""Chevreuse valley July 24th 1952"" "..."Last minute news flash, the well known owner of numerous Paris gambling establishments, Raphael Bozzoconi, was shot to death last night."" "Bozzo, I can't believe it !" ""The murder was committed when he was on his daily visit to his mother." "He was from Ajaccio and was often involved in crime businesses." "His heroic conduct in the resistance movement earned him a full pardon for his earlier crimes." "Since then, he seemed to had quieten down." "However, Superintendent Villedieu, in charge of the investigation, assume Bozzoconi's murder indicates he had not severed his connections with the underworld."" "What do you think ?" " Nothing." " I go to town." " I wait for you in the car and drive you." "Hurry up, you're going to be late." "Here Tonio." "And try to behave." " So, what do you say ?" "Thanks, Fanto !" "And you, you're supposed to set the example !" "Bye, Angèle." " Wait, I come with you." "Fanto, do you sleep home tonight ?" " Not tonight." "Thanks, Angèle, it was great being here for the wedding." " It was great for us too." "We don't see you often enough." " Bye." " Bye, Fanto." " So long, Roger." "Hi, Fanto." "Did you heard about Bozzo ?" " Yes." "Ange Leoni called me on the phone last night." "He wants to speak to you." "I was at Angèle's sister wedding." "What does he want ?" "You gotta get to Paris as soon as possible." "Luckily you were at the wedding." "Hi, Vinci." " How are you ?" " Fine." "Hi, Pascal." "I bet you were talking about Bozzo." " It's quite a loss." "You know he was here less than a month ago ?" "We're sure gonna hear about it !" "Come on, let's go." "See you, Pascal." " So long." "Good morning, Pauline." " Good morning." "How's your son ?" "How are they treating him down there ?" "Bad." "He says it's okay." "But I know they turn mad in prison." "Here..." "It's for his small expenses." "And this is for you, till he get out." " Thanks." " What's his lawyer saying ?" "He says he is going to get out of prison after the trial." "Well, you can tell Mr Provani I'll see him for the expenses." "Goodbye, Pauline." "Lord, please protects them both." "I gotta get to Paris, Ange wants to see me." " About Bozzo ?" " Yes, probably." "What about us ?" "Any changes ?" " I don't think so." "Anyway, don't change anything for the boat business." "Then I can go to Paris with you." "Paulo can take care of everything here." "No, thanks." "But it would be great if you could let me use your car." "My car ?" "Sure." "Are you leaving right away ?" "I take your keys but I'm leaving only this evening." "It's too hot, now." "Mario, cool it." "I'm so sorry about this poor Bozzoconi." " I lost a true friend." " I know." "And now ?" "Do I have to find somebody else ?" "I'll be taking over." "A friend, Sam." "Some friends and..." "Fanto." "Fantoni is my partner." "He'll be handling Corsica and the Mediterranean coast." "Mario..." " You would have made a mistake if you hadn't followed us up." "It's a good job, with very little risks." "Anyway, for you." " There's always a risk." " Minimal." " Are we keeping the same figures ?" "Yes." "And 2700 cartons." "Plus the insurance." "It's going to be great, you'll see." "That's the first time we're in business together, you Americans and us." "Since the war, there's been Americans all over the world." "Do you realize that the Mediterranean is practically an american concession !" "And it's gonna stay that way for a long time." "I understood that during the landing in Sicily, when we released the prisoners." "I figured that if the GIs and the Sicilians could get along..." "So could we." "I hope so." "Can I offer you an other Martini ?" " No, thanks." "As I understand it, my company insure your cargo for 94 500 dollars." "En route to Malta." "I checked the record of the Florienza, everything's in order." " Perfect." "You're carrying only boxes of Lucky Strike and Camel, right, Mr Everett ?" "Sure, nothing else." "I'd never insure such a cargo yet." "27 tons of cigarettes !" "Look..." "Can you please come with me." "You see ?" "Do you want to choose a box and open it ?" "No, it won't be necessary." " Take this." " Listen, please..." " And an other one for your chauffeur." " No, no..." "Let's go and sign, now." "Can I borrow your pen ?" " Of course, please." "Thanks." "He should be calling soon." " What take him so long ?" "Nobody move !" "Don't be a jerk !" "Give me this." "Where's your boss ?" "Where's your boss ?" " Down below." " Go ahead, hurry up !" "You too, get out !" "Come on, faster !" "You take the helm." "Head to Marseilles." "Drop