:09:05
Come in.
:09:08
General Pherides. I am honored, sir.
:09:11
Please, won't you come in?
:09:17
I came here to visit
the last resting place of my wife.
:09:21
I found the coffins broken,
empty, all of them.
:09:24
I'm extremely sorry, General.
It happened a long time ago.
:09:27
The peasants were looking
for antiquities to sell.
:09:30
They broke into the coffins,
and then they destroyed the bodies.
:09:33
Has anyone been punished for this crime?
:09:35
In a way, I was punished.
You see, I am an archaeologist.
:09:39
And this island was
the great find of my life.
:09:42
Such treasures.
Antiquities dating back to Homer.
:09:47
But I paid for them
with my uneasy conscience.
:09:50
Unwittingly I have turned good,
simple people into grave robbers.
:09:54
The fault is mine.
:09:55
The legal guilt is theirs
and must be reported to the authorities.
:09:59
But all this was in the past.
:10:01
15 years ago, I saw the wrong
and gave up selling these things.
:10:04
It is enough now for me to live with them.
:10:07
I bought this house from Madame Kyra.
She consented to stay on with me.
:10:11
Thanks to her, the house remains Greek.
:10:14
I might have turned it into
a bit of Switzerland, where I come from.
:10:17
But won't you please
meet my other guests?
:10:19
It will be a great pleasure for them.
:10:21
I'm Oliver Davis,
correspondent for the Boston Star.
:10:25
Master soldier...
:10:26
My guests are travelers,
refugees from your battle.
:10:29
They crossed over to the island
to avoid the shelling.
:10:33
We had to destroy the bodies.
In the fires we burned them all.
:10:37
There was one among them,
an evil one, wicked.
:10:41
Go on with your nonsense, old woman.
These are new days for Greece.
:10:45
We don't believe
the old foolish tales anymore.
:10:49
You do not believe?
:10:52
Look there.
:10:53
There is one who is pale and weak.
:10:56
And upstairs, there is one
who is rosy and red and full of blood.
