"Amurin, grace us with your presence!" "Amurin Only you know how to love us." "My soul is devoted to you." "Come, my loving master..." "Your pain is my pleasure!" "More...more...!" "Come to me..." "I want you now!" "Take me!" "..." "I'm yours." "Amurin, come here." "I command you to come immediately!" "Now Amurin..." "Now." "Show yourself to me." "Show yourself!" "'The Cross with 7 Stones'" "Marco?" "Ciao." "You're Marco, right?" "Yes." "You must be Carmela?" "Yes, it's me." "Your dear cousin Carmela." "It's been a few years since we last met." "...How are you?" "...Right, since we were children." "But...you're different to how I imagined you." "Have I grown up a lot?" "Well, I couldn't do anything else!" "Well, what I mean to say is, you've grown into a beautiful lady." "There's a bar over there." "Let's have some breakfast." "I guess we just drifted apart." "And then, when mother died I went off to college." "If you hadn't written to me we wouldn't have met up like this." "It always happens like that with family..." "Who knows why?" "When an elder dies, the rest seem to go their own way." "A fruit juice and a croissant." "And for you Carmela?" "A cappuccino, black, without sugar." "If you don't mind, I need to make a call." "Sure, go on." "It's always busy." "Don't worry, keep trying." "I'm sorry Marco, but we've got to walk for while..." "I had to park at the other end of the road." "It's too busy here." "Yeah, Rome can be very chaotic." "Right!" "Tell me about yourself?" "It's usual stuff; home, work..." "Listen, are you engaged?" "I could get married." "Please help me." "We've been robbed!" "Ah!" "Forget about it." "What happened?" "We were robbed." "These things happen all the time, it's normal around here." "Marco, tell me?" "I have to call the police!" "The police?" "No, it's not worth it." "Stop!" "It's useless, they can't do anything." "What happened?" "We were robbed, they escaped that way." "Where did it happen?" "I'll explain." "I was here..." "This is a case for you guys." "Could you identify them again?" "Of course I could!" "There were more than 2 of them." "When they sped past I saw them all clearly, and their bikes." "In that case, get in." "Come on Carmela, you saw them as well." "No, I beg of you." "I'm scared and I don't want to go along." "It's better she doesn't come." "Okay, wait for me here." "Let's go." "Let's not waste time." "I'd prefer to wait at home?" "As you wish, but be careful." "We shouldn't keep too much distance from these crimes because usually, these criminals have people protecting them in all circles..." "There were two young guys acting as accomplices to the others..." "One had a moustache, I think." "The license plate started with the number '27', at least that's what I remember..." "If I saw them again I'm confident I could recognise them again." "All day spent looking for these bastards." "Turn left here..." "No wait, further up." "I hope we can find them." "Go over there." "Turn here?" "No!" "The other one." "Let's go into that petrol station." "There they are...it's them!" "Stop!" "Don't move." "Put your hands on the wall and stand still." "Please don't shoot!" "You're mistaken Captain!" "Yes, yes." "It's them." "They are the ones who escaped on the bike." "What is he saying, Captain?" "I haven't done anything, I promise you." "Yes, it's definetely them." "Where is the cross you stole from me?" "Tell me!" "Cross?" "What cross?" "That's what I want to know." "I'm curious to know how you got ahold of all these expensive items?" "I recognise you clearly, what have you done with it?" "He's crazy!" "Innocent, eh?" "I found this in your jacket It's 'drugs'." "It's not mine, this is my brothers jacket." "I found it hanging up." "We're innocent!" "Yeah, right...the usual story." "For now, just follow us." "Get in." "I just hope those two idiots don't talk." "Excuse me, I've got to see my cousin." "Which one?" "Zingabo (?" ") Sindaco (?" ")" "...Yes." "What do you want?" "Excuse me, are you a friend of Carmella's?" "Actually, I am Carmella." "But please, come in." "Who are you?" "I don't recognise you." "You're Carmella?" "...!" "I'm Marco, your cousin." "I sent you a letter last month..." "Ah!" "So you are Marco?" "Yes." "What letter are you talking about, I haven't received any?" "Strange!" "You've been promising to see me for ages..." "How come you don't recognise me?" "That's my bag!" "My friend Elena left it here." "It's definetely my bag!" "Yes, it's mine allright." "I don't understand what Elena was doing at the station?" "By the way, a woman brought this jacket here..." "Maybe a work-friend of yours?" "As for why Elena came to see you, the fault is mine..." "I've told her so much about you." "That you are single, living in Rome That you were timid and good looking." "You know how it is?" "You're the only relative I have Because I talked so much about you, maybe she got curious and wanted to joke around with me." "Yes...a joke?" "Where does Elena come from?" "She left very quickly." "Why?" "Whats happened?" "Do you know where I can find her?" "Yes, I've got her number." "Okay...okay, I'll go and get it for