MEDOUSA

I've told you not to stare

I'm not staring. Just looking

Yes. Through the mirror

So what?

| told you not to look at me while | make up

Because you change?

| change? How do | change?

| look prettier?

No just different

Go now. Andreas is coming

You marrying him?

Of course | am. You know that

| don't want to live out in the wilderness

Pepe, | told you, it's not the wilderness

There's a village there... A school...

You'll make new friends

Exactly... his sister

So? What's wrong with her?

Nothing. Just...

she wears these dark glasses, like Dracula

She has trouble with her eyes

That's why she wears them

See what you've done? I'm not ready now

Get the door

Hello Pepe

My name's not Pepe

Is your mother ready?

So? Is she ready yet?

I'll be two minutes

Two minutes

Woman kills her husband, the father of her only child

It's about time a woman killed a man

Makes a change

Yes, | guess you could say that

Anyway, he'll never be a woman killer

There's no sharp knives in this house

You're a good boy, right?

Got over that knife obsession?

Now he panics when he sees blood

When he was little, he cut his finger...

-...fainted when he saw blood - | didn't cut my finger, you did

- | used a knife to pull out a thorn - You almost cut off my finger

Luckily, we saved it. The doctor sewed it up

Luckily

Shall we go?

By the way, we leave for the village tomorrow

- Tomorrow? - No reason not to

This is our last day in Athens

We must celebrate

Hello Lisa

- Hello Mr Giorgios - Hi Percy

My name's not Percy

Did you get them?

Show me

Here?

Over there

They're no good?

They're OK

Could be better though

They're no good

It's all about the hands

Not the knives

I'm leaving tomorrow

You coming back?

When | do, you'll be in America

Not forever

Maybe forever

Maybe

Now tell me... Why are you sad?

Because I'll go to America?

Or because you haven't learned enough?

Because you'll go to America

- Have | learned enough? - You're good

You have a future

Pepe!

Pepe!

You have to kill the chicken

Come!

Where's the knife?

There

TEN YEARS LATER

Hello Katia

Hi

You got coffee?

Yes

And you've got a client waiting

A client?

So early?

Damn clients, turn up when they want to

Good morning

Sorry for the delay

You're not Mr Bakogianopoulos

No

I'm his partner

How can | help?

| rented a house from you, for 6 months

You're Ms Meda

Yes, that's right

We agreed that if | liked it, | could buy it

Right

Well... 1 do like it

And you want to buy it?

Exactly

An excellent decision, Ms Meda. It's a great house

So... When can we sign the contracts?

Give me an hour to arrange it

I'll come back then

Going on a trip?

As you can see

You'll be gone long?

- Why do you want to know? - Sorry, | don't mean to pry

For a couple of weeks

Pretty lady, eh?

Pretty?

Spiros, do you ever look at women's faces?

Why? What was up with her face?

| don't know

It was like a mask. Like she's had plastic surgery

So what?

That's not a crime, is it?

We've got another house

Really? She's going away?

You saw the bag?

Yes

When can we go?

After we've dealt with Mitsos

- Percy will talk to him - Who'll talk to Percy?

We will, tonight

It's OK Mitsos

Back to your drinks

Mitsos!

Is the boss in?

He's painting

We found another house

A big, old mansion. Same as before

Empty for 2 weeks

So what?

So we get another TV?

There'll be more than a TV. Just like the others

We don't need it

We got the bar now

Why bother?

What do you say?

Could be a trip

A trip

Nature... Fresh air

A weekend

Are you crazy, man?

We'll do it

The four of us

Who'll run the bar?

Him

- Him? Are you fucking nuts? - Why Mitsos?

A trip

OK. I'm off now

What's up next?

The Scream, by Munch

No gun?

It ruins his line

Makes a bulge

Let's go. Brief me on the way

So, who is this Tragkas?

A heroine dealer. And a big one

And?

They followed him into the hotel

The doors were all closed

They sent up a woman dressed like a maid

But his room was empty

- They searched the hotel? - Everywhere

Found nothing

Why'd they call us?

There's a statue that looks like Tragkas. In the bathroom, holding a towel

What?

A statue of Tragkas

Life size

How did that get in there?

