(footsteps shuffling) (doors click) (pensive music) (children laughing) (child faintly speaking) (pensive music) (children laughing) (birds chirping) (pensive music) (pensive music continues) (footsteps shuffling) - Pablo?

(pensive music) (footsteps shuffling) Your Italian foster mother told me something happened at school yesterday.

She said the teacher called her in because you attacked another child.

(pensive music) Was it for fun, Pablo?

I thought not.

Because it's not fun hurting people, is it?

It's scary.

(children clamoring) (dog barking) (children yelling in Italian) - Hey!

- [Counselor] Did she do something to you, the girl you attacked?

- I tripped and fell.

She laughed, so I hit her.

(children yelling in Italian) (resident speaking in Italian) (children yelling) - Have you been hurt before?

(pensive music) (birds chirping) (pensive music continues) (footsteps shuffling) (pensive music fades) (footsteps clicking) (birds chirping) (dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music ends) (insects chirping) (birds chirping) (gentle music) (gentle music continues) (sledgehammer thudding) (rubble crashing) (sledgehammer thudding) (rubble crashing) (Luca speaking in Italian) (Salvatore speaking in Italian) (Sylvia coughing) - What the hell are you doing now, Salvatore?

You didn't tell me you were gonna tear a bloody wall down.

(Salvatore speaking in Italian) (Sylvia sighs) (birds chirping) (wheelbarrow clunking and squeaking) - Hey, Luca.

(Luca speaking in Italia) - How's it going?

- Well, Papa said it's the worst property he's ever worked on.

- [Isabel] Oh, really?

- Yeah, but he said that about every job.

But this one, yeah, it's pretty bad.

- Oh, dear.

(rubble crashing) It'll be worth it when it's finished.

- I'll be too old to enjoy it by then.

- Well, maybe it's time to admit defeat.

- What does that mean?

That I should just give up and go back to London?

It's a bit late to say that now!

- No.

I mean, come and stay with us.

We've got bags of room now Alice has gone.

- Sorry.

And thank you, but I'm fine here, honestly.

- Come on.

You need a coffee.

(Sylvia sharply exhales) And a shower.

(birds chirping) (bright music) (bright music continues) - Mm.

- Better?

- Much.

- It'll be all right.

You just have to relax and let the Zampas do it their way.

- You make it sound so easy.

- Well- - Cappuccino.

(Mallory speaks in Italian) - What are you doing?

- Shh!

Shh, shh - Sylvia Fox?

What on earth are you doing here?

- Mallory?

- Mallory Bell.

Sylvia and I were at Cambridge together many moons ago.

- Isabel, Sylvia's sister.

- Really?

She talked a lot about her parents.

She's never mentioned a sister.

Well, what are you doing here?

Are you here on holiday?

- Isabel lives here.

- Well, so does Sylvia now.

She just bought a house outside the village.

- Well, it's more of a building site, not fit for human habitation.

- Oh, don't worry, I'm staying up at the castle.

- Really?

I didn't think anyone lived there now, not since the old marchese died.

- Just the housekeeper.

I mean, it's all a bit dusty and moth-eaten, but I like to be on the spot.

- [Isabel] On the spot?

- I'm an archeologist.

I've been trying to get into the Monterosa for years, and the owner has finally given me permission to dig in the grounds.

- [Isabel] What are you looking for?

- The Monterosa belonged to the Knights Templar of the early Middle Ages.

Their chapel would be a major find.

- [Isabel] Fascinating.

- Mm.

And how's life with you?

I heard you were doing great things at the Foreign Office.

- I'm taking a bit of a career break, actually.

- Thought you'd be an ambassador by now.

Well, I must push on.

I've lots to do.

- Oh, please, let me.

- Oh, how kind.

Well, let's meet up.

Give me a pen and I'll give you my number.

- Oh, why not let Sylvia put her number straight in your phone?

That way you won't lose it.

(birds chirping) (crowd chattering) - Yes.

There you go.

(crowd chattering) (keypad clacking) Excellent.

Well, thank you for the coffee.

It's lovely to meet you, Annabel.

Ciao.

- Ciao.

- Bye, Mallory.

(crowd chattering) (birds chirping) Thanks very much, Annabel.

Why did you have to tell her I live here?

- Why didn't you tell your smart Cambridge friend you had a sister?

- I wouldn't call Mallory a friend exactly, more an unavoidable fact of life.

(birds chirping) (crowd chattering) (gentle music) Could I have six pistachio cannoli and, um... Oh, and those look delicious.

Could I have six of those, please?

(server speaking in Italian) (passerby speaks in Italian) (Sylvia speaks in Italian) (gentle music) (ticket rips) - [Sylvia] Seriously?

- [Bevilacqua] Signora.

(traffic humming) (motorcycle engine revving) (bright music) (bright music continues) (bright music continues) (bright music continues) (bright music fades) (phone beeping and vibrating) (suspenseful music) (suspenseful music continues) (motorcycle engine revving) (suspenseful music) - [Mallory] I couldn't think who else to call.

- What did they take?

- Tools, equipment, waterproof clothing.

It'll all have to be replaced.

(suspenseful music) (suspenseful music continues) It's not good, is it?

- "Foreign grave diggers."

Oh, Mallory, I'm sorry.

- [Elena] Signora.

- Oh, God.

It's Elena, the housekeeper.

