BATMAN: I'm glad you think so. You're going to be doing the cutting. Who with the what now? What's that? A piece of kryptonite that you're going to use like a lens. Narrow your blaster to minimum and filter it through. I really don't know if I can... Please. Tell me what to do. SURGEON: That's good. We're ready for you now. [GRUNTING] I have it [CROWD CHEERING] MAN 1; All right! MAN 2: Yeah! What happened? Why don't you ask him? BATMAN: It was a coordinated attack intended to kill us... or, failing that, put us out of commission for an extended period. Obviously the first step of a larger scheme, something that we would stop. The attacks were strategically brilliant. They were specifically targeted at our physical and psychological weaknesses. Obviously by someone who knows us very well. The plans were mine. WONDER WOMAN:
Yours? FLASH: Say what, now? BATMAN: I've carefully studied every Justice Leaguer, past and present... and created contingency plans to neutralize you... should that become necessary. FLASH: You've gotta be kidding me. Neutralize, not kill. Whoever implemented my plans altered them. It's still a completely unacceptable breach of our trust. The Justice League are among the most powerful... and potentially dangerous people on the planet. FLASH: You think one of us would go over to the other side? Or succumb to mind control. Yes, it's possible. That's why I developed plans for containing any or all members... of the JLA should the need ever arise. None of us would ever do that to you. Then you're damned fools. FLASH: Where do you think you're going? I'm just a visitor. This is getting personal. Stay. You're part of this now. I'm not sure I have a problem with Batman's contingency plans. But letting somebody steal them was pretty damned dumb. I've had some time to think about that and I know how it happened. Security video from the Batcave. He's in hologram form... so the motion detectors didn't have anything to lock on to. Mirror Master's not that careful.
And the technology, the scope of all this? He's not working alone. The video's from the night we caught the Royal Flush Gang. Whoever set them up with that inter dimensional lock pick... also gave Mirror Master the means to steal encrypted files. SUPERMAN: But the encryption on your files is all but unbreakable. All but. I can find them. As you say, my encryption is formidable, but in the event that it ever was cracked... You had a contingency plan. When my files are decrypted, they call home. Louisiana. Swampland. METALLO: So that thing's really going to kill half the population of Earth. SAVAGE: Not exactly. The solar flare will do most of the damage. Solar flare? Think of this as a pilot light. When our ideal launch window opens in just over an hour... this magnificent creation will fly into the sun... trailing magnetic resonance. - And when it hits? - It will trigger a solar flare... that will propagate at light speed along the magnetic trail we've left. Eight and a half minutes later... it will utterly destroy the sunward-facing side of the Earth. Nearly half the world's population will die instantly. And thanks to the accompanying electromagnetic pulse... any technology more advanced than, say, the steam engine... will simply stop working. No technology, no superheroes, no functioning governments. Except the one we control. J'ONN JONNZ: That's quite an ambitious plan.
No wonder you wanted us out of the way. - I thought you took care of him. - He should've been burning for weeks. Don't feel bad. Actually, none of you managed to finish the job. Did you get all that? We did. Take them down. Don't let them get to the missile. [ALL GRUNTING] [GROANING] Ha! I still can't believe what you tried to do to me. You hurt me, Jordan. You broke my heart, and I'll never stop trying to hurt you back. [GRUNTING] That's new. You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you? [CHEETAH GROWLING] [BOTH GROWLING] [GRUNTING] Didn't I bury you alive? That's where you made your mistake. I won't repeat it. [YELLS] [CHEETAH GROANS] You're good, but lately, I've had a lot of practice fighting you. [GROWLING] Where's the flipping countdown command? COMPUTER:
Missile launch aborted. [METAL CLANGS] [CYBORG GRUNTING] [GROANING] [CYBORG GRUNTS] You never asked me how my wrist was healing. Fine, how's your...? Unh! Surprisingly fast. [BOTH GROWLING AND SCREECHING] COMPUTER: Manual launch sequence engaged. [GRUNTING] [ALARM WAILING] [BOTH GROWLING] Ah! [BOTH GRUNTING] [GROANING] [RUMBLING] Welcome to the dawn of a new world. [GRUNTING] I've got work to do. [GRUNTING] [GASPS] GREEN LANTERN: I do keep hurting you, don't I? WONDER WOMAN: Savage launched the weapon. - Superman's already in pursuit. - On it.
GREEN LANTERN [OVER RADIO]: Superman, where are you? I'm approaching the missile. I should easily be able to intercept it before it detonates. GREEN LANTERN: Superman? - Can't talk now. No. The solar flare is coming. How do we stop it? I don't know, but we've got less than eight minutes to figure something out. Maybe longer. [CYBORG PANTING] [SAVAGE GRUNTING] [CYBORG GRUNTS] - Not much blood. - Not much back. - You think he'll stop it'? - He'll stop it. Not this time. Flare's on its way. We've got seven minutes to come up with something. Seven minutes? Hal's gonna try to buy us more, but that's all we can count on. [GRUNTS] [GRUNTING] SUPERMAN: Maybe I could move the Earth out of the way? If we had a week, I couldn't list all the reasons that won't work. - You have a plan?
- No, but Savage does. This place is going to be sun side by the time the flare gets here. The Legion wasn't worried either. There must be some mechanism to protect them from the flare. Start talking. I don't have time for niceties. You don't have time to break an immortal either. CYBORG: Don't have to. I know how they intended to survive. The intangibility tech he gave the Royal Flush Gang. It must've been a test run. Sure, just let the flare pass right through this place. But where's the apparatus? It would have to be huge. That's the beauty part. The Hall of Doom is the apparatus. I already downloaded the specs when I interfaced with the control panel. Can this building generate a signal strong enough to make the whole Earth intangible? CYBORG: If we had enough power. Also, it would help if it were higher up. - How high? - Low orbit. I can help you out with that. Everybody knows their jobs. Go [BLEEPING] [GRUNTING] [GRUNTING]
Ah! [J'ONN JONNZ GROANS] J'onn? It's Green Lantern. His shield just failed. The solar flare is on its way. What about it? Ls the displacement field ready? - I think so, I'd like to test... - This is the test. [POWERING UP] [POWERING DOWN] SUPERMAN: I'm calling this official meeting to order. First, some news for those of you who haven't heard. The world court has just found Vandal Savage guilty... of crimes against humanity. Tell them what the immortal got. Life in prison, without possibility of parole. A little new business. I want to officially welcome... the newest member of the Justice League by unanimous consent, Cyborg. GREEN LANTERN: Nice. Way to go. - Good job. - Congratulations, Victor. Thanks, everybody. And now, the main reason I called this session. In light of the breach of trust revealed to us during the Vandal Savage matter... we have to decide whether Batman should be allowed to remain in the league. - All those in favor of... - Wait.
Before we vote, the accused should be allowed a few words in his defense. Seconded. Okay. Batman? My actions don't require any defense. In the same situation, I'd do it again. Oh, come on. As individuals, and even more so as a group... the Justice League is too dangerous to lack a fail-safe... against any possible misuse of our power. We use our power to protect the world. We always have. And what if we ever used it for some other purpose? If you people can't see the potential danger of an out-of-control Justice League... I don't need to wait for a vote. I don't belong here. SUPERMAN: Got a minute? What do you want? You made contingency plans to stop everybody in the League... just in case any of us ever went bad. BATMAN: My contingencies were intended to immobilize, not kill. But Savage came up with the plan to bury you. I assume so. It wasn't one of mine. Was that it? With all that talk about unchecked power... you're still so arrogant you didn't bother to come up with a plan to stop yourself? I do have a plan. It's called the Justice League. Just wanted to be sure. What is it? If the league ever did go over to the wrong side...
I want there to be somebody I can trust to keep the planet safe. Even from me. [English - US - SDH] Where is the money Courier, Six minutes left? Another piece to the rear. A little further back. Backwards. Please do not do this. I am the Courier. - Dispose of the bag. Are you okay? No. - Hang. Do not move, I'm almost there. - Great. Ransom paid DAUGHTER FOR BANKS What do you have? - The money was delivered on time, job done. As for the other job, the Russian has disappeared. What about the bag? - Lost. Coffee? Fuck you, search your own home. Note the footwork. As they move. See that, Lucy? - Yes.
This is absolute perfection. He dances. God, you will be big. You smell like the art class. - Thank you, Lucy. I bet one hundred dollars, that the Irishman with him the next series K.O. stores. You are about to see that Grandpa loses $ 100. He is sloppy. He let his hands hang too much. There he goes. I told you. I have taught you too well. That's the problem. Lucy, we must go, or you arrives late at school. Thank you, Dad. See you tomorrow. - Day baby. How are you? - Well, nice to see you again. Let's cut to connect, Lucy is right. That smell of glue makes me mad. One evening he had a match High stakes and went K.O. And then I asked him: How do you manage to be sustained? He said to me: the mystery of pain ... that it is always in one place can feel. And everything you need to know is, where to feel it. So ... but once you get the deal. - What? Alone.
It would not hurt you ... to go outside and see that there is more in life. I can help you with that, really. You would be amazed. I'm good with the females. Hey, you should not come in here. They say you're the best. That everyone can find. You ask no questions. You not choose sides. It does not interest you what you deliver. And therefore, I was asked ... this job to offer. $ 100,000 to deliver this suitcase. And if I say no? You have two and a half days to the suitcase to be delivered. Fuck you. If you deliver him, you get the money and you see us ever again. But if you reject my offer ... - God. Or, you're not on time ... then, as you see, You're not the only one we can find. To whom do I submit it? - A man named Evil Sivle. Where is he? - If I knew, I was not here. This is $ 10,000. I hope that your costs. The rest you get when you deliver the suitcase. You have now started 60 hours. The time is ticking. No trace of the Russians or the trunk. Who has it, is dead.
