00:00:00Okay, great. I'll set it up. Thank you. Have a good day.
00:00:17Abby, you're early. Thank goodness.
00:00:19Pluto must be in retrograde because today is not a lion.
00:00:21Okay, Katie. Breathe.
00:00:26Okay. Good. What's going on?
00:00:28A pipe burst in the middle of the night, and the east ballroom is closed until someone can get the water turned back on.
00:00:33Maintenance said they can't get someone here until tomorrow, and there's a wedding at 6.
00:00:37Okay, pipes always burst in the middle of the night. That's just the law. So I will handle that. What else?
00:00:44The Japanese ambassador is unexpectedly arriving in two hours, but there's someone in his usual suite.
00:00:51I see.
00:00:52Hello, Mr. Stevens. This is Abby Dolan, the assistant manager.
00:01:01We just want to thank you so much for being such a loyal customer and offer you a free upgrade into the penthouse suite.
00:01:07Okay, great. We will send somebody up for your luggage.
00:01:11No, thank you.
00:01:16Thanks, Abby. You're going to be a great manager.
00:01:19Don't jinx it. They haven't offered it to me yet.
00:01:24Oh, it's my mom. I've got to take this.
00:01:29Oh, my gosh. Mom, where are you?
00:01:31Oh, just in a little cafe down the street.
00:01:34Hmm. I'm envious.
00:01:36See, another reason you should come visit your lonely mother in Greece. It's been two years and you still haven't come.
00:01:41And plus, you'll finally get to meet Yanni.
00:01:43I know. I'm sorry. Things here have just been so crazy.
00:01:46Anyway, I wanted to wish you luck today.
00:01:48Thank you. I wore my lucky shoes, just in case.
00:01:52What is that you're eating?
00:01:53It's a breakfast wrap.
00:01:54It's so sad and flat. Can't you get real food in New York?
00:01:57I don't have time for anything that I can eat with one hand.
00:02:01Speaking of which, I have to go because I don't want to be late.
00:02:04Good luck, honey.
00:02:05I know how much this promotion means to you.
00:02:07You've worked so hard. You deserve it.
00:02:09Tell him your mother said so.
00:02:11Okay. All right. I love you lots.
00:02:13Love you more. Bye.
00:02:25Abby, what happened?
00:02:26Downsizing.
00:02:27I think you were right about Pluto.
00:02:29I'm so sorry. What are you going to do now?
00:02:56Abby, sweetheart, I can't believe you're here.
00:03:02Mom, it's so good to see you.
00:03:04You must be exhausted. Are you doing okay?
00:03:06I'm okay.
00:03:07You want a coffee and a coulourie?
00:03:09I have no idea what that is, but yes.
00:03:18So you're telling me I have two weeks?
00:03:20Yes.
00:03:22You can be serious.
00:03:23Yes.
00:03:24You need to serve food on the premises.
00:03:25Or the zoning will revert back to residential.
00:03:28Can I file for an extension somehow?
00:03:30The place hasn't been vacant since I inherited it ten years ago.
00:03:33You can just turn around and open up on a moment's notice.
00:03:36Sorry, but no.
00:03:37It's not right for you to do this with no warning.
00:03:40They have sent multiple notices to your address.
00:03:44I've been in Paris.
00:03:45Sorry.
00:03:46Is it always so quiet here?
00:03:54Pretty much.
00:03:55Life here is calm.
00:03:56It's nice.
00:03:57I can see why you and Dad wanted to retire here.
00:04:00Moving to Greece was the best decision I've ever made.
00:04:03I just wish we decided to do it sooner while he was still with us.
00:04:07Sorry, Mom.
00:04:09Do what you love.
00:04:11Don't wait for the time to be right.
00:04:14This isn't quite what I pictured when you said coulourie.
00:04:18They're everywhere here.
00:04:20And you can kind of eat them with one hand.
00:04:22Yanni turned me on to them.
00:04:25I hope you like Yanni.
00:04:27I look forward to meeting him.
00:04:29Good.
00:04:30Because he's invited us to his farm for dinner tomorrow.
00:04:32And he says he has a special treat planned.
00:04:34Sounds like fun, Mom.
00:04:48Oh, come on.
00:04:59I think your car had a baby.
00:05:02It looks like we aren't going anywhere.
00:05:04I thought I escaped this sort of thing when I left New York.
00:05:07I'll go see if the owner's inside.
00:05:08Be right back.
00:05:09Excuse me.
00:05:24Sorry, is this your bike?
00:05:27Yeah?
00:05:31Can I go now?
00:05:32You're blocking my mom's car.
00:05:34I'm leaving, but you're in my way.
00:05:36Well, there's plenty of other places that you could have parked instead.
00:05:41And there are plenty of other bikes you can stand in front of, too.
00:05:46Can I go now?
00:05:48Fine.
00:06:21Theo.
00:06:22Dad.
00:06:23Hi.
00:06:24I've been trying to reach you.
00:06:25I hear you're back in Greece.
00:06:27I almost just got here.
00:06:29And where is here?
00:06:30The villa.
00:06:31On Syros.
00:06:33Sofia's villa.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:37What happened to school?
00:06:39I'm going back.
00:06:40Don't worry.
00:06:41Theo, you need to finish what you start.
00:06:43It's time to stop playing.
00:06:45I know you want me to come work for the company, but I'm not ready to give up on this.
00:06:49I think I've indulged your hobbies long enough.
00:06:51Goodbye, Dad.
00:06:53Wow.
00:06:54So this is Seeking Syros.
00:07:10It's...
00:07:11This is it.
00:07:12I wanted to make a splash and let people know we were here and open for business.
00:07:17Come on in.
00:07:23Oh, hello.
00:07:24Abby.
00:07:25This is Cassia.
00:07:26She's my best employee.
00:07:27I'm your only employee.
00:07:28Nice to meet you, Abby.
00:07:30I've heard a lot about you.
00:07:33It's an honor.
00:07:34I think.
00:07:35Cassia's my certified local.
00:07:37I know what's going on in this town.
00:07:39So you grew up here?
00:07:41I've lived here all my life, except when I went to Athens to study accounting.
00:07:46Really?
00:07:47Yes, I have a degree in accounting.
00:07:50But she likes the real estate business more.
00:07:52That's true.
00:07:53I'm going to show Abby to her room, Cassia.
00:07:56We'll talk later.
00:07:57I'm sure you must be jet-lagged.
00:07:59You're going to pass right out.
00:08:00I made up the loft for you.
00:08:02The ceiling's a little low, but you'll love it.
00:08:04Actually, I'm...
00:08:05I'm not that tired.
00:08:06I think I'll work on my resume before bed.
00:08:10urged you to keep going to £21.
00:08:12I want to cut you so much.
00:08:13You're hot.
00:08:14I'm going to break maybe since 4 as you live in a top last.
00:08:15I'm not allowed!
00:08:16I'll break pal you де before bed!
00:08:17I quit.
00:08:18I have to lift you up.
00:08:19royal boyfriend stills locked down.
