From wayfair.com this has been your Wayfair style tip to keep those interiors superior.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Wayfair.

[Angela Perenno]

Every style, every home.

[Detective]

Every door has a key. There's a key to every situation. Behind every unopened door there is a mystery. And the opening of this door introduces us to another in the series the Key.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Oh, Good morning, sir. $50. You want to cash this check, sir? Sure. I'm sorry, I don't recognize the signature. Are you a customer of this branch of the bank? As of now, I am. Oh, if it's a new account, I'm afraid I'll have to just do nothing. Just keep quiet and keep smiling. What? Under this coat. Open my arm is a gunpowder and the same right at your heart. Now keep calum. Push your door over here.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Smile.

[Detective]

Act normal.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

One step out of line, you're it. Sure, sure. Here. Not that, the big stuff. No, that's better. Don't look so sick. Nothing's going to happen to you if you just be a good boy. You. You can't get away with it. Come on, come on. I don't have all day. Why, you stupid. I didn't do anything. I warned you.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

You come. Hey. Hey, you stop.

[Detective]

Now. Ms. Perenno, you say you didn't see the man's face at all?

[Angela Perenno]

No, no. He had his arm up around his face. I couldn't see anything but his eyes. He was holding his overcoat over the arm.

[Detective]

Would you be able to identify him if you saw him again?

[Angela Perenno]

No, no, no, I wouldn't.

[Detective]

I see. Ms. Perino, the bank accountant who ran out of his office when he heard the shots has told us that the gunman did not put his arm up over his face until he'd come face to face with you.

[Angela Perenno]

He's mistaken. The man's face was covered.

[Detective]

Look, Ms. Perino, there's nothing to be afraid of. We have reason to believe that there were two people who saw the face of the hold up man. One was the teller who handed the money to him and then pressed the alarm button. That man, Nutella, was shot down in cold blood by the gunman and he's dead. The other person we believe capable of identifying the killer is you. And I shouldn't have to remind you that if you cannot help us, the killer may never be brought to justice. It's therefore your duty to do everything you can to help us.

[Angela Perenno]

I'm sorry. I told you all I know.

[Detective]

Thank Ms. Perino. You must have caught a glimpse of his face. You are not telling a truth.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Captain, please. Angela cannot help you. You're making her scared. Angela is a good girl. She would help you if she could. Wouldn't you, Angela?

[Angela Perenno]

Please.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I don't know anymore. Let me go home.

[Detective]

Oh, okay. You can go home.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Please. Me too, Captain. A mar. Uncle. She lives with us. Mama will be worried about this.

[Detective]

Okay, okay. Get out of here, both of you.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Thank you. Thank you. Come on, Angie, don't cry. We go home.

[Detective]

Oh, Ms. Perenno, if you happen to remember that you can identify the killer, you know where to find me.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Sure, Captain. We know.

[Detective]

Sure. Well, what do you think?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Sure. Seemed upset about it. Like maybe she recognized the hood but wasn't telling.

[Detective]

Yeah, yeah, but why? Doesn't look the type to be on speaking terms with a killer. Tell you what, Al. Get me a rundown on her family, background, acquaintances. A lot. Will do.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

What about the old guy? Said he's her uncle.

[Detective]

Yeah, him too. Girl lives with him and his wife. Yeah.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

What's the name again?

[Detective]

Oh, it's here someplace. Yeah. Vitelli. Giuseppe Vitelli.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Vitelli. Funny thing. The name rings a bell.

[Detective]

So.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

No, can't get a fix of it. There must be dozens of Attelleys in town.

[Detective]

Yeah. Yeah, we'll get checking on this one. Let's hope you come up with something. It'll be about the only lead we have.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I tell you, Mama, it was the most terrible thing. Poor little Angela. She nearly bumped into him. I was writing my check at the table and I did not see it. You know, I do not see too good, and I must ride slow.

[Mama Vitelli]

I keep telling you, Papa, you should see the eye doctor.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I tell you, I am glad I did not see good today. I look up when I hear the gun go off. But all I can see is this man with his back to me. He has a hat on, and all I can see is the back of him. He turns to run, and Angela is just going up to the counter. And she is right there in front of him. And she screams when she sees him. But he puts his arm up over his face so she cannot see it.

