little things like a fuse or something.

-The air-conditioner seems to be ok.

Yeah, that's what I noticed.

-We need a good explanation for this.

It's expensive, even if they sue us.

-They are from the elevator company.

Milligan, I'm the manager.

Well, what's the verdict? How soon

can we get this elevator back in action?

-Within the hour, I'd say.

Quick. I want a full report.

-No problem, sir.

Nice guy.

-These express elevators carry over

money when they're out of order.

Let's get started before he deducts it

from our pay cheque.

Tim take you up to the engine room.

-Fine, let's go. Mark, are you coming?

Yeah.

Jeez, this is high.

-You're afraid of heights, are ya?

I am. I... just left that off

the application.

Oh, falcons.

-The city has brought them in to keep

the pigeon population down. They love it

here. Something to do with the thermals.

Here we are.

Hey, terrible thing what happened

to your colleague, that Polish guy...

Kowalski.

-Yeah, couldn't believe it.

He was such a cheerful fellow, then

committing suicide the way he did...

You never really know someone.

-Yeah, I guess that's true.

I don't know much about computers, but

there was a lot of lightning last night.

We counted 4 strikes.

-Lightning struck the control unit?

It's a possibility, ain't it?

-We have here the latest technology,

electrostatic fields or radiation

f***ing up no more computers today.

Well, you're the experts.

-Yeah, that's right.

I'll leave you. If you need anything

call 9-0-0. -Yeah, we will, thanks.

You pissed him off.

-Of course I did.

No-one tells me to do or to look for.

-What if he was right?

About the lightning?

-If, we ain't gonna admit it.

We're the experts, right? All right,

express elevators, G-bank,

here it is. Ok, you go over the car,

the air-co, the alarm system

the door-locking mechanism, the wiring.

-Why don't I check his police record?

I'll check this boxes and this baby.

-See you down there.

I hope you're not planning on spending

the rest of afternoon on that air-co.

I can't find a thing.

Ah, they'll be happy to hear that.

What is that?

-It's just a draught.

A draught?

-This baby here is over 1.000 feet high.

You can get a temperature difference

of more than 30 degrees. Believe me,

it can storm up there.

-Well, next time I'll bring my umbrella.

Let's go. Tell them they can turn it on.

-Second. What are we gonna report?

Report that everything's fine.

-And if they wanna know, what it was?

So I'll make 'em happy and I'll say, one

of the switches needed a drop of oil.

Ah, f*** sh*t. I dropped my wallet.

-Would you hurry up.

Did it? Did one of the switches

need a drop of oil?
