Original subtitles

A white van. Rather small.

My son, Markos, is not here. When they have vespers...

he goes to the church, at the square.

-We have to go to Corinth. -Half the body is here.

The other half is there.

-The second Labour. -The second, what?

I think I'm dealing with a killer who kills killers...

copying Theseus's Labours.

Come outside. We have to talk.

This is not a good start.

I did not kill Scarlatos.

-But the killer also involves you. -I asked myself the same thing.

Why all this? And, especially, why me?

How does he know me?

Antonis Grizas. Paedophile.

The killer knew that it would be hard to figure out...

that this is his second Labour.

He left his fingerprint, to make sure...

that he'd be identified.

He obviously knew that...

this victim was also known to the authorities.

All we know is where the next victim will be found.

At Kakia Scala. Theseus's fourth Labour.

Sciron's Rock.

I want that psycho in chains.

I will deal personally with these cases.

Only me. Starting today, I'm all yours.

CHAPTER 4

STRONG FORTRESSES CRUMBLE FROM WITHIN

The fall is certainly the cause of death.

Almost all of his bones are broken.

More details after the autopsy.

I'll remove the turtle shell then. It's so well glued to his face...

that if I try to remove it now, I'll remove his entire face.

I see.

Is the press conference today?

As if I didn't have enough problems.

A serial killer who copies Theseus's Labour.

-Especially, after the turtle. -Are you certain, then?

A man split in two by two pines, a pig's nose and a turtle shell.

Am I to believe that they're different killers who all love animals?

Vassilis, about the director of the Psychiatric Clinic, Lazaridis.

-What about him? -You said you are friends.

Not close, but I do know him. What's up?

He's a bit fishy.

Are you suspicious of Philipos? That's impossible.

I don't know, man.

This case is complicated.

Anyway, we'll discuss it some other time. I've got to go.

Let me know if you need anything.

I've told everybody what to say in the press conference.

I'll be there too.

I want you both there as well.

Do we know anything about today's victim?

I'm expecting Mina. She'll update us.

Guys.

Are we certain about this one?

-What do you mean? -That it's one of the Labours.

-What do you mean? -I don't know.

Something doesn't seem right.

Why does the first arrow point to Epidaurus?

The body was not found there.

Doesn't it strike you that Scarlatos's murder...

is the only one that does not fit to the murderer's pattern?

But Mina found out...

that that's the address of the clinic in Patra.

Pantelis, what do you think?

He did not kill the others where we found them either.

He took them there, to complete his symbolism.

We said that all the victims had one thing in common.

-They were all convicted criminals. -No. They had two common traits.

They were criminals and they were free.

Exactly. But Scarlatos was not free when he was murdered.

Why not pick somebody else and take him to Epidaurus?

Because he knew he was about to be released.

-He decided to start with him. -Why change his pattern?

Are you absolutely certain...

that Scarlatos's murder is connected to the others...

and represents Theseus's first Labour?

When you put it this way, I don't know.

I am certain.

Yes?

-Tell me, Panos. -Ready for the press conference.

-Mina? -There was a wallet...

on the body with the turtle shell. His license and Id were in it.

I did an investigation to see if he had a rap sheet or not.

And?

Michalis Artakis.

Six armed robberies. Two people were killed in the last one.

An elderly woman, collecting her pension, and a young man.

I see.

-Pantelis, where are you going? -I don't feel well.

I'll explain later.

-What's wrong with him? -I don't know.

-Do you need anything else? -No, you may go. Thank you.

He follows the same route as Theseus.

I don't know, something does not seem right.

Let's go to the press conference and we'll talk later.

-Michalis Artakis. -Thanks.

Listen, I want you to check a name. Michalis Artakis.

Check it and call me ASAP.

Good morning.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can start if you're ready.

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

We called you here today in order to update you...

on the three murders that took place within the last month.

I'll give you the facts and then I'll answer your questions.

About the victims.

The body that was found in a pine forest near Corinth...

has been identified as that of Antonios Grizas, 30 years old.

The body that was found in Agioi Theodoroi...

is that of Zoi Manesis, 35 years old.

The last victim was found at Kakia Scala at dawn today.

