Romanzo Criminale (2008) s01e02 Episode Script

The boy burnt alive in Turin yesterday was killed because Automania wanted revenge for Walter Rossi's murder.
What about it? Are you justifying fascist killings? No.
I'm not justifying anyone.
What a pain in the arse! All this talk about comrades and fascists! Put some music on.
These are hard times.
Haven't you heard? Political struggles.
Slow down, it's the next turnoff.
What's that car? What a pain.
It'll be a couple of lovers.
What else could I have done? They said they'd kill me.
And we won't? What do we do now? We wait.
- Freddo told us to dump them there.
- I've got things to do.
I've a girl waiting for me at home.
- I'll never do it again.
- You can be sure of that! Drive on, there's another clearing a kilometre along.
It won't make any difference to them.
- I'll give you 200, 300 million! - Get the tape, I've had enough! Sardo sends his regards.
- Great career we have with Lebanese! - From car wreckers to grave diggers.
That's deep enough.
You take this one.
Shit, we're filthy.
It's not only the dirt the stench of death clings to you.
There's only one way to get rid of that.
All you think about is girls.
This is a new one, she's at the Esquilino.
I get it, you need a lift.
Are we sure no one will find them here? Like who? Who'd think of coming here? - What are these? - Dunno, they gave me them at the bar.
But why did you keep them? They seemed interesting, they're really cheap.
- We have to leave here, right? - Yes, we'll buy a house with my pension and the job you don't have.
It was just a dream, Mum.
Can't I even dream now? Bufalo 125.
Game.
I've earned myself lunch, seeing I'm broke.
We can't touch that money, the bank notes are marked.
And the police are just waiting for us to spend it.
Then why did we bother kidnapping the baron? What are we going to do with all this money? We'll buy some stuff.
- Stuff? - Stuff.
Half of Rome shoots up heroin, the other half snorts cocaine.
We place 1.
6 billion worth of stuff on the market and treble it.
And where will you find it? At the local greengrocer? Puma.
He knows all the channels.
We're meeting him this afternoon.
In the meantime we'll break open the piggybank.
Dandi.
- Let's go outside, I want to tell you something.
- Come on.
I promised you the best pussy in Rome.
- In the Esquilino area? - So? The best gems are hidden close to home.
I want to give you a tip too.
Buy a house there, then they'll stop handing out these! Where are you going? They haven't built them yet! Patrizia.
They were all at Franco's bar.
Ruggero Buffoni, Dandi, Fierolocchio.
They were talking, handing notes to each other.
First they bumped the baron off and now Freddo and Lebanese are always together.
What are they up to? Drinking beer, playing snooker.
With 2 billion in their pockets? They'll have to use it for something.
I'll wait for them to do that.
Because what men unite, money separates.
Crap! The ransom's been paid but the baron's not been released yet.
That means they've killed him.
Maybe they want more money.
They'd have been in touch by now.
- Did you ask about the inside man? - The family and servants are clean.
What about the stables staff? The only one with a record is Remo Ghirlandi, known as Satana, an illegal bookmaker who used to meet the baron at the races.
But that doesn't mean he was the inside man.
Male corpse found in Focene wood.
Age? Elderly, but the body is charred.
The baron doesn't come home, and we have a charred body.
What do you say? - Commissioner Scialoja.
- Hello.
Is it him? He's not tall enough, and this looks more like a settlement of accounts.
They tied him up then set fire to him.
Have you identified him? There's no ID and no fingerprints.
Try to identify the car.
What are you doing here? - Did the chief assign you this case? - No, I was only He assigned it to me.
Do you want to know who did this to him? Communists.
Your friends.
They're the ones who burn people, like that boy in Turin.
Fuck you Rizzo! The corpse is all yours.
Go back to the kidnapping, you're doing well there too! You're in a hurry.
- Patrizia? - And you? Dandi.
Are you coming in or must we do it here? How much to - That'll be enough.
- There's two million here.
Take off your clothes.
What did I tell you the other day? We work as a team here.
And in teamwork you can't invade other people's areas.
If you play full back you can't play midfield.
And what's more, you have to pass the ball to the better player.
