This little fucker's going to get it! - You can't even open a lock now.

- I will it you get off my back.

Tarzan, it's coming.

Leave it.

- You've lost your touch.

- Lost my touch Come on! Oh, f*ck it! How do we open this? With a bazooka? No, it's a number five, you can do this.

Make way.

Gentlemen, after you.

Let's go and claim the inheritance of the dear departed.

Terribile has twenty or so properties in someone else's name.

I can get them transferred to us.

As long as you leave me this villa.

I'll take the attic apartment in Tor di Nona.

I was born a servant there, .

.

and I want to go back a king.

What shall we give Freddo, who did us the honour? - I don't want anything? - What do you mean? I don't give a damn about Terribile's stuff.

Lebanese, let me show you something.

A basement flat in Trastevere, 1000 square metres on 2 floors.

It'd make a nice gambling club.

A club in the centre of Rome ideal for laundering money.

Nice music, nice people, couples' rooms like in Vegas.

A couple of Patrizia's whores What do you think? Aren't you interested? I didn't k*ll Terribile to end up as a pimp.

It was an execution.

He's riddled with b*ll*ts.

.

.

and to finish him off, this Kn*fe wound straight through the heart.

Lebanese did it, he had a lot of unfinished business with him.

Now we'll have to wait and see how the Gemitos take it.

They may even decide to co-operate.

Bring them in to HQ.

Hold it! Patrizia? Down at the bottom.

You've done a nice job, Ranocchia.

- Where are the girls? - Down at the bottom.

Are the girls up to standard? This way.

What's the hurry? Go inside and find out.

What happened? Did his heart fail? You have to get rid of him.

Who is he? Somebody Trentadenari sent.

I want him gone.

As long as Lebanese doesn't find out.

If this place creates problems, he'll close it.

He's a big guy.

Ranocchia will have to give me a hand.

We know Lebanese did it .

.

but we have no evidence or witnesses .

.

unless you help us nail him.

Nail who? You're too isolated to defend yourselves, or to avenge him Lebanese? Our boss? We run a fish stall at Trionfale market.

We'd like to help you, but Do you know what I think? Lebanese b*at you up .

.

and you sold out Terribile to him.

That's why your're still alive.

But just as he bought you, sooner or later he'll get rid of you.

Because it's easy to do without a couple of traitors like you.

Unless for once you decide to behave like men, and show you're worth something.

- I'd rather live a sheep.

.

- Then get out! Get out! They're working for Lebanese too.

- How can we stop him? - We need to change tactics, - I'm tired of losing.

- But how? A guards's been sh*t during a bank heist ,.

.

in Via Mamiani.

Who the f*ck are you? Put that g*n away, Lebanese.

Zio Carlo invites you to lunch.

You and your friends.

Well? What shall I tell him? Are you sure? He said Zio Carlo? Because Zio Carlo is the Mafia.

And the Mafia hasn't bothered us until now.

That's because we haven't touched a boss like Terribile until now.

I told you it was no use k*lling him but you wouldn't listen.

He'd lost his importance, he was lying low.

For some rats the sewers are never deep enough.

They've only invited us to lunch, right? Exactly! Do you know what Mafia lunches are like? First they fill your bellies.

Then they fill you with lead! Like Al Pacino in "The Godfather II".

Watch out when he goes to the toilet.

The bathroom scene is in the first film.

They might only poison us.

Poison makes for a horrible death.

You go purple, swell up Where did you get to? Around.

Hurry up, we've been invited to lunch.

But we have to dress up well.

- What's that? - An identikit of the robber.

Tall, slim, jacket, black crash helmet.

- The bike? - Green Kawasaki 900.

It might be stolen, It might, and it might not.

I'm not taking any more slaps.

Nice jacket.

You don't need that.

If Zio Carlo had wanted you dead, you'd be gone by now.

Come inside.

Lebanese.

Dandi .

.

and you're Freddo.

Right? They arrived this morning from Mazara: fish from our own seas.

Eat up, they'll go cold.

After you, Zio Carlo.

You.

.

.

