In a city in Sicily

a prisoner recently extradited
from Germany, Rosario Granchio,

seeks to reveal a terrible secret
to Judge Silvia Conti.

But before he can talk he's killed,

practically under the nose
of his minder,

the young inspector
Gianni Breda.

Silvia is granted permission
to investigate.

It was in this same Sicilian city

that Corrado Cattani
had taken on the Octopus,

a battle which resulted
in his death.

Meanwhile, Rosario Granchio's
death sparks a feud.

Sara, Granchio's daughter,
kills the lover of NuZZo Marciano,

the boss who murdered her father
and her fianc� Antonio.

The woman's young son,
Nino Rodio, also dies in the attack.

Isolated and desperate, Sara joins
her brother Biagio's gang.

Their war against Marciano's clan
appears suicidal

but the Mafia boss
is forced to hold fire

by the old godfather Aragonese,
who is hiding in the mountains.

I n fact, Aragonese is running
a massive operation

laundering money into Russia

along with
Countess Olga Camastra,

once romantically linked
to I nspector Cattani.

Meanwhile, Saverio Bronta,
an Italian expatriate in Russia,

uncovers the dealings of
the countess and her associates

and returns to Sicily,
abandoning his wife Chiara.

On learning this, Aragonese
orders Marciano to kill him.

But Bronta gains NuZZo's ear

thanks to an old friendship which
also involved Rosario Granchio,

and details the massive laundering
operation he's discovered.

NuZZo decides
to ally himself with Saverio

against his boss
and Countess Camastra

and seiZe the illicit fortune.

OCTOPUS 7

I nvestigation into the Death
of I nspector Cattani

Part Three

Luigi Aragonese,
the head of the Family.

Our only clue
to his appearance

is a 30-year-old photo.

But Rosario Granchio,
who belongs to his clan,

returns to Italy.

He wants to inform
on Aragonese and is killed.

before a gang of youths
took over.

And here, rackets mean
Mafia and Aragonese.

Sara works as a maid
in NuZZo's house.

And NuZZo's girlfriend
and son are murdered.

Sara disappears.

We find out that NuZZo
works for Countess Camastra

and you're enticed away
with an overseas posting.

I get the retailer Altofonte
to report NuZZo for extortion.

But he immediately retracts.

Maybe he was forced to.

But I'd like to know

why Rosario Granchio
asked to talk to you.

As if only you
would understand.

He wanted to see you
and was killed.

You question his daughter,
she goes to NuZZo, then vanishes.

You investigate him
and they try to remove you.

Someone's afraid of you.

I've finished.

This is Aragonese today.

With a 20% margin for error.

My men turned the town
upside down...

Saverio isn't there.

I'm sure.

Otherwise, I'd have
found him.

Saverio is here,
so keep looking.

Why do you worry so much
about him?

He's alone now,
without weapons or men.

If you take everything
from a man...

you also have to kill him

or you'll create the most
dangerous animal there is...

a man who has
nothing more to lose.

Not even his own life,
which he doesn't value.

And if someone like that
decides to return,

it means he's found a way
to make you suffer.

I'm always cold here.

My blood no longer warms me.

It's as if I had
a raging wind in my veins

that's freeZing me within.

Go into town.

Find out
what NuZZo is up to.

We must get the money now.
Aragonese is suspicious.

If we take his money
we'll always have to hide.

Let him keep it for now.

He'll protect his billions
more closely than himself.

But we can't kill him.

He's on that mountain
with Sarcone's men.

Let's get the money
while we can.

NuZZo, I'm offering you
much more than money.

Aragonese is
the Family boss.

The Board must accept you
as his successor.

They'll see we've done them
a favour.

Once Aragonese is dead,

the State will believe
it is now free of enemies.

And what do you want?

Why are you doing this?

Someone else is
behind Aragonese and Camastra...

The real owners
of those billions...

That's who I'm after.

It's almost midnight
here on Radio Tam Tam.

We'll be back
after a bit of music.

When I saw you
leaving the Judge's office

and you didn't have
the courage

to tell me
what had happened,

I realised
your silence would continue

that evening at home...

the next morning
and forever.

No one's right in this
and no one's wrong.

Try to go on loving me.

But I need to be alone
for a while,

to think things over.

Hey there, it's midnight!

And it's time for
Radio Tam Tam.

Tonight is
a very special night.

I'm meeting with a phantom.

If he dares to show up.

This city is full of secrets.

Secrets that only a phantom
is brave enough to discuss.

Sit behind.

