The Escapist Page #2

I told you, I'm not in the mood.

What would you prefer to smack?

That bit of leather,

or your number two?

Smack?

I had something more brutal

in mind.

You walk through walls, Lenny,

and that's useful.

Is it?

Say we talk,

and you're not interested.

Well, it goes without saying,

we never talked.

Yeah, it goes without saying.

[men shouting indistinctly]

Frank.

[approaching footsteps]

Domino.

Three players.

All right.

Barriers?

One.

Two.

Three.

Locks?

Bolt and key.

No chance.

I'm a thief, not a magician.

There is another way.

How?

Shower drain.

Directly above.

It's the same problem above.

And more barriers.

Only one:

chapel wall.

It'll take all night.

Ever considered confessing?

Back of the confessional.

Panel's loose.

And the chapel door?

What about tools?

The Lord...

provides.

[buzzer sounds]

[clock ticking]

[wood clunking]

Domino.

First hammer on tile,

the screws will come running.

Alarms would be louder.

- Who sets them off?

- We do.

When they cotton

onto us missing.

It's an obstacle course as it is.

If they're onto us from the off...

We'll be over the drains

when the alarm goes.

By the time they leave the Spur,

we'll be in the laundry.

How long have we got

before they're in the laundry?

Five minutes, tops.

[sighs]

It's enough.

All right.

Next piece.

The dryer.

- Locks?

- Older than me.

Yeah, but what about the cap

on the vent?

You don't worry about that.

I'll sort my end.

Yeah, yeah, I do worry.

Have you got something

that cuts through steel?

I got whatever it takes.

Lights out.

Lights out.

Five minutes of your time,

Two Ton?

I think I may have found you

a challenger.

Domino.

From the minute we're inside,

you breathe.

You don't talk.

That far underground,

banter echoes.

Ignore your thinking.

It'll only be playing tricks.

Things are different down there.

The laundry vent

will take us to here,

top of a sump.

Then we go deep.

There's a drainage tunnel.

Now, we're going to need

to get through that.

After that...

as far as the river.

What river?

We're south, remember?

I can't swim.

No.

We go under it.

There's a reservoir,

under the embankment.

It connects to the rail network.

Once we're on the tracks,

all roads lead to Rome.

Charing Cross.

That's where we surface.

Why so far north?

There's got to be stations closer.

Plenty of exits.

Easy to disappear

if we hit rush hour.

No, before rush hour.

The track goes live at 5:00.

630 volts.

If we're not on the platform by then,

we're tap dancing.

How do you know all this?

How's he know all this?

Because I shoveled sh*t

down there for 12 years.

Oh, busman's holiday for you then.
