Following the strange
murder of Antonio Tindari,

the owner of a new casino,

Corrado Cattani meets
Tano Carridi once again,

the managing director
of the Antinari Bank.

The investigations
are brought to the attention of

Judge Silvia Conti, with
whom Corrado immediately clashes.

Tano goes down to Sicily

to propose a
huge business deal to the Mafia:

an investment in the stock market
using the Mafia's capital attained

through drug trafficking.

The Puparo, a big Mafia boss who
has lived in hiding for many years,

assists the Turkish arms dealer,
Kemal Yfter's escape from prison.

And forces him to surrender
his shareholdings which for Tano,

are the first step in
acquiring an important

financial group -
the International Insurance Securities.

At the head of the group
is a proud and incorruptible man,

Filippo Rasi,
who Tano openly confronts

after having met
his young daughter, Ester.

In the meantime, Corrado
continues investigating the murder

and discovers that the man
who shot Tindari was recently

admitted to a psychiatric hospital

and that his name is Salvatore Frolo.

In a long and painful confession,

Frolo explains
that he wanted to avenge

the death of his wife and daughter,
who died years ago in Sicily

in a tragic settling of scores.

Frolo's story deeply touches
Corrado, and makes him feel he may

be on the right track to
tightening the noose on Tano Cariddi.

But his clash with Tano
isn't just about business.

More friction is caused between

them because Tano wants
to adopt young Greta Antinari.

A nudge in the right direction
to hinder Tano's grand plans,

is offered to Corrado by Yfter
the Turk, who whispers a piece

of valuable information to him.
In a few days, a small, anonymous

Mafia associate will go to
Tindari's casino where he'll be

helped to win 800 million lira.

THE OCTOPUS 4

Part Two

Are you sure it's the man
Yfter was talking about?

He's identical to the photo.

- Where is he?
- He's in there.

Wait here.

- Excuse me, are you a member?
- No.

Well, I'm sorry
but you can't enter the Prive'.

Oh, you're here! I've been
looking for you for an hour.

- You know I don't like waiting.
- Good evening, Miss Rasi.

- I'm sorry, I didn't know that he...
- Yes, he is with me.

Yes, but you know the
regulations, non-members can't...

Non-members
can enter with me anyway.

The house is at two million. Who's in?

Two million, I'm in.

- So, are you on a secret mission?
- How did you find out?

From your eyes.

Shall we sit at a table?
Sure. Do you play 'Chemin de Fer'?

- No. Do you?
- Sometimes.

Let's sit here.

Thank you, Madame.

Five...

Seven... it's closed.

Here. No one sits
at a table empty handed.

Place your bets, gentlemen.

The deal is at 120 million.
You may bet.

100 million.

- He's crazy! Did you see that?
- 100 million.

You may bet 120 million.

- How much is this one?
- Ten thousand.

I'm in, too.

- Are you also in?
- Yes.

- In this round?
-Yes, in this round.

Place your bets, gentlemen.

The bets are made.

- Change that thing please!
- The sabot?

Yes.

No, leave it on the table!

- Line them up properly.
- Pardon?

Line them up.

Thank you.

Stop!

You wanted
to let that man win, right?

I think we need to have a chat.
Police! Everyone out!

- You stay!
- Me, too?

Yes.

Everyone out...

The way you handled
the sabot made that man win

hundreds of thousands.
Now you're in trouble.

I'm an employee.
I did what I was ordered to do...

- Who ordered you to do it?
- The Director, Mr. Santelia.

Where is he?

- I don't know. I swear.
- Well?

Where can I find him? Where is he?

Maybe the jeweler
close by is in contact with him.

Give me the address.

He stays open all night
for struggling client loans.

Calm down please,
we will resume play.

- Can you help me?
- Yes.

Well, let's play a little game.
How much is this worth?

- A lot.
- How much?

I don't know. It's antique.
200 million lira?

You go out wearing this much on you?

Why, should I not?

Do you feel like playing?

- Of course.
- Good.

Which game?

I'll tell you later.
Give me the glass.

Yes, I realize its worth,
but it's too much for me.

- I can't put myself out that amount.
- It's only for a few hours.

I'll repay the amount with
interest... ten, fifteen percent...

- I usually charge 40 percent.
- Fine, 40. But don't refuse it.

We have to cover a check.
Even 50 million will do, but quickly.

