Alba?

Good morning.

Good morning.

You like sleeping, huh?

You don't?

I never sleep.

For me nights are a nightmare.

You never sleep?

But last night I did, all thanks to you.

-What time did you sleep until? -Eight-thirty.

What?

Holy crap, it's really late!

I have to run home.

I have to call Riccardo.

Yesterday, I only texted him.

Will you kiss me before you go?

Malik, we really shouldn't.

But I've never been so happy.

I'm going.

Hi.

Hi. Come in.

-You want some coffee? -No, thanks.

I just dropped by to see if everything's OK.

I'm fine, thanks. Emma's good, too.

-You know her name's Emma? -Yes, you told me. -You want some coffee? -No, thank you.

I have to get ready, Carlo doesn't want me to drive, so from today guys from the team are picking me up.

-That's nice of them. -Yeah, they're pals.

I could be available, too.

There's no need,

you're not from our unit it would be a bit weird.

Right.

-It's getting late. -Yeah, I'd better go.

Bye.

Now let's put some music on

and that will cheer us up.

FOR LOVE

-See if the Mortuary Division is coming. -On it.

Let's get out of the way.

What were you doing around here at that hour?

I slept at Paola's, I didn't want to be on my own.

-What's wrong? -Nothing, why?

-You're acting weird. -I found a dead guy.

I work with dead people, but usually I'm prepared.

Excuse me, Inspector, if you'd like to take a look...

-We haven't found his phone. -Thanks.

-Doctor, you can begin. -Thank you.

Look at this.

That's a lot of cash.

Sandro Rovanti, born 10 October 1991 in Rome.

No record.

The homicide took place between midnight and 2:00 a.m.

He was chased and rammed by another car,

pushed off the road and stabbed, he died from blood loss.

Thank you. Security cameras?

The gas station doesn't have any, we're searching the area.

Any idea of the motive?

Not robbery, he had 500 cash and an expensive watch.

That leaves vendetta or exemplary punishment.

Given the dynamics, I'd say vendetta.

He had ID but not his phone.

Usually what's missing is more important than what's there.

Did you ask for phone records and localization?

Of course.

Rovanti was a big guy,

a beast.

To mess him up like that, it was either two guys or one as big as him.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

As if we don't have enough work already, now you go looking for it?

Weren't you supposed to be on leave?

Yes, I was supposed to join Riccardo, but he was busy, so I didn't.

That's what I call a punch!

Yes.

It occurred prior to the killing.

Good, go ahead on your own.

You thought I wouldn't notice?

Because I've been around, I can see you're a bit distracted

and distraction is the enemy of observation.

YOU KNOW IGNORING ME WON'T WORK

I CAN'T NOW

-Let me know, thanks. -You're welcome.

Malik.

I've decided I want to know my subordinates better,

so yesterday I read your file.

After the academy we lost sight of each other...

You've been doing good work.

Thank you.

Your superiors write that you have a gift for investigation.

And so?

So it will be interesting to see how you'll manage

at the archive of the Prosecutor's office in Cagliari.

You'll spend hours sorting paperwork,

but the beaches in Sardinia are wonderful.

-Threats don't work on me. -Me neither.

Deputy Inspector, Mrs Rovanti is in Guerrieri's office with him.

Be right there.

He was the best son in the world, everyone envied me.

I can't believe what they did to him, the state he was in.

But we need to understand, you're the only one who can help us.

Tell me who he hung out with, if he had a girlfriend...

He had a name tattooed on his arm: Laura.

Yes, indeed, I said to him: "What if you break up?"

He said he wanted to marry her.

But last year they broke up.

Did he have a new girlfriend?

You take Africans in the police now?

Deputy Inspector Soprani is more Italian than me and you.

So tell me, did he have a new girlfriend?

I don't know.

Did he have friends?

Sandro always kept to himself,

he was very reserved.

He had trouble finding a job, because of people like you.

He was working at Gaetani's Hardware store.

Do you know how much he earned?

Your son had an expensive car,

a gold watch and 500 euros in cash.

A lot for a hardware clerk.

When my husband died he left us 25,000 euros.

-The car cost twice that. -So what?

From you?

I have to listen to him say my son was a thief?

He didn't mean that.

Never mind my son's finances, just look for his murderer!

Don't be like that, your testimony is important.

I'll take it from here.

Come on.

Sit down, please.

I'm going to the Cold Case Unit, there's news.

You've got until tomorrow. Have a good day.

-Where are you going? -I forgot my keys.

