"Do you think it will work?" "Of course." "Here she comes." "We're finished, it's all ready." "Now it's your turn." "Perhaps he's waiting for me?" "Do really want to do this?" "I already said yes." "Call us straight after." "Jealous?" "A snake." "A snake poisoned by love." "What are you doing?" "I'm getting dressed." "What do you mean you're getting dressed?" "You really are crazy." "He loves me, he loves me not..." "He loves me, he loves me not." "You know what I really want for a present..." "A very big park with a hundred husbands." "All in love with you, you'd like that, wouldn't you?" "Yes, because I'll be able to make love every night..." "But only with you." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "You will be very happy with me, but I'll also be your downfall." "Because I have a thousand lovers." "Richard and Benedetta love each other passionately." "Richard and Benedetta love each other today." "And tomorrow?" "And tomorrow nothing will happen." "Do you remember that trip with my father when I fell down?" "I was afraid and you took me in your arms." "And I kissed you on the neck, but not like now." "Why the serious face?" "What have I said that's so bad?" "Perhaps it's because I reminded you of my father?" "I promise, absolutely..." "I'll never mention my father again." "Richard, you feel like you're to blame, don't you?" "But why?" "It's not your fault I'm your best friend's daughter." "Where are you going?" "What's wrong?" "It feels like someone's spying on me." "Spying on you?" "Yes." "Always, when you come." "As though someone's following me." "But I'm not scared." "I'm only scared of falling in love." "I'm always so stupid." "I have to be in Geneva by tomorrow morning." "You have to go." "No." "I'll miss my flight." "Come here." "I wanted to warn you that professor Vasquez is asking for you." "Is he here as well?" "Yes." "I must admit the results we've achieved so far are modest." "But my government is committed to reducing the balance of payments." "And above all to put an end to this reliance on international loans." "We don't doubt that, Mr. Dylan, but to achieve your goals..." "You'll have to adopt more drastic measures." "No, we can't keep on increasing taxes." "Besides, it's been demonstrated to be an insufficient measure." "The last increase of one percent was a complete failure." "Gentlemen..." "I'm reminded of J.P. Morgan, the famous American financier..." "One of his clients came to see him, but not for a loan..." "What he wanted was Morgan to walk through his hotel with an arm around his shoulders." "This committee is prepared to put an arm around your government's shoulders." "And to walk together through the hotel lobby." "But only on the condition that you take the necessary measures." "The most important of these measures..." "To discourage speculators you could announce that your government has taken measures to convert dollar investments into liquid capital." "I know this proposal may cause problems, above all with internal politics..." "So, gentlemen..." "I suggest we suspend this meeting for an hour." "Send these to Rome." "Yes, professor." "Have a seat." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Richard, when was the last time you saw my daughter?" "The last time I saw Benedetta?" "A couple of weeks." "I've tried calling her, but she's never at home." "Look into it." "I asked you to look after her." "I'm stuck here and I might have to go to America soon." "Yes, of course." "Don't worry." "Perfect." "Let's say almost perfect." "You should've left the screen more open." "How nice." "Really." "It's disgusting." "Well I like it." "I'm starting get bored of his unscrupulous behaviour." "Deep down, he's a good man and that's precisely why we're attacking him." "If he was a scoundrel he would've unmasked himself alone." "Also Umberto the First, don't you remember?" "They called him the good king." "A clear action." "In the open." "We shouldn't have misgivings about our methods of combat." "Marches, sit-ins, clashes with the police..." "They only serve to have our comrades imprisoned." "Enough of this false revolutionary heroism..." "We have to attack the system at its strong points." "Destroy the centres of power and those who represent them." "He's just the first." "It doesn't matter how we destroy them." "You can't destroy the system eliminating one or two important leaders." "They'll find a way to stop us." "It's always been like that." "Nothing changes." "And you always make the same mistake..." "You only think of the mental factor." "These men don't just represent the system..." "They are the system." "Maybe you're right?" "Yes..." "But don't think I'm defending them because I'm scared." "Tell me, how long did that kiss last?" "That's enough." "Why?" "That's enough, okay?" "It won't be easy, let's not fool ourselves." "The system will defend him, and he'll defend himself as well." "One mistake