The Girl by the Lake
Subbed for Karagarga
I advise you go straight home.
But tomorrow you go to school,
you must promise it to me.
- I promise, aunt.
< Lucy: Hi! - Hi!
- Good morning, Maria. - Good morning, Marta.
- Hi, Marta. - Hi, Silvia.
Anna...
It is late.
I was dreaming. You shouldn't have waken me up.
(HORN)
Marta: Hi Mario!
No, I am not able. Otherwise my mother gets worried.
It is all right.
Hi, Alfredo.
- Lorenzo! - Paola, what is it? - I cannot find Marta!
How is that you cannot find Marta? what are you saying?
We have been looking for her for an hour! What must I do?
Help me, otherwise I will go crazy!
Calm down. Explain me calmly.
I have looked for her everywhere! Everywhere I have looked for her!
When I have the night shift, she goes to sleep to Lucy
and in the morning, if she doesn't want to go to school, she returns alone.
- But this morning... - Of course she stopped by a friend. - No!
She stopped only to give the breakfast to the dog of the signor Armando.
I will help you now, everything will be ok.
From the bar they also went out to look for her outside the village.
How '' out of the village''? Why out of the...?
What has she gone to do out of the village?!
He is called Maciste. He is sick. But he is my favorite.
It is so because he is old, oldest of all.
If you want, you can caress him.
My father wants to put him in the frying pan, but I don't allow him.
When he dies, I have already prepared the grave for him, here nearby.
I will put rather my father in the frying pan!
I must pee. Is there a bath?
It is there.
(The phone rings)
Hello
It is me
For how long?
Tell him in 10 minutes.
The child?
(in dialect) Mario, I have asked you about the child!
She is no more. Are you happy now?
Father Mario: And the jacket?
(in dialect) Where have you left your jacket
I have lost it
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I am sorry that I have disturbed you for a foolish thing, commissioner.
- Is it her? - Yes. I have found her at the border of the village, she is well.
- Has she told you where has she been? - At Mario, to see the rabbits.
- Who is this Mario? - A crazy person. A good one though.
Crazys are all good ones until they become bad.
- And who are you? - I am Giovanni.
Your mother made a call to me because she was worried about you.
Is she angry?
No, I don't believe. Now let's go because she is waiting for us.
< Marta: Mario is afraid that his dad will take Maciste from him
and cook him in the frying pan.
- Who is Maciste? - A rabbit.
I wanted to bring him with us
but Mario had said that he would be too frightened
the Lake of the Snake.
< Paola: It is a small lake here, up there.
< In this region there is a fable. - In the water there is a snake that,
if you look at him, he makes you put to sleep forever. Do you believe it?
No, it is not a fable.
< Marta: Today the snake has come and really he made the spell.
< Paola: But what spell, my love?
You want to tell mommy what happened at the lake with Mario ?
Marta!
It is perhaps better if we go out for a moment.
< Paola: Commissioner!
(music in the background)
Holy God!
- Sanzio: Do you know who is she? < Siboldi: It is Anna. Anna Nadal.
(continuous humming)
Sanzio: Well? Shall we make silence?
- Siboldi, but who are you calling? - Excuse me. I am hanging up.
- Anyone came from the prosecutor's office? - Yes, the doctor Giani.
But I don't see her anymore.
- You want her with the jacket or without? - As she is.
Let's remove the jacket when you finish.
- How did she die? - Collapse of the lungs.
She could have been drowned, but I cannot exclude the other causes.
- Have you seen the signs on the neck? - Yes.
< Physician: 30 degrees. She has been dead for a short time.
< I have to take her away.
< Sanzio: Just wait, I want to still look at her for a moment.
- Siboldi, make everyone move away. < Siboldi: Please!
Now you may remove the jacket.
- Do you know where lives this Mario? - Yes, it is down there over the ridge,
but we must take the car, because from here it is complicated.
It is all right, let's go.
Commissioner, Mario is a fool but he would not hurt a fly.
You have already told me about him, I understand that he is your friend.
He is really a friend of everyone.
- He is the friend of everybody except me I want to speak. Can I ? - Sure.
So good.
Alfredo, go down to the village, and collect information about the girl:
Where she used to live, with whom, who has last seen her...
Here is the law. Wait for a second.
Everything well, doctor?
It takes a strong stomach to make this job.
and in this period I don't have it.
I will go with Siboldi, but if you need something, Alfredo is here.
The inseparable Alfredo. I will go and listen what he tells me.
Yes. Go to village, if you hurry, you will still find him.
Yes.
< Siboldi: Do you see that gentleman there?
< If you continue to you tell lies, he will put you in a cell.
- Cell no! - Put him, instead! - Calm, Siboldi!
