Original subtitles

Shit!

Ionian column.

Fifth century BC, is it not?

No, it happens to be third century BC, Doric.

So you're off the mark by a couple of hundred years, you ignorant bastard.

Leutnant Braun...

One never kills a cook.

Especially an Italian cook.

On this occasion we will spare Signor Rotelli.

And hang this man in his place.

Franz, ein Stuhl unter dem Vogel.

Und ein Seil.

Attention!

Professor Blake.

What is this incessant compulsion to escape?

It's a habit I picked up as a soldier during your first world war.

Please ask yourself, as a civilian, where would you be

if the benevolent arm of the F�hrer's Antiquarian Reclamation Unit

had not rescued you from your various internment camps?

I most certainly would not be looting Greece of all her art treasures.

Sergeant Judson?

In what swamp of despair would you be

if your circus-bred skills of climbing and rigging had not enticed me

into plucking you from your prison camp in the Fatherland?

As for you, Bruno Rotelli, if you were not a cook...

- I'm not a cook. - God knows, that is true.

I'm a racing driver, sometimes I sing.

I've a feeling your defection to the Allies must've been taken as a mixed blessing.

Now, listen to me!

We have three dead archaeologists here who cannot be replaced.

But please note, that did not deter sergeant Mann from shooting them.

So in the futire, in the interests of peace and harmony...

Harmony ain't what's about to happen.

Well, major Hecht, I am pleased to see

you are conducting a summary trial of these criminals.

Haven't you decided on punishment yet?

I was about to, major Volkmann.

Please, proceed.

As I was saying, to deter you from further disrupting the mission of this unit

you will immediately be confined to your sleeping quarters.

This camp exists for one purpose

to exhume priceless archaeological relics.

Anyone who interferes with this project, will pay dearly for it.

I suggest you confine them in here.

- Remove the grating. - Open it.

Jump in, men.

In the SS, we play no favourites.

Put the dead men in with them.

Do you wish me to give the order?

Herr major, let me remind you that

in this camp, I am in command.

You're quite right.

I have exceeded my authority.

Have they located the transmitter?

No, sir.

It takes 30 seconds to get a fix and the Greeks never transmit that long.

Bitte! Please...

Please come. This way, please.

Don't do that!

You don't care about any of this, do you?

I care that your Resistance heroes

have turned five girls into whores so they can spy on the Germans for you.

You know we have a date for an Allied naval invasion of the Aegean.

- Who's invading us this time? - How do I know?

- The British? The Americans? - The Germans are neater.

From a madam's point of view.

They just hang old men in the village square.

The Resistance, it has a specific target to take now.

All right.

Yes, the submarine refuelling depot.

- Real coffee, where did you get it? - Lieutenant Braun.

And how did you get it?

Follow me!

Heil Hitler!

Gesundheit! I hope it's not catching.

- Oh, Charlie! - Mamma mia, che meraviglia!

Hey!..

What are they doing down there?

Prisoners who tried to escape. Come!

They told me we were going to a country club.

Zur�ck, nein.

Enter!

- The Americans. - Charlie Dane. This is Dottie Delmar.

- Major Otto Hecht. - Great likeness. Great likeness!

- Louis Armstrong. - Yes, are you a jazz lover?

From 'King' Oliver on. Fancy looking junk you got there.

It is a fifth-century Aegean vase.

I would've sworn it was fourth century.

Looks expensive.

- You were shot down over the Adriatic? - That's right, on our way to a USO show.

I see you are a swimmer.

- Do you swim underwater? - What did you have in mind?

We need someone to explore the coastline for ancient art treasures.

I'm your man, major.

Aptly put.

And you, Mr... Dane?

What is your speciality?

I'm a stand-up comic, I do schtick, tell jokes.

I'm afraid there's no place

in the Antiquarian Reclamation Unit for a comedian.

But there is for a schvimmer?

Even if she were not a swimmer she would not be entirely useless.

Well, thank you, major.

Major Volkmann, in his next sweep, will be wishing to interrogate you.

- Is he another jazz lover? - He is a major...

...in the SS.

I could catalogue your art collection

write biographies of jazz immortals, tune up the motorcycles.

I do mending, washing, not too much...

Come. We shall see how things working on.

I can teach dancing. Limber them up after all that goose-stepping.

And Gershwin's An American in Paris...

Unfortunately Gershwin is forbidden in the Third Reich.

