[soft music]
[tapping]
[knocking on door]
[knocking continues]
One moment, I'm coming!
Good morning.
- [woman 1] Good morning. - [woman 2] Morning.
What can I do for you?
An offering for Santa Rita da Cascia.
[Angelo's uncle] Wait one moment,
I'll go get something.
Thanks.
[soft music continues in background]
[Paisano's sister] And where is your nephew?
[music stops]
Why? Are you looking for him?
Anyway, we know he'll be here soon.
[wind whistling]
- [Mimì] ...and 20, 40. 28... - [Tricktaker] Hurry up, come on!
We've loaded 68 boxes.
Guys, another four and we're done.
Three at a time, come on!
[men] Quick, quick! Go, go!
Guys, Don Corrado is sending us another shipment tomorrow.
If this keeps up, we'll need another guy.
What's the problem? The neighborhood is ours.
[Tricktaker] Angiolè, we need another place.
It's too many cigarettes to keep them all here.
We'll find one. Don't worry. Hurry up, come on!
All right. Shall we eat together?
Sorry, I promised Uncle Tonino that I would eat with him.
All right, Angiolè, no worries. Next time.
[Tricktaker] See you.
[Angelo] Take care.
May the Virgin Mary be with you, Angiolè!
[Angelo] Uncle, I'm here!
Come with me.
[Imma] What're you doing?
Don't worry, nobody's here at this hour.
We don't have permission to go in.
All the better.
[rattling]
[Imma] Why'd you bring me here?
[Pietro] Can I ask you a question?
What?
Where's America?
Far away.
So, we can never go there?
- Where? - To New York.
To the music school you like so much.
- That dream no longer exists. - Why?
You're the one who told me.
Even if a dream seems impossible,
you must never give up.
I already have my dream.
You're all I need.
Me too.
Let's leave here.
To New York, then?
Wherever you want.
[Pietro] Come here, come!
[lively music]
Take what you want.
We'll go to America with American clothes.
Isn't that stealing?
- [Imma chuckles] - Who gives a shit?
[both laugh]
[music continues]
[chuckles]

FUNERAL SERVICES PICARIELLO
[Angelo sobbing]
[suspenseful music]
[Mimì] Angiolè.
They've gotta put his suit on now.
Angiolè.
[Angelo sniffles]
Michele. Calm down.
You gotta shut up!
[Michele] Are you sure?
- Are you sure? - What's going on?
What's happening is that the people we trusted messed up!
Angelo's alive.
[Michele] They killed his uncle.
Don Antonio, this is not the end of it.
[Michele] Now we're worse off than before.
That shithead will be all over us for sure.
We've gotta kill him right away.
The boss's son isn't a hysterical girl.
If he loses, if he falls down,
he gets back up and doesn't cry!
[Antonio] Got it?
You have to do what I say!
And all of you have to do what I say too!
What do we have to do, then?
We've got to stay calm.
We must not make a move.
This death isn't our problem.
And I'm sure whoever messed up will fix everything,
if they want Secondigliano.
Then, if we need to fight...
we'll fight.
[panting]
I'll fight, Dad.
But when will you finally fight alongside me?
[somber music]
[Imma] Annalisa.
Imma.
- Am I bothering you? - No, come, have a seat.
Are you moving out?
A forced move.
Everything you see here belongs to Donna Concetta.
He didn't have anything in his name.
The only thing he owned was me.
[Annalisa] But I'm useless to his aunt.
And useless things can just be thrown away.
And why did you come?
I'm leaving Saturday.
For America.
[Imma] After what happened, I can't live here anymore.
I need to start over somewhere else.
Is this your idea...
or does that kid have something to do with it?
Pietro.
Both things.
Imma, when I got married, I had no choice.
You have one.
Love is like a flower.
It wilts quickly.
You go to bed with Prince Charming
and you wake up with a master.
Not every man is like Nicola.
Pietro is different.
Yeah?
I hope so, for your sake.
[harsh exhale]
All right. I just came to say goodbye.
Imma.
I have something for you.
[Annalisa] I made it like Chanel.
This is my favorite.
May I?
We forget everything...
but not a scent.
A scent is unforgettable.
[gentle music]
Good luck.
[Angelo] The photo I chose for my uncle is nice.
Isn't it?
It's nice, Angiolè. It's really nice.
After the funeral,
we'll bring him here to the family mausoleum.
Near my mom.
[Angelo] That was his wish.
I came to offer you my condolences.
And I think what I have to say might be helpful to you.
What do you know?
I know who did it.
But maybe you know too.
Only that demon, the Saint, could've done it.
It's like you say. He's a demon.
And so? How can you help me?