and everything could be compromised." "As far as you're concerned, you don't have to worry..." "I'm writing a letter." "Leave it, I'll write it later." "Why?" "Because I know what to write." "Well?" "How does it feel when you hear me giving the orders?" "Yes, it's true." "He's coming out now, look." "One more thing..." "They want to interview you about the decisions made in Geneva." "No, I don't feel up to it." "You take care of them." "Music is the only activity the authorities can't control..." "This is why music sets us free." "But for how long?" "Didn't you want to talk to him?" "No." "Which one should I give him?" "You should probably give him the heavier one..." "The more he sweats, the happier he is." "No, these two are no good." "Give him this one, it's not ideal but it will do." "Good morning, sir." "Hello, Sandro." "What are you doing today?" "What are you talking about?" "We did half an hour of warm-ups." "I can just imagine your warm-ups." "The court's free, fancy a game?" "Hi Richard, you okay?" "Fine, thanks." "Come on." "Chin up." "My compliments." "We're making progress." "Why don't you play in the tournament this year?" "Sandro, I need to talk to you, if you don't mind?" "I saw you put that letter in my jacket pocket." "I don't know what you're talking about." "That's the truth." "It's a strange way to deliver a letter" "A man..." "I don't know his name." "But I think I've seen him before." "Yes, I've seen him before." "A shady character." "No..." "A face like any other." "Around forty." "But there was something strange about him." "He gave me that envelope, and then he left." "Ran off." "I chased after him but he disappeared." "I was scared." "That there was something dirty going on." "Yes, like that." "A feeling that something wasn't right." "That's why I wanted to open it." "You felt the need to?" "I don't know why I did it." "Did you read it or not?" "Yes." "I was too ashamed to give it you directly." "You might have suspected me." "So I slipped into your jacket pocket." "You would probably have chosen a simpler way to blackmail me." "Listen, I read that letter..." "But I won't allow anyone to talk to me like this." "Not even you." "Sorry." "What do I have to do?" "Nothing." "Why should you have to pay?" "They've been faked, you can see it." "Someone's playing a joke on you." "What if they haven't been faked?" "You and Benedetta Varzi." "I don't see how this could interest you?" "Isn't she your friend's daughter?" "Does he know about you two?" "No." "I still wouldn't pay." "Yes, but if I don't pay..." "What will happen?" "To her?" "Then do something else..." "Get him to show himself." "Why?" "Can't you recognise him?" "Then you find him." "I'll try." "I'll give you a cheque." "No..." "I'm not helping you for the money." "I haven't forgotten what you did for my father." "What are you thinking?" "Nothing." "What if the girl is part of it?" "No..." "Impossible." "Absurd!" "With all the money she has, why would she blackmail you?" "Try to find out, Sandro." "Have I ever told you you have the best skin in the world?" "(audio missing) And a lot." "Do you like it?" "Yes." "What could've happened to Sandro?" "I bet he didn't do it." "Who knows why you always underestimate me?" "I left the key in the door." "Well?" "He asked me to help him, just as you predicted." "He even wanted to pay me." "For the expenses." "He's ready to pay." "But his money won't help him this time." "Now, thanks to my suggestion, he also suspects Benedetta." "We'll wait for him to call you." "He won't call if he really suspects me." "And if he doesn't, he still won't call." "The state he's in." "He's probably trying to forget you." "But we won't let him." "He has to see you all the time." "Always, at all times." "Hello?" "Is the professor there?" "I'll put you through." "Thanks." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Who is this?" "It's me." "This morning..." "I received some photographs of us two." "I don't know what to do?" "I need to see you." "I'm ready to pay but I'm worried they'll want more." "Yes, we have to meet." "Not at my place, it's too risky." "Let's meet at the port, around three." "There's a bar at the end of Via Vespucci." "Okay." "I love you." "It's all the money I have, don't you understand?" "Yes, I understand, but it's not enough." "I'm too good for you." "But lower the price a bit." "But I already told you twice, it's not enough, I have to pay the rent." "But I lost almost everything." "And I'm wasting my time with you." "Richard!" "What are you doing here?" "And you?" "I have a lot of friends here." "I come here often but I never thought I'd see you here." "Can I sit here?" "Or are you ashamed of your daughter?" "You know all the girls in my class are in love with you." "Despite all the bad grades I give them?" "Perhaps that's why?" "Are you waiting for a blonde or a brunette?" "Yes, I'm waiting for someone, but it's nothing