And not a moment too soon.

- Sergeant! - Herr major.

What took him so long?

Sergeant, you will take Mr Dane to barrack seven

and escort Miss Delmar to the guests' quarters next to the carpenter's shop.

- Jawohl, Herr major. - Jawohl.

I hope you won't mind the banging.

She never has.

Charlie!

I'm sure, they got a lot of loot in there. This Kraut could have a good thing going.

- Not everyone's as crooked as you are. - You wanna bet?

You will stay here.

I'll take a meet with you at downstairs in the bar just as soon as I freshen up.

Work! Please. Come.

- Who is it? - It's Zoe.

The kite is up.

Braun's trying to locate the radio again.

Well, he'll never find it where he's been looking.

You can change all that.

That's a commitment I'm not prepared to make.

Then stop complaining about it.

- Climb back to your monastery. - I intend to.

Is that part of your plan?

Now, look... You forget I said that.

Achtung! Gefreiter M�ller, das Licht in Baracke B ausschalten.

- Who is it? - Otto Hecht.

- Do I know you? - I am the commandant.

Sorry.

I have a tough time with names but I never forget a face.

Well, my dear Miss Delmar

I see you adapt quickly to new situations.

Everything in its proper place.

I always like to make things homey, you know

travelling a lot, the way we do.

We?

You and Charlie?

No, no! We... We in show business.

Charlie and I just met on this aquacade gig.

Aquacade? That is an American word I am not knowing.

It's... It's sort of like a wet Busby Berkeley routine.

Only it gives the farmers a chance to see a lot of floating boobs.

Boobs?

Would you like to sit down?

Thank you.

- Please. - No, go ahead.

- Why don't we, drink to something? - All right.

Like...

Like peace for the world.

- Prost. - Cheers.

Say, what's gonna happen to us?

To you... nothing.

I'm not so sure about your Jewish friend.

How do you know he's Jewish?

In the Third Reich, they assume everyone is Jewish

unless proven otherwise.

You have... nice thighs.

Thanks.

I would like to...

So what's stopping you?

I anticipate that you might.

I may look dumb, but I'm not stupid.

Something wrong?

You are not responding.

Honey, you said you wanted to...

I didn't say I did.

Well, I... do think that under the circumstances

you might cultivate a... little warmth.

Good night.

Aren't you going to take your wine back?

That would not be the act of a gentleman.

And blackmail is?

Only if it succeeds.

Good night.

- Where's the tunnel, professor? - I beg your pardon?

Come on, somebody's always digging a tunnel for escape through.

- Not here. - That's a relief.

It's not such a terrible spot to sit out the war.

No, and our Austrian commandant feels the same way.

- What is it? - That's about 200 BC

it's a miniature of some household god.

Probably off a lady's bedside table.

How do you know that?

I come from a long line of archaeologists.

You see, when the sun never set on the Empire, we looted with impunity.

Treasure from Egypt, porcelain from Peking, golden masks from Persia.

- Isn't that Hecht's racket? - Our commandant? Yes, well...

He used to be a dishonest art dealer in Vienna

so he has to be more careful.

The ordinary archaeological finds do go to Berlin

but anything of real value he ships to his sister in Switzerland.

What else?

This looks like one you found yesterday.

Yes, how clever of you are! You quit right.

They were made in sets of two, husband and wife.

How come everything is under the camp?

All off this was one beautiful temple of Neptune

and people then came to leave valuable offerings.

Prisoner Dane...

What happens if we run out the things we dig up?

We won't. We take precautions.

Prisoner Dane, report to the commandant's office.

Put him back to bed. Now you see him, now you don't.

Very neat. So, tell me, where's the real heavy stuff?

- Well, Charlie some... - You! Dane!

Major Hecht. Come!

If he could only stand up by himself without having to rely on me.

Are you still here?

It's not a bad life. Got a match?

- I'm so sorry. - Schwein!

- Hi, Fr�ulein! - Give 'em hell, baby!

Beautiful woman, sergeant. Your mother?

- My wife. - Nice dainty quality about her.

You're a man of exceptional taste, sergeant. Exceptional taste.

- Charlie? - Major.

Nice view.

Have you ever been to Hollywood?

I've played a few bits there.

Do you know... Ann Sheridan?

Do I know Ann Sheridan?

No.

Miss Sheridan is what they call the... oomph girl, is she not?

All the time.

- What is "oomph"? - "Oomph"?