Altofonte's with that slime
from Radio Tam Tam.

Yes, I'm sure.

We're almost there.
Don't go to sleep

or you'll miss
something really exciting.

A few minutes more
and you'll hear the phantom.

Here we are...

Sure I won't be recognised?

This will completely
disguise your voice.

Go on, try talking.

I've never talked
on radio before.

Come on... Are you ready?

It'll be fun. You'll see.

Are you still tuned?
I hope so.

A new segment
on Radio Tam Tam

is about to set
the airwaves on fire.

Tonight we have
"The Hour of the Unnamed".

Yes, friends. We've decided
to broadcast

confessions and accusations
from anyone prepared to talk.

Why? Because informing
isn't a sin.

You've bottled it all up
for years.

I know you're dying
to talk.

Just dial a number.
116... 646.

But now to tonight's guest.

Mr X, one of our city's
shop owners.

- Good evening, Mr X.
- Good evening.

I feel very embarrassed.

I've never done this before,

but I feel it's important...

You can leave it on.

Your craZy son
is outdoing himself tonight.

What do you mean?

Turn it on.

What will you talk about?

I'm a shop owner, and...

and I've come to say

I've paid protection money
for years.

We used to pay the Mafia

but now we must pay
these new criminals

known as "The Star Gang".

What are you waiting for?

Are you scared?

Congratulations, Mr X.
One nil to you.

Not so hard, is it?
But don't stop now.

Who are these people?
Can you name them?

I don't know their names,

but they emerged
after that child was killed.

I think they killed him.

That's a start
but we need more.

Tell us their names.
Don't keep us hanging, Mr X.

No, you can't ask me that.
It's too dangerous.

A bit of suspense is good,
don't you agree?

But stay tuned.
You'll be rewarded.

Duck.

It's them!
Let's get out of here.

They're following us.
They're coming at us.

They're going to kill us!

Keep talking.

They're after us.
They're on their bikes.

Call for help.
Say where we are.

Quick, we're in Via Medina.
Got that?

Help us! The Star Gang
is shooting at us.

They're out to kill us.
They're shooting!

It's Breda here. There's a
shoot-out in progress.

Two cars are on their way.

- I'm going.
- Me too.

- No way.
- Altofonte's our only witness.

Get moving.

Keep talking.
Don't stop.

Tell them.

Talk!

My name is Mario Altofonte.
We need help!

They're after us on bikes.
Help us. They'll kill us!

I accuse NuZZo Marciano
of years of extortion.

He took all I had
and made me his accomplice.

Can you hear me, Giulia?

Go on. Don't stop.
Tell them everything.

Keep talking!

We must help them.

Call NuZZo.

There's nothing I can do.

But he's my son.
Don't you understand?

I'm sorry.

Your son asked for it.

The money we struggle to pay
makes somebody rich.

That's it. Now name them.

Name names.
Don't stop now.

From her beautiful home,

she sends out her men to
collect the protection money.

Go on, name them.

Olga Camastra.
She's the one who's ruined me.

She's in with
NuZZo Marciano.

Cover me.

Shoot!

Get him to the car.
Quick!

Go!

Go away.

Go on, shoot.

Shoot!

Altofonte!

We must help him.

He's dead. Come away.

No, he's just fainted.

There's nothing more
we can do for him.

No! We must help him.

- Breda! What happened?
- Take care of him.

You okay?

I did it. It was me.

It's okay, he's just wounded.

Come on... Let's go.

I killed him.

I did it.

No, he's just wounded.

Altofonte didn't make it.

Granchio's daughter Sara
was with them.

Sara? Are you sure?

Yes, I got a good look at her.

She could have shot me,
but she didn't.

I don't know why.

You needn't have come.
I'm fine.

You could have
got yourself killed.

- Someone did get killed.
- Oh, yes...

That poor retailer.
What was his name?

Why don't you ask Olga?
She knows.

I heard what he said.

But you mustn't overdo it.

I n the market place
the weak are victimised.

- That's business.
- Business!

Then I'll never be
a businessman.

Dad, why did you give Olga
control of our estate?

There are many things
you don't know.

- Olga's done a lot for us.
- Sure, dirty deals in our name!

I'm sorry, Dad.

I didn't mean to say that.

I don't expect you
to love her.

But at least respect her...

because I love her.

I'm sorry, Dad...

but I'll continue to say
what I think.

I'm sorry, but you have
to have an X-ray now.

Come on.

For your radio.

Continue...

to say...

what you think.

