SUBTITLES BY BARISHNIKOV@KICKASS

My name is Pericle Scalzone, I'm 35...

..and my job is to wreck people's ass.

I have a technique.

First I stun 'em with a bag of sand, then I get it inside.

Not too small, not too big... I don't really hurt 'em.

My job's not to hurt, is to shame.

I can get it hard at will, no time lost.

Just say "Up!", and up it is.

I work for Luigi "Pizza", from all the pizzerias he owns.

When he decides he wants another one, that's it.

If the owner doesn't sell, he sends me.

No one ever retaliates, for fear of Don Luigi.

Hi, Tò. - Hey, Pericle... we heard you been busy today too.

How many asses today? - 1, 2, 3, 4...

How's the dick? Still hard?

Look at him, consumed by his job.

All good?

All good. - Ok.

What's with these now?

I don't need to talk money with Don Luigi, he sees me as family.

Sometimes I get presents. He doesn't explain and I'm fine with that.

Don Luigi! I'm good with what I have.

Good evening... nice place here.

Thanks, Rosario. What brings you around?

My uncle sent me, to ask for a favor.

Carmine, Gennaro, Antonio...

He can stay.

Heard the news from Naples? - There's always someone running his mouth.

My uncle wants to be safe.

If you could take care of that relative visiting from Naples...

...for old friendship's sake.

For this kind of favors I better talk to your uncle myself.

You know my uncle doesn't like to move...

This is delicate though.

If Don Gualtiero wants guarantees, he's gonna have to do this stroll.

Right?

Anna!

Hey, Pericle! Good, you been to the laundry.

Are you going home? - Not right away.

Today it's my birthday. - Getting old yourself, huh?

I was thinking... we could have dinner tonight.

Happy birthday, Pericle. I got to go, I'm late.

I'll take this home.

Despite my efforts, I remember nothing of my childhood.

All I have is a photo of my mother's. Aunt Nenè gave it to me.

She said: "You keep it, always remember your mom when she was pretty and healthy".

I remember that pink blouse though, she did like it.

That's why I put roses on the grave.

It's something that makes me happy, 'cause it seems I'm making her smile.

Then the brain starts reasoning like this and I feel a fire in my head.

I don't feel like myself anymore... I better have no thoughts at all.

Did he thank you? - No.

Isn't your friend? - No, plus he was so tense...

We're done for now, we'll call if we need you.

For you.

That's how it is!

Pierre? - In the back.

I'm getting some, Pierre. - This is the God of fuck.

I always come to Pierre's. He's not one of those filthy junkies.

He runs a shop, dope is an extra.

I'm on credit, he trusts me.

He always calls me for his parties.

He knows I make him look well.

He's got a bit of everything. I prefer chemicals.

I solve it in water so it feels more harmless.

Hi, Salvatore.

Have they been inside for long? - Yes.

May I... - No.

I got pizza...

What is it you want?

If Don Gualtiero asks Don Luigi a favor, it must be really delicate matter.

They'd been at war and people died.

Now it's all favors and courtesies...

..but I still can't stand the whole of them, uncle, nephew and the rest.

Did you hear that?

Morning.

Don Gualtiero...

I'll move the car right away.

I'll move the car. - What, you don't even have a license.

I jerked off so many times to Don Luigi's daughter that I'm still embarrassed when I see her.

I'm afraid she can read my face.

We grew up together but now she keeps her distance.

I know she still cares for me though.

Like this? - Yes.

You're here too...

I brought pizza, over there.

Can I? - Yes but write it down.

They didn't even put basil in it.

Listen, Pericle...

Don Leone keeps trashing me on Sunday during Mass.

He doesn't openly speak my name, but talks of 'scum spoiling the neighborhood'.

I don't mind if he tells a few idiots in the sacristy...

...but in front of everybody, that's no good.

I was so ashamed I almost cried.

They were all staring at me. - I'm taking care of that right now, you see?

I would love to be left alone with my pizzerias, in peace...

...but they keep coming... "Don Luigi, I need help"... "Don Luigi, I have a problem"...

Frankly, at my age, I'm fucking tired of that.

Of course.

