"Relax, nobody knows about this place" "Did you hearth police snagged Pus?" "A shitty name he's stuck with for his whole shitty life." "A shitty life." "That's why we should pick our own names." "I like Grand, as in money, which is my main desire." "Call me Ursula Andress, her boobs are my main desire!" "Aren't you already named Dandy?" "Yeah, like Fred Astaire, eatin' breakfast in a tux." " That's a dandy, ain't it?" " What the fuck do I know?" "I wanna be called Lebanese like this hash, stoned 24-7 so I don't have to see the crap around me." " How about you?" " Ice." " Why?" " My fuckin' business." " That's not a name." " And Dandy is?" " The police!" " Let's split I" " Wait for me I" "Let's split or they'll catch us!" "Ice!" "Lebanese I" " Lebanese I" " I'm dying..." " Help, Lebanese." " I'm coming." "My leg!" " I'm dying." " My leg!" "Dandy I Dandy!" "Wait!" "Dandy!" "Dandy!" "CRIME NOVEL" " How'd it go inside?" " Felt like forever." " You grew a beard." " It looks bad?" "No, it looks good." "I'm plannin' a kidnapping." " Have you flipped out?" " No, I woke up." " Who'll you kidnap?" " Baron Rosellini." "He's loaded," "I know all about him, my parents were servants at his house." " Me and you?" " No, me, you, Dandy..." "Ciro Buffoni..." "The rest are from the street:" "Buffalo, Ricotta, Bones and Bright Eye." " Bright I That makes eight." " Bright Eye I" " Shut it, you'll wake my ma!" " Black, too." "He ain't from the street, but..." "he's one of us anyway." " The tools?" " Machine-guns, revolvers, shotgun." "I hid 'em in a basement at the ministry." "I have to give the security guard two grams of coke a week, but they're safe there." " The ransom?" " 5 billion lira." " Does he have that much?" " He's even got 10 I" " Then let's ask for 10." " Ice!" "You out to get some air?" " What's up with you?" " Everything's cool." " Bye." "Hey!" "You're out?" "Hello to you I" " How you doing'?" " No good when I see you!" " What's up, Gigio?" " Forget your brother." " Dad, please." "No "pleases" I Keep away from this house, you hear?" "Please I" " I missed you." " Come here." " Gigio!" " How you doin"?" " Fine." " Let's go!" "I'm going back to Rome to do business." " Give me a ride?" " Sure, so I can show my face around." "See you later." " What shall we do?" " Wait." " Well?" "Happy?" " I still can't believe it." " Nicola Scialoja." " Marshall Colussi." " What happened?" " Seven people with ski masks." " They want 10 billion in ransom" " No kidding!" "Who's there?" " Don't like the dark, eh?" " Who are you?" "Do I know you?" "Please I I don't have any money." " Shut up!" " It ain't much." " Shut it, Baron!" "From first page to local news in less than a month." "Like the kidnappers' ransom:" "First 10 billion, then 9 billion, 6, and finally 3." "Why "finally" 7" "The family agreed to pay." "At least I managed to jot clown the bill numbers." " They're gonna pay 3 billion?" " Yes, in a few days." "But they asked for a photo proving he's still alive." "This kidnapping seems weird." "Meaning?" "These guys are stray dogs, not a gang." " Get up!" " What?" "What do you want?" "Get up and shut up!" "We're gonna take a nice picture." " No I" " Hold the paper." "I have to write my daughter, I..." "What the fuck I" " You scared, Dandy?" "You scared?" " What about the money?" " Take his picture." " He's dead I" " Lay him down, he'll look alive." " Take the photo." " Gimme the paper." " Lay him on the ground." " Make it look like he's standing up." " How am I gonna take the picture?" " Stand over him." " I can't reach." " Cool it I" "Hold his head up, or it'll show he's on the ground." "Put his hand on the paper." "Lower him, cover the blood" "Two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve..." "And that's 700." "We all agree, right?" "700 for Lebanese, he thought up the plan." "Here." "500 for Ice, 500 for me..." "That leaves..." " 1.3 billion." " Shit, you did your accounts!" " 1.3 to divvy up." " 200 million a head." "That leaves 100." " Gamblin', hookers, and cocaine!" " I was thinkin'..." "To each his own whim, fair enough" "Dandy, you'll get a new wardrobe." "You bet and my motorcycle is kinda rusty, too." "Bright Eye and Ricotta, ladies, cocaine... and you?" " I wanna open a bar." " There's a Rolex with my name on it." " I'll buy a Bazooka" " For what?" "Then the motorcycle gets rusty, the Bazooka jams up, and the pussy dries out from lack of flow, and we're back to square one." " I got another idea." " What?" "An even split." "50 million a head, then we pool the rest." "Instead of a little each, we'll have a lot together." " Not a bad start-up." " What the fuck!" "I want my cash" " I want my cash I" " Cool it, don't lose it!" " What the fuck are you sayin'?" " He's speakin' to you nicely." "Listen to him, then decide." "What's this start-up for?" " To get what we all want." " What?" " Rome." " What the fuck I" " But Rome's huge." "Are we small?" "We'll control it through drugs, whores, gambling'..." " Bernardino Scafa owns gambling" " Not after tomorrow." " Drugs belong to Terrible." " Look at yourselves." " We'll destroy them, tear 'em apart." " Are you outta your mind?" " You forget who Terrible is?" " An old man." " He's 40 at most." "He's history, it's our turn now" " Guys are lining' up to join us" " Like who?" "Rat used to test drugs for Terrible, now he's one of us." "Everyone'll be against us." "Everyone?" "Like who?" "Who rules Rome?" "If everyone rules, nobody rules." " Us against everybody, I like that." " I'm in." " Me too." " So am I." "I don't give a shit about Rome." "Hands off." "You're talkin' about a gang, a collective..." " I don't dig collectives." " You dig the streets though, eh?" "Black can do what he wants." "That was the deal." "Lemme get this straight, we buy 2.5 billion worth of junk and peddle it..." " Know what'll happen?" " A war will break out." "But it won't last, 'cos we'll wage war on them, not vice versa." "Black, can you give us a sec?" "From now, we make decisions together." "Nobody acts on his own." "We're partners now." " Get out." " Come here, dickhead I" " Fuck you I" " What's the deal?" " I say he doesn't know shit." " I know nothin', I was in Morocco." " We don't know shit!" " Filomena I" " Who's she?" " My girl." " That bitch?" "You went to Morocco?" "Too bad, I had some Thai stuff for you to test." "Damn, I sure missed you Rat!" "You're the best tester there is." "Groan, I said to beat him but you overdid