Original subtitles

Can you please open your pants for me?

Why don't you open it yourself?

Good morning, Sotiris.

Do you want one too? Do you have a preference?

Do you want one too? Preference?

The shortest.

The witness claims that he saw the accused...

leaving the shop... ...at 1 am...

...ten minutes later a fire started in the shop.

You are accused...

that you set your shop on fire so you could claim the insurance.

It was about time I got something out of that shitty place.

I'd either burn it or close it down.

Nevertheless, the eye-witness says he's not sure it was you.

So he says.

Do you have any friends?

So, you claim...

...you were at your friend's house until 2 am. What's her name?

The friend that you were with till 2 am, what's her name?

Ah! Lia.

- Lia? - Sia.

Sia Tsouka. Father's name, John and mother's name Vassilia.

Go, get out of here.

...the accused had broken the window of the boutique...

had entered the boutique...

...and was throwing clothes on the sidewalk...

Police officer P.T. Was an eye-witness to the scene...

He stopped...

If I give the clothes back will they let me go?

I'll wash them, iron them, they'll be as good as new...

Mister Liggas, are you the owner of the cafeteria on Agisilaou St?

Yesterday night, 25th of the month, police officer H. G...

saw a truck parked on the town hall's parking lot.

In the truck were six foreign women, locked.

Does the truck belong to you?

The truck was stolen. That's the truth.

Is there a witness who can confirm...

where were you at the 25th of the month?

At my bar.

- Can anyone confirm that? - No.

Look... I know that no one will believe me.

Don't mind me...

mind your job.

Go home now and we'll see.

Thanks.

I don't want to be unfair.

I am ok. I decided not to be unfair.

Hold on Sotiris.

We're cops, we get the criminals.

That's the way the world works.

The criminals want to get caught, the cops don't want to catch them.

The criminals DON'Twant to get caught,

- the cops WANTto catch them. - Do what you like...

I don't want to be unfair any more, end of story.

How long do you thing you can go on like that?

I don't care.

What about him? Six women were in his truck, half dead.

- He wasn't involved. - How do you know?

If you look at him, you know.

Anyway, don't expect any help from me.

I didn't ask for help.

Multicinema Soon here! All in one:

Fun and adventure and drama and, and, and...

I knew it.

I knew it and I'm all ready and packed...

You don't believe me, do you?

We'll put them on, or we're going loose?

I believed you, that's why I let you go.

I came to hear it once more.

I didn't do anything.

Honesty is honesty!

Truth is beyond laws and outlaws.

DOLCE VITA

Wait a minute...

You seem to be a good man...

I mean... you help...

Could you find me a job with the police?

Cleaning Services

I desperately need a few more shifts.

Will you put in a good word for me?

I don't know what to do, I can't make it anymore.

I'll lock myself in and never go out again.

Promise?

Can I ask a question?

Can I get a few more shifts?

The other one was asking the same...

Am I the other one?

Am I?

I am not...

I know a guy who knows.

If he gets his award he will help us.

- Help who? - Us.

Don't you want to help your friend out?

Isn't it unfair, what they did to him?

I'm retiring at the end of the month.

Did anyone ever tell me "Thanks, Minas"?

Did anyone shake my hand?

45 years! "Come Minas, go Minas, do this Minas, do that Minas"

"go away Minas, shut up Minas, fuck you Minas!" 45 years!

I want to shut up certain mouths, can I?

So, first:

We pay the guy I know who knows.

Second:

You get your friend out, who is unfairly accused.

Third:

I retire with a beautiful finale.

I deserve a fucking beautiful finale!

So Lena, this is a very serious case.

Morally speaking.

An innocent man is in jail.

Sotiris needs my help, our help...

to make things right.

We must get some information. And this costs.

We cannot let Sotiris all by himself. Do you agree?

Running around with a camper in the summer. That was my dream.

Sleeping wherever I like, and if in the morning...

I don't like the scenery, no worries:

Off I go somewhere else till I find a place I like.

Don't take this money, Sotiris!

- This money is mine. - I told you: It's for a good cause!

Don't take it! This money is for our camper!

Shut up, Lena!

We'll find another way...

I'm making a present to myself. Any objections?

For my retirement.

Any objections?

- Thief! - I shit on your dreams!

Come with me tonight. Don't leave me alone.

Please.

Ok...

Do you remember the "Alcyonides Days"?

In the middle of winter, it was spring for a week.

But only for a week...

I'm Minas.

That's all.

And the rest of it?

That's all for now. The rest with the next payment.

Sit down, please...

- We didn't talk about next payments. - We did.

- We did not. - We did.

Listen...

I don't have any more money.

Don't fool around with me, please.

Sit down.

