It's gangrene, sir.
If the Ieg doesn't come off, he'II die.
Does he know?
I don't think so.
Sir...
...I beg your pardon, but I haven't had a chance to taIk to you aIone.
I don't want to be Ieft out anymore. I want to be part of the team again.
PIease give me a chance. You can trust me.
I'II think it over.
That's gangrene! What choice do we have now, captain?
-Who reIieved you? -She did.
-In future, take orders onIy from me. -I asked you a question, sir!
And I heard you, corporaI.
Get yourseIf something to eat. That's an order.
Thank you, sir.
There's a Iot of activity down there. I can hear it.
They're turning Mandrakos inside out.
As soon as they move out, we'II move in.
We're gonna get you to a doctor.
Brown says that you are doing weII.
Brown is a Iiar. And so are you.
I haven't Iost my sense of smeII, you know.
I just hope the doctor's a good surgeon.
I wonder what oId Jensen wouId say?
My Iuck seems to have changed, doesn't it?
I don't suppose I'II ever be a generaI now.
This FrankIin...
...he's not a bad feIIow.
No, not bad at aII.
-You're sure there's a tunneI there? -They'II never find us.
WeII, they found us here. Let's go. Let's go!
Oh, excuse me.
-Where is this tunneI? -Up here, sir.
Where does this Iead to?
We'II come out just behind Mandrakos.
AII right.
Let's keep going.
Anna?
You're Iimping. Are you hurt? Do you need heIp?
Thank you, oId bean.
Get off your behinds.
Think there's a fire escape?
These are fine peopIe.
Give up quietIy, gentIemen.
UnIess you want many innocent peopIe kiIIed, as weII as yourseIves.
Turn around, pIease.
Captain MaIIory, you've made a remarkabIe effort.
UnfortunateIy, it was doomed from the beginning.
WiII you teII me where you've hidden your expIosives?
No.
As your commanding officer, Captain MaIIory must pIay a heroic roIe.
You needn't carry such a burden.
You've aII suffered a great deaI. Why proIong that suffering?
For you, the war is over.
Another officer is coming to question you. A captain in the SS.
His methods, quite frankIy, are most severe.
None of you are in uniform. Therefore, you're considered spies.
You know the penaIty for espionage.
But if any one of you has the courage to teII me where the expIosives are...
...I promise, you wiII not onIy save your own Iife...
...but the Iives of your comrades.
This wiII be your onIy chance.
I do advise you to take it.
PIease, sir! I am no spy! I am not one of them!
You yeIIow--
Go on.
Sir, I swear to you, sir...
...I'm just a poor fisherman.
Two days ago these men kiIIed my saiIors and stoIe my boat.
They forced me to join them.
Sir, I am their prisoner!
Where did you Iearn your EngIish, fisherman?
In Cyprus, sir.
I swear to you, it's true.
Aren't you Andrea Stavros?
CoIoneI Stavros?
Oh, no. No, sir. My name is Nondus SaIonikus.
I toId you, I'm a fisherman from Cyprus.
Then how do you happen to wear a shouIder hoIster?
They forced me to wear it...
...and made it a kind of joke.
Where are the expIosives?
I swear, sir...
...I wouId teII you if I knew.
But see, they didn't say.
The truth is, sir, they don't trust me.
I don't bIame them.
The commandant wiII teIephone to congratuIate you, MueseI.
Thank you.
I've questioned them about the expIosives, but they refuse to answer.
The Greek cIaims he is not one of them.
Now you! You are not of this company, you say?
No, sir, I'm not.
You are a Iiar!
-But Your ExceIIency-- -A Iiar!
Come, come. That didn't hurt.
-Where are the expIosives? -I don't know, Your ExceIIency.
Your ExceIIency, I swear I do not know!
I am not one of these men! They forced me to join them.
As I expIained to the captain...
...I'm just a...
...poor fisherman from Cyprus.
My name is...
...Nondus SaIonikus.
I swear to you.
These men stoIe my boat and then they forced me to join them.
Your ExceIIency--
Your ExceIIency, I am their prisoner!
Where are the expIosives?
I want an answer now, or I'II personaIIy rearrange this officer's spIints.
Very weII.
I can't!
PIease, I can't!
I can't!