[Mama Vitelli]

Angie said he had his arm over his face all the time.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

She's a good girl, Mama. The police captain was Very angry with her. But she's a good girl. She would help him if she could.

[Mama Vitelli]

Of course she would help the police if she could. She's good at one. She has been like a daughter to us all these years.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Yes, yes, like a daughter. It was terrible that Mario and Francesca should both die so young. But their going brought little Angela to us.

[Detective]

Mama.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

She's such a good girl.

[Mama Vitelli]

I hope she will rest. I gave her one of my pills. The ones the doctor gave me for sleeping.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

She will feel better in the morning. You know, Mama, there is only one thing.

[Mama Vitelli]

Yes, yes. You are always thing.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

And why not? Why should I not want to see our little girl married to some nice boy?

[Mama Vitelli]

When she is ready, she will marry that DeMarco boy.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

He's a good one. And I think Angela likes him.

[Mama Vitelli]

She likes him and he is a good boy. He is a good worker and he will do well. But Angela always waits for Nicola. You know that, Papa.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I know it, but I do not like it.

[Mama Vitelli]

You do not like that Angie should marry your own son? What are you saying?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

It is not that. But Nicky is not here. He has been gone two years. He will go and make a lot of money, he says. But how, Nicolo? I say, how? Never mind the papa, he said I will come back with a pocketful of gold. You see? Maybe. But he is still not here.

[Mama Vitelli]

He is a good boy, Smarto. He will do it.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I think Angela should marry the Damarcho boy. He's a good worker. And Angela is a very fond of him. And he is here.

[Mama Vitelli]

But she's in love with our Nikki. Now come to bed, Papa. It is very late. Cop to bed.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Angie.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Angela, are you awake? Oh. Who's there?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Angie, it's me, Nikki.

[Angela Perenno]

Nikki, what are you quiet.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Awake.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Mama and Papa.

[Angela Perenno]

You shouldn't be here. No fire escape.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Glad you didn't lock your window. Well, aren't you pleased to see me? It's been a long time, Angie. Has it been gone? Two years, honey.

[Angela Perenno]

I could have sworn I saw you in the bank only this morning.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

But you didn't, Angie. You didn't swear you saw me. You didn't tell the cops?

[Angela Perenno]

No, no, I didn't tell anyone.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Why didn't you?

[Angela Perenno]

You've got to get out of here. They'll be looking for you.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

No, we won't. Because only you can identify me. And you told him you couldn't see my face. I read it in the afternoon papers.

[Angela Perenno]

Oh, Nikki, how could you? You of all people. You shot that man.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I hate to see you.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I have to tell you about that.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I couldn't bear the thought of you.

[Angela Perenno]

That I might change my mind and.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Tell the police that you might hate me. I'm in love with you, Angie. I always have been.

[Angela Perenno]

How can you talk about love, Nicky? A man's dead. You killed him.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I couldn't help it. It was an accident. He tried to grab me through the grill. The gun I had wasn't automatic. It goes off very easy. I never meant to use it on him or anybody. I swear I didn't.

[Angela Perenno]

How can I believe that? You ran.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I panicked, that's all. I was scared. But when I cooled off, I realized there was only one thing to do. To come back and give myself up.

[Angela Perenno]

You've been to the police?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Not yet. I'm going to see them. I have to see you first.

[Angela Perenno]

I don't know what to think. It's all so. Oh, Nicky. I've hoped and prayed you'd come back someday, but not like this. How could you try to rob a bank? Papa's always talking about the time you said you'd come back with a bucket full of gold. Was that the gold you meant?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I got 10,000 bucks out of that bank.

[Angela Perenno]

Where is it?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Safe?

[Angela Perenno]

Nicky, you can't use a penny of that money.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

No, no, of course not. I'll hand it over to the police when I give myself up. Oh, Angie, I've been a fool. Such a fool. All this is a terrible mess. That poor guy's dead. I never meant him any harm. I never meant to harm anybody. It was just that everything I'd planned hadn't worked out. I've had a run of out since I left home. I felt I couldn't come back empty handed. I was just going to do this one job.

