All language subtitles for Echo.8.2024

- Don't fail the mission.

- Don't dwell in the past.

Don't dream of the future.

The present is now.

And what a glorious gift it is.

- What did you say?

- They should pay you overtime for the extra hours you worked.

- They do.

- That's good to hear.

- In other news,

the number of missing persons is rising,

16 including Cabramatta and Fairfield,

known hotspots of minor criminal activity.

The Australian Federal Police have become desperate

and are enlisting the help of the ASIO

to help solve the 216-

- I just don't want people to take advantage of you.

Mrs. Ba's son is getting married.

You remember Mrs. Ba, don't you?

The woman that lives down the street.

She used to babysit Anna when she was a baby.

You'll never believe what she told me.

She said the man in the house opposite hers is in something deep.

Apparently, he borrowed money off loan sharks or something.

Maybe you should pick it up.

- When's dad coming home?

- I don't know.

Maybe soon.

- You said that an hour ago.

- I did?

- Anna.

You know how hard your father works.

We have to support him.

I was saving this for your birthday.

But since you've got such a long face today,

maybe you could take a little peek.

- I love it.

- How long have you been standing there?

- Six minutes and 30 seconds.

- Okay.

That's not creepy at all.

- How were they?

First day of training is always daunting.

- You know how it is.

A bunch of crybabies and a couple of troublemakers.

Do you remember your first day?

- I try not to think about it.

- Oh, wait.

That's right.

You were definitely a crybaby.

- What?

Troublemaker all the way.

I am bad to the bone, baby.

- Is that your go-to pick-up line?

Because you might want to work on it.

- Works every time. - Really?

- No one's said no yet.

- Careful.

Your cockiness will get you killed one day.

- Do you?

- What?

- Remember when you first got here?

- Honestly, it's one giant blur.

- Then what do you remember?

- I remember training,

learning how to fight, using a gun.

All that jazz.

I remember...

- What?

- Kicking your ass.

- Really? 'Cause I remember it was the other way around.

- Do you?

- Get a move on, you two.

Death waits for no one.

Good luck.

- We don't need luck.

- Do you think those kids know what they're getting into?

- Not a clue.

- It's over, Chau.

I know everything.

The present is now.

- Get off me.

Ah, Mr. Guang.

I've got to admit I'm impressed.

You're either very brave for coming here alone,

or incredibly stupid.

- We don't want a repeat of last time, do we?

- As you can see,

I've got the upper hand,

so there won't be any last time.

For me, anyway.

- Do you have it?

- The money first.

Boys.

- You can count it if you want.

- I will.

- Where's the drive?

- Just so we're clear,

you do know you're getting the short end of the stick,

don't you?

Huh?

- You shouldn't have!

- I couldn't resist.

- Neither could I.

You didn't think I would come here alone,

did you?

- Oh, shit.

- I got it.

Stop it!

I will invoice you.

Bye, bye.

- Brother? Brother?

- Wow.

- I know, right?

That was brutal.

- I don't think I've ever had a beating that badly.

- Here.

- Where'd you get that?

- Found him. - Just then?

- On the side of the road.

Say hello to Mr. Bingley.

- Yeah, I'm not a cat person.

- I know.

- New mission. - Who's the target?

- Some mobster's wife.

- It's always some mobster's wife.

I was thinking

when you're ramming your knife into someone

or pulling the trigger,

do you ever think when it's going to be the last time?

- I don't think there is a last time for us.

Our life, it,

it's like living in a dark tunnel.

There's a light at the end, right?

But no matter how hard you try to run for it,

you're never going to reach it.

- You can always stop.

- Do you want to?

- Do you?

- Even if I wanted to,

what choice do we have?

- We always have a choice.

- Looks like someone else is looking for Mr. Bingley.

- I think your mama wants you.

Hey, come on.

Here.

There you go.

- Hey. Got kebabs here.

You hungry?

- You paying?

- Agent 5 is.

- You know he counts them.

- No, he doesn't.

- He does.

- What do you want?

- Agent 5,

it's been a while since we've had a proper chat.

