Cettina, where are you going? Get inside right now! Go!

Cettina!

But what was that?

Sorry, Mr. Inspector.

(sotto voce) I wanted to tell you that...

If it is urgent, let them pass. - Stand up and follow me.

No discussion. - Perverts like you deserve confinement.

[LOCK CLICK] Duke Marangolo, what are you doing here?

You are making a serious mistake. - This is a confidential meeting.

But who is this?

Young man.

I am one capable of removing you from office on the spot.

Duke, no one is questioning your authority, but it is a matter of...

This accusation levelled against Baron of Malomonte is completely unfounded.

"Baron" who? - Bravo.

I congratulate you on the completeness of your information.

It's all documented, sir.

I guarantee that Commissioner Ricciardi as well as Baron of Malomonte

Is not guilty of homosexuality.

We have evidence, detailed reports.

Then you force me to ask

to Countess Bianca Palmieri of Roccaspina to tell you why she is here.

Commissioner Ricciardi and I have a relationship.

This is impossible.

Your meetings have taken place in the last few days... - So?

It is evident that your perfect surveillance network has flaws.

Bianca, all of this is not necessary, leave it alone.

I am not afraid for me. - How long has this relationship lasted?

Many months now And I'm tired of hiding it.

What about the lady, the other one? The one who made the accusation?

Ricciardi's rejection is due to the instinct of self-preservation.

He knows very well that if I found out such a thing...

adapted.

I would gouge out his eyes with my hands.

I know who you are, the wife of that murderer.

Your word is worthless.

You are also guilty Of concubinage. - What about you?

Huh? Little idiot?

How dare you?

If you dare to offend again the countess

and you insist with your ridiculous accusations

How true is God, you will end up very badly.

Bianca, I really don't know what to say.

You have been... - Now that we have a relationship...

We can also call each other by name, don't you think so? - Sure.

Then you realize that you have endangered your reputation

for a stranger?

You are not a stranger, but...

I would be lying if I said I did it just for you.

I thought a lot about Romualdo. He ruined himself, but for love.

So much suffering For a moment of happiness.

Perhaps now I can return to life.

Thank you, Bianca, really from the bottom of my heart.

I hope we will see each other again.

Ricciardi. Of course we will see each other again.

We are a couple, have you forgotten already?

Then they will want to verify that we have a relationship for real.

It will certainly not be torture hanging out with you.

I am pleased.

Also because tomorrow

Marangolo will get us invitations for his circle.

For our official entry into society.

Tomorrow.

Mine was an outburst, words spoken in a moment of discouragement

of which you have taken advantage for your own interests!

With what courage are you here

after trying to besmirch a man to whom I am attached?

Apart from the pleasure of seeing you again? - Don't be insolent.

Because of you, I cannot mend fences

With the person I care about most.

In fact, given your interest in the person in question

I am here to satisfy your curiosities.

What do you mean?

The misunderstanding that led to the indictment against Ricciardi

helped us discover a romantic relationship of his own.

A relationship? And with whom?

He is not with the person you suspected.

Tell me who it is.

Countess Bianca Palmieri of Roccaspina.

What else do you know?

The countess is married to Count Romualdo.

He is currently detained, a confessed murderer.

Do you know her?

Is she a beautiful woman?

Very beautiful.

What is it? - Nothing.

You came out of the bathroom And it looks like you have something to tell me.

If you would give me the grace to speak... - The fact is.

For the past two days I feel like I have less money in my pocket

Than I could remember having. - Ah. I didn't get them, eh.

Please don't mention it, that's all right. - Is there a "though"?

I wouldn't want that someone had taken them.

John?

You do one thing.

Try to understand something, eh? - Mm.

With discretion, diplomacy, as you know.

Lucia, investigate.

Good morning. - Good morning.

Hey! What are you doing here? - Brigadier! - What do you want?

Bambinella urgently needs to talk to you! - "Urgent"!

"It's a matter of life and death." so he said. - All right.

Go home and be good, go.

Brigadier. - What do you want?

Rascal!

I brought the money, didn't I? Now what do you want?

Are you sure that this money you stole it? - Eh! - Why?

Where you said you stole them no one says anything.

There are no rumors. - It's not that you stole them in your house?

You didn't have the courage to steal them? - Here no one talks because they are afraid.

About you?

Then come with us tomorrow.

We have a place to steal, so you show us how capable you are.

Do you understand, Giovanni? - Let's go.

What is it, brigadier?

Little girl!

Little girl!

Little girl! - I stay here.

"Here" where? I don't see you. - Here.

Do you think it's time to play hide-and-seek?

According to you, I have nothing to do? What, are you sick? What do you want?

I want to die! - Let me understand something.

You made me call and make the staircase with my heart in my throat

To tell me you want to die? Little girl, you were wrong.

You don't want to die, you have to die.

Thank you for coming. - What did you do?

Are you sick? - Yes, but not for me. - Eh.

I'll make you feel bad, if you don't say it happened. Go ahead.

You should know that.

My fiancé you know him.

His name is Donadio Gustavo, known as "the Slut."

It's a whole program! I know him.

I had the honor of arresting him several times as a ruffian.

Let me understand, the Slut is engaged to you?

I opened new horizons for him. - I don't want to know!

Come to the point. - Gustavo mio is in mortal danger.

He is a fence in the area of Pascalone "'u Lione."

He is a fox! Pascalone kills him. - What did I say?

They don't know that Gustavo turns the economy around.

