Original subtitles

Naples, April 20, 1989.

The day before the wedding.

The day before the wedding.

The day before the wedding.

The day before the wedding.

The day before the wedding.

I'm listening, Don Gennaro.

The Naples people have still got a little stone in their hands.

And my future husband has ties with them.

He's hanging out with a certain Paolo.

We have to keep him at a distance.

But Paolo is just a little boy.

His thing is rather the racket.

A little hit, that's what he is.

Listen to me carefully.

I've been living in Nice for 15 years.

I have nothing against the Naples people.

But if it's about my gender, I want it to be clean.

You know, tomorrow is a very special day for me.

And I need to spend a good night.

Move.

Move.

Here.

Still drinking.

I came to settle things with you about your father.

You don't have to tell the cops what you heard.

Because otherwise I'll kill you.

Without hesitation.

Do you understand?

You don't have to run away, my boy.

Keep that in mind.

Get in your car and start.

Come on, get in and don't talk.

Hurry up, hurry up.

You heard, start.

You wanted to talk to me?

Yes.

For a very long time, actually.

Anything you want, I'm at your disposal.

You are a nice boy.

A son of a good family, well in all respects.

And you have also gained mastery.

Today you are one of the best architects in Naples.

Bravo.

My daughter was raised in the purest tradition.

For years you were together.

And tomorrow you will get married.

You will then be part of the family.

But first there is something you must know.

At the time I had a few clashes with the police, but nothing serious.

Nonsense.

What's my name?

Well, Don Gennaro.

In a previous life I was known under the name of Vicenzo.

I had to change two or three things in my life to survive.

Well, in fact, it's been a long time since I suspected something strange in your life.

I also tried to get some information from your

daughter, but she didn't give me any answer.

But who are you exactly?

In your place, I will not take care of the lives of others.

The important thing is that you marry my daughter.

So make her happy, that's all I ask of you.

Listen...

It's not over soon, this bullshit.

What have I done, damn it?

Who sent you?

Shut up, you will talk when you have permission.

But why are you attacking me?

What?

We want to talk to you.

Leave Gino alone, he has nothing to do with you.

And I'm going to tell you that if you ever talk

to him again, you will regret coming to the world.

You're always taking this way... I'm saying that to you so you can get over.

You can't...

That's why I'm here.

I'll help you out.

Oh, there.

Oh, there...

Isn't there something I can help you with?

Oh, no... I don't know.

Oh, yes.

Yes...

The day of the wedding.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, let me present all

my congratulations to the couple of newlyweds that we applaud very loudly.

Bravo!

Bravo!

And now I'm going to tell you a story that happened to me in a movie.

This guy of two meters tells me, hey, the dwarf, move from there.

And then I say to him...

Am I the dwarf?

He says to me, yes, why?

Does it cause you a problem?

So I say to him, repeat a little if you are a man.

You know that when I was five years old, I broke the face of a big guy from the CM2.

All this because he dared to look at my girlfriend.

You know, I'm the kind of person to tear your eyes off, me, a kind of big P.D.

Hello, this is La Chouette, do you receive me?

La Chouette?

This is Faucon, I receive you five out of five.

What's going on?

The dwarf would like to know how long you have been at the intervention site.

We're about a minute away.

But what's the situation over there?

They're bad, Faucon.

If we ever find out, I won't tell you about the massacre that's going to happen.

I'm scared, you know, I have a wife and children.

And you think we don't have a family?

As soon as you're ready for the intervention, send the radio signal as agreed.

May God help us.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

So what did he say to you?

I just came to talk to the commissioner.

He told me he was one minute away from the restaurant.

Inspector, isn't this operation a bit risky?

Shit, what if something goes wrong?

Shut up, you idiot.

No, but you don't hear a thing.

We should talk here, or we'll all get killed.

Listen to me, if you say another word, I'll kick your ass as soon as I get out of here.

So don't play with me, all right?

