OCTOPUS 10

Silvia!
What a pleasure to see you.

I often read about you
in the papers

but beyond that
I assumed you'd forgotten me.

How could I?

You taught me everything I know.

You had to do all the worst jobs.

You were the youngest,
the mascot of the group.

Sometimes I miss those years.

I don't, Silvia.

They were dark times,
violent times.

We fought ruthless enemies.

Terrorism, organised crime...

They were trying
to bring down the state.

And we lost
so many of our people.

Too many.

No, I must say that these days

I'm happy
just to attend to my students

and my books.

And to know there are people
like you to uphold the law.

Well, I've stepped aside too.
I left the magistracy.

I'd hoped those days
were over, but...

But?

Here...

See this girl?

Giulia Mercuri.
I think she's been kidnapped.

The victim was Paolo Tripoli

and, like Giulia's father,
Senator Mercuri,

he was a member of
Professor Ramonte's association.

I thought that association
ceased to exist years ago.

Yes. And many members
were investigated

but with little success.

Most of the charges
were dismissed or lapsed.

The few found guilty
were given light sentences.

I n any case,
they're all out of jail now.

And once the media spotlight
was turned off

they resumed their jobs
and previous activities.

And you have reason to believe
they're still dangerous?

Ramonte was found innocent
and acquitted.

But it was an appeal court's
verdict.

That's not what worries me.
Giulia told me about a file.

Classified information

which could expose
30 years of secrets.

- And Ramonte has them?
- Probably.

But whoever has them
has a powerful extortion tool,

a diabolical force
to manipulate the seat of power.

- You've told the magistrates?
- Yes, but they won't listen.

Ramonte is untouchable again,
stronger than ever.

But I can't give up, even though...

this story is playing havoc
with my private life.

You taught me that we have
responsibilities we can't ignore.

And you want to go ahead
all by yourself?

I'm here to ask for your help.

I don't carry much weight
these days.

You're important to me.

I haven't changed my mind.

There are times when
you cannot and must not give up.

Keep listening
to your conscience, Silvia.

And I'll do my best

to give more than moral support.

Thank you.

Thank you, Professor.

No, leave this to me.

I'll keep it until you bring her
to meet me in person.

What do you want?

- To take your picture.
- Keep away from me.

You have to hold it
so they can read the date.

I'm not posing for any picture.

What do you want from me?

Do as you're told.

- What did you do to her?
- I took her picture.

You can keep the paper.

What's that?

- I don't know.
- Why did they kidnap me?

Wait. I saw you at the hospital.
You're Dimitri's mother.

Your son is very sick.
How is he?

Not good.

He's getting worse.
The doctors say he's critical.

Why aren't you with him?
Why are you here?

Why is it just you unmasked?

I'm not important.

If you need anything,
you can ask me.

I have orders to treat you well.

Whose orders are they?

Who's behind that camera?

Vanja, it's me.

Goodbye.

Hello.

- Want some coffee?
- Thank you.

- Did it go well in Rome?
- Yes, more or less.

- Did you see the professor?
- Yes.

He was a great comfort.

He said that I'm right,
I must go ahead.

What will you do now?

I have no idea.

Unfortunately I'm alone.

If what you say is true,
why doesn't anybody do anything?

Well, Ramonte was acquitted
and nobody dares touch him.

And Giulia's father
is still not talking,

fearing for his daughter's life.

Sooner or later they'll notice you.

That's what I hope.

I want to flush them out.

I want to bring them
into the open.

You want to be a decoy?
Do you realise the risks?

It's all I can do.

I'm going to work.
See you tonight?

I think so. Alfredo...

Any news of Anna?

No. I couldn't bring myself
to call after what happened.

She's been hurt too much.

We promised
to take her home, but...

Hello?
Good morning, Judge.

I'd like news of Anna.
I'd love to see her.

Not a good idea.
The last visit really upset her.

It was a huge disappointment.

I know, it was hard for me too.

Something unexpected
had happened, a serious matter.

But I assure you
nothing's changed.

We'll bring her home
Very soon.

Anna needs security.

If you can't provide it
you should leave her alone.

