only I can tell you

where the opponents will

face each other.

Where is Yangos?

Where is my son?

I'm begging you.

My only son. Where is he?

- For God's sake, tell me.

- On your knees.

On your knees.

Lick it.

Lick it, Karavidas.

Don't forget to call me

as soon as possible.

- And inform me on what your father...

- It isn't worth it.

- They mean nothing to me now.

- But it's ridiculous.

Everything can be fixed.

Despina could just possibly...

Get going.

Climb up.

There you are again on the machine.

Ready to go for revenge.

Your machine needs wings.

Thanos is flying in the sky.

All the better.

This way he will fall from higher

into the hell I'm

preparing for him.

It's better to have a poor son-in-law

than a whore for a daughter

and a name that is not fitting

even for the dogs.

You are nothing now. Nothing.

Only bones from a dead carcus,

under the sun.

Keep walking, Despina.

Go on.

From up there where you stand

you shouldn't be afraid of

some little misfortunes.

Walk. You Parthenon.

No. No. Don't hit me anymore.

I'm walking.

I'm walking.

Thanos! You hurt me.

Don't hit me you damn stinky shepherd.

Can't you see I'm walking?

You're saying I hurt you,

you damn whore?

Can't you see I'm hitting you?

A thief!

- Call me a thief.

- Shepherd.

I'm not a shepherd anymore.

I'm not stinky either.

Goat-man.

I'm raising the revolutionary flag

I grabbed from your family's treasure.

You stinky goat.

- You!

- Slave!

My plunder in this suitsace.

- Stench!

- Honor raider.

- Beggar!

- I castrate.

Son of a whore!

Thanos, please. Don't start again.

Yes. You are a thief.

The greatest thief! Gangster!

A murderer! I love you!

I love you!

I love you, thief.

I love you, murderer.

I love you, vulture.

I love you, castrator.

I love you, dishonesty.

My family's ashes.

My name's carcus.

"In a few minutes the Easter

sun will rise."

- "A day of love and friendship."

- I love you.

- "Jesus has resurrected."

- I love you.

"Greece has resurrected.

Hooray to the revolution."

Devastator. I love you.

- Don't leave me, love.

- I'm leaving you, love.

Take this.

But why, father?

Why are you doing this, father?

It's a crime.

Why is it a crime you student?

But it's your crops.

One whole year's work.

No, you dentist. Keep this in mind.

These ruined plants are

nothing but our honor,

our own honor.

But it's as good as murder.

They'll put me in jail.

But you are already murdered

and dishonored, Pericles.

And now think. The penalty for

revenge on a matter of honor

is light. We are in Greece.

You'll be out of jail in no time

and you'll keep your head high.

This is your land.

Send her shame away.

For the last time.

If you won't handle this,

I will.

I'll erase you from this world.

I'll erase your mother, your daughter

and finally I'll erase myself.

- Keep quiet.

- Keep it down please.

Jesus has resurrected Mr. Mayor.

Who? The head of the prefecture?

As an example? But of course

I'll follow his orders.

Yes. Thanos Zekos.

He signs his crimes.

If he knows how to write?

But see...

Despina.

Despina, wait.

It's me, Yangos.

It's Yangos. Stop.

Stop.

Don't come any closer.

Despina. It's me, Yangos. I've come

to help you. What happened?

Go away and don't look at me.

I've come to help you, Despina.

- I found these shoes.

- Get lost.

Go back where you came from.

- Go to hell.

- What is wrong?

What did they do to you?

What is this mess?

It's none of your business.

I'll survive on my own. Go!

It's this crook's fault, right?

What did he do to you?

Don't you understand?

Despina, I'm here to save you.

Take revenge.

But first of all I want to know

if he.. if he touched you.

- Are you still...

- I'm still alive.

My name's Despina Vlahopoulou.

If I was touched I'd have

commited suicide.

Go away. My family's men

are on their way.

They come to kill that piece of

garbage, that dared to look at me.

No, Despina, I'll go. I'll do it.

Quickly. Tell me where he is.

For the last time, Karavidas,

I order you to go away.

The Vlahopoulos family is coming.

- If you stay here...

- Despina Vlahopoulou.

Yangos Karavidas, your fiancee.

My fiancee?

- Who made you my fiancee?

- Vlahopoulos.

Your father in front of the church.

I've been looking for you ever since.

Lula told me that this slave

this shepherd, Thanos Zekos,

- at the school he...

- Shut up.

Never say this name again

in front of me

until it's fully erased

until my eyes see this sewer

this worm to be stepped on.

To make him dust.

He grabbed me in front of the church.

He made me follow him.

He put his knife on my back.

He brought me to

the school to rape me.

He threw himself on me.

He hit me.

He spinned me. He humiliated me.

Shut up, Despina.

Just tell me where he is.

I'll find him and stab him.

Calm down, fiancee.

Calm down.

Listen to me.

I want to watch him die.

I want to see you punish him.

- My revenger.

- Let's go, Despina.

Stop! Save my son!

Save him! Save my son!

Stop, Vlahopoulos.

Stop.

What is wrong? Who dares?

On a day like this, a day of

life and resurrection.

I ask from you to save my son

who is in danger.

He's a crook, a thief.

Here in your own village, my priest,

the father went on to kill my son.

She is bad, she's a whore.

Save my son, in the name of

the one you say you represent.

Quiet. Quiet.

I only have spiritual power.

I promise to pray for you.

Pray and repent.

Forgive each other.

Love each other.

For the rest, go to the police.

Look, my family is coming.

My family's men.

Let's go.

Wait here. I'll return

with his eyes in my hand.

Thanos!

Thanos!

Thanos!

- Thanos!

- Slut!

B*tch.

Slut. Whore. F***ing slut!

Don't let them. They must not

go up there. They're armed.

If the shepherd sees them,

he'll kill my son.

Stay calm. Stay calm, Mr Karavidas

My men will be there first.

Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

"Vlahopoulos, the shepherd

took your daughter."

"The king visited some army units"

"and greeted the men"

"who were very enthusiastic."

"Jesus has resurrected,

Greece has resurrected."

Yangos Karavidas.

Can you hear me?

Yangos Karavidas. Don't make the

police's work more difficult.

Come down here.

I order you.

Yangos Karavidas.

Your father is speaking to you.

Listen to him.

Yangos.

Yangos, my son.

You are mistaken.

Despina Vlahopoulou

is not your fiancee.

Yangos, come down.

Yangos.

Come here, Yangos.

Let me untie your hands.

Go back to your father.

Thanos doesn't exist anymore.

Look out, Kyriakos.

Surround him! He's dangerous.

He has learned tricks in Europe.

This Thanos, the European.

Thanos of your dreams,

never existed.

The Germans didn't sent me away.

Shame drove me away,

because I'm illiterate.

I didn't want to sign with a cross

in front of the other workers

one day at the factory.

They thought I was suspicious,

a revolutionary.

A dangerous person.

Yes, yes. Good, good.

Come, Yangos. Take your