Pascalone and the Lombardi family have given him an appointment

At the masseria at Red Bridges.

They tear it apart. - I said, But he necessarily wants to go.

What do you want from me? What should I do? - Gustavo is married, has two children.

His wife after jail time Turned her face away from him.

He doesn't want the children to grow up with a jailbird daddy, and he suffers.

Then he got engaged to you. - Brigadier.

Convince him not to go. - Are you crazy?

I'm going to talk to the Slut? No way. - Brigadier.

I have only you.

They all look up to you. - Just because we are together.

Or they don't know that these jewels Marangolo gave them to me on purpose.

They all fear him, but only because they do not know his goodness of heart.

Of that I had personal evidence actually.

Bianca, I am very sorry about the act that you are forced to do.

No, I am happy about it.

You don't know how much.

How did it go then, well? - Yes.

Look, but... since we are now lovers...

why don't you tell me something about yourself?

What do you want to know?

What you want, what you feel to tell me.

Unfortunately, I can only tell you disappointing and somewhat silly things.

I suffer from migraines, eat little.

I'll make it work for me.

Vincenzo, look at this. - No! - Photo. - A smile!

Sure, did you like it? - Yes. - I did too, very much.

In my opinion, it's him. - It's true. - It's Vincenzo Sannino, I recognize him.

That sounds like him. - Cettina.

Cettina, I am embarking for America Before they call me back to the front.

Look at me, I am not afraid of war.

I am afraid of the time I lose behind the war.

Then stay here, hide.

I have to make a position for myself, my love, I must deserve you.

If you don't come back then? - Even if I die, I come back to you.

I love you, you know.

I want a family, children. - That's why I'm going to America.

You just have to wait for me.

I told you I was coming back. I told you so.

Why didn't you wait for me? - What are you looking for from my wife?

Come outside with me, I'll explain it to you right now. - Let's go. - No!

Let's go! - No!

Never mind, he is a boxer. - So what? Should I be scared?

Shall we go? - No, Costantino! Constantine, please, let's go.

Constantine, let's go away!

(in English) All right? (in English) Yes? (in English) Yes.

[INDISTINCT HUBBUB]

It was found by a merchant on his way to open the store.

Your Excellency, forgive me. - That's him. - Good morning.

I found the body this morning. - Have you noticed strange things?

Movements, people? - No, it was still deserted here.

The problem is that the body is right in front of my store.

If it doesn't move, how can I work?

If you let us pass, we will hurry.

Make yourself this way, come on!

How come nobody has heard anything?

Please, sir, let us work.

(You! You again!)

(Another time you!)

(You again!)

You! You again!

You again!

(You again!)

Maione. - Commissioner, say.

They dragged him all the way here.

Then here maybe... Is where they ended it.

Mom, would you also like some coffee?

I don't understand how you can be so calm.

He came here, you went out together.

How is it possible That he has not yet declared himself?

Eh... Everything in its own time. - Yes.

Time passes and things take nothing to change.

No, Enrica, you have to get get busy! Take action, move!

Invite him, do ' something, to mom! Do you understand me?

Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning. - You're welcome. - Eh.

So.

For now... I can only tell you that the murder took place

Between five and six o'clock this morning And they beat him to death.

He has been given a lot, he has a strong constitution.

I don't know. A robbery? - No, I don't think so.

He is still wearing the gold watch. Raphael, let me see.

An officer found him in his coat pocket

the wallet with the documents and 70,000 lira.

However! - So much money That no one has touched.

Listen, Ricciardi, what was the name of this poor man?

Constantine Irace.

(in Neapolitan) I got tired! Always the same complaints!

Did you want to talk to me? Tell me. - Away from prying ears.

In a few days it's your birthday.

We will have a little party and...

Do you want to invite someone?

I will invite Manfred.

If I want a family And I want it...

I cannot afford any more hesitation.

Then I will make everyone happy.

Have you told Manfred yet?

I'm going to tell them. With permission.

See you later, my daughter.

Good morning. - Good morning, Ms. Irace?

Right foreground. - Thank you. - Thank you.

Constantine.

Oh my God, Constantine.

How do I do? How do I?

Madam, forgive me.

Pardon, do you know where he was headed, when it came out?

I just knew it had to come out.

He said, "Don't wake up."

"I have to leave very early."

He, we-we are merchants, we have a fabric store.

Irace and Taliercio, I don't know if you know him.

We are in the Umberto Gallery.

Cettina. - Guido.

Cettina mia, what a tragedy! I just heard from the doorman.

Our poor Constantine.

Who are you? - Lawyer Guido Capone, a cousin of the lady.

I live upstairs.

Commissioner Ricciardi, this is Brigadier Maione.

Commissioner, I understand your needs.

You must understand that now my cousin is not able to answer

To your albeit due questions. - Certainly.

We are waiting for you at the Commissariat for when you feel up to it.

Unfortunately, counsel, it is necessary to recognize the body of the victim.

I will take care of it as soon as possible.

(In Cilentano) Yes, I know, the tomatoes are not the right ones.

I also miss a lot of things.

Why do you miss so many things?

Why? - Because you want to go to the market.

That one doesn't enchant me anyway.

Then I thank you For the walk and the flowers.

Enrica, for that reception you really don't want to reconsider?

Are you sending me alone?

I thank you, but I am not suited for high society receptions.

I would feel uncomfortable And I would be a burden to you as well.

[SPEAKS IN GERMAN].

Huh? - I would be proud... to have you beside me

When I show up in front of everyone.

