"THE OPIUM DEN" "WOMAN ROBBED AND MURDERED A little girl witness to the crime" "WOMAN KILLED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT" "POLICE ON THE TRACKS OF THE KILLER Part of the stolen jewellery recovered" " Why is he keeping us waiting?" " Be quiet, you can talk." " It's your fault we're here." " My fault?" "The way she was screaming, someone would have come." " It's just the way it went." " And the jewellery?" "The Maestro sent us to Maria's to get his things, the diamonds, the pin..." " Exactly what ended up in your hands." " I needed money." "Be honest, you gambled and lost everything." " Yes, the temptation was strong." " He'll make you pay for that." "Shut up." "Hello, Maestro." "You see what trouble you've landed us in, Giacomo?" "You've been loyal to me but now I must distance myself from you." "I know I messed up, but I'm ready to make amends." "I've got it all worked out." "Throw the cops a bone and they'll stop barking, and I've got a bone." "A kid who's been visiting us for over a year." "He lives alone with his sister." " I had something else in mind." " I know, to get rid of me." "But it's dangerous, they know I'm tied to you... and if I'm in trouble, so are you." "But if we give them the kid it's perfect I tell you." " Perhaps, what is his name?" " Corrado Vidonis." "He's in real bad shape." "I told him he'd wind up dead if he didn't stop coming here." "That's what he wants, he told me." "He's broke and he'd kill his own mother to pay for the drugs." " He's just who we need." " Where does he live?" "I know everything, and so does he, right?" "Yes." "Bring him here." "Your idea is good and that saddens me even more." "What are you going to do?" " What are you going to do?" " You're alone in the world, right?" "You don't have anyone, like me." "A crazy father somewhere in France, at least I think so." "I'll take care of him if he ever shows up." "You know, I'm a generous soul." "What do you mean?" "Hello?" "Good morning, Count." "Yes, I've been informed." "Don't worry, your usual room." "Thank you so much." "Hello?" "Corrado Vidonis." " What did you say his name was?" " Corrado Vidonis." "There's no Corrado Vidonis here." "They told you he was here?" "Try another hospital." "What?" "Huh?" "I don't understand." "Hello?" " Ma'am?" "May I?" " Again?" " I want to call the other hospitals." " Calls cost." " Put it on my tab." " You're kidding!" " Please." " It isn't just the phone, you owe me." " When will you settle?" " As soon as my brother comes back." "He's got the money, I've been looking for him for three days." "I'm worried something's happened to him." "Broken" "Thanks." "Wake up!" " Bad start." " Let's hurry." " You sure nobody's home?" " I've got the keys." "I lost my necklace." "I had it when I came in." "Why are you telling me?" " You're playing badly." " He always plays badly." " I'm sure I lost it here." " Then look for it." " I saw your brother." " Where?" "On the stairs, he doesn't look well." " I want lobster tonight." " I've only got tripe." " Leave that here." " No!" "It's nothing, an arm wrestle." "He won." "Loser pays." "Another dry white!" "You know what he's like." "Light a match." "I can't see a thing." "This is the first place the police will come looking." "Not a bad idea of mine." "Someone's coming." "Corrado!" "Leaving like that, without saying anything." "I was going out of my mind." "Where have you been?" "What is it?" "Tell me!" "Still!" "Who's there?" "Wait." " Corrado!" "Relax, me and my colleague here, we're with the police." " Who is he?" " My brother." "He should take better care of himself." "Where was he?" "He's been gone for three days." "The important thing is that we brought him back safe and sound." " I don't understand." " We've done our duty." "Thank you so much." " Problem with the electricity?" " Actually..." "I understand, it happens, even to the ones who pay their bills!" "Then they criticise the police." "Sometimes, if we weren't around..." "Right." " Well?" "Not saying hello?" " I don't know you." "Hold on." "We'll settle this outside." "Back at the station." "Take your hands out your pockets." "Pity, you seem like such nice guys." "Allow me..." " No." "A cigarette." "I roll them myself." " Don't trouble yourselves." " Move it." "Hold on, I'd like to tell the lady..." "Another time." "Outside." "Get out of here." " This doesn't end here." " Well don't tell me the ending." "Outside!" "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "What's going on?" "They weren't cops." "Then who were they?" "God, what do they want from me?" "What do they want from me?" "Is this yours?" "Where did you