After the tragic events and
painful memories that,

have shaped his life,
Corrado Cattani enters a monastery

where he meets Abbot Lovani,

a powerful man who for some time
has lived shut off from the

world spending his retiring
years in meditation and prayer.

He is removed from this setting by
American agent, Bert di Donato,

who is investigating a massive
arms trading deal,

a deal run by an international
businessman, Kemal Yfter,

and involves one of Corrado's
oldest enemies: Gianfrranco Laudeo.

Corrado takes up the challenge
and moves back to Milan,

where he saves the life of a kidnapped
girl, Greta Antinari.

Reuniting her with her family,
Corrado meets her father, the banker

Carlo Antinari, and begins to fall
in love with his eldest daughter Giulia.

Another character who revolves
around the Antinari family

is the managing director
of the bank Dino Alessi.

We discover that he is not only
Anna Antinari's lover,

but also the man behind many
suspicious, financial deals.

Persuaded by Corrado, Laudeo
decides to speak out about Alessi,

but before details were revealed
Alessi's contacts moved in.

Laudeo was poisoned and died
in prison before telling his story.

The joint investigation will
bring Bert and Corrado on the

trail of Dino Alessi,
the managing director of the bank,

and will push Corrado to a
difficult position. On the one

hand his feelings for Giulia will
encourage him to live and love again,

but on the other hand he will
soon learn that Giulia's family

is involved with the arms
trafficking that he is investigating.

The tragic events that follow
will be telling for Corrado.

The Octopus 3

Part Three

Yes, I knew he had that
horrid disease.

And yes, I understood that he
took out the policy for us,

and that sooner or later
he could be killed.

Did you agree with all this?

We're poor, and this was
perhaps his destiny.

In all our lives we have never
taken a holiday, not one pleasure.

Yes I know that it seems wrong
but I thought it was right.

Sure. But for that kind of cover,
your husband had to kill Laudeo.

- And then be killed himself.
- It's not true!

- It is.
- He would never agree to that.

- They had already decided.
- Antonio was too good to kill anyone.

He had to put the poison in the
coffee then they could lose him.

They always took advantage of him.

He must have seen it coming,
so he took out the insurance.

This way he was sure the
money would go directly to you.

Who killed him?

Who killed him?

Who was it?

Did your husband ever have
any new visitors in the house?

Someone you may have not
seen before?

There was a man who came...
a bald man with gold glasses.

But Antonio said he was some
important lawyer.

Diletti?

What happens now?
Do they take my money away?

Don't worry about it.

I won't tell anybody.

But, Corrado, shouldn't she
go to the judge,

she ought to tell him
everything she knows.

Yes! If they have taken him,
then I want them in jail!

All in jail!

How can a woman accept the death
of her husband like that?

Imagine. Just waiting for
him to one day commit suicide.

Well, there are some situations
we can't understand.

One becomes hard, evil. Some
people will do anything for money.

- Not me.
- Because you have so much of it.

Someone has been here.
They have broken into the drawers.

Viviani's file has disappeared!

If something gets out I will talk!
You said this wouldn't happen.

Just a favour you said, and now
I'm embroiled in murder!

I'm speaking out!
I'm denouncing you all!

Why have you stopped?

This is where lovers come.

And what are we doing here?

I'd like... to give you a kiss.

Haven't you noticed my grey hair?
I deserve a little more respect.

- A few greys suit you.
- And I'm in bad shape on the inside.

- That doesn't matter.
- And further, trouble follows me.

- Really?
- Really.

I like trouble. Since I was a
child I've always been in it.

Come on, take me to the hotel
and then you can go home.

Listen, do you recognize the
nursery rhyme:

"little queen, little queen,
how many steps would there be to

your castle if I give you my faith
and my ring?" Hmm?

Yes, I know it.

How far is it to reach you?

You're already there.

Who is it?

- Judge Venturi wants to see you.
- What? Now?

Immediately. We ask that you
excuse yourself Inspector.

Oh no! Can you at least
bring him to me later?

We usually only deliver to the
Judge.

