Original subtitles

The seizure is done, Mr Libaros.

I'll leave you this, it's the law.

Very well, thank you.

The three months you owe me, when are you paying?

It keeps me awake all night, Rosette.

Pay it and you'll sleep fine.

Red, odds, high bet.

Your bets, gentlemen.

No more bets.

Ten, black.

Evens.

Your bets, gentlemen.

No more bets...

THE GIRL CAN'T STOP

I'm cursed.

Say, Manuel.

My ring's not in the bathroom. Did you take it?

Yes, I did.

You sold it?

For the money you lost?

I was unlucky. Mourati's system worked.

You could have sold your boat.

It's hardly mine anymore.

So we've nothing left?

No.

There's your car. And orders from the site.

The bank might help again.

If not... What will you do?

Don't know.

Kill myself.

Manuel, don't talk nonsense. You know you'll never do that.

Don't touch me.

Listen, Giorgian Kaledis sent me.

There's his car.

Giorgian Kaledis, the banker's nephew.

Yes, he's young, handsome, rich...

and generous.

Very generous.

He's waiting.

You're here for pleasure and money, you will have both.

But first you must pay.

With what?

Strip.

Strip?

What did you say?

Are you crazy?

Let me out of here!

Naked, totally naked.

Get out, you dog.

It's alright.

He's gone.

He's gone...

He used a bit of initiative.

His uncle granted him the loans on the mortgage and goodwill.

How'd you know him?

Marika helped me.

He was quite friendly to me.

- Because of your sister? - Maybe.

- Are you cold? - No, it's OK.

Tassoula, seeing you rise out of the water

made me think of Botticelli, The Birth of Venus.

Thank you,

but you already said that to Madame Alexis last week.

Kior Ali, why don't you answer me about Tassoula?

You'll have her, Giorgian.

Trembling and naked like the others.

And if I asked you to take her from her husband's house?

I'll do it tonight if you want.

Every evening she reads alone while he's at the casino.

I'll enter through the garden and seize her so tightly

you won't hear a single cry from her.

You'll have her before she knows what's going on.

No, Kior Ali, not Tassoula Libaros.

Tassoula Libaros.

Taxi.

No, I'm not here for business, it's personal.

Hello my friend, no, please don't get up.

I see you're very busy, I won't waste your precious time.

This is what brings me.

A party aboard the Bon Ami and I'd like to invite you.

Sorry, I can't make it.

We're sorry too, Manuel Libaros and me.

This party will be on board his boat, in honour of a rare beauty.

Tassoula,

the Belle of Corinth, his wife, she's 22 years old.

I believe I've met him.

He took over the Constantinidis shipyards

and started in lightweight construction.

I know he's now stuck, totally stuck.

Stuck?

You amaze me, my dear fellow, he has work for over a year.

Well, too bad if you can't come, maybe next time.

I think I can make it, but just for a short visit.

That would be fine.

We live like bohemians no furniture, workers are not paid.

And you have a party on a boat which is no longer yours.

You don't get it, but let's move on.

Ten guests.

Plus André Mourati and his sister Marika.

How can you invite them?

Mourati's from a good family a bit of a pain, true.

But he's connected.

Like the nephew of the banker Kaledis

who he's bringing.

Here we go.

How much commission is he asking for that?

Kaledis is interested in my construction site.

And it's this Kaledis you want to meet?

Why not?

First impressions are important.

When he sees my yacht, and above all you

so pretty and elegant.

You'll create a reassuring mood to raise his confidence.

Listen Tassoula.

My gambling was stupid.

But I swear that's over.

So if you can support me a little bit now,

it would help me.

I'll keep all my promises.

I don't believe you anymore.

When we married you said Alekos could live with us.

And now my brother's in an orphanage.

If it works out he'll be here for high school.

- As for furniture and the ring... - I don't care about that.

Just get my brother here.

Welcome aboard, captain.

- The boat's from your yard? - Absolutely.

I'm building one twice as big.

I'm cruising the Red Sea, if you're interested.

Tassoula...

Come beautiful Tassoula, we need The Silver Sailboat.

- Again? - Yes.

I'd rather go deaf than hear that again.

