"You did it on purpose!" "Keep your hands down!" "We have the right to a lawyer!" "Our lawyer!" "We have the right to a LAWYER!" "Calm down if you know What's best for you!" "Mario Boni's friends stand accused" "ARSENAL DISCOVERED at the murderer's den" "Good morning." "We'll proceed in order." "The witness, Mrs. Rita Zigai, who is here with us, claims that on the day of the crime, precisely on the 28th of March 1972, from 5 to 8 pm, and contrary to what you stated," "there was no meeting in which Mario Boni took part." "The witness also claims that Mario Boni arrived at her house at 7. 45 pm, stating that he was with Maria Grazia Martini until then, and that they had a violent dispute." "That's a lie!" "there was a meeting at Francesco's, from 5 to 8 pm, and Mario was there!" "It's true!" "Tell them the truth!" "We thought you were a spy, but you're also an agitator!" "Excuse me, but I think they're insulting an honest citizen." "Be careful or I'll hold you in contempt." "Please continue." "I'm neither a spy nor an agitator!" "Just because I'm an honest citizen, I'm confirming what I already said." "Vitaliano Fabrini phoned me on the 28th of March 1972, at 10. 30 am, and told me word for word:" ""You must tell everybody that Mario was with us yesterday afternoon from 5 to 8 pm, at a meeting in Francesco's house. "." "Try and deny it!" " Lies!" "Lies!" " Deny it under oath!" "Was there a phone call or not?" "There was no phone call." "There was a meeting at Francesco's, and Mario was there, from 5 to 8 pm." "Let's hear what you have to say about this?" "It's Maria Grazia Martini's diary." "It was handed to Mrs. Zigai by Boni, in the evening on the day of the crime." ""March 28." "I'll meet with Mario in the afternoon." "I'm fed up with him." "He's too demanding." "I must get rid of him. he's boring"" "We don't know anything about that stuff." "As far as we can tell, it could've been written by Zigai." "From first to the last line." " Cowards!" " How much did they pay you?" "How much?" "Spy!" "You've written it!" "Spy!" "So I supposedly wrote that bitch's diary?" "what for?" "You know why!" "You wanted to screw us and Mario!" "Who is Mario?" "Who is he?" "I'm here for justice." "Politics has nothing to do with!" "As far as your Mario is concerned, and you should know that," " He could've killed..." " What the fuck are you saying?" "There's evidence!" "Sit down!" "We're not at the market!" "Sit down!" "You ruined him." "You took him away from me." "Because you were jealous!" "I was helping him, but you turned him against me." "Because he loved me." "He loved me very much." "You were saying that I was old." "You always hated me!" "Always!" "Always!" "Can't you see that she's crazy?" "We never hated you!" "You never understood a thing!" "Nobody hated you!" "Nobody ever said anything about you and Mario." "We didn't interfere." "You should've acted differently with Mario." "Not like some pain in the ass that wanted to keep him inside the house and isolate him like some jerk." "Who cares if you're old and ugly if you were good enough for him." "But you behaved like some bourgeois." "A piece of shit fascist!" "You were constantly ruining him!" "Shut up!" "I'm not crazy!" "I'm not crazy!" "To the asylum!" "Get them out of here!" "Now!" "Here they are!" "They are coming out!" "Wait a moment!" "Stay back!" "Don't make a mess!" "Miss, tell us something!" "Are you with Mario Boni?" "Were you engaged?" "Go away!" "As we can clearly see from the tire tracks, the car stopped in this spot, under the effect of an abrupt breaking action." "It is conceivable that a brief scuffle occurred inside the car." "The man was looking for a penetrating carnal contact." "The victim managed to get out of the car when the attacker already made it clear, with his pleas and lascivious touching of her pudenda parts, that it was time for him to dare." "That he was an animal." "There was a short...." ""Capture the evidence of guilt of the accused from his expression. ", as they said." " The prosecutor has a good classical education." " It's grotesque." "Indeed." "But that's not the only thing in the Martini case." "There's not much to discover anymore." "Everything is too perfect." "It was clear since the beginning." "Disgusting pigs!" "You make me sick!" "You are the monsters!" "Shit!" "Sexual perverts!" "Slaves of your own balls!" "Typical." "The extreme defense." "Accusing others of his own perversions." "Take him away!" "Caught by the monster, the victim surely tried to wriggle free." "Maybe she managed to free herself, thus escaping, if only for a moment, from the attackers grip." " You wanted to tell me something?" " Don't tease me, Roveda!" "It's not the first time that Lauri collaborates with the police in finding the perfect culprit." "Are you not teamed up with him?" "And this Mario..." "He's too convenient for the owner of your paper." "It'll be raining votes." "Indirect propaganda is always the best, don't you know that?" "Yes, but I swear I don't know a thing, even if it