Fran, I think I'm going to be...

No, hold on.
We're bound to be
there in a minute.

Here.

Concentrate madly
on something else.

It's all mental.

That fish isn't.
[ Gasping ]

Change places with me.
There's a bit of air
from the window.

[ Gasping ]

I say,

I wonder if you'd be so kind...

As to put that somewhere else.

The fish.
Could you put it
somewhere?

It's a bit strong.
Could you put it

I don't know why one
always thinks...

Foreigners will suddenly
understand English
if one shouts.

Fran, I don't think
I can manage.

I'm sure it's just
around the next corner.

Try reciting
"the jabberwock."

Think of it
on the printed page...

And force yourself
to remember
the illustrations.

Please forgive me.

Orestes is our cousin.

I came back because
I had work to do.

All I want is
some peace and quiet.

You didn't come back
for love of your family...

Or your village.

That much is certain.
Oh, what do you mean
by that?

You suddenly appear from London.

You don't want to see anyone.

You don't want me
to take any visitors.

You and this englishman
watch each other like

You're very observant,
aren't you, little sister?

And you fill your head
with this? Stars,

I warn you again.

Stay out of my business.

If you do, you'll have
all the money you need.

If you don't...
This make money?

More than you

How?

By keeping one step

Why was your mother

our staying here?

It's uncle stratos.

Since he come back

he don't like no one.

But I like you both,
so everything okay.

Wait a minute.

Thank you very much.
No.

Are you crazy or something?

Good afternoon.

- What are you doing here?
- We've come to stay,
if you've no objection.

- She has let you the room?
- This is a hotel, isn't it?

I mean, it is
the custom in crete...

To let rooms to visitors,
or am I mistaken?

How did you hear
of aghios georgios?

Someone told us
at the hotel in iraklion.

I'm a musicologist.
I collect folk songs.

What kind of songs
do you expect to find here?

Ah, the song that this hotel
is called after, for one.

Now, do you mind?
We'd like to rest.

All right, you can
spend the night here.

That's extremely kind of you.
Could we
at least have a bath?

There is no bath here.

Alexis will give you water
to wash in if you wish,

or else there is the sea.

There is a bus leaving
for aghios nicolaos tomorrow.

Well, if that's an example
of cretan hospitality,

I...

Oh, it's so awful,
it's hilarious.

Oh, well, at least
it couldn't be any worse.

Oh, darling, I am sorry.

I promise
that we'll spend a week
in cannes on the way home,

and we'll dress up
and go to all the galas
and be madly gay.

But you know what's going
to be the final blow?

Well, he'll have

Oh.

Thanks, lambis.

You went to
the bay of dolphins?
Huh? Yes.

Skin diving?
Yes.

The water's so clear,

It is a legend.

Who are
the moon-spinners?

Three sisters
who spin the full moon.

Doesn't the legend
have to do with
the bay of dolphins?

Alexis told me there was
supposed to be a sunken ship
laden with treasure.
Really?

In crete, there are
many old tales.

I understand
when the moon is full,

you're supposed to be able
to see the treasure
at the bottom of the bay.

Do you think
there's any treasure
in the bay of dolphins?

There are sharks
and many dangerous octopus
among the rocks.

- Sharks!

Looking for rocks.
I collect rocks.

You carry them
in that?
Sometimes.

If I happen to find a lot.
Rocks can be very heavy.

How many did you find
this morning?

[ Sighs ]
Not many.

In fact, none.

Well, I mustn't be late
for lunch, must I?

Who needed this, miss Ferris?

Well...

As a matter of fact,

I wasn't actually
looking for rocks.

Well, that is, I was at first.

But then I went up there
into the hills...

And I came across this Shepherd
who'd broken his leg.

He'd slipped and broken his leg.

- Ah.
- Oh, the poor man was lying
out there with nothing.

So, of course,
I had to do something.

Up...
Up in the hills?
Uh-huh.

Ah, look.

Up there!
He was awfully grateful.

He was an awfully nice
Shepherd, very old.

Will you show me
where you left him?

I will make arrangements
to have him carried back
to the village.

Oh, he can walk.
He walked away.

He's quite all right now.
He walked...
With a broken leg?

Yes.
Well, good-bye.

Mr. stratos, I...

Really, he's all right.

Perhaps it wasn't
completely broken.

I think we should
make sure, don't you?

No, he's gone home
with his sheep.

When a Shepherd breaks his leg,
he always goes into this church
to pray.

It's an old tradition
in aghios georgios.

