-I'm going to run a couple of errands. I'll be right back. -Wait !

What commissions ?

(Neapolitan accent) Jesus, those are seeing each other, understand? They go out together.

Mary, what should they do ?

Of course they can be seen. The commissioner asked my permission

To hang out with our daughter. - Yes ? Do you just want to hang out with her ?

He hangs out with her for 20 years and we keep quiet ?

- Don't you think about his reputation ? - You will see that soon... - No !

What soon, Giulio ? Now, do you understand ? Now, now.

The commissioner must come here at home

And tell us when he plans to to marry our daughter.

I swear, if Enrica doesn't tell him, I'll go to the police station.

- You get yourself arrested. - Hey.

I kill him with "bludgeons."

What are you doing here ?

- My mother is giving me a little bit of trouble. - In what way ?

- She can't wait for you to come home to meet her. - I know, tell her...

Madonnina mia... Madonnina, I feel like dying.

(Madonnina mia...) - No, but don't feel obligated.

- Absolutely. - Your mother has every reason.

I will remedy this soon, I promise.

- I feel like dying... - It's getting late now.

I really have to go.

Hello.

- Commissioner, I was coming looking for you. - Good morning, Raphael.

-What? -Double murder, just to please. They just called.

- Ruotolo. - Commissioner.

Commissioner, there are also bagpipers.

No, it is the bagpipers who have found Mr. and Mrs. Garofalo dead.

- Mhm. - Excuse me, but who are you ?

Beniamino Ferro, at your service. I am the janitor of the building.

- The pipers Were called... - Whatever.

-One thing at a time. Take us to where the incident happened. -Have a seat.

Poor people. They also have a daughter, Benedetta.

An aunt nun comes to pick her up and takes her to study.

- Come. - No, what "come" ? You stay here with me. - As you order.

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

[VOICE IN DISTANCE].

(I don't owe anything, I owe nothing at all.)

(I don't owe anything.)

(I don't owe anything at all).

(I don't owe anything.)

(I don't owe anything at all.)

(I don't owe anything.)

I don't owe anything at all.

(I don't owe anything.)

(I don't owe anything at all.)

I don't owe anything. I don't owe anything at all.

Emanuele Garofalo was a captain of the port fascist militia.

Big shot. The wife ? Donna Costanza was staying at home.

She was being a wife. With such an important husband.

- Have you seen anyone go to the Garofalos'? - No.

I was absent for half an hour.

Time to see out the accountant from the second floor.

I didn't even see the the bagpipers.

Gentlemen, what about you ?

Commissa', Mrs. Garofalo had called us for a novena.

- We had to agree For the fee. - Yes.

When we arrived, the janitor was not there, we went upstairs

And we found what you saw.

(in Neapolitan) Who can forget it anymore !

- What time did you arrive ? - Half past eleven

When we were supposed to meet with the lady.

- Go, but stay available. - All right. - Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Excuse me. - Bruno.

- Hi, Ricciardi. Maione. - Doctor.

- Thank you for coming. - Eh, "thank you."

- Not even widowers do you pity. - Are you at least a little better off ?

What can I say. I'm always thinking Lina, it's a constant thought.

Morning, noon and evening And good thing I don't remember the dreams

Because in my opinion, I also think about it at night.

- Forget about it, go. Let me see what you have found. - Come.

- Whatever, where is the husband ? - He's this way. Come with me.

(Hat and gloves.)

(Where did I put them ?)

Hat and gloves.

So, the woman was hit by a person standing in front of her

a single blow delivered with a very sharp blade.

He was slaughtered. The murderer came upon him.

Did you see the marks on the tablecloth ? He cleaned the knife afterwards.

- So he took him away. - Here we didn't find him.

Husband and wife died this morning between seven and eleven o'clock.

- For the rest you have to wait. (I don't owe anything).

I don't owe anything at all.

In short, he won't make up his mind.

What should I tell you, Mama, Luigi Alfredo is busy with work.

"What should I tell you, Mama, is busy with work."

Manfred was not busy ?

A German officer with so many responsibilities, but he was always here.

- I can't think about it. - You don't think about it. - Don't be a nuisance.

Manfred loved you, he wanted to marry you and he wanted children.

Should I have had children with a man I don't love ?

What does it have to do with ? Children... strengthen the marriage.

If love is not there, they give birth to it.

Yes ? Was it the same for you was it like that with dad ?

(in Neapolitan) How much patience Miss Enrica has.

In my opinion, the baron does not make up his mind not to have that as his mother-in-law.

I know, Aunt Rosa, that some things are not said.

I know, it sounds bad.

This one.

From the neighbors I learned that the Garofalos were good people.

They were keen to point out "honest people"

even though I didn't ask for it. - This doesn't sit well with you.

What should I say, too perfect, no ?

Shall we enter ?

Constance mine... How is it possible ?

Why ?

Who did it ?

When did it happen ?

This morning. We are here to shed light on what happened.

May the Lord welcome into his home you and Emanuel.

Forgive us, sister, we need some information.

We will take little of your time.

- What time did you pick up the little girl ? - About eight o'clock.

- At home did it seem to you everything normal ? - Yes, as usual.

Constance and Emanuel were quiet.

Do you know if there is anyone who can harbor reasons for resentment

for some wrong suffered ?

I don't know, I saw my brother-in-law very little. He was always busy with work.

My sister stayed at home.

I can tell you one thing, though.