it." "Word has it you're working' for the competition." "I could understand if it was for a real boss, Cencio, The Neapolitan..." "Bernardino, or even Frenchy!" "But you're with those deadbeats who kidnapped Rosellini?" "I don't know who kidnapped him." "I don't know shit any more I" "Don't try and kid me I Tell us where those fuckers are I" " I dunno I" " They just vanished, did they?" " I don't know!" " I've had it with him!" "The Neapolitan's uptight." "I don't think I can keep him calm." "Start talkin', Rat." "Spit it out." " I don't know nothin'!" " I wanna trust you this time." " Can I trust you?" " Yeah." " I trust you." "Filomena I He's all yours." "Tell those fuckfaces to bow clown or they're in deep shit." "Good dog, good dog I" " Lemme see what's happenin'." " Careful." " Bye." " Thanks." "What'd Ciro say?" "They're all at the Full 80, Cencio, Bernardino Scafa," "Terrible and The Neapolitan, only Groan's missin'." "Groan is Terrible's sidekick, he never leaves his side." "He didn't until I bought him." "They don't understand shit." "They have no clue where we are, what we wanna do with the money..." "They can't figure it out." "Damn right, they forgot where they came from." " They've become domestic pets." " But we're ferocious beasts." "They'll realize that tonight." "What's the worse that can happen?" "What do you think?" "At worst, they kill us." "We've died a million times already." "In the borstal..." "All the times we had to say, "Yes, sir", to those who treated us like shit." " You can't kill a man twice." " Damn right." "You bet your ass!" "Hey, baby!" " Bernardino, what are you doin'?" " I pass." " Deal." " Well?" " It'll be quick." "What the fuck?" "Get the hell out!" "Always using' that damn rope Let's move!" "It's Groan, open up!" "Gross I" "What's that, the dogs?" " Where's the light?" " Don't turn it on." "We could kill you just like the others, but we wanna do business with you We got dough, let's make a deal." "Groan says you're a reasonable guy, that you can see reason." "Who are you?" " Nice dogs, what were their names?" " What'd you do to them?" "Are you in or out?" "Get lost, fuck off!" "Are you cryin'?" "They said you were Terrible, but you ain't so terrible after all." " How much you wanna invest?" " 2.5 billion." "I get 75% of the profits, no buts about it!" "Maybe I didn't make myself clear:" "You sell us the junk with a 10% markup and we deal it." "You get 30% of the profit, we get 70." "Say YOU agree." "I agree." " Good boy, Terrible." " But Uncle Carlo might not agree." " Who's he?" " He's with the Sicilians." "The Sicilians respect Rome, but they demand respect." "If Uncle Carlo wants to talk to us, we'll talk to him." "Arrange a meeting." "Mind if I take your car for a spin?" "Killing is no big deal for these people." "Rome's never seen anything like this, right Carenza?" " Can you find out more?" " I'll try." "Who's in charge at the precinct?" "Commissioner Scialoja." " What do we know about him?" " Everything." "We helped him get transferred from Bologna." " Here we are." " Obviously, he doesn't know that." " Here he is, Scialoja." " Gimme that." " Sure, now I remember him!" "A good university degree, well-read honest, ambitious, well to do..." "A real democrat!" "Stairway B, apartment 10." "No doorman." "Goin' to Patrizia's?" "What's this 7" "Whipped cream cake, you wanted to get kinky, eh?" "Go." "Get lost I Understand?" "Go!" "You don't understand?" " I'm expecting a client." " Me." " No, a Japanese guy." " He committed hara-kiri." " Take what you want." " Hold on." " You're a beauty." "Come here..." " The door I Wait!" " You still here?" " You got a protector?" " What?" " A protector, you know, a pimp?" " Mind your own business." " Have you or not?" " One guy who tried is still in pain." " Are you seein' anyone?" " Get off my bed." " Come!" " Come I" " You paid, had your way, what do you want now?" " You're a babe." "You're a beauty, like a Madonna." "How much are you worth?" " You can't afford me." " No?" "Come on." " Tell me how much you want." " All of it." "Then take it all." " I wanna be with you." " I said no pimps." "I said I wanna be your man:" "Seeing each other, having dinner, visiting when I want and you're always ready for me." "I'll introduce you to my friends..." "A real relationship." "You have ideas, command..." "Who do you think you are?" " I'm a classy guy" " Classy?" "!" "You fuck like an animal..." "In and out, mmm, excellent!" " And you talk about class!" " Then teach me." " Teach me." " Here we go again." "Go shower, darling." " You're right, I'll go now." " Hold on." "Gimme a minute." "Gigio I" "Gigio I" "Gigio I" " He's not in." " Where is he?" " Dunno, at a friend's." " Who might you be?" " Roberta." "Are you his girlfriend?" "Girlfriend '2!" "No, I tutor him." "I live upstairs." "I'm his brother." "Come outside a sec." "See how you're talkin'?" "How?" "All prim and proper." "That's the effect teachers have on you?" " She ain't no teacher." " Oh, sorry." "What's so special about her?" "She ain't a whore" " Why do we only hang with whores?" " Don't you know why?" " People like us, from Oxford..." " Hi." " Hi." "Gigio!" "We were waitin' for you." " She says you're a dunce." " That's not true." "If you get flunked again, I'll rip your head off." "I won't get flunked." "What is this?" "What the fuck is this?" "I donated blood I Got free coffee and croissants." "Good deal." "Stay away from deals." "Got it, Gigio?" " A new scooter." " For me?" " Like it?" " Really?" " Go take a spin." " You bet!" "Press the pedal." " You don't know how to start it?" " I can do it." " She's paying." " So I see, Colussi." "I see." "A gun which was fired in this gambling den was the same one that shot the tire on Baron Rosellini's car." "Same weapon, same bullets." "We didn't have much before, but recently, in a lingerie store, in the center of town this unusual client paid several times using the marked bills from the ransom." " "Unusual"?" " She earns more in one night than we do in a month" "Cinzia Vallesi, stage-name Patrizia." "Cinzia Vallesi, expulsion orders from Bari, Bologna, etc..." " Born in Empoli on the..." " Thanks, marshall." "She spends time with this small-time crook DE Magistris, AKA "Dandy"." "I think he's one of the Baron's kidnappers." "What's this bloodshed got to do with the Baron's kidnapping?" "The ransom money." "Whoever's got it might have used it to control markets:" "Gambling, betting, even