At Christmas I was with you and now I have to stay with mom. Come with me!

- Tonight we are going to the game and tomorrow We are with mom. - Can't.

I have been invited by the boys.

And tomorrow I get up early to go to the police station.

OK.

Doctor, I thought you were going to Catania with his girlfriend.

- No, I had a prior commitment. - Only New Year's Eve will pass.

So I'm going to invite him.

Paterna, Catarella will also be there and my son José...

- who is home on leave for the holidays. - Come on, doctor.

- Let's make some noise! - I would love to go...

but I have to take Maria to Catania immediately after, so I can't.

Now let's all go to work, that we already finished the year.

- Good night, doctor. - Good night.

- Here it is. - Thank you, good night.

Good night.

Happy New Year, Montalbano.

Holy Calogero!

Happy New Year everyone!

The wind pushes us to understand this confetti with force.

Friends, thank you all!

Happy new year to all and good night!

- Hello my love. - Doctor, I want it too. - Catarella!

- What do you want? I didn't talk to you. - Luckily! I was ashamed.

I made him a happy birthday, so congratulations!

All the best for you too.

Did you want to tell me something?

- They found a "transitory" dead person. - What do you mean by this?

They found him in a hotel, so he was a traveler passing through.

- At the Princess Hotel. - But that's where I am.

Who is knocking at the door?

That's enough!

Fazio! - Congratulations, Doctor. - Congratulations.

I thought I was in Catania with his girlfriend.

I returned immediately after toast... but what happened?

- Catarella called me. - Tonight, someone died in the hotel.

- They called a few minutes ago. - Where is the victim?

In room 22.

- Alright? - Yes, I'll be there.

- What happened? I am Dr. Panzeca. - First of all let's investigate.

- Good morning. - Hello. - The lady Di Renzo found the body.

We called the hotel concierge.

The door was open.

I asked him permission to enter and he He was on the ground, covered in blood.

- Was he a guest of Dr. Panzeca? - No, it's Mr. Lo Castro.

Mrs. Rosina's husband, the owner It's incredible.

Mr. Lo Castro was a friend of everyone and rarely came to Vigata.

- Was the lady informed? - Yes, it was a terrible blow for her.

- I was hysterical. - You should have called me immediately.

No, I didn't know... there was so much confusion.

And then I thought that It was a client.

- Let's take a look inside. - Excuse me.

Good morning.

must have come through from the window.

Are you thinking the same thing?

- New Year's accident. - As of habit. There's always some idiot

shooting into the air.

He came to see how impressive fireworks and...

It was like he went to war.

I don't know.

Good morning, I'm Dr. Pasquano.

Dr. You shouldn't be here. Please.

Who says? I am the medical examiner.

That's a dead man...

was murdered here and this is the duty of the forensic doctor.

Didn't you learn anything in Police School?

Please start.

Commissar, Can I be alone?

I am at your disposal.

I don't think he had enemies.

Mr. Lo Castro He almost never came to Vigata.

- Worked abroad for years. - What was your occupation?

He worked in Russia for Dr. Panzeca. He is in charge of import-export.

The whole year goes away, and comes back alone...

for ten days in summer and for Christmas celebrations.

It arrived yesterday morning.

Tell me Mr. Arnone, you said that the lady lives in an apartment...

on the top floor of the hotel.

Doesn't Mr. Lo Castro usually sleep with your wife?

I don't know, I've worked here for a few years and it has always been the same.

When Mr. Lo Castro arrived in Vigata,

always had of a room to himself.

And the luggage? There were none in the room.

I forgot to mention.

Yesterday it was posted in room 22.

But then another of the guests couldn't come.

Since room 28 was freed, The owner took advantage.

- Milena. Did Mr. Lo Castro ask you to Will you move your luggage from 22? - Yeah.

He said he wanted to change rooms and I took his things to 28.

I preferred that room because it was quieter.

- So, that's why we didn't find anything in 22? - I don't know, doctor.

- Dr. Pasquano, I want to apologize... - Stop!

We are not in an American movie...

and I can't tell you right away the hour of death,

but I can tell you that he has died between midnight and 2.

Can you tell me something about the cause of death?

He was shot and could even be realize that despite his young age.

Yes, but I wanted to know if you can say something more precise.

The shot came from some distance, from outside,

and, presumably, a shotgun or a gun.

Now I know I'll break your heart, but unfortunately I have to leave it.

I have work to do. See you later.

Bye bye.

Unfriendly! - The bullet came from abroad. - I heard it Fazio.

Go to the police station and check the logs to see,

If there are gun owners with duly declared firearms,

- in homes across the street. - Immediately. - Thank you.

I thought that Mr. It wasn't quite right.

Maybe he was tired of traveling or had been drinking too much,

and I didn't remember changing rooms.

It's very strange.

A man traveling for work A whole year, he was in the hotel...

Well, we can go.

- Fatherly! - Doctor. - Is Mrs. Rosina awake?

No, she's still under sedation.

You seal this room. Do you know about Dr. Panzeca?

-He came down, he had things to do do in the office. - I'll find it.

-Dr. Panzeca! I have to talk with you. - Certainly.

Wait, please.

- I still can't believe what happened yesterday - I know.

- I learned that Mr. Lo Castro I worked for you. - Yeah.

- What does your company do? - Imports and Exports.

especially with Eastern Europe. The company is called Kokalos.

We market in textiles and food.

-What was Lo Castro doing? - Was my commercial agent in Russia.

He took care of storage.

- Lately I had friction with someone? - No!

Everyone liked Saverio.

- How long did he work for you? - For almost 10 years.

Did he have disagreements with his wife? Was he tired of her?

No, no, commissioner.

Saverio adored Rosina and she loved him very much.

But he was restless, he didn't stay a long time in one place.

No! Doctor, what a calamity!

- Calm down, Catarella! - He had given it to me...

Fazio's wife with best wishes.

I thank you for your kindness. Don't worry about this!

Come in, come in, come in! What a disgrace!

I didn't want to give it to him, but he insisted on bringing it to her,

in person personally.

