- Good morning, Nelide.
- Good morning.
- I didn't think you could hear me.
- What's the problem?
- I made breakfast.
- I'm not hungry, thank you. - I knew it!
- It's ready to take away.
- You've thought of everything.
- You can't make a fool of your stomach.
- Neither can you, it seems to me.
If you had a wife, she would not
let you go out on an empty stomach.
Oh, yeah.
- Have a good day.
- Same to you.
Words in the wind!
I talk And the mister
doesn't even hear me.
Speak louder, Nelide.
Aunt Rosa.
I am not capable.
- "He who is born round, does not die square."
- No one is born learned.
Now you are here and
you have to do something
Or else our young master will
remain there spinster for life.
You guys make it easy, huh.
What do I know about love?
What a splendor, it looks
like a queen's trousseau.
Your mother has
never been so happy.
Yes, I didn't understand
What she put in her head.
- He turned the house upside down for a couple of of tickets.
- We know.
- Where has Mary gotten herself into?
- Be patient, it is worth it.
- Look at this cuteness!
- How beautiful! - Beautiful!
He didn't make her beautiful, she is
beautiful. She looks like a mermaid.
- Mom.
- What? - Please.
- What did I say wrong? He's your boyfriend.
- He isn't.
Why would a German officer
should send you so many letters?
Tell us, Maria, what
is the officer like?
Carla, you say it that you
have been to Ischia with them.
Beautiful, tall, blond. He
looked just like a... German.
- You can tell! It's German!
- There are Germans and Germans.
One who paints like this Has
a sensitive artist's soul.
- And he is in love. He made her very beautiful.
- Mother! - What is it?
- Won't you stop?
- Mamma mia, my daughter, what a temper you have.
If it were up to you, the
sealed mouth should be had!
Stitched! Mamma mia...
Don't get angry.
You know what your
mother is like.
Yes, I know what it
looks like, however...
I wish every once in a while he
would realize realize what I am like.
Give me a smile.
Let me go to work quietly.
Thus.
- See you later.
- Good work.
What is it, Raphael?
Commissioner, respectfully
speaking, eh, but...
I say what I see.
- May I?
- If I tell you that you can't, does it change anything?
A man cannot be
alone all the time.
By dint of being sad, it
gets old sooner, I tell you.
- Who tells you that I am sad?
- Even a blind man would see that.
- You are also more wasted than usual.
- By the way.
Here is the breakfast
that Nelide made for me.
Eat, you look wasted yourself.
You provoke me, but you
know I don't back down.
You can smell it from here. These
are the important things in life.
I tell you that you can favor...
- You eat it, it's better.
- Favor.
. Come in!
- Commissioner Ricciardi.
- Countess. Ruotolo, thank you.
Take a seat.
- Leave it with me.
- Thank you.
So. What can I do for you?
I would like to talk to you.
- It is important.
- You can speak freely, I guarantee it.
Whatever.
You have met my
husband, Count Romualdo.
- He is in jail for the m*rder of lawyer Piro.
- Heard.
- Sorry.
- The investigation has been closed by one of your colleagues.
Yes, De Blasio.
What can we do for you?
My husband is
not "a stickler."
With the game he ruined
himself And it ruined me too.
- Despite his vices, he is not a m*rder*r.
- Well...
Countess, he confessed.
- Mind, I know that.
- And how do you know?
He often comes back late, sometimes
drunk, sometimes not coming back at all.
But he returned home that night.
I wish I could
believe you, countess.
Why would an innocent man accuse
himself of a crime he did not commit?
- A m*rder, then?
- I don't know.
I do know, though. That he
was in the house that night.
- Did you tell the investigators?
- Yes, but no one listened to me.
- With the confession, it closed immediately the case.
- Too quickly.
Therefore, I am here, to ask
you to find out the truth.
I do not deny that you put
me in a delicate condition.
Interfering in the work of
others On a closed case...
I know, however.
When we met, you...
You seemed to me to be a man...
Who does not settle for with
the most comfortable solutions.
Was I wrong?
I am not promising anything,
but I will do what I can.

Sorry, Don Pierino,
if I disturbed you.
Good morning, knight.
Warming up my voice a little
bit, before saying Mass.
After all, even the folk song
comes from our Lord, doesn't it?
- Are you all right?
- I have to ask for your advice.
Julius, this face I
have never seen you.
- What's going on?
- Enrica.
- Is he not well?
- Healthy yes, but unhappy.
I see it, but I can't
do anything about it.
- This breaks my heart.
- What is the problem?
- She has fallen in love with a man who cannot love her back.
- Do you know him?
For the love of my daughter, I did
something that is not in my nature.
I talked to him
and he promised me
that he would clarify
his feelings for Enrica.
And Ricciardi did not?
How do you know that it is him?
I know the commissioner.
Just looking into his eyes to
know that he has a torment.
I know that he is a
fair and just man.
If you have not yet
spoken to your daughter
there must be a more
than valid reason.
Do not doubt it and be patient.
Dear Don Pierino, nothing
wears out a father's patience
Like the pains of a daughter.
- It is the most difficult profession.
- Eh.
. Come in.
- De Blasio, good morning.
- Ricciardi.
Um... What can I do for you?
I know that you have been involved
of the m*rder of one such Pyro.
- Yes, why? Have a seat.
- No, I'm passing through, disturbing you for a little while.
I'm following an investigation that
may have connections to that case.
I could use look at your file.
- You know that the files cannot leave the office.
- I know that.
- If you prefer the official ways, I'll have Garzo ask for it.
- No!
If we don't help each other
among colleagues, don't we? Eh!
Only this file is a pittance.
It is a case born closed.
Count Palmieri confessed.
- I know, and it will mean that I will make make do with what little there is.
- Ah.
I'll go get it for you.
- It is in the archive.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
So, let's see here where he's...
Ah, here it is.
Filed practice found.
Then.
Not this one... Here it is.
It's him, here he
is, see? He is here.
See? As I said.
There is the report, the report of the
medical examiner and the confession.
- Who found the body?
- Eh... the servant girl.
It was the servant girl, she found
him in the morning in the study.
- The wife was at home and the daughter at school.
- What do we know.
- De Blasio. -Eh.