But we're still assured
of the adoption, aren't we?

The judge will decide
in the interest of the child.

I'm sorry,
but I have to go now.

Yes, I understand.
Goodbye.

Another cup of tea?

Poor Vanja, now you have
to take care of a sick man.

- My strength is leaving me.
- You'll feel better soon.

Drink it, it'll do you good.

You'll be fine, I'm sure of it.

- Thank you, my boy.
- I must go now.

We'll continue our game later.

Yes, of course.

Give me your hand.

I'm glad you're back.

Give these in person to Rittone.

Right away.

- How's the professor?
- Weak.

He must keep taking
the medicine.

- Now go.
- I need money.

You've had an advance.
The rest when the job's done.

Sorry, it's not visiting time.

I'm Judge Conti.
I need to talk to the director.

- I'm the director.
- I'm looking for a girl.

She volunteers here...
Giulia Mercuri.

Giulia! What happened to her?
Where is she?

I was hoping
you'd help me find out.

We were expecting her
but she never even called.

Her boyfriend
looked for her too.

- What's his name?
- Marco Rittone.

His father's a lawyer.
Know him?

He knew she'd gone to London,
but she hadn't left a contact.

- Did you know about the trip?
- Not at all. I told him that.

We're losing another child.

- What's wrong with him?
- Leukaemia.

A victim of the Russian
nuclear plant disaster.

Chernobyl!

Hello, it's Silvia Conti.
May I speak to Marco?

- My son is out.
- Hello, Mr Rittone.

- What do you want from Marco?
- News of his girlfriend.

- You must know Giulia.
- I don't know where she is.

When did you last see her?

Who authorised you
to question me?

I'm just asking...

My son and I have nothing
to tell you. Goodbye.

Lunch is ready, Dad.

- Coming.
- Who was it?

Nothing, just a nuisance.

She can't just have vanished.

- Who's vanished?
- Giulia.

She went to London
after a fight with Marco.

If I'd left every time we argued
I'd have been all over the world.

You said
she's been on edge lately.

She came up with a story
about her father.

She said that
her father was in danger,

that your friend Ramonte
was threatening him.

Marco, I'll be honest with you.

I don't know if a girl who acts
like that is right for you.

- Who can that be?
- I'll get it.

Morning.

- Mr Rittone, the lawyer?
- I'm his son. Can I help you?

I'm sorry,
it's a personal delivery.

- Who shall I say?
- Vanja.

Come in.

Wait, please.

- Dad, it's for you.
- Who is it?

Vanja.

- What can I do for you?
- Good morning.

I won't be long, Marco.

Where's your father?

Bothering people at lunchtime!

Well? Can't we have
our Saturday meal in peace?

Who was that guy?

A client's secretary.

- Can we eat now?
- Bon appetit.

I nspector Leonardi...

You wanted to see me, Judge?

- Let's take a walk.
- With pleasure.

This is delicate. I know
Judge Conti came to see you.

Yes, she was looking for a girl,
Giulia Mercuri.

She witnessed an accident.

That's right.
Heard from her lately?

No. Judge Conti said
she'd gone to London.

The girl's father told her,
but she wasn't convinced.

She asked me to check
with the airport

and the girl wasn't
on any flight.

That's just the problem.

Judge Conti has no authority
to investigate the disappearance.

And to this day nobody has
reported a crime to us.

But...

They arrived a short while ago.
She's alive and well.

- Why?
- Now her fate is up to you.

You have something precious

and Ramonte is willing
to pay any price for it.

It's the disk, isn't it?

The damned disk
that lets him access his file.

It's just a senile
old man's obsession.

It took him 30 years to compile
and he wants it back.

That's why
he kidnapped my daughter?

Give him the disk and Giulia
will be here within an hour.

Excuse me, Senator,
it's time for your pill.

- Let me help you...
- Leave it here, Hedy.

- What does he know about this?
- He won't tell anyone.

He owes me everything.
And he's very fond of Giulia.

Let's hope so. One word too many
could be fatal for her.

I'll be back tomorrow. Hand over
the disk and we'll all rest easy.

The number you have called
is unavailable.

Please call again later.

