we would like to know

389
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,839
where holy
metropolitan nektarios is.

390
00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:13,595
Wasn't he condemned

by the patriarch sophronius?

Where is he?

398
00:25:32,948 --> 00:25:34,116
I believe that he took

399
00:25:34,324 --> 00:25:36,869
the position
of a preacher in evia.

that metropolitan nektarios
is holy and just,

409
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:04,772
and that he was slandered.

410
00:26:07,024 --> 00:26:08,150

a chance to see you,

please permit me
to ask in writing

where are
the students performing

Unfortunately, one cannot
perform services here

of the chapel.

to be done about this.

are simply not available.

look more appealing,

- He insulted me...
- No, he insulted me.

555
00:36:01,534 --> 00:36:02,577
He called me a turk.

556
00:36:03,036 --> 00:36:04,476
- Did you say that?
- [Student 1] No.

557

Yes, you did. You call
us names all the time.

558

- You stole the book.
- What book?

The one that is in your bag.

560
00:36:11,461 --> 00:36:13,221
He gave me that book
and asked me to read it.

- I haven't stolen anything.

But to punish myself.

566
00:36:31,815 --> 00:36:33,108
[Nektarios] Yes, myself.

567
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:36,486
I will punish myself
with a hunger strike.

to instruct the cook

for three days.

And please,
make amends with one another.

I will continue my punishment

[President rizarios] I heard
you were looking for me.

Why are the students being

[Door thudding shut]

595
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:07,911
Because we feel that you don't
exercise enough authority.

I do implement punishments

Punishing yourself

instead of the students
when they misbehave

601
00:38:20,423 --> 00:38:22,717
is out of balance,
in my opinion.

602
00:38:24,010 --> 00:38:25,345

of both clergy and laypeople.

- Of course.

610
00:38:45,532 --> 00:38:48,117
You are cultivating
asceticism in our students,

611
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:49,744
and we all know that asceticism

612
00:38:49,953 --> 00:38:50,953
is a thing of the past.

of what asceticism is,
Mr. President...

616

No, I have a perfect view
of what asceticism is.

617
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:01,631
It is a radical
approach to religion.

the outwardly appearance at all.

623

His main focus
is to correct himself inwardly

624
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:20,483
so he can get closer to god.

625
00:39:21,150 --> 00:39:23,278
He's, in effect,
a true Christian.

from my position

unethical and immoral"?

of my unjust
departure from Egypt,

653
00:40:49,072 --> 00:40:52,659
was this official
accusation of me made,

654
00:40:52,867 --> 00:40:56,496

condemns me to immoral death.

The purpose
of my outdated protest

is to bring you to
the knowledge of your holiness

against me is unjust.

He has had fever
for over two weeks.

His condition looks critical.

685
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,302
And even
after doctors' treatments,

686
00:42:34,510 --> 00:42:35,887
it is not getting any better.

687
00:42:36,095 --> 00:42:37,764
Nordo the doctors have any idea

688
00:42:37,972 --> 00:42:39,223
what is wrong with him.

00:42:40,308 --> 00:42:41,476
His illness

690
00:42:42,685 --> 00:42:45,897
seems to be of a mental nature.

691
00:42:47,148 --> 00:42:48,316
Therefore, I suggest

692
00:42:48,524 --> 00:42:50,234
we transfer him
to the sanatorium.

693
00:42:51,319 --> 00:42:53,237
We need to inform
his guardian right away.

694
00:42:53,446 --> 00:42:55,198
We cannot do such a thing.

695
00:42:56,074 --> 00:42:57,492
He needs to go to the hospital

696
00:42:57,700 --> 00:42:59,786
to be properly treated
and diagnosed,

697
00:42:59,994 --> 00:43:01,746
which is
right across the street.

698
00:43:01,954 --> 00:43:04,373
Not some sanatorium
far away from here.

699
00:43:05,041 --> 00:43:07,001
After all, he does have a fever.

700
00:43:08,127 --> 00:43:10,046
He is here on a minimum tuition.

701
00:43:10,838 --> 00:43:12,316
I doubt he can afford
additional treatment

702

of any kind.

703
00:43:13,591 --> 00:43:15,051
We should pay for it.

studying here so diligently.

did more than doing the least.

We should inform his guardian
immediately of our decision.

know that god loves you

00:57:03,587 --> 00:57:05,464
[Woman 4]
It was [indistinct], reverend.