find it?" " It fell when you were on the phone." " I don't know how to thank you." "Lina!" "My brother." "Why were you shouting?" "I don't want to hear shouting." "Stop shouting." "Water." "I'm thirsty." " What happened?" " He wanted to get up and he fell." "ArtificialParadises Opium and Hashish" "Who is he?" " Were you shouting at him?" " No, he's been so kind." "I lost my necklace and he brought it back." "It's the only reminder we've left of our poor mother." "Right?" "Shut up, and don't talk about our mother." "Let me sleep, go away!" "Leave him be, he just needs to rest." " Did you know those men?" " One of them, by sight." " Were they with the police?" " I wouldn't say so." "Why did they say that?" "Do you know them?" "Tell your brother to change company." "Tell me about it." "You've seen the state he's in." "It isn't the first time." "I don't know where he goes, or who with..." "He's tearing me apart." "I can never find the strength to leave." "Besides, he needs me too much, and maybe I need him." "I don't know, but I'm sure I..." "I can't go on!" "I can't go on!" "You've got a pretty face, it's a shame to ruin it crying." "Who are you?" "That's a long story." "Or too brief." "I'm me." "Thank you again." "Let me know if they come back." "The landlady knows me." "I owe her as well." "Goodnight." "YoungDegenerate Responsible for the Murder" "Maria Velleti's Killer Arrested" " Poor Maria." " Forget about her." "But she loved you." "In her own way." " She underestimated me." " Is that a suggestion?" "Suggestions aren't worth a dime, interpret it how you like." "Yes, let them in." "Why don't you have a look downstairs?" "I get it." " I have to go." " Also." " It doesn't leave marks?" " No." "But I wish it did in there." " You think I can take Maria's place?" " Seems you already have." " With you I mean." " We'll see, Irene." " All done, boss." " Good." "Keep pumping him with drugs, so he doesn't talk..." " If he dies it's better for us." " I'll take care of it." "I've got lots of friends on the inside." "As for the drugs, speak to Irene... and don't lose anything on the way, remember Giacomo." "Don't tell us." "I can still see him." "And our little gift?" "We've been working overtime." " This stays between us, right?" " Can't you give us a little more?" " For someone who saw us." " Who?" "Where?" "Nothing serious, besides it's better for him if he keeps his mouth shut." " Dangerous." " That depends on..." " I believe he had a sister." " Yes." " What does she do?" " She'll come round eventually." "It's not true!" "My brother couldn't have done something like that." "What is it?" " Here, sir." "Archive it." "Listen, my girl." "These speak clearly." "And this speaks even clearer." "Your brother's handkerchief with that poor girl's blood on it." " Well?" " He's innocent!" "Okay, he's innocent." "Easy for you to say, hard for me to believe." "He's innocent!" "Listen, please." "Perhaps your brother had some accomplices..." "Perhaps the same ones who called us." "It's not uncommon amongst certain people." "You have to ask yourself, who are they?" "And where are they?" "But I don't know!" "My brother's life is a mystery to me as well." "I told you about those men who were with him, but you won't believe me." "Not that again." "It's not that I don't want to believe you, I can't believe you." "I'm here to help you but you have to help me as well." "Try to calm down and see if you can remember something." "A detail that can put me on the right path." "If I brought you the man who knew those two men?" "I'd kiss you on the forehead." "Ah, fine.." "Let me go and I'll bring him here right now." "Let you go?" "You can go wherever you want." "Talk to whoever you want." "But you've got to bring me something concrete." "God help the both of us." "Hello, Dibiase?" "No, Dibiase..." "Listen, follow that woman who just left, the blonde." "No, don't intervene unless absolutely necessary." "I want to know where she goes and who she meets." "Do you know Spider?" " Do you know him?" " No." " Sure you do." " Then I know him." "I met him yesterday, he was eating steak with an American." "He came up to me and he said, you still friends?" "You and me, of course." "Sure we are!" "And he said..." " Send him my regards." " Nothing else?" "Yes!" "He said, tell him I haven't seen him for a while." "If you say you hardly know him then you haven't seen him for ages." "What do you want?" "Who gave it to you?" "Nobody, I earnt it." "I sold..." "No, I bought..." "I did a deal!" "Who gave it to you?" "Spider, the one you say you don't know." " But you do know him, like I said." " Why did he give it to