SEVEN GOLDEN MEN

Everything's accurate: We're above the seventh duct

and the height difference is as expected.

My watch indicates 10:35.

I confirm that the operation will be completed in one hour.

I await the coordinates. Over.

I'll communicate them shortly. Over.

Have you come to see your box, Ma'am? - Yes.

You must be patient, Ma'am. Access to the safe is prohibited

until the weekly inspection of the vault is terminated.

Marvelous!

You're right, Ma'am. It's one of the most modern in the world.

The only safe with an electronic and electromagnetic control lock.

As you can see, the gold reserves of our bank...

cannot be anywhere more secure than here.

Seven meters from the entrance, my love, as you predicted.

It's the most beautiful vault in the world.

And also the safest, as you heard. It's worthy of you!

Is the signal clear?

Darling, answer me.

I can't stay here anymore.

And the guard's making eyes at me.

Go get the passports.

We're going in, Professor.

I'm giving you the coordinates:

72 degrees west, 167 east.

Intersection of the north corner of the building.

Check the map and mark the position. Over.

Thank you, Professor. See you soon.

Your calculations are perfect as always, Professor.

The gas pipeline is parallel to the duct.

And it crosses the lower well with a vertical drop of four meters.

Roger, thank you.

Has all the material gone down? - Certainly, Professor.

We won't go down until two minutes ahead of schedule.

There's no rush. Work calmly. Over and out.

I watched you cross the street earlier.

I liked to imagine that under the coat you were almost naked.

Almost naked and only I knew.

Your workers realized it too.

Don't distract them. It's their "make-up exam."

After that attack on the London train.

It wasn't all their fault.

If they had followed my instructions to the letter,

we wouldn't be forced to work today.

And with 3 billion in England that, unfortunately, can't be spent in any way.

You're good, Albert.

Sometimes, I wonder what you would've done if you were born a saint.

I would've done my best to avoid you, my darling.

Are you so sure?

What wouldn't you do for a little gold?

This time, I'll finally have so much, I'll never have to wish for it ever again.

You could even buy me.

Here, these are the passports with the numbers changed.

All that matters is that the photos and original names are there.

If I were you, Professor, I'd stop being superstitious

with the number 7 and the "A" names.

What can I do if the best gang in Europe begins with "A" like me?

And then the police knows not one of them.

Adolf Kruger, Germany. Augusto Barreto, Portugal.

Alfred Bresson, France. Anthony Van Dyke, Ireland.

Aldo Rizzi, Italy. Alfonso Rodrigues, Spain.

And what else do you know?

Just the forged passports with the different names.

And that's what I can't explain.

And now, where are they? - Who knows?

A girl came to get the passports. - Who was she?

The person who forged the passports didn't ask for her ID.

What do you think they've come to do?

For a big hit, Captain. - What?

Yes, maybe even for today. Seeing how they urgently asked for the passports.

Tonight or tomorrow, they'll be out of Switzerland.

That's what you think. Kaufman,

phone the countries of origin of these gentlemen and tell me what you find.

Keller, make a thousand copies of their photos

and give them to every border post, police station and officer.

Have all the banks and jewelers in town patrolled.

OK, Chief. - Get to work!

We're diving, Professor!

Here!

Professor, we've placed the plastic.

Then go, Augusto.

We're closing off the water valve. Over.

What's your status?

Ready, Professor. In a minute, you can send the signal.

Whenever you want, Professor.

Tell me when, Aldo.

There it is.

Will you initiate Operation Silence, Professor?

Your turn, Giorgia.

Well done, Giorgia.

Your turn, Aldo.

The motor is at its maximum. Over.

Begin, boys.

Go on!

Aldo, what's your status?

I warn you that you're 47 seconds late on the operation of the phone lines.

Hurry up. Over. - It's already done, Professor.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? What's going on?

Do you hear me? What's going on, switchboard?

The line was interrupted. I can't hear anything anymore.

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hello? Hello?

Send this to Lloyds of London. - It's not working. - When you can.

