00:00I used all my options, worked off my dues
00:14Played all the cards, now there's nothing to lose
00:19Don't want tomorrow to be like today
00:23That's why I'm breaking away
00:26I'm not trying to run, I'm trying to hide
00:32Walk out the wind if I'm losing my pride
00:36Won't let tomorrow be like today
00:40That's why I'm breaking away
00:43Ooh, breaking away
00:47Got to find a better way
00:52Till the good times roll around the air
00:58I'll feed the air
01:02I'll feed the air
01:32I'll feed the air
02:02Early bird, Nev?
02:20I thought we were going to get an early start
02:22I thought that was the general idea
02:24Ah, it was last night, wasn't it, when the bevy were being sucked
02:29In the cold light of day, however, what is a different matter, isn't it?
02:33Well, you don't think they're going to go off the idea, do you?
02:36I'm just saying it'll be midday, won't it, before they sleep off last night's binge
02:40Oh, you'd be typical of that night's binge
02:42Typical
02:43I'm still going
02:45Lately than I'd like
02:47You know, I promised to meet an old mate of mine in the Allstad
02:50Yeah, he's coming over from Cravefield
02:53But I'm definitely going, yeah
02:56Give the bike a run
02:57Take it out in the country, like, you know

15:23Well, I'll do it.
15:26Oh.
15:27Right.
15:28Are you coming for something to eat?
15:30No, I don't.

15:35Suit yourself. Good luck, son.
15:37Take care, Colin. Have a nice trip, eh?
15:39See you.
15:40Right, whose hand was it? Moxie's.
15:41Don't we start? Yes, it is.
15:43I've got the first one.
15:54You off then?
15:56Yeah, there's still room for one on the back, isn't I?
15:59I've told you I don't want to go.
16:01All right.
16:03Looks like rain, anyway.
16:05Do you reckon?
16:07Definite.
16:08I'd put the mockers on this weekend, wouldn't it?
16:20Good afternoon, mate.
16:26And then, we'll go to the hospital.
16:28Let's go to the hospital.
16:33Hey, Buzz.
16:35Got any letters need posting?
16:37Any what?
16:38Letters.
16:39I'm off to the post office, aren't I?
16:41No, no.
16:42I sent some money home two weeks ago.
16:45How'd you fancy a swift half later?
16:47Well, depends what happens down the post office, doesn't it, son?
16:51Here.
16:53I hope you're not just gonna sit there and lust over that all day.
16:57I've got plenty of things to do.
16:59Yeah, like what?
17:00Never mind.
17:01Call her the vandals, son, eh? Might be a reward.
17:04Look, I'll manage London, thank you very much, all right?
17:07It suits me fine, everybody gone.
17:09Okay, well, so long as you're all right, mate.
17:11I'll see you later.
17:13Hello?
17:21It suits me fine, everybody gone.
17:24Make me sell a nice cup of tea.
17:34Oh, bloody...
17:43That's how you do it. It's that simple. How about going yourself?
17:44Here.
17:45Taking the right hand, right?
17:46Right.
17:47Right.
17:48Right.
17:49Right.
17:50Now, with the fly rod, you can only reel in, you can't reel out.
17:55Because if you fly fishing, the line don't sink, it has to float on the surface.
17:56Pull the line out with the left hand.
17:57Come on, pull out an arm's length, as far as you can.
17:58And then you can only reel in, you can't reel out.
17:59Because if you fly fishing, the line don't sink, it has to float on the surface.
18:02Pull the line out with the left hand.
18:03Pull out an arm's length, as far as you can.
18:04Right.
18:05Now, whip the rod back over the shoulder.
18:06Go on, whip it back, keeps the line tight.
18:07Like that.
18:08Right.
18:09Now, bring it back, pull out another arm's length.
18:11Pull some more over the shoulder.
18:12Now, let's go.
18:13That's how you do it.
18:14That's how you do it.
18:15It's that simple.
18:16Now, go on.
18:17Take the right hand, right?
18:18Right.
