If one wants to keep a secret,

one mustn't even confide in oneself.

One must never leave traces.

Good evening.

Come in.

Take a seat please, ma'am.

I used to come to this apartment

before you were here.

- It was a furrier's.

- I know.

Craxi used to say:

"Andreotti is an old fox,

he'll end up in a furrier's one day."

He was right, I really have.

But alive.

Does my company bore you

that much?

- Not at all.

- Really?

Really.

You aren't at all curious about me.

It's very unusual.

I'm only curious about myself.

My job is to inquire into myself.

Does this noble work pay well?

Yes, my husband pays for this

noble work very generously.

What do you expect from me, ma'am?

Sorry, I wanted to thank you.

It's a very difficult time for me.

I'm so vulnerable.

You mustn't be.

Vulnerability always commands

exorbitant prices.

So, what must I do?

Your young lover is transient

because youth is transient.

But your husband isn't.

He's a cure for your Ioneliness

and for your vulnerability.

Believe me, I'm familiar with

Ioneliness and it's not very nice.

In my position

I must have met about

Do you think this oceanic crowd

has made me feel any less Ionely?

Thank you.

Go!

Go!

Giulio, the Mafia murdered

Salvo Lima.

VINCENZO SCOTTI:

INTERIOR MINISTER alias "TARZAN"

Teresa, how are you?

That's good news.

Yes, Teresa.

Livia and I will visit you

on Sunday.

All right. Goodbye.

Teresa is my cousin.

She's the same age as me

and she's always sick, in hospital.

Once she was home for

three months:
A remarkable event.

To tell you the truth,

as much as I've tried,

and I've tried a lot over the years

of militancy, friendship...

I must say that I'll never

understand you.

I don't know you.

When they abducted Moro

I had spasms of vomiting.

An uncontrollable reaction.

Uncontrollable reactions

embarrass us.

But deep down they reassure us,

because they tell us

that we're alive and human.

We have to go to Palermo

for the funeral.

If they killed Lima to strike at me,

a candidate in pectore

for the presidency of the Republic,

it means there's another candidate

using these methods.

I speak to the State,

I speak to the investigators,

and I call on you to identify

and exemplarily punish

the killers

and the mandators alike,

so that this time

they cannot be shielded

by a disheartening vagueness,

especially the mandators.

Public opinion calls for justice

to prevail.

There should be

absolutely no doubt

about the willingness

to investigate

and expose the true facts.

Lord, keep a close watch on me

because I am becoming despicable in

the eyes of those who contemplate me.

Lord, keep a close watch on me
