The Secret Invasion Page #4

A broken finger,

an infected nail, and bang!

A couple of more weeks of this, lad,

and I'll be taking out a card

in the Mole Union.

What's the matter down there, huh?

What is it?

I just met one of the more recent burials.

Recent burials?

What are you talking about?

I'm not going back down there.

Rocca, this tunneling is going too slowly.

We've only got three days left.

We'll be inside in time.

Well, the margin's too close.

This mission is not going to fail, hear me?

- We'll tunnel around the clock.

- The curfew.

If any of us are

discovered out after dark...

- Yeah, well, I'll take that risk.

- You'll take it without me.

You'll do what I tell you.

I will work.

And Svetlana.

How much longer?

No more.

Yes, I will do my share.

I said no more.

How gentle you can sometimes be.

Go home and nurse your child.

Go on.

I can reproduce this stuff in my sleep.

Good boy.

They've picked up Petar.

- When?

- I saw them in the street,

just after I left the cemetery.

Can he be trusted?

He can be trusted.

But if he is tortured, who knows?

We'll have to suspend the operation

until we're sure.

And if Petar talks,

it will have to be abandoned.

Abandoned?

Abandoned?

This mission will be abandoned

only when all six of us are dead!

Like hell.

I'm not dying to prove you've got guts.

What's driving you, Mace?

This is no mission with you,

it's a personal crusade!

Now, you listen to me.

My brother didn't give up his life...

- Your brother?

- ...so some yellow little...

What about your brother?

Well, I'll tell you.

I was in command

of Balkan Intelligence in 1942.

My brother was an officer

under my command.

He was captured

and placed in Dubrovnik Fortress.

What blame to you?

There was certain information

I wanted from inside.

He managed to find a way

to get it out to me.

I ask again.

What fault was yours?

I waited too long before getting him out.

So we're expected to buy

your honor, your vengeance

and your military reputation?

Why did they bust you, Major?

Yes, it's true.

They relieved me of my command.

I couldn't...

Couldn't carry on for a while.

It's as much our mission as yours now.

I agree that it's urgent.

Petar may want to be loyal,

but not be able to.

Can your people create a diversion for us?

Blow up a gun or a guard post,

anything to cover the sound

of an explosion within the tomb?

- It will be done.

- We must get to the tomb at once.

Scanlon might be able

to open an entrance to the drain

without attracting attention.

Someone must take explosives to him.

It's almost curfew.

We can't risk the streets.

I'll go, with the baby.

If I am stopped,