you?" "To give to you, but I knew you wouldn't take it so I kept it." "I'd have given it to you a bit at a time." "I took the 7000 lira you owe me, and I took something for the rent." "Why did he give it to you?" "He said you were at some girl's place, that he punched you." " Him?" " That's what he said." "He said it was for your medical expenses." "But you don't need anything, perhaps he was joking." "Perhaps." " Did I do well to take it?" " Very well." "Now split it in eight parts and you know who to give it to." "You're full of debts, you're always broke..." "A chance like this comes along and you give it to charity." " When will you think of yourself?" " Not with their money." "Money doesn't belong to anyone, my grandpa said..." " Do as I said." " I always have to do what you say." "You never do what I say." "What does it taste like?" " That isn't funny." " Does it taste of oil?" " It tastes like cough sweets." " Codeine?" " It it poisonous?" " Yes, opium." "Opium." "Why didn't you say?" " It won't kill me?" " No, not straight away." "First you vomit, then your head spins, then you start dreaming." "It's no time to dream in times like these." "These are the times people want to dream more." "I can feel something." "Are you already dead?" "Almost." " Is this number 15?" " What?" " 15." "Yes, it's here the first door on the right." "Mind the steps." "She's a knockout!" "This is too good to be true!" "Shut that door!" "She's looking for you." "Mind the steps." "They arrested my brother and me as well." "They let me go, but not him." "Shut the door!" "We've got to find those men who came to my place last night." " First of all, calm down." " How can I?" "They barged in and started pushing us around, treating us like criminals." "Do as I ask, come with me to the police station." " My testimony is worthless." " Why?" "Because..." "Don't look at me like that." "There are two guys outside, I'm going to have a look." " Did someone follow you?" " I don't know." " They're coming here." " A trap!" "Start walking." "Hurry." "Don't be afraid, we're organised here." "Coming!" " I was putting my socks on." " Police." "Come here." "Make yourself at home." "Have a seat." " Who's here?" " Me." " And?" " And you." " Where are they?" " Hands off!" " What do the police want with me?" " I swear I don't know anything." "I don't know anything." "Wait here." " They left together just now." " Where?" " Through the courtyard." " Come with us." "What have I got to do with it?" "I'm just a pickpocket!" "I'm a gentleman!" " More walking, less blather!" "What have you done?" "Why did they arrest your brother?" "They say he killed a woman, they found her jewellery in our room." "But my brother's innocent!" " Lower your voice." " He's innocent, I swear." "You can get back on to the street from here." " You refuse to go to the police?" " Yes." "You here to remove your handcuffs again?" " Will this do?" " Better than nothing." " The blonde?" " Mind your own business." " Fine!" "See who you've turned to?" "Handcuffs, I've been there before." "Because I like to deliver justice, but my way, and without a lawyer." "Besides..." "Besides, nothing." "You know who I am now." "Help me." " What do you want?" " I'm asking you to help an innocent." "You're more innocent than him, that's the only reason I'll help you." "But my way, got it?" "My way." "See you tomorrow." "Tell the others, okay?" "You're not blind?" "You really expect me to be blind with the money you give me?" "Charity, a poor blind man!" "Tomorrow, the usual place." "Tomorrow, the usual place." "Don't be late." "Just go ahead and say it, you know we're here for you." "This is what it's about..." "Wait for me!" "Don't forget about me." " It's Antonio, the blind man." " I heard you were inside." "Inside?" "You're kidding, I'm like a mouse." " Mouse!" " Whale!" "Go on!" "Listen, you know that guy they call the spider, because he looks like a spider?" " I saw him a week ago." " Three days ago, didn't say a word." " Things must be going well for him." " I always see him with Pippo." "That guy who sells dust at night." "I want to know who he works with, who for..." " and where I can find him." " Has he done something?" "No, nothing." "I need to talk to him, and soon." "She won't go home." "Wait here." "Cherchez la femme!" "Shut up!" "She almost got us arrested!" " They had to run from the cops." " Is it serious?" " Is it something serious?" " How do I know?" "She started crying and you know what he's like when someone starts crying." "Don't come looking for me." "If I hear anything, I'll let you know." "Now go home." "The tram stops just up there." "Tell