That's why they called us

You're the one they dressed like a maid?

Yes

Did you see anyone go in or out of the room?

Yes. | mean, | didn't see anyone

Anyone in the hallway, or near the elevator?

Well?

There was a woman. Waiting for the elevator

| saw her when | was leaving

Can you describe her?

Quite tall

Dressed in black. Dark glasses

- Dark glasses inside the hotel? -Yes

That's why | noticed her

But it was very quick

- The elevator came? -Yes

How old was she?

In her 40's

Didn't seem Tragkas's kind. That's why | didn't report it

How did she seem?

Respectable

| remember

| saw a statue like this before

In a magazine at the office

Here it is

Protest by an anonymous artist

What's he protesting about?

The rape of nature

A chemical plant's being built there

Check all precincts

See if other statues have been found

All police stations?

Every single one

- How did you get in? - Found the key under the mat

You had that dream again?

What's this?

That's you, right?

Yes

Who's she?

My mother

Her hair's like mine

That picture's weird

Why do you look so scared?

My mother caught me killing a chicken

That's no reason to be scared

Didn't want me playing with knives

Is that right?

She obviously didn't

What about your father?

| didn't have one

What do you mean?

He died before you were born?

He dumped you?

| don't know

Didn't your mother tell you anything?

| asked

| asked at first

- But | didn't get anything - Nothing at all?

Not if he was tall or blond or if he looked like you?

No

That's not good

She wasn't a good person

Yea

What happened when she caught you?

She punished you?

She didn't have time. She disappeared that night

Disappeared?

What do you mean?

Disappeared... Vanished

| never saw her again

So where did you grow up?

Here and there

Thirteen?

Yes

Always men. Always clothed

Scattered all over Greece

Are they of real people?

We made digital portraits of the faces

Reduced the expression of horror

Seven of them were registered missing persons

These are the portraits?

Look worse than the statues

That's the best we could do

And the clothes?

Their own

What they wore when last seen. Their pockets were empty

And the stone?

Analysis showed magnesium, calcium, iron and carbon

Like any common or garden stone

But with one difference

The carbon compounds

They're organic

Which means?

Organic carbon occurs in plants, animals and humans

Only in living matter

Never in stone

What do you mean, Christine?

The stone is alive?

| mean this kind of stone doesn't exist

Or rather, it shouldn't exist

They're coming

Hi there!

Ok, so we're late. Big deal

Come on, get in the back

Really? So who's gonna sit in the front?

Here we go again. Me and Percy

My name's not Percy

Why should you sit up front?

I'm taller, | can't fit in the back

Get in then

You get in

What - and sit on the handbrake?

OK, motherfuckers? Sitting comfortably?

Wish we had ice cubes

We do have ice cubes

Can't drink whiskey without them

Cheers, Spiros

Where's she live?

Up there

First floor

That window?

Yes, that one

Alright then. Tell us what you saw

What was she doing when she bent over?

| don't know

Something with her face

You got binoculars?

Show me

Did you see her face?

Not clearly

| could only see her back

When she ran towards you?

| tried to get my binoculars, but she turned her back to me

It was dark too

It was dark

I'm not crazy

Of course. Who said you were?

And the statue? How do you explain that?

The statue

Right

Let's go guys

You believe her?

| believe some of it

Such as?

She'd tell the whole neighborhood

- Wait here for the mayor - Yes sir

The mayor?

For the unveiling

Turn right here

We're screwed

There's nothing here

Let's check the other rooms first

Come on then

This one's empty too

Check this out, Mitsos

- What is it? - Clothes

Right!... Here we go

Look, Mitsos

Ms Meda is a thief

How much Mitsos?

110 thousand

5000 here, plus all this

Mitsos

Kick the door in

Stand back

Give me the torch

So what's the problem?

She makes statues

And dresses them up?

You ever see statues like that?

So what? She likes them like that

You still don't get it?

Where did she find the wallets and all those IDs?

Well?

In the clothes. In people's clothes

What people?

She find people, kills them, makes their statues...

Then she dresses them up

But why?

Who knows? Maybe she's crazy

So what now?

Let's go

We got the money. We're all done here

- We got the bar in Athens - I'm staying

Are you crazy?

Why should we?

