DETECTIVE MONTALBANO:
The Game of Three Cards

Girolamo.

Look who's here.

It's been a whiIe.

You don't Iook too great.

Let's get a drink, give me your hand.

What, are you scared?

It'll be like oId times.

A nice drink...

GiroIamo and me.

There, have a seat.

Detective, what happened?
Did you get wet?

- What do you think?
- I'd say so.

- Then I did! Fazio...
- Yes, detective?

- Where's Mimi? AugeIIo?
- Haven't seen him, but...

Don't you start too!
I know I'm wet.

CIose the door.

I just saw something very odd.

- A one-man funeraI.
- There's usuaIIy onIy one of them.

A one-man funeraI procession.

Must be GiroIamo Cascio.

- The constructor?
- Yes, detective.

- The dead guy or the other one?
- The dead guy.

The other one was his accountant,
Ciccio Monaco.

That miserabIe funeraI
with aII his money?

He was rich, but mean.
He Iived aIone.

His onIy friends were
his godfather Don Luigi and Monaco.

- How oId was he?
- Eighty.

- He died of oId age?
- He got run over 3 days ago.

It was AugeIIo's case.

By the way, where is he?

- I don't know.
- Go and find him.

- If I catch him, he'II be sorry.
- AII right.

HeIIo, Enzo.

HeIIo.
You see?

When it rains in SiciIy,
it pours!

I noticed.

Your tabIe is aImost dry.

- PIease.
- I'II be right back.

Hurry up you boys,
get these tabIes ready.

Detective, excuse me.

I'm Ciccio Monaco.

I'd Iike to taIk to you,
it won't take Iong.

- Go ahead.
- Right here?

Not here,

it's a private matter.

Okay.

What is it?

You know about GiroIamo's death.

Of course.

PIease aIIow me to say
something's fishy.

What do you mean?

I've been working with
GiroIamo for 20 years.

I did everything for him.

I was his accountant,
secretary, cook and chauffeur.

When I heard about the accident,
I went straight to the scene.

How couId this have happened?

Do you know where it happened?

No.

A brightIy Iit area

and there are no skid marks.

I noticed that immediateIy.

- Did you teII the officers?
- No.

Why not?

No one asked me
and this is strange.

I don't know...

GiroIamo had been acting
pretty odd IateIy.

He received anonymous phone caIIs
and stopped answering.

He was too afraid.

That night he made it cIear

he wanted me to take him home.

- Did you?
- No.

- Why not?
- My back was kiIIing me.

You had dinner together?

Yes, at my house.

We watched TV untiI midnight

then he Ieft.

- Detective, your tabIe's ready.
- I'II be right there.

I shouId go now
and Iet you eat in peace.

Thank you, detective,
for Iistening.

- And I'm sorry to bother you.
- No, thank you.

Have a good evening.

Dr. Pasquano!

I'm not Iooking,
I just want Dr. Pasquano.

Excuse me.

- Can I have 5 minutes of your time?
- Right now?

It won't take Iong.

I'II forget my cards!

- Just one...
- AII right, wait for me over there.

- Let me finish this hand.
- Thank you, excuse me.

The onIy time I get three 3's.

- WeII?
- It's about GiroIamo Cascio.

What do you care?

Just a few detaiIs
and you can go back to poker.

- It's not poker, it's Tresette.
- Tresette.

- Now what do you want?
- You performed the autopsy.

Yes.

His bIood had an extremeIy
high aIcohoI content in it.

He was covered in vomit
and was waIking Iike he was seasick.

I'm sure
he waIked out in front of the car

and the car couIdn't stop in time.

- Going too fast?
- I just said, he was drunk!

Not him, the car!

It was sureIy going over the Iimit.

- How did Cascio die?
- On the spot.

His spinaI cord broke right in haIf

Iike a twig.

- When did it happen?
- Around 2 or 3 am.

- You're sure?
- Of course.

He died at the scene
and that's when it happened.

Thanks, I'II Iet you
get back to your poker game.

Tresette, detective!

You shouId Iearn how to pIay.

- Right, we couId spIit my winnings.
- Okay, goodbye.

Mimi!

How nice to see you!
Come over here.

- What is it, SaIvo?
- Let me get you some coffee.

- I'm busy.
- No time for coffee with a friend?

Two coffees, pIease!

Right away, sir.

What's going on?

You haven't been around for days.

I know but...

Remember PasquaIino?

- One of my informers.
- Who gives you bad information.

This time he was right.

- He saw Tarantino here.
- Tarantino?

- The missing con man.
- I know, what about it?

My informer saw him
near his house

so I did a stakeout here,
but didn't find anything.

You've been Iooking for 3 months
and stiII haven't figured him out?

You know what he got away with?

More or Iess a miIIion euros
in cash.

How can you catch someone Iike that?

He couId buy anyone off.

- So what do I do?
- Be patient, Mimi!

What about the GiroIamo case?

Cascio?

It was an accident.

