Episode 3
Tom!
Tom! Help Shadi!
Shadi!
Shadi!
Tom!
Shadi!
Shadi!
Shadi.
Don't be scared. You're fine.
What happens now?
Don't know.
But…
That's why I'm calling.
How many spots do you have?
What? You're full?
Okay, I'll call you back soon.
Kristos!
How many are there?
Fuck!
Sorry, something awful happened,
I forgot to tell you.
A big fire at Mia's NGO.
Shit!
You're at the airport?
I'm so sorry.
Soon. Because of the fire,
a lot of people are homeless,
so I need to stay to help Mia.
Wait, I'll help you.
Thanks.
-Where do I put it?
-In the kitchen.
So…
We agree, we did the right thing?
Of course. Do you doubt it?
No, not at all.
But we also agree
that they'll have to go soon?
Of course! Is this the right time
to talk about the sale?
No, but we can't forget about that.
Don't worry.
Nobody wants to stay packed in here.
Sure. That's it!
So we agree.
Mia?
-Want a coffee?
-Love some.
Not too tired?
Yes.
-Of course you are.
-I'm pooped.
-I'm so happy you're here!
-Me, too.
It happened so fast, I just ran in!
I was screaming, "Shadi!"
There was so much smoke.
Thank God, I found him quickly.
He was unconscious, so I had to carry him.
You'll see, he's tall.
Really?
Hello! Leonidou 75.
What if they dump us?
What's his offer?
Sure. Why?
Don't worry. I was very clear.
Giulia! What are you doing here?
Well, I live here, Tom.
Of course.
She's Italian.
Ciao.
See you.
Cheers!
It's nothing, it's…
Shadi, the Syrian who was hospitalized.
He's celebrating at Mia's bar
with the whole gang.
And he invited me…
I mean "us," to join them, but…
We can stay here, if you prefer.
We don't have to go.
My friend!
Tom!
-How are you?
-Good.
What can I get you?
Tom, are you staying at the hotel tonight?
Yes.
-Can I stay in your room?
-Sure.
Cheers!
They live in a cave.
We're between 20 and 20,000
and a bat's at 212,000.
Their musical frequency
would be inaudible to us.
Ultrasound and infrasound.
Imagine that! It's nuts!
Good morning.
-Hi!
-Hi.
-How are you?
-Fine.
-Seems we're on the same schedule!
-Totally.
Have a nice night?
Good, short. You?
Same. Short.
I want you to be here, okay?
-Her music's great.
-Can I hear it?
I can help you.
Sure, if you have time.
He's so mean to you!
I fucked up this time.
-He's really possessive.
-A little.
He can't stand that I dumped him.
He's got a real ego problem.
He's always been a bit macho.
But that's also part of his charm.
Maybe. Why do you make excuses for him?
I just know that, deep down,
he's a nice guy.
And it's complicated.
I don't want to be with him,
but he's still important to me.
His radical and rebellious side
is what first attracted me.
Don't mix things up. It's not normal.
-I saw you together. He's disrespectful.
-Mind your own business.
Men don't understand this stuff.
So stay out of it.
Why are you laughing?
I'm trans. So I do understand.
What do you mean, you're trans?
Well, I'm a trans guy.
Okay.
So you went from girl to guy? Is that it?
Technically, yes.
Okay, technically, it's cool.
Really cool.
Shall we go?
Wow!
These are gorgeous!
-Nice, right?
-Totally.
Thank you!
Welcome!
Making your own decisions?
Won't the boss freak out?
It's my money. He can't say anything.
I mean
My parents' money, for college,
where I don't go.
Now you know everything.
I lie to my parents, to the NGO…
You shocked?
It takes more than that to shock me.
Okay, let's go!
What a condescending asshole!
We will!
-Thank you very much.
-You're welcome.
-Everything okay?
-Yes, all good.
It's all loaded, other than the chairs.
Super cool.
-I'm pooped.
-Want some?
No, thanks.
Have you always just been with girls?
-Why do you ask?
-I don't know.
Before your transition?
I'm more attracted to people
regardless of gender.
So, you're bi?
Sure, why not?
I don't think like that.
I've never really defined my sexuality.
I've been with cis girls, trans guys,
non-binary people…
Before and after I transitioned.
I see.
-You see?
-Yeah.
But I've mostly been with girls.
At 13, my folks caught me
writing a love letter to my girlfriend.
That was so embarrassing!
My mom had already caught me
taping my breasts,
when I started developing.
So it was kind of complicated.
In the end, they sent me to France.
In Burundi, homosexuality's illegal.
So trans… Forget that!
So they sent you to France
to protect you. That's cool.
Yeah…
It was more to protect themselves.
Do you still see them?
No.
Do you talk?
Not really.
Sure you don't want one?
Okay.
-It's good.
-Really good.
I'll call you back soon.
Bye!
Good news!
Titanas have agreed to sign
in the next three weeks.
