They tell me to say no;

0:00:33.000,0:00:36.000
but I don't even say that.

0:00:36.000,0:00:38.000
That is my last word.

0:00:55.040,0:00:59.320
We fetched him from over there,[br]We saved him... (speak up, jerk).

0:01:03.680,0:01:07.240
We fetched him from over there,[br]We saved him...

0:01:09.440,0:01:12.320
We fetched him from over there,[br]We saved him...

0:01:12.320,0:01:15.880
We fetched him from over there,[br]We saved him...

0:01:16.160,0:01:19.720
We fetched him from over there,[br]We saved him...

0:01:21.720,0:01:26.120
Ever since they brought him here...[br]he doesn't leave his house all day.

0:01:27.480,0:01:29.160
All day.

0:01:30.360,0:01:34.200
In the evening he comes to my bar,[br]sits down and plays the Lyra.

0:01:35.160,0:01:37.720
He sings along, but doesn't talk...

0:01:39.000,0:01:42.720
He doesn't talk, not at all.[br]He just plays and doesn't talk...

0:01:45.720,0:01:48.360
He is the best Lyra player in Crete.

0:01:48.600,0:01:51.440
He plays his Lyra, but he doesn't talk...

0:01:53.240,0:01:56.400
I don't say anything...[br]I don't say anything, I don't talk.

0:01:57.080,0:01:59.600
I don't say anything... I don't talk...

0:01:59.960,0:02:03.000
No, I don't say anything,[br]absolutely nothing I say.

0:02:56.720,0:03:00.160
Frankly, I don't understand[br]what was wrong with him...

0:03:00.560,0:03:03.640
The fact is, he must have been eating[br]cactus, tomatoes, thistles...

0:03:05.360,0:03:08.240
and lizards, as well, for sure.

0:03:08.240,0:03:11.520
Although almost nothing of these[br]lizards was found...

0:03:12.080,0:03:14.960
still when the police officers came to fetch him,

0:03:14.960,0:03:17.840
they found a lot of heads chopped off...

0:03:17.840,0:03:21.080
therefore they knew,[br]that he must have been eating lizards.

0:03:22.560,0:03:26.560
I picked him up with the boat...[br]sure he's been eating lizards...

0:03:27.360,0:03:31.200
I picked him up with the boat...[br]sure he's been eating lizards...

0:03:31.200,0:03:35.200
I picked him up with the boat...[br]sure he's been eating lizards...

0:03:36.640,0:03:40.480
Strange, just how he managed[br]to remain all alone on that island there.

0:03:40.480,0:03:43.480
Venetians, Saracens,[br]and Turkish went off

0:03:44.080,0:03:48.240
and when the lepers were brought away,[br]only he remained on that island.

0:04:00.880,0:04:05.120
When the last lepers were gone,[br]his relatives had him placed under disability...

0:04:06.320,0:04:08.960
and had him taken away with force.

0:04:09.800,0:04:13.320
They sent the police officers[br]to have him fetched...

0:04:14.600,0:04:18.480
It was difficult but eventually[br]they brought him over to us...

0:04:19.399,0:04:21.519
to a proper life.

0:04:28.720,0:04:32.240
On Spinalonga all the houses used to be[br]half-ruined already back then

0:04:34.400,0:04:37.480
Even the hospital[br]never worked properly.

0:06:39.480,0:06:43.920
The only thing still in working order on Spinalonga[br]was an old electricity generator...

0:06:45.240,0:06:49.240
they built a hospital but[br]there wasn't even constant water...

0:06:49.720,0:06:51.640
but just cisterns.

0:06:51.640,0:06:53.800
Simply no organisation.

0:06:58.120,0:07:00.720
Everybody just came here to die.

0:07:01.920,0:07:04.880
And everybody knew they would die in here.

0:07:08.160,0:07:11.280
At this moment,[br]as I stand before this camera...

0:07:13.920,0:07:16.880
this old man might already be dead.

0:07:18.720,0:07:21.520
There's a lot of stories like this one.

0:07:26.080,0:07:28.000
Good day, how are you?

0:07:28.000,0:07:29.920
Good day, how are you?

0:07:29.920,0:07:31.840
Good day, how are you?

0:07:31.840,0:07:34.080
Good day, how are you?

0:07:42.400,0:07:44.120
(Speak up, jerk)

0:07:49.120,0:07:51.760
We were supposed to say it again.

0:07:52.000,0:07:55.480
We fetched him from over there,[br]We saved him.

0:08:02.920,0:08:05.680
When the last Turkish fled from the island...

0:08:06.760,0:08:10.240
he jumped off a cliff into the sea[br]following the others.

0:08:11.560,0:08:14.520
On that rock[br]he left a foot print.

0:08:16.360,0:08:20.200
And our people built a shrine[br]and a chapel in that place.

0:08:21.160,0:08:23.920
When the last Turkish fled from the island...

0:08:25.960,0:08:29.440
he jumped off a cliff into the sea[br]following the others.

0:08:29.800,0:08:32.760
On that rock[br]he left a foot print.

0:08:34.600,0:08:38.440
And our people built a shrine[br]and a chapel in that place.

0:08:41.320,0:08:44.080
When the last Turkish fled from the island...

0:08:44.840,0:08:48.320
he jumped off a cliff into the sea[br]following the others.

0:08:49.960,0:08:52.920
On that rock[br]he left a foot print.

0:08:53.800,0:08:57.640
And our people built a shrine[br]and a chapel in that place.

0:09:01.160,0:09:04.240
When they came to fetch the old man with force...

0:09:04.800,0:09:07.800
he said:[br]What could you possibly do to me...

0:09:11.440,0:09:14.240
when I have an entire fleet behind me?

0:09:20.560,0:09:23.720
Yet his ships[br]were only carved into the rock.

0:09:25.960,0:09:27.680
Such bullshit!

0:09:28.840,0:09:32.280
Somehow he wasn't quite alright in his head.

0:09:33.600,0:09:36.160
There is no other explanation.

0:09:36.480,0:09:38.440
He used to be all alone, anyway.

0:09:39.240,0:09:42.040
As a physician[br]I have a lot of experience with that.

0:09:43.080,0:09:46.000
For example there used to be this leper...

0:09:47.880,0:09:50.600
he had no legs anymore[br]beginning from here...

0:09:51.720,0:09:54.440
and a woman who had no arms anymore.

0:09:55.560,0:09:57.480
They kept carrying each other around.

0:09:57.480,0:10:00.400
Out of pure necessity[br]they were leading a marriage.

0:10:01.320,0:10:03.240
Yet I do have to confirm to you,

0:10:03.240,0:10:06.440
that lepers have a distinct sex life.

0:10:07.080,0:10:09.960
One by one the man was losing his fingers, too.

0:10:09.960,0:10:12.440
Eventually he only had two left.

0:10:12.840,0:10:16.640
His last word was: I'm losing these, too[br]... then he died.

0:11:46.960,0:11:48.760
I don't say anything...

0:11:48.880,0:11:52.720
Absolutely nothing. What am I supposed to tell you?[br]I just don't want to.

0:11:52.720,0:11:54.520
I don't say anything...

0:11:57.520,0:12:00.040
I don't say anything... nothing at all.

0:12:01.360,0:12:03.360
I just don't talk.

0:12:04.240,0:12:06.280
No, I don't say anything...

0:12:16.720,0:12:20.040
I'm telling you once more:[br]that is my last word.

0:12:20.560,0:12:23.320
I don't talk, that is my last word.

0:12:23.440,0:12:25.240
I don't say anything...

0:12:32.080,0:12:34.200
That is my last word.

0:12:35.200,0:12:45.200