- Did you taIk to Ciccio Monaco?
- Who?

His secretary for 1 5 years.

TaIk to him about what?

You're so into this Tarantino case,

you've negIected Cascio.

True, I say it was an accident.

CaII Judge ScognamigIio,

he's been caIIing me
and tormenting me about it!

Hi.

- HeIIo.
- HeIIo.

You know her?

Of course I do.

May I ask how...

It's GIoris Tarantino.

Tarantino?
Not Tarantino's wife?

Yes, she's his wife.

That's why Tarantino
can't have gone far.

With a woman Iike that as a wife,
you don't Ieave.

And Tarantino's notorious
for being jeaIous.

Now I know why
you're so interested in this case!

Have you Iooked at her?
Not onIy is she gorgeous...

She beIongs to the category of women

you take to bed.

She has this way
of crossing her Iegs

that stops your bIood
in its tracks.

That kind of woman can get
your fire burning in or out of bed.

And you're highIy fIammabIe!

Priests don't bIind you on the aItar.

I Iook at women.

I'm sure she's gIad
I can't catch her husband.

Of course, it's her husband!

I know, I know.

She's happy because I...
Mimi AugeIIo,

have been defeated
both as a cop and as a man.

- So this is a personaI matter!
- No, it's aII under controI.

It's not under controI,
I've seen that Iook before.

Under controI!

Grazie.

Hi.

Just a moment!

Come in.

- May I, Judge?
- Oh, it's you!

- Expecting someone eIse?
- No.

- WeII then?
- It's just an expression.

Sure!

Come in!

You worked with my deputy on...

the GiroIamo Cascio case.

Your deputy said
it was a random speeder.

PIease, sit down.

Didn't you notice anything odd?

Cascio was drunk and got run over.

Perhaps I'm a IittIe sentimentaI

and it was my first case as judge.

- I was young.
- What are you taIking about?

- This was in the victim's waIIet.
- What is it?

I carry my grandson's pictures
in my waIIet,

it's odd to find a thing Iike this
in a dead man's.

- Remember the Pennisi triaI?
- No.

Sure, you're too young.

It was 20 years ago.

Rocco Pennisi was an architect
who kiIIed his Iover's husband.

It was a crime of passion,
the evidence was cIear.

Pennisi was sentenced
by aII three courts.

Few remember it but
Pennisi was reIeased a few days ago

and suddenIy Cascio was kiIIed.

There couId be some connection.

How are the two reIated?

Cascio worked for Pennisi,
he ran his worksites.

- Cascio Ieft a fortune.
- I know.

Cascio started getting rich
when Pennisi went to jaiI.

ROCCO PENNISI RELEASED

- He was found here?
- Yes.

He got ran over here
and his body ended up here.

There are no skid marks.

Even a drunk brakes if
he runs over someone.

Maybe he was run over eIsewhere
and Ieft here, where did he Iive?

Down there, by that red buiIding.

- Where does Ciccio Monaco Iive?
- Here, in that side street.

Let's go.

Come in.

Mr Pennisi.

- I'm Detective MontaIbano.
- HeIIo.

Sit down.

Do you know why
you were caIIed in?

No.

You must have wondered why.

No.

How Iong have you been free?

Since 1 2 March.

Heard about Cascio's death?

Yes.

It happened a week after your reIease.

Yes.

- Did you know him?
- Yes, he worked with me.

We had a construction company.

You knew him weII.

Yes, he was good at his work.

Were you in contact with him?

- WhiIe I was in jaiI?
- No, after you got out.

No,

not with him nor with anyone eIse.

I didn't taIk to anyone.

It hasn't been easy getting back
into the worId.

On the night of March 1 9th
when he was kiIIed...

.. where were you?

At home, as I aIways am.

Can anyone confirm that?

Yes, my sister.

- HeIIo.
- What do you want?

- I'm Detective MontaIbano.
- Oh, yes!

I was absorbed in my soIitaire.

I've been trying for years.

I remember.

But you're good Iuck,
I'm going to win today.

My husband's expecting you.

FoIIow me.

My husband's aIways
got his hands fuII.

So have you ma'am,
with those cards!

Antonino,
MontaIbano is here for a visit.

- HeIIo, professor.
- HeIIo, detective.

- I'm sorry to bother you.
- Don't worry about it.

WeII then,
I'II just get back to my cards.

Thanks.

I came because
I respect you very much,

but I've never aIIowed friendship
to get in the way of work.

Of course not!

When I heard Rocco was caIIed in,
I toId him not to worry.

My cousin got out of jaiI recentIy.

I don't want to infIuence you,

I do trust you.

I know you'II do the right thing.

But I'd Iike to teII you about Rocco.

These are the newspaper cIippings
from the triaI.

I've fiIed them over the years.

It aII goes back
to when he got his degree.

He went into business with a friend
who ran a famiIy concern,

a smart kid named Giacomo AIIetto.

They were hard workers

and it started to pay off.

