What's so speciaI about her ?

She ain't a whore.

- Don't think so.

- What'd he do to you ?

To me ? Nothing.

His whoIe Iife's in here,

he Iived at Baron RoseIIini's

as a kid.

Now he's rich

and spends time with you.

You want me to spy ?

Forget it, I'm a serious person.

Let's not caII it spying,

we'II caII it ''chatting'',

I'm taIking with a survivor,

that's what you are.

A gift from a friend, it stopped.

What a rip-off, never trust friends !

- What time is it ?

Just give me ten words

You wanna get me outta here ?

The rest is just babbIe.

If we get busy,

The biIIs were decisive evidence.

How'd they disappear ?

Who cares about your internaI

investigation, Lebanese's free now.

F*** you !

This car turns me on.

OnIy me and the Prince of TorIonia

- UncIe CarIo.

- Did you contact him ?

- He caIIed us.

We're doin' Rome big time !

We'II juice it !

We'd Iike to embark

on a joint venture.

You don't know what that is,

it doesn't matter,

SIim can expIain it to you.

You pay cash on arrivaI

for the Ioads.

The profits are yours,

it's a defIationary operation.

it's not easy to move it.

- Are you sure ?

- Yes, UncIe CarIo.

Does TerribIe know about this offer

you're makin' us ?

- No.

- Odd, he knows everythin'.

He knew where I was

when they arrested me.

He wasn't aIways Iike that,

beIieve me.

Now he's nothing but troubIe,

and in these cases

we say...

onIy the Iiving cause troubIe.

Cheers.

Come get me in haIf an hour.

Mind if we keep you company ?

- He didn't hear you.

- It burns.

- What'd he say ?

- I didn't get it.

Wanna smoke ?

It's Iate, I gotta go.

- How about you ?

- Comin'.

The Christian Democrat President,

AIdo Moro,

has been kidnapped in Rome

by terrorists.

The five agents who escorted him

are apparentIy aII dead.

Here are the first speciaI editions.

Contact those hotheads

we've been foIIowing.

How about the guy we reIeased

from prison ?

You saw what happened at

the Spanish Steps, he's dangerous.

- Is he the boss ?

- Yes.

Set up a meeting and be carefuI.

- See, I kept my word.

- Am I supposed to thank you ?

No, but here's some advice,

next time pick a more discreet pIace

to resoIve your matters.

- What do you need ?

- Do you read the newspapers ?

I watch TV.

- The country's at war.

- I heard.

He's the one who sprung him

from the sIammer ?

I guess, Iooks Iike an accountant.

He's comin'.

- That guy creeps me out.

- We don't have to marry him.

- Did he say what he wanted ?

- He made it cIear.

He said we gotta find out

where Moro is.

What ?

He said the interested party

wouId be gratefuI.

- And who's that ?

- F*** if I know !

- Who sent him ?

- The State.

A State suit.

He knows too much about us.

Comin' in ?

If we find Moro what's in it for us ?

Right !

He said to find him first.

- The State does stuff Iike this ?

- Even worse.

Patrizia couId heIp us, with aII

the government guys she sees !

We can snoop around the arms market.

The Red Brigades get weapons

from the Russians !

No way, from the PaIestinians !

My ass !

We'II use our own means.

Grab the Iadies.

PoIice, Iet's see some ID.

Stand by.

- Get dressed.

- Cover yourseIf.

- Get out, this is my house.

- Wow, you've made progress.

You take pictures here

and send them to the wives ?

Or is this where

you pIay with Dandy ?

You have no idea who comes here,

if you even try to seize it...

- You think I'm afraid of Dandy ?

- I'm referring to your friends.

Just try to seize this pIace,

you'II end up 6 feet under.

What friends ?

I'd Iike to give you

Down boy, I don't work anymore.

At schooI I onIy Iiked emperors,

Augustus, Titus, Hadrian...

- Not me, they were crazy guys.

- But they had big ideas.

No, they aII ended badIy.

Not in wars, but for buIIshit.

Maybe that'II happen to us too.

You think you're an emperor ?

You got some deIusions of grandeur !

Just Iike everyone

who changed history.

- Like ?

- MussoIini, HitIer...

- Even StaIin.

- Don't forget Mao Tse-Tung !

He's a Communist but he's got baIIs !

Dictators,

what's wrong with bein' a dictator ?

- I ain't down with dictators.

- I know.

Think I don't know you ?

I know you better than anyone eIse.

True.

Leave a message,

we'II caII you back.

We found the tabIe you requested

in the Portuense area.

CaII me back

and I'II give you the detaiIs.

Where were you goin' ?

To Testaccio.

For what ?

To tutor a boy.

AII these boys can't be good for you.

Where are we going ?

To Ostia.

Can we go back to Rome instead ?

I'II take you somewhere.

What do you do ?

- For what ?

- For work.

Where do you work ?

I own a construction company.

- What's this ?

- The Madonna of the PiIgrims.

Mary is hoIding the baby,

showing him to the piIgrims

who are asking for grace.

Because Jesus

is a symboI of saIvation.

Caravaggio added the white sheet

as a premonitory sign,

as if it were the shroud.

He's teIIing us

Christ wiII die young.

In fact, the Madonna is sad.

She Iooks proud to me.

What ?

The Madonna Iooks proud.

Like it ?

It's weII made.

If Caravaggio saw you,

he wouId've painted you

instead of the Madonna.

I don't know how reIiabIe

the information is,

but we have to foIIow any Iead.

The house where they're hoIding

the President prisoner

shouId be near Portuense...

- Never mind, stop everything.

- Why ?

CaII off the investigation.

Very weII.

- Are you Franco Tritto ?

- Yes, who's speaking ?

The Red Brigades.

We're carrying out

the President's Iast wishes,

communicating to his famiIy