Otherwise you'll take the price, but I'll give you a good one.

You got that?

You're so stubborn!

Little clowns like you, I'll give you ten for my four hours!

And for the end, I tell him, if you're still not calm, well, okay, we'll fight,

but if you lose a shot, you won't have to complain.

So take your big ass and get out of here!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

And now, now, he will give us the honor to come and

sing the father of the married woman, Don Gennaro.

We applaud him very loudly.

Bravo!

He is a very talented singer.

Bravo!

All my wishes.

Thank you, thank you.

After so many years in France, you know what it means to me to see all this.

Especially for such a beautiful occasion like this one.

All my wishes, my dear.

May you be happy until the end of your life.

I chose two songs.

The first is for my father, who left me 40 years ago.

I will never forget it.

Bravo!

Let's hear the music, maestro!

Bravo!

Inspector, we won't wait until it's over.

You don't see that we risk our lives here.

Inspector, he's right, this is the right time.

What are we waiting for?

Shut up, both of you.

I will tell you when it will be the right time.

This happiness I see it, I don't see it When I return to Naples I see that it's here.

the right time The reason Because it is here.

by the way.

is I will go to St. Pais, my hometown of Westeros, where I answer válicy and luna.

No, at the bottom of the mountain.

And it's just here.

Had you known I was pure here,

Mom, you left the window open again and my feet are all wrinkled.

What are you telling me?

We don't have windows anymore.

You are so ungrateful.

Maybe you don't understand me.

Don't forget my words.

It's not too late.

When will we have bread?

You don't give a damn.

Look, Pepe Amato is doing his circus.

This is how the first sorrows are born.

With the first dreams of love.

Every heart in love torments more and more.

You who haven't loved yet, maybe you don't understand me.

Good evening, dad.

You didn't go to bed?

No, I was waiting for you.

Where did you go?

To Mergilina with a friend.

Because there are Americans there who sell chocolate and caramel.

By the way, I brought you some.

Do you want some?

It's nice to have thought about your father, son.

But you know I spent the last ten years serving the Dutch and the party.

But now the war is over for good.

The Americans won.

And that's why I have to go.

And why?

Why?

Because today in Naples there is not a single person who doesn't know me.

And everyone knows what I did.

And I have other projects than spending the rest of my life in prison.

Listen to me, son.

Our house, I sold it to Carmela, the smuggler.

She gave me much less than her value.

It should be enough to survive.

At least for a while, I hope.

And as for you, I talked about it this morning with the one we call the captain.

He will host you in his house.

Until you find a good job.

Make me happy.

Be very nice to him and his family.

Otherwise, when I come back, good luck to you.

What are we going to do with the rationing?

Did you look for work, Max?

What are we going to do to eat otherwise?

Talk to me about another time.

I fought the war, madam.

I deserved a little rest.

What, is there a problem?

With me, you have nothing to fear.

Everyone loves the captain.

We can't do anything about it.

And then there's only me, there's Mario.

And I'm going to America.

And if I were you, I would do as much while he's

still there, because there's no future here.

You let us down?

Did you put this idea in his head?

But finally, what are you talking about?

What do you all have today to get me nuts?

It would be too much to ask you to let me eat quietly, no?

I... No, but... What are you doing here?

Besides, I've decided that in this house,

starting tomorrow, there will be five of us.

We're going to host Don Salvatore's son.

Fabio's coming here?

Exactly.

His father ran away.

He didn't know he was going to give up.

Leave quietly, I told him.

Captain's words.

Don Salvatore is a fascist.

His son is going to bring us trouble.

What an idea you had.

First of all, we didn't have much to eat.

He's not going to work.

Don't worry, mom.

Fabio doesn't eat much.

And he knows everything.

He's got a whole bunch of little things.

Shit, don't you see I'm trying to eat?

Oh, come on, don't get angry.

I'm not getting angry.

I'm going to eat.

I'm the captain.

