Original subtitles

Alert! Alert! All police cars!!

The bank has been robbed.

The escape car is a green Renault.

Caution. The criminals are armed.

Damned!

Stop!

Sereni, I don't have anything against you, but your methods.

My methods? They were shooting wildly.

I Didn't have an alternative. I had to shoot them.

I know, generally, you are right.

Violence rules this part of town.

Assaults, kidnapping, drugs...

But we don't solve our problems, by killing criminals.

I understand.

But tell me, what to do instead.

It wasn't a easy decision for me.

I will suspend you for six months.

As long as it takes, for the public to forget...

...the methods you solved some of your cases with.

The kidnapping of Berti's daughter for example.

Nol No!

Help! Help!

Help me! Please help me!

Help!

Get out!

The press and some of our colleagues...

...think that it wasn't necessary...

...to shoot the kidnapper.

It would have been enough...

...to shoot his leg in order to stop him.

Do you remember the car napper, who was killed during the chase?

With your methods criminals don't have a chance...

...to be put on trial.

Like the store robbers.

- I can.. - Hands up!

- Don't movel - This is a robbery.

Stop!

Don't movel!

To the prefect of the police of Rome.

I am asking for resignation from the police.

Sereni

Franco...

I'm having grave problems. I need your help.

You know, I don't...

...have any friends. You are the only one I trust.

I don't know if 1 can help you.

I just resigned from the police.

But you know you can always count on me.

I will come as soon as possible. Bye.

Augusto! What a surprise!

I did not expect you.

But it is really me.

Maybe you can give me a few minutes of your time?

Just tell me if I'm interrupting you.

- I can visit another time. - No, where are you going?

Come on in. Imagine... l was just thinking of you. Strange isn't it?

You are looking fantastic.

Really? Would you like a drink.

I'hope you didn't forget that I quit.

I'm absolutely dry.

You are lucky. I'm drinking still

Otherwise, the job would kill me.

But you always had the stronger will.

The way you are shaking...

...[ will have to look for another photographer.

Now let's have a serious talk.

We will have to solve the Nacja problem.

Nadja... that little bitch.

I don't deny that I was a little jealous about her.

She is quite pretty.

That is irrelevant. Nadja really is a problem.

She could frame us both.

So, do you like it here?

Well... it is okay.

- You are never satisfied. - The best is good enough.

Good afternoon. Welcome to Hotel Bellavista.

- Good afternoon. - Do you have a room?

A moment, please.

I'm sorry, we are fully booked.

There is just one room but it has no bath.

- We sare taking it. - As you wish.

This way, please.

- Sir, Sirl - Oh, Toni.

- Augusto just called. - Augusto? What does he want?

We will have to get rid of Nadja, this talkative bitch...

...before she can do us any harm.

- How can she do us harm? - She knows too much.

Furthermore, her friend is an ex cop.

One of the tough kind.

So...

...you know, this is a long story.

But you will find it interesting.

You think so?

This hotel isn't as respectable as it looks.

You know... a lot is going on here.

Prostitution... blackmail...

I'm up to my neck in it too...

...but T'want out. Do you understand, Franco?

Tell me everything. From the beginning.

From the beginning, alright.

I needed money.

A friend of mine, Helen, a singer in a nightclub...

...Introduced me to some guys.

I sold myself for money.

That wasn't the problem, because I was a hooker already.

Then I found out about room no 14.

It has a transparent mirror. You can watch the next room from there.

They are using this...

...to film couples coming here...

...blackmailing them afterwards.

But that's not everything.

There is a drug courier coming by weekly.

As far as I know, this hotel is a reloading point for heroin.

When the guests are on drugs...

...they are having sadistic orgies.

There were even dead people during that orgies.

The organization is lead by a woman named Flavia and her friend Augusto.

She is the most cold blooded woman I know.

Are you a friend of Nacja?

May I ask for how long you are knowing her?

I know her since she had pigtails.

Why do you want to see me?

You don't look like a manager or journalist.

Right, I'm a police officer.

What do you want from me?

I want information about a woman named Flavia.

Flavia, you say? I don't know her.

Don't lie to me, sweetheart.

I am convinced that you know her quite well.

OK, ladmit it.

But I am wondering...

...what a policeman would like to know about Flavia and me.

I will tell you.

Your friend Flavia is doing dirty business, and you know about that.

Are you mad? I am an artist.

What a shame. I thought you were not only beautiful, but also smart.

Obviously, I'm wrong.

I know a lot about you.

For example that you are blackmailed with pornographic fotos of yourself.

Am I right? Your choice.

Either you help me...

...or you will be blackmailed for the rest of your life.

