All language subtitles for Bugs s02e01 What Goes Up

We're still investigating the incident
at the factory. No idea on the attacker

yet. But at least the satellite should
be safe here.

Thank you for all you've done.

Without you, the RX -44 satellite would
never have reached the space agency

station.

REX will be held under armed guard both
here and on its journey to our launch

facility in Guyana.

REX? Our nickname here at the agency for
the RX -44.

Can you confirm the shuttle Excalibur
launch now, Colonel Stone?

We're just waiting for clearance from Mr
Beckett and his colleagues that we're

no longer subject to subversive
activities.

Well, Eddie's still on the case, isn't
he?

That's the alarm from the training
centre.

The shuttle's in a state of fire.

The hatch is jammed. Who's in the seat
of her?

It comes from the new guy. I can't get
them out. The controls aren't

That's what I'm looking for!

Come on, Ross.

There it is.

Any good? No.

It's been disabled.

Well, try and trigger it manually.

This is too dangerous. Only our
technicians know the wiring code.

We know what we're doing.

I think.

Any luck, Ron?

It's a complicated search.

Everyone, get down.

That's it.

Help them! Get them away from the
simulator, quick!

Give us a hand here, will you?

You okay?

Go on.

Maybe sending him undercover wasn't such
a bright idea.

Look, two of these trainees will fly the
space shuttle Excalibur that launches

Rex. This is the obvious place to look
for a trailer. I know, but not at the

risk of his life. Oh, come on. Guys.

I am here, you know.

The trouble with you two is you're
worried too much.

Those flight suits are completely fiber.
It's hardly worked up a sweat.

Yeah?

Your friend Gunter wasn't so lucky.

He lost his oxygen supply and held too
much smoke.

He died in hospital bed.

Look, what's the verdict on the other
trainees? I mean, could one of them be

saboteur?

I'll tell you something. We've done
enough simulations to put me off theme

rides for life, and I am no close to
identifying any traitor.

Well, that settles it.

Ed, we're going to pull you out.

No, leave me in the program. Just give
me more time.

Now the RX -44 satellite is safely
guarded, it seems they've turned the

their attack onto the Excalibur shuttle,
which will launch it.

Mr. Zito, are you certain your training
program is secure?

Absolutely, sir. There is no evidence
that the incident in the simulator was

sabotage.

Anyway, who would want to stop the RX
-44 from being launched?

Joy, perhaps if you told us exactly why
this satellite is so vital for your

country.

It's no ordinary telecommunications
satellite, is it?

I'd say it was designed for
subterrestrial geological surveying.

Just an educated guess.

Okay.

What do you know about my country?

Kutuma? That's a small group of islands
in the South China Sea.

Here.

Stuff with a run of brutal military
dictators, but three years ago held

elections for the first time.

You're very well informed.

He knows someone out there.

Yeah, a journalist friend of mine works
there.

Well, in that case, you'll know how poor
my country is and the size of our debts

to the global bank.

The mother of all overdrafts.

President Haikudu is convinced that the
islands have hidden platinum deposits,

but it could take up to ten years to
find their exact location with

methods. The RX -44 will locate them in
a matter of hours.

With that conclusive proof, we could
stop the banks for closing on our loans.

And if you don't?

Haikudo spent the last of our reserve
commissioning the RX -44 and booking its

launch with the Space Technology Agency.

Failure would mean economic collapse,
starvation for my people, and the return

of the criminal thugs who used to run
the country.

We cannot fail.

Not everything on the flight is under
the control of STA. This is where

developing a revolutionary new fuel cell
to power the Oreck 44 battery.

Apparently, it's a bit behind schedule.

Well, ready or not, we must make sure
it's secure.

Well, it looks finished to me, Mr.
McNair.

Well, it still needs some final testing.

Is that thing really going to power a
satellite for years?

Well, our people have managed to cram an
awful lot of energy into a very, very

tiny space.

And the special coolant solves the usual
overheating problems with micro -energy

storage. Yes.

In some ways, the coolant is the biggest
technological breakthrough.

Really? How does it work?

Well... Starting from the principle...
I'm sure the chemistry, it's all very

fascinating.

However, what we're really interested in
here is security.

Security? Yes, security.

You see, the key thing is, Mr. McNair,
is to get that fuel cell fitted onto the

RX -44's satellite as soon as possible.
Now, when are you going to finish your

test and deliver it?

It's a vacuum test for me.

It's an intruder alarm.

It's a fuel cell.

Only one of them went in.

You'll have to get the woman some other
way.

I'll get it open!

No good, it's been quite fast.

Beckett, move.

Move!

Beckett!

You okay?

Look, man.

Get off.

So this guy McNair was holding back
delivery of the fuel cell, but when you

Beckett showed up, he tried to kill you.