On the other hand, Steele Lake Charles has the problem solved ... and he is on his way to St. Louis. - Keep me informed. Tell her we go; because it is closer to the toy stores ... I want her there and back to increase Hang in there. If there is not a destination, why must there something coming? They want to score just find. - Then I find him. And I think those other two bastards too. Stitch, I'll arrange it. What do you know about this Sivle Evil? - Not much good. He has done business with Maxwell. Something of contract killers. Extremely brutal. Nobody has ever seen him, but everyone knows his name. And long before Katrina they all disappeared. Disappeared? What happened? - No one knows. But this is New Orleans. Set one no questions. Collection agency ACQUITTED - Who is this man? That was Maxwell's auditor. If you want to find someone from that team, you start with him. At one point, the FBI discovered you in their database hacked. They have not caught me so far and that they are not going to do. Uncle Eddie. I believe my eyes.
The last time I saw you you were but a high peat ... and put you to mess in the case from your father. How is he? Well, come inside. What are you doing in New Orleans? What do you need today? We all have good things on route 90 of the truck fall. I needed something light not be traced. How about that courier? Are you promoted? I did not know you wear a gun. We have what you need. Walther 380 ACP. Those crashes. I can not trust her. - Name a woman who can trust? Colt 38. A short walk. - Fixed shot. This is the Ford of pistols. I want a Cadillac. We have a .44 Magnum, 3-inch. This is the V8 '67 Cadillac of guns. May I ask what? What do you know about a guy Sivle called Evil? Since you want nothing to do with it. - Is that so? I've seen him ten years ago. Death came and lay his finger on New Orleans. And that finger belonged to, Evil Sivle.
- So there you are looking for. Then you have some better weapons. And why? - Because the man is dead. He is risen from the dead. It is said that voodoo him to life. Because the left hand of death death can not go. So that you do not mind chasing, not at all. Listen, I take the Caddy and the HK. The best weapon ever built the Magnum 350. Do you still need something else, Courier? Actually, I should as soon as possible to St. Louis. We can help you so bad. - I thought so One hour. - This is the key to the gate. But you must bring your own pilot. That was it, always nice to do business with you. Stitch. - Got it? No. Call Jimmy for me. - Have you been traveling? Yes, I'm half a mile west Bayou Teche, north of 83. I'll arrange it for you. - Yes, right now. Thank you. Eddie sent me. He said you needed a pilot. Stitch.
- I think they made it. Yes, she is here. What happened to Jimmy? - He is working on something. You could ask me that. I stand in front of you. How long. - Since her fifth. I know him from my fourth. - Since your fifth. I have chosen her for a good reason. - Why? I did recoveries with my father. She steals all cars before they could ride. She has been through a lot. Her mother left her, went back to China ... her father landed in jail. I practically raised her, while he was stuck. It's actually Deidre's little sister. She is strong, smart and fearless. Do you think I would send someone that the job could not. And apart from that, I thought you in one way or the other would come together. You both need someone. - No surprises. You are incredible. I'm glad you think so. - You really think you're a charmer, or not? Refreshing, no? Tell me, Why you'll work with Stitch? I need the money. And that none of your business.
Well, actually ... that is my business. Wait a minute, I have not agreed something to steal. We're going to steal anything. We borrow it only briefly. Okay, and your friend has the keys certainly lost? Something like that. Want to go? You know this is going to cost you extra? - That is already the case. So, what exactly is your job? I deliver things. What's in it? - Do you always ask so many questions? Questions go along with the pilot. Nothing you say will cost three times as much. I never ask what's inside. - Why not? That's why people hire me. I ask no questions, I'll supply alone. I think you're involved in it. You think you do not, but ... I think you should concentrate more on your driving style. If I can fly and talk I can drive and talk. Okay, wait a minute. We go right here. See that black car? Remain two car lengths behind. Look at his flashers, use but not yours. If he returns, wait five seconds. Then once you do, you do everything he does.
Is this a standard delivery procedure? - It is making progress. Calm down. Turn the car off. Wait here. Wait a minute. Calm down. I have a few questions. It is not safe here. - What is not safe? He's back. He will take vengeance on us all. Let me go, please. - Where Evil Sivle? Nobody likes Evil Sivle. He will find you. And if he finds you, he is the last what you will ever see. Why is he back? Retribution. Evil takes back what was taken from him. Why am I doing this? What? - Sem Frantanna is dead The old data is destroyed. Steele is also dead. What happened? - We do not know exactly. It's your job to know. - Yes, sir. In three days I take back what is mine.
Everything must be settled. Take Steele his job and check for the case. - Yes, sir. Stanton, come here. Sit down, boy. I have something for you. I'm only two days birthday. - I can not wait. Wait, let me. Sit down. Connection is there. Have you ever thought that the time for another job? That did not hurt. Keep pressure on the wound. I can not really place your accent? Where are you from? A little bit of everywhere. - Has 'everywhere' in a name? I was born in China. But then, just everywhere. Why did you come back? Because the life a very nasty humor. What? You perfume. - Lily of the valley. Do you not like? No, I think it's good. It's just ... What is it? Thank you.
- No. - Come on. Doctor. - Did two sleep last night? - It looks like it is. - Please, Mr. Barletta. - Thank you. - Who is Mariella? - What? The house is called Mariella. - Who is it? "My poor mother's name." - Is she dead? - Five years ago, it was a disgrace. What misfortune? She had unexpected discomfort while swimming, here in front. Did you find your father? - Yes. He called me last night at 9. I arrived this morning at 8, but the door was locked. I opened it with my key, I entered the room and I saw it. What did you do? I do not understand. He started to scream, came to see if he was alive? No, when I saw it I realized that there was nothing else to do. Did your father have a mistress? - Not that I know of. "Did you sleep with anyone last night?" - Have you seen the bedroom? - I did not pay attention. I was referring to a fixed lover... Because my father liked women.
He liked "young girls". My sister Giovanna often fought with him for this reason. - I will be back soon. - Thank you. Commissar! - Annoy? "No, sit down." - Have you eaten? - Yes. Then? In Barletta's bed, there were three woman's hairs. They were long and black. Pasquano also requested an analysis... of the coffee that was on the tablecloth and in the cup. If you were shot, what does coffee have to do? I do not know. It is necessary to see to whom they belong the black hair. It will not be easy. Let's try. I want to talk to Giovanna Pusateri, the daughter of Barletta. - I already did. - What? I thought I would ask... So I took the liberty of summoning her to the police station. - It will arrive in half an hour. - When you do that, you make me angry. - If I had another commitment? - I would have postponed the appointment. - Do you have another appointment? - No. - And? - And that?
Good morning, I am Giovanna Pusateri, the daughter of Cosimo Barletta. - I have been told to introduce myself. - Yes please. - Inspector Fazio. - A pleasure. I am Commissioner Montalbano. Sit down. When did you see your father the last time? - A week ago. - Who gave you the news? - My brother called me Arturo. He called me right away. - When? "This early morning." Just woke up my children, we should go to a picnic. - Did your father have enemies? - I think the list is long. But I do not know their names. Dad did not have a good character. In business did not walk with subtleties. The relationship with his brother how was it? Before they were fine, then, three years ago there was a crack. - Do you know the reason? - The testament. I mean? One Sunday, Dad invited us to a lunch in the villa. He told us that he wanted to make the will. She told us that most of the inheritance was for me. Arturo got angry and asked for explanations. Dad told him that he had decided so because I had two children... - instead he does not.
- Was the testament made? I do not know, it would have to be asked to the notary Piscopo of Montelusa. It is his great friend. It was... Did your father have a mistress? A lover does not fix, but had so many girls. Dad liked twenty-something. Why did twenty-year-olds walk with a man much larger than them? Dad had the charm of mature man... and above all was very generous with them. Arturo feared that Dad would squander money on these girls. His father the last night was not alone in the house. - No? - Do not. - Who was it? - We do not know. The Scientist found three woman's hair in the bed. Could not they have been there before? In what sense? Dad in the villa had a woman for cleaning... It was fixed alone, went once every so often. He did not say that those hairs were from yesterday. I do not understand why is an important clue. It is important because we have not found forced entry signals. Maybe this woman has opened the door to the murderer... or maybe it could be her herself the killer. What a horrible thing... Do you know who visited her father lately? I... I do not want to be wrong, but more than two months ago I was in the house. I answered the phone, was a young voice, a certain Stella. I wanted to talk to Dad and pass it on.
Joking I asked who his new "llama" was. She told me that she was a university student of Medicine... I lived in Vigata with his parents, but I do not know... No! - What are you doing here? - Surprise. - What a beautiful surprise! - I had some days and I came. You have done well. Come. Do you have much to do? This morning we have discovered a homicide. It will be hard days. - But at night we will be together. - Clear. Have you had a good trip? Yes. - Tired? - No I left Selene with the neighbor. What a pity! Liar. Why? "I love that bitch! Have you agreed to take a shower, but have not wanted money? Yes, weird! I was dressed like a tramp, but... - Physically how is it? - Nothing in particular. Body like mine, maybe a little more sturdy. Tall as me.
But it caught my attention because... - Where are you going? - I'm going. I want to see one thing. I wait for you. - What are you doing? "Except, you've never worn it." - Then? "We can give it to her." - To whom? - The Camastra. - Also this. - Why? They can serve you. - This houses. - They can serve me, too. - You have one identical. This... "" This too? " Not this, please! I always use and I'm fond of it. - Then this is not. - Not that. Try it. - It's new! - These look bad on you. Not this one. You gave it to me Adelina, you are offended... - if you do not find it. - So! - Adelina decides what to wear? "No, Adelina does not." But do not get me in trouble. Now let's eat!
There is no rush, is not naked, not winter. Come. - Doctor, excuse me! - What's up? A young girl wants to talk to you personally in person. - He says it is an urgent matter. - Where is? I took her to her office. - As it is called? He told me, but I did not understand. The young lady has told me that she is called as her sister. - Are you sure? - Yes. - Good morning, I am Commissioner Montalbano. - Stella Lasorella, a pleasure. A pleasure, yes I know. The medical student. Last night on TV listen... that dark hair was found on the bed. They are not mine. You can do as many tests as you like. Are not you the girl who spent the night with Barletta in the house? No. When was the last time you were in the house? I was only once. He wanted our first meeting to be there. I have never returned. - Where were your meetings held? - In his house of Vigata. It was easier. Dad, Mom and I live in the same building in Barletta.
