'Three Violent Nights'

I'll take this one.

Ready?

How much pain there is tonight.

On the river that flows like so.

Wretched is he who dreams and hopes.

Everybody must suffer in this world.

But if a soul goes looking for peace.

They can find it nowhere else but here.

The boatman goes against the tide.

And when he sings there’s a resounding echo.

River, if it’s true that you can bring peace.

Enchanted river, don’t take it away from me.

More than a month has gone by.

Since the night I said "Hey, Ninetta"

"This love has already faded"

She answered “I can see it for myself”

She sighed, then she said "Farewell, my love"

Walter, why are you so nervous?

What's wrong? You've been so worried lately.

I wish I could offer you so much more.

Don't let it get to you. It's true, you lost your job.

But not because you're a bad journalist, you know that.

And I have so much faith in you.

The last resources of a great writer.

You're still thinking about the newspaper, aren't you?

It's what I live for.

There are lots of other newspapers.

Sooner or later they'll come looking for you.

Let's have a toast.

To the future of the greatest journalist in the world.

May I be of assistance? I'm a doctor.

Professor Fassi.

Fassi.

Fassi.

Fassi.

Hello, everyone!

- Did you like America? - It's magnificent.

I even went to Hollywood!

Is it true that Janice Ball is more beautiful in person?

She said she sends you a kiss.

That isn't funny!

Welcome back, Cristina. I'll get you a drink.

Hello, Walter. How are you?

- Hello, Cristina. - Nice way to greet an old friend.

How's Lisa? Why isn't she with you?

- How should I know? - Are you arguing already?

- Scotch? - Yes, thanks.

Excuse me.

What's wrong with you?

- Are you upset with me? - I'm upset with everyone.

- Sorry, just ignore me. - I thought you'd be happy to see me?

Sure, I'm just tired. Perhaps I drank too much.

- Do you have a car? - No.

Come on, I'll give you a ride.

- A cigarette? -No, thanks, I quit.

It was a bad habit I picked up on the night shift.

Come on, tell me everything. What happened with Lisa?

The simplest thing.

She ditched me for another guy.

Is it someone I know?

Maybe.

- Professor Guido Fassi. - The surgeon?

- No, I can't believe it. - Why not?

He's rich, a magnificent villa, the easy life and the big wedding.

- What could I give her? - But Lisa loved you.

Maybe.

If only I'd just asked her not to leave.

But I didn't feel like I had any right to stop her.

- So she married Fassi. - Not yet.

- At least, I don't think so. - Then I know more than you.

Lisa called me last night and asked about you.

- What did she say? - I wasn't home, the maid answered.

She said she'd been looking for you all day but you weren't home.

Why don't you call her?

- Where? At Fassi's? - She left a number, 320347

- Is it Fassi's number? - No, I don't think so.

Now go and get some rest. It's dawn and we didn't even notice.

Lisa! It's been so long. It's great to see you again.

- Maria, is Walter home? - I don't think so.

I didn't see him come back last night.

It's okay, I still have the keys. I just have to leave something.

Walter will be so happy.

Good morning, Walter. Lisa just came by.

She went up. She still had the keys.

She said she had to leave something for you.

Hello, Lisa?

When did she leave? I'm a friend.

Sorry, what's the address?

I called earlier.

- You're the man in the photograph. - Which photograph?

The one in her room.

Excuse me.

Hello? Lisa.

- Thank god, I was so worried. - Let me speak to her, it's important.

Yes, okay. Will you be gone long?

Yes, okay.

By the way, what shall I do with those clothes at the launderette?

Okay, I'll go and collect them.

Thank you.

Why didn't you let me speak to her?

Because that wasn't Lisa. It wasn't her voice.

And she called me Dolores. Lisa calls me Dora.

Collect the clothes at the launderette.

What's so strange?

She doesn't have any clothes at the launderette.

And she told you to get them?

Right, and that she'd send some money for me and for the clothes.

- What else did she say? - That she's going away for a while.

She told me to go home and wait for news.

Have you worked for Lisa for very long?

About four months. Since she came to live here.

- Do you know professor Fassi? - The gentleman she was engaged to?

Yes, but it's water under the bridge, that's all finished.

- What do you mean? - Like these things sometimes end.

Actually, she seemed rather happy about it.

It's only in these last few days that I noticed her acting strangely.