909
00:57:07,841 --> 00:57:11,178
[Cutlery clanking]

910
00:57:14,097 --> 00:57:15,515
I have a few girls

911
00:57:15,724 --> 00:57:18,018
who are my spiritual daughters

912
00:57:18,226 --> 00:57:19,978
who wish to become nuns.

913
00:57:20,187 --> 00:57:23,565
They found an old monastery
that is in ruins in aegina.

914
00:57:24,358 --> 00:57:26,777
Since aegina
is under yourjurisdiction,

915
00:57:27,235 --> 00:57:29,905
I would like to get
your blessing for them

916
00:57:30,113 --> 00:57:31,949
to establish
the monastery there.

917
00:57:32,699 --> 00:57:35,410
That is wonderful.
You have all of my blessings!

918
00:57:36,828 --> 00:57:38,038
Thank you, your eminence.

919
00:57:38,246 --> 00:57:39,526
[Theoklitos] Thank god for that.

920
00:57:39,831 --> 00:57:42,793
We need to reawaken monasticism.

921
00:57:43,001 --> 00:57:44,252
We need young nuns.

922
00:57:45,128 --> 00:57:49,091
Most of the monasteries
are practically graveyards.

923
00:57:49,341 --> 00:57:50,801
As a matter of fact, I even have

924
00:57:51,009 --> 00:57:52,928
a few young nuns from sparta

925
00:57:53,136 --> 00:57:54,721
that would
like to join the convent.

926
00:57:55,555 --> 00:57:56,890
If you go ahead and do that,

927
00:57:57,099 --> 00:57:58,642
I promise that the monastery

928
00:57:58,850 --> 00:58:01,311
will get recognized
by the Holy See.

929
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:02,646
Thank you, your eminence.

930
00:58:03,605 --> 00:58:07,192
You know, I really
need your help with things.

931
00:58:10,529 --> 00:58:11,613
Any news from Egypt?

932
00:58:12,614 --> 00:58:14,449
I reached out twice
to his holiness,

933
00:58:14,658 --> 00:58:16,785
patriarch photios of Alexandria.

934
00:58:16,994 --> 00:58:19,746
I know for a fact
that he received my letters

935
00:58:19,955 --> 00:58:22,874
but as usual,
there was no response.

936
00:58:24,042 --> 00:58:25,877
Also,
I reached out to his grace,

937
00:58:26,086 --> 00:58:28,380
the ecumenical patriarch
of constantinople,

938
00:58:28,588 --> 00:58:29,923
Joachim III.

939
00:58:30,132 --> 00:58:32,551
That is fantastic.
He can definitely help.

940
00:58:32,759 --> 00:58:35,262
[Nektarios] Honestly,
I don't see why the synod

941
00:58:35,470 --> 00:58:38,348
here in Athens
cannot appoint a dioceses

942
00:58:38,932 --> 00:58:41,435
to traveling hierarchs
who taught

943
00:58:41,643 --> 00:58:44,312
their future
priests so many years.

944
00:58:45,731 --> 00:58:48,942
As I said to you previously,
it is complicated.

945
00:58:50,027 --> 00:58:51,153
[Cutlery clanking]

946
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:57,284
[Nektarios] We have sugar,
cumin and bread.

947
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,872
Silk as well,
and manuscripts, of course.

948
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,123
[Nektarios] Excellent.

949
00:59:04,624 --> 00:59:06,501
We should send money
to [indistinct].

950
00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:08,295
She will
make sure it gets to them.

951
00:59:13,133 --> 00:59:14,551
Is that all right, kostas?

952
00:59:19,806 --> 00:59:22,893
Father, I'm happy to do
whatever you want me to do.

953
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:25,145
I just don't see
how it's possible

954
00:59:25,353 --> 00:59:28,106
to rebuild
the monastery on your salary

955
00:59:28,315 --> 00:59:29,566
and a few donations.

956
00:59:30,484 --> 00:59:32,194
With god,
everything is possible.

957
01:00:11,900 --> 01:00:14,361
I got more mulberry
and fruit trees.

958
01:00:15,153 --> 01:00:17,739
They will have them
planted all over aegina.

959
01:00:19,449 --> 01:00:22,160
How many trees
have we shipped so far?

960
01:00:22,369 --> 01:00:24,996
6,000 or 7,000, I believe.

961
01:00:26,414 --> 01:00:27,457
7,000?

962
01:00:28,083 --> 01:00:29,376
[Nektarios] Don't worry, kostas,

963
01:00:29,584 --> 01:00:31,461
they gave them to me
for almost nothing.