When I wanted to... Put the carpet some way in front of the door. When dad and mom were asleep, I went down to see him. You loved Barletta. If I could, I would spit on his corpse. Why then? Dad was fired four months ago. He went to see Barletta to ask him a delay in the rent. But Barletta refused and told him that he would kick us out of the house. One night Barletta found me on the stairs... and made me the proposal you can intuit. Look a little. But what... Good morning everyone! - Mimì, Blessed are the eyes that see! - Where have you been? - I had three days vacation. I was in the field with Beba and Salvucio in the matter of my sister, I have recreated! - You did well. Come. - What's up? - Are you interested in the item? - What is it? - Have you heard of Barletta's homicide? - By newspapers. These are photos that we found in the dead man's house. They are pictures of all the girls say, they had to do with him. Now you look at them all and see if you recognize one of these girls. You compare them with the photos of the young girls... - we have in the file. - Giuseppe can do it!
No, it has another thing to do. Good work, Mimì. See you. - Thank you very much! - You're welcome. Good work, doctor. But how many are they? Can you? Montalbano... Montalbano! Only you are able to enter... without someone having told you ahead. Only you are able to come to break the balls... to a gentleman who is working! But, excuse your job is in eating four cannoli? What the fuck do you want from me? - Can not you imagine? - I imagine. But I like to hear his melodious voice - he asks me for something. I would like to know about Barletta, if he likes it. How well does Italian speak! Bravo. According to you how they have killed it? And how, they shot him. Montalbano! You are "diminishing" totally. But how did he not realize... The little blood out of the wound. Yes, I noticed, but I want to hear it from you, because I am respectful of the roles. Do not make me laugh! - Go ahead with the questions. - It's okay.
Why did you want the Scientist to analyze the coffee scraps? Was he killed by poisoning before shooting? Exactly. Why does the killer first poison him and then shoot him? That's not part of my competencies, but I can give you a little help... as they do in television contests . Are we sure that it is the same person? - At what time did he die? - Finally a smart question. Not later than 6.30 in the morning. - What kind of poison was it? - I save the scientific name. I just tell you that this poison... first causes immediate paralysis... and then an instant death. Finished? - No, still some questions. "Only two, please." Is it possible that the effect of the paralyzing poison... Have you kept sitting like you were alive? Yes. - Had he had relationships? - Yes, he had them. Now enough questions. I do not accompany you, Montalbano, you know where the door is. - Doctor, those cannoli... - Do you want one? Hold it. "Take the food out of my mouth!" - Let's hope it drowns. - No, come down very well. Cuckold! Except, we have identified two. - Who? - Giuseppe and I have insisted... help me. "I could not tell him no.
I imagine how much you have insisted. - The usual poses? - The usual poses, yes. - Who is it? - Jasna Polnar, 20 years old, Slavic. They stopped her a week ago because had no documents, she will have been deported. We control. The other? Stefania Interdonato, this I know. Normal knowledge or something else? She is a saleswoman in a perfumery in the center. I met her at friends' house. - How is it? A girl that if she wants, this one. - Cobra? - I do not know. - Have you had a relationship with her? - I could have, but I did not. I want to talk to her, _ Make her come here unofficially. - It's okay. Can I go now? - No, another five minutes. I was with Pasquano. He told me that Barletta did not die why he was shot. - Are you kidding? - And how did he die? - He died poisoned. They put a paralyzing poison in the coffee, died about 6, 6... What need was to shoot him after he died? I have an idea, but it's crazy.
Two assassins decide to act at the same time... one without knowing the other. The first puts the poison in the coffee... and Barletta when he drinks it stays like this because it is a paralyzing poison. The second arrives he sees it like this, thinks he is alive and shoots him. Two people acting one without knowing the other? - Mimì, I know... - I'm getting an idea. Dila. On the sink there was a cup, a dish and a teaspoon well washed and dried. Maybe the killer had coffee with Barletta that morning. She put the venom hidden inside of the cup and I hope that I drank it. Then when he was sure that he was dead, I washed everything he had touched... and left the house closing the door behind him. If my hypothesis makes sense the killer... Could be the woman who slept with him that night. It is incredible the fact... that when this woman leaves after poisoning him... - soon the other killer enters. - Why did you say just leave? Fazio told me that there was blood around the corpse. This means they have been shot just dead... otherwise there would not have been nor a drop. You're right. We can say that the two assassins acted between 6.30 to 8. Which is the schedule in which Arturo arrived at the Villa. In each case, we must do the task for two. Inspector Fazio and Dr. Augello are "waiting." And I am in "arrival". Commissioner, Jasna Polnar has not been stopped anymore. I brought Stefania Interdonato, it's in your office. Come on, come on. - Good day! - Good day. I am Commissioner Montalbano.
- Stefania Interdonato. "A pleasure, please, sit down." I will ask you just a few questions. How did you meet Barletta? One day she entered the perfumery with a beautiful young girl... and looked for a perfume. I wanted to buy a very expensive French perfume. It costs 180 euros. The same night when closing I found it. - Good evening, miss. - Goodnight. - How is it? - All good. - You? - A strange thing happened to me. - What happened to him? "Since last night, I think of you. Really. That night I refused. After Cosimo returned the following night and I accepted. He took me to a beautiful restaurant in Montelusa. Then all night by the locals of the city. - How long did your relationship last? - Four months. - Where were they? - In the village. I took him because I do not have a car. - Did you make gifts? Yes, rings, bracelets. Money? Only once gave me 10,000 euros because I had a maturity. - Who wanted to finish? - I.
- Surely that was so? - Yes. This is an informal interview. Madam, we are having particular attention... to protect your privacy. It is well commissioner, it was him. I have begun to write to him, to call him, but he nothing. Then one night a friend lent me the car... and I went to the villa. Cosimo, open the door! I know you're with a woman. Cosimo! Stefania, what do you want to do? Why did you come? You have disappeared. It seemed that the situation was clear enough. I've wanted you, I've given you what I could, but now it's over. - And why? - Because things end. - Dale, go home. - Who is inside with you? - I know there is a woman. - No one. It's for her, right? I like you more and I have not made any promise to you. Did you know about this? No. I did not know anything, I swear. - I would not have allowed it. - I believe you. What a shame. - You should not be ashamed.
Barletta sneaked out then blackmail the girl... With which he walked. - Can we continue? - Yes. Where was the night of Saturday when Barletta was killed? At my mother's house, with my son and I stayed to sleep there. - Do you have a child? "Yes, Simone, she's two years old. Luckily my mother helps me, otherwise I would not know how to do. The father escaped before he was born. Madam, for me we are finished. Thank you. Goodbye. Doctor, listen... Take them. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Photos must be submitted to the judge! - Are you crazy? Give you 200 photos of naked women... with carnal fantasies as he would say, to Tommaseo. - That one stays dry! - You can not decide, it's the law. These are proofs and must be given to the judge. It's okay. This means that Tommaseo instead of 20 envelopes... - you will get 18! - Commissioner, 20 minus one is 19. Here you are. Do you see that they are 18? If Tommaseo realizes we tell him... that like these girls I questioned them... and by chance your photos ended at the end of the drawer of my desk... And always by chance I have lost them.
- It is known that I am a distracted type. - Commissioner... At least these two girls want to save? Hello? - Commissar! - Doctor Tommaseo, good day. I go fast to the point, I do not want to waste time. In the report of the Scientific seems... that in the bed of Barletta that long ago was a widower... have discovered three long and dark women's hair... - and some pubic hair. Understands? - Yes? - The same color of hair? - How of the same color? I say the pubic hair of the same color of the hair? Now I do not have... Mr. Judge, because we must go ahead with the investigation. We discovered that Barletta was a womanizer. He photographed the women with which he went to bed. How did you photograph them? Mr. Judge, I photographed them naked. - And I do not tell you what pose! - Jesus, Jesus... - Mr. Judge, do you feel well? - Wait, I drink some water. - Did you find these photos? - Lord judge, there are 180! - Do you want me to send it to you? - Sure, send them to me. - I must see them immediately. - Sure, I'll send them right away.
- I greet you. "Bye, Commissioner. - Livia! - Except. Are you ready? Do you explain me again how do I get to Camastra? It is simple. You go down the coast. You pass the first roundabout, you reach the second. Then turn right for Punta Braccetto, and you will find it on the right. It is a modest house, of tuff. - I'll see you right away? - Yes. - We must go because it is late. - Let's stay here... Do not you want to go to the restaurant? - No. - Let's do spaghetti here? - Maybe, yes. - What does "maybe" mean? After. After? Listen "after". You said it. When you say "after" like this, you make me pass the appetite. - Livia! - Yes? I wanted to tell you before... you have a physical... - Gym. - Fitness center? - Do you like it? - Now I'll make you see if I like it.
- Should not you go to the office? - I can lose another half hour. - What did you say? Do you waste time with me? - No, you take... - I have listened well, you said "lose." - I have said... - I misrepresented a verb! - You're a sorete! = Sorete, sorete, soretisimo. - We discussed later. - Sorete. Good morning! Good morning. Good morning! What a place! This sea comforts me. - Please, do you want to sit down? - No. I have nothing to offer you. Here everything is essential. - Does not matter. - I brought this to you. - For me? - Yes. Thank you. I hope it serves you. Shirts! Wonderful. They are beautiful!
Surely they will serve me. Thanks again. You are the commissary's wife, right? - I was waiting for your visit. - I am not his wife, I am his partner. I live in Genova, Except you never move from here... then I can hardly come. I was waiting for my visit? Let's say yes. A man as gentle as the Commissar... can only be with one person equally kind. Do you know what Rousseau said? "What wisdom can you find that is greater than gentleness?" "Respond the answering machine of 3..." "Answer the answering machine..." - Except! - But what have you done all this time? - I went to Camastra. - You could let me know! - This is no time to go home! - Excuse me. I shower. Where are we going to eat? Where are we going to eat? I do not know! Do you want us to invite Camastra? Talk so much, likes to talk. When I went to see him, he told me that he was waiting for his visit. - I did not even think to find it. "Then why did you go?" - Why I wanted to leave you one thing. - What thing? A pair of shirts that strangely appeared. - Did you find Adelina's shirts?
