Street People (1976) - full transcript

Thanks, Mario.
Hello, there, how are you?

Good morning.

-Bonjour, Francesco.
-Hello, Ulysses. Hi, Pete.

Sorry I`m late.
The streets are jammed.

Crazy drivers.

But why didn`t you have
Pete shoot one or two,

that way they`ll learn
to get out of the way.

Pete don`t shoot
anybody anymore,
do you, Pete?

What does he do,
bite them on the neck?

I send them flowers and candy.

Be sure he don`t send you any.



What do you have
for me, councilor?

I need your signature
on a few things.

The first is a new
tax shelter deal.

You and I... Now, this will be
investing to $240,000
over the next five years

to a built a computer center
in Dallas.

with you,
a list to the Panavian Oil Company.

-Is that good?
-Good?

Well, for $240,000 you`ll get
to deduct 680,000

from your income tax
over the next five years.

And after five years
you`ll have a cut.

You know,
that`s terrific,, Ulysses.
Is it legal?

Oh, forget I asked.

You should read it first.
I take your word.

What`s this?



-The new
taxi driver`s agreement.
-Are they happy?

They`re screaming.

Then it`s a good deal.

Pete could always send them
flowers and candy.

The last is the lease
on this office building.

Lease my ass. I own it.

You`ll be leasing it from
yourself as an office building
for the alliance.

Taxes, you want
me to explain it?

Hell, no.
I wouldn`t understand
half of it.

Smartest thing I ever did
was to get you out
of the Sicily

into that English law school.

Being half English,,
half Sicilian, it was
a good break for both of us.

Pretty soon, I can quit
to live like a human being.

You tried that five years ago.
But this time, god damn it,
I`ll do it.

No,, don`t worry about Pete,
he`s my man all the way.

Even out of this
jungle, huh, Pete?

I hope he`s right Pete.
Stick to sending candy.

For you father. Father.

They`re beautiful indeed.

-Francis is across the street.
-I know.

Somebody said he might
come down to welcome the cross
if he had time.

-why don`t you walk over
and say hello?
-Are you kidding?

He hasn`t talked with me
for years and you know it.

Pater et Filius

et Spiritu sanctu, Amen.

Fate presto.

-What about them?
-To hell with them,, come on.

What did that set you back?

What the hell
is the difference?
A few thousand would change.

It`s something nice
for the guys
in the halibut fleet.

Something nice
for you too, Salvatore.

I`m an uncle.

Hey Joe, I`m an uncle.

Shh, quiet,, Salvatore.

I`m an uncle.

What is it, Sal, a baby girl?
I bet it`s a girl.

No, a boy, Joe. A boy, Joe.

Fine strong bones.
He`s a big as me.

we`re gonna call him Ulysses.

It feels good to do
a little something, don`t it?

-I always feel good.
-Oh, yeah.

I can tell.

There`s got to be at least
a million dollar`s worth
of dope here.

At least? Oh, man.

-Taste good?
-Hey,, I`ll be stoned
for a week.

Hey, captain,
the priest is here.

Is this yours, father?
Yes, well, I mean, no.
I`m sorry.

It was a gift from Sicily,
you know, for the fishermen,

for the blessing
of the fishermen to get
a big catch.

Many of the man here
have come from Sicily.

-Whose idea was it, father?
-I don`t know.

Look, if you brought this
eight thousand miles
for a celebration,

it must`ve been
somebody`s idea.

It was of course but it was an
anonymous gift.

The whole idea
came in a letter.
I still have it.

I`ll give it to you.
It was just signed, a friend.

Is the cross damaged?

The cross is fine,
it`s okay but every junky
in San Francisco

is gonna have
a really good season.

-Who was the benefactor?
-He was anonymous.

He? why not a woman?

Somebody sends
a priceless crucifix

from a village in Sicily
and you say he?

-I assume they were...
-There were rumors?

Some gossip among
the fishermen?

No real gossip, your eminence.

who?

It was just a whisper.
I didn`t believe it
for a moment.

Perhaps you don`t want
to believe it.

-No, eminence.
-Then repeat the whisper
to me.