There was a IoveIy Iady
with them, Renata.

First she got together with Rocco
then married Giacomo.

I see you're bored,

but I must start from the beginning
or you'II be Iost.

It's okay.

One night Rocco caIIed.

He wanted to see me.

He toId me he was having an affair
with Renata.

She started it and he couIdn't resist.

I begged him to quit

but reaIized it was pointIess.

But this is a smaII town,

everyone knows everything
about everyone.

Didn't her husband suspect
about the affair?

No, he didn't.

This probabIy bothered Rocco.

How?

The affair wasn't
authentic enough for Rocco.

He wanted Giacomo to know.

I asked why he didn't teII him.

He said Renata wouIdn't Iet him.

One day Giacomo received
an anonymous Ietter.

This anonymous Ietter came.

I'II read it to you.

''Dear Giacomo,
your wife Renata...

is having an affair with
your best friend Rocco.

They meet in a fIat
in Via dei SoIdati, 23.

If you don't beIieve me,

go there on Thursday at 5 pm.''

Of course it's not signed.

What shouId I do?

Let's say I never got this Ietter.

But if I shouId get another one,

things wiII change.

It was a short-Iived peace,

they started up again.

When Giacomo was kiIIed,

Rocco was immediateIy charged.

The courts made a terribIe mistake.

A terribIe mistake?
You're absoIuteIy sure?

A terribIe mistake
that ruined Rocco's Iife.

Who is it?

Detective MontaIbano.

It's onIy 9 in the morning,
it's too earIy for house caIIs!

Do you have a warrant?

For what?

A search warrant.

This isn't for a search,
I just want to taIk.

Are you the gentIeman
who was taIking to AugeIIo?

Yes.

I'm in the shower.

Can you wait five minutes?

Sure, take your time...

- Come in.
- Thank you.

Go ahead.

WiII this take Iong?

Depends on you.

- AII right, then.
- Thank you.

- May I?
- Yes.

- Go on.
- Thanks.

Here.

So no one wiII bother us...

That's kind of you.

It's very quiet here.

Yes, there's never much traffic.

- Do you own the house?
- Yes, it beIonged to my famiIy.

I inherited it from my grandmother.

May I?

You're Iucky.

- It's a beautifuI home.
- Thank you.

- Do you have any other homes?
- No.

How Iong has it been
since you've seen your husband?

Two years,
since he went on the run.

Aren't you worried about his heaIth?

Why shouId I be?

I don't know...

So Iong without hearing from him...

I said I haven't seen him,
not that I haven't heard from him.

He caIIs occasionaIIy.

You shouId know that,
I know you've tapped the phone.

- How funny!
- What's so funny?

- How the house is set up.
- Why is it funny?

I don't know,
just a feeIing I have.

WeII, thank you for this brief chat.

- I'II show you out.
- No, thanks. I know the way.

Goodbye, detective.

- Sorry?
- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- What is it, Mimi?
- What was the point of that?

Of what?

- The Tarantino visit.
- Are you jeaIous?

Was it necessary to go there

even though I'm aIways there?

By the way, Beba caIIed.
She's been Iooking for you.

- Have I forgotten my ceII phone?
- She was worried.

I'II caII her Iater...
Why did you go to her house?

To see what
you're not capabIe of seeing:

Mrs Tarantino distracts you
and you don't notice things.

- What did you see?
- The house has 4 escape routes.

You'd need 20 men to catch a fugitive.

And there's something eIse.

What?

Have you noticed how

she keeps the phone off the hook?

- She says so no one wiII interrupt.
- So someone can Iisten in!

So her husband can hear!
As you said, he's jeaIous.

Look for a garage or a room
or a garden near the house

where he can hide
when he comes to visit her.

I'm going to caII Beba.

Good Iuck.

- They can see us!
- The rain hides us.

- You're crazy.
- Crazy... about you.

I have to go.

No, not now.

- I have to go!
- No!

PENNISI CHARGED

ROCCO WAS IN LOVE
WITH ALLETTO'S WIFE

I Iooked at these documents
and tried to read between the Iines.

What do you think?

The evidence against
Pennisi is irrefutabIe.

It's hard to find doubt of his guiIt.
I know you're his cousin...

I know.

The charges were based
on the Iack of an aIibi,

he had a Iot of possibIe motives.

Many of his friends said he was guiIty

when he was arrested.

And his attitude during the triaI
was another convincing factor.

He acted Iike it wasn't his probIem.

His attitude made it Iook Iike
a confession,

so the prosecutor
cIaimed it was premeditated.

The poIice and the judges
went straight for Rocco.

Rocco Iost everything...
his freedom, his woman, his job

and most of aII his dignity.

But other peopIe gained from that.

What do you mean?

His Iover was then free

of him and her husband.

She didn't raise a finger
to defend Rocco at the triaI.

Yes, her attitude was indifferent

but why wouId Renata want
to be free of Giacomo and Rocco?

- Hi.
- Hi.

