I want to see you after

we bring democracy.

You promised everyone

something different.

What can I do?

Everyone gets something.

Isn't it always

that way in life?

Have you ever seen

anyone get everything?

What you get, as is with truth,

is always in the middle.

Your Chief doesn't do that,

he wants to go forward.

I'm trying to help him.

In my own way.

They locked me in my room.

Let's get out of here.

No.

You'll be the Godfather?

You'll read the speech?

Is this what you want?

Then don't do it!

By the time democracy gets here

all the hedgehogs will be dead!

Welcome, boy!

My young man!

Good work, the kid.

Do you renounce Satan?

- I renounce.

- Louder.

- Do you renounce Satan?

- I renounce!

Your name shall be hope,

in the name of the father...

...and of the son...

...and of the holy spirit.

Amen.

Excellent, the Godfather!

Long live!

A worthy Godfather!

Long life to our fellow man!

Your father's message.

They're waiting.

And now, Mr. Alex...

...our worthy fellow-man...

...and our Chief's son...

...will read his message.

What happened to the boy?

Nothing happened. He'll say it

by heart, like he's supposed to.

Of course!

I came to Crete for democracy.

For democracy to come

to our country.

Because, in a democracy...

everybody's allowed to live...

he who walks fast...

he who walks slow...

even he who walks

really really slow...

like Pano's hedgehogs.

Long live democracy!

Maybe he isn't the son.

His ways are different.

You fooled us, Panagaki.

He'll read the message!

He'll read the message,

he's our Chief's son.

Erotokritos and digenis,

kornaros and venizelos...

all were born in Crete

yet very different fellows.

Likewise our leader and his son

are not at all the same...

yet fight for one big cause

democracy by name.

The evil eye, it's upon him!

Help me!

I'm with you.

I have to hand it to you.

Finally, our votes.

This is the moment

for democracy.

Can I lift you?

Lift me?

What for?

To see if I can.

- I'm heavier than the baby.

- I know.

Farewell, young man,

have a good trip.

Farewell, darling.

I'll be back.

I'm the Godfather.

I, Sifalios,

son of Sifi Sifaka...

...want to offer our Chief:

A liver, a heart, two lungs,

a kidney and a leg.

Not the right one,

it's damaged.

I'll pay the doctor, to remove

them and give them to him.

Where's that vile creature?

Go to bloody hell,

and don't come back!

The votes, what happened?

You've learned the language,

but you didn't read the speech.

Why didn't you?

What will you tell my father?

What do you want me to say?

The truth.

Alex, I must say

you're a brave boy.

Welcome.

Can we be left alone?

They told me you did well.
