"Good evening.

" "The latest message from The Red Brigades, threatening to k*ll" "Aldo Moro, who was kidnapped a month ago" What do you mean they've put a hold on the drug pushing? The pushers aren't taking the stuff, they're not going on the streets.

They've stopped selling it.

Break a few legs .

.

then the others will sell double what they used to.

Lebanese, it's not only his patch, you know.

It's the same on my patch.

And in Testaccio.

How many legs do we have to break? Turn that off! It's because of this Moro business.

There are too many cops around.

- The pushers are on strike.

- Strike? We're not a factory.

These damned communists! It's not only the work on the streets.

We've got a delivery to pick up and no-one will do it.

I'll do it.

What are they complaining about? There aren't that many cops.

Yes, for now.

He's peeing his pants.

I'm not, but when you use the singular, you do things on your own.

I speak for one and mean three.

What do you think, Freddo? What's eating you? You speak for one and mean three.

That's what's eating him.

Watch out! Slow down.

sh*t, I knew it.

The place is crawling with cops.

- Shall I turn off? - They'll only follow.

Let's see what they want.

Pass me the g*n.

- Good evening.

- Hello.

May I see some ID? Of course.

Here.

Thanks.

- Where are you going? - Taking these friends home.

Could you open the boot for me? Yes, of course.

Open the bag.

OK.

You can go.

Thanks.

Good night.

And you were loaded with stuff? - Stuffed like feather duvets.

- It was Lebanese's idea.

- A great idea.

So they didn't search you? Just looked in the boot? Of course.

Do you know why? They're looking for communists with g*ns .

.

not respectable people like us.

Now tell those wretches to get back to work, or they'll be fired.

And tell them that we use lead .

.

for end of employment pay.

"The sixth communiqué from The Red Brigades is a chilling announcement.

" "They claim that the interrogation is now over" "Aldo Moro is to be sentenced to death" "They say there are no further sensational revelations.

" You're working for Mario lo Zozzone then? Do you remember when we used to steal from his kitchen? He nearly had a heart att*ck! It's not his place now.

Mario's dead.

When? Two years ago.

He had a heart att*ck.

One too many.

- You remembered this place then? - How could I forget it? I don't know, you forgot me.

I haven't forgotten.

I haven't forgotten a thing.

Will you help me put it on? How did you find my caravan? How did you know I worked here? I asked around.

Me too.

What did they say? That it was a long time ago.

Yeah.

I was never able to put it on myself.

You always did it for me.

If it comes undone again, who will put it back on? I'm not kid any more Sara.

For the beer.

It's on the house.

What are you doing here? Don't get the wrong idea.

I always go to school, just not today.

It's not about school.

I need to talk to you about something else.

OK, go ahead.

Roberta and I are an item.

What are you saying? For almost a month.

Sorry, Gigio.

.

- But every time.

.

- Like hell! You've been making a fool of me all this time.

You told me Roberta was upset, that she was always crying, but you were screwing her instead! You're an assh*le Freddo! You're an assh*le! An assh*le! Go f*ck yourself! What happened at the road block? It's as I thought.

They're looking for the t*rrorists, not for us.

Did you send for me just to ask about the road block? I sent for you because I want you to get something straight.

We're in business now, and we make the decisions together.

But my opinion counts more than yours .

.

which isn't worth a f*cking thing.

But you were right this time.

Business must go on.

Thank goodness.

Don't piss outside the bowl.

I'm warning you.

- What did he want? - To bust my balls.

To remind you he's in charge.

He won't get it into his head that he has to work with us.

Why don't we teach him a lesson, once and for all? What do you mean? - That it's time to dump him.

- If we k*ll him now, we're done for too.

We're not strong enough yet.

Then stop being such a pain.

You wanted to go into business with him, so keep quiet.

- Look how you're talking to me! - Go f*ck yourself.

Sardo wants to talk to you.

Someone important wants to meet you.

Did they agree? Good.

Let me know what happens? Who are they? Part of the state.

This is a Camorra heavyweight.

