Goodwin Island (2024) Movie Script

[hip-hop music begins]
[hip-hop music ends]
- Welcome to Goodwin Island.
- Is that what you call it now?
I really had forgotten
quite how far it was.
- Can I take your backpack?
- No, thanks.
- Lia.
- Daniel.
- Welcome.
- Thanks.
This way.
[Daniel] -Sorry, we have no cars on the island.
[Lia] -Appropriate, I suppose.
[Daniel] -But I hadn't realised.
[Lia] -Really, it's not a problem.
[Daniel] -It's about an hour's walk.
[Lia] -It's fine. I'm pregnant. I'm not ill.
[Daniel] No, of course not.
- She'll be out soon.
- What are we going to do?
- What do you mean?
- Well, we haven't done anything.
- Of course we have.
- Shh... not too loud.
She's going to see that
we've been here for months...
and we haven't done anything.
- We've cleared a lot of rubbish.
- It was a right tip when we arrived.
But according to the plans
that we agreed, we're well behind.
We'll just have to explain.
She'll understand.
She seems really strict.
Like, officious.
What if she tells Mr Goodwin to fire us?
And then we'll have no job
and no place to stay.
Oh, shut up, Rosie! Nothing
like that is going to happen.
Rosie is right. We have
been faffing around.
Yeah, Kai! What have
we been doing?
Don't worry.
She is just a pen pusher.
She will tick a few boxes
and then she'll be gone.
She won't care so long as
we have done some...
Perhaps you could give me a little tour
and go through what has been done.
Sure. No problem.
Mr Goodwin is very concerned
about the lack of progress.
But Mr Goodwin has never been here.
We've never met him. How would he know?
Mr Goodwin knows everything.
Now. Where do you want to begin?
Shall we begin in the garden and
then we can go inside the house?
Sounds good.
I see from the plans
that Mr Goodwin wanted
this clearing over there.
So to create a pond.
Yes! Well...
I'm afraid it hasn't quite
worked out that way,
because of a delay in clearing the area
where the flowerbeds are going.
So we thought we best
just stay there and...
- Flowerbeds?
- Yeah.
[Lia] Flowerbeds. Flowerbeds.
That was phase three in the garden.
He distinctly wanted the pond.
Yeah.
Well, I'm afraid it hasn't
quite worked out that way.
He is expecting paying
guests by next spring.
You do realise that, don't you?
Of course! Of course we do!
And you are also meant
to have started...
...working on cleaning up
the swimming pool.
We haven't actually
got round to that one yet.
Do you want us to do anything special
with the statue of the Greek goddess?
She's not a Greek goddess.
Oh?
- She's Mary.
- Oh?
Jesus's mother.
Is it?
And Jesus, of course.
Of course.
Mr Goodwin is particularly
fond of this statue.
It means a lot to him.
Do you want to sit down?
No, no, thanks.
I'm fine.
What have you managed
to do inside the house?
Well...
We have made some progress.
I'm ready to get going with this now.
[shutters being opened]
But you haven't even started plastering yet.
[Daniel] I was originally goin
to use cement plaster,
but then I thought, since that
we're using heritage paints,
I should use lime plaster.
This was meant to have completed
three months ago.
Was it?
[shutters being opened]
I hope you are taking good
care of all of his stuff.
Oh! Absolutely.
Don't worry.
When guests come to stay here,
he'll want them to be steeped in history.
But it's all old colonial stuff.
Unlike you British, Greece
hasn't colonised anyone
since Alexander the Great.
350 years before Christ.
[Kai] Well, you know what I mean.
Won't he want more modern stuff
that reflects how people live now?
It's not for me to say.
It's a kind of elitist history, isn't it?
And what have you achieved,
Kai, that's any better?
Okay. What about the other rooms?
Well, we haven't done any work
on the study or the master bedroom yet.
- Show me anyway.
- Okay.
Give me a moment.
[Lia] What made you leave Manchester...
and join with your sister
on a remote Greek island?
Well, it was a good opportunity.
Do you miss your dad?
Still angry that he was
taken away from you?
And so suddenly.
Young man.
No work.
Staying home in a messy room.
Getting depressed.
Happy to be diagnosed as depressed.
Waiting endlessly for the
psychological assessment.
How do you know all this?
The world is full of shitty people.
There are too many anyway.
Too many capitalist bastards.
Lying politicians.
Nothing makes any sense.
And life is just a pointless
illusion, isn't it, Daniel?
Too much pain.
Too much suffering.
It's all meaningless anyway.
You know...
Fuck them!
Fuck them all!
[Lia] This is how the light gets in.
What?
[Lia] Through the cracks in your life.
- [Kai] That's the old chapel.
- Yeah, but look.
Oh my God!
What's she doing?
Look, Kai.
- What the fuck?
- She's praying.
- She's on her fucking knees.
- I know. She was praying.
So we have to answer
some religious freak.
Come on, Kai.
Each to their own.
Yeah.
This whole thing is freaking me out.
Here!
Bluetooth me that photo.
I've got to put that up on our site.
Be careful that Lia and
Mr Goodwin don't see it.
It's okay. You can't see her face.
In any case, this whole
thing's fucking weird.
Come on, Rosie! Let's go to the beach
and check our messages.
I can't believe we're jumping to
the tune of a fucking nun.
She's not a nun.
[Kai] Of course you can't be.
Ha, ha, ha...
[Kai] Oh! Fucking hell!
[Rosie] We're back!
Dan?
What's this, Dan?
Sleeping on the job?
Riveting stuff, is it?
You were quick.
- We've been gone nearly four hours.
- What?
Are you reading Greek now?
No. Some of the books are in English.
I don't know how you can read
a stuffy old book like that.
[Daniel] Actually, it was quite interesting.
Huh! English or not, it's all Greek to me.
Look at all this junk.
I can't believe we're supporting this.
- We're not supporting it.
- We fucking are.
I mean, we're restoring this
back to its former glory, aren't we?
But we're here for a job.
For the money, right?
Isn't it fucking weird?
I bet you this Mr Goodwin
doesn't even exist.
Of course he exists.
Well, how come we haven't met him yet?
And this Lia woman hasn't even met him.
He probably lives in London
or New York or something.
Fuck!
Look at all this stuff.
It's junk!
What are we doing here?
We're here for the money, remember?
I bet you...
...if we did nothing,
our pay would just keep going
into our accounts.
[Daniel] But we're here.
Why do nothing?
[playing out of tune piano]
But don't you see?
We're helping to perpetuate
this fascist colonialism.
Well, I think some of these people
were communist freedom fighters,
fighting fascism.
Fascists.
Communists.
They are all the same
as far as I'm concerned.
And as for this Mr Goodwin...
Well, he's just a downright colonialist.
I mean, what's he doing
on a private Greek island?
He doesn't even live here.
I bet he's one big, fat,
rich bastard of a cat.
For Christ's sake, Kai.
Let's go and get some food.
I'm hungry.
Think about it, Dan!
Why don't we just rethink everything
and do it our way?
Our way?
Yeah! Like...
...make it sort of more...
...contemporary.
- You mean, get rid of everything?
- Everything!
[Dan] That's not what Mr Goodwin wants.
[Kai] Fuck Mr Goodwin!
[crackling fire in incinerator drum]
- What are you doing?
- Shit!
Kai, what are you doing?
[sighs]
- What does it look like?
- Those are Mr Goodwin's books.
Who else would have
crap books like these?
You can't just dump them there like that.
- Why not?
- Why have you brought them here?
The Modern Seven Wonders of the World.
[Daniel] What are you doing?
Fuck!
It's in Greek.
Kai! Stop it.
Those are not our books, Kai.
Aesop's Fables.
What the hell is that?
What do you know about culture?
I know my Karl Marx.
What else do you need to know?
Ah! You are fucking crazy, Kai.
[Daniel] Do you want
to get us kicked off this job?
- The Holy Bible.
- [Rosie] What is the matter with you?
- Birds of West Africa.
- Don't do it.
So what, Daniel?
Are you a sympathiser?
What are you on about?
[Kai] You want to
protect that colonial bastard?
- Who?
- Mr Goodwin, of course.
Oh, for Christ's sake, Kai!
Of course not.
But we're here to do a job.
[sighs]
- Oh.
- Hey.
Hey.
Hey!
Bring on the socialist revolution.
Why do you always have to do this, Kai?
Are you a capitalist pig, Daniel?
[Kai] - Are you one of them?
[Rosie] -Stop it, Kai!
We could be doing something about it.
Right here and now.
Do what?
Take on this Mr Goodwin,
and make the world right!
Look!
There is no one around.
There's no one looking at us.
There is no one up there either.
We can create a new world...
...without all this baggage.
What do you say?
Why not, Dan?
