Milan Police Headquarters

Good morning,
I'm Agent Maurizio Trevi.

- I need to speak to Captain Cattani
- May I see your ID?

Yes. Just a minute.

Here it is.

Thanks. Go through.

- Are you the new one?
- Yes. I have my security pass here.

- I have to speak to Captain Cattani.
- Hop in, I'll take you.

- Is the Captain here?
- Yes.

- Do you have a gun?
-A gun? No.

Here.

I just want to speak to the
Captain about the transfer.

You will see him now. Come on.

- You're a little late!
- They only gave me the car

an hour ago. He's the new guy.

Oh, you've come back.
It's about time!

Shush!

Quiet! Not even a breath!

Open the door!

There, that's the Captain.

Where are they?

Come on, talk, you pig!
Where are they?

- I don't know anything!
- Where are they?

I don't know who you're looking for!
What do you want from me?

- I don't know anything!
- Where are they hidden? Tell me!

Tell me, you psycho!

- Talk!
- What do you want to do to me?

Where have you put them?
Hurry up and tell me!

Leave me alone!
I'll tell you... they're over there!

There is a door underneath! Stop!

- There's a room over there!
- Where?

Under there! Behind the trap door!

Oh, God!

Come on, climb up.

Go!

Come on.

Look at this, Captain.

Heroin!

Oh God!

So, you get kids to sell this stuff?

Is that how people
make a living today?

Yes.

- Where did you get them from?
- I don't know, they were sold to me.

- Sold? How much did you pay?
- A million! A million.

What's your name?

His name is Kedir and I'm Michele.

Kedir and Michele.

Hi.

And how old are you?

Five.

Like this...

THE OCTOPUS 4

Part One

I'm very honored. Thank you.

Your bank's initiative is admirable.
I'll tell the minister about it.

We must pass a law that forces
public entities to do the same thing.

For every billion invested...

ten million should go to the
revaluation of our artistic heritage.

- Don't you think?
- Of course.

Here, look at this, Senator.

The thing I care about most
is my new computer center.

Right now, the bank is connected
24 hours a day to all of the

financial markets in the world.

- Are you waiting for someone?
- Someone whom I haven't met yet,

- but whom I want to meet.
- A woman, I'm guessing?

No, Mr. Rasi. President of
International Insurance Securities.

You'll have to accept
that he's not coming.

- How do you know?
- That's his daughter, Ester.

The apple of his eye.

He didn't want to be rude,
so he sent her.

- Hi!
- How are you?

What's a beauty like you doing here?

I'm very upset with you. Every time
I go to your casino, I always lose.

You have to lose! Otherwise,
what is the point of having a casino?

May I have the honor?

Of course. Ester,
this is Mr. Cariddi, our host.

- Pleasure to meet you.
- Likewise.

Sorry my father didn't come.

He sends his apologies.
He just couldn't make it.

Not to worry.

To tell you the truth, he was free.

He doesn't really like
these sorts of situations.

I enjoy going to the casino.

Time seems to fly in there and
when you leave it's already morning.

You...

-You are...
- Yes, I am... Accidduzzu.

I have returned.

There are a few Lebanese
and Yugoslavian children

but most of them are Italian.

There's an incredible
gangster ring here.

I'll come see you in a few days.
I need to speak to you.

What about?

Next time. I have to do something
about the children now.

Listen, why don't you send them to
Villa Celeste? Just for a while.

- Yes, I was actually thinking of that.
- Goodbye.

Captain, there's a
call from Headquarters.

Attention all cars! Attention
all cars! Go to the Antinari Bank.

There has been a homicide.
Beware, there is an armed man.

- I repeat, the Antinari Bank.
- Gonzales, let's go.

Come this way.

He's still in the room at the end
of the corridor. He has not moved.

Keep him within range, but don't shoot.

No, wait, Captain!
He could be dangerous.

- Nothing.
- Take him away.

It's me. Put the
anti-phone tapping device on.

They have killed Tindari.

Yes, not long ago.
He was a scruffy looking Sicilian.

He called himself "Accidduzzu.”

- Who was it?
- It was Tano.

Someone shut Tindari up, forever.

- Who did it?
- His real name is not known,

but before he shot him,
he said, "Accidduzzu."

What is the importance
of a real name?

In all my life on this Earth,
I've been called a million names.

The Big Fish, The Lion,
The Puppeteer.

Some have even called me
Pigeon Foot...

because of this bum leg I drag around.

