BRIGANDS: THE QUEST FOR GOLD

["This River" by Brian Eno playing]

♪ Here we are ♪

♪ Stuck by this river ♪

♪ You and I ♪

♪ Underneath a sky ♪

♪ That's ever falling... ♪

The greater the sacrifice,

the sweeter the fruit of liberation.

♪ Ever falling down... ♪

[sobbing]

♪ Through the day ♪

♪ As if on an ocean ♪

♪ Waiting here ♪

♪ Always failing to remember ♪

♪ Why we came ♪

♪ Came, came ♪

♪ I wonder why we came... ♪

[crying]

[wind gusting]

♪ You talk to me ♪

♪ As if from a distance ♪

♪ And I reply ♪

♪ With impressions chosen ♪

♪ From another time... ♪

Remember, keep going no matter what.

♪ Time, time... ♪

Nino had nothing to do with it.

- Now, Jurillo will blame me. - Quiet down.

Stop that!

[Filomena sighs, sniffles]

There was a traitor,

but we can still take back the gold.

We just can't trust anyone.

Not anyone.

Not even Michelina?

She could steal back the gold from the Piedmontese.

You're gonna have to shut up right now. Shut up!

[song fades]

We have to break free and return as soon as possible.

Sh.

[horse neighing]

They tried to bury us.

Not knowing that we are seeds.

[whistles]

[children cheering] Michelina!

[cheering continues]

[wistful music playing]

Nice to see you, my love.

[rhythmic music playing]

THE BRIDE, THE ASSASSIN, AND THE LUNATIC

[music fades]

[soft melody playing]

Jurillo.

Ciccì, please just eat already.

[Jurillo] Where are you going?

[Marchetta] To find horses so we can get out of here,

and to get a tonic for her.

But we have to find Filomena and the others.

[Marchetta] Little one,

if they don't find us soon,

it's because they aren't looking for us.

It could take a few days.

[unsettling music playing]

[indistinct chattering]

[children laughing]

Any minute, the council of Terra di Lavoro will receive you.

We hope you will all join us in our battle.

I am Maria.

We welcome you.

[unsettling music continues]

[Michelina] The attack on Santa Maria del Carmine was a success.

We have come here to celebrate the entry of the Stonebreakers into our alliance.

But first, I want to share what I saw on my travels.

[children cheering, laughing]

[Michelina] More and more villages want to join our cause.

Their donations make us stronger...

bringing us closer to a future where we don't have to worry about the invaders.

Where we are liberated.

[music fades]

The people believe in us and the prophecy.

They think that a woman can free the people of the South?

They not only think it, they're making it possible.

[man 1] Relax, Gennaro.

Calm your cows.

Trusting costs them nothing.

And it's mutually beneficial.

They will follow us

and fight beside us.

They will die for us.

I can imagine it's your beauty that convinced them.

Allow me to give you an example of what Stonebreakers are capable of.

With our followers, your strength,

and Pace's connections,

we won't need anyone else.

Our power would rival the Crocco.

My gang's strength has a price.

When smuggling any contraband,

you will have free passage on any rivers controlled by the Pace

and first pick of any male prisoners.

We will train them for combat

because we will need warriors,

not a gang of men arranging flowers.

[man 2] A pact is a pact.

Not quite yet.

My son is ready to be married,

and his wife should be your best woman.

I understand her name is Maria.

Where is she?

[unsettling music playing]

She's not here.

Your son's missing as well.

I hear he's in a cell in Mignano and can't get married.

They just let him out.

He could get married tomorrow

depending on if you're ready to honor our agreement.

We will accept the pact.

All right?

Gennaro.

Terra di Lavoro is a safe haven for revolutionary souls like yours.

And this new alliance will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.

We can finally love one another like brothers.

United.

Because only this will bring victory.

[man 1] My little fishes have alerted me

to the mobilization of a large unit of soldiers

for the Piedmontese in the calanchi area.

If I'm not mistaken, the prisoner I handed you was from there.

He talked about a map stolen from the Piedmontese.

We don't need to rely on risky endeavors now that we are in the alliance.

That gold is a symbol. It stands for liberation.

It doesn't exist. They're just rumors.

The Stonebreakers don't believe in them, the rumors, or the prophecy.

It's not just a rumor.

[music fades]

[unsettling music continues]

I remember you.

Remind me where we met.

Are you a fisherwoman?

Yeah.

Poor girl's unwell.

She has hallucinations, delirium.

Don't trust her.

[Gennaro] My son has arrived!

[Cosimo] You're a dead man walking.

