All language subtitles for Shakespeare and Hathaway PI S05E06 As I Have Seen a Swan

Thank you.

Gotcha. Peeping Tom! Peeping Tom!

You complete and utter... Burn, you
turd!

Look at this. Another busy night for the
Swan.

Thank you.

What's this?

It's the Stratford Star.

Stratford's mysterious Kate Crusader was
out again last night, proving he's swan

in a million, tackling foul play of all
kinds. That's very good.

Frank, I think you met him.

Lucky you.

Last night, the Swan prevented five
phone thefts, stopped three graffiti

taggers... And screwed up a job we
really needed.

I hope that feather brain realises what
he's cost us.

It was one mistake, Frank, and sometimes
you can look a little bit... A little

bit what?

What happened to that tracker you put in
the parcel? How's that doing?

It's not connecting.

Is that because it was a cheap piece of
kit?

We're being frugal.

Did you turn it on, Frank?

It's frugal.

That's what I said.

Have you updated the client?

Yes, I have.

He said... Where is it?

We are, quote, no better than the
useless police, end quote.

And then he sacked us with immediate
effect.

On the bright side, we saved him the
embarrassment of wearing that watch he

out for.

One of a kind, thank goodness.

Interesting. One local resident, Thea
Williams, 24, barrister at Willow

Warbler Coffee.

Barista at Willow Warbler Coffee.

is so keen to meet this one that she's
offering a significant reward for anyone

who can unmask him.

How significant?

Thanks for meeting with us. No, thank
you. If anyone can unmask him, PI's can,

right? Well, we'll try.

For the reward.

Oh, of course. You're professionals.

Well, I am.

So am I.

So, tell us about your experience then.
Apparently, according to the local

newspaper, you've met him. Yeah.

I was walking home one day down by the
river and then some kids cycled past and

grabbed my phone.

I screamed for help and then suddenly
this one appeared.

Any distinguishing features?

The long neck?

Feathers? He had his mask on. I did see
him smile though.

That's when I knew.

Knew what?

Every superhero needs a love interest.

Yeah.

Tell us, do you know anyone else who's
been helped by him?

There's Vernon at our LCS, a local comic
shop. Comic timing.

I love it there. It's such a nerdy,
happy place.

What are you talking about?

You're a liar.

I have reliable sources saying you know
him.

Like Clark Kent knows Superman. April,
that's ridiculous.

Oh, you like the sad old butler guy
then?

Or the doobie gadget man?

Ugh, it's all so tragic.

I thank you not to come into my shop and
insult the magnificent universes that

we love, yet again.

Yeah, yeah, insulted, etc.

Can we hurry up? I've got a deadline.

Oh, sorry.

It's a lovely scarf.

It wouldn't suit you.

I've got customers.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Look, love... Don't passionise me. I'm
not one of your damsels in distress.

Look, you can tell this swan that he,
like you, can run, but he can't hide.

Ah, hello.

You looking for a story?

I can give you a call.

Hey, Berm. What's up, my man? You're the
man.

New editions?

Yeah. You're going to open them right
now, aren't you?

Zack! Snoozing.

Mate, wake up!

We've got new additions!

My son.

Rather more somnolent these days. Even
my art student standards.

Like some Frank Miller.

Is there anything I can help you with,
or are you just perusing, as Beetleboot

said to Captain Diatom?

Did he?

I'm Frank Shakespeare, this is Lou
Hathaway.

No, I'm Frank Hathaway. I'm Frank
Hathaway. Lou Shakespeare.

And we're private investigators. Yeah,
and our current client is really keen

us to identify the swan. They thought
you might be able to help with that.

Doesn't everyone?

I can't, I'm afraid.

He helped tackle some thieves that were
stealing my bag once, that's it. Where

was that?

The river path.

And Zach saw him stop some kids from
graffiting our shutters. Haven't so much

spoken to him, I'm afraid.

Yes! I knew Barbell Boy would get it.
Wham! Pow!

Hey.

