And anyway, Ben Dhahab 761 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,189 may not be a false name, maybe he was called Ben Ahmed Moussa. 762 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,432 Who knows, with these Arab names! 763 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,199 - I'm going back to Vigata. - Wait! What should we do? 764 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,436 You're asking me? Well, find out, for example, 765 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,518 who he knew here in Mazzara, if his papers were in order 766 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,915 you need me to tell you?! 767 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,634 No, but it's nice to hear you say them. 768 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,148 - Let's go. - Where? 769 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,833 To talk to a someone who knew the the guy, whatever his name was! 770 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,948 Well, I did notice something was wrong.. 771 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,037 I called Tunis yesterday to inform the family of the tragedy. 772 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,955 When I told the father that Ben Dhahab was dead, 773 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,753 he laughed and said Ben Dhahab was in the next room. 774 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:04,989 Then he hung up. 775 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:11,037 So what? Maybe there are two men with the same name? 776 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:12,315 Sure! 777 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,159 Look, does the name Ahmed Moussa mean anything to you? 778 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:19,874 Ahmed Moussa? What does he have to do with this? 779 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,393 We have reason to believe Ben Dhahab was in fact Ahmed Moussa. 780 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:26,675 What?! 781 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,593 Why, what do you know about Ahmed Moussa? 782 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:39,235 He's a terrorist. There's a reward out for him, but no-one 783 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:40,713 even knows what he looks like. 784 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,633 So I helped Ahmed Moussa?!! 785 00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,076 Whatever way you look at it, something's not right. 786 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,991 - What do you mean? - Forget about how he got on 787 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,759 board the boat. Ahmed leaves Mazzara with a specific aim, 788 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:55,078 we don't know what. Did he tell the captain what he was doing? 789 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,312 I think he did, and that they were all in it together, 790 00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,749 otherwise, they could have changed course 791 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,438 - and put him off the boat. - He was a terrorist, 792 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:02,629 he could have forced them at gunpoint. 793 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,274 Yes, but then, once on land, the Captain and his crew would 794 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,072 have gone to the police 'cause they had nothing to lose. 795 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:11,069 Let's go on. Assuming Ahmed didn't plan to get himself killed, 796 00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:12,914 there are only two possibilities 797 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,912 either he wanted to land illegally on the Tunisian coast; 798 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,438 or he had to meet someone 799 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:20,754 face-to-face. 800 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,951 - I find that more convincing - Me too. 801 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:24,393 But the unexpected happens. 802 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,238 The Coast Guard motor-boat. 803 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:30,233 Exactly. At this point there are many possibilities! 804 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,552 Let's say the Coast Guard isn't aware that Ahmed is on the boat. 805 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,352 They order them to stop, they try to get away, but are fired at... 806 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,948 ..and Ahmed Moussa gets hit by chance...it sounds like the 807 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:44,991 Warren report on the Kennedy assassination. 808 00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:50,200 Well, try to this one: Ahmed instead of meeting the guy he was 809 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,713 expecting, meets another, who shoots him. 810 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,916 Or he meets the right guy, but they argue and he shoots him. 811 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:58,434 With the machine gun? 812 00:57:58,520 --> 00:57:59,953 What are you talking about, the machine gun? 813 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,638 It could gun down a plane! 814 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,908 Are we sure it was the Tunisian Coast Guard? 815 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,553 I saw the photo of the woman on TV, the Tunisian who disappeared 816 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:13,595 3 days ago.
