[SINGING]
[WHEEZING]
-What are you doing here? -He's dead, you understand?
We k*lled him ! -Sssh!
- It is not our fault, it was a
disgrace. - We will end up in jail !
- No, if we keep quiet, no one
will find out about us. - How can you tell ?
We were alone, there is no evidence.
- But we have to swear it.
- What ?
- That we will never confess it to
anyone. - Yes. - Whatever the cost.
You have to swear it.
I swear.
I didn't want to... I didn't want to !
I swear I didn't mean to...
I didn't do it on purpose !
Commissa,
I don't understand one thing.
Instead of taking a nice
walk in Mergellina
getting some good air,
an ice cream with your girlfriend
do you come to the office on a Saturday ?
- De Blasio asked me for a change
shift. What did I do ? - You were saying no.
-Next week I will have an
extra day off. -What are you doing there ?
Maybe something happened
with Miss Enrica ?
Raffae', forgive me.
Do you know how Nelide would answer you ?
[in Neapolitan] Confidence
Is mistress of mala creanza.
- You are right.
[KNOCK ON DOOR - KNOCK.]
- Ué, Camardo. - Commissa',
a call just came in.
Whatever, I guess you've answered.
Yes, yes, they found a dead body
on a beach. It looks like m*rder.
- Cama', but does it still take time ?
- We're almost there, brigadie.
See, Maio ? In the end
we still breathe good air.
I don't want to contradict you, but
I just smell rotten fish.
Yes, that's right. Rotten fish.
Camardo !
Leave him alone.
He does this with the new ones, then he gets over it.
- He better get over it soon.
- Good morning.
- Did you find it ? - Yes,
as I was returning with the boat.
-I hope you haven't touched anything.
-No, I called right away.
- Did you know him ? - I have seen him
a few times, but I don't know the name.
- Which way? - That way.
- You come this way.
[I confess.]
[I confess...]
I confess.
I confess.
I confess.
[I confess.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Honey.
How do you feel ?
You are fresh.
Then maybe the problem
is not the fever or am I wrong ?
Do you want to tell me what happened ?
It's not something
you can confess, Dad.
However... you can't even keep
everything inside if it hurts so much.
And I bet
it's about the commissioner.
Then you should talk to him about it.
Between boyfriends one can tell each other anything.
In fact, one must
otherwise how will you do
when you are married ?
You are right.
I just need to reflect
some more.
- Good morning.
- Dr. Modo. - Good morning.
Commissioner,
Dr. Modo has arrived.
- This way. - The fascists
have done half a good thing
you don't work on Saturdays
and you want to take it away from me ?
The dead do not decide
when to get k*lled. Come.
He is a priest.
The fisherman says he used to come here
often. He knew the place.
He blessed the boats, even those
that never returned.
What can I tell you ? Surely he died
from this blow to the back of the head.
- When did this happen in your opinion ?
- At a first assessment...
- Six, eight hours ago, maximum.
- Dawn or shortly before.
- Yes. - At dawn?
What were you doing here at that time ?
You are the policeman,
find out. Ricciardi, it's all yours.
We can rule out robbery
as a motive.
- "Angelo De Lillo,
Societatis Jesu." - What does it mean ?
- He was a Jesuit. - If I'm not mistaken,
not far away is the seminary.
Lord God, what a tragedy !
In the many years that I have been superior,
nothing like this has ever happened.
-Do you know why Father Angelo was there
at that time? -He never went out early
Except for a last rites
or a dying confession.
- Sometimes they saw him walking
on the beach. - He loved that place
But he would go there during the day. The wind of
sea was risky for his age.
- He may have been lured there by someone
he knew. - Likely.
Father Angelo would have done anything
to comfort a soul in pain.
Do you rule out that someone had reasons
of resentment against him ?
In the most categorical way.
He was well-liked by everyone.
The most distinguished families of Naples
wanted only him as their confessor.
For the young people he was like a father.
A spiritual father, it is understood.
But even better fathers
can make mistakes.
This is coming from someone who has five children.
I see where you are going with this,
but I guarantee you no !
- Ask the favorite pupils.
- Who ? - Father Michael Police
and Father Constantine Fasano.
- Can we talk to them now ?
Of course, I'll have you accompanied.
Saverio !
Say, Father Superior.
The commissioner would like to talk to
Father Michael and Father Constantine.
They have not yet returned.
Father Constantine is with the bishop.
And Father Michael went to give
a final farewell to his mother.
Impossible, Father Angelo
had denied him permission.
- I don't know what to say. - I'm sorry,
I'm afraid you have to come back.
We will certainly do that.
In the meantime, thank you for your time.
Father.
Denying visitation
to a dying mother
Would give anyone a motive.
- Even confessing something
you don't want. - What do you mean by that ?
The victim was a spiritual father,
who knows how many secrets he knew.
Talk about the Neapolitan nobility,
as the father superior said ?
Yes, but so are his brethren.
Maybe one of them told him
something unmentionable...
And then he repented.
Sharing one's thoughts,
one's innermost feelings...
Can be extremely painful.
You never know what the reaction will be
Of those who listen to you...
Or even your own.
Then you realize it
When it is too late.
We can't do it. They have to give us
rest between shifts.
- Here they treat us like beasts.
[sotto voce] Silence.
Good morning.
Good morning brigades.
New shifts for patrols.
- That g*ng drives us crazy.
- Has there been another robbery ?
Fortunately, no,
however, the traders are afraid.
- Even someone thought about
of obtaining a weapon. - Indeed !
I seized this one
From a fabric dealer.
This is not good. Let's move,
otherwise "there will be" a death.
We do what we can,
but they have dumb luck.
Luck has nothing to do with it. Brigadier,
the problem is that we are few.
Between rounds there is a gap
of 15 minutes, but I have the solution.
- And that would be ?
- Can I ? - Sure.
This is the area
with the richest stores.
The two on duty do not go around
together, but in the opposite direction
So the 15 minutes becomes 7 minutes
and 30 seconds, practically half as long.
We are more likely
of catching the robbers.
- Why did you take the shift with the
brigadier ? - When I'm with you
I don't know whether to check the stores
or you guys making fun of me.
- He is delicate the sly one.
- Cesara', don't you start too !
Felice had a good idea. For
tonight they stay behind bars.