From the evidence we have so far, it is that of Michalis Artakis...

35 years old. Please, keep your questions as brief as possible.

Hello?

Are you sure?

Confirm it and text me. I adore you.

So far, we have no evidence that the victims are connected.

The fact that all three victims were known to the authorities...

Grizas was a paedophile.

Manesis had AIDS and was going with customers without precautions.

Artakis had participated in armed robberies and killed two people.

Doesn't that make you wonder whether rumours may be true...

that you're dealing with a serial killer?

The fact that the victims were known to the authorities...

does not prove they were killed by the same person.

The opposite seems more likely.

The fact that there were animal parts on two of the bodies...

-is a coincidence? -That's not the case with Grizas.

Therefore, it may be a coincidence.

Isn't it a bit strange to believe...

that a pig's nose stitched on a face...

and a shell glued on another...

are simple coincidences?

It's still early to reach any conclusions.

Has anyone been arrested?

Suspects have been brought to the station and interrogated...

but we're not in a position to announce anything yet.

Scarlatos's murder at the Mental Clinic...

is connected with the other murders?

There is no evidence connecting this incident to the rest.

There's no evidence connecting any of the incidents to the others.

In the last two months...

Greek society has witnessed four murders.

In all of them, the victims were murderers.

All this time, the police has been completely silent.

Today you're briefing us, but you're not telling us anything.

What's your question?

I'm asking if it is true that we're dealing with a serial killer...

and the police has no clue how to capture him?

That's your personal opinion. I respect it.

But it has nothing to do with reality.

Then, let the people know what you have found out.

You are obligated to inform the public.

Our obligation is to protect the public.

100% CERTAIN

-Information is your job. -Then, help us do our job.

Mrs Manea, are any policemen in your list of suspects?

-What gave you that idea? -Lieutenant Pantelis Sklavis...

is working in the Homicide Division.

There were shots fired during Artakis's last robbery.

Two people were killed. An elderly woman...

and a young man, who happened to be there, Manolis Sklavis.

Lieutenant Pantelis Sklavis's brother.

-I'm asking you again... -One minute.

-are there any suspects... -I said, one minute!

I respect the right of the public to information.

But they must be informed with facts, not conjectures.

The murderer or murderers are watching TV like all of us.

-Our investigation is in process. -Then, why give a press conference?

To inform you that the Greek police does everything possible...

to solve all these cases...

studying carefully every detail.

And I want to assure you that the arrest of these maniacs...

or this maniac, is a matter of time.

Have a good day.

We seemed stupid! You were completely unprepared.

The reporters informed us that your assistant's brother...

had been killed by Artakis.

And you were watching them like an idiot!

As if that were not enough, you showed your face on TV.

Didn't you know about Pantelis's brother?

I did, but I didn't remember the doer's name. It's been years.

Is he a suspect?

No, Chief. If Pantelis is Theseus...

then I'm the greatest idiot in the history of the force.

Take him off the case immediately...

until there is not even the slightest doubt.

Chief, I have no capable men to spare.

The way things are, I cannot suspend him officially.

The reporters will understand...

that we heard it from them and acted afterwards.

From all this fiasco, I keep only your last phrase.

That it's a matter of time until you arrest this maniac.

When did you plan to tell me, idiot?

I would have. There was no time.

How did this reporter find out before we did?

How should I know, Apostolos?

Where were you the night Artakis was murdered?

Is this a joke?

Where were you the night Artakis was murdered?

-Apostolos, are you serious? -Shall I have to ask a third time?

We have concluded that we are dealing with a serial killer...

who copies Theseus's Labours.

Even if I seem a suspect for Artakis's murder...

do you believe that I killed the others too?

Why not? At all the crime scenes, you were either there already...

or we were called and I met you there.

How should I know where you were the nights of the murders?

What's more, you have a motive.

You have a badge that gives you direct access...

and you could get information about the victims from here.

Their background.

When they were released. Everything.

This! This should concern us more than anything.

-What? -They were released...

although they had been sentenced to life.

That's not our job, you jerk!

Do you hear?

I'm telling you as well. All of you!

That's not our job.

We do not judge the law, we enforce it.

Even if the law is unjust, this is our job. To enforce it.

