Fedora.
Fedora! Help!
Enrica.
Forgive me for the way... but
I couldn't wait any longer.
Please come with me.
I need to understand now.
The other night you rejected
your suitor, did you?
Why?
You know why. You know why.
- Did you really come to Ischia?
- Yes.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I came too late.
You were already
on the beach and...
And I thought it
was better that way
that he was the
right choice for you.
- How could he be?
- With him it would be easy to be happy.
What is happiness to you?
Our window.
I should never
have allowed myself
Because I cannot make
you happy as you deserve.
I know that for your
work you know pain.
That's not why you
have to suffer.
You deserve to choose what that
makes you happy, that you desire.
Wait...
- Commissioner. - Eh.
- What are you doing here off shift at this hour?
- Did something happen?
- No, I couldn't stay at home.
- Is this the first time I've done a double shift?
- No.
I have never seen
you run like that.
I'm glad, because I was
going out on a call.
At least I don't have to
go there with De Blasio.
- What happened?
- A m*rder at the Splendor Theater.
- Who is on duty?
- Camarda and Cesarano, wait downstairs.
There you are, at
last! A tragedy!
- During the central performance!
- What is this confidence?
- Who are you?
- Pasquale Renzullo, owner of the theater.
Brigadier Maione,
commissioner Ricciardi.
- Calm down and say who the victim is and where he is staying.
- How "who is"?
- Fedora Marra! - Eh.
- Gelmi shot her on stage!
Get your hands right.
They are two famous actors as well
of cinematography, husband and wife.
- You don't know them?
- No. Calm down. - It is not easy.
- Try it. - It is not easy!
- Tell "by the numbers".
Sometimes I think I would like
to stay and sleep with you.
But someone would come and
break boxes for some emergency.
I always leave it
said where I am.
>Doctor, you are wanted!
Do you see that? Never
call each other things.
This is a magazine,
commissioner.
Of course there is a common
thread, but many different numbers.
The show is repeated
three times a day
But with them I always
had a full theater.
All right, let me
see if I understand.
- This... What is the name of the first actor?
- Gelmi. - Gelmi. - Eh.
He shot his wife on the
stage in front of everyone.
- In theory, it was part of the show.
- Wait.
In what sense?
In the sense that they were performing
the scripted song "Rondinella."
Gelmi played the part
of the jealous husband
Who shoots first the lover
and then to his wife.
Blanks, of course.
Today during the
central performance
the second shot
was a real b*llet.
Fedora died on stage
in front of everyone.
- And there it stayed, I want to hope.
- And who would touch it?
Love of my life.
Love of my life.
A great woman,
beautiful and good.
This was a real
actress, eh, too bad.
As always in such cases,
regardless of the victim.
Good work.
- Can you already say a few things?
- Yes.
You have ruined my
evening as usual.
The dynamic is clear, isn't it?
According to the point of arrival
of the b*llet and the trajectory
could not have shot that Gelmi.
- It remains to be understood why.
- I need to talk to this Gelmi guy.
- He's locked in his dressing room.
Behind the scenes there are
actors and technicians for you.
- We go to them. We will adjourn for the report.
- Yes.
- Please, Renzullo, lead the way.
- How not?
They were all here,
when the event happened.
Here are the two musicians
who accompanied Gelmi
during the scripted song.
Then there instead is the actor
who played the part of the lover.
Poor guy, the guy got
an incredible scare.
- He got excited.
- Yes. - Come on.
Good evening, commissioner,
Pio Romano, to serve you.
Or if you no longer need
me, could I go, please?
I feel a little embarrassed.
I just got really scared.
If Gelmi missed his aim, I would
have been... a dead man by now.
Yes. If you have reported your
generalities to the brigadier
you can go and change.
Stay available And
do not leave town.
What do they leave behind? We have
to carry carry on the show anyway.
The weekend of the Immaculate
Conception we have a full house.
It is already difficult to get on with
the tour, without Fedora and Gelmi.
Let alone whether we can
afford to refund tickets
We have already sold in Naples.
- Do you understand?
- When there is feeling... - Where is Gelmi?
He is here, commissioner.
Here I am, commissioner.
I am Michelangelo Gelmi.
I k*lled my wife.
But I didn't do it.
- No, you shot her.
- As happens at every show.
As always... I
loaded the weapon.
Blanks, though. I don't
understand how that was possible.
- Do you admit to having loaded the weapon and fired it?
- Yes.
But I would never
have k*lled her.
He was the love of my life.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Good morning, Papa! - Good morning.
- Hurry up, it's late for school.
- I don't want to go to school!
- No, you have to go there! Brush your teeth and get ready.
- Bye.
Lucia, however the money I
didn't miss it anymore, eh.
I may have been wrong.
- I was wrong to doubt Of my own children.
- Eh.
Are you going to work already?
You were so late last night.
- There was a m*rder. There are no timetables that hold.
- Eh!
- The hard life of a policeman, eh?
- What do you want to say? - Nothing.
What do I want... Are you
getting a "straw tail"?
I can't take it anymore
to defend my work with you
And to tell Giovanni that it is wrong.
- What does Giovanni have to do with it? - It has to do with it.
If he wants to be a policeman, how
do I tell him that it is wrong?
It is a work of sacrifice
that can be dangerous
But it is very important work.
Then if he insists so much, maybe
it's because he has the calling.
- It seems to me that lately I no longer have the vocation.
- Jesus!
- You gave that boy "a head like that."
- Me?
I did it because I can see that you
don't believe it when you tell them no.
- You seem to do it just for me.
- That's right, I do it just for you.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Nelide.
Did you see that
beautiful sunshine?
- See you later.
- See you later.
"The beautiful woman
makes the man happy."
We have to help him, otherwise for another
ten years he looks at her through the window.
How do I do it? The
young gentleman doesn't say a word.
It's not like I can force him.
You don't have to force him, you
just have to find the right time.
