Is not this song ever ending?
It's Beethoven.
Is dead.
I'm glad.
You have a pencil?
There is something they hate, more than a bad business.
- What? - Good music.
The kings of the industry have come.
Yes, it's a good school: Three Kings.
Steel...
planes...
and weapons.
And a queen: Oil.
Mr. Greifer looks like a cat...
stealing milk. With what will you be dreaming?
With better bombs, inspired by Beethoven.
- Or machine guns. - No, no, that's Mozart.
How ingenious!
Mr. McAllan would not understand you.
He is a mechanic.
You do not like her, do you?
I like human beings.
Is it inhumane to do things?
So boring things... Tunnels.
Do not idealize him.
McAllan is a kind of mole.
He only knows how to live underground.
Also, look at what clothes he wears.
I was looking at his eyes.
They will be glad that it is over.
What has this been?
After listening to Beethoven, they will listen to anything.
Your father knows how to overcome commercial resistance.
Of course.
If you know what dollars are...
come by and we'll talk about them.
Or do you prefer a little more music?
My driver plays the concertina.
Good luck honey.
I do not know how to explain things.
They will listen to you.
The millionaires never listen.
Anyway...
Hey, Mac,
Do not give figures
- ? Why? - They do not understand them.
Talk to them like kids and...
Take care of Ruth.
They will have been surprised to hear Beethoven...
but I have an even bigger surprise.
The orchestra has been, a kind of appetizer.
And quite expensive.
But do not worry, we will recover that money.
Close the door, honey.
And Mr. McAllan, inventor of Allante Steel...
Channel Tunnel Builder...
and the Bahamas-Miami tunnel...
will tell us how to get it.
Mostyn, I would like you to sit down.
They will wonder why I have made them come.
I wanted you to know...
Mr. McAllan...
that you want to propose something to them.
He is the man who built...
the Channel Tunnel.
But before he speaks...
I want to make two things very clear.
First, I'm as sane as you are.
Second, Mr. McAllan is much saner.
Go ahead, Mac.
I'm just an engineer proposing a work.
It may seem fantastic, but I know it can be done.
It's about building a transatlantic tunnel...
from England to America.
There will be problems, of course.
Many we know them.
It is likely that others will arise.
But I will try to explain the idea.
It is possible because Allante steel...
it's not porous...
not even under tremendous pressure.
And thanks to the Robbins radio drill.
Ruth, come here for a moment.
I want to tell you something.
- There were once three bears... - Robbie, you're stupid!
There was a big bear, a medium bear...
- What are you smoking? - Esparto.
And a little teddy bear.
Do not worry.
- They seemed so hard! - Yes, hard as stones.
I hate waiting.
When your son was born, we waited fourteen hours.
They seemed more to me.
By compensating the pressure.
Considering the depth of the sea...
and the seabed...
England and America.
A tunnel.
Like this.
Maybe they prefer to express their enthusiasm...
in the absence of Mr. McAllan.
Do not applaud everyone.
- What? - What did they say?
They are talking now.
Will they let you build it?
- At my expense. - You have not been interested?
They almost fall asleep.
Do not worry.
They can not stop you.
Money.
You will get it.
- Do you believe? - The world needs the tunnel.
It seems something heroic.
And is not it?
You've always done things to make the world better.
And thinking that you did it for you.
- Mr. Greifer? - It's an excellent idea.
When they build their tunnel...
the other countries will try to destroy it.
"Ten millionaires so happy."
"One wanted the tunnel and there were 9."
Very funny.
The Miami tunnel gives money.
And this one will give it!
Governments will back it, it's employment.
Useless employment!
It's the one they prefer. Save problems.
If it ends...
- How will it end? - I said "yes."
It will give a lot of money.
Leave the Atlantic. Theirs is oil.
- It's crazy. - Not as much as...
Mr. Lloyd and I subscribed a third of the shares.
What?
Messrs. Lloyd and Mostyn...
subscribe a third of the tunnel's shares.
If you are interested, me too.
- Do not try to stop me. - I try to participate.
Let's ruin everyone!
If my experts approve it.
- It will not be ruined. - Of course.
Mr. Greifer...
The tunnel means peace. You negotiate with the war.
