OCTOPUS 2

EPISODE ONE

It was a vast plain.
The landscape was strange.

The house was strange too.
It was huge.

I was in this house
with only one room

and no windows or doors.

The smoke-stained walls
closed in on me.

And when I looked,
the walls turned into men.

I tried to run
and then I saw a window.

See? There was
a window, after all.

- Like in all dreams.
- It wasn't a dream.

I was on my bed
wide awake.

I couldn't wait
to tell you about it.

- Don't think about it now.
- Wait, I'm about to escape.

The window opens
and there's the sun,

but it's also night.

The window overlooks the sea,
so I jump to escape the men.

But I walk on the sand,
hidden by the waves,

like when you dive in.

I can't open my mouth to shout
or the water will drown me.

Now I'm here and it's all over.
Don't think about it.

I can't, Mum.
I keep seeing that dream.

How can I forget it?

Dad and I are here
to help you forget.

That's why were here.

Good morning,
I'm Ettore Ferretti.

So what do you want?

I didn't ask to meet
for personal reasons.

Why did you call me?

To check some notes
that concern you.

Shall we take a stroll?

Inspector Corrado Cattani,
38 years old.

Sent to investigate
a colleagues murder in Sicily,

finds the killer
is a mafioso called Cirinná

and has him arrested.

During the investigation,
he identifies

the brains behind
the local organised crime.

But just when the law
is about to take it's course,

he invalidates his investigation
by recanting everything

during a televised
public admission

of abuse of power, forgery,
and concealing evidence.

Cattani justifies his behaviour

by stating he was under duress

following his daughters
abduction.

She was tortured
and it seems, raped.

- Forgive the term...
- Yes, they raped her.

Cattani admits he gave in
to blackmail

and acted contrary to his duty
as a police official.

You can't imagine

how hard it was
to cover up their crimes.

I can imagine,

but you know how hard it is
to cancel what happened.

Cattani was summoned
by Judge Bordonaro

who's investigating the matter.

He's been suspended
and is under investigation.

He's living in Switzerland

close to his daughter,
whos in a neurology clinic

and to his estranged wife.

You came to tell me this?

I can explain, if you'll
give me a bit more of your time.

Do you know this man?
Sebastiano Cannito,

Head of Z Division
of the Secret Services.

Your one-time friend
and protector.

Is that still the case?

I still don't understand
what you want.

You will.

This is Prof. Laudeo.
You know him?

Yes. I met him in Sicily.

He's the secretary
of a strange organisation

called Itala.

An organisation for the study
of Italic popular traditions.

- A nice facade.
- Yes, he asked me to join.

I'm sure Sebastiano Cannito
belongs to this organisation.

And maybe politicians,
newspaper editors,

important bureaucrats,
businessmen, bankers...

- Do you have the evidence?
- No, or I wouldn't be here.

I'm just drawing my conclusions
from recent events.

Cover ups,

appointments that are puzzling,

murky business deals,
arms trafficking...

And every time,
right next to a politician,

a banker or a judge,

you'll always find
the names of Cannito

and Laudeo
and his organisation.

Maybe it's a kind of
mutual assistance.

No, they're
wheeler-dealers, traffickers...

Unscrupulous brokers.

But the point is...

do these people operate
only for their private interests

or do they have wider
political connections?

Do they just want
financial power

or are they trying to create

a network of covert power

that is trying to overthrow
the institutions?

You still haven't told me
what it is you want from me.

I'll have the case
against you closed

and have you reinstated.

We're starting with a breach.

Cattani, the stakes
are very high.

If I'm right,

its about saving
the countrys institutions.

We'll work together,
in secret.

- Why did you think of me?
- Why? Because you're honest.

Loyal, intelligent

and tenacious.

And because you were
Cannitos friend

and that he may feel
remorse towards you

just as you
may be bitter towards him.

Brutal, but clear.

What's your relationship
with Cannito?

I'm his deputy.

I get it.
The usual internal battles.

Power struggles, rivalries.

Not for the reasons you think.

It's not my concern.
I have my daughter to look after.

I'm only interested
in Paolas welfare.

I understand.

You've disappointed me.

