OCTOPUS 2

EPISODE SIX

Taking over from
the late Mr Cannito,

I need to surround myself

with people I know
very well, shall we say,

and who know me very well.

I understand.

And you know
theres an inquiry

into Mr Cannitos death

and the circumstances
surrounding it.

Can you contribute
to this inquiry?

I think not.

At this point
it's up to you...

Either join the police force again
or accept a different position.

I've made my choice.

I'll take a year off

to have a good look around
and decide what to do.

I think thats the best
and most honest solution.

Sebastiano was a weak,
fragile man.

He acted tough
to mask his anxiety.

I'm not sure why,

but I realised
his conscience bothered him.

- He never said anything?
- Never.

A few months ago, we went
to town to buy flower seeds.

He was in such a good mood
that we decided to walk back.

He was happy,
but suddenly he became gloomy.

He stopped next to
a blackberry bush

by the side of the road.

He started to pick them.

He rubbed them clean
with his fingers

and silently offered them to me.

I found the courage
to ask him to confide in me

but he clammed up
even more.

Sebastiano was ambitious.

That was his greatest flaw
that lead him astray.

- Could he have stopped...
- I don't know.

I mean, before punishing
himself like that?

It's hard to tell.

I really hoped
you would save him.

Yes...

- But it was impossible.
- Yes, I know.

Now lets go and get
what you came here for.

- Thank you, madam.
- Come now, Corrado...

A few days before his death
he brought me a briefcase.

Many have been looking
for those papers.

They rang from the Ministry

and even that vile fellow
Laudeo contacted me.

There was even an
attempted break in.

They looked all over,
but it wasn't here.

The briefcase, madam.

Thank you so much, Mother.

Don't mention it.
Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I don't know whats in it

and why so many people
tried to get hold of these papers.

But whatever it's about,

for Gods sake, please use it
for good and not for evil.

Can I ask
why youve given it to me?

I think my husband
would have given it to you.

The man who replaced Cannito...
What's he like?

It's not looking good.

He's the type who,

if you leave him
a bag of money on the table,

he'll return it
and maybe report you!

Just a minute...

we must think things over.

We could resume
negotiations with Laudeo.

No! Until were clear about
whats happening,

we should keep
a low profile.

- The project goes on hold.
- No, thats wrong.

I can explain why,
if you'll listen.

He's right.

When I heard
that Cannito fellow was dead,

I was happy.

Then Terrasini opened my eyes.

Wed better stop.

Cant you see we run the risk
of losing millions of dollars?

The financial institution

that you own

has already received
more than 30 million dollars.

And this money is deposited
in your bank...

- It's here, at our disposal.
- But of course.

Yes, yes...

but I must take that money
back to America.

My institution is accountable
for it at any time.

But I don't believe
we should stop the deal.

If anything,
we should speed it up.

No, well do
as Terrasini says.

I've already told New York
to suspend the deposits.

I see.

I see. You've made
an irrevocable decision

which I find disconcerting.

What I feared
is about to happen.

So?

We must prepare for the worst.

I'm ready, Daddy.

You're always good humoured.
You don't worry.

Why should I?
I have faith in you.

You're so young.

So what should I do?

Take everything
out of our safety boxes.

Don't worry, my love.

Thank you.

Wait, Giovanni.

- Here.
- Thank you, sir.

- The briefcase you left me...
- Yes.

Mr Cattani, if you get
any calls or any mail,

do you have
a new address?

Not for now, but I'll
let you know about the mail.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, sir.

- Enjoy your meal.
- Thank you.

With the project on hold,

I'm afraid no money
is coming into my bank

and whats more,

Carrisi and Terrasini want
a large sum of money returned.

I'm in dire need of
an injection of funds.

All I need is the approval
of the technical commission.

Is it a large shortfall?

- It's worrying.
- I'll see what I can do.

- Can I count on you?
- I'd say so.

A few commission members
belong to my organisation.

One of our specialties,
gentlemen.

Magnificent!

- Have you been here before?
- No, it's my first time.

But I'll be back.

This is their specialty.

Lobsters flown in live
from Sardinia

and cooked with our chefs
secret recipe.