- OK. Let's go.
- Will you call me later?

Sure, as soon as I can.

- Shall I get in the back?
- Yes, in the back.

Why have you asked me here?

No thank-you.

Me neither. I only carry them
for others.

A few hours ago, a police official
called Antonio Viviani's wife,

after receiving a call from the
house of Viviani.

She said she had just spoken
to an inspector and that

she had showed him some x-rays
- do you follow?

Yes, but where do you want to go
with all this?

Inspector, I know you don't care
much for judges, but we

also have good intentions sometimes.

- Such as?

- For example, Viviani was bought.
- By who?

A person that you know well:
Diletti, Laudeo's defence lawyer.

How do you know?

This afternoon Mr Diletti
received a call from Dr Morrone

who was complaining about
some missing files.

So you had the doctor's
telephone tapped?

If someone insures the life of
a poor soul for 500 million lire,

wouldn't you be monitoring?

- Sure.
- We like to keep a few steps ahead.

What do you want? For me to say
"bravo!"

I know your story Cattani and
where you're coming from.

Why don't you come back and join
the police ranks rather

than going about like a lost soul?

Are you asking me to collaborate
with you?

No.

I'm going to stop here.

So, it's as you said...
you can only chase the small fry.

Actually, I had started to
investigate the Antinari Bank

but now the investigation will be
brought forward by someone else.

I'm going.

Why? Tell me the truth.

Why was the investigation taken
away from you?

Good-bye Inspector.

- Good-bye Judge.
- Good luck.

Just as my daughter put it
together, so will the Judge.

Buying someone to make him
kill another - it's monstrous!

There was no other way. Laudeo
wanted to spill everything

Don't get me involved, I said
no from the very start!

Carlo, try and keep a level head.

If you don't sign within a week,
not only will the entire

set-up fail, but you'll also
condemn yourself.

Everyone knows you're up to
your neck in hot water.

What they don't know is that
at this point I prefer to drown.

There's no choice. Just sign
and be done with it.

You provide the financial
security and in return

the purchasing country invests
huge sums of cash in our banks,

so that we can prevent the
financial collapse of Hong Kong.

And if Hong Kong falls we all
fall!

It's just another transaction
like all the others.

It's nothing like the others.
It's a deal of a million deaths.

I'm not signing and I don't
care what the cost!

You are heading for bankruptcy
and you're talking about morals...

You allow yourself these morals
without thinking twice

about your butler, your
secretary, your driver...

Be careful Carlo, things
are becoming dangerous.

Don't threaten me, Dino.

I hold something which can bring you
down.

You and I are tarred by the same
brush,

like two slaves in the same boat,

If I drown, you drown.

Do you want to know something?

Do you know what I can't stand
about you Dino?

Your hands tremble when you
talk about money.

Your whole existence is
trembling.

Sign the paper Carlo!

Sign it or it's over - for you
and your family!

- I've been expecting you. Get in.
- Weren't you in Basel?

Don't worry about that. Now I
can explain it all to you.

- Why now?
- Because I finally understand.

Now, listen carefully.
Let's say this is my apple.

Let's say it's worth a million lire.

Good, now Simms, I sell this to
you for two million.

But it's not worth it.

It is worth it because the money
you use is mine.

- Well then...
- Now Simms, you sell it to

Chioccia, but he'll pay three
million for it.

How is that if it's only worth
one million?

Just keep quiet, and take the
money. OK.

Now Corrado - you buy the apple
from Chioccia.

for one, two, three, four million.

What do you have in your hands
now?

I have an apple.

That is worth a million dollars.

That happens to be worth four
million lire according to others.

I don't understand this
business if the money is always yours.

You are the business, because you
are one of my banks in a faraway

country and an apple worth four
million lire is sitting in your vaults.

But, you paid for it with your
own money. You are out of pocket...

I'm not missing any money, because
all of you are banks that

belong to me, get it? All my own
businesses

You're in Liechtenstein, you're
in the Bahamas and you Corrado,

well, let's say you're in
Hong Kong.

Hang on, so who gives you the
money for the various banks?

