Bring in the witness!

Sit down. Mr. Prato. You need to sit down. You're not helping.

Good morning.

Good morning. We ask that you read the witness oath.

I am aware of my responsibility.

I am aware of my responsibility, both legal and moral,

to bear witness without falsehood and so I swear to tell the whole truth,

and not withhold from this court any knowledge I have.

District Attorney, your witness. Go ahead.

Good morning. Thank you, Your Honor.

Officer Nobili,

would you please tell us what happened in the holding cells

of the Police station in Rome on November 13th, 2014?

We made a few… arrests that day, in the San Lorenzo neighborhood,

most of them for drug dealing.

HQ had ordered us to sweep the area.

And was Mr. Stefan Ismaili, born in Valona, Albania,

the 31st of May, 1993, among those arrested by you?

Yes.

Please tell us what happened in the station.

The detainee had been placed in a holding cell

and he asked if he could use the bathroom.

Was he allowed to?

One of my colleagues told him if he needed to go,

he could do so up against the wall.

In the holding cell?

In the holding cell, yes.

What happened after that?

When he had finished up,

the same colleague pushed him to the ground,

and… dragged the detainee through the urine to mop it up.

-Did anyone intervene? -No.

No? Not even you?

No.

Please, continue.

After that.

Uh. Both he and another officer,

they took him and they attacked him.

What the fuck?

Order in the court!

Apologies, Officer Nobili. Could you be more specific?

What do you mean he was "attacked?"

Was he kicked, or punched, or slapped, or what?

All of those, sir.

All of them. I see.

Officer Nobili,

are the colleagues in question here in the courtroom today?

Yes.

Could you point them out to us?

He's lying!

He's making it all up. It's a load of bullshit!

-Fuck you, you bastard, Nobili! -Hey. Mr. Prato, stop.

Your Honor, let the record show that Officer Nobili indicated wordlessly

that those responsible for the attack on Stefan Ismaili

were Officers Paolo Montieri and Giuseppe Prato.

-Fucking rat! -We have families!

Fuck you!

All we want is the truth.

We wanna know who's responsible for what happened in Val di Susa.

I don't want revenge. I want justice. Justice for me and my son.

Because what happened there can never happen again.

The State put my Franco in a coma.

A police officer was also seriously injured

while he was just doing his job.

If we can have justice, it will also be for him.

Franco is only one of many victims of what happened there.

Honestly, I feel very close to the family of that officer, because

we're the only ones that truly understand what the other is going through.

Our situations right now are a lot more similar

than what politicians and the media would have you believe.

As you are aware,

there is an investigation underway, led by the Turin DA

It's expected to shed some light on the events at Val di Susa.

Do you think this investigation will deliver justice?

I have no doubt the investigation will be conducted

in an open and transparent way and that it'll be efficient.

But the only thing that I'm interested in now is the truth.

I need to know.

As a mother, I must know that I did everything I could,

everything in my power because otherwise I'll feel guilty too.

I need to know that I never abandoned him.

Not before, not during and not after this tragedy.

When you bring a child into this world,

you can't imagine what it is they'll become when they grow up.

You can imagine their life after you're gone, sure,

but you can't imagine them frozen in time, like my son is now.

-Because losing a child-- -I'm ready!

I'm on the night shift tonight.

I eat dinner with Paola and I don't open the door to anyone

till you're back.

Do you want to stay over with your dad?

For real?

I'll call him and ask, okay?

You sure you don't want anything?

Mm-mm.

-I burned myself yesterday. -Hm.

Here.

I heard the news on TV.

How's Pietro doing?

He'll never walk again.

Oh, shit.

Listen, Giancarlo, this is

the documentation required for the disability retirement request.

Anna, applying for this kind of benefit isn't done through me.

You need to make an appointment for those requests.

Ah.

Can't you at least start it now?

-I made her wait in line for an hour. -No. It's a separate process entirely.

Don't worry about it, Giancarlo.