What does it say?
Armamento Internacional buys three million shares.
Thank you, Mr. Greifer.
The public will buy the remaining shares.
Tell it to McAllen.
Very good.
I will go.
Good.
First stop, Europe!
Will you let me continue?
You were right. They listened to me.
And I thought not!
What happens? You will not regret.
I don't know.
Now that we have achieved it, I am afraid.
Why?
Is so big!
Is not it too much for us?
Do not worry.
The International Broadcaster speaking to the world.
Broadcast for English speaking countries.
Today is the third anniversary...
of the beginning of the transatlantic tunnel.
We will celebrate the anniversary...
offering to the peoples of both countries...
chance to see the progress...
made in this colossal engineering company.
For three years, armies of men...
they have made their way from both sides of the Atlantic.
This is the last completed section of the English coast.
You will remember that the main factor...
that has allowed this company...
has been the invention of the radio drill...
by Frederick Robbins.
The improvements introduced...
have allowed the works to progress...
at an unthinkable speed.
The genius that is behind this tremendous effort...
is known to everyone.
Mr. McAllen...
whose enormous faith and untiring energy...
they have been the stimulus of thousands of workers.
They have read about him, they have heard about him.
Now they will see you and hear you speak.
Mr. Richard McAllen.
The transatlantic tunnel is the largest industry in the world.
Down on the Atlantic bed...
men work day and night.
From both sides of the Atlantic...
men come closer and closer.
Someday you will find yourself in the depths...
and this great project will come true.
And Jim Burton...
and his American team, I want to tell you:
Let's go there!
Okay, Mac!
Come on, guys, to work!
To work!
Come on guys!
We have an appointment in America.
- How's the family? - Both are fine.
Congratulations.
This is going!
How it works.
We have an appointment in America.
- Is that machine okay? - Like silk, sir.
It's your son's birthday.
- It looks like yours. - Why?
More than newborn.
Do not be late.
- We arrived late. - Let's not delay anymore.
- Harriman! - Hello.
- I want to talk to you. - Of what?
Of tunnels, I think.
They interest him.
Tell me, Mr. McAllen.
What gave you the idea of the tunnels?
The rabbits.
Those radio calipers...
You're married to Ruth, not a radio caller.
Distract it until I arrive.
My wit begins to fog.
Give him soap!
Come on.
- Hears! - What happens now?
Take the big package.
It is your gift for your son.
Look, you're a retailer.
You think of everything.
Luckily for you.
- Where is dad? - Will not take long.
Do not you know what my birthday is?
Of course.
Is always late.
You can not throw him out, poor dad.
Why, is it that he cares?
Sure, but he's very busy.
Door F ready for the test.
I try everything once.
- Listen? - Everything ready, sir.
Ahead.
Everything clear!
All clear.
Test the emergency door F, perfect.
Perfect test.
I hope you do not have to use it!
Good job.
Thank my Lord.
Hello, golfillo.
Congratulations.
Mom had to have married you.
It's a shame.
- He's talking to Harriman. - Of what?
Of calibrators.
Those of vibration or those of oscillation?
Caramba!
- Who told you that? - Dad.
You should direct the tunnel.
I will direct it, when I am older.
It's your son's birthday!
I will introduce you to him and his mother.
They say they are both charming.
Mr. Lloyd from New York. He says it's urgent.
Come on, we'll see each other at home.
There were once three bears...
That is very old!
Yes, Robbie... that's very old.
Come on, it's my birthday!
Come on... it will be a great birthday.
Go brazen to have him waiting.
Listen?
Get me Mr. Lloyd.
- Hello. - What's wrong, Mr. Lloyd?
I want you to come immediately.
- For what? - I'll tell you.
Tell me or do without me.
Come or ignore us.
What does it mean?
You are an employee of this company.
Find out - I do not get it.
An employee of a company...
of which I am a shareholder.
Now I can not go, it's impossible.
Well, you can leave the works.
What does it mean?
Do you want to know? Well, come to New York.
Leave it to me.
Treat him carefully. It is essential.
Listen?
It's fantastic, right?
It is wonderful. I will put another cylinder.
- Let me do it! - Not me!
After all, it's yours.
The gentleman calls on the television.
