All language subtitles for Le jour des Triffides part 2

It had been 30 years since my mother was
killed by a triffid.

She was trying to understand them.

I've been doing the same ever since.

Hello, I'm Jo Platon, coming to you from
the heart of London.

Do triffids always go for the eye?

Dr. Koch, it's me, Bill Mason. What's
happening?

This is an emergency broadcast from the
BBC.

Most of the people in the world have
been struck blind.

There is no government.

These people have every right to live.
Over there, man.

I'm Torrance.

Yeah, there's a bit of panic about
triffids.

Triffids are carnivorous plants that can
move. Their most abundant source of food

is ice.

I've got to get to my father's place in
Shunning if we're going to work out how

to deal with them.

We've got to get to Shunning, with or
without me.

Mason, you're under arrest.

Being taken up to the heat. It's all
Torrance. It's ruined the whole show

now. It was vicious.

He's dead, Charles.

Where do you think

you're going, boys?

I ain't gonna tell you again.

Where you going with your hands, Bison?

Show me your hand!

Show me!

They'll wake up.

The engine's had it.

The weather's getting worse. We're going
to have to walk.

Try to find some shelter.

At least the snow won't slow them down.

It's the survival of any weather.

This is Radio Britain calling to you
live from London.

Calling all citizens, men, women, and
children. If you are sighted, help the

blind.

Come to London.

Here you'll find safety, food, and
shelter.

Gathering points have been set up around
the M25.

Make your way there, and you'll be safe.

I'm Jo Clayton, and you're not alone.

Get some help.

Where

is

he? Leave me to him.

Here, he's been shot in the shoulder.

Thank you, Father Thomas.

I'll clean the wound and close it, then
you'll need some serious rest.

You were lucky your friend brought you
here.

I was lucky I found you.

I don't believe in luck.

Mother Superior.

You were meant to come here.

Meant to be cured.

Body and soul.

I hope you will stay.

Here, we're all equal.

When you're better, you'll see clearly.

London will seem like another world.

Who's in charge in London? We don't get
any news.

There's no London now, Father Thomas.

It's only us.

If I was going to make a discerning, I
had to stop. Regain my strength.

But I knew the Triffids would never
rest.

They would continue to hunt us down,
find populated places, march towards

London, towards Jewel. Are we winning?
Yes.

So my messages are getting through.
Absolutely. More people every day. Let

me explain all this. The blue areas,
right, we control. The red areas, we

defend. Green is Triffids.

That's an awful lot of greens.

Well, still the safest place in the
country.

The important thing is that we survive.

I mean, you're still here. I'm still
here.

Yeah, I wish Bill was.

He could have helped us. Yeah, well,
Bill's dead, all right?

And you say that Major Coker's too busy
running the country.

I mean, what's his plan? The broadcasts
were his idea, after all. Well, to be

honest, Major Coker's struggling.

I mean, it's people like you and me that
are keeping things going.

I mean, you. You don't blame me. You're
bringing them in. That's what they say.

I heard Jo on the radio. I heard her
voice. That's why I came.

Have dinner with me.

Dinner? Yeah, just... Just the two of
us.

As if everything was just normal? It's
the way you survive.

By insisting that everything is normal.

By refusing to give in. Sheer force of
will.

That's why these people follow me,
because they know I'll never give in.

Following you? Just because the whole
world's going crazy doesn't mean you

can't have a little bit of fun.

Well, you know what? That is really
sweet of you.

Maybe next time.

Okay?

have they been there?

At least as long as we have.

I don't understand.

Why aren't they hunting?

Food must be getting scarce and there's
so much of it in the Abbey.

Yeah, I asked her about that and she
said... She?

In Durant, she's the Mother Superior.

She's in charge here.

I want to see her.

Go with peace in your heart, dear Father
Thomas.

It's always sad when first-class people
have to go.

But he wanted to spread the word.

