CORLEONE, DECEMBER 10, 1969
What's wrong?
It's time, call the midwife.
- You look like a real cop. - You're a pain in the ass.
You'd still be at the club, if it wasn't for Badalamenti.
You're really edgy.
Maybe you don't want to be with us.
I've just got the flu.
Let's go, shoot only when I say,
so we just hurt the ones we're supposed to.
Do right and it'll all be over soon.
- There are too many people. - Biagio, come here.
- No, darling, stay. - We're in the way!
Don't worry, I'll be just outside.
- I love you. - Me too.
Let's go!
Push!
Good evening, we'd like to speak to Michele Cavataio.
What is it, Captain?
- Say you don't want to die tonight. - I don't want to die.
What the fuck did you do?
Fuck, go in.
Calogero has to disappear, this blood can't look like our work.
It's a boy!
- How do you feel? - Fine.
He's beautiful!
- He's so small. - Hold him.
- I'm afraid of hurting him. - He won't break!
Want to come to Daddy?
He's beautiful!
Thank you, you've given me a beautiful boy.
Let's go to Mommy?
This is a nice place, there's always lots of sun.
What are you doing, spitting near Calogero?
It's your fault he's dead
and you even spit!
Thank Tano Badalamenti, you're a real wash-out.
You're alive, he's dead!
Get out!
Ciccio, already at work?
Death never rests, officer.
- Neither does life, my son was born. - Congratulations.
- Some come, some go. - Who went?
Someone like he never came.
Have a good day.
Goodbye.
Deputy Commissioner, the Honorable Scaglione is here.
- They've started again. - Yeah.
- How long has it been? - Slaughter like this, years.
- Was Cavataio the target? - Yes.
- How was it done? - The dynamics aren't clear.
There were certainly five or six men.
They shot everything that moved.
Mangano, let's solve this fast.
The Moncadas are influential builders, they'll turn to Rome.
And Rome will come down on me.
May I present Commissioner Boris Giuliano.
- Magistrate Scaglione. - What can you tell me?
I don't know, there's too much blood.
Of course, six deaths in one hit!
You'll see the papers tomorrow.
I'm at your disposal, keep me informed.
Carry on.
Come and take a look.
Cavataio fired with a Beretta and a shotgun,
but the bullets from the Beretta aren't anywhere.
See all this blood?
They must have wasted someone.
What do you mean?
There were seven deaths,
but the seventh got up and left.
Let's find this walking dead man,
he's the signature on the slaughter.
You should have looked out for him!
It's your fault they killed him.
Raise your arms high.
I'll work with them?
Rhythm!
Professor, they've come for you.
Is everything alright?
What's the matter?
Calogero is dead.
Ninetta, I'm sorry.
Don't hide your pain,
do like Arcangela and blame me.
You went to Arcangela first?
It was easier.
Where did you put him?
In a safe place, he rests in peace.
I don't want my brother thrown away like trash.
Do it for my mother.
No one will disturb him.
Tell your mother.
- How are you? - I'm alright if you are.
I'm leaving, but I'll be back soon.
You go, come, two minutes here, three there...
as if there was so much time.
Totò, time's passing, the women my age are married
and already have kids.
Only animals give birth irresponsibly.
Not you and me.
Our children must have everything.
You have to wait a little longer.
I'll wait my whole life for you.
Soon they'll stop treating us like dogs and be cleaning my shoes,
the guys in Palermo and everyone.
Twice, once for me and once for Calogero.
- They'll kill you too. - Not me!
Lf, with the strength of faith, you are ready to take on this task,
mindful of the promises made at your baptisms,
renounce sin
and make your profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
- Dost thou renounce Satan? - I do renounce.
- And all his works and pomps? - I do renounce.
Is it your desire that Antonio receive baptism
in the faith of the Church which we all profess?
Yes, we so desire.
Antonio,
I baptize thee in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Cut the razzing!
- It's your turn next. - There's time!
- What's going on here? - We're just chatting.
What happened to the Bagarellas?
A distant relative died, he was living in Venezuela.
Guess they really cared for him.
This kid's a gem.
Luciano, why don't you give him to me for Christmas?
Watch the compliments, Zu Tano, they'll go to his head.
Totò is a good guy, right?
We have to be careful this evening,
they'll be pains-in-the-ass about Michele Cavataio.
- What's it got to do with us? - Good!
Forget Lucianeddu, be with me
and good things will happen to you.
So far, he's had a bad thing happen.
Poor Calogero.
It was your man's fault, he made a fucking mess.
For these things, my guys are more than enough.
It's no one's fault, we're in God's hands.
Have some cheese.
Eat up!
I'd like to propose a toast.
Let's toast to the soul of Michele Cavataio.