Lebanese, the heavyweight.

We've been waiting for you.

Here we are.

Well, what do we need to discuss? The Camorra wants to help the state to find Moro.

And seeing no-one has the contacts that you have in Rome, he wants your help.

In exchange for what? The people that those men outside work for will be very grateful.

What if we can't find him? No hard feelings.

Alright.

I'll be in touch.

What about your iceberg? How's that coming along? Too slowly.

This Moro kidnapping is absurd, it's all I can think of.

What do you think about it? The kidnap? As a citizen, not a policeman.

I think that what they did was stupid.

The pact with the Christian Democrats would have been a good thing.

Yeah.

When two sides become allies, a third is afraid of missing out .

.

and will do anything to stop it.

They don't want to be the weakest.

Exactly.

A bit like your iceberg.

So big that it's in danger of melting.

You want me to force their hand? I want you to find me the weakest.

You and I can do nothing for Moro.

But we can still do our job well.

Come with me.

I know who we need to talk to.

These guys know what they're doing.

.

.

and we know f*ck all! - Who are you talking about? - The Red Brigades.

Do we take lessons from communists? Yes, we need to learn from them They're well organized, like an army.

Could you kidnap an MP? No, and I don't want to either.

Lebanese is right.

You need to be well organized to do certain things.

And you have to stick together.

If we stick together .

.

we'll take Italy.

Yes, and then the world.

Why did you agree? We need him.

You think we need to work for those guys? Yes and do the state a favour.

I don't like doing favours for those who leave me to starve and when I rebel, throw me in jail.

I don't give a sh*t about the state! I don't give a f*ck what you think! Let's do them this favour, then we'll see.

Please yourself.

Don't worry, we're doing the right thing.

If we find Moro .

.

we'll have private means for the rest of our lives .

.

and so will Freddo.

OK but you see to Moro.

Don't worry, I know who to talk to.

Are you going to leave me sitting here all night? At least tell me why you sent for me.

Commissioner, what do you want this time? Did you hear that, Canton? Did someone say something? Is this a joke? - It isn't very funny.

- You don't have to laugh.

Because this is what you're about to become: a nothing.

What do you mean? I'm talking about the pact you made.

The one with Lebanese, Freddo and Dandi They're courting you like a king right nowto hang you later.

You've a vivid imagination.

And you've none at all.

And very little brains.

All you have to do is tell me about them, and I'll throw them in jail.

You will be rid of the competition.

Competition? I'm not a tradesman.

I don't sell cold meats.

Can I go? You know where to find me if you change your mind.

This one's really hot.

How long did he say he'd be? I don't know.

If he doesn't hurry up we'll lose Braciola.

He's going in 20 minutes.

Let's hope they do away with Moro, and get this tarantella over with.

- Then we can relax a bit.

- What the f*ck are you saying? It's be better.

Can you imagine this country ruled by communists? What do you know about communism, fascism or socialism? Listen to the philosopher! Who taught you all this? Pasolini? - What if he did? - What's Pasolini got to do with it? Don't you know? Ricotta made two films with the maestro, who put strange ideas into his head about politics.

- Wasn't Pasolini gay? - Sure was! The maestro didn't put other ideas into your head, did he? Rinse your mouth out when you talk about Pasolini.

Hi, Teschio, you've kept us waiting.

Have you some good news? I asked around.

No one's ever seen the g*ns used to kidnap Moro.

You sure? I know all the g*ns that enter Rome.

Either these guys are strangers or from abroad or did not use the usual channels.

OK if you find anything leave a message at Franco's.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Do you remember how we used to like watching the planes as kids? You liked watching them.

I only came to make you happy.

Are you only here now to make me happy? I'm here now because I've missed you.

I've missed you too.

Why did it take you all this time? Because I found this a week ago.

What's wrong? Nothing.

A lot of things have changed in my life.

Really changed.

You have your own car .

.

or did you steal this one too? No It's mine.

Sara, I don't know what people have told you about me.

You don't have to explain to me what you do.

Why haven't you been in touch all these years? I couldn't look you in the eye after what happened.

