Fog and Crimes
- How much did it rise? - Eight centimetres.
Twenty centimetres in three hours.
- Things look bad. - Do you hear me?
- The radio. - Answer.
- This is Stellata. - How high is it there?
1.5 meters.
It's a disaster here. Let's advise civil security.
Look over there. It's Anteo's barge.
When did he arrive?
I don't know. He didn't come here to us.
- Is he leaving with such a high Po? - No. He would've turn the lights on.
"The River of Fog"
- Put down your card. - Look. He's leaving!
He didn't turn the lights on.
What is he doing? He'll get stuck in the sand.
Tonna has been navigating on the Po for 50 years. It's not what he would do.
- Look. - It's cut.
Maybe he had problems in steering it.
I'll give the radio alarm. That barge carries 200 tons.
It could bump against the bridge.
The current will take it under the arcades. It'll stop in Berra.
- Why? - There is a cove.
It will surely end up on the sand and stop.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
License and car registration.
The road is blocked up ahead.
- Didn't you hear the radio? - No.
There's a detour ahead. You have a broken light. I must fine you.
- You must? - Are you being funny?
Of course not!
Hello? Yes, I know the place.
Don't move him from there.
Did you block the exits?
If he died three hours ago, it is useless now.
Alright. I'll be there in a half an hour.
- Who are you? - Chief Soneri.
- We didn't recognise you. - I've come from Milan.
- Go. We will tear the fine up. - My light is broken.
- You are in service. - Don't make me waste time.
I am like the others. Goodbye.
I am Inspector Juvara. We talked on the phone.
- Good evening. - Come.
He fell from the third floor. It was about four p.m.
A stretcher carrier found him an hour ago.
- Did you identify him? - Yes. Tonna Decimo, 76 years old.
Why was he in the hospital?
He was a visitor, in a certain sense.
What does "in a certain sense" mean?
He didn't come to see anyone. He just came here once in a while.
- Try to be more precise, Juvara. - Yes.
- Crime squad head. - Soneri!
Nanetti! How are you?
Fine. Did they already make you work?
Unfortunately.
It has been for ten years now. You are now head investigations.
- Congratulations - Thanks.
It will be peanuts here, compared to Milan.
I got off to a bad start.
At the most, some suicides, like this one.
- Did you meet the magistrate? - Not yet.
His name is Alemanni. He is retiring soon.
- What's he like? - A guy who avoids trouble.
- There he is. I'll introduce him. - No. I'm going to the ward first.
Have the victim's head injuries checked, and then let me know.
Alright.
I heard the door slam, but I thought it was the wind.
- Where were you? - On the phone. We didn't notice...
- ...when the poor soul jumped below. - Nobody heard anything.
- I made the rounds of the ward. - Did anyone know the victim?
Everyone did. He was hospitalised here two years ago.
After he was dismissed, he came almost every day.
He talked to the new patients, and was the ward's mascot.
Did anyone have a closer relationship with him?
Number 15, Sartori. He was a bit more confidential with him.
- Sartori? - Yes, but he is resting now.
- See you tomorrow. Thanks. - Goodbye.
- Need help? - Move. You're blocking the light.
Soneri, we're coming.
We're finished down there. They're moving the body.
Do me a favour. Tell your boys to check this footprint.
- Maybe it's the dead man's. - Don't you think Tonna killed himself?
Someone could have pushed him.
He would have screamed. Someone would have heard him.
We'll know more after the autopsy.
Don't get any strange ideas.
Alemanni is thinking about filing the case as a suicide.
We'll see.
Want to bet a dinner that tomorrow Alemanni will file the case?
I choose the wine.
Okay. I'll close up.
- Hey. - What is it?
You were right. The barge got stuck in Berra.
- Did they find Tonna? - No. Nobody was in the cabin.
"Soneri's report irritates the Milan Chief. July 2002."
"In her sixth month of pregnancy, the wife of a police official dies."
- Hi, Draghi! - Soneri!
You look great.
Police Chief Capuozzo asked me to receive you.
- He is very kind. - He's not here. Come.
- Thanks. - I kept your place warm.
