A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
[in Sinti] [Adelaide...]
[Send everyone away.]
[Alberto...]
[Come here.]
[Even though you're young, I want you to know the truth.]
[Look at me.]
[You have to learn to look death in the face.]
[You have to be stronger than it.]
[I'm going now.]
[Manfredi will be head of the family, but he won't make it on his own.]
[You have to be his ally and always help him.]
[Dad.]
[Manfredi...]
[He doesn't need my advice.]
[Manfredi is a bull.]
[Even bulls lose bullfights.]
[You have to prepare yourself.]
[One day it will be your turn to be the boss.]
[When your time comes,
[you'll understand on your own.]
[And you'll...]
[You'll have to be ready.]
MEDAL OF HONOR
Next time, leave me the keys. Come on, you're coming with me.
And put that knife down.
Move!
Samurai's waiting for you.
Tell me. What's going on?
The police raided Ostia last night.
- They put a stop to everything. - I know.
There were some casualties, weren't there?
They made a lot of arrests.
That'll help the Left a lot.
- What do the polls say? - It's neck and neck.
Barzacci doesn't want to hear about Ostia anymore.
He says we have to scare ordinary people,
the average voter.
Hit places seen as safe.
Then we need something that'll make a lot of noise.
And we need it in a hurry.
So, tell me, what are you thinking of doing now?
What's good for the family. That's all you need to know.
But if you'd listened to us, this whole mess never would've happened.
Now I want to see if the family still listens to you.
[in Sinti] [This is my house.]
[Everything that's here, including you, is under my command.]
[It's time you accepted that.]
Sooner or later, things change.
[Get everyone together.]
What did you do?
What's happened, Spadino?
Lele killed a cop yesterday.
The one who interrogated you.
He drowned her in the sea.
I swear, I've never seen him like that before.
He had this strange look in his eye.
Like a madman.
Before she was killed, she said something.
Go on, Spadino.
She said it was Lele who killed your father.
What are we going to do? Go and get him?
No.
No. I don't dirty my hands with shit like this.
Anyway, he killed my father.
And I killed his.
Nobody comes out of this clean, Spadino.
We've got more important things to do.
Let's go. They're waiting for us.
Let's go. We're here.
I thought you'd have more pressing concerns.
Getting my hands dirty helps me to think.
Cinaglia's up our ass. We've got to move now.
The arrests weren't enough. The result of the election is still uncertain.
I'm thinking it over.
So, tell me what you have in mind.
Listen, to make a plan you need the right information
and without what I told you about Cinaglia I don't know what you'd have done.
I'm grateful for the information
but this time it's best if I deal with it myself.
I don't want to get you in trouble.
What?
You had me pulling holdups at 15 years of age,
but now I can't sort out some politician.
And the idea that you want to protect me like a son sounds like bullshit.
If I'm going to get my hands dirty, I'll do it for you, not for him.
[in Sinti] [If the cops hadn't shown up we could have easily taken Ostia.]
[That's not true!]
- [A lot of our people are in jail.] - [Who knows when they'll let them out.]
You're right.
For those who were arrested, our lawyers are doing their job.
They'll soon be out.
But we frightened everyone.
And we took down the guy who mattered most.
When Manfredi wakes up, he'll back me up.
Until things die down
we'll only deal on our turf.
We've got plenty of stuff.
[Go.]
[There's not a gram left.]
[Sale took it all.]
[Where's my son and Angelica?]
Where's Lele?
- He's not here. - Why not?
We don't want him anymore. Is that a problem?
Yes, it is.
Gabriele's a cop.
How do we know he wasn't behind the raid?
Cinaglia, I lost a man yesterday.
So, forget about Lele. Cut the bullshit and say what you've got to say.
What we did yesterday wasn't enough.
Now we need something bigger.
- We have to scare the middle class. - Something everyone will talk about.
You want to go into business in Rome? Then, that's what you have to do.
You're getting a taste for it, huh? Do you feel like one of us?
No.
I'm not getting a taste for it. I'm risking my life.
Ah, and what do you want us to do?
A robbery? Fuck somebody up?
More.
Something that will be all over the papers the next day.
You want to kill someone.
Someone random, or will you tell us who?
I have an idea.
- Have you seen Marchilli? - He hasn't come in yet.
If you see him, tell him I'm looking for him.
Maybe he's in Ostia Levante. Have you heard what happened?
Last night, they killed Deputy Inspector Mara Guagli.
They drowned her.
Gabriele, you know how this is going to end, right?
The more you resist, the more I'll hurt you.
Why'd you have to get mixed up with that politician?
I gave you what you needed.
Come on, tell me what you're up to with Cinaglia and the other two assholes.
What are you plotting?
Well?
I don't know anything.
And if I did know something, I wouldn't tell you.
You've been ruining my life for three months.
Kill me if you want to.
As you wish.
I'd like to thank someone
without whom none of this would exist.