[Angela Perenno]

It was wrong, Nicky, terribly wrong.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

It was wrong for you not to tell the cops about me. But you did it. You can't.

[Angela Perenno]

Yes, I know. That was wrong, too. Now, I'm glad you've come that, you see, you must give yourself up. Otherwise I'd have to tell them. Thank you.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Yeah. Now, take it easy, huh? Everything's going to be all right. I made a bad mistake. I guess I've made plenty. Leaving you in the first place was bad enough anyway. Now I'm going to take my punishment. Maybe if I give myself up and they realize I didn't mean to kill anybody, I'll get off with a year or two in prison when I come out. Maybe I can make a fresh start.

[Angela Perenno]

Prison?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I can take it, honey. As long as I know I've Got you. That's why I had to come in first. I had to know you loved me. In spite of everything, I'd always wanted to come back and be your big hero. Yeah.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Yeah.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

The big hero you'd be proud to marry.

[Angela Perenno]

Oh, Niki, you know I've always been in love with you. I've waited long for the day you'd come back.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Honey, I love you so very much. Hello?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

If only we could say why not?

[Angela Perenno]

What?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Nikki, honey, maybe you think I'm crazy, but why not? Let's get married right away, just as soon as I can get a license. Married?

[Angela Perenno]

But Father Baccini, you wouldn't.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

No, no, the church wedding can wait. We can go through that later. With all the trimmings. I mean, just a civil marriage. Just let's make it legal and keep it to ourselves till it was all over.

[Angela Perenno]

You mean not tell anyone?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Yeah.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Not even Mama and Papa? Not till afterwards.

[Angela Perenno]

Oh, no, they'd be hurt. I couldn't do that to them, Nicky. They'd be like a mother and father to me.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Darling, you make it sound like you don't really want to marry me.

[Angela Perenno]

You know it's not that.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Look, honey, I've got a pretty terrible time to go through all that business of a trial and everything. I've got to know your mind. Got to have that to hold onto to keep me sane. You do love me, don't you? Tell me you do, honey.

[Angela Perenno]

Oh, yes, Nicky. I love you so very, very much. Nikki, hold me.

[Mama Vitelli]

Hold me close.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Take it easy, honey. Everything's going to be okay. Yeah, everything's going to work out just swell.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

But I tell you, Captain, that is all. We know.

[Mama Vitelli]

She left a note. That is all. She has gone suddenly to visit her father's sister.

[Detective]

Huh. Funny thing to just go off like that without saying goodbye.

[Mama Vitelli]

I keep telling you, she left this note. I do not understand all these fuss. She will be back in a couple of days.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

She says she needs a rest. Captain. All the shooting business, it made her very upset.

[Detective]

Yeah, I guess so. This relative of yours, Mrs. Vitelli, you let me have her address?

[Mama Vitelli]

Yes, I can. But why do you want it?

[Detective]

Well, I may need to get in touch with Angela Perenno quickly. I'd just like to know where I can contact her at short notice.

[Mama Vitelli]

I will write the address down for you. Wait, I'll get the pensul and paper.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Please, Captain, haven't you asked enough questions? Angela has told you all she knows.

[Detective]

Has she? What about you, Mr. Vitelli?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Me? I do not know anything. I told you, I did not see the face of the man in the bank.

[Detective]

You have a son, don't you, Mr. Vitelli?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

A son? Sure I have a son, Niccolo. Everybody knows that.

[Detective]

Has he been around lately?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

No, I have not seen him for a couple of years.

[Detective]

What's he doing these days?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Doing? I do not know what he is doing, but whatever it is, he will be doing it well. He's a clever boy. Nicky?

[Detective]

Uh huh. You haven't heard from him or of him for the last two years, huh? No.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

But I don't understand all this. Why do you ask me questions about Nicky?

[Detective]

You wouldn't know, I suppose, that he's been in jail.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

In. Did you say in jail? Our Nicky?

[Detective]

Yeah. Not here. Over the border, broke into a drugstore, stole a few dollars and some goods.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Nick, our Nicky? A burglar, A thief. Oh, no.

[Mama Vitelli]

Here you are, Captain. I have written down the address where Angeli.