From the tunnel?
No ma'am. From your plane.
From your plane?
- Pass it to the bedroom. - Yes ma'am.
Do not you think...?
Something will have happened. No, it would be lost...
For real?
- I'm sorry but... - You're not coming?
I can not. Tell Geoffrey...
It's his birthday!
I'm sorry but...
He will not miss me.
- What about me? - What do you mean?
And my disappointment?
It is an urgent matter. The tunnel...
Always the tunnel.
Be reasonable.
Is not it reasonable for you to be on your child's birthday?
The tunnel is my job.
And I'm married to him?
Try to understand.
Have you tried not to disappoint Geoffrey?
I am sorry. The tunnel comes first.
I did not want to miss it. But this is important!
He will have more birthdays.
Clear. What are you going to do?
We will have a wonderful time with Robbie.
Great, I'm glad.
Listen!
Listen! It has been cut.
Operator!
Hi.
Where is Ruth?
With Geoffrey. What happens?
Something is happening in New York, I'll tell you about it.
Take care of Ruth and Geoffrey, do you mind?
I will be like a broody hen.
You are a great guy. It will bring you... a boulder.
I will eat it.
If I knew what to do...
You can not do anything.
If I can.
But I have lost the manual.
I'm silly for crying.
A party passed by water.
- I do not know what I would do without you. - You do not know what to do with me.
I should have married you.
Quiet.
You have the best.
I do not have it.
Of course, you'll see.
And my party?
We will celebrate it now, and it will be a beautiful celebration.
Of which one always remembers.
Mom will wear a paper hat.
Why?
I do not know, they are things that happen.
Hello everyone.
I speak from Mr. Lloyd's residence.
It's a great night And here it comes!
The McAllen plane!
Well let's see...
Yes, you are very pretty.
And you very angry.
- It's okay like that? - Very good.
I never get angry.
No human emotion. It's okay like that?
I have not heard you complain about the arrival of McAllen.
Remember everything about McAllen, right?
I have the honor of presenting you on the air...
the man who has made a dream come true...
the creator of the transatlantic tunnel...
Richard McAllen.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Little can I tell you that you have not heard already.
I seem inhuman.
You are not?
At least, I'm not married.
It does not surprise me.
If it were, you might like it as much as he does.
I doubt it.
Neither marriage would ease your infinite monotony.
- I'm in love with you. - Thank you.
You can not possibly want McAllen.
Dreamers have a certain charm...
even if they dream of iron and steel...
- You want it? - Yes.
There is still a huge amount of work to be done.
If you'll excuse me, I'll do mine.
But would not you like to tell your personal experiences?
Tell us, what did you notice? When opening the tunnel?
Rats.
- Thank you, Mr. McAllen. - Just a moment.
- What are you doing at night? - Go to sleep.
Does the tunnel kill one man per minute?
What is its effect on the political situation?
Ask me 50 years from now.
- Come on! - Make a statement.
I will give you an exclusive data.
So far we have finished the sections of the tunnel...
until section H.
And there is something that the tunnel has in common with everyone.
It is hollow.
- Hi, Mac. What's up? - How is it going?
- This is what I came for? - Yes, and you will like it.
I can not stand cheap advertising.
You do not decide We control the actions.
- It's a personal matter. - He's not a simple employee.
- Excuse me? - Clear.
Ahead.
- I'm here. - I see that.
- Does Mostyn find it useful? - Clear.
Forget advertising or you will lose suddenly.
- It was not his idea. - He says yes.
It was Varia's idea. Sit down.
Do you know why he has come?
- To be interviewed, no. - That's wrong.
Down there, he does not realize that there is a global crisis.
People lose faith in the tunnel...
, that influences everything else.
For the people, you are the tunnel.
I have to put it on the front page.
Over my dead body.
That would be front page, but it would not last.
He has to move, make speeches...
take photos with the President of the USA...
And the tunnel is built alone?
It can not be built without money.
You expect me to get it.
But people must believe in the tunnel.
They believe in you It is a romantic figure.
If we put it on the front page...
they will regain confidence and the money will arrive.
Agree.
If you want a puppet, bring your photographers.
I waited... Nobody will look at a picture of you...
without a beautiful woman who gives him charm.
