There will be no fault in the system.

It will be yours when we are inside.

Exactly!

That's the loophole.

- Okay we are in.

- Any more questions?

-Why 3 drills?

- 3 different functions.

This is for the wall of the sewer. This is for

the floor of the vault for placing explosives.

and this one for opening

the deposit boxes.

Okay that's this slop.

What are they for?

It's not a fire alarm.

It's a gas detector.

- Gas?

- Yeah! It stinks where we are going.

I want to know when it's dangerous?

It turns red.

You better check each one. It's important.

- Okay Mike. Good-bye.

- Who was it?

- Daniels!

- Is this is the weekend he wants you to go away?

- Yeah! I am afraid so.

- Well at last.

Will be so disappointed. He would really

wanted you to watch him play.

Yeah, I know I am disappointed too.

- Well would you phone him afterwards?

He would like that.

- I will try.

Where is your?

Mike took a long way to choose him.

Anyway not it worries me.

- It's the bloody rats that I don't fancy.

- Frankly I would more worry about the graft.

So it's for you, twist.

- Whets the time?

- 11.30

It's a nice looking watch.

I hope its waterproof.

Sentimental too. First wife gave me that.

- What was the third one gave you?

- Trouble!

Coming up lads!

Bang in line.

For Gods sake man..

Why the hell did you pull over?

Okay that's it. Everything is down.

- You Okay?

- Yeah! Sure. The boot got stuck.

- Be careful

- Yeah!

You are not going to be here much longer...

Are you son?

This way..

- How much longer to the main tunnel?

- We are still under the main road.

The junction overhead is on the detour.

- How is it going Granddad?

- Ready and waiting. - Good boy.

- This is it!

Watch your steps.

- Brooker. I shall need to check that map.

- All right.

This is the junction where we are

right now.

Follow the tunnel all the way to the weary

Take the narrow tunnel on the right.

It will look just like that one.

- The third one in the right.

- That's it.

- Don't forget your lamps.

-Whets it like down there?

- Lousy.. Lets have that rope.

Everybody try to get a move on.

- I can get that other staff now.

- Why don't we give you a hand?

Needs more there. Go again.

- Rover to base. Testing, testing.

- Base to Rover. Receiving you.

He doesn't look too good.

- Who? - Taylor!

Claustrophobic?

- For Christ's sake. Get out of the way.

- Not my foot mate.

Go and check the lamps on the rear,

Will ya?

- Any movement?

- No. Quiet as the grave.

- It's been lonely actually.

- What a shame.

We are through to the earth.

Base to Rover.. Base to Rover.

- Rover, come in please.

- Rover to Base. Over.

- Where the bloody heaven you have been?

- I have been having a pee.

- Don't do it again will you?

- I will try not to.

- The banks still open.

- Looks like closing time.

Only about 10 more feet to go.

Don't worry.

We have got all weekend.

Gas. Gas! Put your masks on. Quick.

Quickly. Quick.

- What happened?

- He didn't get his mask on time.

He is in bad shape Mike.

We got to get him to a doctor.

All right lets call it quits

and get him out of here.

Let me take him up Mike.

- We go on.

- Oh no.

We go on.

Harry! Harry! Do we go on?

Clean him up. Come on.

All right I will stay with him.

Okay I have got it.

Message understood.

- How is he?

- The same.

Daniels said to get the drill ready.

- Do it

- Okay! I heard you.

Tell him there is a message from Rover.

The securities made their first check.

And the weather forecast is bright.

with a possibility of occasional shower.

- Why do we want to know that for?

- For Christ's sake.

Okay Base. Understood. Any problems?

- Nah! No trouble.

- You all right?

- The drills ready.

- Mike about the tunnel.

- You don't have to go in.

- It's just that you know...

- Yeah!

- I could probably manage the vault though.

- Sure.

- Go on Sara, its time to get to bed.

- It's not fair.

Oh, please Mom, just half an hour more

For me. I am older than her.

Well all right. Bring your book down.

I will come up in a minute.

Hold it tight against the outside wall Mike.

That's it.

All right that's it.

We can start up now.

Clear the tunnel now will ya?

- Everything all right?

- Yep.

We blast next time.

We have been very lucky

to have you on this, Stephen!

We could have somebody involved, who would

just put his chalk, mark up and walked away.

In a way, you stuck in and digging the tunnel.

It looks as if you are enjoying yourself.

When we come through the hole and find we are

in the cafe next door. I wont be so pleased.

Why aren't you telling these guys

about the possible danger of flooding?

well.. You have seen what Taylor's like.

Couldn't have get him down.

Anyway the weather forecast is good.

Probably a beautiful morning up there.

- Rover to base.

- Monsoon says, how is the traffic?

- Pretty light.

- Okay. Stand by for the big one.

They are ready Mike.

Now I want to know as soon as the traffic

moves off. Have you got that? Over..

Have you got that? Over.

- We will go for the next red.

- Green.. Still green.

- Amber.

Red!

Harry. Harry! For Christ's sake.

Shut him up. - Shut up. Shut up.

- What's happening for god's sake?

- I have no idea. Just start over again.

Jesus! Red.. Still red.

- Red and amber.

- Red and amber.

- Green...

- Now...

We are going in to have a look.

Come on... the worst is over.

We bloody made it.

They are here.

Check all the exits.

Check all the windows..

- Understood. There are 4 of us inside.

- Can we keep the noise down?

This vault is soundproof.

- Stephen... Stephen.. Come here.

That's for services rendered.

What's this? The order of the Sewer?

- Not for you.

- It's internal.

I will see if the inspector is outdoor.

- Times running out. We have to shed you.

- We are doing okay.

- Hey George.. Figure this is of a jockey?

- Nah! the box is too high.

The republicans have arrived.

The sergeant tells me that, there is no

visible signs of entry

But I will be glad if you take a look at it.

- It's all right.. that's my duty.

It won't open easily Sir?

- My Dear man...

This vault is equipped with a bolt lock mechanism.

The time lock is set for 9.00, Monday morning opening.

- I supervise it myself.

- So you cant open it now.

Inspector! The only way, we can get into this

vault now, is to, if I had the authority,

which I do not, to burn our way in

with a thermal lens.

- So how do you explain the alarm going off?

- I suppose there must be a fault in the system.

- Has it happened before?

- Several times.

All right sergeant! Leave 2 men in the building.

Arrange a relief rotator.

We will be here till the vault is opened

Nine'o clock Monday morning.

Thank you Mr. Maxwell..

Good of you to come in.

I will see you straight back to

the golf club Sir.

Hold on John. Hold on John.

This ones mine.

- What time are you leaving tomorrow?

- I don't know yet.
