[INDISTINCT VOICES ]

[VICTORY CRIES ]

Guys.

It's from Markus.

Let's go.

Put your thumb up here. Right thumb.

Press well.

Press harder.

Try the index finger. On.

Press well.

May I ? Sorry, eh.

Give me that.

What's going on ?

- Let's warn the commissioner. - Sit here.

It is called adermatoglyphia. It is a very rare genetic defect.

There is an absence of epidermal ridges On fingertips and palms.

Since the killer leaves footprints everywhere

I would say that Ebran has nothing to do with the crimes.

I agree. Accompany him home.

If it is true that he has always been a scapegoat. scapegoat, I would avoid lynching.

Well ?

The contribution of volunteers is invaluable

But there are hundreds of hectares to be controlled.

The men you need are available.

Everything you need, Teresa, I guarantee you.

There are children who are watching us.

They are the friends of Mathias, the brother of the kidnapped child.

- Hey, what's going on ? - It's from Markus.

He was on the ground near the spot where they took him away.

Can we give it to Mathias ?

Sure, but first I have to have it analyze. Let me see if...

Will you help me ? So you only touch it.

Here it is.

- Can we see it ? - Sure. Wait for me sitting there.

- I'm going to call the child, take this to Nistri and I'm with you. - Yes.

Lucia.

[NOISE OF FOOTSTEPS ]

Aah !

- Mathias where is he ? - With his folks. - He's not here.

I am sure that you know something you don't want to tell me.

If it's about what what's going on...

- He told us he was going to the bathroom and was going back to his parents. - He ran away.

Are you sure you don't know where it is ?

Maybe he is at the ghost's house looking for Markus.

-For us it was he who took him away. -Mathias knows where the ghost lives ?

All four of us know this. We have been there.

There is an old prison With a skeleton in it.

Does Mathias have his cell phone with him ?

Here you go. Here, it's Mathias' number.

Locate it and attach it to mine. [SNAPSHOT ]

Meanwhile, Marini and I set out with the children.

- You trust me, don't you ? - Yes, I do trust you. - Let's go.

However, one thing we know and that we didn't want to tell you is

Mathias' dad beats him up.

Perhaps no one has explained to him that children are sacred.

She beats him And he also beats his mom.

Thank you for telling us.

Good.

Whatever he does, if he changes road or stops, let me know.

Sure, absolutely.

- Let's stop. - You wanted to leave them at home.

I thought they were children, not aliens.

(Cell phone) Wait. - Shit !

- What's going on ? - The child has stopped.

Either he entered an area without of field or turned off his cell phone.

This is it, this is the stavolo.

- We found the house, I'll get back to you. - Copy.

You do not move for any reason, understood ?

Mathias.

Mathias.

Here we are. How are you doing? Everything all right ?

- Markus here is not here. - Honey, it's not your fault.

Yes, they did. At the party I had to be careful.

Who told you something like that ? Your father ?

He told you nonsense.

The inspector is right.

You will see that we will find him. He will come home.

Can he return only to us ? To me and mother ?

Of course, honey. Now go with the inspector to your friends.

Come.

Did you find anything ?

There must have been two children here.

Who knows how long they were held captive.

Take the children away. Mathias must stay with his mother.

-Stop the father for mistreatment and injury. -Yes, let's go.

Where are you going ? You must stay with me and with Marini.

We are now a de facto triangle.

You were very brave.

- But now no more walking around at night. (Together) Okay.

Embrace me. I am wide enough for all four of us.

- Mom. - My love !

Hello.

Hello.

Come here, quietly.

Mr. Klavora, please follow me.

- Where ? - I carry out the orders and you come with me to Udine.

Come on. Get moving, Mr. Klavora.

Teresa! Teresa, come!

Scouring the territory we realized

That the child's grave is less than 600 meters from the stavolo.

With all the checks done we didn't realize

of how close these places ? - Don't look at me.

Between trees and snow these places are all the same.

If the killer was held captive with the other child

Maybe he knew that his friend was buried there, maybe he buried him.

To him it is like an Indian cemetery. They violated it and he can't stand it.

- So you didn't do it to protect Diego ? - Also.

But mostly because Valent desecrated his friend's grave.

- Why mutilate his victims ? - I thought Marini was right.

- To make a doll more macabre than Lucia's. - Instead ?

