Don Matteo (English subtitled) is an Italian television show that revolves around a Catholic priest named Don Matteo who solves crimes in his parish with his keen sense of intuition. In season 10 episode 22, titled Resurrection, Don Matteo is once again called upon to solve a mysterious case.
The episode opens with the discovery of a dead body in the woods. The victim is a teenage girl named Ivana, who went missing weeks ago. The investigation is led by Captain Anceschi, who is convinced that the perpetrator is Erman, Ivana's ex-boyfriend. The evidence seems to point in his direction, but Don Matteo is not convinced.
As always, Don Matteo has his own methods of investigating crimes. He talks to people in the parish, listens to their stories, and observes their behavior. Through his interactions, Don Matteo discovers that Ivana was a troubled girl. She had problems at home and was bullied at school. Her relationship with Erman was also tumultuous, and she had been seeing another boy, Federico, on the side.
Don Matteo's investigation takes him to Ivana's school, where he meets with the principal. He learns that the school has a dark secret – a years-old scandal involving a teacher who sexually abused his students. The principal is hesitant to reveal any more information but promises to help Don Matteo in any way he can.
Meanwhile, the police continue to focus their investigation on Erman. They question him repeatedly and are convinced that he is guilty. Erman protests his innocence, but the evidence against him is strong. Don Matteo, however, is not convinced. He believes that someone else is responsible for Ivana's death and sets out to prove it.
Don Matteo's investigation leads him to Federico, Ivana's other boyfriend. Federico is a troubled boy, and Don Matteo's intuition tells him that he is involved in Ivana's death. Don Matteo confronts Federico, who admits to killing Ivana accidentally. He explains that Ivana wanted to break up with him, and he couldn't handle the rejection. In a fit of rage, he strangled her and left her body in the woods.
Don Matteo helps Federico turn himself in, and the episode ends with the young man in police custody. Don Matteo reflects on the tragedy and the pain that both Ivana and Federico's families will have to endure.
Resurrection is a powerful episode that deals with difficult topics such as sexual abuse, bullying, and teenage relationships. The show's unique blend of crime-solving and spiritual guidance makes for an engaging and thought-provoking viewing experience. Don Matteo's intuition and compassion continue to be a driving force in the show, and his ability to connect with people of all backgrounds and walks of life is truly inspiring. Season 10 episode 22 is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone who enjoys a good crime drama with heart.