If my sister was killed, it is her husband's fault.

- Why ? - Whoever did it, wanted to kill him.

Maybe because of work problems. My sister died because she was there.

- The motive may arise from the work of your brother-in-law. - I don't know.

I saw little of him...

However, I am sure that my sister had no enemies.

One last thing. Is your niece, Benedetta, here ?

Yes.

He is in his classroom, studying.

Poor creature.

I ... will tell her that the parents have left

And then I will invent an accident. The Lord will forgive me.

Thank you for your time. See you soon.

[CONFUSED VOICES]

What is it ?

- Sometimes I wonder if you are happy with me. - We rescue each other.

Both you and I cannot have the people we wanted beside us.

It is true, however, I could not imagine another woman who is not you

To cure my pain.

Did I say something wrong ?

No, please.

However, something upset you....

Or someone.

Just strange thoughts.

The truth is that I no longer know What meaning my life has.

Except for you, I am alone...

In this city I have chosen to follow my dreams

That turned out to be a failure.

Even the friendships of Rome, have completely receded.

And you, too, sooner or later your work will bring you back to Germany.

- Sorry. - Livia.

I am here. I am there.

Commissa, in my opinion the nun is right.

The woman died with a stab wound alone. The husband was slaughtered.

That poor girl died only because she was there.

Someone must hate him deeply to hit him so many times.

- So ? - We have to look for this hatred, Raphael.

Ricciardi.

Be sure to be careful.

Captain Garofalo was a man on the rise, highly regarded up there.

And up there they called him.

This is not the case for easy irony.

The militia has already advised me to be caution, so...

Discretion.

Discretion.

- Discretion. It's business as usual. - But these militiamen

Garofalo's colleagues, we need to hear from them.

Tomorrow we are going to have four talks at the harbor.

Carlo ? Carlo ?

Medicine. Take care, to the last drop.

- All of it. - That's better, thank you.

- Let's call the doctor tomorrow, though. - There is no need. Bianca.

I'm fine. It's a simple bronchitis.

I am taking care of myself And you are worrying for no reason.

- But before you go, I'll have you make soup. - No...

- Good evening, Anto'. - Brigadier.

- Ué, Franco, what are you doing here ? - I've remembered your old habits

And I came looking for you. - I get fresh fish only from Antonio's.

- Here you go. - Thank you. Set aside the eels for me.

-Don't worry, pay for everything when you come to the eve. -Thanks.

- Franco, were you looking for me? - I heard something and I have to tell you.

- Eh, say. - Do you remember Mario Candela ?

Who can forget it ?

- Is he finally dead ? - No, he is still in jail.

It seems that Mario Candela has confided in a friend in his cell

And a rumor came to me.

What voice ?

He did not kill your son Luca, but his brother Blaise.

Mario took the blame for protect his younger brother

But the one who killed Luca was Biagio Candela...

Who is now free and staying at home.

Ué, Raffae'.

You brought mullet, good job.

I bake them now. A half hour and see.

- What, you don't even say hello? - Sorry, Lucia.

It's been a heavy day. I have a headache.

Whatever, you'll eat now and get over it.

Then you get some rest.

I'm not hungry, Luci'.

Sorry, but I'm not hungry.

Raffae... Raffae' !

I know that when Christmas approaches.

the absence of Luke becomes almost unbearable.

Do you want to look at me ?

You taught me that, though. We also have other children

And for them it must be Christmas, as it should be.

So our pain we, we keep it inside

as always, mhm ?

- You're right. - Heh. - But now excuse me, though.

It's just that... I'm tired and...

I lie down a little on the bed.

Commissioner, Brigadier Maione.

Glad to see you again after such a long time.

- Needless to say, we have been waiting for you. - Dr. Pivani, I will not hide from you.

That it is a surprise for us to find a senior party official.

I go where duty calls, and if coincides with the pacere of reviewing

A person to whom I will always be grateful to... - It's like that for me, too.

- I note that you have recovered after the gunshot. - Yes.

- Despite some hangovers, I must say that I am doing well. - I am happy about it.

Don't be surprised, brigadier.

We have a need to know everything that is happening in the city.

Thanks to devoted men, to men... who do not exist

we always keep the situation under control. - We have a requirement

to meet some superiors, some of Garofalo's colleagues.

Of course, you will be accommodated, but just a clarification.

The port militia is closely connected with the party and Rome.

If the death of Captain Garofalo should turn out to be linked

To his function in the militia, I will have to be informed immediately.

- For what reason ? - Because it would be it would be a state crime.

I give you my word that as soon as we find the culprits

I will inform you immediately. - Good.

You have my full confidence.

That was the office of Captain Garofalo.

Cpl. Criscuolo.

Commissioner, I was retrieving some documents

Of Captain Garofalo. - Indeed.

What can you tell me about Garofalo ?

Had he made any enemies here ?

Captain Garofalo had recently been promoted.

Perhaps this had earned him some dislike.

You only have to ask around to know, so I will tell you.

Garofalo had been promoted because he was investigating

On some smuggling routes at the port.

- Could it be a revenge of the smugglers ? - I don't rule it out

However, these trades were headed to his direct superior

Captain Lomunno who was denounced and jailed.

-I guess he's in jail now. -No.

It was recently released.

He confessed to obtain freedom.

Meanwhile while he was in jail, his wife could not withstand the blow

and committed suicide leaving behind two young children.

You are providing me with the perfect motive.

This is information on everyone's lips in the environment.

