Buffoni with an 'i'.
Ruggero Buffoni.
Fabio Marconi.
Full name? Fabrizio Soleri.
Turn to the right.
Pietro Proietti, known as Lebanese.
Look, they've painted the walls.
The neon lighting still isn't working though.
And the stink of sewers is the same.
Regionacoeli Prison is close to my heart, it's the past that won't leave me.
- I'll take this one.
- I'll sleep here.
- I'll take the bottom bunk.
- Come on.
Who's this you've put me in with? Speak only when you're spoken to.
Two minutes to lights out! Two minutes and we're turning the lights out.
Home from home.
A search warrant? - To search what? - Everything! You can keep it as tidy as you want, it's still a cell.
Exercise! Exercise! Exercise! - When did Proietti move in here? - Two weeks ago Everything is still in boxes.
Have you seen this place? It must be at least 200 square metres.
Not bad for an unemployed man, eh? Yes.
Did you find anything in the other homes? No, nothing.
We'll take this as evidence.
- What about the fugitive? - Who, Bufalo? No luck so far.
He's out of town.
Canton, you stay here.
I'll check out the bar.
Who have they put you in with? This old guy.
Have you been questioned? No, no one knows anything.
Reckon it's for drugs? They would have taken the runners too.
But they've only arrested us all.
Not quite all.
Your friend Bufalo is missing.
- So? Bufalo is no rat.
- There are others still outside.
Sardo, Ricotta, Trentadenari, where are they? Who is that? - Cannizzaro's fourth brother.
- Nice guy.
Like hell! Why did we have to bump into him? Proietti, De Angelis, Soleri, Fabiani Fabiani, the Buffoni brothers and Marconi, to the interview room.
Follow me.
This way.
Franco, I need your help.
The cops have arrested everyone.
Lebanese, Dandi, Freddo.
All of them, - What are they charged with? - I don't know.
Listen.
Tell your nephew to organize a meeting with Ricotta and Trentadenari.
- I'll let you know.
Now get out, they're here.
Go out the back way.
Mr Solenghi, we need to search this place.
Do you know the Cannizzaro brothers? Never heard of them, Speak into the microphone.
Sergio Buffoni coming live from Prison Radio! If you insist, I can sing you something.
Any preferences? Do you know that song: "I'm in prison and Mum's Dying"? - Do you know Baron Gualtiero Rosellini? - Baron Rosellini? I don't hang around with aristocrats.
May 19th 1977? A year ago.
"Mrs Rosellini?" "Listen carefully.
The Baron's fine but" This is the voice of the guy who made the calls.
Here we have vocal samples of the suspects.
We have to isolate the common words and compare them.
If the caller is one of these, the sound waves will be identical.
Let's start with this one.
Pietro Prioetti, known as "Lebanese".
"Mrs Rosellini?" "Listen carefully.
The Baron's fine but" "Baron Rosellini.
.
" "don't talk to anyone" "Baron Rosellini?" "Baron Rosellini" "Baron Rosellini?" "Baron Rosellini?" This obviously isn't him.
It wasn't Lebanese.
He would have been stupid to make the calls himself.
- How long for the other 6? - About a week.
- Before Monday.
- Monday? Monday.
The judge won't let us hold them any longer.
You can sleep soundly, Bufalo.
Vasta is the best criminal lawyer in Rome.
He defended the entire Marsigliese clan.
Eight acquittals and two suspended sentences, right? Of course.
And as far as business is concerned you don't have to worry.
Trentadenari and I will take care of everything while Lebanese is inside.
Wine? - What do you want me to do? - I told you.
Have a sleep.
You were lucky today, but as they say:- "You don't hit lucky forever".
Bon appetit.
Here is the accusation, they've been heavy-handed.
Multiple murder and kidnapping.
They've found the bodies? How did they do that? We don't know.
For the moment, .
.
the only thing they've found, are the banknotes from the ransom, so all they have is money laundering.
- Is that all they arrested us for? - No.
They must have something, but they're keeping it from us.
The Prosecutor has until Monday to supply the evidence.