She's like my mother, only worse.

(Elena speaking in Italian) - Who did this?

- [Mallory] We don't know, Signora Decone.

(Elena speaking in Italian) - [Mallory] This is my friend Sylvia.

She lives in Panicale.

- I've never seen her.

- My sister is married to the medico.

Matteo Vitale?

- Ah.

(sighs) God rest the marchese's soul.

This would never have happened in his time.

- Maybe you should go to the Carabinieri?

- No!

It's vandalism, that's all.

Kids with nothing better to do.

- Has there been something else?

- A couple of nasty letters.

- [Sylvia] Can I see them?

- Well, I've destroyed them.

That's what you do with poison pens, isn't it?

- Signora Decone- - [Elena] Mm.

- Could you lend us some scrubbing brushes?

(brushes scrapping) (Elena speaking in Italian) (brushes scrapping) - So you came here for a wedding, you went for a run, and you seen an old ruin and you decided to buy it, just like that?

- Pretty much.

- God!

Sounds like the plot of a chick-lit novel.

It's obviously left you strapped for cash.

I mean, you don't even have a car.

(light dramatic music) - Are you still at Exeter?

- No, I've been at Marlowe Hill for a couple of years.

It's a private college in North Carolina, very wealthy and prestigious.

I'm in line for a full professorship.

- Oh, congratulations.

- Thank you.

You know, the Templars came here in 1120, which makes this the oldest Templar foundation in Italy.

(brushes scrapping) (light dramatic music) (Bevilacqua clears throat) - There was a report of graffiti on a historic landmark.

- Yes, we've been cleaning it off.

- Mm.

You are the foreign archeologist?

- No, I am.

- [Bevilacqua] Ah.

May I see your permit?

- Oh, yes.

(birds chirping) Here it is.

(paper rustling) - This should have been presented at the town hall before the works commenced.

- I'll sort it out as soon as I can.

(birds chirping) Who's he?

- His name's Bevilacqua.

He's a vigile urbano, a glorified traffic warden, basically.

But you probably shouldn't get on the wrong side of him.

- What, he's got a right side?

(both laughing) (bright music) - Mm, smells delicious.

What is it?

- Ossobuco alla Milanese.

- Where did you learn to cook it?

- I found the recipe online.

(Antonella speaking in Italian) - Only a little for me.

- Mama.

(birds chirping) Only a lot for me.

(Matteo chuckles) - [Isabel] Mm.

- [Matteo] Okay.

Thank you.

- Mm.

(birds chirping) Mm, sorry.

I'm starving.

Mallory doesn't do lunch beaks.

- Ah, I see.

(chuckles) But it was good of you to help your friend out, but do you have to go back tomorrow?

- Especially as you can't stand her.

- I've never been on a dig before.

And it gets me out of the house.

- And?

- And someone seems to want to stop Mallory.

I want to find out why.

- Mm.

Did you meet old Elena at the castle?

- Mm.

She seemed a bit stuck in the past.

- The past is all she knows.

She's part of the curse of that place.

- Mm.

Elena's family helped the Nazis loot the castle's treasures in 1944.

Everything was shipped to Berlin and they went with it.

- So Elena dedicated her life to try and atone for them.

(Matteo chuckles) Mm.

This is not bad for foreign food.

- [Matteo] Foreign means not from Umbria.

Or not from Panicale if Mama's having a bad day.

(group laughing) (calm music) (calm music continues) (calm music continues) (calm music continues) (calm music fades) (birds chirping) (gentle music) (motorcycle engine revving) (gentle music continues) (birds chirping) (wheelbarrow clunking) (birds chirping) - [Mallory] You're late.

We started hours ago.

- Dock it from my wages.

(crowd faintly chattering) (brush scrapping) (birds chirping) (Sylvia sighs) You really love this, don't you?

- It's all I've ever wanted to do.

(birds chirping) (workers chattering) (tools scrapping) (Sylvia sighs) (worker faintly speaking) (tool scrapping) (suspenseful music) - [Sylvia] Mallory.

(suspenseful music) (suspenseful music continues) - Oh my God.

This could be a Templar graveyard.

- I hope you're right.

But if there's even a chance that it might be a recent burial, we have to tell the Carabinieri.

- Oh, don't be ridiculous.

- I'm gonna tell them unless you are.

- No!

It'll just mean pointless delays!

- I'm sorry, Mallory, but we have to report it.

- I am in charge here!

(officer speaking in Italian) (Sylvia speaking speaking in Italian) (suspenseful music) (suspenseful music continues) - I should have guessed when they said an English woman had found a body.

- This one was in the ground.

- You dug it up?

- Not all of it, just the hand.

- [Riva] Hmm.

(Riva speaking in Italian) (officer speaking in Italian) - So, the body appears to be lying in a shallow grave.

- [Mallory] Do you know how old?

- No.

Too soon to say.

The pathologist has uncovered more bones.

He thinks the remains are female.

- [Sylvia] So, not a Templar knight then?

- Oh, the exhumation, uh, will take a couple of days, I think, at least.

- Days?

What about my work?

- I'm sorry, Signora.

- Your dig is a potential crime scene, Mallory.

(birds chirping) - Well, you were right to call us.

Thank you.

- Did Mallory tell you about the graffiti and the vandalizing of her equipment, and the anonymous letters?

- No.