She had a very bad day yesterday. She was making one call after another.

She was looking for a Mr Benetti...

Bonnelli, that's me.

Did she receive many calls?

Yes, almost always from a man with a foreign accent.

Lisa only replied "okay", then a big American car would pull up outside.

- Is there a camera here? - No, why?

She bought one a few days ago, this is the guarantee.

I've never seen her with a camera.

- Do you know who Johnny is? - No, I've no idea.

Hello? Johnny, please.

Who's speaking?

Sorry.

The Hilton Hotel. It will be full of Johnnys.

It's from Lisa.

Who gave you that envelope?

Two men in a black car stopped me. One of them was fat and had a beard.

The other one was thin and spoke bad Italian.

- They gave me 1000 lira. - And then?

Just 1000 lira to deliver that envelope! If I'd known...

What else did they say?

They told me to tell you I got that envelope from a woman dressed in red.

My god! She was wearing red when she left yesterday.

- Hello, Franco. - Walter, what a surprise!

Have a seat.

I was hoping I'd find you. Any news about Lisa?

I'm worried she might be in trouble.

- Have you heard anything at the paper? - No.

Welcome back.

A lady called, asking for you.

- Did she leave a name? - No.

Could it have been Lisa? You remember, my fiancè.

Sure, I remember her. She was here a few days ago.

- When? - I don't remember exactly.

A few days ago. She was with some rich guy.

Who liked making little balls out of breadcrumb.

He covered the table with them!

Well? Spaghetti Amatriciana?

Later, I'm waiting for someone.

Cristina, you've met her. Lisa's best friend.

What is this all about?

As you can see, it's all very strange.

The phone call, Lisa going to my place.

Yes, perhaps you're right but you shouldn't get involved.

You know how much she means to me. I have to find out what happened.

Haven't you learnt anything from the newspaper?

You stuck your nose where it didn't belong and they fired you.

This isn't about work, it's personal.

Why don't you accept it? Lisa left you.

Try to forget about her instead of meddling in her private life.

Franco's right. It does seem strange.

- But I think you're exaggerating. - What about the camera?

Lisa's never been interested in photography.

I'd like to collect some photographs in the name of Lisa Ferretti.

- Are Ms. Ferretti's photos ready? - Do you have the receipt?

No, she just asked me to collect the photographs.

No, that name isn't on the list.

She bought a Laika camera here. I have the guarantee.

I remember.

It's that lady who asked me how to photograph documents.

But she hasn't been back.

Thanks.

Now do you believe there's something strange going on?

But why did Lisa want to photograph some documents?

I don't know.

But I bet Fassi is behind all this.

- I want to pay him a visit. - I'm coming with you.

No, go home. I'll call you later.

Giulio! I was just thinking about you.

Why? Do you think as well?

The usual dump.

Well you've changed. What brings you here?

My wardrobes are full of clothes.

- What do you want? - Me?

Nothing.

It's about Lisa.

She came here this morning to give you a farewell kiss.

She had to leave. You weren't home.

So she sent me. To say goodbye.

My sister's very formal.

- As you know. - Where has she gone?

On a trip.

Are you surprised she came to you?

Women can be strange at times.

- Who sent you? - Lisa, who else?

Why are you so suspicious? Besides, why do you care?

She ditched you, right?

Have a drink.

Now you listen to me!

Your sister came here to give me something.

Something explosive!

They drugged her, then they said she'd gone away.

And now she might be in trouble with the bastards who sent you here!

Get out!

I know you're nothing but a bum.

But I hope you understand that something's wrong.

Think it over. You know where to find me.

- What are you doing in Lisa's house? - You frightened me.

I asked you what you're doing here?

I wanted to help you.

I figured a woman might notice something you missed.

Did you turn the place over like this?

No, I found it like this.

- Have you found anything? - Nothing.

- How did it go with Fassi? - Fassi's in Florence.

He often goes there looking for antiques.

- He should be back tomorrow. - Have you found out anything?

The butler told me Lisa was there two nights ago.

She waited for Fassi in his studio for a couple of hours then she left.

To find you, perhaps she wanted to give you those photographs?

Right, it seems we were the only ones she could trust.

The Hilton Hotel.

We still need to find out who this Johnny is?

Let's have dinner there.

What is it, Walter?

It's the car they took Lisa away in. I remember the license plate.