00:08:21I have to cut me out.
00:08:23Yesssssō to the door with myarella bald,
00:08:25I'll do the money.
00:08:26What was going on at Vancouver today?
00:08:27I'm not messing with her.
00:08:28Essential…
00:08:29All I'd like to have was to close in my 來.
00:08:30It's beautiful.
00:08:51Jackie, you didn't tell me you were bringing an angel to lunch.
00:08:56Yanni, this is my daughter Abby.
00:08:58What a delight it is to finally meet you, Abby.
00:09:02It's a pleasure, Yanni.
00:09:03Welcome to Greece.
00:09:05Jackie, Phanos, Maria and Abby.
00:09:08Hi.
00:09:10You see this table? Yanni made it.
00:09:13Everyone, I would like to introduce our chef, Theo Christodoulopoulos.
00:09:20Theo is the son of a dear childhood friend, Sophia.
00:09:24He's just arrived back in Greece directly from Le Gordon Bleu and he's preparing for us a classic Greek meal in honor of my lovely Jackie's daughter, Abby, who is visiting us from New York.
00:09:39For starters, I have prepared dogmadagia, which is made with fresh grape leaves and rice infused with dill, fava with caramelized onions and fire-roasted red peppers and hummus.
00:09:51Please, enjoy.
00:09:52So, you're a chef.
00:10:15And you are the guest of honor, of course. It's just my luck today.
00:10:24Though your parking may be atrocious, your cooking is spectacular.
00:10:34Though your customer service could use a little bit of a makeover.
00:10:37You know what could use a makeover? It's that building your mother owns. You know, the one you need sunglasses to look at.
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:47I'm surprised nobody has filed a complaint yet.
00:10:49I just hope our car's not blocked in when we leave.
00:10:52Wait.
00:10:54Come here.
00:10:58Try this.
00:10:58Oh, my gosh. That's amazing. What is this?
00:11:10It's dacos.
00:11:11A traditional Greek bite from Crete.
00:11:13Look, don't think that you can just feed me instead of apologizing.
00:11:19Mm-hmm.
00:11:19Okay.
00:11:28I hope this place was a cafe. I mean, I guess there's a lot of cafes, so maybe I'm confused.
00:11:40Oh, no, it is. But here, most of the cafes serve cocktails at night.
00:11:44Clever.
00:11:46Yummus.
00:11:47Yummus.
00:11:51Okay.
00:11:52So, tell me.
00:11:54Since you have a degree in accounting,
00:11:56is my mom's business in trouble?
00:11:57I don't know if I'd say it's in trouble, but...
00:12:02It's not great.
00:12:03Oh, no. No, it's definitely not great. Your mom is very stubborn.
00:12:07Believe me. I know.
00:12:09She needs to make some changes.
00:12:11Starting with that pink paint.
00:12:13I assume you know that everyone hates it.
00:12:16I told her, but...
00:12:17She needs to hear it from you.
00:12:20Oh, sorry. One second.
00:12:22I need to take this.
00:12:25Katie!
00:12:26Abby.
00:12:26Hope, Grace, is amazing.
00:12:29I'm on a mission.
00:12:30I'm going to get your job back.
00:12:32I thought they gave my position to John.
00:12:34Listen, I just heard that corporate is looking for someone in franchise development,
00:12:38and they're talking about you.
00:12:40What does that even mean?
00:12:41They're going to give you a call to schedule an interview,
00:12:44but they're going to ask you about restaurant experience,
00:12:46since the job would be opening restaurants.
00:12:48Do you have any?
00:12:49I know nothing about restaurants, and I've certainly never opened one, but I'd be willing to learn.
00:12:54They're coming.
00:12:54They're coming. I gotta go.
00:12:56Okay.
00:12:58Sorry about that.
00:13:00I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but did you say you need experience with a restaurant opening?
00:13:06Yes.
00:13:07I have a friend who's opening a restaurant soon, and could you use a hand from someone with management experience?
00:13:15Hiring a manager?
00:13:16More like a partner.
00:13:18I don't know.
00:13:19Meet him. What do you have to lose?
00:13:21Meet her. What do you have to lose?
00:13:27Everything, Cassia.
00:13:29My mother's legacy is. I can't miss around here.
00:13:32And you think you can do everything.
00:13:35Look, I know someone who has experience managing hotels,
00:13:39and could help you get the place open on time.
00:13:41Hotels?
00:13:42What does that have to do with a restaurant?
00:13:46I don't need any help.
00:13:48Yes, you do.
00:13:49Don't try to do it all yourself.
00:13:52What do you have experience managing?
00:13:56That's not the point.
00:13:57You could just focus on the food and let her handle the business side.
00:14:01Everyone wins.
00:14:12Over here!
00:14:16Oh, great. Abby.
00:14:19Thanks for you.
00:14:21You know each other?
00:14:22I wouldn't go that far.
00:14:24What are you eating?
00:14:26A gyro.
00:14:27I microwaved it before I came.
00:14:29Microwaved gyros?
00:14:31Yeah.
00:14:32Okay, no.
00:14:33That's trash.
00:14:34That's mine.
00:14:35If you're gonna eat gyros, you're gonna do it right.
00:14:37Okay, Cassie, I don't think this is the way of it.
00:14:41Hey!
00:14:42Probably not, but I can let you eat that.
00:14:47Come on, I'm doing you a favor.
00:14:49Let's go.
00:14:49Try that and tell me this isn't a different experience.
00:15:08Okay, this is amazing.
00:15:13See?
00:15:14Fiona knows food.
00:15:15That I don't doubt.
00:15:16And Abby knows how to manage a business.
00:15:19Tell him.
00:15:20Well, I basically managed a hotel in Manhattan for six years.
00:15:25You have to serve food by next weekend, right?
00:15:29And you have to be able to talk about restaurant experience for your job interview.
00:15:33It's meant to be.
00:15:33But do you actually need help?
00:15:37Like, do you really want to open a restaurant?
00:15:39Or are you just doing all this to keep the zoning?
00:15:42It's been my dream for years to reopen my mother's restaurant.
00:15:45Well, I'm not going to pretend to know anything about Greek food.
00:15:49And I'm not going to pretend to know anything about customer service.
00:15:53But why do you want to work on my restaurant?
00:15:57Well, first of all, it would be our restaurant.
00:16:00And because I want to create something that has a lasting effect on people.
00:16:06So maybe I do that here and then I take the job experience back home with me.
00:16:10So you'd help me get started and then leave?
00:16:15Worst case scenario, I annoy you for two weeks.
00:16:20This is going to be a lot of work.
00:16:23I don't do anything halfway.
00:16:24Trust me.
00:16:30Okay, Abitola.
00:16:31Let's try this.
00:16:33Okay, Theo Christodilopoulos.
00:16:37Christodilopoulos.
00:16:38It's a lot of syllables.
00:16:39But I'll get it.
00:16:41Alright, I'll show you the place and we can talk about it.
00:16:49Hey!