You will have to give me time to get used to a more worldly lifestyle.

Whatever.

[INDISTINCT HUBBUB]

Three pounds, is that okay? - Yes. - Do you want the smells?

- Sarracino, will you give them to me yes or no? - Yes, keep.

Don't you want the money? - Hey.

I would like to know what I have done to you of evil. - Nothing, why?

Why? You never serve yourselves from me. You seem to do it on purpose.

So? - "He who wants too much, nothing holds."

Donna Rosa, do you have any basil?

Gustavo, I know you are here.

Open, Gustavo.

If you use the same hiding place for ten years, then it is a domicile.

This hiding place is known only you. - Please!

Thank Bambinella that I'm here. What have you been doing? - Nothing.

I wanted to place goods. - Stolen. - Heh.

Borgo degli Orefici. - Heh. - Which is Lombardi's area. - Eh.

Then it is certified. - What? - That you are such an asshole.

I'm going to Pascalone now. - How not?

That makes you the end of the "sluts."

So I only pay, not my family and not even Bambinella.

If I run away, Pascalone takes it out on them.

I, on the other hand, prefer to die with blows.

I have already been to the hospital for recognition.

Unfortunately, it is him, it is Constantine.

I hoped to the last That it wasn't him.

Ma'am.

This morning, when we talked to each other.

you told me that your husband left home very early.

Do you know where he was headed? - He had to conclude a business deal.

There was merchandise, fine fabrics...

Who came by ship from Scotland.

He who wanted to do, buy them right away?

Constantine always does this.

Did.

How bad it is to say "did."

Courage, I will not detain you much longer.

The fact is that your husband had with him a large amount of cash.

Had he told you about it?

He talked about a big deal, but I don't know how much money it was.

He put them in his pocket... - Constantine was always skillful.

To burn out the competition, he would pay upfront and in cash.

A robbery is to be ruled out, because the money was left there.

It could not have been a robbery attempt.

The culprit can only be only Vincenzo Sannino. - Excuse me?

Don't you know what happened the other night at the movie theater?

I told you to stay home and rest. - Sorry.

We were saying, Vincenzo Sannino... Is very famous as a boxer.

In America they called him "the Snake" because he was fast.

Left hook, always dry, always the same.

Why do you say "they called him"?

About a year ago with the hook left hook he killed an opponent.

It electrocuted him.

He decided to retire and not to fight anymore.

This seems to me to be a decision more than understandable. - Heh.

But not for those gentlemen there.

You know how it is, first you become national pride

Then you retire because you killed a negro opponent...

From pride... - To national "scorn."

Let's go talk to the Snake.

Let's first drop by the store of the victim. - Ricciardi!

Just you I was looking for. - Doctor.

I understand that you are working on the Irace case.

Yes, we were just going out for the investigation. - Good, very good.

It is a case that has caused a stir, but it is also easy to solve.

Do you say? - I say yes.

Sannino the boxer, if we want to call him that...

Has disgraced Italy By being a coward.

He made threats in public to the victim. - So? - So.

I expect a logical solution and very quick resolution of the case.

Clear? And now go.

Was he already dead? - Yes, poor fellow. - I heard this morning.

How do they do it now? - I don't know.

Make way, please! Make way, please.

For the curtains... - Taliercio, good morning!

Commissioner Ricciardi, Brigadier Maione.

We should ask you some questions. - Good morning. - Good morning.

I'll be back tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

I close the store, so we are more peaceful. - You're welcome.

Sorry, I wanted to close the store, but you saw, there are so many people.

So you were Costantino Irace's partner?

The partner, but especially the brother-in-law.

Constantine married my sister Concetta.

My poor Concetta, she will be destroyed.

I didn't have time to go and console her.

Have you seen the crowd out here? - Forgive the intrusion.

Were you on good terms with the victim?

I told you, Constantine was like a brother to me.

When he married my sister he raised the store.

He was previously a trader of fruits and vegetables.

He had intuition for the trade, so we got together.

Think the store next door, these Merolla

before Constantine and Cettina were married

They wanted to buy our store. We turned the fortunes around.

Now they are "in bad water." - Taliercio.

This store runs in the family. - Yes. I am the third generation.

My grandfather had a stall with ties on Rome Street and now...

What we are interested in knowing Is this. - Yes.

Did you know that today your brother-in-law left the house very early

With a large sum of money? - Of course. We were like brothers.

I said to him: "I'll accompany you so you don't go alone."

But nothing! Constantine had a hard head.

He could hear no one and was not afraid of anything.

Excuse me, but how come did he have so much money on him?

Business is not done through the bank? - You are right.

Constantine wanted to act immediately and quickly by paying in cash.

So we abolish competition.

Here in the neighborhood, as you know. - Did anyone other than you know

that Constantine was walking around with this large sum of money?

I don't know and I don't know Constantine Who he told, I don't think anybody.

Surely in order to get the deal done there was a middleman.

I can guarantee you that. - Who is he? - His name is Nicola Martuscelli.

He has the office at Pier 15. - I thank you. - Thank you.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, if I may. - Taliercio, speak, tell us.

The truth is that here you know who has did the "badly" to my brother-in-law.

I bet it's about Vincenzo Sannino the boxer.

Jealousy, jealousy.

He was in love with my sister. He wanted to take her away from Constantine.

Thank you. Please remain available. - Thank you.

If you need anything, I'm here. - Goodbye. - Have a good day.

To you.

Who is next? Have a seat.

Ah...

