All language subtitles for The Champions S01E01 The Beginning 1

Come on, come on. Almost finished.

OK.

Let's move!

Come on! On the truck! Get a move on!

Come on! Come on!

Get on the truck!

I can't see them, but they can't be far behind!

So what? We only need a couple of minutes!

There they are!

Come on! Come on! Get a move on!

Down, down.

They must not take off. Destroy the plane!

They've hit us. They've hit us!

All right, all right, what happened?
Nothing, nothing. A lucky shot.

Not for us.

We're not gonna make it.

All right, ditch what you
can. Anything, everything!

Are we crashing? Are we gonna
crash? Come on, you can help.

Argh! Craig!

Thanks I'll do same for you one day!

Just get that stuff outta here!

Is it any better?

All right, forget it and close the door!

We gotta hope now.

Enough, enough! Close it.

How badly are we hit? Can you tell?

It's bad. Are we gonna get through?

Of course we are, Sharron.

No-one knows whether we're gonna make it, Sharron.

One thing's for sure - we're soon gonna find out.

Ah, come in, gentlemen. Have
you heard from them yet?

Yes, they took off from our base
in northern India late last night.

No, I mean about the actual job.

Well, even if they were on schedule,

that could only have taken
place within the last hour.

Yeah, well, I guess I am being kind of anxious.

With reason.

There has been no communique
suggesting the possibility of...

well, any difficulty?

Not as far as I know,

but Lucknow will advise the
moment they receive word,

and then either my people or their
contact will radio the local agency,

just as soon as they get a chance. Hm.

Well, Tremayne, I'm beginning
to feel confident. Mm.

Well, I wish I could share it, Colonel,

but I think I'd rather wait until
we've got samples of that bacteria

actually in our hands.

Answer my questions! Answer, answer!

Who are you reporting to?!

Answer!

Believe me, it will be easier for you if you talk.

Very well. There is only one way to
deal with an enemy of the people.

So... you want to save your
worthless life after all?

Then, tell us, where was the plane heading?

Lucknow.

Lucknow, in India.

Agh!

You fools!

Get him out! Get him out of here!

Hello. This is an emergency. Put
me through to Headquarters at once!

They, er, are the right ones, I hope.

So do I.

Don't worry, those are what we came for.

They don't look much, do they? Maybe not.

But if the information's correct,

then that small canister is worth
more than ten plagues of locusts.

Are all your missions like
this? Not all of them, no.

When Tremayne asked me to... to go with you,

I spent weeks wondering what it would be like.

Whether I'd be scared.

Too scared to be of any use.

Well, it wasn't like that at all.

What are you doing here, Sharron,

with a couple of hard-bitten
Nemesis operators like us?

I don't know.

A natural progression, I suppose,
from taking that course -

a bacteriologist.

Don't even know why I took it.

Perhaps because I can hardly pronounce the names!

Well, if you take a look at your file, and I have,

it seems you're trying to work through

every specialised course there is.

I suppose it does.

But then, you have to do something.

You start... in medicine, in my case,

perhaps just to fill in time.

But if there's nothing else... and you like it...

..you just go on.

He was killed a long time ago, you know.

That was on your file, too. Yes.
Does seem a long time ago now.

All right, so it's not my business.

Either you can talk about it or you can't.

I can't. It's as simple as that.

Nothing's simple, Sharron.
You must've been very young.

You'll marry again. Take my word for it.

Can I go up front?

Thanks.

We're going down faster. Yeah.

If the storm blew itself
out, we might have a chance.

Not a hope at that. Will our
people look for us, Craig?

I don't mean I'm concerned for myself.

I just thought they might find this.

Hm! That'd really be like looking
for a needle in a haystack, Sharron.

Look, if we crash and the snow keeps falling...

I forgot. They'd never find us.

Couldn't we fix the radio in
time? Give out our position?

Not a hope. Shot to pieces.

Anyway, we wouldn't have known who was listening.

Craig, look!

What do you see?