your gun or I shoot him." "Okay, we're all going below." "In there, all of you." " Who's the boss, here ?" " I am." "Why couldn't you say it before ?" "Come on, we've got to talk to you." "Enough !" "Move !" "It was just amazing !" "It's Paulo, a friend of Fanto and Vinci." "Fanto wasn't telling this." "You guys are real pirates !" "Pirate, we may not be, but all Corsicans are born sailors, even shepherd's sons !" " Who hit me ?" " I did, but just for the show !" "Don't ever do it again !" "Now look, the crew had witnessed everything." "That's what's important." "Now let's go call Marseilles." "Looks like there's a itch." "He's signaling." "Shit, the coast guards." "It's screwed for here." "We must warned your brother in Corsica." "Ange, Everett's calling from the Florienza." "What the hell do you mean ?" "You don't want me to go to Marseilles ?" "No..." "I'd rather go to Italy." "At least Lucky Luciano's there." "I don't want to go to Corsica." "Is everything going to be ready ?" "You're going to be there too ?" "Good." "There's a change of plan." "I figured it out already but what's happening ?" "The coasts of Marseilles are crawling with custom's agents." "And Leoni just told me if we get there, we're all gonna get screwed." "Are Fanto and Vinci also coming ?" "Yes, by plane." "This change really annoys me." " What have you got against Corsica ?" " It's not about Corsica, we just don't like last minute changes." "I would had prefer to deal with Lucky Luciano." "I could had happily get off in Italy." "It's going to be fine with us too, so cool it." "How long will it take to get there ?" " About a day." "I want you to make it as quick as possible." "I want to get rid of the cargo." "Come in closer." "You got about six feet." "Glad to see you !" "Is this place safe ?" "It should be alright." "It's a private place and here's the guy who owns it." "Sauveur Leoni, Ange's brother." "Oh, you're the older Leoni, it's a pleasure !" "We brought the trucks over there." "Come on, boys, hurry up, we got at least five or six trips to do." "Are you sure this place is as safe as Marseilles ?" "Why not ?" "And besides, you're lucky, it's the most beautiful country in the world !" "Sure, it's a beautiful country but I got to go." " Tangiers ?" " That's right." "For the insurance." "After all, I've been hijacked !" "The boys are gonna take you to high-sea." "You could free the Florienza's crew once there." "Fanto." "We can afford to smoke a carton or two of these !" "That's for sure !" "What a bundle !" "You're up early for a change !" " Hi, Vinci." " Hello, Francis." "How are you, guys ?" "I'm glad to see you." "Was it alright ?" "Did you made it easily ?" " Sure." "Just have a look." " And that's the last trip, the rest have already been stashed." " I've done a hell of a job here with my team." "Let me show you." "Not bad, isn't it ?" "What do you think about it ?" " Great work, kid !" " I feel a bit weird about it, but it's not a bad idea." "I spoke with my brother, he's glad." "Is everything fine ?" "My friends !" "I just finished talking with Ange." "Him and Francois cheers you from Marseilles." "He's really glad, you know ?" " He can be !" "Some boat was spot in our place yesterday." "They had to chuck all the cigarettes out !" "They are floating up and down the Mediterranean !" "That keeps the competition out !" "Are you going back to Marseilles ?" " Yes." "Tomorrow with Vinci." "Vinci, is it still okay with you for Marseilles tomorrow ?" " Sure." " As you go to Marseilles tomorrow, please give that to my sister." "She's gonna like it." " What is it ?" " Never mind." "Just a little gift from her brother." "Come on guys, with me !" " Hi." " Hi, kid." " Hello, flower girl !" " I can't believe it, it's been a while !" "Hello." " Hello, Nuncia." "Couldn't you had brought Francis with you ?" "No, but he should be coming in a few days." "He gave this for you." "For me ?" "It's so nice !" "He sure cares for you !" " I really wish he was here." " What about us ?" " It's not the same thing." "You know that, don't you ?" " But Nuncia, when a girl is pretty like you, a brother ain't everything !" " I know my brother's friends and the life they offer." "It's not for me, it's frightening me." " But Nuncia..." " Let me talk, I kept this on my chest for too long." "One day the police arrived to my house..." "They came to tell my mother that my father was lying on the street with two bullets in his head." "So the fear, the visiting room, the police questioning, I know that too well." "I don't want to hear about it anymore." "Who's that for ?" "That's