All language subtitles for The Protectors s02e25 The Insider

Dave? Dave?

Well, it all sounds too technical, too
meticulous to me.

I mean, arsons are impulsive and crude.

Use gasoline and matches.

More malice than preparation.

It's an emotional thing.

It sounds to me to be very calculated.

That's why I called you, Harry. I need
your professional opinion.

What do you want me to do?

Well, before our friend destroyed every
last foot of working stock, he was at

the vaults.

The master negative is in there waiting
to be graded.

It's gone.

You know, I'm responsible for an
investment of five million dollars.

It's the best film I ever made. The
premiere's in seven weeks.

And all that's left is a room full of
buckled acetate. The only print I had.

Whoever it is knows the technology.

Knew what to destroy and how.

Knew where the master negative was and
its value.

The police don't know about the
negative.

I don't know what to do, you see.

I'm still confused, but I've got to get
that negative back, Harry, and quickly.

Isn't it insured?

Yes, but if the insurance company get to
hear of it, so will the financiers.

If this gets out, Harry, I'm finished.

You've got to go there, sir. Mr.
Chambers has somebody with him.

Who the hell are you?

Oh, call me what?

Smith. That's suitably anonymous.

Now, consider this a gift of proof.

The remaining ten cans will cost you 10
,000 pounds.

Each.

Well, aren't you going to open it?

Oh, it's your film.

I don't understand.

Oh, it really is very simple. I'm
ransoming your future, Mr. Chambers.

Your terms and arrangements.

Ah. Now, you seem to understand.

The first exchange will be for five
cans.

Why not all?

Because this is the way I require it.

The currency?

International bearer bonds.

And the exchange where?

Here, 4 .30.

What, in three hours?

Sorry, we can organise it. That is what
I like to hear.

Don't waste time and energy trying to
follow me.

And, of course, any hint of police
involvement and... The remainder of the

negative is wired for destruction in
exactly 26 minutes and 8 seconds. That

if I'm hindered in any way from getting
back to diffuse it.

I don't believe it. I do.

Stay here.

I'm sorry about... Mr. Chambers, I just
couldn't stop him.

I see a guy come out of here just now
with a bowler hat.

No, sir, not with a bowler hat.

Thank you.

There must be other exits.

Yeah, two.

They're fire escapes, but they're
locked.

They're set to open on automatic release
that's synchronized with the alarm

system. Now, there's an underground car
park, but the elevator stops at the

ground. So you have to walk down past
the desk.

I can't believe that no one saw my The
Come or Go.

I've got it. Oh.

Looks like it belonged at Sherlock
Holmes.

Mm -hmm.

How many copies do you want?

Two, four, six should be enough.

Okay.

Well, no plan is perfect. There must be
a vulnerable point somewhere.

I should say that arrogance is his
weakness.

Right. Well, what are we going to do?

Well, proceed with caution until he
miscalculates.

And we'll have to be cautious because he
wasn't kidding about destroying the

negative.

Is he going to show?

Oh, he'll show. Don't worry.

They should guarantee me two tickets to
the premiere.

Your clock's half a minute slow.

Punctuality is advice with you.

We all have obsessions.

Is that it?

The bombs.

Thank you.

Nothing personal.

Oh, you can keep the case.

The police are treating the fire as
revenge.

Revenge. Yes, that's a vindictive need
for returning ill.

Or is it just the perennial human
weakness?

Avarice. You remind me of my philosophy
tutor.

He was famous for oblique questions.

The remaining five cans?

Oh, I'll contact you.

When? When I'm ready to.

You're enjoying this.

It keeps me from getting bored.

You have expensive tastes and
diversions.

Yes. A conversation is such a time
waster.

I do hope I don't have to repeat my
boring warning.

I do hope not.

Now, go.

Careful, Harry.

He still has half the film.

Smith has left.

Proceeding to the elevator.

Out. Right.

It was in the elevator.

It was empty, Harry.

I'm Paul. Report in.

Negative. Ellis?

Sorry, Harry.

Long? No luck, Harry.

All right, then he hasn't left. Search
the building, pal.

You stay here in case he's not back.

Yes? YXP 750 approaching the main road.
Out.

Thanks.

You're never going to believe this.

That is delicious.

What is it?

It's ginger, sherry, soy sauce, a little
corn flour, some water, and grated

onions. Your own recipe?

It's kind of adapted, traditional.

Dragon shrimps.

In China, the small lobsters are called
dragon shrimps.

And more ginger.

You know, until Smith contacts Chambers,
we have no idea where the final

exchange will be made.

With what he's got going for him in that
building, I'd say it would be a cinch

to be in the office.

He took his time to lower that cradle. I
mean, why?

Why bother?

Well, either he used it to get away, and
I was late, or it was, you know, a

decoy.

When?

I only give this about nine hours.

Okay. Right. Bye.

How long do you think it'll take us to
organize 50 ,000 pounds in loan notes?

I sincerely hope you're not going to
disappoint me, Mr. Chambers.

The money will be here.

When?

It's not easy to raise that amount of
money.

Particularly at night.

Well, you've done what you ask.

There's no deception.

Oh, you wouldn't be that misguided.

Oh, would you?

I wouldn't let your obsession with time
overrule your intelligence.

Yes, I am meticulous, but imperfection
has become the universal norm.

Oh, it's very depressing.

Sorry I'm late, sir.

Thank you.

Is that all, sir? Yes.

Yes, thank you, Miss Hensley.

50 ,000.

Now, it's surprising what you can do
with a little imagination.

Where's the negative?

XLC889F.

In the garage, in the boot.

Now, you have seven minutes and...

41 seconds before the car and your
precious negative turn to ashes. All

except one reel.

Now, look, I was agreed.

It's a little personal insurance.

Now, it'll be delivered. I'm sure you
understand.

Look, the deal was that when we handle
you, our wasting time... How do we

it? A simple switch.

Come on.

Yes, Harry.

Thonstrade is here somewhere.

Hurry!

Too late, Harry.

Oh, my prince.

He even said you're looking for
Caroline.

I found her.

He must be miles away by now. He's up
here somewhere. It all seems so obvious

now. He never left the building. You
mean he was up here all the time? Yeah.

Where is he? That's what we've got to
find out.

Nothing. No sign anywhere.

Open heavenly. Yes.

Ah, he was here.

Not too long ago.

Where's Harry? He's over there.

I think we found Smith.

We need some more torches.

Okay.

Quick way. That way.

There must be a master switch back
there.

Hi. Did you get it? Yep, the last can.

Thanks, Harry.

All of you, thanks for everything.

I didn't think Smith would lie under the
circumstances.

He nearly made it.

Yeah, well, we made him late. Ruined his
timing.

Thanks. Cheers.