The shot gun destroyed
all the bone in my leg.

But a short time after,
the ones who did it

ended up in an acid bath.

After four weeks
my leg, which was full of holes,

mangled and all in pieces,
was still there.

But their bones had disintegrated.

But I never really liked killing people.

It happened because
someone was rude to me.

They lacked respect.

Or even betrayed me.

This Accidduzzu

has to disappear
from the face of the Earth.

He has at least eight bullets
in his body, two in his heart.

You were present at the time.
Can you tell me what happened?

He came out of the blue and shot.

I should shake your hand.

I'm Senator Salimbeni.

Your courage, and let's say
selflessness, aren't easy to forget.

Thank you.

I imagine you intend on
keeping us here. All of us.

Of course, everyone.
It's the usual procedure.

- We have to investigate.
- Perfect. Per... fect!

If everyone went about their work like
you do our country wouldn't be like this

Like this? How?

You understood me
perfectly well, Captain. Corruption,

a lack of morals, the crime rate.

If ever you are in Rome,
come and see me

- if you need anything.
- Thanks, but I don't need anything.

- You never know.
- Excuse me.

Captain.

The lady and gentleman
were witnesses to the crime.

They were speaking to the victim.

Good evening, Captain.

Wherever you go,
there's always blood around.

I could say the same about you,
Cattani.

Who was it?

One of my bank clients.
His name was Tindari.

- And the man who shot him?
- I didn't invite him.

I don't know him.

And you?

- What did you see?
- Me?

I don't know.
We were talking... we were talking.

At some point, that man came along
and they looked at each other.

Then... he just started shooting.
He was shooting and staring at him.

OK. Come here,
have something to drink.

Did they speak to each other?

What I mean is...

did it look like they knew each other?

Yes. The man with the gun said,

"Yes, it's me. I'm Accidduzzu."

- Are you sure of it?
- Yes, these were his words.

"I'm Accidduzzu.”
But I don't know what it means.

I know. It's Sicilian dialect.

It means 'birdy.'

Can you get me out of here, Captain?

I can't look at the mirrors anymore.

I'll lose my sight.

What's your name?

May I come in?

Who are you? Who let you in?
Go back out with the others!

- You have misunderstood.
- I have no intentions of

discussing it with you!

Well, I'm afraid you will have to.

I'm the Assistant District Attorney,
Silvia Conti.

Giugni, show this man
to the next room.

No, he can stay.

He doesn't like the mirrors.
He asked not to stay here.

If you don't mind,
I'd like to hear it from him.

Please leave, Captain.

- Captain, let me introduce myself.
- Did you find Tindari's address?

Yes, Captain, here it is.

I'll go there.

Don't worry about condolences.

He built this museum around me
but I was always the servant.

- What was your husband involved in?
- Money!

His eyes would twinkle when he
mentioned it. Money and business.

Can you think of anyone
who might have wanted him dead?

Yes. Of course I can.

It could have been a jealous husband.

He liked other men's wives
and he would boast about it.

We caught the man who shot him.
He has a nickname, "Accidduzzu."

- Do you know him?
- Me?

No, no, I don't think so.

I'm sure of it.

- What does it say?
- Just a second.

How do you know
how to work this thing?

I'm studying electronics.

- So, why are you in the police?
- I need to work.

We've got it.

Just another second to finish printing.

Here is everything on Tindari.

He has been tried twice for fraud
and for fraudulent bankruptcy.

But he always
managed to get away with it.

He had a company with
the name SETIP.

He is a stockholder of the
"Racing New" racetrack.

Then he buys most
of the shares of the new casino.

What about the
file of the guy who shot him?

I'm waiting for the records.

It holds all of Italy's crimes inside it.

- I wish.
- Well, almost all of them.

Here we are.

Nothing. He's clean.

Why are you so
determined not to say anything?

It's pointless. Sooner or later
we're going to know who you are.

I really don't get it. Your
attitude is completely illogical.

Your silence is absurd.

Don't you realize?

Excuse me.

Here.

Tindari's wife knows you.

She didn't want to admit it
but I worked it out.

- You questioned the victim's wife?
- Yes. I went there to tell her...

You made a big mistake, Captain.
That was my job.

- So why didn't you?
- I would have done it tomorrow.

Tomorrow, she would have already
read the papers and been on guard.

I'm sorry, Captain. Unfortunately,
I can't be in two places at once.

