All language subtitles for A Story Called Gomorrah The Series S01 E03_track3_[eng]

Gennaro, you and me together.
No one can stop us.

Ciro's dead.

We're on our own now.

Without Ciro Di Marzio,
Gennaro Savastano is nothing.

You helmed the boat, Gennaro.

And where have you taken us all?

Azzurra, you are my life,

but don't ever put yourself
between me and my blood.

I'm not coming back.

There's no turning back.

Gennaro.

A plane eventually has to leave
the ground if it wants to fly.

A STORY CALLED
GOMORRAH THE SERIES

EPISODE THREE
LIKE WHEN NAPOLI PLAYS

Power and a thirst for freedom.

Violence and...

a desire for peace.

Love for her husband and...

determination to protect her child.

Get off! No!

Pietro!

Leave me alone!

Don't hurt him!

The Azzurra character is...

perpetually beset...

by conflicting feelings.

She feels a continual...

attraction and repulsion for two worlds
that often appear identical.

There's the attraction to this man, Genny,

whom she's chosen
over everything and everyone...

and this belonging
is probably also subconscious in origin,

but at the same time,
she needs to escape this world,

the world Genny belongs to.

You have to do me a favor...

Anything you want.

From this moment on...

don't open your fucking mouth ever.

This is the bind she's in
from when she first appears...

until the end.

Gennaro, you and I made a promise.

That we're in this thing together. Always.

What's going on?

Nothing, love. Everything's good.

Don't treat me like a fool!

Our stuff got ripped off. Ok?

It's this ambiguity
that reminds me of my initial reaction...

to Gomorrah - The Series.

I first came across Gomorrah
as a viewer, an outsider.

I admit I was a bit prejudiced,

because I was afraid
it would turn out to be

yet another stereotypical
Italian crime series.

And...

after just a few minutes' viewing
I was totally...

caught up...

in its vortex.

You have to finish it now, Gennaro!

Do it!

So?

Killing is fucking easy.

Then you're all set.

I can die now.

When it was eventually aired,

not only in Naples,
but especially in Naples,

it was like when Napoli played
in the Champions League.

The streets were empty.
Everyone was watching it.

Attilio!

Attilio.

I remember the terror...

literally,

fear and relief.

I say terror, meaning:

"If this show doesn't work,
after all that's happened...

"NO MORE DEFAMATION".
SCAMPIA BANS GOMORRAH

...they'll get rid of me.
I don't know what will happen."

Fear is more maternal.

I loved the series so much,
that I wanted the whole world,

well, I mean Italy,
to love the show just as much.

It was a relief because,
never in my career up to then,

had I faced such a difficult challenge.

And finally there was relief:
"My God, we're on the air!"

It could have been any of us
and not The Immortal.

No one can kill him.

There was this great excitement,
as if we were explorers,

it was a bit like that,

and we had discovered something

and couldn't believe
the beauty of the thing.

This is the feeling I remember most:

"Wow, is this for real? Did we do this?"

The day it went out I remember...

it was also
when our social media stuff began,

and there was a...

a flood of messages,
feedback and interactions,

which initially left us all a bit stunned.

How did you shoot him?

What do you mean?

One, two, three times?

Once.

Just once.

That was it.

You've got a good aim and all.

For me, one of the most exciting,
vivid memories,

was when I got the call to audition
for the second season of Gomorrah.

And then reaching what I didn't know then
was the final audition round,

I came face to face
with my favorite character.

What's wrong? Not like it?

I'm not hungry.

How come? Not feeling well?

I've been thinking
about only one thing for days.

What?

About what happened.

It was you who betrayed my father.

Was it you?

For my friends and colleagues
who had worked on the first series,

the big surprise was to find...

that the show was
a resounding, unexpected success.

It was then that we began to realize
just what was happening.

For me, it was going to the store,
turning the corner of the aisle,

and bumping into someone.

They're in tears, saying, "God, it's you!"

There was a very funny episode.

I was with my mom and my sister
in a shopping center,

and I was in the dressing room,
trying on shirts.

So I open the door,
expecting to find my mom and sister,

but instead there's a line of people.

So I go back in to get dressed,
because they're waiting to get in...

