[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hello ?

This is Parisi, commissioner. There has been found a dead body in Travení.

- Why do they call us ? - It's murder.

- CSI has already set out. - Coming.

[WHEEZING]

Hey.

- Your father ? - He is not back yet.

- Grandma is angry because she says they they are not looking for him. - I brought this.

Eat it, no one can see you here.

I'm keeping mine. I'll put it next to the milk tonight.

I want to see If the ghost eats it.

There is no such thing as a ghost, stop it !

Who drinks at night the milk I leave in front of the door ?

- Animals. - They do not leave footprints in the snow.

Ghosts don't drink and do not eat, they are dead !

- They don't need anything. - It's a living ghost.

If it's a ghost, it's necessarily dead.

- Hello. - Hello. - But how many degrees are there ?

I was commenting on the cold.

Yesterday when I left, back home the sun was splitting stones and here it wasn't.

Inspector Massimo Marini. I take up my duties today at the Mobile.

- Is he from the South ? - Sicilian. - I am from Calabria.

- Say. - Where should I go ?

- What section of Mobile ? - Homicide.

He is with Commissioner Battaglia, here, but they all went out.

- I'm in Travení for a murder. - Ah.

Is this place close ?

- It depends on what you mean by neighbor. - Well...

I have been waiting for you. Hans Knauss.

I am the mayor and a former colleague. I headed the police station...

- Did you know the victim ? - Yes, Roberto Valent.

The engineer who designed the new ski facility.

- Yesterday his wife reported his disappearance. - Who found him ?

- One of the men in the research team. - Where is the team ?

I sent her away, but I told them to to keep it as confidential as possible.

The body is up there. If you want to...

- Senior Inspector Parisi. You are... - Parisi, come on !

She is Commissioner Teresa Battaglia.

It's like this. Here I am !

The strange thing is that around here Is full of deer traps.

- Do you understand any of this, Nistri ? - No.

But I pretend, so it sets the tone.

- Here's the medical examiner. - Tell Full Metal Jacket to send him away.

- I only trust Parri. - He is not on duty today.

Will see the body tomorrow in Udine, in Forensic Medicine.

He knows I don't like to push, though....

-I'm the one who doesn't like you to insist. -But the death must be ascertained.

You can see it from there. There is no doubt that the poor man is dead.

- More hands and more feet here I don't want them there. - All right, I'm going.

He suffered a violent attack to the face.

He has grasping bruises on his wrists, but the rest of his body is unharmed.

The epidermis of the neck is streaked by the deep blue of blood vessels.

The victim shaved carefully, before he died.

The beard is due to the retraction of the epidermis, post mortem.

He did no manual labor, his hands are smooth and his nails manicured.

There is no dirt.

The killer ripped out his his eyes.

[CLACSON]

Wait, I'll try to pull over.

[CLACSON]

I can't, I have no space.

[CLACSON]. And it plays.

[CLACSON] But where do I go ?

[CLACSON]

[CLACSON]

[CELL PHONE RINGS]. Wait.

[CLACSON] Hold on !

[BUMPING NOISE]

- I don't know what to say to her. - What does she have to tell me ?

- I am not the subordinate of the commissioner. - Hold on, mayor.

Here it is.

- Thank you, Parisi. - You're welcome.

Come with me.

- Tell me, commissioner. - Did the engineer have a car ?

Yes, a crossover, we didn't find it.

- Is anyone looking for her ? - No, once the body is found...

He suspended the search. Good move.

The men were overwrought And that's all I asked.

How much and what forces did you employ in your research ?

I organized something "inter nos." with the guys from the Municipal

a couple of aldermen and a few friends.

I didn't want to raise a fuss. The country is full of tourists.

Did you call any of your other people ?

No. I don't know anyone stupid enough to come up here in that car.

I'm going to break the news to the family.

-You avoid details, with everyone. -Everybody knows they have to keep quiet.

We should agree on a version of the facts.

If the news circulates, they all run away and skip the season.

The following should not be circulated distorted, sketchy information

Or worse, useful to the killer.

She will not speak, I will do it in her place when the time comes.

- Thank you. - I'll leave it here for you. - Yes.

- Excuse me, the commissioner ? - Up there.

-How did you bring it here ? -There are no drag marks.

He loaded it on his shoulder. Now the problem is where they killed him.

Commissioner, Inspector Marini. [CELL PHONE RINGS].

- Giulio Nistri, director CSU. - Hello ?

Commissioner, Dr. Ambrosini wants to talk to you.

Give me a second.

Welcome among us, Inspector Marini.

The victim's eyes are missing, you could look for them right away.

The footprints go that way.

Going.

