Maestro (2022) s01e08 Episode Script

Autoimmune Diseases

1
[ominous music playing]
[Michalis] In our psyche there exists
a system that repels unpleasant feelings
and closes them
in a warehouse of our unconscious.
These unpleasant feelings
continue to live there
inside us.
And they have energy.
They want to be expressed,
and when we refuse to look at them,
they rise to the surface and manifest.
The more we suppress them
and push them away,
the more severe the manifestation.
We call them autoimmune diseases.
They arise differently in each one of us,
depending on one's psyche,
relationships, environment, and past.
CHAPTER VIII - AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
I used the last remaining eggs
we had frozen.
I didn't expect it to work
but, uh
I'm going to keep it.
Whether you want us
to raise it together or not.
You'd rather I'd have kept it from you?
I want us to give it another shot.
One more try.
I want my child
to have a father and a mother.
We've both done things
we're not proud of, but I do believe
we can work past them and
Do you still love me?
Do you or did you just come here
out of necessity?
Out of necessity.
What a great way to start a family.
I need you. Do you get that?
[somber music playing]
I don't want to go through this alone.
Don't expect me to beg you to talk to me.
Nor will I compete
against a 19-year-old girl,
just because you think you're in love.
[Michalis] Many people suffer
from these invisible diseases,
and we don't know how to cure them.
In smaller communities,
expressing oneself is harder,
more limited.
The smaller the community,
the tighter the limits,
the greater the pressure.
Can I talk to you?
Uh, yeah,
but do you mind
if we do it another time?
I wanted to talk too.
Should I wait?
I'll call you.
Did I do something wrong?
No, you didn't.
I'm just running late. I'll call you.
[Michalis] I came here
for my medical internship five years ago.
But I stayed longer.
For you.
I'm not allowed to feel tension.
I'm not allowed to get upset or sad.
I regulate my life
only to the point I can bear it.
I have self-control.
That's why we can't be together.
[door shuts]
I fell asleep.
How's she doing?
She's fine.
I gave her some medicine
and she's doing well.
She's only this calm with me or you.
At least now she's not in any pain.
I tried to put her down the other day,
but I couldn't do it.
Don't say those things, Michalis.
My love.
It could take two weeks.
You've seen how much she's hurting.
Whenever she walks, she's out of breath.
She's really suffering.
I wish she would just die
peacefully in her sleep.
I can come whenever you need me.
Yeah, you'd do anything
to stay away from your home.
[somber music playing]
Sofia.
I'm sorry, I'm just under
a lot of pressure.
I'll drop by tomorrow.
Bye, Marika.
[Michalis] We all have
suppressed emotions.
If you take medication,
it puts the pain to sleep
for a short while.
But it's always there, waiting for you.
You know how protective I am of my family.
Only this time, my family is now
a lot bigger than you can imagine.
My fellow citizens, you are my family.
- Do you think it's good?
- It's ridiculous.
Could you help me out?
In a couple of days,
I'll be in front of all these people.
What is it?
Sofia, why are you looking at me
like that? I'm the same person.
Where did I go so wrong
that you can't even look at me?
Will you help me?
"Our island is like a family
which serves total transparency
and culture in order to bring growth."
Nice front for your money laundering.
"I'm asking you to give me
the chance to bring light to our island,
to help create new conditions."
What do you want me to do with this, hm?
I don't want
anything to do with it. It's wrong.
Please help me out then.
You should drop out.
Find an excuse and drop it.
You think I have a choice?
You do. You just don't want to.
I don't, God damn it!
How many times do I have to say it?
I didn't start this on my own.
I need you by my side, now more than ever.
It's the only way we can move forward.
Are you rehearsing your speech?
It's the only way to keep you
and the children safe, Sofia.
Is that good enough for you?
Do you understand what I'm saying now?
I'll help you with your speech tomorrow.
[Michalis] Sometimes,
compromise is necessary.
But it comes at a price.