(birds chirping) - Do you think someone was trying to stop her finding the body?

- Maybe.

Or maybe it's, uh, the ghost of a Templar knight who wants to be left in peace.

(mob chattering) (mob continues chattering) (mob continues chattering) - What's going on?

- They're saying the body is someone called Ornella.

(mob chattering) (suspenseful music) (Antonella speaking in Italian) - It was 25, maybe 30 years ago.

Ornella Pannacci was 16 years old.

(Antonella speaking in Italian) One night in July, her father and brothers went out hunting in the hills and she vanished.

The father ran a demolition business.

They all lived there.

Signor Pannacci and his sons got back at dawn and she was gone.

No bags, no clothes taken.

All her possessions were still there.

The whole village turned out to look for her, of course we did.

People came from all around.

They even brought police from Perugia with dogs.

They took them to the house of the main suspect, a man named Sabatini, and the dogs went wild, but they didn't find anything.

(dramatic music) Everyone was convinced Sabatini was her killer.

(dramatic music) (glass shatters) (dog barking) (vigilantes yelling in Italian) - Ah!

(vigilantes yelling in Italian) (dog barking) (dramatic music fades) - Hey.

- Ah.

Ciao, Bernardo.

- Ciao.

(Bernardo speaking in Italian) - Thanks.

(Bernardo speaks in Italian) - Here, here.

(speaks in Italian) (Sylvia speaks in Italian) - What's the news?

- Mm.

Somebody attacked Carlo Sabatini's house last night, the guy who killed Ornella.

- Was he hurt?

- [Bernardo] Must have been.

Dottore Matteo was there first thing.

- Oh.

(Bernardo speaking in Italian) (Bernardo chuckles) (birds chirping) - It was a young woman out for a run who heard the dog howling and went to check.

Sabatini was semi-conscious.

- How is he?

- Mm, I wanted him to go to the hospital for some tests, but he refused.

He's tough, very tough.

He'll survive.

- Were you living in Panicale when Ornella disappeared?

- I had just come back.

- Do you think Sabatini killed her?

- I don't know, my dear.

I really don't know.

But I can see why people think he did.

He was Ornella's brothers' friend, and a couple of people saw him near the Pannaccis' demolition yard the night she disappeared.

- What's he like?

- Sylv.

- Just curious.

- [Matteo] Thank you.

- Here, let me get that.

- [Sylvia] Mm.

(birds chirping) (pensive music) - You could do me a favor.

I told Sabatini to come to the surgery to pick up some antibiotics, but I'm sure he won't.

You could take them out to him.

You might even persuade him to take them.

(calm music) (calm music) - [Sylvia] Signor Sabatini?

- Ah.

- My name's Sylvia.

Dottore Vitale asked me to stop by and give you this.

Antibiotics to stop your wound from getting infected.

Signor?

(insects chirping) Your garden's very lovely.

I've just moved to Panicale.

I'm looking for a gardener.

- I don't work for other people.

- But you worked up at the castle, didn't you?

(dog panting) - You're not looking for a gardener.

You came here to look at the monster.

Now you've seen him, you can go away.

- Everyone's saying that it's Ornella Pannacci that's buried up at the castle.

Do you think they're right?

(suspenseful music) - No.

(suspenseful music) (dog panting) (tool thuds) (Sabatini speaking in Italian) (dog barking) (suspenseful music) (door creaks slams) (pensive music) (motorcycle engine revving) (pensive music) (door clicks) (pensive music) (bag rustling) (door slams) (dramatic music) (motorcycle engine revving) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (Sylvia speaking in Italian) - I've just bought a house in Panicale.

I, I'm looking to demolish some of the outbuildings, and I wondered if your company would be able to help.

- We are closed.

(Giuseppe speaking in Italian) - I am Giuseppe.

I am sorry about my brother, but we, we recently heard some bad news.

- Oh, God!

The name.

Are you related to Ornella Pannacci?

- She was our sister.

- [Sylvia] I'm so sorry.

- They better get the bastard this time.

- [Sylvia] Which bastard?

- Carlo Sabatini.

You must be new here.

Everyone knows about Carlo Sabatini.

- You think this Sabatini killed your sister?

- Of course he did.

He used to hang around here when we were younger.

(Giuseppe speaking in Italian) (Giuseppe sighs) He was not right in the head: Sabatini.

Hardly talked, stood around like a big dummy.

(sighs) But we felt sorry for him, me and Andrea.

We'd all been in school together, you know, so we let him come over, drink beer, watch football.

But my father never liked it.

He wouldn't let Ornella anywhere near Sabatini.

- Why not?

- The way he used to look at her, like he wanted something from her.

After she disappeared, Papa never got over losing Ornella.

I think that's what killed him in the end.

(Giuseppe sighs) We lost him five years ago.

- I hope you can find some peace now, one way or another.

- Thank you, Signora.

We appreciate that.

I'm sorry we cannot help you.

(suspenseful music) (dogs barking) (Giuseppe speaking in Italian) (suspenseful music) (dogs barking) (pensive music) (birds chirping) (pensive music continues) (Sabatini straining) (objects clattering) (hammer thudding) (faint upbeat music) (rubble crashing) (faint upbeat music) (objects clattering) - Signora!

We are going to clear out the big fireplace now.

- Are you telling me that I should go out for the rest of the day?