I promise you,

he went over the mountains
towards his village.

Answer me.

How much do you know?

Did you see her?

Well, she was not on the beach.

She must have gone up
into the hills.

It's a beautiful day.

It's so unlike her
not to have let me know.

I'm, uh, going shooting
in those hills with lambis.

If we see her there,
we'll tell her that
y-you were worried.

Oh, I don't mind,
so long as she's all right.

Ah, bon apetit,
Mrs. Ferris.

Tonight, if we are lucky,
you will have quail for dinner.
Quail?

It is a local dish,

stuffed with mushrooms
and thyme.

Extremely tasty.

It sounds delicious.
Yes.

So, these are guns.
You've seen guns before?
I'm going shooting.

Something has happened.
Eh?

Did you tell me the truth
this morning?

The truth?
About Mr. camford.

I must know.

I must know what is going on.

You know what I tell you.
That is enough.
No, it's not enough.

You tell me Mr. camford
left with the early bus.
Why? Why?

How should I know?
He's a visitor. He comes
and goes as he chooses.

I did not hear him leave.

Why should you hear?

He left quietly
so as not to disturb anyone.
And now this girl!

[ Gasping ]
Skasse.

I don't understand.
I'm afraid.

Please, stratos,
whatever happen,
tell me the truth.

Mr. camford went
to iraklion.

Miss Ferris lost her way.

I am going to shoot quail.

What is the matter with you?
Someone must've taken
these things.

Yes. The children in
the village, the devil himself.
What do I care?

I think, after lunch,
I'll walk along the beach
and look for her.

I suppose you didn't
find out anything
about my things.

[ Panting, gasping ]

I'll watch the bay.
You take the high country.
Search. Find him.

This time, when you shoot,
shoot to kill.

♪ [ continues ]
Alexis.

Over here.

Camford, for crying out loud.

What you doing up here?

They said you'd gone
to iraklion.
Listen, Alexis.

Are you my friend?
Nay, nay, but what
you doing up here?

Can you keep a secret?

Go back to the inn...

And see if nikky and her aunt
have caught the afternoon bus
to aghios nicolaos.

I want to be sure
they have caught that bus.
You understand?

But what's up?
You and uncle stratos make
pretty big stink, eh?

You bring me news about nikky.
Quick, like a mouse.

Then you still my friend?

I think pretty lousy thing
when you go and no good-bye.

Of course we're friends,
the best. Now, off you go.
I bring you word.

[ Goat bleating ]

[ Bells on mule ringing ]

[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

Alexis!

It's nikky! Help!

For cryin' out loud,
what you doin' in there?

Get me out of here, Alexis!

I get Mr. camford.
We get you out all right.

Has my niece come back?

No.
Then it's true. She must
have had an accident.

Perhaps she went walking
in the hills.
She's been gone all day!

Papse, georgi.
Don't you understand?
Anything may have happened.

She may be lying
out there somewhere, hurt.

Did you find her?
She has not returned?

I'm terribly worried.
I want you, please,
to call the police at once.

The police?
My niece may be lost,
kidnapped, anything!

Now calm down,
calm down, Mrs. Ferris.
We will look for her.

The best thing for you to do is
go upstairs and get some rest.
Rest? I can't rest!

I walked up and down that beach
until I thought I'd go mad.
Just a minute.

Eki ine I hameni mikri englese.

Essis estes varkes essis
sta voune essis sta yarda.

Grigora!
Grigora!

There, you see?
We will search for her.

All of us.
Along the shore,
in the hills.

I am quite sure that we will
find her before long.

Thank you.

I will go get my coat.

I'm going
back along the beach
to look for her.

If she's found, please
send someone after me.

Stratos,

I want to know
where that girl is,
and I want to know now.

And how should I know
where she is?
I'm not her nurse.

I warn you, stratos,
I will stand no more from you.

No more threats, no more lies.

After tomorrow night,
you'll never see me again.

If you have harmed
that girl or Mr. camford,

I won't rest
until you have paid for it.

We have been poor people,
simple people;
But we have been decent.

I want my son to grow up decent.

How long would your decency
have kept you if I hadn't...

Sent you money from england
all these years?

Enough to buy this house;
Enough to start this inn?

Better to have nothing.
Better to starve
and have some self-respect.

It was my money,

not your self-respect,
that kept you and your brat...

And the whole family, 15 years.

You send us money
you work for honestly.

What do you know about me,

what I have worked for,
planned for, fought for?

Nothing.
Tell me where she is,
stratos.

In god's name, tell me.