964
01:00:40,804 --> 01:00:44,766
I would love to send
a few copies of my new book.

965
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,603
Have we been able to print any?

966
01:00:50,647 --> 01:00:52,315
Unfortunately, we have not.

967
01:00:52,524 --> 01:00:55,944
We owe money
to the printer, again.

968
01:00:57,404 --> 01:00:58,405
It's all right.

969
01:00:59,072 --> 01:01:02,284
It will just have to wait
until I get paid.

970
01:01:04,828 --> 01:01:05,871
Of course.

971
01:01:07,831 --> 01:01:10,834
[Footsteps approaching]

972
01:01:14,087 --> 01:01:16,173
Why are the toilets so filthy?

973
01:01:16,381 --> 01:01:17,941
[Kostas] Our janitor
is in the hospital.

974
01:01:18,049 --> 01:01:19,968
And why haven't we
found a newjanitor?

975
01:01:20,177 --> 01:01:21,386
How hard can that be?

976
01:01:22,053 --> 01:01:24,055
I found a replacement already.

977
01:01:25,724 --> 01:01:27,004
[President rizarios]
Oh, you did?

978
01:01:27,392 --> 01:01:28,672
Do you mind
telling me who it is?

979
01:01:29,394 --> 01:01:30,854
[Nektarios]
Someone that I trust.

980
01:01:31,563 --> 01:01:34,024
Who are those women
who have permit passes...

981
01:01:35,108 --> 01:01:36,484
And why do they come here?

982
01:01:37,611 --> 01:01:39,321
They are my spiritual children.

983
01:01:39,863 --> 01:01:41,281
Your spiritual children?

984
01:01:42,157 --> 01:01:45,702
They want to become nuns,
and they seek my advice.

985
01:01:46,411 --> 01:01:48,306
So, it is not enough
that you are trying to persuade

986
01:01:48,330 --> 01:01:50,040
everyone in here
to become a priest.

987
01:01:50,248 --> 01:01:52,125
Now you're grooming
nuns from here, too?

988
01:01:52,334 --> 01:01:54,169
I want them
to return their passes

989
01:01:54,377 --> 01:01:55,545
and refrain from coming here!

01:01:58,423 --> 01:02:01,301
I'm sorry, your eminence.
I didn't mean to do this.

No, I am sorry.

I want to tell you something.

1008

You know that I wish
to retire to the monastery.

1012
01:03:39,774 --> 01:03:42,652
I feel that it is my duty...

1013
01:03:43,611 --> 01:03:46,323
To go to aegina and take
full responsibility

1014
01:03:46,531 --> 01:03:48,575
for the monastery and the nuns.

1015
01:03:52,579 --> 01:03:54,873
I cannot believe
what I'm hearing, father.

1016

You're a respected
hierarchical writer.

1017
01:04:03,131 --> 01:04:04,424
You cannot leave it all...

1018
01:04:05,508 --> 01:04:07,886
And go to some deserted island.

[Nektarios]
My inner voice, my heart...

1020

Has informed me
that I have to go to aegina.

If they
invite you back to Egypt?

1022

Please,
stop thinking about that.

1023
01:04:28,073 --> 01:04:30,825
I will never stop
thinking about that, father.

1024
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,955
You deserve
to become a patriarch.

1025
01:04:37,999 --> 01:04:39,501
There lies a danger

1026

in what you desire
for me to become, kostas.

When you become a patriarch...

1028
01:04:47,634 --> 01:04:49,511
You become a man of power.

1029
01:04:50,804 --> 01:04:54,182
The position of power
is like a cancer;

1030
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:59,854
it eats at you slowly,
and you don't even know it.

Before you realize,

1032
01:05:03,358 --> 01:05:07,737
you can turn into something
that you once despised.

they were given.

that you're not human.

that comes with it...

But I see that you have
found peace in it.

No, I do not.

But I don't care about that.

1071
01:08:11,879 --> 01:08:13,464
I only care
about knowing the truth.

Without having
peace in your heart...

1073
01:08:19,470 --> 01:08:21,598
You will never
be able to know the truth.

your god to find peace?

01:09:06,684 --> 01:09:08,519
I'm sure you will find the way.

- How much do I owe you?
- Nothing.

1089
01:10:58,004 --> 01:10:59,839
Just give keep
blessing our nets, father.

1090
01:11:19,275 --> 01:11:20,443
Again?

1091
01:11:20,651 --> 01:11:22,236
You left class
early, [indistinct].

