"Born in Brooklyn, USA, in 1939..." "In 1965 he was demoted because of his reckless methods." "In 1970 he was a lieutenant working for Interpol anti-drugs unit." "He was fired from the force in 1973 for violent misconduct." "A fine portrait." "Shall I follow him?" "No." "You might win the lottery." "Be careful." "I told them to be careful." "Do you have any change?" "I'll have to owe you." "I don't have enough change." "What do you prefer?" "This one." "He's never there." "Yes, but you keep telling me the same thing." "It wasn't you, I understand." "Asshole." "Get out of here." "Look who it is." "It's been quite some time..." "Not much." "Five years." "Well, it's been a pleasure." "Thanks for visiting." "Goodbye." "One moment..." "First, you must tell me why you're here and what you're doing." "Then I'll leave." "This had better be good." "I'm on holiday." "No, you don't like that one..." "Work." "I'm here for work." "What work?" "The only thing I know." "You as well, I believe." "Is that so?" "We're not in New York..." "Most private investigators starve to death in this hell-hole." "Not me." "I've got clients, and an office." "Clients?" "Who?" "I'd like to know why they attacked you." "Me too." "What are you going to do now?" "Revenge?" "Kill someone?" "The usual mess?" "Me?" "I haven't even got a gun!" "Stop." "Okay, I'm convinced." "I've got a client..." "Just one..." "I'm investigating a failed kidnapping..." "I've been hired to find out who killed him and to recover the ransom." "You?" "Yes, me." "My client doesn't trust the police." "Who is your client?" "That's a professional secret!" "You'll have to figure it out." "Mayer?" "I didn't say Mayer." "Why him?" "A kidnapping where the ransom went missing?" "We haven't had many of them round here." "Just one..." "Old Mayer, the armourer." "Bravo!" "I could be useful to you." "Sure." "They're trying to get me out of way..." "You can arrest them and take all the credit." "What do you think?" "Nothing doing." "This is a police matter..." "You're going back to your country." "Understood?" "You're perfect, really perfect!" "Someone to be respected..." "I'm an Italian police officer who follows the rules..." "You, on the other hand, are an ex-cop, expelled from the the force..." "Who shouldn't be hanging around here." "What's more..." "What's more..." "You're an American!" "American, eh?" "Yes, an American." "Yes, I was born in America, but my father was born in Ceccenza..." "You're from Canezarro, just five kilometers away!" "Damn." "Go and live with the monks!" "Almost." "We all ran the same risks." "No?" "Are you trying to play the romantic with me?" "It's all wasted breath with you." "You're just a monkey who tows the line." "It's better to be a monkey than a delinquent." "A delinquent, eh?" "Just because I chose to leave?" "What a face!" "Free?" "Free to do what?" "Free to do whatever the hell you want!" "And the law?" "Look at the beautiful red foam." "All done." "What's this?" "A milkshake, it's American." "You think I don't get it?" "What?" "It's easier for you now." "You don't need to do any paperwork..." "Rules, regulations." "Nothing!" "You're not accountable to anyone." "Want to know something?" "You're jealous, I know..." "Why not try it?" "We could be colleagues." "What is this crap?" "Canezzaro doesn't like milkshakes." "Be careful." "Who?" "You?" "You know what I mean." "Stop." "Where are you going?" "You can't go up!" "Get out of here!" "I told you..." "Have you gone crazy?" "What do you want?" "I want to see the doctor." "It's impossible." "She's not here." "Call her." "Dr." "Mayer is very ill..." "I don't understand." "I don't care." "What do you mean?" "You have no idea what she's been through." "That's enough." "Leave." "As you wish, doctor." "You shouldn't have come here." "I have a nasty habit of seeing my clients faces." "In this case there are reasons and opportunities you seem to ignore." "Really?" "Never the less, it's been a pleasant surprise." "Do you always make an entrance like that?" "I'm not a diplomat." "I chose a different career." "I know." "Regarding the work..." "It's going well." "I'm making progress and I assure you I..." "Can you cut that out?" "Who is he?" "Can't we be alone?" "He's my brother..." "Aldo, please stop it." "Okay." "That noise is getting on my nerves." "I'm so nervous after all that's happened..." "I have all this responsibility now..." "They built all this thinking it