"THE THIRD SECRET" "Catarella!" "Catarella." "Where the hell are you going, Catarella?" "Where are you going?" "What the fuck are you doing?" "Where are you going?" "Catarella!" "No!" "No." "Catarella!" "Christ, Catarella!" "What happened?" "Doctor, is that you?" " Yes" "What happened?" " Nothing, Doctor." " Stay calm." "I'll call for help." " You don't need to." "You don't understand!" "It's all fake." "Theater." "What are you saying?" "We are in a show, doctor." "This is not blood." "It's tomato sauce." "What, Catarella?" "The time is over" "I die in despair." "I die in despair." " No!" "No!" "Hello?" " The nuptials are all screwed." "Doctor, have you gone?" " No, I'm here." "Catarella, can you be more clear?" " You want me to spell it?" "The nuptials are screwed." " Leave it." "I can't handle it." "Call Augello." " Doctor Augello isn't here." "Then discuss everything with Fazio." "Fazio, father or son?" "Christ!" "Joseph." "Carmine is retired." "Why are you so upset?" " I had a strange dream." "I dreamed of Catarella." "We were together during an operation." "Someone shot him in the chest and he died." "I felt terrible." "Why are you laughing?" "It makes me laugh that you dream about Catarella." "What about it!" "You never dream of a colleague?" "Oh, yes!" "And he's tall, blond, with blue eyes ... a nice guy." "Yes!" " It's a recurring dream." "If you want, I'll tell you." " Stop it!" "No more dumb dreams." "No!" "This is not the Cicalone Funeral Home!" "This is the police station." "You want me to say it singing?" "Catarella, you sing very well." "You're talking to me, doctor?" " Who else would I be talking to?" "You've heard me sing?" "Yes, last night." " Last night?" "Last night I was in my bed." "But I heard you sing in a dream." "In a dream?" "What a beautiful thing!" "You think of me even when you sleep?" "I don't dream of you every night." " Last night you dreamed of me?" "It means that you think of me even when not on duty." "Doctor, but ..." "what was I doing in your dream?" "I don't remember." "Is Doctor Augello in the office?" " Yes, doctor." "So if you need me, I'm with him." " As you command!" "I do not know." "Livia says that's not normal to dream of Catarella." "It seems to me something that can happen." "What do you think?" " I believe in dreams, Salvo." "Not all, but some end up being prescient." "It happened to me recently." "I dreamed of a husband who discovered me in bed with his wife." "Shit!" "Four days later the cuckold was going to surprise us." "But I remembered the dream and had time to escape." "This is a prophetic dream?" " Sure." "A husband finding you in bed with his wife is a likely thing." "But what I'd dreamed, occurred." "I'll bet your hand slipped." " No, my foot." "There was wax on the floor." "I got this envelope with your address." "Put it on my desk." "I'll read it later." " Yes sir." "Catarella, what did you do to your leg?" " It hurts." "Why?" " I slept badly last night." "I fell out of bed and twisted it." "Ah!" "Ok, I was just curious." "Can I ask you something?" "In the dream was Catarella lame like now?" "No!" "Sorry, I almost forgot." "Remember the house I'm renting?" "The owner has decided to sell it at a good price." "But I have to renovate." "Then there's the mortgage, the deed ..." "What do you want from me?" "I won't give you any money." " Have I asked you?" "I wanted to tell you not to worry if I need some time off." "I know you can't live without me!" "But you have the beautiful Genoese." " Stop it!" "I can't even mention her?" " Not all the time." "But take that smile off your face." " I saw her first, and sportingly left her to you." "In the same way you leave this place." "Can I go back to work?" "Good morning, Commissioner." " Fazio, helping the cleaning lady?" "No." "I have been called by the Montelusa police station." "These practices must be examined and signed by tonight" "By you, Inspector!" " By me?" "Not later than tonight?" " Yes." "Where do I put them?" "In there." "Oh!" "I get a headache just looking at them." "I beg you." " By tonight, all right." "Catarella was raving something about a spousal disappearance." "I didn't understand." "This morning Mr. Crisafulli, employee of the Registry noticed that the town hall board had disappeared." "Perhaps an employee brought it in." "No." "That is the message board of the marriage notices." "It must be shown day and night as the law says." "Otherwise the marriage can't take place." " On the appointed day." "They must redo do it all." " Exactly what I said?" "Exactly." " Go!" "I'm still shocked." "The doctor dreamed about me last night." "He told me." "He loves you." "Do you really think so?" " I think so." "But it seems impossible." "Catarella!" "You've had your break, now back to work." "Yes sir, doctor." " If the phone rings, nobody answers." "You spoke of the dream?" " No!" " No." "You cried so much in the dream?" " Livia!" " Tell me." "Catarella, Catarella!" "Come by Calogero." "(Salvo speaks in Sicilian dialect)" "What did you say?" "(Salvo speaks in Sicilian dialect)" "I didn't understand." "I am very hungry." " You said that?" " Yes" "I said that." " Interesting." "What is it?" " Excuse me a moment." "Good morning." " Hi." " Are you Mr. Crisafulli?" "Why?" " Commissioner Montalbano." "I heard about the theft." "It's all right now?" " Yes." "I went up to Montelusa and the judge gave this authorization." "Luckily, there were only six publications." "These days, there aren't many weddings." "It's too hot." "How did