It is true.

You are right.

Listen, I'm not like the others, but I can't help you.

Please understand. If I would it could be my end.

They would kill me.

You have no idea of how brutal they can be.

Cold blooded and brutal.

I just came in time.

Is everything alright?

Are you sure nobody saw you?

Nobody.

I 'hid the corpse in the car of Nadja's friend.

He will like that.

I would like to see his face when he discovers the corpse.

But we have to be careful.

If the key is getting into the wrong hands, Augusto will kill us both.

I'm quite sure, Helen will help us.

Look, you're having a flat tire.

Damned, I will change it at once.

Poor Franco.

Good afternoon, Vinei. Where is the corpse?

I didn't see it by myself, officer.

Get Sereni and tell him, officer Righi is here.

Yes.

Sereni is an ex cop, a pain in the neck.

- He is always interfering. - Don't mind him.

That's because I called you.

I don't want to make a mistake.

- Alright. - You will get him off my back.

Ok.

This is officer Sereni.

- Officer Righi, a colleague. - Nice to see you.

Good afternoon, officer.

Please excuse me for a moment.

I am glad to meet a colleague out here.

I must disappoint you. I'm justa citizen now...

...who found a corpse in his trunk.

When was that? This morning?

Half an hour ago.

I think she was killed a few hours ago.

Strangled, I think.

OK, let's have a look at the victim.

Maybe we can find some evidence.

- Shall I come along? - Of course.

So... here is the corpse.

Is this a joke? Where is it?

- She was here. - Are you sure?

Yes, And I don't like it when somebody doesn't believe me.

I saw her, too.

Yes, Miss, I believe you.

But now, the corpse has disappeared.

What ca I do?

You got my word, Righi, that should be enough.

This is not much.

Excuse me, Sereni, but I've got to have facts...

...for my bosses. Your word is not enough.

I'm sorry. Goodbye.

Ladies and gentlemen

...we are glad to present Helen.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

I would like to present my newest song.

I song I want to dedicate to all lovers.

She has to leave for a while.

How comfortable for you.

Flavia ordered you, right?

Whiskey, please.

I must talk to you. Alone.

Sereni, this dick...

...came here with Nadja. - I will take of him.

- And you will take care of the girl. - Ok, a good plan.

How much?

Nothing, of course.

Hey. the boss told us to get rid of Sereni. At once.

- At once? - Yes, at once.

Nadja, listen. Just pretend nothing happened.

Get out and wait at the car. Don't ask why.

Just do it.

Where is the car?

Next to the exit. Hurry.

Take care, will you?

Get going...

Nadja...

Nadja...

Your husband is such a jerk.

But he has money.

A girl with your looks can't waste her life...

...waiting for a man who is never there.

Believe me, as long as you are young.

But time passes fast. I know what I'm talking about.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Good afternoon. I'm expecting you...

You will see me today, for a cup of tea.

OK, until then.

- Ciao. - Ciao, see you later.

- Please. - Thank you.

Ciao... How are you?

Well... I'm alright.

It is my fault, that Nadja is dead, right?

It is everybody's fault. Your's as well as mine.

Don't think about it.

You think that is possible?

I can't sleep anymore. I'm afraid...

...I will be next. Maybe they are already looking for me.

I warned you.

I'm afraid.

I'm very afraid. I don't want to die.

I will tell you everything. But you must help me.

I'm begging you.

OK...

Thank you.

Sereni, since you showed up,two girls are missing.

Oneis dead... the other... well...

What do you mean?

That there is a connection between me and the dead girl?

It is just a fact, Sereni.

That I don't like. That I don't like at all, Righi.

At alll

Remember that you are no police officer anymore.

You will have to put up with it.

I don't have the badge anymore, but I still feel like a cop.

Whatever... but don't get involved...

...In my work, understood?

- I want things cleared. - Me. too.

- Hello, there you are. - Hello!

I'm really glad about your visit.

Very nice.

Yes, a nice garden. But it needs a lot of gardening.

I was afraid, your hushand wouldn't let you go.

Have a seat. 1 will join you.

Thank you.

There is nothing but a nice cup of coffee, right?

I have so much to tell you.

My husband wanted to buy a fur coat for me...

...but when he saw the price he declined.

Two pieces of sugar, please.

But you got the coat, nevertheless, right?

Of course. You just have to know how to handle men.

I just have to shake my butt a little...

You know him...

What I wanted to ask, do you have news of Ornella?

No, nothing new.

She is still married to that greek shipowner.

I don't know what she likes about him.

Marta... Marta.

Put on her cloths again.

Get off.

