"CONVOY BUSTERS" "We didn't find her purse, Inspector we looked everywhere, but we didn't find anything..." "I live there since my wife passed away..." "Here's the doctor, Inspector..." "The city council doesn't want to assign me a home they say I'm crazy... why, am I crazy just because I sleep under a bridge?" "I tried to speak with the asylum doctors, they kept me inside for 2 years then my wife died, what could I do?" "Now I live here, by myself do you think I'm crazy?" " No, you're not..." "See, even the Inspector said that..." "I'm not crazy!" "So?" "He used a sharp weapon, he slashed her carotid artery he's not an amateur, this seems like the work of a professional." "Cover her." "I have a good memory for faces, Inspector they were arguing right in front of my gas station I can't say I heard what they were saying, I'm hard of hearing..." "They were two girls, the dead one and a friend, and there was a boy too they were about sixteen years old when he was about to leave, the two girls started arguing..." "Well, it seemed to me like one of the girls pushed the other inside the car..." "Since these are violent times, I decided to memorize the plate number 557962..." "And this morning, when I saw Midori's picture in the paper I recognized her instantly..." ""Damn", I thought, "she's the girl I saw the other day!"..." "I'm not mistaken, Inspector..." "This is the car's registration number." "Mancini, please trace this Fiat 500..." "the registration number is 55796, Rome..." "Sure..." "Thank you, you've been very helpful..." "I was born in 1914, but I still have good memory and good eyes..." "What's your name, again?" "My name's Giuseppe Caratona and my gas station is in Piazza Galeno 32, Rome..." "Thank you, you may go..." " Oh... this is for the press, right?" " Sorry?" " For the papers, isn't it?" " Oh, yeah, sure... have a nice day..." " The same to you..." " What's up?" "They found a carbonized corpse in Castel Fusano..." "Get the car, I'm coming..." "My Augusto was a good boy..." "why did they kill him?" "Why?" "!" "To kill him in that way..." "You're southern, aren't you?" "We're Calabrian Augusto was 5 years old, when we came here to Rome... ; ; ; my poor son; ; ;" "my only son... ; ; ; my poor son; ; ;" "my only son..." "How long had your son been engaged to Maria?" "We didn't even know that they were engaged he knew Maria because she lives nearby he used to hang around with her and another girl named Loredana he used to hang around with her and another girl named Loredana..." "Did Augusto ever tell you that he wanted to go live on his own?" "Sometimes, when he argued with his father, he used to say that he wanted to marry, that he wanted to leave this house..." "but he had a good heart..." "This picture could be useful for the investigation..." " Can I take it?" " Augusto... my son!" " Can I take it?" " Augusto... my son!" "Holy Mother..." "Who could have killed him?" " Unfortunately, we don't know yet..." " This fuckin' city killed him..." " Unfortunately, we don't know yet..." " This fuckin' city killed him..." "This fuckin' city killed him..." "This fuckin' city killed him..." "When I tell my lawyer, you'll be in deep shit!" "Your lawyer will be here in an hour meanwhile I'm gonna beat the shit out of you." "I already told you, I don't know anything!" "I already told you, I don't know anything!" " You were seen with Augusto." " It's not true!" " I have a witness." " Alright, I was there..." "That prick Augusto wanted me to show him the place where Maria used too meet... the other guy." " What do you mean "the other guy"?" " Maria had another boyfriend a guy with a black Volkswagen and a lot of money a guy with a black Volkswagen and a lot of money..." "As soon as I introduced her she was ready to get in with him..." " Who is he?" " I told you, he's a rich guy." "Gimme his name." "Alright..." "I don't care about him, anyway..." "Alright..." "I don't care about him, anyway his name's Marcello..." "Marcello Degan." "Is he related to the customs chief at Fiumicino airport?" "He's his son." "Now, do you see why Maria dumped Augusto?" "I wanted to get out of the shit, but she sent me back into it..." "I wanted to get out of the shit, but she sent me back into it..." "If you talk, you can still get out of it..." "I don't know anything else..." "that night, they left me home I don't know what happened next..." "I'm gonna tell you what." "Maria was killed, and Augusto..." "You're starting over again?" "I already know this I read about it in the papers..." "Why didn't you just come here on your own then?" "Come on, tell me!" "Why didn't you just come here on your own then?" "Come on, tell me!" "I... didn't want any trouble..." "When they came to get you, you were