Why not, Rosie?
[Daniel] What? They've kind
of invited themselves.
[Kai] They've come to help.
What will we do about money and stuff?
If they've come off their
own batsblike this,
then it's strictly voluntary.
We've got to send them
straight back when they arrive.
The extra hands might be quite useful.
Strictly voluntary, of course.
Where would they stay?
[small motor boat arriving]
[motor boat engine stops]
[people stepping off boat
into shallow water]
[people wading in shallow
water to shore]
[sighs]
Oh, man! Amazing.
This is so far from fucking everywhere.
What an amazing place.
It took us forever to get here.
- Where have you come from?
- Athens.
That is a long way away.
No cars.
Themis, can you believe it?
No fucking cars.
And there is no mobile signal either.
Except right here on this beach.
No shit.
- [Greek] Didn't I tell you it'd be great?
- [Greek] Yes, you did.
That's great.
Off the grid.
Off the fucking grid!
Well, then!
Where is this wonderful house
and this Garden of Eden?
This way.
[Loukas] When I first saw your
page with this project,
I just thought: "What an
amazing project!"
[Loukas] You guys have landed on your feet.
[Loukas] And no landlord?
[Kai] No, there is a landlord.
[Loukas] There is?
[Kai] But we've never seen him.
[Themis] What?
[Kai] We've never met him.
[Loukas] Some colonialist invader
from abroad
exploiting us Greeks again.
You are doing up the whole house?
One room at a time.
[in Greek] Perfect!
We're a bit behind, so a
helping hand would be great.
Kai and I are mainly working
outside for the time being.
It's a lot of heavy work out there.
Dan started work on the house itself.
I haven't decided yet
whether to use cement plaster
or lime plaster.
What is the difference?
Cement plaster is the easiest
and cheapest,
and lime plaster
is what they originally used.
It's more breathable.
Well, that's a no brainer, then.
Who cares what they used in the past?
[in Greek] Themis, look over here!
[in Greek] Hmm!
From another time!
So, this Mr Goodwin.
Is he Christian?
No idea.
He's really into the past.
Big time.
Look at this grand piano, Themis.
[in Greek] Loukas, look!
[playing of out of tune piano]
It's completely out of tune.
Yeah, but beautiful in its own way.
[in Greek] Loukas, take a look here.
[out of tune piano playing stops]
Look how well she hides
how uncomfortable she
must feel in this dress.
[in Greek] Yes!
[in Greek] Not like how I posed
to you in the nude, my love!
[both laughing]
Loukas used to be a painter.
Yeah, used to be.
How come you never painted me like that?
Don't I look innocent
and oppressed enough?
[in Greek] My love!
[kissing]
[in Greek] You know that I
could never see you like that.
I had to stop.
Painting is such a bourgeois art.
Don't you think?
[Loukas] Kai? Rosie?
[Loukas] Daniel? Where are you?
[Loukas] - Where did they go?
[Themis] - I don't know.
[Loukas] Kai? Where have
you guys got to?
Ah, there you are.
Look what I found.
Time to celebrate.
Where did you find that?
Neatly stashed away in the kitchen.
- It's not ours.
- I'm sure he won't mind.
It belongs to Mr Goodwin.
Fuck Mr Goodwin.
How can he possibly know
what's going on here?
It doesn't matter. It's his.
For Christ's sake!
You don't even know who he is,
or whether he even exists.
In any case, what's a bottle of whiskey?
There's a few beers in the
outhouse we could drink.
- I'll go and get those.
- I fancy a proper drink.
What about you, Kai?
- Why not?
- That's my man.
I should have brought my guitar.
I was thinking about it,
but I was in two minds,
as I wasn't sure what sort of
situation we would be in.
- But actually, I should have brought it.
- Are you going?
Yeah, Dan. What's
the matter with you?
Stay and have a drink.
I'm going for a walk.
I'll be back.
[waves breaking on a beach]
[eerie stillness]
So is it true what the others
are saying, that this...
What's her name?
- Lia.
- That's right.
This manager who came to see you.
That she said that
Mr Goodwin has no heirs?
Yeah.
And that she said she had
never seen this Mr Goodwin?
Yeah.
Well, by my reckoning,
that gives us more freedom
to do what we think it's right.
What do you mean?
This is our opportunity
to take over and...
challenge white male patriarchy
and decolonise the whole place.
That's right!
Time to reclaim the truth.
I haven't had any breakfast.
I'm starving.
We could rethink what this place
could be and modernise it.
Ehm...
The decor, the style, the furniture.
But also the garden design
and the grounds.
We have to think about
what's good for the environment.
Not just the garden,
but the whole island.
Think about it.
This is the perfect opportunity
to create a living environment
as it should be.
He is right.
When will we ever get a
chance like this again?
[Loukas] Look at the shitty
world out there, Dan.
[Loukas] Human beings are horrible.
[Loukas] Look at how we are destroying everything.
[Loukas] Greed and exploitation.
[Loukas] This is our chance to start
changing the world for the better.
Come to think of it.
We don't have any written contracts.
Lia said that Mr Goodwin will be
sending another inspector soon.
So?
So, we'll get fired
and shifted off the island.
What are they going to do?
I don't know.
Why do you think we can
just do this, just like that?
[in Greek] How can we say
'squatters rights' in English?
Eh, like when someone moves into
an empty house that isn't theirs.
- Squatters rights?
- That's right.
Squatters rights.
I reckon they can't chuck us off.
[distant hip-hop music]
[in Greek]
[Lukas] Break it!
[loud laughter]
[in Greek] [Loukas] Break it! Break it!
[in Greek]
[Loukas] Oh! Get the hammer from the inside.
[loud laughter continues]
[distant hip-hop music continues]
[Themis] Hey! Hey!
[Rosie] No, no, no...
[Rosie] No, no, no...
[hammer blow]
[Rosie] Don't do it.
[Rosie] No, no, no, wait!
[Loukas] Break it!
[loud laughter continues]
[Rosie] No, wait!
[hammer blow]
[Rosie] Wait, Themis! Please, don't!
[Rosie] Come on! Stop it!
[Themis] Yeah! It's finally down!
[loud laughter and cheering]
[hammer blow]
[Kai] Yeah!
[Themis] -Ah!
[Kai] -Yeah!
[loud laughter continues]
[Kai] Dan?
[Kai shouting] Dan!
[loud laughter continues]
[Kai] I can see you!
[laughter fades]
[Kai] I know you're not asleep.
[hip-hop music continues]
Come on out.
Come on, Dan, come and have a drink.
Where is Rosie?
She is feeling a bit tired.
[music continues]
Come on, Dan.
Come on, Kai!
You too, Dan!
I'm coming.
Come on, Dan.
I'll see you in there.
[laughter]
[distant hip-hop music fades and ends]
Welcome, Mr Cohen.
Ilias. Call me Ilias.
- Ilias. Hi, I'm Daniel.
- I know.
Excuse me while I just
pick up some provisions.
It's okay.
- Welcome to Goodwin Island.
- It's so good to be back.
- You've been here before?
- Many times.
- With Mr Goodwin?
- No. Never with Mr Goodwin.
This is where Mr Goodwin's plans indicate
where the fig tree orchard will be going.
We've got the saplings,
but we haven't planted them yet.
We're hoping to get
round to that very soon.
They'll be randomly scattered,
perhaps two metres apart.
As you can see, we haven't started,
but we're nearly ready.
You'll see we haven't started clearing
the swimming pool just yet.
We thought we ought to prioritise
the fig tree orchard.
In any case, the soil
is very dry and hard.
Best to wait for a bit more rain first.
And once Daniel's finished in the house,
he can come and help us
a little more out here.
[Kai sighs]
What happened to the
Virgin Mary and child?
What?
The statue of Virgin Mary
and child. Where is it?
Oh... Ehm...
[Themis] Actually, we removed it.
[Ilias] Removed it?
Yes, we removed it.
It's just temporary
while we fix the swimming pool.
Why didn't you tell him the truth?
- The truth?
- Yeah.
Remember?
We had a...
What shall we call it?
A discussion about it.
That statue is an affront to women.
I mean, come on.
A virgin giving birth?
This is the female body
being glorified by men
and doesn't do anything
for women's rights to be dignified.
- Themis! Stop it.
- Stop it?
Why, Rosie? Don't you want
to stand up for your own kind?
You know just as well as I do
that that statue was
an idealised male fantasy.
Stop it, Themis!
Stop it!
This isn't what Ilias wants to hear about.
Why not?
You want to hear the truth, don't you?
So the truth is that
we live in the 21st century,
and statues like that don't belong.
Don't you think?
[in Greek] Where is it?
[in Greek] Broken in small pieces.
We have the pieces, it can be fixed.
