BRIGANDS: THE QUEST FOR GOLD
They say my land is poor.
{an8}KINGDOM OF THE TWO SICILIES YEAR 1860
{an8}Burned by the sun.
Damned.
But it isn't true. My land is rich.
That's why there's always been someone ready to plunder it.
Then Garibaldi, the hero, arrived
along with his Redshirts...
promising freedom from the landlords.
And I fought.
I fought this war like it was mine.
But they screwed us.
They screwed me.
BANK OF PALERMO
They emptied the Bank of Palermo to pay for this war,
leaving behind nothing but death
and destruction.
WAR LOAN IT WILL BE RETURNED.
In the end, the gold disappeared, and so did the map to find it again.
TWO YEARS LATER
Today, a new hope has finally arisen.
FREEDOM!
The map has been found.
And as true as my name is Sparrowhawk, I will reclaim it.
A deal is a deal.
Armed robbery. Kidnapping.
And murder.
Let go of me!
You'll pay for this, Sparrow!
You've always been the best bounty hunter, Sparrowhawk.
Bastard!
You traveled a long way just to turn him in here.
Why?
I'm looking for a man making deals with the Piedmontese.
He's from here.
Your mask is useful around bandits, but it isn't needed here. Take it off.
He has something that belongs to me.
Who is he?
You're looking for Clemente Degli Orti.
His farmhouse is at the base of the valley.
The map hides an enigma.
"I would set the world on fire for this."
Don Clemente, you made me come all this way for that?
The Redshirts had hidden it well.
I thought it was just a legend.
But I am sure that the map is authentic.
We should start looking around this area.
Assuming the gold of the South is there.
What can you tell me about brigands?
There are none in our woods.
What about this?
FREEDOM!
That's Michelina De Cesare.
Her gang is spreading a superstition that a woman will liberate the South.
They'll say anything to turn the people against us.
And the Vatican is helping them, along with what's left of the Bourbons.
That is why I'm recruiting.
Once the recruits have completed their training,
your people won't be interested in joining gangs
but fighting them.
We need workers, not soldiers.
Families rely on the work of those young people.
Without them, the land is not farmed.
- It's... - Enough, Filomena.
Don Clemente,
your wife is truly delightful.
Leave now, Filomè. Go on.
With the secret hidden in this map,
you can win the war against the brigands once and for all.
Isn't it safer to take the map to the police station?
My wall safe is impossible to force open.
The Bourbons trusted me when I served them.
I expect the same from you.
I'll put some soldiers on guard, then.
Why did you call me?
You're busy playing the lady while we starve to death.
There are soldiers in the house. I couldn't leave.
So what's wrong?
Jurillo drank from a contaminated well.
He's had a fever for days.
My brother's helping me out,
but the Piedmontese are going from farm to farm.
I don't know what I'll do if they recruit him.
Come and see me after sunset. I'll give you medicine and good water.
Jurì.
Eat.
Filomè!
Come here.
Here.
You're late!
- Where's the water? - I can't.
- There are soldiers at every entrance. - You promised!
Let's go this way.
Be quiet.
Who's there?
I drag you out of poverty, and you bring it to my home?
It's okay.
I'm just giving her some water.
Come here.
It isn't her fault.
It was my idea.
Filomena.
You shouldn't have ideas.
I'll finish here, then join you.
Wait for me inside.
Let me go!
- You should know your place. - This isn't my place!
Let me go!
Let me go.
I know your place.
Help!
It is indeed true that poor people can survive anything.
Come here.
You can't wash away your peasant stench.
Who's there?
Don't move!
Here's your new cage, Sparrowhawk!
Sparrowhawk.
I'm gonna kill you!
Son of a bitch!
What's going on?
I swear to God, I'll kill you.
I'll kill you.
Good evening.
Welcome.
Without that nice mask you wear,
you're a dead man walking.
It's just a matter of time.
Who are you?
Salvatò!
Look what I found!
Search everywhere.
Filomena De Marco,
married to Degli Orti,
has disappeared.
We know she was born here.
Has anyone seen her?
She's the master's wife.
You're looking in the wrong place.
Your master is dead.
The lands he owned have been confiscated by the king.
His wife has stolen something that did not belong to her.
If she is hiding here,
tell us now.
For your safety.
Only my sister is here.
You've done nothing about her death.
You think we work for you now?
Give us our land back, and leave us alone.
I know where you can find the peace you're seeking.
In the Italian Army.
I will take this young man and nine others of his choice
to serve the country as soldiers.
You'll leave tomorrow.
Shame on you!
You're taking our sons away because of that jinx too!
What did you call her?
Whenever she's involved, things go to hell.
Find her,
and you'll be rewarded.
If, instead, you refuse to collaborate...
this will just be the first of many wakes.
You were supposed to find money, not a woman.
Why did you bring her here?
She smells of bourgeoise, even if she is in bad shape.
I reckon she's rich.
Remove her blindfold.
Don't kill me, please.
Are you hurt?
No. I'm fine.
So why are you covered in blood?
I'm looking for Michelina De Cesare.
Are you with her?
The Monacos are only with the Monacos.
She is a bourgeois, Piè.
Just as I thought.
You got a husband?
No.
He's dead.
Other relatives?
I have no one anymore.
Celestì!
Go into town. Find out who she is.
Find out if anyone will pay a ransom for her.
Pietro.
Each day we waste is another day your father spends in a cell.
He'll spend his whole life in there if we aren't ready. We need money.
What if Fumel finds out we're here?
He won't!
Have you come from far?
From Calabria.
