Sure:

Okay, I'll meet you at 1:00:

Hey, its all right:

Its okay:

It's okay:

All I can tell you is

I'm sorry for everything-

for everything I've put you through,

for everything I've done:

I almost lost you:

I haven't exactly been

the ideal wife myself:

Honey, the guilt is where it belongs-with me:

Let's leave it there, okay?

Okay, Larry:

Please, can't we go home?

- I just wanna go back to the States:

- Great:

Demeris gets back in a week,

at which time he gets this job back:

Oh, baby, we haven't spent five whole days

together since I got out of the service:

Before we go home,

let's see Greece: Really see it:

Oh, I'm sick of Greece:

I'm-

No, I mean, let- let's just

get away from here:

Let's spend some time together:

Oh, Cathy, I love you:

Oh, Larry, it's wonderful!

Look over here:

There's a little garden outside:

It even has a kitchen:

We can cook right here:

- Let me put these away, honey:

- Oh, I love it:

A little place to hang your coat:

Hello:

Uh, two tickets, please:

- Fifty drachmas:

- Ah, fine:
Thank you:

- Uh, one of these also, please:

- Ten drachmas:

- There:

- Thank you:

Thank you:

- Here we are:

- Fifty drachmas, and I will

give you the best guided tour:

- No, thank you:

- But it is- is advisable:

Some of the sections are poorly lit,

and it is dangerous!

- We'll be fine:
Thank you:

- Why don't you wanna get a guide?

Honey, it's a racket: All we need

is the pamphlet and this flashlight.

And we're in business:

- Everybody's leaving:

- We've got plenty of time:

- There's still over an hour till closing:

- Okay, well, let's hurry:

"When a stalactite growing

down from the ceiling.

"Meets a stalagmite

growing up from the floor.

A column or a pillar is created:"

- Whoo! Whoo!

- [Whistling]

Hello! Hello! Hello!

- [Whistling Continues]

- [Laughing]

- Larry, what time is it?

- Huh?

Hey, don't worry:

Look, we're only-

We've only been gone about 10 minutes:

Come on:

Let's, uh- Look at that: Let's go this way:

Look, look, look, look:

- You're having a good time, aren't you?

- Yeah:

That's nice:

The clerk at the hotel said

there were some new excavations:

There might be something interesting

down here:
Come on:

- Careful:

- [Chuckles]

- Hey, you hear the water?

- Uh-huh:

Here, let's try right down in here

and see what it is:

It looks like

a subway entrance to me:

Oh, nuts:

It's locked:

Well, that means we're not supposed to go here:

Come on:

Wait a minute:
Wait a minute:

Look over here:

Ah:
Let's try back in there:

That's an open doorway:

Come on:

- [Chuckles]

- Wow:
Look:

- Look at that:

- What-What are you doing?

- Larry-

- Come on:
It's just to keep kids out: Come on:

But, um- Larry, I really think

there's a reason that sign's there:

I think that water leads to the lake:

There's supposedly a lake back here:

Look, we'll give it

five more minutes:

If we don't find the lake in five minutes,

we'll go back, okay?

- Can I have that in writing?

- Yeah:

- All right?

- Uh-huh:

Put your feet where mine are:

You all right?

The clerk at the hotel said there was a lake

and there were cave paintings back here:

- Come on:
Let's go: Quickly: You all right?

- Yeah, right:

Oh, look:

It's beautiful:

Now, this is what he was talking about:

This is the lake:

- That's a lake?

- Yeah:

- Ah!

- Beautiful:

It is beautiful:

Thanks:

Hey:

Come on:
Those cave paintings

are around here somewhere: Let's find 'em:

Okay:

I've gotten us this far:

Keep your head down:

Just follow me:

I will lead you to your cave:

No!

You've gotta be kidding:

Slow down:
Slow down:

Ooh:
Looks like it's

starting to get dark again:

Yeah:
Well, he said the cave paintings

were on this side of the lake:

- So let's look around:

- Which way?

- Right through here:

- Okay:

- Shine it down the ramp:

- Yeah:

Look, a room:

Look at the ceiling: Come on:

Let's go further in:

- It's pretty, but l-

- Careful:

[Chuckles]

Oh!

Look at the ceiling:

[Catherine]

Its beautiful:

But I dont see any paintings:

Oh, look!

Hold it still and

I'll go look at it:

- I think we found something:

- Careful:

I am:
Whoa!

Look, Larry! We found "em!

Come here, honey: Come on up:

No, no, I can see them fine from here:

They're beautiful:

But you can't see the detail: Shine the light

up there:
I see a face or something:

[Gasps]

Look at that:
Its incredible! I dont believe-

These mustve been here

thousands of years:

Looks like some kind of

religious symbols or something:

Theres another person-

Like saints or some kind of a cross or something:

This must have been used for some kind of

religious occasions or who knows what:

I mean, it could have been a meeting place or-

[Gasps]

Larry, you scared me half to death:

Don't do that:

[Rustling]

Larry, answer me!

Larry, come on:
This isn't funny:

Turn the light back on:

[Screaming]

Larry! Larry!

You son of a b*tch!

Larry!

No! No!

[Screaming]

Larry!

[Sobbing]

Larry, you bastard!

Larry! Larry!

[Whimpering]

[Screams]

[Screaming]

[Thud]

[Thunder Rumbling]

[Man]

Its all right:
You are doing very, very nicely:

Everything is going to be

just fine, I promise you:

Thats good:

Relax:

Yes:

Cathy? Honey?

[Gasps]

Don't let him touch me:

- Don't let him touch me:

- Cathy-

- She's still in shock now:

- Please-

- Perhaps you had best wait in the next room:

- Get him away-

- Cathy, listen to me:

- Please, please!

- You must let me handle this:

- Please help me:

- Please call me if you need me:

- Don't- Get him away:

- [Man] Lie down: Lie down:

- No:
Please-

Lie down, please:

That's a good girl:

Now, I'm Dr:
Kazomides.

And I assure you,

youre going to be just fine:

- He tried to kill me:

- Who?

He left me in the caves to die:

Please-

Now, I assure you- I assure you

you've been through a terrifying ordeal:

I am going to give you

a mild sedative:

- No:

- And when you wake up, I promise you.

You're going to feel

much, much better:

No, please:
Don't put me to sleep:

You don't understand:

He'll murder me in my sleep:

Please:

But your husband is the one who led

the search party that found you:

- What?

- Yes:

He managed to get out,

and he immediately called the police:

Now, he acted quickly and well:

Now, turn over on your side,

please, carefully:

But-

Easy:

There we go:

[Thunderclap]

They should have closed

those damned caves:

This is the third accident

this season:

There:
All right:

Now, youre going to sleep now:

And I promise you,

I will be back in the morning:

[Door Opens, Closes]

- [Wind Howling]

- [Thunder Rumbling]

[Pounding]

Larry? Larry?

- Nobody saw me:
I had to see you:

- You're stupid to come here:

[Noelle] No one will know:

You must make it look like an accident:

[Larry]

How the hell do I do that?

What if anyone

were to see us together?

You must do it now while she is asleep:

Now, quickly!

We may never have another chance:

Please, Larry!

That's it:
I told you on the phone
