All language subtitles for The Iris Affair s01e07 Two Seconds to Midnight

All I ask is for you to wake it long
enough for me to take what I need.

This is about a child.

I shit you, Pim.

I shit you out. My fortunes get too
convivial.

Show me the book, please. Iris, you're
facing the pitch. Just to get your

tongue, close your left eye. I'm taking
Joy home, but I'm not giving you the

book. You have the right to do this just
because it frightens you.

It should frighten you, too.

Yes! Yes!

If this thing goes straight...

If you just want to farm clicks and call
it journalism, go ahead, do it. After

all this time in hiding, Iris, why come
forward now? I need to leave behind a

record of what happened and why.

And see some breakfast.

Charlie wasn't awake.

I can't believe we did it.

Keep thinking it's a trick. Keep
thinking I'm going to look down, be in

underpants, and then I'll wake up and
it'll be last Wednesday and everything

will all still be shit.

Okay, let's get this bit over with.

This is the password?

Yeah, technically, I think it's called
an activation sequence.

Once it's decoded... That's
extraordinary, isn't it, really? All

line of characters in the dye of a
feeling great bedlam.

Except it's a bit more than that, isn't
it? Or none of us would be here.

You know, you're absolutely right.

And I should say, Cameron, this was very
nicely played.

Well, it's all down to joy, really.

I can't tell you what this means. To me,
my chairperson, the entire executive,

really. It means apologise to Joy for
being a bell -end, is what it means.

Cameron, when do you arrive?

Well, I think Joy's hungry. We might
stop off for breakfast.

Oh, OK.

Well, let me know when you're close, all
right?

And Cameron?

Thank you again.

Done.

Oh, here comes that day. Here comes the

rain on your parade.

There's a price to pay for a

life of innocence.

And you pretend

that it doesn't matter.

And that you're not scared.

Oh, here comes that rain.

Here comes that rain. Here comes that
rain on your face.

I suppose what happened is, a few days
ago, I was basically kidnapped.

This bloke called Cameron, he took us to
this massive base.

There was a policeman.

He was quite badly beaten.

I don't know his name.

Badly beaten by who?

I think they were technically
detectives.

Where is she?

Go there.

Iris.

Do you know that the oldest cave
paintings in the world are of a pig?

Uh, no.

35 ,000 years later, and we are still
drawing pigs on walls.

It's like we've got this species -level
compulsion to store data.

Right. Are you okay?

Like, I mean, Marco and Roberta forever.

Except they knew it wasn't forever,
right? Otherwise, why bother writing it

down? What they were actually saying
was... Marco and Roberta for not so

Marco and Roberta for one summer.

Or until Marco crashes his car into a
tree and Roberta breaks his heart and

leaves. Which means Marco and Roberta
are actually here.

They existed in this moment in time.
Because if they didn't preserve it, it

would be carried downstream into
infinity until it is gone forever.

That's the bleakest thing I ever heard.

And I've got the early Cure albums.

They made a record of an event that
nobody would have known about otherwise.

That's not bleak.

That's journalism.

You see?

That is actually... Yeah.

Yeah, I can see that. That makes sense,
actually.

Good.

Because it is time to make your mark.

Two seconds to midnight.

Get the truth out there.

About Cameron, about Jensen, Charlie Big
Potatoes, about the people who died for

it and you killed for it.

Including you? Including me. The whole
truth. Scorched earth.

Upload it to your channel.

Get famous.

Write a book and let someone else stop
Cameron.

Police, intelligence services, whoever.

What about you?

I don't matter.

I'm not having that. Of course you do.

Listen, what these people are doing is
next level dangerous.

Okay, and they need to be stopped. And
I'm not going to be the one who does it,

not anymore.

So it is down to you now.

I failed.

But you, imagine.

Alfie was here.

Yeah. Let's do it.

I'm trying to force.

So how long is this going to take?

This is the bacteria in the password
coded against.

Five million base pairs in the sequence.

We don't know the starting point, so we
need to brute force it.

Best estimate?

Minus.

How's that?

Except it's a two -level code.

Meaning? We need to decipher the top
level first.

Work out what all the circles and
squiggles signify.

And how long will that take?

Hours. Days.

Weeks? Who knows?

Fine.