would last forever..." "Nothing lasts forever in this world." "Isn't that right?" "Right." "Look, what I'm trying to say is..." "Look at all those empty ships..." "It's the end of an era, but my father would never admit it." "I've made a firm decision..." "The whole affair has upset me..." "I must try to forget it." "Forget?" "Wait a minute..." "Weren't you mean to pay me $100,000 to find out who killed your father?" "It may seem incredible." "But if I were to tell you nothing could bring him back..." "Perhaps it seems less strange." "What about the $1million ransom?" "Yes, I know." "It's a lot of money..." "But my life is more precious, and these guys don't mess around." "What should I do now?" "Where's my compensation?" "This is for your troubles." "I don't like afterthoughts." "I don't like how you do things..." "I've explained why, be reasonable." "Reasonable?" "They just tried to kill me!" "When?" "Now!" "They shot at me from a car..." "Someone must be informing them." "Any idea who?" "You?" "Forget about it." "I couldn't care less anymore." "I have a nasty habit of starting what I finish." "I know how to find them..." "But I want to know who put them up to it." "I must be honest with you... (?" ") Marked" "Police investigations, lawyers, obstacles and amnesties..." "Perhaps someone could substitute them for justice." "Someone?" "For example?" "You." "It's an advance." "Only 1000 Lira for your fortune." "Now, exit the scene with all the horror you can express." "Yes." "One moment." "Hello?" "It's you." "Are you messing us around?" "What?" "What about the camera?" "What are you talking about?" "There's nothing here..." "Just some rotten fish and a smashed crate." "No way, I'm telling you they were there." "Did an ambulance arrive before us?" "You got there too late!" "Don't take me for a fool!" "You made me come running here..." "Can I start cleaning up?" "Yes, yes..." "Get out of here!" "Listen carefully..." "If this was all a joke..." "Hello?" "Philological Society" "I'm sorry." "Don't be afraid, the concert's over." "Commissioner Logallo." "The phone." "They've started firing now!" "Where the hell are you?" "Who was it?" "Speak up, I can't hear." "Who shot at you?" "I don't know, but there was more than one." "When are you going to leave?" "But I'm having so much fun now." "What fun is there in risking your life?" "Have you made a statement?" "I'll leave it up to you, my love!" "Wait, my friend wants to talk to you." "Hear that?" "He said he loves you." "Asshole!" "Good morning." "Hi." "Do you want to come in?" "My hands are full." "Why don't you pay your rent?" "Let's go." "Can I help you?" "No thanks." "My husband is never home." "He's going away next week." "I understand." "Listen." "Yes?" "Could you tell me where (?" ") is?" "Yes, I know it..." "It's been derelict for years, my husband worked there..." "It's at the end of the port." "What do you do all day?" "You're a mysterious type..." "I'd like to know more about you, but you never talk to me." "Don't you have any friends?" "I always see you alone." "A man can't be alone all the time." "Is it against the law?" "No, but that's not the point." "You're leaving?" "Will you be gone for long?" "They always leave!" "This always happens to me." "By the way, I almost forgot..." "It's for the rent." "Why am I so unlucky?" "Listen, would you do me a favour..." "Tell him to clear out." "Yes!" "Yes!" "Your American friend says you can go." "Nothing, he's vanished." "He gave us the slip." "Here I am!" "Are you trying to scare me?" "Let's go." "Nice place!" "Do you live in here?" "Only in the summer." "What do you want?" "I want to show you something." "You're rich, so what?" "This stuff is hot." "Why?" "Mayer..." "It's from the Mayer ransom, the bills are marked." "How come you know all this?" "One of your friends had them..." "I stole them from him." "I've got to make a living." "Who are these friends of mine?" "The ones who wanted to kill you." "Well..." "Are you going to tell me the truth?" "It's the truth!" "You're hurting me!" "They weren't stupid enough to be robbed by you." "You're wrong!" "I did steal the notes from them." "Yes, the French guy and all of the others..." "Those bastards, I hate their kind!" "I followed them." "They weren't going to be suspicious of someone like me..." "Go on." "I followed them and I found it." "What did you find?" "The money from the ransom." "You should see it, it's all there!" "I