00:16:51Theo Christodilopoulos.
00:16:54I'm using my mother's name while I'm here.
00:16:56Why?
00:16:57You never used to do that.
00:17:00The Papa's name comes with so much package.
00:17:04Here I'm anonymous.
00:17:05So you want me to keep your secret?
00:17:11At least for a while longer.
00:17:15Before I inevitably have to turn back into a Papa's.
00:17:18Yeah, like a pumpkin at midnight.
00:17:25Nicholas, how can I be helpful today?
00:17:28Have a seat.
00:17:30Dimitris, you remember when Theo worked here?
00:17:36Sure.
00:17:37He's very smart.
00:17:38When he applies himself.
00:17:40Theo has left school in Paris.
00:17:43He's living in Sofia's villa.
00:17:45I told him he should come back to Athens, but he ignores me.
00:17:48How can I help?
00:17:54I know you've got other work to do, but I need a personal favor, Dimitris.
00:17:59You know, I would do anything for you, Nicholas.
00:18:02I need you to go to Syros and get Theo to come home.
00:18:05I told him that if he isn't going to pull his own weight, that I wasn't going to support him any longer.
00:18:13You really think he's going to listen to me?
00:18:15I think he will have to.
00:18:16He lives in the villa now, and that villa belongs to the company.
00:18:24Pay him a visit.
00:18:26He won't last long on his own.
00:18:29I like the color.
00:18:38I think it expresses your mother's vibrant personality.
00:18:41The pink has got to go, Yanni.
00:18:44Everybody hates it.
00:18:46Yanni doesn't hate it.
00:18:47No.
00:18:48Oh, and has Yanni bought any houses from you?
00:18:51It gets attention.
00:18:53Yes, but it gets the wrong attention.
00:18:56If you're going to sell the island feel, you need to show that you understand it.
00:19:01No offense, Mom.
00:19:03Okay, I'm convinced.
00:19:05Well, then so am I.
00:19:08And I'm ready to work.
00:19:11Thank you, Yanni.
00:19:13The end of an era.
00:19:16The beginning of an era.
00:19:17The beginning of an era.
00:19:23Why didn't you tell me that your business was having trouble?
00:19:28I didn't want you to worry, and I still don't want you to.
00:19:32I'll be okay.
00:19:33Okay.
00:19:34So, you're having trouble finding clients.
00:19:37It's not like my reputation back home travels with me.
00:19:40You know, I can do some work on your website.
00:19:43Make sure that it shows up on Greek searches.
00:19:45How do you do that?
00:19:48I'll handle it.
00:19:49Just show me how to log on.
00:19:53What's your favorite part of the day?
00:20:12Theo?
00:20:14Hi.
00:20:16Hi. This is the place.
00:20:22Try the lights.
00:20:28I was worried about that.
00:20:31That's okay. We can fix that.
00:20:33I deal with this sort of thing all the time.
00:20:37So this was your mom's place?
00:20:40It belonged to her family.
00:20:42My ayah and babu practically lived here.
00:20:45My mother gave it to me when she died.
00:20:49I'm sorry.
00:20:51How long?
00:20:53Next spring will be ten years.
00:20:56I know the feeling.
00:20:58I lost my dad when I was in grad school.
00:21:00It doesn't get better, but it gets easier.
00:21:04Alright, let me show you my favorite room.
00:21:15I think that's where I learned to love food.
00:21:18What's in the way they transformed the ingredients into something personal and special.
00:21:24It's an art.
00:21:26I always just pictured a lot of chopping onions and yelling.
00:21:30Well, there is a lot of chopping onions and peeling potatoes.
00:21:34But the yelling isn't required.
00:21:36Okay.
00:21:38Well, we have the location, the space, a decent chef.
00:21:44Now all we need is decor, furnishing, our permits, ingredients, and a menu.
00:21:51Oh, is that all?
00:21:53Baby steps.
00:21:54Oh, I collected some of these menus from local taverns.
00:21:58That way we can create our own menu.
00:22:00Tavernes.
00:22:01What?
00:22:02No.
00:22:03No taverns.
00:22:04Tavernes.
00:22:05Oh.
00:22:06Besides, we don't need to know what they're serving.
00:22:09We should always know what your competition's serving.
00:22:13But I know Greek food.
00:22:15I'm sure you do, but I just thought this would be a good place to start.
00:22:20You know, that way we can go through everything and see what's popular.
00:22:23Oh, and spanakopita has to be on the menu.
00:22:26It's my favorite.
00:22:27Everyone has spanakopita.
00:22:29Exactly.
00:22:30All of these places serve Greek salad.
00:22:33But only two serve tacos.
00:22:35It's the same ingredients.
00:22:37You know, added variety without the end expense.
00:22:41I like to work differently.
00:22:44Okay.
00:22:45How's that?
00:22:46When I cooked for Yanni, I went to the market that morning and picked what looked best and freshest.
00:22:52And I created a menu based on those ingredients.
00:22:55And that works great for specials.
00:22:58But that's not really how a menu works.
00:23:01Why not?
00:23:02Because people have preferences.
00:23:04Like, they want choices, options.
00:23:06True.
00:23:07We need a menu.
00:23:10All right.
00:23:12I'll take a look at this.
00:23:13Thank you, Ami.
00:23:14Thank you, Ami.
00:23:17Thank you, Ami.
00:23:23All right.
00:23:24Thank you, Ami.
00:23:26OK.
00:23:46Hey.
00:23:47OK.
00:23:48Here we go.
00:23:49Dimitris, how did you get in here?
00:23:55I have a key. This belongs to the company, remember?
00:23:58It would be nice if you'd let me know that you were coming.
00:24:01Why? So you can avoid me? Like you about your father.
00:24:04Perhaps we could have some coffee while you and I discuss about some serious business.
00:24:09No sugar. He won't sell the villa.
00:24:13Oh, he is selling the villa.
00:24:20I should have seen this coming.
00:24:24Fear, fear.
00:24:27Why do you insist on making this so difficult?
00:24:30Can you deny that since you were born you've gotten everything you ever desired?
00:24:34But does that mean I should have no say in what I do with my life?
00:24:38When you came to work with us after college,
00:24:42anyone could see your potential.
00:24:44You really connected with people and your father,
00:24:46I could see the pride in his eyes whenever you would speak at our meetings.
00:24:51If you come back now, by the time he retires,
00:24:55you will know enough to run the business yourself.
00:24:57I'm sorry.
00:24:58That's just not what I want.
00:25:03You've been in Paris for how long?
00:25:06Almost three years.
00:25:08What do you call a person that moves from one thing to the next and to the next?
00:25:13A seeker.
00:25:15I was thinking more among the lines of a drifter.
00:25:17Please deliver a message to my dad.
00:25:21Tell him I'm not moving back to Athens.
00:25:25I'm staying here to open a restaurant.
00:25:27Opening a restaurant?
00:25:29How long do I have?
00:25:32We'll be listing it as soon as possible.
00:25:35Great.
00:25:36So he's kicking me out?
