- [officer 1] Keep back, please. Keep back.
- [man] It's impossible to live here.
- First the pizzeria, then the statue.
- [murmuring]
[officer 2] Please, everyone, stay back.
Clear the area. Keep back.
- Back.
- [officer 2] Do you know who it was?
[car horn blares]
[officer 2] We're trying to find out
what happened.
- Please, don't stop here.
- [man] How can nobody have seen anything?
[officer 2] Move away.
Unbelievable. They were called
this morning and have arrived now.
What fucking saw do you need
to cut that beast's head off?
I think that's easy, bro.
[Sharif] Maybe.
Or maybe someone's messing around
in our hood, and we'll be blamed for it.
Hey.
Guys.
[officer 3] Hey.
- You made it clear who's in charge here.
- We didn't do shit.
[officer 3] They owe you thanks.
We could never bear
those shitty immigrants.
[chuckling] Brother, I wonder why
you always come bothering us.
What did you say? Come on. Let's go.
- Wait a minute.
- [officer 3] You too.
- Let's go, everyone. Come on!
- Shit.
[downbeat electronic music plays]
- [officer 3] ID please.
- [officer 4] Let's see what comes up.
Every time, you stop us.
Every time the same story.
- Here.
- I need to go to work.
Empty this bag.
- There's nothing here.
- Empty it.
[officer 3] We know who's trouble.
- [woman] Really?
- Who is it?
[officer 3] You're related, right?
You can't even understand Italian.
[officer 4] Legs wide.
Watch out, officer.
There's a secret weapon there.
Well done. You should be a comedian.
[man] Accidents happen,
but we're here to help.
Are you going to rethink our offer
to move to Baranzate?
[Sandokan] You still here, vultures?
You have some fucking nerve
wanting to cash in now.
Go away! Go!
I'm not having it. I'll reopen this dump
as sure as my name is Sandokan.
[traffic noise]
[glass shards scraping]
[phone chiming]
[eerie synth music plays]
[Sharif] Hey, Zero. We need to talk.
I saw you last night in the parking lot.
Don't deny it.
I won't leave you alone.
Dietmar.
Could you let me sleep here tonight?
No, I can't.
It's just been painted.
You'll make a mess.
- Fidel Castro pissed on me.
- [Omar] Who?
I don't have time
for your jokes tonight, okay?
[Omar sighing]
Go and lie on the Barrio's grates.
You'll get some fresh air from the subway.
Nobody will bother you there.
You don't understand.
[R&B music plays]

[Omar] In Milan,
there are 1,937 kilometers of roads.
I don't know how many squares.
Small roads, big roads, thousands of them.
I don't know them all. But this one,
I've known it by heart from day one.
- Is this the doorman?
- [man] How can I help?
I'd like to leave
a package for Anna Ricci.
[R&B music plays]
Where's some? Where some? ♪
No no, no no ♪
[Omar] It's the oldest story in the world.
She is special
He isn't
Maybe there's no hope for them.
But I think
they'd be really good together.
MAYBE THERE'S NO HOPE FOR THEM
I said I'll make some changes
And you said you'll do the same thing ♪
I THINK THEY WOULD BE REALLY GOOD TOGETHER
And I don't wanna fight my king ♪
I had you when you was weak ♪
You caught me on my knees ♪
Don't pressure me for some kids ♪
And I won't pressure you for marriage ♪
I know it's never the right time ♪
But we gotta do things on our time ♪
[indistinct chatter, cheering]
Sometimes I still doubt myself ♪
But at least now I love myself ♪
- Hi.
- Hi.
- This is for you.
- Thanks, ma'am.
- What would you like?
- Couscous and meat.
[muffled music plays over speakers]
[friend] Mmm.
That's enough.
You can go.
- Thanks, Mom.
- [friend chewing] Thank you.
[crowd cheering on TV]
[indistinct chatter]
Hi, Pie.
[friend] Yup, yup! Mmm.
- Wow.
- No answer. Fuck, he isn't coming.
Give him his bracelet back,
and he'll come.
How did you get his number, bro?