.

are bright, dynamic guys.

Terribile was a good boy but he was static.

He didn't like changes.

In our job you have to know how to accept change.

Because only those who know how to adapt will survive.

Therefore we have a proposition for you.

We provide the dr*gs, you find the customers.

What would your cut be? Nothing.

It's a deal between equals.

We sell, you buy.

Any profit is yours.

And we're in Rome now, we're guests.

This is your home.

How much are we talking about? Two kilos of pure Colombian, three times a month, If it works out, we can make it four.

Six kilos a month? The first delivery straight away.

It was intended for Terribile.

It's yours if you want it.

That is, if you have the cash to pay for it.

- Of course we want it.

- The money's not a problem.

Good.

You will deal directly with him from now on? Okay? Eat these f*cking prawns! Do you think they're poisoned? You should have seen them! Shrimps as big as babies! What were they, sharks? You've only ever seen sardines from the River Aniene.

He said "these come from Mazara".

Tell him Freddo.

"we are your guests in Rome.

" - Even the Mafia bows down to us.

- For as long as they need us.

We'll end up like Terribile when they've finished with us.

Freddo, what's wrong with you? Women? Heath problems? You're in a bad mood and I don't understand why.

The police are here.

Soleri? I have a warrant for your arrest.

What have you invented now? Are you his lawyer? He's the only one who can see it.

It's none of your business, for now.

As you wish.

Yes, as I wish, Proietti.

What's this for? Calling my dog back.

- Your dog! - Come on, Soleri.

w*nk*r.

Tell me something.

With all they money you've made, why do you still come to this sh*thole? - m*rder? When? Where? - What evidence do they have? We don't know, we're seeing the prosecutor tomorrow.

Then why have they arrested him? With his record Hurry up and get him out.

I've already made out the draft.

Excuse me.

Yes? What? I'll be right there.

- Excuse me a minute.

- Go ahead.

Where is he going? "Armed robbery" Freddo? What are they thinking of? He's been acting odd lately.

- So? What about it? - Nothing.

Perhaps he wanted to rob a bank on his own.

Not Freddo.

He'd have told me.

He tells me these things.

We have to find out who did it and hurl it in his face.

Hello Freddo.

Have we met? We were in Scrocchiazeppi's g*ng.

We're here to help if you need anything.

Soleri, to the interview room! You can't find out who did it? It's not one of the usual guys.

It must be a lone wolf.

Then do the rounds and find him.

Get out, and don't come back empty handed.

Just get the frames to me by Friday.

I'll call you then, give my regards to your husband.

Here's the money for Zio Carlo.

Lebanese.

Can I have a word? I sent a friend to Patrizia's.

- He's not been seen since.

- Who is this friend? Somebody from my home town.

Caserta.

Is he important? No, he's my cousin's friend.

He wanted to f*ck an Asian girl.

- I'll see to it.

- Thanks.

Take care.

What did Trentadenari want? Nothing, the usual crap.

Green Kawasaki.

Is it yours? - Sort of.

- Where do you keep it? In your garage now.

It used to be mine.

- Where were you at 11am on Monday? - In my garage.

Were you with anyone? Her.

Did anyone see you? - I prefer to be alone.

- You have no alibi.

You have no evidence.

I'll find it, don't worry.

- Can I go back to my cell? - I'll find it.

Nobody saw his face, and nobody wrote down the licence plate.

The judge won't confirm his arrest, What are you trying to do, Scialoja? Play in att*ck; we've never got anywhere in defence.

And they've taken over Rome.

We'll change tactic.

Somebody sh*t in a robbery? We'll check if they were involved.

Whatever happens we go to them first.

Let them feel us breathing down their necks, feel the pressure.

There's always a likely possibility that it was them.

Alright.

Alright.

- Not going to count it? - Nobody would cheat on Zio Carlo.

It's good stuff.

Will you sell it straight away? Refined stuff like this has to wait.

We turn off the taps for a couple of weeks .

.

and let the demand rise, the return with the prices doubled.

What do you do with all this money? Buy houses, apartment blocks.

