'Sweets From a Stranger'

I like your dog, what's his name?

'Adescame' (?) I live close by, let's go.

It's live, eh? -Yes, If you want me to tape it, it'll be $100...

It's expensive because you're a virgin. ...It's VHS.

What's your name?

Romina Powers.

Make room... -Isn't it a bit cramped here?

I sleep in the bed.

Move it! What if he comes back? We won't use our home anymore...

I hope he doesn't remember the way there...He was distracted.

Quiet! Look, you're an accomplice too you know!

Is there anyone in this hell hole? Now what will I do!

Help! I'm over here! Someone's trying to kill me!

What do you want from me? I haven't hurt anyone!...

...You want to kill me because I'm a prostitute!

...Because I'm a prostitute...

'Prostitute Murdered'

Get in.

Close it.

Look, this is our turf. We were here before you.

I get it. What do you want? -Either you go elsewhere or...

...you play by our rules.

What rules?

Here, but by tomorrow you work for our service...

-What service?

That's for us to decide, and be grateful you didn't...

...get any weirdos dressed as women.

One of those notes is false! -Be more careful...

...See how you need some friends round here?

Why are you back so early? -And you? How come you're still up?

Let me see.

'I cry a lot when nobody is here, and today I....'

-That's mine, you can't do that to me!

I'm your mother, I can do what I want...

'The teachers want to speak to my mother...'

'I can imagine what lies she'll tell them...'

'...and I'm always left alone.'

Do you have anymore of this rubbish? Where is it?

Your classmates are jealous of you because you've always got more...!

You don't like what I do? Then even this stuff isn't good enough for you...

Look, you aren't much different you know.

I paid everything. Gas, electricity even the fine. There's the rest...

...Count it Bruna. -Let me see...

Anyway, you'll always earn less than me, and you know why?

Because you're too beautiful, and you scare them!

I used to scare them once...

Do you want a coffee? -No Thanks, I've got things to do.

Who is it? -It's me, your slave.

I'm not coming up, I'll put the stuff in the elevator.

And who are you? -I'm Elisa's daughter.

Here's the bill.

Look, your mother wants me to take you straight home.

After the lesson I always feel so hungry.

I'm only here to take you home, that's the deal.

I beg you! Just a short while.

Come on, move it. -Why don't you get one?

It's banana. -Why don't you hurry?

You seem different to the others. -The others... who?

The ones before you.

You still haven't told me your name?

I'm called Lena.

Is it your real name? -It's an abbreviation.

In that case you must call me Vale, it's the abbreviation of Valentina.

Mine of 'Marianna' -I need to go to the toilet.

Come on, get on. We'll pay double.

Yeah, but no discounts. I'll get in the middle, okay?

Hey! This is a woman. What's going on here?

I don't do that stuff. -Don't worry we're just messing...

Stop the bike! Stop it.

But why? We'll pay you anyway, it's just a game!

I don't get paid to 'play'. When I want to play I do it for free.

Wait...

I want to speak to you.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

I know her!

It's Bruna.

My God!

She's still alive. Let's get her out.

She's trying to say something.

Listen to her...

I've got someone critical in the car, we need help!

Help me, please.

She's lost a lot of blood.

She's dead!

Hey Lady, where are you going?

Stop! -I got nothing to do with this, I'm off!

Stop!

Finished.

'Bruna's last hours reconstructed, Theory: Maniac was responsible'

I asked you if you'd seen the new colours?

Yes, I saw them.

Listen Angela, I need to ask you something.

Before I come here tomorrow morning...

You don't have to do this...

...But I'll ask you anyway...

You know what I do, right?

I'm sure you've heard around.

Poor woman, she never managed to save a penny.

I've got some money back home. But her? We lost track a while ago...

...and now she's ended up here.

Is this enough for all the trouble? -No, leave it...

Listen, just take it.

Come on. -No...

I also have a favour to ask.

Do you have a cigarette?

I'm Claudia. -Ciao.

