All language subtitles for Press Gang s01e08 How To Make A Killing 2

Hi. You're ten minutes early.

Ten minutes and two days.

I know what happened to your brother,
Jenny.

All I need to know now is why nobody
will talk about it and why you draw on

pavements.

But can we go for a walk or something?

I don't want to talk in front of your
parents.

What makes you think I'm going to tell
you anything?

Why do you even want to know?

Don't move. I'm getting my coat.

I don't believe it. I mean, I've been
doing this astrology column for six

and no one even bothers telling me
purple isn't a car.

Colin, it's for you.

Any word from Kenny?

Yeah, two.

Second one was off.

Terrific. Sarah?

Henry. I haven't spoken to you since we
set up that deal for the 14 second -hand

brand.

Well, it must have been a very heavy
baby.

Danny, how many eggs in photograph?

Well, hey, come on. What do you want me
to do about it?

Please. Please, Sarah.

Henry, what use would I be to you dead?

Kenny's been gone two days. I need an
assistant editor.

You see that pile of work heaped over
there? Somewhere under it is my desk.

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't an
emergency.

Look, I've got three stories to do for
the next edition, two cinema reviews and

so much homework I will not get to bed
between school days.

You don't know what you're doing to me,
Jackson.

Yes, I was going to deliver the breaks.

What did she leave it on a hill for
anyway?

Spike, Kenny's gone and I need a new
assistant editor.

Yeah? Could you stand in till I find
one?

Hey, I'm going to be assistant editor.

Acting assistant editor.

Temporary. Is that better?

It is for me. Come on.

Now she makes me temporary acting
assistant editor?

Is that a come on or what?

Spike, you weren't exactly my first
choice. I asked everyone I liked first.

Well, that's encouraging.

Out of everyone you don't like, at least
I'm your favorite.

Another little disagreement, children?

No.

Good answer.

Right. You use Kenny's desk.

These three drawers are mine. The bottom
three are yours.

Gotcha, boss.

And try and remember that although we
use separate in trays, we always use the

same out tray.

Hey, does that mean we're engaged?

Spike, do you know what's going to
happen if you keep cracking jokes?

What? You'll say something funny.

So cruel.

So cruel. I get worse.

Right.

Kenny's notes on the high point story.

Get them in order, trim them down, and
give them to the first one on the

team who's free.

Except Tom, because he's an idiot.

But they're only half finished.

I mean, it's all mystery, no answers.

So, if you've got no answers, you make
the questions bigger.

Two years ago, Michael Elliott falls
from the very top of High Point Tower

Block. It's called an accident.

But how can anyone accidentally fall
over a ten -foot barrier?

And if it was suicide?

Then why didn't he take the easier ride
out the open window a floor below?

Did he climb another staircase just to
make it harder on himself?

What about his sister?

The best bit.

Every month since her brother's death,
Jenny Elliott comes to High Point and

draws the outline of his body on the
spot where he fell, one arm pointing at

row of shops.

Why did she do it?

What does she know?

Do I include a bit about our ex
-assistant editor?

You know, figuring out what happened and
then not telling us.

And then walking out on the newspaper
because he's gone nuts for Jenny Elliot

and doesn't want to turn her into a
newspaper story on her first date.

I was only asking.

Did you hear about Kenny?

I don't want to hear that name unless
it's attached to an insult.

I saw him going to the station after
school.

4 .20.

So?

The next train's at 4 .30.

So?

First stop, Mackton, then Jenny Elliot.

Look, we're going kind of fast, aren't
we? Yeah, I'll say.

I can remember when you just were a
sweet guy who took the wrong school bag.

Yeah, you didn't even believe that at
the time. I also wouldn't have believed

you were only interested in me for my
dead brother. Listen, if that's what

you're into, I can set you up with a
girl with two for even a sort of a

date.

Look, can we talk now? Have you got
anything else smart you'd like to say?

talk, I'll listen.

You tell me how you know what happened
to Michael.

What, you mean I shouldn't know?

Are you kidding?

Look, my dad's a rich man. He's got all
the right friends.

He's had that story killed in every
newspaper, but there's so much glance at

So how come Kenny, the boy reporter,
knows the whole thing?

The boy reporter worked it out.

How?