You don't have to. | will

Why?

Because | want to

You really going to stay?

-Yes - But why?

| lived here before

When | was a kid

My room was next door. By the stairs

This one was his sister's

Whose sister?

My mother's boyfriend

You didn't like him?

What about his sister?

She stayed in her room

But at night... | heard her footsteps in the hallway

| couldn't sleep at night

Then one day...

1 discovered the pipe

Wait, Andreas

Where are you going?

1 told you...

To the police

But, why?

| told you that, too

To tell them what's really going on here

It's nothing to do with the police

So you say

They might not agree

What will you tell them?

About the statues in the cellar... Everything that's happening here

No, Andreas

Look at me

You want to find her?

And then what?

Ask what happened to my mother

We're out of coffee

I'll go to the village

- What village? - There's one nearby

This book's missing 3 pages

Someone tore them out

What pages?

Can't tell

Went back to Canada, | took them for all | could

Because | was smart

That make's you a thief, not smart

Yeah right. You're from another world...

There's only one world

Here's your money

Only one world eh?

And in this world everyone pays with pennies

What can | do?

That's from the candles they light at the monastery

- If they knew what to light up... - Don't blaspheme, my child

600

Bye...

Wait! I'll give you a bag!

Can you give me a ride?

If it's on our way

It is

May | look?

This is mine

There's pages missing

Did you take them?

No. That's how | found it

It's alright. | know what was on them

Where'd you find it?

In a house

At Meda's house

Come to the monastery

We should talk

Where is it?

Back that way

Back? You mean we drove past it?

Not exactly

It's the other side of the village

1 get confused sometimes

- Where are the other monks? - There aren't any

- You live alone here? -Yes

Up there

Sit down

You know Ms Meda well?

No one knows her well

But, | know her name

- Her name? - Her name's not Meda

I'll tell you something strange

Have you ever noticed, if someone changes their name...

they don't change it all

They keep sounds or letters from their old name

So as not to lose them

Here we have M...

and D

Cheers!

So what's her real name?

Medousa

She has other names

Melanis

The one who always wears black

Skotia... The dark one

In the East they call her Lilith

The Androphonos

The manslayer

She doesn't just kill them... She petrifies them

Turns them to stone

Into statues

The legend says she had such a horrible face...

that any man was turned to stone

What about women?

| don't know

| don't know why her face only did that to men

Or what a woman would see, if she looked at her

With such a face, she mustn't go outside

But she does

She travels a lot

| didn't know how

Until | discovered this book

She wears a mask

Three types of mask

The mask of a young girl...

the mask of the mature woman and the mask of the old woman

It's complex

Related to the three phases of the moon

A kind of trinity

Not to blaspheme

But you...?

Why were you in her house?

- To steal money - Percy, what the fuck?

- My name's not Percy - Stop it

What is your name?

Perseus

Perseus...

Perseus, the thief

Of course, why not?

I'm a fool

- What do you mean? - You don't know?

Know what?

Perseus means destroyer

He's an ancient hero

He killed Medousa

I'll show you how

If he looked at her face, he'd turn to stone

He raised his shield

Saw her reflection as in a mirror

Drew his sword with his free hand... and cut off her head

But he waited until she slept

And one last thing...

Even after Medousa is dead...

any man who sees her face will turn to stone

And Perseus? What happened to him?

He used Medousa's head as a weapon

Petrified everyone who stood in his way

He became a king

What's your name?

Katia

I'm going out for a while

This book... How did it end up at her house?

| was stupid

| wanted to show that someone knew her secret

| left it at her front door

Human pride

And stupidity

You're leaving?

When it's all over, | want to know what her face was like

You must tell me

It's weird

This woman always dresses in black

- That's how we found her - You sure it's her?

She's easy to spot. Like everyone said...

Always dresses in black

- Hello chief - Show me

So...

...she took the train from Larissa to here...

Then she took the bus

The bus dropped her here. Middle of nowhere

What's that?

A monastery

- This is the nearest village? -Yes

We'll start at the village

You wait here. I'll get the guys

What's this?

Turn her over

Hey! Wait...!

You did it?

Did you kill her?

Tell me...

What was her face like?

| don't know. | didn't look