Wait a second.

Here's 50 million lira.
Do you want to count it?

No, thank you. You've been so kind.
I don't know how to thank you.

- Thank you. Good evening.
- Good evening.

- And no what do you want to do?
- You'll see... we were looking for

a number and Trevi found it.

I'm Captain Cattani, Mr. Santelia.
You must come to the headquarters.

Captain Cattani's famous squad!
I didn't think you were so elegant.

Sorry if I made you wait,
but a car will take you home now.

- Yes, but... my necklace?
- Oh, you're right. You'll have to

- speak to the judge about that.
- Is that it?

- What?

Me and you.
Won't we see each other again?

Well, I don't know...

We could go to
the movies some night.

I never go to the cinemas.

OK... well, goodbye then.

Someone talked and
the police have closed the casino.

I've been thinking about it.
We were keeping that little bird

that talked in a cage. It was Yfter.

And now?

Now we have to sew his
and his lawyer's mouths closed.

I don't care about Yfter and his men.
What will happen to the casino?

Is there a risk
of this reaching the bank?

It all depends on Santelia.

We need to stop the investigation.
Who is handling it?

A woman.

- Can we pay her off?
- No. She's transparent, like a crystal.

This diary belongs to Yfter. I think
it would interest the Captain a lot.

I agree. As soon as the
Captain returns I'll inform him.

He has to see Yfter, he wants to
speak to him. The Captain knows

where to find him.
He needs protection.

Stay calm.

Captain Cattani's office, please.

Captain...

It belongs to Yfter.

Tindari, Frolo, De Pisis...

...De Pisis

- I'm looking for Mr. Kerame.
- Mr. Kerame... 216

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

"New crime in Milan. "

"Lawyer Eghiras was run over by
a car while in a telephone booth. "

How do you think up such things?
In a booth... hit by a car!

At least you could
have shot him first.

You're an animal, Salieri!

De Pisis...

I've never heard this name before.

- I don't know any De Pisis.
- Think hard... many years ago.

In Sicily. Maybe he was part of a
rival family, eh? Someone who was

looking for you when you
were on the run. Try to remember!

It doesn't ring any bells.
I'm sure I don't know him.

- What are you looking for?
- I don't even know myself.

It's all finished, Captain.
It has come full circle...

Tindari killed and
then Tindari was killed.

He is dust as am I. I will be
nothing. That's fine with me,

- but what's left to look for?
- We need to understand!

But I can't manage to understand.

Why did they put that bomb in
the clinic? And who ordered it?

It was risky business,

disproportionate for a simple vendetta.

You have to help me work it out.
You know something

and the others want to
make it disappear with you.

I don't know!

Those names... what were those
names that you gave to Fiorani?

Oh, small fish,
Don Vito Sorano's crowd.

And there was no one else?

One...

...who was above Don Vito Sorano.

One who was above everyone.

What was his name?

I don't know his real name.

He had a limp.

They called him bird foot, pigeon foot.

What do you mean
that he was above everyone?

He gave the orders. He was the boss.

He lived in the city
but no one ever saw him.

And he had a limp...

He must be the Puparo.
Yes, he's the Puparo!

He's been wanted for ten years.

No one knows what he looks like.
No one has ever seen him!

But maybe...
Yes, maybe you've seen him!

No, never.

Now tell me everything you know!
People die around here,

another two have
been killed! Start talking!

What do you want?

- I already told you everything.
- It's not true. You knew about Frolo,

that he was in the Mafia and
spent 15 years in a mental institution!

You knew and you didn't say anything!

What do you want to do, hit me?

Go on, give it your best shot!

Where do you put
all the money you earn?

I haven't gotten used to money.

Why didn't you tell me
everything about Tindari?

- He killed Frolo's wife and daughter.
- Yes, it was him.

But Frolo did something
men of honor don't do.

He didn't obey an order. He didn't
kill someone he was meant to,

so two of his clan died.
Then he ran. And one night...

they put his wife and daughter in a car

and they put the car in reverse
down a hill... everything exploded.

- Did you see the car?
- There was practically nothing left.

It was all black. Devoured by flames.
The police didn't let anyone near it

but from higher up,
it was a scary sight.

You could see remnants of
what would have been a woman,

curled up as if to defend
someone from the fire.

The girl...

