-
Mrs. Hubert!
-
ls anyone home?
-
This is the third one
We found mangled like this.
-
The guys below Want
the autopsy results before noon.
-
l Want all traffic blocked down
at the intersection of the highway.
-
Nobody gets through.
-
Dr. Meyer, the area has been
completely blocked off,
-
all over three hours now.
-
- What are you planning to do?
- Wait a minute.
-
- Here's your coffee.
- Thank you, Mrs. Hubert.
-
lnspector Bouffet and l
Would be extremely grateful
-
if you'd retire to the kitchen.
-
- There must be absolute silence in
the house. - lf only you can do it!
-
lf only you can do it.
-
lt's time, Gabriella.
-
- Come on. - No!
- lt's all up to us now.
-
l don't Want to!
-
lf you think it's Wise
We could hold off on this thing.
-
l'm Warning you, don't follow us.
-
- At least take this.
- No.
-
Give me a portable lamp instead.
-
Please, no!
-
Now tell me Where you're hiding.
-
That's all l Want to know.
-
After that it'll all be over.
-
l'm scared.
-
Show me Where your hiding-place is.
-
Show me Where it is.
-
Where are you?
-
You're here, aren't you?
-
ls this Where you are?
-
ls this Where you're hiding?
lt's under here?
-
We found him!
-
lt's down here!
-
We found him!
-
Come on, down here!
-
Come on, We found him!
-
Easy...
-
Slow down.
-
She's better, the hospital says
she'll pull through.
-
lnspector, take a look.
-
Out.
-
Come, Dr. Meyer.
lt's your right.
-
l think We better pull him
out of there.
-
- What's that?
- A slipper.
-
Gabriella's slipper.
-
What else did you find?
-
Not much.
-
Here.
-
Thank you very much.
-
They just operated.
-
lt doesn't look like
they're going to save her leg.
-
Here, Meyer. This is everything
We'll ever know about him.
-
Not much to go on, is it?
-
To find out Who he Was.
-
lssued to Paolo Zeder.
-
We found Paolo Zeder!
-
A K zone!
-
He stumbled across a K zone.
-
- Wait a minute.
- Open up, it's me.
-
l know. l'll let you in
on one condition.
-
That you stay out of the kitchen.
Okay?
-
Okay.
-
- What a surprise.
- Happy anniversary.
-
Happy anniversary to you.
-
What is it?
-
lt's the one!
-
lt's gorgeous!
-
lt's electric.
-
They said it's a terrific model.
-
Only the electric cord Was missing.
So l called the electrician,
-
and he put one on.
-
lt types like printing in a book.
-
Just What a Writer needs, right?
-
lt's fantastic!
-
You're beautiful.
-
- You ought to see Where We got it.
- Where?
-
Mama Went to a pawnshop auction.
-
lt Was an anniversary
like in the movies, Wasn't it?
-
l'm going to go enjoy
my present a little.
-
- Who knows Who it belonged to?
- Who ?
-
Did you know Hemingway
typed standing up?
-
Novel number three.
-
The story begins...
-
The barriers of death
-
shall at last
be destroyed...
-
The temperature and depth
of K zone l found...
-
Correct and totally free,
above all suspicion...
-
Where buried body shall await...
-
- What are you doing still up?
- Wait a second, please.
-
l think l found the plot
for my third novel.
-
Curiosity about What happens
after death
-
grew to an obsessive quest.
-
But We'll go back to the oracles
of the dead on Tuesday.
-
Tell your classmates
to start showing up.
-
Have a nice Week-end.
-
Professor Chesi.
-
- Do you remember me?
- Certainly l do!
-
Your Wife keeps me informed
about the novels you're Writing,
-
and the fact
you haven't graduated yet.
-
l Wrote two and
neither has a publisher.
-
But now l've got an idea, l mean.
-
But l need some advice,
an expert opinion.
-
Witchcraft, magic, resurrections,
-
devilry, ghosts and haunted houses?
-
Maybe something along that line.
Do you have a minute?
-
Let's go to my office.
