["DEATH RITES" ANDREA FARRI]

Time's up! It was "Lord of the Flies"!

No, come on! Who knows? It's not worth it!

It's not true that we saw it!

We cheated. - Always!

I want to win, not participate.

Yes, yes, everyone go, it's late.

I'm worried about Tommaso.

Why?

He's always sullen and closed off.

Well, he's 15, that's normal.

Eugenio seems strange to me, always cheerful...

Yes, but at his age it's too early for thoughts.

At 15, I was smoking, having sex, and had already planned the m*rder.

of my parents.

Trust me, you were lucky.

This...

[VOICES FROM TV]

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Adriana! It's been a long time since...

Tell me.

Yes, Antonio is here with me...

Like "a woman"?

Pronto?

Yes.

What do you mean "a woman"?

You didn't eat anything at dinner. I'll leave something on the table for you.

No, thanks, I'm not hungry. But you'll see, I'll be right back.

HI.

- Is there a dead person? - No. There's a robbery.

But are you coming back?

Of course I'll be back.

- Good evening. I'm Inspector Petra. - Yes, we know who you are.

Please, if you want to follow me.

- How old is he? - 26.

She's very young.

I met Jesus very early.

Do you believe it?

No, not at all.

There is no age for vocation.

Maybe it could happen to her too.

What do you do here during the day? Do you have internet?

I study.

I study Nursing Sciences, then I take care of the outpatient clinic here.

You know, we are human too, we get sick from time to time.

We have arrived.

Salve!

Come in.

Do you mind if I smoke?

No... if I can do it too.

It's a secret.

I lived in Cuba for 15 years.

And I returned to Genoa with two defects:

I can't stand the cold anymore and I can't stop smoking.

Nice to meet you, Adriana Donati.

Beatrice told me a lot about her work with Antonio.

Thank you for coming, I'm sorry to disturb you.

I had called him, but you know, a man would have created embarrassment

in a place like this.

Don't worry. Antonio often creates embarrassment elsewhere, too.

So, Beatrice told me about the theft. What did they take?

Is it of great value?

The statuette is from the 17th century.

It is said to have been carved from an olive tree trunk from Gethsemane.

- Do you believe that? - Well, no.

So, it's not worth much?

I don't know about the object itself, but it is of great Christian value.

It is a relic venerated by many faithful.

He granted many graces, you know?

Especially to women who wanted a child.

She's very famous.

[PHONE RINGS]

Look, I don't have much to do here.

You need to file a theft report.

[PHONE RINGS]

But where does it come from?

I don't know. [WOMAN SCREAMS]

[PHONE RINGS]

I sent one of our people to the wife's house.

Were you able to ask her something?

Not much. She was shocked on the phone.

He was Arturo Tarsi. He was in charge of the restoration of the crypt.

Who knows...

Maybe if he hadn't come back here, he'd still be alive.

Maybe.

How would I know? Ask her, she's his wife!

But how did you come up with the idea of ​​bringing her here?

This church is very important to her.

Here in the crypt is his family tomb.

Love, come.

What do you tell me?

The weapon is a blunt instrument, two strong blows,

one to the chest and one to the head,

They broke his frontotemporal bone.

Testimonial?

We are looking.

- Excuse me, Inspector, I was thinking... - Don't think, Reva.

Go check: roads, cameras, everything.

They took away an object that I would say is quite visible.

Someone must have noticed something, right?

- And ask to inspect the convent too. - Okay.

Footprints?

Too many.

It is a place open to the public,

the crypt is also heavily contaminated.

Reva? Did you faint?

No.

And Monte?

- He walked his wife home. - Ah! Yes, yes, I know.

- So? - ​​No, I'm going, I'm going.

Thank you, Erminia.

What's here?

Ours is that one.

Like those of prisoners.

Yes. For us it's the rooms.

Have you been here long?

I arrived five years ago.

Before I was close to home, in Imperia.

You too had your calling early on.

I was a special child.

My parents took me to the oratory since I was little.

They will be proud of you.

Excuse me, they're waiting for me.

Excuse me, Inspector.

Please, continue, continue.

[THEY SAY "HALVE REGINA"]

Excuse me.

Just a few questions: How many of you are in here?

The ones you see. We are 20 sisters.

I'll have to listen to you all.

We are trying to reconstruct the events of last night.

I assure you that when the incident occurred they had all already withdrawn.

in their rooms.

So you know the exact time of the crime?

No, because not us.

Maybe I can help you. My name is Sister Elisabetta.

Tell me.

I knew...

The dead man.

