All language subtitles for Bugs - Series 1, Episode 5 - Shotgun Wedding (1995)

Miss fabrizi?

Wence, ssd. Mr corelli. I'm
head of security for your visit.

There are a number of matters
I'd like to discuss, miss fabrizi.

The press first. Miss fabrizi?

The Liberty party is only two years old,

why are the Italian voters
taking you so seriously?

Cos we represent a new
honesty in Italian politics.

A rejection of the old ways.
We are against corruption.

We want to clean up politics
in our country once and for all.

That's why we're here to attend
the conference on open government.

Isn't your stance against
corruption just window-dressing?

A cynical attempt to win votes?

My enemies don't think it's just window-dressing.

I have had death threats.

But they won't stop me speaking out.

Fighting corruption is the
only reason I'm in politics.

With me, it's a total passion.

What about your other passion?

When are you and Alberto
going to name the big day?

The big day? Is next week - the general election.

You know what I mean.

When are you two going to get married?

The more we deny there is anything between us,

the more you print the opposite!

Thank you, thank you very
much. That's all for now. Thank you.

Mr corelli! Mr corelli!

Journalists call out questions

she's arrived. Do it now, starkey.

Intrusion at the hotel.

Escaped, sir. Not a sign of them anywhere.

Let's have a look.

For some politicians, being against corruption

is like writing your own death sentence.

Sir? This was to be Anna fabrizi's room.

Is this one of yours? It looks familiar.

Yeah, it's a logo for that
new Italian political party.

Aw, right, yeah, I've seen them on TV.

They're over here for a conference.

So, you design with lasers? Make holograms?

That's it. Political parties are the exception.

Generally, I do them for rock concerts,

product launches, sports events...

Yet you suspect industrial espionage?

I want you to check over the whole place.

Forgive me, I didn't realise
laser business was so cut-throat.

I know it sounds like complete paranoia,

but I'm sure someone is bugging me.

Don't apologise, my friend.

It's paranoia that keeps us in business.

You said bugging? Yeah.

Well, if they wanted to steal your designs,

why listen to your conversations? What?

I think what ed means is
they're far more likely to break in

and take photographs, or steal drawings,

get into your computer. Well, yeah, I suppose so.

Have there been any break-ins,
any tamperings with your computer?

Not that I've noticed. That
doesn't mean there aren't bugs.

Or some other kind of
surveillance. Well, no, that's true.

That's what I'm hiring you to check for.

Well, mr swift, you can rest assured

that if anybody gets so much as a crossed line,

we'll find them for you.

'Red zero, red zero, report
your status on William swift.'

Hey, b, check out that Van.

I'm no expert, but I'd say
that's had some designer ageing.

Ed, you've got a point.

Those plates are too old for that model.

A little too anonymous, wouldn't you say?

Hang on to this, will you?

'I'm going to check this out.'

Have you got the time, please, mate?

The watcher's taken off.
He looks like a pro to me.

I think this William swift knows
something he's not telling us.

So, she was right. Who was?

A friend who recommended you.

The question is, mr swift,
why are you under surveillance?

Somebody wants to put me out of business.

This isn't just about lasers, is
it? Well, that's all I know about.

Well, bugs are what we know
about, and there aren't any here.

So whatever secrets you do
have, just feel free to discuss them.

Thanks for all you've done.

Let me know what your colleague turns up.

Of course.

And if you need anything else,
well, you know where to find us.

Ros? Ed? Are you listening?

'Yeah, we're with you.'

the Van I followed has come to a halt.

I'll check out my location in a minute.

Hang on, the driver's got out.

'Stick with him, Beckett.
Find out what's going on.'

Ros, I'm using your new rt73 to
shift the security camera off me.

Then I'll try to get into the building.

'Beckett, left side is vertical,
right side is horizontal.

'And it's delicate, so be careful.' Come on...

That's it! It works!

'Remember, there could
be other cameras, Beckett.'

ok, ros, I'm going in. I'll talk to you later.

Think you can go anywhere
with an rt73, do you, Beckett?

My office. Now.

Right, Beckett.

I hope you're ready to co-operate,

because if not, there's certain
sanctions we can impose.

Spare me the lecture, wence.

I know this department's so secret
nobody's supposed to know it exists.

I also know you could Bury
me in 20 tonnes of wet concrete,

tell all my friends I died in a car crash,

and no-one would ever be any the wiser!

But you're not going to do that, are you?