1092
01:11:23,529 --> 01:11:25,782
They were not
teaching us today, and...

1093
01:11:25,990 --> 01:11:28,576
I already know
how to read and write.

1094
01:11:29,202 --> 01:11:32,497
You can always get better at it
or learn something new.

1095
01:11:34,749 --> 01:11:36,584
I'll read here, next to you.

1096
01:11:38,294 --> 01:11:40,838
John the foreigner

1097
01:11:42,256 --> 01:11:44,133
do you know
what foreigner stands for?

1098
01:11:46,344 --> 01:11:48,179
That's his last name.

1099
01:11:49,472 --> 01:11:50,890
That is not it, my dear.

1100
01:11:52,099 --> 01:11:53,810
Do you know why we also call him

1101
01:11:54,018 --> 01:11:55,186
John the baptist?

1102
01:11:55,394 --> 01:11:56,854
That's his middle name.

1103
01:11:57,063 --> 01:11:59,315
You see,
you still have a lot to learn.

1104
01:12:00,775 --> 01:12:02,735
I'm sorry.
It's almost time for vespers.

[Nektarios]
So, how is life in the city?

1109
01:12:43,484 --> 01:12:44,527
Busy.

1110
01:12:45,778 --> 01:12:50,408
I got many new accounts,
uh, for your articles in books.

1111
01:12:51,492 --> 01:12:53,703
No more owing money to anyone.

1112
01:12:55,162 --> 01:12:57,665
My new job is great,
and now that I have

1113
01:12:57,874 --> 01:13:01,794
a room here to stay,
I... I can't...

1114
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,672
Really complain about anything.

1115
01:13:05,673 --> 01:13:08,050
You see? Things always work out.

1116
01:13:09,051 --> 01:13:10,595
Yes,
you're right, your eminence.

1117
01:13:12,305 --> 01:13:13,598
It is time for the synod...

1118
01:13:14,807 --> 01:13:16,726
To officially
accept the monastery.

1119
01:13:17,602 --> 01:13:19,478
I wrote
to metropolitan theoklitos.

1120
01:13:19,687 --> 01:13:21,355
I didn't get a response.

1121
01:13:21,647 --> 01:13:24,442
Perhaps you can
visit him on my behalf.

1122
01:13:25,276 --> 01:13:29,155
Father, um, there has been rumor

1123
01:13:29,363 --> 01:13:34,452
that metropolitan theoklitos
is planning to shut down

1124
01:13:34,660 --> 01:13:36,621
- your monastery.
- That cannot be.

1125
01:13:36,829 --> 01:13:39,415
He is the one who gave me
his blessing to establish it.

1126
01:13:39,624 --> 01:13:40,666
I know.

1127
01:13:41,626 --> 01:13:43,306
You shouldn't believe
these rumors, kostas.

1128
01:13:43,377 --> 01:13:44,503
You know better than that.

1129
01:13:45,755 --> 01:13:48,507
I am afraid
that this is not just a rumor.

1130
01:13:49,216 --> 01:13:50,968
It looks like he was unhappy

1131
01:13:51,177 --> 01:13:53,512
that you left Athens
and came here.

1132
01:13:53,721 --> 01:13:56,349
He wanted you there to help him.

1133
01:13:57,224 --> 01:14:01,062
And you know that you could
still become the patriarch.

1134
01:14:02,146 --> 01:14:03,814
[Nektarios] They never
gave me a diocese

1135
01:14:04,023 --> 01:14:06,317
and you believe that they
will elect me a patriarch?

1136
01:14:07,276 --> 01:14:08,611
[Kostas] The people of Egypt

1137
01:14:08,819 --> 01:14:10,738
want you
to become their patriarch.

1138
01:14:11,864 --> 01:14:13,407
[Nektarios]
You must realize by now...

1139
01:14:14,617 --> 01:14:16,744
That it doesn't matter
what the people want.

[Somber string instrumental]

[Theoklitos]
My soul is deeply sorry

1142
01:14:55,032 --> 01:14:57,827
by having been
informed by your eminence

1143
01:14:58,452 --> 01:15:01,038
that without
my knowledge and will,

1144
01:15:01,247 --> 01:15:05,042
a community of women
has been created in aegina.

1145
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:13,384
Why, without the knowledge

1146
01:15:13,592 --> 01:15:16,554
and consent of myself,
the canonical hierarch,

1147
01:15:16,762 --> 01:15:20,099
did you create the monastery?
And for what purpose?