But, I know them.
They'll want to check the building
before construction.
So, you'll have to get rid
of the 5 squatters.
Five?
Yes.
There's a few more than five,
but it's fine.
If you can't kick them out,
I've a solution.
I just need to press the red button.
Should I have said yes?
All that business
about pressing the red button scared me.
What's up?
Giulia,
-can I talk to you?
-Sure.
You guys will have to move out
sooner than expected.
What do you mean?
Lily and I really need cash
for the start-up, so
We're signing the final sale…
In three weeks.
Three weeks? Fucking three weeks?
-I know…
-Are you crazy?
-It's impossible!
-I found you a place.
Look, the bedroom's not bad.
Forget about it.
We'll deal with it.
-You sure?
-Thanks.
-Are you sure?
-Close the door, thanks!
What's up?
I've got solutions.
Lots of them.
It's here.
-Keep an eye out.
-What?
You're not watching.
I got delayed. Start without me.
Yes, I know,
but my meeting's taking longer
than I expected.
Love…
Plutarch?
Tom…
-Yes.
-Love is like ivy,
it clings to everything.
Don't blow your chance.
I don't understand. What does it mean?
It means, if we knock down this wall,
we'll have sunlight all day.
It's a southern exposure.
Yeah.
Want a tour?
Yes.
Prepare yourself! What can I say?
A real gem!
About 170 square feet per room,
and 1830 square feet per floor.
-You sure?
-It should work, or else…
You're a jerk.
I'm not done yet,
but look at the city, and you'll see me.
I'm on a rooftop in a yellow sweater.
I'm waving at you.
Three big spaces in a row, one mezzanine…
We should grab it,
before others squatters do.
Don't worry about that.
No, Paco. I've gotta go.
-Really?
-Yeah, come on.
Okay.
I'm sorry, I know.
Not great.
I couldn't find a place for the roommates
or the NGO.
I love Athens.
It's like a city in transition.
You're right.
Things are changing so fast.
So much is happening.
And the music scene is awesome.
-You into music?
-I'm a DJ.
Really? That's great.
I'm trying to break in, but…
-it's hard.
-Can you make a living?
Not really.
I play in bars.
And I do odd jobs during the day.
My parents can't help me.
I didn't mean in relation to you.
Don't worry.
I like your little "heiress" side.
Shut up!
-Help me.
-Sure.
Mia!
Tom! What the fuck?
You sped up the sale?
Shut up.
-Don't talk to her like that.
-Answer me.
We agreed on two months.
What's the difference?
What a jerk!
They'll end up on the streets
if you do that. Are you stupid?
Because you told them the sale was off.
Do you have a better idea for the NGO?
With the sale money,
you can get another place tomorrow.
Money! The eternal solution!
You're so immature, I can't believe it!
Why do you all keep saying that?
Because it's true!
Lily and I have a life plan, dreams!
We need that money.
You and Lily have shitty dreams.
Are you kidding? Wake up.
I live with who I want
and I do what I want, okay?
Fuck!
You're such a fucking pain!
I'm sick of feeling responsible
for this mess!
I'll call Valsamidis.
-May I?
-Yeah.
-Is that you?
-Yes.
So cute.
-I like your room.
-Thanks.
They're everywhere!
Yeah.
My little souvenirs.
Am I disturbing you?
Not at all.
What's this?
-Wait…
-Big Bisou?
The B side's a DJ classic.
What's this?
Listen.
-Like it?
-What?
-Like it?
-Yeah.
We don't know what to do.
You've been dealing
with this building for so long,
you're the most qualified
to solve this problem
and accelerate the sale.
I agree!
I completely agree!
We chose the red button solution.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Grazie.
I'll be quick.
Bye!
Erinyes, holy daughters of Gods!
Fuck!
What's your problem?
Are you okay?
Mr. Rousseau, this is Mr. Valsamidis,
everything is going according to plan
and the building will be empty tomorrow.
You can sell in three weeks.
Have a good trip.
I can't abandon Mia.
Let me call her.
Mia, it's Tom. Call me!
Of course we're on the same page.
What do you mean exactly?
You mean, like a temporary break?
It's not that easy!
I'm running around to sort out everything!
Between Valsamidis,
Mia who won't sell, the fire…
Think I'm having fun?
I'm doing this for us!
Yes!
Of course! For the startup!
What else?
People are living in our building!
We have to take care of them!
We can't put them on the street!
Maybe you don't care…
Yes!
That's just what I'll do!
Mia, it's Tom.
Look, I'm sorry,
I know I really fucked up.
But I've fixed everything.
I spoke to Valsamidis
and you can stay for three months.
So, I'm still in Athens,
I didn't get on the plane.
And…
if that's okay,
I'd like to move back into the building.
Call me!
Bye.

Tom! Help Shadi!
Shadi!
Shadi!
Tom!
Shadi!
Shadi!
Shadi.
Don't be scared. You're fine.