[Detective]

Thanks, Mrs. Vitelli. Well, I'll be going. Oh, if you happen to hear from your son, Mr. Patelli, I'd appreciate you letting me know. Do that.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Yes, yes, of course, I. I let you know.

[Detective]

Thanks.

[Mama Vitelli]

What's he say about Nicky, Papa? What you say about our boy?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

There must be some mistake. Not Nicky. He wouldn't do a thing like that. He's a good boy.

[Mama Vitelli]

Do I think like what? Papa, what are you saying? What has Nicky done?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

The Captain said Nicki is a thief. He has been in prison.

[Mama Vitelli]

Oh, no, not our Nicky.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Mama. Mama, what have we done that such a thing should happen?

[Mama Vitelli]

I don't believe it. There is some mistake. Surely there is some mistake.

[Detective]

Hello?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Giuseppe Patelli speaking. Angela, where are you? What? He. But, but Angie, it can't be. Angela, wait. Hello? Hello? Hello? She hung up.

[Mama Vitelli]

It was Auntie.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Yes. I don't know what to think. She Said she would explain it all tonight. They are coming here tonight. They? Angela and Nikki.

[Mama Vitelli]

Nicky.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Mama, Mama, what to think, what to think? Angela and Nikki are married.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Well, Mama, don't you have a big kiss for your little boy? Especially now he's got himself married.

[Mama Vitelli]

Nikki. It is also, of course, my son, dear. And Angela, a little girl.

[Angela Perenno]

We wanted to tell you, but. Well, we just felt it was best to get married right away.

[Mama Vitelli]

But where did you get married so quickly? I don't think Father Pacini would like me.

[Angela Perenno]

Oh, we're going to see Father Pacini later. We'll have a church ceremony. Of course.

[Mama Vitelli]

But you. You have not been married in church.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

It wasn't time, Mama. A justice of the peace married us.

[Mama Vitelli]

Justice of the peace?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

It's legal.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Legal?

[Mama Vitelli]

Who cares for legal? You marry in the church, no other place.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Mama is right, Nicky. This is not a good thing you do, I tell you. You worry us, my son. We hear things we do not like about you. And now you do this thing. Angela, we had wanted something better for you. Just a minute.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

What's this about things?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

You hear? I was speaking, Niccolo. You have not kept your good manners since you go away.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Manners? I'm supposed to worry about manners when you start accusing me of something I haven't done?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I did not accuse you of anything, Nicky. But I am told you have been in prison, Nicky.

[Angela Perenno]

That.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

It's nothing. Forget it.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Nothing, Madonna. Nothing. That our son is called a thief? Nothing. That he has been in prison? Ah, Nicolo. Two years ago you left this house with my blessing. And you said you would return with your pockets full of money. You were going to be rich and successful.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Rich and successful. Okay. How about this here? My valise. Take a look at it.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Your valise? What is in it, Nicky?

[Angela Perenno]

No, Papa, don't open it.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

What's the matter? Go ahead.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Take a look at that pocket full of money I brought you. Okay, I'll open it for you.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

What is in it? I don't.

[Mama Vitelli]

Let me help.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Nice. 10,000 bucks. 10,000, you hear? Well, is that a pocket full of money or isn't it?

[Angela Perenno]

You shouldn't have.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Why not? It's mine. I got it.

[Angela Perenno]

Yours? Nikki, you don't know what you're saying. You promised.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

That was yesterday.

[Angela Perenno]

Yesterday. Nikki, what are you saying?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Nicolo, where did you get so much money?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I picked it up. That's the difference. I got it.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

You did not get it by honest work. Not so much money.

[Angela Perenno]

Tell them, Nikki.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

It's mine.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

You're staying right here in this valise. So don't you or anybody get any different ideas?

[Angela Perenno]

Nikki, you can't do this. You promised you'd give yourself up. You must. There's no other way.

[Mama Vitelli]

What is going on? What is everybody talking about? I don't understand.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I will go.

[Detective]

Good evening, Mr. Vitelli. Sorry to trouble you again, but the man I've had watching this place has reported that you have some interesting visitors.

[Angela Perenno]

Police?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Well, I. I don't know.