It's thanks to her that work begins tomorrow
and that this structure will become
the biggest refugee reception facility in the capital.
Countess Della Rocca Croce, the President of our Association.
I'd like to thank our mayoral candidates,
Cardinal Nascari, and the members of the press gathered here
for supporting this important cause.
All I can say
is that it broke my heart
when I heard that so many mothers, fathers, children,
after being forced to live in a tent city, were separated from one another...
She's an old lady.
Who would've expected that from Monaschi? But at least she's a woman of the church.
Our Association has created a place
where all these people will be able to stay together
and will not have to give up a right
that is sacrosanct for everyone:
family.
This is the lady I've heard so much about.
Alice has been a great help with the electoral campaign.
Without her, I don't know if I'd have made it.
Good, good. A wife should always help her husband.
I hope you'll be at the Holy Mass this evening.
Of course, Your Eminence.
Well? What do you say?
- If it has to be done, it'll be done. - Fine, but let's get it done quickly.
- I have some unfinished business with her. - Okay.
Your Eminence, thank you for the support you've given us.
But the moment has come to join forces.
We want the same thing:
to eliminate corruption.
You from the Holy See, me from Rome.
In both cases, we're talking about a man
with whom we've both had to do business in the past.
Samurai.
I need you, Your Eminence, to stop him.
Countess, if I'm not mistaken
this structure belongs to Samurai.
It's thanks to him that you've been able to take in hundreds of refugees.
And that you became the head of the Congregation of Bishops
immediately after you cleared his land in Ostia.
You put the refugees there on purpose.
First you created a problem, then you resolved it for him.
And you knew exactly what to ask in exchange.
A compromise
for the greater good.
But I no longer have anything to do with him.
That's where you're mistaken.
Tell me what you want exactly.
I want an ally to stop him.
For the good of the Church, and of Rome.
I have a meeting with the Congregation now.
We'll find another opportunity to discuss this.
Tonight, after Mass.
DEPUTY INSPECTOR G. MARCHILLI
Well?
- Will you talk now? - No.
Hey! Wake up!
He's alive. He's alive.
He'll die without saying a word.
Of all of the days he had to play the hero today.
This piece of shit.
We'll use him to make someone else talk.
It's all set. The guys are getting ready.
Good.
What's wrong?
- I didn't think I'd go this far. - I know.
I didn't think so either.
But here we are.
I didn't think you were like this.
Like what?
Willing to do anything.
Do I scare you?
No.
- Yes? - I want to see you. Now.
I'm not interested.
You don't get it. Either you come here, or I'll come get you at home.
And if you're not there, I'll take your family.
Is that clear?
- Who was it? - Samurai.
He threatened my family.
- I have to go. Excuse me. - I'm coming with you.
All good?
Doesn't it show?
- What are you doing? - Nothing.
How can you look me in the face?
What are you talking about?
You know what I mean.
I killed your father. How can you stand to be near me?
You're right, I should have killed you.
But then I started using my head.
Nothing was going to bring my father back.
And why didn't you kill Lele?
Like you said.
Nothing is going to bring my father back.
I'm hungry.
Have you got some time?
Not much. But I've got some, yes.
Hi, darling.
- Good afternoon. - Afternoon.
Amedeo...
What is it?
What's going on?
I want you to take the kids and go to a hotel.
- What are you talking about? - Go to a hotel. And take the babysitter.
- Why a hotel? - Just because.
- I'll join you later. - Tonight is Cardinal Nascari's Mass.
- We have to be there. - Alice, I'm not joking around.
Tell me what the fuck is going on, Amedeo!
Nothing will fucking happen if you do what I say!
Take the children and go to a hotel.
And forget about the Mass.
Believe me, Vincenzo,
I'm not at all happy about how things have turned out.
And I'm not happy.
- With how you managed my money. - Suddenly we're enemies?
Would you like to come in?
Yes.
But as an ally who deserves an explanation.
Are they okay?
Yes.
I have to go see Samurai.
Then go armed.
Be careful.
- You're ruining everything. - You already did that.
With all your fuck-ups.
Remember, it's thanks to me that Angelica became an Anacleti.
Maybe, but so far I've put up all the money for everyone else.
I respect you, Adelaide. But you have to accept a new heir.
My husband.
He's also your son, in case you forgot.
I gave the coke to Spadino. He and Angelica are the future.
Let's take a step back
and make space for them.
Ladies and gentlemen, the King of the Gypsies!
Spadino.
- Hey, do you want some pasta? - No, thanks.
Cinaglia?
What do you need?
No, I'll take care of it.
Bye.
- What does he want? - He asked me for a gun.
Cinaglia asked for a gun!
- What the fuck's he need it for? - What do I know?
Aureliano, I need to talk to you.
I get it, Spadino, I'll go.
- He's all yours. - Turn the music off.
I took all my family's shit.