Fixed? What's the matter with you?
- It's not our property.
- What do you mean, Rosie?
We don't own our own bodies,
our own representations?
What's that got to do with anything?
The fact is that this is Mr Goodwin's.
Fuck Mr Goodwin and his patriarchy!
[Ilias] Stop it!
Stop it!
Just follow me.
So...
These are the plans that Mr Goodwin
has laid out very carefully,
and he fully expects them
to be carried out.
Now,
you've seen exactly how Mr Goodwin
wants the house refurbished.
You've seen the plans
for the walled garden,
and the outer grounds.
You've seen the priority lists.
And you know exactly
how Mr Goodwin would
like the plan to be executed.
Now.
It seems to me that you are in breach
of all the arrangements,
and well behind the agreed schedule.
So I'm insisting.
An extra effort is put
into recovering the schedule,
and returning to execute the plan
exactly as agreed with Mr Goodwin.
Actually, Ilias,
how do we know this
Mr Goodwin actually exists?
I mean... have any of you actually seen
or even spoken with
this Mr Elusive Goodwin?
Don't you 'Ilias' me, young man.
It's Mr Cohen to you.
Well, Mr Cohen.
What's to stop us
just taking over this project?
[in Greek] How dare you?
Fuck this Mr Goodwin!
It's okay.
It's okay.
I think what Loukas means
is that it's difficult to be motivated
and understand what to do when
we've never actually met Mr Goodwin.
Fuck you, Kai!
You know that's not what I mean.
Wake up!
We've talked about that.
What right does this Mr Goodwin
have to this house,
to this island?
We are the ones living here!
We are the ones building up this place!
How do we know
this guy is telling the truth?
He could be a delusional impostor.
I say 'Fuck Mr Goodwin'.
Loukas.
[in Greek] Watch your tongue, young man.
[in Greek] Don't 'young man' me!
I think you should ask them to leave.
[Themis] Who is going to make us leave?
[Loukas] Yeah!
Who's going to do anything about it?
If you don't fix this real quickly...
...I suspect...
...it's not going to end well.
[Daniel] I'm sorry about that.
I'm sure it'll be all right.
- I want you to take me to the chapel.
- What?
I'll spend the night at the chapel.
You can't stay there.
It's abandoned.
Doesn't matter.
I'll spend the night there
before catching the morning boat.
But...
Are you sure about this?
There's nothing there,
and it'll be freezing.
I know. I'm going to be all right.
You see. There is enough for me to manage.
[Ilias] It'll do me just fine.
It's kind of you to
bring those things for me.
Why don't you put them there for me?
Please don't mind the others.
It's fine for you to stay in the outhouse.
You're not like the others,
are you, Daniel?
How do you mean?
This thing...
This thing that's calling you.
It's real.
Oh...
I can still feel Mr Goodwin's
spirit in here.
[Ilias] I don't think he'll
ever stop loving the place.
It's okay.
You can leave me now.
- But...
- It's okay. You can go.
[Ilias] It's okay. You go now.
But is there anything else that you need?
I just need you to be strong, Daniel.
It's okay.
You go now.
I'll go down to the pier
and raise the flag.
The fishing boat will come by
at about nine in the morning.
- Do you want me to come and pick you up?
- No.
I'll be okay.
Thank you.
You go now, please, Daniel.
[background hip-hop music]
[Kai] Hey, Dan. Have a drink.
What a weirdo, eh?
Is he really going to sleep
in the chapel?
Go on, Dan.
Have a drink.
No, thanks.
- [Kai] We need to celebrate.
- Celebrate what?
Our victory!
Victory?
[Loukas] I think the bastard got the message.
Message?
Oh, come on, Dan.
Wake up!
We've just been had.
They've been stringing us
along like puppets.
Where is he?
[Kai] Oh, shut up, Rosie.
- Who cares where he is?
- Like puppets on a string.
I have a plan, comrades!
- Comrades?
- Comrades!
What's the matter, Dan?
We're going to be evicted
if we're not careful.
Ah, no! This is where my plan comes in.
The man has a plan.
The man has always got a plan.
Seriously. Listen.
I have a plan.
Go on then.
- We claim squatter's rights.
- What?
[in Greek] Perfect, my love! Awesome!
Yeah.
If we were to send a message
to this Ilias bloke.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, if we were to make sure
that this Ilias bloke understood
that we are taking over this place.
Like squatters.
- Like squatters.
- Yeah.
But why?
We could build a commune
and get more people to come here.
Like an eco village.
No capitalism here.
No war.
No climate disaster.
Just freedom!
[laughter]
What are they going to do about it?
This is an abandoned island.
No one cares.
If there were a lot of us,
do you think this Mr Goodwin
is going to come and chuck us off?
What are you on about, Loukas?
[Loukas] But Dan, we can do
whatever the fuck we want.
We have an agreement with Mr Goodwin
to prepare this house and its grounds
as a spiritual retreat.
Spiritual retreat.
Fuck my ass!
[laughter]
Come on, Kai.
Come on, Rosie.
I reckon we should go
and let this Ilias guy know
what our plans are.
Perhaps he could be persuaded.
What do you think, Kai?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
[Loukas] We are going to have
to think of a new name.
[Loukas] We can't set up a new order
and still call it Goodwin Island.
Can we?
[all laughing]
[Kai] Goodwin Island!
[laughter fades and stops]
[hurried footsteps]
They've gone to the chapel.
- What? Who?
- Loukas and Kai.
What do you mean,
they've gone to the chapel?
They've gone to the chapel.
I don't know what they're going to do.
Why is all this happening?
This is supposed to be a dream for us.
And now I don't know what is happening.
You know, one minute
we've got this dream job and then...
...the next we're...
And... and after the nightmare
of losing dad and then losing...
Dan?
Dan?
Dan, where are you going?
Dan!
Dan!
[receding footsteps]
[violent fist blows and scuffles]
[Ilias] What are you doing? Leave me alone!
[Loukas] You think you are
going to get away with this?
[Ilias] Oh! Ah!
[Ilias] What are you on about? Oh! Ah!
[Kai] -Where do you think you're going?
[Ilias] -Aw!
[Ilias] Aw!
[Ilias] Aw! Oh!
What are you doing?
[Kai] -What are you doing here?
[Loukas] -Get the hell out of here!
What are you doing?
What the hell are you guys doing?
[Kai] You shouldn't be here.
[Loukas] We are just making sure
he gets his story straight.
What's the matter with you, Kai?
Is this you?
You didn't need to know about this.
What?
We've got to finish this off, Dan.
You shouldn't be here.
Stop it, man.
You can't do this.
[Loukas] He is just going to give
it away now, isn't he?
You're crazy.
Stop it.
Kai.
[Kai] He's right.
What are you guys playing at?
I can't believe this.
Oh!
[Ilias] Ah! Oh! Oh!
You are letting the team down.
What team?
You're in on this too, Dan.
Damn right, I am.
Go on home.
Go on. Go on home.
You're betraying us, Dan.
Who's doing the betraying, Kai?
You are going to regret this, Dan.
[footsteps receding]
Aw!
I'm very sorry.
It's highly likely that Mr Goodwin
is going to send someone
else very quickly.
Given the situation,
he may see fit to send his son.
- But Lia said there were no heirs.
- [Ilias] Did she?
Well, he has a son.
Oh.
I'm sure he'll want to send his son
to bring back the project on track.
He will have more authority than me.
It will be quite a change.
[feet wading in water]
[boat engine starts and sets off]
[Loukas] To begin with, we could
probably house up to twenty people.
[Loukas] Some in the house,
some in the outhouse.
[Loukas] If we got rid of all that junk in there.
[Loukas] And of course, pitching tents.
[Kai] We could clear the land outside the wall,
[Kai] -and then there would be room for more.
[Loukas] -Exactly.
[Loukas] But one step at a time.
[Loukas] I could see us
having a great community here.
[Loukas] We could really set the
example for ecological living.
[Loukas] Carbon neutral. No pollution.
[Loukas] No bankers or big corporations.
[Loukas] No police.
[Loukas] Just eco friendly.
[Loukas] People could, like, give up
their jobs in the city and then...
[Kai] Hey, Dan.
You look like a ghost.
What's happened?
Just got back from the pier.
I hope you did your bit to persuade him.
I think he's got your message okay.
Then everything's going to be fine.
He has a son.
Who has a son?
[Daniel] Mr Goodwin.
Ha!
Makes no fucking difference.
Kai!
Makes no difference to our plans.
Even if we do have a traitor in our midst.
Huh!
What's going on, Kai?
[Daniel] I think what we're doing is wrong.
[Loukas] Fuck you, Dan!
[Loukas] This is about justice.
Social justice.
[Loukas] Cosmic justice.