Someone was improvising. I don't think
McNair was a trained killer.

And now he's dead.

Price of failure.

And a way to protect the identity of his
paymaster, the trader here at STA.

Any luck with your bugs yet?

No, all I can tell you is which one
snore.

I've got to go.

Mr. Zito's got me down for another
training session.

Good luck.

Good job you didn't try and cover that
vent with your body, eh?

I've got to go and ring my tailor.

So this simulation is the robot arm
thingy.

RMS. What?

Remote Manipulator System.

Ah.

PMI.

I've made notes.

Right, who's first?

The new boy.

Now, the object of this exercise...

is to use the RMS to extract the
satellite from the cargo bay and release

into orbit.

No problem.

We've got two minutes.

Go.

No one ever does it in less than two
minutes on their first attempt.

Careful, don't rush it.

Thought I was on the clock.

You never hear of the tortoise and the
hare.

Listen, my friend.

I am no tortoise.

There. Done it.

Just over a minute.

Can you beat that? Pretty impressive,
huh?

It's not so easy in zero gravity.

You'd do well to listen to Vornhold, Ed.
She'll be commanding shuttle Excalibur

on this mission.

Santos, your turn now.

Do you have to schedule me in all these
exercises?

Well, if I didn't, the others would be
suspicious.

I have to treat you like one of the
trainees, Ed.

The trouble is I'm closer to walking on
the moon than I am to finding any

traitor

Someone's

really serious about stopping this
mission

This is personal

now

It's twice they've tried to kill me. I
want this guy bad, whoever it is.

You know, maybe you're not looking me in
the right place.

What do you mean?

Well, if McNair was a traitor, then
maybe the private guard SBA is more

too. Maybe not one of the trainees, but
one of the command staff.

Colonel Stone.

Colonel Stone.

In light of recent events...

We have to recommend that you postpone
the Excalibur launch. Postpone? Why?

We need more time to identify the person
inside STA. And we have a deadline for

this launch. This is a commercial
operation, and our contract with the

government is tough.

But surely you wouldn't want to endanger
any more lives.

What do you think about a postponement,
Mr Zeta?

With respect, sir, I think these
specialists are overreacting. We've had

security problems.

Problems? Only in the training
programme.

I've every confidence we can proceed
with this launch as planned.

Colonel, we need to talk. I've just had
word from President Haikudu.

The Global Bank has given us a final
deadline.

We have 48 hours before the state of
Kutuma is officially bankrupt.

We must bring the launch forward.

So when?

As soon as possible.

Colonel, I believe there's a launch
window in 18 hours' time.

18 hours?

Yes, but that's hardly enough notice.
Colonel, we do have a contract.

I'm sure we could make it, sir.

All right, I'll address the launch.

Start pre -launch countdown.

Now.

Attention, Guyana launch control.

We copy, Mission Control.

Go ahead, please.

Start Excalibur pre -launch countdown.

T -minus 18 hours from my mark.

Three, two, one, mark.

This is Guyana launch control confirming
switch to Excalibur pre -launch

countdown.

Look, Zito's training program is still
running. As yet, we're undecided about

the mission specialist. Your man can
stay in place until that decision is

okay? Donald Stone, the entire mission's
run from here, yes?

Yes, except for the launch, which is
controlled from Guyana.

So what's all this? A backup facility?

That's nothing. It's mothball. Yes, but
what is it?

Outside of your remit.

Mr. Zito, we have work to do.

Ever hear of Starship?

The space -based defence system. The
network of satellites armed with laser

weapons.

They said it was overbuilt.

And since when have you believed
anything they say?

As you know, the only way to create a
state of weightlessness is to take the

-135 up to about six miles.

and fall into a steep dive.

Now, many of you have already ridden the
Vomit Comet, but for those of you who

are first -timers, you may experience a
little nausea.

Right.

There's a minibus waiting to take you to
your place.

Rod.

Can you hear me?

Listen, I've been thinking about who on
the command staff had an opportunity to

sabotage the robot arm simulator.

Now, I suspect Vaughn Hall.

By Ed or whatever your name is, what the
hell's going on? It's not what you

think. No one died till you showed up.
God!

Without you, the mission could go ahead
safely.

Why was I told?

I was meant to be undercover.

Are you saying I was a suspect? Please,
please, please, please. It's all

irrelevant now.

The mission is cancelled.

But you can't.

What about Katuma?

We need the RX -44 in place now.

Joy, who's going to crew it? I don't
have a trained mission specialist I can

send up.

And even if I had, I can't risk more
lives.

The mission must go ahead as planned.

Kutuma's future depends on it.

I'm ready to fly.

I can't send you up alone.

Is there no one else?