- Real estate never loses value.

- You can do better than that.

I can introduce you to someone who can give you good advice.

I'd like that.

What do you think? Let me know then.

Do you know anything about the robbery at Santo Spirito Bank? Didn't Freddo do it then? They all think he did it.

It's that f*cking cop's fault.

If he thinks he can take the piss k*lling Terribile is one thing, a police commissioner is another.

No, he's just some fucker who wants to frame Freddo.

I'll drive, I'm in a hurry.

Remember that basement flat in Trastevere? - What about it? - Let's take a look at it.

It will only take half an hour if I drive.

Let's go.

The request for your release is bound to be granted.

But? It would be better if we found out who really did the robbery.

Your friends are looking all over Rome for him.

But? But seeing they haven't found him yet .

.

they're wondering whether they should carry on looking.

No.

It's pointless if your friends have to ask that.

Well? What do you reckon? - It's hardly a gambling club.

- It's perfect.

We'll have the blackjack here, .

.

and the roulette and poker over here.

And some nice couple's rooms downstairs.

Three rooms for screwing in.

- It'll need cleaning up, decorating.

- Ranocchia will see to that.

Patrizia's brothel is a big hit.

Freddo was against it, .

.

and we always made this kind of decision together.

What about the bank robbery? - He didn't stick to the rules.

- What the f*ck are you saying? If it had been someone else we'd have found him by now.

What the f*ck.

.

sh*t.

Sorry Freddo, I didn't see you.

- Sorry? - I didn't see you.

- What do you want? - Nothing, - Tell me what you want! - I didn't see you, sorry.

- Sorry? - Sorry I didn't do anything! Leave me alone! Get him off me! What the f*ck are you staring at? What the f*ck are you staring at? We don't go over people's heads any more.

Terribile's villa is yours.

Along with 22 office, apartments and shops.

All signed by the notary.

Shall we wait until Freddo gets out to ask him about the gambling club.

You want to open a gambling club? Go ahead.

But tell me something.

.

What is there to be so pleased about? Yeah? Oh, it's you.

I'll be right there.

- What did you want to tell me? - That you were right.

Freddo didn't do the robbery.

Who did it then? We don't know his name, but he's from a fascist g*ng in Europa.

Do they work for you? We use them now and again but they're not on our payroll.

Let's go.

What the f*ck are you staring at? - I haven't done anything.

- Then why were you running away? Who are you? - Who did the Santo Spirito robbery? - Nero, but he's not here.

- Where will we find him? - I don't know Tell him Lebanese is looking for him, .

.

or we'll come back to finish the job.

You're Lebanese? What the f*ck are you staring at? Get that message to your friend.

I'll do that, Lebanese.

- Where are you going? - I told the, in the infirmary .

.

that I did it when I fell.

I b*at you up and you're still apologizing? I can't fight someone like you.

Why not? Leave me alone.

I've done you no harm.

Of course.

I'm a boss and you're just some jerk, Go away! Freddo didn't do the robbery.

Yes but we need this Nero.

He'll be hiding in some sewer.

Who's this? I heard you were looking for me.

If you sh**t, you're a dead man.

I've been prepared to die for some time.

But that's not why you came here.

I need to launder the money from the robbery.

With a man lying dead, it's hot money.

It can be done.

But I want the bike and crash helmet used in the robbery.

Hola.

Hola.

Fabrizio? Your friends outside say not to worry, things are working out.

Yeah My friends outside.

Wait! Does it still hurt? No.

I need a pen and some paper.

Can you get some for me? I asked you.

I can try.

Money crash helmet motorbike.

Where's my cut? - Is that it? - 5 million lire in cash.

We agreed to go halves, there must be about 20 there.

Divided by 2 makes 10.

Less the penalty for that prank with the g*n makes 5.

The bike's worth 2 million.

No.

it's worth 20 years in jail if they catch you riding it.

And what do you care? You live for the action, not for the money.

It's a pleasure doing business with you.

What shall I do with the bike? Take it to this address.

What the f*ck are you staring at? You can't be serious? It's a present for a friend.

