Um, is this place open late?

Okay, everybody.
This site dates back
to the fifth century BC.
[CHILDREN FIGHTING]
We'll take a few minutes,
look around,
and then we'll head... Oh!
Careful!
Barbarians.
Where are their parents?
They fled.
Let's carry on up the hill.
And you two come with me.
Watch your step, up here.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
CALLIE: Still here?
Uh, it's a beautiful spot.
I used to cycle up here
to catch the sunrise.
Before I got tired and jaded.
Are you here alone?
Um, no.
My, um, husband's asleep.
When we go on holiday,
he gets...
He, sort of, just collapses.
Somewhat of a workaholic.
Ah, I know this type of husband.
Nancy wants to know
if there are rest-rooms around?
She can't wait.
Unless Nancy
fancies the bushes...
[OLD LADY SIGHS]
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS]
You're welcome to join us,
if you like.
Um, I will, of course, pay you.
No, please,
just buffer me from this lot.
This sanctuary is named after
the mythical goddess Nemesis.
Do you know anything about her?
Wasn't she the goddess of love?
No, far from it.
She was also known as Adrasteia.
Which roughly translates as
"one from whom
there is no escape."
The poet Mesomedes
wrote a hymn to her
in the second century AD,
addressing her as
"winged balancer of life,
"goddess of fury,
daughter of justice."
Nemesis was, by all standards,
quite the gal.
Basically, she was
an avenger of crime.
She governed human actions
and punished arrogance,
or hubris.
She took no prisoners.
Okay, do you know what else
this area was known for?
- Rocks?
- [TOURISTS CHUCKLE]
CALLIE: Wars and pirate raids.
At the time, there was
a series of brutal invasions.
You might just be sitting here,
minding your own business,
and then, all of a sudden,
it's just rape and pillage.
- WOMAN 5: God!
- CALLIE: Yeah.
But what was it like?
To live here.
I mean, what was it like
to live here?
It was a real city
with streets, squares,
paintings,
running water,
hot and cold.
They destroyed temples
that took 50 years to build.
This was retribution.
It's almost as if the goddess
Nemesis cooked it up herself.
Psycho.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Okay, so, as you
wander around this area,
I'd like you to imagine
what it was like
to live under the glare
of a vengeful goddess.
Here you are.
Take a couple,
pass it around, hmm.
You good? Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.
Thanks for the question.
Do you always stay with them?
Mostly.
But...
- CALLIE: Hmm?
- Hmm. Thanks.
CALLIE: Yeah.
I'm Callie.
- Jacqueline.
- Jacqueline. Hmm.
You're not Greek?
No, um, American.
- Hmm.
- But
I, I fell for this
strong, machismo,
- Greek god type.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Um, got married.
Moved here,
and, uh, fell into this.
Where are you from?
Liberia.
- CALLIE: Oh! East Africa...
- West.
West, right. Sorry.
Idiot. [CHUCKLES]
So, what is Liberia like?
It's, uh...
Actually, um,
we're London-based.
- Mmm.
- Nomads, really.
So, you're just
vacationing here?
I was just wondering
where you were staying.
Um, some rental house.
A place in the south.
Oh, beautiful.
I love that area.
I know it well. Which one?
Something Villa, I,
I don't remember the name,
my husband took care of it.
- Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
- Yeah.
Sorry, I'm asking
too many questions.
- No.
- [CHUCKLES]
[CALLIE SIGHS]
Well, I should probably
get my group back together.
Okay.
Um, if you and your husband
ever want a private tour...
Yeah.
Okay. Hmm.

And Jaja! So fine!
How is England?
- Oh, fine, thank you.
- And you have the accent!
Let's see if she keeps it
when she comes back for good.
Daddy!
You have the right table

But, of course!
'Cause we only have her
for a short time,
so we want everything
to be perfect.

I'm fine, thank you.
Hello.

Hello. How are you?
Minister, have you heard
about the riots?
MR. KAMARA: I'm with my family,
we'll talk later.
They'll cook the best food
for my Jaja, won't they?
Be right back with the menus.
MR. KAMARA: Mmm.
MRS. KAMARA: Big man,
what did they
want to talk about?
MR. KAMARA: It's nothing.
Don't worry.

