OCTOPUS

In a town in Sicily,

Chief lnspector
Marineo, is killed.

That same day,
there's news of another death.

Marchioness Pecci Scialoia
has killed herself.

Corrado Cattani replaces
the murdered lnspector

and moves to Sicily with
wife Else and daughter Paola.

During the investigations,
Corrado meets Titti,

the junkie daughter of
the suicide noblewoman

and gradually falls for her.

His marriage to Else has been
on the rocks for a while.

Titti tells Corrado
that a heroin trafficker

called Cirinna,

killed her mother
and lnspector Marineo.

Titti, terrified of Cirinna

and because of the drugs
he gives her,

had been too afraid
to report him to the police.

Corrado won't use her testimony
for her own safety

and provokes Cirinna

who out of frustration
sets an ambush for him.

Corrado expected it.

Wounded, Cirinna
ends up in jail.

Corrado's wife Else,
confesses she's cheated on him.

The two decide to separate,

but their child wants
to stay with her father.

Now that Cirinna
is in jail,

Titti feels safe and is trying
to detox herself.

She and Corrado
have fallen in love.

Corrado's investigations
have come a long way,

coming dangerously close

to the heart of
the criminal organisation.

Through bank audits,

the lnspector identifies
the involvement

of prominent citizens
both in the drug trade

and in the murders.

He seems unstoppable.

Until one day, Paola,
his beloved daughter,

is abducted.

Paola...

Hello.

We have your daughter.

Don't give away anything.
Don't tell anyone.

Or else your daughter
dies a horrible death.

You'll hear from us.

Calm down...

Stay calm...

I have to stay calm.

OCTOPUS

EPlSODE FlVE

Hello.

Hi... It's you.

I wanted to say hello to Paola
and see how she is.

Hello...

Corrado.

Paola... is well.

She's made friends
with some girls her age

from a good family.

She's staying with them
at the beach for a while.

It's so hot here.

What's wrong?
You sound in a bad mood.

No, I'm very busy...
I have a lot of work.

- My voice irritates you.
- Look, leave me alone...

I'm expecting
an important call.

Okay, sorry. Bye.

Bye. Sorry.

- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.

- Shall I make the coffee?
- No, thanks.

Actually,
I want to tell you that...

you needn't come every day.

Paola's staying with friends.

I'll be at work
and won't be at home much.

- Choose your hours.
- Thursday and Saturday okay?

Fine.

I'll get that.

Hello.

Well, cop,
are you going to obey?

What do you want?

First an answer.
Will you obey?

Yes.

Good. Then get dressed
as you normally would,

you bastard.

Go to the office, act like God

and give orders to the fools
you work with.

But remember that from now on,
we give the orders that count.

My daughter...

- Dad!
- Paola!

We've made friends.

She's well, for the moment.

Let me talk to her.
Just a second.

Let me talk
just for a second.

What does it cost you?
One second, please!

Prof. Laudeo went overseas.

Actually, he was expecting
your answer.

Can't I call him?

I don't know.
I barely knew him.

Why, has something happened?

No, nothing.

Nothing.

Listen, Santamaria,
I won't breathe a word,

but if you have something
to tell me, do so.

Tell me... Tell me!

Please.

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

Who are you talking about?

The fellow who asked me
to join his organisation.

Oh, yes!
Have you heard from him?

No, but I need to meet him
and talk to him

about a certain investigation.

Maybe you can help me find him.

His name is Laudeo.
Maybe you remember.

I keep ringing,
but they say he's not there.

You want my opinion?

He's all talk,
or maybe someone sent him,

in which case
he'll call you sooner or later.

If so, call me. I'm curious
about his organisation.

I'll give you his number.
79 27 52.

79 27 52. Thank you.

- lnspector!
- Good morning.

It's the first time
we see you in court.

To what do we owe the honour?

You haven't heard about
the latest developments?

Your investigations
into most of this town?

You cast your net
and it seems I'm in it too.

But since it isn't
a pleasant situation

I'll have to defend myself.

I'm just sorry I'll have to
pay for a lawyer.

I'm sure you'll find one.

I'm innocent,
so any lawyer will do.

You've got a good haul,
but be careful,

because big fish
can capsize your boat.

I'll go all the way.

I want to see you
in the dock.