- Bravo.
- Duty, brigadier.
The shot is precise.
The marks on the skin make it clear
that he was on his knees.
- The k*ller lifted the stone
And hit him from above. - That's right.
There are no wounds or bruises
on his arms. He did not defend himself.
The two probably knew each other.
No one would die like that
Without trying to defend themselves,
at least to run away. - Run away ?
- You talk about something
you are familiar with. - Meaning ?
Of running away, of escapes. Only Enrica
Was able to hold you back.
Are you going to marry her or not ?
- The wedding date was set
for next week. - Oh !
- How was it fixed ? - I am no longer
sure if the wedding will take place.
No, please. Don't tell me that
you're having second thoughts about it.
- How much must you make her suffer ?
- This time it's not my fault.
Enrica realized how?
difficult it is to be with me.
Eh, give her wrong !
Doctor, thank you
for coming at this time.
Don't worry.
I saw Enrica being born.
- Now you will see her become baroness
of Malamonte. - Baroness ?
He's getting married, that's why I made you
come. You have to put her back together.
Enrica,
Dr. Migliaccio has arrived.
- For me ? - Yes. Please, doctor,
have a seat. - Enrica!
It seems like just yesterday you were asking me about
the candy after the sting
And now you are about to take a husband.
How are you feeling ? - Better, better.
It is getting weaker and weaker.
We still have many things to do.
- I had to send the seamstress back twice
times. - Do you have a cough, sore throat ?
- No, no, nothing. - Then
it will just be a little asthenia.
With a good restorative,
as early as tomorrow you would feel better.
What did
this voice on the phone ?
Nothing. He was just breathing.
All of a sudden he called me "mom."
Auditory hallucinations are
typical of your clinical picture.
Could an episode have triggered
your child's memory ?
No, for some time now my life
Is devoid of drama or gratification.
The mind is strange, sometimes even
good news can upset it.
What do you mean ?
For example,
a colleague was telling me about a woman
who is about to marry
a police commissioner.
She is so excited that she faints
two or three times a day.
We need to increase the dosage.
Take 10 more in the morning ...
And in the evening.
Luci', have you finished "pipping"
this masterpiece ?
No, stop with those hands.
Do you want to ruin the work of 24 hours ?
- Good ! How much did you make ?
Does an army have to come ? - No.
My sister and her husband come.
They haven't seen the kids in a long time.
- They have lunch here every Sunday. - No,
I let them know, only today.
- Tell the boys to set the table
for 10. - 11, Happy is coming too.
- Happy ? - At least he is nice,
he's a good lad.
- I had agents like that ! - What
is so special about this Felice ?
He brought a breath of
of freshness to the police station.
He goes on like a train despite
colleagues make fun of him.
He reminds me a lot of Luke.
Mhm.
Are soaked anchovies okay ?
Yes. Make them for tonight,
I won't be back before dinner.
Why ? Where are you going ?
I have to work. Will you check on me ?
No, but it's Sunday and you haven't seen
Miss Enrica for a long time.
- These days Enrica doesn't
wants company. - How does she not want ?
Listen, Nelide.
I know you care about both of us,
however, things have become complicated.
You may have to look after this bachelor
for a long time to come. See you later.
Holy Mother of God...
[in Neapolitan] He's gone
The fish for frying.
Now what do I make up with this ?
Aunt Ro', when you were serving me.
you thought of leaving, eh ?
Why don't you come back once ?
At least give me a hand.
Don Pierino.
Fr. Pierino,
the sermon was moving
But I am waiting for a more beautiful one for the
wedding. - I will do my best.
- Enrica how is she?
- Still a little unwell.
- Yesterday the doctor came to the house.
- I hope nothing serious.
Just too many emotions all at once.
She's not used to it.
She looks exactly like her father.
I remember the face you had
To the first notes
of the wedding march.
I wanted to ask a courtesy.
On the day of the wedding
can the organist come
an hour earlier for rehearsal ?
I wouldn't want
anything go wrong.
For the decorations,
the florist I would like to have the...
Mary, let us leave Don Pierino
to his duties.
- There is time to talk, isn't there ?
- Yes, you are right.
-A daughter marries only once
in a lifetime. -Thank you.
- Goodbye.
- God bless you.
- See you soon.
- See you soon.
- Don Pierino. - Your
future in-laws have just left.
Yes, I saw.
But did something happen ?
I took your advice.
I talked to Enrica.
- I let her get away. - And how ?
- Simply, as is right.
Not all people can
bear the weight of certain secrets.
The soul that has to hold them up,
sooner or later falls ill
If you don't share them with someone.
In any case, I am here
to tell you about Father Angelo.
-You heard about the m*rder. -Father
Angelo was a good priest.
I prayed for his soul.
Many people wanted to go to confession
only with him. Why do you think ?
Commissioner
a priest is a conduit
between man and God.
There must be a relationship of
absolute trust between the confessor
And those who choose it
To free their souls.
Father Angelo knew how to listen.
He did not judge.
The mystery is all here.
- All right. Thank you. - Commissioner,
Enrica can also listen.
I'm sure she just needs
a little more time.
Some things should not be confessed.
I cannot blame you
If you can't absolve me.
Have a good day. - Have a good day.
- How come four place settings ?
- They haven't been seen for days.
The baron will be pleased
come to lunch.
Dr. Migliaccio works miracles.
- Good morning.
- What did I tell you ?
- Good morning, honey.
- How are you feeling? - Eh, I mean...
-We were talking about Luigi Alfredo. Why
don't you call him? -No, no, Mama.
- I don't want to be seen
in this state. - A little makeup
And I would be more beautiful than before.
In fact, while you're settling in, I'll go there.
- No, what are you doing ? - Finish
Set the table, I'll go and come back.
But why does he always do this ?
Countess,
Commissioner Ricciardi is here.
- Good morning, Bianca.
- Luigi, what a nice surprise!
Too bad, I'm on my way out. I have to run
some irrimandable errands.
Charles has just fallen asleep.
Not feeling well ?
Ah...
I thought you had heard.
His sickness has returned.
Medication helps him, but...
It gets worse every day. - I
I was unaware of it. It pains me a lot.
- If I can do anything, please tell me.
- Thank you.
