Tonna has been navigating on the Po or 50 years.
It's not what he would do.

Maybe he had problems in steering it.
I'll give the radio alarm.
That barge carries 200 tons.
It could bump against the bridge.
The current will take it under the arcades.
It'll stop in Berra.

His name is Alemanni.
He is retiring soon.
- What's he like? - A guy who avoids trouble.
- There he is.
I'll introduce him.

I'm going to the ward irst.
Have the victim's head injuries checked, and then let me know.
Alright.
I heard the door slam, but I thought it was the wind.
- Where were you? - On the phone.
We didn't notice when the poor soul jumped below.
- Nobody heard anything.
- I made the rounds o the ward.
- Did anyone know the victim? Everyone did.
He was hospitalised here two years ago.
After he was dismissed, he came almost every day.
He talked to the new patients, and was the ward's mascot.
Did anyone have a closer relationship with him? Number 15, Sartori.
He was a bit more conidential with him.
- Sartori? - Yes, but he is resting now.
- See you tomorrow.
Thanks.
- Goodbye.
- Need help? - Move.
You're blocking the light.
Soneri, we're coming.
We're inished down there.
They're moving the body.
Do me a avour.
Tell your boys to check this ootprint.
- Maybe it's the dead man's.
- Don't you think Tonna killed himsel? Someone could have pushed him.
He would have screamed.
Someone would have heard him.
We'll know more ater the autopsy.
Don't get any strange ideas.
Alemanni is thinking about iling the case as a suicide.
We'll see.
Want to bet a dinner that tomorrow Alemanni will ile the case? I choose the wine.
Okay.
I'll close up.
- Hey.
- What is it? You were right.
The barge got stuck in Berra.
- Did they ind Tonna? - No.
Nobody was in the cabin.

Come.
- Thanks.
- I kept your place warm.
I'm returning to the robbery squad.
These are two o my men.
Hello.
This Luvara guy they gave you as an assistant, what do you think? I barely know him.
I think the Chie o Police did it or spite.
- Why? - He's not it or investigations.
Where did they get him? Maybe at the switchboard.
I you want, I'll give you one o my men.
Your office is this way.
You and the Chie o Police knew each other? - We worked together 10 years ago.
- There was some riction.
- How do you know? - A sensation.
What do you say about my proposal? - Luvara is okay or the time being.
- Sure? I have sensations too.
- Thanks, Draghi.
- This is your office.
See you soon.
Good morning.
- Everything okay? - Yes, sir.
Tonna Decimo.
Retired artisan, bachelor, lived alone in the city.
Four years ago he was treated or depression.
Anything else? - I don't know i you are interested.
- Go on.
Ex-enlisted man o social Republic, expatriated to South America.
Go visit Tonna's apartment.
- Go with officer Musumeci? - Yes.
A lady is waiting or you in the other room.
She is a lawyer.
She says it's urgent.
Shall I tell her to come later? No, let her in.
STILL NO TRACE OF ANTEO TONNA AND HIS BARGE Luvara, orget that Tonna's apartment.
Do some research on Anteo Tonna.
He disappeared last night.
Right away.
- Come in.
- May I? Hello.
I'm Angela Cornelio.
- My pleasure.
Sit down.
- Thanks.
- Excuse me, but I've little time.
- I'm sorry to bother you but it is a delicate matter.
- What is it? - A stranger sends me lowers.
- Is that an urgency? With the lowers, he sends me this too.
"I will have you in your bed, naked among these lowers.
" "I want to suck you like a candy.
" - They're all like that? - Even worse.
One talks o chains and torture that he has in mind or me.
- Any idea who he is? - None.
Maybe it's someone who works with you.
- It doesn't seem possible.
- Don't worry.
We'll investigate.
Make out a regular report beore leaving.
I don't want to show that note to anyone else.
I am very busy.
- Can you come back some other time? - Alright.
My number is on the envelope.
- Should I call you? - Thanks.
He has many injuries that are compatible with the all.
- There could be a ormer cause.
- I don't exclude that.
- Soneri.
- Judge.
- We were waiting or you.
- Excuse me.
I had a little problem.
- Did you talk to the doctor? - Yes.