I've come to help a falsely imprisoned relative.
We were passing through the woods on our way to Mignano,
and we found this ring.
We want to know who it belongs to so we can return it.
Its owner has vanished. Her husband has been killed.
Everyone in town is looking for her.
Especially the outsiders.
Is there no one I can return the ring to?
She does have a brother. His name is Nino.
But they haven't spoken in years.
Thank you, Father.
Wait.
God supports those who are on the side of the needy.
We need people like you here to drive away the invader.
What's his name?
Don't touch him. He might bite!
Who are you looking for?
Nino. Do you know him?
He lives outside the village.
Is he rich?
Rich?
He hasn't got money to breathe.
How can that be? His sister was a bourgeois.
What do you know about her? She disappeared last night.
Fumel is looking for her. Have you seen her?
No. Keep your nose out.
Wait.
Are you a brigand?
The Piedmontese took my uncle. I don't have anyone left.
Can I come with you?
The Monacos have no use for a boy like you.
Listen, at least tell me your name.
I'm Jurillo.
It's not a game like you think.
Go away.
Sparrowhawk!
Stay still.
I told you to stay still.
Sparrowhawk.
Your reputation precedes you.
It is indeed an honor to see you here, in front of me, in the flesh.
And unmasked.
Why haven't you killed me yet?
No.
I have far more stimulating plans for you.
I was thinking of sending you to Mignano.
In case you didn't know, it's a maximum-security prison
that carries out executions.
Is that so?
Nobody ever told me.
And sending out
this portrait.
Show everyone the true identity of Sparrowhawk.
The bounty hunter.
It would be a shame to lose your talent though.
Even if you seem a bit rusty.
Caught at the scene of the crime.
Screwed over by a young woman.
Let's do this.
Tell me why you were there that night and who you work for,
and I might spare your life.
I know how to find her.
I'll bring her to you.
For a deal.
Destroy the photo.
Keep my identity hidden.
A deal is a deal.
- Untie him. - No.
I have an idea of how to catch her,
but you have to send me to Mignano with the other prisoners.
I have no jurisdiction there.
I'll be fine.
Better if you don't know how.
Your reputation was accurate.
You can't wait to die.
Add him to the list for Mignano.
Bring that woman back to me.
Alive,
if possible.
So?
What did you find out?
Her husband's dead, and her brother hasn't got a penny.
Idiot.
You were followed.
Who are you?
I'm a brigand.
Does your mommy know?
He's all alone, and he helped me find information.
- A boy like that could be useful. - Celestì.
What the fuck?
Let's hear it. How can the little boy help us?
I don't know.
Jinx!
It's your fault my mother's dead!
No.
- That's not true. - Liar!
You wanna join our gang?
Kill her.
What's wrong? You scared?
What are you waiting for? Shoot!
My husband killed your mother, Jurì.
And he wanted to kill me, too,
but he failed.
I killed him.
I killed him first, Jurì.
Celestì, is what she's saying true?
Could be. The priest said the Piedmontese are looking for her.
Kill her, or I will.
Ciccì.
She's an outlaw like us.
Fumel's after her. We could attract his attention.
Why don't we turn her in?
There must be a bounty on her head.
We don't make deals with the Piedmontese anymore.
- I'd rather kill her than be a snitch. - Wait.
Shut up.
I know where you can find money.
There are guards,
but I can get you in.
Assassin.
There's no gold here.
If you've jerked me around,
you'll regret not dying earlier.
The soldiers were here to protect that.
The soldiers are coming!
We gotta go! Come on!
Let's go quickly!
Hurry up!
What the fuck are you looking at?
I just hope I get hanged after you.
So I can enjoy watching you die.
Give it a rest.
I'll kill you, Sparrow.
You're all talk.
Hey! He broke free!
- Let's check it out! - Guard!
He broke free! Get him!
If they find you here,
I'll be in for it.
Is that all you've got to say?
You can't stay here.
Everyone's after you.
Don't worry.
I have a place to go.
Here.
I wanted to give you this.
My friend,
free me too.
Walk.
Get on the ground.
Who the fuck are you?
You can call me Manzo.
I'm... V...
Get out of here.
Ventre.
What is the Sparrowhawk looking for in these lands?
You're not after Palermo's gold as well, are you?
If you take us with you,
it's not just our silence you'll have.
You'll have our loyalty too.
I need your help in Mignano.
Then you're on your own.
If you try to screw me over
or escape,
I'll blow a hole in your chests.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
But I didn't understand.
You want to go to Mignano?
No one's ever left there alive.
Almost no one.
What are we gonna do in Mignano?
I got lost.
You came back.
You could have left.
You were free.
Why?
I'd rather go to hell than take a step backward.
Look who we have here.
The black widow.
What should we do with you, Assassin?
Make me a brigand.
Welcome to the Monacos.
BRIGANDS: THE QUEST FOR GOLD
I have a map. It contains a secret, but I can't figure it out.
COMING UP
From now on, the Monaco gang will be your family.
New people change gangs.
Alarm!
Risking our lives is our job.
"Risking our lives is our job."
As long as you betray each other, it will always be too easy for me.
It's the people of the South's gold.
It was. It's whoever finds it now.
The prophecy says a woman will save the South.
That gold is a symbol. We need it for our liberation.
They got her!
I can offer you anything that you want.
Wealth.
And the wealth you speak of is the one you are stealing from us.
In terms of enemies, we have but one.
- We need a plan. - I have an idea.
You'll get us all killed!
Brigands!
Don't give up now.
Prepare for battle!
