Lescovar's confirmed my signals
got through to London.

:04:21
Do you like that chap?
:04:23
- Who's that, Lescovar?
- Yeah.

:04:26
I haven't thought anything
about him.

:04:28
- Knows his job, I suppose.
- Yes, he does, doesn't he?

:04:35
All right, sergeant?
:04:36
What do you think?
Pretty straightforward, isn't it?

:04:39
Well, no, not exactly.
:04:42
In fact, not by a long chalk.
:04:44
I'd say you're flogging
a dead horse there, old man.

:04:47
- What are you trying to tell me?
- Want to take a look?

:04:49
Are you kidding?
I know every inch of that bridge.

:04:52
Oh, yeah?
:04:53
In that case, you'll have noticed
how it's built into the living rock.

:04:57
And how those main pilings are not
just concrete, but 20 feet thick.

:05:01
That's not forgetting...
:05:03
I told you, London's dropping
the same stuff we had before.

:05:06
Yes, I know what you're getting,
but it's not gonna be enough.

:05:09
- What do you mean, not enough?
- You might just bend it a little...

:05:13
...burn the paint work
here and there.

:05:15
But nothing that would seriously
inconvenience the Jerries, I thought.

:05:19
Our experts have been studying
that bridge, and they say it'll blow.

:05:23
I don't know where you learned...
:05:25
...but I'm talking about
the best engineers in the business.

:05:28
Yes. They're probably experts
at building things...

:05:31
...whereas I'm an expert
at blowing them up.

:05:33
Take it from me that
one would need eight hours...

:05:36
...to make a decent job
of that bridge.

:05:38
Eight hours?
:05:39
Assuming, of course, the Jerries are
kind enough to leave us in peace.

:05:43
And maybe provide
a few working lights.

:05:46
You've seen those searchlights,
have you? Well, I...

:05:49
- Miller.
- Sir.

:05:51
I think you've made
your technical point.

:05:54
Many thanks, sir.
:05:56
If I weren't absolutely sure of my facts,
I wouldn't be telling you this now.
