02x04 - Scorched Earth

Post by bunniefuu »

[footsteps]

I can't take it anymore, Saverio!

- Please talk to us! - What do I have to do?

- I can not do it! - That's enough! Leave me alone!

[sound of breaking glass]

Where are you going, Jade? Wait up! [door slamming]

[Carlotta's cry]

The time of waiting was over.

[sirens]

Sixty long days of sirens, blood and handcuffs.

In two words: scorched earth.

In hunter jargon, this means that you are not aiming for prey to hunt

but you burn the woods.

I was arresting men of honor, supporters

simple sutlers ... sh*t K*llers.

Even complacent administrators, entrepreneurs, politicians ...

other shitty people.

Giovanni Brusca must have felt hunted, isolated

he had to feel alone, be afraid, know I was coming.

I was burning up years of my own and my colleagues' investigations.

They told me I was crazy, that I had lost control

but it wasn't true.

[creaking of the bed]

I was just doing my job.

[radio] ... against organized crime.

[radio] The arrests that are already over 250

seem to be attributable to the Brusca drug trafficking network ...

- who remains a fugitive ... - Turn off this thing.

Oh, Totò! Watch out.

When do exports resume?

For travel I have already solved

but getting a refinery back up is now a challenge.

- Do we lose a lot? - Two hundred million a week.

The coke left there will be hissing the cops.

Provenzano wants to see me.

Let's see if he and Aglieri can help us.

Leave those alone. We do it ourselves, it's better.

- Are you coming now? - In Palermo there is traffic.

John, listen to me, we don't need their help.

Don Luchino also said ...

Still with Don Luchino? I don't care about him.

The Corleonese must join forces.

- I make it clear to Provenzano. - When do you have to see him?

When we have to see it. Come you too.

In Provenzano you have to explain these too

because he doesn't like bombs anymore.

We don't justify how we blow the tongue out of spies.

This is delicate and unpredictable.

- How unpredictable? - More than anything else, damage.

- Then if the dead man escapes ... - Enzo delivers it.

Tonight?

We need to take back the territory, Enzi '.

You want responsibility and I give it to you. Or do you want to escape far from Palermo?

- Okay, I'll take it. - No, don't worry, I do.

By eleven, everything will be fine.

We have 250 detainees, the barracks are full.

Let's stop and see if the right track turns up.

You piece of sh*t!

Who do you think you are? Do you work on my fugitive without telling me?

Cucuzza falls within the names made by Monticciolo

and with the traffic of Brusca, it is now my responsibility.

Skills ... There is also working together.

Not just f*cking investigating colleagues.

I'm sorry, but I work with Mazza.

Nice couple!

You are right. In fact, you have been working on Cucuzza for months.

When we get it, you come to the press conference too.

Baron, f*ck off!

Cucuzza is the right track.

"If you want the boss, follow the money." Cucuzza is money.

Brusca will have a hard time giving up the st*lks of the refinery.

You could have told me. So I avoided being called an as*h*le.

OK, sorry. I try to go faster.

I have been working with those people for years and this is not my way.

Aren't you leaving?

What do you care about maintaining good relations?

Let's go to concrete things. Let's get down to business. To the point.

Dickhead.

Will you stop treating me like a traitor? I am still here.

I made a choice that you don't understand why you are selfish.

Am I a selfish? I?

Put it as you please.

Go around it, but the truth is that you are abandoning me.

It's a promise to my family and I want to keep it.

You respect this thing.

You made a promise to me too. Do you remember? We were here.

I told you: "Let's take everyone."

You shook my hand, Carlo. And you lied to me.

I treat you like this because I'm alone.

Maybe I'll stop by for dinner tonight, what do you think?

- Did you hear Jade? - He doesn't answer.

- You need to talk to her. - Sure.

Amunì.

[ringing of bells]

In via Sampolo and via Cipressi.

I recommend it.

- Available. - Well done.

[Maria sings]

[car radio] ♪ How are you now? ♪

I don't want to be disrespectful, I've never refused

but in front of the mayor's house ...

♪ Restami inside, love.