- Isn't it more convenient, if you bring him in here five minutes? -Yes.
- I was asking you... - Yes.
- What do we know about the victim?
Lawyer Piro was a regular
frequenter of exclusive salons.
In truth, he was a loan shark.
He enjoyed lending money
to the lapsed nobles.
Count Palmieri of Roccaspina
among cards, horses and more
owed him a boatload of money.
- Who did the appraisal?
- Your friend, Modo.
- Who did you interview?
- Family members, the maid...
Then we stood there, the
count came and confessed.
- Can I take a look at it?
- Eh.
I'll see if I have any matches
with my case and return it to you.
All right, I'll give it to you for today.
Will you bring it back in the morning?
- It will be done. - Heh.
- De Blasio. - Eh.
- Good work.
- Thank you.
"During the night
of the m*rder."
"under the influence of alcohol
and after losing at gambling."
"Count Palmieri
goes to lawyer Piro"
"to convince him to postpone
the repayment of a debt."
Piro lets him into his office and
there they have an altercation.
Count Palmieri takes
an object from the desk
can't remember whether a
pen or a letter opener.
It hits him, gets
scared and runs home.
The next day, he decides to return to
Piro, however, he finds the police.
How come no one has heard them?
When they met the time before,
they felt them very much.
Commissioner, you know what esteem I
have of that blunt stopper De Blasio
But the solution to the case
lies on a silver platter.
To the blunt cap We have to give
the minutes back in the morning.
- You copy them, I'll go talk with Modo.
- Excuse me.
If you allow, I would
have Antonelli copy them.
- My hands are too big, it doesn't come out well.
- Do as you like.
Keep in mind that this is an
unauthorized investigation.
- We must not find Garzo in the way.
- No... Mmm!
Ah, what a surprise!
Since we have been in government,
the police are on vacation!
It is not a reproach,
it is a fact.
- Naples by now is better than Switzerland.
- Yeah.
- It seems we will soon be speaking German.
- Let's eat chocolate.
Great people the Germanic people,
there is little to joke about.
You know this, I never joke.
Forgive us, let's get back to work.
- Bravo.
- With permission. - Bravi.
As they say in these cases?
"Auf wiedersehn"! Counselor...
- "A soreta.
- Hey. - Eh!
I said: "That's it,
the eclipse is here."
- I need you.
- One first says hello, says how are you...
- No? Then maybe I'll answer you.
- How should I stay?
Being sick is not a crime
nor is saying it for now.
"Thank you, Dr. Modo, for these
kind words, I will think about it."
- All right, what do you want?
- Lawyer Piro. - "Lawyer Piro"?
- Attorney Piro. - Yes.
- What do you want to know?
- If he is still dead?
- Yes, even as he died.
How did lawyer Piro
die? Let me remember.
Lying on the desk With
his throat punctured.
- No evidence of struggle.
- The weapon? - They had not found it.
- You must have an idea.
- From the wound, yes.
The throat was perforated
from the right side
And the weapon had
severed the jugular.
This would not suggest
the letter opener
Rather to a sharp object.
- That rules out your intelligence.
- You're really fit.
- What happened today? Is there any news?
- Who can know?
- Does it involve a woman?
- You are perceptive, really.
You know what you should
do? Police commissioner.
- Do you see that this is serious?
- Yes, but it is not serious.
You don't mention the mystery woman.
Can you tell me more about the case?
Why do you care so much
Piro? One less worm around.
- That's better, isn't it?
- Yes, but something in this story doesn't sit well with me.
- At what time did he die?
- If I remember well, between midnight and two o'clock.
If you don't have any other questions
or anything else to ask, I do.
- I have a lot to do.
- What do you say, cherchez la femme?
- Something like that. Hi, Ricciardi.
- Hi.
Hawk?
I was expecting you days ago.
Autumn has begun.
No more people on the street.
No more chairs in alleys.
No more rumors.
Someone once told me that the souls
of the alleys are made of glass.
You can look through it.
- What do you see in these souls?
- Life.
- I brought you the information you wanted.
- Good.
Her name is Colombo Enrica.
As you already know, he lives on
St. Teresa Street, as does he.
Exactly in the building
across the street.
What else have you discovered?
She trained as a schoolteacher,
still lives with her parents.
The father owns a hat store.
Hawk, tell me whether there is
something between them or not.
No, ma'am, there is nothing.
The girl was dating the late
housekeeper Vaglio Rosa.
Surely they know each
other, at least by sight.
In any case
we already had a pretty accurate
quite specific about the girl.
An informative? How come?
Sometimes it is not a person that
matters, but his or her connections.
This summer, Ms. Colombo
taught at the colony in Ischia.
He met a German officer.
They made friends.
- Do you mean they got engaged?
- It is not ruled out.
- He moved to Naples recently.
- This is wonderful news.
I wish you both much happiness.
Ma'am.
I have just set you apart
of confidential information.
Man holds for us the
greatest interest.
That is why I must beg you
To keep you away from him.
- I will forgo the honor of making his acquaintance.
- It is not enough.
It would be dangerous to associate with
everyone those who have anything to do with him.
If you are referring to Ricciardi, you
know very well that I cannot do that.
Pardon my frankness, ma'am.
Why do you cling with this man?
Because I know he likes me.
I know it, I can feel it.
However, I thank you.
I know that you
value my welfare.
Hawk, tell me.
How come you know all these
things about alley life?
I am an orphan.
I grew up in those alleys.
- Don't you have a family?
- I do.
It is the Party.
Without Party, I
would be nothing.
For this, I have to ask you.
To never put myself in the
position of having to choose
between loyalty to the regime and
the feelings that bind me to you.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, countess.
These orchids are
very beautiful.
I prefer roses.
How can I help
you, commissioner?
I would like to reconstruct with
you the moments of that night.
When your husband returned
home, you were already in bed?
Did you hear him coming?
Yes, I was awakened by the
sound Of the door to his room.
"His room"?
My husband and I sleep
in separate rooms
for several years now.
Forgive me, how can you be so
sure of what you are telling me?
This is my room.
That one there is my husband's.
- If you stay here, I'll let you hear from me.
- All right.
- Was your door like this?
