All language subtitles for Bugs - Series 1, Episode 9 - A Sporting Chance (1995)

Thank you.

Dr defreitas, it's a great pleasure

for me to be here today
leading your master class.

I'm sure all our students

will gain enormously from someone
with your world-class experience.

Now, your first opponent, Jason rupta.

Os! Come on, Jason!

Are your colleagues here? Watching from base.

He does loves being the
centre of attention, doesn't he?

You could've done it.

Hey, you don't catch me
wearing pyjamas in public!

Beckett laughs

matte! Hajimi! Come on, Jason.

Go on, Jason!

Knock him flat on his ego!

Kane, calm down!

Applause

I don't believe it.

Dr defreitas said this might happen.

'I know, but still... I don't believe it.'

It's getting a bit out of hand, isn't it?

I thought ed was supposed to be the teacher.

Is Jason on your special
treatment, too, dr hunter?

This is getting serious.

Oi!

I want the paramedics now!

Is this what happened before?
Yes, exactly. Sudden collapse.

Is he gonna be all right?

The ambulance guys got here so quickly!

Yes, I'll go with him.

What have you done? You've killed Jason!

Come on! Forget it, Kane!

Oh, man! I feel awful.

I mean, I didn't mean to put him in hospital.

Don't blame yourself. I'm
sure Jason will be all right.

And this sort of thing has happened
at the academy before, has it?

Yes, it has. All in combat sports?

No, students in many of our sports programmes

have had similar problems.

That's why I asked you to help.
You think this dr hunter's involved?

Dr hunter?

Peter hunter is head of sports medicine.

He's been doing some work
on performance enhancers.

Hang on! Are you telling me
that we're dealing with some sort of

sports drug abuse here?

Hunter claims what he's
doing is all above board -

using natural substances

that can help athletes achieve
their best possible results.

But you don't believe him? I'm not sure.

He's highly motivated.

He'd do anything in the interest of sport.

Even something illegal?
I need you to tell me that.

What he's been developing is called tri-meserone.

Peter says it's harmless, but...

Where's Jason now? Local
hospital? I'm afraid I don't know.

Wait a minute. Hunter went
in the ambulance with him.

Well, I checked.

No ambulance was called
to the academy last night.

Who the heck are those paramedics,
then, and where did they take Jason?

Keep him sedated.

Hunter will need to do some tests. Yes, colonel.

Dr hunter. Ah!

How's Jason? I feel terrible about the accident.

Is he ok? Aw, he's doing fine.

Doctor, no-one seems to
know which hospital he's at.

His father arranged to have
him flown home to Miami.

He thinks that Jason will get
over this much quicker in the sun.

I had no idea he was American. No?

Really?

Well, excuse me...

Kane, if you're ready...

You there, Beckett? 'Yeah, go ahead.'

he's coming your way.

Ok.

What do you think you're
doing? Health and safety.

I've to check all your electrical equipment.

Why wasn't I informed? Don't ask me!

I just do the checks.

I'm just about to do an injection!

I won't be long.

Right, Kane.

There we go. Now, that should improve your times!

Thank you, doctor.

Doctor, we need to talk!

Look, do you think you could
come back and do this later?

I'm finished. Thank you.

Ed? 'Got you, Beckett.'

there's a bug and a tap on the phone.

You can start recording!

Easterhaus: 'You don't appear
to be producing the results I need!

Hunter: 'Just give me more
time! I'm a doctor, not a magician!'

what went wrong?

It was an adverse reaction like
the others. It won't happen again!

'It's just a minor flaw.

'We'll eliminate it during the final testing.

'For which there is only a limited time!'

'but if I don't complete the
test, the flaw will keep occurring.'

it had better not. Otherwise,
tri-meserone is worse than useless!

I'll sort it out!

What are you doing?

I'm, er, the new research assistant

working with dr hunter on tri-meserone.

Dr hunter never mentioned an assistant.

I'm monitoring students
taking part in the trials.