I'm Monica.

Stella... -We're having a wake for her.

Take it. Once, Bruna and I were very close.

...No, it wasn't over you.

You see? No relatives came. -It's better like that.

This way it all stays in the family.

This is the second. -Maybe it's just coincidence?

The way this is going we'll all end up dead.

We need to be more careful at work. -Well, it's not like going to an office.

This is all we needed.

I'm going to quit this month. -Why? You're good with the clients.

Yes, but I found another housekeeper to stay with.

What was that favour you wanted from me?

Can you introduce me to someone?

Have you made up your mind?

Yes.

Monica, I had such a bad dream! -Hey, don't worry. We're safe here.

We work at home. There's two of us.

And all our clients are respectable. All classy people with credit cards..

We're an exclusive club for 'Members Only'...

Right, and to screw us money isn't enough, they also need a card!

The murderer hasn't got our card.

As long we are careful and aren't too generous.

We're a protected species, but the others?

...Facing extinction!

Our door is always locked at work. -Agreed?

You won't find anything here! They are all honest people...

Married, from good families, ...students!

'Hotel'

I haven't seen you around. How did you end up here?

In a competition.

I see you're from out of town. I need to report you.

You mean I'm being arrested?

No, not the first time. But if we catch you again...

...we won't be so nice to you.

What do you know about what's going on?

"She's still alive"

"She's trying to talk"

"Listen to what she's saying"

No, nothing.

Meet here tomorrow evening. We need to talk.

It could be the first and last time... -Of course, that's the job...

Horizontal in life and in death, what difference does it make?

If I knew I wouldn't have called. -Listen. I have a life as well...

...and it's important to me.

I'd prefer to think about it. -Monica and I are listening...

We have a private life, also. Maybe more important than yours.

Then you understand me? -No!

I brought it. -You're a good friend.

Just a colleague, because I get half of whatever he gives you.

The music may change but the tune stays the same.

It's hard for all of us, dear. Look, if he comes with you

then he can't be with me, can he? Still, he'll be with me less often...

So, why do I have to take the risk?

I've been thinking about the rates. A 300,000 Lira raise is enough, right?

You should be satisfied.

Well? -Okay, I agree.

Don't let me down.

Stella told me but I didn't believe her. -Stella told me it's 300,000 Lira.

What has she got to buy?! A fur coat? Jewellery?

No, my husband sells jewellery anyway. ...From home.

It's nothing so serious, even if it is tax-free.

So...he agrees then?

Don't be vulgar.

Where are we going?

Now? -Yes, now. Let's get this out of the way.

I don't know. We can go back to mine?

Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you.

I'll help you, eh?

We're so trusting of each other, Let's go.

'The general public applauds the police's actions'

'Whilst the killer isn't in custody, they have at least driven out...

a certain criminal element, and reduced prostitution.'

They're all against us now. The assassin is killing us,

the papers are spitting on us, and the police are all over us...

...instead of protecting us.

They've got to stop hassling us at work.

They've even taken my license away.

Whoever is in the same situation, raise your hand.

Well, even without a car I can still take a taxi to work.

I'll take a bus then... -All this because they still haven't caught him?

You know that if he'd attacked policewomen they'd...

...already have his identity by now.

We offer a service to the public as well. If this isn't discrimination!

Whoever sells their body gets treated very differently...

...in this dirty society. -Different? Like shit, you mean!

But they all need us, though. -Come, come. We'll make space.

Ladies, I'll see you on Thursday.

Try to smoke less, please! People have to work here.

She's right, try to smoke less.

There's also the matter of money, I don't know about you...

...but I've noticed a lot less demand. My daughter here can tell you.

Yes, it's true, even up to sixty percent. -You noticed as well, eh?

Certainly, the clients are as scared as we are.

This guys going to ruin us!

This assassin should be sentenced to death! -And then there's our confidence...

...I was always sure of myself before. I was prepared for everything...

and now we're all on high alert. Before, I would tell myself I wasn't...

