Original subtitles

- I'm going, Nelide, I'll see you tonight. - Have a good day, gentlemen'.

- What about these ? - Flowers. I put them to dry in paper.

-Why don't you throw them away ? -I "stash" them. I store them. -Why?

-If you care about something, you stretch it, you don't let it spoil or rot. -Ah.

- You are the same as your Aunt Rosa, the same "miss controversy." - What ?

Never mind, today I am the one who doesn't understand himself. See you later.

Another year has passed

And you find yourself old without knowing how it happened.

Wouldn't that be bad, eh ?

Everyone gets old, but growing old alone is dramatic.

What a belly ! The holidays are an exaggeration, you eat too much.

Lucky you who can only think about these things.

Why ? What should I think about ?

Don't worry, nothing. I do worry about everything in this house.

Unnecessarily !

Is he getting back into the swing of things with Manfred ?

Not yet.

He is circling around it, though. It's a matter of time.

What is it ?

Father, I must confess something to you.

To Luigi Alfredo I can't bring myself to blame him.

You can't hold a grudge To anyone, and I am proud of that.

What a beautiful pairing, father and daughter !

They have the same dough And they think I can't hear them.

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

Madonnina, I feel like dying....

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

Commissioner ? Commissioner ?

- Ardisio, good morning. - What were you were you looking at, if I may ask ?

Nothing, I was thinking.

-What are you doing here? -I came to looking for you, a murder. -Make way.

It's that way.

- Raphael, good morning. - Good morning, commissioner.

The dead man is the owner of the pharmacy, Raffaele Ammaturo.

Only. you should see how he died.

Something never seen.

- Who found the body ? - Wait. Piscitiello ?

- Ué, are you staying at the market ? - Excuse me. - He's the pharmacist's helper.

- Say what you said to me. - Yes. I...

I arrived as usual... early in the morning.

The pharmacy was open.

I thought inside was Dr. Ammaturo, as usual.

I went in and ... And I...

I saw.

- Oooh... - Ué ! What's going on? - Bring him a glass of water.

- I'm going in to see. - You're welcome, commissioner.

(Why me ? Just you !)

(Why me ? Just you !)

Why me ? Just you !

(Why me ? Just you !)

Have the corpse taken away And notify Dr. Modo.

Under orders.

- Have you already asked any questions around ? - Yes, nobody knows anything.

This Ammaturo seems to be a very good person.

He used to give away medicine to those most in need

And he was giving credit without any problems.

- Habits ? Enemies ? - No, he led a secluded life, went out very little.

All home and work. Maybe we can be able to know a little more

As soon as the helper is better. - Sure. Go back to the police station.

- I'm going to Bruno to see if he can tell us anything. - All right.

Ardisio.

My glass is crying.

(in German) Thank you. (in German) You're welcome.

(German accent) I'm worried. - About what?

What I will tell you Must remain between us.

Do you trust me ?

Yes. You are the only person I can trust.

In Germany, Adolf Hitler is gaining more and more power.

Does this worry you ?

I don't know why they don't understand how dangerous it is.

He could lead Germany to ruin.

What can you do ?

I have already exposed myself enough with the party

And I will continue to do that in order to stop it

But I feel more and more lonely.

Be careful, though.

Don't worry.

I only have you now.

And I -- I won't leave you.

I must return to Rome immediately.

They ask me for news. What do I report ?

Say I am ready.

Very good, that was what I wanted to hear.

But it will take time.

This is not a simple thing In the mode that we need.

This is not a problem.

Just one thing.

When the operation is completed

I will not aspire to become head of the party structure in Naples.

I demand it as a reward.

There will be no obstacles. I assure you.

Luke.

Constable simple Felice Vaccaro, brigadier, at your orders.

- Brigadier Raffaele Maione. - Nice to meet you.

I'm new, taking up service today, available.

Relax, get familiar with the environment

Then there will be ways to do. - You are right.

I just -- I can't wait. I dream of this uniform as a child.

I understand you, I have a son the same like you. He dreams of being a policeman.

He is also looking forward to it. Then I had another one... Who is it ?

- Brigadier, you are here ! - What has happened ? - There's been a robbery.

- Where ? - To the neighborhoods. - That figures. Let's go.

- Should I come too ? - Do you want to stay here, do you want to rest ?

Shall I get you a coffee, a sfogliatella ? Come on, get to work !

I'll tell you what -- come along.

At your orders, brigadier !

Cami', I'll leave it here. Can you get off by yourself.

- Yes. - You're being discharged tomorrow. - Bruno ?

- Who is it? Ué, Riccia'! - Good morning.

- In the other room is Camillo, Lina's son. - How come?

> He is recovering from a bad fall, now doing better.

- What about the pharmacist ? - Yes, then...

The death occurred last night.

They hit him from behind with this awl

the same one we found found lodged in his forehead.

-It's a shoemaker's awl. -A cobbler's ? -Yes, cobbler's.

A somewhat definitive way to make someone's shoes, isn't it ?

Instead, the blindfold ?

- The bandage... Are you in a hurry ? - No. - Sit down for a minute.

The bandage was put on the forehead after death

Or it had to be much more soaked with blood.

- Even the awl Was put in later. - After death.

Brigadie', this is the third time they've come to rob me !

- I think they are always the same. - Can you describe them ?

Brigadier, what shall I describe ? They arrive masked, with scarves.

They are three, very fast ! They are experts, they don't make you understand anything

And they steal everything !

- Vaccaro. - Command, brigadier. - You do the investigation of this case.

Go around, ask questions, get organized and let me know.