♪ And in the water that is already up, we fight. ♪

Via Cuba.

I don't give a sh*t! Do you carry it or do you not carry it?

I can't risk it.

♪ But where the sea grows, where the sea grows.

♪ Where the sea grows.

♪ Where the sea grows, where the sea grows. ♪

Okay, Tonino?

♪ Here where I consume myself

♪ it seems impossible to live.

♪ Before going to sleep we look at each other

♪ we only write love songs. ♪

Did you see that I made it?

I arrived in time to take you to Mars.

- Maria, Enzo! Come on, come here! - Yes, come!

Let's have some tea.

Enzo, you said you were telling us that thing.

Tell, tell.

So, practically ... there's a woman in America.

She says she is half alien because her mother was with a gray.

She says she sees them often and they tell her that there is a different world beyond here.

A world ... that cannot be explained.

I believe it, Enzo. But they never came looking for me.

You can't know, because they erase your memory.

If they come, I would like to remember it.

Can not be done. It would be too much for us.

[explosions in the distance]

- What happened? - Did you hear the bang?

Something must have exploded. Look at the smoke.

- Do you want us to leave? - No because?

I love being here.

I like being with you.

[explosions, sirens]

What have you done? Come on, now let's eat.

- I'll do something else. - No, he always eats it.

Is it true that you always eat it?

You should answer him on the phone.

- Did he tell you something? - That he misses you.

He just wants to talk to you, let him explain.

Saverio needs help and I can only hold on.

- I know, but ... - You can stay as long as you want.

- The upstairs apartment is your home. - Of course, they will never give it to me.

At least until I get married.

According to the statements of Calvaruso and Monticciolo

she, Leoluca Biagio Bagarella, as head of the Cosa Nostra

ordered the kidnapping of Giuseppe Di Matteo, 12 years old

son of Santino ... a detention of 779 days.

[creaking of the bed] [noise of chains]

[knocking at the door]

It's me. Will you open me up?

- Please, Jade. - What did you choose?

What did you choose?

I don't need a psychologist, I need you.

Come back to me.

- Is the little girl asleep? Let me see. - I can't, you have to get help.

You said "at any cost". At any cost!

] Amun, open, give.

] Jade.

[knocks on the door]

- Jade! - Xavier.

- Not like that. - Now my wife reopens.

- Is it true that you reopen? - It does not reopen, it does not reopen.

I have a plane at five in the morning.

The headlights of your armored car illuminate the whole building. Come on.

] You have Bagarella's audience in the morning. Not like this, come on.

Catching criminals is half a PM's job

then there are the processes.

Hearing number 18 of the trial of Leoluca Biagio Bagarella +67.



and 900 pages of indictments.

The showdown.

The moment where all your efforts, sacrifices ...

and sleepless nights become one word ...

justice.

The massacres of Capaci and via d'Amelio, the assassination of Boris Giuliano

that of the journalist Mario Francese

the kidnapping of Giuseppe Di Matteo.

In addition to being the undisputed leader of the Cosa Nostra

between 1992 and 1995.

These are just some of the charges against you, Bagarella.

They are all bullshit.

Bravo, Don Luchino!

[cheers]

Please, gentlemen! Silence!

They will also bullshit, but here the bullshit becomes life imprisonment.

[dissenting voices]

Lawyers, call your clients back

or have the classroom cleared.

I answer everyone.

Bagarella at the hearing and the bombings.

Do you think they are connected?

I honestly don't know.

Cosa Nostra responds with bombs when it feels weak and afraid.

The mafia does not exist.

Bravo, tell him this infamous!

They are right to be afraid.

You claim that you were not the regent of the Commission

but a common citizen.

A viddano, as you say.

Nobody respects her or takes her orders.

One question, Bagarella.

If the Cosa Nostra doesn't exist, what is it?

A nullity.

[whistles and voices of dissent]

Silence! Silence!

Prosecutor, do not make provocations.

The mobsters are cowards.

They detonate the bombs and now they take it out on the children

but they don't have the guts to collide with an armed escort.