Marta, darling... How are you?

- My head. - That's nothing.

You just got a bit dizzy.

Marta...

Suddenly, you were unconscious. The devil knows why.

May too much stress. Your husband is demanding too much?

Everything is spinning, Flavia.

Everything is alright again, Marta.

Fresh air will do you good, right?

I think so, too.

Please visit me again, soon.

- Yes, ciao. - Ciao.

Ciao.

Hello? Hello, this is officer Righi.

This is Augusto.

Damned Vinci and that blond friend of his...

...want to get away with our stuff...

...and take the films from the slaughterhouse.

You've got to prevent that.

Not very easy, because of my position.

Please try to understand me.

Really? For what reason?

Augusto is wrong if he thinks he can play us against each other.

We just get away with that stuff.

Just keep me out. I don't want to be part of it.

You will do what we tell you!

You are under our thumb, don't you know?

You will come with us to the slaughterhouse!

Otherwise, our blond friend will have to rearrange your face a little.

Did you get it now?

No, I won't come along.

Come on now! Otherwise...

Come on now, sweetie...

- Thank you. - Please.

Do you think it is necessary to take that hitch along?

- You really think? - Who knows?

Surprised?

Righi, no. Please no!

This is from Augusto.

Farewell.

One step closer, and I will kill her.

Francol

He got away.

Pig.

I'm sorry, Franco.

Francol

Forgive me...

...Leouldn't help it.

Ciao, Helen.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

I want to take a present for a lady.

- Something like this? - Yes, [take it.

Shall I wrap it up.

That would be nice.

Antonio, please pay the bill Bring it to my car.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

We are holding something that could endanger the position of your husband...

...In case it will be published.

We are waiting for you at %h at the restaurant, Via Appia.

You will get all the information then.

You can use my car if you want. Nobody knows it.

Be careful, when you go to Vinci.

His house is always guarded.

Watt...

Try to be in time, next time.

What do you want for the negatives?

How much is your husband's career worth to you?

My husband doesn't have to do anything with it.

If you want us, to keep him out of it do as we say.

You don't have a choice.

What will I have to do?

First of all, you won't tell anybody about our meeting.

The rest is easy...

We need two favours.

First: you will have to accept to meet a few friends of ours.

Then you will have to get into contact with a certain private eye.

A man called Marco Ristelli...

...and tell him you are being blackmailed.

And while you are instructing him...

...you will give him the address of Hotel Bella Vista.

Because you remember of being brought and photographed there.

That will convince Marco Ristell to pay a visit to the hotel

I have to tell you that, if you refuse...

...the photographs will be published...

...which will mean the end of your husband's political career.

I'hope I made myself clear. Now...

In the room next door, a business partner is waiting for you.

Don't be stupid.

It doesn't pay.

Come on. I just want to look at you.

Get your cloths off. Don't be shy.

Come on, sweetheart. What's the matter?

I won't bite you.

Get your cloths off.

Surprised?

You didn't expect me here, right?

But I am here and I will see...

...that you don't catch a cold.

You wouldn't be able to sing tonight...

Bu maybe you wouldn't sing anyway.

Shall I wash your back?

Your skin is very nice.

I like to touch it with my fingers.

It's a shame, you're that stupid.

Because it is stupid, to betray us...

...instead of working with us.

We are quite angry about that, you know?

And I don't like Sereni.

And I don't like the ones, who like him more than us.

You made a mistake.

And you got to pay for it.

No, I didn't do anything. I swear!

You don't need to be afraid...

I won't harm you.

No, no! Please! Don't kill me.

No!

Why should I kill you, Helen?

It would be a shame to kill such a beautiful girl.

I don't have a reason to do so, but Augusto says...

...you betrayed us. And betrayers must be punished.

The question is, what kind of punishment.

You have to be punished, you agree, don't you?

Otherwise, you will do things more stupid than that.

Isn't that so, dear Helen?

But you can choose.

Do you want to be strangled or drowned?

Let's try drowning.

Nol No!

Nol No!

- This club is fascinating. - Yes, you are right.

- You are with your own kind and don't get bothered. - Right.

It's disgusting, but there are people like that.

I see you tomorrow at my place, right?

- Right, have a nice day. Ciao. - Ciao.

- Flavial - Hey, Augusto!

Ciaol

Damn it, Flavia, I'm waiting for 20 minutes.

Women are never in time.

Let's talk about business.

And about the two of us.

Listen...

Why don't we go to my place? Just the two of us, like old times?

I was in love with you, then...

...how we sare just business partners.

I am just a business partner...

...50 let's talk about business, Flavia.

I was right. You are only interested in money.