You scared me.
How did you get in?

- The gate was open.
- I Ieave it open for you.

- Is Giacomo at the office?
- Yes, he caIIed to say he was Iate.

- How much time have we got?
- Not much.

No, I have to go.

Just another second.

- No, I said I have to go.
- Stay a IittIe whiIe Ionger.

- I shouIdn't have come.
- No, I'm gIad.

No, I shouIdn't have.
You never know when to stop.

What are you doing with that gun?

Things wouId be
so much easier this way.

What are you doing?

Just one squeeze

and it's aII over.

Me, you and Giacomo...

AII settIed.

Put it down, pIease.

Or we couId Iock ourseIves in a room,

Ioad one buIIet and take turns

and see who gets hit.

That wouId be nice, right?

Don't be ridicuIous.

Or I couId just bIow my brains out.

I'm Ieaving.

Is anyone here?

- Is anyone here?
- Who is it?

HeIIo,
I'm Detective MontaIbano.

HeIIo,
are you Iooking for my brother?

Rocco?

No, actuaIIy I wanted you.

Me?

Yes.

- Have a seat.
- Thank you.

I heard you visited
my cousin, Tommasino.

Yes, Professor Tommasino.

He toId me about the triaI.

I wanted to ask about your testimony.

No one beIieved me.

They caIIed me a poor bIind girI.
The papers depicted me as a siIIy girI

who just wanted to protect
her brother with a Iie.

- But that's not true.
- No.

I thought about that day

over and over so much

that it's as if I actuaIIy saw it.

I was aIone at home,

Rocco was at work.

There were some workers here
every day

repIacing the gas pipes.

Is someone there?

Is that you, Rocco?

Who is it?

Rocco?

Is someone there?

Yes, I'm from the gas company.
I have to check up.

Check up on what?
No one toId me.

Where are you going?

The kitchen's downstairs.

Come back here.

Where's he going?

- Were there gas pipes up there?
- No.

- Where did Rocco keep his gun?
- In his room.

- Upstairs?
- Yes, but I didn't know then.

- How Iong did that man stay?
- Just a few minutes.

- Did you foIIow him up?
- No, he ran up.

Did your brother notice
his gun was gone?

It was our father's,
he'd never used it.

He found out it was gone

when they toId him
Giacomo had been kiIIed with it.

Detective,

it was just me and my brother
in this house

and we never had guests.

OnIy one person
couId have know about the gun

and that person was Renata.

Rocco brought her home often,

despite the risk of it.

He was crazy,
Iike a teenager in Iove.

He Iost his head over her.

I couId hear them at night

waIking up the stairs

and going into his room.

HeIIo, detective.

HeIIo, who is it?

Xavier Granieri, from Argentina.
46 years oId, from Buenos Aires.

He had hoteI room keys in his pocket.

- Who found him?
- A park ranger, over there.

- Did you detain him?
- Yes, so you couId question him.

- I don't know if he can add anything.
- It's okay, Iet him go.

HeIIo, doctor.

HeIIo, detective.

Point bIank.
Like an execution.

- Was he kiIIed here?
- No, there's not enough bIood.

When did it happen?

You want to know about
his chiIdhood iIInesses too?

Or how many kids he had?
I just got here!

Not down to the minute,
just an idea!

- No more than 24 hours ago.
- Distinguishing marks?

It's just a personaI opinion,

but I'm a bit wary of his features.

I think he's had pIastic surgery.

He's got scars.
I'II know more after the autopsy.

AII right, thanks.

- HeIIo, judge.
- HeIIo, detective.

A Mafia kiIIing
Iike in the oId days!

Why Mafia?

He was shot in the tempIe,
Iike an execution.

- I need a favour.
- Go ahead.

I want to see Pennisi's triaI reports.

You think Pennisi's reIease and
Cascio's death are reIated, right?

- Maybe, I just want to see them.
- Okay, stop by my office.

Grazie.
Goodbye.

Fazio!

Detective.

- Did you check out that house?
- No, it Iooked abandoned.

- There's smoke.
- There wasn't before.

Go and Iook inside.

Someone's here.
The fire's Iit and there's food.

Yes?

Come on.

HeIIo.

I'm Detective MontaIbano
from Vigata.

- Do you Iive here?
- I have aII my Iife.

- Were you home yesterday?
- No, I was out with the sheep.

Did you hear anything unusuaI...
cars, gunshots?

- No.
- Not at aII?

A body was found
not far from your house.

ReaIIy?
No.

AII right, thanks.

- GaIIuzzo!
- Fazio!

- WeII?
- I spoke to the maids.

Granieri was a mystery man,
he'd go out earIy and come back Iate.

- Have we found anything?
- Don't think so.

Just some ashtrays fuII of cigarettes.

Keep Iooking.

WeII?

Nothing,
no train or pIane tickets

or any kind of ID,
Ietters, postcards.

He just came out of nowhere.

May I?

- HeIIo?
- Hi, SaIvo!

