But the young man has connections and he soon finds himself a security agent at the Milan Cathedral. Of course the bumbling idiot proves a living catastrophe! Spotted by Sufien, an Arab terrorist who is preparing an attack against the cathedral, Checco appears as the perfect sucker.

00:
00:40,039 -- 00:00:42,878

If I made it to such high levels,

it wasn't easy.

2

00:
00:43,679 -- 00:00:45,798

Natural talents were insufficing,

3

00:
00:46,799 -- 00:00:50,678

it took me tenacity, obstinacy, ab...

4

00:
00:51,599 -- 00:00:53,478

negation, culture

5

00:
00:54,639 -- 00:00:58,238

and, I guess, a pinch of luck too.

6

00:
01:13,609 -- 00:01:15,758

- MY HEROICALS -

7

00:
01:18,079 -- 00:01:21,558

But let's start from the start,

how I took my first steps.

8

00:
01:21,639 -- 00:01:23,918

Good morning.

9

00:
01:24,239 -- 00:01:30,198

A pleasure, Zalone.

10

00:
01:30,319 -- 00:01:32,438

- Don't stand.

- Mr. Zalone...

11

00:
01:33,599 -- 00:01:36,278

- It says here you're from Apulia.

- Yes.

12

00:
01:36,559 -- 00:01:38,518

But you live near Milan.

13

00:
01:38,599 -- 00:01:41,838

We've been in Lombardy for years,

by now I'm a native.

14

00:
01:42,319 -- 00:01:43,638

Good, good.

15

00:
01:43,719 -- 00:01:46,838

Is this your second attempt

to join the Force?

16

00:
01:46,919 -- 00:01:48,238

My third.

17

00:
01:49,639 -- 00:01:52,718

Aggravating circumstances

of the habitual offender!

18

00:
01:56,759 -- 00:02:00,278

Why this desire to be a Carabiniere?

19

00:
02:00,839 -- 00:02:04,798

It's been a passion of mine

since I was 10.

20

00:
02:04,879 -- 00:02:07,038

My Uncle Giuseppe was a Carabiniere.

21

00:
02:08,799 -- 00:02:12,078

So, he was the one

who got you in to this feeling,

22

00:
02:12,159 -- 00:02:13,878

this feeling of patriotism...

23

00:
02:13,959 -- 00:02:17,557

He got me in to the game

whenever I wanted.

24

00:
02:17,959 -- 00:02:20,038

And loads of things... Christmas!

25

00:
02:20,239 -- 00:02:22,078

Christmas was fantastic!

26

00:
02:22,519 -- 00:02:25,918

He'd seize fireworks, bring them home

27

00:
02:26,039 -- 00:02:29,358

and let us shoot them off all night.

28

00:
02:29,959 -- 00:02:31,718

Uncle Giuseppe was great.

29

00:
02:31,799 -- 00:02:34,918

- Is your uncle still in the Force?

- Oh yeah.

30

00:
02:35,159 -- 00:02:38,478

- Good, give me his name.

- Capobianco Giuseppe.

31

00:
02:39,839 -- 00:02:42,318

The Finance Police can run a check.

32

00:
02:43,199 -- 00:02:46,158

The Finance?

Then write:
Capobianco Vincenzo.

33

00:
02:46,358 -- 00:02:49,158

- Who's he?

- His brother, he's in the Finance.

34

00:
02:49,238 -- 00:02:51,437

They'd seize cigarettes,

35

00:
02:51,559 -- 00:02:53,998

tons of cigarettes!

36

00:
02:54,639 -- 00:02:59,078

Once I asked him for...

I don't say a carton, just a pack...

37

00:
02:59,599 -- 00:03:01,918

A Carabiniere's more of a gentleman.

38

00:
03:03,999 -- 00:03:06,918

You won't believe this,

but I was rejected again.

39

00:
03:07,519 -- 00:03:09,958

Didn't hit it off with that colonel.

40

00:
03:10,279 -- 00:03:11,678

That can happen.

41

00:
03:11,878 -- 00:03:15,198

Who's never got on

some high school prof's neck?

42

00:
03:16,079 -- 00:03:19,798

Me, I never went!

43

00:
03:20,238 -- 00:03:22,638

I remember my dejection, bitterness,

44

00:
03:23,279 -- 00:03:25,518

my aimless wandering,

45

00:
03:26,359 -- 00:03:29,557

when suddenly a light lit up...

46

00:
03:31,639 -- 00:03:33,758

It was the fuel warning.

47

00:
03:40,199 -- 00:03:41,918

Gas is back there.

48

00:
03:47,199 -- 00:03:48,838

LPG, 7 Euros.