We may have to sacrifice
our queens.

That's an idea.

I can't do anything,
I feel as if I'm fading...

What did you mean?
What idea?

I was thinking of changing
the name of my club.

How about The Two Queens?

I hate it.

If I were you, I'd never
set foot in that place again.

No, Vanja, I didn't take you in
and raise you like a prince

for you to prostitute yourself
in a place like that.

When you're better,
I'll take you to my club.

You'll change your mind,
you'll like it.

Checkmate.

Let's wait a few days.
I can't act without a crime.

I know, but we can't just
abandon Giulia.

You put me
in an awkward position.

I have to follow the rules.

Very well. I'll come back
when I have news for you.

I just hope it's not news
of another fatal accident.

- When did it happen?
- Early this morning.

God had pity on him
and called him to heaven.

He wasn't my Dimitri any more.

He was...
like a wounded little bird.

He was my whole life.

Now I've nothing left.

And Dimitri's father?

He's dead too.

He worked at the nuclear plant.

He was one of the first
to be contaminated.

He fought hard
against the disease.

He lived just long enough
to see the birth of his son.

He had that joy.

I heard about your son.

I've no one left.

This is your home.
You can stay here if you wish.

"I acknowledge
that I'm no longer able,

"due to my failing health,

"to head our association.

"It is for this reason

"that I resign
from the position of president

"and name our legal advisor,
Edoardo Rittone,

"as my successor."

Actually, I'm fine.
I'm almost back to normal.

Come on, Ramonte. We all know
that, sadly, that's not the case.

We're very grateful to you,
but you must understand that...

You should thank me
that you're here. Me alone.

All of you.

You're nothing without me,
you don't even exist.

Nobody doubts
your merits, Ramonte.

No one forgets
what he owes you.

But it was you who taught us

that it's not people that count,
it's the plan.

That's why it's necessary for you
to resign and hand over the file.

I've spent most of my life
building that file.

I've paid, bribed,
extorted, killed...

Yes, I've even killed
to obtain those dossiers.

And now I should
give them to you? No.

Not to us, Ramonte,
to the plan.

Tano Cariddi?

It's funny when you think our Tano
didn't want to be part of it.

I had to insist
and persuade him to join.

Thank you.

Please, Ramonte, don't make it
more difficult and painful.

Death is always
difficult and painful.

I'm dying.

I guess I've no choice
but to comply.

I guess not.

Go and get the disks,
please, Vanja.

They're useless unless Mercuri
gives you the disk to read them.

Mercuri too
will be forced to comply.

It's you, Vanja.

I should have known
you were the angel of death.

Go on, give me some more.

Do what you have to do.

Do your duty to the end.

Why, Vanja? Why?

For money?

It is to respect his dying wish

that we honour him with a very
intimate and low-key ceremony

in the presence
of only his closest friends,

the members of the association

to which Professor Ramonte
devoted most of his life.

There is no need to remind
everybody who Ramonte was.

It's known to everyone,

even to those
who persecuted him

with shameful determination.

Yes, my friends,
let's call a spade a spade.

Here, in the presence
of the mortal remains

of a man who was destroyed
by the lies of his enemies,

we can't remain silent
and, above all, we can't forgive.

You all know

how the unjust and painful trial
that he had to endure

had robbed the professor
of his energy.

You all know how his friends
rallied round

when he finally came out of jail,
by then seriously ill.

Here today,

giving the last farewell
to Professor Ramonte,

I feel that I can state
in the name of his friends

and shout to his enemies

that his ideas and his plans

are still very much alive today.

Personally, I am honoured
to carry on his legacy

and to be
the executor of his will,

and I swear to ensure,
to the best of my ability,

that his work is not forgotten...

that nothing is forgotten.

- That woman is...
- I know who she is.

She's Silvia Conti,
a brave woman.

The great prosecutor
has dared to come here today.

My work is done.

- What are you doing here?
- And you?

I wanted to see
Ramonte's friends.

The new and the old.

- What if they see you?
- That's what I want.

To show them I haven't forgotten
and I'm watching them.

- It could be dangerous.
- Why? They're good citiZens.

You didn't answer my question.