[BELL]

Do they wish? - Brigadier Maione, this is Commissioner Ricciardi.

We need to talk with Vincenzo Sannino.

Sorry, but he cannot be disturbed.

Maybe the situation is not clear. - I am sorry, but it is not up to me.

These are dispositions of Miss Penny Wright.

Who is it? (American accent) Good morning.

I'm Penny Wright, the secretary of Mr. Sannino. - Good morning.

As you may have guessed, I need to talk with your attendant.

I know, but at the moment is unavailable. - Very good.

I will be forced to summon him to the police station

By having it picked up here at the hotel.

You embarrass me, I would not know how to help you.

(American accent) Can I be of any help?

I am the manager of Mister Sannino, Jack Biasin.

Forgive me, why is it so difficult to talk to Sannino?

First the young lady, then you...

Suggest that he has something to fear or hide. - They are here.

Forgive me, if I have kept you waiting.

As you can see. I am not in perfect shape.

Please follow me.

Sannino, I need to know where you spent last night

All night until dawn.

He slept with me. - Yes, I confirm.

We were together at night. (in English) Shut up!

We went to the cinematograph, but you already know that, don't you?

Exactly what about after that?

Commissioner, the truth is that I got drunk.

I don't remember anything about last night.

In short, this guy shows up, right?

He had nothing, that is, he had a small cut on his chin.

Hogwash, nonsense.

This one claims to pass before others.

I had to treat him first, you know? That is.

Why do you think? Because he was wearing a black shirt.

They are all like that, overbearing, imbeciles.

You be careful in here, though.

Don't say these things with other customers.

I don't take that risk.

Bravo.

As well because I have no other clients.

What does it mean?

Madame became furious.

But I made up my mind.

I receive only you.

You have accustomed me too well.

To kindness, to respect.

It's your fault.

I, however, do not want to.

It is not worth it.

I don't understand.

He comes here to invite you to a reception and you refuse?

Mom, I didn't feel like it.

She didn't feel like it! She felt like taking a walk and go home!

Good thing that he comes on your birthday

so he declares himself and ends this "sperpetuo"!

Commissioner, Nicola Martuscelli. Irace's deal broker.

Sure, good evening. - Good evening. - I'm Commissioner Ricciardi.

Convenient, convenient. - Thank you.

So, tell me what happened. - Yes, commissioner.

This morning at dawn I was waiting for poor Irace

To close a deal.

He, as you know, did not arrive.

Yeah, we know that.

Tell us, though, did Irace use you often as his intermediary?

For his business, I say. - No.

In fact, if I have to be honest, I work a lot more with Merolla.

He would be Irace's competitor.

He has the store next door to Irace's. - Sure.

How come instead of Merolla now. - Business is business.

Merolla is a good person.

In fact, his bid for the fabric was even higher.

Irace put on the plate cash money.

He would pay immediately upon loading.

I could not refuse to give him a hand, even if...

Say, say. "Even if"?

Adjudicating the fabric lot, Irace put all

In the condition to close, Merolla included.

I understand. Sit down.

Did Merolla know about your appointment this morning?

I can't say that, I just don't know. - Mmm.

We need to go and talk with this Merolla guy. - You are right.

As a competitor of Irace, he has his own good reasons for...

I apologize for the inconvenience, commissioner.

After this morning's meeting, I need to clarify a few things. - Sure.

Follow up.

Have you then been to the land registry? - Yes, I have already made the request.

Please tell me. - Vinnie drank a lot yesterday.

Therefore, he threatened that man, but it doesn't mean he killed him.

You told me That you slept together.

I am the personal secretary of Vinnie... Vincenzo.

We have a relationship... "free." if you can call it that.

You have a foreign accent, but you speak Italian very well.

My mother was from Frosinone, then she emigrated... - Miss.

Did you spend the whole night with Vincenzo?

After the evening in the cinematograph

we went to a club. Vincenzo, Jack and me.

Vinnie continued to drink.

He said he wanted to walk to sober up.

I went back to the hotel, I was tired. Jack went with him.

When I woke up, there was Vinnie by my side sleeping.

He was still dressed.

What time did you wake up? - Around 7:00, 7:30.

I didn't check the clock, but there was light in the room.

And Jack stayed with him the whole time?

I think so, we haven't had a chance to talk.

The marks that Vincenzo has on his hands how do you explain them?

I don't know.

He must have quarreled with someone Or punched the wall.

I am sure of his innocence.

Vinnie has been a boxer, but he is not bad.

After the last meeting, donated the compensation

To the wife of the boxer who unfortunately died.

He is a good man.

His weak side is that woman, Cettina.

The victim's wife? - He returned to Italy for her.

That's no reason to kill her husband, for someone like Vinnie.

Thank you, miss.

Shall we accompany you to the exit? - Thank you. - You are welcome.

How is it, good? - Yes. - Very good.

Hawk, by now you visit me unannounced.

I apologize, but I have new information about Colombo Enrica

Who lives across the street from To-who do you know.

What information? - Hangs out with Major Manfred von Brauchitsch.

I get it. Why should the thing should interest me?

Von Brauchitsch is in Naples

as cultural attaché at the Consulate of Germany.

In our opinion and our feeling is shared in Rome

his real mission is to observe and study

certain military facilities, especially the port.

A spy? I would never have believed it.

I don't understand why you are giving me this information.

The intelligence and charm of a woman like you can be

a passe-partout for accessing to the confidences of any man.

After all, Livia, it would just be one more date.

You should not delve too deeply into it.

