All language subtitles for Stiletto.1969.BDRip.720p.en

Come on board.

No, Cesare.

Let me drive myself home.

Oh.

Cesare.

Where have you been?

Palm Beach.

I was watching
the race on television

when your car smashed up,

took the next plane out.

I wanted to know
you were all right.

You are.

Good morning, Frank.

Good morning, George.

The prints on the stiletto
came in from Washington.

They belong to Jo-Jo Wilson,

alias Bretty, Craig,
Walters, Raymond, Finch.

Twenty-two arrests,
eight convictions,

rape, burglary,
armed robbery, manslaughter.

It takes less time to tell you
what he wasn't charged with.

Have you picked him up?

He was murdered last year.

Rather flamboyant behavior
for a corpse.

Where's the goof?

I don't know.

Jo-Jo Wilson's been
in his grave for a year

now if we were
to believe the facts,

one night last week
he crawled out of that grave,

went 2,500 miles
to that gambling casino

and shoved a stiletto
on our witness.

- Obviously, not facts.
- Now there's more,

you wanna know
who killed Jo-Jo Wilson?

Allegedly, that is.

Our witness killed him.

Tit-for-tat.

You kill me, I'll kill you.

I'll get an exhumation order.

Your Honor, the defense moves

for a dismissal of the indictment.

It'll please the court

the people make reference
to the testimony

given before the grand jury
by the murdered witness

which resulted in an indictment
against those three men.

Your Honor, is it necessary to
remind the learned prosecutor

that grand jury testimony

is worthless without the witness?

Motion denied.

The state will produce
other witnesses.

You can't, you tried for months,

you can't.

Face up to it, you have no case.

That's not for you to say.

Gentlemen, I have no intention
of being referee to a brawl.

Motion for dismissal
has been denied.

Do I take it that the prosecution

asks for a postponement?

Yes, Your Honor,
a three month postponement.

- Granted.
- It pleases the court,

I request that my clients
be permitted to post bond.

And go about their honest
business until such time,

if ever the prosecutor is capable

of putting together
the feeblest of cases.

The state agrees
to appropriate bond.

Very well.

The bail is set as follows.

Adolphus Wehrman, 100,000 dollars.

Allie Fargo, 100,000 dollars.

Emilio Matteo, 250,000 dollars.

Court is adjourned.

Hey, come on now,
hun, it's gonna be okay.

You bastards!

You dirty bastards!

He doesn 't drink,
he's a freak with chicks.

I know every crumby suit he owns,

every tie he wears

and that stupid walk.

I know him better
than my own brother,

I know him better than
my mother, my father,

I know him better than my wife.

What burns me is that Matteo
knows I know it.

You saw the way he looked at me.

- Knock it off, George.
- It took us three years

just to dig up the evidence
to get him into the courtroom.

To see that son of a bitch
walk out like that.

I've been thinking,

- deport him.
- Oh, we don't.

No, we gotta get him right,
I want him for murder one.

Well, you'll have to bring in

Dominic Adams and John Vanicola

and peruse them to testify.

I'll fine them
and I'll make a deal.

Sure.

You promised them freedom
from felony charges,

mob promises death,

I wonder which way they'll swing.

Ah, they're scared,
they'll stay in hiding.

Especially after
what happened in that casino.

I said I'll find them
and they'll testify.

Bullshit.

What do you got?

Keep that wire open.

Landy, George Baker.

Just got report from a fruit
Inspection Station

on the California border,
one of the officers thinks

he saw John Vanicola
at his estate this morning.

Have your people check that out.

I'm sending up a 507
on one Pete Hampson.

If Vanicola back on the habit,
he'll probably contact him.

If he does I want to know.

Right, thanks...
Oh, uh, insurance.

Keep Hampson under surveillance

incase he tries to double on us.

And Landy, forthwith.

May I help you, sir?

I want to see Mr. Cardinali,
my name's George Baker.

Oh, oh, yes,
yes, he's expecting you.

Will you take the private elevator

just outside the door please?

- Are you Baker?
- Right, don't let me interrupt

where you're at.

En garde.

- Ha!
- Again.

Oh-bah!

He's an excellent student

but he's also an excellent cook

and he enjoys
his own food too much.

It's a beautiful foil.

Made by Vargas
in Barcelona in 1910.

