All language subtitles for The.Great.Kidnapping.1973.

Don't turn around Miss Boletti!

You have the money?

Yes.

All of the 10 million Notes are used?

Yes.

Good.

You didn't inform the police of course?

No.

Bravo.

Your son is all right.

He will be released within
24 hours released.

There he is. That's Boletti.

Tell me, how many were there?

How are you Mister Boletti?

Let us through.

Let us pass.
Just one statement please.

Excuse me, let us through.

How much did the father pay?

Why don't you talk to us?

Stop it now.

Come on, talk to us.

Please let us go.

There you are. How are you?

You see he is doing well.

You'll find out all about that tomorrow.

We will hold a press conference.

Excuse me, Mr. Boletti.
I'm sure you want to rest.

I am very tired but otherwise I am fine.

Inspector, why don't you let us see him?

We only want to report.

Get out of the way, now.

Go on.

Commissioner, are you making a statement?

Talk to him, he is in charge.

Ah well, what will the police do now?

This is not the first kidnapping
and not the last.

What do you mean? There is no reason
for for the criminals to stop.

There are many rich people with children

and they will take advantage of that.

Maybe the punishment
is not strong enough.

That is not part of my job to play judge.

But first we must catch the culprits.
before that, our hands are tied.

We were only allowed to intervene
after the ransom was paid.

The police should stay out of it and
that's exactly what we did.

They say you are no longer part
of the Police Commission?

In fact, I have just just resigned.

Go, go.

To the station, as quickly as possible.

Where is the car?

I don't know.

Ah, there he is.

There you are.

Sorry for the delay.
Traffic, right?

Headquarter 1, Headquarter 1,
please Commissioner Danoni.

Danoni here, go ahead.

A woman's body was found.

Where?

Country Road 12.

Has the prosecutor been notified?
Yes, he is already there.

Very good, we are on our way.

We'll be right there.

If you want, I can drive you
to the hotel beforehand.

No thanks, that's fine.

For us it's pure routine apart
from the rivalry with the prosecutor.

That's how it is in the province.

And Kidnappings?

A bad situation at the moment.

What?

Kidnapping.

You mean Raids?

In the last kidnapping of Boletti
400,000 million liras were paid.

Aha.

What is being done now?

The best thing is for the prefect to tell you
himself. I'll be happy to drive you there.

OK, thanks.

Car 1, please come.

Yes?

Commissioner, the woman has
been identified.

It is the woman who was discharged
from the hospital today.

I see.

They identified the woman.

Who was she?

A Prostitute.

Come on, please.
Good.

The body can be taken away.
Okay.

I want the report now.

Stop here.

Commissioner, the pimp Pinaccio
was seen.

Has he been caught?
Nobody knows where he is.

Are you now convinced that the pimp
is the possible perpetrator?

Don't you understand I need proof?

I guess there is, a body, a gun...
and a motive - isn't that enough?

Everything you need. Pinaccio
was arrested last week.

He had hit and injured the woman.
At the hospital she said she had fallen.

The hospital report says she
was injured in an accident.

She didn't report him,
I can't have him arrested.

There is no proof.

Now the proof is here.

Yes? Your call from Rome.
I was expecting it.

Hello Massimo, how are you?

- Hi Dad!
- I was at the station.

Have you been too busy?

Sorry I was late.
Have you arrested anyone yet?

Sometimes I really worry about you.

Why don't you move in with your aunt?
You'll be in good hands.

I don't know yet how long I will stay.

Understand?

You're the new chief inspector.
Don't be so stupid.

Is Catalana here yet?

No, not yet.
But he should be here soon.

If you need anything do not hesitate
to call him.

At the moment I am still in a hotel so
no real address yet.

Don't make trouble, you hear!
It's all right.

Ciao Papa.
Ciao Massimo.

Good evening.

This is the new chief inspector.

Today, everyone has the same problems.

You pay more taxes than the others,
much more than the others.

You have to imagine it.

Zanonni, how's your department?

All good.

Ah, there is Commissioner Jovine,
until recently your predecessor.

Good evening.

He lives now in Milano.

He is a good friend and we chat often.

But please excuse me,

I also have to take care of the
other guests. Excuse my routine.

The routine, of course.

I think that's what they say,
see you later.

Do you want anything?
No thanks, I don't drink.

That is good.

I've been told many times that
you are the man they need here.

I'm already too old for that.

Everything seems normal here
but actually the situation is very bad.

Very bad, and in my opinion
it is getting worse and worse.

That is also the reason why I stopped.

With all these new laws, the
criminals have many advantages,

It's very unfair, they don't care enough
about the safety of the population.

99% of those arrested have a criminal
record, they're playing with the law.

Quite paradoxical,

it is rather the criminals
who are protected.

Now these Kidnappings.

Yes, I know. What is expected of me?

You are expected to
prove and assert yourself.

You are needed.

Or someone like you.

I am available at all times.

I am their natural ally.

Of course. It's better to have him
as a friend than as an enemy.

Excuse me, could I speak to
you alone, please?

Excuse me. Look around, many
important people present.

Good advice, be friendly.

Nice to meet you.
Likewise.

