Ionian column.
Fifth century BC, is it not?
No, it happens to be
third century BC, Doric.
So you're off the mark by a couple
of hundred years, you ignorant bastard.
Leutnant Braun...
Especially an Italian cook.
On this occasion we will spare
Signor Rotelli.
And hang this man in his place.
Franz, ein Stuhl unter dem Vogel.
Und ein Seil.
Attention!
Professor Blake.
What is this
incessant compulsion to escape?
It's a habit I picked up as a soldier
As a civilian, where would you be...
...if the benevolent arm of the Fhrer's
Antiquarian Reclamation Unit...
...had not rescued you
from your various internment camps?
looting Greece of all her art treasures.
Sergeant Judson?
In what swamp of despair
would you be...
...if your circus-bred skills of climbing
and rigging had not enticed me...
...into plucking you from your prison camp
in the Fatherland?
As for you, Bruno Rotelli,
if you were not a cook...
- I'm not a cook.
- God knows, that is true.
I'm a racing driver, sometimes I sing.
I've a feeling your defection to the Allies
must've been taken as a mixed blessing.
We have three dead archaeologists here
who cannot be replaced.
Note that did not deter Sergeant Mann
from shooting them.
In the interests of peace and harmony...
Harmony ain't what's about to happen.
Well, Major Hecht,
I am pleased to see...
...you are conducting
a summary trial of these criminals.
Have you decided on punishment?
I was about to, Major Volkmann.
Oh, please, proceed.
As I was saying, to deter you from further
disrupting the mission of this unit...
...you shall be confined
to your sleeping quarters.
This camp exists for one purpose...
...to exhume priceless
archaeological relics.
Anyone who interferes will pay dearly.
I suggest you confine them in here.
- Remove the grating.
- Open it.
Jump in, men.
In the SS, we play no favourites.
Put the dead men in with them.
Do you wish me to give the order?
Herr Major, let me remind you that...
...in this camp, I am in command.
You're quite right.
I have exceeded my authority.
Have they located the transmitter?
No, sir.
It takes 30 seconds to get a fix
and the Greeks never transmit that long.
Ah, please come. This way, please.
Don't do that.
You don't care
about any of this, do you?
I care that your Resistance heroes
have turned five girls into whores
so they can spy on the Germans for you.
You know we have a date for
an Allied naval invasion of the Aegean.
- Who's invading us this time?
- How do I know?
- The British? The Americans?
- The Germans are neater.
From a madam's point of view.
They just hang old men
in the village square.
The Resistance,
it has a specific target to take now.
All right.
Yes, the submarine refuelling depot.
- Real coffee, where did you get it?
- Lieutenant Braun.
And how did you get it?
Follow me.
Gesundheit. I hope it's not catching.
- Oh, Charlie!
- Mamma mia, che meraviglia!
What are they doing down there?
Prisoners who tried to escape. Come.
They told me we were going
to a country club.
Enter.
- Ah, the Americans.
- Charlie Dane. This is Dottie Delmar.
- Major Otto Hecht.
- Great likeness. Great likeness!
- Louis Armstrong.
- Yes, are you a jazz lover?
From King Oliver on.
Fancy looking junk you got there.
It is a fifth-century Aegean vase.
I would've sworn it was fourth century.
Looks expensive.
- You were shot down over the Adriatic?
- That's right, on our way to a USO show.
I see you are a swimmer.