Be careful. Someone's watching us.

Let's ask him who this car belongs to.

Wouldn't it be better to wait in the car?

No.

- Can I use your car? - It might be dangerous.

I'll see you later.

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

- Who is he? - I don't know.

- Honestly! - Will you be quiet?

Goodnight, darling.

I'll come in for a minute.

Hey, buddy, who taught you to drive?

Will you get out of the way? I'm in a hurry.

The gentleman's in a hurry.

- What happened? - Our friend didn't like being followed.

- Will you pour me a drink? - Yes, right away.

- Did he do that to you? - No, some angry motorists.

But I'm sure it was a setup. It's like they forced me off the road.

You do realise they're dangerous people.

What were you doing? Have you just got back or were you leaving?

I was worried. I was about to come looking for you.

Thanks.

- Did you find something out, at least? - Just that woman's address.

He's disappeared.

I waited at the Hilton for a couple of hours but he didn't show.

- Did you go to the police? - I don't want the police involved.

I want to know what Lisa's become. An adventurer?

A prostitute?

I've got half a mind to go and kick Fassi out of bed.

No, you're not going out any more tonight, I want you to stay here.

And you'd do well to stay away from your place for a few days.

Do you really want to get to the bottom of this?

- Yes. - Then let me help you.

Tell me everything that happened. A woman can be useful sometimes.

No, you keep out of this mess. I shouldn't have come here.

Where else would you have gone?

Cristina, I'm so tired.

I'm a nervous wreck.

And to feel you so close, to look at you.

You're so beautiful.

What is it?

Nothing. I'm such a fool.

How many times I've dreamed of a moment like this.

To kiss you, hold you close.

I've always loved you, Walter.

But you never noticed me. You had Lisa and she's still between us.

Haven't you ever wondered why I went to America?

Because of me and Lisa?

You were such a happy couple and Lisa was my best friend.

I'm a fool, aren't I?

You're a good woman.

Let's drink to that.

To you, sir.

You'd better get some rest. You look tired.

- Where will you sleep? - Don't worry, I'll curl up on the sofa.

Come on, you're the one who took a hiding.

Right.

Lock the door. You never know.

I might regret having missed this occasion.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

There's a woman who lives here, around twenty five, blonde.

About this tall. Attractive.

- I know the one, Flora Alberti. - Is she home?

I think so.

You're not going up are you?

Why not?

You're wasting your time.

Well, I'll give it a shot.

What do you want?

- Who was that man last night? - You're crazy, go away!

Listen, beautiful, I'm in a hurry. Well?

His name's Johnny, right?

Start talking!

I slap my women.

Come on, hands up.

Calm down, he's not dead. I know how to measure my blows.

It's Johnny.

I got one. No, he's just passed out.

Yes, of course, I have his driver's license.

Walter Bonnelli.

No? Are you sure?

I thought he was one of Honey's men.

Then he might be dangerous.

What if he has them? Take him to sea?

Yes, sure. I'll tell my men.

Okay. I'll see you later.

Okay.

Mino, I got one. Get over here.

Yes, everyone.

And hurry up.

Well?

His name's Johnny Lovecchio. He lives in the Hilton Hotel.

I don't know anything else but I curse the day I met him.

Please let me go. I'm so scared!

You'd better come with me. We'll have visitors soon.

You see? Love at first sight.

- Who's she? - Cristina, this is Flora.

Johnny's girlfriend. Johnny Lovecchio, to be precise.

She's a good girl. Have a seat.

- What happened? - Nothing, just a little scuffle.

But we still have a lot of things to clarify.

Get her a drink. She's a little shaken up.

- Who was Johnny talking to? - I don't know about his business.

He'd hit me if I ever asked him any questions.

And Honey? Who's Honey?

I've heard the name but I don't know anything.

Do you want me to call Franco at the paper?

If it's some gangster's nickname he might know something.

Good idea.

Do you know this woman?

That's Lady X.

Yes, she often came to dinner with Johnny and me.

But whenever I asked him about her he told me to mind my own business.

What was their relationship? Were they lovers?

Who knows? I really admired her because she despised Lovecchio.

I've always been afraid of him.

Some women know how to make a man respect them.

Franco says he's heard about him. He'll let us know if he hears anything.

What kind of business is Johnny involved in?

All I know is he's never short of cash.