The time has come to free ourselves
from those who laugh in our faces,
those who have no conscience.
[Paisano's sister] These people need to be taught a lesson.
And you are the right man to teach it to them.
Our era will belong to the sons and daughters of our people.
[Paisano's sister] It's my brother's biggest dream.
And my dream.
And I think it's yours as well.
Your uncle was a good person.
And he was innocent.
If revenge is what you want, I can help you.
Again, my condolences.
[Mimì] If war is what they want...
we're ready.
Angiolè, you just have to tell us what to do.
There's no war.
[Angelo] Nothing to be done.
What the Saint did was a personal matter
between him and me.
[Angelo] We must remain calm now.
We've already mourned too many dead.
For you all and for me, I want a different life.
[somber music]
[door opens]
So?
Do you have any news for me?
The Saint.
[man 1] He's lost his mind.
And what does he want to do?
[man 1] He wants to kill Angelo.
But Don Antonio said no.
That he has to wait.
I don't think that the Saint will behave.
We have to bury him.
Now.
You two won't be alone.
This is just idle talk. I need something tangible.
[man 2] Tomorrow night,
he and his father are going to see
a thoroughbred at the racetrack.
It's a good opportunity.
It'll just be the two of them. And us.
Can we trust them?
[man 1] The words Donna Anna said in that restaurant
touched our hearts.
And from that moment,
we've wanted to be a part of the new humanity
that Donna Anna told us about.
We're proud of you.
And now...
make Don Angelo proud as well.
This isn't just public housing...
that will be allocated fairly...
based on a list that prioritizes...
protecting the most vulnerable.
[crowd murmuring]
Here, today...
you have in front of your eyes...
the future.
A future full of promise and hope.
For everyone.
A new way of being in the world,
to grow together with respect...
and following the law!
[applause, cheering]
[Concetta] So, what do you want? I don't have time to waste.
You're working to give a home to all these people.
But you don't give a damn
if your own blood ends up on the street.
Annali'.
Enough with this charade.
It's your fault.
You killed your husband yourself.
And now, you even want a reward?
I've always admired you, Donna Concè.
And do you know why?
Because you had the guts to not get married.
You never needed a man who bosses you around
when things go well
and smacks you around when they go badly.
All these words are really boring me.
What do you want, Annali'?
I want to stay in my home.
And money to live decently
and raise that child who also has your blood.
What do you want, an allowance? A pension?
If you put this grudge aside...
I know something that could be of great interest to you.
Let's hear it.
And the grudge?
I knew Nicola was a piece of shit.
Now, speak.
Cosimo Aiato's daughter is about to run away to America.
- And how do you know? - She told me.
- When? - Tonight.
And she's not going alone.
She's going with one of Angelo the Siren's guys.
Annali'. You're a snake.
But I like this poison.
[scoffs]
Pietro, food's ready!
- Tò, do you want some cheese? - [Tonì] No, I've got some here.
How much cheese does he need?
Let's eat.
[Manuele] Lè, do you want some wine?
- [Lello] No, thanks. - [Lil' Fire] I do.
[soft music]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Manuele] Bread and wine. Get it. Quick, quick!
How's the wine?
It's good.
Tò. Want some bell peppers?
[Tonì] More?
[Lucia] It's your second, enough.
- [Tonì] Why don't you eat it? - [chuckles]
- Because he doesn't like them. - A bruschetta?
- [Tonì] No. - Some ricotta?
- [Tonì] No. - [Pietro] I'm leaving.
Tonight.
I'm leaving for America.
[Lello] For America? And us?
I thought about it a lot.
It breaks my heart, but I have to go.
But I can always write to you.
I can call you, at the bar.
Hey, Lè! This is for you.
Go get treatment.
[Pietro] From the best doctors there are.
So when I'm all settled, you can all come live with me.
You'll be an American champion.
And you'll marry China Girl.
Manuè.
I'll introduce you to a nice American girl.
I have to get you married.
Lucì.
When you come, I swear to God, I'll turn you into a lady.
It's heaven there.
There's room for everyone.
There's work for everyone.
How long before we get to see you again?
It's that girl, right?
Are you going to America for Imma?
- Yes, but it's not just that. - Then why?
I have two paths in front of me.
Each goes in a different direction.
Lucì, believe me.
It's better if I leave.
Don't ever forget about us, though!
Don't worry, Lil' Fire.
[melancholy music]
To Pietro.
[all] To Pietro! To Pietro!
[clinking]
[Cosimo] Do you want to tell me what happened?
Did you really need to come here?
[Concetta] Don't worry. I'm here for you.
[Cosimo] Tell me. You're making me worry.
[Concetta] Your daughter has decided to run away
with a street kid.