[BELL]
- Mrs. Colombo ! - Good morning,
Nelide. I wanted to warn Baron
That Enrica has recovered. -E'
been unwell? -No, nonsense.
Minor stuff.
A little bit of influence.
- E... we wanted to invite the baron
for lunch. - Today ? - Yes, today.
- I don't know if he will be back in time.
- Why ? Is he not at home ?
- It came out early. - Ah...
On a Sunday? - Yes, on a Sunday.
- How come ?
- Because. Because...
The young man was called
by the commissioner this morning
For an important work thing.
-I understand, work first.
Be sure to tell him
that we are waiting for him for coffee.
Of course, I will definitely report.
- The baron is always welcome
in our house. - I will accompany you.
- All right. Have a good day. - To you.
- Don't forget you. - I won't forget.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
You are even more gallant today.
If I didn't know you
I would think that you came here
Because you need something.
Actually it is.
There is one thing I would like to ask you.
- Did you know
Father Angelo De Lillo ? - Yes.
I know that he was a spiritual adviser
much in demand among the aristocracy.
He was a friend to many
and so many were very devoted to him
maybe even too much.
- In what sense ?
Thanks to him, the Jesuits
received donations and bequests
over the course of time,
even an entire castle.
The late Marquis Berardelli de
Paoli willed it in his will.
She is growing up.
That little bow looks great on her.
How beautiful you are !
-Somebody else is growing up, too.
-He has grown up.
- He is the man of the house now.
- He is.
- Ué !
- This is Felice Vaccaro.
- This is Mariano, my brother-in-law.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Do you have to arrest anyone ?
- You, if you're being funny.
- Yes, I'm in uniform, but ...
- Don't worry about it.
- This is his wife, Anna, known as Sciù
Sciù. - Good morning. - Good morning.
- You were agitated, I was expecting
a general ! - A general...
- Is that true, Shoo Shoo ?
- That's right, just a general.
> Sit down, it's ready !
- Let's go and sit down.
Dad, Vaccaro's uniform is beautiful.
- You made the general sit in
Luca's seat. - I got distracted.
- Sorry, I'm going to put it right.
- Come with me. - Sure.
- Shall I stand here ?
- Yes, yes.
Thank you.
-What have you done to yourself there ?
-Can you see much? A little thing
During a robbery. - He confronted
three "robbers" alone.
- And who is he, Joe Petrosino !
- Joe Petrosino...
They took me from behind. Two
were holding my arms, the third....
- The third one "axed" me.
- What did you guys do ?
I was stuck. What could I do ?
At one point
I looked into his eyes and ...
Pu ! I spit in his face.
You k*lled him !
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Next.
- Good morning.
- Commissioner, have a seat.
Excuse me,
but what are you doing here on Sunday ?
I came to meet
Father Michael and Father Constantine
And also to talk with you.
I lost my parents
when I was little, commissioner
But the Lord
made me meet Angelo.
- He was like a father to me.
- Also to me.
What was he doing on that beach
in your opinion ?
He used to go there to pray. He used to say that
that place filled his soul.
-Were you with him ? -I
and Father Constantine? -No, just you.
Father Angelo forbade you to see
your mother. You will be sorry.
You're not thinking
that it might have been me ?
That of the Society of Jesus
is a mission, commissioner.
Personal relationships
must not interfere with the work.
Father Angelo reminded everyone of this.
You can check it out if you like.
I was at the Camaldoli to give comfort.
To a person who was dying.
I only returned this morning !
Michele, tone it down.
Forgive me, father.
- I apologize. - What do you know
tell me about the Berardelli family ?
The late marquis
was very close to Father Angelo.
He has left you
a part of the inheritance.
Vietri Castle. The wife
of the marquis agreed.
Perhaps we should talk about
Count Tullius' visit.
- Who are you talking about? - The other heir,
the grandson of the marquis.
He did not agree much
with his uncle's wishes.
One morning he showed up here
at the seminary
And threatened Father Angelo with death
because of the castle.
We were all present.
He is about to reach for the g*n,
but the ring on his finger
jams in the holster and...
Bam ! He shoots himself in the foot.
The three who were fighting,
seeing the whole scene
They took him to the hospital !
You have had an adventurous life
For being so young.
It happens to all police officers.
Indeed, but it is strange that they happen
more to him, no ?
In what sense ?
Uh ! It's getting late,
we have to leave.
Just now
that we were having a laugh.
- I left the house in a mess.
- Hear ?
- Happy, in the hospital
what happened ? - It happened...
John, you have asked enough
questions to Felice, it's not polite.
It's late for me, too. Thank you
For the lunch and the company.
-I will accompany you. -Brigadier, I'll
see you tomorrow at the police headquarters. -Sure.
Goodbye.
[BELL]
This must be the baron.
> Don Pierino, it is a pleasure to have you
home. > I came to see
How is your daughter doing. I hope I am
not disturbing. - No disturbance at all.
- Good evening, Don Pierino.
- What a heady smell !
I'll bring you a cup of coffee right away.
Please be seated.
So, Enrica, how are you? Huh?
I can tell from the look in your eyes
That you are still not healed
From what the commissioner said.
- Did he discuss this with you? - No.
You are the only one
to whom he entrusted himself
And the only one who can absolve him
or grant him damnation.
Don Pierino,
what he confided to me...
Is of an enormity...
I don't know if I'm up to it.
What's wrong with you ?
You're nervous from lunch !
Ah, you don't know anything about it, eh ?
I laughed at the silliness of
your brother-in-law, what did I do wrong ?
- You invited again for lunch
that one! - Happy ?
- What's wrong with that ?
- What's wrong with that ?
It's false, I don't like it !
What's more, you made him sit there !
I forgot. For once,
after so many years, is it a crime ?
He ruined the lunch
With his useless chatter !
- They are not useless ! The one who ruins
the lunches, is you. - Me! - Yes, you.
- I ! - You!
We are afraid to laugh at the table.
You make us live Sunday
as if it were a penance !
- Nelide, I'm going to go.
I'll see you later. - Cheers.
You came back late yesterday,
but Miss Enrica had come
To invite you for coffee.
- Enrica? - I mean, the mother.
- Stop by at least to say hello.
- No. No, I won't make it in time.
- I have to go to police headquarters.
See you tonight. - See you tonight.