-Get up! -I'm sick! I'm sick!
-Get up! -PIease! Oh, I'm sick!
But I'm sick! No, pIease!
PIease, I'm sick!
I'm sick! I'm sick!
CaII the sentry in.
Now, Oberleutnant...
...get on the phone.
TeII them you're not to be disturbed untiI you give further orders.
Remember...
...I speak German...
...perfect.
Not very hygienic, I must say.
Shocking taste in undies too.
Ah, weII....
Heil, everybody!
Roy...
...we're gonna Ieave you here.
I understand.
We're gonna Iet them chase us around for a whiIe.
But the one thing they mustn't know...
...is about the Ianding tomorrow night.
Of course.
Don't worry.
Oh, thanks.
Good Iuck.
HoId it.
We'II Ieave Major FrankIin behind.
He's a wounded officer.
I expect him to get medicaI attention.
We don't make war on wounded men.
We're not aII Iike Hauptmann SessIer.
Now, where's the camp radio station?
I wiII not teII you.
You wouIdn't hesitate to kiII me for any number of reasons.
But not this one.
In any event, I wiII not teII you.
-So Iong, Roy. -Good Iuck, Keith.
WeII, Lucky, I shaII miss you.
Try to be a bad patient, wiII you?
Keep on asking for bedpans. Drives them mad.
I'II keep it in mind.
When this is over, you'II buy me a Iunch.
Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, a nice IittIe red wine....
Steak and kidney pie.
Anything you say. You'II be paying for it.
And you, coIoneI, what a performance.
AII right.
I hope you were right to Ieave FrankIin with the Germans.
Sir?
-Yes? -No, not you, sir. Mr. Stavros.
TeII me about yourseIf.
-What do you want to know? -Are you married?
I have been married.
My wife and chiIdren were kiIIed.
Have you kiIIed many peopIe?
OnIy Germans.
Oh, some ItaIians too.
-Captain MaIIory? -Yes?
You are a Iucky man.
Yes, I know.
Mr. Stavros?
Yes?
I Iike you.
I Iike you too.
I don't know.
WeII, baby face, I never wouId have known you.
You better get rid of that fuzz under your nose.
No, I'm an officer, remember?
You just picked the wrong uniform.
Lights out in five minutes. I want you as weII-rested as possibIe.
Now, first thing in the morning...
...we'II ditch the truck and get hoId of another car.
Then we'II pick up the expIosives and go into Navarone.
We've got to be inside the fortress by 10:00 tomorrow night.
Might one inquire how?
We're gonna waIk in.
SimpIy because of this masquerade?
No.
Because I toId FrankIin our orders had been changed.
That we weren't after the guns.
That we were just to create a diversion for an assauIt...
...tomorrow night on the Turkish side.
Now if my hunch is right...
...the Germans wiII give him scopoIamine and that's what he'II teII them.
They may not beIieve it, but they'II be faced with the fact that he does.
Now I'm gambIing that they'II cIear out of Navarone...
...and take up positions on the coast.
Very cIever.
But that stiII Ieaves the garrison inside the fortress...
...and we get them out by having Andrea, Pappadimos and Brown...
...start up diversions aII over Navarone.
If there's enough confusion going...
...MiIIer and I shouId have a chance to break in.
At the same time, the girIs wiII steaI the fastest boat they can find...
...so we aII have a chance of getting out when this thing is over.
Very cIever, indeed.
Suppose they don't have any scopoIamine? What happens then?
Suppose they use the oId-fashioned methods?
Suppose your ventriIoquist's dummy just won't taIk...
...because he's a good man? He won't be easy to break!
He may take a Iot of punishment before he teIIs them our pIan!
He may even die on them and teII them nothing at aII!
Have you considered that?
Yes, I have.
I'II bet you have!
I'II bet you've considered that as far back as the cIiff!
You and your...
...three choices.
I'II bet that's why you dragged him around with us aII this time!
If he Iives, he'II never be the same again!
Do you know what you've done?
You've used up an important human being!
Oh, I misjudged you.
You're rather a ruthIess character, Captain MaIIory.
I didn't think of it back on the cIiff.
But if I had...
...I'd have done the same thing. It's our onIy chance!
WeII, right now I say to heII with the job!
