" Was he sleeping?" " No, I was playing rugby!" " I do not understand anything." " Of what?" "Of this American game that is playing." "You play 15 to 15, Catarella." "Doctor, so early in the morning there are 30 people!" " Catarina, why did you call me?" " There was a homicide." "It is a corpse female, female." "Where?" "It is located inside a portal, in Via Pintacuda, civic number 18." "Fazio went there." " Do one thing." " Call Fazio and tell him I'm coming." " To the order." "Come with me." "You have had the strength to take this car and get here, perhaps from where." "Then he went down, made four steps, and opened the gate and entered." "Did you have the keys?" "No, the gate closes badly for three days." "The administrator must change the lock." " Who found it?" " One Michele Tarantino." "In the morning she leaves at 6 to go to work." "Where is it?" "In her apartment, on the second floor, N ° 6." " I'm going to talk to you." " Yes." "Mr. Tarantino, this morning... when he saw the poor girl was still alive?" "No, she was dead." " Then what did you do?" " Nothing, I was scared." " And then what did he do?" " Then?" "After seeing what she did?" "What did he have to do, Commissar? I have never seen a dead Christian murdered, neither male nor female." "As my wife says:" ""I am a sensitive person."" "Specifically, after you saw what did you do?" " I returned home." " That." "My wife made me a camomile." " But it still did not work!" " I get it." " To us, who has called us?" " Mr. Aurelio Scammacca." " Live in front, arrived at that time." " Did he leave too?" " No, I was coming back." " Coming back?" "But what time was it?" " It is nocturnal vigilante." " I would come back after work!" " Of course." " I understood." "Listen, one last thing." "Did you know this girl?" " Who?" "To the poor girl who has found..." "I have never seen it!" "I did not live here." ""Mr. Scammacca, why did you and not Mr. Tarantino call us?"" "When I saw the corpse and the face of Tarantino..." "I understood that I was the only one who could do anything." "I returned home, I called them and then closed the door half... so that the dead was not seen from the street." "Then I stayed to wait..." " the police." " You did well." "Have you ever seen this girl?" " No." " I did not live here." " What do you know?" "He has never seen it!" " I have seen her." "I heard Aurelio say on the phone and went down to see her." "Not only did I not live here, I never found her." "Surely it came at night, when all sleep." "According to you who came to see?" "In my life I have never been a spy." " How many floors does this building have?" " Six, four apartments per floor." " But some are unoccupied." " I get it." " Are apartments rented to singles?" " Only one." " Mr. Guarnotta, on the fourth floor." " And two apartments... rented to two "young", one is called Gioeli and the other Persico." "If you allow me, I would go talk to these two women." " Why should I?" " No one can put his hand in the fire... that a woman is a woman and a man is a man... when it comes to bed things." "Did I explain myself?" "Commissioner, I asked the colleagues of the Scientist." "You did well, could serve us." "I want to talk to two girls living in the building." " One such Gioeli." " Albertine?" " Yes." "The other is Graziella Persico by chance?" "Yes." "Do you know what to do?" " Yes, I have called them at the police station." " All right." "I want to talk to such a Guarnotta, who lives there too." "Have you also summoned him? No, but they told me that works on Rete Libera." " Let's see it." " Yes." " Irene, good day! "Good morning, Commissar."" "Is Nicolò?" "No, Dr. Zito is in bed with an ugly flu." "Then I ask you, Davide Guarnotta, you work here on Rete Libera?" "Yes, it is an operator, helps us when there is a lot of work." " Irene, I'm here" " Come." "Here it is, he is Davide Guarnotta." "Good morning, I am Commissioner Montalbano. "He's Inspector Fazio."" " Did something happen? "Did you know this girl?"" "No." "Why?" "Because dying crawled... to the patio of the building where you live." "He died there, we found it this morning." "I did not know anything." "Are you this morning at what time?" "I did not sleep at home, I spent all night outside." "I have come directly here to the editorial office." "Have you slept outside?" "No, I could not sleep, I took a walk." "I understood." "So he's never seen her." "Commissioner, this girl I have never seen her." "How long have you worked here in Rete Libera?" "Not long ago." "I mainly deal party video." "Ceremonies, weddings, baptisms." "I have a fixed-term contract." "Okay, that's all for the moment." "Try to be available..." " because we may still need you." " Knows where to find me." " Goodbye." " Bye." "Chau, Irene, we're leaving!" " Farewell, commissary." " Thank you." "Come on!" " Commissioner, I can?" " Come." "Have you discovered something about the girl's car?" "It is in the name of Ottorino Carnemolla who is hospitalized... in a nursing home." "He is 96 years old in wheelchair and does not know that he has a car in his name." "Someone stole your identity." " Yes." " Mafia?" "The girl surely was part of something unclean." " The scientist what does it say?" " Nothing, there are no tracks recorded." "I understand." "There are two girls living in the building." " Enter the first one." " Yes." " Miss Gioeli!" "Please." " Thank you." " Good morning." "Commissioner Montalbano." " A pleasure." " I am Albertina Gioeli." " Sit down." " Thank you." "The fact come because..." "I must tell you one thing." "I can not help it." "I have not asked you anything yet." "Since last night I have not put my feet in that building." "How did you know everything...?" "This morning Mrs. Mrs. Scammacca called me and told me everything." " And what have you done?" " I immediately called Don Celestino... to bless the ladder, the entrance and all the rest." "Speaking of course, if it is not blessed and purified there I do not put the feet!" "Listen to..." "Have you ever seen this girl?" "Who is this?" " Is it the one that died in our building?" " Yes." " Did