You did a good job, Masino.
Congratulations.
They'll definitely be happy back in Sicily.

Ladies and gentlemen, naow to the next lot.
The painting on my right is a work of great prestige.
It is a very expensive And now ladies and gentlemen, another piece of great interest.
Despite its small dimensions.
It is a work that I'm sure will capture your interest.
This charming miniature from the 1900s is a work from the Antidrug Department and I am Captain Simon Barth.
Nobody move! This is a police operation! Stay calm, don't worry.
We apologize for the interruption.
Nobody move for any reason.
Bastards! Sit down.
To any of you who by chance might have an object like this please stand and go to the stage with your arms raised.
One at a time, please.
All exits are under surveillance.
Repeat, all exits are under surveillance.
Hey you, sit down too.
That's the way.
Good.
Quiet and orderly.
Do you have a warrant? And can you tell me whose brilliant idea this was? It was mine.
And I organized this scene just for you, Calogero Barretta.
You're the star of the show arround here.
Attention, you two Block off the area at the entrance to the docks.
Quickly! This afternoon, the police interrupted a secret auction hall in New Jersey.
This operation iz the end of a long investigtion which saw the Italian authorities join forces with those of our own country.
Some unconfirmed sources talk about the arrest of important Sicilian bosses.
We are now awaiting the arrival of the Italian judge Silvia Conti the most rigid and tireless headhunter on the Italian anti-Mafia force.
As a result of her tenacity and experience, this operation represents, as we just mentioned, the completion of a long investigation.
The FBI collaboration in some facets of the investigation helped discover Mafia connections spread out across several states in America.
Now we are trying pull in some of the characters of this important police operation.
Here comes the FBI official, the one who coordinated the operation.
Excuse me, is it true that among those arrested is a member of the Mafia high command? - Maybe - Maybe? Simon? Simon Listen Davide, you have to leave Italy for a little while.
We'll get you on a plane that leaves tonikght, okay? It is you.
There's not much traffic toniht.
Everyone must be at the Yankees game.
David are you allright? - What's wrong? - Huh? - Answer.
- Nothing wrong.
Seriously.
Bad news on TV? No.
It's just that I just saw a ghost.
Watch out! Run! Wait! No No! No! No! My baby! This is your ticket for Palermo.
See, this proves you were in Italy yesterday.
You arrived in Sicily on the 4:40 flight and you left at down.
The next morning.
You only stayed a few hours.
- Why? - I had to meet a woman.
Her name? You don't tell a woman's name.
Where did you spend these few hours with her? In bed.
Simon! - How are you? - Davide! - Stay there! It's realy Davide! - What the hell are you doing! - I want you to tell me a few things.
- What do you want to know? The truth.
About everything.
Even about you.
For all these years I though they had killed you.
But instead you're here, holding a gun and you even want to use it.
Why? Because someone sold me, Simon.
You.
- What are you talking about? - That night all those years ago, on the plane you put ne, which landed in Zurich they tried to kill me.
A bullet broke my arm, here.
They tried to kill me.
A bullet broke my arm, here.
I managed to get away, first to Paris, then to Talone.
But hey found me again.
No one knew where I was except for Marta, to whom I wrote a letter which I asked to be read only by you.
There was someone in the secret service who, at the time, wanted you dead.
By the time that letter reached Marta they'd already read it.
You could see it had been opened and re-sealed.
That's why I came looking for you.
The Mafia wanted me dead! How were the secret services involved? At the time, they were also involved in that "something" which ypu and Giorgi's group were also involved in.
Even at the Anti-Narcotics division, there was someone high up who wanted to keep it all quiet.
For eight years they kept me in Hong Kong.
Wanted to keep it all quiet.
For eight years they kept me in Hong Kong.
Why don't you make up something better? Fine.
I'll think of something better.
Good for you Davide You figured it all out.
I betrayed you.
And now what do I do? Go on, tell me.
- You shoot, Simon.
- That's right.
And then? Then you have to get rid of the body.
Good.
Very good.
So, shall we finish it off then? I was your friend.
And I still am now.
Think what you like.
If you are sure of what you say, the gun is over there on the bed.
How long has it been since you stopped? Since I start seeing spiders on the walls.
You realy scared me.
And Marta? Did you ever see her again? Yes, the last time I was in Sicily, a few years ago.
She got married.
And the kid? This year he should be off to college.
I have only seen him once.
He has a scar here: the bullet burn.
- And how is he.
Okay? - Yes, he's well.
He's also quite handsome.
I'm sorry about before.
Anyway I'm working in New Jersey now, at a place called Caruso's.
It's behind the station.
If you are ever down there It's behind the station.
If you are ever down there Sure.
I've changed my name.
Now I'm Dave Dave Licata.
- Are you alone? - I'm with Kate.
Who are you? What are you doing here? I came to see someone.
Stop, don't move! Who are you? A kidnapper or a cop? Who are these two? Your guardian angels? In a way, yes.
Excuse us, you had us a bit worried.
You're the Italian judge who made all those arrests, right? - Why, do you know me? - I admire you greatly.
Now can I put my hands in my pockets? Sure.
Good luck.
To all three of you.
Have a rest, see you later on.
I swear Corrado, I swear I wont't stop until I've found them All of them.
New York's turned to shit in the last few years.
It's full of blacks and cops.
Then why didn't you stay in Sicily? - The smoke annoys me.
- Really? I'm sorry.
Really.
Hey, where the fuck are you taking me? You're talking too much, Don Calogero.
Save your breath.
Come on, come with me.
Someone wants to speak to you, Who? Me.
On the March 20th, 1989, you fled from Italy.
Hours earlier you were under a warant for arrest along wizh the other Mafia members.
Who informed you of the judicary action taking place? I didn't acctualy flee Italy.
I came to America to see my son, Freddy.
- Isn't that allowed? - Who informed you, answer me! I thought I was being clear.
Clear as water.
I've been in America for six years, and I have a son here who wanted to see me for months.
It was just a coincidence So it was just a coincidence that while you were all fleeing a Mafia chief assasinated Corrado Cattani! Oh, I don't know anything about that Cattani fellow.
Anyway, he was someone who was always looking for deaht.
Do you know how many enemies he made in all those - years breaking peoples's balls? - Yes, I know.
You were one of them.
I want to know who killed Inspector Cattani.
I want to know if the Mafia ordered it or if it came from someone higher up from a I don't know what you're talking about.
The Mafia, "a hidden force".
What does that mean? Things need to be explained clearly to me.
Let's go.
Let's go see if we can refresh your memory.
Who is this old guy? Do you confirm what you have told me in the preliminary hearing about.
.
,.
Calogero Barretta? He became part of the Mafia high command in 1980.
He was affiliated with the Sante Accardo family.
Then he came to America.
The murders of Bonfanti, Fanali and Centella, he organized them.
You want to drag us to hell with you? So, it's clear you know Antonio De Pesis, the Puppeteer.
What Puppeteer? He should be called a puppet! He's being manipulated by your hands, dear lady.
That is really stupid.
You've become a court jester, and they'll give you a prize! Listen Barretta, if you haven't worked it out yet, you're in big trouble.
Yesterday in Miami, we arrested your son with 4 kilos of heroin.
You can talk to the American judges about this.
I want to know who ordered the murder of Cattani! That night of March 20th, 1989 I was busy.
Like you said I was busy getting out of Italy.
And you think I realy had time to think about Corrado Cattani? Cattani meant nothing to me.
He was only a cog in the wheel.
But someone was thinking about him.