- Eh, it's going to get a little dusty and a little loud.

(motorcycle engine revving) (footsteps shuffling) - [Elena] Mamma mia.

(speaking in Italian) (Valentino chuckles) - Hello.

- Ciao.

Valentino Infante.

And you are?

- [Sylvia] Sylvia Fox.

(Elena speaking in Italian) - Yes, I was with Mallory Bell when the body was found.

(Elena speaking in Italian) - [Sylvia] Are you the marchese?

- Oh, no, no.

No, thank God.

That died with my grandfather.

My mother was his only child, so the castle came to me.

- You would have had the title, if only your mother had been a boy.

- This is an intriguing collection.

- Protest art, I think you'd call it.

Dates back to 1945.

My grandfather put up these signs as part of a campaign to try and get the Germans to return everything after the war.

- Did he have any luck?

- A few items found their way back.

(pensive music) (Elena clears throat) (pensive music continues) - Poor Elena.

She still feels the shame.

She makes it her duty to remind me of how precious this castle is to the village, but I can't afford to keep it on.

(pensive music) - Not what you were expecting when you came to Monterosa.

- What are you doing here?

- Checking you're okay.

- Thanks.

I'm not.

(birds chirping and cawing) - Why don't you go away for a few days?

To Rome or Florence.

I'll let you know when you can start work again.

- Are you trying to get rid of me?

- Of course not.

I'm worried about you.

- Well, it's a bit late for that now, isn't it?

- At least let me buy you a drink.

(crowd chattering) (vehicle engine droning) - Oh.

- To your tenure.

Professor until they cart you out in a box?

- Oh, please don't mock me, Sylvia Fox.

- I wasn't.

(Mallory sighs) - I'm not getting my professorship at the end of the month.

The university doesn't even know that I'm here.

I didn't credit a colleague in a paper that I published, and it's all blown up.

And now I am on unpaid leave until they decide my position.

- Oh, Mallory.

I'm sorry.

- Please don't Mallory me.

I, I just wanted to find another Templar site, the oldest one in Italy.

(Giuseppe speaking in Italian) (Bevilacqua speaking in Italian) (Roberto speaking in Italian) (Bevilacqua speaking in Italian) (Bevilacqua sighs) (crowd faintly chattering) (Bevilacqua chuckles) (bottle top clinks) (Hamdani speaks in Italian) (crowd chattering) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (Bevilacqua speaking in Italian) (Giuseppe speaking in Italian) (Bevilacqua speaking in Italian) (Giuseppe speaks in Italian) (Hamdani speaks in Italian) - [Hamdani] Stop!

(chair scrapes) - Did you know that today is the queen of England's official birthday?

Yes, our queen is so important that she has two birthdays.

So how about you all join me in celebrating and I buy everyone a drink?

- Thanks, Signora, but I'm leaving.

- Drinks all round, then.

(crowd chattering) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (Riva speaking in Italian) (Riva speaking in Italian) (bell tolling) (footsteps shuffling) (vehicle engine droning) - Hamdani says thank you for saving him from himself.

- Does he?

- Oh, he will, when he's calmed down.

- He did well to keep his cool.

- You know, Bevilacqua comes from a long line of little men.

His grandfather Antonio was a partisan in the war and called himself the hero of Panicale for shooting up a couple of Germans.

And Bevilacqua thinks he can act like the king.

- Oh.

What a weasel.

(traffic droning) - Can I walk with you?

- Giuseppe Pannacci was with Bevilacqua at the bar, and outside the town hall earlier.

- Well, it's a small village.

Everybody knows everybody.

- I've met the Pannacci brothers.

- [Riva] Mm-hmm.

- There's something not right there.

- Ah, their sister was murdered.

Of course something is not right.

- It's more than that.

They're hiding something.

I think Andrea might have something to say, if only his brother will let him.

(light music) - Uh, why are you so interested in Ornella Pannacci?

She disappeared 25 years before you came to Panicale.

- I found her body.

- Yeah, but it's not your job to find her killer.

(light dramatic music) - I need to know.

(light dramatic music) Well, I'm this way.

The house is still a wreck.

(Riva speaking in Italian) (Sylvia speaking in Italian) (light dramatic music) (bell tolling) - [Sylvia] God knows how much the building works are gonna cost in the end.

- [Isabel] Yeah.

Is there any news on your flat yet?

- Ah, yes.

I got an offer yesterday.

I forgot to tell you in all the excitement.

- Brilliant.

(glasses clink) - Mm.

Delicious lemonade.

- Mm.

- Just what I needed.

- Do you remember that holiday in Wales, one with the enormous beach and the sea mist?

- (gasps) Yes.

With the cafe that sold the best lemon ice lollies that Mum loved.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- That's where Dad taught me to swim.

- No, no.

No, that was years after.

In fact, I don't, I don't think he ever came on holiday with us even before.

- Yes, he did.

I remember jumping through the waves with him and him holding on to me and telling me to kick.

- That must have been Uncle David.

I mean, we sometimes went on holiday with him and our cousins.

Definitely wasn't Dad.

(birds chirping) (lively music) (lively music continues) (lively music continues) (Sylvia speak in Italian) - Good afternoon, Sylvia.

I'm glad I've caught you.

We must start those cookery lessons.

- Soon, I promise.

(chuckles) - I know.

You've been busy at the castle.