you." "Here we are..." "Good Evening." "Good Evening, I'm looking for someone maybe you can help me?" "I'll do anything you want." "I'm looking for someone called Elena." "Elena!" "I've never heard of her I'm sorry." "Let's go." "Please, sit down." "All alone?" "Can I keep you company?" "Please." "A whiskey, please." "And for you, Sir?" "The same." "Want one?" "No, thanks." "To you." "You're certainly strange." "You don't smoke, don't drink Looking for some fun?" "Or maybe you need something else?" "Do you like marijuana?" "Well, do you want some grass?" "It's good stuff." "I really don't know why you came to a place like this?" "I'm looking for a woman called Elena." "Do you know her?" "If you're looking for Elena, there's a man over here who can help." "Listen, if you are who I think you are, be careful!" "These people don't mess around." "Well, young man..." "I'm sure you're both reasonable and collaborative." "What do you want from me?" "You see, I don't have any informers in your gang so you have to give us a hand." "I don't understand how I can help you?" "Nothing special, I want your client lists from $1000 and up." "That's it." "Just a list of your best customers." "To do what with?" "How much do you want to know?" "We are good people." "Give us the names and we'll do the rest." "..You'll get your percentage." "You've got it all wrong, I'm not who you are looking for!" "I came here looking for Elena because someone here stole my cross!" "It's very important to me." "In that case it's all resolved." "We'll get you your cross and you'll give us the list." "All done!" "No!" "I won't sell out others at any cost." "Understood?" "Okay, do him!" "Don't get upset." "My collaborators can be a little bad mannered." "My God!" "What happened?" "What did they do to you?" "Don't move too much." "We need to get away." "I'll explain later, let's go." "Quick, hurry." "I'm sorry if this hurts." "Why are you doing this for me?" "I don't know maybe because in all this mess you're the first decent person I've met." "They are really bad people, and you seemed so fragile." "Thanks, you're a great person, but if you really want to help me tell me the name of the local antiques dealer." "They may have what I'm looking for, ...or maybe some help." "Why do you need an antiques dealer?" "It's too much to explain now..." "Please, tell me his name and where he lives." "No it could be dangerous." "It's a matter of life and death!" "I beg you, it's important to me." "Okay then...wait here." "Open up!" "Open up, I beg you!" "It's urgent, open up!" "Can't you see we're closed?" "Disturbing an honest person at this hour!" "I told you it was urgent!" "I'll call the police!" "What the fuck do you want?" "Where is the cross you received today?" "... ...I can pay you well." "A cross?" "Yes!" "I said a cross!" "A cross with several stones..." "I said I'll pay you whatever you want!" "Please!" "I don't have much time." "Okay...okay...calm yourself." "You'll give me a heart attack." "Please, have a look." "I said a cross with stones." "It's not there!" "With seven stones?" "Yes!" "I'm sorry, I've already sold it." "Who did you sell it to?" "Ah!" "No, I can't tell you that it's a trade rule." "Tell me, and this is all yours." "Just be quick!" "Come on!" "...." "The name?" "Don Raffaelle Esposito, off Vesuvius Way." "Don Raffaelle..." "Marco." "What have they done to you?" "Come on..." "M....m....mother!" "Don Raffaelle Esposito." "Mother...mother." "Don Raffaelle..." "Esposito." "Don Raffaelle Esposito..." "Good Morning, did you sleep well?" "Hey, it's time to eat something." "What happened to you last night?" "You came back in such a state." "Why?" "What did I do?" "You were in a state of shock." "You kept repeating a name..." "What name?" "Don Raffealle Esposito." "Does this name mean anything to you?" "He's a local mafia boss, everyone knows him." "You aren't mixed up with him are you?" "No, I've got nothing to do with him." "But I must find him!" "You're crazy." "He's got my cross." "And for that cross you want to die?" "What's so important about it?" "Maybe one day I'll explain." "One day?" "Then I can come with you...?" "Well yes, why not?" "But you must promise to help me, and not ask me too many questions." "Look how he's overtaking!" "Leave him be." "Look how beautiful the castle is." "Tell me Maria, you'd leave everything behind?" "You're work, the dogs to follow me, a complete stranger?" "I'm not leaving anything behind." "My folks are dead, they were killed." "And so I ended up here playing a game I really don't like." "I want to get away from here." "Who killed your parents?" "Someone who upset my father." "Meeting you, I realise that I am in love with you." "Maybe in helping you I can help myself." "But they might come after you?" "I'm not scared if I'm with you I always dreamed I'd meet someone like you." "You think so?" "Yes, I'm happy I met you." "Wait for me here, Maria." "Don't leave for any reason." "Remember, you promised to obey me." "What if something happens to you?" "Don't worry about me." "Marco..." "Yes, Maria?" "What if I need help?" "You must stay outside, understood?" "Look