- Where's Gemito ? - I dunno !
That son of a bitch even dumped my daughter !
Talk or I'll fuck up your other leg.
You could invest in Sardinia,
in safe land.
The money flew to Switzerland in the fall
and came back like birds in the spring.
A heap of dough.
People from Milan.
- How much of an investment ? - A 10 digit figure.
But you have to handle the deal in Sardinia,
we gotta breathe down their necks.
No deals for now, we can't leave Rome.
Profit will increase 300°/% in no time.
We gotta avenge Lebanese, right ?
Revenge is a noble sentiment, but try doing both things.
Gemito comes first.
He's been missing for months, let it go.
He made a bad move, you'll get revenge in time.
You're shedding lots of blood, too much.
Believe me, too much is the enemy of fair.
I don't give a shit about fair.
It's impolite to speak that way to a white-haired man,
as if to say my words aren't worth shit.
Gimme a break.
- Relax. - I'm outta here.
Where are you goin' ?
Uncle Carlo,
he didn't mean to disrespect...
but we never had a family like yours
that tells us what's right and wrong.
We're from the streets, we want in on the deal.
All right.
How long have you been here ?
A half hour.
Come here.
I've been waiting for you.
I'm takin' you out of here.
- Freeze ! - You're breakin' my arm.
Piece of shit !
What am I accused of ?
Attempted homicide,
kidnapping, and arson.
Search the house.
I get it,
the gas station guy said it was you, you say he's wrong.
I don't care about him.
Let me tell you a story.
- A fairytale ? - No, a real story.
It begins in Bologna and ends in Novellara.
August 2nd, the day of the massacre.
That day you rented a car from Bologna to Rome.
We found a suit you bought near the train station.
The clerk recalled selling it to a dusty man
who said it was a miracle he survived.
Why the fuck were you in Bologna ?
I was waitin' for a client who was buyin' a place in Rome.
I even helped pull people out of the rubble.
- Is that a crime ? - No, it's not.
Novara, Novellara... I've never been there.
We found an unidentified corpse in Novellara.
I say he died because he knew something important.
I know it wasn't you,
because you were in Rome early in the afternoon.
But whoever did it used your guns, a Walter P38.
''Your'' guns ?
Your gang's guns.
I knew this was a fairytale !
Did you put this on the record ?
Will it be much longer ?
'Cause fairytales bore me to death.
Shithead !
85 dead and 200 wounded sounds like a fairytale to you ?
Bologna wasn't a gang thing, it was yours.
Quit bustin' my balls and go look at the Ministry,
or right upstairs.
Maybe you'll find the bomb timer says ''ltalian Republic''.
What the fuck are you saying ?
Here we go !
This is Lebanese's.
Remember it ? You were buddy-buddy with him.
Look here.
Where the fuck is it ?
August 2nd, what's it say ?
''Novellara, pay back'', what's that mean ?
It means ''leave the dead in peace''.
Do you leave them in peace ?
Aren't you searching for Lebanese's killer to get him back ?
- I don't get what you're sayin'. - No, you don't.
You're looking at 20 years in prison,
and with a pretty girl like yours, it would be a real pity.
lf you don't talk, you'll forget what she looks like.
Commissioner...
I never even confessed to God, why would I confess to you ?
Look at you !
- Look at the shape you're in ! - Never mind.
- Lemme see your arm. - Never mind.
Tell Dandy these guys don't have jack on us.
- He's gotta get me an alibi. - All right.
I saw Roberta.
She left me the keys to your place and left.
- What'd she say ? - Nothin'.
She saw the papers, the TV,
they said lots of trash about you, Lebanese...
She got scared.
- Did she say where she's goin' ? - She didn't say anythin'.
- Remember to do what I asked. - Okay.
Don't be an ass.
I'll try.
Well ?
Nothing to say ?
You're aiding ltaly's most ferocious gang,
with dozens of deaths.
Do you realize it ?
You can't hold me for false testimony.
My lawyer's already pressing charges.
You weren't with Ice that night, he's in love with his girlfriend.
People don't just come to me to make love.
- Then why ? - They come to get dirty.
Did Dandy ask you to come ? You're Ice's alibi.
Will you kill for them next time ?
- Bitch. - Fuck you !
Free yourself of Dandy once and for all.
Just admit he sent you here,
I'll lock him up and you'll be free.
I make men dream,
not die in a four-wall cell.
When did it happen ?
I see, in a clinic.
lnform the judge.
- The lady... - Let her in.
- How was your night in jail ? - Fine.
