Thanks!
What did the woman die of?
Hmm? What she died of.
It says "heart attack" here.
And what's this?
The ladies! Two espressos. Thank you!
(Woman:) Thank you very much! (Waiter:) You're welcome!
No, thank you! But he was thrilled.
Signore Patta? Signore Patta -
- sitting up there. Ah yes! Thank you!
Commissario!
Don't you recognize me?
That's not true.
How long ago was that? 8 years? 10.
Are you still studying in Milan? Not for a long time.
What are you doing here? Watching your fingers.
Salvatore starts tomorrow at the public prosecutor's office.
Here with us? Well, certainly not in Siberia.
* Salvatore laughs out loud. *
Do you want to put down roots? Sit down!
So? What shall we have? The linguine with vongole.
And after that, grilled sea bream. And salad. Perfect.
And you? And you? Bean soup.
Still so modest?
* His phone rings. * Yes? ... Ah yes, good!
Yes, yes. I'm coming. I'm coming. Are you leaving?
If your son wants his first case, I have to go. Have a nice day!
Commissario! I'll wait outside.
The real Venetians are dying out. Who needs real Venetians?
Museum guards would be better. Come here!
The amateur pathologists were right. She was strangled.
The cause of death will be determined by the autopsy.
It says "heart failure" here.
Sloppily issued death certificates are common.
I once had a person who died naturally - - with a bullet in his back with
me.
Do you know the family doctor Doctor Voltoni?
What? Is he still practicing?
Professors! The undertakers are asking when you'll be finished.
There are six funerals coming up.
I'm finished. ... She's going to the forensic medicine department.
You'll have the report on your desk by the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Thank you! Bye!
They said Constanza died of heart failure.
The circumstances of her death have not yet been fully clarified.
Why? A doctor was there.
We can't say anything more yet.
You're not wheezing anymore. Fewer carbohydrates, no sugar.
Why were you in the apartment? I'm a translator and I'm often away.
Constanza took my mail.
I came from London. Late at night!
Her light was on. I knocked.
She didn't respond. I went in.
They called the doctor. Yes. Dr. Voltoni. Your family doctor.
"She was wearing a scarf?"
Yes. And
this Dr. Voltoni didn't - - accept it? No.
It's unbelievable!
Did she have friends or acquaintances who visited her regularly?
Besides her son? No. Do you know of any money problems?
Or did she have an argument with anyone? No.
Constanza was so lovely.
I can't think of anyone she didn't get along with.
Women's underwear, all sizes.
(Man:) Hello?
Hello? Hello!
Mr. Altavilla! What's going on here?
Are you in charge? Commissario Brunetti.
Sergeant Vianello.
What's going on? We're all standing - - at my mother's grave. No one has informed us.
She was strangled? There are strangulation marks.
The exact cause of death must be determined by the autopsy.
Her family doctor didn't take off her scarf.
Have you seen them often?
As much as possible. My practice is in Perugia.
My mother didn't have much time either.
As a pensioner, she has caught up on everything.
Who would do something like that?
Was she mugged?
No signs of a break-in. Then she would have let the perpetrator in.
Was she in a relationship? Did she live with anyone?
Father died 4 years ago. She is 66.
Yes. When did you last visit her?
She called about her refrigerator. Last month.
When did you see her?
Around Christmas.
Over half a year ago.
How do you know she hasn't met anyone? Did your mother want to go into a home?
My mother?
Of course not! Why do you ask? Just like that! ... Thank you!
Why do you think she wanted to go to a home?
There was a brochure from the "Casa di Cura" on her dresser.
But what do you mean? They have an ulterior motive.
The "Casa di Cura" doesn't have the best reputation.
It's been in the headlines often.
I looked at it back then for my mother.
Why is she interested ... in this home?
Given the look of her apartment, she could have chosen a better one.
Vaporetto? I'll walk.
That's no problem. Wait! ... Inspector Brunetti!
Do you remember? I took care of your mother.
Sister Immaculata! Now I recognize you.
Without... Are you no longer in the Order?
No. I quit.
Now you work here?
Uh, ... yes. Are you looking for a new home for your mother?
No. My mother died 2 years ago.
Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't know that.
I liked her very much. Yes, I know.
You are not here by chance.
I want to know if Constanza Altavilla wanted a place here.
Constanza? She comes here often. Sometimes every day.
Really? Does she have friends here?
She visits our residents, spends time with them.
What is it? She was found dead.
What? ... That's terrible!
What happened?It's too soon to talk about it.