He came back, came back, came back,

the silver sailboat I thought was lost

The silver sailboat that the quivering wind brings back every year

I found him, found him, found the tanned sailor my heart was hoping for

The tanned sailor the raging sea tried to steal from me

My hands to him will open like a flower that lives in the summer sun

My voice under the wind, in a cry of fervour, will beg him

For me hope will grow on the horizon when the sails swell

The love we've been awaiting so long, will sing his song

He came back came back came back, the silver sailboat I thought was lost

The silver sailboat that the quivering wind brings back every year

every year, every year

He came back, came back, came back

He came back, came back, came back

Brava.

He doesn't look like he's in a hurry to leave.

Look...

If this works, don't forget our deal.

André, I have principles and I live by them.

Friendship, right, friendship?

I certainly do. But it's OK, right?

Giorgian sorts the bank,

his uncle accepts the business we bring.

So now will you agree that the hardest part is done?

Remains to be done.

I'll have him in my place and talk about nothing.

But for me it's urgent.

That's your fault.

I've done all I can.

Did you see his face when your wife sang?

Your wife...

She can lead him to the right path, help him understand.

You think?

She'd never go for that.

That's down to you, Manuel.

Back home in Turkey the woman obeys you, or it's the whip.

There... See that?

I don't think it'll be too hard.

That hurts.

I'm so sorry.

Excuse me.

We must keep to short term loans.

That's all the situation allows.

Uncle, I didn't know you were in today.

So I see.

You'll respect working hours like our deputy directors here

or resign.

I was at the land credit for the Sarafian case.

That's right.

These gentlemen will give you my instructions.

- Are you staying, uncle? - I'm leaving tonight.

Come join me on Sunday.

I'm sorry, I'm busy then.

You really don't get it. You don't know the game.

How funny you are, they got me like that.

I've got bailiffs after me, checks bouncing God knows where.

I'm tempted to just disappear.

Stop it, or I'll cry.

Of course there's the trump card.

So where are you with him?

Vague promises.

But only short-term credit, three months and so on.

Accept it.

You'll see.

So he grants it.

But he hasn't signed anything yet.

Take a look.

I assure you it will happen.

You invited me, I know.

I met you today by surprise.

Your first instinct was to refuse the skiing.

But your husband insisted.

You insisted too, Giorgian, I'm not fooled.

I know what you want from me.

You're attractive, it's true

but if I'm wrong to believe you, what then?

You talk like I'm free

and I'm not.

Trust me, I want nothing beyond your presence.

With you I'm a happy man.

Before I met you my life had neither sense nor taste.

I was alone.

Desperately alone.

Like all men you're too soft on yourself.

You forget we're all alone.

Since we met, I keep thinking about you.

Don't talk about love like this.

All you want is to add another name to your collection.

Well Giorgian, rest assured in your self-esteem.

I want you too.

Since I don't love you I don't want to see you again.

As you want.

But I love you Tassoula.

She won't come.

I only met her once by chance... by surprise.

And then because her husband wants money from the bank.

She said she wanted me, to make me regret it more.

Since then I've not see her.

I looked everywhere, the sea, the swimming pool.

What to do, Ali?

What to do?

She and her husband are playing you

if you promise them the money she'll come?

And you'll receive her.

Tell me.

Better than the others for all the pain she's caused me.

The idea of sleeping with Tassoula,

it's curious, it impresses me.

It worries me.

To see this woman, nervous and shy, almost fearful

coming to give herself now, almost miraculously.

What would I do?

I'll know tomorrow about Kaledis's bank

if they'll advance me the funds I need.

If not we'll have to move somewhere and start again.

And Marika?

- She'll come with you? - Please...

I don't care about her.

And your brother, he can join us right away if I get it.

I'm sure absolutely sure that this ship business will work.

- But... - But what?

Come on...

Courage, Manuel.

Confess what I already knew.

You and Mourati tried to use me to save you from bankruptcy.

You dramatise everything.

So what could be better?

Giorgian has sympathy for us, for you I should say.

You can talk to him somehow.

Instead of dodging him all the time and upsetting him.

Giorgian can sort it with the bank.

A smart woman...

must know how to act... without giving anything of course.

To act?

You know what Giorgian said to me?

How would I?

He told me he loved me.

You're pretty enough to be told.

So he loves you, he loves you.

Easy to say.

If it's true, he can prove it.

By helping us a little.