-
You can come back in half an hour,
Laura?
-
All right, Professor.
-
Nineteen, an orphan, she swears
she only goes for mature men.
-
Take a look.
-
- What are these?
- Two letters.
-
One is a letter, the other is a kind
of report, but l don't understand.
-
Later l'll explain how l got hold
of them, but read them first.
-
The first requires no comment.
-
lt's the second part
of a letter asking for...
-
Where the Writer congratulates
this Goodman character
-
for having gotten financing
and hopes part of the money
-
Will go to him
so he can finish his Work.
-
Money he probably never got
if he had to pawn his typewriter.
-
What ?
-
- What about the second?
- The second?
-
lf it's true, if it isn't
the fruit of your imagination,
-
it's singular.
- Singular? lt's insane!
-
Besides all these numbers,
temperature, depth...
-
Here it talks about the guy donating
his own body to the experiment.
-
Did you read this?
-
''The barriers of death
shall at last be destroyed,
-
thanks to our Work. My return
to life Will signal return of all.''
-
And this:
''The place l have discovered,
-
is the place the hierophant
Was looking for.''
-
- What does hierophant mean?
- A master of mysteries.
-
Now you have to tell me
Where you found it,
-
because there's something else
that only a scholar,
-
an expert in the history
of religions can see.
-
That's Why l have to know exactly
Who you got it from,
-
and if the text is correct.
-
Here's l got it.
A present from Alessandra.
-
An old typewriter.
-
Out of curiosity, l Wrote out
everything typed on the old ribbon.
-
- Here it is.
- Check Where it says ''K zone''.
-
''Found a K zone completely free
and unsuspected, ideal place...''
-
lt's an old theory going back
to the turn of the century.
-
A former student of mine,
a Swiss scholar named Meyer,
-
Wrote a thesis on it.
-
Funny, l thought it Was here.
-
These K zones Were the result
of research done by Paolo Zeder.
-
Somebody Who just
disappeared into thin air.
-
This Zeder sustained that in all the
places in antiquity Where contact
-
had been made With the Beyond,
With the dead,
-
from Delphi to Epirus
to Dodona and so on,
-
constants could be determined,
Which he called alchemical,
-
but Which We Would today call
chemical or geological similarities.
-
The areas he called K zones
Were supposed to be different.
-
They defied all natural laws
-
and existed in state of suspension.
-
ln a non-time, a non-season,
a non-growth, a non-death.
-
ldealistically, a zero-time.
-
And it Would allow
a return from the dead.
-
On my Way!
-
Don't scream at me
about yesterday's training.
-
The Commissioner himself
Wouldn't give me permission.
-
Never mind,
nobody showed up, as usual.
-
How can you find out Who something
belonged to in a pawnshop?
-
Hi. Did l scare you?
-
- l Was Waiting for you.
- What do you Want?
-
- l saw how you Were looking at me
today. - You're crazy!
-
- Go on home.
- Pig! Son of a bitch!
-
Forget it.
-
You ass hole!
-
Shithead!
How dare you treat me like that!
-
The decision taken there
Was a mistake...
-
l'm sure.
See you later, sorry.
-
- How are you today, Miss Goodman?
- Fine.
-
- Do you plan to stay late tonight?
- l don't know.
-
- Hi.
- Come in.
-
- Guido! - This is for you.
- You're crazy. Thanks.
-
Forget it.
-
That's What's so great about
friends, they hate each other.
-
- Right?
- Right.
-
- And this is for you.
- Thank you.
-
- What is it?
- Nothing, an address.
-
- Aren't you staying for dinner?
- Next time.
-
- l have to do six
shoot-outs before bed-time. - Wait.
-
l found it in the flea market.
-
l Wanted to give it to you
When you got promoted,
-
but today l have to be forgiven.
- Let me see.
-
ls anyone here?
-
Sorry,
l Was looking for Don Luigi Costa.
-
- Who are you? - l have
something to show Don Luigi.
-
- What's it about? - Something
personal, l can only it to him.
-
- Did Don Emidio send you here?