Ten go to k*ll one man with Kalashnikovs

and they call themselves honorable men.

[voices overlaid by the TV]

What is this cuckold doing? Do you play on the computer?

- Cuckold! - Shame!

[TV] Are you afraid of retaliation? [TV] No, no.

I'm not the one who needs to be afraid.

[TV] Whatever these parasites intend, they won't have time.

Major arrests are imminent.

We are breathing down your neck, you cowards!

[TV] With permission.

[cell phone rings]

Jade, thank goodness you answered.

- I wanted to hear from you and the baby. - To tell you what?

That her father defies the mafia by giving a damn about her and her mother?

You decide for everyone.

Do you want to see us dead? Do you want this?

f*ck off!

[creaking of the bed]

[in a muffled voice] Doctor.

Doctor!

It is useless to keep coming here. Here we go.

There must be something leading us to Cucuzza.

It has to be there.

We double checked all the machinery, no prints.

Nothing emerged from the second cleaning of the office either.

Chinese junk, produced worldwide.

Impossible to trace the origin. Here we go.

- Then we can ... - Go to sleep.

Let's start again tomorrow.

Zaza!

Look, I thought ...

Why don't you come up to me and have a drink?

Let's get together and take a look at the cards.

No, doctor.

Are you pissed about the story of the reporters?

No, that's not it. We are practically operational 24 hours a day.

All the shifts have been skipped, the boys never rest.

That's enough for tonight.

But seriously, are you pissed?

Or not? Tell me.

You would be right, I expose myself and choose for you too.

If you just have a doubt or something to tell me, tell me.

There is no other way ...

to do what we are doing?

I don't know, Leonardo.

No, not for now.

Leave me in the prosecutor's office and go to rest.

[creaking of the bed]

This Baron is breaking the f*ck up.

Do you want to use the m*ssile launcher?

Why not? I would blow him and his whole family.

He just can't keep it in his underwear.

Look Who's Talking!

Blessed are you who makes you laugh.

Nobody can call me a coward, you have to be careful.

Good, Vito. There are now more important things to think about.

Here they are. Get him headlights.

- Are they? - So it seems.

- You didn't tell me about the Brusca. - I did not know.

We only had the relay. Today we are all full.

- So Provenzano too. - Better.

- If he looks good, you meet him too. - Yup.

- Good morning, Giovanni. - Good morning.

Giovanni.

- How much time! - At least two lifetimes ago.

You and your brother can come with me.

Vito can follow us in your car.

All right, he warned.

My friend, come here.

- How are you? - Well.

f*ck, how hard you are!

You've been practicing ever since I arm wrestled you.

You and I have never been in a tug-of-w*r.

It is normal, those who lose tend to forget.

Since there is a little way to meet him ...

we leave our friends here to talk business

and you come with me.

I want to show you a thing.

Here we go.

Giovanni!

- Good evening. - Say hello.

[together] Good evening.

- It's all OK? - Hi, Totò.

We have to stay until the end.

- Where are they going? - I do not know.

But I'm afraid it's not the right day for your meeting.

- And this? - Nice, huh?

Why that funeral face? Aren't you afraid of flying?

No.

"The emptiness of the sky disarms anger."

Whose is this? It is not yours, they are never yours.

Bravo, Giovanni. This is by Simone de Beauvoir.

Ah. We see that this Simone has never really pissed off.

It is a woman.

Power.

Can I ask you a question?

All those bombs ... were they really necessary?

I don't have to be accountable to you.

You are right.

Do you know why I like to fly?

Because from up there you see everything more clearly.

How are you going to do it now?

Now that you've stolen traffic from the Americans.

Have you found a safe place to stay?

Think about driving.

Hold on.

Here we go.

Wait for me here.

- What's up? - Nothing.

Problems?

I'm sorry, but the meeting is off.

What the f*ck does that mean? The trip, the helicopter ...

- You called me. - You're right, but you have to understand it.

He called you months ago

before I had half the Palermo cops on.

Let's face it, your men are selling you for a plate of pasta.

Therefore he had to come. If there is a need, it takes presence.