Under orders. I got it.

- Mom. - Eh.

Now that the holidays are over, Does Benedetta have to leave ?

My darling, what do I know? As long as they don't tell us anything, stay with us.

- Is it already known where it will go ? - We don't decide.

Brigadier, tomorrow I continue to get information.

- Surely someone knows something, so we get them. - All right.

- Commissioner, good evening. - Same to you.

- So ... see you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.

The new agent.

He seems like a good "goon."

I understand that you like it.

This morning when I saw him ... he looked like Luca to me.

It has something about Luke.

Enthusiasm.

Yes.

- Bianca ! It's good to see you again. - Sorry, if I lead you under the house.

- I couldn't get through to the Commissary. - Don't worry.

It's been a while. How are you? How is Carlo ?

He is better. I moved into his house and ...

He feels guilty, would like to protect me from gossip.

He really loves you, however, you made a better choice.

I passed because I couldn't resist.

Enrica.

- Have you declared yourself ? - I tell you.

The commissioner also entertains himself with the other women.

What are you saying, mama !

- She is a friend of his. - Yes, friend, right !

I no longer want to see him even from a distance.

He just has to hope I don't meet him on the street.

In the end I found nothing better to do than run away.

- Quite a disaster. - That's the right word.

You can fix it, though.

You go back to them and explain.

With what face, Bianca ?

- Maybe it's for the best, it's a sign of fate. - Don't overdo it.

Commissioner, it is not like you to give up because of a bad figure.

Bad figure is little, however, thank you for the encouragement.

Are we ready ? Are we eating ?

Dad!

Come on, sit down, it's time to eat.

What about you? Aren't you coming to say hello ?

Here we are ! Shall we eat ?

Why is it that when it's a holiday there is a place always free ?

There sat my brother Luca Who is now gone.

And so ... he sees from the sky That you keep his place ?

Uh, yeah.

Bravo, just like that.

- Shall we eat ? - Yes. - Let's eat. Who wants it? Anto', come here.

Why me ? Just you !

Commissioner.

(Why me ? Just you !)

- Commissa. - What is it? - The helper has arrived

But he doesn't want to go inside. He says it makes an impression on him.

All right.

Why me ? Just you !

Dr. Ammaturo has always treated me well. He paid on time

Was generous and not only to me, I'll tell you again.

- He had no enemies. - However. they killed him, Piscitiello

And you also saw in what a terrible way. - Yes.

I know, commissa And I can't believe it.

Come on, Ammaturo had to have something strange, make an effort !

What do I know ?

Maybe one thing, but it is of little importance.

- We decide whether it is important or not, talk. - In short.

When it was evening...

he would -- he would make me leave before the closing

even if they needed help for some clients.

- Haven't you ever wondered why? - What do I know ?

Perhaps he wanted to keep secret the mixtures he prepared

Maybe he thought I was spying on him.

I repeat, Dr. Ammaturo was kind.

- Count Montidori is ill. - What's that got to do with it ?

It's so you can understand what a person he was.

He used to take his medicine all the way home !

Commissioner ! Sorry, commissa' !

Cesara', what do you have to apologize for ?

-I ran from the Commissariat to here. -Speak in installments.

- If you don't tell me why you are here, I will kick you ! - Murder.

The tenant of a brothel, a woman named Wanda, was murdered.

Let's go, Raphael. Keep yourself available.

- You're welcome, commissa. - Let's go. - Go, go.

Come on, go inside !

- He's here. - One moment. "Wipe" your shoes before entering.

- What do you say? We are the public security. - What's that got to do with it?

When your colleagues come to have fun, they clean their shoes.

- So. - All right.

Is this okay ?

- That's okay. - Thank goodness !

- Poor Mrs. Wanda. - Is that the name of the victim ?

- The keeper of the house, a saint. - Figure.

- That way? - Yes. - No, you wait with me. Please, commissioner, go.

(I have a young lady).

(Young Young.)

(I have a young lady. young lady.)

(I have a young lady).

(Young Young.)

I have a young lady... young young lady.

- Maione ? - Here I am, commissa.

Madonna mia !

Is it the same murderer ?

What does a madam of a brothel with a pharmacist ?

That's what we need to find out.

Good morning.

Bruno.

Fate is ironic, eh ? I used to go to brothels for fun

To feel less lonely and now ...

make me remember only the one woman I have loved in my life.

-They make me feel more lonely. -I'm sorry, sorry. -What about it?

-You don't decide where people die. -Like the pharmacist.

I have a young lady... young young lady.

Raffae', let's hear from the girls.

I'll go right away.

I have a young lady... young young lady.

No, commissa. Two girls were sleeping, the others were getting ready.

I would check the groceries for lunch.

The girls eat here, all first-rate stuff.

Mrs. Wanda treated them like daughters.

I was staying in my room, with Maria.

At that time there is little traffic, the men are working. There was no one there.

- A few soldiers, but there was no one. - I was with a customer.

- Yes, a customer ! - Actually, we didn't see anything at all.

- I was asleep. - Rosa was asleep. Actually I heard a cry.

I thought it was Serafina with her lover. Sometimes you go too far.

Yes, I was with a client, a student, a kid

But I didn't shout, otherwise he would be frightened.

- Here no one saw who entered before the murder. - No, no one.

Whatever. Bruno ?

- What about it ? - The hand that killed is the same.

This time, too, the blindfold was put on the eyes after death.

-What time did this happen? -This morning, when there was little movement.

Brothel in the morning and pharmacy in the evening.

Study his moves well.

- You are wrong to stay too long inside the house. - Mama, please.