You have to see
how the wind blows.
Do you have the courage to
smile, after what you have done?
Mom.
Look, I too felt very
sorry for Manfred.
What should I tell you?
It was stronger than me.
Enrica!
Jesus, he thinks it's a game!
The major is very controlled. He
does not indulge in confidences.
All I know is that with the girl, something
something happened that shook him up.
Something that compromised
their relationship?
If the German went back to Germany,
it would be a great loss to us.
We need someone to tie him down
enticing him to stay in Naples.
You may not be asking
me to be that someone.
I will never ask
you such a thing.
I am just begging you
to use your influence
To keep the major
close to Ms. Colombo.
I'm really getting old.
My charm is no longer required
But my authority Of
a seasoned woman.
Your charm, madam...
Has never shone so brightly.
I didn't expect to see you. I
was going to get my act together.
You don't need it.
You are right, though,
I had better warn you.
I had a great urgency
to talk to you, Bianca.
You saved my life.
- I will not forget this one.
- It has the air of a farewell.
I think the time spent
together was enough
To make suspicion fall toward me
And that therefore our
play may be interrupted.
I am pleased.
Without me, it will be easy
for you to rebuild your life.
Make you the life you deserve.
Thank you.
For everything.
I love you, but it's too late.
Bruno.
Ricciardi dear, I hope that
you have come for breakfast.
- You will not think that your exam is ready.
- That has nothing to do with it.
I am the one who needs you.
I need to know if there is
an absolutely safe system...
To not have children.
- "To not have children"?
- You got it right.
There is such a thing, it
is called "abstinence."
What do I say? You
are the master.
- Please.
- Let me understand, is this about the investigation or is it about you?
If it concerns you, there are
systems, but I hope you know them.
- I fell in love.
- Ah.
I love a wonderful woman.
I can't ask her to marry me
If I don't first have the
certainty I don't have children.
Commissioner Ricciardi
has fallen in love
and a wonderful woman?
This already is a miracle! Are you
worried about the children, why?
You are young, you are
healthy, you make good money.
- What is the problem?
- I live with a great pain. Great, Bruno.
I don't think it's right
That such great sorrow would
fall on innocent children.
Listen to me. This
morning I held in my arms
yet another dead body of a
child who died of diphtheria.
Mother left it here for me Because
she has eight others at home.
Ricciardi, another eight.
- Pain is never right, when it comes to children.
- I know.
Look, you are not the only
one Living with the pain.
The important thing is to fight it.
Don't take refuge behind the work.
The one you have do you know what
it's called? "Fear of Living."
Do you know how to fight?
It's easy, just live.
- Now though, without procrastination.
- I wish it were that simple.
I will think about it.
- I thank you and apologize, if I have disturbed.
- You never disturb.
- Doctor? - Eh.
- Downstairs there's a woman asking for you.
Ma'am, do you need help?
Ma'am, how are you
feeling? Ma'am?
Lina!
Lina!
- Quick, a stretcher!
- Here I am, doctor. - Help me.
- Commissioner. - Hey.
- While I was waiting for you.
I went around to
hear the comments.
Strangely enough you
people were not coming.
- And so what, Raphael?
- And so.
Everyone is talking about about
the m*rder of Fedora Marra.
There are those who say that
Gelmi did it out of envy
Because she had become more
famous, who out of jealousy.
For me, things go hand in hand.
When they fell in love, Gelmi
was a famous silent film artist.
Gelmi made her an actress.
Then there was the
advent of sound cinema.
She has become more famous.
Throw in the age difference...
In my opinion, Gelmi was afraid
of losing her in all respects.
I understand,
Raphael, however...
How do you k*ll the
woman one loves?
Actually, sorry to say.
- We have seen it happen so many times.
- Yes, but like this?
What if Gelmi had made a
mistake loading the g*n?
The g*n I use in the scene
Is my own personal one.
I was a captain in the
Army during the w*r.
I distinguish a blank
b*llet from a real one.
Are you saying that someone
else has exchanged a b*llet?
- This is a very serious accusation.
- I know.
I can't imagine the
reason. I can't explain it.
Mine and Fedora's dressing
rooms Are always locked.
Then Erminia doesn't
let anyone ever.
- Who is Erminia?
- Erminia Pacelli, the janitor of the dressing rooms.
He is among the workers
filed yesterday.
She is a very trusted person
of mine, very precise.
Even if she had been absent
just long enough to enter into
my dressing room in my absence
He would have said
so right away.
What really were the relations
between you and your wife?
I didn't do it.
- I loved her.
- This is not always proof of innocence, quite the contrary.
For example, we need to see whether
she loved you in the same way.
I know what you want to say. I
have heard the malicious tongues.
But you are wrong.
Between Fedora and me,
there was no jealousy.
Had I wanted to k*ll her, would I have
done it like that, in front of everybody?
They might say that
you did it on purpose
to make it seem the impossible.
I don't mind ending
my days in prison.
Without Fedora, my life
no longer makes sense.
He seemed sincere to me.
It can be easy for an actor to to
take advantage of a fact of jealousy
And play the part
of a desperate man.
Then you wonder why you detest
the staging of feelings.
The real ones, the real ones, are
more powerful, for better or worse.
Commissioner, sorry, but.
- Sorry, but I really have to tell you.
- Eh.
You people seem like a
different person to me.
How do I explain it to you...
For example, this
thing about feelings.
When have you ever talked about
about how strong feelings are?
In the good, then?
Does it have anything to do with
the race you did the other night?
What race? What about
it, what are you saying?
I say, commissioner... that in my
opinion. Something has happened to you.
For the good, eh.

About the codfish.
- I like codfish, too, you know, miss?
- Nelide.
Good morning. I wanted to
thank you For your advice.
You were right, I should not have
given up. Thank you very much.
Nelide.
What a beautiful name you have.
Everyone calls me Sarracino,
but my name is Gaetano, Tanino.