You better talk to Zanonni.

What's up? Excuse me, sir.
The gentleman would like to talk to you.

Perhaps you will listen to me.

I applied for a gun licence
and this gentleman

refuses because of my criminal record.

Here is the criminal record.

I'm clean.
Clean, yes?

Two entries for armed robbery.

No criminal record.

Because there was not enough
evidence both cases were dropped.

That means I'm clean.

Do you have to walk around
with a gun all the time?

I need that for home.

Zanonni, I need to talk to
you for a moment.

Reinforcement from Rome?

Who's handling the current kidnapping
with the Boletti boy?

No one at the moment, that was over six
months ago and has therefore been shelved.

On file?

We had to. We were no longer allowed
to investigate, the ransom was

paid and the boy was released home.

And?

Nobody knew who the kidnappers
were, you know?

Sure, and now they're enjoying the ransom.
Do I understand that correctly?

Well, there was nothing that...
Excuse me.

Hey Marcella you look great.
Will you go out with me tonight?

This is Boletti's son who was
kidnapped with his girlfriend.

Who are the others?

They all live with their fathers.

They have more money in their pockets
than we earn in a month.

They always come here.

If someone is missing only
because he is still in bed.

Do you see those two over there?

One is the nephew of
a politician, a fascist.

The other one with the white jacket is
the son of a city councillor.

An important councillor.

That's Roberto Riccardi
coming out of the bar.

He has no worries, his father is
in the electrical business.

The father brings the money home

and the son spends it.

And the girl?
Laura Ponti.

She owns the shop and apparently
business is very good.

She understands how the business
works.

Car 1, Car 1, come in.

Connecting.

I'm listening. Robbery with hostage-taking
in a bank. I see, we're coming.

Inform all cars, we'll see you there.

Go.

Face the wall and put your hands up.
This woman is sick.

I don't care. You will parry, or else...
there will be consequences.

Shut your mouths or you'll be in deep shit.

I saw them, there are two of them,
they're wearing masks and they're armed.

One of them stayed in the car and when
I shouted, he drove away.

Someone shouted, they were
already in the bank.

Can you describe the perpetrators?

Yes, yes, I certainly can.
Please come with me to the police station.

Are they armed?

The woman who saw everything said
that they are armed with guns.

Take the people away.

Back, back.

Has anyone informed the public prosecutor?

He is coming.
Good.

Make sure there are only
police cars are parked here.

How many are inside? Only a few.
The bank wanted to close.

Ah.

Good, the most important one is also there.

Have all telephones turned off
and switch off the power.

Also talk to the doorman of the house.

We have to control everything here,
no one must die.

Good, Commissioner.

Back, get these people out of here, back.

One of the perpetrators was recognised
by the witness when she screamed.

Give it to me, please.

The suspect's name is Scalpelli Romeo,
19 years old.

Get out of here, go back, there's nothing
to see, go away.

Inspector, the witness recognised
one of the perpetrators,

Scalpelli Romeo, 19, he's got a couple
of precords... and could be dangerous.

Good, tell that to Commissary
Zanonni, tell him to come here.

Hurry up, we don't have much time.

Let's go, let's go, do what
I told you.

Back, all of you, quickly.

Come on, help them.

Come here, what's going on?

I'm the manager, they have two men
and a girl hostage.

They want to take a car and
the hostages with them.

If the police don't leave they
kill all three of them.

And they said if no one followed them
they will release the hostages.

I see. Escort the woman to safety.

Where's Zanonni? Leave me alone
and clear this place out, now.

Back. Back.

Attention.

This is the Chief Commissioner.

I have heard your demands

and I cannot accept them.

You are recognised

and right back in prison.

Release the hostages, lay down your
weapons. clasp your hands over your head.

Now.

What does the commissioner think
we will answer him?

Scream.
Scream.

I've heard about the demands
of the gangsters.

In order not to endanger the hostages...
we will have to assume

What guarantee do you have, their
word of honour?

The longer we stay here and
negotiate with them,

the more important they feel and
and lose their respect.

I consider the situation
too dangerous.

Besides, I have the authority.

My authority.

Would you be satisfied if
I take responsibility?

No, that is not the point.

We have to protect the life of the hostage.

That is important for me.

Commissioner. Zanonni is back
with the suspect.

Give me half an hour.

It may be the wrong man.

So

Everything looks easy. A good deal.

Want to make a lot of money here.

It's a pity you'll be behind
bars for many years.

But there is a difference between
a robbery and a murder.

Do you want to hear the
difference in years?

I didn't kill anyone and you know it.

I know, but your friends are threatening.

Should something happen to
one of the hostages, you...

are then also responsible for it.

You'd better tell them that inside.

You already know that.

I hope I can.

Tell me who they are.

Attention!

Mario Impelitteri da Rovereto.
Carlo Carucci di Vicenca.

I now know who you are.
Your friend has spoken.

Even if we let you go
we'll get you later.

Now you decide.

Don't shoot.
Don't shoot, we surrender.

The prosecutor is waiting for you.

Commissioner, is it true that one of the
suspects was in court 10 days ago for robbery?