My clients, all the investors of
my banks.

All the people that come to my
tellers each day and

deposit their savings, their pay.

Now, let's use some names...

So, let's say I'm the great banker
Carlo Antinari,

and I have a thousand of these
apples in my Hong Kong bank.

That is, you have 1000 million
worth of capital,

but others believe it to be 4000.

Exactly. This scam works until
someone comes to inspect

more closely or forces me
to sell my apples.

At that point the apples return to
their normal price and I have

a hole of 3000 million lire. Which
is more or less the deficit of

Antinari's Hong Kong bank at
the moment.

But, it's only you, and you,
and you, that know this,

and Yfter has come along, and
with the help of some powerful

friends discovers this secret.
He starts the blackmail,

asks for financial backing and
then puts up a deal.

- A deal worth a 1000 million lire.
- One 1000 million lire?

Just like that. And if I try and
back out Yfter will bring

down my financial empire.

Yes, but how did Yfter find all
this out?

It all came out in Basel.
Switch off the lights.

OK, this is Dino Alessi, the
brains behind the apple scam,

whose secret was discovered
by Yfter. Together they are now

forcing Carlo to finance the new
deal.

Look at them, they are so tense.

Actually, Yfter had just given
Dino an ultimatum:

he had only a week to get Carlo
to sign up for the new deal.

And if Carlo refuses?

Good-bye apples, good-bye banks
and good-bye millions.

I can't sleep. Can I stay a while?

- Are you worried?
- No...

Dino says that business isn't
running so smoothly.

Dino says so many things.

You'd do better not to always
listen to him.

He's always been loyal.

You don't strike me as the best
person to judge his loyalty.

You can be so mean when you
want to.

You can also be mean.

You're the one that went away...
years ago...

I would have liked to have
played the piano...

I studied it for so many years,
and then I abandoned it

when my father decided I was the
one to kick-start the Italian finances.

I wasn't born for this... this wasn't
the life I wanted.

It's the price important people
like you must pay.

Oh sure, I may help those decide
between war and peace,

or the rich and the poor. But it
doesn't make me happy.

Do you feel like sleeping together
tonight?

No.

Bye Chioccia, thanks again.

It's a pleasure to drive in Italy.
Nobody cares how fast you drive.

Ah, welcome back sir.

I must confess that deep down
I've been waiting for you.

- From when?
- The other night.

Do you remember where we were
up to?

- More or less.
- More or less?

- Yes.
- I remember it all, word for word.

We were here... exactly at this point...

- Who is it?
- Hello Giulia.

- Oh grandad, it's you.
- You were supposed to call me.

- So much to do! Your move?
- Pardon?

- Your move.
- Oh, the move, let me think!

Have you decided?

Oh yes... Tower... in F8.

What are you saying? Are you mad?
This move will ruin you.

The black bishop will checkmate you.

Yes, yes. I know that leads to
checkmate, but... that'll do...

For thousands of years this margin
of land has provided for its

inhabitants. Then, without warning
everything changed and life

has become a human tragedy.

Look at these children.

They are affected by a terrible
affliction that kills tens,

hundreds of thousands every year:
famine.

Who has stripped this area of Africa?
It's plains? Pastures? Livestock?

Who has transformed their fertile
land into a barren desert? War.

Aeroplanes, bombs and missiles.

For these children they might
appear as the evil forces of nature.

But we know that's not true.

We understand it's the new face
of war today:

arms traffickers, unscrupulous,
businessmen with no morals

selling their instruments of death
to democracies and dictators alike.

They sell to terrorists and
legitimate governments in Asia,

Africa and South America.

How have they illegally overstep-
ped the limits of so many countires?

Behind every modern war there
are huge, secret interests at play.

They are born, then hidden in
secret back rooms,

discretely encoded by computers.
Their tabulations show wars such

as these as blips, codes in an
overall operation, a load of weapons

seem like toys to them, a genocide
is just a number with many zeroes.

But their computers never carry
names for the dying,

never a mention of these arms,
these legs, these faces,

these empty eyes...

Hello.

Yes, that's me. Who's this?

