OCTOPUS

EPlSODE THREE

No judge was waiting
in Palermo,

you two-bit womaniser.

That's enough now.

Enough.

Are you in
the rejection phase?

Are you upset with me?

I didn't rape you.

Of course you didn't rape me!

You think
I'll count you as a trophy.

Go ahead,
I couldn't care less.

Over here.

Quick, he's injured badly.
He needs blood.

- It's ready.
- Put him in.

- Is he alive?
- Put him in.

Notify the hospital.

This one won't make it
to the hospital.

Come on, hurry.

You're one of the few
to survive such an ambush.

See if this gun is linked
to Leo De Maria's death.

- Over here, lnspector.
- lnspector...

Mr Cattani... over here, please.

I'd like to see you smile

but you avoid looking at me.

Are you embarrassed?
Well, I'm embarrassed too.

- One?
- Thanks.

Next time, you'll see...

There won't be a next time.

Can I make a call?

You've dialled
your home number.

How stupid of me.

I could wake my daughter
and the maid.

I wanted to see
if my husband's home.

- You're edgy.
- Very.

Our mutual friend,
the head of Cabinet,

tells me you'd like
that key position

that would place you
right at the top.

You know what I mean.

A man like you
shouldn't be kept

in the shadows for too long.

Look at these names.
They're all in the organisation.

Honest men,
for honest causes.

I see they're all prominent
in public life.

Politicians,

people in the military,
in finance, in the media...

Here's one I met
when I was at university.

In short, they're
the creme de la creme.

Wouldn't you like your name
with theirs?

We'll all back
your appointment.

Inspector Cattani from Sicily.

Did you say I was in?
Please excuse me.

Hello...
Good evening, Corrado.

I was in an ambush
an hour ago.

An ambush an hour ago?
Yes, I want to hear about it.

I have the Forensic report.

The gun used against me

is the gun that killed
Leo De Maria.

The person responsible

is called Sante Cirinna,
a local petty crim.

We've arrested him

and something will happen

because Cirinna is like
an uprooted tree

with roots that are so long

that they may
lead to the Marineo case.

Yes, but take care.
Keep a low profile.

- Don't worry.
- And the Marineo case?

As I said, things are developing
and something should happen.

I'll keep you informed.

I must congratulate you.
You deserve a medal.

- Thank you, sir.
- Again, well done. Bye.

So you have important people
in every Department.

How does our mutual friend
see my appointment?

- He'll be totally in favour.
- As he too belongs to...

Suffice to say he'd be pleased
if you accepted.

With your talent and knowledge
of men and things...

Knowledge which is priceless.

I see.

So shall we say

that the financial possibilities...

That your group's resources
are virtually limitless.

Precisely my point.

Altero, come in.

As a policeman,

what you've done
is even more serious.

But if I look at
the human aspect,

I can find
some justification.

Shall I go on
or will you help me?

Very well, I'll continue.

I'll start from the beginning.

It's evening.
You're in your office.

You get a call from a woman.

It's Titti Pecci Scialoia
in tears, who asks for help.

You rush there
and find two bodies.

Eleonora, Titti's mother,

and lnspector Marineo.

I heard them talking
and then arguing.

Marineo had been transferred
and was leaving with his family.

He was abandoning my mother.

She couldn't accept
being betrayed

and cast aside like that.

There was a scene
with insults and threats.

Then she shot him.

Then all of a sudden,

she turned the gun on herself
and committed suicide.

Did he come in his car?

I don't know.

Yes, his car is there.

All right.
Try to stay calm now.

I'll find a solution.
I'll find one.

You took Marineo's body
to the outskirts of town,

returned to the office

and waited for someone
to raise the alarm.

And when it happened,
you raced there to do your duty.

You were faced with
the classic scene you'd staged.

An inspector gunned down
in a criminal ambush.

No more film crews.
That's enough.

Off you go!

Call headquarters
to send Forensics.

The set up had worked.

Now tell me why
you did all that.

Marineo was a superior man.