for Mireille, from the Colonies bar, you know her, don't you ?" "Say what ?" "Just think she never wanted with me !" "I'll go greet her." "Did you see that Fanto ?" "What the hell are you doing ?" "Are you trafficking weed now ?" " Don't be silly," "It's not for me !" "My cousin Thérèse gave them to me. there were soaking wet and she hasn't a place to dry them." ""Boarding of an american boat." "Pirates get hold of the cargo."" "What are you going to do with it ?" "Sell them ?" "I told you, they're not mine." "I'm just drying them." "Do you want us to drop this ?" "Aren't you afraid to look like a fool with flowers in the street ?" "I thought men didn't like that sort of things." "Your brother also has gallant friends you know." "Just look at him !" "I'm sorry I didn't mean that for you." " Are you sure ?" "We've done nothing but talking and I forgot to give you this." " What's this ?" " Just a small something." "I'll see you later." " Why ?" "Don't you come with me ?" "No." "I got to drop by home and to see Roger in the hospital." " So, see you at Pascal's." " Okay, bye." "What's going on, Maestracci ?" " Bozzoconi, you know him ?" "What's this ?" " You mean you don't know ?" "Are you afraid of unpleasant encounters ?" "Let's go for a ride !" "Are you shivering or just showing off ?" "Cut it !" "I'll never get along with Paris." "The weather's always bad." " Hello, Maestracci." " Hello, Superintendent." " How was your trip ?" " Just great." " Did you got sun in Marseilles ?" " Sure, what else could I got ?" "Our friend, Fantoni." "Have a seat." "Do you know this man ?" "Never saw him." "Is it ?" "What about this ?" "See you know this guy Michaeli." "Dominic Michaeli." "Oh yes..." "As a matter of fact, we're cousins." "Your photo is awful." "We got hold of the photographer." "This photo was taken a month before the murder of Bozzoconi." " Could be." "What were you doing at the Trocadero with Michaeli ?" "He invited me to meet his fiancée." "Your future cousin." "How touching !" "Don't tell me that's why I've been arrested !" " Michaeli was found dead in a hotel room." " When ?" " 48 hours ago." "How is that strikes you ?" " I liked him well." " Save the tears !" "Do you know why he was hiding in that room ?" "He's the one who shot down Raphael Bozzoconi." "And there's witnesses." "Two people from Saint-Rémy." "They had identified him." "What do I have to do with that ?" "Michaeli was just a small murderer." "The one we want is the one who hired him." "Maybe you can give us some informations, Mr Fantoni." "What ?" "I hope you're joking, superintendent." " We got a phone call." " I bet you got a lot of phone calls." " One of your friends." " Of course." "A friend who just wanted to help me." "So ?" "You wanna talk now ?" "No, superintendent." "Don't waste your breath." "That ain't my style." "Well..." "Show in Mr Poli." "Do you know Mr Poli ?" "He's the expert who spot faces at Bozzo's club." "Stand up, Fantoni." "Mr Poli, have you ever seen this man ?" " Yes." " Where ?" " At the club." " How often did you see him there ?" " Four or five times shortly before" "Mr Bozzoconi's death." " Did he gamble ?" "No, he came to visit Mr Bozzoconi." "Thank you, Mr Poli." " I'm sorry, Mr Fantoni, but I'm sure these gentlemen are wrong." " Yeah, forget it." "Please leave now, Mr Poli !" "So ?" "..." "It's a settling of scores, right ?" " What scores ?" " Come on, you were in business with Bozzoconi." "Did you had a quarrel about the Florenzia ?" "The Florenzia ?" "What's that ?" " You really don't know anything, do you ?" "The boat they attacked last week." "27 tons of cigarettes." "It was last week." "Bozzoconi had been killed three months ago." "Where's the connection ?" "You saw Bozzoconi a lot before his death." "Why ?" "We were in business together but anyway I wasn't even in Paris the day he was killed." "I got an alibi." "I know, a wedding: ten witnesses !" "You guys always have ten witnesses !" "You have nothing against me, so what am I doing here ?" "I want my lawyer Mr Trosiani to be contacted." "You'll ask that the judge." "You're going to stay with us for a while, Fantoni." "Concealed weapons and suspicion." "Angèle, what are you doing here ?" "I got Mr Trosiani to arrange a visitor's pass for me." "I thought you didn't like prisons." "I had to talk to you." "What's happening ?" "Francis ask me to tell you, about the cigarettes..." " What about the cigarettes ?" "They had been taken." "They're not here anymore." "What are you saying ?" "What are you saying ?" " I tell you they're not here anymore." "Motherfuckers !" "They