Why should I lend myself to this game?

To render service to the homeland.

And also because.

Von Brauchitsch will attend a reception

to which they also invited your commissioner with his countess.

Do you understand why we are here?

Time for those who are at work, Of those who are shopping.

The houses are empty, there are three safe ones.

You stop here and see if anyone. If there is danger, whistle.

Can you blow the whistle?

[WEAK WHISTLE]

[LOUD WHISTLE]

This is a whistle.

Commissioner, I swear to you.

I would give an award to the person who killed him.

Irace was an improper trader, everyone knew it.

I had gone so far as to offer 87,000 lira for those fabrics

But he paid in cash.

Less, but cash.

So he ruined me.

He has ruined other traders with his unfair methods...

You can make up for it now, though, aren't you happy?

I know, I understand, one should not talk like that about a dead person.

I'll have to close it anyway. The deal with the Scots will be done by the brother-in-law.

Michelangelo Taliercio. - Exactly.

They the money available they have it.

I am reduced to failure.

Me and my daughters.

Merolla, where were you, on the morning of the murder?

I left the house around 6:30.

This can be confirmed to you my daughters.

I came here to open the store.

There is always hope, isn't there?

Everyone has seen me, they can confirm, it's not that...

Come on, let's escape!

Let me see.

Put. - Uha! - Bravo.

This one to you. - Handsome.

Sasà. No! Here.

Oh! - Don't be a fool! - Here. - Just this one?

All right?

This one...

That's your part. - It's okay.

Let's go. - Bye. - Take care.

Ricciardi.

I will inform you...

That I had a fiery phone call with the head of the police headquarters.

In turn, he received "an earful" from the ministry.

About what? - And you ask?

That boxer, that coward now known to all.

Should I arrest him?

Or would you rather pass the case to De Blasio

so you can continue "twiddling your thumbs"?

Certainly not, it will be done. - It will be better.

Camarda! Where is it? - I'm here. - Let's go.

If the investigation goes to De Blasio, it's over. - What do we do?

Shall we go and arrest Sannino? - Yes.

First I want to check a couple of things.

Are you sure that I don't have to call my cousin?

He said to speak to you only in his presence.

We really need very little information. - All right.

So. you were telling us?

Yes, the serenade.

I couldn't believe it was Vincenzo, that he was really back.

About the serenade did your husband notice?

Indeed, woke up the whole building.

I loved Vincenzo, but we were two kids.

When my husband looked out

I told him that I didn't know who was doing that serenade.

Constantine had recognized him, I-I could no longer pretend.

Sannino has returned from America for you?

Yes.

He had sworn it to me.

But many years passed. Then Constantine came along.

The family store he saved it.

My brother I don't know how he would have done it.

Constantine always helped him.

The wife is sick, she needs very expensive treatment.

Mrs. Irace, do you think it was Sannino?

I don't know what went through his mind.

But the Vincenzo I know...

Is not a murderer.

Even now, the times I've seen it...

He does not have bad eyes.

He has only so much pain.

I had it put that way to make understand the dynamics of the action.

There is no doubt That the body was dragged.

If you see here, the fabrics are abraded.

See here? It is only abraded in the center, though.

What does that mean? - That there were two of them.

Exactly, so one is a commissioner and one is not.

One was holding him by the arms, in fact the sleeves are intact.

Another one, evidently, was holding him by the feet.

The back of the shoes and the lower part of the pants

Are intact.

Otherwise, the necropsy examination confirms the outcome of a "bunching."

Starting from the head, bruising to the face

lacerations in the region of the nose and mouth

fracture of the teeth and blood loss.

Then rib fracture, rupture of the spleen

And pouring into the peritoneum. - Poor Christian!

It didn't end there, he had quite a collection.

Fracture of the right femur and bruised left femur.

In my opinion, first he received a strong blow from behind the legs

To bring him down, though...

The thing that killed him was a sharp blow to his right temple.

Left hook. - It could be a left hook.

Bravo, you even understand boxing.

You are making a mistake, commissioner.

Vinnie spent the night with the secretary. - No, actually.

The young lady admitted that she had found it in bed when she woke up.

Too many clues incriminate him.

What explanation do you have for the stains of blood or the wounds on the hands?

While we were walking, they tried to rob us.

There were three or four of them, we punched them and they ran away.

That's why Vinnie was in that condition.

Then we came back here.

I assure you I left it

in front of the door of Penny's room that night.

But I did not enter.

As soon as you went to your room, I went out. - To go where?

Who knows, commissioner? I was so drunk that...

[SPEAKS IN ENGLISH]

Here anyway everyone wants my arrest.

In my house I am a coward to everyone.

So let's make them happy.

Let's go. No, you don't need to.

"Goodbye, Mr. Biasin."

Commissioner.

May I ask you a courtesy?

A walk, just a walk.

Before you end up in a cell. - I don't think it's appropriate... - Maione.

Come.

You know, commissioner? I basically lived two lives.

One in America, with boxing, fame.

The other one stayed here...

near the sea...

And to Cettina.

You just haven't been able to forget it.

Do you see that cliff?

Cettina and I used to come right here.

She wanted "The Nameless Serenade."

That's what he called it.

I sang it that night under his house.

I sang my torment to her, For she is no longer mine.

Cettina is me, though, commissioner.

It's every beat of my heart.

Every breath.

There has not been a single night In which it did not come to me in a dream.

Maybe I dreamed it while drunk.

I'm not sure. - What do you mean?