Futurably trained? No.

Except me.

Chopper, we'll rush them to the airport.

There's a plane waiting to take them to
Guyana.

Guyana launch control. Report that virus
refueling has commenced on schedule.

Good.

Ed, you don't have to do this, you know.
Yeah, I know.

It'd be a shame to waste the training,
though. Look, Ed, listen. I scored top

marks in robot arm simulation.

It's a long -range transceiver.

Long -range?

What, orbital distance? Take it.

It's new and needs a filter.

Ed, Chopper's waiting.

Okay.

Don't worry about it, guys.

There goes a very brave young man.

Do you know what they say?

What goes up must come down.

Flight? Go ahead, guys.

Copy.

Copy, guys.

There. Our very own mission control.

Ross, how do you do that?

I mean, even at the hive we could never
crack all of SGA's codes.

What's this?

That's one of the cameras inside the
shuttle cargo bay. It's only used when

in orbit.

See? There's Rex.

Right, and this is the new fuel cell,
right? Mm -hm.

What about Ed? Can we see him in Vaughan
Hall?

We should be able to.

There he is.

Final medical test before the launch.

That's right.

No going back now.

You're very relaxed.

Yeah, well, going into space isn't a big
deal. It used to be.

Look, being a hero down here is one
thing. Up there, it's another matter.

I'm ready.

You better be.

Mistakes in space aren't funny.

Oh, that is cold.

It's the only thing in Guyana that is.

Listen, I'm going to be a bit busy for
the next 24 hours, but how about dinner

when I touch down?

So their heart rates, you'd think Ed was
the old hand.

Ros?

Ros, should this be happening? It looks
like the coolant's leaking from the fuel

cell.

You're right.

Well, surely Mission Control will spot
that, right?

There's no reason for them to check that
camera while the shuttle's still on the

ground.

Look, that's the readout mission
controller getting. According to that,

everything's normal.

Someone's falsifying the readouts.

Without the cooling system, that fuel
cell is very unstable.

It's like a little bomb.

And all it needs to set it off is a
little...

I don't understand it. SPA seems
completely cut off. All the lines in are

Well, keep trying to get through.

I'm going to go to Mission Control. See
if I can stop the launch.

Excalibur, this is Mission Control. We
are ready to take you through CST.

E -com activated.

Check. Guidance online.

Check. Inco status.

Check.

Oxygen tank.

Check. Hold on a second, Control.

We copy you, Shuttle Excalibur. Do you
want to make yourself useful?

Yeah, if I can. Hold this for me.

Continuing CSC fuel status.

Check.

Listen, I'm not a passenger, you know.

We've got to be partners. I need you,
you need me.

RMS internal guidance control.

Check.

PTC program.

Check.

Beckett. Beckett.

Rose?

I still can't get through. Even the
dedicated landlines are dead, and the

countdown's continuing, and no one seems
to have noticed the leak at mission

control.

We'll try to contact Ed directly.

Suppose I were to piggyback a signal on
the STA wavelength.

You'd need a microwave uplink dish to do
that, Rose.

Yes, I would.

I might just be able to help you with
that.

There's a high of auxiliary microwave
station at map reference...

5 -2 -2 -4 -4 -8 Unmanned? Fully
automated.

The best place to input your signal will
be level 12, but I'm warning you, Ros.

That's a bit of a climb.

Terrific.

The shuttle's in danger.

Where's Colonel Stone?

There's a problem with that fuel cell.

You'd better come with me.

Isn't Stone in mission control?

No, no. He's in the communications
center down here.

Colonel Stone!

Mr Beckett to see you, sir.

Cargo door sealed and secure.

Copy, Excalibur.

O -Tech's complete.

What do we do next?

I normally start praying around now.

Control, this is shuttle Excalibur
confirming ready for launch.

Copy,

Excalibur.

Have a good one.

Scared now?

Maybe. I was, first time.

Actually, I get pretty scared every
time.

T minus four minutes, forty -five, and
counting.

We're all in the human.

I haven't felt like this since I had my
tonsils out.

Diana, launch control, you are go for
launch.

Repeat, go for launch.

Transferring command and control to your
station.

We copy, mission control.

We have go for launch.

Total control accepted by this station.

The hell is that?

Not sure.

Sorry, I keep telling him not to bleep
me at work. Yeah?

Hello, Excalibur, come in.

Ed. Ed, can you hear me?

Ed!

Excalibur!

Ed,

if you can hear me, you must abort this
mission.

The cargo bay will explode.

Ed, the fuel cell in the cargo bay will
explode.

Ed!

Ed, you must abort the mission.

We have to abort.

Control, we have a problem.

Diana?

Diana?

Diana?

Come in. Sir, we've lost all contact
with Excalibur. Well, get it back.