- It is up to you to draw the consequences. - Where is Lomunno now ?

Of course, commissa. Lomunno had hatred to give so many stabs.

This definitely.

However, it does not convince you.

It's just. everything is perfect, isn't it ? Even too much so.

I mean, Lomunno...

Lomunno was a burned one for them.

The scapegoat to shut down the investigation

Without making us discover more serious things.

However now he is the prime suspect.

Let's do this.

I'll go and do some checking. You go and talk to whoever you know.

- Maybe he can tell us more. - I got it, see you later.

As usual.

This year I succeeded well in the nativity scene.

I take care of it with the help of a few boys from the parish.

I wanted to talk to you just about the nativity scene, Don Pierino.

I'm glad. What are you are you particularly interested in ?

The figure of St. Joseph. What does it mean in the nativity scene ?

St. Joseph is the most human figure in the nativity scene.

He is a putative father, a man, a carpenter.

For Christianity it represents in addition to fatherhood, work

The hardness of life. - Responsibility. - Mhm.

I mean.

Having children puts you in front of a great responsibility, doesn't it ?

Yes, but then it is quickly forgotten.

It is replaced by care, by protection.

In your opinion, a person who would break on purpose

the statuette of St. Joseph, what do you mean by this gesture ?

That would be a very ugly gesture.

Those who did so may have wanted to express their discomfort

for being deprived of one of the two rights, paternity

or work.

Oh! Do you understand Carmela ?

What a hard worker !

Brigadier !

- What a surprise! - Girls', where have you been?

I went to mass, every once in a while it it takes. Did you worry about me ?

Then you care.

Home, come on !

- Are you going to let me in ? - Let's go inside so we can warm up.

-You make me look like this. -Come on in.

- Go that way. - Heaven forbid.

I will prepare a surrogate for you before you ask me about it

On the Garofalo murder. - Whatever, give me the surrogate

And tell me everything you know. - Nothing. - What do you mean "nothing" ?

I don't know anything. All I know is that they killed Garofalo and his wife.

- Females', I drown you in the surrogate. - Mhm ?

How do you do it ? Do you put my head in the cup? It won't fit !

I will take information and let you know everything.

Who was mad at him, life, death and miracles.

(in Neapolitan) I make you "'o cunt' e 'ambasciata." I'll take the surrogate.

You guys want to know some other things, don't you ?

How do you know ?

Otherwise you had already left.

Instead you waited for the surrogate even though it sucks for you.

Biagio Candela. He has a brother in jail, Mario Candela.

I know who Mario Candela is, brigadie' and why he is in jail.

Then tell me where I can find Brother Biagio.

- Are you sure you want to know ? - I am sure.

If you don't help me, that's okay, I'll find it anyway.

Don't be silly, though, I beg of you.

He works in the carpenter's store of Don Xavier, at the Sanità.

Since his brother is in jail, Biagio has changed his life, brigadie.

He also now has two children.

Thank you for the information.

Biagio !

- Biagio ! - Here I am.

- I found the chisels that were missing. - Bravo.

-Help me bring the furniture inside. -I'll do it.

- Do you ? - Yes. - Do it slowly.

- I cleaned under there. - Down here ? - Eh. Easy.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Good morning.

Mr. Lomunno !

> Waiting for you.

This is Commissioner Ricciardi.

Commissa', I would be lying if I said. That I don't know why you are here.

Take a seat.

Sorry, I can only offer you a little water or a view of the crib.

I wonder why the creditors didn't also take the shepherds.

If you already know why I am here, you tell me what I need to know.

I had my job.

I liked it. I was established, liked.

Then one day I went to the office

And I found my superior With two men in uniform.

I was told "you are corrupt"

And they started putting their their hands in my pockets, going through my pockets.

What did you guys have in your pockets ?

Money, commissa.

Lots of money. Money from a lifetime of work.

plus other money that an uncle of mine had given me

To make my wife happy.

Why, what were you supposed to do with that money ?

To buy our own house. That was his dream.

I hadn't told anyone.

No one knew, not even my wife.

With only one person I had confided in, Garofalo.

He had me accused of taking coffee smuggling money.

They said, "You let in the smugglers' ships."

And they jailed me. - You did not have stated your reasons ?

Didn't you have any witnesses ? Your uncle, for example.

You do not know the militia, the political police.

They don't do trials, you're finished

And the person who accused you gets promoted.

Then when I came out ...

my wife was no longer there.

The pain and shame had killed her.

And so you took revenge.

A hundred times, commissa. A thousand times I took revenge.

Not even you know how many times I killed Garofalo

But inside my head

And a thousand other times, to every piece of furniture I sold

To pay the rent for this house And now we also have to leave it.

Even now that he is dead, in my head he finds no peace.

Sorry, I did not kill him.

Commissa', for those who have children ... revenge is too expensive.

I could not afford it.

In short, to make a long story short

Lomunno is right. For those who have children, revenge costs too much.

- It does set things right, though. - I don't know.

What would he gain to take revenge ?

Only the ultimate ruin Of his family.

Those who are blinded by pain does not make such reasoning.

I'll go over to Bruno's now. You go home, you look tired.

- I will see you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

Excuse me, but what are you...

- What are you doing here ? - I need to talk to you. - I don't want to talk to you.

- We have nothing to say to each other. - I didn't think it would end like this

That my mom would be... -What? Be a man, say it, dead !

Lina died because of you ! Do you understand ?