Just the ground.

All right, I'm taking us down!

Yeah? Get Sharron to the back of the plane.

Hang onto whatever you can. How long?

Couple of minutes. I'll try
and land her in a drift.

It's gonna be more luck than judgement.

Good luck. I'll see you, kiddo.

Get your head down!

You'll see. You'll see.

You're quite safe. You're quite safe.

Safe. Safe.

You're among friends.

Friends. Friends.

Friends. Friends.

OK, Tremayne, let's have it straight.

My operators collected the samples
of the bacteria you required,

but, unfortunately, things went wrong.

They were caught?

No, no, no. Our contact saw their plane take off.

It was hit by machine gun
fire, but it did get away.

Then, surely your operators have radioed in?

No, no, no. I assume their
radio was hit and damaged.

At any rate, they haven't reported,
and apart from the one bulletin,

we've not been able to reach our contact either.

In the circumstances,

his arrest seems rather more than a possibility.

When were they due to land back at Lucknow?

Five hours ago.

It's almost certain now that they've crashed.

Somewhere in the Himalayas.

What's your next move, Tremayne?

Well, there's little I can do, except wait.

"Wait"?! You do not seem to realise
the importance of the whole mission.

I think we all appreciate the
need to uphold international law.

Thank you. Nevertheless, you have little choice

but to send in other agents. I have every choice.

I did all I had to do.

I sent two men and a woman on this mission.

And they've failed. We don't know that!

We don't know anything!

All right, all right, you've
lost three of your people.

I'm sorry. We're all sorry!

But your office has a job to do, and
it's up to you to see they do it!

That's right. It's up to me.

I'm in charge of the Nemesis organisation.

I, and I alone, decide the
actions. Yes, and we want results!

If this business requires further
operatives, it will get them.

You accept that they have crashed.
But not that they're dead!

Now, in 24 hours, we'll reconsider the position.

24 hours wasted!

Have you organised a search?
What? Of an area that size?

The size of the area won't
deter our enemies, Tremayne.

Possibly not. Well, gentlemen, I've
nothing more to add at the moment.

I'll give you my decision this time tomorrow.

I still would like to know...
Tomorrow! Good day, gentlemen.

Wait here!

I have established contact
with Headquarters, Major.

Advise them that we are moving on to section five.

Move!

Hey... Hey.

Easy.

Craig. Are you OK?

Yes, I think so.

How long have I been out?

The light! Must've been a few hours.

The 7th...?

Two days. Perhaps it was damaged in the crash.

He's out cold, but I don't think he's badly hurt.

I'll see if some snow will do the trick.

Oh, he's coming round.

Good morning.

We made it.

Yeah, we made it.

Ah... Have to revise my opinion of your flying.

I don't know how he did it.

Crash like this, and not one of us even hurt.

I don't know about that. I
gashed my leg pretty badly.

That's the last thing I
remember. Yeah? Does it hurt now?

No, no, it doesn't. It must be cold.

Red with blood. I can see the... Stand up.

I beg your pardon? Stand up. You'll manage it.

If you say so.

You're right. What did you do, fix it?

Craig...

What is this?

Some kind of operation.

Some kind of operation.

Gold, I think. Craig, you told me to stand up.

You knew my leg...

You knew it'd be OK.

Yeah, I knew. I don't know how, but I knew.

Well, come on - you know something, don't you?

A little. At the time, I thought
I was dreaming or delirious.

From the beginning? I don't know the beginning.

But, after the crash... I came round in the snow.

Boy, did I hurt. My side...

There was an old man. From where?

I am telling you what I know, what I remember.

I was taken to a place.

The ceiling had lights.

I didn't see the two of you
there, but you must've been there.

There was a jet of light.

A flame. I don't know. They were using it on me.

Next thing I know, I came round in the snow

only a couple of minutes ago.

I think I can add something.

Do you remember when we were coming down, Craig?

I saw something from the window, pointed.

You said you saw the ground. I know.

But I saw a city. At least, I thought I did.