me, why did your brother take drugs?" " What?" " You didn't know?" " No." "I suspected when I saw him, now I have proof, that stuff is bad." "But Corrado can't have killed her, not that." "Where are you from?" "Where's your family?" "He's all I've got left, my mother had a house in Cremona." "Corrado studied, second year of medicine." "Then the war, my mother was left alone at home." "We came to Rome to find our relatives, we didn't find any." "I wanted Corrado to graduate at least, he started studying but then he slowly changed, to the state he's in now." "And I stood by him, never having the strength to leave." "Wait." "You didn't tell me your name." " Lina Vidonis." " Don't cry, Lina." "I promise you'll never cry again, and I keep my promises." "Thank you." "Listen, I don't believe a word of it!" " But sir.." " What sir?" "If you're going to go looking for help in the criminal underworld..." "Do what you want, but I haven't got time to waste." "It's done." "Read it." " He was still under the influence when he confessed." " Yes." " And it's valid?" " The doctor says yes." " Some injections and he talked." " Who talked?" "Your brother." "He was smarter than you." "It's all clear now." "No dark conspiracy, no accomplice, he did it all alone." " It's the fashion nowadays." " No, it's not true!" "I want to speak to him!" "I want to speak to him now!" "Come on, calm down." " She wants to see her brother." " The regulations." "But the investigation's practically over." " Come on." " If you want." "If anyone asks for me, I'll be right back." "Call an ambulance and have him transferred to the prison infirmary." " Who's she?" " His sister." "I feel sorry for her." "I won't abandon you, I'll sell the necklace and what little we have left." "I'll find a lawyer." "We'll prove your innocence." "Because you are innocent, right?" "Look at me, Corrado." "It's true, you're innocent, you can't fool me." "Then what did you confess?" "Leave me alone." "Nothing matters anymore." " It's over for me." " And me?" "The doctor said I've got three months left, and then..." "So don't sell anything." "Do as I say." "I'm a coward, I should have ended it sooner." "But I didn't have the courage." "Now it's much easier." "I've got friends who'll help me." " They help me, I help them." " What friends?" " A favour." " Tell me." "In my room, near the bed, there's a book with a dedication..." " Tear out that page and burn it." " Let's go." "Yes, I'm coming." "Why do I have to burn that page?" " If you don't want to do it..." " I don't understand." "Farewell." "I'll be back." "Forgive me for everything I've done to you." "I told you, it will all be over in three months." "I'll save you." "Don't give up." "Let's go." "Let's go, this isn't in the regulations." "Let's go." "Dear Corrado, this is where the gates to the garden of enchantment open" "Ihavefriendswho 'llhelpme." "Theyhelpme ,Ihelpthem ." "Ihavefriendswho 'llhelpme." "Theyhelpme ,Ihelpthem ." "Dear Corrado, I'll see you tomorrow at the usual time." "The Maestro." "Theyhelpme ,Ihelpthem ." "Theyhelpme ,Ihelpthem ." "Theyhelpme ,Ihelpthem ." "No, I'm sorry, you're mistaken, there's no enchanted garden here." " This is villa De Rossi, it must be a prank." " But the book..." "It says it here." "May I?" "It's in your interests." "Come in, hurry." "Why didn't you say so?" "Next time, let me know when we've got a new client." "What?" "You don't know anything either?" "But the password was correct." " Come in." " I'd like to talk to..." " Please." " But..." " Have a seat." "Hello?" "No, I didn't know anything." "Why did you let her in?" "Fool!" "It's you!" "I've been expecting you!" "Are you okay?" "Let go of me!" "Don't go!" "It's no time for that now, show her in and wait for me." "Help me take him up." "I want to see her again." "Where is she?" "Isn't anyone here?" " Who are you?" " Are you the Maestro?" "There are no maestros in this pathetic world." "A man fell down the stairs, he must be very badly hurt." "Since the angel fell into darkness all men seem to do is fall." " Fall." " Yes.." " Wait." "You're confusing me with someone else." "No, I'm not confusing you with anyone else." "You're the perfect image of my poor wife." "I've looked for her in my dreams for years." "You remind me of the happiness I thought I'd lost." "Elena!" "Her name was Elena." "Beautiful!" "Like you!" " Let me go!" " No, Elena!" "She's just passed out." "Stop behaving like a child." "Just calm down." "Calm down." "Who is she?" "Bring him another hit." "Hurry!" "Give me something to smoke!" "Take her to my office." "We can't talk here, let's find somewhere quiet." "We're