Who? Even the others in the Mafia high command were trying to get away.
I asked: who? Who ordered it? Well, who? The Baron.
Giovanni Linori.
Is Giovanni Linori part of the Mafia high command? No.
He always played on his own.
And he played big.
Why didn't you ever mentioned Baron Linori to me? Well? - Well, why didn't you? Shamefull! - Take him away! We're all dead anyway! All dead! So, why didn't you ever mentioned Baron Linori? I told you only about the Mafia.
Linori is not the Mafia.
He is one of those names I never wanted to mention.
The ones who are hidden in a deck of shuffled cards.
- Explain yourself better! - You see, Judge, the Mafia is strong, it knows many things.
But it can't be everywhere.
Instead, there are others, who can get to where they want.
I'm scared.
If they want to they'll kill my daughter! So, if you put me on the record under the name of Giovanni Linori, I won't sign! Davide! You forgot this.
Hop in.
Come with me.
Do you want to know where we are going? No.
I like surprises.
- Who is he? - A friend.
Cops don't have friends, What do you want from me? The four kilos of heroin that we found on your son, Freddy, will get him a 30-year jail sentence.
But I have a good heart so I thought, it will upset Calogero if his beloved Freddy goes to jail with black hair and is freed in 2020 with grey hair.
I already asked you, what do you want from me? I want you to write to a perosn you know in Sicily maybe even date it back a few days, before the arrest so as not to attract attention.
Write tha someone is in troubled waters here, and needs to stay where it's warm, in Italy.
And who would this friend I'm writing to be? Baron Giovanni Linori.
So, you want to get a cop involved with the Linori family using my name to do it.
Yes.
So, will you write this letter to Italy or not? You realize this cop I'd be writing the letter for - is pracitically dead? - I'll tel him, don't worry.
And who is this madman who I'm suggesting for burial? Him.
Now you have to listen to me.
I'll go back a few years The head of squad, Giorgi, was a real psycho.
Everyone said so.
He was down in Sicily for about three years and created a small investigative group with psychos like himself.
Four agents, who didn't have 100 years between them.
Hot-headed, inexpirienced.
They were scruffy and badly shaven.
Simon, I know what they were like.
This is pointless.
You don't know anything.
Do you know why they came after you like an avalanche? Do you know why they looked everywhere for you after you left the first time? Why all five men wanted you all dead? Because we got on their nerves! Because we were good! Because we put away more than forty Mafia guys! It wasn't for that.
Of those forty Mafia men, there wasn't a single big shot! They would never have made a deal of those proportions.
I've been thinking about it for years You guys got your hands on something much more important! Why did Giorgi go to Baron Linori's house the day before the deal? - Who is this Baron Linori? - Weren't you investigating the - Alcantara port contracts? - Yes, but only because someone mentioned irregularities.
The company that won the contract was SicilTeknoPlus.
And its proprietor was and still is Baron Giovanni Linori.
Simon.
What are you trying to tell me? I'm trying to tell you that Giorgi discovered something terrble! That maybe the man who wanted you dead - was Baron Giovanni Linori.
- And now you want me to take that - letter from Barretta to Sicily? - Yes, that is exactly what I want.
I want you to infiltrate the Linori family.
- Why me? - Because yours is a life worth nothing.
Because if Linori really did it, you have unfinished business.
So do I.
And also because I couldn't find anyone else to do the job.
You need one of those five psychos, right? The last one standing.
Yes, I need that one.
He's not arround anymore, Simon.
Go and look somewhere else.
They killed your friends, they forced you out of your country.
From your home, away from your son.
They turned you into an exile! What more motivation do you need to make you go back? Tel me Which office were you in while we were being tortured? Where were you that day? You and the other American agents you took around to learn the job? Where the hell were you all? Good, Davide.
I heard you, you're alive.
I'm leaving for Italy today and I'll wait for you there.
Barretta's letter is in this bag.
You'll find a room booked for you at the Gibraltar Hotel in Palermo.
If I decide to leave and I find out that Baron Linori is responsible for everything, what do I do? Give it to him.
No.
I'll kill him.
That doesn't seem like a good idea.
You have to leave Italy for a while.
- Your plane leaves tonight.
- And Marta? And the baby? No, I'm not coming with you I can't leave Stefano! It's only for a while.
Just to let Simon and the others understand - No! No! - Nothing's happened, Dave You're here.
You were just dreaming.
You're here you're here.
It'll never end.
It's all over.
It's all over.
You're here now.
Dave, do you want to talk? The snow has started falling and Jonathan doesn't like it.
Did you hear me? I asked if you felt like talking.
Soon I'll leave.
I'll go back to Italy.
I won't be away long.
- I have an issue to resolve.
- What issue? Jonathan will be sad.
I won't be away for long.
No lies no lies, please.
Let's start from the beginning.
March 20th, when Espinosa fled and Cattani was killed.
Read the report from the Dutch police again.
Espinosa goes to the North Pole Hotel in Amsterdam, stays two hours, then goes to Johannesburg.
What does he do at the North Pole Hotel? - He makes about 10 phone calls.
- In the middle of the night Yes, but we have checked and none were made to Italy.
Here two to Amserdam, four to London, the rest of them to Germany, except one to Belgium.
Read again to me the names of the people he called.
But we've done it a hundred of times.
Please.
Van Damme, Sickert, Johston, Flybert, Orange, Glynors, Darmgast, Kraven and Scank.
All businessmen, bankers.
The bank information has just arrived.
There are a lots of interesting things about the Linori family.
The Linoris are famous landowners, who went into industry and finance in the 1920's.
Cement works, banks, even steelworks up north.
Huge land sub-dividers in 50s.
They bough land that couldn't be built on.
But within a short time they turned it into building sites.
Around 1970, Giovanni Linori created the SicilTeknoPlus group.
And as a result, he multiplied his companies' turnover.
They even have businesses overseas.
It also says here that the Linoris have a long family line with English heritage.
They arrived in Sicily in 1790, 200 years ago.
English? What else does it say? Who was the first to arrive? A wine merchant who put distilleries all over the island.
His name? His name was Charles Glynors.
Glynors.
But then his name was translated from Glynors into Linori.
Glynors Glynors! Here, Espinosa called Glynors in London.
Glynors Limited, St.
Emerald Street.
It's a name of a company! We need to check all the departures for London in March.
Glynors Limited, St.
Emerals Street.
After years and years of postponement, the Southern Italy project is now governmental law.
A law which was persistently sought after by Riccardo Respighi during the years at the peak of his political career.
Our gratitude goes to him.
Today I would have liked for my son Mimmo, as the Director General of our group, to have been here to highlight the parameters of the project.
Unfortunately a minor matter has held him up.
Therefore, in his place, I'd like Mr.
Repighi himself to explain it besause no one else can better illustrate the grandness of this project in his extraordinary genial simplicity.
Thank you, thank you.
Thanks, everyone.
As you know, today the Government has supplied the first billion outlined by the law.
Another 15 will arrive in a few months.
In total, in a period of three years, 50 billion will be invested by the governement here in Sicily to create two big industrial sources which will help, let's say kickstart.
The economy of the entire island.
At the same time, the Government will sell divisions of its property to private firms and wil regain a large portion of its own investment.
In tis honest exchange we are developing a work of historical importance which I sincerely hope will mark the rebirth of Sicily.
Returning to Rome today I wil be able to say that a great firm from here, in this city, SicilTeknoPlus, well be the force behind the whole operation.
It's a demanding commitment, but at the same time, exciting.
I have and will continue to dedicate all of my remaining strenght to it.