Always fine...
You can go.
Sign.
Don't look at me,
I'm a mess.
You're never a mess.
- Did he believe you ? - Yes.
Good job, baby.
I'm your whore, not your alibi.
- Do I treat you like a whore ? - No, but you bought me.
- What are you sayin' ? - I know.
- Listen... - I don't want to listen.
What're you lookin' at ? I'm handsome, huh ?
I know lots of guys like you: superficial, ignorant, heartless.
Maybe you're in deep shit by accident,
but I know you don't like it.
- Are you done ? - Yes.
Can I get a cigarette ?
Never mind.
You're free this time.
Someone you know, Patrizia, said you were with her.
I can't prove it's not true.
You're a killer and a drug trafficker,
that dust is just merchandise to you.
Dickheads who shoot up, right ?
- What do you know about them ? - More fairytales...
Fairytales.
But you know one of them for sure, your brother Gigio.
They found him with the needle still in his arm.
Sign and get lost.
No point in rushing, Gigio didn't wait for you !
It's your fault he's dead.
- He wanted to be like you. - Get off !
He wanted to be like you !
Close that door.
I'm takin' you outta here, I won't leave you here.
I'm takin' you home.
Sorry about Gigio,
I'll find out who his dealer was, I swear.
I got some important news,
Uncle Carlo found Gemito for us.
What do you wanna do ?
- Can I have some sambuca ? - Right away, honey.
With milk ?
- The spoon ? - It's already stirred.
Go take a look.
Dandy, give us a hand !
Where are you ?
- Who'd Lebanese come here with ? - Dunno.
He said he liked the silence.
Were these books his ?
- They're still wrapped. - Maybe he bought them in bulk.
Ever look someone in the eyes after you shoot him ?
I have, it's like they take off their mask.
A worthless guy becomes bold,
a brave guy cries, a godless guy prays.
Wonder how we'll be when it's our turn ?
Ice !
You're here.
How's it goin' ?
Nobody followed me, I was careful.
Scialoja's got the special treatment planned for me,
he may hate you, but he hates me more.
- He thinks I was at Gemito's too. - What an ass !
- It didn't seem like you were there. - Is that supposed to be funny ?
Then tell me why you didn't shoot when the cops showed up.
Shootin' cops is bad luck.
They were wipin' us out and you just took off.
When I took off you were already on Aldo's bike
and the others got snagged, it was pointless to play the hero.
That's a crock of shit.
Get your hands off me !
You didn't give a fuck about avengin' Lebanese.
Here we go again.
Let go of the past and start thinkin' about the future.
You can't erase the past, so leave the dead in peace.
Is that Uncle Carlo's line ?
He's got you trained like a poodle.
What'd you say ?
Everything's fallin' to hell,
lemme show you what's happenin'.
- What's this ? - Lebanese's accounts.
The sums don't match up with Slim's.
- So ? - So, he's a vulture.
- You wanna kill him too ? - You handle him, got it ?
- You can make up for last time. - You're paranoid.
- You backin' out ? - No, I'll kill Slim.
While you're here decidin' who lives or dies,
the others are cashin' in.
- Huh ? - They cut the heroin even more.
They sell the rest and pocket it,
that's why kids like Gigio die.
- Gimme names ! - Aldo Buffoni.
No fuckin' way !
Not Aldo.
We went dancin' last night.
- Up all night, huh ? - You know how it is...
Damn, I'm winded from walkin' uphill.
- You can't hack it, huh ? - Nope !
- But you manage to dance. - Why don't you come too ?
- We'd have a blast. - Right on.
Lemme rest, that hill killed me.
Look what I bought myself.
The stuff inside is killer, want a hit ?
You don't get it.
Get what ?
Have a hit.
- Hey ! - You don't get it.
- What'd I do ? - You resold our stuff on your own.
You don't get it.
I swear...
Look at me.
I made a mistake, I know.
Let's consider it a loan, I'll pay it back.
I knew this would happen !
I knew it...
I'm supposed to trust friends like you ?
It won't happen again, I'll pay back every last cent.
Everyone knows what you did.
Right, but me and you shared everythin' in prison,
cold, heat, hunger, lice.
I wanted to tell you who gave the stuff to your brother,
Rat did.
I'll take care of him if you want.
Want me to go to Brazil with Sonia and disappear ?
What should I do ?
Go to Brazil with Sonia,
but don't ever come back, got it ?
You gotta disappear forever.
Yeah, forever. Hug me.
Gimme a kiss then piss off.