- To put in a cell, no. - But no, Mario, you must not worry.
We only need your help.
But you must explain me why you are so frightened.
Wwhat are you afraid of?
of something that you have seen at the lake? Are you afraid of me?
Of your father?
Please, I want to stay alone with Mario.
- Why? - Nothing. Only for a few minutes.
- But why? - I don't want to discuss.
Ah, yes? He cannot discuss?
You enter, you come here. You think that this is your house.
You don't raise your voice, I hear it all the same.
(Dog grooming)
- Are you a commissioner? - I am the one wants to get what he asks from you.
Keep the dog away. If he attacks me, I will shoot him in the head.
It is' good, it is' calm.
Wait there, have patience! Siboldi, come on?
Siboldi: Come. Do you want me to help you?
No, I don't need nothing.
Well, Mario,
the girl that you have seen at the lake
you have found her in that crouched position or have you put her?
She was like that.
Have you not touched? (Mario sighs)
Where have you touched her?
- Here. - Why there?
To talk to her.
I asked her if she was sleeping, she did not respond me,
then I have told her a thing to the ear, in a low voice.
And what have you told her?
That it was a bad idea to take a bath in the lake.
Because this is the season of the Snake.
And in fact the Snake has looked at her in the eyes,
made the spell and she has fallen asleep.
From what did you understand that the Snake looked at her?
From the fact that he had made her the spell.
And why did you put the jacket on her?
I have thought that it was cold and my jacket is nice and heavy.
Mario, that girl is dead.
- Ehm, it seemed to me a little so. - It also seems to me.
- Did you know Anna well? - Yes. Well.
Yes, when it rains, she always runs here up and down the hill.
I was there when she has won the medal of hockey.
- Did you love her? - Yes. Quite a lot.
Lot, like?
Well like... I want that she always wins.
And besides you, who else loved her?
- Ehm, her dad. - Certain, her dad.
- And besides her dad? - All, everybody.
- Did anyone want to harm her? - No one.
Sure?
- If I tell you about him, then what will you do? - Nothing.
It remains a secret between you and me.
My father hates her
because Anna has the long and thin legs.
(laughing) unlike him...
< Alfredo: Anna had a boyfriend a litte older than her,
Roberto Biasiutti, he works in a factory here nearby.
< Girl's father, is called Davide Nadal.
He is a widower, today he went to the Tarvisio to find his brother.
- Yes? - He also has another daughter, Silvia,
she studies in the city and we are trying to find her.
Yes, thanks.
The mayor offered us some locals of the community.
Roberto lives with his mother who works as a cleaning lady.
- The father? - There has never been one.
There has not been never... These is always a father.
< Roberto: Anna was the only decent thing. The only one.
- If you don't feel like, we are able to postpone. - No, I feel like.
Do you want a glass of water?
Something stronger?
I don't want anything.
< Sanzio: Your mother has told me that you have stayed home the whole day.
- Yes, I did not go to the job. - Why?
To work in the factory is not amusing.
It sometimes makes me sick.
- When you have seen Anna the last time? - This morning.
This morning? At what time?
I went to her home just before 8:00.
Did you have sexual intercourse?
- Why dou you ask me this? - Because I must know it.
Is it not a private thing?
Is there not a law that protects the private life of the people?
Yes, but there is here a homicide.
- Well? - For sure we had sexual intercourse.
I won't come back home tonight. Can you sleep at Agnese?
No, why alone? At Agnese I will feel better.
Ok, bye.
(Door Knocks)
We have collected some of the testimonies of neighbors:
they have seen her go out about 8:00 as usual.
However she met someone out in in the village
- Do you know him? - Corrado Canali. One of here.
He lives here, but he owns a business at Udine...
rather he had. Now he left it to his wife, they are separated...
- Have him come. - Yes.
< Canali: May I? - Please, please.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I have just learned about Anna. It is dreadful.
I knew her well she used to be the babysitter of Angelo,
my son.
- Where did you meet her this morning? - In front of the cafe.
I went there to have breakfast, I asked her if she wanted a coffee.
- Did she accept? - No,she told me that she had to hurry.
- Did she tell you where she was going? - No.
< Sanzio: For now thank you. I will tell you what we tell everyone:
don't go away soon. We might be needing to hear again from you.
- Of course. Good-bye, then. - Good-bye.
< Sanzio: Do you see something strange, that doesn't belong to your daughter?
No, these are all her things.
Recognition... I don't want to do it.
I don't want to see her, I can't make it.
Don't worry. Your daughter Silvia has already recognized her.
- Silvia is not my daughter. - Excuse me.
When I have known my wife, she had just lost her husband.
Back then Silvia had a little more than one year.
- Her cell phone is missing. - We have it for scientific observation.