Dad, I'm going... will you look after the girls?

Eva's got math to do. Be good, Stella.

What are you thinking of, Pericle?

Just go... wreck this fucker's ass.

Kid, are you stoned?

Quit that shit and just go!

You mean right now?

Of course now... come on, move!

I know you, you're Teresa's son.

Sometimes strange things happen to me.

Something burns inside my head, like when you get zapped.

I don't know why it happens, but I must calm down.

Otherwise I'm capable of doing crazy things... don't know where they come from.

Like someone else is doing it.

How did it go? - He wasn't alone, there was a woman.

She saw you? - Yes. - What did you do?

I hit her with the bag. - Shit... alright, we'll take care of that.

When she fell, she hit her head. - So she passed out.

She didn't move.

There was blood.

You mean you killed her?

I did not, she slipped. Bad luck.

Whe she saw me, she mentioned my mother.

In French? - In Neapolitan.

What have you done, Pericle... what have you done...

That was Signorinella, Don Gualtiero's sister.

We were supposed to look after her, do you understand?

And you...

You never killed anyone and you start with her...

Now you just disappear and don't move until I tell you to.

Don't talk to anybody or it's gonna be a real mess... go, move it!

Don Luigi...

What was I supposed to do? - You weren't supposed to be born.

Where's your father?

He can go upstairs. Salma is home.

Hi, Salma.

How long will you need the room?

Don't know... two days. - Ok.

Whenever someone fucked up and needs to hide, Don Luigi sends him to the Tunisians.

You can never go out, not even for some fresh air.

I'm good here, I got heating, TV, a tub... it's like a hotel.

It's better than my home, I'm always alone there.

Selma is nice, I fancy her a bit.

There's no hot water, boiler's broken.

Last time, one of yours brought girls in.

That's no good, Jerome is growing up.

Mom asks if you'll have dinner with us. - No, thanks.

Just bring me some water with lemon.

Alright.

We don't have lemon.

What... you want a cigarette?

Go ahead.

Jerome, dinner's ready!

Don't tell your dad.

What's that face?

I'm tired. - Want something to eat?

There's no need, aunt.

Aren't you offering Pericle something, Alarico?

As if... let me take care of that. - Ok.

They called an hour ago, they're looking for you.

What happened to you?

What were you thinking working for those people?

They're animals.

Don Luigi always took care of me.

Do you need money?

I've got a bit, but I won't say 'no'.

I've got nothing here.

I can go to the bank tomorrow morning.

I'll fix you a bed.

Alarì...

Thanks. - Don't worry.

Aunt Nenè...

Do you know Don Gualtiero's sister?

Of course, Signorinella 'bad luck'.

She was very respected, she put spells and curses back in Naples.

I saw it on the news, looks like she's at large now.

Did she know my mother?

They met back there, your mom asked her a favor.

What favor?

All I know is when your mom came to Belgium...

...she said she was still alive all because of Signorinella.

Also, you wouldn't be born if not for her.

I fucked up.

Signorinella is dead.

So that's why they're after you.

Go away, Pericle.

If something happens to me...

I'm sending money to Naples every 20th of te month, to keep mom's grave clean.

Perhaps I'd better let them kill me.

I can't take it anymore, I'm too tired.

That's how it is.

That's 20 euros.

Here. - Thanks, have a good day.

Good morning, what'll you have?

What's inside that one? - Broccoli and Emmental.

And that one? - Goat cheese and mushrooms.

And that... - Can't you see there's a line here?

Let me answer this gentleman, ma'am.

If I may suggest, that Quiche loraine is fresh baked.

Ok, I'll have that one.

2,10.

Thank you.

Wait!

Bye.

Ma'am? - One baguette and two croissants, please.

Morning. - Morning.

You were right, it was very good.

Glad to know. - Yes...

Do you have a cigarette?

Can I sit?

Thanks.

Coffee? Two coffees, please. - Not for me.

Just one then. - Alright.

Are you from here? - Not exactly.

Neither am I.

Where are you from then? - From Toulon.

Never been there.

How is it?

Are you married?

I guess you don't feel like talking...

I don't know anyone here, so...

Just to chat a bit...

