There is a conversation taken from

Blue Lights (2023 TV series)

What would wise up mean here. The context is that the speaker who says "wise up" is out in the heavy rain but nevertheless it is she who is saying "wise up" (rather than the other lady sitting in the car during the conversation.)

What are you doing?

887
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,360
I'm going home.
Angela, get in the car!

888
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:53,240
Wise up.

889
00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:55,360
Oh, come on. Look, it's lashing.

890
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,280
Just get in!

1- Is this a question about pronunciation?
2- Are you doing a translation of a commercial series?
3- Are those numbers in the eight-hundreds episode numbers?
4- You only quoted "wise up" in one of them. How about the rest?

Note that I have moved your question to the pronunciation section, at least for now.

1- Is this a question about pronunciation?
It is a question on the meaning? I hear what she says and it is exactly "wise up"
2- Are you doing a translation of a commercial series?
No. There are English natural subtitles.

3- Are those numbers in the eight-hundreds episode numbers?
I just copied a part of the subtitles' data. It is the way the subtitles (srt) are structured in the file. I suspect that 888 is the form of realisation of the minimum interval

4- You only quoted "wise up" in one of them. How about the rest?

Please clarify what do you mean? For the ease of your reference - it is the first episode of the TV series. Please find attached the srt/txt file in its entirety.

She does not say "wise up". She says "what is up?" In other words, she's asking for the reason why she should get in the car.
In future, please provide a link to the video/audio in the very first post.

It is a question on about the meaning.
That isn't a question so should end with a full stop.
I hear exactly what she says and it is exactly "wise up".
Note my changes above.
No. There are English natural subtitles.
What does the underlined part mean?
I suspect that 888 is the form of realisation of the minimum interval.
What does the underlined part mean? You really have to get into the habit of using full stops at the end of sentences.