- You have chosen a hiding place! He is a cultured man, gentle, wanted to ask him why he lives like this. Do not do it, would be a terrible rudeness. He did not tell you spontaneously something about himself. No, nothing. He told me that six years ago he came here. It was fine and it worked. I also wanted to laugh, he looked like a tourist... that tells you why you have decided to settle in the Caribbean. He said that three months ago he discovered that place, in Punta Braccetto. I've invited him to lunch tomorrow. - And he? - He refused. You see? - Very kindly. - He is a gentle person. I would like to know more about him, I would like to help him. Why do you want to help him? Because I think he would want... He would like to be left in peace. Livia, you are curious like all women... Now you want to discover the secret of this man. But let it be! - Do you think it's just my curiosity? - Yes. Thank you. - Thank you. - Please. Do not you eat? Mimi, did you find anything from Barletta last night? Why did not you call me? I did not finish work last night, not this morning either.
Now we would like to rest a little, we started this afternoon. Why have not you finished? Because we find a penthouse filled with of a lot of old things. Hundreds of letters and documents, we started looking there. - I could not bring them here! - Have you found the will? No. Maybe it's in the documents that I have not seen. - Is there anything useful? - Barletta had so many activities. There is a mountain of contracts, of notarial deeds. - Something useful I have not yet found. - Letters from the girls? - No. - Notitas. - No. - Strange. - Why? - Stefania wrote so many! - Maybe I have not seen them yet! - Can I go to sleep? - Go! You are nervous. - Remember to set the alarm clock. - I salute you! Mrs. Pusateri, the commissary Montalbano soy. Good day. Good morning. I would like to know the name of the clerk... - to whom his father...
- It's called Piscopo. Look at the scribe there is no will. Not? - How do you know? - Arthur told me, he called him yesterday. Yesterday. Do you suppose your father did not make the will? Commissar, we can speak personally? - I should ask you a favor. - Clear. - When do you want to spend? - Commissioner, please can you come in? Okay, I go to his house at 16? At 16 no, could release me later. Later. - Thank you. - Bye. Goodbye. Come on! Mimi, are you here? I could not sleep, showered, and returned to Barletta's house. - Are they over? - Yes. - Have you found the will? - No Are you sure that there is a will? No, but Barletta told the children that he did. - What's inside? - The love correspondence of Barletta. - Letters and cards.
- Were they attic? = No, on the desktop. I thought there might be a hidden drawer. I have found two, in a one were these six letters. All of one woman, in the other all the rest. How do you know that those six letters are of a single woman, do you have the signature? No, but they are written by the same hand. - Have you read them? - Not yet. - Read them, these and the others. - It will take a little time. - Mimì! - Yes? The letters. - I'm a little tired. - I see. - Good morning. - Good day. Sit down. - Want... - Thank you. I do not want to talk about the will on the phone. - Yes, I understand perfectly. - Remember I told you... that there was a disagreement between Dad and Arturo by the will? Yes. The following Sunday Dad told me he had. - The will? - Yes. Was your brother present? No, but Dad said he would tell her a day later.
The will should be in the villa... - or even at his house in the village. - I think if. Arthur trembles because the seals are removed for looking for. We have not found it. Have they also searched the drawers on the desk of the house here? - There he had all his secrets. - Like the photos of the girls naked. - Do you have them now? - No, she has the PM. - Have you seen them? - Necessary. - And you? - I have looked at them in secret, once. It is not nice to know that the father himself does certain things. You when you called me told me that you wanted to ask me something. Yes, but I have to ask you a question. When did you register the house... - found a box and inside a ring? - I have not registered myself. Excuse me, I ask right away. "The deputy has done it, Dr. Augello. Mimì, I'm Saved. In the village did you find a box with a ring inside? Yes, I was in the bathroom above, behind a piece of furniture. We left it on the dresser, in the bedroom. - It is not. - Of course not! How is it possible? Help me. Please help.
Let me make a call, we solve it immediately. Call with mine. Mimì, I'm Saved. I looked for you in the office, but Catarella said... - The box where you put it? "I called you for that." I remembered that I put it in the drawer of the bedside table. On the bedside table. I did not want to leave her hanging around. - Okay, thank you. Bye! Can I see? - It is only a memory, it has no value. - I want to see it the same. Have. Would you like to have dinner with me one of these nights? How not. Livia! There you are! - Pork! - What do you say? - You are a pig. - What do you say? If you approach, call the police. - I am the police! - I call the carabineros. What happens? Look what happens. But... look, look. - Now I explain.
- Yes. - Do you let me talk? - No. - Let me speak. - Go wash your face. Do you let me talk? Please go wash your face. How the children! - Can I talk now? - You take my eyes. - Do you want me to explain? - I'm not interested. - Why did you cast me before? "You're a pig." Do you want to know the pork version? - Do you admit it? - Only to be listened to. Remember when I told you about the murder of Barletta? It is a very strange case about which I am still inquiring. We have discovered that he, rich man, was entertaining... Things were this way. Excuse me Mrs. Pasquano, good day. Could you talk to your husband? Good morning, at this time breakfast, you know. Yes, I know. But I must insist. "Come in, Commissar." Thanks... - One moment, commissary. - Yes. Dear, there is the commissary Montalbano, wants to talk to you. Tell him to fuck off!
You tell him. "Commissioner, please come in." Thank you. Here I am. While a gentleman is in his house... taking a small breakfast... You come to pulverize the balls! You are not a human being, is a robot ball crusher! - You must excuse me. - In fact I do not apologize. I curse him the most for eternity! "But what the fuck do you want?" Remember the paralyzing poison that I kill Barletta where is it? But what does it mean? What question is it? - Can you buy it at the pharmacy? - No. You find it in supermarkets. If you are looking for it... is also found at the fair, in the stands. Please! Not found in pharmacies. Used in very small doses for hospital use. If he calls curarina. - Did you understand? - Yes. - Are you sure? - Yes. - You can go get her... - Doctor! I thank you for your exquisite kindness. Be careful, with blood sugar is not joking. Excuse me. Pe... - Permission? "Commissioner, what a pleasure!" - Come, sit down.
- Get comfortable. - These are sent to Livia. - Thank you. I will read them with pleasure. Livia has told me that she was not well. How are you today? Best. The fever has gone down, is only a slight flu. It is better that this far, would not want to infect it. - Do you want me to take you to a doctor? "No, she would not tell me anything she does not know." - Do you need any medication? - No, thanks, I have aspirin. - He put it on. - The lady brought it to me. I like it very much. - The lady is gone? - Yes. Take care of her, there are few. Fazio, remember when I told you wanted to know everything about Barletta... - and his son Arturo? - Yes I remember. Of Barletta we know a great deal, but of his son Arthur not. True. - But yesterday I took care of him entirely. - All right. Arturo told us that he was married and had no children. His wife is called Michela Lollo, she seems to be a beautiful woman. Arturo did not want the woman to frequent his father. I was afraid that Barletta reach out. = No.
Barletta in Michela had already extended it! Did this happen when the woman of Barletta was alive? Yes. Hope that the best comes. After the wedding... Michela becomes very friendly of the sister-in-law, Giovanna... wearing designer clothes, jewelry, luxury car. Michela pretends from Arthur the money to be able to buy the same things. Arturo has a miserable salary. To please his wife he gets in debts and not just with the banks. - Addresses the lenders. "Exactly." Received serious threats because it did not comply with payments. Is there anything else? Yes, it's like the final bomb of fireworks. Explode it. Do you remember where Arturo worked as an accountant? In the construction company of Montelusa? - Yes, the Sicilian Spring. - All right. This company two weeks ago sent a letter... announcing cessation of the activity at the end of the month. It means that the workers and employees will send them to walk. Arturo finds himself without work and full of debts. Exactly. Of course, the only thing that could save Arthur was his father's will. That's why he went crazy wanted to know if the father had made a will. Good. Mr. superintendent, permission? - Montalbano! Please come. - Thank you. - Sit down.
- Thank you. Do you already have an idea about the crime of Barletta? In a way. - Dr. Tommaseo has one. - Yes? For you it is not important the opinion of the PM, right? How not! - For me it is invaluable. - If you do not know her, I'll explain her theory. According to him who killed Barletta was one of his young lovers... jealous of the other lover who then killed him... which in turn was jealous of the other that made her leave. - What's wrong? I'm concentrating on trying to understand. Yes, I will try to explain myself better. We call "A" the young woman who then to have slept with Barletta... the next morning gives him the poison because of jealousy. And we call "B" the other lover of which she is jealous. Is it clear now? - Could I write it on the board? - What blackboard? How do you not understand? "A" kills Barletta with poison because she is jealous of "B". "B" shoots Barletta because he is jealous of... Say it yourself. - Because she is jealous of... - I have to say...? Why are you jealous of... "C". But what "C"? Because he is jealous of "A"! "A"! As the girls involved will be aware in this matter are many.
But most are difficult to identify. While Dr. Tommaseo expounded his theory... Dr. Mazzacolla was present. Do you know him? I did not have the pleasure. - What did Mazzacolla say? - He did not say anything. But I have seen him very interested and according to the magistrate... Then I had an idea that I would like to raise. That is to say to divide the case Barletta in two parts. Trust the identification of the girls to Dr. Mazzacolla... under the directives of Dr. Tommaseo. And me? You will handle the other alternatives... taking into account the direction of the investigation. Who is it? Who? Who is the address of the investigation? Montalbano, what do not you understand? The direction of research the guideline, the guideline. The guide line! Now I understand. Considering that the priority is that of the girls. - Can I have an observation? - Please. I think of these girls only two are prostitutes. The others are sellers, students. I wonder what has to do with this Mazzancolla? Mazzacolla! It does not matter to him at all, Montalbano. Well, then let me tell you what I find on your part... a lack of respect for my ability of a rigorous official... - with this to want to remove a part.
