La Piovra (1984) s07e02 Episode Script

Season 7, Episode 2

In a city in Sicily a prisoner recently extradited from Germany, Rosario Granchio, seeks to reveal a terrible secret to Judge Silvia Conti.
But before he can talk he's killed, practically under the nose of his minder, the young inspector Gianni Breda.
Silvia Conti asks to be sent to investigate.
She has her reasons.
It was in this same Sicilian city that I nspector Corrado Cattani had taken on the Octopus, a battle which resulted in his death.
Silvia senses the hand of fate.
She finds the city greatly changed.
The old Mafia's power is under challenge from an increasingly aware public championed by Daniele Rannisi, an odd character, half journalist and half disc jockey.
Meanwhile, Rosario Granchio's death sparks a feud.
Sara, Granchio's daughter, kills the lover of NuZZo Marciano, the boss who murdered her father and her fiancé Antonio.
The woman's young son, Nino Rodio, also dies in the attack.
Sara is contrite, but is left isolated and in despair.
Silvia Conti suspects that the key to this chain of crimes lies with Rosario Granchio's secret, a secret rooted in the past.
And from the past emerges Countess Olga Camastra and her controversial liaison with I nspector Cattani.
Meanwhile, Saverio Bronta, an Italian expatriate living an exile's life in Russia, is probing Camastra's dealings in that country, a massive operation laundering money from Italy.
OCTOPUS 7 I nvestigation into the Death of I nspector Cattani Part Two Everybody thinks we killed the woman and the child.
Now we're in trouble and it's all your sister's fault.
My sister did what you didn't have the guts to do.
Have you forgotten Antonio? He was one of you.
You have a score to settle.
I don't want to pay for it.
Lino's right.
If you and your sister want revenge, count me out.
- What's this? - A down payment.
So from now on, the shops will pay us instead of NuZZo.
Sounds good.
Count me in.
Do what you like.
CraZy women bring bad luck.
Yes, sure.
See you round.
Do you have any enemies who'd want to take revenge on your family? Enemies? Me? I'm just a draughtsman.
I have no money and no power.
Who'd bother with me? We need your help to find the killers.
What do you care? You get paid no matter what.
Mr Rodio, your wife and son were executed.
Maybe you crossed someone.
You know what my only mistake was? I wanted to have a beautiful wife and a beautiful son.
Better than what a nobody like me deserved.
And I wanted a quiet life, with no hassles.
I liked to make people jealous.
That was my mistake.
That won't help us very much.
Who are you afraid of? I'm afraid of everybody, even you.
But I don't care any more.
I'm tired.
I just know my son is dead, and he was only seven.
How much worse can it get? May I go now? All right.
What does it take to make someone talk here? He's covering up for someone.
Probably.
But he's ashamed of his fear.
That's the bank.
Little more than a money exchange.
It's hard to believe all that money comes from here.
The computer showed it clearly.
Today 50 billion lire will go through that bank.
And much more in the next few days.
Come, he's expecting you.
Sobchak is the bank's accountant.
He'll tell you what you want to know for 1000 roubles.
Who's the Croce del Sud account holder? It's money from your country.
I knew that.
How does the money get here? He wants more.
Go on.
The Croce del Sud is an Italian ship.
It's here now.
A ship? What has it got to do with a bank? They've opened an account, but it's secret.
There they are.
Is the money in there? An electronic transfer could be traced.
So they've reverted to the old system.
Carrying the money across the border in suitcases.
Only this time they've done it on a grand scale.
You've found what you were looking for.
Now you'll go back to Italy, won't you? I know I don't mean anything to you.
But what will you tell your wife? There's no lesson today.
Or rather, we'll have a special lesson.
That's why we have a guest.
We've invited her to help us understand why Nino isn't here any more.
I think that when such a terrible thing happens the right way to react is to discuss why it happened.
It won't bring Nino back but it will keep him alive inside us.
This is where Nino sat.
Though he wouldn't always sit quietly.
What's your name? I'm Silvia.
You're a cop.
I saw you on TV.
Not exactly.
I work with the police.
I'm trying to find out who took Nino from you.
I didn't know him well, so I thought I'd ask your help.
I won't tell you anything.
I'm not a bastard.