Father Thomas will find more survivors.
He'll begin a new community, a build on

what we've done here.

Why, he's a brave man.

Oh, you're looking much better, Dr.
Mason.

Yes, I'm much stronger, thank you. Major
Coker tells me you're a Triffid expert.

Why, yes.

The Triffids are there in the country.

Were they always so passive?

First, they were quite troublesome.

I lost many friends.

But then God intervened.

Really?

How did God do that?

He answered our prayers.

When the peaceful nature of our
community became clear, the Triffids

returned to the wood and killed no more.

You know, I've been amongst Triffids all
my life, and...

I've never known them to behave like
that.

We strive to live in harmony with
nature.

We intend no harm.

If in content with that.

I was in your cellar.

You know you have a generator down
there.

I could get it going for you, get you
proper lighting, heating. No, I don't

think so.

It would make things easier.

Come.

Look, look, look, look.

Look at that tower.

Men built that tower long before there
was electricity or power tools.

It wasn't easy, but it stands.

I don't want things to be easy.

I want them to be right.

What are you doing?

Leaving. I've got my father's.

I need some help.

The Triffids.

But they're quiet here.

You heard what she said. She may be a
little eccentric, but she's figured out

a way to coexist with them. What's that?
By being peaceful.

We've both seen what the Triffids can
do.

Look, Corker. They've got over 50
beehives out there.

All it takes is warm and weather.

Then the Triffids will be pollinated.
And then they'll spoil. And then we'll

have hundreds and thousands of new
plants.

Duran and the rest of the world won't
stand a chance. If we don't find a way

to defeat the tributes, then human race
will become extinct.

Well, I've marked the safe path through
the woods, and God willing, it's only a

mile. If you'll get there safe, find a
vehicle.

Thank you.

They're building a wall to keep the
Triffids out.

Torrance's idea.

But they all fight for Major Cocom.
Torrance gives the orders.

Torrance seems to have an awful lot on
his plate at the moment.

I mean, why isn't Osmond helping?

You haven't seen that little creep in a
while?

He got what he deserved.

We found bits of him up on the heath
after the Triffid attack.

Never nothing for the other two.

Nothing?

Coco was all right.

Didn't know the other bloke, though. So
they really found nothing of the other

two? Just what Torrance has got in that
red box. Some bust-up old MP3 player.

Oh, Troy.

Is Bill Nathan alive?

Is he?

I don't know.

Torrance thinks he might be.

Thank you.

Time for your broadcast, mate.

Okay.

Join me.

in giving thanks and praise to Peggy,
who has been chosen,

like Father Thomas and the others,

to go out and build new communities.

Dr. Mason, please, welcome, be seated.

I know all about your new communities.

I found Father Thomas's body in the
woods.

Tied.

Sacrificed.

Dr. Mason, do you know anything about
beekeeping?

The beehive is a symbol.

Of the perfect, harmonious society.

Each bee has its appropriate place, its
own task.

And when the task is done, the bee is
replaced, quickly and efficiently.

The hive acts as one, always for the
good of the hive.

Not for the good of the queen.

Father Thomas was old. He could do
nothing more for our little community.

We cannot accommodate everyone who finds
their way to our door. We have to

prioritize. We have to make room.

By feeding the surplus to the Triffids.

The Triffids are also God's creatures.

I did what God wanted me to do. What he
told me to do.

Outside these walls is chaos.

Here, everything is customary.

Ceremonial. As long as you do exactly as
she says.

As long as you abandon the weak and the
helpless.

Believe me, every one of you here will
die before she does.

I control the triplets.

Without me, you'll all be overrun.

No one has the right to choose who lives
and who dies.

Let him go.

Let him go.

These people trusted you and you
betrayed them. If you defy me, you will

be damned.

Three, two, one.

Hello again, whoever you are, wherever
you are.

I hope you can hear me.

You can always stay.

Work with us as an equal.

You think it's going to be easy without
me?

I don't think they want it to be easy.

