All language subtitles for Bugs s02e06 Gold Rush.eng

I've heard that since the foundation of
the East European Monetary Commission,

the GMP of member states has risen by
38%. Leave all that to the bureaucrats

the economists.

Your job here will not involve you in
exchange rates or monetary theory.

But the Commission plays a vital role in
regulating the currencies of the

Eastern Alliance states.

Look, if you want to get on in technical
services, Miss Pike, you'd best forget

your fancy economic theories.

It's all hands -on graph here.

4 -2 -double -8 -dash -3.

Impressive, isn't it?

Entire buildings run from here.

Communication, security, heating,
lighting, air conditioning.

The lot.

Including the gold vault.

Do you know of any vaults?

Simply that the gold in it validates the
commission's currency transactions.

Without it, all those currencies would
collapse.

You say so.

You're the one with the university
degree.

All I know is that the vault is a
completely salt -contained underground

facility. But I won't see the vault.

Ha, ha, ha. Not until you've reached the
senior grade, you won't know.

Now, only hand -picked men, almost like
hand -picked staff, are allowed anywhere

near the gold.

Right, now then, look here, see?

is a diagrammatic representation of the
Commission's entire computer network.

Ah!

Instant promotion.

Let our friends loose.

It's working already.

The Eastern European currency markets
cannot function without the Commission's

computerised trading network.

Except, of course, the Baltic Mark.

Now all I have to do is get out of here.
Hi.

What the hell are you doing?

Resigning. The computers are dying.

What have you done?

Release technology beyond your
comprehension.

How did the virus get into the system?

There was an intruder. A man's been
killed.

Everything happened so fast.

How long since the first computer
failure?

22 minutes.

I'm making a computer crash first, then
the trading network.

We have nine minutes until total system
failure.

If it is a computer virus, Ross,
wouldn't the effect be instantaneous?

Not necessarily.

If it's a semi -intelligent program, it
may need time to do its stuff.

Your first problem is that our security
set -up's also computerised, and that's

gone down, locking all the security
doors. Our environmental and security

suite's in here.

Now, if we could just get in there... We
might be able to make a start.

Voice activated.

System's down. It's used.

More than bank on it.

All you've got to do is wipe on the
voice recognition.

Well, our security consultants are
surely... But even without power, these

are impregnable.

What?

Better get yourself some new security
consultants.

There. You can see we've lost all
computer function on floors 1, 2 and 3.

Our core data is on level 10.

If we lose that, the Eastern European
Monetary Commission would completely

to function.

The only worst case scenario would be if
we were to lose all the gold reserves

themselves. We'll just have to stop it
then.

I'm decoupling the network around level
8. That should create a kind of dead

computer moat around the core data.

That should stop it.

Now, there's no connection between the
core data and the rest of the system.

Which should leave us enough time to
retrieve the core data safely.

Guys.

Guys, the virus has just jumped the
moat. That's not possible.

I'm telling you, have a look. It just
happened.

Maybe our diagnosis is wrong.

You mean it's not a computer virus?

Maybe the problem's not electronic, but
something physical.

Is there some physical link between all
these computers?

There's a self -contained cooling system
which ventilates the entire network.

It's not a computer virus at all. It's
an airborne infection.

Airborne? Like germs?

I mean, something in the air in that
cooling system is physically attacking

computer. But, Ros, these computers are
working.

But they're not served by the same
cooling system.

Which proves our thesis.

We're running out of time.

Three minutes until the core data is
compromised.

If only there was a way to physically
remove it. Why is that a problem?

You lose the data if you just pull the
memory chips from the mainframe.

Not in our case.

Our mainframe uses a dynamic RAM with
its own power source.

What?

Cool bananas. In that case, we can just
use brute force.

Core data is on level 10.

And with all these systems failures, our
lifts are out.

10th floor.

Do you even pause? There's no lift. Ed,
you'd better get going.