Do you know what bastard means? - Does anyone else know? - I do.
My Dad says a bastard is a busybody.
A spy.
Pasquale was a bastard when he told the teacher that Marco had punched Lucio.
That's a lie.
No, it's true.
It's not true.
Please, children, one at a time.
Is there anyone who thinks differently? I do.
- What's your name? - Marco.
I'm the one who punched Lucio.
I think a bastard is Nino's killer and people like him.
I don't know who took Nino away from you.
But I know it's someone who often uses the word bastard.
I'd be happy if you never uttered that word.
I n fact If someone says it, leave him all by himself.
And if he asks you why, say it's a promise you made to Nino.
I didn't see the killer's face.
He had a helmet.
He was a young guy, rather short.
What do you know about Nino's parents? They seemed to be an average family.
You never noticed anything unusual? Often he was picked up from school by a man.
He had a luxury car, but didn't look like a gentleman.
- How often did he come? - About twice a week.
He was there when they took Nino's body away.
- You think he's involved? - No.
That man was distraught.
He was terribly upset by the boy's death.
- Do you know his name? - No.
Do you know anything about him? No, that's all I know.
- Hi.
Are you ready? - Yes, sure.
Sit there.
Here's the microphone.
Composition.
My Family.
By Nino Rodio.
I don't mean to brag, but my family is a bit special.
Let me introduce them to you.
My family is made up of three people.
Actually, there are four of us, counting Uncle NuZZo.
He's not a real uncle, but we call him Uncle.
There's me, Nino, my Mum, Marcella, and my Dad, Giuseppe.
I have no brothers because Mum says we can't afford them.
I asked my Dad too, but he said it's not my business.
- Mr Mayor, a comment - Not now.
Mr Mayor, it's a very poignant moment.
The whole city is grieving.
Today we suffer defeat.
But I guarantee the day of reckoning will come.
We're working to hasten that day.
Even the Hon.
Mr Monteverde wanted to join the crowd on this day of mourning despite his busy schedule.
A comment, sir? I'm sorry I don't feel like talking right now.
My dad is forty-eight.
He's tidy and good-natured, and never gets angry.
He's the only one of us who opens the fridge with the pedal.
But the best character in my family is Uncle NuZZo.
Because he likes cars and even lets me drive his.
And I must say Uncle is very generous.
He gave me a Total Recall robot, a water machine-gun, a gun that looks real and a car that really works.
I can sit in it and it goes pretty fast.
Do you need money for the funeral? I at least want to pay for the funeral.
You didn't even leave me the joy of giving him presents.
We had an agreement.
Yes, we did.
But now you have to honour it too.
You must find the killer.
You needn't ask me.
I'll find him if it's the last thing I do.
I loved Nino.
I don't want to know.
Just do what you have to do.
"My Dad is forty-eight.
"But the best character in my family is Uncle NuZZo.
" These were the last words Nino wrote in his notebook.
His special family cost him dearly.
I have a suggestion for our fearless force.
Why not ask the kind uncle how he pays for all his gifts? Find this journalist.
I want to talk to him.
Where are you going? Sara Sara! Where have you been? Answer me.
What are you doing here? - You killed Dad and Antonio.
- What? What are you talking about? What you taught me wasn't true.
I should have killed you, not them! Go get her.
The whole town is in mourning for Nino and his mother.
Our people and institutions have reaffi rmed the truest values of our society.
I n the words of the mayor, "A handful of criminals won't tarnish this town's reputation.
" What's your involvement with NuZZo Marciano? I saw you with him in the shop.
He's the same man who picked up Nino at school.
Did you tell the judge? No.
But I will, if you don't tell me the truth.
Who is he? Answer me.
He was in the shop when they killed those poor souls.
Those poor souls were extortionists.
And NuZZo was doing the same before them.
Why didn't you tell the judge? Because I don't care if they kill each other.
Then it was NuZZo who killed them.
I've always tried to keep you out of this.
Out of what? What did you try to keep me out of? See this tiny gadget? I need a steady hand to work with it.
I can't do it any more.
For six months now I jump at every noise.
There's a war going on and I won't get involved.
What about the boy? He died because of that war.
I'm a victim just like him.
I've paid 200 million lire to those thieving bastards.
