Hello?
Hi, Franceso. Is this a bad time?
No, it's fine.
Had to get out of the shower sometime.
Hold on a minute, Franco.
You were saying, Franco?
Oh, nothing.
Just wanted to see how you were doing.
Heh.
You know how it is.
Life goes on.
Gnaghi!
Gna?
I've been calling you for hours!
It's Chigini, the surveyor.
Twelfth row, third grave, right?
Gna.
That's the one.
Here we are!
It might not be
the first time you've heard this,
but this time, it's definitive.
Dear Mr. Surveyor,
rest in peace.
What a waste of marble!
Wouldn't it be easier if the graves were just
piles of earth without covers?
Gna.
Damn it, another one!
The gun!
I left it back at the house!
Give me the shovel, Gnaghi.
Come on, what are you waiting for?!
Let go!
Give me that shovel!
Hungry!
See?
You deal with it, Gnaghi.
Gna.
My name is Francesco Dellamorte.
Odd name, huh?
I've thought about getting it changed.
Andrea Dellamorte would be much better, for example.
I'm the caretaker of Buffalora cemetery.
I don't know how the epidemic started.
All I know is that some corpses,
though luckily not all of them,
within seven days of their death,
come back to life one night
and become the walking dead.
I call them "Returners."
Even though I don't understand why they're so anxious to return.
The only way to get rid of them for good
is to smash their heads open
with a bullet or with something else.
Want some wine?
Gfia!
Is it the start of an invasion?
Is it happening in every cemetery?
Or is it specific to Buffalora?
Who knows.
And at the end of the day,
who cares?
I just do my job.
Good morning, Engineer!
Are you well, Engineer?
Yes thank you, Miss Chiaromondo. How about you?
The cemetery is open, isn't it?
Of course. For you, it's always open.
This is for you, you sweetheart!
How are you?
He's happy today.
He likes it when the sun's out.
I'm not an engineer!
And you're no sweetheart.
Poor Gnaghi.
On his ID card it says,
"Visible distinguishing marks: everything."
He has a real thing for dead leaves
and he hates it when the wind blows them away.
Heh.
We all do what we can to avoid thinking about life.
Ego sum resurrectio et vita
qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet
et omnis qui vivit et credit in me
non morietur in aeternum.
Requiescat in pace. Amen.
The most beautiful living person I've ever seen!
Damn.
Will I see her again?
I was just coming to change the water
for the flowers on your poor father's grave.
Husband.
How long has he been dead?
Nine days.
That's good!
- What?! - No, I...
My condolences.
Have you no respect for pain?
I know how these things go.
In time, the pain fades and...
It's not fading a bit!
He was a unique man!
An incredible lover.
Wonderful,
tireless.
He was fantastic!
Gna.
I messed it up.
I lost her.
Will I see her again?
BUFFALORA TOWN HALL
Hey, Franco!
Franco used to sit next to me at school.
He's the only living person who ever phones me.
Now and again I stop by his office
to remind myself what he looks like.
You can't live on memories alone.
Sign that, as usual.
You got a pen?
No. Hold on a sec. There you go.
Dellamorte.
Any more nocturnal visitors?
A couple, yeah.
It's all overtime.
Who's going to pay me for all the extra work?
Speak to the mayor.
Yeah right. Then what?
What if they close the cemetery?
Goodbye, job and goodbye, house.
Come on, who do you think would believe you?
I don't care if you don't believe me, Franco.
You're not the one who pays me.
Come on, of course I believe you.
Anyway, you're right.
Get him to pay you the overtime.
Yeah.
Right, let's go see the mayor.
- It's not that easy. - Here we go...
You need to fill out an M3 form, as per regulations.
M3 form... M3 form...
Where did I put it?
I can rush it through for you.
It's easier just to shoot them.
Francesco! Found it.
- Look who it is! - The grave digger.
Don't come around here, right?
At a certain point in life you realize
you know more dead people than living ones.
I'm sorry I was a bit indelicate the other day.
My name's Francesco Dellamorte.
Even with my degree in biology, this was the only job I was able to get!
But then, everybody ends up here sooner or later.
They give me a house.
Would you like to see it?
I don't live alone. I have an assistant, Gnaghi.