I had helped him a little with the restoration.

I'm majoring in Art History and I know this church well.

I have sometimes accompanied tourists to the chapel.

What exactly did Arturo Tarsi do?

On the restoration of the crypt.

There are foundations underneath and a few months ago we noticed

of some infiltrations that ruined a fresco.

Inspector, the sisters are tired and exhausted.

We would like to end our prayer.

Can we postpone your questions until tomorrow?

But I must ask you not to leave the convent for any reason.

until I return.

We wouldn't do it anyway.

Indeed, in your case.

All right. Thanks for the information.

[THEY RECITE THE ROSARY]

- Reva? Any news? - Yes, there's a witness.

He's a Nigerian boy, at the bar,

who says he saw someone coming out of the church door

with a package in hand.

Did you have an identikit made?

No, I was waiting for her.

He just finished work, he was hungry.

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me...

There was a black guy... he was inside, he was eating a sandwich.

Yes, he paid and left.

- Who was that! - Reva...

I told him I'd be right back!

He wanted to testify and you leave him here waiting for you?

The police are always a pain, you should have brought him with you!

Who's going to tell Petra now?

and instead he found himself in front of Tarsi.

But why go down into the crypt if the baby was up there?

Maybe he heard a noise, maybe he wanted to steal something else.

He found himself in front of Tarsi and k*lled him.

Too bad there was no one around.

Actually, there was someone there.

- What do you mean? - A boy. Nigerian.

And where is this boy now, Antonio?

- Reva... - He let it slip.

Do we even know what his name is?

- Reva! - We need him alive.

It's late. Do you want a ride home?

No, I'll have another beer, okay?

Beatrice is waiting for me.

She was very scared.

She's not like us. She's never seen anyone k*lled.

Yeah... He's not like us.

Until tomorrow.

- Oh! - Damn!

No swearing. And no throwing clothes.

I don't doubt that.

What are you doing awake at this hour?

Tomorrow you'll be quizzing the Persian Wars in History. Do you remember them?

Why not?

Can I repeat myself?

Yes.

["AROUND THE WORLD"
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS]

But what if Tarsi had colluded with the thief?

I do not believe.

He was an esteemed restorer, a university professor,

Maybe he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What else do we know about him?

He was a little unstable financially, but nothing major.

He had made some bad deals in real estate,

Private life? Oh no, there was one thing: he had a double SIM card,

but many people have it.

Not me. Her?

- No. - Exactly.

Is it really worth k*lling a man?

Am I wrong or did you not really want to go home last night?

She knew that during the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC,

about 6,400 Persian soldiers died against 192 Athenians?

Because we only remember it for the Legend of the Emerodromo

who would run continuously from Marathon to Athens

to announce the victory, but in reality it was a crucial battle.

- Is everything okay, Petra? - I'd say not.

Did we have the statue appraised?

We are working on it with an expert.

In Italy, there are at least 4,000 art thefts every year.

A huge market.

A port like this one in Genoa is a good way to make them disappear

abroad. Have you considered that this could be a case of artnapping?

Stealing a work of art and asking for a ransom.

But he likes to say it that way.

Until a request arrives it cannot be considered artnapping,

and in most cases the ransom is not paid.

k*lling a person without even the certainty of making money from it?

And let's move quickly because the media is already rubbing their hands together.

Is it possible that there are no witnesses?

No, nobody.

Have you already spoken to the Mother Superior of the convent?

Yes, Adriana Donati. She seems to be cooperating.

She smokes too.

I have never seen a nun smoke.

Me neither.

He didn't tell Pessone that Reva let that witness slip away.

Living with Marco and the children is making her more maternal,

better.

You've been acting awful.

I'll give you a week to find the witness,

otherwise I ask the police commissioner for a serious disciplinary sanction, clear?

Here you are.

[VOICE]

[DOOR OPENS]

You're late. The third prayer has already begun.

Most of the sisters are busy now.

Praise begins at 5:30 every morning.

And she complains when Pessone sets the meetings at 9:30.

Sister Ines, right?

There are other colleagues of hers who are not at prayer.

right now?

Sister Arianna and Sister Nicoletta are preparing lunch.

Sister Claudia and Sister Laura are in administration

and, instead, Sister Sara is in the laundromat.

Good. Antonio, start questioning these girls...

Gentleman.

And then, after the prayer, we will hear the others.

I have an appointment with Adriana.

The Mother Superior.

Certainly.

Wait here. You follow me instead.

[SWEET MUSIC]

[PHONE RINGS]

f*ck you.

Nice here! It looks like The Name of the Rose.