I have to make a living. It's not honest, I know.

But is your job 100% honest?

Cop?

Are you honest?

Excuse me...

What did I ask from you?

Even animals help each other! Even animals!

I know you don't care but everything went smoothly.

In this kind of jobs there are no guarantees...

but everything went smoothly.

Since there are no guarantees...

I cannot guarantee that everything will end smoothly.

Something might go wrong.

If something goes wrong, it went wrong.

Fact sheet

Pardon me asking... How old are you?

43.

Mrs... Robolis...

- Dora. - Dora.

Do you know what a travel companion does?

An "escort girl", as we call them nowadays?

Are you aware what kind of job you've come asking for?

I have to admit that I only have a vague idea.

But...

I can...

Excuse me. Can I talk to you for a minute?

No, thank you.

Luckily you are not hurt. Are you hurt?

Can I offer you a coffee or anything?

Do I talk to you like that?

Please speak nicer.

In the building where we met last night...

I was there for a business meeting.

I had an appointment. A secret appointment.

I was there to clean.

It is very important that no one knows I was there.

Do you remember me?

I mean, we first met at the super market.

I helped you back then, didn't I?

Thank you.

Sit down, please.

I am a police officer.

I am a police interrogator, at the police station nearby.

My chief arrested a guy...

I was sure he was innocent.

You could tell by looking at him... a poor guy...

My partner proposed to buy some information...

There are people, you know, who sell information.

We would find the guilty ones...

and prove that the guy is innocent.

But we didn't have enough money... and we took the money...

from my partner's wife.

Against her will, you see?

It was her savings to buy a camper...

Nevertheless...

Nevertheless we took the money.

The nightwatcher in the office where we met...

...would give as the information. A dishonest man.

He wanted to fool us, to blackmail us...

Listen, I haven't done any...

...great things in my life...

I am a police officer... What can I do?

I listen to every case...

I look at the suspect and listen...

...I try to be fair... As much as possible.

I haven't done any great things in my life... nothing...

I live...

I live alone in the same building as you.

Yes...

And...

And I try to be fair. I am...

It is important. At least I believe it is.

Last night, I thought to...

What do I have to lose? What... do I lose?

Nothing... I have... nothing to lose...

I will... jump... fall off a balcony...

...I have nothing to lose...

I couldn't do it...

Really... I don't... know why but...

He was standing there smoking a cigarillo.

Cigarillo!

And...

He was showing off.

You cannot imagine how he was showing off.

He was blackmailing us...

...giving us lessons on life.

That he is normal...

...and all the rest of us, we are like him.

"So, your job is honest 100%?"

"Is your job honest 100%?"

And then I shot him.

My... my gun shot him...

My finger on the trigger didn't obey me.

Do you understand what I'm telling you?

Then he fell on the floor.

We had to do something. Leave him like that?

We carried him, took him to the parking lot...

threw him in a garbage bin.

It was very difficult. Very difficult.

You cannot imagine... You wouldn't think that it is that difficult...

...to carry a man.

And then I remembered the money.

The money... of my partner's wife...

We had forgotten it.

I thought, "this is too much".

It must have fallen off somewhere, I ran back...

...I went through the garbage, since he had it on him when...

It wasn't there.

Then I ran to the office... I got lost...

...I searched... found the office... it wasn't there either.

I looked everywhere. Where did the money go?

Then I met you...

I thought... now... I thought... ..."now you are finished."

"Finished... surrender to the police... it's over!"

I went...

...but I couldn't do it.

I was sitting in front of my chief...

with my mouth wide open, like an idiot...

Why are you telling me all this?

I don't know.

Anyway, now you know everything about me.

Please...

Please...

The menu, please.

The menu. I want to eat.

Hello...

...the police... ...homicide...

...Mrs Robolis? - Yes.

...cleaning lady? - Yes.

...clean the offices of S&S?

Yes.

...a testimony tomorrow?

Yes. What is this about?

...some information.

Goodnight.

Women are weak...

Tell me now...

What time did you arrive here two nights ago?

Around 10 I think. What happened?

The nightwatcher disappeared.

Maybe even murdered.

Did you meet him?

- No. - No?

And how did you get in?

He used to leave the back door open.

When we arrived we saw it open and came in.

We could not imagine that... this had happened.

The office was a mess when I came in.

And the door was unlocked.

And how did the office look when you arrived?

Could you bring it to the state it was when you arrived?

This was a small stain of blood.

Small or big, it doesn't matter.

Blood stains on carpets are tough ones.

They never go away entirely.

Yes, I know.

But tell me something.

You found the office like that.

You found blood on the carpet.

Didn't you think that something bad might have happened?

Why didn't you inform your employer?

