-He likes it.

-Excellent.

I should have called her, but I keep putting it off.
You wait here.
Lorenzo?.
-Hi, Katia.
Hi.
Are we done greeting?.
Can we talk?.
-Yes.
Wiill you keep talking in monosyllables?.
-No.
That's what I mean.
Katia, about the other night -Yes?.

My phone is ringing as well.
-I'll call you later, okay?.
Morini, tell me.
Shit.
What the hell happened?.
-Get the girl out.
we'll burn the car.
Wait, we can't leave him here.
-He's dead.
we have no choice.
Move it.
Let's go.
I've taken all the loose bits.
What happened exactly?.
There were three men, and they started shooting.
Chief lnspector.
-I hope Barbara is okay.
Hi, Lorenzo.
I'm almost finished here.
Listen, do you have time to talk later?.
-Yes, of course.
What happened here?.
-A girl's been kidnapped.
Wiitnesses?.
-Two friends.
Morini is questioning them.
The girl is called Barbara Loria.
-The daughter of the industrialist?.
Exactly.
And who is he?.
-The casualty is her driver.
He also served as her bodyguard.
-Let's see.
It seems one ofthe kidnappers is wounded, sir.
Sir?.
Lorenzo?.
Lorenzo, did you know him?.
His name is Riccardo Muzzi.
An ex-cop.
we used to work together.
-I'm sorry.
Has someone notified his wife?.
-Yes, she's over there with two offiicers.
Lorenzo, do you need -No.
They're looking for fingerprints.
-Sir?.
Marina.
I'm really sorry.
Come on.
-You're hurting me.
Hey, treat her well.
Don't move.
Take her in there.
-Come on.
You're hurting me.
After I close the door you can take off the hood.
You understand?.
-Yes.
Poor Giulio.
What a terrible way to go.
Did we have another choice?.
Bringing him would have been too risky.
Mario?.
I know Giulio was your friend, but -we did what we had to do.
I don't want to talk about it.
Let's not talk about it.
I'm sorry about Muzzi.
I'll personally pay my condolences to his wife.
Listen, Fabbri.
To tell you the truth, I'm not sure I want you on this case.
You're too involved.
I don't want you to create any problems for me.
I won't create any problems, sir.
I just want to find the girl and those who killed Riccardo, that's all.
He was an ex-cop.
And my friend.
I owe it to him.
And believe me, I'll do whatever it takes.
I understand.
Alright.
This is the address of Pietro Loria.
Go and talk to him.
we must freeze his assets.
-we have the magistrate's authorization.
Also to tap his phones?.
-Yes.
Alright.
I'll get to work right away.
My wife Lucia died two years ago.
For a while already, our relationship had deteriorated.
When Lucia fell ill, I wasn't very close to her.
Barbara has neverforgiven me for that.
-I see.
She's all I have, Chief lnspector.
I've made many mistakes with Barbara.
But it's nevertoo late to recognize one's mistakes.
I want you to know that I'm prepared to do anything in order to get her back.
And we'll do everything to make that happen.
Mr Schiavone is here.
-Let him in.
Rodolfo.
-Pietro.
I came as soon as I heard.
Any news?.
-No, we haven't heard from them yet.
If they as much as touch her, I swear -Rodolfo.
I present Chief lnspector Fabbri.
He's in charge of the investigation.
Hello.
-The pleasure is mine.
Dr Schiavone is a dear friend of mine as well as Barbara's godfather.
Excuse me.
Sir, come have a look.
-Yes.
Excuse me.
we have a recording of the kidnapping, from the surveillance camera of a bank.
Did it record everything?.
-Yes.
Let me see.
-Here it is.
Poor Muzzi.
They shot him in cold blood.
wait.
One of the kidnappers got wounded.
Hold on.
Go back a little, slowly.
-Okay.
Here you go.
-There.
Enlarge that image a little.
-Okay.
It's all blurred.
I can't see a thing.
Do something, come on.
Sir, I'll try, but I'm not a computer technician.
There, I did it.
-Zoom in a little bit more.
There he is.
Morini, find out who he is.
I'll get right to it, sir.
-Good.
There's a burned car at the gas works.
It's probably the carthey used.
Yes, it's the same car.
Anything else?.
Inside the car were the remains of a corpse.