[INAUDIBLE VOICE]
[in Neapolitan] I have to take
time, time fixes everything !
-Ladies, excuse me ! -Oh, God... -Not
told me what you want for dinner.
- Do I have to tell you ? Do whatever
you want. - Yesterday I made anchovies
And you didn't eat them. - I was
come back late. I will eat them tonight.
No, there is no fish buying on Monday.
I want to make a good chop.
Good. Can I go ?
[Together] I need to talk to you.
- When you told me, I was
I was terrified. - I understand that.
I had sworn to myself
never to talk about it with anyone.
- This thing that happens to you...
- This fact. - Yes.
When did it start ?
When I was little.
As a child in my father's lands
I saw a farmer...
lying on the lawn and with a...
large wound on his chest.
What did it say ?
It amazed me.
He was looking at me
With these blind eyes...
As if only I could understand it
As if I could alleviate
his suffering.
It must give you a pain that
I can't even imagine.
My mother told me.
"Get used to being alone ...
Or they'll think you're crazy."
No...
You are not crazy
And I am not afraid of the fact.
I'm just afraid that I won't be able
to help you, however, I want to try.
If our children
will inherit this condition
we will protect them
as they did not with you.
Then you still want to marry me ?
- Good morning, commissioner.
- Good morning.
Commissa', what's wrong with you ?
I haven't seen that face
for a few weeks.
I'm getting married in a few days.
It's natural to be happy, isn't it ?
- In addition, the survey seems to be making
progress. - I knew it !
You did not rest on Sunday.
What did you find out ?
Father Michael has an alibi, but
verification, I follow another lead.
- Which ? - The victim
Was named in the will
Of a deceased aristocrat
recently, Marquis Berardelli.
An heir, a certain Count Tullius,
did not take it very well.
- So a crime dictated by
hunger. - Yes, an inordinate hunger.
- Commissa', they are never full.
- Never.
I'm home !
- Good morning.
- Good morning. - Dad.
Morning. The walk has
did you good, you look different.
- I brought you the paper. - I
I read at the store, I'm late.
- Good morning.
- Good morning. - Mama...
Have you seen how beautiful
these flowers ?
- I would like to have them the same at the
ceremony. - Wildflowers ? - Yes.
For your wedding you need
Hydrangeas, or rather no, peonies. Wait.
- See here.
- What is it? - The wedding favor !
See. Capodimonte porcelain.
It's a little expensive, but marriage
only happens once in a lifetime.
- Forgot ! The list.
- Ah !
What is it ?
Have I forgotten someone ?
No, in fact, there are too many.
- They are all but the closest
closest friends. - And who would they be ?
Dr. Modo, Brig.
Maione with the family, Nelide !
Nelide ?
Enrica.
It is a baron's wedding.
- Also invited are a duke
and a countess. - So ? - How ?
-We cannot approach him with a servant girl
and subordinates. -Subordinates ?
What subordinates, Mama ? That
is Luigi Alfredo's family.
- They are like you and daddy to me.
- You are going to be a baroness.
You can no longer mingle
With those below you.
Without them
the list is worthless.
Louis Alfredo
Will agree with me.
I am sorry if you cannot
understand it, but it is not my problem.
Enrica... Enrica ?
-Good morning. -Good morning. -I'm looking for
Count Tullio Berardelli, is he home?
- Well, it depends.
- It depends on whom, sorry ?
Are you a creditor ?
No. This is Commissioner Ricciardi,
of the Royal Police Headquarters.
Sorry, I didn't recognize you,
but these are the arrangements.
The count is in the house, please.
Second floor.
Thank you.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Good morning, this is Commissioner
Ricciardi. I'm looking for the count.
Good morning -- commissioner.
Sure, please have a seat.
I am Alba Dentice d'Accadìa.
Countess, forgive me
If I have not greeted you properly
But I didn't think I knew her
right away. - They are just formalities.
As you can see, we no longer have
more servants to serve
along with much more.
Follow up.
- May I ask the reason
of your visit ? - Sure.
I investigate the m*rder of Fr.
Angelo De Lillo. Did you know him ?
And who didn't know him ?
An old swindler.
Tullio, this is Commissioner Ricciardi.
- Good morning, earl.
- Good morning.
Sorry, but.
why be hypocritical ?
That priest knew how to play his
his cards.
Can I ask you to explain well
what you mean by that ?
That I'm not surprised
If he ended up like that.
Under the guise of being
spiritual guidance
Always snatched up some property.
- Like the castle in Vietri.
Not only that. He secured palaces
of half of Naples to his order.
The night he died, between Friday
and Saturday, where were you ?
And who remembers, commissioner ?
Why this question ?
- Because he suspects you
of k*lling him, Tullius. - Me?
- I was at home. - In fact you have
just said you don't remember.
We were together, commissioner.
- He was seen making death threats against
the victim. - I know, I was there
But if you think he may have
k*lled him for the castle, you are wrong.
My uncle bequeathed everything
to the old woman.
She spends Mondays at the Jesuits
doing charitable works
And us cataloging everything
they have not yet taken from us.
Excuse me, countess,
who would be the old woman ?
His aunt, the widow of the marquis.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Commissioner. - What did you find out ?
- Father Michael was at the Camaldoli
When the m*rder was taking place.
- We are back to square one.
The countess says that her husband was
at home with her on Friday night.
Excuse me ?
Come, come.
There seems to be something
you want to tell.
I shouldn't say this,
but they are telling you a lie.
Count Tullio on the night between
Friday and Saturday he was not at home.
- Are you sure ?
- Very sure. I saw him go out
and return the next day at
lunchtime. His face was distraught.
[> KNOCK ON THE DOOR]
- Forward. - Director,
you sent for me ?
Dr. Modo, good morning. Sit down.
Tell me, what's going on ?
- The guy you made me
hire, Camillo... - Yes, Camillo.
-He overturned a stretcher
On a colleague. -He is inexperienced
Can't move around the hospital yet.
I'll talk to him. - You don't understand.
He spilled it on them by
forcefully. They almost came to blows.
Dr. Modo.
Camillo ?
Cami', come.
What is this story ?
I insisted on hiring you
here and you argue with everyone ?
Doc, I don't argue with anybody,
I just answer them.
These are my problems. Everyone thinks
I am your protégé.
Which protected ! You don't have to
answer with your hands, clear ?
