Without any interference

from above.

So that's what you write!

Well done.

At times the police even

suit the Communist Party!

If they all did their job

like you do.

But I do it for you.

We were school mates

and we went fishing together.

But trust your friends.

It's all politics.

It's your government cronies

who play dirty politics.

Listen...

You can be frank with me

- What's behind all this?

- None of what you might think.

Nor of what my government

gronies think.

I'll tell you a story,

off the record.

A nice story.

It's about a man, his wife

and a cat

This one?

No.

This one?

No, I'm afraid not.

This one?

I believe this one resembles

him a little.

But it's only a drawing

not a photograph!

Enough time's spent on this,

we have to finish!

You!

Give me your description again.

Wanted.

A man, 175 cm tall, stocky

with greying brown hair.

perfect teeth,

slightly aquiline nose.

... JUDGE ASSINATED ...

... JUDGE PERRO SHOT DEAD

AT 6.30PM IN ROME ...

These brutal and appalling crimes

are an attack on law and order.

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF STATE

They are the diabolical fruit

of the actions...

of groups of young agitators

who preach violence

as a means to an end,

and sow seeds of delirium

in weaker minds.

It is time to say

'Enough, we will be strong!'

You saw the assassin?

I heard a shot and saw two

youths run away. That's all.

You were just passing by

at that moment?

Yes but I heard nothing, though.

I was on my bicyle when

two youths knocked me over.

Why were you at the scene

of the crime ?

I was in the basement,

I'm a printer.

I went upstairs to get

a little fresh air.

I heard a woman shout and

saw him on a bicycle.

At last! While you waste

your time on your little toy.

chasing your phantom

lunatic, the true killer

is exterminating judges, leaving

the country in a state of panic.

Actually, it was you who mentioned

lunatics. You came here to tell me.

But you were there and had

to see what wasn't there.

Meaning?

Pleas sit down.

I was saying they were everywhere.

At Varga's funeral,

where Sanza was killed...

They even set up camp.

A demonstation and a camp site

don't prove murder.

What about the eyewitnesses?

There were eyewitnesses

to Judge Perro's murder?

Nobody seen him shot, they

saw someone run away.

Enough talk.

You're an excellent detective.

The best criminal investigator

we've got.

But this now is

a political affair.

We have already made

too many mistakes.

It is imperative firstly to

restore the good name of the police.

You will work with the

political squad..

and collaborate with Inspector Bloma.

This way.

Get this to the Minister quickly

Yes Sir.