packing..." "You wanted to run away, didn't you?" "Why?" "I'm afraid, Inspector..." "I'm afraid..." " They threatened to kill me like Maria!" " Who threatened you?" "!" "I don't know..." "I don't know who he is..." "A guy called me several times he told me it would be better if I ran he also told me not to worry..." "Yesterday I received an envelope with some money in it..." "Yesterday I received an envelope with some money in it that's all..." "There's only one trail to follow and it leads straight to Degan..." "After he killed Maria and Augusto you were the only one left who knew about him you were the only one left who knew about him..." "I can't believe Marcello did it..." " Marcello's just a patsy." " There were others with him." "Listen, Loredana... you must help me..." "Listen, Loredana... you must help me you have to call Degan... and tell him that the money he sent you is not enough..." "and you want more... a lot more!" "What if he's innocent?" "If he's innocent..." "he'll tell you that you're crazy..." "But if he's guilty..." "This time it didn't work, eh?" " Who was your accomplice?" " I don't know..." " Who hired you to do this job?" " I only know he has a black Volkswagen." "I know who sent you but I want to hear you say it..." "What a bore, guys..." "I told you that you and Patrizia wouldn't last..." " Yeah, and now we're stuck here..." " Stop talking about that bitch!" " Yeah, and now we're stuck here..." " Stop talking about that bitch!" " Hi!" " Hi." " Where do we go tonight?" "Lillo's place?" " Again?" "I don't like the idea..." " Me neither..." " Why don't we go to the "Skate"?" "And where do we go tomorrow night?" "Whose car is this?" "Guys, do you know whose is this?" " Are you sure?" " Noooo..." "Hey!" "Are you crazy, man?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Now you'll repay me or I'll call the police!" " I'm Inspector Olmi..." " Are you a cop?" " Let me go!" "There's a mistake!" " Calm down!" "Are you Marcello Degan?" " Yes, I am, but I didn't do anything..." " Oh, yes, you did..." " Take him..." " No, stop, I want to call my father!" "I didn't do anything..." "I have the right to make a phone call!" "I didn't do anything..." "I have the right to make a phone call!" "Let me go!" " Come on, talk to me!" " Please, I don't know anything!" " Oh, you don't know anything?" "!" " Please, Inspector, stop!" "Sometimes he really goes too far..." "Yeah, and sometimes we get in trouble because of his manners!" "It was all my father..." "It was all my father he hired some professionals..." "but I didn't want to, I swear!" "He didn't want to listen to me..." "So he almost committed three murders... why?" "!" "Because Maria she accidentally heard a phone call he made, and she learned that..." "What did she learn?" "What did she learn?" "I don't know..." "Spit it out!" "She learned that my father exploits his position at the customs office to traffic in diamonds." "That night I brought her home with me and when I told him that Maria heard the phone call, he got very angry..." "I told him that she wouldn't talk to anyone..." "I told him that she wouldn't talk to anyone but he had her murdered and then Augusto too, because he knew about me and Maria..." "That was easy, wasn't it?" "Alright now we can go to the station, call your lawyer and do everything by the book... happy?" "...by the book... happy?" "Come with me." " Are you kidding me, Inspector?" " Ask Judge Garganese if this is a joke." "He signed the warrant." "Garganese couldn't have done this to me this must be a mistake this must be a mistake..." "Don't worry, this isn't a mistake..." "You're just a government official, and this is way out of your league..." "You may be right, but now you must come with me outside there's a car waiting for us..." "Perhaps you don't know that I have friends in high places..." "Perhaps you don't know that I have friends in high places I'll make a phone call after which, you'll be leaving my office alone..." "Very good but we only needed your son..." "and we got him." "My son?" "!" "You dared to arrest my son?" "!" "If you touched a hair on his head..." "Stop acting, Degan..." "you're a murderer..." "Stop acting, Degan..." "you're a murderer your son confessed everything." " What did he confess?" "Go on, make yourself clear..." "Spare me your bad cop routine!" "This is how I deal with criminals especially your kind especially your kind..." " Good morning, Inspector..." " Hi!" " Does this scale tell the truth?" " It just knocks off a couple pounds..." " Does this scale tell the truth?" " It just knocks off a couple pounds..." "Oh, I see..." "What would you like to eat today, Inspector?" "What would you like to eat today, Inspector?" "Well, I see that there