- Perfect.
- Thank you. Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Cannitos death
has frightened them

but they caused it
with that scandalous pamphlet.

Cannitos death is a nasty
business for all of us.

Yes.

It's put your bank
in serious trouble

and I'm worried
for other reasons.

Men in power

with a streak of moralism
are dangerous

and Cannito was one of them.

I'm afraid hes left a trail
he should never have left.

But you're well protected

by that precious piece
you have in your archive.

- The jewel in your collection.
- It's my old age insurance.

You're sure
it's an only piece?

Absolutely.

And you won't sell it?

At least not for the moment.

So whats it about, officer?

That's easy.
It's a list.

Maybe names
that have been transliterated

letter by letter, keeping
the spaces between words.

Couldn't you put it
more simply?

Each letter has been
replaced by another one

a number of places
away in the alphabet.

Lets say A with D
which would be 3 spaces,

or R with Z,
which would be 5.

So we just have to
reconstruct the spaces.

Not so simple.

Each letters position has
been chosen by the computer.

Unless we give the computer
the sequence, we cant go back

and were none the wiser.

I'm sure theres
a floppy disk

with the sequence of numbers,
which is the key to decipher it.

You put the disk in the computer,
type the letters in the list

and on the monitor
you'll see the decoded letters.

Theres evidence of corruption

and the complicity of
Laudeos organisation Itala.

Arms and oil trafficking,
exporting currency...

But particularly, collusion
with shady political aims.

Who'll vouch for
it's authenticity?

Maybe you don't realise
who I am.

- I realise perfectly well.
- So shouldn't we meet?

Not much is known about
this Professor Laudeo.

He's mysterious,
always in the shadows...

In the documents
I want to give you,

you'll see who Laudeo is
and what moves around him.

A man called Maurilli,

that pseudo journalist
who was found dead,

had promised revelations
about Cannito

who was tied to Laudeo.

Are these the same documents?

No, they're the other face
of the coin.

Maurillis documents were
used to blackmail Cannito

but these documents
were used by Cannito.

Did you give them to Maurilli?

I know what you think
of Maurilli

but I had no option
at the time.

Yes, I understand.

But now I must see
both sides of the coin.

- The dossier is complete.
- One last question, Cattani.

Why are you handing
these documents to me?

Because theres
a document in code.

Probably all the list of names
I want to decipher.

I think theres a complete map

of the people involved in plots.

If it's published,
someone is bound to panic

and I hope to get hold of
the key to the code.

Maurilli butchered,

Ferrettis bizarre death,
Cannito committed suicide...

Do you want to be
yet another corpse?

I'm counting on
your confidentiality.

I cant afford to die yet.

You can count on me
not disclosing my sources,

but this is dynamite.

It'll explode
and you'll be the first target.

Many will be out for revenge.
Think it over carefully.

Publish it.
I cant stop now.

- A call for you, sir.
- Thank you.

Excuse me.

Yes...

Hello, there!
What's new?

Just a minute.

I'll take it in the booth.

I'll be right back.

Hello, it's me.
I'm listening.

As I was telling you
I'm forced to publish it.

- Why?
- You know him...

He's our top columnist.

He won't be dictated to.

Don't think I didn't try.
I did my best.

He'll kick up a stink
if I don't publish it.

Think of
the stink if you do!

Everything will collapse.
Do you hear me, you idiot?

I cant go against
the journalists.

Besides, it's pointless,
they're photocopies.

If we don't publish it
others will.

I saw the dossier.
It's authentic.

Theres even a coded list of
Itala members I have to publish.

How can that be?
Who gave him the dossier?

He wouldn't say.
He says hes bound by secrecy.

Dickhead!
You're a bumbling idiot.

Why do you think
I put you there?

- Whens it due out?
- Tomorrow.

Hello, it's Laudeo.

Can we meet right away?

I'm selling the most prized
piece in my collection.

47...

48...

49...

50.

Only you could get
$5 million in under 2 hours

with the banks closed.

It's been ready for months
for any emergency.

I think we get along so well
because were both far-sighted.

Yes, I'm sure thats it.

Heres the key.
It's all yours.

Excuse me, sir,

may I ask why
youve decided to sell it?

Tomorrow everyone will
read Cannitos dossier.