1148
01:15:30,192 --> 01:15:32,903
So, now you know
nothing about this, my brother?

1149
01:15:33,112 --> 01:15:34,363
Absolutely nothing?

1150
01:15:45,541 --> 01:15:47,960
[Xenia] Has the decision
from the metropolitan arrived?

1151
01:15:49,378 --> 01:15:50,421
Yes, it has.

1152
01:15:51,964 --> 01:15:54,425
[Xenia] Is he seeking
to absolve the monastery?

1153
01:15:57,887 --> 01:16:01,098
He wants a written account
and a detailed report.

1154
01:16:02,641 --> 01:16:06,270
I will prepare mine
but I need your help...

1155
01:16:07,605 --> 01:16:11,150
To prepare the report
that will name each sister...

1156
01:16:12,526 --> 01:16:15,654
The details of their enlistment

1157
01:16:15,863 --> 01:16:18,491
and their
financial contributions.

1158
01:16:20,159 --> 01:16:21,869
There is nothing else
that we can do.

1159
01:16:23,537 --> 01:16:24,580
[Xenia] Your eminence.

1160
01:16:26,499 --> 01:16:27,750
You suffer so much.

1161
01:16:29,210 --> 01:16:31,712
And all your suffering
is because of us.

1162
01:16:33,923 --> 01:16:34,965
I think you should leave.

1163
01:16:36,675 --> 01:16:38,177
You have done enough.

1164
01:16:40,387 --> 01:16:41,931
We will find the way.

1165
01:16:51,607 --> 01:16:53,234
I would never betray you.

1166
01:16:55,069 --> 01:16:57,613
[Xenia] You wouldn't be
betraying us if you left.

1167
01:16:58,823 --> 01:16:59,865
Yes, I would.

1168
01:17:01,492 --> 01:17:04,203
And that would cause
a pain so devastating...

1169
01:17:05,538 --> 01:17:07,164
That it can break your soul.

1170
01:17:08,916 --> 01:17:11,627
Believe me. I know that pain.

1171
01:17:19,051 --> 01:17:21,095
The property is private.

1172
01:17:22,096 --> 01:17:25,933
If the monastery is not
acknowledged by the synod,

1173
01:17:26,142 --> 01:17:29,311
the state
will not accept it either.

1174
01:17:30,020 --> 01:17:33,399
All the donations,
and I see there are many,

1175
01:17:33,607 --> 01:17:36,443
will not be considered
part of the monastery.

1176
01:17:36,652 --> 01:17:38,737
Neither will
the private property

1177
01:17:38,946 --> 01:17:41,282
that some of the nuns
donated themselves.

1178
01:17:42,491 --> 01:17:45,035
If you make it a church property

1179
01:17:45,244 --> 01:17:46,996
that belongs to the synod,

1180
01:17:47,204 --> 01:17:49,456
they will
most likely go with it.

1181
01:17:50,291 --> 01:17:52,918
It does, however, put the nuns

1182
01:17:53,127 --> 01:17:54,753
at the mercy of the synod.

1183
01:17:57,047 --> 01:18:00,259
Itneeds to remain independent,

1184
01:18:00,467 --> 01:18:02,386
privately owned by the nuns.

1185
01:18:02,595 --> 01:18:05,639
Then the synod will have to
acknowledge it that way.

1186
01:18:07,183 --> 01:18:09,852
Are you telling me
that we are completely

1187
01:18:10,060 --> 01:18:11,729
at the mercy of the synod?

1188
01:18:11,937 --> 01:18:14,481
There is another way,
your eminence.

1189
01:18:15,649 --> 01:18:17,401
I just don't know

1190
01:18:17,610 --> 01:18:20,029
if you will want
to take that route.

1191
01:18:21,363 --> 01:18:23,991
- What it is?
- If the synod

1192
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,994
doesn't acknowledge
the monastery,

1193
01:18:27,203 --> 01:18:30,539
you can make this place
into a non-profit entity...

1194
01:18:31,457 --> 01:18:34,877
In which case
the state will approve it.

1195
01:18:35,085 --> 01:18:37,796
And it will operate
as an independent convent,

1196
01:18:38,422 --> 01:18:40,507
just like those in the west.

1197
01:18:43,344 --> 01:18:45,679
We shall do that if we must.

1198
01:18:52,811 --> 01:18:53,854
Don't you see that...

1199
01:18:55,231 --> 01:18:58,317
All these obstacles are signs

1200
01:18:58,525 --> 01:19:00,819
that you should
leave this place...