Forgive, if we
interrupt your work
But I should take another
look at the stage.
Sure, no problem.
Only there is nothing left, because
we had everything cleaned up.
- You authorized us.
- Sure. If you don't mind. - Please do.
Love of my life.
He didn't do it.
You are here, he didn't do it.
Love of my life.
I will find the person
responsible, I promise.
Maione!
- Renzullo, these did you put them here?
- No.
I can't tell you. If you
want, I will inquire.
Answer frankly.
- In your opinion, did Gelmi k*ll his wife on purpose?
- No.
He would be a fool.
Except that he loved her.
The real name on the
billboard is that of Fedora.
- Without Fedora, Gelmi is finished by now.
- Listen.
I need to talk to the members of the
company. When and where do I find them?
They will arrive in the
afternoon, before the performance.
Now there are only the musicians
That they need to rehearse the
skit with Gelmi's replacement.
- If you want, I'll go and call them.
- Thank you, yes.
Commissioner. Do you want to find out
whether the evil tongues are right?
If Fedora had a lover? Because
you saw the roses, didn't you?
Yes, and I think we put
the wrong person in jail.
Commissioner, a jealous
man can do crazy things
Even if he ruins his life.
The first thing to do is to
rule out the motive of jealousy.
Sorry, I just wanted to...
- No, please.
- Thank you.
- Did you also put in the roses?
- No.
Fedora was a special woman.
Not only did I love her.
Not in that sense, eh.
Fedora and I were friends.
To your knowledge, however.
Was there instead someone here
who loved her in that way?
I don't know. But I
think there was somebody.
Fedora was a discreet woman
and she loved Gelmi very much.
Although lately he was happier.
Commissioner, the
musicians have arrived.
- If you want, they are waiting for you.
- Thank you.
Gelmi cast us one evening who
came for dinner with his sister.
It was in the tavern
where we were singing.
Did you in last night's rerun did
you notice anything different?
I don't know, did Gelmi
seem to you upset? Whatever.
No, I wouldn't say
that, commissioner.
We think about playing, but it doesn't seem
to me there was anything unusual about it.
How about you? Did
you notice anything?
What was different
was the blood.
- All that blood.
- Of course.
- All right.
- Commissioner. Ms. Erminia, the janitor of the dressing rooms.
Yes, we are well aware of
what he is about, I thank you.
If you can think of
anything, please let us know.
- You may go.
- Thank you.
Ma'am.
What is there to know? They
saw everyone what happened.
- Have you seen it as well?
- No, I haven't.
I've been sitting all
evening in front of the dressing rooms.
If I had known, I would
have prevented him.
- I wasn't going to let it spoil.
- How could you understand it?
Before the second performance
Gelmi went to the dressing room
of his wife and they had a fight.
I didn't understand, but
I could hear the voices.
Then after a while he went
back to his dressing room.
Was he angry at that point?
Did he say anything to you?
He cried.
Michelangelo Gelmi cried.
Is it possible that someone
entered Gelmi's dressing room
While he was away.
Not possible. Whoever wants
to enter, pass in front of me.
- I didn't see anyone.
- Maybe you got up, what do I know?
- To go to the bathroom...
- No.
I am in charge of not letting
anyone into the dressing rooms.
To the bathroom I go,
when everyone is gone.
Commissioner, Mrs. Erminia
Is better than a guard dog.
Would those be your friends?
- It's a g*ng of thieves, aren't you ashamed?
- What do you say?
Where did you get this? Huh?
Do you think you can make fool
the police? Look me in the face!
With those you don't make it
anymore, do you understand?
If your father knew, he would
think he had lost a son.
He defended you, when you
wanted to be a policeman.
Do you know what it
means to be a policeman?
This is serious! One is
policeman inside, Giovanni!
What thieves? This was
given to me by a friend.
You have to stop Spying
on me every time.
Commissioner, this
is a dressing room.
The kind you imagine, when
you dream of being an actor.
Why, you wanted to do theater?
A little while ago,
Before I met Lucia.
Then I chose the real feelings
rather than fake ones.
As you say, they are better.
- Did you find anything in the dressing room Gelmi's dressing room?
- No, macché.
He has been a soldier,
it's all accurate.
It looks like a monk cell,
except for the bottle of brandy.
Renzullo told me that lately he
had been "turning up the heat."
"Tonight, too, I will wear your
embroidery before I fall asleep."
"I am yours, yours and
happy. See you tomorrow."
Ah. Then the lover
is really there.
- Renzullo.
- Ah, commissioner! Are you still here?
- You will have the pleasure of seeing me again tonight.
- There will be entertainment!
Exactly. We need to talk
with the whole company.
- So we see them all together. Good work.
- Same to you.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Excuse me, but what is the plan?
- What are we looking for tonight?
- The lover, Raphael.
The note speaks for itself,
they saw each other every day.
Maybe he is one of the company.
Even if we know the name, what
changes for Gelmi's motive?
It can be seen that he found
out And they had a fight.
We still don't know
why they were arguing.
I understand that
you have doubts
But in my opinion Gelmi
jealous shot his wife.
- There is little to investigate.
- We will meet here just before the performance.
In the meantime, go through
Modo for the report.
- Even there there will be nothing interesting.
- Will you?
- What?
- Do you have any plans? I saw you looking at your watch.
You can see that the plan Was to
look at the time. See you later.
Doctor.
If you came for the report,
you will find it on my table.
There is nothing different
From what you already know.
Madonna mia, how did this poor
woman reduce herself like this?
- Did they beat her up? Who did?
- I don't know.
I didn't get around
to to ask him.
She fainted from weakness
and pain, and I sedated her.
- We need to investigate. There is a very serious crime.
- I am well aware of that.
As soon as we
understand what happened
those who have been will
have to pay dearly for it.
I tell him this not only
as a doctor, but as a man.
This girl for me Is
more than a patient.
