03x01 - Jubilee

[bunniefuu]

[bittersweet music plays]

- [woman] Don't tell me you're sleepy.
- [boy] A little.

That'll pass.

And you'll be wide awake.

Get on up there.

Come on!

Nothing to fear.

[grunts]

There, not so difficult.

Alright Valerio, turn your eyes
to where you're going.

Show it who's the boss.

[bittersweet music continues]

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[horse neighs]

Isn't it too old to ride?

No, no, it's like me.

I've brought you the kid.

[Samurai] Romolo's son has grown up.

We gotta get started.

[mysterious music plays]

[exhales]

[birds chirping]

Keep your eyes closed.

Alright.

Now open.

Do you like it?

Manfredi will be pissed when he finds out.

[laughs] Who the f*ck cares?

Now he's got that nice studio.

We're the bosses here now.

And here…

is where the little prince will sleep.

What are you thinking about?

Lele.

Cinaglia, Samurai,
all the sh*t we're dealing with.

[Nadia] One problem at a time.
Today we fix things with the gypsies.

Business is good,
we can't mess up this deal.

Together we can do anything.

[cold electronic music playing]

- Turned out well, don't you think?
- It's perfect.

Cesare.

One day you'll be king too.

Alberto.

I'm happy that you're happy.

But last night you were so restless.

What were you dreaming?

Lele.

He was speaking all the time, but…

I couldn't hear his voice.

But I know what he wanted to say to me.

I've got to avenge him.

And to do that, I need this alliance.

And Aureliano.

[exhales]

[in Sinti] House arrest?

Is that what Samurai said?

Yes.

Samurai will use one of his politicians
and get to the probation officer.

Huh.

Samurai is good at this dirty business.

- Hey lawyer, has he spoken to you?
- Yes.

What does he want in return?

He never does anything for free.

He wants you back in the family.

He controls Ostia.

They have already started
construction work on the port.

It's big business.

He wants Aureliano Adami
and Spadino out.

- And so?
- So...

Hey, my mother's speaking!

Don't interrupt her.

So, you come home and retake your place.

And put Spadino back in his place.

This is really good news, mom.

The best news I've heard
since I've been inside.

The ring, mom.

["Il Ritorno" by Gel plays]

Who told you to get out of the car?

- I wanted to smoke a cig.
- Hm.

So you just get here and you think
you can do what you want?

Don't make me regret I called you
or it's back to Abruzzo.

[music continues]

Sit. What can I order for you?

Nothing, thanks.

- Sara.
- Hi, Amedeo.

Well, then let me know
the details on your side.

- [Cinaglia] Are you not staying?
- [Badali] No. Sara's leaving us.

Unfortunately, we're stuck with you,
Cinaglia.

[laughs]

I'll call you.

[sniffs]

Beautiful, huh?

So, these plots of land.

Rome is difficult.

You can't hurry things there.

- In the long run, it gives you everything.
- Authorizations, companies, concessions.

It's all in place.
Construction at the port has started.

My father is content too, but he says
there is another opportunity.

Seems so, according to a trusted
inside source of mine.

Investment?

More like withdrawal.

The church has a huge Jubilee
in the works.

A grand moment of spirituality.

Promoted by His Eminence Cardinal Nascari.

And the angle?

The Jubilee goes all year.

The Vatican holds hundreds of events,
blessings, celebrations, rallies.

Countless thousands of believers
coming from all over the world.

The country pays.
The towns allocate the money.

It's a one-time event,
there's no bidding.

Contractees are pre-determined.

- For us to distribute a river of capital.
- [Badali] What do we need?

- Shell companies? Consortium?
- The usual ghost accounts.

Today I'll speak to Sibilla.

I've been doing this with her
for years.

In the meantime,
Cinaglia will handle Cardinal Nascari.

[exhales]

So, is Nadia going to be here?

Yes, but just relax.

We're all friends here.

You told us everything would go smoothly.

You guaranteed it.

- You've gotten your money...
- It's not the money.

- One of our men got k*lled.
- That was one douchebag's doing.

A douchebag who still hasn't paid.

She has a point there.