- Yes, I sleep with the doors open.
- Did you hear that?
- Yes.
In fact, it would
have woken anyone up.
My husband returned
at nine o'clock.
In the morning he
went out at 7:30.
During the night he never
moved from the room.
Let's assume that your
husband is no longer out
And that he had a motive to accuse
himself of a m*rder he did not commit.
However, materially,
according to you.
How did he know that
there had been a crime?
Why the next morning
go out so early?
It was a habit he had
picked up in recent months.
- I have no idea where he was going.
- You never asked him?
Romualdo and I have been
married for ten years.
We had no children
And our relationship
withered little by little.
- It happens in marriages.
- Forgive me.
I don't want you to talk to me
About things that don't concern me.
Instead, I believe
it is necessary.
I wonder if it might
not be this the reason
For which Romualdo took upon
himself A fault let it not be.
Explain further.
I wonder if in order not to
lose the little we have left
That is, the name
and this house...
Has not chosen prison to
free himself from creditors.
Forgive me, don't you think those
would try to retaliate against you?
I don't think they're
going too subtle.
No, I don't think
that would happen.
You have come to me
With a specific reason.
I trusted and this is the
reason why I am here now.
So I ask you and I hope that you
will Be sincere to the end with me.
Is there anything else I should
know. Or have you told me everything?
No, there is nothing else.
Peppers! Buy peppers!
Miss, look at
this beauty! Wait.
You can feel the sea,
like shells! Feel.
Good morning, miss!
Listen to the music!
- I don't have time to waste, I work.
- I don't work?
Sorry, I have to convince you that I
have the best vegetables in Naples.
You do not believe it.
- Taste.
- In my neck of the woods, farmers sell vegetables.
The acrobats do the
acting. Have a good day.
Sarracino, finally a girl Who
puts you back in your place!
Nothing to do today, eh?
Eh, commissioner? Have
you seen what a job I did?
- You or Antonelli from the archive?
- Now "split the hair".
- He wrote, but I dictated.
- Well!
- The defense lawyer is Moscato.
- Mmm.
Shall we go and have a chat
with the prince of the forum?
No, Raphael, I'll go there.
-I got you too involved, I don't want to get you into trouble.
-No way.
- Forget that I don't give you a hand.
- And that's fine.
Then one thing maybe you can do.
You can take a walk...
Wherever you know.
- Where do I know? - Yes. - Now? What about it?
- It has to do with it, it has to do with it.
I want to know everything About
both the count and the countess.
- Pure of the countess?
- For me, she is hiding something.
At his house there were
some very expensive flowers.
I doubt that the husband
sends them from Poggioreale.
- See you later.
- See you later.
You must be
Commissioner Ricciardi.
- Attorney Moscato, nice to meet you.
- Thank you For agreeing to meet with me.
- Do you know the count well?
- We have known each other since high school.
I love the wretch.
I love Bianca as well, but
that doesn't change things.
Could you tell me more about What
is he like, what is his history?
He comes from an
ancient, noble family.
He had a future
that he screwed up.
- Because of the gambling vice?
- That's not the vice, it's the fever.
He squandered an immense fortune
And sent Bianca to ruin as well.
To your knowledge, the count of
vices has other vices as well?
- I don't know, for example women.
- No, I exclude that.
Lately, things with Bianca
were no longer the same
But he only has that demon.
Instead, counselor, with
Piro? Relations how were they?
Can you tell me when and under
what what circumstances they met?
Ludovico Piro was a scoundrel.
Who took advantage of those who
had gone to ruin for some reason.
Romualdo fell into her net and
did not know how to get out of it.
That's why he k*lled him.
Advocate.
I would like to meet
your friend in prison
However, an official
request I cannot make it.
If you care so much,
I can accompany you.
I was hoping you would
respond like this.
Every time I have to do this
holy staircase, darn her...
You don't see me anymore,
understand? You're a "c**t"!
Hey! Why don't you watch
where you put your feet?
Sorry, it's that stinker
"f*g" is no longer receiving!
Don't worry, it opens
the door to you.
What is this confidence?
How dare you?
- I'm not here because of what you think.
- No? - No. - Why?
What do you care?
I'm here for service.
- Exactly, for the service!
- Go away or I'll take you to jail!
Yes, have fun, brigadier!
Franco, I told you that I
don't get any more! Enough!
Give me grace, resign!
You have to leave!
- What have you been up to? What are you shouting about?
- Excuse me, brigadier.
What a scare that put me!
Take a seat, take a breath.
- I'll give you a surrogate.
- Why is the door closed?
Have you met Francuccio? Mamma
mia, how suffocating he is!
- Do you have problems with Francuccio?
- No, no problem at all, on the contrary.
For once, a good thing.
-Shall I put sugar in it?
-I asked why the door is closed.
Brigadier, I fell in love.
You know how it is, one certain things
doesn't feel like doing them anymore...
for work.
Who would be the lucky one?
- I would keep that information for myself, if you don't mind.
- I don't.
You have to keep it to yourself, please. I
go ahead and camp without knowing anything.
By the way, it's not that now you
don't give me more information
why did you... engaged?
When is that? To you I cannot
deny anything, you know.
Come on, what do
you want to know?
Then, a lawyer
from St. Lucia...
- I know it! - Of course.
- Piro was his name, is that right? - Yes.
- The perpetrator has confessed, hasn't he?
- I ask the questions.
I need information on victim, alleged
m*rder*r and the countess as well.
You must let me know everything,
relationships, vices, gambling debts.
- And quickly, too.
- How not? I even have more free time now.
- Maybe one day we'll take a nice walk.
- How not?
- I'll even take you to the seashore.
- Really? In Mergellina?
I'll even give you a good dip.
- With a stone tied to the foot.
- Avoidance.
- My boyfriend is jealous.
- Eh!
- Look what you made me do.
- I'll clean it up.
Don Pierino! What
are you doing here?
Simple, commissioner,
I was waiting for you.
- Can you give me a minute?
- Sure.
- What's going on?
- I must ask you for an effort.
Try to imagine a beautiful,
good-looking priest
With lots of hair.
- Can you imagine that?
- I think I can do it, yes.
Just imagine that one day.
A father of the family comes to visit
him visit for a request for help.