Right, but it seems, you are having the same interests.

You are right, I'm a materialist.

Yes.

Me, too.

Joking apart, I'm worrying about our business.

There is nothing to be afraid of, believe me.

If you think so...

Anl

- Oh, who are we having here? - Surprised?

- No, absolutely not. - So much the better.

Because this is no friendly visit.

Like you can imagine, Sereni.

I know that I can't expect friendship from you.

...but it will be hard, to drive me into a corner.

Maybe so, but you are in a corner, Sereni.

11 don't mind your threats, Righi.

On the contrary, I want to warn you.

You should be alarmed.

Really? For what reason?

Because I know a lot about you officer Righi.

I could have you arrested.

You will do nothing.

Nobody knows, I'm here.

And these two gentlemen, are not with the police.

Do you know, what I mean?

Very much, officer.

Take him apart, guys.

Good afternoon, my name is Rastelli.

- Good afternoon. Please come along. - Thank you.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

Wat is it about?

I'm having a problem. I hope you can help me.

Sure.

I am being blackmailed.

They drugged me and took compromising pictures of me.

That's horrible.

My husband is a politician, you know...

...these pictures endanger his career.

It would be a scandal.

He would have to resign. Please help me.

I'm on a similar case right now

You should tell me everything, right from the beginning.

It is possible, these cases are connected.

Yes, I'm sure, an organization specialized in blackmail is behind it.

You are not the only victim.

Most of them prefer to pay before risking a scandal.

That keeps the criminals safe.

If you choose to company me and risk a scandal...

...we might destroy the organization.

I just know that I was taken to a hotel.

Maybe you can remember the name of the hotel?

Sure, Hotel Bella Vista.

I think it is right out of town.

Well, I have to make a few arrangements.

We will go there together. Goodbye.

Idiot, he got away again.

We can't use somebody who is making mistakes all the time.

I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

I promise you, I won't make any more mistakes.

Sereni is as good as dead.

Righi...

What are you doing here? What do you want?

Nol No!

Please, no!

- What is it? - My name is Franco Sereni.

I'm an ex cop.

I was friends with Helen.

I want to talk with you about Helen's death.

If you have the time, that means.

Please, come in.

So...

What can I do for you?

Tell me everything you know about it.

Helen and a girl named Nadja were friends of you.

- But they are dead. - You are wrong. I don't know them.

I never heard these names before.

Really, Signora?

I found this photo in Helens flat.

I think you might be interested.

You are the one in the middle, you see?

I would be thankful...

...if you could contribute to solve these murders.

OK, I'm on this picture...

...but I can't help you.

As you wish. But it would be better if you cooperate.

Any detail, name, place, memory...

Everything can be useful...

Two girls are dead already and a cold blooded murder ist still at large...

- What have I to do with that? - You knew them.

Yes, but not very well.

Well or not, I don't care.

I'm convinced...

...you know far more than you are ready to admit.

I won't leave until I get the information.

That's too much. I don't have an information service.

I can't know everything.

If I knew, I would tell you. I promise.

I believe that. Please try to remember.

You must help me.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

I will call you tomorrow. Maybe you remember something...

As you like. Call me tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong...

...I don't want to interfere with your investigations.

I really don't know anything.

So, call tomorrow.

Yes, and excuse my behaviour.

- I'm sorry. - Please... Sereni.

I'm sorry that I can't be of help.

Yes.

Thinking of it... I saw...

You saw what?

Helen was accompanied by a man.

Call me, if you remember something else.

- You promise? - I promise.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Where is this room? Which floor?

I think it is at the end of this corridor.

Somebody is in there. Knock.

Shut the door.

This is the proof.

Unfortunately, you won't tell anybody.

No! Help!

Now it's your turn, sweetheart.

Shut up, bitch.

No! Don't!

I won't kill you at once.

I want to have a little fun with you.

You got it?

No, please! Help!

What do you think about having you cut up?

- Hello? - Hello, Sereni here.

I was waiting for your call.

Really? That's nice.

You provided me with information yesterday.

I just want to know if you remember the name of the man at Helen's side?

Yes, I tried to remember. I didn't get it first...

...but then I remembered.

I just saw him once, you know?

I don't really know him. Helen just brought him along.

The man's name is Alberto Mauri.

Wait a second. What was his name?

- Mauri. - I'm writing it down.

I'm ready now.

His name is Alberto Mauri.

A young man around 30 or 35 with a blond beard.

You should recognise him.

Thank you very much.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Excuse me, where can I find Alberto Mauri?

Down at the lake.

You can go through there.

You can leave the car.

It's just a few steps.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Do they bite? - Not at all.