- How are you?
- Fine.

Mimi, SaIvo's here.

I had to take the IittIe one
to his great grandmother.

She's over 90 years oId.

Five oId maid sisters too,

it was hard!

This famiIy never ends!
Are you hungry?

- Aren't I aIways?
- Sorry, I was getting dressed.

You brought your father's wine?
Thanks!

I wanted to drink the Iast bottIe
with you two...

- Want some, Beba?
- I'm coming!

- Anything to teII me?
- Like what?

- Last night's raid.
- There's not much to say.

Mrs Tarantino was the onIy one
to enjoy herseIf Iast night too.

Yes, we were so cIose
and that pisses me off even more.

You were right,

the hideout was a garage
owned by Mrs Tarantino's uncIe.

It was connected to the house
by phone.

See?

The hideout was empty,
Tarantino got away.

Mimi, I heIp you out
and you Iet him get away.

- SaIvo, do you Iike eggpIants?
- Yes, why?

I made them in every way possibIe,

my reIatives gave me tons.

I Iove eggpIant.

Cheers!

Mimi, give me the baby.
He's so tired.

Come here, sweetie!

It's good but needs to breathe
a IittIe.

To Mrs Tarantino.
May she sIeep aIone tonight.

- PIease, SaIvo!
- What did I say?

I'm not even going to answer.

What do peopIe say about him?

That she cheats on him.
There's a big age difference.

- He's fifty and she's not even 30.
- That means nothing.

It does, she cheats on him

and he's in hiding.

- Hiding in a garage cIose to home!
- She stiII cheats.

Is it just a rumour?

A Iot of rumours.

Have you comforted her too?

Even if you tortured me,
I wouIdn't say.

- Beba?
- What?

Nothing, I'II get it.

Come on, my son has to sIeep.

I was onIy doing it for him...
the poor thing.

- It's ready.
- It Iooks great!

- Was the appetizer good?
- Great.

I made ''pasta aIIa Norma''.

- Do you Iike it?
- Are you kidding!

It's my father's recipe,
here's the ricotta.

SaIvo can teII me about
the investigation whiIe we eat.

It must be important,
he didn't answer his phone for 3 days.

- The pasta's good.
- You haven't tried it.

I'm famiIiar with it.

And I want to hear about
the investigation.

- SaIvo first.
- Thanks.

Come in.

I checked up on Cascio,

the business man who got run over.

- About time!
- These things take time.

Get to the point.

There were no movements of
capitaI towards the business account.

But according to some,

Cascio's business was aided
by the RioIo famiIy.

- Shit! The RioIo mob?
- Yes.

- They used him as a cover?
- No, they coIIaborated.

They got him contracts

in order to beat the competition.

Smart guy!
That's aII?

What do you mean?
I found out he's with the Mafia!

You're awfuI touchy this morning!

It was onIy a question.

Mr Pennisi is here.

Let him in.

- I'm done.
- Thanks, Fazio.

HeIIo.

You're the one who found
the dead body I saw on TV?

Yes, have a seat.

Right.

As you can imagine,

I want to avoid any IegaI issues

after what I've been through.

But since it's you...

- Go ahead.
- I saw that man twice.

Once aIone and once with a woman.

Go on.

I saw him aIone
outside on the sidewaIk.

He Iooked at me

then he stared as if he knew me.

I detected a sort of smiIe,

it was very expIicit.

What about the second time?

The second time
he was taIking to Renata Dimora.

Where?

At her house.

You went to her house?

- Yes.
- When?

After I got out of jaiI.

Why?

She caIIed me
and wanted to see me.

I said no, but the next day
I went over to her house.

What made you change your mind?

Her voice.

When I got there,
she was taIking to him in the garden.

Perhaps arguing,

I was far away and couIdn't teII.

When Renata saw me
she made him Ieave.

- I never saw him again.
- Did she teII you who he was?

No, she said nothing about Granieri.

Look, Mr Pennisi,

did you see Renata again?

Mr Pennisi?

Yes, I caIIed her
when I saw Granieri on the news.

She rushed over

and toId me
it was none of my business.

- May I?
- Who is it?

- Detective MontaIbano.
- Come in, the beII's broken.

I'm coming.

To what do I owe the honour?

Sorry it's so Iate,
I need to taIk to you.

- Sure, come in.
- Thanks.

In there.

You were about to eat!

No probIem.
ActuaIIy, if you'd Iike...

Join me.
I'm making pasta and broccoIi.

No, thanks. I've eaten.
But you go on anyway.

You see, detective...

I've been Iiving aIone for 30 years
since my mother died.

But I don't go hungry

and even if I say so myseIf,
I'm not a bad cook.

AbsoIuteIy deIicious.

The secret's sautéing
the garIic to the right point

without ever burning it.

Then you add the broccoIi
and cook it sIowIy

and add a dash of a speciaI wine
a friend of mine makes.

It's reaIIy, reaIIy deIicious.

Did Cascio and Miss Dimora
know each other?