If you want to be helped, you have to change your attitude.

The air of tranquility, pure and without gunpowder

is good for the lungs.

Speak clearer.

Time to sh**t is over.

Especially against the body you are supposed to inhabit.

Ah.

I understand why Riina and Bagarella told me to stay away from you.

If you talk like that, I'm sorry.

They never understood what was going on.

Provenzano and I tried to explain it to him

to offer our help

just as I am doing with you, Giovanni, now.

Let's hear ... what did they answer you?

Here ... To me the air of the state sucks c*ck.

They are all in prison, Giovanni!

Palermitani, corleonesi, viddani ...

Maybe you haven't noticed. Where are you going? Come here!

You see that the road is long.

"Better alone than badly transported."

Giovanni Brusca. Mark it.

Today it could all end.

Aglieri, Cucuzza, Provenzano ...

There was also Brusca.

You were bingo and I was getting out of this sh*t.

- I'm a jerk. - Nicola, look at me.

There are f*cking days in every investigation.

You can close, but you can't.

- I was afraid. - You went home to your daughter.

Fear saves your life.

When you're not a dickhead on the wrong side.

Nobody believes me, Sisca!

I found a way to meet Provenzano. Can't refuse.

What way?

But you have to run, the day I call you.

Ally with whoever you want, also call Jesus Christ

because that day you will take it.

I need the details.

Everything you remember today.

Contrada Rifesi in Pietraperzia.

Contrada Rifesi in Pietraperzia ...

[indistinct voice]

Search?

Sure. You don't want to disappoint the welcome committee.

What an as*h*le ... you were having a hard time informing me in person.

- Welcome back, Carlo. - Welcome back a f*ck!

- We have a lot to talk about. - I know you're right.

To get my a*s, get in line. Elijah has already called me.

Don't you feel like you've exaggerated?

It is strategy.

- Strategy? - Yup.

Is all that press bullshit part of your strategy?

If you're ready for more upcoming arrests, I'd like to know which ones.

Do you have any news about Cucuzza or Brusca?

- No. - Ah.

[creaking of the bed]

But...

If you still give me carte blanche

if you give me another name, I can go faster.

Not only on Brusca. Much more, on Provenzano!

Jokes? I'll call you to find out if you know you're trespassing

and you ask me for other inquiries?

After you took Cucuzza? After I protected you?

Others don't bring you my results.

Saverio ... you are not the only one to draw lines on this agenda

but pretend you don't know.

Take a walk down the hall and shake a few hands.

They are there when you win, but you are never there for them.

You can go now.

Giovanni, is that all? There's still a lot of stuff here.

I don't need anything else. Is the car okay?

Giovanni, tell me something ...

Are you leaving for Provenzano, Aglieri or for that sh*t of a magistrate?

If so, just one word from you and they all go underground.

Enzo, come on, tell him too. Leaving is bullshit!

Stop it! He would remain only for Maria.

Vito, look at me.

Watch me. I need information.

All you can.

Where are Aglieri and Provenzano, they do.

They know everything about us and we don't know anything about them.

Totò, the traffic must restart.

If you have problems, call Baldinucci in New York.

All right.

Here we go.

- Are you chauffeured? - A good boy.

- I'd like to let you know. - Maybe another time.

He knows you next time, now he was in a hurry.

It would be an honour.

[creaking of the bed]

Come on, distract me! [Jade laughs]

Come on, I'm dying!

Yes, okay, I'll wait.

But are you sure?

- Yes. - He's ready at the table.

I'm waiting for all the material in my office in the morning.

Okay thanks. Yes thanks.

- Dad, let's go. - Give me a kiss first.

Have you found anything.

- Sorry why? - Always like that.

- When you find something you want kisses. - I always kiss you.

- Mmh. - Mmh.

There is nothing with the cabbage, Baron.

] Dad, are you in a hurry? - Arrival.

No, never the TV on while you eat.

Once they screwed me.

[doorbell] I'll go.

Team up to see the one with the pigtail that makes people scream.

"What's your name? What are you singing? A round of applause!"