As I was saying, the climate is great. And... - Excuse me.

Did you send the quotes to Lloyds of London?

The teleprinter isn't working, Sir, and the phones are down.

What's that noise? - From the street.

Call somebody to repair the phones. - Right away, Sir.

Look: This is Raiatea, the island I recommend.

Only an hour's flight from Tahiti but much more primitive. Take a look.

Are there hotels there?

Only one and it's very comfortable. It's hidden in a marvelous bay.

I can make a reservation even today. How many people?

Just myself. Set up the ticket and the itinerary.

I'm leaving in two days.

Pretelefonica Switzerland?

Of course, we'll send a technician right away to your area.

Yes, we know the address.

It's in our interest. Good day.

You may go, Augusto.

Please, do what you need to do. This way.

Through here.

Has it not been working for a long time? - Yes, several minutes.

Let's see what we can do.

Is this the correct position?

Yes, almost.

Orient it three centimeters to the right of the gate.

OK.

We're closing. We must leave. Will it be a long job?

No, just a few minutes. They just have to change a fuse.

But if you're closing...

I'll be back in an hour when the bank reopens.

Can I leave this here? - Certainly.

Be careful, this is a delicate device.

It costs an arm and a leg.

Or rather,

two eyes.

And the boss would make me work all my life to pay it back.

It's perfect like that.

How is it going down there?

It doesn't want to yield!

It's definitely thicker!

Drill harder!

Hurry, Professor! The police are forcing the hood.

Hurry up! The least noise can be heard in every neighborhood!

Just a moment!

Let's get to work!

Put back your masks. There's still a lot of gas.

Professor, can we continue?

Go forward. You have 45 minutes.

Keep your ears peeled for my orders.

Hey, Aldo,

Pass me the suitcase with the tubes. Quickly.

I'm coming.

Hello, my friend.

Give me a puff.

Everything OK?

It went perfectly.

Bye, spaghetti.

Bitch!

Hey, candy! You still up there?

You hear me?

You old goat!

Shut up, idiot!

Excuse me, are you a ventriloquist?

Mechanic. - I thought so.

Boorish Italian blabbermouth!

Of all the people, the professor had to pick you!

If you keep this up, everybody in Geneva...

will know what we're doing. Stop talking and do your job.

Everything's fine but it'd be better if the police left.

I don't like the looks of this.

Augusto!

Less talk and check the load!

Sure, Professor. Of course.

What's your status down there? - Everything in order, Professor.

We must shore it up. Over

Augusto, speed up the loading.

But we'll make noise and attract attention. - Don't you worry!

Who's worrying?

Augusto, the Portuguese.

He's worried about the police in front of the bank.

He's right, poor guy. He can't pretend to your English calm, don't you think?

Calm?

But not with you.

Adolf! Alfred! Stop! Don't move!

What's happening? - Don't move!

What's the matter?

Excuse me for insisting, but what's going on?

It's the guard.

Professor, we won't have time. The bank will reopen soon.

Shut up, Adolf!

Imbecile.

Get back to work!

Go on, boys. Full steam ahead.

The bank is yours. You have 35 minutes left.

Empty it.

Come on, Alessio, it's been on the table for a while.

Mama, there's something not right, Mama.

Aren't you feeling well, Alessio?

I'm fine but maybe it's better to call the police.

The police? What's happening? - Theft.

Theft? Who? - The captain!

The captain? - Quiet, quiet! Don't, Mommy.

Hello? Captain?

Listen, Captain, there's a theft here.

Where? Tell me where.

Place Bel Air?

Yes, right in my neighborhood, Captain. I'm radio amateur ZK9.

Tell me your name, not your handle. Hello? Hello?

Damn it, he hung up. Have him traced!

He's a radio amateur.

He said he picked up orders for a bank robbery in our city. His handle's ZK9.

Which bank? - He didn't know but in his neighborhood.

Where does he live? - If I knew I wouldn't have asked you to trace him!

Have all the banks in Place Bel Air checked one by one. Hurry up!

But they're closed now.