So, why weren't you in his office just now

when he gave me a shot of tri-meserone?

Did he?

He should've told me!

She breathes deeply

Aargh! Oh!

'It was like being chased by
Superman - he wouldn't stop.'

it was like he felt no pain.

Hey, look at this!

I've been running an ID check

on the guy who turned up at hunter's office.

Colonel Conrad easterhaus.

Check out the record on this guy.

Must be some kind of warfare junkie.

Ex-marine, skilled strategist.

Yeah, probably from the same
unit as the guy who chased me.

Haven't run so fast since school.

Kiss chase? 1,500 metres champion.

Yeah, somehow, if this
easterhaus is after tri-meserone,

I don't think it's to win a few sports cups!

So, why does this easterhaus want tri-meserone?

Well, looking at his record,

my guess is that this guy wants
to create some kind of supersoldier,

make an invincible army.

But it doesn't work, does it?

I mean, there's something wrong with it.

Well, the answer to that may be on this.

This is hunter's log, encrypted, of course.

Well, that shouldn't delay
you for too long, should it?

Phone ringing

hello?

Hey! That's the bug on the phone!

Easterhaus: 'Another failure, doctor?

'I'm beginning to get seriously concerned!'

'if you're unable to produce...'
That's easterhaus on a mobile.

..Tri-meserone.

'It's just a matter of correlating
the data from the students...'

that shouldn't be too difficult to trace.

'And that'll solve the problem, will it?'

well, yes, of course, I'm very nearly there.

I just need more time. I need another 48 hours.

You're already behind schedule!
You can have 24 hours - no longer!

'It's only a performance-enhancer.

'What's the urgency?' 'I depart tomorrow.

'My flight is booked.' I've traced it!

What about you? Got it!

You can tell us about that on the way.

Tri-meserone works by affecting
the serotonin levels in the brain.

It gives you a feeling of
confidence in your own abilities,

and reduces pain and stress.

Now, it doesn't actually
make you physically stronger,

but it works because you feel stronger.

Why have people been collapsing?

Well, hunter's notes say

it's a side-affect in certain subjects.

It seems to cut in when some
athletes' hearts reach 180bpm.

So, this stuff is still too
risky for easterhaus to use

in its present state? Mm-hm.

If hunter solves the glitch, what then?

Well, that's where easterhaus was calling from.

Perhaps we'll find the answer here.

Can't believe it. The place is completely empty.

Doesn't even look quite finished yet.

You must have made a mistake.

Ed, that is where easterhaus phoned from.

Maybe he's got a day job
as a construction worker (!)

Funny! Hang on!

Can't believe there's no other way in.

Well, maybe they haven't built it yet.

Ros, you don't put up a tower
block and forget to build an entrance.

Well, I don't know, ed!

Hey, hey, hey! They came out this way.

There's an entrance down here somewhere.

The power's off, or not connected yet.

Another weird thing - there's
no staircases in the place.

And what the hell is that thing?

Maybe it's part of the video monitoring system?

Whatever it is, it's not working.

Hey!

Buzzing nothing.

The lift's must be right at the
top. Something's got power.

There's light up there too.

Yeah, but if the lift's not working,
we can't check it out, can we?

There's always a way up a lift shaft.

Ed, this is a 30-storey building!

Well, that shouldn't be a problem
for a former school sports champion!

Excuse me.

After you, champ! Thank you.

I'm sure easterhaus didn't
go up and down this way.

Perhaps he was never
actually in the building at all.

What, he just sat still in the car park?

I don't think so, ed!

How's your fear of heights, Beckett?

I do not have a fear of heights!

Just of falling!

Ed! Beckett! I think I can
hear electrical equipment.

You guys check out that
floor - I'll go up one above us.

Ed, put your earpiece in.

Don't look down!

There's some interesting technology here, ed.

I've never seen anything quite like it.

Beckett, look!

It's ok - it's dead like the ones downstairs.

Bingo! I think I found the games room!

This is the party centre, all right.

Alarm bleeping computer room.