It was nice seeing you again.
Elettra? Are you in the office?
I'm planning an attack on you. ... A little research.
*A door is unlocked.*
Hmm!
Did you know that I haven't eaten anything?
The kids and I eat too, when you're not here. ... Well!
What's that?
A bottle from your anniversary.
How's your new case coming along? How do you know?
It's in the "Gazzettino online."
And what does it say? That the strangulation marks were overlooked.
This time, they're going after the family doctors.
Take the essentials with you! We'll take care of it.
Don't call your husband!
Hello! Is there something to celebrate? The children's return.
Who is she talking to on the phone? Oh God!
Her woman-in-distress thingamajig. She had stopped doing that.
She's getting back into it.
Reading books: violence against women, men, dogs.
Good morning!
The documents have been passed on. Good morning! Good morning!
Good morning! Are you here already? "Already" is good. It's after 9.
In the new series you can win 200,000 euros.
Plus 6,000 over 20 years.
And another 100,000. 5 euros per ticket?
Yes. Did you inherit something?
Better than smoking.
What's that? Greetings from Elettra!
She's in the office.
Do you know anyone who won?
Good morning!
It's beautiful how the sun reflects in the water! The city has dressed up. You can use Calle dei Fabbri
again.
That saves me 10 minutes.
I always think: "This
must have been what Venice was like in its great, glorious days."
The palazzi there are beautiful. Yes.
If you don't look behind them.
An investor would see it differently. Hotel, guesthouse, brothel.
Your home doesn't have the best reputation.
Last scandal 2.5 months ago.
A nurse listed services that he did not provide.
The tip came from a person who helps people on a voluntary basis.
Is there a name for this? No.
And the nurse? No. I can call.
No. You've done enough. Commissario!
You like going to the opera, don't you? Yes.
Tonight, "Madame Butterfly." My mother turned me down.
How about? A geisha, an officer. Perfect mix!
Sorry! I can't do this.
Do you want to let me go alone?
A beautiful woman like you is never alone.
You think Altavilla reported the caregiver?
She worked voluntarily at the home.
The colleagues had to arrive at Altavilla two weeks ago.
A man was causing a disturbance in front of her door. Why?
I have no idea! Good morning!
The man left undetected. A description?
Ask the colleagues! * A phone rings. *
Yes? Patta here. I have your case.
The sloppily issued death certificate.
Constanza Altavilla. Terrible thing! I know her son.
You're friends. "Friends" would be too strong a word.
"I
was once treated by him." My dog. He's a veterinarian.
Capable man! The matter needs to be examined thoroughly. The newspapers are picking it up.
On the front page of "Nuova." They're focusing on it.
Old-age poverty and all that.
You read it everywhere. ... Doctor! Dottore Salvatore Patta!
Patta? His son.
Brunetti? ... I hope, you're taking this seriously.
"I want to file charges
against the doctor." We owe that to the elderly. There are more and more of them.
Whatever! Call me, as soon as you have something!
What? ... The son? Hmm! He's a prosecutor now.
Here with us? Yes, with us.
The Vice-Questore can be proud. But how!
* The conversations are unintelligible. *
Manuela! Will you take over, please?
Yes, of course!
Braised beef with baked potatoes.
Commissario! Hello! Hello!
Sergeant Vianello! Signorina Maria!
You want to see my boss.
We want to know more about Signora Altavilla.
Who had closer contact with her? Signora Morandi. There by the wheelchair.
Come! Constanza took care of her, -
- who cannot participate in general activities. Can we talk to her?
Of course! I'll let my boss know.
* Loud music*
Signore Solli!
We had agreed not to bring any music to dinner.
A little bit! Then you're done. * The music is off. *
Signora Morandi? May we? Yes, please!
* The music is back on. *
Commissario Brunetti. * The music is off. *
Sergente Vianello. It's about Signora Altavilla.
You... know her. Don't you? Constanza?
Yes, of course! What about her? Isn't she coming today?
Uh, ... no. Uh, ...
Unfortunately! ... She's dead.
Oh!
Constanza... dead?
Oh my God!
She was such a good woman.
Did she visit you often?
How often?
I'm sorry, what?
How often she visited you.
Constanza was such a good listener.
No,... Roberto?
You could actually tell her anything.
And sometimes you felt -
- like in a confession. How?
What do you mean? Come on, Roberto!
Just one last bite! Then you're done.
Something happened?
Can I help? Commissario Brunetti.
Sergente Vianello. Who are you? Morandi. Benito Morandi.