...a prostitute. I could switch off like that.

Now, I can't. I'm there worrying and I feel so dirty.

I've got two daughters to raise, and I do this dirty job...

yes 'dirty'! - because we need to live.

Maybe tonight, or tomorrow night, I'll find myself working alone, in the dark...

...with him standing next to my freezing butt!

I came here to talk about this!

Where are you going? Wait.

If we were children then we could refuse sweets from a stranger...

...but we aren't children.

We need to accept sweets from strangers.

Any stranger could the be the killer.

He holds all the cards... But we can make life difficult for him.

Untill now he's preyed on the girls who were more isolated and defenceless...

...We need to find a new way of working. To organise ourselves and get the word around...

'All for one and one for all!'

It's called 'CS2' and it's made in France. It sends you to sleep instantly!

It looks like a deodorant...

It's illegal and you can get four years for this. I know how you can get one...

...They cost 70,000 Lira. You all want one?

Yes! -Yes, me too!

'K54 914'. - ...'K54 914'

12:10, If she's not back in 10 minutes I'll go and look for her.

Imagine if we were always this organised? So united!

Who knows? We could even start a political party.

I know we haven't always seen eye to eye...

...but now I hope we can all live in peace.

You can come out, we won't do anything.

From now on you can stare as much as you want!

It pleases us to know you are there. We feel safe!

Tell your friends as well, tell everyone. We're all okay with it.

Well, are you with us then? Do you want to form an alliance?

Here, to prove that we're being serious...

Don't just keep an eye on us, though. Look out for the assassin...

...and if you see him, then intervene!

Does it still hurt?

You know when I was younger I was also scared of the dentist.

You talk as if it was such a long time ago? -It was a long time ago.

You've got an admirer!

I took you to the dentist today, but this is the last time I'm babysitting for your mother.

Tell her.

What is it? Are you rebelling?

...or have you decided to change lifestyle?

You don't feel like talking to a kid about this stuff?

I understand, you're scared.

Of what? -I'm talking about the killer who is on the loose.

You said I was different to the others? -I know what you're thinking...

...Instead of being here I should be playing with my friends.

But I don't have any friends! My mother says I can't see them anymore.

I can't speak to anyone. -Why?

Because they aren't as grown up as me. I have to choose carefully...

...and now you're leaving me!

Go! Disappear and leave me alone.

Vale, listen...I -Waiter! The bill please.

I'll get it. -No, it's my birthday today.

Do you know what this ladies job is? -No.

Vale, I beg you... -She's a...

...babysitter!

Vale!

Listen Angela, what is your husband's name?

You know, I told you. -Yes, but there's four pages in the phone book!

What are you looking for?

Where were you before you came here?

I went to pay a bill? -How come?!

You know I only do it with you.

Me too, and I enjoy paying you because I know you don't take payments from others.

Remember that Angela.

Another one. -If I were you I'd stay off the drink for a while.

Please, give me another one. -You'll never change, will you?

No!

I'll never change.

You know what whores do now? They make flyers.

It says we should be more organised and stick together...

...Nobody can ever teach me how to be a whore!

Not even the prostitutes themselves!

I've been doing this for years so I don't have to be reliant on anyone else.

...And to be free. Yes Sir, free...

Even if the richest man in the world came along and offered me everything he had.

I wouldn't say yes to him...I won't give it to him.

And nobody can make me, understood?

Now, I must get back to the camp and work.

I'm not a young woman you know!

You're scared, eh?

it must have been an iguana!

You know, those lizards from South America.

They sneak into ships and hide in the cargo.

I'm not sure why, though. When they get here they all die...

...or worse, they end up in the hands of idiots like that.

Did you see him?

Hey! I asked you if you saw him?

You're not speaking to me, huh?

Who the hell are you...!?

I've promised him so many times that I'm only seeing him...

He's jealous of my husband!

He even slapped me.

Was he like that with you?

I've never been married.