Fiorani told me that Frolo
went to see him after four days

and started talking. He was
rattling off names, an endless list.

But Fiorani treaded carefully.
He wanted to sort it out.

He wanted confirmation of the names.
They waited for him under his house.

I still haven't forgiven Fiorani.

What?

To let himself be
assassinated in that way...

Sixty bullets and nearly all in his back.

He tried to get away. Isn't it absurd?
Someone like him, who was like...

a source of light for me.

When he saw them in front of him,
around three or four of them,

he took off running down an alley.

Heroes don't die like this,
it's not right!

When they come for you,
do me a favor, don't run away.

I also wouldn't forgive you.

Have you ever heard anyone
talk about a certain De Pisis?

- Who would he be?
- He was linked to Frolo and Tindari.

I don't know him, I swear.

There's no need to swear.

Who was Fiorani to you?

My brother.

Mr. Santelia, please don't deviate.

The man we arrested
in the casino had just changed

a few million into chips.

That money was the
ransom money from a kidnapping.

It's the Mafia's money!

Good. That means that
man was involved in the Mafia.

- It's a good thing you arrested him.
- But your casino made that man win

eight hundred million lira,
clean money!

No, not my casino
but my croupier, the thief.

Your croupier has blamed you.

Listen... I only know the lawyer.

He's cheap and I've been happy
with him. That's why I deny it all.

You ordered your employees
to let that man win. Why?

Look, this a clean
deck of cards, unrigged.

However, if you and I play
100 times, you'll never win once.

- It means you're cheating.
- It means you don't know how to play.

It means I'm better than you.

To accuse me of cheating, first you
need to find the ace up my sleeve.

But if I don't have this ace,

and if you find it on someone else,
why would you have a go at me?

Cut it out, Santalia.
We've questioned your employees.

Your casino is nothing less than
a money laundering operation.

I'll incriminate you for being
associated with the Mafia!

And you know what you'd get?
...At least six years in prison!

What do you want to know?

I want to know where all
this laundered money ends up.

If it's less than five I'll talk.

Well?

At the Antinari Bank...

there was a preferential
association with Mr. Cariddi.

How come?

When Tindari's association
won the bid to build the casino,

the Antinari Bank issued
a loan without any collateral.

A loan at a special rate...

- Which means?
- Zero percent interest.

- Do you feel like going for a walk?
- Sure.

Do your men ever leave you alone?

Even if I tell them to,
they pretend not to follow me,

and they hide behind corners like kids.

You really hate
Tano Cariddi, don't you?

- How do you know?
- I read the newspaper.

So you'd also know Tano Cariddi
wants to adopt Greta Antinari.

Yes, I know.

For him, Greta is just a shareholding.

The 40 percent that he needs
to have the major shareholding

and total control of the bank.

Listen, you know the
judge who will rule the adoption.

Yes, she's an honest, sensible person.

And you can't you do anything?

How would I intervene
in a magistrates ruling?

- Do you think he'll get the adoption?
- Yes...

the judge will have to look at
the facts. And until now, the facts

say Tano Cariddi is a good person.

- Unless...
- What?

Yes, unless we can manage to
put him on trial before that day.

In what way?

If we believe what Santelia said,
we can ask for an investigation.

An investigation of the Antinari
Bank. I know someone in Rome,

very important. Senator Salimbeni.
Maybe he could give us a hand.

Tomorrow you'll have
Santelia's deposition.

You can take it to the Senator.

Thank you.
You really are a strange judge.

Not so much as you
are a strange detective!

Excuse me, I was told to see you
about getting my necklace back.

- Your necklace?
- Yes, I gave it to Captain Cattani.

- Do you know him?
- Yes, a little.

Well, the other night at the casino,
he really fascinated me.

Who knows where he found the time.
He didn't mention your necklace.

Do you know where I can find him?

He just left, he was
heading to Rome by train.

Good morning.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to Rome. And you?

Have you spoken to someone
about this matter?

No, you're the
first person I've come to.

You've done well, even if you're
putting me in a delicate situation.

This document is protected
by the court privacy act.

But do you think it would be
possible to have an investigation of the

Antinari Bank in a couple of days?

It's not my direct sphere of
competence but before answering,

I must study the file. I hate
people who promise the world,

then don't live up to it.
Come back this afternoon.

Thank you.

Insert the anti-phone tapping device.

- Can we talk?
- Yes.