With what he took away from Valent, Melania and the janitor

Is trying to bring back to life his friend.

If I am right, he is the one who stole even the skeleton.

The death was 30 years ago and according to the densitometric examination

At the time of the murder the man was between 55 and 60 years old.

- Was he killed ? Are you certain ? - More than certain.

Fracture of the skull from violent impact.

- Thank you, Parri. - To you.

Our skeleton, before being a skeleton, was a jailer

And the killer his prisoner who made him pay for it.

It is more than likely.

Do you try hard to find the various DNAs as soon as possible ?

Sure, but I can't do it in five minutes.

Sorry, maybe the skeleton could be identify it in another way.

Some people might be able to do it From the clothes or with them.

Could Marini take away those boots ?

Sure, as long as you don't take them out out of the bag.

Where ? If it is not too much to ask.

Did you find the news Of the missing lumberjack.

It should be clear to you where to go.

I had not had a relationship for a long time with my brother.

How can I tell whether these boots are his ?

Could his brother have been an accomplice in a kidnapping ?

My brother was capable of anything.

- Lucas how is he ? - Bad, as always.

Dr. Ian gave him some tranquilizers.

- I don't know how much they will need it. - I am sorry I suspected him.

You were not the first And you will not be the last.

I hope he is wrong

And may his son find some peace.

- Hello, dad. - Hello. - Markus's mom gave it to me.

He didn't wash it on purpose. I hope it is useful.

Very good, bravo. I give it to the canine unit.

- It's the baby's onesie. - Thank you.

Search, search, search.

Search, search.

- Search. - Go.

Bravo, go ! Go !

- Go ! Go! - Come on! - Go! Go! - Bravo!

- You also go with them. - Let's hope well.

- Let's notify the commissioner. - Yes. - Excuse me.

I need to see the commissioner.

The skeleton you found Was my uncle's.

In this box are some of his things.

Where did you find it ?

At the stavolo, many years ago.

He was dead In front of the empty cages.

The hood had it on his head.

There was a camera on the floor, but I sold it back.

"Many years ago," how many? How old were you?

- Fifteen, I don't know. - Did you look at that one ?

Yes, but my tape was torn.

Give it to Nistri before you leave. Tell him to retrieve the material

to have it examined And send me everything. - Sure.

- Why did you go there ? - To see if the children were there.

Which children ?

Children you knew ?

No, I saw them only once.

I had followed my uncle to the stavolo, but he found me out.

He beat me up. He was asking me that I had seen, I said "nothing."

He kept beating me, so I never said anything.

How many children were there ?

There were two, one larger and one smaller.

Then I didn't go back there, for quite some time.

I think about it all the time, though.

Then my uncle disappeared.

Then I decided to go back to the stavolo.

The children were gone. He, on the other hand, was dead.

I found it there and there I left it.

- So ? - The dogs seemed to have gone crazy.

They were pulling the officers, it seemed the child was everywhere.

Probably so.

The man does not follow paths, he knows all the shortcuts.

-It's nimble and fast even in the snow. -It is yet another hole in the water.

What I don't understand. If there were two children

how is it possible that no one has claimed them ? - Eh.

Perhaps both of them grew up in an environment

Little interested in their fate.

I'll check something and come back.

[CELL PHONE RINGS ] Hello ?

- Hi, I need something. - What do you need ?

Please send me everything you find on Johann Albert Wallner.

Anything, publications, newspaper articles, everything.

- Okay, count me in. - You are special.

- Thank you, really. - Bye.

- It gave me a shock ! - Who is Johann Albert Wallner ?

- John ? - Johann Albert Wallner.

At the front desk they said that you were back.

He is an Austrian physician and psychiatrist.

disbarred for an experiment crime conducted 40 years ago.

A test of maternal deprivation Applied to 40 infants.

- How did you find out ? - From this volume of psychology.

See ? The author speaks mainly Of child number thirty-nine.

The only one who in the face to certain hardships did not perish.

Well, find out a few more things about this matter.

I'm going to check my insulin. Don't ask me if I'm okay.

Commissioner, Nistri returned to base.

The results of the findings On the baby carriage and sock.

-For the video, he said he will do as soon as possible. -Thank you. -You're welcome.

Will you stop worrying about me ?