Salvatore Francesco.

what the hell is this?
what does it mean?

I`ll kill him.

I`ll kill this son of a bitch.
I`ll kill him.

Shut up. Let me sleep, please.

Who did this to me?
who did this? who did this?

-Don`t ask me, Sal.
-Where`s Pete?

Still asleep.

Oh, still asleep? Get him up.

Take me to Francesco.
He`s busy right now.

Pete, who the hell is it?

Frank?

Frank, I didn`t know.

You swine.

You filthy excuse for a man

To use the cross of the church
where we once prayed together.

You have no...

-You have done this
despicable way.
-No,, my Frank.

-You`re a murderer. A coward.
-No.

You`ve always been a murderer.

But Frank, no.

You`ve always been a murderer.

But Frank, honest to God...

Don`t soil His name
with your lips.

-No.
-Get down on your knees.

But listen to me, Frank.

On your knees.

No way you can expunge
this if you beg forgiveness
for a thousand years.

You are excommunicated
from the sacraments.

Your soul is doomed
to purgatory.

I`ll never forgive you.

Once, I could pray for you
Salvatore Francesco, no more.

May God have mercy on you.

-Were the eggs okay?
-Oh, you`re getting closer.

I`ll get it.

-It could be important.
-I`m sure it is.

Hannah, when you pass
your bar exams,

one of the first practical
lessons you will learn
as a lawyer

is to avoid answering
the phone whenever possible.

Feel like doing some work?

why not?

Well, in that case,
you can file these
Francesco contracts.

It should`ve
been done yesterday.

And cancel my appointments.

Tell them I`ve gone
to Tijuana for the bullfights.

The bullfights?
That`s terrible.

So, is your cooking.

what`s happening?

There`s a call, Charlie.

Something terrible
has happened
to your grandmother.

Shit.

Something terrible must have
happened to her.

She`s been dead for 15 years.

Check the oil, baby, will you?

-Hello?
-Charlie?

-Yeah.
-what`s the matter with you?

Well, hello, your grace.
How are you?

Fine. I want you to come up
to San Francisco.

-There`s a job on.
-You got a good one, huh?

-I hope it`s not like Chicago.
-No, it`s not like Chicago.

Well,, what about Pittsburg?

-This will be a goodie.
-Uh-huh?

-It`s a lot of bread.
I give you my word.
- How much?

A million.

Your humbleness,
I will see you in 24 hours.
Bye.

Say, by the way, how did I do?

Terrific, you were number two.

That`s not good enough. Ciao.

The fat one who looks
like a fire hydrant
is Max Murder.

Now, he owns the south base.

Main interests
on loan tracking, extortion,

a truck line that moves
stolen property from city
to city

and on occasional murder.

Sounds like
a wonderful fellow.

Well, everybody`s got
to have a hobby.
who`s the black dude?

Oh, that`s Jack Greenwood.
He looks like a pimp

but he`s really an accountant.
Graduated first in his class
at Berkeley.

He runs a numbers operation
on the ghetto.

The white head one
who looks like Santa Clause,

he`s into gambling.

Big contacts in Vegas.
¤ented his appearance for you
is a killer.

I don`t know if he`s
into drugs but he`s certainly
got the muscle

and the machinery for it.

All the numbers` runners
are on the streets.

Have they made contact
with you yet?

No. But they will
unless they start shooting
instead of talking.

Things haven`t changed a bit,
have they, Ulysses?

That`s right.
Put another dime in.

Whatever you say old maestro.

But after this
you will allow me
to kiss your feet.

You can kiss my ass.

We have a problem.

Our friend Salvatore feels
that he`s been betrayed.

Someone used the general`s
gesture of his to bring it
to the country,

set in counter-band material
without Salvatore`s knowledge

or his agreement
using our church.

This brought disgrace
and embarrassment
to his family.

And he feels
particularly upset,,

because there are a lot
of ways to do this

without taking advantage
of a friend
or a business associate.

Look, Joe.

If you think somebody here
brought him that load of shit,
say so.

No one is making accusations.

We are here to work
on a problem.

Salvatore is asking our help

and I`ve decided
that he should have it.