Varia would give charm to an Egyptian mummy.
Thanks, Dad.
THE BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER OF LLOYD RECEIVES THE KING OF THE TUNNEL.
PERFORATOR BECOMES CONQUERATOR
Mr. Robbins.
Good Morning.
You need fresh air.
I need to eat.
Fresh air is better. And you can smoke your pipe.
I do not want to smoke, I want this grapefruit.
- And my pipe does not ruin you. - Today I like everything of yours.
Also, I want to leave.
I need to breathe.
I see.
- Fresh air. - So cool that it hurts.
Please be happy.
- I'm very unhappy. - Well, let's eat.
- Eat Drink... - You'll be happy.
You are the most tender man in the world.
That's what I think.
I used to have Geoffrey, but now he's at school.
I do not want to be a burden for Mac...
but I'm very lonely.
When he comes home his mind is in the tunnel.
I lost him, Robbie.
I'm not jealous...
but sometimes I wonder...
He has never looked at another.
- Insurance? - Do not be silly.
I want you to do something for me.
Of course?
Get to work.
- To work? - Know what it is?
The caprice of the rich, the curse of the poor.
Something worthwhile.
Like the tunnel for Mac.
If he worked in the tunnel, maybe he would not hate it that much.
You know why I came.
We know why the actions of the tunnel have fallen.
Do not tell me.
You have sold them.
Do not tell me.
Why?
Because I trust Mr. McAllan.
What the hell are you talking about?
Do you trust? In Mr. McAllan?
- As an engineer. - As an engineer, yes.
So I thought.
Now listen. Do not want to sit down?
The tunnel will succeed.
But people do not trust him.
They sell shares at any price.
And by selling mine, I confirm your fears.
When they go down to the minimum, I'll buy them again.
Included, I hope...
those of my friend Lloyd.
Then we will control the company.
You will control it...
I'm afraid I will not have time.
I was hoping to find a competent President.
If you contributed your actions...
it would be easier to find a President.
- What about McAllan? - He's a simple employee.
We will be the Company.
I'm with you.
BAD TUNNEL PARALYSIS OF THE RIGHT HAND
LOSS OF SIGHT
- Wash your hands. - I have not touched anything.
Better not risk it.
The gas that enters the tunnel affects the nervous system.
It's contagious?
We take precautions, but the people who work here...
- The nurses... - Clear.
- How long is the paralysis? - We still have no cure.
I think it will end up disappearing.
But it is unlikely. We have a case of sight.
Almost certainly, he will be blind.
He has fainted!
- How is he here? - He volunteered.
He must know the danger. McAllan would never allow it.
That's why I did not tell him.
I'm fine.
Of course.
We will take her home. It will be better there.
I have to return.
My eyes...
Are you sure nothing happens to them?
Of course not.
A little rest, a treatment...
and it will be the same again.
He has worked too much.
- Thank you Doctor. - Quiet.
Rest, and do not get upset.
- What? - It's very good.
Come on.
- What happen? - She is very sick.
The evil of the tunnel... Do not tell her.
Your husband should know.
- Naturally. - Goodbye.
Mr. Robbins!
It's all right with nonsense.
How do you scare us like that?
Do not pretend, Robbie.
I know what happens to me.
You answer.
- Say? - Hi, Robbie.
Hello Mac.
Was it Ruth?
- No, where are you? - Returning home.
I'll be there in three hours.
Where is?
I do not know.
What happens? Nothing will happen.
- And where is? - Not here.
Is it that he is not at home?
- Insurance? - Of course.
Well bye.
Why do you make me say that?
I will not be here when I return.
What are you talking about?
I'm leaving and I'm taking Geoffrey.
Are you crazy?
- I would be if I stayed. - Why?
For this.
Mac will not mind. He loves you.
He will love you more than ever. That is pride.
You know that's not true.
You have to help me! Lie to him, tell him anything!
I only beg you not to tell him the truth!
It is impossible, for you and me.
For him and for me!
Robbie, you must do it!
How? I see him every day.
For three years he has not known that I exist.
He stopped needing me when the tunnel took hold of him.
Then I had something to offer him.
I gave him a home, a son.
- I wanted him. - You still love him.
