"Mum." "What are you doing here?" "Can't you see?" "I'm tidying up." "Leave it." "I've got someone who takes care of that." "And who will take care of you?" "Look at the state you're in." "Why don't you help me?" "You could stay here for a while." "No I can't." "You're the one who needs to sort yourself out both inside and out." "Go and get dressed." "Where are you going?" "Not upstairs, you'll wake him." "Who?" "Who's upstairs?" "The owner of the house." "What do you mean?" "I own this house." "Lebanese, what are you doing here?" "What's up, are you cold?" "You're trembling." "No." "You're scared then." " What do you want?" " I've got a job for you." "Call the others and tell them to be at Franco's at 2." " All right." " One other thing." "You and your brother will tell me what the others say" ".. when I'm not around." "Yes, but why us?" "It's better to get born traitors to protect you" "..than a false friend." "Come on, I'll be late for work." "Don't go." "I can't." "I've already been off sick twice this month." "Tell them you're going away then." "Yes?" "Where to?" "Wherever you want." "As long as it's far away." "I mean it." "Let's drop everything and go." "Right now." "Just you and me." "What about your business?" "Your friends?" "Roberta..." "I'm a free man now." "You don't really mean that." "Put me to the test." "I'll go." "Hello." "Is Freddo here?" "Yes." "Will you invite me in for a coffee?" "You're looking well." " Nice and relaxed." " You don't look well at all." "I didn't sleep a wink last night." "I kept thinking things over." " What things?" " It didn't help sharing things out." "Half the gang are squandering their share, not investing it." "And they could give us away." "What do you want to do about it?" "Gather them all under the pulpit and give them a sermon?" "Put them all on the payroll." "All on a set wage and the rest managed by Secco." "A set wage?" "What if Bufalo wants to change his Ferrari?" "What if Scrocchiazeppi needs a larger home?" "Then they'll have to ask my permission and be very convincing." "How do you think you'll convince them?" "The only thing that keeps them united is the money they squander." "Should I kill them all then?" "No." "Shut up shop, while there's still time." "Share out the profits, everyone goes his own way." "Break up the gang?" " Now that we're masters of Rome?" " Now that we're still alive." "Or do you want to wait until the money runs out?" "Or for us to start shooting each other?" "Take my advice the time has come to give up when we're on a winning streak." "We can't disband the gang." "We have an agreement with the secret services." "Who's we?" "Dandi and I, to get out of jail." " When were you going to tell me?" " What's the problem?" "The Camorra and Mafia were our allies too." "And we took care of them." "This time I'm the one pulling out." " Where are you going?" " I'm leaving." "This is goodbye." "You've been thinking about it for some time." "That girl wanted you to leave and make a fresh start." "No, you're the one who put a ticket in my hand." "I'll tell Secco to get your money ready." "Borgia must have contacted all his friends to get you back here." "And I contacted mine to get you back." "That photo could ruin you." "I know." "But I want it here, to remind me who is the real enemy." "It's no longer time to run." "There are 85 victims blocking our way now." "You don't think you can prove that the secret services were behind the Bologna bombing?" "No, but we might be able to prove that they are involved with the Magliana gang." "Think about it." "We arrest them in the morning, they're out before the evening." "We close their gambling den and they get it re-opened again." "We're not talking about drug pushing now." "Lebanese has people in power and he'll be the one who opens the door to us." "The intrepid commissioner has managed to get his job back." "Only with the help of Borgia." "We can get him moved; threaten to send the photos to the papers." "No." "Borgia is only a pot vase who thinks he has an iron heart." "Whereas Scialoja..." " How long has he been in our way?" " Three years." "Three years on the same case." "despite blackmail, threats and transfers." " Not bad eh?" " The determination of a mountaineer." "He could still cause us problems." "Let's put him to the test," "Let's see how far he climbs before he falls back down." "Set wage?" "How much would that be?" "And how often?" "What are you talking about?" "I invested my money." "Why should I make do with a wage?" "It's the only way to stay united." "No." "If I'd wanted a monthly wage I'd be a civil servant." "It's not a proposal Dandi, it's a law!" "From now on.." "you will tell me what you're up to." "Every little thing." "Is that clear?" "I salute the Duce!" "." "Lebanese let me get this straight" "Does this law go for Freddo too?" "Freddo is not longer part of the