And the backpack, where it is?
Are you sure she had it?
I have seen her when she went out. She had it on her shoulder.
But how is it that she dies this way? How come?
< Silvia: One may want to be able to cry properly,
not in front of you. - Sanzio: Only a second.
What had Anna in the backpack? It has disappeared, and we have not found it.
I believe the usual things, nothing of detail.
Did Anna hold a diary?
- I don't know it, but if she had one she would not have told it to me. - Why?
Anna was different. She was everything I am not.
- You are very beautiful. Anna how was she? - Have you not seen her?
I have seen her.
And you have not realized that she was very beautiful? Can I now go?
I want to take my father away.
Will you help us to see if there is something useful in the room of Anna?
- Now? - Yes. - It is all right.
Come, Silvia.
Can I give something to the father?
He keeps on crying, he repeats ''My child, my child!''.
What do you want to give him? A medicine?
What medicine, what medicine...
My daughter...
- Whose watch is that ? - Roberto's.
Sometimes they exchanged with Anna.
Tonight you have slept here. Have you seen them?
No, perhaps when they came I was already sleeping.
They were seeing each other secretely because my father hates Roberto.
He says that Roberto is a wretch, a slacker.
And in turn, how is he Roberto?
Like that.
But if this is all it took for hating the people, we should hate the entire world, no?
< Siboldi: How about a dish of spaghetti?
What is easier for you.
A burnt?
- No... an atypical dermatitis. - Atypical? It is?
It is the type that nobody knows how to heal.
Enough! Shoot some the landscape.
Enough!
Stop, dad, really, enough!
(Boldrini incites the students)
At this age they are strange, but I am accustomed.
8 months ago she told me
that she didn't want to be in the competitions anymore
and that the only thing that she liked was to run on the hill, alone.
''But alone what is the taste there?'' I asked with the double sense.
With the double sense?
- Yes, so, to make her laugh. - And has Anna laughed?
For god's sake! Never!
And what you have done to her? Did you start laughing alone?
(Boldrini laughs)
Perhaps you have not understood the tone with which this was intended to say.
With Anna did you try?
- What enters to it? - Did you try it or not?
- If I say yes, do I become a suspect? - You already are.
You have previous offences, you have been sentenced.
Unfair. Why don't you reread the sentence?
I will do it. Now answer to my questions.
Anna was a beautiful girl;
at the epoch she was not yet together with Roberto
and I have thought that we could have a story.
At that time Anna was 17 years old. She was a minor.
- I don't intend to say... - You don't talk about the double anymore. What history are you talking about??
Believe me, there has been nothing, our relationship was friendly.
Also after she has gone,
Anna was coming here to chat, to say hi...
You can ask everyone, how Anna was with me!
I am joking there with the girls, joke.
This, she had perfectly understood.
- I have also accompanied her to Udine not even one month ago. - What for?
She had to get some analyses from the hospital
- She had missed the bus, I was going to the center. - What analysis were these?
I have asked this to her.
She has answered me that this was her business.
I have thought that she had a trouble with Roberto.
But her... In general, she was made this way. This is why I had chosen her as the captain.
This has been the last time that you have seen her?
- No. I have seen her yesterday morning. - Where? At what time?
ln the village, next to the cafe. She has not seen me. I was passing in car.
< She was talking to Corrado Canali.
Be more precise. Had he stopped her? Did they meet by chance?
Look, this I don't know. They were talking.
If we had more staff, I would put someone behind him from morning to evening.
- Why? - Why not.
- These came just now - Among the things of Anna, were there some clinical analyses?
- No It does not seem to be. - ''It doesn't seem'' is not all right. Were there or were not there?
There were not.
I wanted to tell you that the data we were waiting have arrived.
It is only the list of people Anna called the most.
For the others we will wait a few days.
I am Persian. They come from the Belucistan, a zone to the south of the lran.
- Is it true that they make the children do this? - Yes, in some areas
- Because they have small fingers? - Yes, they make the knots more easily.
In reality only the girls have small fingers...
Ok, it doesn't really matter.
However those are not made by children.
Why did you not tell me that Anna called you every day?
Every day and every hour?
- Believe me, I wanted to tell you. - And why you did not?
To not to cause a misunderstanding.
- Did you have a relatonship - No.
- Did you have a rendezvous yesterday morning? - No.
As I have already told you, we just met by chance there.
What Anna had, how to say... was a foolish admiration.
She believed that she was in love with me.
When I was not with my wife anymore,
she knew that I was sad and kept calling me. That's all.
ln a village like this, it would be difficult to have a hidden story.
Here everybody knows everything about everybody.
It is enough that you go around and ask, you will see.
Me and Alfredo, we return in the city.
I must try to sleep, I am asunder.
