DOWN WITH HITLER

SEEKING: WIFE, EVEN SECOND-HAND

Carlo!

Carlo... sorry. Carlo. Carlo! - What?

Bruneri! - Cannella...

We're in Italy! - Where, near Turin?

Nah, it's still too early! - Listen!

Isn't that wonderful?

What, are you crying? - No, I'm laughing.

Come on, come on! - We're here.

Up!

Wait, I'll only be a moment.

Didn't you swear you'd sing if you came back alive?

Right now? One second.

' A throne close to the sun! A throne close to the sun! &

Ernesto! Ernesto, wait for me, dammit!

Move along, boys. - A priest! Is there a priest here?

I'm a priest, come. - Thank you.

I can't say whose house is still standing. Many have fallen.

You went there? - I did.

How is it? - Just craters. Take the sick there!

Is number 9, Barbarossa Street... - I'm sorry, I don't know.

Don't push! Let me through.

Do you know him? - I don't.

What about him? - I don't know.

Here! They've got everything: cigarettes, food, even newspapers.

They have Il Popolo and Avanti! - See, what did I tell you?

J; O gather comrades, to revolution... & - Where's it headed?

Verona. - Quick, get in!

Wait! My chair! - This isn't your train!

It's empty, don't bother me!

I thought I was heading home, God damn you!

Transports are for us. I'm also itching to go home!

Don't leave me, please! Don't...

Calm down, you goddamned witch! I'm sick of you!

My husband. He wants to return to Italy alone, but he married me!

He married you? - Ja.

Can't be, he's got a wife and two kids already. Swear to God!

Is this OK? Is it too tight? - No, it's fine.

Is this thing leaving or what? - Now or in eight days, who knows?

Eight days? Damn them! - Give me that chair.

Come on, we're leaving.

Leave it! What are you doing? - Are you mad?

I'm taking this home if I gotta put wheels on it!

Bullshit. We're in Italy, but we can't go home!

Polizei verboten. What's the use in getting angry?

We're all making do, here! - Yeah, yeah.

How's it going? - I'm starting to feel it.

Always frozen meat. It's the same as my foot!

And they say Italy isn't the most democratic country.

Find me another place where you can do whatever you like!

What a country!

Finally! Everyone speaks Italian...

Call me deluded, but the sun is different...

The air too! There's nothing like it.

You're right, I feel like a kid again!

The air here is special.

It makes me hungry, darn it!

I'd like a big ol' steak...

A Florentine steak, with a T-bone like a handle!

I've been dreaming about it for 35 months!

With a bottle of red wine, clear as water.

A girl, that's what I'd like! - Nah.

A girl! - Those times are gone!

But the girls haven't gone anywhere!

Too bad the view has gotten so dull, huh?

We'll be rebuilding until the year 3000. - Work for everyone, then!

A job buys you food, and food makes you happy.

It all works out, problem solved.

What must Turin be like...?

Just think, this year we'll spend Christmas at home.

At home, picture that!

With my Rosetta.

I wonder if she'll recognise me.

Who knows... My family hasn't even written.

Ah, one letter in a thousand ever got through!

And a year late, at that.

My little Rosetta...

You know, I raised her from when she was a year old.

I wonder if she passed her grade.

Remember to tell her she has a new uncle!

What grade is she in? - The fourth grade.

What? - Fourth grade!

I'll make up the Christmas tree for her again.

Do you do that, with your family?

Maybe this year, since the war is over.

"Speed limit." What does that mean?

It's like "Polizei verboten."

Ow! Easy! - Sorry, sorry.

TURIN

We're here.

Easy, OK? - Give me your leg.

Easy... thanks. - Thank you!

The chair was worth more, though... - Sorry, gotta go.

Yeah, bye.

He screwed me over, I wanted to take that home.

Turin...

You're not stopping, then?

No, I'm leaving if I have to ride atop the train!

There's the streetcar. - But we'll see each other, right?

