You've got 20 minutes.

When is my Cesare coming?

I'm here.

No.

I mean "my" Cesare.

Hi, love.

Hi.

And welcome.

We can't touch each other.

Maybe it's better that way. You know that once I start...

then I can't stop.

I heard that when they were chasing you, you slowed down.

I was tired.

So while they were arresting you the others could run away.

The others are young, they've got better legs.

So you are a hero.

Please...

How long do you think it will be?

A year and a half. Maybe two.

That long?

They offered me a deal.

I could be out in a month.

What kind of deal?

The whole lot: Antonio, the French, all of them.

- Fausto as well? - All of them.

No.

I'm an amazing woman, but in eight months I'll be gone.

FROZEN VALLEY

Micol, you know that.

Micol!

Micol!

Come here!

Thirty.

Forty.

- Here, I've got 32. - I said 40.

It's only worth 30. It's small.

Put it back.

- What are you going to do with it? - Idiot.

Aurora!

Aurora!

Frenchman?

You brought it.

It's beautiful. Well done, Cesare.

It's beautiful.

- What about Joseph? - I need to repair its arm.

Please, make sure that when the bishop comes...

It will be ready by then.

Come here. Come!

- What kind of deal? - The whole lot.

- Fausto as well? - All of them.

No.

- You can't do that. - Stop protecting him.

Cut some bread.

Enough.

Don't you eat?

One glass is for sissies, two for priests, three for men.

Your father's not in?

I'm here.

- There you are. - Come over!

- Are you there? - Come in.

Today we woke up with quite a misfortune.

Did we?

Last night the Frenchman found the guy from Caldane in Cumbo Scuro.

Dead as a doornail.

He got his lot?

That sort don't die in their bed.

Two shots and they're gone.

So?

I'm asking you.

You were the one locked up instead of him.

There's always time.

They won't let us deal with this.

They're going to send someone up.

Be careful what you say.

They might ask you a couple of questions too.

I'm going out.

It stinks in here.

Cesare.

Let's have breakfast at Angelo's.

Come on.

We've got to eat something anyway.

Then I'll drive you home.

All right? Come.

How many times did you tell him?

But he just...

We had our fun too, didn't we?

And we're still here.

Different times.

Did they ask you any questions?

You shouldn't exert yourself. Couldn't you wait?

My condolences.

Thank you.

I'm taking the flagstone to the Dovettas.

If they call from the site, tell them to come after 11.

Thank you.

She looks like a little sparrow...

but... she's tough.

Can you do the deliveries with me? So we can chat.

No, I'm going back home. Micol's locked inside.

Stop it, or you'll get swollen balls.

Shall we go?

And you, Osvaldo, aren't you coming?

I've got the cows to look after.

Lucky you. You already got a job!

Come on. I need to show you something.

Is it far from here?

Half an hour.

Are you coming or not?

One of the cows is sick.

She can't stand up.

She needs magnesium.

By the time you get there maybe, she'll be fine.

He's in his room.

Cesare.

Parin Giors.

What about Adele?

How's Adele doing?

Adele is dead.

It was six years ago.

She was a beauty.

All that blond hair.

Such a wee thing.

She looked just like a bee.

Did they tell you about Fausto?

Please, forgive me.

I couldn't manage it.

Poor Cesare.

You're all alone now.

That wasn't a life for us anymore.

Micol!

Go.

Go by yourself. Go.

Hello?

Hi, Cesare.

It was a terrible thing to happen!

It can't have been you.

You loved him, didn't you?

You're not saying anything?

Still the same old stone eater.

Listen to me... carefully.

Something's gone missing.

Maybe you can help me find it.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Come in.

I've been crying all day.

When did you see him last?

Two weeks ago, I guess.

And...?

When did you become a cop?

He didn't talk about his life.

He'd just drop by for a chat.

- He'd bring a bottle. - I know what he'd bring you.

Did he look scared?

Of whom?

A father?

Or a son?