- No, Who's that?
-
You Were saying you had something
personal for Don Luigi Costa?
-
Yes, it's kind of nonsensical...
-
Somebody gave me a typewriter
that used to belong to him.
-
Go on. What's this all about?
-
You're Don Luigi!
Well, here.
-
Look.
-
- You must be mad.
- Why?
-
You attribute these things
to a priest?
-
No, they seem strange to me too.
-
Before going to the police,
l Wanted to find out...
-
Nobody in the World
could have Written such nonsense.
-
l never owned a typewriter
in my life!
-
- Only the table? - l don't think you
have the authority to interrogate
-
the first one you come across.
- You don't plan to help me?
-
Sure l'll help you.
Tear up this stuff.
-
And forget it
as quickly as possible.
-
Don't ever come back,
understand?
-
Well? You're the one
Who's in training, not me!
-
- God, now What?
- Funny.
-
Nobody's supposed to be here.
-
- Where are you going?
- Quiet. Be quiet...
-
ls anyone up there?
-
ls that you?
-
Are you down here?
-
What kind of trick is this?
-
Where the heck Were you?
-
The circuit breakers blew down below.
-
- Something Wrong?
- Nothing, Why?
-
- Damn, they Were right here.
- What?
-
What do you mean, What?
-
Come on. The letters, the ribbon,
Hand them over.
-
l swear l don't know
a thing about it.
-
Excuse me, l Was here
this morning to see Don Luigi.
-
l left some papers
in his office.
-
- Who did you say?
- Don Luigi, l talked With him.
-
Come in.
-
Wait here.
-
l Was looking for Don Luigi Costa.
-
He hasn't been part of Mother Church
for over 10 years now.
-
- He left his vows.
- Today, in the parish office,
-
this bald man, Who said he Was...
- But that's just not possible.
-
Besides Don Emidio,
l'm always around.
-
Seeing the devotion of our
parishioners, two of us are too many.
-
Listen, l'm not crazy.
l'm positive that l met him, l mean.
-
That's impossible,
l didn't go out the Whole day.
-
- When you're away, Father...
- Yes, of course.
-
- l'm sure you're mistaken.
- No, it can't be.
-
He Was in a kind of closet,
rummaging through a pile of papers.
-
l don't know Who you met today,
-
but it certainly
Wasn't Don Luigi Costa.
-
l don't Want to know anything
about What Was in those letters.
-
l only know that Luigi used to be
a highly esteemed priest here.
-
He Was in charge of the children.
-
lt Was he Who took them
to camp every summer.
-
Then his Weird studies
Went to his head.
-
- l say it Was his illness.
- What illness?
-
Unfortunately he discovered
he had an incurable disease.
-
lt coincided With his decision
to abandon his vows.
-
Anyway,
-
from that time on
he started talking funny.
-
Don Emidio used to bless
the sacristy When he Went out.
-
Then he disappeared,
We haven't heard from him since.
-
l believe he Wound up
With a sister of his,
-
Who had a house in Rimini.
-
Or maybe he's there in the hospital.
-
lt's been so long
since he's come around here.
-
Do you Want the address?
-
l'll tell him you're here.
-
Gabriella,
l'm very Worried about you.
-
Now that the most delicate phase
is about to begin...
-
You mustn't. l have one more reason
than you and the others.
-
A reason it's hard to forget.
-
At any price,
l have to understand.
-
You may come in.
-
Right this Way.
-
We found a further confirmation
of What We're looking for,
-
thanks to the Work
of the ltalian research team.
-
Last night l Was thinking...
-
You've devoted over 30 years
of your life to this business,
-
maybe Without thinking
about one fact.
-
Every 70 years more than 3 hundred
million people on the earth die.
-
Meyer, three hundred million!
Life is based on this certainty.
-
Death is indispensable,
and fortunately up to now
-
We've had no counter indications.
-
Death isn't an illness that can
be cured, it's a definite finality.
-
And that it must remain.