gang." " Did you know that?" " How could I?" " What do you mean?" " He's off his rocker" "Freddo must have gone sick." " A nice speech." " It's the coke getting to him." "That's why I'm telling you this." "It was a strange day at Capannelle yesterday." "With our tipster?" "A guy won 40 million with a nag while our horse was only placed." " Who's in with the tipster?" " Mazzocchio." "You did well to come and tell me." "I'll talk to him." "Do you want me to follow him?" "Later." "Find me a cleaning firm that will give my house a good clean." "There are 4000 kilometres of beaches in Brazil." "Enough to spend the rest of your life there." "What do you want?" "Fishing. diving, leisure?" "The first flight out." "Can't wait, eh?" "Right, let's see." "Rome to Rio." "The first flight is in two days." "All right." "When do you want to return?" "We don't, we'll be staying there." "Hi, Mazzocchio." "Dandi." "Have you come to se our pride and joy?" "No, to see how we let them snatch 40 million from us." "That really pissed me off." "Morena was in the lead, then he struck a clod and lost by a neck." " What bad luck." " Who was riding him?" "Gianni Cherchi, he's a decent guy." "Where is he now?" "Florence, he's gone home." "All these years in horse racing..." "And you've never seen such bad luck before." "Next time Cherchi is in Rome, give me a shout and we'll rid him of this jinx." "All right." "We'll do that." "Pay Freddo off?" "We're talking about a fortune." "Pay up and tell him to piss off." "We don't have that much cash." "Take it from my share." "Just get him from under my feet." "Yes, but a guy like Freddo walking off.." "loaded with money won't look very good." "Why?" "What would you do?" "Well, they are ways and ways of settling up with people." "The way I have in mind would save time and money." "And set an example to others." "Blowing off the head of a Judas like you would be a better example." "Now go and get the money, take it to him and bow to him." "Freddo may be an ungrateful bastard but he's a giant compared to you." "You're leaving us then?" "That's what it says here." "If you need a contact I know some "camerati" in Rio." "Brazilian ones?" "Italians in exile." "Friends of the guys who bombed Bologna?" "I don't know who did it, but there's one thing I will say, whoever kills 80 people is a lunatic, and lunatics have no flag." "You're right." "But if you need a place to stay, forget about the comrades" "I'll put you up." "What are friends for?" "Have a good journey Freddo." " And throw that shit away, it's..." " Comrade's stuff, I know, I will" "Here are the keys." "Your villa is spotless now." "It didn't take long enough." "they can give it another going over." "They've gone home." "Call them back." "Pay them for the night." "I want the floors to dazzle me." "Where will you sleep?" "Who feels like sleeping?" "Freddo's been arrested." "What has he done?" "He was smoking a joint." "Just as he was leaving town." "Call Vasta, tell him to get Freddo out, I have an errand to do." " Hello?" " It's me." " Where are you?" " Regina Coeli jail." " What did you do?" " I only smoked a joint." "I'll be out later." "Start packing." "OK?" "OK." " Roberta." " Yes." "I love you." "Hello." " Fabrizio's not here." " I know." "Can I come in?" "It's nice and clean here." "It looks really nice." "You can tell that a woman's living here now." "Can I get you a drink?" "I'll get myself a beer." "Fetch me one too." "I'll get you a glass." "I'm happy you're going away you know." "You're just the right girl for him." "Tell him Secco has his money." "He can pick it up when he gets out." "I think it's a bullshit idea." "It is a bullshit idea." "Giving us wages like young kids." " Just as Freddo is leaving." " Will you let me take this shot?" "You talk to him," "You've known him a lifetime." " Only you can make him see reason." " Who?" "Perhaps the old Lebanese" "I don't know this one." "You take his place then." "That's what we're all waiting for." "What do you want to do?" "Get rid of Lebanese?" "What the fuck's come over you?" "You know what we're talking about." "It's up to you now." "Go fuck yourselves!" "Dandi..." "That was an easy shot." "You wouldn't have messed it up once." "The keys to the villa." "If there's one stain left..." "It's spotless." "You could even sleep there." "What about Dandi?" "Have you kept your eye on him?" "He went to the racetrack today, there was some strange business." "Tell him to come here." "Now." "All right." "We meet again, Soleri." "Behind bars again." "Yes, for a joint." "How long will they give me?" "Long enough to miss your flight." "How come you booked one way?" "Did you run out of money?" "I tell you what, seeing you've bought the tickets," "I'll let you go, but you tell me where the secret services fit in." "It wouldn't be a secret if I did." "Do you know what these are?" "Pieces of