They stole him.

Not our people.

- The ones that hit me?

- Of course!

An army was chasing him!

They ran upwards!

From here on,

we go upwards!

They do that here.

When they're happy, bang!

When they're sad, bang!

Except if it's for us!

This is Pano's hide out.

I'm sure he did the deed.

He took him to the devil's nest.

But he can't fool me,

I can sniff him out!

No one will find us.

This is my hide out.

My father calls it

the devil's nest.

I put the young ones here.

And when they get big,

I set them free...

...and my father kills them.

When I like something,

he hates it on purpose.

What doesn't your dad like?

This one will make it.

They're coming from everywhere.

They'll see us!

He'll kill all of them!

He'll kill them all...

there's the boy.

Thank god almighty!

Who stole you, son?

Tell us, we'll get them!

Tell us, why did you leave

without saying anything?

- Did Panos bring you here?

- Not Panos.

Listen, villagers!

The boy told me everything!

We were right!

He was stolen!

He was stolen,

but not by men.

The beauty of Crete

stole him.

- Enough!

- Enough?

Go with Fountedakis

and whatever you promised him.

What are you saying?

Our Chief is counting on you.

Our Chief is counting on you.

Don't listen to Manedakis.

Don't listen to Fountedakis.

I'm throwing dust in his eyes.

It's just a game.

We'll be together from now on!

See how wrong you were?

Nobody stole him.

If democracy doesn't come,

everything's wrong.

It's our only goal.

Come on, young man.

Let's go home.

Let's go home

and get you rested.

Stop it!

He's like Panagos,

not like his father.

Listen, boy...

did you learn it?

You and me,

will learn it together.

I don't want to be

the Godfather.

This is a problem.

Remember what you told me

when you got to Crete?

That you must

be the Godfather...

...and that you must

read the speech...

...and that you're

little but strong?

You have a duty,

and you can't back out.

I can't be the Godfather.

There's no such thing as "can't".

Only "I don't want to".

Do you want democracy

to come to this land?

For us not to be scared,

not to be chased...

...not to be afraid

to go through the square...

...not to be like scared

animals, like Moustakas...

...no one stepping on us,

to live with dignity?

Do you want democracy, Alex?

It's in your hands.

Should I help you?

Are you sure?

The difficult, noble...

dear friends, together we start

the difficult, noble work...

to build!

To build a country

that's governed...

that's governed by the people.

We want Greece

to belong to the Greeks.

Long live democracy!

For democracy...

this time we're getting close.

For democracy.