And that he has a villa in Circeo. He took me there once.

But every time I asked him if we could go back he got angry.

- Does he go there often? - I guess so, he's hardly ever in Rome.

- Do you remember where it is exactly? - It's one kilometre past Punta Rossa.

It's very isolated. Not far from the sea.

I wonder if he ever took Lisa there?

And I wonder why he has a villa in Circeo in such an isolated spot?

It might be Franco.

It wasn't difficult. Your Honey is a minor celebrity.

His real name's Edward Gardiello but they call him Honey.

Because he's all milk and honey. But be careful, he's dangerous.

He's got a rap sheet a mile long.

He's mixed up in all sorts of shady business.

Drugs, people trafficking.

Even murder but he was never charged.

Kicked out of the United States as an undesirable.

He retired to a luxurious villa in Eur.

Now he plays the part of the well-off gentleman.

- Happy hunting, Walter. - Thanks, Franco.

- Great. - I'd say the opposite.

Please, take care of her.

She wants to leave the city and for good reason.

Where are you going?

To find Fassi. I'll call you.

Have seat, Mr. Bonnelli. Professor Fassi will be right down.

Thank you.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Only one like it in the world.

- Surprised to see me? - Yes, a little.

Please, have a seat Walter.

Sorry, I called you Walter like before.

I hope you don't mind. After all, I could be your father.

You could have also been Lisa's father.

Believe me.

This hasn't been easy for me.

It hasn't been easy for anyone.

A naive woman falls for an older man who promises to marry her.

- And then he dumps her. - I loved Lisa and I still do.

- I really did want to marry her. - Really?

She left me.

Waiting for the wedding, I bought her a small apartment.

We often met for dinner or the theatre.

And then, after a while, she became unbearable, nervous, rebellious.

She was never home. She'd disappear for days.

Do you know anything about the people she hangs around with now?

Almost nothing. I try to avoid those people.

The only thing I can tell you for sure is that she came here the other day.

I know. Do you know why she came here?

That's what I've been wondering myself.

Why don't you pay her a visit?

Because she's disappeared.

What?

Yes, she's disappeared.

In very unusual circumstances.

For now there's only one logical conclusion.

Lisa wanted to leave some photographs with you or with me.

Because we were the only people she could trust.

Those photographs must have upset someone.

And that someone is trying to stop her.

Lisa must be in danger. We have to do something.

- Shall we call the police? -No, it might make things worse.

- I'll take care of it personally. - I'd like to help but what can I do?

I'll give you the only thing I have, money.

After all, you're risking your life.

- Then I can risk some money. - Thanks, but I don't need your money.

Take it. You'll pay me back when you can.

What are you going to do?

- First, I'll talk to Gardiello. - Good, please keep me informed.

Hey, bastard. Where are you going?

- I have to talk to Honey. - About what?

I'll tell him when I see him. If you'll show me the way?

Sure. With pleasure.

First let me see if you've got any sweets in your pockets.

Check out this cool toy the kid's carrying.

You're good, young man.

Edward Gardiello?

- At your service. - I'm Walter Bonnelli.

- I didn't come looking for trouble. - Right, but he had a gun.

I was just about to eat, my friend. Will you join me?

Thanks.

- Relax, he'll pay for this. - Damn him!

I'm cold. Can I go inside?

Cold? Don't be foolish.

You're not cold, right Bonnelli? Please.

- Have a seat. - Thanks.

I only drink fruit juice, but if you'd like something else?

No, that's fine with me. Thank you.

Well? What can I do for you? Why have you come here?

- Who sent you? - A mutual friend, Johnny Lovecchio.

- Yes, I know him. - Or perhaps he's an enemy?

You should know.

Listen, I've got nothing to hide.

Okay, I'm listening.

Evidently Lisa had something that compromised Lovecchio and his friends.

What?

- One day I'll tell you. - You don't trust me.

But you're in luck coming here.

I can give you a lot of information about Lovecchio.

In exchange for what?

Do I look like someone who'd do something for nothing?

No. But I'm listening.

Okay, let's start at the beginning.

You know there are lots of people in America who feel very unhappy.

While, in the Orient, they cultivate certain plants...

that provide a feeling of happiness.

Drugs?

Now, Europe and Italy are in the middle, like a bridge.

- Between the Orient and America. - Cut to the chase.

It's simple. Lovecchio is on that bridge.

