Soneri.
- He's out.
- Will he be back later? - You can speak to me, i you like.
- No, I'd rather speak to him.
I'm an old riend.
Try coming tomorrow.
I don't know i I can.
Could you tell him Ghitta was looking or him? - Just Ghitta? - Yes.
"Rooms or Rent" Hello? Hello? Luvara - Yes, sir.
- How do you stop this thing? I don't know what happened, perhaps the ile went off on its own.
- Did anyone look or me? - Mr.
Draghi.
- I have to go to the preect now.
- Would you like a coffee? - No.
You drink tons o coffee with him - A lady was here or you yesterday.
She said her name was Ghitta.
- What did she want? - I don't know.
She wanted to talk to you in person.
I told her to come back today, but she said she couldn't make it.
Call Draghi and tell him to go to the preect.
- Where are you going? - To see Ghitta.
She's not a riend but she might have something to say.
Ghitta Ghitta Ghitta Calm down.
I'm rom the police.
Don't worry.
Who are you? I live upstairs in the lot.
- My name's Elvira Codoppi.
- Let's go over there.
I don't have any coffee.
Do you like barley? - No, don't worry.
- I've got some instant deca.
No.
Ok, I'll just make some or me.
Who do you think killed Ghitta? I don't know.
Ghitta led her own lie, had her own riends.
You live in this house.
Usually neighbours know what goes on.
How long have you been living here? Many years.
I've known Ghitta since I was a girl.
We're both rom San Biagio, a little town 20 kilometres rom here.
When I came to live in the city, Ghitta ound me this apartment.
I'll have a deca too.
It's better than nothing.
Ok.
Did you come to the city or school or work? Sorry? I came here to work.
Where were you yesterday aternoon? At the office, you can ask my colleagues.
- When did you get back home? - About ten p.
m.
I was tired and I went straight to bed.
I'm an accountant in a wine growing business.
We're doing the monthly statements.
Did you see Ghitta oten? O course, I even saw her yesterday morning.
She seemed ine.
It's odd She ran a hotel with no guests.
- She must have been worried.
- Well, business wasn't good.
Could I have a lighter? You're not particularly upset about Ghitta's death.
Oh, I am.
I was very ond o Ghitta.
The deca, don't let it boil.
Take a close-up.
- Well? - One knie wound.
In the liver, I think.
Not much blood, perhaps a haemorrhage killed her.
- The weapon? - Could just be a knie rom the kitchen.
Fingerprints? No, whoever killed her knew what they were doing.
Could you leave us on our own? - She came looking or you yesterday.
- I know.
She wanted to speak to me, but I wasn't around.
- Got any hypotheses? - No.
- Haven't seen her or iteen years.
- Did you use to live here? - No.
- How did you know Ghitta and the hotel? I'll tell you some other time.
See you.
- Goodbye.
- Close it.
- So? - The lock wasn't orced.
Either the murderer had the key, or Ghitta let him in.
That's weird, only the guests had keys and there weren't any.
The registers? There haven't been any guests or a year.
The other part o the building was sold in May.
It's been empty ever since.
- That's strange.
- Shall we go? No, I'm not coming.
- Why stay here? - I don't know.
- The chie wants to speak to you.
- Tell him I stayed on the location to smoke a cigar.
No, just tell him he has to carry out a more detailed investigation.
Let's go or a coffee.
You pay.
- Why? - You're young Ada.
Darling What time do we have to be there? Do you want to get run over? Come on.
They told me about Tagliavini murder at work.
You haven't let the hotel since this morning.
That's right, and I'm worn out.
- You look different.
- I'm really tired.
No, there's something else.
Something that concerns you.
Who was Ghitta? A ormer lover? - A girl you ancied as a kid? - Is this a jealous scene? I can't be jealous o an owner o a brothel.
She wasn't the owner o a brothel, just o an ordinary small hotel.
- Why are you upset? - My wie once lived in that boarding house.
- I understand the look on your ace.
- It wasn't a brothel.
It never used to be, but recently everyone knew that a lot o women hung around there.
They were or politicians, businessmen.
Ghitta? You're as naive as a child sometimes.
- Lucky I'm around to open your eyes.
- That's why I hang with you.
And or this? - Then he'll give us a medical report.
- You're late.
- Autopsy is done.
I'm Judge Saltapico.
- My pleasure.
Sadly I'm not too ond o autopsies and corpses.
Any news? - Nothing we didn't know already.