Someone's in the building. Turn back.

Bleeping

Man, this is one weird computer game!

I can get a copy on the floppy.

'Ed, you may think that's weird,

'but you're not looking at what we found.

'This is spooky!'

Beckett, this is the guy that ed knocked out.

And this is the one who chased me!

All previous victims of tri-meserone.

And all in here, hidden
away from the authorities.

They're being sedated.

Presumably so dr hunter
can carry on his research!

Electrical humming

is that you, you two jokers?

'Beckett? Beckett, can you hear me?

'Somebody's just paid the electricity bill.

'Everything's come alive up here.'

the big switch-on? It's nothing to do with us.

Ok, ed, I think our mysterious
tenant's just come back.

Ok, let's move out fast!

Not this way!

Check this floor. I'll go to the computer room.

There's got to be another way out of here!

But where?

Ed, we found a staircase.

'It's in the sw corner.

'Just follow the wall till you hit a door.'

I'm right behind you. Hex...

'They've found the stairs.

'We can pick them off at our leisure.'

why didn't we find these stairs when we came in?

That would've been far too easy!

Ah! Dead end!

Ah! Beckett, I saw something back up the stairs.

I've got just the thing for that.

Right. All right, all right!

I've got it! Well done!

Jackpot! This must be the control centre!

Hey! Hey, guys! Go! Over here!

Where does this go? Let's find out!

Whoa!

Who are they?

Surveillance experts working for the academy.

Well-meaning amateurs who want
to keep sport clean and gentlemanly.

I don't think we should underestimate them.

They did manage to find us here.

I never underestimate.

One of them was up to
something in hunter's office!

Bleeping

Squealing

At first, ed thought this was a game...

But it's actually a 3D map of the city.

Now, easterhaus must have had this model

used satellite photography and
some local knowledge for this.

You'll notice the prominence

given to government and military buildings.

You see, it's a plan of a military coup.

These arrows indicate a
possible route of advance.

But what's this got to do with
my sports academy? Nothing.

It's the drug he's interested in.

He using your students to test it.

This is outrageous. It stops right now!

I'm closing this research programme down.

You can't! Not now.

I'm on the verge of perfecting tri-meserone.

For what purpose, dr hunter? What purpose?

To revive our sporting fortunes!

By cheating? You know how
tight drug testing is in sport.

Ah, but that's the beauty of tri-meserone,

it's completely undetectable.

You do know easterhaus wants to use tri-meserone

for militarily purposes?

Believe me, he has no
interest in sport whatsoever.

You've got that completely wrong!

Dr hunter, he's planning a military takeover

in his own country... That's quite enough!

You really shouldn't be giving lectures

on subjects you don't understand.

Dr hunter, are we ready to
begin the final testing? Yes.

I said the test programme is finished!

It's not.

And I've found a perfect Guinea
pig to test the new tri-meserone on.

Dr defreitas?

No. Her!

Do as you're told or I'll kill dr defreitas.

Doesn't look like I have much choice, do I?

Good. I'll take these two and dr hunter with me.

Hex, you know what to do.

Bait the trap and eliminate the others.

Don't get any clever ideas -

I won't hesitate to kill you if I have to.

I've just been on the phone to the embassy.

They listen to you? Well...

It seems they've got a bit of a panic on.

Their president's due here
on a state visit tomorrow.

Well, that explains the urgency.

Easterhaus' coup is scheduled

to happen while the
president's out of the country!

Phone ringing

'Colonel easterhaus, sir.
It's hex. I've good news.

'I'm with dr hunter.

'He believes his tri-meserone work is completed.

'He can now deliver what you want.'

good, good.

I'll meet me at 9th Avenue station.

I'll bring the new batch. 'Excellent!'

what time? 'Noon.'

I'll see you there.

Change of plan? No.

Well, sounds like they've perfected it.

We better check it out.

Perfect place for a handover.

We need a vantage point.

Right, then, let's get the testing started.

I don't think we need that headset, do you?

Crackling

distorted: '..Go through all this.'