They want it to be right.

The Triffids know me.

This community will not survive.

I was thinking today about missed
opportunities.

Did you ever know the right thing to do?

And then you hesitate.

And then it was too late.

And he longed for that chance again.

Except yearning won't make it happen.

Keep you company.

So you know Joe is safe and well.

Sometimes you have to act.

Sometimes you have to make that chance
happen again.

This is Joe Clayton.

Right here, Britton.

Me?

You take care.

Come back soon, yeah?

Yeah.

I heard your latest broadcast.

Who were you talking to?

My father.

But he's dead, isn't he?

Not to me, he isn't.

For a minute there, I thought you were
talking to me.

I was thinking about my dad and how I
missed the opportunity to be with him.

How I don't want to make the same
mistake with you.

What are you trying to tell me, Jo?

That I've changed my mind.

I want to have dinner with you.

You're just saying that because you're
scared.

I am scared, but... I know that you'll
protect me.

Better than anyone.

Better than Major Coker.

He's supposed to be running the country,
but as far as I can see, you...

You're doing it all for him. And I have
been ever since he died.

Just for the tech.

Why didn't you tell me?

I just didn't want to give you any more
bad news.

You see, I've been protecting you longer
than you know.

So you're the one that's in charge now.

It's a new world, Joan.

You know?

We can be anything we want. We can do
anything we want. Look at us.

To dinner?

Yes.

When?

Tonight, after my broadcast.

I forced myself on.

The pollination of the Triffids was
inevitable.

Once they spored, any hope of defeating
them would be lost. Time was my greatest

enemy.

Calling all citizens.

Sighted and blind, man, woman and child,
this is the voice of Britain.

Come to London and lay your burdens
down.

Here there is safety, food, and shelter.

Here there is control.

Here there is government, law, and
order.

Yes, it might be delivered by the gun or
the boot, but you won't get into trouble

as long as you're prepared to fight, as
long as you're prepared to die.

Because that's what you're going to have
to do. Be prepared to fight and die so

that this so-called government can live
in luxury and pretend that it's not

losing the war.

Joe, what are you doing? You're getting
us in trouble. The Triffids are here

too. If you've survived this far, don't
come to the centre.

Don't listen to me. The voice of Britain
is alive.

I am Joe Platon, but I am not the voice
of Britain. The voice of Britain is you,

wherever you are.

What? What is going on?

I told you, she might stop talking. If
you've survived this far, don't come to

the center.

Don't listen to me.

I told you to watch her.

I saw her start.

She was here.

She's not here now.

And check behind all the seats.

You up here with me?

Any sign of him?

Just tripping.

There's no way I'm going out there.

She doesn't stand a chance.

Come on.

Let's go take the west to the mar.

Come on, boys.

What?

Don't shoot!

What do you want?

Don't come any closer.

I'm not going to hurt you.

But they will.

Who?

Triffids. They'll know you're here.

Yeah, I know Triffids.

I was stung.

Everyone who gets stung dies.

Not everyone.

Come on, Susan.

He's okay.

My name's Imogen.

She's my sister, Susan.

Where are your parents? We don't want to
talk about it.

I'm going to this house that I know,
which I hope will be safe.

Listen, I need a car.

Do you have any idea where I can get
one?

If we help you, you help us.

Yeah.

I can't see the name.

Shining.

Well, I think it's in a very secluded
spot.

It's probably not even marked.

Probably.

I haven't actually been there myself.

Who lives there, then?

My father.

in the car.

Stay in the car.

Alice.

Hello, son.

There.

Shining.

So, you're here because of the triffids?

Aye.

And no doubt you want my research, or
you can try and stop them.

Come back from there!

Be very, very...

Careful.

Is he really your father?

Yeah. He's scary.

I heard that.

woman and child, this is the voice of
Britain.

Come to London and lay your burdens
down.

Here there is safety, food, and shelter.

Nothing personal, Joe.