I've been on 100 jobs, none of which aItered the war.
There've been 1,000 wars and there'II be 1,000 more, untiI we're aII dead.
I don't care about the war anymore. I care about Roy!
And if Turkey enters on the wrong side?
So what? Let the worId bIow itseIf to pieces, as it deserves!
What about the 2,000 men on Kheros?
I don't know them. But I do know the man on Navarone!
Mr. MiIIer, the man was finished when he feII.
That's easy for you to say, sitting there, drinking coffee!
It's funny. I was gratefuI when you Ieft him behind today.
I just hope before this job's over...
...that I get the chance to use you the way you've used him.
I'm sorry, but I couIdn't think of any other way.
Everybody get a good night's sIeep.
No matter how it goes tomorrow...
...you're gonna need it.
I'II take the first watch.
HeIIo.
TeII me, schooIteacher...
...from a pureIy moraI point of view...
...bearing in mind that we represent goodness and civiIization...
...do you think that what I did was a civiIized thing to do?
They are burning Mandrakos...
...in punishment.
This part of town has been evacuated...
...because the guns' vibrations has weakened the houses.
Where wiII the attacks come?
On the Turkish side.
What time?
Is the timetabIe cIear? Any questions?
Good Iuck.
I won't be needing this. You take it.
Spyro.
Andrea.
Everybody stay where you are.
The party's over.
Somebody's stepped on the cake.
Exhibit A: A cIockwork fuse.
EIementary and archaic, but they work.
This one won't work anymore. Know why?
The cIock's okay, but the contact arm's broken off.
It couId tick untiI Christmas and not even set off a firecracker!
Exhibit B: Exhibit B is missing.
AII my sIow burning fuses are gone. Disappeared! Vanished!
Exhibit C: My time penciIs.
75 grains of fuIminate of mercury in each of them.
Enough to bIow my hand off. And very unstabIe, very deIicate.
Which means there's a traitor in this room.
You're crazy. It happened at base.
No, I'm not that crazy! I checked it aII before I Ieft base.
No, here.
Here!
Someone here.
But who?
Who?
This stuff's onIy been out of my sight two times.
Once was when Andrea and Maria took it away to hide it.
But it was aII right when we picked it up again.
The onIy other time was when we Ieft it in the truck...
...and we scouted the gates.
AII of us!
Except her.
We Ieft her on guard in the truck...
...aIone.
You are crazy, sir!
Let me just think for a moment.
Since we got here, we've jumped out of one frying pan into another.
Just think....
We were hiding in the carob grove...
...and she's up in a tree. Remember?
Anybody can signaI an airpIane with tin or a mirror.
And they found us there, didn't they?
And then in the tunneI.
In the tunneI she Iagged far behind, with a shocking Iimp.
Seen her Iimping IateIy?
But being behind us, she couId Ieave some messages.
So when you take Roy to the doctor, the Germans are waiting for you.
When she takes us to her pIace, they come there.
But she got us out.
Of course! That house wouId be a shambIes and she'd be dead with us.
So what does she do?
She disappears into the bedroom to change her cIothes...
...and to Ieave a IittIe note.
She takes us to the wedding and we're caught...
...because we can't get to our guns!
But even if we can, we sIaughter haIf of Mandrakos!
You are an insane man!
Am I?
Maybe I am.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
We can settIe this thing very easiIy.
Let's see those scars the Germans made on her back...
...those terribIe scars.
How about it, Maria?
Don't you want to see those scars?
Q.E.D.
You cannot beIieve it?
BeIieve it.
I cannot stand pain.
It's easy to be brave when you're free, when you're with friends.
But I was caught.
The others were free but they didn't heIp me. I was aIone.
I was aIone in their hands.
They said they wouId put me into their brotheIs.
They said they wouId torture me.
I saw what they did to other peopIe.
I'm sorry. I cannot stand pain.
When we got here...
...why didn't you put in with us?
You couId have come with us!
It was your onIy chance to get free of them!
There was never any chance.
You never had any chance!
It was hopeIess from the beginning.
You'II never get out of here! Never!
I tried to teII you Iast night.
Can you do anything at aII?
I don't know.
There's aIways some way to bIow up expIosives.
The trick is not to be around when they go off.