- She was killed between 6 and 8 p.
m.
- She died rom a stab wound in the liver.
- Any signs o conlict? - No.
- Soneri.
I've heard about you.
I hope what people say isn't true.
- What do people say? - That you're centralizing - individualist, bossy.
- Anything else? - No.
- I'm actually worse than that, I have many more deects.
- Excuse me, but Nanetti and I have to go.
- Yes.
Nice to see you.
- Where do we have to go? - Nowhere.
To eat.
Who's judge Saltapico? You're never too ond o judges.
- They're never too ond o me.
- O course.
You never co-operate.
Sir, I've let you some apple pancakes.
- Those with yellow custard? - Yes.
No, thanks My cholesterol's soared - since you've been back - Make it higher.
No pancakes, then I'll just get you some apples with a touch o ruit sugar on top.
No I'm starting the diet next week.
Pancakes - Alright.
- Lots o custard.
- Lots.
- Thanks.
- How did you know o Ghitta's hotel? - Ada used to lived there when she was at the nursing college.
- You went to see Ada in that hotel? - Yes.
Just there, room 104, to be exact those were the best days o my lie.
I think you haven't even come out o that room yet.
No.
- Hi.
- Good morning.
- What's that? - A Christmas tree.
I can get rid o it i you like.
- I meant the parcel.
- It arrived just now, it's or you.
It must be the station's Christmas parcel.
- My mother loves it.
- Good, take it to her.
- I don't want to be a nuisance.
- I don't like Christmas cake, take it.
I will, then.
Thanks.
- Any news about Ghitta? - One weird thing.
- She was extremely wealthy.
- Ghitta? There's a million Euro worth o stocks on her bank account - all bought in the last six months.
- Well, she did have the hotel.
In her last tax declaration she only declared 6000 Euro gross earnings deriving rom the hotel.
But Ghitta must have earned a lot in the past too - because she bought property in her town.
- The tree's nice.
Who put it up? I did, sir.
I can get rid o it, i you like.
No.
It's great.
Ghitta made a lot o money, but we don't know how.
She had a women racket going on at the hotel in the past.
Brothel madams don't earn that much.
Did she make a will? No, we haven't ound one.
Inquire on her natural heirs or me.
Are you off, sir? Well done Got a lighter? I'm sorry, I don't smoke.
- Good morning, Chie Constable.
- Haven't been to work today? I've been working on the PC at home.
- I was about to go out.
- You'll go out later.
I've got some questions.
Come in.
"Last minute lights: Buenos Aires-Santiago.
" Planning a holiday? It's or my boss.
Business trips.
I'm sorry.
What else do you want to know? - Did you administer Ghitta's ortune? - What ortune? One million Euro in stocks, bonds, real estate, land.
I know nothing about Ghitta's ortune, she dealt with it alone.
- Did you know she was rich? - I knew she had some savings.
- But I never knew how much.
- Who will the money be going to? - She never made a will.
- It won't be going to me.
- Did she have relatives at home? - She had a sister.
She lived in Brazil, but she died two years ago.
Ghitta bought a million Euro worth o stocks in the last two months.
Where did they come rom? It's a big sum or a hotel with no guests.
- I know nothing about Ghitta's businesses.
It's late, I have to go.
Answer the phone.
Is it not yours? This house is ull o surprises.
- Do these lead downstairs? - Ghitta had them built - so she would eel saer.
- It's a very convenient passage.
You can go downstairs, answer the phone, have a chat.
Ask or some sugar.
Kill someone.
We have a witness, you'll be ully acquitted.
Mr.
Akov, do you remember how to make "kulebiaka"? I don't know i I have to add sour cream.
I don't have to.
I see.
Thanks.
I'll see you on Wednesday at the hearing.
Goodbye.
Right, it's ready.
Hello? Hi, Angela.
Dinner at nine at your place? Sorry, I'd orgotten I'll be right over.
Is it ten? I'll be there in ive minutes.
Give me Answer me Elvira Codoppi was born in '75 in San Biagio, Ghitta's town.
- She moved here to work in 1993.
- What did she do? She was hired by a wine irm in 1996.
At irst she lived in the hotel, maybe helping out.
- Then? - She lives a quiet lie in the hotel.
- Did she have a boyfriend, a husband? - Doesn't look like it.
Strange, she seems the kind o woman who needs a man.
- Still working? - What else am I supposed to do? Have a rest, you never take a single day off - Someone's been killed.
