Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:26,283 --> 00:00:27,265
- Morning.
- Morning sir.
2
00:00:27,558 --> 00:00:29,211
Inspector Bertone to see Mr Stolfi.
3
00:00:29,211 --> 00:00:31,995
You'll have to wait a while i'm
afraid, television, you understand.
4
00:00:35,822 --> 00:00:39,117
...the ever more violent onslaught
of crime that is invading our city.
5
00:00:39,659 --> 00:00:42,093
We have invited an expert of
international fame to discuss it.
6
00:00:42,093 --> 00:00:45,060
A man who has dedicated his
entire life to the study of crime.
7
00:00:45,353 --> 00:00:47,365
Former chief of police, Ernesto Stolfi.
8
00:00:47,738 --> 00:00:50,314
- You mind if I take a book?
- No, not at all.
9
00:00:51,282 --> 00:00:52,692
The book is Pinocchio.
10
00:00:53,327 --> 00:00:55,401
Do you wonder what Pinocchio
could have to do with crime?
11
00:00:55,713 --> 00:00:56,648
I'll show you.
12
00:00:57,746 --> 00:00:59,505
Pinocchio went to prison you recall.
13
00:01:00,331 --> 00:01:03,763
Poor boy, it was a
strain on his forbearing.
14
00:01:04,932 --> 00:01:08,698
Remember the scene when the emperor
amnesties all the criminals?
15
00:01:09,451 --> 00:01:11,917
There's the little puppet in the
cell and he doesn't know why.
16
00:01:12,481 --> 00:01:14,584
It's not because he's done
anything wrong, he hasn't.
17
00:01:15,081 --> 00:01:18,817
And then little Pinocchio comes
to the prison guard and says:
18
00:01:19,105 --> 00:01:21,826
All the prisoners are being set
free and I should be set free too.
19
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:25,556
"Oh no" said the prison guard,
"Not you, you can't be set free."
20
00:01:26,659 --> 00:01:30,776
"You're not a criminal".
"Oh but excuse me" said Pinocchio.
21
00:01:31,275 --> 00:01:33,852
"I am a criminal, just like the rest."
22
00:01:34,382 --> 00:01:36,285
"A thousand pardons"
said the prison guard.
23
00:01:36,993 --> 00:01:39,406
In that case, you're free to go.
24
00:01:40,187 --> 00:01:44,650
And he takes off his hat and he bows,
opens the gate and sets Pinocchio free.
25
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:47,373
Well as an allegory it's very interesting but...
26
00:01:47,577 --> 00:01:50,342
do you have a remedy for this
onslaught of murder and rape in our city?
27
00:01:51,876 --> 00:01:55,032
Oh my dear friend,
these days all sorts of...
28
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,017
solutions to these problems
are being handed out by...
29
00:01:57,017 --> 00:02:00,730
psychiatrists and psychologists,
and all to no avail.
30
00:02:01,811 --> 00:02:07,515
In my modest opinion something
radical has got to be done if...
31
00:02:07,717 --> 00:02:10,517
we're to restore the faith of
the individual in the government.
32
00:02:11,766 --> 00:02:13,645
Yes, it's one of the
advantages of being retired.
33
00:02:13,849 --> 00:02:15,740
For the first time I can
say what I really think.
34
00:02:16,126 --> 00:02:16,971
So I heard!
35
00:02:17,549 --> 00:02:21,699
I asked you to come and see me because
I wanted to discuss the Bettarini case.
36
00:02:22,323 --> 00:02:25,587
You acted rather
impulsively in court I thought.
37
00:02:26,598 --> 00:02:29,074
I just find it hard to keep my mouth
shut when punks like that go free.
38
00:02:29,884 --> 00:02:34,045
My dear boy, your invovlement in the
case finished when you arrested him.
39
00:02:34,516 --> 00:02:37,445
It's pointless to
create enemies downtown.
40
00:03:05,438 --> 00:03:06,855
Kid, haven't got a light have you?
41
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:15,204
Merci.
42
00:03:19,381 --> 00:03:20,993
What kinda dough you pulling in kid?
43
00:04:08,528 --> 00:04:09,540
Put your mark here.
44
00:04:24,935 --> 00:04:25,966
Here come the reporters chief.
45
00:04:26,345 --> 00:04:28,866
- Where's Bettarini?
- There he is, there.
46
00:04:33,687 --> 00:04:35,717
Get me a shot of the lawyer then
beat it back to the paper, ok?
47
00:04:36,916 --> 00:04:39,520
- Ok, you can beat it, you're free.
- Bettarini, how about a statement?
48
00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:43,140
No no no, my client has
absolutely nothing to say.
49
00:04:43,545 --> 00:04:45,421
- How about you then?
- Who me? No.
50
00:04:45,644 --> 00:04:47,036
It was all said in court
today with the acquittal.
51
00:04:47,386 --> 00:04:51,507
- Insufficient proof. - That's
right, but still found innocent miss.
52
00:04:52,381 --> 00:04:54,626
Would that more policemen
were as innocent as my client.
53
00:04:57,028 --> 00:05:00,263
Bad break for the police huh? What
do you say, how about a statement?
54
00:05:00,763 --> 00:05:02,033
Look, i'm not your man.
55
00:05:02,277 --> 00:05:04,212
The head of homicide is
Bertone, he's right over there.
56
00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:09,267
Hey Bettarini, how about giving us
something for the human interest angle?
57
00:05:09,468 --> 00:05:11,596
You know everything, you were
there at the trial weren't you?
58
00:05:11,596 --> 00:05:15,378
I had nothing to do with the
robbery and I didn't kill nobody.
59
00:05:15,584 --> 00:05:18,457
What can i tell you, that's
the truth, right inspector?
60
00:05:18,956 --> 00:05:21,963
Inspector Bertone, have you anything
to say on the subject of this acquittal?
61
00:05:22,836 --> 00:05:23,450
Yes.
62
00:05:25,316 --> 00:05:28,482
You can write that that
nightwatchmen was a father of 4 kids.
63
00:05:29,337 --> 00:05:31,445
You can add that the
magistrate's acquittal was criminal!
64
00:05:32,830 --> 00:05:35,929
No, don't put that down,
Bertone's in enough hot water.
65
00:07:59,002 --> 00:08:00,029
He's got a sick face that kid.
66
00:08:03,245 --> 00:08:04,180
Hey man, don't get involved!
67
00:08:06,221 --> 00:08:06,865
Come back here you.
68
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:23,067
- You dummy, you didn't even get the
bread. - Shut up and make this thing go!
69
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:25,125
Call an ambulance,
this lady's been shot.
70
00:08:32,301 --> 00:08:35,304
Calling all cars,
18-9 to Piazza de Fornare.
71
00:08:35,777 --> 00:08:38,190
All cars be on the lookput for
two young men on a motorcycle.
72
00:08:38,463 --> 00:08:41,644
A motoguzzi 750, they are armed
and have killed two people.
73
00:08:41,930 --> 00:08:43,010
Use maximum caution.
74
00:09:22,557 --> 00:09:24,973
So my men didn't shoot,
why? I'll tell you.
75
00:09:25,787 --> 00:09:28,374
If we're unlucky enough to
shoot a fugitive murderer..
76
00:09:28,765 --> 00:09:31,312
someone's sure to make a stink and the
first ones to bitch are you people.
77
00:09:32,339 --> 00:09:34,369
But where there are
witnesses to the killings...
78
00:09:34,869 --> 00:09:36,222
nobody would be critical of that.
79
00:09:36,814 --> 00:09:38,968
Sure we make it hard for you when
you smash the heads of students...
80
00:09:39,201 --> 00:09:40,309
Or when you break strike.
81
00:09:40,558 --> 00:09:42,477
Look inspector, why don't
you listen to the press.
82
00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:44,833
We'll apprehend those two
killers whatever you write.
83
00:09:44,833 --> 00:09:46,457
We can't do a damn thing
more than we're doing.
84
00:09:46,691 --> 00:09:47,580
Oh sure.
85
00:09:47,813 --> 00:09:50,139
I wonder if any of you realise how
many criminals there are in this city?
86
00:09:50,434 --> 00:09:52,934
It's a gross exaggeration when
you talk of students and strikers.
87
00:09:53,229 --> 00:09:55,430
Our men spend a great
deal of their time...
88
00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:57,190
protecting the rights
of these minority factions...
89
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,046
And being shot in the
back in the bargain.
90
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:01,092
Now look Bertone, this kind
of talk leads to zilch.
91
00:10:01,464 --> 00:10:03,432
In this city the
citizens are terrorised...
92
00:10:03,432 --> 00:10:04,742
and they don't think the police
are doing anything about it.
93
00:10:05,343 --> 00:10:07,120
Every day we receive letters
from our readers saying:
94
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:09,664
"The police are hired to
defend us, why don't they?"
95
00:10:11,381 --> 00:10:14,281
The citizens don't feel there's
police protection, i'm well aware.
96
00:10:15,483 --> 00:10:19,148
But neither do we feel protected,
downtown in politician's paradise.
97
00:10:19,634 --> 00:10:21,347
The police force is
criticised by everybody...
98
00:10:21,566 --> 00:10:23,657
all of you, judges,
city hall, the media.
99
00:10:24,505 --> 00:10:26,404
Sometimes I think you
think we're the criminals.
100
00:10:26,825 --> 00:10:29,071
Inspector, nobody's saying
it's your fault but...
101
00:10:29,071 --> 00:10:31,083
I wonder if you have any
idea how many murders...
102
00:10:31,301 --> 00:10:33,504
there have been in this city
since you took over homicide.
103
00:10:33,892 --> 00:10:38,032
Too many, I know but we've caught a
jailed a high percentage of the killers.
104
00:10:38,265 --> 00:10:41,288
We'll get these guys too,
at least I hope so.
105
00:11:22,169 --> 00:11:24,120
- I mean this is real nice
of you. - Get out of here.
106
00:11:24,619 --> 00:11:26,101
There's a cop at the corner,
do you want me to yell?
107
00:11:26,756 --> 00:11:27,738
I wouldn't do that miss.
108
00:11:30,734 --> 00:11:32,435
If you know what's good
for you you'll get going.
109
00:11:39,204 --> 00:11:42,089
- The lights turned green,
go on. - You get out of my car!
110
00:11:45,975 --> 00:11:47,911
Get going, go on.
111
00:11:57,816 --> 00:11:59,892
Alright alright, don't push,
i'm going for god's sake.
112
00:12:00,193 --> 00:12:01,530
I ain't done nothing,
what do you want from me?
113
00:12:01,827 --> 00:12:02,877
What do you want from me?!
114
00:12:19,581 --> 00:12:21,983
Officer, check that the witnesses
for the Piazza de Fornare business...
115
00:12:22,202 --> 00:12:24,074
- are ready to look at
these ugly faces. - Yes sir.
116
00:12:26,328 --> 00:12:27,912
- Cut the noise!
- Alright, state your full name.
117
00:12:30,644 --> 00:12:33,499
- Well?
- Che Guevera.
118
00:12:34,565 --> 00:12:35,839
Hat off and no smoking.
119
00:12:37,836 --> 00:12:41,595
- Schocaletti Ortello, big joker huh?
- My name is hard to pronounce.
120
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:46,275
- What's this for wise guy?
- For my doggy woggy sir.
121
00:12:48,522 --> 00:12:51,298
Look, I got no record, this is the
first time I ever set foot in here.
122
00:12:52,621 --> 00:12:53,567
What are these scars?
123
00:12:54,659 --> 00:12:57,327
Oh that, you see there
were these big roses...
124
00:13:00,543 --> 00:13:02,384
Quit ordering me around,
who do you think you are?
125
00:13:07,612 --> 00:13:10,715
You want out, then let them
out, I hereby release all of them.
126
00:13:12,633 --> 00:13:14,287
Come on you smug
bastards, you heard me.
127
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,110
Just a second sir, we were in the
middle of checking their documents...
128
00:13:18,359 --> 00:13:19,688
We can't put them back
on the street yet.
129
00:13:19,934 --> 00:13:22,508
I don't need you to tell me what to
do, did you hear what I just said?
130
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:24,629
The bastards wanna get outta here
then we'll let them outta here.
131
00:13:45,327 --> 00:13:46,117
Alright, stay back.
132
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:55,983
Hey, there they are, those kids
are the killers, let's lynch them.
133
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:02,162
Go on, get the hell out there.
134
00:14:02,467 --> 00:14:04,667
What are you talking about,
they're all crazy out there.
135
00:14:14,122 --> 00:14:16,180
Run, run you lousy assholes.
136
00:14:18,254 --> 00:14:21,106
I don't think they're gonna go,
ok all of you, back inside.
137
00:14:24,366 --> 00:14:26,170
Go on, back inside all of you.
138
00:14:29,391 --> 00:14:31,217
Come out here you killers!
139
00:14:31,930 --> 00:14:35,059
You bastards, bring them out
here, we'll take care of them.
140
00:14:45,925 --> 00:14:48,011
Oh come on, we know damn well
none of those rats would've...
141
00:14:48,244 --> 00:14:49,592
had the courage to
leave, not a chance.
142
00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:52,162
And if one of them had tried
it we were on the scene anyway.
143
00:14:52,721 --> 00:14:53,548
Whether we like it or not...
144
00:14:53,548 --> 00:14:57,605
one of our jobs is to protect swine
like that from being lynched.
145
00:14:58,153 --> 00:14:59,584
The risk in that
kinda situation is ours.
146
00:15:00,007 --> 00:15:01,535
You're gonna begin all over again huh?
147
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:03,335
How risky a line of
work it is for your men.
148
00:15:04,017 --> 00:15:05,783
Come on Mario, when
they joined the force...
149
00:15:05,783 --> 00:15:07,324
what did they
figure on, babysitting?
150
00:15:08,218 --> 00:15:09,804
You are the typical professional cop.
151
00:15:10,053 --> 00:15:15,750
Saints, everyone's against you and any
kid that swipes an orange is a criminal.
