Original subtitles

We're here in the Church of Santa Maria della Sanité,

where a memorial service has just been held

for Vincenzo Strozzalone, known as "The Fish King

Law Enforcement is closely watching the proceedings

after yesterday's massacre at the Port of Naples.

Vincenzo!

My love...

love...

This will be our last walk together.

Oh why?

How I loved you!

You were a marvelous husband!

Marvelous!

Let's go.

"Dying for a traitorous bullet"

"In this city full of crooks"

"That stabs us all in the back"

"The most honest and even the saints"

"I was jinxed!"

"Why did they shoot me?"

"Who are these people mourning me?"

"How come you're not there, my Carmela?"

"And my kids and friends"

"why aren't they here?"

"I've never seen this priest before!"

"This old bird and this cow" "who looks pregnant"

"I don't remember: who are they?"

"There's the news."

"And also the Police."

"it's strange I don't see Auntie Maria!"

"A widow decked out in mourning"

"Who talks with the love of Padre Pio..."

"I would like to tell her," "but it wouldn't be good manners"

"that her dearly departed isn't me!"

"Wreathes and the air thick with incense"

"Honor the death of don Vincenzo"

"Which is not my name"

"Because my name is Franco"

"For crying out loud," "I don't know that guy!"

"Who the fuck is don Vincenzo?"

"Who the fuck?!"

"I want to die, thank God!"

LOVE AND THE LAWLESS

5 days earlier

"The truth is in Naples I left a band of idiots

who couldn't find their own dicks!"

"we"

"are the ones"

"who are under house arrest"

"we"

"we are"

"we are the pushers"

"And I'm the undercover cop!"

"I'm the Virgil of Le Vele," "the dark side of Naples"

"And when I arrive, they know the decorations have gotta go"

"And they gotta cut the laughing" when I show up!"

"'Cause fear is the hottest selling" postcard in Scampia"

"And the loving mommas" have gotta go"

"it's best there's no sun" It's best, believe me!"

"These tourists wanna photograph fear"

"Today in Naples only Scampia sells!"

- Hello? - Is Miss Fatima Valente?

- L'ts me, but who is? - 'Morning, I'm calling from San Gennaro.

Good morning.

We need a substitution for tonight.

- Tonight? - Are you available?

- Yes, I am, but what time? - At 9:00 pm.

Yes, okay.

Alvaro, Chiappé...

Sing away, I'm working tonight!

Good birdies!

"Who the fuck is don Vincenzo?" Who the fuck?"

"Who the fuck is don Vincenzo?"

G'morning.

G'morning!

In fifteen years he's only learned G'morning...

Now he's studying G'night...

He can do it... yes he can...

- G'morning, don Vincenzo! - No distractions, stay focused.

Work well, work hard!

How are the mussels, this morning?

Beautiful, don Vincenzo! 125 kilos ready to go!

And these? They're... staying home?

They look tired, withered, without water, or am I wrong?

- We're chucking them. - Chucking them?

They're too small for the fish shops.

So pack 'em with the big ones,

and make a nice happy family and unite them to the NATO Base order.

You think so?

Americans are a great people, but they don't know mussels from missiles.

As you wish.

- Why? Better as YOU wish? - Goodness no.

Who is this guy?

Just a minute, kid!

Don Vincenzo, it's all over for you!

Oh fuck!

Forgive me, Giuseppe!

For the love of God, don't move!

Okay guys, come in!

Everybody hold still! Now move, against the wall!

Don Vincenzo Strozzalone is hiding! Find him!

They're all there! Run this way!

There he is!

Stop, you fucks! Whaddya doing?! It's Strozzalone we gotta find!

Pistillo, he's not here!

Come on guys, 9°!

Finish him! Make sure he's dead!

- The Tigers! - The Tigers!

Stop or I'll kill him!

Please, don't shoot, I beg you!

Keep calm, Chink!

"Now what, eh?"

"Everyone knows that...,"

"you're the Tigers"

"and you follow a code."

"You would never put a friend's life" at risk,"

"so now his life, for mine,"

"we'll make an exchange..."

"Whaddya gonna do, eh?"

"You're the Tigers!"

"What else can you do?"

What's this? We're gonna let him walk?

Rosario, relax.

His name is already on a bullet

- Where's Nunzio? - Home

Mother of God, Pistillo! Would you at least call me?!

You wanna give me ulcers?!

Who told you about the Tigers in Posillipo?!

That's where they had to be!

Why? They were with don Vincenzo?

Eugenio, Capafresca, Luca and even his brother,

...all dead. Only I survived!

Sonsabitches! I'll strangle them!

Shut up, zip it, no talking!

But Don Vincenzo, the Fish King, did you kill him?

I shot him myself.

That chump hid himself in the mussels...

So he's dead?

"Ciao."

"Tom,"

"it's late,"

"the taxi's already here."

"I'll lose my plane!"

"Great idea, lose it!"

"I beg you, don't leave."

"Why?"

"Because..."

"Because fighting with you" "is better than loving another."

"Because I can't imagine" "a world without you."

"Enough!"

"No! No, listen to me!"

"Nobody," "will ever love you like me."

"Enough, I said!"

"Tom, it's not necessary."

"you already convinced me" "when you said ciao."

Mother of God!

- I'll send you back home by boat! - Lucia, what happened?

Look what you did!

The bottle! An accident!

I should hope so! You beggar!

Don't worry, I clean up.

- Lucia! - Signora.

- What happened here? - This nitwit has hands of ricotta!

Oil, not ricotta!

This is good oil, not your country's crap!

In my country I cook with my grandma's oil.

And who buys the 2 liter bottles? Your grandmother?

- Why? 'Cause you bought it? - Yes, with your money, signora.

Exactly. And do you pay her salary?

It's always you, signora.

So? You gotta shut your trap!

