"We found the girl disappeared 10 days ago." "Mommy..." "There are no traces of seminal fluid or saliva." "Children's nails and teeth..." "He always tears them out." "He acts carefully so that no one can discover his identity and it gives him confidence." "Loredana Muzi, age 10." "Alfredo Giuletti, age 9." "Anna Sabatini, age 9." "Gianandrea Rivoli, age 7." "Federico Pugliesi, age 9." "And last night" "Arianna DE Martino, age 6." "6 children in one year, all raped, cut to pieces and thrown into garbage bags." "No traces found, no marks." "Only the same gruesome ritual." "From what I've seen until now he's a habitual, violent pedophile." "He consumes the sexual act completely." "He carries out serial acts and feels stronger every time he succeeds." "The rapes are all organized, he never rapes occasionally." "He chooses the victims carefully, he rapes them and then he eliminates them." "Do you think he's planning more?" "He destroys his victims psychologically." "They're enchanted by him, they protect him." "It's impossible to catch him in the act." "The only thing we can do is find out when he starts enticing them." "Until now they all disappeared when coming out of school." "We've posted officers incognito at school entrances." "They take notice of and photograph any suspicious behaviour." "The first photos are almost ready." " Doctor, do you have a second?" " Of course." "What's up'!" "I was entrusted in this inquiry 6 months ago." "Since then, my life has changed." "Every time I see a child, I feel" "I feel I owe him something." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Darling?" "Are you at home?" "Hi!" " Honey!" "Happy anniversary" "Thank you." "Sit down." "Come on, let's open it!" "It's beautiful!" "Thank you." " Put it on my finger." " Okay." " There you go." " It's perfect!" " I love you." " I love you too." "Hi." "Any news?" " Did you finish your courses?" " Yes, why?" "I'll take you home." "Last year we caught a big burglar without an inquiry." "He was so clever, we lost track of him." "Then one evening, a patrol stops a car, driven by an engineer." "His brake-lights weren't working." "The driver seemed a bit too nervous." "The officers search his car and they find equipment and plans for robbing a security van." "He was planning another robbery but he was betrayed by his brake-lights." "You mean we should pray that our psychopath gets a ticket?" "Well, I'm afraid so." "A "psychopath"." "You psychiatrists can change reality with your terms." "That guy's a pedophile, a beast who kills kids and cuts them to pieces." "You said it:" "I'm a psychiatrist, inspector." "Your beast must stand trial and be condemned for his crimes." "But that man has mental disorder and I must also supply answers." " The answer is 6 dead children!" " No, you're wrong!" "They are the question: why?" "He asks himself the same question every time he rapes a kid." "We'll stop him when we have an answer." "I've been dealing with minors since 8 years." "I arrested maniacs, pornographers, the dregs of society." "Some were released for expiration of time, others for the lack of proof." "It's not mentally insane who makes all that turnover go round." "Those are beasts!" "Are you listening to me?" "Your anger will take you nowhere." "It's Russo, the condominium manager." "What's wrong, madam?" "Yes, the infiltration problem is settled." "We'll talk about it tomorrow." "Yes, at residents' meeting." " See you tomorrow." " Yes, darling." "Of course." "Yes?" "Hi, Mr. Cortesi." "What's wrong?" "The electrician will be at the meeting." "You're welcome." "We went to the oncological department at the children's hospital." "Those poor children!" "Their eyes, all without hair." "A sad sight." "There's no place for the mothers to sleep." "Hold on a second." "Andrea, go wash your hands, dinner's ready." " Sorry." " Yes, mommy." "I wanted to organize a dinner at the club." "What do you think?" "Of course, yes." "So we can make everyone aware of it" "Are you coming tomorrow evening?" "What are you going to wear?" "Black satin trousers?" "The ones with spangles?" "No, they're out and don't suit you." "Excuse me." "Andrea, dinner's ready!" "No, I'm going to wear a bright dress." "Stop it!" "Nonsense!" "I'm not a teenager any more." "I'll call you back later." "Yes." "Bye." "May I come in?" "Since we have work to do, you don't have time to cook." " You don't trust my cooking?" " No, on the contrary." "I thought it'd be more practical, since we have to look at 200 photos." "If you want me to try your cooking you can invite me to supper." "What's better, a cocktail or a dinner?" "Yes, so do I. Will you