saw where they hid it." "It might be hot now, but in a few months..." "Who said I couldn't find it?" "Who'd say that now?" "Lets go." "Come on." "You'd better take a look around, just to be sure." "Hey, you?" "Lets make a deal." "Do you hear me?" "You should ask more politely." "You're a nice guy, but you're also a pain in the ass!" "Well?" "Do you want money?" "What are you looking for?" "I might tell you one day." "...those guys you talked to downstairs, don't you remember?" "He just asked me for a favour." "He's our neighbour..." "He's a tenant." "Has he done something?" "Let's go." "You've shamed me!" "Great!" "Go ahead and beat each other." "What a whore!" "We'll keep an eye on her." "No, it's not worth it." "She isn't that stupid." "Do you really think the American is involved in all of this?" "Why?" "Frankly, I don't think he's up to it." "You don't know him." "We've found him!" "How did you do it?" "An anonymous call." "My compliments." "What the hell is going on?" "Get dressed." "Can't I have a bath in peace now?" "Get a move on!" "You're bad character is affecting your health." "My health was fine before I met you..." "I said get dressed." "What's the hurry?" "You've got to leave!" "Yes?" "Yes." "You must leave." "I didn't know..." "Okay, but why can't I leave tomorrow?" "No, tomorrow is the 27th." "I've got to collect my salary." "The monkey..." "You remember the monkey?" "Yes." "Please let me finish, I don't do this often." "You'll have a bath another time." "Move it!" "Get him onboard." "Damn it!" "Do you want to get me in trouble?" "You know I must be prudent..." "If a boat stops me with him on board, it'll be the end for me." "That's your business." "Wait as long as possible until you take off the handcuffs..." "If he creates trouble go heavy on him and don't hold back." "You like travelling with cargo, don't you?" "Sure..." "Sure." "I remember my grandfather who came as an immigrant." "That's right, think about your grandfather." "How nice!" "You've got all time you need." "It'll take 40 days to get to Sydney." "40 days, eh?" "I assure you, it'll be a great trip..." "You'll have time to think about your father, your mother and your grandfather..." "All of your family." "That's great!" "I'm so happy." "Goodbye..." "Don't come back." "Ciccezza Canezarro..." "Five kilometres, Localo." "Five kilometres!" "Lets go." "I love you." "Car 16." "Car 16." "Respond." "Okay, I'm coming." "Let's hope that lunatic doesn't return." "Not a chance." "Don't worry." "Do you think so?" "I don't think he can swim back from Sydney." "Hey, you." "The captain wants to see you." "Who?" "Me?" "Yes, hurry up." "Thanks." "This way." "Up." "Thanks a lot my friend." "Get out of here." "What?" "Jump overboard." "Overboard?" "I'll never make it back." "That's your problem." "No, no, no..." "Well?" "Yes, yes, yes." "Thanks a bunch!" "I forgot to make my bed." "I can go back inside..." "Bastard!" "What happened to you?" "A unforseen bath." "What are you doing here?" "I like taking risks." "Otherwise, I'd be a surveyor." "Why are you looking at me like that?" "I'm trying to understand you." "Is it difficult?" "Yes." "Maybe you should've stayed on the ship." "How did you know I was there?" "You might have to call a doctor, I feel like an ice-cube." "I don't think you'll live long." "Yes?" "What do you care?" "It would uspet me." "Really?" "Of course." "Then call a doctor." "I am the doctor." "Sacha:" "Classical Dance School" "Continue." "I'll be right back." "Have you gone mad?" "Put it back in your pocket." "I don't do that stuff anymore." "It's been years now." "Do you know who the Frenchman is?" "No." "It's the truth." "Why don't you believe me?" "Make yourself at home." "What do you think of my pad?" "It's your usual bad taste." "It looks like a mess." "Tell me what you've been up to." "When did we last meet?" "Was it New York?" "Are you still with the police?" "No..." "Don't tell me you didn't know." "Ah!" "Yes!" "I remember." "Excuse me, we..." "Get out of here." "You pain!" "Would you like some tea?" "I've got some great Indian tea!" "You don't know the Frenchman, eh?" "Or where this stuff will end up?" "You don't know anything." "Where is it headed?" "To a clinic but it's difficult to get inside." "Only users are allowed in..." "You won't get past them." "What do I have to do to get in?" "How do I know?" "What's that meant to mean?" "You're still taking it." "What do I have to