- Good evening, commissioner. - Bye.
Can I tell you that the 4 in history bothers me more than the 2 in Latin?
- But what do you have on your wrist? - An atypical dermatitis.
I have it since a month.
24 absences in a trimester they seem to me too much, no?
Lately, I don't want to study a lot,
sometimes I didn't go to class, but so does everyone.
- Do you have to do whatever does everyone? - Yes.
- And where do you go when you don't go to school? < Hang around. - Around...
- It is too late, dad. - France', can I know with whom you go around?
Alone. Is the interrogartion over?
- Today go to the school, I advise. < Bye, dad.
(Door is shut)
The doctor Giani has asked me a lot of questions.
Didn't you explain her how we ended here after 20 years at the Homicide.
And what did you tell her?
< ''For me and the commissioner all the places are equal ''.
You did wel... You did well to answer her this way.
Alfre', when you have seen her that morning , what did you think?
It seemed that she was sleeping.
To put her in that position must not have been easy,
but why that whole work?
Make the criminal part of your brain work .
It is very limited.
I don't know, I thought that he had stripped her
to make us believe that it was a sex crime.
Perhaps.
But then he has not left her in the middle of the mud,
throw her as a thing.
He has left her on a side, as if she was sleeping:
he wanted to make everything as calm as possible.
Then he made a final turn
and has seen the eyes of Anna looking at him.
he has thought that this image would torment him for his entire life.
Then he came back,
and turned her head.
These reflect feelings, Alfre.'
Whoever has put her in that position was loving her.
How beautiful! Carlo will like these, you are kind.
This was not my idea. Francesca sent you these flowers.
Francesca?
This is my moment and I don't want to risk putting it to fire.
Is she someone that I should know?
Is it important?
No, it is not important.
Carlo had to return home days ago. It has been really bad.
But the doctors told me that a few returns, they have sworn me.
- Do you miss him? - A lot.
When he is around, I don't feel alone in this world.
Certainly you are there as well.
You are so sweet to come until here, mamma mia!
To take the plane for hours, leaving your students and your wife.
You are really good.
Only that Carlo makes me not to feel
that thing that I have inside and doesn't give me peace.
He tells me that I am beautiful. I know that it is not true,
however, I feel like crying from happiness when he tells it to me.
Enough of talking about me. Let's speak about your secrets.
Of my secrets? I don't have any secrets.
A long time ago, I have realized that you held a gun in a drawer.
Where were we...? I don't remember...
- At the house by the sea? - I don't know it.
I thought: why does a professor who studies English poetry
have a gun in the drawer? Is this not a secret?
< Alfredo: How is your wife?
Worse. doctors had told me: every time she will be a little worse.
She mistook me for one of her brothers who lives abroad.
And she doesn't remember to have a daughter anymore.
Tell me how to explain such a thing to Francesca?
Commissioner,
I just received from the Doctor Giani the order for Roberto's house.
I am going there.
- I will join you as soon as I am finished here. - See you later.
< Physician: The girl knew the killer, she trusted him.
- Has there been sexual violence? - No, she was a virgin.
- Are you certain? - She had a relationship.
How was she killed?
He held her head under water, there are very evident signs on the neck.
How long does it take to die like that?
< Anna was an athlete, she had an excellent pulmonary ability.
< At least 7-8 minutes. - My God...
< No trace of skin under the fingernails, she has not scratched.
It did not take a lot of strength to kill her.
- Then the killer can also be a woman? - Yes.
< Sanzio: Yet Anna was poweful, strong...
Yes, but she did not fight. She let herself die.
< Don't think I am crazy
but perhaps Anna agreed with whoever killed her.
< Giani: But how is it possible? A girl so full of life.
Anna was sick: cerebral neoplasia. She had a tumor.
- Could she be cured? - I don't believe,
she would be dead in one year.
(Ambulance sirens)
- When I can get back my daughter? - Soon, very soon.
But I must know. Why don't you want to tell it to me?
I must arrange the funeral.
The relatives wait. What can I tell them?
- Tell them in two days. - Two days. Do you promise?
Yes.
Listen, that doctor who was sitting here before you did,
has asked me what type of medicines Anna took.
What questions are these?
Listen, unfortunately we have to be precise for the records.
Anna perhaps had simple ones for headache...
Yes, headache... she could have been taking them, as I would. But why does it matter?
All these questions that seem absurd to you
come from the fact that there is one thing that makes us uncertain:
Why did Anna leave hockey? Why? She was a strong girl.
- Perhaps she was not well? Did she have a problem? - But no.
Anna has left the team after the misfortune of that child.
She felt very badly after this.
- Which child? - Angelo, the child of Chiara and Corrado Canali.
The one she was baby sitting?