So, you should
thank me rather than insult me!

Captain, listen.
Since we have to work together,

it would be best if we just got along.

Rule number one. Don't
take your own initiatives please.

Second. Try not to interrupt
when I'm questioning someone.

If you can't, at least
have the courtesy to knock.

Third. Don't question
the accused when

they are giving their declaration.

Actually, to me it seems like the
accused has not said a word.

That's enough for today.
Take him back to his cell.

"Giulia Antinari falls in the sea
and dies off the coast of Nassau. "

- You enter like a thief.
- I thought you were sleeping.

Do you have problems?

I have a story with no heads or tails,
and a Captain who doesn't

abide by the rules.
What could be worse?

A seat in the Senate. I've been
there a month and I still have

no idea what I'm meant to be doing.

Now it looks like they
have assigned me to

the organized crime commission.

- Who knows why?
- Maybe because the men in science

are honest.

And often weak.

I don't know why you got involved
if you don't like politics.

You could have
stayed at the university.

It is for the same reason I have
studied ants for all these years...

because I'm an
expert on complex societies.

Even in the ant's nest,
there are roles and functions.

There's even an organism which is
formed by lots of individuals.

- Are there criminals, too?
- Oh, of course!

And they are very cruel.

However, I have never seen judges.

Obviously, they are not needed.

Don't look at me like that. I'm horrible.

You are beautiful.

Aren't you sick of me yet?

When I'm with you, I'm at peace.
I have everything.

But you don't have a child.

Maybe nature is being wise.

I don't like these discussions.

Ulysses! How are you?

Where did you get to?

Are you hungry?

You are always hungry.

Come on, let's go and eat!

Yes, it's coming.

I'm coming.

Here.

He has at least eight bullets
in his body. Two in his heart.

Eight bullets.

Eight bullets.

Go.

When you pointed the gun at me
today, you didn't want to kill me

because your gun was empty.
I could have killed you, though.

I wish you had.

Then why didn't you do it?

You are a man who wants to die
and I want to find out why.

You can see the clouds tonight.

That one there looks like an eagle.

You can see the wings and its beak.

Did you know that every
important day has its own cloud?

For me, today was
the day of the eagle.

I don't understand you.

The birdy became strong today.

He found courage.

From a little bird, he found his claws.

What did Tindari do to you?

Tell me.

Maybe I can help you.

There's no point now.

We should have met many years ago

in Sicily.

Can you tell me your name?

Your real name.

My name is Frolo.

Salvatore Frolo.

It is difficult, we know too little.

We have sent an image down to Sicily,

but it will take some
time to verify who that man is.

Yes, I know. But it's like
finding a needle in a haystack.

Change it. Keep going.

Weren't we meant to be alone?

Salvo is family.

He is my arms and my legs.

I've been in here for years.

There are judges from all over the
world who want to take me to court:

Italians, Americans.

I stay home while he goes
traveling around the world. True?

In a little while he will come to Milan,

to follow the family's business...
the business of all the families.

And to stay close to you.

- To control me?
- That, too.

You are still young, Tano.

If you are a runner
who is going to catch you?

I have no intention of running.

Everyone wants to.

Men are like birds,
they don't like their cages.

Sooner or later, you will also
want to escape. I'm sure of it.

But you can't because you are ours.

I never signed any agreements.
And I don't belong to a family.

Actually,
you belong to all the families.

You belong to the Mafia high
command! And I'm responsible

for your actions.
If you mess up, I pay for it.

- Have I made any mistakes yet?
- No.

But now it's time to quit the mysteries.

Recently,
through Tindari, we have been

sending you suggestions
on how to invest our money.

And all you have said is:
"Stop," "Wait."

Wait for what?

That was the amount
the families decided to invest.

Five billion.

It's a sin, Tano,
to let all that money rot.

So now you have to decide.

- I have already decided.
- So tell me.

I have an extraordinary plan for you.

Enough of fighting with guns
and shedding blood.

These days, the road for criminality
is by legalizing it.

You see, in the world of money,
a revolution has happened.

And you know who started it?
The little guy who saves his money.

A river of billions has entered the
market. And the pond has turned into

an ocean, full of schools of fish who
end up in the nets of

large financial groups.

Here is what I will do for you.

This is my plan of attack:

I'll take charge
of a huge financial empire.

In fact, the biggest.
International Insurance Securities.

Then in 1992,
when the European Market opens,

and the big guys collapse,
you will have control of

the entire continent!

