(Commissario Guido Brunetti)
(Paola Brunetti)
(Vice-Questore Patta) (Sergente Vianello)
(Man:) I should drink less. Shitty shoes!
(Woman:) You say that every time. (Signorina Elettra)
I wonder what those two are up to? Yes...who knows?
They're probably sleeping.
* A door slams *
*Someone comes through the door.*
I thought you weren't coming.
"Gasping.*
Someone should call the police.
Or not. He doesn't care.
Leave no trace, yeah? Hm!
(Chiara:) It's so beautiful here! Well, do you see?
But you had to complain first! Well let's just wait and see.
(Chiara:) Oh! That's crazy fast!
Raffi, look! This afternoon?
Absolutely!
I'm not visiting you in the hospital.
Look at the mountains! The weather is perfect.
Welcome to vacation! Look around!
Promised too much? Two weeks! Yes.
(Raffi:) That's going to be great. *A phone rings*
(Paola:) Thank you! Was the trip good?
Yes, thank you! Can you give me my suitcase?
This is Mom's suitcase.
Raffi! Look! Yes.
Yes, me too!
Yes, off... Wait a minute! Why?
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
Don't tell me you have to go back!
Are you almost done?
Close the door! No spectators!
What's the man's name?
*Inaudible.*
(Both:) Mom! "Blessed are you -"
"- among women."
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and -"
"- at the hour of our death."
Where? This way!
Commissario!
I thought you were on vacation.
Yes. I thought so too. It is ...
Someone was murdered. Really?
We're doing the report. Does it say who it is?
Araldo Fontana. Have they brought you back too?
Yes, unfortunately. Nadia and the children?
They're sitting on the beach in Croatia. What happened?
Fontana was killed. With a blunt object,
which we're still looking for.
He lived there with his mother. How old was he?
44. Did any neighbors see anything?
At 10:30 p.m. he wasn't lying here yet.
The postman found him this morning.
Where is he? The postman?
Oh, the dead man! At Aurino's.
Let's talk to the mother! We have. That's what it says...
... in the report.
Our condolences. I've told you everything, -
- what there is to say. Tell us again?
Can you imagine -
- who killed him? Araldo was a good boy.
He was hardworking, honest.
He looked after me.
Who would want to harm a boy like that? Who?
Do you know where he was last night before he came home?
Who did he meet?
Did he tell you? Why would he?
He had his life, his friends. I didn't interfere.
But I made him coffee every morning before he left the house.
But this morning he wasn't here. Signora! These friends.
Can you tell us where... I didn't interfere.
His room.
Like a hotel.
Who lives like that?
Why does he live with his mother? Why does she say, -
- she doesn't know who his friends are?
Why is it so damn hot? Good questions!
Sergeant Vianello. I'm dying of thirst.
Man! Truly unbearable, this damn heat!
Yes, you're right. You can't...
Good afternoon, Commissario! Hmm!
*A phone rings.* Yes? What can I do for you?
Commissario, May I? Yes, absolutely!
*Nothing happens.* What did the man look like?
*He presses again.* This can't be true!
All air conditioning in government offices are off.
It's almost 40 degrees outside. Yes. If all the air conditioners are running -
- they're afraid the power grid will collapse.
Everyone's on vacation. Except us.
Someone has to be there.
Aren't you hot? My family is from Sicily.
We're used to the heat.
I thought you had your air conditioner...
I don't have any here. Right!
But... he.
The Vice-Questore is on vacation. Brunetti! You shouldn't...
*A man sings an Italian aria.*
You have it so nice here. I'm never leaving.
*The air conditioning hums.*
*She turns off the radio.* When is Patta coming?
In 2 weeks. "In 2 weeks"? ... Well! Then...
All right!
Fine by me! Let's get started!
I should hope so.
We have a new case? Vice-Questore!
You're back again?
Of course, if my best men have to work, -
- so do I! Of course. I've prepared something.
Patta came back from vacation voluntarily?
Never! There's something else behind it. it.
Vianello! Alvise's report. He has air conditioning -
- and we have this... What does it say?
Fontana was a bailiff, over at the court. No previous convictions.
According to the neighbors, he was -
- nice and friendly. No one knew him well.
Oh! ... Thank you!
What do you want here?
Hello! Is Araldo here? Get out of here!
Don't ever show your face here again! Where is he?
He's dead. Do you understand?