No. No. So I'll be on my way.

A word of advice, Beckett.
Keep away from William swift.

William swift has employed us to do a job.

I'm not giving up on your say so.

He's mixing in dangerous company.

Take my advice - keep your nose out.

Or else you will end up being buried in concrete!

William swift?

I didn't believe a single
word he said to us, did you?

He ought to be in politics, not lasers. Yeah.

Static frequency

ros, you didn't? I did.

Bugging the client? Isn't that
against our code of practice?

I don't like clients not telling us the truth.

Me neither.

Try 14.9 megahertz. Why?

You'll get better reception.
I stuck one behind his desk!

Ed laughs

phone ringing

swift: 'Hello?' 'It's me.'

'Anna, darling. How was the journey?'

lucky my bug's on the phone itself.

Nyah, nayah-nayah, nayah, nayah.

Anna: 'All they wanted to know

'was when Alberto and I were getting married.

'If only they knew the truth.'

swift chuckles

'look, there's something
happened this morning...'

there was a man outside the
workshop, keeping a watch.

One of the experts I got in chased him off.

It's possible he was on our side.

What? 'I had to tell security about us.'

look, I'll explain when we meet.

Sexy voice. 'Don't worry.'

obviously Italian. 'Can
you get away this morning?'

yes, I can.

As long as I'm back for my
keynote speech at two, I'm fine.

So, where shall we meet?

'Do you remember that big courtyard?

'With the grass.'

royal college green...

'Where I proposed.'

'yep. And we can sit on the same very bench.'

'I'll see you there in an hour.

'Bye, Anna.' 'Ciao!'

well, whoever she is, she's
the reason for his paranoia.

Let's go put a face to the name.

'Hello?'

tape: 'Confirm your identity.

'Confirm your identity.'

'this is MacKenzie.'

you've been out of contact, starkey.

What happened at the hotel?

Tell your boss to have my money
ready. She'll be dead very soon.

Alberto...

I need a favour. I need to go out.

Take mr wence's bodyguard.
I'm not going anywhere.

I'm meeting a friend.

Ah! And you don't want a chaperone?

Exactly. Leave it to me.

Alberto...

I don't like all this secrecy.

Pretending people who
are close to me don't exist.

Pretending our relationship is something...

It's not.

Everyone is so in love with
the idea of us being a couple.

Why spoil their illusion?

Our party is meant to stand for honesty...

Not deception.

Other parties would pay millions
for the public affection we have.

The more they loves us, the
more chance we have of winning.

I know. I know.

But after the election, we'll come clean.

Yes?

After the election, it won't
matter one way or the other.

I need to go to the embassy.
You better come with me,

and don't worry about miss fabrizi.
She'll be staying in her room, ok?

Hello?

So, tell me, ros, is this the kind of place

you'd like to get a proposal?

That rather depends who from, ed.

It's all very romantic, but I
don't know, all these windows.

Bit like being in the middle of a stage.

Yeah, it's very exposed.

Good place to kill someone. Let's check it out.

Ros, I've got someone!

'Right, I'll go over to the West Side

'to look for swift and his friend Anna.'

Ros, I've got a live wire here.

'Looks like he's got a detonator.
He must be using a bomb.'

William, move!

Move! There's a bomb!

So, let me just get this straight.

The Italian public want to believe

that you and Alberto corelli are lovers?

And you go along with it

because it'll help enhance
your image and win you votes?

You make us sound so
cynical. Politics is politics.

But now you're marrying William, right?

So far, we've kept our relationship secret.

But after the election, the
truth will have to come out.

Ha-ha! Yes, well, you see, after the election,

that's a little bit late for us.

You know, wence's team
obviously knew all about you.

We were kept completely in the dark!

I didn't know if I could trust you.

I was frightened Anna's
enemies had found out about us.

That's why I wanted William to
have his place swept for bugs.

Ed and ros saved your lives.

Perhaps you could trust us now, yeah?

So, who would want to kill you and why?

A number of people.

Now... the Liberty party
wants to clean up Italian politics.

It's a vote-winner.

But those with their
hands in the till don't like it.

You didn't bring your own
security people with you?

Alberto thought we would be safe here.

And, of course, commander wence's squad

was supposed to protect us.

Wence couldn't look after a pet goldfish.

Ed laughs

I don't want looking after.

I want to catch the people responsible.

Could you help me do that?

Perfect for a set-up.