I'm waiting for hours now.

They just don't want to bite.

But I can wait. I'm patient.

Maybe you should try a different bait?

I just wanted to give the earthworm a bath.

So, what do you want?

I just want to know, if you know one of these girls.

No, I don't.

Sorry, I don't know any of these.

I haven't seen them in my life.

I can't help you.

Are you sure?

Believe me or not, I am.

And I am also sure about that you are someone...

...who desperately wants to get into trouble.

And this time, you found it.

Stupid cop.

And if you are getting into trouble yourself?

I don't think so.

Think about last Thursday.

- Somebody saw you with Helen. - Impossible.

Nothing is impossible. Regarding this case...

...a woman will testify against you.

What do you say?

- I don' care. - I don't believe you, Mauri.

You know exactly, what I'm going to do.

I will kill you.

Here I am.

Excuse the mess.

There are mechanics all around, as you can see.

I don't care. I know what that means.

Milk or lemon?

Nothing, please. Just like that.

Excuse me for a moment.

You again? What do you want?

How did you get into my house?

Don't act up like that!

That was a trap and you knew it.

I don't know anything.

And I don't want to know.

Now get out of herel

I don't understand. What is going on here?

Don't mind. You have nothing to do with it.

Would you leave now!

As you wish. Yes, I will leave now.

But you are coming with me.

Not so tight. You are hurting me.

There will be consequences.

Get off me, I can get in there myself.

The time has come to make something clear.

In your killers pocket I found a notice about a certain Augusto.

I want to know, who that is.

Where are we going?

We will visit a restaurant. Augusto's restaurant.

And on the way, you will tell me everything you know.

I am quite amused. Who do you think you are?

You are kidnapping me without any reason.

But you will pay for that.

1 will do so, but you will pay for two horrible murders.

That's enough. Let me go out.

No, You will stay.

You will regret this. You will pay!

Augusto! Augustol

- What's the matter? - This man is crazy.

Don't worry, my dear.

- Sereni isn't crazy. - But he is.

I always told you there are no problems.

There is nothing to be afraid of, Flavia.

Since he came here by himself, everything is easier.

Instead I would have had to look for him.

And it will be a great pleasure...

...to get rid of him, permanently.

This is your last hour, Sereni.

- I'm not finished, yet. - What is this?

That was predictable. You are not that stupid.

Stay where you are, if you don't want me to break her neck.

This is your point.

But why are you so sure I don't shoot women?

Get him away.

Put him in the cellar. We will take care of him tonight.

Gentlemen...

as told before, I will resign from the organization.

But... before talking about business...

...I'm having good news, gentlemen.

Former police officer Sereni...

...doesn't present a threat anymore.

I am resigning with a good conscious.

I'm leaving this organization...

...which, by drugs, prostitution and blackmail...

...can make an amount of 2 billion a year.

Of course, gentlemen...

...without tax. Cin cin.

This district is rich.

And there is lots of profit, gentlemen.

He is trying to escape.

Let him try.

Let's have a look.

- Damned, where did he go? - Hit.

I'm here, shitheads.

I'm here, shitheads.

Here we are having the absolute power...

But there is always somebody, who wants to have a piece of the cake.

You will have to take care of these people, gentlemen.

And you will give 25% of it, of course.

This will be all.

Bastard, not enough, yet?

Just wait, you'll get another one. Just get up straight.

You bastard...

Son of a bitch...

Don't move or I'll shoot.

You think you can just get away like this, right?

Please, be reasonable. We can talk about it.

Just put away your gun.

You would like that, wouldn't you?

But you will get no second chance.

I didn't forget the three dead women.

You won't shoot, I'm sure.

Really? I wouldn't be in your place.

Time is up.

And I don't intend to give you to the police.

I will treat you like I treated every other piece of shit criminal.

You are the worst of them!

OK... you won.

All'l can do is wait...

...until you shoot me with a bullet.

But let me tell you.

Do it quick. Otherwise...

Otherwise, what?

Away with the gun.

Get hin away.

- Police! - Don't shoot. We don't have a chance.

I'm officer Lozzi.

Good work.

I'm having good news for you. You are back with the police.

Hello.

We don't know each other. My name is Marta Onisanti.

I'm one of the victims...

...of the organization.

If you wouldn't have killed that murderer...

if... it wouldn't have been for you...

Horrible.

Thank God, everything went out fine.

Thanks to you and your insistence.

I never dreamed I would survive this.

- I don't know how to thank you. - Well...

For what? It was my duty.

Nowadays...

...there's nobody anymore, doing their duties.

It is very important to me, believe me.
