They tell a story talking about a dolphin...

And a golden boy,

With the shells and pearls, deep...

He slept for several years.

THE LEGEND OF THE THE NAKED STATUE

There is a lot of talk about the the boy and the dolphin.

But who can say that this is true?

What would happen if emerged from the depths of the ocean...

And could you grant his wishes?

They say it's just a statue...

and that she alone can achieve nothing.

But when I look at you...

for my head to have faith.

If the boy who has pleased the gods...

It will rise from the sea...

and will grant me what my heart desires...

I would ask...

who wanted only... me.

Hey! Rhif!

- Why did you do that? - Because you are a bum.

- Only I work. - It's Sunday.

I spend my Sundays looking for sponges...

for you to pay for the boat.

- Your own boat. - My own boat? Yes, of course.

We would get married, have children and a house.

Children, of course? lots of children!

But a house? I don't see one.

For two years now been talking about buying one...

but I still work in the factory and you're diving!

All he talks about is money and work.

Never of love.

I too have many wishes...

But I ask them for the stars.

What is it?

If you love me, you must obey me.

Hey, Phaedra!

Have you seen what happens when you hide from me?

He laughed at me!

The boy!

It was golden and very big!

- He laughed and mounted a fish. - Stop.

Don't talk.

Breathe. Breathe.

Don't move.

You'll be fine.

Let's go see the English doctor.

- You cut yourself with a coral, huh? - It was not a coral!

- How much will you charge for this? - Twenty drachmas.

20 drachmas!

With that money I buy several shoes!

And because of the money, I couldn't walk.

That might hurt.

How about washing your hands?

This is because working on Sundays.

I just work! And for you!

Now I can't work, not even for myself!

Don't move.

It can't hurt that much.

So it can't cost twenty drachmas!

Maybe something is stuck. Let me take a look.

Now, close your fists.

Grab her by the shoulders.

Let me go, you stupid Albanian!

You are only good for pushing donkeys!

Good girl.

You can let her go.

See?

I found a nail.

It is from a boat.

- Wasn't it a fish? - With a little boy on top.

- The fish? - It was a dolphin!

The immersion affected her brain. And made her stupid.

Just like you!

They call it "ecstasy of the depths".

He is right.

We put it here...

and that's it.

- Are you there, Niko? - I'm here!

Help me to make it work!

If the wind can't, neither can I!

I am hurt!

If you don't grease them, the blades won't turn!

And if they don't turn, what good is is a windmill good for?

Listen!

Who will keep us when they throw us out of here?

It is working!

- Go catch fish, go. - Not now!

- Dr. Hawkins is coming! - Niko!

Now the doctor has arrived, little Gypsy.

The leg is fine and I don't have twenty drachmas.

You don't understand me.

I charged the baker 50 for a laxative.

For other patients, however, I bring them gifts.

Tomorrow I'm going to break my right leg!

Sublime.

A sublime wound.

No fevers or dizziness?

Didn't find any sharks?

I never had a fever, and I never even said I was a shark.

You are right, it was a swordfish.

Sword? It was a dolphin!

Like this?

Yes, identical.

But there was only one.

My dear little Gypsy, we are rich!

- Rich? - Not just rich, but very rich!

- Do you know where I went? - To give the baker a laxative?

No, I went to Delos.

To investigate a legend.

And I copied the mosaic.

I didn't sleep, I didn't eat...

- Want some cheese? - Have a seat!

This nail...

that penetrated your leg...

It is hundreds of years old.

According to legend...

comes from a ship that carrying treasure to Delos...

and sank in a storm, many years ago.

When Jesus Christ was still a child was a child.

Santa Maria!

So, believe me! It was a boat!

Oh, yes! Of course I do.

But we have to believe in someone else.

And it must be the right person.

My cousin Nikita,

his wife owns all the donkeys in Santorini.

You must not have donkeys, but the money.

My uncle's wife is rich and is about to die.

I don't want to involve any of your relatives.

Just you and me.

- We are going to be rich, rich. - Great!

What I liked the most was about the money.

So, go back to selling sponges in Albania!

I can't. I'm in love.

- In love. He only wants a piece. - Why not?

I know the place and I also want to be rich.

- Simple. - Simple.

As the saying goes.

a third of something is better than half of nothing.

We have to turn to to a rich person...

foreign and honest... up to a point.

- The North Americans. - Yes.

There are always some digging near the Acropolis.

- We should talk to the boss. - I will go to Athens today.

You will spend the money on wine!

And there are a lot of girls!