I got it at the pizzeria.
I'll give him the bracelet when he comes.
Guys, I'm not a thief.
- I wonder what it's like to be invisible.
- My father vanished before I was born.
That's the real invisible man.
Isn't it weird, guys,
that we've only noticed this guy just now?
I mean,
- who the fuck has seen him before?
- [Sharif laughs]
Hang on
- Maybe it's a sign.
- Like what?
I don't know, bro,
like something supernatural.
Maybe the end of the world.
- [watchers exclaim]
- Hey bro!
[watchers groan]
Not even a juju will make you win tonight!
Why the fuck are you supporting Ghana?
- You know the Italian anthem by heart!
- Look who's talking!
You're so pale that in Nigeria
they'd think you're a tourist.
- [all laughing]
- [friends] Oyinbo!
[indistinct yelling]
[Awa] What an amazing pipe!
[Awa and Roby cheering]
Yes!
[Roby] Did you see that hit?
Don't make so much noise.
Dad's sleeping.
[Roby] Maybe I should go.
Thanks, Omar.
I don't know what I'd do without Awa.
Bye.
[kissing]
What was Roby on about?
Omi,
I told her that you paid the rent.
Dad took your money.
[Awa] No, Omi, please!
[Omar grunting]
[dramatic music plays]
Why did you do it?
You should have asked me!
I told you that you needed to help.
Is it clear?
- [static buzz]
- [crowd groans]
[suspenseful music plays]
[car horns honking]
[father] Awa, let's go see
what's going on.
[switch clicking]
Listen, someone has wrecked everything.
It'll take at least two weeks.
- Two weeks?
- Do you know the fridge isn't working?
Look,
if you pay, it'll be quicker.
It'd be about €10,000.
- [murmurs]
- Are you serious? Who's got €10,000?
Then wait for the council's paperwork.
Listen, nobody's going to pay here.
Go and sort this out now.
What are you saying?
Ask yourselves why these things
only ever happen to you here.
"You"? What the fuck are you saying
that we broke it ourselves?
- What are we, animals?
- [friend] Calm down, bro.
- We'll find the money!
- Sharif.
- We'll find the money!
- Sharif, calm down.
- [friend] Drop it.
- [mother] Relax.
- [friend] Calm down.
- [man] Go away.
How dare he?
[crowd murmuring angrily]
Ten thousand euros.
Come with me.
Sharif, where are you going?
[loud knocking]
- [Sharif] Hi, Zero.
- Hi.
[Omar gasping]
- Give it to me.
- Fuck, bro. Keep cool.
What the fuck do you want from me?
[electronic music plays]
Excuse me.
Bro, listen.
We need €10,000 for the meters now.
[Omar] So?
So, I was thinking
that you could give us a hand.
- Zero, Barrio's Robin Hood.
- [friend] So you can really disappear?
Let's clean out some motherfucker.
Zero, seriously,
if you take €50 from his wallet,
he won't even notice.
- Honestly.
- Yeah, right.
Tell him you didn't really vanish, go on.
[Sharif] Listen, bro.
My mom says we'll have to move.
They're kicking us all out. Do you get it?
Can you give me my bracelet?
[music stops]
[Sharif sighs]
Here. This is yours. We're not thieves.
That's right. We're not thieves.
- Anyway, beautiful home.
- [woman] Yes.
[Sharif laughing]
[jazzy electronic music plays]
Guys.
[Sharif] You could've drawn bigger tits.
Is this your girl?
- I wish.
- [Sharif] Tell me more, bro.
It's nothing. I left a drawing for her,
but she didn't get back to me.
[Sharif laughing]
I mean, you have her number,
and you left her a drawing?
[woman] He's in love.
Bro, listen up.
Have you ever had a girlfriend, yes or no?
- Show me what you wrote.
- I didn't write to her. I mean
- What the fuck, bro. Make something up.
- [music stops]
[grunting] Let her feel you are here
for her!
- [laughter]
- [friend] Got it?
[friend mouth pops, grunts]
- I'll show you how to do it.
- What do you know?
I'm a girl. Maybe I have an idea?