-
Paolo Zeder offered himself
for the sake of his research,
-
having himself secretly buried
in that ground, under that house,
-
to demonstrate his theories
Were Well-founded.
-
There may be a Way to come back
and We're about to discover it.
-
You yourself have been With us
since the beginning.
-
You've encouraged us, helped us,
-
and you're asking us
to leave off now?
-
- The risks?
- They Will occur far away from here.
-
From tonight on,
the risks Will be ours alone.
-
- Hello?
- Stefano. - Who is this?
-
That letter you found Was meant
for somebody Who never got it.
-
- Who is this?
- Don't interrupt, shithead.
-
lf you Want to know more
you can make a bundle.
-
Just be at the Margherita Gardens
around ten.
-
Bring enough cash to make it Worth
my While, you'll find out plenty.
-
Come alone.
-
Hello?
-
Stefano, are you inside?
-
Where the fuck are you, asshole?
-
What a jerk you are. What
Were you trying to do, scare me?
-
Who are you?
What do you Want?
-
l'm trying
to bring it all into focus.
-
A bunch of Words on a ribbon.
-
Where do they lead? To an ex-priest.
-
And a phone call
saying they know everything.
-
And a meeting out there,
in the middle of the night.
-
And the appointment never kept.
-
Okay, Stefano, cut it out.
You've got to stop.
-
- This isn't stuff for us.
- l'm going to Rimini tomorrow,
-
to look for this Luigi Costa
character. You do What you Want.
-
At least let me take a bathing suit.
-
This must be it.
-
So What are We doing?
-
Didn't you Want to get some sun
and study? There's a beach.
-
Join you later!
-
Anybody home?
-
ls anybody home?
-
Excuse me...
-
Can l come in?
-
- Anybody home? Hello!
- Who's there?
-
Excuse me, ma'am...
-
- Who told you you could come in?
- Nobody, l saw the For Rent sign...
-
You must've seen the notice
to go to the agency.
-
- l did read it...
- Anyway, l've decided
-
not to rent it after all. They have
to take that damn thing down.
-
l took the liberty because l know Don
Luigi from When l Was a kid, at camp.
-
That's how
l knew this Was his house.
-
l thought he'd have rented to me,
more readily than to others.
-
My brother's not here.
He's not With us anymore.
-
- When did it happen?
- A month ago.
-
But he Was in and out
of that hospital almost a year.
-
With those butchers Who are
only capable of killing people...
-
- l'm terribly sorry.
- Thank you.
-
- l'll be going now.
- Were you very close to him?
-
Look inside that vase
on the chest over there.
-
There's the key
to the room upstairs.
-
Take it and go have a look.
-
- Did you find it?
- Yes, here it is.
-
Watch out for the lock.
-
lt's old and the key
might break off inside.
-
Nobody's been up there
since last summer.
-
lt Was his room.
-
Done?
-
Are you sure nobody's
been up here for a year?
-
Certainly. But in any case,
it's not for rent.
-
lf you Would show me
the courtesy of leaving...
-
- Bologna Police headquarters.
- This is a friend of Guido's...
-
- Lieutenant Guido Silvestri.
May l speak to him? - Hold the line.
-
Sorry, he isn't here anymore.
He's been transferred.
-
He's been transferred?
Where, exactly?
-
l'm not authorized to give out
that kind of information.
-
A girlfriend?
-
Did you know
Guido's been transferred?
-
Transferred... Where?
-
They didn't Want to say.
-
He Was a kind of nasty.
-
lt's funny...
-
A guy like Guido leaving and
not even coming to say goodbye.
-
So, he's dead and she's blind.
-
That's it.
-
We better go back to Bologna.
-
The house of mystery...
Look at Swanson and Von Stroheim!
-
lt's him!
-
The one Who said
he Was the priest.
-
l'm sure of it.
-
He knows me. You better go.
-
- My God...
- Please.
-
Then, l promise We'll go home, okay?
-
- Money.
- What for?
-
Flowers, of course. What kind
of private eye are you?
-
Luigi dearest...
-
Poor Luigi.
-
Why aren't you With me anymore?