He couldn't care less.

What about his friends?

Why would they do it?

He helped them make tons of money.

Maybe something stuck to his hands.

How long has it been since you talked to him?

What do you care now anyway?

No.

Last time he came, he said he wanted to go away.

Go where?

No idea.

He said he'd got some sort of insurance.

He felt protected.

Maybe he was kidding me.

Can you forgive him now?

What else can I do?

Monsieur?

Monsieur!

Tomorrow I have to go down to HQ.

They know I wouldn't send out patrols on delivery nights.

And I'd lift roadblocks below.

If they find the payments, I'll get charged.

In my days you were happy with a new watch and a bit of boar meat.

You weren't Fausto.

With all that stuff around, I want a slice of the cake.

Good for you.

Now get yourself a digestif.

Watch it, I know things too.

I told you granite was better.

Grès is pretty, but it needs maintenance.

You never listen.

And these flowers?

Was it you?

It was Ania.

I told her a few things and she got fond of her.

Why do they call him "Frenchman", the guy from Confine?

Just to pull his leg.

When he was a child, his father took him to France

and from then on, things went from bad to worse for him.

How does he know the guy from Caldane?

He was his "godfather".

He taught him the trade, but the godson was

a worse thief than him and screwed him.

That one is still wet.

Here. Mark it up.

We'll leave it for another day.

Is it true that he got the scar in the Legion?

Bollocks, of course not.

Go lie somewhere else! "Legion", my...

The cops caught him at the border one night

and gave him what he deserved.

That will teach him not to lie!

But if he taught the Caldane guy, how come...

If a dog could talk, it would eat at table.

Move on. If we miss the market we'll eat cheese for a year.

When you found him... was he in this position?

You didn't touch him?

Not even to check whether he was dead?

It wasn't necessary. He was lying face down.

When you called the police, you said:

"They've killed Fausto in Balme".

The report you signed that night says

that you didn't notice the bullet holes

until you went back there with the inspector and the doctor.

Didn't you think he could've fallen?

Or jumped?

Excuse me, Chief. Everybody hated him in the village.

When was the last time you saw Fausto Berardi?

They hadn't met for ages.

Let him answer that.

Well, when was it?

Last Thursday.

Did you arrange the meeting?

I met him by chance at the bar.

What did you talk about?

After all, you were friends.

In the past, yes.

You can't smoke here.

You know that.

What the hell are you doing?

Inspector,

they need you on a technical matter.

As you wish, madam.

Can I have one?

Any idea who could've done it?

He was playing a dangerous game.

But you taught him, didn't you?

I would have loved to teach him something.

I don't think I succeeded.

Aren't you scared?

A bit, since I've been talking to you.

For me a loaf of rye bread.

On credit, Toni?

Yes, please. I'll pay you on Thursday after the market.

Bye now.

Have you got stale bread for Osvaldo's rabbits?

- How much do you need? - Four kilos.

Here.

It came in a month ago, but you didn't show up.

Why don't you write to her?

Don't move.

Don't move.

Turn round.

Turn round, or I'll kill you.

There are some people in a barn up in Balme.

The guy from Caldane brought them there.

Here is your coat.

I tried to clean it.

Put some talcum powder on it when you get home.

There's a child, too.

Usually the police takes care of these things.

Go and tell them.

If it's true, they'll feed them.

Then what?

They'll send them back home.

You've been stabbed once. Isn't that enough?

What happened?

I hit a branch.

That's a hell of a branch. Still no lights on your bike?

Come and look at the pictures.

How's your cow?

What's this?

- Give it back. - Hell no, I won't give it back.

You know that all mail is read together.

Let's see who wrote to you.

There's no sender.

Then it must be pretty hot stuff.

Please, give it back.

You're a genius!

Here we are masturbating to Donatella's pics

and he's got some expert lady.

Guys...

Sea woman. Sea women count double.

What the hell are you doing?

Are you going to burn my house? My motorbike?