He loves his daughter
and suffers for her.
She is such a sweet girl.
He has a good but fragile heart.
Seeing herself estranged
from the man she loves
is in danger of
taking the wrong path.
What if it is the
right one instead?
Loving someone, really
love him, I say.
Does not mean wanting his good,
even at the risk of losing him?
When will you let go The
pain you carry inside?
Yours is the life of a ghost.
Yes.
It is the only one
I have, though.
I ask your forgiveness, but I
had better get back to work.
I will pray every day
for you, Commissioner.
What do we tell the family members?
They know the investigation is closed.
We will come up with something.
So much for the
palace! Check this out.
Good evening, with whom do I
have the pleasure of speaking?
Mrs. Piro, this is
Commissioner Ricciardi.
This is Brigadier Maione.
We apologize for
coming here unannounced
But we assure you that
this is a formality.
I thought the matter was
concluded, or was it?
Unfortunately, ma'am, in the
minutes there are deficiencies.
- At the trial stage, they could involve risks.
- What risks?
That damned man must
stay in jail forever!
That's what we are
here for, ma'am.
We would just need
to take a look
At your husband's study.
Where it happened...
- May I?
- Please.
- How come he didn't come... Di Blasio?
- Yes, he couldn't today.
It is decided so,
no use talking.
- What exactly do you need to ascertain?
- The correspondence with the minutes.
Ma'am.
The medical examiner claims
That your husband died
between midnight and 2 a.m.
Was he used to stay at work
until such a late hour?
My husband administered very
important religious bodies.
He had the confidence of the
bishop and high state officials.
So he worked a
lot, even at night.
- Where is your daughter?
- She's here.
Carlotta, the police are here.
The gentlemen are here to verify
a few things before the trial.
Then they need to be helped.
So perhaps My prayers
will be answered.
Miss, forgive us
for all the trouble.
- When did you see your father for the last time?
- After dinner.
I gave him a kiss like every
evenings before going to sleep.
- What about you, ma'am?
- I brought him a cup of milk.
It must have been 10:30 maybe.
The morning before the
m*rder, the minutes show
That the count of Roccaspina had
an argument with your husband.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
Out of sheer humanity
Ludovico had lent him money.
- He never met the deadlines.
- Who was in the house that morning?
Me, the maid and the driver.
Carlotta was at school.
- Did you hear what they were saying to each other?
- No, the argument was short-lived.
My husband did not talk
willingly about his work.
Did your husband
have many debtors?
The man ruined our lives.
- Do you want to give the trial to my father?
- No, miss.
I understand you,
however, you must realize
that the Defense will try to suggest
the Court different hypotheses.
Different from what? The confession
Is not a definitive proof?
No, it can be retracted
until the last minute.
We are here to help you
avert such an eventuality.
My husband is dead and a man
confessed to k*lling him.
For the world, it
is closed here.
For the world maybe, for
me Will never, ever close.
Can you tell me what's up?
- Nothing.
- Shall I tell you?
Manfred is in Naples.
Don't you want to
follow your heart?
Then it ends that regrets come.
- Do you guys have any regrets?
- No.
I have always followed my heart.
I fell in love with your mother.
She wanted to get married, she
wanted children, start a family.
At first I was afraid, but
as soon as you were born.
I had no doubts or fears.
For this, just for this,
please follow your heart.
Father, I have to stop chasing
A man who doesn't want me.
A man who doesn't love me.
I have to think about my future.
As long as you are happy.
-Good evening.
-Commissioner, good evening. Sorry, if I'm bothering you.
The lady said to me. If
you can come with me.
It's late, tell her I can't.
He said it is for a
very important reason.
Clara, come in.
Ma'am, Commissioner
Ricciardi has arrived.
- Have him sit in the living room.
- All right.
How beautiful you are!
Good evening, Livia.
Did something happen?
Something has to happen, to
have the honor of seeing you?
- How are you?
- It's been a long day.
I was not referring to work.
I know what it means
to lose someone.
I know how important
Rosa was to you.
I miss him very much.
I didn't think I could
miss him so much.
I lost my son, I know the pain.
If I am so persistent with you... it's
because you brought me back to life.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
Two years ago I had
just returned to Naples.
I came to you at
the police station.
- I don't know if you remember that I told you.
- Of course I do.
That you were strolling
along the waterfront.
You saw Some kids playing.
For the first time,
I did not look away.
In that moment, I felt life
flowing through my veins again.
I ran to you And as soon
as I saw you, I knew.
The reason was you.
You give me credit
that I don't have.
Why won't you let
me to love you?
Because what you ask of
me... I cannot give you.
Is it because of that girl?
If there is something between you, tell
me. I swear, I will leave you alone.
There is no girl.
Just as well, since
he has someone else.
- How do you know?
- It doesn't matter.
He is smarter than me, he understood
right away that there is no hope with you.
The problem is not you, the
problem has never been you.
The problem is me.
- I can help you.
- No! You can't, no one can.
Just Hell.
- No kissing, I told you.
- Sorry.
- It's not for you.
- Don't worry, I know.
I have met other girls who
don't want to kiss clients.
Eh, but it's not the same thing.
They do it to keep something
tight just for themselves.
How about you?
I don't like kissing.
I don't know why.
Maybe Because they make
me feel discovered.
Maybe they scare me.
- I'm talking a lot of of nonsense, aren't I?
- No.
I like them, because
you say them.
- Me?
- Yes, you.
Look I am thinking of you, Lina.
- What do you say?
- I knew it, look! I tell the truth and I am not believed.
I think of you all the
time, day and night.
Even the gesture that you do now... I
like it, because you do it with grace.
Doctor.
Are you sure you feel well?
Never been better.
Louis.
- Mom.
- Don't give up to live, my son.
I can't, Mom.
- You guys know the reason.
- We don't know anything.
Our curse must end with me.
Without pain there is
no love, remember that.
There is no love without pain.
I want your love.
Help me...
Help me...
- Commissioner.
- Counsel, thank you for the courtesy.
Bianca has come so highly recommended, but
she should not get her hopes up too high.
- You know the way, I guess.
- In truth, no.
I don't like accompanying
people to prison.