18:19Right.
18:20Now, with the fly rod, you can only reel in, you can't reel out.
18:22Because if you fly fishing, the line don't sink, it has to float on the surface.
18:25Pull the line out with the left hand.
18:27Go on, pull out an arm's length, as far as you can.
18:28Right.
18:29Now, whip the rod back over the shoulder.
18:30Right.
18:31Now, bring it back, pull out another arm's length.
18:33Pull some more out.
18:34Pull.
18:35Snap.
18:36Pull.
18:37Snap.
18:38Pull.
18:39Snap.
18:40How do you know this place, then, then?
18:42Well, last time I was working in Germany, I was in Kerblenz.
18:46And these Erics brought me out here to this wedding.
18:49Made me feel so welcome, you know.
18:51It was...
18:52I think it was the nicest time I've ever had here.
18:54Just like being at home, you know.
18:56Fish a lot back home, do you?
18:59Yeah, yeah.
19:00I've got a mate lives in Hexham.
19:01That's in Northumberland, like, you know.
19:03I go up there on weekends to the Tyne Valley.
19:06Ah, it's great up there, man.
19:08It's so quiet and peaceful.
19:11Yeah, you wouldn't believe it, Moxie.
19:13It's magic, man.
19:14Pull.
19:15Snap.
19:16Pull.
19:17Snap.
19:18Right.
19:19You've enough slack out.
19:22Now, hit your mark.
19:24Nice.
19:25Hey!
19:26Hey!
19:27Hey!
19:28Hey!
19:29Hey, hey, hey!
19:30Hey.
19:31Hey!
19:32Hey.
19:33Hey, Harry, how are you?
19:34That's right.
19:35There's a river near where I live, it has to be as good as an artist.
19:38Not that I'm allowed to fish it.
19:39Now that I'm allowed to fish it, Tufts were all the rights.
19:42That doesn't stop all mine.
19:44I'm glad I came on, aren't you?
19:45I'm glad I got here, mate. I knew they took the wrong road, sir.
19:49It's just so, I don't know, different.
19:52It's like I'm seeing the real Germany.
19:55Right, well, you know, if we're gonna broaden our horizons,
19:58we've got to escape from the confines of our professional situation.
20:01That's what I'm always saying.
20:02Well, words to that effect.
20:04That's Ozzy's problem, you see, Nev.
20:07Couldn't have desire to educate himself, is he?
20:10Or acquire a knowledge of the outside world?
20:12All right.
20:14Elaine Sertes was just the same.
20:16Who?
20:18That girl I was telling you about, you know, the...
20:21Oh, a joint witch with a moustache.
20:23Right, right, as you say.
20:25You know, part of her ambition, Neville, was a semi in Codsall, right?
20:29And two weeks in the year in Magaluf?
20:32Nah, she would have stifled me, Neville.
20:35Aye.
20:36I'll bet.
20:37There's no summer fishing where I come from, you know.
20:40I fished a canal once, though.
20:42Caught a plimsoll and a couple of contraceptives.
20:45I don't...
20:47I don't...
20:48Oh, man.
20:49I don't know what to do, no.
20:50I don't know what to do.
20:5617 mothers should accidentally fall off with the big three mothers
21:04climbing on the wall, 16 mothers climbing on the wall
21:10and if one big mother should accidentally fall off with the big three mothers
21:15I think you need more pills
21:18I'll have a pill today
21:21Pills please
21:24Pills but not bottles
21:26You will need more or you should be more?
21:30I must get an ah
21:33one eat
21:46I'm glad you came son
21:49certainly brilliant mate
21:50Then, then, I was just saying, just saying to Neville, it proteins the horizons, didn't it?
21:54Yeah, it's a funny thing, though.
21:56What is it?
21:58A kind of missile does.
22:05Come on! Das ist nicht der Motorrad!
22:07Halb!
22:09Komm mal her!
22:11Gentlemen, gentlemen, I think someone tried to steal the motorbike.
22:15What?
22:17You see who was?