I ask you what happened and then yes
That I will ask you to do justice.
If you want, I have free time.
If you tell me who he is and where he
lives, I can start asking questions.
Her name is Lina.
He lives in the same
place where he works.
At Mamma Clara's brothel.
Now, however. we won't be able
to see each other every night.
At least until it is official.
- I can't escape every night without explaining!
- No...
Wait, there is no hurry.
I don't want to rush you.
I know that we will find a way
To do everything the right way.
Although sometimes
when I look at you
I feel like you think
that you don't deserve it.
It is you who deserve
something I cannot give you.
Look at me. Why do you tell
me this thing all the time?
What is it that you
think you can't give me?
What I know you desire More
than anything else in the world.
Of the children?
- You can't have children?
- No, not because I can't.
I just don't want them.
- Why?
- I know what pain I would convey to them.
- I know what pain they should take on because of me.
- No.
Don't say these things,
you do honorable work.
Our children will be
proud of your work.
From bad things, from dangers, we
will protect them. I am with you.
He apologizes on
Enrica's behalf and invites me to dinner
For her granddaughter's name day.
Imma the day after tomorrow, Dec. 8.
- Doesn't that sound bizarre?
- No.
For a Neapolitan, no,
they cherish the name day.
I mean, why didn't
Enrica write to me
whether he wanted to apologize?
Maybe she is very shy and
then you also said that.
Who is fond of to her
family, to her city.
Calm her down and win her back.
You have to go there, Manfred, you know
it well, otherwise you will regret it.
Michelangelo is a
gentleman, I believe him.
Someone replaced the
b*llet to set him up.
She was certainly
full of admirers.
When she was on the
stage, only she existed.
A woman still has the right to
experience passion, doesn't she?
Maybe Fedora wouldn't
even cheat on him.
She just liked to be courted.
He was the one who
saw the ghosts.
When one drinks, it happens.
Where can I find another job this
good one? I support the family there.
I told you, commissioner, we
have known them for a short time.
Of the private facts
we know nothing.
What do we know if the lady outside
the theater was seeing someone?
Here at the Splendor? That's not
possible, we would have noticed, I think.
None of us would have risked
our careers like that.
If they found out,
he was finished.
Commissioner, we actors
are strange people.
We live by metaphors and
scenic exaggerations.
Poor Michelangelo has forgotten
the difference that there is
Between reality and imagination.
So forgive me.
The word "embroidery" according
to you applied to your world
could also mean a metaphor?
Commissioner, I say
That a poem, a song...
even a comic scene
can be embroidery.
Always if well ex*cuted.
- Thank you.
- You are welcome.
- Lucia. - Eh.
- What are you still doing awake?
Lucia, I'm sorry that today we
had a discussion about John.
- I know you speak for his sake.
- No, you are right.
Raphael, the job of the
policeman is important.
I just don't know whether
John is up to the task.
Why, aren't you studying?
- If so, tell me And I'll give him a little talk.
- No.
It's that he has trouble
understanding certain things.
- "Problems"?
- Eh.
The real problems are other.
- What is it? An investigation?
- No, it has nothing to do with the investigation.
What is it?
Today in the hospital
I saw a girl.
They beat the crap out of her. You
should have seen what they had done.
- Who did it?
- I don't know.
The madam of the brothel
where she works knows nothing.
He gave me the address of the family
members, but before I notified them
I would like to know something
more To tell them something more.
You are a good
man, Raphael, you.
- Now let's go to bed it's late, come on.
- Yes, I'm coming now.
By the way, the g*ng of kids who
were stealing what happened to them?
- Jesus, Lucia, how do they come to you?
- They were talking about it at the market today.
They stay on them, a colleague
of mine takes care of them.
They will kick them and
send them to reform school.
Eh.
Put today's date, it must
be registered by morning.
Camarda!
Did you happen to see
whether Maione has arrived?
- What is it? Do you have a stiff neck?
- Ricciardi!
Wasn't it necessary to
hurry with the Marra case?
Why don't I have an
indictment on my desk?
Good morning. It's just that
there has been some news.
- We discovered an affair extramarital affair of the actress.
- Ah.
- With whom?
- We don't know yet.
If there is a lover, the
motive is even clearer.
The culprit is one. I want
immediately an indictment for Gelmi.
Of course, it is that we are very close
to figuring out the identity of the lover.
I am very curious
to see the face
Who got the graces
by Fedora Marra.
One day.
Ricciardi one day.

information to me.
I didn't come because
of the theater thing.
Yesterday a woman presented
herself to the Pilgrims hospital.
- So you came for Lina.
- Eh.
A client of mine who is a fisherman
found her with a colleague.
They took her to the Pilgrims
because Lina asked for it.
- Did they find her very far away?
- No, I can't tell you.
Are you dumb? Do you want
to see me take you to jail?
I get dressed and come,
because I don't talk.
- Madonna mia, what patience!
- Lina is my friend, but really.
We have known each
other for a long time.
I don't understand, just because
she is your friend you have to...
She is my friend and I know she has had a dream
for 16 years that she has worked so hard for.
- He would rather die than Than lose it.
- If you don't talk...
♪ You are sleeping, you didn't wake up.
♪ These little windows
don't want to open. ♪
I like singing a lot.
You didn't think so, eh?
There are many things
that you ignore about me
And I am at your disposal for many
if you would like to take advantage.
Damn!
They gave me the address
of the girl's family.
It is at Masseria del
Campiglione, near Pozzuoli.
- The deed happened there.
- How can you tell?
An informant told me.
That two fishermen found
the girl far from here.
They're not just in Pozzuoli,
but two cases make a clue.
- As soon as it is possible, I will go there and have a chat.
- All right.
When you go to the Masseria
of the Campiglione, tell me.
I want to come, too.
- I want to see the face Who made her like this.
- All right.
- Goodbye.
- Bruno.
- Bruno.
- Lina! Lina, how are you?