Please give this to
Daniele Rannisi.

Certainly.

Ready, boys?
We're the first.

Remember to get
a close-up of her face.

Excuse me, madam,
I'm Lucio Panarea from Diana TV.

- What's happened?
- The whole city feels for you.

You've got the wrong person.

There's been an accident.
Your husband...

My husband?

What's happened to him?

Madam...

Be strong, madam.

He's in hospital.

He's dead, isn't he?

He's dead!

What do you feel right now?

Get out!

- We're doing our job.
- This is too much.

- Don't touch me.
- Leave now.

- We have a duty to...
- Get out!

Did you get it all?
Good.

You can't question me.
I have to stay in hospital.

Sit.

- How old are you?
- Twenty.

Do you have parents?
A girlfriend?

- Are we still at school?
- Answer me!

Sure, I have parents
and a girlfriend.

- Do they know about you?
- Know what?

- You'll get life for this.
- Are you craZy?

- I haven't killed anyone.
- Really? Altofonte's dead.

So? I was lying wounded.
You know that.

What about Granchio,
Marcella Rodio and little Nino?

Your gang killed them.

No, it wasn't us.

Who then? It's a war
over protection money.

We're not involved and it
isn't over protection money.

Then what's it about?

The charge is murder.
Take him away.

Wait! I'm not involved
in the kid's death. I swear!

Who killed him?

It was Sara.
Sara Granchio.

Careful of what you say.

She did it
to punish NuZZo

for killing
her father and her fianc�.

She's ruined us all.

It seems deserted.

They've left.

He's gone. If we'd got here
five minutes earlier...

A tip-off.

Issue a nationwide warrant
for Marciano.

I loved my husband.

We had a home, a job
and healthy children.

But when you're too happy,
the devil sends you grief.

Why had your husband
fled to Germany?

He and the others had done
important people a favour.

- What sort of favour?
- A big favour.

He said our life
would change completely.

But important people
don't like having debts.

They came one summer night.

They killed his friends.

He ran away
and I never saw him again.

Who are
these important people?

- I swear I don't know.
- NuZZo Marciano maybe?

No, NuZZo was
Rosario's friend.

He kept us
while Rosario was away.

Come on!

I receive monthly payments
at the Due Mari Bank.

Then why would Sara
kill NuZZo's son?

Because she knew
NuZZo killed her father.

And because she knew

that you had taken money
from NuZZo for years.

She knew her father's killers
were supporting you.

Sara's gone mad.
She isn't my daughter.

She's also ruined
her brother.

Poor Sara.

Let's go.

Find Sara...
Please help her.

Don NuZZo is coming.

Now we'll see.

He won't like this one bit.

He can tell Sarcone.

What's going on?
What do you want?

Your job is
to mind the goats.

It's your fault. Don Aragonese
asked you for a favour.

- I'm sure Saverio isn't here.
- Maybe you're too busy to look.

So Don Aragonese,
who's fond of you, said

"Sarcone, help him search
the depot

"and send him to me."

Tell him I'll go as soon
as I can.

The police are after me.

They could follow me
to Don Aragonese.

Don Aragonese
won't like that.

I refused to go to Aragonese,
as we agreed.

Now he'll know
I'm a traitor.

Listen, pal,
what's in there?

Hospital equipment
for the Croce del Sud.

That ship is better equipped
than the Palermo hospital.

Yes?

Are you sure?

That bastard, Aragonese,
is escaping with the money.

He's leaving on
the Croce del Sud.

He's afraid we'll take his load
as it leaves the depot.

So he'll try to kill us.

He'll try to get to you
through someone you trust.

Soon a friend will offer

to arrange a reconciliation
meeting with him.

A traitor?

- Where are you from?
- From far away.

Where, exactly?

Russia.

- Is this your home?
- Yes...

It's my home.

The key's gone.

He's taken it.

It's locked.

No one must know you're here.
Don't call her.

What do we do now?

- Break a window?
- No, he isn't here.

I'm sure he's
somewhere here in Sicily.

He won't come home.
It's too risky.

And we can't
stay here either.

And he didn't tell you
where he was going?

Or won't you tell me?
I must find him.

All I know is that
we'd better leave now.

There's only one person
we can turn to.

We have to leave this house.

There. We're through
to the Due Mari Bank.

I can't access the memory.

It's protected by a program
I don't know.

Strange for a small bank.

So what do we do?

Man must be more intelligent
than computers.

- It's destroying everything.
- No...

It's a very common virus.