The autopsy conirms suicide.
- I wouldn't make hasty decisions.
- I know what you are thinking.
- Nanetti mentioned something to me.
- Yes.
Why do you believe that? Read here.
What does the lood have to do with it? Anteo Tonna, who disappeared in the Po, is the dead man's brother.
- Maybe there is a connection.
- I'm going back to work.
Thanks, Doctor.
What will you do? You would like me to unite the two investigations.
- How was theagnolini? - Very good.
- I'm glad to see you again.
- After, I would like I'll take care o it.
Wild boar with polenta.
No I wanted to diet, but he always does what he pleases.
- Nothing has changed.
- We met here, remember? You had just got married to Ada.
Sorry i I wasn't present during the autopsy, but I avoid that i I can.
- What do you think? - Two brothers, the same day one disappears and the other dies.
It is very strange.
- Do you think they killed them? - I'd like to know more about Anteo.
The judge could be right.
Two brothers decided to end it together.
It doesn't convince me.
By the way, a lawyer came, Cornelio.
- Do you know her? - Yes.
Everyone knows "the Russian.
" She is a brilliant lawyer, but I think she's even better as a woman.
One district attorney lost his head over her, and then the trial.
Come on Take it away Hurry - You must close that shack.
- Who takes care o our boats? I'm calling the DA office.
I'll make you go away.
- Sergeant major.
- Did they call the police orce too? I am here or the Anteo Tonna matter.
That's all we needed Good thing they sent you.
They took the holiday and there are ew o us.
- Any news? - I signalled the person missing, but no answer.
People are emptying their houses now.
He has a niece.
She manages a cae.
- You didn't know? - He didn't see her much.
Her son worked with her uncle, but hasn't worked there or months.
- It's or you.
- Hello? Yes, Colonel.
I will take care o it immediately.
The barge is moored at Berra.
You want to take a look? - I you need me, I'm in town.
- Alright.
It's rising.
- The Maresciallo is right.
- He doesn't know a thing.
Are you rom here? No.
I am Chie Soneri.
My pleasure.
Okay, we're moving out.
We are leaving in two hours.
What did you want to know? When did you last see Tonna? - He moored two days ago.
- Nobody saw him leave? We didn't even know he was on board until he turned on the lights.
Was he the person at the helm? It's 100 meters here to the dock.
And it was pouring.
Was he a riend o someone here at the club? - Thanks or your sincerity - He liked being alone.
Sometimes he went with his niece's son.
He's not made or the river.
He preers a comortable lie.
Nobody knows what happened to him.
I think we just have to wait.
The Po River returns everything.
- Even the dead.
- Yes, even the dead.
He used to sit there or 10 minutes, and then went to another room.
Even i he spoke little, we had become riends.
- Did he tell you anything personal? - No, never.
When we spoke o the past, when we were young, he changed the subject.
He didn't like to remember.
Had you noticed anything strange lately? Yes, just recently.
He was a bit nervous.
Do you think he was araid o something? Maybe.
He surely did not like being alone.
- I'm Soneri.
- Good morning, Chie.
- I'll go with you.
- No, I can go by mysel.
"Sixtieth anniversary, Nibbio.
" I said everything I know to the Carabinieri.
Do you have any idea why your uncle committed suicide? No.
He loved lie, his boat, the river.
I something happened to him, it was an accident.
- Did someone threaten him maybe? - Some people hated him, but that goes back 50 years.
Because he had been a Fascist? The town has always been red but most o the old people that were Anteo's age, have passed away.
Kids think o other things.
I am a bit embarrassed but I have bad news or you.
It's about your Uncle Decimo.
- There's been an accident.
- An accident? Yes, he was in the hospital and ell down the stairwell.
We don't know how it happened, but he died on the spot.
Poor Decimo Do you know anything that can help me connect Decimo's death to Anteo's disappearance? Yes, a phone call.
Someone called him here at the cae.
He had a dialect.
- Did you know him? - No, but he must have been old.
He called him with his old nickname, Barbisin.
And then? When I told him he wasn't in, he hung up.
- I was looking or Mr.
Barigazzi.