- Get up and pass her the rag. - Then how can I clean?

- Lucia will clean! - Me?! Why, signora?

Because now I'm the mistress, but I never forget I was born a servant!

And you, a maid, want to play the mistress?

Clean up, Lucia.

"You're humble with the strong"

"And have no scruples with the weak"

"But everyone needs to be respected"

"Those below like those above"

"Some are born with talent to sing"

"Others instead to command"

"Look at me: I respect others"

"And I know I'll be respected back"

"And like this I reached"

"this life that you so envy"

"We're all slaves of something"

"But some have a fire inside"

"And can break the chains"

"That block their lives!"

"Now listen to your mistress"

"Who knows what being" "a servant means"

"- Washing sheets that..." - ...aren't yours!

"- Cooking pasta that's..." "- ...not for you!"

"- Written on your door there's..." - ...another name!

"- Cleaning toilets full of..." "- ...other people's shit!"

"- Not even your dreams..." "- ...are your own!"

"Clothes, the sheets, the floor"

"All belong to the mistress," "you're nothing!"

"Wash, iron and dust down and up:"

"it's like you're condemned..." "without fault!"

"We're all slaves of something"

"But some have a fire inside"

"And can break the chains"

"That block their lives!"

"We're all slaves of something"

"But some have a fire inside"

"And can break the chains"

"That block their lives!"

Get out!

Go on, beat it.

Why, what happened?

- Maria! - Vincenzo! What happened to you?

- They shot me in the ass! - No!

- Madonna, does it hurt? - Let me hug her!

No, careful, the oil!

That fucking Romanian, for fuck's sake!

Slow down, watch the potholes!

No, hurry! Your wound might be infected with shellfish.

I feel like I've been cooked, a la marinara!

Slow down, I'm dying!

Instead Naples needs to know you're alive,

and that piece of shit Nunzio didn't even touch you!

If I had died in the mussels nobody'd be busting my balls now.

You wanna be like 007 in "You only live twice"?

They shot 007 in the ass too?

- 007 in the ass? Are you kidding?! - I didn't see that one.

They killed him in the beginning and gave him a funeral

but only for show,

and playing dead, he screwed everybody!

I'd like to screw everybody and disappear,

and end my worries!

But don Vincenzo, you're the Boss!

This life's too shitty, Gennaro,

always running to get away, or avoid arrest...

Wouldn't it be better to get shot?

Exactly!

Is there an Ettore here?

You're right.

We can't go on like this! You need to be shot!

- Another time? - Yes.

- But this time you really die! - Not good, dear wife.

Listen to me, we'll do a 007,

then a funeral and we disappear but not for a week,

for the rest of our lives, just me and you!

You made a fine movie, in your head.

But we're millionaires, we've got plenty of money.

We can live gloriously, without cares, as you say!

We have properties, our money's blocked.

How can I get money, if I play dead?

The diamonds!

24 diamonds, darling, big like this!

One for every anniversary, remember?

I paid... How could I forget?

I always figured that... if something tragic happened to you,

with those diamonds I could still live a good life!

Ah, what a sweet thought. You really care about me, eh?

Now they're for both of us, darling!

What for?

The show!

I play the widow and you play dead!

All right, we have everything except my corpse,

so my funeral's out of the question!

Vincenzo...

I think we even have the corpse.

These sparkling ones look much much better, signora.

You know you look just like my husband?

Really?

A dead ringer!

So, agreed? We'll do it like this.

You stay nice and calm. I'll talk to Ciro and Rosario.

Yeah, you talk.

- Get out. - How? In reverse gear?

- Go, go. - Easy, easy, don't push!

- Maria! - No, no pushing.

- It hurts! - From behind.

- Hurry up. - Put it here, that's it.

Easy, don Vincenzo.

- Sure nobody can see us? - It's all closed.

The curve, the curve! Madonna!

What the fuck?!

Ciro, Rosario, we need to talk.

At your command, Donna Maria.

You two have been a blessing for me and Vincenzo.

What can we say?

Without you, Ciro and me would be parking cars.

Rosario, hand on my heart...

The cost of your training

you repaid it a thousand times, and now we owe you.

I have good news.

Me and Vincenzo have decided

that all the fish of Pozzuoli now passes to the two of you.

You'll become bosses.

Donna Maria... for me it's like a dream.

And you, Ciro? Nothing? You don't like this gift?

What can I say? I don't understand.

That's your main source of profit and you give it away? For free?

You're right, but it's not free.

It costs a little.

The four of us need to make an oath,

a secret pact,

that only we know and nobody else in the world.

- What's it about? - We need to put on a show.

So that everybody, even the Police, believes that Vincenzo is dead.

- But only pretending, eh? - They know, Gennaro!

Vincenzo is tired...

We want to leave Naples, for good.

And so we decided

that Gennaro takes Vincenzo's place at the head of the organization,

and you two take Pozzuoli,

which is pretty good, right?

I'd say like this everybody's happy.

Doctor, wait a sec, stop, I need to talk.

- We gotta talk. - Tell me.

Let me see your eyes, no?!

At your disposal, Don Vincenzo.

You see this hand? There's a gift for you.

A gift?

A brand new red Ferrari,

six thousand CC, twelve valves, two hundred bar,

direct injection, key in hand.

Where's the key?

In due time, if you manage to keep a big secret of mine.

Don Vincenzo, me, talking?!

Wait a minute!

In this other hand there's something else.

The registration certificate?

Registration certificate?!

The radio?

- What? - Your death!

Oh Madonna... What did I do?

Tomorrow the papers will announce my death.

But Don Vincenzo, it's a short and pleasant operation...

Maybe pleasant with you ass!

Doctor Spadafora!

Despite the news, I'll be alive! Nobody has to know!

If you don't tell anybody I'm alive...