-
We have to go.
-
Come on, now...
-
- lt can't be!
- lt is.
-
- When did this happen?
- One year and two days ago.
-
And you didn't let me know?!
-
Not even that ass of your father!
-
We know you're so busy, Professor,
running a hospital like this.
-
To think that When you Were a girl
and your father and l Were poor,
-
We used to plan how you and
my Francesco Would get married.
-
- Remember?
- Not very Well.
-
He's grown into a giant, he still
hasn't graduated from college,
-
but he's a karate expert.
-
Look What he did to my poor hand,
last Monday afternoon!
-
So Who did you settle on?
-
- Him! - Good afternoon.
- lsn't he ugly?
-
He isn't even rich,
but he's an incredible egoist.
-
We're here for our Wedding present.
-
A year late,
but from you We expect it.
-
Go on, l Want to make amends.
-
Luigi Costa died about a month ago,
here in your hospital.
-
- He Was supposed to have
been very sick. - Certainly, Costa.
-
l remember him.
He had been a priest at one time.
-
Lung cancer.
-
We'd like to know Where he's buried.
He Was a distant relative of mine.
-
- l haven't been able to find out.
- He Was buried here in Rimini.
-
He isn't here.
-
Don't tell me to go ask his sister:
the poor Woman knows less than me.
-
l really don't know
how l can help you.
-
- Maybe the police knows something.
- There's no need.
-
There's nothing mysterious about it.
-
A little secret between me
and the poor old man.
-
But if you're a relative...
-
The last few years of his life,
-
he Was affected
by a persecution complex.
-
He didn't Want to be buried here,
and he didn't Want it known Where.
-
lt Was as though he Was afraid.
-
lt Was supposed to remain
our secret.
-
But instead...
-
He certainly chose a strange place,
the cemetery of Spina.
-
Luigi Costa? Did you try
the Etruscan necropolis?
-
- Sometimes they make a mistake!
- Well?
-
He's in the night club.
-
- Where did you say?
- lt has always been called that.
-
lt's a kind of underground place.
-
Sorry l can't go With you, l'd have
done a rumba With the young lady!
-
Last chapel on the right!
-
This is creepy!
-
- Want to Wait for me outside?
- Are you kidding?
-
Here it is!
At last l get to see his face.
-
- lt's strange, though...
- What?
-
They must've broken the tombstone
When they set it.
-
ln fact they set it very recently.
-
The cement is still fresh.
-
While these...
-
Are at least two Weeks old,
if not more.
-
Kind of hard to put flowers
on a gravestone before you set it.
-
ls it cold down here.
-
Come on, are We going or not?
-
- You know What he looked like!
- Go on up, l'll be right there.
-
- Wait for me in the car.
- l can't Wait to go home.
-
lt's empty!
-
Here it is!
Tonight too, see.
-
The sound and light are hooked up
to photo-electric cells,
-
placed around the ground
under study. As you see,
-
there's nothing visible moving.
-
Yet the sensometers scattered around
signal a presence,
-
like somebody
Walking over the field.
-
lt can't be small animals
because the sensometers
-
are set to react
only to a certain Weight.
-
They're calibrated
for over a 100 pounds,
-
and no living creature exists small
enough to escape our TV cameras,
-
With a specific mass that dense.
-
What's the temperature
of the ground now?
-
- lt's up nine degrees.
- And now?
-
- lt's still rising.
- lt's always the same.
-
The arrival of that presence in the
zone slowly raises the temperature.
-
Every night at the same time,
and at dawn the effect disappears.
-
The data collected by Luigi Costa
Was extraordinarily precise.
-
Anyhow,
your suspicions Were correct.
-
The tomb is empty.
He isn't there.
-
- Now Where do We look for him?
- ln Bologna.
-
l have two classes.
-
Come on, hurry.
Let's take the highway.
-
- Dear Luigi Costa, We're
through With you! - What...
-
Spina. See What your book says.
-
The necropolis of Spina.
That's What that name reminded me of!
-
Go on, read more.
