THE DAY BEFORE
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Mrs. Monaschi...
Why did you call me?
A priest from the Commission was kidnapped.
He's being blackmailed.
Can you find him?
What if I can?
The Ostia land...
50/50.
-You're just gonna go like that? -I didn't wanna wake you.
Not enough?
Enough for what?
For last night and to make you forget what you saw.
I don't sleep with clients,
and I don't talk about things I don't know.
You can keep the cash.
Fine, buy yourself a nice dress,
I want to see you in it next time.
Come on, it's late.
Look, the monsignor's not going anywhere.
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
I'm glad you didn't kill her.
Would have been a waste, Gabriele.
Bye, Nazareno.
See ya.
If you're looking for my brother, he's at home.
I'm not looking for Manfredi. I need you.
You're Spadino, right?
How's business?
It's good, why?
What business have you got, Spadino?
Family stuff.
That is, loan-sharking, dealing... the usual gypsy bullshit?
So why have you come to bust my balls?
-What are you talking about? -You're blackmailing a priest.
You even made him disappear.
The fuck you doing, business outside the family?
And even if?
-Not your problem. -But it is.
Or else I wouldn't even talk to someone like you.
Where's the priest?
Let's try and make a deal.
I was gonna make a lot of cash with the priest.
Free the priest.
Now.
Still not ready?
You'll be late for the meeting.
Yeah, I'm going now.
Bye. Are you tired?
Bye, sweetheart.
-Let's go. Bye. -Bye.
Get out.
What the fuck, are you deaf? I said get out!
Douchebag.
How's the priest?
Well?
I had to free him.
-What did you say? -Samurai came to me this morning.
Get out of my way.
Samurai, really? What did he say?
He knew we had the priest, that we're blackmailing him.
-Did he know about all three of us? -No, he knows fuck all about you two.
Do you realize what the fuck you've done?
-What the fuck was I supposed to do? -Not shit your pants.
You should have talked to me first.
You bowed down to that piece of shit.
It's my fault,
doing business with this one, a cop's son,
and with you, a gypsy scumbag,
like your brother, but at least he's a man.
-Fuck you! -Piece of shit.
What the fuck you gonna do?
You wanna kill me?
Go on, kill me.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Yes?
I want to change the agenda for today's meeting.
Here.
Have the councilmen been informed?
No, but I'm the chairman, it's my prerogative.
Make copies and distribute them, thank you.
All right.
What are you still doing here?
Listen, Spadino,
have you got 30,000 euros?
And fuck you, too.
Now it's all over, you can relax.
Sure, you didn't spend the night in some hole
after being manhandled by those animals.
It's your fault.
I didn't think certain things could happen.
I'm sorry about what happened.
You're right. It's awful. I understand.
But now you need to convene the Commission as soon as possible.
Fine, but I don't want to hear any more about this business.
Of course, I know, I wouldn't ask if it wasn't necessary,
but it's the final step.
Ah, there you are.
You changed the agenda? You want to discuss the Ostia deal?
-Yes. -Yesterday we couldn't change anything.
Well, today we can. Urgent reasons.
Urgent for your own interests!
Who are you doing the favor for?
Serri, watch it.
How is the monsignor?
Good.
Is he ready to sign?
Yes, but first we need to talk.
About what?
About my husband's company's share,
we said 50/50, didn't we?
You said that, but I solved the monsignor problem,
now I get everything.
What, everything?
The Vatican land goes to me,
or else the monsignor's troubles are not over.
It would only take me a second to leak it.
The priests have to sell to my company.
But we had a deal!
Do you know how long I've been working on this deal?
No, and frankly, I don't care.
You shouldn't have come here, look at the state of your shoes.
-Hi, Moreno. -Hi.
Here he is.
-What are all these people doing here? -Why, you don't know about it?
No.
Manfredi's cousin's been killed.
Who gives a shit?
You wanna be an asshole about it?
You beat him up, I asked you to bring him the cash and you know nothing?
-Now tell them that... -I said it wasn't me!
And now we're shitting ourselves because of gypsies?
He really still doesn't fucking get it.
But you guys do...
Hi.
I heard about your cousin.
How did it happen?
They crushed his face,
broke his cheekbones, his jaw and his nose.
They slaughtered him.
What happens now?
What the fuck do you think's gonna happen, Angelica? War.
Promise me you'll be careful.
What do you want?
You said you didn't want to see me anymore.
-I just wanted to see how you were. -You've seen me, I'm fine, okay?
Forget it.
To me, you gotta tell the truth.
-Whose dog is this? -It's mine now.
What the fuck have you done, Aureliano?
He was just a piece of gypsy scum, Livia.
-Why didn't you tell me? -What was I supposed to say?
That you're an asshole.
And you complain about Dad...
Now you listen to me and do exactly what I say.
-First, this dog's gotta disappear. -He'll die without me.
You don't seem to get it. I'll say it for the last time.
I'll cover you with Dad, but get rid of the dog.
And then keep your head down till we figure out if anyone saw you.
Got it?
-Got it? -Got it.
What's up? What's this here?
[in Sinti] [Aureliano Adami is an animal.]
[He kicked him to death like a dog.]