- Montalbano... Mr. superintendent sorry I'm hurt. Let me say hurt and offended. With permission. Good day. In these six letters there are no elements... that make us understand the origin, no dates or a signature, are anonymous. In common they have the writing. There is a particular letter of these six... in which the woman does not speak for allusions. In any case they are alone and can not resist. From that encounter comes out a very serious consequence. She becomes pregnant. The following letter explains everything. It looks like Barletta wanted to convince her to abort... but she wants the baby to be born and it is understood that she won. But there is a part in that letter in which the woman... wants to convince Barletta to have the son or daughter... I still have it in my head. She says that the man who lives with her or all others... will never come to think that the father is Barletta. Relations between them continued? They had ups and downs. It is understood that they wanted to cut, but they can not. Mimì, now I read them and tomorrow we will talk. It's okay. Hello? I am Mazzacolla, as you will know the superintendent has entrusted me... a part of the research of Barletta. - Yes, of course. A good part, you will be satisfied. I apologize for the door, it escaped me! - Catarella, what happens? Sorry. - Mrs. Pusateri arrived. Bring it in.
- Mazzacolla, I was saying? - I would like to come and see you... to exchange information. In 20 minutes I'll be there. No, no, in 20 minutes no. Sorry, I'm busy in an interrogation. Then we do it later. No, the interrogation will be all night. Mazzacolla, enjoy your part, much joy and happiness. - Chau! - Bye. Do you intend to question me all night? - If that will be the case... - Will I be in the third grade? If necessary. He chose a splendid place. Live alone? Sometimes she comes to see me my partner. - Not from here? "No, it's from Genova." If it's not late for the restaurant, _ does your house show me? With pleasure. - Come on. At what point are they in the research? Whenever the secret of instruction does not prevent you from telling me. We made small steps for exclusions. - What does it mean for exclusions? - You know your father lent money... at a high interest rate. I know that I often worked as a usurer. It is not necessary to turn with words with me. Good. We are now able to exclude that the culprit... is one of the people that ruined.
- If the reason for the interest is removed... - No. I did not say that. The culprit should be sought in a smaller investigation. - Including relatives? - Not only. I think about the girls that his father frequented... with which he was very generous. Then it is necessary to find the will. - Are you sure you did? - He said he did. I'm sure it's like this. Did you seek him well? Has not appeared. We have found only notes, letters from your lovers... that will be difficult to identify because the letters are not signed. Have not identified at least one of the photos? We have identified two, three girls. I see you are a little behind. Do you want my personal contribution in the research? Thank you. I can not have removed the will. When Arturo called me at 7.30 to tell me that dad... Did not he call her at 8? - No, at 7 o'clock... - Are you sure? - I know I'm more than sure. I was at home with my children, I had just woken them up. So I could not be in the village before than Arthur to remove the will. I already told you the subtraction of the will to me would only be a damage. We also finished the wine. - Let's go?
- Come on. - Please, sit down. - Permission? Come on, I'll show you the most beautiful part of the house. It is splendid. - Can I offer you something to drink? - No thanks. I've had enough, and I should drive. Do you have an ashtray? - Are you nervous? - Smoke, even when I'm happy. Me too at night, when I was at dad's house... spent at least an hour looking at the sea before going to bed. Excuse me, but I must go. I am tired. - I accompany you. - Thank you. "Little more than two months have passed..." since that afternoon in which... after circumstances lucky or not... have allowed us to meet again in a strong hug... that excluded the world that surrounded us. " " Our bodies were recognized and merged... with a kind of inevitable vibration. " "This last encounter perhaps by the long separation... has been marvelously more intense." "I let go of your embrace with a new feeling... I did not understand reason." "It was a mixture of happiness and fear." "Fear after a month found its explanation." "I'm pregnant, I did the test." "I carry within me a creature of yours and you do not know how happy I am." "With him who is not even a man I already know how to behave." "Tonight I will grit my teeth and yield to his insistence." Fazio, have you checked the report? - Yes. It says that Arturo has said that he arrived at the house at 8 o'clock.
Last night Giovanna told me that Arturo called from the villa at 7:30. We do not know how long time before it was... in the villa, but safe after 6. - Why? - Pasquano found that death... by poisoning was around six. If things are as I say, Arturo has not poisoned his father. But he shot her thinking he was still alive. Exactly. Do we quote it? And we asked him if he shot his father? No. What is your wife's name? - Michela Lollo. - Look for it. Today at 6 o'clock you take me to my house, I do not want the husband to know anything. Mimì, try to find out at what time on Sunday Arturo... - has left his house. - It was very early. It will be difficult to find someone who has seen it. I know. It's okay. When did you hear about your father-in-law's murder? It was not 8. - And her husband when he left? - I do not know. Slept Tell me about your past relationship with Cosimo Barletta. I am not... I have never had any relationship with Cosimo Barletta. - We have the photos. - What pictures? The photos of you and Barletta while...
Did not you know that you had that beautiful habit? If you want, I can send Inspector Fazio to look for them. I do not want to see them. Sit down. - How long did your relationship last? - Four months. My husband Arturo still did not know him. - Arturo when he fell in love with you? - Immediately. He arrived at the villa without warning, I was leaving. Did not Barletta make history when Arthur said he wanted to marry you? No. He had already tired of me. Were you tired of it? I did not feel anything for him, wanted my body and gave it to him. To what I wanted and then paid me. I was embarrassed, but I liked to have money to spend. Madam, let us move on to more recent things. When did your father-in-law start again? - How did you know? - Answer. - No. Please, curator. Madam, if you do not tell me how things are , I must accuse you of murder. It was in the village. Everyone had gone to the beach. I was looking at you. - You have made me come. - Go away. Go away!
Everyone is out there. Leave me, monster! - If Arturo knows, it breaks your face. "Arturo?" How have you done to get married with the useless one of my son? - No! - I know, you like. Are you crazy? Give me the knife. - Give it to me! - There is nothing worse than a whore... who does not understand that he is just a whore. Take it. Did not your husband defend her in any way? Arturo accompanied me to the room, was very excited. He confessed that he had been looking at us in the kitchen for a few minutes. I do not think I would have done something if I did not resist. I would let it go, I would never have opposed his father. Does Arturo love her? If you love me? Arthur! Explain yourself better, madam. To my father-in-law I had not seen him for years... since that time in the village. Now my husband's cuckold... intended to return with his father at least once. I wanted to resume the relationship with him? - When? - Three days before they killed that pig. - And why? - He insisted. I said, "Then we'll be better." "If you're..." My father changes the will... that is all in favor of Giovanna. What does it cost you?
But I refused. I just felt like vomiting if I thought about that damn pig. Opposite the house of Arturo Barletta there is a warehouse. The owner is called Varbaro, on Sunday was open for inventory. Varbaro came near at 6 o'clock in the morning. Arturo's car was in front of the house. Five minutes later she went out to smoke a cigarette and the car was gone. Then Arturo has left of his house from 6 to 6... Yes. From Montalusa to the house it takes half an hour. But Arturo can say he has had a breakdown in the car... - and stopped somewhere. - I have another testimony. Shoot. Half a kilometer from the house of Barletta there is another village. The owner is called Modica. That morning while going to the garden was surpassed by Arturo. I was about to leave the road. The wife when he braked, he hit his head on the glass. - And they went back to the house. - Do you remember what time it was? 6:35, 6:40. He medicated her and then went to Barletta to talk to the son. When he arrived, Arturo left the village and shouted to him... "Go away, you have shot my father!" He scared got into the car left. I think someone who finds the murdered father... asks the first help that finds... do not throw it. Arturo did not want anyone in the balls... - because he had to find the will. Do not? - Clear.
Come on! Permission? Excuse me but it would not be better to put outside the door a sign written... "This office is forbidden to minors of 18 years". You're right. I made them expand, so the details look better. Have you identified any? Four, until now. - Have they been questioned? - If much. I have entered its depth, in the most intimate folds. - Have you achieved anything? - These are girls who lie easily. - The last one I've been... - The last one? Have you found out who was Barletta's last girlfriend? Yes, this one. Look. He has a solid alibi. How long have you been with him? - Two months. He declared that he was madly in love with her. He also said, maybe another lie... that Barletta had promised give him all his patrimony... and I would show you the papers the following Monday... but on Sunday they killed him. What an absurd ball! True. - What is the girl's name? - Alina Camera. - And you tell me? - We have suspicions. You only suspect about the son of Barletta, Arturo.
Really? Why would he kill his father? - He stalked the woman. - I can not believe it! I did not spare any, wanted also with the daughter-in-law! Exactly. Respect for sex, man is unfathomable! - Do you want to question the daughter-in-law? "No, you do it." - I have a lot to do. "I salute you, Judge." - Goodbye. - Bye. Yes? Commissioner, Alina Camera has arrived. Call Dr. Augello, tell him to come, then bring her in. Come. Good morning, I am the commissary Montalbano. - My deputy, Dr. Augello. - Good day. - Good morning. - Sit down. - I will entertain you for a short time. - It's okay. You do not work, right? No, I study Modern Literature in Palermo. - Do you live alone? - Yes. - Your parents? - They are here in Vigata. - And the house where you live? - It's mine.
Your parents bought it. No, they barely have money to make ends meet! Then? I bought it two months ago Cosimo Barletta. Was she your lover already? No, I bought it to convince myself to be. And I accepted the day when he gave me the keys. Is it true that Barletta was in love with you? Yes, maybe because unlike of the others... I waited three months before... Your letters prove everything. Did you write letters? - Yes, about ten. An old man who writes love letters as a boy. Also with grammatical errors. When did he tell her that he would have left everything? The second time he came to see me I told him I did not want to see him any more. Two times with him were enough. Could also keep the house. She started to cry, wrote me a desperate letter... and I returned it with the condition to pay me the studies. That day she poured a quantity of money in my favor... so I could be quiet until graduation. I want to study, but my parents can not keep me... so, or he or another... Since that time loves me almost every day. - When did you last see it? - Thursday. He told me that he wanted to make a will in my favor. I would have inherited everything with the condition... I stayed with him until the day of his death. Specified that it was a document to do with a notary. And that would make me read on Monday.
But on Sunday they killed him. So... We're done, miss, thank you. Fazio, accompany the young lady. Bye. - Bye. Can I tell you something? - This young girl scared me. - Also to me. Do not have a motive, do not win anything with the death Barletta. I understand why Barletta had fallen in love with her. Why? - It is identical to it. - Its what I thought. Alina has told us two very important things. The first is that Arthur knew that his father wanted to change the will. And the second? Now we know what thing wanted to prevent Barletta from doing... that Sunday morning, change the will. An official will, made by a notary. Notary public, the commissioner Montalbano. Please, come in. - Thank you. "Commissioner, good day." - Thank you for receiving me. - Please. - I will make you lose little time. - Sit down. - Thank you. - Did you know Cosimo Barletta? - Yes. I know I should have found it on Sunday... so you are involved in the investigation.