22:18No, he disappeared.
22:21You never left a key in it, did you, Barry?
22:23Yeah.
22:24I didn't think there'd be any trouble like that around here, did I?
22:31Okay.
22:33Ja, man, da, young, fit, han.
22:48More?
22:49No, no, that's it.
22:50Mommy, I'm going.
22:51Where are your friends?
22:53Friends?
22:54I've got no friends.
22:55Me, man.

24:48Yeah, isn't it, eh? I need that after last night's beer.
24:51I've got to keep it a tab of everything, Dennis.
24:54A tab?
24:56Yeah. You know, share all expenses, don't we?
25:00Even stevens like...
25:02hotel bills, hire of the rods, grub, you know. Stuff like that.
25:07But it do you ever leave off, eh?
25:10Look, Dennis, somebody's got to think of these things in the absence of an elected leader, you know, haven't they?
25:14Cool.
25:16Then...
25:27Morning.
25:29Morning.
25:31You still hit the lad?
25:32I couldn't get a lift, so I kept down.
25:36But why didn't you stay with us? You could have stayed in the village.
25:40Now, I've been camping, you see.
25:42Your bedroll don't take up much room, do it?
25:44You've been sleeping rough, haven't you?
25:46Just last night, that's all.
25:48Where did you all last eat?
25:50I'll be OK, honest. I'm all right.
25:51He's freezing dead.
25:53Listen!
25:54We're staying in a place in the village.
25:56Yeah, I know we're.
25:57Right, look, there's my room key, right?
25:59Get yourself back there, have a hot bath, get yourself something to eat, then have a good kip.
26:04Are you sure?
26:05Go on, before you catch pneumonia.
26:08Cheers.
26:10Thanks very much.
26:14Come on, lads, we've got some fishing to do.
26:15Hey!
26:32Hey! Hey! I've got a one! I've got a one!
26:48Hey! He has two! Look! Steady, lad!
26:50No, I can feel it, my bummer! I can feel it!
26:52Now, Ruddy, calm down, will you? It's not a really great white!
26:54Well, what do I do?
26:55Reel it in, you pranus!
26:56Come on, that's it.
27:02Hey! Look at that!
27:07Well done, son!
27:09Well done, mate!
27:16I know's one thing. That Colin's no stout.
27:19He don't know where he's going,
27:21and he ain't camping because he's got no gear.
27:23That's three things.
27:25Scared stiff, he asked me.
27:27Oh, he did, didn't he?
27:29I know.
27:30Oh...
27:33Now, despite your cynical exterior, Dennis,
27:36you...
27:37you give your fellow man the benefit of the doubt, don't you?
27:40Come again, buddy.
27:42Hey!
27:43You'd trust people, you do.
27:45Oh, you've got to, haven't you?
27:47Why shouldn't I?
27:49Look, I'm not disputing it's an admirable attitude.
27:52No, no, no.
27:53I was just...
27:54I was just thinking, you know...
27:56Thinking what?
27:59I was thinking that maybe it was, er...
28:02misplaced.
28:04You know, you... you trust, Lyle.
28:09Why?
28:10Well, consider that Colin, right?
28:12Now, you must admit, he does look a bit desperate.
28:15I think he ain't shaved for a few days, is he?
28:17Well, not a few.
28:18It's cos I'm going to bed.
28:19Maybe he is.
28:20Well, he's not a student, right?
28:22Does Bomber so rightly surmises?
28:24Nothing else, buddy, man.
28:26No, hear him out.
28:27Let him make his point.
28:28Well, there's a point to all this.
28:29Yeah, my point is this.
28:31If he's not a student, right,
28:35and he was hanging around last night,
28:38maybe it's him who tried to steal my bike.
28:41Maybe at this very minute, cos maybe,
28:44he's going for all our things, right,
28:47prior to pissing off the destinations unknown.
28:50Of course, this is a hypothetical speculation,
28:55not taking into account trust,
28:57which, er, which Dennis put so much store in.
29:01Come on.