And you didn't want it known

he had
a torrid affair with a woman.

I didn't want him remembered
as someone killed by a lunatic.

- Who then killed herself.
- It wasn't a fitting end.

I had to save
his reputation.

You owed Marineo a lot.
You lived in his shadow.

I admired him. That's all.

Marineo saved your life in '72
during a shootout.

I read that in your file.

Gratitude came second.

Firstly there was respect

for a man who didn't deserve
to be branded forever

because of a seedy end.

Now I'm ready to face
all my responsibilities.

Altero...

Sit down.

You saw it
as a private murder,

but you wanted it
to look like a Mafia killing.

You staged a deception

that happens to correspond
to reality.

- I don't follow you.
- It isn't a private murder.

- What is it?
- A Mafia killing.

Now you've really lost me.

Titti lied to you.
She couldn't tell you the truth.

There was a fight that night,
but not what you think.

Titti was asleep.

Then she heard distant voices
through the wall

and witnessed
a sudden tragedy.

Marineo and Eleonora found out
that Cirinna got Titti onto drugs

and threatened him.

Cirinna's brutal reply
was murder.

He then forced Titti to call you
with a fake version of events.

And Titti called you.

You believed her.
You had no reason not to.

Case closed.

The story changes, but it's still
a private crime of passion.

No, Altero.
You know when Cirinna fired?

When Marineo said
he'd expose everything.

Everything?

Their business dealings.

Marineo had no business
with Cirinna

or anyone like him.

You searched Marineo's flat
after his death.

Were you scared there was
proof of his liaison?

Letters, items of clothing?
Tell me.

I too, searched that flat.

I found this cheque book
in the fake name of Fiordaliso.

- So what?
- Blank butts.

Marineo wasn't afraid
of cheques bouncing.

I'm sure that is
investigation material.

One of these butts
has been cancelled.

Here.
"Cancelled".

When you make a mistake,
you cancel the cheque.

Come here and take a look.

We got a handwriting expert.

This is Marineo's writing,
without a doubt.

This cheque book was his.

Stop living in fantasyland.

If you'd known him
you wouldn't think that.

- He was corrupt.
- Not true. Stop it!

- Accept it.
- No!

There must be another
explanation. I'll find it.

There...

In that folder.
Go and check it.

There's the evidence.

I was wounded
inside a burning car.

He got me out.
Would you have been so brave?

Maybe not, but it doesn't
make him clean.

All it takes is to
accept a dangerous game.

You do it once and then...

There's a lot of work
to do here.

If you want to help me...

No, I must face up to
my responsibilities.

Later on.

I still need you now.

Why didn't you arrest Cirinna

using Titti's evidence
against him?

As an addict
she has no credibility

and I don't want
someone to kill her.

That's why I set
that trap for Cirinna.

- You ran a big risk.
- But I was the hunter, not him.

Now we must find
Leo De Maria's killer

and get him to confess that
Cirinna gave him the gun.

It's almost daybreak.

The bar down here will be open.
How about a coffee?

Sir...

- lnspector! Do come in.
- Thank you.

When I arrived in this town,
you told me to look for a gun.

Here you are.
I found it.

Cirinna fired at me
with this gun

and it was used to kill
Leo De Maria.

Thank you for interrupting
my breakfast.

This is very good news.

- What about the Marineo case?
- We're on the right track.

But I need time
to see things clearly.

She's going through
withdrawals.

Titti...

Cirinna won't
torment you again.

He won't torment you again.

It's over.

Understand?

You'll never see him again.

Now try to stay calm,
my dear.

Stay calm.

There.

The radio just gave news
of the shooting.

Some big fish will have
a rude awakening today.

Four cars are ready
for the arrests.

We've sent the others
to the suburbs as a decoy

so no one will know where
we really are, as you wanted.

That's the list of
arrests to be made.

All right.

No, wait.
This gentleman gets taken off.

- That man is a dealer!
- Yes, but he's a banker.

Do bankers have immunity
like politicians?