Where you going?

You don't know?

Tassoula, you know what I said.

So promise me.

Nothing.

I promise you nothing.

I'm not going to Giorgian Kaledis for your sake.

It's for me.

She's coming Kior Ali, she coming.

If you weren't here I'd be panicking.

- But you are here and you'll sort it. - Calm down I'll sort it.

I'm here for Mr. Giorgian Kaledis.

Welcome to my master's home.

- But who are you? - His humble servant.

I shall lead you to him.

Please...

Look at these whips.

Beautiful, aren't they?

- Which do you choose? - Don't talk to me like that.

How dare you? Let go of me!

For you I choose my dog whip.

The one that drives women crazy.

Giorgian!

Giorgian!

Don't bother, he won't come.

You'll be begging me to stop, offering yourself to me like the others.

Asking for pity from he who has none.

He will never come.

I'll beat you naked and you'll be like a rampant bitch.

The door!

You dog.

Easy now...

Kior Ali, come with your whip.

Kior Ali, this is Tassoula.

Take it.

Mistress, I am your servant.

Your servant.

Get out.

It's not him I should have whipped, it's you.

If you want to, you can.

All the women who come here, they get the same treatment?

More or less.

You enjoy it?

That's hard to say.

Try...

It started when I was fifteen.

One day my uncle said to Kior Ali, tie him up...

And whip him.

Why?

I'll explain it one day.

That afternoon changed me.

And this story has pursued me like an obsession.

A vice, you mean.

If you want.

Waiting for the woman to scream, to beg.

- Offer themselves to stop the blows. - Please.

Shut up, I hate it.

Why did you stop it?

For me.

I don't know.

Something stronger than before stopped me from going so far.

Now I think I'm completely cured.

I don't want it anymore.

You're a confusing creature.

With the vices of an old man or an impotent.

Yet you're neither.

Tell me.

None of these women said anything to the police?

Never.

Many came back and I had a terrible time to get rid of them.

And now you.

Why are you here?

You attracted me physically.

I resisted.

It sounds stupid, but...

my marriage oath meant something to me.

Despite what Manuel did, I wasn't...

So this oath...

Still there?

No.

I'm set free, I've come to you.

Now that you know, you're sorry?

The Libaros file, what shall we do?

Approve it.

There.

- I'll not count it, I trust you. - You can.

It's a big day Tonight we celebrate...

Champagne, bouzouki and all the rest.

As in the time of my father, the great Mourati Pasha, Kamal Khan of Anatolia.

Marika, ease up now.

Listen to him now. My lord and master.

Your wife sleeps with a banker, you can't be so high and mighty

Manuel you disgust me.

Hear what she says?

In the circumstances, maybe you're not up to it.

Becoming my sister's lover, you join a great family,

by the back door of course.

But you're part of the Mourati clan.

Kamal Khan of Anatolia.

May Allah guard them in Paradise.

Shut up.

Cheapskates? I spit in their faces

and I pass.

Mr Libaros...

I pass.

Maître d?

Champagne for the orchestra.

Compliments of Libaros, Pasha.

I'm twelve years old, sir.

You may see your brother Thursday afternoons and Sundays.

This is madam Libaros and her brother Alekos.

Nice to meet you.

Mr Yannis Mikolos will take care of the boy.

He teaches the 5th.

My brother's from Patras, the orphanage.

Please take care of him.

He's been with me since he was 5.

All my students are my friends.

So you gave this Libaros a 100,000 dollar overdraft

and you extended the terms twice.

This has been going on for six months.

- Uncle, the loan is... - Shut up.

I've a full report.

Eight days to make him pay or call it in.

I'm staying here to finish the harvest.

When I'm back I want to hear you finished with that woman.

That also I know about.

And settle with the husband.

If not, there'll be a legal case against you

and prison to follow.

I'd have preferred that you continue to date this young Englishman

who trained you, for God knows what.

I had you chastised by Kior Ali when you were 15.

You're 25 and I can no longer whip you.

Unfortunately.

The woman, where's she from?

From a bordel for sure.

She didn't know about the money, just wanted to leave her husband.

She only made you believe that to get my money.

And this is the mess you got yourself into.

Idiot.

He treats you like a kid, insulting.

He could file a complaint if you don't repay the bank.

Repay?

