"With peace restored, we can finally get back to work. But, with the clock ticking, it's gonna get down to the wire."

va a tener que ser hasta el último momento
Down the wire significa hasta el último momento. Como está hablando de que tienen que trabajar después de una época movidita el trabajo se les ha amontonado y tienen que trabajar hasta el último momento.

trabajar hasta el cansancio (explicacion abajo)
yo entiendo que "with the clock ticking" se refiere a que les queda poco tiempo (para lo que sea) y por lo tanto tienen que trabajar "down to the wire" para recuperar el tiempo perdido.