Today we'll arrest
Cirinna's group of dealers.

Those down at the port,
the station...

For the moment,
the banks can sleep tight.

We must make
the top brass think

we're after publicity
and going after the little fish.

We mustn't touch the banks.

When you do,
you need serious evidence

because they've marked you.

- And they'll blow you up.
- Absolutely.

Your wife's here, sir.

Else!

What brings you here?

Come in.

Madam...

Why are you here?

I waited for you all night.

Then this morning I heard
on the radio what had happened.

- You didn't call me.
- Sorry, darling.

I was about to. Anyway,
all's well, as you can see.

- Thanks for coming.
- We must talk.

Sir, I'll go and give
the orders.

- Well?
- I have to talk to you.

So you said. I must go,
they're waiting for me.

It isn't easy.

Why isn't it easy?
Did something happen to Paola?

No, she's fine.

It's something about me.

When you told me
you'd be out all night

you know what I thought?

That you had one of your
appointments with that girl.

What?

I thought...

"He's with her"

"and I'm all alone."

I didn't want to be alone.

I went to see Santamaria.

Sorry, sir,
but you said 9.30 on the dot.

I'll be right there.

We'd better talk at home.

You're coming home?

Of course.

Cars 7 and 9 with the sergeant.
3 and 4 with Soriano...

Inspector!

They've found something.

Inspector, they found something.

Yes, I'll bring it tonight...

Bastards! You bastards.
I'll show you!

Hi.

Sorry, this isn't
the time to talk.

- I've waited for 2 days.
- I haven't slept for 2 nights.

What's to discuss?
You made your choice.

You pushed me.

You're not a puppet, Else.
You did what you wanted to do.

And you with that girl?
Try and deny it.

Nothing happened.

I don't like betrayals
so nothing happened.

I would have
told you in advance...

unlike what you do.

Sorry, I have to sleep now.

Cheating isn't just
going to bed.

You probably cheated on me
more with your thoughts.

Actions count.

Great! So you can
treat me like a whore.

I never used that word.

Nor did it enter my head.

You didn't consider
what my life has been.

Living in different homes,
alone like a piece of furniture.

And if someone took me away
you wouldn't even notice.

Can't you see that
I went with Santamaria

out of desperation?

I make mistakes

because I don't know
how to act.

Help me, please.
Don't just be picky.

Calm down.

We'll talk later.

- Any good?
- Not bad.

- Hello.
- It's lnspector Cattani.

Oh, lnspector, good morning.
Congratulations.

I'd like to interview you.
Rome and Palermo want one...

And I'd like to interview you
here at the station.

Is it an invitation or a summons?

- Tomorrow afternoon okay?
- Certainly. I'll be there.

Goodbye.

Yes?

Hi, it's Nanni.

Hi.

- Is Mum there?
- I'll see.

- Who is it?
- It's for you.

- Who is it?
- It's Nanni.

- Did you tell your husband?
- Yes. Why?

Great! He's summoned me
to his office tomorrow.

At least I know
where I stand. Bye.

Put a foot wrong, Nanni?

Put on a record and shut up.

What do you want
from Santamaria?

It's work related.

You may not know, but he has
lots of shady friends.

It's best not to talk
in front of the child.

She's wiser
than the two of us put together.

So she may as well
know everything

as she's suffering
without knowing why.

You look uneasy.

Well, after all,
this is a police station.

But you have nothing to hide.

Would you interview me
about the Cirinna case?

Yes. It'll be an honour.

Here's a list of questions.
And I'd like...

- Yes?
- I'd like a full studio.

Full of people that count.

Ravanusa the banker,
Terrasini the lawyer,

and the others.

I'd like to have a debate
and ask them questions.

Can I count on you?

Yes... I think so.

I can send out the invitations
for Sunday afternoon.

You will have your triumph, sir.

Good.

I'm sure you'll organise
it admirably.

You're very talented
even though you're vile.

- Pardon?
- I said "vile".

You've stopped smiling?