We`re in business, Charlie.
They`re getting nervous
down there.

Now, whoever took the load
is suddenly very rich

and there`s no use
in a closet, they`ll have
to sell it.

Blast the bloody machine.

-Give me another dime.
-I don`t think I got...
You got my last one, man.

¤ight. We look for the money
then we`ll find the drugs
and the man.

Right.

Ulysses, wait a minute,,
what if this
is Francesco`s job?

I mean this whole thing
could be a set up.

He could have rigged
this whole job as a cover

then double cross himself
just to make it look good.

And man this is not just
some ordinary hood
we`re dealing with,

this is Tito Francesco,
your uncle.

What are you gonna do?

I`ll have to kill him.

I don`t think your
uncle`s gonna like that.

And what happens, Ulysses,,
before you get to him,,

he finds out that you
are the organization`s man?

Then he`ll kill me
and you too, Caro.

Me too, why me?
Hey, come on, Ulysses, why me?

I`m just a poor innocent white
Anglo-Saxon protestant.

And we all agree

to help Salvatore as much
as we can.

And we agreed that
when we find the person
responsible for this betrayal

of Salvatore Francesco,
we will be united
in his destruction.

what if it`s Francesco?

Even if it`s
Salvatore Francesco himself.

That`s for me.

Yeah? It`s for me.

I got it. That`s right.

Okay. Bye.

You guys waiting for a call?

What of it?

If someone wants to use
the phone, that phone is out
of order.

It must be important.
What about a drink?

It`s on the house.

-Gracias.
-Okay.

-That`s nice.
-Yeah.

Got anything to sell?
Well, we might.

Are you guys crazy?
You`ll get shit
in your brains.

-I want to go back to Sicily.
-In the meantime,, we broke.

If this deal is on a level,
I think I can help.

How?

I know a guy that can send us
some money.

-Seven percent all included.
-Seven percent a month?

A week.

Hey, if the call
comes through,
it`s just a question of ours.

Yeah,, sure. Are we gonna live
like bums having
a million bucks in our hands.

Shut up.

I`ll decide what to do.

- Si?
- Don Giuseppe?

Hey, Ulysses.

Good.

Even a respectable old man
must watch what he says
on the telephone.

You must find the jackals
who did this before there is
trouble amongst us.

Don Giuseppe?

No, don`t touch my arthritis.

At my age,
one should not complain
of such a small thing.

You know the problem,
what is your fee?

-Ten percent of the value.
-That could be a great deal.

Then 10% of a great deal.

You will, of course,,
return the material as part
of your work.

Do I make myself clear,
Ulysses?

Don Giuseppe, I do not deal
in the profits
of drug peddlers.

I understand. All I care about
is the removal of this problem
from the family.

There will be the usual sent
into your account
in Switzerland.

But there is one thing I
must tell you, Ulysses,,
listen to me well.

Francesco is a weak man
in some ways.

The last time when he tried
to retire it was only
because of you, he was not...

I remember it well.

Remember, there is no pardon
for him if there is
a second time, capisce?

-Capisce?
-D`accordo.

-So, we got a deal?
-We have a deal.

Hannah, get me on
the noon flight to Rome
and Sicily.

Sicily? Great.
I`m already packed.

Then get unpacked.
Huh?

-You can drive me
to the airport.
-What are you talking about?

Well,, I want you
to hit the streets.

You are looking for new faces
with new money or drugs

or maybe both, and not women.

Oh, please, your grace.

Now, listen,, this jealous
trick in your nature simply
got to stop.

I never knew you cared
that much.

All good Sicilians
come home again.

I`m only half Sicilian
that`s why it took me so long.

Well,, you can see
nothing changes here.

Our church has.
It seems naked
without the cross.

For 50,000 American dollars
and a new school I wish
we would make it to America.

You understand, don`t you?

I`m sorry,, but I`ve told you
all I know, Ulysses.

It`s not important,
Father Dominico.

For me, it`s enough to be
in my mother`s home again.

My dear Ulysses,
this is more than a home.

This is a refuge for you,
for his eminence,

for Salvatore and for all
the Sicilians who went
to America.

But home
is always home, father.

Si.

