Un uomo in ginocchio Page #4

You!?

Why not me?... "You"?!..

Got a discount.

- Good

- No Nino, bad!

Look at this.

Lamantia.. last night.. look.

The driver.

What you gonna do Nino?

I'm starting to get fed up of all this.

OK, but what are you going to do now?

If there is going to be

shooting, we'll shoot.

What is it this time?

Stop your play-acting, know that you're

looking for me.

In my opinion it's the opposite,

you're looking for me!

You tell then Nino Peralta, is not

connected with Petranka, nor Capuana,

and even less with Lamantia.

Ah! Perhaps you're

speaking of this Lamantia?

Tell them that Capuana was just another

customer of mine.

They've got me confused

with someone else.

OK.. um.. who do have to tell this to?

Whoever gave you the assignment.

Ah.. the assignment.. excuse me but what

assignment?

The assignment that you can't carry out

any more

because now know who you are!

And the money they promised you, you'll

never get it!

Excuse me but does everyone

in Palermo act like this?

I'm minding my own business and suddenly

have to answer all these questions!

Why are you in Palermo?

Why am... I'm enjoying the

lovely sights of the city,

including your face!

And if you must know I'm

visiting an old friend of mine, OK?

We'll go to him together.

No?

Perhaps he's someone that knows Raul

Marini?

Look, don't understand..

Something like this would have to happen to me!?

Please, just leave me alone!

Can pay you...

can pay you more than they can.

Listen! If there's anyway

can be of service to you

I'd be delighted but.. but..

please just leave me alone..

Can pay you more than you can imagine.

Much more.

So you won't have to go

back to Borghetto...

...empty handed Mr. Platamonte

By the way, a friend of yours

would like to say hello.

Look familiar?

But what? You don't want to say hello to

someone you shared a cell with?

Me?... With... Ha-ha! With him?

With this old bum!

Hello Platamonte.

We both... stayed in prison together?

You got mad because snored.

Don't know what to say, don't have a

criminal record,

In fact, I've never done

any time in prison...

I've got an ID card..

um, if you'd like to see my identity card?

- What was that name?

- Platamonte?

And here, what is written?

Domenico Cirilli from

Caltanissetta, there you go!

You made a mistake.

Show me your wrists.

Wrists?

Who are you two? What do you want with

me?

I'll be reporting this!

Nino, if got the wrong

person, that's better, no?

Bye Colicchia... Bye Nino.

See you tomorrow.

Just look at this kid...

Is it alright to come closer?

Is it too late for a coffee?

It's small... but in a good location.

Here we are!

I'll admit you had me

frightened this morning,

everything you were saying

seemed a little... strange?

Assumed you were crazy.

Mentioned it earlier in a

restaurant to a friend,

and told him that I'd met a madman!

But he...

wanted to know all the details.

He's been reading the news.

He connected all the facts, the names...

those guys - Patranka.. Lamantia..

.. And all the others that

have been eliminated.

And he told me what if this

Peralta turned out really

to be an honorable person, who by pure

chance.. or misfortune,

has found himself in a

very difficult situation?

Heh, look how things sometimes turn out.

This friend of mine told me he knew a

person... who has a lot of contacts..

.. That can help..

Let's say, he could be the right person?

One that would know Raul Marini?

No, he never mentioned this name.

My friend telephoned and spoke to the

person who he knows,

and that person who knows about these

things explained the situation.

And things for you... don't seem good.

Tell me about it.

You forgot to mention... about the cup.

The cup, what wrong with it? That cup's

alright isn't it?

Oh, there's nothing wrong with this cup.

This cup is innocent!

I'm speaking of the cup

that was left at the spot

where the kidnapped woman was held.

They found lipstick on the side,

the kind that the Signora uses.

Now, these people entered

before the police did

and they took the cup and gave it to the

person who my friend knows.

OK, so they found a cup... and so?

'Bar Splendour'!

But what need is there

to print it on them?

Publicity? And now that person

is convinced that you're

working with the kidnappers.

But deliver to all sorts of places!

But that place was where

they'd kidnapped Signora.

You were delivering to that

place every day for Capuana.

And maybe you brought.. don't know..

magazines?..

.. Things to eat? Cigarettes?

Want to speak to this person.

Let you speak to him?

Peralta, where do you think you are?!

In Paris?! In Amsterdam?! Eh?

Let you speak to him? You speak to me!

Speak to my friend and he's the one who

speaks to that person he knows,

but we take separate steps to get there.

But, there is some hope.

Goon.

This person... this person at the top...

Don't ever listen to people

when they say they are

men of honor, men of honor!

No don't.

Because they're nothing but rats, the

higher they are the lower they get!

Know, know, let's wrap it up.

My friend told me that this person wants

to make a profit out of your situation

And so he said fine can help but,

what's his name? This Peralta,

can he find 20,000,000 or so?...

Twenty million?

Why, how much you got?

Not much.. not much at all.

The kiosk... must've cleaned you out.

Sell it. Sure, selling quickly is bad.

But, thank God you have it.

Imagine if you had nothing!

To buy this had to spend two

years inside.. TWO YEARS!

Know how you feel...

that you think of me as an enemy

because tell you bad things

you don't want to hear.

But I've only told you the truth.

That there actually is a list.

And that your name is written underneath

Capuana's,

Schirro, Patranka and Lamantia

don't know...

if you want them to cross it out...

But have you actually seen the cup?

First you came to me and

offered to pay me real well,

Now, your asking me if

the cup really exists!

And this kind of talk...

won't achieve anything.

We can talk about this another day.

Tomorrow, when.. when you've thought

about it well.

Dad, what did he want?

Why was he talking to you?

Come here.

Help me count the cups, those under the

counter.

- Why?

- Shut up, just count.

Won't let them get away

with a thing like this.

A cup with lipstick on it.

Won't fall for it..

trying to put me on the spot.

- How many did you count?

- 15

There's a mistake, there

should be four more?

You dropped one of the

cups on the first day.

Ah, yes. Colicchia broke

another and so did a customer.

That leaves one. Did you break it?

- No!

- Yes, you broke it!

I'd have told you.

- Maybe you were afraid I'd punish you?

- didn't swear!

- Tell me you broke it son!

- It's the truth!

- Say you did it!

- Leave me! You're hurting me!

It's important, you understand!?

Can't have left it in there!

And all you can think about

are these dirty pictures!