-
lt Was founded around 530 B.C.
-
lt Was heavily hellenized and
had its own treasury at Delphi.
-
- What's that mean? - That they Were
in touch With the Delphic oracle.
-
The oracle of the dead?
-
The vast necropolis, Which
included a large number of tombs,
-
number that seems
inexplicable today,
-
given the scarcity
of the population...
-
- Zeder's K zones!
- What?
-
Professor Chesi
Was telling me about it.
-
According to this Zeder,
there exist special areas, K zones,
-
Which live in their own time,
-
Where it's possible to bring
those buried there back...
-
Back from the Beyond.
-
That may explain a lot of things,
-
like Why he Wanted
to be buried around here.
-
Here, this is
Where he Was years ago.
-
- How do you know?
- Don Mario told me.
-
And at his sister's house,
l saw a kind of certificate of merit
-
With the name of this camp.
- How sad it is!
-
Just think
of all the children here once.
-
Right down the road
from the necropolis, see?
-
And you Want me to drop this story?
-
Listen, let's ask that guy.
-
- What? - How We get back
to Bologna, What else?
-
Excuse me, Where's
the highway for Bologna?
-
Turn there, take your second right.
lt's a couple miles down.
-
Thanks. Let's go.
-
- l feel like l've got to stay.
- Stay here?
-
To do What?
How can you Want to stay here?
-
l have to understand
What this is all about.
-
There are too many things
that don't make sense.
-
A heap of strange things...
-
The only strange one
around here is you.
-
Come on, let's go!
-
l'm staying.
That's all there is to it.
-
l guess you Want me
to hitchhike back to Bologna,
-
seeing as how you're interested
in all the stupidity in the World,
-
except me.
-
Take the car.
-
You're a nut!
A crazy, selfish nut!
-
Go to hell!
-
Had a fight, didn't you?
-
No, it's just that l'm doing
some research about this place.
-
There, and she doesn't Want to.
-
- You know how Women are.
- l know something about them.
-
l got a mother Who's a real terror.
-
- What are you studying, ruins?
- Ruins.
-
- This is a motel!
- And a restaurant too.
-
But When they finish up there,
We'll have to close.
-
- Are they making it into a hotel?
- You bet.
-
These Frenchies, over a thousand
rooms, all With colour TV.
-
We got a dozen rooms and
can't rent one for love or money.
-
- And those guys are putting up
a thousand! - l'll rent one.
-
lf you're into ruins,
this here's the oldest ruin in Spina!
-
Mirko, fill 'er up
and take a look at the oil.
-
Benni, there's a stranger here
Who's heard a lot about you.
-
Are you one of those nuts
from up there?
-
No, l'm doing some research
on What Went on here.
-
l Will tell you everything
for a beer.
-
- Questions? - No, l just Wondered
What you knew about that place.
-
l know What everybody knows.
-
That it Was a holiday camp
up to '56, When they closed it.
-
- Then? - Nothing until three
years ago, When the nudists came.
-
The ones Who go around
With their cheeks out...
-
- What happened? - So these
perverts, that's What they are,
-
are all lying on the beach,
When a dog of theirs dies.
-
So What do you think they do?
They bury it there.
-
So they leave.
-
Every night anybody Who Went
by there risked his life.
-
They found old Luisa With her throat
ripped to pieces.
-
So one morning We go in there
With our shotguns,
-
me and six or eight others,
-
and one of those long-hairs tells us
Where they buried the mutt.
-
We dig him up,
he Was a good six feet under.
-
And What else do We find?
-
He had the pair of garden shears
that belonged to old Luisa
-
stuck in his neck.
-
We pulled him out of there.
-
He'd been dead at least three months
and still Wasn't rotting!
-
So We threw him in garbage dump,
it Was all over.
-
That's Why l say those Frenchies
building that hotel are nuts!
-
Don't you pay Benni no mind!
-
Go on and laugh!
-
But l Wouldn't spend a night in a
place like this for a million bucks!
-
- What are you doing here?
- And you?
-
l often come here.
l like it.