isn't much left..." "The good stuff is right in front of you, Inspector..." "Sure, but..." "I can't put it on a tray..." "You would need a double one..." " That's a good idea..." " Do you come here just to eat?" "If I only could!" "Look, would you like something made especially for you?" " You bet I'd like it!" " Then I'll make you some spaghetti..." " Wait!" " Yes?" " With garlic and oil, right?" " Sure..." " You're an angel!" " I'd do anything for you, Inspector..." " Well, then..." " Yes?" " Put some hot peppers in it, too..." " Alright..." " Put some hot peppers in it, too..." " Alright..." "Cops and reporters are always the last to eat..." "Speak for yourself, today I was early..." "So, how are you doing?" "Is the crime rate still raising?" "Of course, so you reporters have more to write about..." "Of course, so you reporters have more to write about..." "At least we have something to do..." "But while we're writing what are you doing, exactly?" "We're reading the bullshit you wrote the day before, alright?" "In the meantime, crime rages on, people starve and the police raise the white flag." "It's easy to talk..." "It's easy to talk when you're safe behind a typewriter..." "Well, you fight against criminals, but just the small fish the big ones, you leave them alone..." "I recently spotted a big fish and I caught him." " Who is he?" "Degan?" "Yes." "Why, isn't he big enough?" "Yes." "Why, isn't he big enough?" "Sure he is... he's so big that you had to throw him back in the water..." "See?" "You're always talking crap!" "Look, the news about Degan's release was in every paper this morning I thought you knew..." "I don't read the papers..." "Too bad for you..." "his son un-incriminated him." "Too bad for you..." "his son un-incriminated him." "Under interrogation he admitted he had Maria and Augusto killed because he was jealous." "So the judge withdrew Degan's passport and he released him." " Judge Garganese, right?" " You're right, it was him." "Here's the spaghetti for my handsome Capt where is he?" "Mr. Mario, have you seen Inspector Olmi?" "I may not be handsome, but I'm hungry..." "Here I am... sit down, please..." "Thank you." "I was about to call you, then I heard you were already here..." " I'm here for the Degan case..." " I know, I won't take much of your time." "I must tell you..." "I'm very disappointed in you..." "You made a fool of me..." " Judge Garganese..." " Let me speak." " Judge Garganese..." " Let me speak." "You exploited my trust making me sign a warrant based on a deposition that you squeezed out with violence, in spite of all the rules!" "I must tell you now your methods are quite embarassing." "They're the only methods I know..." "Olmi..." "I have some advice for you..." "If you want to keep your job you should change your ways." "They don't honor either the police... or justice." "If justice allows a criminal like Degan to move around freely to move around freely it couldn't be more dishonored." "You don't have any evidence against Degan!" "His son confessed..." " Then he retracted his confession." " He lied." " Then he retracted his confession." " He lied." "It's Degan's word against yours." "Exactly." "And you chose to believe his." "Who knows why?" "Have a nice day, judge." "Why don't you take a leave?" "Why don't you take a leave?" "I fail to see the point..." "Just the time to let Judge Garganese calm down..." "Unless you fire me, chief I'm staying here." "But not in Homicide, Olmi..." "But not in Homicide, Olmi you're too heavy-handed for the job." "You'll work in the emergency squad..." "the front line, that's the place for you." "I hope it'll teach you something." "Alright." "I believe in my work." "You're no longer in Homicide, Inspector if my boss finds out I'm working for you, I'll be in deep trouble..." "Anyway, Degan met a jeweller called Navone in..." "Inspector, Officer Burlini's on the phone..." "Inspector, Officer Burlini's on the phone..." "Just a moment..." " Well?" " I'm in a farmhouse on the Aurelia Road." "Alright..." "I'll be right there." "Let 'em through..." "The farmhouse should be around here..." " Here it is." " Yes, I see it..." "Alright, let's land there, there's an open space..." " It seems to be abandoned..." " Go down..." "I want to check it out." "Good morning..." "why did you stop us?" "Better to be careful, these days..." "I'm Marshal Moroni, we're transferring a prisoner..." "Let 'em through..." "Headquarters, we've been attacked they're getting away in a police car and they're wearing police uniforms..." "Attention, calling all cars head for the Salaria Road, 16 klics from the Urbe Airport a Carabinieri convoy has been slaughtered by a band of criminals who've fled in a police car disguised as