What do you want to do?

We can't go back in time.

You have to make this right.

If you don't, then I say
we have to discuss our deal again.

What do you say?

Alberto agrees with what I've told you.

What are our options?

Alright, I'll tell you what I think.

Everything's working
so we're not changing the deal.

This shouldn't have happened,
but Nadia was not involved.

You agree?

Yeah, she's not involved.

I'll take care of Flavio.

What about Cinaglia and Samurai?

Lele's m*rder has to cost
those assholes something.

We can save that for later.

You better take care of your friend first.

Bye, Spadino.

[ominous music plays]

SIBILLA MANCINI TAX CONSULTANT

[Sibilla] How did it go?

Not bad.

What's important is to figure out
how the money goes to us.

We should take a lot
since I'm bringing the business.

The information,
the contact at the Vatican…

Who are you sending to Nascari?

[Samurai] Cinaglia.

More official that way. It'll be fine.

Aren't those cigarettes
bad for your health?

Yeah.

So what?

[scoffs]

- Do you have the list?
- Yeah, all done.

All the names are clean.

Pensioners and retired teachers.

We can register anything you want
in their names.

[Samurai] Good. Get the paperwork ready.

Still need to find new contractors.

The ones proposed by Badali
are unacceptable.

So, same as always.

Same as always, Sibilla.

Do what you do.

[Sibilla] Valerio.

Yes?

Business still as much fun for you
as when we first started?

Yeah.

Bye, Valerio.

Bye, Sibilla.

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Shh!

Wait here.

Any of you seen Flavio?

[man] Haven't seen him.

[man ] No, man, nor me.

- Have you seen him?
- No, Aureliano.

Give me your phone.

Come on.

[phone rings]

- [Flavio] Francesco.
- It's Aureliano.

Meet me at the Idroscalo in two hours.

Find him?

[Aureliano] Yes.

[brooding music plays]

[Cinaglia] Morning, Your Eminence.

I wanted to pay you an informal visit to
congratulate you on your upcoming project.

Rome City Hall is, of course,
always at your disposal.

How can I be of assistance?

Thank you so much for your offer.
I doubt your assistance will be needed.

The Jubilee is to be held in Africa.

Is that so?

That means here in Rome we will be hosting
only the opening and closing ceremonies

of the entire Holy Year.

Might be a bit too revolutionary idea
for the people, do you think?

- Why not hold it in Rome?
- Here, there are too many scandals.

Do you know the words
of Saint Mark in Chapter ?

"And if thine eye offend thee,

pluck it out."

And the Pope, what does he say?

Safe to say that he will agree entirely.

Rome deserves more
than a Jubilee in foreign land.

It certainly doesn't deserve
people like you. You know why?

No.

I'm curious, so tell me.

Because when I'm listening to you,

I hear the voice of Samurai.

[door opens]

[Aureliano] What's up?

I'm here a bit early, sorry.

Weren't we supposed to meet
at the Idroscalo?

I'll take this one.

Put it where Dad used to keep it.

And mine too.

So nobody gets hurt.

Let's go in there. Come on.

[groans]

I've eaten so many chips on this couch.

Huh?

Only you though,
'cause Dad wouldn't let me eat them.

Yeah, I wasn't his kid.

Sadly.

Grab me something to drink.

Yeah.

[tense music plays]

- Water is fine!
- Okay.

Is orangeade okay?

Yeah, that's fine. Thanks.

Sit down.

Your pop, he raised me, you know that?

He taught me everything I know.

He taught me how to earn respect,
how to punch people in the face.

Plus he taught me to take care
of the people around me.

[Aureliano scoffs]

Stop being an assh*le.

- What do you want from me?
- To stop being an assh*le.

I need you with me.

Because I don't trust anyone.

No one.

[tense music grows louder]

What?

Aureliano, I messed up.

I messed up. We've got to go.

They're coming.

- Samurai told me to let him know if...
- [phone rings]

Quiet!

Nadia!

Guys with g*ns rolled up. What do I do?

Stay where you are.

- Let's go out the back...
- Get the g*ns and hurry up.