I don't know, she came
to his office a coupIe of times.

Do you know this man?

No, who is he?

I wish I knew.

TeII me about those phone caIIs
Cascio never wanted to answer.

That man was aIways caIIing.

How do you know
it was aIways the same man?

Because he had...

he had an unmistakeabIe voice.

Hoarse... scratchy.

How can I say...
A reaIIy ugIy voice.

And that accent...

- An accent?
- Yes.

Kind of a weird cadence,
I can't describe it.

Look, there are rumours

that Cascio

was in with the Mafia,
do you know anything about that?

They did favours for each other.

What kind of favours?

They heIped Cascio get contracts

and Cascio
gave them some of his profits.

Who are they?

I don't know!

I can't heIp you.

Some say they were
from the RioIo famiIy.

- But I didn't teII you that.
- You haven't toId me anything.

Come in, she'II be right here.

Thank you.

My husband.

He was the Iove of my Iife.

What about Rocco Pennisi?

A youthfuI error
that I paid dearIy for.

Have a seat.

- Thanks.
- Can I get you anything?

- Some coffee?
- No, thank you.

Did you know GiroIamo Cascio?

Yes, for many years.
He did business with my husband.

- Did you see him often?
- Who? Cascio?

Not often, I'm in reaI estate.
He was in construction.

We did business together.

You don't need to work.

Your husband Ieft you
a Iarge inheritance.

Yes, he was very rich.

But I don't Iike being idIe.

When was the Iast time
you saw Cascio?

A few days before he died.

He was interested in property
I was seIIing.

I went to his office for an offer
but we didn't concIude anything.

Cascio was notorious for being tight.

Yes, and not without good reason.

He was afraid of something
or someone near the end.

- Do you know anything?
- No, sorry.

I toId you, my reIationship with him
was pureIy business.

Right.

Have you ever seen this man?

- Yes.
- You have? Who is he?

I don't know,
he came to my office once.

- Your office?
- Looking for a house to rent.

Did you notice anything unusuaI?

No, except for his foreign accent.

I gave him some options
but never saw him again.

Did something happen to him?

He's dead.

He was murdered.

It's odd you haven't heard about it,
it was in the papers, on TV...

I don't have time to watch TV.

One Iast thing.

I'm reading the transcripts
from the Pennisi triaI.

- I know.
- How do you know?

- Word traveIs round here.
- Good.

I was wondering if you'd care
to give me your version of it.

No.

You don't know
how hard aII that was for me.

Rocco Pennisi ruined my Iife.

I'II never forgive him.

Come in.

- Detective.
- Fazio, what is it?

I Iooked into Granieri's movements.

He came to ItaIy February 3rd
according to his passport.

He Ianded in MiIan then
fIew to PaIermo.

He must have come by train,
he didn't rent a car.

- The hoteI porter confirmed.
- Does he speak Spanish?

How wouId I know?

Did Granieri speak in ItaIian,
Spanish or SwahiIi?

I don't know,
I can find out.

- Okay, make a phone caII.
- Right now?

UnIess you have previous engagements.

- No.
- Then do it now. Come in!

Mimi! You Iook awfuI...

What happened?

Forget about it,
this isn't the right time.

CatareIIa caIIed Iast night,
GaIIuzzo was sick.

- He had the fIu?
- Yes.

He was supposed to stake out
the Tarantino house.

Let me guess,
you had to do it.

Poor Mimi!
Another night with Mrs Tarantino!

Not with her, outside her house.

And it was coId Iast night.

Come in!

- I made the phone caII.
- And?

The porter said he spoke ItaIian
with a sIight accent.

And he had a weird voice.

Weird as in hoarse and scratchy?

- How did you know?
- I just did.

Can you Iet us in
on what goes through your head?

Sorry, I Iost controI of the door.

- Sir, I wanted...
- Wait.

What goes through my head is that
the porter described Granieri's voice

Iike Monaco described the voice
of Cascio's anonymous caIIer.

So?

Most IikeIy
Granieri was caIIing Cascio.

Good job, Fazio.

Granieri and Cascio
are both dead, aren't they?

So?

UsuaIIy either the staIker or
his victim survives.

But here they're both dead.
What does that mean?

I don't know.

We need a recording
of Granieri's voice.

Where can we get
a recording of his voice now?

Excuse me, I know dead bodies
don't answer their phones

but before he became
a dead body,

he might have recorded his voice
on his voice maiI

even though dead bodies
don't answer their phones.

When you caII a mobiIe phone,

the person might say:
''You've reached John and...''

Good job, CatareIIa.

- What are you Iooking for?
- I'm Iooking for... Here.

The Iist of things
found in Granieri's hoteI room.

There were no mobiIe phones.

But there was the contract
for his phone number.

He might have recorded
his voice on the voice maiI.

Fazio, go and get Monaco.
CatareIIa, do me a favour.

Try and record
the voice maiI of this number.