The more you lie to your system,
the more it gets confused
and gives the wrong signals.
The system gets blocked
and becomes sick.
It's itchy all the time.
- For how long?
- Not that long.
Are there more?
[Spyros] Here.
What is it, doctor?
Psoriasis.
How did I catch it?
You didn't catch it
and you can't transmit it.
I'll prescribe a cream
and then you need some more tests,
treat it while it's early.
It's an irritation, what's there to treat?
Just give me the cream and it'll pass.
Listen, Spyros
I don't want my mom
or anyone else to find out.
It's just from the sun.
- Because I'm riding a bike all day long.
- Will you listen to me?
I just want you to give me the ointment,
and I'll come back if it's not cured.
Thank you.
What's that on your hand?
It's nothing. I scraped it on the bike.
I owe you an apology, Spyros.
- You owe me?
- Yes.
Not everyone
has the same strength
and will as others do.
Why are you apologizing to me?
For backing out.
What are you talking about, Ma?
- You know what.
- I don't. Are you losing it?
Going to Athens was stupid from the start.
I was just fooling around,
let's be honest.
Because the truth is that
I don't want to study, or live there.
And Yianna won't just sit around
and wait for me forever.
When I'm out of the military,
I'll come back and help Dad with work.
What?
What did you say to me?
Ma, let's cut the bullshit.
That job brings in lots of cash.
Hey, guys!
What's up?
- Hi, Yianna.
- How are you, Miss Maria?
Ready to go?
Just a moment, it's hot outside
and I forgot to bring a hair tie.
To hold it in place.
Miss Maria?
After I've delivered the takeouts,
we're going to the beach.
I'll stay at Yianna's.
Here.
- For you, dear.
- Oh, that's so nice of you.
- Hurry up, Yianna.
- Coming!
See you, Ma.
Oh man, I'm dying.
Hm.
Bye!
["What's Happened to Me?"
by Ryan Cain and The Ables playing]
[Michalis] When you have
an autoimmune disease,
your body gets confused
and can't tell its own cells apart.
It thinks they're foreign bodies
and it fights them.
It can't see the reality
and sooner or later,
it'll physically manifest.
When we're young,
we lack a sense of danger.
This can sometimes be our salvation.
We say whatever we want,
whatever we feel,
without fear.
I'm listening.
Hello.
I'm not stupid, I know what's going on.
You regret what we did the other night,
and you're avoiding me
because you don't know how to tell me.
Yes.
Then why did you want to see me?
To make me feel even worse?
No.
I don't want to avoid you anymore.
Klelia
If only
If only I could just change everything.
If I didn't care,
if only I could keep up with you,
- if only I were younger, if only I
- If only you had inner strength.
If only you could stop fooling yourself
and live life the way you wanted to.
Goodnight.
- Klelia!
- Leave me alone.
- Can you please wait?
- Go away!
Klelia!
You're just another asshole.
Please, calm down.
You make me feel bad for expressing
my feelings. You're pathetic!
- I never meant anything like
- I feel so dumb because of you,
when the truth is that
I wouldn't have done any of it
if you hadn't given me the green light.
And you know full well
that you opened the door for me.
Just like you are right now.
What are you doing here?
What do you want?
To humiliate me?
No.
Okay so, why then?
What the fuck did I do
to deserve this? God-damn it!
[calm music playing]
[Klelia crying]
Take your time and consider.
I meant every single word I said.
I also meant it.
Only for me, it's much harder.
[piano music playing]
Klelia?
Klelia.
- Klelia!
- Huh?
- It's burning!
- Oh!
Oh.
Ah.
Are you that distracted?
[giggles]
[Orestis] Ouch, ouch.
It burns all the time.
It's like I have a cut or something,
but when I look in the mirror,
there's nothing there.
Why should there be? It's not an injury.
It's psychosomatic?
Perhaps.
We can get an X-ray,
but if you've had it before
Have you experienced muscle pain before?
Yeah, quite often.
Did you take medication for it?