- Get out of my way, Sophia.
- Either you tell me,
or I'll go to the priest.

I'll tell the whole village.

I'll tell them that my brother
stratos is a criminal.

No, you won't, Sophia.
You won't say a word.

You know why?
You love your son.

You wouldn't want anything
to happen to him, would you?

Even you would not do that.

Oh, yes, Sophia.
Even I would do just that.

Now get out of the way.

Door locked!
Never been locked before.

All right, all right.

That looks like the only way in.

What are you doing?

It's game we play.

Be careful!

I do many times.
I best of aghios georgios.

Alexis!
Asto diavolo.

I get too old to play
this lousy game.

Alexis! Alexis!

Is she all right?

Nikky all right!

How'd you get in here?

Quickly, please, quickly,

before that horrible man
gets back!

What man?
Stratos!
He's coming back. Hurry!

Don't worry.
We get you free.

Break, will you?

Diavolocombes.

There! Oh.

[ Moaning ]

Oh, Alexis!
No time make love.

You get out quick.

Not the steps.
This way, quick!

Steady!

I can't look down.

I can't!
I can't do it!

Listen to me, you not fall
if you don't be stupid girl!

Watch me, I show you how.

[ Gasping ]
You okay?

Very good show.
Come on.

She too much afraid.
I don't know.

Don't look down!

Watch the sails!

Jump when the next one
reaches you.

[ Screaming ]

I watch for uncle stratos.

Stay there.

I'm coming up.

No!

Mark, stay there.
I'll jump.

Slide... now!

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming continues ]

[ Sobbing ]
That's it. Come on,
you're all right.

Go! No time make love.
Now uncle stratos coming.

No! No, please!
Uh, take her other hand,
Alexis.

No, I go back to village.
No, stay with us.
If your uncle finds out...

He won't find me. I hide so
good, even devil don't find me.
Please, no!

Go!
We'll be
in aghios nicolaos.

[ Lock clicking ]

Oh, come on.

[ Moaning ]
Just let me rest a minute.
Not here!

Just let me get my breath.
You're right out
in the open.

Aunt Fran
will be looking for me.
She'll be hysterical.

You'll be safe
in aghios nicolaos, and
that's where you're going.

Oh, don't you tell me
where I'm going.

I've been through enough
today because of you.

I want my aunt, and I want
the police. And I want
that monster, stratos, arrested.

This is no time
to start making a scene.
You're coming with me.

[ Gasping, sobbing ]

Oh! Oh, mark, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.
All right.

You've had your say.
Now will you come with me?

I'm sorry, honestly. I didn't...
It's just that I'm so...
It's all right. It's all right.

I know, I know.
But we can't stay here.
All right?

Mm-hmm.

Come on.

Mark, at least
you could tell me why
stratos tried to kill you.

Why has he tried
to kill me?
I'll tell you later.

You keep saying
you'll tell me later.

I've been shut up
in that horrible windmill,
almost murdered,

and now we're running away.

But I don't know where,
or why, or what's happening
or anything.

If you waste any more time
jabbering, you won't live
long enough to find out.

Oh, I'm going back.
Listen,
don't you understand?

Stratos is a desperate man.
He's got everything at stake.

Now you've stumbled
into this mess, and I'm doing
my best to get you out of it.

Well, I...

I don't see why I should go
running all over crete with you.
I don't even know who you are.

I'm a master criminal,
wanted all over Europe.
Very funny.

I will tell you
in aghios nicolaos.
One thing I do know.

Your manners
are as bad as stratos's.

Very well, miss Ferris,
stay here.
Call a policeman.

I'm sure he'll offer you
better protection than I can.

Turn around!

Mark, wait!

I think I've killed him.

[ Panting ]
No, it's all...
It's all right.

He's, uh...
It's all right.

He's just out cold.

But I heard his head crack.

Yeah. Good work, nikky.
[ Grunts ]

Oh, mark!

[ Groans ]

Your shoulder,
it's bleeding again.

Nikky, do you...

Do you think you could
possibly go on alone?

No, don't be silly!

We must stay together.

I honestly don't...

I honestly don't think
I can make it.

Yes, of course you can.
Come on.

We must go.

I'll take that.

We'll find somewhere
along the way,
and then you can rest.

All right?
Yeah, okay.

What is this place?

The temple of Apollo.
The locals say it's haunted.

Well, we can rest here.

Over there.
Yeah.

Mark, it is creepy.

It's all the better.
We can hide and rest.

[ Cats screeching ]

It's all right.
It's only cats.