Wasn't the man released
by the the public prosecutor?

Right.

Commissioner, tomorrow they will
talk about the robbery and criticise you.

What do you say to your critics?

But it turned out well.

Have you not risked too much?

You also have to take a risk.

Under no circumstances should
you give in to gangsters.

If you give in to these gangsters
it will never stop.

Very well, have a nice day.
Good day.

That was quite clever.

Please come in.

Only takes a minute.

So Cardone,

You did a good job with the
journalists.

I am very happy about that.

I could suggest how you could do better.

Remember,
I have the power and authority to stop you.

Then why didn't you do it at the
Bank today?

Because I don't want to embarrass you
in public.

Commissioner, we are on the same team,
don't forget that.

But in different positions.
Different but not opponents.

You should not use the same methods
as the criminals, which you did today.

What are you trying to say?

You create your own kind of justice like an
organisation that somehow

acts brutal. Sometimes that works.

But I believe in legality and
that is a principle of mine.

Do not challenge me to prove it.

We'll talk later.

If you add the 400,000 million
Lire for Boletti,

it is one billion

in just under a year.

It looks like

these kidnappers are at least very well
organised.

Looks like they need the money
for an investment.

A common criminal disappears
to the Bahamas with the money.

These people are very well informed,
deceptively well.

And they have no intentions to stop.

What's the matter, are you tired?

The motorway was endless.

Where are you staying tonight?
In a guest house.

I think we should both find something
permanent. I'm in a hotel and I don't like it.

We can also share a house together.

That'd be something, ha. Come on, let's go.

Are they cops?
You can tell.

A few days ago I saw Massimo

he passed his exams.
Yes, I know.

What are his plans?

He said he wanted to go
to the beach with friends.

Before he left, he sent his greetings.

Sometimes I think it would have
been better to get married again.

There's still time to do that.
Oh, I don't know.

Ah yes,

Here is an interesting list that

I got from the bank.
Who is that?

These are potential kidnap victims.

Each of them has a full bank account.

Please check them all, one by one.

Their lives, deaths, miracles
all kinds of things.

Follow every track.

Keep a low profile in the commissariat.

Let's go, I'll bring them to you.

Good morning, Commissioner Cardone.

Mrs Boletti? Already in the office
with her lawyer.

Commissioner.
Good morning.

Thank you for coming.

Good Morning.

Mrs Boletti informed me, that's why
I wanted to accompany her.

That's very kind of you but
not necessary. No problem.

I am informed about what
what happened at the bank.

If all hostage situations were solved
in this way then we would have peace.

Please, sit down.
Please.

I'm sorry I had to invite you,

but I have a few questions.

What questions? About the kidnapping
of your son.

Andreas is not my son.
I married his father.

Excuse me, Commissioner, Mrs Boletti

has already testified about the kidnapping,
there's nothing more to say.

Yes, yes, I see, but that's not a
really a statement.

400,000 million is not a small amount of
money, I'm sure you'll agree, counsellor.

Excuse me madam, why were
you chosen to hand over the ransom?

The kidnappers demanded this.

How did the handover go?

A meeting point was agreed

and I went there with the money and
later Andrea was released.

Of course you didn't see the
kidnapper's face at the handover?

No, it was dark.

I was in the car and I had the money
in a bag with me,

the man opened and took the bag.

Can you tell me who might have something
against your husband?

A disgruntled employee or a competitor?
That can't be.

I'm sure Boletti
would have mentioned that.

He didn't mention it at all, not to me,
not to the police. Yes, that's right.

Good, then I have no more questions.

Thank you for coming Madame

and if you think of anything else...

Certainly,

but I thought it was done with this?
Unfortunately, it's not done.

It is my duty to catch the kidnappers

even if it looks like you're not
interested in it.

I was interested in Andrea
be released.

I didn't care about anything else.

Goodbye, madam.
Superintendent. Counsellor.

Yes? Commissioner Cardone, the
Chief of Police wants to see you.

Yes, put him through.

Is that you, Cardone?
Good morning, Your Excellency.

I tried to reach you in the morning.

I just wanted to congratulate you
on the hostage situation.

Thank you. I was told Mrs. Boletti
will come to you?

Yes, she just left.

But Cardone, this is not good publicity
for our police questioning her.

Sorry, President, but it's not good
publicity when the gangsters get away.

Yes, yes, but 6 months have passed,
the case is closed and done.

Keep me informed, please,
Cardone. I will. Goodbye.

I have decided to reopen the last
kidnapping cases again.

The Boletti case for example, the
report consisted from a single sheet.

And that's why you came to Milan?

What do you expect?

A new clue?

Be happy that you have something.

Have you been told what to do?

On a single sheet of paper it says what the
police is allowed to do and what not.

The payment of 400,000 million,
who collected the money,

who delivered the money
and in what time. Thank you.

What else should I have written?
That the boy can't remember anything?

That the woman was in shock?

That it was cold?

But it seems odd that she didn't
do anything before, or after.

You mean like you did at the bank?
What if they had shot?

Cardone, three kidnappings in a row.

I still say, don't play
with the lives of hostages.

Of course life is precious.