I'll hand you over the car...

- Otherwise? - I'll take you to the junkyard.

First the car, then you.

What a lady Donna Maria is!

There are no more women like that.

Have yourself a laugh! We're rich!

Eyes closed on top of the cliffs of Mergellina with a beer in your hand...

that's wealth, Rosario, like when we were kids.

It's him.

Donna Maria, you were right.

- He looks a lot like Don Vincenzo. - Yes, in his own way.

Like in the "Marchese del Grillo," remember the Carbonaro?

The same face as the Marchese, but without the nobility.

Donna Maria, now it's best you're not here.

Why? Do what you have to, and don't fret about me.

GO, Q0, go'

"In the shadow of God"

"You see me walk"

"I'm the second man"

"The first's not here"

"He told me everything"

"Your name"

"Who you are"

"And what's coming to you"

"My life"

"ls one big wait"

"For my boss"

"To tell me what to do"

"'Cause I'm not in charge"

"And I have to serve him"

"And you can't ever imagine"

"How much I love him"

"I'm the second man"

"And I have to make do"

Hold it, come here, over here!

What'd I do? You want money?

Here, take it.

Unfortunately only a clean fifty.

Gimme!

Beat it!

Get lost, beggar!

- I can go? - Turn!

"The wind turns and it seems" "to say to me:"

"One day all this will change"

"The wind turns and seems to give me"

"The strength I need to command"

"The wind turns and seems to say:"

"A whole life can turn around"

"The wind turns and seems to give me"

"The strength I need to command"

"But I'm the second man"

"And that's as far as I can go"

"I'm the second man"

"That's who I want to be..."

He really does resemble him, Donna Maria.

I don't know, Gennaro...

It's him but it's not him. Know what I mean?

Something doesn't convince me.

He's got an expression that...

Wait a minute...

The wart. He's got a wart here!

My husband doesn't have one.

Now neither does he.

Aren't you happy a little? Just a little happy?

I don't know.

With this Pozzuoli stuff

Between now and Christmas we'll rake in a million,

and you're not happy...

Ciro, let's make a deal: the trucks, the boats...

the port... I'll take care of everything.

You only do one thing, stay close to me.

Watch my back like an angel... We go 50-50.

- I should live scrounging off you? - For me you're a real friend.

I only trust you, and trust in the world has no price.

So what do we do? Are we partners?

Are we?

Partners, Rosario.

All right!

We're the Tigers, right? And nobody messes with us.

Hello? Channel 21?

I got big news.

There was a gunfight, they shot Vincenzo Strozzalone, the Fish King...

He's dead!

Oh the pain, mamma mia...

- What are you doing here alone? - Who's there?

Don't worry, it's the anesthesia, it's normal.

It's the anesthesia, relax.

The Tigers...

Put down this arm, just relax, eh?

You old pig!

Ciro!

You're here? Don Vincenzo's in there.

He's doing very well.

MY ass!

- Who is it? - You don't feel well?

Niuuuurrrssss...

The news?

Ah, he's a dickhead... Where's Ciro?

- Don Vincenzo... - Ciro!

A nurse?

...saw...

- You saw a nurse? - Fuck off!

- A nurse saw him! - Yes!

Don't worry, Don Vincenzo, we'll take care of it.

Kill her!

What's this nurse like?

I'll check inside that building, you go there.

Leave me alone!

There she is.

Take a bed bottle to number 9.

I gotta do everything tonight? Can't she go?

Ines has a baby girl, when we can, we let her sleep.

So to rest, a girl's gotta get pregnant?

No, just snarl back and they won't call you anymore.

Sorry, you can't be here, visiting hours are over.

Ciro!

Don't you recognize me?

I'm Fatima!

"Ciro, what's the matter?"

"Don't you remember anymore?"

"I'm Fatima, my love"

"Is that you?"

"You still look like the boy"

"Who used to hold my hand"

"And whose eyes would say"

"I love you".

"Then one day gone wrong"

"I don't know what happened"

"Crying, you ran far away"

"What became of you?"

"Where did you go?"

"I've waited my whole life"

"And now you're here!"

"Don't you remember?"

"What we had?"

"I never fell in love again"

"After you!"

"I hated and cried"

"But now that you're here"

"Like back then, you make me..."

"Fall in love!"

"How beautiful it is"

"That you're back"

"I never fell in love again"

"After you!"

"I love you"

"I want you again"

"True love is only born once"

"And never dies!"

"True love..."

"...savage gunfight in Pozzuoli that" "caused a veritable bloodbath."

"Several workers were killed" "and four still unidentified persons,"

"who were probably part" "of the death squad."

"Following an anonymous call,"

"our crew was the first" "to reach the crime scene."

- Let's go downstairs a moment. - No Ciro, I can't.

The head nurse is a bitch. Big trouble.

Only a minute, come on!

Damn it to hell...

I'll tell her I went to the bathroom!

"Vincenzo Strozzalone's corpse" "was found..."

You see? Strozzalone's dead.

- Uncle, I'm a fucking gunslinger! - Good going, Pistillo!

This calls for a toast to the memory of Vincenzo Strozzalone:

- The king of my one-eyed fish! - Darling, don't be vulgar!

- Here's looking at... - Strozzalone!

It's her!

Madonna, it's amazing... I'm still in shock!

- Fatima... - Wait, don't talk.

Let's look at you...

Why that face?

Aren't you happy to see me?

I loved you heart and soul.

You were my whole life...

But it was better we never met.

What the fuck?!

Don't move!

Drop that gun, you idiot!

Forgive me, Rosario, I have no choice.

Hop on, Fatima.

Stop, Ciro!

What are you doing?!

Why did you shoot at that guy?

- Later, I can't hear you! - No, stop!

You gotta keep quiet, it's not the time!

Good thing we have our Panic Room.

