Once back at his lair Diabolik drills a hole at the top of the steel container to insert a super heated rod to melt the gold inside.

And they can't just blow up the network's studios and offices because (besides the moral implications of all the innocent people who would be hurt or killed) the insurance would get them back in business in no time. So, in typical "no such thing as overkill" fashion, they invoke this trope and concoct a plan to completely destroy the entire corporation's finances ''AND'' safely damage their building beyond repair (so they'd have to waste even more cash demolishing it) with no casualties in order to fulfill their contract to get one show off the air. While they are at it, they also shortchange the stock on the network and make even more money for doing their job.
