Episode 8
1 Previously on Mafiosa Jean-Michel, I'm pregnant! I'm having a boy.
We're going to have a baby boy! Isn't it a beautiful kid, uh? I've got a job on.
A big job.
Drugs? Everything's going according to plan.
And you? - Same here.
- I hope so.
What does that mean? It means, I hope so.
Abdel Suleiman Pracha.
As soon as he appears, notify us.
My heroin for your weapons.
Deal.
OK.
It'd be great to chat if you have five minutes.
We had been monitoring you all evening.
We were meant to beat you then shoot you.
Who sent you, Janco? Rocca.
What do you want from me? I have a job for you.
They have a job to do.
Wait for them to finish then kill them.
Why would I do that? Because otherwise, you're the one who dies.
It's time to use my experience for the benefit of others.
I've made the decision to stand as a candidate in the local elections in Santa-Castella.
- Synced and typed by chamallow - Rocca gave you that to shoot the killers? Why would I lie to you? Why didn't you do it? I didn't trust him.
Rocca Why come back? You could have left.
You're in danger.
That guy is the devil.
I'm in danger so what? I don't like that.
You know you make me hard, right? - Hey! - What? What's wrong with that? What are you prepared to do for me, Romeo? Anything.
You didn't eat anything today.
Are you OK? The administrative center has finished counting the votes.
Here are the cantonal election results for the constituency of Santa-Castella.
Number of registered voters: 652.
Number of actual voters: 576.
Pierre-Jean Ribaldi, Conservative, 149 votes.
Sandra Paoli, independent candidate, 415 votes.
Sandra Paoli has been elected in the first round.
Let's go.
- Feeling confident? - Yes.
OK, now or never.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Careful, shots are coming, no one moves.
- Hold on - Just shut up! Dear friends, I am happy to Mattei, don't move! Some breaking news has just come through.
Sandra Paoli, newly elected in Santa-Castella, has just been shot while giving an inaugural address.
This popular lawyer is said to be in danger.
Emotions are running high in Santa-Castella Ange-Marie Set her down here.
We have to undress her.
Mattei Now's not the time.
Come on.
Like the cavalry, you always arrive on time! A lucky escape.
Did you recognise the marksman? We only saw him at the last moment.
He was in the alley.
Any idea who they were? Rémi Andreani.
9mm Parabellum.
It should be easy to identify the weapon.
Yes, it should be easy.
You need an X-ray.
You might have some broken ribs.
Does it hurt? No, I'm fine.
Will Leandri pull through? From what we know, it seems likely.
Leandri got himself shot, me too.
He pulls through, me too Now we're even! Or this proves we have a common enemy.
Either way, it's the ideal moment to negotiate.
What would've happened if Andreani hadn't shot you where we told him to? Women know when guys like them.
The emperor is the person with all the power.
Politics, economy and communications.
Everyone loves an underdog who comes back fighting.
This makes things more human, even if it is rather pathetic.
Jean-Michel Going into politics, means I have to step back.
In what sense? I'll remain the head of the clan and will be the chief decision-maker, but I won't get my hands dirty.
Especially with Zamponi ready to ambush me.
Zamponi and Rocca.
- Those two vultures! - What are you getting at? What I'm getting at is, my left hand ignores what my right hand is doing.
I get the shit and you get the glory! Basically, yes.
I guess it's take it or leave it What about the job we're pulling right now? I don't want any fuck-ups.
When did this happen? About an hour ago.
Don't take too long, Sandra.
OK.
How is he doing? Not good.
Enough Jean-Michel The two of you need to leave.
Caterina I promised Promised what? I promised I wouldn't say anything.
Give her the knife.
It's your father's knife.
But This is François' knife.
François My son He is your father.
You're not his niece.
Do you understand now why things had to be this way? And now Leave me.
You too.
Leave me.
Oh, no, no, enough.
You're safe here.
It's too dangerous in town.
There's always the risk someone might rat you out.
So don't make any phone calls.
Can you hear the wind? Yes, I can hear it.
I don't like the wind.
It scares me.
It's like there's ghosts out there.
Our information is correct.
The bird is in his nest.
I'll smoke him out like a boar.
Victoria, eh? Yes, Victoria.
You've nothing to be ashamed of, son.
You acted like a man.
I don't think so.
Victoria wasn't a woman She was a man.
You understand? So? You loved her, right? You loved her and she cheated on you.
You killer her like a man.
No, it wasn't her I loved Give me that.
If he runs, shoot him.
An incendiary device.
Quickly, up into the mountains! Don't shoot! I order an immediate withdrawal.