Sadly for you,
I won't be defending you.

Wait...

I think you could...

- I'll see you in court.
- Don't go...

Maybe there's something we...

Something we can discuss
outside the court.

- Maybe somewhere else?
- Somewhere else?

I don't understand.

I don't see what we have
to talk about.

Make yourself clear.

Olga!

Are you going for a stroll?

I must talk to you.

Are you unwell?

Are you my friend
or my enemy?

Well...

Never your enemy.
Why do you ask?

Do you know what's happened?

I don't understand.
What's happened?

Why are you looking at me
like that?

No reason.

Corrado, wait.
Come here.

Corrado.

Inspector Cattani!

- We've been looking for you.
- I was questioning people.

- Don't you need us?
- No. You may go.

- You're without a car!
- I don't need one. Go.

Why did you come looking
for me? Go.

Go!

- May I help you?
- I'm lnspector Cattani.

- I'd like to see Don Manfredi.
- Please come in.

Only in confession

with the secret of confession
can I talk to you.

I must talk to someone
because things have happened...

I thought of you because...

I just did.

They've won.

They've found
a way to break me...

Go ahead.

I now have to decide

whether I condemn
my daughter to death.

And because
I won't condemn her,

I want you to be
my witness

for all the sins
I might commit.

Because they're sure to ask me
to do something criminal.

And I will do it.

Someone must be able
to help you.

Talk to your superiors.

No, it would just unleash
a general manhunt

and at the first hint,
my daughter is done for.

Sir, look at this.
Sicilfarmaci.

It's a joke.
Look at these bills.

Do they think we'll believe
these bits of paper?

I do.

There are countless
pharmaceutical companies

who'll issue fake bills
to hide morfine shipments.

Do you think
I'm not aware of that?

And that I'm a fool?

This might trap them.

They're cocky
and have made a false move.

So what do we do, sir?

Confiscate their
fishing boat?

Sure, sure.

But the boat isn't the issue.

At last we have the paperwork
to investigate a large company.

In a few months we might
arrest their entire board.

I don't doubt that.

Besides, up to now
you've always been right.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Am I disturbing you?
Were you in bed?

No, I had just dozed off.

- Are you tired?
- As usual.

I've thought about it all day.

Are you running any risks
because of your work?

Well, the criminals
don't exactly love me,

but nothing special.

Paola's asleep?

No, she's staying
with her friends.

Can I have the number?

Sorry, I'd rather you didn't.

What, I can't talk to her?

Look, I'd like her
not to be upset.

Paola is very upset about
what happened between us.

I won't get her to side with me,
but you mustn't either. Okay?

I just want to hear her voice.

Let's leave her in peace.

I won't allow you
to keep me from her.

We're two disfunctional parents

but for once
let's just think about her.

I'm not against you.
Believe me.

And you mustn't be against me.

We might even find out
that after all,

things aren't irreparable.

- What do you mean?
- I mean...

Our love for our daughter
might help us...

to find each other again.

Find each other? Us?

Don't joke about these things.

Trust me.

I had resigned myself.

Don't give me false hope.

It isn't false hope, is it?

Listen... when Paola
has settled down,

you and l
will discuss this honestly.

- You still trust me?
- Of course.

Certainly, Else,
but please give me some time.

If you talk to me like that

I'll do whatever
you want me to.

After all, you're right.

Give her a kiss for me.

- Will you call me?
- Yes, I'll call you.

- Soon?
- Soon... Bye.

Good night, dear.

You didn't feel like seeing me.

What makes you think that?

My insecurity.

How's Paola?

Why?

What do you mean?
I just want to know.

I was hoping
you'd bring her.

Never mind,
I'll call her tomorrow.

She's staying with a friend
at the beach...

They're studying
for their exams.

I'll call her
when she gets back.

You don't want me to be
friends with Paola.

You think I would be
a bad influence.

Why do you talk
such nonsense?

It's just that

I'm dealing with things...
I can't tell you about.

You're scared of
compromising me.

Thank you.

But I'd always like to be
involved in your danger.

And never stay to one side.

Sir...

- There's a call for you.
- Excuse me.

What do you want?

It's Cirinna.
That boy will die in jail.

- He must get out.
- lmpossible.

Look, l...

Get this straight...
I can't do everything you want.

Wait.