You hold that with a hand
of some experience.

Well, it's been quite a while.

I was never exactly Errol Flynn.

Tonio, take the gentleman's coat.

No, no, no, I'm gonna ask you
a couple question.

Fine, well, then perhaps
you'll join me in a swim.

So far you have been
asking all the questions.

Do you mind if I ask one?

You want to know why we allowed
our witness to be murdered

at that roulette table.

The answer is he refused
to remain in protective custody.

That would've meant waiting
six months to a year in jail,

waiting for the case
to come to trial.

He insisted on taking
his chances on the outside.

It's 11:50, gentlemen.

We were questioned pretty
thoroughly

by the police at the casino.

Oh, yes, yes I read that report.

That's where I got
your name and address.

Are you sure you
won't stay for lunch?

No, no, no thanks,
I gotta get to work.

Oh, there's one more thing.

Mm, no.

You didn't see any
of these men in the casino?

I'm sorry,
the tables were very crowded

and I had onlyjust arrived.

Thanks for the swim.

I wish I could be of more help.

If there's anything else I could
do, please feel free to call.

I might take you up on that.

Ciao.

John Vanicola.

White, age 44,

brown hair, brown eyes,
height five-feet-ten.

Average weight about 170.

The left hand is scarred
as a result of a knife wound.

The right bicep has a tattoo
with the two words,

"Love Julie."

Here he is with his daughter.

Notice the decided droop
to his right shoulder.

Those who know him describe
his walk as shuffling.

He smokes, drinks only
scotch-whiskey

and at one time
was addicted to heroin.

Dominic Adams.

White, age 33.

Black hair, brown eyes,
average weight 165.

Adams, Dominic Adams.

Don't make believe you've
never heard the name before.

You know where he is

and we're asking you
nice to tell us.

You see that?

That's blood.

You know who else has got blood?

Your wife.

Your kids.

Mrs. Amato?

Mrs. Amato, I
have a gift for you.

Mrs. Amato?

Yes?

My company is introducing
a new perfume,

won't you accept this free
sample with our compliments?

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, uh, Mrs. Adams next door,

isn't she the woman who's husband

the police are looking for?

Yes.

Do you know him?

Uh, I certainly do.

All right.

He's there, we'll have to check
to make sure it's Jo-Jo Wilson.

The other guy,
he's in great shape.

There's two of them in there.

Dominic Adams.

He was killed with this.

The lab rigged this for me.

So you hold the stiletto
by the blade

so it's not to damage
the prints on the handle,

insert it, there you are.

Ah, as good as
an explanation as any.

If you're talking about
fingerprints made by a man

who's been dead for some time.

I admit these mafia people
are farsighted

but I don't know,
that seems a bit farfetched.

Well it is if you think of them
as being farsighted

but they weren't,

they just happen
to have a good thing,

a stiletto with Wilson's prints
on it so they used it.

- Why?
- They knew if we found.

Wilson's prints on
that stiff in the casino

it would exhume the body.

They got to Dominic Adams
before we did

so they made us look like
a couple of idiots.

Also, they threw a hell
of a scare to any witness

who might want
to testify against them.

George, I gotta bring
this case to trial or back off.

I've got to be realistic.

Adams is dead.

And Vanicola.

Well, I've gotta look ahead,

maybe settle
for the number two deal.

Ship Matteo back to Italy.

Get used to the idea.

You bring in Vanicola

or we back off.

Southwest Division,
all point search

Matteo witness John Vanicola

negative as of this date and time.

All right,
tell them to keep with it.

- Anything in New Mexico?
- Yeah, there was a message

that came in from the
Mexican Boarder Patrol

about an hour ago,
it's in the files.

- In the files?
- Yeah.

- It was negative.
- I want any report

that has to do with Matteo,
negative or otherwise.

Now get it.

Faster.

Ah, well, tell her I'll be late.

Should I take a repeat murder
to FBI Chicago Division.

With you it's always
repeating or...

Your next numbers
are 14658 Norton Bradley,

seen in the company
of John Vanicola.

May, June 1967.

Chicago reported
a blind run on that,

they couldn't come up
with any Norton Bradly.

Repeat and urgent,
my information came

from a third person present
at those meetings.

Mr. Baker?