The most
bloodcurdling sound.
Cats are bad luck on crete.

[ Snarling ]

Wonder who she is.

A young lady that
ran back to stratos
and lost her head.

Mark?

[ Grunts ]

I'm sorry for all the trouble
I've caused you.

No, no, no.

I think, in view of all
the trouble you've caused,

it's about time
I told you the whole story.

No, not now.
Tell me tomorrow.

I want to tell you now.

Oh, it's... have you ever heard
of the countess of fleet?

Yes.

Wasn't she the woman...

Who lost those fabulous jewels
in a robbery?

Some man who worked in a bank
was accused... he was accused...

Yes, that was me.

Mark, did you steal them?
Of course I didn't.

Who did?
Stratos, I think.

How... how on earth did
you get mixed up in that?

Oh, it's all so...

The countess kept all
her jewels at the bank...

Where I occupied
what is known
as a position of trust.

Sometimes she asked me
to bring them to her when
she wanted to wear them.

Well, on this
particular occasion,

instead of waiting
for the guard...

You know, the security man...

Mm-hmm.

I took the jewels from the safe
and jumped into a taxi...

And took them straight
'round to fleet house.

What happened?

One moment I was standing
on the doorstep with the jewels,
the next moment I came to...

Without the jewels and
a lump the size of a golf ball
on the back of my head.

Stratos?
I never got a chance
to see his face.

I was hit from behind.

Oh, I see.

How awful.

Oh, how awful.

But why didn't you take
the guard with you?

I was in a rush
that night.
Why?

Oh, it's...

Oh, the most idiotic
of all reasons. I had a date.

Oh.

But...

But how did stratos
know you were coming?

Ah, that's what everybody
wanted to know:

The police, the bank,
the papers,

even my doting family.

I think one of the fleets'
servants tipped him off.

But I suppose
they thought you did.

I was dismissed, disbarred
and generally disgraced.

Oh, mark, how dreadful for you.
And how unfair.

Oh, yes, well...

We'd better find somewhere
with some more cover.

But how on earth did you
trace stratos here?

Well, a fence was arrested
in London.

Just a routine affair.

The police found
one of the fleet earrings
among his loot.

Now this man lived over
a Greek restaurant in soho
called the moon-spinners.

The moon-spinners?
Now wait a minute.

By hanging around,
I discovered that the owner had
lately sold up and vanished.

He was a cretan,
a man called stratos.

That was a pretty long shot,
wasn't it?
Well, it paid off.

I found aghios georgios, another
inn called the moon-spinners...

And another cretan
called stratos.

But you don't even know
if he's got the jewels, do you?

Well, I'm pretty certain
after last night,
aren't you?

- He might
have left them in London.
- Not a chance.

- At the inn?
- Warm.

- The church?
- Warmer.

I know, the bay of dolphins!

That's why
he was so determined
you weren't to go there!

It's got to be.
It's the only place.

You mean he's buried them
in the sea?

We'll, he's always out there
scouting around in his boat.

Mark, if you're sure,
why don't you...
Call the police?

Yes.
Because I have no proof,
no proof of anything.

No way of connecting him
with the robbery at all,

except that he tried
to kill me last night.

Now I suppose
he locked you up
in the windmill...

Because he thought
I might have told you
the whole story.

Was she pretty?
Huh? Who?

The girl you had a date with.

- The girl...
- The girl that night.

Oh, her.
I don't remember.

That blow on the head
must have knocked her
clean out of my mind.

- You believe me, don't you?
- About the girl?

No. About me.

I'll tell you
in aghios nicolaos.

Now try to sleep.

I'll get the gun.

You... you can use my shoulder,
if you like.

I think it's
a bit more comfortable
than the ruins of ancient crete.

[ Laughs ]

Better?
Hmm.

It's the most comfortable
shoulder I've ever slept on.

[ Cats screeching ]

[ Clattering ]

[ Snarling ]

[ Snarling continues ]

[ Snarling continues ]

It's all right.

Well, well, well,
what have we here?
Hansel and gretel?

- Who are you?
- N-now don't wave that firearm
at me, young lady.

I'm the British consul
at iraklion.

Good morning. May I ask
what you're doing out here?

You're hikers, I suppose.

No, well, not exactly.
Yes, but why the rifle?
Are you in trouble?

Yes, we are.
There's this terrible man,
this-this criminal...

Actually-actually, there was
a wedding at the village.
Uh-huh?

And, uh, uh, some of
the locals got a bit drunk
and started a fight.