He was murdered. This is your fault. Get out of here!
*Sobbing*
*The phone rings.*
Fry onions, add tomatoes and olives, and pack the Parmesan back up!
I miss you too. "More in a minute!"
I'm sitting here in 17 degree weather.
What's the weather like where you are? "Be careful!"
I know divorce lawyers. Are we staying here forever?
You can even see the snow.
I tell Patta: "The dead man killed himself."
"Then I'll come." Would you like to talk about it?
No. There's nothing new. "Then eat something!"
Sleep well! Tomorrow the world will look different.
Not different, just hotter. All right!
How was your day?
Falcone will resign.
That means... they're looking for a new chairman.
Have they asked you yet? No.
But they will. I'm sure of it.
Will Dad now be a bank director?
Perhaps, my angel.
I'll become a police officer and arrest
robbers and those who hurt Signore Fontana.
Not hurt! They killed him.
So! Now let's eat. OK?
Night, Dad! Good night!
Dad! Is Signore Fontana in heaven now?
Yes ... He is.
*Inaudible*
"One of the best bailiffs."
Polite, friendly, dutiful.
In 25 years, he hasn't been sick a single day.
Imagine that! And then something like this!
If you ask me,... Excuse me!
Hello!... That's what lawyers are like.
They only know us when we bring them their files.
Did Fontana have friends here? Not that I know of.
So! This is his office.
Apartment listings.
Looks like he's been looking for an apartment.
Broken. What?
Who comes in here?
The door is never locked.
Are you looking for this?
You shouldn't leave something like that lying around.
What do you want? Nothing.
Just to help.
Why?
I am a deeply good person,
who always helps people in need. Especially if they become a bank director.
And then what?
Think of what this will do! It can land you in jail.
And everyone else, if you do it right.
This is especially true of the heartwarming letters here.
They're not mine.
Hmm! ... That's why.
How much does a court clerk earn?
About 3,000. How much does the apartment cost?
About 3,000. But he has to get the money from somewhere.
I'll take care of it. Thank you very much!
Good morning!
Yes. ... He's here now.
Fulgoni! We thought we'd better talk to you.
Before word gets around. Falcone is leaving us.
This fall. Someone has to take his place.
We were thinking of you.
If you want. Yes, I do!
But... The supervisory board has to approve this.
There are certainly no problems with that.
We hope you don't have any skeletons in your closet!
Then we agree. See you soon!
Yes. See you then!
Signora Coltellini?
Can I help you?
Fontana has my files somewhere.
Don't touch anything! Forensics is coming.
He's dead. They killed him.
Haven't you heard anything about it? Yes, of course.
Have a nice day, Judge!
(Reads:) "Coltellini"!
"Coltellini", ... "Coltellini"!
"Coltellini"!
*Opera Music*
Everything all right, Vice-Questore?
Everything is wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!
How is Brunetti? Is he making progress?
I think so. Yes.
Good. ... Very good! Shouldn't I have appointments?
Not in the next two weeks.
Everyone is on vacation. How was it in Norway?
Wonderful! Unfortunately, you're already back.
I mean, unfortunately for you and your wife.
Yes. Well, then... I'll continue.
Hello! It's me.
I wanted to ask, how you are.
Good! ... Aha! ... Good!
Yes, me too. Me too.
And... how's your vacation?
Good! You must miss me.
Or?
Oh no. ... You don't.
Then... you're not coming home early because you... No?
No! Of course, neither am I. Why should I?
Norway is wonderful!
Where exactly? ... Uh...
In, uh...
S... S... Sund. In Alesund. ... Exactly!
And in the Geirangerfjord, magnificent nature experiences await me.
Are you sorry you didn't come along...
No? ... It doesn't hurt you.
All right! Then... see you soon!
Oh! ... Here! Thank you!
Here you go!
What? Only 450 euros rent?
For the apartment?
Then why is he looking for a new one? Did he want to get away from his mother?
Who is the landlord? Marco Puntera.
He also lives in the Palazzo.
He owns over 20 properties in Venice. Most of them are factories, -
- which he rents out. Not entirely legal.
Who says so? ... Vianello!
Can I help in any way? No, it's fine.
That's what some people say. Why does Puntera want so little rent?
Do people know that too? You'll have to ask him.
Yes. We will.
Oh!
I'm glad to see police officers at work!