Obey me.

And shut up now.

You don't know how much I've suffered for this uniform.

Tonight, my mother prepared something for you and your commander.

But for that, you have to bring us five kilos of flour and also cheese.

Do you understand?

I understand, I understand.

But what did she reserve for us, then?

Young girls from the neighborhood.

From good families.

Good little girls.

Like your commander loves them.

You know this girl?

Do you know her?

And how?

Wait, I'll introduce her to you.

Wait, Monica.

Where are you going like that?

I have an important person to introduce you to.

Come on, but don't go.

He's not going to eat you.

He just wants to know you.

You're making a big mistake, my friend.

You're starving me and your whole family is starving you.

Don't tell her.

She's silent.

She's not talking?

No, because during the war, there was a bomb that fell near her house.

And because of the shock, she remained silent.

She's a very nice girl, but she's ashamed.

This is the guy who likes our commander.

If he can have this girl, he can make you very rich.

A lot of money, you see.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Listen, your daughter is old enough to choose her vacations.

She doesn't need you.

What?

Your daughter doesn't have the right to talk to mine.

Otherwise, I'll catch her.

If I catch one, she's not going to forget, believe me.

And if you touch her, I'll come and pick her up myself.

Listen to her.

She's going to make you see the mackerel.

What?

At least I didn't sleep with the Germans, my old woman.

Hey, be very careful, Carmela.

Oh, I'm scared.

Be careful.

I'm going to fuck you up.

Oh, no threat.

Carmela, no, don't rush.

I'll take you away.

But I'm waiting for her.

She's going to make you see, Carmela.

She's going to make you see for yourself.

So, what's your problem?

What is Fabio going to think?

Carmela and her daughter are dishonest.

I don't want her to approach our daughter.

They put bad ideas in her head.

And since she doesn't talk, they take advantage of it.

I don't want to get involved with what she doesn't look at me for, but it's true.

When my father sold her the house, he didn't know what she was going to do with it.

She turned it into a mess.

Do you believe that?

All Americans go through it.

And you, listen to me.

I know you hang out with the girl from the smuggler, right?

If I ever see you again together, I'll give you a correction.

Hey, why don't you tell me anything?

If she wants to make our daughter a whore, I'll go.

Wait, don't go.

I wanted to tell you, Monica.

She's right.

You have to obey her.

These women are bad.

You don't have to trust them.

Come on, don't be sad.

For you, I have a good chance.

One day, in a school party, a girl in pink and white was

sitting outside a lot of boys and she was speaking French.

She was a waitress who was already in bed.

She was a waitress who was going to bed at nine i think.

I just had a fight with her mother this morning.

She made a whole circus out of me about your meeting.

Oh yeah?

And what did she want?

She said that if you talked to her daughter

again, she would screw up one of these messes.

What a girl!

If I see her again, I'll tear her hair off.

Calm down a little.

You're going to mess up the neighborhood.

It's better not to draw attention.

Don't worry.

One day or another, we'll have the opportunity to make her say what she wants.

I don't see why your general insisted so much on sending me here.

I find that this mission has no interest.

At least here, you're not useless.

It doesn't make you happy to be finally back in the country?

You forgot something.

I've been in Italy for more than 20 years.

And believe me, it's not out of pity that I came back to this country.

Besides, I come from the North.

And I can't stand Naples.

Oh, the North.

Well, the South is the same.

The important thing is that you speak Italian, and that here we need a translator.

Yes, but here everything is dirty, awful, and I don't talk about people.

They are such a stupidity.

And when we go out, the guys don't stop sticking to you.

Listen to me carefully.

We're at war.

We're not on vacation.

I'm leaving.

And I'll be back very late.

Where are you going?

To control the city's high-rises.

You're such a bastard.

I'm aware of what you're doing.

You're going to pay a small amount of pleasure

with some little Neapolitans, aren't you?

Fuck you.

Make me happy, girls.