William swift works here, Anna can meet him here.

For any marksman worth their
name, she's gonna be a simple target.

He used a bomb before.

Yeah, that's the beauty of setting it up here.

I mean, it's open enough to attract the assassin,

but controllable enough
so he can limit his options.

His only choice is to use a rifle.

This will be the only place he can do it from.

If he takes the bait. He'll
take the bait, don't worry.

Hey, listen, about this evening... Yeah.

..I want you to go and pick up Anna. Ok?

I'm gonna stay here and wait for the assassin.

Oh, come on. I'm a lousy chauffeur.
You do that. I'll handle the ambush.

Ed, you haven't had the training, all right?

What do you mean, "training"?!

Unarmed combat, surveillance,
night pursuits small arms...

You sound like Rambo. Listen,
I'm going to do this, all right?

Ed...

You've achieved more with this in an afternoon

than I have in three years of research!

I've just rejigged some of your software, is all.

It might not even work.

Only one way to find out. Try it.

Teddy's got a twin!

I've never been able to make
a 3D replica before. It's brilliant!

Well, now your laser is
producing a good, strong image.

Not for long, though.

I'll try something else.

How can we guarantee
the killer will turn up at all?

Well, they knew you were
meeting Anna at college green.

There's been a leak of information somewhere.

You checked my place, and Anna's room.

There were no bugs. Mm.

But there are other ways
of listening to conversations.

This is where you and Anna come in.

Now, are you sure you remember your lines?

Politics is 90% acting.

Phone rings

hello?

'Anna fabrizi?'

'hello, darling. It's William.

'If that conference of yours can spare you,

'any chance of us meeting this evening?'

I thought you'd like to see a
demonstration of the laser logo.

'The Liberty party torch?'

excellent! What time?

'Eight o'clock? Riverside arena.'

'that's fine. Will there be a crowd?'

'just us.'

and that huge, empty space.

I want you to be the first to see it.

'Marvellous.'

'I'll meet you there.' 'At eight. Ciao.'

bye.

Prego.

Why did I have to use a mobile?

Well, we think that's the way they
knew your movements this morning.

Talking on a mobile
phone is a bit like discussing

your private life with a gossip columnist (!)

Tape: Confirm your identity.

'Confirm your identity.'

it's MacKenzie! Must you use that stupid tape?

'Haven't you heard of security?'

yes. I'll do it tonight at the arena.

And I want a car waiting
to take me to the airport.

'I'll give you the details.'

we'll send a car. How will
my driver recognise you?

'There will be no-one else around.'

tell your driver to flash his headlights twice.

I'll find him.

Starkey, just get it right this time. Please?

'Or you and I are finally going to have to meet.'

This man starkey. He's failed twice.

Send your car.

But don't take him to the airport.

You want him dead?

If he kills Anna this time, maybe I relent.

And if he fails?

Anna must die before the elections.

Her death will mean the Liberty party and I

come to power on a wave of public sympathy.

And then quietly forget all
your anti-corruption policies?

Anna's policies. Not mine.

If Anna ever actually got to power,

certain friends of mine
would be very inconvenienced.

It's fortunate she hasn't discovered
who your friends really are.

She will.

That's why I want her dead.

Hm! Something I never expected to see.

What? Me sewing? No, you doing something badly.

So, ros, what's in the button, then?

A little microphone? Nope.

Tracker? Nope.

Both.

Oh, damn! I never was any good at this.

That's incredible. Thank you.

It's super-miniaturised with only
minimal loss of power and range.

It took me weeks to get it right.

Is that the only one? Yep,
so far. It's the prototype.

I want you to give it a field
test for me, but bring it back!

Look, you and Beckett are
certain this won't be another bomb?

Oh, yeah. We've made sure the only
option they had was to use is a gun.

Well, you better be right,
cos if this all blows up

in your faces, I'm not sewing you back together!

Thank you, Gina. See you at breakfast.

Buona notte.

Early night for you, too.
I'm going to stay in and work.

But right now I'm taking a
shower, so if you wouldn't mind...

Go.

Room service?

Wence to base, wence to
base. Beckett is with miss fabrizi.

They've made an unauthorised exit.

They're leaving. Follow them.

Well, it's all quiet here,
ed. No sign of anybody.

Well, Beckett and Anna are
here. I hope we got this right.

I don't want to be wasting our time.

Anna!

Ed, he's here! He's in the building.
By a pillar on the south side!

