" This stinks." " What do you expect?" "It's a sewer." "First sign of a rat, I'm off." " Oh, my God." "There they are." " It's not rats you want to worry about." "It's the alligators." " Are you looking for this?" " Don't run." "You're under arrest for breaking and entering and theft." "You don't have to say anything, but if you don't, we'll be really offended." " And you wouldn't want that." " What is this?" "What are you doing?" "This is it." "This is where we go in." "Ow!" " What now?" " Something bit me." "I'll bite you if you don't shut up." "John Magnusson, you're a hard man to find." "Even harder to catch." "You must be slipping." "What is this?" "We want you to watch something." "So you've got me on video?" "So what?" "You've been to prison, John." "You know the form. 23 hours lockup." "Visits once every fortnight." "I'd be talking with my brief if you were going to do anything. what's the deal?" "Don't make me hurt you." "A-ow." "All right." "I get the message." "Are you some kind of government outfit?" "It must be the helicopter that gave us away." "What the hell do you want with me?" " Reckon you can get through there?" " If it gets me away from the rats." " Living up to your motto." " What motto?" "Who dares whinge." "Bloody hell." "What can you see?" "It's a bunker." "There's beds in here and everything." "Even an old telephone with a dial." "Need some wD-40 on that." "Can you see the iron door?" "Yeah." "Found it." "It's here, like it says on the plan." "Momi El Fassad, 34." "Journalist for a Saudi media company." "But with suspected links to terrorist groups." "Messy." "329mm rounds fired at close range in less than two seconds, accuracy wasn't really an issue." "The motorbike was dumped on waste ground, incinerated." "Aren't you going to introduce us?" "This is Yager." "He's with Mossad." "He knows who you are." "The group responsible for this are an organisation so secret, so new, they have no name." "We call them the Zukenish." "It's a Yiddish word meaning to search, hunt." "They are well organised, well connected and well funded." "The members are mostly nationals from other countries, British, French, German." "They integrate, become dentists, dustmen, doctors, get married." " Sleepers." " If you like." "But signing up to do one job and one job only." "This makes it harder for us to track them down." "Why would you want to?" "They're doing your job for you." "Momi El Fassad was working for us." "We are engaged in a political war." "Sometimes all is not as it seems." "In other words, you've lost control of the situation." "The Zukenish have a list." "It has contact details of all agents and proposed targets." "The list is held by an American diplomat, Art Spellman." "Spellman is NSA." "His speciality is codes and ciphers." "In the world of intelligence, that makes him a player." "So we don't know how high up this goes." "The only way to establish that is to seize the list." "We need to do so without causing our American friends embarrassment." " What's this place?" " Hartingtons' safety deposit centre." "Spellman is a regular customer in his guise as a diplomatic courier." " It's where the list is being held." " And you want us to steal it." "It's a black bag operation." "We can't officially sanction this." "If you want to back out now, you can." "And if we're caught, we're on our own." "Regiment will deny you've been badged." "If it goes to court, you risk a custodial sentence." "I'm up for it." "I'm game." "What do you think, Henno?" "We've all got careers." "Some of us have got families." "You want us to risk it for towel heads engaged in somebody else's war." "No." "Our concern is that these people are using London as a base." "We don't know whether Spellman's abusing his position, or if his activities are part of some wider conspiracy." "We have to assess the risk." "If the odds are against it, all bets are off." " Right. we can't rush into this blind." " You seem unhappy, Ian." "The truth is, I am." "Are you standing down?" "If I have a choice." "Very well." "You'll need an expert." "A safe cracker, someone who knows what they're doing." "Let's hope you're as good as they say you are." "All we can tell you is it's a matter of national security." "You'll be a hero." " If not..." "...this goes to Scotland Yard..." " I have no choice, have I?" " No." "Not really." "You need a firm, constant, even pressure." "Right?" "Give it some of that!" "Come on!" "This is a layout of the sewers that flow under Hartingtons." "You won't find this on any Water Board map." "The War Office built an underground bunker for its staff when they occupied the building." "Hardly anyone knows it exists." "Give us it here." "It had heat, light, running water, plus its own independent telephone network." "Does that mean there's a generator?" " Yes." " Does it work?" "It does now." "The bunker has steps leading up to where the old vault starts." "That's where we go in." "'Hartingtons is one of London's oldest financial institutions." "'Located in London's square mile, 'its customers include the rich, the famous and the infamous.'" " Deakin and Butler?" " That's us." "Leave mobile phones with me." "'After the Zoolander robbery eight years ago, 'demand from certain clients led to a review of the bank's facilities.'" "In 