But I come here to have some tranquillity.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to... wait!

What are you doing here? - Nothing... sleeping.

Do you have an I.D.? - Yes.

Do you have papers or not? - Yes...

I had a row with my wife, that's why I'm here.

Is it your van? - No, it belongs to a friend.

A friend... - Yes.

Driving license?

I lost it. - You don't have it? - No, I lost it.

Don't move.

He's got no license and that's not his van.

Let's bring him in. - But our shift's almost over...

We gotta arrest him. He's got no license and the van is not his.

He had a fight with the wife...

What are you reading? - What do you care?

Maybe I've read it too.

I bet you never read one single book in your whole life.

Is it a love story?

That'd be your kind of book. - What do you know?

I know plenty about you.

I'm tired, I don't feel like talking now.

Don't you have a day off? - I can't afford it, now leave me alone.

Can I buy you a coffee?

One coffee.

What happens if I accept.

I'll put something in it, to make you fall in love with me.

I mean it, it's a spell.

I learned it as a kid.

But I can use it just once.

For the lady.

Wait!

Now drink.

What now?

Just checking... it's beginning to work.

See? It's working.

I gotta go now, thanks for the coffee.

I'll walk you...

Don't you have a place to stay?

Wanna drink something? - Yes.

Wine? - Ok.

Can I use your bathroom? - Of course.

That way.

You got a bad grade and you're taking it out on me!

Juliette, she's not well. - She's got chickenpox.

I'm sorry, I can babysit them. - Ok, I understand.

Pasta again? - As always. I'm hungry.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it, bye. - Bye.

Shut up!

What are you doing with those DVDs?

I wanna see a DVD! - You don't need to make this mess!

Mom told me you are friends.

Yes.

Since when?

Since always.

Where did you meet? - Enough questions, Vincent!

Can I watch a movie? - Yes but in your room.

Don't worry.

It must be because of the kids.

I'll go.

As you like.

License, please.

Stay here.

What happened?

Can I sleep here? I have nowhere to go.

What's wrong?

You think I'm no good?

No, I don't.

Get in.

You can sleep on the couch.

Here.

Thanks.

Good night.

I'm going out.

When you leave, check if the door locks 'cause it doesn't work well, ok?

Ok.

I'd never been in a woman's house.

Sometimes I fantasized about having a family,

take the kids to school.

Just for fun, I made up their faces... the wife, the kids.

I even spoke to them, "Be quiet, I'm watching the game!"

They were making dinner, but then I felt like an idiot...

...like one who must make people up, so I got angry.

Alarico, it's me. - Pericle, what happened?

All good there? - Yes but where have you gone?

Are you two fine? Nothing happened? -What was supposed to happen?

Did someone come to you? -No one at all, but where are you?

I'm in Calais...

Soon as I have some money I embark. - I'll bring it over, tell me where.

Don't worry, there's no need.

I'll call you back, bye.

Morning. - Morning.

I thought Anastasia was home, I heard the TV.

No, she's out.

I'll take the kids back then. - No, don't worry, I'll watch them.

Ok... bye,kids.

This guy ate all our chocolate pudding! - No way!

Are you having dinner here again? - Yes, why?

Nothing.

Give some to me. - Ok.

You're making fun of me, aren't you?

You're about to taste something good.

Try it.

It's good, isn't? - Yea...

Wanna try it?

What did you do today?

Have you been here all day?

Yes.

Don't you have anything to do?

What's your job?

I...

I'm an actor. - Are you?

And you don't have money for a hotel room?

Well... I do small roles...

What movies were you in?

You haven't seen 'em... not your genre.

I have a feeling you don't feel like working.

You like work instead? - No, but with two kids...

I can't wait to quit.

I'll be back in Toulon. My mom will watch the kids and I'll have a bakery of my own.

I don't know why I'm still here, my husband don't even pay alimony anymore.

With 30k euros I could open my bakery.

Really?

How you gonna get all that money?

My boss still owes me 13k of extra time, that asshole...

He didn't pay for a whole year, he always finds excuses.

You want me to take care of that?

What you mean? Bust his face?

Will you stop lecturing me? - It's no use, I won't pay that.