Yes, I still love you.
But does he want me?
I will not allow him to continue by my side out of compassion!
He is not alone anymore.
Vartha Lloyd! That does not mean anything!
How can I know that?
Robbie, do nothing but give you problems!
Do not worry. But how do I tell it?
You must do it!
I have no one else!
Well, the shares have gone up...
and we have money. We can continue.
Where is Ruth?
What happens?
On the plane, I...
It's a joke?
So what is it?
Ruth is gone.
- Where? - I do not know.
You do not know?
Ruth has left you, she will not come back.
Will not return?
Why?
There will not be another...
Why do you think that?
And why not?
You have neglected it through the tunnel.
How often...
have you sent me to entertain her?
She's tired of me.
Now, you go to New York...
and they take pictures with Vartia Lloyd.
That was publicity, politics. You have told him...
I do... But... have you bothered?
You have let him think what he wants.
Now it leaves you, and you do not understand it!
Where is?
You're late.
Many years.
Section E, all right.
Mac!
I do not plan to continue!
You mean you leave the tunnel?
I can not continue working with you.
- Why? - Do not ask me.
Needless!
Ruth leaves me, and you leave.
Do you think I do not understand?
That's why?
Is there another reason?
Mac!
We have been friends for 20 years.
That ended.
But you will not go.
You will continue to the end, no matter what happens!
TRANSATLANTIC TUNNEL DEAD IN SERVICE ACT
Check up the drill.
The moving part has to slide smoothly.
- Mr. Robbins. - Hello, Mr. Burton.
- You had good trip? - Great, thanks.
- Do you want to sit down? - Come on guys.
We have the same problem that you have overcome.
Fissures.
I want to know how they have sealed them.
With the bodies of fifty men.
I closed the doors.
I condemned them with cement and perforated.
I wish I could forget it.
50 men to save thousands.
It was not his fault.
The tunnel has posed that dilemma for years.
Years.
Years of life of many men.
Billions of dollars.
The hopes of two countries buried in that hole.
We have to achieve it.
We will make it.
And when it's reality, everything will be worth it.
For tunnel users.
I do not know if for the builders.
McAllan will go down in history.
They will make statues of his.
And a statue is an image made in cold stone.
How is Mac, is he still such a bad poker player?
I do not know.
It's been a long time since we played. Several years.
What happen? He was his best friend.
The tunnel needs us, that's why we are together.
- We eat together? - I am sorry.
- I have to cross the Atlantic. - I must go down.
Good luck.
- We'll meet in the center. - We'll be there.
As soon as we can.
The transatlantic tunnel will soon be a fact.
None of us ignores what this company means.
With the completion of the tunnel...
we will have created...
not just a magnificent piece of engineering...
but something much bigger.
We will have created a vital artery...
between the peoples of England and America...
which will flow abundant trade...
that will lead to sharing mutual progress...
to a greater understanding of the problems.
An artery...
through which the life of our two countries will flow...
reaching the heart of Anglo-American friendship.
I tell them...
that the tunnel will be better than no treaty.
It will be the closest link...
that has united our two English-speaking countries.
The President of the United States.
I share the feelings of the Prime Minister.
It's more...
when this tunnel is finished...
the sums so far wasted...
in soldiers and ammunition...
will go to more peaceful causes.
The countries of the world will be able to reduce with security...
your armament to an unprecedented minimum.
- Hi, Mr. Robbins. - Hi, Geoffrey.
You do not stop growing.
- You're taller than your father. - I hope so.
He'll talk to mom this afternoon, right?
I can already work in the tunnel.
Do you know what you ask your mother?
Yes - For real?
It's great, you'll understand. Will you talk to her?
I will do what I can. Where is?
There is.
- Is not it precious? - Of course.
Oh, that one? Works?
- Of course. - Forgive me.
Cut some white roses.
Yes ma'am.
And these are red.
That is Robbie.
Also known as esparto. Hello Mary.
How is it going?
You should ask: How are you, Robbie?
Thanks, I'm fine, Mac, not so much.
Dodge the whole world.
He only talks about work.
With you, he will speak!
He does not talk to me anymore.
What's wrong, son? Courage, it's nothing.
Take him to the hospital.