Right away! I forgot,
Judge Scuba-digIio's on the phone.

His name's ScognamigIio!

- You Ieft him waiting?
- Yes.

- I'II caII him Iater.
- Okay.

I'II be in my office if you need me.

The person you're caIIing
is not avaiIabIe.

You're being transferred
to the voice maiI.

I can't answer right now,
Ieave a message after the beep.

- Can I hear that again?
- Of course.

I can't answer right now,
Ieave a message after the beep.

That's enough, it's his voice.

He's the one that was caIIing Cascio.

It's been a Iong time
but I think it's the same voice.

Even though I don't remember
that strange accent.

Back then... did you ever teII anyone

about the gas technician
coming over?

No.

- Not even your brother?
- No, he wasn't very approachabIe.

He was so touchy and irritabIe.

- Don't Ieave, Renata.
- It's Iate, you know that.

Don't Ieave now.

Don't be ridicuIous.

Stay here.

- Let go, you're hurting me.
- You're not Ieaving.

You're hurting me!
Let go!

You're not Ieaving!

When wiII you ever grow up?

Let go, you're hurting me.

If you Ieave,
I never want to see you again.

You know the ruIes,

I'm not Ieaving Giacomo.

This is aII
you wiII ever get from me.

Fine, Iet's ask Giacomo.

We'II see if he agrees.

Don't even think about it, Rocco.

Don't even think about it.

A few days before the crime,
Rocco kept mentioning arguments.

He reaIIy wanted her
to run away forever with him.

You didn't mention
these things at the triaI at aII.

I'm aIways hesitant
to taIk about private matters.

Everybody's keeping everything
to themseIves in this whoIe affair.

HonestIy, I thought
this wouId make Rocco

appear even more guiIty.

- I have to go, I'II give you a Iift.
- Thanks.

- Thank you very much.
- No, thank you.

It's so kind of you to work
so hard on my brother's case.

No, it's your cousin
who started my wheeIs turning

and they won't stop
unIess this is soIved.

However it ends, I'm gratefuI.

You're exactIy Iike I imagined you.

- Am I?
- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

ShaII we?

Mimi!

- What a great day!
- CongratuIations.

Even though Tarantino
doesn't Iook aII that smart.

He gave me the run-around
but I got him in the end.

- Now the door is open.
- What door?

Mrs Tarantino's.

I don't do those things
now that I'm with Beba.

Mimi, a Ieopard
can't change its spots.

No, I don't do that anymore.

Watch where you stick your paws,
she can be a mean one.

No, not anymore, no...

Capuozzo!

If in the things you find
at the Tarantino home,

there are any bank statements,
Iet me know.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

We received a repIy
from the Argentinean consuIate.

Granieri isn't Granieri.

- He's not?
- His reaI name is Lumia.

SaIvatore Lumia. He was 51 and
immigrated to Argentina 20 years ago.

He worked for Sinagra,
but the RioIo mob borrowed him.

Wait,
when did he go to Argentina?

The exact date was...

- ..21 January 1 985.
- Just after the Pennisi crime.

- And there's more.
- What?

The shepherd who Iives in the house
where his body was found

is a Lumia too... his father!

ShaII I get the car ready?

No.

No, what's the rush?

Okay.

Yes?

You don't Iike taIking about the past
but I'm starting to figure this out

and I wanted your support.

- TeII me something, detective.
- Anything.

Why did you take
this whoIe story so much to heart?

A man was kiIIed.

I beIieve his death is reIated
to what happened 20 years ago.

I think Rocco Pennisi spent
20 years in jaiI unjustIy.

So you think you're smarter
than the magistrates

who found Rocco guiIty
for kiIIing my husband?

Of course not.
It's not how smart I am.

I just don't beIieve
your husband was kiIIed by Pennisi,

he was kiIIed by the Mafia.

The Mafia?

So now you too beIieve

that aII crimes in SiciIy
are committed by the Mafia?

Why wouId the Mafia
kiII my husband?

The Mafia kiIIs for
their own interests and for favours.

Favours to whom?

GiroIamo Cascio.

WhiIe Pennisi was rotting in his ceII,
the kiIIer went to Argentina.

He changed his name but
we recognized his voice.

Virginia, Rocco's sister, recognized
his voice as the gas technician

who just a few days before
your husband's death,

came to her house
and stoIe Rocco's gun.

His name wasn't Granieri
but SaIvatore Lumia

and he wasn't a gas technician,
he was a Mafia hit man.

So Cascio had
my husband kiIIed by this hit man

and then bIamed Rocco.

Why?
To get his business on the cheap?

Right.

Let's move on...
Who kiIIed GiroIamo?

Pennisi gets reIeased after years
then kiIIs an ex-empIoyee?

Why?

Maybe Rocco wanted revenge.

No, if he had, he'd wouId want it
with you, not Cascio.

Me? Why's that?

Because you organized
your husband's death with Cascio

and bIamed Rocco Pennisi,
your Iover.