you do it without duplicating?" "We had to start all over again." "We had to reconvene the bride and groom and redo everything." "Can I have a copy of the weddings?" "A copy?" "Why?" "Is something wrong?" "No, it's just to be safe." " As you wish." "Wait here a moment." "I'm going for the photocopies." "Very curious." "Commissioner, can I talk to you?" " Tell me." "This is my nephew John and he saw who stole the board." "John said that evening he was chatting with two friends in Town Hall Square." "He had forgotten his cigarettes." "When he returned, he saw a man had pulled down the bulletin board." "What did this man look like?" "He was stocky and maybe 50." "Thank you." "If you smoke at 16, what will you be doing at 30?" "He's right." "Quit smoking or I'll tell your mother." " No, please." "Whoever stole the bulletin board, had a reason to do so." "It was no accident." "The board has already been replaced." "What was stolen?" "It was a wedding announcement." " To all the couples?" "No, maybe just a few or just the groom or bride." "He could just break the glass and take the name he wanted." "Had he done so, it would have been like leaving his signature." "Instead he took the whole board and whoever had to understand, will understand." "What?" " The phrase from "The Betrothed"." "Did you read it?" "It's enough to read in school." ""This marriage cannot be."" " Yes we understand that." "We begin to reason logically." "Take a pair and find out everything about the betrothed." "What do you want to know?" "The past, what people think of them and their wedding." "Discover which diseases they've had, if you can." "Selinunte was twice besieged by the Carthaginians and Romans." "I didn't know that." "The ruins of unfinished palaces remain, not affected by the war." "We Sicilians like to do things slowly." "I want to go there before returning to Genoa." "Tomorrow I can take a half day off, if you want." "Really?" " Yes" " What time?" "Will you come for me or should I come to you?" " I do not know." " Please come." "I'll come for you." "Thank you." "See you later." "We'll go to Selinunte." "Have a good day at work." " Thanks." "At 1:00 PM today the Albanian mason will go to a better life, falling from scaffolding in Tonnarello." "Can you do something to stop this workplace incident?" "Is something wrong?" " No, it's all right." "See you later." "Catarella, what time did you get this letter?" "It was express mail." "It arrived at 9." "Did you hand it to me right away?" " Sure." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "Three days to go from Vigata to Vigata." "Catarella." " Yes?" " I need ..." "Why not go to the doctor?" "The doctor's busy." " Call another." " No, he's a good veterinarian." "To check the leg, you call the vet?" " We are animals." "Why did you call?" " Nothing." "I'm going shopping." ""Yesterday, Albanian bricklayer, Pashok Puka, 38, who worked with a regular work permit at the Santa Maria Company fell from a scaffold in Tonnarello."" "Between Vigata and Montelusa." "This anonymous letter warned that the crime could be avoided." "Why haven't we done anything?" " Because it arrived yesterday morning." "It was sent three days ago and if the post office had done it's job, we might have prevented this death." " What do we do now?" "Tonnarello is much closer to Montelusa than Vigata." "If we haven't heard anything of the accident, others are investigating already." "There is a carabinieri station in the neighborhood." "I've already spoken to them." "Find out more." " Okay." "I'll go." "Salvo, I think they even gave the story to the news." ""Tele Vigata"?" " No. "Free Network"." "Your friend Nicholas has spoken of the white death." "You loved the show so much you want to see it again?" "I could not see it, but they said it was on Tonnarello." "And five other deaths in the province of Montelusa." "I call this the "massacre"." " I need to see the material." "No problem." "It will take an hour to get the material together." " Perfect." "I should already have the archive tape." "I can duplicate it, but it takes about half an hour." "Wait, or come back?" "I'd rather wait." " Well." "I'll give you a gift." "Check out this variation." "That's it." "This is the Honorable Carlo Posacane." "Inaugurating a highway from his hometown, Sancocco with 313 inhabitants in Montelusa." "There are piles of concrete for no apparent reason." "The Mafia must be fought, but with distinctions." "We should not generalize." "There are gentlemen who have always stood for justice and were rewarded with the stigma of "mafia"." "Who is that?" " That?" "It's an honest victim of unjust justice," "Vincenzo Scipione, Great Elector." "Mr. Posacane, owner of the highway company." "I'll get the cassette." " Thank you, Nicholas." "May I speak?" "The next time I'll eat alone because you don't talk." "What's on the tape?" " I do not know." "We'll see it together." "We'll do the film club?" " Doctor." " Fazio." "Sorry to disturb you, but my father said I'd find you here." "We're done." "Sit down." " Okay." "Tell me." " I've already talked with the carabinieri." "The sergeant seems to be a good person." "So are we out?" "We are half in and half out." " What do you mean?" "It's not our investigation, but we know things that they don't know." "We know it is a tragedy, but also a murder." "We can also pretend it was an accident." "You're right." "Now we can choose." "We can pretend we never received the letter." "Or deliver the letter and a lot of encouragement to