Public Disorder (2025) s01e05 Episode Script
Episode 5

Who the fuck is it?
Police.
I didn't do anything.
Do you know this woman?
She live with you?
Who is she?
Do you know her?
Never seen her.
I've never seen her before.
You're making a mistake.
Hey.
-It's just me here, okay&
-Sh.
Shut up.
It's you.
What are you talking about?
MR. COP
INCOMING CALL
Tell me who she is.
Tell me.
Tell me her name.
She doesn't have a name.
The hell is that supposed to fucking mean?
Those pictures aren't real.
She doesn't exist.
Let go of me.
I can't breathe. Please, let go of me.
I can't breathe.
No, no, no, no, no.
He's asking to review the agreement.
He wants joint custody.
Mm.
No more random visits. He'd
be seeing her on a schedule.
Mm.
So he'd get two days with her a week and…
And two weekends a month.
I knew this would happen.
Listen.
I was the one who said
that he'd be content
if we met him halfway on custody.
And I was wrong. But he hasn't won yet.
Now we start preparing
to take this to court.
But you have to talk to
Agatha about all this.
The judge will be asking
her what she wants. Marta,
we have to be on the same page.
That's very important.
Yeah.
No, that won't be a problem.
I'm fine with it.
You're fine with what?
Having joint custody is fine by me.
Do you understand the implications here?
Because I mean… If you need more time
to review the agreement, if you don't
-understand-
-Agata? Yes, I understand.
That's it.
What?
Hey.
What's going on?
Hi, Mom.
Go down to Paola's.
-He's been like this since he got--
-I said go see Paola.
What the fuck are you doing?
Hey.
Are you drunk?
I was just about to kill her.
What did you do?
-I was gonna kill her.
-What did you do?
I went to that bitch's place.
She's…
There was a baby in the house.
Right. Get up.
Come on.
Okay. So, you let yourself get conned
on for 6 months.
You know better now, don't you?
Show me you understand.
Are you gonna puke again?
No.
You gonna do what I tell you.
Get a shift load of coffee.
Then we're gonna get back to work.
Calmly.
And that'll be the end of it.
We don't do anymore stupid shit.
It's freezing!
We questioned Vitaliano
Salis about the incident.
He claims that the act was
completely consensual.
He said they had both had a lot to drink.
And had done some cocaine.
And that it was Emma
who asked him that night
if she could sleep over.
We also interviewed Anita
and her brother too.
They both confirmed they
saw the two come back.
And well,
both of them confirm Salis's story.
And then, of course,
there are the text messages between
the two from the following day.
What messages?
Nothing out the ordinary.
Friendly, even.
Your daughter asked to meet him again.
That completely normal behavior.
It's a defense mechanism.
Those who experience violence
tend to want to normalize it.
And as normal as this behavior may be,
the risk is that…
that the other side may try to exploit it.
To tell you the truth,
it doesn't look good.
I'm really sorry but
I'm just being honest.
If this case ever goes to trial,
she doesn't stand a chance.
-Oh!
-I'm sorry.
Sure, sure. Excuse me.
Yes, I have already read the proceedings.
VITALIANO SALIS
THE SELFIE OF SHAME!
WAITING…
-Come on!
-Show us how jacked you are.
-Yeah! Show us!
-Let's go!
-Yeah dude! Go!
-Yeah, man.
-Yo, where's Pippo?
-Yo, yo, Pippo. Come on, man. Get
-your ass down here! We're waiting!
-Huh?
Yeah. Come on!
SOMALIA SPORT CLUB
Yo, what the fuck?
Excuse me.
So,
we're going to the migrant
detention center
to transfer a couple of Moroccans over to
Rome that're involved
in human trafficking.
Questions?
Couple of shit stains are
dragging us outta Rome?
Tell me about it.
Unit 21 from Villa Carpegna.
Switch completed.
Let's do this quick,
I wanna sleep at home tonight.
Good evening.
Evening.
Inspector Nobili with the Roma 3 squad.
Welcome. Through here.
A few days ago,
the court sent the order for 10 detainees.
Give or take.
A number of them have already
been transferred.
You're taking care of the ones in
the back. Who are about to leave.
They've been here for five days,
the order came in three days ago.
They need to be transferred to Rebibbia.
These are the DA's legal proceedings.
And I've got the signed arrest warrant
here for both prisoners as well.
For aiding and abetting human trafficking.
And the legal immigration.
Both individuals are Moroccan nationals.
Azzouz Himzah,
20. And Chakir Bansaid, age 18.
Have there been any problems
during the detention?
No, fortunately not.