'it's a perfect way to take over control...'

'..what ros said...'

voices become clear 'imagine
an army on tri-meserone!'

white noise

we're ready.

That hurts.

Let dr defreitas go - I
said I'd do your stupid test!

I'm afraid I still have a need for dr defreitas.

Start the machine.

So, this is the new,
improved tri-meserone, is it?

The previous versions often
caused problems with athletes

when their heart rates reached 180,

but you can keep a check on your heart rate

by looking at the machine printout there.

And what will this one do to me?

We really don't know.

You may live.

You may die.

Either way, you will not be in a position

to further inconvenience my plans.

Move!

These things are turning corners!

Must be homing in on a radio frequency.

Take your headset off!

Gotcha!

I've linked your treadmill

to this machine that dr defreitas is "using".

I've set it at a level

that dr defreitas should be able to resist.

But if your heart rate falls below 140,

the mass will be increased
and dr defreitas will be crushed.

Forget me, ros, don't put yourself at risk.

Good! Good! Keep going!

This is the danger zone.

Yes! She's done it!

Excellent.

Now, with or without tri-meserone,
she can't take much more.

You'll be pleased to know that dr hunter's drug

has passed the test with flying colours.

Good. What about me?

Oh, I think you can do more, don't you?

What are you doing? She can't cope with more!

Ros pants let's see.

But she's already run faster
than a two-hour marathon.

What more do you want?

I want to take the new tri-meserone to the limit.

She's expendable. What?

Wait a minute.

So is there any truth in what she told me

about you and some invasion plan?

Are the military interested in my research?

I'm funding your research.
Just carry on with the test!

No! The test is over!

Tri-meserone works.

Well done! Well done!

How d'you feel?

Help me!

Hunter, all you've done is
push back the failure threshold!

Quickly, quickly! Hold her up!

Here.

Going somewhere? No exit!

I owe you an apology, dr hunter.

It does work. Report?

Mission objectives achieved.

I hope you weren't expecting your
friends to come and rescue you.

She breathes deeply

what? Both targets erased.

All the data is on this, the
new formula, everything?

Yes. That's right.

Excellent. Come with me now.

I want hex to be the first
to try this new tri-meserone.

Get ready to pull out.

Destroy all evidence? Completely.

You're going to blow us up!
What about those people in there?

Casualties of war. Hunter!

Is this really necessary?

This is a ball-bearing timing device.

There are 16 gallons of highly
volatile dinitrobenzene here.

The liquid is connected to the
tamper-proof timing mechanism.

When all the ball bearings reach
the bottom, the liquid will explode.

Boom! Hex.

Dr hunter?

Hex, you are honoured.

The first of a new breed of soldiers!

You really are going to start a war.

And I thought we were going
to help people win gold medals!

What is sporting combat

except a pale imitation of the glories of war?

But that's why we have sport.

It's a harmless conflict,

a safe form of rivalry between nations!

Which you wanted to cheat at.
At least war is honest combat.

"Honest"?

You used me, and now you've got what you want.

You let them go!

I'm afraid that won't be possible.

Sometimes you have to accept silver!

Move.

Move! No!

Argh!

Hunter, get out!

That was really, really stupid!

Somehow I don't think getting
in this time will be so easy!

I'm in the control suite, colonel.
'Right, can you see hunter?'

he's in the lift.

'Make sure he doesn't leave the building.'

we also have two intruders at car park level.

Easterhaus, get me out of here!

Save your strength - you'll need it.

I've adjusted the weight.

Not even three body-builders
on tri-meserone could lift that!

Easterhaus!

Shouts: Easterhaus!

Beckett, what d'you think this is?

Nothing nice!

Hex: Those two again!

Sir, the intruders have reached the lift area.

'Activate the esf barrier.'

what the hell is that?
Some kind of heat generator.

Thank god. You must help.

Hunter, look out! It's
carrying some kind of charge.

Charge? What kind of charge? Don't touch it!

Argh! Come back!