What am I doing here?

Just a routine check.

Ramonte had
many enemies too.

Someone could have come
to give him a nasty send-off.

Vanja Marinof...
22, clean record.

A known homosexual, he's just
opened an "exclusive" club.

- What was he to Ramonte?
- His toy boy.

Ramonte took him on
when he was still in his teens.

He was with him to the end.
He knows a lot

about his mentor's
public and private life.

Thank you, I nspector.

Professor Ramonte's funeral
was held today.

It was a private ceremony,
barred to the media.

The eulogy was read
by lawyer Edoardo Rittone,

the executor of his estate.

This controversial man,
by many considered a benefactor,

by others
a mafioso and a murderer,

will now face the divine justice
he claimed to trust,

after human justice had fully
cleared his name before he died.

Excuse me, Senator,
Mr Marco Rittone is here.

Good evening, Senator.
I'm sorry to bother you...

- Did your father send you?
- No, why?

What... what do you want?

Senator, I'm well aware

that you disapproved
of your daughter and me.

But I'm worried about Giulia.

She can't have just disappeared
without a reason.

- You love her, don't you?
- I do.

Giulia... is going through
a difficult time.

She has to make
some important decisions.

Where is she? Why doesn't she
answer the phone?

I can't tell you where she is.

I don't even know myself.

But she'll be back very soon.

Have faith.

What's all this mystery?

You're very young, Marco.

But you must be patient.
Giulia will be back very soon,

in a matter of hours.

- I want to help her.
- You needn't do anything.

If you speak,
tell her I'm thinking of her

and I'm waiting for her.

Goodbye, Senator.

Marco...

I owe you an apology.

I misjudged you, but...

Giulia will be back.
We'll be reunited again.

This is a private club,
members only.

I know. Tell Vanja that
Silvia Conti is here to see him.

Follow me.

Wait here.

What's the deal?
Wrong address?

Or are you after new thrills?

I want to talk to you
about Professor Ramonte.

I thought his death had quenched
your thirst for revenge.

I never wanted him to die.

He died in my arms, you know.

Of course you do,
that's why you're here.

Yes. You lived with him
during his last days.

What was the cause of death?

He was very debilitated.

Why are we talking?

Am I a witness,
a suspect, or what?

It's just a friendly chat.

I choose my own friends.

Speaking of friends,

Ramonte met with the members
of his association at his place.

You must have known them.
They were at the funeral today.

I didn't see anybody.

There was an official meeting
where a girl was present.

A girl?

Yes.
A brunette, about your age.

- She vanished soon after.
- What's that to me?

There was also an old friend
of the professor, Doctor Tripoli,

who was run over and killed
the next day.

Stop telling me all that.
I'm in no mood to listen to you.

I don't know why
you're so nervous.

Because Professor Ramonte
told me about you.

He told me
to stay away from you.

And since this is my club,
I'd like you to leave, please.

I'm sorry, Miss.

You loved Dimitri,
you played with him,

and I'm making you suffer.

I guess you have no choice.

He's been good to me and Dimitri.

He's given me a job.

He gave me the chance
to help my son.

Who is he?

A man who's suffered a lot.

Why does he keep me here?

What does he want?

Ramonte's dead,
there's no reason now.

Ramonte didn't count much
any more.

And without your disk
his file is worthless.

That file is ours now, Aldo.

Marco was here yesterday.

- What did you tell him?
- He's scared.

He doesn't know what can
have happened to Giulia.

I lied to him and reassured him.

I was sure that after Ramonte's
death you would help us.

I do want to help you.

But I can't do anything for Giulia.
Only you can save her.

What kind of father are you?

You risk your daughter
out of stubbornness.

I n there.

Where?

Open the frame.

Behind the photograph.

Now call them,
right here in front of me.

- Giulia must be free tonight.
- It's not that simple.

I warn you, I know everything.

About you, about Ramonte...

about I nspector Cattani's murder.

Tell your friends
I'm calling the shots now.

While we have your daughter

you're in no position
to give orders.

If you say one word,
you sign her death warrant.

- You'll never let her go.
- She's our only insurance

against you doing
anything foolish.