It gives you a feeling of security.
I don't know what happened to Mr. Fontana.
Even though I would like to help.
You can.
Do your tenants often pay only a quarter of the usual rent?
Would you like some?
Uh, ... no thanks! From Hawaii.
100,000 year old drinking water.
That's lying there at the bottom of the ocean. Unbelievable, right?
*He sighs.*
Good! ... Fontana.
You see? I'm a businessman.
Look around! All of this can't be achieved by doing nothing.
But you can't always just take and take.
At some point you have to give something back.
Amen! This is my house.
I decide who pays how much rent. Is that forbidden?
Look, Commissario!
I'm something like the good spirit of the house.
My tenants and I are like a happy family.
Fontana is certainly happy. He wanted to move out.
Did you know? Here! Apartment listings.
You can't force anyone to be happy, right?
Thank you for your time!
How did he find you back then?
How did he know that you were renting the apartment?
That was a long time ago. I don't remember.
Where were you the night he was murdered?
Angela!
Good day!
Angela! Where was I on the night from Sunday to Monday?
Here!
And what did I do?
We were checking the invoices.
Until 2 a.m.? The whole time? Was I never gone?
To kill my tenant? Oh! ... No!
And you can testify to that? Of course!
Thanks!
What a load of crap! Someone should shove all that happy-family -
- nonsense down that 'Mother Teresa's' throat.
And make her wash it down with holy water.
Commissario! I should get out of the sun.
I know where it's cooler.
I knew there was a catch.
Ciao!
Ciao, Guido! Ciao!
So! 3 blows to the back of the head.
With a blunt object. That was thorough.
Yes. Each one was fatal. No other injuries.
He was surprised from behind. And the time of death?
Between midnight and 1 a.m. Then we have...
...found red velvet fibers. On the back of the pants and shirt.
From a blanket... or maybe a couch.
He had sexual intercourse shortly before his death.
We found sperm in his intestines.
Signora!
Signora Coltellini!
One moment please!
Mr. Penzo!
Madam Judge!
I ...
I know about your... business.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Araldo Fontana knew it too. Right?
He knew that you would let yourself be bribed.
Is that why you wanted him killed? It's all in here.
I have nothing to do with his death.
Are you planning to tell someone otherwise?
No lawyer accuses a judge, -
- if he ever wants to win another case.
Maybe I should tell my friends in the Questura, -
- who really has a motive for the death of poor Araldo.
Unrequited love can be cruel. Isn't that right, Mr. Lawyer?
Is that why you killed him?
My son was a decent boy.
He wasn't...
They are supposed to find his murderer.
Don't spread lies about him. We can only do that, -
- if you tell the truth.
You want the truth? Araldo was everything, -
- that I had left. That's the truth.
Did you know that your son was looking for a new apartment?
Why should he? We're doing well here.
He would have said it. He told me everything.
Get out of here!
Attacked from behind. With a blunt object.
Blunt object.
Was the forensics team here? No.
A red sofa. Aurino found red fibers.
They could be from a sofa.
Can I help you?
Commissario Brunetti, Sergente Vianello.
We are investigating the death of Signore Fontana.
Did you know him, Signore... Fulgoni.
We were neighbors. We said hello.
Yes. Did you see him accompanied ... by a man?
"A man"? Yes.
You mean he was gay? Yes.
Fontana? No! No?
He wasn't what you'd imagine gay people to be.
How do you imagine gays?
Dad! Dad!
Hello! You're home already?
Hello ... These gentlemen are looking for Fontana's murderer.
Here? Do you also have a gun?
My son wants to be a police officer. Or a pirate, with a sword.
Leave the gentlemen alone! Come! ... We're going.
Signora!
Did you notice anything the night before last?
Something unusual. I told your colleagues.
We came home from the opera at 10:30 p.m. I was in bed by 11 p.m.
The bell of the Madonna dell'Orto rang.
Ah! Then we fell asleep.
Thank you.
The poor people are outside in the heat all day.
How are you doing?
Best vacation in a long time.
Home is the best place.
That's why all these people come here. Another reason to stay away.
Brunetti!
See the positive in it! And that would be?
Our women are gone. No one tells us what to do.
And when we should be home.
Let’s enjoy freedom!
What are you doing tonight? Going to bars with Vianello.
Wonderful! I can... We are looking for Fontana's lover.
Ah! ... These b... bars.