help me with the guest list?" "They might be rich." "Today I drew the sea, like the one at grandparents' place." "Tell me if you notice the difference." " Madam, I've finished." "May I go?" " Alright." " Come on, dad, it's not difficult." " Yes." "We'll continue tomorrow." "Alright." "Alright." "Bye." "Come on, dad, it's not difficult." "A boat." "At grandparents' there's no boat." "He's not here." "Nor here." "But he's here." "I have him in five different schools." "Look here." "Look at what he's holding." "What's up'!" "I'm going to check if he's registered." "I'll come with you." " THE FAKE MEMORY " "Come here." "Look at me when I'm speaking!" "You bastard!" "Call mommy, but she won't come." "You shithead!" "I'm the boss here, understood?" "Stop owing." "You're getting my balls wet." "Come on." "Suck it." "Good boy." "Suck it!" " Did you bring your sandwich?" " Yes." "I was photographing my niece, you can check!" "Do you have nephews in other schools, too?" "Why does my client have to supply details on acts that are not criminal?" "I'm not saying Mr. Pilade is involved in criminal acts." "But what was he doing outside the schools?" "I'm a photographer and it's nice to photograph children." "Some photograph monuments or sunsets." "I like the happiness in children." "I get on well with my niece." "Ask my sister." "Rieti... 1998." "What does it remind you of?" "Look at me!" "You took photos of the murdered Martino twins." "Their parents asked me to!" "I'm a wedding photographer." "You bloody asshole!" "Two naked children tied to a bed!" "Watch your language and let go of my client!" "He had nothing to do with the murder!" "It was proven!" "He wasn't there when they were killed, but when they were abused?" " I wasn't in Italy, it was proven!" " Proven?" "Fuck it!" "Your only alibi is the testimony of a dickhead!" "Enough, I said!" "In his car they found hundreds of photos." "And it's nothing to do with weddings." "The inspector and I are going for a coffee." "When we come back we'd like to hear more interesting things." "Here you are!" "Sorry, I'm late." "Let's go." "We have to hurry up" " You're always late!" " That's not true, madam." "Don't say anything!" "Go hang out the washing now." "Cool!" "Let's play with it!" "Hello!" "No, you're not disturbing me." "I just got home." "So..." "You handed over the photos and then what happened?" "No, I didn't hand them over." "I left them under a stone." " And the money?" " I already told you." "Well, tell us again." "I go to the park, to the bench near the fountain." "There is a newspaper under the bench." "The money is in it." "Then I go to the hedge nearby and hide the photos under a stone." "Then he passes by and takes them." " He?" " What?" "You said "he"." "Who is he?" "No, I meant "anyone"." ""He", "someone"..." "would've picked up the photos!" "What do you want from me?" "You said you didn't know who would have picked them up." "Now tell us who "he" is!" " Lawyer..." " Pilade, you're in trouble." "The photos and the money were hidden in your shop." "I can arrest you." "I've nothing to do with the kids, I'm a photographer!" "But you sell them!" "And they pay you well." "Tell us who he is." "Armando, you must tell the truth." " You helped kill some children." " That's not true!" "He's a distinguished man." "He lives in a building behind the park." "He's married." "I think he has no children." "Ring the bell." "Can I help you?" "May I sit down?" "If you're waiting for a child, they've all gone." "No, I'm just resting." " Do you ever go to the seaside?" " Sometimes." "I'm going to my grandparents' place." "Do they live by the sea?" "They're here." "Can I see it?" "Very nice." "A boat!" "Is it your grandparents'?" " It's my grandfather's." " Excellent." "You're very good at drawing" "Can I see the other ones?" "Very good indeed" "Very good" "When do you draw all these pictures?" "Always, even when I'm waiting for Tamara." " It's late, I must go." "Bye." " Bye." "I'm sorry, I'm late again." "Come on, let's go." "Quickly." "You won't tell mommy, will you?" " Good morning, Mr. Russo." " Oh, good day!" "The ideal children live in broken up families." "They're vulnerable, alone..." "They need attention." "Did you ever threaten them?" "Kittens are very important" "When you take a child home, a kitten should always be waiting." "You introduce him as a friend." "You let him play with it, make him stroke it, see how it drinks milk." "The child must grow fond of it." "Then you pick up the kitten and while the child looks at you joyfully" "you break the kitten's neck." "The child sees the dead kitten, the friend he can't play with