- But mark...
- Things began to look dangerous.

So we thought
we'd better clear out.
Very wise.

But what are you going to do?
I mean to say,
you're miles from anywhere.

Hmm. I wanted to get
miss Ferris to aghios nicolaos.

Why don't I drive you?
I've got
my summer villa there.

Oh, that would be wonderful.
Mark, that's lucky.

My name's Antony
chelmscott gamble.

It's always a pleasure
to help her majesty's
subjects in distress.

How do you do?

Look, why don't you go
along with Mr. gamble,

and I'll see if I can get
in touch with your aunt.

I'm not going with anyone.
And you've got to get a doctor
to see to your shoulder.

He was shot in the shoulder.

Shot? My goodness, yes,
you have been having adventures.

Well, it so happens
my wife's a qualified nurse.
She'll be happy to attend you.

Oh, that's marvelous.

Please, mark.
Otherwise I won't go.

All right.

Mr. gamble?
Hmm?

What are you doing out here
so early in the morning?

Well, I'm an amateur
archaeologist.

I often come out here
to Potter among the ruins.

I have a nose for making
singular discoveries.

What?
Why don't you tell him
about stratos?

No.
But he's the consul.

Not yet.

Don't you think
we might dispense
with the rifle?

Guns before breakfast
are so uncivilized,
don't you think?

Come on in and make
yourselves at home.

My wife should be
around somewhere.

Oh, hot out there.
Cynthia?

Cynthia?
Ah, my dear.

I came across two compatriots
down at the ruins.
Miss Ferris and, uh, Mr., uh...

Camford.
Mr. camford.
How do you do?

They ran into some trouble
with the natives.
Mr. camford's hurt his shoulder.

Oh, my dear, how dreadful.
You both look worn out.

I thought we could take care
of them until their affairs
are set in order.

Yes, of course,
I'd be delighted.

If I could look
at your shoulder,
perhaps I can be of help.

- [ Together ]
Oh, well...
- It's all right.

You need have no fear
at handing yourself
over to Cynthia.

She was known
as the angel of eastbourne
during the war.

Oh, Tony, don't be absurd.

Would you like
to go along up?
Thank you very much.

I'll send the car
to aghios georgios
for your aunt.

I'll see you later.

Why are you still here?
I told you to go home.

A fine mess
you've made of things.

If you'd had your way,
this entire enterprise
would have ended...

With bodies strewn all over
the island, like the last act
of king lear.

Was it my fault he turned up
at aghios georgios?

I did everything I could
to get rid of him.
As for that girl and her aunt...

As though they were sacks
of potatoes without anybody
starting an inquiry?

You've endangered us all
by your senseless bungling.

Now that you've got
them here, what are you
going to do with them?

I shall take care of them
with efficiency and dispatch,

two qualities which
you seem to be sadly lacking.

You listen to me,
you chattering old maid.

I want to know
what you're going to do.

It's not your concern anymore.

Go back to the village and
concentrate on carrying out your
part of the bargain tonight.

If it hadn't been
for your grotesque addiction
to astrology,

I could have handled
the whole deal from here,
without involving anyone else.

My chart has not lied.

From the beginning,
it has not lied.

You sit here,
reading your letters,

making contacts,
collecting your fat commissions.

I did the whole thing...

From the beginning, I alone.

It was your chart, I suppose,
that produced madame habib.

Well, you just remember this:

If either of those two get away,
it means the finish of you...

And your whole cozy setup.

You'll be sorry
you did not stay at home
and stick to your knitting.

I don't knit.

It so happens I do
extremely fine petit point.

[ Muttering ]

Not that way.
Through the garden.

Savage.

[ Knocking ]
Oh, come in.

Hello. Are you
feeling better?

Mmm.
You enjoying
your breakfast?

I never thought
rolls with jam
could taste so good.

[ Laughing ]
Well, I've brought you
something fresh to put on...

Until your aunt arrives
with your things.

Oh, thank you.

My dear, I wanted
to talk to you.

I'm worried
about Mr. camford.

Oh, why?
What happened?

Well, I've given him penicillin,
but he really needs
professional care.

- How bad is he?
- I don't want
to alarm you, my dear.

But I think his arm may become
infected. I don't know
if I caught it in time.

Oh, no.

How awful. Well, we must
get him to a hospital.

Well, there is a wonderful
British hospital in Athens.

Athens? But could we
get him there in time?

I mean, if his arm's
really bad, it might...

Now don't let's
anticipate disaster.

Why don't I talk to Antony?