- Hurry up. - Yes.

Hurry.

Just a moment.

Lean on me.

"Panic Room" is the title of a famous American movie?

Yes, right, with Jodie Foster.

She had crooks in her house and locked herself in the panic room.

- I understand... - With her daughter...

In our case it's just the opposite, we're the crooks

and we bunker ourselves with a panic attack... never mind...

- Wait, the cushion. - Does this doughnut work?

- Of course, it's specially made. - Ad hoc?

Wait.

Wait, wait...

- How is it? - Soft.

- Thank goodness. - Bull's-eye...

I only feel this side... The anesthesia's still going.

Your sister called. She went crazy.

- What did you say? - That you're dead!

- Pointblank, without explaining? - Of course!

If I explained things to your sister, it would come out in all the newspapers.

When my mother finds out I'm dead, she'll get a fulminating stroke.

Your mother's head is shot, she's totally out of it.

She's on in years, but lucid, not a vegetable!

Nobody must know you're alive.

My darling, that's the plan!

News of her son's death is a sorrow that she won't bear.

- Nobody must know, Vincenzo. - No, Maria...

I can't give such a sorrow to my momma.

But this is the only way for you and me to live happily ever after.

- You think? - Far from everybody.

No, I can't do it.

What? You don't want me forever?

- That, yes. - With your queen.

That I want.

So? Now I'll take care of momma.

- What'll you do? - Just leave it to me.

You do everything...

Maria!

Ugh the pain!

We can't do it.

- Wait... - She'll get over it, you'll see...

Wait. My ass!

- Don Vincenzo! - Who is it?

- Sorry. - Sorry your ass!

Don't you see I'm intimate with my wife?

We're still at zero, Rosario, don't worry...

What's the matter?

Ciro ran away with the nurse.

What does that mean?

He shot my bike and took off with her.

I knew it! He's in cahoots with Salernitano.

- What? - Ciro organized the attack!

Ciro's not a back-stabber! The problem is the nurse!

I think he knows her real well.

- Do you know her? - Never saw her before.

He never mentioned her to me, but I saw them kissing.

Kissing? He lost his mind.

- We lost Ciro, Maria! - Calm down, or the wound will open.

Everything's ripping apart, this doughnut is crap!

Where did you find it? It's all your fault.

MY fault?!

Ciro was normal when we met him.

Then because of your obsession for the movies,

you made him study karate to be like Bruce Lee.

What's wrong with that?

You insisted on calling that Jap to also study Kung Fu.

First: what's-his-name the Jap was Chinese, Cheng Zong Wu.

Great name.

The number one master of Shanghai!

Instead his motorcycle stunt maestro was Filipino?

No, from Pozzuoli.

Stuntman from Pozzuoli? A dumb shit...

All right, but 007 instead?

The knife thrower? The explosives expert?

For as long as he was useful, you liked having the Tiger watching over you, eh?

But you turned the Tiger into a Hollywood star who's now at war with us!

That's enough, Vincenzo, crying over the past is useless.

Strong men face the present to build the future.

The fuckers instead forget the past

and break the balls of honest people like us!

Rosario...

- Are you still with us? - You even ask?

Even now against Ciro?

Donna Maria, I'm still the same guy.

It's Ciro who changed, into who knows what!

All you need to know is we can't trust him anymore, and that's that!

He betrayed us all.

We lost a son.

- There's gotta be an explanation. - There's nothing to explain.

Hop on your fucking motorcycle and hunt down your friend!

Kill him!

Hey, Ciro, Uncle's boy, how are you?

Now, CHO'?

But I'm going to Torre Annunziata to deliver some crazy fireworks...

and I got the cops on my ass too.

Mother of God!

What are you saying?

Five minutes and I'm there, don't worry!

Uncle, hurry!

Did you pee? Tell me what the hell's going on?

- Lend me your phone, please? - Even that now?!

I need to make a call. Mine is dead.

- What the fuck?! - Trust me, it was necessary.

Necessary? I swear...

I'll drown you unless you tell me what's going on!

Remember Uncle Mimmo, papa's brother?

The smuggler? What about him?

He's coming to hide you, meanwhile I'll take care of everything.

- Ciro, are you joking? - It's serious, Fatima.

"Take care of everything"... "serious". What are you talking about?

Hey, wait a minute...

That guy's the Fish King?

Dead on TV, alive in the hospital. And I saw him.

Is that why I have to hide? I'm in danger, eh?

- Talk! Am I in danger yes or no? - Yes.

They wanna kill me?

Don't you worry, I'll fix everything!

Why were you in the hospital with the others, eh?

And don't try to bullshit me 'cause I know you've become a hood...

You...

You were supposed to kill me? You?!

But I didn't know it was you!

I was so happy to see you again! Shows you how stupid I am!

If I could cancel myself from the face of the earth, I'd do it right now!

Get those hands off me, you're a murderer!

Hurry up, come on!

Quick now, go with Uncle Mimmo.

Fatima, please, listen to me!

Donna Maria, the clan leaders are here.

Wait a minute...

- Vincenzo? - Eh?

Do I look like a grieving widow?

A great interpretation, my darling.

So I can go?

- Ciao, my love. - Ciao.

Come on, let's go.

Be strong.

Donna Maria's here.

Donna Maria, my deepest condolences.

Thank you.

Condolences.

Thank you.

Donna Maria, we're all heartbroken.

I know, thank you.

Donna Maria, we heard about the Salernitano,

consider him dead.

Yes, rest assured, we're competing to see who shoots him first.

I thank you...

but worry about that later,

first there's a much bigger disgrace.

It was Ciro who betrayed Vincenzo.

He sold him, and lured him into the trap.

He had him killed!

Go and tell all of Naples about this betrayal...

and announce that Donna Maria Strozzalone

will give a million Euros to whoever delivers the head of Ciro Langella.