1201
01:19:01,695 --> 01:19:05,324
Go do something
more suitable for yourself?

1202
01:19:06,992 --> 01:19:09,328
To what more suitable
thing do you refer?

1203
01:19:09,536 --> 01:19:11,163
Some high position
in the church?

1204
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,377
I don't understand you, father.

1205
01:19:18,545 --> 01:19:21,423
When they exiled you from Egypt,

1206
01:19:21,632 --> 01:19:23,634
when they persecuted you,

1207
01:19:23,842 --> 01:19:26,720
when everyone wanted you
to defend yourself,

1208
01:19:26,929 --> 01:19:30,182
you remained silent
and turned the other cheek.

1209
01:19:31,517 --> 01:19:33,811
But now, when the monastery

1210
01:19:34,019 --> 01:19:37,189
and those women
are being persecuted,

1211
01:19:37,398 --> 01:19:39,650
you are not only willing
to speak up and fight,

1212
01:19:39,858 --> 01:19:42,569
you are even willing
to go against the synod?

1213
01:19:43,737 --> 01:19:46,824
My dear, kostas,
when you're persecuted...

1214
01:19:48,033 --> 01:19:50,744
The right thing to do
is to turn another cheek.

1215
01:19:51,870 --> 01:19:53,956
But when
your children are persecuted

1216
01:19:54,164 --> 01:19:56,667
because someone
is trying to hurt you,

1217
01:19:56,875 --> 01:19:58,711
the right thing to do

1218
01:19:58,919 --> 01:20:01,964
is to fight
to protect your children.

1219
01:20:04,842 --> 01:20:05,884
I'm sorry, father.

1220
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:12,599
I just can't accept
and never accept that you,

1221
01:20:13,267 --> 01:20:15,728
the greatest hierarch
of our church...

1222
01:20:16,895 --> 01:20:21,108
Is at the moment stuck here...
In these hills...

1223
01:20:22,192 --> 01:20:23,569
Withering away.

1224
01:20:25,195 --> 01:20:26,905
My body may be withering away...

1225
01:20:28,115 --> 01:20:29,366
But my soul is not.

1226
01:20:49,928 --> 01:20:53,307
I wish she would just
leave me alone and disappear.

1227
01:20:56,352 --> 01:20:58,354
I understand. Don't worry.

1228
01:20:59,188 --> 01:21:00,731
You need
to pray for your mother.

1229
01:21:06,987 --> 01:21:09,156
So, my dear,
have you come to your senses?

1230
01:21:09,990 --> 01:21:11,867
Mother,
I am perfectly happy here.

1231
01:21:12,076 --> 01:21:13,327
You are not happy.

1232
01:21:13,869 --> 01:21:15,746
Everyone knows
that only broken people

1233
01:21:15,954 --> 01:21:17,081
end up in monasteries

1234
01:21:17,289 --> 01:21:18,999
and they end up dying in misery.

1235
01:21:19,208 --> 01:21:20,626
[Maria] I feel
quite the opposite.

1236
01:21:22,503 --> 01:21:24,838
You should go back
to your husband, Maria.

1237
01:21:25,047 --> 01:21:26,173
I don't have a husband.

1238
01:21:26,382 --> 01:21:27,716
You forced me to marry that man.

1239
01:21:27,925 --> 01:21:29,301
I am not going back to him.

1240
01:21:29,510 --> 01:21:30,695
[Mother]
Do you think I like being

1241
01:21:30,719 --> 01:21:32,221
with your whoremonger father?

1242
01:21:32,429 --> 01:21:34,890
I took care of you even while
he left us with nothing.

1243
01:21:35,099 --> 01:21:36,683
Do you think it was easy?

1244
01:21:36,892 --> 01:21:39,061
[Maria] What do you want me
to do, prostitute myself?

1245
01:21:39,269 --> 01:21:40,829
I don't want
to talk about this anymore.

1246
01:21:40,896 --> 01:21:42,231
What have they done to you!

1247
01:21:42,940 --> 01:21:45,818
- What have they done to you?
- My dear woman.

1248
01:21:46,735 --> 01:21:48,195
May I help you?

1249
01:21:48,404 --> 01:21:49,696
I want my daughter back.

1250
01:21:50,447 --> 01:21:52,783
Tell her to come home
with her mother.

1251
01:21:55,744 --> 01:21:56,787
[Nektarios] Maria...