No, it's not the girl.
It's a male.
Alright, I'll go over there.
Morini, find out who this guy is.
Here you are, like at a grand hotel.
I'm not hungry.
-I prepared it with my own hands.
What a pretty name you have, Barbara.
Who chose it, Mommy or Daddy?.
And you're very beautiful.
If you want to eat, there it is.
Excuse me for a second.
Hi, Lorenzo.
-Hi, Katia.
I'm really sorry about your friend.
-Never mind.
It's okay.
What can you tell me?.
-They burned everything.
No traces left.
Identifying the corpse will be diffiicult.
No, I don't think so.
we found his picture on a surveillance tape from a bank.
Alright.
And what have you found?.
-They drove here and burned the car.
An accomplice was waiting with another car.
But that's all.
They're not only well organized, but ruthless as well.
They didn't hesitate to kill Riccardo, nor to set theirfriend's corpse on fire.
Rex, what have you found?.
-Let me get my box.
Alright.
What's that?.
Ah, a cigarette stub.
-Good.
Let's see.
well done, champion.
-Probably it still contains some DNA.
But it doesn't have to be theirs.
-lf Rex found it, it must be important.
Have it examined.
-Let's hope for the best.
Tell me, Morini.
-we've identified the wounded kidnapper.
For heaven's sake.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?.
No, madam, there's no mistake.
I'm sorry.
My boy.
I prayed so much for this not to happen and for him to renounce his bad friends.
Did you ever meet your son's friends?.
Have you ever seen them?.
No, Giulio only associated with people he met at the club.
He went there every night.
-What club?.
I don't remember.
I should have a flyer somewhere.
wait.
Here it is.
This one.
-Calibis.
I knew Bonfigli.
He came here a lot.
He was practically part ofthe family.
I knew Bonfigli.
He came here a lot.
He was practically part ofthe family.
He was a nice kid.
Was he particularly close to anyone?.
-Yes, Mario Cervini, our bartender.
I've had to rebuke him several times, as he let Bonfigli drink without paying.
Could we talk to him?.
-To Mario?.
Sure.
If you have a private jet at your disposal.
He's on vacation.
He left a few days ago.
He went to the Maldives or Cape Verde.
Maybe I pay my employees too much.
I never get to go to such places.
I'm always here, working.
What's the matter, Rex?.
Is the music too loud?.
I know, you'd prefer Bach.
What's his name?.
Twix?.
Ritz?.
-Rex, his name is Rex.
Can we see Cervini's locker?.
-Absolutely.
Any dealerthis dog will bust here will be leaving my place feet first.
Giovanni, the keys.
we must be alert for a charm offensive.
-By Mr lrony here.
Sorry, I'm on duty.
I'm going to call them.
-From where?.
There's a phone booth a few kilometres from here.
You keep an eye on Ludovico.
He's drooling after the girl too much.
I'll take care of it.
-You better.
Look here.
-Those are cigarettes filters.
You see?.
-No.
There's a mark on the bud.
I think it was smoked with a plastic filter.
Excuse me.
Yes?.
What's that?.
I understand.
I'll be right over.
-A problem, sir?.
That was Gori.
The kidnappers called about the ransom.
Take four offiicers and go to Cervini's house.
Hurry up.
-On the double, sir.
I knew you'd eat in the end.
You like it, don't you?.
What's that?.
What are you doing?.
-I'll clean it up for you.
Be good now.
There you go.
That was good, wasn't it?.
Now be a good girl.
Come on.
Has she finished eating?.
How can I pay with all my assets frozen?.
-The police will help you.
Alright.
The call came from a phone booth.
I've sent two cruisers and a forensic offiicer, but as yet we have no news.
If I've understood correctly, the call came in on Dr Loria's private number.
Only a few people know that number.
-The bastards got it from my daughter.
They probably thought we wouldn't be checking it.
You will authorize the exchange, right?.
-I'm waiting for the magistrate's call.
But what do you think?.
-I think so.
When will this be over?.
-Soon, Pietro.
You'll see.
Dr Loria, what did they say exactly when they called you?.
They asked for five million euros in 50-euro bills.
They gave me the number of the bus I'm to take tomorrow morning, with the cash.
Chief lnspector, listen to the recording.
-Yes.
