Somewhere in the mountains of Greece, the
0:03
country's most wanted man is
0:05
on the run. We hear
0:07
a barag of shots, bang
0:10
bang bang. He's robbed
0:13
at least fifteen banks, kidnapped
0:16
two multi millionaires, and he's
0:18
escaped prison five times on foot,
0:21
twice by helicopter. And
0:23
even though this dude carries a machine gun, he's
0:26
never actually shot anywhere. His
0:29
name is Vasili's Palio Costas,
0:31
and to many Greeks he's
0:34
a hero. Costas
0:38
has given a lot of money to
0:40
poor people. Like hate to steal a car from
0:42
a village, I'm returning it with a bag of cash
0:45
on the sea. For fourteen years,
0:47
this modern day Robin Hood has been evading
0:50
authorities and charming villagers.
0:53
I would not say anything,
0:56
but if he's alive, he
0:58
must be living well. Now
1:04
we're hunting for the man behind the legend,
1:07
traveling to remote corners of grease, tracking
1:10
down his accomplices, and working our
1:12
way into his inner circle. If
1:14
somebody was running from the low, would they come here?
1:16
Do you think yes? Because it's a place
1:18
without the policy. I feel nervous
1:21
now. This is the story
1:23
of Greece's most famous outlaw.
1:26
It's the story of a corrupt system he's fighting
1:28
against and running from.
1:31
They say, no matter what
1:33
happens, you'll never
1:35
find them. I'm Miles Gray.