It's the icing on the strudel, major.

That, then, is the area I would like to be discussing with you.

In the matter of Miss Delmar.

Your status here does not permit you connubial privileges.

- So far. - Consider it a closed door.

However, there is no reason that we all must suffer.

Certainly not.

- Idle machinery rusts. - Precisely.

Now, given the uncertainty of your position here...

I thought you might need a social director, you know

a bingo club, teach the tango, put on shows, I do a fabulous Jolson.

You ain't heard nothin' yet!

You... You have my permission.

Terrific, you'll have the grooviest camp in the mountains.

Now... Back to the question of 'oomph'.

- I thought that was going fine. - On the surface, yes.

But...

Well, it's hard for some ladies to fake it.

Well, she could look upon it as...

theatre.

I don't know, major. A jazz lover like you stooping to this.

The spoils of war, my friend.

Have the girls heard anything about those two Americans?

No, what about them?

They may have been planted by the Germans

I'm waiting now to hear from Allied intelligence.

We may have to kill them.

- Yes? - It's Zoe.

If he's from the prison camp, you take him.

- It's Braun. - Braun.

- With or without his truck? - With.

Don't get upset, you don't have to be jealous of him

- ...when he's with his truck. - It's the truck that upsets me.

Hecht's got his girl and he doesn't seem to mind at all.

He minds.

I don't trust him.

Telling bad jokes doesn't make a man a collaborator.

- I thought for the finale... - It would be nice, Charlie...

if Dottie will sing 'Lili Marleen'.

You got it, babe.

- How's business? - Berlin is satisfied.

Are you?

We've found some things of main historical interest.

You would not be here if that's all there was to find.

I'm not sure you're meaning that a compliment.

Bubula, from me, it's a compliment.

The real treasures are up there. In a monastery on Mount Athena.

- Triptychs. - Triptychs.

Icons, jewelled, carved in gold.

Byzantine masterpieces.

- And, of course, the plates. - What plates?

Gold plates.

Two-headed eagles in bas-relief

commissioned by Constantine VI in 790 AD.

Worth how much?

- 10 million. - Marks?

- Swiss francs. - But that's two...

- That's two million bucks! - Yes.

And, when we win this war, I will liberate those treasures.

You won't win this war.

Well, then I am quite sure that you...

will liberate them.

I enjoy your company... Bubula?

And I love you too, Otto.

Thanks for the airing and the smoke.

Is that you, Otto?

Who else?

You!

Out.

Slowly.

Sergeant, I'm taking this Greek in for a curfew violation.

- You drive. - Sir.

- Get in the car. - But I just going to...

Get in the car!

Die Bremse ist kaputt! Ich kann den Wagen nicht halten!

Herr Leutnant! Herr Leutnant!

Wir rennen ins Munitionslager!

Ich kann den Wagen nicht halten!

Oy gevalt.

Did you ever make it with a German girl?

- No, not yet. - Don't.

Charlie?

- Nous? - You're in the club.

Smashing!

I'll need two parking spaces, registry for a foursome on Sunday mornings

I'm a singles man on the course.

- Come on, don't you ever give up? - What do you want me to do?

Kill.

- So there is going to be a tunnel? - No, Charlie.

We're gonna break in, not out.

I don't get it.

- We're going to take over the camp. - Whose cockamamie idea is that?

The Greek Resistance.

Professor, if we live to take this camp over, what we're gonna do with it?

They'll let us know.

Now, here's the camp. The explosives are there.

- And your job... - I think I'll resign from this club.

I don't think you wanna do that.

- Wait a minute, Otto. - It's Charlie.

Sorry.

You win a few, you lose a few, you seem to be travelling first class.

Come on, I'm just not a tragic figure.

I make do, you above all people should understand that.

- Dig, dig, dig. - I'm not attacking you, honey.

It's the way we are, that's why we're partners.

Well, hear this, partner. We're joining the army.

- Is our army here? - No, their army's here

we're gonna hit them and take over the camp.

Yeah? What will they be doing in the meantime?

They'll be watching you strip. We'll put on a show for them.

Do I have to take my clothes off for Germans?

Today Otto, tomorrow the world.

- Does anyone have to get hurt? - Probably. So what?

Because Otto's been very good to us.

Well, maybe you should tell...

Tell him, give him a little advanced notice.

- You wouldn't still be here without him. - I'll keep it in mind.