Should we call the fire brigade? Do you want to send a fax claiming responsibility, too? How long have you known? Since the beginning.
And you never told me? What else haven't you told me? When your mother told François, - he wanted to kill her.
- Kill her? Why? He never wanted children.
François didn't love your mother.
It was just a fling for him.
A way to get revenge on his brother.
To get revenge? From the moment you were born, he absolutely adored you.
You were the apple of his eye.
Who stopped François from killing my mother? I did.
He's gone.
It's time to get moving.
Will you be OK? Yes.
I'll be fine.
I'm off.
You stay with her.
Why? Why? Because I'm telling you, that's why.
- Does anyone want a coffee? - Sure.
And a glass of water, please.
Here are some painkillers.
They're really strong.
Like the ones in the special forces.
What did you do in another life, Santoni? In another life? Were you a nurse? Not exactly.
What are you playing at, Santoni? Sandra, there's someone waiting to see you.
What's going on? Are you not well? Is it because of me? No, for once, it's not because of you.
Are you scared for the baby? I don't know.
Are you scared for Dad? No, why would I be scared for your father? Shall I make you a hot chocolate? With cornflakes? Go on, then.
Mom? Mom? Are you OK? Mom? - I think it's time.
- What should I do? Should I call the Call the hospital.
- Call the hospital? - Yes.
I offer you my sincerest condolences.
It's been a tough day.
I heard what happened to you.
Yes.
It looks like the day isn't over yet.
Right now, a fire is raging in the forest.
- At this time of year? - It's being fanned by the wind.
What's this got to do with me? Firstly, it's happening in your constituency.
I don't think your new constituents would appreciate your inaction.
And secondly? The fire was started by an incendiary device.
According to the initial evidence, the grenade was thrown under bizarre circumstances, during a very risky police operation.
If I am to believe my sources this operation was to capture, via hasty and questionable methods, a certain Rémi Andreani.
You know, for a while now, certain officers, of various ranks, seem to be convinced they have a divine right.
They have a tendency to disregard the law.
Rocca is one of these "chosen" officers.
They're shady, brutal, and very full of themselves.
What do you want from me? Nobody stands to gain anything from a restaurant being shot up or a public official being found guilty again.
.
For the time being, Rocca is doing more good than harm.
His reputation must not be tarnished.
With this in mind, we must stick to the official line.
The official line? The fire was caused by a questionable initiative carried out by an unruly nationalist group.
I am counting on you to go along with this.
A huge anti-drugs operation is underway on the island, today.
A massive operation.
- Is Rocca on the case? - No.
Our American friends don't deem him trustworthy enough.
You know we can't refuse our American friends right now.
The Americans? The operation is secretly led by them.
It's just standard delivery.
Standard delivery? Yes.
They like this kind of operation.
I wouldn't want you to find out through the press.
The Americans are on the case They know everything.
They know everything.
They organized it all.
I've fallen into their trap.
That bastard, Suleiman.
I knew he didn't add up Deal.
You have to warn Jean-Michel.
No Absolutely not.
They're listening.
If I do that, I'm done for.
And the whole clan will be finished.
There's no time to be sentimental.
What's wrong with me? What did you give me? Come on.
Perfect timing.
We did a good job.
It's been a long time since the French did a good job.
Not since June 1940, to be precise.
Carmen, I haven't got my phone.
Give me your phone, quickly.
I need to call Jean-Michel.
You can't make calls inside the hospital.
Go out and call your dad.
Tell him to come now! Relax, breathe.
MOM IS NOT WELL CALL QUICK Shit Come on, we're gonna get this started.
Push, push, push! The link-up has been established.
The exchange will soon take place.
Push, push, push Let's get moving, guys.
Hurry up.
Push, push you're doing great.
And breathe.
Hello? Dad? Get over here! Mom isn't doing well.
- Honey, I can't come now.
- What? - No! - Bingo! Jean-Michel Paoli is in place.
Listen Carmen, you'll have to get by on your own, OK? Dad, you have to get here! Come quickly: See you soon.
Breathe, breathe Everybody, action! Action! On your knees! Police! - Get down! - Mattei! No! Drop your weapons! We've got to run! Paoli! This is the RAID, get out of there! Fuck you! Come on! Jean-Mi! On the ground! Put your weapons down! On your knees! Get on your knees! Hands on your head! 6:10 am you've slept just over eight hours.
Did you bring me here? Jean-Michel? Arrested at the scene.
With Mattei and the others.
All alive.
They're at Bastia police station.
Your bodyguards cleared off when they heard about your brother.
They think this is the end of the Paoli clan.
What the hell did you give me? You were at the end of your tether.