152
00:15:16,027 --> 00:15:17,954
No one's saying that we're saints, no...
153
00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:20,539
A cop is a human being like any other.
154
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:22,954
Who when off duty
manages to enjoy himself...
155
00:15:22,954 --> 00:15:24,173
just like we're doing right now.
156
00:15:25,686 --> 00:15:27,450
Mario, how much I want
you to understand me...
157
00:15:28,229 --> 00:15:29,453
A criminal too is human.
158
00:15:30,146 --> 00:15:32,754
Criminals are created,
it's the fault of society.
159
00:15:33,486 --> 00:15:37,326
In a society such as ours it's not
surprising there's so much crime.
160
00:15:38,024 --> 00:15:39,834
Corruption's the norm
not the exception.
161
00:15:40,541 --> 00:15:45,563
Man oh man, listening to the way
you speak it like reading journalist.
162
00:15:45,846 --> 00:15:50,146
Every phrase is a title for editorial,
talk about the typical professional!
163
00:15:51,289 --> 00:15:54,046
Touch�, although you
know I was being serious.
164
00:15:54,251 --> 00:15:56,611
I know, but to be so serious at
dinner is bad for the digestion.
165
00:15:57,265 --> 00:15:59,390
I tell you what we'll do,
we'll change the subject.
166
00:15:59,930 --> 00:16:01,662
On occassions I could
punch you in the face.
167
00:16:01,896 --> 00:16:04,862
I suppose i could apply
article 336 in self defence...
168
00:16:05,210 --> 00:16:08,275
Violence to a public official,
the exercise of his functions.
169
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,086
- But now you're off duty
aren't you? - That's true.
170
00:16:11,743 --> 00:16:13,346
There's something on
your mind isn't there?
171
00:16:13,641 --> 00:16:16,032
I was just trying to imagine the
plight of those two young murderers.
172
00:16:17,186 --> 00:16:19,088
They didn't get a cent you
know, it was a failure.
173
00:16:19,819 --> 00:16:23,815
Once you've got dough it's difficult to
hide out, they depend on the underworld.
174
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:29,281
You need the money to pay,
otherwise they spurn you.
175
00:16:29,903 --> 00:16:32,134
In fact they might even
put the finger on you.
176
00:16:33,315 --> 00:16:34,987
I might as well have
stayed at home knitting.
177
00:16:35,545 --> 00:16:38,923
Mr Bertone, are we out together
or are you on duty tonight?
178
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:40,947
Yeah, you're right, i'm sorry.
179
00:16:41,521 --> 00:16:43,709
Excuse me, we'll be there in a second.
180
00:16:50,726 --> 00:16:53,266
- HQ calling 1-0, HQ calling 1-0.
- Wait.
181
00:16:53,628 --> 00:16:54,739
- Yes.
- Identify please.
182
00:16:55,016 --> 00:16:57,261
This is Bertone, what is it?
183
00:16:57,498 --> 00:17:00,135
We got a traffic cop thinks
he saw one of the killers.
184
00:17:00,712 --> 00:17:03,283
Recieved, hold him there
i'll be right down.
185
00:17:05,141 --> 00:17:09,401
- Sandra, i'm sorry but unfortunately...
- I know, I received it too.
186
00:17:09,850 --> 00:17:10,695
I'm sorry.
187
00:17:11,509 --> 00:17:15,120
- If it's a news break call
me later. - I will, good night.
188
00:17:19,103 --> 00:17:20,067
Sandra.
189
00:17:21,273 --> 00:17:25,447
- I'm sorrier than you are.
-Why, who said I was sorry?
190
00:17:28,135 --> 00:17:30,242
Do you mind telling us why
you waited all this time?
191
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:32,396
- He was afraid he'd disturb us.
- What did you see?
192
00:17:33,004 --> 00:17:34,795
Well I don't know if
he was the killer...
193
00:17:35,001 --> 00:17:36,528
I just noticed the girl
because she was cute.
194
00:17:37,655 --> 00:17:40,742
Actually, I was wondering what a girl
like that was doing with a hippie.
195
00:17:41,165 --> 00:17:43,338
He got into her car like he
had a date and everything...
196
00:17:43,632 --> 00:17:45,578
Then when I waved her on
I saw they were arguing.
197
00:17:46,501 --> 00:17:47,643
I admit I was confused...
198
00:17:47,869 --> 00:17:50,688
there were squad cars all over the
place, traffic was a real bitch.
199
00:17:50,994 --> 00:17:51,883
Yeah alright, go on.
200
00:17:52,130 --> 00:17:55,561
Well I had a hunch something was wrong
so I wrote down the license plate.
201
00:17:57,500 --> 00:17:59,167
Well that's something, have
you run a check on it yet?
202
00:17:59,167 --> 00:18:00,559
- Excuse me sir.
- We're working on it now.
203
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:02,754
- There's a call from the
commissioner. - Come with me.
204
00:18:03,929 --> 00:18:06,549
The identikit sir, turned
in a great pice of work huh?
205
00:18:07,162 --> 00:18:08,693
Marvellous but I never saw
anyone caught by identikit.
206
00:18:09,685 --> 00:18:11,787
We've got 10 witnesses and
10 different descriptions.
207
00:18:12,339 --> 00:18:13,914
Well, for what it's
worth see that...
208
00:18:13,914 --> 00:18:16,267
copies are distrubuted to the whole
list including the press office.
209
00:18:17,407 --> 00:18:18,589
This is Bertone.
210
00:18:19,890 --> 00:18:21,789
No but we may have come
up with a lead right now.
211
00:18:22,724 --> 00:18:25,889
Very well, as soon as we have
anything more definite i'll inform you.
212
00:18:27,583 --> 00:18:30,464
That mini minor sir, we checked on
the plate and I think we got a lead.
213
00:18:30,918 --> 00:18:33,070
The automobile is owned
by an 18 year old girl.
214
00:18:33,290 --> 00:18:34,363
She works as a hairdresser.
215
00:18:34,955 --> 00:18:36,628
She hasn't been seen since
she left home this morning...
216
00:18:36,873 --> 00:18:38,452
her name's Anna-Maria Sprovieri.
217
00:18:39,453 --> 00:18:41,195
Alright, go round to her
house and asked for photographs.
218
00:18:41,195 --> 00:18:44,003
Show them to that traffic cop
and see if he recognises her.
219
00:18:44,227 --> 00:18:46,051
And I don't want any leaks to
the press, at least not yet.
220
00:18:47,046 --> 00:18:48,892
Bertone, I have a question,
I think it's important.
221
00:18:49,151 --> 00:18:49,791
What is it?
222
00:18:50,025 --> 00:18:51,896
Say we track down this character,
do we use weapons or...?
223
00:18:52,727 --> 00:18:53,940
First let's find him then we'll see.
224
00:18:54,427 --> 00:18:57,421
- Still, just supposing.
- Just suppose doesn't solve anything.
225
00:18:57,590 --> 00:19:00,832
The girl's our problem, if anything
happens to her we'll be crucified.
226
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:05,602
- Get up.
- Let me go.
227
00:19:05,602 --> 00:19:07,038
- Damn you, get up.
- I can't stand.
228
00:19:07,038 --> 00:19:08,407
I don't care, get up.
229
00:19:09,645 --> 00:19:10,189
Come on.
230
00:19:27,676 --> 00:19:29,061
What do you want?
Let me go please.
231
00:19:35,428 --> 00:19:36,551
Shut up and don't move.
232
00:19:53,811 --> 00:19:56,745
- What are you gonna do, what
do you want? - Shut your face!
233
00:20:03,639 --> 00:20:04,998
Why won't you let me go, please?
234
00:20:05,201 --> 00:20:06,438
You don't hear too
good do you sister?
235
00:20:06,948 --> 00:20:08,777
I told you to quit
bothering me, now shut up.
236
00:20:09,443 --> 00:20:13,485
- My parents will be sick with worry.
- That's really touching, you know that?
237
00:20:15,988 --> 00:20:17,886
Get in the boat, I
wanna sleep for a while.
238
00:20:21,135 --> 00:20:22,227
Get up here!
239
00:20:33,751 --> 00:20:35,107
What have you done,
what are you running from?
240
00:20:37,011 --> 00:20:38,009
Get undressed.
241
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,767
I told you to get undressed.
242
00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:53,969
Get on with it, I
told you to get undressed.
243
00:21:12,431 --> 00:21:13,558
Everything, you hear?
244
00:21:16,127 --> 00:21:18,499
Everything, nude.
245
00:21:30,546 --> 00:21:34,598
- Get in there, leave all
your things here. - Filthy pig!
246
00:21:38,015 --> 00:21:39,606
You don't have to worry,
i'm not gonna rape you.
247
00:21:40,353 --> 00:21:42,480
I only wanna sleep and
make sure you stay put.
248
00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:43,989
Who are you, what have you done?
249
00:21:44,866 --> 00:21:45,736
You really wanna know?
250
00:21:46,316 --> 00:21:49,546
I tried a hold-up, it didn't
work out and I killed two people.
251
00:21:50,483 --> 00:21:52,709
So i'll blast your brains
out if you try to escape.
252
00:22:09,576 --> 00:22:10,700
Cut out the pushing will ya?
253
00:22:14,704 --> 00:22:15,859
Well, look who's here.
254
00:22:16,654 --> 00:22:19,010
We picked him up at the airport
sir, he was carrying this gun.
255
00:22:28,611 --> 00:22:31,932
- What do you know, it's a 635.
- It's not mine pal.
256
00:22:33,492 --> 00:22:35,246
You had it on you and it's not
yours, how do you figure that?
257
00:22:35,246 --> 00:22:38,729
It's a frame up Santalamenti, listen,
you bastards have been known to do it.
258
00:22:39,132 --> 00:22:41,423
Is it a coincidence it's the same
calibre used at Piazza de Fornare?
259
00:22:41,678 --> 00:22:43,661
- I don't know.
- The same calibre as this.
260
00:22:44,185 --> 00:22:46,711
Oh man, what a coincidence
is right, you're all nuts!
261
00:22:47,236 --> 00:22:48,889
We'll see, let me
have a look at that gun.
262
00:22:49,172 --> 00:22:51,510
Now get this straight, I don't know
nothing about no Piazza de Fornare.
263
00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:53,350
- Lay off will ya.
- Try that on the court.
264
00:22:53,648 --> 00:22:54,865
You're always dragging me in here.
265
00:22:55,472 --> 00:22:57,485
The minute I leave the house,
Bettarini, you're busted again.
266
00:22:57,693 --> 00:22:59,138
I bossed around like a prosciutto.
267
00:22:59,435 --> 00:23:02,399
If you think you can pin this
on me go ahead, help yourself.
268
00:23:03,242 --> 00:23:05,268
Put this babboon in a cell
until we see a lab report.
269
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:06,424
Let's go.
270
00:23:09,701 --> 00:23:13,459
This is one time he's clean, the
descriptions were for a kid half his age.
271
00:23:13,976 --> 00:23:15,522
And besides, all the
witnesses went through...
272
00:23:15,522 --> 00:23:18,298
the rogues gallery and no
one recognised his mugshot.
273
00:23:19,901 --> 00:23:22,196
He wants his lawyer sir, do we
let him use the phone or not?
274
00:23:22,444 --> 00:23:24,659
- Try a good boot in the ass,
screw his lawyer. - Oh come on.
275
00:23:25,610 --> 00:23:27,449
For god sake, that one's
already a ball cracker...
276
00:23:27,701 --> 00:23:30,052
can you imagine his ball-busting
lawyer joining the party aswell?
277
00:23:30,052 --> 00:23:31,882
Santalamenti, the law
exists and we'll obey it.
278
00:23:32,350 --> 00:23:34,072
Simmer down, you can let him call.
279
00:23:38,329 --> 00:23:40,503
Hey Bettarini, you need the book
to look up your lawyer's number?
280
00:23:41,277 --> 00:23:42,494
No, I got it memorised.
281
00:23:54,047 --> 00:23:55,778
Corinne, it's Bruno honey...
282
00:23:56,357 --> 00:23:58,837
Put me through it's urgent,
they busted me again.
283
00:23:59,091 --> 00:24:00,647
Avalano, the criminal's friend.
284
00:24:01,366 --> 00:24:04,078
Avalano, it's Bettarini,
i'm under arrest.
285
00:24:04,577 --> 00:24:05,723
I see, what did you do?
286
00:24:06,251 --> 00:24:08,732
Nothing, they're alluding to
the murder in Piazza de Fornare.
287
00:24:10,193 --> 00:24:11,081
Yeah, but you know...
288
00:24:11,363 --> 00:24:14,054
Sure i'm innocent but they
planted a gun on me so i'm kinda...
289
00:24:19,128 --> 00:24:19,846
Sure, yeah.
290
00:24:21,270 --> 00:24:24,973
He says you guys are kidding,
smug bastards you like to joke.
291
00:24:31,636 --> 00:24:32,440
You bastards!
292
00:24:33,585 --> 00:24:35,643
They're beating me, Avalano!
293
00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:39,508
Avalano, you hear this?
294
00:24:40,565 --> 00:24:41,578
They're beating me.
295
00:24:47,675 --> 00:24:48,643
What the hell are you doing?
296
00:24:49,645 --> 00:24:50,531
Let go of him you idiot!
297
00:24:51,314 --> 00:24:52,434
Don't you realise it's
just what he wanted?
298
00:24:54,531 --> 00:24:56,742
Hello, hello?
299
00:25:03,094 --> 00:25:05,025
How can you dummies fall
for a trick like that?
300
00:25:06,459 --> 00:25:09,619
- Think you've screwed us again don't
you? - Careful, i'm very delicate.
301
00:25:12,247 --> 00:25:15,194
According to the medical
report, fractured nose and cheek...
302
00:25:16,270 --> 00:25:19,079
Contusions around the eyes,
cracked rib on the left side...