the drug market..." "That's quite an imagination you have, well done." " But where's the evidence?" " I'll find you the evidence." "I have the means to get proof, I just need some time." "You need time." " I need evidence." " Just give me 20 days." " Not one day more." " Is he always such a jerk?" "Always." " Really?" " Hi." " Hi!" "Wait up, where are you going?" " Real good, Slim I" " Hey I He's working." " A Rabarbaro." " With ice?" " Yes, please." " You see him like that, but he's a whiz with money" " Like hell!" "Now the money's rolling in, we need someone like Slim." " For what?" " To make more money" "Give him one billion, he'll earn you 1.5 billion." "What is he, a magician?" " Well done, Slim I Great voice." " Sure." " Slim!" "Sit down." "If we give you one billion, how much can you earn us?" " 1.5, 1.7 billion." " How?" "Launder it here and there, some of it while I'm on tour." "Then I reinvest quarter of it with some loan sharks, the rest in Terrible's heroin." " Will Terrible get pissed off?" " Better pissed off than pissed on I" "He gave me a good tip, we shouldn't unload the next batch onto the streets right away." "Nothin' in the center or suburbs." "Nothing anywhere." "Meanwhile, we out it up." " We'll out it 50 or 60% not 35%." " And kill everyone, eh?" "No, a doctor friend said that tolerance levels are high." "Doctor Mainardi says that it can be tolerated." " Rat's the tester anyway." " When they're all begging for it we offload the junk at double the price." " What do you think?" " Great." " Ciro I" " Aldo I" " Ciro I" " My brother's here." "Let me through." " How you doing?" " Great." " I thought you got out tomorrow?" "They messed up." "They almost made me stay a day extra." "Screw 'em." "Look who's here I" " Didn't he have 3 years left?" " I heard about everything." "Well clone." " Welcome back." " Hi." " How you doing?" " Keep the change." "Look what I bought back from pawn." " Is that mom's?" "Yeah." " Thanks." " Welcome back." " How you doing?" " Nice to meet you." " Hi, I'm Slim." " Hi, Ice." "You did it, finally!" "When you left me alone in the slammer, I wanted to die." "I don't think we can bug that place, there's too much noise." "Maybe in the bathroom..." " Who's in there?" " That girl..." " The one we photographed." "The whore..." " Yeah." "Patrizia." "She was messing with an architect called Ranocchia." "He seems queer to me" " Dandy?" " Him too." "With a load of usual suspects." "Take me to Patrizia's house." "I was thinkin' of buyin' this dump." "What do you think?" " Not a bad idea." "If you fix it up it'd be a cash cow." " Sure." " Tony I" " Good evening, Attorney." " Nice song." " Thanks." " Good evening." " Good evening." "Who the fuck is that?" " Attorney Vasta." "I want you to meet him, he knows people in the DA's office." "He looks kind of uptown." "I can't stand uptowners." "He could come in handy." " You've been here hours without saying hi." " What's up?" " I ain't talking to you." " I'm dancing." " Don't start." "What you planning to do with those hands?" "See you later." " Cheers I" " Cheers!" " They talk about you in the slammer." "About you, Lebanese, Dandy." "Thanks to your bravery." "You mean our desperation." "Knock it off I Well, what now?" " You in?" " Till the very end, you're like a brother to me." "Sure..." "Quit it!" "You talkin' to me or her?" "You like her?" "Sure do, I got out today!" " What's your name again?" " Loredana." "This is an old friend of mine, show him a good time if you can." " Here." " Thanks." "You've been with this queer all night, stay with me a bit." " My name's not "Queer", I'm..." " Am I talking to you?" " No, but..." " Was I talking to you?" " You know..." " Feel this hand?" "Leave him alone, stop acting the bully I" " Why don't you stay with me?" " Because I wanna be alone tonight." "That ain't true, it's bullshit." "I do what I want and you better let me go because if you raise your hands to me you'll never see me again I" " Leave me I" " Hands off her!" " What the fuck do you want?" "We gotta fix this, right now." "What the fuck I Let go I" "You're hurting me." "Let me go." "I gotta pee" " Leave the door open." " You a perv?" " No, I don't trust you." " I'll give you my word." " Whose, Patrizia's or Cinzia's?" "Go to hell I" " You like it violent?" " No." " I'm here to talk." " I don't talk to cops." " What're you doing?" "Stop it!" "I could arrest you." "Why, I didn't do anything wrong." "What do you know about Dandy?" "I'm tired, I've had a rough night." "Right, your clients your work." " Men coming and going." " Who are you?" "A sadist?" "Do you get off on tormenting women?" " Knock it off, Cinzia." " Don't call me Cinzia." " Wanna fuck?" "Call me Patrizia." " Fine, Patrizia I" "One of your clients is paying you with ransom money." "The hostage is dead, a life sentence case." "I bet you know who it is." " A name and I'll leave you be." " I don't know anything." "They come and pay, that's it." "I don't know." "Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." "Who is it?" "I can't." "I can't, I'm with a client." "Hold on, I'll come clown." "Is it Dandy?" "No, even worse." "I'm leaving." "When you see us leave, get dressed and go." " You didn't give me the name." " You're wasting your time." "You won't find what you're looking for here." "Well 7" "Isn't it a beauty?" "Do you like it, Patrizia?" "It's on sale, 14 rooms, 5 bathrooms." "Big enough for a brothel?" " Fuck you I" " Wanna work the streets forever?" " I don't work the streets." " Like it?" "We'll put it in your name, just come with us to the lawyer." " You'll give it to me?" " A sunk investment." "Whatever you earn is yours." "We get nothing." "But no more blowjobs to whoever shows up at your door." "The deal is, as of tomorrow, you're Dandy's gal." "Take me home." "Don't break my balls here." "We made your an offer, say yes or no." " What if I break the deal?" " That's unforeseen." "You haven't asked me to fuck you yet, how come?" "Are you fags?" "'Cause you're just a whore." "And if you don't knock it off, you'll be a dead whore." "Lebanese asked if you want the house, so say "Yes, thank you."" "Got it?" " Well?" " He said well!" " I'll shit on you." "Motherfucker!" " She bites like a dog." " Almost bit off my finger." "Patrizia I" " The building..." " Fine, I accept." "Fuck you I" " Know him?" "Cesare Rocchi, AKA Lebanese." " No." " No?" " He's your friend." " Friend?" "Don't think