Yes, Yes, I'll come straight away.

What is it?

My father.

- Miss Antinari...
- How is he?

He's upstairs. The doctor is there.

This is all we need. We have so
much to contend with already.

But your husband couldn't think
of anything better...

You're drunk! Be careful, don't
even try it.

Stay calm, relax, relax!

Don't even think about it, do
you understand?

It's all his fault. It's been
you that has brought him down.

You'd like to see him dead.

- Mum, He has nothing to do with it.
- This is a family meeting.

Do you mind waiting in the
other area?

Dear Anna, just a few words.

You know that I have never judged
your feelings,

but I beg that you don't confide
in Dino.

He's betrayed me, in future he'll
work against you and the family.

After I'm gone you will be in
danger.

I want you to go to my father's,
he will protect you.

I'll leave the key in a security
box at the station.

There you'll find something that
will stop Dino from hurting you.

Whatever you do, don't mention
the keys to him.

I'm warning you and in particular
for Giulia:

she is the heiress to the family
and therefore the most threatened.

- May I ask what you are reading?
- No.

You're not the type to open
other's mail.

- I thought I saw an envelope.
- You are seeing things.

Greta has woken up, she'd like
to see you.

I'll go straight away.

I expect that you'll be on your
way then.

You imagine correctly.

It didn't seem like such a great
night for you...

Lucky we arrived when we did.
He had taken a few.

Two hours later and it would've
been difficult to save him.

Is it still serious?

No, but he's still confused,
but he'll get over that.

We've cleared his stomach, and
given some heart medication.

- Can we see him now, can we speak?
- Certainly.

Stay close by and if there's any
concern then call, I'll come back.

Let's go.

Once upon a time in a faraway
land there lived a king.

He was very sad because his daughter
didn't want to grow up.

And she was nicknamed

Twiggy.

She was tiny, so so tiny.

So the King called his council
to ask their help.

He called for doctors and
scientists from all over the world.

Unfortunately, none of them were
able to make Twiggy grow.

Then one day, a young man came
to this land,

he was also very, very small,
just like Twiggy.

When she saw him, her eyes sparkled
and she cried out,

"Hey, you're small just like I am!
What's your name?"

"Twiggy" he replied. "I live in
a faraway land where

everyone is like us.

I knew that you were just like
me when I saw you. "

I can't even succeed at killing
myself.

Why, daddy? Why did you do this?

Because, one can't live a life...

can't live behind a mask all
their life.

Years pass, and after a while you
realise that it doesn't go away.

That mask has become your own face.

Stop it, stop saying those words.
Please, I can't hear anymore.

One can't say you have a great
father can you?

You are the best father in the
world.

I'm not as I seem Giulia.

The bank has consumed me,
bit by bit.

That's enough. Enough of that
kind of talk.

Go to sleep, you need to get
some rest.

How is he?

Bad. He's desperate, hopeless.
He doesn't want to live.

I don't know, it's as if... as if
something has broken up inside.

He can't seem to get it together...

Giulia,

don't be like that, come on,
it makes it worse.

- I'm going to spend the night here.
- Alright.

- May I... I'll have to take your car.
- Yes.

- Bye.
- Bye.

He's opening a security box.

There's a large, yellow envelope.

There seems to be a photo inside.
Yes, it's a photograph.

Don't let him out of your sight,
not for an instant.

It's not there!

It's disappeared!

He's accelerating...
I think he's seen me.

The order is not to lose sight
of him - at any cost!

I'll deliver him myself.

This is very important.

Swear to me that you didn't give
that letter to Dino!

I swear Carlo. I have never seen
that letter.

I don't even know what letter
you're talking about.

I know that you don't trust me,
but I am not lying to you!

- He stole it!
- Who?

Dino, he has taken it!

Taken what? The letter?
What is this letter?

I have to leave. I have to go to
my father's.

But you can't, the doctor has
said that you're still...

Don't tell anybody, but above
all don't tell Dino.

- Carlo, let me come with you.
- No... no.

- I beg you... give me a chance.
- No no... no.