No, hold on a second.
Hello?.
Yes.
Alright.
Thanks.
The magistrate gives his authorization.
-Thank God.
You're going to like this.
-Help.
Stupid bitch.
I'll show you.
-What the fuck are you doing?.
I told you not to touch her.
-No.
Don't do this.
-What's going on?.
What's going on is that I'm going to shoot this idiot.
Let him be.
Don't do anything foolish.
I don't need it.
-But Gori said I don't care what Gori said.
He's not here, so I decide.
Dr Loria, are you ready?.
-Absolutely.
Give it to him.
So listen carefully.
I'll get on bus 23 leaving at 10:16.
You'll be on board already.
At the fourth stop you'll put down the bag and get off.
I'll stay on board to see who comes to retrieve the ransom.
Clear?.
-Yes, Chief lnspector.
Good.
Is Rex ready?.
Let's go.
Is this line 23?.
-Yes.
It takes forever.
-I'm used to it.
That's how line 23 is.
Loria has left the bag behind.
-Good.
Now keep your eyes open and stay alert.
The bus is leaving again.
-Perfect.
Keep your eyes on the bag.
Remember, there are offiicers at every stop.
End of the line.
-At last.
Do you need any help?.
-No, thank you.
Are you sure you can make it?.
-Yes, Madam.
They've taken the bag.
Get off of me.
-Easy, Rex.
Let go of him.
Come, get up.
Bloody hell.
Pancrazi.
-Offiicer Balducci.
You know him?.
-I didn't know it was your bag I took.
Who is he?.
What's he doing here?.
-I don't know.
He's just a petty thief.
Alright, take him away.
-Come with me.
What's going on?.
Did you get him?.
-False alarm.
It wasn't our man.
What is this?.
First they ask for our help and then they don't trust us anymore?.
Do they realize that their ploy reduces our chances of getting the girl back alive?.
No, they obviously don't.
Look, I can try to justify Loria but I'm as desperate as you are.
Let's hope we're wrong and she'll get released anyway.
Yes.
And what do we now?.
Let's just hope Schiavoni saw the guy's face.
He left the bag on a bus.
The same method, but on the other side of town.
At least tell me he and Loria will be questioned.
That I can promise you.
But later.
Now we have another priority.
-Yes, to bring Barbara home.
Alive.
Yes?.
The gentlemen are here.
-Send them in.
And you stay calm.
-I always stay calm.
Yes?.
Morini, wait, I can't hear anything.
Go on, outside.
There you go.
Please.
Make yourself comfortable.
Hurry up, Morini, tell me.
-I'm at Cervini's place.
There was a bank slip among his papers.
-What does it say?.
Someone else effected the transaction.
Signed by a certain Francesco Giolitti.
But documents we've found make it clear that he's behind it.
Behind what, Morini?.
Two weeks ago, this Francesco Giolitti rented a house in the country.
Five million divided by three makes one followed by an infinite series of sixes.
So we can't divide it equally.
-No.
Why?.
we're almost there.
Go.
Go upstairs.
Too late.
Morini, inform Gori.
we've found the bodies of two of the kidnappers.
One is Mario Cervini, the other I don't know.
No, no sign of the girl.
we arrived too late.
So this Giolitti doesn't know anything.
He says his friend Mario just asked him a favour, without saying what it was for.
And you believe him?.
To borrow a name, you use a clean one.
And you don't reveal everything.
It's organized into the tiniest details, isn't it?.
But they're not professionals.
-Why do you say that?.
Professionals don't fight over the loot.
And they don't leave a trail of corpses.
The only one left disappeared with five million euros.
Nice sum, right?.
The bad thing is that we don't know anything about Barbara Loria.
Maybe he took her with him.
Morini, a few more hours and we'll know the truth.
If Barbara Loria isn't released by then, I fear we'll have to look for her corpse.
Let's go.
What happened, miss?.
-I'm Barbara Loria.
I was kidnapped.
Come with me.
They were in the other room, not where I was.
At some point I heard two very loud shots.
The door went open and and the one who was left came in.
He grabbed my arm and he made me get out.
Then we drove a few kilometres by car.
I don't know how many, because I was hooded all the time.
At some point he told me to get out and then he took off.
And when I removed my hood it was dark.
I didn't recognize where I was.