And I don't see any goal scorers here! Seeing the results with the baron.
That's not true.
Look! Where did I put it? This is a previous offender who could have been the inside man.
Give me everything you have.
Good, now we can hand this over to Rizzo.
But you can't The baron might still be alive.
It's better is more co-operative people take care of this case.
Like Rizzo.
Goodbye.
Well? How was it? I want to know.
Apart from the speed? You're coarse and all you think about is yourself.
Making love takes two.
But it doesn't matter anyway.
You teach me then.
- To do what? - To make love, as a couple.
Lessons will cost.
Money's no problem.
Then we'll start straight away.
Lesson number one.
Go and shower.
I have to run now.
- You're beautiful when you smile.
- I thought you had to go? I'll call you.
Whenever you want, Dandi.
You can get on it, it won't bite.
Do I have to start it for you too? I I'm speechless.
Good.
Now take it for a run.
I'll go and show it to Roberta.
There he is, the jinx.
I'd throw away the key to that room.
He's taking ages with that Vespa.
I can still feel her hands on me.
What's so special about her? Does she have two tongues and four tits? You'd think you were a virgin.
The you know how I feel.
Here he is now.
Get a move on, Puma hasn't got all day.
1.
6 billion? Do you know where to place it? We'll think about that later.
- Tell us who can get hold of it.
- You don't have much choice.
- The Mafia, through Terribile.
- Who can go fuck himself! Then that leaves Sardo, who's with the Camorra.
- I thought he was on the run.
- He moves when it's worth his while.
And you'll make it worth his while.
Can you arrange a meeting? I need a bit of time.
- How long? - A couple of days.
OK.
One other thing, Puma.
Can you mind this for us? But only until the meeting.
Then you and your money can vanish.
Come on darling, are you still angry? - What happened to Buffoni? - Which one? Sergio.
I haven't seen him.
Try the amusement arcade.
You know you're the only one.
Hang up, Puma's going to call.
My life is empty without you.
- Want a lift? - No, thanks.
We'll give you one anyway.
Get in.
Terribile wanted to remind you of the money you owe him.
20 million, hardly peanuts.
I know, he's right.
I'll pay in a couple of days.
He wants it now.
But if you do a little job, you're even.
- What job? - A quick job.
Quick and painless.
Sounds very generous to me.
OK, I'll think about it.
You have until tomorrow.
And put it around.
Terribile needs people.
You won't get far with Lebanese.
What a puppet you are! All you need now are some strings.
Go to hell! Well? Puma's arranged a meeting with Sardo.
in an hour at Trentadenari's home.
Sardo jumped at it.
As soon as he smelled money Who is this Trentadenari? One of his cronies.
A guy from Naples with a habit of changing sides.
My compliments, nice house.
I should think so with what the architect cost.
Sure you don't want a drink? - Yes, we want to talk business.
- And what is this business? 1.
6 billion of stuff.
1.
2 in heroin, the rest in cocaine.
Not bad! - And where will you place it? - That's our problem.
No it's mine too.
You would cover half of Rome and we're talking lots of money.
- What else do you want? - I want in.
I'll get hold of the stuff and you'll give me 70 percent of the profits.
.
.
plus 10 percent of the takings.
Forget I asked.
Good day to you all.
I'll talk to him.
I'll sort it out.
Are you crazy? After all our efforts If I'd wanted a loan shark, I'd have gone to Campo De' Fiori.
- 70.
.
- We could have played for time.
Now where will we get hold of 1.
6 billion of stuff? Don't worry, I'll find a way.
I don't follow you.
Terrible's out and Sardo's offer won't do.
It wasn't an offer, it was a robbery.
We'd have been slaves to the Camorra.
- Well? - Who do we buy the stuff off? - I have an idea.
- What's that? Can't we even ask you that? - What's this idea, Lebanese? - Tell us.
- I want to show you something.
- Where did you get to? Not right now.
Just a sec.
It's outside.
Three litre turbo.
The engine sings better than Donna Summer.
The dream of your life.
Did you pay in cash? My credit card hasn't arrived yet.
Take it back and get your money back.
- Are you crazy? - No, you're crazy.