Because he knows he can not oppose professional secrecy. - Okay. - All right. Did Cosimo Barletta tell you that he had intention to change his will? - Yes. - In favor of a person alien to the family. Yes, a very young girl, is called Alina Camera. - Would the children have been excluded? - In your intention, yes. Maybe she would have left a small part to Giovanna. Obviously it's not about a will anymore... because a will can not exclude the legitimate heirs. I proposed to Cosimo to make a donation in life of all his goods to Alina... linking her to the fact that she should assist him to death. It is a somewhat complex document to elaborate, but he replied yes. And she invited me to her villa on Sunday to do the papers. - Should Arturo have participated? - No. Why would you participate in a document that disinherited it? No. Cosimo pointed out that it would be the two of us alone. - When did you know that Barletta was killed? - Sunday at 8:30. My name was Giovanna, I was ready to go see him. Tell me, Except. Mimì, tomorrow morning you and Fazio go get Arthur... and they interrogate it very well. - Do not you want to question him? - It is not necessary. Remember the facts, the two witnesses... what the woman told us and the scribe Piscopo. Then tell Fazio to investigate the friends of Barletta... - of those who frequented his house. - Why, what do they have to do?
Mimì, in due time. "Now I must leave you." Bye! Hello! Welcome. - Have you had a good trip? - Yes. Livia! Do you read this letter? - What is it? - I'll tell you later. "You're stubborn." "You do not give up until when all are adapted to your will... but this time you can not make me change my mind." "I will not abort we will be forever united by this creature... something more than the secret that from years we guard in our hearts." "We that terrible day made a choice like a ray... without we had said a word in unison... letting things go their course." "But now you do not agree with me, I'm sore... I have decided, I choose alone for myself and for you." What do you think? Talk about a secret, something they have done together... does not say what. It is understood that it must be something very serious. Whose is it? They are letters that we have found in the house of Barletta. All are written by the same woman. She is very in love. An absolute, total love. But there is something... There is something I do not understand. - What thing? - I do not know. Here it is. Were you saying? - When Arthur has seen us... She began to tremble like a leaf and wanted the lawyer.
I let him call and then we arrested him and taken to Tommaseo... to which we have given the elements useful to make an interrogation. - I think in 5 minutes Arturo collapses. - All right. Sugar? No, thank you. Is Fazio looking for news about Barletta's friends? Yes, it is working. Do you tell me what your friends are good for? For that letter of that special lover. I have read them too, but there is no reference to friends. That letter tells us three things. The first is a risky relationship, which they must hide. The second is a relationship that lasts a long time. The third that Barletta knew this woman since she was a girl. In fact in a moment she tells when they have gone out together. - He took her to the circus, she was a girl. - So? I am persuaded that this woman could be... the daughter of a friend of long time ago, of Barletta. - Could be. - The motive is jealousy. This woman loves Barletta... even though he has occasional adventures. But this time it's different because Barletta is really in love with Alina. Then she is desperate, begs to be together for at least one last night. He accepts and she understands that he really has lost it. And what does it do? Take a poison they use in hospitals. It is called curanine, is a poison that leaves no trace. And poisons it. If it had not been for the "firing" of Arturo... we this death we would have filed as due to natural causes. - True.
Now what do you want to do? "I want to talk to Giovanna." Maybe she and this woman were playmates when they were girls. - Is not it okay? - I finished it. - Take another. - This is your home! - Enough. - Good morning. - Good day. - How is it? - How do you want this? My father killed by my brother. It's been a horrible day, the journalists, the phone. - Now I too. - You are something else. We find these letters in a secret drawer of his father's desk. I want you to read them and help us understand. Sit down. This looks like the only woman who has ever loved dad. - Do you know who it can be? - I do not know. In one of these letters this woman says that her father took her to the circus. I thought it might be an old friend of when I was a child. Now that I think about it... When I was four, my father took me to the circus. There was a girl with me who was about the same age. Only I do not... Strive to remember, is very important. - It could be who poisoned his father. - You believe?
Could. Maybe she is the daughter of a friend of his father, a friend of long ago. Give the names. Papa's close friends were the scrivener Piscopo... the lawyer Di Stefano and the engineer Lamantia. Only Piscopo never married and Di Stefano has two sons. Lamantia if you have a daughter woman whose name is Anna. She is about my age, could be she who was in the circus. Can I have the cards? I study them a little and maybe I can remember something. - Sure, but... - I'll give them back. It's okay. = Fazio, have you investigated about Barletta's friends? They are called Piscopo, Di Stefano, Fallace and Lamantia. - Lamantia interests me. - I started with him. He has a daughter named Anna. - Could be the woman we are looking for. - Yes, her name is Anna. - Good. No, not bad. She's been sick, in the hospital for a month. Fair! Come on! - We have done lottery. - That is to say? Arturo Barletta confessed, has been as you said. Arturo learned of the appointment with the notary revolving the father's desk. That Sunday morning about 6:45 arrived at the villa. He saw the father sitting at the table in the kitchen and shot him.
Then he started looking for the will, but he did not find it. That is all. He said he buried the revolver not far from the villa. I have sent Spada and Caruso to look for it. Now we must find to whom it has poisoned. I returned to Camastra, is better. I like it. The other day when we talked... I felt competent regarding medicines, health. You will have a pharmaceutical lover! - I'll make the coffee. - Yes. - Do we take it on the terrace? - Yes. - Fazio. - Doctor. Remember if among the friends of Barletta... there is one that for work has to do with pharmacies, hospitals, doctors. Yes, there is one has to see with medications. It's Santo Fallace, it has a small pharmaceutical industry. Fallace? - Pharmaceutical industry. Are you sure? "Yes, Commissioner." - Why? - I asked you this morning... Giovanna Barletta to give me the names of the... of his father's friends and that is the only one that did not give me. Does not that seem odd to you? Call Fallace and call the three at the police station. - Okay, I call it. - Bye. Commissar!
Is anyone there? Commissar! Good morning! Livia told me that he is better. Good morning. I have come to salute them and tell you one thing. - I'm leaving here. - Why? - You will understand yourself. This is the case of which is occupied, the murder of Barletta. Because of the flu I had in these days, I always stayed in my shelter. I did not know anything. Last night I read it in a newspaper that brought me... And I remembered one thing very important. I offer you a coffee. Come on, Livia is doing it. - Thank you. Years ago to sleep... I had found a place not far from Contrada Tosacane. That morning I went swimming... near the village of Barletta. I will never forget it, commissary. I will never forget it. The same day I went, elsewhere. Why? I did not want to be involved in this story. The newspapers wrote that it had been a disgrace. But it is not true, it was a suicide. They could have prevented it, but they did not. Sorry, but now I have to go. Commissioner, thanks for everything, was very kind to me.
- Thanks. - It was a pleasure. - I accompany you. - Thank you. - Excuse me, may I ask you a question? - Clear. Why did you leave everything? I have made a tragic mistake. I have killed a child in the operating room. I was acquitted for justice, but I knew I was guilty. I was distracted, too many personal problems. Goodbye. - Commissioner, Mr. Fallace. - Get him in. - Commissar! - I am Commissioner Montalbano. - My deputy, Dr. Augello. - Pleasure. - Sit down. Mr. Fallace, you have a pharmaceutical industry , right? Yes, in Montelusa. Do you know that your friend Barletta was killed... with a paralyzing poison that they use only in hospitals? Yes unfortunately, with curanina. Yes, curanina. Does your industry produce it? Yes, in small amounts. Do you know the lady Giovanna Pusateri? Yes, I am a friend of the father, I have known her for a long time. I say, do you know her more intimately? - I do not understand the type of question.
- You answer and you're done. Yes, we had a relationship. - When? - A month ago. I understand. By chance, Mrs. Pusateri has asked for some medication... without the prescription? Mrs. Giovanna has a son who suffers from epileptic seizures. - He asked me to give him... - A bottle of curanina. Yes, commissary, but I explained that it was dangerous. - The curanine should be diluted. "You're not supposed to tell me these things." You will tell the judge, I advise you to find a good lawyer. Why? Should I explain? You can go. Do it! But... then curator... It was Giovanna. But what do you mean? That she and the father were... Yes, Mimì, she and the father were... She killed him out of jealousy. For jealousy. Curanina, the same poison that he has used for the father. So it was Giovanna who killed the father... to prevent him from leaving everything to his new lover. It was so. What a family! A brother and a sister who kill the father... - for a sordid question of interests. - Yes.
- Goodbye. "Bye, Commissioner. "After the call of Fallace I had no other choice, Commissar." "You had understood everything." "Sorry to have to destroy the cards." "Please do your best." "I did everything I did, be clear, to have all the inheritance for me." "Thanks." So it's not true what you told the PM? Giovanna killed for love. Did I do my best? I do not know. He had accepted Giovanna's last request. I had written that note to protect your children... and in particular the last child. "Yes, Giovanna had killed for love. I find it hard to use these words but if you succeed... overcome the horror and you reach the substance... Maybe you can talk about love. A monstrous love, inconceivable, degenerate... but still forever a form of love. A love born and raised in that nest of vipers. ♪ "L" is for the way you look at me ♪ ♪ "o" is for the only one i see ♪ ♪ "v" is very, very extraordinary ♪ ♪ "e" is even more than anyone that you adore can ♪ ♪ love is all that I can give to you ♪ ♪ love is more than just a game for two ♪ ♪ two in love can make it ♪ take my heart and please don't break it ♪ ♪ love was made for me and you ♪ "L" is for the way you look at me ♪ ♪ "o" is for the only one... ♪ I don't wanna go back to New York. It's gone by too fast.