I'll make an appointment.

Sorry, I was the one who insisted on this with your father.

Fine, is it at least all in order? Social security number, ID?

-Yes, it's all here. -Let me take a look.

Okay.

All right.

Okay. I'll take it to my colleague

and see if he can start working on it today.

You know I could have walked.

I'm happy to drive you. It's fine.

Anyway, thanks, Ivano.

I know that wasn't easy for you.

How's everything with Pietro?

What can I say?

Took me ten years to decide to leave him.

When I finally do, look what happens.

You know, I'm 50 years old. And I can't believe there's nothing else.

That there's nothing else out there for him.

Other than the police force.

The work that poisons all of you and everyone you know.

It's here.

Emma. You can trust Francesca. I've known her my whole life.

Now, it's important that you tell her everything that happened. Okay?

-Hey, Francesca. -Michele, hi.

-Good morning. -Morning.

-My wife, Daniela. -Nice to meet you.

-Emma. -Hello Emma. I'm Francesca.

This is Giulia, she's our psychologist.

-Hello. Nice to meet you. -Pleasure.

All right.

Let's go.

Actually, it isn't standard for parents to be present.

Yeah, yeah, I know. But this isn't a domestic violence case.

I'm Emma's father, but I'm also a fellow officer.

That doesn't matter. It's protocol.

I'll be right outside if you need anything.

Wait for me downstairs.

-Goodbye, see ya. -Goodbye.

Bye, Emma.

All right, I'll assemble the case file and send it to the judge today.

But it'll take time, Michele.

You'll need to be patient,

which is a difficult thing for the families of victims.

What do you think?

Um… To me, the dynamics are quite clear.

They met, they liked each other.

She allowed a little intimacy but he wanted more.

Did she meet him at the party?

No.

Before that. She met him through her friend Anita.

Emma gave me his first and last name,

so as soon as the judge gives the go ahead, I'll start investigating.

What's the guy's name?

C'mon, you know me.

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT REPORT EMMA NOBILI

Hey, look who it is! Our little angel!

-Hi. -How are ya?

-Hi. -Coming with us?

-Where? -You wanna know?

We'll shield up, throw some punches and hit hooligans with batons.

What are you saying?

Is that yours?

-You wanna try it on? -Mm.

All right, let's see how it fits.

Okay, let me see.

Would you look at that.

Like a tiny Darth Vader.

What do we have here?

-Hi, Dad. -Hi, sweetie.

Hi.

-Nice to meet you. -Hey.

-Stefano. -Amerigo.

-I'm Agata's father. -I know.

She's got skating from 4 to 8 p.m. Don't be late to pick her up.

Make her dinner at 9 o'clock

and she needs to be in bed by 10, you got it?

Got it. Thank you, Marta.

You're welcome.

Her toothbrush, pajamas, everything's in there.

-I'll come and pick you up tomorrow, okay? -Mm-hm.

-See you. Ready? -Mm-hm.

-Bye, guys. -Bye, kiddo.

See you later, Vader.

-Hey. -Yeah.

Everything okay?

Fine.

SALVATORE: FUCKING HELL.

LENA: SEE YOU TONIGHT, POOKIE.

SALVATORE: DID YOU CHECK IN? ARE YOU AT THE AIRPORT?

SALVATORE: WHY ARE YOU READING AND NOT ANSWERING?

-Hey! -Hey.

Why aren't you ready to go yet?

I'm not working today. I asked if I could have the day off.

Why?

I got things to do.

Okay, things like what?

Lena's flying out here.

Oh.

Isn't that good?

-Aren't you happy? -Yeah.

When does she get in?

Her plane lands tonight.

She's done with her exams and she's coming to see me.

I booked a nice room at the Hilton. A restaurant.

I assume you also paid for her flight.

You know she's playing you, right?

What does that mean?

Did you ask someone to look into her?

-Look into her? -Mm.

What are you saying?

She's been stringing you along for what? Like six months now?