- Ah, yes.

Actually, I wanted to ask you something.

When I was there, I noticed Elena Decone looking at a photo of one of the missing artworks.

- You mean "La Marchesa."

That painting was 500 years old, the pride of the village.

Rumors has it, it was Elena's older sister who took it.

It was her ticket to Germany.

It broke Elena's heart.

(birds chirping) (footsteps shuffling) - Oh, don't worry, These cakes aren't for me.

They're for my builders.

- Ah.

- To keep them sweet.

- Okay.

(laughs) (Sylvia speaks in Italian) - Ciao, Sylvia.

- Ciao.

Ciao.

- Ciao.

(knife scrapping) (birds chirping) (car engines revving) (car engines continue revving) (knife knocks) (car engine idling) (dishes clatter) (Riva speaking in Italian) (birds chirping) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (birds chirping) - [Riva] Oh.

(suspenseful music) (Riva speaking in Italian) (suspenseful music) (birds chirping)\ (suspenseful music continues) (birds continue chirping) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (officer speaks in Italian) (Hamdani speaks in Italian) (suspenseful music) (dog panting) (Riva speaks in Italian) (cover rustling) (Riva speaks in Italian) (dog barking) (Riva speaking in Italian) (Sabatini speaking in Italian) (Riva speaking in Italian) (Hamdani speaks in Italian) (Riva speaks in Italian) (suspenseful music) (suspenseful music continues) (suspenseful music continues) (birds chirping) (mob clamoring) (mob member speaks in Italian) (car engines revving) (mob clamoring) (mob members yelling in Italian) (mob clamoring) (Giuseppe speaks in Italian) (mob member speaks in Italian) (Giuseppe speaks in Italian) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (Giuseppe speaks in Italian) (mob member speaks in Italian) (Bevilacqua speaks in Italian) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (Bevilacqua speaking in Italian) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (Giuseppe speaking in Italian) (Bevilacqua speaking in Italian) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (mob clamoring) - Has there been some new evidence found against Signor Sabatini?

- A pot of red paint in his shed, same pigmentation as the graffiti you found at the castle.

- You exposed him to all this because he owns a tin of red paint?

- There were other factors which I'm not at liberty to disclose.

(Sabatini sighs) - Who's she?

our nurse?

- No, no.

She's just a good Samaritan.

But I warn you, resistance is futile.

- Ah.

- [Sylvia] Is there someone who'll feed your dog if you have to be away?

- The farmer next door.

- Good.

When Ornella disappeared and everyone was saying you killed her, why did you stay in Panicale?

Why didn't you just leave?

- I was born here.

Where would I go?

- [Sylvia] You were very sure that it wasn't Ornella at the castle.

Is that because you know where she is?

(Sabatini speaks in Italian) (Hamdani speaking in Italian) (suspenseful music) - You're arresting him?

I thought you were just bringing him in for questioning?

What's changed?

- Oh, Sabatini has owned a truck for nearly 30 years, and at some point, interior was cleaned with bleach.

But luminol testing showed up blood stains on the back seat and on the passenger door.

(sighs) The DNA is a match for Ornella Pannacci.

(dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (crowd chattering) (dramatic music continues) (crowd continues chattering) - You knew her, didn't you?

(crowd chattering) (birds chirping) - Listen.

I was born here, I went to school here.

When I came back from the medical school, I got my first job here, 25 years ago last month.

- Was Ornella one of your patients?

(Matteo speaking in Italian) - For a few weeks before she went missing, she was complaining of bad headaches.

I thought something was going on at home.

She had a couple of bruises.

Falls, she said.

They lived in a demolition yard so it seemed plausible.

She was very anxious, withdrawn.

Her father accompanied her to every appointment.

(Matteo sighs) I was young, green, I didn't say anything to anyone.

I didn't know what to do and I didn't do anything.

And then it was too late.

(sighs) (dramatic music) (birds chirping) - [Sylvia] Good morning.

(Salvatore speaks in Italian) - [Sylvia] I'm off to Rome.

You'll lock up when you leave?

- [Salvatore] Of course.

- A new car?

- Yes.

I thought it was time I had one of my own.

- Very nice.

- Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

- [Luca] See you.

(dramatic music) (birds chirping) (Salvatore speaking in Italian) (dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) - [Raffaella] I was surprised when you called, and that you're still here.

- [Sylvia] I'm a bit surprised too.

(skateboard rattling) - I have the police report you asked for.

Giuseppe Pannacci has a couple of convictions for affray and Andrea has one for criminal damage.

Their father Alfredo had some convictions for minor offenses, but what is interesting is the number of accusation against him that didn't get to court.

- Such as?

- Well, he was investigated twice for assaulting his wife, but the charges were dropped when she refused to testify.

She died when the children were quite young.

Cancer.

- How did Alfredo die?

- Alcohol-related illness.

One more thing.

Someone called the local children charity in Umbria three times before Ornella disappeared.

The calls only lasted (scoffs) three seconds.

The caller just hung up.

- Ornella?

- [Raffaella] Someone in the house.

- [Sylvia] Any chance you could do me another favor?

(suspenseful music) (Giuseppe faintly speaking) (dog barking) (keyboard clacking) (suspenseful music) (phone ringing) (Giuseppe speaking in Italian) (suspenseful music) (suspenseful music continues) - [Sylvia] Ciao, Andrea.