It doesn't matter, Thank your wife for me.

- Did you want to tell me something? - In the apartments across the street,

There are two gun owners, Negotiate and Ignacio Sgra Aquiles.

Let's talk to them.

Be careful where you step! The cookies are still good.

Only in Vigata and Montelusa...

12 injured by fireworks and gunshots of firearms.

The police have arrested a man that to celebrate the New Year...

- shot with a Kalashnikov. - I don't think it was an accident.

- Because? - The exchange of room is a funny thing.

- Maybe, if it had been while in the another room, nothing would have happened. - Yeah.

Too much bad luck too many coincidences.

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

- Good morning, the police. - Who sent you, my cuckold neighbor?

- No, why would he call us. - Because the television is too loud.

I'm going to turn it off. Take a seat.

In fact, the volume is a little high.

Speak. If my neighbor didn't do it come, then why is he here?

- You have a weapon correctly registered, we would like to see it. - Yeah.

It's in the kitchen, I can show you.

Here is my faithful friend. You are welcome.

- This is a weapon The Second World War. - Yeah.

With this I was through the entire war, we never lost a target.

It is a perfect device.

Once they wanted to change it for me, but I... I don't change it.

This weapon cannot fire. Of course not.

I have clogged the pipe for security reasons.

But I have so many memories. Let me tell you something...

Mr. Negotiate, we have to go.

- First let me tell you... - Again.

- Happy New Year, Mr. Negotiate. Happy new year! - Shit, wow!

That must be the Sgra apartment - Yeah.

It is in front of room 22.

Who are you? Police, Commissioner Montalbano.

- We have to talk to your husband. - Because? - What happened?

- Mr. Sgra, we must check his rifle. - Sit down. - Thank you.

Please. - Please, ma'am. Thank you. - Forward.

This gun has been fired recently.

Last night a man died at the Princesa Albergo.

killed by a bullet fired from one of these pipes.

- We have to check his weapon. - Ma... - Why?

- It's a shotgun, can't you hunt? - Calm down!

It is useless to remain silent, I will tell you everything.

Yesterday we had a party here with family and some friends.

I've been drinking too much. I should never have drunk.

After midnight, my children They started with rockets.

To have fun with them, I started throw shots in the air...

but I shot without endangering to no person.

This morning we heard the news,

about the man who died last night

Teresa, my wife, told me that The right thing to do was go to the police.

We think about that all day long.

But then we are afraid.

Fazio, she stays here. For the scientific aspects...

call Munno, we must do a ballistics test.

- He goes with me. - No!

Because? It was an accident!

Teresa, don't worry, We will solve everything.

- Don't worry! - Calm down, ma'am.

Dad.

Hello, I just wanted to exchange New Year's greetings.

- I haven't heard from you so... - Happy new year new for you too. - Thank you.

I was passing by and thought I would like it bring you a box of my wine.

I wanted you to try it when you came to see me.

You know, I don't have much time.

- I haven't even been able to find a house - Your work is exhausting.

But look for a house. There are good places and it is certainly beautiful here.

Now I must go.

I invited an old friend, but I didn't find it an hour ago.

The old Toto Giammusso, Do you remember her?

No, I don't remember it.

you were too small when we were dating.

Well, I'm leaving.

Greetings again, Salvo.

Greetings to you, Thank you for your visit and for the wine.

- I want to know if you like it. - Well.

- Greetings again, Salvo. - Okay, dad.

Gallo, Paterna, Catarella, Tortorella, come here!

- Here I am, doctor. - Present! - Yes, Commissioner?

This is a gift for you from my father and his winery.

- Take it. - Many thanks to his father. - I'm taking it for Fazio.

- Yes - Because I'm almost teetotal. - I drink a little.

- Take him to Fazio. - You Doesn't he even keep a bottle?

- This one is for me. Get back to work and do not drink in service. - Thank you.

Commissioner, I am Rosina Liotta, the wife of Saverio Lo Castro.

- Hello. - I couldn't come before. - How is he now?

When I woke up, and I remembered what had happened.

I wanted to go back to sleep right away.

I understand. Can we walk?

- Let's get some air and we will talk. - OK.

They told me that maybe It was an accident.

It is likely, but the investigations are still ongoing.

Do you already know who shot? I can't say anything yet.

It's strange to know that my husband is gone.

I used to see him little, He was always on business trips.

And now it's like it's gone again on one of his trips...

and as if I were going to see him again in a few months.

I must clarify the details.

Why does your husband take a room only when he comes to Vigata?

I understand, appearances may suggest problems.

- I don't want to imply anything. - No Don't worry, you are a policeman,

and this is your job.

Although Saverio was far away for work,

Ours was a beautiful marriage.

We were very happy.

Here in Vigata my husband He didn't sleep with me...

because he was very sensitive and I felt like it was a curse.

- What does this mean? - I couldn't sleep with anyone.

Saverio woke up even with the slightest noise.

Even if my breathing became a little deeper, he would wake up.

- So room 28... - Yes, you're right.

This is why I wanted the change of room. 22 faces the street.

The noise would not have left him sleep all night.

Instead, 28 faces the patio and it's quieter.

Believe me, Commissioner, My husband and I were very close.

If you don't need anything else, I'm going to leave.

Yes of course.

Do you have everything? Where are you going?

- High! - Who are you? - I am the Commissioner Montalbano. It's a pleasure.

- What bad luck! - Yes, give me these things.

What's your name? Pasquale Ciringia.

Where do you live?

Doctor, what do you say? Pasquale, what have you done?

I don't believe it, you're a criminal!

Sit down, doctor, I'll be back right away.

Out!

I didn't do anything! Oh really? Haven't you done anything?

Now stay here, silent.

Doctor, thanks for not take it to the police.

These are desperate times, I am a widow and I have to take care of everything.

- I have these unfortunate children... - You should control them more.

How can I do it? I work all day outside the home.

And even when I'm here...

Money is never enough, I barely got it.

I cook something for a nearby delicatessen.

- What can I do? - You can't do everything.

- Now I must go. - Thank you, Doctor.