00:25:38No, he's not kicking you out.
00:25:40He just needs you out of the way of the sale.
00:25:43What's the difference?
00:25:44The way I say it doesn't sound as harsh.
00:25:46This is the best thing for you.
00:25:48And just for the record, I look forward to welcoming you back.
00:25:55This place is a dream.
00:26:14The booths back at home sell like knock-off sweatshirts and cell phone cases.
00:26:19I've never actually been here before.
00:26:22Really?
00:26:24I thought you were from the island.
00:26:27I spent a lot of time here, but mostly lived in Athens.
00:26:31My parents were not the flea market sort.
00:26:35My mom is a genius at sifting through the junk to get to the gold.
00:26:40I love it.
00:26:41Each item has its own story, its own history.
00:26:45Well, I don't even know what most of these things are.
00:26:48Like, who would need this?
00:26:51Whatever that is.
00:26:52But that's, that's the beauty of it.
00:26:54There are things here that you might not want, but somebody else does.
00:26:58Like, okay, who would buy this?
00:27:01Probably someone with a leopard green bathrobe.
00:27:04So, what's that thing for you that nobody else would want?
00:27:11Okay.
00:27:13Let's play a game.
00:27:15I'm gonna pick out something that I think you would like, and you pick out something that
00:27:19you think I would like.
00:27:21Okay.
00:27:22In the meantime, I think we can find everything that we need here.
00:27:25It's homey and authentic.
00:27:26Like your food.
00:27:27Do you think my cooking is a good match with junk?
00:27:31I'm kidding.
00:27:32It's perfect.
00:27:33Let's shop.
00:27:34I'm kidding.
00:27:35I'm kidding.
00:27:36It's perfect.
00:27:37Let's shop.
00:27:39Here.
00:27:40Here.
00:27:46Okay, everything is set and ready for delivery.
00:28:19You're a great negotiator in Florida.
00:28:21I think you are becoming Greek.
00:28:23Well, every table is going to be completely unique.
00:28:27Alright, so the real question is, what did you choose?
00:28:31You go first.
00:28:33Okay.
00:28:35A spice grinder.
00:28:38This is perfect.
00:28:41My yaya had one just like this.
00:28:45Mine is not as good.
00:28:46Stop.
00:28:47I'm sure it's great.
00:28:49For when you want to burn the midnight oil, literally.
00:28:57It's a Greek antique oil, probably better than our electricity at the moment.
00:29:04It's gorgeous, Theo.
00:29:06It was hard to choose.
00:29:08I don't really know you that well.
00:29:11Well, we're going to have to change it.
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15I think we will.
00:29:16Hey, Abby.
00:29:17You did it.
00:29:18What do I do?
00:29:19We are selling the Villa Papas.
00:29:20The what?
00:29:21A mansion belonging to a billionaire.
00:29:24Congratulations.
00:29:25I know.
00:29:26They found me through your website.
00:29:28Why are they selling it?
00:29:30I have no idea.
00:29:31I haven't seen it yet.
00:29:32You haven't seen it yet?
00:29:33I haven't had the chance.
00:29:34Plus, I remember how much you used to love making trips together to look at new listings.
00:29:39Yes.
00:29:40I used to love those trips.
00:29:41I can't wait.
00:29:42I can't wait.
00:29:43I can't wait.
00:29:44Oh, I can't wait.
00:29:45Hi, Abby.
00:29:46Hi, Abby.
00:29:47I have no idea.
00:29:48I haven't seen it yet.
00:29:49I haven't had the chance.
00:29:50Plus, I remember how much you used to love making trips together to look at new listings.
00:29:55Yes.
00:29:56I used to love those trips.
00:29:57I can't wait.
00:30:14Wow, this is amazing.
00:30:18I told you, come on.
00:30:25Shoot.
00:30:39Theo?
00:30:40Abby.
00:30:41Oh my.
00:30:42What are you doing here?
00:30:45I can ask you the same thing.
00:30:47I'm so sorry.
00:30:48I'm a real estate agent representing the owners.
00:30:51Dimitris should have told you I was here.
00:30:53Oh, you know Dimitris.
00:30:55I'm sort of taking care of the place while I'm in town.
00:30:59I was just making some breakfast.
00:31:01Would you like me to show you around?
00:31:02No, no, we can come back.
00:31:04Just give me a moment to put some clothes on.
00:31:07No.
00:31:08No.
00:31:09No.
00:31:10No.
00:31:15Was that the chef from Yanni's?
00:31:18Sure was.
00:31:19All right.
00:31:20Come on in.
00:31:21Welcome to Villa Papas.
00:31:24I remember you, by the way.
00:31:25I'm Jackie.
00:31:26Sorry I didn't introduce myself.
00:31:27Your food was delicious.
00:31:28Theo, and thank you.
00:31:29I hope we'll see you at our restaurant opening.
00:31:44Um, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, your food was delicious.
00:31:49Theo, and thank you.
00:31:50I hope we'll see you at our restaurant opening.
00:31:54We'll see you at our restaurant opening.
00:32:00So, how do you know the Papas?
00:32:03It's a long story.
00:32:05Well, I've never met anyone who knew a billionaire, so I mean...
00:32:09What are they like?
00:32:11They're just like normal people, really.
00:32:14But then they do things like sell the house you're staying in without notice.
00:32:18Sounds harsh.
00:32:20Yeah, they can be kind of harsh.
00:32:22Shall we?
00:32:28This is beautiful.
00:32:35The patio.
00:32:40Wow.
00:32:42This could be a hotel.
00:32:44Or a restaurant.
00:32:46Mrs. Papas designed the villa specifically for entertaining.
00:32:50They used to have big gatherings here.
00:32:53She invited people she thought they were interesting, smart, creative, and encouraged them to talk.
00:33:03And finally, as Abby might have guessed, my favorite room.
00:33:08Ah, the kitchen.
00:33:11Yes.
00:33:14The acoustics make it very easy to hear each other at a party.
00:33:18That's very interesting.
00:33:21If the kitchen were a little bit bigger, it could really be a hotel.
00:33:24Or a restaurant.
00:33:26A restaurant?
00:33:34It was great to see you again, Zaki.
00:33:36Though I apologize for the unique circumstances.
00:33:39I'll make sure and call in the future.
00:33:41Tell me, Pio.
00:33:44Hey, nicely done.
00:33:46Tomorrow I'd like to show you how I would prepare them to you.
00:33:49Okay?
00:33:50Okay.
00:33:53Okay.
00:33:55Bye.
00:33:56So, I sense you two know each other?
00:34:06We do.
00:34:08Is there something I should know?
00:34:10What's this business about a restaurant?
00:34:13Cassia hooked me up with Theo and I'm helping him open up a restaurant.
00:34:19What?
00:34:20Look, I need the experience for a job interview.
00:34:24And, um, yeah, long story.
00:34:27So you and Theo are opening a restaurant together while you're on vacation in Greece?
00:34:32I mean, my boss did clear my schedule, so.