Yes. ... Next time maybe.
Why doesn't he go home? Otherwise he'll be the first to go.
It looks like he's hiding.
We should find out why. Absolutely!
*Loud disco music, the conversations are inaudible.*
Excuse me! Do you recognize this man?
No. Do you know him? Never seen him.
No, sorry! Thanks.
*Inaudible.*
Do you know him?
*Loud disco music*
*Inaudible.*
Do you recognize this man? Ever seen him?
Do you happen to know him?
Okay! ...Okay!
*Disco music*
What now?
We can try in Mestre.
Maybe we don't have to.
That's the lawyer from the court.
Good evening!
Do we know each other? Not yet.
Then it'd better stay that way. What does that mean?
Commissario Brunetti, Sergente Vianello.
It's about Araldo Fontana. Now we know each other.
We have questions. We can also -
- have you summoned tomorrow. Yes. Not here!
Um... Araldo and I, we were together... at school.
And we've been friends ever since. ...We were friends.
Just friends! Nothing more. Was he in a relationship?
He didn't want anyone to know that he was gay.
Especially not his mother.
He kept everything secret.
Now everyone will find out.
They'll think he picked up a prostitute.
Who ripped him off and killed him.
That's what you think. He was gay.
So a gay man murdered him. Then who was it?
Even if I told you, it wouldn’t help.
Why? You can’t touch her.
"Her"? She's pulling the strings.
She's powerful. She just used him.
Who is she? You'd better stay out of it.
It's no use! Just close the case.
After his death, his desk was broken into.
What was inside?
You just let him go like that?
Ah!
Where is it? What do you want?
Where is it?
What do you mean? Where?
What do you want? Don't stick your nose in everything!
Got it?
*Screams.*
Don't you want to come to bed?
What's going on? Nothing.
They’re going to nominate me as chairman.
That's fantastic!
The board still needs to approve.
They will. I'm sure of it.
I told you that everything would be fine.
*The phone rings.*
Hello! So? Where were you last night?
Good morning! I miss you too.
"Good morning"? It's just before 11 a.m.
"So! Where were you last night?"
Well. I went to all the gay bars in Venice with Vianello.
"Do you believe me?"
Hello? I hope he's not lying next to you.
I hope so too. So, Guido! When are you coming?
Yes. I'm working on it.
By being in bed at 11 a.m.? "Yes, boss!"
Signorina?
Yes, Vice-Questore? I've been thinking:
We always wanted to reorganize the duty rosters.
Now would be the opportunity. ... I have time.
You too. Nobody bothers us.
We would have the whole day and the evening.
A wonderful idea!
You could buy us something to eat.
With a nice glass of white wine.
I would go myself. But it's so hot outside.
Naturally!
Commissario!
What happened? They asked what was in Araldo's desk.
Yes. Here! It's safer with you.
Besides, someone has to do something.
I can't. Who was it?
Read and you'll know! One more question!
Yes. I have no alibi.
I was at home when he died. ... Alone.
A list of court cases as a motive for murder?
Have you seen how many were postponed or canceled?
Our judges are not the fastest.
It was always the same judge. Then she's even slower.
This is not a crime.
It is if you are getting paid for it.
Due to the delays, there were some financial ... opportunities.
And our judge took advantage of them?
"Signora Coltellini". Fontana got it out.
She struck first. Case closed!
Vianello!
No! Interrogating a judge just because you think she might be corrupt?
You might as well interrogate the city council and the entire government.
Brunetti, do you have any actual evidence?
What it says here. What does it say here?
That someone gave her money for it?
No! If we use this to hang her, -
- we'll end up swinging for it ourselves.
Brunetti ... The man is dead.
Because he...
My God! He had sperm in his ass!
I doubt that killed him.
It can't have come from the judge either.
Find evidence! Until then, leave the good woman alone. Okay?
"For now, leave the good woman alone!"
The good woman represents everything that stinks in this country.
How much does a judge cost here? Less than a minister.
More than a cop. Not funny!
The fibers from the sofa in the shed correspond to those at Fontana.
They also found traces of semen and hair on the sofa.
Probably pubic hair.
Whether they came from the victim, they cannot say.
The lab staff is all on vacation. I'm going home now too.
Cook something and talk all evening.
With myself. I know something better.
Commissario!
What is he doing here?
He lives on the Giudecca.