That is no concern for us.

You have five billion! Let me do it.

I will multiply that money by
five, ten, a hundred times!

I'll give the Italian finance such
a blow. Nothing will be the same.

It will be like going from
the Old to the New Testament.

And you'll not only have the
money, but the control, too.

- Who'll guarantee you can do it?
- I didn't ask your opinion, Salvo!

I ask the questions around here.

To do what you're proposing,
what will you need?

I want more than my eleven percent,
I want the shares that

the Antinari Bank holds.

- But that's my concern.
- And how will you do it?

I've asked to become guardian for
young Greta Antinari. In few days, the

Court for Minors will give their ruling.

What will you do to the little girl?

Is she going to end up
like her sister... drowned?

I'm not like you people.
I did not kill Giulia. It was an accident.

- I was not on that boat!
- OK, Tano, don't fire up. Keep going.

I need to get past the
first hurdle. Yfter, the Turk.

We will sort that out.

- Nothing else?
- Nothing else.

You go for the big guns, don't you?
Really big guns!

So do.

OK. Go and buy
International Insurance Securities.

When this project of yours is finished,

provided it goes through...

what would you like in return?

I want two things...
all of the Antinari Bank,

and never to see you all again.

You will get both of them.

I think we have found
what we were looking for!

Have a look.

"A young man in Sicily
disappeared. Where has

Salvatore Frolo ended up? "

I can't read the journalist's name.

Let's enlarge it.

Davide Faeti.

At the newspaper you worked for,
they told us that Davide Faeti

is just a pseudonym.
What is your real name?

Tell me what you want.

I read your articles
from when you were in Sicily.

They were very courageous.

For a lot less,
some people have been silenced.

So you've come
here to pay me compliments?

Why have you ended up
here in the north?

And you?

Do you know at the newspaper, we
called you "the dead man walking"?

Before I left the newspaper,
I wrote your swan song.

One of those articles we
keep ready for when the hero dies.

- I should still have it somewhere...
- That's a nice little gift.

Anyway, you cannot dispute
that a bullet between the eyes

would have been a masterpiece,
from a journalistic point of view.

Well, all the better for you. What do
you deal with now? Bag-snatchers?

I'm dealing with Salvatore Frolo.

Eighteen years ago

you wrote an article about his
disappearance. But no other

newspaper wrote about it, and
you never followed it up either.

Why?

It was local stuff that didn't
interest anyone. You wouldn't

imagine how many Frolos I wrote
about back then. If they didn't

exist, I would have
made them up. I needed to eat.

- How many lines was that article?
- Twenty or so.

Frolo meant a meal,
but without dessert.

What are twenty lines
worth these days?

If I wanted to, I could book
a whole restaurant just for me.

- Who gave you the lead for the story?
- A judge from my city.

His name was Fiorani.

- A half-wit, always against everybody.
- Where can I find him?

At the cemetery.
An ambush of the Mafia.

When?

About 18 years ago.

Just after Frolo's disappearance!
I can see you know a lot, but

- you don't want to tell me. Why?
- Now I have had enough!

I wrote about everything I knew.
It's all in the past now. I'm doing a

- different type of journalism now.
- Sure!

- Do you consider this journalism?
- Do you want to judge me?

Do you want to tell me I'm crap?
Well, you are a little late!

I tell myself every morning when
I have a shave! Leave me in peace!

- Excuse me, can I speak to you?
- Who authorized you to see Frolo?

Well, given the result, I think
it was worth it. You couldn't even

- get his name out of him.
- At least I follow orders!

Are you afraid of getting
your hands dirty?

I'm scared of making mistakes!

If you don't take risks
you never make mistakes!

Stop trying to create confusion.
I need peace.

Your peace will
never get you anywhere.

Nor will your anger!

And with the latest news we end
our segment on politics.

Some disconcerting
news has just arrived.

Arms trafficker, Kemal Yfter,
escaped from a Sicilian prison

this morning. He was helped by
many accomplices in a helicopter

stolen from the Red Cross.

As you may remember, Yfter,
was arrested two years ago

thanks to the brilliant
operation led by Captain Cattani.

He was subsequently
tried and convicted.

The car just passed.

The chair.

Here.

Who are you?
What do you want from me?

I will do the talking!

You just sit and listen.

- You have to get out of Italy.
- Me?

- Why?
- Tell him why, Salvo.

We need your International
Insurance Securities stock portfolio.