Tranxene, Zoloft, Ladose
I've tried everything.
I know what it is.
I guess going to the doctor
doesn't cure psychosomatic symptoms.
We carry them with us.
I know.
Is it too much to ask you
to write me a prescription
for a tranquilizer?
- I'm under a lot of pressure.
- Yeah, I know.
What do you know?
- About the festival.
- Ah.
When does it start?
In a few days.
I heard you're doing fantastic work.
Yeah?
I'll give you a prescription,
but please make sure
this is only for your use.
I know. Until I leave. Thank you.
Are you planning on leaving?
No.
Thanks, Michalis.
[sighs]
[in French] I'm happy here.
There are wonderful beaches
I'm not going back to Athens.
No way! [laughs]
I have a great time here.
[calm music playing]
[in English] Hey, love!
My love.
I'm so glad you're back.
Let me introduce you.
[in French] So this is Jacqueline
and this is Adam.
Jacqueline is French
and Adam is English.
I met them at the beach today.
They live here half the year.
So, do you want some wine?
- [in English] Do you want wine?
- Yeah.
Hi.
[in French] Alexandra
told us about the festival.
We can't wait. It'll be magnificent.
Thank you.
[in English] So far, so good?
So far so good, yes.
So you're English and you are French?
- [in French] Yes.
- [Orestis, in English] Okay.
[Alexandra, in French] He is never here.
I go for long walks all over the island.
That's how I met them.
Did you know
that there's a foreign community here?
[in English] No,
I didn't know that. Is that so?
Yes, we've been coming here
for many years.
There's a whole group of us.
It's It's one of those places where
as soon as you set foot on the island,
you are just in love.
- I met Jaqueline here.
- [laughs]
[in French] Congratulations, by the way.
Alexandra told us the good news.
Thank you.
- [in English] How do you feel?
- I feel, uh, lost.
[in French] It's an adventure
you'll love, you'll see.
So, cheers!
- Cheers.
- [in Greek] Cheers.
[in English] Did it bother you
I asked them over?
Not at all.
They're a charming couple.
Indeed, they are.
I didn't know
you were so open about your pregnancy.
Why not?
I'll start to show soon.
I'm past my first trimester.
That's right.
You can't process it yet, can you?
- No.
- Hm.
I understand you.
I didn't leave you much room.
Alexandra
I'd like to have them over again.
I want to meet their friends. I love it
that there are foreigners on this island.
Please, can you come here for a minute?
So
I'll be there for the child and for you,
whatever you need.
But I won't be with you.
I don't want to give it another try.
I'm somewhere else.
I can't be where I want to be,
but my mind can.
It'll pass.
I don't want it to pass.
It'll pass.
Do you really think a 19-year-old girl
will cling to a middle-aged man for long?
- No, I guess not.
- So, then,
it will pass.
Even if it passes,
I don't want us to be together.
You can stay here as long as you like,
we can find a way
for us to communicate better,
but I don't want to be a couple.
And I don't want
to keep having second thoughts,
nor get angry with you, nor be afraid.
[calm music playing]
I bumped into the electrician earlier
and I asked him
to install a Wi-Fi booster.
It's time for me
to get back to work, part-time.
Isn't that better
than me going back to Athens?
Yeah, it is.
You wouldn't mind if I,
uh, had them over again?
Not at all.
[curious playful music playing]
[church bells ringing]
You're here?
I was just heading to the taverna.
Hi, Haris.
- Don't "hi" me, let's go!
- Where?
- You have no idea what's going on?
- What?
The boat with all the musicians
from Corfu just arrived.
- When?
- Come on!
There's no one to welcome them.
- Come on, let's go.
- But I can't.
Yes you can, come with me. Come on.
[boat horn honks]
You'd be crazy
if you didn't come back here.
You shouldn't deprive
yourself this pleasure.
He promised me he wouldn't touch me again
as long as I don't come to this school.
It's better for all of us.
He said that before.