What are you guys going to do afterwards?

Climb to the monastery and do a little select looting

before your friend gets it all.

That's my baby.

Hey... Charlie...

You want to kiss and make up?

How about just kiss?

You don't have to play tough guy with me.

- Charlie? - Yeah?

- Can you make it? - How quickly they forget.

There's two million bucks in gold up there.

For that kind of money I'd climb the Empire State Building.

If you saw that Braun was toxicated, why did you not help him?

I tried to, but I was afraid of him.

Prior to my command, had a woman ever been executed here?

- No, sir. - We need to set a dramatic example.

- This one will be the first. - She's only a prostitute

being serviced by our troops.

It may not upset the locals.

A housewife would be upsetting, it implies virtuous women can be next.

- When do you want it done? - Immediately.

And put this on the loudspeakers:

if the murderer of Leutnant Braun does not surrender within the next 48 hours

ten more citizens of Karya will be shot?

'Achtung! Achtung!

Wenn der M�rder von Leutnant Braun sich nicht innerhalb 48 Stunden

freiwillig stellt, werden zehn weitere Einwohner erschossen.

You didn't have to kill Braun!

I'll be the judge of that.

I almost paid him off. He was satisfied with it!

We cannot rely on that indefinitely.

Are we going to kill the two Americans next?

No, they've been cleared.

How merciful!

And do your superiors know what personal reason you had for killing Braun?

What kind of a man do you think I am?

We'll find out now.

Are you going to let them shoot ten more people

to save your own skin?

- No one will be killed. - I don't believe you.

You'll see.

There's a plan.

Will you give yourself up if it doesn't work?

No.

You're a pig!

Zoe's death will be avenged.

I hope so. Because if I have to, I'll turn you over to Volkmann myself.

Exquisite. Absolutely exquisite.

Thank you, professor.

And it does confirm our theory about the great disparity

of the time line in this dig.

That is second-century BC.

90% of the rest of the finds are from the Christian era.

You're right.

We've run into the antique collection of a first-century Greek.

It's a sobering thought, isn't it?

2.000 years ago some rich merchant

looked upon that as ancient times.

- Thank you, professor. - Good night, major.

I shall tell sergeant Mann you are free to drop in whenever you feel like it.

Thank you.

All right. Pick them up.

What's that?

Early Christman present from the Resistance to the Krauts.

- What's it for? - A little herb that grows around here.

They call it Socrates' Revenge.

And now, direct from a smash run engagement

of one night at 'La Scala'

the greatest Italian voice since Mussolini

our own Bruno Rotelli.

Hello. This one looks really quite rare, don't you think?

Looks like... early Harrods.

- Was ist los? - He stepped in front of the bus

it wasn't our fault, I'm sorry...

K�mmer dich um den Mann. Beeil dich.

Get the gate.

They love you! They love you!

Get out of here!

Get out of here.

- Nein, nein. - Fritz, relax. It's only a walk.

Watch the ball, watch the ball.

Now, I put it in this hand like this, right?

But look... the ball is gone.

So she says to the bartender: "I didn't mind the first two guys"

"but the one in the fur coat was a little rough"

"and I think he ought to cut his nails".

You see, she thought the bear was another guy, wearing a fur coat.

And now, gentlemen, the lady we've all been waiting for

America's answer to Lili Marlene

the star of stage, screen, radio

industrial shows and aqua pura

direct from the Radio City Music Hall

the Roxy Theatre and the Brooklyn Paramount

The lovely, the fabulous, the fantastically terrific

Miss Dottie Delmar.

Come on, guys!

Come on boys, get your hands out of your pockets!

Let's give the lady some encouragement!

Let's hear it, guys! Yeah!

Sergeant, will you sit down?

You'll find yourself on the Russian front!

Hey, wer hat meine Hose geklaut?

You wanna see some more?

Catch!

Hope they don't kill us.

Thank you gentelmen.

You'll never know how much we deeply appreciate your cooperation.

Now, let's bring it on for sergeant Mann!

Sergeant, sergeant...

Sergeant Mann, you are one cool cat.

Now, sergeant, can I correctly assume

that there is no way on earth that I can, with a simple wave of my fabric

remove your automatic from your holster into my hand?

- Am I correct? - There's no way.

Shoo-bop she-boop.

- And I'll be damned. - Bravo, bravo!

Hands on your heads! Commandant, give the order

to surrender arms or you'll be the first to go.