He's a real conversationalist.
The cemetery's small but it has a wonderful ossuary.
An ossuary!
After you.
I've never seen anything so...
exciting!
Me neither.
It's just like in my dreams.
This is my dream.
I couldn't ask for anything more!
Neither could I.
You know something?
You've got a really lovely ossuary.
Thanks.
You'll let me come again, won't you?
Will you let me kiss you just once?
No.
Not like this.
Like this.
No!
I must be faithful to the memory of my husband!
I can't.
It's not my fault.
It's this place.
It gives strange shivers.
It's not fear or the cold.
It's this place.
It's making me...
I don't want to. No.
I don't want to! No.
I can't!
Don't be afraid.
They're just will-o'-the-wisps.
Why here?
Right on your husband's grave?
I never kept anything from him.
We had a beautiful relationship.
He'd rather have known.
Well,
if you're sure...
All these lights!
Let them watch.
What's more beautiful than two lovers making love?
I just meant we could have a bit of privacy.
Sorry, madame wants only the stars.
It's never felt like this before
with anybody else.
Only with you.
No one will ever make us part!
Gnaghi! The gun!
Listen to me, I can explain!
You were always so understanding!
When I was alive!
It's over, my love.
It's over.
Oh, good job!
Now that I don't need it anymore!
Gna...
Don't just stand there, go call the doctor!
Get the doctor! Go!
Hurry!
Nothing will separate us, nothing.
I swear it! Nothing!
No one can separate us. Right?
No one, my love. No one.
Not even death.
Mr. Dellamorte? Are you home?
Dellamorte!
Jesus, you scared the life out of me!
Looking for me, Captain Straniero?
Yes. Dr. Vercesi called.
What happened last night?
You know what happened. She's dead.
I know she's dead, but how did it happen?
It was her husband.
Sure it was!
He came out of his tomb, raped her, then bit her to death, right?
No, he didn't rape her.
A chat with you always cheers me up.
Ah, Dr. Vercesi. Spying on us?
No. Here's the death certificate.
Cardiac arrest.
It wasn't the bite that killed her.
She died while she was...
doing it.
Know what that means, my boy?
I'll have to look elsewhere for the murderous lunatic.
You're no longer a suspect.
Why not?
You know why not.
Don't make me say it!
You can say it if you like. I'm not ashamed.
I'm impotent.
Don't use that word. A young man like you!
Did she have family?
No. No family, no friends.
Oh, Holy Mary...
Damn it! Now the rain too.
- Can I keep her here?
If you pay for the funeral,
you can do whatever you want.
Heavens above!
The bad weather's back, at last!
There's one thing I can't forgive myself for.
I lied to you.
I don't have a degree in biology.
I didn't even finish high school.
I haven't read more than two books in my whole life.
One of them
I never finished.
The other was the phone book.
I don't want her to become a Returner.
I don't want to see her again.
No!
- Not you! - Yes, my love.
Don't make me do it.
Why not? You do it so well.
Not with you.
It'll be better with me than with other women.
Gna?
What do you want?
Carry on with it.
Get a move on!
If you finish quickly, I'll take you into town for an ice cream.
Gfia!
Hey, look who it is!
The two undertakers!
Look at them! One's impotent and the other's an idiot!
Guys, leave them alone!
You know he hasn't got one!
You mean it doesn't work!
He should get an operation. That way he can become a woman!
Gna! Gna!
What do you care? It was me who started that rumor.
The more they laugh at me, the further away they seem.
You can never be too different.
Well, you might be the exception.
Engineer!
Engineer! Engineer!
Have a seat, join us!
Sit here.
What a pleasant surprise.
It's a miracle to have you here with us, Engineer!
It's a miracle to see you here, Mayor Scanarotti.
So, how are things down at our cemetery?
How's it going, eh?
Just as you'd expect. The population keeps shrinking.
I envy you, my dear engineer.
You can't imagine how much work there is at the town hall.
Especially now that the elections are upon us!
You can imagine.
My dear Madam, the next elections will be a vote for renewal.
Daddy, what is this?
That is my assistant, Gnaghi.
He's so cute!
Will you buy him for me, Daddy?
Aw, look!
He even knows how to cry.