[Omar] I'll do it. I'll do it.
- I'll do it now.
- [woman] Okay. Off you go.
Guys, he just wrote her "Hey."
[others laughing]
- So what?
- [softly] Little puppy.
[phone chiming]
She says we could meet.
[others laughing]
You little genius!
- Come here.
- [woman] He's a little genius.
- Bravo!
- What did I tell you?
- Okay.
- What did I tell you?
Bro, see? It was easier than you thought.
No need to thank us.
That's what friends are for.
Yes, but what friends?
- We don't even know each other.
- [Sharif] Okay, bro.
Meet your new friends.
This is Sara,
our music producer.
I'm like a squid spitting ink
Over the beat I rap, I'm iconic ♪
[Sharif] You must have heard
of the Basement,
her recording studio.
You're not an Alfa
Just a one-gear Giulietta! ♪
[feedback]
[Sharif] Milan's rap scene started there.
[jazzy electronic music plays]
[Sharif] And if you need a lift,
well, she's the only one with a car.
- [Sara sighs]
- This is Momo. He's basically her brother.
[Sharif] They met as little kids
in a foster home.
Bro, Momo is a rock.
He isn't scared of anything.
[Momo whimpering]
[mimics gunfire] Ah-ah!
And then there's Innocent.
We call him Inno.
He'll soon be on TV
singing the national anthem.
[Sharif] He's a magician with the ball
at his feet.
He's a real star player.
So, bro,
will you help the hood?
If Beale Street could talk?
Cool title.
To me if the street could talk,
it'd say, "Do it."
[Sharif] Help your neighborhood.
Do it.
- Mm.
- [Sharif] See you, Zero.
[Omar sighing]
[door shutting]
[phone clicking, swooshing]
[Omar chuckles]

[melodic music plays]
[Omar] Hello.
Omar!
- [Anna] Hi.
- Hi.
Come upstairs.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Is this your place?
I wish. It's Carolina's.
I needed a place for this model.
It's too big for my house. It's huge.
[chuckling]
[laughing] I've never been
in a comic before.
"She is special, but he isn't."
Not really. You are special, not me.
[Omar] No, no.
[chuckling]
You are special, not me.
- No. You're special, not me.
- [female voice] Oh yes!
We're on the list.
Poker night, super glam
No, super exclusive.
VIP list, guys. The Cathedral,
do you know what I mean?
- Yeah, and do you know who's the owner?
- We're looking for new places.
She's worried about bumping into Edo,
so I thought about this Please.
Girls, she's a fucking mobster.
I'm not coming. That's it.
- The prize is 20-30,000 euros.
- [Anna] Who cares.
[folk music plays]
You can convince her.
Come on. It'll be a cool night.
Come on. Yes?
- [phone chiming]
- [Omar gasping]
[Sharif] How'd it go with the girl?
[women chuckling]
How did it go with the girl?
[Omar] I'm sorry. I have to go.
Bye, Anna.
Bye.
[friends] Bye.
[Anna] Omar.
[friend] Damn.
[Anna] Omar, wait.
Anyway, you are special and not me.

[Omar] If the street could talk,
it'd say, "Do it."
"Open your eyes and look around you
if you want the world to see you."
[indistinct chatter]
[music rises]
[Omar] Dietmar tried to tell me.
And I didn't get it.
You can't let go of the people you love.
[somber melodic music plays]
[Omar] The world looks at you
if you look at it.
It looks after you if you look after it.
And now,
it's my turn.
[Sharif] Guys, I've got it.
How about setting up a charity concert?
- [Sharif] We could make some money.
- Yes, let's call Marra.
Do you know him?
[Sara] No sound system, no services.
It's impossible. Use your brain.
Let's hear your ideas then. Hm?
Mm.
[Sara] Look for some work?
[Omar] Hey.
Whoa!
[Momo laughing]
You're wearing your drawings t-shirt,
the one with the zero.
[both laughing]
- [Momo] So it was true
- I've got a plan.
- I know how to get the money.
- Okay.
[Sharif] You're the genius.
Can you play poker?
