Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy, (soft sobbing) Mommy!

Giorgio!

Mommy, come here!

Mommy! - Giorgio,

where are you going?

Stop it!

Where are you going?

Mommy?

Mommy.

Giorgio!

Mommy!

- Giorgio, what's the matter with you?

- I want my mommy! (sobbing)

Where are you going?

Mommy.

Mommy!

I want my mommy.

Stop that crying, do you hear?

No, no,

Stop it!

No!

No!

Mommy!

No, Giorgio!

No!

No, Giorgio! - Stop it!

No!

No!

He's hemorrhaging.

We're gonna do all we can.

We'll take care of you.

Why?

No!

- Excuse me, Mrs. Mainardi? - Yes?

- You're the mother of the diseased, aren't you?

- No, his stepmother, he is my son.

- Ah, well, I'll need authorization from the next of kin

which must be one of you in this room

to proceed with the autopsy.

It's a routine matter, believe me.

It's just that in cases of sudden death,

we're required to do it by law.

- Well, this time you'll have to forget about it.

We won't never allow such a profanation.

- Well, I'm afraid you'll just have

to resign yourself to it, madam.

- We'll see, obviously, you don't know

who the Mainardi Family is,

or just how much money they've given this foundation.

I happen to be the wife of a very important man.

- Why an autopsy, what did they do to me?

- And I'll oppose the matter

with everything in my disposal.

Lucy.

The truth.

Giorgio?

- I want the truth, I'll have no peace

until I know the truth. - Giorgio?

- I intend to find out

who is responsible for this. - No, no! (gasps)

- And why the crime was committed,

I have never doubted a misuse

of power. - Giorgio, Giorgio!

- People who attained positions

of public importance-- - Giorgio, no!

Have a duty

to that public. - Giorgio.

- And those who take advantage of it--

No!

- Are nothing more than common criminals.

There's been a high level

of coverup which I intend to impose in full.

I'm not afraid of what they can do to me despite the threats

I've received. - Madam, madam,

what's the matter, don't you feel well?

- There's a great deal of corruption

lying beneath the surface-- - Oh, Dorrie, that voice!

- And I swear to God, I'm not going to...

Oh, I'm sorry, madam,

I'd fallen asleep with the television on.

Please excuse me, I swear I won't do it again.

There was this program about your husband.

- Two days ago, we decided to honor his name

with one or two short sections

shown here from our archive footage

in which Mr. Mainardi appears addressing a meeting

of the community counsel at a special session.

- Forgive me. - Don't worry about it.

I'm so exhausted.

Please, come upstairs with me.

- Certainly, madam, hold onto me.

Calm down, now you can sleep a little

and I'll make you some Ovaltine.

Where is David?

- In the kitchen, Marta's keeping an eye on him.

- I want to see him. - You can do that later,

but now you go to bed and I'll bring you a hot water bottle.

- You won't believe this, but it was impossible

for them to avoid doing an autopsy.

That idiot just wouldn't listen.

We'll have to postpone the funeral for a couple of days.

- Don't you think we should let Rosy know?

- Certainly, it would be most strange for a daughter

not to attend her father's funeral,

even if she didn't love him.

You go and rest, dear, Mario will take care of calling her.

Go call Rosy. - Right away, Mother.

Oh, so you're here.

Your son is dead, your beloved Giorgio.

Dead.

You understand?

Giorgio kicked the bucket, Daddy.

To everyone's joy, he finally dropped dead.

Luck you, you don't even know what's going on.

- Hello, could you get me the secretary

at St. Mary's College, please?

Hello?

I'd like to speak to Rosy Mainardi, a third year student.

Thank you.

Sure, I'll wait.

Proceedings of the autopsy

on Giorgio Mainardi.

In this hospital, on the 19th of June, 1991.

I have made a vertical abdominal incision

down to the intestinal cavity.

I am using hemostatic pincers to block the hepatic duct.

I am now extracting the first layer of the intestinal sack.

Which I will then immerse in formaldehyde.

Then, I shall open up the other side

and extract and isolate the section of the transverse colon.

I am using two hemostatic pincers

and will place the entire section in the liquid

to be examined later.

Now then, obvious lacerations clearly apparent

in the intestines.

No sign at all of growths or other cancerous tissue.

Oh, I must hurry, Enrico,

put the samples away 'til Monday.

We'll have a good look at 'em then.

You can sew him up.

- Why must they wait?

If only I could insist they do it now,

they'd see what it was that killed me.

Hello, Rosy.

- Hello, Mario. - Rosy.

Gianni!

It's good to see you.

Let's go.