Can't we shut down the cooling system
and stop the infection spreading that

Well, not from here.

But there is a manual access to the
cooling system in the basement.

I'm on to it.

I'm in the basement.

I'm just locating the cooling system
control.

Welcome to the core data site.

Deactivating.

Now.

Have we done something wrong?

No, no. It's just the alarm letting us
know that Beckett's turned off the

cooling system.

That's okay, then.

Not really.

Without the cooling system, that data
bank will overheat and explode.

Great. I love a challenge.

I found the memory chips. They're on...

They're on three motherboards. Right,
that's the data bank.

Pull the boards and get the hell out of
there, Ed.

Ed,

what is taking you so long?

I'm on the third board.

She doesn't want to talk.

making money for us?

Currency speculation.

If you know the markets, you can quickly
double your investment.

I've no clue what you're actually doing.

What does this one mean?

That's the level of our profits so far.

There's your gymnasium and that's the
staff swimming pool.

And what happens when the column reaches
here?

Anything. Everything.

Guys, the Monetary Commission is
functioning again.

Cool.

Why would someone use this to try and
close it down?

The Commission stores the bullion
reserves and regulates the currencies

former Eastern Alliance states.

The only people who might profit from a
collapse in those currencies are

international speculators.

Big banks, organised crime.

Ah, nothing new there then.

So here's something interesting in the
online global bank registry.

A speculator called Maximilian Christo
has been buying up significant amounts

the Baltic Mark.

What's so special about that?

Well, the ruble, the lev, the zloty and
the forint are all regulated by

Vanguard's outfit.

But not the Baltic Mark.

It's the only one of the Eastern
European currencies which opted out of

Commission's authority.

So if the attack had been successful and
all these other currencies had gone

down, the Baltic Mark would have
survived.

Even in the 40 minutes the system was
offline, the Baltic mark went up 10 % in

value. If that continued, this Christo
would have made a huge profit.

Sounds like a good motive to me.

There's something else odd about our Mr
Christo.

He's recently acquired a company called
BioGrow, a biochemical research outfit.

Biochemistry?

What's he going to do with that?

BioGrow are into bioengineering. They
manufacture microorganisms.

In other words...

germs and bacteria and microbes and
stuff.

Well, maybe that's the answer.

Biogro may have developed... Well, they
may have developed some kind of computer

-eating bacteria.

Oh, come on, hey, please.

You know, that's not such a wild idea.

I mean, there are billions of naturally
occurring microbes. Some eat plastic,

some concrete.

Well, why not one that feeds on
computers?

Dr. Russell?

Yes. Can we get started?

I'm afraid you've rather caught us on
the hop. We had no warning of an

inspection. Well, that's the whole idea.

Does the Biohazard Safety Council like
to surprise people?

Where would you like to begin?

I guess the main lab would be the
perfect place to start.

You've nothing to hide, have you?

One of us should have done it.

No. He's quite convincing as a
scientist. He's doing fine.

Let's take a closer look at this, shall
we?

Miss Pike.

I'm sure you have more important things
to do.

In the main lab, we find waste disposal
systems meeting CGEE

standards 245.

And toxin management systems also
conforming to current international...

Well, there is some kind of biological
residue in the shell.

Whatever infected the cooling system
certainly came out of here.

Is it a microbe?

Can you identify it?

Well, it's alive.

Oh.

I don't believe it, but it was right.

The Commissioner's computers were
attacked by a microbe. Yeah, but what

a microbe can so completely destroy
computer systems? Ouch!

What's the matter? My ring is burning.

It's turning black.

That's impossible. It's 22 carat gold.

Of course.

That's how they got at the commission's
computers. All the electrical tracks on

each PCB are made of gold.

This is impossible.

Gold is non -reactive. Even acids have
no effect on it. That's why it's used in

printed circuit boards.

Gold is indestructible. Look at it, Roz.

It's not indestructible anymore.

Claims to be from the Biohazard Safety
Council.