Oh. Si.

Mayor Rocca, I consider
myself indeed fortunate

to find you in your office.

You see,
I need your help.

I am very busy,
but I will try.

I was born here
many years ago

but I`ve always remember
the need of the people.

There is always a need.

And remembering that need,
I would like to make
a contribution to you

for some good public work
in return for a small service.

Just a moment, please.

Anything we can do
for one of our own

is a pleasure.

well, I`m glad you feel
that way.

As I said
it`s a small service.

I want the names of the last
10 men who left this place
and their destinations.

It is an unusual request.

It is an unusual donation.

Do you make
the contribution now?

No. After you`ve made
the list.

For various reasons,,
one must be discreet

about both lists
and donations,

you understand?

Hello, mama.

A very good friend of mine
tells me you might have

some directions
to Dream Street.

Oh, that`s not easy to find
around here, sonny.

Come on, mama,
don`t you jive me.

This friend of mine said
if you want to take a ride
on Dream Street

you go see mama
with the sweet, sweet feed.

I need it bad.

Look in your wallet
and see how bad.

Oh, mama, I need it bad,
really bad.

I think I got about $5.

10?

20.

For $20,,

you get one from column A
and one from column B

and the combine
special is $50.

$50 for that whole thing?

A lot of money.

Well, look, mama,
I`ll tell you what?

I`ll take what you have
in column A and let me see
some from column B.

All right. That`s right, mama.

Thank you very much.
Hope it doesn`t rain.

Don`t spend it
all in one place now.

You owe me 10 bucks.

And what`s been
happening here, Charlie?

Well, Ulysses,, you wouldn`t
believe this, but we`ve been
all over the world, right?

-we`ve had the best.
-Right.

Well, the other night
on Broadway, a sweet little
old lady laid some shit on me

that completely
revolutionized my...

Charlie,, you`re out
of your freaking mind.

Powdered milk.

-Then the stuff`s
still locked up.
-I guess so. Hello.

-Hello.
-Hi.

-Would you like
something else over here?
-I certainly would.

-How`s Martha
and the children?
-Who the hell is Martha?

That`s what I`d like to know.

Oh, no, darling,, please.
Don`t believe a word he says.

Charlie, the list of names
I acquired in Sicily.

We can eliminate the women
and children.

We`re looking for three men
who left Sicily
on the same day.

whoever is responsible
for the shipment wouldn`t
let it travel

without someone
riding shotgun.

They came with it,
they hijacked it,

and for my money,
they still have it.

Yeah,
there`ll be three of them.

Can you describe them
for me, George?

One is a... Yeah,
one is an old man,

fat, with a mustache.

Two other young ones,
one is tall,
one is a little shorter,

and they`re driving a big car.

-Uh-huh. How long had they
been working here?
-About two weeks.

Still here?

Only part time,
Thursdays and Saturdays.

Thursdays and Saturdays.
Okay, George, thanks a lot.

-You`ve been very helpful.
-Anytime.

Hey,, hey, you guys.
Hey, ain`t this
a great idea, huh?

Yeah. For me to borrow
the money to buy
this god damn car, eh?

Yeah, what do you think, eh?
Yeah.

When I risk my ass
for that son of a bitch
who leaves us on the hook,

I`m going to travel
first class.

-Hey, Haley,
how are you doing?
-Hello, Charlie. How are you?

Listen, you haven`t seen Chico
around here have you?

Yes, I have.
He`s right over there.

Okay, thanks a lot.
Looking good.

- Hello, Charlie.
- How are you doing, Barbara?

I`m doing fine, baby,
just fine.

Hi, Trish.

-She`s got a nice taste
in clothes, huh?
-How are you doing my man?

All right, Chico.
How`s it going?

You know me, stabbing horses
to steal blankets, huh?

Listen, my main man,
I need a favor.
Sure. Anything, baby.

In your recent travels
around the world,,

you didn`t by any chance hear
of any of the following men
have you?

Polanini, Forgazzi,

Pano, Nicoletta, Fortunate...

Hey, Charlie, Charlie,, look,,
I got... I dig,, you man,

you know, like, we go
back a long ways, right?

