Highway to Hellas Page #2

Synopsis: The Germans are coming. To snoop, pry and inspect once again, because the Greek are always under suspicion to lie, cheat and scam. And rightfully so. Jörg Geissner, an employee of the Munich based AVO-Bank arrives on the island of Paladiki, to check on the registered securities of a credit granted years ago by his bank. His suspicion: the registered securities - a hospital and a power generating plant - don't really exist. But the Greeks aren't stupid - they will make Geissner prove that the securities don't exist. And so a completely overwhelmed Geissner embarks on an unexpected Odyssey all by himself, against the rest of the island. His constant companion being the shrewd German-Greek gigolo Panos, who will see to it that Geissner's search for the power-plant will get him nowhere. In the meantime Paladiki's Mayor Spyros will desperately try to conjure something up, which would maybe look like a power plant, at least at night and with the help of a few drink and then some more drinks.

as a whole.

Please, my friend.

I know, you Germans

have a very different mentality.

As a Greek,

I would say you are snooping around,

- I'd say you don't trust us.

- No,no.

In that regard, you're just...

different.

I accept that.

It would be best if you yourself

look for what you need.

Unfortunately, due to budget cuts,

I had to fire my secretary.

But that would take me months!

Yes, you'll like it here with us.

In that case,

I'll inspect the buildings straight away,

to get a personal impression

on the ground.

I wanted to look at the beach anyway.

Of course, be my guest.

You can walk to the beach,

just walk along the harbour...

And how do I get to the power plant

and the hospital?

Car rental and maps

can be found at the Mini Market.

But they only rent cars until 4:00 pm.

You won't make it today.

Enjoy Paladiki, Herr Kommissar.

Dr Laichinger. Mailbox.

Leave a message.

Dr Laichinger, this is Geissner.

I don't think I'll find a hospital

or a power plant here.

Thank God there's a beach, at least.

Our investor will like it.

Big enough for the hotel

and the water sports facilities.

It needs some cosmetic surgery,

but with a little fresh sand,

and a palm or two, it'll be great.

The town's harbour is ideal

for restaurants and a shopping strip,

although there might be...

some resistance

from the population,

because of the project

"Galapagos in Greece"...

Oh God!

What happened?

I don't believe it.

There... look!

I don't believe it.

Don't you trip me up! Got it?

Got it, you stupid thing?

Where does it come from?

Where? Where?

I don't speak Greek.

You're cute...

You don't understand a word,

and don't speak a word.

Thank you.

Jrg. Jrg Geissner.

Sh*t!

Sorry, Mrs Laichinger?

That was an accident, but...

I'm doing fine.

I'll call again later.

What Paladiki also has

is an undersea power cable.

15 centimetres thick,

it runs 260 kilometres

across the seabed to the mainland,

supplying us with electricity.

That's the good news.

The bad news is:

An undersea cable

is not an electric power plant.

Which has never been

a problem until now.

That's why we need a power plant!

Bye, you nutcase.

And keep the whiskers.

- The what?

- Your beard. Keep it.

Okay.

- Can you turn the sign around?

- This here?

Hi there!

Good morning.

Morning.

- Didn't I see you at Mr Kante...

- Kantelirakis.

- Right. Didn't I see you there?

-It's possible.

Yes, I'm quite sure of it.

Anyway, I'd like to rent a car.

I don't rent out cars anymore.

I'm sorry.

But I have a good alternative.

This is where we are.

And that's where you have to go.

You're kidding, right?

You'll love it.

I'm not going to ride around
