:32:05
Gentlemen, no doubt you've heard the
immortal words of our new commandant.

:32:10
"Devote your energies
to things other than escape

:32:13
and sit out the war
as comfortably as possible."

:32:17
Well, that's exactly
what we're going to do.

:32:20
We're going to devote our energies
to sports and gardening,

:32:24
all the cultural pursuits
as far as they're concerned.

:32:27
In fact, we're going to
put the goons to sleep.

:32:30
Meanwhile, we dig.
:32:34
Now, even a superficial look
at the compound

:32:37
shows us that huts 104 and 5
are closest to the woods.

:32:41
The first tunnel goes out from 105,
:32:43
directly east
under the cooler and the wire.

:32:46
But that's over 300 feet, Roger.
:32:48
- Did you make a survey, Dennis?
- Only a temporary one, sir.

:32:51
- I make it just over 335 feet.
- Tell me when you've got an exact one.

:32:55
Willie, this time we'll dig straight down
30 feet before we go horizontal.

:32:59
That'll rule out any question
of sound detection or probing.

:33:02
All right, Roger,
but did you say the first tunnel?

:33:05
I did. There'll be three.
:33:09
We'll call them Tom, Dick and Harry.
Tom goes out directly east from 104.

:33:13
Dick goes north from the kitchen, and
Harry goes out parallel to Tom from 105.

:33:20
If the goons find one,
we'll move into the other.

:33:23
How many men do you
plan to take out, Roger?

:33:27
250.
:33:29
There'll be no half measures this time.
Identification papers for everyone.

:33:34
And, Griff, we'll need outfits for the lot.
:33:37
- 250?
- Mostly civilian clothes.

:33:40
Yes, but...
:33:43
OK, Roger.
:33:45
Mac. Maps, blankets, rations,
compasses for all the walkers.

:33:49
- Timetables for every train.
- Right, Roger.

:33:57
- Sorry I'm late, Roger.
- It's all right, Colin. Sit down.