Then we'll know what they are playing at.
You could be out by Tuesday.
Who's looking after business? That's not my area.
I'm the one paying you.
I'll say what's "your area".
Ricotta and Trentadenari.
What about Sardo? He's gone into hiding for a while.
Always on the front line, eh? One more thing, my mother doesn't know yet.
Talk to her.
See if she needs anything.
OK.
- Have you got a second, Fierolocchio? - Of course.
We need to ask you something.
Unlike the lawyer .
.
I don't care how we get out.
I want to know how we got in.
Who saw you bury the bodies? - Which bodies? - The baron and the Cannizzaros.
Nobody, or they'd have found them before now.
Then it must have slipped out; a friend or whore.
What? We've buried too many to screw it all up.
There's a Judas amongst us, and I will find him.
Lebanese.
It's my fault.
I told Gemito.
What did you say? We were drunk; I told him about the baron, and the bodies.
What else did you tell him? Nothing.
Only where the baron was.
Gemito is Terribile's dog.
He's the traitor.
Exercise over! Back to your cells! Get a move on! Quick! Lebanese.
Don Macri wants to see you.
You're not doing badly.
Why has Cannizzaro got it in for you? - An old grudge.
- And how! You killed three of his brothers.
Don't worry, sleep soundly.
He works for me, he obeys my orders.
- Like everyone else in here.
- What do you want? I hear that you have a nice drug racket.
- I need people like you in Rome.
- We're happy on our own thanks.
On your own? What about Terribile? - I hear you work for him.
- You heard wrong.
He works for us, like everyone else out there.
But you're in here now, where I'm in charge.
You've created a nice kingdom here.
Kid, you are spitting in the face of fortune.
Calabro, Let me tell you something.
If I were you, I wouldn't sleep soundly.
What the fuck are they staring at? Lebanese, .
.
was it wise to tell that boss to fuck off? Perhaps we could come to some agreement.
After all, we allied with the state to look for Moro.
I don't work for anyone.
Right, but we're the ones who won't be sleeping soundly.
They've ruled out two more voice samples.
We can't depend on those tapes alone.
Perhaps it was Bufalo.
- Any other ideas? - Yes.
That person going around with Dandi's money.
- Perhaps she can testify.
- No, she won't.
What about the fur coat we found at Lebanese's? It was probably a present, and a very costly one too.
You think he has a whore, like Dandi? Maybe one who's more talkative.
I don't know.
Find out where he bought that fur coat, and why.
Where's Angelina? She's not coming.
We need to talk man to man.
It's a misunderstanding.
The lawyer says we'll be out in 3 days.
Good, you can face your responsibilities.
What do you mean? Angelina's pregnant.
What? I'm going to be a grandfather.
Have you come all this way to sit there and say nothing? - What do you want me to say? - Are you still angry? You are, but you came anyway.
I'm glad you did.
How is Roberta? - What does she know about all this? - She knows everything I know.
What did you tell her? She was with you when they took you.
Do you want me to insist that you're a builder? You could have said something else.
She's your woman, you should have.
When you were outside.
You could have chosen the right words then.
Words.
Words are dangerous.
Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad, what are you doing here? You're Fabrizio aren't you? Your dad's told me a lot about you.
Wait! I don't want to give you a lecture.
Listen.
Let me just say something.
Think carefully before you tell anyone what you've seen.
Words can be dangerous.
How come you're back so late? I called the building site, they said you left an hour ago.
I'll have to get rid of that car.
The belt broke again.
Again? I called in at the mechanic but he didn't have a spare part.
It's a miracle I got home.
- Aren't you eating? - I'm not hungry.
- Eat up, it'll go cold.
- I like it cold.
We have something in common after all.
No one ever comes to see us.
Proietti, you have a visitor.
I was wrong.
It's not visiting time.
Don't keep your mother waiting.
Are you sure it's my mother? - Wait here.
- Why? Because I say so.
Proietti, what the fuck are you doing here? - Sorry, I got lost.
- Take him back to his cell.
Any news from the outside world? Nothing new and nothing good.
