You told me?

Told you Capuana was a friend

of that guy, Saledino,

and that Saledino is

a friend of Ferrara,

and that it's Ferrara who

collects for Patranka!

Ah, so Capuana is tied to Patranka?

And when did you ever tell me this?

You're always yakking and yakking,

and breaking my balls Colicchia,

but the one important thing need to know

you don't even tell me!

Nino, what do you mean!?

You said if you started

checking the criminal

records of all your customers, you'd go

bankrupt!

Excuse me, one coffee please.

- No we're closed.

- It's closed!

You always tell me that talk nonsense,

that I'm like an idiot!

You're worse than an idiot!

You're a pensioner in prison, a

failed purse snatcher.. a parasite!

Look at yourself! Just look!

What, so you're saying you're

keeping me out of pity?

Yes, that's just what I'm saying!

Sebastiano Colicchia?!

You know what say Peralta? I'M LEAVING

YOU!

Ah h, leave then!

Colicchia... Colicchia wait!

Go back to work.

No, not even if you doubled my pay!

And another thing, you

better give me every

last lira that you owe me!

And my holiday in lieu.

- And your Christmas bonus too?!

- Yes!

Everything.

My friendship with you is finished.

Can't insult me like that.

- You're too touchy..

- Well, I'm easily offended.

Colicchia wait! Where are you going,

Colicchia?

That's only my business

and no concern of yours.

Look here, Nino!

They were looking for Capuana and they finally

found his body on a train in Messina.

They were too fast for poor Capuana!

What things do they order?

Capuccino and brioche (French

pastry) in the morning,

In the afternoon, coffee.

For Capuana, sometimes mandarin punch.

And you never saw anything strange?

But how? For 3 weeks the woman was locked up in

there yet they allowed you to enter and leave?

Seems a little risky to me.

Excuse me sir but to change their

normal daily routine could

have been even riskier

for the kidnappers?

Someone would have wondered what was

going on in there?

See you were a fisherman once,

why did you change jobs?

Quit when the Tunisian

boats opened fire on us.

And became a car thief!

We needed to eat.

Who holds the license for your stall?

My wife. have a prison record.

And how long did you do?

Two years.

Reduced for good behaviour sir.

And why all this sympathy?

I'm who arrested him.

You can go.

Really sir, look,

wasn't even in Palermo!

Thanks Sergeant.

You know, I've been

having this suspicion

that Nino Peralta really was implicated?

And was wondering what part you played,

of the lawyer or the gang

that kidnapped the woman?

Because here we have a

very serious situation.

But you know me, always mind my own