I remember that I dreamed That I went under his house.

In the dream, I could see the husband leaving the house.

So I went up.

It was all so real.

Too bad it was only a dream.

We have to go now, Sannino.

[MUSIC FROM THE TURNTABLE]

There is no point in denying it.

Everything about you says that.

Your face, your look.

Even how you listen to music.

The way you were moving, it seemed you wanted to tell the whole world...

That you fell in love.

If you want to deny it

To not give me a pain...

Well, you're wrong.

To know that you are happy is a joy to me...

That surpasses even self-love

Or this ridiculous jealousy

Of an old man in love.

He is already forced to see me to make a scene.

I don't want to impose anything else on him.

Love is still a burden That you then have to bear.

Your words confirm all love I feel for you, but...

Don't give up, Bianca.

If you are really in love.

Bianca! What a pleasure to see you after so long!

It is a pleasure for me as well.

He is the baron of Malomonte, if I'm not mistaken? - To serve you.

I knew your father. - That's not possible, marquise.

You are too young.

Will I see you again later?

Congratulations on a wonderful party.

Good evening, countess. - Good evening. - Good evening.

[INDISTINCT HUBBUB]

Please take me away. - We're there now.

I know that among the guests there are incognito the people

Who instructed against you that ridiculous trial.

You are welcome, gentlemen. - Thank you.

It is good for them to take notice of us.

Do you know that...

Ah, is there anything I need to know?

Now I'm going to tell you.

Little girl, are you there?

Little girl!

Little girl! (crying) Yes, brigadier, I'm staying here.

I'm leaving right now, I just came to tell you

That I talked to your friend, But he has a hard head.

He necessarily wants to go to meet...

Little girl, what have you been up to?

I convinced him not to go.

And he made you like this? - What are you going to think?

Gustavo really loves me.

And that's fine.

You look pretty even like this.

"Damn your head."

Look what you've done.

Does it hurt? - A little.

A little patience, slowly... it will pass.

Is it possible to know who did it?

Eh, Bambinella?

Huh? Little girl?

But that you fell asleep?

It had been a long time since I had felt the care of a friendly hand.

Friend indeed.

Damn your hard head.

Can you tell me who did it?

Pascalone's men.

They wanted to know where I hid it

Because I hid my love In a place that only I know.

You're going to get yourself killed one day or the other.

They're going to tear you to pieces!

So it was she who accused you of...

That's what they told me during the interrogation.

Stop, please! Livia dear!

I asked our musicians to accompany you.

No one wants to give up the pleasure of hearing you sing.

[APPLAUSE] You are welcome.

Make room.

[SINGS "THE MAN I LOVE"]

At least you can breathe now. - Much better.

I'm just not used to it.

Well, I... I had a good time. - My luck was that you were there.

Accomplices. - Yes, accomplices.

Mom, wait for me! I'm coming too!

Mom, wait for me! I'm coming too!

Wait!

Don't run!

Do you like children?

Who doesn't like them?

I can't have any.

I would have loved to, but...

I will never experience the joy of being a mother.

Sorry, I wanted to tell you, since you confided in me earlier. - Yes.

Sorry.

Sorry. - About what?

I love another woman.

You look good, Nelide.

For some time now you have a different light.

I was going to tell you, you look good.

Thank you.

Instead, you are a bit wasted.

Never eat anything.

I'm going to do some shopping. "Grain by grain, you make a pile."

If you say so.

You are welcome, miss. - Thank you, have a good day.

Give me two of these.

They look good.

Now.

Good morning, what are you doing around here parts? - I'll tell you nicely.

Go and call Pasquale and tell him I'm staying here.

You look who you see! No less! Brigadier Raffaele Maione!

Good morning, Pasquale.

To what do I owe this honor?

Pasquale, do you remember how many times I saved your deck at school?

I can hardly remember being in school.

Do you know why?

Because neither the teacher nor your father Have ever beaten the shit out of you.

They didn't, Because I always covered for you.

How many lies and how much nonsense I had to say to cover for you.

Now what do you want? That I thank you after so long? - No.

Gustavo the Slut.

You know, that one was wrong.

I have to set an example, otherwise. here... - Nobody respects you, I know.

Then what did you come to do? - That one realized that he was wrong.

He is repentant; he will never do it again.

Above all, he has a wife and two children.

For that matter, he also has a femminiello.

It is not for honorable men.

We will find it sooner or later anyway.

What if I proposed a repentance?

Full remediation.

Now the young Balilla of the Sanità ward will sing the chorus

"Up the Nile to the Sacred Shore" from Verdi's "Aida."

(in chorus) ♪ Up the Nile... ♪ - Help me to reflect.

We right now in our hands what do we have again? - In what sense?

On the one hand is the boxer with threats.

On the other is Irace who has to close a deal.

Then? Think it through. - Give me something.

Thank you! - I was saying, think it over.

Irace that morning, despite the threats

puts a lot of money in his pocket

to meet with Martuscelli and wrap everything up.

Business is business. - Exactly.

At that appointment he had to go. - So?

I don't know.

Let's hear what else Taliercio has to say about the transaction.

[APPLAUSE]

Good morning. - Good morning.

We are Commissioner Ricciardi and Brigadier Maione. You are?

Paolo Forino. - What about Mr. Taliercio?

I'm sorry, commissioner, but Mr. Taliercio is not here.

Could you tell us what time you return?

Generally, in the afternoon. - What do you mean "generally"?

Mr. Taliercio is absent usually from the store

from noon until the afternoon to visit his wife.