I doubt I can do it, but I can keep pretending.

Parisi ! Marini !

Yes ?

Blende and galena.

Translated, zinc sulfide and lead.

It is in everything that came in contact with the killer's clothing.

- Ah. - On the sleeves of my coat.

For a few minutes also in my head.

What does that mean in your head ? I don't understand.

[CELL PHONE RINGS ] Teresa, tell me.

Nistri, listen carefully.

I remembered Of something important.

When the killer rescued me, for a moment I opened my eyes.

His hood and mask Shimmered like the Christmas tree.

The substances detected are metallic, reflecting nothing.

- You didn't find anything else ? - Wait a minute.

There are traces of calcite, it is a fluorescent substance.

However, they were covered completely by guano.

Perhaps on the hood there were more.

If calcite was on the ceiling Of the hiding place ?

The killer is tall, may have rubbed

And calcite could be on the cap. - Listen.

Calcite, like other fluorescent substances

You can hardly see it shimmering to the naked eye. You imagined it.

Think what you want. Now Find me a hiding place or a cave

having on the inside blende, galena and on the ceiling calcite.

- Whatever, I'll get back to you. - Thank you.

[CELL PHONE RINGS ]

- Here I am, Nistri. - Teresa.

Within a radius of ten kilometers there is only Osvan's cave.

- Thank you, Nistri. You are a genius. - Thank you.

Osvan's cave is ten kilometers away.

Hurry up, call everyone, even the child's mother.

- Good morning. - Here we go. - When there is deep snow, this place can't be seen

so we didn't take it consideration. - Mmm.

There are footprints here.

There it is.

- I'll go ahead. - I'll go with you. - No, security issues.

It doesn't matter. You stay here, I'll go with the commissioner.

- She is the mother. - Give her a helmet and a jacket.

- You're welcome. - Thank you.

[MARKUS CRIES ]

- It's Markus. - Stay one step away from me.

Whatever I tell you to do, do it

especially move away, if necessary.

[MARKUS CRIES ]

Maybe this is really it.

[MARKUS CRIES ]

(sotto voce) Put down the guns. Put down the guns. Put down the guns.

No, no, no. [RINGHIO ]

We don't want to hurt you.

We don't want to hurt you, eh ?

Not bad.

Huh ? [MARKUS CRIES ]

Not bad, no.

Open your jacket And approach slowly.

Go and breastfeed him.

Love, no.

She is the mother. Give it to mom.

It makes him eat.

It's mom.

Come on.

- Bravo, bravo. - My love.

- My love, my love. - Here, here.

Love.

It's mom.

Go.

Are you coming with us ?

No, no.

It will be all right.

Don't worry, come with us. Come.

[PLANTO ]

- Hi. - Hi. - I brought everything.

Fantastic !

- Everything is there. - Yes.

You are amazing.

See you later.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR ]

- Thank you. - Why ?

It freed us from a nightmare.

The first victim of this nightmare is him.

Andreas Hoffmann.

Have you identified him ?

Yes, thanks to these articles

and to documents in the archives Austrian police.

In 1978, within three years

In an orphanage in Austria, near the border

psychiatrist Wallner conducted a crazy experiment on 40 infants

by growing them in a cold and aseptic environment

and depriving them of any affection and human contact. - My God !

This is how Andreas Hoffmann grew up.

Without a mother.

Without a father. Without love.

Here it is.

Johann Albert Wallner.

He was born in Austria September 1, 1948.

He graduated from Vienna 25 years later.

We couldn't find any pictures of him anywhere.

He could not have done it all by himself, there must be witnesses.

Yes, one of the two childminders who worked with him

Was arrested and committed suicide.

The other, the one that had denounced the experiment

mysteriously disappeared a few days after she was reported.

Wallner what happened to him ?

He disappeared with Andreas when the police arrived.

Of the little one we know nothing.

I will have deserved the roses

the day when we have identified the second child as well

And I will have found out who continued the experiment here in Traveni.

We made a mistake. We tried to to trace the identity of the little

starting with the cases of children missing beginning with his death

But we need to go further back.

He, too, like Andreas, will have been taken away that he was an infant.

I have been here for more than 30 years And I have never heard anything.

I will leave you to work, keep me informed.

Thank you.

-Commissioner. -Yes. -I would go and ask in the village. -Yes.