You... you're her husband? Yes.
We thought... I know. You could think that.
But she only cares about him.
She doesn't always know who she's talking to. But it's good for her.
We come for Signora Altavilla.
She was found dead at home.
My God! That's terrible!
You knew her too? Me? Of course!
She was always busy here.
I don't live here. I visit my wife every day.
Benito! Don't you want to introduce me to your friends?
Giulia! Now eat already! The food is getting cold.
I have to take care of her now. Otherwise she won't eat anything.
Giulia! I beg you. Eat something!
Commissioner!
May I introduce you? My boss.
Signora Rosa. Hello!
We are investigating the death of Signora Altavilla.
In our home? She was here often.
What does this have to do with her death?
I thought it was heart failure. That's what the family doctor wrote.
We have discovered strangulation marks.
Did Signora Altavilla have an argument with one of your carers?
We should go to my office.
(Benito:) All right, gentlemen!
There were two lots here.
For the ladies! And best of all, pay immediately.
Thank you! Please!
Thank you! You will receive your...
The man's name is Sergio Cuccetti. He was fired.
He falsified nursing documentation during the night shift.
What does Signora Altavilla have to do with it?
She noticed that he treated the residents roughly.
She said that he wasn't providing her with enough care.
She spoke to me, and I admonished Cuccetti.
But she then reported him to the home supervision office.
Does something like this happen often? Do you mean here?
I took over management 3 months ago.
There were difficulties. But things are getting better.
What kind of person was Signora Altavilla?
She was very generous.
She took care of everyone. No matter how difficult they were.
But she had her own ideas.
She considered many things to be vices. For example?
Gambling, television. She said, you should read instead.
You could tell that she used to teach.
And she had a special relationship with the truth.
What do you mean? I grew up in Sicily.
Truth is viewed differently.
Not really! You see them differently.
But respect them anyway.
In Sicily, people are more frugal, when it comes to the truth.
It costs more to be honest.
And Constanza Altavilla? She wanted honesty.
No matter what the cost. Is this a mistake?
No. ... That's luxury.
Thank you for your sincerity!
With such chairs, we would save a lot of time during surveys.
* A doorbell rings. *
* The phone rings again. * Wait!
Hey! Are you Paola?
Yes. And who are... Who are you?
Elena. Chiara said, I can live here.
Sergio Cuccetti.
Several drug offenses and bodily harm.
Blonde, around 40. Could be a good fit. Have you asked your colleague, -
- from whom the rioter escaped? Yes.
And who is it? Alvise.
Then call him! Come in!
Can you make this a little bigger?
Even bigger, please!
So, yes. Good!
Hard to say.
Perhaps.
He came towards us. It was dark.
We wanted him to show his ID.
But he ran away from you.
Have you been to Signora Altavilla?
Yes. Everything was fine there.
What did the man want from her? She didn't know.
Enough for a search warrant.
* A bell rings. *
The mail. * The door opener buzzes. *
Stop, Cuccetti!
Open the door!
Cuccetti! Open up!
That doesn't make any sense.
Open up!
Open up! * He hears the toilet flush. *
The toilet flush!
Shit!
Cuccetti! Throw it over! Makes it easier.
* Loud rock music *
A nurse's salary is not enough for something like that.
What? He can't afford it.
But about that.
How did you come up with that idea? Main tap!
In Venice, the water comes from below.
Piritramide, fentanyl, and morphine. That all falls -
- under the Narcotics Act.
Reported stolen at the hospital where he works.
Well done! Excellent work!
Sergio Cuccetti.
Living at Calle Tiepolo 2?
Answer yes or no!
Yes. Have you been instructed?
Yes. Employed at the Ospedale Civile -
- San Giovanni e Paolo? Why are you even asking?
Yes. From March 1, 2010 -
- until June 30, 2012, you were a nurse at the "Casa di Cura?"
Let's get to the point! What are you accusing me of? This is an interrogation.
"You can comment on the matter later."
"Answer my questions!" He's doing a good job.
He does it really well.
I agree, Vice-Questore. ... Brilliant!
"They want revenge."
You've lost your job. You're rioting in front of your door.
Until the police arrive. I... want a lawyer.
I say nothing. At night -
"- on Saturday you are in your apartment. There is an argument."
And then strangle them. You've lost it!
We never had contact. She arranged for your release.
The home supervisor caught me. She gave the tip-off.
You have falsified care records.
"Everyone does that." "Oh!"
Did you have an argument with her?
Or didn't you? No!
