Confessione di un commissario di polizia al procuratore della repubblica (Confessions of a Police Ca Page #4

---

What are you doing?

Have you fired It?

- No.

- Have you threatened anyone with It?

- No.

Captain, the crowd's getting restless.

Should I call for reinforcements?

Don't be stupid!

Calm down! Calm down!

There is nothing happening. Calm clown.

He didn't even have a gun.

He was just kidding.

Stay back. Stay calm!

Back! Stay calm!

Out of the way! Out of the way!

Get a move on.

And you, what are you looking at?

A fine professional, I am.

It's over!

Go home!

- Have you got a match?

- Yes.

I'd like to have seen Traini here,

with his expensive suit.

- Nicola, when did you get out?

- Last month, Captain.

Now you know, don't you,

that it's illegal...

to tap any telephone wires without

the court's authorization?

Especially when the telephone belongs

to the District Attorney!

So, If I transfer you back to

their department,

do you think that you can

handle it inconspicuously?

You still refuse to let go of it, eh?

You still want to know who warned Lomunno?

Well, of course I can handle it.

Yeah, who warned him,

and where the orders came from.

We'll find out. To your health.

Traini's lying. He says Lomunno won't

come out of hiding.

What does he take me for,

that son of a b*tch?!

This way, please.

Go right in.

Ah, It's very kind of you, Mr. District Attorney,

to go out of your way like this for me.

I feel so much safer here,

because in a way, this is home to me.

My client finances this

institution for orphans..

He had a difficult childhood himself.

Hey, come on. I don't want the

District Attorney thinking

that you're trying to make me

out for a saint!

I don't deserve It.

Please.

So, here I am.

The predetermined victim.

I thank God, because death is ugly.

Now, I am at your disposal here,

to answer your questions, Mr. District Attorney.

Why was LIPuma after you?

Was it because of his sister?

I think so.

Or maybe because of resentment

over old business dealings?

No. I never had any dealings

with this guy, LiPuma.

However, when he became dangerous,

you had LiPuma put in a mental institute.

It was his sister who had him committed.

And she at that time was your mistress?

Yeah, but whatever she did was

under her own initiative.

Who told you that LIPuma was out,

that he was coming to kill you?

Who told me? If I'd known,

I would have asked the police for protection.

Nobody ever goes to the police.

Oh? That's a shame.

Anyhow, no-one ever told me a thing.

I didn't even know those three men

who were killed with LiPuma.

Your lawyer hinted that Bonavia apparently

has a grudge against you. Is that true?

Sure he does, sure. It's envy,

because I make big money,

while he only gets a small salary.

So he spies on me,

my property is watched,

and once In a while he dreams

up a charge and arrests me.

I'm sorry for him; I understand him.

You understand him, and you feel

sorry for him. Why?

Because he grew up alone,

without satisfaction.

Some people drown the past In wine

He drowns his in justice.

He is dangerous.

Nonsense, Mr. Lawyer!

So, contrary to your lawyer's opinion,

you aren't afraid of him?

I have bigger enemies.

You contradict yourself.

Your lawyer said you were in hiding

because you fear the police.

And now you say you have

no fear of the police!

So, who are you afraid of?

There was an attempt to klll me.

Now I'm afraid to go out on the street.

But there's no need to be afraid.

Even If you assure me that a

Police Captain has acted badly.

You're a citizen, and I'm your

District Attorney. Don't forget that.

You're my what?

I'm your District Attorney.

And I would defend you,

as I would any other citizen. If necessary.

Men like you give us faith in the law.

Getting back to the discussion though:

If you want to know who

wants to see me dead,

I'm telling you, there are a lot

bigger fish than Bonavia.

In the business world?

I don't want to accuse anyone.

But if you think for a minute,

whoever got LIPuma sprung,

it took money - a lot of money.

I see. What else can you tell me?

Only what I told you just now.

Which ls what?

- What I said.

Which Is not very much

We haven't concluded much, have we?

Well, what do you expect?

I'm the victim here.

That's why I want to take care of you.

Don't leave the city, and keep

yourself at my disposal.

Do not doubt it.

At your service.

And thanks again for going to all this

trouble for me, Mr. District Attorney.

Who Is this Traini?

What's he looking for?

He's just looking.

Easy for you to say, but he's likely to stumble

onto the zoning law deal.

- Ahh...

- And you're the one responsible, Ferdinando.

The mess you've got us Into!

Machine guns everywhere -

are you trying to start some

kind of civil war?

And what should I have said?

"Please, go ahead, kill me?"

I've been reading the headlines,

and I don'! want anything more to do with it.

And neither do the others.

Is that clear?

Tell me something, senator.

How did you get into your position?

It was because of my men, village by village,

that you got 200,000 votes.

I got you In yesterday,

and I can get you out tomorrow.

Who do you think you are, senator?

He goes to Montecitorio ,

makes speeches,

gives interviews on television,

but who are you?

You tow the line and play the game my way.

Calm down, Ferdinando.

And If the game bothers you, step down.

Take it easy. Go over to the opposition.

For every one that leaves,

I have ten more.

But you don't want to leave

your comfy chair, do you?

Take it easy, Ferdinando!

You too, and the president of the bank,

and the Mayor!

You calm down, you handsome boy,

understand?

And now, what are you thinking

about me huh?

Who told you that LIPuma, disguised as a guard,

was coming to kill you?

Guess.

Did you have the insane asylum watch him?

Or were you watching Bonavia?

Or maybe one of your friends?

Only two people know: God and me.

Lomunno! Have you gone out of your mind, Lomunno?

Here I am trying to cast suspicion

onto Bonavia, and you clear him.

What are you thinking of, accusing

your competitors,

when you know as well as I do

that they're not involved?

What's wrong with you? You really think

the D. A. believes what I tell him?

If I want him to think white

it's better to say black.

Traini's no fool. Let him have the

satisfaction of thinking..

That whatever he figures out

came from his own brain,

with his university education.

Let's let our new D. A. work

out his own theory,

let him make the connections,

put the little pieces together...

Ah, you're back already?

Did you take her to my house?

- She didn't want to come.

- So, where is she?

She's waiting at the comer

of Via Ruggero 7.

Come in, come in - we're leaving now.

Good boys!

Serena! Get In...

Wait there.

- Hello, Serena.

- Good evening.

I wanted to take you somewhere else,

because It's not good for me to be seen

on the street. For the moment.

What have I done to displease you?

Your brother wanted to klll me,