Gnaghi, keep your distance.
You should probably move back, miss.
Tell your daughter to move, Mr. Mayor.
Sure, sure.
Every time Gnaghi gets a bit emotional...
What's he doing? Dancing?
No, he's not dancing.
He's about to throw up.
What are you doing on the ground, Valentina?
He threw up on me, Claudio!
Huh, cool!
Come on, let's go for a ride.
Yeah, good idea.
Go! Go! Go!
Well, I'll be going too.
One of these days, we need to talk in private about the cemetery.
Young people today are so... exuberant!
Come on, Gnaghi, get in! Don't be like that.
Come on, get in!
It's not the end of the world.
She didn't even get mad!
She realized it was just a show of affection.
And besides,
it wasn't the first time you've thrown up over a woman, right?
Gfia!
It was the first time?
Listen...
Your first love doesn't mean anything.
It's your last love that counts.
Sweetheart... Oh!
It was so boring here today.
Nobody came, not even the admiral.
Such a handsome widower!
I won't give up, though. I'll be back tomorrow!
Come again and stay longer.
Such a distinguished man, that admiral.
And so nice.
He always used to bring me a bit of Sambuca!
Come on, Gnaghi!
You'll get over it, just like everything else.
Time passes,
but things never stay the same.
They keep getting worse.
Cheering you up is hard work.
How can you fancy the Mayor's daughter?
She's just a child.
Gfia!
No, you're not.
You're not a child. You're thirty-three years old, Gnaghi.
One year older than me.
You need to grow up.
You'll see.
One day you'll find another poor creature like yourself.
Anyway, what do you care?
They all end up here sooner or later, Gnaghi.
Often sooner rather than later.
Faster! Go faster!
I don't wanna have your dad on my back!
- Race you! - You're on!
Go, Claudio! Let's show them!
Four motorcycles.
The Mayor's daughter was on one of them.
Her head was sliced right off. They had to sew it back on.
They crashed into a bus carrying boy scouts
coming back from a day trip with the church.
The slaughter of the innocent!
A bloodbath of young people.
Yeah.
They thought they had their whole lives ahead of them,
but their lives were actually behind them.
You've got plenty of work, Dellamorte.
More than you know.
Gnaghi, let's stock up on bullets.
Claudio! Claudio!
Take me with you! Don't leave me here!
Claudio! Come and get me, take me with you!
Oh no, you don't, dear!
You weren't my Claudio's girl!
He was promised to the Mayor's daughter!
But he loved me!
Liar!
Liar! Have you no respect for a mother's pain?
We're born to die.
Just to die. Isn't it terrible?
Just yesterday she was alive, Engineer. And happy.
Do you remember?
She took it so well when dear Gnaghi threw up on her!
And now, she's gone.
And when? Right before the elections!
I'll get the pickaxe and shovel.
Valentina.
Is it true what they say?
That at night the dead come back to life here?
Who told you that?
Is it true or not? Is it true or not?!
What if it is?
I've got to see Claudio again, please!
I have to know whether he loved me or her.
If I hear anything, I'll let you know.
No, wait!
Go home. I haven't got time for the living.
Gnaghi?
Gnaghi!
Gnaghi, wake up!
They're already here!
Gnaghi!
Gnaghi, look out!
I'm sorry Gnaghi.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Okay. We need to be ready to go in five minutes.
Bye!
Gna.
That idiot!
She's come looking for him.
Hey!
Visiting hours are over!
No one's going to take me away from him!
Leave me alone!
Get away from there, quick!
No! Claudio, Claudio, Claudio!
Claudio, my love!
Don't go!
That little fool!
Come on!
Wait! Wait!
Claudio, take me with you!
Tell me I'm the only one you love!
Damn it, it's always the same.
It pulls to the right when it's cold.
Gnaghi!
No, please, don't.
He's only eating me!
Get out of the way.
Mind your own business!
I can let whoever I want eat me!
It's my business.
It's what they pay me to do.
Living dead or dying living, we're all the same.
All cut from the same cloth.
Killing a dead person is a public service,
but kill someone who's still alive,
and you're in trouble.
Wait.
This way, they'll be together forever.
I'm a romantic.
Patience, Gnaghi.