Who made you judge, deciding who should be punished?

You should have become judges, prosecutors, legislators.

We are policemen. Cops! Whatever you call it.

I did not serve the law all my life to oppose it just before the end.

I created no family.

I did nothing else, I only dedicated myself to this job.

I shall not change jobs now, at the end of my carrier.

That's how we are. Our conscience and our soul are in this.

We do our duty every day.

I don't care if they were out. We sent them to prison!

We did what we had to do.

Apostolos, I have nothing to do with all that.

I hope so.

For your sake.

The Chief asked me to take you off the case.

Are you serious?

Can you spare me in this investigation?

We don't have enough men and you'll take me off?

We worked together for so many years. We're friends.

If I put love or friendship above the law...

I'd become the same as the ones I'm hunting.

I can't believe this.

Why didn't you tell me immediately?

Because when I heard that bastard's name, I freaked out.

I thought of my brother and I lost it. What do you want me to say?

Do you have an alibi for the night Artakis was murdered?

-Shall we keep this up? -Answer him.

What should I answer, man? Are you nuts?

Don't you see that they're trying to frame me?

Even if I were Thesseus, why would I kill Artakis...

which, as we see, would implicate me instantly?

Even if I wanted to do it...

I would kill him last. Why do it now?

Because you have to follow the legend faithfully.

In that case, why shouldn't you be Theseus?

How could Dimitris be Theseus?

How would I know that I should send the finger to him?

Did I know him? How can we be sure that someone sent it to him?

You, Apostolos, told me that you had worked together...

in the Other Self case, after he brought us the finger.

I knew nothing about the case.

I came into the force one year later.

If we consider that the case is still open and you never...

never found the killer, I'm asking you.

Would you call him again if he had not appeared by himself?

He cut the finger himself and brought it to us.

If Dimitris is Theseus, why would he come by himself?

In order to watch everything and know how I should act.

There!

Which ones...

from the people here, knew about Dimitris's involvement in the case?

-Yes? -The assistant Chief.

-Mr Barassopoulos. -Your name?

Dimitris Lainis. Aristotelis Adamantinos sent me.

Just a moment.

Can you come, sir? They're taking the body.

Now we know how Christina gets the news so fast.

The two of them are always whispering to each other.

-Are you crazy? -Aren't you talking to Christina?

The fact that I talk to her also makes me a killer?

-Are you her source? -No, sir. I just...

We're asking him if he is Theseus and you're thinking of the leak?

-Pantelis, are you nuts? -Didn't you tell her about Artakis?

Didn't you give her his name?

You've got the hots and you're thinking with your dick?

Did you flip because of your brother?

-I'll fuck you, bitch. -Let's see you doing it.

Shut up, both of you!

That's what he wanted.

What we are doing right now.

That's why he killed Artakis.

The killer knew...

about Pantelis's brother, that's why he chose him.

To break us apart. To disorientate us, so he could gain some time.

He chose Artakis on purpose.

You go to your office. We'll talk later.

Until then, keep your mouth shut.

Tell Mina to process the data about Artakis.

Go!

The fact that the media do not call him Theseus...

or talk about his Labours, has unnerved our killer.

He needs publicity.

When he does not get it, he gets upset.

If what Dimitris says is true...

it'll be hard to find suspects for this Labour.

-What am I to do? -Find out everything about Artakis.

-Can you do it or not? -I can.

The alibi's of Manesis's client, Rodulas...

-and her pimp, Massatos? -Confirmed. They were released.

-Any news from the labs? -They got the codes. We're waiting.

I believe that the murderer...

is on our board, or else he'll never get there.

We won't find him from the Labours that will follow.

If his strikes followed some time pattern...

we could imprison them all and wait.

Giorgos Stefanou, the surgeon.

The father of the boy that Grizas raped and killed.

Can I offer you something?

No, we're fine.

I'm listening.

Mr Stefanou, our visit will not be a pleasant one.

-It has to do... -With Grizas's murder.

Mr Stefanou, I'm used to being straight forward.

You're a busy man and there's no nice way to tell you this.

Am I a suspect in Grizas's murder?

-Where were you... -I know what you'll ask.

I don't remember where I was that long ago.