And I should be concerned if they kill each other? But he was only seven.
I don't want to know! Whose side are you on? Leave the girl to me.
She's mine.
You mustn't lay a finger on her.
You just take care of those other punks.
I'll take care of the rest.
Don NuZZo, Sarcone's here.
I don't want to see him.
Why don't you want to see me? - What do you want? - Personally, nothing.
But there's someone who wants to talk to you.
I'll see him in the morning.
Not tomorrow.
Tonight.
And call your men off.
There'll be no war tonight.
You can't go in.
You carry germs.
There's something I must ask Don Aragonese.
Why does he need you when he has him? How do you feel? There isn't a drop of my own blood left in my veins.
This wretched disease is eating me alive.
The countess is complaining that you've started a war with that gang against my orders.
And he was betrayed by a girl he took into his home.
Like a fool.
Granchio's daughter.
They've killed my son.
I must avenge him.
I must do it for your reputation too.
If I don't act now I'll lose face in this town and so will you.
You say you're concerned for my reputation.
But you've shown no regard for it.
Why didn't you tell me you had a son? His mother was married.
I decided to let her and her husband bring him up.
So that he'd be safe from my enemies.
Nobody needed to know.
Am I your enemy? Were you afraid of me too? I too had three sons.
They were all killed in the 1970 war.
I suffered like a dog, just like you now.
But the Family asked me to make peace with those who ordered their deaths.
It was necessary for business.
Today I must ask you to do the same.
No.
As far as I knew, you didn't have a son.
So you don't have anybody to aVenge.
As you wish, Don Aragonese.
That's better.
Remember that the countess speaks for me too.
You may go now.
The trucks arrive in a few days.
We should replace NuZZo with Sarcone.
No.
I need Sarcone here.
NuZZo doesn't know what's in the trucks.
He won't be tempted.
It's a moonless night.
The stars are hiding.
It's a night too dark for dreaming.
Just a second.
I have to leave you now.
My guest has arrived.
A hero.
Or rather, a heroine.
Guess who she is.
That's right, it's the fearless magistrate.
The woman of your dreams.
And maybe of mine too.
Giorgio Rambaudo, aged 58.
Accountant.
Married, two sons.
Elected mayor with the help of Mafia-run electorates.
Lucio Panarea, aged 40.
Driving force of Diana TV, the highest-rating network in town.
Daniele Rannisi, aged 25.
Broadcasting licence expired.
Stepson of businesswoman Olga Camastra.
Real estate assets estimated at 200 billion lire.
Is that all? I thought it was more than that.
Anyway, that's my family's.
Personally, this is all I have.
It's cosy and comfortable.
And if I don't like the view, I change it.
Nino's uncle is NaZareno Marciano, the worst extortionist in town.
- How do you know? - I have my sources.
I'm not interested in hearsay.
I need evidence.
I'm a journalist.
I nformation is my bread and butter.
Why should I share it with you? To help me find who killed a little boy.
Don't take it personally, but I don't like judges.
I don't like handcuffs, prisons, bars And it's always the underdogs who pay, like Rodio.
Don't you believe in anything? I only believe in what I say and in the life I've chosen.
But I'll never believe in Truth, Justice, I nstitutions and all the other big words.
You're just like the others.
You enjoy rocking the boat, but when things get serious, you run for cover.
Like your fellow citiZens.
NuZZo is Nino's real father.
How do you know? Let's say NuZZo is a friend of the family.
- What do you mean? - You're asking too much.
- That's better than nothing.
- Thanks for the coffee.
This is Radio Tam Tam wishing you good night.
Everybody tells me to grow up and settle down.
But I'm like Peter Pan.
If I grew up, I wouldn't be able to fly any more.
What was your relationship with the Rodios? Giuseppe Rodio and I are old friends.
You're also friends with the Granchio family.
The father is killed before he can talk to me and then you take the daughter into your home.
Rosario Granchio was also my friend.
Is it a crime to help a friend by giving his daughter a job? Anyway, Sara is not at my place any more.
That girl isn't thinking straight.
Maybe that's because just days after her father's death someone killed her boyfriend in a protection-racket war.
Have you anything to say about that? You could at least give me a standard answer.
My client has no information relevant to this case.
- Just as I thought.