- Not meant to talk to you.

- Why not?

- You're not from here.

- But that's why you can talk to me.

Carlo Sabatini was a friend of yours, wasn't he?

Do you really think he hurt your sister?

- They say he did.

- But your father was a violent man, wasn't he?

Did he beat Ornella?

- I, I don't know anything about that.

(birds chirping) (Andrea shakily breathing) (tense music) No.

No, no, no.

Please, no.

(tense music) (door squeaking) (tense music) - Did your father use to shut you in here?

- When he was angry or, or drunk.

He did it to Ornella mostly.

- Why was that, do you think?

- Because she looked like our mother.

(suspenseful music) - Do you remember the night Ornella went missing?

Your father said you went hunting, you and him and Giuseppe.

Was your father with you the whole time?

Andrea, do you think your father killed your sister?

- I don't know.

(whimpers) - You called a children's helpline, didn't you?

(Giuseppe speaking in Italian) (tense music) - [Giuseppe] You need to disappear.

- Like Ornella?

Did your father go too far and kill Ornella?

Did you help him bury her at the castle?

- Do you ever shut up?

(menacing music) - There are four cameras in this yard, two of them are pointing at us.

- Cameras malfunction sometimes, recordings get erased.

- I have a friend who's very good with technology and her software never malfunctions.

(tense music) (motorcycle engine revving) (tense music) (phone vibrating) (Sylvia sighs) - [Raffaella] Sylvia, are you okay?

- Thanks, Raffaella.

I'm out of there.

(Sylvia sighs) (birds chirping) (Sylvia sighs) (birds chirping) (footsteps shuffling) (birds chirping) - Hiya.

(birds chirping) What's up?

- How old was I when dad left?

(birds chirping and cawing) - Oh, well, um, he didn't exactly leave.

He was away a lot and then one day, he just didn't come back.

You must have been about two, I think.

- Are you sure?

I thought I was older.

Five or six, maybe.

How can I possibly remember him if I was so young?

Because I do, really clearly.

- Your favorite game was where you were Sylvia and I had to be Dad, and you would tell me what to say and do.

And then when I got bored, you'd go off and play on your own.

In your version, he was the best dad ever.

- And in yours?

(pensive music) (pensive music continues) (pensive music continues) (pensive music continues) (pensive music continues) (Sylvia panting) (pensive music continues) (phone ringing) - Hello?

- So I have more information about those paintings you ask about.

- Okay.

- [Raffaella] Well, all of them were eventually traced to Germany, except one.

- "La Marchesa"?

- [Raffaella] That's it.

(Sylvia sighs) - Thanks, Raffaella.

(Sylvia heavily breathing) (pensive music) (birds chirping) Hey!

Hey!

I'm allowed to park there.

- If you look at the penalty notice, you will see that it does not relate to a parking violation.

- What?

- You are a non-EU resident driving an EU-registered vehicle.

You require separate insurance that you do not possess.

- But I live here.

- The penalty is 50 euros if you pay within 14 days, 100 any time after that.

(birds chirping) Good day, Signora!

(motorcycle engine cranks and revs) (dramatic music) (motorcycle engine cranks and revs) (dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) - Huh.

(phone ringing) Hi, Matteo.

- [Matteo] You'll never believe this.

- [Officer] Capitano.

- I've just been told.

The body is not Ornella's.

(Riva speaks in Italian) - But how do you know?

- Because of nuclear tests in the 1950s.

Well, they released so much carbon 14 into the atmosphere that the first thing you can tell when you analyze a set of bones is whether they are pre or post-1950.

These are pre.

- So they can't be Ornella's.

Then Sabatini is in the clear.

- Well, not quite.

Though without the body, we don't have enough evidence to charge him.

- But if it isn't Ornella buried at the castle, then where is she?

It means she's still a missing person.

- [Riva] Of course.

- So maybe she can be found this time?

- Maybe.

(knives scraping) - You have to bruise the leaves or the flavor doesn't come out.

No, not like that.

Don't slice, shave.

- Okay.

But wouldn't it be easier just to press the garlic?

- Easier, but wrong.

Imagine it's the vigile's fat head.

- (chuckles) Nothing escapes you, Antonella.

- Don't worry about Bevilacqua.

All the men in that family are assholes.

- I thought the grandfather was a war hero?

- Maybe.

(pot sizzling) - [Sylvia] White wine?

I thought red with lamb?

To drink, yes.

But when you cook with tomatoes, always white.

- You heard that the body at the castle isn't Ornella Pannacci?

- It's all everyone's talking about.

I was glad.

But then I thought about what it means.

- [Sylvia] That she's still out there.

- Buried somewhere else, maybe a long way from home.

Please.

- [Sylvia] Did you know Ornella?

- No.

But my neighbor's daughter Gabriella was friends with the (speaks in Italian).

- She must have been devastated when Ornella disappeared.

- [Antonella] Of course.

- Does Gabriella still live around here?

- [Antonella] In Perugia.

(calm music) (Gabriella speaks in Italian) - Hello.

(Gabriella speaking in Italian) - Can I help you?

- Ah, yes, I hope so.

I've just moved here, and my garden is completely wild.

- How exciting.

You can make it into anything you want.

- Maybe you know the place.

La Casa Vecchia.

It's just outside Panicale.

- [Gabriella] Mm.