Hee was 3 years old.
After that event, Anna cried an entire week.
For this that she did quit playing.
If there has been an other reason, she would have told it to me.
Are you really sure that Anna told you everything?
- I am her father, I knew her. Don't you have children? - A girl.
And don't you know what passes in the mind of your daughter?
- Enter Password -
- Wrong Password -
Even today you have not gone to work.
Mother, please! At least you leave me alone.
You know what happened to me, don't you?
Yes, I know it, but they will pretend to not to know.
If tomorrow you don't show up, they will fire you.
(Bell)
- Good morning. - Good morning.
These?
Anna had given to me because she didn't want to keep them in her house.
I have not told about them because you have not asked me.
Do you really want to play the dumb?
If the commissioner had told me that you wanted to see the analyses, I would have given them to you,
In this way I could avoid all this.
Yes, after the fact it is easy to systematize. I also take these with me.
- Those are Anna's. - Another thing you have not told us.
Now you will see it with the commissioner.
My knees are shaking.
< Agent: lnspector, sorry to bother. Just for a moment.
It is here. We did not touch it.
Siboldi: Do you know what is this?
- It is Anna's. - I know it.
- Where did you find it? - Out here.
It is not true.
- You must come with us. - But why? - Why not.
What the hell do you want from me? You want to frame me, right?
But I don't have anything to do with nothing.
What have you done, Roberto?
- Mom, please! - Roberto!
What is this?
The boy had the medical analysis of Anna
and behind his house we've found the backpack.
I had decided to arrest him, but that piece of shit has escaped.
ln a moment jumped out of the window. Binacci is young and inexperienced.
However you you are neither young, nor inexperienced.
What could I do? Shoot him?
- I believe he went that way - What is down there? - The river.
I told the cars to not to let anyone pass.
(The door Opens)
- Where the fuck are you going?! - Go slowly, Siboldi. Slowly...
I have not done anything, I don't have anything to do with nothing!
You made a stupid thing, I am not me the one you are looking for, I'm telling you!
I loved Anna! I didn't do anything to her!
- Then why did you escape? For sport? - Silence, bring him to the station.
- He destroyed all our lungs running. - Enough!'
- Come before it cools down. - Coming
- And this what it is? - A heated soup.
But it is your fault, you did not warn that you were coming.
- She was called Anna, right? - Yes.
And how was she? Beautiful?
A while ago we have arrested her boyfriend.
- Was it him? - Perhaps.
- But why did he do it? - This is what I don't know yet.
Think it was not him.
Not only it is not him,
but his health is also affected in the cell, or you make something wrong
and he is given life sentence.
- Do you ever think that you can be wrong? - I always do.
It is not fault of the soup, I am not hungry anymore.
- France', but why did you quit playing piano? - Again?
- You have long fingers, they look as if they were made to play ... - We already spoke about it!
- But you have not explained me why. - Because I don't know why.
- But there should be a rason. - There should be, but I don't know it!
I don't enjoy it, I get tired, I get annoyed.
I don't understand what happened suddenly from one moment to another.
I said I don't know it.
- Leave it. I will do it. < I have already done.
You go and eat, I don't need anything, I will do it.
But in one minute I will be done.
You must explain me why when the women argue, they turn their back.
< Someone must explain me this!
- Have you seen her this morning? - Yes. - And how is she?
Better.
- When can I see her? - For now you cannot.
- Doctors are saying that if she sees you, she will get excited. You will see her here. - Here?
Yes, here.
You will bring her back to house even if she is not recovered?
I will bring her because she will be recovered. We need to have a little bit of patience.
Mom will return and we will be so happy.
Francesca: Then ask me why I have the argument with you.
I have it with you because you don't tell me the truth.
Because you treat me as if I was 5 years old.
- From that thing mom will not recover. - What do you know?
< I know hit! I have looked for it on the internet, I know all the bad things.
It is progressive.
- If it goes far, it doesn't return back. You become like... - Silence!
Enough.
(Francesca is crying) Enough, enough...
< Why did we come here?
Why don't you find yourself someone?
Can I know why?
This is the penal code. Article 575, it is written ''homicide''.
Who cares. It doesn't concern me. I have committed no homicide.
Then explain me why did you have the disks of Anna.
- I have already explained it. - Repeat it.
I had them because her computer didn't work so she used mine.
Why have you been working the whole day on the disks?
- I wanted to see what she had written there. - Why?
To understand! To find a trace, to discover who has killed her!
- This is our job. - Then I should be really calm!
Surely we have a misunderstanding.
You are in a very bad situation.
The last thing that serves you is to play the smart ass,
worse still the arrogant and worse of the worse the dickhead!
- I am telling you the truth. - Don't take me for an ass! Understood?!
