Dad, have you seen Sarah?

Daddy! Dad!

No! I haven't seen her!

And sleep, sleep, sleep will come.

The Virgin Mary passed by and asked me where my child is.

I answered, "Virgin Mary, put her to sleep."

And sleep, sleep, sleep will come.

The Virgin Mary passed by and asked me where my child is.

I answered, "Virgin Mary, put her to sleep."

THIS IS NOT HOLLYWOOD

Father,

I…

What have you done?

I…

Serious things?

Impure acts?

Have you blasphemed against God?

- What have you done? - I have…

I have… I have to ask a question. I wanna ask you something.

Well, then, ask away. Go ahead.

On death…

Can those who are not baptized…

can they still go to heaven?

No.

No. They stay in limbo.

And God? I mean, God can't do anything about it?

Of course. God, our Merciful Father, can do anything.

Thanks to the sacred rite of the funeral,

we commit the souls of children who have died unbaptized

directly into the hands of God.

With a funeral?

Yes, with a funeral.

They'd have that at least, even though they're unbaptized.

I understand. I understand…

With a funeral.

Hey!

- Where is limbo? - What?

Where do you bury the little ones who have not been baptized?

The first… second… third… fourth…

the fifth cypress, on the left.

Have you seen Sarah Scazzi?

Please help us find her. Have you seen Sarah Scazzi?

Have you seen Sarah Scazzi? Please help us find her.

Have you seen Sarah Scazzi?

It has been two weeks

since anyone has heard from the young girl, Sarah Scazzi.

If anyone has any information that could help,

please contact the local police station.

Have you seen Sarah Scazzi? Please help us find her.

Have you seen Sarah Scazzi?

- White as usual, Miché? - Yes, white.

…15-year-old girl from Avetrana.

- …no new information and… - The flowers of heaven.

…as days go by, this doesn't bode well.

It has been two weeks, and police continue investigating any tip.

There are many theories, but right now…

Good morning, Miché.

I saw Valentina at the square.

How long is she staying for?

Yes.

As soon as we find Sarah, she'll go back to Rome.

Cosima is a lucky woman, huh? To get all these flowers from you.

…Sarah's name, among her schoolmates',

as a wish that she will soon return…

Yes.

Well, I'll see you.

Bye, Miché.

Bye.

Hey, don't say a word.

- I think you have to tell them. - I shouldn't have told you.

Goddammit.

THIS IS NOT HOLLYWOOD

Please protect our sweet little girl.

Tell God to take her to Heaven.

She's a good girl with no sins.

Mimi, unbaptized babies don't go to heaven.

Worry about your own soul, Miché.

Come on.

Come on. You're not worth anything. You're not worth it.

You're disgusting. You're so disgusting!

Come on! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!

While Avetrana continues to be in the spotlight,

as it has been over the past month,

some people have started to become jaded…

Turn off the TV before I smash it!

No, Mom. We should listen to what they say, shouldn't we?

I said turn it off!

…graffiti that reads "This is not Hollywood." A cal...

- It's piping hot. - Sorry, Dad.

You wanted to be on television, didn't you? Well, that's what you get.

Enough with putting out our personal business for everyone to see.

This circus is ruining our lives. It's time we get on with our lives, right?

Don't you think?

You're right, Mom.

Is it hot?

It's fine.

They sure don't fry fish like this in Rome.

- Mom, you can eat fish in Rome. - Yeah, freshwater fish!

- Hmm. It's not bad, though. - Hmm.

- Hmm. That's good. - It's tasty, right?

Yeah. Just a bit salty.

- Of course it's salty! - Season it with lemon.

- You think? - Yes.

And sleep… sleep, sleep will come.

The Virgin Mary passed by

and asked me where my child is.

Mm.

Eat. What are you staring at?

I answered, "Virgin Mary, put her to sleep."

- And sleep, sleep, sleep will come. - Sleep, sleep will come.