Shit! He's lying. He's pretending he doesn't know Altavilla.
They had an argument. That's his motive.
There is certainly evidence. Stolen medication.
That's enough for pre-trial detention. I'll talk to the judge.
We take care of the home? Good!
Very good!
They look incredibly great.
10 minutes? ... I'll get the boat.
Here is the report.
You're going with him? It just happened that way.
Dr. Aurino was there when you were gone.
It says here... "Death from heart failure".
And the strangulation marks? She was strangled.
Death from excitement. Death in an instant.
And Dr. Aurino found lamotrigine in her blood.
Have you had any health problems? How to take it.
This is an antidepressant.
I have to. Have fun!
You know, Brunetti?
Altavilla's son is the veterinarian my son always went to.
Salvatore had a husky.
They are very sensitive. Especially in this climate.
Salvatore had to give him away.
It was just too much for him. But he doesn't care about the vet -
- nothing's come since then. So, Brunetti! Get moving!
Will you give me the water?
(Quietly:) Dad!
Are you still going to school?
No. I quit.
But you live with your parents?
No. With my boyfriend. That's why I'm here. He hit me.
Why did he "hit" you? Because he's an idiot.
Some more salad?
I still have some. I'll take some more.
Thanks!
Just bring along some bums!
Yes. If they need help.
Everything was full here. What could I say?
"Let yourself be beaten up"? I think she'd rather beat him up.
You're annoying! I'm going to lock my room.
Do we have another pillow? In the closet.
In the bedroom. Chiara!
You could have asked. I called.
You didn't answer. Those few days!
One week! You're stuffy.
Talking about justice at university and doing nothing about it at home!
We used to shout "bourgeois" too loudly.
You always get everything back.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
(Elena:) Man, not now! * Water splashes. *
(Elena:) Chiara! I have to go.
When is your appointment at the social welfare office?
I don't know! 2 p.m. or so. I can't do this. Here!
My key. Down, up.
Cool, thanks! It's nice to see you again.
You're going to put that away now. Or?
It's only for a few days.
Half of Italians between 18 and 39 still live at home.
Well! Maybe we should move out.
Yes! Just you and me on a deserted island.
And your case? Do you have a suspect?
The old lady denounced a nurse.
With the nursing supervisor. He lost his job.
Do you think he killed her for that?
Nurses are needed everywhere.
For me that is not a motive.
The prosecutor sees it differently. Since when do you care about something like that?
He is... Patta's son.
Salvatore is now a prosecutor with us? You can't be serious!
Didn't you catch him with drugs?
The colleagues in Jesolo.
There was no report. He has you to thank for that.
And now you have him on your neck.
As a prosecutor. Yes.
Fate.
* A door is unlocked. *
Oh! Prosecutor Patta has allowed me to -
- To take Mother's personal belongings to Perugia. Come!
Did you sleep here? Me? ... No.
Then who did she have it for? For acquaintances, probably.
"Acquaintance"?
Did you know that your mother -
- took antidepressants?
Excuse me? Lamotrigine.
That can't be! But it was in her blood.
My mother would have told me that.
She hasn't told you a lot. You've hardly seen her.
My practice is open 6 days a week.
Even during the summer holidays.
I think you don't want to admit it.
But... her mother was lonely.
Signora Altavilla took women into her home.
I guess women in need.
I already know where I can start.
Take care of the care protocols!
Yes! We'll meet then. Good!
Write us an email!
But your friend must not have access to the account.
Of course! ... No problem! ... Bye!
That was the woman from Verona. Will you take her?
Gladly! Do you have the email address?
Yes. Chiara?
What are you doing here? ... It's fine!
Can I speak to you briefly?
Why? Could you come here, please?
I'll be right back.
What is it? It's about your work.
Don't you start like Raffi! No! That's not what it's about!
Victims of domestic violence call here.
Not only. But also?
Yes. What do you do with the women?
Refer to a women’s shelter.
Always? Depending on the severity of the case.
Some initiatives also provide private accommodation for the women.
Here in Venice too? Yes, "Alba Libera".
Will you give me the address? Why?
Chiara, please! It's important.
But I'll call beforehand.
You could have come earlier.
Yes, that's right.
Inspector Brunetti?
You'll look in vain for a doorbell.
We are not in the phone book.
Our offices are not representative.
I founded "Alba Libera" 5 years ago.
How did you come up with this?
My brother-in-law killed my sister.
He was a violent man.
But she loved him despite everything.
He hit her. Of course, always with reason.