Bye bye.

Thank you again Lord bless him. - Bye bye.

Unfortunate!

As soon as I grab you, I'll hit you!

- Any news? How is my husband?

I can't give you any news.

- I'm here to do some questions. - That? Me?

I have the feeling that it is hiding something and if so...

I want you to tell me everything. What does it mean?

Your husband is not the type to cling a gun and starts shooting.

- Maybe he's covering for someone, maybe one of his children. - No!

My children are not involved, my husband saves me from guilt,

because I took the shots to make New Year's Pops with my kids.

I'm going hunting with my father, with my brothers.

Ignacio doesn't even know how to handle a gun.

My father taught me when I was little.

- But he made the statement. - We sit here...

and we think that the best It was that my husband blamed himself,

for this story. I was the one who shot.

Teresa! What's happening?

-His wife has confessed, - She can go. It isn't true.

- I did the shooting. - No, Ignacio, it's okay.

A weight was lifted from my heart.

-Theresa. - Ignatius!

Go to the officer to sign the exit documents.

- Come on, think about the boys. - Come with me.

- Commissioner, I want to tell you something. - Say.

I thought a thousand times about those moments and it seems impossible to me.

When I go hunting I use a rifle since I was little.

I shot up. I grabbed it like this, with the tip facing up.

I don't understand how it happened.

We are waiting for information from the laboratory...

- and everything will be clearer. - Well. - Now you can rest.

Yes, I'm going to rest.

- Good morning, thank you for calling us. - No, not at all.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience that has been taken.

No, I was here by accident.

I saw the broken window and I called.

We're not usually here. This is our vacation home.

- You can leave us and go back to work. - No, I better go with you,

so if something is missing, it will avoid have to go to the police station.

- You are very kind. - No, not at all... please.

Everything seems fine.

- Does this overlook the terrace we saw? - Yes. - It's a bright room.

- Yeah - Can we go? It's all here.

Maybe some boy wanted see what it was like inside.

Can we see the terrace? Just out of curiosity.

Yes of course.

- Commissioner, are you okay? - Yes that's fine.

- I have a question for you. - What is it?

Montalbano, strength and courage!

Shit!

Wait! One moment!

I'm coming!

- Excuse me, I was in the shower. - Call the police...

and they gave me this address. Have to talk to you. It's urgent.

Come in, I'm going to change.

- Father, what is it? - My name is Don Luigi Barbera.

Sorry, it happened to me suddenly, but it's like a fairy tale.

- Forward. - So...

- What worries you father, tell me. - A person who is dying...

he wanted to confess and she revealed a secret.

A guilt for what an innocent has paid.

I convinced her to get rid of this weight not only before God,

but also before earthly justice.

I thought I was the person indicated to hear his confession.

- Maybe there is a misunderstanding, maybe This person is delusional. - No.

Don't let me carry this cross only.

And are you sure that this woman Is he still alive when we get there?

She is dying. Maybe still we can arrive on time.

Wait a minute.

- Hurry! - Shit!

Where are we? - It is a house for elders, the House of the Sacred Heart.

- At least tell me what his name is this lady. - Maria Carmela Spagnuolo.

- What is he dying of? - Of old age, he is more than 90 years old.

- Does she have a husband? Children? Grandchildren? - What I know is that she was widowed young.

He doesn't have children. She has a nephew who lives in Milan.

She lived in Vigata for years, after the death of her husband...

who had gone abroad.

- 5 years ago, she returned and has been done welcome here. - You don't know more?

Sure, I know everything, but what I know, he told me in confession.

Come on, Commissioner, please.

- Come on. - Wait.

Maybe it would be better call a doctor.

so the lady could talk to him.

- So that I can take care of her? - Don Luigi... she is dying.

- You may be impressed. - I understand it, but I take courage.

It's really important. Come on.

Mrs. Spagnuolo.

Maria Carmela, it's Don Luigi.

Here is the person which I talked to you about.

You can trust him. Tell him everything.

Yes... I'm leaving now and I'll come back when they're done.

Lady.

- Are you a fair person? - Madam, I hope so.

It wasn't poison.

Christina wanted.

I gave it to her, but it wasn't poison.

I was so bad then.

- But it has to be repaired. - As?

- Yes, let's think about it? - We can try.

- No, you should do a promise - Lady...

- You must promise. Do you promise me? - Madam... Please.

Yes, I promise, calm down.

Lady. Lady!

She's not breathing anymore.

She's not breathing! Don't breathe anymore!

He had time to tell me that Cristina wanted poison,

and she gave it to him, but it was not poison.

She said it was a mistake It has caused so much damage.

Did he say anything else? No.

He made me promise remedy the fault.

Don Luigi, I know very little, The lady told me very little.

Previously, you said that another person had paid instead.

- Did anyone go to jail? instead? - I can't say more.

- I would like to help, but... - Don Luigi, The lady is dead.

Now can't you tell me something what to clarify? - I would,

but I can't break character sacred of confession. - Yeah.

I can't go against the rules of a sacrament.

I'm sorry I couldn't do more. I I heard the lady's story...

and I made a kind of data sheet, maybe I can help you.

- Here we are. - Love, it's lovely! - See the gallery.

You have to see above! This This is the kitchen and this is the living room.

Oh! Here is my closet Grandma would look good.

Can you bring it? And here the credenza, a gift from my mother.

What a good bed! Next time I will put the quilt that I bought in Palermo.

Here is the terrace.

Do you like it? A lot.

I don't know how to keep the promise.

With the little he said, I didn't understand anything.

- Forget it, I'll see you tomorrow. - Read the role of the priest.

You're right, I forgot.

"Maria Carmela Spagnuolo born in Vigata on September 6, 1900."

"Daughter of a lawyer. In 1920 "marries Dr. Alfredo Siracusa"

"Very rich pharmacist. The couple had no children."

"She became a widow in 1939, sell everything the following year "

"She moved to Paris, going to live with his brother James."

"A career diplomat."

Why would a woman, living in Vigata in 1940, after being widowed,

decide to move to Paris?