policemen..." "I repeat... calling all cars head for the Salaria Road, 16 klics from the Urbe Airport..." "These men are dangerous criminals..." "you're authorized to shoot on sight..." "This is Inspector Olmi on Poli 20..." "Go on, Inspector, we're listening..." "We're heading for the zone, we're already over the Salaria Road..." "How many are they?" "No official information, but since they're in a squad car they can't be more than 5..." "The Carabinieri convoy was escorting a dangerous criminal..." "Come on, hurry up!" "Take those uniforms off!" "Look, down there!" "That's the carabinieri car..." "They'd set up a roadblock..." "It'll be difficult to get them..." "We've found the carabinieri car it's about 3 klics from the Salaria Road crossing..." "We made it, didn't we?" "They must be on this road, there's no other way..." "Look, down there..." "it's the police car..." "There's no one around it..." "they must've changed cars..." "Fly higher..." "This is squad car 7, we've reached the carabinieri car there's only one survivor, but he's seriously hurt..." "That van, is the only vehicle around..." "Go down, to the left..." "Maybe they ran away on foot through the fields..." "Go down and get close to it, let's see how the van reacts..." "What's this?" " There's a police helicopter!" " Fuck... shoot them!" "Shoot!" "Hey... see, it's them!" "Go down again, but on the driver's side..." " Alright, Inspector..." " Help me to open the door..." "Get in their way..." "Now, get in their way!" "Look out!" "You got him, Inspector!" "You got him!" "Hurry... hurry!" "Let's split up!" "I want to make clear that..." "Come on, shut up and let him talk!" "Go on, sir..." "I want to make clear that the recent police operations didn't involve the use of any extraordinary measures..." "The increase of the crime rate brought us to the highest level of..." "Look, there's Inspector Olmi..." "It was just a standard police operation." "An operation which made use of the best men we have at our disposal who behaved in a very..." "Come here, Inspector, come here..." "It's with you that they want to talk..." "We heard that you shot the criminals from a helicopter and that they shot back..." "Now, we'd like to know what..." " When did you leave Homicide?" " Tell us the facts, Inspector..." "Did you personally request the transfer?" "Would you care to comment?" "I don't have anything to declare, it was a standard operation..." "But you used excessive violence..." "Is it true that the carabinieri didn't have time to defend themselves?" "How did you know that the criminals were in that van?" "What are the criminals' names?" "How many of them have been arrested, Inspector?" "They were dangerous criminals what else could I have done?" "Do you want to replace the judges, now?" "No I just want to help them." "One last question, Inspector..." "After the boy's confession, is the Degan case definitely closed?" "Yes but not for me." "Inform Inspector Olmi that the criminals have been located in a farmhouse at the 72nd kilometer of theTuscolana Road." "Hello?" "On theTuscolana Road?" "Perfect, I'll be right there." "To squad cars 7, 5, 22 and 35 put yourself at the disposal of Inspector Olmi..." "I repeat, squad cars 7, 5, 22 and 35 put yourself at the disposal of Inspector Olmi..." "Immediate exit..." "I repeat, immediate exit..." "Police!" "Freeze!" "Big fella, small brain." "Go on..." "Cuff him." "Take it easy, man..." " She's wounded, call an ambulance..." " No need, it's just a scratch." " Come on, move..." " Keep your hands off, asshole!" "Tough luck, eh?" "Well?" "Here, Inspector, there's all the evidence you're gonna need with these documents you'll be able to prosecute Degan..." "You were right, he's involved in diamond smuggling..." "I knew it..." "Yeah." "Go now, I don't want anyone to see us together..." "Goodnight, Inspector..." "Crush him!" "Quick, back up!" "I can't open the door... we're stuck!" "Come on, break the windshield!" "Shoot... shoot him!" "Help me... help me!" "Help!" "Oh my god... mother!" "Help me!" "On the phone, you didn't tell me what it was about..." "Didn't I?" "Strange, I was sure that..." "Well, maybe I'm still confused..." "Last night I had an accident, maybe you heard about it..." "Yes, yes, I know..." "back to Degan, now..." "I must tell you that you're not the one I chose to take care of this case..." "I know." "Then, you also know that I have no right to meddle with the case..." " I know the procedure." " Then what do you want from me?" "A warrant for Degan's arrest." "For an attempt on your life?" "!" "No for smuggling and trafficking diamonds." "I had him tailed by one of my men, he collected enough evidence to charge him..." "Yes, I see..." "Excellent work." "Come back later, I'll let you have the warrant..." "Why, can't I have it now?" "No, I'd like to carefully examine your report..." "What's the matter?" "Are you afraid he could get away?" "Relax, Olmi... we have his passport he can't go anywhere..." "I hope so." "Artiglio Aerial Club, can I help you?" "May I speak with Pietro, please?" "We must be out of here by five." "Hi Pietro, Mr. Degan wants the plane ready to take off at five o'clock." "Yes, I'll wait for your confirmation..." "Send a telex to Zurich, tell them I'll be there tonight..." "It's alright, the plane will be ready at five o'clock." "Thanks." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Judge Garganese, please." "He's in a meeting, he'll be busy for an hour or so..." " Did you have an appointment?" " Yes." "Please, take seat..." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "Hello?" "No, sir, Judge Garganese isn't in... ; ; ; no, no; ; ;" "he' won't be back in today..." "Yes, he took the afternoon off..." "As you prefer, sir..." "Alright, sir..." "MR. DEGAN IS GOINGTO TAKE OFF FROM THE ARTIGLIO AERIAL CLUB AT 5" " Thanks..." " Shouldn't I come with you, sir?" "What if the police question me?" "Excuse me, sir..." " Oh, Olmi..." " I've tried to contact you for 3 days!" " Tell me, what do you need?" " Somebody warned Degan, he got away..." " Any suspects?" " Yes Judge Garganese." " I'm sorry?" "Wait!" "Olmi, do you realize what you're saying?" "It couldn't be anyone else..." "Do you have any evidence?" "I could easily find some..." "And throw the whole judicial system into turmoil?" "Do it if you want... but I warn you they will destroy you, Olmi..." "It's a matter of principle of class you'll crash against a wall..." "I've fucked up once again, haven't I?" "I understand your disappointment..." "I want to be transferred, the further away, the better this city is not for me anymore..." " We'll miss you, Inspector Olmi." "CIVITANOVA MARCHE SEASIDE RESORT" " Everybody freeze, this is a robbery!" " Fuck you, idiot!" "What a shit joke!" "Has the new Inspector arrived?" "He'll be here any minute now..." "Peace is over, my friend, they say he's a tough guy..." "Was his transfer here requested, or was he sent here as a punishment?" "He requested it..." "To me, it looks like a punishment..." "So, sending him here, they're punishing us too..." "Yes, you're right..." "Accept it, with this one, you won't be doing whatever you want to like you used to do with the last one..." "I could always try!" "Good morning..." " You're Ballarin, I suppose..." " Yes, may I help you?" "I'm Inspector Olmi..." " Good morning, Inspector..." " Welcome..." " Come with me..." " Yes, Inspector." "By the way, officer... if I was in your shoes, I wouldn't even try." "Watch your mouth, buddy..." "Tell me, Sergeant..." "are there any urgent matters?" "No, sir... we only have boredom to deal with..." "So, we'll have to fight against it..." "You're right, it will be a difficult battle..." " At least we'll fight it together..." " I hope we'll win." "A cappuccino, please..." "Right away, miss..." "Here she is..." "like I told you, she comes here quite often..." "Yeah... you were right..." " And she's always alone..." " Maybe she's looking for it..." " Do you think so?" " Yeah... you know what?" "I'm going to give it a try..." " Here you are, Miss..." " Thank you." " Watch this, guys..." " Let's watch this fiasco." "You shut up..." "Easy!" " Get away, or you'll be in trouble..." " What do you want?" "!" "Hi, I'm Francesco Olmi..." "Back off, kid!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Police?" "There's a brawl at the Lampara Bar!" "Stop it now..." "stop it, you're destroying my place!" " Inspector Olmi?" " Oh, good you were quick..." "almost in time..." " Take them to the station..." " No, no, it's alright..." "I think they've learned their lesson..." " You may go, now..." " Alright sir, see you later..." "Look at this mess!" "So, you're a cop..." " Are you disappointed?" " Just surprised." "I thought that all cops were short and dark haired..." " How much?" " 250, Miss..." "Don't worry about the damages, sir..." "Oh, let me pay for you..." "Do you think you can get away with so little?" "Just until the next occasion..." "You could take me out to dinner..." " Maybe tomorrow night..." " No, no, no tonight!" "Alright." "I couldn't live in Turin anymore, they even threatened me!" " Because of that child?" " Yes... he was different he was a maladjusted child..." "He just needed some affection but the other mothers attacked me because I accepted him in my class..." "People talk, they're all so sympathetic but only when they're not directly involved..." "I'm out of breath!" "What's this cypress doing up here?" "!" "Legend has it that a