- May we go now? Not yet.
Do you intend to avenge the death of your son Nino? I don't have any sons.
I only have friends.
Remember the last words of Nino Rodio's composition? If you guess who the fabulous Uncle NuZZo really is you'll discover a well-kept secret of our fair city and you can win a great record by Bastard! Just like that slut Camastra.
What do you want now? Ah, the rent money.
Here, take it.
Marcella and Nino have been dead a week.
What have you done to avenge them? Take this.
And find yourself a woman if you can.
I had a woman.
You took her from me.
And that wasn't enough.
Remember what you said? "Do me a favour, Rodio.
"Keep Marcella with you, for appearances' sake and for Nino.
" I had to accept, swallowing my pride.
Didn't I keep the whole family? You enjoyed the good life too.
The good life? You must be kidding.
I was a guest in my own home, in my bed.
The good life! My life's been hell.
At first I hated your son.
But I'm incapable of hating.
I'm weak, as you say.
I grew to love Nino as if he were my own son.
But you didn't love him as much as I did.
You didn't protect them and you haven't even avenged them.
Who will avenge them? You? Go home.
I've no time for this shit.
What are you going to do? What you're incapable of doing.
Weather report.
It's a lovely clear night.
There's tension in the air.
We're expecting a change Fight fear with courage We're sticking it up NuZZo.
Today the Porta Garibaldi gang asked to join us.
And Ninni Carbone of the illegal casinos wants our protection.
What did you say to him? I said we accept if he gives us 20 percent on the bets.
People are paying us protection and NuZZo hasn't lifted a finger.
But when he finds out, we're finished.
You're just scared.
We must act now and show him up for the coward he is.
You did it.
You took my son.
You killed my wife and my son.
Why did NuZZo send you? You're not involved in this.
They were my wife and son.
Who else should have come? It had to be me.
If I pull the trigger you're nothing any more.
He didn't want to kill me.
He wanted to prove he had the guts to do it.
They left him in Casualty.
He's critical.
Rodio Who did it? Tell me who did it.
Nino is mine.
Nino is my son now.
Rosario is dead too Saverio has gone.
You had to know the truth.
Let go of me! Hold this in your hands.
It will warm you during the journey.
I n Russia we say While the coal is burning, somebody's waiting for you.
When the fire goes out, somebody's thinking of you.
You'd better forget me.
I'd be no good for you.
- Saverio! - Chiara! Why are you going back to Sicily? Why are you leaving me? You're Chiara? And who are you? He wanted you here to say goodbye.
The court finds the defendant Camastra not guilty.
What solicitor? Ah, yes.
Put him on.
Good morning.
No, I'm sorry.
I haven't had time for your client's case.
The Chief Judge gave me the file and Stefano Mura? Yes, here it is.
Stefano Mura Theft.
Could we possibly discuss it tomorrow? Wait a minute.
Electronic theft from Camastra Enterprises.
I've changed my mind.
Is it possible to see him now? Fine.
The computer expert accessed Camastra's database repeatedly transferring sums of money to his own account.
- It's an unusual procedure.
- He's an unusual defendant.
Fancy keeping a man who steals from home under house arrest.
It was a sort of prank.
He returned everything.
- Who's playing music? - That's him.
Actually, it's very simple.
Camastra had offered a scholarship for young musicians.
I came first in the contest but they gave the scholarship to the mayor's son who is actually tone deaf.
I got so mad that I took it back.
With that? Yes.
Could we have a minute alone? As you wish.
I found that the access key to Camastra's database was a combination of electromagnetic signals.
Not unlike a musical score.
The rest was easy.
It's like working out a song from the initial notes.
Child's play.
There.
We're inside the system.
This is the salary file for the employees.
I only had to add my name to have what was rightfully mine.
So you have access to all her financial transactions.
Yes.
But I promise I'll never do it again.
I wouldn't be so hasty.
I need a small favour.
I need to know if she has links with NaZareno Marciano.
Why don't you ask her? I see.
Red tape, delays There he is.
Marciano, NaZareno.
He's classified as a security guard.
Not a bad salary for that kind of job.
10 million! - Anything else? - No, that's all for now.
How about revoking the house arrest? You're still just as dangerous.
However I want to give you a chance.
