Up early aren't you Lieutenant?

Just turning in.

Cigarette?

No, I'm on duty sir.

Oh be daring, come on.

Thanks.

What about you Giamba?

What's a nice guy like you
doing out at this hour?

They're transferring three convicts

to the federal pen down in Luca.

Hazardous duty Lieutenant.

That bonus looks great when you have

all those mouths at home.

Yeah right.

Well don't work too hard.

Hello to your wife when you see her.

Have a good sleep Lieutenant.

You hear about that captain in Milano?

Strangled by a couple of kids.

Glad I've only got four years left to go.

Better than 10.

Talk to me about retiring. Mm hmm.

I tell you I bought 25
acres over in Tuscany?

No kidding.

Olive trees vineyards lots of chickens.

I was born on a farm and
that's where I'll die

on a farm.

You worried about three harmless punks son?

Wait till you find yourself with a load

of riding lifers.

Then do your worrying.

What do you want?

I got to pee.

What's the matter with you?

We just left the station.

Couldn't you have gone then?

Go on.

Hey do I have to go in there
and take it out for you?

It's a little tricky I
usually use my right hand.

We're getting the fuck outta here!

Come on move it!

Mother fucker!

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Miss Biagini tells me you're
always fooling around.

But it's Franco and Gioberte's fault.

They're always getting me in trouble.

Mm hmm.

And you never do anything huh?

Hmm.

Who are they Papa?

I don't know honey.

Morning what can I do for you?

Papa!

Papa!

Get in the back!

For god's sake shut her up!

Damnit!

For Christ sake cut it out!

Do it.

Come on huh!

Shoot her!

God damnit kill her!

Yeah hello.

Who is this?

Morning sir.

She's over here in the car.

You inform the DA?

Not yet.

Lieutenant.

They think they've found 'em.

They wanna flush 'em out.

Girardi Casaldi.

Come on out with your hands up.

You got one minute.

I'm with the Steppa.

How'd you find them so quick?

You'll get a promotion for sure

if you handle this one right Lieutenant.

Repeat the ultimatum in 30 seconds.

Right.

You have 30 seconds to go 30 seconds.

Come on out with your hands in the air.

We're coming out.

Hold your fire okay?

Throw down your guns.

I said throw your guns down you hear me?

That bonus looks great when you have

all those mouths at home.

Your time's up.

My God he killed him!

Would you stand back please?

But they had their hands up.
They were armed.

You know if the Lieutenant fired

it means the Lieutenant had to fire.

You shouldn't have done it.

All right so I overstepped the line.

But you weren't there to see.

Seven year old girl.

Six police officers everyone
with a family to support.

Tell me who the hell is
gonna support them now?

Get out of the force Giorgio

you're not meant for this kind of work.

I had you transferred to a
quieter city hoping you'd...

You shot those men out of vengeance

not out of a sense of duty.

The book was thrown at'em
they were lifers Johnny.

What more was there for us to throw?

Load them back on the train?

Give them dinner offer
a cigarette a coffee?

Is that what I should'a done?

I pulled every string I could for you.

I got you out of that town

and had you assigned to
temporary duty here in Milano.

But as for the investigation
there's nothing I can do.

It's already started.

I'll be okay don't worry about it.

There's people that'll swear those guys

were about to shoot me.

Sure.

Those people are just what makes me worry.

Too many of us are beginning
to think the way you do.

What gives criminals the
right to shoot cops then?

You're rationalizing Giorgio.

We've got to work within the law.

I'm into something big right now.

This long string of robberies
across northern Italy.

Well?

12 months a sweat.

Using the little gray cells.

Not this.

They're as good as booked.

You haven't changed a bit Del Buono.

You're nuts.

Or a saint.

Come on we all want our
hour of glory don't we?

Why don't you join us for dinner tonight?

Can we make it tomorrow?

I'd kinda like to see Milano tonight.

After all that time in the sticks.

Okay.

Ciao.

He's been shot!

It was him!

Come on get somebody to help!

Come on!

Quick get an ambulance!

Hurry help!

Do not therefore in this
moment of pain and remorse

become so tempted toward
unreasoned reaction

as to defy the spirit of law and justice

so dear to the very person
we pay homage to this sad day

a symbol to the people of
Milano and to all of us

his work should be honored as befits him.

It is with these sentiments
and with confidence

in your continuing faith
in the ideals of democracy

freedom and human rights
that I and the entire nation

share in your deep sorrow.

Signed by the Minister of the Interior.

Pathetic.

Headlines top of the
news for a week or two.

A splendid official funeral.

And then the articles become smaller

and stuck amongst the ads.

Yeah I was his protege.