any more." "He remains breathless and you tell him sweetly:" ""if you aren't good to me,"" ""the same thing will happen to your mom and dad."" ""if you tell someone what we do,"" ""remember the kitten and your mom."" "Yes, I always threaten them." "How many children did you kill, professor?" "It's all in my records, in the basement." "You'll find everything you need photos, films, diaries." "Inspector!" "Leave or I'll have to take measures." "Go ahead, inspector, do it." "Their smell is so exhilarating." "I'm tired now, very tired" "How could that happen?" "You never let yourself be seen or heard." "You grabbed my life and put it in chains." "Here we are in this dark room." "How many times did they hurt you?" " Did the judge confirm the arrest?" " Yes, he's in the isolation cell." " The murders haven't been proven." " They will." "What's the matter?" "The professor was looking for a loophole." "He wouldn't have, if he murdered the kids." "In order to cope with what they do many serial killers replace their memory with another one." "One that justifies those horrors." "They kill to free their victims from evil, which they represent." "A "false memory" "This is yours." "I wanted to make my anger more competent." "And so...?" "And so..." "The professor handed himself over." "You said if he'd killed someone, he wouldn't have done so." "Still, if we don't have any proof, we'll never know he's the murderer." "Hello?" "I'm coming." "They've found another body." "Darling, you're here." "What are you doing here alone?" " Did you finish your homework?" " Yes, mommy." " Is everything alright?" " Will you sit next to me?" " On the ?" "oor?" " Yes." " Who's that?" " A friend." "He likes my drawings." "Really?" "Hi, Carla." "Not at all." "I was talking with my son." "Everything's ready" "Exactly." "I tickled them." "I touched them, we laughed." "For kids, physical contact is more important than verbal contact." "Communication and feelings are manipulated by who has experience." "I behaved in such a way that made him feel at ease with me." ""That made him feel at ease with me."" " Hi." " Hi." "Come closer." "Look at me." "See?" "Lean back and let the sun shine on your face." "Do you like it?" "It's nice, isn't it?" "You feel so close to the sun, you'd like to ask it something." "Like..." " Like a wish." " What wish?" "A wish is a secret." "Alright, it'll be our secret." "Let's see..." "I'd like to take a nice walk with my new friend." "By the way, what's your name?" "Andrea." "Fine." "A walk with my friend Andrea." "We could go to..." "I don't know..." " To the seaside?" " Yes!" "To see the boats!" "Of course." " What's your name?" " Angelo." "To the seaside with Angelo." " It's time to go." " Shall we meet again tomorrow?" " Would you like to?" " Yes." " Alright." "See you tomorrow." " Bye." "I'll make rats eat you up." "Rats!" "Rats!" "Are you afraid of me?" "You've already touched it." "It's big, isn't it?" "It looks like a dragon." "Come on." "Otherwise I'll leave you here and make the rats eat you up." "Rats..." "And they stand there, like a bunch of lice." "They start biting you slowly." "In the end you have a hole on your skin." "And you don't even notice it." "Why don't they shoot these bloody dogs?" "And then, all of a sudden, it stops." "The itching stops." "But even one is enough." "It stays there, sleeping, hatching..." "It's probably thinking." "And then, all of a sudden, you start itching again." "It gets stronger and stronger." "It's like a hatching louse." "And you can't do anything." "You have to be quiet, you have to stay there." " Hurry up!" " I'm hurrying" "Good, hurry up!" "And slowly he bites you, until he's destroyed you." "To our love." "The professor is a habitual pedophile, but I don't think he's murdered kids." "Inspector?" "The exams on Marianna Misurini are negative." "We're still checking the material in his cellar." "With no solid evidence, the professor will only be charged for violence." "But he confessed terrible things." "I know." "But he didn't confess the murders." "If you let me investigate more, we'll find out about that, too." "Nothing illegal was ever committed in my office." "Let's wait for him to confess, then!" "Bloody hell!" "6 children have been murdered." " I'm aware of it, inspector." " Are you sure, sir?" "I already had to release 3 men from prison for lack of evidence and I'd like to avoid this again." "The body of Irene Desiano was found, the girl who disappeared tonight." "In garbage bags, like the others." "The daughter of the woman found dead at the park." "But there's something new:" "he left her clothes on and the bags were in