It's all in vain.

They are rascals, those two sons.

Handsome.

If I remember them well,

really handsome.

Here, they were two lazybones,

and over there they've disappeared.

If that was my mother,

I'd drown you in your own water.

Why? Was I supposed

to force her eyes open?

You shouldn't have taken advantage

of a poor wretched woman

who doesn't even have air to breathe.

That woman,

she could live like a queen.

Comfortably seated and nursed.

At the hospice.

In her son's house.

If she wanted to.

But she doesn't want to.

What do you mean?

Has she another son?

That one.

There's no grass for grazing

over there.

But he brought his cows here

because he knew that his mother

would come here

for the caravan's departure.

Like he always does.

He follows her.

Why have you always hid

this other son from me?

You have to drink.

You need to.

Can't you see?

I'm in a cold sweat because

you mentioned that son, sir.

But why?

What has he done to you?

Oh, nothing.

He's good, respectful, honest.

Then I don't understand why

you don't want to live at his place.

Because I gave birth to him.

But he's not my son.

Do you really want me to believe

that you are truly mad?

Certain things,

you can't even imagine them, sir.

Because you're still a young boy, sir.

Drink. Drink.

It's good for you at your age.

What you mean, young boy?

If you don't tell me about this son of

yours, I won't write a letter for you.

Tie up a handkerchief

on top of the reed.

This way we'll be able to greet them

even when they are far away.

You weren't even in God's mind, sir.

And I saw them with my own eyes.

Dark things. Dark things.

Have you ever heard

of a certain Cunebardo, sir?

-Cunebardo?

-Cunebardo, Cunebardo.

Who used to say he would

have brought freedom.

Garibaldi! Garibaldi!

Yes, him.

He came by our land

and made the villages and the cities

rebel against the unjust laws.

Cunebardo ordered

that all the prisons be opened.

Good people were released,

but bad peopIe, too.

Bloodthirsty beasts,

enraged by too many years

spent in captivity.

There was a particularly

ferocious one.

Comizzi.

He killed human beings

just like that.

And one like him.

His assistant,

Rocco Trupia.

Comizzi and Trupia

stormed the countryside.

And those farmers who didn't want

to follow them, they killed them.

Comizzi and Trupia

took him away, too.

My husband.

I already had those two little kids

who are in America now.

Two days later,

I saw him come back.

He wasn't himself anymore.

He couldn't speak with his eyes

filled with the things he had seen.

-Nino, are you injured?

-No.

You ran away then.

They will kill you.

I can walk on my own.