-
Besides, our parish Was once
in charge of this camp's functions.
-
- Luigi Costa came here too.
- Him too.
-
You know something
you don't Want to tell me.
-
We priests never tell lies.
lt's in the contract.
-
Lies, no.
But not talking isn't lying.
-
Here's my alibi.
-
You mean to say you come
all the Way from Bologna for those?
-
Poor Don Emidio enjoys them so much.
-
But you enjoy something else.
-
l like trying to understand
man and his mysteries.
-
A priest leaves the Church
after a lifetime of sacrifice,
-
only a few yards
from the finish line,
-
in sight of the big prize.
-
- ln exchange for What?
- The promise of a return?
-
Maybe the promise of a return.
-
Here We are talking like two
imbeciles and l've got a service.
-
l'd like to see you again, to talk.
-
Sure, but in Bologna.
-
Go away from here.
-
Leave this business to us
professionals of the supernatural.
-
Come in.
-
- ls that you?
- Yes. Did you Want to see me?
-
l've thought about it a lot.
-
You have to tell Stefano to give
that letter to the police.
-
They stole it from him.
He hasn't got it anymore.
-
Better. Then maybe
l'm Worrying about nothing.
-
l have these strange forebodings...
-
My husband isn't doing anything.
-
l don't Want anything to happen.
Please, make him go to the police.
-
l recognize you.
-
Where are you?
-
Where are you hiding?
-
What are you
standing in the dark for?
-
Chesi advises you
to go to the police.
-
- You should at least
talk to our friend. - Guido?
-
Right, Guido.
-
- God...
- lt's useless to read it.
-
lt Was a real accident,
nothing suspicious.
-
Do you see Why l came back?
-
Guido is dead, Stefano!
-
l Was scared
to stay alone in the house.
-
So l grabbed all the things
We might need and here l am.
-
For a moment l had the sensation
he Was interested in my research.
-
- How?
- No...
-
lt Was nothing.
-
A stupid coincidence, that's all.
-
Come on, let's do something fun.
-
Come on, please.
-
- We Were in school together.
- Don't think.
-
You sure couldn't find
a more suicidal room than this.
-
At least turn on the light.
-
What is it?
-
What is it?
-
Here's What it is!
-
How can it be?
-
You said it yourself:
-
a special kind of typewriter,
-
fairly rare...
-
And here, What do We find
a few yards from the holiday camp?
-
The cord!
-
Don't tell me it's a coincidence.
-
Luigi Costa lived here,
in this hotel.
-
Maybe in this very room...
-
My friend Carla says
-
making love makes the fear pass.
-
You kids, get out of here!
Do you hear me?!
-
Did a certain Luigi Costa
ever stay here?
-
How do l know?
We just started running this place.
-
lf you ask me, it Would've been
better to forget the Whole thing.
-
l see
you and the girl up there.
-
That's a good-looking chick.
-
Ones like her are hard to come by
around here. Where do you find them?
-
- Want me to bring you up
some breakfast? - No, it's okay.
-
ls there a Watchman in there?
-
There Was, but they fired him
When they took over.
-
There must be somebody...
Last night there Was a light on.
-
Sure, With all
the machinery they brought.
-
- What machinery? - Scientific stuff,
to do their research With.
-
l know, l Watched them unload
through my Super Visor.
-
- Your What?
- My Super Visor.
-
l got it from a mail-order catalogue.
-
When the nudists Were here,
it really came in handy!
-
l spend hours up there,
messing With that gadget.
-
- What did you see?
- lt's no use looking.
-
You can't see anything now.
They took it all inside.
-
- What? - l don't know.
l thought they Were making a movie.
-
They had these TV cameras
and lights...
-
- And they never come down here?
- Never, not even for coffee.
-
- Nobody better try to go in there!
- Why?
-
They say they put up
a kind of electrified fence.
-
But there's a Way to get in,
anyway.
-
- How? - When We Were kids,
We snuck in to steal fruit,
-
even past a guard
With a shotgun full of buckshot.