Who ordered you to do that? You were at the end of your tether.
There was no other option.
No other option? No-one makes decisions for me, Santoni.
No-one!" A significant raid has taken place today.
A huge police operation has led to the arrest of a dozen or so men, suspected of arms and drug trafficking.
The DEA, the American Special Forces, in collaboration with French police, uncovered this network, which stretches as far afield as Afghanistan.
The man leading this well-organised group is none other than Jean-Michel Paoli, nephew of mafia boss François Paoli who was assassinated just a few months ago.
Take a seat, please.
I won't keep you very long.
All this republican courtesy it's such a drag! Will you have a drink? You took a huge risk warning me like you did.
A huge risk? No No.
Worst case scenario, it would've ruined Paris' operation.
Failed operations are hushed up.
No It's quite the opposite.
This leak served as a test.
Remember, we're talking about my brother here.
Your brother Not your brother.
You are an intelligent woman.
I suppose the choice presented you with a Catch-22.
If you warned him, you would go down, too.
If you didn't warn him You didn't warn him and demonstrated your intelligence.
So this is a kind of Entry pass? You could say that.
What can we do for Dominique Bianchini? Nothing that wouldn't make problems for Rocca.
Rocca? What do you know about Rocca? All there is to know.
I'm planning to defend my brother in court.
Perfect.
Brilliant.
What could be more noble? What could be more touching? It has all the elements of classical theater, the theater of Horace, Tacitus In Corsica, more than anywhere else, black and white, good and evil, legal and illegal, often go hand in hand, in the same family, without necessarily overlapping.
The dividing is a matter of personal moral standards.
And I was sticking to my own.
Your uncle He was always reluctant to overstep that line.
He was rooted in the past.
We approached him several times, but nothing.
He wasn't interested in joining us.
That's why he's dead.
Well, maître the past is the past.
The future needs positive people.
Realists.
People free from restraint.
And the present? What does the present need? You tell me.
I have a favour to ask.
You took your time I didn't have to come at all.
What happened? The police knew.
Who snitched? It was a trap.
- A trap? - You did nothing wrong.
The operation was masterminded from afar.
It was the American anti-drugs squad.
What happens now? Are you in danger? As long as we're alive, we're all in danger, right? Is Santoni in danger? Not as far as I'm aware.
This should be the end of the operation.
Unless they come after me.
Why? I'm not there to protect you anymore.
Did the police tell you? Tell me what? It's your son.
Do you want to see him? See him? How can I do that? In two hours, we're being transferred to Baumettes.
I don't think so.
It's not worth worrying about.
Would you believe me if I said Rocca planted incendiary devices in my home? Uh? I believe you.
False evidence.
It's common practice for the Colonial State.
But to prove it? Why frame you? After Santa-Castella, we knew the secret service were onto us.
We were being followed.
It's not tricky to work out.
Perhaps Rocca wanted to remind you he was still around.
He knew Ange-Marie was dead and made the most of it.
We weren't involved but now we're being framed.
Pure deviousness, politics Go figure! They need culprits, so they find them, I know how it is.
THe police, magistrates, businessmen, a handful of politicians Not many involved, but enough to control everything.
And you, too.
I started campaigning with Simeoni.
A show of force from France won't stop me.
I'm fighting for a world where there's no place for guys like Rocca.
Or people like you.
Dominique, drop the "holier than thou" act! You and I both know that the most political assassinations are just a random settling of scores.
When it isn't about racketeering or extortion.
- But the cause - The cause? You know full well, Dominique, there are no innocent people.
No, not innocent people.
Our approaches are contradictory.
My comrades and I, who share opinions on things, think one way but act in another.
We're torn between what we'd like and what is.
Maybe that's what Corsica is about.
Thinking one way, then acting in another.
Just like you, there's nothing new about us.
Anyway.
Maître, you'd be better off focusing on your brother.
We waited for your message last night.
You can wait for all I care.
You needed it like a hole in the head.
Just the type of remark that makes me happy to end your mission.
Now the party's over, I can tell you this.
I've never really liked you much.
Of course not.
You could never like anything human.
You? Human? Naturally, once you get home, you'll be made accountable.
It won't be easy.
There is a way to make amends.
You've got four hours before you fly off.
Or you could finish the job in style.
The head is still alive.
They say that as long as the head is alive, the octopus still lives.
Hey! Cow-boy! A goddamn asshole from the DEA! FREEDOM FOR PATRIOTS Use it well.
Thank you.
I'll build an empire for you, son.
He's gorgeous! You're going to be strong.
You are going to be strong, very strong Sandra Thank you.
I'll get out for you.