makes me look like an idiot." "If this is your profession, you can't afford to be an idiot." "While you write your usual articles, Bizanti and Lauri produce culprits." "And they mean business." "You have an internal board, you won yourselves the right of assembly..." "What more do you want?" "Address the sales management with a written request." "Excuse me, Bizanti, I have something to tell you." " Is it urgent?" " It's a delicate matter." "What more can I say?" "Do as I told you!" "Come." "What is it, Roveda?" "It's about the Martini case." "I've become acquainted with a fact I was unaware of." "And that is..." "You coupled me with Lauri out of a reason, in accordance with an accurate plan." "Of course, to each his own task." "Was there an encroachment?" "Let me be very explicit." "I'm absolutely convinced that you were always behind Lauri's work." " Could you be more specific." " Ok." "I have two questions for you." "First, Zigai was unearthed by Lauri and then, he or someone else persuaded her to denounce Mario Boni." ""ll Giornale" invented a culprit based on half-testimony of a poor crazy woman." "A hysterical and jealous woman." "You entrusted me with a case, and then you stripped it from me behind my back." "Listen..." "Second, this campaign has grown out of proportion for obvious electoral aims." "Are you convinced that the elections will be enough justify this set-up?" "Are you criticizing our political stance or giving me a lesson in professional ethics?" "You treated me like a puppet on a string!" "A puppet... is only he who wants to be one, Roveda." "Listen, you have a future ahead of you." "You're a good journalist and you have no career anxieties." "Lauri is much less honest than you." "But he's unscrupulous." "He has acquaintances almost everywhere" "He has an excellent network of informants." "Thanks to him we managed to dodge many holes and, more often than not, beat other papers to the punch." "I know that very well." "I wasn't born yesterday." "But this time it wasn't just about the informants network, as you say." "It was about giving to the police, the judiciary and the public opinion a ready-made culprit." "The Martini case is a symptom." "An indication of the situation." "Have you ever wondered why we receive so many letters?" "It's because common people think that this murder is a symbol of our country's decay." "And they are scared." "But this reality should be explained." "Reported objectively." "Instead of that, you distort it." "You don't mind walking over the corpses and heads of the people, and you turn a common case into a symbol." "Ok." "Me, "ll Giornale"..." "We provoke." "We do not report the facts objectively." "What objectivity, Roveda?" "Have you ever wondered who is Mario Boni?" "He's a misfit that rejects the rules of social harmony." "He uses drugs and assaults "ll Giornale"." "He attacks the workers that don't want to go on strike." "He kidnaps executives, turns cars upside down and sets them on fire." "He even hates you, Roveda, along with your nice sentiments and your noble idealism." "You see the journalist as an unbiased observer." "Let me tell you that I pity Those unbiased observers." "We must be protagonists, not observers." "We are at war!" "We too are involved in the class struggle." "It wasn't invented by Marx and Lenin!" "... the majority of citizens that respect the most obvious rules of social harmony." "There is also a minority of people that are, let's say... turbulent." "And in this minority I include perverts, maniacs, dangerous patients..." "And also the nihilists that want to destroy everything without ever posing a problem of what to set against." ""Who is the majority?", you'll ask me." "And my answer is: "Those that work, pay taxes... "" "There's daddy." "Can you see him?" "Come on, it's him." "Can't you see?" "Look." "Look at daddy there." "Don't sleep and watch daddy." "Come on." "What a bore!" "Let's change the channel!" "We can't." "You know he would be offended." "Come on, watch." "I don't understand a thing!" "There's daddy!" "Come on, look at him!" "It's him, look." ".... our children go to school every day, they are exposed and defenseless." "We must pose that problem here and now." "You are very telegenic, you know." "You came out really well." "Well done." "The police should intervene." "The judges should convict." "The executives should act with extreme firmness." "I would like, if you allow, to express a simpler point of view, which some might be ironic about, but I think it's important to reaffirm it." "The root of evil is located in the origins." " Human..." "Humans are imperfect!" " Ok, we are all imperfect," "You're the best of them all, you know." "But we're dealing with true criminals here." "Both when they're planting bombs and when they're raping little girls." "It's not mere coincidence that this Mario Boni was a revolutionary during day-time and a filthy murderer in the night-time." "Did you know that you are worse than those idiots that read "ll Giornale" as if it