Let's put it here.

Look I'm right.

When you went out and went Ischia, you met Manfred.

Have you seen ? Of men there are as many as you want.

- Sir. - Two coffees, please.

However, I decided.

From now on, we need to show up around more often.

- You are married. - What a rude joke.

You know I do it for you.

- Whatever, I'm going to go away for a moment. - I'll accompany you.

No, stay here.

Take care not to confide in to anyone until I come back.

- Enrica. - Yes ? - I saw you From the street, you and your mother.

-I should talk to you. -Tell me. -Not have much time. May I ? -Please.

I am only here to tell you that Louis Alfred loves you, he really does.

- Much more than you can imagine. - What do you know about it ?

He rejected me some time ago, for you.

Do you really mean it ?

I know what happened in your house, he told me.

- Yes, I have seen you. - Let me finish.

I am certain that something is haunting him

something that prevents him from allowing himself to be happy.

Yes, that's right.

You must stand by him, you must try to understand his pain.

Enrica ... for love one fights. and if one truly loves

You break down all obstacles. Believe me.

I'd better go.

Wait.

- What is your name? - Bianca. - Thank you, Bianca.

[MUSIC FROM GRAMOPHONE]

Clara ?

Clara ?

- Ma'am. - What is this music ? - I don't know.

- I want to go out. - Yes.

- Did you put this record in ? - No. No, ma'am.

It's my husband's record.

Did you put it on the gramophone ?

I don't know what to tell you, ma'am. I don't even know how to do it.

- Clara, don't lie to me. - Ma'am, really, I would tell you.

- I thought it was you. - Did it turned on by itself ? - I don't know...

Then someone came in. Somebody came in...

- Go and see if anyone has entered ! - Yes, I'll go.

Commissa', it occurs to me that the killer was using

both of the pharmacy and the brothel. - Yes, of course.

It is not clear what is the connection between the two victims.

Both the brothel and the pharmacy are frequented by many customers

People who come and go. How can we tell who it is ?

Let's do this.

Let's divide the tasks, we will adjourn later or in the morning.

- I go to the Count of Montidori. - The pharmacist would bring him medicine.

-Maybe I can get them to tell me something more. You go... -I've already figured it out.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Who are you looking for? - The Count of Montidori.

Now he is alone, I don't know if he receives without his son.

- This is Commissioner Ricciardi, public safety. - Ah.

Excuse me, commissioner, I will accompany you. Come.

[COUGHS]

Forgive me, Count, there is Commissioner Ricciardi for you.

- Commissioner. - Count. - Please.

- Forgive the unexpected visit. - Imagine, I am always alone.

I guess the reason of your visit.

- You have come for poor Dr. Ammaturo. - Exactly.

-I know he used to frequent your home. -Frequenting is a big word.

This palace is attended only by me, my son and the servants.

May I ask why ?

[SPEAKS FRENCH]

I have French evil, as they hypocritically say.

Syphilis, the price of a life somewhat carefree.

That's why the doctor used to bring you medicine.

He would do me this courtesy, but he would never would ever stop, not even for coffee.

You are welcome.

He used to tell me that he was in a hurry to get back to work

although I think it was embarrassment...

To see myself reduced to this state.

Embarrassment ?

Commissioner, people do not like disease, suffering, pain

or the knowledge that you are looking at a man, who although young

no longer has much to live for. They move away.

My son, too, is uncomfortable.

He is ashamed of me.

- What can you tell me about Dr. Ammaturo ? - He is a good person.

He was a good person, generous.

A man who had chosen for himself his loneliness

not like me Who have an imposed loneliness.

I think you refer to the possibility that he had enemies.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any.

Sorry.

- Good morning ! - No, I don't need anything, thank you.

He doesn't know what he is losing. Good morning ! Looking for me ?

Come in, brigadier !

Take a seat. I made you find some pastries as well.

Serve yourselves without compliments.

- Girls', how did you know I was coming ? - Eh, Jesus !

First they kill the pharmacist, then poor Wanda

both of them with an awl in the forehead. I thought you were coming earlier.

Also.

Poor Wanda did not deserve such an end.

- Why ? - How why ? No one deserves to be killed.

I marvel at you who ask such questions.

However, Wanda was a jewel of a female.

He treated the girls in the house like daughters.

He never denied them pay Nor did he steal the percentages.

- A true saint ! - This is close, brigadie.

So he had no enemies.

And who doesn't have any, brigadie.

However, no news has come from these parts to that effect.

Did I say it right ? "In that sense" !

I have a new client who is a professor, he is very, very gifted.

I don't want to know these things, you know, they impress me !

"Gifted" in the sense of language polished. What did you understand ?

Pure scribe he "learned" it for me.

Instead, the pharmacist...

The pharmacist, on the other hand, ... continue.

Contrary to what people, he had his vices

And also very ugly. - Explain yourself better.

Sometimes in the evening he would stay alone in the pharmacy

And received a few visitors.

What kind of visits ?

Brigadie', life is very hard.

There are people who can't get their lunch and dinner.

They can barely make one meal a day.

- Others, however, do just hunger, the black hunger. - So what ?

Then. For these people who are starving

bring a daughter, also "piccirilla"

From a "ratty" pharmacist

who pays to make the crap that he likes

And to leave it for a few hours....

can even be considered a fortune.

You say that the pharmacist paid for...

Then the pharmacist was just. just...

- A man of shit, brigadie' ! - Bravo.

You are cured, get ready, I will discharge you.

Be sure not to steal, get a job.

- Who gets me? - Camillo, don't play the victim with me.