lead." "Can I go now?" "We found one of them in Cannizzaro's body." "The other was in the head of a guy involved in the Bologna bombing." "But they were fired from the same gun." "One of your guns." "What are you thinking of now?" "You tell me," "There are two possibilities." "Either you placed that bomb or you helped someone detonate it." "I want to go back to my cell," "If you're leaving it means you're through with Lebanese." "So clear your conscience, you'd travel a lot lighter." " I want to go back to my cell!" " We're not talking about kidnapping or armed robbery now, but the murder of 85 innocent people." "Sleep on it, if you can." "We'll talk again tomorrow." "Take him to his cell!" "Have a snort, you look tired." " What did you want?" " What did you want?" "Why did you go to the racetrack?" "To talk to Mazzocchio." " Is he cheating us?" " Maybe." "Or maybe not." "Why didn't you tell me?" "You heard the rules." "Rules are for servants!" "The rules are for everyone, especially smart asses like you!" "Go home you look more tired than me." "Get your hands off me!" "Have you packed the cases?" "Did you talk to the lawyer?" " What did he say?" " That I'll be out by tonight." "You look tired, didn't you sleep?" "Lebanese called last night." "What did he want?" " Did he threaten you?" " Time's up!" "No, he was happy for us." "Your money is all ready." "He's given you his blessing." "Go and pack, we'll leave tomorrow." "Call Scialoja, he's waiting for an answer." "What the fuck do you want?" "I killed you." "Who, you?" "Did you drive this into my chest?" "No" "You didn't have the guts to finish the job." "That's why no one respects you." "I'll kill you now then." "Hold it Lebanese, it's me!" "I only came to take a look it's nice and clean." "The way you wanted it." "Everything's fine, yes." "But there's one thing left to do and I'll have to do that." "You sell guns you steal them." "And the road from Rome to Bologna can be a very long one." "What about the bomb?" "I don't know who placed it." "But these people don't even know the names of those they kill." "We don't think that way." "What about Lebanese?" "What does he think now he's hand in glove with the secret services?" "Help me to nail him, and you're a free man." "A traitor is never free." "Sorry." "but I'm not giving up Lebanese." "Not now or ever." "Take him back to his cell." "Let's go." " Where are they?" " Who?" " Who are you looking for?" " Those two idiots" "There's no one here, can't you see?" "Tell them I'm looking for them and I'm in a hurry." "I don't believe it!" "They're keeping Freddo in jail!" "How come?" "Scialoja's involved again." " The son of a..." " The son of a bitch!" "We're losing control." "Lebanese would have got him out of there once, instead of getting someone to clean his house." "Yes?" "In half an hour, down on Lungotevere." "Nice to see you" "How can we help you?" " You have to get Freddo out." " Who, your partner?" "The ungrateful guy?" "It's nice of you to worry about him." "And I want the knife he killed Terribile with back." "The magistrate has it now." "Then get it." "What can he do to you?" " You're above everyone." " Including you." "No, we have equal standing." "We have an agreement." "And I'm paying for it." "So when I ask for something" " jump to it" " Are you threatening us?" "You've done this once before." "You don't get me, do you?" "I'm not going to grin and bear it twice." "And who the fuck are you anyway?" "Even spies have a home, even you have to close your eyes." "You might not open them again." "He's losing his marbles." "He wants os to return a murder weapon used months ago." "Let's not waste any more time on these people." "If Soleri leaves, the others won't last long." "You see?" "They add a new channel every day." "The world is changing." "In the future, crimes will no longer be carried out using knives." "What shall we do with Proietti?" "If he's crazy" "We'll have to play along with him." "But we need someone to fall back on and we have the perfect person young, ambitious smart" "Dandi. we've seen a lot of you recently." "Where is Gianni Cherchi?" "How the fuck do I know?" "Tor Di Valle." "Today's race, Alfiere, ridden by Gianni Cherchi." " I swear I didn't know!" " You do." "You've worked together for years" " you share out the money you steal,." " That's not true!" "Tell me who you're working for" "We don't work for anyone!" "A two-bit tipster and a jockey would never go up against Lebanese." "Who's behind it then?" " Just us." " I'll feed you to the horses." "Tell me," "Trentadenari." "Trentadenari." "Not a word." "Keep silent, like these horses." "It's happened again." "Lebanese's powerful friends are back in action again." ""We see no grounds to validate the defendant's arrest"." "Someone with Freddo's record!" "What about his passport?" "I was able to block that." "For