you never see it?" " No." " Are you sure?" "Look at her well." " Never!" "But I can tell you who killed her." "If you have never seen it, how can you tell us who killed it?" "The devil was!" "The devil that is in our building." "There are too many men who love women... adulterous women and old people who live in sin." "It's okay..." "We're done, right?" " Well, curator." " Thank you." "I think about making a collection... to make four masses sung for the soul of this unfortunate..." " they have killed." " I think a high thought." "And you happen to want to contribute?" " What do we want to contribute, Fazio?" " Yes, but I now..." "I also contribute for you." "Here you are. "Thank you, Commissioner."" " To you." " Bye." "Fazio, accompany the young lady." " Yes." "Miss Persico!" "Please." " Good morning." " Good day!" " I am Commissioner Montalbano." " Graziella Persico." " Sit down." "Did you know that in his building was found the corpse of a girl?" "Yes, but I have not been able to see it because I have not spent the night at home." "This morning I went directly to the office." "Has anyone in this building slept yes or no?" "Anyway, have you seen this girl?" "No." "Sorry, I have not seen her in my life." "Where did you spend the night? "I'd rather not tell her."" "Excuse me..." "Lady or Miss?" "Miss." "Miss, you must answer to my questions." " I have not done anything wrong." " I do not question it." "But nevertheless you must answer to my questions." "What did you do last night?" "Why did not you sleep at home?" "I... work as a secretary... in the office of the notary Arlotta for six years." "But only recently did I..." " Yes, well..." " Has a relationship with your employer." "Yes, but I'm older I do not have a boyfriend." "I am free, therefore, if I and Peppiniello see us..." "Ma'am, it's her stuff if she meets Peppiniello." "But I must know for a reason of investigation..." "Where has the night gone." "We have finished, thank you very much." "Do not worry, what you said will be here inside." "Thank you." "Commissar, I believe that the notary Arlotta is very unhappy." "Yes?" "Your wife has never done it feel a man." "= Fazio, are things that happen." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "What a day, Commissar!" " You must see that man there in the background." " Thank you." "Do it!" "Show these photos to the building." "I do not think it's useful but..." "I hope Pasquano can tell us something after the autopsy." " Yes." " Let's try." " Good morning, doctor." " Hello, Catarella." "Fazio, give me a photo, any one." "See if it corresponds to any complaint disappearance." "Immediately." " Hello?" " Except..." " Livia!" " I managed to take one day." " What a beautiful news!" "I was going to see you the day after tomorrow." "How beautiful!" "It's ok I wait for you." " Are you working hard?" " There is a very strange case." "We have found a murdered girl." " Why strange?" " There are so many inconsistencies." "This girl was dying, and got into the car." "Found strength to drive..." "Then he stopped in front of a gate, entered and there died." "Poor thing!" "If I get in the car and drive why you have not gone to the ER?" "I thought so too." "Why did you stop at that gate?" "Maybe there she knew she could find help." "I thought about it." "But nobody in the building knew her." " Someone lies." "He stopped because he could not take it anymore." " What do you mean?" "You do not know how long you've driven." " Clear." "It's strange, it's a strange case." " Keep me informed, let me know." " Bye." "Chau..." "Do you speak French?" "Now we think about it." " Do not worry." " Good day." "Good morning!" "Excuse me, ma'am." "Doctor, he asked me to check... if among the missing girls was the girl who died in Via..." " In Via Pintacuda." " There is no similarity with the poor." " Thank you, Catarella." " In the building of Via Pintacuda..." "Everyone says that the murdered girl is a stranger." " Only one lady has seen it." " Who?" "Adele Manfredonia, is 86 years old." "Lives on the third floor with the paralyzed husband." " What did he say?" " Me nothing." " He just wants to talk to you." " Come on." "Do you understand? "The lady speaks French!"" " Good morning, I am Commissioner Montalbano." " A pleasure." "Does not understand you." "Precisely, doctor!" "He says: "I bought bread!"" "I buy the bread and make the cheese!" "Call Agent Marini who speaks French." "So understand it!" "If they will not be until tomorrow night." "Right now doctor." "I always follow it when it is seen on television." "Thank you, ma'am." "You told Inspector Fazio that you had seen the poor dead girl." "Commissioner, do not listen to my wife." "because already..." "I am not senile, Vito." "It is true that I am 80 years old, but I understand and remember everything." "I am very well and I enjoy of Commissioner Montalbano." "Thank you." "Lady, is this the girl you've seen?" "Yes, it was a night in February." "The hour I do not remember, but it was during the Festival of Sanremo." "I remember it well because the modern songs I do not like." "What did you see?" "I opened the door to look for Pierino, my cat." "Sometimes that rascal escapes. "The girl was going upstairs." " Did he go to the fourth floor?" " I think if." " Or maybe I should go until the fifth." " Clear." " Are you sure it was her?" " Yes, my eyesight is perfect." "If you want I can read the titles... of a newspaper five steps away." "How did you see his face?" "When I made a noise by opening the door, the poor girl turned around and smiled at me." "If I think about the end it had!" "Madam, we are finished." "Anything, I'm looking for it again." "Anytime, Commissar. "That one is always here, and never dies!"" " Good morning, doctor!" " Good day." "I came to know something about the dead girl in Via Pintacuda." " Or do you want me to ask the question on paper?" " This time I do not feel like joking." "Sit down." "I was very young, I think that was not more than 20 years." "The body well taken care of." "For a dental operation..." "I can assume that it was a young arrival from the