Oh! Oh!

- Oh, sir!

- You stupid oaf!

I ought to have you flogged!

I'll get a towel, sir.

You'll take your shirt off

and take it off right now!

No, he will do

no such thing!

How dare you talk to that man

as if he were your slave!

Miss Chestnut,

I'd appreciate it if you'd allow me

to control my servants as I see fit!

No!

Young man, young man,

what is your name?

- What is your name, young man?

- Walter!

- Walter.

- Walter Hill.

Walter Hill.

Yes, and I'm Harry.

I'm Harry Dighby.

Harry Dighby. Hill and Dighby.

Well, Dighby and Hill.

The billing doesn't matter.

- Mr. Hill. Walter.

- Walter.

When you Wait.

Here is a copy

of our newspaper.

Now, when you and your friend

are released from this penitentiary,

I want you to come to New York City,

because we at the Advocate

will help you to find

a new direction to your lives!

Now, Mr. Worth,

if you would care to show me

the remainder of your highly erot...

your highly exotic lodgings,

I would be deeply appreciative,

as I have a train to catch.

Well? Well?

Calmly, calmly,

Miss Chestnut.

Yes.

Calmly, calmly.

This way, please.

- This way.

- Clean it up.

You stupid.

You're stupid!

This, as you can see,

is the bathroom.

What?

Get the camera.

Get the camera.

Get the camera.

- Harry, what

- Bring it over here.

Why?

Hurry. Set it up, set it up.

Oh, silver!

What, you want to take a picture?

What are you gonna take

a picture of, Harry?

Of that.

Are you crazy?

- He'll kill us!

- He will if we don't hurry!

Load this flash thing.

Put a lot of that stuff in there.

- I want a clear picture.

- You're gonna get us...

Why do you always argue

with me when I try to be smart?

- He's gonna flog me.

- Put a lot of it in there!

Hey, what is this thing?

That's to measure with.

Come on, Harry.

Wait! Okay, perfect.

Give me this.

It's so lovely.

On the count of three,

shoot this picture. Ready?

- Harry, let's not!

- It's the chance of a lifetime.

Shoot when I tell a you.

One, two, three, shoot.

Oh!

It's on fire!

Get the champagne bottle!

Open it up and aim! Hurry up.

- Harry.

- Get the champagne.

Now what are they up to?

- Spray the champagne!

- I can't get it open, Harry.

Oh, you're so slow!

God, are we in trouble!

Put it out!

- That's it. More champagne!

- Are we in trouble?

Oh, my God.

He took a picture!

He don't know how to take a picture!

You see, sir, he was taking

a picture of me and he came too close.

He can take

a very good picture, sir.

Get away from there!

Look!

Get outta here!

- We'd better go.

- Get outta here, you!

Not you two!

You two, get out!

- It was an accident!

- Quiet!

I will not be responsible for my actions

if you don't get outta here!

Warden!

Mr. Durgom, get in here!

Is something wrong,

Mr. Worth?

I need a favor, Mr. Durgom.

I want these two clods assigned

to the nitro detail as soon as possible.

You mean permanently, sir?

No, Mr. Durgom.

Not permanently!

Just until they die!

Go!

Come on, Harry.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, Harry.

Take cover!

Take cover!

Hey! hey, uh, excuse me?

Excuse me!

Over there. Hey!

Will you hold the fire, please?

There's a man hanging in the air here.

Take it up.

Get it

That's good.

Stop this!

Come on, Harry!

Harry. Harry. We got more.

Let me show ya!

- Come on!

- Back to work. Back to work.

Dangerous work, huh?

Follow me!

Go ahead, Harry.

Take a look.

Take a look.

Frozen nitro.

All right, Harry.

Here's what you do, see.

You take this

and grab that frozen lump.

You put it right down there, and you

cut a great big chunk off, like that.

Then you take the chunk, see,

and you put it in this.

And then you put that

on the stove so it melts.

Then you grab this.

I'll show ya. Watch.

Watch this. You got it in there,

and then you go...

And you pour that

right in there, real easy.

It's easy.

Then you just take that...

and there it is.

Okay?

Good luck, Harry.

You're gonna need it!

Cut off a chunk.

Pick it up.

It's gonna blow!

Oh, it's gonna blow!

You've got good reflexes, Harry.

Let's see how good you do tomorrow.

Harry, what happened?

I heard the explosion.

Watch it!

- They hurt you, Harry?

- No. We're gettin' out of here.

I got nitro.

- Harry, you're insane.

- Yeah.

I wasn't sure before,

but now I'm positive. Help!

Shh! Ow!

You bit me!

Yeah. That's not all I'm gonna do, Harry!

Just leave me alone!

Don't you realize that if they

kill me in that nitro shack,

tomorrow it's your turn?

Maybe not. I wrote a letter

of apology to Adam Worth.

You think that's gonna

change his mind?

Well, it's worth trying,

isn't it?

No.

Look. Did we, or did we not

get a picture of those plans?

Yes, we did.

Burnt to a crisp.

Well, maybe not.

I've been thinking about that.

Uh-oh.

Look. You work in that

photography shop.

Now, that, uh...

that thingamajig on the camera.

Yeah. That works pretty quick,

doesn't it? Huh?

Well, maybe we got the

picture before it was burnt.

And if we did... if we did,

and that picture is in the camera,

and we can get ahold of the camera,

then we can be sitting

in New York...

Sitting in New York,

eating, uh, sweet caviar.

Drinking champagne

out of goblets. Goblets.

Guard! There's a crazy man

in this cell!

Shut up! Shut up!

Harry, you are insane.

You don't know the first thing

about safe-cracking, Harry.

What's to that?

There's nothing to it.

We can learn it in a minute.

Look, what is the difference

between us and Adam Worth?

A few breaks! Those plans

are worth a million bucks.

Oh, great. We can buy a couple

of expensive suits to get buried in.

This is it, Walter.

It's the big time.

No. The big time is Broadway, for me.

I'm not a thief!

We're gonna get blown to pieces!

We'll discuss your career

some other time.

Okay. Okay, okay.

So we get out of here, then what?

We don't know anybody.

We don't have clothes.

We don't even have train fare.

We know Lissa Chestnut.

That's true.

Yeah, so, you let me worry

about the clothes.

You let me worry about

the train fare. Huh?

What do you say, Walter?

- I'll think about it.

- Oh, come on. Please, Walter.

"Please, Walter."

- Maybe.

- Okay.

- Maybe.

- Okay.

Watch my pants!

I got nitro, you idiot!

Guard! A man is dying

in Cell Block Three!

- He's sick!

- Quiet up there!

Guard, please!

He's dying.

You okay?

- Please, hurry, guards!

- Harry, you're a louse.

What's wrong?

The man suddenly took ill.

Suddenly ill.

I don't know. Ow.

What's the matter with you?

I can't breathe.

We'll need these.

I only said "maybe,"

Harry.

Maybe's good enough for me.

Come on.

Hold it.

Hold it right there.

This is nitro.

I just This is nitro!

Let's get outta here,

Harry.

Captain! Captain!

They got some nitro.

Nitro!

Careful, Harry.

Don't fall with the nitro, Harry.

Let's go!

Take that back.

Let's go!

Let go of it. Come on.

Let's go!

- Don't jiggle it.

- I'm not jiggling it! I gotta run!

Who's jiggling it?