- Over there. Over there. - Yes. - Do you see them ?

Yes.

- Come on, run ! - Watch out for the mud !

- We are late for the play. - We can make it.

Here is the club of losers !

Always late you four.

Don't look at him. Let's go.

That's it, just like that. That's right, hold it like that.

Finally ! Come, come, come.

Come on, hurry up !

Go, you put here and you put here.

Okay. Come, or you won't be seen.

Make some space. Go.

Very good, good.

- You're welcome. - You had me at a loss.

Who is the fool who could have done such a thing ?

If the clothes are the victim's, the killer I would say.

It was a pleonastic question.

Down there is a car and a dead deer.

You should wear the jacket.

That's okay. In fact, thank you.

Figure. It's not mine, it was on the service car.

They had used it to cover the corpse of a homeless man.

- Are you kidding ? - Of course I'm kidding.

I warn the commissioner, however, first I would like to give you some advice.

To get along with her, avoid pleonastic questions, comments.

At least at the scene of the crime. If you keep quiet there, it's better.

When you hear the music, you all go up together. Is that okay ?

Beware of burning candles And don't get hung up.

When they all came out, you start the music.

All right ? Agreed ?

- Are we ready ? - Just a moment! Madam teacher... - Excuse me.

Don't worry, he can't do anything to you here.

They found my father.

Sorry. Rehearsals are suspended for today.

[BRUSI'O]

Sorry.

Diego, honey, I have to tell you some bad news.

The teacher hugged me like this even when my grandfather had died.

Diego's father died.

Let's call a veterinarian for the autopsy.

I'll call him right away.

Hello ? Nistri speaking.

I imagine a strong man, with extraordinary balance

Who climbs with his victim On his shoulders, like a sack.

Once he gets up there, rips his eyes out, strips him

and with the clothes he builds a puppet.

Then he deposits it where he is certain that sooner or later someone will find it.

Have you guessed something or did you just spell it out ?

- Commissioner. - Yes ? - May I bring you up to date ?

Yes, so we give him time to prepare his answer.

The area is owned by a family who moved to Piacenza years ago.

City Hall has no idea why Valent has gone this far.

The area is outside the part designated for the ski facility.

Man does not live by work alone.

Maybe he came here To meet a lover.

Original hypothesis, useful for investigation.

Listen, Parisi...

Get all the names of those who worked at the site.

Then he returns to Udine. Meanwhile, I'll get the printouts of Valent

So you work on those as well. - All right. - Shall we go ?

Where ?

From the victim's family. Hurry.

Come here.

With time it will get better. Watch that she doesn't slip, go.

- If he continues to treat me like this, I won't do anything to stop it. - Go.

However, it is much easier than for me to fall.

[INDISTINCT VOICES]

- Mathias, let's take the elevator. - Can I go back with Lucia and Oliver ?

Please, I'll get home before Dad anyway.

All right, come on.

Thank you.

I forgot my gloves in the homeroom.

- We'll take you to get them back. - Okay.

Hey !

Am I wrong or are these yours ?

Hasn't he given you enough your father this week ?

Ah ! Do you want to know how your friend's your friend's daddy ?

They took him into the woods And then they tore out his eyes.

Let's go.

[STARNUTO] Sorry.

- Put those soggy socks in front to the fan. - But no. - But yes.

How were you planning to face the mountain dressed like this ?

But what did I know ? From the police headquarters I came directly to Travení.

If I had changed, I would have been late.

So in your wardrobe is there everything you need ?

I don't have a wardrobe. I have a couple of suitcases and a few boxes.

I didn't want to be like Totò and Peppino in Milan, even though we are in Udine.

Tonight, while unloading the car, I was freezing.

I found a rented hole where it's freezing, however, I will find better.

[BRAKING NOISE]

Can you tell me what you noticed at the crime scene ?

Did he nail it down to question me ?

One thing I can't stand is.

That a question of mine be answered With another question. So ?

(clearing his voice) Um... The deer was not run over.

It was in front of the car, but there were no traces of blood.

Therefore, I called the veterinarian.

- Why do you enjoy humiliating me ? - You did it all by yourself.

You did not consider that your boss was a woman

That the mountain doesn't give a damn about your moccasins

and your little coat from the mall

And that a lady has to stop because she has personal needs.

- Hello, Commissioner Battaglia. Inspector Marini. - Hello.

- Please be seated. - Thank you.

> Roberto went out yesterday morning, earlier than usual.

I asked why and he told me that he needed to do an inspection.

This was quite normal. He did not like to talk about work with me.

- How come ? - Is it because of the project on the new ski facility

That our marriage fell apart.

We would never have come back to live here otherwise.