I have here on my table the
...let's say delicate... documentation,

on the dealings between
the casino and your bank,

brought here by your
old acquaintance, Captain Cattani.

- What? Cattani again?!
- Yes. It was him.

Oh, but don't worry, I'll try
to resolve the issue personally.

- You are too kind.
- Don't mention it.

I've only decided to accept your offer!

By the way, the friend I was
telling you about can see you.

But you'll have to go to Switzerland.

Honestly, I have to worry
about stopping Cattani.

Do you think you can do something?

Of course. But I must warn you
that this shady move against your

bank will bring you other problems...
- That is?

Oh, nothing alarming. No need to
worry. Your offer remains valid.

Just alter the price a little...

- Do you like it?
- Yes.

- But don't you get sick of it?
- Of what?

- Of having everything.
- Come. I'll show you my house.

Ever since I was a little girl,
when I lived with my mother,

this was my room.

And this carpet was my world.

Just as it is for Muslims.
Their carpet is their bed,

their table, and a place to pray.

Every color has a meaning.

Red signifies wealth and joy,

orange is devotion and pity,
white is suffering.

And this...

blue...

is love.

Just think...

over 100 years ago, an Arabian
weaver, seated at his loom wrote,

"I've woven this carpet
with the thread of my soul.”

I'd like to share some blue with you.

Let's make love.

And afterwards?

And afterwards you say, "I love you."

No.

- It's best not to.
- Why?

I always say "I love you,"
even if I don't mean it.

I don't.

It's a game.
It's like when kids play house.

The boy is the husband
and the girl is the wife.

And someone else wearing a rag on
their shoulders, plays the priest.

They get married
and then have a little baby.

Haven't you ever played it?

A long time ago. But it wasn't a game.

You are asking for
an investigation of a private bank

which has requested
very little in granting a loan.

Don't you think it's
an extravagant request?

You see Senator, I think it's more
extravagant that a person such as

Tano Cariddi grants a loan of millions

to a casino, without
getting anything in return.

The fact that a casino exists
increases tourism and the economy.

This no doubt favors the
banks in the area enormously.

It's about an excellent investment.
Don't be shocked.

It's a fast paced world,
and money runs.

People have rediscovered
the pleasure of gambling...

and of taking chances.
Don't you like it?

- No. Not at all.
- I would have guessed it.

Anyway, an investigation into the
Antinari Bank was done a year ago

following a request from the Roman
magistrate and financial officials

checked all the documents and
accounts. Here. It's all in here.

- And the result?
- Everything is in order.

What would you do
if you were in my position?

All right...

- When will we see each other again?
- I don't know.

- But will we?
- I don't know.

I've never asked you anything.
What are you afraid of?

Wait!

What is it?

- I only wanted to tell you this.
- Yes, but...

I don't care if
we don't see each other again.

But I want something of yours.

- What are you doing?
- To remember you.

- Bye, Captain.
- Bye.

Your passports, please.

Thank you.

Go through.

Here is my "Richelieu.”

Isn't it magnificent?

- You named it that?
- Yes.

All the great violins had regal names.

It's a way to distinguish them
from ordinary pieces of wood

with four chords. And to create
standards. It's a sacrosanct principle,

and not only in
the world of violins. Come.

Soon you'll have the privilege
to assist in the miracle of

its resurrection. I've called
someone who will play for us.

A great violin must be played
once a year. But only for a minute.

And in that minute, it breathes life.

For the rest of the year,
it remains a lifeless object.

Useless.

A bit like your money.

A single fortune that's
controlled by our friend Salimbeni.

- And as a result, has no strength.
- This is why I've come to you.

Unfortunately,
we are involved with Rasi.

A man who has an unforgivable defect

for someone of his social standing.
He remains incorruptible.

I speak of personal experience.

But he also has an obsession

which unites him with all great men
of the world. The will to survive.

That's true.

And this is what he'll have to change.

I really think that...

that this may be of value to you.

It's the recording of a
phone call from a few years ago.

It's valuable information
from the Secret Services.

It's about the death of Mr. Valenti,
who at the time was the

president of the International
Insurance Securities.

He was an old-fashioned man.

He discovered that certain
Italian- American groups were

manipulating Italian
currency, and he was on his way

to Rome to
denounce them to Parliament.

However, he never arrived there.

His plane exploded in flight.