Those guys out in Chicago
worked their keisters off

on this one, you mind
checking with your informant?

Send that damn message.

I'm not angry with you.

I hate you.

I don't trust you.

I'll never get involved
with you again.

But I am not angry.

When I left tonight,
the smells from that kitchen.

Do you think I cannot
be alone with you?

I can resist you
with no trouble whatsoever.

It's Tonio's cooking
I can't resist.

Do you remember the man
that was stabbed in the casino?

- Yes.
- He was supposed to testify

- against him.
- Really?

You take care of it, Roberto,
you know what I like.

Happy to, sir, thank you,
Mr. Bennett.

I got word from
our people in the south.

I think they've located
John Vanicola.

Do you think?

Well, we can't be certain.

Hiding out like that it's possible

he's changed his appearance.

You know, nose job, hair died.

I wish he'd get in touch with me

instead of running out like that.

He knows my head is on
the chopping block,

he leaves himself open
for a police pickup.

I made him a rich man, you know.

When I met him he was playing
clarinet in some cheap dive.

Selling grass between sets.

Did I say something?

We've got the right man.

Means there's no case against you.

You're in the clear.

Not yet.

First, Vanicola.

Where is he?

He was here a moment ago,
I'll find him.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Ahn Dessie of Anboto

is about to prove that
there is no limit

to the gyrations possible
for the human body to perform

when encouraged
by the right sound.

Woohoo!

What's wrong with you,
you were like this

that night on the boat.

Manicure?

Manicure?

Uh, no.

Dammit, no, Frank.

Now listen, Cardinali
has been around every time

one of our witness was killed.

I'm telling you, he's our man.

No, you're telling me
more than that.

You're suggesting Cardinali

is Matteo's personal contract man.

Why not?
Cardinali is the only person

anwvhere near both murders.

Well, your conclusions
are pure speculation of course.

Keep at it.

See if you can get him
into the category

of circumstantial evidence.

I'm gonna put him
under surveillance.

In Cardinali's crowd
that's not gonna be easy.

Anybody we've got is gonna
stick out like a sore thumb.

I'll find somebody that'll fit in.

- For instance?
- It's maybe better

if you don't know.

I might have to
bend the rules a little.

Ah, George, none of that.

I've seen too many cases
kicked out of court

because the rules of evidence
were tampered with.

- Frank, I'll be careful.
- No, George.

You've got the evidence,
we'll request FBI help.

But we can't ask them
to investigate royalty

and shipping magnets
without evidence.

If I can't get
hard evidence legally,

I'm dammed if I'm gonna sit around

and scratch my ass while Matteo
makes a sucker out of me.

I thought we were
talking about Cardinali?

George, I'm tired of your
personal war with Matteo.

Get used to the idea.

I'm deporting him to Italy.

Let me guess.

Um.

Darling llleana,

this time it's going
to be different.

This time, I'm not going
to ask you to leave,

I'll go.

So generous.

Is that your way of saying,
don't ever come back again?

It's my way of saying
I care a great deal about you.

That's all I can say.

Is it a black girl?

It's not anyone

and I do want you to come back.

Yeah, that's half the fun
of knowing isn't it?

We'll bounce back
after being kicked around.

Illeana, please.

And if I didn't bounce back
ever again,

you haven't given that
much thought have you?

Well, you better start thinking.

Illeana, take it please,
you'll need it.

The immigration authorities
can't bother you

if you have a source of income.

Please, let me do that for you.

I don't want you
to do anything for me,

I just want you to go to hell.

Just go to hell.

Thank you.

Let me see your passport.

Grazie.

- Cesare, how are you?
- Very well, thank you.

Well, I suppose the first thing
I should say, thank you.

I don't see that that's necessary.

In fact, I didn't expect
we'd ever meet again.

Well, I thought it'd be nice
to meet to say thanks,

to make plans to ask if there's
anything I can do for you.

I don't need a thing, thank you.

I wish you did.

I owe you a lot.

You don't owe me anything.

The way I see it
all debts are paid.

Yours and mind, that leaves
only a condition of mine.

You see, that's why I thought
it'd be a good idea to meet.

I follow your logic.

I save your life.

You save mine,
that makes us square, ey.

- Yes.
- But we can go by your logic.