the carabinieri." "That's what I'd do" " Me too." "There is a third choice." "We can start investigating ourselves." "Let's see how things go." "But it must remain secret." "The murderers or the carabinieri must not find out." "It's an unorthodox procedure." "You are right." "We deliver the letter to the carabinieri." "Okay." "We investigate in secret." " Bravo, Mimi." "This time it's dangerous." " Quiet." "Fazio, go to the post office with the envelope." "Few use the express mail from Vigata to Vigata." "You get the receipt of sender and ask if they remember him." "In a friendly way to explain the facts and ask how a letter sent by express mail can take three days to go one mile." "Will do." " Cheers!" "Explain to me why we are watching this thing?" "Enough corpses." " There have been too many deaths at this site and the death of this Albanian is strange." "Go back." "Look at this." "If he fell through the broken platform, he would end up under the scaffolding and instead beside it." "Look at the position." "It's just as we would imagine." "It almost seems fake." "Look at the wound on the head." "If it was caused by the fall, it would be the other way." "Excuse me Salvo, you're trying to make the evidence show that it's a murder." "If you had not received notice with the anonymous letter would you have the same feeling of farce?" "What are you doing here Montalbano?" "I don't think we have anything pending." "No." "I was passing by and thought I'd visit Dr. Pasquale to inquire about the Albanian." " What are you doing?" "Intruding into the deaths of others?" " No." "The ministry has ordered a statistical survey on how many ..." "How many Albanian masons fall off scaffolding every year?" "The survey ..." " I don't make fun of you." "If you want information, speak out." "You're right, Doctor ." "I'm investigating a robbery in a jewelry store." "It seems that Pashok Puka was involved." "We think that he was killed by one of his accomplices." "Why didn't you say so?" "Why do you lie?" "I guessed you weren't doing statistical research with numbers." "Here is your Albanian." "There are fractures and wounds compatible with a fall." "I do not know if the fall was accidental or intentional." "It's something an autopsy can never establish." "One thing that surprised me." "Frankly," "I've seen many dead masons, especially recently." "This one was different from others and not just because he was Albanian." "In what way." " He had the physique of a mason." "He had a tan typical of construction sites." "He had skin damaged by the sun and lime." "He did not have calluses on his hands." "This man's hands were perfect, like a pianist." "Now if you want more information, ask Sergeant Verruso." "I think you should be cautioned that he investigates this." " Indeed." "I think I will." "Thank you." " Not at all." "See you." "Thank you." " Goodbye." "Yes, yes." "Selinunte!" "I forgot the appointment." "Fuck you." "What do you want?" " Be more polite." "What did I do?" " Damaging a public service." "Who are you?" " sergeantof the carabinieri." "Excuse me, I was nervous." " Don't be nervous anymore." "Hello?" " Hello, Livia." "It's Salvo." "Something has come up." "I have to do something important." "Do you mind going to Selinunte tomorrow?" " No." "It can happen." " It won't happen again." "Good morning." "You were right." "Few use the express mail from Vigata to Vigata." "The clerk remembered a child with the form and the money ready." "This doesn't solve anything." "Did he explain why the letter arrived late?" "Yes, there was a strike by the COBAS trade union." " Whoever sent the letter didn't know and wanted to prevent the crime." "It is now a crime." " You've found something?" "A little bit." "The victim had the hands of a pianist." "What does that mean?" "He was Albanian, but he was certainly a mason." "Maybe he pretended to be a mason." "Ask if the site is still locked." " I already know." "It's still locked." " Is there a guard?" " Yes" "Wait, Commissioner." "What are you gonna do?" "If Sergeant Verruso sees you, we'll have trouble." "Is Dr. Augello here?" " No, he had an errand." "I go?" "Doctor, what happened?" "Why are you all wet?" "Nothing happened." "Call Fazio and Mimi while I wash." "Are you sure you don't need help?" " Yes" "Send Fazio and Mimi in my office." "I am here ... now, what have you done?" "At the site where Pashok Puka was killed, there is a shack that workers use as a changing room." "On the bathroom door I found this." "Dried blood." "If it belongs to Puka, it becomes a key piece of evidence." "About what?" "Of how they killed him." "I think it was in the bathroom, he was surprised and struck from behind." "He left the door open." "The assassin entered and hit him with an iron pipe and then moved him to set the stage." "He must have an accomplice." "They returned to the bathroom, and cleaned up but they forgot about the blood on the door." " How did it get there?" "The bathroom is small." "They gave him the first blow, and were preparing to hit him again and the pipe bumped against the door." "Sorry I'm late." "The important thing is that you're here." "But I'm sorry to leave you alone." "Really!" "I'm sorry to be here and not be with you." "But think of when we are apart." "I am here and you in Boccadasse." "No!" "I worry most about when we're together but in reality we are apart." " No!" "It will never happen." "I promise." "I promise." "Ah!" " The shoulder?" " Yes, but it's nothing." " Does it hurt." "It's nothing." " You're