A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
The two fighters are sizing each other up.
After all, it's the first time they have met inside the ring.
We have the Frenchman,
who is clearly trying to get a fix on the reactions of our fighter, Fernini.
You won't eat pasta, but you will eat potato chips?
...have gone quiet at the moment.
But now he's on the attack and is unleashing a barrage of punches.
Fernini is protecting himself, he's keeping his guard up...
Which one's ours?
The one on the right, Romolo. Can't you tell?
Can you tell me where your father is?
Where else? With the same whore as always.
Come on! We're going to destroy that bum!
Well... We'll know the winner at the finish line.
Romolo, what's that?
Come on.
- What is it? - I don't know.
You stay here. And don't move no matter what, okay?
To what do I owe this visit, Inspector?
I want the truth about Gabriele Marchilli.
I don't know who that is. I'm sorry.
You do know him.
You know his father, too. His name was Franco Marchilli.
Inspector, are you here in an official capacity?
Tell me what Gabriele has to do with his father's death and I'll go.
That's the only thing that interests me.
I assure you nothing will happen to you.
Why? What's supposed to happen to me?
Tell me.
I have nothing to say.
I could make her vanish in an instant.
No, don't bother.
Not worth it.
The truth is I never expected to join forces with my opponents.
But try to put yourselves in my shoes.
How can I ask the people who voted for me, my voters,
to support a party that has not understood what is going on in our city?
Rome has to become a safe city once again.
And in two days that will again be possible,
so I implore you to use your vote well, vote for the Right.
You nearly convinced me too.
[in Sinti] [We've got the coke, they control the squares.]
[I don't see a solution.]
[It's ours, if we all band together.]
[Ostia has got to be ours.]
[A turf war. You want to start a turf war?]
[We made a deal with the Ostia families and they didn't respect it.]
[I want to do what's right.]
Look, we're not playing games here, Ma. I say a war in Ostia would be suicide.
Given what you did, you shouldn't even say the word "Ostia".
But he's right.
We need to find a different way, maybe a smarter one.
Like to keep begging people to be our allies?
That doesn't seem so smart. They all treat us like dirt.
With no respect.
It's time to go get out and get that respect.
Wow! When did you prepare that little speech?
Last night? Didn't you sleep?
What's that?
It's just that, coming from my mother's errand boy,
it seems a bit weird to me.
[Manfredi wouldn't have never wasted time squabbling.]
[He would have gone and taken Ostia.]
Your mother is about to screw up. It'll backfire, you'll see.
Yes, so we have to stay on our toes.
- Let me know everything that happens. - Why? Where are you going?
To talk to your friend?
Since you two started making trouble again you're always in a rush.
If this family has got to the point of being able to talk to the guys in Ostia
it's all thanks to you.
And I don't want to fuck it all up with a war.
That's why I'm going to talk to him.
It's business, that's all.
Be careful.
You, too.
There are two of you now.
- We've got an appointment. - An appointment with whom?
With Spadino.
Alberto, Spadino. He told me he lives here.
Hey! Leave it, I'll deal with this.
Who the fuck are you? What do you want?
Alberto, what are you doing?
You can't be here, you know that. You've got to go.
- I haven't heard from you in days. - I know, Teo. I'm sorry.
But you can't be here, it's dangerous.
Go on, get lost.
Hey! You've got to go.
I told you to get lost, go!
It's nothing, just a dickhead DJ bothering me about playing at our club.
Rome has to become a safe city once again.
Those were the words Amedeo Cinaglia used to announce his...
The champion of homeland security.
The sheriff with a star-shaped badge on his chest.
...his campaign in the run-off election was a bold political...
You were right about Cinaglia.
It took you a while to get that, eh?
It's just that I've been thinking about it a lot.
I thought this city was close to his heart.
But all that's on his mind is his own fucking shit.
The mess during the evacuation was his doing.
I'm listening.
He's joined up with three criminals.
These guys are basically out to stir up trouble in Rome.
All kinds of trouble, it doesn't matter as long as people talk about it.
And the Right wins votes.
And who are these three geniuses?
A gypsy, the last Adami and a cop.
Sound familiar?
Cinaglia was screwing with me.
But he doesn't know who he's messing with.
Adriano, tell me something.
Are you ready to come back?
- I'm ready to do what's right. - Then let's do it together.
You managed to get him to talk once, find a way to make him do it again.
I'll take care of the other three.
You can talk.
My mother has convinced the whole family to make war in Ostia.
They have drugs and weapons enough to take it all.
- I could put barriers near the squares. - No.
- How many are there? - There are lots of us, you know that.
So let's be ready.
You guys think it's a bad think, huh?
Well, I don't.
What have you got in mind?
The campaign wraps up today, I don't have much time.
I don't need much.
Do you know what Cinaglia is doing to gain support for the Right?
No. And I don't give a damn about my ex-husband.