They told me you wanted to speak with me.
Last time we saw each other we weren't so informal.
Oh, really? I'm sorry then.
You shouldn't be offended, times change.
Well, you, re right.
They change so much that today someone like you takes on the position of Director General of SicilTeknoPlus.
Instead of my son.
I only did it because I thought that your firm needed a more experienced manager.
Managing 50 billion isn't child's play.
No.
You did it because the Mafia is pulling your strings.
You're nothing.
You were always a street dog, and that's what you'll remain.
Well, you're right.
I am a dog who has learned to chew everything and also learned to bite.
Yes, I know.
And that's why I'm here.
Ask me for anything Land, money, whatever you like but if Mimmo is still alive give him back.
And if he is dead, tel me where he is.
Because his mother has right to mourn.
I know nothing about your son.
What do you want me to do? Beg you? Get down on my knees? Is that what you want? Fine.
- I will.
- No, no, that's enough now.
Fine.
I'll ask around and see what I can do.
But if someone asks what are your intentions, what do I say? Say tha Giovanni Linori knows he has lost and wants peace.
Here we go.
He left Italy on the 19th of March and returned on the 24th.
He was in London.
Giovanni Linori was in London, at the head office.
Of his company! And there he received the phone call from Espinosa! Giovanni, a judge has arrived, she's over there.
She wants to talk to you.
I've asked her to wait in your study.
There is no need to worry.
Even on that day the sky didn't have any clouds.
Which day? The 20th of March 1989, when Corrado Cattani was assassinated.
Yes, I remember A terrible event.
On that day, you were in England.
In London, at the Glynors Limitied office, St.
Emerald Street.
And early that morning, around 4:00 am, you received a phone call.
A strange hour to be chating, don't you think? Not for me.
When I go to London, I ussually have meetings with the - administrators at odd hours.
- Do you remember who called you? Absolutely not.
Anyway, I think you know very well who it was Antonio Espinosa.
Yes, yes, perhaps.
What wa so important for him to disturb you at that hour? Business, I suppose.
It had happened before.
I'll outline a possible scenario: A group of magistrates in Milan, prepare a round-up.
And based on Inspector Cattani's investigation, they issue quite a few warrants for arrest.
Some members of the Sicilian Mafia end up in prison while others manage to escape.
All this occurs while you are in London.
Antonio Espinosa, pursued by an arrest warrant, leaves Switzerland for Amsterdam after talking with Inspector Cattani.
Let's say he wants him out of his way, quickly.
But he can't contact the top Mafia guys because they are in hiding.
So he decides to call you, an inconspicuous man, who is also far away.
You kindly carry out the favor he asks A few hours later, five armed men wait for Cattani at the exit of a Milanese hospital and they kill him.
I love a good story.
A grand plot But do you think that that could actually be organized from London? No, but you could have entrusted your son Mimmo with it.
- Leave Mimmo out of it.
- I've also come to speak to him! Mimmo isn't here.
Fine, when he returns tell him to report to the Prosecutor's office.
My son, Mimmo, has disappeared.
He went nout in the afternoon 14 days ago, and hasn't yet returned home.
Court is in session! According to the Italian law, Articles 428, 285, 323.
In accordance with the criminal proceedings, this court believes that the defendant, Gaetano Carridi, cannot be judged for the accusation of homicide due to diminished responsibility.
Instead we order the immediate admission to a judical psychiatric hospital.
We sentence the following named who were.
part of the Mafia association: Pancheri Girolamo, Barocci Flavio, Parillo Salvatore, Di Gato Alfonso, to 30 years imprisonment.
Furthermore, Antonio Espinosa is acquitted on the grounds that he wasn't suspected of being involved with the Mafia association, nor having any responsibility for the murder of Captain Cattani.
Mr.
Espinosa.
Follow me, please, for a police check.
It will only take a minute.
The others can wait here.
I think that an introduction is pointles What is this? Is it an interrogation? An arrest? No, a legality and you know it well.
Friends of the Mafia are not necessarily involved in the Mafia, otherwise, you would have been guarded from coming back into Italy.
Especially if I were wrongly persecuted by a judge blinded by her own pain.
Anyway, despite everything, I'm not having a go at you because I know you were very attached to Inspector Cattani.
You're sure of yourself, certain that you've won The only thing which is certain is that you have lost.
The hearing for Inspector Cattani's death is still open.
There is still time.
And I won't quit.
Above all, I am here to challenge you.
As soon as you make a wrong move, I'm throwing you into jail for life.
They told me that you got a transfer to Sicily.
I suppose it was to chase the Mafia.
- Why don't you leave im in peace? - No hope.
I won't leave you in peace! I'm sure it must be great believing in eternal values, having grand ideals, seeing endless horizons My horizon is, however, adjustable it adapts when necessary.
And that's why I've managed to survive.
I'll also survive you.
Flight 727 from New York, via Milan - Here are the keys, sir.
- Thank you.
Excuse me, you don't know me, but I know you.
It's from a while back, you were just born, you didn't have that scar on your neck yet.
Before the operation? Yes yes, before the operation.
I'm a friend of your father's.
No, wait a second Listen, you come here and start talking to me.
I don't know you.
- What do you want? - Your father is in America, I've come from there.
Okey, I get it, he's in America.
Thanks very much.
Well, tel him that I'm here everyday, including Saturdays and tel him that I'll spit in his face if he comes back.
Your dad sends you this.
Listen, he might be your friend but he makes me sick.
He left my mother and me all the time without even saying a word Suddenly, he sends a friend, after 20 years, with a wad of money So, do you want it or not? Yes I want it, I need it.
But don't you dare say thanks to him.
- Tell me, do you have a girlfriend? - Do you? - I don't.
- That's my business.
Well if you do, and you're always like this I really don't envy her.
Okay.
- Hello? - Simon, I'm at the Gibraltar.
- I knew you'd come.
- Yes I'll pick you up tonight.
- Listen, take a look above the boiler.
- Okay.
See you tonight.
Come in.
Are you American? Half.
This painting was done by a very famous painter, who lives near you, on the West Side.
Do you like it? No.
I don't either.
Before there was Pietro Novelli's Deposition, but my son wanted to change it.
- And I said, yes.
- Why? The new One must adapt to the new in order not to feel left behind.
- How is old Calogero? - He spends his days fishing.
The oldies do that sort of thing How can I help you? Do you need money? Yes, but I like to earn it myself.
I'm loyal.
To whom? To those who do right by me.
Old Linori is in trouble.
In the underworld circle, that number plate is never mentioned.
It is from the Mercedes belonging to Linori's son, Mimmo, who has been missing for a few weeks.
The father has a reward of 50 million to whoever finds him.
I've been thinking about it.
Something came to me Mimmo Linori disappeared at night on October 2nd.
On that same day, a guy, Masino Salierno arrives in Sicily.
On that same day, a guy, Masino Salierno arrives in Sicily.
We arrested him at the secret auction hall.
He stops for a few hours and then proceeds on to New York.
Isn't that odd? What did Masino do in those few hours? Maybe we'll find someone here who knows.
- Can I have a whiskey? - A gin and tonic for table 13.
- Do you know her? - Elsy? Of course.
- Is it possible to meet her? - I doubt it, she's always very busy.
Try anyway.
Tell her I know people that know her a certain Masino, for example.
Imagine if my wife saw me You've got a wife? - And four kids.
- Congratulations.
Well, you must be a faithfull one.
If you had told me when we were in New Jersey, on Saturday night we would have had heaps of them at the motel even better ones.