Stop doing this funeral.

If you're good, I'll give you something to eat for a whole week.

Bread, beans, and cheese.

You'll do what you're told.

Without saying anything.

If you give them a good impression, they'll come back often.

So don't disappoint them.

Everything is all right.

They're waiting for you.

But please, don't make any noise.

You know, my friend told me there's a mute girl who lives in the neighborhood.

A very beautiful girl.

Could we meet her?

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Her parents are very strict.

If you introduce her to us, I'll make you bring

50 kilos of flour and fresh fish for a week.

The problem is that you don't just want to

know her, but also do some bullshit with her.

And that's not possible.

And how are you going to find fish when you've banned fishing?

Don't worry about it.

The captain can do anything.

So it's not a problem.

Think about what I said.

What did I say?

Hey, come with me.

There's a drunk American watching the jeep outside.

Come on, we're going to kick his ass.

Wait for me here.

I'll be right back.

Listen.

When you see me coming, raise your window high.

When you see me passing by, bang…

It's really interesting, all this.

You're young, but you're not shy.

My God!

You have time.

You're being flattering me.

Yes, give me a kiss.

Kiss me.

Kiss me.

Come on, kiss me.

You have beautiful nipples, you know.

Because they are beautiful.

Look at this.

Damn, for 19 years old here.

Fresh.

Yes, that's right.

Give me a kiss, baby.

That's it.

Yes.

Continue like that.

Oh, fucking Neapolitan.

Yes, that's it.

Yes, fucking Neapolitan.

Fucking Neapolitan.

Yes, that's it.

That's it, yes.

Yes.

That's it, yes.

Give me a kiss, come on.

Kiss me.

That's it, yes.

Yes, that's it baby.

YES!

Yes.

It's good.

It's good, baby.

That's it, baby.

Oh, baby!

Oh, make me laugh!

Make me laugh!

Yeah!

Look!

Look at this!

Look!

Kiss it!

Kiss it!

That's it!

Yeah!

Yeah, that's it!

Oh, fuck!

Yeah, that's it!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Do you like it?

That's a kiss!

That's it!

Yeah!

Captain, I don't really know how to tell you.

We get along well with your daughter.

And we thought...

that we might get married.

Do you want to get married?

You're nice to me.

You're a good boy.

But she...

she's mute.

She can't find a job.

Once married, we'll have to eat.

Don't worry, Captain.

Your daughter and I will make a lot of effort.

Fabio is honest, Dad.

Everything will be fine.

Look at me, who's visiting us.

And who are these men?

They are a captain and an American commander.

A captain!

I'm also a captain.

I almost got on a ship at the end.

What can I do for you?

We have a serious problem with our jeep.

Someone stole our four wheels.

While he was in it.

And who dared to steal yours with him?

It happens.

We're at war.

People are hungry.

So they steal.

And what's the relationship with us?

I think it's you who stole these four wheels.

We would have stolen your wheels, Captain.

We are an honest family.

We are honest people.

We don't steal the wheels here.

Valentino, go to the cellar.

At your service.

Patricia, are you aware of this?

How would I know?

I washed the dishes all night.

Captain, we are honest people.

We are at war, just like you.

I fought in Switzerland.

In Switzerland, huh?

In Switzerland.

And there was never a war.

Of course there was a war.

We were with Japanese and also Germans.

We had to fight, didn't we?

Especially the fronts at the same time.

I found the wheels in the cellar under a curtain.

I thought you were honest people.

Now follow me to the headquarters.

You will see that a few months have passed.

Passing in prison will do you a lot of good.

Commander, let me tell you everything.

It was me and Fabio who stole your wheels.

You see, we thought we could sell them so we could buy food.

What you wanted to do is called stealing.

You fucking Neapolitan.

You are the fiance of the mute.

Why?

What can it do to you?

You can say goodbye to him because you will not

see him for a while, you fucking Neapolitan.

I am going to be a human.