There's a surprise for you.

Paola...

Paola...
Darling, how are you?

When will you come for me, Dad?

Soon.

Soon, but you mustn't
be afraid. Understand?

You must be brave because
this will soon be over.

Understand, little one?

Can you hear me?
Answer. Can you hear me?

So, what about Cirinna?

Corrado, are you sure
you want to leave your wife?

She might take Paola from you.
Is that what worries you?

Sometimes it's hard
to find a way out.

- For what, specifically?
- Everything.

Inspector!

- lnspector.
- Prof. Cristina.

I've had
a threatening phone call.

What did they want?

To examine Cirinna and state
that he has acute cardiopathy

and needs urgent admission
to a private hospital.

But he's fine.

- What did you reply?
- All I could do was listen.

All the paperwork
has been done

and I should examine him
in the next few days.

So?

So tell me what
I should do, sir.

I have no intention of
giving in to the Mafia, sir.

But I need psychological
and moral support.

To know I'm not alone

and you're the only one here
who can help me.

Morally...

Morally, I'm on your side.

But in practice, unless
you obey those criminals,

all I can do is give you
an armed escort.

Is that all you can do?

Who do I go after?
Shadows?

You have to name names

and I'll act immediately.

But if you ask
for my advice as a friend,

I can't push you
to commit suicide, can l?

You...

If you do as they say,

Cirinna will stay in our hands

and you'll avoid
a dangerous situation.

You consider me a friend
and I consider you a friend

and we try to spare
our friends trouble.

It's a matter of principle.

Sometimes we can risk
our lives for a principle.

You've done it!

You see, Professor,

you and I are people
who have to survive,

in order to try to win...

in the end.

But don't worry,

my men will watch Cirinna
better in hospital than in jail.

But you've had...

certain dealings with them.

And profits and debts
must be paid, sooner or later...

if one wants
to save one's skin.

After a thorough examination
by Prof. Cristina,

this morning Sante Cirinna
was moved from jail

to Villa Rosalia clinic
for further tests.

It seems Cirinna suffers
from serious heart disease.

And now to overseas news...

Calm down, you idiot.

Calm down.

One.

Two.

Three!

Here, take a glass.
Give me one too.

Mum, what a great cure
for a bad heart!

That brings good luck!

Wet my chest, my neck...
All over.

Let's drink a toast together..

Drink up, Mum.
This is like being reborn.

Drink up.
Cheers, boys.

Cirinna!

Send everyone out.

- What does he want?
- Nothing, he's visiting.

Now don't you worry.

- What's going on?
- Nothing, Mum.

- What does he want?
- Nothing.

Are you taking him
back to jail?

No, Mum!

- What does he want?
- Nothing.

I'm not going back to jail.

Don't you worry.

This is more civilised
than that old jail, isn't it?

I know this hospital.

My daughter was going to
have her tonsils out.

I didn't know
you had a daughter.

She's 1 2.

- Did she have her operation?
- She will.

As soon as she comes home.

Is she travelling
around on holiday?

That's it.

Well then, all the best.

Removing tonsils isn't
a big deal, even for a child.

But look at me
with my heart problems

and all the trouble
I'm having with the law...

But it'll end.
I'm sure it will.

I wouldn't make
too many plans for the future

because you might die
much earlier and...

It depends
how things turn out.

I'm very confident
about my health, lnspector.

So I'd say your visit
was pointless.

We'll see.

Inspector...

The other day, I read about
that oil baron's son.

The one they abducted.

They chopped him up, poor boy.
What a disgrace.

And then I wanted to ask

if I can freely use the phone.

Hoping you won't
have me spied on.

Feel free to use it.

Paola...

Oh, you're here. I saw
your car downstairs.

Sir, we're looking like
a bunch of fools.

They were celebrating
at Cirinna's dealership

and flowers and champagne
arrived at the hospital.

While we're
seething with rage.

What would you like me to do?

Put the heavy word
on Prof. Cristina.

He'll talk.
He isn't a criminal.

There are two possibilities.

Either the exam is correct
or it's bogus.

So Prof Cristina
was scared the first time

and will be even more now.

Let's ask for
a second opinion.

Which doctor would come
and risk his life down here?

What for?
Why would they bother?

Anyway, the court has
accepted the report.