A hard day, something was wrong with the food.
She looked at another man.
At some point... he broke her nose.
Only then did she go to the police. But it didn't help.
So she moved out.
But she stayed in the city. Her work was here.
One day he stood at her door.
With a revolver. He shot her three times in the face.
And twice in the chest, even though she was already dead.
And... Then he shot himself.
I remember the case. It was 6 years ago.
Yes.
I was always on the go. I had promised her:
We'll talk when I get back. But by then it was too late.
I had previously led an initiative in Rome.
I knew how to get permits and money.
We now have offices across the country.
And enough volunteers to help and take in women.
And they're safe there? Safer than where they came from.
Since when did Signora Altavilla make her apartment available?
I'd have to check. No longer than a year.
Who was with her last?
You didn't say what it's about.
Signora Altavilla is dead.
Constanza? ... How did this happen?
Heart failure. After being strangled.
And that's why I need to know who was with her last.
A young Sicilian woman. Her husband almost beat her to death.
We received them 14 days ago -
- quartered with Constanza. And the name?
We promise women to protect their identity.
I need both names.
What if the man was with Signora Altavilla?
And attacked her.
The women often come to us after years of fear.
You have to be able to trust us.
Signora Orsoni! ... You're talking to me.
Yes. ... Yes. Sorry.
Gabriela Pavon.
Her husband has a shoemaker's shop in Dorsoduro.
The apartment is above the workshop.
On Calle della Malvasia.
If the press finds out about this, no one will donate anymore.
Thank you!
Oh! There's a lot to do.
Do all doors look like this? I think so.
I'll take a look at it.
Signora Verla? ...Oh, man!
Sorry! No problem!
You haven't had anything to drink. You have to drink.
Your skin is dry. I don't want to be a burden to anyone.
Otherwise you'll have to keep taking me to the toilet.
You ring as often as you want. I don't want a catheter.
We won't give you one if we don't have to.
You go to the toilet as often as you like. Drink!
Excuse me? Commissario Brunetti's colleague is downstairs.
Would you relieve me? Of course! ... Hello!
Hello! Hello!
What can I do? I need -
- the work plans of Sergio Cuccetti.
And the care protocols. Why do you need them?
He says he knew nothing about Signora Altavilla's complaint.
He knew that. But we have to prove it to him.
Good! Wait here?
I will put together the documents for you.
Be careful! Otherwise the number will be gone. This only happens once.
Do you play too? Me? No, never.
But everyone else here is crazy about it.
Well! Great happiness.
You're probably never too old for that.
* Cannot understand *
It sounds crazy. But sometimes I think she's just acting.
To punish me.
But why should she punish you?
I don't really know either.
I've never had much luck in life.
We could never afford big leaps.
Maybe that's why. You have nothing to say to me.
Come! Come! Come! Wait a minute!
Please! I have a search warrant.
Have you seen it? Thank you!
Yes, everything. The entire desk. The documents!
We need them. What's going on?
Where is Brunetti? Check clues.
We take care of the home. It's the boss's business!
All those people? Search!
But the management is cooperating. They believe in the good.
Hello!
* Water splashes. *
Inspector Brunetti.
Are you Mr. Pavon?
Is your wife at home?
Why?
I want to talk to her. She's not here.
Where can I find her? She can go wherever she wants.
When did you last see her? What's it to you?
Signora Altavilla.
Do you know the name?
No? That's the old lady who took in your wife.
She is dead.
Now you know who I'm talking about. Get out of my store!
I'll be back.
You can be sure of that.
Are you satisfied now?
Is this what you wanted? What do you think?
We can close. What happened?
Patta Jr. It's on TV.
"The 'Casa di Cura' retirement home in Castello has often made headlines."
"Now a man is supposed to a female employee -"
"- murdered." "This is about people, -"
"- who need our help. Our parents!"
"We have to look at what's happening in homes. Even if it hurts."
(Reporter:) "The home management must explain themselves."
"Did she cover for the geriatric nurse?"
"He falsified care records and put patients in danger."
Yes. The 4 p.m. news is already online.
We should take care of the home. What kind of customs are these? Knock!
I've seen how you take care of things.
You were always a loudmouth. Brunetti!
Caution! Watch your tone!
The home has problems. But it has new management.
She has improved a lot.
You're ruining it. Cuccetti acted negligently.
He endangered the lives of patients.
What did the home management know? Cuccetti was fired.
You only care about one thing: making a name for yourself.
Enough, Brunetti! I need to talk to you. Alone, outside.