You sent her purses and jewelry, thousands of expensive gifts.

I mean did you even run her phone number or her name?

You're a police officer, Salvatore!

-You had the means to do it. -'Course I had someone run a check on her.

And?

And we're good.

You're way too trusting of others, Salvo.

People take advantage of you and fuck you over.

It happens again and again. You do this all the time.

What about you?

What the hell does this have to do with me?

When's the last time you got laid?

Huh?

How long since you been with a man who doesn't slap you around?

Go fuck yourself.

Hey.

I broke it down.

-Huh? -The door.

Oh.

Your daughter?

She was raped.

Hey, Eddie.

-How are ya? -Hey.

Evening.

Evening.

Evening.

What are you talking about?

At a birthday party by some piece of shit she already knew.

How is she?

She feels like shit. All of us do.

Dating sites are the way to go.

Not as many scammers or fake model types.

NO DUMP

It's about time, Marta. Now it's your turn to bust your ass.

Yeah, yeah.

Hi, guys.

Finally.

How's it going?

Fine.

Should stay calm around here until they reopen the dump.

Thanks for all your hard work. This is for you.

-Here. -Thank you.

You want a plate of food?

-It's good stuff. -No.

-Are you sure? -No, thanks.

We can't let the dump reopen here, you know?

If it were up to us.

But no one cares what we think.

-You have to take care of us all. -Thank you, ma'am.

You've nothing to worry about.

It actually looks like the court already ruled.

They rejected the appeal?

Our orders are to let them have a peaceful night.

They'll get the news tomorrow.

All right.

We're clocking out.

Let's go, Flores. Come on, everyone.

Panebianco, prepare to enter.

I'M COMING TO THE AIRPORT.

WHY ARE YOU READING AND NOT ANSWERING? ARE YOU THERE?

LENA, I'M HERE. WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

LENA, I'M HERE. WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

Hey, Riggio. It's Salvatore.

Lovato.

Yeah, sorry for calling so late. But I really need a favor.

If I give you a flight number,

would you be able to check the passenger list?

Appreciate it.

Okay. It's LX--

You got it?

Are you sure? Check again. Lena Cesani.

No, I'm here.

Everything's fine, don't worry.

No, I assure you everything is fine.

Thanks a lot and I'm sorry for bothering you.

It was helpful. I owe you one.

Bye.

Oh, wait a minute, are you still there?

If I send you a cell number, would you be able to look up the name

and the person's address?

-Hi. Pietro? -Hello.

-Coming! -Here he is.

I brought you this. It was dying at my place.

I don't get much sun. But you have tons of sunlight.

-Aw. --Maybe it'll pull through.

Thank you.

Let's go, Mazì. Manna's got to meet the prefect at 8 a.m.

-Let me help you. -I can handle this on my own!

-Bye. -Bye.

I don't know what the fuck I have to go all the way up there for.

They wanna see me or talk to me, they can do it in Rome.

The DA wants to take you to the location of the incident.

Why are you telling me all this?

Did they put you up to this to convince me?

No. No, I volunteered.

The sooner we close this chapter, the better for everyone.

Levi would like to go through the events again

and find the person responsible for the bomb that left you in this state.

Oh, come on. Everything was recorded on the bodycam I had on.

Isn't that enough for all of you?

And besides, I remember jack shit about that day.

Fura, you gotta work with me here.

The prosecutor won't let up until you go back to the site.

And how does he propose I get my ass up there?

In this wheelchair?

You ended up in a wheelchair.

In Turin, we've got a boy in a coma.

And if that kid doesn't make it, I'll be nothing but smiles.

-Look who it is! -It's boss!

I don't believe it!

-Didn't think I'd see you so soon! -What a vision.

-Look at you, boss! -Vision? Who am I, the Virgin Mary?

Someone told me they saw you at the station.

Manna just can't live without me. Must be love.

We don't want to live without you either.

Yeah, we missed you too!

Hey, let's at least let the guy breathe, huh?