And if I told you he organized the mess in Ostia during the evacuation?
Do you have proof?
There is no proof for some things.
Then it's just speculation.
In the polls right now the Right is gaining on you guys.
You're in need of help, now. From the Vatican, for instance.
And I can get it for you.
But then you'll have to lend me a hand.
But the Vatican isn't publicly backing either political party.
Today Nascari is giving his installation speech.
He's a man who knows how to talk to the faithful.
He could make it clear that it's better to stick with the status quo.
I'll listen to the Cardinal's speech carefully.
What a lovely couple.
Excuse the tardiness, there's been a change of plans.
- We'll do what we promised, but in Ostia. - Ostia again?
Fellas, the campaign is coming to a close. We have to create panic all over Rome.
We'll do where I say.
Okay?
If we say so, you've got to trust us.
So what did you have in mind?
We'll set off a war in the middle of a residential area.
That way you politicians can say it's not just a refugee problem.
People will be scared to leave their houses.
But they'll get out to vote, and they'll vote for you.
For the Right.
All right.
Make it war on a grand scale.
I'll let you know what my mother's planning.
Good.
Lele, get the cops off my ass.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
I've got to get a few people together.
This time we're not going to fuck it up.
Let's go.
What is it that doesn't convince you?
Let's say it all goes well.
You'll be in City Hall and they'll be out in the streets dealing drugs.
And me?
I thought you wanted to rid yourself of Samurai.
Yeah, sure. But that's not enough for me.
Without him, a woman like you can do as she pleases.
A woman like me.
What is it that you want, Sara?
I want my migrants back.
Do you know where they've taken them?
Not yet. But I'll find out soon.
While they were evacuating the camp I saw the Countess talking to Nascari.
She has been making money off the poor for years.
But there's something else that I want.
Once you're in City Hall I want you to set up a commission on migrants.
And you'll assign my charity with housing and caring for the migrants.
Is this some kind of blackmail?
No.
It's a deal.
Look at it that way.
You've come to ask me a favor.
And you have nothing to say about Giunti?
What should I say?
I'm very sorry.
I've worked as a missionary in some real hellholes, believe me.
But things like that don't happen in those places.
And do you know why?
Because there violence at least has a reason.
It has a reason here, too, Your Eminence.
For instance, there are people who fall and those who take their place.
But no one told you to do that to him.
But you knew that was possible.
And if I were to not mention the run-off election at all in my speech?
Would that happen to me too?
Are you afraid, Your Eminence?
I'm not afraid of anything.
Angelica?
Oh! Angelica?
How are you?
I'm a wreck, but they say it's a good sign.
- What? Vomiting? - Vomit a little and it's a boy, they say.
This is the first time.
Well, don't eat too much.
It's got nothing to do with what you eat.
Oh...
Listing, things are stirring here.
- What is it? - They're going to Ostia tonight.
They want to attack the Northern zone.
What'll we do?
Tell your father to let my mother take care of it.
Why? What you got in mind?
Don't worry, I'll be around for the little guy.
Christ, Aureliano!
Not eating, not drinking, not smoking. What's with you?
The gypsies want to occupy my turf.
The Northern zone.
What'll you do?
- Call the families together? - Yes. I need Spadino and Lele too.
First I have to do something else.
Let's go.
Come on.
The biggest son of a bitch around
This false world with no love for me
Got a name for everyone
And electing the worst there is
Pages of soap-operas, newspapers
All lined up, just business
Bits of the future bartered to be the boss
Hey! And they talk about me
'Cause I'm the only one who fights
In this hip-hop talk show
That's all about imitation
Shut up in an office waiting for Christmas
Not even trying to make a change, oh!
It's enough for me to fight And give the middle finger
On the radio
And then, scorn me, slow me down
Wonderful!
Yesterday, today and always
My war is different
All I need to fight
Silence is consent
Hi, Flavio.
I need to talk to your dad.
This is my tarantula
It burns like barbecue
Now it's time to show it off
With your good peace
Bring me another fairy tale
Because I don't like this one
And even if this isn't war There's still going to be a slaughter
I don't know what you are saying
But it's one hell of a good show
But, I'm sorry, because I'm not with it
And good peace
I don't believe you anymore
Hi, Romolo.
I hope you've got good news.
Do you have stuff you promised?
No, we've got a problem.
The gypsies.
The deal with the families fell apart, they want to take the Northern zone.
- Tonight. - How do you know?
- I know, that's all. - Lately you've been talking a lot of shit.
Your son's grown up, eh?
I need you, Romolo.
To finish off those pieces of shit.
Do you realize I've been looking after you since you were a kid?
I looked out for you more than for my own son.
And now I'm sick as hell of fighting other people's wars.
I'm sorry, Aureliano.
This time you'll have to do it alone.
Family comes first, right?
Bye, Romolo.
Let's go.
- What's going on? - I thought of something.
I need a hand.