You really wanna talk money?

'Cause I'm getting fed up now.

Hi. - Hi.

What's this mess?

Come on, kids... hit the shower.

It's not that late.

I decide what time they have showers.

Don't get mad. - Of course...

You do nothing all day while I get up at 6am.

I could take 'em to school. - Don't bullshit me.

What were you doing at the bakery? What's on your mind?

Nothing.

What are you thinking? That we've set up a family?

Mom!

He doesn't wanna wash! - What's going on?

I don't wanna take the shower. - Clothes off, come on!

Alarico...

Pericle...

I'm only sorry for Aunt Nené, she doesn't deserve a rat for a son.

You talked with Don Gualtiero.

Don Luigi is calling us every day...

He says you're a dumbass...

You saw a little blood and got scared...

Signorinella is alive. - Alive? What the fuck are you saying?

You didn't kill her, you're no good at that.

Listen...

Call Don Luigi and have me picked up, I'm coming back.

When I'm stoned, the world changes.

All the hatred that choked me just goes away.

You feel powerful.

You see only the good side of things and you think: "it's only because I'm stoned".

But it's not that. There are no more weak spots in your reasons.

Now I look at people and I understand them. It feels I know everything about them.

I say...

...why don't they make up something to make you feel like this all the time?

No side effects... only good mood... only good will.

Pull over, I gotta buy something.

Syringes.

Here, it's 55 cents.

Thanks. - Thanks, bye.

Don Leone...

How you feel, Don Leone?

Something to my head...

I'm Pericle...

Same one who hit you last time.

I injected you some heroin. - What...

Don Leone...

I just wanna know where Signorinella is.

You're cursed now...

Bullshit.

I gave you communion when you were a kid...

You mother was a good woman...

Leave my mother alone.

Don Leone...

Where is Signorinella?

Ready for another fix?

No! Rue Des Goules, 13...

Rue des Goules, 13...

Don't worry, it'll pass soon.

Get dressed, we're leaving.

Can't you see I can't move? Everything hurts.

Get on it.

Anna? It's Pericle...

Signorinella is with me. Tell your father I want 50K euros cash or I'll take her to the cops.

I'm not joking, Anna...

She's gonna end up bad.

Tell your father to send Gennaro to Chez Leon with the cash.

What do you think? Don Luigi and Gualtiero reached an agreement long ago.

They never gonna pay all that cash.

Let's see how it goes.

Of course... you feel you're Don Luigi now...

You think you're someone, but you're not...

You're still the same old shit.

Tell me how did you know my mother.

Do you remember your father's last name?

Amitrano, why?

Ever wondered why you got your mother's last name?

It's for my own protection.

I see Don Luigi told you plenty of bullshit...

Teresa Scalzone, your mother,

was married to a cousin of ours, who worked for my brother Gualtiero.

Nunzio Teresi, known as "Shorty".

Did you know that?

Then, Nunzio was given a life sentence...

...and locked inside Poggioreale prison.

What did your mother do?

She visited him in jail every week...

...and at the same time she was fucking this Amitrano.

Handsome kid, just like you...

...but he was a man of Don Luigi's.

That stupid got pregnant...

You see... that could never be done.

So your mother came to see me...

...with that little little tummy on her...

She was about 3 months pregnant...

And she said: "Signorinella..."

"...only a woman can understand me, I'm truly in love..."

"...you have to grant me this favor".

So, in order to keep the families in peace,

I came forward and cut a deal with Don Luigi:

your life in exchange for your father's.

So it was decided... Don Luigi killed your father although he was his closest friend.

Enough of this bullshit or else I'll kill you too!

You wanna kill me...

...you'd only do him a favor.

Don't you understand this is not Naples? I'm nobody here.

They're not coming to rescue me...

...they're coming to fuck YOU.

See for yourself.

You think Don Luigi would send that idiot Gennaro by himself?

Hi, Pericle. - Hi, Stella, how are you?

What are you doing here?

Get in the kitchen.

Where's your father? - Out with mom.

What do you want from us? - Call him.

Tell him to come home. - Why?

I need the money. - And you need to do all this?

Put that thing away. - You know they wanna kill me, right?

