The Beast (La Belva)

Captain Riva. Welcome back.

So, how are you?

You have to increase my dosage.

- Captain Riva... - Leonida.

Leonida.

I can go on dosing you up with drugs

until you forget your own name.

Or we can try to come up with something else.

Otherwise, it will be impossible for me to help you.

If you want to help me, increase the dosage.

They invited me to Saturday’s match.

- Is your son playing? - No...

Teresa, the little one.

The kids will come over for dinner afterwards, so...

I don't want to...

I want to stay calm while I am with them.

There's a support group tomorrow at 11:00.

Talking to someone can help you.

You could try at least...

Maybe on Saturday, with your wife...

Do I tell her about 30 years of military missions, at the match?

Not more than one every eight hours.

And come back next week,

so we will understand if we need to make adjustments.

THE BEAST

Easy!

Go!

Watch out!

Ref! That's a high tackle!

Teresa is getting good.

I didn't know you train her.

When do you play?

Look, I'm not six years old.

Can you please let me through?

Thank you.

- Do you need a fork? - Yes, please.

How are you?

How about you?

I'm fine.

About tonight, do we stick to our plan?

- If you don't feel like it... - No, it's ok.

Fine.

The only thing is that Terry doesn't eat cheese.

It's been a month. I don't know why.

It was her choice. All of a sudden.

Have you seen Mattia?

Yes, I...

I met him before.

Ok.

Ok, see you later.

- Mom. - Honey.

Where's my pink sweater?

- Did you check the clothes rack? - Right.

Thank you, dear.

What's the matter?

Are you sure it's just a business dinner?

Wait.

Get him something.

A dessert.

- It means a lot to your sister. - I know.

- Come on! - I'm going.

- Why are we stopping here? - Get off.

- Aren't we going to dad's? - Get off, Terry.

Come on! How about a nice burger?

Come on!

- Thank you. - Here you go.

It's eleven twenty.

There you go.

- I'll get your change. - Thank you.

Cool.

Come on, dig in.

You are always eating!

We are a little late.

- Hi, little girl. - Hello, kitty!

Hi!

Bye, sweetie.

- Terry, I'll be back in five minutes. - Where are you guys going?

Just back there, wait here.

The coach says he won't cap me anymore,

if I don't go back to two training sessions a week.

He's right. Serves you right.

- My father doesn't let me out... - Right, your father...

- You mean Miss Marini... - Ouch!

She keeps you on a leash, like a puppy.

At least I get laid.

At what cost?

- Teddy bear! - Shut up.

Stop screaming. Shut up.

You have to come back. Scrums with Montedoro suck.

- Yes sir, my captain. - Good boy.

You could always leave Miss Marini to Teddy Bear 2 and me!

Shut your mouth.

How bad do you wanna bang her?

She is big-boned.

We'll take turns fucking her.

Terry?

- What happened ? - I saw a Jeep rushing away.

Excuse me?

Have you seen a little girl, red hair?

I came out as I heard her screaming.

Terry?

Terry?

Teresa?

Teresa?

Terry?

Terry!

I don't know, I just saw a Jeep...

Mattia, go talk to the waitress.

Mattia, where are you?

Dad, I don't know what happened...

Calm down, please...

Mattia, I don't understand.

I swear, she just disappeared.

Are you sure?

Yes, I think so.

Where are you?

At the fast food right behind mom's house.

How long it has been?

I don't know, dad, ten minutes I think.

Are you alone?

Call the police. And don't move.

I'm on my way.

We don't have the plate of the suspect vehicle,

only a description provided by a witness.

It's dark-colored, maybe dark green.

We are placing roadblocks around the area.

Get a couple of officers, take a look around.

Try to figure out if anybody has seen or heard something.

Mister Riva?

Deputy Chief Basilio Simonetti.

We alerted every police station,

the forensic team is coming...

Did you manage to reach her mother?

Not yet.

I understand.

Excuse me for a moment.

Patrol car S38 speaking.

We noticed a suspect vehicle, a Jeep.

It’s running fast on viale San Giorgio towards the shopping center.

- Pull it over. - Copy that.

It's not stopping.

Suspect vehicle on the run!

We need backup, the Jeep is too fast!

Turn there!

Fuck...

The Jeep has just turned.

Alert the flying squad.

- Escort everyone to the police station. - Yes.

You two, come with me.

What the fuck is he doing?

Sir, they're headed out of town, we can't keep up with them.

Mister Riva, stop!

I'm fine.

For Christ's sake...

Turning to Via di Secondo Beneventano.

We're getting closer. Proceeding on Viale delle Muse.

Watch out!

Pick up...

Pick up!

Fuck you!

They have just reported to us the disappearance of a six year old girl

in the premises of a fast food restaurant, north of town.

The police hasn't released any official statement yet

but according to some rumors it could be a kidnapping.

Several witnesses on the crime scene

claim they saw a suspect vehicle running away...

What do we have?

Within 50 kilometers, we have 21 suspects with criminal records...

21? What about the Jeep?

The license plate is stolen...

- Traffic cameras? - Traffic cameras?

- Nothing yet. - Good Lord!

First Captain Leonida Riva.

30 years in the Special Forces.

12 missions in high-risk areas...

Somalia, Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda,

collaborations with Americans in Afghanistan...

and then a mission that started badly and ended up worse.

"Three years after discharge, the patient is still highly unstable,

"tends towards isolation,

"shows high levels of social, psychological and physical disability."

He refused treatment, so they started dosing him up with drugs.

What if he has something to do with the kidnapping?

He must have made a few enemies in the past.

His wife just came in.

Maybe we can convince her to get in touch with him...

Riva is not coming back.

He knows he has lost any chance of a friendly dialogue with us.

The investigation is too delicate, he will screw everything up.

We have to stop this man.

Come here.

This is a self-service, handsome.

- Look, do you sell... - What do you need?

I need a lot of this stuff.

You want to go wild!

Ok.

Wait here.

- You're right, he does look like a cop. - I told you!

Guys, I just need information.

Go away.