- What can I say?

It's been busy with killings.

- Really?

You've never complained about too many killings before.

- There's a first for everything, isn't there?

- I assume you got my message.

Every channel's got it covered.

Media replays have been happening all day.

- I got a message, alright.

- You know what you have to do.

I want all your operatives on the target.

- My operatives aren't doing the job

just because another sector fucked up.

- Don't forget who you work for.

Besides, we can't afford any more mishaps.

The election is close.

You're the best agent in my division,

so I know you will get it done.

- No need for flattery.

- Duly noted.

Give the order.

- Beat you easily.

Just you, me, anytime.

Sorry we didn't get you anything.

- Whose wife is it?

San Remo's?

- No.

Actually, I need more time for this mission briefing.

- But you just texted-

- No "buts" about it.

You're both dismissed.

- Cool.

I knew it. Did you see the way he stared down my-

- Shh.

Didn't you see his face?

- Yeah, he really wanted my kebab.

- No one wants your kebab, Delta.

- Thanks.

- Seems like he's got something on his mind.

He's been acting weird lately.

- More so than usual?

- I'm serious.

- Look, it's probably all those international matters

he's attending to.

- International matters?

- Yeah, didn't you hear?

He's an international cyborg assassin.

- Yeah, I did hear about that.

Wait a minute.

If he's an international cyborg,

then why does he want your kebab?

- It's in his programming.

- Where you going?

- To the showers.

Wanna join?

- When hell freezes over, I'll think about it.

- Suit yourself.

- You done?

What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Hey, I get it.

I'm on it.

Don't worry. I'm on it.

- So,

what's your name?

- You shouldn't touch anyone without asking.

- Oh, babe.

It's girls like you that want it the most.

- You know, if you just go a little higher,

you'll hit the femoral artery.

- What are you?

A doctor?

- No. Just somebody who knows the major arteries in a body.

And more.

- Why'd you wanna know that?

- For a quick kill.

Or a slow one.

One swipe of this and you'll bleed out in minutes.

- She's nuts.

- Are you here with anybody?

- Um, uh, no, no.

No, not really.

- Wow.

Do you work out?

- I, uh, I, um, well, I mean, I...

- Hey, baby.

Where have you been?

Did you get the drinks?

- Hey, wait. Ladies, wait.

You know, you seemed a little jealous.

- You're not even supposed to be here. - Neither are you.

I'm just here to bring you back to base.

- Did Agent 5 send you?

- You know, I don't do everything Agent 5 tells me to.

- You're right.

We don't belong here.

- Hey, if you want,

we can grab a couple of beers,

have our own little party back at base.

- With what?

Pistol lights as lava lamps and guns as party poppers?

- Yeah.

Agent 5 would freak.

- You know, I don't even know why I came here tonight,

or all the other nights.

It's just,

I feel like-

- What?

- I just need to lose myself every now and then.

- You know, you still can.

Lose yourself into me.

- Okay. My creep radar just overloaded.

- Whatever. Shut up.

- No, seriously.

You broke my creep radar.

- Hey, bitch!

- Friends?

- What can I say? I'm a social butterfly.

- Hey, look.

Whatever my friend did, she's sorry.

- No, I'm not.

Three to one. I like the odds.

- Who's she looking at?

- You. I'm looking at you.

Wait a minute.

Which one of you came onto me?

All these thugs, they all look the same to me.

- That was me.

- Then I'm looking at you.

But seriously,

why don't you dye your hair or something?

A little bit of individuality won't hurt.

- Hey.

This isn't our mission.

- Don't worry. I won't spill any blood.

Just go wait in the car.

I got this.

- You got this, huh?

You know, this is the last time

I'm ever gonna follow you to the clubs.

- Good. Maybe next time I'll get some real action.

Joking.

- What's the problem?

- The mission could be too close to home.

- You think it never is?

There are countless expendables who had a mission

a little too close to home.

And let me tell you,

those that go through with it always come out stronger.

- If you want it done, I'll do it myself.

- That's not how it works.

Don't tell me you're losing faith in your operatives.