- You search hard And you find a job. - Yes ?

With these rags and son of N.N. ?

Still want to blame your mother ?

Doc, but have you understood or not That I have repented ?

If you don't believe me, that's okay. This is my life, isn't it ?

Bravo.

Doc, what do you know About how I grew up ?

In the middle of the street It's bludgeoning every day.

If you show weakness, it's more beatings. Beatings and loneliness !

What loneliness ? You had Lina, your mother.

I didn't see my mother because my grandfather didn't want her in the house.

He would go in to get four pennies And then he would kick her out !

A caress from my mom I don't even remember her.

Then take it up with your grandfather, not your mother.

I know.

Now I know.

Now it is too late, isn't it ?

Is it too late, what can I do ?

Doc, I just want to honor my mom as she deserves

With an honest life. - And I am supposed to believe you ?

Whether you want to believe me or not, this is the truth.

Get ready, we have to leave the vacancy.

Good evening, Nelide.

Good evening.

Aunt Rosa, I know I have to invent something, but I don't know what.

(in Neapolitan) Where you don't go, you don't go again.

The pharmacist was a dirty stinker, respectfully speaking.

Definitely, but the point is another.

The two victims had nothing to do with each other, they did not know each other

But the killer is the same. The motive is one.

Good morning, commissioner. Comfortable, comfortable.

I just wanted to warn you that the whole town is talking about the double murder.

I can't let too much time pass before catching a culprit.

The good name of of public safety

Which, for your information, I run. - We know that, doctor.

- In fact, we are investigating. - I know, commissioner, but I'm not enough.

I would not like to receive an unpleasant phone call.

By the way. Countess Palmieri di Roccaspina for you.

He left this behind. I imagine that it is an invitation to dinner.

Brigadier, our commissioner is a lucky man.

- Brigadier ! - What do you want ? Can't you see we're working ?

Excellency, forgive me. There has been another robbery.

- But where ? - In a store downtown, they are always the same.

You want my end ! My reputation is thrown to the nettles

Why you people cannot put an end crime in this city !

As I have ordered you. And now to work !

At work ? What are we doing ?

- I'm sorry, I... - Don't worry about it.

To solve the problem patrols are needed

With the permission of the commissioner. - Sure.

Vaccaro, you set it up. Take turns of patrols in the affected areas

And show them to me. - You got it! With permission.

- Gaetano, good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning, sir. - Who are you ?

- You know, you saw me Through the window. - I don't remember.

It's okay. I am Nelide, I am in the service of the Baron of Malomonte.

- Who ? (in Neapolitan) "The most ugly misfortune is the bad neighbor."

I am talking about Baron Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi of Malomonte, he lives here

And he came to have coffee with you before Christmas. - Is he a baron ?

- Without hat and dress so bad ? - Signo, listen to me.

The baron owns half of Cilento and is rich and important.

He does not care about clothing because our men are made this way

are real men, not like these you have here.

My mister is something else.

(in Neapolitan) "How is the bird builds the nest." - It's baron...

is rich and is a commissioner of labor ? -Yes, out of justice and goodness.

He could stay in the castle in the village to live off his riches

But for him toil is a mission. - A castle ?

-Does it also have a castle ? -There is a countess and a widow who are very rich

that he rejects For your daughter Enrica.

The beauties go walking And riches go running out.

For years they have been looking out the window

he truly loves her, as a noble and serious man.

With permission.

A castle...

My daughter becomes baroness...

So do I.

Mamma mia !

What happened ? What is this smile that warms more than the sun ?

Did I say something wrong ?

No, no.

Excuse me.

Today is a good day, but don't make a habit of it.

I'm almost done, Mama.

Finish later.

We need to talk.

Let's talk.

Did you know that the commissioner is a baron ?

- Have you asked for information about him ? - It doesn't matter.

- Did you know that ? - Of course. - Why didn't you tell me anything ?

I didn't think it was necessary.

I am in love with him, but not because he is a baron.

You're right. That's all that matters.

I didn't understand. What do you want to tell me ?

That if you really care about him and he cares for you

I am willing to wait until he doesn't decide to ask you to be his wife

without making a fuss.

- How can I serve you ? - Good morning.

How long have you had this store ?

Since I was born.

Before me it was my father's And before that it was my grandfather's.

- Do you have any repairs to do ? - No, I'm just curious.

I will take up little of your time. Is it difficult to to obtain these punches ?

Any master builder can make them.

- Why do you have so many ? - They are never enough.

The more there are, the less a blind person like me has a hard time looking for them.

- How do you do work ? - Touch and memory, excellence.

Touch and memory.

Ma'am, Dr. Greco is here.

- Dr. Greco ? - He says it's for a visit.

Ah, maybe it's for Manfred. Send him in.

You are welcome.

Bring me a glass of water, please.

- Good evening, ma'am. - Good evening. - Forgive the delay.

On the phone I promised to come earlier, but patients are piling up.

- On the phone ? - You called me about that problem of yours.

- What problem ? - You have told me to... feel distressed.

No, I don't remember.

Amnesia is typical of a picture of nervous exhaustion.

Rest assured.

I have prescribed these drops to several patients with excellent results.

Best not to mix.

These will make you feel better.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Bianca, forgive the delay. I will be the last one.

You are the first-and the only one.

[COUGHS] -They are beautiful, thank you. -Figures.

- Duke, glad to see you again. - Baron dear, welcome.

I'm going to alert the kitchen that we are ready.

(sotto voce) No one showed up.

I grieve for Bianca.

How is this possible ? Was there a misunderstanding ?