He never passed me.

Well, I'm telling you,
he's here! He's got a rifle!

I'm on my way.

Stop him! Armed security! Stop!

You ok? Yeah.

They shot the laser image, exactly as planned.

And who was trying to kill me? I want to know.

Well, hopefully, Ed's got that in hand.

Stop!

Stop him! Armed security! Stop!

Starkey! Armed security!

Stop! Stop there!

You are surrounded, starkey!
Drop your gun on the floor, now!

All hell's broken loose here.
They've just shot this guy!

Listen, I'm going to check
out a car I saw earlier.

I think it's got something
to do with the assassin.

Ros? Beckett? Radio bleeps

damn!

I warned you, Beckett!

We knew about this
assassination threat to miss fabrizi.

That's why we're here.

All you've done is put her
and her friend in grave danger.

We were both quite safe. I
wanted to flush out the assassin.

Yes, well, he certainly won't
be giving you any more trouble.

There's my car's outside, miss fabrizi,

if you'd like to come with
us. As for you, Beckett,

get out of here before I close you down!

Likes creating an impression, doesn't he (?)

Wence doesn't get out of the office too often.

When he does, he likes to make the most of it.

Beckett, where's ed?

Are you starkey? Who's asking?

Don't try to be clever.

We heard shooting.

Well, that'd be the ssd.
They... they need the practice.

So, who are you?

Starkey. Get in!

Is everything arranged? Yes, miss fabrizi. Good.

Seeing the bride on the morning of the wedding

is supposed to be bad luck. I know.

I wanted to give you a
chance to change your mind.

Why? Suppose wence interferes.

Mr wence will not know anything about it.

But we could cancel.
Wait till after the election.

I could fly back to Italy with
you. We could get married there.

No. We planned it for while I'm here in england

and that's what I want.

Nobody is going to stop us.

But is it going to be safe?

Hardly anyone knows anything about it.

Anyway, wence said the man had been killed.

They haven't got the people who
hired him, have they? William...

..I am not spending the
rest of my life in hiding.

Your secretary's a witness? Of course.

And corelli?

I haven't asked him yet.

I was leaving it until this
morning for maximum surprise.

You do trust him?

He and I could be running the country together

in a couple of weeks.

I can't let him learn about
you and I from the papers.

Married?!

Not only is she still alive,

but she's getting married this morning.

What the hell went wrong last night?

We picked up starkey. Do you want to see starkey?

Yes, I do!

Spencer, would you like to bring in our guest?

Ah... so you're starkey.

Yeah. Why am I being treated like a prisoner?

Because you keep failing to
do the job I am paying you for!

Where did you get that accent?

You're not the person I spoke to on the phone.

Are you kidding? I always use
a voice-changer on phone calls.

You mean as well as that
ridiculous tape you always play?

Haven't you heard of security? Sure we have.

Cocks gun that's why I want you dead!

Guys, come on. I thought we had a deal here.

The deal is off. I don't like failures!

It wasn't my fault. Fabrizi
hired people to protect her.

The whole thing was set up! Yeah? Yeah.

The security services swarmed the placed.

They shot some guy, a passer-by, I think.

Trust the ssd to get the wrong man!

At least they killed someone, which
is more than you have achieved.

Starkey...

Not only is fabrizi still alive...

He chuckles

..she's actually getting married this morning.

Married?

Where's the church? I could do it there.

Kill her at the wedding?

You think I should trust you again?

I can have her dead

before the ink dries on the wedding register.

Ok.

You've got one last chance.

But screw up again...

..And it will be your last mistake.

Where is she?

Your secretary tells me you're not attending

this morning's session of the conference?

No.

What are you doing? May I ask?

I shall have a swim in the hotel pool.

If that's ok with you.

Ros? Beckett? I don't know if you can here me.

Listen, I don't know how long I can talk.

I've lost my radio. I'm using this button thing.

I hope it works. You're not gonna believe it,

these guys think I'm a contract killer!

Ed, what the hell do you think you are doing?!

He can't hear you. The button's just a mic.

Oh, great(!)

Well, next time, sew a couple on,
all right, so one can be a receiver.

Ed is not trained for infiltration work!

It's highly dangerous! He's
trying to tell us something!

I knew I should have covered... Beckett!

'You got it?'

Anna's getting married this
morning. I've supposed to kill her.

I'm gonna playing along so I
can work out who's behind all this.