- Faith has nothing to do with it.

- Then get it done.

You really are my best agent.

But I don't want to consider you obsolete.

I really don't.

- Obsolete?

- I fear you're losing your way.

You stray from the path of the Zodiac.

- My path is clear as day.

- Good.

I have word she's staying at a friend's place.

I'll let you know when to run.

Find glory in all things.

- And all things in glory.

- Osman, Osman, Osman, Osman!

If you want justice,

vote for Osman!

If you want justice, vote for Osman!

If you want justice, vote for Osman!

If you want justice, vote for Osman!

Vote for Osman!

If you want justice. - Please vote for Mr. Osman!

Vote for Mr. Osman!

Mr. Osman promises to reopen the investigation

of the 216 code case.

- A lot of candidates make false promises

in order to gain the support of the public.

What makes you think this will be any different?

- Because Mr. Osman called me into his office

and he promised to do all he can in his power

to support T.R.A.N.G.

- And what is T-R-A-N-G,

for those at home unfamiliar with your organization?

- We are just a group of local people,

common people who have have lost our loved one

in the 216 code case.

My daughter-

- Hanh, the founder of T.R.A.N.G., the guerilla vigilante group

seeking justice for missing persons

was the target

of an assassination attempt two nights ago.

- One of ours?

- Yes.

But you know

I never let any of my operatives perform so poorly.

But the other agents are, however, sloppy.

- She's not dead?

- No.

Unfortunately, bullet vests

are easily attainable these days.

- Bullet vests?

- She's been targeted in the past.

Guess that type of thing really shake a person's core,

makes them wary of their surroundings.

- Wait. Why would they target some poor protest movement lady

in the first place?

They usually go for the more political kind.

- Or some mobster's wife.

- That too.

- Osman is a candidate of an upcoming election.

He openly supports T.R.A.N.G.

It could have been a move against him.

A warning.

- But why would they target her in such a public place

for the whole nation to see?

That's not how we operate.

It's usually private, quick and quiet.

- Yeah. But it's not always clean now, is it?

- Doesn't make sense.

- If you've been in this business as long as I have,

you start to understand that nothing makes sense.

- Trang.

- Truth & Rights Amongst Neighbors Guild.

- Sounds cheesy.

- Trang?

That's Vietnamese, isn't it?

- I wouldn't know.

I'm Japanese.

Now...

Goodbye.

Good work today.

And get the fuck out.

I'll let you know when we're leaving.

How about an old Vietnamese folklore?

Once up a time, there was a mother

who loved her little girl very much.

Although the girl was sometimes a little bit naughty,

her mother would do anything for her.

Sound familiar?

One day, the little girl wanted to go and play with her friends.

- Jessica and Carrie.

Remember when I asked you to go to the sleepover,

but you said no?

I didn't say no. I said...

- Not until you are a little bit older.

- When is that?

- Huh?

- A little bit older.

When you're bigger than me.

- That'll take a very long time.

- It's faster than you think.

Even if you grow older, you will always be my daughter.

Now, where was I up to?

- The little girl went out to play with her friends.

That's right.

The little girl went out to play.

Her mother told her to come back home before sundown.

The mother waited and waited, but her daughter never returned.

- Where did the little girl go?

The little girl had so much fun that she forgot to go home.

Her mother went out looking for her.

She searched high and low, but couldn't find her anywhere.

The mother went back home.

She cried.

She cried many tears.

She thought she would never see her little girl again.

- Why are you sad?

- I'm not sad.

I'm very happy.

- I love you, mom.

- I love you more.

- How much?

- To the moon and back.

- I can't stand this anymore.

Move out of the way.

- Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

- Let go of me.

- We can talk about this.

Do you still love me?

What about our family?

What about Anna?

What am I supposed to tell her?

I never thought you would change like this.

She just wants to find a sugar daddy.

You think just because she slept with you that she loves you?

Let me tell you about what a wife has to sacrifice.

I've sacrificed so much for this family.

What more do you want from me?

- I want a divorce.

- Honey.

Honey.

Please don't leave me.