"I was only 15 years old"

"When papa was killed out at sea"

"And he left me all alone"

"Alone"

"In this world of killers"

"I only wanted revenge"

"I joined a criminal gang"

"They gave me a gun and a family"

"And turned me into an assassin"

"They told me"

"That defending honor"

"Must always"

"Come before the heart"

"But I"

"Can't kill love"

"And this girl"

"Stole my heart"

"Underworld boy"

"You've been condemned"

"There's no way out"

"Now just make yourself scarce"

"Or you'll be the one who's killed"

"Underworld boy"

"You've been condemned"

"There's no way out"

"Putting your heart ahead"

"Has always made a fool of everybody"

What a shame!

Hello, Angelino?

Everything all right?

Angelina's on the floor, by my feet.

Ciro, what did you do to Angeline?

His octopus salad was out of this world, too bad!

What? You killed Angelino? How could you?!

Angelino was in my house with a gun, and not to say hello.

All this for a nurse...

- What's so special about this nurse? - You can't understand.

Leave Naples, I don't wanna kill you too!

How goodhearted! You betray and I gotta escape.

I love you like a brother, don't get involved.

Ciro, remember what they said taking us down to the skulls?

Yeah... "Look how easy dying is".

And All of us have an appointment with Death.

"You broke the first law of this world"

"You betrayed your companions"

"Now for me you're no longer a Tiger"

"And blood, you know," "is washed with other blood"

"I remember what you were for me"

"I remember how we grew up together"

"I remember the good and the regrets"

"We were better than all the others"

"But I can no longer be the same for you"

"Now you can no longer call me brother"

"I've closed all the doors of my heart"

"And now for you I'm only death"

We've got an appointment.

I'm coming to look for you!

"Underworld boy"

"You've been condemned"

"There's no way out"

"Now make yourself scarce"

"Or you'll be the one who's killed"

Where were you. Did you see Ciro?

No, I haven't seen him.

I got you some clothes, this way you can change.

They belonged to Mariella, my daughter.

Now she's studying in America.

She received a scholarship and now she's doing her "mastrers"

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Have you contacted Ciro? How is he? What's he doing?

I haven't seen him or heard him.

Do me a favor, lend me your phone, I'll call him.

I don't have his number.

You think I'm stupid? Give it to me right now!

Listen carefully:

Ciro insisted that you stay put.

- Like a prisoner? - No.

Like someone who out on the streets of Naples, risks being killed.

So be a good girl, eh? Be good.

"Chaos continues to reign among" "the Camorra clans of Naples"

"after the death of Vincenzo Strozzalone" "known as the Fish King."

May he rest in peace.

Tell that man that I'm still the Fish King!

I know... Or do you wanna resuscitate?

It's best I play dead in my bunker.

Look what I brought you.

Passports!

I love you!

So, let's see...

I didn't change your first name, because I still wanna call you Vincenzo.

But your last name... look...

Ranieri? I have to be the singer?

Singer!? Like Prince Ranieri of Monaco!

- All right? - Yes.

- What's your name? - My name is...

- Grazia Chelli. - Who's that?

- Like the Princess. - Always Monaco?

- Always Monaco. - I don't speak German, eh?

We'll learn it.

"The soldier in love"

"Was already written and sung about"

"I'll tell you the story of another"

"Of a man alone and desperate"

"I've set off to war"

"Already knowing I won't be back"

"I placed myself against the world"

"But I wanted that girl there"

"cry"

"Cry, woman"

"Over the white gown you won't ever wear"

"Because your love" "is without dream or hope"

"You're not even married" "and already a widow"

Uncle, are you sleeping?

"The vendetta of those in charge"

"ls merciless and never-ending"

"In every alley there's a gun"

"Those who fail must pay"

"cry"

"Cry, woman"

"For all the children you'll never raise"

"For a kiss this mouth" "has never had"

"You're not even married..."

"And already a widow"

Uncle, let's go.

"More blood in Naples."

"Five charred bodies were found" "aboard a wreck anchored outside Bacoli."

"They could be connected" "to yesterday's triple murder,"

"and to the death of Vincenzo" "Strozzalone, known as the Fish King..."

Attorney Mungo, of the firm Mungo, Mungo & Mungo.

Me, my cousin and uncle, a pleasure.

- Good morning. - Signora Fiano, do you recognize him?

Is he Vincenzo, your husband?

Yes, it's him, my heart!

My bah!!! My son!

My love...

Excuse me, but what's that hole on his face?

It looks like a pit!

And even the lips don't look like his!

Momma, we need to resign ourselves!

You have to be strong, that's really him!

I mean, who better than me can know that mouth?

When do you think I can take my Vincenzo back home?

- Magistratus decernit... - Eh?

It's up to the judge.

Without his signature...

But do you have a way to...

...reach this judge?

Counselor, spare no expense...

Grease whoever you need to, even the Almighty,

but have me bring him home soon,

'cause I can't sleep at night!

I beg you!

All right.

It's this broken heart asking you.

I beg you, let me bring him back home soon!

I can't sleep at night thinking that my Vincenzo is stuck here...

...with these louts!

Ad impossibilia nemut netur...

Yes of course! Step aside.

Good bye!

Fear not, you are in the hands of Art!

Yes...

Ciro, it's all set, go!

Wait for me here.

Guys, what do we care if that guy's getting sick over it?

"According to the judges,"

"the mysterious man behind the slaughter that is devastating Naples"

"could be Ciro Langella,"

"the owner of the apartment where four" "days ago three corpses were found."

"Langella, is presently untraceable," "and there are no photographs that"

"could help identify him."

"We'll be providing updates" "in the next reports."

Ciro's slaughtering us,

and the men no longer trust me.

What can I do, resuscitate? Make a miraculous apparition?