- The Virgin Mary passed by… - The Virgin Mary passed by

- and asked me where my child is… - …and asked me where my child is.

- "Virgin Mary… - …I answered: "Virgin Mary,

- "put her to sleep." - "…put her to sleep."

And sleep, sleep, sleep will come.

It was by accident, like I said. I just came out here,

because I'd lost... I'd forgotten my screwdriver here, right?

Then, suddenly, I noticed something strange.

Where exactly? Go on.

So, I got here, right? And I saw a silver cellphone.

I took it and turned. I took… I took it and turned it around.

I thought it belonged to a coworker.

But it was all burned, so I threw it on the ground.

I tossed it.

But why did you throw it?

I kind of… got scared.

I immediately knew that it was Sarah's.

So, I left it there, where it is now.

Why did he have to be the one to find it?

Huh.

The odds were a million to one.

Like, say, when someone

never plays the lottery,

then plays it once and wins.

This really messes things up for him.

And where did this phone even come from?

They'll think he left it there.

Of course they'll think the worst of him.

What else would they think?

Doesn't it seem strange to you?

Or am I the only one in this house who thinks that, huh?

50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. Thanks.

No. It's 100 per night if you want to spy on them without cameras.

With cameras, the price goes up.

- Ah. And how much? - At least another hundred.

Leo? Lend me 20 euros. I'll pay you back tomorrow.

Here you are.

Samuele, sleep on the couch tonight.

You'll take his room. It overlooks their house.

I gave you quite a special deal. Follow me.

And sleep, sleep, sleep will come.

The Virgin Mary passed by

and asked me where my child is…

I answered,

"Virgin Mary,

put her to sleep."

And sleep, sleep, sleep will come.

Leo. Leo. Hey! Leo, wake up. Come on. Move it.

Mr. Misseri?

Good morning. Sorry to bother you so early in the morning.

May I ask you to comment on the discovery of your niece's phone?

Mister, uh, may I call you Michele?

Michele, can you tell us what happened?

What happened?

I went to the field where I work, right?

I'd forgotten my screwdriver there and wanted to get it back.

When suddenly, I saw a silver cellphone.

It was burned with a charm hanging from it.

Did you know right away that it belonged to Sarah?

Yes.

Yes.

I… I… I felt it inside me.

And, in your opinion, how do you think it got there?

How should I know?

Someone must have tossed it out of their window

as they were driving by in their car.

- Some bad Christian who was driving by. - Well, it's an extraordinary coincidence

that it was found in the field where you work and by you, of all people.

Hm…

An… And now I… I feel uncomfortable.

And… Because now, people who will see me,

uh, will say, "How could that be, huh?

"It's odd that the uncle was the one who found it."

I… I wish it wasn't me!

Th… They might even think that…

that I was the one who put it there.

Some doubts are to be expected.

Wh… what can I say? All I… All I can say is that… that Sa… Sarah

I feel like she's far away from here, from Avetrana.

Sarah is not in Italy. Someone kidnapped her.

I don't know if they're gangsters or what.

I don't know why, I really don't, but I feel like

it's my duty to find her.

I found her phone, and now I have to find her.

I… I have… have this feeling inside me. I do.

Mr. Michele, what's in there?

It's my garage. It's my home.

Do you want to see it?

It's just that it's… it's a long cellar, you know?

From here, you ca… can't see a thing.

Inside. Go inside, you idiot.

Put the camera down.

- Ma'am, calm down. - Mrs. Cosima…

Hey! You just don't get it. You're worse than a vulture, aren't you?

No, listen, Sabrina. I'm just doing my job.

You have a shitty job. Congratulations.

You call this a job, huh? Ruining the lives of people

who work the fields from dawn till dusk?

Inside, I said! Inside!

No, Ms. Cosima. My job is to look for the truth.

Maybe it's time someone starts telling it.

I'm certainly not going to tell it to you.

- Let's go, Sabri. Ignore her. - I'll never tell you anything again.

- Got it? Not a single word! - That's enough now.