Rasi was the man he trusted.

A phone call was made
to warn him not to take the flight.

Soon after Valenti's death,
Rasi became the president

of the Internationals.

- So he was involved.
- No, no...

He wasn't an accomplice.

He was just a bystander.

The classic crime at
the beginning of a great fortune.

I've gained from it
and you probably have, too.

You're giving me
a gift that's too powerful.

Actually it's not.

Let's say it's more of a trade.

Your friends in Sicily have an
island that I'm very interested in.

It's called Tirene.

Convince them
to leave it at my disposal.

What do you want to do with it?

I'm giving you something
that's worth billions,

in exchange,
I'm asking for a small island.

And silence.

No questions, no answers.

That's fair.

So, how are things coming along?

I need the Island of Tirene.
I need it as a gift.

- Tirene? But only goats live there!
- Better that way.

Tell your brother
everything is going well.

Soon you'll have some good news.

There's nothing wrong,
the Senator is right.

- But it's impossible.
- I've spent all morning reading the

results of the investigation. Nothing.

- It's all recorded and registered.
- We need to ask a senior inspector.

The Bank of Italy must verify the
dates. They've been manipulated!

Captain, you need a search warrant,
a document from the judge.

I'll explain it to you, but sit down.

No. I don't want explanations.
I want the truth.

You're not getting anywhere
with your sense of justice!

What do you want to do?
Act like them?

Illegality against illegality?

Listen, we're talking about monsters
...assassins, literally devouring

our country, who are buying
everything with their millions.

- And your treating them softly!
- They don't buy everything.

They haven't bought you,
for example. And me neither!

Why are you always obsessed
that the whole world is against you?

I've been betrayed not once,

but a thousand times!

Listen, Captain...

Look how nice it is...

Listen.

It's the heart.

It beats because it loves.

It loves you... very much.

- Mr. Cariddi, excuse me.
- You're not allowed to come in

again without being asked!

We're under orders
not to let anyone go through.

I want to see Greta.

Get out of here...

That's enough!

You think you're an eternal angel, eh?

But without a search warrant,
you're nothing but a public servant.

You just have to bide your time
until you reach pension age!

You might have Greta...

and even the bank, but I'll...

follow you everywhere!
I'll always be following you!

What do you want?
What are you talking about?

You are talking shit!

Get lost, disappear!

I'll follow you everywhere! Even to hell!

What happened
to the watch I gave you?

I took it to get repaired.

That's strange, it was
under warranty for five years.

Where did you find that one?

It looks rather shabby.

I stole it.

From someone rather shabby looking.

- Aren't you going out tonight?
- No.

I wanted to stay with you for a while.

You've fallen in love with someone
who makes you suffer..., right?

I'm afraid so.

Mr. Cariddi's driver has come on
his behalf. He said it was urgent.

Thank you.

Dad. Dad, what's wrong?
You've become pale!

Excuse me a second...

- Is this Mr. Rasi?
- Yes, speaking.

Rasi... this is a friend talking.
If you want to become president,

don't catch the same plane
as Mr. Valenti tonight.

- That plane won't go very far.
- Who is this? Who is speaking?

Dad...

Tano Cariddi is on the phone.
He has asked to come to lunch.

What should I say?

Tell him that's fine.

The documents we've presented
not only show Mr. Cariddi's

correct administration
of young Greta's estate,

but also his generosity and affection.

He has given the girl everything.

He's treated her like his own daughter.

Lawyer, enough. I've understood.

Mr. Cariddi thinks of
the well being of the little girl,

doesn't let her miss out
on anything and gives her gifts.

Yes, but the problem is
something else here. Greta is alone.

She tragically lost her relatives

and while she is waiting for
adoption, she needs the stable

environment of a family,
to live amongst other children.

So, Lawyer, is Mr. Cariddi able

to guarantee these
fundamental needs for her?

My client has clearly demonstrated
by his financial management of the

- Antinari Bank, that he...
- Don't bother, Lawyer.

Wait a moment.
Let the little girl come in.

Come here... sit in front of me.

Do you think you
could speak a little?

What's your name?

Gre... Greta...

An... Antinari.

Greta, do you know that man well?

It's Tano.

And...

do you like him?

Just say yes, or no.

Tell me something
you don't like about him.

- Your Honor... may I mention...
- Silence!