I don't know what to do anymore? -You need to stop seeing him...

...Clients come and go. -Could you set me up with another one?

No, I won't be giving you anymore clients. -Why not?

Because you haven't understood anything. You aren't what you think you are...

You are just his lover. -But he always pays me!

More sometimes! That's no bad thing, my husbands jewellery business isn't doing well.

You aren't convinced are you?

You don't want to understand!

When a man drops his trousers, every now and then he loses some change.

I know a bit more than you.

Good Evening.

Now that she has arrived we may begin legal proceedings...

The administrator has noted that the participants are one above the amount required.

The judge declares the court open and nominates the president and senator in the case of...

Mr Francesci versus Ms Onorati. The discussion is now open...

Before we begin this discussion, we would appreciate a small donation to the church.

For the use of the premises, the lighting and the use of their seats. Thank You.

Madam, we have other things to do, and this isn't as simple as leaving a pram outside.

Don't think that we don't know why you receive visitors late into the night.

Until now we've put up with it... -But now we're scared!

Yes, we're also scared and we are honest people.

What if one of these men who come and see you at night is the assassin?!

Why don't you do your dirty work some place else?

You have no right to say this. It's my life, not yours.

Put yourself in our shoes, you're bringing the killer into our homes!...

-Evil lady! Tramp!

Thanks.

Hello?...Hello?

Are you the woman from the advert? -Yes, that's me.

Are you free tonight?

I think so. -I'm at the Park Hotel, Room 332.

Wait a moment.

Park Hotel...332. -Is eleven okay?

Are you alone? -Yes...why?

If you aren't alone, instead of doing all those things you want me to...

I'll give you hell, understood?

You'll also refund my taxi!

My dear child, I don't know what satisfaction you get out of being a hostess...

...always moving around. I'm so worried always thinking about you.

I imagine you're never in one place for very long.

What are you doing here? What do you want?

Judging by this advert you seem to be working from your telephone.

Anyone who uses their phone for commercial purposes is obligated to pay their respective fees.

Your new phone number will be installed at our business rate. If you want, I can show you the details.

Was it you who called from the Park Hotel? -In your anomolous situation you aren't alone...

You know how difficult it is keeping track of you all? Most of you are transvestites.

The phone isn't mine, it belongs to the residence. -You seem very intelligent...

There is an accord between intellingent people. -Certainly...

You want to fuck?

You've understood everything!

You're so beautiful.

Why did you say yes to the Park Hotel but you won't do it here!?

Because it isn't eleven yet!

I don't know if he's the maniac but I took his wallet. -Let me see.

Why did you come? -There was nothing on television.

This guy with the telephone came to me as well. -What did you do?

I was the usual idiot.

How is your daughter Vale? -Well, and you?

Send her my regards if you see her.

What is it?

Nothing.

Why? Can't I greet an old friend?

You two shake hands! We need to be united.

Enough of these childish games.

Calm down...Calm down, otherwise you'll all end up too nice!

This guy is going through all of the adverts, what if he does the same thing to me?

If nobody is there to help then I'll be dead... -No, that's not possible...

...So far ...(?)

One more thing. It was me who found Bruna, the woman who was killed in her car.

I was with a client and she was still moving... -One moment.

I need to turn over the cassette. -Here, we record everything!

Can I? -Please.

I'm sure she was trying to say something. I'm sure the client would have heard her.

I didn't, and then we got lost.

I know I should have told you all earlier, but...

Who was this client who was with you?

I don't know, a young guy around twenty five.

He had long black hair, a beard and an earring

A regular guy really. -Come here.

Sit down.

I used to be an artist, I can draw a portrait -I know a policeman...

I did him a favour once and now I see him every month. Last time we met he told me something in confidence...

The police aren't saying publically but they know what the killer is using as a weapon...

it's something so horrible...

It's a silenced pistol!

What are we? Beasts? -Yes, that's right!

Cows! That's what the killer is calling us!