Please don't do that.
- "Don't do it"? What?
- If you can...
Save me.
He leave him alone, please.
- Who? "He" who? Who is he?
- Swear to me.
Swear.
All right, I swear. You just
take it easy now, though, huh?
Stay calm and rest.
We come from a very
affluent family.
If my father had
not died so early
would not allow my brother
to become an actor.
An unseemly profession for which
you are the talk of the town
And because of which my
brother met and married
a maiden like Fedora, a
servant girl, you understand.
In fact, look at how
he has been reduced.
For you there is no doubt,
it was your brother.
- Do you have any other explanation?
- The investigation is still ongoing.
In this regard, I have a
delicate question to ask.
In your opinion,
Fedora had a lover?
So maybe you have any idea
who it might have been?
Who it might have been I
don't know, but he had it.
Fedora was a no-good.
Then they say to me: "Why
did Michelangelo drink?"
Because of that nasty
woman Who ruined his life.
Look at this, look
at this pride.
My brother has been
a soldier in soul.
My brother was a w*r hero,
a captain in the Army.
My brother fought on
the Piave River in 1918.
- My brother has been multi-decorated...
- May I? - Please do.
Look at this, look at
this. Look at that actor.
Yes, nothing more is needed.
Four ditties and
immediately they do.
- Brigadier.
- Let me pass.
- I wanted to let you know that the commissioner was looking for you.
- Hold me again.
- I'm already running late. - Brigadier.
- Speak only if it is important.
I don't know, however, you told
me to let you know the news
On the burglary g*ng
in the Spanish Quarter.
- Bravo, is there any news?
- There is. The right tip came in.
They are waiting for them.
You can arrest them yourself.
- No, give them slaps from mine. Can I go?
- Yes. - Thank you.
- Goodbye, commissioner.
- Goodbye. - Madam.
Should I be
worried? Late again?
- Then the different one is me.
- I'm doing Dr. Modo a favor.
I want to gather more information
before talking about it.
- Does Bruno have problems?
- Not him, a friend of his.
I will stop by to see him as soon
as I can to see if he needs it.
- Let's go talk to Gelmi.
- Again?
The one who came out was the sister And
it is evident that she hated Fedora.
- Ruotolo.
- So you are convinced that it is her?
- And how?
- I don't know, sympathetic is not. - No, huh?
Of course I always
carried the g*n at home.
I would never have left a
weapon in the dressing room.
- Why?
- Someone could have have entered your room
And having inserted the b*llet there.
- In my room? No.
I appreciate the attempt,
but it is not possible.
However I used to charge
it in the theater.
So even if it was, I
would have noticed.
We found out that your wife Was
having an affair with someone.
Did you know?
Not really, but I knew her well.
I could see there
was something there.
I tried to get him to
confess that night.
She became furious,
and she was right.
What's the use of knowing?
What can you tell us
instead Of an embroidery
that your wife was wearing
before going to bed?
I don't know what you
are talking about.
Lately we had not been
sleeping together.
I...
I know that all
appearances Are against me.
A husband betrayed at
the end of his career
Who decides to close
the story like this.
But this was not the case.
Maybe Fedora even had a lover,
but she would always stay with me.
She loved me and was grateful.
I am the one who
has seen his talent
Before its beauty.
I help, not k*ll.
Check this out.
Even under arms it seems to me that
you were close-knit with your men.
- Is it?
- What one experiences in w*r is not forgotten.
Many of them I also
helped them afterwards.
Erminia's husband, for example.
Which one is in the
picture? Point it out to us.
- What are you doing here?
- Are they making you a lookout?
- Are you crazy?
- Don't you dare!
"Stinker" and also rude? I
didn't raise you like that.
Listen to me. I know what
I am saying and so do you.
But I won't let
you do it anyway.
- Can we talk about this later?
- No. You're not going now.
It's not a big deal
And I disagree with it.
However, if I don't go there,
they take me for a chickenshit.
Better chickenshit than
"badly." You don't go there.
Look, do you want to put on a nice
record cheerful that I need it?
This is for you.
Charles!
What's on your mind?
You know Marquise Imma.
He will be resentful if you go
to his reception in an old dress.
- Which reception?
- The one he will give for the Immaculate Conception.
Here are two invitations.
I'm glad you feel up to
it to go to a reception.
You are not going
with me, Bianca.
You will go with
your commissioner.
Even if it was so thoughtless
as to drive you away
will not be able to refuse
one last invitation.
What would be the point?
To show them...
What is being lost.

- Have you been to Bambinella?
No, I mean yes, he doesn't know
anything though, commissioner.
- Who is it?
- Mr. Pacelli, police.
Sorry, but my wife is not here.
I'm not used to
seeing anyone anymore.
- Maybe you wanted to talk to her about the theater thing.
- No.
In fact. It is you
we wanted to talk to.
We heard from Gelmi that
you were comrades-in-arms.
For this reason he cared
about to help your family.
No one gave me more work
Since I came back from the
front in this condition.
Erminia had to do a hundred jobs
until Gelmi gave
her a good place.
When did you last see
Gelmi the last time?
In the w*r, commissioner.
In the w*r. I didn't want
him to see me like that.
I want us to remain
in our memories.
Maybe then you will
want to keep this one.
Thank you, commissioner.
I have no pictures
of my former life.
Just this drawing.
The portrait made
by my daughter.
Please be seated.
Do you see?
When I left for the front,
she was a little girl.
She has always been an artist.
He has a dream for the show.
Erminia went to Gelmi, when
she heard that he was in Naples
to ask him for a little help
to pay for her dance lessons.
Gelmi has done much more.
He hired Erminia as well.
What do you mean
"as well Erminia"?
- Does your daughter also work at that same magazine?
- Yes.
After a few dance lessons,
he took her on as a dancer.
What happens now? They
will both lose their jobs.
At least my daughter has found
a good guy, so she settles down.