Aren't you the early bird?
[JACQUELINE CHUCKLES]
Have they gone?
Almost.
Yeah.
Yep.
- Hmm?
- No, thank you.
I don't like them
to see me smoke.
Because, otherwise,
the older ones
won't tip me
at the end of the week.
They say that, "She'll only
spend it on cigarettes."
- What about the younger ones?
- Mmm.
- They don't tip anyway.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Oops.
- Oh.
Have you heard
of Isadora Duncan?
She had a whole
Greek thing going on.
She strangled herself

disaffection in the country.
Job opportunities are scarce,
and educated young men
remain unemployed.
I spoke with Musa,
who says the frustration
among young people
is palpable and growing.
He's worried
it could tip into violence.
MAN 7: [ON RADIO] Better I remain
hungry with no future to come
than to be disturbed
by violence.
Because with uprising,
you don't have no peace.
DRIVER: Gate is open!
Where are the security guards?
MR. KAMARA:
I can't believe this!
WOMAN 6: [ON RADIO]

He cannot have gone.

What is this?

Oh, thank God!

Since food is what you need.
Uh, but I eat
like a horse, so...
I'll probably eat mine
and then I'll wolf down yours.
I think you've done
enough for me.
No!
It'd just be great to have
someone to eat with is all.
I'm sure it would.
But my, um,
my husband's waiting for me.

This sanctuary is named after
the mythical goddess Nemesis.
Do you know anything about her?
Wasn't she the goddess of love?
No, far from it.
She was also known as Adrasteia.
Which roughly translates as
"one from whom
there is no escape."
The poet Mesomedes
wrote a hymn to her
in the second century AD,
addressing her as
"winged balancer of life,
"goddess of fury,
daughter of justice."
Nemesis was, by all standards,
quite the gal.
Basically, she was
an avenger of crime.
She governed human actions
and punished arrogance,
or hubris.
She took no prisoners.
Okay, do you know what else
this area was known for?
- Rocks?
- [TOURISTS CHUCKLE]
CALLIE: Wars and pirate raids.
At the time, there was
a series of brutal invasions.
You might just be sitting here,
minding your own business,
and then, all of a sudden,
it's just rape and pillage.
- WOMAN 5: God!
- CALLIE: Yeah.
But what was it like?
To live here.
I mean, what was it like
to live here?
It was a real city
with streets, squares,
paintings,
running water,
hot and cold.
They destroyed temples
that took 50 years to build.
This was retribution.
It's almost as if the goddess
Nemesis cooked it up herself.
Psycho.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Okay, so, as you
wander around this area,
I'd like you to imagine
what it was like
to live under the glare
of a vengeful goddess.
Here you are.
Take a couple,
pass it around, hmm.
You good? Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.

Do you always stay with them?

So, what is Liberia like?
It's, uh...
Actually, um,
we're London-based.

So, you're just

Um, some rental house.

Uh, hi, it's Jacqueline.
Um, I was wondering

Okay.

This is my treat.
I insist.
Unless you, uh, you're busy
and you changed your mind.
I'm not. And I haven't.
And since you have insisted...
[JACQUELINE CHUCKLES]
Uh, the guy here
is kind of a prick,
but the food is,
it's quite something.
- Okay.
- Table for two, please.

to this area before?
JACQUELINE: Um...
With, uh, my husband, or maybe
by myself, um.
My memory's pretty poor.
Um.
I watched you swim, earlier.
Um, you're a really
strong swimmer.
But, um,
I used to swim a lot myself.
And, um,
here and here,
you're really hard on your body.
My body let me down.
My husband and I, we,
we tried for a baby.
But...
You know, these Greeks...
Everything is about family, so,
so, to not...
Well.
We tried.
But his whole family, they,
they all knew
it was me that couldn't.
Well, it takes two
to make a baby.
Um.
I have no husband.
I lied.
[STAMMERS] I just thought
I'd tell you that, because...
[SIGHS]
[STAMMERS] I'm not
a very good conversationalist.
[CHUCKLES]
I also have no husband.
What?
Mine's gone.
The choice is
to live out the failure here,
or carry it back to New York.
It's a kick in the face
or a punch in the stomach.
[LAUGHS]
It's good to just
sit.
[CALLIE AND JACQUELINE LAUGHING]
I thought you were the one
with the appetite.
I did tell you that.
[LAUGHS]
Um,
excuse me?
Can we have the bill, please?
Thank you.
[BAG UNZIPS]
We can go Dutch.
No.
I've got this.

No!
What's wrong?
Sorry.
Uh.
[STAMMERS] She...
We, we.
We'd been out, that day.
I think it was a good day.
I remember that.
And when we got home, he,
he wouldn't listen, he just
froze.
I was so mad at him.
There were so many of them.
They were
children.
Probably why they felt like
they were playing a game,
they were just
having fun.