Kai?
[hip-hop music begins]
I know you.
We've met. I'm sure of it.
No, I don't think so.
Themis, you've seen Rosie
before, haven't you?
- No, not sure.
- Sure you have.
You went on tour in Greece
once, didn't you?
Music?
No, not really.
[Themis] Oh, I know!
I know. 'Signature'.
You were in that band. 'Signature'.
I saw you in Thessaloniki.
Oh, yeah! 'Signature'.
Wow. You are the pop star.
Loukas, she is a star.
I knew I'd seen you before.
I fucking knew it.
Best fucking singer in the world.
[Loukas] I used to drool over you
when you were on that stage.
Fucking brilliant songs and...
...and your voice...
Your voice is beautiful.
Why the fuck are you here?
Let's have a song.
[Loukas] Yeah. Great idea.
How about one of your songs?
Ah. What's that one called?
Willow. Is that what it was called?
It's one of my favourites.
Hey, Rosie. What's up?
- She's a bit upset about all that stuff.
- Upset?
Come on, Rosie.
Sing us a song.
[hip-hop music continues]
[Themis] What's the matter with her?
- She hasn't sung for months.
- Why?
She lost a child.
Your child?
Aha.
[hip-hop music continues]
Hey, Rosie.
Hey, Loukas!
Leave her alone.
- What the fuck?
- Can't you see she's upset?
What's this?
Small brother protecting big sister?
- Are you okay?
- Fuck off!
[hip-hop music continues]
It's okay, Daniel.
[Rosie] I'm fine.
[hip-hop music ends]
[gentle breeze in trees above]
[breeze in trees gets stronger]
[rustle in undergrowth]
[stronger breeze in trees]
[breeze in trees sound like
human breathing]
Dad?
[roars]
[ominous music]
[Loukas] And the dragon...
[Loukas] gave the beast
his own power and throne,
[Loukas] and great authority.
[Loukas] I saw that one of
the heads of the beast...
[Loukas] seemed wounded beyond recovery.
[roars]
[Loukas] But the fatal wound was healed.
The whole world marveled
at this miracle,
and gave allegiance to the beast.
They worshipped the dragon
for giving the beast such power.
And they also worshiped the beast.
Who is as great as the beast
they exclaimed?
[Loukas] Who is able to fight against him?
[Loukas] The beast has arrived.
[Loukas] Behold! The beast has arrived.
[Kai] The beast has arrived.
[Themis] he beast has arrived.
Worship the beast.
The beast was arrived.
The beast arrived.
What are you doing? Stop!
Leave me alone.
[ominous music continues]
What's the matter with you guys?
You've got to stop this.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Fuck off.
Come on, Dan.
It's just a joke.
Come on, Dan.
It's just a bit of fun.
Dan! Come back!
Come on, Dan!
Dan!
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
[ominous music fades and stops]
Good morning, Daniel.
What the...
Who are you?
I'm Mr Goodwin Junior.
What?
I'm Mr Goodwin's son.
He sent me here.
[Daniel] But...
But how did you get here?
The fishing boat is not due yet.
I'm here.
[Goodwin Jr] You mustn't run away, Daniel.
[Goodwin Jr] Mr Goodwin wants you to stay.
To commit.
And to preserve.
Who are you?
I told you already.
I'm Mr Goodwin's son.
And I've come
to save Mr Goodwin's project.
- This way.
- I just want to look at something.
Where is everyone?
They're probably still asleep.
Perhaps you can wake them up?
Um...
I know some of you have been
sleeping in the house.
Wake them up and
I'll see you all in the kitchen.
What's this then?
Just sit.
It's okay.
You found a new member
for our collective.
No.
This is Mr Goodwin Junior.
Mr Goodwin's son.
Hi everyone.
Is this some kind of joke?
I don't think so.
There is no fucking way
this is Mr Goodwin's son.
Why not, Loukas?
Well, there is no Mr Goodwin.
It's all a conspiracy to control us.
That's right.
And in any case,
how did he get onto the island?
There is no fucking Mr Goodwin.
And even if there were,
there is no fucking way
that you are his son.
- Why not, Loukas?
- How could you possibly be his son?
Didn't Ilias tell you
someone else would come?
How did you get here?
The fishing boat isn't due until later.
We haven't seen you around
on the island before.
Where did you find this fucking teaser?
You are fucking with us.
Are you with us or against us?
I didn't do anything.
He just appeared.
What the fuck are you on about?
Have you lost the plot, Dan?
I've seen you before, Loukas.
I've seen how you corrupted Themis.
And now you're trying
to do the same here.
[in Greek] -What the hell does he say?
[in Greek] -I have no idea!
I've seen how you persuaded
her not to have children,
because there's too many people.
And how you cleverly played a feminist
and manipulated her into
becoming your partner in crime.
Fuck off! Who the hell do you think you are?
[in Greek] Loukas!
I told you.
I'm Mr Goodwin's son.
In fact, I'm his only son.
Even you, Loukas.
If you follow the instructions,
I can put in a good word
for you of my Dada.
And trust me,
I know he'll be forgiving.
Fuck you.
I don't know who you are,
but we want you the fuck out of here.
That goes for you, too.
If you follow my instructions,
we can fix this.
But only through me can we fix this.
Do you understand?
I am the only way we can fix this now.
Did you fucking hear what I said?
I don't think you understand
what I'm saying, Loukas.
- Oh, yeah, I understand...
- Shut up!
I see you're choosing
to reject my dad's generosity.
So let's make this clear, Loukas.
I'm instructing you and Themis
to leave this island...
on the next fishing boat
tomorrow morning.
You, Kai and Rosie,
have to make your decision...
on whether you are going to follow
Mr Goodwin's instructions.
Daniel will be staying.
If necessary, we'll build
a new team around him.
These are Mr Goodwin's instructions
and I expect them to be followed out.
Now, I'm going to go for
a walk on the beach.
[in Greek] How did he know
what you had told me?
[in Greek] How should I fucking know?
- How did he know all our names?
- He will have got those from Ilias.
There is no fucking way...
he is this so-called mystery
Mr Goodwin's son.
Yeah, but how does he know,
if he hasn't been in touch
with Lia or Ilias?
Pure chance?
But how did he get here?
Yeah, Dan.
How did he get here?
Come on, Kai.
Rosie.
It's true, isn't it?
Everything was fine.
Even if we were running late.
And then...
What are you implying, Dan?
So it's Loukas's and my fault
that things got fucked up?
That seems to be what he's saying.
No.
It's just, we were
commissioned to do a job,
and I don't think we should be turning
away from Mr Goodwin's wishes...
and undermining what he wants us to do.
Who are we to do that?
[Kai] But we all agreed some of the
things he wants to do aren't right.
[Themis] Sexist. Racist. Unjust.
[Loukas] Yeah, but we all know
that this Mr Goodwin does not exist.
[Daniel] Of course he exists.
You've met his son.
[Loukas] You see, Rosie.
Hm?
[Loukas] We've lost your brother
to the other side.
[Loukas] Rosie?
But what if he's right?
He doesn't fucking exist!
For Christ's sake. Look.
We beat up Ilias, so how
come the police didn't come?
What is this...
...this only some crap?
If this were a genuine thing,
the police would be here
arresting us for GBH.
Wake up folks!
Wake up!
[Loukas] I say, we squat on this island
until someone comes and kicks us off.
[Loukas] We make it like we want it to be.
A perfect eco island where
we show the world how to live.
[Daniel] -He wants you off the island.
[Loukas] -Fuck Junior! He's just an imposter.
Do you think...
...it would make any difference
if we took him out?
What?
[Loukas] Look at what has happened so far, Daniel.
[Loukas] What do you see?
I can't fucking believe this.
I can't believe
you're not saying anything.
I hope this is a nightmare,
and I'm going to wake up soon.
[Kai] You want to protect this
colonial bastard?
[Loukas] I say 'Fuck Mr Goodwin!'
[voices and laughter]
[Kai] -Are you a capitalist pig, Daniel?
[Loukas] -Squatters rights!
[Kai] There is no one up there either.
[Loukas] What's to stop us
just taking over this project?
[Kai] -The Holy Bible.
[Loukas] -You're going to regret this, Dan.
[Loukas] I have a plan, comrades.
We'll have to think of a new name.
[Loukas] We can't set up a new order
and still call it Goodwin Island.
[Loukas] Can we?
[voices and loud laughter]
[Loukas] Comrades!
[voices and laughter suddenly stops]
[hurried footsteps]
[receding footsteps]
[instrumental music with out of
tune piano theme]
[approaching hurried footsteps]
[approaching hurried footsteps]
[branch snaps]
[out of tune piano music theme ends]
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Why?