east." "Please, Montalbano, the rest read it in the minutes..." "I sent him to the office." " The cause of death was the stabbing?" " No." "He died of internal bleeding." "Montalbano, in so many years that I do this work..." "I have never seen... such brutal violence." "Find these bastards, Montalbano." "Find them." "Do not worry, doctor." "I will find them." "= Fazio, I tell you as I think, how things have happened." "It is possible that whoever slaughtered the girl believed that she was dead and left." "Maybe she thought of coming back later to get rid of the corpse... but the girl managed to escape and went to die in the building of Via Pintacuda." "I can not think." "What could this poor girl have done to be massacred like this?" "I think it's a punishment." "Also in Vigata there are many young foreign girls... that are brought here for prostitution." "Protectors are ferocious with whom is wrong." "The fact that they raped in group is significant." " And now what do we do?" " All this meat trade... not possible without the consent of the Mafia." "Discover the family that is in this business." "I do it right now." " Hello!" " Hello." " How are you?" " Very good." " Not bad, thank you." " I introduce you to Maria Sìmonova." "A pleasure, I am the commissary Montalbano." " A pleasure." " Come in." "Go, I make a coffee." " Miss "Simonòva"." " I do not know." " Yes, of course." "It looks a lot like the dead girl in Via Pintacuda." "Yes, I have been told." "Customers want us together... because it seems to them to make love with two twins." " It is a common fantasy among men." " You knew the victim." "I have also seen her, but Maria knew her well." "Her name was Vera, she was Ukrainian, maybe that was not her real name." "Also I work on the call with another name." " Where have they met?" " In Dobermann." " Where?" " A disco a little distant from here." " Do you also attend it?" " Yes, there is an interior salon... private, it works as an exclusive club." " A dating house." " It is not a real brothel." "There I met Maria." " Swapping is practiced." " What?" "The exchange of couples, sex, let's say free." "I understand." "But you and your friend did not go there to have free sex." "No, we made pay." "We are not the only ones, but I only do it there." "On the other hand my friend did it too in the street, she had a protector." " I do not." " Remember the name of the protector?" "No." "No, I have never seen it." "Vera and I although we worked together in Dobermann..." "We were not real friends." "I know they are Slavs, but I do not know their names." "I understand." "You never went to the building..." "Where was her friend dead found in Via Pintacuda?" " How do you know?" " A lady who lives in the building... says he has seen the dead girl go up and down the stairs." " Because they look alike..." " I was Davide Guarnotta's lover." "We have been out for several months." "I met him at Dobermann and he was very kind." "I pay for a drink." " They went to his house." " No, not tonight." "= We stayed, we did everything in Dobermann." "Afterwards, did he go to his house?" "Sure, it was followed, I was sleeping there." "Remember if you went to see him one night in early February?" "I would not rule it out." "The girl was raped many times." "And surely for more people." "Your captors have raged on your body with kicks and blows." "The body shows signs of unprecedented violence." "Contusions everywhere, bruises, broken bones." "Did the girl know someone in Via Pintacuda?" "None of the tenants questioned admitted to know her." "But going to that gate is a precise choice." "It was no accident." "What do you think is the reason, commissary?" "A tragic, rather, degenerate display of power." "Stop!" "Shit Except, this is not an interview... is a horror movie." " I want to let out the horror." " And this conclusion!" "A tragic display of power." "Incomprehensible!" "Degenerate." "It will be incomprehensible to you, but there will be someone who understands." "I also move in the field of assumptions." "But among us I believe it is a subject of exploitation of prostitution." "Maybe she has rebelled and wanted to teach him a lesson... to show what they are capable of." "Thank you." "Leonard Attard." "Please, Except Montalbano." " Catarella!" " Yes doctor." " The phone!" " Who?" " I do not know." "Its ringing!" " Sorry." "= Fazio, do you know a lord who calls himself Attard?" " No, commissary." " It is a dark dress, with a hat." "Every morning, take a walk to the edge of the sea in front of my house." " Back and forth." " Have you molested him?" "No, if I had bothered I would have managed to handle it myself!" " Out of curiosity..." "I asked." " Do not know him." "Should I meet him?" "I get busy." "We will make a polemic, was like this, if you knew it or not." " I do not know him." " You have news?" " Yes." " Come with me." "Then?" "Prostitution control have two Slavs... that should account for the Cuffaro." "Are the Cuffaro also owners of Dobermann, the disco?" "Yes, but what does it have to do?" "It has because the dead girl was prostituted in the Dobermann." " Do you know him?" " No, I know it's a place to exchange." " Yes the "swapping" is practiced." " It could be that too, yes." "The "swapping" and exchange are the same thing." " In fact, he said..." " Right." " Is the drug sold inside?" " That's almost certain." "And who controls the drug here in Vigata?" "The Cuffaro." "How do you know that the murdered girl worked at Dobermann?" "Do you remember my Swedish friend." "who lives here in Vigata?" " Yes, Mrs. Sjostrom." " I got a Russian girl." "A certain Maria Sìmonova, also she is prostituted in Dobermann... and knew the dead girl." "He looks very much like you." "She was Guarnotta's mistress." "Maybe Mrs. Manfredonia... has seen her go to Guarnotta's and not the murdered girl." "I understand." "Remember it." "Then the girl who has seen the lady Manfredonia is the lover of Guarnotta..." "Not the young lady who was murdered." " We just said it." " Do we reshoot?" " It was just for..." " I go." " Go." "Not admissible." "that the Italian