And what'll the cops say? "Then who was that stiff?"

"That poor shoe monkey, who killed him?" Gennaro.

"And the instigator?"

Vincenzo Strozzalone with his wife Maria.

We'll end up in jail like sewer rats, is this what you want?

- I'm sorry, don Vincenzo. - Sorry your ass!

- Wait, I'll give you a hand! - Keep still, I'll do it myself!

The secret of leadership is demanding respect and never admitting fault.

Even when you're dead wrong, react!

Get pissed off, pissed off with everybody, morning, afternoon and night!

On an empty stomach and full stomach, Pissed off for nothing! Okay?

That's the only way to regain your men's trust.

- You got that? - Got it.

- I got it, don Vincenzo! - Listen to me!

Always to me!

But can I ask a question now?

Yes.

How do we stop Ciro?

Ciro?

How do we stop him...

- That's the question? - Yes.

Other questions?

So pretty, eh? Like a rose bud.

Okay, the clothes are bargain basement...

but the girl isn't sloppy.

She's always done up right...

Are you sure she hasn't gone back home?

Yes. After she fled with Ciro there's always someone watching her door.

You think one like her can stay four days...

four days without changing her panties?

- What do we care? - What?

If she didn't go back home, she must've found some fresh clothes.

Obviously someone's hiding her.

You mind?

Whaddya wanna see?

Her past...

Isn't that Ciro?

Yes, it's him.

Madonna, so young!

Now we know why he betrayed us,

for a love of a hundred years ago.

A hundred years back is where we go.

That's Torre Annunziata. Ciro's from there.

Of course I knew Fatima!

Since she was a girl! I raised her.

She lived in those houses. See that window? She lived there.

And (Two, her sweetheart?

Yes, I knew him, but wasn't close in any way.

Why do you ask?

I'm looking for all of Ciro's friends from when he was young.

It's for a surprise. Ciro and Fatima are getting married!

Getting married! Fatima and Ciro! Madonna!

- Then they say fairytales don't exist! - How do you like that?

Ave Maria gratia plena dominus tecum...

Amen!

Hello?

I need to step aside a moment, excuse me.

Important matters, one minute.

Barely dead and already two-timing him!

Counselor...

Alea iacta est!

- Eh? - Donna Maria it's done!

The judge signed, it's black on white!

Habemus Papam!

- Today? - No, not today.

But tomorrow definitely.

Thank goodness, thank you Counselor.

Now we can hold the funeral and Vincenzo can finally rest in peace.

Of course I remember him.

I know the whole family.

His father, bless him, was my friend,

we always played soccer out here, a fine person.

Not like that louse of his brother.

His brother's a swindling crook who ought to be hanged!

His brother...

- You mean, his father's brother? - Yeah, his father's brother.

Ciro's uncle?

His uncle, Mimmo Langella, the dirty, swindling bastard!

Curses on him!

- Is he still alive? - Alive and swindling, listen to this.

I had ordered 900 Euros of fireworks.

He promised delivery four days ago. Have you seen him?

No trace of him, the fireworks or the money!

Vanished!

Vanished. Okay?

So it's four days that the guy's been gone.

Gennaro...

I know who's helping Ciro.

I still don't know where he is...

Just a moment.

Mariella, papa's girl! Ciao, how are you?

Papa, there's a friend of yours here.

My friend in New York, at your place? Who?

He says his name is Frank...

Strozzalone, papa, Frank Strozzalone.

Papa, you hear me?

Yes, I hear you.

He says he urgently needs to know where a certain Ciro is.

- What's going on? - I'll explain later.

Yes, tell the gentleman I'll find him right away.

Papa, he says he's staying here.

But I can't keep a stranger over, and I have to study.

Don't worry...

anyway, don't ever contradict him.

- Do everything he tells you! - Why can't I contradict him?

I can't explain now because I'm with people,

Tell the man, tell Frank...

that I'll call back right away.

All right, now I'll tell him.

Give me the phone, signorina.

Papa, wait, he wants to talk to you.

Hello, I'm Frank Strozzalone,

I know you're not alone: keep quiet, I talk, you listen.

Now I'll send you a number,

when you find Ciro, call this number.

I'll wait with your daughter

and when it's finished, they inform me and I go away.

All right, all right...

Uncle, who are you talking to?

I was talking to Mariella in New York.

- Problems? - No, everything's fine...

- You look all worried. - No, everything's fine.

Uncle, switch off the fucking phone and let's go!

Gennaro...

Be ready. Ciro's uncle can call any minute.

How's Fatima?

Did she ask about me?

- Yes... - And what did you say?

What did I say?... all the stuff happening here.

- And she? - She...

Why didn't you escape together?

I love her heart and soul,

but death is hounding me every step I take,

Fatima has to stay far from me, as far as possible!

Lay it where I said and scram.

Ciao, Ciro.

What is it? See you later, hurry now!

Ciro!

Fatima! How did you get here?

- I hid inside the boat! - Inside the boat?

- Whaddya say we go? - What the hell...?!

If you were hidden in the boat then you heard...

Everything!

I love you heart and soul too, but you're too desperate.

- Fatima... - Wait, let me talk.

There's always a way out... but you gotta chuck that rifle.

Our only way out is precisely that rifle.

Now please, go with Uncle Mimmo who's leaving, hurry!

- Yes, but you gotta come too! - You can't stay close to me!

In a minute there's gonna be a war! Go, hurry!

- Without you I'm not going anywhere. - You're obsessed!

- Are you crazy?! - Now I'll have to go with you.

Fuck, they're already here. No time to climb anymore.

I'm dying for a coffee.

Jesus Atti, every day the same old story. We'll finish early and get your coffee.

Hey! What was that?

- Maybe I should've done the driving? - Shut the fuck up. Hurry, come with me!

Cavalletta, we got a flat!