To a hotel!
Do you think he's having an affair? Vianello!
Maybe that's why he came back from vacation earlier.
So! Fontana has gathered evidence against a corrupt judge.
His murder was not planned.
Penzo says they were just friends.
I doubt that was enough for him.
He allegedly doesn't know who Fontana met with.
But it's possible that he's lying.
Or that it was even him. Hmm!
Still on a diet?
Nadia says I still have to lose a little.
Nadia finds out nothing. Nadia finds out everything.
Why did he pay so little rent? Perhaps the landlord -
- had his eye on him. Puntera?
"I decide who pays how much rent."
Or: "How he pays"?
Something happened. Fontana wanted to move out.
It doesn't fit together. Maybe it doesn't have to.
There are no connections.
Perhaps Fontana took a stranger with him.
And it got out of control.
Because gay sex is always like that? Commissario!
If a woman had had sex before her death:
Who would we look for then? Her partner!
What about the judge?
Perhaps a piece of another puzzle.
One that we don't have to solve. Here's to our vacation!
To our vacation!
The air is so wonderful.
Chiara and Raffi are thrilled. "Good for you!"
"Can't you go any further?" We're going around in circles.
"You could do that here too."
The view is nicer here. See you tomorrow!
"Do you have visitors?" Yes, Vianello.
At our house? "He was here for dinner."
"You go to bars and cook together."
"What's going to happen?" We're not rushing into anything.
I always feared:
You're cheating on me with someone from the Questura. But Vianello?
Hmm! "I'm not standing in your way."
"But let me know before he moves in with us! OK?"
"Famosars". Guido? Are you even listening to me?
Yes, yes. Of course! Always! Tell me:
Can I use your computer? Excuse me? You?
"But don't break it again this time!"
Thank you! ... Sleep well!
Say hello to the children! Bye!
"Part of another puzzle."
Sergeante! You were mistaken.
Here we are.
Normally, we'd find something like this in no time, but the system is broken.
And anyone who knows about this... ... is on vacation.
"Peak season"! Which makes it hard -
- to access any court documents.
Yes. But these...
Well! ... They ...
I think you'll find them somewhere, um...
Yes. ... There!
Well! If you need anything:
Call me!
Coltellini has negotiated 3 trials, -
- in which Puntera's company was accused.
She postponed two, cancelled one.
I want to know:
Why? Our good lady judge -
- held out her hand to Puntera. Fontana knew about it.
That explains why he paid so little rent.
*Groans.* Signorina!
You were right. It's wonderfully quiet here.
But we have to... ...find this?
Yes. Where from? How...
The trials against Puntera were repeatedly postponed.
Until the plaintiffs ran out of money.
Or until they accepted a lousy settlement.
That’s how Puntera avoided paying nearly a million euros in fines.
With Coltellini's help!
But?
The reason why she postponed the trials was:
Important documents were always missing.
For which Fontana was responsible.
He lived in Puntera's Palazzo.
For almost nothing. Do you think that's a coincidence?
Araldo would never have joined forces with them.
Didn't he wonder about the rent? Maybe he was just happy.
He liked the apartment. His mother was proud. He wasn't for sale.
No? Then he wouldn't be dead.
Perhaps there was another reason for this.
They still think it was me. It must be the gay friend.
I thought we were on the same side. I was wrong.
He has a motive and no alibi.
Should we spare him, just because he's gay?
We cannot rule out that Penzo had sex with him, -
- as long as the gentlemen from the lab are lying on the beach in Rimini.
Everyone is on vacation. Only we are stuck here.
In this damn heat! Still better, -
- than Aurino in the fridge! Sure.
Do something! He sits at his desk all day.
And doesn't move. Is he frozen solid?
He wants to improve the roster. No! I'm supposed to improve it.
Brunetti! You have to do something. Me?
Yes. They should actually all be on vacation.
I would have two weeks of peace once a year. And now?
I can bear the fact that you're both here. But he's always sitting there.
He changes the duty rosters out of boredom. No!
Take it home!
No matter! Do something to get him out of here!
You care about him... don't you?
So! We have an unscrupulous businessman.
And a corrupt judge. She was -
- a threat to Fontana.
A jealous lover, maybe.
One who could not bear Fontana's rejection.
And who may have slept with him.
Everything okay, Vice-Questore? Yes, yes.
My wife thinks I'm on vacation.