Problems of the heart, Freddo? If you don't want any worries in life, you have to buy women.
A lesson I learned a long time ago.
Mario! Where are you? Come see who's here! That's her! She's hot! They've ordered almond milk and a milky coffee.
You're a pal.
Nice milk.
Did you make it? No.
I mean, yes.
- May I have your autograph? - Of course.
- What's your name? - Mario.
To Mario with affection Tamara.
Here you are.
Hey kid.
Do you fancy her? Do you want to buy her? Then start saving your money.
Real women cost a fortune.
Let's go Dandi, it's getting late.
Freddo, don't cry over a woman.
Pay one and get it over with.
Like you with Patrizia? That's right.
Like me with Patrizia.
Somebody tried to kill Lebanese.
- He bought it for his mother? - Three million lire in cash.
Even killers have mothers, right? I'll go and talk to his mother.
If he bought her the coat, they must be very close.
"Return Aldo Moro back to freedom" ".
.
his family and civil life".
As if they'd listen! The only true catholics in Italy are the Red Brigades.
Don't you know? Let's attend to more urgent matters.
How far has Scialoja got with the Magliana gang? - I don't think - You think too much.
Check it out, and act accordingly.
I told you.
We can't sleep soundly in here.
Is it worth starting a war right now? - We might be out on Monday.
- Don't you get it? If we don't do something, we won't live to Monday, What are you going to do? What we've always done.
First we took Rome, now we're going to take this jail.
You can't smuggle guns in here, it's too risky.
I only need a blade.
I can get you a knife, But it will cost a million lire.
Payment in advance.
A million in cash? To be delivered today to the family of Flavio Corbucci, an inmate in the first wing.
- What trouble are you up to? - No trouble.
Just a generous gesture.
What about the inquiry? It's going OK.
The police lab still hasn't found anything.
- Did you talk to my mother? - Yes.
What did she say? Nothing.
But she wasn't surprised.
No, I haven't seen my son for months, and I don't know what life he leads.
I just want you to talk to him.
Convince him to collaborate.
It will be worse if we nail him.
He'll get a life sentence.
What if he gets out? With all the enemies he's made he won't get very far.
You talk to him, you're the only one who can.
Commissioner, see this coat? It's got more patches than cloth.
I could have done with a fur coat.
Bit I can't accept presents from a dead man.
And I don't even know how to talk to him.
Keep reading, Grandfather.
Both of you, outside! - What the fuck! Not like that! - Be quiet! Give me a hand.
Put him in isolation! Come on, get a move on.
You're not as bright as they say you are then.
Smuggling a knife into prison with all the snitches about.
Why don't you give us a tip? I already have.
Come and work for me, it will solve all your problems.
- What do you say? - I might have considered it.
But we have this nasty allergy.
We could never work for others.
I think you're right, we're not that bright.
Please yourselves.
I'll send a wreath to your funerals.
There's one thing the old man's right about, they don't let guns in here.
How will we take out Cannizzaro? They've even taken our shoelaces.
Unless - Is the chapel open today? - What do you have in mind? I need a moment's silence.
What's this? - Where did this come from? - Never seen it before.
We found it in your bed.
It's only been mine for a week.
I don't know who slept there before.
- It might be your cellmate's eh? - Perhaps.
Why don't you ask him? I did.
He's confessed.
So you can stop talking crap.
Take him back to his cell.
I met your mother yesterday.
What did you tell her? Nothing.
I just asked her who will take care of her when she's left on her own.
Exercise! Lebanese I've found you a blade.
- What is it? - The chapel, I stole it.
It's the priest's crucifix.
It'll do for Cannizzaro.
God does move in mysterious ways.
I have to go.
Why me? Because you got us arrested.
Are you crazy? Watch out! Guards! Guards! Guards! Out of the way! Take him to the infirmary! It's not worth working for you.
See what happened to Cannizzaro? What do you want? Listen, I give the orders in here from now on, and you will obey.
Or next time you'll be explaining to the Almighty.
Do you know what the magistrate said about our investigation? "Borgia" "You're not wasting men and means" ".