Since you are being so witty You should go now.
You're too good to deal with this stuff, right? Wait for me in rook 202, at the Betia Vilage Residence.
It's the home of this natural masterpiece Have a look at it.
I'll be there in a few hours, after I've worked this girl.
All right.
- watch your blood pressure! - Thanks.
Thanks, Dave.
There's someone who wants to speak to you.
He's American.
- I don't want to see anyone.
- He says he's a friend of Masino.
Good evening.
Who are you? It's best that you get dressed.
I'll accompany you home.
On the way I'll explain everything.
- Who are they? Friends of yours? - No, I don't know them.
- Take her away! Go around the back! - I can't leave you alone.
She is more important.
She knows everything! Take care guys.
Shoot! Hurry up, idiot! Does this tell you anything? Dave, hotel Gibraltar, room 119.
Check it out.
Maybe he was the last person he saw.
I'll go.
He was a friend I'd known for 20 years.
He got himself killed like a dog, because he was sure you knew everything.
I hope it's true, for your sake anyway.
Come on, tell me.
They pursued me in every possible way for weeks for months They threatened with death.
Then one night they got me and they brutally beat me.
They knew Mimmo was after me for a while that I was the right one to trap him.
I didn't want to, I swear! Listen, foget it.
If everyone did as you do, Sicily woul be a cemetery by now.
- I only wanted to say that - I don't give a shit about you! You're just like them.
I'm only concerned about two things: Firstly, where the body is! Secondly Don't tell anyone you ever met me! Got it? Okay, Okay I swear! Where is that asshole? Masino put him in the car and threw him in the sea.
Who wanted him dead? Who? Someone in the Mafia.
Someone important, but I don't know his name.
How much did they give you? How much? 20 million.
Are you going to report me to the police? No.
There is no need for that.
They will find you first anyway.
- Andrea.
- Hi, Dad.
- Andrea, darling! Finally - Mom, how are you? Giovanni, give your Nanna a kiss.
Gloria.
See Ninni? This is your grandfather's house.
Someone wants to say hello to you.
Do you remember him? Carta, how are you? Of course, he's lost some hair.
Life goes on, and there's nothing you can do about it Ninni Do you understand Italian? - So you're not American? - I'm Giovanni Linori.
Come here, Grandpa has a lovely gift for you, come and see it.
- How was the flight? - Normal smooth.
- Was the child restless? - No, he was quite happy.
Look.
Do you like that little horse? Look at how nice it is It's yours.
Like that.
There.
Hello, this is Dave.
I'd like to speak to Baron Linori.
Tell him it's important.
Yes, very important, it's news about his son Mimmo.
Have they found Mimmo? Giovanni why? Where's my brother? Don't let anyone near it It's him.
How did you know he was here? - An anonymous phone call.
- Any idea who it was? Did they want to get you? After the identification I'm only obliged to sign the report.
I have nothing to say to you.
- Who is it? - The police.
Good morning, I'm - Oh it's you, Dave Licata! - And who are you? We met in another hotel quite far from here.
Oh, yes The guardian angel.
Judge Silvia Conti wants to have a little chat with you.
Dave Licata Today we found a man killed by gun shots.
It was Simon Barth.
From the American Anti-Narcotics Department.
A few hours later at Molo Pastore, near Punta Cancedda, the police found the body of Mimmo Linori, Baron Linori's eldest son.
We don't know if the two murders are connected.
We have no clues - Except for one.
- You mean me? Your name was in Simon Barth's diary.
I'm reffering to the Simon Barth you met in America, at the hotel - where, by chance, we met.
- Yes, I knew him I work in a motel in Jersey.
Some horrible sorts come through Anyway sometimes I'd give him news, information, small stuff Are you an informer for the Anti-Narcotic Department? I only said that I knew Simon.
- Were you paid for the information? - Sometimes.
- Can anyone prove it? - It isn't something you get a receipt for.
- Can anyone prove that? - No.
Why did you go to Simon's that night in America? I wanted to spend a holiday in Italy and since he often came to Italy I had gone there to ask him for some addresses: hotels restaurants, things like that And if instead you went there to kill, or make threats? And if instead you went there to kill, or make threats? Can someone prove it? Can someone confirm it? I don't believe a word you've told me.
For the moment you're free, but your passport stays here.
See you soon, Mr.
Licata.
Oh if you happen to change hotel, you'll have to notify us of your new residence.
It's not nice to enter without knocking.
The body How did you find it? You could at least thank me.
We've already done that.
It's a strange day today I had almost run out of money.
Now it's a matter of saving it Good for you - You think of absolutely everything.
- How did you find him? Did you read about that secret auction hall in America? - All those arrests? - Were you there? Yes.
There was also a certain, Masino Masino Salierno.
He had come back from Sicily, after only staying a few hours.
Just enough time to do a little job and then leave.
- What day was it? - October 3rd.
Keep going! Masino got the help of a certain Elsy, an oriental.
She is a dancer at the Night Club Inferno.
Mimmo Linori was following her for while she was his bait.
And now where's this Masino guy? - In jail in America.
- Why did they let you go? I was clean.
And this Elsy? Was she the one who told you everything? Yes, but now she's far away.
She left, but I don't know where - You should have killed her! - Firstly I don't kill women, And I am also not on the payroll.
You'll be on the payroll tomorow.
Come to the villa, you'll be in charge of Andrea, Giovanni Linori's son, also his wife and their child.
Fine.
Give him back his gun.
This chair is three times my age.
My father sat in it, my grandfather, and even before that my great grandfather.
It was bequeathed to Mimmo.
Why is it, Dad in so many years, you never discussed family business with me? I used to talk with Mimmo.
He would He would take charge of everything.
Yes, of course, naturally.
You kept him close to you for this.
To make him a true Linori.
But instead, for me, you had other plans.
How did you decide? Why was he close and I was far away? Why was one close to you, and one far away from you? Your mother wanted you to study in the United States.
You know, Dad About a month ago, something came back to my mind.
I was 10 and Mimmo was 13 We were here, where the fountain used to be.
And you wanted us to box each other, to throw punches.
Keeping to the rules, of course.
Deep down, you're an Engishmen, in your own way.
You were the referee.
And you said that the match would only stop when one of us knocked the other down to the ground.
Basically we were killing each other, and you were just watching us.
Then from the gate, Mom appeared and she approached you.
And screaming, she said something to you that until now, I didn't understand.
She screamed to your face, hugging us tight that one at least on of us, you had to leave for her.
Do you remember, Dad? I remember.
It meant that to be a Linori, here in Sicily, means being at a huge risk.
Isn't that right? Yes, that's right? And this risk becomes so much bigger, the richer you get.
Especially if it multiplies by 10, by 20, and by 100, like your assets! There's only one thing that makes one get rich fast, Dad.
And you know what that is.
The right connections.
The Mafia.
I'm only a business man.
The drugs, the arms, the heroin.
That's your business! And that's why they killed Mimmo! For this! Is that true? Is that it? A month ago, I handed everything over to Mimmo.
But for many years I was starting to disassociate with old connections.
- I don't believe you - SicilTeknoPlus, 20 years ago, was the channel for dirty transactions.
It lasted a short time, from 1970 to 1973.
However, now a transaction of 50 billion has come to light.
And they asked to nominate Annibale Corvo one of their men, to be the General Director.
I said no.
That's why Mimmo was killed.
And now? What will happen now? Who will it be next time? You? There won't be a next time.
How do you know? I have a secret weapon, a person, I've been waiting for him for a long time and soon I'll have him.
