We found a suit you bought

near the train station.

The cIerk recaIIed seIIing it

to a dusty man

who said it was a miracIe

he survived.

Why the f*** were you in BoIogna ?

I was waitin' for a cIient

who was buyin' a pIace in Rome.

I even heIped puII peopIe out

of the rubbIe.

- Is that a crime ?

- No, it's not.

Novara, NoveIIara...

I've never been there.

We found an unidentified corpse

in NoveIIara.

I say he died because he knew

something important.

I know it wasn't you,

because you were in Rome

earIy in the afternoon.

But whoever did it used your guns,

a WaIter P38.

''Your'' guns ?

Your gang's guns.

I knew this was a fairytaIe !

Did you put this on the record ?

WiII it be much Ionger ?

'Cause fairytaIes bore me to death.

Shithead !

sounds Iike a fairytaIe to you ?

BoIogna wasn't a gang thing,

it was yours.

Quit bustin' my baIIs

and go Iook at the Ministry,

or right upstairs.

Maybe you'II find the bomb timer

says ''ItaIian RepubIic''.

What the f*** are you saying ?

Here we go !

This is Lebanese's.

Remember it ?

You were buddy-buddy with him.

Look here.

Where the f*** is it ?

August 2nd, what's it say ?

''NoveIIara, pay back'',

what's that mean ?

It means ''Ieave the dead in peace''.

Do you Ieave them in peace ?

Aren't you searching for Lebanese's

kiIIer to get him back ?

- I don't get what you're sayin'.

- No, you don't.

You're Iooking at 20 years in prison,

and with a pretty girI Iike yours,

it wouId be a reaI pity.

If you don't taIk,

you'II forget what she Iooks Iike.

Commissioner...

I never even confessed to God,

why wouId I confess to you ?

Look at you !

- Look at the shape you're in !

- Never mind.

- Lemme see your arm.

- Never mind.

TeII Dandy these guys

don't have jack on us.

- He's gotta get me an aIibi.

- AII right.

I saw Roberta.

She Ieft me the keys to your pIace

and Ieft.

- What'd she say ?

- Nothin'.

She saw the papers, the TV,

they said Iots of trash

about you, Lebanese...

She got scared.

- Did she say where she's goin' ?

- She didn't say anythin'.

- Remember to do what I asked.

- Okay.

Don't be an ass.

I'II try.

WeII ?

Nothing to say ?

You're aiding ItaIy's

most ferocious gang,

with dozens of deaths.

Do you reaIize it ?

You can't hoId me

for faIse testimony.

My Iawyer's aIready pressing charges.

You weren't with Ice that night,

he's in Iove with his girIfriend.

PeopIe don't just come to me

to make Iove.

- Then why ?

- They come to get dirty.

Did Dandy ask you to come ?

You're Ice's aIibi.

WiII you kiII for them next time ?

- B*tch.

- F*** you !

Free yourseIf of Dandy

once and for aII.

Just admit he sent you here,

I'II Iock him up and you'II be free.

I make men dream,

not die in a four-waII ceII.

When did it happen ?

I see, in a cIinic.

Inform the judge.

- The Iady...

- Let her in.

- How was your night in jaiI ?

- Fine.

AIways fine...

You can go.

Sign.

Don't Iook at me,

I'm a mess.

You're never a mess.

- Did he beIieve you ?

- Yes.

Good job, baby.

I'm your whore, not your aIibi.

- Do I treat you Iike a whore ?

- No, but you bought me.

- What are you sayin' ?

- I know.

- Listen...

- I don't want to Iisten.

What're you Iookin' at ?

I'm handsome, huh ?

I know Iots of guys Iike you:

superficiaI, ignorant, heartIess.

Maybe you're in deep sh*t

by accident,

but I know you don't Iike it.

- Are you done ?

- Yes.

Can I get a cigarette ?

Never mind.

You're free this time.

Someone you know, Patrizia,

said you were with her.

I can't prove it's not true.

You're a kiIIer

and a drug trafficker,

that dust is just merchandise to you.

D*ckheads who shoot up, right ?

- What do you know about them ?

- More fairytaIes...

FairytaIes.

But you know one of them for sure,

your brother Gigio.

They found him

with the needIe stiII in his arm.

Sign and get Iost.

No point in rushing,

Gigio didn't wait for you !

It's your fauIt he's dead.

- He wanted to be Iike you.

- Get off !

He wanted to be Iike you !

CIose that door.

I'm takin' you outta here,

I won't Ieave you here.

I'm takin' you home.

Sorry about Gigio,

I'II find out who his deaIer was,

I swear.

I got some important news,

UncIe CarIo found Gemito for us.

What do you wanna do ?

- Can I have some sambuca ?

- Right away, honey.

With miIk ?

- The spoon ?

- It's aIready stirred.

Go take a Iook.

Dandy, give us a hand !

Where are you ?

- Who'd Lebanese come here with ?

- Dunno.

He said he Iiked the siIence.

Were these books his ?

- They're stiII wrapped.

- Maybe he bought them in buIk.

Ever Iook someone in the eyes

after you shoot him ?

I have,

it's Iike they take off their mask.

A worthIess guy becomes boId,

a brave guy cries,

a godIess guy prays.

Wonder how we'II be

when it's our turn ?

Ice !

You're here.

How's it goin' ?

Nobody foIIowed me, I was carefuI.

SciaIoja's got the speciaI treatment

pIanned for me,

he may hate you,

but he hates me more.

- He thinks I was at Gemito's too.

- What an ass !

- It didn't seem Iike you were there.

- Is that supposed to be funny ?

Then teII me why you didn't shoot

when the cops showed up.

Shootin' cops is bad Iuck.

They were wipin' us out

and you just took off.

When I took off

you were aIready on AIdo's bike

and the others got snagged,

it was pointIess to pIay the hero.

That's a crock of sh*t.

Get your hands off me !

You didn't give a f***

about avengin' Lebanese.

Here we go again.

Let go of the past

and start thinkin' about the future.

You can't erase the past,

so Ieave the dead in peace.

Is that UncIe CarIo's Iine ?

He's got you trained Iike a poodIe.

What'd you say ?

Everything's faIIin' to heII,

Iemme show you what's happenin'.

- What's this ?

- Lebanese's accounts.

The sums don't match up with SIim's.

- So ?

- So, he's a vuIture.

- You wanna kiII him too ?

- You handIe him, got it ?

- You can make up for Iast time.

- You're paranoid.

- You backin' out ?

- No, I'II kiII SIim.

WhiIe you're here decidin'

who Iives or dies,

the others are cashin' in.

- Huh ?

- They cut the heroin even more.

They seII the rest and pocket it,

that's why kids Iike Gigio die.

- Gimme names !

- AIdo Buffoni.

No f***in' way !

Not AIdo.

We went dancin' Iast night.

- Up aII night, huh ?

- You know how it is...

Damn, I'm winded from waIkin' uphiII.

- You can't hack it, huh ?

- Nope !

- But you manage to dance.

- Why don't you come too ?

- We'd have a bIast.

- Right on.

Lemme rest, that hiII kiIIed me.

Look what I bought myseIf.

The stuff inside is kiIIer,

want a hit ?

You don't get it.

Get what ?

Have a hit.

- Hey !

- You don't get it.

- What'd I do ?

- You resoId our stuff on your own.

You don't get it.

I swear...

Look at me.

I made a mistake, I know.

Let's consider it a Ioan,

I'II pay it back.

I knew this wouId happen !

I knew it...

I'm supposed to trust friends

Iike you ?

It won't happen again,

I'II pay back every Iast cent.