I didn't touch it. It was my my friends because she was being a whore.

Don't you dare ! Your mom Was only trying to give you a future.

You don't even have the right to to say his name. You are a coward.

Wait.

You are right, I deserve it, however, I need to ask you something.

I don't want to know anything, go away !

- Good morning, Bruno. - Come with me.

- Is everything all right ? - Give me a second.

On the woman there were no signs of a struggle.

- She did not expect the attack. - She was taken by surprise.

Instead, he had so many stab wounds

I struggled to count them, between thirty and forty.

-Many were inflicted when he was dead. -The killer inflicted

After killing him. He must have really felt a lot of hatred.

What's up with you ? Do you want to talk ?

Camillo just came, Lina's son.

- What did he want ? - He wanted to talk to me.

He wanted to apologize, forgiveness, I don't know.

I didn't let him talk And I kicked him out.

- Are you sure you won't come? - I'd rather stay here.

I'm a little tired tonight. Thank your friends.

Whatever.

I will miss you, though.

- Do you want me to stay here ? - No, go. I know it pleases you.

It will be good for me to be here

To hear some music And to be alone for a while.

Enjoy.

[SPEAKS IN GERMAN].

"Without you all pleasure is ... imperfect."

See you tomorrow.

[MUSIC]

Let me hear from you.

Fortunately, the fever is gone.

I'll get your car ready to get back home.

So you really feel like To get rid of me.

No.

I would keep you here forever....

But it is not right.

Pardon, madam ?

An. Unexpected visit.

I don't...

Don't worry, Clara, go ahead.

Why did you not go to dinner with Major von Brauchitsch ?

How dare you intrude in my life

In this brazen way ?

At least you were able to wrest from him some... interesting confidences ?

When I ask him about his work, he is always vague

And still you could follow it, investigate it yourself

If the information you seek is so important

Or our espionage relies only on a widow

and on his ability to ask questions.

Do you think we don't investigate, that we don't follow it up ?

But your position is privileged

Attending it assiduously.

You say that Maj. von Brauchitsch never blurts out.

He actually lies to you, he has no confidence in you.

You have fallen in love, that's the problem.

Falling in love is beautiful, Hawk, it is not a problem. Don't you know ?

I only know that the main love, the strongest one

we have to take it to the homeland, to fascism.

Everything else if it conflicts with this duty

Must be buried, in the heart and mind.

Are you capable of this ?

In spite of myself.

The question I ask myself Is whether you are capable of it.

Surprise me.

Surprise me you...

Leaving me alone.

Outside my house.

But.

If the child understands everything ?

- Maybe the aunt didn't tell her anything. - In fact, it will not be easy.

We have to be careful not to let her know that it has happened.

No, commissioner. I don't know whether my brother-in-law has received threats.

I saw him very little and certainly he didn't confide in me.

- Maybe your sister... - No, he didn't confide in her either.

Constance never said anything to me.

- Instead...were you able to talk with your granddaughter? - No.

And you, sister, how are you ?

I try to drive out the anger from the heart

And I try not to hate who did this thing.

She did not hate the humanity Who crucified her son.

How can we afford to hate, we ?

Those who killed them will pay in the judgment that awaits him

Not only in this land. - Listen, sister.

We want to ask questions to the child

Without telling her what happened. Maybe she saw something

that may be helpful in understanding who carried out this act. - Permission.

- What do you want, Mariano ? - Can I go to the bathroom ? It escapes me.

In front of the picture Of the Virgin Mary, what must you do ?

- Don't you know you have to kneel ? - Forgive me, Sister Veronica.

Sacred images are so called because they are sacred.

- Now go where you need to go And don't forget it again. - Thank you.

They are like little beasts, but ... they are innocent souls.

I'm going to call Benedetta. Take care.

Thank you, take it easy.

Bless you, these gentlemen are my friends and they want to meet you.

Sit here.

- Good morning. - Good morning to you, Benedetta.

So.

My name is Luigi Alfredo and he is Raphael.

Can I ask you a few things ?

In the last days before leaving

did your parents seem a little worried ? - No, sir.

- They were the same as always. - Good.

One more thing. Lately you have had to visit you at home

you didn't know ?

A gentleman and a lady I had never seen.

How were this gentleman and this lady ? Do you remember ?

They were dressed in black and she had a shawl on her head.

What did they say during the visit ?

By the time they arrived, we had already had dinner.

Father was reading the newspaper and let them into his study.

They were talking loudly, but you couldn't understand them.

- No talking out loud, do you, Auntie ? - No, honey, you don't.

Do you remember anything else about that night ?

Just one thing, but I don't know if I can say it.

That's a bad word.

They smelled like fish. Excuse me, auntie.

As soon as I saw her, my heart tightened. my heart. From the speeches she makes...

[TONGUE SNAPS]

-Children, excuse me... -Commissioner. -I'll be right with you. -Go.

- Take your time. - Yes.

Are you crazy to come to the police station

And with the commissioner present ? - What a handsome man. - Girls'...

- I prefer you, though. - Yes. - I have an important piece of information

However, if you prefer, meet me at my place. Tell me that you prefer it.

Girls', I have a free cell. If you want, I'll put you in there.

- Why did you come ? - I found out that the one

Captain Garofalo, blackmailed fishermen.

He threatened them with seizing the boats if they did not give him the money.

-Welcome by all. -But one fisherman didn't have the money.

because of a son with a bad illness. Medicine is very expensive.