- It will be a long journey, Sir.
- It doesn't matter.
You think about driving.
- If you need anything - I don't need anything.
Close it.

You did a good job, Masino.

This charming miniature from the 1900s is a work from the Antidrug Department and I am Captain Simon Barth.
Nobody move! This is a police operation! Stay calm, don't worry.
We apologize for the interruption.
Nobody move for any reason.
Bastards! Sit down.
To any of you who by chance might have an object like this please stand and go to the stage with your arms raised.
One at a time, please.
All exits are under surveillance.
Repeat, all exits are under surveillance.
Hey you, sit down too.
That's the way.
Good.
Quiet and orderly.
Do you have a warrant? And can you tell me whose brilliant idea this was? It was mine.
And I organized this scene just for you, Calogero Barretta.
You're the star of the show arround here.
Attention, you two Block off the area at the entrance to the docks.
Quickly! This afternoon, the police interrupted a secret auction hall in New Jersey.
This operation iz the end of a long investigtion which saw the Italian authorities join forces with those of our own country.
Some unconfirmed sources talk about the arrest of important Sicilian bosses.
We are now awaiting the arrival of the Italian judge Silvia Conti the most rigid and tireless headhunter on the Italian anti-Mafia force.
As a result of her tenacity and experience, this operation represents, as we just mentioned, the completion of a long investigation.
The FBI collaboration in some facets of the investigation helped discover Mafia connections spread out across several states in America.
Now we are trying pull in some of the characters of this important police operation.
Here comes the FBI official, the one who coordinated the operation.
Excuse me, is it true that among those arrested is a member of the Mafia high command? - Maybe - Maybe? Simon? Simon Listen Davide, you have to leave Italy for a little while.
We'll get you on a plane that leaves tonikght, okay? It is you.
There's not much traffic toniht.
Everyone must be at the Yankees game.
David are you allright? - What's wrong? - Huh? - Answer.
- Nothing wrong.
Seriously.
Bad news on TV? No.
It's just that I just saw a ghost.
Watch out! Run! Wait! No No! No! No! My baby! This is your ticket for Palermo.
See, this proves you were in Italy yesterday.
You arrived in Sicily on the 4:40 flight and you left at down.
The next morning.
You only stayed a few hours.
- Why? - I had to meet a woman.
Her name? You don't tell a woman's name.
Where did you spend these few hours with her? In bed.
Simon! - How are you? - Davide! - Stay there! It's realy Davide! - What the hell are you doing! - I want you to tell me a few things.
- What do you want to know? The truth.
About everything.
Even about you.
For all these years I though they had killed you.
But instead you're here, holding a gun and you even want to use it.
Why? Because someone sold me, Simon.
You.
- What are you talking about? - That night all those years ago, on the plane you put ne, which landed in Zurich they tried to kill me.
A bullet broke my arm, here.
They tried to kill me.
A bullet broke my arm, here.
I managed to get away, first to Paris, then to Talone.
But hey found me again.
No one knew where I was except for Marta, to whom I wrote a letter which I asked to be read only by you.
There was someone in the secret service who, at the time, wanted you dead.
By the time that letter reached Marta they'd already read it.
You could see it had been opened and re-sealed.
That's why I came looking for you.
The Mafia wanted me dead! How were the secret services involved? At the time, they were also involved in that "something" which ypu and Giorgi's group were also involved in.
Even at the Anti-Narcotics division, there was someone high up who wanted to keep it all quiet.
For eight years they kept me in Hong Kong.
Wanted to keep it all quiet.
For eight years they kept me in Hong Kong.
Why don't you make up something better? Fine.
I'll think of something better.
Good for you Davide You figured it all out.
I betrayed you.
And now what do I do? Go on, tell me.
- You shoot, Simon.
- That's right.
And then? Then you have to get rid of the body.
Good.
Very good.
So, shall we finish it off then? I was your friend.
And I still am now.
Think what you like.
If you are sure of what you say, the gun is over there on the bed.
How long has it been since you stopped? Since I start seeing spiders on the walls.
You realy scared me.
And Marta? Did you ever see her again? Yes, the last time I was in Sicily, a few years ago.
She got married.
And the kid? This year he should be off to college.
I have only seen him once.
He has a scar here: the bullet burn.
- And how is he.
Okay? - Yes, he's well.
He's also quite handsome.
I'm sorry about before.
Anyway I'm working in New Jersey now, at a place called Caruso's.
It's behind the station.
If you are ever down there It's behind the station.
If you are ever down there Sure.
I've changed my name.
Now I'm Dave Dave Licata.
- Are you alone? - I'm with Kate.
Who are you? What are you doing here? I came to see someone.
Stop, don't move! Who are you? A kidnapper or a cop? Who are these two? Your guardian angels? In a way, yes.
Excuse us, you had us a bit worried.
You're the Italian judge who made all those arrests, right? - Why, do you know me? - I admire you greatly.
Now can I put my hands in my pockets? Sure.
Good luck.
To all three of you.
Have a rest, see you later on.
I swear Corrado, I swear I wont't stop until I've found them All of them.
New York's turned to shit in the last few years.
It's full of blacks and cops.
Then why didn't you stay in Sicily? - The smoke annoys me.
- Really? I'm sorry.
Really.
Hey, where the fuck are you taking me? You're talking too much, Don Calogero.
Save your breath.
Come on, come with me.
Someone wants to speak to you, Who? Me.
On the March 20th, 1989, you fled from Italy.
Hours earlier you were under a warant for arrest along wizh the other Mafia members.
Who informed you of the judicary action taking place? I didn't acctualy flee Italy.
I came to America to see my son, Freddy.
- Isn't that allowed? - Who informed you, answer me! I thought I was being clear.
Clear as water.
I've been in America for six years, and I have a son here who wanted to see me for months.
It was just a coincidence So it was just a coincidence that while you were all fleeing a Mafia chief assasinated Corrado Cattani! Oh, I don't know anything about that Cattani fellow.
Anyway, he was someone who was always looking for deaht.
Do you know how many enemies he made in all those - years breaking peoples's balls? - Yes, I know.
You were one of them.
I want to know who killed Inspector Cattani.
I want to know if the Mafia ordered it or if it came from someone higher up from a I don't know what you're talking about.
The Mafia, "a hidden force".
What does that mean? Things need to be explained clearly to me.
Let's go.
Let's go see if we can refresh your memory.
Who is this old guy? Do you confirm what you have told me in the preliminary hearing about.
.
,.
Calogero Barretta? He became part of the Mafia high command in 1980.
He was affiliated with the Sante Accardo family.
Then he came to America.
The murders of Bonfanti, Fanali and Centella, he organized them.
You want to drag us to hell with you? So, it's clear you know Antonio De Pesis, the Puppeteer.
What Puppeteer? He should be called a puppet! He's being manipulated by your hands, dear lady.
That is really stupid.
You've become a court jester, and they'll give you a prize! Listen Barretta, if you haven't worked it out yet, you're in big trouble.
Yesterday in Miami, we arrested your son with 4 kilos of heroin.
You can talk to the American judges about this.
I want to know who ordered the murder of Cattani! That night of March 20th, 1989 I was busy.
Like you said I was busy getting out of Italy.
And you think I realy had time to think about Corrado Cattani? Cattani meant nothing to me.
He was only a cog in the wheel.
But someone was thinking about him.
Who? Even the others in the Mafia high command were trying to get away.
I asked: who? Who ordered it? Well, who? The Baron.
Giovanni Linori.