- He is in the other room.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
How is the club going? Did you move out? Yes.
We take turns staying on the pier to watch the boats.
- This is the Seamen's Club board.
- My pleasure.
- What are we eating tonight? - Forget it.
His hearing aid is off.
Five.
- I hope he knows what it's or.
- Trust me.
- Cheers - Cheers to you, too.
The lie boat was on board the last time I saw it.
It's not there.
It was lowered when the barge got stuck in the sand.
Was it Tonna? No.
He would never have abandoned his barge.
He was very ond o it.
He had a lot o unsettled accounts in town.
This was a border area during the war.
Partisan gangs.
- What's that got to do with it? - Barigazzi.
Come on - Tonna was a Fascist.
- We were two kids at the time and those two weren't even born.
- Some things are not easy to orget.
I don't agree.
My grandchildren know nothing o Fascism.
They will slam their aces up a wall, too.
- But Tonna was a leader.
- Yes, it is hard to orget.
- He was a bastard.
- How was he saved during the liberation? He went away a couple o years.
But, believe me, he deserved to be shot.
I am talking about that period.
He is just a poor old man now.
Yes, an old man.
Yes? It's Nanetti.
Sorry or calling you at this time but your cell was off.
What is it? We have the results of the footprint on the hospital closet.
Well? The sole o the shoes belongs to Decimo Tonna.
When they pushed him over, he tried to resist.
Yes.
Then they hit him and pushed him over.
Thanks.
The inundation will pass between Friday night and Saturday.
Right now the situation doesn't seem to worry the experts.
Anyway, the Emilia Romagna region asked for a state of emergency.
This ootprint is not evidence - It means something.
- It was a gesture o anger.
A person beore committing suicide kicks a closet? Forget it What we need here are acts Bring me concrete evidence.
I talked to the DA.
We will ile it in a ew days.
What? The boatman investigation will go to the competent magistrate.
That is all.
For the time being.
- Chie.
- Good morning.
- Were you about to send him to hell? - Who? - The judge.
- Sure - That's how everyone reacts to him.
- Yes.
I have a case with him which I can't conclude.
Why? He rejects all my reports.
He does it on purpose or is insensitive.
I should have called you, but I had a terrible week.
- Did you receive other messages? - No.
- I'll help you.
- Thanks.
That maniac must know you very well, considering what he writes to you.
We all know one another here.
I can have the lorist stores tapped along with your phone.
Sartori.
I am Soneri.
The head o the ward said you wanted to talk to me.
Yes.
I remembered one thing.
I don't know i it can be useul.
Decima was obsessed with ire.
- Fire? - Yes, ire.
He got goose bumps just talking about it.
A ew weeks ago he told me about a house that burned down.
It must have happened when he was young, during the war.
Did he say anything else? He had a strange expression on his ace.
He just said that certain things are not orgotten.
- Damn that Po - Will you survive? Be careul.
I you keep on sneezing, you'll end up in the river.
Hold me, hold me.
Hold me Check the ingerprints on the bridge.
I'll look at the cargo.
- Well? - I'm almost inished here.
- Will you check the hold later? - No, I'm not going down there.
- I am allergic to gramineae.
- There is no wheat down there.
A lot o people went through there.
I'm going.
No, wait, I need a help.
I want to take a look at the Seamen Club.
Don't go - Soneri, Soneri - He is working.
They had to call the police to get me out o there.
- Bastard You made me look awful.
- I didn't mean to.
Well? An army o poor people went through there, even children.
- Clandestine? - O course.
They land there and barges take them to the Veneto region or here.
The Po is saer than trucks or trains.
There aren't controls.
Wait a minute.
I'll call you back.
Damn it Have you ever heard o houses burned by Fascists here, - between 1944 and 1945? - No, never.
- Not even arther down in the valley? - It's possible.
- There was a Partisan, Nibbio.
- I've never heard o that name.
There were hundreds o Partisans here.
They went rom one side to another over the river.
I don't understand the reason or these questions.
It's history Actually, time has never gone by or you people.
- I don't understand.
- No? What happened to Tonna? I told you, I don't know.
And why, ater so many years, should we take it out on him? - You tell me - I wish I could What the heck? I had it brought back rom Berra to check it.
