Well, I mustn't be late
for lunch, must I?
Who needed this,
Miss Ferris?
Well...
(Sighs)
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 coursse
I had to do something.
Up... up in the hills?
Uh-huh. Uh, look.
Up there.
He was awfully grateful.
He was an awfully
nice shepherd...
very old...
Well, you show me
where you left him.
I will make arrangements...
to have him carried
back to the village.
Oh, he could walk.
He walked away.
He's quite
all right now.
He walked?
With a broken leg?
Yes.
Well, good-bye.
Mr. Stratos,
uh...
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.
Oh...
Mr. Stratos,
I promise you.
He went over
the mountains to...
You are
a very bad liar!
You're also
a very stupid girl.
You've come to see
the beauties of Crete?
Let me show you one.
Let me go!
Leave me alone!
Let me go!
(Click)
You see?
There's no one here.
Mark! Mark, look out!
How much did
he tell you, huh?
Answer me.
How much do you know? w?
(Donkey braying)
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
If we see her there,
we'll tell her...
that you were worried.
Oh, I don't mind...
so long as
she's all right.
Hey, bon appetit,
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?
Why should I know? w?
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 these guns.
(Grunts)
I don't understand.
I'm afraid.
Please, Stratos,
whatever happened...
tell me the truth.
Mr. Camford went to Heraklion.
Miss Ferris lost her way.
What is the matter
with you?
Someone must have
taken these things.
Yes, the children
in the village...
the devil himself.
What do I care?
(Dramatic music playing)
I'll walk along the beach
and look for her.
I suppose you didn't
find out anything...
about my things.
(Breathing heavily)
STRATOS:
I'll watch the bay.You take the high country.
Search. Find him.
This time, when you shoot,
shoot to kill.
(Recorder playing)
(Whispering)
Alexis!
(Stops playing)
Over here!
Camford!
For crying out loud!
What are you doing
up here?
They said
you'd gone to Heraklion.
Listen, Alexis...
are you my friend?
Nay, nay, but what are
you doing up here?
Can you keep a secret?
Go back to the inn and
see if Nikky and her aunt...
to Aghios Nikolaos.
I want to be sure
they've 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're 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.
(Sheep bleating)
(Bells jingling)
Aah!
NIKKY:
Aah!Hello!
ALEXIS:
Did somebody scream?
Alexis?!
It's Nikky!
Help!
For crying out loud,
what you doing in there?
Get me out of here,
Alexis!
I'll get Mr. Camford!
We get you out all right!
Has my niece come back?
- No.
- Then it's true.
She must've
had an accident.
Perhaps she went
walking in the hills.
She's been gone all day!
(Speaking Greek)
Don't you understand?
Anything
may have happened.
She may be lying
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.
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've walked
up and down that beach...
until I thought I'd go mad.
Just a minute.
(Speaking Greek)
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.
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've 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 worked for honestly?
What do you know about me?
What I've 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 knowwhy?
You love your son.
You wouldn't want anything
Even you... would not do that.
Oh, yes, Sophia.
Even I would do just that.
Now get out of the way.
(Dramatic music playing)
Door locked!
Never been locked before.
All right, all right!
That looks like
the only way in.
That looks like
the only way in.
MARK:
What are you doing?
It's game we play.
Be careful!
I do many times.
I best on
Aghios Georgios.
Alexis!
(Speaking Greek)
I get too old to play
this lousy game.
Alexis!
Alexis!
Is she all right?
Nikky all right!
How'd you get in here?