State... can admit and justify in its own legal system... marriage of two people of the same sex." " Micheletto." " Montalbano." "That has as its sole purpose procreation." "It's okay, sir, but it does not seem like to deny that right..." " Enzo, are you ready? "Very clever, Commissar."" " What is there to eat?" " I bring you fresh red shrimp." "Then a tuna tartar to suck the whiskers." "I want both with some other little thing, you think." "Is it ok for you?" " Yes of course." " Same." "I go to the point, because I know you do not like to be bothered while you eat." " I read the notes you sent me" " Yes." "But I do not understand what the drug has to do." " The way they killed the girl..." " I know it does not have to see." "I need to throw the drug inside to provoke the Cuffaro." "Why?" "I want to provoke them, I want to expose them." "I think back of the girl's homicide..." "There is a large worm like a house." " Do you have the invitation?" " No." "Then you can not enter." "Here without invitation you are not going anywhere." "Are you sure that you want to see the invitation?" "I "sure" that you understand the "Italian"." "I have the invitation!" "My friend, with the invitation, you can enter." " There is also a right to "consummation."" " Thank you." "Make as if you are in your house." " Where are you from?" " Montenegro." " Do you have anything against the Slavs?" " Absolutely!" "Go in peace." "You too!" "Who is that Slav type at the entrance?" "One Milko, but the last name I do not know." "It has to see also with prostitution I think." "I see it followed with the girls who have sex for money in the private." " How are you tonight?" " I'll see?" " Wait here." " Yes." " You do not dance?" " No." "Why are you alone?" " I look. "You know what a guy once said to me?" The world divides into two, is who looks and who does." "He wanted to look, but I like the one he does." " Then you did not like me." " I could make an exception." "Yes, maybe next time." " It's okay." "Good night!" " To you." "Micheletto, we have left." "Free route." " Fazio. "Yes, Commissioner."" "Do you remember when yesterday I spoke to you about that person..." " walking on the beach?" " Of course, it's called Attard, I think." "This morning I have not seen him." " Is it something serious?" " Do not." "But I want to know life and miracle of this person." "It's okay, I try." "Why are you interested in a person walking in peace on the beach?" " What bothers you? "Fazio, should I answer you?"" " No, I get into my things, I understood." " All right." "Bye!" "Who did you talk to?" "Am I correct?" "We have arrested three traffickers who sold all kinds of things... but the big blow we made it in the office of the director... one such La Riccia." "In the false ceiling we found... a lot of heroin, cocaine and several chemicals." " Was the director present?" " Yes, I was present at the registration." "There was also his bodyguard, one such Milko Stanic." "It is the goalkeeper and the protector... of prostitutes who work at Dobermann." " When do you hold the press conference?" " Tomorrow at one o .." "Commissar!" "I found something about Attard..." " the person who walks under his house." " So?" "He is a retired judge, He was an important judge." "What are you doing here?" "He was born in Vigata, until he was 8 years old lived here." "His father who was the Commander of Port Captaincy, was transferred..." "And he lived in the north." "Eight months ago when he returned to Vigata and old man... did not recognize anyone." "Here in town have acquaintances, friendships?" "No, nothing." "He early in the morning, gives his walk and then returns home." "For all you need is taken care of by the waitress." " Permission?" " Who?" " Good morning lady." " Good day." "I am the Commissioner Montalbano." " A pleasure." " The pleasure is mine." " Is the judge in the house?" " No, I'm sorry, it was Montelusa." "He left this morning, told me he will be late." "Late what does it mean?" "I do not know, I had to do in the Municipal Library." "Why do you ask me these questions about the judge?" "Do not worry." "We are neighbors, I live near here." " I did not know you live nearby." " Yes." "Can I offer you a coffee hail?" " Do you like it, Commissar?" " Also the cream is sugar free." " Then!" " Have you always worked with the judge?" "No." "He hired me eight months ago, when he bought this house." "After three days we were here, a truck arrived." " Sure, with the furniture. "What furniture, Commissar!"" "Do you know the furniture of Mr. judge?" "Come on, come on, I'll show you." "Come on." " Permission." " Please." "Bed, bedside table, wardrobe, what you saw there... the refrigerator in the kitchen and that's it." "It does not even have television!" "What did the truck do?" "Commissar, to bring the papers!" "These papers?" "For what the judge told me these are copies of the papers... of all the processes you have done." "There are also other rooms!" "Want to see?" "Come on." "Come on, I'll show you." "Look here." "Look!" "I separate from the kitchen I do not do anything else than sprinkle these papers... they are continually filled with dust!" "The judge with all these papers what does?" "Study them, commissary, day and night." " Are not these old processes? "Yes, old men."" "Then why do you study them?" "Do not ask me, you should ask him." "Good morning!" "Have a coffee?" "Please, sit down." "Sugar?" "One, thank you." "Are you dealing with a very difficult case, right?" "Yes." "A very rare homicide, a very young girl who was killed in a terrible way." "Yes, I have." "Thanks for the coffee, curator." "Good morning!" "We have arranged the closure of the Dobermann disco... for an indefinite time to be able to proceed... with research in all areas." "The disco is the terminal of a traffic of narcotic substances... we want to dismantle." "I leave the word to Dr. Micheletto... you can tell us something more about the operation." "Thank you." "I do not have much to say." "The investigation is born on the root of an investigation of the homicide... from a girl from east of Europe." "The