So far, you haven't told me anything new.

- What I want to know... - You want to know who...

controls the traffic on that bridge.

You know who it is?

Who says it isn't Lovecchio?

He's not smart enough. He's an executioner.

- What do you mean? - He kills anyone who gets in his way.

So if you're looking for the girl, you're wasting your time.

But if you're looking for justice, I'm with you.

Why?

Because I like you.

And with the big boss out of the way the field is open.

And Gardiello is ready to assume command.

And the merry-go-round starts again.

You're good. Perhaps a bit too good.

What matters is that we're both hunting the same rabbit.

Why don't we work together? I can give you a fast car.

I can give you a gun with a silencer, better than this one here.

I'll also give you Vincenzo, he's very good, he's watching Lovecchio.

He could prove useful.

- It's a deal. - I'll go and get the car.

What happened?

Someone shot at me. What are you doing here?

- I figured you'd gone to see Honey. - Well?

I didn't want to lose sight of you, you've seen what happened.

- That wasn't Gardiello. - Are you sure?

I'll see you for dinner tonight.

As you can see, I'm still alive.

And Gardiello gave me one of his men. Cristina, this is Vincenzo.

- Relax, she's on our side. - Okay, if you trust her.

So, where is this apartment in Laventino?

Via Delle Terme, 12. It's a bachelor pad.

- What about Laventino? - Lisa used to go there with Lovecchio.

Just thinking about it makes me mad.

I'm sure it was just a business relationship, nothing more.

You women always stick together.

At last, I've found you! Have you heard anything?

Sorry, I've been very busy. Cristina Romanelli, Professor Fassi.

My friend Vincenzo. Have a seat.

Well, have you managed to find Lisa?

- I'm starting to lose hope. - Don't be so pessimistic.

She's probably gone out of the city.

Let's have a look at that apartment after we've eaten.

Then we'll go to Circeo, there's a villa there that might yield some clues.

I'll go to the apartment but you're going to Circeo alone.

- Why? - Because I value my life.

They already gave me a beating around there.

- Lovecchio's men? - They sure weren't boy scouts.

My dear Walter, listen to me, don't try and be a hero.

- Those men don't mess around. - Lovecchio has spies everywhere.

And it's tough to spot them. Once...

- Remember this number, 772-356 - What is it?

My phone number, remember it. I have to go.

Are you Walter Bonnelli? Please come with me.

Police.

- Don't go! - Don't interfere.

Hold on. May I see some identification?

- Thank you. - Now, if you don't mind?

Okay, let's go. I'll call you as soon as I can.

We have to do something. Let's go to police headquarters.

- Do you really think he's a cop? - The badge looked authentic.

Have a seat.

I'm Major Rossi.

Please forgive me for bringing you here like this.

I know it's not very orthodox.

But in my profession, I also have to work while I eat.

What do you want with me?

- Just a chat on the way to Anzio. - Anzio?

If you want to question me then take me to headquarters.

I'm taking you to Anzio for a reason, you'll see.

Am I under arrest?

No.

In that case I've no intention of going to Anzio, we can talk here.

Are you forcing me to arrest you?

Do you mind showing me your badge? I believe I have the right to see it.

Of course.

- Cigarette? - No, I don't smoke.

I understand your distrust.

A well organised gang could quite easily obtain a uniform, a fake badge...

and even a car.

I still don't understand what you want from me?

It's about Lisa Ferretti, she's become important, and you know why.

That's what you think.

Lisa Ferretti has come into possession of some evidence...

which might incriminate someone. But who? And what is this evidence?

- Who lead Lisa down that path? - Do you know Giulio, her brother?

- He's a layabout. - Right.

But he's well known in smugglers' circles.

He might have pushed her into it.

But those two are small fish.

We have to get to whoever's working in the shadows.

I know how you must feel but I must ask you to identify her.

It's Lisa.

They found her this afternoon.

The weights holding her down weren't tied properly.

What are you going to do?

None of this can get out for the moment.

Especially to the press.

The slightest alarm and our man will take off.

And we'll never get to the bottom of this.

You have to work with us now.

I can't hide a body forever.

We haven't got long. Twenty four hours at most.

They murdered her because she photographed some documents.

Do you know where these photos are?

Lots of people are looking for them but we have to find them first.

Do you have any leads?

No.

I want to give you a task.