so" " What'd he do to you?" " To me?" "Nothing." "His whole life's in here, he lived at Baron Rosellini's as a kid." "Now he's rich and spends time with you." "You want me to spy?" "Forget it." "I'm an honest man." "Let's not call it spying, we'll call it "chatting", let's just say that it's a pleasure for me to talk to a survivor." "Cause you're a survivor, you know that, right?" "A gift from a friend, it stopped" "What a rip-off, never trust friends!" "Tell me why they let you live and you're free to go." " What time is it?" " 4:20." "Just give me ten words and Lebanese will get a life sentence." "So?" "What do you say?" "It's workin' now!" "Rocchi, come get some air." "My name's Carenza, I'm here because you risk a very long sentence." "For what?" "I'm innocent, unemployed." "I live off disability payments." " For Rosellini's kidnapping." " Who?" " Rosellini." " What's that got to do with me?" " A commissioner's on your trail." "Some bills were spent by a woman to whom you signed over a building." "You're in big trouble." "But I can help you." "Who sent you here?" "Who are you?" "A guard, a cop, who the fuck are you?" "A guy who helps out the State once in a while." "You wanna get me outta here?" "The rest is just bullshit." "If we get busy, you'll be out in two weeks." "Well Rocchi... what shall we do?" "Shall we get busy?" "Are you still here?" "I've got loads to do." "Okay then." "No, I won't cool it!" "The bills were decisive evidence." "Where the fuck were they kept?" "How'd they disappear?" "Who cares about your internal investigation I" "In the meantime, you let a thug like Lebanese walk free!" "Fuck you I" "You need patience, sir." " Sir my ass I Fuck patience." " Sorry." "It's not your fault, Colussi." "Here's the Vallesi file." "Whores and clients in the building." "This car sure turns me on." "Only me and the Prince of Torlonia have one." "I drove mom to the market with it, to buy salad." "Everyone was starin', she almost started crying." "Here he is." "Lebanese." " Am I getting' married?" " Someone importants expecting' us." " Who?" " Uncle Carlo." " The Sicilian?" "Do you call him?" " He called us." " We're doin' Rome big time!" " We'll juice it!" " We'll take it over!" "We'd like to embark on a joint venture with you" "You don't know what that is, Slim can explain it to you." "He's got a great voice, he's like a sewer rat for cash." "He can sniff money out..." "The dirtier it is, the more he makes from it." "You pay cash on arrival for the merchandise." "The profits are yours, it's a deflationary operation." "15 kilos every 20 days." " It's not easy to move it." "Are you sure?" "Yes, Uncle Carlo." " Can I ask a question?" " Sure." " Does Terrible know about this offer you're makin' us?" " No." "In fact... we're wondering how to tell him, because he gets offended easily, he's... a proud man." "Weird, 'cause he knows everything." "He knew where I was when they arrested me." "He wasn't always like that, believe me." "Now he's nothing but trouble, and in these cases, we say, only the living cause trouble." " Cheers." " Cheers to everyone." "Leave the car in Via del Babuino." "Come get me in half an hour." "I'll say just one name:" "A pal of yours, he's down there." "When you see him, send my regards." "His name's Judas." "Mind if we keep you company, Terrible?" " He didn't hear you." " It burns." " What'd he say?" "I didn't get it." "Wanna smoke?" "It's late, I gotta go." " How about you?" " Comm'." "Bye, Terrible." "At school I only liked emperors, Augustus, Titus, Hadrian..." " Not me, they were crazy guys." " But they had big ideas." "No, they all ended badly." "Not in wars, but for bullshit." " Maybe that'll happen to us too." " You think you're an emperor?" "You got some delusions of grandeur!" " Everyone who changed history had delusions of grandeur." " Like?" "Mussolini, Hitler..." "Even Stalin I" " Don't forget Mao Tse-Tung!" " He's a Communist but he's got balls!" "Dictators..." "what's wrong with bein' a dictator?" " I ain't down with dictators." " I know." "Think I don't know you?" " I know you better than anyone else" " True." "To Lebanese, this club, and us I" "Dramatic news just in." "The Christian Democrat president Aldo Moro, has just been kidnapped in Rome by terrorists." "The five officers who escorted him are apparently all dead." "Here are the first special editions." "Contact those hotheads we've been following." "How about the guy we released from prison?" "You saw what happened at the Spanish Steps, he's dangerous" " Is he the boss?" " Yes." "Set up a meeting and be careful." " Good morning." " See, I kept my word." " Am I supposed to thank you?" " No, but here's some advice, next time pick a more discreet place to resolve your matters." " What do you need?" " Do you read the newspapers?" " I watch TV." " Then you'll have seen that the country's at war." " I heard." " He's the one who sprung him from the slammer?" "Apparently." "Looks like an accountant to me" " He's comin'." " Mortadella." " That guy creeps me out." " We don't have to marry him." " Did he say what he wanted?" " He made it clear." " He said we gotta find out where Aldo Moro is." " What?" "Aldo Moro?" "He said the interested party would be grateful." " And who's that?" " Fucked if I know!" " Who the fuck is he, who sent him?" " The State." "A State suit." "He knows a lot about us." "Too much... everything." "Comm' in?" " We find Moro what's in it for us?" " Right!" " Yeah, for us?" " He said to find him and then we'll find out." " The State does stuff like this?" " Even worse." "Patrizia could help us, with all the government guys she sees I" "We can snoop around the arms market." "But the Red Brigades get weapons from the Russians!" " No way, from the Palestinians!" " What are you on about?" "!" "MY ass!" "We'll use our own means." "The ones we know all about." " Grab the ladies." " Police, everyone up." " Let's see some ID." " Where's Patrizia?" " Stay here." "Yeah..." "That's right." " Get dressed and show some ID." " Cover yourself." "Get out, this is my house I" "Your house, eh?" "Wow, you've made progress, Cinzia." "Do you use this place to blackmail people?" "You take pictures here and send them to the wives?" "Or is it Dandy's playground?" "You here with your legs open and him watching." "You have no idea what kind of person comes here." "If you try to close it, I warn you" " You think I'm afraid of Dandy?" " I'm referring to your friends."