Surrender your weapons.

Professor, I hope you know what you're doing.

All of you.

Those weapons flew

at the supersonic speed of 3300 km/h.

And had a range of 200 km.

You can see from these Allied pictures

their devastating effect on the city of London.

Yes, that's enough.

Pull the curtains.

And our new weapon has even greater significance.

When directed at the fleet of Allied ships it could achieve in moments

what conventional coastal artillery could not achieve in days.

That is all, gentleman. Unless there are any questions?

Have some more tea, help yourself to the biscuits.

Why do you have do anything to major Hecht?

For one thing, he's invaded my country.

What is it with this woman, professor?

She's right.

We need Hecht to ensure Volkmann doesn't find out what happened here.

Maybe I can persuade him?

It's alright. I doubt it'll work, but you have my permission to try.

Permission? Look, I didn't do all this fighting

just to change from Krauts to Greeks.

What fighting?

How long do you think it'll take Volkmann to find out

what's happen, even with Hecht?

- We have other plans. - So do I.

Really? What would they be?

I want to climb up to that monastery on Mount Athena.

- Really? Why? - I'm an art lover.

- We all are, but there are priorities. - Wait a minute...

You are not stupid if not to suppose we can climb all the way to that monastery

without Volkmann's troops noticing us.

We, Rotelli?

You too? You're an art lover?

Nat, I want a word with major Hecht.

Something like 'better luck next time'?

- That was very well done. - Thank you.

Obviously we need Volkmann to go on thinking everything's in order here.

- Obviously. - So, we want you to tell him that it is.

You are assuming, professor, that, because a man steals from his country

he will also betray it?

No, that would make anybody tax fiddler a potential traitor.

Then let me ask you something else, professor

How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot?

Fortunately, it's not.

I'll make it easy for you.

If you don't help us, Zeno will kill you.

You are allied with him. Will you share that responsibility?

- With difficulty. - And there's no other alternative?

- What happened? - Nothing yet.

He's making up his mind.

Thank you.

It would have been a frightful waste.

You all know Otto, he's really a good kid.

Not that good.

What is it you wish me to do?

In 18 hours, Volkmann intends to shoot ten people.

That will not happen.

And the Germans will be put out of action on this island.

Just like that?

I've discussed it with the professor and he agrees it's entirely feasible.

- And then we can go up to the monastery? - Charlie!

- Charlie, you sure got a one-track mind. - Our mission is to take the village

and the refuelling depot, so that German submarines

would not be able to function against the Allied invasion fleet.

After that, I don't care what you do.

Except, and listen very carefully, gentlemen

the treasures of Athena are the property of the Greek people.

We shall begin by infiltrating the brothel in the village.

I find it disgusting, major Hecht

but I'm sure you don't wish to see your so-called soldiers

expire of terminal priapism.

Permission granted.

Done.

Now it's up to you.

Imagine that Austrian antique dealer

wanting his country club guards to visit a whorehouse before breakfast!

Leutnant, have the men dismount.

Absteigen!

- Absteigen? - Absteigen!

- Herr major? - Ja?

There will be executions this morning

therefore major Volkmann asks that your men be present and armed.

Please inform the Herr major that we shall be delighted

to lend our presence to the occasion.

Im Laufschritt, marsch!

Dreht rechts!

- Hey, Zeno. - Yes?

- So long as we're here... - The voice of Italy.

Go downstairs, take the prisoners into the basement.

Abteilung, links um!

Blake will be attacking the oil depot soon.

Rotelli, you and your men take up your positions.

Remember, short bursts, Charlie.

Not rat-tat-tat-tat like in the gangster movies.

- Yes, sir. - The barrel heats up.

Rat-tat-tat. Not rat-tat-tat-tat.

- What's he telling him? - What's he telling him?

That he likes matzo ball soup. What's he telling him?

Ganze Abteilung... Halt!

Rechte Reihe einen Schritt vor!

Links um!

Linie bilden!

Waffen entsichern!

Eagle four, Eagle four, this is Swordfish.

Position X-ray 42, yellow grid.

Will give you ETA later.

Eagle four to Swordfish.

Channel nets will be open, use tanks one and two.

Ihre Papiere, bitte.

Alert the frogmen to prepare for entry.

Yes, sir.

Is it safe?

There's no one at the oil pumps, so we should be all right

until the next submarine shows up.

- Herr Hecht's too close to him. - That's his problem.