- That was a monastery. - Oh yes, of friars.

Monks.

Here you are.

We've arrived. The bursar's office is here.

Sister Claudia. Why are you alone?

Sister Laura went to the third prayer. Should I go find her?

You're younger than my son, can I address you informally?

Yes, certainly.

I don't know, the magistrate ordered the seizure.

Who had the keys to that place?

They're in a drawer in the office.

Each of us sisters can take them to go and pray.

whenever he wants.

So, each of you can enter it.

No cameras, no alarms...

Did you know Arturo Tarsi well?

No, but he was a serious professional, with an excellent CV.

Yet, for the theft he wanted a woman: me.

Why did you choose a man for the restoration?

I didn't choose it, it was a report that arrived

from the Curia of Genoa.

Had she inquired about him?

Of course. Tarsi was a good man.

We will investigate this.

No, sorry, out of curiosity: am I being interrogated?

Am I under suspicion?

Okay.

Until proven otherwise, you all are.

They are very young.

The choices we make in life are never extreme,

if necessary.

It never happened to her that she chose something because it was

absolutely necessary?

Always.

Here you are.

For those girls, living in community,

Dedicating body and soul to Christ was the only possible choice.

It's called "vocation."

It must be nice to know exactly what to do with your life.

Well, why? She has her calling too.

This?

He's an inspector, he must have had a calling to do so.

Yes, but I didn't make sacrifices and renunciations like you.

We are much freer than many other women out there.

who are convinced they are.

Here everyone is themselves.

Does she have a family?

A kind.

Is she married?

Concubine.

You see, you also have someone next to you.

Five.

Your colleague appreciates our cookies.

You should try them too, they're delicious.

You can go, thank you.

Had you ever seen Tarsi before it came here for restoration?

My father is the head physician at Gaslini Hospital. He knows everyone.

I, Tarsi, had met him at some charity event.

What kind of guy was he?

I would not know.

It was several years ago, I don't frequent those environments anymore.

Why? They were charity events.

Because my father organizes them.

And going there would no longer be appropriate.

My family didn't take my choice of grades well.

I thought having a daughter who was a nun was a joy.

His is a prejudice.

But we suffer a lot of them.

Thanks, you can go.

We're done. We can go.

Excuse me, I wanted to tell you something:

our beloved Baby Jesus, I did some research at the university.

And what did you find?

Which in reality had already been stolen in 1862.

Repentant, however, she had it returned after a year.

Thanks for your research.

This is valuable information that will certainly be useful to us.

Elizabeth would make a good investigator.

Better than Reva for sure.

So, for now we have three hypotheses:

as Elizabeth says, theft by a devout person,

theft on commission, or art...

- Artnapping. - Here.

Or random theft.

The thief finds the door open, approaches to steal,

but, once surprised, he kills Tarsi.

So, he would k*ll a man to steal a relic?

He found himself in a dangerous situation and acted on instinct.

She seems to like this place.

Quiet area, large garden...

Furnished, independent heating... Yes.

I find that reassuring.

With her character, this place is perfect.

Why, what kind of character do I have?

No...

I meant, to say since I know she doesn't like people that much,

At the limits of tolerability.

Oh my God, the plant with these cookies? It annoys me!

If you have to spy on someone, do it properly!

Within.

We passed and saw the light.

Marina wanted to say hello to you.

Okay. Bye. We said goodbye.

What do you want to know?

- The m*rder at the convent. - They k*lled a nun, right?

I heard he was a psychopath.

If so, then you need to do a psych profile...

No, no, no, but this way you're making me fight with your father.

I'm not saying anything.

Marina says she saw photos of a dead man.

Enough now. Get out.

- Are you there for dinner? - I'll finish here.

But when Federico comes back from London, where do you put all your stuff?

I don't know. I haven't thought about it. In the bathroom. Outside!

Out!

Thank you.

But how did he die?

The autopsy confirmed what we had seen immediately:

two shots to the head.

Why do you ask me?

No, like that.

This story has really upset you.

It's a kind of family church.

We are also their benefactors.

You never told me.

I'm telling you now.

It's something my father used to do.

And you kept doing it.

Of course. He would have wanted it that way.

It's a family tradition.

And did you also know about the restoration work on the crypt?

No, no, I don't go into the details of the expenses. No.

I told you not to come.

Seeing a dead body like this...

...it's never easy, not even for us.

Of course, dying like this...

It's also a question of fate:

to be where you shouldn't be.

It looks like a crime scene.

It's quite the opposite. They are a symbol of joy.

