Death on the Fourposter Page #4

---

- Really?

On a night like this?

With a maniac on the loose?

All right, I'll look.

Stop shaking like that.

I'm not going to hurt you, I

just want to talk to you.

I know who the killer is.

Give him peace.

You are here.

We can do nothing, Franca has disappeared.

I don't know what to think.

I'm not sure anymore.

I don't even trust myself.

You were upset,

Serena's death...

It was my death blow!

That's what you mean?

- That's not what I think.

- As if I didn't know it!

I see how you behave, you

look at me and you tell me...

"Don't worry, it's nothing,"

but that's not what you think.

You're wrong.

That's not true, at

least not for me.

Luciana, I'm not crazy.

I saw Franca.

You don't believe me ? When you

entered, there was no-one on the sofa.

Do you know what's up now?

The medallion of Franca.

- He appeared like that.

- But that's right...

Its very important.

- Riccardo... there's nothing here.

- Impossible. He was there.

- Riccardo, rest.

- You too!

- Does anyone want to play?

- Aren't you tired yet?

Yes, I'm tired.

Tired of looking for ghosts

and waking up the dead.

It passes the time until dawn.

- You're an idiot.

Edie, do you want to play with an idiot?

Why not?

- It'll calm my mind.

- You start.

Come, there's nobody here.

You have to insist, do not

give up, he will denounce you.

- Are you sure it was him?

- More than sure.

Tonight, when he told me

that Serena was pregnant...

- I knew who it was.

- But why kill her?

A moment of madness,

the fear of scandal...

His family would have disowned him.

A noble with a woman

like her, with her past.

- What should I do ?

- You must continue...

You'll see,

it must be done before dawn.

Go ahead.

It's almost dawn.

You lost again.

I lost almost every throw,

one more, one less.

Where are the others?

- One last throw?

- No, I'm too tired.

I'll pay what I lost.

Do not be silly.

I'll take his place.

- For all winnings?

- All.

I'll do anything for a friend.

- All winnings and...

- And?

And me.

If you want to be like that,

don't bother playing.

The wages father gave you,100,000.

What's the matter ?

Are you afraid of losing?

Are you trying to scare me?

I'm not like Riccardo...

I am not in an asylum like him.

What's wrong?

You lost, my dear.

No time to waste.

Aldo knows the killer.

What are you doing?

Have you gone mad?

Give me peace.

I do not want to live anymore.

You don't understand?

You're innocent.

- It was me, I killed Franca.

- It's not true.

Franca is alive.

Don't you understand? She's alive!

What do you mean?

So who is the killer?

I'm almost dead with fear.

He almost collapsed

when he saw me.

Yes, you were right.

- It's him, the killer.

- Everything is becoming clear.

But we have no proof.

And if he denies it?

How to prove that he's lying?

- There is irrefutable proof.

- What?

Definitive proof.

When Riccardo found you dead,

the first time, I mean...

everyone else, including me,

were together...

he was the only one

who could kill you.

Is that clear?

Perfect, I would say.

What are you talking about ? I am alive.

And what are you saying?

It's about you. In fact,

when they find you dead...

no one will think it

happened now, but earlier.

You see?

Then Riccardo will be held

responsible for the two murders...

and not just for Serena's death.

Serena was carrying my baby, and

I can't lose Luciana's money.

Bastard!

Be careful, he has a gun.

He's locked out.

Come on, let's break the door.

There's another key,

I'll get it.

Carlo, open!

It's finished.

Give me that, Aldo.

He hid it near the garage, unaware

that Aldo was watching her.

But why ?

This is Serena's ring.

'Serena, forever'
