Ricco

Rest in peace, Don Gaspare.

RICCO THE MEAN MACHINE

Officer: Hey...

Don't you know it's against the law to walk on the highway?

Man: No, I didn't know.

Officer: Let's see your identification.

Just out of school, huh?

Where you headed?

On vacation.

Come on, hop in.

You mind telling us what you're in for?

I don't have to answer that do I?

You think you're pretty smart don't you?

I'm learning.

Another client gone away.

We're never going to make any money.

From the sound, it was a little car.

We're not losing much.

Yeah, for you they're all little cars.

And what about me sweetheart, huh?

Aren't I worth more then money? Tell me.

Aren't I worth more? (Chuckling)

Coming! I'll be right down!

Concetta, hey, look who's here!

Ricco!

Thanks a lot.

It's been a pleasure.

Just see you stay out of school.

Ricco!

Oh, you're back.

You didn't escape did you, Ricco?

No, a year off for good behavior.

- Oh. - Hey, you changed!

You look a lot stronger sport!

Hey! (Laughing, honking)

Coming!

Come on.

I don't have all day. (Honking)

And mother?

Mom is very old.

She's lost all she had.

She only thinks of vengeance.

But we're still young, and I want to live in peace, Ricco.

What's stopping you?

Come.

Do you like the car we just bought?

Come.

We want to convert the house into a motel.

Very good.

Stay here with us, Ricco.

And get a new life. It's the best thing you can do.

I'll think about it.

Ricco?

Oh, son, my son...

You're back with me at last.

Everything comes when you know how to wait.

Man: You like your new car?

Ricco: Do You?

It cost ten million lira.

Whose, your contributors?

If you're not happy with my method of working,

There's no objection to your accepting my gifts.

I have no will.

You're lacking many things.

When I was your age I wasn't driving a convertible.

I didn't have money to spend in clubs.

Father, please, not again.

I know what you were doing at my age.

Yeah, I fought.

I had to defend myself.

I didn't let people crush me.

And for that you need strong nerves and a strong heart!

And I had them!

I proved it.

But you, you haven't proved anything.

I also have a body.

The organization, this factory...

Everything I have, I fought for!

Twenty years without rest, without pity.

Now someone comes who wants to eat the cake!

He takes away my contributors.

He threatens my friends.

Now tell me, how would you handle it?

I don't know.

I never liked your style.

At times I think I made a mistake with you.

Everything's been too easy for you.

You've never been faced with the necessity of...

Of killing?

Why not?

In this world, the moment always comes when we must kill,

Or die.

And you're still alive.

I've never been weak myself.

I guess that's why I don't like weak men.

Sometimes I ask myself,

What kind of a man are you?

You'll never know.

On phone: Yes?

My son has Just gone out.

Advise the boys.

Right away, Chief.

Alright, look out.

- Okay. - You too.

- Okay, get ready. - Mm-hmm.

Hey, Ricco, give me a hand.

Hey, Ricco, what's the matter?

Hey, you weak in the knees?

Listen, tonight we've got to take care of a guy...

Who don't want to pay.

Want to come along?

No, he couldn't.

He has a date in bed with one of the dancers.

That's why he's weak in the knees.

Now, why don't you guys leave me...

I've been set up.

The Chief is worried about you.

Not really.

You see, he knows you won't hurt me,

But I can hurt you.

I have the advantage.

They destroyed his head you know.

I barely could recognize him.

Now, I am not able to remember him as he was before that,

But as he was there in the morgue.

On top of that, they robbed us of everything.

When I first went in,

The thought of revenge wouldn't even let me sleep.

But two years Is a long time, mother.

I grew tired.

And now...

And now, what do you plan to do?

I don't know.

Foolish daughter, who can't think of anything else

but playing with her man, nothing more.

And you, staring off into the mountains...

And saying you don't know what you're going to do.

At your age?

Your father would have known exactly what to do.

I know what you want.

Yes, but it is you, Ricco,

Who must want it.

Your father defended himself with this.

Before he was killed.

I'm sure you'll know how to use it.

Keep it.

If I do it, I'll do it my own way.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

So you're going to kill everybody.

It's not important that you go back to jail.

I don't understand her. Sometimes I think she's crazy.

Come on now, she's had a rough time.

One night she had everything,

the next morning nothing.

Yes, true, and also a life of fear.

Remember how we lived before?

Always afraid, and for what?

And finally what had to happen took place.

You know what happened to Rosa?

No, not her, the friends of papa.

I suppose they're still living in Torino.

And no one helped her?

No, after you tried to kill Don Vito,

They disappeared as though we had the plague.

Great friends.

In the beginning I thought the same as you.

Not now. Now we live quietly and in peace.

You've got to think the same way.

- I do. - Hmm.

I just want to see their faces when they see me.

That's what you call vengeance.

No, just a little fun.

Ricco, I'm expecting a child.

Only one?

The way you keep trying,

I was expecting you to have a dozen.

Woman: What is it?

What do you want?

I'm looking for Giuseppe Calogero.