I'm very busy now.
I you need me, I am here.
Thanks.
One last thing.
I saw a boatman earlier in the woods area.
Who would go out on a day like this? Maybe he was a hunter.
I don't think so.
When a pheasant took light, he let.
We didn't need these clandestines You've already heard about this kind o dealings? O course not.
We know very little o what happens here.
Maybe Tonna disappeared because he was involved in strange dealings, Alright.
I will send some men to investigate with our port people.
- Thanks.
- We'll see i we can ind him.
Yes? - May I? I am Angela Cornelio.
- No.
What is it? What happened? - I received more lowers.
- Okay, let's meet.
The judge talked to a couple o reporters about the investigation.
- What did he say? - You're in a dead end road.
- Bullshit - What? - Nothing.
Excuse me.
- Was I intrusive? Not at all.
I'll be in Ferrara in the evening.
We can eat something together.
- Okay.
Where? - At Alceste's.
At 8:30 I'll be there.
- I won't read this to you.
- I preer you don't.
Raw vegetables or the lady, stewed meat or the gentleman.
Great.
- Sure you want to eat that stuff? - Yes.
It'll depress you.
- Taste this.
I'll put it here.
- I I taste it, I won't stop.
I am on a diet.
It's good, huh? Tell me something.
- Why did you choose me? - I trust you.
Let's hope or the best I've only been here two days.
You have a certain reputation, people told me about you.
- Good things? - Not very.
A negative judgement by some people is a good reerence.
That's how I eel.
It's a twisted way o understanding people.
But i it works I hope I don't disappoint you.
I don't think so.
So your ather is Italian.
Where does your oreign accent come rom? My mother is Russian.
I lived with her until I was 18 ater my parents divorced.
Then I went to the University o Bologna.
I met my husband there, but it didn't work out.
I'm the only one talking.
I know.
My job is making others talk.
- Don't you usually talk? - I tried to create a amily too but I wasn't able.
I know.
I am sorry.
I didn't want to ruin dinner, but I thought o those messages.
There is something strange, very conidential.
It's as i he knew you.
Do you suspect anyone? Maybe.
Who? I don't know i it's him.
His name is Laureano.
Guido Laureano.
He was my client.
He was a two bit criminal.
I got him a conditioned sentence.
Then I ound out he was hospitalised in a psychiatric clinic.
Why didn't you tell me right away? Then it's not true you trust me.
Now I do.
- Okay.
- This is it.
I live here.
Thank you or everything.
We ound it at the end o the search in Decimo's house.
Now we have something.
"Sixtieth anniversary.
Nibbio.
" Both brothers received the same note.
Go to the Resistance archive and see i in the area - there's a Partisan called Nibbio.
- I'll look on the Internet.
No.
- These things are done personally.
- You don't trust computers? No.
Exercise is good or the brain.
Any news on Laureano? - He was in jail until a month ago.
- Why? Robbery and sexual abuse.
- Let's ind him.
- He is not at his old address.
- What do the lorists say? - Nobody remembers him.
Continue investigating, and then we'll catch up with each other.
Yes.
Soneri It's the last time you drag me in that place.
You caught cold? - What've you got here? - The irst results o the barge tests.
During the last trip, Anteo was not at the helm.
It was someone else.
Tonna would never have someone else steer the barge.
So? That evening Tonna was not on the boat.
Yes? I am Chie Soneri.
I was looking or Claretta.
She's not here.
- I know who you are.
- I am Romano.
You worked with your Uncle Anteo, right? Yes, a couple o weeks and that was enough.

We're the only ones here in town Good I can see you are intelligent.
- Can I ask you a question? - Yes.
When you worked with your uncle on the barge, did you ever notice something strange? No.
It was always the same, shitty work.
Did he take people on the barge once in a while? No.
- He always travels alone.
- Below the deck? I don't know anything.
You know who threatened your uncle, don't you? What? No, I don't.
- Do you know the Seamen Club people? - No.
I don't deal with them.
They hate us because we are well off.
They are Communists, beggars.
You eel the same way your uncle does.
You are just the same.
- Yes? - I am Soneri.