But you do go on.

Two children, Belle.

My, you are a dark horse.

Sorry, this is Susan and Imogen.

I met them on the way here. They agreed
to keep me company.

And to look after him.

Thank you for bringing him home.

I was...

I thought that you were... Come along,
girls.

It is so good.

It doesn't belong to you.

How did you get this?

From Torrance.

How did those girls find us?

Maybe they were too small.

And Triffids had easier prey.

I promised to look after them.

Just them.

Cool.

I like to ramble on the road that never
ends.

Me and Mother Nature are the best of
friends.

Folks think that I'm lazy.

I'm just dreaming.

Dreaming.

Just dreaming.

What do you want?

It's not good news, sir.

The latest drift at the port's from the
front.

Go away.

So.

So this is what you do with your
retirement.

Be busy.

When you devote your life to studying
Triffids, they tend to take over.

But it does have its compensations.

Here is how we stop the Triffids.

an entirely new Triffid. One which would
generate pollen that sterilizes rather

than fertilizes.

We extract pollen from the male
specimen, modify it, fertilize the young

female Triffid with it.

She produces spores with the infertile
strain.

Simple. Elgin. But with the same genetic
fix that got us in this mess in the

first place. There are always unintended
consequences, Bill, to everything we do.

Sooner or later, someone's going to deal
with them and make sense of what

happened.

You remind me of your mother.

She was the genuine article, the real
thing, a brilliant scientist interested

only in knowledge for its own sake.

Me, my motivation was a wee bit more
practical.

Oh, I've had the same picture with me
for as long as I can remember.

When that picture was taken, the future
looked very bright.

For all three of us.

The world, even.

Yeah.

I mean, look at it.

Mother Nature's finally taken her
revenge and reclaiming the planet. No

one intended this, Bill. And now, given
the consequences and the price that we

both paid, do you think it was worth it?

Do you?

I can understand why you feel so angry.
Angry?

I was a wee boy. My mama just died. My
dad, my dad.

He just didn't think to notice me. Too
busy saving the world.

No, no, no, you're right.

I never made time for you.

I didn't know how.

Oh, you're so young.

I did try, but... They're your mum.

These Triffids.

I'd run to start sporing any day now.

How far have you got with your plans?

I've got everything I need.

Except a male.

I've been hunting for one in and out of
the old Triffid facility, but as of yet,

no luck.

I'll get you a male Triffid.

Good shooting.

Reload. I need the practice.

You don't need your mask.

Yes, I do. And you should too.

Mum and Dad don't.

They're not Mum and Dad.

They're Joe and Bill.

Well, they're Mum and Dad to me.

So that's his plan and you're going
along with it? We have to try something

before it's too late.

Great. We've spent our lives trying to
avoid the Triffids and then we end up

back in a place that's going to grow
them.

Did you consider me and the girls? We're
agreeing to go out and sacrifice

yourself. Well, if you've got a better
idea, I'd like to hear it.

I suppose Dennis could do it. Last time
you and I were looking for a male

Triffid, he came back with you.

The clutch sticks a bit.

Don't go over 50.

And I would like it back exactly as it
is.

I didn't agree with my father's plan.

But I wasn't doing it for him.

I was doing it for Joe and the girls.

And for the rest of the world.

Oh, that smells terrible.

She needs to build her strength up if
she's going to save mankind.

Susan!

What are you doing here?

I need help.

Don't worry. I can take care of myself.

Yeah.

I've noticed.

You okay?

You're in a lot of trouble with mum
again

You did

well

How did you do it?

Yes.

It's got different sounds from the fire
morning.

I have a theory that different sounds
provoke different emotions.

And the proof?

I try to identify the obvious emotions
like fear and hunger, but it's so

complex and I've barely scratched the
surface.

Your mother was of the same opinion.

Our biggest fear was that we'd exploit
the Triffids without understanding them.

I couldn't persuade her to leave Zaire.