Look at my face when I talk to you.
We are not in the middle of the street.
- Here the problems are not solved
as you are used to. > Camillo !
- Let me go or who knows what
they think. - Do we understand each other well ?
If you get nasty again,
I will kick you out of here, is that clear or not ?
Wait a moment.
Look at it with more light.
- Is the waist too tight ? - It's not.
it's that. It's all these laces.
I was expecting something
simpler.
Enrica, but if it's because of the cost,
don't worry about it.
The lady said
that she gives us a good price. Right ?
No, it's not because of that.
- The idea that you have
made of marriage. - What do you say ?
I chose the best suppliers.
[BELL IS THE FLORIST].
> Good morning, signo.
> What are you doing here, Nelide ?
- I called her, Mom.
- Good morning.
-Who knows better than you the tastes
of Louis Alfredo? -The tastes? -Eh.
You don't have to get angry. I know
that you try to do everything on your own
And I thank you, however, it is our
marriage. It has to look like us.
For the decorations, I called
St. Teresa's florist.
Here is the list you asked for.
These are the dishes that we can
prepare, Cilento recipes.
Instead, the invitations
that have not been delivered ?
A trusted person delivers them.
- Have a good day.
- Goodbye.
-Why don't we arrest Count
Tullio ? -Garzo is waiting for us.
Before I arrest an aristocrat,
I want to be sure of the motive.
- Commissioner! - Father.
- What are you still doing here?
Forgive us. We know that the widow
Berardelli is here every Monday.
Yes. He was coming to meet
Father Angelo
But now the new confessor
is Father Constantine. Follow up.
My nephew Tullius is an idiot and a
squanderer, you may have guessed.
That is why your husband did not
left him nothing as an inheritance ?
Everything was going to be on the line,
including that castle in Vietri
who went
to the Society of Jesus.
It is now a residence
for the needy and hungry.
Words unknown to Tullio,
but perhaps not for long.
It will do him good to understand what it means
To own nothing.
Did you know that he had threatened
death to the victim over the castle ?
I said he is stupid, not a
m*rder*r. What would he have gained ?
- When I die, it will still have
everything in my dowry. - Everything ?
The castle is worth little compared to the
fortunes accumulated by my husband.
As long as I'm alive, I don't want to see
their disempowerment by Tullius.
I understand.
Perhaps your grandson does not have a
motive, but he lied about his alibi.
Then find out why.
Father Angelo
could not have k*lled him.
Perhaps, however, Mr. Terlizzi
can help you.
- Marquesa.
- Commissioner.
Mr. Terlizzi ?
Yes, Mario Terlizzi,
old childhood friend.
Only with Father Angelo
he would let himself go.
This Mario Terlizzi...
why didn't you mention him earlier ?
- He has not come to the seminary for a long time.
- Uncle Mario is old and sick.
Why do you call him "Uncle Mario" ?
We are all very fond of him,
as we were to Father Angelo.
- Do you share what
the marquise about her grandson ? - Yes.
Tullio could not conceive
a plan to k*ll someone.
- The wife ? - Countess Alba
is an intelligent woman
Who fell in love
hopelessly with the wrong man.
It may have lured the victim
to the beach
With the complicity of the husband ?
- No, it is impossible.
Although Father Angelo, summoned
by a woman in distress
Would definitely have gone there.
- All right. See you soon, father.
We need to understand that they were hoping
to get the Berardelli accounts.
-Maybe nothing tangible, as
we are led to believe. -What do you mean ?
Sometimes pure and simple revenge
as a motive is more than enough.
[BELL]
- Good evening, this is Commissioner
Ricciardi. - You're welcome. - Thank you.
- This is Brigadier Maione.
- Good evening.
Judith, who is she ?
We need to talk
with Mr. Terlizzi.
Yes, but he is very fatigued.
Be sure not to agitate him.
- Sure.
- You're welcome.
Commissioner Ricciardi is there.
Good evening, Mr. Terlizzi.
We need to ask you some questions.
For the friend... For Father Angelo ?
Yes. May I ?
My friend -- since school.
Now he has left me alone.
- You had been dating each other
for a long time. - A lifetime together.
But by now-he had so many commitments
And I am confined to this bed.
- Do you think there was anyone
who wanted to harm him ? - No.
He was a meek man.
He preached to the people
To endure everything
to achieve the ultimate reward.
- Has he ever told you about the
Berardelli family ? - Yes.
He also said that on Monday he had to
see the marquis' widow.
When did he tell you ?
[COUGHS]
Last week...
at the seminar.
- At the seminar ?
They said you hadn't been there
for a long time.
- Leave me alone ! I'm sick!
- You are right. Forgive us.
With permission.
Raffae', can you see someone in that
conditions to leave the house ?
No, commissa, absolutely not.
Terlizzi has more questions
to answer.
We need to go back and talk to him
and with the Jesuits in the seminary.
You are right.
For now, the only suspicion
Is Count Tullio Berardelli.
Let's focus on him.
[KNOCK ON DOOR].
Come in !
- Brigadier, you have to come. - What has
happened? - They are fighting over shifts.
- Commissa', sorry. - Go, don't
worry about it, see you tomorrow.
[EXCITED DIALOGUE].
- You play the "guappo" only because
the brigadier protects you. - Me ?
The latest arrival
Has to take orders from us.
Ué ! In short! What's going on here?
Shall we calm down ? I asked
Vaccaro to take care of the shifts
Because he is good at organization.
I do not favor anyone, is that clear ?
Now get to work, come on, move !
Unbelievable.
Felice, won't you wait for me ?
Don't worry. In fact,
tonight I have you replaced
So you can go home.
- No way.
Until we get them,
I want to be there.
And then ... the later I get home,
the better.
My wife has been freaking out lately.
the numbers. You must have noticed, haven't you ?
By the way, sorry about yesterday.
My wife as soon as she sees a boy
and a uniform, she goes crazy.
It's for your son Luca, huh ?
He was a good policeman, like you.
It must be terrible.
- Mama would have gone crazy. - Keep
your eyes open, mind you.
Brigadier, you know,
I lost daddy when I was little
But I am sure that if I had
met him, he would have been like you.
You are a good young man.
In my house you will always be welcome.
Next time.
I want to meet your girlfriend.
