a nice present for our investors.
In fact, you might invest yourself.
Give you an added incentive.
Thanks, I'll stick to poker,
it's safer.
Hello, Mrs. Steyner.
Hello.
Teresa, you should congratulate
Mr. Slater on his promotion.
Oh, yes. Congratulations.
Thank you. If you'll excuse me,
I'll be getting back.
Kowalski.
You and Tex are the best
two rock breakers I've got.
That's why I want you
on this drive.
- Where's the catch?
- You sure are a suspicious bastard.
Now, this is top secret.
We're going right, slap, bang
through the middle of the dyke
at the 8 level.
Say that again.
- You're crazy.
- For once I agree with you.
We've a report that shows
there's no water, only gold.
Oh, a report, well...
What if that report is wrong?
We'll take precautions.
If it's wrong you'll be warned.
If we hit water...
I've thought of that. We'll fill
the walls behind you with explosives.
If anything goes wrong
we'll blast
Now, I want a gang day
and a gang nights.
There's a 50% bonus
and a ten day deadline.
Let's flip for it.
Heads.
- I take days.
- I just hope that report is right.
Don't worry.
When you blast through
I'll be there, next to you.
That's a promise.
You better wear your wetsuit.
What do you want?
He's putting in a safety charge.
It'll block the drive
when they hit water.
Can you cut the wires
at the right time?
Itll cost you.
You'll get it.
And get that bastard Slater
out of the way.
How's it going, Tex?
Fine.
Give me some tape.
I'm using half inch yellow cables,
so there's no mistaking circuit D.
Good thinking.
Kowalski can carry on in the morning.
Slater is far more intelligent
than we thought.
We'll keep him out of the way
so he can't put his safety device
into effect.
The problem is how.
He could be... enticed.
Enticed?
Good morning, Rod.
Morning.
Ready for the blast.
Okay, let her go.
Right, lock her in.
She's ready to blow.
Okay, hit it.
- We did five blasts today.
- Well, mother, pin a rose on me!
You did four last night.
What's the matter? Chicken?
That's it.
I'm real chicken sh*t.
Why complain? We leave more
for you, you make more money.
- You don't like money?
- What I like, I get for free.
Let's get this stuff
out of here.
Tex.
Good.
Don't push it deep, Tex.
The last lot were tickling it.
I've got that bonus
spent already.
Keep it clean, King.
to have an early Christmas.
Please send him his present
ahead of time.
See to it that he delivers
efficiently and on time.
He's nothing if not efficient.
Yes, but I plan
for all contingencies.
We could trust you to take care of
Steyner, couldn't we?
- Trust me?
- Half a millions dollars worth.
- Where?
- Switzerland.
I'm nothing if not trustworthy.
First thing in the morning.
Goodnight.
How's it going?
You'll get your Christmas present.
I want you to stop
when you reach the dyke.
Don't go through
without my specific instructions.
Why?
The timing is important in view
of the stock market reactions.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Rod, I can't make it tonight.
Pops is coming over.
Okay.
But I'll be alone over Christmas.
Manfred's going to London.
Good.
Goodbye.
By the way,
I'll be gone over Christmas.
I'll give you the word
as soon as I get back.
Look what we've got here.
Hello.
We've hit it.
Sure?
It's big, shiny,
green and hard as hell.
Ugly piece of rock.
Clear up and pull out.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you, Tex.
Hello.
Hi, it's me.
Who's speaking?
Is Manfred there?
Yes. Good evening, Mr. Slater.
He's right here.
It's for you.
Hello.
Very good.
I'll be back after Christmas
and then we'll blast through.
Well done.
Merry Christmas.
What was that about?
It's a present
from our friend, Mr. Slater.
Yes?
Hello, Marais.
We're there.
You can send those cables now.
Calling Doctor Steyner
travelling to London
to the first class counter please.
Good morning.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you.
Here, I'll take that.
I'm sorry, but I'll make up for it
on New Years eve.
Have a good trip.
Your ticket.
Your boarding card.
Thank you.
Goodbye, dear.
Bye.
40.
I don't think I can wait.
Patience is a virtue.
35.
They're 15 seconds early.
They must be on our side.
Hello, Mrs. Steyner.
Hello, sir.
Your bags and flight plan
are onboard.
Hank, I'm on my own.
Okay, happy landings.
Okay.
Where to?
It's a magical mystery tour.
For once, someone else is in charge.
Okay, captain.
Park Hotel, Pretoria.
Miss Terry.
It's been too long.
Where have you been?
I've been busy.
New York.
What the hell for?
Joseph, this is Rod Slater.
Joseph Cruper.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Will you get the bags?
He's stone deaf.
Both his eardrums were blown out
by a fire in the 30's.
Good idea.
I bet he could do with a drink.
Bye, Joseph.
Who does it belong to?
Who does it belong to?
Me.
Pops.
As far as the eye can see?
Right to the edges of the sky.
Pops' private slaughter house.
No, we don't do any killing
except for culling.
I'm glad to hear that.
Watch it, Mr. Slater.
I suggest you watch
the road, Mrs. Steyner.
It's beautiful.
I have a reservation,
Levinson, P. Levinson.
Sign, please.
Key to 810, please.
I bet you forgot the corkscrew.
I bet you I didn't.
It's right here.
Oh, my God.
18 carat.
There's everything here,
isn't there?
Born with a golden corkscrew
in my mouth.
You resent that, don't you?
No, not really.
Maybe I resent the man
who got you.
I married a girl who had nothing
except a lousy temper.
Now she gets a third
of my salary.
Funny old thing, marriage.
I thought we weren't going
to discuss it for six days.
We're not and we'll drink
to that.
Happy Christmas.
Happy Christmas.
Here, Jimmy.
Come on, Jimmy.
- Who likes cake?
- Me!
There's plenty for everybody.
thick where we've hit it.
Six blasts should do it, right?
six blasts in one night.
- Take that ridiculous hat off.
- I like it.
- How many then?
- Two night shifts.
- What about a day shift?
- With me you've got to be joking.
Yes, I thought as much.
But you'll take care
of the safety fuse.
Here's your fee
and a Merry Christmas.
- What about Slater?
- No bother.
Go and get Santa and I'll tell him
how to get down the chimney.
Here we go.
Shoot, Jimmy.
Three things worry me.
And what are they?
One, your legs are too long
for this bath.
Look where you put
your toes, Mr. Slater.
I beg your pardon.
What else worries you?
The second thing that worries me
is that I'm not worried.
Let's drink to that.
A toast.
Bless this ship
and all who sail in her.
To her captain, may he keep
a firm hand on the rudder.
May her bottom
never hit the reef.
May she be torpedoed frequently.
And what's the third worry?