- Why are you stopping ? Go ahead. - The veil gets in the way. - I'll cut it!

The fisherman asked for time from Garofalo to pay

But he took the money from his hands

the ones he needed for medicine. - What a stinker !

- Peace be upon his soul. - Always. Go on.

A friend told me that three days ago this fisherman in front of everyone

Threatened to kill him. - Ah...

- What is the name of this fisherman ? - Aristide Boccia.

- Boccia. - However, he is not the only one who had it in for Garofalo.

- I thank you, but don't come here anymore. Now go. - One more thing.

The story of Biagio Candela. I didn't slept because of worry.

- I know that Luca's death... - These are things you don't care about.

These are my things, clear ?

Take care, though, it's Christmas.

What do you guys think ? They could have been Boccia and his wife.

They have the motives. Bambinella also said that.

Then he is a fisherman.

- Benedetta said that those two smelled like fish. - Yes, Raffae'

However, apparently, many had reasons to kill Garofalo. - Heh.

This is also true.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Mom !

Good morning. Brigadier Maione, this is Commissioner Ricciardi.

I knew that some of you would come.

It's better that way, ma'am. At least you already know.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

Good morning.

Love, let's go that way. Come.

Let's go.

- But ... your husband Aristide still hasn't returned? - How!

Now he comes back, he went fishing, for what it takes to fish again !

-How long has your son been in this condition ? -A couple of months

And it doesn't get better.

- He would need the medicine. - But the money is not there !

Let us spare 'this cross. We Went to Garofalo, that rotter.

- Aristides. - I have no respect for certain dead people. He was a rotter !

- Mr. Aristide, calm down and tell. - All right.

Here.

We went...

My wife and I went. We asked for time to pay.

- What ? - The permit to go fishing !

- He asked everyone. - Permission, commissa.

If we didn't pay, he threatened to take away our fishing license

And ... I needed the money to treat Salvatore.

Have you seen it ?

- He is getting worse and worse. - Ari'.

Commissa', we already earn a pittance from fishing.

You go out at dawn and when you come back

sometimes you fish and many times one is left empty-handed like tonight.

-Even tonight ? -I told Garofalo that he owed us a little mercy

And he laughed in our faces along with the wife. - He and his wife.

He said, "I don't owe anything. I don't owe anything at all."

I don't owe anything. I don't owe anything at all.

- When did you go to Garofalo ? - When did we go ?

- A couple of days before. - Two, three days before he died.

- Are you sure ? You don't want to lie. - We don't remember the day.

Two, three days before.

-When the Garofalos were killed. -where were you? -In the boat.

- Where was he supposed to be ? - Fishing With my companions. Ask.

Damn !

We have not been, commissa', however, I have something to tell you.

When they told me the end that he and his wife had gone

I felt relief.

I thought that someone worse than him could not come.

Whatever, we'll check it out and in the meantime I'll have a doctor come in

To visit your child. - We cannot afford it.

There is no need to pay, rest assured.

Thank you, commissa.

- Have a good day. - Have a good day's work. - Goodbye.

- Thank you. - Angels'...

Damn it to hell!

Don't worry.

Open to Salvatore.

Look who's here.

- Good morning. - Good morning, Your Excellency.

I was told that often Aristide Boccia goes fishing with you.

If there is a possibility-yes.

The morning that they killed Garofalo ?

Brigadier, we understand where you are going with this.

I have to tell you something, though.

If a child is being taken from you, you do yourselves justice.

However, Aristide has been with us since 4 a.m.

until the afternoon. - For four money he would take Garofalo.

You guys know that you go to jail for perjury, yes ?

We know, however, we have told you The truth, how true is God.

- Thank you, goodbye. - Take care, excellency.

- What do you say, Enrica, shall we buy the cauliflower for the salad ? - Good.

I don't like these though, they are mushy. Let's go somewhere else.

- Look, I'm going to head home. - You go home with me.

- Why ? - Maybe you didn't understand, I don't let you go out alone anymore.

Mama.

People talk, so if you go out, you go out with me, not even with your father

Until your commissioner decides to come home.

- Let's go away, these cauliflowers make me make me sick. - At least wait for me !

-Good thing she's not my client. -Mind your own business. -Excuse me...

- Think of you. - I don't have time To think about me, I have to think about you.

-I have to buy broccoli, so think broccoli. -Broccoli ?

- Eh, broccoli. - All right, how many shall I give you? - Two. - Two?

- Two ! - Whatever.

- Is this okay ? - Yes.

What are you doing here ? Go wash your hands and take this off the table, it gets dirty.

- Mommy, are you nervous? - Me? No, it's...

- Dad already had to be here. - Whatever, you know the work he does.

Yes, I know, but for a few days I see him nervous.

- Good evening, Nelide. - Good evening.

It is closed ! The window That you look at is closed.

-What does that mean ? -Mom doesn't let her even look out if she is not there.

- How do you know it ? - I know.

With all due respect, but you guys need to make up your minds

because here "water is scarce and the duck does not float."

You have to show up at their house And set things right !

Instead, you need to be in your place Without giving unsolicited advice.

- Sorry, I've been... - Sorry, I was cheating... - Sorry you.

Nelide, forgive me. I am very nervous at this time.

You are right, all right ? You are right, but I...

I can't do it now. I will, but in my own time.

- Whatever you want. - Sorry again.

- Now I try to fix it With glue, eh? - Yes.