research is handled by my colleague of Vigata, Dr. Montalbano." "I want to thank you publicly because if we get to these results... thanks also to your valuable suggestions." "What would be the valuable suggestions that you have given Micheletto?" "I told you to hit the Cuffaro in the drug trade... and to connect the operation with the homicide of the poor girl." "You want to make the Cuffaro angry." "So they understand that protecting the murderers of the girl has a hard time linking them... and maybe release them." " Why did Micheletto give your name?" "The reference of the dead girl was enough." "No." "Micheletto is master of fine work, understood... that the Cuffaro should give them an interlocutor." " Someone to talk to." " Do you want to talk to the mafia?" "Mimì, no, I want the girl's killers to give me." " We have no clue!" " I get it." "Please be careful, Except." " Good day, Except." "Can I bother you? "Come, come in."" " Hello, Nicolò." "What are you doing here?" " Hello." "Sit down." "This is Davide Guarnotta, disappeared." " Did not return to work?" " No." "No relatives in Vigata or anywhere else." " Are you worried?" " Yes." "The phone is always off and in the house does not respond." "I understand." "Now I talk to Fazio and see what can be done." "Thanks, Except." "I have the feeling that has gotten into something." "Now we look for it." " If it appears let me know." " Yeah right." "Now let's talk to Fazio." "Do it!" "Listen out." "Nicolò says that Davide Guarnotta did not return to work." "Does not answer the phone at home or cell phone." "Let's look for it." "Try to know as much about him as possible." "It's okay?" "Yes, right now." " Thank you, Salvo." " Thanks to you." "Chau, Nicolò." " I salute you, Mimì." " Chau, Except." "Doctor!" " Catarella, what happens? "Miss Livia called." "Saying that you say in person personally... that your plane where you travel has a delay of four hours." " Four hours?" " Yes." "Has he said any words to you?" "Four hour delay?" " Yes, very sure, I wrote it down." " Dammit!" " Thanks Catarella." " Please, doctor." " What's wrong?" " The Livia plane will arrive at 11!" " I told him we had dinner together." " So?" " I do not resist fasting until that time." " Get in the car and go to the airport." "What do I do at the airport four hours before?" "I did not say that you should go to the airport right away, I said go to the airport." "Pay attention that in km 15 you find a handwritten sign." "That says:" ""Of Filippo that eats well"." "It is a tavern, you enter, you eat a snack and then you go to the airport." "Do you eat well?" "I know you do not trust my taste in terms of eating... but something I have learned." "It's years you break my balls... that the parmigiano does not go on the clams..." "Do you want to put the parmigiano on the pasta with the clams?" "I liked it." "I do not do it anymore. "Eat the octopus, Luciana, trust."" " The octopus to Luciana?" " Yes, they are fantastic." " Okay, I try." " You do?" " Trust." " It's okay." " I'll let you know later." " It's okay." "Say hi to Livia." "Permission?" "Can you?" "Is anyone there?" " Good morning." " Good day." "It can be eaten?" " Sit down." " Thank you." " What do you want to eat?" " A friend told me... that here is eaten well the octopus to Luciana." "You have been told well." " I would like to try them." " Try or eat?" "Can you also add black Olives to Gaeta?" "Of course." "Let's also put Perlleria capers up." " Then I want to eat them." " No more!" " Served." " Thank you very much." "Everyone is quiet!" "We were looking for you." "If you want to pray, pray." "Be still, I do not want to be wrong." "My Jesus, give me relief for this cross that I carry." "In the last agony, I commend you my soul." "My Jesus, give me relief for this cross that I carry." "In the last agony, I commend you my soul." "Filippo!" "My Jesus, give me relief for this cross that I carry." "In the last agony, I commend you my soul." "Recover." "My Jesus, give me relief for this cross that I carry." "Filippo!" "The octopus burns!" "Come, let's see the octopuses." "This has never happened." "In so many years that I have come here there has never been a delay like this." "We have been given the "good sandwich" to apologize." " Have you eaten anything?" " No, I am not hungry." " What is it, Salvo?" " Nothing." " Do you want to tell me what happens?" " Nothing." "What do you want to happen?" "This is what makes me angry." "After all what we spent together... you still do not trust me." "Livia, can you explain, please?" "While I was looking for you at the airport I stopped at a tavern..." "Mimì had told me." " You're amazing!" " Why?" " You still tell me lies!" " Which lies?" "Should I believe that Mimì advises you restaurants?" "I have been shot, but I am still alive as you see." " Are you kidding?" " No." "Come on, I'll explain everything." "Come." "Filippo, the owner of the restaurant was shaking with fear." " I, too, but at least I was alive. "Why did not you tell me anything?"" "I did not want to scare you." " Except, I know what work you do." "I wonder why he has forgiven me." "He beat his partner, saved my life... and has endangered his." "Here you go back with an order of this type you are made to pay." "They enter the restaurant to kill me and one of the two reconsiders." "Why?" "Do you remember the story of "Androcles and the lion"?" "No." "But yes!" "Androcles was an African slave... that escapes the master who mistreated him." "Take refuge in a grotto in which a wounded lion arrives on a paw." "Hello, Except!" " Lord judge!" " Good day." "How is it going?" "How did your case end?" "Did you find the killer?" "Lord judge, for the first time in my life..." "I do not care who he was, why he did it." "It is such a bestial crime that I can not think..." " that it has committed a human being." " I have some years more than you... but I am sure that the human being is capable of any cruelty." "Sometimes I wonder why I chose this profession." "Because people like you and me have no choice." " Can I ask you a question?" " Please." "But I would not