An old man used the High Point lift just
after your brother, and he said that it

smelled like a cleaning lady's bucket,
which got me thinking.

Suppose your brother was sniffing
solvents in the lift. I mean, that'd

the smell.

Suppose he just went up to the top of
the building for a bit of peace and

passing out.

Suppose it was so hot... Jenny, I've
heard of it happening. Kids are so high

glue, they think they can fly.

Look, my guess is he just went up on one
of the barriers and he just took off.

The ground must have come as a bit of a
surprise.

Go home.

What?

Go home, Kenny, now.

I don't understand you, Elliot.

Yeah, I know.

You spent two years drawing your
brother's body on the pavement right

fell. You spend two years trying to be
noticed, and when somebody does, what do

you do?

Yeah, you're right.

I want it to be noticed.

But the trouble is, boy reporter, you
notice the wrong thing.

So he got back on at seven o 'clock last
night? And if you subtract the times

for both journeys, he couldn't have been
in Macton for more than about an hour

and a half.

That's not long enough for a date.

So if he's seen Jenny Elliot... That
means he's working on the story.

But if he's working on the story, why
isn't he working here?

Thanks anyway, Danny.

All wrongly filed.

Most people, Spike, know how to spell
the alphabet.

Don't tell me it's got two L's.

Virgo. Check.

Scorpio.

Check.

Kenny.

No, no, I don't think we've got that
one.

Hi, Billy.

Oh, look, history.

I need to talk to you.

Did you try everyone who could walk away
first?

Listen, you know that business I was
telling you about? You know, the High

Flats and Jenny Elliott?

I remember you fancied one of them.
Look, I told you I felt like a rat for

to Jenny, and I got the feeling you
thought I was a rat too.

Whatever gave you that idea?

Roll up your tail and sit down.

And why is Jeff on the school story
instead of Sally?

Sally had to go home.

Had to what?

Spike, we've got rules about people
ducking work.

Yeah, I know. Only four grandparent
funerals per person.

She was sick. I had to let her go. Did
you use a thermometer?

You didn't tell me I was allowed to do
physicals.

Spike, I've got to have proof.

So I'm told. Is it true you made a guy
bring home his tonsils from the

Linda.

Oh, does that mean I'm fired now?

What's he doing here?

What are they saying? Did you get close
enough?

No, sorry.

Spike, have we got anyone who can lip
-read?

No. Then why not?

What?

What does she mean, why not?

You know what? She's laughing.

Colin, what are you doing? If a man
comes looking for me with a pram wheel,

you just tell him I've moved to Canada?

The wrong thing. Yeah, that's what she
said. I noticed.

So how can I help?

Well, look, you think I'm a rat for what
I'm doing, right? And so does she, so

maybe you can tell me what I'm doing
wrong. I mean, she did want to be

But what did she want noticed?

Maybe not herself.

Maybe not even her brother.

The drawing was pointing, wasn't it?

Yeah, at the shop.

Where he bought the solvents?

Could be.

It's illegal to sell that stuff to the
underage, do you know?

So the shopkeeper sold it to Jenny's
brother and made a profit out of killing

him? So the dead finger points at the
murderer.

Billy, you're a genius.

What little of me works in trolley gold.
Well, I'd better get out of the shop

then and talk to the guy.

Well, before you do, I've got a
photograph of Jenny.

Yeah, Danny took some pictures.

I'll settle for the one you've got on
you.

Now, they're seriously female.

She'd have any guy stockpiling the
Bitcoin.

Yeah, she's nice, isn't she?

Could be, Adam.

What?

A girl in my class at school, when I
still had a few working parts.

So good to look at. She could wear your
eyes out.

Is this a reader's true romance?

Yeah, I love them folk stories. My
sister keeps forgetting to buy them.

She kept looking at me.

You know, it's like she maybe... Fancied
you.

But I couldn't be sure.

I mean, I didn't dare try anything in
case I was wrong.

So I had this little idea.

I'd leave a note in the desk, and all it
would say would be, Dear Crispin, this

is a note from the guy you fancy most.

Because I reckon the first thing she'd
do after reading it would be look at the

guy she fancied most.

And if it was me, I'd be past the tape,
the crowd would be cheering, and I

wouldn't be a bit embarrassed.