You don't believe he's genuine?

Call it a woman's instinct.

Make sure.

Test him.

Ed, you might not believe this. What
we're looking for is a microbe that eats

gold. Wouldn't be green, would it?

Yes.

Fibrocylatoric oxidants?

You've got it already?

Yeah. Does it eat people too?

Everything in order, Dr. Russell?

Looking good.

Just a few more minutes.

Oh!

Don't panic, Dr. Russell. It's just a
standard biohazard safety procedure. The

shutters automatically react to any
toxic release.

Very impressive.

Shouldn't you get someone to deal with
the spillage?

Shutters won't rise until somebody does.

But since we have a trained biochemist
on the spot... Play along, Ed. We'll

cover you.

Quite.

Can you sublimate the carbon -rich
solution in that negative proton

Of course.

You have used a negative proton
accelerator.

Many times.

Ed, he's talking complete nonsense.
There's no such thing as a negative

accelerator.

Quickly, Dr. Russell.

Let's give a better idea.

How about a sponge?

Looks like your biochemistry isn't what
it should be, Dr.

Russell.

I'm getting nothing from Ed's
microphone, but his transmitter's still

Okay, retune the tracer to that
frequency, and then we can find him. I'm

on it, Roz.

How are you getting on with that microbe
analysis?

It's incredible. It does what we've
always thought impossible, forms a gold

compound.

It forms a compound with gold?

Seems to.

The reaction generates heat, and then,
when eventually the correct temperature

is reached, a gas is released, auric
tetroxide.

That's the vapour we saw.

The gold is lost forever.

It just melts away.

How do we fight a microbe, Ros?

If I had a pure sample of it, I might be
able to create a natural enemy for it,

something that would neutralise it.

I've got it.

Head signal.

He's still inside Biogro.

Come on, let's go.

Who is he?

Someone working for the Commission, I
guess.

They can't possibly know what we're
planning.

I wouldn't bet on that.

Really?

Let me take a stab at it.

You've got a microbe that eats gold.

You plan to use it to bring down the
Eastern European Monetary Commission by

damaging their computers.

This would have destroyed the currencies
they control. The Baltic Mark, which I

understand you guys have bought into in
a pretty big way, would then have become

the only stable currency in Eastern
Europe. You guys would have cleaned up.

Now, have I left anything out?

That's really rather impressive.

We aim to please.

Let me bring you up to date.

We're going to make a second attempt,
but this time we're not going after the

computers.

We're going to release the microbe
directly into the Commission's gold

You'll never gain access. That's maximum
security.

That's where you're wrong.

We've already gained access and have a
device in place.

What shall we do with him now?

Kill him, of course.

As he has just demonstrated, he knows
too much.

You're definitely in there. Don't lose
him.

Would you prefer to drive?

Always.

You need the practice.

Hitchhiker ahead.

Gone very quiet in the back.

What a surprise.

I've had men search the vault. They
didn't find anything suspicious.

Look, it's inconceivable that anything
could penetrate vault security.

Really? Park and Crystal are adamant
they've got a device in place.

You have to let us search the vault. We
know what we're looking for.

We have to take this threat seriously.

Okay. Have you found a way to neutralise
the microbe? Ross is working on that.

Vanguard 71999 -K.

All computerized. Don't worry. After the
incident this morning, I've made sure

that all the computer circuit boards
have been replaced with non -gold track.

Hello?

We'll just wait.

No. We buy up any further bolted clocks
we can.

Well, perceiving their value might
increase very rapidly in the next few

What about our friend? Is he there yet?

Hello?

Very close.

Scanning.

Written on scanner.

I need that.

I concur.

All systems in the vault are automated.

No temptation for any of the staff then?
They never seem.

The gold's perfectly okay.

So it seems.

I had no idea the Eastern Alliance
countries were so rich.

You'd be amazed how much gold bullion
you need to back up even the smallest

currencies.

Right, let's get started.

