because you're not armed.

- I don't understand these things.

- Who's your daughter in love with?

She's with a scumbag.

So you're at war too.

I didn't choose you

because you're a great lawyer.

I chose you because you're in trouble.

I'm in trouble?You're in trouble.

So are you.

Like me. We're identical:

two unhappy men.

What do you want from me 7

- Do you want to be happy?

- I'm tired.

There are 800 grams of pure diamonds

in a bull's belly in Villa Literno.

I said I'm tired.

The diamonds are inside a bull

at a cattle farm in Villa Literno.

Papa!

It's a pafTW

Your gift didn't arrive yet...

Papa, who cares!

Happy birthday.

Everything's fine.

You have to trust me.

Francesco Comm...

Nice to meet you.

Come on...

Excuse us...

Can't you see how f***ed up

the situation is here?

- Drink up...

- You miserable worm!

Good for nothing worm sh*t...

- Go home.

- Nice f***ing father you are!

Do something!

Oh my God...

Can I wear it 7

- Papa, what's wrong 7

- I'm fine.

You like it 7

May I have a word 7

Do you mind, Thea?

Sorry my presence

makes you uncomfortable.

I can tell you're not at ease...

this is your house.

If you'd rather, I can leave.

I'd rather.

Francesco, what's wrong 7

See you tomorrow.

What is it 7

- What did you say?

- Calm down.

You stay... and you leave!

Leave!

Bad timing...

We often made that mistake.

I found the courage

to tell my father! hated him,

three weeks after he'd died.

My wife said I didn't make her happy.

I said I'd protected her

from unhappiness.

She lefl me the next day.

A year later! asked her why.

She hasn't answered yet.

- Wanna buy some socks?

- No, thanks.

Your wallet and cell phone!

Give me your wallet and cell phone!

Fork over the money!

Want me to shoot?

Shoot...

You have a gun, use it!

Shoot!

You drive me crazy...

Know what I want to do 7

I want to put two armed guys

by your house,

24 hours a day...

So you HQVQI' worry.

Contact an Indian man

called Singh Onkhar.

He's expected a man

who'll come and say:

"nephrogenic diabetes insipidus".

It's a rare disease

I almost died from as a kid.

He'll understand

and do anything for you.

He knows exactly where

the diamonds are.

There are 28 small cylinders.

They're filled with diamonds.

Give one to Singh, who'll leave

the next day for India with his son.

Because his life here sucks.

Why didn't you write down what I said?

I don't need to.

I heard you, but I won't do anything.

HALL OF JUSTICE:

My neck is killing me, I can't move.

Once it's chronic you never heal.

How'd you cut yourself?

Give me a massage with your thumbs.

I'll go get the diamonds,

but you have to give me Corvino.

I'm sure you have dirt on him.

If you don't, then lie about it.

Corvino goes tojail

and you get the diamonds.

Press down harder with your thumbs.

You have to do this right

or not at all.

Maybe I can come up with something.

If you don't do your part?

I give you my word.

Your word is not worth sh*t.

My word is gold.

Here's the deal...

I'll agree to do it,

but there's no turning back now.

But get some sleep.

Adrenaline makes you lose your head

and mess up.

- I'm looking for Singh.

- That's me.

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Come with me.

Wait here.

May I come in?

Are you Singh Onkhar?

- Doesn't he speak?

- No, but you can ask him questions.

He blinks twice for "yes"

and once for "no".

- What happened to him?

- The bull did it.

The bull...

May I have a glass of water?

I'm on my own...

what'll I do now?

Wait...

There's sh*t everywhere...

What the f***...

Good evening, Counselor.

I've been waiting for you,

I wanted to talk.

- It's late.

- I want to talk about Thea.

Let's sit in my car.

This was given to me this morning.

It's Japanese.

One of the best malts in the world.

I love her... I told her I do.

Know what she answered 7

"Francesco,

don't bother telling me this.

You'll always come in second.

My father will always come first...

- She said that?

- That's what she said.

"My father comes first".

Do you think you're right for her?

I wasn't lucky like Thea.

My father was in the mob.

He made mistakes and he's paying

for them in maximum security.

I can't say I love him...

but he's my father.

It's Judge Rossetto,

I'm going to see Buglione.

Now?

It can't be done.

- What?

- The Indian's in a wheelchair, sorry.

- Quit bullshitting...

- He can't even speak.

Forget everything.

Don't bring up Corvino.

3 years ago in Monte Saliceto,

my brother wasn't available,

so I put a group together for a hit

with Francesco "Hothead" Corvino.

Be careful...

We were after Nino Macerata,

who handled the drug trade in Succivo.

They didn't find Macerata at home

so they were leaving.

Corvino went back in and grabbed

the 80-year-old aunt and uncle

and shot them in the head.

I didn't approve.

You don't do sh*t like that.

But he'd done it already...

I don't believe that,

you're wasting my time.

You said you'd tell me everything

in one sitting.

Buried under the third lamppost

from the artesian well,

directly in front of the

"Welcome to Castelvolturno" sign,

you'll find a bag with three guns.

One of them was used to shoot

the old people.

Send someone to check.

I'm not here to bullshit anyone.

'U-'Vhat did Corvino do to you?

Why screw him over?

I'm not screwing anyone over,

I just want to save myself.

You're calm now that you think

things couldn't get any worse.

You're wrong.

I couldn't do it.

Fear is f***ing you up again.

It took your wife

and now your daughter.

You bust your ass

but never get anything in return.

I never get anything...

This is a one-time opportunity.

If you don't show some balls this time,

you're f***ed

and you'll die alone and abandoned.

I can't do it!

Cut that f***ing bull open, Perez,

there's no choice.

F*** the next guy or he'll f*** you.

What you said about Corvino...

is it true?

Is it true or not?

- Who is it 7

- Cotugno.

- Just what I needed...

- Where's your son?

- He ain't here.

- Move over.

- Got a warrant 7

- What warrant 7

- Grandma's watching TV...

- Take the kid.

Tell us where Francesco is,

don't waste our time.

- Francescds not here.

- You started smoking 7

Yeah, I'm stressed,

what's it to you 7

Where are you going?

There's nothing here, understand 7

It's a closet...

The baby's sleeping in here.

You can't go in the bedroom.

Sorry, Anna...

That's the shitter...

for sh*t like you!

What do you want?

You've got balls because you know

my husband isn't here.

- You know you're a dick!

- What should we do 7

Let's go.

Goodbye... thanks.

You dick, I hope you drop dead.

What are you doing 7

- What the f*** did you say?

- To who?

Francesco I What did you say?

He's missing since yesterday.

You're happy, right?

F***ing loser...

Did you eat?

Let's go eat at Mimi's Restaurant,

come on.

Did you run into a wall, Papa?

Why don't you kill yourself?

I'm going to get Francesco