- In this hole of a country. - Roberto was born here.

Yes, now we can say That he also died to us.

What time did you sound the alarm ?

Roberto loved to have lunch all together.

By 3 p.m. he had not returned And I became alarmed.

So I insisted that he call him.

He didn't do it right away, but at least he did.

I called him, but the phone rang off the hook.

I immediately called the construction site. No one had seen it.

At 5 p.m. we reported her missing.

Do you know if he had had any confrontations or received threats recently ?

Yes, continuously, by by a group of environmentalists.

They were mad at him about the new ski facility.

It is absurd that he was killed By any of them.

Sorry.

Roberto's death had nothing to do with it. She never liked me.

Have the threats suffered by your husband have been reported ?

Yes, I suppose so. I don't know, I wasn't informed about that either.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Mom, shall I get that ? - No, honey, give it to me.

- Hello. - Hello? - Are you ?

- Diego. - I am Commissioner Battaglia, but call me Teresa.

- Instead he is Inspector Marini. - Hi. - You can call him Massimo.

Thank you.

- Here. - No, commissioner, please.

Diego does not eat sweets. His father was adamant on this point.

- How old are you ? - He is ten, but he is very shy.

[PHONE RINGS]

The news spread quickly.

Answer.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Hello ?

- Yes. - Come here.

How handsome you are, Diego.

Listen, you will have to be very strong now.

- It will not be easy, but you will succeed. - Thank you.

Will you walk us to the door ?

Hi, honey.

Stop here.

I have arrived, here is the trattoria Where I always eat.

- I'll eat, too. - Have a good dinner. I'll see you tomorrow at the police headquarters.

Ah, I forgot, I want the briefing by tomorrow morning.

Bitch.

[NOTIFICATION FROM CELL PHONE]

(recording) "Maximus, you can't do that, it doesn't make sense."

"Please call me."

Commissioner, have a seat. Dr. Ambrosini has arrived.

- How is it doing ? Is it moving ? - And how, it kicks certain things.

- Shall I do it or bring the menu ? - No, you do it.

If we wait for Ambrosini to decide, we make the dawn.

I accompany her.

There you are at last. Hi, how are you ?

Fine, but let's not talk about work.

- Sooner or later we have to talk about it. - Yes, but tomorrow morning at your office.

I feel that this new corpse is the beginning of a very bad story.

Excuse me, but I need to sleep on it.

[DANTE SNORES]

[CRUNCHING OF BRANCHES].

[BABY CRYING] Make it stop !

You are good for nothing, Victory ! You're stupid! Keep your voice down !

If you don't make him stop, you know how it ends !

Please calm down! Go back to the room !

Calm down ! Put Markus to sleep and go back to the room !

Idiot !

If I see that stupid bowl again, I'll take you and leave you in the forest !

So you stand with your ghost friend ! Idiot !

Mom, I'm here.

Do you understand ?

Sorry, mom.

I'm going to sleep; I'm beat.

This is the disclosure.

I hope it's okay.

I did the sunrise there.

Smile.

No. So.

Well, let's say. Here...

disclosure.

Period.

No...

So.

Disclosure.

[NOTIFICATION FROM PC]

Good morning.

- What are you doing in my office ? - Waiting for you.

- Next time wait for me in yours. - These are for you.

Shit.

Commissioner, no, no !

I haven't eaten them for ages, they are so good.

It was better if he continued not to.

I'm diabetic, it's like you're trying to kill me.

- No. - Eh. - I couldn't have known, I'm sorry.

I read your information. I flushed it down the toilet.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- I didn't sleep to write it. - You had better sleep.

- I thought I had done a good work... - We'll talk about that later.

The Executive and the Pm are waiting for us.

(chewing) Let's go.

Let's go.

(sotto voce) Don't do that again.

The new ski facility

that Valent had designed and whose work he was directing

has violated a part of the mountain pristine until recently.

He was in the crosshairs of environmentalists.

Perhaps they were inspired by something. A crime from the past, a movie.

I know you no longer want to deal with crazy psychopaths...

- I don't like to call them that. - What do you see in this totem ?

Parisi, can you send me back the image of the puppet ?

I don't know what exactly I see

But I would feel like saying that it is of a childish construction.

It is not absurd That he took his eyes away

And left on the totem pole any two berries ?

Perhaps they are not just any two berries.

I don't know what he did with the eyes, we didn't find them.

How did he die ? Uninformed, we are in the dark.

It will come as soon as possible.

- As for death, I need to talk to Parri. - All right.

This man was as healthy as a horse. He didn't smoke, he didn't drink.

He did not have sexual intercourse prior to death.

- How long was it between death and discovery ? - 24 to 30 hours.