My secretary has my work schedule.

As you leave, you may check any dates you want in my journal.

If the dates you're searching...

do not correspond with any specific activities, I'm sorry...

but I have no alibi. I live alone.

Agreed. We'll do it this way.

Were you glad that Grizas was murdered?

No.

-How is it possible? -What do you mean?

I've been a surgeon for more that 20 years.

My job is to protect life.

I would not be glad about anyone dying.

But this was not anybody.

-He was a paedophile. -No, you're wrong.

Grizas was not a paedophile, he was a child molester.

A molester, unlike a paedophile, is not satisfied with imagining...

-but carries out his fantasies. -You are right.

But didn't you feel it was some vindication for your son's soul?

All these years, I've performed more than 2.000 operations.

I found no soul in any of the bodies I opened up.

How many emotions or memories did you find?

You do not believe in God.

I'll reply with a quote by the late Professor Liantinis.

He who believes in God...

has a dead god inside him. He who doesn't believe in God...

has a dead person inside him.

He who believes and does not believe...

has the law of nature alive in him.

The miracle of the world lives simply...

comprehensibly, in the human level.

That's all very nice.

We could spend days discussing this.

But time is essential for us, and for you, I imagine.

So, let me ask you again: were you glad that Grizas was murdered?

Mr Barassopoulos...

not a day goes by, that I don't think of my son...

and what he suffered in the hands of that monster.

But I would never kill anyone.

I would be degrading myself. I'd be like that piece of trash...

who thought he had the right to take a human life.

I don't believe that I have that right.

We won't keep you any longer.

We'll talk with your secretary and, if anything comes up...

we'll be in touch.

...to inform you that the Greek police does everything possible...

to solve these cases, studying carefully every detail.

And I want to assure you that the arrest of these maniacs...

or this maniac, is a matter of time.

Have a good day.

-Eleni? -Good evening.

All day I wanted to call you, but something always came up.

I just saw you on TV and I decided to call you.

-Is everything okay? -Fine.

Actually, I wanted to tell you about the samples you sent us.

Everything is fine. You'll have results soon.

Great. We're really pressed for time.

Something important! One of the samples...

is a piece of plastic...

that was found in Zoi Manesis's nose.

-Yes, I know. -Do you know, perhaps...

where this plastic came from?

Then, I could tell you something more.

Not that it's just a piece of plastic.

I imagine it's from the car.

We have a witness who saw her going into a white van.

Her nose was broken.

If it broke in the van, perhaps the plastic comes from there.

This is a valuable piece of information.

Thank you.

You look great on TV.

Thank you. You're very sweet.

Okay. I won't keep you any longer.

-That's all. -Eleni!

Are you still at your office?

Where else?

I'd like to...

ask you...

I'd like to ask if you'd like to go for a drink.

I know that it's late and you must be tired...

but it would be a pleasure...

Apostolos.

-Apostolos? -Yes?

I'd really like to.

And I want to assure you that the arrest of these maniacs...

or this maniac, is a matter of time.

Are you fucking around?

Fucking around with the girls?

-How's the hotel? -Super.

People fuck a lot, eh? They fuck.

-What about Mavridis? -The same.

He has problems, no money. He cannot give any more.

If I set his brothel on fire, will he have money?

Tell him, if he doesn't give us as much as I asked for...

I'll stick Svetlana's high heel in his ass.

-The merchandise is here. -How many pieces?

-Four. -Good?

It's a matter of taste.

-Do they speak Greek? -Very little.

Go to Mavridis.

Listen! There's a white van parked outside. Check it out.

I didn't see it.

How could you see it?

You face is always in somebody's tits.

Go to Mavridis, check out the van and come back here.

Okay.

Girls, we risked a lot for you.

It was a great risk and a lot of money.

Adding the surcharges...

you owe me.

You live here, you work here. And when your dues are paid...

you are free to get your papers and go wherever you want.

Get going.

Not you.

You are coming with me.

I want you to tell me about your childhood.

Go downstairs.

That's how things are at work.

I had realized that you were under pressure.

But after what you told me...

I'll do everything I can to get the results faster.

Still...

it is impressive.

After all you've seen and experienced all these years...

you are still so...

so sweet and accessible to people.

