The Face of an Angel Page #5

---

Someone had a sh*t in the toilet,

and left it there.

So they arrested Cedric Bapupa.

Then he got lucky.

He got a cast-iron alibi.

So the police start checking

their database.

They found that the sh*t belonged

to Joseph Derma.

A young guy who had been adopted

by a family in Siena.

He was definitely involved?

He was definitely in the apartment,

we don't dispute that.

A couple of days later,

Joseph went to Munich. He left Siena.

The police got a friend

to contact him on Skype.

Were you there when she was killed?

Listen, Matteo, I knew those girls.

I knew both of them.

I was at their house twice,

but I didn't do anything.

If they found my fingerprints, it must have

been from when I was there before.

- And Jessica?

- Jessica wasn't there.

So you see?

Jessica had nothing to do with it.

It was perfect for the police. They just

swapped one black man for another.

Come on, you know he's guilty.

There's no point playing the race card.

Joseph went for a separate trial.

I believe what he said.

And he was the only one who seemed

genuinely sad by Elizabeth's death.

I went to the bathroom. I heard voices.

It was Jessica and Elizabeth

fighting about some money.

I heard a scream

and someone running away.

They said, "Let's get out,

there's a black man in the house!."

I was scared.

I looked out the window

and saw Jessica's shadow.

I went to Elizabeth and tried

to stop the blood with a towel.

She'd been stabbed in the neck.

I was afraid.

I'm sorry.

I should have called for help.

Even now, when I close my eyes,

all I can see is the blood everywhere.

Very good, thank you, Joseph.

Thomas, lovely, lovely,

lovely to meet you finally.

- Hey. Adam.

- Hi.

- How are you doing?

- Hi.

So, we are all very excited about this.

We're absolutely thrilled

that you're on board. Well done, Steve,

- for dragging him back from Hollywood.

- Pleasure.

This will be the first time

that you guys have worked together...

Since... the last time.

So... what happened with your CIA

in Central America project?

First I got the stars and no money, and then

I got the money, but lost the stars.

Such a shame. I loved that script.

Thomas, tell us, how was...

how was Italy?

- Interesting.

- This is a great, great story.

- It's gonna be wonderful.

- Siena is beautiful. It's an amazing city.

Should almost be

a character in the film.

We have a clash of cultures,

American, Italian...

And two great parts for young women.

Do you have any thoughts?

Fortunately, we are now blessed with

a whole ream of fantastic young actresses.

- Carey Mulligan would be good.

- Yeah. She's very beautiful...

Well, I think I have to work out