- I recognised you.
- How are you? - Fine.
I am relaxing.
- Yes? I am taking a bath.

He came by my office to get the Laureano ile.
- Any news? - No.
I something happens, advise me right away.
Alright.
Good morning.

I want to know something about Tonna.
Know him? I've heard o him.
Because he was a Fascist or that he's a boatman? What do you think? - He did not leave nice memories.
- Some widows, some orphans.
But people here orget easily.
- I think he ended up very badly.
- Sure.
He was not right in the head.
- Look at how his barge got stuck in sand.
- Maybe he just let.
Who knows.
Thanks.
- Who was Nibbio? - I've never heard o him.
He was a Partisan.
Many have come by here Anyway, don't ask us.
- We were not there at that time.
- I asked someone but he didn't know what to answer.
- Who? - Barigazzi.
He has changed.
He does dealings with everyone, even the bosses.
And you? We have remained the same.
- Congratulations - We met a lot o police.
- What do you want rom us? - I just want to ind Tonna.
I don't care about anything else.
- Good evening.
- Your phone doesn't work.
- How did you ind me? - I called the office and - Luvara? - Yes.
- What happened? - There was a message on my voice mail.
- It was him.
He's coming to my house.
- Was it Laureano's voice? - I think so.
- Wait.
- Hello? - It's me.
- Did you know your mobile was off? - Yes.
- I need a squad car for surveillance.
- There aren't any.
They are at the banquet or the inauguration o the air.
- There are two ministers.
- Advise me when one is available.
Okay.
The Chie o Police wants to see you.
- I am busy now.
- The appointment is tomorrow at 9 a.
m.
Judge Alemanni complained - o exclusion rom investigation.
- He did everything by himsel.
Tell the Chie I'll go to him tomorrow morning.
Sure.
I'm sorry.
The squad cars area all busy.
I would accompany you, but I must go to the river.
Don't worry.
- I will sleep at a riend's house.
- No, come with me.
At least you are sae there.
I have a car.
Follow me.
- Watch out.
- I'll change my shoes next time.
Yes.
It's a good idea.
- Is it that boatman's barge? - Yes.
Sooner or later someone will come.
Come with me.
Drink this.
It will warm you.
Why didn't you send one o your men here? I preer doing everything mysel.
I'm a sort o artisan.
- I learned rom my ather.
- What did your ather do? He was a carpenter.
Doing an investigation is like making a piece o urniture.
One must know how to choose the right pieces and make them match.
And it's better i the same hand does it.
What is it? Go down and hide.
Don't move Call your riend.
Call him - Are you okay? - Yes.
Bringing you here was not a good idea.
- I'm sorry.
- I was so araid.
- We shouldn't have.
- Why not? Carabinieri? I'd like to talk to Maresciallo Arico.
Wake him up.
It's an emergency.
- Yes? - Sir, this is Luvara.
Musumeci is hiding below attorney Cornelio's house.
Is Musumeci below the attorney's house now? Yes.
- Ahh - Is something the matter? No.
Everything is ine.
Is he staying there all day? - Good morning.
- Musumeci, did you see anything? - No.
- Keep it up.
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Soneri.
I've already heard complaints about you.
- These things happen.
- You will never change.
- Is that a compliment? - You decide.
According to Judge Alemanni Sit down.
You stopped investigating on Decimo Tonna's death to concentrate on the death o his brother.
Is that right? Excuse me, but that is idiotic.
But you didn't inorm the magistrate o your work.
Besides, the press is criticizing your behaviour.
- Is that all? - Isn't it enough? Just by looking at the iles, you can tell the 2 cases are connected.
For Mr.
Alemanni, Decimo's death was to be iled as suicide.
The press criticises me because I don't want to talk to them.
Communicating with the press is important.
You take care o that I'll give you the investigation development within 24 hours.
- So you can hand it over to the press.
- Alright.
I am counting on it.
- Chie.
- Hi.
Yes? This is Maresciallo Aricò.
Can you come to town? - It is urgent.
- I'll be right there.
Who were they? I told the Maresciallo it was dark and I didn't see their aces.
- They were looking or my uncle.
- Did you recognise the voices? - No.