sure?" " Yes." "At what stage is the investigation on the weddings!" " What can I say ..." "It is said that Gaetano Palminteri is a very good person." "Sells fish at the market and widowed two years ago." "He has two sons, one ten, one eight, but he can't look after them." "Then he married Teresa who was a friend of his wife." "There is nothing strange." " Ok, who's next?" "Filippa Di Stefano, married Alfonso Serraino, 8 years her junior." "But not as you might think." "What were you thinking?" " A widow who is rich with a boy." "Instead?" " Instead, Serraino, had a car accident many years ago and was paralyzed, He's confined to a wheelchair." "He then ..." " Okay, tell me." "Gerlando Cascio worked for 8 years in Dusseldorf." "He was a waiter in a restaurant where he met Ulrike Roth." "After the wedding, they went to Germany and with them, Humbert and Calogero." "They all go to work in this chain of restaurants owned by Ulrike Roth's father." "That's it." "Perhaps the story of the wedding is just a hoax." " So?" "For now let's leave these and go after the other three pairs." "Go." "Fazio!" " Commissioner." " I want to know all about the building societies where the 6 victims worked." "Do it quickly and discreetly." " Okay." "Mamma mia!" "There is a carabinieri sergeant who wants to talk with you "In person, personally."" "He's called "Velluso"." "Should I tell him to come in?" " Sure." " Please." "We meet again!" " We meet again." "Can I get you anything?" " No, thank you." "Commissioner, are you investigating Pashok Puka?" "Who?" " I spoke a moment ago with Dr. Pasquano." "He said that you asked for the results of the autopsy because Puka may have committed theft." " Really?" "He told me so." "We have heard, but it's just a rumor that this Albanian, together with other elements of local crime ..." "Only rumors?" " Only rumors." " Express-mail is not it?" "What?" "Yesterday I received this, too late to intervene." "But you should know." "You received one identical to this." "I did?" "Who says?" " Read it." "As a favor." ""I sent the same letter Commissioner Montalbano."" "Since you're surprised, I assume yours was missing his postscript." "I received it." "What next?" " You would have delivered it to my superiors." "I know, nobody has to teach me my job." "Take the letter and go on." "Make it disappear." "My superiors don't need to know this story." "Thank you." "What did you find at the site?" "How do you know about that ..." " I was there." " I'm a pawn?" "I would never have allowed it." "I decided to do an inspection of the yard but then I saw your car and ..." " How did you know it was mine?" "I saw it when we had the discussion." " I didn't see you." "I parked outside the fence." "You entered the shack and I hid myself." "It could appear as it did this morning, I could be ..." "What?" "A thief?" "Commissioner, you looked like a hunting dog pointing." "Come in!" "Commissioner, sorry ... when you're finished." "No, come ..." "Indeed, bring the envelope I gave you." "I want to show it to the sergeant." " I do not remember where I put it." "Excuse me." "Why are you behaving like this?" " I do not understand anything anymore." "You told us we had to do this investigation and now you want to give the envelope to the sergeant?" " I changed my mind." "Give me the envelope, now!" "I don't understand." " Okay." "Thanks." " If you can prove this is the blood of Puka, it will mean that ... we'll compare it with the other sample." " Other sample?" "When you left the yard I brought in two of my men and we looked carefully in the bathroom." "There were blood stains behind the bowl that escaped the "cleanup" by the killers." "Puka has not been the only one killed." " I agree." "I've told you everything." "I gave you the sample, but now I've got things to do." "Maybe you didn't understand." " What should I know?" "I came here to tell you ..." "I came to ask if you would help me." "I do not mean officially." " Why would I do that?" "The history of the rivalry between the police and the carabinieri is bullshit." "We all work for the same purpose." "I have only 3 men." "Do you think I deserve all the credit for this investigation?" "No, I do not know at all." "Me, I don't give a fuck about these things." "But I think you're still hiding something from me." "You are a cop." "But you're right, there is something I didn't say and I can't tell you." "But trust me." "Commissioner!" " We will not deal with the death of the Albanian." "You said we needed to do one thing." " You were right." "It was an investigation of the carabinieri." "We shouldn't have intruded." " Why?" "The institutions and rules are sometimes less than a man." "And Verruso is a man before being a policeman." " Yes." " Okay." "What had you written?" "Nothing, silly things I found on those sites." "Like what?" "There is a link between two of the six accidents, between one that died under an iron beam and the Albanian." "They worked for the same construction company, Santa Maria." "Okay." "Good morning." " Good morning." "What do you want?" " I am Inspector Montalbano." "I would like to speak with Mr. Corso." " What do you want from me?" "I'm here about the Albanian who died at your site." "Where's the Revenue Service?" " I do not understand irony." "The carabinieri had to look into this thing." "Now the police!" " I'm not here for trouble." "The Albanian was suspected of theft." " I don't believe it." " Okay." "I understand people immediately." "I just look to see how they think