They've been rather cooperative.
Quiet.
And they mostly keep to themselves.
Where do I sign?
Here, at the bottom.
Salvatore.
I'm here.
Good evening.
Hey.
You guys here for the transfer?
Yeah.
Fuck you lookin' at?
Hey, what you yelling about?
Shut the hell up.
Go ahead.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Evening.
Hey.
Hey.
You okay?
I'm good.
You two.
Time for a new hotel.
The other one.
Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
Just calm down. Take it easy.
Lovato, put your gun down.
Your weapon, Lovato!
Let her go…
and nobody will hurt you.
I don't believe you!
I give you my word.
Gimme your hand, Marta.
Open your mouth!
Open your mouth!
He swallowed a razor blade,
call an ambulance.
I testify that there is no god but Allah
and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
My brother, let us put our trust
in the mercy of God…
Mm!
Oh, this one!
-Yeah, it's a beautiful plant.
-Isn't it nice?
And quite easy to care for, actually.
It needs a lot of sunlight.
But you only need to
water it once a month.
Any Christmas plans?
I'm waiting for it to end.
Uh…
Come to our house.
We taking it?
Yeah.
-Let's get it.
-If I can lift it.
Here we go.
Heavy?
No. Go ahead.
Through here, Mazi.
You sure you're alright?
Go ahead. I'm fine. I'm fine.
-It's not too heavy?
-Nothing I can't handle.
Where do you want it?
Hm. Just there!
It looks great in the lighting.
I gotta say.
-Where? With the others?
-No, no. On the table.
-On the table, alright.
-It's nice, isn't it?
Yeah, that's the right spot
for it. Just leave it there!
Anna, don't forget to water it.
Watch the leaves for the signs.
-I know.
-Not too much. It's easy to
overwater these things, okay?
-Don't overwater it, got it.
-You don't want it to die.
-Thanks for the advice.
-Like you'll listen.
Bye, thanks.
See you tomorrow, right?
It's the 24th tomorrow, don't forget!
Hey.
Pietro.
I thought you were still asleep.
You trying to steal my life?
You wanna fuck my wife?
I wonder what the squad would say.
You're not right in the head, are you?
Get outta here, Mazì.
Hey.
Emma?
She's in the shower.
How are you?
I went to see Bastiani.
We all need to talk.
Can we wait a little while?
She just got out of bed.
Let's not bother her.
No, we need to talk now.
I went to see Francesca.
Now that the case is going ahead,
it's important you tell us everything.
Why are you saying it like that?
Like what?
Like you're mad at me.
Like I did something wrong.
No, I'm not mad at you.
What's going on?
-You said this was the right thing to do.
-And it is.
But some contradictions have come out.
What contradictions?
The messages you sent to him, Emma.
The photos.
You didn't sound too upset.
You wanted to see him again.
You read my private messages?
Why didn't you tell me you texted him?
I don't tell you everything.
No, not everything, Emma, but for
fuck's sake! You gotta tell me something
-like this!
-You can't be going
through my stuff like that!
I had to be sure.
What's there to be sure about?
Whaddya mean, Dad?
-They won't believe me in court?
-Of course they will.
I didn't even want to go and talk
to your friend! You made me!
You forced me to talk to her and
now you're saying it doesn't matter?
No, I'm not saying that. I'm
saying it's your word against his now!
Go fuck yourself, Dad.
You don't believe her?
ROME POLICE STATION
Of course I do.
Then why are you talking like this?
Do you think this is easy for me?
You don't know what Bastiani told me.
They were high!
They were completely fucking wasted!
What does that even mean?
Nothing, I just-
No, no.
If you've got the balls, just say it!
Say it.
Say what you were about to say!
You don't understand.
No. I think I understand perfectly.
Yeah, Manna?
No, I'm at home.
Now? Why?
Okay.
I gotta go to the
station. They called me in.
Sure, go ahead, great.
Do me a favor.
Stay there.
POLICE
-Hi.
-Hi.
I didn't hear the phone.
Well, I was over at my sister's.
I thought you could use some dinner.
Chinese.
Sound good to you?
Um, I don't think this is a great idea.
I even brought beer.
Sorry, what did you say?
I said I don't think it's a good idea.
And why not?
I think you should go home.
-You're not serious.
-Yeah.
I don't understand what I've
done that's so wrong.
Nothing. No, come on, you
didn't do anything wrong.
Huh.
No, Ivano.
It's just dinner, okay?
Pietro picked up on it.
Huh.
So what now?
Have you talked about me?
How does this sort of thing
work between cops?
You know,