No wonder Erminia Is
most loyal to Gelmi.
- He helped his whole family.
- You are right.
She remains the only one who could
have access to the dressing room
To replace the b*llet.
Why would he do that?
He had no interest in creating
problems for the show.
Maybe he hated Fedora.
Why have Gelmi sh**t it,
then in front of everyone?
It would only get
him into trouble.
I keep thinking about it, but a motive
Other than jealousy, I can't find it.
The problem is that you are
not convinced of Gelmi's guilt.
What should I tell you? I trust you,
even when I don't understand anything.
- Tell me what we have to do And I'll do it.
- Nothing.
I'm going to take a walk
now to clear my head.
Tomorrow we hear one more
time. Erminia and her daughter.
- Go home.
- See you tomorrow, commissioner.
> Lucia!
- What a shriek! I'm here, what is it?
- Madonna mia, how beautiful you are.

At the police headquarters, they

They are lucky, because they

- Hello, Lucia.
- Hello.
Renato, for next week. Do a
summary of the first chapter.
- All right? Bravo. - Enrica.
- Yes? - Tomorrow is the Immaculate Conception.
- Shall I make sponge cake for Imma?
- Yes, because we are going to have a dinner party.
All right. Renato, take care,
read the second one as well, okay?
- I also invited the major.
- Why?
Renato, go to mom, say hello.
- Why?
- Because I am your mother And I worry about your future.
After what I did anyway,
it will never come.
Instead he will come,
he has already accepted.
That makes me realize that I am right
And you should understand it too.
Enrica, the man cares
so much about you.
Is she alive or is she dead?
So? Is she alive or is she dead?
You might want to that you
tell us your name first.
If you have come here, it
means that you already know.
Scuotto Beniamino.
I am the father.
Your daughter is still alive
But it's a miracle, with
what they did to her.
She is a very strong girl.
- Yes, it is.
- You know that your daughter is reduced to that state
And don't stay close to her?
Let me understand, I ask you
as a father! I would go crazy!
Little cousin, here! Eat!
Here it is.
- Is your daughter also a wh*re?
- Take it easy, Maione.
Scuotto, your daughter has
come here? Is it true or not?
- Wasn't it you who beat you up?
- Certainly not.
She came here to bring me
money, like every month.
Help us understand who did it.
Your daughter almost died in
the middle of the road alone!
Everyone has the
life they choose.
A wh*re reckons That she
can come to a bad end.
- I'm sorry, but I don't know anything.
- No, you know.
If you don't talk, I will take
you to jail, is that clear?
Take me wherever you want,
I will never talk anyway.
Look, but who lives
here with you?
"Who lives there"?
Camillo, my nephew.
That is, Lina's son?
Yes.
- How old is he?
- He is 16 years old.
Look, brigadier...
If you don't arrest me, when you go out,
will you close the door for me, please?
But how can this be?
- Why would a son do this to his mother?
- I don't know.
Don't know, I don't
even want to know.
Now I understood what Lina
was trying to tell me.
In my opinion, he was one of
those sitting at that table.
They are gone, but
I catch them, eh.
- Doctor, in this matter I want to see us clearly.
- No.
Please, don't say
anything to Ricciardi.
He would never leave
unpunished such an act.
- I understand that.
- You also understand Lina.
Do you understand
Lina as well or not?
He asked me only this
To not investigate, to
leave the son alone.
That devious and mysterious individual
who enjoys your sympathies...
Has been able to
escape our control.
Ricciardi? What
did he ever do?
It is the reason why the
schoolteacher refused German.
They are dating secretly.
Then I was right.
I don't understand, it was you who told
me About the countess of Roccaspina.
Apparently, he
enjoys many favors.
In any case, it is an obstacle.
- What do you mean by that?
- I told you. That we need German in Naples.
If the girl rejects him
he could give up the
position and leave the city.
We will have to prevent by all means
Ricciardi from coming between the two.
- You cannot force a woman to suppress feelings.
- I know.
But... we can eliminate the
object of those feelings.
- The police profession is very dangerous.
- Hawk, don't joke.
Reason, if the girl will
accept to marry Manfred
he will take her
with him to Germany.
You would still
lose your channel.
This you cannot know.
The girl is rooted in Naples,
they may decide to stay.
Instead, without her it is very
difficult for that to happen.
The major is invited to have
dinner with her tomorrow night.
Things will fall into place.
I will do everything to try to
convince him to stay in Naples.
Leave Ricciardi alone.
Enrica.
Here you can talk
to me, can't you?
You make me worry like this.
My mother has invited
Manfred to dinner tomorrow.
She is stubborn.
He thinks I will accept the
situation For fear of being alone.
This is his fear
alone, let's be clear.
- And you can't explain this?
- No.
I should tell her that I love someone
else, but she wouldn't believe me.
He would think I'm crazy,
that I'm making it up.
Or he would think That this
man does not correspond to me.
Of course, because otherwise he
would come forward and tell everyone.
You know that is not the case.
Yes, I do, but we
don't have time.
If you don't talk to my parents
I no longer know what to
do to push Manfred away.
What should I do? I keep
thinking about Lina and her son.
I did.
You are just like
your commissioner.
You must go all the way to
the bottom of the truth.
I also know that you will
respect the will of that woman.
You are one Who
respects feelings.
This is a rare gift.
I want to learn from you.
I want to respect John's will.
He, however, must
really feel it.
Huh?
Huh?
What is it?
- He never regained consciousness again?
- No.
Go get the priest.
You who ask me the priest?
Yes, go and call the
pastor of St. Ferdinand.
Ricciardi's friend, what's
his name? Don Pierino.

What did you think to
yourself, that it was easy?
Do you know how long it has
it's been going back and forth?
You keep watching him.
Make something good for dinner,
it's the Immaculate Conception.
Good, but light,
the way he likes it.
Eh... The way he likes it
or the way you like it?
