"He does look like an asshole." "But an inspector too?" "I found this in his trousers." "Fabio Santini," "Narcotics," "Rome Police." "Not bad." "How did he end up here?" "Ricotta and I found him at the gambling club." "A quiet night eh?" "Let's finish these and go." "Just a minute, isn't that Sorcio's girl?" "Hot girl!" "When Sorcio's away, the kitty will play." "Are you going to pick her up?" "I thought you were busy!" " Hello" " Hello." "Fabio." "It's Vanessa, right?" "Have we met?" "Everyone knows the sexiest doctor in Rome." " Claudio Aniello." " Vanessa." " A pleasure" " Fabio." "That's another emptied." "I live nearby, some for a drink." " And unlock our noses." " Make yourself at home." "Well?" "Where were we?" "You're going to call a taxi and I'm going home." " Are you now?" " I'm exhausted." "Well done, Santini." "A junkie and whoremonger." "A real disgrace to the police." "Now tell me, what are you doing in my home?" "I came for some fun, and to get some coke." "Who told you there'd be coke in the gambling club." " Vanessa." " How do you know her?" "She's a friend of my cousin." " Does she know you're a cop?" " No, I swear she doesn't." "OK, but she was lying." "Kill them." "Wait, fuck, wait!" " Why kill a cop?" " It will help me sleep better." "I'm more useful to you alive." "We get a lot of stuff coming through narcotics." " Good stuff, too." " Kill them." " Please!" " Gte your hands off me!" " Sorry!" " Enough you snivelling cop junkie." "Pass me that Polaroid camera." "If you want to live, you have to have your photo taken." "Open it on your chest." "That's right, with the coke." "Perfect." "Smile." "I'll keep this, ...in case you get smart." "Now celebrate, finish fucking this poor girl." "If you're up to it, that is." "What am I doing with Secoo tomorrow?" "He wants to show you a building site." "He says it's a great opportunity." "50 apartments of 2 or 3 rooms." "They need power and fittings, but they are ready to move into." " Pity they're so far away." " Not for long." "There's going to be a Metro stop nearby, when it's finished." "Take my advice, this area is expanding." "Work's never done." "First I conquer Rome, now I have to rebuild it." "Esposito is in trouble; the banks have blocked the work." "He's going to retire and sell it for peanuts." "How many zeros is that?" "Two.One for the bank, ...and one for the builder." "It's easy money Lebanese, and what's more, it's clean." "I said you can't go in!" "Go away!" "This is private property, you can't come in." " I need to talk to him for a minute." " Now you've really pissed me off." "Who are you?" "Giulio Brega." "What do you want from Lebanese?" "A home." "We've lived in a caravan in Trullo for 20 years." "We don't even have running water." "Why are you asking us?" "Write to the mayor." "We've used up all the stamps writing to him." "He'e more important than the mayor; he's the king." "You're the king of Rome." "How many people are living in huts?" " About 40 families." " 40?" "You don't need a king." "You need a miracle." "Go on, it's a long walk to Trullo." "Have you got the Gemitos working as watchdogs now?" "Better than dogs." "They bark, but don't soil." " Where's Freddo?" " Nowhere to be found, as usual." "Her name is Lin Pin, known as "The Pearl of the Orient"." "Three arrests for soliciting;" "she's the one who called the other day." " Where is she now?" " Vanished, but she left this." "A kids' game?" "No, this is fiendish." "WHat shall we do?" "Ask Borgia to sign an arrest warrant for Pearl." "For what reason?" "For what she was going to tell us about Dandi before she vanished." "Ok, you're the boss." "Why?" "What would you do?" "I would question Cinzia Vallesi." "The Pearl of the Orient said she had information on her too." "But I imagine you won't do that, seeing you're the boss." " About time!" " Where's your friend?" "The Professor is inside, and he's not my friend." "Yeah. your fiend is that guy who only appears when he wants his cut," "Let's get a move on;" "the lesson's already started." "The Italian state is diseased." "The Bolshevik cancer has started to corrode it." "We have to amputate ...before the infection spreads." "And to do this," "..we have to pool our strength," "..and create a new anti-system force," "..open to everyone," "The police, the Church, the magistracy," "..even the man on the street, ...even dropouts," "...or free spirits." "And what do these free spirits have to do?" "Become soldiers of the new movement" "Eliminate the diseased cells." "Do you know who Emilio Donati is?" "Never heard of him." "He's an investigating magistrate." "In spite of our warnings," "..he is still refusing the process of renewal." "I see!" "The "cancer cure" means eliminating your rivals." "I means fighting together ...for a common cause with mutual advantages." "What do you reckon, shall we enlist?" "I don't look good in a uniform." "I do, but I like the ones with lots of