But in fact, they're all there
lining up to get a photo with me!

That was an absolute first,
it had never happened to me before.

I remember one time in the supermarket,
there was this lady.

She says to me, "Will you reach me
that product?" I say, "Of course!"

She hasn't seen me yet.

Then she sees me. She's spooked.
This thing drops to the floor.

"What's wrong?"

-"Are you Savastano?"
-"No, Cerlino."

There's a time that makes me smile,
and I know that my mother...

will also be smiling at it,
so I'll tell it, but...

It's because it was so out of place,
it was like a parody...

Anyway my mother had died

and we went to the crematorium
after the church service,

me and my sister.

Out come the ashes,

and we're holding this little wooden box,
still burning hot, me and my sister,

and this kid comes up to me and says...

"Signora Scianel, please excuse me,
it's hardly the right time, I know,

but if I don't do this now...
Can we please have a selfie?"

Come here, look at this.

There's Totti asking me for a selfie, see?

Yeah, I've got the statue...
Have you seen the nativity statue?

"Seen see the statue?" I have one at home.

I have you and Ciro.

When the series came out
social media was already a big thing.

So, for the first time,
the fans had the chance

to get actively involved
in this online movement,

creating catchphrases
that have become hugely popular.

I left Naples to a bunch of idiots

who can't find their dicks
in their underpants.

IN THE GOAL AREA WE CAN'T FIND
OUR DICKS IN OUR UNDERPANTS

I bet your name's Noemi.

GUYS' LATEST CHAT-UP LINE:
'BET YOUR NAME'S NOEMI'

Drink it. Let me see if I can trust you.

-WILL YOU MARRY ME?
-DRINK IT. LET ME SEE IF I CAN TRUST YOU.

Two fries.

WHO ARE WE? MEN.
WHAT DO WE WANT? TWO FRIES

Stay not worried about it.

STAY HUNGRY. STAY FOOLISH.
STAY NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT

In fact, many people reacted

when their favorite characters
left the show.

Some people really railed against actors

who had done brutal things in the story,

forgetting that they were
actors in a TV drama.

Others, though, had a lot of fun.

Morning, can I get you a coff...

What's this, changed your job?

There was one brilliant group
of Naples writers,

who posted a series of parody videos
on their YouTube channel.

Would you like a coffee?
Shall I make you one?

Don't give a fuck about coffee.

Ok, but why have you come
into a bar, Mr. Cavastano?

Because a man
who can do without everything...

Who can do without everything...?

A man who can do without everything
is afraid of nothing.

Is afraid of nothing!

I was the cause of all the fuss

over the "Effect of Gomorrah on People"
videos.

because, always happens with me,
I had become...

obsessed with the Gomorrah characters
and their "Gomorrese" speech.

Two fries!

Sorry, Mr Cavastano, we don't do fries.
This is a bar, not a restaurant.

Drink it! Let me see if I can trust you.

Mr. Cavastano, why do you go round
with this glass of pee?

-I just cleaned the counter!
-I left Naples to a bunch of idiots.

So I'm the idiot?

They can't even find their dicks!

Keep your voice down,
my boss will fire me!

-Two fries.
-Look, we don't do fries, ok?

-Don't worry.
-It annoys me when you say that!

Excuse me, could you pass the sugar?

Don't ever dare to come to my house again.

The language knocked down
all preconceptions

and crept into people's words,
their speech, their actions.

For wasting our time...

-We oughta shoot you in the mouth.
-Get it?

I meant no offense, honest.

-Two fries.
-We don't do fries.

-Don't worry.
-Worry about what?

This is great, because it means

that in a small way, a TV drama
becomes part of everyday life,

and then it becomes a phenomenon.

Drink it!

-You got me.
-Let me see if I can trust you.

You're driving me mad!

The Camorra's a serious thing!
You can't fool around like that.

Not the film, the series or the book.
Especially the book!

It became disconcerting when...

the representation received
more criticism than the thing itself,

that was the contradiction.

You and that other idiot Roberto Saviano!

That fucker is making a pile of money
by shitting on Naples, don't you get it?

If I come across Roberto Saviano,
I'll shoot him in the mouth!

