Just lie still.
Mark!
I don't knowwhat
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 the 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.
Now, lie down!
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!
(Fireworks)
Will you explain to them?
We have a sick man
who must go to hospital!
(Speaking Greek)
(Honking horn)
Hoo hoo ha ha ho!
(Marching band playing)
Mark!
Mark!
Mark!
Mark...
Mark!
Mark, stop!
(Dramatic music playing)
NIKKY:
stop!Stop!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Stop the boat, will you?
I want to get on!
Stop!
Stop it!
Will you stop?
I want to get on!
It's very important!
(Speaking Greek)
(Knock on door)
MADAME HABIB:
Come.(Leopard growling)
Madame,
there's a young woman...
in a motorboat alongside.
She's signaling
to come aboard.
What sort of
a young woman?
CAPTAIN:
A young woman.
I don't recall
any mention of a young woman...
in the arrangements.
Bring her on board,
and we'll see.
Yes, madame.
Thank you.
(Leopard growling)
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?
in my life.
You're dripping
all over my carpet.
Oh, I'm sorry.
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 asked
to take them to her...
and 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...
ah-ah-choo!
Thank you.
Now please explain,
what emeralds?
Please, may I sit down?
Sit.
Aunt Frances and I
were on a holiday...
and we went
to Aghios Georgios...
to record some songs
for the BBC.
And Mark was there.
There was a wedding...
and the next day
I found him in the crypt.
He'd been attacked by Stratos.
Stratos?
He's the man
with the emeralds.
- So I helped him.
- Who?
Mark. I had to.
shut me in the windmill.
He was gonna kill me...
I think, but Mark
and Alexis got me out.
Who is Alexis?
He's a boy
from the village.
He's got a donkey.
Oh, 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?
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...
ah-choo!
I think I need a drink.
Oh, 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...
Ah-ah-choo!
Who else knows
about these emeralds?
Uh, my... my Aunt Frances.
Well, I had to tell her.
And where is she?
Well, she's in a hearse
at the airport.
Drink.
What is it?
It may 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 is 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?
When I knew Mr. Gamble,
he was not the Consul.
He was a dealer
in antiquities.
And you knowwhat you are?
You are an imposter!
Me?
You are the girl...
from that English
children's book...
who walked through the glass...
into a world
full of crazy people.
And do you knowwho I am?
I am the March Hare.
(Knock on door)
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.
Hmm.
I have known
many strange people...
in my life...
but you are
the most incredible.
(Dramatic music playing)
(Engine starts)
Uhh!
(Dramatic music playing)
(Speaking Greek)
For crying loud out.
Hey, my Uncle Stratos
kill Mr. Camford.
What?
(Speaking Greek)
We go now to the Bay
of Dolphins. Quick!
Where's Nikky?
Don't know. No time now.
Alexis, wait.
She's with him.
She's with Mr. Camford.
Come, then.
Boats go now. Quick!
(Shouting in Greek)
You are lucky I don't
throw you overboard...
for the sharks!
Ohh. What was it
you gave me to drink?
I feel all sort of
far off and lofty.
You know, sort of
rather lofty-softy.
(Knock on door)
Come!
We've dropped anchor,
Madame...
off the Bay of Dolphins.
Is there anyone?
CAPTAIN:
He's coming aboard.
Come here.
No, wait a minute. Maybe
you'll like this one better.
"It was
the schooner Hesperus
"that sailed
the wintry sea...
uh..."and the skipper would
take this little daughter..."
In there!
And don't make a sound!
Above all, don't sneeze.
But what are you going
to do to me?
I have not decided.
You know something? You're
rather a dear little thing.
I mean it!
(Knock on door)
MADAME HABIB:
Come.(Growling)
Be quiet, Charlemagne.
Come here.
Are you the man
from Mr. Gamble?
I am.
Have you brought
his jewels?
Yes.
Well?
Show them to me.
STRATOS:
You have the money?
I must see
the jewels firsst.
(Gasps) Oh!
These are the emeralds...
Orlov brought
to Catherine the Great...
from the Crimea.
Part of the Turkish ransom.
MADAME HABIB:
What magnificence.
Quick,
I want the money now.
Wait.
No. I want the money now.
I want to get off this ship.
MADAME HABIB:
Will you come with me?
