- I thought I'd find you here.
Marcos, you on the other
hand I didn't expect to see.
What brings you
to Stella's cliff?
- I wanted to show
Baba my special place.
- I see.
I have something here for you.
- Really?
- That's too generous
of you, Zoe, thank you.
- No, Stella deserves them.
So, wanna have a
little lesson today?
- Can I please, Baba?
- Sure, sure, I'll just
stand out of the way.
- Let's see.
Okay, I want you to
grab the seven iron.
Today's lesson is this,
you're gonna tee off
with your eyes closed.
- What, that's impossible.
- Nothing's impossible,
you can do this, Stella.
You just have to believe
it, close your eyes.
Go ahead.
Now, I want you to feel
the sun on your face.
Hear the sound of the waves.
Smell the salt in the air.
And imagine yourself
hitting the perfect shot.
If you can envision yourself
taking the perfect swing,
really seeing and hearing
yourself connect with the ball,
anything is possible.
Now.
See the shot in your head.
Take a deep breath.
Exhale.
And swing away.
- Woo!
- Bravo.
Great shot, bravo, Agapi!
- Baba, did you see, I can
golf with my eyes closed?
- How did you know
she can hit the ball
without looking at it?
- I have a confession to make.
I actually didn't know for sure.
- What?
- Yeah?
- Come on, that could
have been a disaster.
- Yeah, I know,
I know, but, I mean,
don't you find that
the best things in life
come when you're one step
away from catastrophe?
You know, like when
you take a risk.
- Yeah, I think
I know what you mean.
- Pappous, what are
you all doing here?
- We are here for the clinic.
And the free food!
- Okay.
Before we begin let us
bow our heads in prayer.
Dear lord, guide this
flock of virgin golfers
to replace their divots.
Teach them to not stand
when they're hitting.
Remind them to rake all traps.
Compel them to yell "fore"
when they ball may
strike someone's head.
May they enjoy the fruits of
the game and not kill anyone.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Let the chaos begin.
- Please stop with your balls.
Hold your balls.
So how do you win a golf game?
I'll tell you...
You throw your balls,
they get in the hole, and if...
What if you throw too hard
and it goes really far?
Cheers!
So you throw it 900 feet away
and then what?
- Then you lose...
- No, you get another ball.
- You either win or lose...
- No, it's very simple...
You throw it from here,
it goes over there...
Then I get my ball
and I run like hell...
We try to get the balls into the holes!
Cheers!
- Oh my god, it's him.
- Who?
- Henderson.
Henderson!
Get out of here now! All of you!
- What's going on here, Pano?
Who are all these people?
- Hi, you must be Mr. Henderson,
can I get you something
to eat or drink?
- Who are you?
- I'm your pro,
Zoe Papadopoulos.
- Zoe Papadopoulos,
you hired Zoe Papadopoulos
as the golf pro?
The meltdown queen of the LPGA?
What were you gonna do?
To hold a clinic
on golf etiquette?
- Everything okay here, Glenn?
- Yeah, everything's fine,
this has nothing to
do with our deal.
- Deal?
What deal, sir?
- You know, maybe today
really isn't the kinda day
We'll try it again tomorrow.
Antonopoulos would
you take these guys
back to the yacht, please?
- Deal, what are you
talking about, sir?
- None of your goddamn business.
- I thought we were partners.
- Oh, we're not partners.
You're fired.
- What?
- And that goes
for Ms. yips, too.
You can relax because
your little village
is about to become a
world-class destination.
I'm selling this property
and they're gonna build
a five star golf resort.
- You're selling.
- Sir, you just bought it.
- It's gonna be a kind
of a club med here.
We're gonna have a hotel,
shopping, resort, restaurants,
there's even gonna
be a waterpark,
and maybe you could find
yourself a job flipping burgers
at one of the many
convenient poolside cafes.
As for the rest of you,
get the hell outta here.
This place is closed.
- Wow, you really know
how to liven up a party.
- Are you okay?
- Of course not, son of a b*tch.
- Panayiotis, we can fix this.
- Oh, come on, how
can I fix this?
He has the money,
the power, the glory.
- You have the
power of your own.
We all have the power!
- Sorry, what are you
guys talking about?
- Come on, don't you remember?
All the work.
- Come with me.
- What, where we're going?
- Panayiotis, what is this mess?
- What exactly are
you guys looking for?
- My weapon.
- What?
- I'm going to destroy him.
- Look, this is not a solution.
Violence isn't the answer.
- Here, I found
it, the contract.
Panayiotis represented the
town in the land purchase.
It's the last deal we
made before closing the firm.
- I'm done with him,
this cheap, lying,
gambling-addicted bastard.
Be quiet, please! Quiet!
Sit down! Quiet!
Shut up!
The mayor is speaking!
Come on, mayor.
We're here to discuss...
The options to Mr. Henderson's
development plans.
What are our legal rights?
Options?
Rights?
What rights could we have after that idiot
Panayiotis signed them all away?
I have the contract.
Quiet, you! You're the one
who got us into this mess.
- Come on, let him
talk, give him a chance.
- The contract says,
"notwithstanding the
sale of the property
"by the buyer at
any future date,
"all development right are
hereby exclusively reserved
"by the village named herein
"and therefore any and all new
development of the property,
"both now and in
perpetuity shall be subject
"to the full approval
of the same."
Understand it?
What the hell does that mean?
Listen, listen.
Henderson cannot go
through with his plans
unless we allow it, okay?
- That hotel and the new
building and the parking lot,
the last thing they
do is put it in.
All right, Roland,
stay with me on this.
I'm thinking luxury
suites right here
to take advantage of the
five star oceanfront view
and then we go shopping,
shopping, shopping,
and then on that pad,
that one up there,
is where the Aegean sea finally
comes to face to face with its
natural enemy, the waterpark.
Oh my god.
It's the village people.
It's like a scene
out of a movie,
but they usually come with
torches and pitchforks.
Excuse me, people, you are,
Antonopoulos, come here.
Would you please tell
them in gibberish
that they're trespassing
on private property?
He wants you
to give up your own land.
The barbarian.
Thank you very much, that was
very heartfelt, what he said.
- You might want to read again
the contract, Mr. Henderson,
there is a clause in it
that protect this
land even from you.
You cannot hammer a single
nail without our permission.
And we do not give him
the permission. Do we?
No!
- Bullshit.
All right, it's a technicality.
I'm willing to deal
with some legal issues.
- That's your choice,
but I can personally guarantee