Honey, I'm sorry. I will try harder.

- Move out of the way!

- Honey. Honey. - Move!

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I will try harder.

- Mommy.

- Careful.

You should be in bed.

- Couldn't sleep.

You?

- I never sleep.

- You know, in all the years I've known you,

I've never seen you like this.

- Like what?

- Tense.

- Do I seem tense to you?

- A little.

I mean, you almost slit my throat.

- I guess I did.

- The mission.

- What about it?

- Who's the client?

- No one worth mentioning.

- But you always tell us who the client is.

Helps us with the business, you say.

Not this time.

- It may come as a surprise to you, Echo 8,

but you don't have a right

to every secret in this building.

- So, it's more of a secret mission, is it?

- Go to sleep.

- What's so important about Osman?

It's obvious someone's targeting him.

Maybe the client?

- You know,

the world is much bigger than you think.

Don't learn that the hard way.

- Is that what happened to you?

- I have some errands to attend to.

Don't forget the lights.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

- You should tell Agent 5 about those nightmares.

- What nightmares?

- I can hear them.

It's been happening every night lately.

- I said I'm fine, okay?

Don't be going talking shit about me.

- Whatever.

- I see them.

I see them in my dreams.

- Who?

- My family.

- You don't have family.

None of us do.

That's why we're here.

- Then why do I see them as clearly as I see you right now?

- You're imagining things.

- Am I?

Sometimes I don't know what to believe anymore.

- Believe in Zodiac.

Believe in Agent 5.

Believe in me.

- Wait.

Close the door.

Just close it.

Look what I found.

- Where'd you get that?

- Where do you think?

- Agent 5's office?

You snuck into his office?

- I told you I was on it.

- I never asked you to.

- Fine.

I won't show you what else I found.

- Agent 5's kids?

- Turn it around.

- D and C.

- I think that's Agent 5 as a kid.

- Who's the girl?

- Who knows?

- What's that?

- It's the access to Agent 5's black room.

- You have to put it back.

If Agent 5 finds out, he's gonna freak out.

Wait.

- What?

- Agent 5's out running some errands.

- What are you thinking?

Hang on.

I really don't think this is a good idea.

- You're the one that broke into his office, remember?

If anything, this is all your fault.

Don't make me say pretty please.

Give me the photo.

Uh uh. You have to keep a lookout.

- What about the-

- I'll put it back when I'm done.

- Last drawer. Black box.

- Okay.

- Give her a nice welcome home party, will you?

Osman is the last key in our plan

to take control of the House of Parliament.

- Osman.

- We need him in office.

In the last two decades, a vigilante group

has garnered a significant following.

Osman has done his part,

publicly declaring his support for the group.

Time to get rid of them.

Our next move is to kill the founder of this group.

Her murder will be seen as the threat against Osman

and all that he stands for.

It will be a stain of injustice that enrages this city.

The voters in the upcoming election

will be heavily swayed in Osman's favor.

That is what we want.

That is what we need.

This mission is crucial to our ascension.

- Agent 5.

- This is the second time I caught an operative out of bed.

What are you doing here?

- Yeah, you know, I was thinking we could have like

a one-on-one training session.

There's these new moves that I've been working on

and I really want to show you.

- You can show me the morning.

- Well, I mean it's not gonna take too long,

so I'll just show you right now.

One, two, three, four.

Wait, wait.

I've got more moves.

One, two, three, four.

- So, what do you think?

I told Delta 1 his move sucked

but he wanted a professional opinion.

- I think you two guys

have been running around long enough.

- Five by five, boss.

- Sorry.

Allergies.

- I've had enough of this clownery.

Get out!

- Allergies.

- Get your own damn tissues.

Idiot!

- What'd he say?

- Idiot.

It's over, Chau.

- Whatever they told you,

it's a lie.

- It's over, Chau.

- Here.

- Thanks.

- Hey.

You forgot your change.

- Thanks.

- How's the bubble tea?

- Sweet.

- Sweet enough?

- It's fine.

- Is your friend okay?

- Goddamn pearls.