Even cows can get fed up being mincemeat.

There are many of them and they have eyes and ears everywhere.

I've been trying to think who the butcher can be?

I think it's someone with a shallow sex life, disgraced perhaps?

It may be someone we see who only ever talks to us.

Or someone who feels derided or alone...

...so he kills.

I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Stella and I do the same job as you.

The police can't catch this killer by themselves.

What I'm trying to say is that only we can find the killer.

We must find him ourselves.

'A bit of red like that'

'Vanity'

'She will be jealous of me, without pity'

'Women like that, how can they?'

Do you mind if I talk? -No. Why would I?

Well just talk then.

You see, things are better now. We were at the zoological gardens photographing...

I won't ask anymore of you. Just this one photo with the red background...

No, no! Don't move...!

You aren't undressing? -Another twenty!

What is it? A whistle? -Yeah, it brings me good luck.

I also want a kiss.

I'll pay you double, come...

Listen, you're handsome. I like you! I'd really like to make love to you...

Come on, relax. Let's do it. You know what I think, let's go over to the grass and do it there.

Am I special? -Look, I've got everything.

Okay.

But I want you shoes so you don't run away.

Don't be nervous Vittorio, I'll deal with them.

This is a list of potential suspects. -Here are their ID's, passports and bank details.

As you can see, we also confiscate documents. -Inspector.

This is everything, it's all written down.

Good, thanks for this visit. Could you also get their fingerprints?

That's not a problem, they are always touching us.

Those CS sprays you're using are illegal. But...we'll can turn a blind eye.

Can I have one? I might need it when I go out at night.

For work, naturally.

That guy with the telephone is clean, he was at home with his wife the night of the murders.

The wife has confirmed this. He then packed his suitcase and left home.

We'll welcome him with open arms.

The husband had nothing to do with it, he was just some crazy guy.

Who knows how many freebies he's got? He should be castrated.

We're finished here. We've got other things to do Commissioner.

Inspector, Inspector Giusti. -Arrivederci.

One moment...

I was wondering if you could help me out with some other cases tomorrow?

We've made the peace with the guards, who knows, maybe we can do it with police as well?

You can start by giving us back our licenses. -And cancelling any charges against us!

I'll get it.

Good Evening. -Good Evening.

Excuse me calling so late, is your wife home?

Can I ask why?

Your wife comes to visit me sometimes, and I pay her very well...

Your wife persuaded me to buy something, she has very good business sense.

A bright shiny ring!

I pay her a rate and she collects accordingly. -Is this true, Angela?

Yes, it's true.

But I wanted to surprise you.

I came to collect it.

I followed you the other night.

Do you know why?

And this?

What'll you do? Return it?

No. Besides, we've already paid.

Maybe I was destined to be married and then engaged.

There's someone there!

Who could it be?

They'll go. It's probably the usual peeping-tom.

Or the assassin! He kills prostitutes.

You aren't one of them.

Listen, Angela...

I want you to live with me.

I'll think of everything.

Even your daughter.

Well?

What's your name? -0scar.

You know what my name is?

Nadine, because if I don't see any money, then 'Nada' (lit. Nothing)

Where are you from then?

Take these.

Listen...

You'll go home soon. I'll call you a taxi.

You write down the address and then give them this. Understood?

Hey, you don't know me.

You've never seen me, agreed? Agreed?

This....is you.

Now you're going to tell me what that woman said before she died.

Monica, can I interrupt a second, I need to tell you something important.

What is it? Has he killed again? -No, something else. Nadine found the witness.

One moment please. I'll be back straight away.

What are you still doing here? I told you to go home.

Get out of here!

Hello...Hello, Nadine? -So, you've heard then?

No, Cathy wants you to tell me. Hurry up!

I'll let him tell you then.

St...e....ll...a

Stella? -That's absurd!

Hello? So, you prefer to remain anonymous. You don't even like to show your face, but I found you...

Why?!... Because I am Inspector Giusti!