on our honeymoon!" "Let's go to Villa Rosa." "Villa Rosa, got it!" "Waiter, the bill!" "My car's losing oil, I need to see a mechanic." "It's not true, it's an excuse to leave us all here." "You want to see Mary, don't lie." " Don't push me." " I'm coming with you." "No, I won't be long." "Wait here for me." "No, dear, I'm not leaving you at all." "Piero, listen!" "That's her." "Some flowers?" "Drive." " Not now." " But they're so fresh!" " Let me by." " So fresh!" "Drive." "Piero, do you have any change?" " I don't understand." " My money?" "Leave me alone." " Bye." " Night, Tick-Tock." " Turn right." " Yes." " Let's talk about this." " Yes, we've got a lot to talk about." "But where I say." "Left now." "And don't drive too fast, follow the tram tracks." " It must be a prank." " They say he got in the car." " Let's go to the garage." " No, the oil leads the opposite way." "You come with me." " Take a taxi home." " I want to come as well." "You're kidding, go home." "Go away!" "I'm doing okay for myself, I have a cheque book." "Another left, then keep going straight." "If you don't trust a cheque, I've got cash." "I might even make 25." "Pull over, we've arrived." "Get out." "Get out!" "What do you want from me?" "I've got half a mind to drown you in that black water." "Scared men make me sick." "but someone else will make sure you don't die of old age." "If it's about that night I swear I didn't hold a grudge." "No, I want you to tell me a nice story." "Your story, and the ones who are paying you." " Start talking." " No, I won't talk." "You'll talk right now or you won't talk for a while." "Listen, it's for your own good, these people would crush you like a fly." " Who are they?" "Talk!" " No, I won't talk." "You'll tell me everything." "There's the car." "Over there." "Careful, this doesn't look right." " Help!" " Don't waste your breath." "Save it for what you have to tell me." "Okay, I'll talk, but let me get my breath." "Well?" "Who's in charge?" "They call him the Maestro because he's..." "Don't shoot!" " Leave him!" " Get up." "One false move I'll empty this gun in your back." "Don't shoot!" "Watch him." "We've got to take him out at the right time." " Three against one, think about it." " I'm thinking." " Let's end this." " Don't shoot." "You hear them?" "We'd better take him out or we'll jeopardize everything." "Don't shoot!" " Poor Piero." " It was his turn." "Listen, I'll meet you at the villa." "It's no use." " If you'd talked earlier." " No, don't go." "Give me your hand." "We used to be friends." "Take my advice, leave those people alone." " They're stronger than you." " I made a promise, I can't stop now." "What are their names?" "Where are they hiding?" " I'm cold." " Talk!" "They're coming to take you away, you won't be cold anymore, talk!" " They call him the Maestro." " Where is he?" "Four kilometres from here, a road that leads into the fields." "A wooden gate." "I'm cold." "We used to be friends." "You're safe." "I need to hide." "I lived alone, I'll die alone." "It's fair." " What a waste." " He looks familiar." "He's dead, and the dead all look the same." "And they're heavy." "Go, now." "Why didn't you send her away?" "It's too late to throw her out now, what do you want from her?" "Go." "Hold on." "Take these." "And take the others if she hasn't finished them." "She can't leave until we're sure about her." " We'll never be sure about her." " You think so?" "Well she's getting used to the drugs." "Two more days and she won't be able to do without it, like everyone." "Then she'll be under our control, like her brother." "How are you feeling?" " Where am I?" " Your brother's friend's guest." "But why?" " Did you have a good rest?" " I haven't slept a wink." "I felt so sleepy, but all I've done is smoke." "I don't remember anything anymore." "Even now." "I want to leave." "Where are my clothes?" "Here." "How are you feeling?" "Your brother and I are good friends." " The Maestro!" " Yes." " Why am I here?" " Don't you remember?" "You had a turn, you fell, my butler brought you here." "You must be very tired." "I'm having frightening dreams." "I don't know if they're real, a nightmare, or a dream." "I saw a man." "He fell down the stairs." " It happened here." " No, nobody fell down any stairs." " The other one!" " Who?" "I want to leave right now." " When you want, but how do you feel?" " Nothing serious." "I feel a little light headed, but I'm hardly sick." "Many would like to feel like you, their worries disappearing..." "We'd all like to forget, to not think anymore... because almost everyone is unhappy." "We need to leave this world, in