29:03Come on.
29:04Come on.
29:23Thanks.
29:24What's the word, then?
29:52What's the word then?
29:54Bloody long queue at the post office, was I?
29:56Ah, short one, son. Short but sweet.
29:59Yeah.
30:00I gets up there to her window, right?
30:02Buys me two airmail and me registered letter,
30:04and then I lays it on her.
30:06In English, you know, cos she speaks a fair bit.
30:08Well, she's got to, ain't she, working in the post office.
30:11Did you bring the English pimpers?
30:13Yeah, yesterday.
30:14Want no football results?
30:16Well, leave it out. I'm trying to tell you a towel, ain't I?
30:18Well, man, to waste a time bringing Saturdays pimpers, man.
30:22I suppose you're finished at one, I says.
30:24Free for the weekend, I imagine.
30:26Yes, she says.
30:28With a delectable hint of a German accent.
30:30Well, I steamed in, didn't I?
30:32Despite the protest of some old ratbag in the queue behind me
30:35with an air freight to Canada.
30:37Anyway, cut a long story short.
30:39Which I wish you would.
30:40Now, listen, listen, I made arrangements for a rendezvous, didn't I?
30:43Yeah, movie, drinks, et cetera, et cetera.
30:46Back to her place.
30:47She's only got her own flat, ain't she?
30:49Well, it's feet under the table by six, by ten o'clock.
30:52Well, look, the rest is history, son.
30:54You didn't think they'd bring any milk in with you, did you?
30:58You ain't listened to a word I've said, have you?
31:00No, not really.
31:02Hey, it was Vandals again last night, eh?
31:08I saw the paint job.
31:10Yeah, I nearly got them.
31:11Yeah?
31:12Yeah, instead all I got was red paint all over me blue suit.
31:15It's ruined.
31:16Yeah, well, what paint ain't on your suit, mate?
31:19It's on one of the walls.
31:20Slogans, like.
31:21Something about the British army getting out of Germany.
31:25Yeah, well, thinking about getting all myself.
31:28What you on about?
31:30Yeah, I'm sick of it to you.
31:32Nothing to do.
31:33Me mate's doing like us.
31:35You what?
31:36Well, they're all away, aren't they?
31:38Yeah, but you were arsed.
31:40You didn't want to go, did you?
31:41Well, what do I want?
31:42I want to go fishing, boy.
31:43OK, but you were arsed, weren't you?
31:45Look, it's the way that that ask that counts.
31:48What you on about us?
31:50Eh?
31:52What you talking about, son?
31:54Look, the fact that I was asked to go is not the point, is it?
31:56Isn't it?
31:57No, it's not the point at all.
31:58All right, then what is?
31:59What is, what is the point is,
32:01that they were not too keen on me going with them in the first place, were they?
32:04No, I made remarks about getting away from me and me feet.
32:08They didn't go away just to get away from your feet.
32:12Yeah, well, you stopped out all night, didn't you?
32:14Yeah, but I told you why, didn't I?
32:15If you'd listened.
32:17Yeah, well, I don't like it here.
32:19I don't like the Germans and they don't like me.
32:21And neither do the lads.
32:22Oh, son.
32:23Oh, look, man, I can tell, man, I can tell.
32:25I was getting at me.
32:27I was taking a piss.
32:29I mean, I thought I'd have a good laugh when we first came here.
32:33I thought that was the whole point.
32:35You know, have a few berries a bit, crack a bit laugh.
32:37I mean, without that, what's the point in being here?
32:40Now, now, they want to go out on trips and meet Germans
32:44and go to museums and, I mean, where's the fun in that, eh?
32:48Look, you have to stay us.
32:50I mean, you need the dough.
32:52Besides which, the lads won't let you go.
32:54Hey, hey, hey, listen, don't you say anything to lads, right?
32:57I'll just slip away.
33:00Nobody will know till I'm gone.
33:03Odds, you've got to stay, son.
33:06I mean, there's reasons what brought you here.
33:09More to do with finance and fun.