- You are Gabriella, though, aren't you?

Didn't you used to live in Panicale?

- How do you know that?

- You were recommended to me by Antonella Vitale.

She said you know everything there is to know about gardens.

My sister is married to her son.

- Matteo?

Lucky woman.

- I know.

- [Sylvia] You were friends with Ornella Pannacci, weren't you?

(pensive music) Do you believe that she's dead?

- Why are you asking these questions?

- Matteo's been so upset about it.

It's brought back a lot of memories.

(pensive music) (bird cawing) - For years after Ornella disappeared, I kept seeing her in the street, at the supermarket, but it was always somebody else.

- Was there a reason you kept hoping?

(pensive music) (insects chirping) (pensive music continues) (insects continue chirping) (pensive music continues) (insects continue chirping) - I gave it to Ornella for her birthday, the last one before... I used to call her (speaks in Italian), little sunflower, because she'd light up the room.

(Sylvia and Gabriella chuckle) (pensive music) - She found it in her bicycle basket.

Did you put it there?

(insects and birds chirping) The police haven't given up on finding her, you know?

It's gonna hit the news any day now.

Ornella's picture will be everywhere.

(birds chirping) They will find her.

(birds chirping) - I'd forgotten.

- [Sylvia] What?

- I'll show you.

No one else, just you.

(birds chirping) You drive.

(dramatic music) - Okay.

Come on.

(dramatic music) (birds chirping) (dramatic music continues) (birds continue chirping) Where am I going?

- Left at the end.

- Away from Panicale?

(dramatic music) (car engine revving) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) Where are we going, Carlo?

You found Ornella in the demolition yard, didn't you?

(dramatic music) Her father had locked her in the outbuilding.

(dramatic music) She was bleeding.

Did you do something to her to make her get in your truck?

(dramatic music) Her blood was in your truck.

(dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) Where now?

Where did you take Ornella that night?

- [Sabatini] I can't tell you.

I can't tell you.

- [Sylvia] Why not?

- I made a promise!

(dramatic music) - [Sylvia] Carlo!

(Sabatini grunts) (dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music fades) (birds chirping) (suspenseful music) (motorcycle engine droning) (Bernardo speaking in Italian) (Sylvia speaks in Italian) (Bernardo speaks in Italian) - Have you delivered any letters to Signor Sabatini since he's been released?

- Oh, I never deliver to Sabatini.

- Then who does?

- Nobody.

After his first, uh, arrest, people sent him, uh, all stuff, uh, like knives, uh, nails.

All the postmen refuse to deliver.

- Well, then what's happened to his mail?

- Hmm.

It's kept at the post office for him to come and pick up if he wants, but he never does.

(dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) Be quick.

I'm not really supposed to.

(dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (keys clacking) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (Sylvia sighs) (notification beeps) (dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) - [Registrar] Signora?

(Sylvia speaking in Italian) - I'd like to look at some old marriage registers, please.

- [Registrar] From when?

- About 50 years ago, roughly.

(registrar speaks in Italian) (Sylvia speaks in Italian) (dramatic music) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (car engine revving) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) (dramatic music continues) - Tell me one good thing that happened this week.

- I got angry with that girl again, but I didn't hit her.

I didn't even shout.

- Well done.

(footsteps shuffling) (counselor speaking in Italian) See you next week, Pablo.

Bye.

(counselor speaking in Italian) (guardian speaking in Italian) (footsteps shuffling) (counselor speaking in Italian) (tender music) (car engine revving) (tender music continues) - Signor Sabatini, I've brought someone to see you.

I hope you don't mind.

(tender music) - (sighs) Carlo.

(tender music) (birds chirping) - Ornella?

(tender music) (Ornella sighs) - I had no idea.

And I can't believe you kept my secret for so long after all you suffered.

- It was worth it to get you away from your father.

I just wanted you to be safe.

- I tried to let you know.

- It doesn't matter now.

You're okay?

You have a good life?

(Ornella sighs) - Of course I struggled for a long time, but I got help, and now I give it.

I have a good life, Carlo, thanks to you.

(stirring music) (stirring music continues) (stirring music continues) (insects chirping) (stirring music fades) I remember the sound of the bolt being pulled back.

At first I thought it was my father come back to hit me again, but then I realized it was Carlo.

I barely knew him.

I'd said maybe three words to him.

And he picked me up and took me out of there.

I laid under a blanket until we were out of town.

Then we stopped at Gabriella's farm, and I asked him to leave my scarf for her, to show her I was okay.

We drove for hours.

I drifted in and out of consciousness, but every time I opened my eyes, he was there.

- Did you have a plan?

(Ornella sighs) - I'd been to Bologna once with Mama.

- Big city.

- Didn't want anyone to know.

I made Carlo promise.

And I changed my name, enrolled in school, and never looked back.

- You were very brave.

(Ornella sighs) - Um, Sylvia, what made you think I was still alive?

- I couldn't quite believe it of Carlo, and then the scarf and the postcard.

It was lucky you took your mother's maiden name or I would never have found you.

- And lucky that my father and brothers weren't as clever as you.

Do they know I'm here?

- [Sylvia] No.

It's up to you if you want to see them.

(Ornella sighs) - That last day, when I told my father to stop or I'd go to the police, he beat me so badly that I thought I was going to die.