1996, Hartingtons commissioned a steel-fibre, chemically-bonded modular design vault," "With panels 12 inches thick, reinforced with steel rods, rated UL3." "They placed it inside the old vault, making it virtually impregnable, and lined the inside With quarter-inch steel plate." "So the weakest point is the bunker entrance." "Which brings us out into the reception area of the vault." "Morning, gentlemen." "'The security guards Will give you a once-over." "'Nothing too intimate." "They don't want to frighten the clientele." "'Access is granted once you hand over your key card and password.'" "Larkhall." "'The computer manipulates the combination, 'allowing the vault door to open.'" "'when the vault is closed, the signal from the cameras are blocked 'to allow the customers extra privacy.'" "'This is inconvenient, as we don't know the location of the list 'and there are over 2,000 boxes, 'all electronically operated and encoded with a client's key card.' 'we won't have time to open them all.'" "'We've installed a transmitter to hack into their CCTV system.'" "'The transmitter works off a high infrared frequency, 'rendering its signal untraceable." "'Our ability to manipulate the camera gives us control whenever we need it.'" "'That way, when the security guard gets a blank screen, 'we get glorious black and white.'" "'AII we do now is wait for Spellman to turn up and tip us the wink.'" "Thank you." " What about seismic detectors?" " Dual PIR and microwave sensors." "Placed in three walls, here, here and here." "How will you bypass them?" " TEMPEST attack." " What's that?" "Transient, electromagnetic, pulse Surveillance Technology." "We interpret the emissions from the system, convert it to binary code and come up with a few passwords." " And if you don't?" " We'll have to get used to prison food." "The contingency plan is to use the self-testing circuitry of the dual devices to monitor themselves on a loop." "You should take this up professionally." "We've got information on the door." "It's a Horus II with full-length locking bar, triple-tumbler combination locks with a three movement 144-hour time lock." "Do you think you can crack it?" "Get one here and we'll see." " Wallace, how are you doing?" " Good, Mr Spellman, how are you?" " Working hard for the government." " You should get a pay rise." "A raise would be nice." "What's your fancy in the 3:30?" "My money's on Red Lester." "4-5 on." "Can't miss." " I'll make a note of it." " Go on through." "They're expecting you." "Good lad." "Six hours, 23 minutes and 31 seconds." " Not bad for a first attempt." " You need to do it in one hour." "This is a class III safe." "It takes two hours blasting it with thermal lances." "Are you sure we can't go in electronically, hack into the mainframe?" "It's possible." "The system's serviced once a year on Christmas Day." "If we tell it Santa's coming, We've got a chance." " But?" " But it's connected to an atomic clock." " What about using the pass card?" " Doesn't work after hours." "Looks like I'm all you've got." "Gotcha." "I believe this is what you've been waiting for." "Lads, we're on." " Yes." " About time." "You're right there." "Jamie, CO wants to see you." "Your mother died this morning." "The call came through to us." "I'm very sorry." "You have a week's leave, effective immediately." "I don't need it, boss." "Don't you want to go to the funeral, be with the family?" "Can't see the point." "She's dead." "Nothing I can do about that." "Right. well, that's all." "Boss." "Fancy a pint?" " Could murder one." " Come on." " These date from the early 1900s." "The diamonds are old European transitional." "The first has a centre stone of 1.51 carats." "It's VS2 clarity and G colour." "It's surrounded by eight smaller diamonds." " Would you excuse me for a moment?" "Ben Guerin Antique and Fine Art Jewellery." " Hello?" " 'Hello, Levi.'" "Sorry." "I didn't catch the name." "'Have you ever read The Fall Of Masada?" "'" "Hang on." "I'm sorry, Mr Freeman." "I have to close the shop." " Do you mind if I come back later?" " Of course." "The Fall Of Masada, chapter five, page 120, chapter two, word five?" "'Vespasian.'" " What do I have to do?" " 'You'll receive instructions shortly.'" " You're late." " I had to walk from the station." " Can I get you a drink?" " Glass of red." "Is it me or the book?" "You said you wanted to talk about Pete." "Yeah, I did." "Was there something else?" "There's supposed to be a chain of command for this sort of thing, but I can trust you, can't I?" "Of course, unless you'd rather talk to the family liaison officer." "No, I don't want this getting back to Pete." "I couldn't talk to Henno." "He has problems of his own." "I'm sorry, Ian." "This was a bad idea." "Hey, hey, hey." "Hey." "What is it?" "I hate him." "I hadn't realised it was so bad." "We haven't slept together for months." " What about counselling?" " For me or for Pete?" "Well, Pete, naturally." "Perhaps, if I made a recommendation." " You think he'd listen to you?" " He'd have to listen to the CO." "Oh, no, you see, I knew I shouldn't have done this." "You're implicated now." "He tried to murder you in his sleep." "That wasn't his fault." "Why tell me if you don't want me to do something about it?" "Because I just needed someone to listen." " Get