Leaving his family, friends, acquaintances... In fact, it's strange.

- Don Luigi. - Commissioner. Last night I couldn't sleep. - What happened?

- I haven't slept a wink. - Because? - I was afraid that I might regret it.

- So I ran here to repeat... - What?

- It is important to resolve this case. - I will keep my promise,

but we are talking about an event which happened in 1940.

- It's not easy. - Did he tell you the name of the deceased? - No.

- And you know this? - I am a police! Come on, I'll buy you a coffee.

At the beginning of 1940, Cristina goes to see Maria Carmela Spagnuolo,

who is the widow of a pharmacist, and asks for the poison.

Fearing that Cristina plans to kill to someone, it gives a harmless powder.

Cristina gives the fake poison to the person you want to kill,

but this person does not die. If things were going well...

Mrs. Spagnuolo would not have had no reason to regret,

because it wasn't poison. But if she He has such deep pain...

This means that things They haven't gone as I expected.

- Is it a good theory? - Yes, it's a good theory.

But even if it wasn't Cristina's fault Because of the poison, the person dies.

He didn't die by a knife or a weapon, but dies from poisoning.

Do you agree?

Otherwise, Mrs. Spagnuolo I wouldn't be so distressed.

Maybe after the homicide, the lady Spagnuolo thought he was wrong,

and given a real poison.

I put the cakes inside that you like.

In a few days it is Three Kings and I thought about preparing a stocking.

- Thank you, but the sock... - Doctor, I couldn't make "shoes."

Fazio, I also did a sock for the Doctor.

Catarella, now back to switchboard, someone could call.

- Yeah! Doctor, there is a lady Vicenza for you. - Vicenza?

- I don't know anyone from Vicenza. - Don't you remember me?

Master Di Vincenzo, how are you? Thank you, Catarella, you can go.

What a pleasure! How are you doing?

I'm fine, yesterday I found out you were here and came immediately to Vigata,

- but you were usually the "thief" at school. - Why didn't you call me?

- I don't even have a phone yet. - I have a lot of work.

- But do you have news about Gege? - I don't see him much.

You were always together. I seem to see them as then.

- I'm here to invite you to dinner. Come whenever you want. - When do you say?

- Tomorrow night? - Yeah.

I'm going to prepare so many good things. My joy, give me a kiss.

- Thank you, teacher. - Bye bye. - See you See you tomorrow. Have a good day.

My teacher, Fazio, I'm going to see him medical examiner, See you later.

OK? Thank you.

The bullets are different, the gun de Sgra Castro did not kill him.

The ballistic test confirms that Mrs. Sgra shot upward.

-She was shooting in the air, according to his own words. - Exactly.

The killer was shooting from a highest point, and diagonally.

Montalbano, I hope you have other alternatives.

From here we have to start again.

Can I call the police station?

-Fazio. - Doctor. Good morning, Dr. Munno. - Good morning, Fazio.

- The Sgra did not shoot him. - Doctor Munno, can we talk a little more?

I hope it's a quick thing, I have a lot of work in the laboratory.

You just have to check one thing and then we'll go.

- Fazio, do you feel bad? - No.

I'm a little heavy, like a lot these days.

- Who are you? - The police, We are here for a visit.

- When are you going to finish working? - In two more hours.

Do you think the killer could have shot from here? - Can you say?

Montalbano, has a theory. I know what you're thinking.

- Are you telling me that the murderer can have shot from here? - Clear.

Fire line is supported with the findings made.

How long does it take to verify it?

- Soon, I'll check if there is traces of gunpowder. - Well.

Now I have to do some research about Lo Castro and his wife.

We have to start, Fazio.

Saverio Castro, born in Vigata 1938, son of Lincetto Rosario and María.

An accountant. After school, in Trinacria he was in the Bank,

So they agreed to work with imports and exports to Russia.

There are no fights, disagreements... A normal life.

Of his wife there is something more interesting.

Liotta Rosina, born in Catania, daughter of Giuseppe and Carmela Maggiorino...

Do you have to tell me all the details?

Doctor, I like to be precise.

At 16, he started working in Catania, Italy as a waitress in the Hotel.

Two years later, she had a relationship with a hotel customer,

Commendatore Catalisano, from Vigata.

He was over 60 years old and died of a heart attack after 3 years.

After the funeral, Rosina was summoned here in Vigata by a notary.

- Rosina could sell well. - Exactly.

Catalisano left a legacy, a building here in Vigata and money.

The money is credited to your account at the bank where Lo Castro was a teller.

Rosina moved here and Lo Castro He helped her invest the money.

He suggested transforming the building into a hotel.

Between investment and more, love blossomed and they got married.

- Then they opened the Princess. - Was Lo Castro like Catalisano?

No, they both loved each other and when Lo Castro offered them both to go to Russia,

Rosina was not happy, they fought, but he was interested and accepted.

Well. Did she find another one?

Arnone, the janitor. Rosina knew him for some time...

because they worked together Catania at the Hotel.

After some years, Rosina wanted him on the Princess.

- Why, after so many years, does she did you return to Vigata? - Don't know.

Arnone has a story of when I was a child, robbery, mutiny...

But since he started working At the hotel, he behaved well.

Shall we interrogate Mrs. Rosina?

Not right away.

- This is what I expected! - The tie?

Lo Castro was not in the wrong room.

When the party was over, he was here,

and began to undress taking off his tie...

- but, for some reason, it stopped and returned to room 22. - Sure.

But now we have to understand,

why did he leave again to room 22?

It's me, Montalbano. Send me to Milena to room 28, please.

- Immediately. - Thank you.

- Between. - Doctor, I'm glad to see you.

When he left the room, I didn't have time to say goodbye.

- Milena, do you? brought the luggage What Castro to the room? - Yeah.

- Why do you ask? - Can I ask you a favor?

Please take Lo Castro's things and take them back to room 22.

Organize them as you left them, pick them up again and bring them here.

- Do I do this now? - Yes, it's important.

Here I am again.

- Thank you, Milena, excuse me, but It was necessary. - It's my job.