Did it work out?

Never got round to trying.

Well, what happened?

You're looking at it.

Took my bike right to the intensive
care.

Yeah. Anyway, you'd better be going now.

Shop will be closing soon. Yeah, right.
Look, thanks a lot, Billy. Cheers.

No problem.

And good luck with a lady.

Kenny?

Kenny! What are you doing?

Well, I thought if Kenny was back that I
should... Think for yourself when I

tell you.

Oh, never mind.

Maybe next time she'll fire you.

Kenny!

We'd like to speak to Colin Matthews,
please.

Excuse me.

You don't know me, but a friend of mine
used to come here and he used to buy

glue.

Tholvent bathed.

No problem.

£2 .50.

Jenny? Oh, sorry, Mrs Elliot. You really
sound like your daughter.

Is she there, please? It's Kenny
Phillips.

Oh, is that what she said about me?

Yeah, I can understand that.

And that.

Yeah, and that too.

Listen, could you give her a message for
me, please?

Yeah, could you just tell her that I've
noticed the right thing now?

Tell her I don't know what I'm going to
do about it, but... Just that I'd

noticed it.

Yeah, no, that's all for now, thanks.

Yeah,

okay then.

Thanks a lot, Mrs Elliot.

Hi, folks.

Your old friend, Spike Thompson,
welcoming you once again to the Miss

Human Being Contest.

And our first contestant is Linda, heart
of Teflon, Day.

Spike, tell Dennis we're cutting the
drafts and tell Colin I can add up and

to try it on again.

And move a little faster, Spike. We
could end up going monthly.

You know, I used to have quite a tough
reputation in this town.

I once got attacked by five other guys,
and nobody would believe that they

started it.

You've been telling that story since
there were only two other guys.

And Linda's favorite color is obedience.

That's right, friends. And her favorite
pastime is biting the drills off of

Dennis. She can be hard, can't she?

Hard? They had to use an industrial
laser to piss her ears.

What are they?

What, the pile of prams? Yeah. Some
stuff Colin picked up, I think.

Yeah, what did he do with the babies?

High point jump juice.

One whiff of that and you fly straight
to the ground.

Let me guess.

He was high enough to think he didn't
need anything under him.

He was right for the first ten floors.

That's a good story.

Good enough to walk out over.

It's a great story. It's a wonderful
story, but forget it, because I've got

something better.

Getting away with murder.

How many times have I told you about
thinking for yourself?

Yeah, well, I don't believe it gives you
cancer.

OK, talk.

OK, everyone, listening time.

As of now, every story for the next
edition is cancelled.

We've got something big to do.

Probably the biggest thing we'll ever
do. And your cooperation is more than

appreciated. It's compulsory.

Will someone get Colin out from under
those prams?

Not big enough.

Can we clear some more deck, please? We
need another four.

Sarah, everybody has to do this. Let's
buy... Everybody, Sarah.

Now, remember, you're mean.

You're tough. You're hard.

Okay? Now ask me.

Could I buy some solvent -based
products, please?

Not big enough.

We'll just need to put some spots around
the mouth and get them to look dopey.

Believe me, Julie, we've got dopey
looking legs.

Frazz?

You're tough.

You mean.

You're bad, okay? You're street.

You're the kind of person who's rude to
all people.

You know?

You get up from the dinner table. You
don't ask permission.

You're the kind of person who eat a jam
donut, you know.

And you won't wipe your mouth
afterwards.

You are bad.

So go ahead, ask me.

Can I buy some solvent?

Please.

Look, after a mess -up like this, you
need to get involved in something

improve your image.

My image is fine.

Are you kidding?

But you can't make any mistakes with
babies.

Ask any politician who's dropped one.

Yes, Mrs. Elliot.

Listen, could you just make sure that
Jenny gets a copy of the next edition of

the Junior Gazette?

Thanks very much.

From now on, Sarah, you're a different
person.

You don't say words like please and
thank you anymore, OK?

Sorry, Spike.

You know, Mrs Elliot, you really do
sound like your daughter.

No way, Linda, some of those shops
advertise with us.

Do you ever think of anything except
money?

Sure. What?

No, don't, curtsy!

Well? I'm trying to think. It was a long
time ago.

Yo, Danny.