I never like to see a man
deprived of his freedom.
Thank you.
Romualdo, have you
wasted even more?
Do you want to let
yourself starve?
- When do I go to trial?
- There is no date yet.
I didn't understand
what the rush was about.
You don't have to understand,
but to do what I say.
The m*rder was not premeditated,
I acted on impulse.
The expected
sentence is 21 years.
My conduct will be unimpeachable,
so I will leave early.
Do you want to get out
early and get convicted?
I am guilty, it is only fair.
However, Count.
That night no one saw you or
heard you enter Piro's house.
- Your wife is sure that you were at home.
- Don't listen to her.
He has tried to convince
everyone. He has to get over it.
Answer this question, how come how
come no one has seen or heard you?
Why are you doing this? What do
you have to atone for in here?
- Guard, we're done here.
- Romualdo, wait.
- You think about the process.
- Wait.
- It fits.
- The most beautiful sentence is not "I love you."
- It's "Naples ahead.
- We have a god in the midfield.
- Sorry for the delay.
- No one is stopping him.
Little girl,
then... Oh, sorry!
Little girl, but what
have you done to yourself?
Why, don't you like me?
- You are creepy.
- You are ungrateful.
I avoid you the climb and
treat me as a "mappina"?
- Hurry up, what do you have to tell me? Speak.
- Mmm...
What? What is it, a paresis? What
is it, what's wrong? Speak up!
Nothing.
This count of Roccaspina, apart
from the game, has no vices.
- You brought me here to tell me just this?
- Let me talk! Eh!
A partner of mine, who
works above a doctor
Is friends with the
countess's servant.
Even though they haven't paid her
for years, it has remained the same.
Don't stop, keep going!
- He says the countess has a suitor.
- A suitor? - Mmm.
- Commissioner.
- Countess.
What are you doing here? Do you
want news about your husband?
Yes, but first I have
to tell you something.
I lied to you the other day.
Orchids are my favorite flowers.
Why are you telling me this?
I have asked you for help And
you have the right to know.
The flowers were sent
to me Duke Marangolo.
When I said that the loan sharks
would not take it back on me
Is because I know He
would run to my aid.
But so Between you and
the duke there is...
Is there a relationship?
Yes, but not as
you are thinking.
He is in love, she is not. She
doesn't want to lose him as a friend.
- The usual story.
- He went through some trouble.
Love is always trouble, But
woe if it were not there.
Little girl! What can
you tell me about Piro?
I know a girl who was fooling
around with Piro's driver.
- A "girlfriend"?
- A colleague, former colleague. - Mmm.
So? Are you stopping? Go ahead!
So the driver was
fired on the spot.
- Why?
- They say that because their father, they cannot afford it.
Do you believe it?
The lawyer, good soul, when he
died, he left a real fortune.
If you wanted to
talk to the driver.
- How would you people do without me?
- I would camp for a hundred years!
I go, that if they see us together,
who knows what they will think.
What must they think?
Give me a break!
- I told you, my fiancé is very jealous.
- Yes, sir.
Patience!
- So Romualdo has no intention to recant.
- He doesn't.
I must say that I have never known a
man so determined to destroy himself.
Sometimes arguing with him...
I told him that he was my undoing,
that I wished he would disappear.
It is my fault, if
he made this gesture.
No, I don't think so.
Everyone is the arbiter of
his own destiny, Bianca.
Countess.
We cannot feel responsible
for everything.
Hawk.
What are you doing here?
You have not been
out for two days.
Are you all right?
You are the only person...
who really cares about me.
What happened?
What happened?
That I understood that...
I realized how stupid
and deluded I had been.
Do you continue to
agonize over him?
- I have to pity you.
- No.
- A woman alone, sad...
- No, it's that man I pity.
Also anger, Because he does
not know what he is losing.
No...
It's me who has
something wrong with me.
You don't even have to think it.
Hawk.
Would you reject
a woman like me?
Only a fool would do that.
Even a blink of your
eyes Is pure beauty.
You are kind.
But all this beauty
of which you speak...
It didn't do much good.
Evidently you are
not the problem.
I would prefer to know...
That he doesn't like women.
I would feel less hurt.
I have always tormented myself by thinking
that I was the cause of everything.
However, perhaps.
Perhaps you are right.
I can't talk about it publicly
But our archaeologists in
Pompeii have made a discovery
of which I will inform
Berlin personally.
You have taken the trouble
to bring a French wine.
Life is too short
for mediocre wines.
Did you make it?
You are an angel, Enrica.
- That's his specialty and he can do so many other things.
- Mom, come on.
It was enough for me to see
her in Ischia, on that beach.
How kindly...
Was in charge of the children.
It was sweet...
- Hmm?
- Huh? He was authoritative.
Enrica is great with children.
- Bravissima.
- Major, do you not miss your homeland?
Of course, but.
I feel that I have already
found a new home here in Italy.
Then this country is
full of treasures.
- Then what did he say to you?
- Nothing!
- Do you necessarily have to look at them?
- No! Sorry.
- Last one, go.
- Another last one? - Last one.
You have to tell me one thing,
I still don't understand.
Why does this case
interest you so much?
I promised Countess
Bianca I would help her.
- Too many things don't add up.
- I get it.
"Cherchez la femme," eh?
It beats in the
heart in these pants!
Stop talking nonsense!
If it really wasn't the
husband, why take all the blame?
Eh, why?
You always say that, don't you? Either
you k*ll For love or one kills for hunger.
- In this case why?
- In this case hunger.
- Piro was the loan shark of the nobles.
- "The nobles"? "The nobles"!
- You must flush out all the nobles for me, understand?
- Yes. - One by one.
Promise, huh? Uh!
- Come here. - What are you doing?
- Bring it! - Bruno!
- Last, I promise.
- 7th, eighth last. - Always last.
Your parents are lovable.
Thank you. Actually, maybe
my mom talks too much.
She is a very nice woman.
You, however, have
taken From your father.
And how did you understand it?
Enrica, when can
I see you again?
By themselves, I mean.
Tomorrow afternoon, maybe?
- Tomorrow is not possible.
- Then the day after tomorrow.
- Try to stay up, come on.
- I try, hard! - Yes.
