"The boy is fine." "Everything is all right." "He's going to middle school next year." "You're my first visitor since I got here." "How did you swing it?" "Renato." "You know how much I love you." "Try to" "What?" "Try to change or you'll die in here." "Change?" "Change how?" "I was born to be a thief." "Fuck, stop!" "You need to give up this shit." "Stop playing jokes." "Fuck, you know what?" "You're just a bunch of fucking sissies." "My father..." "Fuck!" "There's a man!" "He really hurt me." "LIGURIAN APENNINES 1987" "Bosco, please, this is nonsense." "Corantoni did the night shift." "He couldn't take care of the prisoners' transfer too." "Yes, but you know..." "One and two." "The restaurant closes at 10." "I understand." "Which one, sir?" "Which one?" "Now, let's see..." "Sergeant major, there are two beds in there and two in here." "There are three of us, that doesn't work." "Are you an idiot?" "Three of us, two beds." "Two of us sleep and the other guards the prisoner, don't you think?" " Let's see what we can do." " You guys really take the cake!" "Obviously this one's for the prisoner." "Come on." "There's a basin." "There's a basin." "So if a guy's got to piss at night, there's no trouble." "Fuck, do I have to spell it out for you?" "Come on." "This must be his." "We'll let him sleep here, then." "Officer, take the cuffs off him." "Let's check out the beds." "Let's give it a search." "God, it stinks!" " It's okay, sergeant major." " All right." "All right." "We'll take care of the bags later." "Mr. Vallanzasca, here are your bags." "Put them there." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I'm tired." "All set, we'll lock the door." "Have a good evening." " Sergeant major!" " What is it?" " Are you going to the restaurant?" " Yes, we are going now." " Can you get me something, please?" " Pasta or meat?" "Get me some fish, maybe some seafood." " It's been ages since I had any." " Do you think this is The Excelsior?" " Listen, another thing, please." " Yes?" "Keep it for me." "I'm tired, I need some rest." "I'll knock when I'm hungry." "Vallanzasca, we'll see what we can do." "Officer, come with me." "Pino, what are you getting?" "Come forward!" "Move it along!" "Go there!" "Keep coming, come on!" "Move it along!" "Move it along!" "Come on!" "Like this, yes!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Free!" "What kind of trouble did you two get into last night?" "Look at your faces!" " We went dancing." " Yes, it shows." "It shows you went dancing." "You look familiar, you know?" "Where have I seen you?" "Damn." " Maybe in a disco." " Do you sing in a band from Vigevano?" "Well, I used to sing." " In a group?" " Yeah, yeah." "What's the name of the band?" "The Comasina Band." "Yeah, I've heard them." "You guys were great." "Yeah." "We were great." "See if you like this band." "Wow, it's really cool!" "Really cool!" "You got a smoke?" "Yes." "Yes." "Thank you, Serena." " Can I try these on?" " Sure." " How do I look?" " You look very cool." " Are you sure?" " Yes, you're very cool." "Very cool." "Give me this, come on." "I got one thing from her and now I get one thing from you." " And we're even." " You took 40 years off me in one day." "Antonella who?" "No, you have the wrong number." "Three, four..." "Three, four, five, three." " Where are you now?" " Here in Milan." "Then I'll wait for you." "You know where, don't you?" " Yes." " Be careful." "Renato?" "Renato." " Yes?" " Dinner's ready." "Coming, Mom." "Coming." "They're looking everywhere for him." "Genoa, Liguria, the border, the Riviera." "But so far there's no trace of Renato Vallanzasca." "How he escaped is bewildering and up for debate." "Thank you." "Two million." " Here." " Why?" "In two days, I'll make back a hundred." "Don't worry." "They opened the door and discovered he had escaped." "Something to defend yourself with." "What is it?" "I don't need that." "Put it away, Dad." "Run away to South America." "Don't worry, Dad." "Don't worry." "Bye, Mom." "He mixed with the 1000 people on board the ferry and with the crowd at the pier." "Just one more minute." "We can make it curly if you like." "Then even your own mother wouldn't recognize you." "Sis, what's the matter?" "It was a mistake to visit you." "No, no, sorry." "I'm going through a very rough time." "Come here." "Come here a moment." "I can't stand seeing you so sad." "My little sister." "You were just a child, an angel." "Take me with you." " Don't be silly." "Come on." " But I want to be close to you." "I'd never do that." "Excuse me." "Could you tell me where Radio Popolare is?" "Radio Popolare?" "Piazza Santo Stefano." "It's the second left." "Go past Piazza Fontana and Via Larga..." " ... and you reach Piazza Santo Stefano." " Very kind of you." "And now what?" "Now?" "Now nothing." "I feel like a shipwreck survivor." "Besides, that kind of crime, the way it used to be the kind I was part of, doesn't exist anymore." "It's over." "Today the kid who shoots an old lady to steal 100,000 lire, I can't relate to him." "The only thing I could tell him is that the moment a man loses his self-esteem believing there's no limit to violence is the moment he's no longer a man." "Of course." "Of course." "But I'd like to ask you something." "You're thinking very clearly now, rationally but you committed some very cruel crimes." "What can you say to our listeners?" "Well I understand the question." "I can't deny I did all sorts of things, you know?" "Actually, I made some real messes." "But believe me, I'm not a bad person." "I just have a more pronounced dark side." "I feel like an angel fascinated by darkness." "And after this bullshit, bring on the violins!" "All right." "Our interview ends here, we'll be taking phone calls." " We thank Renato for his time." " No, thank you." "Stop." " Is that it?" " Yes, that's it." "Listen, give me time to get away." "Don't air it for three or four hours." "No, no." "I will air it this afternoon only." "That's the end of the interview." "We are live again, who's on the line?" "What are you doing?" "You're honoring a murderer." "I'd propose a referendum asking for the death penalty for Vallanzasca." "His mother should be ashamed for giving birth to him." "Every opinion is to be respected, especially if it's not anonymous." "No, no, listen." "I'm not hiding." "Here's my number: 024585..." "Good evening, Mr. I'm Not Afraid of Anyone." "You don't know who I am?" "You just told me off in no uncertain terms!" "I'm Renato." "I'm Renato Vallanzasca." "You don't speak anymore?" "Did your tongue fall off?" "I'll talk then." "I wanted to say that I respect everyone's opinion." "Yours too." "But it really bothered me that you brought my mom into this." "Relax!" "What's your name?" "Bruno." "With all due respect, I'd never go busting a plumber's balls." "Okay, don't worry, I have to leave you now." "Yes." "Bye-bye." "Good evening, documents please." "What are you going to do?" "Fuck, how old are you, 13?" " Why?" " How old are you?" "20, so what?" "You hit the jackpot." "I'm Renato Vallanzasca." "Renato Vallanzasca spent many of the following 20 years in prison both in maximum security units and in daytime isolation." "His cumulative punishment amounts to four life sentences and 290 years of imprisonment." "He continued his conflict with prison institutions until 1995 when he promised to "bury the hatchet" after his umpteenth attempt to escape." "In 2005 he received permission to marry Antonella."