But where do you draw the line?

Listen Jovine, have you never
considered going behind the

kidnappings that there is a
motive or an organisation?

What I mean is that they
were not ordinary criminals but

People with a political motive,
planning arms purchases or bombings,

on trains, perhaps,

Weapons cost a lot, like politicians
they need money, all the time.

Politicians, ha.

It is always about politics.

When there is no answer

Politics. I see, and now?

Should the police monitor 10 million
Communists?

Or the 3 million fascists?

Or half a million priests?

There they are.

Good morning. You're here at last.
Good morning.

This car was here empty and
blocking the road.

We found it like this and didn't
touch anything. Good, good.

Please come here.

That looks like a crime.

You have to move the car.
We can't get through here.

It is a Triumph, TR6.

TR6, Milan

Milan 8..., Wait a minute, what was
the number?

Milan 8089

registered on Ricardi Alberto
Via Vascini 47.

Vascini 47. Stay with the car.
I'm going there.

Yes, okay.

The Ricardi housekeeper told me
that son Alberto left around 8.

Maybe that doesn't mean anything either.

It goes on Catalano.

There is a new kidnapping, now
it has hit the Ricardi family.

I see.

He has nothing but money.

You have done that very well.

We have to react immediately,
I want there to be roadblocks...

and the family must be monitored,
Telephone etc. good.

Ricardi wanted to meet a girl.
From the bar, remember?

Ah exactly, who runs the place.

I want to see you, bring you here.

Is there a Mrs Laura Ponti here?

That's me.
What's up?

Thank you, Commissioner. If you need
anything I am always at your disposal.

I will remember that.

Zanonni please come.
I'll be right there, Commissioner.

Hello!
Hello.

Commissioner? Tell me, what's the
name of the guy who was just here?

Vergano. He got a gun licence.

Why did he get one?

Well, he is talking to us,

he is very useful, he gives us tips,

he's an informant,

minor crimes, robbery, car thefts

even the president's secretary
knows about it.

That's why he got it.
Yes. Please?

Commissioner, the woman...
Yes, yes, come in.

Please, sit down.

Come on, don't be afraid.
You're Laura Ponti? Yes.

You know an Alberto Riccardi?
Yes, what about him?

When did you last see him?

Yesterday in my bar.
Didn't you want to go out with him?

He said he would come but he didn't.

Alberto Ricardi has disappeared.

His car was found abandoned.

You don't know what
could have happened to him?

No, I don't know.

I waited for him in the bar
and thought he'd forgotten about it.

Well, that was all for the moment.
Maybe there will be more questions later.

Thanks.

How's it going?
I think I got it.

Hello? Hello?

Listen Ricardi.

Switch to the control centre.
You don't have not to worry about your son.

How is he? Can I talk to him?

No. Do what I tell you.

If you want to see him again
keep the police out of it.

We want 400,000 lire in
used notes in 10,000 packets.

We will inform you when and where
the money will be handed over.

I repeat'. no Police.

If you follow our instructions
you will see your son again.

All right, I see.

Situation report.
Magenta 16. Magenta 16.

The two cars are just passing us.
We follow and wait for instructions.

The lawyer just drove off.

Well, go to sleep you had...
No, that's all right.

But my son is in Germany.

I have no reason to be worried.

In Germany? Why?

Because of a contract signing.

I have a partner there. In Munich.

Mr Ricardi, your son has disappeared.

We found his abandoned car.

He probably lent the car to someone.

He had a date with a girl
and never showed up.

Maybe he forgot about it.

A few minutes ago your
lawyer Samperi left you.

He represents my interests.

That's how we see each
other again and again.

That's really none of your business.

What is my son to you?

Everything you do interests me
as long as your son is missing.

When a kidnapping happens in front
of your eyes it's our business.

The police is here to
protect their citizens.

The law has everything to lose if
it is ignored.

This cannot replace your money
because it is more valuable.

What else do you want to tell me?

Yes, one more thing...
I am sorry for your son.

But believe me...

I will prevent any negotiation
with the kidnapper.

Any attempt to pay ransom, I guarantee it.

No, no, no, excuse me.

What is the police doing? Where is the
boy? Has he been kidnapped or not?

His father says he is in
Munich. And the abandoned car?

The car was parked and
not even in the no parking zone.

Good day.

Go on, go on.

Go.

Magenta 7, Magenta 7,
Headquarter respond.

All roadblocks are active,
all cars are being checked.

The operation has begun,
all cars are being checked.

Put me through to lawyer Samperi.

Excuse me Miss, but you had an
appointment with Alberto Ricardi.

It should be yes to answer,
where you always met

and went there.

And?

On various places.

Do you know also Boletti?

Boletti Andrea, do you remember,
who was kidnapped? Yes.

Did you also go out with him
to various places?

If you don't mind, that's my business.

Where were you going to meet Ricardi
that night he didn't show up?

The prosecutor and Samperi are
here. Okay, let them in.

Maybe 20 or 30 minutes? Has he
not shown up once before?

Please Counsellor.
Didn't that seem strange to you?

Good morning.
Sit down.

Lawyer Samperi told me about your
methods which seem unmotivated to me.