If the program weren't
protected, it would erase it.

But this one certainly is.
Look...

I've beaten it.

The computer
has identified the virus

and it's producing
a backup copy.

I can't access the memory
but I can steal the copy.

There... What did you
want to know?

All Giovanna Granchio's
account transactions.

Two million paid in each month.
Since when, can you see?

October '89.

It's printing.

When her husband fled Sicily.

But NuZZo Marciano
didn't pay it in.

The C A. RAN Group did.

The C A. RAN Group
built half the city.

Its director is Rannisi,
Camastra's husband.

But she calls the shots.

- What's her husband like?
- A gentleman, but a spendthrift.

- Camastra is the boss.
- Shall I summon her?

No. Let's start
with her husband.

Come on, Chiara, let's go.
They're ignoring us here.

Where else can we go?

I'm not moving
until we talk to that judge.

Oleg, I'm tired of hiding.

I want to know!

They tried to kill us
just like Rosario.

Saverio's disappeared.

He's in danger, or worse.

Only Judge Conti can help us.

Breda will bring him in
but it'll cause an uproar.

We'll have to tread softly.
Rannisi has heart trouble.

- It's her. Judge Conti!
- She's busy.

You'll have to wait.

How long?
When will she see me?

When she's finished.

I have to see her.
It's important.

What's important?

I knew this man.

Thanks.

Saverio never used to
tell me the full story...

but I understood him.

All his life
he tried to be somebody...

And soon after we married,
it seemed he'd succeeded.

He'd been promised
a brilliant career.

He was educated.

He knew about business,
politics...

Then something went wrong.

He came home
desperate and shaking.

He was out of his mind.

He said
"We have to leave now."

- Did you find out why?
- No.

He said he'd made a mistake
and had to pay for it.

I had to stay out of it.

Did you know
NuZZo Marciano?

- Was he threatening you?
- No, he helped us escape.

- He saved us.
- How did you get to Russia?

First we went to Germany
with Rosario Granchio.

They'd been like brothers
but now they always fought.

So we split up.

We kept changing cities,
always living in fear...

and ended up
in St Petersburg.

It seemed
we could finally stop,

but no, he couldn't...

because it was his head
that wouldn't stop.

He kept saying he'd return
to Sicily some day.

He used to read and study.

He had books and newspapers
sent from Italy.

Until this came.

Rosario murdered.

From then on,
life became a nightmare.

You know that NuZZo
is a mafioso?

No, I don't, but Saverio...

If he's done something bad,
he was forced to.

He just wanted to make
something of his life

and they ruined it.

Help him
or he'll get himself killed.

That's enough for today.
You must rest now.

- Have you somewhere to stay?
- My place.

Better not. It's dangerous.
We'll find somewhere.

Maybe they could stay
with me.

You'll be fine there.
He's a nice guy.

Countess...

I hope I haven't missed
our goddess of justice...

- Our anti-Mafia judge.
- She'll be here shortly.

May I have
your attention, please?

This precious statue
of the Virgin and Child

was donated by an ancestor
of mine over 300 years ago.

But a few years
after the donation,

fire ravaged the cathedral
that housed it

and damaged the statue.

So my family decided
to take it back

because the city that
had allowed it to burn

didn't deserve it.

Today, I will reverse
that decision.

What my husband
means to say

is that our dear mayor
will run for office again

and to show our complete
confidence in him

we will return this statue
to our city.

To our mayor.

This splendid gift
is a clear indication

of the cooperation
and mutual respect

between business
and the city.

What's going on, I nspector?

Judge Conti wants to see
Mr Rannisi...

He can help
with her inquiry.

What is this? Couldn't she
wait till tomorrow?

I'll call her.

- She did it on purpose.
- We have nothing to hide.

I'm sorry, but your presence
isn't required.

Only Mr Rannisi
has been summoned.

May I know why?

For information
about The C A. RAN Group.

You'd better stay here, Olga.

We can't desert our guests.

Very well.

All right, I'll come with you.

I'm sorry, Countess.

How long have you been
director of The C A. RAN Group?

A long time.

Like my father before me.

But I...

I've never followed
the business.

My wife sees to everything.

Do you know
Giovanna Granchio?

Your company
has supported her for years.

My client can't remember
every charity case.

Mrs Granchio's husband
was killed a few weeks ago

after years on the run.

Come now! The company
can't demand

an anti-Mafia certificate
from its charity cases.

No, don't get up.

I'd like to sit in
on this interview.

I'll send you
the transcript tomorrow.