after my things." "Excuse me, can you please tell me where I can find Don." "Raffaelle Esposito?" "Wait a moment, I'll find out." "We'll take care of it now." "Sir, please be patient, I'll have a reply soon." "Are you looking for Don Raffaelle Esposito?" "I'm here to help you." "Yes, it's me." "Get in then." "Please." "Don Raffaelle, we got him, but he didn't have anything on him All we found was a pen and a tissue." "Bring him here." "Welcome." "I hope this fine young man has something very useful to communicate to me?" "Speak." "Excuse me, I didn't want to disturb you, but it's something close to my heart That's why I am here." "Who are you?" "And what can I do for you?" "My name is Marco Sazzolli and I think you can help me Yesterday, someone stole a cross from me I assure you, it's not the material value of the cross that interests me For me it has sentimental value." "Believe me, it's very important." "I'm sure you came here for something very important." "But you came here for another reason right?" "No!" "Did you come alone?" "I assure you, he was alone." "Please, sit down." "I'll get you some tea." "We can talk about your problem." "A pen and a tissue." "Cuff him." "Why are you behaving like this?" "I didn't come here for any other reason." "Where do I fit in to this?" "My wife makes me sick." "There's always like that..." "I'll kill her!" "Let's go and see Maradonna play, okay." "Someone from Rome has arrived here." "and I wouldn't want... (?" ")" "Don't call me for these stupid reasons!" "Your honour, we have him locked up." "He came here with just a pen and a tissue..." "Don't you think it's strange?" "Your honour, we understand." "We all got cheated." "Maybe they know everything now?" "Remain calm!" "Don't call me in Rome again, clear?" "Your honour...hello?" "...hello?" "Good Morning, Captain." "Morning." "I'm used to dealing with facts." "Please don't talk about things that don't exist." "Doctor, you may not believe in magic but it's an apocalypse in here!" "Have you discovered anything?" "What are they?" "These are the results of the analysis..." "I didn't find anything interesting, but there is something strange We found animal hair in the victims nails." "But I don't know which animal." "They're looking for a cross!" "What is this cross?" "It must be important for him." "I think he's a secret agent." "Don Raffaelle just called a judge in Rome..." "Who sent you?" "Why are you here?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Do you want to talk, or do we have to kill you?" "Are you working for the General in Palermo?" "No!" "Are you investigating the murder of the city prefect?" "No." "Ah, Then you're investigating the drugs traffic to America?" "I don't know anything." "Do you want to talk?" "Yes or no?" "Don Raffaelle, two men have arrived from Sicily." "What are you waiting for?" "Let them in, quick!" "The judge sent us personally to find out who this fool is." "You've been interrogating him, I see." "We've been here a while, but he's not speaking." "He's a tough one." "Then we haven't missed anything." "Hey fool, they say you're tough?" "Let's see if he wants to annoy us as well." "Get to work on him." "With this medicine he'll loosen his tongue and his memory." "Who are you?" "Where do you come from?" "My name is Marco..." "My name is Marco Sartolli, I come from Rome." "Why have you come here?" "To get my cross." "He's talking about a cross?" "Do you know anything Don." "Raffaelle?" "Maybe he means the cross I got from the dealer earlier?" "Is this the same Antiques dealer who was found dead yesterday?" "My friend in the police force told me about it earlier." "A cross with seven stones?" "You dirty scumbag!" "Tell your men to get out of here." "We need to talk!" "Get out...get out!" "You had the cross all along." "Why am I wasting my precious time here?" "Bring it here!" "I..." "I...didn't realise." "I gave it to my dear friend but she's gone to Rome." "Raffaelle, you're making too many mistakes." "The organisation is getting real sick of you." "Listen up, we've been here all night and he's still not talking!" "It's not so easy to call Rome at this hour." "It's a warzone out here!" "What shall we do?" "Something bad has happened, right?" "What happened, Maria?" "Nothing!" "...nothing, my love!" "Maria, what did you see?" "Tell me!" "Please, let's just get away from here!" "Help!" "..." "Help!" "Finally, you've arrived!" "I called you two hours ago!" "Well then, what is it that's so urgent?" "Someone stole your chocolate?" "Captain, come please." "The devil!" "The devil...!" "It looks like we won't be needing an ambulance!" "My love, at long last!" "Yes!" "Like that!" "You are mine!" "You are mine!" "You've finally arrived." "Here I am, I am all yours!" "Do what you want to me!" "Then that cross is really important to you?" "That's my secret past." "Why that cross in particular?" "The cross with 7 stones may have belonged to a Catholic bishop who became a saint." "But I still don't know how my mother ended up with it." "Marco, did your mother practice black magic?" "This is why I have been looking for a cure for this