was a friend of Vendice's...

and police are considering

that connection...

as a motive for the murder.

Although Ms. Paccard

has been living in Italy...

she was born in England.

Fearing that she may try

to flee Italy...

and seek asylum

in her home country...

police are now

focusing their efforts...

on international

border crossings.

And now for the weather...

Where will we go?

I'd like you to take me...

to the place

where you grew up.

I don't even know your name.

Filippo.

When were you born?

May 23rd, 1978.

At what time? Do you know?

In the morning at 8:00.

I know exactly what

I was doing on May 23rd, 1978.

I know exactly.

That's my birthday.

And it was the day

of my first Holy Communion.

I was dressed up like a bride

with this white dress...

and a veil

my mother had made me.

When she put the dress on...

she covered

my face with the veil...

and burst into tears.

I don't know why.

It's as if nothing

ever happened.

I've done a lot of damage...

and some really

stupid, stupid things.

I've lied to my mother

and to my sister...

many, many, many times.

I was unfaithful

to my husband once.

And I didn't do everything

I could to save him.

Anyway, maybe it's not

possible to do everything.

Four people have died

because of me...

and I can't live with that.

I'll never be able to.

I shot a defenseless person...

which you know.

But what you don't know is...

I've ceased to believe.

Ceased to believe in what?

In sense.

In justice.

In life.

I love you.

I know.

It's just...

It's just that I want

the end to come soon.

May I have your attention!

Today is a happy day for me.

My favorite niece Paola

is getting married today.

That's my friend.

I was the first one to know.

Can you trust her?

Ask her if they've been

to her house.

And now,

please raise your glasses.

Listen now!

Attention please!

As they say in "La Traviata,"

"Listen to the singer!"

Don't you recognize me?

What the hell have you done?

What have you done?

They flew over our farm

with a helicopter.

Nice haircut.

Can we spend the night

at your place?

They'll catch you.

I know.

Cesare Pavese Middle School.

Hello?

Hello.

My name is Ariel Fabrizi.

Could I speak

to my son Ariel, please?

Just a moment.

We'll call him.

Thank you.

Hello?

Don't be afraid. It's Filippo.

Pretend you're talking to Dad.

Yes, Dad.

Repeat out loud:
"I'll be home

a bit earlier, Dad."

I'll be home

a bit earlier, Dad.

Now listen.

Tell Dad we want to see him.

We're in Montepulciano.

We'll be waiting

at the St. Biagio Church.

Now say, "All right, Dad,"

and hang up.

All right, Dad.

Bye, Ariel.

Papa.

Look at you.

Papa, this is Philippa.

Let's go in there.

Sit down.

I've brought you some money.

You smoke?

There is a huge search going on

throughout the entire country.

They've concluded

that you haven't left Italy yet.

A roadblock

was set up on the highway...

just outside the city.

I don't think they've blocked

all the secondary roads yet...

but I'm sure they will soon.

You could still come with me.

It's worth trying.

I'm not going with you.

But I would very much like you

to take Filippo with you.

He told me he loves you.

Yes.

What about you?

Yes.

I'm not going with you, Dad.

I know.

I do know you a little.

Why can we never do anything

at the most important moments?

Give Ariel a hug for me.

Clear the table.

We're going to eat.

Wait.

I've got to finish my drawing.

I said now.

Wait.

I have to show it to Grandpa.

Show him afterwards.

I was afraid you wouldn't come.

Come inside.

I made the bed for you.

I'll bring you

something to eat later.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The police will come.

Now?

Yes. Now.