Don't you even eat chops ?

- I have a cold, my stomach is tight. - Raffae...

When you are cold, you eat even potato peels.

John, please, take everyone to brush their teeth ?

Let's go.

- Quick, quick. - Let's go.

- Can you tell what's wrong with you ? - Nothing! I told you, I'm sick.

Then take a medicine And go to a doctor.

I know the medicine I need.

What do you mean ?

Nothing, Luci'. Excuse me, but I'm going out for a moment.

- Raffae' ! - I have to do something.

- Can you make it? - I'll take it.

Biagio, you close, mind you.

-See you tomorrow morning at six o'clock. -See you tomorrow. -Good night.

Brigadier, don't do that.

Go away, Girls'. Get out.

You ruin your lives And you will not get Luke back.

Biagio has family and so do you.

Think about your children If you don't want to think about his.

Dad!

Gennari' !

Did you see, brigadie ? What did I tell you?

What an ugly thing hate is, brigadie.

What a bad thing.

You are not like that.

[LOCK CLICK] Raffae...

Is it possible to know where you went ?

That man with the knife, the one who was seeking revenge ?

That is not my husband, that's not the man I married.

The man I married Has given up, has chosen forgiveness.

It's you, Raphael.

You are you. You are the man I married, you are my husband.

Do you understand ? Thank you.

Thank you ! Thank you ...

Good morning, Enrica. Good morning, ma'am.

- My mother, Maria Colombo. - I am honored. Commissioner Ricciardi.

- I finally have the pleasure of getting to know you. - Me too.

Forgive me, I should have come to introduce myself, but ...

I understand, the overwork.

Well, um. Mom, the commissioner is busy and...

- When can we offer you coffee ? - Mom.

I am talking to the commissioner. Surely he will have half an hour

To come and clarify things properly. Right ? -Right.

- It's fine with me on the eve of the day. - That's just fine ! We are waiting for you.

-So see you tomorrow, have a good day. -See you soon. -To the eve. -Sure.

Capt.

If you have come all the way to Naples, it will be for important communications.

What I am going to tell you is a subject of the utmost secrecy.

You know that you can trust.

I offer you the opportunity to render a great service to the party

And to your career.

I am honored by it. What is it all about ?

It is a correspondence...

between our services and some apparatchiks very close to Hitler.

- Is everything clear ? - It is a great responsibility.

In Rome they see fit to to do this favor for Hitler

as it is gaining more and more power

And they want to know if you feel comfortable to accept the assignment.

-Why me? -You are in a privileged position privileged to implement the plan.

I am not the head of the structure of the party in Naples.

The head of the facility would hardly go along with us.

-I think so, too. -It goes without saying that once once the plan is realized, you will...

you can aspire to take its place.

I will wait for your nod, Hawk.

So, roccocò and susamielli I ordered them.

Do I make struffoli ? Yes.

- "Struffoli." - Mari', that one comes for coffee and small talk

Not to fill their bellies. - The commissioner needs to know

Which house he is lucky enough to enter.

I thought that by the end of next spring

we can think about doing marriage. - Mom.

- I beg you, do not overdo it. - The clock is ticking

And you are not so young anymore. - Thank you for the kindness.

Mamma mia ! If I don't think about certain things, nobody here thinks about them.

You shut up, huh ? Heaven forbid you help me.

Mari', I help you and you know.

But you don't have to rush things, you must not put pressure.

The commissioner comes to meet us e...

The commissioner doesn't get out of here alive without a marriage proposal

otherwise you know what I do ? - I know, go get the German.

Good, where it is, it is. I'll pick it up and bring it here.

"Raffiuoli."

Mustaccioli. "Mu-sta-ccioli."

Enrica. What a nice surprise.

My mother went to buy Christmas sweets. I escaped.

He doesn't want us to see each other until you show up at home.

So you have been the disobedient child.

He even invited Don Pierino.

He wants authoritative witnesses.

However, if you don't feel like it, we make up an excuse, we postpone.

Are you willing to spend a hell of a Christmas for me ?

Any hell, not just at Christmas.

I'll be there. Your mother has every reasons, I told you.

I only want for you to be happy.

Then I'll go.

Hello.

You have made a habit of coming to visit me whenever I am alone.

-I urgently need to talk to you. -I am sick and tired of your urgencies, Falco

And I have nothing new to tell you. - It doesn't matter.

So this is just a courtesy visit.

Listen to me, Livia. We have to go away.

I don't understand.

You need to come away with me as soon as possible.

We have to leave.

You mean you and I. For what reason ?

I cannot explain, not now, but you have to trust me.

You ask me to leave my new home, my affections, my world

Without an explanation. - I ask you to follow me !

I beg you...

For the love I feel for you.

Do you feel love for me ?

Don't tell me you didn't get it.

- So you love me. - With all of me.

You usually push the woman you love into the arms of another

to profit from it ?

There are duties greater than ourselves, duties that exceed...

Enough, Falco! Spare me this litany, I know it by heart.

- What can I do to convince you ? - Nothing. You can do nothing.

Perhaps you love me, as you say

But the truth is that I despise you, with all of myself

And I assure you that no reason in the world, not even the most serious

might prompt me to follow you

To share a single moment Of my life with you.

- There are things... - Our collaboration ends here, Falco

or whatever you call yourselves

Since you haven't told me even your real name.

As for duty, of which you are so full of

I would like to tell you that even serving the homeland

In the way you do It is now repugnant to me.