His nuisance as you told him.

He had a saying.

The best part of the
law is that it's there.

And you know what they call the man?

Finest cop in the world the wrong world.

Symbol.

In two or three months we'll
have completely forgotten

there ever was a symbol.

We'll even come to forget
how it was that he died!

Best of all though

we'll forget who did it!

Our system!

Lieutenant you're upset I know.

And understand.

But don't let passion
tempt you into rashness

to paraphrase the minister.

The hell with the minister.

Giorgio... Calm down Lieutenant.

I am sure that in a few
days this momentary...

Yes this momentary.

It's bound to pass I know.

Like it will for all of you.

Good morning sir.

Was there nothing among his files?

Nothing just the usual.

A few house break-ins.

An elderly welfare patient who
threw himself out the window.

Man who stabbed his wife to death.

Nothing.

Who's in charge of the case?

The whole force.

100 people have already been pulled in.

Commissioner's given us carte Blanche.

We've got to get him.

No buts about it we've simply got to.

Look.

This wasn't just some common cop shooting.

It was organized.

Get me in on the case.

Should have given you this three days ago.

Some policeman I am.

Thank you.

He warned me that I would be suspended

because my methods are normal.

Don't worry you'll hear from me.

So will you.

Ciao.Ciao.

My husband never talked about
his work when he was home.

It stopped at the front door.

Yeah I know how he was.

But are you sure he didn't say something

the last few weeks?

You know like about a
place or was there anybody

he mentioned that you recall?

I don't know I just don't.

Did he like go out in Milano for example?

No not that I know of anyway.

Last month or two did he
come home every night?

Yes sometimes very late but...

He come home drunk?

Well when you go into a
bar to get information

you're bound to have a drink.

Well I believe I did smell whiskey

on his breath once.

This asking for you to remember

I know it's jousting like some Don Quixote.

But it's the only way.

That one night.

When he came in.

Did he say anything?

No like I told you his
rule was very precise.

He never broke it.

Hmm I know I know.

But he must have said something,
something meaningless even

like "I didn't eat" or

"You don't know the crummy life a cop has"

or "I smoked 50 cigarettes today".

Or even "Wouldn't you know it?"

"I went bowling tonight."

If he did I just don't...

Can't recall.

I felt so empty inside
ever since it happened.

Empty.

How about Sundays?

Oh he liked to go to the movies.

Up to the lakes.

No just recently the last month or so.

He never took off a minute.

He said he had a lot to do
but something was the matter

I could tell.

One day he walked in with mud
all over his good flannels.

The poor thing I asked where he'd gone.

He gave a little grin and
said "There's mud all over."

"Unfortunately you can't avoid it."

Then he gave me a bag with two trout in it.

I said "Did you go fishing?"

And he started to laugh said
"Yes up at the supermarket."

It's hard to talk under
these circumstances.

But so often an insignificant point can...

I hope very much you'll let me try again.

All I want is to avenge him.

He felt you had a great career ahead

and he liked you even though...

Even though he said
"Give Giorgio a free hand"

"and he'd kick the hell
out of half humanity"

"and put a slug in the rest."

The servant of society

and society paid you back Captain.

Hey look at that one.
He looks like he's got...

You've got good taste honey.

A quickie or you wanna come home?

Where do you live?

Well why don't I just show you?

Go down four blocks then left.

You're a cutie.

Come on don't be shy.

And who's this? My fiance.

Fiance?

That's right.

He never gets jealous though.

You gonna keep your clothes on?

Don't wanna make me happy?

What do you say?

How about 10?

No good.

All right 20.

100 but that's it.

What am I supposed to say to Pepi

he'll beat my ass in.

That should be a fair price.

Beat my ass in.

He won't believe me.

Jeez he's always telling me
stay away from the young guys.

He won't believe me.

He'll beat me like he beat Peanut.

She had to go and get 30 stitches.

Oh he'll believe you when I talk to him.

Who let him out?

Stay like that.

You're a gorgeous chick.

Pepi.

Four hours you been gone
you cost me 200000 lire

you bitch I'll kill you!

Listen!

The bastard has a gun.

He's in there Pepi.

You got to be real careful.

There's a guy here?

He robbed me 100000.

I didn't have much choice

he would have blown my head off!

You dumb broad.

Be careful.

Jealous?

This your car?

You oughta hire some protection Jack.

Keys.

I usually quit at four.

Hey stop whenever you want.

You're the only ones in the
country who don't mind working.

Ciao.

Hey hon you with someone new?

What about old rat face?

Swear to god girls this guy is one hunk.

Catch anything?

How's business Fish Head?

It gets worse and worse.

For all that shit about ecology.