Let's say that my guests were were wary of accepting...

my invitation. - I don't understand.

The rumor going around the environment since Bianca moved here

Is that she and I would be two concubines.

This is absurd.

Baron dear

I have fought imbeciles and bullies all my life.

- They found a way to make me pay for it. - I feel responsible.

You exposed yourselves to save me From those infamous charges.

- Sorry. - Water under the bridge.

I think of Bianca, she doesn't intend retracing her steps.

She is my worry. The shame That they can make her feel

even though she is wonderful, she is strong. About the rest I don't care.

I can do without some people, as I have always done.

Shall we set the table ?

Of course.

It's all for us.

Hello !

Enrica !

What are you doing here at this time ?

I saw you come back in. I also have my mother's permission.

- Really ? - Yes, he encouraged me to come and talk to you.

It is not possible, I thought that he didn't want to see me anymore.

In fact, he told me to tell you to take it easy

And to take all the time you need.

A miracle happened.

More than a miracle Has heard that you are a baron.

It's strange, I didn't tell him.

You must excuse me.

What ? No, I have to apologize to you, I behaved very badly.

I should have rebelled but instead I stayed and waited

my mother's permission. - What could you do ?

That friend of yours is right, Bianca.

It made me realize how important I am to you.

It opened my eyes.

He said that when you love someone, you have to fight.

- Did you talk to Bianca ? - Yes, I met her by chance.

In my opinion, he made sure that we met.

- Sorry ! - No... - You can't understand how happy I am! - So am I.

Have your mother choose a date, I will ask for your hand officially.

- Tomorrow night ! - Yes. - Yes? - Yes.

Yes ! Yes !

Good evening, Nelide !

Well ? Now you don't say hello anymore ?

Excuse me, gentlemen'. You have a smile, after a long time...

Yeah. Who knows whose credit that is.

How should I know ?

- Don't you know anything at all ? - What should I know ?

Eh ! Maybe you talked about me with someone...

Me ? With all I have to do !

Maybe -- without intention, that is.

a few words slipped out, I don't know that they understood.

(in Neapolitan) "With the wind in the wind, everyone is master."

I joke, But you really look just like your aunt.

I am very fortunate To have you here with me. Thank you.

- Sorry, I keep making the cake for tomorrow. - Yes, for goodness sake.

From our surveillance reports it clearly emerges

your inclination to pederasty.

Ricciardi, I was really looking for you.

Good morning, Your Excellency, tell me.

With regard to the two murders that you are investigating

the case is to be considered archived.

For what reason ?

We cannot know, they are provisions that come from above

to which we have an obligation to adhere to.

So we let a murderer go free, he may return to killing !

We can rest assured.

It is taken care of by men and forces we can rely on.

Ricciardi, is a group of people who move

On a different scale from yours and also from mine

We only have to obey.

I hope you have understood me.

Crazy stuff ! Why do we have to stop ?

I saw coming out of the Commissariat a hierarch I know very well.

- Did the order come from him ? - I don't know, maybe he's just a spokesman

However, there is something going on, maybe someone who needs to be protected.

All right.

So what do we do ?

We have to be inconspicuous for a while.

We pretend to comply with regulations.

- Here it is, I ironed it. - Thank you.

- What about the tie ? - It's a tie. - Dark suit and dark tie ?

(in Neapolitan). "On scalding the boiling water."

- Nelide, but... (in Neapolitan) "Without lightning here it doesn't thunder."

Madam, I'll do it. You called me on purpose.

Yes, you are right. Make sure you do things right.

Tonight comes the baron who marries My daughter becoming a baroness.

- It's your turn. - I know, one moment.

- Five and two, seven. Broom And also sevenfold. - No, whatever !

No more, I don't play anymore.

[BELL] Who is it ?

- Hey! What are you doing here? - Good evening, brigadie', forgive me for the hour

But I finished the shift plan for robberies. - You would bring it to me tomorrow.

- Whatever, come in. - Don't worry, I don't want to disturb you.

I will leave it with you and you read it at your leisure and tell me tomorrow.

- Come in, we look at it together. Have a seat. - With permission. - Please.

- Good evening. - Good evening. - Excuse me, too.

This is Lucia, my wife, he is Felice Vaccaro, newcomer.

- Honored, ma'am. - Have a seat. - Will you make us coffee? - Sure.

Sit down, let me see this plan.

Here you go, brigadier.

[BELL]

Good evening, ma'am.

- Here is our dear baron. Please be seated. - Thank you.

Clelia, the coat and the baron's hat.

Silly me. The hat is of no use, is it, Baron ?

Please call me Luigi Alfredo or commissioner, if you prefer.

- Knight. - Commissioner.

Enrica.

Enrica, make the baron sit down.... Luigi Alfredo.

(sotto voce) What class, what modesty, a true nobleman.

Mah... the shifts seem to me to be organized well.

- Bravo. - Duty, brigadier.

- How many people does it take ? - I was thinking five, six at the most.

If everyone moves continuously and everyone covers a good area

Let's get those "scurnaces." Forgive me, ma'am, it just slipped out.

Have you not tasted the fried calzones ?

- I am satiated. Everything tastes great. - They are very light.

I fried them, obviously with Enrica's help.

Julius, tell the baron how Enrica cooks.

She's really good, but maybe the commissioner doesn't want to weigh himself down.

She takes after me and her grandmother. In my family

he always cooked himself very well, in his a little less so. -A little less.

You are accustomed To a noble's kitchen.

No, I am used to the Cilento cuisine, it is very popular.

Eat the calzone.