Your mom is a prostitute and an alcoholic.

They keep you because they feel sorry for you.

Sit down.

Where's the other half?

If you want to play smart, better play smarter.

Put it on. Damn it!

Put it on.

Now I recognize you.

May I?

- Another glass. - No, thanks. I'm on duty.

We found Berardi's van.

The seats are slashed, the doors have been removed.

The same at his place.

Someone was looking for something or wanted us to think so.

We know there was ill feeling between you and Berardi.

What if it wasn't me?

Then you could be next.

We found it in Berardi's van.

He must have been fond of you.

Was she your wife?

She was beautiful.

When she died she weighed 35 kilos.

So they told me.

You should change your shirt.

That stain on your cuff looks like blood.

- What the hell are you doing? - The route...

- What's the route they should take? - Go away, you idiot!

Go away!

Do you see all that snow up there?

Where are they?

From Maddalene there's a path for Balme...

He has put them in the Russian barns.

In the snow it's three hours to the top and five down to France.

With boots and snowshoes. You think they've got any?

Which way do they have to go?

See that house? An old lady lives there.

She's bed-ridden. Her son is useless.

If you want to do good deeds, go cook for her and wipe her butt!

Another guy thought he was smarter.

We've just buried him.

Sergio, move on!

Turn it round, damn it! Turn it!

When's it due?

Tonight or tomorrow, but it's not turning.

Shall I call the vet?

Are you kidding?

I pulled you out of your mother on a kitchen table.

I'm not calling a doctor for a cow.

Cut it.

Get out of the way!

For Christ's sake!

- See this chair? - Yes.

I'll smash it on your back. Understood?

Call Antonio.

Cut it. Just get Antonio.

Tell him it's the Frenchman.

You shouldn't have done that.

You know damn well.

Switch off the light, please.

He was hanging around Berardi's place.

The tracks we found in Balme are from his motorbike.

He's got a father. Why did you call me?

He asked for you.

You're the Frenchman, aren't you?

Did you only know Mr Berardi by sight?

So, why did you go into his house?

I didn't go in.

Let's say you didn't.

Why were you hanging around there?

People do it, they go and look at murdered people's houses.

People do it.

You asked us to call him.

What do you want to say to him?

You told me I'd be free to go with an adult.

I didn't want to call my father. So I thought of him.

Was it him who sent you to that house?

No.

What do you think?

If it's true, it's a bad habit.

What do you mean?

Visiting the homes of murdered people.

Inspector?

Take the boy's fingerprints. Then he's free to go.

What about these?

How can you run away from home without your women's clothes?

Did you think the route would be written on the wall?

- Or, were you looking for money? - I didn't go in.

If you didn't mean to get in, you're even more stupid.

Do you want to go to France?

I'll give you the money, but forget about this.

Why?

We can't do it. It's too dangerous.

- Why not? - The police is after you.

I'm the one asking you why.

Get drunk, get a girl.

Why insist on doing what you can't do?

Why this of all things?

Because nobody else will do it.

Somebody has to do it.

Why did you go to Balme?

I was looking for a cow.

She got lost. And then I saw him.

- On Sunday? - Yes.

Was he alone?

He was with a woman.

It keeps you warm.

So, you were following me.

I wasn't.

Why did you stop being a smuggler?

It was becoming a different job.

One I didn't want.

Why don't you answer your phone?

Ettore's in the factory.

Did he know about it?

It was over by then.

Last Sunday it wasn't.

I'd already decided.

But Fausto wanted to talk one last time.

To talk about what?

He wanted us to run away.

He said he had the money.

But I left.

I heard the news the next morning.

Did anybody see you?

Why there?

He said you used to go there with Adele,

to hide from her father.

He said you'd given him the keys when he was a boy,

so he could go there once he found love.

Ettore and I have struggled.

If he finds out, we'll lose everything.

Did you bring me something?

Cesare...

How long have we known each other?

You had him killed?

Who? Fausto?