- Beeilt euch. - Ja.

Kommt von dem Wagen runter. Los, dalli.

Eleana, you take over. We're going downstairs.

Los, an die Wand.

Legt an!

Oh, Christ.

Get to the radio!

Get him!

Stop that man!

I assume that everything went well in the village.

- For your country or mine? - For mine.

There's no such thing as country, major.

Only rivers, mountains, houses and people.

- Country is an abstraction. - You don't really believe that, do you?

- No. - Thank you for trying.

- You seem to be in good shape here. - I'm not sure. Look.

Here's today's log. Now, what does this entry mean?

There is a U-boat out there somewhere, coming in for refuelling.

- What's in here? - The key to the monastery.

What does it say?

"Athena. Goddess of war, wisdom and music".

Like you, a very confused goddess.

- What does that mean? - Wait a moment.

Looks like...

- Looks like it's pretty good here? - Not a bad show.

Element of total surprise all of that, what?

Dig him.

So, when do we hit the monastery and get rich?

There's a problem, Volkmann may have radioed for help.

- Where to? - Where is the problem.

That's why Zeno's dragging his heels, or so he says.

The Allied invasion here has been advanced 30 days.

That's a week from today.

And I'm to act immediately.

- Charlie! Rotelli! Up here! - What's our Greek mother want now?

Coming, mother.

I've got good news.

Volkmann, he didn't transmit anything.

Or if he did, nobody was listening.

- How do you know? - How do I know?

This is how I know.

Allied intelligence in Turkey monitors this area.

So, we're staying out here till the invasion?

Well, we could...

have lots of time to climb to the monastery.

You certainly change your mind fast, Zeno.

The last I heard it was out of bounds.

"The treasures are the property of the Greek people".

- Yeah. - That's right.

Listen lady, the first troops that land here, regardless of race, creed, colour

or national origin are gonna steal everything that get in their hands on.

It might as well be us.

- You feel the same way? - Monks will be conned by someone.

- Rotelli? - I agree with both.

All right. We'll have to climb up

carrying heavy weapons and explosives.

For a bunch of monks?

Well, they may have taken the treasure, buried it and sealed it.

I understand dynamite, but why the fancy hardware?

There's still a war going on, Charlie.

You know something, I don't really trust you, mom Ze.

But I'm more greedy than I am cautious.

- When do we start? - Right now, if you'd like.

- What have you got? - Submarine surfacing. Zone three.

20 degrees southwest of the depot.

'This is Swordfish, ETA 13:13. Over.

Tell him we have a fuel leak.

- They won't believe it. - Tell him!

Eagle Four, this is Swordfish, do you read me?

Eagle Four, this is Swordfish...

Swordfish, Swordfish, Eagle four.

Can't believe some people do this for fun.

Will proceed to Eagle Six as alternate. Over and out.

How will I immobilise this place?

There are some things you must find out for yourself.

We have a few limpet mines.

Dottie?

Five metres... Can you get down about 18 feet without equipment?

Well, I guess so. Anything for the war effort.

First open the barrels, then set the mines

and I hope there are no underwater surprises.

- Hey, what's all that? - It looks like transmitting equipment to me.

- For a bunch of monks? - Wonder what they do with it?

Maybe they got a early morning talk show.

"Morning folks, this is Brother Zoltos speaking to you on orthodoxy at high altitudes".

The Germans must have some sort of installation in the monastery.

- At least try to sound surprised. - Are you saying...

He's saying you took us up here

for reasons that are nothing to do with what we're looking for.

- Right. - So am I.

All right.

There's a communications centre.

When they find out something is wrong down there, they'll radio for help.

We have to knock it out.

- How many man are in there? - There can't be too many.

I suppose you've worked out some sort of plan?

Carefully.

We ought to throw you down there.

- Then you woudn't get your golden plates. - My golden plates...

If something happens to me...

In 20 years from now, when the Germans are selling Volkswagen all over the world

I'm going to be very angry, Zeno.

It can't be for one of us.

- Hey, maybe it's your agent? - Really? No.

Jawohl. Ja, alles normal hier.

Ja, ja, geht in Ordnung. Ja, gut.

Jump! Jump!

Nice of them to make it easy to climb down.

Make sure you only touch it with your boots.

Now...

Halt!

- Zeno, my silencer doesn't fit. - Shut up!

My silencer doesn't fit!