We can't trust you any more.

Aldo! What's wrong?

Holy Mother of God... Aldo!

Hedy!
Hurry, the senator's sick.

Senator!

What's wrong?

The pocket...

The pocket of my jacket...

Giulia... Giulia...

Senator... Senator, answer me...
Answer me!

My dear friends,

this day will live
in the memories of us all.

We've been persecuted,
jailed and marginalised.

All that's in the past,
and now we can rightly say

we grow stronger than ever.

We owe this to a man
who was first to understand

which path to follow,
and above all,

which branches to cut
so the tree could blossom.

With unanimous consent,
I nominate our new leader...

Tano Cariddi.

We are now presented
with a great opportunity

to develop a great plan.

To do that, we won't need
weapons or terrorist tactics.

Those things
only help our enemies

to win and grow stronger.

There'll be no laws to break

simply because
we'll be making the laws

to suit our interests
and our great plan

to make Sicily a free port
for the new global economy.

This is the weapon that will
allow us to achieve our aim,

the file that Ramonte worked
to compile over a lifetime.

Ramonte was far-sighted,
patient and meticulous.

Day after day, over 30 years,
he gathered in these dossiers

the public and private sins
of many powerful politicians,

obscure civil servants,
magistrates, policemen,

businessmen, top professionals

and up-and-coming young men.

When they find out
we have the dirt on them,

many will panic and be willing
to buy our silence.

Many of those who turned
their back on us will return.

Some will be asked
to openly join us,

others to silently endorse
our decisions.

All of them
will pay the highest price.

They'll have to relinquish
their power, hand it over to us

and give us free rein
to use it at our discretion.

You know everything,
you saw everything.

Do you want Giulia
to end up like her father?

I don't know anything.
I've just been doing my job.

No, you know
that Giulia is in danger,

that she was kidnapped.

They blackmailed her father
and terrorised him to death.

And now that he's dead,
Giulia's life is worthless.

They can get rid of her
any time.

What?

- Wait, Marco.
- What do you know about her?

The obvious. You know
how much Giulia loved her father.

Yet she's not here to mourn
his death. And she won't be.

Because a monster has her,

and he denies her even this.

She was kidnapped
because she knew awful truths

about her father and his friends,

because she'd seen
one of them die

and, unlike them,
she didn't turn a blind eye.

That's enough.
You've no respect for the dead.

You still slander the men whose
death you caused with your lies.

Why not tell your son
the truth, if you dare?

Why not sing Ramonte's praises?

You were his closest associate,

the executor of his will.

Ask him to tell you
about Ramonte and his friends.

Giulia had found out.
That's why she was kidnapped.

Her life depends
on you too, Marco.

The people who love her
may still be able to save her.

- That woman's right, Dad.
- That woman's obsessed.

No, you're wrong.
Giulia told me about it.

About what?

A meeting at Ramonte's place.
You were there too.

- Ramonte was your friend.
- Come on, let's go.

I kept quiet to spare
your feelings, but it's true.

- Giulia's been kidnapped.
- You knew about it!

How did it happen?

They contacted me
as her father's friend.

- Who are they?
- I'd rather you didn't know.

I'm suffering enough
over this situation.

- Why are you involved?
- I'm not. They just know me.

I'm a well-known lawyer.

They asked me to mediate,

to convey their demands
to her father.

- What did they want?
- I don't know, I told you.

I'm just a mediator.

I accepted out of concern
for you and that poor girl.

God knows how painful it was.

It fell to me to tell poor Aldo
that his daughter...

I'll never forget
how distressing it was.

I did my best to help Giulia.

I offered money,
begged for mercy...

And now?
Where's Giulia now?

Who knows? Her father's death
has complicated everything.

But maybe not,
maybe now they'll let her go.

Now you know and you can judge
your father's actions.

I'll keep doing my best
to get Giulia back.

Why didn't we go to the police?

Are you craZy?
Giulia would be dead by now.

No, we must free Giulia first.

The real danger now
comes from Judge Silvia Conti.

She doesn't care about Giulia.

She wants revenge for the trial
that ended her career.

She's just interested
in finding someone to send to jail.

