- OK.

In fact, here in Oltenia people hid

money in the walls of houses.

In the east wall,

facing the rising sun.

- How do you know?

- I worked a lot in this region.

I dug up hundreds of landmines

around Caracal.

- German?

- Some of them.

Theyd make a hole in the wall,

hide the coins and seal it up?

No, when building a house, theyd put

a few coins in the east wall for luck.

But were not after change.

Were looking for treasure. Got it?

Lets scan, then see where to dig.

Were paying him anyway.

OK, scan it, but we wont

find anything elsewhere.

You cant be sure.

Lets save this.

- Did your great-grandparents stay here?

- Yes.

- What does your brother do?

- Hes a lawyer.

Is there soil under the floor?

Yes, I think so.

What will this room be?

A bathroom and kitchen.

Can you move this ladder, please?

- Will he use plasterboard?

- Yes, to make a false ceiling.

Its 3.6 meters high.

Really hard to heat in winter.

Theres metal here.

And here.

Perhaps theres a cable,

or a drain?

Probably from the bar. This was

a bar after the revolution.

Its definitely a drainage pipe.

Strange you can't see it?

If they'd taken up a board,

you'd notice, right?

I dont know. Not my field.

What should we do?

Should I save this one?

No point.

Its a drainage pipe.

Lets scan here too.

Are they crows?

- What else could they be?

- There's a nest?

Yeah, in the attic.

There's a hole in the roof.

How will you get them out?

Ill do it when

we repair the roof.

- Thats what you think.

- If I repair the roof...

You wont be able to go in.

Theyll eat you alive.

- Dont exaggerate.

- Im not exaggerating.

Want to bet that you

wont be able to go in?

I'm in no mood for betting.

Ill find a solution.

Yes. Shoot them.

- Just mind your own business.

- Dont worry, I will.

- You really need to shoot them?

- Theres no other way.

You need a shotgun,

and a cartridge with 100 rounds.

Get them together, you can kill

30 or 40 with one cartridge.

- There are that many?

- In there?

At least 100 pairs,

if you ask me.

- Really?

- Im telling you!

You can also get them

when theyre flying.

If you get them in a flock,

you can get 4 or 5 at a time.

Its like shooting ducks.

- Ever hunted ducks?

- No.

You can get 2 or 3

with one cartridge.

Of course, it depends

how far off they are.

If its a long way,

the shot's less effective.

Thats why I said its best

to catch them inside.

I had a maple over there,

and theyve cut it down.

- Where?

- Back there.

Your garden goes

back beyond the trees?

Yes.

- So how did they carry it?

- They didnt. Its still there.

But I have no idea how they got in.

The gate is closed.

Can you move back?

- Ill come for chainsaw later.

- What for?

I cut down that tree,

and I need to chop it up.

The loony's here

with someone from Bucharest.

Theyve got a machine that beeps.

Theyre after his grandfathers treasure.

Hes crazy.

He wont stay long.

- Can I take it tomorrow?

- Not tomorrow.

- The day after?

- Sure.

- Anything?

- No, its clean.

Lets dig where you said,

before dark.

Here

From here...

to here.

Under the sensor.

Hi.

Weve started digging.

Not yet, but were

on the right track.

The detector found something,

and weve started digging.

What are you up to?

Hows Alin?

Let me speak to him.

No, not yet, son.

I cant talk for long,

can you put Mommy on?

You told him Im looking

for treasure?

Come on, Raluca,

what the hell!

And what if I dont find any?

Couldnt you tell him that Im on

a business trip, or fishing? Jesus!

OK, well talk when I get home.

Fine.

Move over!

Its there.

- How deep did you say it goes?

- 2 meters.

So if we dont find anything

at 2 meters, theres nothing.

I don't know. Wed have

to try then and see.

Or bring the other one.

So, if we dig for 2 meters,

and dont find anything?

- We try the detector again?

- Yes.

And if it shows 3 digits,

youll make us dig more?

- Im not making you do anything.

- Dont avoid the question.

Im not avoiding anything.

If the detector shows something,

Ill tell you, and you can

do what you like.

I think...

If theres nothing there,

your detector is to blame.

Its a first class detector.

Come on, lets dig to 2 meters

and see.

See what? If theres nothing at 2 meters,

theres nothing there.

If we dig down 2 meters

and find nothing,

there wont be anything

at 50 meters either.

- Are we digging, or what?

- But doesnt it make sense?

It makes sense. But we can also

try with the other one.

Its there.

But you need to take more

from the sides.

Anyway, your grandfather

dug the hole in one night.

How deep could he dig

in one night?

2 meters at most.

Like Cornel says.

- Want to bet?

- Bet what?

You find something deeper

than 2 meters, we go 50-50?

Im not in a betting mood.

Then stop having a go at me.

- Why so many bricks?

- I dont know.

- There was a brickworks here.

- You said it was a steelworks?

It was a brickworks

and a steelworks.

- A lot went on in this garden.

- And now theres nothing.

But it's OK.

If we don't find anything here,

you can sell this iron and

make a bit of money.

If we dont find anything, its only

fair that you dont get paid either.

- Why shouldnt I get paid?

- You made us dig for nothing.

I worked all my life. I didnt go

running after treasure.

- A real Communist slogan!

- What do you mean?

The Communists used to say:

We work, we dont think.

- They didnt quite say that.

- No? You've already forgotten?

I haven't forgotten. But I was

referring to something else.

You let the cat out of the bag.

Forget it.

Now youre pissing me off.

Watch your language, dont forget

youre in my garden!

There. Its there.

Stop scanning every bit of wire.

Youre making my head ache.

- I wanted to see if its iron.

- You still don't know?

Fine. Ill stop scanning.

Youll need a ladder here.

Ill get the one

from your brothers.

Get the light, too. Its pitch black,

I cant see a thing.

- Want a hand?

- No.

It's there!

How deep do you think it is?

- How tall are you?

- 1.91 meters.

- So about 1.80...

- Maybe more, maybe less.

- Theres no more iron here.

- Perfect.

- That means were on the right track.

- Or not.

You can be really negative!

Do you look for bombs

with that piece of crap?

Yes. Why?

- Just thinking.

- Thinking what?

Why do you care what

Im thinking?

You work, you dont think.

Now youre really pushing it.

Don't talk to me like were in

the army, youre pissing me off.

Costi! Costi!

Im leaving.

Go then.

Shut your mouth,

you didn't hire me.

Did you hear? Im leaving.

- Wait, let me dig a bit more.

- Let him go! We can dig without him.

- So why didnt you dig?

- Just because.

Get the other one,

and see what it says.

You cant put the other one

in the hole. It needs a flat surface.

Just admit

you dont know how to use it!

To use the other one

you need a flat surface.

This one tells me exactly whats here.

And it shows 3 digits!