Now they'll do what I say.
And if you like
we can deal it in Ostia with your men.
What do you say? Do you want to be partners?
Finally some good news.
We'll go 50-50.
- Actually, you ought to pay me. - With what?
Fair enough. You're a friend: 80-20.
- We can negotiate later. - All right.
You managed to do it in the end.
Boss of the Gypsies.
So it would seem.
Have some pasta, we have to celebrate. Nadia, come here.
Then you can go home.
I'll take care of the Countess.
Come here.
To us!
Enjoy!
Lele?
Who's that?
Cinaglia's cop.
Ah, so that's him.
That's why I didn't want to get you involved.
So why have you changed your mind now?
I thought about what you said to me.
You were never a kid that needed protecting.
You were always an ally.
You remember this, don't you?
It's time to get your hands dirty again.
We've got a visitor. Come with me.
See your poor little friend?
Take it as a warning, Amedeo.
You can still avoid meeting the same fate.
Do you know what your mistake is?
You're too trusting.
A politician ought to know that Rome is a small place.
Alliances are fragile.
First some guy helps you, gives you a megaphone to get votes.
Then he sells you out, and tells others what you're up to.
You present yourself as the upstanding citizen
but you're the biggest scumbag of all.
What do you want?
What are you doing here, Sara? It's late.
And so, another day of glory for you.
My sincerest compliments.
You're aging well, Countess.
But you're aging.
Hurry up or you'll be late for the Mass tonight.
Goodbye, Sara.
We had a straightforward deal.
I gave you a chance
but you backed out.
You were too ambitious.
I'm giving you the chance to make a dignified exit.
Go on the radio with him
and announce live on air that you're leaving politics.
Make up anything you like but get the fuck out of the way.
No.
Where the fuck are you going, Cinaglia?
Look, I wasn't asking you.
What the fuck are you...
Don't move! Don't move! Piece of shit! Throw down the gun!
Throw it down!
Fuck!
In the darkest moments
we must retrace the path of the Lord
to return to the light.
Tonight we are doing that together
in a place like this
on a dark night like this...
Peter left the walls of Rome.
He was fleeing Nero's persecution.
When he was at the gate
he saw Christ walking towards him.
He was entering the city.
So Peter asked him,
"Lord, where are you going?"
Christ replied,
"I have come
to be crucified a second time."
Peter understood that Christ had to be crucified again.
Not as Christ himself, however, but rather in the form of his servant.
And that servant was him.
Shut up! Shut up!
It didn't matter
that the faithful had begged him to flee, to seek refuge.
Peter...
went to meet his death.
And he died crucified
praising the Lord Jesus Christ.
Praised be Jesus Christ.
Forever and ever.
Come here.
There's only one thing you have to do:
enjoy your husband's victory.
And mind your own fucking business.
Well?
- Did they listen to you straight away? - They came looking for me.
They all want to know what you have to say.
[in Sinti] [The drugs are somewhere safe.]
[I've got them.]
[I hid them.]
[I didn't agree to going to war in Ostia.]
[It wasn't the right strategy.]
It's time for this family to start using its head and not its hands.
It's time to start negotiating.
Not to shoot, but to negotiate with those who are really in charge of this city.
On our terms.
I've already started. Actually, I've got some good news.
Within a few days
my father-in-law and all of us will get the money back that we put in.
I've made an agreement to deal in Ostia without bloodshed and above all
without fear of raids.
It'll be a gradual thing, but it'll be safe.
[Bravo, Spadino, you did good!]
[Bravo, Spadino!]
[Bravo! Enough taking risks!]
[We'll use our brains.]
That's right.
Our family has never taken this step before.
Not even when my brother was in charge.
And I want to thank my mother
who did everything she could.
But now, it's time for me to take Manfredi's place.
Because this family has to be run by a man who gets things done!
I know you warned Adami.
They were ready.
Even if that were the case...
there's nothing you can do about it anymore.
[Let's take everything!]
Well?
I'm working for you too.
- I can't stand being rushed. - I can't stand it when debts aren't paid.
Nascari didn't make any declaration, and Cinaglia hasn't withdrawn.
I told you I'll take care of it.
Why haven't you done it yet? The election is tomorrow.
There's a big difference between you in your offices
and me down on the street.
What are you saying? You're the most feared man in this town.
And you can't stop one small-time politician?
He can't be that small-time if you want him out, can he?
Deal are deals.
I asked you for one thing, and you don't give it to me.
How and why this is happening doesn't interest me.
You should put that out.
I'm done with you.
You should have taken him to the hospital.
I told him, Sara.
He didn't want to go.
Anyway, you can't stay here. Do you want to come to my place?
It's done.
She's dead.
But there was a problem.
It involves Alice.
Alice?
Do you think she'll talk?
I don't know.
But it's something we've got to sort out with Cinaglia.
We need to talk.
I want to confess.