In love, it's the waiting that's the best part.
You have to learn how to wait.
What's your name?
Gna.
I'm Valentina.
Haven't I seen you before?
Oh, yeah. Now I remember.
You threw up on me.
How sweet!
I like shy boys, though.
And anyway, you should never turn down a Kiss.
Come on, try again.
I'm not in any position to refuse.
But I don't think I'd refuse anyway.
False alarm!
It was just a live cat.
There's no point in trying to help me.
If I can't do it, how could you?
See, completing this skull
is one of the most difficult things in the world.
Do you know how disgusting you are when you eat, Gnaghi?
Gna.
Yeah, you're right.
It all ends up mixed together in your stomach.
But you're still disgusting.
What is there to eat?
Now that isn't a cat.
We can't! You're dead.
And I'm alive.
I'm not prejudiced, my love.
It was me who killed her.
Gna.
I killed her! No!
Yes, I killed her.
There's no other explanation.
The first time, when her husband bit her, she wasn't really dead.
It was just a case of apparent death.
When she woke up and I shot her, she was still alive.
I killed her.
I killed the only woman I ever loved.
I closed my eyes when I fired
and I didn't hit her brain.
That's why she came back.
God, what an idiot!
Now I'm infected, too.
Will I be a Returner when I die?
Who knows if Gnaghi...
No, poor Gnaghi!
He'd never have the guts to smash in my skull with his shovel.
Hey!
I'm not dead, you idiot!
You can't die from a bite!
Good morning, Engineer!
Miss Chiaromondo, I'm not an engineer.
Are you or are you not the caretaker of this cemetery?
I am. So?
That means you're an engineer. By the way...
Which of these two photos would you put on my tomb, Engineer?
Both.
I wanted the opinion of a handsome young man like you.
Goodbye, Engineer!
That's the phone directory!
Have you lost your mind?
You know it's my favorite reading material!
Gna.
Gnaghi, even if they've brought the new one,
why do we have to throw the old one away?
Is that how you respect the classics?!
Gnaghi!
Gfia!
Stop killing the dead.
They're already mine.
If you don't want the dead coming back to life,
why don't you just kill the living by shooting them in the head?
Are you listening to me?
Hello?
Hi, Francesco.
Franco! How are you?
- Am I disturbing you? - No, it's always nice to hear from you.
It was nothing, I just wanted to say hello.
- You never call. - Gnaghi, the door!
So what's new?
What was that noise?
Nothing, I'm just working.
You know how it is.
The same old routine. The same old boring routine.
You're telling me. Some days I could shoot myself.
How are your wife and daughter?
- They're fine. - What are their names?
Mara and Cinzia, right?
Sometimes I wonder if they really exist, Franco.
I mean, you do have a wife and daughter, don't you?
No, no, I'm just asking.
Are we sure I didn't just imagine this daughter of yours?
She keeps you busy, eh?
Ha, I bet she drives you nuts!
I know, I know.
One day you'll get away from here forever
and Buffalora will be nothing
but a horrible memory.
No, it'll never happen.
Don't worry, Franco.
Over time, Mara will get tired of you.
And Cinzia will grow up to hate you.
Then you'll be free!
Free to see what the rest of the world is like.
How do you imagine the rest of the world, Francesco?
The rest of the world?
Who knows if the rest of the world even exists.
Sometimes I try to get a head start with my work.
Work.
Dellamorte?
Dellamorte!
Gnaghi!
Francesco Dellamorte,
where were you last night between 11:00 and 12:307?
In bed.
Any witnesses?
I was talking to my friend Franco on the telephone and I fell asleep.
Why, what happened?
Some crazy asshole killed seven people in town.
Which means more work for me.
Or jail, unless you have an alibi.
Why me?
Your car was seen driving around the streets.
That's impossible. No one can drive that wreck except me.
Oh yeah?
I don't actually think it was you.
I think it was your assistant.
Gnaghi? He can't even ride a scooter!
So what? Neither can |I.
I want to question him immediately.
The bad weather's breaking.
Please...
Let me talk to him first.
As long as he comes out, and quickly.
What a stink!
Don't you ever clean in here? It's atrocious!