pulled a fast one on me because I'm buried here since three months !" "Bastards !" "Who did it ?" " Francis doesn't know but he thinks it have been sold out already, because Marseilles is flooded with american cigarettes." "What are saying Vinci and Paulo ?" "I heard they are in a shitty situation." "They got into big troubles." "They are hiding but nobody knows where." "Does Francis saw Sauveur ?" " Sauveur says he knows nothing and told him to mind his own business." " Sauveur ?" "Anyway, he's not operating alone in Ajaccio anymore." "His brother sent him a crew from Paris." "Francois Pacceli and some others..." "What's behind all this ?" " Fanto, don't let all that start over again, please." "Guard !" "I just spoke to the prosecutor..." "He's not happy about Fantoni." "Seven months in custody and we still don't have anything." "We can't send him to assizes with that." "Why don't you let him go ?" "You almost sound as if it was making you happy." "Well, it does..." "Fantoni out... could be quite interesting to watch." "Explain yourself, Maestracci." "In prison, hoods are thinking a lot." "And you practically told Fanto he was fingered by this phone call." "So we're going to have more settling of scores." "Just unleash the beast and start counting bodies." " It's just about it." " Do you think it's gonna work ?" "You can be sure of it." "It's a matter of pride." " How's that ?" " You, the pinsutis..." "The what ?" "The pinsutis, superintendent." "The mainland frenchies." "Do you know what is "curenbeco" ?" "It's the word for contempt." "Contempt for the one who had been double-crossed and didn't avenge himself." "Isn't it better to loose face than to be dead ?" "Of course, but being french, it's only about you." "While in Corsica the shame's gonna be for all the family." "And your kids are going to stay the children of a coward." "Let's go back to Fantoni." "What good can he do for us ?" "To begin with, it's gonna help lower our workload." "And besides, it's probably going to lead us to a bigger game." "Who knows ?" "Maybe to the Florienza." "Hopefully." "Do you want some more wine ?" "Sure." " Hi." " Hi, kid." "Hello." "It's good to see you !" " Really ?" "Of course." "Okay, be seated, it's on me." "Cheers, welcome back." "Cheers." "Now tell me:" "what's the hell is going on ?" "Take it easy." "We're here to explain everything." "Our dealers ran out of merchandise." "We had to supply them, that's all." "You could had told me before." "How ?" "You were in prison !" "So what ?" "I got a lawyer !" "And the guys of my team weren't in jail." "Let's come to them !" "They are on the run since you've been jailed." "They are wanted now." "They robbed a bank at La Timone: one dead." "An other dead in Vitrolles." "And two team members down." "They only get away by miracle !" "So now they sleep on their ammo and it ain't easy to come close to them." "What about Francis ?" " You're not serious !" "Francis is not a hood !" "We had to wait to see you out." "I don't feel like you were waiting for me." "Fanto, I came to tell you something." "Now Leoni is doing okay on his own with Everett." "So from now on, he wants it to be every men for himself." "Are you fucking kidding me ?" "I brought you your share of the cigarettes." "But from now on, you're on your own." "You can keep your money." "You won't get me that way." "Leoni double-crossed me and everyone in Marseilles knows about it." "Tell him to come to see me." " He's not here right now." "He's in the States." "Then when he'll be back, tell him this place is too small for him and me together." "Fanto, you shouldn't talk like this." "Don't tell me what I have to do, kid." "Okay, Fanto." "I'll deliver your message." "Hello, Fanto." "Hello, Sauveur." "It's good to see you out." "Can I have a word with you." "Sure, if you want to." "Francesca !" "Come, Francis." "Hi." " Hi, Fanto." " What are you doing here ?" " We thought about you, you know ?" "Thanks." "Have a seat." "I'm not gonna stay." "Tell me something, Sauveur: why didn't you tell Francis about the cigarettes ?" "And why did you kick him out when he came to see you ?" "We didn't had a deal with him, but with you." "Francis is my friend." "And you also said I couldn't be contacted, according to him." "By the way, do you know how I get busted ?" "No." "Somebody squealed." "Any idea of whom it might be ?" "Why are you asking me ?" " The cops got an anonymous phone call." "And I want to find this Mr Anonymous." " You think you're gonna find him here ?" " Why not ?" " You're gonna feel sorry for that, Fanto !" "There's only worthy