Victory over a grave danger faced.

They bear witness to God's mercy towards those who love him.

Do you love him?

Yes.

I am a bride of Christ. Consecrated to Our Lord.

And who wants something so ugly in their home?

It's Saint Agatha.

She suffered severe mutilations with pincers and died a martyr.

on hot coals.

Here. This is how you learn to body shame.

I was telling you that it's not easy to sell a famous relic

like your little baby, here in Italy.

It's easier to place it abroad. In Germany, for example.

You should contact some auction houses.

Thank you, but he is taking care of our little baby.

the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage.

We are investigating the m*rder of Arturo Tarsi.

- Did you know him? He was quite prominent among art collectors in Genoa.

He made contacts, business.

And do you have a list of these contacts?

Tarsi kept the contacts to himself.

to keep treasures at home.

A businessman.

Or a scammer.

In our country, however, scammers go to jail.

Thanks for contacting us, Elisabetta.

It was very helpful to us.

Shall we take you back to the convent?

Thanks, no need, my sisters came to pick me up,

let's go to university.

- Damn, I forgot my bag in the store! - I'll go, I'll go.

Here it is.

I leave it everywhere.

Beautiful. Is it new?

At Christmas, a gift from Marco.

He never wears it.

But are we really talking about my bag?

Go back to the police station and find out what the situation is with the witness.

He still has two days.

Where is the data for Tarsi's other SIM?

Do you think Tarsi had anything directly to do with the theft?

She certainly wasn't as good as Sister Adriana told us.

See you tonight!

See you this evening.

[SOFT BACKGROUND MUSIC]

[PHONE RINGS]

Antonio.

And where are they? At the Samarkand. Where are you?

Your home.

Damn.

Damn...

[BACKGROUND MUSIC AND VOICES]

It's over there.

Here we are with the gin!

I drove around half of Genoa to find it.

I think they also sell it from the Pakistani guy down here.

I forgot your birthday.

Really?

But I thought you'd remind me this morning.

Well, it usually doesn't work that way.

You know you can't count on me.

For breakfast, lunch...

Dinners and any ritual of collective life.

And even less so, birthdays.

Excuse me.

Don't worry, I don't really care about getting older.

Oh, tell me, I haven't celebrated a birthday since 1986.

Congratulations.

Reva, take off that stupid expression,

the boy showed up spontaneously.

- Convenient. Umaru, right? - Yes.

- Can we use the informal "tu"? - Sure.

Why did you leave that evening without waiting for my colleagues?

My residence permit has expired.

I made the request for renewal,

but they haven't let me know anything yet.

And I thought maybe I was going to have some problems.

- How long have you been in Italy? - Since I was six years old.

Thanks for coming. I really appreciate it.

So, tell me what you saw.

I saw a man coming out of the door of a church.

He couldn't see well because he was wearing a hoodie.

and the whole face covered.

Then he started running.

So, you wouldn't be able to recognize it?

No. But he was young.

He was staggering. I mean, he seemed drunk, that's why I noticed.

What time was it?

Maybe ten or a little earlier.

Any other details? Did he have anything in his hand?

- An object... - Yes.

He had... He had a duffel bag under his arm,

with a kind of shield printed on it, like... Like the football ones.

At one point, while he was running he fell.

Then he got up, kept running and disappeared from there.

Thank you, Umaru.

Now a colleague will show you some sports badges

and let's see if you might recognize it.

Agree.

Do you already have a date for renewing your residence permit?

No.

No, but I would like to stay here with my brothers.

My family is here.

Reva!

Were you here the whole time? You could have come in.

No, Inspector, there's something else I wanted to tell you...

Better later.

A report has arrived from the Carabinieri.

Someone tried to sell the statue on the black market,

on the dark web.

And how much did they ask for? - 150,000 euros.

But...

The Carabinieri expert says that the value could be that,

More or less. - A figure worth k*lling for, I'd say.

the telephone company asked us for a couple more days,

Should I start jotting down a report?

Yes. Go, Monte.

This way we get Pessone out of our hair.

I checked the convent's accounts. They're fine.

There are several families who subsidize it

and... one is that of the deputy inspector's wife.

Yes, I already know that.

And he also knows that three months ago he withdrew a bank transfer

for the restoration of the crypt?

No, not this.

- Good, Reva. But we'll keep this to ourselves. - Sure.

- So... no disciplinary action? - We'll see.

Meanwhile, he finds a way to get Umaru a new residence permit.

Meaning what?

Salve!

Sorry to bother you again, but this is a sensitive issue.