Listen, Stella, one of these days I'd like to take you out to dinner.

I'd really like that. it's up to you. I'm going now.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Who is this?

You don't know me. I found your number in the phonebook...

...I also work with the telephone. -What do you want?

My friend is sick but I don't want to see them by myself...

You'll see, they'll pay us very well.

You want me to substitute for your friend? -Yeah, if you could. These are difficult times.

Where is this place?

In a private residence, we'll meet at one.

Why don't the two of us meet first?

At the Commodore, you know it? -Yes, I know it.

Listen, what's your name? -Silvia.

Silvia.

Hi. -Finally, I can see you without your mask.

Maybe it was you with the mask today? -Let me give you a kiss...

I don't think so.

I warn you that if you're trying to court me, you're wasting your time.

I really don't have a hope?

No, why? With someone like me it isn't so difficult.

In fact, with someone like you it's a whole lot more difficult.

We've put ourselves in his hands then.

Weren't there any other policemen?

Look, you know this guy. Can we trust him? -Certainly, I don't know what you've got against Maurizio.

I understand...

You wanna screw this guy, don't you? Everyone understand now?

This is why you're dressed like that. Look...Look...!

What a whore!

You see Mother, It's been a while since I've wanted to tell you this...

I'm not a hostess like you thought I was. I'm very servicable, but not how you may think...

Who is he? Do you know him? -No.

What's a pretty girl like you doing all alone here? Can I offer you a drink?

Call me tonight, here's the number.

I'll call you! Don't worry, I'll definetely call you!

How did you find me? How did you get my number? -I was smart. I didn't even know your name!

It was the phrase you said as you left the station earlier.

I was a little thrown back by it.

I recognised you straight away, even with short hair.

The woman with short hair doesn't exist anymore.

All this interest in me. Does that make me a suspect? -No!

Only a madman would actually take seriously what that kid was saying.

My compliments by the way, I've already said it to the others.

If only we were as organised as you!

Very well, but you're not exactly sane yourself!

It will all be over shortly. -Don't change the subject.

Why not? It's your work. -Exactly.

I'd like to talk to you about other things. -Okay, but don't talk about love - that's my work!

Do you have any children? -No.

I'll never have them.

I've been sterilised.

Your battle with timidity results in your cynicism.

Why? Am I timid? -Yes.

You're right, but nobody ever notices. -You aren't the only one.

With you I'm so timid!

Why, do I scare you? -No!

Quite the opposite.

I'm just a novice.

Be careful. You may get burnt. (c) Cliche Foundation, 1937. GMBH.

12:10... -Typical woman, late as usual.

I wouldn't say she was a woman judging by the sound of the voice on the phone.

Who ever said we were sure? We've got so many friends like that it's hard to tell!

I can recognise them straight away. I never get them wrong.

Then why didn't you recognise my voice? -You...!

Ciao, Lena.

How are you? -What are you doing here?

I was passing and I saw you from outside. I wanted to say hello.

Don't sit down. Look, this isn't the right time.

We could get an ice-cream together. Just like old times.

Vale, I am waiting for someone very important. We'll get the ice-cream another time.

Just a moment, when he arrives I'll leave. Okay?

We really don't need this, shall I send her away? -No, maybe it's better like this.

It all seems more innocent. More normal.

Let's just hope they come.

Even kids are getting involved now.

Who is she? -She's a pain.

Are you really called Monica?

I can't believe it.

Where do you think she learnt the little French that she knows?

In Branca's house.

You're just pulling my leg!

Okay, let's tell her the truth...

Why don't you go and play some tennis? -I've already been.

You can't stay here! This isn't a place for children.

Who is she? -She's Isa's daughter.

I say they aren't coming. Maybe this 'Silvia' changed her mind. It's all so complictated.

Hello?

Who do you want? Who... Look, you've got the wrong number.

I'm going to see what she's doing in the bathroom.

What shall we do then? -...If you don't know?