What? - Bruneri!

Cannella!

I'll see you soon, right? - Yes.

Look, I...

There's all kinds of trouble in this bloody world...

but it's not all bad, when one finds a friend like you.

A true friend. - Same. But don't cry, OK?

You must come see Rosetta, you promised. - Yes, yes.

Yes, bye. There's your tram.

Say hi to everyone, even if I don't know them.

Even your pharmacist and doctor.

And give Rosetta a kiss from Uncle Ernesto, will you?

Yes. You say hello to your mum and Maria.

Bye. - Bye.

Pardon, pardon me!

Bye! Bye, Ernesto!

Bye!

Good evening, Tecla.

Don't you recognise me? - I don't...

It's Ernesto.

Ernesto! My Franco's friend!

Let me look at you. When did you get back?

Where's Mum?

Oh, dear...

She waited for so long, your poor mother.

Poor woman...

I found her body. Your sister and I dressed her up.

Where's Maria? - I don't know.

They bombed the factory she worked at, and I never saw her again.

You didn't? 2 \[e}

What a night that was! It was horrible.

Have you seen the house?

Yes, that's her. Please, you can have it.

She took it last spring.

She wanted to send you a copy.

Are you staying?

I've got Fernet, warm milk, two eggs... - No, thanks.

Finding a room is hard, you know.

There's my poor Franco's bed.

Franco?

He was with the Matteotti Brigade.

They executed him last January.

He was your age. Ernesto, won't you stay the night?

No, no. Thank you.

Is the queue very long? - Yes, we'll be here another hour.

Six years I've been queueing! For taxes, subsidies, food stamps...

Have some patience! Back! Stand back!

Here!

Window 7, courtyard on the right, staircase B, third floor.

By numbered order, papers at the ready.

No fixed address, no stamp from the committee...

no ID, no form in triplicate...

There's nothing here, my boy!

What do you mean? Just issue my invoice.

Give me my invoice!

Without the right papers, I can't pay you.

There's my papers. Issue my invoice.

Next! - Here, Sergeant. My papers are good.

Can't you give him an advance, at least? - Mind your business!

We can't pay everyone who pretends to be a veteran.

The first few days, everyone got theirs, even pretenders.

I came from Germany. They sent me here. He sends me there.

I can't walk.

Pay him, it costs you nothing.

No.

He must come back with his ID and the form in triplicate.

He ate potatoes for two years, don't you get it?

Can't you see he can't walk? Can't you... look at him!

Enough! Out, out! Everyone out, by God!

Here's your triplicate! Here's your bloody form!

You can eat it! Eat it up!

"So, my 5,000-lira subsidy went up in smoke.

No work. Everyone acts kind, but they don't really care.

I'm glad Mum and Maria didn't get to see me like this.

Sorry about the whinging, but you're my only friend.

Give a hug to dear Rosetta.

Too bad about the five grand. I would've sent her a gift.

But I'm still her uncle, like we decided last Easter. Remember?

We still have each other. Greetings, and let's hope for the best.

Yours, Ernesto. PS: Reply poste restante."

A friend of mine. If it weren't for him...

Daddy! - Pour me some wine.

Yes?

What is it, Rosetta? - I wanna write to Uncle Ernesto!

Go to sleep now, it's late. Tomorrow, yeah?

You'll prepare a sheet of ruled paper? - Sure.

Daddy, leave the door open. - Like this?

Now sleep. - Yes, Daddy.

Night, honey. - Night!

Cheers. - Cheers.

Yes, if it weren't for him, my Rosetta would be alone now.

While we were prisoners, she was all I could think about.

Did you chain up the dog? - Yes.

What an awful day that was... about a year ago.

They moved us between camps on foot. We were freezing!

I had ice in my beard, and I was starving.

Many of us wore wooden clogs, and a blanket over our shirts.

And me with my wounded foot, wrapped in rags.

I recall a white flatland, with snow hard as rocks.