You are all crazy!

- That's worth billions!
- It's worth your life.

It is said that two percent of
your shares are in Switzerland.

Good.

Salvo will come with you...

and you will sign your shares
over to the Antinari Bank.

I'm not signing anything! Understand?

I'm not signing anything!

So, do you want
to do business or not?

Let him go.

The stick.

Give it to me.

Now go away! Get lost!

But be careful! This time you made
a mistake and we forgave you!

But next time, if you try to lift
a finger, we will give it to you!

And then we will
bring you back here to Sicily,

and use you as fertilizer!

- Is the screen blank now?
- What?

- Is the screen blank?
- Yes, yes, it's on.

Finally.

- What have you been doing all
morning?

I'm doing the lottery.

Horse bets, soccer bets,
I've been doing them all

for the last 35 years.

Have you ever won?

Never.

Lets see...

fifty million Italians, for two columns,

for fifty-two weeks,
for thirty-five years,

with the odds
clearly stacked against you...

a variable of

fifteen.

You have a good chance
of winning. Keep trying!

Really?

Come in! Good morning, Judge.

- Is the Captain here?
- Yes, he is over there.

- What does it say?
- There's an 84 percent

chance you could win in the
next six months.

I can sense it!

Something is going to happen!

Do you know Tano Cariddi,
Director of the Antinari Bank?

- Yes.
- What type of man is he?

He is a criminal.

Well, Mr. Cariddi came out of
the trial in Sicily rather well.

Actually,
I'm not referring to the trial.

I'm referring to Giulia Antinari's death.
He ordered her killing.

But it was actually an accident.
All the newspapers wrote about it.

- No, it was he!
- I don't want your personal opinion.

If you have something real
to say, then say it. Otherwise...

Why does he interest you so much?
What I mean is, what's Tano Cariddi

have to do with the Court for Minors?

He wants to be guardian
for young Greta Antinari.

- But Greta is in America.
- No, not anymore.

She'll arrive in Milan tomorrow.

Don't you understand that he
only wants Greta for her money!

Yes, that's all!
He wants to be guardian so that

the bank will be all his.
You cannot allow this to happen!

Until now, Mr. Cariddi has
managed the Antinari estate in

an exemplary manner.

In only two years, the bank has
managed to pay off all their debts.

It was completely restructured.
Today it is one of the wealthiest

private banks in this country.

You must know that
Greta received huge dividends.

Yes, I know.

But you must not grant him
guardianship. That man is dangerous!

Give me a reason.

I'm here to listen,
give me one piece of evidence.

That man...

he knew everything
and Mr. Antinari trusted him.

He was close to him,
right up until his death.

Somehow, he got himself
eleven percent of the bank.

Then at that point, he only had
two obstacles: Giulia and Greta!

He already got rid of Giulia,

now all that is left is young Greta!

He is not a man, but a monster!

I understand.

I made a mistake coming here.

You have something
personal against Tano Cariddi.

You... were in love with Giulia,
weren't you?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Captain, but
you are not a reliable witness.

- May I help you?
- I want to see Greta.

I'm under orders to not let you through.

- Orders from whom?
- From Tano.

No, Captain, don't cause trouble.
You cannot...

Who are you?

Greta...

Greta...

Greta... it's me.

It's me, Corrado.
Do you remember me?

Greta... it's me, Corrado.

Say something.

What have they done to you, my love?

What did you expect to find?

A torture cell?

Don't come any closer!
I don't want you to touch her!

You are crazy.

Listen, Greta...

it's impossible you don't
remember me. I'm Corrado.

Don't you remember Corrado?

I'm begging you, say something.
Just say something.

Corrado...

Corrado...

- Corrado!
- Sweetheart! Come on.

Come with me.

I'll take you to bed.

There.

You remember!

Go ahead with all your schemes,

take all her money. But I'm
warning you, don't try touching her!

If you put a hair out of place,
I'll put a bullet in your head!

Vicenzino, you have to stay still!

This is something serious.

It's something you will
carry with you to show everyone.

They might say, "My goodness,
look how ugly Vicenzino is.”

Stay still, don't move.

Vincenzi, you look great!

There, all done!

- Where am |77
- You're coming, don't worry.

And if anyone asks who you are,
where you live,

just show it to them. Understand?

Here, take it.
Never forget it. Next please.

Over here.

I was actually looking for you.

You have really
given me a lovely present.

Why?

