Bullets Don't Come Back (Οι Σφαιρες δεν γυριζουν πισω)

Well done, Tsakos! You got us a great post.

Beware, they are eagles!

Get up! They're coming!

They're coming.

Shoot!

- Who's crying this time? - Thomas.

What is it, Thomas? What's wrong with him, Soulis?

He's crying for mother.

- Give him to me. - Let me tell them a few words.

Listen Soulis and Thomas...

You're still too young and might not understand what I'll say...

but you must put it in your head that your mother is gone.

She died and we buried her.

She was kind and God wanted her by His side.

Now we sold the land and we're going to grandfather's land...

to Laga with the waters. And we'll forget about her.

Put the money down and go.

The gendarmes will be after you.

We all risked our lives to get this money.

You'll get your share when I'm better.

I'll meet you in Vlachokalives.

You're loosing blood. You'll be dead before you know it.

If I die, you'll never find out where I hid the money.

So see that I live... Leave!

Where are you going?

There's a river around here, I'll go fill the water-bags.

Drop your weapon!

I told you to drop your weapon!

Your hands!

- Where's the money? - What money?

- Where did you hide the money? - You have the wrong person.

- You killed someone, it smells. - It's not mine.

- The horse? - That either.

Are you crazy? I'm not the one you're looking for.

I have no idea!

Get out, that's enough.

What's up?

They're bringing him.

Wait...

Have some water.

My hand are tied.

Thank you.

- What are you doing here? - I went for water.

Go home. I don't want you to see.

Do as you're told!

You take the horses.

Get in line! Move it!

Men!

Attention!

Verdict: 116 of the 5th of March.

The Criminal Court of Tripolis convicts to death...

Efstathion Karatasos, son of Haralambos...

for armed robbery and murder.

Murder is an especially hideous crime.

- Do you have anything to say? - I'm innocent.

That concerns the court that convicted you.

Anything else?

Do what you have to do as fast as you can.

Before anything happens I want you to hear this man out.

I am Manolis Moshoutis, brother of the man you murdered and robbed.

- I didn't kill or rob anyone. - You can't bring him back.

Tell me where you hid the money. You won't be needing it.

Get out of my sight! All this time I'm telling you I'm innocent.

I killed no one, I'm not a robber. I don't know where your money is.

Leave me alone and let's get this over with.

Men! Attention!

Prepare to shoot!

Aim!

Stop!

You shouldn't have come.

Pigi, take the children and leave.

From now on you'll be both a mother and a father to them.

Make them good men. Go now.

Do as I tell you.

Shall we get this over with?

Men! Attention!

Prepare to shoot!

Aim!

- Stop! - What is it, Manolis?

- What is it? - An order to delay the execution.

Why didn't you say so? Did we have to go through all these?

I thought that he might talk in front of the guns.

- You were wrong to do so. - I did what I had to do.

He butchered my brother and has hidden my whole fortune!

You think he's scared?

You leave.

Men! Dismissed!

- Just a moment... - What is it, Tsakos?

Nothing... Three months now I couldn't get a word out of him.

Too bad... I was preparing a commutation of your sentence.

- Three whole years... - Is it my fault he's not talking?

I was nice to him, I let him smoke, I acted like a friend...

What else did you want me to do?

Wait!

You gave me your word. You have to get me out.

Two years now I do as you tell me. I chased after robbers...

I guided the gendarmes night and day...

I told you all I heard in the cells! I became a snitch!

A while ago I dug that hole!

You're Stathis Karatasos?

We came here for you. We want to talk.

Who are you?

My name is Tsamis. I'm a robber from the day I was born.

The slim one is Thanassis Tsoskas...

he likes blood.

This is Stamos Tsaros.

He insulted a squire and got his tongue cut.

Then he cornered his wife in a stable and left for the mountains.

The little one is Raiko Veles, he's a robber...

but he's too sensitive and can't live on the mountains.

- You said you wanted to talk. - Listen, pal...

we're friends of the robber you killed to steal his money.

- I killed no robber. - Come on now...

He was an animal and you were right to kill him.

Tell us where you hid the money and we'll let you go.

We'll give you a share. This way you'll escape prison too.

I know nothing about the money. I swear.

Don't swear, if you say so I believe you.

Talk! Where's the money?

- Talk! - The gendarmes!

- What are you waiting for? - If he's dead, we loose the money.

You want it all for yourself and it will do you no good.

I hear you have a beautiful down in Laga.

You want her to pay for it?

Listen to me, you animal! You all listen to me!

I have no idea!

Even if it were true, my sister has nothing to do with this.

She's still a child.

If you touch a hair of her head, nothing will be able to hold me!

- Did you hear me? - We heard you...

Very soon you'll hear news from us too.

And then you'll talk, whether you like it or not.

- Eat. - I'm not hungry.

- You have something against me? - Leave me alone, Tsakos.

It's a pity... For you...

You know what I'd do if I were in your shoes?

I'd give half the money to lawyers to save my head.

You're wasting your time, I have not hidden any money.

But if I had, I wouldn't say it to you.

Why?

You can smell a corpse from a mile... You can't be trusted.

- You'd sell out your own mother. - Stop it.

- Hear me out! - Shut up!

You're a snitch and an undertaker of your fellow-prisoners!

Open!

Break it up!

Break it up, you dogs!

Whoever does this again, I'll cut his legs off!

You go with the guard.

- I'm not going. - Who asked you?

Move!

Upstairs.

Who is it?

My boss told me you need him for a chore.

I heard you were a carpenter before they brought you here.

What do you want?

A board in the roof is broke.

The warden said to fix it.

Like this?

- Take them off. - The sergeant has the keys.

Go bring them, I'll guard him.

Go, I said...

- Sit. - That's alright.

- Married? - My wife died.

- What are you in here? - I'm marrying the warden.

- He said you're only his maid. - Did he tell it to you?

He tells everyone. Has he promised to marry you?

- How many years ago? - Enough.

You're a beautiful woman and you'll go to waste.

- You have a kind heart. - How do you know?

Three months now you show me compassion.

On the way to my execution you gave me water to drink.

You were there by chance?

Tell me...

did that board really break?

They told me you were a carpenter and I got a ladder...

Forgive me, I couldn't do otherwise.

Stop or I'll shoot!

Karatasos escaped.

I swore to bring him back dead or alive.

I send people to his village to wait for him.

The sergeant will go alone in the mountains to look for him.

But the sergeant is not from here, he doesn't know our land.

I want one of you to go with him who knows the land well...

and can follow tracks.

Is there anyone who does?

- Can I ask something? - Speak...

I was born in the mountains and I know of tracks.

- What will I gain? - You'll be released.

You've said that again when I trapped the robbers for you.

The robbers got away and we never found the money.

- See that you don't escape. - No need to worry about that.

If I escape now I'll never find any peace.

I want to get it over with the authorities once and for all.

Will you go or not?

Karatasos is as strong as a bull and as quick as an eagle.

The sooner we get started the better.

- Do you see something? - Don't rush.

You're mother kept you inside her for nine months.

I bet he's going to Aspra Homata.