And he sees how love returns and that his heart still beats
So he stops his dance macabre, and pretends to sleep upon the world
Gnaghi!
I had a terrible dream last night.
I dreamed I shot seven people in the head.
Remember me?
Gnaghi!
Dellamorte! Come out, quick.
You've got important visitors!
And he pretends so well that sleep he does, and seems to neither see nor hear.
You understand, Engineer,
after the tragedy the voters are furious with me.
They've been re-electing you for fifteen years.
Yes, but if we don't find this lunatic soon, there won't be a sixteenth!
What's your daughter got to do with it?
Because with the whole town in mourning,
I want to show them I'm grieving too.
I'll have some pictures taken of the body
and [I'll put them on my election posters.
And underneath them, something like
"If you've had a death in the family,
vote for someone who suffers like you."
What do you think?
Well... it's certainly an idea!
Or maybe
"Vote for a man who has lost any other reason to live.”
Is the camera ready?
- Oh my God! - What shall I do?
Shoot her from the neck down?
Engineer!
What does this mean?
Dad! Daddy!
Did you hear that, Captain?
I don't know. It depends.
Dad! Daddy!
Valentina!
The plot thickens!
Where are you, sweetheart?
Where are you?
Daddy's here!
Where are you?
Stop sniveling and get in here!
Coming.
Here I am, sweetheart!
It stinks in here.
That's my fault, Dad.
Oh my God! Valentina!
What are you doing on TV?
I'm rotting fast, Daddy.
- Gna! - You!
You stuttering monster!
You're the one who took my little girl!
No, Dad! He loves me!
Out of the way!
I order you as your Mayor!
With your consent, I'd like to marry Gnaghi.
This horrible creature?
I'm not much of a catch myself nowadays, Dad.
Forget it!
Not as long as there's breath in my body!
Fine. We'll fix that right away.
Help me, Engineer!
I'm not an engineer.
I'm sorry, Gnaghi.
But she was getting a little headstrong.
And she stank.
Is he dead?
He's dead.
Who took a bite out of his neck?
Not me or Gnaghi.
Take a cast of our teeth.
You'll see they don't match.
Who did it then?
Relax, Straniero. I'm sure it won't be your first unsolved case.
Smile!
Come on, Gnaghi.
The world's full of girls like her.
And they've even got bodies too!
Listen.
Do you know what my mother's maiden name was?
You'd never believe me if I told you.
She was called Dellamore.
"Of love."
All right.
You're not the only person who's ever lost the woman they loved,
that's for certain.
Hey!
Come down!
Come down from there, Scanarotti!
Forget it, Engineer.
Go back to bed.
You of all people should set a good example. Get back in your tomb!
Don't use that tone with me.
You owe me your job.
Don't forget it.
Come down right now or I'll shoot you.
You can't. I'm the Mayor!
Ex-mayor.
- Mr. Dellamorte? - Who wants to know?
I'm Civardi, the new Mayor.
Why the barbed wire?
Do they break in at night?
No.
They mainly break out.
Would you mind coming down?
You reported an epidemic affecting the dead.
You claim they come to life within seven days of burial.
It says so here. Look.
An M3 form.
Didn't you fill it out?
No.
Ah, splendid!
So you won't mind retracting your report, Mr. Dellamorte.
Just sign here.
Franco must have done it.
How sweet of him.
Nothing.
Nothing ever happens.
If the press got hold of the story,
Buffalora would be a laughing stock,
and you might lose your job.
My personal assistant.
Mr. Dellamorte.
A real pleasure, Mr. Dellamorte.
Thanks.
So we're in agreement.
And your work has always been excellent.
Goodbye.
Your name, Miss.
I didn't get your name!
Will I see her again?
Ah, it's you!
Shit!
I didn't mean to frighten you.
How did you get in?
I was expecting someone else.
Miss?
Ever since I came to Buffalora,
strange things have been happening to me.
It's as if I've been here before.
That grave
and you, Mr. Dellamorte!
It's as if I've always known you.
As if I've always loved you!
Do you love me too?
What do you mean "too"?
Who else is there?
I... well...
Me, of course.
I love you too. I love you.
I've heard what they say about you in town.
Is it really true that...
you... you can't...
No no no, don't believe that.