- Mrs. Rosina is waiting for you downstairs. - Let's finish this first.

Doctor, I remembered Anything else.

Among the things that were in the bathroom...

there was a package that It's not here now.

- Do you know what it could be? - It was a package wrapped in tissue paper,

and it was tied with tape.

I'm going to talk to the lady, Help Milena find the package.

Okay Doctor.

- Good morning. - I heard that they have released the woman who shot him.

We found that he had nothing to do with the death of her husband.

I miss it! It seems incredible, a husband who was never here,

and when I was here, He didn't even sleep with me.

It's hard to understand, but I'm feeling it.

He must have met Gaspar Arnone for many years,

since he worked in hotel in Catania.

Why did you come from there to work in this hotel?

In Catania, he was the director in the hotel where he worked.

In addition to being colleagues, we became good friends.

10 years ago, my husband accepted that damn job in Russia.

I didn't want him to go that far and I tried to keep it here,

But he was excited about that one. work and I had to let it go.

I found myself alone to manage the hotel.

I needed someone from confidence and called Gaspar.

He had not been appreciated for years, and I proposed a higher salary than I had,

- and agreed. - Do you remember where Was he there at midnight on the 31st?

- Was he working? - Do you think...?

- Gaspar is a good person. - Surely.

But I do my job and I must verify every alibi.

Gaspar was in the living room with us.

Towards midnight the staff He joined us for the toast.

He stayed with us until 3 am.

Well, okay. If I think anything else, I'll call her.

Last thing, do you remember if your husband took a walk on the afternoon of the 31st,

or stayed at the hotel?

He left for an hour.

He took my car. I wanted to go to the city.

- Thank you. Bye bye. - Bye bye.

We have searched everywhere in the Fourth, the package is not found.

I imagined it. Was the pharmacy Open on New Year's Eve?

Because? Via Basile was open.

- I was there to get a medicine - What medicine?

To overeat for the New Year.

I'm sorry, doctor, You don't know what you missed.

- Good morning. Good morning. - Good morning.

- Bye bye. - Bye bye!

I enjoy every time Someone look at those photos.

- This pharmacy has existed since 1875. - Excuse me, we are the police.

- Commissioner Montalbano, a pleasure. - A pleasure.

- Did you know Saverio Lo Castro? - Yes, I knew him,

since his days as treasurer from the bank, I heard how he died.

- A terrible thing. - Do you remember Yes on the afternoon of the 31st?

- Did Mr. Lo Castro come here? to buy something? - Clear.

Bought a box of sleeping pills and earplugs.

- He always had these precautions when I was passing by here. - Thank you. - Please.

- Do you think the package is...? - We haven't found it.

Plugs and sleeping pills that Lo Castro bought here.

Do you think it has anything to do with it?

Yes, Lo Castro left the meeting and returned to his room, number 28.

You notice that the package it's not there,

and thinks that Milena He forgot it at 22.

Enter room 22,

and someone from the building across the street He shoots him in the heart.

The package was taken from room 28 and put in room 22 on purpose.

Lo Castro then placed himself in the shooter's sights.

Do you suspect Arnone and Rosina?

It is the most obvious explanation. They are both handsome.

They are the same age, but they lack most importantly, a reason.

Why kill such a "Practical" husband? He was always abroad.

Maybe they had an affair,

but the fact that the husband It was not a problem remains.

- Where was the key to the room 22? - Near the corpse.

Upon leaving his room, Lo Castro He has the key to 28...

and in order to enter 22, he called the concierge to ask for the key.

- He must have said why. - But Arnone didn't say anything.

However.

- Good morning. - Good morning. - Wants the key to the sealed room?

- No, we are here to talk to you. - With me?

- Did you give him the key to room 22? to Lo Castro after the party? - No.

shortly before midnight I celebrated with everyone else.

- The reception was empty. -Lo Castro, after New Year's Eve,

It was at 22, instead of 28. The key was near the body.

- Someone gave him the key. - The probability is that Lo Castro,

have come to the lobby and took the key himself.

He was the owner's husband. This was his house.

- Besides these, are there others room keys? - Clear.

The master game, Milena uses it to clean the rooms.

Thank you.

- When I return to the station, I must return to review the records. - You can't.

- You must go to dinner with your old teacher - I forgot!

Keep an agenda...

- Excuse me. - Yeah? - Do you know where can I find a taxi? - On that street.

Thank you.

Except!

Except!

Are you there?

He was a beloved son, and he treated me with tenderness,

- because he had lost his mother as a child - How sweet!

He liked books.

When someone asked What did I want to do when I grew up?

he replied that I wanted to be a priest.

I'm glad it's not priest, but he is a policeman.

So I ask you a question. What do you know about the Nortarbartolo crime?

Nortarbartolo? Don't you know? It is a famous case,

the case of the Banco di Sicilia that took place in the last century.

Ciccina, just solve current cases, he is not a historian.

Ciccina is passionate about cases police for many years.

It's true, I know all the crimes that have occurred in Sicily,

- after the unification of Italy until today. - Oh really? - Clear.

Do you remember Maria Carmela Spagnuolo?

Maria Carmela Spagnuolo... I don't know her.

What a pity!

- Hello? - It's Ciccina, you fooled me.

- I don't understand. - You said Maria Carmela Spagnuolo.

I don't remember because that's it her married name, from Syracuse.

If you want to know about the case, come right now...

before I leave tomorrow morning. - Now?

Okay, Ciccina, I'm coming.

Ciccina? Ciccina. Who is she?

Except!

It was a story that was news at the time.

They used to put a "gag" in crime stories.

- It is a case that occurred in the early months of 1940, right? - Yeah.

On New Year's Eve 1940, in the circle of squires of Vigata.

His lawyer, Nene Ferlito, fell sick and not for the first time.

But he continued smoking like a "Turk" and leading a good life.

This time he fell. It was a very serious attack,

and they called the doctor.

The doctor said it was an attack of angina pectoris,

and gave the medicine to Mrs. Cristina, the wife of lawyer Nene Ferlito.

