Confessione di un commissario di polizia al procuratore della repubblica (Confessions of a Police Ca Page #3

---

We dug a hole in the ground

and petrol came out.

Like a geyser... psss!

Mimi the fairy - he used to sell It for us

How beautiful he was.

And how did he get it out?

With the "asparagus".

With the what?I

What language is this guy speaking?

He comes In here and makes fun

of my cosmic revelations!

I'm going to smash him!

Tell the official what you do to us, instead!

You keep us locked up in this dump!

And you beat us.

You damn bastards! Bastards!

Calm down, Pepe. Have a cigarette.

It's miserable In here -

why don't you send some women in?

Only faggots have a good time in here.

Were you a friend of LiPuma's?

The world should belong to

generous men like him.

He gave my son a news stand,

because he was my friend.

They kept him here,

the doctors kept him in here because..

Lomunno and his sister wanted him

out of the way. Bastards!

- We'd better stop.

- Alright.

I'd like to talk to him alone.

You were a police Informer

isn't that right?

Come on Pepe, have courage.

Scratch me behind my ear first

I can't stand it.

LIPuma knew you were

an informer, right?

One clay he said to me:

"Bonavia's your friend...

"so tell him I'm not crazy. "

I said "no!"

Then he tried to strangle me.

Continue.

Bonavia came to ask me

some questions. I said...

What did you say? Go on.

What did you say? Hmm?

"Let LiPuma out. "

And what did he say?

Impossible, " that's what he said.

Thanks, Pepe.

Shall we go?

Who had LiPuma released, Bonavia?

The doctors declared him cured

Don't you believe in doctors?

Anyway, tell me:

who are Lomunno's enemies?

Half the people In the telephone book...

more or less.

Who would you put at the top of the list?

Even then it's hard to narrow it down.

His rivals In the construction business

Madonna, Norvese, Chiaracame...

...all those and their relatives that Lomunno

destroyed economically, or killed.

- Atop up?

- No, thanks.

To return to Lascatelli...

I wanted to talk with him alone, because the presence

of police officers often intimidate: people.

He said that LiPuma could hardly wait to get out,

so he could try to kill Lommuno.

That could be, but It surely wasn't Lascatelll

who informed Lomunno...

that LIPuma wanted to klll him,

and had disguised himself as a guard

as he couldn't have known how or where

LiPuma would try it.

So:
who did inform Lommuno?

Perhaps I'm reading you wrong,

but I think that you're thinking...

this was an act of personal revenge

Because of the sister!

So you think that LIPuma

was merely a tool of his sister?

There's no evidence of that.

- But she could be a suspect?

- It's possible.

It's quite possible that the massacre

wasn't just an isolated incident,

that the Intent was far greater

than a simple personal vendetta,

that ll Involves Important people In

conicting interests, and billions of lire.

- Shall we talk about politics?

- Why not?

See the man sitting over there

at that table?

With the light suit, the mustache,

and the expression on his face that seems to say:

"What have I got to do with It?

I'm innocent!"

You mean His Honour, Mayor Nicotra?

- That's right. And to his left...

...the one with the thick glasses,

that's the M. P., Grisi.

And on his right Is the President of

the regional bank, Santa Croce,

with the Chairman of the Building Commission.

Remember those words: Building Commission

They're the key to everything.

A coffee and the bill, please.

There ls also a free seat at the table.

Guess who is missing?

Lomunno.

Right. Shall we continue?

So, about two years ago... Nicotra and

Lomunno drew up an agreement,

anticipating the big business that would come with

the city's new development plan, hmm?

Let's assume Lomunno bought up some unremarkable

land for the price of farm land,

shall we say - 300 lire per square metre?

Now, this ls where the Mayor

comes into the picture.

Using the taxpayer's money, the city government,

for no apparent reason,

supplied the area with water, electricity,

sewerage, roads, etc. , etc.

So, the value went up from

But you see, the taxpayer

doesn't get anything out of it-

you won't find any schools,

or hospitals in that area.

The pie was out up between the Mayor,

our Member of Parliament,

the head of the building commission, Lomunno,

the bank that financed the deal, and a few others.

There was no great risk Involved,

because if anybody raised any objections,

he was first warned, then threatened,

and if that wasn't enough, he disappeared.

What ls the police department

doing about this?

Making arrests, If they can.

What are the courts doing?

Handing down sentences,

when they're given sufficient evidence.

Since when has evidence been

sufficient in our courts?

If you want a wider picture of the situation,

I can give it to you, but...

you be careful of this investigation:

it is a very slippery path.

It's a trip we'll take together.

Now, our starting point will be the

killings in Via Plebiscito.

We might not change the world,

but our duty today, right now,

is to find and punish all those responsible.

We'll start by questioning the doctors

at the medical institute,

Lomunno's personal enemies,

and his rivals in the construction business.

And what did his lawyer, Canestraro,

have to say?

That Lomunno is in hiding, and that no one knows

the three killers who killed LiPuma.

He says there are those that want to kill him,

but he does not say who.

I told Canestraro that he should tell him...

that If he doesn't show up for questioning,

I'll issue a warrant for his arrest.

You'll be arresting him for the forth time.

And... who'll free him?

Nobody, if we do our job well.

A man over on that table has been trying to

attract your attention for the past few minutes.

Excuse me, I have to be going.

Bonavia!

I'd like to talk to Serena LiPuma.

We tried to find her. No luck.

- Keep trying.

- Certainly.

My respects, Mr. Mayor.

- No news on Lomunno?

- No.

When Is he gonna surface?

You really scared the hell out of him.

Yes - he's terrified.

Maybe even a little too much.

- And how did your talk with Traini go?

- We'll see.

A man could klll me,

the District Attorney could send me to jail,

the man who killed me could be sent to ]all,

but the District Attorney always goes free.

We'll see what's better for him.

I don't get it. What's better for what?

Not only a killer can klll; a prosecutor

can ensure that a troublemaker is eliminated.

Traini? He's in with them?

Calling all cars.

Proceed immediately to Bucciaria.

Okay. What's happening over there?

Attempted robbery In progress. The suspect Is

holed up in a church. He's reported to have a gun.

He hasn't done anything, he's a good boy!

Leave him alone!

Calm down! Let me through!

Calm down, calm down!

- Where Is he?

- Inside.

- Has he shot anyone?

- No, but he says he's going to.

- Keep away, or I'll klll you.

- Calm down.

- Keep away.

- You're nothing but a piece of sh*t!
