You didn't even say hi to him.

You are just looking for an

excuse to steal more money.

F***ing cop!

Mayor, where are you?

Tell us what happened!

News travel fast!

Such news travel

faster than the wind!

I will bring some ouzo and

you'll tell us all about it.

Guys, have you heard?

Old Dikaios, is dead.

What are talking about?

Probably a stroke.

Agis' lips are sealed

until the inquiry is over.

Do we have to discuss it?

Olympia did it!

She killed him

with the kitchen knife...

because he wanted her

to do sexual things.

It shows in her eyes.

She killed him!

You say it,

because you don't like her.

I bet on it.

I'm sure she poisoned him.

She is capable of everything!

- It's clear. Poisoning.

- The b*tch! I knew it!

Are you sure?

Sleeping pills overdose.

They were in his tea.

The bloody woman!

- Chief!

- Give me a break, doc!

- We are dealing with a crime.

- Are you suspecting someone?

Entirely.

Who are they?

I don't know. I have seen

the guy two-three times.

He had dealings

with old Dikaios.

- I'm innocent!

- We want to help you.

If you confess,

you are in a better position.

You are trying

to pin the murder on me!

Very nice of you!

You know,

you don't have an alibi?

Nobody saw you.

I told you.

I was preparing lunch...

and as I put the food

in the oven...

OK, OK! We know.

You should tell us further.

What?

Why did you throw

slipping pills in his tea?

I didn't do it,

you douchebag!

How many times will I say it?

I don't know what happened!

If you didn't do it,

then who, for God's sake?

Nobody.

Themistoklis Dikaios

committed suicide.

I can prove it.

Easy, mister.

How did you enter...

Iordanis,

are you sleeping again?

I tried to stop them...

but they said

you were expecting them.

And you believe everything

they tell you? Disappear!

- It's not his fault.

- Don't you see how he is?

You might not know it,

but you were expecting us.

The lawyer! Very handsome!

Exactly.

Georgios Paramithopoulos.

I represent

Themistoklis Dikaios.

This is Mrs Eirini Theodorakis.

Notary.

In here lies the solution

to the mystery.

He had one-two months to live.

Unfortunately,

he led a bad life.

Little by little, he was

loosing control of his body.

He didn't want

to go through this.

He wanted to die with dignity.

That's why he decided

to put an end to his life.

He invited me here,

to explain his will.

This envelop contains

a letter signed by him.

It explains everything.

There is a copy in his office.

And how did you know that

he committed suicide today?

I was about to ask it.

He called me

just before he died.

And the lady?

I have in my hands

his last will.

He wished to be opened

right after his death...

in front of the people

of the island.

- All the people of the island?

- Yes.

Maybe he left some money

to the community.

All's well that ends well!

And you didn't believe me.

Apologize to me now.

Olympia, you may go.

I'm sorry.

And you think it's enough?

We have work to do!

Take a hike!

Please, sit.

Come in.

The view is its big asset!

- Enjoy your stay.

- Thanks.

"At this difficult time

for our island...

your visit, Minister... "

Who's coming?

I don't know.

But someone will come.

Dikaios knew many people

in the government.

Everyone appraised him.

When he was younger...

because, nowadays,

they pretend not to know him.

And I thought that

a minister was coming!

Aggela, don't make me mad.

The funeral will be formal!

He deserwed it.

Agis, are you taking the piss?

You hated him.

This is different.

Don't talk to anyone.

We'll look foolish.

In any case, he was

a notable person.

He had authority,

he was a benefactor...

and he will be mentioned

in the history books.

You should dress

the square with flags.

It's not a bad idea.

He's a wanker.

I hate him! I despise him!

I want him dead!

Look at these eye bags!

I have to put

some moisturizer...

and to trim my beard.

He's a pig!

He's a peasant!

He only cares about himself!

He never cared

about our emotions.

He doesn't care

about me or my mother.

The tough guy!

The macho man!

He wants to make me like him.

Labros, I'm talking to you.

Are you ignoring me?

Of course not.

Which one?

I'm talking to you about

my life, my future...

and you worry about

what to wear in the funeral?

OK, but I can't go to the

funeral like a crazy woman.

I'll wear this one.

I like red colour.

What am I going to do

without you?

You left me on my own!

Isn't he gorgeous?

Look at him.

He's staring

at the notary.

He's drooling.

Let me go with him!

Is anyone keeping you?

You're cleaning, huh?

Do you keep any ammo

in the coast guard, or not?

Nothing.

What a brothel!

Eternal memory,

our beloved brother...

Today is a day of bereavement.

The whole village,

grieves for his loss.

An admirable child

of this island, is gone.

A nobleman, a visionary...

Enough!

Cut it out.

The fish soup is getting cold.

OK, Apostolis,

I won't take long.

However, I feel that

everyone is waiting...

to hear the last wishes of our

adorable, Themistoklis Dikaios.

- Yeah, but you're stalling.

- I'm almost done.

That's why, the notary,

mrs Eirini Theodoraki...

has come to our island

and she will read his will.

"Wankers!

If you are listening to

my notary reading you this...

it means that I'm dead and

you are gathered in the cafi.

I hope Nikitas serwed you

a good brandy...

and not the other stuff that

is not good even for cleaning.

I told you. It's awful.

I, Themistoklis Dikaios,

being of sound mind...

I hereby declare

my last will and testament.

You already know that I had

the fortune and misfortune...

to be aware of the exact

date of my death...

I liquidized my fortune,

except for my house.

The total amount

is 100 million euros.

An amount which is to be

divided among my beneficiaries.

I leave my fortune

to the community...

to the school, to the church...

and to the police station

of the island.

to each body...

on condition that it will be

managed by each party. "

What?

Get some brandy!

Quiet!

Slap her twice!

- Is she ok? May I?

- Yes, please.

"The money will be theirs

on one condition.

each and everyone...

of the local notabilities

must be read.

They will be read in public...

in the presence of the

citizens of this island...

within a week's time.

If there is an objection...

the money that they

were meant for them...

will be given elsewhere. "

Of course they will agree.

The bastards!

These are the letters

with your names.

He didn't leave me anything!

The old fool!

I spent my best years

next to him!

Imagine what the worse were.

Burn in hell!

This can't go on.

Put her in the basement.

- Iordanis!

- Here!

Let me speak!

I will tell everything!

You won't take my fortune!

I know things

about all of you!

You won't know

where to hide!

- Come, Mrs Olympia.

- Miss!

Give me the brandy!

Try to stop her now!

Leave me alone!

Old fart!

Leave me alone!