was the Gospel?" "Is it possible that you are stuck with, despite everything, despite your friendships, your money, the fact that you're my wife that you are stuck with that civil servants' wife mentality?" "And it's not just the fact that you are a moron, but the fact that you're making my son into one too." "Can't you understand that the wife of the editor-in-chief of one of the most competent paper in Italy, is expected to have a bit more evolved mentality than the average reader?" "When will you begin understanding the world?" "Understanding the difference between What we think and what we say?" "You are a moron, a moron, a moron!" "I feel alone in this house!" "I find talking to the walls more satisfactory than talking to you!" "If you were Maria Grazia's father, would that still be your answer?" "Yeah, it's true!" "On the 28th of March, I wasn't at Vitaliano Fabrini's home." "I spent all afternoon with Maria Grazia." "I didn't tell you right away because I was afraid." "And also because I don't trust your kind very much." "I was waiting for her, as always, with my 500 in front of the school." "Since her mother often picked her up, she would nod to let me know if she can come or not." "Naturally, we had to do everything in secret." "Her parents were liable to denounce me had they known she was going out with me." "No to fascism!" "No to communism!" "A vote for Christian Democracy is worth double." "Use the crossed shield as your defense against disorder and violence." "Grazia!" " Come on, Mario." "Don't start." " Why?" "Because!" "We were supposed to talk, don't you remember?" " What a disgusting place!" "Where have you brought me?" " Excuse me if it's not the Milan riverside." "Your beautiful Milan." " Why did you come then?" " The moral capital." "Stop it!" " So..." " So, enough." "I don't want it anymore." "So you've had enough of the proletarian?" "You were with me only out of curiosity." "You just indulged a whim of yours, right?" "Phew, Mario, why are saying all that bullshit?" "I was with you because you were cute and I liked you." "Now I don't like you anymore." "It's not the end of the world." "They told me I shouldn't go out with a stupid girl like you." "Let's not talk about it anymore." "Take me home." "Listen, pretty, you'll go home on foot because I won't take you!" "Go!" "Phone them so they can send you a chauffeur!" "I state beforehand that I consider that the charges against your client are not weakened, but, on the contrary, substantiated and confirmed with this statement." "Sign here." "MARIA GRAZIA'S DIARY WAS THE DECISIVE EVIDENCE" "BONI'S ALIBI CRUMBLES" " I have something very important to tell you." " That is?" "Don't worry, I'm giving you this news for free." " Mario Boni didn't kill anybody." " What?" "Your paper wrote a lot of fibs." "Could you explain yourself?" "Maria Grazia wasn't a virgin." "Mind you, she was a wonderful girl." "It's just that she went to bed with someone, that's all." "Doctors statements and autopsy reports affirm the opposite." "They all mention virginity." "What virginity?" "That's what they say!" "What world are you living in?" "Martini is a baron at the university and in hospitals." "The doctors that did the autopsy either done him a favour or he paid them." "Calvi knows, she's been with him." "And then she left him for Boni." "And this relationship with Mario Boni...?" "They met at an assembly of workers and students." "There was a period of time when all girls threw themselves at proletarians." "She was very beautiful." "Everyone liked her." "Of all the assholes in this world, it had to happen to her." "Even the janitor fell in love with her." "The one that said he saw her entering the yellow 500?" "Yes." "He courted her in his own way." "A shy, frustrated wanker." "Principal's spy." "May I?" "May I?" "Who is it?" "Excuse me, I'm a reporter." "No, I don't want to talk to reporters anymore." " I'm from "ll Giornale"." " Please leave." "Calm down." "I have no intention of speculating on Maria Grazia Martini case." "I already told you everything I knew." "I have nothing else to tell you." "I just need to know one thing." "Has Maria Grazia been in a relationship with some of her schoolmates?" "No." "No." "Maria Grazia wasn't capable of doing certain things." "She was just a child." "She never got intimate with anybody." "I watched her." "All her schoolmates gathered around her because she was the most beautiful and the most kind." "Mario Boni claims he met her at an assembly." "That's impossible, because she knew nothing about politics." "And she didn't even want to know anything about it." "Therefore no strikes, no squatting, no assemblies..." "Not like her schoolmates, Those criminals, that have taken over the school by now." "They take drugs..." "They're all daddy's little boys that have nothing to lose." "I'd put them all in jail." "So you're convinced that Boni is the murderer." "Of course it's him." "I can't understand why he's still alive." "And I trust the news." "I've read it on "II