La polizia accusa: il servizio segreto uccide (Silent Action, 1975)
"I think we should get to the bottom of this, I'm not ready to jump to conclusions."
"With all the unsolved crimes we have, you're hesitating on a pretty clear case."
"Well, I'm that kind of guy, you see. I never stop at first appearances; I only stop in front of the truth. I always manage to get there, one way or another."