Stop wasting your time with her!

You see, I'm the one who controls you.

Now, just wait to see what I'm capable of.

- Get inside the house. - Who will you tell the truth to?

To someone better than you.

- Walk. Inside the house. Inside. - Yeah.

- Michele, a statement for the press. - Do you think Sarah will come home?

Where did you find it?

What kind of relationship did you have with Sarah?

- Tell us about the phone. - Give us some details, Michele.

Is she still alive? Michele. You think Sarah will return?

Dad! Dad.

Daddy, come here!

Get out of my way!

Michele! Michele! Mr. Misseri!

That's enough!

…a turning point in the mysterious case in Avetrana.

After 40 days of investigation, there are new developments.

How do you think it got there?

How should I know?

Someone must have tossed it out of their window

as they were driving by in their car. Some bad Christian who was driving by.

Well, it's an extraordinary coincidence

that it was found in the field where you work

and by you, of all people.

An… And now I… I feel uncomfortable,

because now people who will see me, uh… will say, "How could that be, huh?

It's odd that the uncle was the one who found it."

And they'd be right, really. I… I wish it wasn't me!

Th… They could even think… that I was the one who put it there.

Some doubts are expected…

Mimi…

Many questions are yet to be answered.

The investigation will likely, from now, follow…

You really want to destroy this family, huh?

…Where is Sarah Scazzi? What really happened in Avetrana?

What role did her uncle Michele play

in this...

Look at that.

What is this?

It's a summons to question you, Dad.

You have to go to Taranto, to the courthouse, to tell your story.

To tell the truth.

Dad, that Giove guy will destroy you.

He's trying to frame us. He's obsessing over us.

- What do I say? - Not a single thing.

Or else he'll make you confess to anything. Things you've never done.

It doesn't take much to fool you.

Daddy, look at me.

Is there something you want to tell us before you tell him?

What are you talking about? Shut up!

You've changed. I don't recognize you anymore.

You've lost so much weight. You don't talk anymore.

You can tell us anything, Dad.

Did you do something to Sarah?

You know I love you, right?

Go hug your father.

INSECTICIDE

I'm sorry for my family.

I'll tell them the truth.

They can think what they want of me.

It just happened.

I mean, they'll do what they want. They did it.

To your daughter.

I didn't want to do it!

I'm sorry for my family. I'll tell them the truth.

They can think what they want of me.

It just happened.

Sabri… what happened to Sarah?

Valenti, how would I know?

Do you think Dad had anything to do with it?

I really don't know.

Hey, enough.

Tighter. Tighter.

Sabri, go call him now.

Cosima, are you worried for Michele? What will he tell them?

- Mr. Misseri! - Question for you!

Are you ready?

Cosima, what are you thinking? What will he tell them?

Michele. Michele. Michele. Michele.

Hello, ma'am. How are you?

What are you going to tell DA Giove?

Get in!

Wait for me! Wait for me! Wait for me! Wait for me.

- There's Sabrina. - Sabrina. Sabrina.

Sabrina, do… Do you think your father might not come back home?

Out of the way!

Sabrina, can you give us some more details?

Sabrina, what are your thoughts

on the discovery of the phone?

Why didn't you go with them?

Sabrina, did you remember any other details?

Here comes Ms. Florio.

- Is it her? Does she have an exclusive? - The RAI! The RAI!

That's Florio.

Sabrina, over here.

- Tell us something, Sabrina. - Sabrina, one more statement.

Sabrina.

- Daniela! My dear, how are you? - Hi. I'm good, thanks.

I've been watching all your reports. They're very useful.

Oh, yeah? I've been here for five weeks, so…

Five weeks? Here?

- Yeah… - Dear God! After this live,

I'm running out of here. Tomorrow I'm in Rome. Bye!

- Hi. - Sabrina.

No, no. Gisella, don't do this to us.

We've been here for two weeks!

- It's not fair! - We're working here.

Sabrina, come back.