Any joy with Vern?

Well, there's a rumour going round.

It's him.

No way.

I mean, he's a nice guy, but I don't
think hero, you know?

Oh,

hello.

Oh, we meet again.

Did we meet before?

April Affair. I'm a freelance journalist
and investigative.

Oh. I need a coffee.

Service.

Oh.

Hello. What would you like?

Oh. Well, I think you know.

The usual, then.

Coming up.

So, um, you're looking for the Swan 2.

2? Oh, perfect.

I love competition.

Which paper?

Oh, no, we're not journalists.

We are private investigators.

Investigating for a client.

Intriguing. Well, seeing as they were
chasing the same price, how about we

leads?

Can I have your card?

Oh.

Yes.

Oh, I've got one.

There you go. Here's mine.

I dare say I'd appreciate professional
help.

Professional help? The cheek.

We'll work this out ourselves, thank you
very much.

Yeah, too right.

So did you notice Vernon's son in the
shop?

Zach? Yeah.

Yeah, he had all the hero moves, and
Vernon said he's always tired, which he

would be if you were out catching
criminals at night, wouldn't you? Or if

work in a second job.

I've seen him in the Mookie Mallard
collecting glasses.

He's new.

Rubbish. Hmm, OK.

Well, what about Van Man? He was mad
about heroes, and he was, you know,

muscly. Oh, was he?

Didn't notice. I'm just saying, you
know, he... Oh!

Hello, April.

Progress? Well, you know, us pros don't
waste time.

I found out who the swan is.

How? Who?

Who is it?

Oh,

Frank!

It's the swan!

Frank, are you getting this?

Yeah. Terrible line. Anyway, look, my
source is coming to tell all about the

swan. My office, 6pm.

Do join us.

You're welcome.

You'll be there then.

What? Where? Sorry?

My office.

6pm.

She wants a cut of the reward, we're not
going. Well, if April finds him first,

we'll get nothing.

Her meeting is not till six.

We've got a few hours to find him
ourselves.

And you've got that photo of him. You
saw this one?

Yeah.

Well, I didn't really get a chance to
zoom in. I think I can see it. Is that a

pigeon?

Four doors won't help us anyway. If he's
in disguise, we need to get closer.

Yes, we need to lure him out. Yes, and I
have an idea.

Oh. That's in my hair.

Oh. Ah, I'm in it.

Go on for me.

Hooray!

For

Diplodocus, surely.

Looks like the Turing Shroud.

Or a llama.

Oh.

Come on, Frank.

It's been three hours.

We're not going anywhere yet.

All right.

If you had a superpower, what would it
be?

I don't know. That's the big question.

See, flying, strong possibility.

Very good.

Got it.

Necromancy. What?

With dead people?

Yeah. And talking to them. Talking to
dead people.

Oh, right.

Yes.

A bit morbid, but I suppose you'd solve
the murders faster.

Well, you could get the answer off the
corpse, you know.

What about you?

Me? I've already got one.

Yeah?

I'm a mind reader.

What? I am.

Come on, then. Go on.

You're wondering if I'm going to offer
you the last one of these.

Sure. Wrong.

Do you want the last one of these? Yeah,
please.

You're also thinking it's never a great
idea to cut off your nose to spite your

face. Especially when there's money to
lose. Money you need.

So where does he hide from?

He's got the address.

You've got it, mate.

Oh, yeah.

There we go.

Stupid temporary traffic lights. I'll
tell you what you should have done. All

town, hang a left. That's one way.

All right. Down Bridge Street to the
roundabout. Well, I'll tell you what.

time, why don't you drive? Oh, no, you
can't. You're banned.

Call an ambulance.

Hello? Ambulance, please.

And police.

This way, ma 'am.

And a white cape.

Yeah, but it could have been anyone.

Yeah. Tons of men running around
Stratford in feathers and tights.

Right, put a call out. All cars.

Anyone sees a swan, arrest him.

Meddling idiot's gone too far this time.