And if you stopped, you were dead.

As soon as you sat in the snow, they gunned you down.

"Mercy," they called it.

They did it to spare us the cold, or the wolves.

I saw one man stay behind, crying like a baby.

He waved at his camp-mates and he lay down to die.

20 paces later, he was a black bundle of rags, crying for his mother.

He had no strength to get up.

The SS turns around, stops for a minute...

My heart was in my throat.

My left foot had frozen three days earlier

and the wound was suppurating.

I tried to put as little weight on it as possible, but I was done for.

Ernesto didn't see it.

He walked with his eyes to the ground, like a broken horse.

The SS officer stared at me, with his gun lowered.

I thought about Rosetta and walked, but I was exhausted.

I thought I saw Rosetta in the distance, calling me.

My baby was calling me, but I had no strength to reach her.

I kept falling farther back...

Then, when the rank and file became small and far away...

Ernesto left them, and yelled one word at the German.

He ran to me, pulled me up, dragged me ahead, and said...

"Carlo, you must see your Rosetta again!"

Daddy, Daddy!

My daddy!

Daddy!

Hello, Excellency? Yes, it's me, Ernesto.

Yes, Mrs Tecla knows me well.

I have a driver's licence, and can type. I can start right away.

You could hire me for a trial run, sir. Yes, one moment.

Got a pencil? - Here.

Thank you. Go ahead.

24 Carlo Alberto Street. Thank you. Yes.

Yes, I'm nearby! Thank you very much, sir.

Found a job? - Guess we'll see!

Let it go, and think about what I said.

Thanks, but I'd prefer a normal job. Bye.

A normal job? As if there's any out there! He's out of his depth.

Never seen luck like that. Five million!

How did you miss out on a deal like that?

Five million...

If I weren't a lady, I'd say, "Kill him!"

Here, eat. Give me that dog.

It's true what they say, rude folks get all the luck.

Hey, ma'am! Hey!

ITALIAN BANK OF AMERICA FIVE MILLION LIRAS

Not inside, not outside, nothing? It's not anywhere. Wonderful!

Look in the toilet, under the table!

Don't just sit there! If you find it, I'll pay well.

See? I knew it!

You're an idiot. And me too, for trusting you!

Just call the bank tomorrow. - No, the cheque is signed already!

Anyone can cash it, at any bank. We're ruined!

Should've stashed it in your garter belt like the old times!

Isn't that how you started?

Hands off, mister.

Don't you take that tone with me.

I'm warning you, you're crossing a line.

Who could that be? - How should I know?

Stay here, it's best if I go alone.

Who is it? - Evening, madam. Can we talk?

What do you want? - It's better if I come in.

I don't know you, sorry. - Please, wait.

Didn't you just lose something? - Lose something?

Oh, sure! And you... - Indeed.

Come in, I'm terribly sorry. Please, don't mind me.

Do come in. So, you found my makeup bag?

At the restaurant. You dropped it... - Getting in the car. What a klutz!

And you came here right away? - I did.

Such a gentleman! Do come in. - It's nothing.

Please take a seat. - Thank you.

I thought I'd never see it again, you know what people are like these days...

It's this one, right? -Yes, itis.

Something to drink? - Yes, please.

Grappa? I bet you like it.

Young men like the strong stuff!

Here.

I should say... One thing is missing.

I'm sure we can find an agreement.

Cheers. - Cheerio.

Nothing's missing. Nothing at all.

Forgive me, I'll be right back. - Sure.

Please pour yourself another.

So? - Someone brought it back.

Who? - I don't know. Here's your cheque.

How much does he want? - He didn't say.

What a dope!

Let me talk, I'm better at haggling. - Yeah, yeah.

You're quite the joker. - Why?

You said something was missing, but it's all there.

Yes, that photograph... - What?

Why, do you like it? - I do.

Keep it, then! It's true to life.

Another drink?

Thank you.