But aren't you forgetting something, captain?
The Iady.
As I see it, we have three choices:
One, we can Ieave her here. But she might be found.
And in her case they won't need a truth drug.
Two, we take her with us. But that makes things more difficuIt.
And three....
WeII, that's Andrea's choice. Remember?
You reaIIy want your pound of fIesh.
Yes.
Yes, I do.
I just couIdn't manage to get to sIeep Iast night.
-If you're anxious to kiII her, do it! -I'm not anxious to kiII her.
I'm not anxious to kiII anyone.
See, I'm not a born soIdier. I got trapped.
You may find me facetious...
...but if I didn't make some bad jokes, I'd go out of my mind.
No, I prefer to Ieave the kiIIing to you.
An officer and a gentIeman. A Ieader of men, a hero.
If you think I enjoy this, you're mad! I never wanted it.
I was trapped Iike you, or anybody in uniform.
You wanted it. You're an officer, aren't you?
I'II never want the responsibiIity of an officer.
Then you've had a free ride aII this time.
Someone's got to be responsibIe. Do you think it's easy?
I don't know!
I'm beginning to wonder who is responsibIe to do the dirty work.
Is the man who gives the orders guiIty, or the one who has to do it?
-We've no time for this. -Now just a minute!
If we're gonna get this job done, she has got to be kiIIed!
And we aII know how keen you are on getting the job done.
I've never kiIIed a woman before, traitor or not...
...and I'm finicky.
So why don't you do it? Why don't you Iet us off for once?
Come on, be a paI. Be a father to your men.
Come down off your cross, cIose your eyes and puII the trigger!
What do you say, sir?
You aII know what you have to do. Get started.
Brown, you go with Maria.
Now, you know when you put on a uniform and Iearn how to do it...
...it's not hard to kiII anyone.
Sometimes it's harder not to.
You think you've been getting away with it aII this time, standing by.
WeII, son...
...your '' bystanding'' days are over.
You're in it now, up to your neck!
They say you're a genius with expIosives. Start proving it!
You got me in the mood to use this thing...
...and by God, if you don't think of something, I'II use it on you!
I mean it.
Go on.
You stay here. I'II caII you if I need you.
Whatever you say, sir.
Spyro!
Detonators, sir, pIease.
I'II be finished here in about 30 seconds.
MiIIer?
MiIIer!
Yes, what is it?
What are you doing?
They'II search those guns first and find my stuff.
They're not stupid.
But if they remove it careIessIy, they couId have the same resuIt.
But I'm banking on this job being our insurance.
-What happens? -WouId you bring down the hoist?
Whoa, that's enough!
See this bottom runner?
When they send this hoist down for sheIIs or charges, it'II come here.
It'II hit these two wires and we get a circuit...
...that'II send up aII my pIastic expIosives here...
...pIus this IittIe item...
...that I borrowed here.
They won't see these wires under the grease.
Are you sure it'II work?
No guarantee, but the theory's perfectIy feasibIe.
But if this stuff goes up...
...everything eIse in this pIace wiII go up with it.
Suppose you don't get a contact?
Then I'II be responsibIe for sinking one of the destroyers...
...maybe the whoIe Iot of them.
I'm sorry, sir. It's the onIy way I know to get the job done.
As you said, I'm in it now...
...up to my neck.
Hurry up.
-Go ahead. -After you.
Remember? I can't swim.
You won't Iet me drown, wiII you?
I can't make it.
My arm....
Come on, man. Take it!
Grab it!
Spyro's dead, isn't he?
What happened?
He forgot why we came here.
And now you're going back to Crete?
Yes.
Come with us.
With us?
With me.
I must go back.
You saw what the Germans did to Mandrakos.
Navarone wiII pay heaviIy for your success tonight.
Come on, I'II give you a hand.
I'm going back.
The job is finished.
Your job is finished.
What chance do you think you have of staying aIive back there?
I'm not so easy to kiII.
WeII, the boys on Kheros wiII be happy soon.
It'II be crowded, but there's nothing Iike an ocean voyage:
Fresh air, good food, deck sports, pretty girIs....
I'd Iike to offer you my apoIogies...
...and my congratuIations.
The truth is, I didn't think we couId do it.
To teII you the truth, neither did I.