♪ Moth... ♪
- Listen! Listen to that song, listen!
"Save the moth, because otherwise
it gets burned," get it?
- The "palummella" is the moth.
- Yes. - Who is the moth? - Who?
- You are commissioner, you know!
- No! - Don't lie! - I don't know.
- This is your home. God willing, we have arrived.
- Go.
- Can you manage it?
- Yes, everything is under control.
- Oi!
- Hey, come here.
- They have become more steps.
- Give me the keys, I'll put you to bed.
- The keys to the house?
- No, of the hospital. - Here you go.
Here it is.
You are a friend.
Hey! Come on, come on!
- Ah...
- Come on, walk.
Can you think of how beautiful
the children will be?
Tall, blond, mighty,
of little princes.
How much you run, Maria!
Enrica should run, to not let such
a party slip through her fingers.
- Shall I make some more coffee?
- Mmm.
Wait and hope! Do
you want to move?
Oh, Madonna! At last!
- Good morning, duke.
- Please be seated, commissioner.
Baron Ricciardi of Malomonte.
He was a close family friend.
- Are you related, by any chance?
- No.
All right, let's
cut to the chase.
The day before the crime, you
went to the Roccaspina house.
Why?
I am a morose man.
I never had any vices.
Except for one.
Bianca Palmieri of Roccaspina.
I have to ask you exactly what kind
of relationship there is between you.
Unfortunately, only friendship.
That's why a year ago
Bianca confided to me
That Romualdo had been beaten.
I knew about his debts, but...
not that he was risking his life.
So I decided to help him.
But I did it for her.
Of course.
Is it at this point in the story
that lawyer Piro enters the scene?
That pathetic
little moneylender.
I asked him to help Romualdo.
I told him That I
would honor his debts.
Under one condition, no one had
to know where the money came from.
But then something happened.
At one point, Piro... did not
wanted to accept my money anymore.
- Why is that, do you think?
- I would like to know that too.
Romualdo was his
"golden goose."
What was the need to destroy it?
You will have to forgive the
insinuation, but I have to do my job.
It is hard not to see in
the count's misfortune
the best opportunity for you.
Commissioner, I am dying,
I don't have much left.
Then I meet Bianca.
She could never
be... with a man
Only out of
gratitude or charity.
Why did you go to
her that night?
Warn her.
I feared that
Romualdo might end it.
Instead, he surprised me. I didn't
think him capable of k*lling.
I thank you for your time.
- I hope I have been helpful.
- Absolutely.
Baron Ricciardi of
Malomonte was my father.
I apologize for not
telling you right away.
It's just that... this
is a world to which I...
I have not belonged
now for a long time.
. Go ahead.
Camarda, what is it?
Maione, outside there is one
looking for a big brigadier...
With the "belly."
- He did that.
- Let him come in And then get out of my sight.
- What is this confidence?
- Come on!
You are welcome.
I am Laprece Salvatore, the former
driver of the Piro household.
- Miss Bambinella told me.
- Yes, leave it alone.
It doesn't matter.
- I heard that you were fired.
- Unfairly.
I was left without a reference and
I don't know "where to hit my head."
- Have a seat.
- Thank you.
Enrica!
What are you doing here?
- Excuse me, I...
- Excuse me?
What are you apologizing
for? No, explain it to me.
Of looking at me for so long And
then not looking for me anymore?
- Or to have made me believe...
- You scold me and that's right, though...
I know that there is a person
In your life, I have seen you.
How dare you? What
right do you have?
Do you think I didn't
see you with that woman?
Enrica!
Enrica.
I would have waited for
you for who knows how long.
All it would have taken for
me was one gesture, just one.
What is it for?
Can you tell me now What
is the use of all this sea?
Enrica!
The investment has already been activated
And I don't know if I did it right...
Ah, Ricciardi!
De Blasio just reported to me.
That you have asked to see the Piro case file.
- Yes.
- I needed it for a connection with another investigation.
- All right.
Watch where you put your hands.
I have already returned
the file to my colleague.
Ricciardi, let's
get this straight.
The case of lawyer
Piro is a closed case.
- There is a confessed offender.
- I know.
Always remember that you work for
the homeland and for the Party.
Do I make myself clear?
- How long did you serve service at Piro's?
- Three years.
I was in charge of the Fiat 525, black,
68 horsepower, beautiful as the sun.
Commissioner, the
gentleman has arrived.
- Laprece Salvatore, I am the driver Piro's.
- Good morning. Continue.
You said you were
unfairly dismissed.
- Why?
- Brigadier...
They said that without the father
they could not bear the expense
But they do have money.
- What justification have you given yourselves?
- I don't know.
The lady never liked me.
She's a harpy that one.
- Instead, what kind of daughter is she?
- No, she is something else.
She is beautiful,
but also smart.
He goes to one of the best
high schools in Naples.
In the morning I would see her leaving early,
at seven o'clock, with all those books...
- I don't know how he can read so much.
- Sorry.
- Didn't you take her by car?
- She preferred to walk.
She would leave early to meet with
her friends in front of the school.
Have you noticed
anything strange?
What do I know, an acquaintance,
a confidence that he made to you?
The lawyer? That one? Imagine,
if he was chatting with me.
In short, nothing
out of the ordinary.
Except for one thing, but I
don't know if it's important.
You tell us in the meantime.
The day before the m*rder
we went to the convent
of Our Lady Crowned
After Pomigliano d'Arco.
The lawyer was the administrator,
every three months I took him there.
The visit went as usual.
But the next day, the lawyer
told me to take him back there
As if he had
forgotten something.
It had never happened.
- Didn't he explain the reason to you?
- No.
I did not ask him anything.
After that, of notable
nothing else happened?
All right, keep yourselves
available for further questions.
More available than that! See
as well, if you can help me.
- Even driving your own car, eh.
- No need.
- I wear it very well.
- It's fine.
Of course it is strange, because
if Piro wanted to ruin the count
In my opinion there is something
else going on, necessarily.
- No? - Maione.
- What is it? - The road!
Ah.
Do not worry, you
are in good hands.
- Back to before, there is something personal between the two of them for me.
- Yes.
Eh, commissioner?
Twenty minutes exactly.
In the driving course
I was the best.