Now you can get out of the way.

You know the way.

White.

You are in great shape.

- Almost fully recovered, yes. - Good thing.

- I stopped by to give you Christmas greetings. - Thank you.

- I actually should have anticipated you me, though. - Work.

I know, so much work.

Who will you spend Christmas with ?

It is difficult to answer.

Tomorrow I will officially ask Enrica's hand in marriage, and so ...

Ah...

- Well... Yay for the bride and groom. - Thank you.

How about you ? Your Christmas ?

I actually came by for this as well.

I would like to ... your advice.

I'm... I'm a little worried about Carlo.

He neglects his health and no longer has a social life.

I'm afraid he's going to let go

And after all he has done for me

the least I can do is stand by him, so I would like to ...

I would like to propose that he move in with him, at least until he gets better

However, I...

I am a married woman

And I'm not saying this for me, but you know how people are.

He would misjudge this step e...

I do not want Charles to be involved in unpleasant gossip.

I understand that, of course.

However, if I may, Charles is superior to gossip

And I know very well that you are too.

So. Bianca, if you're up to it.

and especially if it makes you feel good

Do it, protect it.

Commissa...

I understand you, but what could we do ?

- Lomunno has the motive, but he doesn't have the alibi. - I know.

However, you are not convinced.

(I don't owe anything.)

I don't owe anything at all.

(I don't owe anything. I don't owe anything at all.)

(Hat and gloves.)

(Where did I put them ?)

Hat and gloves.

Commissa...

Have you found anything ?

Just the feeling that we got it all wrong, Raffae'.

The nativity scene is left without St. Joseph, how sad.

The broken figurine ?

He is no longer there.

No, commissioner, I assure you.

I did not take any broken figurines.

- Are you sure ? - Of course, I would remember that.

- Do you know if anyone came who took it ? - No.

A person who would break on purpose a figurine of St. Joseph ?

- That would be a very ugly gesture. - I'll try to fix it. - Let's go !

- Hello, children. - Good morning. - We are not disturbing you.

- How are you? - Benedetta, how are you? - Fine.

What is this ?

Commissa.

Here it is.

Commissioner, brigadier, how come this visit ?

How dare you.

Children, everybody out. Go !

Only those who killed the Garofalos could have known about the broken statuette.

I had gone to get the laundry for Benedetta, found it, and ...

You love sacred images very much.

-That's why you risked so much to fix it. -What do you say? -Enough.

It is time to tell the truth. In prison there is an innocent man.

He is a good family man !

Do you also want to keep this burden on your conscience ?

It was the Virgin Mary who told me.

They deserved the punishment.

Why ?

I wanted children as a girl.

I would have wanted so many children, my sister did not.

My sister only thought about clothes, to comb her hair, to be beautiful.

I was waiting for the right man To have a family.

I waited for him, and he came.

Emanuele Garofalo.

We used to meet secretly.

He said I was like a little girl

That I was as beautiful as a little girl.

He would kiss me...

touched me.

I felt That he was my destiny.

Then what happened ?

My sister. Do you understand ?

My sister ! She was the one who stole it from me.

They got married and I understood.

That I would love only Our Lord And I became a nun.

I gave up everything, my life, my dreams, everything !

Then Constance became pregnant and Benedetta was born.

# Get some sleep, my blessed one

# And be quiet, I've got you. #

- You will have to look after Benedetta, I can't. - Why do you say that?

Motherhood has already made me ugly.

I have to think about my husband, otherwise he goes with other women.

If you make such speeches, you will end up in hell.

It is sacrilege to reject children.

Then earn your own heaven.

You grow up blessed. I have to think about my husband.

I raised Benedetta as a mother, but I used to go to that house

Only to take it away. It was not a worthy home !

What motivated you to do what you did ?

They made the nativity scene.

I... I entered

And I saw it-the crib.

Do you understand ? In that house of sinners !

I could not allow it, I couldn't ! I used to dream about it at night.

The Virgin Mary repeated to me that... it was a sign.

Bless you, we forgot your gloves and your hat.

- Just wait here. - All right, I'll wait.

What's going on? What do you want?

- The crib, Constance. - Well ? - Why did you do it?

Are you asking me ? Benedetta sees that you do

And he wanted it here as well. - No.

Not in this house.

You need to remove it right away.

- You are completely crazy. - I have I said you must take it out right away.

You make all this fuss over two figurines ? That's what they are, statuettes.

But how dare you ? Lay the saint down at once.

- No. - I said put it down.

- Put it down. I said put it down. - No. - You have to put it down. - No !

Are you happy ? You made me break St. Joseph.

Whatever, it will be bought back anyway. However, you forgot one thing.

Where did I put them ? Hat and gloves.

There was the knife to cut the cork.

Maria told me it was a sign, a sign...

To punish sacrilege.

What are you doing here ?

The crib. You do not have the right To do it in this house.

You need to remove it right away.

I don't owe anything. I don't owe anything at all.

Then I cleaned the knife ... On the tablecloth.

I washed away the blood

And I felt ...

raised.

It was Our Lady.

It was Our Lady who told me to do justice, and I did it....

By my own hand.

Sister, come with me.

This way, please.

Nelide, I go out and...

And good night. - Good night.

Thank you, Aunt Ro'. He finally made up his mind.

(in Neapolitan) "Patience is worth more than science."

> Ah, how did the function go ?

Very good.