- What if they ask you for the documents? - Is it for her to go?

- Why not? - You could be arrested!

Don't argue, children!

Niko, go get my shoes!

I can't go to Athens without shoes.

Take it easy, guys.

These are no longer manufactured.

If you look for me, I'll be at the museum.

Dr. Calder, it's been a while since Mr. Baldwin has been expecting you.

My wall had other plans.

- I don't know what to do. - It's a huge wall.

You will see.

- What's his name? - Baldwin.

You are enjoying our work at the museum.

- Remember that he is the treasurer of the Foundation. - There is always a treasurer!

- By the way... - Yes?

Remember that treasurers also have feelings. also have feelings.

Hey, you!

I've already eaten twice. And it still hasn't come.

And onions both times!

- I have to go back to Hydra. - It's very busy.

Is the whistle blower the American boss?

Himself.

- You are kidding me! - No.

He is busy and I haven't eaten yet. Excuse me...

I don't think it's big...

compared to Rome, Paris or London.

This is because the museums of the world

are full of stolen stolen Greek works.

Don't be angry. I'm on your side, remember?

I get angry every time when I talk about it.

Want to ask more questions?

Yes!

How long do you think I can stay in Athens? I have to go back home.

Do you want to see me or not?

I don't know. What do you want?

Tell them to come back later.

- I want to show something. - I understand.

Have you found a great treasure?

Yes.

It is thousands of years old!

How do you know?

In 1820 a shepherd found the Venus de Milo.

But that is something else!

Since then...

shepherds and fishermen arrive in Athens...

and tell stories about statues and

- But they are just stories. - You don't want to hear me, right?

That's fine.

I will talk to the French, the Italians and the English.

They will listen to me. Now I'm going.

- The Greeks are pretty simple, no? - Yes.

So simple that they built things like this two thousand years ago!

Don't stop.

Let the boy rider ride.

You have nothing to ride on.

We continue with the madness...

of teaching art to ordinary people.

Kneel before him. And remember...

The Jockey boy from Artemision is 2,100 years older than you...

and is much more sublime.

Are you a rich American?

This is an irrelevant and impertinent question.

Leave me alone now.

I...

Get lost!

You go away!

Are you there? Were you fired?

No, just tired.

Then you could invite me for a martini.

Well, the return of the native.

Don't move. I'll take care of her.

- Look... I'm sorry... - I am not a shepherdess!

It's okay. She's not a shepherdess.

I went to see the Frenchman and pinched me.

The British already have many problems...

and the Italians, many statues.

Right. Which statue is it?

Do you see this?

I'll wait in the car. I'll be right there.

- Is that what the Frenchman did? - No, the nail on the boat.

It is 2,000 years old and when the doctor removed it

Look...

See?

It's better if you sit down.

It is a drawing of the Delos mosaic.

- Do you live in Delos? - No. In Hydra.

And did you see the statue of a boy riding a dolphin?

Yes! Great!

I can sell it if you pay me well.

- I don't want to... - Don't believe me?

In the museum I saw another boy just like mine.

But mine rides a dolphin!

You... Did you really see...

A boy riding a dolphin at the bottom of the sea?

No, on a boat.

The doctor called it an "old ship."

This nail is part of the ship. Look...

Let's start again.

Start here.

Hello.

- Look... What is your name? - Phaedra.

- Which hotel are you staying at? - No hotel, I have no money.

Here.

That's fine. That will be enough.

It's not all right! It's not enough!

If your company takes my dolphin out of the sea...

500 drachmas are not enough!

- Not if the boy is on the dolphin. - He is!

Well, you will get what you want.

- What do you want? - A lot of money.

And for Niko...

- And who is Niko? - My brother, the lazy one.

He will go to college like you.

Maybe we can make a deal.

I'll expect you at the Astorias at 7 o'clock.

- Don't miss. - Right.

And I will tell my Yale classmate...

that he will soon have a new student.

Bye.

Excuse me, no unaccompanied ladies.

- I'm waiting for a man. - That's what I meant. Don't answer...

I am hungry!

Please, I cannot serve an unaccompanied unaccompanied lady.

Could it be him?

- I'm going to sit with him. - With Mr. Parmalee?

See? I'm not going out. I'm with a friend.

- Bring me the bill. - No! Sit here.

I am not allowed to be alone.

Give me my radio.

Unless you want to break it.

I hadn't noticed.

Of course... it's quite small!

- Miss, please go away. - Go away, you!

Tell Dr. Calder that I am here!

We have a business to settle!