"No deals for now, we can't leave Rome." "Profits will increase 300% in a few months." "We gotta avenge Lebanese, right?" "Revenge is a noble sentiment." " But try doing both things." " Groan comes first." "He's been missing for months, let it go." "He made a bad move, you'll get revenge in time." "You're shedding lots of blood, too much." "Believe me, too much is the enemy of justice." "I don't give a shit about justice." "It's impolite to speak that way to a white-haired man, as if to say my words aren't worth shit, and that nobody listens to me any more." "What are we talking about here?" " Relax." " I'm outta here." " Sit down." " Where are you goin'?" " Gaetano." " Uncle Carlo." "He didn't mean to disrespect you." "But we never had a family like yours that tells us what to do, what can be said and what can't be said." "We're from the streets, we want in on the deal." "All right." "Let's go, Gaetano."

"His word against yours." "I don't give a shit about the gas guy." "Let me tell you a story." " A fairytale?" " No, a real story." "Begins in Bologna, ends in Novellara." "August 2nd, the day of the massacre." "That day you rented a car from Bologna to Rome." "We found a suit you bought near the train station." "The clerk recalled selling it to a dusty man who said it was a miracle he survived." "Why the fuck were you in Bologna?" "I was waitin' for a client who was buyin' a place in Rome." "I even helped pull people out of the rubble with my own hands." " Is that a crime?" " No, it's not." " Well then, Novara, Novellara..." "Never heard of 'em, never been there." "We found a corpse in Novellara." "No name, no face for it, but as is sometimes the case," "I say he died because he knew something important." "I know it wasn't you, because you were in Rome early in the afternoon." "But whoever did it used your guns, a Walter P38." " "Your" guns? "Your" who?" " Your gang's." "I knew this was a fairytale I Did you put that on the record?" "Will it last much longer?" "Cause since "Snow White", fairy tales have bored me to death" "Shit-head I" "85 dead and 200 wounded sounds like a fairytale to you?" "Bologna wasn't a gang thing, it was yours I" "Quit bustin' my balls and go look at the Ministry, or the room upstairs!" " What?" " Maybe you'll find a timer saying "Italian Republic" on it." "What the fuck are you saying?" "What the fuck are you saying?" "!" " Here we go, the same old dance." " See this?" " Come on!" "This is Lebanese's." "Recognize it?" "You were buddy-buddy with him." "Look here." "Where the fuck is it?" "August 2nd, what's it say?" ""Novellara, pay back", what's that mean?" "It means "leave the dead in peace"." "Do you leave the dead in peace?" "Aren't you searching for Lebanese's killer to get him back?" " I don't get what you're sayin'." " No, you don't." "You're looking at 20 years in prison, and with a pretty girl like yours, it would be a real pity." "If you don't talk, you'll forget what she looks like." "Commissioner..." "I never even confessed to God, why would I confess to you?" "Get him outta here." "Let's see who breaks first, dick-head I" " Say hi to 'em." "Say hi to Mozzicone." " Mozzicone's dead." " When'd he die?" "A few years back, he committed suicide." " Really '2!" "Special visit." "Look at you I" " Look at the shape you're in!" " Never mind." " Lemme see your arm." " Never mind." "Tell Dandy these guys don't have jack on us." " He's gotta get me an alibi." " All right." "I saw Roberta." "She left me the keys to your place and left." " What'd she say?" " Nothin'." "She saw the papers, the TV, they wrote a load of bullshit about you, Lebanese..." "She got scared." " Did she say where she's goin'?" " She didn't say anythin'." " Remember to do what I asked." " Okay." "And don't be an ass." " I'll try." " Bye." " Bye." "Well?" "Nothing to say?" "You're aiding Italy's most ferocious criminal gang, with dozens of deaths on their hands." " Do you get it?" "You can't hold me for false testimony." "My lawyer's already pressing charges against half the force." "You weren't with Ice that night." "He might be a criminal, but he's in love with his girlfriend I" " People don't just come to me to make love." " Then why?" "They come to get dirty." "Did Dandy ask you to come?" "Ice needed an alibi and you're his alibi." "Will you kill for them next time?" "Bitch..." "Fuck you I" "This is your chance to free yourself of Dandy once and for all." "Put it on the record he sent you here and I'll lock him up." "You'll be free." "We'll help you I" "I make men dream, not die in a four-wall cell" "Hallo?" "When did it happen?" "I see, in a clinic." "Okay." "Inform the judge." "Thanks." " The lady..." " Let her in." " Come in." " How was your night in jail?" " Fine." "Always fine." "You can go." "Sign." "Don't look at me," "I'm a mess." "You're never a mess" " Did he believe you?" " Yes." "Good job, baby." "I'm your whore, not your alibi or your friends' alibi!" "Don't call yourself a whore." "Do I treat you like a whore?" " No, but you bought me." " What are you sayin'?" " I know." " Listen..." " I don't want to listen, I just want to take a shower!" "What're you lookin' at?" "I'm handsome, huh?" "I know lots of guys like you:" "Superficial, ignorant, heartless." "Maybe you're in deep shit by accident but I know you don't like it." " Are you done?" "Yes." " Can I get a cigarette?" "A cigarette, please." "Never mind." "You're free this time." "Someone you know, Patrizia, said you were with her." "I know it's not true, but I can't prove it." "You're a killer and a drug trafficker," "But to you that powder is just merchandise." "Those who shoot up are pricks, right?" " What are they to you, eh?" " More fairy tales..." "Fairytales." "But one of them means something to you." "Your brother Gigio." "They found him on the street with the needle still in his arm." "Sign and get lost." " Where's Gigio?" " No hurry, Gigio didn't wait for you!" " What the fuck are you saying?" " It's your fault Gigio's dead!" " He wanted to be like you." " Get off I" " He wanted to be you I" "Close that door." "I'm takin' you outta here," "I won't leave you here." "I'm takin' you home." "Sorry about Gigio," "I'll find out who his dealer was I swear." "I got some important news" "Uncle Carlo found Groan for us." "What do you wanna do?" "You and Ricotta behind, we'll go on ahead." "Hurry up, I have to go to my cousin's wedding." " Can I have some