Maybe I don't. Maybe I stay here and paint. No, no, no, we have a plan, remember? It just feels like goodbye. No, no goodbyes. Look, it'll just be a few months. You have to finish school. I have to finish work. Have you told your father you're quitting? I will. Hey, we'll be back together by Valentine's day. Top of the empire state building? Doesn't sound quite as romantic as the top of the Eiffel Tower, but it will have to do. We'll lock it on the bridge, and our love will last forever. Forever? Forever. Okay. With this lock, I thee... Whoa! You did that on purpose. No, no, no, that was your fault. You-you grabbed for it. Thank you. Good morning, Maggie. Morning, Lindsey. First cup of coffee? Third. How are we doing with the Valentine issue? You just need to pick a cover. Not the cupid.
The last thing i want to think about is a chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. Hmm, such a romantic. Not that one. Speaking of which, Trent greer's in your office. What? Sorry, he's a really hard guy to say no to. What's he doing here? Who cares? He's gorgeous. Now, do something with your hair. What's wrong with my hair? You could try wearing it down sometimes. Don't you have something to do? Trent... Hey... What a surprise. Oh, yeah? Good or bad? Good. Good... Good. Good... Um, actually, I wanted to catch you before you left, because your assistant said that you're going to Paris tomorrow with your daughter. Oh, did she tell you what I had for breakfast as well? French toast? God, I can't believe you're old enough to have a daughter old enough to be in college. I am also old enough to know when I'm being buttered up. All right. Okay, here it is.
I really want to take you out. Oh. Yeah, and I want to buy your magazine. Oh. Okay, now, was that a "yes/yes," a "yes/no," or a "no/yes"? Yes. And no. I-i don't know... Let me tell you this, Lindsey, you've done an incredible job with pov. It is-it is a unique magazine, you've done it yourself, on a limited budget... Thank you? The problem is, the readership's maxed out, and it does not have to be like that, and I can help you take it to the next level. You want to buy me out. I want you to stay on to consult. So I'd be working for you. With me. You know, Trent, the thing is, I've kind of become used to being my own boss. I do get that. Believe me. When I opened my first publishing house, the last thing on my mind was selling it, but I did. I did, and I built something bigger and better than I ever imagined. So, do me a favor. While you're traveling, just think about it. And the other "it," too. I will. And I will. Great. And, one other thing, um, I'm actually going to be in London next week, and it's a short flight to Paris.
I'd love the chance to show you our Paris office. Wow, you must really want my magazine. Oh, yeah, that too. Tell me he's not the best-looking guy you've ever seen. Looks have nothing to do with it. What's wrong? He wants to buy the magazine. Seriously? What did you say? I wanted to say "no," but somehow I didn't? Hmm, I'm pretty sure he has that effect on everyone. Would it be so bad to sell? I'm saying goodbye to my daughter, I don't want to say goodbye to my business, too. I know, it's just... He's just so gorgeous. Maggie, that's all you can think about. Let's finish up this layout. That's great. Really great. You packed yet? Tonight. Throw in something sexy. Why? You're going to Paris, girl, not New Jersey. All right. This looks good, except move the gaucher to the center, and increase it to 5x7. Oh, and also, increase the opacity so we're seeing the titles. Yeah, like that. Hi, mom!
'Lex? You're early! Yeah, I caught a ride with a guy from school! What guy? Uh, some guy who's name I found on the ride board in my dorm. You drove all the way from Connecticut with a total stranger? And two other friends. So the three of you drove from Connecticut with a total stranger. Mom, you are helicoptering again. You're right. Engine's off. Hey! I remember that. It used to be in the hallway. Yeah, we have better taste now. No, we don't. You should put it up again. It's too big. You were so good. Why did you stop? Hmm, I guess my fine arts degree taught me the fine art of unemployment. Maybe you'll start again. No, it's your turn, kiddo. You hungry? Pasta? Alfredo sauce? Extra cheese! I can't wait for you to meet Hugo. Me either. He is the best teacher.
But he's a little bit of a meddler, so don't tell him too much about your social life. Not that you'll have one, because you'll be too busy studying. Uh-huh, right... Ten letter word for "soulmate"? "Delusional?" You're terrible. Or realistic. Why should there be only one person for everyone? But what if there is? Honey, remember when I had to tell you there was no tooth fairy? Well, brace yourself. Okay, just because you were right about the tooth fairy doesn't mean you're right about this. It's dad. See? Proof positive. Hi, dad. Yes, I'll be careful. Yes, I have my passport. Okay, um... say hi to Jane. Okay, love you, too. Yeah, bye. Who's Jane? Um... Dad and Marcie separated, so it looks like he's heading for number three. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. And you shouldn't refer to your dad's wives as numbers. At least you're still number one. Yay. You know what i look forward to? The day that I get to tell dad that you are seeing someone else.
I'm more concerned with work, you know that. Yes, that's what you always say. Actually, someone wants to buy pov. Actually, not just someone. Trent greer. The publishing guy? Yeah. That's great. It would be, if I was selling. Would that be such a bad thing? It's what I do every day. It's... who I am. Why would I sell my life? What life? You work all the time, and... I mean, i love the magazine, but... It's kind of the only relationship you have. I have you. Okay... When's the last time you went out? And not for something business-y. Not that long ago. I don't think. Can you believe you're about to go to Paris for three months? Mm-hmm, nice pivot. Helicopters pivot, right? And I can't wait. Done! Place de la concorde! Wait till you see it with all the lights.
Mom, look, it's the Eiffel Tower! We have to go. We will. Have you ever been to the top? Just once. I can't believe you never came back. Well, I am now. Bienvenue a Pierre du calvet. Thank you. Wow. I guess this is us. It's so us! It's perfect! Of course it is, Hugo picked it. I like him already. Welcome to Paris. Merci. I mean, really? Already? We just landed. Bonjour. Bonjour. Bienvenue a l'hotel Pierre du calvet. Merci, quel bel hotel. Merci. Nous avons une reservation au nom de Wilson, s'il vous plait? Impressive. Why is your French better than mine? Maybe because you stopped in the 12th grade? Not to worry.
Our staff speaks English. Yes. Your friend, monsieur Hugo, had you upgraded to a suite. How nice. Thank you. Unfortunately, it won't be ready for a few hours. Oh, we don't need a room, we're in Paris! Pas de probleme. Hey, where to first? Arc de triomphe, place de la concorde... The louvre? Or we could save the louvre for our last day together? Ah! Can you please not use the phrase "last day together"? You're not allowed to be sad yet. We have almost a week left. Four days. 96 hours and counting. Yeah, we can do a lot in four days. We should go to the "love locks" bridge. It's supposed to be so romantic. It's just a bridge. With locks. Yeah, but those locks are people pledging their love for each other. Yeah, and how many of those people are still together today? All of them, in some way. You're such a romantic. Yeah, well, everyone's supposed to fall in love in Paris, right? Yeah.
Until they go back to their real lives. C'est ouvert! Bonjour, Ricardo! Put the paint anywhere, just don't make a mess like the last... Charming as ever. - Hugo... - Lindsey... Mon coeur. Alexa! My new protegee. Oh, "protegee". Now I can only disappoint you. Oh, well, you'll only disappoint me if you stop painting, like your mother. I just took a little time off, that's all. What, 20 years? I painted my apartment. Navajo white, ecru trim. Oh, ecru, ecru... You have learned nothing from me, huh? It's livable, and neutral. Neutral? Neutral is the color of the canvas before you put on the paint. I couldn't agree more. And thank you for recommending me to the program. Oh, well, i promise you you will love the university, and my class will be your favorite. And until you move into the dorms, I hope that the hotel accommodations are good? We love it. And thank you for the upgrade. Who did you bribe?
Well, I am a friend of the manager. Same old Hugo. You know half of Paris. Well, how else shall I sell my work? Wow. Is it possible you've gotten better? Well, I'm like a fine wine. This is amazing! Here, come, I'll show you. How about this one? The love locks bridge. It's beautiful. Why isn't it finished? Well, ask your mother. This is yours? I can't believe you kept it. Well, this could be your best work, if you finished. Some things are better off left unfinished. Well, maybe you'll finish it while you're here. Don't count on it. We'll see. So, you're staying for my show? We wouldn't miss it. Whoa... I'm never going to be able to go to a dorm after this. I'm never going to be able to go back to anything after this. I think I'm already in love! What? 'Lex? 'Lex?
Alexa? I've always wanted to visit New York. I've always wanted to come here. How long you are staying? For a semester, at the sorbonne. I'm there, too. Third year. Oh, what are you studying? Mathematics. You? Art. I love art. I love math. Really? Uh... I mean, I could. I could love math. I have a day off tomorrow. Maybe I could show you around? Oh, I'd love that, but I'm going to be with my mom. She's going through this whole empty nest thing. Empty nest? You mean, um... Comme un oiseau? Uh, like a-a bird? Um, it's more like a... Like a raptor guarding an egg. I'm not sure I understand. Me neither, but... I love her.
- Excuse me. - Yes? I seem to have lost my daughter. Oh, my. Well, how old is the child? Actually... 18. Ah, well, not lost then, just being 18. That's what I'm afraid of. I did see a young woman heading out to the courtyard with Jean Paul. Jean Paul? Bellhop? Yes, yes, i think he does a little of everything around here. He's a lovely young man. - Thank you. - Mm-hmm. Alexa? Hi, mom! This is Jean Paul. Madame, you need not to worry about your nest. My what? Uh... Enjoy your evening. Aw, you scared him away. Please, if he scares that easily, he's not for you. And you know that how? Because, sweetie, he lives in Paris, and chances are, if you start something now, it'll end in three months. End? It hasn't begun. I know you think I'm just your mom, but I was you once.
And what happens if you fall in love with Jean Paul? - I just met him. - Exactly. The semester will be over, you'll go home, you'll never see him again, and Paris will be ruined for you, and all this excitement you're feeling right now, it'll all be ruined, too, because everything will remind you of him. Okay, look, I don't know what's going on with you right now, maybe it's the jet lag. Um, I'm going to go get ready for dinner, and you should go to the bar, get yourself a nice glass of wine, and remind yourself that... I'm an adult. Excuse me, I'll have a glass of white wine, please? Uh, yeah, we actually have a very nice... Lindsey? Jack? What are you doing here? I'm... pouring you a drink. You're the bartender? Actually... I own the place. Hugo didn't mention this was your hotel. Yeah, I guess that's why he just called me out of the blue. I didn't recognize your last name. It's my married name. Oh, congratulations. We're divorced. Condolences. Thank you, and thank you. So, what are you doing here? Dropping my daughter off at school. You have a daughter.
