Salvatore Giuliano Page #2

in a plane on its way from Tunis.

The carabinieri had been waiting

on the Via Cangini since 10:00.

So you even knew Giuliano's

exact route through the streets?

You'll be given all the details

at the press conference.

Two men appeared at the end of

the street. One of them was Giuliano.

The carabinieri ordered them to stop,

and the two outlaws tried to run.

The carabinieri opened fire

and shot him dead.

And Giuliano didn't shoot?

Of course he did.

Bullets were flying everywhere.

- And the carabinieri weren't wounded?

- Not one.

- Do you live here?

- Yes, sir.

So you heard last night.

What happened?

Three revolver shots.

- Only three?

- Yes, sir.

And after a while, a machine gun.

But they said the street was full of outlaws

and carabinieri shooting for an hour.

It's not true. It's all a lie.

The chase, the shoot-out, all that racket -

what time did that start?

We didn't hear anything.

Just three revolver shots,

and about a half hour later,

a machine gun went off.

- And you didn't see anyone go by?

- No, no one went by.

You didn't hear Giuliano go by,

followed by the carabinieri?

Just three revolver shots

and the machine gun.

Could I have a glass?

One for me too, please.

What did you think of Giuliano?

- Took from the rich, gave to the poor.

- That's it?

Yes, sir, that's it.

Where are you from?

- Rome.

What do you know about Sicily?

The only thing we know

for certain is that he's dead.

The eyewitness accounts conflict

with the official version of the facts.

However, if this outlaw lies dead today,

we can thank the carabinieri.

Carry on.

This is the plain around Montelepre;

with one town after another.:

Giardinello; Torretta; Carini;

Partinico; Alcamo.

Andjust a few miles away; Palermo.

The long mountain range of Sagana;

Monte Calcerame and Monte d'Oro.

Giuliano's kingdom; protected

by omerta, passion and terror.

Montelepre lies at the foot

of the mountain.

You can see people in the streets

and hear their voices.

From the terrace ofhis house; Turiddu

receives signals from his mother.

The town is full of carabinieri;

but they can't lay their hands

on the outlaw.

A field radio warns the colonel

of any enemy movement.

Mortar fire and heavy machine guns

protect the small army

of outlaws and separatist fanatics.

From the mountaintop; all movement

is monitored and countered.

Giuliano's guns are trained

on the long; white; dusty roads.

On the other side of Sicily;

the eastern side; in 1946;

a company of soldiers quickly

defeated the separatist rebels.

But the king of Montelepre

remains enthroned in his kingdom.

What are you doing?

Close the shutters!

- What's going on?