do?" "Take it." "That's it!" "You can't..." "See?" "See how it's done?" "That's why you can't get in..." "You're not one of them." "How do I get in?" "You need an introduction." "What?" "There's this guy." "Who?" "A doctor." "What's his name?" "I don't know." "Who is he?" "Please, I've always helped you..." "But I can't help you now." "Do you like it?" "It's very nice." "It's very rare." "It must be valuable?" "Where are you working now?" "It hasn't changed much." "What do you do?" "I work for myself." "You had a great idea." "Working for yourself is something else." "Yes." "My God!" "No..." "If you don't want me to trash the place, you'd better tell me his name and his address!" "Look who it is!" "My handsome tenant!" "You can't even walk properly." "Look at the state of you!" "Where are you going?" "Come here, I'll help you." "There..." "You're really baked, you should drink less." "Let me help you." "No..." "No." "Thanks." "I found this." "Sure..." "You imbeciles always follow the obvious path." "He's got his ways, but he's not a drug addict..." "He hates that stuff." "It might not be drugs..." "Why don't we have it examined?" "No, I trust my nose more than those guys." "Heroin." "He's the hotel owner." "I'm so sorry, I was away." "Has something happened?" "Nothing serious..." "Drugs..." "Heroin." "What do you know about it?" "Me?" "Why should I know?" "Sure, he doesn't know anything." "What kind of guy was he?" "He was nice." "Very attractive..." "I want to know how he looked..." "Is that clear?" "He had short dark hair, medium build..." "That could be anyone!" "Anything else?" "What?" "I noticed that he didn't drink." "Nothing at all?" "No, he drank something called a 'milkshake'." "Okay, okay." "I understand." "Go, go!" "It's him." "You hear that?" "I told you it was him!" "Sure." "How did he get off that ship?" "Damn bastard!" "There's something much bigger going on." "What'll we do with this?" "Stick it up your...!" "They've found the taxi." "Incredible!" "Let's go." "Get inside." "I need you!" "Don't go." "Don't go!" "Wait here for me, I'll come back." "Stop there, Frenchman!" "Now, we're gonna have a little chat." "I really want you to..." "Stop." "He tricked me." "I must be getting old." "You're an asshole." "Now I get it." "That son of a...!" "Have you ever worked in the theatre?" "No..." "How strange!" "You have the laconic stare of an actor." "Would you like some whisky?" "No thanks, I don't drink." "That's right, you only drink milkshakes." "Tell me something..." "What do you do?" "I wait." "You wait?" "We're all waiting for something..." "Some wait for love, some wait for success or money." "What are you waiting for?" "Death." "I've got someone coming to visit, let him up." "Okay." "You know something..." "I really like you." "If I can help in any way?" "Really?" "Give me the key to my room." "Put it on the bed..." "I want to count it." "I said put it on the bed." "Hurry up." "Come on!" "There's client waiting for you in my room." "May I?" "Splendid execution." "I guess it didn't work then." "You're not as stupid as I thought." "Or perhaps you're just lucky?" "You really are a marvelous whore..." "You tried to kill me but it didn't work." "Do you think I'm crazy?" "No, heaven forbid." "I thought about it..." "I came to the conclusion that I'm a genius." "In front of this, genius doesn't count for much." "I'm glad to see you're alive." "Really?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because I'm a woman." "Really?" "I hadn't noticed." "You really are a cop." "I was once." "Here..." "Here... and here." "Want me to talk like a cop?" "I'm listening." "You planned the kidnapping and murder of your father." "He was a sick old man." "I only accelerated the inevitable." "You never paid the ransom but you put a price on it." "I needed an alibi." "Then I used you to get rid of the people who knew too much..." "Genius, eh?" "No." "Why not?" "In that clinic loaded with drugs..." "I found one of your masterpieces." "I told you shipping was dead." "I need to find new avenues." "And you found them." "Are you playing the morality card?" "No." "Definetely not." "I was educated in the school of power..." "Power is a subtle game..." "Lets suppose you go to the police and tell them everything..." "They'll never believe someone like you, and there are no witnesses because you killed them..." "It's a shame about your little mistake." "It can be fixed." "As long as I