Hey, do you think this is the time to make all this noise?

We hafta be quick. - And who are you chasing?

City Hall.

I mean it's City Hall who told us to hurry.

I work for City Hall too. - Really?

Certainly and my orders are to keep the lunch hour silent.

So, what do we do? Come on, show me your permit.

I want to see with my own eyes what hours they wrote down.

What is this?

What is it?

Are you deaf?

Is that why this noise doesn't bother you?

City Hall chose you on purpose. Well...

Go get me your documents. - Yes, I'm going... Right away.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Hey! What's going on, Augusto?

Are you deaf?

Here it is. It says even during the lunch hour.

OK.

Continue.

Hey! Can one know what's going on with the gold down there?

I meant the "hold up"...

They're waiting... - What hold up?

Our fellow workers who are working on removing the gas sludge.

The pipes are old. They must be replaced.

A hell of a job!

Let me through and I'll lend you a hand.

No, it's already late. It'd be hard to get in.

Keep working! I was just joking!

What's your status? - Another 10 minutes for the safe.

13 minutes of air left in the oxygen tanks.

I can do it without leaving anything behind, Professor!

Where were we?

Our flight.

Ah, yes. After, we'll simply disappear.

Do you already know where?

I want it to be a surprise for you.

I'll tell you at the last moment.

Are you really sure they won't find us?

Never.

Police!

Excuse me, the local captain sent me.

We received a call recently. Yes.

There was a report made. A complaint from the cloister opposite.

In short, the Father Superior saw a lady walking around...

completely naked. Almost naked.

Well, a little undressed.

What I mean is... without articles of clothing.

It's my birthday today.

Happy birthday.

In my country, on birthdays, you kiss the first man who knocks on the door.

This year, it's you.

And if I go around naked at home, I'm not doing any wrong.

Explain that to the Father.

You see, I don't care much about these things, I'm a nudist.

I like that. A lot!

I mean I'm sorry for having bothered you.

You didn't bother me. Quite the contrary.

If you need anything, don't hesitate, Officer Troncher.

Claude Troncher, vice squad, emergency services.

I'll remember it, Claude. - See you soon.

That kiss was too long.

How much time is left?

Do you hear me? How much time's left?

They're empty! Now, we're finishing shoring up the gold.

We just need a minute, Professor.

Freeze. Don't make the least noise.

Stop, the police are coming!

Open it, please.

Nobody touched anything here.

I say again, it's impossible, Inspector.

Besides this ironclad vault, the bank has photoelectric sensors.

And an underground flooding system, we could use at any moment.

See that button? In case of an emergency, we just press it.

In 35 seconds, water will burst through the conduit,

flooding the tunnels that run beneath us.

As you see, Captain, our gold is more than safe. No need to worry.

No one will ever be able to enter this room.

We've made every effort,

for the sake of our prestige, for our account holders' interests.

You've convinced me.

Arrest that radio amateur. We'll teach him to play stupid tricks.

Adolf! Alfred!

You may resume. There are 5 minutes left in the tank.

Was that the last bank, Inspector? - I believe so.

And this device? What is it?

The phone technician must've left his box.

The phones went down since this morning.

I'm sorry I bothered you, Director, over nothing. - Not at all, Inspector.

Quick, Alfred! Quick! Quick!

The tube! The tube is buckling!

Quick! Hurry up!

Let's get away!

Watch out!

The suitcase! Get the suitcase!

I don't know. Come here!

Vamos, chicos! Hurry!

Help me, Alfred!

Help me!

Adolf? Alfred?

What's going on? Answer me!

Answer me!

Do you hear me?

What happened?

Answer me!

Don't worry, Professor. We've finished. Everything's fine.

There was a landslide in the mine while filling the bags.

It'd be a shame to leave this gift from God, Professor.

Your air is done! Hurry up! - There's enough to last for a month.

The air! It's running out!

It even went well this time, see?

Won't you respond?

Excuse me, Madame, can I help you?

I came to get something from my box.