33:12You can't just desert, man.
33:15You've got to go the distance.
33:17I'll manage. I always have.
33:19Well, that ain't much of a story, is it, Emmons?
33:25There was this German girl.
33:27She lives in Hinesburg.
33:28It's near Munich.
33:30Oh, we got engaged at Christmas.
33:33I was going to stay in Germany.
33:35If I couldn't get a job, go back to the UK.
33:37Didn't last week.
33:39She breaks it off just like that.
33:41That's tough.
33:42It happens, though, doesn't it?
33:44And there's, erm, like, no possibility of a reconciliation, I suppose.
33:49It's finished.
33:51You should have told us this yesterday
33:53and then you wouldn't have had to keep in the field.
33:57Yeah.
33:58Look, thanks for the meal and everything.
34:00Much a price.
34:01Where are you headed, then?
34:05South. I'm going south.
34:07Erm, Geneva.
34:09I thought I might get a job there as a waiter or something like that.
34:12Hey, you could come back with us.
34:13Why not?
34:14Yeah, right.
34:15No, you'd have to shovel.
34:16No.
34:18No, I couldn't do your bloke sort of.
34:20Aye, aye, you could shovel for your labour.
34:26Could I?
34:27Yeah, of course you could.
34:28Couldn't he, Dan?
34:29Look, don't ask me.
34:31What's up with the lad?
34:32You ready for more?
34:33Yeah.
34:34You ready for more?
34:35Yeah.
34:36Yeah.
34:37Yeah.
34:38Yeah.
34:39It's all totally different over here.
34:40See, in Germany, us Briggies have to do it.
34:41Yeah.
34:42Yeah.
34:43Yeah.
34:44You ready for more?
34:45Yeah.
34:46Yeah.
34:47Yeah.
34:48It's all totally different over here.
34:49See, in Germany, us Briggies have to do our own labouring.
34:50Oh, aye, there's just one overall boss, Krunwald, and his sidekick all ripped.
34:51They're the only two you've got to watch out for, right?
34:52How'd you get one of the Germans?
34:53Far out of here.
34:54Yeah.
34:55You ready for more?
34:56Yeah.
34:57You ready for more?
34:58Yeah.
34:59Yeah.
35:00It's all totally different over here.
35:01See, in Germany, us Briggies have to do our own labouring.
35:02Oh, aye.
35:03There's just one overall boss, Krunwald, and his sidekick all ripped.
35:04They're the only two you've got to watch out for, right?
35:05How'd you get one of the Germans?
35:06Far out of here.
35:07They're just canny lads, mostly like the rest of us.
35:08Only smarter.
35:09Where'd you really smart.
35:10Where?
35:11You know, I'd better turn out.
35:12See, the Brits are really scruffy.
35:13They're wearing jeans and sneakers, that kind of thing.
35:14Oh, and they're never wearing black.
35:15They're different.
35:16They're different over here.
35:17See, in Germany us Briggies have to do our own labouring.
35:19Oh, aye.
35:20There's just one overall boss, Krunwald, and his sidekick all ripped.
35:22They're the only two you've got to watch out for, right?
35:24How'd you get one of the Germans?
35:25Far out of here.
35:26They're just canny lads, mostly like the rest of us.
35:27Only smarter.
35:28Where'd you be smarter?
35:29Where?
35:30I'd better turn out.
35:31See, the Brits are really scruffy. They wear jeans and sneakers, that kind of thing.
35:36Oh, and they never wear the hard hats.
35:38Now, the Erics, they're more military.
35:42Yeah, got more hold of them, will you?
35:48Hey, Ned, what do you call the Germans Erics for?
35:52Well, we want to talk about one of them in front of them, mate.
35:55We call them Eric, and that way the Germans think we're talking about some float world, Eric.
35:59It's good, isn't it? Yeah.
36:02Yeah, then there's a lot of Turks over here and all, a couple of Dutch.
36:07Turks mainly live in the hook next to ours.
36:11Some Greeks, but not many of them, mate.