With your line of credit I paid off my debts

plugged holes.

I had problems at the site.

Now I'm exactly where I was six months ago.

And you talk of repaying.

I signed the renewals without having the right.

You said you were paying.

This is very serious, he always does what he says.

So what?

I file for bankruptcy, and that's it.

Half your orders are false. If he finds out, it's jail time.

- So what? I don't give a fuck. - OK, I get it.

- Stay calm, Tassoula's looking. - So what? Big deal.

I might just go... with my yacht and my wife.

What to do...?

You know the answer.

But you're just a sissy.

Really, I don't know.

Don't pretend you never thought of it.

For money, he'll do it, he's done it before.

It's OK, I can talk to him.

No, I can't do it. I can't let that happen.

Up to you.

I'll send you my house keys tomorrow. I warn you, it's mortgaged.

The construction site, I gift to your uncle.

The workers haven't been paid for two months.

You can go to prison without me

Manuel, what'll you do?

I'll sail away, with Tassoula and her brother.

Somewhere people are less stupid

and braver.

I really pity you.

Listen Giorgian.

Tell them I told you nothing, OK?

We can sort it.

Send Kior Ali tomorrow morning with 200,000 drachma

and that's it.

And you knew nothing.

Alright, Manuel. You told me nothing.

And the money?

I agree.

What is it?

What did he say?

Nothing.

We just talked.

Oh! Manuel...

- Where've you been? - Leave me alone.

Come on, that's not very nice.

I've business for you. Golden.

- Not here, you're too drunk. - But she...

Don't worry, she's drunker than you.

Better now?

You don't get it. It's when I'm drunk I'm a big man.

Listen, Mourati,

there's a time in life when a man must behave like a man.

I'm such a softy.

Yes, yes I am.

You're not afraid of difficulties.

You can decide on the toss of a coin.

- Thanks, Manuel. - I'm just saying what I think.

You're made for hard knocks.

Well, that's true.

I showed those Italians what's what.

What I have to offer you is special.

And nothing to do with hunting Italians.

It's more complicated and more subtle.

But will allow you to revisit the splendours of your past.

Your sister will also shine, since I took her under my wing.

So you come out on top?

Giorgian Kaledis, you mean?

When I talked about you he said: "Oh, yes, he's a tough guy

"but will he be able to hold his tongue."

He said: "Of course he will, he's a lion."

Because in fact Giorgian Kaledis is the one who benefits.

So it's Simon Kaledis?

You got it.

The big one.

Giorgian will get the bank

and the land.

And we will have a grateful friend who's a banker

50, you get it?

It's pretty clear.

So?

So it will be expensive, very expensive.

I'll make short work of those cheapskates.

Don't worry about that.

But I don't like being taken for a fool, you get it?

Then there's Marika.

Exactly.

She's got her part to play.

If she's up for it.

She has a part to play in this.

We're going to need an alibi.

I've got it all planned.

That's what I like to hear.

- What's the price? - 100,000 drachmas.

You seem uncertain.

It's up to you, André.

Maybe it's too dangerous for you.

Stop playing me.

Who's in charge?

- Giorgian Kaledis or you. - Me, of course.

Giorgian Kaledis is on board but I'm in charge

and I'm paying.

Soon we'll be together. When you go it drives me crazy.

You've told me already, what's changed?

Nothing, but I have a plan.

If it works you leave Manuel and we live in a new bungalow.

- You'll leave that big house? - With pleasure.

That run-down, spooky old place where my uncle makes me rot.

You talk like you hate him.

Tell me Giorgian, are you wishing him to die.

- Why do you ask? - Just to know.

Don't plan things on someone's death.

But...

- Who'd you get that from? - No-one.

Some think these things.

There you go.

They're drunk.

You don't need to drive me back

Mr. Kaledis will be happy to do it, since he brings your wife back to you.

That way I won't be alone.

Mind what you say here.

Hello young lovers.

Always nice to see a handsome couple.

Yes, that's the way it is.

You rang, sir?

Rosette serve food around 9.

Yes, sir.

Let's play poker.

It's no fun, you two always lose.

You have love, don't you want luck too?

What's the stake?

As per usual.

500 drachmas minimum.

That's too much. 200 is enough.

Whatever you want.

What a pair.

My uncle's been found dead.