I find these methods outrageous.

I demand that the surveillance of the
house of Ricardi be ended immediately.

I'm afraid I have to assume that Mr. Ricardi
is in denial about his son's kidnapping.

You have no proof of this.
No?

Hello? Hello?
Is this Ricardi? Yes.

Listen to me very carefully,
we have your son.

How is he?
Can I speak to him?

No. Follow
our instructions.

If you want to see him again,
keep the police out of it.

Prepare 400,000 million lire
in used 10,000 packets.

Mr. Prosecutor,

did you allow that the police is
tapping Mr Ricardi's phone?

I repeat.

The police is not informed.
No.

Then I'll see you in court.
Do you have the instructions?

Commissioner Cardone,

You must inform my office about
all your activities.

If it is necessary you must
apply for it.

I have no intention of applying
for something that will be rejected.

You know that the possibilities
of the police are limited.

It is out of your hands.

The family decides for itself how
how to deal with the kidnappers.

I cannot allow the police
to interfere.

Should the police perhaps
stand idly by

how unscrupulous criminals
take millions for themselves?

I'm sure they'll use the
money for new crimes.

You do not have the right to play with
the lives of the abductees.

Of course, that can't happen to you,
with your measly salary.

That's right, I don't have
that kind of money.

as you have just kindly reminded me.

But if my records are correct your client
does not have the money either.

What I mean is, on the basis of these
documents I see

the income and tax levies
which he deducts.

You have no right to
to inspect these documents.

The inspector claims that my
client is a thief.

You will pay for this.

Counsellor, will you please excuse us.

Mr. Prosecutor. Good day.

Zanonni. Yes, Commissioner.

Samperi is about to leave the house,

have him shadowed.

I don't want the kidnappers
to be paid the ransom.

I will do everything in my power

that there will be no contact
with the kidnappers.

For the entire Ricardi family

and all your friends,
including the lawyer.

The bankers, all your
employees, their lawyers,

We will also tap their phones.

If something happens to the son,
what then?

Then I will draw consequences
Mister Prosecutor.

I know what I do is unpopular.

I also have concerns.

But this is the fourth kidnapping
this year.

If we let the ransom payment
go through

there will be a fifth,

a sixth, seventh, tenth, and then?

Here Zanonni, Commissioner Cardone,
Cardone, come in.

I will Commissioner. He has a
meeting with the public prosecutor.

Please quickly, it's urgent.

Hello, Commissioner Zanonni. I am putting
you through to the Commissioner.

Here Cardone.

Commissioner, I am in front
of the bank.

Ricardi is standing in front of
the bank, waiting for someone.

Okay, a car just pulled up,
it's lawyer Samperi.

They just went into the bank.
Stay tuned.

Hello. Mrs. Boletti, please.
Right away.

Mrs. Boletti, for you.
For me? Thank you.

Hello?
Are you Mrs Boletti?

Yes. Who is it?

We have talked before, remember?

Hello. Where's Catalano?

Quickly. They called at the hairdresser,
we're listening.

How is the boy?

He's fine, don't worry.
don't worry.

Listen. Mr Ricardi is organising
the ransom money.

We can't talk to him
because his phone is tapped.

This means that you have
to take care of the handover.

Hold on. I have nothing to do with it.

You do what we tell you to do.

Get money and bring it to the
same place at five o'clock.

Commissioner Cardone, Zanonni here.

They have just come out of the bank.

Do they have a suitcase or a
parcel with them?

No, nothing.
Okay. Stay on them.

That means that Mrs Ricardi
organises the money.

Good bye.
Thanks.

Miss Boletti, excuse me.

I have to ask you something.

Commissioner, I'm in a hurry.
Another time.

I don't think you quite understand. You
have to accompany us to the police station.

Let me take the bag.

Allow me?

We can drive your car if
you would like us to.

Please.

That's all right, I'll park
your car for you.

Please.

Commissioner.

There you are. Please for information.

Commissioner, is there any news?

Why don't you say something
about the kidnappers.

Excuse me.

Good morning.
Good morning.

Can you wait here for a moment, please?

Come on Zanonni.

Anything new?
Nothing.

Headquarters here, please.

Hello?

I need to speak to my husband.
Hello?

Of course, but I have to
give you the right extension.

Hello? Please connect me with Boletti.

The number is...

Good. Get back to me in a minute.

Here I am, sorry again.

Would you like to sit down?
No thanks, I prefer to stand.

All right. What's in this bag?

You are welcome to open it.

What I'd like to know is,
do you have a search or an arrest warrant?

No, not at all.

I kindly asked you to come along
and you came with pleasure.

Good, then I kindly ask you to
let me leave with my bag.

Certainly, certainly,

except that you are here with a fortune,
thousands of lira.

So what? Nothing really,

but we need a confirmation in this regard.

Pure Formality.

Zanonni, please do.
Of course. Thank you.

Only takes a few minutes.

We hold on to that as fast as you can.

Sorry, I am new here and
don't have much practice yet.

All right,

I hereby confirm

Miss

Sorry, what was your first name?

Renata, Renata Boletti.
Renata.