our imagination or our dreams." "Sure, that would be nice, but it's impossible." " A cigarette?" " No thanks, I've smoked enough." "Too much, besides your cigarettes taste so strange." "Yes?" "And do you like them?" "Now I remember, I remember everything." "I came here for Corrado, you know my brother?" "Sure, he's a dear friend." "And it's precisely because of our friendship that I let you stay." "Time to recover, you'll have whatever you need." "Will I be able to leave?" "Why do you ask?" " I was scared I was trapped here." " Really?" "Nobody's stopping you." "What are you doing?" "May I?" "I'll have the maid wash them." "Seeing as you want to leave." "Open up!" "Open!" "Okay, let's go." "Keep an eye on the guard." " Want a cigarette?" " No, I..." "Tell me, what's down there?" "I saw people there." "Yes, there's people there." "Who knows who they are?" "If I don't come back in two hours remember to make the call." " I don't know anything." " Yes, okay." "Larisa!" "Michele." "Silence!" "Why are you here?" "Why are you here?" "Why?" "Now I understand." "You were all in on it together." "You played the role of the saviour, but instead..." "Coward!" "Coward!" "Don't shout, you can't think straight with all the junk they've given you." "And I thought you were innocent." "What are you doing here?" "You want to end up like your brother?" "Him in prison, you a prostitute here." " Lowlife!" " Don't shout." "Nobody knows I'm here, and if they find me..." "I'm not a client, I came in without paying." "And I didn't use the door." "But.." "Oh, my God!" "Why won't they let me leave?" "Why are you here?" "I don't remember, I haven't been able to think straight for hours." "I thought they were my brother's friends." "I came in, but I felt very sick." "They gave me tea, lots of tea, but it had a strange taste." "Everything tastes strange here." "Even the cigarettes are sweet." "Don't smoke any more, don't drink anything they give you." "I want to leave!" "I want to leave this place, it's like a prison!" "The door's locked." "The window doesn't open, and I don't know why they're keeping me here!" "You still don't get it?" "They're scared you'll talk." " What is he doing here?" " I don't know." "You pack of fools!" "Hurry, call Alessandro." "They're well organised, no doubt about it." " My god." " Don't panic, it's pointless." "How could my brother have friends like them?" "They're as much your brother's friends as they are mine." "Got it?" "I didn't know you had visitors." "Neither did she, it was a surprise." "Very well, it's my pleasure." "But it's my house and I'd like to know who I have the honour..." "Right." "I wouldn't advise it, think of the lady..." "She might have an attack, and she's already so tired." "You're right." "Excuse me." " Let's go." " Don't leave me." "Excuse me." "One moment." "Let me convince her there's nothing to be afraid of." "That we'll negotiate like old friends." "Precisely, like old friends." "I bet he'd even offer me a cigarette if I asked, right?" "Why not?" "I prefer my own." "Yours are too sweet." "This is choice tobacco, but by me." "Amongst the ends." "Forget about me!" " Come on!" " Watch out!" "Good for nothings!" "One always surrenders to a beautiful woman." "Take him up." "I'll be right there." "I'm sorry, until now I've been kind to you." "Let's get this straight, I didn't invite you here, you came by yourself..." "So it isn't my fault I have to take precautions before I let you leave." " You're bandits!" " We all do what we can." "I suggest you behave." " A nap might help you relax." " Don't touch me!" "I've been waiting to do that, sorry if I kept you waiting." " Well?" " I've never seen him before." "He couldn't have come in through the gate, I was watching it." "Then you'll tell us." "Come on, talk, how did you get in?" " Do you really want to know?" " Talk!" " Simple, I found an open door." " Which one?" "I came in with the rubbish this time." "But there's no need to be polite, that's why I left my best suit at home." "You'd wise up if you knew what was going to happen to you." "You wouldn't be so calm if you knew what was in store for you either." " If you think you're scaring me." " I don't think, I know." "I can see the fear on your face." "You're shaking." "You're right, I'm shaking." "Shaking for the satisfaction I'll have soon." "And it doesn't matter if you hear it..." " I won't make a lot of noise." " Coward!" " And you?" "When you killed Spider, Piero, the best guy I ever knew." " You've been misinformed." " My information's good." "And you've confirmed it." "What?" " What do they want?" " They say.." "They're looking for