Giulia will take me to the airport.

Dad, I've been thinking about
you all night.

Why did you say last night that
you're not a good father?

For me you'll always be the person...

Hopefully within a few days I
can explain it all...

But right now I can't, I have to
speak with your grandfather.

Can't you try and explain some
to me right now?

It might help you...

- If you need someone to talk to...
- Enough Giulia.

Please let it go Giulia, now's
not the time, I beg you.

Dino Alessi, Laudeo, Yfter...
We know these already,

There is another that you may
not know about, but I do.

He's a spy from the East,

an important figure they call
Leibnitz.

- This photo is a time-bomb.
- Why hasn't Carlo used it before?

I don't know exactly,

but I think the real problem is
that fellow there.

Who can that be?

A man who Carlo can call upon to
save his family,

after he decides to end it all.

He doesn't even have the face
of a criminal.

Dad, please let me go with you,
come on.

I can't just let you go off like
this...

No, love, stay here, you need to
be near your mother and Greta.

You are the oldest, you must
remember that.

- When are you coming back?
- Soon Giulia, soon.

Bye.

Here you go.

Do you like this kind of life?

Far from home for so long and
in a place you don't know well.

It's a bit strange, but that's
exactly what I like about it.

That is, I like that it is mysterious
work.

Nobody sees you, nobody hears you.

Here for example, everything is
covert, protected,

under-cover, soundproofed.

Corrado, I enjoy working on
important tasks,

even if I'm not in the limelight.

Well, you'll never receive
a medal that way.

You're wrong there: they've
already given me one.

For? For what? Oh that's it -

for secret services in aid of
government.

But I can't even show it off to
anyone.

It's in a security box in Maryland.

Occasionally, if I feel like it,
I can go and have a peek.

Well done. It must be very
satisfying.

Listen Corrado, if all goes well,

I'll have them give you a medal
as well.

I imagine you guys will also keep
that in some archive.

Naturally, in any case, when you
feel like coming to see it,

you just need to get on a plane.

If something should happen to you,

the medal can be in your memory.

We can also allow access for
your relatives.

I don't have anyone...

Well, in the name of the United
States of America,

I present you with this...

You can take care of the ribbon.

How do you manage to stay so happy?

I don't know.

Life is a grand and most beautiful
thing.

I have a painting to deliver.

They've found us! Out!
Everybody out!

- Bert! Get out!
Get out of here!

Bert!

Don't let him escape.

Over there! Over there!

Get in the cars!

Watch him every second he's
outside. We've got to take him.

Help me!

Here he is. This is Bert.

And it's my fault that he is dead.

I brought the killers...
right to his door.

Don't take the guilt, it's not
your fault.

I bring death.

I found myself in front of that
guy all of a sudden...

he wouldn't even have been
twenty years old.

And I killed him.

Why didn't he shoot first?

Perhaps because he was only
twenty years old.

- So why did I shoot?
- You did it to save yourself.

No, I did it... I did it for hate.

Do you understand?

I did it because I wanted to see
if his blood was the same colour

as Bert's, as Else's, as Paola's.

No, it's better if you hold it.

Better for someone like me to go
around empty-handed.

You hold it.

Yes, I'll get rid of it.

I hope that you find no reason
to come back for it.

It hasn't helped you yet, and
won't help you in the future.

There's no weapon that can take
away the harm that has occurred.

Not even the most recent. And
what will you do now?

I don't know, I have nothing, no
proof, and nobody will believe me.

- They have won.
- Who are "they"?

They have many faces.

but for me, they all represent
one thing: evil.

Good girl, Rosaria.

The smile of a young maiden is

what a man desires when he is
wrongly deprived of his freedom,

and then finally returned to life.

Hello Salvo.

- I brought you some sweets.
- Oh, I bet you made them yourself.

but now you've bloomed into a flower.

When your mother left you to me,
you were only a little bud,

I deserve a little pat on the
back don't I?

So, Salvo, how are things?

Well, since all this trouble with
you inside, there's been

little respect among friends.

That doesn't matter, we'll regain
that respect!