303
00:25:19,957 --> 00:25:24,258
Severe lacerations and contusions to
the scalp and bruises all over the body.
304
00:25:25,213 --> 00:25:28,908
It's a terrible thing, manhandled
with the ridiculous excuse...
305
00:25:28,908 --> 00:25:30,285
that it was he who began it.
306
00:25:30,828 --> 00:25:32,935
You've read what happened in my
report and I have nothing to add.
307
00:25:33,562 --> 00:25:35,480
No, but fortunately for my
client it requires more than...
308
00:25:35,681 --> 00:25:37,640
the word of the
police to sway a jury.
309
00:25:39,262 --> 00:25:41,851
Well put, today the word of
an ex-con would suffice.
310
00:25:42,494 --> 00:25:44,627
I don't want you arguing in
my office, please gentlemen.
311
00:25:46,531 --> 00:25:49,187
As you know, Bettarini
is charging you with...
312
00:25:49,187 --> 00:25:51,635
assault and battery...
police brutality.
313
00:25:52,246 --> 00:25:54,945
I don't see any readson to dignify
these ridiculous charges with comment.
314
00:25:55,465 --> 00:25:57,940
Look here Bertone, you in fact
personally assualted my client.
315
00:25:58,192 --> 00:26:00,065
- Who don't you hold your
tongue you... - Bertone!
316
00:26:00,653 --> 00:26:01,449
I'm sorry.
317
00:26:02,337 --> 00:26:04,136
Avalano, naturally we'll look into it.
318
00:26:06,214 --> 00:26:09,109
Somethign else, bail
bond for my client.
319
00:26:09,330 --> 00:26:12,119
It's out of the question,
Bettarini was found armed.
320
00:26:12,888 --> 00:26:16,088
Yes but investigation has found that
the gun was not the one used in the...
321
00:26:16,406 --> 00:26:20,152
Avalano, I don't intend to be
instructed in criminal law.
322
00:26:21,152 --> 00:26:23,126
When i've reached a
decision i'll let you know.
323
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,533
Very well Mr Ricciuti, goodbye.
324
00:26:27,003 --> 00:26:29,085
See you around, see you around.
325
00:26:31,540 --> 00:26:32,955
Are you gonna press charges against me?
326
00:26:34,236 --> 00:26:36,268
The charge is brutality,
there's not much choice Bertone.
327
00:26:37,558 --> 00:26:40,889
We get on the ass of the criminals
and the politicians get on...
328
00:26:41,125 --> 00:26:42,516
Watch how you speak inspector!
329
00:26:43,056 --> 00:26:45,394
- We're in the palace of justice.
- Strange justice.
330
00:26:46,507 --> 00:26:48,701
Where it acquits Bettarini
for lack of evidence.
331
00:26:50,337 --> 00:26:53,164
You're a hard man to beat,
don't you ever have doubts?
332
00:26:58,442 --> 00:26:59,892
It's a nice boneyard for the retired.
333
00:27:01,861 --> 00:27:03,671
You'll retire one day too, you'll see.
334
00:27:04,015 --> 00:27:05,355
You've read the papers, we're nowhere.
335
00:27:06,413 --> 00:27:09,456
Yes, so I see, i'm following
the case with great interest.
336
00:27:10,091 --> 00:27:14,278
That's why I wanted to see you this
evening, I want to help you if possible.
337
00:27:14,896 --> 00:27:16,757
Needless to day I
appreciate the offer but...
338
00:27:16,757 --> 00:27:21,230
Oh well, I still have friends in
the department, many friends but...
339
00:27:22,719 --> 00:27:27,006
Just between ourselves, is
there anything to this story?
340
00:27:27,781 --> 00:27:31,399
That is absolutely false from A to Z,
he's got a clever lawyer, that's all.
341
00:27:32,218 --> 00:27:34,023
Yes I see, I can
understand you being worried.
342
00:27:35,019 --> 00:27:36,905
You know I was under
investiagtion once myself when...
343
00:27:37,112 --> 00:27:39,125
I was inspector,
if that's any consolation.
344
00:27:40,448 --> 00:27:43,223
I'm at the point of losing all
conviction, all motivation.
345
00:27:43,804 --> 00:27:47,060
Oridinary police routine has become
a farce, we're practically powerless.
346
00:27:47,994 --> 00:27:51,150
The underworld buggers us and
the press rams it in deeper.
347
00:27:51,788 --> 00:27:56,286
Look, if you'll take my advice,
just go your own way...
348
00:27:57,173 --> 00:28:02,033
Let them do whatever they want and don't
let yourself be cut down by the press.
349
00:28:02,975 --> 00:28:03,753
Counter attack.
350
00:28:04,468 --> 00:28:07,591
In fact I was already planning
to hold a press conference.
351
00:28:14,675 --> 00:28:16,687
Hey inspector, is this
your idea of a joke?
352
00:28:16,891 --> 00:28:20,233
This is the first time I ever heard of
a press conference being held on a bus.
353
00:28:21,046 --> 00:28:23,083
You haven't understood a darn
thing, he's putting us all in jail.
354
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:24,315
Lend me your ears...
355
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:27,780
Rome by night you all know well but
nobody knows it as well as I do...
356
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,492
Not after being a cop in
this city for 25 years.
357
00:28:31,147 --> 00:28:33,879
I want to show you what the forces of
law and order are up against these days.
358
00:28:34,127 --> 00:28:37,232
Hey Bertone, give us the truth, what
are you doing, going into the PR game?
359
00:28:47,110 --> 00:28:50,169
Sanborito, since you can't enforce any
law, ask those two to get on the bus.
360
00:28:54,177 --> 00:28:56,216
We're gonna start with an
explanation of how it goes today...
361
00:28:56,419 --> 00:28:58,482
the so-called oldest
profession in the world.
362
00:28:58,995 --> 00:29:01,785
Our first guest is In�s,
better known as the queen of vice.
363
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,240
- I was just walking you know.
- Sure you were, a bit of night air.
364
00:29:06,558 --> 00:29:10,087
This belle of the night is well aware
that the Merlin law protects her.
365
00:29:10,460 --> 00:29:13,156
If she isn't caught in the moment
she's actually soliciting...
366
00:29:15,247 --> 00:29:16,791
she can turn as many
tricks as she wants.
367
00:29:17,902 --> 00:29:19,900
But as In�s knows the law
is a double-edged sword.
368
00:29:20,535 --> 00:29:24,209
She's free to walk her beat but she
is not at liberty to quit that beat.
369
00:29:25,105 --> 00:29:27,400
Let's say she got it into her
head to quit the profession...
370
00:29:28,088 --> 00:29:31,397
Or even worse,
to denounce her fancy man...
371
00:29:32,425 --> 00:29:34,745
within 24 hours the homicide
squad would find her with...
372
00:29:34,966 --> 00:29:37,537
her throat cut or with
her head bashed in.
373
00:29:38,286 --> 00:29:42,420
But she can operate under the
law and so can her protector...
374
00:29:43,046 --> 00:29:45,462
under the new interpretation of
the laws imposed on the police...
375
00:29:45,696 --> 00:29:47,396
his immunity is almost guaranteed.
376
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,916
We need a magistrate to issue
a warrant for his arrest...
377
00:29:51,275 --> 00:29:54,539
but the magistrate won't, or rather
he's not able to issue it...
378
00:29:54,895 --> 00:29:58,191
that is unless the girl denounces
her pimp in a legal manner...
379
00:29:58,406 --> 00:30:00,182
but this of course
is an unlikely event.
380
00:30:00,932 --> 00:30:02,325
And before the so-called Merlin law...
381
00:30:02,325 --> 00:30:04,976
the girls were free to go
from one house to another...
382
00:30:05,417 --> 00:30:08,411
in which case the state pimp was
and you might add the police.
383
00:30:08,794 --> 00:30:10,873
No one is saying that the
situation was better before...
384
00:30:11,266 --> 00:30:13,099
what is certain though
is that today...
385
00:30:13,099 --> 00:30:15,906
prostitution is the Swiss
bank of the underworld.
386
00:30:16,594 --> 00:30:19,343
Experts say that the turnover,
give or take the odd million...
387
00:30:19,343 --> 00:30:21,730
is 350 billion lira a year.
388
00:30:21,730 --> 00:30:25,863
Now you're all aware that to organise a
robbery, a job, it takes financing...
389
00:30:26,189 --> 00:30:29,386
and robberies often provoke homicides...
390
00:30:29,987 --> 00:30:32,034
which could be avoided if we
could turn off the money flow...
391
00:30:32,482 --> 00:30:34,853
but we can't, the Merlin law
is virtually screwing us...
392
00:30:35,244 --> 00:30:38,914
it amounts to laissez-faire for
prostituion and its exploiters.
393
00:30:39,597 --> 00:30:41,787
Well, that's all.
Alright miss, you can go.
394
00:30:43,127 --> 00:30:44,961
- Ever tried it?
- Get out of here!
395
00:30:47,050 --> 00:30:47,783
Alright, let's go.
396
00:30:56,778 --> 00:30:57,732
Don't worry about it.
397
00:31:12,551 --> 00:31:14,967
Hey princess, mind stepping
into the bus for a moment?
398
00:31:22,178 --> 00:31:23,860
And now the other side of
the coin, ladies & gentlemen.
399
00:31:24,427 --> 00:31:26,950
Meet Orazio Columbo,
known as "The Princess".
400
00:31:27,437 --> 00:31:30,263
I'm sure most of you find her
scandalous and I must admit...
401
00:31:30,263 --> 00:31:33,535
her modus vivendi is enough to make
most people sick to the stomach.
402
00:31:33,770 --> 00:31:35,373
- He's such a bore.
- We get enquiries...
403
00:31:36,714 --> 00:31:40,269
and so do you, asking how come sweethearts
like this are allowed to operate?
404
00:31:40,566 --> 00:31:42,302
Well i'll tell you a
little about his life.
405
00:31:44,138 --> 00:31:47,571
Although our young friend here earns
his living with the sweat of his ass...
406
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,577
his main source of income derives from
threatening certain customers he'll tell.
407
00:31:53,139 --> 00:31:54,470
- In other words, blackmail.
- He's lying.
408
00:31:55,287 --> 00:31:58,726
Now most of his victims cough
up to retain their anonymity.
409
00:31:59,089 --> 00:32:02,109
Although occassionally someone with
courage will lodge a complaint.
410
00:32:02,484 --> 00:32:05,759
But this lucky whore...
you don't mind? - On the contrary!
411
00:32:07,689 --> 00:32:11,117
This lucky whore had the good
fortune to be caught while...
412
00:32:11,117 --> 00:32:13,799
consumating a most
unnatural act with...
413
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:16,780
a very highly placed politician
with a wife and grown children.
414
00:32:17,263 --> 00:32:20,841
Someone disappeared, certain
assistant DA's were promoted...
415
00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:24,897
and unlucky footsoldiers like me were
almost transferred to the boondocks.
416
00:32:25,868 --> 00:32:28,163
Exiled! That's your number
sweetheart, on your way.
417
00:32:28,375 --> 00:32:29,683
- Bon nuit!
- Bye bye!
418
00:32:50,541 --> 00:32:51,865
There's one of the city's jails.
419
00:32:51,865 --> 00:32:54,237
Inside there are at least
2,000 men awaiting trial.
420
00:32:54,661 --> 00:32:58,902
heisters, counterfeiters, pushers,
buyers, killers and embezzlers...
421
00:32:59,115 --> 00:33:00,305
you name them, we've got them.
422
00:33:01,267 --> 00:33:03,767
Now to actually arrest all
these enemies of society...
423
00:33:04,356 --> 00:33:06,587
the police force has to
break it's collective back.
424
00:33:07,371 --> 00:33:10,194
That not withstanding,
how many of them do you think...
425
00:33:10,403 --> 00:33:12,473
will eventually stand
trial and be convicted?
426
00:33:12,968 --> 00:33:15,015
I'll tell you, no more than 10%.
427
00:33:15,301 --> 00:33:18,041
Because the legal profession applies the law...
428
00:33:18,256 --> 00:33:21,916
not to further the cause of justice but
to procrastinate till the next amnesty...
429
00:33:21,916 --> 00:33:24,153
so before long most criminals
are back in the street.
430
00:33:24,947 --> 00:33:28,111
And with their skills,
honed to a 't' in prison...
431
00:33:28,348 --> 00:33:30,126
the state runs schools for criminals.
432
00:33:30,514 --> 00:33:33,043
It's was a very interesting
tour Inspector Bertone but...
433
00:33:33,043 --> 00:33:34,916
we're all curious about one thing...
434
00:33:35,406 --> 00:33:37,069
Why haven't you once
mentioned the charge of...
435
00:33:37,069 --> 00:33:39,222
police brutality brought
against you by Betterini?
436
00:33:39,567 --> 00:33:44,103
Good question, now i'd like to
tell you about justice in Italy.
437
00:33:45,647 --> 00:33:46,417
Write that Bertone says...
438
00:33:46,622 --> 00:33:48,664
"There's something out of
kilter in our legal procedure".
439
00:33:49,764 --> 00:33:51,716
The system that accuses me
on the word of an ex-con...
440
00:33:52,199 --> 00:33:54,633
and in the same breath,
acquits an avowed criminal...
441
00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:58,723
on the grounds of insufficient evidence,
needs to have it's house put in order.
442
00:34:13,711 --> 00:34:15,182
Inspector, come take a look at this mess.
443
00:34:25,487 --> 00:34:26,204
Who did it, you?
444
00:34:26,470 --> 00:34:28,405
Are you kidding inspector?
This is the way I found him.
445
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,839
We got a telephone call, the caller says...
446
00:34:30,839 --> 00:34:33,778
this guys knows something about the
motorcycle used in Piazza de Fornare.
447
00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:36,004
This is the bike over here.
448
00:34:41,479 --> 00:34:43,539
The plates are gone and the
frame number's been filed off.
449
00:34:44,288 --> 00:34:47,282
Unless that punk talks it'll be
days before we find out who owns it.