I'd rather be present.

Payments to Mrs Granchio
began

just after her husband
disappeared.

It's almost like
reparation money

or silence money.

We have a document
signed by you. October '89.

I don't know...

I sign so many things.

- Who recommended them?
- I don't know.

I swear I don't know.

You don't know
NuZZo Marciano either?

He asked you to do it?

I don't know. He no longer
works for us.

- So you admit you know him.
- I'm sorry, but...

I don't...

I don't feel well.

I'm not involved
with the company.

But you're legally responsible.
Answer me.

With all due respect,
I object to these methods.

- My client has heart trouble.
- I just want an answer.

From your client,
not from you.

I swear I don't...

I think that will do.
Mr Rannisi isn't well.

- He's been most cooperative.
- Yes, but remain available.

Certainly. Thank you.

Thank you for coming
and deserting your guests.

Good night, sir.

If you interfere once more

I'll complain to
the Judiciary Board.

Now you listen to me.

We're honest here. You're not
the only depositary of justice.

I won't tolerate your offensive
attitude towards us all.

- I'm doing my job.
- You see evil everywhere.

Rannisi shouldn't be treated
like a mafioso.

- He'll be treated justly.
- I hope so.

Good night.

I've always done
what you wanted.

But that's enough!

I'm the one who's answerable.

That man has to go.

I mmediately!

Tonight, in fact.

C A. RAN has countless
properties.

Why should they check
just that one?

But if they find
Aragonese there

I'll go to jail.

But for me
you'd be there now!

I'm just asking you
to send him away.

I've always let you
use my name

for your business deals.

Unquestioningly.

Your name!

Your name!

I bought your name when
I saved you from bankruptcy.

Why do you think
I married you?

No, that isn't true.

It's not!

Stop being naive.
You've always known.

For years
I've kept you

and that parasite son
of yours.

Who's there?

Who's there?

It's me, Dad.

Were you there all the time?

Yes.

So you heard what she said.

But it isn't true.
I know it isn't true.

Maybe in the beginning

she married me for my name

but then...
some things you can't fake.

No, she loves me.

You know
where Aragonese is.

You're hiding him.

I told her
to get rid of him.

You heard me.

I won't accept
that responsibility any more.

What are you saying, Dad?

Aragonese means Mafia.

He's a murderer.

We must go to the judge.

The judge?

The judge?

You have to go to her.

If you don't, I will.

And I'll tell her everything.

You?

You want to report me?

You want to send me to jail?

Why?

I haven't done anything.

It was her, Olga.

She organised it all.

I'm innocent.

I found myself caught up.
What could I do?

I was frightened...

but I haven't killed anyone.

Promise you won't do it.

Daniele...

Promise me.

I'll ask him.

You're him, aren't you?

The guy from the radio.

Yes.

Since you started doing
programs on protection money,

the shop owners in this
street have stopped paying.

Yes, and it's thanks to you

and that poor Altofonte
who died.

We want to thank you
for what you're doing.

No, I'm afraid I'm not
what you think I am.

I've taken you for a ride.

You're listening
to Radio Tam Tam.

I'd like to play
some music, my friends,

but I can't.

They've broken my toy.

I don't know
if you can hear me.

But this is my last program,
so it doesn't matter.

I've duped you all along.

I played the hero
but it was just a game.

Rich boys all play
dangerous games.

They do 200 km an hour
with their lights off.

But speeding wasn't enough
for me.

But...

I've had enough.

I've just discovered
I have a family too.

And as you know,
the family is sacred.

You're right, Olga...

We're all accomplices.

What right have I
to accuse?

I'll do as you taught me.

I'll keep my mouth shut.

I'll mind my own business.

Like everyone else does.

Because everyone here
has something to hide.

Even if they've done nothing
to be ashamed of.

Sure I won't be recognised?

This will completely
disguise your voice.

Go on, try talking.

I've never talked
on radio before.

My name is
Mario Altofonte!

Keep going. Don't stop.
Tell them everything.

I accuse NuZZo Marciano
of years of extortion.

He took all I had
and made me his accomplice.

Can you hear me, Giulia?

- I was expecting you.
- I couldn't get to sleep.

I bambooZled
that poor Altofonte

with all my talk.

- I got him killed.
- They almost killed you too.

Yes... but you see,

at my age
it's just an exciting game.

It's doing what he did
that's difficult.

Having the courage
to spit out the filth.

- What have you to spit out?
- Nothing.

Nothing.

I've just realised
I'm nothing but a clown.