don't pay you, I'm safe." "You've got it together, but you're slipping up..." "Let me teach you something:" "The people in charge are the ones with money..." "Right now, whoever holds this is in charge." "Job completed Compensation paid up." "$100,000." "Money is like men, don't love them too much." "What are you going to do now?" "I'll deliver it to my friend Locallo." "Feel like a hero?" "No, I don't look at it like that." "Surprised?" "Yes." "Do you really like them?" "They help me to relax." "I really don't think it's relaxing you." "This is one of the pitfalls of solitude..." "Locallo, I'm your friend." "You were, a long time ago." "By the way, I've decided to take your advice." "I'm leaving." "Shit!" "Did you hear what I said?" "I'm leaving!" "You have to be calm, concetrate and have good reflexes..." "My work is finished..." "Officially, at least." "I've got one loose end to tie up." "If I were you I'd have trusted him." "I had something to tell you." "You could have called me." "It would have been wiser." "Why?" "Now you're here, I'm forced to arrest you." "Don't you want to listen to me?" "No!" "Stop." "You're joking, right?" "Not this time." "Come on." "Walk." "What?" "I said walk." "You taught me that trick." "This thing I'm trying to tell you, that you don't want to hear..." "Here." "Read it." "Then you...?" "Right." "Then you were never kicked out of the police?" "Never!" "It's an old trick I use to skip procedures..." "Yes!" "I'm still with you." "Give me your hand." "You know what your problem is?" "You take things too seriously." "We meet again." "I'm just clearing up my mess." "Where are we going?" "To get the $100,000" "Such a small amount!" "You know I love money." "The people with money are in charge of the game, remember?" "You see?" "He's on form." "I can do better." "Now we want an answer." "What can I say?" "She paid me to kill your friends." "We saw you with that policeman!" "Calm down!" "If you're nice, I'll tell you the rest later." "I told you they wouldn't believe you." "I had to try." "If you don't talk you'll make things worse for both of us..." "You think you're a tough guy but those days are over now..." "I'm dying to teach you a lesson I wouldn't want to assist with..." "I'm more than capable of doing it." "Isn't that what you said?" "Right now your words don't count for much." "It's not exactly what I said, but the meaning is the same." "Shall we go?" "Move it." "It's like a labyrinth, it's hard to orientate myself." "This way!" "Here we are." "Isn't this fabulous?" "Look at all this beauty." "Please..." "Make yourselves at home." "There's space for everyone." "Is the money here?" "You remind me of an old friend..." "Get a move on!" "Hurt?" "No, I'm enjoying it." "This is the safe." "Does the heater work?" "Not in the summer." "Ingenious!" "How did you think of it?" "I was a sailor once." "When did you sign up?" "Hey, Frenchman." "Do you know how to count?" "Tell me something." "Yes, dear." "Why did you let yourself get caught?" "I was dying to see you." "I did tell you." "If you want to find someone then let them find you." "Whoever has the cash is in charge of the game, right?" "Right." "After him!" "Don't let him get away." "Watch out." "Stop." "They're getting away." "Get back on that ship and stay on it until you reach America!" "They killed one of our men." "Stop!" "Come back here you fool!" "Imbecile." "The gate is locked." "Sons of bitches!" "Make him drive faster." "Accelerate!" "Accelerate, idiot!" "I said accelerate." "Don't be scared." "Let me off!" "Silence!" "Drive faster." "You had this coming..." "It's time to clean up." "Goodbye Sherri." "Hurry up!" "Start the engine." "They're crazy." "Be quiet." "Stay where you are." "Where did she go?" "Hold it right there." "Don't move." "You know how to make a man run." "If you'd listened this wouldn't have happened." "Give me the money." "Sure, help yourself." "I thought I could teach you something." "Instead it was you who taught me..." "Yes?" "What?" "Money and power aren't important..." "It's the emotions you can buy with them." "All I wanted was some emotion..." "Something to reinvigorate my life." "All told, I did get it with you." "It's time to..." "I'm not scared." "What a shame, we might have been happy together." "You think so?" "I'm not so sure." "Subtitled by John F. Kennedy and the New Wave Tripods." "14th and 15th July 2008" "Special Thanks to Cinetoscopio and Pollanet"