Because you
sent me ten little angels.

Who are you?

Oh, this is you.

- Here.
- Thank you.

- Have you finished?
- No.

- I still have to do the face.
- Good boy, do the face.

- Do you need the red?
- No, I want black.

Black?

Hold on, kid.
Try putting some blue here.

It will be better.

Here is the black.

You didn't mix it well.
There, now it should stick.

Will you be OK minding
them here for a while?

Ten or twenty. It is the
same thing, with God's help!

So does God still love you?
Even if you are not in the usual attire?

I couldn't stay at the convent
anymore. I missed seeing people.

At the Holy Orders they said
that I could serve God like this.

Look, you forgot this bit.
Besides, I'm closer to you here.

Who knows how much mischief
you would cause on your own.

Greta is back.

Tano has asked to be her guardian.

- Now what are we doing?
- Keep going... paint another statue.

He wants control of the bank's shares.

What can we do?

Nothing.

It's all red!

SOCIETY OF SWISS BANKS

This is the last one.

Thanks.

What are you going to do with them?

What do you have in mind?

What's wrong, Tano?
What's worrying you?

Are we sure that Yfter
isn't going to screw us over?

And who was it that killed Tindari?
Who sent him?

Don't think about it. Right now,
you should only be thinking

about money.

Money and that's all!
And you have to multiply it!

We will worry about the other things.

Dear Tano, the world is square...

and sometimes
corners must be removed.

Slowly, slowly, with patience.

Be careful and
don't make any hasty moves.

It could be dangerous now.

My brother says that when we walk,
the cicadas must not be heard.

But I said to him,
"If you want a good night's sleep,

one gun shot is
enough to shut them up.”

- So this means that...
- If Yfter opens his mouth,

we will close his eyes,
and he knows it.

Anyway, this doesn't concern you.

When the time is right,
the money will arrive. In the meantime,

prepare your attack on the King.
Who is the King you want to attack?

What's his name?

You give me five and I'll turn it into 50.

Why should you care about
the King, the Queen and the Knights?

I'm the one playing chess.

Is it too hard to stay at home?

- Did you come to see me?
- No, I'm here to see your father.

- Do you have an appointment?
- No.

Do you know how long we have
lived in this house? Nearly 20 years.

That's how old I am.
My father bought it to celebrate.

In 20 years, I've never seen
anyone who wanted to talk about

- business, come through that door.
- I will.

Do you want to bet?

It's a bet.

May I?

Thank you.

Deliver it to Mr. Rasi.

Come.

Come.

The lake is beautiful.

Look! Look at this!

The mole! I've found it!

He's the one ruining the lawn.

Can you give me a hand to dig?

- I'd prefer not to.
- Why?

I don't get dirty if I don't have to.

You are a bit vain, you know?

Mr. Rasi will see you now.

Can you tell me what
you wrote in that message?

It's not important.

- However, I won the bet.
- We didn't work out a prize.

What would you like?

"I will acquire
International Insurance Securities."

I love these concise statements.

There is something
mysterious about them.

I think of the best one of all:
"God exists." It's sublime.

Too bad no one
could explain the meaning.

Business can be explained.

Look, it's the tree of happiness.

Every fruit is worth billions.

Every branch represents
the best of Italy's financiers.

Do you want to know the secret?

None of them can grow too big.

Because there's a pact that
stops them from getting more than

- seven percent.
- I never agreed to a pact.

I intend to buy and I will.

I already have two percent.

These two groups are mine.

And that's only the beginning.

I know the
Lebanese system very well.

It has been going around
for years. But it is dirty.

Their currency is trafficking arms.

It's my company's shame.

No one will deal with you
for the simple reason that

this garbage is in your hands.

I am about to give an
extraordinary offer to all the

shareholders who want to sell.

I'll buy shares from the Internationals
and pay twice their value.

By the end I'll have 31 percent.

That's enough to have control.

I don't think you have
all that money at your disposal.

Wait and see.

- You are bluffing.
- Maybe.

Maybe not.

Why did you come here to see me?

For an alliance.

In exchange for your advice,
you could become president.

And you'll have a substantial share
of the securities all to yourself.

Why are you proposing this,
if you are so sure of yourself?

Only you are familiar with
your Empire's weaknesses.

With your help, I could avoid
the increased expenditure

of the public offer.

A famous man in finance used to
say, "There are two types of sins.