I must say, if you didn't look like... - Like what?

Well, like this... that bag may not have come back to you.

But I wanted to see you again. - Dear me, how romantic.

I really wanted to.

I hadn't talked to a woman like you in three years.

Three years. That's a long time.

Yes... too long.

Where did you come from? - Germany.

And what did you do there?

I was a soldier. I know how to kill.

With a rifle, machine gun, bombs. They taught me that over a decade.

And now, what do you do? - Nothing.

Lots of people deserve to be killed...

but they tell me it's forbidden. Out of style.

What an odd guy.

I like your spirit.

Do you live here alone? - In a way, yes.

But is that something you should ask a lady?

You're right. Ladies should be asked to dance.

Why not?

What do you want? - Just to thank this kind young man.

You were very gentlemanly. Should we settle, then?

Anything to drink? - Later.

Four... - Oh, just give him ten grand!

Seven.

There. You don't want them?

Of course he does. Is that OK? - Yes.

Don't lose any more cheques, madam. Or you, sir.

Good evening. Excuse me. - I'll show you out.

Good evening, and thank you.

Good timing. He was heating up too much.

Oh, what's with you? Now pay up, if you don't mind.

100 grand in cash, 50 in penicillin. And pay for my tailor.

Let's wait for the others, we'll settle all at once.

Go to hell.

Who do you want? - The girl who just went in.

Iris? You'll have to wait. Come in. - Thank you.

It's a thousand, you know.

Your commission.

Alright. Tell him to come down. - Yes.

I'm going.

Two hammer blows to the head...

Sweetie? Here you go.

My little baby.

One second... here you go.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Door on the right.

Got it.

Well?

Ernesto...

Go away.

Leave, please, Ernesto. Go away!

Maria...

You... it's you.

Why?!

Open up! Open the door!

Go away, Armida.

It's nothing, go away.

Don't be like that, Ernesto.

Please, don't cry.

You know...

When Mum died, I... - We should leave.

Let's go up to the terrace. - No.

Go back upstairs!

Let go of me, you son of a bitch!

Maria!

Maria...

Maria!

No!

You bastard!

Help! Help!

Maria. Maria! Maria, listen to me! Listen...

Can't you hear me? Can't you hear me, Maria...?

Maria... oh, no...

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

The police.

The police! - He's up there, get him!

Oh, my poor nephew!

Make way, let us pass!

Stand back! Back!

Iris! What have they done?!

Who could it be at this hour? - Be careful.

Well? - What do you want?

Who is it? - Never seen him before.

Well, well, look who it is. What's going on?

Pardon me, gents.

What do you want? Out, get out! We can't have cops in here.

I bet it's for him. Turn him over, I don't want trouble.

No one's getting turned over, you hear me?

Leave.

Who's there? - Police.

Good evening.

Did you hear someone running down the stairs?

Down the stairs? No. Is that against the law?

A murder was committed nearby.

A murder? My God. When?

Minutes ago. Do you know the precinct's number?

Of course. What kind of question is that?

Good evening.

Evening. - Evening.

Taken care of.

Thank you. - You sure don't mess around.

Take him away.

Up, up... Hey, you. Help me.

Are you going to tell me what this is about?

Not very bright, are you? You never understand a thing.

And you. - Happy New Year!

Get your evening gazette here!

Read all the latest...

Close it tight, will you?

New criminal gang...

Hear that? With all these thieves... - Yeah, I'll say.

Maybe it's a holiday for them too! - Let's hope so.

Happy New Year. - You too.

Hello. Hello?

Yes, Commissioner. Understood, beginning transmission.

Transmitting. Urgent dispatch to all departments.

Increase surveillance in Sector B.

One squad to Barriera di Milano. Yes. Another to Corso Francia.

Suspects are dangerous and heavily armed.

Yes. Who's receiving? 3547 This is 62 transmitting.

Hello? Porta Nuova commissioner, please hold.

Yes. Line open to Porta Palazzo.