- But it's not a difficult case.
- Is that so? - Just the usual sexual affair.
No.
Must have been one o Ghitta's customers.
Who caught AIDS, may be.
- Perhaps it was the Russian Maia.
- What the hell are you talking about? - I was only trying to help.
- I'm off.
Have to wish Capuozzo a Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
- Don't work too much.
No - Aren't they transerring anyone here? - Why? - Celebrating Christmas anywhere? - Me, celebrate? - What do you mean? - I'm not the gits under the tree type o guy.
That's not true.
You say that because you don't have a amily.
- Perhaps.
Have you got a amily? - Just my mother.
She's in hospital or some tests.
Let's hope or the best.
I think it's going to snow tomorrow.
You would have liked a amily.
- I know you wanted three children.
- How do you know that? I read your interview on Internet, ater you deeated the Piave gang.
- It mentioned private things too.
- What else did I say? You said your wie made great honey cookies.
That your relationship was based on true love.
What a load o bullshit I used to say See you around.
Please, do come in.
- What's your name? - Mohammed.
- Mohammed, do you serve alcohol? - Yeah, but only beer.
- What will you have? - A small beer.
A small beer.
Sit down.
- Mohammed, did you know her? - Who? Thanks.
The hotel owner who was killed.
She never came here, she was really angry with me.
She thought my restaurant smelled and wanted me to close down.
You'll have seen people going in and out o the hotel.
Sir, I look at the tables, not at what's going on outside.
The murder took place on a Thursday, when my restaurant was closed.
It's smoky in here.
You know it's been banned in public places.
I someone phones the police, they'll have your license withdrawn.
I saw someone who might have been an old riend o the victim.
- Pitti's the name.
- Pitti? It's a nickname, 'cause he's not exactly a man.
- Pitti doesn't like girls.
- Thanks, Mohammed.
You go to work at the strangest times.
- I'm not going to work.
- Where are you going? - To my aunt in San Biagio.
- What a hurry Got to catch the bus.
- I like to walk ast.
- Who's Pitti? An asshole.
- You hate him that much? - Yes.
- What's his real name? - Alonso Pirelli.
- Did he come and see Ghitta? - They were riends.
I told you, I know nothing about Ghitta and her riends.
Strange, you moved there in 1993 and the brothel was in ull activity.
- Strange you didn't notice it.
- I've always lived in the lot.
What took place downstairs was none o my business.
I you don't want to see, you don't see.
Here we have the history o the city, it's all classiied.
My ather took the irst photos in 1906.
Incredible It's an extraordinary wealth.
I've already had two heart attacks and I'll soon have a third.
This stuff will end up on market stalls.
Don't tell me the arts authority will look ater it, that's bullshit.
Important photos are on computers nowadays, the rest is rubbish.
What are you looking or? - Know him? - I must have seen or photographed him.
Your wie was just a girl in those days.
The photo dates back to the late eighties.
Start with these.
I think you're doing something really stupid.
I know I am.
- You're late.
- I've been doing an Internet search or Draghi.
- He was planning a holiday.
- He wanted to know the snow reports.
Did he ask you? You're too kind, you'll have problems in your lie.
I get on with you.
- You could have ended up with Draghi.
- He didn't want me.
I get on with you too.
- Where does Pitti live? - Turn let and then right.
We knew each other or 40 years, she was my best riend.
You knew her better than anyone.
I think so.
Excuse me a moment.
Mum, go away She's 92 and her hearing is better than mine.
Let's go to the garden, she won't be able to ollow us there.
Look.
This is my kingdom.
Congratulations or your green thumb.
Worked in a plant nursery.
Had to stop though, I had problems with my spinal cord.
I have a terrible scoliosis and I can't bend down.
- Apparently you were - A nurse, or 12 years.
- You met Ghitta at the hospital.
- You know everything about me.
Did you meet Ghitta at the hospital? No, we had met beore.
We went to nursing college together.
She stopped practising, but we remained riends.
- Who could have killed Ghitta? - I can only have my suspicions.
- Go on.
- I never liked that woman.
Elvira Codoppi? Yes, Elvira hated Ghitta.
But she depended on her.
Ghitta was a great woman with a very strong personality.
She liked to be in charge.
Elvira was never grateul to her.
Ghitta had ound her an apartment and a job.
- What job? - Whore - There.
- Thanks.
Your visit to your aunt was short.
I told you I'd be back today.
Why did you come here? You'll make me lose my job.