So I must leave
the country immediately.

And youve offered it to me.

Were you sure I'd buy it?

You're a player who needs
to double the stakes.

But you need to
win back your heavy losses.

You can pay a lot.

Why didn't you offer it
to your protectors high up?

Because they cant afford to pay
what you can pay.

See that? A secret organisation
thats involved with the Mafia.

- The names are in code.
- But three of them arent.

Well never know
whats behind it all.

Whos that?

Room service.

Take it easy.

What do you want?

I know about it. If thats
what you came for, you can go.

Don't answer.

Actually, tell the desk
to hold all your calls.

Go on!

Drop that gun.

Don't move
and don't try that again.

Now answer that phone.

Hello... No phone calls.

I'm not available.

Is it money you want?

No, I'm not interested
in your money, or in you.

I want the key to decipher
this list of names.

Give me the key
and I'll leave you alone.

Come with me.

I never believed in
your conversion.

Terrasini and Cannito
were naive.

Men like you never change.

But I'm afraid you're too late.
I've passed it on.

And in a much more
lucrative fashion.

Look.

Who did you sell it to?

To Mr Sorbi.

Your cynicism and cunning
may save you,

but your power here is over
and you know it.

That's why you're throwing
everyone overboard!

A king once said
After me, the deluge.

Good morning.

Go ahead, Sorbi.
I only have a few minutes.

- Did you see this?
- Yes, I have.

The only ones named
are you, Cannito and Laudeo.

The paper also refers to
a secret list in code.

Theyve published
a copy of it.

Arent you wondering

who has the key
to decipher it?

Mr Sorbi, are you saying
you have that key

and are threatening
to use it?

I'm just saying
it's a dangerous situation.

We must move before
this avalanche buries us all.

I absolutely need approval

for that injection of funds
I requested. It's urgent.

This is a very delicate time
and this complicates matters.

That's why it's essential.

If my bank goes under,
many other things will too.

Other institutions,
other men...

I cant give you an answer
right now.

Don't waste any time.
It's just a matter of wanting to.

I understand,
but I need a few hours.

I'll call you later today.
Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hello.

Hello, Countess.
Any news of our friend Cattani?

I've been looking
for him for days.

- No one knows where he is.
- No, I wouldn't know.

I have nothing to do with him.

Are you playing games with me?
I know about your relationship.

It's over.
I'm leaving for Sicily.

I'm finished with Cattani.
What did you want to tell me?

I'm not happy with either of you.

I've been calling
the house but no one answers.

- Isnt Mr Sorbi in?
- No, they all left.

Thank you.

So let the papers
have a field day!

I don't understand
this Italian stuff.

Why should we give a damn?
Let the politicians worry.

No, Laudeo and Sorbi are in it.

And not just them,
but other friends too.

What's your plan?

Laudeo left his hotel
and has vanished.

I'm trying to find him.

Sorbis a bit too agitated.

I wouldn't want him
to vanish too.

Certainly not before
he returns our $30 million.

Do as you like, Terrasini.

But I won't be ripped off
by some Italian crook.

- Is that clear?
- Lets keep a cool head.

If they're hiding,
we'll find them.

And if theyve tried to screw us,

well screw them in the end.

There have been lively
and dramatic reactions

in the world of Italian
politics and finance.

Although toothless in a sense,
due to the list in code,

the dossier implicates some
of our countrys big names.

It's perhaps the biggest scandal
of the last 10 years.

It hasn't yet been possible
to find Prof. Laudeo

who appears to head a secret
organisation called Itala

which it seems was plotting
against the institutions.

Well?

Publication of that dossier
has complicated matters,

as I imagined.

The transaction you're proposing

is suddenly very risky.

We all run risks.

I won't be the only one
going bankrupt.

It will also involve others.
Maybe you didn't explain that.

You will get the support,

but you must be patient
a few weeks.

No, I cant be patient
for more than one day.

But tell them this...

There are over 100
important names on that list.

And I'm in a position
to decipher it.

Alice, listen carefully.
I'll come and pick you up.

Okay.
Don't worry, darling.

- Good. Bye.
- See you soon. Bye.

Don't worry.
Well do our best.

Don't worry,
were already making moves.