Would you like to work for me? - Judge Conti is here.
- Did she say why? - No.
She's coming up.
- Show her in.
- Please sit down.
- Thank you.
I hear you moved out of my house.
Wasn't it spacious enough? Quite the contrary.
But that's not why I'm here.
As you know, we're investigating the Rodio murders.
We've been deeply affected by that tragedy.
People are scared and that's bad for business.
I hadn't thought of that side-effect.
I need information on your employee NaZareno Marciano.
Marciano? Yes, I think he works for me.
Why? We've had a report on him.
I've listened to my stepson's broadcast too.
He'll never grow up.
To him people are good or evil.
And Marciano's evil.
I n the past he was a bit of a hot-head but now he's just a loyal security man.
He offers you protection like the protection he offers to suburban shops.
I don't check on my employees' records.
If he's committed a crime, it's up to you to find out.
To me, he's just a watchman who does his job well.
- Everything all right? - Yes, Countess.
- Where's NuZZo? - He hasn't come.
Those punks are making trouble.
I'm standing in for him.
I want him here.
Day and night.
Yes, Countess.
Doctor Corinto, please.
Activate the scrambler.
Our friend from the court of justice came to see me.
You assured me she didn't suspect anything.
I don't think she does.
But I'm nervous about it.
She's obsessed with the past.
She's come about Granchio.
I'm afraid she could reopen that old story.
Is she investigating those old files again? No, but I'm worried.
We must try to send her away.
I'll try to solve this problem too.
I still have a few friends.
- But she'll be hard to convince.
- All right.
There's a rumbling noise rising from deep beneath the city.
Like a tremor heralding an earthquake.
It will be our own Big One.
And when it's over, not many people will be left standing.
The cold wind of fear is blowing in every street tonight sweeping away anyone who doesn't bend to it.
It's the same wind that has swept away women and children.
Don't listen to that idiot.
The old warlords can't keep up the pace.
They're giving way to the new shining stars.
The barbarians of the 21 st century.
The Barroti gang.
PAI D NU ZZ O MARCI ANO Ready.
Let's go.
Is there still some fool who won't give in? If you're out there, step forward.
We must shout their names.
That's what Radio Tam Tam is going to do.
Watch out, punks.
You think you own this city, you roam the streets But you're mistaken.
This city is fed up.
It has exhausted its reserves of fear.
This city can't take it any more.
Watch out.
You think you're strong and powerful.
But one voice is all it takes to stop you.
A whisper is all it takes.
Rannisi! We don't like the music you play on your shitty radio.
Change it or we'll do it for you.
It's quicker to change stations.
I'm fond of my music.
Why don't you enjoy the countess's money and stop meddling in people's affairs? Life is short.
Want to throw it away? Look at those pretty colours.
Next time it's petrol.
Let's go, boys! Open up, Altofonte.
It's payday! Have you forgotten? - Let's call the police.
- Don't be stupid.
Open the door or we will.
The inspector, please.
It's urgent.
Attention all cars.
Extortion attempt under way.
Go to Via dei Mille to assist I nspector Breda.
- You bastard! - I didn't do it.
Let's go! Shit! - What did they want? - I told you.
They're clients.
Why did your wife call us then? My wife has fragile nerves.
Just report them.
It's in your interest.
Save your lectures for school.
Nothing.
We searched all night.
Thanks for your cooperation.
If you change your mind, call me.
I'll be ready to listen.
It's easy for you to judge.
I'm not judging you.
I'm just looking at you.
You've changed.
I'm still the same.
Then I've changed.
What do you mean? I can't take it any more.
Goodbye Bye.
Goodbye, Miss.
- Aren't you going home, Miss? - No, not today.
Goodbye.
I'm doing something wrong.
The situation keeps worsening.
- We're doing our best.
- Obviously it's not enough.
They're afraid of talking to us.
I can't persuade them.
They're scared.
If I could lay my hands on those crims But you can't.
A surprise for you.
It came a little while ago.
- What is it? - A letter from the ministry.
You must be happy.
I can't leave.
Not now.
Why not? The inspector's here.
And if he needs me, I'm here.
- Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.
Good news? I don't know.
I have to go to Rome.
What do we do here? Don't worry, I'll manage.
I had my doubts too.