Keep away from that woman,
Marco.

If she contacts you,
let me know and don't talk to her.

For Giulia's sake.

Go home now.
I have something to do first.

It's me.

There are serious complications.

I must see you.

Please, give this to Judge Conti.

- We're not mailmen.
- Please, it's very important.

- Does she know that?
- She will when she sees it.

Wait, I'll call the inspector.

- I can't, I must go.
- Just a minute.

Please, give it to her!

That woman's obsessed.
She said awful things to my son.

She terrorised the Egyptian.
He'll talk soon, I know it.

He saw me. He heard what I said
to Mercuri, he knows everything.

Knows what?

I followed your orders, Tano.

You've made many mistakes.

We can still fix things.

I was hoping
it wouldn't come to this.

I did my best to avoid it.

But the mind alone
can't bend metal. It needs fire.

It's time to play our last card,
the riskiest one.

You and I will have to bear
this burden.

Each will carry his load.

Mine will be
the last and heaviest.

The girl.

But you...

You love me... Me!

Yes, you.

Why?

You're a good man.

That's not true.

I'm not good.

I can't afford to be.

I miss you.

- I'm here.
- That's even worse, because...

you're not here for me.

Silvia...

I'm not blaming you.
I'm not here for you either.

Will this story ever end?

It's getting close.

Sooner or later
somebody will emerge and...

will make a mistake.

You're playing with fire.
And you're alone.

No, I'm no longer alone.

I've met some people
who instinctively reject evil.

They'll help me.

They'll be destroyed with you.

I'm scared, Silvia.

And that makes me feel
less alone.

- Fine, just a few scratches.

So you succeeded.

to Judge Conti.

He left them with her
before fleeing.

- How is Judge Conti?
- She's fine.

But one of our men is critical.

- Any leads?
- We're checking every angle.

Could this be revenge
for Ramonte's death?

Right now
nothing points in that direction.

Is this connected
with the murder of the Egyptian?

The method
seems to be the same.

It's too early to tell.

What's going on, I nspector?
The public's scared.

We were too eager
to put the past behind us

and now we pay the price.

Poor Hedy.
If only he'd trusted me.

My escorts... Were they hurt?

One's in shock but will be okay.
The other...

He's in surgery.
They're hoping to save him.

I'm sorry.

- It's all my fault.
- No, it isn't.

It's a miracle you survived.

- When did I get an escort?
- When you didn't give up.

- I didn't even know them.
- It's their job.

What's changed?

Last time we met...
you nearly showed me the door.

Let's say I wasn't authorised
to give you information.

My orders were
to protect you discreetly.

Whose orders?

Your trip to Rome
wasn't a waste of time.

Your transfer's been suspended.
You're resuming your duties.

I owe you an apology.
You were right.

Anyway, now we have a crime.
Two in fact.

That poor boy's killers
and your attackers acted together,

as if they were following a plan.

To wipe out troublemakers.

We didn't just give you an escort,

we started to investigate
as you suggested.

That's why you saw me
at Ramonte's funeral.

An agent was taking photos
of everyone who was there.

They're all here.

Tano Cariddi!

This never ends.

We lost track of him for years.

He seemed to have vanished.

I checked
and he's officially missing.

He cooperated
with the Secret Service

but no one's seen him
for years.

And here he is,
at Ramonte's funeral.

Maybe he was just there
as a friend.

Tano Cariddi has no friends.

And his attention
is on Ramonte's young friend.

They act like conspirators.

Let's get Vanja.

Let me go!

Judge, I don't know anything!

Get in.

Eat something, sir.

Take a good look.

Well?

- Do you know her?
- I'm not into women.

Just answer my questions.

Never seen her.

She's Giulia Mercuri.

Senator Mercuri's daughter.
Do you know him?

I might have seen him
at Ramonte's house.

Many people came to visit.

Tano Cariddi visited often,
didn't he?

Who's he?

- You do business together.
- What business?

- I met him in church...
- What's in that briefcase?

I nspector, I'm an honest citiZen.

I'm here to cooperate.

- Good.
- But you can't grill me like that.

Let's talk about Giulia now.
She's been gone two weeks.