Michele was a fiery guy, impulsive.
What had we decided at our last meeting?
We'd decided
that Michele should be left alive.
If anyone knows who it was,
he has to speak up.
I swear if I find out who killed him,
I'll kill him with my bare hands.
No need.
My concern is different.
His death means that some people
want to run faster than they should.
Why are you all looking at me?
- I'm a poor cripple. - A poor cripple!
Sure, but watch out for those who want to run too fast.
They can fall and get hurt.
None of us from Corleone wants to run.
Those who run don't see anything,
but it's important to see, both near and far.
- His killers come from outside. - Where from?
I don't know.
I know outside Palermo there's a need to count more.
The families in the province are unhappy
and unhappiness makes ugly things happen.
Ugly things have to be paid!
Please, Peppe!
Di Cristina!
Excuse me,
just a couple of words.
It's true, we'd decided that Cavataio shouldn't die.
But now he's dead.
Do we want blood to follow blood?
I listened to Riina with interest.
We need a strong Committee,
one that sees both near and far and puts an end to these things.
Who would you put on this strong Committee?
You want to be part, Masino?
No, it's not for me.
But there are worthy men,
men that aren't so short-fused.
- Oh, sure! - Well said, Masino.
- Relax, enjoy good health. - And the good food!
- All my best. - Goodbye.
- I liked what you said. - Thank you, Don Masino.
Jail made you grow.
They say you have friends, both inside and out.
I'm good-natured, I do what I'm told
and try to do it well.
I know, Tano told me.
What's this?
Black's elegant.
You've been up all night, you're worse than the baby.
I'm sorry.
What is it?
Mangano asked me to work with him in Palermo.
Palermo?
Teresa, it's a chance I can't miss.
You'll have more chance for work and the baby will grow up better.
Don't tell me lies,
you just want to run after that guy.
What can I do? It's my job.
This wasn't what I meant when I said we should leave here.
No matter, I'm with you.
I'll help you write the request.
How does it start?
"I, the undersigned, Biagio Schirò... "
Love Teresa like crazy.
You're such an idiot!
Thank you, my love.
Let's see how you like this.
That's no way to play!
I thought I was playing against you,
not against your son Antonino.
- He's too good. - You taught me how.
In fact, if you waited for your father...
Antonino will give us great satisfaction.
There are two Honorables at this table,
the Honorable Bernardo Mattarella
and the future Honorable Antonino Caruso.
Daddy's boy.
Pardon me, some people have no manners.
Totò, you mustn't come here.
A beautiful painting!
I'm a party leader with the Christian Democrats,
you're a fugitive.
I have important people in there.
- This painting's beautiful! - Yes, it's nice.
Let's be frank, Vito,
you don't understand these things like I don't.
We both know where we're from and we understand one thing only,
money and power.
- You're making money. - Not much.
Of the millions coming from the building sites in Palermo,
we getjust a squirt.
It takes more money to make more money.
We'll find it, don't worry.
But no jerking-off, people are already pissed about Viale Lazio.
Viale Lazio? I don't even know where it is.
Did they put a bomb there like they did at Bank of Milan?
You don't know what it is, but I do and my heads do too.
You're a good man, there should be no one over you.
- You have to be in command. - I already am.
Then you have to be more in command,
you have to be mayor.
These important people are here today, tomorrow who knows,
you have to think of your fellow townspeople.
We want to build too, feed on the contracts.
We can't, is it a sin?
Find the money, then we'll talk.
I'll find it, don't worry.
- Vito? - What is it?
The boy has to pee.
Of course, at the end of the hall.
I'll be going.
See you around.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Nitto, did I scare you? - My mind was elsewhere.
- What can I do for you? - A curiosity.
The night of December 10th there was a burial.
- I don't think so. - I do.
- Can I see the register? - It's right here.
Take a look.
Scilano, Ferricicchi,
Di Stefano, Galasso...
- It's all in order. - Good.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
I assure you, no one was buried on the 10th.
- Totò, come try this. - No.
Try it, it turned out just like my mother's.
Try it.
Too much garlic.
What do you think about kidnapping?
No.
We've never done any down here.
Up north it's okay, but not here in Sicily.
Besides, first we have to talk to Lucianeddu.
Liggio likes Milan, the night clubs,
we have to think about us, we need money fast.
We have to grow.
I have to get into the Committee.
- That's where the real money is. - We don't have the strength.
We'll get our own strength.
If he wants to act like a cop, let him,
but Calogero must rest in peace.
Alright.
- What did he want? - Some trouble in town.
Biagio, right?
He's after Calogero.
What a pain...
Wasn't it better to call a restaurant?
Restaurant cooking gives me heartburn.