and Puka was not a thief." "Those who want to work with me are chosen by me, one on one." "And I've never been wrong." " Not even with foreigners?" "Whatever the color, men are always like you and me." "You have many immigrants working for you." " What should I do?" "Should I send them to steal or to sell themselves or their children?" "I know what it means." "I immigrated 30 years ago." "I know these people." "How do you find them?" " They're referred to me." "By whom?" " La Caritas and other similar organizations ..." "The Prefecture." " Puka who referred him?" "I do not remember." " It 's important try to remember." " Catherine!" "What?" " Do you remember who alerted us to Puka, the Albanian?" "The police headquarters." "After the accident I looked on the computer." "Then no one asked me about it." " Commissioner." "You came with bullshit." " Calm down, remember your blood pressure." "Don't worry, goodbye." "My daughter, we had her late." "And now, if you have nothing else to ask me, I have work to do." "I too." "Goodbye, and thanks." "Hello?" " Doctor, they shot the message board." " I'll be right there." "Commissioner, here it is." " Doctor, we were lucky." "He only fired a few shots." " It's a hoax?" "No." " This idiot shooting, wanted to clarify his intentions." "These shots show us this is a serious business." "Let's check the other 3 couples." "Fazio takes care of David and Golia." "Gallo, Capo di Casa and Umile." "Paterno, Lumja and Jalma Driss." "Any questions?" "No?" "Then you can go." "The worker!" " Mimi, I was thinking of you." "Come in." "Salvo, it's all done and the house is almost ready." "I have to ask you for a few days off for the furniture." "Fazio said that you have passed the Puka investigation to the carabinieri." "So you do not need me anymore." " Are you kidding?" "I need you." "Okay, I don't think we have anything big." " What?" "The annual report on the actual costs of the police?" "It's important and must be delivered to Montelusa Police Headquarters immediately." "The report?" " Yes" " Could you do it?" " Not a chance!" "Hello?" "There's a phone call from a young lady who has a course." "What course?" " She said only "course"." "Okay, pass her through." "Commissioner Montalbano?" " Yes" " Catherine Corso, I must talk to you." "Catherine, tell me." "I do not like talking behind my father's back, but it's for his own good." "If I had spoken in front of him, he'd have had another heart attack." "Miss, your father won't know ..." " He may not have understood." "I'm doing some things he doesn't know about." "My husband and one of his colleagues is doing work of the utmost secrecy but I couldn't tell you at work because even my father doesn't know." "I can imagine." " Can we walk?" " Sure." "When you asked us about who referred Puka ..." " Let's get to you." "When you asked us about Puka, I said that it was the police." "This is what I told my father and is on our computer, but it isn't true." " It was your husband who referred him and told you to tell your father it was the police." "Do you know the builder, Vincent Scipio?" " Zuscesce?" " Yes" "He's a rival of my father, is mafia and won't tell you." "Things have changed." "The Honourable Posacane's his baby." "Dad didn't want anything to do with the Mafia and paid." "Rigged contracts, banks that didn't expose losses, threatening letters ..." "Then, 4 months ago, there was the first accident in our yard ..." "I am aware of two incidents, the worker who was crushed by a beam and Puka." "Is this how it happened?" "Before that, it had never happened." "My father respects the safety regulations." "They were two masons." "They leaned on the railing and fell from the scaffold." "My father thought that someone had loosened the bolts." "Then I received a phone call." "They went to direct threats." " I was afraid, I did not say anything to my father or my husband." "Ten days later, a builder friend of Dad's came to dinner and told us he had sold out, relegating everything to Scipio." "He said he had needed just two accidents and didn't want anyone else dead." "I ran to my husband in Rome and I told him everything." "A few days later he phoned me telling me to take Puka." "Commissioner, you're on the wrong track, Puka is not a thief." "That was a pretext to get information about him." "Why do you care about him?" " What you just told me confirms what we already knew, namely, that Puka was not a mason but a policeman, an infiltrator." "I think they have killed him because of this." "When did you reopen the site?" " It opened at 2:00 PM." "But for now there is only the custodian." "I never would have imagined." "Who is it?" " Commissioner Montalbano, I have to talk to you." "Let me see you better." "Come in." " Please put away the gun." "Sorry, I forgot." "You always open the door with a gun in your hand?" " Not before, now I do." "What is your name?" " Angelo Peluso." "How many times have you been in Prison?" " Once and that was enough." "You become gay in prison ?" " Maybe I was before and I didn't know." "Maybe I was better." "Commissioner, what do you want?" "To talk of the dead Albanian." " But we told the carabinieri." "Yes, but neither the carabinieri nor we managed to stop this mishap." "Why didn't you call instead of writing a letter?" "Puka might still be alive." "People like me are hiding." "I wouldn't have written anything." "Was Puka homosexual?" " I don't know, I never asked." "I just watched him." "He was one of the nicest guys I've ever seen." "You