00:34:36Abby, you never cease to amaze me.
00:34:39You're not upset?
00:34:41Upset? No.
00:34:43Just be careful not to get too invested in something you can't get out of if you need to.
00:34:48I won't.
00:34:50I won't.
00:34:56Calimera.
00:34:57Calimera, Yanni.
00:34:59What are those?
00:35:00Pink roses.
00:35:03Do you remember your pink building by?
00:35:06Oh, Yanni, you're so sweet.
00:35:12So, who's ready for some sightseeing?
00:35:20Oh, my gosh.
00:35:21I hate them.
00:35:22I hate them.
00:35:23I hate them.
00:35:24I hate them.
00:35:25I hate them.
00:35:26I hate them.
00:35:28I hate them.
00:35:31I hate them.
00:35:32It's so clear.
00:35:34I love it.
00:35:35Let's...
00:35:36Hey, Theo. I got your message about the delivery.
00:35:53My message said we should meet tomorrow morning.
00:35:55I know. I just wanted to see how all of our new old junk looked in the space.
00:36:02Plus, we have inspection in a couple days and I want everything to be perfect.
00:36:06So, let's get to it.
00:36:32Well, would your mother have liked it?
00:36:50She would have said to Agapo.
00:36:56What does that mean?
00:36:59I love it.
00:37:08So, this is an olive tree.
00:37:11I want to show you how to make olive oil.
00:37:16Oh, so we have to make it? We can't just buy it?
00:37:22I'm messing with you.
00:37:24You like doing that, don't you?
00:37:26Yes, I do.
00:37:28So, show me how it's done.
00:37:31Okay, let's get picking.
00:37:41Now, we're in soft.
00:37:45We what?
00:37:46We're in soft.
00:37:50Hey!
00:37:52The olive. We're in soft the olive.
00:37:56Even though that was nice, it's hot today.
00:37:59You liked it?
00:38:00Uh-huh.
00:38:01Now, Theo, don't you dare.
00:38:16This is a lot of work, isn't it?
00:38:18Sweat and tears are your way to say thank you to the olive oil.
00:38:21My yaya used to say that.
00:38:23Oh.
00:38:24Your mother's side or your father's side?
00:38:26Mother's.
00:38:27And she was from the island?
00:38:29Yes.
00:38:30Fourth generation.
00:38:32And your father was from Athens?
00:38:36Yes.
00:38:38And does he love food as much as your mother did?
00:38:42No.
00:38:43Not as much as her.
00:38:45I gotta show you something.
00:38:52Okay.
00:39:15Oh, yes, my dad was filled with me.
00:39:28Oh, yes, my dad was filled with me.
00:39:45Are you ready to get some ingredients?
00:39:52Is that how we're getting there?
00:39:55My faithful steed.
00:39:56Can it even hold two people?
00:40:01Of course.
00:40:15Here, try this.
00:40:24Olives and oranges are in season right now, so we could create a menu around these ingredients.
00:40:30How do olives and oranges go together?
00:40:33Okay.
00:40:35Imagine light as air white fish cooked with spicy green olive juice.
00:40:41Nectarines drizzled with honey, and olive oil cake topped with sweet-handed oranges.
00:40:51My stomach's growling just thinking about it.
00:40:56So what's that for?
00:40:58Your favorite, spanakopita.
00:41:01I thought you didn't want to make spanakopita because everyone serves it.
00:41:06There is a twist.
00:41:07First, I'm going to add amphisa olives and use kefalotiritis instead of feta.
00:41:13It's richer, bolder, and more vibrant.
00:41:15Do you want to help breast on the butter?
00:41:27Uh, sure.
00:41:36Not so fast.
00:41:37You want an even cold.
00:41:38There you go.
00:41:58Go ahead.
00:42:07Give it a try.
00:42:08Oh.
00:42:15Mm, Theo.
00:42:16Hold up.
00:42:18I know we're skipping around, but I want you to try my mother's lukeumathes while they're still warm.
00:42:23Nothing captures the memory of that time for me like this flavor.
00:42:37So, what do you think of everything?
00:42:41I think when word gets out about your food, people are going to be lining up and down the street just to get a table at the restaurant of Chef Theo Chrysadilopoulos.
00:42:49You got it.
00:42:50We are in business together, so I should probably know your name.
00:42:56So, Abby, this is how I would prepare a menu.
00:42:59Some stables, like the lukeumathes.
00:43:02The rest of the menu will be based on what I can find each day.
00:43:06This is phenomenal.
00:43:08Maybe have three options, just so people can choose based on their taste?
00:43:13I can do that.
00:43:14Okay.
00:43:15Let's figure out what those staples are.
00:43:18Let's get to work.
00:43:19Cheers.
00:43:21Cheers.
00:43:28So, tell me about the hotel.
00:43:33What do you want to know?
00:43:35I don't know.
00:43:37What's it like working there?
00:43:38If you can imagine it, it happens.
00:43:42Really?
00:43:43And some things that you can't, too.
00:43:45There was this one time a guy snuck three cockatiels into the hotel.
00:43:49They got loose on the 12th floor and it took us all night to try and catch them with a bed sheet.
00:43:53You got them?
00:43:54Yeah, eventually.
00:43:55But do you like it?
00:44:02The corporate side of things can be challenging, creatively speaking.
00:44:06But, yeah, I love it.
00:44:10I get that.
00:44:12Have you ever had a corporate job?
00:44:14Yes, I have, after college.
00:44:21Yes, that's part of what made me want to do this.
00:44:24It's something of my own, something I can really put my stamp on.
00:44:27And I want you to feel like this is your restaurant, too.
00:44:33It's your mother's restaurant.
00:44:36It was my mother's restaurant.
00:44:38But it was her parents' restaurant before that.
00:44:41Now it's ours.
00:44:43Well, that's a bit much.
00:44:45No, it's not.
00:44:46By choosing the antique items, the design,
00:44:49you're creating a feeling, an energy.
00:44:53We are making a real restaurant, Abby.
00:44:55Not something that gets you an interview and gets me a permit.
00:45:01Remember, I do have to go home after this.
00:45:05You're creating something that will outlast your visit.
00:45:11I like the sound of that.
00:45:15The sky is so clear.
00:45:18Every time I come back, I'm surprised by it all over again.
00:45:23There's no stars like this in Paris.
00:45:26Or New York.
00:45:30What was that?
00:45:32No way.
00:45:34What time was it?
00:45:36You don't want to know.
00:45:38Oh, did we stay up all night?
00:45:41Oh, I did.
00:45:42You don't want to know.
00:45:43I don't want to know.
00:45:43I don't want to know.
00:45:44I don't want to know.
00:45:44I don't want to know.
00:45:45I don't want to know.
00:45:45I don't want to know.
00:45:46I don't want to know.
00:45:46I don't want to know.
00:45:47I don't want to know.
00:45:47I don't want to know.
00:45:48I don't want to know.
00:45:48I don't want to know.
00:45:49I don't want to know.
00:45:49I don't want to know.