I didn't expect you to refuse.

- Reconsider.
- No chance of that.

I have scores to settle as a man,
not as a policeman.

Goodbye.

Yes, we could go to Paris,
then to Brittany.

We can stay with my cousins.
The sea is different there.

Paola, remember the beach
that disappears?

When the tide goes out
there are crabs everywhere.

I know,
I've seen them.

- We don't have to go.
- We'll do whatever you like.

When can I live with you again?

You already are.
Mums here and I'm in Geneva.

I mean when am I getting out.

I'd let you out tomorrow.
That's all I want.

It would be lovely
to all be back together.

Yes, I know,
its up to the doctors.

What did that man who
insisted on seeing you want?

To get me back in.

What did you say?

I told him I'm not interested.

We have the evidence.
I don't have any doubts.

Neither do I.

Call me before you leave.

I might be able
to get you an escort.

My colleagues will die of envy.

Let's make sure everyone knows
someones watching your back.

Thank you, Inspector.
Goodbye.

Judge.

Who asked you to keep
Cattanis child in your home?

Judge Bordonaro,
I didn't know them!

So you kept a child
prisoner in your home

without knowing
who the favour was for?

Do you think the court
will believe you?

Manrocco, we also have
evidence that they paid you.

If you talk, I can get you
mitigating circumstances.

I am talking! What more
do you want to know?

I've been telling you
for 4 hours, Judge.

Three men came and said
they needed the barn.

I don't keep animals
in it anymore.

I didn't even see the child.
Would I ask for their names?

You could see
they meant business.

Could I refuse?

Under duress, Judge.

You'd never seen them before,

so why would they
choose you, Manrocco?

Can you tell me why?

Would they abduct a child before
knowing where they'd hide her?

Where did your wife and mother
get the money to buy the shop?

You'd better talk, Manrocco.

You keep asking
the same questions, sir.

Aren't you tired?

I am, and you can kill me,
but I'm going to sleep now.

Nothing...
Manrocco won't talk.

I tried everything
when I questioned him,

but he's too afraid.

All we have
is Cattanis testimony.

And hes under
investigation, poor man.

If we want to get anywhere
we must spread panic.

What if I leak that
Manrocco has talked?

It's a dangerous game.
They'll kill him in 24 hours.

I'd keep him in solitary
under 24 hour watch.

Inspector Cattani
used to say a great truth.

We policemen are like
fishermen casting a net.

But when you haul it in,

you might find a mine
caught in it.

What would you do
in my shoes?

I'd resume the bank audits
with the Finance Police

then I'd order phone taps

on Solicitor Terrasinis phones

and on those
of his friend Ravanusa.

In short, I'd look for
more concrete evidence.

That'll take years

and we'll lose both
the evidence and the witnesses.

No, we don't have the time.

- Your coffee, Judge.
- Thank you, Madam.

- Sugar?
- Thank you.

- Are you taking her out?
- Yes, she can come with me.

- Dad, you said we'd go boating.
- I know, but I can't.

- Next Sunday.
- Dads busy.

Sorry to commandeer
your husband again.

Don't worry, sir,
I'm used to it. Goodbye.

Bye, Dad.

Now you'll worry
till they get back.

Yes, after the abduction
of Cattanis daughter

I'm not at ease.

They won't stop at anything.

But we must try to live
as normally as possible.

The inquiry into
Cattanis daughters abduction

is going very well.

Can you trace
who ordered it?

I can confirm the child
was held at Manroccos home.

- We've established that.
- In what way?

- I'm afraid thats sub judice.
- Will there be more arrests?

We're counting on
the cooperation of the accused.

So the rumours were correct.
Manrocco is talking.

Everything will be clear
in the indictment.

One more question. Will you
interview Inspector Cattani?

I'm afraid I can't say more.
Goodbye.

Manrocco has started to
cooperate with the law.

So why are you telling me?

I think it might interest you.

You're on the wrong track,
Judge...

A wrong and dangerous track.

Are you threatening me,
Terrasini?

Far be it from me!

As a legal man
I know the law.

Besides, I'm so relaxed,
I don't have a lawyer with me.