Don't you have anything stronger?
Uh... yeah.
For years we've been going to the same beach.
So my wife can read. Honestly!
She can do that here too. We live by the sea.
So I thought: "Why not try something new?."
I always wanted to go to Norway.
The fjords... fjords! The waterfalls!
You can hike there for hours.
So I rebooked. And your wife?
It's possible that I forgot to tell her.
"Forgot"?
Now she's reading on the beach in Elba.
Of course I'm not always right. Am I right?
And Norway? Yes!
Did you know that at this time of year -
- it can rain for almost 2 weeks in a row
We've been going on holiday together for 30 years.
So being alone like this... isn’t easy.
I called her. And she says:
Her vacation without me is absolutely wonderful.
I couldn't say that I was back.
Meaning? Meaning:
I'm in Hammerfest today.
And there I will -
- become a member of the Royal Polar Bear Club.
I've checked into a hotel here.
So the neighbors don't notice that I'm here.
Isn't that... She says:
"I'm having the best vacation in a long time."
Signore Puntera?
- I don't know if you know me. - What do you want?
They joined forces with Coltellini.
- Get out of here! - Or...What?
Are you going to kill me too? Why did you kill him?
I didn't kill your sweet friend.
You poofs just cause trouble.
If I had known that, I would never have rented to you.
- "You"? Who else? - Don't ever show your face here again!
Otherwise, you'll see your friend again soon.
Dad! We're coming!
You shouldn't be here. It won't bring Araldo back.
Araldo?
Araldo never wanted to talk to me about his relationship.
I always thought he wanted to protect himself.
In front of his mother. But it wasn't about him at all.
He wanted to protect someone else.
Someone whose wife and children weren't allowed to know about it.
And the police also know:
Araldo was with a man before his death.
And the police believe he murdered him. I believe that too.
Hi Papa!
Hello, honey. What happened?
Nothing! ... He is a friend of Fontana.
Oops! Dad! Do you want to try it?
I'm sorry about your friend! Come on! ... Mmm! Delicious!
Hmm! Delicious! Are you eating the ice cream now?
[Piano and recorder playing]
"Nice that you're here!"
"What should I say to him?"
"That you don't feel the same about him."
"And you?"
"How do you feel about me?"
(Araldo:) "We could start a new life together."
"And be free." "I can't. ... because of you."
"It's your life!" "Do you have children? A wife?"
"Would you lose your job?"
"I found an apartment for us."
"Tell them! Or I'll do it." "You won't do that."
"We will be free."
"Free!"
"You won't do that."
Who will give up?
Guilty conscience?... It will pass.
The lawyer knows.
He knows about... Your little secret?
Someone has to make sure that he doesn't say anything.
Not true?
But I don't want another dead gay here.
[She keeps playing the same note]
[A door slams.]
- Did something happen? - Nothing. I bumped myself.
- I'm going to the office. - Now?
Hmm!
But not for too long! Is everything really okay?
Yes, of course!
Mhm...
[Footsteps]
All done? Yes.
- I love you. - I love you, too.
[Praying in Latin]
[Praying in Latin.]
[Inaudible.]
Something is missing here.
The bells aren't ringing.
Our venerable Church does not approve -
- of taking "love thy neighbor" too literally.
Are no bells rung for gay people?
The bell ringing hasn't been working for over a week.
If you could repair them, the bells -
- woul also ring for your friend.
Can we talk now?
What do you want from me?
Who do you think you are?
For a week.
They've been broken for over a week.
When can we meet then? Come here!
Maurizio! Shall we go?
She lied to us.
Mom! Dad! Come on! (Sofia:) Go first!
Signora Fulgoni! ... Signora Fulgoni! Excuse me!
Mom! I'll be right there.
You said you were in bed at 11 p.m. on the night of the murder.
You were sure. Because I heard the bells.
Right! Strange! The bells have been broken for a week.
Then... it must have been another church. Aha!
Which ones can you hear from your window?
The Madonna dell'Orto is the only one here.
Maybe I was dreaming.
You were in bed at 11 p.m.? We were in bed.
Whether any bells rang or not!
She gives him a false alibi?
He set to become head of Leriga-Bank. We have got him!
At least soon. Alvise is on it. This Penzo -
- will be arrested. "Penzo"?
Yes. He was madly in love with Fontana. But Fontana wasn't in love with him.