Because I can only love a man who is impotent.
Ah...
Yeah, it's all true. All true.
I like men,
but their manhood terrifies me.
I can't stand the thought that they have...
You know what I mean, right?
It's a sort of phobia I've always had.
I practically don't have one.
In fact, I don't have anything at all.
Will you marry me?
Mm-hmm.
Gnaghi, I'm getting married.
Gna?
You were spying on me the whole time.
Don't pretend you didn't hear.
Gfia!
Yeah? Why shouldn't I?
Come on, explain. Argh!
Good Lord! What are you saying?
You heard me.
My dear boy, you're not yourself.
I'll give you some pills.
Dr. Vercesi,
I'm serious.
No no no.
I'm not going to let you make a fool of me in my own surgery.
The waiting room is full of people
with insurance and proper illnesses who...
I'll pay you.
Yes, but...
How can 1? I mean, everybody knows that
you haven't got one.
Ah.
You do have one. Evidently.
You do.
When would you like me to relieve you
of your... problem?
Tonight.
What are you waiting for? Get on with it!
Now what?
I've already told you, I don't want an anesthetic.
It's not an anesthetic.
What is it, then?
Listen, one shot of this and it'll be like you've never had one.
The effect lasts for over a month.
Please, my hand's not steady today.
Don't force me to operate.
Don't turn over!
This injection goes in the front.
- What do you mean "the front"? - There.
Hold still while I put the needle in. It'll only take a second.
Oh God...
Gna! Gna!
That filthy butcher!
He must've given me some kind of infection.
Gnaghi...
I feel like I'm hanging between life and death.
Gna?
Yeah, you're right.
All things considered, I always am.
That'll be her.
Don't let her in.
I don't want her to see me like this.
Please let me in. I must see Mr. Dellamorte.
- Gna. - I absolutely must speak to him.
Gfia!
I'd give my life to be dead!
Gnaghi!
It doesn't hurt anymore!
I'm getting better.
When did that happen?
She was our most loyal customer.
It's always the best ones who leave us.
Where have you been?
I thought I'd go mad.
You can't imagine what I've been through.
You can't imagine what I've been through!
I have lots to tell you.
We're together again.
Yes, my love, yes.
I don't know how to tell you.
The mayor raped me.
No!
Wait! It was nice.
Not the violence.
But right afterwards, he asked nicely if we could do it again.
As a way of asking forgiveness.
It was wonderful! Do you see?
It means I'm cured.
I don't have a phobia about sex anymore.
Of course, I can't marry you now.
I'm going to marry him.
It doesn't mean anything, though.
Nothing's changed between us.
I still love you.
You know that, right?
I just love you in a different way.
You're very important to me.
He knows. I mean, about you and me.
He's a wonderful man.
He's happy for us to still be friends.
We can still see each other.
Nothing's changed.
Everything is just like before.
Everything's like before.
It's death you seek in the clear night.
You seek her to tell her you still love her.
That you are her slave
and she is queen.
Death...
death...
death the whore.
No, I'd only be doing it out of fear.
And then I'd come back to experience the same fear of the first time.
Always out of fear.
Always.
Hi!
Is that white Volkswagen parked outside yours?
We're stuck here.
Could you give us a lift?
We're not going very far.
Come on, please!
I'm Magda.
And...
she's Laura.
How far?
We live here with another friend.
Her name is Cinzia.
Want to come up for a drink?
What are you afraid of? We're just college girls. We won't eat you.
Make a wish.
I grant wishes.
I want you to fall in love with me.
I'm already in love with you.
Hadn't you noticed?
It's so cold in here!
There's a sink over there if you want to wash.
I didn't mean your face!
I don't think I'm up to it.
I've been taking some medication that...
I'd say your medication isn't working.
Do you love me?
Yes,
if you'll stay with me all night.
I'll stay my whole life.
- No. - Why?
- Come on, let's rest a while. - No!
You've already come three times.
Twice! I faked the third one.
Shhh!
Quiet. She's sleeping. She's been studying all day.
She's got an exam tomorrow morning.
Sorry. I just wanted some wine.
Sit down, I'll get you some.
Did Laura tell you that you should give the money to me?
The money?
College is expensive, buddy.
I have to pay?