[door rattles]

[grunt]

[glass shatters]

[Aureliano chokes]

[grunts]

[g*nsh*t]

[Aureliano pants]

Gimme the piece.

All good. Let's go. Keep your eyes open.

[tense music continues]

- Let's go! Let's go!
- [g*nshots]

[Nadia] Come on!

Come on!

Flavio, come on.

[Flavio groans]
- [Aureliano] Let's go!

Gimme the piece, Flavio. Come on.

How bad is it?

- [Flavio] Nothing serious.
- Hold it tight.

- What happened?
- Later. Just drive.

[Samurai] Did he seem sincere
or was he bluffing?

Sincere.

That guy's hard to figure.

With his guard up,
there's no way to get to him.

You're mistaken.

Everyone has secrets, especially priests.

I've found something out about Nascari.

But I still need more information.

The Pope hasn't approved anything yet,

so we still have a chance
of keeping everything in Rome.

Well, a chance isn't good enough.

Alright. I'll wait to hear from you.

We're not done here.

You've been a committed politician.

Now that you're a big sh*t,
you want to leave this to chance?

What do you want?

There is a priest…

he was on a mission with him.

His name is Don Fabrizio.

He's got something on Nascari.

Do whatever will work,
but get that guy to squeal.

All right.

You're the only politician I'd have
dinner with if it wasn't about business.

[chuckles]

Where are we going?

Stop at that last house.

Aureliano, I'm sorry.

- I didn't think it was going to...
- Shut up.

There's a doctor here.

Tell him I sent you to get stitched up.

Then come to my place.

Now we're even, huh?

Go.

[gentle music playing]

[phone rings]

Tell me.

Everything went to sh*t.

Aureliano managed to escape.
He knew we were coming for him.

And Flavio?

He escaped with him too, the fucker.

This is the living room.

Have any idea how big
the entire apartment is?

Over , square feet.

Almost three times our other one.

Home gym.

Stereo system
with all your favorite operas.

- Is that a sauna?
- Yes. Do you like it?

The fireplace works. We checked it out.

This is a th century building.

It was once the home of a cardinal
who later became the Pope.

We've come a long way together.

What do you think?

Shall we break it in?
Like we did with the other one?

Do you remember?

Alice!

What did you do to get this apartment?

[sighs]

They told us they'd take care of Flavio
and they still haven't done it.

- [Aureliano] Talk to me.
- Angelica wanted...

Angelica keeps talking of things
that have nothing to do with this.

Never mind that,
there's another problem here.

This f*cking Samurai
is going to have to go.

I don't trust Cinaglia that much.

What do you want to do about them?

We need both of them.

[gently knocking]

Your Eminence, they are waiting for you.

[church bells ring]

The announcement has been sent
to all the dioceses,

but naturally we have said nothing
to the media yet.

"Jubilee Extraordinaire
for the children of the Lord".

This is the official wording
that the Holy Father has chosen.

Personally, I very much appreciate
this innovative idea of yours.

It's the first time
in the history of the Church.

It's a very courageous way for the Church
to ring in the third millennium.

[priest] Also our congregation
would like to inform you

how grateful everyone is

for the way you've promoted
and endorsed this initiative.

It proves that you have
the direct recognition of His Holiness.

[priest] You must be very proud, Fiorenzo.

I'm indebted to you,
and now if I may ask you..

I'll trust you join me in invoking
Our Lord's blessing upon the Jubilee.

Amen.

Amen.

And with this one move,

His Eminence Nascari

has made clear he wishes to be considered
for the next Pope.

Now we just have to avoid any mistakes.

Everyone will be watching us
carefully now.

- At least in the Christian world.
- The profiteers too.

- Rome is full of them.
- No spoils for them this time.

They are criminals
but we mustn't let that intimidate us.

You are young, but you've got
to learn this straight away.

You know what to do?

Yes, but watch your tone
if we have to work together.

This plan was my idea.

Who cares? We're going to need
both of us to pull it off.

- Okay, no mistakes.
- Give it a rest.

Here we go.

[children laughing]

Watch your head, Vittoria.

Do you want out?

Yeah, I want the slide.