Dead?

I'm going there. I'll call you.

What's going on.

His uncle's dead.

He's 75, it happens.

So, seems his nephew's going to be rich.

- What about that, darling? - Keep your thoughts to yourself.

You're not going to argue on a day like this?

What's so special about today?

Maybe you didn't know, but today's Sunday.

Strangled with this yesterday between 7 and 8 pm

in the olive grove.

Where he went to meditate alone every evening.

It's awful.

Say goodbye before we take him away.

I can't.

I understand how you feel, but it's necessary however.

Come, be strong.

So you formally identify him?

I do.

Banker Simon Kaledis found murdered in the grounds of his house

was 75 years old.

The police found several clues that would...

The car of Mr Giorgian Kaledis collected me around 6 pm.

It was his driver who came.

I spent the evening with him in Kifissia

and at 11pm he brought me back.

That's pretty much what he told us.

What's your relationship with Mr Kaledis?

He's a friend.

I see.

What do you see?

Nothing, nothing.

Your husband accepts this friendship?

Why not?

Indeed, why not.

Tell us about that Thursday when you came home at 11pm.

Was your husband alone?

- He had friends for dinner. - What friends?

André Mourati and his sister Marika.

And who else?

Who else?

Yes, I mean... a housekeeper, a maid.

I don't know.

His maid, Rosette.

Rosette Petrakis.

Is that right?

Yes, commissioner.

Thursday your boss, Manuel Libaros, had guests at 6pm

six o'clock in the evening according to your statement.

Yes, Mr Commissioner.

And then?

Then what?

What they did then.

Drank whiskey and played cards

and I made dinner.

You heard them talk?

And argue too.

- All three? - All three indeed.

What time did they have dinner.

Quite late.

He'd ordered dinner for nine.

Did those three often meet like this, to drink and play cards?

All three, no. Two of them, yes.

As Mr Manuel and Miss Mourati are sleeping together.

At night in the house?

Not at night in the house, his wife's there then.

In the afternoon they do it.

So madam Libaros, where was she this evening?

She doesn't tell me.

With a husband like that she doesn't want to stay home.

She's off in her little car.

But not always.

Last Thursday she didn't.

Someone came to get her in a Mercedes.

Another question.

Your boss does he have a tape recorder?

What's that?

Well, Miss Rosette Petrakis, you can go now.

We'll see you again in a few days.

I look forward to it.

Thank you, my love

and thank you again if this is our engagement ring.

It's the right jewel for the future wife of a Kaledis.

- I want to talk to you. - About what?

About what happened to your uncle.

Something you said, do you remember?

His death worried me.

Even when you swore to me I still had doubts.

Now I believe you.

Forgive me.

You know...

with you I feel different.

I'm not like I used to be.

I forget... the old Giorgian.

With you I'll forget him forever.

You sound worried.

Don't be, since nothing can separate us.

Nothing will.

Tomorrow you must see Manuel to finalise the divorce.

I will.

Marika's waiting for this. You won't have to convince anyone.

Kior Ali, I don't want to be disturbed.

Why did you make me come here? It's risky.

We could meet at the club.

It's about Tassoula.

I'm telling you I want to marry her.

What's going on?

You're all completely crazy.

You marrying my wife, him buying a car.

His sister a mink stole.

Only Leandri buys nothing.

He's waiting for us to make a mistake and he won't miss it.

Luckily I kept my wits.

I love Tassoula, we want to marry.

I promised her.

So, sleeping with her is not enough now?

Marriage can wait.

When the case is closed and Leandri's moved on.

So what do I want?

To be happy and risk free.

But...

Something worries me.

Mourati.

He's at my place.

Drinks my wine, annoys the maid.

What's worse, when he's drunk, he can't shut up.

Walks around waving a gun.

Stuck it under my nose twice.

He's the danger, not your divorce.

Don't talk about divorce, OK? Let's talk about Mourati.

Maybe your Kior Ali could deal with him.

As long as Marika agrees.

Just make him understand.

Or we'll all end up in jail.

She gets that.

You'd be better.

You're so good with her.

You're right.

And promise her some money.

Promise her marriage.

You'll be free after the divorce.

So you agree all that?

No, don't count on me.

It's other things that worry me.

Of course, of course.

I understand.