The lady was nervous and he had to repeat several times,

how to give the medicine to her husband regularly,

following your instructions, or the husband was going to die.

On the morning of January 1, 1940,

the doctor came back and found Nene Ferlito dead.

and Mrs. Cristina in shock.

The doctor observed that the bottle of medicines given by him,

it had not been opened.

Ms. Cristina said that her husband had died during the night,

just when she left alone with him.

But the suspicious rumors They began to circulate.

Nene Ferlito He had always been a womanizer.

And poor Cristina, After years of wearing horns,

began to console himself with his nephew Atilio.

But the story was short lived because the boy wanted to stop.

Cristina didn't want to hear this and Desperate, she wrote letters to him,

where he promised would kill her husband,

and then I would go live with him.

The rumors got wild and everything Vigata wasn't talking about anything else.

Everyone was convinced that Nene Ferlito He had not died of angina pectoris...

but he was murdered for his wife.

The matter broke out and filled all the newspapers.

Cristina's father was part of the powerful La Biasca family,

one of the most influential families from Sicily.

He did everything he could to silence him.

But it was useless, because story continued to spread.

Cristina could no longer flee from the police...

and she confessed to having killed her husband with poison...

that Mrs. Spagnuolo had given him, the widow of Alfredo Siracusa.

And here appears Mrs. Spagnuolo who was a friend of Cristina.

She confirmed the version given to the police by Cristina,

namely, that Cristina asked for rat poison

and that she had sold it to him without asking him why he needed it.

She gave the same version later in court.

The process ended with Cristina sentenced to 20 years.

If what María Carmela said is true,

Mr. Ferlito then died due to natural causes.

- Cristina thought about killing him, but he didn't do it. - Exactly.

If Mrs. Spagnuolo He didn't give Cristina the poison,

that means he had good intentions and wanted to protect her.

Of course! But then why continue supporting the story...

that she really gave him the poison?

She could exonerate her friend, instead of condemning it.

Holy Mother! Maria, you scared me!

Have you forgotten that I was coming back? I waited for you at the bus stop.

Shit! You're right. I'm sorry, I had so many complications...

I heard you when you came back. Who is this Ciccina?

And why did you go with her? at night? - It's just a misunderstanding.

She is over 70 years old and is the cousin from my elementary school teacher.

- And why did you have to see it at night? - I went because she called me.

I remembered things about the Lady Spagnuolo and the story of Cristina,

and I could only see her tonight.

- Weren't you going to stay out? of this story? - Yeah.

But this Ciccina is an expert in acts of crime,

- and I had asked him about the case. - What kind of life is this?

A boyfriend who doesn't remember when I come and receives phone calls at 2 am.

- It's the life of a police officer. - A policeman...

Do you think that a woman can live this way with you?

No, I guess not.

- OK. - Wait, I'm sorry!

I didn't mean that, but I'm tired.

This bothers me. I can't stay here with you.

I won't feel guilty for this.

It should be normal to want to live with the person you love.

You should see your expression.

Let's stop here, I don't want to become pathetic.

- What are you doing? - I'm leaving, what do you think I'm doing?

No, wait until tomorrow.

- At least let me take you to the bus - I don't need it.

Maria!

Doctor!

- Come on, come outside! - What happened? - You can't swim in January.

You run the risk of getting sick. - I'm sick for another reason. - Because?

- By a woman. - For a woman It's not easy being with a police officer.

- And if that police officer's name is Montalbano... - Don't say that.

In these things, You just have to wait for it to pass.

However, you need Don't worry, be well.

Thank you. But why have you come here?

Mrs. Lo Castro called.

I told him to come to the police station and then I called him.

I went and found no one over there. So I came here... Get dressed.

- Good morning, Commissioner. - Good morning.

Sorry if I called you too early.

Don't worry.

Tell me.

I have thought a lot and now I'm determined.

Until now I hadn't said anything for fear that they would kill me too.

Kill her? Who? Explain yourself better.

For some time now, my husband was very worried,

about the things that happened to him with the Russian mafia.

I don't really know what he meant.

On the phone I have never said things specifically,

but lately I was getting more and more worried.

Admitting that her husband had something to do with the Russian mafia...

It seems strange that to kill him,

they would come to Sicily with the risk of crashing,

with the local mafia. They could do it in Russia.

Does your husband only take care of import and export?

Or is it something else?

Don't you think it's strange that in many years...

never took me to Russia? I asked him many times.

Among his things, I never found a ticket, a bill...

I have the feeling that he and Panzeca did not get along.

Panzeca Vicente, 51 years old, Doctor in Economic Sciences.

He has a clean record and in what As far as the company is concerned, everything is fine.

- They also made him a knight, - Congratulations!

Panzeca is married to Cynthia Verbaro! Do you understand, doctor?

- What should I know? - You don't know?

- Cynthia Verbaro is a granddaughter of Don Balduccio Sinagra. - Sinagra?

What happens among the Sinagras and the Russians? - Don't know.

But since Don Balduccio is a fugitive, the Sinagras do little here.

Maybe they tried to do business with the Russian mafia.

It is possible that Lo Castro was a kind of courier service.

But who killed him? Sicilians, Russians... And why?

Good morning madam. I am the Commissioner Montalbano. We must see Dr. Panzeca.

Dr. Panzeca.

Yes... There is a Commissioner "Montagnano" who wants to see him.

Alright.

Please, at the end of the hall to the right.

We should introduce you to officer Catarella.

- He would be your type. - Yes, well. - Imagine what a couple!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Commissioner! Take a seat. - Good morning. - Good morning.

Dr. Panzeca, we are trying to tie up some loose ends.

We need your help with a couple of things.

The first is that we need the documentation of this company.

The second is that, probably, we have to talk,

with some of his co-workers. What does this have to do with my business?

I want to be honest. We are hearing strange rumors,

about his business in Russia, his relations with a mafia family...

They are slander, I don't think...

- However, his wife... - I should have guessed.

You are not the first police officer to He asks me about my marriage.

Shouldn't I have gotten married?

Or maybe you have family and must he remain unmarried?

We just have to find out What killed Lo Castro.

