EXT. ROAD IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE SFAKIA, CRETE - 1941
Four New Zealand Soldiers make their way quickly through the mountains. Irvine and Green position themselves behind a large rock and set up the detonator. Vincent and McIntyre run the explosives up the hillside above the cliff road.
Irvine lights a cigarette and shares one with Green. Vincent and McIntyre make their way back down the mountainside carefully unraveling the detonation wire.
Vincent and McIntyre arrive behind the rock. Vincent watches Green fumble with the wires.
VINCENT
Alright then give it here.
GREEN
Hold on hold on I’ve got it!!
Green hooks up the wires. The three take cover as Irvine plunges the detonator. BOOM. The hillside shakes violently They’re surrounded by dust. The four stand and admire their handy work. The dust settles. The landslide has well and truly blocked the road.
GREEN (CONT’D)
Nicely done.
Irvine turns and walks away. Green packs up the detonator with Vincent. McIntyre watches a little longer. The dust has separated to reveal the broken hillside. A large wedge of stone is missing. In the centre of the broken rock is something unusual. A large cavernous hole. It stretches open skyward like an mouth opening to be fed. Inside can be seen the distinctly man made shapes of stone hewn greek columns.
MCINTYRE
Lads.
Green and Vincent stand beside Mcintyre looking at the open cavern.
GREEN
Better check it out then.
The four make their way up the mountain.