But why don`t you
just leave me
out of this, okay?

Hey, look, Chico, I would like
to leave you out of it

but I`m in a jam
and I need some help.

If you know something,
you got to spill.

-Oh, shit.
-I guess you`re forgetting...

...That I got you out
of that rape charge.

Charlie, look, man,,
I`d give you anything,

you know that,
do you want my clothes, man?

Do you want my woman, man?
But just leave me out of it,
just freeze on it,, okay?

But if you want to change
your mind
and consider yourself

one of my friends,
I`d appreciate it.

Otherwise, I`m going to spread
the word that you
are a turkey deluxe.

All right. All right.

I tell you only where
they`re hiding out at,
and that`s it.

Hey, your friends, the ones
you borrowed money from,
are looking for you.

what can I do?

Sell this stuff,
get out before it`s too late.

Hey, what`s going on?

-Shut up, don`t get involved.
-And why not?

I got to talk to you.

I`m in the middle of a game.
I`ll be right with you.

Come on let`s get him.

I got the son of a bitch.

If you borrow money,
you pay it back,
you understand?

You got 48 hours
to pay it back or else.

Understand? Forty-eight hours.

Oh, god.

Luigi?

Look, get up, get up.

Come on. Come on.

It`s okay.
we`ll take care of you.

-Yeah.
-Hello, master.

Sorry, to disturb you
at this moment

but some very interesting news
has developed.

Yeah?

Three of the names
on that list checked out,

Pano, Nicolleta,
and Fortunate.

They`ve been working
on the docks
for about two weeks.

Yes,, go on.

But when they started working,
they didn`t have a dead dime.

They were absolutely broke. Now,
one of the cats is driving some very fancy wheels.

Two of those sharks just did a heavy number
on Nicolleta so if you want to, I can...

-I can put some pressure
on them or...
-No, it won`t be necessary.

Let them do the work for us.

I`ll tell you what,
why don`t we have all the junk
taken off the streets?

Ulysses, you are
the true genius of the world.

who`s going to argue with you?

Okay.

This is from the old man
and he wants it done fast.

You get around to see
all of the guys,
every one of them.

Tell them to take
everything off the streets,

all the hard stuff and all
the grass, too.

Everything.

The town is going to explode.

-Then let it explode.
-well, he`s not so smart.

It could be in the streets
of Cincinnati,

Cleveland,
or maybe New Orleans,

New York, or Chicago, why not?

No, no,, if that`s the case,
you`ll hear the screams across
the whole country.

The old man wants
everything off the streets.

-Okay.
-Who tells the old man
what to do?

Why don`t you ask him?

-Nice place.
-It`s a dump,, it`s dirty.

The guy who cleans up
is a lush.

Well, at least you get
lots of laughs.

I never laugh.
You wouldn`t either
if you work here.

I never saw you here before.

Mister, hey, mister.

Hey, Marty.

-Any news?
-Nope.

-Give me cigarette, anyways.
-Of course,
the same old chicks.

Marty,

I need another five grand
in a hurry.

So do I.

You know, it`s a pain
in the ass to come here
every night and look at creeps like you.

It`s all because
of that damn call.

Hey, you said you got
a million dollar deal
on your hands

and you can`t raise
another five?

why don`t you phone them?

They get off the boat
then work five days

and think they can a buy
a 15 grand pussy wagon
on credit.

That bastard.

Why don`t we go to pick up
this shit and sell it?

They`ll kill us
if we touch it.

That`s the only way
we can make a contact.

At least we`d know
who they are.

-Hey, why we don`t sell
the god damn car?
-who`d buy the fucking thing?

You`ll never know.
Somebody might buy it.

This isn`t the kind of car
you stick in the middle
of the street

and people want to come up
to you and buy it.

Ciao, Belladonna.

Yeah, you know,
we can find it...

-Who? Tell me.
-we should try it.

Yeah, who? who`s going to buy
the damn car?

Excuse me, gentlemen.

I don`t wish to butt in,

but only this morning,
a friend of mine was asking me
where he could get

a good deal on an used car.

Looks pretty good,
not too shabby.
Not bad all.

I bet this baby
can really haul ass.