My smile can chop up guys like you
more than this can.
The light bulb finally went on in here.
There was no way Lebanese drained his bank account.
You did it.
Where should I start ?
I'll chop off a hand, a foot,
or that thing you only use to piss ?
You won't find another who moves money like me.
Oh really ?
I should've told you, but Ice was there...
- Hey, I'm not Ice. - That's why we're talkin'.
I don't wanna talk.
Ever seen a lamb's head ? I could split you open in two.
Commissioner Scialoja please.
Patrizia.
Just Patrizia.
I reinvested Lebanese's money.
You reinvested it for yourself, shithead.
lf you want in, lemme talk.
I need to see you.
Me too.
lf you want in, we'll do it together
but without Ice.
He doesn't understand what money laundering's about.
I can't work with him, but you understand me.
Only one of you is fit to be boss,
and that's you.
Even Uncle Carlo said so.
He did, for real ?
I swear.
I talked to Ciro, he's still cryin' over his brother.
I convinced him to take his money and hit the road.
So it's all set.
All set.
- Is Slim still alive ? - Yes.
- So you two made a deal. - What are you sayin' ?
Hey buddy, I may be a hermit in the woods
but I'm not green.
I would've blasted you both if I wanted to.
But I don't give a shit anymore, do what you want.
I'll never wage war on you.
I found Roberta, she works at a gallery.
I can bring her here or... here's the address.
I should've told you,
allowed you to make a decision.
Know what they say about you ?
Yeah.
I had nothing to do with Bologna.
You wanted to build our relationship on lies ?
I didn't want to lose you.
You make my heart race.
- Just leave me alone. - I need you.
Let me live my life in peace.
Let me live in peace.
I'm sorry.
I thought a lot about the last time we met,
when you arrested me then released me.
Why ?
To nab Dandy ?
No.
Why'd you caress me ?
What do you want ?
Don't say anything.
Help me catch Dandy.
Follow Rat.
We want to save your life, they're waiting for you outside.
Ice didn't put a hole in your head, but Dandy will.
Unless you help us lock them up.
lf you leave and they're outside, you're a dead Rat.
- Don't intimidate my client. - I'm not intimidating him.
Do you want to leave ? Fine, we'll let you go.
lf you have special requests for your burial, tell Colussi.
Go, you're a free man.
Don't say anything.
Commissioner, I wanna dismiss my lawyer.
Think it over.
I demand a written retraction of the accusation.
- The interrogation is over. - No, and piss off !
Don't say anything.
Calm down.
You did the right thing.
- Will you help me ? - That's why we're here.
I belong...
to a criminal organization.
It's true.
Calm down, we can't understand you.
Breathe and tell us everything.
I belong...
For years I've belonged to a strong and extensive...
...criminal organization.
I'm in charge of assuring the drug quality.
I know them all.
Gambling dens, land, buildings,
they even bought themselves a club.
Nobody's ever bothered them, except for you
because they're friends with the mafia, terrorists,
and with some cops.
Ice wants me dead, Dandy's in charge now.
Leave Dandy, the Police are coming to get you.
Here are your fake documents, disappear for a bit.
Lebanese's villa's not a good idea.
We'll take you to Corsica and see what we can do about the trial.
Stop.
lf you open this cell, I'll kill him.
Send him back to the office.
- I'm sorry, Bones. - Me too.
DANDY
I'm sick of bein' a previous offender,
I want my Police record to be whitewashed.
So if I quit, I can leave through the front door
and end this Police nightmare.
-But Scialoja's still your nightmare. -That's why I called you.
He's obsessed with us.
We're guilty of everything, so we got nothin' to lose.
- What do I do ? - Two things.
First, Scialoja, but it's gotta look like an accident
or Uncle Carlo'll flip out.
Not easy, he's always escorted.
Do what you can,
the Sicilians think only they can kill cops and judges.
- Who else ? - A banker from Milan.
A prick who's buggin' some of our friends.
Your friends, the Masons who run around in aprons.
Those dickheads
who play with compasses, hoods, and membership numbers.
I even got a number.
Once at a meeting a guy said ''Brother Mason'' to me.
To me, get it ?
lf only my dear ol' dad heard that,
he wanted me to be a mason...
What did Scialoja want ?
- Same old questions. - Don't bullshit me.
Dandy asked me to kill him.
I don't care about your relationship
but I wanna know if Dandy asked me because of Ice, Lebanese,
all the others in jail, or if it's just a guy thing.
lf it's for our guys, I'll kill him, if not, settle it yourselves.