I am going to know all the words.

I am always

the word of love.

Thank you, thank you, you are too good.

I am happy to be here.

After all this time in France, it feels good.

And now, another song.

It is dedicated to a love of youth.

Do not worry, my dear.

It was long before I met you.

This one, I want to dedicate it to the daughter of the captain.

Maestro Reginella.

Inspector, if he makes us a concert, we will spend the night there.

If you make us discover, we will end up in the cemetery.

I see it from here.

A beautiful stone falls.

And our women cry for us.

Stop, you will bring us the poison.

Well, you got it right.

We are waiting for the signal.

I wonder what they are doing inside.

Commissioner, I am afraid for our agents.

They are in danger.

No, no, with Inspector Romano, they have nothing to fear.

He has been in the house for 40 years.

I do not know.

I tried to convince the Americans, but they did not want to hear anything.

I told them that it was a sin.

They will not start anymore.

And you know what they told me?

What?

If I wanted to work, I could join their army.

And you know what?

I agreed.

You didn't have your dose of the army.

You spent all your life obeying.

It's not difficult, though.

At the time of the reconstruction, we need arms.

What do you want the only job I know?

Between worker, truck driver and officer?

Well, it didn't take me long to choose.

Because I am of the race of those who command.

I've arranged everything, commander.

But our conditions have changed.

If you want the amulet, it will not be 50, but 100 kilos of flour.

And fresh fish every day.

For a week?

Yes, for a week.

We are waiting for you for 8 hours.

But please, if you come with the jeep, don't leave it without surveillance.

Otherwise, you are sure to have troubles.

Like last time.

Soldier, I think I understand that you have filed a long-term permit.

Yes, my mother is very sick and I would like to go back to the country to see her.

I may be able to help you, but I will have to go back to work.

So, where have you been?

Hurry up, they have already arrived.

They are waiting for you.

Come in.

Let me see.

Yes, I saw better.

You could have made an effort.

Come on, go quickly and join them before they get impatient.

Go.

Good evening, little one.

Glad to meet you.

Dress up.

Dress up.

It's a beautiful pair of sandals you have there.

Let's take a look.

It's fine.

It's this one.

It's incredible.

Tell me.

What is this tongue?

Are you crazy?

I'm like that.

It's double mine.

Are you jealous?

Let's see!

How's that sound?

She's good, isn't she?

She's good.

Come on, give me a kiss, soldier.

Give me a kiss.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Can you stop?

Yes.

It's coming.

It's coming.

I'm going to play.

I follow you, commander.

I'm going to play.

Soldier.

Yes, madam.

Take this out and come back in an hour.

It could be dangerous.

Come on.

Obey me.

Follow me.

Move!

So?

Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm scaring you, maybe.

You, the Neapolitans, you know how to deal with women, don't you?

Move.

Come on, give me a demonstration.

I see.

Turn.

Move!

I love your big nipples.

Continue to suck my friends, dirty boy.

You should see to change the tail sometimes.

Yeah, put it to the bottom of your mouth, boy.

Come on, boy.

Here, here.

You are finally here.

Why the hell are you still up?

I'm working.

From what I see, you are in good shape.

You are still... crazy.

Fuck you!

Oh, I didn't expect that.

Tonight, I went for a walk in the prisoners' barracks.

And you know, the Neapolitans are fantastic lovers.

She's so fed up with him that I don't feel like talking to her anymore.

I'll talk to her later.

A secret number.

Hey, Mario.

Did you see?

You know why?

Naples is the asshole of the world.

All of you, the Neapolitans.

You are nothing but sons of bitches.

You were born to be slaves of the Americans.

All you do is lick our asses.

But wouldn't it be the fiancé of the mute?

You know, I paid her tonight for a little flour.

She doesn't talk, but what is she good at?

After the reception.

I don't understand.

How can you be in love with everything we ate, drank and danced today?

It's really incredible.

And it's been more than a week that we do this every day.