I you didn't kill Ghitta, you won't lose it.
I've killed nobody Let's get out o here.
- What's your wine like? - I don't know, I don't drink.
Ask my colleagues where I was on the aternoon the murder took place.
They told me you were here, working.
That you let or hal an hour.
I went to collect my laundry rom a nearby dry cleaner.
I could never have gone home, killed Ghitta and come back here.
Yes, but there's something else too.
You never told me where you worked beore coming here.
I don't have to tell you every detail o my lie.
I think the act that you worked in Ghitta's brothel is relevant to the inquiry.
What do you think? I came to town when I was 18.
My aunt asked Ghitta to let me work.
She was only too glad.
In those days Ghitta knew how to sell a girl like me.
You could have reused.
It was impossible to reuse Ghitta anything.
Pitti thinks Ghitta was ond o you.
Did that pervert tell you I killed Ghitta? It's a plausible hypothesis.
Ask Pitti how many clandestine abortions he did with Ghitta.
- Clandestine abortions? - Yes, Chie Constable.
The hotel was a cover up.
Ghitta got rich with abortions.
Pitti helped her.
Try this.
My colleague is coming.
Merry Christmas, ladies.
Merry Christmas to you too.
- Who is it? - Me.
Remembered I exist? - What's wrong? - Just a bit o anxiety.
- Has it let you? - No.
Shall we go or a walk? I need to walk.
Let's go to Alceste's.
A glass o wine will do you good.
- I'm neither hungry nor thirsty.
- Then you really are ill.
- What's up? - There's something in my wie's past that's upsetting me.
- What? - I think Ada had an abortion beore she met me.
It was alright or the law but not or you? Perhaps Ghitta made her do it.
She died when she was pregnant.
She had a haemorrhage.
Li think it was caused by a previous lesion.
- You think Ghitta caused it? - I do.
Looks as i you're inquiring about your wie, not about Ghitta.
- The two things are connected.
- No they aren't.
You're jealous because Ada had someone else and never told you.
- You've got no guts.
- Don't offend me.
I don't want to hang with a man chasing a phantom, I'm going home.
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you and your wie.
Thanks, Merry Christmas.
Soneri, things aren't looking good.
- No? - No.
It's Christmas and this murder is getting heavy.
A lot o pressure.
We've got to ind a solution.
That's why I'm here.
- Have you got news or me? - I'm leaving the inquiry.
Someone younger and more dynamic than me should inquire.
Have you gone mad? No, but my method is different.
I think Draghi is perfect or this type o thing.
I'll get out o the way, excuse me.
Where are you going? Come back Soneri This inquiry stays with you.
You're the best.
Draghi is too superficial, this is a difficult case.
Draghi, still here? They robbed a gas station, so I can't leave.
What rotten luck I see.
Here's the list o gas station robberies since January.
Great, thanks.
I you don't know what to do or Christmas, call me.
I was just about to ask you or your phone number, thanks.
Officer Musumeci is tailing Pitti.
He went to some Slav guy, should he stop the Slav or ollow Pitti? He's got to ollow Pitti.
- Well? - He's been inside about ten minutes.
He was in a big hurry.
Chie Constable, shall I stay here or go to the Slav? - Stop whoever comes out o the church.
- Okay.
Come here.
Move it, don't waste my time - Move it - What's up? How many clandestine abortions did you and Ghitta do? - It's been so long - Think they've been prescribed? That bitch Elvira told you - What do you want to know? - Everything Where did you operate? In the hotel at irst, then we rented a place.
With no precautions or assistance in case there were complications? We never killed anyone You don't know i you caused any damage There were risks, but those women came to us or a good reason.
Ghitta only did it to help them.
Don't say bullshit Let go What's all this got to do with Ghitta's death? I could report you or what you just did.
What did you say? What the uck are you saying? I'd kill you with my own hands i I wasn't a Chie Constable My wie died because o you.
I'm an old riend o Ghitta's, and I used to go to the hotel years ago.
When you set up on your own, you asked her and her assistant.
Ghitta was the owner o the place.
She owned another two, but they weren't registered under her name.
The traffic at the hotel had increased.
Ghitta had decided to move it somewhere more suitable where people could have a drink and listen to some music.
How does Pitti it in all this? He ound the contacts, the girls and collected the percentages.
But o course Ghitta was at the cash desk and counted the money.
She didn't need any lodgers.
- How's your mother? - Better, thanks.