men, here." "Scumbags who squeal for a residence permit have nothing to do in the Marinella." "Or else people would know about it." " I've been busted right at the good time, who got the benefit of it ?" " You're going too far, Fanto." "Way too far !" "If God wills, nothing's gonna stay unpunished." "Yes, I also hope so." "Let's go, Francis." "He made a mistake..." "I want Fanto dead." "From now on, there's not a place left where he can go !" "Cool it, looks like Pascal's car." "It's Fanto !" "Finding you wasn't easy, you know ?" "It's great to see you !" " You too." "Hi Paulo, countryside seems to agree with you." "The team is reunited once again !" "How are you ?" "Could be a lot better." "Why ?" "Did something happen ?" " Pascal didn't tell you ?" " No, he didn't." " It's a long story." "You sure found a nice place !" " Not bad, isn't it ?" "Come on in." "Make yourself at home." " It's just fine, here." "Do you like it ?" "Have a seat, Francis." "What do you want to drink ?" " Pastis." "Give us some Pastis." "Wait, let me show you the rest of the place first." "How about that Pastis, Paulo ?" "Jesus, what a place !" "You should see that, Francis, they got a regular arsenal upstairs !" "You still got your Colt 12 ?" " No, that's a new one, Maestracci took the old one when I got busted." " Loyal as usual !" " You know me." "Come on. "Pace salute"." ""Pace salute"." "He's the only one who could had fingered me." " No, Fanto." "I know Ange like I know you, it's not possible he gave you." "Plenty of guys would sneak to make some extra money." "Ange ain't no bastard." "You can rely on him." "Is that what you think ?" "We were in business together and he sent someone to tell me he was now teaming up with Everett and he didn't need me anymore." "I look just like an idiot, now !" "It does make a difference if they're now dealing without you." "Yes, and you want to know why ?" "Because I got fingered and busted." "I got released after seven months and they don't know me anymore !" "I can't accept that !" "So that's why you shot Sauveur ?" " Do you realize what you're rubbing up against ?" "That's my business." "I won't let people think I'm a sissy !" "What's the matter with you, anyway ?" "!" "Did you get your share of the cigarettes job ?" "But nobody could find us." " I found you, come on !" "I'm going out for a smoke." "You know Vinci, Francis and I are not going to stay for long." "Why ?" "Don't you agree with this place ?" " Sure, I do." "But after what happened in Ajaccio, it's too risky for you to keep me here." "I'm not gonna walk out on you." "But Leoni is a tough one to deal with." "But I'm glad to have you here." "Anyway we're leaving in three days." "An informer sold me a job." "We've got it all figured, Paulo and me." "Something big ?" "15 to 20 million." "The two of you're enough for the job ? The stars are really sparkling up there." "Reminds me my father in Zivaco." "Every night, he used to watch the stars and tell me: "I'll leave them to you along with the goats." "That's all a man needs."" " Don't tell me it wasn't enough for you !" " As you can see !" "Pascal ?" "What does he want ?" "Hello, Pascal." " Kid, something happened to Nuncia." " What ?" "She has been taken away by a couple of guys just in front of her shop." " But when ?" " This morning, at the opening." " Leoni's behind this." " Did they hit her ?" "No, I don't think so." "But they mentioned your name, so we followed them." "I know you were out here so I figured out it was a frame." " Where did they took her ?" " Don't worry, we're gonna find her." "Come on." " Hurry up !" " I'm coming with you." " You're planning a job right now, remember ?" " That's two different things." "Nuncia is strickly a family business." "The response to Sauveur's death." "I know Nuncia too." " Vinci, and me !" "?" " You stay here." "Somebody got to keep the place." "I just go along to piss him off." "She must be in Pierrot's bordello on the coast road." "Hop in, quiclky !" "Who are you ?" "What do you want ?" " I give a minute to guess, you bitch !" "Where is the girl ?" "What girl ?" " The one they brought here this morning." "Where is she ?" "Speak, you bitch !" "Are you going to speak, you bitch !" "Fanto." "Don't be afraid." "Nuncia." "Come on, quick !" "Come on." "We're taking you at Joseph's place." "Who brought you the girl ?" "Don't you understand ?" "Who brought you the girl ?" "Come on, who ?" " Faniglio." " Faniglio ?" " Scumbag." " Where is he ?" " I don't know." " Where is he ?" " I don't know, he was supposed to eat on the marina." " Fanto, I'll take care of