"We're closed!" "Postman!" "About time too, it's taken you ages." "The time it takes." "It's a long way from Val Melaina." "It is if you stop for the whores." "Asshole, think I'm the type to go with whores?" "Did you enjoy it, darling?" "OK, but hurry." "You're the last back." "How much did you make in Europa?" "30 million." "Val Melaina." "20 million." "Great stuff." " What does that make it?" " Wait a sec... 63." "Exactly 250 million lire." "With the other money, that's half a billion lire." "We've doubled our capital." "So what?" "Lebanse, why do we bother counting it if we can't spend it?" "I've got nothing to wear." "I've been wearing these jeans for a month." "Ah, that explains the strange smell!" "I'm going to hurt you." "Easy, Bufalo." "Bufalo's right." "Business is going well." "We've laundered the ransom money, it's time to loosen the belt a bit." "Equal shares for everyone!" "I feel better already." " I'll count my own out." " Get to work!" "Come on, Buffoni." "Don't worry, there's some for you too." "How's Sardo then?" "Still treating the blisters on his feet." "He should thank God he's not three metres below ground." "It's a pity he tried to dupe us, there's a lot of money coming in." "We need somebody to mind the kitty." "Sardo would have been ideal." "But we can't trust him now." ".. or Ricotta." "Who does that leave us with?" "Trentadenari, you could do it." "You don't play dirty like Sardo." "Do you want to mind the kitty." "Sergio this is yours." "What the fuck is that now?" "Sorry boys." " It has to be done." " What, more work?" "Well are you going to unload it?" "Lebanese, are you making us work nights too?" "Don't be such a pain!" "Get this truck unloaded!" "Scrocchiazeppi, give him a hand." "Come on!" "Just when I had enough money to get myself a hooker!" "After all the hard work we've done!" "Jesus!" "It's full of whores!" "Who are you calling a whore?" "Are we going to get down to it then?" "Freddo, come and dance!" "You'd better go and dance with my friend." "Freddo, don't you like any of them?" "Shall I get you the hairy redhead?" "Thanks, but I'm not in the mood tonight." "Where's Dandi hiding?" "He had something to do tonight." "Is that clear?" "Tomorrow you go to Centocelle and sell it below cost." "But isn't that Terribile's patch?" "Not for much longer." "Hey!" "Don't shoot it all up." "There you are, just in time." "Come on." "Behave yourself, let's go." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on Lebanese!" "Smile Freddo, you don't get a chance like this very often," " Come on Lebanese!" " Are we ready?" " Come on!" " Shall we do it?" "Ready with that camera?" "Three, two, one." "Good morning miss." "Do you need a lift?" "I thought I recognised the voice." " Where are you off to so early?" " Home" "Jump in, I'll give you a lift." " Fancy breakfast first?" " Yeah I'm famished." " Hello Roberta." " Hi." " The usual?" " Yes." "What will you have?" "Two cappuccinos, two brioches." " He's with you, is he?" " Yes, he's a friend of mine." "What were you doing up at this hour?" "I just got off work, I am a baby sitter." "You're working?" "I thought you were still at school." "I am." "The training college nearby." "I work to make some pocket money." " What are you studying to be?" " A secretary." "If I need a secretary I'll give you a call then." "What's your company?" "I work in construction." "I'm on my way to check out a building site." "At dawn?" "What is there to check?" "Don't worry" "There's always some trouble." " What's it to him?" " I don't know." "You can't go to work like that." "Like what?" "What's wrong?" "You look more convincing now." "If you say so." "What the fuck..." "It's late, you have to go." "Good morning." "It's been morning for hours." "A friend of yours is outside." "About last night..." "You have to pay me, even if you don't do anything." "I'll pay you." "It's just that..." "I mean..." "You know what I mean?" "It's never happened before." "You know me, I'm like a train." "I must have snorted too much stuff yesterday." "Do you know how many clients I have that can't get it up?" "You're one of many." "Now go, I've someone else due." "You're my woman now, and I don't want you screwing anyone else." "It's not funny." " Only make love with me." " Yes." "Don't worry." "I'll only do it with you." "But we'll talk about it later, because I don't