Line open to San Donato.

All ready.

Transmitting on line 456, central precinct, stop.

Urgent dispatch to all police departments.

Increase surveillance in Sector B.

One squad to Barriera di Milano. Another to Corso Francia.

Suspects are dangerous and heavily armed. Stop.

Calm down, now. Come on, calm down.

Darn it. It's late and I'm not dressed yet.

When's the heist?

As soon as Mirko's back.

Oh, good. I'll be having fun tonight.

Does it bother you?

It's not like I'm even cheating on you!

But Mirko won't give up, you know? No sir!

Yesterday, while you were out, he came and embraced me.

He kissed my shoulders, my arms...

He wanted to kiss my lips, too, but I told him no.

Two roosters in one coop.

Someone's getting pecked to death.

Right.

Who's with you tonight? - Oh, stop it. None of your business.

Here, are you happy? I got an invite.

The Green Orchid. - A golden sewer, don't you worry.

Who do you know, among those folks? - You and your stupid ideas.

There's smart people there. And if we can exploit them, why not?

Smarter than you, anyway.

One of them made millions shipping girls to South America.

Give that here, I need it.

Well? What's with the long face now?

Go on, give me a kiss...

before I put on my lipstick. - Just go, will ya?

What a night.

But I'm going to do good business, I can feel it.

♪ Love is a strange old bird... ♪

What time is it? - 10pm.

I'm starting to lose my damn patience. What's Mirko doing?

Must be out whoring, like someone I know.

I like whoring too, so what? - Right.

But this ain't the night for it. We strike at 10.30!

Happy New Year, everyone! Work tonight, huh?

Good luck. - Yeah, we're risking our neck out here.

Don't be dramatic, a couple of drinks and you'll find your courage.

Hey, Firing Squad.

Sending off the old year with gunshots, yeah?

Hi, Beast. No whoring tonight, you're working.

And you, Blondie, no you-know-what.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Women.

Quit it, it's dangerous. We get moving in a few minutes.

You drink too. It's New Year's.

Last year, I toasted with broth.

I was with Carlo. - Some taste you heroes have.

But this year, you're rich. You can afford the good stuff.

It's good.

The people you killed would've rather you hadn't come back.

Me too, perhaps.

Let me look at that... - Hey!

Where are the men?

Everywhere. We're getting them this time.

It's 10.20, they'll be here any moment.

Move! Move, boys!

Piss off.

Stop that!

What time is it?

10.30pm.

Stay here, I'll go.

They got him. - Who, Aldo?

I almost fell for it too. - Damn it, Aldo!

But how? - Someone ratted us out, that's how.

If I hadn't run off in time, it would be all of us!

The cops got tipped off, they're all there waiting for us.

That was a close call, boys.

Who talked? - Whoever did, he's dead.

More work for you, Missy. - But for tonight, it's off.

No work tonight, boys. You're free. - One second!

There is some work to do.

No, let's talk business. You're a clever one, I don't trust you.

That's too bad. You should trust me completely.

You'll see, I'm quite honest when it comes to business.

A true gentleman! - Indeed.

This is delicate business. Pays well, but requires tact... and discretion.

Do you dance, madam?

May 1? - Be my guest.

I'd so slap you right now. - Who's that guy?

None of your business.

Out with it. - I don't think we're married.

And if we were, nothing would change. Remember that.

That's the guy who makes millions shipping girls, is he?

Why are you here, anyway? What about the boys?

We had to call it off, so I thought we'd have some fun.

Police.

Happy New Year.

Where did you leave Mirko? - Mirko prefers a riskless job.

Why are you looking around like that?

Well... here we go.

I should've known you'd come to ruin my evening.

And now, a surprise! Ladies and gentlemen, to your places.

Quiet, please. Quiet. Thank you.

Get ready for square dancing!

Mr Calligaris, if you please.

Go ahead, Maestro.

Everyone in position.