We'll discuss this later.
Go and prepare your broadcast.

Which tie should I wear?
Light or dark?

The striped one.

It's more refined.
It's for the afternoon.

I know I'll be bored to death.
What a pain in the arse.

Giuseppe, which stupid
shoes did you give me?

Yesterday you said
they're comfortable.

Can't you see the colour?
You must be an idiot!

My Sunday is already ruined

and all I need
is this halfwit!

You're a halfwit!

Ten minutes to go.

Be patient, sir.
They'll all turn up.

I've just remembered there's
a Bellini concert somewhere.

Let's go to air.

- What, like this?
- That's right.

- You don't like it?
- There's better.

Welcome to our
"Opinions Unplugged".

Our guest today is
lnspector Corrado Cattani,

our town's Chief lnspector.

So, it's over to him.

Thank you.

Once, talking to
an assistant of mine,

I compared our job
to that of a fisherman,

who slowly pulls in his net

without knowing
which fish he'll catch.

I also said that the danger
of this type of fishing

is that once the fish
spot the net

they might flee
before being caught

and alert each other
to the danger.

Yes, he told me that too.

I then met a priest

who told me about
a new kind of rosary...

I'd be scared to go on TV,

but he's clever and brave,
isn't he?

Because it criminally links

so many different levels
of our society.

And finally, when l
arrived in this town,

a high official

told me to look for a gun.

We did find it

and it's the same gun

that killed deputy lnspector
Leo De Maria.

We also caught the killer,

but one question remains...

Why was Leo De Maria killed?

I've decided to follow a thread...

Perhaps it's imperfect
and incomplete,

but I believe it crosses
our entire town

with its venom.

And it's behind the link

that ties people and businesses,
both legal and illegal,

from murderers to officials...

money.

That thread will perhaps
allow us to find out

why Leo De Maria was killed.

And that's the thread
the police will follow.

I had invited
the town's notables

to ask for their help,
but none of them turned up.

They've offended the State and
will receive an apt response.

Very forceful.

Wait on, colleagues!

What I'd like to achieve,

is what is generally
not achievable.

That is, close co-operation
between all three corps.

Briefly, the idea is
to exchange information

about people who suddenly
become millionaires

and the names of their banks.

Have you told the Prosecutor?

We'll do that when
we need leave to proceed.

So you want an inquiry
into people and circles?

Yes and making sure
there are no leaks.

Of course. What happens once
we have the information?

Whoever wants to act will act

and whoever wants
to look on, no hard feelings.

Deputy Inspector
Leo De Maria

fallen in the line of duty

Come into my car, sir.
I want a word.

I apologise for not attending

your program on television
but I had a bad cold.

- You informed the Ministry.
- Oh, yes...

Just to have an opinion,
a reaction.

- They wanted to view the tape.
- Naturally.

You must understand
it isn't usual

for an official to make
certain statements on TV.

But it went down well in Rome.
They liked it.

After all, why not make use
of these new methods?

They checked it out
and approved.

Yes, they approved.
You showed style.

And as old fashioned as I am,
I admit that.

They've also told me

about this new initiative
of yours.

Your investigation into
sudden wealth.

What a wonderful term
they've come up with...

"Sudden wealth"!

Terrific, but it's a pity
you don't keep me informed.

I would have, but rumours
travel so quickly here.

Deep down, you couldn't
give two hoots

that I was told certain things.

Actually, you must be pleased.

Now you know
who the gossips are!

But don't think there's
a conspiracy against you.

Not at all. Conspiracy
is too strong a word.

You see, sir, as I told you,
I'm an old fashioned man

with a traditional
legal education.

- Very positive, though.
- Much obliged.

You see, sir,
I'm vain enough to believe

I can read into your project.

An ambitious project.

You're not going to prosecute
the crime when it happens,

as a Chief lnspector should.

But you want to flush it out
with your laws,

adapt it to your personal views,
as dictated by those views.

If I may say so.

You don't wait for
the criminal,

you go looking for him,
convinced that you'll find him

because you're moralistic.