I'll manage on my own.

Again.

But I need money.

You'll have it.

But soon as it's sorted, you get a divorce.

Agreed?

Agreed.

It's difficult to explain but he saw this man on a boat

take you in his arms and kiss you.

Your brother hit his friend and they fought.

I'll talk to Alekos.

If other students are like this I'd rather he was with me.

I'm ten years older than him.

It's like he's my child.

You're wrong, that wouldn't make a man of him.

It's not a solution.

You must ensure such incidents don't happen.

So you believe this boy?

It's not that.

I love all these boys, when they fight it hurts me.

Why not say what you mean?

It's clear.

Your words mean you despise me.

How could I?

I carry inside the weight of my mistakes like everyone.

If I entrust him to you maybe it would help but it wouldn't change things.

If you must know why I say this,

it's out of sympathy and understanding.

There, you know everything now.

I'll fetch Alekos.

- You want to see a film? - No, I want to go home.

That's fine.

Let's use the back gate.

That way we avoid Manuel.

Rosette, leave that until tomorrow.

I ask for nothing better on a Saturday.

Someone's waiting for me at home.

I know what you'll be up to.

And not with a pig like you!

You slut.

Here, have a glass of raki.

I've had it up to here. Fed up.

Your maid's ugly anyway.

Shall I tell her?

It's your wife I want.

Now you're talking!

You clone laughing?

Laughing? No...

But I agree André no banker.

But where'd you find that Tassoula?

Selling shit to tourists?

And now she snubs me, a pastor's daughter?

Fuck that.

Tassoula doesn't like drunks.

You're ugly.

You stink.

So now I'm ugly and I stink?

Listen to this bastard, this filthy cuckold.

This pile of shit insults me now?

It's all mine now.

The furniture, the house, your wife's jewellery...

and her too if I want.

Tell me.

Who killed the old man?

Sorted out that shit for you? You and Giorgian Kaledis?

Say it!

It was me! André Mourati.

And for nothing.

Well it's over now, I've had it.

Your wife. I fuck her or I tell her everything.

You understand me?

Shut up, please. You don't know what you're saying.

You'll get all you want. You'll have Tassoula.

But be quiet, calm down.

You're scared, Manuel! God that's so funny.

Good morning.

I think I'll leave with Alekos.

I remembered your words.

Making him a man.

And I entrust it to you.

Your private life is none of my business.

But if it's possible, don't go.

Don't leave Alekos, he needs you.

I must entrust him to you.

It's so serious?

Is there anything I can do?

No-one can do anything for me.

What's up?

I'll tell you, Giorgian

but before the word there is you and me.

Me, who waits for you.

In your arms.

Once you touch me you'll know a woman degraded.

A bitch.

A bitch that you will have whipped before she's thrown into your bed.

Stop it, Tassoula, you're my wife.

Everything separates us.

I want you.

I want you one last time, don't say anything.

This hour that we're together, I'll keep forever.

I will be far from you Giorgian.

Nothing you can do.

Nothing.

Three of a Kind.

Fold.

It's almost midnight.

I must go home.

- I'm going, Giorgian. - Going?

Yes.

It's over.

I must say something.

You promised me and you lied.

You had Mourati kill your uncle. You paid him to do it

Manuel sold me, you bought me.

Just like those poor whores Kior Ali brought here.

It's a nightmare because I loved you.

I was happy with you.

In your arms.

Like never before.

I won't say it again.

Now I have to leave.

I'll go far away, perhaps I'll forget you.

If I stay I can't keep this secret that suffocates me.

And you'd be lost to me.

By me... who loves you to death.

What was done was done without my knowledge.

You are still lying.

I heard them Giorgian.

He howled to death like a dog in the night.

They all said it.

Don't feel it's time for the truth?

If you've nothing to fear... come with me to the police.

Very well.

I wanted you to be honest.

You're just a liar.

A coward.

Since you know everything.

You must know who bought this house

the car

your dresses.

I didn't need that to love you.

I offered to leave when it was time.

It was your choice, you preferred wealth

through murder.

We can never be happy.

What's between us will always stop that.

Look, Tassoula.

You were part of all this.

You benefited from it.

Now you need an excuse to leave me.

Listen to me.

I paid too high a price.

Remorse, the poison that entered me.