What have you to say
about Paola Cattanis abduction?

Nothing.

Inspector Cattani formally
accuses you of financing

a large drug ring.

Yes, I'm supposed to have
a bank account

with the name of a flower.

May I get up, sir?

But the Inspector retracted
everything at the time.

Under pressure from
his daughters abductors.

That's of even greater concern.

An inspector
who can't assess risks

and behaves more like a father.

That's dangerous
for our institutions.

No, he lost his head
among the smell of oranges

and his passion for
Titti Pecci Scialoia, remember?

So why did he come back
to accuse you?

Obviously so he could
look at himself in the mirror.

Unless he can persuade himself

that someone is responsible,
that there's a persecutor,

how can he live with the idea
he didn't protect his child

and that he made many mistakes
and lost his head?

No, believe me,
he's driven by remorse.

Whoever ordered the abduction
and those deaths

should feel remorse.

You're right, sir.

And it's up to you
to find him.

I'm sorry to inconvenience you,
Countess. Take a seat.

I need a small clarification.

If I can be of assistance...

A shop in the building
you built in Via Mercati,

identified by
the number 14...

- Yes, my company built it.
- That's right.

We know that shop was sold
to Lucia Manrocco,

whose husband is in jail

accused of holding
prisoner in his home

the daughter of
Inspector Cattani.

I can get my sales office
to do a search.

What exactly
do you want to know?

The method of payment.
How the property was bought.

I can tell you that right away.

Two thirds of the price
with a bank loan.

And one third at settlement,
usually with a bank cheque.

My accountant has the details

so you can trace the bank
that issued it.

I bet it's Ravanusas bank.

It could be.

Inspector Cattani
ordered an audit of your bank.

And inconvenienced
my customers.

So Inspector Cattani
made an enemy of you.

What nonsense. I never
saw him as an enemy.

He was a man
of no consequence.

- What do you mean by that?
- Exactly what the words say.

What exactly
do you want from me?

Don't get excited.
Settle down.

I simply want
answers to my questions.

- We can take our time.
- I can't.

I'm a busy man. I can't
spend my days in your office.

I'll be the judge of that,
if you don't mind.

There are more important
people than you, in Italy.

I know. But you still
have to tell me whether

the Fiordaliso
and Jasmine accounts

belonged to you and Terrasini.

You're subjecting my client
to undue psychological pressure.

I'll stop if your client tells me
who the accounts belonged to.

I don't recall.

How can you forget the names
of your main customers?

Billions went through
those accounts.

I don't check on my customers.

Not even those customers
who wrote the cheque

with which the Manroccos
bought the shop?

What are you saying?

That money went through
your clients bank.

Manrocco isn't just
the owner of the house

where Paola Cattani was held.

He might also be
a precious witness.

Be specific, Judge.

What did this Manrocco
fellow say?

He's a man who knows a lot.

He's a jailbird,
isn't that right?

But there is
a perfect correlation

between the events
were looking into

and Inspector Cattanis
allegations.

Cattani retracted
on a TV program.

But now
hes confirmed everything.

You believe
a man full of hate

whose daughter was
abducted and raped?

Who told you
the child was raped?

- Everyone knows.
- No one does.

- And neither should you.
- What do you mean?

- Who ordered the abduction?
- I'm not involved.

- But you knew it was ordered.
- No.

That child was raped
and you knew it.

You knew about the abduction.
Who ordered it?

- I don't know.
- Terrasini?

I know nothing. I just
repeat what people say.

I know nothing...
nothing.

Very well...

As you wish.

But I have enough evidence
to have you arrested

for conspiracy.

I can accuse you of organising
Paola Cattanis abduction.

What evidence can you
bring against Mr Ravanusa?

You'll read it
in the arrest warrant...

Sir...

When I sign it.

May we suspend the interview
for a moment, Judge Bordonaro?

We're all a bit tired.

Let's have a chat...

a more friendly one.

Barduzzo, we'll take
a short break.

Go and have a coffee.

So, shall we have
that friendly chat?

Let's start from before
Paola Cattanis abduction.

There are plenty of things
I'd like to clarify.