36:14Colin?
36:16What's the matter?
36:26Colin?
36:28What do you think?
36:32Eh?
36:33The beard.
36:36Oh, yeah.
36:37Very fetching, Squire.
36:44Don't know if itch.
36:46That'd be worth it.
36:47Do you reckon?
36:48Yeah.
36:49Give your boat race some definition, wouldn't it?
36:52Eh?
36:53Compensate for your lack of bone structure.
36:55Create the impression of an enigmatic persona.
36:58Enigmatic?
36:59Yeah.
37:00Also covers up your acne.
37:03Well, you do have spots, don't you?
37:05Oh.
37:06You know?
37:07I mean, your complexion ain't exactly your best feature, is it?
37:09These spots are just temporary, though.
37:11No.
37:12You know, it's the changing water that's doing it.
37:14Shaving in different water, like.
37:16Eh?
37:17Well, look.
37:18Now you ain't shaving, right, they'll disappear, won't they?
37:21Huh?
37:22Only no-one'll notice.
37:23Cause you ain't shaving.
37:25Pity.
37:31Here's a bottle.
37:32No.
37:34You all right, Oz?
37:38What do you mean?
37:40Nothing.
37:41Just asking if you're all right.
37:42You haven't, er, said anything, have you?
37:44Of course not.
37:45I was just asking, right?
37:46No.
37:49What's up with him?
37:50Nothing.
37:51You ain't a bit uptight, ain't he?
37:52Just forget it, right?
37:54All right.
37:55No skin off my nose.
38:02Be it close.
38:03Oh.
38:06Missed you at the weekend, Oz?
38:07Ah, I'll bet.
38:09Oh, seriously?
38:10What a good laugh you are, mate.
38:12Oh, well, that's not what everybody thinks, is it?
38:21Hey, Ted?
38:22Huh?
38:24This really strange thing just happened.
38:26What Oz has shook hands with a German?
38:28No, man, seriously.
38:29What?
38:30You know, I've been working with that Colin lad.
38:32Yeah.
38:33Well, these two policemen just turned up with Ulrich.
38:35I don't know, probably about the vandalism.
38:37Anyway, when Colin's seen them, he turned white as a sheet, did a runner.
38:40What?
38:41Aye.
38:42He's gone.
38:43Vanished.
38:44I've searched the whole site.
38:45There's no sign of him.
38:46Have the police gone after him?
38:47No, man.
38:48Look, see, the coppers were here about the break-ins, right?
38:51Yeah.
38:52Yeah.
38:53I guess he thought they were after him.
38:54Colin did.
38:55Oh, I see.
38:56Aye, he didn't seem too sure of his story, did he?
38:59Right?
39:00Aye.
39:01Oh, I don't know, though.
39:02He seems such a cunning lad, but...
39:04I can't imagine him in trouble with the law.
39:06You can't tell these days, man.
39:08No, I'll tell you what, we'll just get back to work, right?
39:11If he shows up, we'll have it out with him, right?
39:14I hope you've worked things out, Oz.
39:17No, I'm your means, mate, up with him.
39:19Look, in a situation like ours, everyone living on top of each other,
39:22there's bound to be problems.
39:24People fall out, friendships change,
39:26got on each other's tits.
39:29It's like being in the army, living in that hut, you know?
39:32All things considered, we're not doing too bad, are we?
39:35Well, I came out here with Dennis and Neville,
39:37but I just don't think I'm in hurts anymore.
39:40Ah, come on, man.
39:41They missed you at the weekend.
39:42I was very...
39:43How was this a lot, bloke?
39:45Colin?
39:46There's no problem, man.
39:48I mean, we are the man anyhow.
39:49No, but nevertheless.
39:50Nevertheless what?
39:51You're an exasperating geezer, you are Oz.
39:55I mean, I can't work you out.
39:57I really can't work you out.
39:59Well, nobody's asking you to try.
40:01Hey, Nev.
40:02Any sign of Colin?
40:05Hey, he's not running from the law.