- What the fuck happened? - What's this shit on the ground?

Asshole, don't you see? It's a spike strip!

It's a trap, shoot!

Peppe, you go there! Attilio, there!

In your life you've only shot at an amusement park,

and you didn't even win a teddy bear.

You're not a killer, beat it.

Thank you, Ciro.

- Hello? - Ciro's at the port.

Will you free Mariella now?

Will you free Mariella? Hello?

Hello, you hear me?!

Gennaro, (Two's at the port.

The boys are with me, ten minutes and we're there.

Hurry, I'm on my way.

Did he fall?

- I didn't hear the thud. - Go check.

Hey, Pistillo move it! Go downstairs!

End of the line!

"What'll I do" "with a gun in my face?"

"The fear of never again seeing" "a May sunset"

"The courage of asking for mercy" "asking you, a wise man"

"Because if you're a Tiger" "you don't shoot a boy in the face"

Fatima! Come on!

They had machine guns, be reasonable!

Look at me.

Look how sorry I am, now I'll start to cry.

What are they doing here?

That kid you saved called them?

And they arrived magically fast?

They were already organized.

Come with me.

Inside. I gotta see something.

- How many are they? - Twelve, plus Gennaro.

Jesus! What'll we do?

We'll do it so I don't miss a shot.

NOW?

"You know, thinking it over"

"The life you've chosen to lead"

"Of seeing death and never crying"

"You don't know how it pains me"

"if this was your destiny"

"You could even die here"

"And I'd come along with you"

"Because I'm tired of not having you"

"As if they were bullets"

"You dodge your feelings"

"Every shot has its destiny"

"The bullet is for us"

"While the sky falls to pieces"

"it looks like the end for us"

"But crying, you get back up"

"You find strength in love"

"And you bring back the sun"

"You bring back the sun"

"What were you thinking?"

"That you could redeem yourself?"

"You were born to bring tears"

"And you can't bring happiness to anyone"

"You can only shoot"

"To escape death"

"To keep from being killed"

"As if they were bullets"

"You dodge your feelings"

"Every shot has its destiny"

"And has our name written on it"

You've always had balls...

But not any longer.

"I'll give my life to you"

"And then look after your life"

"'Cause the only ones alive are those"

"Who still know how to love"

"And win and survive all things"

"Like fear, money and" "all the other horrid stuff"

"Like wickedness and betrayal"

"Like these men here dead on the ground"

"As if they were bullets"

"You dodge your feelings"

You can't stay anymore, wake up!

"You bring back the sun"

I gotta bandage it.

- Just a scratch, there's no time. - It's a snap.

We gotta go, others will come. You can't imagine how many!

Don't you see all the blood? Can you move your fingers?

Mother of God!

Fatima, they're dead! They were scarier alive!

They knew we were here!

I know who told them!

Gennaro!

Gennaro!

I swear on my life,

I'll find that dirty traitor...

and kill him!

- Hello? - Listen up!

The bastard ran off, we didn't get him!

Now he'll call you, and you call me right away, clear?

And don't try anything!

You'll see your daughter again only when Ciro's dead! Clear?

Hey, is that clear?!

For fuck sake, you hear me?

Yes, all right.

I'll call you...

I'll call you back right away.

Who were you talking to?

I was talking to a friend looking for a special type of fireworks.

You know where you can stick 'em? You sold me, you piece of shit!

No Ciro, how can you even think such a thing?

I heard the call when I was hiding on the boat.

You were nervous because you had to find someone. You were talking about Ciro?

I had no choice.

How could you, backstabber! I'll kill you!

Thank the Madonna I promised Fatima I wouldn't shoot you,

but I'll crack your face open, all the same!

I had no choice, they grabbed Mariella!

So you figured: "we can kill Ciro and Fatima, what's the big deal?!"

You know what disgusts me?

That you didn't tell me, your own blood!

Look at you, you look like popeye, what a fuck face!

You see what we're dealing with?

Those people stop at nothing.

For them human beings are like clams in a spaghetti sauce...

They're not worth shit!

Ciro, that's enough death, enough!

Now we do things my way!

We're here in the Church of Santa Maria della Sanité

where a memorial service was held for Vincenzo Strozzalone, "The Fish King".

Law Enforcement is closely watching the proceedings...

Donna Maria...

My condolences.

What could I do? What could I do, eh?

I brought him to you!

Don't hurt my daughter!

My Mariella no!

The key!

The key!

Ciro stole the key to the secret door!

He's gonna kill Vincenzo, run!

I'll go, but you call don Vincenzo.

Me? How can I call him?

I'm the poor widow following the coffin!

The TV people are here, I can't!

Figure out a way and do it!

- Franco Luigi! - Yes, Auntie?

Come here a moment.

- Uncle Vincenzo was very fond of you. - I know.

Look, don't talk, don't say anything.

I'll tell you a secret...

- Vincenzo is alive! - What are you saying?!

Quiet! Hush! Hush!

Don't talk, I'll explain later...

- I need a big favor. - Yes.

You have to call Don Vincenzo and tell him Ciro's coming. That he has

the key to the secret door.

Ciro... key to the secret door...

It's very important. Call right away.

Use my phone or he won't even answer.

- I have to call now? - Now, at once.

But if he's alive, who's in the coffin?

I'll explain it later!

Maria, did something happen at the funeral?

Uncle, it's me, Franco Luigi, how nice to hear you!

Hello, Uncle!

Hello? There's static, I can't hear you too well...

Who is it? No signal here in the mountains...

What mountains! You're always joking. Auntie told me you're alive!

She told you... Great secret!

Auntie Maria...

says that Ciro has the key to the secret door and he's on his way there!

Fuck!

But Uncle, personally speaking, I'm so happy you're alive...

Fucking Romanian, fuck off!

Ghost of signore!

