Escape to Athena Page #5

---

a little advanced notice.

- You wouldn't still be here without him.

- I'll keep it in mind.

What are you guys

going to do afterwards?

Climb to the monastery

and do a little select looting...

...before your friend gets it all.

Hm, that's my baby.

Hey. Charlie.

You want to kiss and make up?

How about just kiss?

You don't have to play

tough guy with me.

- Charlie?

- Yeah?

- Can you make it?

- How quickly they forget.

There's two million bucks up there.

For that kind of money

I'd climb the Empire State Building.

You saw that Braun was drunk,

why did you not help him?

I tried to, but I was afraid of him.

Prior to my command,

had a woman ever been executed here?

- No, sir.

- Hm. We need to set a dramatic example.

- This one will be the first.

- She's only a prostitute...

...being serviced by our troops.

It may not upset the locals.

A housewife would be upsetting,

it implies virtuous women can be next.

- When do you want it done?

- Immediately.

And put this on the loudspeakers -

...if Braun's murderer does not surrender

within the next 48 hours...

...ten more citizens

of Karya will be shot, hm?

Achtung! Achtung!

Wenn der Mrder von Leutnant Braun

sich nicht innerhalb 48 Stunden...

...freiwillig stellt, werden zehn weitere

Einwohner erschossen.

Achtung! Achtung!

You didn't have to kill Braun.

I'll be the judge of that.

I almost paid him off.

He was satisfied with it.

We cannot rely on that indefinitely.

Are we going to kill

the two Americans next?

No, they've been cleared.

How merciful.

And do your superiors know what personal

reason you had for killing Braun?

What kind of a man do you think I am?

We'll find out now.

Are you going to let them

shoot ten more people...

...to save your own skin?

- No one will be killed.

- I don't believe you.

You'll see.

There's a plan.

Will you give yourself up

if it doesn't work?

No.

You're a pig!

Zoe's death will be avenged.

I hope so. Because if I have to,

I'll turn you over to Volkmann myself.

Exquisite. Absolutely exquisite.

Thank you, Professor.

And it does confirm our theory

about the disparity of the time line in this dig.

That is second-century BC.

90% of the rest of the finds

are from the Christian era.

You're right. We've run into the antique

collection of a first-century Greek.

It's a sobering thought, isn't it?

2.000 years ago some rich merchant

looked upon that as ancient times.

- Thank you, Professor.

- Good night, Major.

Oh, I shall tell Sergeant Mann you are

free to drop in whenever you feel like it.

Thank you.

All right. Pick them up.

What's that?

Gift from the Resistance

to the Krauts.

- What's it for?

- A little herb that grows around here.