40:07What's that you're from?
40:08He's in the army.
40:09Look.
40:10Latham Colin.
40:11Lance Corporal.
40:12Right?
40:13Born June the 14th, 1960.
40:14Eight, five foot eight.
40:15Eyes brown.
40:16Other distinguishing marks.
40:17Scar on left shoulder.
40:18It's a friggin' deserter, isn't he?
40:19She was lovely.
40:20I mean, she was great.
40:21Yeah, but I couldn't understand what she was saying.
40:22That's in trouble, isn't it?
40:23Well, there you go.
40:24Hang on a minute.
40:25Just going for a leaf.
40:26Oh, all right.
40:27Hey, Moxie.
40:28Moxie.
40:29What is it?
40:30I'm a corporal.
40:31I'm a corporal, right?
40:32Born June the 14th, 1960.
40:33Eight, five foot eight.
40:34Eyes brown.
40:35Other distinguishing marks.
40:36Scar on left shoulder.
40:37It's a friggin' deserter, isn't he?
40:38She was lovely.
40:39I mean, she was saying...
40:40She was great.
40:41Yeah, but I couldn't understand what she was saying.
40:42That's in trouble, innit?
40:43Well, there you go.
40:44Hang on a minute.
40:45Just going for a leaf.
40:46Oh, all right.
40:53Hey, Moxie.
40:54Moxie.
40:55What is it?
40:56Oh, sorry.
40:57Somebody went into those storage huts over there.
41:01So what?
41:04Hey, it could have been...
41:05Those kids or somebody's been messing around, couldn't they?
41:10You sure?
41:11I'm positive.
41:12Somebody went into one of those bloody cabins.
41:15Okay.
41:16Let's get them.
41:18What?
41:19I'll get the lads first, eh?
41:20Right.
41:25Oh, eight Mondays.
41:26No money.
41:28All week ahead of us.
41:33Where'd you get them?
41:35Brendan made them for us.
41:37Oh!
41:41Quick!
41:42I think the woolly vandals are back!
41:43What?
41:44Eh?
41:45I think the vandals are back!
41:46Where?
41:47I don't want to bully cabins!
41:48Oh, you don't!
41:49I just want them to leave me.
41:50I'll punch them!
41:51All right, leave them!
41:52Leave them!
41:53What can they make?
41:54The bloody bag of cement!
41:55That's not a plane, is it?
41:56I've got a score to settle these.
41:57Oh, come on!
41:58Come on in!
41:59Come on in!
42:00Come on in!
42:01Come on in!
42:02Come on in!
42:03Come on in!
42:04Come on in!
42:05Come on in!
42:06Are you here?
42:07Are you here?
42:08Are you here?
42:09Get your voices down!
42:11Where?
42:12What's happening?
42:13Any sort of anything.
42:14There's definitely somebody over there.
42:16You're right.
42:17I know.
42:18Just where, mate?
42:19Listen, just keep your voices down, okay?
42:21Barry, Moxie.
42:22You go left.
42:23Right.
42:24Right.
42:25Come on.
42:26Never go around this side along the drainage channel, okay?
42:29All right.
42:30Just go straight on.
42:32He feels like a commando, don't you?
42:34Not really.
42:35I've still got me slippers on.
42:38Why don't you just bang a snare drum, eh?
42:41Bloody hell!
42:42There's nine of a fuss of water in here!
42:55Nobody's made a run for it.
42:56Which camera than this one?
42:57This one?
42:58This one.
42:59You sure?
43:00Positive.
43:01All right.
43:02We know you're in there, so come on, let's have you.
43:04Look, there's more of us than you.
43:05So just come out now and nobody will get hurt.
43:06Right?
43:07Much help if you say it's in German, Dennis.
43:08Come on, man.
43:09Let's just get in there, man.
43:10Get stuck in it.
43:11Hey!
43:12Hey!
43:13Hey!
43:14Hey!
43:15Hey!
43:16Hey!
43:17Hey!
43:18Hey!
43:19Hey!