Boletti right?
Yes. Boletti.

Boletti.

I, Renata Boletti, hereby certify,
very good, born

Excuse me, date of birth?

Okay, give me the position
of the two cars.

Catalano. Anything new?

I certify that I have received
the amount of Lira

Excuse me.

L

i... r... e.

Confirm at the commissariat
the Receipt of Lire

Excuse me Madame.

Hello?
Zanonni.

Don't let her use the phone and try
to hold her up as long as possible.

Yes, okay.

So,

I, Renata Boletti, hereby certify at the
Commissariat...

the receipt of Lire...

Excuse me Madame, how many Lire?

400.000 Lire.
Yes.

Pretty much.

Who takes responsibility there?

Miss Boletti.

Would you please come?
No, why?

I said come on.

We photograph everything here.

I'm done now.

The report will come tomorrow morning.

Have you informed the
family of Mr Ricardi?

Yes, I sent a man.

Please send the report as soon as possible.

After the autopsy.

Tomorrow morning. Very well.
I'll call you.

No.

Investigate the whole area.

He was murdered.

It makes no sense.

Now you're blaming me,
I'm up to my neck in trouble.

They are also involved.

Tell me how that happened,
Mrs Boletti.

Why did the kidnappers ask you a
second time to deliver the money?

Who are you covering for?

What are you trying to hide?

Mrs Boletti, either you speak
with me or in court.

Over a year ago, I had an affair
with a friend of my husband.

I know about that, go on.

As we've seen each other many
times someone found out.

Were you then blackmailed?

No.

But somebody collected evidence
about it.

Maybe he was planning to
blackmail me or my boyfriend.

But instead, I was supposed to help
with the kidnapping.

Nothing happened, he said
he would get in touch later.

I could be of help.

And his name?

I don't know. I only heard his voice
on the phone.

But it's the same voice that called me
twice about the ransom.

All I remember is he had an accent.

He's certainly not from here.

Inspector Cardone! Wait.

Were you right now?

Are you aware that you can get
problems?

Isn't it time to make a statement?

Yes, I will make a statement.

But before that, I'm
holding a press conference.

See you later. That's another
one of his tricks.

Hello.

You don't have to hide it.
I've already read everything.

Is the coroner here yet?
Yes.

Ah, your son Massimo called from Rome.

What did he say? He's arriving tomorrow
with the express train.

Anything else? The prosecutor's
waiting inside.

Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.

Tell the coroner.
And the journalists too.

This is a very unpleasant matter.
Cardone, lawyer Samperi

has prepared a lawsuit on behalf of the Ricardi
family... against you for the death of their son.

Just a minute.
Good morning.

Please. Take photos.

Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.

Come in.

Please be quiet for a moment.

Commissioner Cardone asked me personally to
present you with the results of the autopsy.

An autopsy performed on
Alberto Ricardi was performed.

During the autopsy was confirmed.

Result'. Death by drowning, after
blows to the head

with a hard object which caused
bruises on the left side of the brain

was knocked completely unconscious.

As a second result we have
we found that death occurred at least

2 or 3 days has occurred. This means

that the victim was killed immediately.
In my opinion

in the following hours of the
kidnapping, at the latest the next morning.

No matter if the money
would have been paid,

the murder could not have
been prevented.

But that also means that the police
cannot be blamed.

But isn't it also your opinion that the
police has to protect people in a

Situation similar to this,

and protect the lives of innocent
people? Absolutely right!

Innocent is the correct term.

Plural is quite correct because

the police should not protect the life
of a person

but the entire population
of the city that is innocent.

Commissioner Cardone, you still haven't
justified your methods.

You risk the lives of innocent people
to catch the guilty.

The reporters have reported
on some of your investigations.

The hostage-taking at the bank and
then Ricardi's son.

I ask for your opinion.

I'm sorry to hear that,

but I think if we negotiate with leaders
with terrorists or

hijackers, if we give in to them,

Tolerate their violent threats,

then we put everything on the line
because they have nothing to lose.

If we allow them to threaten us with bombs
and allow ourselves to be blackmailed,

That would be the end of our society.

I will do everything to prevent this.

Commissioner, you and I disagree on this
and you know it.

Regarding the incident, I would like to emphasise
that I am extremely sorry for what happened.

Attention please, train arriving
arriving on track 2.

Attention please, train arriving
arriving on track 2.

Please continue, Miss.

I have not thought enough

but then I put two and two together.

That evening when they
talked about the kidnapping

I had a date with him.
We know that, you told us that.

I have waited for him

but another man showed up.

It was a man who asked me
for something,

maybe he wanted something
from me I thought.

I always have to deal with
some visitors,

but these are friends of mine.

I had the impression that he

somehow knew something,

and that was clear

that Alberto could not come at all.

But he behaved calmly

and not at all nervous.
Who was that?

Vergano. Alvaro Vergano.

You know him. I saw him here once.

The guy who wanted the gun licence.
He's an informant.

Express to Padua - Venedig - Mestre

Express to Padua - Venedig - Mestre
departs from platform 1.

Excuse me, are you Massimo?