They're purifying the water.

Goes on like this I'll be
hauling out fish for real

and breaking my balls and
having to kiss someone's ass

or worse I'll have to
go back to selling trout

to the wife cheaters on Sundays.

Or you'll go back to fishing

out of other people's pockets.

The king of the prison pipeline.

Water under the dam.

How long were you in prison?

Must be 20 years you
hear any talk about me.

Clean as a virgin pop I'm white as snow.

Mm.

The setup's changed though I understand.

Could be.

You're wasting your time.

I'm retired now have been for years.

What do you think you're doing?

Up or down?

Let go you crazy son of a bitch!

What do you want?

I drive cars.

You with any fuzz?

I don't give a shit!

I'm on good terms with the police!

Help he's killing me he's killing me!

You'll get a piece of my action.

Pull me out! 20% will probably

get you a new rowboat.

Eh? I'm drowning!

I'm drowning help!

Help!

Help I'm drowning!

Are we agreed?

Let me outta here!

Yes or no?

Yes yes you son of a bitch!

You're precious and maybe not so dumb.

Bastard.

Hmm.

Another game of 10?

You're down 20 already.

You're gonna lose your shirt

'cause you're too bad to be a hustler man.

Oh I got plenty of shirts.

And the 20000?

Okay I owe you 20.

Lend me 40,000 if I win the debt's gone.

You know where we shove
a cue up guys like you?

No show me where.

You learn something new every day.

Mother fucker!

That's no way to treat a billiard cue.

How much does he owe?

20000.

I'll play for him.

Now you don't owe anyone anything.

You can go.

But make sure you don't come back.

We all have our specialty.

The usual.

I have homework to do I'll
see you fellas tomorrow.

I'd like a whiskey.

Watch it.

They're flying low.

I know mister billiards.

But I'm interested in playing.

You are eh?

Go home kid you're out of your league.

No I'm not.

Ah.

Billiards is a very difficult game.

Takes a good eye steady
hand and a sense of logic.

Excuse me.

Everyone has a right to
know what they're getting

for their money.

Try me.

As what?

Driver.

I like taxis.

Eh with this traffic you're
bound to need a driver

sooner or later.

The things I need never come up to me

and say here I am take me.

It's always me that goes after them.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Let's go.

Keep your goddamn hands
off the merchandise!

Pox on thy servant that his humble hands

should dirty you.

You will excuse the glove.

Of course my dear countess.

You're the worst actor I've ever seen.

Stay outta trouble huh?

My name is Giorgio.

Mine's not.

Ah.

I don't always come on
this way with chicks.

Just when I'm in a little
trouble over at the bar.

Put whatever Prince Valiant had over there

on my bill too.

Son of a bitch really did just
want his bill to get paid.

If you don't like the color

I'll get you another one okay?

Where'd you get that monster?

In the road.

With the proper tools it's
merely a question of taste.

Come on get in.

You know I've never been

in one of these monoliths before.

I don't see what's so hot about it.

Looks like a water buffalo.

Well if you don't like it we
can always get out and walk.

Oh well why look a gift car in the mouth?

So you dropped out of high school.

Yeah well when your philosophy professor's

trying to feel you up all
the time you know what I mean

when a guy can't even get it together

to keep his own head straight
he's supposed to understand

all the problems of the world?

But if you wanna get promoted...

And so I thought gee if your ass is so good

do something with it.

So I went to work.

You know for one of those
what the hell was the name?

Anyway one of those nudie rags.

Ex-Student?

Ex-Model?

Yeah because you get in
that kind of business

it sorta tends to end up
giving you a social conscience.

That's right.

You think you're a slave you feel like

you're being taken.

And they all say hey dummy
what's there to fight?

You're making 35000 per session.

Look if you don't like it pack your ass.

Go to Russia where you
have to show it for free

to the party you know?

All the world's a toilet
as Shakespeare said.

Shall we have another round of beer?

Yeah let's do.

Two beers s'il vous plait.

Well if you can't find
heaven in the Kremlin

there's always Mao.

Hmm come on fella I'm way
ahead of that Mao crap.

Only choice left is to
striptease for President Nixon.

So what you gonna do?

You put your ass on the line by protesting.

Violence.

You know Maria X I wouldn't mind

a little violence with you.

What'd you call me just then?

Maria X.

You don't like it?

You got a short memory.

X ex that ex this.

Hmm it's true.

Even names are just a load of crap.

I mean look at me I was
named after the holy virgin.

Where to?

Keep going straight.

Oh what's this?

Leaving clues behind? What?

Yeah looks like we're being followed.

What you have guardian angels?