- Mercuri's a rich man.
- Not really. Try another reason.

- What's this? A quiZ show?
- Let me help you.

Before she disappeared,
Giulia called me.

Her father had told her about
a certain file that Ramonte had.

- But you didn't know, did you?
- I didn't.

You didn't.
So you don't know

that the file contains
secret and classified documents.

I don't understand...
No, I don't understand.

You could get life.
Do you understand that?

I want to leave.

I want to get out of here.

Keep pressuring,
he may cave in.

- No, there's no time.
- Let's face facts.

They have what they want.
Giulia may be dead.

We must try one more thing.
Are you willing to risk your job?

You'll pay, Judge.
You're asking for trouble.

Times have changed.

You can't pluck an honest citiZen
from his home.

No more summary justice.
Ask your friends!

People like you must be careful,
very careful.

- I hope you have a reason...
- I do too, for your sake.

I'm telling you
for the umpteenth time,

I've hardly exchanged ten words
with this young man,

and only ever in greeting.

Yes, we both knew Ramonte

but I don't think
that can be considered a crime.

You haven't gone this far before.

- Get him out.
- Come with me, please.

This isn't over.
You'll pay for this.

Try hiring my attackers.
Do you know them?

- You okay?
- Yes. You?

Fine.
She has nothing on us.

You don't know that guy,
you've never seen him. Okay?

- But...
- Do as I say. You'll be fine.

See you soon.

Stay where you are.

I'm not through with you.

Since you ask so nicely...

Bring in the other witness.

Please, have a seat.

May I call you Marco?

Sure.

Marco, you know we're
investigating the disappearance

of someone very close to you,
Giulia Mercuri.

My guess is
that she's been kidnapped

to blackmail her father,
and she's still held prisoner.

Where does my father fit in?

He and Mercuri were friends.

I believe that
he acted as mediator.

So what?
My father is a respected lawyer.

He would have acted
in good faith.

You're right. And we're here
to clarify the situation.

Do you know this man?

- Is that a question?
- Marco, there's no time.

Giulia is in danger.

- I've never seen him.
- I didn't ask you.

Look.

Who gave you these?

How did you get them?

You did it.

You visited two days
after Giulia disappeared!

You gave my father
an envelope!

Take it easy, calm down.

I know nothing
about envelopes and photos.

No one said there were photos
in that envelope.

But it's true.
These photos, right?

I've never seen that girl.

I just delivered the envelope.

Your father
saw these pictures, Marco.

He took them to Mercuri.

Is everything all right?

You're under arrest
for the kidnap of Giulia Mercuri.

What?
What did you tell them?

- What I had to.
- Had to?

What are you talking about?

What tales did you tell my boy?
What lies did you spin?

This woman has set us up.
Can't you see? It's a set-up!

Don't trust her!

Let's go and find Giulia.

Vanja will never talk.
He's scared to death.

And I don't think
he knows where she is.

Let me talk to my father.

Fugitive
Not Corruptible

Date of Birth:?
Place of Residence:?
Category:?

Sentenced for wife's murder

Mitigating ci rcumstances
Diminished responsibility

Everything...
They knew everything.

Wife, Esther... Murdered.

Esther, I give you this ring

in token of my love and loyalty.

I n the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.

Tano...

I give you this ring

in token
of my love and loyalty.

I n the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.

Dad...

I have to know the truth.

And I want to hear it from you.

You'll never forgive me, will you?

You don't know those people...

I'm not interested in your excuses.

You'll have time to repent.

Just tell me
what happened to Giulia.

Where is she?

I don't know.

I just know
she's in Tano Cariddi's hands.

He lives in an old castle
at the foot of Mount Etna.

See?
There are very few buildings.

They all look deserted.
Old stables, goat pens...

What's that?

Zoom in.

The ruins of a castle, probably left
when the new crater opened.

Didn't Rittone mention
a derelict castle?

We come to you live
from Police HQ

with an update
on the investigation

of the recent tragic events.

Mr Rittone, the lawyer,
has been arrested.

Also charged
was Vanja Marinof,

local nightclub owner,
of Slavic origin.