I wonder what kind
of blackmail they used

to turn a respectable man
into a criminal.

Anyway, blackmail
isn't a justification.

You're right.

You're staying here?

- Need anything?
- No.

You may go.

Where are you, Paola?

Weren't you going
to tell me that...

- Is it true he's out?
- Yes, he's in hospital.

But it's as secure as a jail.

He's watched day and night.

When he tried to kill you
why didn't you kill him?

I'm a policeman,
not a killer.

Sir, there's a call for you.

- Who's that?
- Recognise me?

Sorry for disturbing you.

It's the office.

What do you want?
It's all been done.

You get out when you like.
We can close this matter.

What's the hurry, cop?

I might be a womaniser
but I'm not a fool.

No, we're not closing anything.

I'll need to get some
satisfaction too, right?

You've had yours.
Now it's my turn.

Otherwise it wouldn't be fair,
don't you agree?

We can't have double standards!

What is it you want now?

Did you think it would all end?
It's just the beginning!

Things must go back to what
they were before you arrived.

As if you'd never existed.
Is that clear?

Now listen to me.

Titti stays at home
with her dopey manservant

and now you say goodbye
to her forever.

Or else...

Remember the oil baron's son?

It was in all the papers.

Could you please answer?

Yes, I remember.

Then do as I say.

Stupid shit.

Corrado...

- Come and eat something.
- Yes.

Pour me some wine.

I've found a solution for us...

For us three...
Me, you and Paola.

We'll go away,
but no one will know where.

You know that isn't possible.

- Is it about the money?
- No.

- I have plenty.
- No, it isn't the money.

Titti, I started a job here

and I want to finish it.

There are unpunished murders.

One of those victims
is your mother.

I can't live if I think
you might be a victim too.

Nothing will happen
to me or to you. Okay?

- Will I come out of this?
- I'm sure you will.

But you must do as I say.

There are too people
at the rehab centre.

I'd be happier
if you stayed here at home.

I'll station two officers outside.

And if he calls you...

He can call me? You said
that hospital is like a jail.

- So he's almost free!
- Don't talk nonsense.

You know his trial
will be a farce.

- You know that!
- Calm down.

Calm down and listen.
Titti, look at me.

If he should call
and ask about us,

and our conversations,

you must never let him know

that I know he murdered
your mother and Marineo.

I've never given him reason
to suspect that.

Remember, it's very important.
Okay?

And if you talk about me,

tell him I'm a pig, a bastard...

Whatever you like.

This is a vicious fight.

And we can survive
only if we're smarter.

And if you trust me.

If you tell me to jump
into the fire, I will.

But if he sends me
the stuff here...

Let him think
you're taking it again

but send it to Don Manfredi.

Call Don Manfredi
and give it to him.

Titti, will you do that?

- Do you love me?
- Of course I love you.

That will make things
easier for me.

So in keeping with
our station's traditions

we'll hear from those people
who are under investigation,

who, very kindly
and democratically

have agreed to answer
our questions.

Mr Terrasini,

how do you view
the Chief lnspector's actions?

A lot of noise about nothing.
A beat up.

A lot of noise
made for what reason?

The issue is to know
who might benefit from it.

I don't want to even think
that this dirty affair

has arisen from
a personal matter.

An impertinent question, sir.

Does the Mafia exist
or is it just a term?

There's an anti Mafia
parliamentary commission,

an anti Mafia law...

So yes, the Mafia
must in fact exist.

And what do you have to say
about drugs, sir?

I'm against drugs.

I don't use them
or need them, thank God.

I'm sure the lnspector
knows more than I do

about drug matters.

But I fear that...

falling victim
to his human qualities,

and perhaps to help someone

who's embroiled in that scene,

he himself,
has got lost in that world...

A world where neither we,

nor the majority of
our citizens has ever entered.

We have never walked
down the dark paths

he hasn't been afraid
to venture down.

Under no circumstance
could we stoop so low.

Those with a love for scandal

might confuse reality
with fiction.

The masses can be poisoned

just as much with scandal
as with drugs.

But one must not unleash
hatred with impunity.

Calls for boycotts,
like calls for lynchings

are calls for criminal actions

and crime isn't a sport.

In conclusion?

I'd say that
the worship of truth

is dangerous.

And when we're alone
in practising it,

we should learn to
exercise caution.