If you insist to say that you don't know why the backpack was two steps away from your house,
and that you kept the analyses of Anna, but you didn't know what stuff they were
and that you have only discovered it later after we have found her dead,
you take yourself 30 years! Am I clear?
I tell you the truth, it is you who don't believe me!
- Tell me which one is the true truth! Tell it to me! - Sure I will.
Well?
Thing?
- You said you would tell me the truth. - I have reconsidered.
- What a piece of... - Hey! Enough with the offensive words.
Enough with the offensive, it doesn't suit you.
Let's be calm.
Let's restart from the disks.
You wanted to delete them, this is why you worked there the whole day.
It is not true, it is not true... it is not true, it is not true...
it is not true, it is not true...
Maybe it is the tea that is causing this dermatitis.
I have thought about everything, but the tea I never thought about it.
- Is the password found for the CD? - Not yet.
- Was it the boyfriend? - Very likely.
How did he die Corrado Canali's child?
An accident, an absurd death:
suffocated by a biscuit while he was having breakfast.
When they have realized, there was nothing that could be done.
(mumblings)
Have you made our case?
Nowadays when the women get pregnant, their belly is not seen anymore.
< Siboldi: And is it not better?
No. It is not better.
< Sanzio: He says that yesterday morning he was in the house, but he doesn't have any witnesses.
According to our data, he received a phone call at 11:00 o'clock
but he has not answered. He says that he was listening to the music with the headphones...
- What go you think of it? - I don't know.
I don't get along with the boy. My fault, he doesn't like me.
- I must verbalize this now. - Please. It is all yours.
I have seen the video of Anna.
They seem to me morbid shots:
the way in which her father frames her, follows her. Always and only Anna.
Her sister is there, her voice is heard but she is never seen.
The father ignores her.
- Did you not have this impression? - Yes, I had it.
- Then we should hear Nadal again. - And how do we do?
Let's question him for too much loving her daughter and too little his wife's daughter?
Here at the station they were saying that you are married and have a daughter.
Is your wife beautiful?
I wonder how an ill tempered man has conquered a beautiful woman.
You see I am not ill tempered.
Beautiful, right? They look perfect
and in truth, each of them has a small defect,
a badly made knot. - Made bady on purpose?
A persian poet says
that it is made to let the God of the plot to free himself.
- But you are not here for the carpets, right, commissioner? - Do you know me?
Will you be offended if I tell you that it is immediately seen?
No, I am not offended.
She was different than the others girls of her age.
Better, more sensible. She was strong, brave.
Why nobody wanted to take care of your child?
The other girls preferred to deal with more normal children.
Angelo was not?
I thought that you wanted to ask me about Anna.
I am only trying to understand, to have an idea.
I believe that you ask me police questions.
- Will you ask me if I have an alibi? - Do you have one? - No.
You are not the only one.
Angelo was sick.
He was closed in his world,full of fears that he fought against.
He was closed in his world, full of fears that he fought against.
The only fact on which the doctors could agree
was that his state would not improve.
He was never strong, he never slept.
He always cried, since when he was born.
Weeping with no consolation.
It was difficult to know what to do with Angelo.
Only Anna knew how to take him, she was patient
and he liked her, he adored her.
- were you sometimes jealous of her. - Jealous like?
As mothers who know they are not be able to measure up to the problems of their children
and who choose someone better than them.
If you want, I may accompany you.
(Engine noise)
- Who is this? Your boyfriend? - He is called Simone.
And what are you doing here at the shop of the Canali?
He works as a renovator. He must collect a check.
Are you getting along with him?
- Sometimes it seems so... - But what happened?
The other day you were looking desperate. Now you gained your color back.
Tell is to me also, how do you make it?
-Just keep yourself away from big pains. - It is a motto!
- I went home. I feel for him. - Have you left your father alone?
He is always the same alone. Only with Anna.
And then he is not my real father.
That is no longer true
and whoever knew him say that I have lost nothing .
You can never choose your fathers. The ones who touch you, touch you.
This is true.
I must go.
Among the things that you have seized from the house,
there is a bronze little angel, a small one. You must return it to me.
- A little angel? - Anna cared a lot about it.
It is all right. It will be possible to bring it back to you.
< Siboldi: This is the course that Anna should have made that morning.
Is this the road that leads to the school?
The bus stop is here. Her house is here behind.
< She passed from here.
- Why have you lied? - Still the same question?
How many times have you lied me?
- 100, 200, 2000? - Why do I need to lie to you?
I have told it without thinking.
For the shame of it:
If I had said that I slept with Anna but that we didn't made love,
you would have taken me for a fool.
I am not crazy, I don't have sexual problems.
And then you must tell me the motive! What is it?