Are you going to dine with the eminent Dr. Calder?

I'm going to dinner now.

- Do you want to? - It will be my pleasure.

Let me choose a suitable drink.

Now let me see.

Which wine would fit best?

- Goat's milk, for two! - Yes, sir.

- Is Calder important? - I call him "Jim the Incorruptible.

How well do you know him?

Our paths have crossed in many cities...

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Florence... Cities plundered by the Nazis...

A Raphael... a Rembrandt...

and a small Chinese porcelain vase.

that belonged Madame Pompadour.

Then always appeared Captain Jim Calder from the USA...

returning valuable objects to their owners.

A typical middle-class gesture.

I have the pleasure of proving...

that he is now interested in more mundane things.

He has a commitment to you and not to a marble bust!

- No, we made a deal. - Very interesting!

May I know what kind of agreement?

We will make a lot of money and Niko will go to college.

Will you sell a family treasure?

No, something I found in the sea!

A secret?

No!

There is nothing more beautiful than a woman with a secret.

Excuse me, I need to make a phone call.

- Boy! - Yes, sir?

- Repeat your name six times. - What?

Your name... six times.

Dimitri Papadopoulos, Dimitri Papadopoulos...

Four is enough.

Thank you.

It was a call to you.

Dr. Calder will arrive in two hours.

Two Hours?

- It's a long time. - Yes.

It's very hot and you have two hours.

Let's take a walk.

My car and my driver are waiting for me outside.

Do you want me to come in your car?

It will be my pleasure.

Right. So, let's go.

Good afternoon, Dimitri.

- Which ship is going to Hydra? - It has already sailed.

Are you thinking of following that girl to the island?

What she said makes sense.

But this is not archaeology.

- It's a treasure hunt. - A treasure...

You have given me a great idea.

We can't have the martini. Let's go to Athens... now.

I like my work.

Don't you?

I love it. That's why we are going.

I want her to feel comfortable.

Give her total freedom. But don't let her leave the yacht.

Yes, sir.

I'm going to spend the night on land...

and in the morning, Tonino will accompany me to Epidaurus.

If I find what I'm looking for, I'll come back tomorrow.

If not, I will go to Meteora.

Don't forget that she has to to be on board at all times.

She is our guest.

- Is that understood? - Yes, sir.

I am sorry that you did not found what you were looking for.

- It was a random shot. - Maybe you can find it in Meteora.

I hope with all my heart.

I love you, darling.

- Did she say it for you or for me? - To neither of us.

- That's your husband over there. - That's right!

I love you too.

The best acoustics in the world!

Although the tourists don't know that!

- I hear you! - You have good ears!

- Good luck in Meteora. - Thank you.

We have arrived, sir.

- How do I get up? - With the monastery elevator.

Which button do I have to press?

I guess I misplaced my button!

Thank you, brother.

Welcome to Meteora.

What is the Insurance company?

We leave everything in God's hands.

A very safe company!

Sorry to bother you.

I see that you are busy, so I'll be brief.

I am looking for information about an object...

that can be found at the bottom of the sea.

A button, a bone, a wheelbarrow?

- A ship that sank years ago. - 500, 1.000, 2.000?

- About 2,000 years. - Do you know where to look?

We have more than 3,400 books.

My only clue is a manuscript from a Delos scholar.

How curious!

The dust piles up in our manuscripts...

and two people ask me on the same day for the same thing.

What did you say?

If you need me...

I'll be in the library after morning prayers.

Thank you, brother.

I should have made a reservation.

Hello, Parmalee.

What are you doing here? Are you leaving your Greek quotes?

Which is impossible.

You should know better than anyone else.

New York, London, Paris, Meteora?

Something goes wrong.

Let's not poke the wounds.

- We have a lot in common. - Not money.

We both want what we can't buy.

Wasting your time on a lot of nonsense.

I like that.

"And the child was submerged in the sea dark as wine.

Mounted on the friend of the sea god.

A golden boy on an iron dolphin".

Bronze.

Sorry, bronze.

"In a distant part of the Peloponnese...

Our great treasure is shipwrecked.

Peloponnese. Satisfied?

What satisfies me is to see you here.

I hate to fill my fingers with dust.

I'm coming, I don't want to miss the elevator!

I would hate to see him in jail.

Sentimentality is still your weak point, Jim.

Go like this.

Article Nine of the Greek Penal Code:

"It is forbidden to remove objects of historical value historical value under any circumstances...

of Greek territory and its waters.

"They are the property of the Greek nation. "

I know. I know Article Nine.

It was written because of me!