- I have news for you. - I have some for you too.
The guys from Corleone were in Viale Lazio.
Know who's dead?
Calogero Bagarella.
- Are you sure? - I'll be certain tonight.
Go home
and tell your wife you're coming to Palermo tomorrow.
I want you working here on Monday.
Understand?
- You've been transferred. - Already? How can that be?
I got moving,
when we meet, you can tell me what you've found out.
Don't go overboard, get some sleep.
- Understand? - Yes.
- Schirò? - Yes.
- That's an order. - I take your orders as of Monday.
I'm off duty to night.
Have a good day.
- This is foolishness. - You could have stayed home.
There it is.
It's recorded as empty on the 10th.
Now there's a nameless cross.
The earth's been dug recently.
Come on, let's see who's in here.
What?
It's Ciccio Coniglio, the gravedigger.
Who's the other one?
Is it him, Bagarella?
They took Bagarella out and left Nitto Capezzano instead,
the city clerk.
They want no witnesses.
Totò, Ciancimino made a complaint,
he says you've become careless, you went to his house.
Palermo is a complicated city,
if you want respect you can't be a jerk.
What's in your head?
I want to get some money put aside.
- How? - Like up north, with kidnappings.
They've got money, the families pay and the Carabinieri don't give shit.
- Just so the hostage isn't killed. - We'll be careful.
The guys in Palermo don't want cops nosing around.
In Palermo they'll mind their own fucking business.
You know, everyone needs money,
even you in Milan.
We'll split it, like always.
We have to keep Palermo calm, they're setting up the new Committee.
They'll never know a thing.
Who do they want in this Committee?
Bontade, Badalamenti, Inzerillo...
and maybe me.
Okay.
Do what you have to, but do it well, then let me know.
We're a family, aren't we?
Of course.
The family of the lame.
Lucky you, going to Palermo.
Remember you promised to get me transferred?
I just get free of you and you follow me?
I'll try.
As soon as we get there, we'll call.
May God protect you!
Hello.
Well? What do you say?
- Like it? - Yes.
It's not much now, but itjust needs some paint,
drape a curtain,
the bedroom can go there and the living room, here.
- The kitchen's big, isn't it? - Yes.
Darling, it's temporary.
We'll leave soon, I promise you.
If he likes it! Like it?
Do you like it?
He said yes.
- Trust me. - I do, or I'd not have married you.
It's damp there, the baby caught a cold.
A colleague can help me find another place.
- You don't mean Cagnone? - Yes, why?
He's a little absent-minded.
Palermo is full of the absent-minded, even here in headquarters.
- How many kids do you have? - One, a boy.
It's not easy keeping the family together with this job.
This guy's a pain you've no idea, but he's good.
Let's celebrate the pain's arrival,
how about coffee?
- Maybe later. - We're going to see Scaglione.
- Exactly. - Good luck then!
- Thanks. - Goodbye.
We think that behind the Viale Lazio slaughter
are Liggio, Riina and Provenzano.
We're trying to recreate the map of Cavataio's affairs
to understand who inherited them.
Schirò's done some investigation.
Tell him what you found out.
During the shooting,
an important man in the Corleone clan was killed.
We think it was Calogero Bagarella.
The Corleone clan has already killed two people to protect his grave.
We thought we'd put pressure on the whole Bagarella family.
Good.
Good work, Mangano, we must be optimists.
Cautious, but optimists.
I feel the climate in this city
is changing and changing for the better.
I thank you all, I'm highly honored
to be the mayor of this wonderful city.
But especially,
may God bless all of you!
Ciancimino, your first off-the-cuff interview.
I have nothing to say, we've spoken at length.
- Is it ready? - Almost.
I spoke to Liggio.
- What did he say? - We can go ahead.
Who are those guys?
We needed good people
and that guy's very good.
I had him do a few things and he did them well.
He says you're good.
I need someone who'll do what I want, no questions.
Just show me who I have to shoot.
This gem's just arrived,
it gives a shock.
It charges you better than a cup of coffee.
- Who's he? - My nephew, he's learning the job.
- What's your name? - Pino, and he's even been to school.
He's got dancer's feet, we call him "softshoe".
Listen, Cup of Coffee.
I want people who work and don't chatter.
If I tell you to go to Binnu...
and kill him, what do you do?
I'd kill him.
Hurry up.
Go get him.
Antonino, your Dad sent me.
There he is.
- Get in the car. - Want to be a soccer player?
Let's go!
Hey! Did you see this?
When the Honorable Mattarella heard of the kidnapping,
he had a heart attack and dropped dead.
How come?
THE HONORABLE MATTARELLA DIES OF HEART ATTACK
He was his godfather.
Rest his soul.