-
- The hell We Were going through
the gate. - How did you get in?
-
There Were Germans here
during the War rounding people up.
-
But some found
a Way to save themselves.
-
Let's go!
-
- l'll go get another one.
- Never mind, it stopped.
-
His face, on the screen!
-
lt Was White, cadaverous...
-
He looked dead to me.
-
And then this.
-
Did you tell that giant
to come in here With all that stuff?
-
Come on, Who cares?
l'm telling you about insane things!
-
- Sorry.
- Now, listen.
-
l need you to go to Professor Chesi
With this videotape, right away.
-
He must have a videotape machine
at the university,
-
or else he can get one.
-
lf only a small part
of What l think is on it,
-
We finally have proof and
you can take it to the police.
-
Then all this Will be over.
-
Okay? l can't leave.
-
l have to make sure
they don't take everything away.
-
Then it Would be impossible.
-
Washed, greased
and With an oil change!
-
Thanks.
-
- lt doesn't start.
- Come on!
-
Let me try. Go out.
-
- Damn...
- See?
-
- What did you do to it?
- Me? Nothing.
-
l changed the oil. l figured it could
use it, it Was smoking so much.
-
- Now, What? - ls there a Way
to get to the train station?
-
My motorbike,
in ten minutes We'll be there.
-
Well,
promise you'll be careful.
-
- Don't go back in there, okay?
- Promise.
-
Hello, this is urgent.
l need to talk to Don Mario.
-
l Wish l knew Where he Was!
We haven't seen him since yesterday.
-
l called the hospitals, l Was just
about to call the police now.
-
Who's calling?
-
Hi!
-
Excuse me, they called from the
hospital to say my mother Was bad.
-
The only one Who can take me
is Mirko.
-
l don't know if l'll be back
tomorrow morning.
-
lf anything comes up, you can
always reach us at this number.
-
- Feel free to use the bar.
- Thank you.
-
- Good evening.
- Good night.
-
- Hello? - Alessandra stopped by
and told me the Whole story.
-
Then l saw that tape you sent me.
What is it, some kind of a joke?
-
- lt's completely blank.
- Crazy things are happening here.
-
- l think l saw Luigi Costa...
- Who?
-
The ex-priest... Never mind,
you Wouldn't understand.
-
- l think We better call the police!
- l'll take care of it.
-
All right,
but have them come right away.
-
- Keep Alessandra With you.
- Stay calm.
-
Stay Where you are
and don't do anything.
-
l'll be there as soon as possible.
-
Hello? Hello?!
-
He has to be taken care of and
that body has got to be disinterred.
-
Everything's ready.
-
Who's there?
-
You may as Well give up.
-
- They cut you off, didn't you?
- How do you know?
-
You're screwed, friend.
We're screwed.
-
That's not What l'm here for.
-
l came to tell you they already left
their calling card.
-
Come on.
-
Everybody says l'm crazy. Just
look here, if l'm a little crazy.
-
We got to try and dig up
that ex-priest quick,
-
and get him out of that ground,
if We still hope to save ourselves.
-
l don't think l'm going to make it.
-
l really don't think
l can go any further.
-
We better go back.
-
Stop! Come back!
-
What do you try to do?
Come back, son.
-
Unbury him...
Unbury him!
-
Unbury him...
Pull him out of that ground.
-
For the love of God!
-
- Where's the machine?
- Over there.
-
- Please, sit on.
- Good morning.
-
Some little inconveniences that We
Will call accidents along the Way,
-
have forced us to temporarily
suspend the experiment on that site.
-
But We are now in possession
of such exceptional confirmation
-
to suppose that, in a near future,
the situation Will be under control.
-
We don't feel the sacrifice
of our two valorous colleagues
-
in the name of science Was in vain.
-
That ground is the most fertile
K zone yet identified.
-
l remind you l came to know of
this place, together With Dr. Melis,
-
on the indication of a remarkable
man, somebody from the place:
-
a certain Luigi Costa, an ex-priest.
-
Wake up!
-
Come on, Wake up.