stars." "Not just a private." " How many do you want?" " I already have enough." "Because we give the orders in Rome, we don't take them." "Wait." "I said it was to mutual advantage, did I not?" "If you help me, then I could help you." "How?" "With my job." "A psychiatric report stating that you are unsound mind," ".. could get you cleared of a lot of charges." "A report in exchange for the murder of a magistrate?" "A meagre booty." "Fancy Nero bringing us here to listen to this crap." "So this guy decides who's crazy and who's not." "We could get him to look at Freddo, see what's troubling him." "Have you ever been to Florence?" "8 kilos of coke?" "That's right, Bolivian, confiscated yesterday." "What's your cut?" " I'll make do with a kilo." " A kilo?" "You are joking aren't you?" "It's an easy job." "You just go in and help yourselves." "Then why don't you steal it?" "They'd know it was me." "But, I can tell you how to get in." "Where is this treasure being kept?" "At the judiciary storeroom ...on the Collatino." "Stealing from the Police." "I like that idea!" "Santini... if you're trying to cheat me, I'll feed you to the eels." "Does all this belong to your friend?" "Ilaria's loaded." "Marco, what a surprise!" "Tell me the truth, what are you doing in Florence." "I've come to see you." "Fuck you!" "Hi, I'm Serena, a friend of Ilaria." "Fabrizio." "Okay, we'd better go for a stroll." "Yes.." "The coke's in here, on the other side from surveillance." "Any security?" "Just an armoured door, which opens with this." "We've got the key?" "Wait, Who the hell is this Santini?" "Can he be trusted?" "A cop that snorts coke." "He won't cheat, and Bufalo will stay with him anyway." "There's no risk." "There's a slight risk." "Is it worth it?" "Send Buffoni," "You don't get it." "I've stolen from priests, thieves and beggars." "..but never from cops!" "And you're telling me to..." "I'm just saying this is stupid." "Freddo would tell you the same." "Freddo isn't here, and you can..." "Dandi, it's for you!" "Patrizia." "Tell me." "We'll take care of the cops." "What the fuck?" " Where is she?" " Through there." "What's happened." "Nice place." "Tastefully furnished." "You can tell the homo did it." "What do you want?" "To do business betweem tradesmen." "I sell sex, what about you?" "Information" "..and there's got to be a lot of that in here." "You will give us a room where we can listen to your clients, and we guaranee nobody will interfere in your dealings." "I've already got protection." "Dandi?" "Lebanese?" "Or is it Commissioner Scialoja?" "You don't need to give us an answer straight away." "Take your time." "Try and work out" "... if it's worth your while." " Now what the fuck do you want?" "To try the speciality of the house." "I'll get a couple of girls." "I said "the speciality of the house"." "One at a time or both together?" " So they both screwed you?" " You know who they are?" " Who brought them here?" " Tell me who they are." "No!" "Tell me how they came to be here!" "Ranocchia." "Leaving?" "Where are you going?" "To see my mother." "No, spies don't have mothers." "Spies are bastards!" "Tkey had a photo of me with an under-age boy, what could I do?" "You should have minded your own business!" "You've got to stop putting people in hospital." "What if Ranocchia goes to the police?" "What did we open the brothel for?" "Yeah, to put spies in it?" "That's a different matter, Dandi." "When those assholes come back, I'll show them how it works." "Buy you have to keep your cool, OK?" "Excuse me." "We're ready to hit the storeroom." "Good." "Who's doing it?" "Me, you ...and Dandi." "Then he'll stop being such an asshole." "What's wrong?" "We have a problem with the builder." " He wants double now." " Is he stupid?" "He's in deep water." "He must have heard you were behind it." "He's upped the price." "Let's stick him in a block of concrete and dump him in the river." "Too many witnesses." "We cannot risk it." "We'd best forget all about it." "And pull out the first time someone raises his voice?" "I've got a clean job in mind, that will save us lots of money." "I think that's why Ilaria invited me, to help during the delivery." "Help?" " Are you a doctor?" " No." "I'm studying to be a vet." "And who are you?" "A friend of Macro's?" "That's an interesting job." "Are you married?" "Dating?" "You're worse than the cops." "Ask me another question and I'll call my lawyer." "At last!" "Where's Marco?" "His car's gone." "He had to go into town." "You're staying, aren't you?" "Excuse me." "Rosa's giving birth and the calf seems to be stuck." "Come with me, you can give me a hand." "Don't be afraid." "Who did this to you?" "I tripped." "..on a suitcase." "I have fragile bones." "They could have killed you." "Was it a dis-satisfied customer?" "You're not interested in me." "You're only interested in Patrizia." " Did she have anything to do with it?" " Let me give you some