parasite!

Understand, now sit down!

Serenella!

How come the kids are still awake?

To bed, the two of you.

Gotta go now.

There's pasta with sardines...

it's still hot.

The one who gave the order to kidnap the

woman,

and the ones who actually did it.

The jailers

Don't tell every thing to

her, you can tell me too.

And the ones who fed her.

Who decided this?

Word is all around town, they planned it

so everyone can count the

executions, one by one.

And so, everyone will

now who's in charge.

So... the watchman, that's one.

Schirro, two.

The third is Patranka.

Four is Capuana.

To make eight, they need four more.

Say the fifth is Ferarra who is...

The sixth, Saledino who has also gone

undercover

The seventh, what think, is Giovanni

Fortunado Lamantia

who is a friend of Patranka.

The eighth, don't know.

And you look at me?!

But you told me to talk to you.

But how is it possible that

the guy that they tortured

would mention Nino?

There's no reason to?

Don't believe he mentioned my name.

And want to talk to that

lawyer Raul Marini!

Whoaa! He's in Switzerland!

And the Madam has to recover

from all the excitement.

And then when when it's died down,

these people will be free of any dirt!

And who is it who's dirty?

Who organized this group of killers?

They're friends of course!

No, this is all crazy,

they can't get away with murder,

I'll go and talk to

that man at the hotel,

and say 'Watch out', I've

left a detailed letter

at the police headquarters, that's right!

Police headquarters!

It will say if anything bad

should happen to my husband,

the you'll be responsible for it.

Then what will they do?

Whoever sent him here will send him back

home.

You see?

And then they'll send another who don't

know to shoot me when it's all quiet.

Miss, these things are made up

of groups of three... or four.

Each one must concentrate on the person

they have to eliminate.

Remember the building war?

They said six and six went.

And the feud in Sierra Di Falco,

they said eleven and

eleven were eliminated.

To hear how he recalls it,

you'd think it was funny.

But I'm not being funny,

this all made history.

Need my injection!

This guy Lamantia, does he count?

More than the others.

What will we do if Daddy dies?

Don't say stupid things.

He would be better coffin prison.

Don't worry, Daddy's

not going to get hurt.

Go to sleep.

Goodnight. Thanks Miss Lucia.

I'm going to see someone who think can

help.

- Are you carrying your gun?

- Yes.

Be careful, can't see that man.

Who are you, a sentry?!

You should stay at home.

Must speak with some people.

- At night?

- Yes

But won't be long, you go to bed and

will continue our talk tomorrow.

Like him, he's sharp!

Tell me about this Lamantia.

The war started when Lamantia

returned from the north,

he's very ambitious and planned to climb

right to the top of the ladder!

Don't know any Nino Peralta.

Run the kiosk near the fish

warehouse, it belonged to Capuana.

Don't know any Capuana!

He knows Capuana, he knows.

We'll see.

We'll see what? You can't go to

Lamantia's house, that's crazy,

you'd be a sitting target!

What should do?

Lock myself in the house? Run away?

Want to stay alive Colicchia, the

sooner we sort this out, the better.

Common... well?

Damn it!

Understand, wait for me here.

It's still Peralta, Mr. Lamantia.

I'm not interested.

We have to speak about the kidnapping of

Mrs Raul Marini.

Stand still! Don't move!

- Yes, but don't get upset.

- Luigi, search him.

Inside!

Easy, you see just came here to talk.

Keep still, keep still!

Don't bring him any closer.

Talk about what? What kidnapping?

Nino Peralta from the kiosk!

Which kiosk!?

What do you want? What do you want?!

There is someone who has been told to

organize all of

these killings by a certain

well known lawyer.

What's the name, you must tell me.

Did he have a weapon?

You bring a gun into my house!?

My life is being threatened over a

kidnapping that

had nothing to do with..

and you know very well about this.

If you're honest, you should say so.

Who sent you?

I'm on my own. came for myself.

Tell me the name of the person.

But what name? Everything is quiet here.

It's quiet!

Tell him the name! Tell him!

How much do you want to kill an enemy of

ours and yours?

Tell me a figure? Tell me!

Watch that trigger!

It can go off easily!

Quiet... Quiet... Quiet!.. Idiot!

You'd reveal anything he asked you.

Nino Peralta, huh?.. The drink stand?

You delivered drinks to Capuana's

warehouse...

bet the spy was YOU!

And you took our enemies to Capuana's

place!

And the watchman.. who cut his throat?

Did you do it?

Don't want to kill you cos don't want a

corpse in the house!

Don't shout Giovanni!

And wouldn't know where to hide it!

- They found the driver, he'll be over at once.

- Good!

Bring my jacket and suitcase.

And you remember, this is an honorable

household

Don't worry the boys are staying.

They can walk ahead of me.

Why do have to pay for your dirty war?!

What war? Who's fighting? Get moving!

You should be ashamed, disturbing

people in their own homes.

No! Stop! Him first...

make him go first.

Go ahead, get moving!

Give me back my pistol.

But what do you need the pistol for, uh?

My briefcase..

my briefcase, go and bring it.

Get out!

What if need to defend myself?

What do you mean?

Everything is quiet here.

- Outside!

- Get lost! Out!

What are they doing with my briefcase?

You still here, get lost!

Hide your pistol Luigi.

What is it Dad, you feeling bad?

- You shouldn't smoke.

- Here's your briefcase.

The car's here!

Hi guys, was sent by Santino.

Be right with you...

Do everything told you boys.

Look after yourself, for heaven's sake.

Important thing is to keep calm..

and look after your mother.

Goodbye sons.

- Oh, the exams!.. Be sure to take them

at University like we said? - Yes, OK.

Look who's here!

- Hey, Patrizia - you've put on weight!

- No, didn't.

- Ho!

- What do mean "ho"!

What you doing here?

Finally get your nerves up?

How'd it go with Lamantia?

He's run off. need a pistol.

You had one though?

Need another, take this.

Bring it to my house tomorrow morning.

Nino you mustn't go

home, it's dangerous,

they might be waiting for you.

Stay with me!

And share a bed with you and that blonde

with the fat ares?

No, left her, moved out.

Where?

To Lega

It's a hostel for workmen.

Not too fancy, but it's

more safer than a hotel

We're agreed, right?

The first that farts, he dies!

Heh...The Baron!

Listen, how much do they pay these

professional killers?

Depends. On the urgency, difficulty

or the person in question.

From 5,000 to 5,000,000

And for me.. how much?

A million, a million and a half.

You ever shoot anyone?

Yes. It was a question of honor, not for

money.

That's why you were in for 11 years?

No... that was for another thing.

It was over a woman... she was a lady..