You believe he'll honor his word?
I don't.
He's calmer though.
Things are quieter at home now.
For my Spyros
and all of us.
[door opens]
[music playing on radio]
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
What are you doing?
What you told me. [laughs]
Anything to avoid going home.
And you know what's even better?
No one misses me.
They haven't even bothered to look for me.
I made a spanakopita and it's ready.
And also brought a bottle of wine.
No one realized
it was missing either. [laughs]
How's she doing?
The same.
[Marika whines]
- Hey.
- Michalis?
Be honest with me.
If I went to Athens,
if I left everything behind and went,
- would you come?
- Yes.
But you won't leave.
You've got more important things
to take care of.
Yes, I do.
But that doesn't mean that, um,
I don't want to move on with my life.
You've heard these words before,
haven't you, girl?
The same words, again and again.
This is the last time I'm helping Fanis.
And the main reason is that
is that I'm worried about my kids.
What is Sofia telling us, love?
She's asking us
to go to Athens? Is that it?
To go to Athens, hm?
I'm being serious right now.
I don't want to be serious.
I asked you to help me
with the dog and that's it.
Thanks for dinner.
I know you have good intentions,
but I can't talk seriously
with you anymore.
Unless you want
to see me break and fall apart?
- No.
- Good.
Let's forget about it and have dinner.
How's Fanis' speech?
Did you write it?
Mom.
Mom?
Mom?
What happened? What's wrong?
Mom, it's me. Can I ask you something?
- Something with the kids?
- No, Mom, I'm the one who needs you.
Can you give me some of the stuff
you were smoking the other day?
- I need it, please.
- Huh?
I don't feel well,
I need to calm down
and I won't take the pills anymore.
I can't help you.
You're to blame for a lot,
the least you can do is give me
a bit of the stuff you smoke.
Oh my God.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks for waking me.
Sorry.
So what did I do now?
- I'm not having this discussion now.
- Sofia, come on.
Your attitude is seriously
getting on my nerves.
It's always the same.
You try to talk to me
and then you get cold feet,
- then you get mad at me for nothing.
- I want to go.
I'll break up with Fanis
and move to Athens with my kids.
[scoffs]
Do you know how many times
I've heard you say that?
And you never supported me.
[scoffs]
I would have
if I thought you'd go through with it.
Stop it, Mom.
You were only thinking about yourself.
You didn't want to be alone.
Me staying with Fanis
was convenient for you
because you could control everyone
and come out as the nice guy.
- We all got something out of it.
- Well, I didn't.
You screwed me up.
Sofia, you're a grown-up woman.
This conversation is ridiculous.
You never wanted my dad. Ever.
And I was there to remind you
of your misery with him.
You were emasculated,
then you emasculated all of us.
I never held back your kids
from doing anything.
- On the contrary, I'm the one
- [Sofia] Yes, we know.
You're the perfect grandma. Good for you!
But as a mother, you sucked.
I hope your daughter
doesn't tell you the same thing one day.
If she does,
I have the guts to tell her I'm sorry.
And?
Where will that get you?
It will help my child
feel a little better.
Sofia, are you really going to blame me
at three o'clock in the morning
because you don't like your life?
What the hell is wrong with you?
You want me to take the blame again?
You're doing just fine with Fanis,
you two are the same.
You complement each other. You know it.
I'll leave with my children
and you'll do whatever you want.
Do you think that I really care?
Do you truly think
I'm the one keeping you all here?
Do you know how many things
I still want to do with my life?
And I will, for sure.
But, you see, my mother
isn't alive for me to blame her.
One last thing and then I'm off to bed
because I have rehearsal in the morning
and I need my voice.
And you've made me very angry.
If you are still expecting
your mother's approval at the age of 45,
then you'll always stay a victim.
[somber music playing]
Even if I apologize to you 100 times,
it wouldn't change anything.
And I did love your father,
I loved him so much.
Perhaps I never fell in love with him,
but I still loved him.