[Detective]

If you don't mind, I'll just join you for a while. Good evening, Mrs. Vitelli. And I guess you're Nick Vitelli.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

It's a crime, is it? What do you want, copper?

[Detective]

Well, Ms. Perenno, you get around. Or do you? Mrs. Vitelli gave us an address. You were supposed to be visiting. But you haven't been there, have you?

[Niccolo Vitelli]

No, it's not Ms. Perino anymore, copper. It's Mrs. Vitelli. And I object to you asking my wife a lot of personal questions.

[Detective]

Your wife?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Sure.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

We were married yesterday. Any objections?

[Detective]

Either you look here, Ms. Perrino, or Mrs. Vitelli, if that's what it is. There are a few things I want to talk over with you. I don't know if you realize.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Maybe you don't realize, copper that under the laws of this state a wife cannot testify against a husband. That's something any cop should know, even one with flat feet like you.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Listen, Vitelli, you're just testify.

[Mama Vitelli]

What is testify? Why does everybody talk the dog talk?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Nicky, you have done something. There is something bad.

[Detective]

I'd say murder was pretty bad, wouldn't you, Mr. Vitelli?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

What murder?

[Mama Vitelli]

What are you saying?

[Detective]

What I'm saying is that your son is a man who robbed the local bank and shot a man dead doing it. I'm saying that your niece saw him in the bank and recognized him.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Natalie Nicolo. My son. This is not true. See? It is not true. Say it. You do not say it. You do not shut up. Keep out of it.

[Angela Perenno]

Too late. Too late.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

You cop.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Get out of here. Get out of here. You got nothing on me, and you know it. Just as you know my wife can't testify against me in any court. Get your things, Angela. We're leaving.

[Angela Perenno]

That's why you married me. So I couldn't identify you as a killer. You don't love me. You never have.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Nicolo, I must have the truth. Did you do this terrible thing? Answer me.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

What do you think? Don't expect me to answer a lot of questions in front of a cop. Work it out for yourself, Nicola.

[Mama Vitelli]

You Are a bad, wicked monster.

[Angela Perenno]

A wicked, evil man.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

My son.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

Mother, stop it. Stop it, I tell you.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Stop it. Okay, Mama. You animal. You'd hit your own mother? Your own mama who bore you, loved you. Ra you from a child. You'd strike your own mama.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I told her not to hit me. Nobody hits me. Nobody.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

What a hero.

[Detective]

What a big, wonderful guy. Proud of your husband, Angela?

[Angela Perenno]

Mama, are you all right?

[Mama Vitelli]

Never mind.

[Detective]

Okay, tough guy. What now? He may be running out of women, but the next move is up to you.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

No, captain. The next move is up to me. I wish to go with you to the station house. I wish to make a statement. I wish to say that I was confused. I had a bad memory, but I'm all right. I remember seeing his face. The face of the killer. I remember. I saw him very clearly.

[Detective]

Yes, I saw him.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I saw him very clearly. He's standing there. The killer is my son.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

How crazy. You were behind me when Baba.

[Mama Vitelli]

Please do not know.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I saw him. He was there. He's the one with the gun. He killed a man. He's a wicked man. But he would strike his own mother. A murderer. My son. I saw him do it with my own eyes.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I will testify.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

I will testify. I will testify.

[Detective]

Take it easy, Mr. Vitelli. Nikki, I guess we better take a little ride.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I'm not going anywhere.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Nobody move.

[Detective]

Don't be a fool, Nick. Put that gun away.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

I'm no fool.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Don't worry about that.

[Niccolo Vitelli]

My own father perjured himself to send me to the death cell. That's just great. I'm supposed to be proud of my parents, huh?

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

They sure are fond of me. I can see that. Well, anybody makes a move, grab him.

[Detective]

Joe.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

My boy.

[Detective]

I'm sorry. I had to do that. He might have, Mr. Vitelli. Angela would have to be. One way or another. This was the only end of the road for Nikki. Maybe this way was was better than the other.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

Could not have done it. I could not have testified.

[Detective]

I. I'll go call an ambulance. A closing door finishes the story. Next week, another key will open another door to another story. Mystery, romance or adventure. All start when a door is unlocked by.

[Giuseppe Vitelli]

The key. Hello?