Nice program, sir,
don't you think?

Now we have a request,
if it isn't too much trouble.

If I may say so, our first
mistake was the fishing vessel

then came Cirinna
and his bad heart.

Now Ravanusa and Terrasini
have the wind in their sails.

Maybe you have a plan
I'm not aware of,

but unless we act,
they'll take over

and toss us into jail!

You're absolutely right,

but you see,
I needed to understand,

to find a solution.

Don't think I've been
indifferent to these events.

But now
we'll start from scratch.

One, investigate
Sicilfarmaci further.

Two, I'll have
all their transactions audited.

We must know
who's behind everything.

Put the squeeze
on all the front men.

- They're your new orders?
- And hurry.

They're old orders.
We've been hurrying for a while!

And where are the results?
I want to see real results!

How about
a couple of arrest warrants?

The Prosecutor will issue them
for Ravanusa and Terrasini.

- So why not ask him?
- This isn't the time.

What's a better time than this?

I'll be the judge of that.

May l?
The morning report, sir.

Put it there.

Are you new?

Yes, we asked for more men
so they sent agent...

Settimelli Leo, sir.

Leo...

- I had a friend called Leo.
- Yes, sir, Leo De Maria.

There's a plaque downstairs.

Died in the line of duty.

Thank you, Settimelli.

Inspector, Judge Bordonaro
on the phone.

He's a hard worker.

- lnspector, come over urgently.
- Yes, sir, right away.

I'm going to the Court.

I put the file there
when you gave it to me.

And this morning
it was gone.

The file with the statements,
and cheque butts?

Yes, everything we needed
to prosecute those people.

I suspect someone in my office,
but without any evidence...

There's no sign of forced entry.

Maybe they had a key.

Did you by chance photocopy
the documents?

There's a file in my office.

Let's go to your office
so I can get the file.

Photocopies don't count in court
but it's something.

- Good morning, sir.
- Altero, come with us.

- They're gone.
- How can that be?

- We looked at them last night.
- And now they're gone.

Martini.

- Yes, sir?
- Who was on guard duty?

- Settimelli.
- Go and get him.

Now I understand why
Ravanusa and Terrasini

were so outspoken
the other night on TV.

- Settimelli is new, isn't he?
- Yes, he's the one called Leo.

- What does he want?
- To talk to you.

Inspector.

Some papers
went missing last night.

Last night, sir?

Last night someone removed
documents from this cabinet.

- You were on guard duty.
- Yes, sir, I was.

So were you asleep?

I never sleep on duty.
But I didn't see anyone.

- So how did the papers vanish?
- I don't know.

- Wait outside, Settimelli.
- Yes, sir.

Stay with him.
I'll talk to him later.

It seems they've succeeded.

I'll get the truth out of him.

Don't turn around, sir.
I prefer anonimity.

- You're the one who calls me.
- You recognised my voice.

How did you get those files?

We told you we'd get hold of
the Prosecutor's files.

- You have someone in there?
- We have friends there.

- Judge Bordonaro maybe?
- No, but what do you care?

- Did you bring your duplicates?
- Of course.

Sure there aren't any more?

You know what'll happen
if you took other copies?

I just want to know
when I'll see my daughter

and when this will be over.

You'll see your daughter
precisely when all this is over.

Goodbye.

A theft by persons unknown
means Judge Bordonaro

must start his investigations
from scratch.

So who knows when
the investigation will be over.

We must admit, with regret,

that soap bubbles
amuse children who blow them.

They're a source of fun.

But in the end, they burst
without making a sound.

We mustn't give in, sir.

This kind of thing
happens around here.

Our file isn't the first to vanish
from a court or police station

and it won't be the last!

Let's start from scratch
as if this were day one.

We have
the two main witnesses...

You and Miss Titti
and you two can't be bought.

They'll come up against
a brick wall!

Let's keep at them.

We must slam their faces
into a toilet bowl!

- Settimelli?
- In my office being questioned.

He's still denying it,
but he'll cave in.

- So what's going on?
- We're continuing.

Inspector, they're accusing me
of stealing that file.

- It has to be you.
- No, I swear!

- You were on guard.
- No, I swear!

Just a minute. Someone else
could have done it.

Maybe from the terrace.

- You think it's possible?
- Why not? Check it out.