I don't like...

his mouth.

Why?

He never laughs.

Your Honor, I'd like to say
that my client will do everything

- he can to look after young Greta.
- Please, Lawyer!

I have another request for adoption

by Mr. De Cristoforis.

Stop telling me
about Mr. Cariddi's generosity.

The girl has an inheritance. She
doesn't need presents from anyone!

You're telling me that
someone else wants to adopt Greta?

Who is Mr. De Cristoforis?

That's me.

Exactly, that's him.

Biagio De Cristoforis.
From the Franciscan Order.

More commonly
known as Brother Bernardo.

Your Honor, what's
this Brother got to do with it?

This Brother provides
for a community of children

which exists with the help
of private citizens and community aid.

But Greta is a wealthy girl!

She can't go there,
she's not used to that lifestyle.

Children...

don't know anything about
being rich or poor, Mr. Cariddi.

- And anyway...
- Greta...

Do you remember baby Jesus,

and the Madonna,

the cow and the little donkey?

What color was the cow?

Blue.

Blue!

May I adopt her, Your Honor?

Very well, you may take her.

Forty percent of the
Antinari Bank's shares will, however,

remain as Mr. Cariddi's.

She's here! She's arrived!

Kids, here she is!
This is young Greta.

From now on, she'll stay with us,
she'll be part of our family.

Come. Let's go and paint.

- Well? Are you happy?
- Of course...

Do you want to paint together?

- I'll teach you.
- I already know how to paint.

- What is she doing here?
- If it weren't for you!

I followed all her advice to a t.

I spoke with Social Services,
I filed a request

Yes, but why didn't you tell me?

What was I supposed to say?
Silvia and I did everything in a hurry!

- You and Silvia?
- Well!

Why are you two already so friendly?

- Why, aren't you?
- Yes. We are.

- Can you do this?
- Where did you learn that?

Switch it on.

It's nose lights up.

- I'll come back to see you soon.
- With Silvia?

Of course, Silvia and.

Bye.

Goodnight.

You should go to sleep too,
your eyes look tired.

I think I should apologize.

I think I've always treated
you badly since we first met.

I don't think I
treated you very well, either.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you...

for Greta.

Why are you always so
defensive with everyone?

Especially those closest to you.

I don't want attachments.

Why?

Because I feel like
I'm on a holiday that I've won...

...but sooner or later the holiday
will finish, and see you later!

The less people who love me,
the less will get hurt.

- But a lot of people love you.
- Oh, really?

Who?

Greta, Bernardo,
Superintendent Falisci...

- and your men...
- But they are all special people...

Maybe they'd like to hear that.

Why do you worry
so much about others?

It's you that I worry about.

Why?

Because I always see you sad.

I'm not sad.

Is this where you live?

Yes.

It's late,
maybe your husband is worried.

- Goodnight then.
- Goodnight.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Bye.

On the other side of
the lake I saw a beautiful house.

A house built by an
English Countess in the 1800s.

Yes. It's amazing.

I've asked my father so many times
to buy it, but it's not for sale.

This is too big for us two.

It seems that this English
Countess had it built for Byron.

But at that point, he was
already in love with an Italian girl.

How do you know all these things?

I like to delve into the past
and dig up forgotten information,

- things that were buried...
- I like mysteries too, very much.

- And you, Mr. Rasi?
- Me?

I like clarity.

Fine... I'll be clear.

Soon we will sign an agreement.

An agreement that
will mark a historical date for

Italian and International finance.

Let's put our forces together

and we'll be the first.

Don't be so worried, Mr. Rasi.

When I was at the University I studied
your stock market maneuvers

the same way
a rabbi studies the Torah.

It was so simple, so perfect.

You remain the master, the best.
What are you worried about?

No one will believe our agreement.

- We're from two different paths.
- I know. But we will make a move

which will split every adversary.
A move that will convince everyone

of our good faith.

I will marry your daughter.

You want to marry me?

Only as a formality.
I'm talking about business.

I won't give my consent...
Please leave, Mr. Cariddi.

Let me finish.

Ester, you listen, too.

Your father is going
through a very difficult time.

And you can help him.

Everything he has built until
today, the huge empire of the

International Insurance Securities

can collapse at any time.

Your father's a very proud man. He
doesn't want to accept the truth.

But I can save him,
I have a lot of capital to invest.

