look and now you refuse?

Why shouldn't he look around, John?

Because he just wants to

hassle me, that's why.

Sylvana Lucci has a small child.

So you see, a mother is missing.

Am I suspect?

Has there been a crime?

No, so there's no need for you

to look around, is there?

Then you won't mind

coming to the station

to answer some questions?

I'm not going to

answer any questions...

...until I talk to my lawyer.

You brought a woman here?

I was lonely.

You were drunk.

Sus...

You are not listening to me.

I am listening to you,

I just don't agree with you.

Mom, if he's drinking again,

he'll need us more than ever.

I am tired, Becky.

I am just so tired, I--

I think if we stay together,

one of us will go crazy.

If what you tell me, Giovanni,

is all that happened,

there is no evidence against you.

It is all that happened.

Then they will find

Sylvana Lucci...

or they will find some explanation...

and you'll be innocent.

You know of course,

that the Signorina

and carabinieri were lovers.

What?

She's a prostitute.

She must have screwed

half the guys in this town.

Myself included.

But all the other men did not

have a child with her.

She had his kid?

Yes.

He denies it,

but everyone knows it's his.

He's a charming little boy.

Il telefono.

Don't worry, there is no evidence.

Excuse me.

Don't worry.

That was my sister calling

from the castle.

She has found Sylvana Lucci's

what do you call...

Handbag.

She must have left it.

That's not something a woman leaves.

I'm afraid now, they,

they're going to arrest you.

What?

That's ridiculous.

I didn't do anything.

Yes, but the police

find the handbag.

Oh, Jesus.

What are we going to do?

I'm your lawyer.

I believe you, but that is not evidence.

And then, carabinieri,

they don't need to be told.

I swear,

I didn't do anything to her.

Then we agree.

I'll have Agnese

bring me the handbag.

I'll keep it until they

find Signora Lucci.

Then, all we'll have to discuss,

is our new financial agreement.

What are you talking about?

Because of new problems

with your case,

I must raise my fee.

That's blackmail.

You bastard.

I think it's time

you learned the truth.

What?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about

your father's first wife.

It was a great scandal.

The Duchess D'Orsino

married an American soldier.

What? What are you--

The Duchess?

Yes, they got married.

Then they had a child.

Then your father got

tired of both of them,

and he ran off with

her younger sister to America.

No, my parents never said

anything about this.

Why would they?

The Duchess would never

give him a divorce.

She's nobility.

So, the marriage of

your father with her sister

was not legal, no good.

No!

Yes.

Your father was never married

to your mother.

So, you, Giovanni, are the bastard.

Thank you.

Get in the car, Rebecca.

Susan!

I have to say goodbye.

No, get in the car.

Susan.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

We're leaving, John.

No, listen.

Listen, they're going to arrest me.

For what?

That woman is still missing.

I need your help.

You brought a whore

into our home, John.

Into our home, with Becky there.

Look, I know that

but if you leave me,

it's going to look like I'm guilty.

I should have left you

two years ago.

Susan, please!

I'm begging you.

You made yourself into

a whipping boy, John.

Don't blame me.

Go.

Whipping boy?

Whipping boy.

Why would she have a whip?

Susan!

I think I know what happened,

what's happening.

And I can prove it!

Bye Daddy!

I'll see you again

sweetheart, I promise!

Yes?

I'm sorry, Signora Reilly

but we must take your husband

to the Carabinieri station

to answer some questions.

Oh, well, I'm sure he'll

be able to explain himself.

We must also search the castle.

Fine, do whatever you have to do.

My daughter and I are catching

the train to Rome.

I must ask you both

to stay in Orsino.

We will require statements from you.

But we don't know

anything about any of this.

But you understand that we must ask.

And first we have to talk to your husband.

We are grateful for your cooperation.

Well, don't be.

You're keeping us here

against our will.

Where is Agnese?

I don't know, really.

We wanted to say goodbye,

but we couldn't find her.

Where are the stairs, please?

Somebody needs to stay with my daughter.

He's a policeman honey,

he'll stay with you, okay.

It's alright.

Grimaldi.

What's going on mom?

John.

What are you doing?

Rebecca is right.

There is someone else in the castle.

God, forgive you.

It is nothing but rocks.

He's not here.

Who, Signor.

Giorgio D'Orsino, he was never buried.

She kept him alive.

He's alive.

Don't you see?

He's here.

He's here somewhere in the castle.

Where is my sister?

I don't know where your sister is.

Maybe he took her.

Come with us, Signora Reilley.

What?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

No, no, no, no.

Listen to me.

Wait a minute.

Check upstairs,

in the Duchess's room.

She has a whip.

Why would she have a whip?

Who's she going to use it on?

Think, for Christ's sake.

She never let anyone in, right?

But who was here to begin

with, at the start?

Her son, he didn't die.

She had him hid away.

She made him into a whipping boy

to get back at my father

for leaving her.

Very clever.

He's the one that broke the mirror.

He's the one that was in

Rebecca's room, I'm telling you.

You've got to search the castle.

Oh my God.

You are under arrest.

What?

I didn't do this.

Why would I do this?

You should be careful what you say,

until you talk to your lawyer.

Susan, I didn't do this.

I swear, I need your help.

Please, I know it.

I need your help, I'm innocent.

I didn't do it!

Please, go back.

Yes?

Grimaldi and Benedetti will

stay here tonight.

You can bring your daughter

to the station tomorrow,

and give your testimony.

Alright, thank you.

You alright?

Okay.

Buona notte.

Goodnight.

Could you get us some water?

Acqua, per favore.

Acqua, si.

Can you get someone

in here who speaks English?

English!

Damn it!

It's okay.

Officer.

Officer, would you please listen to me.

Then you are prepared to

answer some questions.

I will answer any

questions that you want,

but you have got to get

my family out of that castle.

Why?

Why, because there

is a madman in there

and my family is in danger.

And who is this madman,

Giorgio D'Orsino?

You saw the coffin.

You saw that it was empty.

Why would the Duchess

bury an empty coffin?

That was 40 years ago.

I want more about last night.

Why did you kill Sylvana?

I keep telling you over,

and over, and over again.

I didn't kill her!

It was him!

No more fairy tales.

Tell me the truth.

Hello!

Yes.

We asked for water.

Acqua, do you know if it's coming?

Yes, acqua, acqua.

I go, I go.

Thank you.

Benedetti!

It's coming, Sweetie.

Benedetti!

Bene...

We're going to get

through this, sweetie.

You'll see.

We're going to be home, soon.