So is he going back to his home? - No.

No, the wife is not at home, she is in a clinic unfortunately.

If you need to know anything, you can ask me.

Forino, right? - Yes.

Of the last major business Irace was taking care of

That of fine fabrics...

Yes, the 150 pieces Of combed whipcord.

Bravissimo. What precisely do you know about it?

With those fabrics, we would have been fine for two years.

Of the early appointment Irace had with the buyers

Who was aware, that you know?

Mah, poor Mr. Irace...

The brother-in-law and...

And the mediator, logically.

And you, logically.

Sure, but it's not like I went and told people.

Forino, look at me.

In your opinion, is it possible

that someone went to report about the appointment to Merolla?

Since he too was intent on to bring home the deal?

Commissioner, I don't know that.

However, it all happened out of the blue.

I remember the day before.

Irace and his brother-in-law called lawyer Capone

who is in charge of the administration

to have him prepare the 85,000 lira that was needed in cash.

Excuse me, how much did you say? - It's 85,000 lira.

Are you sure? - Cash.

You! You again!

You again!

You are still here.

Of course.

What is it, commissioner?

Irace was coming from there, he entered the alley going in that direction.

If it is as Bruno says, that is, he was taken in two

maybe one hid in the alcove to catch him from behind.

That is, the boxer or the friend? - No, Raphael.

Both of them are too big to fit in there.

He was hit from behind.

He was standing still and the beating knocked him down, understand?

While standing still in the alley? The dynamic could be this.

One surprised him from behind Giving him the beating.

Irace stood still in the middle of the alley talking to each other.

It is quite plausible

otherwise it would have been difficult to catch him by surprise, right?

If he had not been distracted By someone else.

These are Irace's clothes.

Here, Raphael. - Rest here.

Check this out.

This button has been torn off. Everything else is intact.

This pant is worth a man's freedom.

Tienicelo from account. - Doctor. - Goodbye.

Don't think only of yourself, there is also the happiness of others.

Good morning, Sergio. - Good morning.

Miss! - Good morning.

Miss, I don't know about about such things, however...

What things? What are you saying, excuse me? - Miss.

I don't understand you, tell me. - Yes.

I don't know about such things

But if I understand correctly, you must not give up.

"He who does not think first, sighs later."

If you wish for something, get busy.

Commissioner. - Hey. - The middleman confirmed.

Irace would pay 85,000 lira.

In his pocket he had only 70,000. - Yes.

I'll take care of it tomorrow. - Excuse me... - Shall we do a tailing in two?

- It increases the risk that we will be discovered. - Let's ask around, shall we?

We can only ask those who know And could warn him.

Whatever you say, commissioner.

Have a good evening. - To you.

Brigadier, excuse me. - What is it?

There would be news about those thefts. - "There would be" or "there are"?

Both of them. - "All..." No, I can't do it.

I give up, I can't do it.

Excuse me!

Excuse me. - Miss. - Tomorrow will be my birthday.

There will be a party. - Best wishes. - Let me talk.

One person will come to my house.

I know who you are talking about. - I know that you know.

Because we look at each other, is it true?

We have been looking at each other for a long time.

This person will ask for my hand.

And you are happy about it.

If I were happy about it, would I talk to you about it?

I need to know if I can continue to believe it

Before responding to a person who wants a family with me.

I need to know what you want from your future.

You are not mistaken About what I feel for you.

However, I...

I can never give you what you desire for...

For your future.

Lina, I have been an imbecile. An imbecile I have been.

I was afraid.

I was overjoyed to hear that you were not going to get any more clients.

I get it, let's not talk about it anymore.

But no, how do we not talk about it anymore? No, we have to talk.

We need to talk, because if you hear what I feel... - Ssh.

You stay here.

Me too.

Here we are together.

See you here.

There is nothing more to add. - I want to get you out of here.

You are a doctor.

A respected physician.

Don't ruin your life because of me.

It is not worth it.

Good evening, Livia. - No news, sorry.

I spent a good evening with Manfred.

He is kind, gallant, but he doesn't ask questions.

Avoid answering mine. - It will take time.

He is very much in love with that teacher.

Yes, of course, he is attracted to me, But his mind is all about you.

I don't think he will be able to resist you for a long time.

Of course, it is impossible not to be attracted to me, isn't it?

Too bad That the attraction remains as such

And feelings are intended to others.

Or those who really love you Is not taken into consideration.

And he cannot afford to tell you.

John. - Hey.

Is there anything you need to tell me?

Why? - Have you fallen in love? - Mom, what do you say?

Did you take the money from the jacket Dad's to give her a present?

I don't understand you. - Look what I found. - Sorry for the delay!

Raphael. - I know, I had a setback.

What setback? - There has been a theft in the neighborhood.

Ah. - It seems kids did it.

They saw them running away. Give me a hand. - Yes.

It's ready at the table. - What did you make for dinner?

Pasta and potatoes. - With provolone?

It's normal. - Hey! Daddy's boy!

Daddy's boy!

Little girl, I'll explain it one more time.

These are bad people, but they have rules... moral rules.

If Gustavo apologizes for the snub he made

And promises to return to his wife and children...

Wife and children, period.

Without distraction.

Pascalone puts "a stone on it."

"Moral rules." - Heh.

Separating two people who love each other How can it be a moral rule?

Little girl, what do you want from me?

This proposal I made and it was accepted.

More I could not do.

Now you decide.

I love him too much.