The procedure for these appointments is not usually so straightforward.
So I made a few enquiries on the seriousness of the offer.
This new UN drug enforcement agency will avail itself of skilled men and vast resources.
- Why do they want me? - Because you're the best.
I don't know.
Maybe they want me out of Sicily.
Yes, that's possible.
That's why I wanted to see you.
- What have you found out? - I'm sure Aragonese's alive.
What evidence do you have? None.
But I can't drop this investigation.
You can count on my support.
But frankly, I wonder Can we waste such an opportunity? They're hard to come by.
It's international recognition for our work.
And you'll be more helpful to us in that position.
Remember, I can always replace you in Sicily.
I'd send a capable young man.
I'll have to think about it.
But for once think of yourself as well.
When did you last take a walk without a police escort? You don't have to be in the trenches to win a war.
But if you decide to stay there, you'll have my complete support.
Let's wait for the judge to return.
Her statement is based on her husband's words.
It's not enough to arrest NuZZo.
- It's enough to detain him.
- What's your plan? Never mind.
Then you take responsibility.
Having second thoughts? No.
There was an apostrophe missing.
My husband, Mario Altofonte, told me on the said day, that he was the victim of extortion by NaZareno Marciano.
I learned that Marciano was in conflict with a rival gang over their respective extortion activities.
On that matter, I learned from the same source that the above-mentioned NaZareno Marciano is responsible for the double murder committed near my husband's business premises.
- Who are you looking for? - NaZareno Marciano.
What do you want? You're under arrest for murder and Mafia-style association.
- Is that all? - That's all.
Rocco, book me a restaurant table for tonight.
Look.
He can't harm you.
You have nothing to fear.
He'll get out eventually.
He won't, if you confirm the allegations.
I'm sorry, I can't.
I just can't.
Mario, think about it.
I'm scared too.
Please don't desert me.
All right.
Who'll sanction the arrest if Conti isn't back tomorrow? - She'll be back.
- What if she isn't? Give them witness protection tonight.
Okay.
Escort them upstairs.
We'll stay here.
Camastra Enterprises What is it, Mario? That damn bitch! Stop here.
But it's unwise.
Pull over, please.
I want to go for a stroll.
You said it.
You wrote it That he was irresponsible.
A pathetic man who lived in a world of his own.
Yes.
That's exactly how it was.
You wrote that he didn't play by the rules, that he was headstrong and never backed down.
Ridiculous, isn't it? And he was ambitious.
He wanted to go far.
This is how far he's gone.
Write that down.
I swear, Corrado I'll never back down until I find them.
All of them.
For now they're just well-founded rumours, but it seems Judge Conti has decided to accept a prestigious international appointment as head of a UN drug enforcement agency.
This will be the apex of a long and prestigious career.
Judge Conti, please.
Try the restaurant.
It's urgent.
Did she leave a message for I nspector Breda? No message, thank you.
one of our best investigative teams.
Cattani and Judge Conti, who became companions in life as well as at work, achieved unequalled results in the fight against crime Chief Judge Orione, please.
So, are you sure? You're not confirming your wife's statement? Of course he does.
Give him time.
You made a commitment.
You can't let us down now.
That's enough, Your Honour.
The witness has already stated his position.
Can't you see? He's terrified of that bastard.
I nspector! Another word and I'll send you out.
So Do you confirm your wife's allegations or don't you? Well? Bloody thing! Wait.
Let me buy the new I nspector Cattani a coffee.
Watch it, you shit! It's pointless.
What's going on? If Altofonte had signed Do you know why he didn't? He crumbled face to face with NuZZo.
If he hadn't done it now he'd have done it in court.
- What should I have done? - Waited.
He'd have come round eventually.
And now he won't.
All right.
I screwed up.
But where were you? Celebrating your promotion? What are you talking about? I'm not Cattani.
I never will be.
- Sorry.
Find another one.
- Get out! We'll talk when you calm down.
Anyhow, I'm not going anywhere.
You can't just walk in there! Never mind.
I don't want any dramas.
And I'm busy.
You dishonoured my bills just as I had to give evidence.
Know what happens if I tell the judge? Nothing.
I have every right to collect my debts.
You're in with Marciano.
He uses extortion, you send us broke then buy us up for a song.