[hip-hop music begins]
[hip-hop music begins]
[hip-hop music ends]
- Welcome to Goodwin Island.
- Is that what you call it now?
I really had forgotten
quite how far it was.
- Can I take your backpack?
- No, thanks.
- Lia.
- Daniel.
- Welcome.
- Thanks.
This way.
[Daniel] -Sorry, we have no cars on the island.
[Lia] -Appropriate, I suppose.
[Daniel] -But I hadn't realised.
[Lia] -Really, it's not a problem.
[Daniel] -It's about an hour's walk.
[Lia] -It's fine. I'm pregnant. I'm not ill.
[Daniel] No, of course not.
- She'll be out soon.
- What are we going to do?
- What do you mean?
- Well, we haven't done anything.
- Of course we have.
- Shh... not too loud.
She's going to see that
we've been here for months...
and we haven't done anything.
- We've cleared a lot of rubbish.
- It was a right tip when we arrived.
But according to the plans
that we agreed, we're well behind.
We'll just have to explain.
She'll understand.
She seems really strict.
Like, officious.
What if she tells Mr Goodwin to fire us?
And then we'll have no job
and no place to stay.
Oh, shut up, Rosie! Nothing
like that is going to happen.
Rosie is right. We have
been faffing around.
Yeah, Kai! What have
we been doing?
Don't worry.
She is just a pen pusher.
She will tick a few boxes
and then she'll be gone.
She won't care so long as
we have done some...
Perhaps you could give me a little tour
and go through what has been done.
Sure. No problem.
Mr Goodwin is very concerned
about the lack of progress.
But Mr Goodwin has never been here.
We've never met him. How would he know?
Mr Goodwin knows everything.
Now. Where do you want to begin?
Shall we begin in the garden and
then we can go inside the house?
Sounds good.
I see from the plans
that Mr Goodwin wanted
this clearing over there.
So to create a pond.
Yes! Well...
I'm afraid it hasn't quite
worked out that way,
because of a delay in clearing the area
where the flowerbeds are going.
So we thought we best
just stay there and...
- Flowerbeds?
- Yeah.
[Lia] Flowerbeds. Flowerbeds.
That was phase three in the garden.
He distinctly wanted the pond.
Yeah.
Well, I'm afraid it hasn't
quite worked out that way.
He is expecting paying
guests by next spring.
You do realise that, don't you?
Of course! Of course we do!
And you are also meant
to have started...
...working on cleaning up
the swimming pool.
We haven't actually
got round to that one yet.
Do you want us to do anything special
with the statue of the Greek goddess?
She's not a Greek goddess.
Oh?
- She's Mary.
- Oh?
Jesus's mother.
Is it?
And Jesus, of course.
Of course.
Mr Goodwin is particularly
fond of this statue.
It means a lot to him.
Do you want to sit down?
No, no, thanks.
I'm fine.
What have you managed
to do inside the house?
Well...
We have made some progress.
I'm ready to get going with this now.
[shutters being opened]
But you haven't even started plastering yet.
[Daniel] I was originally goin
to use cement plaster,
but then I thought, since that
we're using heritage paints,
I should use lime plaster.
This was meant to have completed
three months ago.
Was it?
[shutters being opened]
I hope you are taking good
care of all of his stuff.
Oh! Absolutely.
Don't worry.
When guests come to stay here,
he'll want them to be steeped in history.
But it's all old colonial stuff.
Unlike you British, Greece
hasn't colonised anyone
since Alexander the Great.
350 years before Christ.
[Kai] Well, you know what I mean.
Won't he want more modern stuff
that reflects how people live now?
It's not for me to say.
It's a kind of elitist history, isn't it?
And what have you achieved,
Kai, that's any better?
Okay. What about the other rooms?
Well, we haven't done any work
on the study or the master bedroom yet.
- Show me anyway.
- Okay.
Give me a moment.
[Lia] What made you leave Manchester...
and join with your sister
on a remote Greek island?
Well, it was a good opportunity.
Do you miss your dad?
Still angry that he was
taken away from you?
And so suddenly.
Young man.
No work.
Staying home in a messy room.
Getting depressed.
Happy to be diagnosed as depressed.
Waiting endlessly for the
psychological assessment.
How do you know all this?
The world is full of shitty people.
There are too many anyway.
Too many capitalist bastards.
Lying politicians.
Nothing makes any sense.
And life is just a pointless
illusion, isn't it, Daniel?
Too much pain.
Too much suffering.
It's all meaningless anyway.
You know...
Fuck them!
Fuck them all!
[Lia] This is how the light gets in.
What?
[Lia] Through the cracks in your life.
- [Kai] That's the old chapel.
- Yeah, but look.
Oh my God!
What's she doing?
Look, Kai.
- What the fuck?
- She's praying.
- She's on her fucking knees.
- I know. She was praying.
So we have to answer
some religious freak.
Come on, Kai.
Each to their own.
Yeah.
This whole thing is freaking me out.
Here!
Bluetooth me that photo.
I've got to put that up on our site.
Be careful that Lia and
Mr Goodwin don't see it.
It's okay. You can't see her face.
In any case, this whole
thing's fucking weird.
Come on, Rosie! Let's go to the beach
and check our messages.
I can't believe we're jumping to
the tune of a fucking nun.
She's not a nun.
[Kai] Of course you can't be.
Ha, ha, ha...
[Kai] Oh! Fucking hell!
[Rosie] We're back!
Dan?
What's this, Dan?
Sleeping on the job?
Riveting stuff, is it?
You were quick.
- We've been gone nearly four hours.
- What?
Are you reading Greek now?
No. Some of the books are in English.
I don't know how you can read
a stuffy old book like that.
[Daniel] Actually, it was quite interesting.
Huh! English or not, it's all Greek to me.
Look at all this junk.
I can't believe we're supporting this.
- We're not supporting it.
- We fucking are.
I mean, we're restoring this
back to its former glory, aren't we?
But we're here for a job.
For the money, right?
Isn't it fucking weird?
I bet you this Mr Goodwin
doesn't even exist.
Of course he exists.
Well, how come we haven't met him yet?
And this Lia woman hasn't even met him.
He probably lives in London
or New York or something.
Fuck!
Look at all this stuff.
It's junk!
What are we doing here?
We're here for the money, remember?
I bet you...
...if we did nothing,
our pay would just keep going
into our accounts.
[Daniel] But we're here.
Why do nothing?
[playing out of tune piano]
But don't you see?
We're helping to perpetuate
this fascist colonialism.
Well, I think some of these people
were communist freedom fighters,
fighting fascism.
Fascists.
Communists.
They are all the same
as far as I'm concerned.
And as for this Mr Goodwin...
Well, he's just a downright colonialist.
I mean, what's he doing
on a private Greek island?
He doesn't even live here.
I bet he's one big, fat,
rich bastard of a cat.
For Christ's sake, Kai.
Let's go and get some food.
I'm hungry.
Think about it, Dan!
Why don't we just rethink everything
and do it our way?
Our way?
Yeah! Like...
...make it sort of more...
...contemporary.
- You mean, get rid of everything?
- Everything!
[Dan] That's not what Mr Goodwin wants.
[Kai] Fuck Mr Goodwin!
[crackling fire in incinerator drum]
- What are you doing?
- Shit!
Kai, what are you doing?
[sighs]
- What does it look like?
- Those are Mr Goodwin's books.
Who else would have
crap books like these?
You can't just dump them there like that.
- Why not?
- Why have you brought them here?
The Modern Seven Wonders of the World.
[Daniel] What are you doing?
Fuck!
It's in Greek.
Kai! Stop it.
Those are not our books, Kai.
Aesop's Fables.
What the hell is that?
What do you know about culture?
I know my Karl Marx.
What else do you need to know?
Ah! You are fucking crazy, Kai.
[Daniel] Do you want
to get us kicked off this job?
- The Holy Bible.
- [Rosie] What is the matter with you?
- Birds of West Africa.
- Don't do it.
So what, Daniel?
Are you a sympathiser?
What are you on about?
[Kai] You want to
protect that colonial bastard?
- Who?
- Mr Goodwin, of course.
Oh, for Christ's sake, Kai!
Of course not.
But we're here to do a job.
[sighs]
- Oh.
- Hey.
Hey.
Hey!
Bring on the socialist revolution.
Why do you always have to do this, Kai?
Are you a capitalist pig, Daniel?
[Kai] - Are you one of them?
[Rosie] -Stop it, Kai!
We could be doing something about it.
Right here and now.
Do what?
Take on this Mr Goodwin,
and make the world right!
Look!
There is no one around.
There's no one looking at us.
There is no one up there either.
We can create a new world...
...without all this baggage.
What do you say?
Why not, Dan?
Why not, Rosie?