Did you manage to see his face?.
-No, I never saw his face.
I caught a glimpse of another one, one of the two dead ones.
Did they ask you anything?.
-No.
They knew a lot about your father.
-Yes, they knew everything about Dad.
Also about Rodolfo.
And they got his cell number from my cell phone.
we realize that you must be tired.
But it's important that you give us details.
The first days are most important when it comes to capturing a fugitive.
So think hard and try to remember as much as you can.
I'm at your disposal.
-I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Let's leave them alone.
-Good night.
Thank you.
Barbara.
Are you okay?.
Yes, Dad.
Several times I thought I would never see you again.
Please, forgive my misunderstanding and all the Dad, please.
What matters most is that I'm here.
Let's make a fresh start, okay?.
Good night.
Come in.
Am I interrupting?.
-Not at all.
Come in.
What are you doing?.
-Looking at the video of the kidnapping.
She's cute.
And she has good taste.
That's an expensive sweater.
It's a hint, in case you want to buy me a present.
A dinner invitation would do as well.
Lorenzo, are you with us?.
-I'm sorry, but I have to go.
Come, Rex.
You can make reservations by phone.
You don't have to go to the restaurant.
I know.
Look, I'm not fleeing from you.
You've made me notice something.
Important?.
Then it's not so bad.
-How about dinnertonight at nine?.
Bye.
Take me away with you, I beg you.
Yes, princess.
Chief lnspector.
-Hello, Barbara.
How are you?.
Better, thanks.
Your father told me I'd find you here.
-Yes.
The house is full of journalists, so I've taken refuge here.
I used to come here as a girl, with my mother.
Rex.
Excuse me, he's very impolite.
Rex, come here.
You didn't tell me why you're here.
-The kidnappers had an accomplice.
An accomplice?.
-Right.
It's around this accomplice that they planned the kidnapping.
They almost knew everything, except that Muzzi carried a gun that morning.
Which he usually never did.
-Exactly.
And who is this accomplice?.
-It's you.
Me?.
Rex has found something.
-You have no right Let's see.
Chief lnspector, you have no right to go through my things.
Put that down.
And this?.
I think you owe me an explanation.
I'll give you one.
Calm down your dog or I'll do it.
-Rex, easy.
Your gun.
Take it between two fingers.
Princess, you take this one.
Son of a bitch.
Take his cell phone and turn it off.
If he tries to escape, shoot him.
Shit.
Tell me why.
-To start a new life with the man I love.
And to avenge my mother.
Because I hope that bastard will suffer as much as he made my mother suffer who first fell ill and then died because he betrayed her.
When he thought you'd been kidnapped, he really felt sorry for you.
No, Chief lnspector, not for me, but for his money, his power.
Money and power are the only things that interest him.
How did you find out it was me?.
A surveillance camera recorded the kidnapping.
When they put you inside the car, you were wearing a white sweater.
When we found you again, you were wearing a different one.
What does that prove?.
The sweater you were wearing when you came to the bureau cost over 400 euros.
And I don't believe the kidnappers went to a boutique to buy it for you.
And?.
He runs fast, doesn't he?.
You and I will find a way to get that dog to bring the money back.
Have you tried whistling?.
-Very funny.
Get ready while I take our friend for some fresh air.
Get up.
Let's go.
Walk.
Call your dog.
-You can forget about that.
Call him.
-No.
Alright.
Rex, come on out.
-Rex, don't listen to him.
I'm going to kill him.
I'm going to kill your boss.
Good boy.
Get up.
If your dog tries anything, I'll kill him.
-Now what's the plan?.
I'll lock you up somewhere.
Then Barbara and I will take off.
Nothing personal, but I need some time.
Come on.
Did you get the money back?.
Terrific.
What happened?.
He has my gun, dammit.
I think there's one in Dad's safe.
-Give me this one and go get that one.
Don't move.
-Damn.
Go.
The police are on their way.
You can't get away.
Duck.
we have to kill him.
-Yes, he won't let us go.
wait here.
Alright, Rex.
On your knees.
Hands on your head.
Rex, keep an eye on him.
No.
No, wait.
Don't do it.
Don't turn yourself into a killer.
I have no choice.
-Not true.
You always have a choice.
Not this time.
What have they done to you, champion?.