If they were cops

they'd have pulled us over by now

we'd be on our way to a six
month stretch for car theft.

So cops they're not.

Maybe they saw me with my fiance.

That kid at the pool hall?

Who is he Al Capone?

Hm yeah yeah.

How about Giorgio who's he?

You haven't said what Giorgio's story is.

I'm the chief of police.

Hmm.Hmm.

What do you care?

Think of me as someone who
likes to take girls like you

for joyrides.

What did you want with Padulo?

You know mister billiards?

I've noticed him.

Joyrides are always a lot more pleasant

when you can afford them.

A person that knows told me they needed

someone like me for work.

And what's this someone like?

Hey come on now you're
giving me the third degree.

This is where I live right
there the old homestead.

No.Mm hmm.

Hey who are you anyway Onassis's daughter?

House of Angels hmm?

Heaven's a mansion?

Yes but they don't let
you in to this heaven

unless you come to sin.

Then I'm home.

Come on.

Shall we find somewhere else?

Yeah another address.

If you would like to screw
me this is where I'm screwed.

Look little Miss Muffett
I'm not too particular

about where I get laid but
I prefer Mary five fingers

to this.

What the hell's eating you?

Forget it.

Son of a bitch.

Talk about getting the
short end of the stick.

That punk spends the whole night scoring

while we sit out here
trying to keep our asses

from getting frostbite.

I think the boss is too careful.

I could tell right off
he was just a jerk out

for a couple of thrills.

Mm.

Let's take off.

He ain't coming out of there before dawn

any way you look at it.

It's all gonna run as smooth as silk

but bear one thing in mind.

This bird always flies at low level

and there could be a slip up somewhere.

Now you've got guns.

They're not just to make you look tough.

If you got to use 'em use 'em good.

We want bread not a massacre.

That's right.

Here's your two elephants.

He's just a punk. He stole a Rolls.

Went home with the chick.

Ah.

All right.

Go to work boys.

But don't rush anything.

Wait til they're closing.

We'll make it worth your while.

Let's go.

You think they can hack it?

It has an output of four
watts but don't use it

because it's against the law.

How come you sell it then?

Because selling it isn't against the law.

You just can't use it
because you see it can

tune in the police bands with it and...

Oh come off it you mean you can really...

And all you do is push down
this button a moment eh?

Attention all area 17 units.

Ram 'em in the side!

Cut that out!

Lose them!

Look man why don't you
go fuck yourself huh?

Cool it junkie.

Do you know me anymore?

Yeah.

Your happiness isn't showing.

What is this?

Pool hall in mourning?

You're not Maria X.

Hand me the money.

Too big glasses of cow juice.

Doesn't anyone ever come
in here during the daytime?

Yeah you did didn't you?

Hmm.

Drink this it dis-intoxicates.

Hey.

Lousy high I guess?

My eyes always start watering.

I didn't realize you
loved that boy so much.

That pineapple they were carrying

they shouldn't have thrown it.

It was enough to take the girls
the police weren't coming...

Stop it okay?

Think I'll cut out.

Seems I'm in the wrong dream.

Oh your honor now come on don't be nervous.

No one will bother us here lover.

It'll be an awful lot easier
if you relax a little.

Mamma Mia!

Oh it's only my fiance it's alright lover.

Evening.

No don't stop it'll make you feel bad.

What's he doing here?

What's he want?

Take it easy, take it easy.

You don't wanna have a stroke sweetheart.

Where are my clothes?

Trouble honey?

No diarrhea.

You should finish it or his
honor will be very upset.

Pooh.

Oh my God!

Police open up!

What have you done? Don't worry.

Just put on your best face.

Open up we know you're in there.

Line forms at the rear pal.

You Cartiglia?

Sorry we don't want any.

The sign says Pepi Cartiglia.

You still believe what you read how naive.

You're very humorous now let's see your ID.

Piper picked my peck of pickles.

You know you are hanging off the strap and

right through the turnstile.

What's he muttering about?

His purse of course.

It was lifted off him on the subway.

Hmm.Hmm.

An excellent knowledge of
the world of pickpockets.

Those pickles there are new.

All right fella let's go.

I get it back right?

Stop stalling. Tell the guy.

Hey just a moment let me
finish dressing I mean...

We got clothes for you where you're going.

Ciao my love big kiss to his honor.

Let's go let's go. Come on.

Nighty night.

Hey take it easy!

I warned you.

They're flying low.

Would you believe he took us

for a couple of plainclothesmen?

Either we put on a pretty good show

or Captain Marvel here
is strictly amateurville.

You don't seem the curious type.

Doesn't pay.

You a friend of Cartiglia's?

Not exactly.