As you wish.

You call me, if you prefer.

Goodbye.

Sorbi has the key
to that list in code.

Who told you?

The man who spoke to Sorbi.
That was him on the phone.

So Sorbi
has turned into a time bomb.

What's more, it's over two hours
since I had news of him.

Meanwhile, Laudeos
left for who knows where...

Son of a bitch.

We've been screwed
like dickheads.

Thirty million dollars!

If we want to recover our money,

we must at all costs
find Sorbi and that key.

Particularly the key.

With that, well be in charge
of the situation again.

We must find it.

Terrasini, thats up to you.
And no more stuff ups.

Find Sorbi. Certain mistakes
are unforgivable.

If mistakes were made,
we made them together.

How could I have known
about all these Italian problems?

You were the one
calling the shots.

And I'll call them again.

Don't you worry about that.

Well get news of Sorbi
very soon.

Theres someone
watching his every move.

Italy is smaller...
than Palermo.

But New York
is the capital of the world...

Don't you forget that, Terrasini.

Go back to Rome.
I'll call you.

Goodbye, sir.

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

I'm at the airport, sir.

Yes.
He's just left for Zurich.

Please...

- When does this train leave?
- It's leaving now.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Excuse me,
I'm a police inspector.

- What is it?
- Where is that girl going?

Just a minute.
She's in Compartment 31.

She gets off at Horgen,
the stop before Zurich.

- When do we get there?
- About 9.30 a.m. tomorrow.

- Do you have a berth?
- No, they're all taken.

But theres room in first class.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Here.
- Thanks.

Coffee, rolls...

Horgen.

Horgen station.

Horgen station.

Alice!

Here I am, darling.
Daddy!

- How was the trip?
- Fine.

- How are you?
- Fine.

- Happy to see me?
- Yes.

- I made it.
- Well done.

Mr Sorbi...

- Why did you follow me?
- Calm down, dear.

- I hadn't seen him!
- Please calm down.

Lets see what
the gentleman wants.

I'm here also
to offer you something.

Shall we continue here
or shall we leave?

Mr Sorbi, your flight
ends here and you know it.

It's not just the police
who are after you,

but someone
you may fear more,

such as a former friend.

I could give you away
with one call to Italy.

So thats your offer.
To be my accomplice.

Now tell me what you want.

The key to decipher the names
in Laudeos organisation.

Who are you working for?

Not for Terrasini,
or even the police, right now.

For who then?

I'm working for myself
and for people who have died.

I always thought
you were an idealist.

For a moment, I hoped
you were doing it for money.

All those like you
made the same mistake.

I cant stand him!

Calm down.
It's pointless.

I'm afraid it's too late.

Forgive me, Daddy.
I've been a fool.

No, you're not to blame.
You were outstanding.

I ruined our plan, darling.
You'll never forgive me.

It's pointless now.
Don't think about it, dear.

We cant do a thing.
Were in his hands.

But we'll find a way out.

Very well,
I'll give you the key.

But once I give it to you,
you must disappear.

I need 48 hours.

Unless I have your word,
you might as well call Italy.

The phones over there.

All right, you have my word.

But no more than 48 hours.

This disk costs 5 million dollars.

It's worth more, Mr Sorbi.

Read me the letters
of the coded list.

I'll switch on the printer

to print out the names.

List of Members

Write...
D J S D, space.

A R C Y, space.

S K D W space.

Y Y M C D
again, space.

P Z.

Mr Cattani, do these names
mean anything to you?

Of course they do.

Even though,
when they're read as a list,

they look like a phone book.

- Shall we continue?
- Yes, I want to see them all.

F F Y Y...

O M N...

Answer it, please.

Hello.

Hello...

- Expecting any calls?
- No.

- Who knows you're here?
- Only my driver.

We must leave this house
immediately.

Daddy, lets get out.

Please lets leave now.
Lets go!

Please, darling lets go.

- Please...
- Go on!

Yes, lets go.

Mr Cattani,
you gave me your word.

48 hours.

My dear Mrs Cattani!

I hope you havent
forgotten me

or a small Sicilian town.

Show him in, Else.

How lucky I am!
It's your husband I was after!

Come in.

