It's a bit dark there. Good-bye, old man.
- Nice chap.
- Mmm.
Oh, dear.
- You know, it's awful about the children.
- Mmm.
Well, if we can get hold of one
of those things and have a look at it...
we can see what it was like
and we could broadcast a warning.
But, Sammy, how would you tackle it?
Oh, damn.
You'll have the warden after you.
Is it hurting?
Not more than usual.
Why don't you take it off?
- Have you taken your dope?
- No.
Problem.
doesn't do my foot any good.
It makes me feel bad.
That noble remedy,
on the other hand...
doesn't do me any good either.
But at least it leaves me not caring
whether it hurts or not.
Would you like a whisky, Sammy?
Mmm. I would.
Why don't you take the thing off?
- You know that helps.
- No.
You do when you're alone.
Why will you keep it on when I'm here?
It's all right now.
Ohl Look. Look.
- Can we have another?
- Yes, sir.
- Ready with another one, Jack?
- Yes, okay.
Fire!
- You reducing the charge?
- Yes, we'll put it down to 60 grams this time, sir.
- Think that'll be better? - I
think so. Yes. - How's your shoulder?
- What is the, uh, muzzle velocity?
- 1,500, sir.
Now I suppose you people will send in a report
saying the Reeve's gun is a marvelous weapon.
- Depends on the figures.
- Stop playing with figures, my boy.
- Learn something about soldiering.
- Fire.
- He's on the target all right.
- Yes, in 20 seconds.
- What we need is 10 rounds a minute.
- Fresh target.
- You don't like the Reeve's, I gather.
- Heaven make me patient.
- Have you ever fired at a tank?
- Not in anger.
Well, they move, don't they?
They crawl about. They-They zigzag.
- They don't like being shot at.
- You think the Reeve's is difficult to handle?
- Are you ready?
- I think the sort of chap we have to use...
- couldn't get a moving tank in his sights in a week.
- Firel
- Good man.
- Come on. I've seen enough.
Can't quite understand your outfit.
What do you call yourselves?
I don't think we call ourselves anything.
We're just Professor Mair's research section.
- Well, who do you come under?
- Nobody.
Professor Mair's got a lot of contacts, of course.
He's an old friend of the minister's.
I know that, but you haven't got
any establishment...
or terms of reference or anything...
anything old-fashioned like that?
Not as far as I know.
We just tackle any job we're given.
You know, this thing's spreading.
The country's crawling...
with this and that
chap's research outfit.
They don't belong to anybody.
They don't report to anybody.
- Do you?
- No.
No responsibility and lots of power.
It's not right, you know.
It's not right.
