New York, or wherever you want to go.

You don't have to babysit me.

I have to take you back myself.

I have to talk to her.

You do love me.

I see it in your eyes.

Why are you trying to stop it?

Frau doctor. Telephone.

Elizabeth!

Where are you?

I was waiting for you yesterday.

Tomorrow?

What?

No, I was really glad that you didn't

hitchhike. Tell me, is Kurt with you?

Is everything all right?

Yes. They're all here in front of me.

Oh, I can't wait to see you.

There's so much more to

be seen around here.

I mean, it would be criminal

not to go to Delphi.

What's the rush?

Athens is terrible in the summer.

Have you ever been there?

No.

- So what's the big rush?

Well, your mother's waiting for you.

I wanna be with you.

I don't understand you.

Why do you want to get rid of me?

Sabeth!

Leave me alone! You don't have to

follow me. Go back to your drink. Go!

Sabeth!

- Go away!

Sabeth, come here!

Go!

Sabeth!

- Leave me alone.

Help!

Help!

Sabeth.

Sabeth!

Help!

Over here!

Wait!

Hey!

There's a truck Wait! Wait!

Wait!

I got somebody hurt down near there. Snake

bite. I need to get her to the hospital.

Where are you going? How far? How far?

Take this watch. The watch. Take it!

We got this truck.

Here. We got the truck.

Okay, where is this now?

Where the hell are we?

Is this the road to the center?

Do you know your way around here?

Can we ask somebody where the hospital is if

you don't know? Can we ask somebody? Okay?

Where's the hospital?

Where's a doctor?

We need help here!

How is she?

We must hope for the best.

She's alive though?

Yes.

The doctor was here just now. He says

it was most likely a snub nose viper.

Any case, the mortality from

snakebites is only 3-10%.

Here.

Drink your tea.

How did it happen?

I tried to talk to her

but she was so confused...

...I couldn't understand

what she was saying.

How long has she been in Greece?

Since yesterday, I think.

So, you're the older gentleman

she met on the boat?

We travelled together.

Drink your tea.

How long you been wearing glasses?

Now, let's get a look at you.

Mr. Faber is a friend of mine.

Just for a minute.

Come. Let her sleep.

Sabeth.

Walter. Please.

What did you call her, Sabeth?

So, how long have you

been living in Athens?

For years. Elizabeth went to school here.

Why don't you sit down?

Looks like you actually became

an archaeologist, huh? -Yeah.

I'm patching up fragments, sticking

the puzzle together like a detective.

Ah, this is a find I'm

really excited about.

See, that's a cast from a mold.

It was made 400 years B.C.

See how detailed it is?

Look at the face.

Or the hair.

Very intricate.

It's probably a (?) or a Nereid.

What's a Nereid?

Nereids are sea nymphs.

Mythological beings that live

in the sea, like mermaids.

Can you see the dress?

It looks as if it was wet.

That's very typical for...

Would you like to take

a batch before dinner?

Yeah, I could use a shave too.

It's over here.

How is she?

- She's all right.

Did you tell her I was here?

No. Come, let's have something to eat.

I'd like to talk to her.

Why? What for? I told you everything.

- What's the number at the hospital?

God. Leave me alone!

What do you want from us?

Listen I haven't seen my

daughter for half a year...

...and finally I get

a call from the hospital

And when I go there I find her half

conscious and then you're there!

And I have no idea what this is all about!

- Why don't you want me to talk to her?

What did she tell you?

Did you know who she was?

That I was her mother?

I would just like to hear

her voice, all right?

Come sit down. Please.

So where did you go in Italy?

The usual places, you

know. Florence. Sienna...

Cici.

Your daughter has a great curiosity.

Yeah, she's really like

a child sometimes.

Do you think she's ever been with a man?

What?

Tell me what happened.

I told you. I didn't like the

idea of her hitchhiking and...

I rented a car.

- Why shouldn't she hitchhike?

Well, she's just a kid. I mean anything

can happen, you read the papers.

Why are you so concerned?

It's amazing you know, the

statistics about snakebites is only

it was much higher.

I'm not interested in statistics, Walter.

If I had 100 daughters and all of

them had been bitten by a viper then

there'd be some sense in it and

I'd lose only 3 to 10 daughters.

Not that many really think about it.

Well, I think I need some sleep.

I'll put you in Elizabeth's room.

- Hannah.

Tell me the truth.

Am I her father?

Is this the child you

said you wouldn't have?

No.

I've told you already.

It's Joachim.

Joachim's dead.

I found him in Mexico.

He's dead.

The bed's all made up.

Good night.

Walter.

How far did you go with the child?

Tell me.

Yes or no?

Yes.

Hannah.

Hannah.

Hannah!

Hannah!

Hey!

Why didn't you wake me up?

- Her body rejected the poison. She's fine.

Where is she? I want to see her. Now.

- No. She needs more rest.

Where is Elizabeth Piper's room?

Piper? Yeah. Do you

know where she... Piper.

Or is it Hencke or Landsberg or what?

Where is she? -Down there.

- It's down here?

Who is this Mr. Piper anyway?

One of your abandoned men?

Like Joachim. Why'd you divorce Joachim?

- I didn't love him.

Ah, you didn't love him. That's cute.

Must be why he killed himself.

Maybe that's what you had

in mind for me, huh? Suicide.

Cause you wouldn't marry me. -You didn't

want to get married. -Are you crazy?

You didn't. You wanted to build a dam

in Baghdad. -I asked you to get married!

So we could have this child. I asked you.

- That's not what you said.

Don't tell me what I

said! I know what I said!

- You said if you

want to have your child

then we must get married.

You said 'your' child.

Not 'ours'.

Is this true?

One word.

After 20 years one

stupid word divided us?

Exactly.

And by the way it's 21 years.

Why do you keep getting

the figures wrong?

Isn't it interesting that you, the man of

science, the great believer of mathematics

who cannot add 9 months to a year?

I want to see my daughter.

Why didn't you tell her?

I mean, I don't care if you deceived

me all these years but why her?

She has to know now.

- No!

She has to know for herself.

- No please don't.

What are you so afraid of?

She loves you. She told me this morning.

I never knew how much

Hannah had told her.

And Hannah made sure we

couldn't talk to each other.

The doctor says I might be

able to go home in a few days.

I never really heard you speak English.

She has a good accent, hasn't she?

You know, in the beginning I was so much

against her going to the United States

but now I'm so glad she did.

We travelled a lot together, you know?

I remember when she was about two years

old and she was just starting to talk

we travelled through France

and through Italy. Remember?

We visited a lot of churches.

And whenever we entered

a church I would say to her:

'Shh, Leise!' Which means 'quiet' in