I think I'll take Professor Lind for
some fresh air.

Maybe that will help.

Oh, God.

Hello, you fucking abomination.

What?

Just thought you'd be a vegetarian.

Why? Because you look like a vegetarian.

Why? Because you're wearing vegetarian
trousers.

That's so stupid.

Is it her?

We can walk through it.

Don't know.

You're right, I should.

Hello, Iris.

Just a second.

You should eat.

Bit a bit thick now, actually.

You chose a side, not a coin you can
unflip.

Sorry about that.

Can you hear me okay?

Well, you sound like a prick, so I can
hear you fine.

How are you? You don't sound like
yourself.

Oh, no, this is definitely me.

There's no getting away from that,
actually.

How's Joy?

Oh, she's really good.

She's having breakfast in an auto grill.

Well, that sounds nice and normal.

I actually miss a bit of normal. Me too.
You can't beat a bit of normal.

For what it's worth, I do wish things
had worked out differently.

Well, it's a big universe.

Come where it did. Yeah. Look it up. All
those realities and we get ourselves

stuck in this one.

Listen, the reason I'm calling...
Confession speech.

There's more that unites us than divides
us. It's a far, far better whatever

than thingy.

You wish.

Oh, dear. Thought not.

I'm giving you an opportunity.

How exciting. So what?

Take an axe to the device.

Kill it.

Don't let it wake.

Or your what? Hold your breath until
you're sick?

I will destroy you.

Oh, for God's sake. Listen to Shiva the
Destroyer. You know what happens if you

keep this up?

Bring it on.

And the people that helped you, Nico
Kasterman, Alfie Bird.

Yes, I know their name.

What about them?

Fuck them.

But you know the money runs on fear,
which means punishing betrayal.

They'll go scorched earth.

They won't just kill YouTube Tosser and
the other one. They'll murder their

family and their friends and their
children.

They'll set fire to their fucking dogs
and impale their cats on bamboo spikes.

Let them burn, and you too.

Fuck you all!

So that's how it is.

How is she?

Oh, she's a funny old sausage, is Iris.

She doesn't feel things the way the rest
of us do. She can make you believe she

does, but she doesn't really.

So you mustn't feel bad about upsetting
her.

I think she's basically un -upsetable.

She thought it was funny in a weird way.
She was laughing about it. She says hi,

by the way.

Yeah.

What happened over the last few days is
I was basically kidnapped.

This bloke called Cameron, he took us to
this massive base where there was a

policeman.

He was quite badly beaten.

I think they were technically
detectives.

But most of the blood was theirs, so...

So, do one thing.

Delimit the entire perimeter and don't
let anyone get in.

Ask for as much information as possible,
okay?

Sure, ma 'am. Commander Bruni, you won't
like this. So?

Autovelox, kicked over the road.

What happened to Nixon?

Commander, there was no way to know.

But how did he do it?

Commander,

this way.

I heard what she said to him. Fuck them.

Let them burn.

She was lying.

It's her thing. It's how she does stuff.
It doesn't matter if she was lying or

not.

Because Cameron Beck wasn't.

So that's it.

Yeah, we just shut our phone.

Have a pot of noodle, forget any of it
ever happened.

Charlie Big Potatoes, murder scientists,
corrupt police, Cameron bloody Beck.

Nobody's forgetting anything.

Because they were dead.

I'm going to make sure the right people
are punished for it.

But we need to do it the right way. Do
what?

We contact Interpol. But we need to
provide evidence that's on your laptop.

Footage of Joy Baxter making her
statement about Dale.

Her abduction by Cameron Beck.

That kind of evidence buys us government
protection.

Interpol will bury it.

We've got a duty.

People need to know.

They will. In time.

When due process has run its course.

And who gets to tell them?

I see.

Fuck the clicks. Fuck the clicks.

This is real.

And it matters.

They'll kill you for it, Alfie.

Doesn't matter that much.

We need to get that laptop to Interpol.

Now.

We'll have the device operational in a
day or two at most.

All that silence and sacrifice brought
you nothing but a lot of torment and a

little time.

Of course, you could save me a few
precious hours.

Give me the activation code, Professor
Lent.

The little girl is running out of time.

Wake the device, Jensen.

Help me do what has to be done.

You think it will serve you?