450
00:34:47,537 --> 00:34:50,325
Alright, leave it where it is and don't
touch it till the lab boys look at it.
451
00:34:51,542 --> 00:34:54,047
I'd like to know if someone was trying
to shut him up or make him talk.
452
00:34:54,586 --> 00:34:56,913
Be careful, don't let
him out of your sight.
453
00:34:58,728 --> 00:34:59,300
Come on.
454
00:35:04,167 --> 00:35:05,149
Alright, let's go through it again.
455
00:35:05,559 --> 00:35:07,911
Why did you have the motorcycle
covered, why were you hiding it?
456
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:14,639
Look, every minute that passes
could cost you a year in jail.
457
00:35:15,369 --> 00:35:16,350
Now who owns the bike?
458
00:35:18,149 --> 00:35:20,748
I told you all I know,
why are you still asking?
459
00:35:21,576 --> 00:35:23,437
Go away and stop bothering me.
460
00:35:23,718 --> 00:35:25,429
Who did this to you?
Did they do it, these gentlemen?
461
00:35:27,247 --> 00:35:30,645
- Who the hell's this guy?
- This guy's assistant DA Ricciuti.
462
00:35:31,191 --> 00:35:32,449
- Listen Ricciuti...
- Now who beat you up, answer me?
463
00:35:32,713 --> 00:35:34,275
Who inflicted these injuries?
464
00:35:34,795 --> 00:35:35,773
Look Ricciuti,
we're trying to find...
465
00:35:35,773 --> 00:35:37,910
two murderers and a girl
who's been reported missing.
466
00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:39,801
The girl could be dead soon
if we don't get to her.
467
00:35:39,801 --> 00:35:41,346
Now may I question
this character or not?
468
00:35:42,075 --> 00:35:44,885
Yes, by all means continue Bertone,
though i'm warning you...
469
00:35:45,213 --> 00:35:47,681
I'm warning you I intend to find
out who inflicted those injuries.
470
00:35:52,922 --> 00:35:54,652
Now this is your last chance
and you'd better answer...
471
00:35:55,023 --> 00:35:56,351
in an hour we'll know anyway...
472
00:35:56,603 --> 00:35:59,505
and you'll lose all possibilty of
not being charged with complicity.
473
00:36:00,490 --> 00:36:03,072
I don't wanna talk to you, only you.
474
00:36:09,261 --> 00:36:11,748
The motorcycle belongs
to a kid called Mario.
475
00:36:12,017 --> 00:36:16,895
- Mario what? - I don't know,
Mario's all he told me.
476
00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:18,955
Do you know where he lives?
477
00:36:19,678 --> 00:36:22,559
On the Tuscolana,
right near the car factory.
478
00:36:23,775 --> 00:36:26,537
- What about work?
- He hangs around.
479
00:36:27,492 --> 00:36:30,517
You can do better than that, there
must be several thousand Marios there.
480
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:36,506
You just ask for the fella who plays
extras in westerns, everyone knows him.
481
00:36:36,929 --> 00:36:37,661
Come on.
482
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,826
Guess he'll know I squealed,
he's gonna get me.
483
00:36:45,606 --> 00:36:48,752
I want to know,
who was it, who did this to you?
484
00:36:49,631 --> 00:36:51,691
- Two bricks.
- Sure it wasn't them?
485
00:36:52,232 --> 00:36:55,215
No, another two, beat me silly...
486
00:36:55,928 --> 00:36:59,112
I though I was gonna die but
they ran when they got the name.
487
00:37:00,115 --> 00:37:03,183
But they were kinda strange for cops.
488
00:37:09,504 --> 00:37:11,937
- Nothing. - Alright senora, where's Mario?
489
00:37:12,250 --> 00:37:14,511
If you lousy cops don't know
what do you expect from me?
490
00:37:14,839 --> 00:37:16,810
We told you, we don't have
him under arrest, now tell me.
491
00:37:17,085 --> 00:37:18,429
You just don't wanna know do you?
492
00:37:18,793 --> 00:37:20,718
It was two of your guys
that dragged him outta here.
493
00:37:21,156 --> 00:37:22,486
Why don't you go down
there and check your jail.
494
00:37:25,041 --> 00:37:28,818
Looks like somebody has a jump on us,
first with the mechanic, now with Mario.
495
00:37:29,020 --> 00:37:32,893
- Think it's a carabinieri?
- Maybe, take them downtown.
496
00:37:33,449 --> 00:37:35,057
Let's go ladies,
we'll give you a free ride.
497
00:37:35,686 --> 00:37:37,371
All the way to prison
if you had your way.
498
00:37:39,883 --> 00:37:40,923
Take you hands off me!
499
00:37:43,779 --> 00:37:45,557
No one knows anything,
I checked all the precincts.
500
00:37:47,463 --> 00:37:49,102
- Alright, try the carabinieri.
- Right.
501
00:37:50,894 --> 00:37:53,344
Now, who were these two
who came and took him away?
502
00:37:53,546 --> 00:37:55,496
Cops, in plain clothes.
503
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:57,434
I told you, the police,
didn't you hear?
504
00:37:57,868 --> 00:37:59,585
Insp. Santalamenti, homicide.
505
00:38:00,082 --> 00:38:01,907
We're looking for a Mario Statterini.
506
00:38:02,276 --> 00:38:05,980
Yeah, domicile 1840 Via Tuscalana,
is he in your custody?
507
00:38:06,572 --> 00:38:09,755
Statterini, Mario?
One moment, I call the super.
508
00:38:10,649 --> 00:38:13,390
Now senora we'll go over it again,
please try to recall everything.
509
00:38:13,657 --> 00:38:16,230
They ring the bell,
say it's the police, right?
510
00:38:16,717 --> 00:38:18,897
- Your sister goes to open...
- What's this sis shit?!
511
00:38:19,147 --> 00:38:22,111
Alright, excuse me,
your daughter goes to open it...
512
00:38:22,406 --> 00:38:23,520
Now they enter...
513
00:38:23,936 --> 00:38:27,510
Nothing, you're sure of that?
Of course it's very important.
514
00:38:27,950 --> 00:38:29,989
If you want i'll run a check on it.
515
00:38:30,446 --> 00:38:31,580
You said you could a good look at him,
516
00:38:31,805 --> 00:38:33,408
well surely you can
furnish a description.
517
00:38:34,175 --> 00:38:35,980
Now come on, short, fat, thin, tall?
518
00:38:36,588 --> 00:38:39,229
- The carabineri don't know
him at all. - Might've guessed.
519
00:38:39,444 --> 00:38:40,567
Well that leaves narcotics squad...
520
00:38:40,567 --> 00:38:42,786
pushing, buying or using,
try them, you never know.
521
00:38:44,175 --> 00:38:47,665
- Well? - I already told you,
they were two cops.
522
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:49,771
Yeah, two cops, you said that,
but how did they treat him?
523
00:38:50,322 --> 00:38:52,860
- You forget that too? - The bastards
nearly killed the poor kid.
524
00:38:53,322 --> 00:38:56,026
We found something sir,
autographs of Statterini.
525
00:38:56,666 --> 00:38:58,885
- Good. Your son?
- Yeah, that's my son.
526
00:39:00,958 --> 00:39:04,452
- Here, have a look.
- A face only a mother could love!
527
00:39:06,044 --> 00:39:08,419
The union boss at the extras
came up with the photos and...
528
00:39:08,653 --> 00:39:11,198
he told me a lot about
the little rat aswell.
529
00:39:11,923 --> 00:39:15,546
This Mario specialises in snatching
purses, he's no longer working in films...
530
00:39:15,783 --> 00:39:17,867
his sister sells her ass and
his mother keeps the bucks.
531
00:39:18,246 --> 00:39:21,805
- Family togetherness, Italian style.
- Send them home.
532
00:39:22,645 --> 00:39:25,418
Ok, make 1,000 copies, general
distribution, the press aswell.
533
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,008
Let's hope the
De Fornare witnesses identify him.
534
00:39:32,944 --> 00:39:36,356
Tell me... what do you think?
535
00:39:37,167 --> 00:39:38,789
I'd say we're getting
somewhere finally.
536
00:39:40,496 --> 00:39:43,843
Yet I have the feeling
we're running a poor second.
537
00:39:52,503 --> 00:39:53,993
What is this, you guys trying
to be funny or something?
538
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:04,204
You dummies gonna answer me or not?
539
00:40:45,372 --> 00:40:48,464
Hey, where are you taking me?
Listen, I want a lawyer.
540
00:40:49,305 --> 00:40:50,662
I ain't gonna tell you
nothing without a lawyer.
541
00:40:51,479 --> 00:40:52,942
Don't push me!
542
00:40:56,019 --> 00:40:56,903
You guys leave me alone now.
543
00:41:03,685 --> 00:41:06,477
You guys think you scare me
or something with this act?
544
00:41:06,792 --> 00:41:08,770
You got less than a minute
to say your prayers.
545
00:41:09,643 --> 00:41:10,954
What are you gonna do?
546
00:41:14,811 --> 00:41:17,713
What have I done? I ain't done
nothing, you can't do this to me.
547
00:41:29,722 --> 00:41:30,172
Fire!
548
00:42:13,436 --> 00:42:15,812
I don't know about you but it looks to
me like it was done by professionals.
549
00:42:16,167 --> 00:42:19,239
I figure there were at least 5 or 6 of
them, they used 38s, police specials.
550
00:42:19,490 --> 00:42:23,227
Professional alright. Very much like
an execution old fashioned style.
551
00:42:23,783 --> 00:42:25,591
Are you nostalgic for
the death penalty Bertone?
552
00:42:26,155 --> 00:42:27,117
Why do you say that?
553
00:42:29,036 --> 00:42:31,954
All I gotta do is catch them,
the sentencing is up to the judges.
554
00:42:33,941 --> 00:42:36,912
But now that you mention it Ricciuti,
wasn't there a big shot who...
555
00:42:37,117 --> 00:42:39,366
came out recently in favour of
restoring capital punishment?
556
00:42:41,455 --> 00:42:44,872
- What are you driving at inspector?
- Oh nothing, just a vague idea.
557
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,260
One thing for sure,
that reeks of fanatacism.
558
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:52,031
Well, could be the
explanation's not quite so esoteric...
559
00:42:52,686 --> 00:42:55,870
In all probability he was
preparing to turn his pals in...
560
00:42:56,244 --> 00:42:57,179
they made sure he didn't.
561
00:42:57,447 --> 00:42:58,445
Your in the crime level syndrome...
562
00:42:58,771 --> 00:43:01,037
that's a little too
imaginitive for our local underworld.
563
00:43:05,260 --> 00:43:08,760
The body has been positively identified
as one Mario Statterini whom...
564
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,398
the police have been
hunting in connection with...
565
00:43:10,398 --> 00:43:14,589
the attempted robbery in Piazza de
Fornare in which two persons were killed.
566
00:43:15,331 --> 00:43:17,743
The police report
no further clues as to...
567
00:43:17,947 --> 00:43:21,062
the identity or whereabouts of
Statterini's presumed accomplice...
568
00:43:21,545 --> 00:43:23,744
who is believed to be
holding a young woman hostage.
569
00:43:25,092 --> 00:43:27,993
In the meantime, the district
attorney's office reports...
570
00:43:28,206 --> 00:43:30,379
the provisional release
of Francesco Bettarini...
571
00:43:30,671 --> 00:43:32,814
who had been arrested in
connection with the case.
572
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,720
Ballistics tests proved that...
573
00:43:35,935 --> 00:43:38,621
the gun found on Bettarini
was not the murder weapon.
574
00:43:40,557 --> 00:43:42,240
Hey what is this,
what do you guys want?
575
00:43:47,985 --> 00:43:49,602
Yeah I got it, ok, ok.
576
00:43:53,065 --> 00:43:56,008
Well here we go again,
you boys never learn do you?
577
00:43:56,315 --> 00:43:58,262
Why ain't you out catching crooks huh?
578
00:43:58,541 --> 00:44:01,957
How often do I have to tell you,
I wan't near the Piazza de Fornare.
579
00:44:04,921 --> 00:44:07,215
- This isn't about Piazza de Fornare.
- Then what the hell do you want?
580
00:44:08,758 --> 00:44:11,566
You killed a nightwatchman at
PhotoMechanica, or don't you remember?
581
00:44:14,514 --> 00:44:17,435
But you guys forget that I
already stood trial on that charge.
582
00:44:17,979 --> 00:44:21,238
You understand coppers, I said I
stood trial and was found innocent.
583
00:44:21,714 --> 00:44:22,457
We know that.
584
00:44:22,705 --> 00:44:23,876
Well according to the
laws of this country...
585
00:44:23,876 --> 00:44:26,871
they can't try you twice on the
same charge, you must know that.
586
00:44:27,311 --> 00:44:30,446
And more to the point, I can admit
right now that I actually did it...
587
00:44:30,648 --> 00:44:32,503
and nobody could
do anything about it.
588
00:44:32,703 --> 00:44:36,026
- Why don't you admit it?
- Be careful, you heard about the cat.
589
00:44:36,435 --> 00:44:39,993
We're not curious, we know,
we know all about you.
590
00:44:42,826 --> 00:44:43,727
What do you mean?
591
00:44:51,696 --> 00:44:52,450
Where are we?
592
00:44:54,461 --> 00:44:55,970
What are you guys
trying to do anyway?
593
00:44:57,158 --> 00:44:58,206
Hey come on!
594
00:45:02,070 --> 00:45:03,895
For Christ's sake,
what do you want from me?
595
00:45:10,421 --> 00:45:13,396
No, no! But you ain't the fuzz!
596
00:45:16,227 --> 00:45:18,297
What I do to you fellas,
what I do to you?
597
00:45:21,371 --> 00:45:24,271
What are you doing?
598
00:45:58,372 --> 00:45:59,664
Yes but do you see
any connection between...