No! If he finds me, he'll kill me.

Ros strains

ros gasps

Security systems working.

Where's hunter? He's going back up in the lift.

Somewhere about level
six. He's got the tri-meserone.

I'll go after him. And the intruders?

You told me they were dead. I'm sorry, colonel.

Leave them, they can't pass the esf barrier.

Stay here. Follow hunter on these.

Beckett? Ed?

Ed? Beckett? Can you hear me?

Ros? Where are you?

We're stuck in the basement.

There's a kind of force field
barrier we can't seem to get passed.

Ok, look up at the ceiling.

There's a mushroom-shaped
receptor? Can you see it?

'That's the remote on-off for
the entire building's power supply.

'Can you access it?

'Beckett, are you still there?'

Beckett?

Yeah, ros, we're both still with you.

Just hang on a sec.

Beckett, I think I can trip an
emergency override on this thing.

Will that give us a couple of seconds?

Till it resets. Do it!

Ed laughs I never did like those trousers.

Beckett, hunter's got the
tri-meserone and the data.

'Easterhaus is stalking him,
and they've killed defreitas.'

'why? What did she do?'

nothing. She got in their
way. These people are mad.

I'll get easterhaus.

'What about the man with the missiles?'

hex? He's gone to the control room.

I'll take care of him. 'Oh, be careful!'

hex had a dose of the new tri-meserone.

Excellent(!) 'Oh, and there's another thing.

'There's a time problem.'

easterhaus has wired this place
to a huge inflammable bomb!

'This just gets better and better!'

sir, the intruders have breached the esf.

'You fool, hex! Disable the lift.'

ed? It must be an override.

They know where we are.

They're in communication with each other.

Well, I'll scan for them.

You find the control room. Excellent.

Any sighting of hunter?

Hex: 'No, sir.'

ed, I've got easterhaus.

He's on level 26.

I'm going to take the stairs this time.

Hex: Colonel, one of the intruders
is approaching your position.

'I'll be ready for him. I'm
about to eliminate hunter.'

ed: 'Ros, what's happening
with the patients up there?'

they're still being sedated.

'I think I can revive them.' Oh, yeah?

'When did you go to medical school?'

I know what I'm doing.

Well, do your thing, dr ros!

Jason! Jason! Oh!

Don't ask. "Where am I?" Right?

Good question, but it's a very
long and complicated answer!

Jason, I need you to help me with the others.

Ok?

Guys, I hate to tell you this, but this bomb

really is tamper-proof. I can't defuse it.

'Then get those people out of there, ros.'

gosh! Why didn't I think of that?

Hunter! Wait!

Shoot me and you'll never get your hands on this.

Now, stay back or this goes!

We can talk about this.

Don't waste all those years of research.

Stay away!

How are you doing? Come on,
you've got to get out. Come on.

Hunter, grab me. It's your
only chance or you're dead!

Go!

Come on!

Help me! Please, help! Gunshots

right!

Ed, can you send me the
lift now. I've got an idea.

Ed, have you got control?

Come on, ed, I need this lift.

Ed, I need it now!

Stop right there!

Away from the lift!

Hex, the lift to level 26. Now!

Ed?

Ed!

Shouts: Ed!

On the way up, ros!

Hunter, if you wouldn't mind...

I think this is goodbye.

Ros coughs

are you ok?

Ed, you really have got to work on your timing.

He gasps

that's it. I can't do any more today.

Oh, come on, mate. You've only just started!

Aw... trust me, this is gonna make
you feel great, and who knows -

maybe one day you might
win yourself one of these.

Best form of aerobic exercise
you can do, you know, skiing.

Yeah...

You know, too much exercise is bad for you!

Yeah, well, so is too little, Beckett.

Healthy body, healthy mind!

That's easy for you to say! Look at you!

Even your muscles have got muscles!

Mind you, at least Ed's 100% pure!

No tri-meserone, no artificial stimulants...

Yeah, thank you.

Almost. I, er...

I do like my chocolate!
