but it's a small price to pay compared to

what would have happened to her.

Lonesome will be with you

for a long time.

So, in a sense I saved her...

-What do you do?

-I'm a director.

I mean, I work for a production agency,

mainly advertising.

Do you think that someone from your work

or your environment has reason to...

No.

-Are you married?

-No.

-You live alone?

-Yes.

-Security systems? Alarm?

-No, none of that.

-Your mistake...

-What's my mistake?

I was in my house at 11 o'clock at night.

What exactly was my mistake?

-Security systems? Alarm?

-No, none of that.

-Your mistake...

-I took the dog out for a walk,

we had an accident and then had to rush

to the vet. That's why I wasn't here.

That saved you... You should thank God

they didn't find you inside.

This is a vicious gang. They have broken

into five houses this month alone.

Times have changed...

You are lucky to be alive.

Try to put this whole thing behind you

as an unfortunate event.

You happened to be in the wrong place

the wrong time.

-Good morning. Can I speak with Christina?

-This is she.

-Hi. It's Demetris.

-Hi Demetris.

-Hi.

-Tell me.

Well, I called to tell you...

I mean I called to thank you.

Not just for helping me with Lonesome...

who by the way is doing much better...

Listen, hold on, listen...

Speak!

-She's much better.

-That's good.

Yes it is. But even better, because of you

I was saved from a dangerous situation.

That's why I called to thank you.

The night we rushed Lonesome to the vet,

they broke into my house. I came back

to find my house all messed up.

And now, two days later, I feel

a little better and called to thank you

because if we hadn't met,

I could have died.

I see.

Criminals broke in my house.

They robbed me.

-Yes.

-What do you mean "yes"?

-I was fired...

-Excuse me?

An hour ago I was fired and

I can't follow a word you say,

not that I care, to tell you the truth,

because an hour ago I was told

that starting tomorrow I will be

unemployed... Which means what?

It means that I have to leave

my apartment, find a new job,

and we all know how hard that is,

cut all expenses and borrow money.

This situation makes me doubt myself

and feel inadequate and absolutely

unnecessary and helpless.

Do you understand how hard it is for me

to talk to you right now?

And surely, it's something that

we're all used to nowadays,

I am not the first, nor the last to lose

her job in Greece these days.

But I'm very good at what I do.

I am really good.

And I find it unfair that I'm deprived of

the right to do what I'm good at.

I'm an architect. Do you know how difficult

it is to do your job in this country?