Well, actually, that idiot has done some
really good things.

So I'm just saying, why would he want to
murder someone?

Protect his identity.

Obviously, Miss Lefevre was on to him,
and I will be too.

He thinks the police are so inept.

I'll show him how ept we really are.

Him and his black -and -white buddy.
Black -and -white what?

His what?

Ah, you haven't heard about him? The
magpie.

He's this one's sidekick.

No, no, we heard.

It was the lesser mustachioed great hit.

You really are quite the twitcher,
aren't you, Frank?

Leave the proper bird hunting to the big
boys, yeah?

What now?

Do we still want to try and unmask this
one?

We need to talk to Thea.

Yeah, cheers.

Well? The reward still stands.

Might still be able to pay the bills
this month. Did you tell her he's now a

murderer? A suspected murderer.

The swan's a superhero, he's not a
villain.

Uh, come on.

We saw someone in a white cape running
away.

So? What about the magpie?

Well, there's someone called the magpie
now.

Oh, like that tag on the bus stop.

Who is the magpie?

For all we know, it could be a figment
of Keeler's imagination.

We definitely know there's a swan.

Because the swan is who April's trying
to unmask. As are we. Should we be

for danger money?

No.

I don't know why you think he would
murder to stay anonymous. Why does he

want to stay anonymous? Everybody loves
him.

So maybe he had another beef with April?

True. Either way, we find the murderer,
we find the swan.

But who didn't like April?

Maybe she'd written something about
someone.

Yeah.

Maybe she'd upset somebody.

What about that row she was having in
the comic shop?

Yeah, she really leered into Vernon,
didn't she?

Maybe we should check where he was that
afternoon.

Do you mean super -speedy runner Vernon
McMorris, who won the Arden Marathon

dressed as Batman?

That poor woman.

Horrible. You've heard them.

Yeah, we drove past her office this
morning. Yes.

We were wondering where you were
yesterday afternoon.

Good Lord, you can't think that I'd want
to hurt April.

Well, you were having that big argument
yesterday.

That was simply frustration on her part,
cos I couldn't help.

Really? It did seem like it was a little
bit... something a bit bigger, maybe.

She and I had, like, a long -standing
spat.

April thought that superhero stories
were full of pathetic girls waiting to

rescued, and I told her, I said, you
know, there's plenty of powerful female

characters, but it wasn't an argument
I'd have murdered her for.

Can you think of anyone that might have
had issues with her?

Well, most of the people she wrote
about.

And she did mention me rather
favourably, though, when I won the

lovely. Congratulations.

Yeah, well, I don't really like to talk
about it because it can come across like

a boasting when you've got a personal
best and you raise £10 ,000 for a kid's

charity.

So you like to run, you like to help
people, and you like to dress in skin

-tight lycra. But you're definitely not
the swan.

No, no.

I'm always here.

I couldn't just swan off every time
there was a crime.

Pun intended.

And in answer to your question,
yesterday afternoon, I was here.

Working.

Customers.

Sorry, just one sec.

There's a lot of red bills around the
place.

Doesn't prove anything.

He was right about April's job, though.

She must have met a lot of enemies.

Yes.

We ought to have a look in her office.

Do you think the police have finished in
there yet?

Maybe she was moving house.

Three pound signs.

Someone's got a big budget.

And a secret admirer. Look at this,
right?

April, you're a top bird.

Let's start again.

Marty.

Ooh, you old romantic, Marty.

Oh, you've got something on you.

Yeah. No, you have, just on there.

And get off hers, you day devil.

What are you doing?

There's a bit of oil on there.

There's a bit on me.

Not my mum.

Is it off?

Well, I'm not your mum.

So, there's 34 Martys in the Stratford
area and 750 Martins.

Wow, that knows it down.

I wonder if anyone called Marty works
for the newspaper.

My fam.

Well, we might not have found the swan,
but at least Sebastian's discovered the

fountain of youth.

All in a morning's worth, as was a
little impromptu surveillance.