But that's very dangerous.

You create criminals
and crimes where there are none.

But pretending there is honesty
where there is none

can be just as dangerous.

Let's say one should find
a happy medium.

Goodbye, my friend.

Anna, come to my place.

Work does you good.
You're not so pale.

I'm not crazy about
healthy, burnt skin.

I like looking pale, and wilted.

And I have a strong dislike
for healthy, dark people.

- You're snarly today.
- You're a hypocrite and a pig.

Really?

You're not here for me,
are you?

No doubt it's about
your investigation. Isn't it?

Seeing you have to arrest
the whole town, enlist me...

As an informant...
You call them spies, don't you?

Stop looking at me
like that,

Iike a doctor
scrutinising his patient.

You're so tolerant
and understanding!

You're certain you're a winner
and I'm a loser.

You're talking
a lot of nonsense.

- So ask your questions.
- I have no questions.

- So what have you come for?
- To see you.

- That's not true.
- It is.

Come on, guys,
there's a meeting.

Meeting.

- You can't sleep?
- No.

Do you want to sit down?

- Tea?
- No.

Will you be happy
to hear I'm leaving?

Happy? Why should l
be happy?

This has brought
only humiliation to both of us.

I can no longer
go on like this.

I'm not sending you away.

But I can't...

I can't get over
what you did to me.

Family is something important.
It isn't a game.

- But I won't send you away.
- I don't want to be here.

I don't feel this is
my home anymore.

I'll leave with Paola.

Being apart might help
make things clearer...

to me and to you.

Good night, Corrado.

Good night.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Actually, I'll call you
every day.

- Paola, you must go.
- No, I won't go!

No, I won't
get on that ship.

Is that clear? No!

Paola, please.

Please, you must go.
Come here.

You must leave.

I won't go.

Please...

Paola, come here!

If you chase me
I'll jump into the water.

Wait.

If Paola prefers it this way...

Try to be with her.

I'll get her
to leave tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Goodbye.

My daughter will need
your office till lunchtime.

Sure, that's fine.

Come in, you.

Come in, the office is all yours.

We need 5 minutes alone...

Certainly.

So...

Let's make a deal, shall we?

You leave and go to Mum.

Then from time to time, you can
visit me for a few days.

Agreed?

I'm not going to leave.

I didn't like that scene
at the port today.

- It wasn't a scene.
- Civilised people talk!

Then you should have asked me
where I wanted to go.

What about the pain
you caused Mum?

I'm sorry.

- We'll discuss it at home.
- I won't leave.

Look, Paola...

Great!

I'm lnspector Cattani's,
daughter. Hello.

Hello, Miss.

"Dear Mum,
sorry if I upset you"

"but it's for the best."

"Dad needs someone"

"to stay close by him..."

"I'll keep an eye on him."

Why did you take
a row boat?

I thought I was still 20.

- Do you feel old, Dad?
- No, not old...

But I used to be
in better condition.

- Poor Dad.
- No way!

And don't give me
that look of pity.

Sometimes it feels like
you're my big brother.

Me, your brother?

Wouldn't you like that?

Well, tell me...

What kind of sister
would you be?

I'd always keep you close.

I'd nurse you
when you're sick,

I'd talk to you and want
to know your thoughts.

I've never talked
to you much, have l?

I've never asked about
your thoughts.

It doesn't matter.

So let's hear it...

What do you think?

About what?

About me.

No.

Why?

I'll tell you someday. Okay?

Okay, little sister.

I've got 60 names among
those who got rich quick.

Well, well...
You've got some very big fish.

Do you think we'll succeed?

I mean, people have been
investigated before.

- But it all ended badly.
- In bloodshed.

You should be more cautious.

Any news of Cirinna?

He's hiring
a top defence team.

What about
Anna Caruso's brother?

He's had the flu.
The "fear virus"!

Did you tell the jail
to watch him?

I remind
the superintendent daily.

Tell me, how do you
cope with this heat?