According to me, this is
the most important proposal

we've had
in the last few years.

Our friend Frank Carrisi
and his American group

want to invest
over 300 million dollars

in strategically important
electronic equipment.

You'll appreciate
the implications

of such an operation

and the details of the project
are at your disposal.

A good idea, but how
would we proceed financially?

The money will come from
the U.S. via a bank we can trust.

We must tread carefully.

It isn't easy to bring in
such an amount.

We must try to keep
a low profile.

Mr Ravanusa could have
clarified things.

- Why isn't he here?
- He's very tired.

He had a long interview
with Judge Bordonaro

from which
he emerged exhausted.

We can believe Ravanusa.

I never considered him important.

Sure, he's a wheeler
dealer through his bank,

but he doesn't decide,
organise, or give orders.

He isn't as important
as Terrasini.

Terrasini is at
a different level.

Ravanusa says
he's the link between

some of the largest financiers
who control everything...

Building companies, tenders,
transport, car dealerships.

They're in the wine industry,
but also in the drug trade.

Ravanusa was explicit.

When he got to contacts with
government, he didn't hold back.

He gave a name
that's very important.

You know who I mean.

Sir, when contacts are named,
the situation gets red hot.

What should I do?
Skirt around them?

No, but you must
cover yourself somehow.

I'd rather attack
at the highest level.

Yes?

Judge Bordonaro?
Who is he?

Where's he calling from?
Very well, put him through.

Good morning, Judge.
What can I do for you?

I need to see you confidentially.
It's urgent.

- What's it about?
- The Cattani case. Remember?

Yes, but if you could
tell me why...

It's a delicate matter.

We must act right away but
I'd rather discuss it face to face.

- Could you come to Rome?
- I can leave right away.

Very well...

Thursday at 5pm.
I'll expect you then.

Excuse me, Judge...

- Have we met before?
- No.

I'll be there on Thursday
at 5pm. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- There's a call from Italy.
- Put it through.

Cattani, it's Judge Bordonaro.

I have new evidence.
I questioned Ravanusa.

I'm going to Rome
to see Cannito.

- Ravanusa named Cannito?
- Yes.

Cancel that appointment.
Yes, make up an excuse.

- Cancel that appointment.
- Why?

I can't talk over the phone.

I'll come to Rome
so we can discuss it.

But you mustn't meet Cannito

and don't confide in anyone
before you talk to me.

Let's meet on Thursday
at about 5.30

at the Rome North
toll booth, okay?

Your medication, Paola.

I hear you slept well.

Yes, very well.

- Must I keep drinking this?
- Just a while longer, Paola.

No, it doesn't matter.
Don't worry.

I won't take it anymore.

And you, hurry back.

Last time you left
I was always tired.

But I could never get to sleep.

This time you won't even
notice I'm gone.

Paola, come now.

Don't ever leave us, Dad.
Please.

Why would I?

You're the dearest thing
in the world to me.

Yes.

Thank you.

That was my secretary.

I must say, it's strange.

Very strange.

- You know Judge Bordonaro?
- Not personally.

He asked to see me on
Thursday as a matter of urgency

and now my office tells me
hes cancelled.

I don't understand.
Would you know?

I know
what hes looking into.

It's that old matter
Cattani was involved in.

Yes, an ugly matter...

It's threatening to find
its way here from Sicily.

Now don't worry, sir.

I'll go down to Sicily
to see Terrasini.

That's why I thought
it was worth flying down

to tell you directly.

Thank you.

I find it rather unusual.
How do you feel about it?

I have a bad feeling.

Particularly because the Judge
has decided to leave.

He cancelled his appointment
with Mr Cannito...

- But he didn't cancel his flight.
- Then it's worse than I thought.

That's possible.

However, if Bordonaro
has discovered something,

we'll make him
keep it to himself.

- And your American friend?
- Mr Carrisi will be here soon.

We have found our agreement
here in Sicily.

Things will go well in Rome too.

I guarantee
our organisations support

and the support of Mr Cannito,
who is critical to the deal.

That's what I think too.

So it's best not to have
any complications

caused by a small town prosecutor.

What else can I do
for you gentlemen?