- He's choking on his own ego.

- Well, I'll see you around.

- Why did you do it?

- Do what?

- Sneak into Agent 5's office.

You know you can get into so much trouble for that.

- You told me Agent 5 was acting weird,

so I told you I was on it.

- You know I don't get you sometimes.

When we're training or going on a mission,

you can be such a real jerk.

- Thanks.

- But at other times...

- Maybe I'm just that guy.

- What guy?

- The guy who never gets what he wants.

- Maybe we're both that guy.

Do you ever have deja vu?

Delta?

- Say hello to Mr. Bingley.

- I thought you're not a cat person.

- Eh, a guy can change.

- You sure that was Mr. Bingley?

- Well, it was black for starters.

- 50% of cats are black.

- Then what about his little white socks?

- He's a long way from home, isn't he?

- We better get back.

The mission.

- The mission.

- So, kebab?

My shout.

- I'm missing four two-dollar coins,

four one-dollar, one 50-cent, two 20-cent coins.

- Told you he counts them.

- Hey, I didn't...

Wait, you're right.

- I expect them all back when I check next time.

- Hey, could I borrow four two-dollars, one-

- Don't you need to take a leak or something?

- I'll go get you those coins.

- I'm giving you this mission to face alone.

- Alone?

I thought Delta 1 was coming with me.

- You're not scared, are you?

- Please.

At least I don't have to babysit his ass.

Could have left him at base.

- He's here,

so if you fail, I don't have to get my hands dirty.

- This mission is more important

than you're leading on, isn't it?

- What's the important thing is

this mission is completed by you.

- Why?

Because you think Delta 1 can't handle it?

- No.

Because he's an idiot.

Do you love him?

Before your time

there was an operative

that let love cloud her judgment.

Strayed from the path of the Zodiac.

She went rogue

and went on a nice little killing spree.

She took out four agents.

- What happened to her?

- I completed my mission.

- You would kill your own child?

- She wasn't my child.

But you are.

Every orphan I bring to Zodiac,

I treat them as my own.

- Delta 1 has been having nightmares.

Says he sees his family.

- He sees what he wants to see.

We are his family.

As we strive for something greater,

there are obstacles in life

we must overcome.

Defeat in order to come out stronger.

Strong enough to achieve a greater something.

If Delta 1, for example,

became an obstacle of our mission,

would you do what you have to do?

- What?

- I know he was in my office.

- That's ridiculous.

I mean, why would-

- Perhaps he lost his faith in me,

in us.

So, would you?

- In a heartbeat.

- That's what I like to hear.

- That time will never come, will it?

- The beauty of the future is unpredictability.

- You know, I think I figured it out.

- What?

- Trang.

You said it sounded Vietnamese.

It is.

It means moon.

- Good luck.

- I don't need luck.

- Hey, that's my line.

- One more thing.

Don't fail the mission.

If she's not out in two,

go in after her.

- Just send me in now and we'll both be out in one.

- Don't get cocky, Delta 1.

It will get you killed.

- Now where have I heard that one before?

So, what did you guys talk about?

- Family stuff.

- Nice trick, lady.

Trying to make this as painless as possible,

but you're really getting on my nerves.

- You can take whatever you want,

but please, please don't kill me.

- That's out of the question.

You're messing up this house, lady,

and I gotta say, it's a pretty little house.

Look, we can do this all night

until this whole place is covered up in holes

but you and I both know

that it's gonna end up one way.

You, dead.

- To the moon and back.

- Don't dwell in the past.

- Remember when you first got here?

- Honestly, it's one giant blur.

- Then what do you remember?

- Don't dream of the future.

The present is now.

- When's dad coming home?

When's dad coming home?

- He's not coming home.

- Why not?

- Just eat.

Please don't be like this.

- You made him go away.

- What?

Me?

- Make him come back.

- What are you thinking?

Look around you.

Do you know what happened?

He left us.

I work all day and night,

cleaning the house

and cooking.

Only for your father to leave.

Leave with that home-wrecking whore!

- Mom!

- Now that you think you've grown up,

go and follow your father.