The young master What he
wants he doesn't even know.
What you want is
clear, it seems to me.
Buying vegetables From
a certain greengrocer.
This little gem here is so fast.
It does 70 kilometers per hour.
- Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Have you thought about it?
Where do we start this morning?
- From Erminia and her daughter?
- No, neither of them.
Let's start with Fedora's lover
the only one who can tell if and how much
their relationship was creating problems.
All right, just
how do we find it?
I sent for him, because
I think I know who it is.
- At least I hope so.
- Who is it? How did you do it?
- What walk did you take last evening?
- It has nothing to do with the walk.
It has something to do with Bambinella's
song. Nelide was singing it this morning, too.
He has a moment when he goes:
"It's embroidery this mandolade."
Do you remember? Do you remember
what what the old actor said?
Artists embroider and
so... so do mandolinists.
Eh, I understood right away
That you are a serious person.
Recognize quality
without chatter.
- You already do the talking.
- Right.
- Turnip greens do you have any?
- How not? They are special.
Miss Nelide, ask and it
will be given to you.
I am ready to
fulfill your wishes.
Give me two pomegranates,
I have to make pork roast.
I will now get them for you.
- Ciro, do you have pomegranates?
- No. - No.
- Um.
- Sarracino.
- "Talking is an easy art."
- Wait.
Why did you have me brought
here? What is this staging?
The situation is serious and caution
with these people is never too much.
Do you need help? I don't
care about what happened.
- I am always there for you.
- I am not the one who needs help.
- You are the one in danger.
- That danger is gone.
You don't have to feel guilty. A
friend helped me make up for it.
I don't talk about that issue.
I didn't make you come for that.
- The problem is the schoolteacher.
- This does not concern you.
This time I'm not involved.
Ricciardi, believe me.
I accept the fact that you
don't reciprocate my feelings
But you can't stop me from
loving you. I have to warn you.
You have to let go of Miss.
Columbus or they will take you out.
We have no idea what they
are capable of doing.
People disappear from night
to morning, even in Naples.
I am not a political target.
- What does it have to do with Enrica?
- She's just another pawn, like you and me.
Why are you talking
about pawns? I...
If you want to talk
to me, be explicit.
Convince her to accept the court of
the German or you risk your life.
German? Why?
Livia, who is he?
- Who is he? Is he dangerous?
- He is not the one who is dangerous.
He is just another pawn.
Livia!
Ricciardi, I beg you.
In spite of everything, I
cannot think of losing you.
You don't have to
worry about me.
As for the rest, thank you.
Take care of yourself.
Rewind it back home, thank you.
Which one of you is Camillo?
I am. Who are you?
In my opinion, he
needs a driving lesson.
Now you tell me what happened To
your mother without telling lies!
I made a promise that
I would not hurt you
But I don't know if
I keep it, clear?
- It happened that...
- Talk! Do you understand that you have to speak or not?
It happened that a fellow was
working in the city some time ago.
- Speak!
- They took him to a brothel and saw my mother.
Do you realize? My
mother is a wh*re!
I was too ashamed.
Everyone knew and wanted to punish
her for disgracing the Campiglione.
What was I to do?
Do you know what I think?
Living with the thought of what you
have done to those who love you most
Is the right punishment
For someone like you.
You disgust me.
This is a reminder.
Bruno.
Ricciardi.
This time I need you.
- Is that her? Is that Lina?
- Yes.
What were you waiting
for to call me?
Doctor. Doctor,
he has arrived.
- Don Pierino.
- Commissioner.
Sorry for the delay, but
I hope I am still on time.
- For what?
- They told me to come for a last rites.
No, you have been misinformed.
It is not for a last rites,
but to celebrate a marriage.
There are also the witnesses, Sister
Luisa and Commissioner Ricciardi.
Well, better that way then.
Where are the bride and groom?
What happened to her?
The man who was supposed to stand by her
and protect her never made up his mind.
That man is me.
Now, although it is late,
I want to marry her.
The girl is not capable
of of sound mind, doctor.
Listen to me, Don Pierino.
Listen to me well.
I am a coward.
If I had not been a coward,
it wouldn't have happened.
I love her.
I didn't know that life
and love can come...
And walk away in an instant.
Commissioner, the following has
arrived. Aurelio Pittella, the "beater."
What do I say? Shall I call him?
Commissioner, has
something happened?
Those who reduced the the
girl in the hospital...
did you see their faces?
- Sorry, if I didn't say anything.
- No.
Bruno explained to me why you didn't
involved me. You did the right thing.
I would not have
respected Lina's wishes.
Not even out of love for him.
I am no match Of such
a feeling as love.
This is the truth.
The story of the fear of
living... Maybe that's true, too.
- Sorry, Raphael, call Pittella.
- Now.
Pittella!
Pittella, come on, go sit down.
I will not waste your time because
I don't want to waste any either.
We know about your
relationship with Fedora Marra.
- How do you know?
- We found A note from him for you.
I do not explain one thing.
A woman like the one
who found us in you?
I've wondered about that myself.
Fedora said I had woken
her up with the mandolin.
That my music was an
embroidery, as in song.
When did your story begin?
- Where were you seeing each other?
- About a month ago.
She did it all, I would
hardly think about it.
At the end of the rehearsal,
he asked me to stay.
He said he was thinking of a number
to sing with my accompaniment.
Her husband wanted
to please her.
So every once in a while,
at the end of the day...
we were left alone.
I knew it was wrong, but...
Fedora was irresistible.
- Who was aware of the question?
- No one, commissioner.
I was risking not only
my job, but my career.
Fedora cared not to
ridicule her husband.
When I think that
he k*lled her...
- Do you say he had found out?
- We are trying to figure it out.
Do you think it is possible
that no one suspected anything?
Perhaps Erminia could imagine, seeing
that I was staying with Fedora.
She is the last to leave.
He never mentioned it to me.
But he could have talked
about it with Gelmi, no?