And I also know I raised you with love.
I won't take the blame
for any of your failures,
nor for how rigid you've become.
And give me that joint, Sofia. Enough.
So you raised me with love?
A lot. Always.
How can you even question that?
And how do you know what love means, Mom?
What's that?
You backed out of your dreams,
you backed out of the love of your life,
you backed out of anything
that could have made you happy.
So how did you learn what love is?
I think you're confusing fear
with love and happiness, Mom.
Can you pass me
the butter, Klelia, please?
[Sofia] She can't hear you.
What is it with young people
always wearing headphones?
She's so in love she doesn't know
what's going on around her.
You think we're in for a big drama?
I'm not going
to interfere with her ever again.
Let her figure it out on her own.
- Want some honey?
- No.
I'm sorry.
Come again?
Are you ever going to take
those headphones out of your ear holes?
What the hell? You freaked me out!
Did you just apologize to me?
What's that all about?
Dragging your feet
around the house like you're broken.
Want some honey?
You're all crazy in this house, I swear.
Honey!
["Un uomo che vale" by Gino Paoli playing]
Mom, did you just apologize to me?
[laughs]
Ah!
["Un uomo che vale"
by Gino Paoli continues playing]
[Klelia] Relax,
no one's going to see us here.
I know, I'm calm.
I missed you.
I know it's weird
because I see you every day,
but I still missed you.
I missed you too.
Yeah, but please, don't start
with the "if onlys" again.
"If only, if only, if only"
No, no, I won't start
with the "if onlys" again. I promise.
You can also shout
as much as you want here.
The worst possible outcome is a landslide.
Is what you're about
to tell me that terrible?
[sighs] So,
Alexandra and I split up a long time ago.
Why is she here then?
The fact is, at the time,
we were trying
to get pregnant and it was really hard.
And ultimately, didn't work.
So we tried artificially.
IVF?
Yes.
She tried one last time on her own.
While I was here, without me knowing it.
And it worked.
That's why she came here.
She's pregnant
and she's going to keep it.
She wants it very much.
Do you want it?
That's where our age difference comes in,
as we see things very differently.
You want to get together again with her?
- No.
- Why not?
It's over.
How can you want to have a baby
with a woman if you're "over her"?
She wants it.
I can't take it away from her.
Okay.
What?
Are you hungry?
So,
I took these from my house
and this one, uh, from my dad's cellar.
Did you hear what I just said?
Yes. And I don't care.
What you've done in the past is one thing
and what I want for us now is another.
You having a kid
with your ex-wife is none of my concern.
As long as she's your ex, I'm good.
She is.
Way before I met you.
["Full of Hearts"
by Kostas Christides playing]
You should eat this. It's stuffed veggies.
I can't understand
how you like someone so
I don't "like" you.
I'm in love with you.
What's the difference?
It's huge.
In essence, I don't understand
a thing you're saying.
I can't
I don't exactly know what love is
and I'm not concerned.
However, when I'm with you,
I have such a good time
that I forget about everything else.
Want to know something?
I think we may
actually be good for each other.
- So you think?
- [Klelia] Yes.
It makes no difference to me
that you're 30 years older.
So what?
Eat your food.
I don't want to.
- You've put on some weight, huh?
- Yes.
- And you feel bad?
- Yes.
So that means
that when you're 30 years old,
then I'm going to be 50 something?
Fifty-six?
Fifty-seven?
Fifty-eight!
Jesus Christ! Oh man, I don't believe it!
It's not possible!
It can't be!
[Klelia laughing]
[kissing]
There she is.
Hi.
Thanos dropped by to see you
and I asked him to stay for coffee.
Hi.
Um, if you'll excuse me, I need to go.
I have work.
Thanos, come by again.
Sorry for coming over like this.
I called but your phone was off,
so I didn't know if you'd be here
and I thought I'd just drop by.
That's alright.
Have you been to the beach?
Yes.
- Were you with him?
- Thanos
I was very rude to you
the other day and it wasn't right.