- When are they paying? - Right away.
It has to be over by Easter.
Ciancimino says that Badalamenti is pissed off,
he wants to see you and Liggio.
- What does Liggio say? - It's your affair.
Finally Lucianeddu understands
that my affairs are not his!
They tell me your house has moldy walls.
How come all this dampness in Palermo?
Don't trust Mangano and Giuliano, talk with me.
Don't getjerked around!
You can buy a home for peanuts.
With my salary? What are you saying, Cagnone?
Trust me, you'll see how something very convenient will turn up.
But you'll have to grab the opportunity when it comes along.
- Understand? - Certainly.
I'm not interested in horses, I like houses.
Every room has a different color, isn't it beautiful?
This won't be a house, it'll be a palace!
Let me show you something.
I had them done, nice huh?
Luxury.
There'll be a swimming pool, I can't swim,
but it's for you, the friends, you can come and cool off.
When you have kids, bring them here to get cool.
Thank you, Zu Tano.
Let me try this light.
But to enjoy these pleasures takes tranquility.
- Who took Antonino? - I don't know.
Was it Liggio? He came to do kidnappings here?
It's not something my townsfolk do.
It's people from outside, who from here would have the courage?
I believe you, but certain friends are very pissed off.
- Who? - Di Cristina.
You know what he's like, he blows up over everything.
Bontade and Calderone are angry too.
You tell Liggio that these things
mustn't happen here.
I'll tell him anything you want,
but tell the friends that we from Corleone know our duty.
I know you're good people, industrious, but be careful.
I like you, but if you screw me, I'll get pissed off too.
Understand?
Architect, how's it coming?
- Are you sure this is the field? - Yes.
There he is. Antonio!
Stop!
We're friends, calm down.
Come here!
Don't worry,
we'll take you home.
Did we have to meet at this hour?
At this hour, only good people are around.
Every morning I talk to the Lord and he absolves my sins.
But you're my biggest sin.
Vito, what's the deal?
You were mayor and already you're not anymore.
Think about your own deals, I know my place.
- You though, don't know yours. - I'm looking for my place.
You wanted money? We've got it now.
Now open this door for us, or maybe a portal
and we're all happy.
You're the only happy one, I haven't seen anyone else happy.
- Scaglione knows everything. - The fuck, he knows everything!
So? If someone knows, he'll forget.
And if he doesn't want to, there's a way to make him forget everything.
Scaglione is a Chief Magistrate of the Republic.
The fuck do I care about the Republic?
Does anyone in Italy give a fucking damn?
Do you? Have you become a republican?
MAY 5, 1971
Let's go to Court.
What's this jerk doing?
So, Binnu.
The meeting's this evening.
Liggio reminds you to be polite,
he says you speak with his mouth and his tongue.
He says that?
What do you say?
Don't go, it's a trap, they want to kill you.
If I don't, what do we do?
We wait for the waters to calm and things to settle down.
By now things in motion,
I have to go, I must.
If I don't come back, see to Ninetta, my sister and the family.
Don't say that, even joking.
We talk, we talk, how long have we been talking?
It's like nothing ever happened.
But I want to make a list.
Cavataio was killed, Antonino Caruso was kidnapped,
Magistrate Scaglione was shot dead.
These are no small deals.
A magistrate is the State,
we have to do business with the State,
we have to be friends.
So, I'd like to be frank.
That's what we're here for.
Riina insists,
he says it's the families outside that are pissed off.
Okay!
I'm from the province too, I know how to talk to them
and they understand me.
Why don't you tell us what you discovered?
They all think it was the guys from Corleone.
I respect Peppe Di Cristina,
I'm sure he speaks in good faith.
Lots of things can be discovered.
Christopher Columbus, for example, discovered America.
It exists, it's there, it's a fact.
America's one thing, hearsay is something else.
If someone just discovers hearsay,
what fucking discovery is that?
Let's say I go around
and they tell me Peppe is pissed off at me
because I took some of Cavataio's contracts that he wanted.
But could I ever come here and say
I've discovered Di Cristina says what he says
because he wants to ruin me and take away the contracts?
I can't tell you that, because it's not a discovery.
It's just hearsay
that can lead us to a useless war among friends.
Friends have to stay calm and have trust.
Are you pissed off with me about the contracts?
What do I care about the fucking contracts!
But that's what Stefano Bontade thinks.
Everyone knows it.
Isn't it true, Stefano?
I think the problems are complicated
and to resolve them we have to put personal questions aside.
I'm not into personal questions.
Now I'm the one being accused?
No one's being accused, calm down, we just want to be in peace.
When everyone's got the atomic bomb, they all want peace.
Totò knows this very well.
- Right? - Yes, Don Masino.