- Did he stay in the snow all those hours ? - I would say so.

The wounds to the face are deep.

They make one think of a mechanical action, violent and brutal.

How did he die ?

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Excuse me.

I still don't know how he died, Teresa. I will know after the autopsy.

What I can tell you, however with certainty

given the profuse bleeding

Is that when they gouged out his his eyes with their bare hands

was still alive.

Go slowly down the stairs. Come.

He who comes last is a ghost !

Ouch !

Aren't you running anymore, you little shit ?

Please, my daddy is coming today....

Your daddy is a poor loser, like your friends.

- But Oliver? - Oliver !

- It is not true ! - Yes it is true.

Your mom is gone, Because he's a good-for-nothing.

- It's not true ! - Don't raise your voice against me.

- Don't do it anymore, you have to be good to me. > Oliver ! - Ssh !

Oliver, where are you? Oliver?

My friends are looking for me, please !

Let him go right away !

We were just playing a little game. Tell him.

Can you see that I cried ?

No, you have to tell your daddy, though.

I don't want him to get into trouble for me.

- Tell him you cried for Diego. - Are we going to him today ?

I don't know. How do you do in these cases ?

When my grandfather died you came.

He was nice, Diego's dad couldn't stand us.

- But what does he know now ? He's dead. - Even mother can't stand us.

-Small gang, what are you confabulating about? -We don't know whether to go to Diego's.

It's a little early today, maybe tomorrow.

Come on, I'll get your backpack.

- Hi, guys. - Hi. - Hi.

- Did you put the bowl also tonight ? - Yes, he came back.

I don't want to talk about it, I'm tired of being made fun of.

- I believe you, I saw it too. - Where ?

- Yesterday, at the Orrido. He followed me. - Did he ?

Was it he who hurt Diego's daddy ?

He didn't do anything to me, But maybe he saw something.

- How do we find out ? - We find him and ask him.

But this must be a secret just ours, at least for now.

Two, three, four, five, six

seven, eight, nine, ten...

Commissioner ! How many are we at this morning ?

Screw you. They're low in sugar. Already you've thrown away my doughnuts.

- Who is ? - The former site manager of Valent, Gaetano Brughi.

However.

This is not his true identity.

He was transferred from Calabria, Calif, nine years ago, from the Antimafia.

- Collaborator of justice ? - Witness under protection.

Son goes to class with little Valent.

His wife left him after the transfer.

Why "former site manager" ?

He quit his job four days ago. There were tensions with the engineer.

- In my opinion, we need to summon him. - No.

I don't want to put him in the spotlight.

- Better a more discreet investigation. - All right.

- The rookie? Where is he? - He went downstairs for coffee.

Phone calls that disturbed him ?

- In what sense ? - Like ringing repeated, look at the display

contraction of the jaw

Hesitation, rejection of the call, nervous upset.

Yes, three.

He came down for coffee right after the last one.

"Nervous upset." That's not bad, commissioner.

What does the fact that he killed with his bare hands, without ligatures ?

This is my break.

Your pause does not exist If it doesn't coincide with mine. So ?

The crime was not premeditated.

It was not organized. It is different.

Although many details make us think otherwise.

They are unexplained singularities, contradictions...

- Something does not add up. - For example ?

Staging. The way in which he arranged the body.

He did not abandon it, but prepared it. The traps...

You tell me. Is this killer Is he organized or disorganized ?

- I don't know. - You have to study, inspector.

Things that are not taught at the university.

You have to study the art of killing.

If you say so. I wonder whether I was right to come here.

And if I feel like staying there.

What I have in mind for you Will clear your mind.

Go to the gym, instead of working out here.

Excuse me, I've been sitting for hours.

Whatever, never mind.

- Do I have to sign in there ? - Yes.

If you need a file in particular, I can help you.

Looking for crimes, possibly terrible ones.

The worst ever committed in these parts.

You take that one.

Come with me.

Thank you.

[CRUNCHING OF BRANCHES].

[SNAPSHOT]

(In a little while Mathias is coming to pick me up... How exciting !)

You'll ruin your eyes like that.

Your disclosure.

- Hadn't you thrown it away ? - You didn't do a good job.

I don't want free compliments.

Then what did you come up here for ?

I thought of a love gone, But your need for approval

makes me think more of a cumbersome parent.

Your father ?

It is not serious, and besides, you are not the only one.

- Put it back and go to sleep. - You don't ask what I found ?

Nothing, I suppose, otherwise you would have told me.

If there was such a case, I would remember it.

However, let's get a move on.

Because either we stop him now or the killer will strike again.

[SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS FROM OUTSIDE]