We'll take mine.

I'm doing the best I can to digest having to work with you,

but it's not easy, not because you're black, but because you're an asshole.

Thank you.

Given the situation, even if a lady insults you,

only an asshole can make certain insinuations.

She got on my nerves.

What's someone like you got to be nervous about?

I have Rovanti's address.

That must be the door.

Some apartment, huh?

-He's even hipper than you. -I have better taste.

What did Rovanti do with this?

No idea.

We can go, right?

Take this.

Rovanti was a loan shark.

You're crap at interrogations, but you are observant.

There are alibis to check out, but we have a lead.

I'd call those with the biggest debts first.

What are you doing?

Since you arrived, I have to keep inventing new rules.

-If I don't tell, you don't ask. -It's evidence.

-It's in our hands. -No, it's in your pockets.

Don't bust my balls! I don't want to get pissed off.

You take care of those numbers, I'll take care of what's in my pocket.

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

Is it possible that a 27-year-old only calls his mom and his employer?

Maybe he had another one in another name,

or he communicates in a way that doesn't appear on the records.

His bank account doesn't give much away.

980 euros monthly wage, 3,000 euros savings.

Bills, rent and some cash out.

Rovanti was a loan shark.

That explains a lot.

There are a few names to check, I'll line them up.

-I'll do it. -No, thank you.

Hey, Inspector.

-You're late. -I didn't know what to do with Jacopo.

I'll tell you what to do, send him to school.

What does this say?

-My name. -And the numbers?

If luck's not on my side, what can I do?

I needed something to start up with again.

That's a lot of money.

I asked you for some, too, but you didn't give me any.

What happened to your hand?

Nothing, I cut myself fixing a snack for Jacopo.

You know Rovanti's dead?

My brother told me.

Where were you last night, you and your brother?

You think we killed him?

Rovanti was a hulk, how could I have?

Where were you?

In Via Plinio, emptying out an apartment.

And the loot?

-Show me your hand. -What do you wanna see?

-Take it easy. -You're hurting me.

Precisely, keep still. Well, the loot?

-Let's go home to see. -It's not at my place.

My brother hid it. We haven't sold anything.

That stuff needs to be returned to the apartment.

Do I go back into the apartment?

I couldn't give a shit how you do it, I'm not joking.

I'll have you arrested and the kid taken away from you.

Giovanni Del Brin has been in hospital for a week.

Lorenzo Carlesi has been out of Rome since yesterday, cross him out.

I'll request phone tracking just the same.

There's this Di Sacco who was supposed to pay three weeks ago.

Let's start with him.

CENTRAL CRIME PREVENTION DIRECTORATE Yes, maybe I can do something.

I'll be in touch.

Thanks.

-We're waiting for you, hurry up. -Thank you, speak soon.

Guerrieri, you don't have a medical examiner as boss,

you have the medical examiner par excellence.

Thanks to my acumen,

now I have to go meet that pain in the neck De Franchi.

He's decided to hold a summit

and I absolutely have to be there.

Read it, I'll just keeping waffling on, you don't need to reply.

"I'm in the area, I want to see you."

-It's from my father. -He announces when he's coming?

-Hi, Giovanna. -I was just leaving, damn it.

After this experience I'm going to open my own ossuary.

Hi, sweetheart.

-I need a favor. -What is it?

-What's wrong? -Nothing, why?

That's the same face as when you had to pee as a kid

and you didn't want to tell me.

Dad, really!

Can you tell if this wound is compatible with Rovanti's weapon?

This picture is out of focus, is it you or your phone?

Me.

No, this wound is not straight.

With Rovanti they used a double-edged blade.

It's not the same weapon.

Anyway I'll load it onto the computer and I'll know more.

Listen, but...

-Is this Bosca? -Yes.

Let me know about that wound, it's important.

What are you doing here?

-Hi, Alba. -Hi.

The investigation's going nowhere, I was hoping for the autopsy.

Repola said they're going to get Pasquale Di Sacco.

Yes, two nights ago, he was treated in hospital, he says he fell,

but he may have been beaten up.

Rovanti bears signs of a fight from a few days ago.

No dead end, go to the office, we'll figure out where we are.

OK. See you soon.

What is he doing here? Is he hitting on you?

-Really, Dad! -Really what? Kiss.

Bye.

I won't ask you if you know the name Rovanti, I already know.

How did it go with the debt? Did you pay him after the beating?

No.

-He beat you up and you took revenge. -What revenge...?