So we have to find everything about his life, his family... everything.

My wife is an only granddaughter of a second cousin of Balduccio Sinagra,

and has never had anything what to do with him.

I have never asked for any thing to the family.

I have always allowed myself to work at peace and my affairs are clean.

Try to prove the opposite.

Show us everything we have to see.

But how do you react? this way...

If you have nothing to hide, you don't need to worry. Bye bye.

Bye bye.

With this dish, it will be in a good mood.

I hope so, Calogero.

- I found the point of contact with Sinagra we were looking for. - Oh.

- If you want to finish before watching it... - No, tell me everything.

Milena Di Renzo, the waitress who found Lo Castro's body.

Worked for 8 years as secretary of Panzeca.

But he left two months ago and this is strange.

He left a place where he earned more than as a waitress.

Do you think Panzeca can have had an accomplice?

Yes, help at the hotel could help you.

She especially helped when Lo Castro wanted to change rooms.

The concierge told us that Milena I had the master key.

- Could move the package with plugs and sleeping pills. - Exact.

In this way, they were sure that Lo Castro would return to room 22.

And across the street, a Sinagra was ready to fire.

What is it? You are not convinced?

I don't know Fazio, it seems a little strange to me.

Milena told us the story of package. Why would I do it?

And then she appears compromised in a mafia crime.

However we must investigate this girl.

Maybe.

Between.

- Doctor, Milena Di Renzo is here. - What come in?

Come.

Commissar!

Why did you send for me? Because of the story of Mr. Lo Castro?

Yes and no.

Explain to us why 2 months ago left the job with Dr. Panzeca,

to take a job at the Princess for a lower salary.

The hours on the Princess They are more convenient.

My mother is sick and I...

Tell me what you think the magistrate I would say if I let you know this story.

He would say that Dr.Panzeca I wanted to kill Lo Castro,

- but to do this... - Vincent? It's not possible.

Yes, the judge would say that Panzeca,

or Vicente, however prefer to call him,

he had wanted to kill his coworker,

but for this, you need a accomplice inside the hotel.

This accomplice had to be someone I trusted,

and maybe he had prepared it two months before.

Maybe the accomplice took the room 22 package,

to force Lo Castro to go to the room 22 and be killed.

That's false! It's not true!

I said that he package was missing.

- If I had taken it out, there would not have been said nothing. - That's true.

Now explain why two weeks before opened a new account,

in which he entered 20 million paid by Panzeca.

Do I have to tell him the truth?

I did not leave work with Vicente neither for my mother nor as you say.

I stopped working with Vicente because We have loved each other for a long time.

His wife became suspicious and you know what his family is...

I couldn't stay there.

So Vicente found me a place on the Princess.

He gave me the 20 million to compensate for the money I was going to lose.

Vicente could not have killed to Lo Castro. He and Lo Castro were friends.

Please, Mr. Panzecco.

You can go, but remain available.

- Please sit down. - I didn't have to involve her in this story.

- You scared the poor girl. - Calm down and sit down. - No.

I don't want to sit down or calm down. I have had a relationship with Milena... So what?

Now I'm broke and some from my wife's family...

They are going to want to kill me.

Is it a crime to betray my wife?

Is it a crime to love a woman?

And what does all this have to do with it? to do with Saverio's death?

We just wanted to confirm what the lady told us.

- Calm down, you'll feel better. - Oh really? Can I be calm?

Mister!

This morning I was coming here anyway.

This is a certified letter by Saverio Lo Castro. It arrived this morning.

I think it was late because of the holidays.

Maybe it could help your research.

I have one last question regarding New Year's Eve.

- I hope you remember it well. - Clear.

REGINA HOTEL

Madam, the Commissioner wants to talk to you.

Tell him to come back later, I have a headache.

Does it hurt a lot?

Because we have to talk long and long.

Do you know what this is? It's a letter of her husband's resignation,

that he sent to Dr. Panzeca ago a few days. - What does this mean?

This means that everything is clear and We are here to arrest both of you.

Are they arresting us? - Yeah.

Lady, your husband wanted leave your job in Russia,

and return here to Vigata.

- But it should be put to an end to your relationship. - It's a joke?

- These are fantasies. - They had already been lovers for many years in Catania.

But the lady wanted to change her life, She moved here and married Lo Castro.

After a few years, Lo Castro accepted work in Russia. She was unhappy,

but after a while, nostalgia He triumphed and the pain stopped.

So he called Arnone, his former colleague and lover.

The story began again, and became more intense, more serious.

Am I a widow of a few days and you come here to insult me?

Her husband decided to come live here, and he might suspect something...

so they were left with only one solution: kill him.

Sit down, ma'am. You played well role of the bereaved widow,

but it is no longer of any use.

His was a good plan, wanting kill him by simulating an accident...

a death that would seem absurd due to an accident on New Year's.

Everything was prepared for happen in room 22.

But the unexpected happened.

Room 28 was free and her husband He wanted to change rooms.

He took the packet of pills to sleep in room 28,

and took them to room 22. So his husband would have to return to that room.

At that time, Arnone was in the building across the street with a rifle.

But who says so?

I was in the living room celebrating with the other guests!

It's true. He was there. I swear.

Oh really?

You thought that in the confusion no one I would have noticed his absence.

But there are witnesses willing to swear,

who was absent from the room for at least half an hour.

A maid saw him leave just after midnight,

and come back an hour later.

You also thought about generating a confusion.

You knew we had just released the person in front of the building.

He then began to speak about the Russian mafia.

He knew about Panzeca's deception and he wanted to implicate the Sinagras.

His plan was well thought out,

but this letter has been thrown down his house of cards.

One last thing, the most important.

When I received the letter, I put microphones in his apartment.

The recordings obtained are very compromising.

I have nothing to do with it!

I swear, it was Gaspar. He did it all on his own!

It was him.

Doctor, you didn't tell me which has a microphone.

- I didn't do it. - Is it the lid of a salt shaker?

It's like in an American movie where They put microphones everywhere.

- Mrs. Di Vincenzo, where are you going? - Home! - Come up.