She had a very important test, we get the results tomorrow.
- This Christmas is such a pain - I agree.
Ghitta couldn't have had many riends, there's hardly anyone here.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- It's true.
- Why? Everyone here knew what Ghitta used to do.
- They didn't approve.
- It was brave o you to come to the uneral.
There's other things I'm brave about.
- What? - I don't have to tell you everything about my lie.
True.
But you had a psychological motive or killing Ghitta.
- Your alibi is shaky.
- So? You should be less reserved about your lie - and tell me a thing or two.
- What do you want to know? - Have you got a man? - No.
- That's strange.
- Why? - You look in love.
- What makes you think that? - Just a eeling I have.
- Well, you're wrong.
- Who's that guy? - Tonio.
He's got the mental age o a three-year-old.
His ather has never abandoned him.
It's that man, Mr.
Chiastra.
- Was he a riend o Ghitta's? - More than a riend.
Back home people said Tonio was her son, but she never admitted to it.
Pity they didn't recognise him as legal heir.
He would have got her ortune.
- Not eeling well? - I smoke too much.
I must give up.
I eel dizzy, but it's nothing.
- What's that? - Omelette sandwich.
- Did you make it? - My mother usually makes them.
While she's not there I make them.
I've oten seen her making them.
- Tastes good.
- Want to come over to my place or capon at Christmas? Don't get carried away Someone's coming.
Lunch is over.
- What do you want to know about Ghitta? - Knew her well? - Better than anybody.
- What was she like? She was a sinner.
But she was a good woman at heart.
- Were you together at one stage? - Yeah, we were more than married.
I let my amily or her.
She gave me Tonio and I accepted him.
Sorry, I haven't offered you anything.
Come.
She helped me with Tonio inancially.
I saw her once a month.
- So, Tonio is her son or real.
- O course.
But when he was born and she saw what problems he had she let him at my house.
- You could have sued her.
- I know, but I was ond o her.
I knew she would have come back, but she died beore.
Poor Ghitta She hurt so many people without realising she was hurting hersel.
Tonio, come and have a glass o wine with us.
I Ghitta had recognised him he'd be inheriting her ortune.
The Lord has given us other things.
My son's an angel.
Pity Ghitta never understood that.
She wouldn't have died like she did.
Come in.
- Excuse me.
- Hello, Chie Inspector.
Arranging this meeting has been difficult.
- I was very busy with the inquiry.
- Take a seat.
I'd like to speak about the case, a ew things are already quite clear.
Which things? The only suspect is this Elvira Codoppi, right? Yes, that's the name.
The evidence is all against her.
As ar as the suspicions are concerned, I have my doubts.
They're not very clear.
Ms.
Codoppi temporarily let the office when the crime took place.
A staircase leads rom her apartment to the boarding house.
She hated Ms.
Tagliavini because she'd orced her to sell her body.
Ms.
Codoppi isn't behaving as a murderess.
- Do you suspect somebody else? - Not at the moment.
I hope to hear rom you soon, but with a ew clear ideas.
The hearing is adjourned to a date to be established.
Don't worry, sir.
I've been to see judge Saltapico.
He is arrogant and conceited, like all idiots.
- He asked me out with him once.
- Did you go? O course, it's part o my proessional duties.
- What else did you do out o duty? - It was a very boring dinner.
But I did ind out his weak points.
So that i I meet him in court, I know where to strike.
Scary - Only in my job.
- No, in your lie too.
You've ound out all my weak points.
The more I ind, the more I'm ond o you.
You're the one who's messing about with me.
I don't understand.
Can't you see? Last night I wouldn't have rushed away i I wasn't alling in love with you.
Angela, I thought I'm not asking i you're alling in love with me, don't worry.
- Mrs.
Cornelio, here I am.
- Let's go talk in the courtroom.
Goodbye, Chie Inspector.
Hello? Don't tell me not to worry, you put me in a terrible situation - I saw your car, I thought you'd be here.
- I was just passing by.
I was smoking my cigar and pondering things.
Come in.
What were you pondering? I don't have to tell you everything I think either I'm sorry.
Isn't it too cramped in here or you? It's very small.
You're used to the countryside.
- I won't stay long in this town.
- Where are you going to go? I don't know.
Probably to the country.
- With your boyfriend? - I told you, I'm not seeing anyone.
I've run out o cigarettes.
I need to get some.
I'll come with you.
- Have you always smoked a cigar? - No, I used to smoke cigarettes.