If I say I didn't, you won't believe me.

If I say I did, what will you do about it?

Wanting to know is stupid.

Especially when it's doubt that keeps us alive.

There was no need to slaughter my dog.

No memory...

No hatred, no principles...

That's the world of the future.

I wanted to make sure you understood it.

Fausto left a job unfinished.

Send someone to finish it.

Why don't you finish it?

You used to be a good smuggler.

Or maybe that boy.

You're teaching him the trade, aren't you, stone-eater?

Of course, it could all go wrong.

They could even find the bodies of those poor souls.

Or the boy's.

You've got two days to bring my stuff:

Powder, paper and stone.

Here, same time.

And then, after the dog...

we'll have to sort out the master too.

Clinic Santa Caterina

It was Ettore that wanted it.

He couldn't have kids.

When Fausto found out I was pregnant,

he said he didn't care about the money he got from him.

He said that the baby was his, and everybody should know it.

He wanted me to leave Ettore and run away with him.

And what about you?

I wanted a baby.

And Ettore wanted it too.

I need to talk to you.

The boy has nothing to do with it.

Stop following him.

I just need two days.

You decided to help him.

In two days you can do what you have to.

I'm not good at making deals.

Is this worth the two days?

Fausto had been very careful.

To no avail.

What makes you think I'll keep the promise?

You look a lot like someone who used to keep them.

Aren't these bad enough for you?

Hello?

Yes. Tell me.

Last night I went to Fausto's.

But the police had been there already, hadn't they?

I knew where to look.

He had two packages hidden, maybe 4 or 5 kilos.

And a pile of money.

They killed him for that?

I don't know.

Maybe he was about to make a delivery.

Did you take them?

There was something... strange.

What?

There were some clinical tests.

Hospital stuff.

It's late. I've got to go.

What about Ania?

She's not feeling well.

Why did you change your mind?

Shut up, that's none of your business.

What matters is I'm not doing it for you or for them.

Is that clear?

Tomorrow night, go to the old cemetery in Balme.

Don't take the normal road, take the mule track.

And stop drinking.

Come on.

Forget about the boy.

Why do you want to cross?

What's in it for you?

We've smuggled enough of them, haven't we?

We could've done the same thing for a different reason.

What reason?

To help people?

To go to heaven?

Because nobody else would do it.

Forget it, Cesare.

We had always got them across.

Nobody ever died.

We didn't get Fausto across.

Anything you want to tell me?

Come on.

Dig.

Dig.

Get the blankets.

Aren't we taking these?

If they fall, do you want to go down with them?

Where are they from?

They don't care themselves any more.

Will I have a scar?

Do you want one?

Don't use our names and don't touch their stuff.

If they ask, I'll do the talking.

Do any of them speak French?

Sit down. Sit down.

All sit down.

Keep quiet.

Easy.

How old is he?

One.

Don't light the fire.

Check if their shoes are good for the snow.

This is for the baby.

When are we leaving, sir?

When you started, a week before crossing

you'd keep a stone in your mouth as big as your thumb.

You'd remove it a week after crossing.

Your godfather would check if you still had it.

Then you'd be a smuggler.

Let's go! Come on!

Don't sit down. Don't sit down!

- How far to go? - Don't think about it.

It's not me, it's the old man. He's exhausted.

Give them some water. We're off straight away.

We've got to go there. Do you understand?

Go ahead with the others. I'm staying.

I never leave anyone behind.

Down! Get down!

My baby will be born in a few days.

It's not your baby, it's Fausto's.

He wanted to be a father, the bastard.

What could I do?

Let me live.

I want to meet my son.

I want to meet my baby.

Get down.

Wait here.

You are four hours late.

No messing around in my van. Understood?

Come on!

Hurry up.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Don't move and don't say a word until we get there.

There's water inside.

Do you know where your mother is?

Go to Marseille and ask around. She's not far from there.

Take it, it'll tide you over.

Just take it.

Who was shooting?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Go, now.
