes on McGanday. He's at the hospital.

What are you doing here?

Boy needs an advocate.

He's in a coma and the hospital wants him gone.

Can I help you? We're here for Akilah's father.

Why? He's been importing poison heroin. If you could stay out here, please.

Mr. McGamba, you're going to have to come with us.

What are you doing?

I assume you've got evidence. Yeah, you're under arrest for importing

under Section 6 of the Controlled Drug and Substance Act. There's been a

mistake. It's okay, Akilah. That's impossible.

All right, let's go.

You know, Gwari.

Please, do something.

It's all right. I'll follow him to ICI. Your father's in trouble, Akilah. He's

been importing heroin. We believe it's how Henry became sick.

Does he unpack the containers? That part of his job. Akilah, you don't have to

answer that. My father would never do this.

is a good man.

I know.

I am innocent.

I've done nothing at all.

What have you got?

We found traces of the toxic heroin on the flowers, in the containers,

and around the drains.

We have enough to charge you right now with trafficking and multiple counts of

manslaughter.

But... We're prepared to talk.

We're prepared to listen.

You lead us to him, to Abuya, and we'll do what we can.

I don't know him. I've never met him. Mr. McGamby, you need to tell us the

truth. I am telling you the truth. You lied about the boy, and now? Because you

wish to deport him. We're not after Henry. We are after this man. I told

I do not know him.

Any offer we have to make will not stay on the table for long.

Can we talk?

Just give me some time. I think he's terrified.

He's been smuggling heroin.

Allegedly, Mike.

And it's possible this Obuya hasn't given him a choice.

Just let me talk to him.

You don't have to do this. I just want to make sure you get in okay.

Should that be open?

Stay here.

That word, what does it say?

Swahili. It means be afraid.

The

goats

are in your apartment.

I can't.

Your daughter's fine.

We have an agent on her.

Mr. McGenvey, you need to start talking.

It's a message from a boy to remind me.

He told me if I don't obey, he will

kill my daughter.

Immunity from prosecution.

Protection for Aquila and citizenship for Henry.

And in return?

I will bring you to Abuya.

How?

He will call me today on my mobile.

A shipment is arriving tomorrow.

He will let me know at what time to have it ready.

He picks it up in person.

He comes to the shop.

Always in person.

He trusts no one.

We can recommend clemency, that's it.

Protection for the daughter, visa for the boy.

A goat's heart for when you

just can't say it with flowers.

What if Obuya knows we made him?

He'll take the risk.

He's not going to walk away from 200 grand worth of product.

Hey, keep on talking.

As long as you can.

Hello. Did you get the gift I left for you?

Yes. Thank you.

I appreciate the sentiment.

Where are you right now?

In the shop.

I am in the shop.

What can I do for you?

Are you there?

Sir, are you there?

I'm making a change, Willis.

I'll pick up my flowers at the market tomorrow.

Can I ask?

The flowers, they are not healthy.

These ones will be fresh.

Don't worry.

They're okay.

I'll see you at the market.

Two o 'clock.

Have a tour on Saturday.

Excuse me.

Do you have a visitor?

I thought you worked alone.

I do.

So this is what, a social call?

I see you have the flower, ma 'am.

Well done.

Do you mind if I turn in?

Are you asking me to share information?

I imagine there's to be a meeting of some kind.

Do you have a location?

Michael, I already witnessed you bungling one op. I'm only trying to save

second humiliation.

That's generous of you.

I have something for you.

Present.

A complete dossier on Tiamba Umboya.

His activities in Kenya.

The location of his poppy fields, refining plant, what growers are

the pipeline.

All of which you're going to need to know because, of course, once you get to

him, you're going to need to be able to keep him.

Uh -uh.

The location?

Tell you what.

Once we get him, I'll give you a call.

Oh, you can call me anytime.

Kat?

We'll protect your father, Akilah.

Try not to worry.

Henry's mother.

She was my father's friend.

He made a promise to her. He would look after Henry.

He would keep him safe.

Henry has no one else.

I want to see my father. Can I see him?

Grade 5 book report.

Pure Wikipedia.

Meanwhile, I did some actual research.

Now, I'm not what you'd call a fan of chemistry, per se. There was an

unfortunate high school incident involving a beaker of acid in my

brown pant, cord, actually.