We must be careful
before we accuse people.

Inspector, will I be suspended?
Will I be investigated?

What a disgrace for my family!

We're a family...
I swear, lnspector!

Settimelli, stay calm!
We'll sort this out.

Thank you.

Sir, come and see for yourself,

but it's impossible
to get in from there.

It's regrettable, but Settimelli
must be investigated.

- Everything okay?
- Yes, sir.

How are things?

- Why do you ask?
- I want to know.

You could have come
and seen for yourself.

I wasn't able to.

Now listen,
Cirinna keeps calling me.

He's sure I've shut up
and been faithful

and keeps asking
"Do you love me?"

and I tell him I do.

"Do you remember?"
and I say I do!

But I can't bear
to hear that voice!

Why are we meeting here
in secret?

- We must, for now.
- Why?

Because I consider it
more appropriate.

- What are you hiding?
- A lot.

I wanted
to see you because...

Remember,
no matter what happens

I'll still think of you
as I did before.

I love you.

You must trust me.
Go with them now.

I'll call you in a few days.

Another beer?

Here's your beer.

Inspector,
I have to talk to you.

An orange juice.

They've sent me to talk.

Let's talk.

It's about...

the deputy lnspector.

- Altero?
- Did you tell him...

to look for the missing files
at the Court?

He's doing his job.

He's doing his job too well.
He's a nuisance... A big one.

So it would be better...
Understand?

What?

Send him to Palermo tomorrow
by car. We'll do the rest.

Not that.

No bloodshed. Understand?

Understand, you little shit?
No bloodshed.

I'll kill you.

I'll kill you right here.

And then I'll kill myself!
Here, in front of everyone.

Understand?

I'll kill myself.

I'll remove myself
so this will be over.

I'll kill myself!

You didn't think of that?
Then go and tell them.

Tell them I'll kill myself.
Go and tell them!

Good evening, sir.

Don't be alarmed,
we're friends.

Forgive us
for coming in like this.

We've come to get
some clothes for your little girl.

Some Tshirts, underpants,
a dress...

If you could give them to us.

Aren't you answering, sir?

You seem to be miles away.

We've come only to do
you a favour.

And also to tell you
what you should do for us.

I'm not doing anything else.

Sir, what's got into you?

What's this nonsense?

Put that gun down.

We felt something had changed
but shit, not to this point.

You're exaggerating, sir.

Life is sun and joy.
Life is life.

You look upset,
so here's what we'll do...

Let's forget about
the deputy lnspector

and that
Miss Titti Pecci Scialoia

Ieft with two of your men
the other night...

And where did she go?
Perhaps to meet you.

But we try to understand
and forgive,

but we had a deal
and a deal is a deal, sir.

You mustn't see that lady again.
That's clear, isn't it?

Now let's talk about
that gun.

You kill yourself
and the child is safe.

Well done!

But sir, are you so sure
you'll save your daughter's life?

I'm telling you before
you do something stupid.

Sir, you think you're unlucky,

but we're telling you
you're lucky

because we've come
with good news.

Come and see
how your daughter is doing.

Have you come
to take me away?

Please, I want
to go with you.

Yes, darling...

How are you?

They keep me locked up.

Day and night.

They never let me out.

You won't leave me, will you?

Just a while longer.

Listen...

How many days?

Not many, darling.

But you mustn't cry now.

You must be strong
and think of me and Mum.

Please, you must be strong.
Don't cry.

Time's up, sir.

We need to talk to Dad,
so you give him a kiss.

- Let go of me!
- Sir!

Here we are again, sir.
Please don't turn around.

Sir, it seems I'm a specialist

in legal problems
and conundrums.

So I've been asked
to find a way

to get your daughter home
and make you happy.

You saw the child was unharmed.

Yes, I saw it.

So, the way we must find,
must be totally credible.

Credible to the people,
to the press

and above all,
to the judges

because if they think
you've been coerced,

we've got it all wrong.

And if we've got it all wrong,

it'll end badly.

So, to start with, we must
demolish this castle of lies

built around Cirinna.

That shootout didn't happen
the way you said.

You lied, sir

and your lie
must be refuted publicly.

But how can that be done?

You have a great imagination.
Give me an idea.

- You need two fake witnesses.
- Good. What else?