Who's that? A new master of ceremonies?

Let's go dance as well.

Get ready to lead...

Dance!

Let the dames spin!

Now form a chain.

Freeze! Hands up, everyone. You too, madam, thank you.

Everyone freeze! Hands in the air, madam.

You too, with the brown hair! Wolf, watch the door.

Higher up. - Silence!

Silence!

Andrea.

That man there. Drop your trousers.

Who, me? - Yes, you.

Should we put him to sleep?

All the ladies, hand your jewels to Calligaris and your wallets to us.

Walk in a circle.

If you still have something on the second round, you'll die.

On with it!

Don't play the fool, sir, your wallet's bursting.

You must chair some charity foundation! Move along...

Go on, you bastard. Move!

Wonderful ring, madam. A family heirloom? Thanks, and sorry.

Go on, mister, spit it all out. You and your hangers-on!

All done! - Halt! Wolf, get the till.

Don't move for 15 minutes, or you're dead. Got it?

You, with me. - Me?

Quiet. Take him away! - Come here.

Is this for me? - Nice job.

Happy New Year, folks!

Let's go. - Move!

Hand me a drink.

I'm willing to make a deal. Are you also in the shipping business?

I have no wish to compete. We can share instead.

It's several million per person...

Go faster. - No! No!

What are you doing?! No, mercy! Have...

Turn on the radio.

He's the one who shipped off, this time.

Where are we spending these? - Where, you say?

I know a place. Keep going and make a right turn.

NIGHT HOSPICE FOR THE POOR

Now this I gotta see. - We're going wild tonight!

Had too much, huh?

Wake up, friends! Up, sleepyheads!

Come on down! Wake up!

I want to make this a night you'll never forget.

Give that here... it's empty!

Out of your holes. Come on, we've got enough for everyone!

Run, you slowpokes. Run!

Oh, blessed Virgin, I can't see anything in this dark!

There's enough for everyone! Come, take some! We're generous folk!

It's millionaires!

Everyone's rich tonight!

Everyone's rich!

Happy New Year, one and all!

Ernesto and his friends wish you a happy new year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to the whole city!

The whole city!

Extra, extra! Robbers steal four million liras!

Now that's publicity. Should we buy a car?

Here, sir. This is very cute, a little girl would love it.

The cat is also very popular.

Here you go, sir. I'm sure she'd like these.

Very cute.

Alright. I'll take this, the little goose

the toys, the doll, and the bunny.

Hand me the money.

How much? - 4,600.

Thank you, have a nice day. - And you, sir. Come again.

Good day to you. - And you, sir.

How much was this, miss?

Rosetta! Rosetta!

Come down here. - Coming!

Look what just came in.

Sugar, cigarettes... good Lord, coffee too!

Mr Carlo, look! Grappa and peaches in syrup.

Mother of God, that's a lot. - Daddy, look at this!

How wonderful!

But... wait, are you sure this is for us?

It says "Carlo and Rosetta Pandelli."

The courier brought it here.

I don't know what to make of this.

There's a hat, too.

A hat? Borsalino! Let me see.

It was Ernesto, then. - Uncle Ernesto, Daddy?

Sure, this is from him. - Oh, yes, yes!

He's the only one I ever told. A grey felt homburg.

It was my secret...

Wait a minute.

This moment is more solemn than you think.

"Dear Carlo, I've been doing well.

I hope you and Rosetta will accept these small gifts.

Hopefully your hat fits. It's the model you liked, right?

At least one of our dreams will have come true."

Who's this? I told you to get Claudio Mari!

Say, what's your name? - Stefano Albertini, I swear.

He's Claudio Mari, dammit!

I know our traitor, this ain't him. - You have the wrong guy!

You should've gone. Andrea and Togo don't know his face.

But when it's dangerous, you always bail.

Is it my fault that bastard gave me a fake name?

I'm a teacher. A grade school teacher.

Take him back where you found him.

What? Are you kidding?