I have a fan in my office.

Show me your papers.

You were speeding.

What's your excuse?
What's your answer?

- You should be at the Centre.
- I told them clearly.

I'll stay only if
it isn't a jail.

When I feel like going out
and seeing someone, I do.

You haven't been around.

Don't you want to see me?

And don't tell me
you can't spare the time.

I never said that.

You see, in my job,
I have to plunge my hands

into so-called human filth.

So I have to resort to

subterfuge, lies
and compromises.

Now I wouldn't like

to behave towards myself
like that

particularly in my private life.

So one might end up alone.

I was told
your wife has left.

Won't you tell me why?

Something...

happened.

And I didn't forgive her.

I see.

You...

You're afraid of despising yourself
if you do what she did.

No, I don't want to abuse
my position towards you...

your weakness and loneliness.

Oh, I get it.
You're someone

who has to constantly
put themselves on trial.

You always need to
respect yourself.

If I think about it,
it makes me laugh.

I've never been judgmental
about myself.

I don't think I have
any self esteem.

I think I belong to...

what you call human filth.

- Yes, I think I'm human filth.
- I wasn't referring to you.

Yes, it's no big deal.

Take me as a brief fling.

- It wouldn't be a fling.
- Who says?

I might tire of you
in a couple of days.

Here we are talking about

trials, respect,
human filth...

I want to be with you
and you want to be with me.

Let's go to my place.

Today...

I didn't shoot up.

I went through
a terrible patch...

I wanted to go out
and get some stuff.

But I came
looking for you instead.

Come.

Well?

- It was beautiful.
- For me too.

Listen...

Careful,
Grandpa's watching.

Among his many titles were
Lord of the Cugno

and Baron of Quattronze,
by the sea.

He gave half his estate
to my mother and l

and spent the rest
on women and gambling.

Reprehensible!

He was very elegant.

He got fabric for his suits
from London

and his tailor from either
Naples or Rome.

He lived the good life,
didn't he?

One of my ancestors
was a viceroy.

Then there are 2 cardinals,
a bishop,

a condottiere
and 3 generals.

That uncle died in an asylum.

- It's hereditary.
- Come on!

That's my mother's dwarf aunt.

She never
got off her horse.

She was too embarrassed.

She lived well from the 4
funeral parlours she owned.

Look, I was born in here

among monks and servants
who said Mass daily

in the private chapel

on cloths sewn by the nuns
of the S. Spirito convent.

The years went by
without me realising it

and I grew up not bothering

to look outside the window.

Then came the boredom,

heroin, Cirinna...

my mother's death.

But now...

now I have you.

When we come to live here

I'll have the gilded carriage
brought from the stables.

Forgive me, but I'm scared
to live without you now.

You partly condemned yourself.

I hate you for that.

You have no right to save me

other than the love
I have for you.

I should have died
before meeting you.

Now I no longer want to.

- Why aren't you in bed?
- I fell asleep here.

Bye.

Are you angry?

No, but I don't like you
waiting up for me.

But call me if you'll be late
or else I worry, okay?

Okay.

Mum rang from Milan.

How is she?

She was fairly calm.

Poor Mum,
she gets her words wrong.

She means to say something
nice but it comes out bad.

She's a bit confused.

But it's not her fault.
She must be tired.

Dad...

Yes?

Are you very angry with Mum?

No...

But you know,
she's a bit confused

and because I am too...

Maybe you are too.
You mustn't torment yourself.

Here. Eat it in the morning.

You angry at me
because I stayed?

I'd feel lost without you
in this house.

Don't exaggerate, Dad.

Goodnight.

Did you see your girl again?

That beautiful girl?

Else, that girl isn't to blame
and you know it.

What's she like
now you know her better?

She's insecure and vulnerable.

- Is that why you love her?
- Maybe.

- Did you see her tonight?
- Yes, I saw her.

Did you make love?

Yes, we made love.

So are you happy?

Else... please.

I'm not crying.

I hate you... I hate you!