I'll get out for you, son.
Dad, are you really going there? Are you going to prison? Don't worry, sweetheart.
It's gonna be all right.
You know me, right? End of the road, right? In a way, yes.
Let's go.
Fast.
OK.
Get out.
Over there.
Why is he here? He was one of François Paoli's commandos.
Tell her, Janco.
François Paoli.
There were four of us.
There was me another Yugoslavian, but you didn't know him Milos Juric.
He was a paratrooper, too.
There was another guy, ex-Foreign Legion.
A guy called Laurent.
Laurent and Marianna.
They worked together.
They're dead.
Who sent you? Rocca is destroying all the evidence.
I'm the next one on the list.
Rocca? Yes, Rocca.
He was also a paratrooper.
He used to jump with us.
We'd often meet in the mess or in bars with ex-Legion guys.
Guys that had fought all over.
Rocca said there had to be a clean-up.
That was his word.
A "clean-up".
And did you clean up? Clean up? Yes, we cleaned up.
You always have to talk so much.
One day or another, we were destined to end up here.
How do you see this playing out, Sandra? You were the one behind the killing of François Paoli? Yes, it was me.
Why? What does it matter? You killed my father, Rocca.
Your father? For that alone, I can't let you live.
Who'll finish me off? Your henchman? He's not who he says he is.
Shut it, Rocca! He's a DEA agent on a special mission.
Shut it! He had orders to infiltrate the leadership of the Paoli clan.
I was onto you for a time.
From the moment Carmen Paoli got hold of your mobile.
It wasn't easy to unlock, but we managed it.
As we always do.
Don't miss, Lieutenant.
She's your target, not me.
You're programmed for this.
So what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for, Lieutenant? Why did you stop him? Maybe because you're more useful alive than dead.
You're taking a huge risk.
Even in Corsica, you don't shoot a police chief, just like that.
Others have been killed.
Don't get any ideas.
We're tolerating you.
Either you play along or you don't.
If you kill me, you go down.
And you brother stays in prison for a minimum of 15 years.
A tricky choice.
Me or your brother.
A tricky choice.
Now, I'd like to know "Throw yourself into the void" remember? I'd like to know if you're the type of woman to shoot someone in the back.
I'll let you do the cleaning up.

Your bodyguards cleared off when they heard about your brother.
They think this is the end of the Paoli clan.
What the hell did you give me? You were at the end of your tether.
Who ordered you to do that? You were at the end of your tether.
There was no other option.
No other option? No-one makes decisions for me, Santoni.
No-one!" A significant raid has taken place today.
A huge police operation has led to the arrest of a dozen or so men, suspected of arms and drug trafficking.
The DEA, the American Special Forces, in collaboration with French police, uncovered this network, which stretches as far afield as Afghanistan.
The man leading this well-organised group is none other than Jean-Michel Paoli, nephew of mafia boss François Paoli who was assassinated just a few months ago.
Take a seat, please.
I won't keep you very long.
All this republican courtesy it's such a drag! Will you have a drink? You took a huge risk warning me like you did.
A huge risk? No No.
Worst case scenario, it would've ruined Paris' operation.
Failed operations are hushed up.
No It's quite the opposite.
This leak served as a test.
Remember, we're talking about my brother here.
Your brother Not your brother.
You are an intelligent woman.
I suppose the choice presented you with a Catch-22.
If you warned him, you would go down, too.
If you didn't warn him You didn't warn him and demonstrated your intelligence.
So this is a kind of Entry pass? You could say that.
What can we do for Dominique Bianchini? Nothing that wouldn't make problems for Rocca.
Rocca? What do you know about Rocca? All there is to know.
I'm planning to defend my brother in court.
Perfect.
Brilliant.
What could be more noble? What could be more touching? It has all the elements of classical theater, the theater of Horace, Tacitus In Corsica, more than anywhere else, black and white, good and evil, legal and illegal, often go hand in hand, in the same family, without necessarily overlapping.
The dividing is a matter of personal moral standards.
And I was sticking to my own.
Your uncle He was always reluctant to overstep that line.
He was rooted in the past.
We approached him several times, but nothing.
He wasn't interested in joining us.
That's why he's dead.
Well, maître the past is the past.
The future needs positive people.
Realists.
People free from restraint.
And the present? What does the present need? You tell me.
I have a favour to ask.
You took your time I didn't have to come at all.
What happened? The police knew.
Who snitched? It was a trap.
- A trap? - You did nothing wrong.
The operation was masterminded from afar.
It was the American anti-drugs squad.
What happens now? Are you in danger? As long as we're alive, we're all in danger, right? Is Santoni in danger? Not as far as I'm aware.