- What was it, a Communion ? - A Baptism. - Nice.

[BELL]

I'll go. > A lot of people.

> These are the occasions when families come together.

> Then this is the season.

> Baptism is a celebration for the whole family. > Of course.

Good evening, ma'am.

- Don Pierino. - Here is Commissioner Ricciardi.

- Knight. - Commissioner. - Ma'am.

Oh, thank you ! What a nice thought.

- Enrica, take coat and hat Commissioner's. - I'll do it.

Give to me as well.

- Hat ? - I don't wear a hat.

What a pity ! They are so elegant the men in hats.

If you change your mind, my husband sells them.

- Please be seated. - Ms. Colombo made us find

delicious desserts.

Made by me, with the help of Enrica.

Enrica is very good. Whoever marries her makes a bargain.

- Will you have a roccoco ? - Sure. - Don Pierino, you too. - Thank you.

- Giulio, do you want another one ? - No, thank you. - Enrica to Mama.

They are delicious.

- You said, Fr. Pierino, that you came from a Baptism. - Yes.

It's a beautiful ceremony. I have baptized the baby of a couple

I've known since they were kids.

The most excited were the grandparents, moved to tears.

Being a grandparent is an incredible. I say this because I am one.

Perhaps it is a greater emotion Than being a parent.

However, some children do not want to give this satisfaction to their parents.

Of course, it also depends on the determination of those they meet.

This year winter doesn't want to show up.

- Thanking the Lord. - Let's hear, commissioner, you...

what is your intention ? Do you want to get married, have children ?

Obviously.

How... As is obvious there are always considerations to be made.

- As for feelings, those are there. - Very good.

This is wonderful news.

- Then we open a bottle of wine. - I'll take it.

Let's hear it, commissioner, because a mother must understand... commissa' !

What would be these considerations ?

- Mary. - No, I want to hear. - Mrs. Maria...

The commissioner said that the feelings are there.

This is the only thing that is needed.

- Then these matters concern the commissioner, not us. - You are right.

Yes, it's not up to us, it's up to the commissioner to make a decision.

We have quite different problems.

- What problems ? - Like what problems, Julius.

Don Pieri', my husband doesn't want to admit

That it is a problem to have a daughter who is past the age of marriage

and rejecting a German officer animated by the best intentions

To go toe to toe with... Wait, what was it like ? Ah, yes.

"Some Considerations."

The only consideration to be made

Is to know if and when you want to marry my daughter and give me grandchildren.

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

Oh God, sorry.

Sorry, ma'am, really...

I'm sorry, cavalier.

Sorry too, Don Pierino, I don't know what came over me.

[LAUGHING]

Above all, I apologize to you, Enrica

For all this time lost

For this mistake because ... it was just a mistake. Sorry.

Sorry.

[LAUGHING]

(You left me alone).

(You left me alone).

(You left me alone).

You left me alone.

(You left me alone).

So. A little drop.

- Why ? - A little drop, just a little bit.

And so much to Dad.

Why ?

Why ? Because.

Tomorrow is finally Christmas, here's why.

He will heal, the medicine has done him good.

Come on, Salvato', come on! Come on, Salvatore.

Mind you, you have to give him

one of these tablets twice a day. Do you understand ?

- Just one tablet, morning and evening. - Thank you.

- Do you understand, Angels' ? - Yes.

Here it is.

- I don't know how to thank you. - Don't worry about it.

- Thank you. - Bye, saved. - Goodbye.

Ué, never mind.

Forget it, darn it ! Do you understand dad ?

You have to be good. Damn it to hell.

You are welcome.

- What is this news ? - Flowers.

Christmas. My father used to give flowers to my mother at Christmas.

- Thank you. - And you're welcome.

Whatever, I'm leaving. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Merry Christmas.

Raffae', take it easy. It will be a Christmas Eve with flying colors.

Eh... eve.

Eve, eh.

What is it? Are you afraid that I've got a bad eel ?

You will see tonight !

- No, it's not for the eel. - And what is it ?

You as usual you did very well.

- It will be an eve... beautiful. - Get the others. - Just.

Luci', I...

- I have to go out. - Where do you have to go ? - I'll be right out. - No, Raphael...

-Don't do nonsense. -It's not what you think, it's something else.

I'll be right there.

Coming soon.

Whatever.

- Cami! What happened? - He fell from a raised floor.

He broke a couple of ribs.

What happened to it ?

- Did he say anything to you ? - No, mother.

- Anto', eat something. - Shall we share ?

You, too, eat something. You, the bread.

Sooner or later it will come.

Who is this beautiful child ?

This is Benedetta. She was going to spend Christmas alone.

So I thought he can stay with us for all the holidays

At least breathe family air. - You did well.

Come. Giova, set a place next to me.

- What a beautiful little coat. - Thank you.

You are also very polite.

Here is the chair for Benedetta.

I'm hungry !

Go.

Come. Dinner is ready already. Have you seen your luck tonight ?

- So, happy eve to everyone. - Happy eve. - Happy eve.

Here's to the best Christmas of my life.

It's a good day.

-When you're here, it's always Christmas. -You'll have to get used to it.

- To what ? - To Christmas.

I have decided to stay here Until you are healed.

- Bianca, you... - I'm staying, unless You don't want it, you.

Merry Christmas.

Sit down with me.

What are we to do, to be alone you this way and me that way at Christmas ?

Sit down with me.

Up !

Merry Christmas.