This isn't the one! - He knows too much by now.

Put him back there. - 1 didn't do anything, let me go home!

I didn't sign up to be a butcher. - How noble!

He thinks he's the Minister of Justice. - Enough, take him home.

Pal...

You're getting on my nerves.

The boys aren't sticking out their necks for charity, like on New Year's.

Nor for this sentimental crap of yours.

It's unfair. - The whole world is.

Our skin's worth more to us than his.

Or yours, for that matter.

Need I be clearer?

You're an arsehole.

We don't know him, anyway.

No sense losing sleep over it.

OUR HOUSE

DEAR UNCLE, I'M WRITING TO THANK YOU FOR THE GIFTS

AND TO TELL YOU THAT I TOOK MY FIRST COMMUNION.

MAY THE VIRGIN MARY BE WITH YOU.

KISSES FROM YOUR NIECE, ROSETTA

Lookie here, the little niece! - Give me that!

Poor little niece, she'll grow up too.

Ernesto!

Serves you well, in a way.

I hope you can see that.

TO THE TURIN POLICE HEADQUARTERS

They ran off. Smart.

They won't go far, we know where to find them.

Hello?

Hello, Commissioner Moro?

Listen closely. If you want Ernesto and his gang

look for him tomorrow on Road 27.

Terzari Cemetery. They'll try to cross the border.

Don't sleep on it like yesterday

or the citizens won't love you anymore.

Bye.

All in order! Stamped and counter-stamped.

Have fun. - Thank you, I think I will.

Give me the dog. Come on, let's go.

85th kilometre, there it is.

If the tip's correct, they should all be there.

Block the road at 112 and 50.

Ask if they're ready.

Hello?

Field command here, are you ready?

200 men will go behind the hill, the rest down the road.

They won't escape this time. - No, sir.

The checkpoint at 112 has been active for 15 minutes.

No Fiat 2800 spotted yet.

They must be inside. - And they'll stay there.

Hands in the air.

What... what's going on?

Show me your papers, we're conducting a search.

No peace even on the road these days!

Would you prefer bandits, ma'am?

Sync up your watch: 4.50pm.

We're done in half an hour.

And remember, better dead than alive. Good luck.

What time is it?

5pm... tea time!

Goddammit! And no sign of that whore.

When did she say she'd show up?

You asked twice already. - Well, it's been an hour! What now?

We keep waiting. - Once Andrea returns, we split.

Why so nervous?

Are you worried she betrayed us, that the heist was a lie?

I didn't say that.

Would be a laugh if you fell for it too.

Don't joke around. What should we do?

Just wait.

But... - Shut up.

I want to see how this all ends. - Guys!

It's a trap! - What do you mean?

Guys... we're done for!

Carabinieri everywhere. The whore ratted us out!

And we fell for it like toddlers.

Yeah, she sent us to the cemetery! - Are you sure about this?

Yes, it's a classic sting! - Come here.

The mule trail leads to a small road. No checkpoints there, I bet.

Let's move, then! - No car, they'll be looking for it.

Goddammit! On foot, then. - Wait. How far is Rovere?

25 kilometres. - We need a car. We'll be safe there.

A friend of mine lives there, we can wait it out.

Come on, help me get him out.

Into the river! Nice shooting, Bamboo.

Andrea, check the engine. - OK.

Hurry up, Wolf.

Ernesto, what are you waiting for? Let's go already!

Leave me be!

Ernesto, leave the kid, hurry!

We should take her with us. Wait! Bring her back here.

Have you gone mad? - Let him speak.

If they catch us, they'll pump us full of lead.

But if the child's with us, well in sight, on the hood...

we'll pass through, like a knife through butter.

What an idea. You're a genius, Mirko!

Ernesto! Ernesto, hurry!

I'll get him, wait for me.

Bring her too. Hurry, we're going.

What are you doing?

Andrea, remember when we mailed those toys?

I'll be damned... it's her.