Please, tell us how you feel.

Miché, what's wrong?

Nothing. It's too tight.

- Can I take it off? - No! Why, Dad? It really suits you.

Keep it on. You look less like a peasant.

Michele Misseri.

What do I say?

Miché, you know what you should say. You tell the truth, okay? Go.

Guys, seriously! Careful. Don't break anything, please, okay?

My mom will kill you.

Guys, be careful!

- Andrew. - Mm-hmm?

Would you move that statue into the shot?

- Hmm. - Is this good?

- That's fine. - Oh! How many chairs do we need?

So, uh, Mama Concetta, Auntie Cosima, Uncle Michele. And Sabrina, of course.

Four chairs then.

No, wait. We need one for Concetta's lawyer.

- Five. - Five.

Sabrina. Where would you like to sit?

I'm not sure they can make it, though.

What do you mean?

I don't know how long it's going to take.

God, it's a shame we picked today…

How could we know?

Anyway, it's still early.

What could keep them there that late? They'll be back in time, I'm sure.

Sit down, and let's see how it looks.

Thank you.

So. Hmm. Can we try with this other one?

Okay, thanks.

- Show me your profile. - Hmm.

I'd try the other one. Let's check the lights. Hmm?

- Better, right? - Yeah, that's better. That's my best side.

You okay? Aren't you feeling well?

No. It's too tight.

You want to take it off? Make yourself comfortable.

- Why? Will it take long? - You tell me.

- What am I supposed to tell you? - We all have something to say.

How are things at home?

You're a close-knit family, right?

When did you and Cosima first meet?

Bu… but what are you asking me, sir?

What? It's just a question.

In 1977.

Were you young?

Well, we were 23.

- And then you went to Germany? - Yes, to Hamburg. For work.

Your daughters were born there?

Did you call me here to talk about facts?

What "facts"?

The phone.

I already explained what happened, didn't I?

Even my daughters said,

"What a coincidence! Why did he have to find it?"

Eh.

And what did you tell them?

That even if I shouldn't have found it, eh, I still did.

Of course. Then, let's not talk about the phone.

Here, it says that on the day that Sarah went missing,

you were picking beans in your brother-in-law's field.

My wife's brother, my brother-in-law. I even brought them home.

Ah. Were they good?

Yes.

Good. Your brother-in-law told us you got to the field at...

At 2:30. He was already there.

- Who was? - Him! Don't we speak the same language?

Well…

But your brother-in-law told us a different story.

What's he say?

He said you got there only after 3:45 pm.

That's his version.

Yes. And he even said he remembers it very well.

Well, I remember it well, too.

Then, we need to see who remembers it best.

I remember it well. I do!

Are you sure?

There you go. Good. Let's get comfortable.

So, tell me, Michele.

I can call you "Michele," right? It's easier.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

It's Sabrina calling. She's worried.

Tell her we're not leaving anytime soon. I don't think it's going well.

Sabri? Yes, he's still in there.

What the fuck am I going to tell them?

No, we go on air at 9:00 p.m. Why is it taking so long?

What is Dad doing?

Sabrina…

Sabrina, any news?

No, they're still there. They're questioning him.

Do you know how long it'll be? We're running out of time here.

- We can't do it anymore. - What?

We can't go live. I already told you. I can't sit there. I just can't do it.

Sabrina, this is not a game. This is a major broadcast.

It's prime time. We're live.

What do you want from me? It's always Sabrina's fault, ah?

I don't feel good, all right?

Yeah, we need to sort this out.

No,

because if they don't get here in time, we're fucked.

Hold on. Sabrina, can we at least call someone?

I don't know. We could try to call… Mariangela,

Stefania, Liala. But, no… no, they won't come.

We need someone who's okay with talking about Sarah.

You make it sound as if it's not worth the bother.

We can try and call Alessio Pisello. He's not camera-shy.

Does he speak well?

Of course. He finished school.

We can call the other guy. The one they said you liked.