Excuse me, sir...

Is it true you'll be
on Santamaria's program.

- Yes. So what?
- Why bother?

- He's always criticised us.
- I want to teach him a lesson.

Ignore him.
Don't go, it's a mistake.

You're making the mistake!
What's wrong, Altero?

There's something else
I must tell you.

It's about...
I've been told...

Well, some people
are saying that

a person made a scene
in a restaurant...

There was an argument
and they say it was you.

- Which restaurant?
- ll Caminetto.

- Don't know it.
- I'm sorry...

The person must have
looked like you.

Inspector Cattani,

you've turned
this town upside down.

People assumed they'd
open the morning papers

and read about arrests
and indictments, but nothing.

How do you explain that?

Well, to start with,

certain evidence
has been stolen from us.

You yourself gave the news.

- Was it firm evidence?
- Very firm, I'd say.

Allow me to be indiscreet...
What will you do now?

We'll go ahead with
our general investigation.

The judiciary will then
press ahead

in those cases where there is
enough evidence.

Like the Sante Cirinna case,
for example.

That's right.

You must forgive us,

but we too have investigated
the Cirinna case.

Go ahead.

Would you face two witnesses?

I'm afraid I don't understand,
but what's it about anyway?

Mr Armando Bolla

and Mr Gaetano Mercenise,
both truck drivers.

Their truck broke down

on the evening of 1 6 June
within sight of the place

where there was the shootout
between lnspector Cattani,

Sante Cirinna and his friend
Emanuele De Fazio.

What did you see?

Well, my friend and l,

saw very clearly,

that the lnspector here,
pulled out a gun

and first shot Mr Cirinna,
then the poor guy on the bike.

I'm busy!

He killed one guy

and we all know what
happened to the other one.

Do you realise the seriousness
of your allegation?

Of course we do.

Would you be prepared
to repeat this

under oath in court?

We did that an hour ago.

In front of the Prosecutor,
Mr...

Bordonaro.

Yes, with our hand
on the Bible.

Why did you decide
to come forward only now?

Because things
have calmed down.

- What about before?
- We were scared.

Of whom?

Let's just say
we were scared.

Were you scared
of being persecuted?

And more!

Witnesses disappear like fog
when they're a problem.

It's happened before.

We still have the issue
of Cirinna's gun,

which killed deputy lnspector
Leo De Maria.

According to what we saw...

the lnspector took it out of
the dead man's hand

and said it was Cirinna's
by putting it next to him.

So why do you think

Sante Cirinna didn't tell
anyone about this detail

which we feel
is so important?

Cirinna has always said
he wasn't the first to fire,

but no one believed him.

Mr Cattani,

what do you think of these
sensational revelations?

I must admit that your channel...

knows how to be sensational.

Mr Santamaria,
we said half an hour.

And the half hour is up.

I apologise to our viewers...

I can only apologise for this
unexpected interruption.

What's going on?
Wait, we must talk.

Leave me alone!

Those witnesses...

They've decided to talk
in the interests of justice.

And you'd do well
to go back home.

Now it's serious.

- What's going on, sir?
- Leave me alone.

Judge Bordonaro wants to
see you immediately.

Two clean witnesses
gave me the details.

Facts that no one who wasn't
there would know.

For instance,
after the shootout

an AGl P tanker drove
across the overpass.

And that's something Cirinna
couldn't have seen from below.

Let's start again.

Did you fire the first shot?

I saw them reach
for their satchels

and thought they were
reaching for a gun.

You thought?
That's unreasonable use of force.

Maybe worse, if it's proved
they reacted in self defence!

It becomes homicide.

Is it true
you swapped the gun?

It was the gun of a dead
hoodlum who didn't need it,

but I needed it,
to frame a live hoodlum. So?

It's unacceptable for an officer
of the law to act like that!

I'm afraid this is
the world we live in.

There are rumours
you're having marital problems

because of your relationship
with a local young aristocrat.

I haven't seen that person
for a while.

Some say that's the reason

for your animosity
towards Sante Cirinna.

As I said, that's all in the past.

So you admit you had
a close relationship.

Yes, I admit it.

And is there anything else
you need to admit to?

I'm getting the impression

that you've falsified facts
on various occasions.

What's your answer?

As of now,
you're under investigation.

I'm sorry.