Then what were you doing in his house?

Watch it.

They're flying low.

I gave you the score the other night

and hell if you don't
have a job what do you do

sit around and read what
the papers say on inflation?

What's he muttering?

That he's a part-time pimp.

You make it sound so so unhealthy.

She was a nice clean girl.

I hear you're pretty good with a car.

Let's take a look.

Okay what can you do?

Okay now make a U-turn.

Very good.

You drive well.

Now they're all amateurs.

The thing I need is a
man of your experience.

No risks.

You just go on driving like
that and you'll be okay.

The first thing I need is the money.

Even if I have to go half with the boys.

You understand?

You're buying yourself a Swiss watch

but first you got to wind it.

I understand.

Here's half now half after.

Thank you.

You don't have to count it now

you got plenty of time later.

What's the score? He's in.

Upstairs.

What do you mean you win

because your ace is a spade?

Suits don't count in this game you jerk!

They have a blackjack game going.

Pass the time you know.

How much longer before we move?

That's not for me to say.

We move when we get the word.

This is your room.

Very elegant huh?

I'll take it.

Now take your clothes off.

Underwear everything.

What for?

Hey they're flying low.

We must keep everything harmless.

This apartment's rented under a phony name.

No labels or anything like that.

And you're keeping your name a secret yeah.

So when the fuzz pick us up
that's gonna make a difference?

Okay I'm ready.

What are we preparing?

A hold up or a war?

All you have to do is drive

and leave the rest of it to us.

It's too late now to have second thoughts.

Listen they may be flying low

but I'm freezing my cubes off.

You'll find some other clothes in there.

You'll get these back later.

Mm do what you want with 'em.

I got the bare essentials.

I love when they say you
cannot live on bread alone.

You can't live without it either.

And with it you can be left alone.

Okay boys don't step on anybody's toes.

All you got to do is wait.

You only leave this place to do your job.

It could be tomorrow or in a month.

Ciao.

Look try to avoid gun play hmm?

You let us worry about it.

You stay here where it's nice and quiet.

And try to remember not to reverse

until we're coming out.

Yeah I got it.

For a professional you seem
to be pretty uptight kid.

All right let's go.

I'll take care of the watchdog.

Excuse me you got a light?

I lost my lighter.

Freeze everyone.

Hands in the air!

Don't move a muscle or you're dead!

Hold it up against the wall!

Put it up!

Go on move it!

Stop right there move back!

This one's full take it.

Don't move you!

Are you crazy? Out!

What's she done? Move!

Man.

Now let's see you get this buggy going.

Police!

Keep your cool fellas.

Watch it here comes another up ahead!

Jesus step on it!

Bothers.

I should have massacred
every last one in there.

There's no one to have
set off no alarm then.

Now they'll have roadblocks
set all over the place.

Goddammit.

Hold your fire Carl!

Don't shoot!

Chicken-ass bastard!

I bet you shit in your trousers too eh?

You shouldn't have done it.

She didn't mean nothing.

You got her right in the
belly she was pregnant

you bastard!

Society's got to start wanting a new order.

The goddamn public opinion is our target!

It ain't the money it's
the idea you dumb asshole!

They should put someone like you in a cage.

Filthy butcher.

Killing a woman for pleasure, animal.

You pay attention to your driving

or I'll take this sten and
turn your head into a hole.

Sure.

A bank nice and cool and simple you said.

A matter of driving a car.

For a bunch of animals.

Just keep on driving.

See you make your goddamn getaway huh?

Yeah and you just pray that
that cat up there likes us.

Oh Jesus. Shut up will ya?

Come on, come on!

Show us your stuff!

I sure as hell hate to admit
this but you drive damn good.

Calling car 46 they're heading toward

the magenta gate.

Try to intercept them.

I've got aerial 11 units moving in...

Car 33 they're heading back downtown.

Repeat they're heading back downtown.

You might be able to set up a cutoff.

Yeah?

Yeah don't worry I will.

Ciao.

To all units they're heading downtown.

Attention all units all units.

They have just turned into the street

headquarters is on.

Attention all...

Crazy goddamn fool!

No don't kill him don't kill!

You blasted idiots.

I risk my neck to bring in a
vital witness for questioning

and you go and gun the man down for me!

We had to he'd have mowed
down half the force.

Yeah I know I know.

Still got the other two haven't you?

They don't have as much as I do

they just robbed a bank.

17 minutes ago if my watch isn't slow.

You'll get yours!

Somehow I'm doubtful I'll get
a medal for what I've done.

Who can tell?

At least they'll reverse your suspension.

Listen what do you say to
staying in Milano in my office?