- I agree. - Oh, you!

- I want to ask you a question. - No, I know them.

You just want to confuse me!

Put me in the car and tell me to dive tell me to dive into Hydra!

Let's get some air and I'll tell you I saw a sinking ship!

Ask me what is my mother's name...

and I tell you I saw a boy riding a dolphin!

And then it disappears for two days!

Were you treated well? Were you well taken care of?

I was not well taken care of. I was held back.

- So, enough with the questions! - Good.

My question is:

if you take an immersion immersion team to Hydra.

could you locate the exact place?

You will not go to the police without your shoes.

- I'm going to see Mr. Calder. - A very fruitful visit.

If I give you another 500 drachmas, then you will have 1,000.

- How many dollars would that be? - Don't confuse me again! No more!

At least do me a favor.

Protect yourself from the cold.

I have nothing.

Put that on.

He is Belgian, from Brussels.

Very old and valuable.

And now I want the most most precious statue in Greece.

The one you found.

You will have a fleet at your disposal.

You can live in Athens forever.

I have to talk to Dr. Hawkins and Rhif.

I have to go to Hydra. What time is it?

Give me your hand.

Now you will always know.

Tick-tock!

It's 4:15 pm.

The boat leaves at 17:00!

- What boat? - The only boat that goes to Hydra.

We are going to Hydra.

Hello, good afternoon!

I am looking for a girl named Phaedra.

- I was told that you live here. - She is my sister.

So you are the lazy one?

- Hello, lazybones! - Hello there.

- Is she back from Athens yet? - We are waiting for her.

- Are you American? - Yes. My name is Calder.

I was with her in Athens.

- Please, have a seat. - Thank you.

- Niko, clean his shoes. - No need.

Would you like something to drink?

- Go milk the goat. - Oh, relax. I just want some information.

Did you meet Phaedra? Why didn't you come together?

That's what I want to know.

Did you have an interesting conversation with her?

Yes, of course.

Pleasant?

Naturally... like a million!

Look, my equipment is at the pier.

- Could you take me there? - Hey, Niko, help the gentleman.

- See you later. - See you later.

- Did you hear what he said? - One million!

This is not Hydra, but Mandraki Bay!

- No one has lived here for several years. - Good to know!

- Let's go. - Toward the port?

So that they can see us?

No way.

We will stay away from prying eyes.

If we get to Hydra...

everyone would have been open-mouthed.

Niko, Rhif, Dr. Hawkins, everyone...

Remember that this endeavor is not entirely legal.

- What do you suggest? - I'll tell you.

If this operation is successful...

implies a somewhat imperfect somewhat imperfect venture with the law.

Everything is under the responsibility of the buyer.

- I see. - Stop shaking the shawl.

- What do you want me to do? - Hide it.

And now landing.

Prepare everything without arousing suspicion.

When the mark is in the water, let me know.

Underneath I have the most the most modern equipment on the market.

Then we will begin.

Hey! When are you going to talk about the money?

When the delivery is done. As usual.

The boat leaves Athens at 3:00.

- He won't get here before 6. - Yes. That's if it's on board.

Don't make me more nervous.

Let's play another one. No one is sick.

Phaedra!

Look. For you. I brought it from Athens.

You are early. It's still 3 in the afternoon.

- Exactly. - It doesn't matter.

...it is 2:54 and thirty seconds.

- He has 21 rubies. - Where?

- Inside. - Why?

- So they won't steal it! - Where did you get this?

I won.

- The American? - Sure.

I found a rich man.

- We know. - Everything is clear and perfect

- I even like how he whistles. - Not this one, stupid!

- Now nothing is clear. - Why?

We have a big problem.

Let's go to the yacht in Mandraki Bay.

Niko, go home!

- Phaedra, aren't we going with the boat? - No, let's go!

Mr. American!

Do you want me to shine your shoes? I am the best on the island.

- Is that true? - Yes.

Deal done. Come on up.

41!

42!

- Mr. Parmalee! - Yes.

43!

- Do you know who is on the island? - Who's on the island?

44!

Calder.

You are wrong!

It was just a matter of time.

Jim Calder is no novice.

- These are my friends. Dr. Haw... - Let's leave it for later.

- Did you tell him I was here? - Of course not.

- If you want to fight... - Use it to clean your nails!

Well, this changes our plans.

We will not act with Calder on the prowl.

- Let's not put the marks on. - It's my fault! I talked to him!

Relax, my dear! Relax!

We have all the time in the world.

We will sunbathe and drink Madeira. Please take a seat.