told the carabinieri sergeant that Puka sometimes came here before the others." " Yes" "He arrived about half an hour early." " Why?" "I don't know." "I opened the large cabin." "He came in and I came back here." "Why wasn't the scaffold in the cabin that day?" "Gotta ask for yourself?" "I'd already seen him here another day." "What was he doing?" " Talking on one of those portable telephones." "He said the one in the shed "takes" a little." "That phone was stolen." "It's already difficult to find the Italian who has it!" "It was there because Corso gave it to me for work." "What happened to Puka's phone?" " I didn't see it near the dead man." "Perhaps the sergeant took it." "When Puka fell from the scaffolding, where were you?" " Here." "I had not slept all night." "I had a severe toothache." "You didn't even hear a cry?" " Nothing." "Not even the noise of the fall?" " Nothing." "What do you want, sir?" "Nothing." "If you didn't write the letter, I'm finished." "Doctor, we have the information on couples who are to be married." "You're done early, come." "Fazio, you had David and Golia?" "Yes, David Cimarosa and Donatella Golia, a couple for 70 years." " Tell me." "I took some notes." "David Cimarosa fell in love with Donatella Golia at age 19" "Donatella at 17, fell in love with David." "Her parents did not want these two to marry." "Donatella had a brother named Antonio." "One evening he met David and beat him severely." "They sent their daughter to a boarding school in Palermo." " David did not give up." "He went to Palermo once a month and the two were seen walking out together." "After ten years, Donatella's parents died and she would not return to Vigata because she hated Antonio." "But last year she came back for the first time to marry David." "Bring me Anthony Golia, Donatella's brother." "It shouldn't be difficult to find out where he lives." " You're right." "I know where he lives, in the cemetery." " Shit!" "Couldn't you have said so at once instead of telling the whole saga?" "Gallo, how about you?" " Stefano Capo di Casa and Virginia Umile?" "And if you pull out a bunch of lace like Fazio did, I'll kick your ass!" "It's a couple who makes you laugh." "He sells flowers and she fruits and vegetables." "They have small, neighboring stalls in the market and nobody wishes them harm." " And why do you laugh?" "She's a giant ... has arms like hams." "He is tiny and educated." "Her name is Virginia Umile (Humble) and he, Capo di Casa (Head of House)." "To me that's pretty sharp." "In a few days, the weddings are celebrated and we do not know who to protect or from what." "Where's Paterno?" "I forgot to tell you, he's ill with influenza." "Hello?" " Paterno, it's Montalbano." "Commissioner, I'm sorry I can't be there." "Salvatore Lumja is a butcher and lives above a shop in Pirandello but I could not go, because of the flu." "Hello!" "Hello, what do you want?" " I am Inspector Montalbano." "I'd like to talk to Salvatore Lumja, is that you?" " No, he's my brother but you can tell me." " No, I need to talk to him." "He's getting married and ..." "You have something against Salvatore's wedding?" " Me?" "No!" "But maybe someone else does." " Because of that bullshit on the bulletin board?" "Who said it was a warning to him?" " No one, but his name is on the bulletin board." "I am also informing the others." "That's bullshit." "No one can be against his marriage." "Do you think so?" " Yes" " But can I talk to your brother?" "Do as you wish." " Thank you, it was nice meeting you." " Okay." "Who is it?" " I am Commissioner Montalbano." " Please come up." "I have a headache and it hurts to speak." " I won't stay long." "You know why I came to see you?" "I can imagine." "Jalma!" "Jalma!" "This is Jalma, my girl." "Inspector Montalbano." "He came to inquire about our marriage." "My documents are in order." " It's not about the documents." "The fact is that ..." " Jalma, you can go back." "Excuse me, I do not want to upset her with the history of this shit that threatens the couples who are getting married." " How did you meet?" "In Palermo, a friend's house, I fell in love immediately." "She was free and came here to live with me, but is Muslim so we'll get married at City Hall, For the rest we have no enemies." "The history of the board has nothing to do with us." "We are not involved at all." "Answer ..." "Livia, where are you?" "It arrived sooner than I had expected." " What?" "The time when one of us would be somewhere else." "What are you saying?" "I am concerned, I haven't heard, and then ..." "I'm bored." "I took the bus and went to Selinunte." "Was I wrong?" " No." "You know the story of the weddings?" "I think I've figured out which couple has a problem." "It's Salvatore Lumja and Jalma Driss." " The Tunisian." "Today I went to see him." "He said he had a headache but for me he was locked in the house to protect his woman." "He keeps his girlfriend at home?" " Yes" "He allowed her to say hello and sent her back to her room." "You'd lock me up at home?" " No." "If you were in danger, yes. - Is Jalma Lumja in danger, or is he jealous?" "I do not know, but if they are the troublesome couple, I hope to find what the problem is." "She couldn't tell me because she is housebound." " When is the wedding?" "The day after tomorrow." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Your father isn't back?" " No, but he'll be here soon." "I need more information about Puka." " Sit down." "I phoned my husband." " You told him what happened?" "No, I think he already knows, he spoke in monosyllables." "I think he was abroad." "What did you need?" "I need the names of others working with Puka." " Ok." "I'll give you a floppy disk." " Is it possible to print them?" "The printer always jams." "My father is coming and I don't want him to see you here, It would be difficult to explain." "Catarella!" "There is no one in the office?" " They're all out." "Dr. Mimi had to work on a report." "Perhaps he took-off because he received a phone call from a woman." "Can you read the information on this and print it here?" "Doctor, I've never done it, but I'll try." "I'll be in my office." "Call me as soon as you finish." "It's a secret." "No one must know." "Can you do that?" " Doctor, I am too happy." "Not only did you dream about me last night, but also that you have a secret with me now!" "Well, I'll wait in the office." "Doctor, I did a double "click" on the small figure and it is open." "Then I entered the menu and I printed." "Bravo, Catarella!" "Remember ..." " It's a special secret." "Thank you, you can go." "Today Command has informed me that the procedures on Puka's body will be done at the Prefecture and I should have no more contact with the Albanian representatives." "I don't understand why." " Puka wasn't a mason and we knew it." "But also we knew he was one of ours." " What?" "Digos, Ros, Anti-Mafia ..." "I don't know, but he was sent here under cover to see if they were murders." " As you know ..." "I can't tell, but the person who told me is reliable." "I wondered how Puka could get in to investigate." "I went into Corso's office and asked the names of those working at the three sites of injuries." " Three?" "The first incident occurred 4 months ago." "A guard rail came off." "A worker became disabled." "Mr. Corso claims that the bolts were loose." "In the second incident an iron beam fell from a crane and crushed a worker." "The third incident was Puka." "To what end?" " In order to force Corso to sell his business." "Another entrepreneur was a victim of the same incidents and he retired immediately." "Someone, under political cover wants the monopoly on construction companies." " Zuscesce?" "The crew at the first site were Cavaleri Amedeo and Stefano Dimora." "At the second site were Gianfelice Barresi," "Cavaleri Amedeo, and Stefano Dimora." "At the third site, still Barresi, Cavaleri and Dimora." "Maybe they just discovered the corpse." "This proves nothing and everything." "The watchman is the same at all 3 sites." "The murderers needed an accomplice inside." "Someone to open the gates at night." "Angelo Peluso is the weak link in the chain." " Why?" "I think he was forced into this." "When he discovered they wanted to kill Puka, he probably wanted out and sent us the anonymous letters." "How was he blackmailed?" " Peluso is gay and they threatened him." "How many men do you have available?" " Three." "How many cars?" " Two." " Here's something you can do." "Five minutes before the end of work, go to the site." "Go with sirens and put a man at the entrance of the yard." "Announce that no one can leave." "Then go into the watchman's cabin and close him in." "You must give the impression of an interrogation resolution." "Then take Angelo Peluso away." "The killers will be afraid." "Okay." "But if I arrest Peluso, then what happens?" "Something will happen." "They will do something stupid." "I hope so." "Sergeant, are you okay?" "Yes, I'm all right." "Carmine!" " Doctor, good to see you!" "What are you doing here?" " Joseph said I'd find you here." "How are you?" " As a poor retiree, I read the paper and wait for Joseph to come back in the evening to tell me all." "He also told me about the small discussion between you two." "I told him that a good cop must be able to change strategy." "If he realizes he's made a mistake, he must know how to fix it." "I think he understood." " I know, you are identical." "He did well in investigations." "I would like to ask you something." "You know Sergeant Verruso?" "Have you ever done any investigation together?" " No." "But you know him?" " Yes, we met in the hospital." "In the hospital?" "He's had a tumor for two years." "He hasn't long to live." "Hey!" " What's her name?" " Margot." "My wife's name was Margot Come!" "Doctor, there is a beautiful woman, a heart stopper!" "Where?" " In your office." "Miss Driss, good morning." " Good morning." "How are you?" " Well, but I don't have much time." "Tell me." " Salvatore is away on business, but will return soon." "Yes" " I told you that my papers are in order." "They're false." "I didn't tell the truth." "Explain." " A friend of Salvatore's got me a domestic work permit." "It said that I was a babysitter, but it wasn't true." "I was doing a different job." "I arrived in Sicily illegally three years ago." "The money for the trip was given to me by an organization here in Italy." "You worked for this organization?" "Yes." "I was entrusted to a guardian." "Salvatore was a client of mine." "He fell in love with me and I with him." "We fled." "I came here to hide." "But he has found me." " Do you think it was him that shot the bulletin board?" " I am sure it was." "He calls every day and threatens us." "Salvatore and Francesco aren't afraid, but I am, for me and for them." "This is very important." "You must remain calm, until we take care of it." "You've studied?" " Yes, in my country." "If I marry, I'll stay here." "Congratulations on your Italian, It's better than ours." "Can