- I just want to have a look.

- Only idiots buy newspapers!

If you say so...

Anything about last night?

All positive comments.

Everyone enjoyed the show.

The public...

Critics.

A real success.

Everyone wants to know who did it

but the club isn't mentioned.

We'll buy other newspapers,

they don't all think the same.

The layout may be different

but not the content...

Remember to pay Rosa.

- Is it my turn?

- It sure is.

It had to be this month...

Here is your money.

Aren't you going to send

your pretty niece anymore?

She dusted so well...

And was a good lay too!

Pray to God

she gets her period this month.

If she's pregnant,

it's your f***ing problem!

No, it's yours.

You're surrounded, surrender!

There's no escape.

- Are you speaking with HQ?

- Yes.

You've been busted, surrender!

- It's worth waiting.

- But they're not listening.

Get back.

You three, Go.

- Where?

- On the roof.

Don't shoot unless necessary.

Wretched murderers!

- Go away.

- Stop it!

Shut up!

- I'll kill you!

- Stop.

Behave, we're serious now!

Sons of b*tches!

Let's go and speak to that bastard.

Come on.

Behave or I'll break your arm.

Come on.

Help!

They're killing me!

Give us a car!

I won't come out anymore,

We'll only talk on the phone.

Write this number down:

Get that? 64 38 96.

Call me.

Help, they're killing me!

Get that son-of-a-b*tch

off the roof!

Help!

Get down!

You too.

Yes, all of you.

Let's get back.

I knew it, let's give ourselves up.

- What the hell are you saying?

- I'm going crazy!

- Go and guard!

You go and guard the other door,

run!

It's dangerous, get back.

Here comes the Vice Chief of Police.

We've made contact.

- Who is the hostage?

- The owner of the house.

- What do they want?

- A get-away car.

Of course, and they're using

an innocent hostage to get it.

They're waiting for us to call.

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm Ruggero Ruggerini,

known as "The Dog".

I want a fast car with a full tank

you've got half an hour.

We'll take granny with us.

Do you want to hear her? Speak!

Help, they're killing me!

Help!

Call me back when it's ready.

And if you both lose your nerve,

I'll kill you !

Thanks for getting a direct line

with the house.

We're from the special force.

Clear the road.

Let's go.

Come on, clear the road

those people can't stay they're.

Come on!

Hurry up.

Moretti, block access to the road.

Go on, go!

Quickly!

They're doing what we want.

Scaredy-cat, see what they're doing.

Old hag, where's the liquor?

Tell me!

If I didn't need you, I'd kill you!

What the f***'s this, castor oil?

Screw you!

Since they've already killed three.

An old lady...

They will throw her out of the car

when they feel out of danger.

They're out of their minds,

they know they'll get 30 years.

They've got nothing to lose.

I spoke to Ruggerini,

he's a nasty bit of work.

- If they get out, they'll escape.

- And we have a disadvantage.

- That poor woman.

- Think of it as an advantage too.

The house has four sides

and there are three of them.

But they never leave the doors

or windows unguarded.

I don't suggest a group attack.

It would be a blood bath.

Get a car here.

If we let up, those three killers

will be free.

And the old woman might not be safe

after all.

I know who you are,

that you're good

and that you risk your life everyday.

I agree that

it would be better to intervene

but we can't waste time

if you don't know how.

- We could surprise them.

- How?

- With a helicopter.

- They'd never expect that,

because they're based in the city

and won't head for the countryside.

But if they get lost in traffic,

how will a helicopter help?

The element of surprise.

- We'll act under their instructions.

- And do what we want.

Who is it?

Right, we'll be out

at one p.m. sharp.

Try any tricks

and we'll kill the woman.

She's alright.

We're going soon,

pass this around.

In exactly four minutes

I want you over our heads.

Ok, in four minutes

over your heads.

You two can go back in.

Get up old hag, keep us company.

Please, I beg you, leave me!

Shut up, why are you shouting?

Don't take me with you.

No, help!

Keep your wits about you.

Help!

What are you doing?

Dick-head!

Bring the car here.

Now!

- Step on it...

- Shut up!

The clutch, p*ssy!

Don't you know how to drive, moron?

Stop. The clutch!

Quickly.

Stop.

Don't let it near

or I'll kill her.

I told you to send it away!

We didn't call for it.

Get back in, they're lying.

Watch your backs.

Kill them!

Shut up or I'll strangle you.

Come on.

- Dirty...

- Let me go!

I don't care

if you're an addict or a dealer.

I can let you off the hook

if you win at my club.

But if you go to the Police,

you deserve to be beaten-up.

They found a million on me,

I had to tell them about the club.

Truth is one thing,

being a spy is another.

They charged me

for a bank robbery,

They got a copper as a witness.

He's not sure it was me

but it could be me.

They set me up.

I'd like to see it your way,

but how can I if you are a spy ?

They set me up, with my past

record l'd get twenty years.

You don't know what my record's like.

- It would have cost me.

- It might cost you more.

You'll remember me till you die.

No, I beg you, stop him!

I've always been loyal.

Menica...

Are you deaf?

Menica, the telephone!

Why are you shouting?

I was busy in there.

Lina, it's your brother.

Here she is...Come on.

Has the money arrived ?

Have you got over your cold?

How are you?

No, I can't during the week.

The other night I saw you,

I was in my car waiting for someone.

Who were those two with you?

Ok, bye.

Ruggerini has been eliminated.

The results

of the operation are positive.

But the way

you acted isn't.

The Special Force number one rule

is to never put a citizen at risk.

Even old people.

Sit down.

- Sit down.

- I'm fed up of sitting down.

We've intercepted a call

at Pasquini's house,

Or at least it used to be.

He's been gone for four years.

A matronly type

who looks after her baby sister.

Do something.

The Rico cousins will hold up

a bank security van.

There will be all five of them.

What time is the van arriving?

Ok.

- At twelve.

- It's eleven.

- I'll send the beat patrol.

- Why?

- They know them too.

- They've committed four murders.

- Four for sure.

- That's without counting today's.

- There won't be any killing today.

- No?

We don't need the Special Force.

Guys like these

are easily recognised.

Don't you worry,

We even know which bar

they are going to meet in.

It'll be a piece of cake.

- We just have to handcuff them.

- You can't handcuff those people.

And anyway, it's a job for us.

At cafe 'Fiume'

in front of the bank.

- At twelve.

- If there's nothing else...

- Let's get a coffee.

- In that cafe.

Ok.

I'll have two sandwiches

and a beer.

No beer?

Well whatever you've got then.

One de-caff and one regular coffee.

Thanks.

Excuse me?