It wasn't your fault.

You couldn't do a thing to help me that day.

Your eyes tell me you haven't changed.

That you're the same person.

Look how nice this is.

Looks like a painting.

A country landscape.

Look.

I'd like a house in the country.

Why don't you build me one? What's wrong? You're quiet.

Some problems at work.

.

but all sorted now.

Sure? OK.

I'm going.

Bye.

There they are! - The whore and the snake.

- What do you want, Gigio? I've come to look at you.

.

- .

.

to see how disgusting you are.

- We'll talk about it later.

Of course.

You're a hero, aren't you brother? Go f*ck yourself! How long has he known? WHat difference does it make? f*ck, the Porsche! We're closed, what do you want? - Where's Sara? - How do I know? - Where the f*ck is Sara? - I don't know! - She said she didn't need a job anymore.

- Where's she gone? Gone away with her boyfriend.

- Her boyfriend? - That's all I know, I swear.

- Who is her boyfriend? - I don't know his name.

It's all sorted.

- What do you mean? - The strike's over.

The pushers are back on their shifts.

Now we're having a nice game.

No you're not.

I want you to find a girl called Sara Canali.

- Who is she? - Just find her.

Her and her boyfriend.

We've been out and about for two days.

Get me this, get me that Instead of two days make it three! What's up with them? Lebanese wants us to find a girl.

Getting others to find you women? Cut it out.

I'm not in the mood.

Are you still here? Come on! What's happened? - Nothing.

- Nothing! There must be a reason you're looking for someone.

Who is she? A girl who's cleaned me out.

Money, gold and car.

- How did she do that? - How do you think? I woke up and she'd gone.

So instead of screwing her, she's screwed you.

Mind what you're saying! - Let's talk about Moro.

- What's the news? Nothing.

No-one supplied the communists with g*ns or forged papers.

- Did they do it all themselves? - How do I know? The hiding place that the police found was empty.

So I decided to check out the rented property, we might find something.

- And? - They'll let me know.

Forget it.

They've k*lled him.

And told them where the body is.

f*ck! I knew it! Yes? One minute.

Bufalo! It's for you.

Want it in there? - No, I'm coming.

- He's coming.

Who is it? Tell me.

When is the delivery? Thanks for the tip-off.

Bye, Franco.

Who were you talking to? - That's my business.

- It's a bad day, trust me.

Alright.

It seems you too are only interested in your own business.

- What do you mean, fur coats? - Fur coats.

A truck full.

I'll stop it, empty it and drive off.

An easy little job.

I'm fed up being idle.

And this Moro business has really got up my nose.

When are these fur coats being delivered? You'll need help unloading them.

What are you thinking about? Terribile? - I'm not worried about him.

- What then? This last communiqué on Moro.

If it's true, the state will fight back.

Everything will change.

Get out! Quickly! Get your hands off me! sh*t! What's wrong sir? f*ck you! Bastards! - What's going on? - Communists, Red Brigade sympathizers.

f*cking riot cops! - What the f*ck do you want? - Be quiet.

What the f*ck? What are you doing? She had nothing to do with Moro's kidnap and your round-ups.

-"Your" round-ups? We both do the same job! - Let me through, - Who is she? - Somebody I can vouch for.

Yes? Listen carefully, The message from The Red Brigades is false.

- Who are you? - That's not important.

Moro is alive.

You must keep looking for him.

You "have to".

Who do you think you're talking to? Tell the cops he's alive.

What are you playing at? Keep searching.

Hello? - Now what do you want? - It's me.

We've found them.

Where are they? - I've given it all back! - I told you to be quiet! WHo do we have here? Nicola Costantini known as "The Wise One".

He looks more like an assh*le to me.

- So why do they call him "wise"? - Because I don't say much.

You don't think either, or you wouldn't have stolen from my home.

From Lebanese.

- It was her idea! - I told you to be quiet! What kind of man are you? What kind of man have you chosen? One who won't take responsibility for his own actions.