I only managed to get in a couple of punches,

it was impossible with him.

How did you end up in Rovanti's hands?

They got me involved in a business deal but it was a scam,

a pyramid scheme.

When I was in the red, they introduced me to Rovanti.

-What did he want back? -30% interest.

It was impossible to keep up.

If I didn't pay, he'd kill me.

Where were you yesterday between 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.?

On the ring road, I volunteer on the ambulances.

There was a nasty accident, you can check.

All right, you can go.

-What happens now? -It's over.

Rovanti is dead and you don't have any debt.

Thank you!

Goodbye.

-There was no point holding him. -I know.

Lots of people will sleep well tonight because of Rovanti's death.

The fact he's dead doesn't make him a saint,

now they can sleep easy.

Death should never be a solution.

It can be a liberation, though.

Even for the person on that page.

Mind your own fucking business. See you tomorrow.

Hi, where are the personnel files?

Back there.

The figures you gave in the notebook are incomplete.

- But I got the name and the number. -Send me everything.

-Hello? -This is Soprani from the Monti station.

I have an urgent request relating to the number 341 3345789.

-Registered to Ottavia Danti. -Noted.

I need her movements from last night,

between 10:30 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.

-OK, I'll send them to you. -Thanks.

What do you want?

I gave you time until tomorrow, but this might help you decide.

Bosca was killed by a gunshot wound.

The bullet is ours, he was shot by a cop.

Hi.

-Come in. -Thanks.

I've always liked the view from this apartment.

I'm not selling my parents' place anymore, I'm going to live there.

I'm filing for divorce.

Tonight I'm telling Franco, I wanted you to know.

Are you sure? Have you thought it through?

I've been thinking about it for nine years.

I've made up my mind,

if you want to stay with me, good, if not I'll be on my own.

Put like that it's blackmail.

It's not blackmail, it's what I feel.

It should interest you.

Wait, don't go.

I don't feel like it tonight.

-It was good the other night. -Precisely, the other night.

ARE YOU ASLEEP?

SEE YOU AT THE JANICULUM?

I couldn't stand it, I needed to hold you.

Me too.

Malik, I don't know what to do.

I do.

-Even my dad has twigged. -Is that a problem?

For you it is.

Sorry, I feel like an elephant.

-Don't be silly. Have a good day. -Thanks, bye.

Coming.

Hi.

What's wrong?

-I wonder if you got her pregnant. -What are you talking about?

All right...

I'll call you at lunchtime.

Hello, it's Guerrieri, I want to know if you've recovered the stolen goods.

Yes, thank you, except there's a ring missing.

-What, a ring missing? -Yes, unfortunately.

Madam, I promise that you'll have the ring by tonight.

-Thank you. -Excuse me again.

That little bitch.

I don't know if you realize.

The bullet is ours.

-Did they find the shell? -Yes.

He was killed by a cop.

I wasn't the only cop working on the Bosca case.

Of course.

The problem is in '93 they changed the service gun.

-How will we find him? -My contact's out of the game.

They've marked it all as confidential. How the fuck do we find him?

We have to get there before the Cold Case guys.

-If you want to pull out, I understand. -I'm not pulling out.

But you have to tell me the truth.

"Ottavia Danti's cell phone

pinged off the tower of the crime scene at 00:45 a.m."

-Type up the list on the computer. -I'll get it printed.

And this too is done.

We've checked all Rovanti's debtors.

Malik, are you with us?

Either we missed something or we have to look elsewhere.

Nothing came out of the checks on the cars,

theirs, their wives', their husbands', their kids'.

What does forensics say about the car?

Nothing.

If nothing comes out of his debtors,

we'll look elsewhere.

He was a loan shark, fleecing people with 30% interest rates.

Where should we look?

Check the names again one by one,

see if you can find anything, since you're so clever.

Give me that.

Excuse me.

Wait a minute.

What is it, Mom?

I want to report the disappearance of a boy who's at the center.

Ahmed, we haven't heard from him since yesterday.

I'm at the café, you coming down?

All right, on my way.

Hi, Mom.

Who is this Ahmed?

A kid at the center, he didn't come home last night.

I've left a picture and his details.

How are you? I haven't seen you for ages.

I've been really busy.

Really! Last night I even slept.

Everyone sleeps at night, it shouldn't be an exception.

I have to go.

I'll let you know about Ahmed, I'll speak to my colleagues.

Bye.

I don't want you coming into my office when I'm not here.