Faniglio." " No, don't get mixed up in this, Francis." " No, she's my sister." "I have to take care of it." " Take her to the car." " So what ?" "We wreck the place ?" " Yeah !" "Come on, let's go." " You want it or not ?" "Hide quickly !" "Against the wall." ""We have to open this bulletin by a shocking news." "This morning, a bloody hold-up left one dead and three wounded, near Gardanne." "The police believes it was the work of the notorious 'Black jacket' gang." "The getaway car, a Ford Vedette, was found a few kms away from the scene of the crime." "Roadblocks had been set up..."" " Not with your fingers !" "Go on and eat quietly." "I won't be long." "Did you hear that ?" " Yes." "They did it, isn't it ?" "When are they gonna stop ?" " When they'll be all dead." "They've all gone crazy." "I pray everyday for Joseph to sell his garage, so we can go back in Corsica." "I want to go back home, Angèle." "I want to go home." "Who was there ?" " I already told you:" "Everett, Leoni and François." "All that bunch at Grisoni's." "Seems like something big is coming." "I like to feel them close to me." "It warms me up." "Come on, Joseph, why are you making this face ?" "If you got something to say, spit it up !" " Okay." "It bugs me..." "But I have to say..." "Listen, Francis..." "Come on, spit it up !" "I'm worrying about Nuncia." "With Leoni in town now, Angèle is all uptight." "And my kids being around don't help..." " You're afraid, right ?" "You want us to take Nuncia ?" " I don't mean that," "I just think you should send her back to Corsica." "She'd be much more safer there than here." "Than Francis could go, and then you a bit later." "What do you think, Fanto ?" "Is the road you took safe to you ?" " I got here okay, do I ?" "It's the "fire road', nobody uses it." " Okay, Joseph, we're coming with you." "You think it's a smart idea going to Marseilles so soon ?" "Why change our plans ?" "We're cool here." "And like I said, it just can't be Leoni who sold you out." "Drop it, Fanto." "It's for you, Joseph." "Go start the car." "Francis, go with him." "Vinci, now we're even." "This time, don't ask me to come along." " I can go alone and see what I can do." " There's nothing more to do." "It was different for Nuncia because you know her." "But for Leoni, it's just about him and me, isn't it ?" "Yes." "If I don't come back, split the money." "So long." "I wish them luck." "You're crazy to come here." " No, you've got to go." "But don't worry, we'll soon be all reunited..." " No, I don't want to go without you." "Without the two of you." "Did you come down only because of me ?" "We might say that." "We think it's better if you go first." "In a day or two." " What about you ?" " We'll meet you as soon as possible." "Look, Nucia." "There's times you just need to trust your men." "No matter what they do." "So stop asking so many questions." "You'll make it easier for all of us." " You want the usual car ?" " I would prefer a faster one." "Come on." "What have you got in stock ?" " How about that one ?" "Is she fast ?" " Yes, I just have her overhaul." "Fanto." "Take care of Francis." "Swear the two of you are going to meet me in Corsica." "Swear it." " You have my word, Nuncia." "So long, Joseph, thanks." "So long." "Who's the guy with them ?" "It's Conti, a friend of Grisoni." "It smells like there's a big deal on the fire." "I start to understand why they dump me." "When they needed a gunner to do a dirty job, I was just the man of the situation." "But now, they're pretending to be men of the world." "What's wrong, Francis ?" "Have you been hit ?" "No, I'm fine." "We got them, didn't we, Fanto ?" "What's wrong, Francis ?" "You're hurt !" "Pull it, I'm gonna drive." " No, it's okay." "I said I'm gonna drive !" "Pull it now !" "I'm gonna drive." "Slow down, Francis !" "Francis, don't quit now !" "Hang on !" "Francis Nuncia..." "Francis..." "Francis Marchetti." "I heard that name before." "Check it, please." " I know him." "He's a friend of Fanto." "What a night !" "Leoni gets shot, Conti gets killed and now it's a friend of Fantoni." "Maestracci's methods are paying." " For Conti, witnesses are saying an American was with him." "He's the one who fired at the car." "He ran away after the shooting." "Get after him." "We need to find him." "And tell Paris about that." "All right, take him away." "Shooting on the coast road:" "two gangsters killed !" "Chicago comes to Marseilles !" "Read all about it !" "Well, Maestracci..." "About your methods, the body-count has started." " Yes." "Leoni's clan got itself blasted with 12 mm, and I arrested