The others I hope
I never meet them.
- This is a very bad story.
- Yes, Mother.
Listen, we have heard
That the lawyer went here
the day before he died.
- Can you confirm that for us?
- Yes, certainly.
For accountability, as always.
Precisely, do you remember that he had
come to do? What did he say to you?
No, the lawyer illustrated
the numbers to me
the movements of
subsequent statements.
- Then he left.
- How did you found him? How did he seem to you?
Ah, quiet! Quiet, as always.
- How often did he visit you?
- Every end of the quarter.
- Was the information he gave you that day was complete?
- Yes.
The lawyer was such
a precise person.
If he was accurate, how come he came
back to see you the next day as well?
Well, I really don't
remember that one.
I can assure you, Mother.
He came back the next
day, the driver told us.
Of course, that is so true.
He came back the next
day's lawyer as well.
- May I ask why?
- No.
No, commissioner,
that I just can't.
It was a personal matter.
It is very important for us to know
the reasons why he came back here
For the conduct of
the investigation.
We cannot divulge the
confidences of our faithful
although unfortunately
they are no longer with us.
Mother, you must not hide from
us something so important.
As I have already told you,
it was a personal matter.
It has nothing to do with
everything that happened afterwards.
Now, however, I really am sorry,
but I am forced to say goodbye.
Understand, the convent,
the boarding school...
We really have a lot to do
And lots and lots of work.
-We leave you to your duties. Goodbye.
-Mother.
In my opinion, the "capa 'e
pezza" definitely knows something.
- How true is God.
- Yeah.
- We need to ask some questions to the Piro widow.
- I think so, too.
I should put my son,
so he calms down.
- What is he doing?
- He's giving me and mother a hard time.
- He wants to be a policeman.
- Again? - Eh.
I told you, these are the troubles
Of setting a good example.
- Is it always my fault?
- Always.
It is decided so,
no use talking.
What really happened to you?
It is decided so,
no use talking.
Commissioner.
How did you allow yourselves?
It is a violation.
You were not at home, we asked
permission from the maid.
What else do you want from us?
Rest assured, I have
only one question to ask.
- Why did you fire the driver?
- I don't see how it affects you.
- It was my husband who used the car.
- I know.
He went two days in a row to
the Convent of Our Lady Crowned.
- Why?
- My husband was in charge of keeping their accounts.
- Where is your daughter?
- At school. Please leave us alone.
Don't you feel that we have
suffered enough already?
Commissioner.
Good thing life goes on.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- In my opinion, they are waiting for Carlotta.
- What shall we do? Shall we go?
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Looking for me?
- We need to clarify just one little thing with you.
Your father on the
day he passed away
had had himself taken to the
convent of Our Lady Crowned.
- Do you know why?
- The college was one of the entities it administered.
We know, but we don't know why
he went there twice in two days.
- My father did not talk to me about his work.
- All right.
- We will not bother you any further.
- Thank you.
It is a disgrace that you
attempt to save a m*rder*r
just because he is a nobleman
and has the right friendships.
Miss.
If Palmieri of Roccaspina is
guilty, he will serve his sentence.
- I assure you.
- I really hope so.
- Maione.
- Thank you.

Bravissima!
- Brava!
- Too good.
That you have done little worldly
living in recent months is a crime.
- I will make it up to you, I promise.
- I'll introduce you to some friends.
Major, are there such beautiful
voices in your Germany?
- Manfred von Brauchitsch.
- Livia Lucani.
Such divine voices bloom only In the
Mediterranean sunshine, my friend.
Major, what brings
you here to Naples?
He oversees the work of a
group of archaeologists.
- Fascinating!!! I want to know everything.
- Certainly. - Yes.
Thank you.
In Rome, they are increasingly
interested in German.
- What did you find out about Columbus Enrica?
- She met with the family.
He seems intent
to propose to her.
That connection may prove
to be useful at some point.
There is only one problem, however.
The girl is in love with someone else.
A police commissioner.
They will not be
trivial feelings
to put at risk our interests.
- I'll take care of it.
- We need a motorcycle.
- You're right.
- We have to find the money.
- How? We need too much of it.
You are such a good boy, huh?
That's why you're going to help us.
- Me?
- Yes, just you.
You have to show whether you are up
to it and whether you care about us.
You have to show us.
What if something
happened to him?
It will be worse what happens
to him when he comes back.
- I make a face at him like this.
- Giovanni has never done that.
- I'll go down, maybe it's in the square.
- Go.
What are these faces?
- Does this look like the time to come back?
- I was with friends.
- I didn't realize it was late.
- "Friends"?
Who are these friends?
Slackers like you?
Look, I can't take it
anymore! I can't be a cop.
I can't go down with friends.
Luca is dead, but I am alive!
- Do you know why?
- The college was one of the entities it administered.
The next day, the lawyer told
me to take him there again.
It was a personal matter.
It is decided so,
no use talking.
7:10.
He preferred to walk.
She would leave early to see
her friends in front of school.
Good morning, miss.
- What are you doing here?
- Waiting for you.
I don't have time, I
have to go to school.
You haven't lost the
habit of coming here, eh?
Even though by now no one
is waiting for you anymore.
- I don't know what you are talking about.
- Take a seat and I'll explain.
- Make it quick, I have Latin in first period.
- Sure.
- Coffee for me, please.
- Yes, doctor.
For the young lady the usual.
- What do you think you are proving?
- You and Roccaspina were having an affair.
- You are crazy.
- He was a fascinating man.
I say "was," because I am afraid
you would not recognize it now.
As far as I am concerned,
he must rot in jail.
You had few opportunities
to see each other.
You have made a habit Of leaving
the house early in the morning
To have time to meet with
you before entering school.
Only that your father...
Thank you.
I was saying, your father
somehow must have discovered you.
He decided...
Of ruining the count.
Therefore Roccaspina was with
you the morning before the crime.
To talk to him.
Everyone heard them screaming, but no
one understood what they were saying.
- I heard enough.
- They weren't talking about debt.
They were talking about you. Your father
has gone crazy over this, didn't he?
You have a good
imagination, commissioner.
But let's come to
the reason why.
So your father decided
to go a second time
At the Convent of
the Incoronata.