-Looking good. -All right then.

-See you soon. -See ya.

-See you. -Bye now.

Let's go.

-Let me give you a hand-- -I can do it on my own!

Stubborn bastard.

Shit.

Don't ever bring me here again.

Why not?

I don't ever wanna come back to the station.

Don't you think there's more to life than the riot unit?

You've been spending too much time with my wife. You sound just like her.

You know I'd be dead without the riot unit.

Now let me go.

Mazì?

Yeah?

Verdict was just announced.

It's not good.

They gotta be cleared out after all.

-Go, go, go! -Go, go, move it, move it!

Roma 2, roll out! C'mon!

Hurry up! Let's go! Now!

Mazì? You good?

Let's clear this fuckin' place out.

Shields up!

All right, I need everybody to move!

Let's make room for the trucks to pass! Clear the area!

Go back to your homes now!

This is our home! We're not leaving, got it?

No!

My house is right here! We live here!

Whose side are you on? Whose side are you on?

You're a puppet, piece of shit.

Valenti!

Valenti, what the hell are you doing?

Hey, what the fuck, Mazì? Where're you going?

What the fuck did you do? You go and leave your squad without cover.

For fuck's sake, you're 60 years old.

You don't need me to explain this to you.

What kind of a fuckup cop are you?

I'm sick of the job, Nobili.

What do you want me to say?

Great, fine. You're sick of your job, go file for retirement.

But don't you dare abandon your squad!

Look! Look at them!

That's your squad.

But they only matter to you when you need them to cover your ass.

I know you.

And the truth is you don't give a shit about them!

Mazì.

What are you doing?

Where the hell were you? Hm?

I asked what you were doing.

You can't tell? What are you, blind?

I'm leaving, Salvatore.

What do you mean, leaving?

I don't wanna end up like Pietro.

I don't wanna die in this uniform.

You get it now, huh?

You can't leave now.

First Pietro and now you?

No, Mazì! You can't go!

If you leave, it's fucking finished. You can't walk away from this!

I don't wanna see you like this.

Hey.

Put on your seatbelt.

It will also be for him.

Franco is only one of the many victims of what happened there.

Honestly, I feel very close to the family of that officer, because

we're the only ones that truly…

What are you watching?

Um. A girl from my school doing a dance. Yeah, it got 2,000 views.

You know I could've stayed over with Dad again tonight.

Work was such a disaster, it wasn't up to me.

Anyway, how was it at… at skating today?

Did you get to do your jumps?

Hello?

I didn't go to my lesson.

Dad said if I didn't feel like it, I didn't have to.

Is that okay?

Momma?

That's fine.

I guess it runs in the family.

Staying at work way too late.

You and I aren't family.

We're not?

Yeah, you're right.

I was never at home.

Never there for you or your mother, using work as an excuse--

What are doing here?

I came to apologize.

Don't apologize to me.

You should've apologized to Mom.

Ten years ago.

Emma, we have a dishwasher.

No, I like doing it.

It helps me not to think.

Mom, Dad, do you still love me?

Of course, sweetheart.

Of course we love you, Emma.

I still love you guys too. But it's lot harder to show it now.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry it's so late, Anna.

Pietro?

He's asleep.

What's going on? Did something happen?

I quit the force. I'm done now. I wanted to tell you.

Do you think I made a mistake?

What do you want?

I brought you a gift.

Why are you giving it to me?

Because I wanna see what you do with it.

Show me how a real cop would act.

But whatever it is that you decide,

just remember what it means to do this job.

I don't think I have it in me.

I can't destroy a life over one bad call.

Those are two different things, Mazì.

You said it yourself.

I'm 60 years old.

I could make you a list of all the people I've failed.

Of all the bullshit I've ever done.

Everyone I've abandoned.

My family.

My wife and son.

I've failed in every way.

Can't do it anymore.

I'm tired.

Tomorrow I'm going on sick leave.

And after that I'll submit for retirement.