- Go ahead.
- But you're in the way.

There's an even better slide
that I know of.

But it's on the other side.

Will you show me?

Go back through and I'll show you, hm?

Be careful, sweetheart.

Let's go and see what Fabrizio is up to.

[tense music plays]

Fabri!

Fabri, come on!

Wasn't he just in there?

Fabri?

Fabrizio?

Wait.

Vittoria, hang on, stay here, okay?

Fabrizio!

Fabrizio!

Fabrizio!

Wait, love. Stay here, don't move.

Fabrizio!

Have you seen a boy
with blond hair, blue eyes?

No, I'm sorry.

Fabrizio!

[man] Has she lost the kid?

Fabrizio!

Honey?

Vittoria?

Excuse me, have you seen a little girl?

She was here two seconds ago.
Blond hair, blue eyes…

- No, I'm sorry.
- Where could she have gone? Vittoria?

- Fabrizio!
- [Nadia] Ma'am.

Vittoria!

Thank goodness!

Oh my baby!

Thank you! Thank you!

Her little brother is missing too.

He's got blue eyes and curly blond hair.
Have you seen him?

Yes.

Where is he?

He's in a safe place.

Keep quiet and follow me

or lose him forever.

What were you doing at Badali's?

Are you jealous?

[scoffs]

Tell me. What did you want?

Maybe he wanted something from me.

Yeah, like what?

What I deserve.

I'm going to manage
a reception center in Sicily.

It's a very big deal.

It's the biggest complex
in southern Europe.

And I'll be heading the whole operation.

On properties belonging to the Mafia.

I must have learned
something from you after all.

[she exhales]

We've come a long way together, huh, Sara?

- [gasps]
- So now what?

You just go?

Throw it all away?

Throw what away?

Did you think I would settle for being
a great woman behind a great man?

[he scoffs]

I am not like your wife.

[sighs]

And anyway I got everything
I could from this city now.

Rome isn't enough for me anymore.

[inhales]

Maybe if we'd met earlier in my life
this could've ended differently.

- Mama?
- Mama!

Where are you taking us?

Who are these ladies?

These are two friends of mom's.

- And they are taking us to a nice place.
- I don't like it.

It's a nice place and that's not all.

It's secret too.

- Sound better?
- A little.

It's a carnival.

Have you ever ridden bumper cars before?

Well, these go on water.

And how long do we get to ride?

As long as you want.

They're hers.

There's also a slide.

- A good one?
- Mm-hm.

[tense music playing]

How much do these rides cost?

Depends what your husband does.

Associating with known Mafia.

Always charges that are never proven.

We could spit on the ground
and get charged with criminal association.

According to this sh*t,

all crimes committed in Rome
have been carried out by me and my family.

[police officer] Manfredi, relax.

How you doing?

As for you, get outta here!

You can't come here.

[in Sinti] f*ck off.

Piece of sh*t.

Rat.

Come on.

What went wrong with the priest?

The guy was nervous as hell.

He denied it was true.

Says he doesn't even know Nascari.

- Did you make it clear...
- I'm a politician, Samurai.

I'm good at pressuring the unwilling.

There are things I can start, but then…

I have to finish.

Exactly. Yeah.

[pensive music]

Where is this church?

Just ahead.

Nice parish they gave him.

It happens when you know
things you're not supposed to.

Yeah.

- [g*nsh*t]
- [Samurai screams]

[groans]

What did you say?

- [g*nsh*t]
- [groans]

[groans]

[Aureliano] Look at me.

In the end you die just like the rest.

Like a rat.

[weary piano music plays]

[groans]

[sighs]

[exhales]

[g*nsh*t]

We're square now, right?

Now you bring my kids back home?

- We are not square, Cinaglia.
- I did what you asked, I brought Samurai.

Tell me one reason I shouldn't k*ll you.

Just one.

Wait, wait… listen.

Yeah?

There's big new business.

Lots of money, piles of money.

I can send it your way.

I can manage to make it yours in a second.

Look at him.

No more chances with me.

Now move. Load him in the car.

[sighs]

[subtle, solemn music]

[mellow song in Italian playing]