sambuca in this?" " Right away, honey." " With milk?" " Yeah." " The spoon?" " It's already stirred... fuck." " Carlo I Carlo I" " Yes?" "Stefan, see what's up." " Bastards!" " Help I" " Get outta here!" "Dandy, give us a hand!" "Where are you?" " Coming I" " Where the hell are you, Dandy '2!" " Dandy!" " Dandy!" " No..." "Dandy I Dandy!" "Dandy I Dandy!" "Who did Lebanese come here with?" "I dunno." "He just said that he liked the silence here." " Were these books his?" " They're still wrapped." "Maybe he bought them in bulk" " Ever look someone in the eyes after you shoot him?" " No." "I always do, it's like they take off their mask." "A worthless guy becomes bold, a brave guy cries, a godless guy prays" "Wonder how we'll be when it's our turn." "Ice!" "Ice!" "You're here." "How's it goin'?" "Nobody followed me, I was careful." "Scialoja's got the special treatment planned for me, he may hate you, but he hates me more." " He thinks I was at Groan's that day." " What an ass!" " It didn't seem like you were there." " Is that supposed to be funny?" "Then tell me why you didn't shoot when the cops showed up." " Your hand get paralyzed?" " Shootin' cops is bad luck." " Shit, they were wiping' us out!" " Get your hands off me!" " And you just took off!" " Get your fucking hands off!" "Aldo had already picked you up," "Buffalo and Ricotta were done for, it was pointless playing the hero I" " Right, paint the picture you want!" " That's a crock of shit." "Get your hands off me I" "You didn't give a fuck about avenging' Lebanese." "Here we go again." "Let go of the past and start thinkin' about the future." "You can't erase the past, so leave the dead in peace." "Is that Uncle Carlo's line?" "He's got you trained like a poodle." " You'll bring him his slippers soon." " What'd you say?" "Everything's falling to pieces." "Look!" " Lemme show you what's happenin'." " What's this?" "Lebanese's accounts." " The sums don't match Slim's." " What are you on about?" " So, he's a vulture." " You wanna kill him too?" " You do it." "Understand?" "You deal with Slim I" " It's your chance to make up for everything." "You're paranoid." " You backing' out?" " No, I'll kill Slim, but he's not the problem." "You're here deciding who lives or dies." " Meanwhile, the others cash in." " Huh?" "They out the heroin even more." "They sell the rest and pocket it." " That's why kids like Gigio die." " Gimme names!" "Aldo Buffoni." "No fuckin' way!" "Not Aldo, no." "Not Aldo..." "Go away, leave me alone, please." "Anyway, now's not the time to act they're on our backs." "We can't tear each other apart." "We'll deal with each other later." " Leave me alone." " I swear, we'll sort things out." " You think the others are pricks?" " What's that mean?" "Tell me something: what am I to you?" "An entertaining clown?" "A loser, a nobody?" " Dandy, what are you saying?" " Do I entertain you?" "No, no!" "That's what a lot of people think." "They say, "Call Dandy, we'll have a few laughs."" "Dandy, tell us about that time..." "I say yes." "I smile, talk bullshit..." "You know why?" "So they won't be scared." "And when I stop laughing..." "I cause pain..." "Because I... cause pain." "Nobody expects it from me." "My smile can chop up guys like you more than this can." "The light bulb finally went on in here." "There was no way Lebanese drained his bank account." " You did it." " I don't know who said that, I didn't..." "Ah I" "I'll chop off a hand, afoot, or that thing between your legs that you only use to piss." "You won't find another who moves money like me." " Oh really?" " I should've told you, but Ice was there..." "Hey, I'm not Ice." " That's why we're talking." " You don't get it, do you?" "I don't wanna talk." "Ever seen a lamb's head?" "I could split you open in two, just like that." "Commissioner Scialoja, please." "Patrizia." "Just Patrizia." "I didn't waste Lebanese's money, I reinvested it I" " Through the Chinese." " Yeah?" "You reinvested it for yourself I" "If you want in, lemme talk." "Hi, I need to see you." "Me too." "Layout want in, we'll do it together but without Ice." "He's mad, he doesn't understand what money laundering's about." "I can't work under someone like him, and you know why." "Only one of you is fit to be boss..." "You." "Even Uncle Carlo said so." " He did, for real?" " I swear, Dandy." "Wipe that sweat from your brow you give me the shivers, you're so gross." "Tell me about the Chinese." "I went dancing' last night, salsa and merengue with Sonia." " Up all night, huh?" " You know how it is..." " Nice place." " Like it?" " What now?" " Now we'll take a little walk." " Let's go." "Damn, I'm winded from walkin' uphill." "I put on some weight recently." " Can't hack it, eh?" " Nope!" " But you manage to dance." "Why don't you come with some girls?" "We'd have a blast." "Sure thing." "Lemme rest, that hill killed me." "Look what I bought myself." " The stuff inside is killer, wanna hit?" " You don't get it." "Get what?" "Have a hit." "Come on, Ice, have a hit." " Why do you throw it?" " You don't get what you've done." " What'd I do?" " You resold our stuff on your own." "You don't get it." "Ice, I swear to you..." "Look at me." "I made a mistake, I know." "Let's consider it a loan, I'll pay it back." "I knew this would happen I I knew it..." "Damn it..." "I knew this would happen I I knew it I" "Damn it, damn it!" " I'm supposed to trust you?" " It won't happen again," "Help me, will you?" "I'll pay back every last cent." " Everyone knows what you did." " I know, you're right!" "In prison we shared everything:" "Cold, heat, hunger, lice." "I always told you everything I" "And I wanted to tell you who sold the gear to your brother." "Rat did!" "I'll take care of him if you want." "Want me to go to Brazil with Sonia and disappear?" "What should I do?" "Tell me!" "Let's do this:" "You go to Brazil with Sonia, but don't ever come back, got it?" "You gotta disappear forever." "Yeah, forever, I swear." "Hug me I" " Gimme a hug then piss off." " Thanks, thanks." " Want some peanuts?" " Yeah, but go take a walk now." "Dandy, tell Ice it's over." "The open door's been closed." "The blood he wanted to spill..." "it's been split." "We don't want any more deaths." "And when I say "we"..." "I mean "we"." " Get it?" "l do." " You get what I mean?" " Yeah." "Ice is mad." "You have to stop him by any means necessary." "Don't ask this of me." "He's like