It was all so clear to me.

There were the goodies
and the baddies.

You just needed to be
on the right side.

But I was born
on the wrong side.

People should be respected
for the choices they make,

not for their background.

When the life of someone
you love is at stake...

When you know you'll
hurt them... Then what?

I had a husband

and we loved each other.

I was a judge, but I
thought my private life

could co-exist with
my professional life.

But then one day...

I met Corrado Cattani.

And I suddenly discovered
a different world.

And I realised that
that life wasn't for me.

So I left my husband...

who didn't oppose
our separation

because...

he respected me too much.

But then...

he did something
I'd never have expected.

He did something
as courageous

as it was rash.

He decided to denounce
a mafioso politician.

And that's why
they killed him.

Do you think
you pushed him to do it?

So he could prove to you
he was as good as Cattani?

I think that...

he wanted to show me
his love.

And that he approved
of my choice.

But I'm responsible
for his death.

Your husband is dead.

But the person
I'm thinking about

would suffer something
far worse.

Their life would be dragged
through the mud.

They would go to jail.

I know it would destroy them.

If this person loves you,

they've lost the most
important thing...

Your respect.

And perhaps...

suffering...

will help them regain it.

Only you can decide that.

Good night, Daniele.

Silvia, wait!

That person is my father.

I've sent Rocco
to sound out Sarcone's men.

Once he's gone
they'll come over to us.

They're professionals.

We just need to pay them
a bit more.

Okay, but remember

they'll send someone you trust
to betray you.

Villa Ramonte.

It's been closed since
Prof. Ramonte vanished.

Even before,
it was often empty.

You're right. No one
will look for us here.

Everything's fine, Don NuZZo.
The caretaker is one of us.

How long have you waited
for this moment?

The last time I was 15
and used the servants' door.

When I was a boy
I thought a king lived here.

I hated you because
you could come in here.

It's better not to enter heaven
if they won't let you stay.

But now you're here

and Ramonte is buried
somewhere in hiding.

It doesn't matter. I carry
his disease inside me.

I'd sneak into this library
as a child

and I'd read these books.

My parents couldn't afford
to keep me at school.

This house was empty
once Ramonte went to Rome.

But once he came back
and found me here.

A street kid with holes in
his shoes, holding a book.

I still remember it.
It was Marcus Aurelius.

He who owned half of Sicily,
instead of punishing me,

took my case to heart
and paid for my schooling.

He was your benefactor.

No, NuZZo. He led me to think
I could be someone.

But he just exploited me
and then threw me away.

All I have left is dreams.

There's no reason
to dream now.

You have things. This house
is ours, this town will be.

Do as I do. I never dream
at night. I sleep.

All done?

I saw Sarcone at
the Camastra depot.

He has a proposition for you.

What kind of proposition?

He said Don Aragonese
is old, sick and senile.

That you must talk and set
your differences aside.

That this town is big enough
for both of you.

Is that what he said?
Good for Sarcone.

And how can I trust him?

He'll meet you and me
at a place of your choice.

I'll vouch for everyone.

Tell him we accept.

We'll meet tomorrow night.

At the new greenhouses
on the autostrada.

Go.

I made Rocco what he is.

He was like a son to me.

Sons make the best traitors.

That's a deserted
tourist complex.

Get an overall shot,
then details of the houses.

Settle down, Black.
What's that noise?

Check it out and come back.

Go.

Get all those buildings
down there as well.

It was just a fire brigade
helicopter.

I don't like it.

Tell the men to hide

and to send
that damned doctor

with my injection.

They just look like ruins.

It was a tourist complex

built by C A. RAN in 1982
with an EC grant.

When funds ran out,
building stopped.

Can you do an enlargement?

Sure.

The house on the right.

No, there's nothing. How many
properties does C A. RAN own?

Wait, let me try something.

Well done.
That's a nice wall.

Yes, it's too nice.

Look at the other houses.
They're abandoned.

Water seepage
and moss everywhere.

But this one's perfect.

And look,
there are two garbage bags.

I'd say someone lives there.

Here we are.

What's the signal
for Sarcone?

Strange, that was the signal.

They must have forgotten it.
Let's take a look.

- What is it?
- Something's not right.

He isn't answering.

Didn't you organise
everything?

Go on, get out.

Go on.

Don Sarcone, it's us.

- Any problems, Turi?
- No problem at all.

Don't kill me. I'll serve you
better than before.

I won't kill you, Rocco.

You've killed yourself
with your own hands.