Sensitive issues are my specialty, I deal with souls.

Here, no, there's a dead man here, it's all extremely earthly.

Tell me, Inspector.

Why didn't he tell me that Beatrice withdrew the bank transfer three months ago?

for the restoration of the crypt?

Beatrice didn't want Tarsi to take care of it,

but I already had an agreement with him.

That's all. It didn't seem important to me.

So, who paid for the restoration?

Another family.

One of those devotees who have access to the chapel.

But didn't he say that only you nuns have access to the chapel?

They are benefactor families, we cannot deny them the right

to come and pray for their loved ones buried there.

So, does Beatrice have the keys too?

But yes, of course.

Antonio says you come here to think.

Or when I'm in trouble.

Did you already know Tarsi?

Yes.

He had taken care of the restoration of the frescoes in my palace.

And he hadn't done a good job.

So when I heard the church had chosen him...

...I told Sister Adriana that I would not finance the works

where he was.

He was incompetent.

Yet it appears to us that he had an excellent resume.

This is not the experience I had.

Did you know him well?

Just for the time he worked in my building.

Why didn't you tell Antonio these things?

Beatrice, do you have the keys to the chapel?

and you left out some information. Why?

[quietly] It's complicated.

- It's complicated. - Yes.

Yes, Beatrice, it's extremely complicated, it's a m*rder case.

We need to know everything.

At that time...

That evening, between ten and eleven, were you with Antonio?

I was with him when Sister Adriana called me about the theft.

AND?

Antonio is a special man.

And I don't want him to stop looking at me the way he looks at me now.

Excuse me.

[MUSIC AND SCREAMS FROM THE TV]

What's up?

Beatrice...

She is involved in the convent case.

That's exactly the point.

I don't know whether to tell him or move on alone.

No, you can't cut Antonio out.

You are too...

What?

Eh, you too...

Antonio is in love with Beatrice.

He could lose objectivity and mess everything up.

Maybe because you can't do it with Antonio.

No, I don't like bringing work home.

Eh, but you like talking about it with Marina.

Because I trust her, but not you.

Look, I don't bite, you know?

Sin.

You showed her Deep Red...

It's too early for her.

He immediately understood who the k*ller was.

She will become an extraordinary mass m*rder*r.

What happens?

This is the data from Tarsi's second SIM.

Beatrice's number is also inside.

Did she know anything about it?

How many times?

Antonio, if two people talk on the phone even just once,

they're related, right?

And we're investigating that.

How long have you been investigating my wife without telling me anything?

Before I talk about it, I wanted to understand.

Beatrice told me that she was at home with her that evening.

Yes.

She arrived late, after dinner.

Where was it before?

I do not know.

What do you think you're going to do?

I was thinking of coming over to your house for a chat.

Informally.

And why?

If there has to be an investigation, let it be a proper investigation.

And let it be a formal interrogation.

- Antonio... - Here, at the police station.

No, thanks, no.

I think I want it.

Am I a suspect?

For...

You didn't k*ll him, did you?

No.

Okay.

However, there is a phone call between you and Tarsi on the evening of the m*rder.

It's an extremely complicated situation.

Yes, it is.

Were you and Tarsi in a relationship?

Yes.

It was before Antonio.

We met when he came to do some work in my building.

And then what happened?

He was married. I knew it.

And after a while we broke up.

Beatrice... what else is there?

It's just that sometimes we overestimate ourselves.

We tell ourselves "I am like this"...

"I decide", "I control"...

Instead, we get lost, like everyone else.

As a restorer he did not have a great reputation.

He was smuggling around, I knew it and I pretended nothing was happening.

I even thought that knowing me would change him.

Forget about it...

I recommended him for important jobs.

Did you report it to the curia?

Yes.

He insisted, he always insisted.

And I indulged him... but it was never enough for him.

So when I realized what it really was, I ran away.

But he continued to use my contacts

even after we broke up.

Why did he call you that night?

He knew that I had withdrawn the money for the restoration of the crypt.

He understood that I would burn the earth around him.

That evening on the phone...

...he was screaming, he was raving...

...he told me he had secretly made some videos.

Videos of the two of us.

And that he would get them out.

I don't know... I got confused.

I didn't know what to do.

Is that all?

Why didn't you come and tell me right away?

But because I was scared. I'm scared.

There is no video, Beatrice.

Nothing at all, I assure you.

I'm sorry I've never been lucky in love.

That's true. You got married, Antonio.

What am I doing here if I can't protect you?

The early days...

...when we returned from the cruise...

...I kept seeing him.