Anything special
youd like, sir?

I appreciate the offer,
but a coffee will do.

You've influenced me.
I've taken some precautions.

Here's a photocopy of
Ravanusas interview.

- Where's the original?
- I'm taking it to Rome.

Goodbye.

Good morning.

He's just gone past.

Go ahead and smoke, sir,
if you must.

Thanks. I couldn't smoke
on the plane. Want one?

No, thanks.
Luckily, I kicked the habit.

It's so expensive!

How far to
the Rome North toll booth?

It'll take 45 minutes
on the ring road.

I have to be there by 5pm.

It's 3.30.
We'll have time for coffee!

Can you wait to
take me back to Rome?

If you don't take too long.
I knock off at 8.

Damn you!

You bastard...

Your change.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

I'm a police inspector.

Whats going on?

They've killed a judge
4 kilometres from here.

- When?
- Half an hour ago.

Here, Inspector.

- Can I go through?
- Certainly.

But if you're going to town
its not worth your while.

- You'll get held up.
- That's okay.

Let him through.

The Judge arrived from
Palermo on the 3.30 flight.

- Was he carrying anything?
- We found nothing in the car.

It's very strange.
He was to go into town

but he came onto
the motorway instead.

- It would help to know why.
- Yes, of course.

He was meeting you,
wasn't he?

I knew when I saw you arrive.

I've been watching you.

There's some other news
you won't have heard.

I'm afraid it will
bring you more sorrow.

Altero was killed in
an ambush in Sicily today.

They got too close
to the fire.

And they burn't them
straight away.

Who did they get close to?

Cattani, why were you meeting
Bordonaro here?

Won't you help me even now
Altero and Bordonaro are dead?

No.
And you know why?

Because they were
the last friends I had.

You're all the same.

I'm not interested in
your dirty power games.

I just want to save my daughter.
She's all I care about.

Not true.
You left her to meet Bordonaro.

Yes, I knew he was in danger
but I got here too late.

There's nothing more to say.

You've got it all wrong.

I won't have anything
to do with you lot.

- I hope we meet again.
- I doubt it.

- When does she finish?
- In 15 minutes.

Shall we go?

- What now?
- I'll stay here.

But how will we tackle our
problems when Paolas better?

Do you think we'll have to?

Perhaps it won't be necessary.

If we...

Should we get back together?

Yes. I believe only you and I
can save her. It's her only hope.

Are you sure?
We can't keep deceiving her.

Yes, if we want to save her.

Let's hold hands.

I had great fun.

Mum and Dad promised
to be with me always.

They love each other
and I love them too.

And I'll go back to school

but it'll depend where Dads
next posting will be.

That's his job.
He always changes towns.

I don't like
changing house much.

But sometimes I do.

We must keep loving
and respecting each other

as a separated couple.

So Paola will keep believing
she has a happy home

with Mum and Dad
who love each other.

I'm not buying that blackmail.
It's over!

You need to accept that

or it'll be hell for you,
for me and for Paola.

It's over for good. Well never
have a home together.

Our marriage is over.

Oh, my God!

I'm ruining your lives.

You don't love me anymore.
You can't wait to leave.

That's not true, darling.

I'm just a problem for you.
Go away!

I don't want to leave.
I want to be with you forever.

I swear.

Paola, please don't do this.

We'll get back together.
We must accept what were told.

But Paola refuses to talk.
She hasn't spoken for 8 days.

- She refuses to talk.
- But she'll listen to us.

She needs our love.

You still won't talk?

How about a walk?
Won't you go out?

You can do
whatever you like.

Mum wants to know
if youd like to see her,

either alone,
or with your father.

Theyre getting back together.

Your mother told me so.

And they'll stay
together forever.

Won't you see them?

Please accept my condolences.

She was a child.

An innocent child.

I feel for you, believe me.

- I'll go with you.
- No, we already decided.

Paola will stay with me.

I can't leave Paola like this.

Please go. I don't want
to see you again.

- Why must you attack me?
- You got what you wanted.

Now she isn't here to force you
to be with me.

Leave me in peace.

I'll be with her.
I'll ask her to forgive us.