like it." " Let's go and spend some cash." " With that sulky look on your face?" "Want me to curtsey to you?" "If you're good at it." "Let's go, I'll show you how to live it up." "I'll give you a good deal mate." "I have the best stuff in Rome." "Trust me, it's not that talc Terribile supplies you with," "In fact, drop him, and come to work for me instead." "I'll give you 10 percent more each dose." " Don't talk crap." " I'm not joking." "The offer's only valid for a few hours." "I'm in a hurry." "OK  I'll think about it." " Will you be around?" " Of course." "I see." "You want to buy Patrizia a present and you need a hand." "Two, Ranocchia." "Hands and feet." "We have to find the best of the best." "Here you are." " Wow!" " Smart, eh?" "How do I look?" "Well, nice, but not even Yves Sait-Laurent can stop you looking like a boor." "Or stop you looking like a homo." "Let's go." "Wait, I'm choosing something for Patrizia." "You're right." "They should pass a law to stop them working." "Work makes them look weary." "My mother would look great in this." "What are you waiting for?" "Buy it." "You're right." "I'll buy her the whole shop." "I don't want to see that sad face any more." "I want her to be a lady." "I want everyone to look at Lebanese's mother and see ...how fine she looks." "Hey homo!" "I'll take those and this." " What's wrong?" "Not enough?" " That's only for display." "I can order one but you'll have to wait a few days." "OK.." "I'll take all these." "It can be done.." "but my friends want a fix to try it out first." "Is that all?" "It's understandable" "We're talking millions here, not peanuts." " Where are we going?" " Don't worry, we're nearly there." " Well?" " This way, come on." "Do you want to leave already?" "That's not nice." "We've organised a party for you." "For Sorcio, king of the pushers with balls this big!" "Who has the guts to sell his stuff on my patch, hoping to get away with it." "You carry on." "I don't want to soil my hands on this shit." "Well?" "What do you think?" "You didn't choose this." "This is Ranocchia's taste." "I paid for it." "Do you like it?" "Yes, it's pretty" "Then kiss me." " Calm down, I have to hang it up." " You can do that later." "We have to make up for last time." "The dress won't get you a discount." "Who's asking?" "It was a present." "These two have spent a fortune in clothes." "From Magliana to Via Condotti." "A long journey." " What about the tip-off on Freddo?" " Dandi's our man, Canton." "His gang and Lebanese's gang have been hanging around together a lot" "I'd get to the bottom of it." "But if you say Dandi's our man.." "No, really." "What a hunk!" "Who's he?" " Don't tell me he's your boyfriend!" " No, his brother." "Well done Roberta, two for the price of one." " Cut that out." " Then what's he doing here?" "I don't know." "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." "Bye." "What are you doing here?" "I'm on my break." "Do you always take your breaks outside schools?" "No, I'm usually on my own." "Are you busy?" " What do you have in mind?" " The brightest lights in Rome." "You're full of surprises." "Why's that?" "I never thought of you as a property developer." "What do you mean?" "I imagine people who work on building sites to be different, ... more practical and down-to-earth." "But you have the eyes of a dreamer." "You need a dream in order to build things, don't you?" "Yes." "You've surprised me yet again." "No thanks." " Sorry" " That's OK." "This is it then." "Yep." "I enjoyed this afternoon." "So did I." "What's up?" "Now you're surprising me." "Don't you want to?" "Of course I do." "But I can't." "Why not?" "For a lot of reasons" "..and there's one I don't even have to explain." "OK, thanks anyway." "We're closed!" "You are now." " What do you want?" " You know who I am?" "Perhaps." "What about it?" "I'm asking you not to say anything to Roberta." "I think she should be told who you are..." " ...and how you make a living." " I don't like killing people." "...unless I have to." "Freddo, please." "Don't get her into trouble." "Roberta's a decent girl." "I know that." "So you start by not getting into trouble." "Keep your mouth shut." "This is for the time I've had to waste on you." "Hey Sorcio!" "Sorcio!" "Have you fallen sleep just when we're at the best bit?" "Remember these words, Sorcio." "Repeat them to Lebanese