a transit area." " Darling..." " Hi." "Paula and Vincenzo invited us to dinner." "Fine." "The village is a small dot now and we keep climbing." "The birds fly around us and accompany us up, and we keep climbing." "Then come the seagulls, even they say hello to us." "It's like a party." "But we're almost there..." "Look at me in the eye." "We're on top of the hill, the birds fly around us." "And there it is, in front of us:" "the ocean." "The shiny blue ocean." "Do you feel the wind through your hair?" "The smell of salt." "I see the boats." "Right!" "It's full of boats." "So many boats." "Galleons with enormous sails." " It's nice to imagine this way." " Don't you do it with your dad?" "He works a lot." "He doesn't think of me." "Shall we go on another trip tomorrow?" "Tomorrow, I must go now." "Bye." "Will you come to my place tomorrow?" "Who's that man?" "Nobody." "The stabs are different, they seem more violent." "Something must have happened:" "he doesn't act consistently any more." "A madman who doesn't act consistently?" "You make me laugh." "Well, if I make you laugh, why don't you go and arrest him?" "You're acting like a fool." "And you're acting like a policeman!" "You have no evidence." "None!" "If you don't understand what goes on in his head, we'll never get him." "Come on." " Some pieces fell down" " Hurry up." "Dad told you not to play with it." "I'm going, you come along with dad." "I'll take these, you take the water bottles." "Yes." " Let's go." " Some pieces fell under the seat." "Hurry up!" "Damn it!" " Please, dad..." " That's enough!" "We're late!" "Oh, the paper tissues Go, hurry up!" "Bye!" " I have to go to school!" " What if we went to the seaside?" " Now?" " Why not?" "It's a beautiful day!" " Are there any boats?" " It's full of boats." "I just bought them." "The low waist ones." "Sorry, I just got back home." "I'll call you back later." "Tamara?" "Tamara, are you here?" " Good morning, Gagliardi." " Good morning, Dr. Polite." " Where's the judge?" " He's coming." "Thank you." "The drawings of the 7 murdered children." "What do you think of them?" "At first sight they look like normal drawings:" "encounters, relationship to adults." "They show no traumatic experiences, but I have to compare them to kids' profiles." " Good morning." " Good morning, inspector." " If there's nothing else, I'd go." " Alright." "We've finished examining the material in the professor's record." "He abused more than 30 children, 10 of them detained for days." "Their parents didn't report they disappeared?" "Three of them were nomadic, two were his nephews." "Five were accompanied to the professor's house by their parents." " He paid them 1.500 euros." " But the children are all alive." "Twenty of them are following a course for mental rehabilitation." "Two parents committed suicide." "Others suffer from various troubles:" "stuttering, recurring nightmares." "An 8 year-old boy asks his mother to die three times a day." "You're a psychiatrist." "Are they alive, according to you?" "They'll help you charge the professor." "But not the kids who made these drawings." "When we capture "the beast", they won't be able to help you." "Yes, those children are alive, according to me." "Mommy..." "Yes?" "Yes, I'm coming." "Ah, Misasi, also inform Anna Polite." "You promised me to go to the seaside!" " There were no boats today." " I don't care." "I want to go home." "Your mom said you can sleep here." "And tomorrow, after having gone to the seaside, I'll take you back home." "How do you know my mom?" "I went to see her today." " And I even met your dad." " Dad comes home late." "I know." "That's why I brought your supper late." "I don't care." "I want to go home!" "You can't go home, Andrea." "Your parents said I can keep you here as long as I want." "Because they don't care about you." "They can't stand you." "You, your tantrums and your stupid drawings!" "In fact, they told me not to take you home any more!" "That's not true, you're a liar!" "Mom and dad love me." "They never loved you, Andrea." "They don't want you." "This is your home from now on." "I'll be your new daddy." "Come." "Hug me." "No!" "I don't want to hug you!" "Go away!" "You're mean!" "I hate you!" "Go away!" "Please, Angelo..." "Take me home." "Please." " MY NEW FRIEND " "Traces of skin were found under Tamara Tireskova's fingernails." "The DNA corresponds to the one found under the fingernails of the woman killed in the park." "He slaughtered a family to take a boy." "No." "The question is more complex." "He didn't have to kill them all in order to take the boy." "He could have done what he always did." "Maybe