Commissioner Cardone's son?
Yes. Your father sent me to pick you up.

He could not come.

Very good. Please. No, no, thank you.

I sit in the front.

Marshal, I found this under the bed.

Very good, keep looking.

No sign of Vergano
but this is what we found.

That's why he wanted the gun licence.

Come in. This just arrived
for the commissioner.

Who brought this? A messenger, he said
it was very urgent.

Commissioner Cardone, we're at Vergano's
house, no sign of him, what now?

Leave Tadei there and keep looking
for Vergano.

Keep the house under surveillance but
tell them camouflage themselves well.

Quick, come to the office.

What's up? Speak.

Come on, now. Come on, speak.

Hello Papa. Here Massimo.

I was kidnapped.
Now it was my turn but

I'm fine,

don't be afraid.

They say,

they say, they know that you
are not rich.

They are satisfied with a
month's ransom.

I didn't know you earned so little.
Okay, that's enough.

Now you've heard it.

This was brought a few minutes ago.

I couldn't believe it at first.

But it's true, it's Massimo.
They have him.

They must be crazy, they'll stop
nothing.

Hello? Commissioner Cardone, for you,
a friend of your son.

Hello?

Commissioner Cardone, did you
get the tape from your son?

What do you want?

Now you are finished, Commissioner.

Quick, switch to Cardone's phone.

You mean you think you can't
negotiate with kidnappers.

One must not pay a ransom, that can
cause us a lot of damage.

Your theory makes it complicated for us.

Now you have to decide for your son.

Pay or don't pay.

You will announce it in the press.

We will then contact you again.

We are not joking.

Commissioner Cardone's son
was kidnapped yesterday.

Probably last night
around 6 p.m.

The kidnappers have informed the press
and television about the kidnapping.

They informed the commissioner about a
symbolic ransom payment.

It is your intention to force Cardone

to change his stance on ransom payments

and the behaviour of blackmailed persons

influence in this respect.

It is likely that Cardone will pay
the ransom and correct his attitude.

and will agree with the others who
are of the opinion that life

of the hostages is more important
than anything else.

It's me.

What are you doing?

Have you gone mad?

That's none of your business, Vergano.
It's my business.

You can't do that.

The commissioner's son.

I want nothing to do with it.

Stay calm, nothing can happen.

We'll do it.

Gentlemen, please.

Step inside.

Step inside.

Good morning.
Good morning.

We have learned of the abduction of
your son and we are very sorry.

What should we do? What shall
we write?

Will you get involved with the
kidnappers?

Yes.

That is the only option.

Please publish the following.

First I have to talk to my son.

If you allow it.

But I need to hear his voice.

And then?

That is all.

A bad situation Commissioner Cardone.

So is it different with your son?

Get Out!

There is nothing more to say.
Everybody out.

Get out here.

Faster, get out.

Come on.

Thank you for coming.

I heard about your son, I'm sorry.

I wanted to ask you if you knew anything
about this man,

he was a police informer for a long time.

Ah, Vergano.

Yes, I remember him well.

Perhaps I have overlooked certain
circumstantial evidence,

he might know something.

That is possible.

He has no scruples whatsoever.

He would betray his sister.

He would do anything for money.

But he's too insignificant to pull
something like this off. Where is he?

He is wanted.

Cardone, what do you think?

Forget your principles.

Forget your position,
forget your career.

Is your work for the police worth it?
You should pay.

Pay to get your son back,
that's all this is about.

With the media.

Is there anything I can do for you?
Do you want something to eat?

No, no, thanks.

Hello, here Cardone.

Any news?
No, Commissioner.

Get me Catalano.

Yes Commissioner?

News about Vergano?
Nothing.

But we'll get him, Don't worry.

All right, see you then.

Commissioner Cardone.

Here Cardone.
Commissioner Cardone,

We are following them.

If you want to talk to your son
do what we say.

At the next crossroads turn right.

Drive two hundred metres further

until you see a Cafe.

Stop and go into the cafe.

I don't think we need to remind you if
you want to talk to your son

do not talk to the headquarter.

What can I bring you?

Do you have light? Sure.

A coffee please.

Is there anyone here who's
waiting for his son Massimo?

Where is he? He's on the phone.

Where? Right over there.

Thank you. But briefly, please,
this is a service phone.

Hello?

Here, speak to your father.

Hello Papa.

Massimo, hi, how are you?

Fine, and you? What do you think?

There is nothing more important.

I have done something wrong.

No. I don't think so.

Why don't you believe that?

Many young people want
to fight for their ideals,

do you remember father?

Many of us young people
think about tomorrow

tomorrow for us is different
and it will happen.

We want a world without violence

and without barbarism.
What are you trying to say?

Nothing. Follow your duty.

Completely.
Yes, of course.

I will pay, of course.

No, you can't help me like this

or somebody else.

I can make you understand
we all have to do our duty.

Everyone has to, you after your
own kind, I'll do it my way.

Listen Massimo, you mean...

that you have to do what
you have to do, Papa.

Stick to your principles. No
Massimo, I'll never see you again.

Forget about me. Don't pay
the blackmailers...

pay them nothing.

Massimo! Massimo! Massimo!