Why didn't you call the police?

I am a cleaning woman.

I clean corridor after corridor...

office after office, while my shift lasts.

Some offices are messy, as if pigs live in them,

they know that someone comes to clean and they don't care.

Others are so and so.

Others look abandoned.

Do you think I ask every time...

why this is like this or that is like that?

I clean and go to the next one.

Can I give you some advice?

Blood stains can only be removed with acetone.

- Really? - Easily.

- I didn't know. - From now on you do know.

Did you tell him about me?

What did you tell them?

She's playing games with you.

She is bluffing and playing with you.

And how do you know?

"I'll give you one, and keep the other."

"I leave you alone, you leave me alone."

"I do you a favor, but I want my reward."

"One for you - one for me."

"Quits".

- Maybe she pitied me. - She pitied you...

- She pitied me. - She pitied you...

This way!

They say you're a good man.

Thanks.

It's not that she paid with a 50-euro bill.

It's the way she did it.

So easily.

How easily?

Easily like someone who has money.

Has money and spends it.

She is looking for a job.

Mrs Robolis?

Hello. My name is Dora Robolis.

Tell us something about you, Dora.

I am 37 years old, single -for the time being...

I have studied marketing and business administration.

Now I work for an internet company.

What else?

I speak English well, a bit of Spanish.

I really enjoy traveling, dancing, the movies...

That's it.

- She is smart. - She may be sincere.

Yes, please?

- I wanted to thank you. - You're welcome.

If you excuse me, I am busy.

I wanted to thank you.

It doesn't exist. It's an imaginary landscape.

Why did you help me?

Either you helped me...

because I helped you at the super market...

or you helped me...

because you are hiding something.

What am I hiding?

The night we met, I lost an envelope full of money.

It's not mine. It's my partner's wife.

The envelope disappeared. Maybe you found it.

I didn't find anything.

So: You helped me - I owe you.

Would you go out with me Saturday night?

It's my treat.

Under one condition:

If you helped me because you wanted to, accept.

But if you helped me just to keep the money...

then please don't accept.

What money?

It's important for me to know why you helped me.

It's important for me to know that you believed me.

And not because of the money or any other reason.

I don't understand your invitation.

Can't I just accept or decline?

Did you take the envelope with the money?

What money?

Great...

So... Will you come out with me on Saturday night?

Ok.

- Do you like rock music? - Yes.

I am an old rocker.

She didn't take it.

- How do you know? - I know.

- You know. - I know.

- You know... - I know!

She told me. I believed her.

Dimitriou?

Here is stated that you fatally shot your brother...

with a shotgun.

I never liked my brother.

I didn't think of him as a brother.

After dad's death, he demanded the bakery for himself.

"This is it, DUDE" he said.

I pointed the gun at him. "What are you looking at, DUDE?"

And my finger slipped by itself on the trigger...

Just a second...

Can a finger slip by itself on a trigger...

...if you don't want it a bit?

You have to want it a bit, don't you?

No, no, I know what I'm saying. It is possible. Easy.

My finger was just touching the trigger softly...

like when you go hunting, just touching it!

Suddenly, I feel my finger slipping - just like that!

I can still feel it. I still have it right there!

It was slipping and slipping, and a bit more, and more,

and it kept slipping!

And I didn't do anything.

As if the rest of me was paralyzed and only my finger was working.

My finger was faster than me, you see?

Can you prove that a finger slips on its own on the trigger?

Can you?

Unfortunately you probably can't.

In cases like yours, only two things help:

No eyewitnesses,

or a clear conscience.

Unfortunately, your conscience is half clear.

And there are witnesses.

How are you doing?

Myself, I am open 24/7 now. That's what everybody will do.

Those who don't get it are gonna close down for sure.

Do you forgive me?

I still love you, you know.

And I am ready.

One should learn from his own mistakes...

Do you forgive me?

I never met a woman before...

I never met a woman before...

I never met a woman before...

I don't believe a word anyway.

Do you need any money?

Now that we're open 24/7 I have no problem.

No matter what, you can always depend on me.

It's all you lent me. The TV is in as well.

I don't want to owe you anything.

But the TV was a gift!

That's not right!

- It was a loan. - It was a gift.

For your birthday and please accept it!

It was a loan.

A gift.

A loan.

A gift.

A loan.

A gift.

What's the matter with you, my sweetheart?

Can't you accept a simple gift?

I am telling you, it was a gift.

She is telling the truth. She didn't take it.

- How do you know? - I know. I believe her.

You are not convincing at all.

You shouldn't have taken this money, Sotiris. I told you.

You could say, "what difference does it make?

This is murder, and we're talking about money"?

Well, murder is important to you.

But we lost our money, you see?