They don't want to drink anything!

But what are we going to do with Dr. Calder?

- Will you want to dive? - And the statue?

Tell them to shut up I'll give them a reward.

Dive with Calder throughout the Aegean Sea.

Except the point where is the boy and the dolphin.

But...

Dive in until he loses patience, ambition patience, ambition...

money, oxygen, and hope.

Oh, Mr. Parmalee! Do you know how clever you are?

- Thank you. - Now we can drink wine.

- Fish eggs? - Caviar.

Do you like that?

Like all expensive things, I have strange taste!

I hope that soon you will too.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Niko! - This is my sister, Dr. Jim.

Wow...

- Welcome to Hydra. - Yes.

If I had waited, I would still be in Athens.

- Wait a moment! - And you get back to the mill!

- And don't talk to strangers! - Strangers? We are friends!

Go home and wash yourself!

And you, you are not a trustworthy man! No way!

- Am I not? - Since you admit it, I won't be angry anymore.

Okay, I admit it. That's why I'm here.

- Do you still want the statue? - Of course.

- I'll rent a boat... - I'll take care of the boat!

It will be much cheaper for you.

- How much? - Well...

500 drachmas for the crew and the ship.

- 500? - Yes.

- Do you think I am a millionaire? - No.

- I have another idea. Can you handle the engine? - I can try.

Good. I'll pack the boat and we won't need a crew.

This way we will save the money.

I would like you to be my Accountant!

Nothing. Forget it.

See you tomorrow at 8 to dive in.

- Right? - Right.

- Breathe as I taught you. - My ears hurt!

You will get used to it in a few days.

I was sure he was here.

These things happen.

The sea is very big.

The sun was there...

and the ship was aligned with the cliff.

But today there is only sand.

Now the days are longer. It has changed the position.

Oh, yes. The days are longer.

You are not stupid.

- Let's try that way. - Oh, no! Let's leave it for another day.

- What? - We need to preserve the air in the tanks.

There is too much air in the tanks!

That's fine. Then we will preserve you!

Did you like it?

At least we found something in two weeks.

It is like finding nothing.

Who knows, maybe it's half of a great answer.

If we find the other half, maybe...

Come.

Let's go.

Don't you want to continue? We have all day.

I have things to do.

Look at them.

Just doing his duty.

- See you tomorrow. - Are we done for the day?

Let's do one thing...

Let's meet at the tavern.

And if you are a good girl, I'll buy you a drink.

- At 8 o'clock. - 8 o'clock sharp.

Perfect!

The best grease shop in Greece!

How much?

For you it is special price. Free!

So let's do a charity.

One, two...

Caviar? A small luxury.

It's not good. Rhif doesn't like it.

Do they serve caviar at the mill?

Phaedra brought it from the yacht.

She said it would be good for me.

The yacht?

What yacht?

The big boat at anchor in Mandraki Bay.

Mandraki Bay? Where is Mandraki Bay?

On the other side of the island. You can't see it from here.

You'd better go home.

Maybe your sister needs you.

Right.

See you later.

Tonino!

- There will be two of us at lunch! - Yes, sir.

A very nice corner.

the Smuggler's Cave.

Like a glove!

- Surprised? - On the contrary.

I was expecting you.

I am not surprised that you steal paintings.

You are flying blind. You won't achieve anything.

- You want the statue, right? - Yes.

That's why I'm so angry with you. Why don't you leave?

The girl will not help you and you alone will never find it.

Well?

Well? What are you going to do? Admit defeat.

Maybe you are right.

As long as we are being honest

Tell me: if I'm leaving...

how will you pull it from the Greek waters?

Jim

You talk as if I were an honest man...

because I am not.

Will you have lunch with me?

Yes, thank you.

Please.

Pepper?

Salt?

A Beautiful Portrait of Benjamin Franklin!

They are true.

It is much better.

It's money. You've heard about it.

Don't try to be honest and reject it.

There is nothing more noble than money.

- Sorry, the soup is getting cold. - So is the bottom of the Aegean Sea.

I love you.

What is this thing called "love"?

What is it?

It appropriates without saying anything.

And it gives strength to nostalgia.

What is this thing called "love"?

What is it?

Laughter, tears, sun, rain.

It is the beginning and the end of our lives.

No one has ever, ever been able to...

to explain what love consists of.

What is this thing called "love"?

What is it?

It is something that makes you say what you feel.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Go dance with them.

I will dance for you.

- You thought it was good, huh? - Pretty good!

It is a pity that we are not in the same team.