At first, it will appear to.

It will seduce you by giving you what
you long for.

Until the day comes when you realize you

are serving it.

I'm trying to protect us.

Whoa.

thank you

So now you know how it feels to die.

What did you think?

Nothing? No.

No communion with the dead?

No wife and child beckoning you into the
guild?

Good.

Because I'm not just going to kill you
once, Jensen. I'm going to kill you over

and over again.

I'm going to kill you every day.

I'm just going to keep killing you,
killing you, killing you until you piss

feet and beg me to let you stay.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I mean, is everything all right?

I think probably not. Because it doesn't
look all right.

I don't miss it, Lee.

What's all this bollock?

Well, the device is our property,
Cameron, so my first priority should be

safety, no?

Yeah, no one's going anywhere until
we've ensured that everything is as it

should be, may I?

Do you have any idea the trouble you've
caused us, you strutting shit cunt?

Actually, do you know what?

We're leaving!

Excuse me?

Just fucking don't!

Just fucking don't!

Let's go inside then, shall we?

Lock him in the maniac suite.

You okay?

How much longer?

Shit. What?

What? Could you hear that?

Fuck. Alfie, take this.

We need to call a truce. Rooney's found
us.

Yeah, truce. Okay. They're still... Hey,

hey! Stop it, please!

What do you

think's

happened to him?

Jensen?

He's probably all right, more or less.

What about me and you?

Oh, we'll be fine.

Don't be scared.

One day soon, you'll look around and
you'll find yourself living your old

and all this will be something you don't
talk about, you don't even think about.

And because you don't talk about it or
think about it, it'll become less and

less real till the time comes when
you're my age.

It's just something half -remembered
that bubbles up in bad dreams.

I can't imagine being your age.

Nor can I.

Does it hurt?

Oh, God, yes.

I haven't been in a fight since I was
nine.

This is all her fault.

Iris.

Well, up to a point.

To be fair, I think she was only doing
what she thought was best.

In a funny little way.

I don't understand why she's so scared
of it.

Charlie.

She's scared the universe might be more
beautiful than she can tolerate.

Who's scared of that?

Everyone, I think.

Stop!

I'll shoot!

They must be in here.

I

can't

kill a policeman.

I can't do it.

All right, Vittorio.

Call them.

Claudia,

Daniela, go see them.

I'm going to end it.

Thanks for coming. Thanks.

They are the police.

I'm a

policewoman.

I'm leaving.

Let me go.

Nice to be at you.

Did you mean those things?

What things?

The things Nico heard you say in the
aqua park.

I don't know. Probably.

I mean, what does need mean?

I don't think you meant it.

Not really. I think you were angry.

Yes. Yeah, we've all said things when we
were angry.

I'm sorry, LV. I should never have
dragged you into this.

I should have just done it alone.

You couldn't have done it alone.

But it turns out I couldn't do it at
all.

So that's it.

They get away with it, cover it up, and
bury it in a ditch.

I don't think they're going to bother
with a ditch.

Libero. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

Bye, bye.

Please tell us right about you, though.

You were 100 % real.

So long.

For a few minutes, anyway.

Iris was here.

Two bars.

And you actually are it.

Two bars and I don't hear a word. Two
bars.

And you're already alive.

80 ,000 followers.

We can live stream.

Shit.

Let's do it.

It's just two seconds to midnight, and
I'm Alfie Bird.

And I'm here with Iris Nixon.

And we need your help.

Shit. Oh, shit. Come on. Come on.

Yes.

Iris and I are... Well, we don't know
exactly where we are, but we are being

hunted by corrupt police officers who
want to kill us and stop the troop

out. They are working for a man called
Cameron.

Tanya, tell her to do it.

Oh, that's so good.

Ah, ah, you know what?

I'm going to be a baby.

I'm going to be a child.

If anyone of us Bruni would have died
there, they would have said the same

thing.

That we are stuck in this story for the
money.

And the money is still there, waiting
for us.

So we still have a decision to make.

Which means that we put it in the votes.

It's for the money.

Bye -bye.

There's enough evidence on the laptop in
here.

By your official protection.

Well, lay low for now.

Until when?

Until I've finished it.

Hello, Cameron.

This is two seconds to midnight, and I'm
on my way.

We got Courtney