I was always looking or a tobacco shop.
How did you manage to give up? During an interrogation I ainted because I was so intoxicated.
- Did you smoke a lot? - Yes.
You smoke a lot too.
I saw you just beore, your hands were shaking.
- I know.
- When my wie died, I started smoking a lot.
- What reason do you have? - No particular reason.
Does he treat you badly? Is he unaithul? Is he married? Every time I mention him you become anxious like mad.
- Chie Inspector, please stop - As you wish.
But you orce me into thinking that your sentimental problems are connected to the murder o Ghitta.
Goodnight, Chie Inspector.
Yes, Luisella luvara.
Aged 53.
Thanks Yes, I'll come and collect the results.
Thanks - luvara - I'm sorry, sir.
I'm very happy.
- I'm sorry.
- What happened? My mother's ine.
She only got a cyst.
They operate today.
Tomorrow she can go home.
Brilliant You'll spend Christmas with her.
Yes, and you're invited.
You must come.
My mother makes the best roast capon in the whole o Emilia.
I'll think about it.
You were telling me something important about Ghitta.
Sir, I do apologise.
It was very important.
Here.
For quite some time, a local irm had been trying to buy the lot and Ghitta's apartment.
I the lady had sold them, they would have had twelve apartments.
A good deal.
These are all the offers we made to Ms.
Tagliavini.
We always offered a lot o money, but she kept on reusing, It would have been a good deal.
- We wanted to redecorate the building.
- Why didn't she accept? The lady was very obstinate.
She didn't want to give in to the idea that time goes by.
She said the only wealth we have is our past.
She didn't seem that attached to her past.
I'm oten having to convince people to sell.
People nearly always want to cling on to their ghosts.
The uture is inevitable.
No use trying to ight it.
Was this deal very important to you? I'd be a serial killer i I were to kill all those who didn't want to sell.
I didn't think I'd walk in here and solve such a difficult case.
Well, thanks.
You've been most helpul.
I don't know i it'll be o any use to you One aternoon I went to the hotel to speak to the lady.
- I witnessed a quarrel over the phone.
- Carry on.
I don't know what it was about, but I'm sure she was talking to a man.
She was saying: "You always were a ailure" "You won't be able to take her away rom me" - You sure that's what you saw? - Yes, they took Elvira away.
Two men put her in a police car.
- Okay.
- Soneri.
I'm here, don't you recognise me? It's Fadila.
- Fadila? - I knew we'd meet again.
Sit down.
I can't believe it How long has it been? Remember the mischie we used to get up to? You graduated in physics.
You were one o the best.
Yes, and I still am.
I gave up teaching three years ago.
- What happened? - Lie changes, suddenly.
A son dies, a wie leaves you and everything is turned inside out.
The world's turned inside out.
I know what you mean.
I'm really sorry.
Do you need help? - You can go or detoxiication.
- No, I'm ine What can I do or you? I saw a man coming down rom Ghitta's hotel the very aternoon she was murdered.
- Who was it? - Just a man.
I didn't ask him to give me his ull name.
- What did he look like? - He was tall.
Dark-haired and with a beard.
That's all I saw.
It was dark.
Congratulations, I never thought you'd make it beore Christmas.
- Indeed, I haven't made it.
- Take a seat.
You're making me anxious.
The judge never notiied me o Mrs.
Codoppi's arrest.
He tried, but you never answered on your mobile.
He phoned Draghi.
That's a very bad thing to do Why? Do you not agree with this arrest? Saltapico says there's some decisive evidence.
Please, do sit down What evidence? It's just circumstantial The blood on the knie ound at her house is not circumstantial.
- What blood? - Mrs.
Tagliavini's blood.
She'd washed it, but they ound traces o her blood on the blade.
No one told me this.
Saltapico looked or you.
No one was expecting this.
They were tests on samples taken at Mrs.
Codoppi's house.
- Goodbye.
- Soneri, don't make trouble.
You've solved a case.
Don't worry and enjoy your Christmas.
Sir, I hate Christmas Would you like to make an offer or the children o Ghana? Hello? Hello? Has something happened? - They've arrested Elvira Codoppi.
- You don't look happy.
She didn't kill Ghitta.
But they ound a knie with traces o her blood at her house.
- Some problem or her lawyer.
- She doesn't have a lawyer.
She requested a court lawyer, she probably doesn't care anymore.
She doesn't care about spending the rest o her lie in jail? I think she's covering up or someone.