I didn't want to.

Your husband threatened me.

I gave in... for you.

Just for you.

I'm warning you now...

only death can separate us.

There's a call for you.

Play my hand.

She's going to get her things and leave.

I warn you.

It's serious.

Everything's at stake.

You're leaving?

Giorgian told me you were leaving him

after you and your brother took advantage of him.

I don't want to tell the police how you murdered Simon Kaledis.

What.

Are you crazy?

Don't bother to lie. Giorgian told me everything.

Think it through before you go.

It might be too late.

It's never too late.

What happened to Simon Kaledis can happen to others.

I'm not afraid to die.

Who's talking about you?

Your brother seemed to be doing fine.

It would be a shame to let idle chatter ruin all that.

Don't harm Alekos.

He'll be fine if you know how to shut up and obey.

Or Mourati will have to take care of him.

You're still leaving?

I'll stay.

And obey?

Yes.

Just don't touch Alekos.

All will be fine.

To prove your good faith bring him back here.

You're very beautiful.

Anger suits you well.

This evening I want our reconciliation to be complete.

- I'm your husband after all. - You're a bigger coward than Mourati.

I hate you.

Happy birthday.

- It's not my birthday. - But I thought...

Here's our friend.

Excuse me.

It's a waste of time.

She looked away as soon as she saw me.

She'll give you all you want.

She's still proud but tomorrow she'll be tamed.

She'll come to you, I promise.

- Have her received by Kior Ali. - You got it?

- As for Alekos. - We mustn't harm Alekos.

But without him she'd have betrayed us long ago.

I can't live without her.

You must get her back, like before.

I'll get you everything you want.

Here...

Look.

Why the fuck's he here?

Go home, Giorgian.

The state you're in you mustn't talk to André.

Tomorrow you'll have Tassoula.

Commissioner What brings you here?

I'm in the area on an investigation.

I heard music.

When I knew it was you...

Thought I'd say hello.

I'm so pleased you did, Commissioner.

So pleased.

Please enjoy yourself.

Dance, drink...

Look.

Thank you.

Excuse me..

It was her who brought Leandri.

To scare us.

And taunt us.

It's your fault.

You always do things by halves.

You said you'd train her, tame her.

You're hopeless.

Let André deal with her tonight.

He knows how.

André Mourati, let go of me.

I'll never dance with you.

The lady says she doesn't want to dance with you.

Whore.

Stuck up whore.

You'll break like the others.

You're young and very beautiful.

Life smiles at you.

Yet you're sad, as if you carry inside a suffocating secret.

Are you here tonight as a guest...

- or as Police Commissioner? - As a friend, ma'am.

A friend who wants to help you, and to do that invited himself.

I'll remember that.

- Goodbye, Mr Leandri. - Goodbye.

Goodnight, Commissioner.

- André... - What?

Stop drinking.

I'm a big boy now.

Manuel agrees with me.

I don't need his blessing.

Women like that we swap for carpets.

It's you who brought him here, right?

Trying to scare us.

You're playing a dangerous game, and you know why.

I didn't invite him.

He came alone, I swear it.

Tonight you've gone too far and it may cost you.

André family to me and you insulted him.

Apologise.

You will.

So, beautiful Tassoula.

You don't speak?

You said a lot to the Commissioner.

You're sure you've nothing to say to me?

Think hard.

I've something to say, André Mourati.

Like all killers, it will end badly for you.

I already have one corpse

and your brother Alekos

the next, perhaps.

You want it, you slut.

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go! Manuel!

Before I take care of him,

you'll take a whipping like Kaledis's dogs.

Not Alekos... Anything, but not Alekos.

Let him. Let him do it.

They've gone.

Already on their way.

- With Leandri? - She won't go without Alekos.

I know where she'll be.

There, Alekos, you rest.

What happened, Tassoula?

They threatened to kill Alekos.

And they had already killed Simon Kaledis

Manuel, Mourati...

Giorgian knew.

And I said nothing... for Alekos

and for Giorgian too.

Then tonight...

God, tonight...

I'd rather be dead than have to think about it.

Calm down Tassoula.

It's a nightmare you must forget.

I'll help you with all I have.

I could never...

Manuel gave me to this man.

This Mourati hit me.

Like an animal.

He defiled me.