[NOTIFICATION FROM CELL PHONE ]

(recording) "I sent you the video by e-mail."

"Some of it has been lost, what remains is not for sensitive souls."

[RETCHING ]

[LOCK CLICK ]

Aah !

- Good morning. - Good morning. - Can I give you a ride ?

-What else does he want? -Can I tell him while also making myself useful ?

It's for his brother.

The matter goes back ten years before it disappeared.

He has always been a delinquent. One year before or ten years little changes.

Well, not for investigation.

The kidnapped child may have been an infant.

The disappearance of an infant would not have made a sound ?

Yes, but I am referring to a child who is unwanted, perhaps abandoned.

The convent of Rein.

At the time, the sisters were running a small orphanage.

They do not appear to have disappeared from there.

My brother was in charge of the garden and the convent's apple orchard.

She filled her mouth with the secrets of the nuns.

- I remember a story he used to tell. - What story ?

About a young nun.

Ah, how nice to see her ! I was about to come to you.

- Have you heard from Markus ? - Yes. He is well.

They are keeping him in pediatrics in Udine, but only for checkups.

- We were lucky. - It wasn't just luck.

- It was a great insight. - I don't know.

- I need your help. - If I can, more than willingly.

This is an old story.

I need someone who has a memory of what happened.

At least age-appropriate I should be.

He remembers a child who disappeared here in or around Traveni

In the early 1980s ? - We are talking about 40 years ago.

I know, it's not easy

But such a fact must have caused a stir at the time.

It doesn't say anything to me, let's hear the old mayor at the time.

He is the one who can know this best of all.

Sorry.

It is currently unreachable.

What's going on ?

My diabetes occasionally reminds me that it exists.

I'm used to it. If...

Should he hear or find the mayor

Would do me a great favor.

Certainly. I'll accompany you.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- I am inspector Massimo Marini. I'm looking for the mother superior. - Please.

I am not certain that it is a nun.

In that case, I don't know whether she is still in this convent or still alive.

I don't even care. I beg you to help me if you can.

We would like to name the child.

[INAUDIBLE SOUNDS ]

I want to preface this by saying. that I am not here to judge you.

I want to know if what they told me is true.

Did you have that baby or not ?

Inside me I always called him Adam.

It was a sister who gave me this picture; she took it in secret.

- For me. - The father ?

He never knew anything, do not consider it.

I decided the fate of the child. It was me.

I put it in the hands of the only person

who could guarantee me the silence

And a future for my son.

I need to know that name.

- The name of the man to whom he entrusted Adam. - I can't.

What if I told you that he lied to you ?

That involved Adam in an atrocious story ?

He had a hypoglycemic crisis.

I injected her with glucagon to make her recover.

I hoped to the last to be wrong.

- Dr. Wallner. - How did he figure it out ?

The code to unlock the phone, your date of birth.

An unforgivable mistake.

- Why did he do all this ? - I was interested in demonstrating

How much really can the human mind

When it is forced to grow

In an environment completely devoid of of emotions.

All he had to do was look around.

Every day millions of children are abandoned to their fate

Without any love, no care and with nothing.

This is life. I talk about science.

What hells he went through

to be able to engineer all this ?

How upset she may have been this story of children

when she was so inept that she could not defend her ?

My self I defended it With every cell in my body !

No. Instead, his body expelled him.

She was not compatible with her. She was not ready to be a mother.

I was slaughtered with punches and kicks.

I had internal bleeding, I was dying.

Then they cut me open in two to try to save us both

But they only saved me !

All right, let's let bygones be bygones.

But what does the future hold for her ?

I am also a good observer. Your memory is failing you.

It is normal for her to decide to end it.

Don't make me make you suffer.

In a minute everything will be over. He won't feel anything.

When they find her With too much insulin in her system

everyone will be left with the doubt. "He must have done it on purpose."

"or she must have been mistaken, forgetting having already taken the injection."

"overdose like that ?"

- Freeze! - Stop!

What did you do to her ?

- Commissioner, are you all right ? - Untie me. - Sure.

Here we are, sorry. How are you?

Parisi.

- Marini, however we would have found it even with the GPS. - Let's go.

Hello, Andreas.

I brought you this.

This is the puppy and the mother.

Do you like it ?

Markus is fine.

I would like you to keep it.