- Thank you. - Give it to me. - Help me.

I bought so many things without thinking How was I going to get them home?

- Today I make pasta scasciata. - Oh how good!

So I bought the maccheroncelli, beef, tomato,

eggs, eggplant, cheese radish, salami, parsley.

I cook meat slowly in the tomato sauce.

I cool the eggplants quickly in the hot oil and drain them well.

Then I put everything in the pan.

Enough, please! I'm dying...

So come eat at my house.

I can't, I have an appointment with the inspector.

What a pity!

Did you like the pasta scasciata? TRUE? I hope the meatballs...

They were undoubtedly very good.

- I'm working on the new story from Mrs. Spagnuolo. - What do you know?

In my opinion, one must have had a deep resentment.

From the newspapers of the time, I discovered that Maria Carmela,

made his statement on January 20, 1940.

- She said that Cristina had given her the poison in November 1939. - Yes.

But it wasn't poison. Mrs. Spagnuolo told me.

In November, Maria Carmela She was a friend of Cristina.

When Cristina asked for the poison, Maria Carmela gave him something innocuous,

so as not to put her in trouble.

Two months later, in January, something changes.

Maria Carmela says that He had given the poison to Cristina.

- But something serious happened between both. - Do you know what happened? - No.

I don't think I'll ever understand it.

Well!

- What are you looking at? - Pills! - I need them for my stomach.

Without these, I don't digest anything. They make them for me at the pharmacy.

- What apothecary? - Dr. De Gregorio.

Doctor, good morning. - Good morning, Commissar. - Excuse me.

- Years ago, this was the pharmacy from Dr. Siracusa, right? - Yeah.

He took me as his assistant, but he died in September of '39.

I asked the widow if I could buy the pharmacy from him.

At the end of November we agreed.

- Since '40, this has been my pharmacy. - I'm going to ask you a strange question.

Do you remember between November 39 and January 40?

Was there something strange that happened to the widow of Siracusa, Mrs. Spagnuolo?

- Something special... - Why are you asking me that?

Before dying, Mrs. Maria Carmela He asked me to verify something.

- Is the lady dead? - Yeah. - I'm sorry, but I wasn't young anymore.

However there is one thing which I have never mentioned.

At the beginning of December of '39, when had agreed with Mrs. Maria Carmela,

I was taking an inventory of the pharmacy and in the back room,

on Dr Siracusa's desk, I found a locked drawer.

I told Mrs. Spagnuolo who took her husband's keys,

found the right key and opened the drawer.

It contained maps and photographs.

Someone came into the store and I attended to that customer. It only took me a few minutes,

and immediately went back.

I found the lady sitting on the ground.

She was pale and trembling.

She had thrown away the cards and the photos that were in the drawer.

After 2 minutes, he left taking what was in the drawer.

I haven't seen her since then.

I don't know what I had seen.

But since that day, she He never returned to the pharmacy.

Hello, are you here for a visit? No, I'm Agatino Catarella.

I am a friend of Miguel Spagnuolo, the grandson of María Spagnuolo.

Of course, Mrs. Maria Carmela.

Miguel Spagnuolo gave me instructions take care of your personal effects.

- He said they were in a trunk and he wanted take your measurements. - It's in the warehouse.

Come on, Mr. Catarella.

There are a lot of things.

So... Here it is.

- Is this? - Yeah - Oh, I forgot the tape measure!

I'll see if I can find him a measuring tape.

- Thank you, sister. - I'll be back.

Thanks again.

- Father, it was a mistake! - No, you couldn't stop me.

- It was a foul! - No. It wasn't.

Commissar!

Don Luigi is doing very good at playing football.

I'll be right back.

- Did you know anything? - I have discovered everything.

How did he do it? I found the letters.

Maria Carmela, in November '39, She was a friend of Cristina.

When he then asked him to give him the poison,

She gave him something innocuous.

But then he discovered that Cristina was her husband's lover.

As revenge, he told the police that really gave Cristina poison.

Mrs. Spagnuolo made him promise to remedy that failure.

But this was 50 years ago.

- Cristina will have died a long time ago time. - No. - Is she still alive?

Yes, he lives with his daughter Agatha in Catania. She has forgiven her.

- They have a nice house on Via Gomez, 32 years old. - Why are you telling me that?

- Remember your promise. - Don Luigi!

You do what I, as a priest, I can't. This will restore your serenity,

to a person just when he He doesn't expect anything else from life.

This time you can illuminate the existence of that woman.

Do you think resurrecting a story so old could give peace to your mind?

María Carmela Spagnuolo asked if you and only you could do it.

The... Of course! You are a priest... My grandfather was right.

"The monks and priests... They share the Mass and they break your ass."

Montalbano!

Thank you.

- Good morning. - Good morning. - I'm looking for Mrs. Agatha Ferlito.

Is she at home? - Yes, I attend to them children. - Are they Mrs. Ferlito's children?

No, they are the grandchildren, of course.

I am a police officer and actually I'm trying to find Mrs. Cristina.

- I have some information for her. Is she in the house? - Yes, come in.

- It's the second room from the left. - Thank you.

Can I come in?

Can I come in?

Lady...

- Bye bye. - Did you talk to the lady?

- Yes, yes... goodbye. - Bye bye.

Bravo, dad!

Forward!

- Doctor, if you want we can come back later. - No, please, sit down.

If you want some cookies... They're like the ones your wife makes.

- Good morning, doctor. - Good morning. - This is my son José.

- License ended and returns the police school. - It's a pleasure.

- The pleasure is mine. - Your father always talks about you. - And he from you.

How do you handle being a cadet? - Very good.

- What are you doing there? - Of everything.

At 6:30 we got up, at 7:30, training in the gym.

At 9:30, we have the Criminal Law lesson.

At 11:30 they take us to the training track.

- and then the walk with the officers. - He's just like his father!

You have it in your blood. Do you want a little wine from the Montalbano estate?

OK, Montalbano invites!

- So let's celebrate the new year. - Exactly. - Thank you. - Thank you.

Enough.