Crime of passion. It's all here!
And the best part: "Penzo"?
They found a bloody cloth in his trash I bet it's from Fontana's!
"Penzo"? Yes, Penzo!
Of course! Case closed! Go on vacation!
We don't have to ask any judge any uncomfortable questions.
I said she had nothing to do with it. And I was right.
Vice-Questore!
Where do the letters come from? They were delivered here.
From whom? What do I know?
Or someone wants to blame Penzo for the murder.
Nonsense! Everything fits. Otherwise we wouldn't have received an arrest warrant.
By whom? By a judge? The matter is over for you.
Have a nice vacation! I don't think it was Penzo.
Are you saying I'm wrong? No. You're never wrong.
Commissario! What happens now? You heard it. Case solved!
Go on vacation! And you?
I want to find out why Signora Fulgoni is lying.
Without me?
Good morning, Signorina!
Good morning, Signore Fulgoni!
We just came from the board meeting. Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
So! ... Why did she lie?
Because she suspects that her husband murdered Fontana.
She made up the alibi.
Because he was with Fontana. Our "unknown man" is not unknown.
Fulgoni? But he's... Married?
But he has 2... [The doorbell rings.]
[The doorbell rings again.]
The police are in my apartment.
Yeah. So what do we do with him now?
We could arrest him.
Patta pats us on the shoulder.
Or? Or we convict Fulgoni and risk our jobs.
Patta has never patted me on the shoulder.
But how do we convict Fulgoni?
We don't.
[Applause]
To the man who will lead us into the future!
He has our trust and that of our clients.
We are in an excellent position. We want to celebrate that.
Cheers! (All:) May he live long!
I will do everything I can not to disappoint you.
We need to talk, Sofia.
No. We don't.
You are with me. That's all that matters.
Think of us! ... Think of our children!
Please listen to me!
[A phone rings.]
- Yes? - You killed him.
- Where did you get this number? - Come into the storage room!
"Now!" I can't right now.
I'll tell your wife.
[Water splashes.] I'm coming.
- Where are you going? - Out.
Who called? The man from before? What does he want?
Maurizio! Talk to me! Please! Don't walk away again!
Don't walk away again!
So this is where you always met.
(Maurizio:) "Do you want money?"
I can tell you... The truth!
You wouldn't understand.
You killed him.
You took someone I loved.
- Did he become annoying? - What do you know?
Do you know what it's like when you're stuck in a life -
- that doesn't belong to you?
Only with Araldo could I be who I really was.
Then he wanted me to leave Sofia.
And the children. For him.
He tried to force me.
You didn't know what to do.
You were afraid of losing everything.
So you lashed out.
- I had no choice. - You always have a choice.
Really?
She must never know.
I confess that I murdered Araldo.
No one must know why. Promise!
For Sofia and the children!
How exactly did it happen?
When we were together, I would wait in the shed.
So that no one sees us leave together. But that night -
- I left first.
I waited for him and ...
There was this statue and...
... when he was in front of me ...
He wanted to tell Sofia the truth. So I...
How many times?
How many times did you hit him?
Once.
You waited in the courtyard. When Fontana stood in front of you, -
- you hit him.
The perpetrator was not standing in front of Fontana, but behind him.
He struck not once, but three times.
I can't remember.
Because it wasn't you.
Right?
But why...
Back! Now! Turn around! ... We have to go back.
What... What do you want from me?
It should stop. Men like you need to leave my husband alone.
Men like me? He has a family.
You can't destroy everything.
Please don't! ... Your husband can't help how he feels.
I only loved Araldo.
I don't want anything from your husband. I don't believe that.
I don't believe that... Put down your gun!
Sofia, do what he says!
What did... What did you say to him?
I'm sorry!
Are you sorry?
I did everything I could...
...for us to be happy.
For you to be happy...
Everything!
I'm even going to jail for this.
Is that all you have to say about it?
"I'm sorry."
Mom! Beetle!
Come! We have...
I had a bad dream.
My... beetle!
She confessed to everything.
That can reduce his sentence. And him?
The bank fired him. He doesn't comply to -
- their idea of morality. Hmm!
And the landlord and the judge? Penzo wants to reopen their cases.
Does he have a chance?
We live in Italy, you know?
If not here, where else do miracles happen?
[A phone beeps.]
Hmm! ... Just a message. Yeah. From who?