I'm gonna move in with you.
Really ?
Yeah.
But put the house in my name,
I wanna be the boss at home.
The house is yours.
The house isn't enough.
What else do you want ?
Do you want me forever ? Then don't touch the Commissioner.
- Tell Black to back off. - Why ?
- Why do you care about that louse ? - I don't.
But when he questioned me that time,
he treated me well, like a lady.
- 'Cause he was scared of me. - Maybe, but don't kill him.
All right.
Swear.
- Swear on the baby we'll have. - I swear.
Now fuck me good.
Here's the mail and the paper.
That's urgent, from Corsica.
- Something wrong ? - Same old things.
It's a memory from a few years ago.
I'll be going.
The car is on its way.
Signor Danconi ?
World champions !
ltaly wins
3 to 1 over Germany.
Mail !
For you.
I'll keep writing,
maybe one day you'll answer me.
Ricotta, you're becomin' famous.
Thanks, guard.
There's Buffalo too.
''A trial against a new crime connected to terrorism, mafia...''
''The Assize Court of Rome declares Avolio Francesco, Ice,
Sopranzi Carlo, Ricotta,
Moneta Giovanni, Bright Eye,
Calisi Marcello, Bones,
Buffoni Ciro, and Mirabelli Romolo, Rat,
guilty of the aforementioned crimes
and condemns them to the following sentences:
Ice, 30 years reclusion,
Ricotta, 30 years,
Bright Eye, 7 years,
Bones, 5 years,
Buffoni Ciro 2 years and 4 months,
Rat, 1 year and 3 months.
And payment of court fees...''
Bravo, Rat !
''Furthermore, the Court dismisses the case
against Pascale Settimio, AKA Buffalo,
as he is deemed to be of unsound mind,
thus shall be detained in a hospital for the criminally insane.
And lastly, the Court absolves
De Magistris Bruno, AKA Dandy, due to lack of evidence.
The Court rejects the remaining requests.''
Court is adjourned.
Gimme this bottle, you drink too much.
You talk too much.
You had to get drunk tonight ?
You're the one who got a clean slate,
I'm still the same.
Don't, honey.
I got plans for you too, you'll be an actress.
ln porno films !
Thanks, good night.
That's too much.
Play that song about friends for me again.
There's been an accident near Castel Sant'Angelo,
a woman in a state of mental confusion asked for you...
What happened ?
- Take her to the hospital tomorrow. - Don't tell me what to do.
Paolo, call Dr. Mainardi.
Calm down, honey.
Behave.
Honey, it's me.
Thanks for tonight,
but you should thank me you're still alive.
Actually, you should thank her,
because when you threw us all in the slammer,
she told me you treated her like a lady,
and she thought I believed her.
Everyone thinks I'm a bigger ass than I am.
Get out of my house now.
Mail.
My cousin wrote to me.
Ice, this is for you.
Put it on the table.
This one's addressed to you.
My love,
I saw you behind those bars.
I can't imagine you'll be in prison all those years,
I can't bear it.
I don't want to lose hope of seeing you again.
How is it ?
Mainardi, I need you to do me a favor.
We've always been good to you, given you plenty of coke,
we need somethin' from you now.
Find some way to get Ice out of jail.
How ?
I heard a guy in the slammer injected himself with infected blood.
- Got any patients with sick blood ? - Sure.
- lf we inject him with that blood... - He'll get out of jail.
But then he'll die.
- Ice knows that, he wants to do it. - I can't.
You think it's easy for me
to kill a guy who's like my brother ?
You think I like askin' you to get me this poison ?
I'll smash your head if you don't say yes,
I'll count to 3 !
Now that's more like it.
Are you sure ?
Do it.
We'll start the therapy after.
Hi.
Come here.
- Can she come in my room ? - No.
We'll just go back here then.
It's been ages.
Ages, my love.
I'm pretending.
The wheelchair, the illness, it's all to get out of jail
and be with you.
What ?
- Wanna go away with me ? - How ?
I planned it all with Dandy.
I get out tomorrow then we'll go to France.
I sold everything to bribe the judges, cops, nurses.
We're broke, but we got a house in France.
Time to go.
I put the fake documents in Bones' cousin's taxi,
he knows how to get you to the border.
See you, right ?
Take care, brother.
This is yours, remember ?
I don't need it.
You take care, got it ?
Lunch is almost ready.
I'm not hungry.
CONVlCT RELEASED DUE TO lLLNESS HAS DlSAPPEARED
I'm very satisfied with my horse.