when one is hitting on the other's wife?
Do you just say you're sorry
and go back to being friends?
Huh?
It doesn't work like that.
You'd both be labeled as rats.
You'd lose the respect of your colleagues,
all that shit that makes
you feel like real men.
Don't worry about it.
You still have their respect.
But you've lost mine.
Good evening, Inspector.
-Good evening.
-Apologies for summoning
you on such short notice.
Have a seat, please.
Oh, don't worry about your ID.
It's not necessary.
This conversation's off the record.
Okay.
I don't understand.
Mm.
I wanna have an informal chat with you.
Everything we're about to discuss
stays in this room. Sound good?
I can imagine…
that for a police officer like you,
with your history,
dealing with this unit must have
posed some challenges. Mm?
After all,
it says right here that
thanks to your testimony,
two of your colleagues
were sentenced to ten
years of prison time.
Your life can't have been
easy coming here, huh?
You know a lot of stuff about me.
Am I wrong?
Look, I didn't really choose this unit.
I requested a transfer
to Rome for my family.
To be near them.
Okay.
But you have to admit you
see things differently.
Maybe so, but we all have "police"
written on our backs.
Nobili.
Stop wasting my time.
You know there's a mother out there
seeking justice for her son.
Just tell me what it is you want from me.
I wanna know what you think about a squad
of riot police who order a charge on
a group of protesters who
aren't hurting anyone.
Or what you think of a cop
putting a 20-year-old
kid who has his whole life ahead of him
in hospital,
and then obstructing the pursuit of
justice. What do you think of that?
To make sure this investigation sees the
light of day, I need the footage off
your colleague's bodycam.
The one Sergeant Valenti claimed was
fully destroyed by a Molotov cocktail.
The technical analyses I
ordered on Valenti's vest…
It all refute his version of events.
You understand?
Nobili.
Every one of your colleagues
is lying to you.
I'm counting on you to do the right thing.
Unless this unit has changed you too.
While waiting for updates
on the road closure
that's causing major disruptions
in the West quadrant
of Rome,
we'd like to share with you now an appeal
from Stefania Cua,
the mother of Franco Cua.
The young man who has been in the ICU
for weeks after an incident involving
police in Val di Susa.
I don't know if or when I'll be
able to hug my Franco again.
If he'll go back to being
the boy he was before
or…
or if he'll come back to
me in a vegetative state.
But I do know that whoever
did this to him walks free.
They're out there,
maybe with a child of their own.
This person wears a police uniform or
should I say they're hiding behind
their uniform--
Stretching.
What's wrong?
What's going on?
Nothing.
That's not true.
Talk to me.
I did something awful, Agata.
Like what?
I… hurt a boy really badly.
Really, really badly.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
You're staying here, huh?
Hey.
There anything I can do?
No, thanks, Salvatore.
I'm sorry about your daughter, Miche.
His father's a lawyer.
Works at a big firm.
I followed him today.
And he was happy.
Laughing.
I'm going out with the guys.
You wanna come?
No.
I should finish getting settled.
Okay.
Salvatore?
Yeah?
Nothing.
Listen to this, yeah? It
takes me back to when I was a kid.
Back when you had hair? Huh?
Go fuck yourself!
-First squad let's go!
-First squad on the way!
Let's go, Squad One!
Come on.
Hey, Salvatore.
What's up?
You okay back there, bro?
Let's go, huh?
We're unstoppable.
There's something you gotta see.
C'mon.
We got a present for you.
Who the fuck is it?
Police.
I didn't do anything.
Do you know this woman?
She live with you?
Who is she?
Do you know her?
Never seen her.
I've never seen her before.
You're making a mistake.
Hey.
-It's just me here, okay&
-Sh.
Shut up.
It's you.
What are you talking about?
MR. COP
INCOMING CALL
Tell me who she is.
Tell me.
Tell me her name.
She doesn't have a name.
The hell is that supposed to fucking mean?
Those pictures aren't real.
She doesn't exist.
Let go of me.
I can't breathe. Please, let go of me.
I can't breathe.
No, no, no, no, no.
He's asking to review the agreement.
He wants joint custody.
Mm.
No more random visits. He'd
be seeing her on a schedule.
Mm.
So he'd get two days with her a week and…
And two weekends a month.
I knew this would happen.
Listen.
I was the one who said
that he'd be content