They don't like the way I run the Questura.
But leave my son out of there!
He is declaring a nursing emergency, which doesn't exist.
He advocates for poor elderly people.
They couldn't choose their home.
But it must be a humane place.
You know from your own mother what a good home costs.
A normal pension is not sufficient for this. Unless -
- the rich in-laws open their wallets.
Now don't look like that!
That's no secret. And good for your mother.
But not everyone has that privilege.
I demand of you, -
- that from now on you will discuss everything with me or Salvatore.
No more solo efforts!
* He slams the door loudly. *
(Chiara:) "Of course you do!"
I gave you back the MP3 player.
No! I put it in your room.
He's not there. Just ask your amazing girlfriend!
Good evening! ... Good evening!
What's going on there?
She didn't come back.
Elena? Yes.
And our key?
Away! Chiara called her. She's not answering her phone.
You change the locks.
How was it for you?
Your case? No.
Yes.
It doesn't matter!
Come on! Tell me! What's going on?
Was it right to accept your parents' money?
For my mother's home.
How do you come to that conclusion? It doesn't matter where the money came from.
What was important was that your mother was happy. And you too.
We are a family!
You would have done the same for my parents. too.
So! What is it really?
Yes. Come here! Good morning!
Good morning! Good morning, Inspector!
We'll sort this out in the office.
Where is Alvise? I have no idea!
We'll invite him to breakfast. Alvise?
To Dorsoduro. ... The patta has...
I'm consulting with my colleagues.
Thanks for the call! Alvise?
I've been wondering why we don't do more together.
I usually eat lunch alone. We want to change that.
Strengthen team spirit!
* Unintelligible * Take a seat here!
Thanks, Commissario! Please, please!
What would you like to drink? Me?
A coffee. The brioches are delicious.
Go on! Just one!
For me too! What do you want?
No coffee, no brioche.
Carrot juice! 2 coffees, a brioche.
* Cannot understand *
2! "2"? Good! 10 euros!
* Cannot understand *
Don't you want to scratch it off yourself? Later!
(Woman:) I am desperate.
What is it? There! That man.
"The man"? Which man?
The shoemaker. What about him?
That could be the stranger in front of Signora Altavilla's door.
Are you sure? I don't know.
Look at him closely!
Yes! Absolutely!
That's him! Are you sure?
Yes! Request reinforcements!
I told you that I would come back.
You have no business being here. Yes, you do!
We have that. There is a witness.
He saw you on the 23rd in the house in Altavilla.
They rioted. They wanted their wife back.
A week later they came back.
Signora Altavilla has fought back.
And you attacked them.
* Sobs * Get out of here!
Signora Pavon?
* A woman sobs. * Signora Pavon!
Brunetti? ... What's gotten into you?
Alvise says he plans to Altavilla's door rioted.
You were in the apartment without a warrant.Imminent danger.
No solo actions! He messed her up like this.
Where is your son?
A beaten woman doesn't interest him.
How are you doing?
Are you in pain? No.
They were with Signora Altavilla.
I spoke with Signora Orsoni.
What happens to him now?
With whom? Nico.
Her husband. Well! If he killed her, he'll go to jail.
Who? ...Signora Altavilla?
Yes. You were there. He wanted to get you.
But Signora Altavilla called the police. Nico had to go.
And the second time? What do you think?
He brought you back. I went home myself.
You went back?
You don't know him.
Nico loves me. He can't live without me.
Signora Pavon! Your husband has beaten you. Not for the first time.
They turned to "Alba Libera" for a reason.
He promised not to do it again.
We want to do therapy.
Together!
You don't have to testify against your husband.
But lying to protect him is a crime.
But it's the truth. He didn't get me.
I'm back myself. He didn't kill Signora Altavilla.
You're out. Scarpa and Alvise are taking over the case.
Send them all the material immediately!
* A door is unlocked. *
Where were you? We were waiting for you.
Understood?
I had to hand the case over. What?
Why is that? Patta!
I disobeyed his instructions.
That wouldn't be the first time.
What happened? It's because of Patta's son.
He makes a name for himself without consideration.
Then I don't understand something. What?
Aurino wanted to speak to you. When?
An hour ago. You should call back.
Today. I've turned it off.
* A phone rings. *
Finally! "What is it?"
What's going on with you? Why?
I have 5 exhumations here. What?
Former residents of the "Casa di Cura".
When? "Tomorrow morning!"
On what basis? I thought you'd tell me that.