We don't need to start from scratch to find Rovanti's killer,

we just go ahead from here.

What's that?

Phone tracking for Ottavia Danti, the name on that page.

At 1:00 a.m. she was connected to the murder tower for a while.

-How did you identify her? -I took the notebook to Forensics.

A man was killed.

So, what do you think I'm doing here?

Protecting criminals?

I won't smash your face in only because you saved Alba's life,

but this case is mine

and I'll run it how the fuck I please.

I tamper with evidence, and there's only one thing you can do:

trust me.

Get out of my office.

Yes?

I'm in.

I'll do the investigation into Guerrieri.

I knew you'd come onto my side. I don't take sides, Micaela.

I'm going to figure out who killed Rovanti.

It's Rovanti's fault if the ring is missing.

-To pay him back, I gambled it. -Where?

There's a gambling den in Via Laudani,

until midnight it's a bar, then it becomes a gambling den.

What time did you go?

Around one, after the robbery.

Via Laudani is 500 yards from the place where we found Rovanti dead.

How does that come into it? I don't get around in a helicopter.

The cell towers come into it, you idiot.

What time did you leave?

Around two.

Was your brother with you?

No, he was home with Jacopo. He's 19, I don't take him gambling.

Stealing is OK, but not gambling?

If you want, you can stop stealing, but gambling is harder.

I don't want him to pick up my bad habits.

What an idiot.

It was right in front of me and I didn't see it.

-What are you talking about? -Rovanti's new girlfriend.

Carlo!

The mother lied to us, or she didn't know her son had a new relationship.

Get her in here. And this time you keep away.

Of course I know her, it's Laura.

Laura Ormini.

She and Sandro were together for three years, then they broke up.

Sandro really loved her.

So did I, like a daughter.

How come they broke up?

I don't know, Sandro never told me.

But I have a pretty good idea.

We weren't good enough for her.

Her father is a professor,

her brother was a tax attorney, she was in college...

I've always been a cleaning woman.

Do you know if they saw each other recently?

I don't think so,

Sandro suffered, but then he came to terms with it.

He recently had this print made

of Laura's picture.

I don't know what to say.

All I know is Sandro really loved her.

-Hello. -Good morning.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Good morning.

-Hello, I'm Inspector Guerrieri. -How do you do?

My partner Soprani.

-We'd like to speak to Laura. -Yes, I'm her father.

-Are you here about Sandro? -Yes.

We read about it but, please, be tactful with Laura.

She's very fragile,

the news shook her up, although they broke up a while ago, fortunately.

You didn't like Rovanti?

-Do you have children, inspector? -Yes, a daughter.

Then you'll understand. I couldn't have liked a boy like that.

Take a seat, I'll go get her.

Your relationship was over for good?

Yes.

Sandro wanted to try again but I said no.

-He accepted it. -He had a tattoo with your name.

That was a long time ago.

The print of your portrait is recent, though.

How long since you saw him?

I don't remember.

I'm seeing someone else,

a nice boy.

-What's his name? -Francesco.

-And then? -Gigli.

He lives in Veroli.

It's early days yet, it's not really a relationship.

-I haven't told him about Sandro. -Good.

If you need anything, we're here.

Thank you. One more thing...

Do you know Laura's new boyfriend?

-Does your daughter tell you everything? -I don't think so.

If what they don't tell us is nice, there's no problem.

Has Laura hidden things that are not nice from you? She couldn't have, even if she'd wanted to.

What Rovanti did to her, she carried the marks all day.

Nicola. Come here.

These gentlemen are from the police, investigating Sandro's death.

This is my son.

We haven't heard from him in a while, how can we help you?

If anything comes to mind, let us know.

All right.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

-What is it? - Ottavia Danti's in the clear.

-You sure? -I checked her alibi.

-Thank you. -Not at all, speak soon.

-The car's all good. -So is Ottavia Danti.

But this girl here is lying.

Francesco Gigli has contacts with Laura Ormini,

but they're not very frequent,

not like a couple in the early days.

Get her phone traced,

Laura's, her father's and her brother's.

I'll see if he has a car.

Hello.

-Can you come to me? -On my way.

Laura's boyfriend, or whatever, has a car.

-Shall I call our guys in Veroli? -Yes.

Yes....

Rossella Bosca, 3, Alfieri Street, Viterbo.

Bosca's sister.

The investigation started with her, she's expecting you.

What about Rovanti?

Guerrieri can manage a few hours without you.

