He's preparing his son

to be your son in law.

What did you say?

Why, woman?

Stratos is a fine young boy.

We are not giving our girl

to the son of a fisherman!

- Tell him, mom!

- I like him.

Then, you marry him.

I will slap you so hard,

you will see stars!

Why are we talking about this?

Has Stratos

ever told you anything?

He wouldn't dare.

Wherever I go,

he's always there.

- He follows me all the time.

- Cut him out.

Don't worry.

He took his lesson.

But he doesn't seem to

understand and leave me alone.

The last thing we want is to

have a fisherman as an in-law.

My daughter

has better things to do.

She hears such things

and she thinks she is special.

I wonder why!

Hello, Eva.

Hi, chief.

Why such formality?

For you, just Babis.

- How are things going?

- So and so.

When the summer season

takes off, it will be better.

You wanted something?

I was on my way to the cafeterias

and I just wanted to say hi.

And to see

if you need anything.

No, thanks a lot.

A beautiful woman like you...

always needs the protection

of a powerful man.

I don't agree.

Women do just fine

on their own, nowadays.

And if I need any protection,

I always have my husband.

Thomas is a capable person.

He built some rooms to let...

the tavern...

Someone else, would think

that fishing is sufficient.

People might see us!

Anyway, whenever you need

something, don't hesitate.

Thanks. I don't need anything.

You never know.

Thomas is on the fishing boat?

Yes, he must have finished

by now.

Why doesn't he get a license...

so he can fish

in the fishing boat station?

Too much bureaucracy.

Yes, but the fisheries

are complaining about it.

For your sake

he's out of jail.

I will tell him to settle it

as soon as possible.

Whatever you need...

Do not hesitate.

Go to hell, you wanker.

- Where is he?

- What's going on?

I will break his legs!

Where is he?

Calm down!

It was just a thought!

What is your mother

talking about, a**hole?

Babis, don't talk like that!

What did she say?

That you've changed

your mind about the school.

I was thinking...

I mean, there is a very good

college of design.

You will prepare your papers

for the police academy.

I have decided it

and I have said it!

So cut the bullshit!

Understand?

Babis, please, don't shout!

People will hear us.

He didn't commit a crime.

It was just an idea.

Besides, he's talented.

Why waste it?

Don't talk or you will pay

for this! It's your fault!

He wants to be a painter!

Everyone will laugh at me!

Fashion designer, not painter!

Say it, so that I calm down.

Are you out of your mind?

Are you a sissy,

by any chance?

Because if you are,

we take care of it now!

Are you?

Don't!

You, don't talk!

Say it! Are you?

Babis, please!

What are you doing?

This is all I want.

Derwenagas' son

to be a seamstress!

Don't insult him.

He didn't say anything wrong.

I just said

that I like designing.

First be a cop...

and then paint all the

walls of the house!

Doors, windows... Get it?

Don't!

Get it?

Fashion design and bullshit!

I like this time of the day.

Eva, if with God's help,

business is good this year...

next year we'll buy the one

next door and expand the tavern.

You don't need to struggle.

We are fine the way we are.

Now that Stratos is back,

I have big plans.

What are your plans

for Stratos?

Are you gonna take me with you

to the fishing boat?

You will take over

the rooms to let...

or the tavern.

Whatever you like.

Wherever there are

more female tourists.

Mom, you know me so well!

- I'm going for a walk.

- Be careful. Have a nice time.

Yeah, right!

This island is "dead".

Bye!

So...

Connect 50 watt

negative voltage to section K.

Apostolis!

Granddad, why don't you knock?

Where you born in a boat?

Haven't I told you?

When my late mom

went into labour...

she was on my dad's

fishing boat.

They were on their way

to the Saint Apostoles fair.

That's why I was

named after him.

By the passage

of Dionysis the Lop-sided.

What time is it?

What is it, granddad?

I have work to do!

- Food is ready!

- I'm coming!

Granddad!

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

Mister Themistoklis,

sorry to bother you...

but I'm going to the market.

Do you want anything?

Are you sleeping?

Mister Themistoklis?

Mister Themistoklis?

- What are talking about?

- What can I tell you, chief?

This crazy woman

was mumbling over the phone!

I only understood,

that he's dead.

- In his bed?

- I didn't ask.

Do you think

he was killed?

Yes, they killed him to

make ice cream of him.

How should I know, you fool!

We'll find out.

She said she also called

the doctor.

Hurry up! She is capable

of calling the coast guard.

Don't laugh.

Go fetch the police car.

I'm going.

That's all we need.

What a misfortune!

What do you think, doc?

When I arrived,

he was already dead.

My first impression is

he died of natural causes.

You shouldn't have

moved him in my absence.

Has it been long,

since he died?

Mister Themistoklis!

Do you rule out

a crime?

I doubt it was a crime.

I can't say more before I have

the results of the autopsy.

Do as you wish,

but do it fast.

The boys?

Tell me, why

you called the coast guard?

I was all alone, so I thought...

To call the whole party.

Since they were here...

they helped me to put him

in the stretcher.

And they will help to

take him to the infirmary.

The ambulance's

cog rail is broken.

What is a "cog rail"?

Leave it, Olympia.

You go with them and

stay there, until I say so.

Yes, sir.

How did this happen?

When did this happen?

Mr Dikaios is gone, mayor!

He left me all alone!

Why?

If you don't stop shouting,

I will shoot you!

Chief, leave her.

Respect her feelings.

What can we do, Olympia?

That's the way things are.

Girl, calm down.

I'm here for you.

- Did you find him?

- Yes.

He was sitting on the porch,

sipping his tea.

I went to ask

if he wanted anything...

but he was...

- How long ago?

- About 2 hours ago.

- This was down...

- You touched it?

No, I picked it up

with my eye.

Black humor!

- Did he see anyone today?

- No.

Are you sure?

You are insulting me.

I would have known it.

Olympia, knows everything.

- What was in the tea?

- Tea.

I boiled it for him.

There is some left,

if you want to see.

If you don't need me,

I will be going.

Don't disappear.

I'm gonna need you

for the investigation.

Why? Don't tell me

I'm also a suspect?

Of course! You were the last

person to see him alive!

I was the one who informed you

and I'm in trouble now?

Babis, you think

someone killed him?

We'll find out.

Nice view.

He was watching us

from this porch.

We have to record

all his things...

before the maid

steals everything.

When will the inquiry and

the post mortem be over?

I want to arrange the funeral.

His funeral will be

exceptional, like he was.

He was the lord of the island.

It will be done

on public expenditure.

I don't bite it, mayor.