What do you from Corleone propose?
Nothing, we don't have all this experience.
You from Palermo have to teach us, we can just repeat it.
With some attention for the interests of all, this trouble will end.
That's enough, I'd say that's right.
Totò spoke straight and well.
I propose that the Committee
should include Corleone.
It's a great responsibility,
it means accepting and defending our rules.
Who from Corleone?
- Liggio. - He's always in Milan.
When he has to come, he will
and if he really can't come...
there's always Totò, what about it?
It's alright by me.
But first let me embrace Peppe.
Sometimes we exaggerate with words,
but words are just wind and wind means we're alive.
And that's a good thing.
- Is he here? - He's in the sacristy.
I want to leave with you,
wherever you want.
- Venice. - We'll go to Venice.
And Murano, I want a crystal memento for the wedding.
We'll go to Murano too and order the wedding memento there.
Have you thought about the gown?
Don't make fun of me, all we can do is dream,
we can't go anywhere.
Now we can go where we want.
Come here.
There are lots of other women, go to Venice with them.
I don't want another woman, I want you.
With this we can go where we want.
This makes us invisible.
What are all these papers? What does RIPRO mean?
Could be a sham company, take a look at it.
- I look through all these papers? - What wrong with papers?
Nothing!
If you study them closely, you can learn a lot.
For example if you touch Mafia people, you'll touch DC people.
And touching Christian Democrats, you touch Church people.
So you drop it and things go back like before,
years of work wasted.
Right, there's logic only in movies.
I expected to be killed in Palermo at any minute,
it was logical, but I got promoted.
- I'm being sent me to Milan. - They shouldn't have done that!
What's this?
- You get me here, then you go? - No one is indispensable.
Now it's your turn.
What's this face?
Keep an eye on him.
- I hold you responsible. - Okay.
Take care.
They assured me that children
can learn to read at any age.
- They tricked you. - What?
Have you seen the wall?
It's moldy.
Did you talk to the landlord?
Sure, he said for the rent we pay it can stay this way.
When I have time, I'll sandpaper and paint it.
When you have time!
We'll sooner be moving.
Did you ever talk to your colleague, about that opportunity?
Cagnone? I haven't seen him, but something will come up.
- What is it? - See you this evening.
RIPRO is a property company.
Could be chance, but the name has initials from Riina and Provenzano.
Is it recorded in their names?
No, it's headed by Rimoaldi Carlo and Provera Maria,
postal retirees.
- The usual straw men. - They're behind this, I feel it.
I trust what you feel.
Study the papers, stay on them,
but in your spare moments, I need you for a thousand things.
There are too few of us, we're hard up.
- Who is it? - Police, house search!
Coming.
Hello.
You, in there.
You're always here, don't you have anything else to do?
Sorry, no offence intended,
but your name's Riina and so, regularly,
we have to make a check.
Who was this, your father?
Handsome man.
Careful, you'll break it.
Sorry.
I'll keep this.
Here are the kidnap dates
starting with Caruso's.
Here are the business activities, property companies.
Look how fast they're growing, and notjust RIPRO.
Building licenses, tens of building sites,
public contracts, clean as whistles!
Everything's in order.
Good job.
It's just the beginning, it'll take time,
but meantime, an interesting thing came up.
All the companies have the same accountant,
Giuseppe Mandalari.
Look at that face!
Have you talked to him?
He's got ready answers, no record.
- Should we call him in? - I'm keeping him guessing.
And last thing, there's this...
It was found it at his mother's house,
Silvio Albertini, the officer I told you about.
He'd like to work with us.
Who's this?
Ninetta Bagarella, Riina's fiancée,
Calogero Bagarella's sister.
In Venice, not bad!
While we look under rocks for them!
We're on the right track.
We can put Riina under pressure in his dealings and feelings.
This officer's been around asking questions five times now.
Did you get his name?
He told me over and over, Biagio Schirò.
What is it?
Ninetta has to go to Court.
- What? - They want internal exile for her.
What's going on?
I've been summoned to Palermo.
"Accused for her activity in support of the Corleone clan.
Requested is her removal from Corleone,
with mandatory sojourn in a northern township. "
Who's the jerk that signed this?
Do I go, or run with you?
Are you afraid of going to Court?
No.
The lawyer told you what to say?
You're not afraid to trust me, are you?
Remember something,
it's like a game of checkers,
you make a move and they make another.
Tomorrow it's like I'm with you.
COURTHOUSE OF PALERMO JULY 26, 1971
Even bigger.
Wait, I'll go answer the door.
- Hello. - What is it?
Your husband sends me, there's an apartment to see, an opportunity.
Yes, the apartment... but where's Biagio?
He's out on duty, he asked me to accompany you.