a brother to me" "I can't do it the way you want me to." " I swear..." "Aldo Buffoni was the last." " Okay." "But if he wasn't the last, he'll be the last anyway." "Cause if he keeps this up, the thing you don't wanna do" "will be done by us." "Cheers." "Cheers, Uncle Carlo." "I talked to Ciro." "He's still cryin' over his brother." "I told him to take his money and go." "So what can I say?" "All sorted." "All sorted..." "If the ice-caps melt and Rome sinks into a sea of mud you'll still keep saying: all sorted." " Is Slim still alive?" " Yes." " So you two made a deal." " What are you sayin'?" "Hey buddy, I may be a hermit here in the woods, but I ain't green." "I could've blasted you both if I wanted to." " But I don't give a shit any more, do what you want." " Believe me." "I'll never wage war on you" "I know." "Just a bit of stabbing in the back, maybe." "You always wanted to please others." "That's why you're such a liar." "Why do you say that?" "You shouldn't say that to me." "I found Roberta, she works at a gallery." "I can bring her here." "Or... here's the address." "I should've told you right away, allowed you to make a choice." "Know what they say about you?" "Do you?" "Yeah." "I had nothing to do with Bologna." "You wanted to build our relationship on lies?" "I didn't want to lose you." "Roberta..." "I really wanted to give it all up to go away with you." "But then... things got complicated." " Leave me alone." " Roberta, listen to how fast my heart's beating." " Just leave me alone." " I need you." "Let me live my life in peace." "Let me live in peace." "Please." "Let me live in peace." "I'm sorry, I don't want to see you ever again." "I thought a lot about the last time we met, when you arrested me and then released me." "Why?" " To frame Dandy?" " No." "Why'd you caress me?" "What do you want from me?" "Don't say anything." "Help me catch Dandy." "Follow Rat." "I haven't done anything." "I've got nothing to do with it, I don't even know those people." "We want to save your life, they're waiting for you." "Ice didn't put a hole in your head, but as soon as you get out, one of them will, maybe Dandy." "Unless you help us put 'em all away." "If you leave and they're outside, you're a dead rat, you know?" " The Commissioner mustn't intimidate my client I" " He's not!" "So..." "Rat, you wanna get out?" "Then go!" "You can leave now!" "If you have any special requests for your burial, tell Colussi." " Go, you're a free man." " Don't say anything." " Go!" "Commissioner, I want to..." " I wanna dismiss my lawyer." " Think this through." "I demand a written retraction of the accusation, this interrogation's over." " No it's not, now piss off I" " Don't say anything." " Please, get outta here I" " Don't mess up." "Calm down." "You did the right thing." " Will you help me?" " That's why we're here." "I..." "I belong..." "to a criminal organization." " Okay?" " Yes." " It's true." " Colussi..." "Calm clown, or we can't understand you" "Breathe deeply and tell us everything, okay?" "I belong..." "For years I've belonged to this criminal organization." ""For years, I've belonged to this criminal organization."" "An extensive, powerful one." ""An extensive powerful one."" "I was in charge of assuring the quality of the drugs..." ""I was in charge of assuring the quality of the drugs."" " I know them all." " "I know them all."" "Gambling dens, land, buildings..." "they've got everything." "They even bought a nightclub and, except for you, nobody's ever bothered them, cause they're friends with the mafia, and with terrorists and some cops." "I know Ice wants me dead, and that Dandy's in charge now." "Dandy, leave the house now, the police are coming to get you." "Here are your fake documents, disappear for a bit." "Lebanese's villa's not a good idea." "We'll take you to a house in Corsica." "In the meantime, we'll see what we can do about the trial" "Stop." "Layout open this cell, I'll kill him with my bare hands." "Get over there." "Put this one with the newcomers." "Get inside." " I'm sorry, Bones." " Me, too." "I'm sick of staying' abroad as an ex-con." "I told the lawyer" "I want my criminal record whitewashed." "So if one day I quit," "I can leave through the front door without fearing the police." " Scialoja's still your nightmare." " That's why I called you." "He's obsessed with us." "We're guilty of everything." " So we got nothin' to lose." " What do I do?" "Two things." "First, Scialoja." "But it's gotta look like an accident or Uncle Carlo'll flip out." "It won't be easy, he's a cop and always under escort." "Do what you can, these Sicilian shits think only they can kill cops and judges." " Who else?" " A banker from Milan" "A prick who's buggin' some of our friends." "Your friends, the Masons who run around in aprons." "Yeah, those dickheads." "They play with compasses, hoods, and membership numbers." "I even got a number." "Once at a meeting a guy said "Brother Mason" to me." "To me, get it?" "If only my dear ol' dad heard that, he wanted me to be a mason..." "We can't find him." " What did Scialoja want?" " The usual cop questions." "Don't bullshit me." "Dandy asked me to kill him." "I don't care about your relationship, but I wanna know if Dandy asked me because of Ice, Lebanese, all the others in jail, or if it's just a guy thing." "If it's for our guys, I'll kill him if not, settle it yourselves." " Why this urgent need to meet?" " We need to talk." "About what?" "I want to close the brothel and stop working." "I've already told the girls." "I figure if I sell the house, I can buy ten apartments." "I'm gonna move in with you." "Really?" "But put the house in my name." " I wanna be the boss at home." " The house is yours." "The house isn't enough" "What else do you want?" "Tell me what else you need." "Do you want me forever?" "Forever, really?" "Then don't touch the Commissioner." "Tell Black to back off." " Why do you care about that louse?" " I don't." "But when he questioned me that time, he treated me well, like a lady" "Because he was scared of me." " Maybe, but don't kill him." " All right." "Swear." " Swear on the baby we'll have." " I swear." "Now fuck me good." " Good morning." " Mr Pisano, may I?" "Good morning." "Here's the mail and the paper." "That's urgent, from Corsica." " Something wrong?" " Same old things." " It's a memory from a few years ago." " I'll be going." " Good morning, Simone."