Hey,, maybe we can do
a good deal.

My uncle owns an agency.
He gives me below all cost.

No shit?

So you can have it
at a third of its price.

-How much?
-It`s yours for 8,000.

Eight thousand? Oh, no, man,
8,000 is too much money.

-I`ll give you five.
-No.

-Maybe we could do
a deal,, huh?
-Tell me something.

Why do you want to
sell it, anyway?

We`re leaving town.
We`re going
to the Philippines.

Yeah, you`re right,
the Philippines.

Well, I`ll tell you what.
I`m interested but I`ve got
to test drive it first.

Test drive?
But it`s absolutely new.

I don`t give a flying fart
if it`s absolutely new.

I have got to test it.
No test, no deal.

Okay. I take you
for a test drive.

It take us five minutes.

All right. Now, let`s see.

All right,, that`s
the steering wheel,
that`s the brake,, right?

That`s the...
that`s the accelerator, right?

-Are you sure you know
how to drive?
-Yeah, I think so.

I think I can drive this baby.

Okay. Let`s go
around the block,
but take it easy.

Okay. Don`t you worry
about a thing.

My motto is always
take it easy. Safety first.

Okay. Go around the block.

-Yeah. Okay. Ready?
-Ready.

Hold on, baby.
Daddy`s going to take you
on a cosmic ride.

Get away.

Get out
of the road, rookie.

Hey, you got nice
traction here.

wait,, wait, wait, wait,
wait, we`re turning
on the block.

Damn it.

we got it, we got it.
Don`t worry about a thing.

Burn it right there.
Yeah,, not bad.

It handles pretty good.

-I like this sucker.
It really moves.
-Yeah.

What`s that? Oh, that.

Uh-oh, down we go.

Oh, by the way,
I forgot to tell you.
Do you have insurance?

Warm up.

whoa.

-Wait, wait, wait. wait,, wait.
-Are you crazy?

Let`s go back.

You know, the thing about
this car that`s nice is that

it`s different
from other cars.

I mean, what year
is this model?
Oh, I better test the brakes.

No!

we better stop him

I just don`t understand it.
I used to know this city like
the back of my hand.

You`re not worried, are you?

well, we know the radio,
the steering wheel,
and the windshield wipers work

but I better test the brakes
one more time.

You all right?

Oh, my god, man, I mean,
look what you did
to the window?

-There he is.
-Get that car.

what`s the matter?
Are you nuts or something?

Oh, did we just
lose something?

Are you out
of your fucking mind?

- Wait, I`ll just back up here.
- Come here.

Now, I know where I`m going.
Don`t worry about a thing.

Yeah, here we go.

Uh-huh. Oh.

The door,, hey, will you,
it`s not safe to drive
like that.

Hey, is it my imagination
or is this car
getting lighter?

Mamma mia.

Parking, just a second.

Oh, can you tell me
how to get back to Broadway?

Oh, no, never mind.

Help. Help.

You know, no matter
what they say,,

these smog devices
don`t do a damn bit of good.

what`s wrong, baby?

well, it`s not bad
but I really don`t like
the color.

what can I say? Sorry.

Oh!

what can I say? Sorry.

There`s a very
destructive streak
in your make-up, Charlie.

It`s all part of the job.

well, there`s only one place
to go now.

But for God sake, be careful.

You`ll be walking around with
a million dollars` worth
of shit.

I know. I know.

Package for Luigi Nicolleta?

Luigi Nicolleta.

will you sign here, please?

- Hold it,, mister.
- Shit.

This street`s blocked off.

Yes, sir.

Call Ulysses
if you`ve got troubles.

He`s smart.
He`s your nephew.

Don`t I know it.

-I can`t trust
the son of a bitch.
-But he loves you.

You`re his family.

I only know one family.

Well?

There`s nothing
on the streets.

No,, I don`t want
to hear about it.

I only want one man.

And when he moves,,
I`ll blow his head off.

Hmm?

He`s with me, right?

That`s right.

That`s right, Pete.

Just like the good old days.

I thought it would be you.

I think its time to make
an arrangement.

We can sit down
for some breakfast and talk...