Why would I want to kill her?
Anna loved me and I loved her. Why would I want to kill her?
- Why? - Be ready to listen.
You cannot know it, but I do.
I have seen so many of murdered bodies, they are decomposed, stiffened by the fear.
Anna was not.
As if the death had freed her from a pain.
- For this we have thought about you. - But what are you saying?
Anna has told you that she was not very well, that she would not live long,
perhaps you cried together.
Perhaps you asked her to die together, but she asked you another thing,
to avoid medical clinics, to let her die silently.
Without making noise without bothering anyone and you have done it.
It is not this way.
I didn't know that she was sick. I learned it only yesterday.
I told you everything
and you told me nothing.
- I believe that the prison is validated. - Did you hear?
I tell you. We are arresting you. Do you have anything to say?
- (in a low voice) Go fuck yourself. - There you go. Good, good.
The CDs are unlocked.
Print what is inside. I want to read everything.
What was the password?
Angelo.
Commissioner, you cannot smoke here.
Arrest me.
< Sanzio: The school has restarted just a week ago
and I already feel so tired.
< Sometimes I wish they understood me right away.
< I'd like if it was enough to look without having to explain anything
to make my melancholy understood.
< I only have to understand that we are growing...
< Anna: And each one is looking for his own way to be.
< Sanzio: Today in school I fell asleep.
< Anna: It is not the first time that it happens to me.
< Anna and Sanzio: It strikes me suddenly like a kind of exhaustion.
(Anna's Voice Overlapped)
< Sanzio: I am convinced that the color of the eyes depends on life.
< If one is happy, the eyes are ignited with light.
< I have imagined Angelo when he will be big and will have a nice beard.
< The girls will run after him. < Anna: And I will be so jealous.
< Anna: I wish so much that some days would not exist, that they had never existed.
< For my luck there is Roberto.
< Sanzio: Everyone should be able to express their affection as they best know it.
< Anna: The trainings with the team they are heavy,
but playing means a lot of for me.
< Anna and Sanzio: When I run on the hill and then I go down to the lake,
I feel Mario's looks always on me.
< Anna: He doesn't stare badly. < Sanzio: I don't fear him.
< Anna: But his father gives me the shivers, he always have severe looks.
< His wife has did not leave them because she couldn't bear the crazy child.
< Sanzio: I work to accept the fact that I am changing so much.
< Anna: When I run on the hill and then I go down to the lake,
I feel Mario's looks always on me.
< He doesn't scare me, but his father gives me the shivers.
(Background music)
Sanzio: What are you doing?
I dig the grave for Maciste.
Dad says that he died tonight of old age.
But if I discover that he poisoned him, I swear that I will tear his head off.
I know that a son should not say such things but I...
Your father, where is he?
Where he is always, cursed one.
- I want a lawyer. - You will use it with the judge. Answer my questions.
- You cannot treat me as if... - I am not trating you like anything. - Yes!
You take advantage of me because I am reduced to this chair. I wish...
Answer my questions! Do you prefer to answer in the cell?
What are you able to do alone? Can you walk, drive a van?
I am able, but I never do it.
Van's controls are by the steering wheel. If you never use it, why?
The van is 10 years old. 10 years ago I drove it, not now.
- Squeeze my arm. - What?
- Squeeze my arm, go ahead. - Why? - Do what I tell you!
Stronger! Stronger.
Stronger. Squeeze stronger!
It is all right, enough.
You wanted to see if I am strong enough to break the neck of a rabbit?
No. I wanted to see if you are strong enough to drown a girl.
- Me? - Yes, you.
- And why would I want to do it? < How should I know?
Perhaps not to see her running here anymore,
perhaps not to see Mario looking at her anymore.
You hate Mario. No?
When he was small I hated him, but bot now. We make each other company.
We remained two alone: the paralytic and the crazy.
Why were you hating him?
How do I explain it? You must have beautiful children, healthy, intelligent.
- Try me. - I don't have the words. I don't know how to explain.
You think badly about yourself. You think that it is your fault.
All ends, all becomes black.
Only the one who went through it can understand it. Only who went through.
(Background Music)
(Sharp break)
If this is still about Anna, I don't have anything more to add.
- It isn't about Anna. I want to speak of Angelo. - And why?
If you don't feel like it, I will go, but tomorrow I will ask the same questions.
- What Angelo has to do with the death of Anna? - I don't know.
Ask me what you have to ask and then leave.
The cause of your separation, is it the death of your child?
We were not able to to lift that weight,
that sense of guilt.
Corrado has been even worse:
the child was with him that morning.
After months of weepings, pain,
folly,
we both walked on our separate roads.
How did Angelo die?
It is like, while he was eating his milk and biscuits,
something got stuck in his throat.