Go on.

I'm the one who has made sacrifices.

Do you understand that?

Go on!

Go!

Follow your father!

Go!

- Police!

My address is 12 Mother Avenue, Cabramatta.

There's an intruder.

- Drop it.

Come in, this is Delta 1.

Echo 8 is down for the count.

Awaiting further instructions.

- Kill the target.

- It's what the boss wants.

Sweet dreams?

- The best.

I'll do it.

- Where's your gun?

- Dropped it somewhere.

- All right.

But make it quick.

What are you doing?

- I don't want to do this.

- Then don't.

I don't know what's gotten into you,

but you need to stop.

The mission.

We have to finish the mission.

- Not with me here, you're not.

- Delta 1, come in.

Is the target dead?

Come in.

Is the target dead?

- Please don't do this.

- I have to.

- Please, please don't hurt me.

- Get up.

- Please don't hurt me.

You can take whatever you want,

but don't hurt me, please.

- Listen to me carefully.

If you don't get out of here, you're gonna die.

Do you understand?

- You tried to kill me.

- Not anymore.

What do you know about Osman?

- Mr. Osman.

He's the Parliament man.

- Not yet, he isn't.

- He will help me.

He's supporting what I'm doing.

- What you're doing,

your little protesting campaign, T.R.A.N.G.

That's what they want.

It's a part of a bigger plan.

Bigger than you and me.

I saw you on TV.

- They tried to kill me.

Why?

- Because they want Osman in office.

The upcoming election?

This is what it's all about.

- I don't understand.

I just, I just want to find my daughter.

He tells me she's gone.

She's dead.

I don't believe that.

I know she's out there.

She will come home.

And I will find her.

Who are you?

Why are you trying to help me?

- It doesn't matter right now.

Shit.

Is there another way out at the back?

- The gate at the side.

- Okay, let's go.

- Let me close the front door.

- The front door's not gonna stop him.

Let's go.

Run!

I know everything.

- Not everything.

- All this time

I was just a disposable operative to you.

- No, you're wrong.

Delta 1, he's disposable.

Hot tempered. Immature.

It makes him weak.

But you're different.

You're still my best objective.

Still are.

- Ah, fuck.

- You lied to me.

You said I was an orphan.

You took me from my home, from my mother!

- Orphans.

Runaways.

Kidnaps.

Whatever the word is,

all the same to me.

- Delta 1's nightmares were real after all.

- The others, yes.

But you, no.

You were never my intention until that night.

I was in the middle of another mission.

- Another mission?

- Some guy down the road who got in with the wrong crowd,

messed with loan sharks.

A local gang.

An easy kill.

Didn't put up much of a fight.

- Why did you take me?

Why me?

- You reminded me of someone.

It's over, Chau.

It's over, Chau.

I know everything.

- Not everything.

Whatever they told you,

it's a lie.

All of it.

- The present is now.

- Daigo!

- And what a glorious gift it is.

- It was destiny.

Echo 8, you proved to be the strongest operative.

I gave you a new life.

- Let her go.

Let her go.

- You don't know what you're doing, Delta 1.

- And you do?

- The mission.

You know we don't have a choice.

- There's always a choice.

- You're right.

- If you want something done right for the first time.

- Don't move.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

- See you at the end of the tunnel.

- I'm sorry.

If you want to kill her,

you're gonna have to go through me first.

You taught me not to dwell on the past,

but how can I when it's right in front of my face?

- The present is now.

- And what a glorious gift it is.

- Are you okay?

- I don't understand what just happened.

- You should be glad you're not dead.

Look at me.

The people that want you dead,

they're gonna send for someone else.

When the police get here, tell them you need protection.

You need to be protected.

Because I can't protect you.

- Who are you really?

I feel like,

like I know you.

Like we've met before.

- Maybe we have.

In another life.

- Wait.

Where are you going?

- To the moon and back.

- Anna.

- It must be nice to live in a world

torn between sweet dreams and beautiful nightmares.

But the hunting season is upon us.

And it's time to wake from your slumber.