Did I say something wrong ?

Cavalier Colombo, Mrs. Maria...

- I officially ask you for the hand of your daughter Enrica. - Luigi !

Ué.

Mari', on.

Are you all right, madam ?

Eh !

- You did a good job, good job. - Thank you, brigadier.

Coming from you is an honor.

- Easy, you get hurt ! - Good evening. - Good evening. - It will be ready soon !

How many children do you have ? Beautiful !

I also want such a family.

-I am Giovanni. -Nice to meet you, Felice. -I'm going to be a policeman, too. -Good.

With the example you have at home, you will be a great policeman.

-I'm off the hook. -You're not having dinner with us? Time has come and gone. -Remain !

- We are pleased with it. - Don't push it, maybe the young man is busy.

Yes, the lady is right. I have an appointment.

Hot date ?

-You're right. It will be for the next time, I'm counting on it. -Thank you, brigadier.

- I will accompany you. - Ma'am, goodbye. - Goodbye.

- See you tomorrow, eh ? - A tomorrow, brigadier. Thanks again.

Father, I want to become like him.

And like you, of course.

Baby, are you going to wash your hands ? No more homework, we're going to the table.

Mom and dad are happy, if they see me studying.

- Who tells you these things ? - I have realized that they are looking down on me.

Let's set the table, huh? Come on!

- I'm going to go and wash my hands. - Yes.

Go, Giova. Blessing, help me set the table.

- Good morning, Andrea. - Good morning, baron.

- Welcome to Fortino. - Thank you ! - Thank you again.

It is beautiful !

- How exciting ! - Come.

We could come and live here, when you stop working.

- I could teach. - Are you already thinking about when we will be old ? - Sometimes.

It's strange, it's like I want to live everything that's going to be

Our whole life together.

Meanwhile, I take you into the past.

Come.

Nanny Rosa used to sleep here.

Close to me because...

This instead... is my room from when I was a child.

- It's beautiful. - Yes.

- Did you have two beds ? - I had a choice.

No, in one maybe nanny slept Or my mother, when she was lonely.

- Below what is it ? - Find out. - May I ? - Yes.

- Everything is the same. - You have preserved everything, you have done well.

Here, however, I was studying, I read, I wrote, everything is as it was.

You can tell it is a house full of memories.

Many beautiful.

It moves me a little bit.

It's just beautiful.

It is good that you are here.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you... so much.

- It's cold. - Yes.

- Better ? - Yes.

Case closed. Why ?

What do they want to hide ? We have to understand this and also the reason

but to do that we have to go back to the two victims

Who had no relationship with each other.

However, they had to have something that united them.

- Something that bothered someone. - Certainly the killer.

Maybe it's the same thing that bothers those who blocked us

To those who stopped the investigation. We need to find that link.

Bonding.

- What is it ? - Sorry, commissa, I was watching you

But despite all the problems we we have, a difficult investigation...

Do you have a light in your eyes that ... Has something happened ?

It's the eye of the policeman, you don't miss a thing.

Yes, I got engaged officially to Enrica.

This is good news !

Bravo, you deserve it. Are you getting married now ?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]. Come in.

Pardon, commissa, there is a fire in a restaurant.

You could have called the fire department, not us.

They say it is not a fire by misfortune, it was done on purpose.

Do I still call the fire department ?

Everybody out, please.

[OVERLAPPING VOICES]

Aaah...

(- Who was it? - The young gentleman, there in the middle).

(Who was it ? The "spanzo.")

(Who did it ? The spanzo.)

Who was it? The spanzo !

(Madonna mia ! Madonna ! What is happening?)

(Madonna mia ! Madonna ! What is happening?)

Madonna! What's going on?

(- The spanzo ! - There in the middle. The spanzo, there in the middle.)

(The young man, there in the middle).

- The little mister, there in the middle. - Aaah... Aaah...

(The young man, there in the middle).

(The young man, there in the middle).

(To all three, with the guaglione).

To all three, with the guaglione.

(- To all three of them, with the guaglione. - The young man, there in the middle.)

(- The young gentleman, there in the middle. - Who are you people? I don't know you).

(Who are you ? I don't know you).

(Who are you ? I don't know you).

(Who are you ? I don't know you).

(Who are you ? I don't know you).

(- Who are you?) - Maione! (- I don't know you).

Who are you? I don't know you.

(Who are you ? I don't know you).

This way. Pay attention, down there, you already know.

Come on, Cami.

- Hello, Bruno. - Hello, Riccia'.

- What is Camillo doing here ? - He is Lina's son.

- I got him hired to give him a chance. - You did the right thing.

Hopefully, I will not regret it.

You are welcome.

-So ? -It's the same mode and same hand as the other murders.

To push an awl all the way all the way down, you have to be very strong.

Also very motivated, but we don't know from what.

- Was he a regular customer of the restaurant ? - Probably.

His name was Arturo Barra. That's all we know.

He went into the closet so as not to suffocate to death.

-The other victims ? -All died from the fire. A couple from burns

the others from smoke suffocation. Are murder and fire related ?

I think so.

It's horrifying, but the fire was a diversion to kill Barra

In the midst of all those people. - He did not act alone. - Meaning ?

- Someone helped him. - The accomplices set the fire...

- He acted undisturbed. - Wow. This is getting complicated.

If we don't find a link between the victims, we will not solve the case.

Classic motives for murder, hunger, love, have nothing to do with it this time.

I would not want to be in your shoes.

I return to my patients mute forever.

What are you thinking, commissa' ?

To the awl And to the blindfold.

It's very strange.