1252
01:21:57,788 --> 01:21:59,873
Do you wish
to go home with your mother?

1253
01:22:00,541 --> 01:22:02,668
No, your eminence, I do not.

1254
01:22:02,876 --> 01:22:04,878
I want to stay here. Please.

1255
01:22:08,465 --> 01:22:11,343
As you can hear,
she wishes to stay.

1256
01:22:11,885 --> 01:22:15,347
You tell her that she needs
to come home with her mother.

1257
01:22:16,348 --> 01:22:17,391
Icannot

1258
01:22:18,350 --> 01:22:19,685
and I will not do that.

1259
01:22:20,227 --> 01:22:23,105
I will make you
pay for this, you whoremonger.

1260
01:22:23,605 --> 01:22:24,982
The whole island
knows about you,

1261
01:22:25,190 --> 01:22:26,608
you fallen bishop!

1262
01:22:26,817 --> 01:22:28,694
You were
defrocked and thrown out.

1263
01:22:28,902 --> 01:22:30,904
And you think
that you can come here

1264
01:22:31,113 --> 01:22:32,781
and pretend to be holy?

1265
01:22:32,990 --> 01:22:35,242
Well, you have
angered the wrong woman!

1266
01:22:41,540 --> 01:22:43,125
I will see you in hell!

1267
01:22:49,882 --> 01:22:52,593
Dear sir,
I need to talk to you urgently.

1268
01:22:53,510 --> 01:22:54,863
[Sir] I'm sorry,
dear lady, but you need

1269
01:22:54,887 --> 01:22:56,263
to make an appointment, first.

1270
01:22:56,472 --> 01:22:58,974
Metropolitan meletius
told me to come here.

1271
01:22:59,183 --> 01:23:01,602
His grace, meletius sent you?

1272
01:23:02,311 --> 01:23:03,353
They took my child.

1273
01:23:04,521 --> 01:23:06,857
They took her
away from me and destroyed her.

1274
01:23:08,066 --> 01:23:09,359
Who has taken her?

1275
01:23:09,568 --> 01:23:11,403
That fallen bishop
in aegina, nektarios.

1276
01:23:11,612 --> 01:23:14,156
He manipulated her
and seduced her.

1277
01:23:15,157 --> 01:23:16,825
I tried to take her back home

1278
01:23:17,034 --> 01:23:18,410
but he won't let me see her.

1279
01:23:18,619 --> 01:23:20,787
I think he has gotten her
pregnant like the others.

1280
01:23:20,996 --> 01:23:22,456
I don't know what to do.

1281
01:23:24,500 --> 01:23:26,543
He has turned her against me,

1282
01:23:26,752 --> 01:23:28,754
[deep sob] And he took her away.

1283
01:23:30,130 --> 01:23:31,173
Come with me.

1284
01:23:37,387 --> 01:23:39,187
I promise I will
take care of this personally.

1285
01:23:40,766 --> 01:23:43,602
You have brought shame
to the title of bishop.

1286
01:23:44,853 --> 01:23:47,105
You should
read these accusations.

1287
01:23:47,856 --> 01:23:49,066
It is a disgrace!

1288
01:23:50,067 --> 01:23:51,610
What are you doing
with these women?

1289
01:23:52,569 --> 01:23:53,737
What is wrong with you?

1290
01:23:54,404 --> 01:23:56,782
I had to come here
with an examiner.

1291
01:23:57,574 --> 01:23:59,952
You have created a scandal...

1292
01:24:00,911 --> 01:24:02,079
For the church.

1293
01:24:03,038 --> 01:24:04,498
Please, forgive me.

1294
01:24:19,555 --> 01:24:25,143
[Soft ominous music]

1295
01:24:25,352 --> 01:24:32,150
[Distant rustling]

1296
01:25:06,768 --> 01:25:09,354
It seems like you're innocent...
For now.

1297
01:25:10,731 --> 01:25:12,357
I will be
sending you instructions

1298
01:25:12,566 --> 01:25:14,318
on precisely
what I want you to do.

1299
01:25:15,402 --> 01:25:16,737
And I'll be checking on you...

1300
01:25:17,821 --> 01:25:19,031
On a regular basis.

1301
01:25:20,574 --> 01:25:22,951
And please, try to dress
more appropriately.

1302
01:25:23,910 --> 01:25:26,747
You look more
like a beggar than a bishop.

1303
01:25:43,555 --> 01:25:45,057
I have been praying.

1304
01:25:47,100 --> 01:25:48,352
[Nektarios] Praying about what?