- Ines. - Ines, bravo.
- With much pleasure, brigadie.
[COUGHS]
That's better, thank you.
Bring me some water. I want to
take the medicine, please.
How do you feel ?
As one who in a while will not
will no longer be able to take care of his business
Not even from the bed.
- The doctor changed the treatment.
-You'll see, in a few days
you will be better. -In a few days ?
- Bianca, in a few days
I won't be there anymore. - But what are you saying ?
What are you saying? Stop it.
- You should take care of everything.
- No. - Listen to me.
I had the lawyer call.
He's a big talker
He loves the gossip of nobility,
But he is a serious person.
- Carlo, I don't... I can't.
- I know.
I know, Bianca. I know everything
But you are the only person
I've ever trusted
the only one I ever loved.
Who else should inherit
everything I own ?
I only ask you
one thing in return.
To be happy.
Promise.
- Promise !
- I promise.
- Permit ?
- Here's the nuisance.
Counselor -- come.
Good evening, duke.
White.
- Bianca, what are you doing here?
- Luigi.
- Carlo is asleep, I wanted to bring you some
news in person. - What news?
Count Tullio Berardelli
has been at a gambling table
from the night
until the following noon
When they k*lled Father Angelo.
- And how do you know that ?
Carlo's lawyer. He knows
all the gossip in town.
And then he was there on behalf
of a client's family.
- Are you sure ? - Yes. It has been
hired to contain losses.
Had my husband had it too
in his time...
Countess !
- I find her radiant.
- Good evening, Your Excellency.
Changing lives often
leads to ruin
But for you
it has been a blessing.
To what do we owe your presence ?
-I stopped by to say hello to an
old friend. -Our Ricciardi
Who in attendance is no less
than the son-in-law of the beloved Duce.
I have to go now. Goodbye.
- My respects.
- Thank you.
By the way, Ricciardi.
I understand that you are visiting
the nobility a little too often.
Are you referring to the m*rder
of Father Angelo ?
Also to the Berardelli family.
I will not be the one to tell you that
caution is imperative.
There is no problem, Excellency.
The suspicions about Berardelli
have just fallen.
- From tomorrow I will concentrate
on other tracks. - Good, good.
Good night.
Manfred ?
Clara ?
Clara ?
- Tell me, madam.
- Where is Manfred? He's gone.
- Do you need anything ? - How much
did I sleep ? - All afternoon.
Make me a cachet.
I have a terrible migraine.
- Sure.
- Clara, one more thing. - Yes.
-Tell Arturo to get the
machine. Thank you. -Right away, ma'am.
A colleague was talking to me...
Of a woman who will marry
a police commissioner.
Livia.
Are you okay ?
I wanted to hear this from you.
What ?
If it is true that you get married.
- With that little teacher, right ?
What's her name? - Enrica.
Enrica, I knew that.
Livia.
I help you.
I'm fine.
Do you know a funny thing ? Yesterday
I found my wedding rings again.
When I touched them...
I felt emotion for you.
After so much pain
I'm glad that you finally
found some happiness.
At least you.
How do you think I
can stand it ?
I just wanted to look at you
one last time
In those eyes of yours...
One last time why ?
- Hold on, I'll help you.
- I can manage by myself.
Livia.
Goodbye, my love.
Livia.
Here is lunch.
I made pasta and potatoes.
- Put some more in, maybe
I won't be back tonight. - Again ?
Until we catch
those th*gs, I'll ...
I want to do the patrols personally.
- Did you also put it for Felice ?
- Felice ?
- We take turns together,
I eat and he watches ? - Eh...
There is not enough.
- Oh, no ? There isn't? - No.
- Then you know what I do ?
Let's go to the trattoria,
for lunch and dinner ! My treat.
How much did you drink last night ?
What ?
Last night--how much did you drink ?
Why do you ask ?
You fell asleep like a rock.
You were babbling in your sleep.
There was that child...
It was... It was true.
It was there.
Livia, I am worried about you.
[BABY CRYING]
- Do you hear that? - What?
[BABY CRYING]
Sssh !
I can see that...
[BABY CRYING]
Do you hear him crying?
Do you hear him ?
- It's just a baby crying.
- It's Carlo. It's Carlo, Carlo...
- It's him. - No, it's a child...
- Yes, it's him !
He's... Carlo is looking for me.
It's my son !
My son is looking for me !
- Charles ? - Livia,
there's no one left. - Carlo ?
-Livia... -He's calling me.
-I don't hear anything, there's no one there.
- Let go of me! Leave me alone!
- Livia! Livia!
- Livia, look at me !
- Let me...
Livia.
[MUSIC FROM GRAMOPHONE]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Go ahead.
- It's here.
Bring him in.
Good morning, Excellency.
What's new, doctor ?
Everything as established.
I followed your instructions.
- And how are you responding ?
- Exactly as we expected.
- A little time like this
And it will be ready. - Good.
- Keep yourself available at all times.
- Of course. Regards.
It is about to begin
the most delicate phase.
It is imperative
leave nothing to chance.
Ms. Lucani is under surveillance
even at night.
After all, it is a pity
For that woman.
- Such a beautiful voice...
- Beauty can last a moment
But the greatness of the party
is forever.
- Miss Enrica. - Nelide !
- But what is this?
How what is it ?
You still haven't opened it ?
Thank you for the invitation, but it is not
the case. I can help in the kitchen.
- In the kitchen ? Doesn't it look bad ?
- In what way ?
- The best man must stand
close to the bride. - The best man ?
Of course ! Without you the marriage
would not have been possible.
Thank you, what can I say... Thank you !
Congratulations. The letter carrier
has been important.
- I don't say the best man, however
a place at the bottom of the table... - Ué !
- Don't take yourselves into confidence. - E'
a joke. - You guys are right.
- How ? - You are right. Nelide,
without a chaperone at the wedding ?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
[OVERLAPPING DIALOGUES].
- Well ? What are these faces ?
- There was another robbery.
- Where ? - At Caputo's, the one with the
hides. They were waiting for a supply
They had a lot of cash in the till.
- The thieves were informed.
The wife said that her husband
had talked about it at the bar.
The wife ?
What happened to him ?
He is in the hospital. He wanted to stop
the thieves, but they beat him.
This is attempted m*rder.