Bye. - What?

Are you trying to slow us down? - Yes, go away.

We'll see about that. - Go away, damn you!

Drop them, you know me well.

This game will cost you.

They'll kill you too, if you don't leave.

Maybe. Hands up!

Scram! Run along, Mirko.

I wish I could shoot you, but the cops'll do it for me.

Go! Go!

Rosetta.

Rosetta!

Rosetta.

Rosetta, wake up.

Daddy... ow, it hurts.

It's nothing, you'll get better soon.

Who are you?

I saved you. The car broke down.

Where were you going? Turin?

Come on, answer me.

Yes, to boarding school.

Where is Daddy's boss? - Oh, him?

He went to fix the car. I said to him:

"I'll take her home, I know her dad."

His name is Carlo! Look, here's your little purse.

Your name is Rosetta, right?

Listen... I'm your Uncle Ernesto's friend. That's right!

Uncle Ernesto? - Yes, yes.

Come, I'll take you home.

How are you, Rosetta?

Come on, let's go. Hold my hand.

Hold my hand!

You think you're old enough to walk around on your own?

Why wouldn't you hold it?

Because you're a bandit.

Come on.

They'll pay for this. Go get a stretcher.

Send Andreani to survey the valley from above.

Tell him to check in when he passes the sawmill.

Sleep, now. We must leave as soon as the moon comes up.

Are you that scared of me?

You shouldn't be afraid, Rosetta.

I won't yell at you. I'm just taking you home.

Is Uncle Ernesto really your friend?

And how!

I remember when your postcard came in, he was so happy

he said, "Look what my Rosetta wrote me!"

He made me read it so many times I know it by heart.

"Dear Uncle, I'm writing to thank you for your gifts

and to tell you that I took my First Communion."

Now do you believe me?

What's Uncle Ernesto like? - He's just an average guy.

Have you known him long? - Yes.

Uncle Ernesto is a good man.

How do you know? - My daddy told me.

Actually, when he was little, he stole a jar of marmalade

and Uncle Ernesto got an awful tummy ache.

Really? What else did he do?

What all children do.

He liked to catch lizards. He wanted to be a famous engineer.

He was a character...

He fired his slingshot at a guard.

Got beaten so hard, he wanted to join a seminary!

That's funny. What else? - No more.

Uncle Ernesto doesn't like people to blab about his secrets.

Now sleep, or it's no more stories for you.

Sleep, Rosetta.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Rosetta.

Are you Mr Pandelli? - Yes, why?

They killed Mr Spagnoli. - Killed?!

Yes, on the road, three hours ago. Bandits gunned down his car.

What about Rosetta? The child! - What child?

My daughter was riding with him. - We found no one.

What do you mean? He was driving her to the city!

Tell me the truth. - Calm down. There was no child!

They must have kidnapped her. She was there, they left at 4pm!

We're canvassing. We'll get them, rest assured.

They must've killed her...!

Rosetta...

Rosetta!

Look.

We're close to my house, it's that one.

Aren't you coming?

I can't. I have other things to do.

Come greet Daddy. - I must go. Maybe another time.

They're shooting!

Yeah... it's hunters.

It's dangerous, run home. You can get there on your own.

Yes, but... you're not coming?

I can't... I forgot something important.

When I left, Uncle Ernesto told me to tell your dad

he must go on a long trip, very far away.

He won't come see me?

Yes, he will.

He'll always be with you.

Now go. Bye, Rosetta.

What? Not even a kiss?

Bye, Rosetta.

WEL Your little purse and... your goose.

You keep it.

Stick 'em up!

Up, I said!

Daddy!

Oh, honey! My beautiful girl!

Mother of God, you poor child. - How did you get back here?

A man took me. A friend of yours.

He carried me up to there.

A friend of mine? Who?

I don't know. He knew Uncle Ernesto.

Uncle Ernesto? - Yes.

Wait here, I'll be right back.

THE END