Boys!

- Don Vincenzo, you?! - There's no time to explain.

Hurry, grab your guns, bazookas, machine guns,

that fucker's coming!

Hurry, run! Ciccio, you stay put here!

Police, hello?

Help me, I beg you, help!

Calm down, what's happening? And where are you?

In the villa of Vincenzo Strozzalone. He's alive!

What, alive?! All of Naples knows it's his funeral today.

I saw him and he saw me!

Now they're hunting me down because I figured everything out!

- Who are you? - The maid, but who cares?

You have to hurry, but don't ring the bell,

sneak in or he'll run away! Understand?!

Help me, I beg Of you! Hurry, hurry!

- Freeze! - Hands up!

Drop your guns! Hold it!

Or I'll blow your head off, asshole!

I didn't do anything!

Holy fuck, Don Vincenzo Strozzalone! He's alive!

How much longer? There's a corpse in here!

Signora, the time it takes, Antonio hurry up!

Get a move on!

Folks, the party's over. We're confiscating the casket!

What? Why? My husband's in there!

Signora, what an actress! Your husband was just arrested...

And you're under arrest too!

Me? Why, what for? I didn't do anything!

We'll open the casket and see about that! Go ahead!

Move it...

- Excuse me... - What are you doing?!

Excuse me, but is Vincenzo really alive?

Absolutely!

Madonna!

I knew it wasn't him!

I dunno what's up. Get her off my back!

You...

You knew!

You knew everything!

Witch! Witch!

You didn't give a damn about our grief!

Look at her! Look at her!

A curse on the day my brother married his servant!

Yes it's true.

I served your brother... but with love!

Me and Vincenzo truly love each other!

Don't touch me, I just had it set... for fuck's sake!

Rosario!

The gun!

"The traitor has come"

"Shoot one more time"

"Or else I'll have to do you in"

"I'm a man of one word"

"And it's stronger than a chain"

"Feel how beautiful the wind is"

"Blowing through your hair"

"if the chains are blocking you"

"You end up thinking only of them:"

"You gotta break them while you can"

"Don't you feel the wind?"

"it seems to be telling us"

""Slaves, you can set yourselves free!""

"Don't you feel it's a wind of freedom?"

"I don't feel a damned thing"

"Only a weight on my conscience"

"That always tells me what I have to do"

"The promise I made, I must respect it"

"Who did you promise these things to?"

"To someone who" "doesn't give a fuck about us"

"Shut up, aim and shoot"

"if you need this freedom"

"Then you'll have to give up"

"this friend you have forever"

"You have to shoot one more time"

"But if I were to kill you now"

"While my heart would die"

"That guy wouldn't shed a tear"

"Who did you make those promises to?"

"Who loves you more?"

"Who loves you more than me?"

I'm sure of it.

- You can't shoot me! - And those you killed?

And Gennaro? And Jimmy lschitano?

And Peppe the Saint? And Cavalletta?

I feel them behind me Every day it's like they're here!

I'm here for them!

The dead are dead, under the ground. You're alone now!

Behind you there are only bushes and your freedom.

I organized a boat, behind those rocks.

I love you, take it and go away.

There's nothing here worth this sacrifice.

It would be too easy. See what a traitor you are?!

You turned your back on everybody and now I should say thank you?

Who are these "everybodies"? Let's hear!

Gennaro? Who came with 12 men to kill me and instead got killed himself?

And what for?

So Don Vincenzo and Donna Maria can hide in the Caribbean?

Gennaro was loyal, Gennaro was a man!

And he was wrong, Rosario!

Loyalty is for those who truly care about you.

One who cares wouldn't ask you to die for his convenience!

I didn't care for you? I never cared?

Didn't you betray me? And for who?

A woman! You betrayed me for a woman!

Rosario, I won't tell you again...

- Go away! - Or else what?

It's a mystery, none of the maids says she's the one who called.

Never mind, whoever she was she did us a great big favor.

I'm alive and well, sound of mind and capable of "bodily harm"... Clear?

Police! Police!

- The nurse! - What nurse?

- They're killing each other! - I'll be a sonova... You?!

- Take care of him. - Would you get in?

Nice and easy, and when I decide!

- Get in now! - I didn't do anything!

It wasn't my idea, it was the plot of a 007 movie!

They're killing each other!

Go now, hurry!

Gimme a hand, help me!

Forgive me!

Let's go down!

You stay here! Move it!

My life is finished!

You hear me? It's finished!

Last boarding call for Flight BA109

for Honolulu at Gate 6.

All passengers are kindly requested

to exhibit their boarding cards and passports...

Look at all the hot babes passing through the airport!

Don't be an idiot...

How can I not be an idiot, if I'm a fool for you?

Ciro, that's enough death. Enough!

Now we do things my way.

Where the fuck are you going?

- You wanna save Mariella, yes or no? - Of course I do!

Those bastards were perfectly clear.

Either Ciro dies or Mariella dies.

Ciro, you know what?

You're gonna die!

With all due respect, did you bang your head?

But don't you worry.

A have a friend who can help us.

First the metal plates...

and then the squibs.

One on each plate.

And then the fake blood.

You sure it's gonna work?

That's how fake gunshots are made.

The squibs are set off with this, just push the plunger...

Wait, the blood has to be real...

- How many syringes? - At least ten.

Just kill me directly... it's faster!

We have to fake out forensics!

My life is finished!

You hear me? It's finished!

Forgive me.

Where's the other body?

The tide took it.

Hurry, call in the diving team

and have them search for a corpse lost at sea.

- Excuse me boys, I need advice. - Feel free.

Where would you hide the diamonds?

In 007's Aston Martin

or the DeLorean of "Back to the Future"?

What are they worth?

With one alone you buy two houses.

Mother of God!

How many do you have?

Mamma mia!
