Salvatore Giuliano Page #3

- They say the soldiers are coming.

Let's go and see.

Why couldn't they give me

advance warning for once?

The whole town knows before we do!

Of course. Giuliano has a radio,

and we can't telephone Palermo.

- Sir, you're expected at town hall.

- Send Tomasetto and Comito.

Please come in, Major.

These will make fine accommodations

for our headquarters.

I'll inform the mayor right away.

Even the smallest Italian town

can be a museum.

- At your service, Major.

- Come in, Marshal.

I need to house 300 soldiers.

- Where will I put 300 soldiers?

You can commandeer spare rooms

in private homes.

Allow me to advise against

using private homes, Major.

This territory is rather hostile.

We'll discuss the territory

at some other time.

First we have to find

housing for the men.

There is a warehouse,

but it's a ways out of town.

Valle, go with the marshal,

and take two men with you.

- Yes, sir.

- Forgive me if I insist, Major.

Perhaps we should send someone

ahead to let the townspeople know.

- To avoid surprises.

- Enough with the complications. Go.

Of course, Major.

Now I see why they never get

anything done in this place.

Keep close to the wall.

It's safer.

You have to understand the major.

We northerners are out of our element.

- So are we, and we're from here.

- Let's go.

Open up.!

- Who is it?

- We have wounded men here.!

Over there.

Lieutenant.

Hear ye, hear ye!

By order of the army,

a curfew is now in force.

No one may go outside

without permission from the authorities.

Don't shoot unless I do.

Tell the others.

These lunatics are serious.

Damn it! I survived a war,

only to get killed by savages

in this godforsaken wasteland!

Why are they shooting?

Are they outlaws or partisans?

Why doesn't Italy just give

these people their independence?

Why did they send us down here?

One plane would take care of them.

Lieutenant, take them all back.

Boys, we're retreating.

Hear ye, hear ye!

By order of the army,

you have one hour

to get water and shop for food.

In May 1946;

Sicily was granted its independence.

Separatism had not been in vain.

In June; King Umberto II

left the government.

The Italian Republic granted amnesty

for all political crimes.

Even those who had fought for EVIS

were free to return to their homes.

The attorney is expecting you.

You can come in.

- Our respects, sir.

- God bless you, sir.

God bless you, sir.

Bless you, sir.

What do they want from me?

Do they think this is

the carabinieri barracks?

Didn't the prince write in his letter

that we should come here?

- The prince sent us to you.

- The prince!

Now that you're friends with the prince,

you think it's going to be easy.
