Well, he must have
liked you.
NIKKY:
Why?He wouldn't have asked you
to go swimming.
He is nice, isn't he?
V ery.
You sound undecided.
He's charming.
I think he's
a little mysterious.
Why?
I don't know.
Just an impression.
Oh, turn out the light,
will you?
(Dramatic music playing)
I do love you, Aunt Fran.
Thank you for always
being there.
FRANCES:
Good night,my darling.
(Turns off engine)
(Rocks falling)
Aah!
(Starts engine)
Good morning.
Good morning, Nikky.
Oh, Alexis, could I have
some of that...
to take with me
this morning?
Lovely day, isn't it?
You must be tired
after such a big wedding.
It was a wonderful dinner,
too... really wonderful.
Thank you.
Oh, I hate
to bother you...
but could I have
some tea or coffee?
I don't have tea.
I'll make you coffee.
My aunt's still sleeping.
Is Mr. Camford down yet?
Mr. Camford?
Yes. We're going
swimming this morning.
Um...
I wondered if
he was anywhere about.
SOPHIA:
He's gone.Gone? Where?
To Heraklion.
He left by the early bus.
But he can't have.
Didn't he leave a message
or a note or anything?
No, nothing.
Oh, but l...
Thank you.
(Dramatic music playing)
(People chattering)
(Bird cawing)
(Door creaks)
(Exhales noisily)
Aah!
(Labored breathing)
Mark.
Mark?
Mark, it's Nikky.
(Grunts)
Oh, uh...
(Whispering)
Hello.
(Whispering)
What are you doing here?
They said you'd gone.
I, um...
(Whispering)
I'm...
I must have
fallen asleep.
Your arm.
What's happened?
Ohh!
Wait a minute.
What time is it?
About half past 10:00.
Thank you.
They said you'd gone
to Heraklion...
but I felt
something was wrong.
How did you get in here?
just... just before dawn.
(Sighs)
Sorry.
I'll go get some help.
No, Nikky, listen.
Please listen.
Did you have a fight
with someone?
Look, if you want
to help me...
go back to the inn
and bring me some clothes.
Anything. And... and, uh...
something to eat.
I've got to get out of here.
You must see
a doctor first.
- I'll get Aunt Fran.
- Nikky...
And then we'll
find some people...
to carry you back.
Will you please listen?
I don't want anyone
to know you found me here.
Not anyone.
Not even your aunt.
Do you understand?
But Mark,
someone's tried to kill you.
We must get the police.
The last thing I want
at the moment is the police.
Please...
tell me what happened.
You'll find some clothes
in my room.
And if you can...
swipe a bottle
of brandy from the bar.
I'm cold all over.
Here.
Oh...
l... I always fancied
myself in pink.
Mark?
You've got to tell me.
Was it Stratos?
Look...
either do as I ask
or beat it...
'cause I haven't got
the strength to explain.
All right.
I'Il... I'll be back
as soon as I can.
OK. Good girl.

(Clapping and music fades)
(Birds cawing)
Mr. Stratos,
may I speak to you?
Go ahead.
Please don't
misunderstand me...
but I've just been
up to my room.
My travelling rug
appears to have vanished.
Oh?
It was folded
across the bed.
I wonder if
you've any idea...
what might have
become of it.
Travelling rug?
Ask my sister.
Also my first aid kit.
First aid kit?
FRANCES:
In a boxwhich was so big...
with iodine and bandages.
One never uses it...
but I always
take it with me...
in case of emergencies.
Emergencies?
Perhaps your niece
took these things...
with her this morning.
It's hardly likely
that she'd take...
a travelling rug
on a day like this.
in any need of bandages.
Do you know
where she went?
Mr. Camfordpromised
to take her swimming.
I suppose she must have
gone off somewhere alone.
Mr. Camford.
Yes. He always went
to the Bay of Dolphins.
I will look into
this matter at once.
If she has not your things,
I will ask in the village.
Don't worry.
They will be returned.
(Dramatic music playing)
Mark?
Mark?
- Hmm?
- (Gasps)
(Sighs)
What on earth
are you doing in there?
Well, at least it's not
so drafty as that floor.
(Panting)
Here.
Oh, brandy.
Nikky, you are marvelous.
Oh, Mark,
I've had an awful time.
All your things
have vanished.
Your room
was completely bare.
Oh, I should've
guessed that.
Mark, will you please
get out of that thing?
It gives me
the absolute creeps.
(Grunting)
- Mind your head.
- Yeah.
It's all right.
All right. Sit here.
Come here. Come.
Sit down there.
Oh, found your shoe
on the beach.
Oh, marvelous.
(Sighs)
Now let's see.
Ow.
Oh.
- Careful.
- Yes, yes, all right.
There. See?
It's all right.
Crikey. Hope I can
remember what to do.
I was always bottom
at first aid at school.
That's encouraging.
Um...
it was
the reverse spiral...
In cases of
multiple fracture...
I'm not multiply
fractured yet.
All right.
Now keep calm.
I am calm.
You better have
some more brandy.
This is bound to hurt.
Mmm!
Oh, don't do that!
(Grunts)
I wonder if there's
anything in there...
I ought to dig out.
Look, whatever's
in there, leave it.
Now hold that.
That's right.
Don't move it.
Did Stratos actually
try to kill you?
Don't ask questions.
at the inn just now.
I nearly fainted.
Are you sure
he didn't see you?
No. No.
I'm sure he didn't.
All right.
Please tell me
what happened.
I don't want you
to become involved.
You've got to go
to the police.
If he finds you,
he might try it again.
Well, look,
that's my affair.
Now... nowwhat
you've gotta do, uh...
is... is clear out
of Aghios Georgios.
You see? You take
the afternoon bus...
with your aunt
to Aghios Nikolaos.
Do you understand? Now put
that down... put that down.
But why us?
You're the one
who's in trouble.
If he knew
you've been helping me...
he might take
a potshot at you.
Mark, whatever
is going on?
You've got
to get out of here.
Well, I'm not gonna
leave you here like this.
You need help.
You've given me
all the help I need.
Just stop
ordering me about!
Up the steps. March!
- Hurry up. Come on.
- Mark!
Will you please
be reasonable?
You look wretched
and white.
You'll only faint in the sun
or fall off a cliff.
I'm perfectly OK, Nikky.
Thank you for
everything you've done.
See you at Aunt Agatha's
next Tuesday.
Mark!
Scram!
(Grunts)
You deserve to die
a horrible, lingering death...
and I hope you do!
MARK:
Beat it!(Slams)
(Dramatic music playing)
(Gasps)
Ah, Miss Ferris.
Your aunt has been
worried about you.
Oh, I'm on my way
back to the inn now.
Where have you been
all morning?
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?
Not many.
In fact, none.