Something didn't move neither up or down.
It blocked his respiration, it prevented him from screaming.
What do you remember from that day?
Everything.
I was in bed, I had not closed my eye the whole night
because Angelo had not given us rest.
He had cried until 5:00.
Then he fell asleep. After two hours, he was awake again.
I wasn't able to make it anymore, I was exhausted.
Corrado got up to take care of him.
- You stayed in bed? - Yes.
- Did you sleep? - Kind of.
Did you hear something? Any noise?
Their voices. They were having breakfast.
< Nothing special?
The... screams of Angelo.
< Did Angelo scream? - Angelo always screamed.
He could hit the cup on the table, for an hour,
until he got what he wanted.
You would dress him and in an instant he would take everything off.
You would give him the medicines and he would spit them.
And your husband? Was your husband also screaming?
< Chiara: But what are you looking for? Yes, they shouted both.
But don't think anything bad. It was every day like that.
Then my husband went to bathroom and Angelo kept screaming.
And what did you do?
I have put my head under the pillow.
You would also have done the same if you were at my place. Anyone would.
In a short while I fell asleep.
With the head under the pillow did you hear anything?
Can you tell me that your husband was shouting?
I don't want that you have a wrong idea about him.
You tell me that your husband was screaming
and I promise you that I won't have a wrong idea.
Never. I will never tell this to a living soul.
< Canali: When I had seen you behind the window, I had thought you were coming here.
Did you think of it?
No, you hoped for it.
Yes. I hoped for it.
Everybody hopes for it.
Then comes a moment they can't do it anymore
to hold everything inside
and they need to speak, don't they?
The other evening, I have read it in your face.
But I had not understood it yet, I was missing so many things.
I had not succeeded in answering the simplest question: why.
Anna and I, we had a relationship.
It had been goind on for a few months.
Then she begun to have absurd wishes.
She wanted to come and live here, she wanted me to talk to Chiara about it.
She had become obsessive.
And you have killed her for this.
Yes.
My throat is a little dry.
Do you want to come in? I can accompany you...
No. Let's wait.
Under other circumstances I would have been offended for such a big lie.
You don't believe me?
No, I don't believe you.
What else do you want to know?
I have told it to you, it was tormenting me.
That morning, when I have met her outside the cafe,
Anna insisted to talk to me once more.
She told me to meet by the lake and I have met her.
She was not listening, she didn't want to reason.
She was possessed.
And I have lost my temper.
- You threw her backpack behind the house of Roberto. - Yes.
You didn't have any relationship: Anna was virgin.
And Anna could never have made projects for future; neither with you nor with others,
because she didn't have a future:
She would die in a few months because of a tumor . Therefore your defense does not hold.
Why don't you have even one photo of Angelo?
What does it have to do with this?
- Why don't you arrest me right away and finish it? - Answer me.
What do you know about when your child dies on you? What do you know?
I don't know how to really imagine it.
You go to the bath in the morning and
you find his toothbrush under the mirror
or a plastic duck at the edge of the bath tub.
The months pass and you find another toy under the couch.
Then you put away everything.
However each time you think that you are commiting a crime.
Do you have any idea how long the smell of a child remains on cotton pyjamas?
At the day of the death of Angelo, Who called the ambulance?
The employee remembers that he had heard a woman's voice over the phone.
so shaken that she had not even left her name.
The girl who was passing every morning here in front of your window.
< Anna has told you what she had seen:
the small one couldn't breathe anymore, he couldn't do it anymore,
there was no one who was helping him, who was running to him. No one.
And you had also seen her
that she was hearing Angelo's cough, however...
you didn't move.
Enough.
From when Anna knew she was sick, she had become insistent, obsessive.
< The looks, the phone calls
she accused you, she prevented you from forgetting.
I just gave you a confession of homicide.
I have killed Anna.
Now it is enough.
All right, enough.
(Engine noise, distancing)
My husband told me that he is not sure whether he wants to be present for the birth.
I feel bad about it.
Were you there was when your daughter was born?
- I didn't feel like it either. - You see how are the facts?
And your wife?
She also felt bad about it.
Now, is it barred by the statute of limitations?
Yes.
If I invite you to a supper, would you mind telling it to my husband?
- What? - What is now repented.
Gladly.
Do you want to take me for a round?
Gladly.
I am here to tell you that we were wrong.
Your mother is out here, she is waiting for you.
< I don't know how to say but we have put you in troubles while you were not guilty.
I regret it.
You have been strong, a lot.
Perhaps now you should allow yourself a good weeping.
- Not on your shoulder. - Right, not on my shoulder.
< Francesca: But does she really love him?
So say the doctors.
And him?
He adores her.
Have you seen? She has smiled at you.