Is Giovanni Linori part of the Mafia high command? No.
He always played on his own.
And he played big.
Why didn't you ever mentioned Baron Linori to me? Well? - Well, why didn't you? Shamefull! - Take him away! We're all dead anyway! All dead! So, why didn't you ever mentioned Baron Linori? I told you only about the Mafia.
Linori is not the Mafia.
He is one of those names I never wanted to mention.
The ones who are hidden in a deck of shuffled cards.
- Explain yourself better! - You see, Judge, the Mafia is strong, it knows many things.
But it can't be everywhere.
Instead, there are others, who can get to where they want.
I'm scared.
If they want to they'll kill my daughter! So, if you put me on the record under the name of Giovanni Linori, I won't sign! Davide! You forgot this.
Hop in.
Come with me.
Do you want to know where we are going? No.
I like surprises.
- Who is he? - A friend.
Cops don't have friends, What do you want from me? The four kilos of heroin that we found on your son, Freddy, will get him a 30-year jail sentence.
But I have a good heart so I thought, it will upset Calogero if his beloved Freddy goes to jail with black hair and is freed in 2020 with grey hair.
I already asked you, what do you want from me? I want you to write to a perosn you know in Sicily maybe even date it back a few days, before the arrest so as not to attract attention.
Write tha someone is in troubled waters here, and needs to stay where it's warm, in Italy.
And who would this friend I'm writing to be? Baron Giovanni Linori.
So, you want to get a cop involved with the Linori family using my name to do it.
Yes.
So, will you write this letter to Italy or not? You realize this cop I'd be writing the letter for - is pracitically dead? - I'll tel him, don't worry.
And who is this madman who I'm suggesting for burial? Him.
Now you have to listen to me.
I'll go back a few years The head of squad, Giorgi, was a real psycho.
Everyone said so.
He was down in Sicily for about three years and created a small investigative group with psychos like himself.
Four agents, who didn't have 100 years between them.
Hot-headed, inexpirienced.
They were scruffy and badly shaven.
Simon, I know what they were like.
This is pointless.
You don't know anything.
Do you know why they came after you like an avalanche? Do you know why they looked everywhere for you after you left the first time? Why all five men wanted you all dead? Because we got on their nerves! Because we were good! Because we put away more than forty Mafia guys! It wasn't for that.
Of those forty Mafia men, there wasn't a single big shot! They would never have made a deal of those proportions.
I've been thinking about it for years You guys got your hands on something much more important! Why did Giorgi go to Baron Linori's house the day before the deal? - Who is this Baron Linori? - Weren't you investigating the - Alcantara port contracts? - Yes, but only because someone mentioned irregularities.
The company that won the contract was SicilTeknoPlus.
And its proprietor was and still is Baron Giovanni Linori.
Simon.
What are you trying to tell me? I'm trying to tell you that Giorgi discovered something terrble! That maybe the man who wanted you dead - was Baron Giovanni Linori.
- And now you want me to take that - letter from Barretta to Sicily? - Yes, that is exactly what I want.
I want you to infiltrate the Linori family.
- Why me? - Because yours is a life worth nothing.
Because if Linori really did it, you have unfinished business.
So do I.
And also because I couldn't find anyone else to do the job.
You need one of those five psychos, right? The last one standing.
Yes, I need that one.
He's not arround anymore, Simon.
Go and look somewhere else.
They killed your friends, they forced you out of your country.
From your home, away from your son.
They turned you into an exile! What more motivation do you need to make you go back? Tel me Which office were you in while we were being tortured? Where were you that day? You and the other American agents you took around to learn the job? Where the hell were you all? Good, Davide.
I heard you, you're alive.
I'm leaving for Italy today and I'll wait for you there.
Barretta's letter is in this bag.
You'll find a room booked for you at the Gibraltar Hotel in Palermo.
If I decide to leave and I find out that Baron Linori is responsible for everything, what do I do? Give it to him.
No.
I'll kill him.
That doesn't seem like a good idea.
You have to leave Italy for a while.
- Your plane leaves tonight.
- And Marta? And the baby? No, I'm not coming with you I can't leave Stefano! It's only for a while.
Just to let Simon and the others understand - No! No! - Nothing's happened, Dave You're here.
You were just dreaming.
You're here you're here.
It'll never end.
It's all over.
It's all over.
You're here now.
Dave, do you want to talk? The snow has started falling and Jonathan doesn't like it.
Did you hear me? I asked if you felt like talking.
Soon I'll leave.
I'll go back to Italy.
I won't be away long.
- I have an issue to resolve.
- What issue? Jonathan will be sad.
I won't be away for long.
No lies no lies, please.
Let's start from the beginning.
March 20th, when Espinosa fled and Cattani was killed.
Read the report from the Dutch police again.
Espinosa goes to the North Pole Hotel in Amsterdam, stays two hours, then goes to Johannesburg.
What does he do at the North Pole Hotel? - He makes about 10 phone calls.
- In the middle of the night Yes, but we have checked and none were made to Italy.
Here two to Amserdam, four to London, the rest of them to Germany, except one to Belgium.
Read again to me the names of the people he called.
But we've done it a hundred of times.
Please.
Van Damme, Sickert, Johston, Flybert, Orange, Glynors, Darmgast, Kraven and Scank.
All businessmen, bankers.
The bank information has just arrived.
There are a lots of interesting things about the Linori family.
The Linoris are famous landowners, who went into industry and finance in the 1920's.
Cement works, banks, even steelworks up north.
Huge land sub-dividers in 50s.
They bough land that couldn't be built on.
But within a short time they turned it into building sites.
Around 1970, Giovanni Linori created the SicilTeknoPlus group.
And as a result, he multiplied his companies' turnover.
They even have businesses overseas.
It also says here that the Linoris have a long family line with English heritage.
They arrived in Sicily in 1790, 200 years ago.
English? What else does it say? Who was the first to arrive? A wine merchant who put distilleries all over the island.
His name? His name was Charles Glynors.
Glynors.
But then his name was translated from Glynors into Linori.
Glynors Glynors! Here, Espinosa called Glynors in London.
Glynors Limited, St.
Emerald Street.
It's a name of a company! We need to check all the departures for London in March.
Glynors Limited, St.
Emerals Street.
After years and years of postponement, the Southern Italy project is now governmental law.
A law which was persistently sought after by Riccardo Respighi during the years at the peak of his political career.
Our gratitude goes to him.
Today I would have liked for my son Mimmo, as the Director General of our group, to have been here to highlight the parameters of the project.
Unfortunately a minor matter has held him up.
Therefore, in his place, I'd like Mr.
Repighi himself to explain it besause no one else can better illustrate the grandness of this project in his extraordinary genial simplicity.
Thank you, thank you.
Thanks, everyone.
As you know, today the Government has supplied the first billion outlined by the law.
Another 15 will arrive in a few months.
In total, in a period of three years, 50 billion will be invested by the governement here in Sicily to create two big industrial sources which will help, let's say kickstart.
The economy of the entire island.
At the same time, the Government will sell divisions of its property to private firms and wil regain a large portion of its own investment.
In tis honest exchange we are developing a work of historical importance which I sincerely hope will mark the rebirth of Sicily.
Returning to Rome today I wil be able to say that a great firm from here, in this city, SicilTeknoPlus, well be the force behind the whole operation.
It's a demanding commitment, but at the same time, exciting.
I have and will continue to dedicate all of my remaining strenght to it.
They told me you wanted to speak with me.
Last time we saw each other we weren't so informal.
Oh, really? I'm sorry then.