What does he want?
- Men are fed up. - What's wrong?
It's section K. The temperature keeps rising.
I believe...
What do you think?
I think it's an underwater volcano.
Fuck!
That would mean diverting the tunnel.
Where is Robbie?
Mr. Robbins...
Does not matter.
Failure in section K! Inform control!
Control room! Emergency in section K!
We have to find a detour!
It is precise!
- We have to divert it. - How long will it take?
It depends on the extent of the volcanic zone.
Both tunnels are separated by a few kilometers.
With an active volcano emtre both.
It could extend hundreds of kilometers.
- It's possible. - Everything is possible.
Until you give us an approximate time...
and a budget, I will not invest more money.
Speaking for my partner and for me...
if Mr. Greifer leaves, we will too.
You can not leave the tunnel now!
It would flood in a month...
and they would lose all their money!
They can still save it. You must save it!
Give me three months and I swear I'll find out!
- Does my money guarantee me? - There are more important things.
We do not negotiate with them.
I'm so sorry Mr. McAllan.
Goodbye.
He has explained it to you.
Maybe it's not the crater, just a branch.
Sell the shares.
You will not abandon me now, will you?
It does not depend on me.
Only two shareholders count: Greifer and Mostyn.
Do you still believe in me?
That's why I supported him.
And I think that if it is possible, you are the man who will do it.
But I can not invest more.
Transatlantic Tunnel: 29.5.
I am so sorry.
I'm sorry, Mac.
If I could help you!
Money.
The tunnel has only brought you sadness.
Does not matter.
Me.
Thank you.
The tunnel.
It is destroying you, as it destroyed me.
What does it have to do with you?
It brought you to my life.
I could have made you very happy.
That's the way things are.
Well, Mac.
They have abandoned you.
- They made it difficult for you. - You said it.
If they let us build a few more kilometers...
I tried to convince them.
The Stock Exchange has closed...
- Dad... - Yes darling?
Chesapeake, 46.5.
- Why are you attacking him? - Because he has failed.
Transatlantic Tunnel, 29, 28 with 7.16.
It was not your fault! He has had bad luck!
The world only knows success and failure.
Luck does not count.
But it must count.
You can not leave him.
I have invested almost everything I have in the tunnel...
because it represents an ideal.
The world peace for the union of the anglophone countries.
It is the dream of my life.
Do you think I want to lose it?
Well, give him three more months. Put the money yourself.
- I do not have it. - Get it.
Do you find it easy? Get it.
I'm trying.
Please, father. Do it for me.
I have never denied you anything.
But it is no longer in my hand.
Who decides is Mostyn.
It had to be him.
Control the actions of the tunnel company.
In fact, this situation is his work.
How?
It flooded the market with tunnel actions.
When they hit bottom, he bought as many as he could.
Mostyn.
Tomorrow, all the shares will be for sale.
They will give them away.
- And the next day? - They will be all ours.
And so?
McAllan is right.
The volcano will delay the work about three months.
I would like to speak with Mr. Mostyn.
I was leaving.
Mr. Mortyn is lucky in everything.
- It is not like this? - Always.
Goodbye.
You could finance the works for three months, right?
- Yes, I could. - And why do not you do it?
Why lose more money?
But you could save the tunnel. It's not important?
It could ruin me.
That is much more important.
You want?
What do you propose?
You always get what you want, right?
Always.
Not always. You loved me.
You can always say no. What is it, the fifth time?
How much do you love me?
What do you mean?
In dollars.
I see. A deal.
I did not think you were so feminine.
I do not understand you.
You allow yourself the luxury of sacrificing yourself...
for the benefit of our friend McAllan.
And me?
Are you serious?
Do I tell Mac he can continue?
I'll tell him.
Just a moment.
If I could continue for 3 months, I would find a solution.
Who will put the money?
- I. - You!
Why not?
As a shareholder I do not want to lose what I have already put.
I thought it was against me.
I am sorry.
It's not important.
This is the tunnel station.
Mr. McAllan has returned to New York.
The conditions of section K have improved markedly.
There has been no gas in 24 hours.
There has been no gas, but hot air!
- I do not plan to continue! - There's no money left.
Many have already died.
Yes let's go.
