Un uomo in ginocchio Page #6

your stall for you.

Not Capuana. Patranka.

Who was a friend of Capuana.

They were the power around here.

Peralta, you've got it wrong!

The real power round here is only one

person.. one person!

Well, if we speak with this person...

.. who stays out of sight...

like some sort of spirit.

Do you know Ferrara?

He was one of the collectors.

Then you know him well?

He was around every week.

In my car.

Does Ferrara know you weren't in on it?

Sure he knows.. but what help is that?

Suppose he testified for

you to that person?

Ferrara?! You think he'd

come out of hiding and

get his head blown off to help me!?

"Died Saving Nino Peralta"! What are you

saying?

Don't worry...

- - don't know why I'm

doing this to help you!

What do get?... Especially after

that beating you gave me..

You're tough, have poor health and a bad

heart.

But hope when this whole

story has finished

that you'll remember what did for you?

You will be right?

At that balcony lives a..

how should say... 'free (loose) woman'.

Got a cigarette?

What are we doing going to a whore?

We're not.. but Ferrara is.

Know what you're thinking.

That he should be more careful.

But he's not in hiding, he's not scared.

He's not on the list.

Maybe should explain,

he is pretending to hide,

so that no-one will know

that he was the spy, the one

who told the other guys

where they were keeping the lady..

but of course he was.

The amount of times dreamt of having a

cigarette whilst in jail.

Where did you do you bid?

At Scivi Di Vecchia

And you were where?

You didn't really believe

that was Domenico Cirilli

from Caltanissetta did you?

Platamonte from Borghetto.

Pleased to meet you.

There he is.

- You sure?

- I'm sure.

Wait.

But we have to speak with him?

Let's go somewhere and have a coffee!

But don't we need to speak with Ferrara?

No, common let him mess around with that

woman first.

If you were interrupted at a time

like that, what would you say!?

- And who are they?

- Who?

Stop! Where are they going?

- What do you mean?

- Give me the keys!

Stop the car! STOP!

Watch it or I'll shoot you!

Shoot who?

Shoot! Go ahead shoot,

you son of a whore!

Come back "cornudo!"

Cornudo! (A man whose wife sleeps with

other men)

Peralta Cornudo!

I'll have a coffee by myself!

Murderers!

Don't let them get away!

You should have come for coffee, it was

delicious!

Dirty traitor.. swine!

Swine? Who's a swine?

That Ferrara took it up the ares,

Always talking, always talking,

You knew what he looked like,

our job was to identify him,

you gave us the answer and thank you.

But don't forget he's one of

those who got you into trouble

by kidnapping the Signora, understand?

And you're weeping for him and running

down the

street as if it were the Olympics!

Don't shout, you idiot.

OK, if you prefer me to whisper.

Your name is still on the list.

I'm waiting at the snooker

hall in the market,

get over here at once or I'll pass

the contract on to someone else.

What luck I'm having...

Well then, what do you want to do?

Amateurs!

I've been reduced to sh*t Lucia.

Don't say that!

And what should say?

Don't say it because it's not true.

Have take orders and obey

like a piece of sh*t!

You have to do better than

that if you want to win!

You're not concentrating.

If tell that person

I've investigated well,

that Nino Peralta's

innocent, he'll believe me.

And you know why he should believe me?

Because you'd be talking

against your own interests

just kill me and get your money.

Go on. Go on!

I'm sorry but why do you

look at me like that?

Was the one who forgot the coffee cup?

Was the one who signed your death warrant?

Nino, we're both victims!

Get it into your head! The two of us!

I'll say one thing, I'm ready to give

up 2 million lira to save your skin.

And you expect me to believe you?

Of course! I'm ready to give

up what that person offered,

but you will have to help out.

Ah, well then, I'll

have to give it to you.

And my family?

How is my family supposed to eat? How?

Am supposed to come out

of all this empty handed?

Whether you're guilty or innocent,

tell me why shouldn't shoot you!

Why should can't shoot!?

Because might shoot you first.

You wanna take the risk?

F***ing Platamonte from Borghetto!

You'd like to kill me now wouldn't you.

Well then, why don't you do it?

But what will it get you?

You see Nino... we are both caught in

something that's much bigger than us.

But there is one way to screw them.

You save your life and take home my two

million. Understand?

And what do you want from me after that,

huh?

My furniture? My bedding?

But what do you take me for?

Only want the money that was guaranteed

when came here to Palermo to do my job.

Two million.

But what is two million for a life?

Bring it to me tomorrow evening at 'Bar

Piccadilly'.

One last effort, then

you can finish this!?

Bring me some cars,

you're the specialist.

That's the past.

Got these two kids now, they're quick!

But I'm always happy

to look out for you,

if you can bring me some small

cylinder semi new cars,

I'll pay a good price. 300,000 a piece!

To make what need I'd have to

bring in 7 or 8 by tonight.

What's the rush?

Doesn't concern you.

Well then, bring me a Jaguar

or a Mercedes, a new one.

- No - But if it's urgent...

there are lots of jewelers and banks..

Can't do it.

Every pro must first

start at some point.

My friend, we're just

talking and talking here,

but you know very well came here

for you to give me the money.

Don't have to give you anything.

With all the things

that I've done for you,

and you didn't even go to jail,

if I'd have given them your name,

you'd have been in there with me!

What are you doing?!

You get mixed up in something dirty and

you want me to get in trouble with you?

There one thing you can

do, it's what said.

Tell mamma I'll be back late.

Well?

Want to come with you.

No, have to look for work

Don't lie.

Don't make be angry, go back home.

No, I'm coming with you!

You have to learn to do as you're told,

understand? Now go!

Nino, did you speak to your friend?

What did he say?

Nino! Where are you going!??

He's gone to do a robbery.

Take this upstairs.

- Can get a loan from someone?

- From whom?

From Doctor Ralo?

And why do you think he would do it?

Because he's a good person.

He looked after our girl lots

of times when you were inside.

Yes, know, know.

Don't get any crazy ideas.

Tell me what you're thinking, OK?

I'm thinking it would be funny if on top

of all this you were.. (sleeping around)

could murder you!

Yes, well everyone wants

to murder me these days!

Of course was bored and missed us making

love. Didn't you miss it too?

If one day your cell door

opened and a girl walked in

what would have said?

'No thanks, I'm faithful to my wife'?!

Tell me, please. You'd have done it, no?

Me too, if a man would have appeared

in my room, would have made love.