- Were they oreigners? They hit my head.
They beat me like animals I don't remember anything.
Romano, go home.
Your mother is waiting or you.
When you eel better, we'll talk more.
- He's not talking because he's araid.
- But it is clear that it was the dealers, Tonna's accomplices.
Maybe they are the people who tried to get into the barge.
I they are looking or him, they think he is alive.
Maybe he is.
I he did not stick to the agreement, he wanted to disappear.
Maybe he transported drugs besides clandestines.
Maybe.
The provincial command could send backup.
I don't want to tell you what to do.
The case is yours.
Don't worry.
The clandestine story, I'm not interested in.
Really? - Yes, but keep me inormed.
- Sure.
Do you have a lighter? Did they beat him up? You know who it was? No, but whoever it was, did the right thing.
Thanks, Gianna.
Come, Chie.
I met a man called Dinon.
He was in the boat checking the lood level.
I think he was checking the monument to the Partisans.
When there is the lood, it ends up under water.
Is there a monument? Yes.
It is a marble slab in memory o the dead Partisans.
Is Dinon the person who checks? We and they are responsible or its custody and we go on different days.
Excuse me.
Hello.
I am Luvara.
The Chie o Police summoned the press at 6 p.
m.
He promised revelations on the investigation.
What great news We could talk to the reporters about the clandestine matter.
- No.
I gave it to the Carabinieri.
- So what will we do? - Here he is.
- Why did they put it here? This area was the ideal place or the Partisans.
The vegetation was thicker.
They could escape easily via the river.
- Go near the monument.
- Get on the let.
Get closer.
I knew he would have not gone ar Sooner or later the river gives everything back.
Sure Continue with all veriications on the case.
- Alright.
- Do a good job.
Should I make out a report or you? It doesn't matter.
I'll decide what to tell the press.
Goodbye and do a good job.
Chie.
- Well? - His head is bashed in.
Like his brother.
Same weapon, same method.
We'll ind out more ater the autopsy.
- Shall we eat? - Yes.
I am hungry.
- So am I.
- Take a picture close up.
Thanks.
It's good - It was so cold.
- The ideal is a hot soup.
- What is the secret o - He is dea.
- He shuts off his hearing aid and - Oh.
Any idea on the case? I know the motive, but not the murderer.
What do you mean? Decimo and Anteo received the same letter or the sixtieth anniversary.
- What does that mean? It is something that began at the end o World War II.
Decimo and Anteo were part o the same ormation.
They were responsible or a lot o people's death.
After 60 years someone took revenge? When there was the lood, we didn't go to school.
- We rode our bikes to see the Po.
- You lived near here? - No, near the Bondeno.
- So you know the "underwater city".
Yes.
My grandather said there was a city under the water and the eels went inside the houses I thought it was a able.
It really exists.
When the river is looded, the city sinks.
It is on the Venetian side o the river.
It was abandoned with the postwar reclaimed land.
- Where did the inhabitants go? - They took them to some houses, beyond the bank.
Luvara Did you do the research I asked? Yes.
In the Partisan brigade, I didn't ind any Nibbio.
There was a man called Falco and one called Lupo.
Okay.
Thanks.
Let's extend the research or Nibbio in the Venetian region.
Should I go to the area? No.
You can use the phone.
Yes, sir.
The boatman died beore 8 a.
m.
Because o a cerebral trauma.
So what happened on the river was a big scene Well technically Let's talk later.
- Bye.
- Bye Hello.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I looked or you.
- I saw the calls on the mobile.
But I had a hearing in court.
The Carabinieri will steal your investigation.
They're working on an investigation o clandestines on the Po.
- How do you know? - I heard rom a colleague.
Did you miss me? Yes, a little.
For an answer like that, I could disappear or a month.
I was kidding.
I missed you a lot.
You want a kiss in ront o your colleagues? No.
Then promise you will come to my house or dinner tonight.
- I promise.
- I'll be waiting or you.
- Barigazzi - Chie, come.
It is warmer here.
- How are you? - Fine.
Thanks or yesterday.
It was very useul.
It's happened beore.
The Po attracts the dead like mosquitoes.