How are you going to find their device?

Use one of these.

Now. He's in the vault.

Hey, it's for Michael.

They must have booby -strapped your
recorder when they captured you.

Just sit up. They wanted me to escape.

Rob, we've got a scene of this.

Ready?

It's making fun. We've got to open the
door.

It's impossible.

Dimefield.

He's completely trapped.

Beckett, I'm on my way to Biogrow.

The only way to find something to kill
this microbe is to examine a pure sample

of it.

Ross, if you're going to start hunting
for an antigen, aren't you talking

of science?

Let's hope they've done some of the
groundwork already, then. Any luck with

overriding that time lock and opening
the vault door?

No, I'm in the vault control room now.
When the alarm went off, it switched all

systems to automatic.

I can't seem to access them.

Surely there's a backup?

Yeah, well, you're going to love this.
There is an override key.

but it's kept safely off -site by the
security consultants.

Oh, brilliant.

Amateurs. Look, Rosa, I've got to get
back to you, OK?

They're sending someone over with it
right away.

I don't think we can wait.

Rosa's tests show that the reaction is
reversible if caught soon enough. But

there is a critical point, after which
I'm afraid your gold is lost forever.

How much time do we have?

Well, Rosa's ring heated up to 120
degrees before the auric tetroxide was

formed. Auric what?

The gaseous gold compound.

We can use this heat detector.

It's part of our intruder alarm.

Anything over 35 degrees shows up as
red. Normal room temperature is blue.

Some of the gold is already showing as
green or yellow.

Yeah, well, the reaction's started and
heat's being produced.

It's not yet reached the critical stage.

Yes, but how much time have we got
before we lose the gold? Computer

around 27 minutes.

What about that patch of red?

That's it.

Thankfully, the hottest thing in the
vault by far.

The gold's heating up, guys.

It's starting.

That'll teach you.

Ed, is there anything you can do to stop
the microbes spreading?

Beckett, it's invisible. What do you
want me to do?

I mean, if only I could cool it down a
bit. Let me have a look what's in here.

The hell is that?

Oh, no!

What's wrong?

The threat analyser has profiled Ed as
an intruder.

That's the motion detection and
disabling unit.

Disabling? A euphemism. It activates
after someone has been in the ball

than ten minutes without authorisation.

Faster than half a centimetre per
second.

It stopped just in time. It fired at the
position it thought he would be in.

Yes. Can't we just switch it off?

It's on automatic, like all our intruder
systems.

I told you, they're absolutely tamper
-proof.

Even the doors to the main power room
are sealed to prevent any defences from

being switched off by an intruder.

If only we could switch the systems from
automatic back to manual. We'd regain

control, get access to the vault.

There must be some other way into the
main power room.

These pipes lead to the main power room,
but they can't help you.

Why not? What's in them? Exhaust gases
from our heating and ventilation

We're a long way from fresh air down
here.

But lower the pressure and open this
hatch.

I'm going through these pipes down to
the main power room.

I'm going to switch systems to manual
and deactivate the alarm system from

there. You'll never make it.

There's billions of pounds worth of gold
about to disappear down there.

Now what happens if they succeed, eh?
The economies of six countries wiped

150 million people reverting to a
subsistence economy.

Then I'll have to make it, won't I? Yep.

These exhaust gases are toxic. You won't
be able to breathe.

Yes.

Beckett, I've isolated an antigen. It'll
save the gold, but it needs

reconfiguring. Well, how quickly can you
get it here?

First, I have to make it insufficient
quantity.

The gold in that vault should be heating
up nicely by now.

And in a few hours, so should the Baltic
Mark.

Good night.

Why is power consumption in the main lab
so great?

Get away from that vat.

What's this you've cooked up?

An antigen for your gold -eating
microbe.

Something that will neutralize it in
seconds.

Shame we can't allow you to test that,
little high -profile.

Now,

if you'd kindly give me that container
of antigen.