599
00:45:59,664 --> 00:46:02,545
the murders of this Mario
and our friend Bettarini?
600
00:46:02,870 --> 00:46:07,056
No, right now the only one I can
make is that they were both killers.
601
00:46:09,113 --> 00:46:11,713
Coincidentally that they
were both eluding justice.
602
00:46:12,883 --> 00:46:15,224
Does this make any sense to you?
603
00:46:16,756 --> 00:46:18,001
Say someone was
interested in showing...
604
00:46:18,521 --> 00:46:22,683
our system of democracy is
unable to curb the underworld.
605
00:46:23,235 --> 00:46:26,578
They got some idea to promote
a clean up job of their own.
606
00:46:28,094 --> 00:46:30,114
Now what do you think would be
the most likely way to go about it?
607
00:46:30,996 --> 00:46:33,858
As I see it you pick two killers
who had good coverage recently...
608
00:46:34,263 --> 00:46:35,834
you know, papers and TV...
609
00:46:38,062 --> 00:46:41,709
and make an example of them and win
yourself the support of the public.
610
00:46:50,928 --> 00:46:52,360
Well now you've exploded
your little bomb...
611
00:46:52,829 --> 00:46:54,720
I hope you aren't going to
get caught by the blast.
612
00:46:55,121 --> 00:46:57,203
Listen, they asked for my
opinion and I expressed it.
613
00:46:57,715 --> 00:47:00,318
Fools step in where
angels fear to tread.
614
00:47:02,471 --> 00:47:04,699
Vigilantes, anonymous
society, are you mad?!
615
00:47:04,997 --> 00:47:07,399
Bertone, how could you even
consider giving out this kinda story?
616
00:47:07,604 --> 00:47:09,697
The whole thing's a load of
nonsense, complete nonsense.
617
00:47:09,993 --> 00:47:11,335
Well I happen not to agree.
618
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,782
So it's lousy publicity, it's also true.
619
00:47:14,003 --> 00:47:16,211
Bertone, please try and
look at my side of it.
620
00:47:16,634 --> 00:47:19,615
Do you mind suggesting what I
say to the police commissioner?
621
00:47:31,645 --> 00:47:33,647
Your theory's ridiculous,
positively ridiculous.
622
00:47:34,444 --> 00:47:37,106
As if the Mafia in Sicily and
kidnappers in Sardinia weren't enough.
623
00:47:37,497 --> 00:47:39,929
Now you want to add a
gang of vigilantes in Rome.
624
00:47:40,786 --> 00:47:41,817
What'll I say to the minister?
625
00:47:44,786 --> 00:47:47,069
Come in, come in, although
you'll have to excuse me...
626
00:47:48,144 --> 00:47:50,037
I have to be off in a few minutes
so we'll have to make it brief.
627
00:47:50,609 --> 00:47:51,311
Leave us alone.
628
00:47:53,106 --> 00:47:54,229
I will say at the outset that...
629
00:47:54,435 --> 00:47:56,589
the government gives no credence
to this story, it's incredible.
630
00:47:56,817 --> 00:47:57,596
That's the police opinion too.
631
00:47:58,975 --> 00:48:03,294
But personally i'm very
worried... the problem exists.
632
00:48:04,492 --> 00:48:06,722
We're suffering a wave of
murder, robbery and rape...
633
00:48:07,162 --> 00:48:11,022
and the desire of the citizen to
create his own justice is understandable.
634
00:48:11,543 --> 00:48:13,370
Sir, may I say with all
due respect of course...
635
00:48:13,978 --> 00:48:17,610
you know the hands of the police are
tied and measures must be taken to...
636
00:48:18,469 --> 00:48:19,701
to give us more freedom.
637
00:48:20,194 --> 00:48:22,949
Go ahead, since we're confronted
with an emergency situation...
638
00:48:23,356 --> 00:48:25,301
let's adopt emergency
measures to fight it.
639
00:48:26,331 --> 00:48:28,623
- For example?
- For example we could begin by...
640
00:48:28,623 --> 00:48:30,823
suspending certain rights
provided under the law...
641
00:48:30,823 --> 00:48:33,303
in respect to civil
liberties during questioning.
642
00:48:34,167 --> 00:48:36,147
It's the encouraging
results in 24 hours.
643
00:48:37,047 --> 00:48:39,081
I appreciate your feelings
but do not condone them.
644
00:48:39,949 --> 00:48:42,496
A return to the past
is very difficult.
645
00:48:43,140 --> 00:48:44,751
The many thousands of
honest citizens who were...
646
00:48:44,751 --> 00:48:47,866
mistreated by the police in
the old days would not accept it.
647
00:48:50,393 --> 00:48:53,277
I'm told that you believe in the
existence of this organisation?
648
00:48:53,603 --> 00:48:55,616
Whether the organisation
exists or not sir,
649
00:48:55,871 --> 00:48:58,206
I fear that we're on the edge of...
650
00:48:58,206 --> 00:49:00,680
a wave of violence in this
country that has no precedence.
651
00:49:08,287 --> 00:49:11,081
Hello, a little fun?
652
00:49:18,566 --> 00:49:19,950
A whole bunch of you huh?
653
00:49:21,027 --> 00:49:22,947
That's ok by me as
long as you pay more.
654
00:49:26,394 --> 00:49:29,107
Well come on, don't just
sit there, what is this?
655
00:49:49,904 --> 00:49:53,348
Sorry pal, you want this, that's
the deal, no bread no head.
656
00:49:53,615 --> 00:49:54,953
No, it's not that I want
something for nothing...
657
00:49:55,183 --> 00:49:59,012
I do want to pay, you're so good
looking, but I won't pay in advance.
658
00:49:59,355 --> 00:50:03,099
Advance schmance, I ain't going nowhere
if I don't get the money in my pocket...
659
00:50:03,099 --> 00:50:04,360
You get the message now sweetie?
660
00:50:08,433 --> 00:50:09,041
Oh don't act like that...
661
00:50:09,244 --> 00:50:11,136
i'm just afraid you'll run
off and leave me for a stranger.
662
00:50:12,484 --> 00:50:14,805
Oh for pity's sake, go find
yourself another lollipop...
663
00:50:15,070 --> 00:50:16,488
You faggot's can be a pain in the ass.
664
00:50:18,034 --> 00:50:19,363
Hey you, come here a minute.
665
00:50:19,363 --> 00:50:20,501
- Who, me?
- Yes you.
666
00:50:21,938 --> 00:50:22,966
Don't say i'm arrested...
667
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,965
I've done nothing,
I was only asking directions.
668
00:50:26,277 --> 00:50:27,380
I know, shut up!
669
00:50:29,634 --> 00:50:31,224
Who are you, squad?
670
00:50:31,874 --> 00:50:35,115
Listen, i'll pay, whatever you want.
671
00:50:35,789 --> 00:50:37,624
Let me go eh? 100 a piece?
672
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:40,870
That's enough!
673
00:50:42,387 --> 00:50:45,825
There's been a terrible mistake,
I was only asking directions.
674
00:50:47,747 --> 00:50:50,743
Tell you what, i'll make it 150.
675
00:51:58,706 --> 00:52:01,152
Looks like the "clean up squad" has
chalked up another one inspector.
676
00:52:01,875 --> 00:52:02,484
Yeah.
677
00:52:18,235 --> 00:52:20,949
I heard you Bertone, yes,
the "clean up squad".
678
00:52:21,672 --> 00:52:24,655
Now listen Bertone, how long
have you been with homicide?
679
00:52:24,901 --> 00:52:27,615
How many streetwalkers,
prostitutes and alike...
680
00:52:27,615 --> 00:52:29,826
have been killed in Rome
in the last 20 years?
681
00:52:30,513 --> 00:52:32,839
Not to mention the pederast
who met the same end.
682
00:52:33,257 --> 00:52:35,692
Yes I know, but I tell you
this third murder is different.
683
00:52:35,958 --> 00:52:38,126
You recall that union
leader Peter Dini?
684
00:52:38,562 --> 00:52:40,309
That's right, the guy
we pulled in for...
685
00:52:40,309 --> 00:52:42,149
killing an officer during
that riot last year.
686
00:52:42,149 --> 00:52:44,042
Yeah, he was acquitted
but he cooked his goose.
687
00:52:44,646 --> 00:52:46,494
So it's not only hardened
criminals they're after.
688
00:52:46,969 --> 00:52:48,626
What do we do?
Sit around and watch them.
689
00:52:49,208 --> 00:52:51,354
Look Bertone, it's a
ridiculous hypothesis...
690
00:52:51,853 --> 00:52:53,947
Why don't you give
yourself a break?
691
00:52:55,764 --> 00:52:59,281
Alright, I will.
I'm sorry to disturb you.
692
00:53:06,323 --> 00:53:09,722
No no my dear boy, we mustn't
let ourselves get sidetracked.
693
00:53:10,516 --> 00:53:13,407
You see whatever's
happened is very logical.
694
00:53:13,407 --> 00:53:16,132
Naturally the logic
precludes to a secret society...
695
00:53:16,382 --> 00:53:17,787
such as the one
we're confronted with.
696
00:53:18,564 --> 00:53:22,513
Mind you, I do agree with you that
such an organisation does exist.
697
00:53:23,214 --> 00:53:26,791
You see, with organisations of
this type, the Mafia for instance,
698
00:53:27,098 --> 00:53:30,618
they're not in a position to
apply ordinary measures.
699
00:53:31,197 --> 00:53:35,226
It stands to reason, however
well organised they might be...
700
00:53:35,926 --> 00:53:39,858
it's still not the state, they
cannot dispose of their prisoners.
701
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,469
Of course they're constricted, so they
have to apply the maximum sentence...
702
00:53:44,469 --> 00:53:45,475
The death penalty.
703
00:53:45,703 --> 00:53:47,254
Why these particular three?
It doesn't make sense.
704
00:53:47,923 --> 00:53:50,970
You must try to
understand their mentality...
705
00:53:50,970 --> 00:53:52,683
they chose their victims
as purely symbolic.
706
00:53:53,197 --> 00:53:56,215
First the prostitute, the type
you see on every street corner,
707
00:53:56,426 --> 00:53:58,483
lowers the morale of the city.
708
00:53:58,718 --> 00:54:01,431
Then the homosexual corrupting
the youth then finally...
709
00:54:02,029 --> 00:54:04,405
one of you extremists,
the subversive element...
710
00:54:04,870 --> 00:54:06,924
always in the front line ready to...
711
00:54:07,157 --> 00:54:11,060
attack and destroy what they
call institutional authority.
712
00:54:16,224 --> 00:54:20,792
As it seems to me, they're not really
concerned with individual cases...
713
00:54:20,792 --> 00:54:23,151
what they're really
trying to get at are...
714
00:54:23,151 --> 00:54:27,467
the dangers to our society presented
in these specific catagories.
715
00:54:29,514 --> 00:54:32,675
Hello, well tell me what happened.
If I hurry I can make the final edition.
716
00:54:32,909 --> 00:54:35,748
No no, no exclusive from
a usually reliable source.
717
00:54:36,137 --> 00:54:37,540
It wouldn't be fair to your colleagues.
718
00:54:38,618 --> 00:54:40,601
On the other hand maybe I
could give you an inside story.
719
00:54:41,379 --> 00:54:42,595
That is if we could make a deal.
720
00:54:44,909 --> 00:54:48,314
I need proof to back up my
theory otherwise they'll say i'm crazy.
721
00:54:49,261 --> 00:54:51,290
You're in a position
to get me this proof...
722
00:54:52,350 --> 00:54:54,351
and if you do i'll see you get
an exclusive on the story.
723
00:54:54,705 --> 00:54:56,070
I'm not sure I understand.
724
00:54:59,012 --> 00:55:03,176
Some time ago a right-wing
journal published a special issue on...
725
00:55:03,176 --> 00:55:07,108
the necessity of restoring
capital punishment in Italy.
726
00:55:07,638 --> 00:55:08,732
You recall that issue don't you?
727
00:55:09,414 --> 00:55:12,473
Yes, I recall it very well,
it made it's point.
728
00:55:12,676 --> 00:55:14,689
I'm friends with the
writer, politics apart.
729
00:55:15,190 --> 00:55:17,254
There were several interviewees...
730
00:55:17,610 --> 00:55:20,091
all highly placed and influential
according to the journal...
731
00:55:20,295 --> 00:55:22,862
who insisted they remain anonymous.
732
00:55:24,617 --> 00:55:26,422
I want you to find out who they were.
733
00:55:27,126 --> 00:55:31,785
I can't very well send my own men
without a search warrant, understand?
734
00:55:32,347 --> 00:55:35,201
They won't give me one so
that's why i'm asking you.
735
00:55:35,669 --> 00:55:38,237
There's a good chance they'll still
have the original questionnaires.
736
00:55:38,488 --> 00:55:41,238
More than likely all
those names are on them.
737
00:55:41,729 --> 00:55:43,607
I also want the names of all...
738
00:55:43,823 --> 00:55:45,589
the journals underwriters
in the last 5 years...
739
00:55:45,807 --> 00:55:49,111
and a list of contributors to its
causes, political or otherwise.
740
00:55:49,843 --> 00:55:52,153
And how much was given
to persons, movements etc.
741
00:55:53,229 --> 00:55:56,492
No look, I earn a living as a
journalist, not as a police spy.
742
00:55:59,789 --> 00:56:00,650
Have a look at this.
743
00:56:03,034 --> 00:56:06,389
- Remember Peter Dini?
- I sure do.
744
00:56:06,948 --> 00:56:08,495
The police blamed him for
the death for that cop...
745
00:56:08,775 --> 00:56:11,193
but the evidence showed it was
a clear case of railroading.
746
00:56:11,563 --> 00:56:14,380
Apparently not everyone
is of the same opinion.
747
00:56:15,026 --> 00:56:17,421
He was killed last night
along with two others.
748
00:56:22,933 --> 00:56:24,032
Hey you guys, here's Bertone.