It was more than just oil for her.

She recognized some indications of
sensibility.

They could communicate with each other.
She was convinced that if we didn't

understand them thoroughly, we might
live to regret it.

She wouldn't let go. She just kept
pushing and pushing.

In the end, she got too close.

I must have a tear.

Wanted to give you Peace I never had the

Opportunity Or the words

From Zaire

Your mother's recordings Of Triffids

Once we've fertilized the female, maybe
we can work on them together.

Maybe together we could crack it.

It's happening.

The Triffids are sporing.

You knew this was going to happen.

Not like this.

Nothing like this.

Got that from one of the farms.

Good boy, Troy.

That'll be all.

What's that say? There's people on the
Isle of Wight.

There's more than 200 of them.

And they want people to join them.
They've got families, doctors, schools.

Well, there's life, there's hope. At
least we have somewhere safe to go once

we release a new breed of triffids.

Oh, talking of which, feeding time.

I'll be up in a minute.

This is good.

This is good.

Come on.

Patience, little one.

Patience.

This is Dr. Ruth Mason.

It's the 16th of September, 11 a.m.

We're one mile outside base camp by the
Kazai River Basin.

This is Triffid Recording number 0050.

No. Oh, I'm sorry. No, no!

Your mother was right. Your mother, she
was right.

No. I was so sorry.

Don't talk.

Corings from a clifford in Africa.

Wasn't genetically modified.

So that could be the reason that one
your dad grew reacted to the sound.

Perhaps he thought it was under attack.
I don't know.

Can you start again?

Not time.

There's never enough time.

we can stay here a little longer if you
want to there's nothing here for us now

we'll leave for the isle of wight first
thing in the morning

Hello? Hello again.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, I
hope you can hear me.

I was thinking today about missed
opportunities.

Did you ever think it was the right
thing to do?

Something's wrong here. Come on.

Maybe out of fear.

Do you long for that chance again?

Except yearning won't make it. Imogen,
where's Susan?

Sure.

Nothing's wrong.

Hello, Joseph. Good child.

As you can see, I've come with friends.

Where's Susan?

Where is she?

Susan.

Um, all tied up.

She wouldn't cooperate.

I want you to take her, put her with her
sister, and watch her.

Well,

good to see you too, Joe.

It was too much for you, were they,
Torrance?

Huh?

We had terrible trouble with the
Trevors.

They started using the underground
tunnels as sewers.

Not very sporting.

But now, now you're going to help us,
Bill.

Good job you didn't die, huh?

So what do we do, eh? How do we stop the
triffids?

I don't know.

Well, that is very disappointing.

Because I was relying on you. I said to
Troy that. I said, Troy, you know who we

need now to help us with the triffids?
It's Dr.

Bill Mason.

You'd better put your thinking cap on.
It's too late.

They've already spawned.

We either fight them or we give up.

Or we could go to the Isle of Wight.

I found a message from Major Coker.

Why would you want to go to the Isle of
Wight?

You hate the Chippeds.

Do I, Joe?

Yes, you do, because they made you.

I mean, without them, you're nothing.
You're nothing but a jumped-up little...

You don't touch her! You don't touch
her!

Okay, finger off the trigger.

Stay of execution.

You've got until tomorrow morning to
come up with something!

Something to get us all safely out of
here and down to the coast.

You do that, that'll be great. If you
fail, I take Joe, kill you, and give the

girls to the Triffids. Is it a plan?

Okay.

Yeah, excellent. Okay.

Lock them up!

CCTV and controls for the electric gates
if the Triffids attack.

Maybe had this place Triffid-proof, huh?

Bring Mason to me.

The solution to the Triffids is in my
mother's recordings. It has to be.

If we can use the sands to communicate
with them

somehow, then maybe...

We can control them. We've only got
until tomorrow morning.

Can the noise of those men not bring the
triffids?

Yeah, well, we have to escape.

We've done it before, and we will do it
again.