That is not just a convent.
It's a boarding school.
You told me that yourself.
Talking about that structure,
you said the word "college."
You got the driver fired.
To prevent him from saying
anything about the second visit.
That night, when you said
goodbye to your father...
he informed you of his decision to
lock you in the boarding school.
- I will never go there! I'll run away from home!
- Go to your room.
- Dad, please.
- Shut up.
Palmieri is dead to you. From
tomorrow you are in boarding school.
- Father.
- It is decided so, no use talking.
Then you came back,
you got behind him.
You gave him one blow, just
like that. Dry and deadly.
"Why has nothing been seen?"
I wondered: "Why didn't
anyone hear anything?"
Because the k*ller
was in the house.
Or rather, the m*rder*r. You.
Could I get the
m*rder weapon back?
The next morning,
you sought the help
Of the only one who for you Would
throw himself into the fire.
Usual place and time.
My life is over...
Because of that monster.
You have nothing
to fear, my love.
I will take care of everything.
Bravo, commissioner.
You could write a novel.
I want to give you some more
details more about the characters.
- Like the protagonist's father.
- Do you admit to being you?
This is your own assumption.
Since we are playing, I'll
give it a try as well.
So, this caring father
who does not care about
his daughter's happiness
do you know what it does?
He introduces her to Duke
Marangolo, a sick old man
To combine a good marriage.
On that occasion,
she knows the count.
The little girl whom the father
offers to the old man throws himself
in the arms of the
penniless nobleman.
About him more should be said.
Have you promised that poor man That you
will wait for him until he comes out?
She did not promise
him anything.
She gave him something that
his wife never gave him.
- The joy of living.
- It is innocent.
- You can still save him if you want.
- The girl has already saved him.
The count's life
was useless, empty.
- She gave him meaning.
- Carlotta, confess.
Do not stain yourselves
Of a second crime.
Wrong, I did not
commit any crime.
In jail are those who
k*lled My poor father.
Now I have to go to school. You
know, I have a future to build... me.
A person will be
sentenced in your place.
Do you realize what it
means for your future?
Escaping justice today
will do you no good.
The evil you carry within
you will never end.
Don't feel sorry for
me, commissioner.
"It is decided so."
"Useless to talk."
-We know it happened and it is not enough to exonerate Romualdo?
-No.
We do not have in
hand actual evidence.
If the count does not
retract the confession
ours remains conjecture.
I don't want to
live with that man.
The idea of an innocent
person being ruined...
Therefore, I intend to
meet with him again.
I don't know how I can repay
you For what you have done.
I am glad I believed you.
That's enough for
me. See you soon.
I can't get over it,
commissioner, how is it possible?
She is the age of my son John.
How is it that a girl enters
into a relationship with a man?
-Kills father and mocks lawyers, police and magistrates.
-No.
The girl teased only Palmieri.
It is enough for us to convince him
That his sacrifice is meaningless.
- Commissioner Ricciardi.
- Comodi.
Do you think that one is waiting
for you 20 years? Romualdo, retract.
Please. I will make the the petition
to reopen the investigation.
If I accepted your proposal,
what kind of life would I have?
With a wife I don't love,
who judges me in silence?
Count, listen to me.
Try to focus only on this.
Carlotta would do a few years of
juvenile detention and she would be out.
What would happen to it?
A parricide tied to a penniless
like me, commissioner?
You people cannot understand...
Because you have never loved.
I am the m*rder*r of Ludovico
Piro And I will serve my sentence.
One more thing, commissioner.
I know that she will not wait
for me. And I don't want her to.
I want her to live
free and happy.
Because I love her.
- Raphael. - Mmm.
- Don't you sleep?
I can't.
John.
He didn't say a word
the entire evening.
- I don't know if we do well to go against him like that.
- What do you say?
Lucia, when one has a passion,
you can't take it away from him.
- The passion of being a policeman?
- Heh.
We have already lost one son.
Isn't that enough for you?
- Good morning, miss.
- What are you looking for at this hour?
I brought you some fresh
vegetables freshly picked.
- I got it, how much do I owe you?
- Now you want to offend me!
- Nelide, who is he?
- No one.
- When do I see you again?
- Take your foot off.
If I have to break it,
to get a promise, I do.
Wait, maybe you can help me.
Good morning.
Miss, just a minute!
Are you running away?
- No!
- Don't run away? Then check this out.
Look at these
beautiful vegetables!
Nelide, I run to
the police station.
I will certainly
be late tonight.
He has nice onions
the market boy.
- Onions?
- I can make potatoes and onions, what do you say?
- All right. - With a drizzle of oil.
- Yes. - Just the way you like it.
- Touch them, feel how they are fresh, very fresh.
- Sorry.
- Look at this onion, it looks like a heart.
- Enrica.
- Forgive me...
- This time you listen.
What I did...
I have tried to do it
for you, for your sake.
If you love someone, you have
to protect them, don't you?
The moth in the song must
not approach the flame or...
If both of you are sick, then
one wonders what's the point.
It is as if one
were two in a room.
One talks and is right. The
other speaks and is right.
It feels like going crazy And
you find yourself near the sea.
I don't know What
all that sea is for.
I can try to find out.
This is my business,
discovering things.
I will succeed.
I hope with you.
- Commissioner Ricciardi.
- What do you want? - Come with us.
I do my own thing.
Will you decide to tell
me what you want from me?
I am police commissioner,
you can't treat me like this.
Ricciardi, you may
be a commissioner...
But you don't have a
family, you are not married.
You are not engaged.
You have no female
relationships.
- Not even the brothel you frequent.
- So? What do you want to say?
From our surveillance reports
clearly emerges your
penchant for pederasty.
- You guys are crazy.
- No.
- Here you are the sick person.
- On the other hand You often attend such Bruno Mode.
We also know him well.
A few nights ago you
went up to his house.
- The two of you alone.
- He was drunk.
- I helped him get into bed.
- In what else did you help him?
You are a representative
of the state.
- Men like you should set example.
- You are so wrong.
You say. We have
authoritative testimony.
A woman of faith very
close to the Duce's family.
He stated that he would like
to to have relations with you.
- Livia?
- And you refused.