The killer wants us to know That he committed the murders.

It's like he wants to put a signature -- leave a message.

Such a thing I've never seen. It's a massacre.

Since I've been a policeman I have seen so many people killed

But not so. All killed the same way.

Back to the restaurant area, find out what you can about Barra

What his life was like, who he hung out with. - I'll go right away, commissa.

[OVERLAPPING VOICES]

So. The cousins from Pozzuoli with their children, seven other people.

Aunt Luciana with her husband are six more.

Ms. Parascandalo.

At the wedding do you want to invite Mrs. Parascandalo ?

Of course. He thought that Enrica was staying a spinster.

He must "crack up" with envy With his whole clique.

- The seamstress ! - Do you want to invite the seamstress ? - No, she is needed for measurements.

Of my daughter's wedding dress Naples and 36 Casali must speak !

Good morning, Don Pierino.

Commissioner !

What a surprise !

I heard about the good news from Cavalier Colombo.

I congratulate you.

Enrica is a wonderful girl, together with you she will be happy.

You both deserve all the best.

-To what do I owe your visit ? -I need to...

I need to go to confession, Don Pierino.

Commissioner -- with great pleasure.

Here.

Let's sit here.

We can rest assured.

Tell me, open your heart.

After the wedding promise, I and Enrica ... made love.

Is this the burden that has driven you here ?

You used the right word, "making love."

The only thing that matters, even for our Lord

Is the depth, the sincerity Of the feelings that bind you together.

There is more, isn't there ?

My conscience tells me that I had to wait.

I understand, but the intention of joining you in marriage

you have expressed it, it is real. This makes your sin venial.

It's not about that.

First I had to tell Enrica where my pain comes from

you know, Is like a curse.

Today it has shown itself in all its ineluctability.

He might not accept it, he would be entitled to it.

You have mentioned to me many times to your pain

I have never asked you for explanations nor will I ask you for them in confession.

In fact.

I release you from the obligation to speak to me Before a sacrament.

You are right, though.

Enrica has a right to know.

You are about to be united in marriage for better or for worse.

Whatever the torment is, she must know the truth, whatever it is.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

What ?

- I need to talk to you. - Do I need to worry ?

It's the same face you had the night of the cursed dinner.

Don't remind me, what a figure !

Whenever you feel embarrassment about something or that you feel ashamed

Cover your eyes with your hand.

As children do When they don't want to see.

When I feel ashamed And I don't want to see...

- Thank you ! - For what ? - You You helped me solve a puzzle.

- An enigma ? - Yes. I have to run now, excuse me.

- Weren't you going to talk to me ? - Yes, I have to talk to you and it's very important

But I think you have just solved a case. - Ah !

Tonight -- let's talk tonight.

- Let's talk tonight ! - Bye.

Commissioner, I asked questions, I have news about Arturo Barra.

This Arturo Barra, how should I tell you.

He liked men. I mean, he was paying them, you know.

The pharmacist, the keeper of the brothel and him, I have the connection.

- I do not understand you. - The shame, Raphael. The shame!

For the killer, the victims must be ashamed of what they do

wants to punish them for their sins. - The blindfold ?

When one is embarrassed, one often you cover your eyes with your hand

I do. The murderer wants to tell us that he is ashamed for them.

Those who cover themselves with shame have no Right to look at others anymore.

- He is a shame-addict. - Yes.

Where do we find it ?

We just know that to kill in that way he must have a lot of strength.

He cannot be an old man, he is a young man.

Yes, he is a young man.

A young man obsessed by shame.

A young...

Shame...

-My son is also ashamed of me. -Why do you have so many punches ?

The more there are, the less a blind person like me struggles to look for them.

- Let's go ! - Explain to me, commissa' !

- Between the pharmacy and the Montidori house there is a cobbler. - Yes, but he is blind.

Exactly ! It's easy to get them the punches. I tell you by going.

Count Montidori, sorry for the intrusion.

Commissioner, have you heard from my son ?

Actually we really come to talk to him.

He is not there. He has been out for days And hasn't come back yet.

I am very concerned.

You have no idea where he might be ?

I had all my acquaintances, but no one has seen it.

I don't know what to think.

Mr. Count.

Are you telling us the truth ?

But why are you looking for him ?

Out ! Everybody out, come on !

I want you out, come on !

Everybody out ! Out !

Everybody go and find Count Ferdinando Montidori.

He is 22 years old, tall, blond. You go around around, ask questions, every neighborhood

Every dive bar, every house. - The count Is the killer of the awl.

He disappeared from his home, could kill again, perhaps today.

- We must find him, come on ! - Wait !

Wait ! Ricciardi...

Listen. You have done very well, even though you disobeyed me

But now you have to really stop. - What do you mean ?

- The count was captured and sent to confinement. - By whom ?

Why the confinement ?

Please do not ask questions that I cannot and do not know how to answer.

- So I have been told and so I I report. - He did not act alone.

In the fire, someone helped him, who protects him

must be judged by a court of law ! - What can I do ?

These are provisions of those in charge, of who really commands, commissioner

And we can only obey. Clear ?

All of this sucks and you know it, too.

I will pretend that I did not hear, for your sake and also for my own.

In any case. Count Ferdinando Montidori

Has already been captured, so I have been told

And so it is, for all of you !

Commissa, do you really believe that...

Thank you.

Do you really believe that they caught him and taken to confinement ?

- No, mainly because I don't see the reason. - They are covering it up.

Those who protect him burned down the restaurant, he was not alone.

And then they hide it...

It's crazy. If he decides to kill again, how do they put it ?