Hey, what is it?

Can I ask you why you think it's
perfectly all right to throw dangerous

to an obvious glue sniffer? One of your
spots is falling off.

Oh, jeez. Who are you?

Junior Gazette.

Maxwell's Newmarket. I want you to go
down the high street, okay? Cut through

the shopping centre, out of Baker
Street, and there's Jefferson's

down there. I want you to go down, check
out the situation there, okay? Go,

guys.

Okay?

Got this at the supermarket.

Good stuff. Danny, the supermarket.

Sarah, you're doing really well. Go
shove it. That's my girl.

Lisa just signed in. No hits at Dover
Road and they're moving on to Weston

Street. Should mean Spots Team are
halfway down.

Spots Team are moving pretty slow.
They'll never make it to Benton Falls.

will scare them on the next phone in.
We've got to cover all the shops.

Got these in Charlotte Street. Where do
you want me to put them?

Number 8.

Maybe Lisa's team could help them out.
They're only two streets away.

Terrific. I'll be right over to collect
the money then, Mr Graham.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

Now, why do I know you're talking about
money?

Kenny, we're off out again. Lincoln
Street.

OK, will you give us a call when you get
there? There's a phone box on the

corner. OK.

I'm phoning these guys, right?

The ones that don't know they've been
hit. And I'm saying, hey, we're doing a

big feature on your shop, which is true,
so why don't you take out a big advert

just to beef up the impact?

And they're saying, hey, great idea.
Then I'm charging them twice the normal

rate because of the size of the spread
they're getting.

It's beautiful.

They're paying us to expose them.

Colin, you are remembering it was our
idea.

Hey, guys, I'd never have thought it up
without you.

Do you think we should tell him we're
giving all the money to the hospital?

Don't be cruel.

Linda, what do you think?

There you go, Linda.

Biggest front page we've ever done.

Yes, we can verify everything it says in
the paper.

And we will do if we're asked.

Well, thank you. Thank you very much.

You're too kind.

Please call again.

That's the fourth death threat today.

Hey, Kenny, how did it go at the police
station?

Well, Inspector Hawkins said he can't
approve of what we're doing.

And congratulations.

Is he following us up? Of course not.

He'll get back to us when he has.

Great. Oh...

Kerr says it's the best edition we've
ever produced and he wants to speak to

personally. Yeah?

Yeah. He wants to take the hand of the
person responsible.

This is a big story, Kenny.

We'll be weeks just clearing up after
it.

So well done and welcome back.

Oh, Penny?

Yeah?

Never mind.

Temporary acting assistant editor?

Yes?

You're fired.

Thanks, Bart.

You won't regret this.

I'm touched.

No other guy ever tried to close down a
business for me.

Well, if you can't put a few people out
of work for a friend.

Happy endings are so predictable.

Me, I like the unexpected.

Princess kisses frog and it's a girl.

Could happen. Yeah, sure, as frogs are
princes.

Some of them turn out to be not too bad.

Shall we go for a walk?

Easy for you guys to say.

Don't let the wheelchair pull you,
Keith.

I'm just leaving my body to science.

It's dangerous.

This story's getting a ton of reaction.
I'm really glad you decided to come in

and help.

I'm glad you've told me that's what I've
decided.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but
quite frankly, I think selling solvents

to children is a lot more irresponsible
than anything we printed.

It's mad, really.

I almost feel guilty.

Some of these people could lose their
living.

These people aren't making a living,
Jenny.

They're making a killing.

Colin, are you hiding from anything?

Of course I'm not hiding, Fraz. Why
would I be hiding?

Well, it's just that you're standing in
a cupboard. I took a wrong turning. And

you're wearing dark glasses.

So? And a beard. A beard?

Oh, no.

Puberty. Colin, what are you hiding
from?

Why have you got to assume I'm hiding?
Why has everyone got to assume I'm

hiding? It's getting so a guy can't
disguise himself and stand in a cupboard

anymore. There's no one you're trying to
avoid, then?

Of course there isn't. So why did you
try to get Linda to print your obituary

the paper?

I wasn't feeling very well.

Oh, by the way, friends, if a guy comes
looking for me, talking about prams,

could you, you know, for a joke, tell
him I'll be out of town till Christmas

sometime next century?