I'll have you accompanied at once. Have you been a client for long?

Since yesterday. Just yesterday, I took this box for my jewelry.

I'm sorry, it wasn't me who received you yesterday.

However, I'm sure... - Excuse me.

If I may. - I knew I never met you before.

I've been running this bank for 5 years and I know all the clients by heart.

Jouet!

Open the gate for the lady.

Immediately, Director. - You'll probably be my last client.

Today, the General Management has accepted my resignation.

And tonight I'm leaving the bank and retiring abroad.

Nice. You must be happy.

Well, you see, after all these years...

What a strange coincidence! - What?

5 years ago when I left the credit bank in Zurich,

the last client was an elegant lady, and if I may, beautiful like you.

Anyway, thank you for choosing us. Our bank wishes you good luck.

Everything's fine, Professor. You can establish contact.

OK.

It's done.

I've handed it over, Sir. - Fine. You may go.

Professor, they're opening the gas! - Stop them! Quick!

Here was the damage. Who was having fun?

You think a cuckold? - A son of a cuckold!

Yes, but I don't like people knowing.

It's done, Professor.

The gas!

Professor! Professor!

That Portuguese idiot turned on the gas before schedule.

Don't worry. The Portuguese idiot has already closed it.

You can bring down our suitcases, Eduardo.

Our boys are punctual.

No!

Seven seconds late.

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Hey there, if you please!

Can you stop the traffic? We must leave.

Sure. - Thank you.

What happened?

He banged our heads together. - Let's go.

And he threw us down there. We didn't do anything, I swear.

We were turning on the gas. - Would you recognize him?

Of course, with that criminal face! He was small.

He had a great big head and crazed eyes.

We'll get him.

Get in.

Here too, Engineer, the charge for excess loads.

The copy for you and the original for us.

And another beneath it, please.

So, 7 tons of brass for Ambrogi Foundry in Naples, correct?

Correct. - And there's the customs tax.

Would you please sign here?

He's a genius.

Everything perfect.

Exactly as he predicted.

San Pancrazio, my patron saint,

when I return to Malaga, I'll buy you a new church.

We're seven golden men, Mama.

For the theft insurance, you saw to it in Geneva, Engineer?

Of course. - Not quite done, one last signature below.

This will allow you to pick up the cargo in Rome, as you requested.

But don't worry, if that doesn't happen,

the Italian railway will deliver the brass to the foundry.

No! I mean, Engineer, it would be better if it stopped in Rome.

There might be delays, hitches. - That's impossible, Miss.

Once material has left Switzerland,

it must be picked up where the invoice says.

Else, it's forwarded directly to the recipient. - But the foundry?

Don't you worry, Miss. Don't worry.

We are reaching our goal.

Now, I ask your total collaboration so our work may be crowned with success.

First point: Put the cars back exactly as they were when you rented them.

Remember that tonight, they must be turned in.

Second point: Tomorrow you'll cross the border, all together in one car.

Use the new passports.

This is to prevent the border from stamping the visa on your real ones.

Third point:

Giorgia and I will leave together tonight on the 9:45 train.

And tomorrow, in Rome, we'll get the gold.

Our appointment is for the day after tomorrow at the Hotel Hilton at 3.

That's all, gentlemen. Thank you so much.

Seven tons divided into eight.

How much is that for each?

Three and a half tons.

What do you mean?

Seven divided by two is three and a half tons for you,

three and a half tons for me. - And the others?

Nothing.

But after tomorrow, they'll all be in Rome.

Why do you think I forged their passports?

Tomorrow, the police will hold them for the time we need to disappear.

With the gold, naturally.

And afterward?

After what?

But if they're the best gang in Europe, as you said,

they won't spare any labor to track us down once free.

And I doubt they'll give up their shares so easily.

For that, I need you.

If they find us,

you'll testify the gold accidentally ended up in the foundry as brass.

That's wonderful.

And when they find out the gold never went to the foundry?

They won't.

I thought about that too.

You've thought of everything.

Come in.

I thought you'd never come, my love.