I'm alone with the baby.
Bring him along too.
Alright, give me two minutes.
Take your time.
Bagarella Antonia.
Let's hope we get this exile.
- Go back to the office. - No, I...
I'll stay here, I'll let you know the outcome.
Alright, see you later.
If you have a conscience,
if you have a heart, don't send me away from my town.
There are only women left in my family,
we have to work for ourselves and our men
plagued by misfortune.
My only fault is to love a man I esteem
and trust.
I've always loved Totò Riina,
he's never left my heart.
♪♪If you give me mandatory sojourn,
I have no alternative.
I'll respect the sentence,
because, despite your prejudice,
I'm a law-abiding citizen.
It means this must be my fate.
- What floor is it on? - Top, you can see all of Palermo.
- Very nice! - Here's the elevator.
- Is it safe? - Yes.
An elevator!
And this? You have a relationship with a fugitive.
Salvatore Riina's soul isn't lily-white.
He's wanted for many murders.
They're all dreamed-up schemes!
Salvatore is innocent.
The Court of Assizes acquitted him.
What is your rapport with Luciano Liggio?
I've never seen him in my life.
This is the apartment, take your time looking.
See what a nice apartment Daddy found?
Daddy!
It's big!
Excuse me?
Wait here, I'll be right back.
Officer?
Excuse me?
Wait here for Mommy?
- Officer Schirò? - Yes, who's speaking?
I have a message from an acquaintance.
Your wife and son have gone to see a house.
A house? Where?
When we know about Miss Bagarella,
I'll tell you where your wife and son are.
What are you saying?
- Why them? - You have to live in fear.
- Like your acquaintance. Who are you?
- Where the fuck's my wife? - Pray, Schirò.
Pray it goes well for Miss Bagarella.
Or your wife and son will leave that building
without taking the elevator.
Stay near the phone.
Hello!
Oh God, no!
Persecution, orjust tell me
what we could call it.
Whatever the word,
this episode, has caused my client
great moral and material injury.
I'll cite just one.
The Sacred Heart Institute, has fired the prof...
Help!
Is anyone here? Help!
Isn't there anyone?
What do I do?
My love!
We are sure the Court
will consider this.
Thank you, Your Honor.
- Can I make a call? - Go phone somewhere else.
- What's wrong? - Out!
All stand.
Due to insufficient probative elements,
the request for internal exile for Bagarella Antonia
is denied.
However, security surveillance
will be set up in her township of residence.
See?
Headquarters in Palermo can become a cloistered convent.
You prayed well.
Got a pen?
Write this address.
Don't cry, I don't know what to do!
- This one? - No.
This one?
No.
This one?
No, he's younger.
That's him.
- Are you sure? - It's him.
Vito Maranza, part of Totò Riina's clan.
Go home.
What should we do?
Tell me.
I don't know anymore.
Darling, remember...
when you said you'd protect me all my life?
It's impossible.
They're everywhere,
they ruin everything.
You can't protect me,
you can't protect the baby.
You can't even protect yourself.
Can I rest assured?
Cagnone?
Look into my face, you piece of shit.
What are you doing?
Tell your friends if they touch my family, I'll kill you all.
Scoundrel!
Right, more than you and everyone.
- I'll drown you in your blood! - You'll be kicked out!
Don't forget it.
You don't understand a fucking thing, you're a lost cause.
Asshole!
Nitto, if you're happy, then so am I,
but do you know...
how much Di Cristina and Badalamenti are taking from your province?
What money's that?
What money?
The "tax", contracts, drugs, their fingers are in every pie.
- Even in others' pies. - Can't be true!
But it is.
Why's it okay for his family, but not for yours in Trapani?
These guys want to screw us.
Until yesterday I was crazy.
Totò here, Totò there, a nice guy,
he's so intelligent!
Now that he's touching your interests I'm not crazy anymore?
Totò took us all for a ride.
Michele, he's a braggart.
In Catania they want your tail between your legs.
You know Calderone!
He's started rumors against us, he's out of control.
He's a good guy, but takes orders only from Palermo.
And keeps you on a leash.
He keeps you all on leashes.
Okay, let's talk to Liggio.
Liggio again?
The guys from Corleone are all the same.
I told Di Cristina:
"Peppe, Piddu Madonia has to work. "
What did he say?
Liggio must be off the Committee
and Totò has to pay, get it?
Calm down.
Let's see what we can do.
But... move aside.
You have a look-alike bodyguard?
- Di Cristina's got a look-alike! - Don't change the subject!
Totò has to pay.
It's agreed.
The military has overthrown Allende's Socialist government
nominating General Pinochet their permanent head.
The new regime has disbanded Congress
and outlawed the parties which supported Allende...