Excalibur. Launch control. Come in.

Systems look good. Go for launch,
Excalibur.

Abort launch. Repeat. We must abort the
launch. Control.

Do you copy?

Maybe I should let you see the file.

Mission control to Excalibur. Launch
control.

Launch control.

I'm in Guyana.

I've just had a run -in with your Mr.
Zito.

He's your traitor.

Zito?

Can't abort.

Guyana has control.

Communications have been interrupted. We
can see them again now, but we can't

contact them or the shuttle.

Excalibur, do you read me?

This is Zito's work. Excalibur.

Maybe I can track down his equipment by
the RF leakage.

What frequency are your radio comms on?
18 ,000 millihertz.

18 ,000.

Control, do you copy? Control.

And counting.

Control, this is shuttle Excalibur.

Ed, Ed, where are you going?

Control, do you copy? We must abort
launch. Do you copy?

Control, do you hear me? This is shuttle
Excalibur. All systems go for launch.

Guyana Launch Control, this is Colonel
Stone.

We have a code 3 -4 -0 error situation.

Abort launch.

I'm afraid they can't hear you, Colonel.

Guyana Launch Control, this is Mission
Control.

Go ahead, Mission Control. You went
awful quiet for a moment there.

Everything looks good from here.

This is Guyana launch control confirming
switch to shuttle internal power.

This is shuttle Excalibur. We confirm
internal power.

Excalibur crew, close and lock visors.
Initiate oxygen flow.

Have a good flight.

Can't you stop the launch from here?

Only launch controlling Guyana could
stop it now, and we can't reach them.

Ed,

get back in here now. If you're in that
hole when we launch, you'll be killed.

Yeah, and if we launch with this fuel
cell still in place, it'll heat up and

we'll be blown to pieces.

Beckett.

Beckett! Get the doors open, quickly!

Control!

Launch control!

Power for main engine ignition.

Nine. Twelve.

Seven. Ten. Ready?

Nine. Eight.

Seven. Main engine ignition.

He's gone through the air vent.

You two, cut him off!

I've got to re -establish communication
to the shuttle.

Good luck, Ed.

Radio communications back online, sir.

Okay, Scalabar.

Looking good.

Well, where the hell's Ed?

Control, do you read me?

Scalabar, we have your signal back now.

Control, we have a problem with the
satellite fuel cell.

Scalabar, where's your mission
specialist?

Ed was in the cargo bay at launch.

Susan!

Susan! I'm okay!

Can you get to the fuel cell?

Copy Control, we'd like that data.

Test records show that the unprotected
fuel cell explodes at 104 degrees.

Well, it's way below that in here at the
moment.

It won't be when our orbit takes us into
direct sunlight, Ed.

How long till that happens?

About two minutes.

Yeah, join.

30 seconds till we hit sunlight.

We're about to hit sunlight.

I'm doing what I can to delay it
reaching the cargo bay.

Temperature by 5 degrees and rising.

55 degrees, rising.

62 degrees.

Temperature 74 degrees and rising. 74
degrees.

Temperature 88 degrees and rising. 88
degrees.

Temperature 92 degrees and rising.

94 degrees.

1 -0 -0 degrees.

1 -0 -2 degrees rising.

It's still completely unstable.

How do we get rid of it?

W -A -L. What?

Waste airlock, there.

Another two degrees and we'd have been
cosmic dust.

Pull the lever to Jefferson.

Excalibur. A whole room full of people
just started breathing again.

Take the next step. We'll cut him off.

Nearly got him.

There he is.

Just like with Pear.

Outlook gives usefulness too.

One thing's for certain.

Whoever's behind all this, they're not
going to give up now.

You know, Ed, I always said you'd go
far.

Well, you know what they say, one small
step for man... Yeah, yeah, we've heard

that one thing.

Well, I'd better practise.

I'll probably be an international
celebrity once we land, people who want

know whose shirts I wear.

With your dress sense, I doubt it.

Thanks a lot.

Listen, I've got to go. It's time for my
party piece.

I have to deploy the RX -44 so I can
start locating Katooma's hidden wealth.

Scalabert, you have a go to operate the
RMS now.

What is it?

It's impossible.

Starshield firing up.

Up to you now.

Ed.

Starship was mothballs. What is it? It's
a laser -based weapon system housed in

a satellite.

It's actually been built and put up
there. Well, it looks like it, yeah. The

question is, who's controlling it now?

No, I can't override it.

It seems to be taking aim at the
shuttle.

Damage report.

Shuttle Excalibur, come in.

What's going on up there?

The limit is down.

Excalibur's not responding to anything.

What about Ed and Bornhold?

They're trapped up there in space.

Well, they're already dead.