1305
01:25:51,396 --> 01:25:52,856
Can you please tell me

1306
01:25:53,065 --> 01:25:55,108
what were you praying about?

1307
01:25:55,984 --> 01:25:57,611
I was praying to god

1308
01:25:57,819 --> 01:26:00,489
to punish
that awful man who came here.

1309
01:26:01,239 --> 01:26:02,799
[Nektarios]
You should never pray to god

1310
01:26:02,866 --> 01:26:04,493
to punish anyone, my dear.

1311
01:26:06,495 --> 01:26:08,997
But why? He was awful to you.

1312
01:26:10,082 --> 01:26:11,583
God wants us

1313
01:26:11,792 --> 01:26:14,127
to forgive people
that treat us badly.

1314
01:26:15,379 --> 01:26:17,923
We have to pray
even for our enemies.

1315
01:26:19,007 --> 01:26:22,469
I'm sorry,
but I don't understand.

1316
01:26:23,095 --> 01:26:25,263
[Nektarios] You don't
have to understand everything.

1317
01:26:26,098 --> 01:26:28,642
But trust me on this. Hmm?

1318
01:26:53,458 --> 01:26:55,252
Are you
the famous bishop, nektarios?

1319
01:26:55,961 --> 01:26:57,671
I am the bishop, nektarios.

1320
01:26:59,005 --> 01:27:00,048
How may I help you?

1321
01:27:01,007 --> 01:27:03,176
Don't act
holy with me, you fraud.

1322
01:27:04,052 --> 01:27:06,972
You may fool your metropolitan
but you cannot fool me.

1323
01:27:08,807 --> 01:27:11,309
I know
what you have been doing here

1324
01:27:11,518 --> 01:27:12,728
with you so-called nuns.

1325
01:27:13,228 --> 01:27:15,397
How many stillborn children
have you buried

1326
01:27:15,605 --> 01:27:16,982
on these grounds, you murderer?

1327
01:27:18,442 --> 01:27:20,110
Why don't you answer,
you hypocrite!

1328
01:27:26,825 --> 01:27:28,577
Stop this. He's sick.

1329
01:27:34,583 --> 01:27:35,583
Ah!

1330

[Objects clattering]

1331
01:27:41,298 --> 01:27:43,341
You are all insane,
to defend this devil!

1332

[Clattering continues]

1333
01:27:47,137 --> 01:27:48,638
Why are you doing this?

1334
01:27:50,724 --> 01:27:52,684
Get off this bed. Now!

1335
01:27:52,893 --> 01:27:54,060
She can't move.

1336
01:27:55,562 --> 01:27:57,063
Leave her alone,
there's nothing here.

1337
01:27:57,272 --> 01:27:58,315
Move her!

1338
01:27:59,566 --> 01:28:01,568
[Objects breaking]

1339
01:28:06,531 --> 01:28:09,075
Father.
Why don't you say something?

1340
01:28:16,208 --> 01:28:17,667
You're not
going to escape justice.

1341
01:28:18,418 --> 01:28:19,419
You're going to jail!

1342
01:28:20,170 --> 01:28:21,505
I'll send a doctor...

1343
01:28:21,713 --> 01:28:23,590
To give a medical examinations
of all the nuns.

1344

Hey, old man!

1351

Those stories about you!

1352
01:29:43,795 --> 01:29:45,130
Are they true?

1353
01:29:46,590 --> 01:29:49,092
Come on... come on!

1354
01:29:50,427 --> 01:29:52,053
They must be true.

1355
01:29:53,555 --> 01:29:55,265
You can tell me.

1356
01:29:56,474 --> 01:29:58,685
You can coerss to me.

1357

I understand,
no one can be normal

1358

in this miserable world.

1359
01:30:06,568 --> 01:30:08,820
You have to become crazy...

1360

In order to survive.

1361

You have been in pain
for some time now, father.

1369
01:31:07,420 --> 01:31:08,797
Maybe we should call the doctor.

1370

Please.

1371
01:31:26,940 --> 01:31:29,359
Please bring me
a glass of lemonade.

1372
01:31:48,503 --> 01:31:50,797
Why did they build
this window here?

1373
01:31:52,382 --> 01:31:53,550
It's for the food.

1374
01:31:55,593 --> 01:31:57,095
It's easier that way.

1375
01:31:58,179 --> 01:31:59,639
Easier for whom?

1376
01:32:01,391 --> 01:32:03,727

something to you, father.

go to church anymore.