Yeah, what I did wasn't right either.
Yeah, you can say that.
I'm a mess.
I really miss you.
I think about you all the time.
Tell me you weren't with him.
So it's over between us?
Thanos,
I don't want to screw you over.
You've been a perfect gentleman.
- And it's not that I don't like you. I do.
- Yeah
Imagine what you'd do if you didn't.
Fine, whatever you say, you're right.
But I didn't do anything
on purpose, honestly.
- I tried with you, but
- But what?
I was not in love.
And you are with him?
What do you have in common, Klelia?
He's so much older than you,
he's married, what the fuck?
Are you trying to get hurt?
Maybe.
Fine. Do you mind
if I stop you from doing this to yourself?
It's not up to you, Thanos.
We'll see about that.
What are you going to do now?
- Are you going to Athens?
- [sighs] Thanos
[whispering] Your granddaughter
has put on quite a show this summer.
When she's in motion, totally ruthless.
Cut it out!
What an amazing family,
Grandma. You must be very proud.
[Thanos] What was it all about?
- Oh, I didn't tell you.
- What?
I've decided which song I'll sing.
- Which one?
- "Lucky Star" by Konstantinos Vita.
Ah, I like that one.
[Thanos] How long
have you been fucking him?
- [Klelia] Calm down, please.
- [Thanos] I am calm.
- [Thanos] Fine.
- [Klelia] Stop.
[Thanos] I've told you.
[Klelia] Not everything works out.
- She's right.
- Hm.
- [Klelia] What do you want me to do?
- Grovel.
[upbeat music playing]
[ominous music playing]
- Fanis?
- You haven't been straight with me, man.
- Pardon?
- I only asked one thing from you.
And you did exactly the opposite.
Are you trying to test me, dude?
No, that's not my intention at all.
You know what's fucked up?
I trusted you, because I thought
we understood each other.
And you stabbed me in the back.
- Fanis
- Don't "Fanis" me!
You don't have any kids,
so you don't get to talk.
- Calm down.
- Calm down?
Your wife is pregnant,
you're fooling around
with my 19-year-old daughter
and you're asking me to calm down?
Here's how it's going to be.
As soon as that fucking festival is over,
you'll pack and you'll leave.
And if you dare go near my child again,
you fucking bastard,
I'm going to fuck you up
and dump you in the sea.
Are we clear?
["De Me Theloun" by FY playing]
Yianna, will you turn down the volume?
Baby,
look at me.
Should I post this picture right now?
Can you turn it down?
Okay, listen.
I don't care what your deal is,
but I'm starting to get fed up
with you and this situation.
- What situation?
- Your freaking depression.
You don't go out or talk to anyone,
you've pushed everybody away.
What the fuck happened
to you in Athens, babe, huh?
Don't think I haven't noticed
that you've changed since then.
Nothing happened in Athens.
Why is Antonis so mopey?
How should I know?
He's probably caught up with the festival.
That damn festival, and they'll
be singing all those sissy songs.
What?
Nothing.
Sure you don't want
to come for a drink with me?
Yeah.
Can I ask you a question?
Can you do something
about your skin issues?
You're shedding and leaving scales
all over my sheets.
My mom thinks there's something wrong.
- Get off my case.
- What's your problem, Spyros?
Nothing. You're busting
my balls, that's what.
Go have your drink and leave me alone.
I won't cover
your pretty sheets with my scales.
Move!
["Underdog" by Dieseli playing]
How's it going with rehearsals?
It's all good.
Are you going to sing?
Yeah, are you okay with that?
It
just won't work, Antonis. My bad.
I figured that already.
These kinds
of circumstances aren't normal.
It's unbearable.
What did you want to talk about?
[Spyros] I just wanted to see you.
And tell you that I tried
but I can't.
And I don't want to stop talking.
You want us to be friends?
We are friends.
Spyros, friends
don't fool around like this.