advice." "Forget about Patrizia." "She'll never be yours or anyone else's." "Especially now that she's a madam." "What do you mean?" "She's opened a brothel in Parioli." "But you knew that, didn't you?" "Sorry we're closed..." "Where's Patrizia?" "There." " I wondered where you'd got to." " I wondered when you'd find me." "My compliments." "The most elegant brothel in Rome." "You must have got through some clients." " Or was it a present?" " What do you want?" "A prostitution racket." "If you don't co-operate, I'll close it down." "Go ahead." "Do something for once, instead of just threatening to." "Do it and I'll marry you." "Now get out." "I'll come back with a warrant." "I hope so." "The calf is in the wrong position." "I'll inject a muscle relaxant." "A what?" "A muscle relaxant." "To help the delivery along." " Are you afraid of blood?" " No." "Good, because I don't think this will be easy." "Are you coming to help?" "It's a proper brothel." "This proves that the gang is" "..branching out." "So you want it closed?" "Then they'll realise we're on their backs." "It's not that simple." "Prostitution is the vice squad's area." "I'll ask them to investigate." "That will take them weeks!" "We have procedures to follow, with a hierarchy and goals." "..our goal is to arrest Lebanese ...not to arrest a hooker you fancy." "I've got one side done." "Don't worry." "If he wants to talk to you, that's good news." "I hope so." "Brega, you got here." "How many did you say live there?" "About 40 families." "Perfect, I've found you 50 band new apartments in the Anagnina area." "What?" "Go and occupy them." "No one will kick you out." " When can we move in?" " The sooner the better." "I've given you a home." "Aren't you happy?" "Of course I'm happy." "Thanks, Lebanese." "Then hurry, before it gets dark." "Thanks, Lebanese." "And now we're going out to have some fun." "Pull!" "It's coming." "Who is this Lebanese who's giving us a hand?" "What do you mean?" "He's the King of Rome." "Vice Squad." "Did Scialoja send you?" "Police!" "Vice squad!" "I can close it straight away, or shelve the case." "It's up to you." "Our mutual friends are expecting an answer, don't keep them waiting." "Wait for the contractions then pull." "Come on!" "Come on!" "He's lovely." "Let's go." "No," "..we need to leave our signature." "Freddo's missing all this!" " Well?" " Santini?" "Like a lamb." "How did it go?" "Like stealing sweets from a kid." "Santini gets 100 grams." "The rest goes in the kitty." "Okay, I'm going home to bed." "No, let's go inside and celebrate." "No." "I'll drop the guns off at the store and go home." " Bye Lebanese." " Bufalo!" " Can I get a lift?" " You too?" "Let's have a drink." " Lebanese, it's the morning," " Let's toast to the new day" "To the cops we duped, anything you want but don't walk out on me ...like the others." "I'd like to but I have a baby on the way." "You're right." "I'll drink to your baby then," ""We open our programme with today's news"" ""Judge Emilio Donati was shot dead last night in Florence"."

"Better an egg today than a chicken tomorrow." " Pity the egg is so small." " What?" "The flats are full of squatters." "It will cost 50 percent of the original sum to get them out again." "What are you talking about?" "Call the police." "Please yourself but I'm not buying them with squatters there." "Sign, take them money and go fuck yourself!" " I want them out tonight." " What?" "It's my stuff now, and I don't want beggars in my house." " But it's full of people!" " Kick them out!" "Those rats are noseying around Patrizia's place again." "We have to do something, right now." "Rava?" "Ah, Scialoja." "Did you search Cinzia Vallesi's place?" " In record time" " And you didn't find anything?" "After careful checks, no." "It's a private home." "With people coming and going and ten bedrooms?" "Miss Vallesi must like to sleep comfortably." "How much did Dandi pay you to write this crap?" "One more word and I'll sue you." "In fact, take a holiday." "You're losing your grip on this case." "Commissioner!" "Phone call." " Who is it?" " He said "a friend"." "Who is it?" "We met at the toilets in the bar." "Remember?"

"We've left your request for a transfer on your desk." "Sign it." "You can keep those." "We have copies." "Clean this shit up and go home." "This is our home." "What do you want?" "Your home?" "And we're evicting you, OK?" "Put that pasta down!" "Come on!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Out!" "Where do we sleep tonight?" "Get a move on." "You can't kick us out!" "Lebanese told us we could move in." "Who do you think sent us?" "Hurry up!" "Either you're a visionary or Inspector Rava is lying." "You have a lot of faults, but I don't think you're a visionary." "And it's strange they moved so quickly." "It normally takes Vice weeks." "Do you know what I think?" "It's time to have clear out." "Cinzia Vallesi's friends are becoming too powerful."
