I'll just have to stop over for a moment.

Do you mind waiting?

won't be long.

Okay, let's go.

I need to rest.

I'm going to bed.

Why do we have to come here at night?

possible only at night.

How is he doing that?

I do not know.

Only he knows how to.

What ... or who were those?

They are the souls of the Lake.

Souls?

- Dead?

- Pretty dead.

They're almost three thousand years old.

Okay ...

I'm frightened

Can we please go home?

I'm younger than you are.

and I'm not scared.

They need our help.

Someone stole their statues from the lake.

They want them back.

thats why they're

asking for our help.

Watch out dad!

STOP!.

- Dad!

- What is it?

you alright.

Finish it off.

It's finished, relax.

Relax.

That's better, relax.

It's just a dream.

I keep about dreaming of the Lake.

Those statues.

Which statues?

I must see them.

You have them, don't you?

I must see them.

Alright.

I won't disturb him, I'm his daughter.

When the door is closed.

He doesn't wish to be disturbed

Lately.

Why is he always locking himself in?

You have the key too, right?

All of his archaeological finds are there

plus 20 years of

research.

It's natural he want's to

protect himself against thieves.

I am not a thief.

Eat your breakfast Jenny.

Don't worry, you're not my mother.

Jenny?

Do not close the door, promised

Lake statues show.

It wasn't a promise.

Come on Dad, you said!

Jenny!

I'm right in the middle ...

of analyzing and cataloging

Etruscan findings.

It is a task of extreme

precision and care.

Dad?

Nothing.

Finish your phone call.

Okay.

Good Morning.

Yes!.

My client code is ...

80116 ... ...

Yes, that's correct ...

Very good

Alright. Thank you Goodbye.

So ...

What did you want to talk to me about?

Nothing.

Are you ready to die?

And Peter Pan said ...

Even death can

be a marvelous adventure.

Okay.

That's enough.

I will read more next time.

Jenny, is everything alright?

It's just ...

I can't find those statues.

The door to my father's studio

is always locked.

You must find them, Jenny.

We have to give them back

to the souls of the Lake.

Jenny, you've got to check if

the statues are still there.

You must do it Jenny.

This dummy is right.

- You're the dummy.

- You must find a way to get in.

I know a way to get in.

Jenny?

Olga and I have to go to Arezzo,

Do you want to come?

No dad, I'm tired.

That's alright.

We'll bring you something nice

for supper, what would you like?

You decide.

Okay, I got something in mind.

Hope you like it.

Won't The Souls of Lake be happy.

They have been wanting them

for such a long time.

Yes.

Such a long time.

It was 20 years for them?

They have been under Lake

for over 3000 years.

When you lose something you care for

Even a single day is an eternity.

Aurora's right.

Aurora is right.

Anyhow

Jenny was ...

successfull and now ...

We'll go to the lake.

Great work Jenny.

room for hope.

The so-called "stoned man disease".

Over time, transformed

muscles and tendons ...

And certain organs to bone.

Condemning the patient ...

inevitable to death.

Something had to be done and i

decided to exterminate myself.

The only possibility ...

was to substitute

the organs when the symptoms

We have dedicated ourselves

... to keeping her alive.

Locked up in a room?

What kind of life is that?