Good morning sir.

It's over here.

Here.

This is it.

Freddo.

Freddo.

This is all I could get hold of.

It will do.

Thanks.

It's the bike used for the robbery.

With a b*llet in the saddle.

We'll have to let Freddo go now.

They're taking the piss.

We've just lost a battle A girl with a foreign accent just called.

She said she has some information about Dandi and Patrizia.

She'll expect you tonight at 8.

This is here address.

The Chinese girl's lost her marbles, she phoned the police.

What did she tell them? I couldn't hear.

Where is she now? I don't know, she's gone.

Where does she live? I don't know.

Find her, quickly! - What did I tell you? - To keep my mouth shut.

Then why did you call the police? I haven't told them anything.

I swear! In Italy they call this "end of employment money".

Take it and go.

If I see you again, I'll send you to keep that old fucker company.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Here.

go and buy yourself some peanuts.

It's brand new.

Not bad as an exchange.

It was worth getting arrested for.

Welcome back.

Where are Lebanese and Dandi? Organizing the opening of the gambling club.

What gambling club? He doesn't know about it.

We'll explain it to him.

Hurry up, I can smell cops here.

Come on, they're waiting for us.

Hello everyone, enjoy yourselves.

7, 9, 11.

.

About time.

You kept us waiting.

Nice place you've got here.

You should see downstairs, we've got beds with mirrors on the ceiling.

Four.

Have you lost again? How do you say "tough sh*t" in African? Excuse me.

Can I have a word? Of course.

- Well? - Well what? That guy from Caserta? I tried to find him.

He went to the brothel, .

.

had a screw, thanked them and left.

- Where? He never returned to his hotel.

- How the f*ck do I know? Perhaps he liked the Orient so much that he's gone to live in China.

Don't think about it now, just enjoy the party.

Welcome back! What do you think? Do you like it? We've even got the state on our side now.

- How was your honeymoon? - Crap.

Montezuma got his revenge on me in Mexico.

What a beauty! I want to introduce you to someone.

Hi handsome.

Business is doing well, no one can b*at is at making a profit.

- Or spending it.

- But we don't know how to invest it.

We've bought half of Rome What about the banks, stock market, speculation? We know nothing about these things.

We need someone to advise us.

Zio Carlo, for example, gets Secco here to help him.

I'm not with you.

You explain it to him.

If you give me a share of the kitty, say 10 or 15 percent, in a month I'll get you 45, maybe 50 percent back.

Meaning? If you give me 10 million lire, - you'll get 15 million back.

- We have a magician here.

What do we have to do? Nothing, Hand over the money at the end of each month; I'll do the rest.

Who is this guy, Father Christmas? So if we're all agreed, we have a new partner.

- Anyone not in favour? - I'm not.

It's a farce.

You put everything to the vote, when you've already made your mind up.

The way you always do.

- He's in a bad mood.

- He's pissed off.

Don't take it personally Secco, stress makes you lose weight.

Freddo.

Freddo! The gambling club received a majority vote.

It's not my fault you weren't here.

It's not the club, it's the people who are here.

The Mafia, the secret intelligence people, - What do we need them for? - To grow.

We've grown, and Rome is getting too small for us.

And you want to climb even higher? When you get to the top, you can only come down again.

Your friends are here.

Having problems? No, it's all sorted.

Nice bike.

Crap party, eh? They smile to your face then s*ab you in the back.

Who are you? Theyguy that got you into trouble then got you out of jail.

Shall we go for a ride? What did you call it? Astro.

.

? Astrology.

You study the stars to find out who you are, Who am I? I need to know what your star is.

I've never had a star.

Then choose one you like.

Okay I'll have that big fat one, high in the sky.

Orion.

He was a dead sh*t hunter.

He offended the goddess who had fallen in love with him.

No matter how much he tried to apologize, he was sentenced to death.

- Then what? - To save him, .

.

Zeus turned him into the brightest star in the north.

What's that? The apology to the goddess.

Get out.

Get out! No, Freddo.

I've not grown tired of it yet.