And do you know how?
With money!

Loads of it! Loads of new
business.

The more money, the more business
and the more respect.

Am I right Rosaria?

Now step on it Salvo, get us home
straight away.

Good.

Everything has more or less
remained as it was.

There won't be any need to
rearrange anything.

This way sir, your father is
waiting for you.

Unfortunately,
I have to ask for your help again.

But for me that's a pleasure.

It gives me a breath of life.

I was beginning to become lazy,
and you have awoken me.

- Listen dad, I...
- Stay a few days and we can

talk over everything.

Besides, a son that doesn't give
his father some trouble,

is not a true son.

It's been such a long time since
I heard from you that

I almost forgot you existed.

Every country sells weapons.

As a business it has always existed.

Italy sells arms to Argentina,
Egypt sells arms to Iran,

Israel sells arms to the South
African Republic,

France, Germany, Russia, the
United States.

Weapons arrive form every corner
of the world.

It's a merry-go-round that every-
one closes their eyes to.

But not me, I don't want to close
my eyes anymore.

But you're a man that takes part
in this enterprise

and you direct a firm that
circulates the money.

Money has no morals.

Are we to blame if politicians
support the development of arms?

Is it our fault that arms develop-
ment is one of the most

lucrative sectors of business?

We're not saints, but nor are we
demons.

We're just the notaries of other
people's affairs,

and this time, other people's
corruption.

I no longer want to be authorising
millions of deaths.

Our participation is... purely
technical.

We mustn't feel responsible

just because we finance these
programs that don't involve us.

What you are saying is a lie!

Our participation is killing
people! Provokes massacres!

But we have also financed hospitals,
roads, houses, schools...

Why are you pretending to not
understand?

What do you want from me?

I left you a sound set of banks,
all running efficiently.

You're to blame for the poor
business decisions.

It's easy to run efficiently and soundly

when you recycle tainted money,
when you traffic arms.

Do you want to know why I made
these

what you define as bad business
decisions?

Because I was deluded in thinking
I could break this illicit cycle

of trafficking.

I wanted to show you it was
possible

to do business without getting
your hands dirty.

Do you think you have won?

If I had won, I wouldn't be here.

Patience. You may have gained
some experience for the next time.

Now you must quickly cover that
hole at the Hong Kong bank.

I've been trying for some time,
but...

but it's like digging for gold
with your hands.

There are only two ways to take
control of this

and both ways require tackling
it head on.

On the one hand, there's Dino's
plan,

which you must admit is brilliant.

On the other hand there's the money
you can recover by underselling

to those vultures who are waiting
patiently for our downfall.

You choose.

I don't want to play head on.

That's all you can do.

You see? You've gone your own way.

but there is a penalty of ten
points. And we become your fallen

skittles. We pay the price for it.

There is one more thing I can do,

and that is retire, and abandon
the game.

- Hello?
- Hello Giulia, it's me.

- Where are you?
- I'll meet you on the highway.

Take care that no-one follows you.

What is it? Has something happened?

I'll explain it all in person.
Just don't say a word to anyone.

- Are you coming?
- Yes, of course. Right away.

Are you sure no-one has followed
you?

No, I don't think so.

What's going on? Corrado, why are
you hiding?

Oh Giulia,

- I need you Giulia.
- And I need you...

I love you, you know that?

I also love you, I love you so,
so much.

Listen, let's get away from here.

I'll take you to a spot where
nobody will find us.

- Sure.
- OK, come away with me.

Come away.

Power of attorney.

What do you plan to do with this?

What you've already set up.

Sell the current stock, give way
to the loans

write off the blackmail money,
liquidate the assets

and if it's still necessary...

We can play the overseas market,
with personal guarantees.

I'll take care of everything.

Don't worry, we'll come out of
this, you will see. Trust me

Why not go to Semio for a while?

It's so beautiful at this time
of the year.

A good rest is what you need,
it will do you good.

Everything has already been arr-
anged for your arrival.

Dad...

You wouldn't betray me, would you?

Go to Semio.

You must have faith in me,
I won't betray you.