crusader brought a seed back from the holy land and planted it here." "Come look at the view!" "Do you believe in fate?" "No..." "Neither do I." "Then why'd you ask me?" "It's funny..." "I left Rome for reasons similar to yours..." "Because of a maladjusted child?" "No... a lot of maldjusted adults." "What a fool I am, I even tried to fight them..." "But it's your duty, isn't it?" "No... my duty is to fight criminals but I only fought the small fish and in the end, I ran away like a coward." "I know the feeling..." "I ran away too." "What else could we do?" "And still..." "we could have done something we could have stayed." " Would you like to check the papers, sir?" " No, thanks, just leave them there..." "Alright..." "It's enough to read them once a month, they always write the same bullshit..." "Look at those rich guys..." "I've seen that boat many times before..." "do you know who it belongs to?" "Oh, that one?" "It belongs to a guy called Gorchi." "Gorchi?" "Oh, the publisher..." "I don't know if he's a publisher, but he's definitely rich..." " Well, those lucky publishers!" " Yeah, lucky them!" "We picked the wrong profession!" "Would you like me to clean it, sir?" "It's been closed up in there for a long time..." "No, no... thanks..." "I'd like to go fishing, one day..." " The sea is beautiful, today..." " Really beautiful!" "Good morning, Inspector..." "good morning, signorina!" "Good catch, eh?" "Look at these fish!" " So, what can I offer you?" " Well, actually..." " Anna, do you want some fish?" " Let's see... what do you have?" "This one's good... and this..." "Alright, Angelo, give me some mixture for frying..." "Quinto, bring me a bag!" "These are fresh, while these are from yesterday..." " If you want to choose..." " No, please, choose for me." "Angelo, this fish doesn't come from the Adriatic..." "Well, I know, but... you know, sometimes fish get carried by the current..." " How much?" " Are you kidding me?" " No, please..." " It's on me, don't worry..." " Thank you..." " Thanks..." "Nice guy, this Angelo..." " It's freezing, here!" " It's pretty cold, yeah..." " Look... do you like it?" " Sure." "I've always dreamed of having one." " Very beautiful." " You mean the boat or the publisher?" "Well... the publisher, of course." "Stop!" "I have a family!" "I'm a good man!" "Holy Mother!" "They want to kill me!" "Please answer..." "I always have to do everything myself..." " Hello?" " Police!" "Come to the stadium!" "Some foreign guys are messing around on their bikes on the field!" "They want to kill me!" "Come here at once!" "Alright, calm down, we'll be there in a minute!" "Cut the crap, we have to go!" "Hurry up, those psychos are still inside!" " Inspector, they shot at me!" " Calm down... stay here..." " Don't worry..." " They're armed, please hurry!" "Aim for their tires..." "Be careful..." "Throw your gun down!" "Don't move..." "What's so funny?" "Asshole." " My motorcycle..." " You won't need it, in jail." "Where did you get this gun?" "Come on, where did you get it?" " I don't understand..." " Where did you get it?" " It's not mine... no..." " Speak up!" "On the beach..." " You know... near the river..." " Take the others away..." "Come with me..." "So?" "We found it down here..." " Take him away..." " Come on..." "Trucks never pass on that road, Inspector anyway, if you want to know about mine, you can speak with my manager..." "No, no..." "I'd prefer it if you'd do a little investigation yourself..." "Alright... if one of my trucks has a broken rear light, I'll let you know..." "Thank you." "When I saw that truck with a broken light, I immediately called you..." " Thank you." " I can't see why he passed by the beach." "The manager will have to explain this!" "If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to him..." "Sure, but I assure you that he's absolutely trustworthy I don't understand, he's been with us for many years..." "Anyway, the truck's the last one on the right." "Thanks." " They're huge monsters..." " Trucks must be big they travel for incredibly long distances..." " They travel everywhere, don't they?" " From one side of Europe to the other." "But they don't pass over that road near the beach..." "It's strange, because I found some traces there..." "What makes you think it was one of our trucks?" "Well, it was one of them this one." "Look..." "You understand, now?" "So?" "Not here, Inspector..." "I beg you, not here..." "I swear I don't have anything to do with this... they threatened me two guys came here and forced me to employ them as truck drivers..." " They traffic in weapons, don't they?" " Listen, I don't know..." "I only have to send them out when they tell me so..." " When would that be?" " Every friday night..." "Are