Killer Cop (La polizia ha le mani legate)

KILLER COP

Good morning, Mr. Rolandi.

Good morning. Would you please tidy up my apartment? It's in a terrible state!

- Don't worry. - Thank you.

Oh, you've bought a new car!

Well... almost new.

All characters and events appearing in this film are fictitious.

Any resemblance to real events is purely coincidental.

Fuck you!

POLICE HEADQUARTERS

Parking in a non-stopping zone! With a cock in your hand!

- Do you know how many years you can get? - So what?

This is obscene acts in public! You, wait there.

This is the last time I'll close a blind eye to you.

- Get out of here. - Ok.

- Who's that for? - It's for Mr. Rolandi. - I'll take it. Give it to me.

- Come in! - Here you are. Breakfast for Mr. Rolandi!

Hi. Why do they always leave the windows open in the morning? It's cold as hell.

- You don't know what you missed last night. - What did I miss?

It was really unbelievable.

- How can you eat that plastic? - What do you care! Go on, tell me!

- Can you imagine who was with Gianna yesterday evening? - Who?

Anselma, that lady from Lodi.

She's still a beautiful woman, with a nice ass.

I had to invite them both to dinner, then we went to Gianna's house for a drink.

Then they got hot and began to undress.

Then guess what happened? I had to make it with both of them.

- Oh, come on! - My kidneys hurt so bad!

Leave my lighter alone or you'll break it!

- Where are you going? - I go to work.

- But I came here to talk with you. - Just come along.

Where are you going? This is my car.

What do you mean this is your car?

- This Mercedes is yours? - Yes, but it runs on gas. Get in.

Well, not bad!

They have to understand it was an accident, it wasn't my fault.

If they hadn't considered it an accident, you wouldn't still be in the police.

Come on, this isn't being in the police:

Standing around for 8 hours on a tram looking for pickpockets.

You know, when I get home at night, my hands keep shaking.

You let someone scare you with a toy gun.

How was I to know it? He shoved it at my stomach

and what do you expect me to do? Spit in his eye?

Give him a punch with my left hand while I pull out my Magnum with my right hand?

Don't make me laugh! I put my hands up, but with dignity.

Besides, I'm not cut out for action, I'm cut out for induction.

Just to give you an idea, I'm like Sherlock Holmes.

- It's not so funny, I use my brain, not my hands. - Get to the point.

I'd like you to tell the Chief he should transfer me to Narcotics.

- I'll tell him, but I know what he'll say. - Just keep on telling him.

- What's this? - Leave it alone! Must you touch everything?

- Sandwiches I keep handy 24 hours a day. - I'm not going to eat it, don't worry!

- What are you on at the moment? - An Algerian drug traffic on a big scale.

- I could help you in a case like that. - Maybe if I can convince the Chief.

This is where I get off. You can stop here.

Bye. And don't forget to have a word with the Chief, will you?

- I won't. - Oh, I nearly forgot something.

- I'll pick it up tonight. - Why leave it there?

I might have it picked on the tram. Bye.

- Hi, boys. - Good morning, Mr. Balsamo! How are you?

- Are you working on line 75 today? - Let's go for a coffee. - Thank you, sir.

It is hard to find words to explain simply and exactly...

What I wish to say to you.

On behalf of the study committee that promoted the event...

I'd like to thank you all for participating...

And I sincerely hope that we'll be even more for this event next year.

- Thank you, goodbye. - You're welcome.

- When is the first Paris flight? - At 6:45 p.m.

- Book me a seat on it. - Yes, certainly, Mr. Belkazen.

I'd like to reserve a seat on the Paris flight at 6:45. The name is Belkazen.

- They'll call in 10 minutes. - Thanks. I'll wait here until you call me.

Can I have my key, please?

I need 5 minutes. Try to make sure he doesn't come up. Thanks.

How am I supposed to read this?

Down! Down!

- Hey, what are you doing? - That's my suitcase!

- Let go! - Get out of here!

- Look out, that suitcase! - Call the police!

Look out, there's a bomb in that suitcase!

Run away!

Keep back!

My God!

The explosion occurred this morning at 11:21.

The killing spree of the enemies of the State struck once again.

At the hotel there was an international meeting discussing naïve art.

Walk inside! We're now entering the lounge of the hotel "Parco dei Principi".

This is the hotel lounge after the explosion: A horrifying scene.

The explosion was very violent, fortunately the ceiling held-

- otherwise the number of the victims would have been even more.

Of the 12 dead 8 are of foreign nationality,

the wounded are all on the danger list.

The Procurator General Di Federico has taken on the investigation personally -

and was on the scene immediately.

In the capital a special assembly has been called for the Cabinet.