It depends on who that person is.

Enough with our jobs. Tell me about yourself.

How come you are single?

I was married, but I divorced years ago.

-Any kids? -Yes.

A daughter. She studied in Paris and lives there.

Why did you divorce? No communication?

We communicated, but...

we never agreed.

Like most couples, we were on different trajectories.

We loved each other, we hated each other. Both.

There was no dialogue. We gave parallel monologues.

But love means to listen to the other person. Doesn't it?

So, let's not recount our sad stories.

People believe that experiences from past relationships...

help us build our new ones, but that's a big mistake.

They usually destroy them.

The mistakes of one relationship, may be just what another needs.

Excuse me, it's my office.

Yes?

Where?

Did you call forensics?

Okay, I'm coming.

Excuse me, Eleni. I have to go.

Don't worry about it.

-Shall I take you home? -No, dear.

I'll finish my wine and I'll go.

-Okay. We'll talk tomorrow. -Tomorrow.

Take care.

-This is the fifth Labour. -Are you sure?

We're in Eleusis. The victim had a criminal record.

He killed him, throwing him from the roof of the bar.

What was the name of the guy who beat everybody up...

and Theseus lifted him up and threw him down?

-Cercyon. -That one!

Did you go to the roof? Did he throw him from there?

Yes, there's nothing there.

Buddy, this is a '66 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super.

The horsepower?

Go to hell! We' re not here to talk.

Take him to the station. We'll talk there.

The ass asking about the horses!

Let's go, Dimitris. We have a long night ahead of us.

Go roofie me doing sexy.

But herd din, grub hair say go down.

Stop it!

Tell me again.

He took you to the roof to make love.

-Get out. -But...

Out, I said. Now!

He took you to the roof to have sex.

But he heard a noise.

And he told you to go downstairs.

He grabbed you hair and told you to go downstairs!

She was disappointed that I did not mention her hair.

Okay, fine.

You may go.

I said, go out, over.

Send in the next one.

What can I tell you, General?

This is quite a night. I learned Russian...

and I also got quite a promotion.

I think that we have met before. Isn't that so?

In the hotel on the freeway, when we found Argiriou's body.

-In the case of... -The Other Self.

Yes. What happened, pretty boy?

Were you promoted? Now you make your own imports?

You know, I...

Where were you when Savakis was killed?

-He sent me on an errand. -What errand?

I'll get in trouble. The boss doesn't want us to discuss that.

What boss, idiot? You boss was turned into confetti.

We don't care about him. We know what he was and what he did.

What did he ask you to do?

There's somebody who refused to pay for our protection.

The boss sent me to tell him that he had a month to comply.

Or else?

You know.

-Anything else? -Yes.

He told me to check out a white van that was parked near the bar.

-Did you check it out? -No. I forgot.

Did you talk about it to anyone else?

No, but you should ask Sotiris.

He has a thing for cars.

Who is Sotiris?

The porter.

120.

You are the ass who asks about horses.

Yes.

You were at the door when Savakis fell. Right?

-Yes. -How long do you work for him?

I don't work for him, I work at his bar. Seven months now.

What did you do before?

Lots of jobs. Until 2015, I was a parking attendant in a club.

After that... whatever I could find.

-Why did you leave the club? -It shut down.

-Says here you're an auto mechanic. -Yes, sir.

I look at your file and you don't even have a parking ticket.

What are you doing with these hoodlums?

You cannot be picky about jobs these days.

I try to get some money to open a repair shop.

Are you married? Any kids?

I cannot support myself, shall I ruin others too?

Tell us, Sotiris.

You may be our saviour.

Did you hear anything about a white van?

Mr Savakis asked me about a white van...

that was parked across the street from the bar.

-Did you see the driver? -No.

When I started my shift, it was already parked there.

When Mr Savakis...

I mean, when that thing happened, I ran inside to tell the others.

-When I came out, I saw it leaving. -Did you notice what make it was?

Of course. A white Kangoo.

-Are you sure? -It's my job.

Okay. Sotiris, you may go.

We're okay.

Because Mr Savakis told me about the white van...

I took a picture. You can see the license plate too.

Do you want it?