But we are on the same team!

Always?

Absolutely.

We dive together, we laugh together and we work together.

And we discovered sponges, corals, rusty anchors, but

not the statue.

Don't worry. We'll find it.

I know I will find it, but...

without you.

With science.

It is a pity.

Science often undermines many things.

For many people.

What science?

This afternoon I received a box that...

detects metals in water through sound.

- No need to dive? - Oh yes, but only when we find them.

Niko!

Where is he?

Where have you been? I was looking for you.

- Come on, let's go home, quickly. - Why? It's not late.

Yes, it is late!

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Take him home and put him to bed and come back.

I'll be waiting for you.

Dr. Calder knows that we are deceiving him.

Tomorrow he begins to look for the statue by himself.

You will be going to remove it.

You won't find it alone!

There is a machine that listens. An American machine!

An underwater sensor?

Our friend is very determined.

You are right.

We have to move the statue tonight.

Prepare the equipment.

Flashlights, ropes oxygen and masks.

And he sends Tonino.

And I prepare everything to suspend the statue?

No way. Oh, no!

Not while Calder is lurking.

And less in these waters.

It is very risky.

When the time comes...

we will meet on this island

that looks like a whale.

Then we will move the statue.

Listen carefully.

You and your friend will cut the strings of the statue...

and transport it to a cave.

Or better yet...

to the cave under the lighthouse.

Here.

Don't lose sight of the buoy.

One pull: send the rope; two: open the oxygen.

Right.

Rhif?

Good Morning! Are you ready to get up?

Yes.

I couldn't sleep a wink. He didn't come back to the tavern, so...

Are you ready to dive so early?

Not exactly.

I was feeling lonely...

without you.

I know you will laugh at me.

I won't laugh.

- I just... - Only what?

I don't know.

I'll tell you.

You are the most precious girl I have ever seen in my life.

Holy Mary, help me.

I am a mess.

Doctor Jim! Doctor Jim!

- Hey, lazybones! - Dr. Jim, may I join you?

There is always a place for you.

Climb aboard.

Did I bring you a present, Dr. Jim?

Not exactly.

Now let's take a look.

Do you know what this is?

Look, it's a...

Like it? Want it for yourself?

It is yours.

- For me? - For you.

Thank you, Doctor Jim.

- Can I help you, Dr. Jim? - Sure.

In fact, it can help me a lot.

You will have to listen to this contraption...

and when you hear "tic-tic-tic", you have to shout.

Right.

When I hear "tick-tic-tic", I'll scream.

Well...

What are you doing?

Do you hear the fish?

It is my favorite distraction!

Rhif, look what Dr. Jim gave me.

For a boy it is quite appropriate, isn't it, Doctor?

I never needed a bigger knife.

For a man this is better, no?

It depends.

Sometimes it is the opposite.

The smaller the man, the bigger the knife!

It didn't "tick"!

Dr. Jim, are you looking for sponges?

Now I would settle for that.

This is not a good place for sponges.

My sister never dives here.

And where does it dive?

Sometimes there, sometimes there and once there.

- Are they good places? - Not all.

There is a lot of coral there.

Phaedra suffered a cut on her leg, not good.

It doesn't matter, Niko.

Let's go to where she hurt her leg.

- Right. - Right.

Nice picture, Parmalee!

This sea is also very beautiful, isn't it?

Yes... very nice!

Are you using a lie detector?

Very good!

Who is your little friend?

A boy almost as smart as his sister Phaedra.

And you know how smart she is.

It must run in the family! Don't you agree?

Would you like a drink? I'm sure you need one.

- On the yacht? - On the yacht.

Come on, Jim. Just you and me.

And if you find the boy and the dolphin, let me know.

- I would like to see them. - Not now. Maybe another time.

Promise?

I promise.

- Tonino! - Yes, sir?

Send a message to Rhif.

Not for the girl, for Rhif. Listen carefully.

Rhif!

Well? What did you want?

We were told it was urgent and we came running.

You are smiling, why?

You know Phaedra, haven't you seen Mr. Parmalee's boat?

Of course I saw it.

- Why did they approach you? - To explain the plan to me.

And now I will tell you about it.

During tonight's festival you will dance with Dr. Calder.

I dance when my feet ask me to, not when you ask me to!

You will dance when I tell you to!

When dancing with Dr. Calder

he won't take his eyes off you. Do you know where I'm going?

While you dance, I will go to Poros...

and I will set sail in a fast boat at night.

Tonight we will be rich, gypsy!

Stupid, not tonight! Tomorrow!