Yeah.
No, that won't be a problem.
I'm fine with it.
You're fine with what?
Having joint custody is fine by me.
Do you understand the implications here?
Because I mean… If you need more time
to review the agreement, if you don't
-understand-
-Agata? Yes, I understand.
That's it.
What?
Hey.
What's going on?
Hi, Mom.
Go down to Paola's.
-He's been like this since he got--
-I said go see Paola.
What the fuck are you doing?
Hey.
Are you drunk?
I was just about to kill her.
What did you do?
-I was gonna kill her.
-What did you do?
I went to that bitch's place.
She's…
There was a baby in the house.
Right. Get up.
Come on.
Okay. So, you let yourself get conned
on for 6 months.
You know better now, don't you?
Show me you understand.
Are you gonna puke again?
No.
You gonna do what I tell you.
Get a shift load of coffee.
Then we're gonna get back to work.
Calmly.
And that'll be the end of it.
We don't do anymore stupid shit.
It's freezing!
We questioned Vitaliano
Salis about the incident.
He claims that the act was
completely consensual.
He said they had both had a lot to drink.

That completely normal behavior.
It's a defense mechanism.
Those who experience violence
tend to want to normalize it.
And as normal as this behavior may be,
the risk is that…
that the other side may try to exploit it.
To tell you the truth,
it doesn't look good.
I'm really sorry but
I'm just being honest.
If this case ever goes to trial,
she doesn't stand a chance.
-Oh!
-I'm sorry.
Sure, sure. Excuse me.
Yes, I have already read the proceedings.

Of course I do.

Nothing, I just-
No, no.

Say it.
Say what you were about to say!

Huh.
No, Ivano.

The one Sergeant Valenti claimed was
fully destroyed by a Molotov cocktail.
The technical analyses I
ordered on Valenti's vest…
It all refute his version of events.
You understand?
Nobili.
Every one of your colleagues
is lying to you.
I'm counting on you to do the right thing.
Unless this unit has changed you too.
While waiting for updates
on the road closure
that's causing major disruptions
in the West quadrant
of Rome,
we'd like to share with you now an appeal
from Stefania Cua,
the mother of Franco Cua.
The young man who has been in the ICU
for weeks after an incident involving
police in Val di Susa.
I don't know if or when I'll be
able to hug my Franco again.
If he'll go back to being
the boy he was before
or…
or if he'll come back to
me in a vegetative state.
But I do know that whoever
did this to him walks free.
They're out there,
maybe with a child of their own.
This person wears a police uniform or
should I say they're hiding behind
their uniform--
Stretching.
What's wrong?
What's going on?
Nothing.
That's not true.
Talk to me.
I did something awful, Agata.
Like what?
I… hurt a boy really badly.
Really, really badly.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
You're staying here, huh?
Hey.
There anything I can do?
No, thanks, Salvatore.
I'm sorry about your daughter, Miche.
His father's a lawyer.
Works at a big firm.
I followed him today.
And he was happy.
Laughing.
I'm going out with the guys.
You wanna come?
No.
I should finish getting settled.
Okay.
Salvatore?
Yeah?
Nothing.
Listen to this, yeah? It
takes me back to when I was a kid.
Back when you had hair? Huh?
Go fuck yourself!
-First squad let's go!
-First squad on the way!
Let's go, Squad One!
Come on.
Hey, Salvatore.
What's up?
You okay back there, bro?
Let's go, huh?
We're unstoppable.
There's something you gotta see.
C'mon.
We got a present for you.