I overheard some youths outside the
chippy talking about the bike -riding

Oh, do they know them? Mm -hm, and the
word on the street is they're planning a

flurry of phone thefts tonight, and
they'll meet up and share spoils at a

called The Pipes.

And the swan might turn up. That's what
I'm thinking.

Also, they mentioned the magpie.

Oh, right, so that is actually a thing.

Mm -hmm, but he's not a sidekick. He's
some kind of supervillain, and he's

responsible for our client losing all
those doorstep parcels.

So we're going to catch the magpie and
the swan.

One bird, two stones, huh?

Thanks. Hi, Zach.

Oh, Zach, do you know of a place called
The Pipes?

Do you mean the skateboard ramps? Spent
half my childhood there.

Ah, thank you.

Right, we've got to make sure we're
ready if the swan turns up.

Which is why I took the liberty of
buying this. It's a tracker.

Wasn't the cheapest, but you get what
you pay for.

You do. It's coming out of your wages.

Frank, see the one monochrome one? I bet
that's the magpie.

Wait, wait, look.

That's it, yeah.

Oh.

God, Sebastian.

Oh, that's like watching one of those
wildlife documentaries.

Good work, Seb.

What about you?

Well, this can't be right.

So where is he then?

And where are we?

We're right next to our warmest,
comfiest nest.

And I know who the swan is.

Are you okay?

We can take the mask off now.

How did you find me?

You'll tell everybody it's me now, won't
you?

You should never have started this
stupid, stupid thing.

Hey, on the bright side, that is a
spectacular costume.

Where did you get it?

ZeroToHero .com.

Well, you look great.

I don't do this for fun.

I got mugged a few months ago on my way
home from college.

Those kids, they chucked all my
sketchbooks in the river.

And the police did nothing.

And then it happened to other people in
the exact same spot. I mean, somebody

had to do something.

How do you know where the trouble's
going to be?

I patrol.

I hear stuff at the pub.

And the other day, on your phone.

You heard April saying that she knew
your true identity.

I went to her office. She was already
dead.

But I... I knew what it would look like,
so... When I heard you come in, I ran.

You do need to go to the police.

They're looking for you. But I didn't
kill her. I swear, on Dad's life, I

just... I wanted to know if she was
really on to me.

You just need to tell them that.

And then they can eliminate you from the
inquiries.

It'll give them a chance to find the
truth.

Comic timing, Zach.

I want to see him.

He's in the police station.

What?

Yes, and a little uniformed birdie tells
me now in his cell, Keeler's arrested

him for the murder.

Zach wouldn't murder anyone.

And after all he's done for this town,
you need to find out who actually did

Look, Thea... No, look, I can pay you.

Not just the reward.

I'll hire you.

My dad's loaded and he'll always support
a good cause.

Sorry.

Um, just out of interest, what is that?

Oh, it's a fanfic.

I write fanfiction.

Mm -hmm.

About this one.

Let's try and help Zach, shall we?

Last time we were in here, it seemed
like you already knew April.

Is that right?

Sort of. Just a regular customer.

Did you ever say anything about her
boyfriends?

Someone called Marty?

Marty? No.

You sure?

Because we found this in her office.

That's not Marty.

It's Morty.

Morty? Not Marty?

Who's Morty?

Mortimer. He's a delivery driver.

He has a company called Knock and
Deliver. All of the shops around here

We need to speak to him.

I don't know exactly how we can find
him.

I've got one more.

You're so strong.

Hey, I saw you guys at P .I.'s.

Yeah. Never realised you'd need so
many... Disguises, yeah. No, we do a lot

undercover work. I've actually got quite
a bit on at the moment. Oh, not with

these.

I'll grab the last one. I told you to
order three pairs.

Yeah, I probably added an extra zero or
two by accident. Sorry, I was in a rush.

That's the last one.

Can I trouble you for...

It's all right.

Do you want my landline or my mobile?

Oh, no, a signature.

For the parcels?

Yeah, obviously.

