:46:02
We don't necessarily want to interfere.
:46:04
It's just that... well, what sort of blitz
were you contemplating?
:46:10
We sneak out at night to a spot
I found near the wire - a blind spot.
:46:13
Then we dig down, take the dirt,
spread it on top so it won't make a pile,
:46:17
and then straight out.
:46:18
Ives here is a tunnel man, so he digs
in front, pushes the dirt behind him.
:46:22
I stash it behind me, then we burrow
through the dirt like a couple of moles.
:46:26
By dawn we're under the wire, across
the open space, into the woods and gone.
:46:37
Well...
:46:41
When do you intend to try this?
:46:43
- When do you intend to try it?
- Oh, tonight.
:46:47
Hilts, this may not be quite
the right time for this sort of thing.
:46:51
Look, sir, I've been in the bag
nearly three years now,
:46:54
bloody close to being wire-happy.
:46:57
It's a blitz-out for me, or forget it.
:47:00
It'll work. I know it will.
:47:10
Good luck.
:47:12
Thank you.
:47:15
- Hilts, um... how do you breathe?
- We got a steel rod with hinges on it.
:47:20
We shove it up and make air holes
as we go along.
:47:22
Good night, sir.
:47:30
Now, why didn't anybody
think of that before?
:47:33
It's so stupid, it's positively brilliant.
:47:36
But it'll bring every goon
in the camp down on top of us.
:47:39
I don't know.
Perhaps we're being too clever.
:47:41
If we stop all the breakouts,
:47:43
it may only convince the goons
that we must be tunnelling.
:47:47
I hope it works. If it doesn't, they're going
to be in the cooler for an awful long time.