He's so wise,
and he has such influence
with the local authorities.

Well, if you think so.
But I...

Oh, you poor dear. You have
had the most dreadful time.

But don't worry.
Antony will take charge.

Antony always takes charge.
You can trust him completely.

Now you're not to worry
about a thing. Everything
will be all right.

Can I go and see mark
now and then?

Oh, I wouldn't if I were you.
He's sleeping.
Oh.

Are you, by any chance,
related to lady Ferris
of pentwythwyth castle?

- Not that I know of.
- Such a dear person.

Her daughter married
a second cousin of mine,
Reginald busby-pellam.

- Really?
- Yes.

I'm so frightfully out of touch
with everyone here.

There isn't
even an English club.

Oh.

Reginald busby-pellam...
[ Giggles ]

Of pentwythwyth-wyth-wyth.

Oh, crikey.

Ah, there you are, my dear.
How's Mr. camford?

I just looked in.
He's still sleeping.
Oh, dear, poor chap.

Oh, what a beautiful yacht.

Yes, isn't it?
Um, shall we go in?

Yeah.
I think lunch ought
to be ready by now.

Now this way.

I'm sure it was a wise decision
to go to Athens.

I'll arrange for a plane
to pick you up at iraklion.

Mr. camford should be safe
in the British hospital
in not more than three hours.

Oh, that is a relief.
I'll wire them
to reserve a room.

Well, here we are.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, you've chosen
the worst day of the whole year
to leave here.

Tonight is the feast of
king minos, a local carnival,
and the whole place goes mad.

So the sooner you leave
for the airport, the better.

How can I ever thank
you and your wife enough?

Well, it was a stroke of luck
that Cynthia was able
to look Mr. camford over.

You can always
trust Cynthia completely.

Ah, my dear, we just sat down.

[ Slurring ]
I'm sorry to be late.

I was finishing a letter
to maude devises.

Do you know maude devises?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

She's the daughter
of the Earl of Leith.

We're old, old friends.

[ Sighs ]

Would you... would you
care for some bread?

It's so close.

There's thunder in the air.

Well, take a pill, dear,
and go to bed.

I wish I could go to Athens.

Anything to get away from here.

The acropolis is really
quite pretty by moonlight.

I'm afraid
my wife fails to respond
to the glories of classic art.

Oh.
I'm tired of classic art.

All those
broken columns and statues
without arms and legs.

Well, Greece isn't so bad.
Think of blackpool in November.

One can't make friends
with people here.

Even those shipping magnates.
Who are they?

For all their yachts and
their villas, nouveaux riches.
Take madame habib.

- Imagine a woman
like that being received.
- Cynthia...

A scrubwoman's daughter from
Alexandria, that's what she was,

married five or six times.

- Cynthia, I hardly think...
- Sailing 'round the world
in that enormous yacht.

Entertaining royalty.

Who is madame habib?
Well, she's
the woman that...

[ Clears throat ]
Eat your curried eggs, dear.

I'm tired of curried eggs.

Maude devises wouldn't have
allowed her inside the house.

Neither would lady Ferris...

Or Millicent cotesworth.

Maude devises
is a galloping old bore.

Don't speak
of my friends like that.

My friends mean
everything to me.

That's what comes
of living in an outpost.

It ruins your manners.

Think I shall go up to my room.

I did ask you, didn't I,
you don't come
from pentwythwyth?

No, I don't.

Oh.

I should like some Sherry
sent up to my room.

- [ Clears throat ]
- Think I should lie down.

Take her up a cup of cocoa,
would you, please?

Mark?

Mark?

Oh, hello.

How are you feeling?

[ Grunts ]
Peculiar.

Must be the color
of these pajamas.
How are you?

All right.
How's your shoulder?
Does it still hurt?

Not much. Lady Cynthia
gave me a couple of shots.

Oh, I hope she knows
what she's doing.

She tipples.
Well, I thought as much.

There was
a scene at lunch.
What about?

Oh, how awful
everyone is in Greece.
Simply too unrefined.

Especially some woman who has
a yacht, called madame habib;
Too ghastly.

- Who?
- Madame habib. Too ghastly.
Married five or six times.

Nobody who is anybody would even
have her inside the house.

Madame habib?

Hmm. Her yacht's
in the harbor.

The minotaur?
Are you sure?

Mark, lie down.
Is she here?

Oh, well, I don't know. I...
Madame habib.
That would explain everything.

What would?
Why he was so desperate
to get rid of us.

Why he's been hiding
in aghios georgios.
What he's been waiting for.