want to be misunderstood." "You in your career was always sure..." "Mathematically safe... that when you have arrested a person as guilty... was it really?" "I do not want an answer now, think about it." "Good morning and thank you." "Thank you." "According to you why the murderer would have forgiven you?" " Do you know Aulo Gellio? "Giuseppe, do you know him?"" " No." "Was a writer of the second century AD." "What does the writer of the second century have to do?" "Let me speak." "Who wrote the fable..." ""Androcles and the Lion"." "Do you know that fable?" "No." "I tell them." "Androcles was a Roman slave of Africa who had escaped from his master." "She went to hide in a grotto, then realized that there was a wounded lion." "He had a thorn in his paw." "Instead of fleeing Androcles approaches the lion... and pulls the thorn out of his paw." "The healed lion leaves the cave." "Years later Androcles meanwhile converted to Christianity." "The Romans arrest him and condemn him to die devoured by lions in the circus." "The great day arrives, the lions enter the circus." "The greatest of all jumps to Androcles... with open jaws ready to eat." "But suddenly he crouches at his feet and licks his hands." "It was the lion that had been healed by Androcles inside the grotto." "Obviously the Romans forgave Androcles as the murderer forgave me." "Then it is understood who the lion is." "Since last night I think... but I can not think of any name of murderers to whom I have saved your life." "Maybe instead of looking for a name, you need to find a last name." " What do you mean?" " I explain." "If they have tried to kill you..." "Maybe it's due to the research of the poor dead girl." "And then?" "Who suffered damages for the action of narcotics in the Dobermann?" "The Cuffaro." "To the lion one has to look for it among its employees." "Bravo, Mimì!" "Salvatore Niscemi, how I did not think it!" " Niscemi?" " Yes." " Works for the Cuffaro..." " but we have never arrested him." " The story with Niscemi is different." "It dates back a few years." "The first time we met was in Puente San Michele." "Fifteen minutes later, help came. "Was it Salvatore Niscemi?"" "Yes." "So if it's true that Niscemi has saved your life... means that behind the homicide of the girl are the Cuffaro." " Not behind, next." " What do you mean?" "The Cuffaro would have killed her they are not them." "They would not have allowed to grab the car and escape." "The Cuffaro are dancing and dancing want to protect someone important." "Because this time they have decided that to protect... this person was better kill a commissary." "It is a very delicate thing and so you have to shake the waters." " Commissioner, I can?" " Come." "Guarnotta seems to have disappeared into thin air." "Then?" "I have passed the photo to the Highway Patrol, to the Carabineros, to the TV." " Zito has said that he sends an appeal." " You did well." " Have you heard from Niscemi?" " Yes, he still works for the Cuffaro." "But he has a job of facade, as a pawn in... a construction." "The judge made him there." " But do not break your back." " I imagine." "Find the number of that construction." " Have you already done it?" " I..." "Give me that little piece of paper." " Hello?" " I am Doctor Paoletti of the Court." " Could you talk to Salvatore Niscemi?" " I'll pass it right away." " Thank you." " Hi, I'm Salvatore Niscemi." "Montalban I am, I must speak to you." "In an hour at the beach of Baia Vecchia, I have little time." "Do not worry, it will not be a long thing." "Bye." "Doctor, is Dr. Accardo on the phone." " Accardo?" " Yes." " Have you come with the violin?" " No, no violin is on the phone." " Attard, Judge Attard!" " I know it's late, but he called." " I could not tell it was late!" " Where is it?" " On the switchboard." "Judge Attard, good day, I am Commissioner Montalbano." "Forgive me if I bother you in the office." "My question this morning has been inopportune, I apologize." " Do not worry. "Can you come and see me tonight?"" "Yes of course." " Until the night." " I hope so." "It was Judge Attard." " What is your name?" " Accardo without... with the violin." "I do not know if..." "He called, not that he touched!" " Hello, Salvatore. "I have little time, Commissar."" "Nobody knows anything about what happened the other night." "Thank you." "Have you managed to explain to the Cuffaro how things were?" "Yes." "It seems that I have been believed." " Now we are at hand. "Yes, but you must tell me things."" " If I say something, I am a dead man." " Answer only "yes" or "no"." " Is it okay?" " It's okay." "The other day I should be left out for the Dobermann affair?" " Yes and no." " Then I reformulate the question." "Does the drug and Dobermann have to do with the death of the girl?" " No, commissary." " No." "Has the young woman been killed by the Cuffaro?" "No." " Are you sure? "Yes, Commissioner." I do not know who killed her!" "Who directs prostitutes for the Cuffaro?" "They are Slavs." " More of this I can not tell you." " It's okay." " Thank you, Salvatore." " Bye." "I'm sorry I can not return your hospitality." "My waitress when she finishes - the homework is returned to her house." "Do not worry." " I must say yes." " To what?" "To the question that he did to me this morning." "Of the people I arrested or had obviously arrested at my limits." "I am sure of your guilt." "Even if justice sometimes did not consider them such and has acquitted them." " Have you been upset?" "when did it happen?" " Not at all." "Why?" "I know that procedural truth travels on different parallel tracks... of those of the real truth." "Sometimes these routes lead to the same station and at other times not." "My problem is another, is the review." "Review of what?" "Of the processes realized in all my life." "I made the photocopies of all the procedural acts." "I made them take them to Vigata... because here I have found ideal conditions..." "To do my job, has cost me a patrimony, believe me." "If you are sure to have acted always according to your conscience..." "This is the real problem, the core of