This should be the end of the operation.
Unless they come after me.
Why? I'm not there to protect you anymore.
Did the police tell you? Tell me what? It's your son.
Do you want to see him? See him? How can I do that? In two hours, we're being transferred to Baumettes.
I don't think so.
It's not worth worrying about.
Would you believe me if I said Rocca planted incendiary devices in my home? Uh? I believe you.
False evidence.
It's common practice for the Colonial State.
But to prove it? Why frame you? After Santa-Castella, we knew the secret service were onto us.
We were being followed.
It's not tricky to work out.
Perhaps Rocca wanted to remind you he was still around.
He knew Ange-Marie was dead and made the most of it.
We weren't involved but now we're being framed.
Pure deviousness, politics Go figure! They need culprits, so they find them, I know how it is.
THe police, magistrates, businessmen, a handful of politicians Not many involved, but enough to control everything.
And you, too.
I started campaigning with Simeoni.
A show of force from France won't stop me.
I'm fighting for a world where there's no place for guys like Rocca.
Or people like you.
Dominique, drop the "holier than thou" act! You and I both know that the most political assassinations are just a random settling of scores.
When it isn't about racketeering or extortion.
- But the cause - The cause? You know full well, Dominique, there are no innocent people.
No, not innocent people.
Our approaches are contradictory.
My comrades and I, who share opinions on things, think one way but act in another.
We're torn between what we'd like and what is.
Maybe that's what Corsica is about.
Thinking one way, then acting in another.
Just like you, there's nothing new about us.
Anyway.
Maître, you'd be better off focusing on your brother.
We waited for your message last night.
You can wait for all I care.
You needed it like a hole in the head.
Just the type of remark that makes me happy to end your mission.
Now the party's over, I can tell you this.
I've never really liked you much.
Of course not.
You could never like anything human.
You? Human? Naturally, once you get home, you'll be made accountable.
It won't be easy.
There is a way to make amends.
You've got four hours before you fly off.
Or you could finish the job in style.
The head is still alive.
They say that as long as the head is alive, the octopus still lives.
Hey! Cow-boy! A goddamn asshole from the DEA! FREEDOM FOR PATRIOTS Use it well.
Thank you.
I'll build an empire for you, son.
He's gorgeous! You're going to be strong.
You are going to be strong, very strong Sandra Thank you.
I'll get out for you.
I'll get out for you, son.
Dad, are you really going there? Are you going to prison? Don't worry, sweetheart.
It's gonna be all right.
You know me, right? End of the road, right? In a way, yes.
Let's go.
Fast.
OK.
Get out.
Over there.
Why is he here? He was one of François Paoli's commandos.
Tell her, Janco.
François Paoli.
There were four of us.
There was me another Yugoslavian, but you didn't know him Milos Juric.
He was a paratrooper, too.
There was another guy, ex-Foreign Legion.
A guy called Laurent.
Laurent and Marianna.
They worked together.
They're dead.
Who sent you? Rocca is destroying all the evidence.
I'm the next one on the list.
Rocca? Yes, Rocca.
He was also a paratrooper.
He used to jump with us.
We'd often meet in the mess or in bars with ex-Legion guys.
Guys that had fought all over.
Rocca said there had to be a clean-up.
That was his word.
A "clean-up".
And did you clean up? Clean up? Yes, we cleaned up.
You always have to talk so much.
One day or another, we were destined to end up here.
How do you see this playing out, Sandra? You were the one behind the killing of François Paoli? Yes, it was me.
Why? What does it matter? You killed my father, Rocca.
Your father? For that alone, I can't let you live.
Who'll finish me off? Your henchman? He's not who he says he is.
Shut it, Rocca! He's a DEA agent on a special mission.
Shut it! He had orders to infiltrate the leadership of the Paoli clan.
I was onto you for a time.
From the moment Carmen Paoli got hold of your mobile.
It wasn't easy to unlock, but we managed it.
As we always do.
Don't miss, Lieutenant.
She's your target, not me.
You're programmed for this.
So what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for, Lieutenant? Why did you stop him? Maybe because you're more useful alive than dead.
You're taking a huge risk.
Even in Corsica, you don't shoot a police chief, just like that.
Others have been killed.
Don't get any ideas.
We're tolerating you.
Either you play along or you don't.
If you kill me, you go down.
And you brother stays in prison for a minimum of 15 years.
A tricky choice.
Me or your brother.
A tricky choice.
Now, I'd like to know "Throw yourself into the void" remember? I'd like to know if you're the type of woman to shoot someone in the back.
I'll let you do the cleaning up.