The charge is criminal association
and kidnapping.

The crime has been linked
to an old murder case,

the shooting
of I nspector Cattani.

- Good.
- The helicopters are ready.

They'll move at dawn.

They'll show us the way
as we drive.

I'm coming with you.
I can't stay here.

Okay.

Have you come to kill me?

You...
You're a brave girl, Giulia.

So...

So proud.

You're generous.

You love your father so much
you've devoted your life to him.

You kidnapped me
to blackmail him, to silence him.

It's all over, Giulia.

- Your father is dead.
- That's a lie.

It's a lie!

How did he die?

Who did it?

He loved you very much too.

Believing you were doomed
was too much for him.

You're the one who killed him.

Why did you
let him die without me?

You're animals, murderers,
all of you!

You were in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

You saw things
you should never have seen.

But I... I didn't want
to do you any harm.

I just wanted
to remoVe your courage.

Just a small surgical procedure.

You're nothing but a criminal.

You have to die, Giulia.

Because...

the game is much bigger
than you.

It's power that's at stake.

And power transcends all of us.

It's the only god I worship,

the only one to fight for,
to sharpen your mind for,

to stifle your passions for...

Power is a greedy god.

It wants blood sacrifice,
it tests you,

it throws little obstacles
in your path

that have to be removed.

Little men who think
they can defeat evil

or who are consumed
by fear and guilt,

proud and obstinate
little women

who have opposed
great plans,

proud and obstinate
little women like you...

and like Esther!

Esther...

I've only ever loved one woman...

and she was like this,

like you.

She was... obstinate,

and proud.

She was your age.

She was beautiful too...
full of life.

She didn't love you, did she?
She never loved you.

What do you know
about her love?

Or mine?

She too stood in my path

and she betrayed me.

Esther...

Esther...

Why did you do it?

I would have given up
everything for you.

Esther, you could have been
my medicine.

You too...
You deserted me, too!

You could have healed me!

Sir...

- Do you see that?
- Yes, the ruins of a castle.

Geri 1 to Poli 21.
Do you read me? Over.

We read you.
We're flying over the NNE ridge.

Nothing to report down there.
We're heading east. Over.

- Morning, Silvia.
- Tano!

You still know my voice?

Let Giulia go, we're coming.

She's no use to you now.

It's not just the girl,
I have Ramonte's file too.

Let Giulia go
and hand over the file.

You and I are relics.
It's time to step aside.

Our time is up, Silvia.

Goodbye.

Listen to me, Tano...

Tano... Answer me!

Answer me!

Sleeping next to you,
waking up next to you,

having to smile at you,
touch you...

I loathed it.

You know,
I've always betrayed you.

- You're lying.
- I spied on you...

I stole from you, I even killed.
And guess who for.

Stop it!
I don't believe it, you're lying!

- I nspector Cattani!
- Tell me that's not true.

- Tell me it's a lie.
- I know everything.

Today you win, but tomorrow

you'll be a common criminal,
no different from the rest!

A nobody, a nobody!

When a drop of water
in the ocean evaporates

the other drops
think that it's dead.

But...

it lives on in the clouds.

And it's destined
to return to the ocean.

But the other drops
won't know that

unless they follow
the same route.

The helicopters
are getting closer.

Come, quickly!

- He'll kill you too.
- What are you doing?

No, he won't. Let's go.

- Where is she taking her?
- Let them go.

You can go too.

This way.

We can see something.
A satellite dish on the ruins.

There's a car, and a person.

Can you land? Over.

Give me the position. Over.

They've found us!

Run, get help!

- You come too.
- No, he may still need me.

Stop, stop!

There's no one here.

- Any floppy disk?
- No, Judge.

We copy you.
We're searching the north ridge.

Any news?

A red car is climbing
to the top of the volcano.

That's him.

A man just got out.

There!

- Land!
- We can't. Let's follow him.

Give the position
to those on the ground.

He's heading into the crater.

He's mad!

He was right.

It's all over.

Giulia, I give you this ring

in token
of my love and loyalty.

I n the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.

Marco, I give you this ring

in token
of my love and loyalty...

- Is he that important man?
- Yes...