I'm always punctual, as you should know.

Where are the shipping invoices?

I'll get them right away, darling.

Excuse me, dear.

Here, this is everything.

The gold arrives in Rome tomorrow.

And we're going to get it.

And what will we do with him?

Have you thought of something?

We could throw him out the window.

No, it's not worth the trouble.

He'll vanish on his own. Soon they'll be looking for him.

And they'll all think he has the gold! - And when they don't find it?

Then, the professor will say the gold accidentally ended up in the foundry.

Cast with 300 tons of brass. I can testify to it myself.

And if he doesn't?

If he doesn't,

my notary in Geneva would post seven sealed letters.

Six addressed to the professor's accomplices.

And the seventh, to the Geneva police.

Obviously, this will only happen if he thinks about bothering us.

I forgot to tell you that in the first 6 letters is the story of his betrayal.

And in the seventh, guess what's in it?

The story of yours, darling.

Here, this will make him sleep soundly until Bari.

You don't mind, dear, do you?

I'll tell the conductor not to wake him in Rome.

The Border Post of Grand Saint Bernard. Please get your passports ready.

We did it, boys.

Hello? This is the Roma Ostiense freight yard. Yes?

Hello, we've come to collect the goods. - OK.

Hey, Hugo, isn't the 686 the one that went on to Naples? - Yes.

Sorry, Ma'am, but the goods are now in Naples. Shipped yesterday.

But I think it said on the invoice that we had to get them in Rome today.

No... no, Ma'am. Read here.

"Goods delivered to the recipient." There's nothing else written.

It's quite clear.

And the recipient is the Ambrogi Foundry in Naples.

There surely must be a mistake. - But...

Here, this is for you. Call the Ambrogi Foundry. The number's on the invoice.

Tell them not to touch the goods until we arrive. We'll be right there.

At once!

I'm not here to listen to your lies.

If your consciences are clean, why do you travel with fake passports?

We've already explained that, Captain. It must be a joke.

Yes, someone had fun changing our names on the passports.

A prank. - Can you tell me who did it?

If I knew, I'd tell you. It'd be in my interest.

This is the first time, I had to deal with the police. - Me too.

This we know.

What we want to know is why you're all here together and for what.

It's surely... - A joke, I know!

Lock them up. Leave them there until they come clean.

Can you tell me where we are?

Ten minutes from Naples.

They asked not to wake you until Bari. That's why you weren't served coffee.

Bring it now.

And four cups!

Someone betrayed us.

And I know who.

Who was it?

It's no use searching among ourselves.

He's already secure with the ingots.

Impossible.

The Professor?

You said it yourself: Exactly him.

To me he is kaput.

First, we must find where the gold went.

And then we'll see if this was a coincidental arrest.

In seven hours, they'll let us out.

There is no proof to arrest us.

Quite correct.

Better to wait.

I don't believe it was the professor.

Too late. It's melted.

With nickel and iron.

20 tons of nickel, 200 of iron

and 7 tons of brass.

Can we separate it? - What?

Separate it from the rest? - Impossible!

The brass no longer exists.

It's now a part of the iron and nickel.

It is an excellent alloy, used in safes.

There can't be a mistake.

This quantity of brass arrives duly every month from Switzerland.

We've been manufacturing this alloy for safes for years.

Did any other arrival like this stop by?

A couple came this morning.

But only with a 686 invoice sent, like every month, to the foundry in Naples.

Did they take it? - No.

The invoice doesn't provide for a stop in Rome and it went right to Naples.

Maybe there was a mistake in Switzerland. Probably a replacement.

No doubt, it was a replacement.

To you, I was just a means to get at the gold.

And now the gold is gone.

You'd be a remembrance of the 5 years of my life I wasted because of you.

I want to forget you. And as soon as possible.

You weren't of the same opinion after that last time in Zurich.

I too have wasted all these years because I believed you.

Good luck.

Let's go.

Well then?

It ended up in the foundry, melted with 200 tons of iron and 20 tons of nickel.