It's just a matter of time.

It's just a matter of time.

[Gennaro] Hey.

- What? - Sparrowhawk.

- [Cosimo laughs] - [Gennaro] What's wrong, my son?

Sparrowhawk.

He is the Sparrowhawk!

The one who threw me into Mignano!

Along with those two imbeciles.

Us? Uh... Mm-mm.

You know, General Fumel, when he unlocked the cell...

he asked if I remembered the face of the guy who brought me in.

And I told him exactly what I'm about to tell you!

I'll never forget that face, not until I've sliced it from his neck!

[Gennaro] What are you waiting for? Shoot him!

No, please don't. This is a mistake! He's a brigand!

You're making a mistake!

[Cosimo] Death to anyone who hunts the brigands!

- [men clamoring] - Death to anyone who hunts the brigands!

[men clamoring]

- [Cosimo] Death to this brigand hunter! - [men clamoring]

- [Cosimo] Death to this brigand hunter! - [men clamoring]

[all chanting] Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

[music fades]

[footsteps approaching]

Didn't you steal the map from the Piedmontese?

Luigi told me about it.

That gold gives us the clearest path to liberating the South.

Not everyone agrees, apparently.

And where is it?

Fumel's army has it and is bringing it North.

We're running out of time.

[footsteps approaching]

[Michelina] Don't worry.

We'll get the gold.

Have some water, Ciccì.

Yeah, drink up.

It's good for you.

[Ciccilla moans]

No.

I don't want it.

Let me die.

No, Ciccì.

You'll feel better eventually.

[Ciccilla] I won't. No.

[intriguing music playing]

[grunts]

[breathes shakily]

[intriguing music continues]

Ciccilla! [echoes]

[music fades]

[indistinct chattering]

[prisoner] Hey.

I wanted to join the brigands.

Now that I'm caught by them,

I'll get training

and liberate villages.

You should worry about us breaking out of here.

[man 1] You and you. Come with me.

[man 2] Traitor!

[indistinct chattering]

[chattering continues]

[breathes deeply]

[men shouting excitedly]

[both grunting]

[shouting continues]

[grunting]

[shouting continues]

[panting]

Come on! Time to finish this little scamp off.

[screaming in pain]

[shouting continues]

[tense music playing]

Don't die on me, Sparrowhawk! Huh?

[both screaming, grunting]

[grunts, coughs]

Bravo! Bravo, Sparrowhawk.

[tense music continues]

- [prisoner screams] - [grunts]

[shouting continues]

[grunts]

[muffled shouting]

[muffled breathing]

- [muffed shouting] - [muffled breathing]

[muffled panting]

[shouting continues]

[shouting continues]

Bravo, you have balls. Yeah, just like that.

- [prisoner grunts] - [crowd exclaims]

[crowd exclaims]

[panting]

[groaning]

[panting]

[indistinct chattering]

[children laughing]

[mandolin playing melody]

[men chattering indistinctly]

[man 2] She's beautiful, right?

[Filomena] What you have here is special.

[man 2] It really is.

But no matter how special it is, pain is still unavoidable.

Aren't the Giordano helping prepare for the wedding?

The Giordano?

When it comes to weddings, the Giordano have their own way of preparing.

We founded this place to solve external problems.

But for battles that happen inside, we, unfortunately, haven't gotten far.

I know eyes that have suffered too much,

and yours are not so different from Maria's.

In my pursuit of the gold, my brother was killed.

I've lost everyone.

Now that I know it's real, I have a hard time trusting anyone.

There isn't enough gold in the world to solve that problem.

And you know why?

Because you can only trust those who are willing to lose as much as you did.

[wistful music playing]

[children laughing]

[wistful music continues]

[metallic rattling]

[door locking]

[Ventre] Hey.

Sparrowhawk, hey.

[Manzo] What happened?

We're gonna find a way to escape.

We...

Me and Ventre may have found a way out.

- We'll all get out of here. - I'm all right.

- [Ventre] Let me see. - Jesus, they really messed you up, huh?

Stay still. No, hey!

Back the fuck off.

- Back the fuck off. Back off. - [Manzo] All right.

[music fades]

I can't imagine how many brigands were hung because of you.

They deserved to be hung, just like you.

You take great pleasure in feeling superior.

Our Sparrowhawk thinks he's a hero.

[chuckles]

I'll make you change your mind before you die.

Please just kill me.

[Cosimo] No.

You will fight them one by one,

and you will kill them all.

Before you die, you'll see the man you've become.

[unsettling music playing]

Some gratitude is in order.

