:28:00
You've got construction orders,
phone lines,

:28:05
water and sewage -
it's all here.

:28:08
Now, when the Declaration
is on display, OK,

:28:11
it is surrounded by guards
and video monitors

:28:14
and a little family from Iowa and little kids
on their eighth-grade field trip.

:28:18
And beneath an inch of bulletproof glass
is an army of sensors and heat monitors

:28:23
that will go off if someone gets too close
with a high fever.

:28:27
Now, when it's not on display,
:28:30
it is lowered into a four-foot-thick
concrete, steel-plated vault...

:28:38
that happens to be equipped
with an electronic combination lock

:28:42
and biometric access-denial systems.
:28:44
You know, Thomas Edison tried and failed
nearly 2,000 times

:28:48
to develop the carbonised cotton-thread
filament for the incandescent light bulb.

:28:52
Edison?
:28:53
When asked about it,
he said, "I didn't fail,

:28:55
I found out 2,000 ways
how not to make a light bulb. "

:28:58
But he only needed to find one way
to make it work.

:29:03
The Preservation Room.
Enjoy. Go ahead.

:29:08
Do you know
what the Preservation Room is for?

:29:11
Delicious jams and jellies?
:29:13
No. That's where they clean,
repair and maintain

:29:16
all the documents
and the storage housings

:29:18
when they're not on display or in the vault.
:29:20
Now, when the case needs work they take
it out of the vault, directly across the hall

:29:24
and into the Preservation Room.
:29:26
The best time for us, or Ian, to steal it
would be during the gala this weekend

:29:30
when the guards are distracted
by the VIPs upstairs.

:29:33
But we'll make our way to the Preservation
Room, where there's much less security.

:29:41
Well, if Ian...
:29:46
Preservation...
:29:48
The gala, huh?
:29:52
This might be possible.
:29:55
It might.