They say it's an excellent alloy.

They use it for top quality safes destined for the banks of Switzerland.

And why didn't you get it?

Unfortunately, I was too late.

A mistake in Switzerland: the invoice said to send it directly to the foundry.

And the professor?

He was very annoyed and left. He wants nothing to do with it.

What a mess.

And yet there must be a reason for this error.

And we doubted him.

In any case, I think it is better to speak directly with the professor.

How would that help now?

At least, to study the situation.

Maybe something can be done.

We can try something new.

Since the gold is lost.

Yes, that's a brilliant idea.

If the professor wanted, he could organize a new hit in a few days.

He told me that he doesn't want to work with you anymore.

No?

We could convince him.

Beg him...

to reconsider his decision.

He doesn't want to and he's right. - We're bad luck.

This is the second time it went bad for him.

However, I believe you, Giorgia, could arrange a meeting with the professor.

Don't insist, it's no use. I'm tired now.

You want to know something? That lady...

excites me.

Finally.

I thought you'd never come.

Yet here I am.

Alone?

Alone, without gold and completely yours this time.

If you want me.

He abandoned you?

Did you foresee it?

Yes.

Like all the rest.

Just imagine, for one moment I thought you wanted to shoot me.

Not my style.

I came...

to take you back.

After everything I've done?

But if you don't want to come, tell me, I'll understand.

Now that there's no more gold.

Do you think I care so so much about that gold?

No.

Let's go.

But the others are here. - I know.

One moment.

Patience, my son.

Be good.

And now, there'll be explanations.

Ten to one the gold is behind that door.

How about we go see?

No, better to wait.

Well, I'll go to the bar. - To buy some candy?

Albert!

Hey! Quick!

I found the candy, guys: the gold!

As you see, the gold was never at risk.

A perfect plan. - Yes.

If it weren't for the unforeseen.

What kind? - Something elusive.

Which sends the most perfect plan to the devil.

But you are the devil, dear.

This time, you're wrong, Giorgia.

I repeat, what's happening is what the criminal masterminds

rightly called "the imponderable."

What do you mean?

Look who's following us.

Our six friends.

This time, we'll have to face them.

Here we are again all together, boys:

Adolf,

Alfred,

Alfonso,

Anthony,

Aldo,

and my sweet Augusto.

Well, since I lost,

I must pay.

However, before making any decision, know that my notary in Switzerland...

Aldo!

I'm in love!

Come on, romantic.

However, whatever you may decide,

your gold is on...

the truck...

The truck!

Achtung! The truck!

Stop!

Stop, damn you!

Don't move.

Don't touch anything!

Swiss National Bank.

24 carats. - Don't touch it!

This is gold!

This is providence! Sister, it's providence!

It's a miracle!

Hey.

Call for reinforcements! Hurry!

Don't touch it! Don't touch it! Wretches! Thieves! Get out! Out!

I said get out, thieves!

Professor, do something! They're stealing all of it!

All! - Go away! Out!

Stinking Italian! - Go! Go! Please, it's brass!

It can't end like this.

Consider, Professor.

You must do something!

It's late, Adolf.

Too late.

What brass? It's gold!

Let me in! Let me in!

Get lost, pig!

Get out! Out!

Get out! Don't touch it!

It's mine! It's mine!

It's all mine! It's all mine!

What are you doing, Father? - It's for the parish! - Away!

We've so many poor people. - Just one!

Do all you can, Lieutenant! - Is the gold yours?

No! We wish.

We just wanted to help. - We could only stop the truck.

Remain available as witnesses.

You find the driver. Hurry up! Get moving!

Come, Professor, tomorrow's another day.

There will be no another day.

Oh, come on!

The banks that appeared in this film were not robbed.

And the theft was obviously imaginary, like the seven golden men.

Everything's in order, Professor.

We're above the Catacombs of San Petronio.

The height difference is as predicted.

The intersection on the corner of Via Veneto is 35 degrees.

I confirm that the operation will be completed in 1 hour. Over and out!

The sequel in the next film.