word for word." " Is that enough for you?" " What luck!" "You mean what class." "Reckon it's luck eh?" "Let me see the pack." "Think I'm cheating?" "I might, seeing how you're so uptight." "Come on it's only a game!" "Sit down." " Isn't Sorcio back yet?" " What was he doing?" "An errand." "Cut that out!" "Deal the cards." " Lebanese?" " It's me." "I've got a present for you in the alley near the bar." "Christ!" "Dandi, get the car!" "Quickly, get the fucking car!" "Maurizio, Maurizio!" " What have they done to you?" " Come on give me a hand." "Help me stand him up." " What's going on?" " It's my nephew." "Don't worry we'll take him to the hospital." "Yes?" "Canton." "Where?" "I'm on my way." "If I find out who did it..." "It was Terribile." " What's he got to do with Sorcio?" " We sent him to steal his patch." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Sardo, you shouldn't even ask that question." "You're a snake, and it'll take some time before we trust you again." "And it's no use talking about it." "That's right." "I want to go and take that bastard out." "We can all go, right?" "Lebanese, it's time you got your own back on that asshole." "No." "We have to wait." "We can't afford to start a war with him just yet." "He's right, we're not strong enough yet." "The Mafia is behind him." "Well?" "What do we do?" "There's only one thing we can do." " Come to some agreement." " An agreement?" "But we'll need Puma's help." "Good morning Sorcio." "Who are you?" "Commissioner Scialoja." "I can't afford to waste time." "I know who your friends are." "Freddo, Lebanese, Dandi." "A nice bunch of mates." "It's their fault that you're in this mess isn't it?" "I need to dress his wounds." "Well?" "She needs to dress my wounds." "You'll have to wait outside." "We'll finish this later." " Thanks doctor." " I'm only a nurse." "Whatever." "Fine by me." "I see you're making a speedy recovery." "Got a light?" "Thanks." "Don't mention it." " Here he is!" " Sorcio!" " Can we come in?" " What's the kid got to say?" "Are we sure it's him?" "The scratches suit you." "They make you look more masculine." "I can get them to give you some." "Fuck you!" "Sorcio, how are you feeling?" "Lebanese, I need to talk to you." "Let's go for a stroll." "This is for that kilo of heroin." " Not going to count it?" " I trust you." " What about that offer I made you?" " I trust you less about that." "I don't want to end up in the middle of a war." "I want out." "We only want you to arrange a meeting with Terribile." "Then what will happen?" "We'll make a deal and have a few laughs." "I don't find it at all funny." "But why?" "Why are they being such assholes?" "Open these beers and I'll explain it to you." "Old business." "Lebanese was just a kid." "Fresh out of nappies and already a bully." "They've just come out." "Sorcio with Lebanese and Dandi." "Here, have a drag." "Where are they going?" "They're in the toilets." "Scrocchiazeppi's on the door." "Sorry." "I should never have sent you on your own." "That's the risk of the job." "And you do your job well." "Get well soon, we need you." "It's a safe place, they're talking about private business." "What did you want to tell me?" " Terribile told me something." " What?" "First he fucked your girlfriend, now he's fucking your gang." " How can you smoke this shit?" " Because I'm a man." "Women aren't meant to smoke." "No?" "What are we meant to do then?" "Lots of things." "This car is awesome." "Where did you get it from?" "From outside my home." "What the fuck!" "It's not over yet, it's my brother's turn." "Stick it in your mouth!" "See what happens when you do stupid things?" "Your friend will remember this day for the rest of her life." "You shit!" "Let me go!" "Good girl." "Now you'll remember it too." "I'll kill you!" "I swear I will kill you, you shit!" "Come here!" "Come here!" "Come on, show me what you're capable of!" "Where is it?" "When did you get back?" " Where have you been?" " Be quiet, Ma!" "What's that?" "What are you going to do with that?" "I'm not doing anything with it Mum." " Where are you going?" " Leave me along, Mum." " Don't get into trouble." " Get your hands off me!" "I'm not sure whether it's because I like sunsets, or whether I like the city stained red." "Those are dangerous words, Terribile." "Coming to some agreement with Lebanese and those other beggars ... is not something I give a fuck about; they're just kids." "They were kids, they've grown up, ...and they have Sardo on their side." " You do know that?" " Yes." "Then you know who they're working for?" "Camorra bosses." "If you hit out at Lebanese, you hit out at Sardo." "And if you hit out at Sardo, you're asking for trouble." "OK Puma." "I see." "The ruins at Ostia, tomorrow at dawn." "A duel at dawn?" "Terribile's seen too many westerns." "Well?" "We'll go." "But just me, you and Dandi." "Three against three." "It's an official duel then." "Shell we take gun belts?" "This is enough for me." "What have you got in mind?" "Nothing Freddo, don't worry." "I just want a friendly chat." "Freddo." "Your brother's outside." "He wants to talk to you." "Gigio, what's up?" "I don't even know." " Roberta dumped me." " What?" "She says she wants time to herself" ".. that she's too busy." "The usual crap." "Do you think she's found someone else?" "Don't be silly, If she hasn't time for you, she hasn't time for anyone." "Freddo, let's get ready!" "I have to go." "Don't worry." "I'm sorry I bothered you." " ...but I didn't know who to talk to." " You did the right thing." "Go home." "We'll talk as soon as I have a minute." "And don't look like that." "It will get sorted." "What are you doing here?" "Is that all you've discovered?" "You're not much of a cop." "I've discovered that you don't have much time to save yourself." "They're about to start a war, and you'll be caught up in it." "Is that why you came?" "Don't worry commissioner." "They fight wars without victims." "There are no such wars." "They start one every month here," ".. and they all end in a handshake." "But thanks for coming to save me." "Long time no see." "How's your friend?" "What's his name?" "Sorcio?" "I'm here to do business not to talk." "Let's do business then." " What's on the table?" " A deal, to avoid trouble." "Meaning?" "You keep Centocelle." "That's hardly a deal." "Centocelle is already mine." "You've taken all of Rome and left me the crumbs." "Am I supposed to thank you?" "Lebanese" "Terrible, come on." "We won't solve anything like this." "Why don't you make us a proposal instead?" "I'll make you a proposal." " I want a piece of the action - 10 percent." "30 percent on the next delivery." "25 percent after that." "Plus Centocelle, which is already mine." "It's a deal." "We always seal deals with a handshake, Lebanese." "Well?" "When we're stronger, we send him to feed the maggots." "You can be sure of that." " Let's go and celebrate." " Dandi, there's nothing to celebrate." "What's this?" "Sorry, I woke you?" "Don't worry." "I didn't sleep after you left like that." "Sorry." "I was an asshole." " That's why I bought you a present." " This?" "Yes." "How much did it cost?" "Where did you get the money?" "What does it matter?" "As long as you're happy." "A son who gets into trouble will never make me happy." "I won't end up in trouble, or in the shit like my father." "Don't talk about him like that!" "Get your things and go!" "I'd rather not see you than see you get killed." "Any you will be." "Yes, yes." " I need to talk to you sir." " Not now." "You were saying?" " Are you crazy?" " Put me back on the Rosellini case." "Get out of my office!" "Listen!" "The kidnap is only the tip of an iceberg." "If you don't get out..." "Let me finish!" "Two gangs of losers get together to kidnap the baron" "..and make money." "But they don't spend, they invest it with one aim" ".. to sell drugs all over Rome." "It's not easy ...not with Terribile around, but they don't declare war." "They only threaten to." "Instead, they make a deal" "And the result?" "The biggest criminal gang Rome has ever seen." "I shouldn't have given you the case." "No, please, listen to me." "Listen to what?" "Your fantasies!" "Don't you see what's happening?" "That was the Interior Ministry on the phone." "Do you know why?" "The Hon. Moro has been kidnapped ...and his escort all killed." "Now go back to your icebergs, I have more important things to attend to." "You know the way out." "Good morning." "Brioche and cappuccino today too?" "What's this about ditching my brother?" "I didn't want to mislead him." "He's not the one I like." "Roberta, I've told you before." "It wouldn't work out between us." "Why not?" "Tell me why." ""SPECIAL EDITION."" ""Thursday 16th March"."