To search an apartment in Laventino.

They'd see us coming from a mile away.

That's where I was heading before you stopped me.

- You know how to get in? - I'll have to make a call.

I don't want to know any more. All I can do is cover your back.

Allow me to introduce officer Berti.

Hello?

Hello, Fassi? Yes, listen.

I'm in a hurry. What?

Is Cristina still there? I have to go, I'll explain later!

- Sorry if I woke you. - It doesn't matter, who's he?

Relax, he's a friend. Let's go.

Looks like nobody's lived here for months.

Strange, I saw Lovecchio bring a lady here a few days ago.

Horses! Lovecchio's obssession.

It doesn't make sense bringing a lady back to a dive like this.

With all the money he has.

You look over there.

Okay, handsome, start talking.

I have nothing to say.

Where are the photos?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Listen, buddy, those photos mean a lot to us.

It's us against you. Come on.

We're wasting our time. I told you...

I got to the woman before she entered his apartment.

- He can't have them. - You idiot.

She had the keys in her hand, she might have been leaving.

Sure, he must have them.

Where have you hidden the photos?

Go easy. Remember, we have to take him outside.

Piranhas don't care what he looks like.

No, clean him up.

So you wanted to meet the boss.

Don't worry, you'll see him.

But it will be the last thing you ever do!

Imbecile!

- Can't you see it's one way? - Sorry, I didn't see the sign.

- Your license, please. - Yes.

Excuse me.

I'm going to buy some cigarettes.

I've run out as well.

Quick, get in!

- How did you find me? - I was passing by.

- Where are you taking me? - To Ostia, my friend's place.

She's a hostess and she's hardly ever home.

Only three people knew I was in Laventino.

Well?

Major Rossi?

Sorry if I woke you, but I've found our man.

It's professor Guido Fassi.

You don't believe me? Don't worry, I have proof.

I'll give you all the details tomorrow. Goodbye.

Have you gone mad? Fassi can't possibly be involved.

Who are you calling now?

Can I speak to Honey, please.

Then wake him up, it's urgent.

Fassi was with me at least half an hour after you left...

So he can't have told anyone. He was never out of my sight.

I know.

Gardiello? It's Bonnelli.

Hold on to something, I found out who's behind Lovecchio.

It's Major Rossi from the police.

He sent me to an apartment in Laventino but it was a trap.

Didn't Vincenzo tell you? He's not back yet?

I'm sure he'll tell you when he arrives.

Yes, okay. I'll explain everything tomorrow.

Can I make a call?

Sure, why not? Get yourself into more trouble.

Professor Fassi?

Relax, everything's okay. I hit the jackpot.

Gardiello is the leader of the organisation.

What?

Vincenzo took me to Laventino to trap me.

You don't believe me?

Just wait and see.

Listen, I'll explain everything tomorrow.

I thought I'd learn something from their reactions, but instead...

In any case...

They all suspect each other now.

No one else knew you'd gone to Laventino.

Wake up! You look like you're in a trance.

Sorry, I was thinking.

Just try to relax.

- I see it all ended well. - Yes, nothing important.

Someone left this for you. It's urgent.

Finally, it's Giulio. He's waiting for me at the bar.

Do you mind waiting here for me?

Please, don't drive so fast! Where are you going?

I don't know.

All I know is three people are dead and I'm not getting anywhere.

If I could just find those photos.

Be careful.

Remember, revenge always leaves a bitter taste.

You went too far this time. Why don't we go to Ostia?

My friend always leaves her keys under the mat.

- What is it now? - Why didn't I think of it before?

Lisa always left the keys by the electricity meter.

It was our secret hiding place.

What are you doing? Who are you?

- Are you crazy? - I'm sorry.

You can't even read a meter in peace nowadays!

I can't believe it!

Finally!

You call Franco and tell him to come straight here.

I'm going to get these developed.

We've hit the jackpot.

A complete list of names, enough to bring down the entire organisation.

Well done, Walter, but they'll be lying low now.

Yes, but the names remain. And they're names that count.

And it looks like there's a signature at the bottom.

Why didn't Lisa give this to the police?

You still don't get it?

To give you the most explosive scoop of the year.

And to apologise for all the bad things she did to you.

Then it's all my fault.

This isn't time to dwell on the past, it's time to act!

You're right.

Franco.