Alexa. She's studying art. Wow. Like mother, like daughter. You have kids? Oh, no, no, no. Um, it's just me and the hotel. It's a nice place. Yeah. Yeah, it, uh, it's been a little while. Going on 10 years. You cut your hair. That's been going on about 20 years. You... You look... Older? Uh, I was going to say beautiful. Oh. Thank you. Oh, my goodness, you look just like your mother. Alexa, this is Jack. He's, um... I'm an old friend. Nice to meet you. Funny that you never mentioned him. I'm sure I did. No. You didn't. Well, it was a long, long time ago. Well, yeah, but it feels like it was yesterday.
Well, it's late. Actually, it's 8:00. Uh, it's late in New York. Well, uh, it's earlier in New York... Great seeing you! All right, well, you'll be seeing a lot more of me, since if you want extra towels, I'm your guy! We have to move hotels. Why? I like this hotel. You'll adjust. No, I just unpacked. We're not moving hotels. So re-pack. Who is he? Just... Someone I used to know from the sorbonne. He was finishing up his degree, his father was in the hotel business here. And...? And... nothing. I went back to college, he said he would follow me, and he didn't. And that's it? We called, we wrote. Time passed, life happened. I met your dad, and you know the rest. You were in love. Mom, this is fate! No, this is Hugo, meddling, like the old days. The love locks! Wow, there are so many now. Ah!
All that love! It's beautiful. They're all rusted. Which means they lasted. Ah, the sound of texting in the morning. You're awake. And you're smiling, which means it must be a boy. It's jp. Oh, "jp." Yesterday, it was "Jean Paul." That was yesterday. Would it be okay if he took me to the university to register for classes? Oh. I thought I was going to do that. It's just, he's registering, too, and he can show me around. - I'll tell him no. - Wait, wait, wait. Tell him yes. You sure? Yeah, you should go meet some other students. I love you, mom. I love you, too, Lex. Have fun. Au revoir! Merci. Hey! Just saw Alexa ride off on the back of jp's scooter. They looked like they were having fun... Jack! Oh, calm down, he's a great driver.
Like you were? You're talking about that one wrong turn I made? Up that one-way street? Yeah, we went... one way, and the traffic was all going the other way. Here, I brought you your crossword. Oh. Quite the host. Yeah, that I am. You mind if I join you? Thank you. Hey, so, uh, what are you painting these days? My nails? I'm not really painting anymore. What? Why? That's terrible. I have an art magazine. It's only in New York, but we have a nice little following. Oh. Well, that's great. Yeah, thanks. It's not what I planned, but it's worked out well. Yeah, well, life is what happens when you're making plans. We both know that. How's your father? He's good. He, uh, he took over a hotel in nice. With my niece. Nice. Niece.
Listen, i-i... I just wanted to say I'm sorry about, uh... About everything... It's okay... No listen, i-i just want to say, you know my father wanted me to stay behind, help run the business. I was going to come and visit, but then, you know, a lot of time had passed, and... Seriously, it's okay. I don't even know what we were thinking. Well, we weren't thinking, we were in love. We were young. Actually, I think the problem was you knocking that lock out of my hands. Oh! Oh, as I recall, your hands were a little shaky. Yeah, well, it was freezing outside. It's okay, we didn't really believe in that lock stuff anyway. Actually, they cut off all the locks off of our bridge. What? Yeah, in fact, they cut the locks off of all the Bridges all over Paris. I just saw them last night. Except for Pont Neuf. You know, those Bridges date back to Napoleon, and all the weight from all the locks on all the railings were causing them to collapse, and it was becoming a hazard. Huh. The hazard of love. Pont Neuf is the last one, and then all of Paris will be love-lock-less. Oh, Mrs. daltry. I don't know if you've met Lindsey. Not officially. I'm Kathryn. Kathryn, so nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, Lindsey.
I didn't realize you two were together. Oh, we're not. Well, we were... We're not. I see. Well, I won't keep you two. Enjoy your day. Oh, no, no, no, please, uh, Mrs. daltry, I actually, uh, I have to go back to work. Thank you for the crossword. Not a problem. And... 2 down is "artichoke." Please, Kathryn, join me. Thank you. Jack's turned this into such a charming place over the years. When my husband and i first stayed here... Merci. It was just a hole in the wall. Oh, when was that? Our honeymoon, 40 years ago. Whoa. Are you back to celebrate? No. He died. Oh. I'm so sorry. It's been two years now. We would come here every anniversary. This is my first time back since.
I thought if I could just, I don't know, see everything again, I could hold on to the memories. That sounds silly, i know. It doesn't sound silly at all. It sounds like you had a wonderful marriage. We did. You know, I'm visiting a friend today, who has an art studio. Sort of an artist/meddler. Would you care to join? Well, I wouldn't want to intrude... Oh, trust me, he is "un-intrudable." Sounds intriguing. I'd love to. I love it already! Come on, I'll show you the dorms. You're in the best one. Okay. The art department is over there. And the math department? Just across the way. We can wave to each other through the windows! So your mother went here? Yeah, a semester abroad, just like me, but I cannot believe she never came back! Well, she's here now, though. Yeah, she is. Come on. Lindsey! Mon coeur. Hugo blanchett, this is Kathryn daltry.
Kathryn, this is Hugo. Ah, mon plaisir, madame. How do you do? Your work is incredible. Oh, well, thank you, thank you. Half the people who come here think the opposite. Well, it's the other half you should listen to. Well, I wish you were an art critic. You're not, huh? No, just a tourist. Oh, I doubt that. How you like your hotel? Uh, you could have mentioned it's Jack's. What would be the fun in that? Oh, you never change. I hear he's single. Stay out of it, Hugo. Madame, how long are you in town? Just a few days. Ah, yes... Enough for me to paint you. Well, no... I couldn't... Oh... Give me one reason. Well, I'm sure I could give you several. Hugo, maybe another time... Ah, ah, ah! How many times I told you, seize the moment. The moment is now, carpe diem...
Ah? It would be... An honor. Just a quick sketch, hmm? S'il vous plait? Well, I suppose that would be all right. Yes. Lindsey, go gesso the canvas, please? Oh, I haven't done that in... In 20 years, I know. She was my best student. He's prone to exaggeration... Well, we'll never know, 'cause you quit! If you've forgotten, it's the brush, the paint, it's all coming back to you now? Yes, maestro. Now... You have a sadness in your eyes. And a joy. I'll try to catch both. Hmm? Coming! Wow. These are for you. Thank you. You shouldn't have. I didn't. They're from... "Trent greer"? Thank you. I thought you were allergic to roses. Not anymore.
Are you... Waiting for a tip? No. Nope, I'm good. Okay. Well then, thank you. Yeah, don't mention it! Ah, Lindsey, i was hoping to see you. Won't you join me? How was your sitting with Hugo? He's very opinionated. He is. And demanding. That too. He wouldn't show me the sketch. And he won't, not until he's finished. Are you going back? No, I don't think so, but thank you for the introduction. I mean, if things were different, perhaps, but... I don't think i should have come back here. Hmm. I've had those same thoughts, and if it weren't for my daughter, I probably wouldn't have. You fell in love in Paris. A long time ago. Ah... James and i had the best times here. Just walking and talking, nothing out of the ordinary, yet somehow extraordinary. You're very lucky to have had a love like that. Yes, I am.
I know we've just met, and I am no expert on love, but I can't help but think he'd want you to be happy like that again. That's exactly what he'd want. And if only I could. Where have you been? Oh. Uh, folding towels? I thought you were Alexa. Oh, she's not back yet? Or answering her cell. All right, well, I left a message with jp. They probably just lost track of time. Hey, how long have you known this jp kid? Um, I don't know, a couple of months. That's it? He's a good kid. He's studying mathematics. I mean, how dangerous can he be? Okay. You know what, grab your coat. We're going for a walk. So, if you were two young people, and you were in love, where would you go? In love? They just met yesterday. How long did it take us? Okay, well, that was different. If you say so. This can only end one way. So if something ends, it should have never started? I just don't want them to go through what we went through.
We were happy. We were. So "Trent greer" of greer publishing, offices in New York, London, and Paris. Google. You googled my roses? I googled your roses. How come he didn't know you were allergic? He's... he's trying to buy my magazine. Oh, so they're business roses? Yeah, business roses. Oh... 'Kay. Yeah. Mademoiselle. Oh, merci. Remember that picnic we had here? Yeah, I remember a lot of ants. And that little dog who stole our sandwiches? And a thunderstorm. So, what was your husband like? My ex? My ex-husband? Your ex-husband, what was your ex-husband like? Um, pretty much... The opposite of you. Ouch. No, you know, I think I just didn't want to be reminded of you. Or us. Anyway, it didn't last long.
Well, I'm sorry about that. No, it's fine. It's almost as old-news as us. Plus, I got Alexa out of it, so I'm grateful for that. Yeah, you should be. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you never said, "i do"? I did not. Still dodging the commitment thing, huh? No, I'm very much committed. I'm committed to the hotel. You two seem very happy together. Yeah, we have a great relationship. You know, we have our ups and downs, but, uh... all in all, we are pretty good. Voila. How did you know they'd be here? Jp teaches tango lessons here on mondays. Ah. Well, you could have just told me that. Yeah, I could have just told you that. Mom? Alexa. This is so embarrassing. You weren't answering your phone. My battery's dead. I'm sorry, madame, we lost track of the time. Where did you learn to tango? My grandfather is from Argentina, but after he and my grandmother divorce, he move here. Oh, he lost his dance partner? He lost all his dance partners. That is why he and my grandmother divorce.
Ah-ah-ah... Aw, yes... - Oh, no. - Yes. - Oh, no, no, no... - Yes. Come on... No, Jack, i don't remember... You remember. I don't... Yeah, just feel it. Feeling it? There you go. Spin around. Do you like it? Wait a minute, wait, here it... Oh! Oh, no... Okay, whoa. Easy, now. Easy. Okay... Yes, I like it. I like it. Oh... Here we go. Ah, yes. And then, give it to me one more time. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. rayce, have a great night. All right, so my footwork might be a little bit off.