these guys local?" "I never saw them before..." "What should I do now, Inspector?" "Just pretend nothing happened." "If they go out this Friday night you must let me know, immediately." " As you wish, Inspector... alright." "And now, "Sport Saturday"..." "Here..." "Oh, thank you..." "Are you interested in sports?" "I'm sorry?" "No, I was thinking about something else..." " Should I be jealous?" " Don't worry, it's just work..." "Did that shoot-out at the stadium lead to anything?" " Come on, tell me..." " Something's happening on the beach but I still don't know what." " Are you thinking about some traffic?" "Yeah... a traffic in weapons..." "In this town?" "Come on, they're probably just cigarettes..." "No, it's weapons..." "smuggled in from abroad..." "Just like those fish that they gave us at the port... remember?" "Is it possible?" "Hey, it's almost midnight..." "Are you waiting for a call?" "Yeah..." "Hey... she's for real!" "How do you think private networks get their audience?" "I bet this show will be very high in the ratings look at her!" " What about my show?" "Excuse me... hello?" "They already left?" "Ok, thanks..." "What... are you leaving?" "Was this the call you were waiting for?" "I'm going to check things out at the port..." " I'll be waiting for you." " No, no I'll be late." "When I'm done, I'll go straight home..." "Promise that you'll call me when you get home..." "I promise." " Good evening..." " Hi." "The trucks just left." "The fishing boats went out at sunset too do you really think that the trucks and the fishing boats are connected?" "I want to make sure that fishing is their real activity..." "Every morning they bring back lots of fish, there's no doubt about it..." "I want to see it with my own eyes, alright?" "Hello?" "Here he is." "Yes?" "Alright." "Yes, I see." "Let's suspend "Sweet Dreams" and put on a movie." "Ladies and gentlemen, we're sorry to inform you that we're have to interrupt "Sweet Dreams" to transmit the movie "A Love Like Ours"..." "We hope you'll enjoy it." " Let's go back." " What's up?" "The operation's suspended, tell the others..." "We're going back, the operation's suspended." " Hi, Inspector..." " Hi, Lieutenant..." "What are you doing here at this time of night?" " I'm hunting, how about you?" " We're fishing!" "Do you want to compete with us?" "How do you catch the fish?" "I don't see any nets!" "We haven't found the right spot yet, Inspector..." " I see." "Have a good catch!" " You too!" "Good night, Inspector!" " Are we going on the beach?" " No, we could find armed people, there." "Yeah, you're right!" "Giuseppe, let them know that the Inspector's gone!" "Damn, this step is high!" "You were right, Inspector, those pricks weren't fishing!" "They were waiting for the contact ship..." "The weapons are unloaded from the ship to the fishing boats then from the boats to the trucks." "How do they keep in contact?" "Not by radio, that's for sure, we would have intercepted them..." "I guess someone warned them some other way..." "Yeah, but I wonder how." "Let's go now..." "I'm gonna call Macerata's headquarters to request some men and Friday we'll go to the truck depot." "Look... what's that?" "What?" "There..." "That's the local TVstation antenna... why?" " It's pointed towards the sea." " Maybe for the fish..." " Hello?" " I'm a man of my word..." " Are you home?" " Yeah, safe and sound." " Are you still awake?" " Sure, I was waiting for your call." "Who's there with you?" "Nobody... what do you mean?" "I hear someone talking..." " It's theTV..." " Oh, is "Sweet Dreams" still on?" "No, shortly after you left it was interrupted they replaced it with a movie, but it's almost over..." "What, they "interrupted" it?" "Maybe someone protested this is not Rome or Milan, you know..." "Francesco, are you still there?" "Yes..." "look, I'll call you back soon..." "We now present "Sweet Dreams" which was interrupted earlier because of technical reasons." "We hope you enjoy it..." "Take the helm, Attilio..." "Approach the one on the left..." "go on, get close to it..." "Get close to it, come on..." "Go on, quick..." "Throw me the rope..." "Come on, pull it..." "Come on, keep pulling..." "Hurry up..." "Come on, move..." "The fish cases first, and then the weapons..." "Come on, hurry!" "Come on, guys, quicker!" "The contact ship has left, this is the last load for tonight." "Come on, yeah..." "Come on..." "Get a move on!" "Come on..." "We're almost finished..." "take them below deck, hurry!" "Come on, let's go!" " Bye!" " Bye!" " See ya next Friday!" " Let's go, Attilio!" "At full speed!" "Macerata sent us just 20 men..." "they'll be here in half an hour." "20 is enough." "Tonight you'll go to theTVstation I want everyone else