Starkey! I don't know if you can hear me, but...

'Do me a favour and get to the church on time!'

You finished? Toilet flushes

They said she's in the pool.

That's why she didn't answer the phone!

Beckett, swimming's an odd thing to do

just before your wedding, don't you think?

She's not in there!

This is what happens when
you don't employ enough women!

Well done. You got everything?

Bouquet, something
borrowed... Oh, something blue!

Hello! Yes!

Mr starkey, I trust this time
you'll complete your assignment.

Party disunity or is she
marrying the wrong man (?)

You're not paid to ask questions, just kill her!

Unlucky in love, eh?

Love has nothing to do with it. This is politics!

'So, whereabouts is the wedding?' 'You'll see.'

is it in a church?

What's it to you? Idle curiosity (!)

Drive.

Corelli's is that car.

Had to be, didn't it?

Whoever heard of two
politicians being best mates?

What's the range of this button? Eh?

This mini-tracker/mic thing of yours.

Oh, erm, a couple of miles.

Let's hope the wedding's not in Rome, then, eh?

They chat in Italian

'Put this on.' 'This really isn't my style.

'Ordinarily, I like Italian clothes, but...'

you won't have to wear it long.

I'm sorry about the wait. It's
lined with plastic explosive.

'Great (!) Sort of an insurance policy, is it?'

if for any reason you fail again,
we'll terminate your contract.

Wherever it is, Ed's just got there.

So, what's this church called?

Well, come on, we don't want me
walking into the wrong one, do we?

We've taken precautions against that eventuality.

MacKenzie will tell you where to go.

We will also know what you're doing.

We can tell if you are
not following instructions.

'The gun is fitted with a video camera.

'And MacKenzie will see everything.'

even tell if you are aiming too high.

There's me thinking it was
to watch lazio on satellite (!)

Don't try to take this waistcoat off.

This zip completes the circuit.

Try to undo it, and you'll
detonate the explosive.

MacKenzie: Right, starkey, on your way.

There goes the lucky man.

A little present for the bride.

What's this? Just a little incentive.

If you haven't got the job done in 15 minutes...

..Boom!

Ok, up the stairs to the gallery.

Where will you be?

Somewhere I can keep my eye on you.

'Don't take long finding a position.'

remember your time is limited.

'Get the gun out, starkey.'

Tracker bleeps he's here!

We're right on top of him!

He's here! Beckett...

Oh, brilliant (!)

Electronics, grade one.
Sewing and needlework, failed!

So where's the church, then?
There, and it's not a church.

You must be William swift.

Let me offer you my congratulates. Thank you.

Speaking hurriedly in Italian

They're here. Take aim.

Show me your target.

I can't get a clear shot!

There he is. Back this way.

It's no good! She's in the way!

Kill the girl as well if you
have to. Kill them both.

Yeah, the zip completes the circuit. We heard.

'Starkey?'

have you got company? It's just the ceremony.

'If you don't kill her in the next three minutes,

you'll jacket will explode
and you'll be the dead one.

Oh, what, ros? For god's sake. Cut the wires!

Yeah, problem is, there aren't any!

I call upon these persons here present...

I call upon these persons...

To witness that I, William swift...

Do take thee, Anna fabrizi...

To be my lawful, wedded wife.

I, Anna fabrizi, do take thee, William swift...

To be my lawful, wedded husband.
To be my lawful, wedded husband.

Aaaah!

Screaming

Anna! Look out!

It's corelli who's trying to kill you!

Alberto! What are you doing?

Teaching you a lesson. Honesty never pays!

Do this, ros! I can't do this if you keep moving!

Let me get away or she dies! Shoot! Kill him!

Just give me five seconds! You don't have them.

Give me safe passage out of
here. Don't turn her into a martyr!

You took your time working out what to remove.

Who worked it out? I guessed!

If I may be permitted to finish?

I congratulate you, now that
you are husband and wife.

Do you do ironing as well?

Ros, please. I'm just trying to
correct your dodgy handiwork.

And it's looking lovely.

Hey, I've got some socks that need darning!

Oh, leave him alone.

He'll make someone a
wonderful wife one of these days.

You left this at William's. Oh, ed!

Yeah? No, not you, him.

His name's ed the Ted.

Hey, perhaps the next time this ed goes missing,

we can take this ed on.
He'd probably do a better job.

Well, it's probably a good idea.

You know what they say.

What? Two eds are better than one!