749
00:56:24,330 --> 00:56:26,538
Go easy on the questions, he's
got a lot on his mind these days.
750
00:56:28,883 --> 00:56:30,843
- Have you got anything new
to work on? - Practically nothing.
751
00:56:31,659 --> 00:56:35,888
A big black car with phoney plates with
4 men in it, that's all we know so far.
752
00:56:36,412 --> 00:56:37,301
Alright?
753
00:56:37,940 --> 00:56:39,697
It's interesting all these
posters around town...
754
00:56:39,697 --> 00:56:42,990
"Rome is your city folks and
it's your duty to keep it clean".
755
00:56:43,262 --> 00:56:44,945
I always thought it was the
mayor's clean up program.
756
00:56:46,839 --> 00:56:49,234
Looks like the homicide squad is
fighting a losing battle these days.
757
00:56:49,448 --> 00:56:51,136
You got a theory connecting
the killings and the posters?
758
00:56:52,324 --> 00:56:53,891
Well unfortunately,
theories don't help much.
759
00:56:54,192 --> 00:56:56,086
This clean up squad, how many
have they killed upto now?
760
00:56:56,964 --> 00:56:58,647
It's said that a lot of
underworld characters are...
761
00:56:58,647 --> 00:56:59,958
hurrying to turn themselves in.
762
00:56:59,958 --> 00:57:01,959
Apparently they think they're
safer locked up in jail.
763
00:57:02,645 --> 00:57:03,515
This true inspector?
764
00:57:03,810 --> 00:57:04,564
Well it's been said that...
765
00:57:04,564 --> 00:57:06,903
when they feel an earthquake rats
come running out of the sewers.
766
00:57:07,474 --> 00:57:08,960
Come on, I want you
to meet an old friend.
767
00:57:09,969 --> 00:57:10,667
Come on in.
768
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,621
Here you are, here's the most
recent refugee from a sewage pipe.
769
00:57:16,629 --> 00:57:18,441
My god, wow, that's Valente!
770
00:57:19,597 --> 00:57:23,692
Exactly, on the wanted list for
two years, armed robbery and murder.
771
00:57:24,189 --> 00:57:27,342
Really Valente, I never thought i'd
find you hiding behind the police.
772
00:57:29,682 --> 00:57:32,527
Valente, but you're risking a life sentence.
773
00:57:34,694 --> 00:57:35,911
Why the hell did you turn yourself in?
774
00:57:36,371 --> 00:57:37,334
I'll tell you why he did it...
775
00:57:38,065 --> 00:57:41,217
because last night the so-called
clean up squad tried to kill Valente.
776
00:57:42,089 --> 00:57:44,554
Only he got away somehow and ran
all the way to headquarters.
777
00:57:44,866 --> 00:57:47,239
Says he prefers to die
an old man in prison...
778
00:57:47,239 --> 00:57:48,968
rather than have his
neck wrung like a chicken.
779
00:57:50,888 --> 00:57:52,619
- Is he on his way to jail?
- For the time being no...
780
00:57:53,014 --> 00:57:55,146
We've business to
discuss Valente and I.
781
00:57:58,006 --> 00:58:00,094
I heard you were looking
for me, anything new?
782
00:58:00,094 --> 00:58:02,154
Yeah, the beards downstairs
came up with this identikit of...
783
00:58:02,366 --> 00:58:03,819
the guy that collared the homosexual.
784
00:58:04,319 --> 00:58:06,787
The kid who saw him swears
it's him, I hope so.
785
00:58:07,257 --> 00:58:08,846
Since when did you
have faith in identikits?
786
00:58:08,930 --> 00:58:11,665
Since I began clutching at straws.
Even an identikit beats that.
787
00:58:12,602 --> 00:58:14,634
First error they've
made this organisation.
788
00:58:15,005 --> 00:58:16,578
- What error?
- Not to kill the kid.
789
00:58:18,651 --> 00:58:20,099
It really was an error.
790
00:58:22,338 --> 00:58:25,548
Sir, the killer who kidnapped
the girl is hold up outside town.
791
00:58:25,944 --> 00:58:28,712
We got a call from a stoolie
and D'orenzo's found the hideout.
792
00:58:28,909 --> 00:58:31,529
- Yeah, where? - It's on the
Marie Treano in the Ostia area.
793
00:58:31,734 --> 00:58:32,533
Check it out on the map.
794
00:58:33,365 --> 00:58:36,330
Anyhow, when we received his call
D'orenzo went over to investigate.
795
00:58:36,701 --> 00:58:39,152
Seems like a boatyard,
that's where he spotted the girl.
796
00:58:39,738 --> 00:58:41,524
Get on to the central
operator of Ostia...
797
00:58:41,524 --> 00:58:43,302
get him to throw a cordon
around the whole area.
798
00:58:43,583 --> 00:58:44,986
No one moves in until I say so.
799
00:58:45,266 --> 00:58:46,909
And inform the DA's office.
800
00:58:48,065 --> 00:58:50,449
Ostia control, this is
headquarters calling Ostia control.
801
00:58:50,449 --> 00:58:52,824
Ostia control, have urgent
message, do you read? Over.
802
00:58:55,291 --> 00:58:56,139
Come on.
803
00:59:10,754 --> 00:59:12,347
Christ, they brought
the whole lousy army.
804
00:59:13,703 --> 00:59:14,754
Well it's not gonna help them any.
805
00:59:15,715 --> 00:59:17,482
But you can't fight them,
why don't you give yourself up?
806
00:59:17,889 --> 00:59:19,069
Why don't you keep your mouth shut!
807
00:59:19,458 --> 00:59:20,599
I'm gonna show those pricks.
808
00:59:21,304 --> 00:59:23,250
You people get back, hear me?
809
00:59:24,626 --> 00:59:25,515
Go on, get out of here.
810
00:59:33,695 --> 00:59:34,556
He's over there sir.
811
00:59:36,986 --> 00:59:39,116
- I was waiting until you
got here. - What's your plan?
812
00:59:39,492 --> 00:59:42,123
Demand his surrender, if I
were you i'd move out of the way.
813
00:59:42,123 --> 00:59:43,339
Oh i'll stay here, proceed.
814
00:59:45,591 --> 00:59:49,817
This is inspector Bertone,
you're surrounded, you can't escape.
815
00:59:50,725 --> 00:59:52,905
Release the girl and
come out with your hands up.
816
00:59:55,106 --> 00:59:56,510
You got two minutes, no more.
817
01:00:13,934 --> 01:00:16,116
What action do you intend
to take if he doesn't come out?
818
01:00:16,725 --> 01:00:18,523
- It's his ass!
- And what about the girl?
819
01:00:18,738 --> 01:00:19,807
What do you want from me?
820
01:00:20,255 --> 01:00:22,520
If we let him go now will you
explain it to the next person he kills?
821
01:00:24,758 --> 01:00:27,993
If that were your daughter inside
would you give the order to fire?
822
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,239
- The two minutes are gone.
- Right.
823
01:01:39,633 --> 01:01:40,926
- Sir, i'll go in.
- No, you follow me.
824
01:01:41,648 --> 01:01:44,941
- Bertone, you are assuming a
grave responsibility. - Yes, I know!
825
01:01:48,217 --> 01:01:50,314
I'm coming out, please don't shoot.
826
01:01:56,623 --> 01:01:59,643
If you don't want me killed bring
a car over here with a full tank.
827
01:02:00,627 --> 01:02:03,153
There must only be one man in
it and he mustn't be armed.
828
01:02:03,798 --> 01:02:06,961
He must go away at once and
leave the driver's door open.
829
01:02:08,083 --> 01:02:10,567
And no deviations
otherwise i'll be murdered.
830
01:02:13,566 --> 01:02:16,266
You hear that? Well, does
he get the car or doesn't he.
831
01:02:17,208 --> 01:02:19,112
Ricciuti, you have the honour
of deciding, it's not my sphere.
832
01:02:19,980 --> 01:02:21,430
We don't have any choice, do what he wants.
833
01:02:21,853 --> 01:02:23,892
Look, if he gets out of heere with
the girl we're back at square one.
834
01:02:24,211 --> 01:02:26,390
Now that we've got him surrounded
we've got a 99% chance of nailing him.
835
01:02:26,661 --> 01:02:29,831
I'm not going to have murder
on my conscience Bertone.
836
01:02:30,070 --> 01:02:30,965
You played your cards.
837
01:02:31,698 --> 01:02:34,175
We can't start making deals with
these punks, they'll walk all over us.
838
01:02:35,001 --> 01:02:36,670
I tell you Ricciuti, if you give
in to that bastard in there...
839
01:02:36,670 --> 01:02:38,653
you'll be setting a precedent
for the whole underworld.
840
01:02:38,653 --> 01:02:39,794
Attention.
841
01:02:40,382 --> 01:02:42,793
This is the assistant
district attorney speaking...
842
01:02:43,014 --> 01:02:45,019
very well, I accept your conditions.
843
01:02:46,001 --> 01:02:47,453
We will send you a car immediately...
844
01:02:47,874 --> 01:02:49,679
put down our weapons and
do nothing to stop you.
845
01:02:52,612 --> 01:02:53,209
Proceed.
846
01:02:55,048 --> 01:02:56,264
Esposito, take him the car.
847
01:03:46,081 --> 01:03:47,085
I've got a whole roll of photos.
848
01:03:47,328 --> 01:03:48,703
Print it up and see
what we've got on him.
849
01:03:49,685 --> 01:03:50,245
Nice work.
850
01:03:51,353 --> 01:03:53,786
What else could we have done
apart from sacrificing that girl?
851
01:03:54,006 --> 01:03:56,866
- That's just what you've done.
- But for now she's out of danger.
852
01:03:57,126 --> 01:03:57,717
For now.
853
01:04:01,617 --> 01:04:04,585
Suspect is holding the girl hostage.
He is armed and dangerous.
854
01:04:05,055 --> 01:04:07,187
Locate but do not approach
unless ordered to do so.
855
01:04:07,505 --> 01:04:09,589
I repeat, do not approach
unless ordered to do so.
856
01:04:09,802 --> 01:04:12,418
Suspect is identified
as Michaeli Setticameni...
857
01:04:12,418 --> 01:04:15,581
Height: 5'8", Age: About 21,
Hair: Shoulder length black.
858
01:04:16,048 --> 01:04:19,182
Arrested in February '69 for
mugging and armed assault.
859
01:04:19,962 --> 01:04:20,836
Sentenced to three months.
860
01:04:21,601 --> 01:04:22,760
Arrested in April the next year...
861
01:04:22,971 --> 01:04:25,222
suspicion of using
and trafficking drugs.
862
01:04:26,225 --> 01:04:27,106
Released.
863
01:04:27,935 --> 01:04:31,007
Arrested 23rd November last year
on suspicion of grand larceny.
864
01:04:31,211 --> 01:04:34,391
He beat the rap again, released
on insufficient etcetera.
865
01:04:35,923 --> 01:04:36,637
Quite a career.
866
01:04:37,279 --> 01:04:39,119
The DA's office tried
a number of times to...
867
01:04:39,119 --> 01:04:41,561
hold him under provisional
arrest but to no avail...
868
01:04:41,842 --> 01:04:44,011
he's a slippery customer, too clever.
869
01:04:45,727 --> 01:04:47,849
- Detective? - Yes?
- There's a call for you.
870
01:04:48,128 --> 01:04:51,313
The caller won't identify himself,
says he will only talk with you.
871
01:04:52,092 --> 01:04:53,027
Well put him on.
872
01:04:55,443 --> 01:04:57,566
- Bertone.
- Bertone, use your head.
873
01:04:58,268 --> 01:05:00,467
You'll do yourself a favour if
you don't make trouble for us.
874
01:05:00,811 --> 01:05:02,796
Oh yeah, who's speaking?
875
01:05:03,323 --> 01:05:06,684
I believe the newspapers call us
the clean up squad, isn't that right?
876
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:09,771
Yeah.
877
01:05:10,316 --> 01:05:12,381
- Well you'd better listen...
- No, you listen...
878
01:05:13,036 --> 01:05:14,235
We have nothing against you...
879
01:05:14,841 --> 01:05:16,930
we're only doing the work the
police aren't alllowed to do.
880
01:05:17,476 --> 01:05:20,318
Now get this, i'll give you
fair warning here and now...
881
01:05:20,786 --> 01:05:22,951
I mean to arrest all of you.
882
01:05:23,377 --> 01:05:26,852
Don't be a fool, we're strong,
a lot stronger than you think.
883
01:05:27,521 --> 01:05:30,081
If you like i'll give you an
example of just how strong we are.
884
01:05:30,708 --> 01:05:34,650
- Tell me. - Give our
regards to rat Valente.
885
01:05:35,667 --> 01:05:37,941
Hello? Hello?
886
01:05:42,663 --> 01:05:44,115
It's impossible to trace, phonebooth.
887
01:05:44,115 --> 01:05:45,969
- Where's Valente?
- Down on the 1st floor.
888
01:05:54,925 --> 01:05:55,881
Hey you, where's Valente?
889
01:05:56,470 --> 01:05:58,746
Inside eating his supper sir
sent over from a restaurant.
890
01:05:58,746 --> 01:05:59,672
Open up!
891
01:06:15,434 --> 01:06:16,510
RIP Valente.
892
01:06:23,387 --> 01:06:27,737
Incredible, enough cyanide in
that food to put away an elephant.
893
01:06:29,594 --> 01:06:33,998
There's something you ought to know
about the attitude of your own men.
894
01:06:35,449 --> 01:06:36,633
What are you trying to say?
895
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,967
Well, they're starting to think this
organisation should be encouraged.
896
01:06:41,512 --> 01:06:44,542
Am I hearing you right? They
wanna encourage this organisation?
897
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,259
We're really going down the tube, now
the rank and file is dictating policy.
898
01:06:48,613 --> 01:06:49,536
I don't wanna hear anymore.