"Honey are you home 7" "Are you in the bathroom 7" "Sorry for the wait, have a seat" "To what do I owe this visit?" "To the fact that our paths have crossed so often over the years." "And that is odd considering I deal with criminals and you deal with something completely different." "Through rumors, declarations, phone calls, objective confirmations, we've uncovered some rather disturbing things about you." " Are you here to arrest me?" " Not yet." "I'll request an investigation to uncover who you really are" "I'll tell you myself and spare you the worthless slander." "I'm a servant of the State." "Due to my job, I interact with evil, just like you do." "The signals I've been gathering for some time indicate it will all end soon."

"I'll leave one minute before the earthquake." "Don't waste your time removing me, history will do that." "But rather... how did you let Ice slip through your fingers?" "My admiration for you wavered," "I hope you don't disappoint me again." "For example, tomorrow," "Buffalo will be on leave from the criminal asylum." "Do you know what this gentleman will do?" "Of course, I've said it for years, he'll attempt to kill Dandy." " Right, and you must impede him." " Impede him?" "Yes." "I came to say you'd be arrested soon and you give me orders?" "No orders."

"I've done lots of dumb shit in my life but since the first time I saw you, and for the rest of my life, you've been the most a guy like me could hope for." "You know me, but there's a lot I didn't tell you." "One is that I am sick, very sick, and when my time comes, I Want to be alone..." "I Want to spare you the pain, the treatments, the blood, everything that comes before We go." "Go do the job you love so much but gave up because of me." "I can picture you, with your glasses, your tight ass, among statues, paintings, books, antiques and beautiful things." "I can picture you, honey." "My love." " This is Art Nouveau." " Right" " Whose was it?" " Sarah Bernhardt's." " A famous French actress." " It's very refined." "Yes." " She was D'Annunzio's lover." " I knew that." "Put it aside, I'm doing up a building in Piazza Navona." " Nice, they Grecian?" " No, Louis XVI." "I wanna live in the center again, my father got kicked out on his ass years ago I" " Wrap up these Louis things." "Goodbye, Mike." " Bye, Dandy." "Celebrations in Berlin, for the opening of the border..." "The symbol of division of the counter-powers in Europe..." "Everyone on the streets to celebrate the unstoppable fall of the wall." " Here." " Thanks." " Hello." " Hi, Roberta." "A coffee." " Your coffee." " Thanks." " How much?" " 200 lira." " Thanks, bye." " Bye." "Commissioner Scialoja, please." "Tell him it's Ice." "Maybe you don't get it," "I'm back in Italy to turn myself in, I'll tell you everything." "Who we really were, who knew us, who we knew, who protected us." "They're big names." "I only ask one thing, no hassles at the airport." "I just need a few hours, then I'm all yours." "This is my resignation letter." "I'm Walking out on tiptoe, Without making a scene." "In the future there will be no need for people like me because there Won '1 be a democracy to save, just private interests, battles for more power, more money." "The few files I take with me regard men who must save themselves from the storm, often vile people, black souls, mercenary captains." "Yet, as We've already seen in history they'll be the rulers of the chaos." "This is where everything started." "We stole a car behind that building when we were kids." "It was Lebanese, Dandy, me, and Grand" "And Andrea, who left us that same night." "It was a night like this, all ominous and cloudy." "Maybe his death was a sign telling' us to be good, to know our place, or we'd end up like him" "Instead we thought it was better to die like him than punch a time card for the rest of our lives." " What'd you tell him?" " That his wife wants to reconcile." "But she wants to do it in front of a priest." "At that church you named." "Go there early tomorrow morning..." " Where's the piece?" " In there." "Did you really get married?" "I did." " Who the heck married you?" " A nutcase." "She's so short when we go out she looks like my spare tire." " But she loves me, she really does." " I'm happy for you." " Let me off here." " Here?" "Yes." " What's here?" " Nothing." "Ice... respect to you." "I have a meeting with the priest, is he in?" "He won't be in today." "Ciro." "Ice." " Hi." " Hello." " Looks like a settling of scores." "Hello, Scialoja." " What a pity, he could've been helpful." " Perhaps." "May I congratulate you on becoming the new Police Chief?" "Cover that body!" "Ice!" "Bastards I" "Where'd you go?" "Some dent, what happened?" " Andrea run, the police are coming'." " Ice, what happened?" " Lemme see you run I" " Run, the police!" "I'm runnin'!" "Ice I Gimme your hand!"