Maybe that's why they protect him, precisely because he has to kill again.

You are right. We have to figure out who to kill.

In my opinion someone who is inconvenient for them

Or they want revenge, without appearing.

This story is very mysterious.

If you persist with your ridiculous accusations, you will end up badly !

I have fought imbeciles and bullies all my life

And now they have found a way to make me pay for it.

Let's go! There's no time, Raphael!

Wait, commissa.

[COUGHS]

> Carlo ?

Carlo, do you feel like going to the cinematograph ?

- Camerini's new film is on. - At the cinematograph ?

Carlo -- turn around !

Who are you ? What do you want ?

> How did you get in? > Calm down, countess.

No need to fret. There always comes time to pay the bill.

- Whore ! You are a whore ! - Take it from me, bastard !

Don't worry, we do the math Even with you, a pig living together

with a married woman ! Aren't you ashamed? - Stop!

- Stop! - Let me go! They must both of them pay, I must punish them !

Don't you understand ? She is a married woman, she is with an old man for money !

What do you know? Who told you ! Why all these deaths?

They were not worthy to live.

Just you, you who defend the law, eh ?

Do you not realize That the world is corrupt.

People who live in sin Without shame.

- You don't decide who lives And who dies. - No, no, not me.

He is God.

God armed my hand. He has put before me the example of my father

He also sinned, But he understood his lowliness.

He has stopped showing himself in public. He is atoning locked in his home

Because sin is like disease, a contagious disease.

- I have to stop her, that's my job. - Who helped you ?

- Who protects you ? - I will never say.

I am a man of honor.

You know what honor is, commissioner ?

They used the madness of the Young Montidori to strike me.

Yes. They identified him after the first murders

And they thought to exploit his self-righteous fury.

They set fire to the restaurant to gain his trust.

It was easy to send him here for their political and personal revenge.

Yes, but who ? Who can want us so badly ?

We know very well who they are.

Duke, you also pay the price for defending me

But if I make Montidori confess, we will have complete justice.

These are people who are used to getting away with it, they will deny

They will put all their eggs on the boy's madness.

I will find a way to make them harmless

I still have friendships that matter in Rome.

- See you soon. - Thank you.

Thank you.

I have you to thank.

Ricciardi !

I have to congratulate you. No one could have imagined...

I know you think, but know That they have also deceived me

with the story of confinement, of capture. - There is still much to be done.

- The young man owes us many explanations. - I agree.

- In this regard. he is already being questioned. - Who ?

You know ... a chain of murders throws discredit on all of us

And on the whole country.

They need to make sure that this is only of an isolated case of insanity.

- Who is questioning him ? - Party officials.

- Where ? - In the security cell.

- Ricciardi ! What do you want to do? - Stop them !

They do not want to be disturbed !

(We need to tell everyone what we have to do.)

(We need to tell everyone what we have to do.)

We need to tell everyone what we have to do.

(We need to tell everyone what we have to do.)

But how is this possible ?

Cyanide. They poisoned him To keep him from talking.

Case dismissed, doctor.

We need to tell everyone what we have to do.

And then they talk about order !

What's going on ? Make way! Police, make way.

- The thieves attacked him in three. - Who ?

I am ruined ! I am ruined.

- Feli'! How are you? - Brigadier, I had taken one, but... Ah !

The accomplices hit me from behind.

They made off with the proceeds.

The poor man lost everything.

Money is recovered, life is one. Stand up on your feet, go.

- Easy... Ah ! - Don't worry, easy.

They came from behind. I wish I had them in my hands.

We take them. That wound says that your patrol system works.

Eh... He also says that tomorrow Who hears Ines ?

Ines ?

- Is she your girlfriend ? - She already can't put up with me being a cop

If he sees me like this, he really leaves me.

Don't say that even in jest. Let's go and medicate ourselves.

What a bang! Come, come.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello? Hello?

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello, who is this ?

Hello ?

[PHONE RINGS]

Will you stop with these jokes ? Hello !

Mom. Mom, it's me.

Do you want to tell me what is so important ?

It's something I want to tell you, that I've had to tell you for a long time.

You have a right to know.

Whatever it is, nothing will change between us.

It certainly doesn't change the love I feel for you.

- When I first saw you time... - From the window. - Yes.

I stopped thinking that I would be alone forever.

But then ... it came with another torment.

-The possibility of a life with you. -A torment ?

- Explain. - Here we go.

I have never told anyone what I'm about to tell you, only my mother.

If I try to find the courage today to do this... it is because I love you.

I love you too.

What do you see there ?

Altar.

Do you see anyone ?

Who should I see ?

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

I see a lady dressed in black.

- Where do you see her ? - She is in front of me. - I feel like dying...

He says, "Little mother, little mother, I feel like dying."

- I don't understand you. - I am cursed, Enrica.

- Don't say that. - It started all when I was a child

In Fortino, in that countryside you've seen, too.

There I met... the first ghost.

I am not lying to you, I see them, I hear them. The ghosts speak to me...

Dozens, hundreds, every day Of my life in this city.

They are the ghosts of the dead Of violent death.

I hear their last thoughts, their voices haunt me

Until they get justice, only then do they disappear and remain silent

Or at least I delude myself that it is.

That's why I chose my work, to live at least the moment of peace

In which a ghost disappears. - It is not possible.

I have often thought I was crazy, I hoped, I swear, my love

But they are not. They are here for me.

It's the same curse that my mother had.

The same curse that I am afraid Of passing on to our children.

Do you understand me now ? I apologize, if I didn't tell you earlier.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.