I'll shoot Roberto Saviano in the mouth!

-The fries are here.
-In fact we were just...

We were just talking about these kids

joking around
about something this serious...

The Camorra's a serious matter, I mean...

-You can't make jokes about it.
-I disagree.

By doing that, they cut them down to size.
They're right to do it.

They're right to laugh about it.

Yeah, we were actually just saying that,

how important it is to try to find...

-Can I have your autograph?
-Sure.

All my family are fans of yours,
especially my mom...

-What's your name?
-Noemi.

-No! I mean Fabio.
-Fabio...

Don't worry about it.

That's what we wanted
to do with these videos:

deflate that whole wave of indignation
that had built up.

Because in the end,
you have to laugh when a boss says:

"Don't worry".
You can't take him seriously.

At that point,
you've really taken them down.

-Worry about what?
-Don't worry about it!

Don't worry about it!

What are these worries
you're talking about?

Going round with these stupid glasses!

You've made a complete mess here!

Come here.

Come.

Come and be forgiven, come.

You have to forgive me, Imma.

These are larger-than-life characters,
they're anti-heroes,

they're totally negative,
but they're real.

I can't take the loneliness any more.

It was so fortunate and so enriching

to have such a visually powerful world,
which had never been represented before.

Besides the storytelling had this...

tragic, Shakespearean power,

which you rarely see in other dramas.

What will we call this lovely little baby?

Pietro.

Pietro Savastano.

It's no coincidence that Gomorrah
had and still has such success,

or that Gomorrah's is of a quality

on a par with the highest
international standards.

We don't say that
for the sake of bragging,

but there are international publications
that have said it.

There are many hearts
beating in this show.

For me,Gomorrah is successful
because it presents a microcosm,

which is only superficially regional,

and becomes a metaphor
for the human condition,

wherever in the world you are.

So I would say that this show is not just
international, but global in its scope.

Gomorrah has been seen
in over 200 countries.

We have super fans from Pakistan
to New York to Buenos Aires...

When I see its success in France,
England, Germany, Spain, the Balkans...

I feel that the basic premise
of the thing was solid.

The premise was simply:
"We are retelling a universal truth."

So whenever I go to Naples,
there's a taxi driver who tells me:

"I picked up a Finnish passenger
and I said to him:

'So we're going to Piazza Plebiscito?'

''No, I want to go to the Vele,
I'm a fan of Gomorrah. '"

Hearing the Gomorrah characters
in other languages sounds weird.

It's surreal!
I mean not Neapolitan obviously.

Still, it's satisfying, hugely satisfying.

Likewise when we were filming in London.

And we realized that Genny was an icon
in another country as well.

So many people
came up to stop him and say hello.

We also had
a very special guest on the set,

it was a wonderful surprise visit.

That was when Ricky Gervais
came to see us, it was crazy.

We were shooting in London,

and people on the street
would recognize Genny.

They obviously knew Gomorrah very well.

I was sitting there with headphones on,
glued to the monitor.

I didn't see him come in.

So I turned around,
expecting to find the script supervisor,

and there beside me was Ricky Gervais.

It made me jump!

He motioned like this...

And he told me he was a massive fan,
just loved Gomorrah.

It's a good one.

The sea is freedom.

It's peace, it's rebirth.

It seems so far from the darkness
of the criminal narrative,

but in Gomorrah,
the sea is often an important character.

Azzurra!

Come, come here.

Get up, we gotta go. Come on.

Come to Daddy. Azzurra, we have to go.

What is it, Gennaro?

You thought I betrayed you?

I was involved
in some truly pivotal, loaded scenes.

We gave the sea...

some really emotional scenes,
some of the strongest in Gomorrah.

The sea is a main character
in many of the scenes,

they leave a memory in the sea, and...

the fifth season...

will be no exception.

No one expected
this unbelievable success. Really, no one.

No one could have imagined
it would become such a phenomenon.

Frankly,
I was pretty surprised myself at first.

Then, when you realize
that your work is appreciated

in so many parts of the world,
in places you've never heard of,

it's thrilling.

You've become the person I hate the most.

Don't say that.

You're just like your father, Gennaro.
