| 0:00.0 | Deep in the mountains of Greece, the country's most-wanted man has been on the run for over a decade. |
| 0:07.0 | He's a bank robber, a kid napper, but to many Greeks, he's a hero. |
| 0:13.7 | His name is Vasili Spaliokostas and we're on the trail of the man behind the men, a modern-day Robin Hood |