[Cosimo] That's not possible.
[Concetta] You think I'd bother coming all the way here,
with your wife in the next room, just to tell you lies?
[Cosimo] I can't believe that Imma would do such a thing.
[Concetta] Why not? Don't you and I both know
that love makes people do crazy things?
He works for Angelo the Siren.
The boy who's dating your daughter is no good.
Thank you.
It's not just about what you've got in your pants.
You and I, together, do really great business.
[Concetta] And with Angelino,
who now controls the neighborhood,
we have to maintain a good relationship.
So, don't worry.
I know very well that Imma is the most important thing
in your life.
[Imma] You're Concetta Rizzo's lover?
Imma!
You say you're a victim, but you're an accomplice!
Shut up! Come here! Imma!
Come here!
Who are you? I don't know you!
I'm your father! Shut up and walk!
- What's going on? - [Cosimo] Nothing.
She needs to get her ideas straight.
And you knew? You knew?
[Cosimo] Come here!
Move it!
- [Imma] Let me go! - [Cosimo] Walk!
[Imma] Let me go!
Let me go!
[Cosimo] Go on!
[Imma shouting] Open up! Mom!
Imma must stay locked in here until I decide! Is that clear?
[Imma bangs on door] Dad, let me out!
Mom! Mom, open up, please!
[sighs]
[knocking on door]
[gun clicks]
[Pietro] Angiolè.
It's Pietro.
[door bolt clicks]
America's great.
How long's the trip?
[Pietro] Two weeks.
You're smart to leave.
And you?
I'm staying here.
You can't lie to me.
I know you're going after the Villas.
And you're going alone.
It's the only thing that matters to you.
Killing those assholes to avenge your uncle.
I'm like you.
That's why I know.
Look me in the eyes and tell me it's not true.
Tell me it's not true.
It was Uncle Tonino's.
And now it's yours.
This is my gift.
The time we have is so brief.
But you're right about one thing.
You are like me.
You and I are brothers.
Forever.
[melancholy music]
[Pietro] Where are you going?
To see a horse race.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[music continues]
[door rattles]
Get outta here.
Go.
[music continues]
[panting]
Did you see?
[panting]
Go!
- [shouts] Go! - [Diego shouts excitedly]
One twenty-eight. A record for the racetrack.
An excellent time, Don Antonio.
[chuckles]
Let's hope the price tag isn't record-breaking.
It's money well spent. Come with me to the stables.
[man] I'll show you what a thoroughbred you're buying.
I'll lead the way.
When I make a choice,
it's always the right one, son.
- Remember that. - I know, Dad.
You're always right.
[ominous music]
[horse neighing]
[creaking]
[suspenseful music]
[horse snorting]
[horses grunting, neighing]
[suspenseful music continues]
[car door closes]
[footsteps thumping]
[man 2] Turn around, rat!
- [man 1] No! - [gunshot]
- [horses neighing] - [suspenseful music]
[Michele] What's wrong, Angiolè?
Did you really think all of our people would side with you?
I thought you were a little smarter than that, Siren.
Our people love us. You're the one alone!
I have never betrayed my family!
Come out, be a good boy.
[Michele] I'll tell you one last time,
otherwise, we're coming in.
Michè, I don't give a shit about dying!
But I'm not the only one dying tonight!
Angelo. Be reasonable.
[tense music]
Let's go get him. Go in there and kill that scumbag.
As you wish. We'll come in and get you.
[horses whinnying]
[neighing]
[panting]
- [gunshot echoes] - Drive, drive!
[shattering]
[groaning in pain]
[tense music continues]
[nervous breathing]
[gunshots]
[grunts]
[gunshots]
[grunting]
[Pietro] Angiolè, hey! Hold still.
[panting]
[tense music]
Michè. Michè. Michè!
[gunshots rattling]
[whimpers]
Angiolè.
[panting]
[Angelo] Get out.
[car door clicking]
[creaking]
Don Antò.
Your son left you all alone?
I gave you Secondigliano.
I made you into a boss.
[Antonio] Now, if you want, I can give you all of Naples.
[grunts]
Counselor.
Go back to your boss.
And tell him what I did.
[Angelo] He's next.
Get out of here.
[gasping]
[footsteps fade]
[exclaims]
- [Mimì] Hey! - [Pietro] Hey, Angiolè!
- [Mimì] Put this inside. - [Pietro] Angiolè.
What were you trying to do? Kill yourself?
If it weren't for Pietro telling us,
we'd be having another funeral now.
[Mimì] Let's go!
Let's go the car. Come on!
[melancholy music]
[melancholy music continues]
[faint horn honking]
[wind whistling]

[gulls squawking]
[ticking continues]

It's begun.