Hello?

Hey, aren't you going to hang up the phone?

Hello Vergano.

Come on.

Good, good, understand.

Commissioner Cardone please.

Roadblocks everywhere, fast.

I'm glad you're here.
And?

How is he? Not good, he's been
stabbed multiple times. Go.

Good evening.
Good evening.

Close it, now.

This is Commissioner Cardone.
Where is my son?

He is in bad shape. You
have to wait...

I have to question him no matter
how he is.

Come on Vergano, where is my son?

He...

Listen Vergano.

I know for a fact that you were involved
with all these kidnappings.

Now they have almost killed you.

Speak. Tell me who gives the orders.

Tell me who it is. Who is the boss
of this organisation?

Tell me where you've taken my son.
Go on, talk!

Commissioner, I...

Come on, lets go.

And? He will survive.

Go over to the office.

Now. Lets go.

Would you like to go for a coffee?
No, no, thank you, drive.

Turn right after the traffic lights.

Wait for me here.
Good morning.

Cardone.

Cardone, here, here.

I was expecting you.

I never underestimated you.

Did you come alone?

I always get up very early.

Fresh air and a glass of Milk.

My father did the same.

He must have been a good guy.
I did not know him.

He went to Africa in 1927 and
I never heard from him again.

Remember when I was in your office?

You were curious about Vergano,
you suspected something.

That's why he had get eliminated.

That bastard. You understood
immediately.

You are a good cop.
Congratulations.

Very rare a man

of your calibre supports a
government in this...

Chaos.

They know that there is a lot of money
to be made with kidnappings and robberies.

All this money goes to parties,
right and left,

this is a country which

lives from blackmail and kidnapping.

Injustice.

Murders for hire, we are a country
of murderers.

Ungovernable!

Destabilised.

Is it this democracy that you defend?

You really believe that violence
will restore order and peace will come?

Yes, that is necessary.

Our hope is

to restore the social
system in our country.

With the method of murder

and Violence?

Don't be blind Cardone.

Law and order is only on one side.

We will talk about that another time

You know why I am here.

You want me to tell you
where your son is.

Strange guy this Massimo.

He ruined the whole plan

that had been agreed upon,

you wanted to pay.

The difficulties started only because of
this little

boy.

He should grow up.

Growing up?

That depends on you.
How?

Your son's life vs.
Freedom for me and my people.

Commissioner. You can come now.

Jovine you are under arrest.

You can present your ideology
in court.

You are crazy Cardone!

Arrest me and you'll never
see your son again.

I know where my son is.

Vergano has spoken, he is not dead.

All I wanted is your confession

old man.

Get him out.

Hello here Catalano. We have
surrounded the house.

Inform Cardone. Ask him what
what is supposed to happen next.

Magenta 1 to Central.
We call Cardone.

Catalano has had the house moved
and asks how we should proceed.

Tell him not to waste a minute.

OK, understand.

They are coming.

The police is outside, the house
is surrounded.

Bloody hell. They cut the phone. Get up.

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

I am the son of Cardone.

Massimo! Here is Catalano, look.

Catalano, they will kill me

if you don't let them leave.

Do you understand? We'll be
out in a minute.

and if you don't want him dead,
you'll let us go, understand?

Get him in.

Hello Zanonni.

They want to get out of here.

We're supposed to let them go
or they will kill Massimo.

He could tell us himself, they
kept him out by the balcony.

Inform Cardone.

If we stop them they will kill your son.

Tell Catalano no one is allowed
to leave the house.

That is an order.
All right, Commissioner.

How much longer do we need?

We have to go through the
whole city Commissioner.

Let the headquarter know.

Commissioner Cardone's orders,
no one is to leave the house.

That won't be possible, we'll put
Massimo in danger.

Try to close the road for traffic.

And avoid a shoot-out.

Attention!

A man with a child!

No!

Noooooo!

Come here, fast!

Call the Headquarter. We need
an ambulance.

Lets go.

We follow them on the road
to the station.

In a few seconds we pass the station.

Run them out of town.

That will not be easy.

Try it, in the city it will be
impossible to get them.

We are at the roundabout,
the traffic is aggravating.

Turn all traffic lights green and
keep the traffic flowing.

The roads must be clear.

Take him upstairs.
Yes, Commissioner.

Cars 3 and 7, blocking the
Motorway exit.

All cars to the motorway slip road.

Car 4 and 16 to the north tangent.

Catalano. Catalano.

Catalano, what is happening?

Where do you go?

They are just outside the city
and are going zigzag.

Three cars are in pursuit, but we
have concerns about your son.

We are in the North.

Increase the roadblocks
wherever you can.

Block all crossings.

Try to stop the traffic.

If we keep going like this
we'll soon be on the motorway.

They use the new driveway.

This is the new motorway section.

It is still closed to traffic. The exits
have not been completed.

There is only one way to stop them.

No. No. Are you insane?

A door has just opened.

No, no, no.

They want to kick him out.

No, stop it, let me.

Noooo, noooo!
Out with him, push him.

Watch out.

Catalano, what is happening?

Catalano?
Call an Ambulance.