On the other side o the river, was there a town called San Quirico? It was arther down in the valley.
You couldn't see it rom here.
The town ended up under water in the Fities.
The inhabitants? Many o them went abroad.
Those who remained, should be my age.
They were tough people.
Fascists made things difficult or them.
But at the end o the war, they sent them away Can I see the remains? They will come out o the water in a ew days.
Look at the TV, Chie.
We'll now hear Chief of Police, Capuozzo.
- I'll raise it.
- Yes.
We immediately suspected that Decimo Tonna was killed.
Also because his brother Anteo disappeared during the same period.
- Weren't you supposed to go there too? - I I can, I avoid them.
Menegari, come.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
I'll pull the boats up on shore.
- Do you want the capstan keys? - Yes.
- Here.
- Thanks.
Do a good job.
- So the let racture is recomposed.
- What? He just has to tell us what he does on the pier.
It's the rule.
Or did you two want to talk about something else, but I was there and he changed his mind.
You're saying that.
- Madam, I am a police chie.
- How can I help you? I want inormation on who lived in San Quirico on the Po.
- What do you want to know? - Old stories on the area.
My husband Savino worked there.
He can barely see, but come inside.
Come.
Not very many oreigners come here.
Were you disappointed to leave the old town? We moved too ar away rom the Po.
- Your town was the reddest in the area.
- Yes.
We paid a lot or that.
- Why? - Why Beore the liberation, all hell broke loose here.
Retaliation, round ups.
They burned some houses too.
- Were there Partisans among you? - Yes.
But they didn't come to town or they would implicate their amilies.
In town there were only old people, women and children.
Whose house did they burn down? The most serious incident happened to Ghinelli.
The boy was a Partisan.
Father, mother and sister, all worked in the ield.
The Fascists came.
They killed his ather.
Then they burned the house, the barn and Go on.
And the women How can I say it? They were used.
There were many.
The youngest girl, ashamed, threw hersel in the river.
- What happened to the Partisan? - He died a ew months later in a clash with Fascists.
"Don't shoot Bastards" "Come on" - Luvara - I ound Nibbio.
Where? In Codigoro.
His real name was Gorni Libero.
- When he died he was 20.
- How did he die? In a shooting.
Another two Partisans died with him.
Varoli and Ghinelli.
- Ghinelli? - Ghinelli Spartaco rom San Quirico.
I Nibbio died, how do you explain the signature on the letter? Someone wanted to use his name.
Find the relatives o the three dead Partisans.
Capuozzo wants you.
I told him you shut off your mobile to avoid reporters.
Are you crazy? Soneri, you are right in not wanting to be ound Good evening.
Cameras and notebooks are the cross we bear.
The press conerence went well.
- But they will try to beat the clock.
- Who? The Carabinieri They are working on the clandestines case.
But we will close the investigation.
- Sure.
- Excuse me.
- No problem.
- Yes? - Hi.
I'll wait or you at nine, okay? - I can't tonight.
Because o the policeman who does surveillance at night? There's nothing wrong with dining together.
I know.
But I have to work.
Until you are under protection, stay at home.
Alright.
Luvara, well? It's about the Partisans who died in 1944.
Any news? Nibbio was an orphan.
He grew up in a boarding school.
Siblings o the others are dead.
A niece rom Varoli is in Switzerland.
Anything else? A witness during the inding o the bodies.
- Ghinelli was scarred by a bomb.
- I have a duty car.
Mine is broken.
Ask the mechanic when it is ready.
Yes, sir.
What else do you want to know? The 1944 shooting on the shores.
How did it go? An ambush, that I think Ghinelli wanted.
As revenge or what they had done to his amily.
Things didn't go too well or them.
Poor Ghinelli was hit with a grenade that opened his head like a melon.
It's strange that nobody survived on either side.
One o the Repubblichini.
We heard nothing about him ater that.
They say he drowned in the Po while leeing.
- Do you remember his name? - No.
He wasn't rom this area.
Was his body ever ound? No.
Thanks.
- Where are you going now? - To the Po.
I want to see the ruins.
A ew days ago, while I was in the yard a car stopped.
A man asked me how to get to the San Quirico ruins.