[Daniel] What? They've kind
of invited themselves.
[Kai] They've come to help.
What will we do about money and stuff?
If they've come off their
own batsblike this,
then it's strictly voluntary.
We've got to send them
straight back when they arrive.
The extra hands might be quite useful.
Strictly voluntary, of course.
Where would they stay?
[small motor boat arriving]
[motor boat engine stops]
[people stepping off boat
into shallow water]
[people wading in shallow
water to shore]
[sighs]
Oh, man! Amazing.
This is so far from fucking everywhere.
What an amazing place.
It took us forever to get here.
- Where have you come from?
- Athens.
That is a long way away.
No cars.
Themis, can you believe it?
No fucking cars.
And there is no mobile signal either.
Except right here on this beach.
No shit.
- [Greek] Didn't I tell you it'd be great?
- [Greek] Yes, you did.
That's great.
Off the grid.
Off the fucking grid!
Well, then!
Where is this wonderful house
and this Garden of Eden?
This way.
[Loukas] When I first saw your
page with this project,
I just thought: "What an
amazing project!"
[Loukas] You guys have landed on your feet.
[Loukas] And no landlord?
[Kai] No, there is a landlord.
[Loukas] There is?
[Kai] But we've never seen him.
[Themis] What?
[Kai] We've never met him.
[Loukas] Some colonialist invader
from abroad
exploiting us Greeks again.
You are doing up the whole house?
One room at a time.
[in Greek] Perfect!
We're a bit behind, so a
helping hand would be great.
Kai and I are mainly working
outside for the time being.
It's a lot of heavy work out there.
Dan started work on the house itself.
I haven't decided yet
whether to use cement plaster
or lime plaster.
What is the difference?
Cement plaster is the easiest
and cheapest,
and lime plaster
is what they originally used.
It's more breathable.
Well, that's a no brainer, then.
Who cares what they used in the past?
[in Greek] Themis, look over here!
[in Greek] Hmm!
From another time!
So, this Mr Goodwin.
Is he Christian?
No idea.
He's really into the past.
Big time.
Look at this grand piano, Themis.
[in Greek] Loukas, look!
[playing of out of tune piano]
It's completely out of tune.
Yeah, but beautiful in its own way.
[in Greek] Loukas, take a look here.
[out of tune piano playing stops]
Look how well she hides
how uncomfortable she
must feel in this dress.
[in Greek] Yes!
[in Greek] Not like how I posed
to you in the nude, my love!
[both laughing]
Loukas used to be a painter.
Yeah, used to be.
How come you never painted me like that?
Don't I look innocent
and oppressed enough?
[in Greek] My love!
[kissing]
[in Greek] You know that I
could never see you like that.
I had to stop.
Painting is such a bourgeois art.
Don't you think?
[Loukas] Kai? Rosie?
[Loukas] Daniel? Where are you?
[Loukas] - Where did they go?
[Themis] - I don't know.
[Loukas] Kai? Where have
you guys got to?
Ah, there you are.
Look what I found.
Time to celebrate.
Where did you find that?
Neatly stashed away in the kitchen.
- It's not ours.
- I'm sure he won't mind.
It belongs to Mr Goodwin.
Fuck Mr Goodwin.
How can he possibly know
what's going on here?
It doesn't matter. It's his.
For Christ's sake!
You don't even know who he is,
or whether he even exists.
In any case, what's a bottle of whiskey?
There's a few beers in the
outhouse we could drink.
- I'll go and get those.
- I fancy a proper drink.
What about you, Kai?
- Why not?
- That's my man.
I should have brought my guitar.
I was thinking about it,
but I was in two minds,
as I wasn't sure what sort of
situation we would be in.
- But actually, I should have brought it.
- Are you going?
Yeah, Dan. What's
the matter with you?
Stay and have a drink.
I'm going for a walk.
I'll be back.
[waves breaking on a beach]
[eerie stillness]
So is it true what the others
are saying, that this...
What's her name?
- Lia.
- That's right.
This manager who came to see you.
That she said that
Mr Goodwin has no heirs?
Yeah.
And that she said she had
never seen this Mr Goodwin?
Yeah.
Well, by my reckoning,
that gives us more freedom
to do what we think it's right.
What do you mean?
This is our opportunity
to take over and...
challenge white male patriarchy
and decolonise the whole place.
That's right!
Time to reclaim the truth.
I haven't had any breakfast.
I'm starving.
We could rethink what this place
could be and modernise it.
Ehm...
The decor, the style, the furniture.
But also the garden design
and the grounds.
We have to think about
what's good for the environment.
Not just the garden,
but the whole island.
Think about it.
This is the perfect opportunity
to create a living environment
as it should be.
He is right.
When will we ever get a
chance like this again?
[Loukas] Look at the shitty
world out there, Dan.
[Loukas] Human beings are horrible.
[Loukas] Look at how we are destroying everything.
[Loukas] Greed and exploitation.
[Loukas] This is our chance to start
changing the world for the better.
Come to think of it.
We don't have any written contracts.
Lia said that Mr Goodwin will be
sending another inspector soon.
So?
So, we'll get fired
and shifted off the island.
What are they going to do?
I don't know.
Why do you think we can
just do this, just like that?
[in Greek] How can we say
'squatters rights' in English?
Eh, like when someone moves into
an empty house that isn't theirs.
- Squatters rights?
- That's right.
Squatters rights.
I reckon they can't chuck us off.
[distant hip-hop music]
[in Greek]
[Lukas] Break it!
[loud laughter]
[in Greek] [Loukas] Break it! Break it!
[in Greek]
[Loukas] Oh! Get the hammer from the inside.
[loud laughter continues]
[distant hip-hop music continues]
[Themis] Hey! Hey!
[Rosie] No, no, no...
[Rosie] No, no, no...
[hammer blow]
[Rosie] Don't do it.
[Rosie] No, no, no, wait!
[Loukas] Break it!
[loud laughter continues]
[Rosie] No, wait!
[hammer blow]
[Rosie] Wait, Themis! Please, don't!
[Rosie] Come on! Stop it!
[Themis] Yeah! It's finally down!
[loud laughter and cheering]
[hammer blow]
[Kai] Yeah!
[Themis] -Ah!
[Kai] -Yeah!
[loud laughter continues]
[Kai] Dan?
[Kai shouting] Dan!
[loud laughter continues]
[Kai] I can see you!
[laughter fades]
[Kai] I know you're not asleep.
[hip-hop music continues]
Come on out.
Come on, Dan, come and have a drink.
Where is Rosie?
She is feeling a bit tired.
[music continues]
Come on, Dan.
Come on, Kai!
You too, Dan!
I'm coming.
Come on, Dan.
I'll see you in there.
[laughter]
[distant hip-hop music fades and ends]
Welcome, Mr Cohen.
Ilias. Call me Ilias.
- Ilias. Hi, I'm Daniel.
- I know.
Excuse me while I just
pick up some provisions.
It's okay.
- Welcome to Goodwin Island.
- It's so good to be back.
- You've been here before?
- Many times.
- With Mr Goodwin?
- No. Never with Mr Goodwin.
This is where Mr Goodwin's plans indicate
where the fig tree orchard will be going.
We've got the saplings,
but we haven't planted them yet.
We're hoping to get
round to that very soon.
They'll be randomly scattered,
perhaps two metres apart.
As you can see, we haven't started,
but we're nearly ready.
You'll see we haven't started clearing
the swimming pool just yet.
We thought we ought to prioritise
the fig tree orchard.
In any case, the soil
is very dry and hard.
Best to wait for a bit more rain first.
And once Daniel's finished in the house,
he can come and help us
a little more out here.
[Kai sighs]
What happened to the
Virgin Mary and child?
What?
The statue of Virgin Mary
and child. Where is it?
Oh... Ehm...
[Themis] Actually, we removed it.
[Ilias] Removed it?
Yes, we removed it.
It's just temporary
while we fix the swimming pool.
Why didn't you tell him the truth?
- The truth?
- Yeah.
Remember?
We had a...
What shall we call it?
A discussion about it.
That statue is an affront to women.
I mean, come on.
A virgin giving birth?
This is the female body
being glorified by men
and doesn't do anything
for women's rights to be dignified.
- Themis! Stop it.
- Stop it?
Why, Rosie? Don't you want
to stand up for your own kind?
You know just as well as I do
that that statue was
an idealised male fantasy.
Stop it, Themis!
Stop it!
This isn't what Ilias wants to hear about.
Why not?
You want to hear the truth, don't you?
So the truth is that
we live in the 21st century,
and statues like that don't belong.
Don't you think?
[in Greek] Where is it?
[in Greek] Broken in small pieces.
We have the pieces, it can be fixed.
Fixed? What's the matter with you?