I love him too much not to sacrifice myself for him.

I will tell him that I have another love, so he despises me and forgets me.

But at least he doesn't suffer as I do from an injustice.

We did all the investigations for an accurate clinical picture.

My husband says that tonight he didn't sleep a wink.

In a few days his wife will begin to feel better.

Thank you.

Mom.

Mark my words, Luigi.

Don't be afraid of loneliness.

Our clinic requires very onerous payments.

Confidentiality is included in the price.

I realize that, director.

Only that the alternative to having the information

that you could give me now in the strictest confidence

Is for me to get them Through the Judiciary.

So take your pick.

Our residents are admitted in three sections.

The agitated, the semi-agitated and the quiet.

Where is the person housed we are talking about?

In the second section.

I need to know how long has been here and how much it pays.

He has been here for six years and pays 10,000 lira a year.

It is one of the most costly lines, given the particularity of the treatment.

How are the payments? Are they on time?

The family has been very late in the last few months, but fortunately...

Two days ago, the tuition was paid in full.

It was paid the following semester as well.

At this point, I just need two last things.

I should use your phone and see the person in question.

I know perfectly well that there is a visit, but you see.

I really need to see both of them.

Commissioner.

What are you doing here? How did you hear?

You always absent yourselves from your store

starting at noon.

It was enough for me to follow.

Nothing less, did you follow me? - Yes.

Taliercio.

I am sorry about your wife.

I'm really sorry.

There is no point in lying anymore, though.

I don't understand what you want from me. - I want 85,000 lira.

So much money was that your brother-in-law carried with him

in preparation for that appointment.

Few knew that he kept them in a trouser pocket.

Among those few are you.

On him we found him less money.

Seventy thousand lira that was in a coat pocket.

The button on the breast pocket of his pants had popped off.

Whoever took the money snatched it with fury from his pocket

Blowing off the button. He took some of it, 15,000 lira

And the rest he put in his coat pocket.

So what? - The magistrate will be informed

That the 15,000 lira was needed by you.

To pay your wife's tuition And anticipate one semester.

You have nothing in your hands!

I got along well with Constantine! I had no reason to kill him!

Money. - I am not a man violent! - Taliercio, the money.

That is the reason. We know also that you were not alone.

In the alley there is a hiding place

Where one of your accomplices put himself To hit him from behind.

We know who it is.

Of the only other person To know the time of the appointment.

Of the only one with the right build To hide in that alley.

He was the one who killed.

Is that so?

Do you understand, Adare'?

Me! I, who had been the master, now I was taking the salary!

What about him? He never came to the store.

Why? I'll tell you, because it was his stuff, like me.

Like the goods, like my sister.

Adare', do you remember Cettina? Do you remember how beautiful she was?

Now there is left the shadow of what was

As if she had died, killed by him.

Adare', you have to take it easy, because I'll take care of you.

Even if they put me in jail.

I swore before God.

"For better or for worse, in sickness and in health."

Don't worry, you I'll take care of it, yes, don't worry.

Don't worry, I'll take care of you.

Can't you have lunch in peace?

You'd better calm down and sit down, believe me.

Mrs. Irace, without meaning to, you told us.

I don't understand.

"The times I have seen it, are your words.

They are plural, "the times."

We were aware Of one time, at the cinematograph.

Between you and Sannino there has been at least one other meeting. - Cettina.

That was when they killed Irace.

You were alone in the house, right?

And you opened the door to Vincenzo, did you?

He was drunk.

He told me everything as if it were a dream.

Instead, it was true. It was true that you saw each other.

It was ero that you kissed.

What have you done? Tell me it's not true.

I looked out.

He was there looking at me Like so many years ago.

Did you kiss him? - You just can't do it.

You are unable to restrain your jealousy. - What do you say?

It was not enough to eliminate those who married the woman you love, but also Sannino.

The night the serenade took place, the whole palace heard it.

So you too.

It must have been then that you started thinking about how to do it.

Of course, you got a hand from Sannino With the scene at the cinematograph.

Then for one who knows the Law the plan could have been complete.

Isn't that right? So you have staged everything.

You leveraged the need your cousin's need for money.

These are only inferences. - Your cousin confessed.

It was you who struck.

You took advantage of Irace's surprise

In being confronted by his brother-in-law there at that time.

[GRIDA]

Then you finished it

With a blow given on purpose so that the blame would go to Sannino

to the right temple, while he was already unconscious.

Eventually you took the amount needed

To pay clinic fees for Taliercio's wife.

The rest You put it back on him.

He should have waited for the police to return the money.

But he couldn't resist.

He knew how much money he had. He took as much as he needed

And in his haste he put everything in his coat pocket.

Your purpose was to make sure

That we discard right away robbery as a motive.

That we focus attention on the boxer.

You were unlucky. You could not have imagined

that with how much money he had left of Irace's house that morning

we would eventually find out.

How could you? My husband.

Vincenzo. - Don't you understand that?

I could get rid of both of them in one fell swoop.

I thought it might come true our dream.

"Our," yes? Because you dreamed of it too, didn't you?

It can only be so, can it, Cettina?

Is it true, my love?

[INDISTINCT HUBBUB]

She is a prostitute. - The woman Of the mystery? - The woman I love.

Do you really love her?

As I have never loved before.

Assuming that I have been able Of loving before now.

What do you intend to do?

Don't let it get away for anything in the world.

I prepare a nice surprise.

May he be happy with her, my friend. - Her name is Lina.

To Lina then. - To Lina