What about you? They r*pe your woman and you avoid her like the plague! That's what you are since Terribile touched you.

Whatever he touches turn to sh*t.

And you're in business with him now.

I know.

What did I tell you? I'm not a kid any more.

I'll be your pusher, for free, anything No! No! I've not been a kid for some time now.

- Get rid of the body.

- What about her? - Let her go? - What if she goes to the cops? She won't.

Trust me, What's wrong? - Do you want me to thank you? - Wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm not joking, Sandra.

You don't know the risks.

- Not a sermon! - I hate this attitude! It's not a matter of attitude.

I have chosen what I want to be .

.

and I am willing to pay the consequences.

I have an ideology.

- What does that have to do with anything? - It has! Who are you? A guy who serves the state or someone who wants to change it? Let me know when you've decided.

You can't be both.

- Who is it? - Terribile wants to talk to you.

Tell him not to bust my ass.

I'm busy.

Why did you send for me? To talk to you about Lebanese.

We can't trust him.

He does too many things his own way.

First he makes pacts then tells pushers how to move.

He decides who gets his stuff and who doesn't.

Most important of all, he shows no respect to the right people.

Which I think is the most important thing, right? Then this.

.

.

.

is a reunion between the right people? You get my meaning.

And the right people do the right thing don't they? What do you want to do? If I could, I would take a holiday.

I don't like the way the wind's blowing.

Lebanese is doing one stupid thing after another.

We all do stupid things.

Even this business with Moro.

What has that to do with us? You're right.

And he told us to mind our own business with Terribile.

What's the point of this alliance? Forget it.

You'll never understand what it was all about.

Here's the van now.

Put this on.

I'll cut in front and you aim the g*n.

- Wait a minute.

- What's wrong? - What the f*ck are we doing? - A robbery.

We did robberies when we were kids.

What are we now? Criminals.

What else could you be, with a face like yours? But it was any easy hit.

Let's get out of here.

Go f*ck yourself.

"Hundreds of men are looking for Moro's body in" Coming.

Who is it? Sir, this is Scialoja.

I know where Baron Rosellini's body is.

I have some news.

Do you hear? We may know where he's being held.

The rented property lead was a good one.

There's a strange contract.

Lebanese, get on to Sardo.

He has to talk to his friends.

Ricotta, go and see Sardo.

It's freezing here! I hope you're right.

So do I.

- We don't need him anymore.

- What do you mean You can stop looking for Moro.

But we have a good lead, The people who wanted us to find him have changed their minds.

They want him dead.

That's none of our concern.

Bye.

We were wasting our time.

I reckon so.

You didn't even notice I'd stolen your keys.

Put down that g*n.

Don't tell me what to do! What are you going to do with that? What is right.

You've k*lled me twice over.

When you left me alone in that field, and today.

We'll sort things.

Don't worry.

- It will be like it was before.

- Nothing will ever be like it was before! Nothing will ever be like it was before.

I've found him.

It's baron Rosellini.

Do you want to arrest them? - They did it.

- We don't have enough evidence.

I'll find it.

But first I need them in jail so I can look for it.

- Did you sh**t her? - She sh*t herself.

What? Don't you believe me? Lebanese, listen.

I don't even want to know who she is but we need to get rid of her.

I want rid of you.

Get out of my sight.

First you do your own thing, then tell me what to do.

Easy.

She k*lled herself in your home.

Freddo's right, we need to get rid.

Or we'll all end up in jail.

Come on let's get a move on.

We need something to weigh her down.

I'll get some rocks.

She looks like a young kid.

We're no longer kids, Freddo.

We've not been kids for some time.

Let's go.

What are you doing here? You run away, I chase after you.

You won't sort out things with Gigio by avoiding me.

Have you thought of a country home? Of course I have.

I should have told your brother.

It's my fault.

It's nobody's fault.

Listen There are things I need to tell you.

Things about me.

If we are an item, I want you to know.

Drop that g*n! Drop it! Stay where you are.

Hands in the air.

You're making a mistake.

- Be careful.

- Do I have to come too? The commissioner says no need.