- It's not our property.
- What do you mean, Rosie?
We don't own our own bodies,
our own representations?
What's that got to do with anything?
The fact is that this is Mr Goodwin's.
Fuck Mr Goodwin and his patriarchy!
[Ilias] Stop it!
Stop it!
Just follow me.
So...
These are the plans that Mr Goodwin
has laid out very carefully,
and he fully expects them
to be carried out.
Now,
you've seen exactly how Mr Goodwin
wants the house refurbished.
You've seen the plans
for the walled garden,
and the outer grounds.
You've seen the priority lists.
And you know exactly
how Mr Goodwin would
like the plan to be executed.
Now.
It seems to me that you are in breach
of all the arrangements,
and well behind the agreed schedule.
So I'm insisting.
An extra effort is put
into recovering the schedule,
and returning to execute the plan
exactly as agreed with Mr Goodwin.
Actually, Ilias,
how do we know this
Mr Goodwin actually exists?
I mean... have any of you actually seen
or even spoken with
this Mr Elusive Goodwin?
Don't you 'Ilias' me, young man.
It's Mr Cohen to you.
Well, Mr Cohen.
What's to stop us
just taking over this project?
[in Greek] How dare you?
Fuck this Mr Goodwin!
It's okay.
It's okay.
I think what Loukas means
is that it's difficult to be motivated
and understand what to do when
we've never actually met Mr Goodwin.
Fuck you, Kai!
You know that's not what I mean.
Wake up!
We've talked about that.
What right does this Mr Goodwin
have to this house,
to this island?
We are the ones living here!
We are the ones building up this place!
How do we know
this guy is telling the truth?
He could be a delusional impostor.
I say 'Fuck Mr Goodwin'.
Loukas.
[in Greek] Watch your tongue, young man.
[in Greek] Don't 'young man' me!
I think you should ask them to leave.
[Themis] Who is going to make us leave?
[Loukas] Yeah!
Who's going to do anything about it?
If you don't fix this real quickly...
...I suspect...
...it's not going to end well.
[Daniel] I'm sorry about that.
I'm sure it'll be all right.
- I want you to take me to the chapel.
- What?
I'll spend the night at the chapel.
You can't stay there.
It's abandoned.
Doesn't matter.
I'll spend the night there
before catching the morning boat.
But...
Are you sure about this?
There's nothing there,
and it'll be freezing.
I know. I'm going to be all right.
You see. There is enough for me to manage.
[Ilias] It'll do me just fine.
It's kind of you to
bring those things for me.
Why don't you put them there for me?
Please don't mind the others.
It's fine for you to stay in the outhouse.
You're not like the others,
are you, Daniel?
How do you mean?
This thing...
This thing that's calling you.
It's real.
Oh...
I can still feel Mr Goodwin's
spirit in here.
[Ilias] I don't think he'll
ever stop loving the place.
It's okay.
You can leave me now.
- But...
- It's okay. You can go.
[Ilias] It's okay. You go now.
But is there anything else that you need?
I just need you to be strong, Daniel.
It's okay.
You go now.
I'll go down to the pier
and raise the flag.
The fishing boat will come by
at about nine in the morning.
- Do you want me to come and pick you up?
- No.
I'll be okay.
Thank you.
You go now, please, Daniel.
[background hip-hop music]
[Kai] Hey, Dan. Have a drink.
What a weirdo, eh?
Is he really going to sleep
in the chapel?
Go on, Dan.
Have a drink.
No, thanks.
- [Kai] We need to celebrate.
- Celebrate what?
Our victory!
Victory?
[Loukas] I think the bastard got the message.
Message?
Oh, come on, Dan.
Wake up!
We've just been had.
They've been stringing us
along like puppets.
Where is he?
[Kai] Oh, shut up, Rosie.
- Who cares where he is?
- Like puppets on a string.
I have a plan, comrades!
- Comrades?
- Comrades!
What's the matter, Dan?
We're going to be evicted
if we're not careful.
Ah, no! This is where my plan comes in.
The man has a plan.
The man has always got a plan.
Seriously. Listen.
I have a plan.
Go on then.
- We claim squatter's rights.
- What?
[in Greek] Perfect, my love! Awesome!
Yeah.
If we were to send a message
to this Ilias bloke.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, if we were to make sure
that this Ilias bloke understood
that we are taking over this place.
Like squatters.
- Like squatters.
- Yeah.
But why?
We could build a commune
and get more people to come here.
Like an eco village.
No capitalism here.
No war.
No climate disaster.
Just freedom!
[laughter]
What are they going to do about it?
This is an abandoned island.
No one cares.
If there were a lot of us,
do you think this Mr Goodwin
is going to come and chuck us off?
What are you on about, Loukas?
[Loukas] But Dan, we can do
whatever the fuck we want.
We have an agreement with Mr Goodwin
to prepare this house and its grounds
as a spiritual retreat.
Spiritual retreat.
Fuck my ass!
[laughter]
Come on, Kai.
Come on, Rosie.
I reckon we should go
and let this Ilias guy know
what our plans are.
Perhaps he could be persuaded.
What do you think, Kai?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
[Loukas] We are going to have
to think of a new name.
[Loukas] We can't set up a new order
and still call it Goodwin Island.
Can we?
[all laughing]
[Kai] Goodwin Island!
[laughter fades and stops]
[hurried footsteps]
They've gone to the chapel.
- What? Who?
- Loukas and Kai.
What do you mean,
they've gone to the chapel?
They've gone to the chapel.
I don't know what they're going to do.
Why is all this happening?
This is supposed to be a dream for us.
And now I don't know what is happening.
You know, one minute
we've got this dream job and then...
...the next we're...
And... and after the nightmare
of losing dad and then losing...
Dan?
Dan?
Dan, where are you going?
Dan!
Dan!
[receding footsteps]
[violent fist blows and scuffles]
[Ilias] What are you doing? Leave me alone!
[Loukas] You think you are
going to get away with this?
[Ilias] Oh! Ah!
[Ilias] What are you on about? Oh! Ah!
[Kai] -Where do you think you're going?
[Ilias] -Aw!
[Ilias] Aw!
[Ilias] Aw! Oh!
What are you doing?
[Kai] -What are you doing here?
[Loukas] -Get the hell out of here!
What are you doing?
What the hell are you guys doing?
[Kai] You shouldn't be here.
[Loukas] We are just making sure
he gets his story straight.
What's the matter with you, Kai?
Is this you?
You didn't need to know about this.
What?
We've got to finish this off, Dan.
You shouldn't be here.
Stop it, man.
You can't do this.
[Loukas] He is just going to give
it away now, isn't he?
You're crazy.
Stop it.
Kai.
[Kai] He's right.
What are you guys playing at?
I can't believe this.
Oh!
[Ilias] Ah! Oh! Oh!
You are letting the team down.
What team?
You're in on this too, Dan.
Damn right, I am.
Go on home.
Go on. Go on home.
You're betraying us, Dan.
Who's doing the betraying, Kai?
You are going to regret this, Dan.
[footsteps receding]
Aw!
I'm very sorry.
It's highly likely that Mr Goodwin
is going to send someone
else very quickly.
Given the situation,
he may see fit to send his son.
- But Lia said there were no heirs.
- [Ilias] Did she?
Well, he has a son.
Oh.
I'm sure he'll want to send his son
to bring back the project on track.
He will have more authority than me.
It will be quite a change.
[feet wading in water]
[boat engine starts and sets off]
[Loukas] To begin with, we could
probably house up to twenty people.
[Loukas] Some in the house,
some in the outhouse.
[Loukas] If we got rid of all that junk in there.
[Loukas] And of course, pitching tents.
[Kai] We could clear the land outside the wall,
[Kai] -and then there would be room for more.
[Loukas] -Exactly.
[Loukas] But one step at a time.
[Loukas] I could see us
having a great community here.
[Loukas] We could really set the
example for ecological living.
[Loukas] Carbon neutral. No pollution.
[Loukas] No bankers or big corporations.
[Loukas] No police.
[Loukas] Just eco friendly.
[Loukas] People could, like, give up
their jobs in the city and then...
[Kai] Hey, Dan.
You look like a ghost.
What's happened?
Just got back from the pier.
I hope you did your bit to persuade him.
I think he's got your message okay.
Then everything's going to be fine.
He has a son.
Who has a son?
[Daniel] Mr Goodwin.
Ha!
Makes no fucking difference.
Kai!
Makes no difference to our plans.
Even if we do have a traitor in our midst.
Huh!
What's going on, Kai?
[Daniel] I think what we're doing is wrong.
[Loukas] Fuck you, Dan!
[Loukas] This is about justice.
Social justice.
[Loukas] Cosmic justice.
Kai?
[hip-hop music begins]
I know you.