49

00:
03:49,359 -- 00:03:51,478

Now I had to break it to my mother,

50

00:
03:51,559 -- 00:03:54,398

who, to pull me through,

had turned to high circles,

51

00:
03:54,479 -- 00:03:56,198

the... highest.

52

00:
03:56,919 -- 00:04:00,038

Holy Mary, mother of God

pray for us sinners...

53

00:
04:00,199 -- 00:04:02,998

Quiet, Checco's ringing.

54

00:
04:03,599 -- 00:04:05,438

You listen too, Maria.

55

00:
04:07,599 -- 00:04:08,718

Mom...

56

00:
04:10,519 -- 00:04:11,677

they screwed me.

57

00:
04:11,958 -- 00:04:13,438

No!

58

00:
04:13,959 -- 00:04:17,958

Third time! The devil

with you and Checco too.

59

00:
04:19,478 -- 00:04:22,398

My son's just unlucky!

60

00:
04:22,719 -- 00:04:24,478

My Carabiniere dream gone,

61

00:
04:24,959 -- 00:04:27,918

I went back to working

at that stupid disco,

62

00:
04:28,159 -- 00:04:31,478

where what scared you

wasn't violence, it was mentality,

63

00:
04:31,879 -- 00:04:34,758

the narrow-minded pacifism.

64

00:
04:36,559 -- 00:04:39,038

Checco, it's awful seeing you like this.

65

00:
04:39,119 -- 00:04:42,078

So you didn't make it, don't be down.

66

00:
04:43,239 -- 00:04:46,838

- Your thing's security.

- This is security?

67

00:
04:47,478 -- 00:04:49,998

You call this security,

a place like this?

68

00:
04:50,279 -- 00:04:52,838

Security's action,

movement, intervention.

69

00:
04:53,879 -- 00:04:54,838

Watch.

70

00:
04:55,679 -- 00:04:58,717

Good evening Miss,

outstanding, a nice rack,

71

00:
04:58,998 -- 00:05:01,558

- Outstanding to you too who...

- Thank you.

72

00:
05:01,759 -- 00:05:05,278

Not at all, jerk....

The mentality's all wrong.

73

00:
05:06,518 -- 00:05:08,597

You need a job worthy of you.

74

00:
05:09,759 -- 00:05:12,718

- I gotta pee.

- Okay, I'll handle things.

75

00:
05:15,679 -- 00:05:19,277

Good evening, Miss,

outstanding rack you've got there.

76

00:
05:19,399 -- 00:05:21,398

Outstanding to you too who...

77

00:
05:21,999 -- 00:05:23,758

What the f*** do you want?

78

00:
05:23,839 -- 00:05:29,078

- Sorry, just getting the mentality.

- I'll give you the mentality!

79

00:
05:34,159 -- 00:05:37,797

But a real security man

knows his moment will come...

80

00:
05:38,478 -- 00:05:44,638

Intelligence fears terrorist action

targeting monuments and churches.

81

00:
05:44,759 -- 00:05:46,078

...he's gotta be ready...

82

00:
05:46,359 -- 00:05:50,318

Security must be tightened

by hiring more men.

83

00:
05:50,958 -- 00:05:52,518

...gotta push forward...

84

00:
05:52,598 -- 00:05:57,118

Men who are professionally prepared

and absolutely trustworthy.

85

00:
05:57,278 -- 00:05:59,118

...you gotta find courage...

86

00:
05:59,758 -- 00:06:01,838

That letter from Father Bruno

87

00:
06:01,958 -- 00:06:04,878

asking me to help

his housekeeper's son,

88

00:
06:05,798 -- 00:06:07,518

let's contact him.

89

00:
06:08,238 -- 00:06:10,437

...you gotta pull strings guys!

90

00:
06:15,009 -- 00:06:18,808

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY

91

00:
06:27,438 -- 00:06:29,838

Father Bruno's a saint!

92

00:
06:33,119 -- 00:06:34,398

You got a job,

93

00:
06:34,598 -- 00:06:37,597

- now you'll find a nice girl.

- Let's hope!

94

00:
06:47,478 -- 00:06:48,598

The car?

95

00:
06:49,319 -- 00:06:52,998

- Security. The bishop?

- That way.

96

00:
06:58,318 -- 00:07:00,878

Gabriele, go easy on breakfasts!

97

00:
07:00,959 -- 00:07:02,038

Move, it's late!

98

00:
07:06,159 -- 00:07:08,597

- Zalone, security.

- Ivano. Your photos?

99

00:
07:09,639 -- 00:07:11,238

Very good.

100

00:
07:12,079 -- 00:07:14,197

You'll be at the entrance

to the Archbishop's See.