And Andrea tried to stop him, but there was nothing he could do.

Giuseppe didn't even try.

(pensive music) - I think your brothers were terrified of your father too.

- So was Carlo, but that didn't stop him helping me.

(pensive music) (pensive music continues) (Ornella sighs) (gentle music) (gentle music continues) (phone ringing) - [Sylvia] Hello?

- Some forensics news, Signora Volpe.

(gentle music fades) (birds chirping) It seems that she was shot at a close range, judging from the bone splinters.

But they also found this in the earth packed into her chest cavity.

- What is it?

- The badge of La Brigata Garibaldi.

- [Elena] The partisans.

- Is there any record of any female partisan from the area who went missing in action?

- Uh, we are checking, but it's difficult.

A lot of people disappeared during the last years of the war, so... - She may not even have been from here.

Poor girl.

(Elena scoffs) - At least she died with honor.

(sighs) The shame of my family.

(birds chirping) (pensive music) I was the only one they left behind.

When I was young, my mother was always busy caring for the marchesa.

Adriana was, uh, 15 years older.

- [Sylvia] Your sister?

- Yes.

Yes.

She took the place of a mother for me.

She was much older, but she always had time to play.

(children laughing) I was three, four, and I hid in these gardens.

(chuckles) I had all, all the best hiding places.

(child speaking in Italian) - But Adriana always found me.

- Did you ever have a special hiding place, one that only you and Adriana knew about?

(pensive music) - [Elena] Yes.

(door creaking) (suspenseful music) (suspenseful music continues) (suspenseful music continues) (suspenseful music continues) (suspenseful music continues) - [Riva] What's this?

(Elena sighs) (Elena speaks in Italian) - "La Marchesa!"

- Your sister didn't steal "La Marchesa," Elena.

She saved her, hid the portrait somewhere no one would find it.

- But then why did she run away?

(suspenseful music) - I don't think she did run away.

I think she's been here all along, waiting for us to find her.

(Elena sobbing) (stirring music) (stirring music continues) (crowd chattering) (stirring music continues) (crowd continues chattering) (stirring music continues) (crowd continues chattering) - Thank you all for coming today.

We're celebrating the return of not just one, but two daughters of Panicale.

Doctor Ornella Masetti has returned to us after 25 years.

She's a distinguished citizen of Bologna now, but she'll always be one of our own.

And after almost 80 years in hiding, our renaissance treasure, "La Marchesa of Panicale," is finally back where she belongs.

This is also a homecoming for two people who've been wronged for far too long.

Carlo Sabatini was Ornella's savior.

(birds chirping) And Adriana Decone was accused of being a traitor.

Now we know that she gave her life to defend her freedom.

So it is with great pleasure that I ask Elena Decone to honor her sister's memory by unveiling the pride of Panicale: "La Marchesa."

(footsteps clicking) (attendees applauding) (attendees continue applauding) (attendees continue applauding) (calm music) And Bevilacqua has put in for a transfer.

- Thank God.

I can't afford any more parking tickets.

(Riva chuckles) - So you really think he was responsible for the graffiti?

Why?

- To stop Mallory finding Adriana.

- How would he know that she was there?

- I think his grandfather told him.

- Old man Bevilacqua was a partisan.

If he knew that the Nazis shot Adriana, he would have spoken out after the war.

- Unless he was a traitor and he shot Adriana because she wouldn't give up the picture, then changed his story after the war so that he became the hero.

(calm music) (Riva speaks in Italian) (calm music fades) (birds chirping) - So, Valentino has decided against selling up.

It's good news for Panicale, I think.

- All the excitement about the return of the painting seems to have inspired him.

- I must say, I found that so moving.

- Yeah.

And what about your dig, Mallory?

Can you get back to work now?

- No point, with term starting again next week.

When they heard that I was part of the recovery of "The Marchesa," Marlowe Hill have asked me back.

The professorship is still on the cards.

But Valentino said that I can come back at any time and dig.

You're welcome to tag along if you want, Sylvia.

(Sylvia chuckles) You too, Arabella.

- Ah, we'll bear that in mind, won't we, Arabella?

- Excellent.

(birds chirping) (both chuckle) (calm music) (dog panting) (calm music continues) - Ciao, Tesoro.

Ciao, ciao, ciao.

(Sabatini speaking in Italian) (Sabatini continues speaking in Italian) (pensive music) (pensive music continues) (pensive music continues) (pensive music fades) (birds chirping) - [Matteo] This was never- (Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) (Giorgio Gaber continues singing in Italian) (Riva and Sylvia speak in Italian) (Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) - Go, go, go.

(Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) - It's been a lovely evening.

Thank you.

- My pleasure.

(Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) - [Sylvia] I should find a taxi.

- I'm sorry I cannot invite you back to my place.

- It's okay.

(Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) (Riva sighs) - I live in the Carabinieri barracks and Hamdani is also on the same floor.

(Sylvia laughing) (Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) (Giorgio Gaber continues singing in Italian) (gentle music) (Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) (Giorgio Gaber continues singing in Italian) (Giorgio Gaber continues singing in Italian) (gentle music) (Giorgio Gaber singing in Italian) (Giorgio Gaber continues singing in Italian) (Giorgio Gaber continues singing in Italian) (gentle music) (gentle music fades) (insects chirping) (birds chirping) (insects continue chirping) (birds continue chirping) (no audio)