How nice to see you.
It's been so long.

- How are you, Inspector?
- Fine. And you?

Better, now that I see you.

But I am rather tired.

I've been chasing you
around Europe...

In Italy, in Switzerland
and finally here.

But I was always too late...

up to now, that is.

I won't intrude, madam.
I'll only stay a few minutes.

- Sit down.
- Thank you.

Why were you looking for me?

- I wanted to see you.
- What do you want, sir?

To congratulate you.
You've done a splendid job.

What else?

Give me that key.

And then I'll go

and leave you alone forever.

You know how important
that key is, Inspector.

You got it for us,
unless I'm mistaken.

- No, I didn't get it for you.
- Do you want to get rich?

First Laudeo,

then Sorbi

and now you.

Everyone offers me money.
But you're late again.

- What do you mean?
- Your trip was pointless.

Yes, you could have
stayed in Italy.

The key will be
in tomorrows papers.

I sent copies to the police
and the Judges.

This is the biggest mistake
of your life, Inspector.

No need for threats.
I'm aware of the dangers.

This isn't about the dangers.

You think you can destroy
a way of life,

a balance our entire
society is based on.

You think your insane
gesture serves a purpose?

You're the insane ones

for thinking you can replace
the State with crime

and exploit peoples honesty.

You're so naive.

Yes, because you think
you're holding a bomb.

The list may well end up
being published, but...

theyll say it's false
and part of some power game

so who do you believe?

It depends who has the most
power of persuasion.

No, don't kid yourself.

That list might have been useful
but only as leverage. That's all.

Now it's useless.

It's a piece of paper or plastic
good for burning.

- This time you're wrong.
- No, Cattani...

It's like the Chinese boxes.

You know them? You open one
and another one pops out.

Then another
and another again...

They fit into each other,
all alike, but all different.

So according to you,
therell never be an end.

So you go from
one box to another,

doing your best.

That's the whole point...
You have to survive.

Except that it's usually
the hunter who survives,

not the hunted.

But this time,
I know, sir

and many others know too.

So itll be hard to establish

which of us is the hunter
and which is the hunted.

Yes, you're right, Inspector.

The facts will establish it.

It's over, Paola.

What I bring you

isn't the justice
that innocents like you imagine.

What was done to you
will never be redressed.

But at least those responsible
for your nightmares

know they are
no longer invulnerable.

And if I made
mistakes with you,

maybe now you'll understand me.

Come whenever you like.

Call me.

You too.

- How much is it?
- Fifteen francs.

Thank you.

I'd like you to join me
in Italy very soon.

Do you really think
we could start over?

Maybe we already have.

No, thank you.

See you soon.

Bye.

Wait, I'll walk you
to the train.

I'm not speaking
just for myself.

This is the testimony
and the indictment

of all those whove marked
my life in these years...

with their death.

Killed by the corrupters
and the corrupt.

It's the testimony of
Leo De Maria, 25 years old,

a police officer, who died
in a hail of bullets in a bar.

It's the testimony and
indictment of Titti Pecci Scialoia,

persecuted and pushed
to commit suicide

just because
she trusted me

and my feelings.

It's the testimony and
indictment of Inspector Altero

and Judge Bordonaro,
both killed by organised crime.

And here before you judges,
are some of the main culprits.

It's the testimony and
indictment of Colonel Ferretti,

who was killed by
the savage conspiracy

of covert powers

which he fought against with
the tenacity of his honesty.

It's the testimony
and indictment

of my wife, Else,

who died to protect me

with an act

I perhaps didn't deserve.

And it's the testimony of Paola,
of my daughter Paola.

She was abducted
and violated

and pushed, through despair,

to a horrible death.

So, you see...

I feel I'm all alone

in this vast cemetery.

But it's from this loneliness
that I renew,

also for all these dead people,
my testimony...

and my indictment.

I no longer have
anyone near me

or beside me.

All I have is the justice
you judges represent.

The justice I've fought for

and for which I offer
my story today.

That is why I am here
before you,

and these defendants...

Grieving, but also at peace,

because I have the hope
that my battle as a citizen,

on behalf of
all honest citizens

who await your verdict
full of hope,

hasn't been pointless.

THE END