Look, you think that
when I saved your life

I thought to myself,
"Ah-ha, someday I'll ask him

"to save my life." No.

We... the society
we store up favors.

You would be surprised
who owes us favors.

Maybe we'll never ask
but if we need them

they're in the right places.

High places.

The list is that long.

I made no deal with your society.

I made it with you.

You know,
you're playing with words.

It was my money
that set you up in business,

that paid for your racing cars,

your imported franchise.

I even bought you
the winner spot a few times.

Until the impoverished
Count Cardinali

achieved an
international reputation.

No, my friend,
you didn't win them all.

The society's money did that.

When you make a deal with me

you make it with the society,
it's the same thing.

By your logic.

That's the way we have to do it.

When other people need help
they look up, they ask God.

The society can't do that, so...

we keep one of our own top side,
so to speak.

All right,
you want to kill me now?

Tomorrow, someone else
will call on you.

I killed three men
to save your life

and you call him one of your own.

It's stupid,
can't you see that it's stupid.

No matter where I go
I'm recognized.

How long do you think
I can get away with it?

You're special,
we always choose the best.

Some people have the capacity
to kill, others don't.

I'm not telling you
something you don't know.

An hour after you shoved that
night into Bruno's gut

you took his woman again, huh.

Killing, it turns you on.

That makes you a valuable asset.

If there's anything I can do
for you, let me know, huh.

Through the post office
in Longonia.

And remember the binoculars
are on you too.

Oh, excuse me.

Cesare! Oh!

How perfectly delightful!

My God, you look wonderful.

What are you up to now?

We're going to an opening tonight.

This event
has attracted celebrities

from all walks of life.

There's international sportsman
Cesare Cardinali,

who builds and races his own cars.

He's a favorite...

Don't crap me.

You're here to make a deal.

Ifl like it, I buy;

If I don't, you go screw.

Dutch Wehrman,
Allie Fargo in the crowd,

I want you to give him
a little inside information.

The Stiletto is Cardinali,
the car importer.

Don't look so scared, thief.

I'm not gonna ask any questions.

This time,
I'm passing out answers.

Like, uh, for instance,

the Stiletto is Cardinali.

Thought you were a tough guy.

Wanna know
who killed your brother?

Cardinali, the Stiletto.

Hmph.

Don Andrea.

How are you?

Emilio.

Every moment for me
is filled with amusement.

Five years ago, they tell me

I was about to die.

And yet, here I am.

My ladies alongside of me,

they keep my blood warm

and remind me
that life is precious.

So, I stay.

Now, this young man, Cardinali.

Yes, Don Andrea.

The Society owes its existence

to one simple rule, Emilio.

One simple rule that has helped us

survive many wars,
many difficult times,

and made us the power
we are today.

That rule is our strength.

No man can exist
who violates the security

of more than his own.

You brought him to us,

you put him right.

It'll be taken care of.

Burned out.

The sort of thing that
shortens a mechanic's life.

It could have been worse.

Could've happened tomorrow
during the race.

You want me to phone
and fetch a tow?

Yes.

It'll be a while
before they turn up.

Why don't you come
and get out of the cold?

I'll get to work as soon
as we get back to the shop.

I'll have us in shape for the race

if I have to stay up all night.

Look out for Watson.

He knows what to do.

Who sent you?

Who sent you?

Look, who?

- I don't know who...
- Who? Who?

It was a contract.

I don't know who set it up.

- People in New York.
- Who?

Contract. Contract!

Why?

People in New York.

- Why?
- Cops, the cops, the cops!

Hmph.

Dis... your girl?

Yeah.

Hm.

I think I take her for myself.

Whoo!

Who is that?

You don't know?

That's Hannibal Smith.

He runs the Harlem branch
of a company

whose home office
is in Palermo, Sicily.

And he's looking for you.

They're still there.

Yes.

You can stop it, you know.

How?

Is the better to do as they ask.

Do as they ask?

That means to be on call
for murder.

After you made your pact
with Matteo,

many years went by before
he asked anything of you.

Maybe many more years
will go by before...

Tonio, if you think time
is gonna make them

forget about me,

you're mistaken.

And I'm not ready
to consign my future to them.

What I'm trying to say
is that it isn't necessary

to make that decision now.

Why refuse now?

Why die tonight for something
you can refuse to do

five years from now?