Torrance is not going to make the same
mistake twice.

Joe, we have a much better chance
against the triffids than we do against

Torrance.

be the answer.

How? We use my tripper's recordings.

We draw them in en masse as a
distraction so we can get out.

Well, it's a brilliant idea, but how are
we going to get out surrounded by

hundreds of trippets? Kill us all.

It'll be all right. It'll cause
confusion and maybe, maybe it'll give us

a chance to escape.

Mr. Torrance wants to see you.

Okay I

was

up there in the laboratory

Looks like you had a bit of a problem.

Dad don't make it?

Is this your mommy?

She's foxy.

Well, how's your plan getting on?

You'll let me know when you come up with
a solution.

You go to a dorm.

Otherwise, I'll reunite you with mommy
and daddy.

Where's the device?

I did it.

I put it outside.

Truffids!

Truffids!

They're everywhere!

Hold

on.

Bill, what have you gone and done?

Kite, shoot Mason.

No.

Shoot the girls.

Go, now.

And be ready to put the electric fence
on full power. My command.

Everyone.

I've got orders to shoot the girls.

Troy, this isn't you.

Stop it.

There's no way the Torrens can get past
the Triffids.

We're leaving.

Come with us.

Are you done? Yeah, I'm done.

All

right.

You'll be okay.

Sir.

Okay. Just wait here. I've got to get
something.

Stand by on 11-5.

On my mark. Three.

Two.

One.

Now.

Switching them on now, sir.

Switch it on now.

Switch on the electric fan. No!

It's not working.

Hold the light!

Troy,

you get on this radio and... Nice job.

Next time, pull back to the house.

Look after this for me, Will.

Okay?

Come on.

Come on, quick, come on.

Here's the trait.

Anyone remember this?

Look.

Young love, very sweet.

You're leaving without me.

That's not very nice.

We're making a run for it, Torres.

I mean, look, they're everywhere.

I know.

They're gonna kill us all.

Except you. I'm gonna kill you. Why
don't you come with us?

Huh?

What, me?

Well, I'm just a...

Jumped up nobody.

Torrance, come on.

If anyone can get us through an army of
triffids, Torrance, it's you. Oh, nice

try, Joe. Come on! Come on!

We're never gonna make it. There are too
many of them.

We have to try.

Oh, well, they're already in the
courtyard.

Okay, does everyone have goggles? Does
everyone have goggles?

Everyone, Joe, take these. No, you take
them. Take them, Joe.

What about you, Bill?

Where are they?

Where are they? Where are they?

The mask.

Hang on. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, let me think.

It's the mask. The mask.

The mask.

Where are they?

And see.

And see.

And see. What's going on?

Okay, it was Imogen. She helped me to
remember.

It was the night that my mother died. I
remember. I know how we can get through

this.

Trust me.

Do you trust me? You have to trust me.
What are you talking about?

You must wear this.

This is Triffid Poynter. No!

It will save us! No! You can't. You'll
kill her. It will save her. It will save

us all. Please, trust me.

You have to trust me.

Please.

Please. Okay, okay.

It's all right, sweetheart.

They are coming.

They're tripping.

It's all right, darling.

It's all right. Stay still. Stay still.
Stay still.

Ow!

It's okay. It's okay, Nadine. Nadine,
it's okay. Ow!

Trust me.

Stay still. Stay still.

Trust, trust, trust.

We must all do this.

Pain will pass.

We are coming.

Trust me.

Everybody walk slow and steady.

Hey, sir.

Hey,

sir.

Here we go.

So we left for our new home, where we
found other families, other friends.

The sea was our wall against the
Triffids. We cleaned the isle of them,

and our community started to grow again.

Future generations will ask how it
happened.

How did the world get swallowed up so
quickly?

It was because we had our eyes closed,
even when we could see.

Now the news is over on BBC One now and
here on BBC HD.

Victoria Wood is having a midlife
Christmas.