Thank you.

What happened to your scientific
curiosity?

Got overtaken by an interest in getting
rings.

in here is no more than three meters.

You'll have to direct me.

All right. I'll use the system's
schematic.

Beckett.

Beckett!

Ros, Beckett's trying to get our systems
back to normal.

Can you patch me through to Ed?

Sure.

Ed. I'm on my way with enough antigen to
neutralize the microbe and save the

gold. I'll introduce it into the vault
through the fire control system, but I

can't do that until you're out of there.

Why is that?

Although the microbe itself isn't
harmful to humans, my antigen is.

I created it by reconfiguring the
microbe to digest carbon compounds on a

-limiting life cycle.

It'll attack the microbe, but it'll also
hit anything organic that gets in its

way. Which, in this case, is you.

Great. Let me get this straight. If you
can't get this door open, it's me or the

gold. Ed, it'll never come to that kind
of choice. Beckett must get you out of

that vault.

Okay, I'm at the top of the vertical.

Where next?

Turn to the right in 20 feet.

Now that next section will take you into
the main power room.

How's the gold bearing up?

The microbe is spreading.

Over half the gold is now affected, but
none of it shows as red yet. We still

haven't lost any.

How long have we got?

Computer projection now.

Ten minutes.

Well, that's the only access to the main
power room.

Well, how far from it am I? The access
hatch is about 30 feet away.

Well, I won't be able to fit if I take
off the compressed air.

How will you breathe?

Well, I won't. I'll hold my breath.

That's very good news.

The consultant's here with a vault key
code.

No need for you to risk the narrow pipe.

Beckett?

Beckett?

I have the answer to him. Where's the
access to your power control system?

Right here.

It's still in the vault?

Yes.

Then where's Beckett?

Ready when you are.

But if we release it now, we'll kill Ed.

But the gold could go critical almost
any minute.

Where the hell's that consultant?

He arrived just minutes after you did.

This way, please, sir.

Miss Vanguard is just in here.

Thank you very much.

the man we've been waiting for. Good
evening.

Ladies,

I see you've not yet released your
antigen into the vault.

I wonder why.

Oh, your friend, Dr. Russell, he's
trapped inside.

Bah!

In a few moments, all that gold will be
gone, and I will be very...

Very rich.

And all of Eastern Europe's economy is
utterly devastated.

Ros, you must.

What a nice dilemma for you.

Move away from that control.

Come here I want you to witness this

All systems automatic.

Manual override example.

Gotcha. All systems manual.

Whoa.

Don't let me down, Beckett.

A simple thank you would have been fine.

Thanks, guys. You shouldn't have.

Well, actually, we didn't.

I told Miss Vanguard that your old ring
was like this treasured heirloom been in

the family for over 200 years.

Well, it was the least she could do.

After we saved all her gold.

Hmm, I suppose.

Funny she couldn't run to a whole bar or
two.

Imagine what you could do with that kind
of wealth.

Yeah, I'd go for their big yacht.

House on the beach in the topics,
private plane.

Me? I'd buy art.

You're kidding.

Ed, since when have you been interested
in paintings?

Paintings? We said anything about
paintings.

Classic motorcycles are an art form,
aren't they?

Brilliant.

The experts suggested investing in
Baltic Marks, but the expected collapse

the other currencies never happened. You
were right.

Not me, Governor.

You know what impresses me most, Jean
Daniel?

It's not just the work you do for the
prison, it's your generosity of spirit.

Oh, sir.

I'm talking about the forgiveness you're
prepared to show to those three people

who put you here.

You even bet on their success.

Those three.

Yes.

Admirable.

I'm supporting a move to have your
sentence cut in half.

Remind me, how long do we have you for?

140 years.

One thing I've learned in here,
Governor, is always look to the future

What exactly happens when that column on
your computer reaches its target?

Oh, I guarantee, when the red line
reaches the top, well, your job will

get a lot more interesting.
