Dermot and Buster need to access the restricted National Records Office (NRS) to find proof that Agnes's grandmother paid the tax bill.

Foreshadowing: The film hints early that finding the receipt is crucial, and the revelation about the blind receptionist comes after the Russians have already destroyed the original document.