Dad has nothing to do with that. - Hasn't he?

I'll give you the money.

We do it this way...

Half a gram for Eva and half a gram for Stella.

Mom... what's that injection for?

Don't worry.

Alright, I'll call and you deal with him.

Put him on speaker phone.

Dad, Pericle's here... he wants you to come. - Alone!

Son, what are you saying? It's not like you... - It IS me, Luigi.

What's got into you? - Tell him.

He's got heroin, he's threatening the girls. What heroin??

Dad! - What... Pericle, don't do shit!

Dad! - Come here, Stella.

Come here.

You stay here and don't move.

Come, let's go play in the bathroom.

Get in and stay in the bathroom, alright?

I'm not staying here!

When I was a kid I always slept in the bathroom, it's funny.

I don't wanna sleep here! - Me neither!

But you will anyway! Good night and see you tomorrow!

I always fancied you.

Since we were kids.

You walked around the house, making shakes and fruit salads...

Always on some diet...

You never sat and have dinner with everyone else.

You fought with boys...

...and your father got mad... I was scared of him.

You, instead... always put on your smart-ass face with him.

You never looked at me...

...like I didn't even exist.

Somehow I liked it though...

...as if you were a grown woman and I was a little kid... it got me horny.

I'd say I liked to suffer.

I thought "She doesn't look at me..."

"...'cause I'm not family, I'm not one of them."

Then, when you married that French idiot...

...I knew it wasn't like that.

Only who you are and who you're not counts to you...

And now that I see you sitting there...

I know you're just a floozy and always were.

Even your husband left you.

You're spoiled.

You never worked one day, never did anything, never earned yourself anything.

You never even read one single book.

You're so stupid I don't even feel like fucking you.

Are you done?

Are you ok? The girls?

Take your coat off.

Hands on the table.

Do I scare you this much?

Pull your pants down.

I wanted to save you and this is your 'thank you'?

When we found Signorinella half dead...

...Don Gualtiero lost his mind and gave order to kill you.

I explained it was an accident.

Pericle, I'm tired of staying like this...

You think I'd let that shit kill a man like you?

No... you would have killed me yourself...

...like you did with my father.

Signorinella told me everything.

What are you saying, Pericle?

What's this bullshit now?

Your father was a man of honor and Signorinella isn't worth saying his name.

The day he died, I made a vow I would take care of you and your mother.

The order to kill your father came from Signorinella...

...for a whim, a sort of jealousy.

Signorinella saw your mother was sad...

"Teresa, you're so pretty"... "Teresa, I love you so..."

That lunatic woman was in love with your mother.

I took you and your mother in Belgium for your safety.

Signorinella wanted to keep your mother in Naples.

Your mom was desperate when your dad was killed, she was just pregnant.

She told her "Get an abort, you're still too young."

Me and Gualtiero made the agreement.

I'd take you two away and he'd calm his sister down.

Then your mother got sick, it was sorrow that killed her.

When your mother got sick...

...we took her to the doctor.

My mother stayed with her every night, you hear me, shithead?

We gave you a home, a job, protection...

...and you come here threatening me and my daughters, not even an animal would do that.

Give me the bathroom key.

What you said isn't true...

Although I was never friendly to you, I loved you like a brother just the same.

'Cause you didn't have parents while I did.

You instead say all those things to me...

If I tell you how I feel right now you won't believe me.

You wanna do this to me?? What the fuck you think you're doing??

Pericle, don't be stupid!

Don't worry, Luigi... be calm.

What are you doing?

You'll see.

Pericle, stop it! Just go away!

You know what my name is?

Pericle Amitrano.

And you know what my job is? - Bastard...

Of course you know... you taught me.

Don't worry...

...I'll be quick.

Pericle, what the fuck are you doing??

I don't work for you anymore.

I'm leaving.

It's me. - Ah, it's you...

Why did you leave? Were you angry?

I got the money. - What money are you talking about?

The money you needed, I found it.

I was sleeping, shall we talk another time?

Evening. We're going to Calais.

Rue de Calais... what number?

No, Calais in France... the city.

France? - Yes.

It'll cost you.