I didn't say anything at the time.

I figured it was just what I was hoping to see.

But from what you've just said...
A city? An unknown city, up here?

Sure, why not? World's a great big place.

Lost civilisation in Tibet.

Storytellers have been
dreaming about it long enough.

Why shouldn't it be true?

Sharron, you better check those
bugs again. We gotta get moving.

Just like that? Yeah, just like that.

We started a job, now we got
a chance of finishing it.

Craig, whatever's happened here,
more than our bodies are patched up.

You know that. I know we haven't
talked about it, but we all know.

Something's happened.

We're different. We're... very different.

We'll finish the job we started out to do.

What about us? We're on borrowed time anyway.

We should've died here. Maybe we did die.

We can't just leave it like that. No?

No! We've got to look for
these people, find their city.

Why? Have you changed your mind?

Don't you think these bacteria
experiments by the Chinese

count for anything any more?

Craig's right. The UN need this information badly.

Like he said, we should be
dead. Wouldn't have got it then.

I know what you're saying. I knew the score.

I... I was prepared to die if we
had to, but this isn't the same.

We're important.

What happened here comes
first. We'll still get back.

Are they OK? OK, Richard, you do what you want.

Sharron and I made up our minds.
All right, you go. No more argument.

Maybe we'll meet up later. I'm sure we will.

I'll see you, kiddo. Goodbye, Richard.

Goodbye, Sharron.

Hey... good luck.

Inform Headquarters. We've found them!

How's it goin'? Never felt better. Not even tired.

Me too. Fantastic.

You know, Richard was right about one thing.

Something did happen to us. Something very special.

No sign of them, Major.

From the look of the tracks, they've split up.

They cannot be far ahead. You
two, follow the single tracks.

The rest of you, come with me!

What is it? Have you heard something?

No, no. I don't think so.

Just the sudden awareness of danger.

Don't know. Can't explain.

You felt nothing? No.

Congratulations.

You've led us quite a chase
for the last three days,

but it's all over now.

We cannot wait any longer! He's right, Tremayne.

We're being very patient,

but unless you act now, it'll be too late!

Tremayne here. Still no word?

Yes, yes, I know you'd have called me.

Right, thank you. Goodbye.

Well, it seems there is no more hope.

Very well, gentlemen. I'm
ready to make new arrangements

to try and get samples of that bacteria.

Thank you.

Craig, what's wrong?

I nearly fell.

Where's Richard? Is Richard with us?

Craig...

Strange feeling, Sharron. Strange.

Do you think Richard could be in trouble?

I mean, perhaps this is another
side to what's happened to us.

Keep moving. Quickly! We want a rest.

No time. We're already behind schedule!

Move, move!

Behind schedule for what?
Our collection, I suppose.

They'll probably send a helicopter
to a border post to pick us up.

If they're prepared to go to that much trouble,

they must be sure of making us talk.

What's the matter?

You never know when a game
leg's gonna come in handy.

Gonna have to try something soon.
Otherwise, gonna be too late.

But what? They're armed. They
never take their eyes off us.

Best way would be to try to
pick 'em off one at a time.

Maybe I'll get 'em to leave me behind.

But they might kill you.

Yeah, they might.

Gently, gently.

Yes... you fell.

Who are you?

Who are you?

I've been following you for a long time.

I would've stopped you climbing,
but I was afraid of startling you.

You haven't answered my question. Who are you?

Who am I? That doesn't matter. Doesn't matter?

You want to know about my people?

Our civilisation has run parallel with your own.

We have chosen to follow a
different path, that is all.

I was searching for your city.

For your answers to your question, it is...

it is quite near, but taking
you there would prove nothing.

You and your friends must return to your own world.

I shall return to mine.

Well, if we're to continue our
separate ways, why did you help us?

The alternative was to leave you all to die.

Maybe that would've been simpler.

Then you would have had no
questions, no-one to look for you,

and no-one to discover your secret.

I think our secret is safe.