I will always carry this stain on me

like a leper.

Please Tassoula, don't.

You'll make it worse.

Listen to me.

You must rip this shame out and destroy it.

Promise me you'll never speak of this night again.

Now you must do your duty.

Stop them.

Manuel, Mourati...

and also Giorgian, the man you love.

Giorgian Kaledis?

I have to...

Oh, no...

I could never.

You must, Tassoula.

I'll help you.

I'll call the police.

But it's you who will have to talk.

The police will be after us, we have to go.

But where the hell to?

Over the Albanian border, there's no extradition.

- It's up the coast, I did it in the war. - And the money?

The bank opens in half an hour.

I'll go, you warn Giorgian.

We'll meet again just off the highway.

That Way's too risky.

Giorgian...

Forget about him.

Abandon Giorgian? Never.

Marika, stay with Manuel the first back waits for the others.

All right.

So, do you hear me or not?

Looks like you don't.

Do what you must.

For me it's over. I'm not scared.

You think Tassoula's coming back, you fool.

You destroy yourself for her but she gives out to anyone.

Last night, I had her and tomorrow will be Mikolos

if it's not already done.

And there will be many others, but never again you.

Fuck off.

I've had Tassoula. Fucked her!

Look, he's not here.

I've an idea, and you must decide.

Go on.

Just two of us, it's easier.

Giorgian and André will manage together.

I get it.

That's why you sent André to see Giorgian.

You want to keep all the money.

No, we wait here, you bastard. You hear me? We wait for him.

Leave the car up there, come with us.

Quick.

- Kior Ali? - Yes?

I looked for you.

- Where were you? - With the dog.

Take this letter to Tassoula.

Give it only to her personally.

It might take some time.

I will give it to her, I promise you.

Kior Ali.

I've something for you, something very precious.

My mother's ring.

- Give me your hand. - It's for the woman?

It's for you, Ali.

This diamond's for your servant? For your dog?

For my most faithful friend.

Now go.

Deliver that letter.

Tell Commissioner Leandri to call me at the school

as soon as he sees Mrs Libaros.

She and her brother are in danger.

I'll tell him, professor.

They'll be safe here.

Thanks.

Come in ma'am.

I'm listening ma'am...

The border's round that cape, go along the coast.

Dump the car.

- Then what? - How do we do it?

Take the brakes off and push it over.

Come on, let's go.

Climb up there? I'm exhausted

Manuel you have to carry me.

Your brother can do that, I'll carry the suitcase.

Bastard.

She's right, you take her.

I'll carry the suitcase.

That's not going to happen.

I've got it, I'll keep it.

Look at that bastard with his suitcase full of cash.

You got hurt?

- Can you still walk? - I'm fine.

- Let me help. - Hands off!

André!

- What? - My mink's up there.

Your mink, our skin!

Your mink...

Now. We have to do it now.

We need that money.

You think?

He wanted to leave you and Giorgian.

No way.

He tried it with me, and again back there.

Let's do it.

You're right.

He's scum.

What's up?

What's up...

You wanted to keep it all for yourself, you bastard.

Throw down your suitcase.

Throw it away?

Drop the suitcase or you're dead.

André what's up?

Don't do this.

Shoot him, André, he'd do it.

We can share right now if you want.

- Marika, darling. - Darling!

You disgust me even more than before.

We're not sharing shit.

André...

Leave me ten grand. There's 100,000 dollars here.

Look at that rat, André.

Look at him.

I'll count to three then I shoot.

One.

Two.

Now fuck off.

Fuck the mink stole, now I can get a coat.

Now get lost.

André!

André you are hurt? Answer me.

You'll die too, you whore

Manuel... no!

Don't do it.

We loved each other, Manuel.

I still love you, I love you.

No, Manuel.

Please, don't shoot.

The Libaros trial.

Marika five years, Tassoula acquitted.

Good news Tassoula.

Alekos is fine.

All his friends are waiting for him.

I'll never forget how you helped us.

I'll leave in peace.

You're leaving Greece?

I have to.

I'm a marked woman who needs to be forgotten

and to forget herself.

That's not true, Tassoula.

So what is true?

One day you'll find an honest man who'll share his life with you

and Tassoula Libaros will be forgotten.

Do you believe an honest man could ever care about me?

I'm certain of it.