he had a fit, like at the park." "He murdered them intentionally:" "he entered the house and waited for the father in the garage." "No, there must be another reason." "Experts are comparing the drawings found at Andrea's house." "They're trying to find out if he resembles the recorded pedophiles" "It's not easy, of course." "A boy drew it." "But this boy is "in love"." "It says: "My new friend"." " But why wipe out an entire family?" " To replace it." "This boy must have something that bewitched him so much that he wanted to replace his parents." "So the boy could still be alive." "It's likely." "But his life depends on how well he manages to satisfy him." "We have his DNA, we only have to find him." "I'm going to Andrea's school, to talk to his school friends." "Maybe he told them about his "friend"." "Draw something." "You said you liked drawings." "Why don't you want to draw now?" "I'm nice." "I'm a good father." "What did they say at school?" "Nothing." "Nobody knows anything." "Nobody says anything." "I don't know what to do." "Why are you acting that way?" "I can't wait for him to kill another child." "Why are you acting that way?" "You're hurting me." "Why?" "Why are you acting that way?" "!" "I'm scared." "Please..." "I'll pass at the dry cleaner's See you later, love." " Good morning, Mr. Russo." " Good morning, Dr. Polite." " After you." " Thank you." "All the children disappeared when they came out of school." "On a day like today, one would like to do what children do..." "Skip work!" "Yes." "After you." "No, thank you." "I forgot something upstairs." "Alright." "Have a nice day." "On a day like today one would like to do what children do." "He cuts children to pieces." " Dr. Polite!" "Good morning." " Good morning." "Does it concern the condominium?" " Yes." " Come in." "Please, come in." "Here, this way." "Enrico keeps all the documents here." "Where's the folder?" "Have a seat." "Just a moment." "Let me have a look over here." " Would you like a coffee?" " No." "Maybe it's this." "Yes, it is." "I found it." "Thank God." "Let's see." "Polite..." "Here it is." "Sixth ?" "oor, right?" "Of course, we're neighbours." "Let's see..." "Everything is up-to-date" "Yes, everything's fine" "You're up-to-date with your payments." "What's the matter?" "ls something wrong?" "Who's your husband, Fabiana?" "Tell me who he is." " What do you want from me?" " Who is Enrico Russo?" "Go away." "Leave me alone." "Go!" " Who's your husband?" " I said go away." " Who is he?" " Go away." "Who's the man you live with?" " Who is he?" " Go away!" "You're mad!" "Leave me alone!" "How can you live in this house?" "How can you breath, sleep next to him?" "How can you?" "It's not true." "Who do you share your life with?" "Who is your husband?" "He loves me." "He gave me everything" "And I don't want to lose it." "It's not fair." "Oh, my God..." "How shameful!" "People would destroy me, us." "So a wife chooses not to speak." "You just mustn't know too much." "You mustn't ask any questions." "On the other hand, she saw nothing." "She didn't do anything." "But then he asks her for a son." "No, no..." "Everything, but not this" "A wife imagines herself as a mother and understands she can't accept this for her son." "So she makes a choice." "She knows she won't be..." "She decides never to become a mother." "Never." "She'll never be a mother." "I can't stand it any more." "Help me." "Please, help me." "Help me." "Please..." "I'll help you, don't worry" "Don't worry" "He has a place." "Anna?" "What are you thinking?" "What do children draw?" "They draw what they see." "A single tree." "I had a dream." "They ran, but I didn't understand what they were holding." "They were children and they were holding them tightly." "Then, at one point, they stuck them on poles and set them on fire." "Someone stood there watching while they cooked them." "And without a worry they started eating." "They ate an arm, then a leg..." "Passed a foot to someone else." "And in my dream I said:" ""They're murders!" "They killed them!"" ""They ate them"." "Some of the children shouted:" ""Let me go!"" "But then, when he'd grow up, what would he become?" "He'd be a cripple." "He'd be marked for the rest of his life." "Stop!" "Hands up!" "Step away from that sack or I'll shoot you." "Keep still, do what he says." "I know you don't want to kill him." "You don't want Andrea to die." "Please, Enrico!" "Step away from the child." "Leave him alone." "This is why one must kill these children:" "to avoid them vomiting their soul when they grow up, like I did." "But I woke up today." "Daddy!" "Enrico!" "Come on, run!"