Calm down.
If you'd gone against NuZZo your business would be at risk and I'd lose my money.
But I believe you've retracted.
Halt the distraint proceedings against Altofonte.
See? I'm not so mean after all.
I just hope that one day someone has the courage to send you to jail.
Courage is a fine quality.
But very rare, my dear Altofonte.
Hold this in your hands.
I t will warm you during the journey.
I n Russia we say While the coal is burning, someone is waiting for you.
When the fi re goes out, someone's thinking of you.
Someone's taken these disks from the safe and has copied them.
The director said only you had the key, apart from him.
I didn't do it.
I know nothing about it.
She says she doesn't know anything! Now you'll tell me where your friend Saverio Bronta's gone.
Because if you don't, I'll have to hurt you.
Come on, let's go.
We have to get out.
Come on, there's no time.
Go! Jump! Don't be afraid, jump! - I can't - Jump! - Now we're brothers, Saverio.
- Brothers.
Damn my rotten legs They don't support me any more.
Take me back to bed.
It's no use.
That judge wants to put me in jail.
She doesn't know I'm already locked inside a jail This sick old body of mine.
Now go, Sarcone.
I want to talk to NuZZo.
Are you happy, then? The countess has dealt with Altofonte for you.
It must have been in her interest too.
I don't expect you to thank her.
Friends have told me something that makes my blood boil.
I can't afford to let that happen.
They told me an old acquaintance of yours is back.
Someone who got away from you once before.
Saverio Bronta.
But maybe it's good that he has come back.
He's the last one left.
Apart from you.
But you're my godson.
You must take that thorn from my side.
But this time, no mistakes.
Or I'll think that you care more for him than for me.
What's that pen-knife for? It belonged to me a long time ago.
I had lost it.
But today somebody sent it to me.
Tell me, Rocco, do you have a friend? I mean a real friend, not an associate.
His name is Ranuccio.
But he lives in Argentina.
He comes home at Christmas.
What do you do when you meet? Do you really want to know? On Christmas Eve our families get together.
The women talk about the kids, we exchange presents.
Then we talk about his work.
He left 10 years ago and has a greengrocer's stall.
He hasn't made any money.
But I love him, because we grew up together.
Stop here.
There's something I have to do.
Do you need me? No.
I have to do it myself.
You should have stayed away for everyone's sake.
This won't save you.
If you want to do it, do it now like you did with all the others.
I was following orders.
We were like brothers.
We trusted each other.
- Now we're brothers, Saverio.
- Brothers.
I couldn't save the others.
I almost got myself killed to let you escape.
This time I can't help you.
- Why have you come back? - Because that wasn't a life.
I spent six years there.
And all the time I had one thought.
To return.
I kept thinking about what happened.
Day and night.
Remember what you told us? It's the chance of a lifetime.
And it was.
The others are dead, I lost everything and you? - What did you gain from it? - I gained this city.
Aragonese gave it to me.
Are you sure about that? Think about it.
Who's in charge here? Think a couple of shops is all there is? You're just a servant who isn't allowed to handle the silver.
You get the leftovers but you must keep quiet.
They've used you too.
Don't you want to know what I've come to tell you? I n Russia I saw a ship full of money.
It came from here.
From your city.
From your masters.
Out.
Everybody out.
Open a container.
I don't want anybody here.
Get out.
If you're lying, our friendship is worthless.
I'll kill you.
You have to trust me.
Help me.
The stuff is hidden behind these.
They told me there were drugs in here.
I thought it was a smuggling operation.
For this they wouldn't let me aVenge my son.
They're getting away with the Family's money.
This isn't just Mafia money.
This is a veritable treasure.
Billions of dollars.
And this is only one load.
The dirty money of the whole country is in here.
Aragonese and Camastra are just the caretakers.
Behind them there are important people.
And right now they're scared.
Do you know who's expecting this money in Russia? Corinto.
What do you plan to do? I want to renew our pact.
Yes? You shouldn't have rejected that appointment.
We sent you a letter of promotion.
It's under the door.
What's going on? They sent me this.
That was six years ago.
How does this thing work? Give it a solid tap.
No, not like that.
Wait.
Try with both hands.
So it won't slip.
Again.
Again.
