from your house, Rosa,

then how could he be guilty of the crime?

Sure! Sure! My cousin can testify to it, too.

It's a disgrace that these gentlemen

are in prison.

They'll gel out.

They'll gel out.

And you, if you don'! tell the truth,

they'll say you did it to cause harm.

Out of bitterness. Is that nice?

No, it's not - nor is it fair.

Do you agree, Rosa?

This dish is too salty.

Rosa, what are you doing?

You're leaving? Where are you going?

Where am I going?

It's just that I'm ashamed of

this dress and these bare arms.

I'm in mourning, aren't I?

So I should dress in mourning.

- Who is it?

- Rosa Nicolosi.

- That morning...

- No, come on, Rosa. Come in!

Tell me.

- So, that morning?

- That morning Pizzuco called my husband...

for work, he said. My husband

went and I never saw him again.

We haven't stopped looking for him.

Look at these glasses -

they were found at Pizzuco's site.

None of the workers there recognizes them.

Are they your husband's?

- I... I don't know.

- Didn't he wear sunglasses?

Yes, but I don't know if it's them.

You must believe me,

I can tell you the truth in here,

and I've told you!

What you say inside here is useless,

if you won't repeat it outside!

No! I came to tell you,

but I won'! testify outside.

You won't speak

in from of the judges, right?

I have to think about my daughter.

You know what they're saying here?

They say my investigation is just...

a political campaign to sling

mud at certain big shots in Rome!

That the confessions were forced!

That Don Mariano was a victim!

They say that I've blamed an honest man,

and that I deliberately avoided investigating the crime of passion! Do you understand!?

I'm saving you from ruin!

And what are you doing for me?

- I did what I could.

- No! Like the others,

you did what I told you to do!

You did nothing of your own free will!

But I still managed, all the same.

Even though I received only...

silence from all of you, instead of help.

Well, what is it, Rosa?

Are you also thinking that I'm,

as all the others say, 'arrogant'?

Go on, say it!

What do I know?

Who knows you?

''At the inauguration

above the authorities, the dead underneath "

- Captain Bellodi!

- You can'! pass.

Let me through!

Captain Bellodi!

Captain, do you want a drink?

- What are you doing? Are you pulling it all up?

- Piece by piece. Everything.

And who'll pay for it?

Corporal!

Come here!

Come, we've found him!

- Captain, here!

- Let the Captain through!

Come on, hurry!

- Who is it?

- It's him, the one they were searching for...

Rosa Nicolosi's husband.

The one they couldn't find.

Come on, turn him over!

- Parrineddu!

- It's Parrineddu!

Remove that cork from his mouth.

That letter, Captain... you got it?

It's them who sent it.

Masons, builders,

carpenters, laborers, unemployed!

Bring yourselves to the housing projects!

Bless you, Don Mariano!

My respects, Don Mariano!

Don Mariano is back!

He's a good Christian!

Santuzza! Bring me the

binoculars from the writing desk.

The air in Palermo didn't do me any good.

It made me feel heavy and nauseous.

My head always felt heavy.

Have you heard? They arrested

the director of the Provinciale Bank.

Why did they arrest him?

He was a good man.

That's why they arrested him.

Because he was a good man, of course!

He'll get out. He'll get out soon enough!

We go! out too, didn't we!?

You can speak when the hen pisses!

(I. e. Shut up!)

There's a new Captain.

Give it to me.

He has a likeable face. Open-minded.

Take it.

You're right, like a father.

I be! he's got a wife and kids.

Even better, if he has a big family,

he'll take care of his own business.

- He'll always be a Carabiniere.

- Like Bellodi.

Bellodi was a man.

This one seems a blabbermouth.

- Blabbermouth!

- Blabbermouth. .
