08:57Nobody you believe in.
08:59Nobody you can see.
09:11We got some bad news I'm afraid.
09:16Now what?
09:17It's all of District 7.
09:19I've been down the return.
09:19It's blocked off.
09:21If they don't find a bolt hole, I'm afraid they've had it.
09:24It's marvellous, isn't it?
09:30It's gonna be a real bloody picnic.
09:33Oh look, Mr Jenkins, I'd better come up another word to do myself.
09:37Aye, well Georgie Breath has just come down from the return with some more news.
09:41Aye, right off.
10:01Where are you going?
10:08Here's where Eli, I'm going to come out of here.
10:09We'll be doing December 9th October, so that I'm cleaning advice a lot from our surroundings,
10:10Who bent up?
10:16How you staying?
10:18Good to be here with each other.
10:22There are two awes!
10:25I have no соверш enamorables, didn't make me 모양, who broke my hand,か why do you
10:25in front of each other.
10:26Thanks for such an hour, you're going to stop all theiskers first.
10:30Check out your sane arriving.
10:49Sigh a little, Eric.
10:51Aye.
10:54Well,
10:56nothing we can do, we can't clear it by ourselves.
11:00Nowhere to pack it away.
11:03Best to sit tight.
11:17Will we get out, Mr. Morgans?
11:18Of course, we'll get out, Tommy Bach.
11:21But there's nothing we can do yet.
11:23Spot like this, best thing is to do nothing.
11:29Just sit tight and whistle.
11:31What's all?
11:33You've got to be got out.
11:35We can't do nothing ourselves.
11:38If I was you, I'd curl up with her now and have a little sleep.
11:41We'll wake you up when the milkman comes.
11:43Go on now, Tommy.
11:44What time did you go to bed last night?
11:46Nine o'clock.
11:48Oh, man, it's terrible for getting us to bed early.
11:51Well, you're going to be in bed later tonight.
11:53So you might just have a little sleep.
11:55Yeah.
11:56Take my jacket.
11:57Use it as a pillow, though.
11:57Come on now.
11:59There.
12:00All the bosses won't say nothing about it at a time like this.
12:04I might as well tell him now.
12:06What?
12:08Might as well tell him the truth.
12:10You'll get out.
12:12With the road blocked, there's no air getting in here, man.
12:15Of course there's air getting in here.
12:16Only what was down here.
12:18There's no new air.
12:19Dry up, will you?
12:20You'll frighten the kid.
12:31No use looking at that.
12:32It's all loose.
12:34There's a gap at the top, but I don't want to disturb that.
12:38The whole roof must be down on the other side.
12:41Aye.
12:42Well, it's a waiting job, then.
12:44That's what I said.
12:45Sit tight.
12:48Ah, they'll have the drawings out now.
12:50When it's all settled, we'll hear them coming for us.
12:53Ah, well.
12:55Home is where you find it, isn't it?
13:12Here she is, then.
13:14Oh, good.
13:14Oh, you've got a scrap move.
13:16Aye.
13:20Hey, how many stretches you got there, then?
13:22Two.
13:23Two?
13:23Not very cheerful, are you?
13:25Stick them down over there and get another two sharp.
13:36I thought it was a goner out there.
13:39Why didn't you run when I showed it?
13:40What's the point?
13:41What do you mean, what's the point?
13:42If you haven't got air, you might as well be out there as in the air, then.
13:46Ah, fall asleep.
13:51Funny what I was saying just now about
13:53a pit of her spirit, isn't it?
13:56A fall is usually one way,
13:58and you can go back from it.
14:01But here is both ways.
14:04It's just as if she's pushed us into a cul-de-sac.
14:07What do you mean, she?
14:10Rats go to sleep when they're trapped.
14:12The moment they're threatened,
14:14there's no good fighting.
14:16It's nature telling them, see?
14:16Well, I'll tell you something, boy.
14:19And if I was you, I'd look for it hard.
14:20Now, what's that, then?
14:22Furnished accommodation elsewhere,
14:23now go to sleep, will you?
14:28Spirit bedouled.
14:32Don't you tell me he's not a spirit.
14:35I know he's a spirit, boy.
14:37Yeah.
15:28Even the bloody stones are sweating.
15:36I don't know how you feel yesterday, but I would like if you don't mind, I would like to offer
15:43up a prayer, just an offering in my own way.
15:50Certainly Daniels, boy. You do what you want.
16:01Tommy, sit up, Tommy. We're going to have a prayer.
16:09It's getting much hotter, Mr. Daniels. I don't think there's much air getting in. Nothing he knew, eh?
16:16Ah, go on with you.
16:18What he said was right.
16:20Close your eyes now. And if we all put our hands together.
16:29Ready, huh?
16:30Ready, huh?
16:33Hands together.
16:40Well, perhaps you should do what you want to. But I will kneel like I do every Sunday. I couldn't
16:51do it any other way.
17:00Defiled in heaven, we ask thee to be our guided strength, as thou wast the guided strength of the Israelites
17:09in the wilderness, and of Daniel in the flaming fire.
17:16Where are thy hands, O Lord? And need thy comfort, which even thy beloved son did not have upon the
17:23cross.
17:23I can't breathe. I can't breathe, Mr. Daniels. It's getting hotter and hotter. I can't breathe.
17:30It's gas, isn't it? It's gas, and you're not telling me.
17:33Which art in heaven.
17:35Hallowed in the name.
17:37Thy kingdom come.
17:39Thy kingdom come.
17:40I will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
17:49And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil, for who never. Amen.
18:01Back here, don't leave me!
18:08Come back again!
18:17You could have brought the bloody lot down!
18:23Bill!
18:26Bill!
18:27Bill!
18:30Ah, I never left nobody down here.
18:36Tommy, come here.
18:40I've got a job for you.
18:44I'm too heavy to go up there.
18:49Well?
18:51You're a collier, aren't you?
18:53Not a squealer?
18:57Well, what is it, boy?
19:00Collier or squealer?
19:05Collier, Mr. Morgans.
19:07Not a boy, Tom.
19:09I want you to go up there as late as a fella and peep over the top.
19:15Well?
19:22I'll have a go, Mr. Morgans.
19:25Off you go, then.
19:36Well, no.
19:37Let him know!
19:40Careful!
19:49Take the lamp first.
19:56He's just over the top.
20:00The whole roof's in.
20:02Never mind him with the roof, Tommy.
20:04Can you pull him towards you?
20:15He's too heavy.
20:30You, you lay against it.
20:36I'll get up on your shoulders.
20:43Steady.
20:58Give me a grip of his hand, Tommy, can you?
21:04Now, catch hold of this lamp.
21:07This on the other hand.
21:08Ow!
21:11Ow.
21:15Huh?
21:16How do you stop?
21:29Then.
21:29Then.
21:34If you have a grip of your hand, come.
21:34Then.
21:34Then.
21:35Then.
21:37Then.
21:40God.
21:40Very nice.
22:08So, let's go.
22:15I always knew he was Tup, him, his goddess, Tork, a man that blabs like that brings things
22:36on himself and on others.
22:53You'll make it real good on Tommy, a proper call, yeah?
22:58Yeah.
22:59Yeah.
23:00Yeah.
23:03Yeah.
23:16Yeah.
23:18Yeah.
23:19Yeah.
23:22Yeah.
23:24Yeah.
23:33Yeah.