Stratos?
The deal, the big deal!
I must get out of this house.

You're not going anywhere.
Now mark, just lie still.

I've got to go
back to the village.
You're doing no such thing.

You're coming with us to Athens
because Mr. gamble's
already ordered the plane.

Well, he can unorder it.
I can't let stratos
slip through my fingers now.

Mark, please be sensible.

Help me, nikky.
I've got to get dressed.

Just tell me why this woman
is suddenly so important to you.

She's a multi-millionairess
of doubtful repute,

with one of the finest
collections of jewels
in the world.

So what?
She'd be the perfect
customer. Don't you see?

Stratos can't sell the fleet
emeralds on the open market.
They're too well known.

I don't know what
the angel of eastbourne gave me.
I feel half crocked.

Now look, if you lie down
and promise not to move,

I'll go and see
if that yacht
really is the minotaur,

because there's a telescope
on the terrace.

All right?
I'll be right back.

And don't move.

If you're interested
in the sights, miss Ferris,
you ought to look at the fort.

Now where are we?

There it is.

It's a famous venetian fort.

[ Nikky ]
Hmm.

The heads of malefactors
were stuck on spikes
over the gate...

And left there
to blister in the sun.

Oh, how awful.
[ Laughing ]

Well, if you'll excuse me,
I'm just going to...
Yes, of course.

Nikky!
Auntie!

[ Both gasping ]

Oh, auntie!

I don't think I've
ever been so furious...

With anyone
in my whole life, I don't!

I've given the driver
full instructions.

You've been wonderful.
I don't know how
to ever thank you.

Well, it's my job,
as your passport has it:

"To afford
her majesty's subjects
every help and protection."

Oh, do be careful.

Oh, he's unconscious.
Do you think
we'll get there in time?

The poor boy. Everything
will be all right.
Just try to keep calm.

[ Nikky ]
It's a hearse!

How very bizarre.
I don't think
that's very funny.

Well, it wasn't
intended to be, my dear.

It so happens, it's the
only available vehicle in which
anybody can stretch out flat.

As long as it get us
to the airport,
that's all that matters.

Yes, well, I think
I'm going to get
in the back with mark.

Thank you so much,
Mr. gamble. Good-bye.

Good-bye.
Have a good journey.

Thank you.

Now you will do all you
possibly can to see that that
horror, stratos, is arrested?

Yes, of course.
Absolutely.
We'll be happy to testify.

Well, I-i sincerely hope
that won't be necessary.

Good-bye.
Good-bye.

Embrohss.
And happy landings
in Athens.

[ Fireworks exploding ]

It's all right.
Just lie still.

Mark!

I don't know what lady Cynthia
was up to, but I'm convinced
she's drugged me to the gills.

What?
I found some tablets
in gamble's bathroom.

I feel quite astonishingly
wide awake.
What...

You're insane.
Mr. gamble's a British consul.

I don't know what the devil
he is. There's something
fishy about them both.

Now you get on that plane and
go to Athens, do you hear me?

If you try to get
out of this hearse,
I'll do something desperate!

I've got to get back to the inn.
I've the strongest possible
hunch that tonight's the night.

Stratos will kill you.
And if he doesn't, I will.

Lie down.
Look, don't you get rough
with me. I'm an invalid.

Mark, you're not going
without me.

You'll only get into some
awful scrape, and I won't
be there to help you.

Dear nikky,
you've gone through
quite enough for me.

I just don't want
you to get hurt.

Take care.

Mark!

Will you explain to them,

we have a sick man
who must go to hospital!

[ Knocking ]
[ Woman ]
come.

[ Purring ]

Madame, there's a young woman
in a motorboat alongside.

She's signaling
to come aboard.
What sort of a young woman?

A young woman.

I don't recall
any mention of a young woman
in the arrangements.

Bring her on board.
Then we'll see.

Yes, madame.

Thank you.

[ Snarling ]

What are you doing
out in the middle of nowhere
following my yacht?

Are you madame habib?
Yes, I am.

And who, may I ask, are you?

I'm nikky Ferris.
Please, I must talk to you.
It's terribly important.

What do you have to say to me?
I never heard of you in my life.

You are dripping
all over my carpet.
Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't think, because you have
managed to get on board, that
I'm going to give you money.

Oh, I don't want any money.
Really, I don't.

What do you want? Hurry,
you are holding up my ship.

Are you going
to aghios georgios
to buy those emeralds?

What did you say?

The emeralds that were stolen
from lady what's-her-name
in London.