Yeah, obviously.

There's my mobile signature. Yeah.
There. Can I trouble you to ask you a

questions?

Did you ever have a relationship with
April LaFert?

What is this?

Nothing. We just want to know the truth.

I know what happened. I'm sure you feel
the same.

OK, right.

Six months ago, we went out for like a
month.

And then she just called it quits.

I wanted her back. I sent her gifts and
everything.

Yeah, but when you bumped into her in
the comic shop, she didn't even want to

talk to you.

And I might have tried harder if I'd
known.

That was the last time you were going to
see her.

Must have made you angry, you know, when
she rejected you.

Not angry enough to murder her, if
that's what you mean.

Look...

Tuesdays at six, I'm at the church youth
group.

I'm a volunteer leader.

You can ask the kids, they'll never miss
a week.

That's my warehouse, call them.

I've got deliveries.

Good luck, yeah?

Yeah, sorry.

Sorry.

Oh.

Captivating.

Five stars.

You promised not to take the mic. But
I'm not.

Obviously, this wouldn't be my usual
thing, but it's quite the feather

You should show Zach.

Do you think?

Mm -hmm.

I'm just a waitress, and he's like this
super kind, super hot actual hero.

Oh, and he might be super flattered.

It's Vernon.

Zach's out.

I have to find out what happened.

My son.

The swan. He could have knocked me down
with a feather.

Zach.

Did they charge you?

Insufficient evidence, I fear.

Did they say what evidence they do have?

It was one of the muggers that did it,
I'm sure. Zach said they'd been going

crazy. I heard people at the station
saying that the bike gang have set

up.

Does the whole town hate me?

What? Why?

I got arrested just before everybody
needed me.

And I couldn't help poor April.

Nobody hates you. As you'll see at our
special event.

Meet the Swan. Dad, no.

The police have said no more hero stuff.

But it'd be great for your self -esteem.
And business.

All right, then.

Two for you.

And one for Swan Boy. Me?

From a fan, surely?

Open it.

Stratford's my town now. From the
magpie.

Oh, wait, no, stop!

We're missing something.

Or someone.

Another story she was writing.

What about that post -it note that was
on her computer? What did that say?

Was it Towton Properties?

Are you looking it up?

Mm -hm.

No, it's a company all the way up north.
Why would a journalist from here be

digging up dirt on them?

It's flour, the magpie's a thief and a
practical joker.

Oh, no.

There's another Towton Property in
Stratford -upon -Avon.

And it's owned by Thea's dad.

So maybe those pound signs weren't about
her moving budget, but about their

company finances.

So April was investigating Thea's family
business.

Looks like it.

Mate, this is incredible.

I can just picture it in panels.

Yeah? Totally. I was thinking a big
splash page where the swan fights the

magpie. Totally.

Like... I can get them.

So clumsy. It's fine. I'm the idiot.

No.

You've never been.

You're... Sorry.

Sorry to interrupt. I just... Could we
have a quick word, Thea?

I should suit up.

Dad's paranoid somebody's going to pinch
his pike tonight.

There's probably some welcome gods.

Pebbles of colour.

What's up?

Well, um, we were wondering if you knew
that April was investigating your dad.

Oh, yeah. So what?

Does that make me a suspect?

I never would have murdered her over
that.

Although I was annoyed she'd got my
number.

Well, she rang you. What for?

My dad's company made this big corporate
donation to Vernon's fundraising when

he won that marathon. But the charity
told April that they never got the

She wanted me to ask my dad if he'd
actually paid it.

As if he was some sort of swindler.

Ladies and gentlemen.

It's time.

Come on.

Thank you for coming, everyone, to meet
a true local hero.

We're very proud of him and everything
he's done.

Please welcome Zach, a .k .a. The Swan.

That purple stuff.

Picronite? Yeah, Zach said his dad had
some.

It's a film prop from the actual 80s
movie.

They only made three of them, and one of
them's here.

I know, right?