They don't spend time in Athens in secret,
they don't screw
in a hotel in Omonia Square.
It was just an experience.
Fine, I'll put it like this.
I don't want to be friends with a liar.
I'm not fucking lying.
I'm not over women yet, plain and simple.
Is that why you're full of scars?
If you knew what I'm going through,
you wouldn't say this.
You won't let me.
I thought that we
were in this together, Spyros.
You thought wrong.
Okay.
But if you see me
on the street, turn the other way
because you may just get spit on.
You really broke me, man.
See you.
[ominous music playing]
Where have you been?
Out. Why?
Aren't you staying at Yianna's?
No, we had a fight.
[crying]
[dog barking]
- How are you, Yianna?
- Fine, how are you?
I'm doing fine.
I'm headed home right now.
Yeah, me too. I'm going home.
Where's Spyros?
I don't know.
We had a fight and he left.
Couples fight. It's very normal.
Your son's been acting weird.
It's his mother's fault.
He's just soft.
Sometimes he doesn't know
how to treat a real woman, I guess.
He didn't take after me.
But you need to be patient too,
he's just a man after all.
Ha.
Us two understand each other, don't we?
Huh?
He's a good kid,
he's not like me.
Your generation's different.
Back in the day,
we wouldn't let a nice girl
walk around alone
outside at night, looking like this.
Like how?
[Charalambos] Dressed provocatively.
But I like it.
I don't agree with you, Yianna.
If someone sees you,
they may think that you're trying to
It's just the two of us.
Nobody's watching.
Get off of me!
[Michalis] There are disturbing truths
in every society.
Truths that we hide.
Truths we refuse to acknowledge.
Truths that we let fester.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sofia] Dear friends,
for some of you, I'm just a stranger.
Dear friends,
for some of you, I'm just a stranger.
[Sofia] Others are wary of a technocrat
who wants to become mayor
of an island he's not even from.
But you all know
how much I love this place,
and that I've contributed more than most.
If I get elected, I want to look you
in the eye from day one and know
[Fanis] day one
and feel we're all in this together.
But, my friends, we must accept
the fact that times are changing.
Things are becoming more difficult,
more dangerous, and more terrifying.
In fact, security and safety
becomes the primary concern in our lives.
I want you to leave this house!
Did you hear me?
Leave this house now you bastard!
You filthy creature!
Do you have no shame, you bastard?
With your own son's girlfriend?
- [Fanis] Yes.
- You're a monster!
I am a successful businessman.
Yes, I'm a technocrat
in favor of making a profit, of course.
But that doesn't mean
I don't know how to love,
how to take care of people
and how to support others with integrity.
Yes, my friends,
I know how to run
a well-functioning machine
that produces positive results.
And you're the ones
who will benefit from those results.
I know how to do my job well.
And my job is to take care of the people
of this blessed island you love so much.
I want for my grandchildren
to one day be proud
of what we'll have accomplished together,
just like your children
are proud of their grandparents.
Let's leave our differences behind.
Let's invest in love,
transparency,
dignity, meritocracy, respect.
That animal beats me all the time,
both me and my child and you know it.
And you'll just sit there again?
If you do nothing,
then I'll do it on my own.
I swear I'm going to kill
that monster with my own hands!
And with all the optimism
and strength that we can muster,
let's take a moment
to consider the future.
Look at me! Look at what he's done to me!
Look at me! I can't take it!
I can't take it anymore!
I'm done!
That's enough! Lock him up!
Do the right thing and lock him up!
That life isn't worth living!
They're lying and you know it!
To conclude,
my dear friends,
one bullet can quickly kill a man.
And one vote,
might just as quickly kill
the future for your children.
Vote for me.
Thank you.
[somber music playing]
[Michalis] I've always liked
to fix others,
so I became a doctor.
They all come to me.
And I know everything about them.
They don't know anything about me.
I lead a lonely life.
I have my peace.
She's the only one who isn't a burden.
She's my friend,
my companion.
[Sofia crying]