- Take this envelope to the Hilton. - Sure.

- I'll go straight there. - Thanks.

As soon as they receive it they'll show themselves.

Hello?

Did you like the photo, Lovecchio? What do you say?

Leave the insults.

What do I want? Not much.

Just the name of whoever pulls the strings.

If you cooperate you might make it, otherwise...

Sure, not on the phone. Let's meet. Where?

Yes, but no tricks.

Anything happens to me and you'll be on the front page of every newspaper.

I wouldn't trust Lovecchio.

Me neither.

Hello, Fassi?

You don't believe Gardiello's the boss, right?

Well, we'll know for sure tomorrow.

I've persuaded Lovecchio to spit out everything he knows.

I'm meeting him tomorrow morning in Circeo.

He's going to give me the name of the boss.

Don't worry, either he talks or it's over for him and he knows it.

Yes. To tomorrow.

What are you doing now?

You're not going to start making lots of calls again?

Police? Major Rossi, please.

- Where are you going? - Mind your own business.

I'll be gone a few days.

- Everything okay? - Yes.

Don't worry, Gardiello, Lovecchio's prepared to betray him.

I ordered you to stay in Rome.

I came to check. What's wrong?

Nothing, except for the fact that you're an idiot and a traitor!

No, wait, let me explain.

- Our friend sent me... - Get your hands up!

Come here.

I'll see for myself.

Now get back!

It's over for us! We're all going down!

Not me! My name isn't on this list or anywhere else.

Careful, that guy's dangerous.

- Don't underestimate him. - You messed up!

You shouldn't have come here, you shouldn't have killed my men.

And you shouldn't have killed that woman!

That was the biggest mistake.

You're blaming me now? You told me to get her!

You ordered me to make her talk, no matter what!

You ordered me to kill her if she didn't talk!

Johnny, you're too heavy handed for certain tasks.

She was so disfigured she was unrecognisable!

We could have saved her but you were out of your mind!

You put that bar in my hand and told me to make sure she was unrecognisable!

You're an idiot!

I don't need you anymore.

You're finished.

It was a very interesting conversation, professor.

You!

Yes, me. Surprised?

Put your hands up.

And sit down here.

This way you won't know when I'm about to shoot.

Because I'm going to kill you, Fassi.

Like a dog!

The major will come here, he'll find two dead bodies and he'll think...

That you killed each other.

- No, Walter! - Why not?

- You have to pay for Lisa's death. - If you're going to kill me then do it!

No.

That would be too easy.

You're going to die slowly.

I've no intention of finishing you off with the first bullet.

You'd be crazy to kill me!

Think about what you're doing! Listen, I could...

Offer me money?

You took Lisa away from me with your money.

You lured her into the rackets with your money.

And you had her killed for money!

But I loved her!

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I'm just sitting in front of you.

And I could pull the trigger at any moment.

Half way through a sentence.

Even this one!

Not yet.

First, I want you to tell me about Lisa.

Everything. From the start.

You got her hooked on drugs, didn't you?

Yes.

I didn't want to get her involved but she found out.

And she photographed the documents in your office while you were in Florence.

I noticed my safe had been opened and I found the film wrapper.

How did you get to me?

Your name wasn't on that list but it's like your signature was there.

Remember that statue I was looking at the last time I came to see you?

Lisa had used it as a paperweight to photograph those documents.

I'd cut out that artistic detail in the copy I gave Lovecchio.

Look.

Now it's my turn!

Come on, turn around! We're going for a walk by the rocks.

You'll both disappear forever!

You won't float to the surface like Lisa did.

Hold it right there, Fassi!

He could have killed you!

Right on time, Gardiello!

I should have known when I invited you here, bastard!

Your task is over! I don't need you anymore!

- Dirty skunk! You know too much! - Unfortunately for you!

Well, Inspector, it's all very clear now.

Fassi and Lovecchio killed each other.

I'll write my report, organise a couple of funerals and my work will be done.

I tell you, major, as long as they're killing each other, we don't mind.

No, you listen to me. Are you still looking for trouble?

The Inspector has closed the case. That's it, it's over.

You were right, revenge leaves a bitter taste.

Don't think about it now. After what you've been through.

- Would you take me home? - Of course.

But not home, I'll take you to the newspaper, they're waiting for you.

Franco's taken care of everything. They want you back again.

Do it for me.