out." "Please!" " I'm sorry." "Stupid, stupid, stupid." "Can I give you a lift?" "Hi." "Oh, my God, Pete." "What's happened?" " I'll clear it up." " Leave it." " You can't leave glass on the floor." " I said leave it." "How long is this gonna go on for?" "Look, I lost it, all right?" "Pete, please." "Will you see someone?" "Will you just see someone?" "If I see someone, I'm finished." "Don't you understand that?" "Where the hell have you been anyway?" "I was out at the shops." "At this time of night?" "They're open 24 hours now." "Laura." "I said leave it alone." "I can't do this." "I can't go through with it." " Your assignment." " Aren't you listening to me?" "How's business?" "You're a jeweller." "I'll pay the money back." "It's not as simple as that." "'Right, if we succeed in getting as far as breaking into the vault, 'all properties seized are to be bagged up and sent for forensic examination." "'There are no exceptions." "'Boxes within the area of 284 are to be hit first." "'we need to make it look real." "We need to make it hurt.'" "Hey, Ricky, you let one go there, mate." " Come." " You wanted to see me, sir?" " Yes, I did." "Sit down." " Am I in trouble, sir?" " Yes, you are." "This is it, lads." "Amazing what you can do with a bit of flour and water." "Right, here we go." "I consider it bad form that you stepped down from your responsibilities." " You gave me a choice, sir." " You chose your career above the men." " How do you think they'll view that?" " In a dim light, I guess." " Your guess would be right." " It's a black bag..." "If you want to succeed in this regiment, forget what you learnt in all the others." "The men are first and foremost." "We all rely on each other." "Sir." " I believe you volunteered for a job." " Have I?" "Red One, situation report on the surface." "Over." " 'All quiet on this front.'" " Got that." "Let's get the equipment in." "Get yourself back up on top with the jackhammer." " I've got to walk back through the rats?" " Yeah." "They're good for you." "Pick yourself a spot. wait for the call." " Security guard's trying the Water Board." " Efficient." "I'm holding him off with an engaged tone." "Hopefully he'll give up." " How are we doing on those codes?" " I'm working on it." "'Sorry." "Ring-back service cannot be used on this call.'" "Lock has rusted." "Age is holding this door together, not mechanics." " What do you suggest?" " Some plastic just crimped into the hole." "Excuse me." "Three, two..." "Stop work." "Stop now." " What are you doing?" " What's it look like?" "The water Board informs us when work's to be carried out." "Emergency repairs." "Pipe's burst. we need to find it." "I see." "All right, then, mate." "I won't disturb you." " Clear." " Clear." "Three, two, one." "You're doing a good job, lads." "I need to input these codes very soon." "I'm working on it." "The program's still analysing." "Shit." "He's dialling the direct line emergency number." " Thames water, emergency helpline." " 'Morning.'" "Security at Hartingtons on Bank way." "We've got some of your chaps working on the water mains." "Is that authorised?" " 'Hold on.'" "Romeo One Five, come in." "'One Five, go ahead!" "'" "What did you tell this idiot?" "'Sorry for the delay." "There are emergency Works going on in your area.'" "There's been a burst pipe and the technicians are trying to locate it as soon as possible." "I'm sorry for any inconvenience." "No bother at all." "Done." "That's good work, lads." " I've got the first set of codes for you." " I'm ready." "This is the vault reception area." "X-ray, three, niner, Yankee, whisky, tango, four, three, lima, kilo." " No." "OK, try Quebec, papa, zero, niner, eight, victor, bravo, five, six, tango." "That's the first part of a three-stage code." "Get the next bit wrong and the whole bloody thing resets." "All right, that's it." "It's a quarter-inch steel inner wall." "Caroline, how are you progressing with those codes?" "What's that?" "One, niner, Juliet, Romeo, tango, zero, niner, Mike."

" That's the first one done." " That's 45 minutes." "Give us a chance." "Four, niner..." "Seven, one, four, five, five, niner, Yankee." "They don't work." "Maybe they're for something else." "This is the last set of codes." "If these don't work, they'll have to hit and run." "Seven, five, one, whisky delta, four, niner." "One hour, five minutes, 53 seconds." " 'Clear.'" " Got that." "Go." "Lads, we've got what we came for." "Do it up to make it look good." " Deakin and Butler." " That's us." "Our security guard's dialling three nines."

"Come on." "Get up!" "Leave it!" "Leave it, you stupid bastard!" " Let's go!" " We're off!" "Oi!" " We're being followed!" " Well, lose them." "Excuse me, sir." "I'm going to need your vehicle."

"Do you want to spend the next 15 years with a cork up your arse in the shower?" " No." " Neither do I." " No!" " You compromised us!" "Goodbye." "No!" " 'We have the list.'" " That's good." "'Carry on.'" "They've got the list." "That's all I need." " What don't you understand?" " I can't do it." "As soon as we decipher the code, we can start to read the list." "Saving lives and our blushes." " What about Spellman?" " Didn't you hear?" "The Palestinians got him." " And Magnusson?" " Once a thief, always a thief." "No one will believe him."