One is venial and the other
is mortal. A venial sin is to

run away with the cash.
A mortal sin is to provide

privileged information to others."

Commit the mortal one.

I will not commit either!

Good morning, Captain

There's someone in the other room
who would like to speak with you.

- Who are you?
- I'm Attorney Liguieras.

Make yourself comfortable.

What do you want?

I want you to come with me,
but you must come unarmed.

A man who loves helicopters
wants to see you.

Helicopters that fly over prisons?

Exactly.

Come.

I knew that you would come.

You are courageous.
And also quite clever.

- And you understood.
- What?

That even though we don't have
the same friends,

we have a common enemy.

The Mafia.

You don't have a very good memory.
They freed you, didn't they?

What's a man without his power?
Without his money?

Without the friends he had and who
have now abandoned him? Nothing!

I know a lot of things
and I can help you

- to destroy the Mafia.
- How?

See? I only have this gun.

But I cannot point it at my
enemies. You will do it for me.

Put it away.

You know that
I'd like to shoot it at you, too.

But I don't want to do that.
Instead, I'll tell you a secret.

The Mafia sells
weapons to lots of countries.

Right now, they are investing
in small companies up north.

Soon, they are going
to buy one called Megator.

This is the man who will buy it.

Within ten days, he will
have to pay 800 million.

The agreement has
already been made.

He doesn't have the money
but the Mafia will give it to him.

- In what way?
- Easy.

He will have a big win
at the casino. Tindari's casino.

On Thursday night he will
go there, he will play and win

800 million.

I know other things too...
about Frolo, for example.

The shooter. He spent
a long time in a psychiatric hospital

called Santa Maria dell'Orto.
About 200 kms from here.

You can go and check.

- What else do you know?
- Maybe another thing.

But I'll tell you in the future.
I want to be certain.

We will meet at the Mozart Hotel.
Ask for Mr. Karame.

Why have you told me these things?
You know I could arrest you?

No you can't, you need me.

You want to destroy Tano.
So do I.

And you can only do it with
my help. See you later, Captain.

I have always resented that fog
from up north. It's a feeling.

Those born there,
always carry it within them.

But I'm interrupting you.
You were offering me something...

I was with this hand.

But I didn't raise the other yet.
I wanted to ask something first.

Tell me about the first hand.

I'm offering you control of an
important Italian publishing chain.

It has two newspapers, a publishing
house and a television channel.

Basically, I'm offering you a way
to gain the most votes and more

political power.

And I'll offer you four percent of
Mediarez, it's worth nine million.

- All this to me?
- To you, your party, to whoever...

I don't really care who uses it.

They told me you were a
megalomaniac, but frankly...

I want to acquire the
International Insurance Securities.

The International
Insurance Securities?

Listen, I don't have time to waste.

Shortly, I will launch a public offer.

I'm ready to invest 500 billion.

I will do it, as long as your friends
don't create obstacles for me.

Do you see this clock?
It was made in the 1700s.

By a jeweler of the king of France.
And in over 200 years,

it has never broken. Do you
know why? Because it is simple.

A drop of water falls and hits the
time, then rises and drops again.

So, I follow the
same philosophy. Simplicity.

However, your plan
is as complex as possible.

In here, there is a quartz crystal.

A mineral with the property of
swinging when struck by an

electric current. And it always
does it in the same way: 35,000

vibrations per second. This is a
thousand times more precise than

your clock. Take it, it's a gift.
It's the present. Stop thinking

of the past and start thinking
in a new way. A different way.

No one can buy the International
Insurance Securities,

even if you're loaded with cash.

Rasi heads it up,
and he cannot be bought.

And this is what I came here to ask.

You gave him that position, and
you can take it away from him.

Us?

Yes, you and your friends. Your party.

It's you that gave him
the power that he has.

We needed a guarantee,

a man to oversee it. They were
difficult times for the country.

And anyway, it was someone else
who recommended him.

Who?

Someone who would have been
ideal as a partner in the deal.

- With my consent, naturally.
- Who?

His name is

Antonio Espinosa.

Years ago he was a general
manager. He was very important.

Then, he decided to retire.
Now he is a collector.

- A collector? Of what?
- Art objects. Frames, jewelry,

- bits and pieces.
- But really?

In reality, he collects secret
information about this country.

Stuff that no one knows.
Stuff that no one sees.

Get me an appointment with him.

Captain, you are
going to get me in trouble.

Don't worry.

- You can't do this.
- Don't worry.