In Palermo they say you're setting half of Sicily against them.
Are you listening?
Will you stop watching TV?
Luciano, we didn't study,
you can learn a lot from TV.
There aren'tjust missiles and bombs,
there are spies, hidden microphones,
scandals, State take-overs.
You can lock a crowd in a stadium, if you make the right moves.
And they'll even award you!
I didn't come from Milan to watch TV.
You've made money,
you're in big business, what else do you fucking want?
Nothing, knowing you're well,
that you're having fun in Milan, is enough.
The fuck it's enough!
Take some time off to rest, I'll see to the Committee.
As you like.
I was just sorry to see you going back and forth.
But if those are your orders from Palermo...
Nobody's ever given me orders!
Hold your tongue.
Hello, may I introduce Silvio Albertini,
the colleague I mentioned, he's finally been transferred here.
- Welcome. - Honored.
Look what he found at the Bagarellas.
Now that they're both fugitives,
they've decided to get married.
Knowing Riina, he'll pick a nice place for Ninetta,
but safe, on his turf.
To follow the trail of this marriage,
we check out the priests with suspected Mafia connections.
Good idea!
Start with Don Agostino Coppola, parish priest in Carini.
He's in up to his neck.
A Headquarters circular says there are...
ties between him and Mandalari,
the accountant, Riina's straw man.
Speaking of which, there's news.
I combed Mandalari's companies.
There's a new one, know it's name?
Zoo Sicula Ri-Sa.
Yes, "Ri" like Riina and "Sa" like Salvatore.
He's fucking with us.
MILAN, MAY 16, 1971
Good evening Liggio.
We meet again.
Let's go.
Hands off.
Keep walking!
Liggio was arrested on a tip-off.
Now Riina is a dog with no collar, we do we do?
Will you see to it, or should I?
Nice hotel, it must have cost a lot.
It cost nothing,
we built it with the Fund for the South.
Know why it's called the Fund for the South?
Because as soon as the money arrives, it goes south.
The pool's the best part,
since they're ruining our sea.
If we have to call the Committee, we will,
if there's cleaning up to do, we'll do it.
Get in.
You wanted to see me, Don Michele?
Yes.
I've given a lot of thought
to what you've done
and to what you're doing.
Don't think I'm just anyone.
I don't like everything, but I said:
"Life is a race and if you want to take part,
you have to pick the most dependable horse. "
What horse did you pick?
I picked you.
You give me greatjoy.
It's my wedding gift.
It's nice you want to start a family.
The family is everything,
they're not my words, but Our Lord's.
But be careful, don't get maimed.
Does someone want to maim me?
Do I name names?
Congratulations.
They killed the wrong guy.
They can't do theirjobs,
next time we'll do it ourselves.
Mimmo!
What do we do?
Nothing, I'm getting married today, I don't want trouble.
Salvatore, do you take Ninetta as your wife,
promising to be faithful to her
in joy and in sorrow,
in sickness and in health
and to love her all the days of your life?
I do.
Ninetta, do you take Salvatore as your husband,
promising to be faithful to him,
in joy and in sorrow,
in sickness and in health
and to love him all the days of your life?
I do.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Is Don Agostino Coppola here? - No, he isn't.
- Where is he? - Saying Mass.
- When will he be back? - I don't know.
- Where's the altar? - They took it away.
- Where? - For a wedding.
- Whose? - I don't know.
You don't mind my waiting, do you?
May the Lord bless these rings
which you exchange as a token of love and faithfulness.
Long live the newlyweds!
You call this a peasant wedding?
Don't let Di Cristina blind you,
Peppe is limited, he can't see change.
Totò pisses me off too, but in business there's no point to it.
Forget it!
Di Cristina is the only one who saw right.
Di Cristina, Di Cristina... Stop it!
They're all happy,
let's enjoy this happiness.
Di Cristina is like an animal,
he pisses right when he has to.
About killing Madonia,
he should have first taken it to the Committee.
You can say lots about Totò, that he's bad-natured,
loaded with faults.
But one thing can be said,
he never does what he'd like to,
he just does what he has to.
How was the wedding?
Who are you? What do you want?
Officer Schirò, Headquarters in Palermo.
Where is all that money from?
The offerings of the faithful.
Generous!
Come with me, you can explain at Headquarters,
Let's go!
Totò Riina has had eighty people killed so far.
He's a butcher.
He's behind the most vile things happening in Sicily.
He's behind the Caruso kidnap,
he had Scaglione killed,
he's behind the disappearance ofjournalist Mauro de Mauro.
The same for many of your own colleagues.
Okay, but we have to catch him.
Tell me where he is.
Where's he hiding?