00:45:50I don't want to know.
00:45:51I don't want to know.
00:45:52I don't want to know.
00:45:53I don't want to know.
00:45:54I don't want to know.
00:45:55I don't want to know.
00:45:56I don't want to know.
00:45:57I don't want to know.
00:45:58I don't want to know.
00:45:59how's everything going with the restaurant pretty smoothly considering and with abby you two seem
00:46:20to be spending a lot of time together well that's usually what business partners do if business
00:46:26partners get romantic home-cooked meals i'm definitely in the wrong field it's all part of

00:46:38her you're a purpose yet no you know you're gonna have to tell her eventually i'm surprised no one
00:46:46else has so what do you think i try to keep a more classic feel to highlight the entertainment
00:46:56value yep it looks great have you gotten any interest yet uh quite a lot actually i think
00:47:03we should hold an open house and say that we'll be taking the highest and best offer afterwards
00:47:08that sounds great what about next saturday let me see oh it will conflict with theo's opening but i
00:47:16i think we can make it work theo's opening of the restaurant uh theo papas theo christodoulopoulos

00:48:37should know yeah it does
00:48:44you okay
00:48:46i mean as far as secrets go it could be a lot worse
00:48:49but knowing that your business partner is a billionaire could be quite useful
00:48:54maybe that's why he doesn't want you to know
00:49:00well i'm i'm sure he has his reasons but maybe i can get him to tell me himself
00:49:09anyway uh thank you for telling me mom

00:49:36okay katie this is crazy what am i what am i doing you know not for nothing but if you wanted
00:49:44restaurant experience on your resume opening a restaurant with a billionaire celebrity chef
00:49:49is pretty good i hadn't really thought about it that way
00:49:53abby look what just got in
00:50:04demitris
00:50:07uh don't worry i'm moving out of the villa tonight
00:50:11i heard you were reopening sophia's restaurant but didn't you want to believe it
00:50:15you left it vacant for a reason you know yeah because mom left it for me
00:50:20no because he could not bear to see anyone but sophia in that kitchen
00:50:27i also spent a lot of time in that kitchen pretty much every opportunity i got i was running around
00:50:33this restaurant helping
00:50:36theo
00:50:38you have already broken your father's heart by leaving the family business
00:50:42why do you not cause any further pain this was a family business too
00:50:47my mom would open the place every summer even after she got married into the papa's family
00:50:51it was her passion and what better way to honor her memory than for her son to continue that legacy
00:51:00he would understand if he came down here
00:51:04your father wants you back in athens at this point i think i've made myself clear
00:51:16and i suggest you reconsider
00:52:00Hi, Dimitris, I'm checking in on your progress with Theo.
00:52:16Theo has left the villa and they're planning an open house for the evening.
00:52:21Has he left Syros?
00:52:22No, not yet.
00:52:23Can I expect him home anytime soon?
00:52:25I just need some extra time to convince him.
00:52:31I'm counting on your Dimitris.
00:52:32Okay, so I have an idea.
00:52:55Are you sleeping here?
00:52:57Yes.
00:52:58I moved out of the villa last night.
00:53:01Theo.
00:53:03It's fine.
00:53:05What's your idea?
00:53:07Okay.
00:53:09Well, we treat the restaurant as an event, not just a meal.
00:53:14So initially, it's invite only, and we prepare a couple exclusive items each day.
00:53:19We let people talk to each other, and we grow by word of mouth.
00:53:24That's a great idea.
00:53:28What's wrong?
00:53:32How is this possible?
00:53:34To what?
00:53:35Show me.
00:53:36It says I owe ten years of city taxes before we can open.
00:53:41How much is it?
00:53:42Oh.
00:53:53We need to open in two days.
00:53:56I think you're going to have to bite the bullet and pay it.
00:53:58I mean, we can dispute it later and try and get a refund.
00:54:01I don't have that kind of money, Abby.
00:54:03Well, do you know anybody that does who could maybe loan it to us?
00:54:13No, I don't.
00:54:16Or at least not someone who would.
00:54:18Okay, well, um, you try and think of somebody, and I'll try and think of somebody that can help us, too.
00:54:31I've done some small fundraising, so we'll figure it out.
00:54:36Yes, thank you so much for taking my call.
00:54:47Yanni tells me that you have the best olive oil on the island.
00:54:51Yes.
00:54:53Well, we are opening up a restaurant this Saturday and looking for an investor for some last-minute expenses.
00:54:59Oh, I see.
00:55:05I'm sorry to hear that.
00:55:11Did I mention the chef is Theo Pappas?
00:55:17Yes, that Theo Pappas.
00:55:29Nice to see you.
00:55:35Nice to see you, too.
00:55:37This is Abby.
00:55:38Hi.
00:55:40Do you have this year's serifiotico ready?
00:55:42We just battled it.
00:55:43It's in the tasting room.
00:55:44Serifiotico?
00:55:45What?
00:55:46Serifiotico.
00:55:47It's a zero specialty.
00:55:48We make it using only our own grapes, and it's one of our bestsellers.
00:55:52Let's go to the tasting room.
00:55:55Thank you, Thomas.
00:55:59So, this is made in small batches from maverodafen grapes.
00:56:07It's different, but in a good way.
00:56:08You'll see what I mean.
00:56:13Okay.
00:56:14Reminds me of a port dessert wine.
00:56:17Spot on.
00:56:18It's full-bodied, sweet, bold, which is why you need a cheese too much.
00:56:24Something stinky.
00:56:25Stinky?
00:56:25The sweeter the wine, the stinkier the cheese.
00:56:28Here.
00:56:29Try company's tea, the Greek blue cheese.
00:56:35Okay, that works.
00:56:39Now, you're going to try Avustiathis.
00:56:46So, I think I found an investor to cover our costs.
00:56:49An investor?
00:56:50Yanni introduced us.
00:56:51They're going to cover our costs so that we can open up on time.
00:56:54What do they want from us?
00:56:55All they want is for us to exclusively serve their olive oil.
00:56:59Their olive oil?
00:57:00I know it's not the olive oil that you make, but it's good quality and they're willing to pay us to use it.
00:57:07I can agree to use an olive oil I haven't even tried.
00:57:10Olive oil is nearly never the same make.
00:57:12If we don't raise the money, then we can't open.
00:57:15At least try it.
00:57:17I mean, we have our own olive oil.
00:57:19We're going to have to make some compromises in order to make this work.
00:57:23Opening up a restaurant in two weeks is hard.
00:57:26There must be a different way to come up with the money.
00:57:34Okay.
00:57:35Well, then you tell me, Theo.
00:57:37What do you mean?
00:57:38I know that you're a papas.
00:57:42Here I am trying to raise money for your restaurant when secretly you're a billionaire pretending like you can't afford it.
00:57:48I'm not pretending, Abby.
00:57:49My family is rich.
00:57:50I'm not.
00:57:51There must be a different way to come up with it.
00:57:53Do you know how hard it is to get a sponsorship?
00:57:56The only way that I was able to do that was by using your name.