How long did it last?

Bit.

How much?

Less than a month.

After that I never saw or heard from him again.

That's enough.

It just is.

Before you, I only had one important woman in my life:

my wife.

I am an old-fashioned man.

Petra always tells me that, she's making fun of me.

But I am what I am, Beatrice.

I know about b*llet casings, about telephone records,

but I don't know anything about these things.

Excuse me.

Sorry, sorry...

Do you miss it?

Well, it's not exactly a pet.

So why did we come to visit him?

I came to pay the installment. He's here on pension.

So it's not true that you got rid of it.

I tried.

But he looked at me with those sweet eyes.

You don't have to tell your dad, okay?

I don't tell him.

He just doesn't want to share the case with anyone.

He likes solitude.

I think so.

What's up?

[PHONE RINGS]

Yes.

Okay, I'll be right there.

- Have they found the k*ller? - Enough! Let's go!

You wait for me here, I'll be quick.

All right.

[DOOR OPENS]

No, don't touch it, I'll do it.

It is the fabric of our Baby Jesus' garment.

That's it, I'm sure of it.



We have the statue of Jesus. If you pay, we'll give it back to you.



Whose hands did it end up in?

Not good, judging by the lexicon.

I read it on the notes you have on the table.

Anyway, we're giving this to the forensic team to analyze.

Will they smash the relic to pieces?

I don't know, but these are definitely not professional criminals.

Handwritten note, no specific instructions for exchange

and 10,000 euros... is a ridiculous amount.

Do the nuns have 10,000 euros?

The Church is a thousand-year-old and very rich institution.

- We're not rich. - You're not, but your bosses are.

However, one thing is certain: you don't have to pay.

for 150,000 euros and now they're only asking for 10,000?

The thief must be desperate.

Or maybe it was Tarsi, the one who wanted to sell her.

Well, then why did they k*ll him?

A lite.

He wanted more money, or maybe Tarsi wanted out.

We can't know.

What is certain is that they have a treasure and they don't know what to do with it.

He must have given these thieves an advance.

We need to double-check Tarsi's bank transactions.

What's wrong with him?

It's just that if I think about the one with Beatrice...

...it makes me angry...

Antonio, Beatrice loves her.

And when we love someone, we don't have to carry their past.

Imagine if Marco had done it.

We weren't there, period. It's over. What matters is what's ahead.

It's almost nine o'clock, shall we order something?

In fact, it would be dinner time.

There are some pizzas to heat up in the microwave.

Or yes, let's order something.

No, no, no, no.

What microwave? No, I'll make something.

Is Marco coming to dinner?

No, he has a work thing.

Then follow me.

Chef Monte teaches you haute cuisine.

[VOICE]

[DOOR SLAM] Of course.

Thank you.

Dad! Come on, Antonio did it all, it feels like Christmas!

But what a lovely surprise!

- It's a carb festival. - Of course, they're fried! - Next time, he'll make liver.

What? You don't want chicken breast from me, but you want liver from him?

Sorry, I made a wonderful parmigiana. Of course, it's diet-friendly.

[VOICES INAUDIBLE]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Are you and dad breaking up?

But how does it come to mind?

I know you smoke in the bathroom.

You can't hold back the smoke, it comes out everywhere.

And does it bother you?

No, it doesn't bother me. And neither does Dad.

It doesn't bother anyone. Smoke as much as you want.

like a case of artnapping.

Have you studied the precedents? Have you spoken to your colleagues in the force?

Have you heard of Interpol?

No, nothing.

You didn't do anything.

Actually, Reva tried...



They are nuns.

that we should pay the ransom.

But do you understand what kind of impression we make of ourselves?

But do you want to move?

How much it annoys me when Pessone is right, you have no idea!

Pessone is never right. On principle.

They found a drug addict dead from an overdose in an apartment

at the Biscione. - Call the Narcotics Department. What do we have to do with this?

I'm already there. There's something you need to see.

Thank you.

The roommates. Both addicts.

Sorry, ex-drug addicts.

The dead man is Stefano Caraschi, 29 years old, with a criminal record for drug dealing.

It's an apartment that the recovery community gave him.

from which they emerged a couple of years ago.

Who found it?

The one with the mustache. Same resume as the dead guy.

HI.

I'm very sorry about Stefano.

Why, did he know him?

No. But you do.

How long had it been since he started using it again?

We don't know.

He didn't want anyone to know that he had started again,

that's why he used to sh**t himself in the feet.

We would have helped him, we would have warned the community.

-How long have you been living together? -A year.

But we are clean.