the issue." "You think you have judged..." "Sometimes, how to say, for convenience." "O on the driven of external pressures." "No, never." "Then?" "There are a few lines of Montaigne... that expose macroscopically the question." "There are few lines." ""From the same sheet"" ""on which he has formulated the sentence to an adulterer"" ""that same judge starts a bit"" ""to write a love note to the wife of a colleague."" "It is a macroscopic example, but it contains so much truth." "I explain myself better, Commissar." "How was I as a man... when it is my duty to pronounce a harsh sentence?" "I did not understand, sorry." "Commissioner, it is easy to understand." "I could always have different my private life... of law enforcement?" "I have always been able to do so that my moods, idiosyncrasies... family problems, my pains, my lack of joy... do not stain the white page... about which a sentence was to be formulated?" "Did I succeed or not?" "Mister judge, you are not doing reviewing your processes... you are doing reviewing your life." "Thank you for coming." "Good morning." "Here it is." " Hello!" " Hello." " We have visitors." " Visits?" "Ah!" "Hello, Mrs. Sjostrom." "How are you, Montalbano?" "Excuse me, if I came here to disturb your house." "Has done well." " I present to my..." " We do not introduce." "The lady wanted to talk to you about the murdered girl's case." "Good." " Tell me." " I went to the police station." " But Agent Catarella..." " Yes." "He told me that you had gone to his house." "I have asked for your address, I think it is urgent." "Has done well, if it is urgent..." "Tell me." "Mary has returned to her village, in Russia." "Before leaving you have told me something that could be important." "Remembered that it is not possible that that lady..." "I saw her at Guarnotta's house that night in early February." "Why?" "At that time Maria was not in Vigata." "I was not in Vigata." "I have also seen the girl killed in the Dobermann." "I was not alone, was with Davide Guarnotta." "I did not know it was him, but today I have seen this and I understood." " Are you sure it was them?" " Most assured." "Okay, thank you lady, has been very useful for research." " Goodbye." " Bye." "I accompany her." " Goodbye." " Bye." "Goodbye, ma'am." " When did you meet her?" " To whom?" " To her." "In the case of the murdered girl." "And where?" " Where what?" " Where did you meet her?" "At the police station! "He has come... he has told you."" " Are you sure?" " Why should I lie to you?" "She is a beautiful woman." " I thought it moved comfortable here." " I was quiet!" "She was sitting." "You heard her, went to the police station, Catarella sent her here and she has come." " If you want to call Catarella. "No, I want to believe you."" " Why?" " Thus!" "If I start to doubt..." "Exactly." "Commissar!" "How are you?" "What can I do for you?" "This morning I have not seen the judge..." "Do your usual morning walk along the beach." " I wondered Has something happened?" " Do not worry." " The judge is very good." " All right." "Only she has decided not to go out more from home and does not want to be bothered." " He does not want nuisances. "You do not want nuisances?"" "In fact he has said: "No I want remorse."" " Remorse. "What did he mean?"" "I do not know." "The important thing is that nothing serious happened." "No." " Thank you, ma'am." "Bye. "You're welcome, Commissar." Bye." "Doctor Attard, good day, I am the commissary Montalbano." "Good morning." "I am the neighbor of his father's house, Judge Attard." "Good." "I am happy that my father is making friends." "Truly it is not so, your father does not see anyone." "I call it for this." "Excuse me if I intrude." "Do you know that you spend time reading the roles of your old processes?" "Yes, but I did not think it was a concern." "I thought it was a way to have the brain alive." "No, doctor, it is not so." "I do not want to intrude... but if I were you would come here to Vigata... to see if your father needs..." "Maybe you just need to be with someone in the family." "You have children?" "Yes, two, a male and a female, the male is very attached to the grandfather." "Why do not you bring Vigata here with you?" "I am convinced that Mr. Judge would be very happy." "It's okay, curator, as soon as I can go visit Dad." "Now excuse me, but I must quit." "See you soon and thank you." "I greet you." "Is it serious?" "Want to review all the old processes... to understand which of these... has been made distracting from the events of his life." "What does it mean?" "I have made you come..." " Doctor, I beg your pardon." " What's wrong?" " You called one... that says that there is a corpse of sex male inside a sports car... in a quarry in Contrada Spinazza." "Must be here for a few days, the crime weapon is in sight." "They want to make believe that it is dead by overdose." "I play the balls... that if it is an overdose, the drug was injected by force." "Who knows why they killed him." " I think because I knew something... homicide of the girl found dead in his building." "Call Pasquano, the Scientist and the whole equestrian circus." "Also tell Zito, it is better that he knows for us." "Yes." "The door is open." "Is anyone there?" "Is anyone there?" " You know we got ahead of ourselves." " What if." " Is it strange?" " What thing?" "They have left the machines photographic..." "DVD reader, computer." "There are things for more than 5,000 euros." "These are not thieves, they are murderers." "Look, they took all the DVDs, they were looking for something." " Go and find out what." " See if they have found it." "Commissar!" "You could have chosen a place closer!" "How did you come to my house without warning me!" "I called you, but there was no one, that's why I went." "If I had known that you were..." " Livia." " You have kept the game well." "We looked like the cat and the fox!" "When you called me: "Mrs. Sjostrom" was about to explode!" "Me too." "I asked you to meet here because I want to tell you one thing." "Remember that you have told me that you have seen Guarnotta in the