upstream through solid concrete

to the water in Lake Mead.

We're going to walk downstream

through the thickness of the dam,

350 feet to the Nevada wing

of the power plant.

Watch your step, please.

Follow me.

How long ago did the last tour come out?

About 5 minutes ago. They should be

coming out the other end now.

Let us use your binoculars.

You are now standing in the

Nevada wing of the power plant.

Ahead are seven hydroelectric generators

each one with a turbine capacity

115,000 horse power.

Don't worry, we'll get out of here as

soon as we get over to the Arizona side.

Now, right this way, please.

Follow me.

Where we're now standing, folks, it's 560 feet

up to the top of the dam,

The elevator shaft we came down

is to the left

of the large awning you see

at the top of the duct.

Can I borrow your glasses a minute?

-Sure.

Thanks.

Maybe you're right.

We better lose this crowd.

There he is, come on.

What do we do now?

If we can climb the Arizona elevators

ahead of that crowd, we've got a chance.

Come on. This way.

I can't go any further, Mal,

I just can't.

You've got to.

Come on.

Gail, listen to me.

You wait back there for me.

I'll shake them off and come back

for you.

Yes.

Take her up to my car.

We'll keep after him.

He must have taken

the Nevada inspection stairway.

We can take the elevator

and catch him at the top.

Granger, hold it!

Oh, Mal.

Give me two to win

on Honeycomb in the fifth.

Only an innocent two dollar bet,

you say?

It's just as innocent as the germs

in an epidemic.

Spreading the worst kind of disease.

The civic disease of criminals

with an $8 billion racket.

Corrupting politicians,

buying protection,

fostering crime,

all with your two dollars.