Leave Dandy, the Police are coming to get you.
- It's the same voice. - The same.
Here's the report.
''Eugenio Carenza,
businessman.
Bankrupt twice, never condemned.
lnvolvement in the Student Movement.
Trips to South America and Czechoslovakia.
Then nothing for five years.
And now involvement in arms traffic''.
CENTER FOR SOClAL RESEARCH
Honey, are you home ?
You're in the bathroom ?
Sorry for the wait, have a seat.
To what do I owe this visit ?
To the fact that our paths have often crossed
and this is odd
considering I deal with criminals
and you deal with something different.
Through rumors, declarations, phone calls,
objective confirmations,
we've uncovered some rather disturbing things about you.
- Are you here to arrest me ? - Not yet.
I'll request an investigation to uncover who you really are.
I'll tell you myself
and spare you the worthless slander.
I'm a servant of the State.
Due to my job,
I interact with the bad, like you do.
The signals I've been gathering for some time
indicate it will all end soon.
The division of the world,
the Berlin wall, under whose shadow I grew old,
shows evident cracks, and will be torn down soon,
covering the political class of the past 50 years with its rubble.
I'll leave one minute before
the earthquake.
Don't waste your time removing me,
history will do that.
But rather,
how did you let Ice slip through your fingers ?
My admiration for you wavered,
I hope you don't disappoint me again.
For example, tomorrow,
Buffalo will be on leave from the criminal asylum.
Do you know what this gentleman will do ?
I certainly do,
he'll attempt to kill Dandy.
Good, and you must impede him.
- lmpede him ? - Yes.
I came to say you'll be in handcuffs soon and you give me orders ?
No orders.
lmpeding the murder of an innocent citizen is your duty.
Wanna go out tonight ?
No.
What's wrong ?
Nothing, honey.
Hold me.
Undress me like a baby.
I've done lots of dumb shit
but when I first saw you and for the rest of my life,
you've been the most a guy like me could hope for.
You know me, but there's a lot I didn't tell you.
One is that I am sick
and when my time comes, I want to be alone...
I want to spare you the pain, the blood,
everything that comes before we go.
Go do the job you love but gave up because of me.
I can picture you,
with your glasses, your high backside
among statues, paintings, books,
antique and beautiful things.
I can picture you, honey.
My love.
- Nice, they Grecian ? - No, Louis XVl.
I wanna live in the center again,
my father got kicked out on his ass years ago !
Wrap up these Louis things.
Goodbye Mike.
Berlin, the border between the two Germanies is open...
Coffee please.
Here you go.
- How much ? - 200 lira.
Thanks.
Commissioner Scialoja please.
Tell him it's Ice.
Maybe you don't get it,
I'm turnin' myself in, I'll tell you everything.
Who we really were,
who we knew, who protected us.
They're big names.
I only ask one thing,
no hassles at the airport.
I just need a few hours,
then I'm all yours.
''This is my resignation letter.
I'm walking out on tiptoe.
ln the future there will be no need for people like me
because there won't be a democracy to save,
just private interests,
battles for more power, more money.
The few files I take with me
regard men who must save themselves from the storm,
black souls, mercenary captains.
Yet, as we've already seen in history,
they'll be the rulers of the chaos.''
This is where everything started.
We stole a car behind that building when we were kids.
It was Lebanese, Dandy, me,
and Grand.
Poor Andrea,
he left us that same night.
It was a night like this,
all ominous and cloudy.
Maybe his death was a sign
tellin' us to be good or we'd end up like him.
lnstead we thought it was better to die like him
than punch a timecard for the rest of our lives.
- What'd you tell him ? - That his wife wants to reconcile.
But she wants to do it in front of a priest,
at that church you named.
Go there early tomorrow morning...
- Where's the piece ? - ln there.
Did you really get married ?
I did.
Who the heck married you ?
A nutcase.
She's so short she looks like my spare tire.
But she loves me.
I'm happy for you.
Let me off here.
- Here ? - Yeah.
- What's here ? - Nothing.
Honor to you.
I have a meeting with the priest, is he in ?
He won't be in today.
Looks like a settling of scores.
Hello, Scialoja.
What a pity, he could've been helpful.
Perhaps.
May I congratulate you on becoming the new Police Chief ?
Cover that body !
Ice !
Bastards !
Where'd you go ?
Some dent, what happened ?
Andrea run, the Police's comin'.
Ice, what happened ?
Lemme see you run !
Run, the Police !
I'm runnin' !