guarding the port and the city exits." "Somebody must stay here to keep us all in contact, alright?" "Alright." " What do you want?" " Change the program, boy we don't like cartoons, we want to watch "Sweet Dreams', don't we?" " Yeah..." " I can't do it, with no authorization." "And anyway, "Sweet Dreams" goes on on Friday, at midnight!" "But we want it on Thursday at eleven it'll be a surprise!" "Go on." "Damn, I've had about enough of watching this shit every night!" " But they pay you to do it..." " Damn!" "We're sorry to interrupt this program we now present "Sweet Dreams"..." "See?" "Every night could be the night..." "go and give the signal..." "Let's pull up the nets..." ""Sweet Dreams" is on again!" "But today's not Friday!" "What do you care?" "Orders are orders!" "Pull up the nets!" " It's never happened on a Thursday!" " Must be a special load..." "Nobody's shown up in five hours!" "Hello..." "Did you take care of the weapons?" "Yes sir, the weapons are hidden..." "is the shipment tonight?" "No." " We have to wait for tomorrow's load." " Alright." "We'll do just one shipment, it's safer." "Sure." "What time will it be here?" "The usual time." "We'll have to be prepared." "Tomorrow night's load will be a big one." "So, we'll have to plan the timing." "Let's go..." "How will the boats get here, with this rough sea?" " By now it's day..." " You know what?" "I'm leaving..." "Yeah, let's go back to the depot and tell them that the boats didn't show up it's their problem, after all..." "The weapons are hidden inside oil drums, and they'll go out in three days." "What about tomorrow's load?" "It should be ready." "Then I'm gonna need 50 of these barrels to store the whole cargo." " Exactly." " Alright." "What's up?" "Go and take a look." "Did you fill up the tanks onboard?" "We'll have to make four trips back and forth..." " Yes I filled them up." " Good." "It's two trucks... they're ours." " What the hell are they doing here?" " I don't know, I'm gonna find out." "What are you doing here?" "!" " We received the signal." " What signal?" " The usual one, "Sweet Dreams"." " We didn't send out any order..." "Well, ask Giulio if you don't believe me..." "Giulio!" "Giulio?" "!" "Where is he?" " He's not here!" " Who drove the truck here, then?" "!" ""Sweet Dreams" was put on the air without our orders, and Giulio disappeared!" "If the TVstation crew did it without our orders it means they were forced to do so." "We've been uncovered!" " What do you mean, uncovered?" " They set us a trap, can't you see?" "It could've been a mistake, maybe they simply put on the wrong tape..." "Whoever sent out the signal..." "also came here with Giulio's truck!" "We just have to make it to the boat and get away!" "Let's go!" " Sandro, come with me!" " Hurry, let's go!" " Here they are, Inspector!" " Hold your fire, Ballarin there are too many civilians, here." "They can't go anywhere, we've trapped 'em." "Damn!" "We're fucked!" "Or maybe not..." "They're backing up..." "Yes, they're running away..." "Now they're turning right!" " Calling Patrol 1..." " Nothing here yet, Inspector." " Calling Patrol 2." " Road's blocked, but nobody's shown up." "Remember, I don't want any shooting, just let me know when you see them." " Calling Patrol 3." " Everything's quiet here, Inspector." " Ballarin?" " Yes, sir?" "Didn't you tell me they turned right, towards the Adriatic Road?" "Yes, sir..." " Calling Patrol 4." " Nothing here yet, Inspector." "Where the hell are they?" "Enough chattering now, and you, stop it too!" "Did you do your maths homework?" "Come on, let's go..." "Inspector!" "Sir!" "They took seven kids and their theacher hostage, at the elementary school!" " When?" " A few minutes ago!" "Make way!" "They're on the third floor..." "they want a car to reach the airport and a plane to take them abroad." "Macerata's police chief is on his way." "Yes, sir?" "Ballarin, listen..." "we can't wait for the police chief." "There are seven children, up there." " Keep an eye on them..." " Alright." " Well?" "Any news?" " No, nothing happened." " Did the inpector show up?" " No, he left." "Be quiet, children..." "nothing's gonna happen to you the most important thing is to stay calm, we'll all go home soon." "Did you hear what they said?" "They just want a car..." " I'm scared, teacher!" " Me too!" " Leave her alone!" " Let her go!" "What's happening?" " Let me go!" " What's happening?" "!" "You idiot!" "Be quiet, nothing's happened!" "Don't ever try that again, Gorchi!" "I won't take orders from you anymore!" "Is that clear?" "Oh, really?" "Do you think that you could get out of here, without me?" "Don't ever try these kind of tricks with me again!" " Take it up, now." " Alright." "Go..." "THE END"