Tomorrow night we will go to the cave...

Let's tie the statue to the ship...

we will go to the whale-shaped shaped like a whale...

and deliver it to Mr. Parmalee.

Then he will pay us. Tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Why not today?

You talk too much... and drink too much!

I don't need you! I don't need anyone!

If you want the money, you have to obey Rhif!

What is this money?

Where did you get it?

Phaedra, don't you trust me?

Parmalee gave me the money to buy the boat.

And not for the doctor to get drunk!

But why did you accept?

Phaedra... you're mad at me, aren't you?

But you still look beautiful.

And after tomorrow you will have no more anger.

It will be rich.

I only kiss when I want to kiss!

That's fine.

But remember... Tomorrow, when you dance with Calder

is to do with your feet and your head...

and not with the heart!

I'm sorry, Rhif. I spoke too soon.

Right. I've forgotten.

But watch her while she dances. Entertain him.

If we want to see the money tomorrow, you must obey me tonight.

Hi! But it's my good friend friend Dr. Calder!

Would you like to have a glass of wine with me?

No, thank you, doctor, I just came to see if...

- Hello. - Hi.

I was looking for you.

Yes?

- Did you want to talk to me? - No.

I was hoping that maybe would dance for me.

- You are happy tonight! - Why wouldn't I be?

- Everyone is. - Even Dr. Hawkins. Very happy.

And Rhif. But...

Where is he?

He also seems happy. And you?

Of course.

I have every reason to be.

I think so.

Enough!

He's drunk! You'll ruin everything!

- Wine, Dr. Hawkins? - Do you know me?

He is not a foreigner in Greece.

He is a guest, but not a stranger.

A guest?

Yes, now that you mention it.

It's funny.

For a long time now you have put up with me, right?

In a way, I am a little ashamed.

So...

let's toast to ambition, wealth...

and, above all for real friends.

For true friends.

Now I'm going to dance.

- For Whom? - For whom?

By dancing.

Doctor Jim!

The yacht has sailed!

- When? - Half an hour ago, I think.

Thanks, buddy.

See how your sister dances.

She dances very well!

It worked well, didn't it?

Smiling, dancing... I just watch...

and Rhif attends Parmalee.

Nice smile, Phaedra!

And you dance very well.

But I won't give you my hand because it is too dirty!

What about your hands, Dr. Calder?

They are not dirty because you never had to dig!

He is a famous archaeologist.

You don't work in a mill...

or destroy the lungs looking for sponges!

It's American...

and finding the statue would have been a glory! Yes!

But our lives would not changed one bit!

So I am glad that you will never see the statue again, Dr. Calder.

I am also happy for you and your friends, Phaedra.

The statue is gone and you have your life set.

Exactly. And that's good.

But you are also a common thief!

With the difference that you are stealing from your own country!

I am not a thief. I didn't steal anything.

I found it!

And what I find in the sea is mine!

What about its people? The people of Greece?

They are the losers. They will never see it.

Do you think Greeks live like you, in a museum?

What do you know about the Greeks?

It's American!

But you are Greek, like the statue!

And because I am American I can't have an opinion?

Exactly right, Dr. Calder!

Maybe.

Maybe I don't know the Greeks...

but I know that the inhabitants of this island

that their statue would fill them with pride.

But now no one will see it. Don't worry.

You will have everything...

except friends, neighbors, and country.

Go away! Get off this island!

I don't want to see him again!

Mills...

sponges...

It's not such a bad life, right?

The statue!

- What? - You are still in the cave!

Do you want to see?

It is a very difficult question.

Tomorrow. We'll go tomorrow morning.

We have plenty of time.

It has been down there for a long time.

I wouldn't want to lose her.

He is in a safe place, in a secret cave.

Early in the morning...

we will see her together.

Promise?

Jim, I don't understand what happened!

Listen to me!

I didn't do that!

Rhif must have been here.

- He took her away from here this morning. - Too early, I see.

Can you believe I prevented you from coming at night?

Well, it is not true.

It was me who didn't want to come.

Tell me you know I didn't do that!

If not, I will have lost everything.

I've already sacrificed the only thing that mattered

for something unimportant.

Don't say that!

Here.

You were true to your point.

- I did the opposite. - Jim

I'm sorry for this morning... for everything...

but I will never regret for last night.

Tell me!

What are you going to do? And what am I going to do?

You will have to to make do with Rhif.

I will talk... about what happened with the Greek government.

I'll tell you all the details... I'm leaving the island...

and go back to the diggings.