Early this afternoon a government representative will fly to the city

that has suffered this terrible blow from the enemies of the State.

Telegrams of sympathy have been sent from all over the world.

Imagine when they'll be there!

The bodies of the victims have been laid out in the garden of the hotel.

Members of the families were grieving during the identification formalities.

Many of the bodies were unrecognizable.

You're a slut.

What a thrill...

Where the hell is that moron?

- They should kill them all! - Bloody fascists!

MASSACRE! 12 KILLED AND 27 WOUNDED

They are not fascists. I think they're red!

Bombs are always fascist! Then hue doesn't matter!

- It's always the anarchists! - When nobody knows who it is, blame out the anarchists!

- It's too easy. - The truth is we need a strong government.

- We had a strong one for 20 years! - These things never happened during Fascism.

- Yes, but other things happened and nobody knew about them. - Enough of this talk!

Stop the tram! I'm the police. Let me off!

IT WAS A MISTAKE, FORGIVE ME

- Excuse me, did a boy in a green raincoat come this way? - I didn't notice him.

- Look out! - Wait, I'll pick it up.

Sorry, I didn't see you.

- Did you see a boy in a green raincoat come this way? - Yes.

- Where did he go? - Over there. - Thank you.

- Are you the one who wrote this? - No.

- I saw you in the phone booth. - Don't come any closer.

- Don't be foolish or I'll be forced to take out my gun. - Freeze or I'll shoot!

Get back. Get close to that gate! Quick!

Hurry UP!

Stop there.

If you make a move, I'll kill you!

Why in God's name is always me?

In parliament 22 interrogations have already been presented in less than half an hour.

Interrogation is very easy, giving answers is more difficult.

It would be something if we could find out their political hue.

Which color would be useful at the moment?

One or the other... doesn't make much difference.

But it would help to blame someone to calm the parliament and the public outcry.

International complications have to be considered as well.

The minister will have a crowd of foreign ambassadors on his heels -

- from all the countries involved in the massacre.

Many of the victims were very well-known in their country.

It's a serious situation.

It's a bit awkward, I agree.

Is that why you seem so bothered about our Procurator General?

By the way, what sort of man is this Di Federico?

- You mean "Minty"? - "Minty"?

Yes, they call him Minty because he sucks mints when he has something on his mind.

He's a tough man, but very able, stubborn but honest.

- And politically what is he? - No special sympathies, above all he's a technician.

Ok, but he can't possibly handle the whole thing on his own.

We must be constantly informed about anything regarding the investigation.

That seems fair, I might say.

Here he is.

Good morning, sir. I'm the secretary to the minister.

- This is Colonel Francalancia of the Information. - Nice to meet you.

The minister's just arrived from Rome -

- and is waiting for you with the Vice-Procurator Bondi.

- Give me those. - Would you mind waiting for me a minute?

- Any news? - Nothing yet. The Chief of Police is irritated.

"Minty" won't allow him to do anything without orders.

Our forces are searching the places where the students hang out.

Just before the explosion a young man tried to warn the hotel concierge.

Good, just go on keeping to look out and wait for further orders.

I understand perfectly.

The situation is serious, you're forced to tread carefully.

But we have to take parliament into account, -

- public opinion and the foreign countries involved in the case.

There's a line of ambassadors waiting outside the Foreign Office.

I'm a judge, not a politician, Mr. Minister.

Public opinion, parliament, the ambassadors...

...they only interest me up to a certain point in this case.

This is no ordinary case. It's strictly political.

It concerns also our international relationships, you can't ignore that.

Alright, Mr. Minister. What is that you want from me?

That you understand the delicate situation this massacre puts the country in.

You must keep us informed about the results of the investigation.

You will be. Just as soon as I get something in my hands, you will know.

But it has to be something concrete.

It's a matter of time, you see.

You don't think a valuable collaboration between the various police forces...

...and the Information Service might speed things up?

Speed it up?

Justice is not a sporting event, Mr. Minister.

I've personally undertaken the investigation of this case.

I will use the collaboration of Mr. Bondi -

- and whomever I think best at any particular moment.

This time there'll be no suicide at an inopportune moment...

There'll be no disappearing tapes or tapes that have been tampered with, -

and after 2-3 years of inquiries...

I will not be replaced suddenly by anotherjudge.

And after all this, I take full responsibility -

without any kind of interference.

And I'm assuming that.

Come on, get off!

Don't push!

Come on!

- Is there anything for me? - No, sir.

You are young. Why do you want to get in trouble?

You'd better tell us the names of the ones involved.

If this is your answer, I'll arrest you for insult to a public official!

I didn't mean to be offensive!

What a disaster, Luigi!

I can't tell you what it was like at the hotel.

You heard what happened, I suppose.