Organize the teams
and question the frequenters
of the bar and leather shop.
[SINGING]
Girls',
if one day I have to arrest you
Be found down the stairs.
Brigadier, how sweaty you are !
I'll dry you off or you'll have an accident.
It must come to you if you don't stop
putting your hands on me
With this "stinking little map" !
Tell me about the investigations I follow.
- Brigadier, you know that priests are not
are my article. - What priest !
- I'm talking about the investigation
on the robberies. - The robberies ?
First you don't want to take
a nice surrogate ?
The client just now
licked his whiskers.
Maybe he used
this little cup. No, thank you. Speak.
Brigadier, you always came
To me when there were dead
And I helped you
because it is a sin to k*ll
But that is another story.
He who steals from a rich man
To feed his family...
He is a scoundrel, especially
if he almost kills with a beating
a poor Christ
like the leather worker Caputo.
Brigadie',
it's not that I don't want to help you, eh ?
Understand.
I just...
I can't be explicit.
I should do as Isabella did.
Who is Isabella ?
Isabella, the wench who spoke
And could not be understood.
- Was she a foreigner ? - No,
she was from Cumae. Isabella the Cumaean.
Isabella the Cumana...
- The Cumaean Sibyl!
And you say Isabella ! - She.
However what I can tell you
is that the g*ng is made up
of three boys from St. John's
Very poor, plus one.
Plus one ?
Mind. He does not participate
in the robberies, however, he organizes them.
He does this to give a wedding
queen to his fiancée.
And who is this scientist ?
Has the record broken
Or are you protecting someone ?
Certainly not him, but you.
Do you know what happened to Sibyl?
They locked her in a cage.
- I want the name of the mind. - I'll tell you
I tell you the name of his girlfriend.
She is a good girl from Portici
and then.
I want the name.
Ines, brigadie.
Her name is Ines.
Mr. Terlizzi, please forgive the
trouble. I will take up very little of your time.
The other day you said
that you went to the seminar
visiting Father Angelo. Do you
remember ? - I live in the memories.
- The past is a damnation.
- What had you gone there for ?
To confess.
I needed...
this absolution.
At least this time...
- He didn't give it to me. - What does
does "at least this time" mean ?
How serious was this sin ?
Enough...
To end up in hell.
I do not understand you.
Explain to me, Mr. Terlizzi.
[COUGHS]
Mr. Terlizzi ?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
but you have to leave. - Sure.
You can see for yourself. I'll be right back.
Does Mr. Terlizzi
is in the habit of confessing ?
Of course, every Sunday
Father Michael used to come here.
He said he went
to the seminary for confession.
- The seminar ? How ? - I don't
I know, however, he just confirmed it to me.
It is unlikely.
If it happened, it must have been...
Thursday, on my day off.
- Yes, thank you.
So ? Any news ?
We heard from all the customers of
that bar and the store, but nothing.
Then there is nothing left
but to continue making the rounds.
And we continue them, brigadier.
Tonight the commissioner has
asked about me, Camardo and Cesarano.
Do you--can you make do ?
We will definitely find a way.
Rest assured.
I know there are only a few of you, but you have to
be very careful of the gallery.
I heard that the jeweler Scotto
is doing golden business.
Commands.
Have you heard from the brigadier ?
Let's go ! We will arrest them tonight.
- Where are you going ? - You said
that the commissioner is waiting for us.
- I told a lie. - A lie?
- Tonight we have to do something.
Only the three of us can do it.
Is that clear ?
Mario Terlizzi told me that you
confess him every Sunday.
Yes, but he never has much
to say. Elderly, bedridden...
In fact, it seemed strange to me
that he came here last Thursday.
Here, commissioner ?
And how would he do that ?
I don't know, but maybe he had something
very important to say.
It seemed unlikely.
We can ask the janitor.
Father Michael.
Terlizzi said he came to
have the victim's acquittal
at least once.
What do you think it means ?
I don't know. Father Angelo
never told me about it.
They were very close.
They had met...
What was the name of the school
where your father taught ?
The Victor Emmanuel Institute.
Tell me, Father Superior.
- Have you seen Mario Terlizzi
on Thursday ? - Yes.
He arrived in a rental car,
saw Father Angelo in the parlor
But he could not stand
upright. - This is absurd !
- What did they say to each other ?
- I didn't hear.
They seemed to be fighting,
Terlizzi was crying. He looked sad.
- I had never seen him
in that state. - Thank you.
Brigadier, but are you sure it
it works ? These no longer come.
They come, they come, don't worry.
There they are, brigadier.
- Freeze ! Drop your weapons !
- Drop the knives !
Drop it !
Now we're going to have
a good talk.
-What a beautiful book this is.
-You keep it. I'll give it to you if you want.
Really ?
People will come to meet you
To adopt you.
I heard Mom and Dad
talking about it yesterday.
No more reading. Turn off the light.
Good night.
- You must be ashamed of yourself.
- Listen to me, brigadie!
I didn't do it for me, I swear !
Did you make it for Ines,
for the fairytale wedding ?
Yes, for my Ines.
Can you blame me for that ?
I am only sorry
that I have made fun of you.
I know that deep down in me
you saw your son Luke.
My son Luca you must not
you must not even mention him, understand ?
My son...
had a heart this big.
He sacrificed it
To stop people like you
Who takes advantage of others
to do his own bidding.
Now walk. Walk !
- Raffae.
- Commissioner.
How are you ?
How should I stay ?
- Like a fool...
because I am a fool. - What do you say ?
If it weren't for you, those robbers
Would still be doing their bidding.
- Garzo was happy. - I didn't do
anything, I just handcuffed them.
The truth is.
I was naive.
All people
have a weakness, Raphael.
Vaccaro found your
And took advantage of it.
Only you don't have any.
How do you do ? I still don't understand.
Whatever, anyway
I've been to Bambinella.
He says he cannot give us a hand
for Father Angelo.
He told me that about priests
he doesn't know anything.
- So, I'll see you tomorrow.
Have a good night. - You too.
But what are you doing there ?
I was a jerk, Luci'.
The dumbest man
on the face of the earth.
I listened to him
rather than to you.
Sometimes pain makes us do
and say things we don't mean.
I opened the house for him,
I made him sit in Luke's place.
You tried to open my
my eyes, but nothing, a jerk !