Don NuZZo, I beg you!

No, don't kill me.

Let's hurry.
We have a lot to do tonight.

They mustn't see us
too soon.

We'll stop a kilometre away
and surround the area.

At the signal we'll move.

I need Aragonese alive.
He's a mine of Mafia secrets.

Black!

Here.

Sarcone, where are you?

Bastards!

Where are you,
you bastards?

Where are you?

- Don Aragonese.
- Don't touch me, you pig.

You wanted to skip Sicily
with all the money.

And the Family could sink.

Do you want to save it?

I'm not alone.

Of course.
Traitors always go in pairs.

The jackal is too stupid
to act alone.

He needs the serpent.

What you said is right.

I've spent all these years
under a rock like a snake

waiting for you to lift it.

I wondered which poison
to use on your hand.

Now I know.

Remember?

One day my friends and I

had to do something
you asked us to do.

But as a reward
you only gave us death.

Because it was in
the Family's interest.

Today you'll get
what we got then.

What's that?

You must die a good death.

That's in the Family's interest.

Remember years ago

when Prefect Mori decided
to destroy the Mafia?

He had many killed

and the rest were interned
on the islands.

The Mafia bosses knew
that their only hope

was to make believe
the Mafia was dead.

So the State
forgot about them

while they were making it
even stronger.

You're the Mafia here.

If you take your life,

it will be seen
as the end of your Family.

And they'll forget about
this town.

Why should I
do you this favour?

Because you'll die
a king's death.

Kings aren't killed like dogs.

You're afraid to touch
my blood.

You've always been
a wimp, Saverio.

Even then you didn't like it,
but you didn't refuse.

You shot Cattani
in order to get ahead.

Did you vomit afterwards
or did you go to confession?

Take your hands off me.
I can manage.

Goodbye, Don Aragonese.

Beware of him.

He doesn't sin with
his hands,

he sins with his brain.

And how do you know
what's in there?

Now he's getting back at me,
but he won't stop there.

Then it'll be your turn.

Clean up here. Burn the lot,
starting with the grotto.

- And Don Aragonese?
- Leave him.

- The State can bury the Mafia.
- Our man at Police HQ.

It's NuZZo. Go ahead.

What?

Forget it.
Let's get out now.

It looks like suicide

but we'll have to wait
for the autopsy.

- Where are Aragonese's men?
- The choppers scared them off.

He killed himself
to avoid being captured.

This is the end of an era
in our town.

Take this place apart.

Something strange
has happened here.

Mr Rannisi, look this way.

Is it true Aragonese was
found on your property?

- Were you hiding him?
- Give us a statement.

Countess... did you expect
your husband's arrest?

We're being persecuted.
My husband is an honest man.

But Aragonese was
on your property.

The property was abandoned.
How could my husband know?

So you believe the judge
is prejudiced against you.

I say one thing...

Why were you journalists
told of this before we were?

My husband wasn't even
spared this humiliation.

There's something very ugly
behind this persecution.

Personal grudges

and perhaps even
matters of inheritance.

Thank you.

Are you referring to
Daniele Rannisi?

Mafia dead.
Boss suicides.

Get out the lollies.
She has to taste them too.

No.

Come on. Won't you drink
to that shit Aragonese?

And to the city
he's left us?

You're a fool.

Who do you think you are?
You're nobodies.

- You're just thugs.
- I've had enough of you.

Lucky you're my sister.

I saved you going to jail
for killing that kid.

You keep quiet.
Leave it all to me.

This warrant
is unjustified.

There's no proof
my client knew

those mafiosi
were on his property.

There is proof.

A witness who states
he heard Mr Rannisi

discuss Aragonese's presence
on his property.

Who could possibly have heard
such a thing?

I'm sorry.

That boy resents his family.
He isn't a reliable witness.

That's enough!
Yes, I'll sign a confession.

I'll tell you everything.
But now I'd like to...

I want to go back to jail.
I don't feel well.

- Call a doctor.
- Quick, a doctor!

Dad, forgive me.

I've ruined you.
Forgive me.

Thank you.

How far is this hospital?

- Is my husband here?
- Yes.

I suppose you're satisfied.

- How is he?
- He's pulled through.

- It was a serious coronary.
- May I see him?

No. Maybe this evening.

I'm afraid your husband
is still under arrest.

You'll need permission
to see him.

Will he also need
permission to die?

Don't worry. It'll be fine.

You did the right thing.

- Breda here.
- It's Livoti. Go ahead.

