00:03:06	(MAN) I don't know the names.
00:03:08	- And are you going back?
00:03:11	What crimes did you commit
00:03:15	I thought we weren't going
00:03:17	You don't have anything to worry about.
00:03:22	What crimes did you commit
00:03:25	They weren't crimes
00:03:28	They became crimes
00:03:31	- Larry would like to see you, Nick.
00:03:34	Why? What's up?
00:03:38	- You got the job.
00:03:41	But you didn't hear it from me, OK?
00:03:44	Hear what?
00:03:45	Congratulations.

00:04:38	Nikki.
00:04:40	Dad, if you always fall asleep
00:04:46	I know, but if I stay awake for the news,
00:04:50	I get so upset at what I hear,
00:04:57	I'll make some coffee.
00:04:59	My grandson's birthday's coming up.
00:05:03	Does he want a bicycle?
00:05:06	I don't know.
00:05:08	He's a big boy. Nine years old.
00:05:12	The same age as I was
00:05:16	And I'm now the same age
00:05:21	- I got that job in Athens.
00:05:26	Didn't she make you promise
00:05:33	Nick?
00:05:36	Yes, I promised.
00:05:41	I want to know why they tortured her,
00:05:46	What it was like
00:05:50	Why do you want to know that?
00:05:53	Because I can't think of anything else.
00:05:57	Sometimes people say things
00:06:02	and I want to know
00:06:06	Everything.
00:06:08	- Why now, all of a sudden?
00:06:12	You should forget these things.
00:06:15	I tried.
00:06:17	But there is one thing I can't forget,
00:06:19	this wonderful legal invention
00:06:24	After a certain amount of time,
00:06:28	You committed atrocities during the war.
00:06:31	If you wait long enough, as if by magic,
00:06:36	In Greece,

00:06:48	The man responsible for my mother's
00:06:53	And I sit here drinking coffee.
00:06:57	Nikki, you have waited
00:07:10	Thanks.
00:07:11	No pencils. Nick, is that you?

00:09:49	You said when the war was over
00:09:53	You said by Easter we'd get a letter.
00:09:59	The war, the bombs,

00:12:46	Are you all right?
00:12:49	No, I'm not.

00:13:10	I thought he might.
00:13:15	He thinks I have some influence
00:13:21	Don't give me that look!
00:13:25	I don't want to argue with you.
00:13:32	Why do you have to go back?
00:13:36	Here is not the problem.
00:13:40	What are you going to do in Athens?
00:13:44	What I normally do. I report stories.
00:13:47	- What stories?
00:13:50	Yeah, about former Civil War criminals
00:13:53	I'm aware of that.
00:13:57	Maybe they're all dead.

00:18:28	I'd hide him in my house,
00:18:32	- So I beg you...

01:42:15	Shall we start?
01:42:19	Testing, one, two, three.
01:42:21	Testing, one, two, three.
01:42:23	Stavros Petrakis.
01:42:26	(REWINDS)
01:42:28	Testing, one, two, three.
01:42:33	Which side were you on
01:42:36	On the side of Greece, of course.
01:42:40	It wasn't so much a war,
01:42:44	No, it was a battle of ideas.
01:42:48	To me, Greeks have always
01:42:53	that man's life is ruled by ideas.
01:43:00	And the period in question...
01:43:04	...it was an exhilarating time.
01:43:10	Wonderful bread.
01:43:12	Home-made.
01:43:14	You must try it.
01:43:18	- No, I'm not hungry.
01:43:21	It's fresh.
01:43:25	You can't buy bread like this,
01:43:30	Please, Nick.
01:43:32	No, no. You were born in Greece,
01:43:36	- If you don't mind?
01:43:39	And your parents are in America?
01:43:45	My father is, yes.
01:43:48	- And your mother?
01:43:52	Although I've heard some
01:43:58	some of our people chose to stay...
01:44:01	My mother didn't actually choose to stay.
01:44:04	She had some legal problems
01:44:07	There was a trial, there were witnesses,
01:44:13	- What side was she on?
01:44:18	Were you ever involved
01:44:22	No, that's impossible.
01:44:27	If you're looking for your mother,
01:44:34	You see, I've got some friends...
01:44:36	My mother was executed.
01:44:39	Her name was Eleni Gatzoyiannis.
01:44:44	Do you remember her?
01:44:48	Remember her? I don't understand.
01:44:52	About 800 kilometres away from here,
01:44:57	Do you remember that village?
01:45:03	- Lia?
01:45:09	No.
01:45:11	No, I...
01:45:13	I don't think that I have ever been
01:45:17	Some names change,
01:45:22	You, I believe,
01:45:29	Katis?
01:45:32	No.
01:45:33	No, I was never...
01:46:00	I think maybe you made a big mistake.
01:46:05	Why are you still alive?
01:46:09	How can you live,
01:46:16	I think you'd better leave.
01:46:22	I'm talking about
01:46:25	I'm not interested in your mother!
01:46:31	Sit down.
01:46:35	Sit down.
01:46:38	You don't deserve to die standing up.
01:46:58	(ECHOES) My children!
01:47:01	(GUNSHOT RESOUNDS)
01:47:48	Don't be afraid.
01:48:12	(NICK) My dear family,
01:48:16	I'll be coming home soon.
01:48:20	The hunt for my mother's killer is over.
01:48:24	I did not inherit the necessary hate
01:48:30	I am still mystified by the love
01:48:37	The question of being worth it or not
01:48:41	I accept it as something she gave me.
01:48:45	I accept her love as my inheritance.
01:48:50	I miss you and I love you.
01:48:53	I miss and love my children.
01:48:58	I hope with all my heart
01:49:01	the love I've discovered
01:49:04	I want to feel it, too.
01:49:07	I have a need to feel it.
01:49:10	To share the inheritance my mother
01:49:16	I know that
01:49:19	I know that they are ours.
01:49:22	I may be late
01:49:25	but I hope you can understand
01:49:32	My children.

Eleni