Because of our gratitude? Perhaps.

Well, isn't it possible that if we
safely get back to our own country,

we'll tell our story and other
people will search for you

and eventually find you?

Before you go back to your own world,

you will discover what has
really happened to you here.

The changes that have been
made in you and your friends.

And then you will see why we do not have that fear.

Changes? What changes?

You must have realised already that
there is some difference in you.

Even though you're not quite
sure what the difference is.

That expression gives me my answer.

Our treatment did more than mend your bodies.

It improved them.

It transformed the efficiency
of your minds and senses.

You have unbelievable strength.

You have the power to see and hear
far more than you can imagine.

There has been a sharpening of your
reason and of all your faculties.

You look doubtful,

but you will come to realise the
truth of what I'm telling you.

But, remember, these talents are not automatic.

You must learn to use them just
as children learn to use theirs.

Moreover, you are not infallible.
You will make mistakes.

In fact, you are still human.

Superhuman, perhaps,

but not infallible, and not immortal.

And the gold scars...?

They will disappear quickly and completely.

Do these gifts include telepathy?

Sometimes, a person is born
with a gift, as you call it.

These gifts can cover many fields.

You and your friends are now
able to receive all of them.

On my way here, I felt my
friends were... in danger.

And they were. I saw a picture, a... vision.

You saw the truth.

Then, I must go.

Think over what I've said.

And try to use your gifts as you believe

we would want you to use them.

You are not far from your
friends. You know where they are?

Only that they were travelling in approximately

the same direction as yourself,
towards the far peaks,

where one country lies beside the other.

Strange, how you divide your lands.

But then, like yourself, there are
many things I do not understand.

How can I thank you? By keeping our secret.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

What is it?

No!

No! Keep moving!

We cannot afford the luxury of passengers!

Craig! Craig!

Oh, look at it!

Who'd you expect - the abominable snowman?

What are you doing here? Taking in the air.

What happened to you? Sharron
and I tried something.

- Guess what?
- It didn't work.

You badly hurt? I don't know. It laid me out.

Bullet must've just grazed my side.

Well, what's it like?

Hm? It's practically healed up.

You're a riot

It's practically healed up.

That is impossible.

You'd be amazed what is possible
now, Craig. I met the old man.

Sure, it only grazed my side

Don't see anything supernatural about that, do you?

I've already been told we're not immortal.

I don't know what you and Sharron tried,

but you've no idea what advantages you had.

All right, first things first,
we gotta go after Sharron.

They got several hours' head start.
Yeah, it won't be enough. Come on.

I fell from this rock, 20, 30 feet, onto a ledge.

The patrol. Is Sharron with them?

She's stopped.

I think she can hear us.

Sharron...

'Sharron, can you hear me? This is Craig.'

All right, now, act normal.

'No, they can't hear us.'

Now, look - Richard is here,
and we're gonna make a move,

but we need your help.

'Touch your face if you understand.'

It's fantastic.

Now, when you get to the next clearing,

walk slower and try and spread them out.

Then, when we make our jump,

hit the snow and keep your pretty head down.

I hope our reflexes are as
good as you say they are.

Take cover!

If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.

You better check those bugs again.

I guess the old man was right.

Yes, he was. Just in time.

Come on. Let's go home.

Thank you. We do not have to
tell you what your success means.

And a thank you seems totally inadequate.

We're glad it worked out as it
did. For more reasons than one.

Gentlemen... And Miss Macready. Madame.

Now, I'd like a word with
you three before you leave.

What can we do for you, sir?

Just tell me the whole story.

Nothin' to tell.

A crash in the mountains, five days in the snow,

capture, a trek back without any
proper supplies or equipment,

and "nothing to tell"?

Well, when you put it that way,
I guess we had a little luck.

Yes, yes, we did.

OK... Run along.

We'll never be able to keep this
secret. We'll have to tell Tremayne.

Tell him what? Well, tell him... tell him...

Sharron, we don't even know
what these powers are ourselves.