now." "Freddo." "Freddo." "Wait a minute." "I'm leaving." "Didn't your boss tell you?" "He's who I want to talk about." "Wait!" "Lebanese is losing it." "He's full of cocaine, paranoid" "You talk to him, he'll listen to you." "It's too late, I'm out," "I can see you're out of it." "Who do you think got you out?" "Certainly not you." "Go on, run away then," "You're leaving us in the shit." "The others will drown in it because you love to wallow in it." "I don't understand why you're going, you've earned more than anyone." "You're the only one in the gang with any business sense." "If I were to tell you there's a safe investment to be made, for us two" "Without telling the others?" "It's a quick job," "But it will make a pile of money." "What would your answer be?" "How many people have you asked?" "The Buffonis," "Dandi not Lebanese," "you told him it would be better to get rid of me to save the money." "Don't be crazy." "Want to know why I'm leaving?" "To be away from shits like you," "Well, where is it?" "Take care of it, this is the last time." "I don't need you, you're the ones that need me!" "Let's go and celebrate." "You really mean it then?" "I didn't see much of you before" " Who will I take it out on now?" " You've always got girls for that." "I've put some money in Mum's account" "I'll send some more later." "Tell her yourself, then you can say goodbye." "I'd rather not." "Give her a kiss for me." "Be careful Gigio." "Or I'll come back and beat you up." "What the fuck are you staring at?" "Ricotta, deal the cards." " No." " Me neither." "Lebanese, it's up to you." "What are you doing?" "Aren't you playing?" "Lebanese, why don't you go home?" "You've not slept for two days." "Sleeping is a luxury these days." " Let's go home to bed." " No one's moving from here." "And I've told you, we have to celebrate." " What are we celebrating?" "The new turn that the gang has taken." "Freddo's going away." "and the return of an old friend." "Do you want to spend your life doing the accounts in a brothel." "It's the only thing I can do besides screwing." "Yes, but you have enough money to shut up shop and leave." "And so have I" "Freddo and Roberta are leaving." "Why don't we leave too?" "Now, straight away." " Well?" " Let's go to bed instead." "What do you mean?" "That it's the only place you and I could ever go together." "Freddo and Roberta have something you and I never had." "You don't need love to leave, just a desire to, and money." "But it's time we need eh?" "It's getting late..." "I still have to talk to Trentadenari, so..." "See you, Patrizia." " We'll have to postpone." " Why?" "They won't let you leave." " They've blocked your passport." " Don't worry." "I've got them to unblock it." "The lawyer said you should wait." "Don't listen to what he says." "I'd still be inside if I'd listened to him." "Roberta." "We're doing the right thing." "We're the only ones who can stop us now." "Why don't you try to get some sleep?" "We have to be up early." "Lie down" "I won't be long." "I'll stake this." "About 35 million lire." "I'm game." "I'll take your word for it." "Well done little puppy." "Look at his tail wagging." "But I'm not paying up." "Lebanese." "Why should I pay you?" "You're not a man." "You're a dog." "In fact, worse." "Dogs are loyal, ...and you easily betrayed Terribile." "Lebanese..." "Shall we do it the old way?" "Here's my old friend." "Do you remember it?" "And do you remember this embroidery here?" "You were there when they did it." "No..." "Dogs have no memory." "All they can do is attack young girls." "Are you joking?" "Did you believe Mazzocchio?" "He's a liar!" "Think so?" "He seemed sincere to me." "He gave you my name to protect his own ass!" "He told me because he had a pitchfork within an arm's length of his balls." "But you don't have to convince me." "I just have to tell Lebanese." "These are the new rules." "Mine was purely a courtesy visit." "Wait, where are you going?" "How much to keep quiet about it?" "Half of what you've stolen so far." "And 60 percent of what you'll make in the future." "Do you like it?" "But why a surveyor?" "My mother always dreamed of having a son who was a surveyor." "How did you end up a crook?" "Dad needed help!" "Thanks for everything, Scrocchiazeppi." "Remember to send me some coffee from Brazil, they have good coffee." "Have a good trip." "And don't lose touch or I'll come looking for you." "I still have to smash your head in." "Whenever you want." "Mum!" "Mum, open the door, I need to talk to you." "You'll be happy with me for once, I took your advice." "I sorted myself out." "Really!" "I've got the others towing the line, taking orders from Lebanese." "And you should see my house." "It's a palace." "Worthy of you, the Queen of Rome." "You don't have to be ashamed of me any more." "Open this fucking door!" "Come on, Mum!" "What the fuck do you want?"