I can't take it anymore.

It's the day of the wedding and I'm already tired.

But where are you going, my love?

Stay there.

Come back, I tell you.

And go fuck yourself.

Why does it always happen to me?

Come back and fuck yourself.

Come on.

Go for it.

Move over.

Come with me.

Come with me.

Okay?

Come on, come on.

Get up.

There, there, there.

힘�érly hold them, please.

One week later...

So, how are you?

And your wife?

Yeah, she's fine.

She's spending the night in the nightclub.

That way we can talk.

We have a great offer for you.

So, what do you say?

Are you in?

The Neapolitans, it's over.

Now I'm part of another family.

Welcome.

Are you coming?

Yeah, it's perfect.

Where are you from?

What?

Where are you from?

Nice, Nice.

Nice?

That's great over there.

Hey!

Hey Survivor Just without stopping It's so much And there's no one to talk to What do

you think of giving up?

Tell me that I can and I can Tell me that I can and I can Hey Survivor Leave your

blood We're waiting for you and teaching you freedom Hey Survivor.

Thank you, thank you.

All my wishes of happiness to my daughter and her husband.

Bravo!

Long live the married!

Excuse me.

Yes?

Could you give me a few minutes of your time?

Certainly.

Thank you.

Follow me.

Wait for me, I'll be right back.

Wait for me outside.

Close the door.

So?

What is the honor of having this conversation with you, Mr. Inspector?

How did you know I was a policeman?

You make me laugh.

You've been following me for three months.

My phone is at my place in Nice.

He's been listening for over a year.

You used one of your agents to invite you to the wedding.

You came here with two other policemen.

And there are at least ten of them circling the restaurant.

Waiting for your signal to stop me.

And even the commissioner who is waiting for you has a nickname, the Faucon.

Is that right?

Faucon, yes.

He will surely give you a soap while he's waiting for you.

By the way, I wanted to thank you for not stopping me right away.

Thank you for letting me sing these beautiful songs.

Now the show is over.

I'm at your service.

You can relax.

You don't recognize me?

I'm Mario, the captain's son.

Do you remember me?

No, I don't remember.

I know you are a policeman, that's all.

Listen to me.

When you were young, you came to live with me.

Do you remember me now?

Yes, I remember.

You are the brother of the girl who didn't speak.

The mute.

The one who sold herself to the Americans for a little flour.

My sister didn't sell herself to the Americans as you dare to insinuate.

She had to do that to get us out of trouble.

I, on the other hand, stayed there.

To have killed an American officer.

And what I will never forget is that when I got

out of prison, there was no one to wait for me.

Your sister had married an anti.

And you, you entered the police.

But maybe it's better this way.

I was poor and I was starving.

Do you remember what this American officer told me?

You, the Neapolitans, you are our slaves.

Tonight I paid for your fiancée.

He was right.

Since they had won the war.

His words remained engraved there.

Because I then understood that in life, only money counts.

And power.

Who has power is strong.

And who has not been crushed.

You, inspector, for example, you lead a shitty life.

And yes, with what you earn per month.

But it's not the money that interests you.

No, it's the fact that you feel superior.

That's the power.

I remember your father well.

He was called the captain.

An intelligent man.

He would have understood the speech I am giving you.

However, power and money are tiring.

And believe me, I know what I am talking about.

When we were young, there was family, honor and friendship.

All that has disappeared.

There is nothing left.

I can't take it anymore.

Are you talking about a life?

Please.

Please.

Sing me another beautiful song.

It's been years since we sang.

And while we sing, a cruel society slowly devours our consciousnesses.

Vincenzo, Gennaro, whoever you are.

Sing us another song and help us forget.

I have seen, I have not seen, that I have returned to Naples.

I have seen that the train was still at the station.

When the first mandolin was added.

Who is this country alone?

Who is this country of love?

Who is this country of all words?

Under its sweet sea.

There are always words of love.