Those men whom you...
Vanicola and the others.

They were hiding, running.

That's what you'll do now.

What I am saying

is that I don't want
to be like that with you.

When a man is
concerned with death,

the business of living
comes to a standstill.

S0?

Arrange a meeting with Matteo.

Ask him to put an end to that.

Make him understand.

Convince him that you will, you...

ComPW-

I will comply.

I will comply.

But how do I arrange
a meeting with Matteo?

I doubt that I can even
get across the street.

She won't ask questions,

and she'll do anything you ask.

Well, what's happening?

He's asked me to go to Italy.

I'm to deliver this to the postman

in the village of Longonia.

There's nothing in it.

Yeah?

Is he gonna wait
in the apartment for you?

Well?

I don't know.

But when I get back,

I'm to check in at the Plaza
and wait for his call.

What has he done?

Why won't you tell me?

No, I won't do it.

You go Italy or you're
gonna go back to Poland.

I wonder what a girl like you
does for your kicks in Poland.

Kennedy airport.

Find the immigration office.

Please.

Please don't make me
do this to him.

I do love him.

I got a hunch he'll survive that.

Think about your future.

He hasn't got one.

He's asking for a meet.

Ifl can catch Cardinali
and Matteo together,

I got him. Let's go.

Cesare is very fortunate,
you know.

Most people think
he's a playboy... he's not.

It's just that everything he likes

is good for his business...

Fast cars, excitement, danger,
lovely women.

Tell me, where are you from'?

The last place I left.

Cesare trusts you.

If he did, I'd know why I'm here.

I don't.

You sure you'll have no lunch?

Oh no, no, thank you.

Return to your hotel.

I'll send instructions
this afternoon.

Goodbye.

How 'bout a hot dog?

Almost too late.

Cop still there?

Yeah.

Northwest corner facing east.

What's the word?

Hang in there.

I'll take care of it.

We found the motorcycle,
Mr. Baker.

Over here.

Plaza Hotel, good morning.

Good morning.

Has Miss Dobronski checked in yet?

One moment, please, I'll ring her.

- Hello?
- Hello... uh, Miss Dobronski?

- Yes?
- Would you hold on

a moment, please?

Come on, Cesare,
she's on the line.

Meana?

Cesare!

Are you all right?

Did you see that man?

Yes.

Did he agree to meet me?

It's tomorrow at noon
in Puerto Rico.

It's at the Hotel El Conquistador.

Stay where you are
until you hear from me.

Cesare!

Cesare?

Do come in.

You want to know
where the meeting is to be?

I wrote it down for you.

What does it mean?

Where is this place?

It means exactly what it says.

The meeting is to take place

in the home of Enrico Victoria.

There must be
more to it than that.

What else do you know about it?

Nothing.

That's what gives me
such pleasure.

There's nothing more
I can tell you.

The home of Enrico Victoria.

You're lying.

No.

The home of Enrico Victoria.

See you in Embordo, huh?

Why?

Business.

'Tis business to do it.

One little fella
breaks into property, crime.

Another fella buys
the ear of the judge, crime.

Vice, dope, gamble?
All crime.

Our big fellas put
all little fellas together,

lead them.

In time, we seize
the entire country.

Crime?

No.

Conquest.

Business.

Girl like you
threaten the conquest.

That is why.

If you run,

we kill your father in your stead.

And we get you later.

Hm?

Miss Dobronski?

Miss llleana Dobronski'?

- Are you Miss Dobronski?
- Yes.

Telephone call for you,
will you follow me, please?

Here.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Hello?

Go to the rail.

Now look up.

He asked you to come.

I came because he didn't ask me.

I see.

Do you love him?

Don't you ever ask questions?

Do you always tell people?

Come up here, please,
the Ocean Suite.

Now.

Excuse me.

Good morning, sir.

Anybody here
by the name of Matteo?

Right, sir.

No, there is no one
registered by that name, sir.

He'll be arriving soon.

Look for him out front.

Remain here until I return.

Excuse me, sir.

You have a twelve o'clock
appointment.

I will take you to the gentleman.

He's waiting.

- Where?
- I have a car.

Cesare.

Change your mind
about the Society, eh'?

Come here.

You got yourself
in one hell of a fix.

Well, don't worry about it.

We'll take care of it.