I'd only give you trouble

and anyway this moving around on my own

I've acquired a taste for it.

The truth of it is I
did put our commissioner

wise to everything.

Those guys aren't just petty criminals.

The head of their outfit
has another goal entirely.

You've gotten way beyond me.

What is it you want?

Avenge Del Buono.

Afterward...

You think you'll get
there playing gangster?

Why not man?

Seeing as a pig I'm a failure.

Well as far as I'm concerned

whatever you want, you can have it.

Supper's ready to serve if
you can tear yourselves away.

Ah let's eat.

May not get a medal but
you'll get a good meal.

How did it start?

Leaky gas main I think.

Anyone killed?

Just the manager.

He was closing up when it broke out.

Thanks a lot.Sure.

Maria X.

Hey.

Rise and shine.

What do you want now hero?

What the hell weren't you
promoted to president?

Well if that isn't enough don't worry.

You'll soon be promoted to the
great parliament in the sky.

When was the last time you ate?

Eating's a matter of survival hero.

And this chick is tired of surviving.

Oh.

Sure you are.

But you haven't died yet.

So come on.

Look if she doesn't wanna go...

Ah get back in your hole.

They took the baby out alive
and put it in an incubator.

But it didn't make it.

Hey what's the matter?

Don't like the beginning of the revolution?

What do you want from me anyway?

You know damn well
they're not just thieves.

What does that group want?

Who's in command?

You have the wrong idea.

I fooled around with
Giacomo yes of course I did.

But it was never more than
simply going to bed together.

Without any bullshit.

Our friend Padulo mister billiards.

What's his real name?

Look this isn't banner
waving for the Kremlin.

That group isn't subtle at all.

They wanna poison the pond.

They want blood confusion.

But why?

There's got to be a why.

If you really love that
boy you've got to help me.

They got him slaughtered on purpose.

They knew he couldn't hack it.

Oh well sure it seems awfully
easy to point a pistol

at some old teller and
say "Give me the money"

but you've got to have experience

and your Giacomo had none.

It wasn't a need for cash.

His family was rich.

Then tell me why he did it!

Why?

He said we had to create
chaos so that we could build

this country all over again.

He said we...

There was this number he would call.

Publishing house I think in Bergamo.

I think it was.

Where are you going?

I don't know anymore.

There's no need to say thank you.

The next pregnant lady
you run into in the street

try drawing a gun and
giving it to her yourself.

My father caught two thieves one night

he gave them time to surrender.

They turned around and shot him.

Yeah sure mister officer.

Do call me whenever
you've got another lovely

bunch of photos for me to look at.

Goodnight.

Yes? Mr. Saluzoglia.

Yes?

There's a gentleman here

would like to speak to you sir.

Who is it?

He says his name isn't important

just to tell you it's your driver friend.

I'll see you later. Yes sir.

Send him in.

We're beginning to fly very low.

I beg your pardon.

Are you sure it's me you wanna see?

You boys never learn.

I'd have thought you were smarter though.

The pool king drops out of
the picture as if by magic.

He never was man.

And the irreproachable
publisher is home again.

A dead end.

There's no proof.

But you don't know what you're saying.

Press it and I'll break
every bone in your hand.

You're wrong signore signore...

Giorgio Caneparo.

It's an unusual treat to get
introduced to your hangman.

I'm a different sort of policeman mister...

Ah but you disappeared.

No matter.

I'll just have to make do with castrating

Mr. Saluzoglia and
that's no problem at all.

The only way you come out of
this in one piece is talk!

Who's running the show Padulo?

I don't know anything.

Get the police. Police police!

You're crazy.

Come with me.

I'll cut you up so bad you'll wish

that mirrors weren't invented.

That one there get him out
of here he's a monster!

I'm with homicide down in Milano.

Can I see your ID please?

I haven't got it on me.

Hmm well I think we'd better
clear this up at the station.

Alright?

You know your days are numbered Saluzoglia.

So start counting.

You have no way to prove it!

Nothing to go on!

This report makes Saluzoglia
out to be just about

their number one citizen!

Look if I confronted with
those two we're holding

I'll be the laughing stock
of the whole damn country.

Well the police are looking for proof.

You think they're gonna wait?

Ah first you hide things
from me and then you assume

I'm going to listen to you.

Why should I?

Actually it's you who should be arrested!

For withholding evidence.

Listen Commissioner.

That man brought me into the gang.

The man paid me to drive the getaway car.

I wanted to bring him
in on a silver platter

that's why I didn't tell you.

He's the one who got old Fish Head

and the pool hall arson.

Tell me what does he have to
do before we can haul him in?

All I have is your word Caneparo.

Your word which doesn't mean a damn.

