Why am I teIIin' you ?

You're the onIy one

who doesn't care about money,

maybe 'cause you aIways had it.

With aII the dough we got now,

- He's got other things on his mind.

Whose turn ?

Who authorized BIack

We're Iucky to have

such handsome guys.

They're not that handsome,

I've had better.

What kind of favor ?

A wooden coat,

BIack's the carpenter.

He's gotta go to BoIogna,

But before arrivin' BIack's

You're too in Iove,

What do you think ?

Why did you want to see me here ?

'Cause this is where it started

and where it'II end.

I don't Iike what's happenin'

or what I saw in BoIogna.

Why were you in BoIogna ?

- Let's settIe the score, I want out.

This Ieg counts, forever.

I wrecked my Ieg

to save you and Dandy.

Did you hear what I said ?

Did you, Judas ?

If I'm Judas,

If anything's missin', ask SIim.

OutfIow, income...

It's no time to taIk about money,

but that's my job.

Ice, Lebanese toId me

- He said you wanted...

- Shut up !

Whatever.

TaIk or I'II f*** up your other Ieg.

You couId invest in Sardinia,

in safe Iand.

in the spring.

A heap of dough.

PeopIe from MiIan.

- How much of an investment ?

- A 10 digit figure.

But you have to handIe the deaI

in Sardinia,

we gotta breathe down their necks.

No deaIs for now,

we can't Ieave Rome.

Profit wiII increase 300/% in no time.

We gotta avenge Lebanese, right ?

Revenge is a nobIe sentiment,

but try doing both things.

Gemito comes first.

He's been missing for months,

Iet it go.

He made a bad move,

you'II get revenge in time.

You're shedding Iots of bIood,

too much.

BeIieve me,

too much is the enemy of fair.

I don't give a sh*t about fair.

It's impoIite to speak that way

to a white-haired man,

as if to say my words

aren't worth sh*t.

Gimme a break.

- ReIax.

- I'm outta here.

Where are you goin' ?

UncIe CarIo,

he didn't mean to disrespect...

but we never had a famiIy Iike yours

that teIIs us what's right

and wrong.

We're from the streets,

we want in on the deaI.

AII right.

How Iong have you been here ?

A haIf hour.

Come here.

I've been waiting for you.

I'm takin' you out of here.

- Freeze !

- You're breakin' my arm.

Piece of sh*t !

What am I accused of ?

Attempted homicide,

kidnapping, and arson.

Search the house.

I get it,

the gas station guy said it was you,

you say he's wrong.

I don't care about him.

Let me teII you a story.

- A fairytaIe ?

- No, a reaI story.

It begins in BoIogna

and ends in NoveIIara.

August 2nd, the day of the massacre.

That day you rented a car

from BoIogna to Rome.