I'm returning to the robbery squad. These are two of my men.
Hello.
This Juvara guy they gave you as an assistant, what do you think?
I barely know him.
I think the Chief of Police did it for spite.
- Why? - He's not fit for investigations.
Where did they get him? Maybe at the switchboard.
If you want, I'll give you one of my men.
Your office is this way.
You and the Chief of Police knew each other?
- We worked together 10 years ago. - There was some friction.
- How do you know? - A sensation.
What do you say about my proposal?
- Juvara is okay for the time being. - Sure?
I have sensations too.
- Thanks, Draghi. - This is your office.
See you soon.
Good morning.
- Everything okay? - Yes, sir.
Tonna Decimo. Retired artisan, bachelor, lived alone in the city.
Four years ago he was treated for depression.
Anything else?
- I don't know if you are interested. - Go on.
Ex-enlisted man of social Republic, expatriated to South America.
Go visit Tonna's apartment.
- Go with officer... Musumeci? - Yes.
A lady is waiting for you in the other room. She is a lawyer.
She says it's urgent. Shall I tell her to come later?
No, let her in.
STILL NO TRACE OF ANTEO TONNA AND HIS BARGE
Juvara, forget that Tonna's apartment.
Do some research on Anteo Tonna. He disappeared last night.
Right away.
- Come in. - May I?
Hello. I'm Angela Cornelio.
- My pleasure. Sit down. - Thanks.
- Excuse me, but I've little time. - I'm sorry to bother you...
- ...but it is a delicate matter. - What is it?
- A stranger sends me flowers. - Is that an urgency?
With the flowers, he sends me this too.
"I will have you in your bed, naked among these flowers."
"I want to suck you like a candy."
- They're all like that? - Even worse.
One talks of chains and torture that he has in mind for me.
- Any idea who he is? - None.
Maybe it's someone who works with you.
- It doesn't seem possible. - Don't worry. We'll investigate.
Make out a regular report before leaving.
I don't want to show that note to anyone else.
I am very busy.
- Can you come back some other time? - Alright.
My number is on the envelope.
- Should I call you? - Thanks.
He has many injuries that are compatible with the fall.
- There could be a former cause. - I don't exclude that.
- Soneri. - Judge.
- We were waiting for you. - Excuse me. I had a little problem.
- Did you talk to the doctor? - Yes.
The autopsy confirms suicide.
- I wouldn't make hasty decisions. - I know what you are thinking.
- Nanetti mentioned something to me. - Yes.
Why do you believe that...?
Read here.
What does the flood have to do with it?
Anteo Tonna, who disappeared in the Po, is the dead man's brother.
- Maybe there is a connection. - I'm going back to work.
Thanks, Doctor.
What will you do?
You would like me to unite the two investigations.
- How was the agnolini? - Very good.
- I'm glad to see you again. - After, I would like--
I'll take care of it. Wild boar with polenta.
No!
I wanted to diet, but he always does what he pleases.
- Nothing has changed. - We met here, remember?
You had just got married to Ada.
Sorry if I wasn't present during the autopsy, but I avoid that if I can.
- What do you think? - Two brothers, the same day...
...one disappears and the other dies. It is very strange.
- Do you think they killed them? - I'd like to know more about Anteo.
The judge could be right.
Two brothers decided to end it together.
It doesn't convince me. By the way, a lawyer came, Cornelio.
- Do you know her? - Yes. Everyone knows "the Russian."
She is a brilliant lawyer, but I think she's even better as a woman.
One district attorney lost his head over her, and then the trial.
Come on! Take it away!
Hurry!
- You must close that shack. - Who takes care of our boats?
I'm calling the DA office. I'll make you go away.
- Sergeant major. - Did they call the police force too?
I am here for the Anteo Tonna matter.
That's all we needed!
Good thing they sent you. They took the holiday and there are few of us.
- Any news? - I signalled the person missing,
but no answer. People are emptying their houses now.
He has a niece. She manages a cafe.
- You didn't know? - He didn't see her much.
Her son worked with her uncle, but hasn't worked there for months.
