What do you mean?

Nothing! That thought about going to bed

with Dr. Ralo but didn't do it.

You have a wife who was faithful

to you for two years, OK!?

Didn't go to jail to have a good time!

Respect you but don't insult me.

Go back home Lucia.

Nino, they could kill you here.

Don't worry won't give them the chance.

I'm not that stupid.

I'm just waiting outside to speak to a client.

But what if they shoot straight away?

Know but don't worry it'll be quiet.

Now go back home Lucia.

- No Nino, not the bank! No!

- Go home.. go home. Go!

No, wait!

Watch what he's doing.

Who?

The customer with the Jaguar...

if he starts writing there plenty of time.

Give me a signal.

Take this and hide it under your shoal.

- How are you Emilio!?

- Hi!

Stop!

If that boy dies could get 20 years.

Don't worry, he's not dead!

Went and looked at the hospital,

all he did was hurt his head...

...and break one leg.

Didn't want to hurt him.

Didn't want to hit him but

he jumped in front of me!

They'll never catch you anyway.

Bring the supper to your father.

It was a red Jaguar!

I'm back at the old game.

- It's like it's destiny Lucia.

- No!

That man called.

He said he can't make the appointment

but at 7 o'clock Bar Piccadilly

he'll send a person he can trust

that you can hand over the money to... a

woman.

And why can't he make it, did he say?

Just that they'd found out the

address of a certain Saledino

and that the rest you'd understand?

OK, I'm going.

Wait.

Colicchia!

Colicchia?

Are you going to wait for me or not?

Who did this to you?

Cornudo! (A man whose wife sleeps with

other men)

was with two friends on the bus,

had my hand on his wallet when the bus

went over a bump

and dropped it on the?oor!

OK, OK. Here.

No don't want to bother you. No.

Buy yourself something decent

to eat, you'll feel better.

Thanks.

Nino, have tell you something...

get it off my chest.

Did it.

I'm the one who forgot the cup!

Don't worry about it.

How can not worry about it?

For something like that should

jump in front of a train!

- Can go now?

- Yeah sure, go.

You're a pal.

But who are you?

But didn't you say the

appointment was at the bar?

At the bar? Ah, of course!

Sorry, got a bit confused, it's my fault!

I'm sorry.

You'll find him if you go to the bar.

If it's OK with you, think

I'll wait for him here.

Go and get your father!

No, stay here.

It's cold outside!

Mmm.. stew with beans, eh?

Smells wonderful!

Too bad because my

stomach is in bad shape,

I'm not blaming your husband though.

But beating me up certainly didn't do me

good.

Why are you staring?

What's wrong?

Please... leave us alone...

Do you have problems with your nerves?

Go away!

What are you doing!?

Nothing! Nothing! You don't think I'd

hurt a boy do you!? You, stay in there..

- What's the meaning of this?

- There, great! You get in there too, keep him company!

What do you want to do?

Keep quiet and nothing

will happen to you.

- Let us out!

- Save your breath!

Let us out!

Said keep quiet!

That was a gun.

Like father, like son.

Be good... be good.

Was sent by Platamonte.

- There he is! PAPA!

- NINO!

Be careful, that man is here!

Papa, watch out! Papa, watch out!

- It's that man Nino, careful!

- Papa, be careful!

Be quiet!

Be careful!

Peralta, don't move!

I've got your girl!

Good night.

You too Paolo.

You sleep there tonight.

That man was really frightened.

Don't believe he'll be back.

Maybe he won't but his friends might?

They've taken everything from

us and it's done nothing.

That traitor hasn't spoken

to anyone about me.

He's just cheated and stolen from me.

Now he has to do the job he was

hired for or it's his ares.

Who is it?

Open Peralta, it's the police!

Don't open it!

Open in the name of the law.

But who is it?

It's Officer Corleo, we're not here to arrest you.

Common, open up Nino!

What's happened officer?

You have to identify the body of

a man who was killed last night.

It's in there.

Recognise him?

- Yes

- What's his name?

Colicchia

Sebastiano Colicchia

A man arrived here late

last night, asked for bed

and laid down without getting undressed.

At some point in the night Colicchia

got up and went to the bathroom.

The other guy went in. Shot him with a

silencer and left quietly.

- Average build about..

- 35.

- Light suit

- Hazel!

OK, brown then.

Moustache. Glasses.

With a tie.

Yes OK, he was also wearing a tie.

So then, do you recognise who the killer

could be?

Sir, the Prosecutor is here.

Do you know him?

No.

- May?

- Good morning Commissioner

Good morning sir.

- Firearm?

- Yes, yes firearm.

Yesterday at Monreale they murdered

another associate of Capuana

Enrico Saledino, and that makes seven.

Now that the delivery boy has paid,

that's eight and the game is over.

But didn't you ever suspect what Colicchia

was up to right under your nose?

Cunning guy eh?

No, he wasn't very cunning.

Not very smart to die like that.

You know what really thought?

That the eighth was you.

And why me?

Why Colicchia?

Yeah, why Colicchia...

He's being buried instead of you.

I'm almost pleased that

it's ended this way.

Forgive me Lord.

Go back home now Lucia, have to speak to

someone.

- Can have some money for the shopping

- Yes.

That enough?

- That's enough, bye

- Bye

Nino! Nino!

Imagine meeting you like this!

I'm Arminize!

Arminize?

Yeah, Cece Arminize your old friend!

You don't remember me?

We used to play together when we were

small!

Ah yes, remember.

They told me you had a successful

business which pays well.

Said what sort of business is he in?

They said 'He opened a drink stall'.

Sol passed by to have a look but never see you there?

Sold it.

You sold it? What do you do now?

Nothing. I'm looking for work.

You're looking for work?

Come on, come on! think can help you.

Let's talk for a moment. Come on!

Must introduce you to someone!

I'm so glad that we met like this!

Why are we here?

Always try and avoid this street.

There's my drink stand.

- Alright you're closing down. Don Vincenzo says.

- Why?

You heard why!

- Go home now!

- Give me the keys.

Keep still. Don't say nothing.

Quiet.

Nino Peralta!

You were supposed to be dead by now but

a friend of yours has died instead.

How do you explain that?

You're asking me that?

Am Vincenzo Fabbricante. Do you know me?

Am just a poor man.

don't know those that count

When you don't know anyone who counts

you must watch your step very carefully.

And you have to be very

careful now because

can imagine what you'll

say to save yourself.

Whose signatures are these?

Mine and my wife's.

Ah, and this Mr. Inpinna you handed

your stall to. You know him?

He's a frontman.

A frontman? For Vincenzo Fabbricante?

My friend, I'm not interested

in peddling coffee.

Didn't trick you out of your

stand and your two million.

You've some funny ideas

in your head Peralta.

Would you like to know how much we were