899
01:06:51,209 --> 01:06:54,385
Excuse me but, in any case
you might aswell know...
900
01:06:55,047 --> 01:06:58,278
our guys are saying
it isn't fair to...
901
01:06:58,278 --> 01:06:59,986
make any moves against
the clean up squad.
902
01:07:01,704 --> 01:07:02,514
Oh is that a fact?!
903
01:07:06,825 --> 01:07:08,956
Now listen you men,
let's get something straight...
904
01:07:10,182 --> 01:07:11,988
What the hell's
going on in this office?
905
01:07:12,576 --> 01:07:13,608
Santalamenti tells
me you don't like...
906
01:07:13,608 --> 01:07:15,198
the way i'm conducting
this investigation.
907
01:07:15,859 --> 01:07:17,109
Well it's about time
I found out whether...
908
01:07:17,109 --> 01:07:19,539
i'm running a squad of police or
whether you're all just arseholes!
909
01:07:21,459 --> 01:07:23,779
You men better listen well because
i'm not gonna tell you this again...
910
01:07:24,474 --> 01:07:27,414
For me and for everyone
on this force...
911
01:07:27,795 --> 01:07:30,830
this so-called clean up
squad is on a par with...
912
01:07:30,830 --> 01:07:33,063
and no better than any
other gang of criminals and...
913
01:07:33,264 --> 01:07:34,623
we're gonna hunt these bastards down.
914
01:07:34,909 --> 01:07:36,920
That's your job, that's why you joined.
915
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,665
- Sir, we feel...
- Who asked for you're opinion?!
916
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:41,008
Now I warn you i'm ready to...
917
01:07:41,008 --> 01:07:43,092
pack all of you off to Sicily,
every last one of you.
918
01:07:44,016 --> 01:07:45,718
And if I hear subversive
talk like that again...
919
01:07:47,372 --> 01:07:48,262
That's all!
920
01:07:55,779 --> 01:07:57,309
Go to work you guys, go to work.
921
01:08:18,292 --> 01:08:20,338
Come in car 7-5, come in car 7-5, over.
922
01:08:20,338 --> 01:08:22,600
- Where is he? - He ditched
the car and stole a bike.
923
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:23,781
He's still got the girl with him.
924
01:08:24,851 --> 01:08:26,255
- What zone are they in?
- AO sir.
925
01:08:31,462 --> 01:08:34,063
You're frightening me,
why didn't you let me go?
926
01:08:35,655 --> 01:08:36,983
Let me off can't you?
927
01:08:42,036 --> 01:08:45,038
This is Bertone, I don't have to
remind you how important this is.
928
01:08:45,423 --> 01:08:48,294
I want you to use extreme caution,
whatever you do don't lose him.
929
01:08:48,727 --> 01:08:49,851
We're setting up roadblocks now.
930
01:08:51,061 --> 01:08:53,923
He seems to be heading out towards Ostia,
we're nearly at the Via del Mare.
931
01:08:54,221 --> 01:08:56,159
Sir, if we catch up with
this guy what do we do?
932
01:08:56,725 --> 01:08:57,597
Close in but no shooting.
933
01:08:58,374 --> 01:09:00,664
- Not even if he shoots at us?
- You heard my order!
934
01:09:06,889 --> 01:09:09,938
- Let me off please, you
haven't got a chance. - Shut up!
935
01:09:15,893 --> 01:09:18,656
He's going down the Via del
Mare, we just passed the 10km mark.
936
01:09:39,167 --> 01:09:41,546
In a few minutes he'll be within
sight of our roadblock in Ostia...
937
01:09:41,882 --> 01:09:42,962
He might try to double back.
938
01:09:50,653 --> 01:09:54,147
This is car 75, we're still right on
his tail approaching the ring road.
939
01:11:01,635 --> 01:11:04,570
We're now heading towards Bumaccino
on the road that runs round the airport.
940
01:11:05,052 --> 01:11:06,749
We can cut in and head
him off if you want sir?
941
01:11:07,373 --> 01:11:08,233
Alright, move in.
942
01:11:09,276 --> 01:11:11,072
If he takes off
cross-country we're up a creek!
943
01:11:15,166 --> 01:11:16,229
We're almost on top of him.
944
01:11:17,529 --> 01:11:19,373
They're right behind us,
suppose they shoot?
945
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:20,809
Nice knowing ya.
946
01:11:33,162 --> 01:11:37,257
Headquarters calling car 9,
do you receive me car 9?
947
01:11:42,072 --> 01:11:44,552
Do you hear me car 9? Report in!
948
01:12:08,140 --> 01:12:09,421
I just heard about it, i'm sorry.
949
01:12:12,146 --> 01:12:14,354
Too much blood, even
for someone in my business.
950
01:12:17,653 --> 01:12:20,160
You've murdered the girl, that's what
they'll say in the press, you'll see.
951
01:12:22,141 --> 01:12:25,198
They'll say that you sacrificed
an innocent person's life.
952
01:12:25,573 --> 01:12:27,273
It's too late to be
concerned about the papers.
953
01:12:29,585 --> 01:12:31,362
I'm concerned about
the attitude of the men.
954
01:12:32,315 --> 01:12:33,498
When we catch him they'll kill him.
955
01:12:35,590 --> 01:12:36,742
Here, i've got the whole works.
956
01:12:45,938 --> 01:12:48,078
The names of the persons in
favour of the death penalty,
957
01:12:48,363 --> 01:12:49,952
the list of underwriters,
the whole thing.
958
01:12:52,041 --> 01:12:53,537
I'm beginning to get the picture.
959
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,814
I refuse to speak to anyone else
officer, it's a matter of great urgency.
960
01:12:58,029 --> 01:12:59,719
- He's busy, what is it.
- No, it's Bertone or no one.
961
01:13:00,603 --> 01:13:02,681
You know you've got enough there
to blow the lid off this town.
962
01:13:05,268 --> 01:13:05,914
Yes?
963
01:13:07,188 --> 01:13:09,868
- We've got a visitor, our
friend Avalano. - What's he want?!
964
01:13:10,246 --> 01:13:12,994
- To speak to you and no one else.
- Right, gimme a minute.
965
01:13:13,523 --> 01:13:14,394
- I'll leave.
- Yes, i'm sorry.
966
01:13:14,818 --> 01:13:15,515
Sandra...
967
01:13:17,498 --> 01:13:18,562
You've really helped me out, thanks.
968
01:13:19,298 --> 01:13:22,802
Don't mention this to anyone,
these guys are serious.
969
01:13:24,548 --> 01:13:27,831
I'll call you tomorrow, take care.
970
01:13:32,854 --> 01:13:33,945
- Good evening.
- I'll see him now.
971
01:13:38,554 --> 01:13:40,357
- Come in. - I know it's
late but this is urgent.
972
01:13:41,911 --> 01:13:42,616
Take a seat.
973
01:13:47,891 --> 01:13:49,525
you'd like to get Setticameni?
974
01:13:51,033 --> 01:13:52,603
I should have known you'd
be representing him too.
975
01:13:52,832 --> 01:13:56,623
My client is in extremis,
he's on the verge of panic.
976
01:13:57,837 --> 01:14:00,865
- The boy is thrilled.
- And he wants to give himself up?
977
01:14:00,865 --> 01:14:02,004
In a nutshell.
978
01:14:02,533 --> 01:14:05,449
I hope you appreciate what i've done,
he wan't easy to convince.
979
01:14:06,217 --> 01:14:08,330
- Well bring him in.
- Oh no inspector.
980
01:14:09,230 --> 01:14:12,334
Now my client doesn't want
to die, only surrender.
981
01:14:13,047 --> 01:14:15,998
- What does that mean?
- I want your guarantee...
982
01:14:16,420 --> 01:14:19,381
prior to the arrest I don't
want anybody at all to know.
983
01:14:19,964 --> 01:14:21,365
Since when are you
scared of publicity?
984
01:14:21,782 --> 01:14:27,639
Can't use publicity this time, the
kid is in danger, lynch mobs Bertone.
985
01:14:29,474 --> 01:14:32,413
Alright, I guarantee
only my men will know.
986
01:14:32,812 --> 01:14:35,888
No no inspector,
your men aren't to know.
987
01:14:37,227 --> 01:14:39,544
We're equally afraid of your men.
988
01:14:40,118 --> 01:14:42,189
It's all too easy to be
the victim of an accident.
989
01:14:42,766 --> 01:14:44,731
Summary justice, sign of the times.
990
01:14:44,980 --> 01:14:47,216
All you have to do is consider
the case of Valente's death...
991
01:14:47,460 --> 01:14:50,782
Avalano, what the hell do you want?
You bringing that kid in or what?
992
01:14:51,178 --> 01:14:54,842
No, not me inspector,
you are, and no escort.
993
01:14:55,683 --> 01:14:59,690
And you bring in that boy alive
aswell, you don't go to headquarters.
994
01:15:00,024 --> 01:15:01,859
You go straight to Ricciuti.
995
01:15:07,162 --> 01:15:07,908
Anything else?
996
01:15:09,627 --> 01:15:12,122
It's all written down... here.
997
01:15:33,687 --> 01:15:38,522
This is 1-0 calling 2-1,
Santalamenti come in please.
998
01:15:39,708 --> 01:15:42,174
This is 2-1 to 1-0,
we're right behind you.
999
01:15:42,817 --> 01:15:45,555
Stop following me, I told
you I had to do this alone.
1000
01:15:46,028 --> 01:15:47,373
But Christ Bertone,
we can't let you....
1001
01:15:47,373 --> 01:15:50,205
Stop following me! I said alone!
1002
01:15:51,144 --> 01:15:54,058
- That's an order.
- Very well, i'll turn around.
1003
01:16:59,505 --> 01:17:00,363
Give me the gun.
1004
01:17:06,078 --> 01:17:06,788
Alright, let's go.
1005
01:17:09,419 --> 01:17:10,138
Come on!
1006
01:17:42,135 --> 01:17:44,680
- You got a cigarette?
- I don't smoke.
1007
01:17:51,852 --> 01:17:53,534
Bertone speaking, over.
1008
01:17:54,332 --> 01:17:57,730
Bertone, do what we tell you.
Stop the car and let that killer out.
1009
01:17:58,787 --> 01:18:01,524
- You know who we are.
- Yeah, thanks for the offer.
1010
01:18:27,330 --> 01:18:29,468
We're right behind you Bertone,
you know we're serious.
1011
01:18:29,998 --> 01:18:32,224
We'll see the murderous little
bastard gets what he deserves.
1012
01:18:32,786 --> 01:18:34,773
An eye for an eye,
a life for a life.
1013
01:18:36,408 --> 01:18:39,592
- It's them, the clean up
squad, you gotta... - Calm down!
1014
01:19:02,496 --> 01:19:04,464
Bertone, for the last time,
turn the kid over to us.
1015
01:19:05,061 --> 01:19:07,481
We have nothing against you,
don't make us use force.
1016
01:19:08,575 --> 01:19:09,374
- Get out.
- What are you gonna do?
1017
01:19:23,050 --> 01:19:24,394
- They're going to kill us.
- That's enough talk.
1018
01:19:25,590 --> 01:19:26,847
- But there's a whole carload.
- Quiet!
1019
01:19:39,487 --> 01:19:41,363
They shot me, they got me.
1020
01:20:01,167 --> 01:20:03,023
Now listen, stay here and
whatever you do, keep quiet.
1021
01:20:03,628 --> 01:20:04,304
Stay down.
1022
01:20:26,329 --> 01:20:28,207
- What are you gonna do,
I don't wanna die. - Relax.
1023
01:20:34,944 --> 01:20:36,890
No no no, that's finished.
What are you talking about?
1024
01:20:37,123 --> 01:20:39,056
Don't tell me I didn't hear any
shots, it's coming from the barn.
1025
01:20:39,758 --> 01:20:41,785
Go over there then, come on.
1026
01:20:42,460 --> 01:20:43,919
Forget it, we can't stick
around here anymore.
1027
01:21:00,990 --> 01:21:02,848
Come on... get going!
1028
01:21:37,712 --> 01:21:40,035
This is 1-0 to 2-1,
Santalamenti are you there?
1029
01:21:40,035 --> 01:21:41,268
This is Santalamenti, how'd it go?
1030
01:21:41,484 --> 01:21:43,380
As planned I picked up the
kid and we're coming in now.
1031
01:21:43,628 --> 01:21:45,337
By the way, did you get in
touch with the district attorney?
1032
01:21:45,590 --> 01:21:48,275
Yes, he said to tell you
he'd be waiting in his office.
1033
01:21:49,408 --> 01:21:52,343
You get over there too and
wait for me, you got that?
1034
01:21:53,342 --> 01:21:55,007
Meet you there, over and out.
1035
01:22:05,039 --> 01:22:05,882
Send him right in.
1036
01:22:11,651 --> 01:22:13,072
- There he is.
- What is this, he's hurt?
1037
01:22:13,273 --> 01:22:14,229
It's only a scratch.
1038
01:22:15,066 --> 01:22:16,207
- Who did this?
- It wasn't me.
1039
01:22:16,924 --> 01:22:19,233
I learned to treat his kind
with kid gloves a long time ago.
1040
01:22:19,233 --> 01:22:20,547
You mean he shot at
the arresting officer?
1041
01:22:20,547 --> 01:22:24,476
Who, him?! He wouldn't pick on the
police, he picks on the very old...
1042
01:22:24,476 --> 01:22:28,918
people who are defenceless and
he throws young girls under cars.
1043
01:22:29,907 --> 01:22:31,029
Listen you little jerk...
1044
01:22:31,696 --> 01:22:34,738
I could understand if it was a cop
you killed, he's paid to take risks...
1045
01:22:35,038 --> 01:22:37,794
but what I don't understand
is indiscriminate murder.
1046
01:22:38,010 --> 01:22:40,397
- Bertone... - You're the
dregs of the human race.
1047
01:22:40,397 --> 01:22:43,770
Stay out of this! No, i'm
not through with this vermin!