No, no, no, I'm sure he won't come.

Give us his number. If we call him, he'll come.

Everyone comes for TV, huh?

You said you got there at 2:30.

Let's see about that. Where were you coming from?

Uh, I… went to my brother's,

to his farmhouse, where he lives? His horses had escaped.

- Horses? - Uh, horses, yes.

I had to… help him get them back.

- And you got them back? - That's right.

I can't speak as good as you, but I'm good at these things, you know.

I didn't go to school, but I do well in the fields and with animals.

Hmm.

If I ask your brother, will he confirm what you're telling me?

- Of course. - Of course… Hmm.

It's going to rain. We have to go home now.

Miché, it's entirely up to you when we go home.

So, please.

Turn it up. I can't hear the fucking thing.

…of Michele Misseri has been going on for hours.

We're live from his house, and his daughter Sabrina is here with us.

- He will not be joining… - Mom?

…us today, though, as she has yet to hear from him.

I mean, it's understandable why he's not able to join us.

So… we're live from their house. The owners are not there.

And let's remember it's 9:00 p.m.,

so Sabrina's father has been in questioning for nine hours

with the DA who has been carrying out the investigation.

Try to relax yourself, Michele. Be calm.

When you talk to me, just think only about your little niece

and nothing else.

Because that young girl deserves,

if God wills that she's still alive, to go home.

Right? And if she's no longer alive…

she at least deserves a proper burial.

Am I right, Michele?

Michele, do you believe in God?

Of course, I do. I even believe in the Virgin Mary,

and all our Saints. We're Christians, after all.

We all are.

Have you received the sacraments?

All of them.

And did you know that Sarah wasn't baptized?

Yes. Yes. I know that.

Do you know that if we don't find her, she won't receive Jesus Christ's blessing?

Without a funeral, you're condemning her to hell.

Look inside your heart, Michele…

Help your little niece.

The baby is so cold.

And sleep, sleep, sleep will come.

The Virgin Mary passed by

and asked me where my child is.

I answered, "Virgin Mary, put her to sleep."

And sleep, sleep, sleep will come.

The Virgin Mary passed by…

and asked me where my child is…

- I answered, "Virgin Mary..." - Can you stop it already?

We can hear you from upstairs.

- And sleep… - Michele.

- …sleep, sleep will come. - Michele. Michele…

Do you want to tell me what you've done?

You can't carry a burden like that your whole life.

She was a 15-year-old child.

Help us understand what happened.

Unfortunately, bad things happen.

Accidents can happen, too.

Free your soul, Michele.

Let that little girl have a funeral.

At least tell us where her body is. At least that.

At Mosca.

On my father's property.

In the well.

She's in the well.

So, uh, unconfirmed reports reveal that,

uh, Michele Misseri confessed

to the crime after an interrogation that lasted several hours.

So… he would have, um…

I'm sorry. I'm trying to read it with you

because, um, it just says…

Um. So, "The investigators…"

Okay, okay, they're looking for the body.

Um… "After the interrogation, a feverish search

of the Avetrana countryside."

Here, um… they're talking about a turning point

after the interrogation. Um, today, they've questioned her uncle.

Says he has confessed to the crime, and they're searching for…

That's not possible. That's not possible.

Concetta, do you understand what's going on?

Concetta, do you?

I'm trying to.

Concetta, do you want us to end the live feed?

It's your call.

If you want us to stop the program,

I'll stop the live feed immediately. It's your decision, of course.

Yes, uh… That's best.

Yes, I would say it's appropriate to stop here.

I need to speak with my client about this development.

Yes, I understand. So, counselor,

um, Concetta, we're ending the live feed.

- Let's go, Concetta. - Okay.

The broadcast is over.

Daniela, Daniela! We should get moving, too!

Hurry, our car is parked on the other side of the road!

I don't know where.

Guys, we need to cover this.

Wait for me there! I'm coming.

Go, go, go!

I wanna go home.