Can we do a live broadcast this evening or tomorrow?
Yeah, sure.
- Great. Let me know. - Are you planning something?
So I can prepare for the show better.
Do something.
Before going to the radio station take a stroll around Ostia tonight.
Why am I here?
Because I've thought over what you asked me.
Did you remember who Gabriele Marchilli is?
Listen, I'll tell you what I know, but on two conditions.
We've never seen each other.
And you resolve it with him on your own.
Okay.
He murdered Tullio Adami.
And he set his father against an Adami and an Anacleti, and they killed him.
Was Gabriele there?
No. He screwed all three of them without getting his hands dirty.
Hey.
Hold on, Adriano, I can't understand a fucking thing.
In Ostia? Are you certain?
Okay, thanks.
That's the situation.
So now, whoever's got balls is with me.
And is going to war with those pieces of shit.
Whoever thinks differently can fuck off, I don't need you.
Where's Romolo? I don't see him.
Romolo isn't here.
Think about what I'm saying.
So are you with me or not?
We're with you.
POLICE
You know you're making a mistake.
You worry about the baby.
We're ready.
- [in Sinti] [Then let's take Ostia.] - [Let's go!]
I've found out Cinaglia's next move.
Tonight in Ostia he's going to unleash a gang war.
I can already see tomorrow's newspaper headlines.
The Right is preparing to level the final blow at the last minute.
And what can I do?
The police have to stop it from happening.
Do you know why I picked you from your party
and not a man like your husband, for example.
Because people like Forsini just take bribes and that's it.
But you're a fighter.
Nascari's declaration of support,
I'm still waiting for it.
Whoa! Calm down now.
I'm as calm as can be, can't you tell?
There they are.
Where the fuck are they going?
They're attacking somewhere else.
Try to figure out where they're headed. I'll call Aureliano.
Fuck.
Huh?
Which way?
I'll talk to you later. Let me know what happens.
Call Romolo, tell him the gypsies are coming.
Listen here, two cars are heading Romolo's way.
I have to go there.
- You take care of things here. - Don't worry about it, Aureliano.
We've got this.
Come on.
Let's go.
Lorenzo, you guys go over there. You two come with me.
How the hell can you live this way, huh?
Your father lived his life for you and you let him die like a dog.
Walk.
- Mara... - I said walk.
[in Sinti] [There's no one here.]
- What are you going to do? - I want you to tell me the whole truth.
I want to hear you say that you're the one who got Franco killed.
Bullshit!
It's not bullshit, Lele.
I know everything.
I know you killed Tullio Adami.
What the fuck did you do, Lele?
What the fuck have you become?
You're a killer, Lele.
You know what your father told me?
Shut up!
That it would've been better to not have a son like you.
Shut up!
- Shut up! - Lele!
- Shut up! - No! Lele!
- Shut up! - Lele!
- Shut up, bitch! - Lele!
Lele! Lele, no!
Oh, wake up! Come on.
Flavio!
Hey! Back again?
I have to talk to your dad.
Why?
Romolo!
Get everything ready.
- The gypsies are coming. Got to go! - What do you mean?
Yes.
It's this way out!
Get them to this side.
Nadia! Get over here!
Now!
Come on!
Flavio! Come on!
Come on!
Flavio!
No, no!
Romolo... Romolo!
Dad!
- Dad! - Stop! Police!
- We have to go! - Dad!
Stop, police!
Guns down!
Face the ground!
Get on the ground!
- We've got to go. - Don't touch me!
Don't touch me.
What the fuck did you do?
You did it in the end.
You got him killed.
...the timely police intervention...
The police only show up during elections.
If it hadn't been for them we would have won for sure.
When Romans feel safe they always vote for the Left.
Yeah, sure, but the police arrived late.
They fired right in a residential complex. People won't forget that.
Yes, but it's not enough.
So make sure it's enough.
Talk about it being a war that puts everybody in danger.
Hey.
You'll see, people will listen to you.
...in Ostia.
Whether it was a drug deal gone wrong or a war over turf is unclear.
But many citizens heard gunfire shortly before the arrival of the police.
- It clearly wasn't a planned raid. - What is it?
- Instead it appears the police... - They cancelled my live radio interview.
The victims include the man the public prosecutor believes to be
the boss of the small clan that controlled
drug dealing the in area, Romolo Lucci, 50 years old of Ostia.
He was the focus of police investigations on more than one occasion
for the possession of unregistered firearms
and drug dealing...
The police should have shut it down before the war broke out.
You told me too late.
They did what they could. And it seems they made a lot of arrests.
- It wasn't enough. - We prevented the worst.
The Right didn't gain the advantage it was hoping for.
I did my part. You promised me something.
Nascari.
- When is he giving the speech? - Keep calm.
Do I look like a guy who sits on his hands?
Let's hear it.
What do you have to offer?
Something even bigger.
Cinaglia.