The world is unjust.

Unjust.

When you accept that,

that will be the moment you see that you and I are no different.

Here.

It'll help you think about it.

[music intensifies]

- [dog barking] - [ominous music playing]

[Jurillo] Thank you, God, the great provider.

[music swells]

[crowd cheering]

[folk music playing]

[folk music continues]

- [folk music continues] - [cheering continues]

[music continues in background]

[unsettling music playing]

[crowd shouting]

- Twenty on Schiavone. - Good.

[shouting continues]

Come on! Come on!

[man in crowd] Yeah! Yes!

Kill him! Go on! Come on, Sparrowhawk! Come on, baby, watch.

[screams in pain]

[man 3] Come on! Let's go!

[laughing]

[men groaning in pain]

[Sparrowhawk screams, groans]

We're no different, Sparrowhawk.

We are one.

[Sparrowhawk grunting, screaming]

[solemn music playing]

[grunts]

[Sparrowhawk gasping]

[crowd clamoring]

[solemn music continues]

[man 4] Cut his head off!

[crowd exclaims]

[men grunting, groaning]

- [blade slicing] - [prisoner grunts]

[grunts]

[Sparrowhawk screaming]

[blood squelches]

[Sparrowhawk panting]

[dramatic music playing]

[groans]

[crowd cheering]

[knife thuds]

Let's go. Come on, honey.

Come with me.

[music subsides]

[Maria] No!

Please. Please!

Please, stop. No, no!

- [Cosimo] Get in. - [Maria] No!

Please!

[unsettling music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Cosimo] Hold still.

- I won't hurt you. - [Maria panting]

[Cosimo] I don't wanna hurt you. You have to stop fighting.

- That's it, relax. - [Maria whimpering]

[Cosimo] Shut up. Don't move.

Don't make me do this.

[Cosimo grunts] Stop squirming.

[Maria] No, please.

No! No, no!

[Maria crying]

[Cosimo] Come on. Just hold still now.

[Maria] Stop!

[Cosimo grunting, screaming]

[Cosimo screams]

- [Maria screams] - [Cosimo grunting]

[water burbling]

[panting]

[screaming]

[music fades]

[Cosimo panting] Stop!

Stop!

- [Cosimo growls] - What happened?

I'm gonna kill her! [grunts]

- I asked what happened! - This bitch set my head on fire!

She has to pay!

You were raping her!

He's making prisoners fight for entertainment.

Did you know that?

This place is a lie!

Is this really the freedom you promise?

That's why Sparrowhawk sent you to Mignano.

Alliances mean compromises.

Freedom means we act on our own morals.

You're being selfish, Michelina.

Your words give people hope, yet your actions betray what you preach.

What if you get the Southern gold?

- Are you gonna give it to people like him? - You don't know anything!

You don't know what it's like to protect this place.

And you don't deserve to be here.

[Filomena] People believe in you!

I believed in you!

[Filomena grunting]

[Cosimo] Let's go, little one.

- Let's go! - [Filomena whimpering]

[Cosimo] Move it!

Get in there.

- Bitch! - [Filomena grunts]

A man deserves a little pleasure before he passes.

Right?

[unsettling music playing]

Consider it a gift from me to you.

[panting]

[Sparrowhawk] Nobody touches her.

[music stops]

[grunts]

[Filomena] Did you kill Ventre and Manzo too?

Not yet.

They're using them to bury all the corpses.

It wasn't Lo Piccolo who turned me in to Fumel.

Yes, it was me.

But I saved your life.

You only saved my life

because you wanted to know the secret of the map.

And now I've lost everything breaking you out.

I lost my freedom.

And everyone knows I'm Sparrowhawk.

You only did it because you wanted the gold.

No.

Then tell me why.

Why?

Never mind.

In a couple of hours, we'll be dead anyway.

[bag jingles]

[slurps]

[sighs]

This is half of the payment.

Only half of you is present.

The other half is for your partner.

[bag jingling]

Salvatore didn't make it.

[unsettling music playing]

He decided to go with the wrong group when they split us up.

His percentage belongs to me.

And which group is that? The ones you sent to kill me, right?

And If I hadn't warned you,

they would've found you.

[piano note plays]

My sister's gone crazy.

And besides, if I didn't help you, there is no gold.

You wouldn't even be alive to give me my reward, General...

which is double that.

- [drawer opens] - [bag jingles]

[drawer closes]

[Fumel] Consider yourself lucky

to be in the right place at the right time.

Oftentimes it's mere chance,

but sometimes it's not.