I'll tell you straight out, my brother was a bad person

and my husband and I have cut ties with him.

So why did you report him missing?

I needed to find him for certain inheritance matters.

Who did your brother associate with?

Like I said,

I'd lost touch with him, but...

I found these at his place, back then.

They might be useful to you.

-Have you heard from him since? -No, never.

-May I? -Please.

No one could have tracked him down?

I'm sorry.

Do you know who this girl is?

I have no idea. Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Yes, I've been called in to make an identification.

-My name's Alice Soprani. -You're Malik's mom?

Yes.

-Do you know him? -We work together. How can I help you?

It's for an Ethiopian boy who disappeared from the center where I work.

Straight ahead, second door on the right,

you'll find a morgue attendant.

-Thank you. -Not at all.

Goodbye.

It's you! Hi.

I know I said we'd see each other tonight,

but I had to take my mom somewhere and I have to get back to the office.

I don't know if I'll make it, I'm sorry.

Doesn't matter, I still have a lot to do.

Bye.

Bye.

I think you need it more than I do.

Thanks. Welcome back.

Thank you.

Cantabella told me there's some news.

Yes, the girl lied.

The tower near the gas pump connected to her phone from midnight till one.

-Shall we go and get her? -No.

And not because I want to protect a killer,

but because I was thinking about love.

She can't have done it by herself.

If we're talking about love, she had a boyfriend.

His car doesn't have a scratch, he didn't move from Veroli

and he didn't know he was her boyfriend.

-Who helped her? -I don't know.

But whoever did it might want to do it again.

-What? -Protect her.

-From whom? -From us, we just have to set it up.

I have to go that way to get home.

But you said you were at home.

That's not true, I was out.

-With Rovanti? -No, with someone else.

-Your boyfriend? -A guy I met at a club.

-What's his name? -I don't know, I was drunk.

The phone tracking shows you stopped at the gas station for a long time.

For over an hour,

the time necessary to ram Rovanti off the road,

fight and take out a knife.

That's enough now, stop it.

-It was me. -What did you say?

My daughter isn't involved, she was in bed. -She was sleeping. -No, he's saying it to protect me.

My daughter has nothing to do with this, take me away.

I'm taking both of you, come on.

I'd interrogate them separately.

Excuse me, can I help you?

Where are you going? Stop!

You can't come in like this.

They brought my father and my sister here.

It's my son.

Lisi.

I killed Rovanti.

If we're to believe you, we need some evidence, like the car.

The gypsies near my house have those big cars.

-I got them to sell me one. -Where is it now?

I took it out of town and burned it.

My father and my sister have nothing to do with it, I did it with my car.

I bought it from my girlfriend's brother.

-And where is it now? -I took it to the shop.

Sandro came back to me three months ago.

He was working, he said he'd changed.

-And you fell for it. -He loved me in his own way.

He beat her up constantly, she was scared of him.

-Why didn't you report him? -He threatened me, too.

Before she met Rovanti my sister was happy.

I couldn't stand seeing her like that anymore, she was exhausted.

-Was your sister with you? -No, Laura knew nothing about it.

But her phone was at the gas pump.

Laura had forgotten it in my car.

-Sandro wasn't what you believe. -I believe in facts.

Facts depend on a lot of things.

How did you find Rovanti?

I knew the places he liked to go.

I forced him to go into the gas station

and I told him to leave my daughter in peace.

I only wanted to threaten him.

And then?

He took out a knife and pointed it at me.

We ended up on the ground and he started bleeding.

I don't know what got into me.

I believe you, but there's something missing: your father.

-My father was at home. -No, he was with you.

Your stories match in every way, except for the car.

We checked with the body shop, it's like your son said.

You were together, right?

Nicola's just a kid,

he has his whole life ahead of him.

Without him, Laura would be on her own.

Let me pay the price for both of us.

I didn't understand a thing, I thought that Laura was involved.

Considering how guilty she'll feel, it doesn't change much.

They chose the worst way to save her.

Maybe love doesn't always give the best advice.

You don't know how true that is.

"Declaration of disappearance and presumed death of Clara Soldani Guerrieri."

-Why aren't you answering? -I've been busy, I told you.

Is Riccardo back?

Your mother came.

-When? -Yesterday.

Strange, she was supposed to be with you.

It's nothing to do with us. I can explain.

There's nothing to explain, you don't owe me anything.

Me neither.

-It's not true, what we have... -What do we have?

A few hours together doesn't change what we are or create obligations.

Alba...

We each have our life.