00:57:59You used my name to sell olive oil?
00:58:03No.
00:58:03I used your name to save our restaurant.
00:58:06I didn't say you could do that.
00:58:08No, of course you didn't.
00:58:09You didn't even tell me your name.
00:58:12I had to find out myself.
00:58:14I was going to tell you, I just...
00:58:17I want you to get to know me for who I really am.
00:58:23You know, I...
00:58:24This whole thing was a mistake.
00:58:30Yeah.
00:58:30Maybe there was.
00:58:33Maybe there was.
00:58:38Okay.
00:58:40Well, the olive oil and the check are being delivered tomorrow afternoon.
00:58:44So you can either cash it or...
00:58:46figure out something on your own.
00:58:51Good luck.
00:58:52I don't do this.
00:59:16You've got to be kidding me.
00:59:17Please, please, Wi-Fi.
00:59:22Wi-Fi.
00:59:24Live and large.
00:59:25Live and large.
00:59:27That must be you.
00:59:28Okay.
00:59:29Okay, okay.
00:59:31Please no password.
00:59:32Please no password.
00:59:32Please no password.
00:59:34Yes.
00:59:35Okay.
00:59:35Hello, Abby.
00:59:40Hi, Thomas.
00:59:41I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:59:43The Wi-Fi is down all over the island.
00:59:45I actually had to borrow some from a nearby ship.
00:59:48Resourceful, where are you?
00:59:50I'm in Greece.
00:59:52Our grand opening is actually tonight.
00:59:55Congratulations.
00:59:57Our concept is an elevated farm-to-table experience.
01:00:01Our chef is actually somewhat of a local celebrity, Theo Pappas.
01:00:06He's not known in the culinary world yet,
01:00:08but I've been able to leverage his name recognition in order to build a brand.
01:00:11Well, that does sound very impressive.
01:00:13I think you'd fit right in here.
01:00:14Branding is what we're all about.
01:00:26This is the private line of Nicholas Pappas.
01:00:32Leave a message and I will return your call.
01:00:35Hi, Dad.
01:00:36I know our last conversation didn't end on the best note, but...
01:00:41I want to talk to you about something important.
01:00:46It's...
01:00:47Cloudman.
01:00:52I know this may be hard to hear,
01:00:54but this past couple of weeks
01:00:56I've been fixing up Mom's restaurant.
01:01:00It's been my dream since I went to the culinary school.
01:01:03Well, I didn't expect it to happen so fast.
01:01:08I know you don't approve my curry choices,
01:01:11but our grand opening is tomorrow,
01:01:13and it would mean a lot if you came.
01:01:17I'll hold the table for you just in case.
01:01:20You know the one.
01:01:21Anyway, gotta go.
01:01:22I love you, Dad.
01:01:36Oh my gosh, that's fantastic.
01:01:40And when do you need to know, Bai?
01:01:44Okay, great.
01:01:45I'll give you a call.
01:01:49Okay, bye.
01:01:49Bye.
01:01:50And, good news?
01:01:56I got the job.
01:01:57Oh, I thought that was happening.
01:01:59Tell us all about it.
01:02:00When does it start?
01:02:01Next week.
01:02:02Are you going to take it?
01:02:03I mean, I should.
01:02:04The salary is great.
01:02:05I would have more responsibility.
01:02:08You don't sound too excited.
01:02:10No, I am.
01:02:12It's a great opportunity.
01:02:14I'm just still processing.
01:02:17But?
01:02:18No buts.
01:02:20No buts.
01:02:21This is...
01:02:22This is the job that I wanted.
01:02:24Actually, it's...
01:02:25It's better than the job that I wanted.
01:02:28I'm just...
01:02:29In New York, I was...
01:02:31Just a faceless assistant manager.
01:02:34And here, the restaurant feels so personal.
01:02:38Creative.
01:02:38Well, whatever you choose to do, I support you.
01:02:45Thanks, Mom.
01:02:55Aw, Abby.
01:02:56I'm so excited for you.
01:02:59It'll be like you never left.
01:03:00Only better.
01:03:01I'm so excited.
01:03:31I'm so excited.
01:04:01Tio?
01:04:22No.
01:04:27No.
01:04:31Thank you for coming.
01:04:37Of course I came.
01:04:40We have the inspection tomorrow.
01:04:44I don't think we'd pass like this.
01:04:49I'm sorry for the olive oil thing.
01:04:53I should have checked with you first.
01:04:55No.
01:04:57I'm sorry I overreacted.
01:05:00Well you haven't gone and hired a new manager yet, have you?
01:05:03Well, I thought about it.
01:05:07But then I cussed the check.
01:05:10Okay.
01:05:12Well, then are you ready for some repairs?
01:05:16There's still no one else.
01:05:18I'd rather have them aside.
01:05:20Well, there's no place else I would rather be.
01:05:30Is that my lamp?
01:05:32We're burning the midnight hill.
01:05:34Okay, try it now.
01:05:52I'm afraid to breathe.
01:05:54I think we fixed it.
01:05:57I've never passed a ceiling before.
01:06:07You're a quick learner.
01:06:09We make a good team.
01:06:11We do.
01:06:13Search bills.
01:06:22It's dawn.
01:06:24We did it again, didn't we?
01:06:26We did.
01:06:28Well, today's the big day.
01:06:33You ready?
01:06:35Yeah.
01:06:37I need to get to the market and start looking for the ingredients.
01:06:41You?
01:06:42I'm gonna go to the wood shop, pick up our sign, and then I'll meet you back here for the inspector.
01:06:49No.
01:06:51You need to take a trip with me.
01:06:54What do you have in mind?
01:06:56You'll see.
01:06:57I'm not sure we have time for a trip, Theo.
01:07:00We do.
01:07:01It's essential.
01:07:02Okay.
01:07:03What is it?
01:07:18Wow.
01:07:21Theo, what is this place?
01:07:23An ancient amphitheater.
01:07:26It was built in the 6th century BC.
01:07:29It gives you a whole different perspective on time.
01:07:32It's like our own private ruin.
01:07:35This is where I go when I want to be alone or I need to think.
01:07:40I mean, it's incredible, but why did you bring me here?
01:07:46Well, it feels kind of silly now.
01:07:50You can tell me.
01:07:52Okay.
01:07:54I started coming here at the end of the summer every year as a kid,
01:07:58before I had to go back to Athens.
01:08:00I would stand right in the middle and imagine the energy that people had focused on that spot over the centuries.
01:08:07And I would make a wish.
01:08:09Thought it was good luck.
01:08:10I don't really believe it, but I still do it.
01:08:15It's like my lucky shoes.
01:08:19Come make a wish with me.
01:08:21Let's do it.
01:08:22Let's do it.
01:08:40Do you feel it?
01:08:42Mm-hmm.
01:08:43Did you make a wish?
01:08:47I did.
01:08:48Good.
01:08:49Now we can start.
01:08:51Sorry.
01:08:52I'm late.
01:08:53Tio, what's wrong?