We said no big purchases, the bank notes are marked.
It's like leaving a calling card at the shop.
Take it easy.
Come on, get in.
I'll be behind you.
I'll come with you, I need to talk about something.
I can't cancel the sale, I've already sent it through to head office.
Check the clock.
I've only done 20km.
If you want, this is a branch of ours that deals in second-hand cars.
You'll get nearly all of it back.
- You don't understand.
- No, you don't understand.
We sell cars, we don't hire them.
Now if you'll excuse me I knew it, they refused.
All these problems! By the way, I want to tell you something.
What is it? The field where we buried the Cannizzaros, they're building a housing estate on it.
As soon as they take the money to the bank, we're screwed! We'll have to pull off a robbery, right now.
I'll come with you, then I'll shoot that shit.
No, take Fierolocchio to the building site to move the Cannizzaros.
- I don't think you understand.
- I'm sorry, You've used up your ration of mistakes.
OK.
If you get the money back, can I keep the Porsche? No, it's going to a scrap yard.
One last time, where's the money? Take that iron out, he might just tell you.
He's not co-operating, perhaps he's deaf.
Can you hear us now? It's in the bathroom, on top of the water tank.
Let's go.
- Is it ours? - I recognise the bands.
We tricked them.
Shall we celebrate? He was peeing his pants.
- Well, it wasn't sweat.
- Come on! I thought we said it was the last time we'd dig a grave.
Don't remind me.
Crap! We've got 1.
6 billion that we can't touch.
.
.
until Lebanese comes up with an idea.
And the Porsche has to be scrapped! They can all go and fuck themselves, them and Lebanese! I hear Terribile is looking for new people for simple jobs.
No.
Terribile can go fuck himself too! I'll take my money from the Porsche and say farewell.
Come on, get digging.
- The Cannizzaros? - We buried them elsewhere.
Nobody will disturb them until Judgement Day.
So I can have my money from the Porsche back? This is going in the kitty.
Lebanese Consider it a fine, OK? The rules are the same for all.
Those who break them, pay up.
What's this business about Terribile? It's not that simple, We'd better talk to Freddo first.
20 million to Terribile? How did you run up that debt? Poker, dice, horse racing.
It's not only that, the gang is breaking up.
All Lebanese talks about are ideas, investments, but he doesn't know what to do with the money.
And what's this job for Terribile? There are no easy jobs.
I have to give Gemito an answer.
Wait until I've spoken to Lebanese.
Well? You called me.
What do you want? No, what do you want? Time's up.
What's your idea? I don't have one.
I haven't had time with all these mistakes.
OK.
That's all I wanted to know.
Freddo.
It would have been nice eh? See you.
It's no tragedy.
We still have 1.
5 billion.
See you, Dandi.
Bye.
- Hello Dandi, how are things? - Great.
Do you want to bet on three races? It won't pay much but it's guaranteed.
Nearly all these guys have a record.
Is that so? Forgive my asking, but why all this effort? Do you want to steal my case? I'm just suggesting a lead.
A lead? A bookie who passed a few tips to the baron now and then? The Marsigliesi are behind the kidnapping.
They've been behind bars for years! Not all of them, it seems.
You dragged the Camorra into a murder near Rome! Enough! Scialoja, Rizzo's taking care of the Rosellini case now.
Right? As you see fit.
- You asked for teamwork.
Well, what did Lebanese say? - Nothing.
- Well then? The gang doesn't exist anymore.
It's every man for himself.
Shall I tell Terribile you're interested too then? Go fuck yourself! You weren't in such a hurry this time.
And you had more worries.
Things aren't working out at work.
Perhaps I got too big for my boots, and the others more than me.
I'm clever at getting rid of worries Your time's not up yet.
They nearly got themselves killed.
- It's not by fault - Who bought him the scooter? - What do you want? - Keep away from him.
Gigio's studying, he's found a decent girl, he has a future.
He mustn't think he can get along with the money his brother gives him.
- You set a good example.
- Not that again! If you're angry with me, take it out on me, but leave Gigio out of this, don't let him end up like you.
Are you going back to town? For my parents, I don't want them to worry.
And I'm fine, it doesn't hurt any more.
