Thanos and Despina Page #5

- Police!

- Shall we go call the police?

Let's go.

Karavidas. You don't

have the right.

Karavidas. Think it over.

Be careful.

For God's sake.

You can't do this

to our society.

To us honest men.

Mr. Vlahopoulos is right.

Let's call the police.

Forgive me Vlahopoulos.

Karavidas keeps his word.

Forgive me. It already happened.

It's gone now.

- He's an Orthodox.

- Jesus has resurrected boss Karavidas.

- He has risen from the dead.

- He's a blasphemer.

He doesn't believe in God.

He's a thief. A murderer. A dog.

- What has he done after all?

- I don't know.

- So you don't want him in jail.

- I can't, Vlahopoulos.

Don't you understand?

But I'll send him away.

I'll throw him outside.

Out there he'll die from hunger.

You'll see.

- The police is coming.

- It's coming.

Lula.

No, you're crazy! I don't want to.

Well... Listen, Karavidas.

Prick up your ears.

Karavidas.

If you are a known gentleman

with property.

Today afternoon, you sent me

a matchmaking.

You sent your snitch, Papadimas.

You want my daughter's dowery.

A dowery like that of course,

only Vlahopoulos can give.

You are from our village.

Vlahopoulos probably

wouldn't refuse.

Listen to me, Karavidas.

After what happened. After this

scandal here in front of everybody.

Vlahopoulos be careful

of what you'll say.

Karavidas, Vlahopoulos, just like you,

always keeps his word.

Here is my son-in-law.

Zacharias Soulas, a scientist.

Let's go.

Vlahopoulos.

You will pay for this.

You will pay for this insult.

I swear by Jesus Christ.

In my son's life,

I'll have my revenge.

Where is this damn thief.

Where is the shrew's son.

He will pay too.

Where are you, Yangos?

Where are you? Yangos!

They offended your father.

- I lost my honor.

- Save my son.

Mercy. Thanos! Where is Thanos?

Thanos!

She's at the school. Hurry.

She's crazy.

Tell her to be quick. Her father

will kill her if he finds out.

He'll kill us all. Hurry.

Where? At the school?

There is no-one there.

They are away on vacations.

- What?

- On vacations.

Jesus Christ! Hurry up!

- Shepherd! You know where the

school is? -Sure.

Then run.

Come quickly.

I'm waiting for you.

Thanos!

Come here.

There could be people

passing by.

I have to talk to you, Thanos!

I don't have much time.

I'm in a hurry.

It's yours. Take it.

Take it now and leave, Thanos.

Run.

You can sell it.

It's expensive.

It's my engagement present.

Sell it and get out of here.

Travel abroad, to Australia,

wherever you want.

Despina, come quickly.

We have to leave right now.

Please, Thanos! Please!

Take it now.

Quickly, Thanos, I have to go.

Pick it up, shepherd.

Crawl on your belly.

You are great at crawling.

Bring it back to me

right this instant.

- Despina.

- Shut up. I'm coming.

Despina.

I can't wait any longer.

Let's get out of here.

Get up, Despina.

- Give me my shoes.

- Get up.

The rocks on the street are

waiting for your bare feet.

Lula.

Get up, Despina. I'm hungry.

Let's go.

Go? Where to? I have to...

You came to bring me this necklace.

You want me to sell it.

But no one will believe that

such an expensive piece of jewelry

belongs to a thieving shepherd

like Thanos Zekos.

They will throw him in jail.

So come with me.

Together we can sell it.

Unless you are only pretending

that you're trying to save me

just to send me to jail.

If you bring salvation,

don't offer only half of it.

Half a good deed, makes the

worst damage. It can eat a person.

Let's leave.

But I can't.

I can't.

The shepherd...

He's killing her! Despina!

Come on, Zacharias.

Get her.

Yangos!

Is that you, Yangos?

Damn it. Go to hell.

- What are you doing?

- Can't you see? I'm waiting.

- For whom?

- Your father, of course.

- Where is he?

- Looking for the lost ones. You.

Come here, Despina. Come at once.

It's not Despina, father.

Come at once.

Despina. Come here I said.

- Who is it?

- Lula. She's...

Lula? It's Lula?

And what about Despina?

Where is Despina?

Only she knows,

but she can't say it.

She doesn't speak. She has a

nervous breakdown. She's mute.

Catch her. Stavros! Kostas!

Get her.

Get her at once.

- She's broken. She needs a sedative.

- Get her my lad, like that.

Sit her down. She must relax.

Where is Despina, damn it?

Iro, bring some water.

- Where did you find her?

- On the street.

- Where?

- In front of the church. Mute!

And Despina?

Damn it! Where is Despina?

Lula, my child. Speak to me.

Where is my daughter?

Talk to me. Don't be afraid.

Where is Despina?

Where is Despina?

- Where is Despina?

- Vlahopoulos!

Unlucky father but rich man.

Listen to me.

Who are you? What do you

want from me at this hour?

Don't get angry Vlahopoulos.

Look at the godsend thing I'm tossing.

My sweet Despina.

What happened to you, my daughter?

Look at her shoe! It's Despina's.

Vlahopoulos! You still have time.

Your daughter is still alive

and untouched.

But this won't last for long.

I advice you not to waste time.

Listen carefully, Vlahopoulos.

Put 3.000 in a bag

and in return you'll learn where

your daughter is and with whom.

Poor rich man.

For just a fragment of your fortune

I offer you your honor.

It's your job to defend her.

Quickly, Vlahopoulos.

In an instant I'll vanish into

the night. Vlahopoulos, pay attention.

Your daughter is with

Katina Zekou's son.

The shepherd.

I can't tell you who drags who

and who's following.

Don't play smart.

Where were you?

You are not even capable

of kneeling down.

Me? An old lady pleading

on your behalf?

- Get up, Katina.

- Who is it? you?

Get up, Katina Zekou.

It's me Haralampos.

Haralampos? But I'm

waiting for Karavidas.

I have to smooth-talk him. My son...

No, Katina. The time

for pleading is over.

The time for mercy is over.

The charity is over.

Get up.

Go back to your shed.

My son. Where is my son?

What did they do

with my son?

A girl offered him her engagement

necklace out of charity.

She told him to sell it and

leave. Escape jail.

- And?

- He doesn't want it. He's stubborn.

He has what he wants. The girl.

And let her world burn to ashes.

- Is she rich?

- She is the one.

What a pleasure!

My son is born.

I'm going to the shop over there.

I have to get some things.

Come.

Once you hear the noise throw

the stone to the glass.

No! No, Thanos.

I don't want to.

OK, Thanos. I'll do what you want.

The minute you hear noise.

With all your strength.

- On your knees.

- On your knees, Karavidas.

What's the matter? Have you

gone mad? I'm looking for my son.

Your son is in danger.

He thinks he's still

Vlahopoulos's son-in-law.

- He didn't hear him dishonor you.

- Enough. I'm going to bed.

With the battle uniform and a

dagger in his belt runs after his fiancee

or the dowery,

and the honor that her son

grabbed in front of the church.

I don't believe a single thing.

The battle uniform is missing

from your son's room

and also the dagger and himself.

Apart from the lady,