1048
01:22:44,065 --> 01:22:45,737
Bertone, you have no right
to take this personally.
1049
01:22:45,737 --> 01:22:48,106
I don't huh? I brought him
here at the risk of my skin...
1050
01:22:48,408 --> 01:22:50,338
and my skin is personal
isn't it Riscuitti?!
1051
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:51,865
You know if I
hadn't saved his ass...
1052
01:22:52,070 --> 01:22:54,596
right now he'd be dumped
somewhere, neck wrung like a chicken.
1053
01:22:54,596 --> 01:22:56,126
What are you talking about?
I'm not going to ask again.
1054
01:22:56,126 --> 01:22:57,489
Ask him, see if he'll tell you.
1055
01:22:57,888 --> 01:22:59,092
Who tried to kill you? Who was it?
1056
01:23:00,667 --> 01:23:03,943
But you're safe now aren't you?
Everything's gonna be a breeze.
1057
01:23:04,376 --> 01:23:06,937
What do you mean? What was
that remark intended to infer?
1058
01:23:07,483 --> 01:23:08,701
Intended to infer?
1059
01:23:09,699 --> 01:23:12,367
That for this lousy son of
a bitch the worst has passed.
1060
01:23:12,690 --> 01:23:13,620
Isn't that right?
1061
01:23:14,407 --> 01:23:17,332
After the lawyers and the judges
and the political parasites...
1062
01:23:17,332 --> 01:23:19,635
have finished complicating
his defence what'll happen?
1063
01:23:20,948 --> 01:23:23,586
They'll discover his
great-grandfather has schizophrenia...
1064
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:25,906
and for that reason he's not
responsible for his actions, right?
1065
01:23:26,323 --> 01:23:27,838
With time off for good behaviour...
1066
01:23:28,355 --> 01:23:30,558
this louse won't serve
more than 10 or 12 years...
1067
01:23:31,594 --> 01:23:34,293
During which time he'll
perfect his murderous trade...
1068
01:23:35,059 --> 01:23:37,446
Until finally he's released
to start all over again.
1069
01:23:37,978 --> 01:23:40,065
- Isn't that right, isn't it?
- That's enough Bertone!
1070
01:23:40,804 --> 01:23:41,556
Calm down.
1071
01:23:44,321 --> 01:23:46,413
You'll be ruined if you
continue to act like this.
1072
01:23:46,942 --> 01:23:48,609
What the hell does
that signify Mr DA?
1073
01:23:49,865 --> 01:23:52,297
I've arrived at a conclusion
in the Bettarini affair.
1074
01:23:52,669 --> 01:23:55,007
I've no doubt that he lied,
i've dismissed the charges.
1075
01:23:57,033 --> 01:23:57,799
Is that right?
1076
01:24:00,044 --> 01:24:02,797
Now I can almost consider myself
a respectable citizen again.
1077
01:24:03,401 --> 01:24:06,844
I thought you'd be pleased or
do you want me to apologise?
1078
01:24:07,610 --> 01:24:08,690
No thanks, it's too late.
1079
01:24:09,424 --> 01:24:11,182
Anyhow, in a short time
I won't care anymore.
1080
01:24:11,990 --> 01:24:13,910
Tomorrow morning i'm
handing in my resignation.
1081
01:24:36,844 --> 01:24:39,073
So you're leaving the police
force now, is that right?
1082
01:24:39,981 --> 01:24:40,898
Tomorrow.
1083
01:24:42,296 --> 01:24:43,774
Is it a matter of conscience?
1084
01:24:45,177 --> 01:24:47,405
I've devoted all these
years to fighting crime...
1085
01:24:48,422 --> 01:24:49,500
I started when I was a kid...
1086
01:24:50,854 --> 01:24:52,834
i've done all I could,
i've striven for it...
1087
01:24:53,097 --> 01:24:57,058
more power for the police force,
that was Bertone's position...
1088
01:24:58,171 --> 01:24:59,008
in good faith.
1089
01:25:01,914 --> 01:25:03,595
But now I understand my error.
1090
01:25:05,209 --> 01:25:07,716
In this country the laws are
used not only against criminals.
1091
01:25:09,603 --> 01:25:11,616
I see the entire citizenry
as an innocent victim.
1092
01:25:13,143 --> 01:25:15,606
You in fact know exactly what i'm
talking about, don't you Mr Stolfi?
1093
01:25:16,375 --> 01:25:19,153
Naturally, the doors of the
club are wide open to you.
1094
01:25:20,277 --> 01:25:22,629
As you can see there are
many activities here...
1095
01:25:22,844 --> 01:25:24,940
for the members to
enjoy their retirement.
1096
01:25:25,926 --> 01:25:28,085
- For instance you might
like to pursue... - No.
1097
01:25:29,024 --> 01:25:30,351
Tomorrow you're going to close.
1098
01:25:31,821 --> 01:25:33,622
What do you mean... close?
1099
01:25:34,095 --> 01:25:36,962
You heard what I said,
it's the end of the road.
1100
01:25:37,873 --> 01:25:40,167
The headquarters of the clean
up squad is finished Stolfi.
1101
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,550
Bertone, I think I
should remind you that...
1102
01:25:43,550 --> 01:25:47,400
every one of our club
members is an ex-policeman.
1103
01:25:48,209 --> 01:25:50,474
Is that so? Don't
confuse the police with...
1104
01:25:50,674 --> 01:25:52,904
those common hitmen who
handle your rotten business.
1105
01:25:53,638 --> 01:25:55,758
Tell me, do they do it out
of fanatacism or for the money?
1106
01:25:57,599 --> 01:25:59,883
I've investigated the
financial situation here Stolfi...
1107
01:26:00,783 --> 01:26:02,099
You're certainly well endowed.
1108
01:26:02,521 --> 01:26:05,947
- We have our friends.
- Yeah and highly placed too.
1109
01:26:06,599 --> 01:26:09,958
Top bankers, industrialists,
leading politicians...
1110
01:26:10,664 --> 01:26:12,700
and some leading religious
dignitaries in the Vatican.
1111
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:17,277
Your organisation, as I see it, is
a firm basis for the ladder to power.
1112
01:26:18,144 --> 01:26:20,532
First stage:
An association of criminals.
1113
01:26:21,082 --> 01:26:23,319
Second stage: Overthrow the state.
1114
01:26:23,713 --> 01:26:25,518
Third and final stage:
a return to dictatorship.
1115
01:26:26,135 --> 01:26:28,950
- I take it you've got facts.
- Well let's start with this one...
1116
01:26:29,906 --> 01:26:33,342
Some months back a certain journal
carried an anonymous interview...
1117
01:26:33,898 --> 01:26:37,124
on the necesssity of restoring the
death penalty for capital offences.
1118
01:26:37,790 --> 01:26:41,708
Otheriwse we'd see a return to
anarchy and the law of the jungle.
1119
01:26:42,739 --> 01:26:45,664
Well I was curious as to who
said that so we started checking.
1120
01:26:46,340 --> 01:26:49,323
I managed to find out that the eminent
person who authored that interview...
1121
01:26:49,945 --> 01:26:53,116
was none other than former
chief of police Ernesto Stolfi.
1122
01:26:53,972 --> 01:26:56,153
I've almost run a check on
who uses these facilities.
1123
01:26:56,776 --> 01:27:00,603
Nearly all your members here are
ex-cops who were notorious for brutality.
1124
01:27:01,256 --> 01:27:02,736
And nearly all were
thrown off the force for...
1125
01:27:03,299 --> 01:27:05,613
intimidating witnesses,
extortion, taking bribes.
1126
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:07,477
Would you like another fact?
1127
01:27:08,867 --> 01:27:10,618
The morning I came here
to talk to you about...
1128
01:27:10,618 --> 01:27:14,554
those 3 people who were killed
that night you made a mistake.
1129
01:27:15,682 --> 01:27:16,988
If you remember you
referred to them as...
1130
01:27:17,193 --> 01:27:20,331
a prostitute, a homosexual and
a political extremist and yet...
1131
01:27:20,732 --> 01:27:22,496
there's only one way you
could have known that...
1132
01:27:22,931 --> 01:27:24,671
you couldn't have got it from
the radios or the newspapers...
1133
01:27:24,671 --> 01:27:26,270
since all i'd given
out was their names.
1134
01:27:26,896 --> 01:27:27,878
And that's not all Stolfi...
1135
01:27:29,867 --> 01:27:31,592
I think you'll recognise this monkey.
1136
01:27:32,509 --> 01:27:36,253
Oh, my dear Bertone, you
know the value of an identikit.
1137
01:27:38,302 --> 01:27:39,807
Now then, surely you
don't think you can...
1138
01:27:39,807 --> 01:27:43,679
make an accusation against
me based on that evidence?
1139
01:27:44,397 --> 01:27:46,489
I make arrests and I write reports.
1140
01:27:47,195 --> 01:27:48,992
The rest is up
to the district attorney.
1141
01:27:49,364 --> 01:27:50,287
Arrests?
1142
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:57,428
Look, let us pretend, just for one
instant, that your theory is correct.
1143
01:27:57,903 --> 01:28:01,129
I mean, if these are the general
headquarters of the clean up squad...
1144
01:28:01,796 --> 01:28:04,481
do you think you would walk
out of this place alive?
1145
01:28:05,141 --> 01:28:07,255
Don't worry, i've already
taken a few precautions.
1146
01:28:08,022 --> 01:28:10,487
Santalamenti and my men have
this whole area surrounded.
1147
01:28:11,454 --> 01:28:13,894
I'm full of admiration
for you Bertone.
1148
01:28:14,608 --> 01:28:17,154
You know you're an
outstanding example of a policeman.
1149
01:28:21,454 --> 01:28:23,829
In the name of the law I
hereby place you under arrest.
1150
01:29:04,869 --> 01:29:06,193
Yes, a pity.
1151
01:29:07,799 --> 01:29:09,227
The right man in the wrong place.
1152
01:29:11,838 --> 01:29:13,687
Did anyone else know he was
coming to the club today?
1153
01:29:15,623 --> 01:29:17,587
- No one.
- I see, good.
1154
01:29:20,527 --> 01:29:21,893
I also found the dossier.
1155
01:29:23,867 --> 01:29:25,495
This time there's gonna
be a lot of questions asked.
1156
01:29:25,838 --> 01:29:27,903
Oh no, I doubt that.
1157
01:29:29,086 --> 01:29:31,913
I know how to fix
such things you see.
1158
01:29:33,013 --> 01:29:36,982
Still, it was a terrible thing,
Bertone is a real loss.
1159
01:30:10,509 --> 01:30:11,794
We carried out a thorough search but...
1160
01:30:12,265 --> 01:30:14,856
the dossier was not to be
found in his office or his home.
1161
01:30:15,749 --> 01:30:17,335
If it exists I don't know where.
1162
01:30:17,567 --> 01:30:21,066
But that's impossible, no one justs
misplaces a set of documents like that.
1163
01:30:21,545 --> 01:30:22,364
That's your opinion.
1164
01:30:23,218 --> 01:30:25,795
But Riscuitti, obviously it
was stolen and then destroyed.
1165
01:30:26,702 --> 01:30:30,864
By whom? Are you inferring that
we're infiltrated by some organisation?
1166
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:33,107
I just listened to Bertone.
1167
01:30:34,012 --> 01:30:35,832
You'd better not print
anything without proof.
1168
01:30:37,941 --> 01:30:41,572
Was Bertone wrong? Do you think
he'd be dead if he hadn't found out?
1169
01:30:42,527 --> 01:30:44,543
Bertone was a man who took chances.
1170
01:31:15,236 --> 01:31:16,239
Mr District attorney?
1171
01:31:16,971 --> 01:31:17,899
Yes sir.
1172
01:31:21,088 --> 01:31:22,367
I undertand there's
some suspicion that...
1173
01:31:22,367 --> 01:31:25,654
this fictional clean up squad
is responsible for Bertone's death.
1174
01:31:26,450 --> 01:31:27,601
That's quite absurd isn't it?
1175
01:31:28,237 --> 01:31:29,941
My job is to check such absurdities.
1176
01:31:30,713 --> 01:31:32,643
Really Riscuitti, i'm surprised at you.
1177
01:31:33,157 --> 01:31:34,627
You've got an excellent
career ahead of you...
1178
01:31:34,627 --> 01:31:36,451
with a bit of prodding
in the right places...
1179
01:31:36,451 --> 01:31:38,155
there's no telling
how far you could go.
1180
01:31:38,776 --> 01:31:40,581
You'd jeopardise
that over this nonsense?
1181
01:31:41,319 --> 01:31:43,578
Allow me to say that until this minute...
1182
01:31:43,817 --> 01:31:46,620
Bertone's theory of a secret
organisation had struck me as...
1183
01:31:46,947 --> 01:31:48,899
too shallow to be taken seriously.
1184
01:31:49,568 --> 01:31:53,011
For your information, an
investigation will get underway at once.
1185
01:31:53,451 --> 01:31:57,859
But my dear Riscuitti, don't you
realise you'd only be tilting at windows.
1186
01:31:58,286 --> 01:32:00,933
Against whom would
you proceed? Against whom?
1187
01:32:05,625 --> 01:32:07,052
For now I guess the person's unknown.
1188
01:32:07,746 --> 01:32:11,489
But sir, you can rest assured,
the investigation will stop at nobody.
1189
01:32:11,826 --> 01:32:12,667
Nobody!
1190
01:32:13,515 --> 01:32:16,436
Well I don't have to remind you,
you can't act without proof.
1191
01:32:17,176 --> 01:32:20,455
I know required procedure thank you.
1192
01:32:21,032 --> 01:32:22,418
- I wish you luck.
- Thank you.
1193
01:32:46,116 --> 01:32:49,999
Mr Stolfi, I'd like to see you tomorrow
morning, 10 o'clock in my office.
1194
01:32:50,483 --> 01:32:51,581
I shall be there.