It's my responsibility.
Try to understand.

I'll have to deal with
the Director tomorrow.

Why don't you
come back tomorrow morning?

Can you be quiet!

Where's the cell?

- It's here.
- The key! Give me the key!

Acidduzzu

- Excuse me?
- Come in.

- Anything else?
- No. That's fine, Ferretti.

Up to now, we are still in the dark.

Who is this guy, Frolo?
What do we know about him?

Very little. Practically nothing.
He is a strange one,

he can stay quiet for hours.

But he doesn't seem
like a professional.

And he is rather run down.
He has breathing problems.

I've had him admitted
to the hospital for tests.

And who was
in charge of the transfer?

It was meant to be Captain Cattani,

but he vanished.

And how are you
getting along with him?

- Do I have to be totally honest?
- No, no it's not necessary.

I can imagine.

He appears and disappears,
does as he pleases, and doesn't listen

to advice. He's
disrespectful to his colleagues.

And for him, the justice
system is something personal.

- It is a game between two.
- He has suffered a lot.

Others in his position would have
given up but he just keeps going...

and he's the best.

- Don't treat him too badly.
- You should say that to him...

Yes, yes, I know. I know him.

But do you want some advice?
Let him be.

By now, we understand
his ways and we accept him

without any restraints.

Hello Captain.

The judge has been looking for you
all day to discuss Frolo's transfer.

What transfer?

They've taken him
to the hospital for tests.

- I was on my own so I sent Trevi.
- You sent Trevi? A kid who has

just graduated from Police Academy?
Call Quadri and Gonzales.

- Get a move on!
- Yes, yes, I'm on to it.

- Where is Frolo?
- He's here.

But we aren't allowed to go inside.

Are you mad? You can't come in!

Sorry, but I have to investigate.

Can you tell me who you are?

Quiet! Be quiet!

There is a bomb! Get out!
Quickly! Everyone out!

So, why did you call for me?

I wanted to say thank you.

Who wants you dead?

Perhaps Tindari's friends.

Why did you kill him?

For my honor.

- Honor is a word used by the Mafia.
- No.

- I had my own Mafia.
- There's only one Mafia.

No, I had my own.

But what would you know?
You're a citizen, a policeman.

I was a kid... and one
day they stole my motorbike.

The boss of my suburb
was Don Vito Sorano.

He had really white skin
because he always stayed indoors.

He said to me, "Wait,"
and half an hour later,

my bike was back.

I wanted to repay him, but
he said, "Turi, don't offend me!"

- This was my Mafia.
- You were mistaken.

Because that is not the law.

The law that you are talking
about, never knocked on my door.

Don Vito Sorano knocked on your door

the day he wanted you
to repay the favor, right?

It's true.

But Don Vito didn't come.

He sent him.

Tindari?

He gave me a gun
and he said, "Shoot."

Shoot...

I read a book which explained the
velocity of wind in a second.

Three meters is a breath of wind,
ten is a blow that bends branches,

30 is a storm,

40 a hurricane.

But to move the trigger of a gun

you need a stronger wind.
Much stronger.

I was strong as a bull, back then.

But I didn't have that sort of strength.

I ran away.

It was my fault that
two men of the family died.

When I returned home...

my wife and daughter
were no longer there.

The countryside didn't have a moon.

Behind a corner I saw a fire,
down by the river.

The car was burning slowly.

Then it exploded.

I spoke to a judge for hours on end.

I knew it had been Tindari

and I told him.

But after a while he stopped coming.

Another one came.

I did not say much to him

and he made me tell him the names
of my fingers, which one was my

right and left hand,

and what weighed more?
A kilo of wool or a kilo of steel?

At the end, he asked me the name
of my primary school teacher.

I couldn't remember.

They locked me away.

There were walls
as high as mountains.

Screams... and silence.

I screamed that I wasn't crazy...

that my downfall
was because of Tindari.

Because he had killed and burned
my wife and daughter.

But the more I screamed,
the more they said I was mad.

And they would tie a wet sheet
around my head. So tight...

that it suffocated me.
So I said, "Enough.”

I swore...

and I kept my silence

for fifteen years.

I am not even fifty years old,

and I'm no longer able to cry.

I don't have any more tears.
They drained them from me.

But someone's still afraid of you.

Why?

Is it true that you also lost a daughter?

I heard about it...
someone was talking about it.

Yes.

It's true.

Poor Captain...

Part One