You shouldn't be offended, times change.
Well, you, re right.
They change so much that today someone like you takes on the position of Director General of SicilTeknoPlus.
Instead of my son.
I only did it because I thought that your firm needed a more experienced manager.
Managing 50 billion isn't child's play.
No.
You did it because the Mafia is pulling your strings.
You're nothing.
You were always a street dog, and that's what you'll remain.
Well, you're right.
I am a dog who has learned to chew everything and also learned to bite.
Yes, I know.
And that's why I'm here.
Ask me for anything Land, money, whatever you like but if Mimmo is still alive give him back.
And if he is dead, tel me where he is.
Because his mother has right to mourn.
I know nothing about your son.
What do you want me to do? Beg you? Get down on my knees? Is that what you want? Fine.
- I will.
- No, no, that's enough now.
Fine.
I'll ask around and see what I can do.
But if someone asks what are your intentions, what do I say? Say tha Giovanni Linori knows he has lost and wants peace.
Here we go.
He left Italy on the 19th of March and returned on the 24th.
He was in London.
Giovanni Linori was in London, at the head office.
Of his company! And there he received the phone call from Espinosa! Giovanni, a judge has arrived, she's over there.
She wants to talk to you.
I've asked her to wait in your study.
There is no need to worry.
Even on that day the sky didn't have any clouds.
Which day? The 20th of March 1989, when Corrado Cattani was assassinated.
Yes, I remember A terrible event.
On that day, you were in England.
In London, at the Glynors Limitied office, St.
Emerald Street.
And early that morning, around 4:00 am, you received a phone call.
A strange hour to be chating, don't you think? Not for me.
When I go to London, I ussually have meetings with the - administrators at odd hours.
- Do you remember who called you? Absolutely not.
Anyway, I think you know very well who it was Antonio Espinosa.
Yes, yes, perhaps.
What wa so important for him to disturb you at that hour? Business, I suppose.
It had happened before.
I'll outline a possible scenario: A group of magistrates in Milan, prepare a round-up.
And based on Inspector Cattani's investigation, they issue quite a few warrants for arrest.
Some members of the Sicilian Mafia end up in prison while others manage to escape.
All this occurs while you are in London.
Antonio Espinosa, pursued by an arrest warrant, leaves Switzerland for Amsterdam after talking with Inspector Cattani.
Let's say he wants him out of his way, quickly.
But he can't contact the top Mafia guys because they are in hiding.
So he decides to call you, an inconspicuous man, who is also far away.
You kindly carry out the favor he asks A few hours later, five armed men wait for Cattani at the exit of a Milanese hospital and they kill him.
I love a good story.
A grand plot But do you think that that could actually be organized from London? No, but you could have entrusted your son Mimmo with it.
- Leave Mimmo out of it.
- I've also come to speak to him! Mimmo isn't here.
Fine, when he returns tell him to report to the Prosecutor's office.
My son, Mimmo, has disappeared.
He went nout in the afternoon 14 days ago, and hasn't yet returned home.
Court is in session! According to the Italian law, Articles 428, 285, 323.
In accordance with the criminal proceedings, this court believes that the defendant, Gaetano Carridi, cannot be judged for the accusation of homicide due to diminished responsibility.
Instead we order the immediate admission to a judical psychiatric hospital.
We sentence the following named who were.
part of the Mafia association: Pancheri Girolamo, Barocci Flavio, Parillo Salvatore, Di Gato Alfonso, to 30 years imprisonment.
Furthermore, Antonio Espinosa is acquitted on the grounds that he wasn't suspected of being involved with the Mafia association, nor having any responsibility for the murder of Captain Cattani.
Mr.
Espinosa.
Follow me, please, for a police check.
It will only take a minute.
The others can wait here.
I think that an introduction is pointles What is this? Is it an interrogation? An arrest? No, a legality and you know it well.
Friends of the Mafia are not necessarily involved in the Mafia, otherwise, you would have been guarded from coming back into Italy.
Especially if I were wrongly persecuted by a judge blinded by her own pain.
Anyway, despite everything, I'm not having a go at you because I know you were very attached to Inspector Cattani.
You're sure of yourself, certain that you've won The only thing which is certain is that you have lost.
The hearing for Inspector Cattani's death is still open.
There is still time.
And I won't quit.
Above all, I am here to challenge you.
As soon as you make a wrong move, I'm throwing you into jail for life.
They told me that you got a transfer to Sicily.
I suppose it was to chase the Mafia.
- Why don't you leave im in peace? - No hope.
I won't leave you in peace! I'm sure it must be great believing in eternal values, having grand ideals, seeing endless horizons My horizon is, however, adjustable it adapts when necessary.
And that's why I've managed to survive.
I'll also survive you.
Flight 727 from New York, via Milan - Here are the keys, sir.
- Thank you.
Excuse me, you don't know me, but I know you.
It's from a while back, you were just born, you didn't have that scar on your neck yet.
Before the operation? Yes yes, before the operation.
I'm a friend of your father's.
No, wait a second Listen, you come here and start talking to me.
I don't know you.
- What do you want? - Your father is in America, I've come from there.
Okey, I get it, he's in America.
Thanks very much.
Well, tel him that I'm here everyday, including Saturdays and tel him that I'll spit in his face if he comes back.
Your dad sends you this.
Listen, he might be your friend but he makes me sick.
He left my mother and me all the time without even saying a word Suddenly, he sends a friend, after 20 years, with a wad of money So, do you want it or not? Yes I want it, I need it.
But don't you dare say thanks to him.
- Tell me, do you have a girlfriend? - Do you? - I don't.
- That's my business.
Well if you do, and you're always like this I really don't envy her.
Okay.
- Hello? - Simon, I'm at the Gibraltar.
- I knew you'd come.
- Yes I'll pick you up tonight.
- Listen, take a look above the boiler.
- Okay.
See you tonight.
Come in.
Are you American? Half.
This painting was done by a very famous painter, who lives near you, on the West Side.
Do you like it? No.
I don't either.
Before there was Pietro Novelli's Deposition, but my son wanted to change it.
- And I said, yes.
- Why? The new One must adapt to the new in order not to feel left behind.
- How is old Calogero? - He spends his days fishing.
The oldies do that sort of thing How can I help you? Do you need money? Yes, but I like to earn it myself.
I'm loyal.
To whom? To those who do right by me.
Old Linori is in trouble.
In the underworld circle, that number plate is never mentioned.
It is from the Mercedes belonging to Linori's son, Mimmo, who has been missing for a few weeks.
The father has a reward of 50 million to whoever finds him.
I've been thinking about it.
Something came to me Mimmo Linori disappeared at night on October 2nd.
On that same day, a guy, Masino Salierno arrives in Sicily.
On that same day, a guy, Masino Salierno arrives in Sicily.
We arrested him at the secret auction hall.
He stops for a few hours and then proceeds on to New York.
Isn't that odd? What did Masino do in those few hours? Maybe we'll find someone here who knows.
- Can I have a whiskey? - A gin and tonic for table 13.
- Do you know her? - Elsy? Of course.
- Is it possible to meet her? - I doubt it, she's always very busy.
Try anyway.
Tell her I know people that know her a certain Masino, for example.
Imagine if my wife saw me You've got a wife? - And four kids.
- Congratulations.
Well, you must be a faithfull one.
If you had told me when we were in New Jersey, on Saturday night we would have had heaps of them at the motel even better ones.
Since you are being so witty You should go now.
You're too good to deal with this stuff, right? Wait for me in rook 202, at the Betia Vilage Residence.
