        "transcript": "<p>VOICE: Philips you're nicked.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: This whole scenario does pose a very interesting question. Is it really possible to crack a safe like this using just a stethoscope as we've seen in so many movies.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: With the safe firmly secured, it was time to bring in this man. Meet Jason Osborne, ace locksmith. He's been cracking up to 3 safes a week for the past\u00a0 27 years and he's never been defeated. He uses many different methods, including forced entry using a power drill with a special steel bit.\u00a0 He's even cracked a safe for the Queen at Buckingham Palace. \u00a0So, Jason, tell me about the Buckingham Palace job. You had to open a safe. What? Was it jammed or?</p><p>JASON OSBORNE: It was a vault where the lock had jammed.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: And what was in there? The Crown Jewels, don't tell me.</p><p>JASON OSBORNE: No. Just loads of silver.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: Really?</p><p>JASON OSBORNE: Yes.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS V/O: But Jason faces a very different challenge today.\u00a0 Cracking our safe with a doctor's stethoscope, something he's never tried before.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: What are you actually listening for?</p><p>JASON OSBORNE: It's hard to explain, but you've basically got to line up three wheels and then when the 3 cuts line up an arm drops in that allows you to open it. But going by sound you can tell whether or not you're on the wheels or not.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: Right, well let's see how you go?</p><p>JASON OSBORNE: All right.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: And if you think the easy answer is to pick the whole thing up and do a runner, when the cavities of the walls are filled with concrete, even this little one weighs 350 kilos.\u00a0 About the weight of 4 men.</p><p>This safe has over a million combinations. A computer-aided device could go through every possible combination but it would take up to 36 hours. Jason didn't have a computer, just his skill. And so that we could hear what he could hear, we wired up a microphone.\u00a0 Although Jason wouldn't reveal the precise method, he did say he was listening out for a particular pattern of clicks, which give a clue to the combination of the lock. Finally after 2 and a half hours.</p><p>JASON OSBORNE: I think we're nearly there. In fact, yep.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: Are you serious?</p><p>JASON OSBORNE: Yep.\u00a0 I've done it.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: No! Unbelievable. That's brilliant! That's one movie myth that turns out not to be a myth at all. You can open a safe using a stethoscope.</p><p>(SIREN)</p>",
