discover all the charges against Marco have been dropped.
Upon his release the three men bump into Marco's father in law De Cal, an owner of the local glass making plant. He is furious with Marco and threatens to hurt him. After some informal enquiries Brunetti is satisfied that 'the old man' is just shouting his mouth off and means him no actual harm.
Then Giorgio Tassini, the Night Watchman at the Glass Plant is found dead. Upon investigation he has also been talking bitterly about the Plant to everyone. Brunetti discovers he has a dossier about the Plant, claiming the owner to be responsible for his two year old daughter's bad health.
The Commissario must find out if it is Tassini's own guilt that makes him believe this or if there really is a case to answer by De Cal and the other next door plant owner Fasano.

In spite of this 'Through a GlassDarkly' can very easily stand alone as a cinematic masterpiece. Nykvist's cinematography is something purely beautiful and each individual actor, without exception, produces a wonderful performance.
Dealing with God, Sanity, Love, Sexuality, Artistic production, philosophy and more the film itself is bursting with meaning and the intellectual achievement on Bergman's part should not be underplayed.