someone who's hiding in the villa." " It must be the man in your office." " Idiot, there's no one here, got it?" "Tell them they've made a mistake." " Seems you don't like the surprise." " Hold on a second." " You reported me." " No, I'm no rat." "I just told them I was paying you a visit." "And, as they've been looking for me for a while..." "They can't wait to bring me in." "I bet they're looking forward to my return at the precinct." "Stall them, let them through when I ring the bell." "You had it all worked out, but it won't help you much..." "You've gained yourself half an hour, the time it takes to get rid of them." "Take him downstairs and keep him quiet." " Don't touch me!" " Shut up and march!" "Go down and clear the lounge, and tell everyone to keep quiet." "Don't mention the police." " What do I say?" " A visit, some troublemakers." "You as well, no matter what happens, keep calm." "Bring the girl up immediately." "No, it's just a precaution, but hurry." "He's a fine man, cordial, honest." "You don't find many bosses like him, you'll see." " As long as he hurries." " He was getting dressed." "He's a gentleman, he takes his time, he cares a lot about appearance." "If he knew I came to greet you in my work clothes..." "In fact, if he asks, tell him I was wearing my jacket." "That's him." "He's ready." "Let's go." "I'll show you the way." " Is anyone left?" " No." "Let's go." "Let go of me!" "Be quiet." "We got a tip off that an individual we've been looking for would be here." " You know anything?" " No, nothing at all." " Is he dangerous?" " Very!" "Then I'm glad you came." "Please, have a seat." "Then we'll search every corner of the house." "My wife, please don't say anything." "I wouldn't want to frighten her." "How are you, dear?" "Feeling better?" "Thank you, dear." "A little better." " These gentlemen...?" " Sorry, allow me to introduce you." "They're here to buy that old furniture in the attic." " Didn't I mention it?" " I don't remember." " My wife has a terrible memory." " And you're forever reminding me." " If you don't mind..." " Yes, sorry." "Excuse me, dear." "If they'd like some tea?" " No thanks, we're here to see..." " Yes, you're right." "They don't have much time." "Go ahead, I won't be long." "Shall we go?" "I believe you've seen everything here." "Yes, let's hurry." " Shall we look downstairs?" " Yes." "This way, please." "Help!" "Help!" "Idiot!" "Quiet, we'll discuss it later." " Tell them he attacked you." " We've got company." "Good, Domenico, you'll get the reward you deserve." "They're with the police, you shouted at just the right time." " How did you find him?" " I was attacked." "He came in through there, he jumped on me, so I..." "Help the gentlemen." "Do you want to question him upstairs?" " No, we'll take him away immediately." " No, this way." " You come with us." " Can't he come tomorrow?" " My wife, you understand." " It's in your interests he comes." " I'll vouch for him." " Okay." "Show them out, then come straight to my office." " Listen." " Where are we going?" "To a quiet little place that's very popular." "That will teach you to break into rich folks' homes." "They're vicious murderers." "He must be delirious." " Be quiet." " No, I won't!" "Another car." " Is it stopping?" " No, but it was close." "Enough, get out of here if you're nervous." " We'd better get out of here." " A foolish idea." "In a few hours this villa will be like all the others, a respectable abode." "Then the police can come all they want." " And the others?" " I said it has to be respectable." " So we have to go?" " Precisely." "Whatever he says." "Hold on." "You'll go when I say." "As long as there are people here we've got to be prepared for anything." "Wait downstairs, the slightest sound, call me." "And don't forget, stay calm at all times, got it?" " What if a client comes?" " No, no more clients." "Send the ones who are here away as soon as their fit enough." "For the rest, everything goes on as before." "You as well, move it, go down and do something." " You're not scared, are you?" " Scared?" "Of what?" "Everything, nothing, I don't know." " I've been thinking." " About what?" " The girl." " Curse her as well." " She brought us bad luck." " Women always bring me bad luck." "Not all of them." "Do you still intend to keep her here?" "No, but we need to get rid of her without complicating things further." " Do you have an idea?" " One, for a while." "What is it?" "Suicides are very popular these days, one more, one less." "You see that train over there?" "They're always there, day and night, by the sun and the moon... and when the train passes