I made what I could. You should talk to them.
Come, I have news!
Two things are needed to build the tunnel:
Money and value.
We ran out of money, but not the value.
We just want the opportunity to finish our work.
Speak for you!
I do not ask anything that I do not do.
You know that.
In that he is right.
All right. I have got the money.
I want to know who is coming with me.
Mr. Robbins and I are going down together.
Until returning.
But it will take a while to finish the tunnel alone.
- I go with you. - Thanks, Sandy.
And I also. Come on, Judd.
Come on, let's go.
I'm going too.
My friend...
we have known each other for a few years.
I'm happy to check...
that my trust in you was justified.
Sorry to interrupt, but I have troubling news.
The tunnel will continue experimentally...
during three months.
He will not ignore who has put the money.
And our agreement?
I am sorry.
Out of curiosity, why has he done it?
- Say? - It's Miss Lloyd.
I'll be with her in 10 minutes.
Well sir.
I get it. He always gets what he wants, right?
- Always. - Or accept what comes.
I'll take the risk. Did I take him?
- No good night. - Goodnight.
Just a moment.
I should change my mind.
A cigarette?
Thank you.
I will not change my mind.
I am sorry.
- Thank you. - I'm sorry too.
Goodnight.
Thank you.
I appreciate that you remain in your position.
Here there are more who think the same.
Now we will enter section K.
Talk to the tunnel.
Men will work if they know we are here.
It will convince them to know that their son works here.
My son?
Hello Dad.
Hello son.
Put on the masks.
Hey, control? Everything is going well.
Let the night shift down.
Section K is clear.
The trains wait to take you down.
The men are going down.
What does this mean?
He is your son. This is where it should be.
Who says it?
Ruth.
We only want men.
I know.
That's why I came.
Yes, you are almost a man.
I almost did not know you.
I've wanted to come for years.
- And your mother would not let you. - If that is.
But because he was very young.
I wanted you to use something...
that was not a burden.
I wish you had not come.
This is not very healthy.
I do not want it to be healthy.
I hope it is dangerous.
Why?
Being your son is a responsibility.
That's why I do not want an easy job.
They expect me to do dangerous things...
for being your son.
And I did them.
- You can stay. - For real?
You can go with the turn that is entering.
And when you go out, come and have dinner with me.
- We need to talk. - Great.
Come on, you still do not know what it is to work.
Take care of him. Goes on this turn.
Until tonight.
How are you, Frank?
Fine thanks.
Go for it.
- Is working. - All right.
Good idea.
What were you saying?
No, nothing.
Thank you.
- A lady has come. - Who?
Ms. Lloyd.
- Tell him what happens. - Yes ma'am.
Do you want to pass?
How is it going?
We met when the tunnel work began.
Of course.
- Do not you want to sit? - Thank you.
Can we talk alone?
Mary, serve tea.
We are already alone.
Did you want to talk to me?
He is very kind to receive me.
Why not?
I liked it very much when we met.
And you, I would have liked to know her better.
And not now?
I would be afraid to bother her.
Do not be afraid.
Why did you come?
Is my husband sending it?
- Why do you ask? - He sends it?
I'm glad.
It would not be his.
So, do you know why I came?
Thank you Mary.
Do you want to serve it?
Of course.
- Milk? - Thanks, no sugar.
No, I do not know why he has come.
But I suppose you want something from me.
I want him to divorce Mac.
I imagined.
Why?
- Does it matter? - It matters, and a lot.
I want him.
I also.
How can you say that?
He left her when he needed her most.
He deprived him of his home, of his son!
From your best friend! How could he do it?
With what right do you ask?
With all the world.
By destroying his life, he destroyed mine.
Do you know what these years have been...
always waiting...
deceiving me by believing that he would love me if it were not for you?
What would allow me to make you happy?
Dear!
How sorry I am for you!
It is not true.
She only feels sorry for herself.
I do not know how he can be so insensitive.
Do not see how he has suffered, how has he changed?
Is she blind?
Yes, completely.
Dear!
He does not know how I feel!
LEAK UP LAVA -DISTANCE 130m.
IN MY OPINION: VOLCANO.
The doors! Open the doors!
Emergency in section K!