Phaedra! Phaedra!

Rhif told you to to find him immediately!

- He has something for you. Hurry up! - Where is he?

He is in his boat, in the small bay.

Let's go!

Niko, wait here!

Please, can I come with you?

I have to talk to Rhif, alone.

I'll be back soon. Don't come down!

Hey, Rhif!

Phaedra, I have been looking for you.

Where have you been?

Where is the statue?

Ah! The statue!

Will you like me better when you see her?

Why do you ask?

Is she here? I want to know!

Come, I'll show you.

And I will tell you why she is here and not in the cave.

Tonight we will leave for the island and then we will go far away.

I'm going home to get Niko!

Your house or Calder's?

So I removed the statue.

Sorry to bother you...

But I must tell you something important.

Excuse me, Dr. Calder...

You are right, but this here is also important.

This will be one of the last matches that we play together.

Maybe the last one.

Oh, really?

May I sit down while waiting for the ferry?

We won't play anymore thanks to you, Dr. Calder.

So, do you know me?

- I didn't know you were so popular! - Of course I know him.

I also know that you want to warn us about... the statue...

who is leaving on Mr. Parmalee's yacht... tonight.

- You seem to be well-integrated! - It's part of my job...

...but I haven't finished it yet.

So there are two of us.

What do you do?

Let's say I represent the Greek government.

For weeks I watched his dives.

I almost didn't have time to breathe!

Fortunately Mr. Parmalee is also tired.

We'll get him and you get the statue.

I hope you are right.

Calder, if anything changes our plans, I will let you know immediately.

- Will you be around? - Yes, I'll be here.

Great.

The statue is in the water.

If I let her go, will she escape swimming and running?

Dr. Hawkins! Dr. Hawkins!

Oh, Niko!

Phaedra, hurry!

The birds have flown away. And I'm afraid she is with them.

They flew together!

Rhif captured her and tied her up!

Did you tie up?

- Where? - In the boat. In the little bay!

She was in the water!

Phaedra showed me the statue!

The statue?

Underwater?

Let's go.

Now you are angry, but it won't last.

In two days you will be in Albania...

where we will get married, be rich and happy.

Are you in a hurry, Dr. Calder?

I can wait a few more seconds.

I hope to catch Parmalee for years to come.

Get ready to receive the shipment!

- Mr. Parmalee, are you there? - Of course I'm here!

Shut up and load up!

- Where is it? - First the money!

Mr. Parmalee

although we don't know each other...

I can say that I know your work.

Thank you.

But, whoever you are, flattery will do no good...

They are not flattery, sir.

I represent the Greek government.

In that case, apologize and leave.

You are under arrest, Mr. Parmalee.

Arrested? This is ridiculous!

- What are you accusing me of? - Theft of government property.

- Hi, Victor. - Hi, Victor.

- Can I have that drink now? - It seems like the right night.

- It's not on the yacht! - How do you know?

I know very well Victor Parmalee very well.

Wait a minute. Cross your fingers.

It looks like yours. The money is monogrammed with your name.

A very compromising compromising evidence, Mr. Parmalee.

Of what?

Attempted theft of a national treasure.

Before you handcuff me...

can I formulate a simple simple question?

Go ahead, please.

It is about the treasure that I am stealing.

Can you tell me the size, weight, color, length, shape and value?

Have you seen it?

And have you seen it?

Or you?

Goodbye handcuffs.

- Have you seen it, Mr. Parmalee? - Of course not!

- So you plead not guilty? - On the contrary.

I am guilty of the unforgivable crime...

- The crime of failure! - Well...

In view of the circumstances, Dr. Calder...

we'd better leave Mr. Parmalee for next time.

- Will there be a next time, Calder? - It has been a long night.

- Let's go back home. - Yes.

Raise Anchor.

Orders, sir?

Yes, of course.

Course: south-southwest.

Speed: twelve knots.

Fate...

Fate...

Monte Carlo.

How strange! Everything is empty.

They went to watch the games.

Are you going back to Athens?

- I'll be ready in three minutes. - Great.

Phaedra! Phaedra!

Look! I cut.

I cut it! Just like you told me to.

Did I do it right?

Well done!

- Doctor Jim, I cut it! - Good job, Niko!

Smart boy!

He dived under the boat...

and cut the ropes with a knife.

They say it's just a statue...

and that she alone can do nothing.

But when I look at you...

for my head to have faith.

If the boy who has pleased the gods...

It will rise from the sea...

and will grant me what my heart desires...

I would ask...

...who loves only me.