Will they take our house away from us now?

Are they letting us go back to the community?

We are clean.

Stefano was clean too.

We don't know why it started again.

Had something happened lately?

I do not know.

He hadn't messed up in a long time.

He had a normal life, but in the last few months something had changed.

Did he have a job?

Yes.

As a waiter at the university bar.

He had also broken up with the girlfriend.

Did Stefano have a girlfriend?

Yes...

But it had been over for a while.

How long? Do you know who he was?

So, at some point he gave up everything.

What happened to him?

We don't know.

Stefano was good.

He was good, Stefano.

You tell us what happened to him.

One taught restoration courses, the other worked at the bar.

And they both needed money.

Tarsi always needed it,

we have now understood the profile of that...

Stefano, however, for a reason we don't know,

he had started taking drugs again.

Theoretically it was supposed to be a simple theft,

since Tarsi had free access to the relic.

Theoretically.

They might have argued.

Maybe for the money they would have made

from the sale of the statue.

Maybe Stefano didn't mean to k*ll him. He wasn't a criminal.

No, but a desperate drug addict is capable of anything.

Real.

The same old story:

money is the main motive for m*rder.

Well, no, the first is always the passionate one.

And this tells us a lot about the nature of human beings.

Isn't it because she k*lled Tarsi?

- He was also a handsome man. - Who?

The dead man.

Can you avoid mentioning him?

Is he still jealous?

He's dead, Antonio.

She had one rival in love, only one.

And he found out he was already dead.

But you can be satisfied, right?

Here you are.

["HUMAN BEHAVIOUR" BJORK]

["HUMAN BEHAVIOUR" BJORK]

["HUMAN BEHAVIOUR" BJORK]

I spoke to a colleague at the bar who worked with Stefano.

He hadn't been there for a while.

How much?

Two months.

Practically disappeared overnight.

Have them check whether there has been any telephone contact

between him and Tarsi, the restorer.

- Both SIMs. - Already done. No contact.

Never a call between the two.

You can go.

Reva?

Thanks, great.

Go, go.

Evidently those two were cautious, they didn't call each other.

They only spoke to each other in person when they met at university.

No.

"No," thing?

But why someone like Tarsi, from the wealthy Genoa,

someone who uses Beatrice to reach the right contacts,

should you go into partnership with a former drug addict?

Maybe he also exploited Stefano.

He was a fragile boy and he used him to commit the theft.

What time is it?

- Half past two. - Come on, let's go.

He was young, but already with many lives.

That one over there, see? Her early life, her family, her childhood friends...

Those from high school...

Those from the university.

And then the friends of the recovery community.

[VOICES INAUDIBLE]

Ivan said that Stefano had a girlfriend.

You find her and talk to her.

Excuse me, I was in the garden.

Today we planted eggplants.

How beautiful she is!

Thank you.

For the first time since the tragedy,

It seems to me that some peace has returned here to the convent.

She cares a lot about her girls.

They are my sisters.

It is an important term that defines the concept of family.

Extended family.

Family of Our Lord.

We sit at his table.

I imagine they confide in her a lot.

Yes, certainly.

What was the relationship between Elizabeth and Tarsi?

No relationship.

She had taken her restoration course and had gone a few times

on the construction site.

Why are you asking me this?

Elisabetta helped us a lot with the investigations.

Not always in the right direction.

I can?

Okay.

Do you want one of mine?

I quit.

- Oh, yeah? - A foil.

If our relic had returned and the case had been solved,

I would have stopped smoking.

The case is not closed.

Without the veil, she was not a nun, she was a woman.

And a beautiful woman, too, I imagine. She has a nice staff.

Monte, what are you doing, looking at the nuns' asses?

- But do you think I'm... - A nice staff...

I don't know, does he also own a gramophone?

However, there was no girlfriend at the funeral.

And everyone told me he didn't have it.

Except Ivan, the roommate.

Exactly. And you know what the craziest thing is?

Ivan told me he had also glimpsed her there, at the funeral.

So he knew her?

He had seen her only once, in their apartment, with Stefano.

- And did you find her? - When we went looking for her, she was gone.

Maybe Ivan had some kind of vision.

Tomorrow we have to go back to the convent.

Why?

I have a feeling, today in church I saw...

I don't know, I'm missing something.

You come here very often. You've already spoken with the sisters.

As I told you, we just have to meet Claudia,

Ines and Elisabetta. - Can we?

May I know what's going on?

No, he can't know that.

Inspector, I'm in charge of those girls.

Spiritually, perhaps, but not legally.

Did you know Stefano?