Giornale"." "I've been reading it for years." "I'm a faithful reader." "I read nothing else." "Then you'll know that Mario Boni confessed to having a relationship with Maria Grazia." " But..." " An intimate relationship." "But "ll Giornale" didn't mention it." "You haven't said that!" "That rotten bastard!" "Maybe he did hit on her." "But she..." "No, she wasn't the type." "She was..." "She was innocent." "She was..." "She was pure." "She was a saint." "An angel!" "She was..." "She was the Virgin Mary!" "Virgin Mary!" "Virgin Mary!" "Virgin Mary!" "She was a saint!" "That's who Maria Grazia was to me!" "The Virgin Mary!" "She was a saint to me!" "The Virgin Mary!" "A saint!" "So the boys from school were right when they told me you were in love with Maria Grazia." "They hate me because she loved me!" "She couldn't stand them!" "They saw her as a whore!" "You know why these things happen?" "Because they abolished Latin." "Latin must be mandatory." "I had the usual drill, but I remember everything!" "I didn't expect anything less from you!" "What you wrote are just personal assumptions that the police already considered and discarded." "The police followed the path that you and Lauri indicated." "I demand from "ll Giornale" to consider the other hypothesis!" "And stop this framing of Boni and his group." "Calm down, Roveda, and listen to me." "Why don't you worry exclusively about things that concern you?" "Sure!" "Your famous "division of tasks"." "There's enough for everybody!" "It's just a question of guts!" "You're turning this profession into something vile!" " And which professions are noble?" " I despise you!" "You said too much." "You're a perfect specimen of a moron!" "You don't scare me!" "Go to the administration and get your dismissal papers." "They're ready." " I'll denounce you to the Journalists Association!" " You go and do that." "I can't stand it anymore!" "He's a perfect idiot!" "We'll all end up in his first book!" "Who are you?" "how dare you?" "What do you want?" "How dare you?" "I asked you who you are?" "What do you want?" " Tell me everything!" " Everything?" "I've nothing to hide!" " Swine!" "Swine!" " I know nothing!" "Say "I did it"!" "Say "I did it"!" " Say "I did it"!" " I killed her!" " Say it!" " Yes, it was me." "I killed her." "That rotten bitch!" "She mocked me, so I followed her with my car." "Boni left her on the outskirts." "Help!" "Stay put!" "Stay put!" "Yes, I killed her!" "Listen to me carefully." "You and I are the only ones that know about this." "If you talk to someone, I'll hurt you." "If you don't say a thing, I'll help you." "Is that clear?" " Yes!" "Yes!" " Is that clear?" " Do you get it?" "Do we understand each other?" " Yes!" "Yes!" "Christian Democracy is proving to be a great party." "It's recovering...." ""Anti-fascism and anti-communism" will still be the winning card." "There's a danger that this formula has been worn-out." "No one still believes that if communists win, we'll see Cossack horses drink from the San Pietro fountains." "I'm afraid of this total lack of imagination." "Goebbels wrote, in his diaries, that the masses are much more primitive than we can imagine." "Therefore, the propaganda should be essentially simple based on the repetition method." "A very modern method, driven forward by the big American advertising agencies." "Unique Selling Proposition." "You had some news?" "What is it?" "Yes." "The real murderer of Maria Grazia Martini turned up." "A maniac... a sick person." "He won't talk." "He won't say a thing." "It's up to us to decide how to use him." "Let's wait until the elections are through." "We'll decide according to the outcome." " Should I inform the director?" " No, he shouldn't know about it." "Everyone must do their jobs and take their part of responsibility." "And, naturally, their share of the profits." "The one called "director" is not always the one doing the directing." "Everyone must stay at their place." "The police for repressing, the judiciary for sentencing and the press for convincing people to think the way we want them to." "After all, everybody is doing their duty." "Only the workers won't play along." "They don't work enough." "They don't care." "They're always asking for money." "We're unable to raise the production levels." "That's the real trouble." "How much does it matter, in front of all this, if some Mario Boni is guilty or innocent?" "... we humbly pray to you, to send your spirit to sanctify these gifts we offer you, so that they can become the body and blood of Jesus Christ, your son and our Lord, who has commanded us to celebrate these Mysteries." "Remember our sister Maria Grazia whom you called to yourself today from this life." "As you united her to yourself with baptism with the death of Christ, your Son, now let her be part of his resurrection." "When he makes the dead rise from the ground, he will transform our mortal bodies into the image of his glorious body." "Pray, my brothers, for our sacrifice to be welcomed by God almighty."