What have you got?

Exhibit A.

Dimethylbipyridiniumdichloride. It's a biologin, a systemic herbicide used in

the past by the Kenyan government to eradicate poppies.

And...

It's almost identical to the toxic chemical found in the heroin. They

bioengineered the molecule.

Change a couple letters, and now you have a new compound, one that is ultra

-lethal to humans.

Now, exhibit B.

A dead junkie.

Just like all the other dead junkies.

Identical symptoms.

Massive respiratory failure, skin rash.

shutdown of internal organs, except for one tiny detail. This one didn't kick

off in the GTA.

The photo was taken five weeks ago in a rural hospital outside Nairobi.

The MSF claimed that over 100 deaths were covered up by the Kenyan Interior

Ministry. You want to know what the kicker is?

These are not heroin addicts. These are agricultural laborers, all of whom

worked in known poppy fields.

Kenyans have been spraying their poppies. And, in the process,

heroin. And killing their workers.

How could you do this to us?

These men are drug dealers. They're monsters.

I'm sorry, Aquila.

You have thrown everything away. My life. Henry's life.

Forgive me. I did not wish to hurt him or you.

I'm so sorry.

Papa! Why are you doing this?

Why doesn't he tell her the truth?

They threatened to kill her.

He wants to save her the worry.

She's his daughter.

He doesn't want her to live in fear.

Thought may have failed on that one.

We'll be setting up on the north side of Front Street.

The market's located outside the north building.

The stalls form a corridor that wrap around the southwest corner extending

into the courtyard.

Three possible access routes.

We'll have a team at each end and here to the north.

The Gemby stall is at this end here.

This is where we expect the meat to take place.

He'll have the product in a black duffel bag on the ground under the table.

A boy will have his guys with some minimum three targets.

Mike's got a range of three to four feet, so try and stay close.

Yes, okay. You're going to be fine. Just keep breathing.

Try not to sweat.

What the crack?

What's wrong?

Interference. There's another...

Wow.

Is it dusty in here?

When was the last time the cleaners were in?

The flash keys Charlotte gave you?

Double duty.

Pop this end open.

Like I said, she plays by her own rules. I want them to sweep the entire

building. We're on it. Every paperclip.

He's out.

Floating about.

Thank you.

Okay, Willis.

Wait.

Look at me.

Are you being careful?

Yes.

Be careful, Willis.

Flowers are very delicate.

Especially the young ones.

They are easily crushed.

Okay, give me the bag.

I see it!

Get on the ground!

Get down!

Don't do it!

Get on the ground! Move!

Okay, easy.

Easy. Okay, easy.

Easy.

Shit! Just learn!

Get a third -party shooter!

That way. See what you can find.

We need help here!

I caught the gunfire. One of the bodyguards.

God damn it.

Tell my daughter. Don't talk.

Tell her I'm sorry.

What do you think?

If you were the shooter, how would you set up?

You got something to say to me?

Come with me.

Slate traced the doctor's security tape.

I know you shot Vodka Rodman.

Are you making a formal accusation?

Who do you work for, Darnell?

I .C .S.

Who else?

You weren't thinking clearly up on that roof.

Your emotions took over. You weren't even covering your tracks.

Not for you, anyway.

If you pull that trigger, you never let it go.

You're a soldier, trained to kill inside the lines.

So, you were protecting me.

If you went down, so would the squad.

Anesthesis had nothing to do with this.

I acted alone for the good of my country.

That's my training.

Like Charlotte Bates.

I think you'll find there's nobody quite like Charlotte.

You sure you don't want me to... It's okay.

I'll do it.

Boss?

Can I show you something?

Last piece of the puzzle.

I took a little walk through the Kenyan government network.

There are security protocols.

A total donkey con.

The herbicide I showed you, it was manufactured by a British agrochemical,

which has contracts with the British government.

Which initiated the spraying program in Kenya.

A joint venture.

So, if I was the British foreign secretary and my government was

the death of hundreds of Kenyans, And there was a drug smuggler out there who

could blow the whistle.

You'd want to tie up some of the sass.

Did you pick the lock or bribe the doorman?

I'm sorry about the flower man.

I've added him to my list.

Of?

People I should pray for.

Did I ever start to pray?