- What happens? - A gas explosion!
Close the section!
How many men are there?
The shift is changing!
Now?
Close the section!
Have you seen my son?
Close the!
- But my son... - Close the section!
Here the English-speaking station broadcasting to the world.
With the greatest regret...
we announce a terrible disaster in the tunnel...
in which hundreds of lives have been lost.
The accident occurred in section K...
and that he needed to close the emergency doors...
to prevent it from affecting the rest of the tunnel...
what would have cost thousands of lives.
We can no longer continue to make illusions.
We can not ignore...
the consequences of this disaster.
The destruction of the transatlantic tunnel...
can mean...
the destruction of peace in the civilized world.
Too good we know...
that the Eastern Federation...
is waiting for an opportunity...
to attack the sovereignty of the Western Hemisphere.
This is your opportunity.
But we have our reach...
a powerful weapon.
That the people of the British Empire...
and the people of the USA...
fight shoulder to shoulder.
No power in the world...
will be able to defeat them.
The President of the United States.
Going deeper into the words of the Prime Minister...
such is our love of freedom...
that only a scream can arise...
from the heart of every American:
And that cry is:
We will remain united!
Our peoples share more than a common language...
and a common tradition.
We have a common legacy.
The first sacred legacy of History...
and that legacy...
is to preserve the eternal flame of progress.
To those who want to turn it off...
we say, in Lincoln's words:
"It will not disappear from the face of the earth."
And by the grace of God, to the glory of our peoples...
our civilization will not perish.
It's Mac.
Is Geoffrey with him?
I do not see. Is there someone...
Do not worry.
If something happened to Geoffrey...
I...
They are against you.
I must go next to him. You're good?
- I'm going down. - That's suicide!
- I have to know what happened. - But the volcano...
I want you to find me four volunteers.
I'll find three.
Four.
I go with you.
Bring them to me.
My son! Where is my son?
My son! My son!
My son!
Listen? Listen?
List of dead and missing.
Attentive? Ahead.
Simon Brown, dead.
Robert Turner, dead.
John Graham, missing.
Geoffrey Martin, dead.
- Who? - Geoffrey Martin, ma'am.
Richard Olsen, missing.
- Geoffrey McAllan... - I do not know, ma'am.
My son!
My son also...
John Addams, missing.
William Silwood, dead.
Is it you, Robbie?
Is Geoffrey okay? Tell me, is it okay?
Why do not you answer?
It is cruelty.
Who's there?
You will not be Geoffrey, right?
Who?
Young person under 20 years old. Unrecognizable.
- Out of here! - But Mr. McAllan...
Mac!
I get it.
You worked in the tunnel, right?
Why did you trust me?
Mac, is Geoffrey okay?
He suffered nothing.
For real.
It must have been very fast, with gas.
It's hard for both of you, right?
I loved it.
And he liked me.
I thought I was a kind of god.
And the god failed him.
He could not help you.
Comfort me if you can, honey.
I need it.
The temperature keeps rising.
I have the four volunteers who will return to the tunnel.
Well, bring them.
- You can not go! - It's precise.
I will not leave you, you are the only thing I have in the world.
I love you so!
Is it that your work will take over everything?
It has taken over everything.
They say I will recover my sight.
But who will return my son?
Ruth, honey...
Yes, it has taken over everything.
But if I could start over...
I would do it again.
Because you are...
I believe that my work will bring peace to the world.
Peace?
Say you believe in it.
If you believe in it, yes.
Say, go.
Kiss me and say go.
I want what you want.
I believe what you create.
I love you.
And I tell you to go.
You can not go through this heat.
We are hearing them!
Silence! Silence!
Hello, Mac!
Burton!
Hello, Mac!
Jim Burton.
Hello, Mac!
- How are you? - All right.
Have passed!
How much do you calculate?
About 15 meters.
I also.
We will drill if they are willing to take risks.
Ahead.
Very good! Come on guys!
Auger.
Explosive!
Hello, Europe!
Hello America!
Today is a great day.
Perhaps the biggest day for English-speaking countries.
The transatlantic tunnel is a fact.
In America...
the President of the United States inaugurates the tunnel.
Let's go to England now...
where a similar ceremony is being held.