Is this your idea of not too many? One, two, three, four...

There's a whole army down there!

- Take off the lid. - Hexaclyde II?

- Sounds like a stain remover. - That's close.

When they wake up there'll be a change of management.

Hold your breath.

Nat�rlich.

Dankesch�n.

The radio's dead, sir.

... zu Hause. Die Kinder fragen jeden Tag...'

Depot, this is Athena, come in.

Call the air base at Crete.

Crete, this is Athena, come in.

What's next?

Not too many now, are there?

I can't raise Crete either, sir.

- Let's go. - For the treasure?

- Yes. - Great!

- Check the antenna. - Yes, sir.

Halt! Halt!

- Here you are. - Thank you.

- Lantz. - Sir?

Put the garrison on alert.

- Supervise the manning of all stations. - Sir.

Zeno, are we getting close to the treasure yet?

- Schroeder speaking, sir. - Phase one.

- Is that where they keep the treasure? - Quiet.

You lied! You lied to us!

Zeno, what's going on?

With tap shoes, they could do music hall.

Shut up! For once, will you shut up?

You lied to us. You liar!

You son of a bitch!

Well, now you know what you're really doing up here.

You'll be a hero, Charlie. Big decorations.

We're going to stop the invasion fleet being blown out of the water.

So the invasion is on.

In a few days.

I don't get it. What are they doing with that thing now?

I wouldn't worry about your share of the loot.

- Zeno can be trusted. - I'm not worried about that, professor.

I am worrying about what else he has got them into.

Nothing they can't get out of, I assure you.

Ok... Let's stop that thing and get out of here.

Hold it! You hit that liquid oxygen, you blow us all back to the village.

Sorry.

Nat, the opening in the wall, the cross...

That's the missile room. Throw these in as far as you can.

All right. If I get clear, follow me.

Come on, come on!

Holy cow!

Ok, where's the gold? Where's the gold plates?

- Can't you ever stop? - Never!

Would you mind if we liberated a few monks first?

Go find them, will you, Nat?

OK, Nat, you find the monks

you're an equal partner along with Otto and the professor.

Zeno, where is the treasure? Where are the gold plates, Zeno?

At the end of the tunnel to the right.

Quickly. Move, move, quick!

You get the feeling someone's been here before?

This place is programmed to self-destruct and the timer is running.

Did you hear that, Charlie?

Charlie, we gotta go.

Charlie, the place is gonna blow up!

Let's get out oh here!

Leave me alone! I gotta get this open!

You're crazy!

Charlie!

Good timing.

Heil Hitler.

Now you can get out of the brothel business.

I don't know.

With the Germans gone, you'll have to.

Greeks... they don't pay.

They don't have to.

I only hope your treasures survived the total destruction of the monastery.

Without question. Because they are hidden

in the so-called house of pleasure.

In the...

You don't have to actually tell me where the plates are hidden

just point me in the general direction.

We don't really want the treasures, all we wanna do is copy them.

And if I'm getting close, I'm going right you say "Charlie, you're getting hot!"

But if I'm not going right direction, say "Cold".

May I see them? I assure you I only want to look.

- I intend you to, professor. - Thank you.

- I'll be your representative in New York. - I'll be your representative in Roma.

- Another drink? - None of this will be possible, gentelmen!

Otto, take me inside!

I've always wanted to see where people go when they want to...

How typical of nice girls.

Charlie!

Charlie, we've been looking all over for you.

We've got to celebrate, the war's almost over!

What's to celebrate, for God's sakes?!

We haven't found any treasure and it looks like I'm losing my partner.

You're not so much losing a partner as gaining one.

- You're going to join my act? - No.

I hope that you both will join mine.

Please, let me explain.

Switzerland ain't just cuckoo clocks, chocolates and watches.

I have there treasures I have looted... collected from all over Europe.

My plan is, we will make flawless copies

which you will be responsible for selling in America.

And maybe even sell some back to the Greeks.

I could start a mail order, sell to museums.

Dottie could do door-to-door soliciting.

I'd like that.

We will not be selling to museums, let's stick to my area.

Because being an antiquarian, this is something...

You can handle the museums.

I think we should incorporate... give us a name.

Golden Oldies.

Chutzpah Incorporated! What a team!

Gentlemen, over here, let me show you.

This building was the headquarters of the Greek Resistance.

It is now a state museum, housing Byzantine treasures

including the famous plates from Mount Athena.