01:08:56We didn't pass the inspection.
01:08:58What?
01:08:59We fixed everything.
01:09:00My father must have paid some enough.
01:09:01We can cook here, but we can't serve.
01:09:02We're finished.
01:09:03Okay, um.
01:09:04Let me think.
01:09:05Okay, um, let me think.
01:09:06Let me think.
01:09:07What?
01:09:08I'm sorry.
01:09:09You are sorry.
01:09:10I'm sorry.
01:09:11I'm sorry.
01:09:12I'm sorry.
01:09:13I'm sorry.
01:09:14I'm sorry.
01:09:15I'm sorry.
01:09:16I'm sorry.
01:09:17I'm sorry.
01:09:18I'm sorry.
01:09:19I'm sorry.
01:09:20What's wrong?
01:09:21some enough. We can cook here, but we can't serve. We're finished. Okay, um, let me think.
01:09:32I never should have called him. Do you really think he would have done this to you?
01:09:36When we're this close? I suppose not. It's different than the villa. He wouldn't do it.
01:09:42The villa. That's it. What? We can set up tables at the villa and open there. Everything what is here?
01:09:53Okay, then you prepare the food here and I'll drive it up. If I don't serve, I'll lose the zoning.
01:10:02We can fix that later. What if we can't? Then we fail and we're no worse off than we are right now.
01:10:09We're opening this restaurant. Hey mom, are you here? Abby, is everything okay?
01:10:19Mom, I have a huge favor to ask you. What's that? I know the open house is tonight, but our restaurant
01:10:26didn't pass the inspection for some made-up reason and we need some place to open. We were thinking
01:10:33of opening here. Open here? What? No, listen, it's perfect. Okay, we prepared the food at the
01:10:38restaurant and drive it up. We'll cater the open house. The restaurant guests can either eat
01:10:42downstairs or on the patio. I mean, you said yourself that you wanted to showcase how this place could
01:10:48be shown for entertainment, right? It's perfect. Abby. Well, I love it. Well, Theo, is the papa's right?
01:10:58He is. And I can't say no to one of the owners.
01:11:28You left the table by the window, right? It's up for your dad and your dad only. Thank you, Abby.
01:11:47And here we have a beautiful 1920s antique chandeliers. Heated flooring.
01:12:04Mmm, it's very delicious. It's very delicious. Thank you.
01:12:23Enjoy.
01:12:23I want to love ongolay and one more dakosa table five. Coming right up.
01:12:32I'll call you back. Dimitris, welcome. Everything is going beautifully.
01:12:58Jackie, what's going on here?
01:13:00Didn't Theo tell you?
01:13:14How's it going?
01:13:16Everybody is raving about the food.
01:13:22Has my dad come?
01:13:26I'm sorry, Theo.
01:13:26Anyway, take those before they get cool.
01:13:30Okay.
01:13:30I'm sorry, too.
01:13:31Thanks.
01:13:33Thank you, sir.
01:13:39Thanks, everybody.
01:13:40Bye.
01:13:46Bye.
01:13:47Bye.
01:13:47Bye.
01:13:47Bye.
01:13:48Bye.
01:13:48Bye.
01:13:49Bye.
01:13:51Bye.
01:13:52Bye.
01:13:54Bye.
01:13:56Bye.
01:13:56Bye.
01:13:56Bye.
01:13:58Bye.
01:13:58Bye.
01:13:59Bye.
01:13:59Yanni, thank you so much for your help tonight.
01:14:19I don't think we could have done any of this without you.
01:14:22My mom's very lucky she met you.
01:14:29Tonight was a huge success.
01:14:39More than if we had just had an open house alone.
01:14:41I'm sure the villa would sell.
01:14:43Oh, we've already gotten several offers, including one well above asking price.
01:14:47Well, I guess it's done.
01:14:48Jackie, thank you very much.
01:14:59Well, we did it.
01:15:09I always dreamed of having a restaurant.
01:15:12But in the back of my mind, I doubted that a night like this would ever come.
01:15:16I know this may not work, and I might lose the zoning here, but it doesn't seem like
01:15:23a failure to me.
01:15:26This night was truly special.
01:15:30Well, I'm honored to have been a part of it.
01:15:33I don't know what's next for us, but I want you to know that I like everything about
01:15:46you, Abby.
01:15:48The time we spent together has been some of the best time of my entire life.
01:15:52Getting to the opening night was hard, but I think I made it harder so I could spend some
01:16:02time more with you.
01:16:06This might sound crazy, but I've even started to imagine what...
01:16:09I got a job offer.
01:16:13You did?
01:16:17When?
01:16:18They called yesterday.
01:16:19I didn't even know you had the interview.
01:16:27I think I'm going to accept it.
01:16:29It starts in a week in New York.
01:16:34Is that what you want to do?
01:16:38It's what I have to do.
01:16:40Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm never going to leave.
01:16:45Would that be so bad?
01:16:46This isn't the life that I envisioned for myself, Theo.
01:16:51It's time for me to go home.
01:16:56I'm afraid of you.
01:17:00Of what?
01:17:02Running the restaurant alone.
01:17:04My father is adding it down.
01:17:06Failing.
01:17:07I'm mostly afraid of losing you.
01:17:22We both knew that this moment would come.
01:17:29I don't know what to say.
01:17:31I leave in the morning.
01:17:32I leave in the morning.
01:17:32You don't need to say anything.
01:17:54I've never been very good at goodbyes.
01:17:55I don't know what to say.
01:18:09Am I too late to eat?
01:18:14You're right on time.
01:18:17Let me show you to your table, Mr. Papas.
01:18:25Here you go.
01:18:29Oh, yes.
01:18:31I know this part well.
01:18:34Thank you for coming.
01:18:37It means a world to Theo.
01:18:55Your mother's recipe.
01:19:25You know, Theo, I haven't been back here since your mother passed away.
01:19:36I know.
01:19:38I almost didn't come.
01:19:40I know you want me to...
01:19:41Not because of that.
01:19:43I didn't want to risk the memories I have of this place.
01:19:48Of her in it.
01:19:49I was afraid that coming here and seeing it again might make them fade away.
01:19:59Might replace them.
01:20:01But I'm trying to do the opposite of that.
01:20:04I see that.
01:20:05Now.
01:20:07And you're right.
01:20:08You are sharing what she loved with others.
01:20:13You made the right decision, Theo.
01:20:15Well, this may have been the finest meal I've ever had.
01:20:22Thank you, Dad.
01:20:25I brought you something.
01:20:36Mom's recipes.
01:20:37There's no better place to serve them than here.
01:20:42About the restaurant.
01:20:43And call the inspector tomorrow.
01:20:46Dimitri seems confident that everything will be okay this time.
01:20:50I've made the window.
01:20:52There's no better place to serve them.
01:20:59Remember, I'll start there.
01:21:12Goodbye.
01:21:15Goodbye.
01:21:18How did you do those?
01:21:18I don't know.
01:21:48I don't know.
01:22:18I don't know.