What do you think this is the middle ages

where barons torture serfs at will?

We haven't got absolute power.

Lord you haven't any.

Bring me a little proof first.

Proof which'll stand in court.

Bring me this girl you claim can confirm

everything you've told me.

Then we'll see.

Oh and one thing.

You'll never get justice your way.

That clear Lieutenant?

Hey world beater the big
chief give you a sore behind?

Oh come on it's cool.

Calling headquarters this is car 14.

Excuse me. Incident area 723

repeat 723.

Proceed to corner of Villa...

in front of Casa Del Angeli.

We have a hit and run.

Victim is a woman badly injured.

Condition red for ambulance.

I've got a description of the car here.

It's a blue let me see yes...

Casa Del Angeli.

I'll go with you.

Come on move back please move back.

Evening sir.

Maria.

Well.

Talk about putting your ass on the line.

Now you have good reason
to call me Maria X.

Move back please move back.

Good evening Commissioner.

She was the girl.

326421 and 326422.

Open up.

Off your asses question hour.

It's interview time.

It's painful to die.

And painless to be dead.

Is that all you've got to say?

That's all.

I don't know anyone in this room.

Just you.

You know what life imprisonment is?

Every day looking in the
mirror and seeing yourself

once more a useless person.

Only half living.

No women.

No freedom.

Nothing.

All a life sentence Isis
waiting for the moment

that someone reinstates the
guillotine and puts bastards

like you under it.

You still believe in Santa Claus?

That's enough Lieutenant.

The prisoner can return to his cell.

Please accept my apologies Mr. Saluzoglia.

Call him a taxi.

And for me what are you
having them call an ambulance?

The loony squad?

Come on be reasonable.

The commissioner has no evidence.

He can't arrest him on your word.

His word carries more weight than mine.

That's what this comedy's about.

Your taxi sir.

Right over there sir.

Take me to Bergamo.

They're very unhappy with you

Signore Saluzoglia.

Well the hold up went wrong.

I mean it can happen can't it?

But they have no proof and
I have an ironclad alibi.

One small bullet aimed properly and no one

will have to prove a thing.

Yeah but it's my first
mistake in three years.

To make a cop the driver in a bank job

isn't a mistake in our
book Signore Saluzoglia.

It's total insanity.

The old man recommended him to me.

There's no need to worry about it.

If anyone was gonna talk
they sure can't anymore.

You can still talk Signore Saluzoglia.

This is not the way to
the Bergamo throughway.

They wanna speak to you.

Who are you?

I should be your executioner.

But I fixed everything.
I put everything right.

It was just a stroke
of bad luck that's all.

You almost blew everything sky high.

Right at the point when
time is getting ripe for us.

When people are finally
beginning to get fed up

with the power vacuum in
this so-called democracy.

So what do you want me to do?

Buenos Aires.

The flight leaves tonight.

But...

Say thank you and goodbye.

Goodbye.Goodbye.

I'll give you a hand if you're in a hurry.

I'm sorry sir but the man wouldn't...

What else do you want from me?

I told you.

There's only one way to save your skin.

Talk.

If I talk, what do you think you can do?

Haven't you understood yet?

These things are much
bigger than a man like you.

Then I'll be content to drill a tiny hole

in that rotten warped skull.

Okay.

What do you wanna know?

Who shot Del Buono?

A paid killer.

I don't know his name.

Who hired him?

If I told you the pope it'd
be all the same to you.

Maybe you're right only
I'd still like to know

who ordered the killing.

The orders came from above.

A name.

I don't know.

I'm just a small cog in a very big wheel.

The captain discovered the setup.

Don't crap out I still need you.

Don't crap out you rat!

Doctor when will I be able to question him?

You never will.

You mean he's dead? Much worse I'm afraid.

His body's alive his lungs are pumping

his heart's beating but
he's totally lost his brain.

He may live for a few
hours a week or two years

it's hard to say but more like a plant.

He's no longer human.

Repeat the orders.

Attention to all units.

Ex-lieutenant Giorgio
Caneparo is wanted for assault

and attempted murder.

An hour ago he left the central hospital

in downtown Bergamo presumably
headed back to Milano.

Checkpoints to be set on all
roads leading from Bergamo

to Milano.

Nicastro here.

Call me at home as soon
as they have anything.

I don't care what time it is.

See you later.

Who is it?

It's Giorgio Caneparo Mrs. Viviani.

Just push the gate.

Thanks.

My lord what in the
world have you done now?

You've become the most
wanted criminal in Milano.

The bastard hit his head that's all.

Mm come on.

Do forgive me Giorgio but
I'm really not presentable.

No forgive me for busting in at this hour.

