Imma is talking with Mottola to find any connections with Don Mariano's death. He is accusing the deceased of not having helped him, and at a certain point, she says: Ma si rende conto? (but do you have any idea?) For more on this expression see our lesson. Back home, Imma is irritable, but she can't talk to her daughter about the real reasons she is upset.

Lojacono and Di Nardo go to speak with Don Michele again, when Mass is over. The priest confirms that he and Angela cared for each other very much but that they didn't have a relationship. He is being rather defensive, but Lojacono gets him to agree to cooperate.