I'm not responsible. Can you still give me the names?
Do you have something to write? ... "Reynard, Marie".
"Trovajoli, Armando". "Crociani, Stephano".
"Torcaval, Emma". "Rolla, Marcello".
"Visiting hours are over." Commissario Brunetti!
I need to speak to Signora Rosa.
What now? You've already caused enough problems.
The public prosecutor's office wants to exhume five people.
Former residents. Why?
I don't know. Who is it?
The names mean nothing to me. "Marie Reynard".
Yes! There was something. The name came up when I started here.
Marie Reynard died 4 months ago on the night of April 13th.
A note is entered here.
"Her room was messy when she was found in the morning."
"Like someone had searched it."
Who looked after her at night?
Sergio Cuccetti.
The entry is by Maria Testa. Yes.
Cuccetti is a chatterbox. Lazy, unreliable.
No idea why he became a nurse!
Do you remember April 13th?
Of course! ... I had the early shift.
Mary?
"Signora Reynard was very orderly."
I noticed that someone was at her things.
"I ran to the home administration."
Immediately. What did they say?
They were totally overwhelmed. That was before Signora Rosa.
They said I was just imagining it.
I wanted it to be noted in the minutes.
So that it doesn't seem like I stole.
They believe it was Cuccetti.
I told that to the prosecutor.
How? What? Was he here today? Yes. This morning.
What did he want? He had questions.
On Signora Reynard's death.
Can I imagine that he helped. With medication.
And? That's nonsense!
Sergio is a thief, but not a murderer.
And she had nothing. Just a small pension.
And no more relatives.
Cuccetti sedated Reynard and robbed him? Absurd!
The prosecutor goes even further. I am sure:
All residents on the list died on Cuccetti's shift.
Died completely normally. He wants to exhume everyone.
My God!
Will you have fish or meat, my darling?
Excuse me! Vice-Questore Patta? Ah, look!
Excuse me! You're welcome!
What are you doing here? Sorry to bother you!
What is it? Your son!
He wants to have five former residents exhumed tomorrow.
He discussed that with me. I don't want to hear anything.
I am not discussing with you.
You are no longer responsible for the case.
If this becomes known, the home will have to close.
Should we stop the investigation?
No. Just maintain proportionality.
There was nothing to be gained from Signora Reynard.
Why should Cuccetti have killed her? That applies to everyone.
There were always nurses who injected patients to death.
Simply to be master over life and death.
Then just exhume Signora Reynard!
Was there any third-party fault?
Then exhume the others!
What you said about my mother, I've thought about it.
I took money from my in-laws.
So that my mother can go to a good home.
Others cannot do that.
We must not ruin the "Casa di Cura" through haste.
Then bring me something! Bring me something at last!
The case is getting out of control.
What about the ransacked room of the dead?
And the Altavilla murder case? Still unsolved.
We keep coming across a name.
From this nurse. Carotti! Cuccetti.
That's what I'm saying.
I give you 24 hours.
If you don't have anything, I'll have it exhumed.
Thanks! Yes, yes.
You canceled the exhumation.
Why? I just moved it.
Where do I stand now? Better than if you were hasty.
What do you mean by that?
Salvatore!
With the exhumations, you confront 5 families with -
- that a relative may have been murdered.
And the consequences for the home. Brunetti!
Brunetti told you that. He didn't.
But he's right that we first need clear evidence.
I'm fed up. You always believed him more than me. Always!
You've given me enough reason to do so.
You always see each other twice.
You know her? Yes. What did she do?
Shoplifting. Is that her bag?
Hmm! ... Yes. May I try?
I just borrowed it. If you think -
- to get by like this, don't steal from those who want to help you! ... Off!
Commissioner!
Was it okay to call you? Yes, yes.
Do you think this has anything to do with the murder?
Signorina! We'll take care of it.
I believe:
She's right. The murderer was here again.
He was looking for what he didn't take last time.
But what?
Some fatigue after the vaccination stress is normal.
We look at the ears.
* A phone rings. * Altavilla Veterinary Practice!
Someone really wants to talk to you. Not now!
Commissario Brunetti from Venice.
Excuse me!
Hello? "Am I disturbing you?" Yes. What is it?
What did you take from your mother's apartment?
Sorry! ... Just the most important things.
Bank documents, jewelry, letters.
Was there anything valuable left? Why do you ask?
There was a break-in.
Again? Was something stolen? "We believe:"
What the burglar was looking for was no longer there.
Because I took it with me? "Yes. Is there something, -"
"- that you've never seen before?" Wait!