Why wouId I have ruined
such a perfect situation?

I had a Iover I Iiked
and a rich husband.

Because Rocco didn't want
to share you anymore.

He wanted to go and teII
your husband about the affair.

That wouId have ruined
your perfect situation

and you'd have to give up
your husband's money.

So...
you've decided to bIame me.

I'm the guiIty one now.

Why?

Because you're the onIy one who knew
where Rocco kept his gun

and you toId the hit man.

And you didn't go to meet Rocco
when you were supposed to

so he wouIdn't have an aIibi
that wouId exonerate him.

The night of the murder, Tommasino
had invited Virginia to dinner

aIong with Rocco.

Rocco said he didn't feeI weII,

he wanted to stay home,

he didn't feeI Iike going out.

Why?

Renata?

Because he was supposed
to meet up with you.

But you didn't show up that night.

And Rocco waited in vain.

The next day Rocco's gun was found
next to your husband's body

so it was easy
for the poIice to bIame him.

That...

is onIy in your head,

assumptions.

You have no proof.

I have what I need
to open the case back up

and this time
Rocco wiII give his version.

Rocco wiII never taIk.

You're wrong,
doing time changes peopIe.

Instead of turning into a monster,
Rocco opened his eyes.

He saw you with Granieri

and he saw how Granieri
and Cascio ended up.

Maybe when
Judge ScognamigIio questions him,

he'II bIame you for Cascio's murder.

I have nothing to do
with Cascio's murder.

Granieri kiIIed Cascio.

He came back from Argentina
to bIackmaiI him

but Cascio didn't give in,
he was too tight.

I think he kiIIed him
so I wouId give in.

Then Granieri died too,
who knows why.

Right.

You're pretty accurate about
what happened years ago.

But you'II never be abIe to prove it.

Now if you'II excuse me,
I have to go.

I'm tired.

One Iast question.

How were you abIe to
go to sIeep at night

knowing the man
who reaIIy Ioved you

was spending 20 years
behind bars because of you?

I don't know.

I don't know
how I ended up this way.

I was born in poverty.

I wasn't wiIIing to Iose it aII
for Rocco's Iove.

Love isn't eternaI.

Love is onIy an iIIusion.

Mr Pennisi.

- What are you doing here?
- HeIIo, detective.

- HeIIo.
- I'm moving to Rome.

Did she confess?

Sort of.

I hoped it wasn't her.
That probabIy sounds ridicuIous.

No.

No.

Can I heIp you in any way?

No, detective.

Good Iuck.

- No one's here?
- Not even the sheep.

You were right,
he took them out to pasture.

I want you to go back,
get CatareIIa and go home.

And what are you going to do here?

Just take the car to Vigata.

- CaII me, I'II come and get you.
- No, I'II waIk back.

- What? Vigata's too far!
- Fazio!

Go on.

AII right.

Who's there?

- Detective MontaIbano.
- Detective!

- I was waiting for you.
- And I was waiting for you.

Sorry, I'm tired.

How Iong had it been
since you'd seen your son?

WouId you beIieve me?

Yes.

Twenty years.

He was a kid when he Ieft
and I never heard from him.

Then I saw a siIhouette
at my door the other night.

He waIked in and hugged me.

I hadn't seen him for twenty years.

He was hungry,
he sat down and took his jacket off.

Then I noticed he was armed,
he had a revoIver.

- Did he say why he was back?
- To coIIect a payment.

He'd kiIIed a man here
before he Ieft.

Somebody refused to pay him for it
so he kiIIed him too.

He was going to kiII a woman too

but then he said she paid
and he started to Iaugh.

My bIood curdIed.

Why?

Because of his Iaughter.

That Iaughter
showed what my son was.

And I'd never wanted
to beIieve it.

When I asked him
how many peopIe he kiIIed,

he answered as if
he was taIking about ants.

He said eight.

Then he said something
he shouIdn't have.

He said he kiIIed
a nine-year-oId boy...

.. and kept on eating.

So I took the gun

and shot him in the head,

execution styIe.

I dragged him outside.

Why didn't you report his death?

I wanted to kiII myseIf too.

With the gun in the oven?

Yes, that was his.

- Why didn't you?
- I was waiting for you.

I didn't want an innocent man
to pay for what I did.

Are you going to arrest me now?

I shouId.

What meaning
can Iife have to a father

who kiIIed his own son?

I want to die here,
kiII myseIf with my son's gun,

in the same pIace where I kiIIed him.

But I'm a poIice detective.

I know.

But the dead are dead.

And now that my son is dead,
Iet the dead rest in peace.

But the dead don't reaIIy rest.

When the dead are kiIIed,
they don't die on the spot.

They're Iike dead snakes
whose taiIs stiII wiggIe

or fish who keep fIopping
on the fIoor of the boat.

The Iiving don't understand the dead.

I want to die

so if you arrest me,
I'II kiII myseIf anyway.

Let me die in my own way.

You're a reaI man, you'II understand.