And talk it over
like men of...

Men of honor.

-I lost him.
-Oh, great.

But he picked up
the box at the post office.

Oh, let`s hope he doesn`t make
the drop.

Anyway, we`ve got
bigger problems,

somebody just hit Continenza,
the boss of bosses.

Oh, shit.

That means we don`t get paid.

Well, don`t you do
anything for free?

No, never.

Well, think of it as a new
and exciting experience.

-Right. Let`s go to Sausalito.
-Why Sausalito?

Because there is a man
over there who is considered
the best in the business.

-What business?
-what are we talking about?

Money.

Murder.

Ciao, Golio.

Ciao.

You want to bet I can get
to you before you can get
to the gun?

Do you need something?

-Charlie, here.
-Ah, molte grazie.

-Can he swim?
-He can shoot,
that I can guarantee.

He gets a hundred thousand
dollars a hit.

A hundred thousand?

At the rate he`s coming up,
he must keep it up his ass

in silver. -Maybe you better get him
up, Charlie. -Ulysses, please.

I don`t want to go
in there again.

-Charlie, go get him.
-Ulysses, did you see Jaws?

Help.

Charlie, I asked you
to help him.

I thought you wanted me
to help drown him?

No,, no, no, Charlie,
first we ask questions
then we drown him.

Bring him up.

Help.

My friend thinks
you should be drowned.

I think you`re worth saving.
It all depends on you.

Golio,, who hired you
to hit Continenza?

I didn`t hit Continenza.

Drown him.

He`s not kicking anymore.

-Maybe you
better bring him up.
-Yeah. Okay partner.

I turned the job down.

I didn`t want it.

If it`s going to have a war,
I`d stay out of it.
I`m neutral.

-Who tried to hire you?
-A call, a voice on the phone.

-Who?
-I don`t know.

-Drown him.
-No, don`t please.

Please. It was Francesco.

Look out.

No, no, no, don`t shoot.
Don`t shoot.

No, no, it`s me.

Sorry.

Moving pretty fast like
there`s something special
under that hood.

-Try to get back on the road.
-I will,, I will. Just relax.

Hold on tight.

we got trouble.

Maybe its business.

This reminds me of Le Mans.

Oh, my god.

Suggestion, Charlie,
the next time
you`re out shopping,

why don`t you pick up one
of those amphibious vehicles?

Very funny.
Nothing`s broken, is it?

Yes, my faith in your driving.

Well, thanks a lot.
Thanks for all
your friendly confidence.

Speaking of friendship,
if you consider Francesco
to be one of your friends,

I`d hate to meet some
of your enemies.

Perhaps you didn`t hear
Golio Pallitzi the last time
he was going down.

He`s final word was Francesco.

-You believe him?
-Believe him?

Well, look, we`re not
precisely in the world
of truthful people.

- How do you know
you can believe anybody?
-I don`t.

All right. Ulysses,
I`m telling you the time
is right to bust Francesco.

-Not yet.
-what are you waiting for,
a bullet in your head?

Charlie, this is
a family matter.

It will be settled
in the proper way.

Oh, screw that family.
Look, I am not in this
for laughs.

I am in this for the money
and there`s millions dollars
at stake and I...

-Piss off, take a walk.
-I`m walking.

Ulysses, what the hell does it
look like I`m doing?
I`m walking.

Then walk on the other side
of the road.

I`m sick
of your goddamn complaints.

It`s a pleasure. Believe me,
your grace.

It is a pleasure, you know,
you`re out of
your fucking mind, Ulysses.

The next time you want
a driver call a taxi.

Try driving
yourself for a change.
How do you like that, huh?

Oh, wait, wait, wait,
wait, sir,, sorry.

Ow. Ah!

You called for a car, sir?

Very nice.

Stealing a better
classic vehicle.
I trust it`s amphibious.

But of course, sir.
Only the best for you, sir.

Francesco?

Maybe.

Ulysses, I don`t see
enough of you.

Nor I of you, Francis.

Is this a business
or a personal call?

Francesco.

Come.

Hmm, now he sends his lawyer
to church like you do
in a police court.

He didn`t send me, Francis.