It's not like we have scholarships.
Besides, it's only 100,000 lira.
But she said she loved me.
In that case it's 150,000.
She wants me to stay the night.
200,000 then.
Is a check all right?
It's all money.
Hurry up, baby.
Come back to bed and warm me up.
I need your warmth.
Warm me up, lover.
Whatever you say, dear.
This way, you'll be warm forever.
This time, I'm really through with love.
I bet you're going to ask me where I was between 1:00 and 3:00 last night.
Ha ha, I know, I know.
Here.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this check.
I brought it back for you.
We're both men of the world!
But this is evidence...
Evidence against who?
We've already arrested the culprit!
After setting fire to the house, he went home,
killed his wife and daughter, then turned himself in.
He's in the psychiatric ward at the hospital.
Somebody's stolen my crimes!
Where are you going? Stop!
This section's closed to the public!
| want to see the Killer.
You can't go in there. Besides, he's in a coma.
He drank a bottle of iodine.
I have to take his measurements.
Franco!
Shit.
You looked a lot better the last time we talked on the phone.
Thief.
You're a thief!
You killed your wife and daughter, I'll give you that one.
But it was me who killed the three girls.
Why are you stealing my murders?
What kind of best friend are you?
Maybe you thought you were doing me a favor.
Put that out immediately. Smoking is not allowed in here!
Shut up.
He's in a coma, what does he care?
I-.-
What did you say?
Everything's awful.
The only thing that's not awful
is sleeping.
What are you doing on the floor, sister?
She's praying.
Is the patient a friend?
Mm-hmm.
Apparently he has no living relatives
and he's in an irreversible coma.
Give me a signature and I'll pull the plug now.
Here's my signature!
Here you go, put this back in.
I won't let you die
until you give me an explanation.
Why did you steal my murders?
Doesn't what I do count for anything? Huh?
Oh, my God! What happened?
They killed each other.
It was a settling of scores.
What's the matter, don't you believe me?
- No! - Shame!
Sorry about the noise.
Well?
Nothing to say to your only friend?
Who are you?
I don't know you.
I don't know who you are.
Go away!
Dellamorte! For God's sake, wait!
There's another lunatic on the loose.
He's slaughtering people on the fourth floor.
He's shot three people.
You've got a gun!
Good, you can defend yourself.
Take my advice!
Get the hell out of here quick!
Straniero!
It was me!
We're the same, you and me.
We Kill out of indifference,
and sometimes for love,
but never out of hate.
I-.-
I don't know who's dead and who's alive anymore.
I'm sick of Killing.
So it's all yours, Sister.
Dellamorte Dellamore
bids you farewell and goes on his way.
Forever.
Where to?
I'd better get going.
I'm even hearing statues talking now.
Where do you think you're going
if you still haven't learned the difference
between life and me?
Gfia!
Gnaghi, you're not bringing the coffin.
- Gna! - No, you're not.
That coffin isn't coming with us.
Put it down.
Put it down!
Gfia!
Yeah, I know. I'll get the next one though.
Relax,
I know every stone on this road!
- Gna! - That was one of them.
Look!
I've never been past it.
We did it, Gnaghi!
Who could've imagined this?
It's wider than all the streets in Buffalora put together.
It looks like it never ends.
Gfia!
Hold on tight, Gnaghi.
After that tunnel,
there's the rest of the world!
Can you imagine the rest of the world, Gnaghi?
No?
Me neither, to be honest.
It's beyond imagining.
It's just as I suspected.
The rest of the world doesn't exist!
Gnaghi!
What's the matter?
Gnaghi, come on, get up!
Come on, let's get you to the car.
Stand up!
Come on!
You're so heavy!
Come on, come with me.
Gnaghi!
Gnaghi?
Don't leave me on my own, Gnaghi!
Gnaghi.
Gnaghi!
Oh God!
Death...
death...
death that comes,
disgusting death,
lustful death,
death on wings,
normal death
that hides every evil from the eyes of the wretched world.
Death that lives,
Life that dies.
Death... death...
Death and Love,
who together await the final judgement
without an end,
without beginning.
How can I shoot you?
You're the only friend I've got.
Listen, will you take me home?
Please?
Gna.