Tell Silvia
Rannisi's pulled through.

Okay. See you later.

Put your hands on
the wheel.

- What do you want?
- I nformation about NuZZo.

We know you killed his son.

- Why did you do it, Sara?
- Why?

NuZZo killed
my father and Antonio,

but I don't know who
ordered his death or why.

That's why I'm here.

You must tell me
who turned me into a killer.

I didn't mean
to kill that little boy.

Your father and his friends

had done a favour
for very important people.

Before dying, he told me
he knew a secret.

An earth-shattering
secret.

That's why he was killed.
But I don't know the secret.

Liar! I'll kill you.

If I knew, I'd tell you

because you have a right
to know.

But I don't know.

Goodbye, I nspector.

Wait!

I can help you.
But you must come with me.

You want me in jail?

I experience far worse
than jail every day.

So what will you do?

Do you want to become
like NuZZo?

What can I do? Maybe that's
what happened to Dad.

He made a mistake
and couldn't go back.

So why didn't you kill me
when you could?

Italy has struck the Mafia
a deadly blow.

One of its bosses,
gravely ill,

was hiding
on an estate of Mr Rannisi,

a well-known Sicilian
entrepreneur.

Here is our report.

Countess, it's me.
Activate the scrambler.

What are you going to do?

His death changes nothing.
Reassure your partners.

And your husband's arrest?
Conti will make him talk.

He knows very little
about our deal.

He knows about the ship.

We can't risk it.
We must stop now.

Stopping now would be
even more dangerous.

The ship has just docked.
The load will leave tomorrow.

That still leaves
your husband.

Remember your
commitments.

We've given you
50,000 billion.

You'll answer
if anything goes wrong.

Understand?

Yes, I understand.

No. You can't ask me
to do such a thing.

Have you forgotten
how you got your job?

You got all you requested.
Now it's payback time.

You're an excellent doctor.

I'm sure you'll find
a solution.

For your own good
and everyone else's.

I'm sorry, but my orders
are to stay on guard.

That's all right.

How are you?

I'm glad you came.

I wanted to talk to you.

I've made a decision.

I'll cooperate with
the judge.

But I'll try to keep you
out of it.

I can't do otherwise.

My life
wasn't worth living.

I'll shoulder all
the responsibility.

I promise you.

It's my fault.

All those things
I said to you at home...

They weren't true.

My life with you...

wasn't a whirlwind
of passion,

but you've been...

the best of husbands.

I'm here to ask
your forgiveness...

although I may not
deserve it.

I have nothing
to forgive you for.

My years with you
have been happy ones.

And there will be more.

I...

I've spoken to Daniele.

We sorted things out.

And you must sort things out
with him too.

Promise me.

Yes, I promise, Aldo.

Excuse me, Countess.
Your time is up.

- Madam, aren't you well?
- It's nothing.

A doctor, quick!

Here's the son.

- A question, Daniele.
- Did you report your father?

Let me through.
I'm Daniele Rannisi.

Happy now?

You've got what you wanted.

You did it!
It was you, damn you!

My lawyer will file a statement
against Silvia Conti

regarding her responsibility
for my husband's death.

He had decided to cooperate.
I certainly didn't kill him.

Please, I'd like to be
alone with him.

At least now.

She's right.
Let us go, Judge.

Not now.

By tomorrow I want a report
on Rannisi's detention.

And I want an autopsy.

He was about to talk, but died
after talking to his wife.

On my table by tomorrow.

Any remorse
over Rannisi's death?

Stand back!

It's me.
Have the trucks left?

Yes, Countess,
they just left the warehouse.

- Reply to the signal.
- Those weren't Sarcone's orders.

Sarcone's dead.
Get it?

He's gone.

Signal back.

- Follow that car.
- The jetty's over there.

We're not going to the jetty.
Follow that car.

It's no use. There's no one
left in the warehouse.

What are you going to do,
Countess? Kill me?

Then who'll tell you
where the money is?

Where is it, you scum?

Someone in that car
wants to talk to you.

Don't worry, Countess.
We won't harm you.

Good evening, Countess.

You're Saverio!

You're back.

I should have known
that brute couldn't act alone.

- Where's the money?
- You'll do as I say.

You have no choice.

What will your partners do

when they realise
you've lost their money?

What do you want?

I want a list of all those
in on this deal...

The owners
of the 50,000 billion.

Arrange a meeting.

They'll never agree,
unless you return the money.

I n that case,
they'll lose the lot.

Do as I said.

Good night, Countess.