Quite frankly,
I need your help
in understanding him.

Sit down.

The problem is in many ways,
Francesco is closer to me
than any other.

After all,
he`s my mother`s brother.
We have the same blood.

All my life it was Francesco
I could trust.

He protected me.

He had me educated.

He loved me like the father
I never had.

You must not continue
to associate with him

and be tainted
with his corruption.

Why not, Francis?

Because he`s a killer first.

Sicilian, second.

And the last of all,
he is not your friend.

Not my friend?

That, I don`t believe.

He was a killer
when he was 15.

Fifteen?

How could he kill
when he was a boy?

We played together.

I remember no killing.

Go inside.

what`s the matter?
You didn`t like the sermon?

-I think I`ve figured it out.
-Good. That`s good, Sherlock.

It was the bishop,, right?

I know because he was wearing
green socks the night
of the murder.

I`d give my left arm
if it was as simple as that.

-Hurts pretty bad, huh?
-It hurts.

Come on, let`s step on stanza,
as we say in Sicily.

Thanks,, captain.

Well, that`s one down
and two to go.

Ciao.

Did you sell
your car yet?

-Which way?
-There!

watch out.

-Where the hell
did that come from?
-There.

All right. Freeze.

Ulysses, stay down.

Charlie, why is that
son of a bitch up there?

It`s all over, disgraziato.

Non vidi niente,
non sacciu niente.

What is he saying?

He`s lost his tongue.
It`s your last chance
to stay alive.

I didn`t see nothing,
I don`t know nothing.
E la mia parola d`onore.

-Your last chance.
-Non vidi niente,
non sacciu niente.

You`re going to tell
the organization
who set you up.

Shit. We lost him.

But look. At least we came up
with the goods.

I bet there`s four,
five million dollars` worth
of shit in here.

We split that
a couple of ways,
we take a nice vacation.

Charlie, let`s go
back to work.

Pardon me, sweetheart.

Could you please tell me
where the powdered milk is?

At row four behind the sugar
in front of the flour,

pasteurized, pulverized,
reconstituted, dehydrated
and skimmed.

Add water, sir.
It tastes like shit.

Thanks.

Freeze!

Those gymnastics
are slowing you down, Joe.

What do you want?
I don`t want anything, you do.

I`ve got the box
and the junk`s still in it.

It`s for sale.
what are you talking about?

The box.
You and your associates
are going to buy it.

-How much?
-One million in cash.

It`s worth three
of four million on the streets

but we`re not
in that business.

-we all settle for a million.
-Nobody`s got a million.

Then get it by tonight.

I`ll tell you where,
you bring the cash,

you get the box.

Here it is. Come and get it.

A minute, please.

Wait a minute.
I don`t know anything
about it.

We just got a call.

No, no, no,

no, not me.

I`m finished praying.

I came to talk not to pray.

You have to stop Ulysses.

I can no more stop him than,,
I could stop you.

-Does he know all of it?
-He knows.

Sal,, why did you use
the cross? It was your gift.

No one would believed
I could be so stupid
or so smart.

Do you want
just another million dollars?

No, drugs had nothing
to do with it.

I wanted Continenza
and his men
of the organization.

Now, you have them
and they have you.

Goodbye, Frank.

Goodbye, Sal.

Seems awfully quiet,
almost too quiet.

I will take it
from here, Charlie.

What do you mean?

Faccia a faccia.

Faccia a faccia,
face to face?

It`s family business.

Okay. Give my regards
to the family.
I`ll see you around, I hope.

Why are we stopping here?

It`s the end
of the road, Charlie.

what are you talking about?

-I`m going into retirement.
-Retire?

I`ve always wanted
a place up high.
Look at that.

Can you imagine what sort
of a view you`ll get
from up there?

Just living among the clouds,

seagulls, the neighbors,,

the occasional sparrow
dropping in for lunch.

Sparrow dropping in for lunch?
Hey, Ulysses,
the car, wait, wait!

The car, my car, wait.

Oh my God.

Oh, what`s the matter,
Charlie?

It was only powdered milk,
wasn`t it?

I mean, what`s the use
of crying over powdered milk?