She kept them at the bank,
and mark was last to take them
to her, only he was held up.

And he never saw the man's face.
It was a terrible scandal.

And mark had lost his job
and was disgraced,
and he was in...

In...
[ Sneezes ]

Thank you.

Now please explain,
what emeralds?

May I sit down?
Sit.

Aunt Frances and I
are on a holiday.

And we went to
aghios georgios to record
some songs for the b.B.C.

And mark was there.
It was a wedding.

And next day,
I found him in the crypt.
He'd been attacked by stratos.

Stratos?
Well, he's the man with
the emeralds. So I helped him.

Who?
Mark. I had to.

But then stratos found out
and shut me in the windmill.
He was gonna kill me, I think.

But mark and Alexis
got me out.
Who is Alexis?

Oh, he's a boy from the village.
He's got a donkey.
I see.

What happened then?

Well, then we ran away and spent
the night in these ruins.
Oh, there were so many cats.

And then mark told me
who he is.
Who is he?

Well, he's the man
who was held up, not the man
whose face he didn't see.

Whose face did you see?
Mark's.
But he's in-in...

[ Sneezes ]
I think I need a drink.

I know it all must sound
absolutely crazy to you.

But I'm so afraid
that stratos will kill him.

And now mark's gone back
to try and stop him.

Please help me.
Please, madame habib.

Stratos will stop at nothing.

And mark is sick and weak
because he was shot in the sh...

Sh...
[ Sneezes ]

Who else knows
about these emeralds?

Uh, my-my aunt Frances.

Well, I had to tell her.

And where is she?

She's in a hearse
at the airport.

Drink.

What is it?
It make clear
your brain.

Oh, my brain's perfectly clear.
It's just I'm so cold.

That will warm you.

Tell me, do you often have
adventures of this kind?

[ Sighs ]
Never. This is the first one
I've ever had in my life.

Something tells me it is
not likely to be the last.

So your aunt knows,
and she's in a hearse
at the airport.

Dead or alive?
Oh, alive.
At least, I hope so.

Anyone else?

Um, well, Sophia knows,
and lambis, I suppose.

And I wanted
to tell Mr. consul,
the British gamble.

Mr. gamble,
the British consul.

- Mr. gamble the consul?
- Yes. Do you know him?

Well, when I knew Mr. gamble,
he was not the consul.

He was a dealer in antiquities.

And you know what you are?

You are an impostor.
Me?

You are the girl from that
English children's book,

who walked through the glass
into a world
full of crazy people.

And you know who I am?
I am the march hare.

Madame, may we get underway?

At once.

So what is it precisely
you want me to do?

Don't buy the emeralds.

Please, give them to mark,
and then he'll take them
back to the bank,

and then he'll get
his job back, and everyone
will know that he's in...

Innocent.

strange people in my life.

But you are the most incredible.

No time now.

Alexis, wait.
She's with him.
She's with Mr. camford.

Come then.
Both go now, quick!

[ Shouting in Greek ]

You are lucky I don't
throw you overboard
for the sharks.

Oh. What was it
you gave me to drink?

I feel all sort of
far off and lofty.

You know, sort of
rather lofty-softy.

[ Knocking ]
Come.

We've dropped anchor, madame,
off the bay of dolphins.

Is there anyone?
He's coming aboard.

Come here.
No, wait a minute. Maybe
you'll like this one better.

going to do to me?
I have not decided.

You know something, you're

I mean it!

[ Knocking ]
Come.

Be quiet, shalimar.
Come here.

Are you the man
from Mr. gamble?

I am.
Have you brought

Yes.

Well, show them to me.

You have the money?
I must see
the jewels first.

These are the emeralds orloff

Quick.
I want the money now.

Wait.
No.

I want the money now.
I want to get
off this ship.

[ Habib ]
Will you come with me?
It's in my stateroom safe.

[ Stratos ]
No. I want
the money here, now.

that we turn back to iraklion.

You must do as they say,
of course.

But madame?

You should know by now
I always cooperate
with the police.

No one is to leave this ship.

we might as well
make the best of it.

served on the rear deck.

I'm so upset,

I shall have mine in bed.

Madame.

I'm sorry to inconvenience you,

but don't you think
the countess of fleet
would like her pendant?

You and I have not
even been introduced.

You didn't think
I was going to keep it,
did you?

to be one of my...

Oldest and dearest friends.

Thank you.

Come, shalimar.

Will someone please tell me
what's happening?

Good-bye, Alexis!
Thanks for everything!

You come back