Is what he's saying true?

But I need this marriage.

We'll only live
together for a few months.

You'll have your own rooms,

and you don't even have to see me.
Then we'll get divorced.

Only a few months, that's all.

Do you want to know
what I think of you?

No, I don't want to know,
it doesn't interest me.

I'll wait for an answer.

Do you want it from me
or my father?

Your father can't say anything but yes.

- I'll say yes, too.
- Ester!

Why not, father?

I'm doing something
that can be useful for you.

All right, Tano.

Please sit down.

Please.

The other night, the Casino's
profits were enormous. Two Billion.

That's nothing
unusual for a public holiday...

These results say the Casino doesn't
normally take more than a billion.

That's why I believe the profits
were higher than what was declared.

That's why I pay
an accountant to do the books.

Anyway, the daily profits are checked
by two officials on the Council.

What does the Town Council
have to do with it?

The Council has a
percentage of the takings.

And who selected the officials?

Councilor Canopio,

Tell me about Canopio...

I don't have anything
to say about Canopio.

And the two billion in profit?

I told you,
I don't touch any of the takings,

any type of taking,
especially those of dead men.

Is that why you
don't want to talk about Canopio?

You said that, I didn't say it.

Juventus Vs Naples...
how much should I put on it?

Hi.

Is Corrado here?

- You mean Captain Cattani?
- Yes, Corrado.

- He's gone out on duty.
- Do you need something?

Yes, I brought him some flowers.

- Flowers? For him?
- Why not, doesn't he like them?

Well... I don't know.

What do you say Giugni,
does he like flowers?

Well, I'd like to leave them.
Do you have a vase here?

Miss...!

Just a moment, Miss.

Excuse me can you show me.

What do you think? That
there's a bomb hidden in them?

Very well, very well.
They're beautiful. Here you are.

There's also this.

- What should we say?
- Ester.

- Ester and what else?
- Ester, that's all.

- Slowly, slowly.
- I'm respectfully letting you know...

- That it has been taken into account...
- Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello, Captain.

Captain, Miss Conti
has called a few times.

- Oh, and...
- What are these?

Well, I was just about
to tell you that Ester came...

"Ester, that's all."
That's what she said.

Hi, Captain.
I'm getting married. Ester.

Giugni, you take them.
Give them to your wife.

- Oh, hello.
- Bye.

The lady asks that you see her
in her room. I'll show the way.

Thank you.

- I'll be there in a second.
- Listen, I...

If you like, you may
put a record on while you wait.

Sorry, but what's this story about...

I'm happy that you came.

Why didn't you tell me the other
day that you were getting married?

Because I didn't know.

Actually, I didn't
really know my future husband...

- Basically, marriage for love.
- What's a marriage for love?

What's that?

Sound effects.

Seagull squawks. Nice isn't it?

And this is the beach
in stormy weather...

So this marriage isn't a joke?

I never joke around with you.

What's his name?

It's someone you know.

What's his name?

Tano Cariddi.

That's not true!

That's not possible!
Tell me it's not true! Say it!

- Yes, it's true!
- But why? Why him?

- It doesn't make sense!
- Stop it, you're scaring me!

You can't do such a thing because
you don't know what he's like!

Leave me alone!
Leave me alone!

You've hurt me...

Enough!
Don't touch me! Go away!

Do you want me? Answer me!

If you say...

If you say yes...
I'll forget about everything else.

Tell me that you want me.
I'm begging you...

Filippo Rasi. Whom do
I have the pleasure of meeting?

Was it you who
arranged this wedding?

- What are you talking about?
- It's all about money.

Ester doesn't care about Tano,
do you know this or not?

And you would be her father?!

- Will you be away for a long time?
- I don't know. The Commission starts

working tomorrow. I think
I'll be away for a few months,

but as soon as I'm settled in,
I'll come back on weekends.

Wouldn't it have been better
if you stayed at university?

Who knows, maybe it will do
us good to be apart for a while.

Why do you say that?

It's just what I think.

I'm actually sad I can't come with you.

How's your investigation going?

Today, while I was questioning
the Director of the Casino,

a fellow named Canopio
was mentioned.

An assistant, who doesn't
seem like a very honest man...

And why are you surprised?
Not all politicians have

spent their lives studying ants.

I should leave,

that way I have a
good excuse to kiss you...

We'll take care of it.

