When he tries to retrieve his camera equipment, with which he hopes to begin a new career, he learns that Teresa sold it to pay for his lawyer.

Meanwhile, Tiberio's adult son Brunino has returned from Milan and immediately interrupts his father's outdated robbery attempts.

Now fully resigned to resuming his old business, Tiberio goes to visit his old friend Ferribotte, now working at a gas station, to ask him where to find Peppe il Pantera.

Tiberio attempts to find a place in Peppe's new moneymaking scheme of transferring money from Yugoslavia on behalf of Don Vincenzo or "the Banker."

After discovering the disguise, Peppe bursts into wild laughter which, due to his advanced age, induces a light heart attack and subsequent hospitalization with Augusto as his caretaker.

Back on the train, Tiberio and Ferribotte reminisce about the old days (with scenes from Big Deal on Madonna Street) and express regret at some of their past misdeeds.