You're asking for support...

- He has just no place to go. - You shut up!

Ok...

I sympathise with you.

You are in deep shit. Very deep shit.

But...

but why should I help you?

I don't mean it in a bad way. But why?

Why should I help you?

Don't misunderstand her, but she is right, isn't she?

She didn't ask for anything special.

Just a camper.

And I didn't ask for anything special.

Just a beautiful finale.

Is that so bad?

Isn't it unfair that we are the only losers?

The cleaning lady gets shitloads of money...

you get the cleaning lady,

and we are left with no money...

no beautiful finale and no camper.

And with no love in the house.

Isn't it unfair?

In other words:

What would you do if I was a poor guy...

like the ones we meet in the office every day?

"They took my money, they deceived me", I'd tell you.

Would you find this fair or unfair?

Would you believe me?

You will return what is ours, no matter what.

Myself, I have my finger on the trigger, under control.

Myself, I didn't kill anyone.

Sotiris, can I see you?

First of all, I owe Sotiris an apology.

We let the cafeteria owner go. He was not involved.

Something else happened though. A nightwatcher was murdered.

He had a meeting that night. But we don't know who with.

But he also had a girlfriend...

who was worried about that meeting.

He reassured her, telling her...

"A guy wants to know about the girls in the truck."

"Don't worry. He's a chicken-shit."

This man was an informer.

He was selling information to us.

Does this mean anything to you?

That the killer is possibly a policeman?

Minas?

I think what Sotiris thinks.

Can we do anything to help?

Let's assume that the killer is a policeman.

Possibly.

Possibly. But no one knows a thing.

Why didn't he tell anyone?

Maybe...

Maybe because he is not a policeman after all.

Do you want us to help? To dig in it a bit?

- Well? - Well what?

Am I right to suspect a policeman?

I wouldn't narrow it to policemen so early.

We are not. But am I right?

Yes.

Minas?

I think so too.

I don't want to interrupt, just to say hello.

- Everything ok? - Fine. Have you met?

Of course.

Can I have a word with you later?

Sotiris...

The other day you were sitting there with your mouth wide open.

You wanted to tell me something.

When was it? Tuesday? Yes, the day of the murder.

What did you want to tell me?

- It was Wednesday. - Wednesday?

Right. The murder was Tuesday.

So?

What did you want to tell me?

I had decided to quit but I changed my mind.

Please...

Can I interrogate from you?

I came because I need your help.

I am leaving the police force, I quit.

How can we help you?

I killed somebody.

Of course we are NOT going to help you.

What were you thinking?

It's you who has to help us.

So there can be some balance in this world...

Now you are acting like a child!

Why are you torturing yourself like this?

Why don't you turn yourself in to the police?

You'll feel like a new man... light...

I know what I am talking about.

Have you changed many jobs?

I have worked as an ice-cream girl,

a waitress, a ticket controller, a baby sitter,

I've done door to door polls,

telephone polls,

I was a film extra, a cleaning lady...

And you?

I was always a policeman.

Why?

I don't know. I didn't know what I wanted to do.

It just happened.

Are you happy?

No.

What did you really want to do with your life?

I don't know.

Are you happy?

I don't know.

No.

Did you take the money?

I don't have it anymore.

So you helped me to keep it.

Of course. What else?

So you didn't believe a word I told you.

Not one word.

Although I told you everything. About me, my life, my fears...

I was shaking, I remember it clearly.

And I was spilling coffee on the table.

I still didn't believe you.

And then? I asked you to go out with me,

only if you didn't take the money.

I was very clear.

Only if you didn't take it!

Wasn't I clear enough?

Yes.

So?

I wanted to know you better.

"Only if you DIDN'T take the money".

I wanted to know you better so I lied. So what?

You say you didn't believe a word.

Didn't you think you're helping the murderer?

What if you got caught?

I'd have said that you forced me to help you.

That you threatened to kill me and so on.

And now? What would you say now?

The same?

Now I wouldn't say the same.

Now I got to know you better.

My partner demands his money back.

I gave it away, it's gone.

What's more important?

What a beautiful night.

It smells like springtime.

Nah...

You don't think so?

Sorry...

- I need the money back. - What?

I mean, I didn't hear you.

Really! I really didn't hear you.

I need the money back.

Right.

There you are.

You can return it whenever you think.

And then take it back again, if you feel like it.

And bring it back again, if you feel like it.

And take it back again, and bring it back again,

As you like. As it suits you.

Nikatsa, I need help.

Is this Mr Sotiris' office?

Do you know where I can find him?

It is important.

If you see him, could you please tell him...

that there is nothing more important?

Only that we met each other.

Only that we met each other.

May I have an ice-cream?