It's the home of this natural masterpiece Have a look at it.
I'll be there in a few hours, after I've worked this girl.
All right.
- watch your blood pressure! - Thanks.
Thanks, Dave.
There's someone who wants to speak to you.
He's American.
- I don't want to see anyone.
- He says he's a friend of Masino.
Good evening.
Who are you? It's best that you get dressed.
I'll accompany you home.
On the way I'll explain everything.
- Who are they? Friends of yours? - No, I don't know them.
- Take her away! Go around the back! - I can't leave you alone.
She is more important.
She knows everything! Take care guys.
Shoot! Hurry up, idiot! Does this tell you anything? Dave, hotel Gibraltar, room 119.
Check it out.
Maybe he was the last person he saw.
I'll go.
He was a friend I'd known for 20 years.
He got himself killed like a dog, because he was sure you knew everything.
I hope it's true, for your sake anyway.
Come on, tell me.
They pursued me in every possible way for weeks for months They threatened with death.
Then one night they got me and they brutally beat me.
They knew Mimmo was after me for a while that I was the right one to trap him.
I didn't want to, I swear! Listen, foget it.
If everyone did as you do, Sicily woul be a cemetery by now.
- I only wanted to say that - I don't give a shit about you! You're just like them.
I'm only concerned about two things: Firstly, where the body is! Secondly Don't tell anyone you ever met me! Got it? Okay, Okay I swear! Where is that asshole? Masino put him in the car and threw him in the sea.
Who wanted him dead? Who? Someone in the Mafia.
Someone important, but I don't know his name.
How much did they give you? How much? 20 million.
Are you going to report me to the police? No.
There is no need for that.
They will find you first anyway.
- Andrea.
- Hi, Dad.
- Andrea, darling! Finally - Mom, how are you? Giovanni, give your Nanna a kiss.
Gloria.
See Ninni? This is your grandfather's house.
Someone wants to say hello to you.
Do you remember him? Carta, how are you? Of course, he's lost some hair.
Life goes on, and there's nothing you can do about it Ninni Do you understand Italian? - So you're not American? - I'm Giovanni Linori.
Come here, Grandpa has a lovely gift for you, come and see it.
- How was the flight? - Normal smooth.
- Was the child restless? - No, he was quite happy.
Look.
Do you like that little horse? Look at how nice it is It's yours.
Like that.
There.
Hello, this is Dave.
I'd like to speak to Baron Linori.
Tell him it's important.
Yes, very important, it's news about his son Mimmo.
Have they found Mimmo? Giovanni why? Where's my brother? Don't let anyone near it It's him.
How did you know he was here? - An anonymous phone call.
- Any idea who it was? Did they want to get you? After the identification I'm only obliged to sign the report.
I have nothing to say to you.
- Who is it? - The police.
Good morning, I'm - Oh it's you, Dave Licata! - And who are you? We met in another hotel quite far from here.
Oh, yes The guardian angel.
Judge Silvia Conti wants to have a little chat with you.
Dave Licata Today we found a man killed by gun shots.
It was Simon Barth.
From the American Anti-Narcotics Department.
A few hours later at Molo Pastore, near Punta Cancedda, the police found the body of Mimmo Linori, Baron Linori's eldest son.
We don't know if the two murders are connected.
We have no clues - Except for one.
- You mean me? Your name was in Simon Barth's diary.
I'm reffering to the Simon Barth you met in America, at the hotel - where, by chance, we met.
- Yes, I knew him I work in a motel in Jersey.
Some horrible sorts come through Anyway sometimes I'd give him news, information, small stuff Are you an informer for the Anti-Narcotic Department? I only said that I knew Simon.
- Were you paid for the information? - Sometimes.
- Can anyone prove it? - It isn't something you get a receipt for.
- Can anyone prove that? - No.
Why did you go to Simon's that night in America? I wanted to spend a holiday in Italy and since he often came to Italy I had gone there to ask him for some addresses: hotels restaurants, things like that And if instead you went there to kill, or make threats? And if instead you went there to kill, or make threats? Can someone prove it? Can someone confirm it? I don't believe a word you've told me.
For the moment you're free, but your passport stays here.
See you soon, Mr.
Licata.
Oh if you happen to change hotel, you'll have to notify us of your new residence.
It's not nice to enter without knocking.
The body How did you find it? You could at least thank me.
We've already done that.
It's a strange day today I had almost run out of money.
Now it's a matter of saving it Good for you - You think of absolutely everything.
- How did you find him? Did you read about that secret auction hall in America? - All those arrests? - Were you there? Yes.
There was also a certain, Masino Masino Salierno.
He had come back from Sicily, after only staying a few hours.
Just enough time to do a little job and then leave.
- What day was it? - October 3rd.
Keep going! Masino got the help of a certain Elsy, an oriental.
She is a dancer at the Night Club Inferno.
Mimmo Linori was following her for while she was his bait.
And now where's this Masino guy? - In jail in America.
- Why did they let you go? I was clean.
And this Elsy? Was she the one who told you everything? Yes, but now she's far away.
She left, but I don't know where - You should have killed her! - Firstly I don't kill women, And I am also not on the payroll.
You'll be on the payroll tomorow.
Come to the villa, you'll be in charge of Andrea, Giovanni Linori's son, also his wife and their child.
Fine.
Give him back his gun.
This chair is three times my age.
My father sat in it, my grandfather, and even before that my great grandfather.
It was bequeathed to Mimmo.
Why is it, Dad in so many years, you never discussed family business with me? I used to talk with Mimmo.
He would He would take charge of everything.
Yes, of course, naturally.
You kept him close to you for this.
To make him a true Linori.
But instead, for me, you had other plans.
How did you decide? Why was he close and I was far away? Why was one close to you, and one far away from you? Your mother wanted you to study in the United States.
You know, Dad About a month ago, something came back to my mind.
I was 10 and Mimmo was 13 We were here, where the fountain used to be.
And you wanted us to box each other, to throw punches.
Keeping to the rules, of course.
Deep down, you're an Engishmen, in your own way.
You were the referee.
And you said that the match would only stop when one of us knocked the other down to the ground.
Basically we were killing each other, and you were just watching us.
Then from the gate, Mom appeared and she approached you.
And screaming, she said something to you that until now, I didn't understand.
She screamed to your face, hugging us tight that one at least on of us, you had to leave for her.
Do you remember, Dad? I remember.
It meant that to be a Linori, here in Sicily, means being at a huge risk.
Isn't that right? Yes, that's right? And this risk becomes so much bigger, the richer you get.
Especially if it multiplies by 10, by 20, and by 100, like your assets! There's only one thing that makes one get rich fast, Dad.
And you know what that is.
The right connections.
The Mafia.
I'm only a business man.
The drugs, the arms, the heroin.
That's your business! And that's why they killed Mimmo! For this! Is that true? Is that it? A month ago, I handed everything over to Mimmo.
But for many years I was starting to disassociate with old connections.
- I don't believe you - SicilTeknoPlus, 20 years ago, was the channel for dirty transactions.
It lasted a short time, from 1970 to 1973.
However, now a transaction of 50 billion has come to light.
And they asked to nominate Annibale Corvo one of their men, to be the General Director.
I said no.
That's why Mimmo was killed.
And now? What will happen now? Who will it be next time? You? There won't be a next time.
How do you know? I have a secret weapon, a person, I've been waiting for him for a long time and soon I'll have him.
- It will be a long journey, Sir.
- It doesn't matter.
You think about driving.
- If you need anything - I don't need anything.
Close it.