you tell me the name of this man you talked about?" "His name is Nicholas Lo Presti." " Do you know where he lives'?" " I don't know." "It doesn't matter." "Gallo!" "Yes, doctor." " Accompany this young lady home." " Please." "Thanks." " Goodbye." "Best wishes for your wedding." "Maybe we'll solve the case of the wedding." "You and Gallo do overtime." " We need to watch the bulletin board?" "Yes, but you must also look for a Nicholas Lo Presti." "Come, I'll tell you everything." "Salvo!" " You're drinking!" "Where's Livia?" " In the other room." " Doing the math!" "Hello!" " Hello." " What are you doing here?" " What are you doing here?" "It's all right." " It's all right?" "Yes." "Mimi asked me for advice for the renovation of his house." "He knows that I work in an architecture studio." "It's all right." "Sorry." " Salvo!" "Maybe it's better if I call another architect." " I think so." "Catarella!" "Is Fazio here?" " No, Doctor." "He's on a stakeout with Gallo." "Paterno?" " Has the flu." "There's no one in the police station?" " Just the two of us, doctor." "OK, come with me." "Close everything." "I'll wait outside." "Catarella, this is a secret that must remain between you and me." "I must not tell anyone." " I'm excited." " Why?" "We have two shared secrets." "Doctor, can you explain the nature the second secret?" "We need to go see something the carabinieri must do." "An arrest." " Why do we care what the carabinieri are doing?" "I can't tell you, it's a secret!" " All right, Doctor." "Get the binoculars." "Please, Doctor." "What is it, Catarella?" " I'm allergic to mint." "So why did you take it?" " To keep you company." " Are you crazy?" "Spit!" "It can put you into anaphylactic shock." " It happened to me once." "You went to the hospital?" " Sure." " Have you relapsed!" "They took me for ... for hair." " Yes, for the hair." "What's happening?" " It's the carabinieri." "Bravo, sergeant." "The gate keeper is in the cage, so he talks." "Watch as they try to escape!" "They are making their appeal." "Now take them away." "Why only two?" "The third is missing." " Maybe he ran away." " It's possible." "They're leaving?" "Whose car is this?" "Sergeant, it's Montalbano." "I just called." "I was told you were out." "I went ..." " You have more news?" "What should I know?" "You must tell me." "Commissioner, your binoculars reflected." "You want to know where I parked the car?" " It isn't necessary." "Cosa, that is, the perpetrator of the crimes, has fled." " What?" "Maybe he ran when he heard our sirens." "He'll be far away by now." "His buddies said that?" " No." "But the watchman is talking." " This time, Zuscesce has come to the end." " It will be worse for him." "Sure." " Can you tell me something?" " Sure." "What is Dimora's license plate number?" " Why do you want to know?" "Out of curiosity." " ML876583." "Thank you." "Doctor, you told me to keep a watch on that car." "At some point, someone arrived." " Are you sure?" "Yes, doctor." "You want the binoculars?" " Yes" "Shit." "Where does that road go?" " To Gallotta." "We're going to follow him." "Take a look down there." "Doctor, nothing!" "There's the car." "Maybe he's inside." "Cover me." "No one." "Watch out!" "I knew he was hiding at the site." "I didn't seize the car because I left it as bait." "I knew he was there." " I had to shoot him." "Did anybody see you?" " I don't think so." "The windows were closed." "They probably preferred to be asleep." " Better so." "Now go." "You shouldn't be involved." "I'll say that I killed him." "The two accomplices have both confessed that it was Zuscesce who ordered the murders." "I think even with his political connections, he won't be able to cope." "I can take responsibility for the death of the murderer." "I had to shoot to save one of my men." "Why do this for me?" "You deserve it." "You always knew I was sick, right?" "No." "But this is an important case that occurs only once in a lifetime." "Yes, that's true." "I wanted to finish it." "And so you will." "Good luck, sergeant." " Thanks." "Catarella!" "It's all happened just as in that prophetic dream I had." "It 's amazing!" "My skin is still tingling." "Doctor, this is our third secret." "Unfortunately yes, Catarella." "They wanted to intimidate your father to force him to sell to Scipio." "We have nothing to fear." " For the moment no." "Be careful with your father, this thing will come out sooner or later." "I'll try to keep him away from TV and newspapers." "Have a good day." "Good day to you." "Come in!" "Good morning, Commissioner." " Good morning." "Another night in black and without results." "We must try Nicola Lo Presti." "We did some investigation, but haven't found him." "If Jalma is married, he must resign himself." "The marriage between Jalma and Salvatore Lumja is set for today." "What time is the wedding?" " At 11." "Come with me." "Where's Lumja?" " With Salvatore?" " Yes" " He stayed with his brother." "Why?" "The groom must not see the bride on her wedding day." "It's bad luck." " Jalma is alone?" " Sure." "But who are you?" "Why?" " A piece of shit like Lo Presti doesn't give up." "Nooo!" "Freeze, police!" "Stop, Lo Presti!" "Drop the gun and don't move." "He wanted to disfigure me." " It 's all over." "How can I?" "I can't get married like this." "Go get ready." " Salvatore will expect me in the hall." " It doesn't matter." "The groom has to wait for the bride!" " Thank you, Commissioner." "Sorry about yesterday, I was ridiculous." "English Subtitles by genew"
