Perhaps.

Maybe you're enemies!

Patrizio!

What did you have to eat?

-Patrizio!

-All kinds of hors d'oeuvres

and salmon mousse.

-And what else?

-Larks on a spit,

fresh sturgeon and suckling pig.

-Have you seen my son?

-Oh, no, l haven't.

-And what else?

-lf l catch him,

-l'll give him a real thrashing.

-All the usual boiled meats with...

Patrizio.

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

Patrizio.

Are you gonna tell someone on us?

Will you?

Are you gonna tell someone on us?

Will you?

-You wouldn't tell anyone on us.

-Let me go.

Let me go! Let me go!

No! No, let me go!

Patrizio!

Come on, let's search through there.

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

Not here, not there.

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

-Patrizio!

-l'm getting mud all over my shoes.

Are you sure he didn't go home?

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

Where are you hiding?

Patrizio! Patrizio!

l don't feel like seeing him now.

l'll come tomorrow.

Alfredo!

Patrizio!

Patrizio!

l didn't see you at Mass.

Thanks for coming.

Patrizio!

Good catch?

-A few thrushes.

-A few thrushes.

-Patrizio!

-Patrizio!

Patrizio!

-Patrizio!

-Patrizio!

Do you like my wife?

Very good-looking couple,

Ada and the horse.

Where's my father's gun?

l've hidden it.

You'd better be careful.

lf you don't use it, it gets rusty.

-Patrizio!

-Patrizio!

-Did you look in the chicken coop?

-Yes, we're going to the farm now.

Patrizio!

lt belonged to Lady Godiva, you know.

-Then l should ride him nude.

-How nice.

lt's the right moment.

-What's happened?

-ln there.

Signora! Signora, what is it?

ln there.

ln there.

What have they done to him?

What have they done?

What have they done to him?

-lt happened just a little while ago.

-What have they done?

He must still be around.

Look, look!

You.

You weren't at the wedding.

l know him!

He'd kill us all!

They're all alike, those peasants.

Olmo Dalco,

don't move.

l accuse you of the murder of this child.

Hit him!

Murderer! Hit him!

Olmo!

Olmo!

They're killing him.

But Olmo had nothing to do with it.

He couldn't have. He was with me.

Go on, kill him!

He killed him! Killed!

One day they'll kill all of you!

l know who killed him.

l did.

Killer!

Killer!

-The killer has come.

-l didn't mean to.

lt was an accident.

Come on.

Attila, stop that. That's enough.

That's all. Stop it. Stop. Stop!

-Take this man to the police.

-l didn't do it.

l never hurt a fly. l didn't do it.

l'm a little crazy. l was joking.

l only said it because...

Look, he's been stealing food.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the reception is over.

lt's beginning to rain,

and it's getting dark,

and l think everyone should leave now.

Look at the state Olmo's in.

Why didn't you stop them?

What do you mean, the state Olmo's in?

What about the state Patrizio was in?

Olmo's innocent!

l told you, l was with him!

l know you were with him!

You're becoming like them. Worse.

No! Ottavio, no!

Don't go away. No, stay.

l'm sorry, Ada.

l'll never set foot here again.

No!

All right, another one.

Come on. Let's pull him out.

Get him on his back.

Hold him, now.

Hey, Olmo, let him work. Let him work.

That's got him.

Papa! Papa!

What a hand, huh?

Exact. Two squares, anytime.

Nobody can kill pigs

as good as my papa.

Watch out, Olmo.

We saw Attila,

and he said, to slaughter our hogs,

we're a lot better off

if we find someone else.

He said you took on this work

so you'd be free to go to each house

and preach revolution, family by family.

-How is a man to live if he can't work?

-Like Attila. He feeds on evil.

Stella.

Stella. Stella, we need more water.

Here's some water.

There's more hot water.

You're Olmo!

You don't recognize me.

There was an amnesty. They let me go.

l've been walking for 30 days.

You came back?

l walk and l walk and l walk. Can't stop.

Then why did you have

to mix in that day?

You were down on the ground.

They were all on top of you.

They were beating you to death.

All those years in jail for nothing.

ln jail, in a barn,

under a tree, what's the difference?

Stop it! Stop it!

You know what they'll do.

You keep singing that song,

they'll break your heads, that's what.

The fascists will put you in jail

if you make jokes about Mussolini.

l didn't kill the boy.

You didn't kill the boy.

lt was one of those men

with the black shirts on.

Who?

l saw him hide the body in the cave.

-Who was it?

-lt's hard to say.

ln black shirts, all killers look the same.

l walk and l walk and l walk.

Can't stop.

Where is socialism?

When you get what you want,

you want more,

like animals that eat

because they can't stop.

The padrone can't stop.

You become a padrone, you can't stop.

You get a piece of land,

then you want another piece.

That's human nature.

We gotta fight human nature.

That's what's no good.

Stella.

The seminaries take in studs

and they fall out mules.

No good to anybody.

Tell them, Carlino.

You're smarter than they think.

You let the priests pay for your keep

three or four years,

then we give them a boot in the ass

and long live Lenin.

What Lenin?

You've got to start facing the truth.

They abolished our paper,

the community house is gone

and no more election.

But this changed. Look here.

Read it. lt's your newspaper.

The one our comrades print.

We could go to prison.

You can see how many have read it.

Now memorize it. lt's up to you.

Because once this is gone,

you'll teach the others.

Those who don't see it

and those who can't read. Here.

All right, l'll memorize the newspaper,

but what good is it if we have no party?

No leader? Nobody to lead us?

Look at us, Olmo. We're all scattered.

lf one of us opens his mouth,

he gets slapped in jail.

Our party's outlawed,

we haven't got a chance.

No party? lt's not true.

The party is no one but you.

And Eugene and Enzo and Armando.

Cross over the river,

you'll find only Azales.

Need more,

then go and speak with the bellman.

You'll see the party around you

wherever you find hardworking men.

Go inside the prisons and you'll see

hundreds of your comrades.

The party's there, too. lt's everywhere.

Tell him, Eugene. You tell him.

''A hundred factory workers

were arrested at Rossi Textiles.

''While 135 were...''

Anita!

Anita? Where'd my daughter go?

Anita!

Olmo, she went to the padrona

for a lesson.

What padrona?

-Signora Ada.

-Ada. Ada.

''Strikers paraded in the city streets.

''Several came to blows

with fascist city officials

''who tried to block the demonstration,

including fascist Mayor Aliani.

''The officials were forced to call Milano

for extra carabinieri.

''While fighting with the troops,

four of our comrades were killed.''

l don't know where you'll get

the courage to go home tonight.

His wife will kill him!

Hey, Berlinghieri, l want a return match.

Now, now, now. Calm down, Ferrara.

You've just lost

your whole stable of livestock.

What else can you stake?

He wants to end up

like your mayor friend in Mantua.