He can't stand it.

I know I know.

Come in, come on.

- I would have called you. - Oh yes? Why?

A name that is worth everything: Giovanni Zerbo.

The company where the refinery is located has taken it from bankruptcy

but the authorization is false.

The registration number and the date in the public deed do not coincide.

There was an extra change of ownership

and that name came out of the search.

And whose is the bar in Porta Nuova where they saw Cucuzza?

- Zerbo. - No.

His wife. It can't be a coincidence.

f*ck, Carlo ... Giovanni Zerbo.

] Who was he, Carlo?

- Here we go. - No, I'm going away.

I'll take care of it, don't worry.

Sorry, my fault, I invited him without saying anything.

- Hi, Xavier! - Good evening.

We didn't cross paths and I had to tell him some good news.

I told you you found something.

I brought ...

Put it in the fridge and set it for Saverio.

Here, Teresa.

- Thank you! - The flowers.

This ... Oh well.

Take a seat.

- There? - Yup.

- No work at the table. - Already done.

I put the flowers in a vase.

- Good idea. - Here.

Teresa, two vases! We have two decks.

Is Carlotta sleeping?

Then let's talk a little?

Did you fix the door?

No ... so everyone knows what happens when you get angry.

All small and petite, but peaks strong.

Does your rib still hurt?

To me the hand yes.

How did we get there? Come back to me.

You know how we got there.

Yup.

I never looked at Carlotta for the video game.

This is not it.

I locked myself in the studio for hours to work

without going out to eat, and then the interview ...

This is not it.

I know you don't want to be an as*h*le with me and Carlotta.

You are not a freak putting his family in danger.

Joseph's death is driving you crazy

even if you don't talk about it.

I don't know what to do anymore.

You...

you need someone to help you get rid of this burden a little bit.

I don't want to free myself.

I need this weight

to get up in the morning and find the strength to go on.

Christ, Xavier ...

You stand there on the sofa ...

I am next to you and you move your head like that and whisper.

I hear you whispering and I feel so helpless.

Please ... find someone.

I don't need anyone, I need you.

- Maybe I can talk to you. - Please do it for me.

We were succeeding.

It was me, you and Carlotta

in balance, with that f*cking cell phone that always rings.

Even when he is silent I hope he rings.

Even though I know it will take you away from me ...

then you will be happy.

We were doing it.

That kid didn't make it.

He died while we were taking a bath. I got distracted.

Get out.

- You said "at any cost". - Don't try, okay?

Don't make me feel guilty for not participating in your revenge

while you self-destruct.

I've already done this ... for years.

Now I can no longer live alone ...

to wipe the blood off your face.

I'm sorry.

Doctor, what are you still doing here?

- It made me worry. - Sorry, sorry.

I needed a moment.

- Everything good? - Yup.

Come on, I'll take her home.

Nerd.

Forgive me, Carlo had a good idea.

Apologize for me to the boys. Let's go to the Prosecutor's Office.

Do you at least realize it or not?

He did not attend the meeting between Brusca and Provenzano.

I told you. Aglieri took Brusca and they walked away.

So sorry then.

You tell me about an encounter that no one has seen and you get nervous as well.

- I want proof. - Here they are.

I don't want to see this stuff.

This stuff should be formalized in writing in a document.

- ROS consider them irrelevant. - But you've never read them.

Do you please?

I can?

He writes you these things and you copy them here?

No.

He tells them to me and I write them down.

It's been months of information and things come back.

There is material for an investigation.

You want your investigation of Provenzano.

- I can not do that. - I know you can't directly.

They should get to someone. Help me put them in black and white.

Do you want me to put some acronyms? What do you sign your diary?

This stuff means nothing.

Because writing it is a SCO freelance on the wrong side!

You ended up alone! It is not the first time that you are wrong!

We need an idea, Enzi '.

An idea that also buggers luck.

[yell out]

Coffee?

You are welcome.

- Bad evening? - No.

- Lucky you. - How's it going with Brusca?

I can help you. Are you interested?

It depends on what you know.

I know someone who met him yesterday.