There was a key like that in her passport.
What kind of key? "I'm looking for it right now."
Looks like a locker.
What does it say? A number.
Tell us and fax a power of attorney for the safe deposit box!
If it is one. Do you have something to write?
"Yes." "FX752GH8".
I need the court order as soon as possible.
The power of attorney isn't actually sufficient without a key. That's good.
Thanks!
Commissioner!
Yes?
A top prize! ... 100,000 euros!
Gambling was a vice for her. She certainly didn't buy it.
Yes, who then?
* Loud music *
* Cannot understand *
Gentlemen!
Thanks!
Signora! This is for you.
It's really weird. A piece of paper.
Either it's just a dud.
Or ... the entry to a better life.
How did you know about the lot?
What do you mean by that? They went back to look for it.
When we investigate, we will question your wife. Do you want that?
So! ... Where did Signora Altavilla get the ticket? From you?
No. She never played. But the others did.
Yes. But they're not really interested in winning.
They simply love the excitement.
So someone won after all. Yes. Marie Reynard.
100,000 euros. A lot of money. I gave it to her.
What? The lot.
I had bought 2.
"One for me, one for her." That, please! I'll take that.
It could have been the other one.
Were you there when she discovered the prize?
My reading glasses. I gave her mine.
Thank you very much! ... I won. "She was very excited."
She wanted to surprise everyone. That didn't happen.
She died during the night.
I... I didn't want to steal from her.
Really! I've never robbed anyone.
"She left the light on. I wanted to check. But..."
"...she was already dead."
"They searched the room."
Yes. Nobody knew about the lot.
Imagine if it had simply disappeared!
Who will take care of Giulia when I'm no longer here?
With the money I would have given her to a better home.
And further!
Giulia has it Signora Altavilla tells.
Your Giulia knew about it? Yes, from me.
I thought she'd forget. She didn't.
She told Altavilla. Yes. Everyone told her everything.
She harassed the people with her piety.
She interfered in my marriage.
Probably because she herself had no life.
Did she take the lot away from you? Signora Altavilla? No.
Giulia pulled it out of my pocket.
And gave it to Signora Altavilla.
It was a kind of absolution for you.
They went to Signora Altavilla. I wanted to talk to her.
"She should give me back the ticket."
"I paid for it, too." What do you want?
I need to talk to you.
I'm coming up. No time!
Why shouldn't it be my money?
She said no. She scolded.
Talk to me! Please! Leave me alone!
You're a lousy businessman.
"I would just take advantage of everyone."
Small businesses! And then?
She wanted to throw me out. Get out of here!
I didn't want to hurt her. I'm old. What can I do?
Hands off! I'm not doing anything.
I'm calling the police. I wanted to explain everything to her.
Help! She wasn't listening.
"She threatened to tell Giulia that I was -"
- a bad person.
Help! ... Help!
Calm down! Calm down! Keep calm! Help! Help! ... Help!
"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!"
They strangled her.
She should finally be quiet.
Help! Help! * She wheezes. *
* She gasps. *
Hello? Ms. Altavilla!
No no!
I wanted to help her. But it was too late.
I wanted Giulia to love me.
She never loved me. Never really.
When we met, she was 40.
She took me because she didn't want to be alone.
But I... I loved her.
She was so full of life.
I wanted to be by her side forever.
Morning! Good morning! ... He's already waiting.
Ah, Commissario! Glad you could come right away!
My son has something else to tell you.
Yes. Congratulations on resolving your case.
You did that very well.
Do you know, Commissario?
You also have to be able to admit mistakes.
Only... as a team you are strong.
Tell me, Commissario! This man...
Morandi admitted to strangling the woman.
She died of heart failure. A court decides, -
- what will become of him. Aha!
And the money? ... What happens with the main prize?
Is there an heir? No.
It will probably be donated to the home.
That was Signora Altavilla's intention. My dear Commissario!
I have to say: "Respect!"
Nobody really expected that.
Thank you! For what?
That you trusted me.
And how was the performance?
A bit old-fashioned.
But I like things like that.
How did Patta's son do as a ... companion?
Let's put it this way: ... "He tried hard."
No second time?
Oh, Inspector!
Do you know this one? Hmm!
Where from? I'll tell you later.
My MP3 player is back.
Raffi found him again.
In his desk. That's great!
But also strange. I had searched his room.
There was nothing in the drawer. You missed that.
Or someone tricked him later. Dad?
What? Do you want to compete with me?