Vern hardly ever puts it out on display
because it's worth, like, thousands.

But Zach made him get it out today.

Where is it?

Why are you geeking out over picronite?

Next to everyone's body, there are
little bits of purple crystal.

What murder weapon?

Over here.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Wow. Hey, Vern.

You've got two budding Wednesday
warriors here.

Show them the crystal.

Oh, I'm sure they're not interested.

No, we really are.

Okay. Well, it's stunning.

It's quite the customer magnet. Do you
mind if we... Well, I'd rather not...

Show them. Come on.

So Thea says you can almost feel the
force coming off it.

Who broke it?

I'm just a clumsy cleaner, that's all.

So if the police were to check this
crystal for traces of April's blood,

they find any?

Of course not.

Thea's right, though. I should probably
take better care of it.

April was on to you, wasn't she?

You kept all the marathon money you
raised.

You received the donations, but you just
didn't pass them on to the charity.

Yeah, the shop was struggling, you
needed the cash, and April had found out

were a thief.

I'm not.

I always intended to send that money.

Yeah, but not how April would have
written it, though, is it?

When the police search that laptop,
they're going to find an article about

She just wouldn't listen.

So what happened?

She rang after she'd been here.

And she was demanding I tell her who the
swan was, but I had no idea.

But she said if I didn't give her a
name, then she'd publish that horrible

story.

So I went to see her.

With the crystal?

I didn't have any money to bribe her.

What even is that?

I don't want your pathetic geek toys.

It's worth 20 grand.

I've even got the certificate of
authentication.

Yeah, as much as I'd love to hear more,
I've got a story to deliver.

If it can't be the swan's goop, it'll
have to be this juicy tale.

Local hero.

In charity.

Theft. Shame. And our CCN.

Arden.

Constabulary.

What about all those other thefts?

Did April know you were the magpie?

What? No, I'm... Oh, come on.

You needed the money. I get it. The shop
was a perfect front for you to launder

the proceeds.

And you knew all the kids.

They were in here all the time.

What? So I'm the only person that talks
to teens in Stratford? I'm... No.

I mean, look, you've got to understand,
right? I never, ever meant to hurt her.

Hurt who?

You.

Son. I did it to protect this place. Our
shop. I'm sorry.

Keep dusting the collectibles.

I'll see you soon.

Come on, then, Mr Magpie.

I've told you, that's not me.

Funny how some murderers really don't
like being called thieves.

Sure.

Do you think we should stay with Zach?

Hopefully he'll be all right for now.

And Marty's got the youth club kids
sorted.

He's great with them, isn't he? They
love him.

They certainly do.

Yes.

Isn't that the watch that our client
got, Nick? By the magpie, yeah.

Just act casual, guys. This is an ice
cooler.

Oh, he's gone.

So is Marty. Oh, thank you.

What's happening?

Marty's the magpie.

What? Go on. They need you.

Sorry, chicks. Gotta fly.

Isn't it my scooter?

We've lost him.

Hang on.

Is your tracker still on the back of it?

Great idea, Zach.

To the loomobile!

It's a car, not a mobile toilet.

He's definitely in here.

Shall we split up?

I'll go to the office.

Zach. You go that way. No, that way.

Go that way. Yes, sir.

Ah, don't tell me.

We're locked in.

So what do we do now?

Zach. Where's Zach?

Zach! Zach!

Zach!

Zach! We're locked in!

Zach!

I thought we were friends, Morty.

How could you?

Friends? You haven't got any friends,
Zach.

You're scared?

Well, like when my boys took your
sketchbooks.

They said you were too chicken to even
fight bats.

Well done!

Let us out!

Thank you.

Great news.

The police have found all the parcels
our clients had nicked.

So they're our client again, are they?
Yes, since they agreed to pay up every

penny for the job.

We have visitors.

Oh, hi, Thea. Hello, Zach.

How are you doing?

Not exactly super, but I'm OK.

And have you visited your dad?

He just keeps saying he's sorry.

I believe him.