Thanks for the lift.
If I'm not back for lunch, my dad gets angry I can sleep out, but the family has to be together to eat.
He's right.
Two minutes with my father and already I sound like him.
Drop me here.
Where is it you live? Around the corner.
You don't want to be seen, eh? Best that they don't worry.
Let's do things properly right? There.
You never had an accident.
Thanks.
Is this where you hide out? I come in peace.
I'm unarmed.
I've come to see the young Atilla getting ready to take Rome.
- With three beers and a joint.
- What do you want? I heard how you treated Sardo.
You didn't play your cards right.
You can't walk off slamming the door behind you at that level.
You should have made another bid until no one could see you.
Are you here to talk poker? No.
I've come to make you an offer.
I'll get you that billion and a half of stuff.
But instead of 70 percent, 60.
Without messing around.
What do you reckon? Is that clear? If not, I can repeat it.
Don't get too cocky.
Your firm has died.
Soon you won't even have this wheeled toilet! Understand? Nothing.
Go fuck yourself! What are you doing here? Had you nothing better to do? The toilet at home is blocked and I didn't know where to do it.
What a fine sight! Everyone knows your caravan is the best bog in Rome.
What's up? Do we have to do everything together? I wanted to stick it up Terribile's arse! Two billion's worth of stuff.
You could have sold it for eight.
Bought it back, sold it again He even came here to bust my arse.
To my home.
After a year we wouldn't have known what to do with all that money, And gave me a sermon! "You didn't play your cards right".
We were nearly there.
All it needed was the first load.
No one would have been able to stop us.
I don't want to stop now.
"You can't walk off and slam the door at that level, raise the bid until no one can see you.
" Fuck, that's how its done.
We only have to put in a higher bid.
- You wasted my time last time.
- Let's get it over with.
This is the idea.
Instead of 1.
6 billion we buy 3 billion worth We'll place it in half the time but we want 50 percent - Who'll pay for the second delivery? - You will, but that's all you do.
Then you can sit here and count the money.
Let me get this straight, you want to place three billion worth of stuff? By the end of the month, all inclusive.
They're bluffing.
Lust look, they'll soon break.
On the other hand we risk very little and we'll earn a lot.
Let's give this madness a go.
But if you screw up, you're dead.
All of you.
So you came to some agreement? You don't seem very enthusiastic.
Reckon we'll screw up? I don't know.
But if you pull it off, you'll make a load of money.
Too much for too many people.
We'll become the masters of Rome.
Rome doesn't want any masters.
You'll end up tearing each other to pieces.
You're not yourself, Puma.
Once you'd have jumped on the bandwagon.
I'm getting out.
I want to vanish from Rome.
Come here, darling.
And God willing I'll start a family.
Don't forget the sugared almonds.
Thanks for everything.
Thank you.
Right This is our last chance.
If you don't feel up to it, take your share and go.
Because if you stay, you'll have a month of hell.
You'll have to use your hands and tread on a lot of toes.
Watch your backs and sleep with your eyes open.
But then this bag won't be big enough to hold all the money you'll make.
Well? Who's in? OK.
What do I do with Terribile? The Gemitos are expecting me in an hour.
Look who's here! What are you doing here Where's Fierolocchio? He's not coming.
He sent this instead.
20 million.
Are you playing loan shark now? I'm just helping a friend, if you can understand that.
Tell your boss to resign himself.
None of our men will be working for him any more.
Well? Piece of cake.
Now comes the hard bit.
Lucky guy who spots it.
We could use a joint.
Let's go.
The calm before the storm.
When the goods arrive, we're screwed.
Eight of us selling that mountain of stuff.
How the fuck will we do it? We can shoot it into our veins, if Sardo's going to kill us Seeing it's the last joint, let me smoke it in peace.
Sorry, I didn't mean to.
Fancy a game? Go on! Our ball.
- I'm Andreas.
- Mario.
- Fabrizzio.
- Pietro.
No solo pieces, remember we're a team.
Goal! Yes? Hello Canton.
A marked banknote? Where? You're sure it's from the Rosellini kidnapping? OK, I'll be right there.
They've finally screwed up!