The boy from the university bar, Stefano Caraschi.

- We know who he is. - And that he's dead.

They told us at university.

Is that where you met him?

We saw him fleetingly, we didn't say we knew him.

So why were you at his funeral?

It's not true, no one went there.

None of you?

Are you sure?

This is a place of gathering and prayer,

not an interrogation room.

Get back to your duties. Up!

Otherwise I will be forced to notify the curia.

Police. What are you doing?

They postponed the restoration, we are taking the material away.

Thank you.

Do you want to see the crypt one last time?

I'd say yes, we've never seen it without canvases and scores.

[PULSE MUSIC]

This looks like blood...

[RAP MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND]

[VOICE]

[NOYZ NARCOS AND SINE'S "VIRUS" IN THE BACKGROUND]

Should I freeze everything, waiting for this authorization?

[KNOCKING]

Sorry, I was on the phone. Tell me.

Come on, ask me.

No, I won't give you that satisfaction.

Come on!

Where did you sleep last night?

I don't care. How's the case going?

We're almost there.

I'm trying to put the pieces together and understand.

I'm missing the conclusion.

A bit like between the two of us.

That one of those nuns was Tarsi's accomplice in the theft of the Baby Jesus?

But how? Why?

The theft happened after, Antonio.

And it was just a cover-up attempt.

So it was like we thought from the beginning:

Tarsi has nothing to do with it,

he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There was something much more important in the crypt.

Something Stefano was in a hurry to take away.

Did the analysis on the sample confirm that it was blood?

Very adulterated. They're trying to make something out of it.

Erminia said she'll let us know as soon as possible.

But are you convinced that one of them was at Stefano's funeral?

I don't know, but all three knew him.

And one of them may have had a relationship with him.

How do you intend to proceed?

We're talking about church people, Antonio.

What is the strongest feeling there is?

Faith.

The sense of guilt.

There is nothing more powerful in the world:

to feel guilty of an action that goes against the rules of morality

and religion.

You feel like crap, you feel disgusted with yourself.

Take off your veil.

You can't ask us.

I'm sure you can't smoke here.

Did you know that your Mother Superior smokes too?

How many things you don't know about her.

Nor she of you.

A few days ago we decided to give in to the ransom demand

by Stefano Caraschi.

And we paid 10,000 euros.

is like giving a truckload of candy to a child.

He can't resist.

It will be done and done again, until we die.

To protect whom?

What was hidden under that tombstone?

Nail.

I'll repeat the question my colleague asked you earlier:

What was under the tombstone?

We found this.

- My baby. - Shut up, what are you saying?

You had an ab*rtion and hid it there.

Ines had told me to get rid of it,

but I didn't make it.

Did you bury him?

And did you know that?

I didn't want him to go to hell.

I did it out of Christian piety.

I needed to have him close by and be able to pray for him.

I had to make amends for what I had done.

And when the work started, you were afraid they might find out.

And you asked Stefano to help you get it out of there.

Stefano didn't want to k*ll Tarsi!

then he started screaming, he wanted to call the police,

Stefano got scared and started hitting him.

It was me...

...to tell him to take the statue of Baby Jesus.

I knew it was worth a lot.

It would have looked like a robbery.

Is Sister Adriana also your accomplice? In this whole story?

Sister Adriana doesn't know anything. - Please... don't tell her.

I was wrong.

Stefano loved me, he was fragile...

...and I got lost... to be close to him.

I doubted my faith.

But now I understand.

I live only for the love of Our Lord.

Ines helped her, right?

Is she the one who procured the ab*rtion?

Yes.

He works at the clinic, he knew what to do.

If only they had told me about it...

They didn't succeed.

They love her too much.

They couldn't disappoint her.

I wasn't able to see all this pain around me.

Your clothes can hide the truth well.

This dress is the symbol that unites us in our love for Our Lord.

But sometimes to unite people, love is not enough.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[DOORBELL]

Did you keep your house?

Yes.

Always?

And why didn't you tell me?

I don't know, I haven't been here much.

The other night... I felt like staying over here.

And you could have done more.

Did you think I wouldn't understand?

I only did it when I felt the need.

My house is too small for you.

The boys...

I love you and the boys, you know that.

- It's not that. - So what is it?

Mh?

Were you convinced that things wouldn't work out between you and me?

Are you missing something?

No, Marco.

I miss myself.

Well, too bad, because...

...I can't fight this.

Or yes?

Unfortunately not.

It hurts.

I know.

Don't run away from Marina...

You did everything you could.

You too.

Your way.