Let's go then. -No, I'll wait here. I have an appointment.

I understand. -No! It's not what you are thinking.

It's someone looking to buy a home, and as I am selling mine...

...with a certain unrgency.

Here he is.

Vale?

Vale?

Vale, are you there? -Yes.

How are you? I'm sorry for before, I didn't want to upset you.

I'm a lot better now, don't worry. It was all my fault.

No! It wasn't our fault. Listen, when we go up I'll buy you a chocolate, okay?

I'm washing my face and coming out.

Vale...? Are you ready?

Vale, what's wrong? Do you feel sick?

Vale?

'Whore'

We can go.

Be good! I won't hurt you. I'll give you a lovely present after...

What do you want? What do you want the most? Come on, tell me! A toy?

...Some sweets? No, you're too old. You'll see...I won't hurt you!

Where is Lena? Isn't she coming? -Lena is in the toilet with that little girl.

And Stella? -Stella has an appointment with someone else.

Stella filante... (Lit. a falling star) ...Stella filante!

That's what she was trying to say. That's why nobody came!

Because he's already in there!

Your mother told me you'd be a good person, but you've forced me to be bad!

Now I'm going to hurt you, but don't worry, it won't last long. You won't feel a thing.

You'll see, it won't last long...

You'll see, I won't hurt you, I'll get you such a lovely present!

A toy? Do you want sweets? No, you're grown up now!

Who wants a sweet?

Thanks.

'You must help others, in order to help yourself' -Montenne!

You've studied, eh?

I was thinking we could all see each other again. Now we've broken the ice, it would be a shame not to.

Our problems are many, it isn't just maniacs.

They want to kick me out of my home. -And you?

I...I don't think I'll sell my home in the end.

I wanted to say something. Why don't we have more of these meetings round mine?

We could start our own newspaper. -I'd like to do the classifieds, for 'Nadine'.

How does that sound? -It sound great!

So much smoke! Are you crazy? There is a patient here.

Who's the patient? I'm smoking as well, besides, there's nothing wrong with me.

Quiet. -Let's listen.

'The assassin was a young girl and the police have only revealed her initials V. A...

V.A. was a child prostitute, or a 'falling star' as they call them in those circles...'

'A star.'

'Fall...ing...'

'A part-time prostitute who was forced to sleep with older men by her mother...'

I can only be with certain types of people.

Her life has almost certainly been ruined as she faces her future behind bars.

'In this case there was a clear breakdown of her mental state, leading to her insanity...'

'The little girl is now in a specialist unit.'

In my country this happens all the time, girls as young as nine or ten...

In my country, you're either a nun or... -Yeah, there always sisters.

'Let's speak to Dr. Maura Passi from the institute.'

How can these things happen?

'Many prostitutes her age become schizophrenic.'

'It derives from an obsession with sex and affection.'

It's a mental fracture that, if it is not cured, can lead to severe mental illness.

'I think she killed the prostitutes to try and eliminate the prostitute in her.'

'Deep down she has always remained innocent and pure.'

'In time she may recover.'

The arrest occured in a bar in the centre of the city.

Thanks to the help of a young prostitute called Marilena Falco, twenty three years old, from Prato.

We must also send our thanks to the teams of prostitutes and their alliance set up to stop the killer.

Without their invaluable assistance the police would never have been able to trap the killer.

I'm sorry if I forgot your name, we here at the hospital.. -...Have been a royal pain!

There's no problem now. We've done so much we've nothing to be ashamed of anymore.

We've done everything like a family.

Even the assassin was a sister like us.

Actually, she was more like a kid sister.

Miss, it's cold out here. -Yes. Let's go.

'I've been bad, but who knows? Sincerely, I don't know.'

'Whoever told me to stop or not? So I thought to myself, I keep going as long as my heart beats.'

'Because life is a beautiful flower, Forward, forward up to the sea....'

'With that idea it gives you, and you with the eyes of the sea,'

'How can you think that I'll stop here?'
