Here.

Here.

You...

You could get

a couple of weeks off, couldn't you?

Yeah.

- Could you?

Yes.

Do you really think you could, John?

Alright, Laura.

Alright.

Hello.

- Hello.

Hello?

- Who on earth is it?

Hello. - Hello?

- What time is it, for God's sake?

Operator!

Operator!

- What time is it?

Operator!

Hello!

Operator!

Where is this call coming from?

Hello!

Hello!

Where in England?

- Hello! Is that Mr. Baxter?

John Baxter here.

- Oh, this is Anthony Babbage here.

Headmaster, Porton School.

Yes, that's right.

I'm awfully sorry

to get you so late at night...

What time is it with you?

Oh, I see. We got your telephone

number from your London people.

Yes. There's been

a bit of an accident.

It's your son, Johnny. He's been

to the San and he's in capable hands,

but Matron thinks...

Mr. Baxter? It's Mandy Babbage here.

Yes, poor little Johnny.

It was during fire practice.

There's nothing to worry about.

- Good.

Yes.

Tell them I'm on the next plane home.

What was that?

My wife will be there this morning.

Yes.

That's very kind of you. Thank you.

Yes, goodnight. Good morning.

Bye.

This is what I meant

about leaving Venice. They were right.

This is it, this is what they meant.

You see?

Pronto! Pronto!

Allitalia, please.

Get me the airport then.

What time do they open?

Oh, Christ! Thank you. Goodnight.

Darling, she said

that she's sure that he'll be okay.

But that is not so! You know that.

I won't ask you any more

favors for a year!

You'll be doing the right thing

if you do this for me.

It's a charter flight, you've got

the last seat. - Fantastic!

He's finding out where they go from.

- John,

don't forget to ask the bishop

about staying over in England.

- Three weeks?

Whatever you can do.

I just need time away from this.

I'll tell him today.

- You can't come with me now?

No. Call tonight.

I'll be there by the weekend.

Her name is Signora Baxter.

How much does it cost?

In 1 0 minutes?

In 1 0 minutes. From Riva Schiavoni?

Thanks. You're a friend.

The boat leaves in ten minutes

from Riva Schiavoni.

Mr. Baxter!

Yes?

We are closing!

I'll collect everything this morning!

I can't believe this!

Good morning. I am John Baxter.

- The Hotel told me.

Give Johnny my love.

I'll call you tonight, okay?

This has great significance!

The Holy Virgin and

the Patriarch of Constantinople.

Yes.

- It tells the story...

Beautiful work.

- Thank you.

I discovered it myself

and immediately had it examined.

It is about

the church's foundation...

Morning!

Good morning!

I'm sorry, but this church

means a great deal to him.

You have all worked so hard.

Are those the mosaics?