.
that could be used to find out where Moro's being held?" - So it's our fault if they kill him? - Your fault, .
.
you're even a communist.
If the lab doesn't come up with a result today the judge won't allow us any more time.
We'll have to let them go.
- Scialoja.
- Commissioner, we've found him.
The guy who made the calls was Lucio Fabiani, known as Scrocchiazeppi.
- Hail to the king who's leaving us.
- Yep.
Macri has got himself moved to a prison in the south.
All honour to the new king.
We've conquered the palace in ten days.
As soon as we get out of this dung heap -.
.
we'll sort out a situation that's getting out of control.
- Terrible.
We have to thank him for this pleasant stay.
It seems to be demagnetised.
Didn't you make a copy? I worked on the original so as not to lose the quality.
- You didn't make a copy? - I followed procedure.
It's the first time that a piece of evidence has been destroyed.
Not destroyed, stolen! We'll open an inquiry, but we need something to take to the judge.
Or they'll be released.
We have nothing to use.
Your source, Dandi's mistress.
- She can nail them all.
- She'll never talk.
There are thousands of ways to get your witness to talk.
You can blackmail, bribe or trick her.
Don't tell me you're sleeping with her? It's time to make a choice.
Look who's here.
I have 30 minutes free.
I'm here for work reasons.
Are you going to throw me in jail, like Dandi? You could at least have had a shave.
What do you want, Scialoja? I don't know.
Get out! I wanted to thank you, for helping me with that knife business.
Better me than you.
I have two life sentences to serve.
What else could they do to me? Two life sentences? Who are you? What's your name? - Gerardo.
- Gerardo the Barbarian? You were my hero when I was a kid! What's happened to you? You grow old in jail What about your gang? What happened to them? One was shot during our last robbery.
Another died of cancer.
And a third of a heart attack in San Vittore.
I'm the only one left.
You've chosen the wrong hero.
Is that your daughter? She's three years old here.
I took this photo before I ended up in jail.
15 years ago.
I bet she's beautiful now.
I wouldn't know.
Her mother's not let me see her since.
I'm getting out.
Can I do anything for you? They let you out then! Not as lucky as you.
Scialoja had some evidence, a tape with Scrocchiazeppi's voice on it, but some friends in high places .
.
got rid of it at the last minute.
But these friends weren't able to get my mother to come.
I told her you were getting out but she was busy.
Want a lift there? No.
Take me to the Prenestino, I need to see somebody.
Surprise! Public enemy number one is back on the scene! Not now, I'm with a client.
Send him away.
Tell him your man's just got out of prison.
Go home, have a shower, and get to bed.
Why? You can't just come here whenever you want for a screw.
I bought you.
You're mine, and you'll do what I tell you.
Have you finished being a pain in the ass? - Ah, your client - Yes I'm her client, and I've paid, so wait your turn.
Yes OK.
You're right, you've paid and now you have to cash in.
What did you forget? Angelina! Darling! Angelina.
So, it's true? Now what do we do? Roberta! It will only take a minute.
Why? Are you going to the yard? You're right.
I should have told you everything.
I swear to God I tried, lots of times.
- But I was afraid of losing you.
- How do you know? You might not have done.
I might even have admired your courage, but you don't have any.
I bet you're not such a good criminal either.
Hello is Mirella in? - Not right now.
Who are you? - A friend of her father.
My daughter doesn't have a father.
Wait a minute.
You can't keep pretending people don't exist.
Gerardo did what he did to give you a better life.
A better life for whom? He did what he did because he liked that life.
Men like Gerardo think only of themselves, they live and die alone.
Franco, open this door.
You can't keep it locked.
"YOU OWE US ONE" We have to celebrate.
We have to celebrate.
Lebanese arrived home and found the tape, as agreed.
Good.
Now we can concentrate on the final act .
.
of this national tragedy.
"Radio News 2, special edition" "The body of Aldo Moro has been found in Rome" "in the boot of a red Renault 4".
"The discovery was made after a phone call from The Red Brigades" "indicating the place and car where it could be found".