evil curse." "When she realised what it was, it was already too late." "I won't serve you anymore!" "You want to be free of me?" "Then you must die!" "Let's see..." "As soon as the tariffs go up," "I discover more, it's apparent that the banks are behind them." "But for what reason?" "We need to know who is behind all of this." "Captain the more we find out, the more dangerous it gets." "You see, even the banks don't want to help us." "I can believe it, but, slowly but surely..." "Here it is!" "It must be her." "An expert in the occult." "Let me see." "We hope!" "Wait!" "Let me come with you." "I'll die of worry waiting here for you." "No, Maria." "You know how dangerous it is," "I suggest you wait in a hotel somewhere and lock the door!" "If I find what I'm looking for before midnight, I'll come to you." "Then this nightmare will be over." "I don't like to do this, but you mean too much to me." "You promised we'd always be together." "I'll do whatever you want." "Then at least let me stay here." "I won't open the door to anyone." "...unless i hear your voice." "Well, okay then." "I love you so much, Marco." "Why does God punish you for something you didn't do?" "I love you so much as well." "In Don." "Raffaelle's home we found similar marks to those at the antique dealers shop." "Animal fur, blood and other strange things." "Maybe someone is trying to confuse us?" "Sometimes these people are just killing each other." "But that gardener said he saw a monster?" "and a guy from Rome who vanished." "The devil and a ghost from Rome!" "They're just taking us for a ride, that's all." "However, that gardener was a soldier, and he's given us a heck of a lot of names." "Once I can prove all of this, the District Attorney has given me..." "Captain!" "If that's right then all of Italy will be hearing about this by tomorrow!" "Excuse me Captain but the call you've been wating on came through It's the Prime Minister." "Very well, thanks." "May I?" "Please." "Please sit down." "Thanks." "You wanted to speak to me?" "Yes, thanks for giving me your time..." "I wanted to discuss a private matter." "Tell me, tell me." "You aware of what's happening in Naples?" "I've no time to read the papers, I'm busy." "There was a massacre in one of our headquarters." "And you came all the way here to tell me this?" "Apart from being a cover for our rackets, that house was also hiding some terrorists who were planning an assassination." "We also found some interesting documents including this little notebook." "As you can see, your name, address and contact numbers are all in there." "You're so surprised by this?" "Don't worry about it, there's lots of people who want to implicate a good man like me." "Especially those who would sacrifice themselves for Italy." "Let me give you some advice." "You are still young leave it be, you still have a career ahead of you." "Now, if you'll permit me, the Senate is waiting for me." "See you around." "Hey, can you tell me...?" "40,000 and we can go back to mine." "Let me show you." "At the crossroads, take the first right, then a left and you're there." "Thank you." "Hey. who are you staring at?" "Sorry, I was looking for someone." "Oh, yeah?" "Who were you looking for?" "I'm looking for Lady Armesia, the neighbour." "That whore!" "If she's a Lady then I'm the Virgin Mary!" "She's not here, quick go back and take the first left on the right." "So this mystery guy from Rome really does exist then?" "Continue, Commissioner..." "Well, aren't you coming in?" "Come on, I won't eat you!" "Make yourself at home." "So, do we want to know the future of this handsome young man?" "Maybe it's your lovers who you are most interested in?" "Yes, i can feel it, I can feel it!" "Would you prefer the cards?" "Or would you like to try with this pendulum?" "It's not expensive." "I come from Naples." "From Naples!" "I didn't know people had heard of me down there!" "Those Neapolitans are fabulous!" "So full of enthusiasm and mystery!" "Give me you hand." "What an interesting hand, who knows what great things it can do?" "I come on behalf of Don." "Raffealle Esposito, You must return the cross he gave you." "That dirty bastard!" "First he gives me it as a gift and then he takes it away!" "Damned Neapolitans!" "I wish an earthquake would destroy that city one day!" "I understand your disappointment, I do." "But this is important, it could be an international political scandal." "Politics?" "Yes." "Well, if that's the case, then I agree." "Yes..." "I agree." "A person can't just say 'No' to Don." "Raffaelle Esposito." "However, we must wait..." "My God!" "Marco is in trouble!" "Seeing as we have to wait..." "We can pass the time in a pleasurable way." "It's always engaged!" "Dear Lord, help me please, I beg you." "Why are you waiting?" "Come on!" "Yes!" "...Why don't you continue?" "What's happening?" "God!" "Help me!" "It was just an illusion." "Marco...it's me!" "Poor girl, she's dead." "She was coming right at me!" "What's happening?" "Let's get out of here!" "My God!" "Help me!" "Subtitled by:" "Bertie Buncle and his Chemical Uncle." "For Cinemageddon, March 04.2008."