[We gotta shoot him in the face, so even his father can't recognize him.]
[We'll find him and tie him up,]
[drag him to his house and leave him there.]
Don't look at me like that.
I'm sorry.
You served up the monsignor on a silver platter, what did you expect?
To go halves?
You need to learn who you're dealing with.
At any rate, you made a mistake, but you can still fix it.
-How? -Play for time.
Get Theodosiou away from Rome and from Samurai
and slow down the Commission decisions.
-Countess, this one? -No, my dear.
It doesn't go here.
I even know whose this is.
Do you know Mr. Finucci?
The Building Commission's technical counselor?
It's his job to make sure that the companies that buy land
in the new zoning plan are clean.
Without his approval, no sale will be approved by the Commission.
Samurai's company needs to be vetted by Finucci,
so he put him on his payroll.
But not for long. I've got a little surprise for him.
Mr. Finucci is about to be indicted.
His life is about to get very complicated.
Come, I'll show you around.
You don't know how many needy people I help with this center.
So, are we all here? We can begin, do you agree?
As you know, in Ostia there is a project to merge two lots of land
with a view to building a port...
I'm sorry to interrupt.
Mr. Finucci, the mayor wants you.
Urgently!
"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou amongst women, blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen..."
What do you want?
You've got to leave Rome, right away.
You told me to call a meeting.
I know, but the kidnappers might change their minds.
It's best to disappear for a while.
Why don't you leave me in peace?
Maybe you don't realize the mess you've made.
I don't want to see those people ever again.
Exactly, so listen to me.
It's best if you get out of Rome, let them forget you,
until it all dies down.
What do you want now?
They're mourning a dead man at my house.
Did you kill him?
Don't ask me, Spadino.
But I'm asking.
Don't you want to tell me, Aureliano?
It's got fuck all to do with you and me. Don't let our families come between us.
See ya, Spadino.
If squatting is a misdemeanor, property speculation is a crime.
That's the only way that families like ours
have gotten a roof over our heads.
We've been fighting for 11 months for the right to public housing.
-Thanks for dropping by. -Not at all.
They wanted to get us out by force, but we're not leaving these houses.
We've already seen what was supposed to scare us.
It's time everyone understood this building is our right,
and it's the duty of the State to give it to us.
The government must listen to us!
Thank God, we're not alone anymore,
we've got representatives in City Hall,
people like Amedeo Cinaglia,
people who believe in the struggle, honest politicians,
who've got the balls to fight for us.
Nothing can stop us now.
Sara?
-Are you insane? My husband's home. -I'm in the shit.
What happened?
I owe a guy money, a lot of money.
How much?
Thirty thousand.
Thirty thousand?
By today.
But I haven't got it! And by today...
Why didn't you tell me before?
Sara, please, I need it now.
Help me.
I have no idea how to find that much money.
Or you've got no idea how to find it for me.
Please...
I see... Never mind.
Forget I ever asked you for the money.
What's the big hurry to see me?
With the shit day I've had...
And it looks like it's just the beginning.
Let's talk in here, they delivered it today,
maybe the cops haven't had time to bug it yet.
Because we don't like people talking about us.
Look, I'm not going to say anything, I've never been a rat.
But you're under pressure and people change under pressure.
Don't be stupid, Giacomo.
I won't send you an indictment.
Here, pumpkin.
It's ready, come on.
You coming?
Yes, be right there.
What's wrong? You seem strange.
I think Finucci is going to be put under house arrest.
The guy who works with you?
Yeah, he's under investigation.
-Are you mixed up in it too? -No.
-Then, there's no problem.
No, that's right, no problem.
Let's go eat. It's getting cold.
You start.
Piece of shit! This time I'll kill you, get out!
Scumbag, get out!
It's me. It's Gabriele.
I need help. I'm in deep shit.
[I want that bastard Aureliano Adami dead tonight.]
[Go get him in his hangout.]
[Let's go!]
I'm going too.
Let's go. What is it? What's here?
Come on, show me! Come up!
Shit for brains, took the dog too...
Are you fuckin' kidding me? You don't bullshit me!
Now you're gonna explain why you killed him!
-What's wrong with your head? -Don't touch me.
Can't mind your own fucking business? Couldn't keep your mouth shut?
She's the only one who thinks straight, not like you, dickhead.
I said don't touch me.
If they don't kill you, I will.
What the fuck have you done?
It's better like this, Aureliano.
The dog was just a problem.
He's your son, try to remember that.
Dickhead.
I'm worried about what's happening to Finucci.
It's just another problem to solve.
We'll have to bribe whoever takes his place
and you gotta be the one to do it.
No, maybe you don't get it, I want out.
I don't want anything like this to happen to me.
I don't want to be compromised.
You've already done something for me. You're already compromised.
Are you afraid of the mayor, the press?
Then you don't get it,
it's not them you should be afraid of.
The mayor's going in two weeks and the game will be over.
I need someone in Finucci's place now.
[Go that way.]
You stay here.
You go down there, run!
Follow Tiziano!
Go.
I said go.
Go, for fuck's sake.
Go.
What the fuck's going on?
[Have you seen him? He came this way!]
He's not here.
We lost him.