We've met. I'm sure of it.
No, I don't think so.
Themis, you've seen Rosie
before, haven't you?
- No, not sure.
- Sure you have.
You went on tour in Greece
once, didn't you?
Music?
No, not really.
[Themis] Oh, I know!
I know. 'Signature'.
You were in that band. 'Signature'.
I saw you in Thessaloniki.
Oh, yeah! 'Signature'.
Wow. You are the pop star.
Loukas, she is a star.
I knew I'd seen you before.
I fucking knew it.
Best fucking singer in the world.
[Loukas] I used to drool over you
when you were on that stage.
Fucking brilliant songs and...
...and your voice...
Your voice is beautiful.
Why the fuck are you here?
Let's have a song.
[Loukas] Yeah. Great idea.
How about one of your songs?
Ah. What's that one called?
Willow. Is that what it was called?
It's one of my favourites.
Hey, Rosie. What's up?
- She's a bit upset about all that stuff.
- Upset?
Come on, Rosie.
Sing us a song.
[hip-hop music continues]
[Themis] What's the matter with her?
- She hasn't sung for months.
- Why?
She lost a child.
Your child?
Aha.
[hip-hop music continues]
Hey, Rosie.
Hey, Loukas!
Leave her alone.
- What the fuck?
- Can't you see she's upset?
What's this?
Small brother protecting big sister?
- Are you okay?
- Fuck off!
[hip-hop music continues]
It's okay, Daniel.
[Rosie] I'm fine.
[hip-hop music ends]
[gentle breeze in trees above]
[breeze in trees gets stronger]
[rustle in undergrowth]
[stronger breeze in trees]
[breeze in trees sound like
human breathing]
Dad?
[roars]
[ominous music]
[Loukas] And the dragon...
[Loukas] gave the beast
his own power and throne,
[Loukas] and great authority.
[Loukas] I saw that one of
the heads of the beast...
[Loukas] seemed wounded beyond recovery.
[roars]
[Loukas] But the fatal wound was healed.
The whole world marveled
at this miracle,
and gave allegiance to the beast.
They worshipped the dragon
for giving the beast such power.
And they also worshiped the beast.
Who is as great as the beast
they exclaimed?
[Loukas] Who is able to fight against him?
[Loukas] The beast has arrived.
[Loukas] Behold! The beast has arrived.
[Kai] The beast has arrived.
[Themis] he beast has arrived.
Worship the beast.
The beast was arrived.
The beast arrived.
What are you doing? Stop!
Leave me alone.
[ominous music continues]
What's the matter with you guys?
You've got to stop this.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Fuck off.
Come on, Dan.
It's just a joke.
Come on, Dan.
It's just a bit of fun.
Dan! Come back!
Come on, Dan!
Dan!
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
Worship the beast.
[ominous music fades and stops]
Good morning, Daniel.
What the...
Who are you?
I'm Mr Goodwin Junior.
What?
I'm Mr Goodwin's son.
He sent me here.
[Daniel] But...
But how did you get here?
The fishing boat is not due yet.
I'm here.
[Goodwin Jr] You mustn't run away, Daniel.
[Goodwin Jr] Mr Goodwin wants you to stay.
To commit.
And to preserve.
Who are you?
I told you already.
I'm Mr Goodwin's son.
And I've come
to save Mr Goodwin's project.
- This way.
- I just want to look at something.
Where is everyone?
They're probably still asleep.
Perhaps you can wake them up?
Um...
I know some of you have been
sleeping in the house.
Wake them up and
I'll see you all in the kitchen.
What's this then?
Just sit.
It's okay.
You found a new member
for our collective.
No.
This is Mr Goodwin Junior.
Mr Goodwin's son.
Hi everyone.
Is this some kind of joke?
I don't think so.
There is no fucking way
this is Mr Goodwin's son.
Why not, Loukas?
Well, there is no Mr Goodwin.
It's all a conspiracy to control us.
That's right.
And in any case,
how did he get onto the island?
There is no fucking Mr Goodwin.
And even if there were,
there is no fucking way
that you are his son.
- Why not, Loukas?
- How could you possibly be his son?
Didn't Ilias tell you
someone else would come?
How did you get here?
The fishing boat isn't due until later.
We haven't seen you around
on the island before.
Where did you find this fucking teaser?
You are fucking with us.
Are you with us or against us?
I didn't do anything.
He just appeared.
What the fuck are you on about?
Have you lost the plot, Dan?
I've seen you before, Loukas.
I've seen how you corrupted Themis.
And now you're trying
to do the same here.
[in Greek] -What the hell does he say?
[in Greek] -I have no idea!
I've seen how you persuaded
her not to have children,
because there's too many people.
And how you cleverly played a feminist
and manipulated her into
becoming your partner in crime.
Fuck off! Who the hell do you think you are?
[in Greek] Loukas!
I told you.
I'm Mr Goodwin's son.
In fact, I'm his only son.
Even you, Loukas.
If you follow the instructions,
I can put in a good word
for you of my Dada.
And trust me,
I know he'll be forgiving.
Fuck you.
I don't know who you are,
but we want you the fuck out of here.
That goes for you, too.
If you follow my instructions,
we can fix this.
But only through me can we fix this.
Do you understand?
I am the only way we can fix this now.
Did you fucking hear what I said?
I don't think you understand
what I'm saying, Loukas.
- Oh, yeah, I understand...
- Shut up!
I see you're choosing
to reject my dad's generosity.
So let's make this clear, Loukas.
I'm instructing you and Themis
to leave this island...
on the next fishing boat
tomorrow morning.
You, Kai and Rosie,
have to make your decision...
on whether you are going to follow
Mr Goodwin's instructions.
Daniel will be staying.
If necessary, we'll build
a new team around him.
These are Mr Goodwin's instructions
and I expect them to be followed out.
Now, I'm going to go for
a walk on the beach.
[in Greek] How did he know
what you had told me?
[in Greek] How should I fucking know?
- How did he know all our names?
- He will have got those from Ilias.
There is no fucking way...
he is this so-called mystery
Mr Goodwin's son.
Yeah, but how does he know,
if he hasn't been in touch
with Lia or Ilias?
Pure chance?
But how did he get here?
Yeah, Dan.
How did he get here?
Come on, Kai.
Rosie.
It's true, isn't it?
Everything was fine.
Even if we were running late.
And then...
What are you implying, Dan?
So it's Loukas's and my fault
that things got fucked up?
That seems to be what he's saying.
No.
It's just, we were
commissioned to do a job,
and I don't think we should be turning
away from Mr Goodwin's wishes...
and undermining what he wants us to do.
Who are we to do that?
[Kai] But we all agreed some of the
things he wants to do aren't right.
[Themis] Sexist. Racist. Unjust.
[Loukas] Yeah, but we all know
that this Mr Goodwin does not exist.
[Daniel] Of course he exists.
You've met his son.
[Loukas] You see, Rosie.
Hm?
[Loukas] We've lost your brother
to the other side.
[Loukas] Rosie?
But what if he's right?
He doesn't fucking exist!
For Christ's sake. Look.
We beat up Ilias, so how
come the police didn't come?
What is this...
...this only some crap?
If this were a genuine thing,
the police would be here
arresting us for GBH.
Wake up folks!
Wake up!
[Loukas] I say, we squat on this island
until someone comes and kicks us off.
[Loukas] We make it like we want it to be.
A perfect eco island where
we show the world how to live.
[Daniel] -He wants you off the island.
[Loukas] -Fuck Junior! He's just an imposter.
Do you think...
...it would make any difference
if we took him out?
What?
[Loukas] Look at what has happened so far, Daniel.
[Loukas] What do you see?
I can't fucking believe this.
I can't believe
you're not saying anything.
I hope this is a nightmare,
and I'm going to wake up soon.
[Kai] You want to protect this
colonial bastard?
[Loukas] I say 'Fuck Mr Goodwin!'
[voices and laughter]
[Kai] -Are you a capitalist pig, Daniel?
[Loukas] -Squatters rights!
[Kai] There is no one up there either.
[Loukas] What's to stop us
just taking over this project?
[Kai] -The Holy Bible.
[Loukas] -You're going to regret this, Dan.
[Loukas] I have a plan, comrades.
We'll have to think of a new name.
[Loukas] We can't set up a new order
and still call it Goodwin Island.
[Loukas] Can we?
[voices and loud laughter]
[Loukas] Comrades!
[voices and laughter suddenly stops]
[hurried footsteps]
[receding footsteps]
[instrumental music with out of
tune piano theme]
[approaching hurried footsteps]
[approaching hurried footsteps]
[branch snaps]
[out of tune piano music theme ends]
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Mr Goodwin!
Why?
[hip-hop music begins]