They're transferring Frolo in a week.

We have to organize ourselves
well, we have plenty of time.

We can't make any
mistakes this time.

I want a woman tonight. That one.

You take care of that.

Yes, I understand. Fine.

Boys, next week Frolo will be
transferred to Alessandria prison.

- I want all four of you.
- Only us?

No, there'll be another two escort cars.

But you and me will take Frolo
in an armored car.

The armored car? It's too heavy.
If we have to speed...

We won't have to speed.
If we speed off, who will be left?

I don't like armored cars.
Can I go in the Alfa?

- Why?
- Because I feel secure in it.

You go with Frolo in the car
and I'll follow you in the Alfa...

- What do you think?
- Well, it's best to have a fast car...

Very well. Me, Trevi, and Quadri
will go together with Frolo.

Gonzales and Giugni
will follow in the fast car.

There'll be another two cars, one
in front and the other on the tail.

We won't see each other
again, Captain. Right?

You're a good man.

I'd like to ask a favor from you. May I?

Tell me.

If you could...

somehow find...

where my daughter is buried...

and if you...

happen to pass by that way,

could you bring her some flowers?

At least so she knows...

that her father hasn't
forgotten about her...

OK.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

They're coming!

There's a detour. They're sending
us left. There's road work ahead.

You drive ahead and check it out.
Keep your eyes open.

God bless these rings,
which you will exchange as a sign of

your love and fidelity.
In the name of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Ester,

take this ring as
a sign of my love and fidelity.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Tano,

take this ring...

as a sign of my love and fidelity.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I'll go ahead.
I want to check the route.

- Be careful, it's a trap!
- Stop, it's a trap! Stop!

What are you doing? Hurry up,
we have to get out of here!

Oh, Christ! They've shot our wheels!
We're screwed!

We can't stay here.

- We won't make it! Let's get out!
- No! It's armored! Stay inside!

Gonzales is coming!

Quick, let's go!

Get in the car, Gonzales!

- Hurry Gonzales, go!
- Take him away! Hurry up! Go!

Go!

Shoot!

Hurry, shoot!

We have to let Gonzales go through!

Fire! We have to
put it out! Shoot, Trevi!

Shoot! What are you waiting for?

Corrado, are you injured?

Did you see?

They were waiting for us...

Poor Gonzales, he would have
made it. He turned around to help us.

Come on, it's over.

I saw Gonzales, he was... all...

those disgusting... damned...

Come on...

We have to be men. Men.

- Understand?
- Yes, I understand, I understand.

Good evening Madam. Welcome.

We're home.

- But this is the Countess' villa!
- It's my wedding gift to you.

Come, I'll show you the way.

You shouldn't have...

This is your bedroom.

Mine is the one facing yours.

But I can't accept...

- Our agreement didn't allow for this.
- Goodnight.

After the police squad was held up,

Captain Cattani escaped death.

Three agents
were killed and two were shot.

The prisoner, Salvatore Frolo,
is alive, but in critical condition.

The birdie won't sing anymore.
We've broken his wings forever.

Shut up!

I don't want to hear you!

My leg hurts and my heart hurts, too.

For years I didn't realize I had
one and now it won't stop beating!

You've caused too many deaths!
What need was there for that?

- What were we to do?
- I only wanted Frolo!

And the Captain! And instead
you've left Frolo suffering

for goodness knows how long!
The Captain is still alive...

...alive and dangerous!

Don't worry. We'll
take care of the Captain now.

And about that island...

tell Tano we're not used
to giving away anything

without asking questions!

Why does Espinosa want the island?
Did you ask him that?

No. What were we
going to do with that island?

Are you stupid? It doesn't
matter what we do with it!

It's what the others
want to do with it that matters!

This Espinosa shouldn't
keep secrets from us!

And what about Rasi?

When will he decide to talk?

Enough with the mysteries!

The mysteries are our business.

Tell that to the newlywed!

He's like a vegetable,
he can't talk, he can't move.

- Can he understand?
- I don't know.

No, don't go. It hurts to see him in
that condition. He's nothing anymore.

Excuse me.

Can you hear me?

If you can hear me, respond.

Come on, try to move something.
Try to move your eyelids.

Come on.

I promise that when you're better,

we'll go together
to your daughter's grave

and we'll take her lots of flowers.

I promise you that.

I make this oath to you.