Dobermann." "On that occasion who was doing participated in "group sex"?" "No, private parties were exclusive." "Only those very rich or very powerful could participate." " Did he make the photos, his work?" " No, the video operator." "The video operator!" "Many of those who participated in those parties... loved to see each other while..." "The video operator of trust of those people there." "Yes." " Let's have a drink." " Yes." "When I saw the car and you inside sitting quietly... gave me an attack!" "What do I say now?" "Luckily before I saw the car, so I prepared." "Not for nothing." "How do you explain to him that we are friends?" " Commissar! "Good day, Judge."" "Good morning!" "I want to get him in, but the house is messy." "Do not worry." "Return tomorrow." "No, I was passing by..." "Is everything okay?" " Yes, everything is fine, thanks." " I am making progress... with the investigation about girl murdered." "Davide Guarnotta, a video operator... who lived in the same building where the girl was found dead... was found dead too." "Apparently due to an overdose. "He's the killer?"" "No, but surely knew who it was." "Is that what you're interested in, _ truth, Commissar?" "The why." " Yes." " Do not deviate from the facts." "Think the ferocity that we look for in the... others is often within us... and manifests in the most unthoughtful ways." "Do you forgive me, Commissar?" " I continue my work." " Yes." " Goodbye." " Bye." " What happens?" " I do not know." " Excuse me, the commander is inside?" " Yes." " Commander!" " Yes." " I am the Commissioner Montalbano." " Goodnight." " What happens?" " A tragedy." "The House got in fire... and by Judge Attard there was nothing to do." " That tells me?" "We try to get into the flames but the house is full of papers!" "I know, it was filled with papers." "In fact the fire has developed in an instant." "The judge was in the place in which the house has set on fire." " The causes of the fire?" " It's still too early." "It does not seem to be of an intentional origin." "Commissioner, excuse me..." "Please." "Have you done the research on economic conditions of Guarnotta?" "Yes, in addition to the 100,000 euros found inside the mattress... had some change in a checking account in the..." "Popolare de Montelusa where Zito paid the salary." "And there is the sports car where they found him dead." "That is worth more than 50,000 euros." "It's a lot of money!" "How did he join Guarnotta so much?" "Some idea I have." "What work did Guarnotta do?" "The cameraman." "We know that it also filmed orgies in the Dobermann." "Maybe it will have been done a private clientele... and will have filmed some amateur porn." "Why do you say this?" "In her house everything was in order only missing some DVDs." "I thought maybe Guarnotta has made that money... blackmailing someone who was present on that DVD." "Maybe on some of those DVDs that disappeared... there was something compromising for some big fish." "Bravo." "That's why Guarnotta has closed his mouth." "And that's why the DVDs have been taken." "We are making a hypothesis." "May be... that Guarnotta would not have... nothing would have happened... if the girl would not have been behind his trace..." "Going to die in his building." "Doctor Pasquano, what are you doing here?" "Please!" "Doctor, good day." " Sit down." " Good day." "I came to ask you if you believe in Santa Claus." " No, for a long time." " Bravo." "Then you should not even believe that David Guarnotta was a drug addict." "How can you be so sure?" "I have not found any other punctures besides that mortal." "And also because in the arms and the legs had bruises." "Sign that they had it tight while they applied the injection." "The scientist in the car did not find traces of the killers." "Obviously." "But I found something inside the body of Guarnotta... and precisely in their lungs." " And what did you find?" "Silicon dust." "Yes, silicon dust." "I remembered finding it also in the lungs of that poor girl... dead on the pontoon of Via Pintacuda." "Silicon dust?" " Do you know where you are?" " Do not." "In the stone quarries." "It means that poor girl and Guarnotta... have recently spent long time in a stone quarry." " That is all, I greet you." " Thank you Doctor." "Doctor Montalbano, Dr. Augello, farewell." " Dear Fazio." " Bye." "It is the first time that the doctor comes to see us." "It's gone bad... for what they did to that poor girl... and wants us to catch the killers." "An indication has given us." " The silicon dust?" " Yes." "It is crucial to know where Guarnotta and the girl were." "Are there active stone quarries here in Vigata?" "Active I do not think, but there are quarries in Contrada Paradiso." "There they have extracted so much stone." "Fazio, here are shows in summer?" "They did them." "It is now abandoned many years ago." "What is this?" "Do you have a pen?" "Thank you." " Mimì, call the Scientist. "You think it's blood?"" "I do not know, but better to have it examined." "Do you think this could be the place?" "Why could not it be?" "Are you waiting for the Scientist?" " I wait for her." " Come on." "Doctor, has called Mrs. Gabriella Presico." " I wanted to talk to you personally in person." " Graziella Persico." " Yes." " What did he want?" "If you can see it is located on the seafront, near the port." "Extremely." " Okay, thank you." "Please, doctor." " Good morning." " Good day." "Thank you for coming, commissary." "I have asked to see us here because it is a matter reserved." "Not if you worry." "Why did you want to see me?" "I did not know Davide Guarnotta well." "We were just neighbors from home." "When yesterday I knew that they had killed him..." "I've had a chill." " Why?" " For something that happened... the afternoon of the day we found that poor girl." "Be careful." " What is it?" " I do not know." "I was in a bigger package that Guarnotta sent me." "I found you in the mailbox one day after you interrogated me." "On a note Guarnotta asked me to give it to you if something happened to him." "When yesterday I knew that they had killed him..."