Fantoni with a 12 mm caliber five days after the Florienza job." " You think there's a connection ?" "Rumors are all around and it really looks like that's the team who did the job." "12 mm was also used at Gardanne for the rail job." "But we know that was the" ""Black jackets"." "And Fanto's 12 mm colt indicates he got mix-up with his old buddies again." " Got any names ?" "Of course !" "Old friends:" "Félix Vinciguerra and Paul Miniguetti." "We got an eye on those two for a long time." " So, are they the "Black jackets" ?" "Yes, that's them." "Two guys from their team died in Vitrolles recently." " And your informers ?" " They are afraid." "We're tailing all the ones who're possibly connected with the gang." "So ?" "We followed many times the boss of a bar and we always loose him near Aix." "That's mighty interesting !" " Sure." "We'll got them soon or later." "We got the whole area staked out." " So what are you waiting for ?" "I give you full authority." " Then it's perfect, superintendent." "There's only two of them." "Too bad." "Vinciguerra and Miniguetti." "Two "Black jackets" is already a nice catch." "Okay, gather the men, we're going to attack." "I don't think we'll catch them alive." "You're surrounded !" "give yourself up !" "Last warning: you got ten seconds to drop your weapons and come out !" "Come on, we'll take Joseph's road." "Don't be stupid, drop your weapons !" "Paulo !" "Paulo !" "Come on, let's go !" " Get away, Vinci !" "Hit the road !" "I'll deal with them !" "Shit, we only got one !" " How could you let the other one get away !" "?" "We're gonna get him and all the others !" "Send the descriptions !" "Come in, both of you, we're gonna have a talk." "Listen, kid..." "Fanto's gone crazy." "But you must know that Vinci has nothing to do with your troubles." "He's at my place but I don't want anybody to harm him." "Nor you or anybody else." "I would take that as a personal offense." "Got it ?" " Yes, but listen..." " No !" "You listen to me !" "I'm not finished." "It's enough with Fanto." "I want this matter to be sold." "You're bugging everybody by now." "Kill him or sort it out with him, but whatever you do, get it done quickly." "Understood ?" "Get it done !" "I just told him that." "I'm fed up with all this." "Hear ?" "He's fed up with all this." "I can't afford that." "We have a big deal set up together." "Don't blow it or you're gonna feel sorry for it." "I get the picture." "Okay, it get the picture." "Let's go home, now." "I want you to see Vinci and try to sort this out with him." "Can you drop me off at my hotel, I want to check if my air ticket's reservation's done." "I'll see you tonight." " Mr Everett ?" " Yes." "French police." "Where's your gun ?" "Precisely, I do." "You're the owner of the Florenzia." "Deserted the US army, arrested in Venezuela, you're living in Tangiers and you're a friend of Luciano." "See ?" "Sure, I'm crazy !" "You'd better follow us quietly." "This is my place, don't forget it." "Here he is untouchable." "You, if you have something to tell him, go ahead." "Fanto is Fanto." "What he does is his business." "We did the cigarettes job together." "You were one of us, don't you ?" "Then someone fingered Fanto." "I don't know who but it's not me." "We had to sell those cigarettes because the sellers ran out of supplies." "So we did it." "Fanto was in the clink, you were on the run so what I was supposed to do ?" "You could had send a message to him." " Maybe but what for ?" "He would had be agree." "Your share is here." "Okay for the money." "But after, you scrapped him, and me too by the same occasion." " Not you." "Just say a word and you're in." "But him..." " I don't a give a shit about your deal with the Americans." "It's not my style." "You can keep on talking like this until tomorrow and still not budge." "I got you fellows together for a reason:" "to put everything firmly behind you." "Fanto's never gonna agree." "Too bad for him." "Now listen to me, kid." "Either Fanto comes to my house, like you boys, so we have a mutual discussion, or he'll be a dead man." " Vinci..." "Who killed my brother ?" "Fanto." "Who killed Conti ?" "..." "Fanto." "Who's responsible for the death of limpy Francis ?" "..." "Fanto." "Who brought him into a settling of scores he has nothing to do with ?" "And who's responsible for Paulo's death ?" " You're way off base about Paulo." "The cops shot him." " No, just think about it." "From the beginning, Fanto always used the same gun." "The cops had follow the trail from corpse to corpse." "From heist to heist and where did that lead them ?" "To your hideout." "Vinci..." "Without Fanto, they never found you." "Is that true or not ?" " That's true." " Believe me, kid, Fanto's just a jinx." "He always has been my friend." "We get into troubles together and we pull through together." "And he'll always be my friend." "I'm a friend of Grisoni and the cops are right behind me." "Come on." "Take the stairs and then beat it over the roofs." "Sure..." "I understand your feelings." "But..." "You know..." "It's like when race horses got their legs broken." "There's nothing to do for them..." "And you know who usually finished them off ?" "The one who cares the more for them." "Their best friend." "You understand me, kid ?" " I think I do, yes." "I just have one final thing I want to tell you both..." "Why did Bozzoconi died and who had him killed." "I snooped a bit around." "This should be interesting you since you were partners." "He died because of a woman !" "A hooker he took to the Mori brothers." "They are the ones who hired the gun to hit Bozzo." "They didn't give you any trouble because they ain't into the cigarettes business." "They just are pimps." "Shit !" "And that's all begin !" "You alone can find him." "Find him quickly." "How are you, guys ?" "Vinci wants to see Fanto." "Tell it to all our friends." "Sure, I'll do it." "I'll be seeing you, so long." "How are you, guys ?" "Any news from Fanto ?" " No." "Keep your eyes open." "Bye." "Hey, Joseph !" " So ?" " He called." "He's going to phone tonight at 4." "So tell Vinci to be here." " Thanks, Pascal." " So long." "Hello." "No, it's me, Vinci." "Yes." "Okay." "I'll be there." "Thanks, Pascal." "I thought I'd never see you again." "You've been lucky to get away from that sheepfold." "Poor Paulo." "Yeah." "I heard about Francis." " Was that what you wanted to see me about ?" "I called you because I had something important to tell you." "Fanto, I saw Grisoni." "Yes..." "So what ?" "He explained me everything." "And now I'm sure you were mistaken." "Was I ?" "According to him, Ange's agree to let bygone be bygone." "Maybe you can even come into the deal he's setting up right now..." "No..." "It's the end of the line for me." " Why ?" "It just is." "Where to ?" "If you don't mind going to the coast, I have a contact to see there." "It's all the same to me." "Here." "Thanks." "Listen, you and me we've been as close as brothers." "We shared so many things." "Fanto..." "For once I'm asking you something, just come with me." "Let's go to see Grisoni and I guarantee nobody will touch you." "No, it's too late, Vinci." "Luck has turned its back on me." "I feel like I bring bad luck to all of you." "To you, Paulo, Francis..." "It's just fate, you couldn't help it." "I would've done the same thing if I had been in your shoes." "If I had thought I'd been sold out, I'd took out my gun too." "I'm asking you as your friend to come to see Grisoni." " What for ?" " To try to sort this out." "I'm sure we can do it." "Then we'll both go to Corsica." "You'll visit Nuncia." "Nuncia..." "How I'm supposed to look at her in the eyes ?" "Last time I saw her, I promise to bring back Francis." "And he got himself killed because of me." "It's a corpse I brought back." "That's exactly why she needs you." "No, I don't think so." "She'll always think of me as responsible for her brother's death." "So what are you gonna do ?" "I don't know anymore." "Nothing." "I've hit the bottom, Vinci." "Rock bottom." "Shoot." "Come on, shoot !" "Marius Fantoni known as Fanto, "away for ever"..." "That's the strange expression used this morning, february the 10th, 1955, by the chairman of Marseilles tribunal." "The Florienza affair has finally come to its conclusion." "The process of law had been terminated for that case." ""Away for ever"." "So as Sauveur Leoni, Simon Castelli," "Jules faniglio, André Conti, Francis Marchetti," "Paulo Miniguetti." "Those who survived the affair were mutually stroke with amnesiac disturbances, and no charges could be found to bring against them other than the fraudulent trafficking of foreign cigarettes in territorial fence." "The sentence is five month in prison and a fine of the enormous sum of two billion, that is probably never going to be paid to the custom administration." "Only one participant of the drama escaped the dragnet:" "Félix Vinciguerra, known as Vinci." "He was never seen again after the death of Fantoni." "But in Corsica, in Fanto's native village, people won't forget what Vinci has done." "I'm the one who killed Vinciguera !" "Translation and timing:" "Aquasantajoe" "For Cinemageddon, June 1st, 2009"