it howls." "Like someone who's about to have their head cut off." " You have quite an imagination." " When a woman's filled with rage." "Here we are, 12th November 1946." "Assault and vehicle theft on the via Cassia." " It was loaded with stolen sugar." " We'll take care of the blackmarket." " Perhaps." " And get your hands off there." "Let's continue." "22nd January 1947." "Armed assault, wounding Salvatore Amedeo." "You'd been looking for him for months, I had a score to settle with him." " And you settled it." " Three months in hospital." "Great." "We're not interested in your disputes." " I've given you a way to arrest him." " So I should thank you as well." "There's no need." "The important thing is that you search that villa." "We've done that, and we hit the jackpot..." " We caught you." " Right, and what was I doing here?" "How do I know?" "You're asking me?" "It's a den of crooks, they're dealing drugs." "They're the ones who killed Maria Velleti, Vidonis is innocent... and they've got his sister locked up in the villa." "How do you know all that?" "Because I haven't been sat at a desk reading bits of paper." " I went inside." " I'll throw you inside!" "Then you'll finally stop talking nonsense." "There's no time to lose, you must search that villa." "You really are stubborn!" "If I don't find anything I'll be a laughing stock." "The papers will have a field day at my expense." "You always get off on lack of evidence." "Right, great idea!" "But lack of evidence doesn't exist for me." "I need proof, that's why they're wealthy!" "Go back to your place, stand up straight, and call me Inspector." " Leave the wealthy ones to us." " Let's make a deal." " I don't make deals with people like you." " A favour." " What favour?" " I let myself get caught..." " No, we caught you." " But I told you where I was." " I don't know that." "Give me 24 hours and I'll bring you a gang of criminals... the likes of which you've never seen." "Do you really think I'm that stupid?" "Okay, agreed." "But if it isn't true, everything... everything you said..." "I'll throw you inside and the gang can come and play you the Traviata." " Who are you looking for?" " Mr..." " I didn't even tell you his name!" " No, there's nobody here." "Another 12 minutes." "It was a good idea, wasn't it?" "You took her necklace." "It was the only thing I liked about her." "What is it?" " There's no answer!" " God!" "Watch out!" " Watch her." " Get out!" "Come with me." "I've got a score to settle with you." " Where did you get that necklace?" " It's a dear reminder." "I know you stole it." "Where is she?" "Far away, and in a few minutes even further!" "Where?" "I'll give you five minutes." "Too many, I won't need that long." "Tell me!" "There's your answer." "Enjoy the show!" "You see those train tracks?" "Let go of me!" "My dear.." "Let's get out of here." " What's he doing here?" " Let's get back to the house." "That's for Piero who died because of you!" "We'd better split, the train's coming." " Where do we go?" " Up the stairs, where else?" "Easy, it's my first time here." "Doesn't look like the landlord's ever been here." "They like the chaos." "I heard something." "You mentioned the landlord, even the ghosts are waking up." "I'm waiting for a ghost to appear." "That's one fat ghost." "What do these crows want?" "Wait, this one's fatter than that one." " Check this out." " Are they embalmed?" " They're dead!" " Can't you see they're moving?" "They stink more than the dead." "Here come more of those crows!" "Is this place a factory?" "The police!" "I think we'd better get out of here." "Go eat some steak instead of smoking this junk." " Where is he?" " I know where he is." "Yes, I know them, I can get them when I want." "This way, hurry!" "We're in a real bind here." "It's like a mousetrap." "Do I have to explain everything?" " Calm down now." " What a nice reunion." "Inspector, we've been attacked, robbed, don't let them get away!" "I know them, but I see you don't." "Don't let anyone get away because this is an opium den!" "So you're the boss." "You were hoping you wouldn't see me again." "Well here's your identity card." "It's a small world." "And you?" "How are you?" "Maria, the holy." "You got yourself another wig." "The wolf's losing its fur." "Bring her in." "Look who's here." "They sent him back, he looks like a man." " Thanks." " How's the wound?" " It's better." "Come on, let's go somewhere else." " How everything's changed." " Yes, you're right, and we feel freer." " Floating away like a river." " Are you thinking of leaving?" "Right, but with you." "Subtitled by Monty Mole Lots of 2014"
