Commissario Brunetti Mysteries - Episodes 9 & 10

Uwe Kockisch plays Guido Brunetti, a police inspector with a keen mind, razor-sharp wit, and a touch of melancholy. He strives to bring criminals to justice, but experience has taught him that countless things work against that - human frailty, corruption, and incompetence in the force being chief among them. He takes refuge from the job in the company of his loving wife Paola, a university literature professor, and two teenage children, Raffi and Chiara.

Episode 9: Doctored Evidence - Signora Battestini is dead and to everyone who knew her, it wasn't a moment too soon. Her impoverished Romanian cleaning lady gets pegged for the crime and Brunetti’s boss declares the case closed. What continues to mystify Brunetti is why the old woman had so much money with no visible means of income. And what exactly has her lawyer done with her many scattered bank accounts?

Episode 10: Uniform Justice - Brunetti is deeply affected by the death of a cadet at Venice’s exclusive San Martino Military Academy and has trouble believing such a bright and vigorous young man could take his own life. His doubts are supported by the growing realization that in this hothouse of military discipline, violence and murder are just a step away from the distorted values of duty and honor drilled into the cadets.