I don't know, if I did, I'd kill him myself.
And the money?
They took it. What do we do about the priest?
Nothing, he'll never talk.
- And Peppe Di Cristina? - We'll wait.
Commissioner Giuliano is happy and Di Cristina blew off steam.
Why not kill him, isn't it easier?
The Committee has to decide.
I respect the rules and get others to do so too.
If they say you don't count, and Liggio's the real boss?
You'll help me explain to all that I'm through serving.
- Who do you serve? - Just you!
- Give me a goodnight kiss. - Goodnight.
Luchino, say goodnight to Zu Totò.
When will you let me work with you?
Work with me?
- I want to be like you when I'm big. - Why, what am I?
A boss.
Just think, I'm a boss and I didn't know it.
- Off to bed. - Get moving.
Goodnight.
There's a cop, a friend of Biagio's,
he's been around asking too many questions.
He'll wind up here, get rid of him.
We've come all this way and you're still worried about cops?
Don't worry.
I don't want revenge, I wantjustice.
Don Michele Greco is my witness.
Peppe Di Cristina, in agreement with Calderone and Badalamenti,
had a dear friend of mine killed,
a person devoted to Cosa Nostra, Piddu Madonia.
Peppe Di Cristina went to the cops and spilled all he knew,
my business and Cosa Nostra's,
showing himself to be a rat.
God as my witness,
I've never wronged any of the three of them.
You gave the order to kill Di Cristina.
What are you saying?
I've forgiven all the wrongs Di Cristina's done to me!
Besides, everyone knows either my men do their work well,
or not at all.
Di Cristina behaved badly,
but you guys from Corleone have made us suffer for years.
Do you see before you "the guys from Corleone"?
I'm not "the guys from Corleone",
I'm Totò Riina.
I'm a patient, well-mannered man.
I hereby ask, with all due respect,
for the life of Peppe Di Cristina,
Pippo Calderone
and I'm sorry, but Tano Badalamenti must also be punished,
ousted from the Family,
for being an accomplice.
Alright, we'll give you Di Cristina,
but Calderone can't be touched
and Tano is out of the question.
They did a very serious thing.
Alright, I want to make a gesture of moderation.
We'll forget Zu Tano.
- I have a stomach-ache! - Have a chamomile tea.
Chamomile is for women.
Only thing for me is Alka-Seltzer.
Do you know when I last had a stomach-ache?
When my mother died.
It was different with my father, he was a real man.
I had a beautiful tombstone made,
written: "His Mafia was not criminality,
but respect for the Law of Honor. "
Like that...
A mother's death...
is always and only a bad thing.
- Shoot! - What the fuck do you want?
You bastards!
He's got a gun!
Shoot!
Your cocktail.
Set it there.
- When did you say? - The usual hour.
He's taking his time!
The deal was he shouldn't kill Calderone.
- If you don't talk, I will. - Quiet.
We were worried,
Sunday is sacred here.
Come in, sit down.
No, excuse me, Don Michele,
may I have a moment.
I'd first like to toast a dear person who has departed.
Pippo Calderone.
He died because he made a mistake.
He believed the treachery of that man without honor, Di Cristina
and he paid for it.
This was his only fault.
Calderone was a good family man.
A serious, generous person.
Let's remember him with respect for these qualities.
To Pippo Calderone.
I ask your pardon.
Thank you for allowing me this beautiful Sunday with you.
We have to let bygones be bygones
and love one another.
Totò Riina is always at your service,
for the good of Cosa Nostra.
Enjoy the meal.
Yeah, enjoy it.
The Red Brigades have claimed responsibility
for the kidnap of Aldo Moro, telephoning the publisher...
See what's happening in Rome.
For a while they'll take it out on these Communist terrorists.
I ask my colleagues to stand
to express indignation
for the despicable attack on the democratic State
carried out this morning.
- Totò, come here. - What is it?
A cop's here.
- Ninetta, pack our bags. - Why?
We're no longer safe here.
Alright.
Call Maranza and Cup of Coffee.
Sleep, my treasure.
It's me,
I'm on the coast road, at Via Nicosia 32.
I saw him.
- Who? - Riina.
- He came to the window. - Are you sure?
Yes, it's him!
Among Mandalari's complexes there's a Zoo Sicula villa.
Officially it's empty, but there are people on the second floor.
What should I do?
- Go up for a look? - Don't move, I'll be right there.
I'll wait for you, hurry.
Silvio!
You're a pain in the ass!
I can understand your bothering me,
but leave my family alone.
You should have told your friend,
I thought I'd explained it to you.
Go on, Totò...
kill me, finish your work.
Come on!
You're like the TV for me,
I watch you, and watching your life
reminds me I did well to choose my own.