You women are all weird.
When you all in love with someone, it's all the way.
Love is weird.
It is weird.
Has your wie got anything to do with this? No.
Do you really think this woman loves someone to the point o - going to prison or him? - She really must be in love.
I she doesn't want to say who he is, there must be a very serious reason.
You'd like me to deend her, but you can't ask me that.
I'll do it.
But only because I think you're right.
It's not a personal avour.
I thank you and the Chie Constable, but I don't think you can help me.
The Chie Constable thinks you're innocent.
- I trust him.
- I didn't kill Ghitta.
But I know that in court, what counts is the evidence.
Ghitta's blood on that knie is evidence.
Obvious evidence.
Why did that knie have Ghitta's blood on it? Ghitta was killed with that knie, right? - The Chie Constable is right.
- About what? He says you're covering someone up out o love.
That's a lie.
You shouldn't be ashamed o that.
It's your choice and I respect it.
Love is so rare.
When you ind it, no price is too high.
How would you know? It's the kind o problem people who haven't had enough love have.
What makes you think I've been loved a lot? Elvira, are you okay? - You're in a cold sweat.
- It's nothing.
Just low blood pressure.
- Call the nurse.
- Please, it's nothing.
I've given up smoking and I always get I get this nausea.
Elvira.
Are you pregnant? Sir, Codoppi's mobile phone records have arrived.
There's not that many numbers in memory.
Her aunt's in San Biagio, the hotel, the office.
- What do the records say? - She mainly received calls.
- There are lots o night calls? - From where? Nearly all rom the same number.
It's a Ferrara number, check it.
One second.
There we are.
The number belongs to the "Cascine" shopping centre in Pontelagoscuro.
- It's a small town near here.
- Elvira went there by coach.
Who'd call her rom a shopping centre at night? Someone who works there.
Sorry.
I know.
I'm late.
- Elvira's pregnant.
- Since when? Three months.
She ound out a ortnight ago.
- Just beore the murder.
- You were right.
Her man killed Ghitta and she's covering up or him.
Perhaps it was him who wanted to take Elvira away but Ghitta considered her his property.
I it was the man Ghitta was arguing with over the phone she certainly considered him a ailure.
- But the murder wasn't premeditated.
- How do you know? Elvira said the knie belonged to Ghitta.
Elvira ound it and put it in a drawer.
She thought it would be the best place to hide it.
- Did she admit he's the murderer? - No, she never will in court.
That's her decision.
Yes? Go on.
You're not disturbing me.
I told you to phone i you had news.
I'll be right over.
Immediately.
- I have to go.
- Something to do with the Ghitta case? No, it's about my wie.
I've got an appointment.
- Wait.
- Leave me alone I'm not in the mood anymore.
Perhaps I wasn't so in love with you, ater all.
I'm sick and tired.
Every time you all back into your obsession, I distance mysel.
- I want to go all the way.
- Go wherever you like, but without me.
- I'm serious this time.
- Angela.
Angela Here.
When I saw it, everything came back to me.
What's his name? Andrea Fornari, he was arrested in 1992 or 1993 or setting up an armed gang.
I think he was released during the inquest.
He's a terrorist.
Yes, a marginal one.
He was in the Red Brigades without an important role.
- He had one with Ada.
- Cut the crap.
Fornari is just a poor guy.
He lost Ada, he never was a real terrorist - and he couldn't even reuse repentance.
- Must I cry? - Sorry.
- Not at all.
Did you bring it? - What? - The gun, we can't arrest him with the mouse.
No.
- Why didn't you bring it? - They gave it to me with the ull kit.
- It's a Beretta 92.
- I know what a Beretta is, no need to explain.
I also did a course at the iring ground.
But I co-operate with the police my way.
- We're not all the same.
- You're going to pay or this There's a car - How do we look or him? - You should ask "who are we looking or"? - Who are we looking or? - I don't know.
We can knock on every office that's open, you never know.
You came with no gun, so avoid talking bullshit - Want a rozen yogurt? - I'd rather have a hot cappuccino.
I think he's turned the machine off.
I he has, you'll have the yogurt.
I the kid realises I'm a cop, he'll get scared and won't talk.
- Good evening.
Can I help you? - A cappuccino, please.
I've turned the machine off.
Pity.
What shall we have? Do you serve rozen yoghurt? - Two? - No, just the one.
How many people work here in the evening? A lot.
- That's odd.
I don't see anybody.
