The Italian Connection (La Mala Ordina) (La mala ordina)

The man to be killed is a certain...

Luca Canali, a pimp from Milan.

He worked for Don Vito Tressoldi's family but was worthless.

After a couple of years Don Vito got rid of him

and he ended up in the world of prostitution.

Now he's tried a big job.

You have to kill him without hiding it,

so that the whole of Milan will talk about it.

The whole of Italy must talk about it.

Everyone must know you came from New York,

to hunt down Luca Canali and squash him like a louse.

That you came to Milan,

you played like the bosses and then you left.

They must know that who screws up has got no chance,

that New York itself deals with it

and takes on the task of filling their mouth with lead.

This is our man in Milan, Luca Canali.

Luca, the Baron and Peppinello are fighting!

- Come! - Excuse me.

I'll knock you senseless!

I'll make you see stars!

Let's have some manners!

No playing games!

Goodbye, guys.

He sometimes faints.

Peppinuccio! Get up. Boy!

Damiano!

Once you have killed him, there will be an airplane

waiting for you at a private airport in Milan.

It will take you to Switzerland.

Our last cargo of heroin hasn't arrived.

They pretended to load it in Milan and they stole it.

They committed a very big mistake.

My Interpol friends tell me that stuff was sold elsewhere

and not confiscated.

The man who stole it is becoming powerful.

We have to stop him from becoming even more powerful.

We have to force him to give himself away.

We may not need to, seeing that the information is correct.

I don't want him killed in any old place,

but on an opening night at the Scala theatre and then hung from the Duomo.

I want it to be spectacular!

Obviously, our friends in Milan do not know

they have a traitor amongst them.

I didn't mention it to Tressoldi.

I would rather you dealt with it.

Tressoldi might not like the fact it's us that take action in Milan.

If he can't look after his own men, we'll teach him how!

First, you'll go to him to ask him to cooperate.

He has to hand Luca Canali over to you,

but you are the ones that must kill him.

The Italians have a strange type of gangster in mind,

they see him being exactly like you,

and you have to dress and act like gangsters.

Drink, leave big tips, put your feet on tables,

they hate that in Italy.

You have to act the part so that everyone knows who you are.

That's why I chose you.

Here is everything you need.

There's a woman waiting for you, she knows nothing,

but she'll take you round the city.

I chose you because he fought in Italy...

And because I am of Italian descent.

Right, and because you both speak Italian.

THE ITALIAN CONNECTION

- Bye girls. - Bye.

- Do you know her? - Yes and I know the blonde one too.

- They are all under-age. - All under-age whores, you mean.

100,000 liras a time, let's say 5 times a week,

that's 20 a month.

- How much does that make? - Two million liras!

That's not bad, for an under-age worker!

They never take a break and with the overtime...

just think how much they make!

Look who it is, Miss Kenneth! She arrived yesterday

and already I have to order another crate of J&B.

Goodbye.

Good morning.

I'm Eva Lalli, are you Mr. David Catania?

- Yes. - Your passports, please.

Thanks.

"West Lionel import" made a reservation for an apartment.

Here are Mr. Catania and Mr. Webster's passports.

- If you would like to go up... - Of course, Eva.

This is Milan, not Stockholm.

- Ice? - I don't drink alcohol.

- Aren't you having a drink? - I had one at the bar.

Here's to our good health!

He's teetotal.

Mr. Catania, I'm going. Tell me when you want me to comeback.

Stop this Mr. Catania business,

my name's David.

- And he's Frank. - Alright.

There's a Pontiac with a Milan number plate in the garage for you.

If you need anything whatsoever, I know half of Milan.

Are you leaving?

I don't have to leave, I'm on call 24 hours for you.

I can wait at the reception for you, I just need to change.

I'm getting changed too.

I'll wait downstairs so I don't have to see you change your underwear.

What were we saying?

If you know half of Milan,

do you by chance know Luca Canali?

I've never heard of him, he must belong to the other half.

He can't be very powerful.

No, he's not. He's a pimp... how do you call them in French?

- Macré. - Yes, macré.

I'd like to see him again.

- Where can we find him? - I wouldn't know.

Maybe at the "Four Stars",

those sort of men always go there, it's full of gorgeous girls.

Hot chicks?

Yes.

Perfect!

See you later, Mr. Catania... I mean David.

Fran k.

Bye.

Do you think I could get hold of Eva?

Listen to me, David,

don't go chasing the first girl you see.

We're here for Don Vito Tressoldi.

Don Vito Tressoldi is waiting for us,

I mustn't go chasing the first girl I see and we're here for work.

But there's life in Milan and wherever I am, I live it up.

Rita!

Hi, dad!

- I'm here, dad! - My little girl!

How are you?

Didn't mommy tell you I'm better now?

Yes, she told me.

What have you brought me?

Something really beautiful.

Let me see!

- You look at it, though. - Yes, dad.

Hi.

Today is Thursday.

It's visit day, isn't it?

Yes, she has a check-up with the doctor,

but she's much better. She exercises.

I won it at a fun fair,

last night.

And I thought she would have liked it.

It's really great, thanks dad.

Take it, it's for the girl's treatment.

Thanks.

I'll use it for the doctor.

Thanks for accepting it.

- Have you started smoking again? - Occasionally.

Lucia, why don't you let me help you always?

Don't say it again.

I'll keep saying it.

You have to forget about us, Luca.

Rita's growing up, she mustn't know what you do.

Dad, look, he walks by himself! Play with me.

I love you so much, my little girl!

Dog, where's your muzzle?

In New York they tell me you're okay.

They say you have to tell me why you've come here.

You're here now.

I'm not usually curious, but today I am.

What can you do in Milan

that I can't do?

We want Luca Canali.

I think he has the women at Parco Lambro.

One of the guys will know him for sure.

We'll wrap him up and send him to you.

We want Canali alive.

You want him alive?

Who said anything about wasting a bullet on a pimp?

Corso was right in not calling me

and telling me the reason.

It'll be no problem.

Go and have some fun,

and tomorrow we'll give you...

Mr. Canali, alive.

Next time I'll bring you a bone.

Fuck off!

This is the first time Corso sends men from New York

and with the excuse...

of the Parco Lambro pimp!

Corso's not stupid, maybe he knows.

Damiano, it stinks!

I've got an idea.

If Luca Canali comes,

tell him that two American guys are waiting for him at that table.

- Alright. - You know if he'll come tonight?

I think so.

- Don't forget! - Thanks, there's no need.

Carlo!

Who was that handsome foreigner?

Did you call me?

Does a certain Luca Canali come here?

Yes, but not always.

- Do you know him? - Yes.

What's he like?

He has beautiful black hair, like Samson!

- Waiter! - Yes.

Who's this dickhead that called me?

Invite her over here.

- Which one? - The one with the blue wig.