- Did he speak in a dialect? - How do you know? I guessed.
That car drove past once again here in ront.
It must have been the day beore yesterday.
It made a loud noise.
I think it had a broken exhaust pipe.
- I can't make any other statements.
- Thanks.
Thank you.
Chie, hear the news? What? We arrested the dealers.
They are two Albanians.
- The same who attacked Tonna's nephew.
- Congratulations I just gave an interview to the regional TV news.
- Did you explain how they killed Tonna? - It seemed premature.
- We are still questioning them.
- I elt something was missing.
At least we made one arrest.
It helps satisy the citizens.
Yes.
I coniscated the register o the Seamen Club.
I want to check the barge's movements.
Then check the movements o a boat which belongs to a guy called Legari and his partner is Vaeven.
I'll keep you inormed.
Goodbye.
One more thing Does anyone sleep in the shacks along the river? In the summer some ishermen spend the night there, but it's cold now.
Hello? Luvara, it's me.
I have an assignment or you.
- Should I come? - Yes.
Bring many blankets and aspirin.
- What? - I'll explain later.
- Goodnight.
- I have to take you in your house.

- An ugly evening - Finally it's over.
- Are you staying with me tonight? - O course.
Let's go.
Good morning.
Excuse me It was very cold last night God bless you.
I didn't replace you because many things happened.
What time did they open the Seamen Club? A hal hour ago.
- Did you see anyone at the shacks? - Only those two boatmen.
At 5 they pulled the boat up.
They were checking me At a certain point they asked me who I was.
- What did you say? - That I was rom the civil security.
- Did I say the wrong thing? - No.
Close, or you'll catch cold.
Good morning.
You policemen have nice cars - Your colleague caught cold.
- He would've preerred to stay home.
I like old cars like yours.
Those with lousy exhaust pipes - They make a lot o noise.
- What do you want rom us? - Where is he? - Who? You know what I'm talking about.
We've nothing to say.
Take us to the station i you want to question us.
- It wouldn't be the irst time - Okay.
See you around.
Good luck ishing.
Here are the places Melegari and his partner's boat went to.
They moved along the river.
Is the Ariano port near San Quirico? Yes.
But the boat can't ride over shallow waters.
They can attack it.
I see.
You're not asking me anything about the two Albanians? - Did they coness? - No, but they are pressuring them Sooner or later - You don't believe in this lead.
- In the dealing, I do.
For the murders, there's still a lot to ind out.
- Thanks.
- I'll keep this.
Goodbye.
You think Melegari and the other are There's only one murderer.
They just helped him.
Those two will never speak.
- Then who did it? - I don't know.
It's all very strange.
I only hope to have conirmation as soon as possible.
Yes? - This is Savino from San Quirico.
- Hi.
How are you? What's going on? The car that made a unny noise I told you about just drove by.
It was headed towards the Po.
Thanks.
Luvara, maybe this is it.
Go back.
Mr.
Ghinelli Chie Soneri.
It's you I knew that, sooner or later you would come My house - It all began there.
- Yes.
- The Tonna brothers killed your ather.
- Yes.
They did that, and everything else.
Was it necessary to do it? You'd agree i you suffered as I have.
- Where did you live all this time? - I died and was born again.
How were you born again? How was I born again? That day, December the 8th, 1944, we had attacked a militia truck.
The clash was violent.
I was the only person who survived.
Nibbio, my best riend, was dead too.
So I decided to quit.
I was tired o ighting My amily had been destroyed.
I had nobody let.
- So you pretended to be dead.
- Right.
One o the militia men had my same build.
But his ace had been destroyed by the explosion.
I thought that nobody would notice.
I put a picture o my mother in his pocket.
Why did you leave at the end o the war? I was a hero or the townspeople.
I they had known the truth, they would've considered me a traitor.
So I went to Argentina, but I wanted revenge.
I owed it, to all those who died.
Now I eel satisied.
They'll think it was a settling o accounts among poor old men.
What do I care? Now I am in peace with mysel.
I am ready.
Why did you wait sixty years? Because I wanted to live beore doing it Let's go.
Happy New Year 2015 - New Year, New Color ;-)