- They're spread all round.
There's night watchmen security guards, cinema ushers.
The cleaning irm people get here later.
No.
You have it.
I'm looking or a riend who works here, I don't know exactly where.
- Who is it? - A girl rom Ferrara oten comes to see him.
She is very pretty, she's a redhead.
I got it.
He stole your girl.
- No.
- I know who you mean.
He hasn't been working here long.
- The girl comes every week on the coach.
- Wait.
No.
I'll only help you i he stole your girl.
Why? - Out o revenge against those like him.
- O course.
I want revenge too.
I want that bastard to pay or it.
- You've got to make him pay.
- Well? - He's not one o those.
- Who is he? Is he security? He's a night watchman, not a security guard.
He earns less.
- Where can I ind him? - In the garage.
You'll know him.
- Why? - He's the type o guy women like.
Long hair in a ponytail.
There, that's him.
Wait here.
Freeze Don't make me use it.
- Why did you kill Ghitta? - Can't you guess? - You tell me.
- Ghitta made Ada have an abortion.
Is that why you killed her? For Ada? - For my wie? - I didn't even know she was pregnant.
I lost my head.
I Ghitta hadn't persuaded her to have an abortion she'd be here with me right now.
- We'd never have split up with a kid - Where does Elvira it in? I'm ond o Elvira, we're happy together.
She's expecting a baby and I wanted to take her away with me.
- Is that why you went to see Ghitta? - Yes.
But that witch started screaming.
I won't let you ruin Elvira's lie.
You're a ailure Elvira will never go with you She'll never have your baby I'll convince her to have an abortion.
I did the same with Ada years ago.
Someone like you has no place putting children in this world - Did you kill her? Ada was an extraordinary woman, unique She chose you or the peace and quiet she wanted.
Asshole She never loved you like she loved me Stay away.
Sir, this is yours.
Was it you? - Who ired? - Yes.
I aimed at the wheel, but I think I caught the driver.
Well done, luvara.
You're a great shot, you saved my lie.
I'm glad you're alive.
Call an ambulance.
- Have you spoken to the Chie Constable? - No.
But judge Saltapico told me everything.
- Was Andrea very hurt? - He's got a broken shoulder.
Nothing serious.
I they put him near by, you can go and see him.
When you're pregnant, they give you special permits.
Could you could deend him? Ada was an extraordinary woman.
Unique She chose you or the peace and quiet she wanted.
She never loved you like she loved me Have you ever been jealous o Ada? I'm sure Andrea loved her a lot more than he ever loved me.
I know it was her he was thinking about when he killed Ghitta.
He thought he'd lost everything by losing her.
And you're not jealous? Ada's not around anymore.
I am.
Andrea's with me.
This is his kid.
When he gets out o jail he'll come back straight to me.
How can I be jealous o that poor woman? She's the one who lost everything.
I never saw it rom this point o view.
Why? Are you jealous? - Who should I be Jealous o? - Soneri.
- Aren't you together? - I don't think so.
Not in the sense that everyone associates to these words.
You city people make things so complicated See you soon and we'll talk about Andrea's deence.
Thanks.
Hello? What, I'm sorry? Listen, I don't understand.
Could you give me someone who speaks Italian? Italian.
I can't even tell whether it's English or French.
"Japan"? Did you say "Japan"? Okay, wait.
Dear Soneri, I came by to wish you Merry Christmas but you weren't there.
I wanted to ask you a avour, in the name o our riendship.
I sold the hotel to the Japanese or a lot o money.
A lot more than a local irm wanted to give me.
I'd like to buy a small building in the city and turn it into a classy hotel.
But I've been told that the arts authority has put a limitation.
I could only get a licence to start building through an acquaintance.
You've become a very important person.
I ask you this one avour which is crucial to me.
I'm leaving early tomorrow to go to San Biagio and see my son.
It's Christmas and you have to do some good action.
I'll come and see you when I come back.
In the meantime, think about what you can do to help me.
I'm grateul.
Merry Christmas, Ghitta.
Let's start off with a white truffle salad.
- Not hungry? - I was reading Read later, taste the truffle now.
After I'll get you some raw sea bass and anchovies.
- Alceste.
- Yes? - I need a avour.
- Go on.
You have to make an exception or me today.
- Who is it? - It's me, can I come up? - Why? - I wanted to know i a letter in handwriting is valid as a testament.
- It depends.
I'd need to read it.
- I've got with on me.
- Come to the office.