- Whatever, that's enough. - No, Luci'...
- Come, come, get up.
I decided something today
with the kids.
The extra place at the table
on Sundays
we make it go away, no more.
We don't need this
to remind us of Luke
And to carry it in us always.
Luci', I never thought
of replacing Luke, ever.
I know.
- Luci'... - What is it ?
- You are the best mom
That our children could have
And also the wife. - Eh, yes.
The wife who doesn't even have
a decent dress
For the commissioner's wedding.
- Well ? What's the problem ?
Excuse me, please allow,
Mrs. Maione ?
I'll take it to Toledo Street
And I buy her a dress...
like a queen.
Eh, yes ! You are my queen.
You are the queen of the house.
You make my head spin !
Sit down, Bianca...
To have had you beside me
these past few months...
Was the most beautiful gift
that life could give me.
Sometimes evil...
Is not necessarily free.
Carlo, I would give anything
to make you feel better.
Everything, everything...
You can't... You can't
Because you have done so much more.
You made me see
how love...
Can transcend the common life
age, the chains
that keep us
as if in a prison.
Good morning, Don Pierino.
My children, what a joy to see you
for once together.
We hope to return often
even after we get married.
I'm not sure it's going to happen
for religious reasons
But still the ways of the Lord
are endless. -Sure. -Don Pierino.
If I don't confess it every morning,
it doesn't start my day.
I'll be right back.
What sin could he have committed ?
- Half an extra glass of wine
at lunch. - You're welcome.
With Nelide, we came up with a
Cilento menu for the wedding.
I am biased,
but it seems like a very good idea.
For my mother a little less,
but I convinced her.
I can imagine the difficulty.
[in Latin] I absolve you
From your sins... - I confess.
There must be trust between
the confessor and those who choose him or her....
- Fr. Costantino Fasano. - Fr.
Angelo and Terlizzi were close.
-In what school did your
father? -Vittorio Emanuele Institute.
- What?
- Huh? No, nothing, it's just that...
I have to go, I may have solved the
case. Also apologize to Don Pierino.
I will make it up to you. Sorry !
Here is the class register
from the year 1878.
- The list of professors
is on the first page. - Thank you.
Yes, that's them.
Angelo De Lillo and Mario Terlizzi.
- Did you say front page ?
- Yes.
Among their faculty is.
Professor Diomede Fasano.
A serious thing happened that year,
I remember well.
I was on duty in the infirmary.
Suddenly there came a professor
who had been seized
by terrible cramps.
By now he was only putting back bile,
his stomach was empty.
- What happened to him ? - After
a few hours the poor man died.
Do you remember what was the name
this professor ?
He was a young man who had just arrived.
Professor Fasano.
Are you sure you are not going to be late ?
No, the commissioner gave me
an hour's leave of absence.
- I want to take it all in my stride.
- Maione !
Maio!
Change of plans, forgive me !
- Now what has happened ?
- Normalcy is back. Get moving.
All right, I'll get it later.
Greet the commissioner
and thank him for the invitation.
What's going on ?
I saw Don Pierino confessing
a man and I understood. Let's hurry up !
Eternal rest give to him,
Lord.
Shine perpetual light upon it.
Rest in peace, amen.
Eternal rest give to him,
Lord.
Shine perpetual light upon it.
Rest in peace, amen.
[sotto voce] Eternal rest
Give to him, Lord.
Shine perpetual light upon it.
Rest in peace, amen.
- Eternal rest give to him,
Lord... - Stop !
Rest in peace, amen.
I am at peace with myself.
Shine perpetual light to it...
- What have you done !
- Amen... - Stand up !
Commissa.
The confession, Raphael.
I told you, it's the confession.
Finally...
I am at peace with myself.
Finally.
That day I saw Uncle Mario
arrive...
And seclude himself with Father Angelo.
Angelo... stop !
Angel, stop !
I am dying...
[SINGING]
They had carried that
secret for 50 years as children.
- What are you doing here? - He's dead,
we k*lled him ! - Sssh!
They had k*lled my father
With medical tartar in the water
Just before a class assignment.
If we keep our mouths shut,
no one can discover us.
We will never confess it to anyone.
Angel, only to you ...
I can ask you to hear my confession.
It was a disgrace.
- It was just a mistake.
- I am not allowed to absolve you
From the same sin
I also committed. - No...
They had helped me, protected me
since childhood.
Not for love
only out of remorse
Of making me fatherless.
So you summoned Father Angelo
On that beach.
I wanted to hear from his mouth
the truth.
- You have deceived me !
- I confess. I confess.
- It was done for good !
- For good ?
Don't absolve me, don't forgive me !
- You have no right to ask
anything ! - I confess.
Don't absolve me, don't forgive me.
Don't absolve me !
- Shut up! Shut up!
- I confess.
Then he realized
that without Father Angelo
Mario Terlizzi allegedly confessed
giving us a motive
And k*lled him as well.
- No, brigadier.
I also wanted him to serve
his purgatory on earth
until the end. I wanted
to suffer every single day !
When I went to him
I could not resist the temptation
to reveal to him that I knew everything.
And Uncle Mario...
begged me to give him peace.
As I had done with Father Angelo.
When.
When I can give justice
To these souls I see and feel
it's as if they finally
they could leave
As if they would find peace.
And with them I also find it.
Then maybe it's not a curse,
it is a gift, to help others.
He was there. He's gone now.
There is only us.
You and me.
[WEDDING MARCH]
Here it is !
- You're not going to drop me ?
- No, only at the end, I promise.
Here we go.
Here we go...
Here !
- Do you know that I have never seen you
laugh like that ? - Neither have I.
- That's a good start, isn't it ?
- Yes.
Sorry, should I put these here ?
- Yes... Come, Nelide.
- If that's all you need.
I'm going to Fortino to say goodbye to
family. Enjoy the wedding, eh ?
Nelide, wait.
I wanted to say thank you.
- Thank you for what ?
- Thank you for everything.
I thank you
for the good you do to the baron
And for the joy you have brought
with this light. - What light ?
The one you have in your eyes
and that I hope your children will have.
Look at me, Baron'. You don't happen to
you have a loaf of bread in the oven ?
[in Neapolitan] Grow up, bread, in the
oven, as Mary grew the world.
