It's not my fault.

The others stall.

Ah, you already know.

There are

some "well wishers"...

who are gossiping about me.

It' won't happen!

Always, in a good manor.

Your blessing, sir!

Problems with the high ranks?

It's a sin to overhear

other people's conversations.

You were shouting.

Don't they trust you?

A holly person?

The whole parish respects you.

Especially, some people,

more than the others.

Father?

You?

I thought I heard someone.

I'm here with Alexandros.

We were talking.

Hi, aunty.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I was showing Alexandros...

The view!

You tell your mom,

that I will come by tonight...

about the design.

- What design?

- For the lace.

She's preparing your dowry.

Lucky girl,

whoever marries you.

I'm curious to know what

the letter says about you.

He was always interested

when I was talking about you.

Bless me, father.

As always,

they sued each other.

We should do something...

or they are capable of

doing this the whole summer.

We'll deal with this later.

You spent your night here?

Yes.

You were thinking

of old Dikaios?

What is this

with the letters?

When are you thinking

of opening yours?

Whenever I want.

I won't inform you.

Get yourself together!

Go get me coffee and

send someone to clean.

I'm trying to protect you.

People talk.

This crazy woman, Olympia,

gossips about you all the time.

It doesn't take long...

Go away! Go!

Eva!

Thomas! You're early.

Leave it there.

I wanted to talk to you.

Sit down.

Don't worry.

There is no one here.

Sit.

What happened?

I'm scared. What might be

written in Agis' letter.

- I don't expect...

- Why not?

I believe that old Dikaios

knew everything.

And why to reveal to Agis

that Nena is not his child?

To take revenge.

To embarrass him

in the whole island.

They were enemies.

If that's why Agis doesn't

want to open the letter...

it means he knows everything.

He knows Nena is my daughter.

What's wrong?

I can't stand it anymore.

I've been living a lie

all these years.

Why did we allow them to do

what they wanted with us?

What could we have done?

They would never give the

mayor's daughter to a fisherman.

We were kids!

- You haven't regretted it?

- What's wrong with you now?

It's closing time, chief.

You wanted something?

- What's up, gorgeous?

- Really, if you don't want...

I want something and I will

get it right here right now!

Go to hell, wanker.

My little Heidi, is mad?

What?

You can't imagine what

you can find on the internet.

Even porn movies of the '80s.

You are photogenic.

What are you planning

on doing with this?

If you are nice to me,

nothing.

What do you want?

A clay pot. What do you think?

Thomas, I don't believe it!

After all these years,

it was exactly the same.

I never got over you.

Are we mad? In your house?

- If Agis returns home?

- He can go to hell.

Thomas, we should do

something about our kids.

What do you mean?

Do you know

that Stratos likes Nena?

What?

She says she doesn't want him,

but you can never be sure.

What are we going to do?

Who is it?

It's me. Open up!

Are you playing games?

Alexandros, go away.

Open up!

Open the door!

I will wake up

the whole village!

- Will you stop?

- Why didn't you open the door?

Alexandros, listen.

We can't go on like this.

The whole village

talks about me.

My crazy cousin

is not "the whole village".

Go away,

before they see us.

If you don't want them

to see me, let me in.

It's not easy for me,

but it's over.

From now on,

I have to be spotless.

I don't believe it.

You are also for the money?

You are throwing me out,

cause you want the money?

It's not like that.

There are some issues

with the eparchy.

There is no room for scandals.

I thought you were different.

You are all the same sh*t!

Good night.

Go to hell! Coward!

- What are you watching?

- A movie.

- Where is mom?

- She hasn't returned yet?

I thought she was

coming with you.

You are also late.

I wanted to see you

before I left.

You want money?

No, but, I wouldn't mind.

Don't wait me up.

- A woman?

- Maybe.

Someone told me...

that there's something going

on between you and Nena.

Even in the army, we had

a worse information network.

Is it true?

I like her,

but she doesn't want me.

- And it bothers you?

- No way! She can go to hell.

There are plenty of women.

Exactly! We won't stick

to one chick!

You're back?

I'm leaving. See you.

Take care!

You had a busy day today?

I'm gonna take a shower.

You tried to mess

with Olympia? I'll show you!

Hello?

What do you want so early?

What dead body?

I'm the biggest dead body!

Who?

I'm coming.

Bad luck! Loula!

Speak! Who did it?

And speak now, cause

we'll all be held responsible!

Are you completely insane?

That's why

you brought us here?

You wanted to come

to the police station?

They all talk about us.

Imagine what would happen

if they saw us in the station...

as soon as

Olympias' body was found!

You don't mean

I'm one of the suspects?

Why, father? Do you have

a clean bill from God?

She called you a f*ggot!

So you had a motive.

Apostolis, these vulgar words

don't help!

OK, sister!

Tell me, who did it!

We don't have time!

Why? The crazy woman

will resurrect...

and name her killer?

A unit from Athens

is coming to the island...

to take over

the investigation.

Why did you inform them?

You think I'm a fool?

The notary did it.

I'm sure, she spoke

about all of us.

So, you are also a suspect.

Don't act

like an innocent girl!

When this is over,

I will show you, Mudjahedin!

Don't say it so abruptly,

cause I'm shaking!

Cut the bullshit!

That's what I'm saying.

Who did it? Who?

The chief constable!

The gentlemen?

Chief Inspector Konstantinos

Athanasiou, Athens Homicide.

My aid, Inspector Baronas.

You have been informed

about our arrival.

By fax!

But, there was no need

for you to come all this way.

Chief, I should be going.

You don't need me here.

Yes... Come here!

Go! Go!

Go with him

to prepare my office.

I will be using the station

to perform the inquiry.

My office?

OK. No problem.

Iordanis, my good boy,

escort the gentleman...

and help him with

whatever he needs.

As I was saying,

you didn't have to come.

Things here are quiet.

It's only a case.

We could solve it ourselves.

Here, nothing really happens.

Chief, what was that again?

I'm fed up with performing

post mortems.

Have you finished

your phone call?

- Will you inform us, now?

- Yes, of course. I apologize.

The woman, Olympia,

didn't drown.

Easy, easy.

Her body was swollen.

She was found by the sea!

When she fell into the sea,

she was already dead.

There was no trace

of water in her lungs.

There are traces of fight?

Yes, a blow into

the back of her head.

It was a lethal one.

She was already dead

when she fell into the sea.

She fell,

or someone pushed her?

In my opinion,

all 4 of them are suspects.

That's why I called you here.