We're leaving, General. Don't worry.

We are almost ready.

I was hoping you could part with two horses.

- [desk bangs] - Buy them yourself!

I took you off the wanted list and paid you.

As soon as you step foot out of this house,

return to that sewer hole where you came from and never come back

because if I get word that you've left Calabria,

then you're a dead man. Is that clear?

Absolutely.

But I think you should know that...

this is no way to treat someone who saved your ass.

Right place, right time, Marchetta.

Don't forget it.

[intriguing music playing]

I'll always remember that.

[intriguing music continues]

[music fades]

[screaming]

[Ventre snoring]

[wistful music playing]

[whispers] "Keep going no matter what."

You said that.

[Sparrowhawk] You don't have to trust what I say anymore.

[Filomena] And you need to stop telling me what to do.

[moans softly]

[Filomena moans softly]

[both moan softly]

- [Sparrowhawk] Sh. - [Filomena moans softly]

[moaning intensifies]

[muffled moaning]

[both moaning]

[music fades]

FREEDOM

Have you ever lost faith in your own message, Francesco?

Yes.

Absolutely.

But you can't afford to.

Because when your actions stop matching your words,

then any power or meaning your words had is gone.

Tell me, darling.

It's about the Giordano?

Mignano was my village.

It's become an open-air prison.

We have to be absolutely certain that does not happen here.

Too many of our men are dying.

The Giordano will help.

Forget Mignano.

Your past is not your destiny.

Look what you've created.

Only you control your destiny.

I control my destiny?

Even if it means risking everything we've built together?

Yes.

Being ruled by fear will keep no one safe.

And do you really have faith in me?

Me? [chuckles]

Forever.

Wherever the prophecy points us to.

I will follow you into any revolution your heart desires.

I'm with you.

Leave sadness to the feeble.

Be angry, my love.

Transform your anger to action until all the blood has dried.

- [indistinct chattering] - [unsettling music playing]

[distant clattering]

[gasps]

[Filomena whimpers]

[tense music playing]

[grunting]

So is that whore your woman now?

Since you two like each other so much, while they have the wedding celebration...

[laughs]

...we'll celebrate you two.

[breathing heavily]

[melancholy music playing]

[melancholy music continues]

Leave.

I don't want to marry him.

I know.

I know.

[crowd cheering]

This will be easy for you, right?

[man 1] Come on, let's go!

[crowd shouting indistinctly]

Kill me, Filomena.

Hit me. Hit me.

Hit me. Kill me.

- Do it. Do it! - [Filomena whimpers]

- Do it! - [Filomena whimpers]

Come on, my darling!

Or I'll blast your leg right off.

- [gunshot] - [Filomena gasps]

[crowd continues shouting]

[man 2] Let's see you fight!

[crowd continues shouting]

- [Filomena grunts] - [crowd cheering]

Please kill me!

Kill me!

[Filomena grunting]

- [Sparrowhawk groans] - [Filomena panting]

[man 5] Come on!

Come on! Defend yourself!

Defend yourself!

[screams] Defend yourself!

[dramatic music playing]

[Ciccilla sobs]

[music continues]

[music intensifies]

[blade slicing]

[music soars]

[inaudible]

[muffled gunshot]

[blade slicing]

[thud echoing]

[crowd clamoring]

[music fades]

[dog barking]

Where the fuck were you two?

I should ask you.

We need to go back home now, Ciccì.

There's nothing left for us here.

If Filomena and the others haven't found us yet,

they're probably dead.

Or they're the ones who betrayed us.

They're not dead.

That bitch sold us out for her brother.

It's too dangerous to stay here.

The Monaco shouldn't be afraid, Marchetta.

Whoever betrayed us should be though.

For he who betrays the Monaco

is a dead man walking.

[solemn music playing]

[Ciccilla groans]

Fumel!

For killing my beloved Pietro and Celestino.

[Michelina] The Giordano tried to make our dream an illusion,

and we couldn't allow it.

Those who are with us must respect our value.

[screams]

Filomena!

You will pay for your betrayal.

[Michelina] The alliance may have appeared stronger,

but if it makes us betray who we are, it's like a rotten limb.

And rotten limbs need to be cut off so the body can be saved.

Our home is here.

The score isn't settled until we shed every last drop of blood. I swear.

[Michelina] Now, we have a new hope for our liberation.

That hope is the Southern gold.

It will involve risks and sacrifices,

but it will be worth it!

In the name of all those who sacrificed themselves before us!

Brigands!

[music intensifies]

Prepare for battle.