I really shouldn't have.

If the great white father finds out.

Well he can just lump it
as far as I'm concerned.

Listen you hungry you wanna eat something?

Yeah I'd love to thanks.

Well it'll be leftovers
and afterwards we'll talk.

Make yourself at home eh? Great.

Huh.

There isn't much but
Elena's pheasant is really

something else.

Feeding a fugitive is a serious crime.

You better confess then.

I wanna know everything.

Start right from the beginning.

Well.

Captain you're the one person I can trust.

Say it then.

It's all a masquerade.

All what?

Oh I beat the guy up yeah
but he's perfectly all right.

I got the chief to issue a
bulletin saying he'd gone

into a permanent coma.

We could have said he was
dead but you got to be buried

if you're dead

and the man knows too much.

He's a corpse I need alive.

With this coma story
his friends are relaxed

and we'll have all the time in the world

to get 'em to fess up.

You know what I think?

He knows who put the tag on Del Buono.

No it's impossible.

Nicastro was serious
and so were the others.

They'd all be up for an Oscar!

Well I admit I didn't
inform the others about it.

You know through the proper channels.

Gianni please you got to promise me.

You play this one close.

That group is after me and
the commissioner and you

are the only two that know.

Sure you better not trust anyone.

And then what?

He put his hands between my thighs.

My lord I never would have believed it.

And everyone calls him doctor innocence.

And what did you do?

Well when they do that to you

either you smack 'em or
else you smack 'em you know?

Well I mean for heaven's
sakes in the operating room?

Why not?

It's more hygienic isn't it?

And anyway first I really
did give him a smack.

And after? He really turned crimson

poor guy.

I guess it was the first
time he ever tried.

Hope I didn't give him a trauma poor thing.

Finally.

This is where the bullet entered.

It missed the aorta by the width of a hair

and then passed on through
without touching any other

vital organ.

Another centimeter and
I'd have been screwed eh?

Millimeter not centimeter.

You're a very lucky man.

Here's breakfast for the
most famous shooting victim

in Italy.

Enjoy enjoy.Thanks.

Is he the one you discovered a little hard

to operate with?

How was he?

It was either life in prison or the medal.

Guess you lucked out.

Am I disturbing you or may I?

Please do.

So you've gotten to the bottom.

The game I'm running
is for very high stakes

and I want you on my side.

Del Buono's vindicated.

Now make sure you don't follow him Giorgio.

You see the way things have gone downhill.

The people respect the order
only when you force them.

Right this moment I'm
not up to forcing 'em.

I know your sentiments lie with us.

There is one and only one
way to break down violence.

Use it all the more!

Just the way you did.

And every sane person in
the country is on your side

and on our side.

That fellow who killed Del
Buono and you killed in turn.

Hmm.

Pretend you'd put him in prison.

Two years waiting to come to trial

a year for the trial

then he would appeal to a higher court.

Look in 10 years at most
he would have gone free.

Assuming there'd have been
witness with enough courage

to actually say yes it was him.

On the other hand when
there's a corpse involved

every coward grows more courageous.

Us you're always saying us.

But us who?

One thing at a time Giorgio.

It was unavoidable your
murdering Del Buono?

Unavoidable.

He found out too much and
then refused to join us.

I used to tell him man you're
either nuts or a saint.

Yeah why not both he would
answer and you know he was right.

When do you get out of here?

Doctor mentioned a week.

You will support us won't you?

You realize your support is
extremely important to us now.

We're badly in need of heroes.

The minute they release me

count me in all the way.

I knew you'd see everything my way.

And you'll be glad you did.

Ciao.Ciao.

Some more cables on your
appointment came today.

Congratulations happy to
hear about it good wishes

fantastic honor.

From every country on the continent.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Aren't you glad sweetheart?

One whole year in the Hague.

It's the best thing for
the cause believe me.

And when we come home
this rotting democracy

will crumble into our hands
and we'll build a new nation.

Hold on.

Hello?

Yeah I'm flying out at eight.

That's right I'll be meeting them tomorrow.

Keep an eye on him though eh?

You never know he's rather unpredictable.

Yes I'll be back in two
weeks and we can decide then.

I wanna make sure everything
is completely settled with him

before my wife and I leave for Holland.

Bye.

Well wonders never cease.

Our boy Caneparo is out of the hospital.

Hello there.

What are you doing here?

I'm not gonna be your hero.

Or your police force.

You gonna kill me too?

You're putting me on.

Look I have to catch a plane.

Maybe when I've come back

Maybe you won't though.

Every departure is a small death.

Calling headquarters
this is Viviani speaking.

I'm on the road to Linante.
