Dr. Scalambri,

Public Prosecutor's Office.

Let us proceed in peace.

Gentlemen... Gentlemen.

Gentlemen!

I realise I can't interrogate

you one by one.

So, I'll try to recreate the

scene of the crime.

Please stand where you were last night.

- Not barefoot?

- No, with shoes.

- Professor, weren't you at the back?

- No.

- Weren't you at the front?

- I was here.

I was the first! Gentlemen, please...

Can you tell me who was with

you when you began?

The Hon. Michelozzi and the

President, for sure.

Mr. President...

Indeed I was here before I left...

and poor Michelozzi... also because...

- And Mozio.

- Yes...

Schiavo...

There's Schiavo.

- Come, Schiavo.

- No.

- No?

- No.

- You were there.

- No, it was Capra Porfiri.

- No, you were.

- No.

- You were.

- No, Capra Porfiri.

No, Mr. President, I was in the

second line, on the right.

No, that's not correct.

Between me and Schiavo,

there was Senator Caudo on my right.

I've never been on your right, Mozio.

I've always been to the left of you.

How were you placed?

The President, Mozio, Michelozzi,

Don Gaetano, Voltrano, me and Vestrero.

That's a lie. I've never been

on Michelozzi's right.

Come off it! You've always

been on the right!

You were even to the right of Mussolini!

Gentlemen, I must know who was

on Michelozzi's right.

Look, unfortunately, as everyone knows,

I confuse the right with the left.

I've been the butt of ridicule...

this anomaly has given rise to many misunderstandings.

But I can testify that at the

time of the shot...

On the right of Michelozzi was...

Please...

- Capra Porfiri.

- No.

- Caudo.

- No.

- Please, Schiavo...

- Otherwise... - Caudo... Caudo.

On my right was... Don Gaetano.

Yes. And the only one who can

bear witness is Voltrano,

who's to the right of everyone,

so interrogate him.

Voltrano? Would the Hon. Voltrano

please come forward?

Anyone approaching the Hon. Voltrano...

is asked to tell him that Judge

Scalambri is at his disposal.

The Interrogating Judge is at his disposal.

Giacinta!

Giacinta!

- Giacinta? - Who is it?

- It's me, open up!

Voltrano came in.

He was raving... He undressed me

and tried to rape me.

He stole all my tights.

He was in a frenzy.

He swore like a trooper.

- It was awful!

- Sit down.

Did you give in?

He left a letter for you.

He said it was all in there.

My God!

- It's the end.

- No, don't leave me.

I've never taken money from them.

Mr. President, they'll kill me...

Capra Porfiri...

Who gave it to him?

Yes, burn it!

Well...

Shall I burn it?

Can't we mediate?

Yes, I'll keep the letter.

It's better for everyone.

Zater's like a tomb.

Besides, you have no choice.

Don't you worry.

I'd like you to hear my confession.

You should've taken your vows.

Being a lay person doesn't suit you.

Have you ever tried to dress as a priest?

Try it. At least once.

It's a bit like being a woman.

In summer, the breeze enters

under the genitals.

You can go without briefs.

Priests are half-men and half-women.

- I'm listening.

- I dream!

I had a meeting with the

Dutch Ambassador... and...

- I dreamt.

- What?

I dream... like this,

with my eyes open.

Desires...

of rape... even passive,

understand?

- Deeds?

- None, like in politics.

Even there I dream of taking decisions...

The Health Reform, free medicines, for instance.

- And?

- You know how concerned I am about it,

but I can't pass it.

I set the wheels in motion...

Then I pull back.

It's like a... like a frustrated erection.

So... what should I do in this immobility?

One must wait for all to be fulfilled.

Yes?

They've found Voltrano... dead!

I knew it! Give me absolution.

Another time; there's no hurry.

- The letter.

- I'll guard it jealously.

- I trust you.

- Good.

- It's risky...

- I know.

They left it like that -

in two garbage bags, sewn up together.

No, it's better not to go near it.

Professor Orecchio states the Hon. Voltrano

shows signs of the epidemic.

Did the disease kill him?

No, he was murdered.

But there are signs of it.

What do you think of these murders?

Well, you see, for me...

these murders never really happened.

- He's barefoot.

- True.

Tights. Panties.

Panties, tights...

Voltrano's bag was full of panties...

I wonder why?

- Spares.

- What do you mean?

Everyone knows Voltrano was a pansy.

He started in the seminary,

continued in the prison camp...

He was a happy little arse...

Why did they give this case to a

young prosecutor like you?

Because I was on duty.

Don't make me laugh!

They're afraid of being found out.

We all have so many fears here.

Anyone who errs here, dear Sir,

errs for ever.

- I'm going down.

- Pity!

What do you mean?

Rome sent me word that you're

a Mason. Is it true?

You've never been baptised.

Is that possible?

- Yes.

- I'm ready to be your godfather.

You must let us leave.

Duties and responsibilities await us.

- In Parliament...

- The Senate...

We absolutely must leave.

We feel like we're on trial.

Treat this not as an investigation,

but as a continuation of your spiritual exercises,

and consider me as your confessor.

Like hell you're our confessor!

Is that you?

- Who are these people?

- Specialists.

Specialists? Do me a favour.

Not the dog collar. Please!

Don't worry, madam, he'll be back soon.

Don't worry, Giacinta.

- Where's room 801?

- At the end, on the right.

- Praised be Jesus Christ.

- Now and for ever.

Miss, we're still waiting.

Even if they weren't part of our faction...

Voltrano... Michelozzi...

Voltrano... Michelozzi...

Shut up!

We'll end up like them.

They'll kill us all!

Miss, tell him the call will be amplified.

Excellency, he's here. Hold on.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Come closer.

Good evening - about time!

Don't argue!

I don't need to warn you that

this call will be recorded.

Obviously!

Tell me who's there?

Ventre, Schiavo, Caprarozza, Bastante,

Mischia, Mozio, Giocu, Vestrero,

Sacca, Mortale, Fatigo,

Pausa, Lo Mazzo, Caudo and me.

Friends, unless Caudo leaves

the room I will not continue.

Agreed!

Has he left?

Did you hear? Please go.

Has he gone?

He's going.

Caprarozza, check it out.

I inform you that the Party is

sure of your innocence.

Therefore, you can co-operate with the judge,

taking due precautions.

I believe the group must disband.

- Two are already dead.

- The plot thickens! Some have heart ailments.

- The cook is innocent.

- The killers come from outside...

- why are we staying?

- What do you want?

This is our opinion:

everything can be lost, or salvaged.

The Party tells you, come on, stay, stay.

Pray, continue with your spiritual exercises,

until the judge lifts all restrictions.

So, the Party advises us to stay?

No! The Party orders you to stay.

Keep us informed.

The survivors will.

We shall see. Good evening.

Good evening.

They want to keep us here,

away from our organisations.

- Press and TV.

- Parliament, banks...

- Parishes...