At risk of being fired from
Fedora? I don't think so.
You are in a relationship with a
girl from the company, is that right?
What does this have to do with?
"Guaglione, if the commissioner
asked the question, it fits.
Answer.
Yes, it is true.
I suck, I know, but I
don't want to lose it.
- Don't force me to say who it is, please.
- You don't have to. I already know.
You need to explain to me
how you came to understand.
It was obvious to
think of Gelmi.
It's mind boggling to
think about one's woman
In the arms of another man.
- That is true, yes, that is true.
I kept thinking that if I
had been in Gelmi's place
I could never have
k*lled the woman I love.
I would have tried to
eliminate the lover.
I looked at the issue
from another point of view
that of a culprit or a
culprit as in this case
That he wanted to eliminate Fedora
because she was Pittella's mistress.
Excuse me, how did she
get into the dressing room
And to replace the b*ll*ts?
He took advantage of when Gelmi
was in Fedora's dressing room.
Then are you telling me that the
janitor of the dressing rooms lied?
- It is not true that she did not get up.
- No, I'm not saying she lied.
- I really say he is complicit.
- "Accomplice"? - Mmm.
Didn't we always say that
it would never harm Gelmi?
Yes, that's right, we said that.
Investigating, we discovered
that in this whole situation
For her, there is someone even
more important than Gelmi.
Raphael, the girl is
Erminia's daughter.
The dancer with red hair.
Red like their father's.
From him she learned
how to use a g*n.
In the company she found
a good guy to marry her.
- Do you remember these words?
- "Good boy."
- Pittella? - Eh.
- Did you understand the "battilocchio"?
Tonight we try to have
a word with this girl.
We try to get her to confess
so we check whether
I've got it right.
- Bianca.
- I'm just going to steal you for a moment. I don't go around it.
I came to ask you one
last date for tonight.
Accompany me to the reception
for the name day of
Marquise Imma Castaldi.
- It would be impossible for me to decline.
- We have already talked about this.
We have already talked
about this, Bianca.
I have to go to Splendor
to interview a suspect.
- I couldn't change.
- I'll pick you up with the car.
So you go through
the house and change.
No one is punctual at
a social gathering.
Pomegranates, for your roast.
- How much do I owe you?
- Nothing.
Today I missed toward you
And I had to catch up.
As I said, I can get you
everything you desire.
I won't accept unless
you name a price.
I'll tell you what, I ask you
to always come to my counter.
All right? I gain.
A demanding customer
like you attracts others.
You succeed very well on
your own to attract clients.
These are for you,
a gesture of peace.
And to tell you that I would like to get
to know you better, talk a little bit.
There is nothing
wrong with that.
All right, Gaetano.
If you stop teasing me.
I will be your customer and you
will be my trusted vegetable grower.
This we can talk about, for
the rest I just have to work.
All right, I'm in.
First the work-and then you see.
Did something happen?
Your mother and I have
talked for a long time.
Luke will be proud
that you will wear it.
Tonight I am going on a
mission With the commissioner.
In the future you
and I will do that.
Looking forward to it.
No.
Better there.
Here it is.
Are you sure that the mandolin
player couldn't have warned her?
No, he is locked at home under
Camarda's close supervision.
All right, then we'll
just have to wait.
In the meantime, I take the
opportunity to use the bathroom.
I wouldn't want to end up like
of the actor on the stage. Sorry.
- Be quick.
- Coming.
- Shoulder!
- Osvaldo, see what's going on.
- Never mind, I'd better continue on foot.
- It doesn't feel right.
- We wait and change our ways.
- It's around the corner.
It takes five minutes.
I'll go and come back with Ricciardi,
before he can change his mind.
White.
No!
No! No! No!
No! Luigi, no!
- Luigi, look at me.
- Stop!
- Help!
- Let go!
- Stop! Commissioner!
- Look at me!
- Commissioner!
- Help!
It came early, it's really
German. Go and open it.
How did it happen? Where?
- Forgive me.
- Enrica!
Well? Where do you
run, pray tell?
- We need to see Ricciardi.
- He is with Dr. Modo.
He will be the one to tell us if and
when it will be possible to see him.
Don't worry, it couldn't
be in better hands.
You just have to pray That
the commissioner doesn't die!
Did you really think you were
going to get away with it?
Of course.
Gelmi would k*ll that
b*tch in front of everyone.
Everyone knew that he had
good reasons for doing so.
The commissioner immediately
began asking questions.
Finally, after a long
time, I was happy.
Dancing.
I was in love and reciprocated.
The wh*re set her
her eyes on him.
Aurelio is special.
You hear it playing
and you are enchanted.
That's not why he
wanted to take it.
It's because he
was the youngest.
She was obsessed with age.
It served her only to
forget the passing of time.
- Livia.
- Manfred.
What are you doing
here? Your dinner?
I was wrong to accept
the invitation.
Enrica is not shy.
- He doesn't want me and never will.
- No.
Manfred, you now sit here.
You have drunk too much,
I'll get you some water.
Tomorrow I will ask to let
me return to my homeland.
My love, please wake up.
Wake up.
You can't leave me alone.
You can't!
Ricciardi, it's me. It's Bruno.
Easy, Ricciardi.
It was a bad wound, you
lost a lot of blood.
You will see that you will
recover without any consequences.
- At least you.
- Lina?
- Sorry.
- It's the curse I'll carry with me as long as I live.
- I have to learn to live with it.
- You have to live with the pain.
However... without
stopping living.
That's enough!
We want to see the
commissioner! You can't go in.
Don't get me in trouble.
We are concerned.
- Oh, finally.
- Enrica!
- Young man, how are you?
- Commissioner.
Good evening, commissioner.
Glad to see you safe and sound.
Good evening, knight.
Rider, I am well aware that these are
not the appropriate circumstances these.
I tell you from
the heart, though.
I ask your permission...
Of dating your daughter.