important." "I hope you're not courting Giovanna, she wants to marry you..." "And after all these years, who can blame her?" "What are you doing?" "Ignoring your friends?" "We never talk." "I've already said a lot and you know what the results were." "You only care about results, even if you're wrong..." "And I'm your big mistake, I know." "You've said it more than once, and to mum." "You could argue with her about it when she was alive." "Look at that idiot over there." "See how he's looking at us?" "Either he disapproves of me..." "Or he's jealous." "I wouldn't understand if he disapproved, you're not that old." "Would you sleep with me if I wasn't your daughter?" "Why do you live like this?" "Why don't you come home?" "You promised you'd never ask me again." "Yes, you're right, but I can't." "Sorry, I have to go." "And this mysterious person you were waiting for?" "She probably understood one thing for another." "Goodbye, Lilla." "Goodbye, Richard." "Nothing." "I even went to her home, but she wasn't there." "It seems impossible." "Let's forget about the girl." "Let her take care of herself." "If you have an idea, tell me." "I don't know if it's an idea." "It turns out a servant in Benedetta's father's home was fired some years ago..." "And some valuables went missing." "Yes, I remember hearing something about it." "Then it's true..." "He might be seeking revenge." "I know where to find him." "I'm going over there for a moment." "Hello?" "It's still me, has Benedetta returned?" "Are we going fishing this Sunday or not?" "I'm always keen." "But your wife isn't!" "And yours never says anything, right?" "It doesn't matter." "I found him." "He's the last one in the line, I recognised him." "Wait a minute." "So he's the servant who was fired?" "Yes, but that isn't the man who gave me the letter." "I can't imagine the state he's in, for a moment he had hope..." "Now he's back to square one." "Without knowing he's lost you as well..." "He doesn't know where to look for you any more." "He might be upset with me." "Do you think so?" "I don't." "Are you afraid?" "No." "You will come to the meeting tomorrow?" "It's very important." "I can't say for sure." "The funds for the new tennis courts are at stake!" "Yes, okay, I'll try to be there." "Why not bring a financier with you so we can resolve all our problems." "Jokes aside, I'm sure you've grown fond of the place after all these years." "You're not wrong, I'll do everything I can to be there." "I'm counting on you." "Have you found her?" "No." "I found out something about the photos." "Let's go to my room." "There's no need..." "A technician told me that there are cameras that are completely automatic." "Researchers use them." "There's only one shop that sells them..." "I went straight there but it was already closed." "Why don't we go to the police?" "They can help us." "Just leave the police out of this!" "Why don't you go to that guy's house?" "I'll go straight there..." "Then I'll come back here." "Be careful." "I've been looking everywhere for you." "Why did you disappear?" "Not here, in my room." "You didn't meet me in the bar, why?" "It's not my fault..." "I couldn't, I was being followed." "Followed?" "You must have imagined it." "No, it happened again today." "The same person, same car, he followed me everywhere, like a shadow." "It's so hot." "Did you see him?" "What?" "No, I didn't see him clearly." "He looked about your age." "It's so hot!" "Why am I so hot?" "He must have seen you come here?" "No, don't worry, I lost him." "Why?" "What does he want from me?" "I've decided not to pay." "I don't care if he tells my father." "He would've found out sooner or later." "It's for the best." "Yes, it's the best solution." "I was scared at first..." "But I'm not scared any more." "No..." "We should pay him, I don't want your father finding out." "Why are you so worried about my father?" "Are you scared of him?" "No." "I'm not well." "I feel like I'm suffocating." "What have you done to your eyes?" "They seem like a different colour." "You should try it as well, to pick you up." "What have you taken?" "No, I'm not ill..." "It's so nice!" "Why?" "Why do you do these foolish things?" "I couldn't stop thinking about you..." "Kissing me." "What if someone comes?" "I feel better now, we can go." "Richard." "Help me." "Help me." "Benedetta." "Hello?" ""The doctor isn't here right now..."" ""You can leave a message after..."" "She's dead!" "How did it happen?" "I don't know." "I believe you, but..." "What if they find out?" "Those photos really are incriminating now." "Drink it." "What are you going to do now?" "Do you have any ideas?" "Do you want to call the police?" "We don't have any other choice." "I knew she was high." "I can't call the police." "Not so much for me, but for her and her father." "Poor girl." "It must have all been too much for her." "Will you help me?" "Well?" "Have you made a decision?" "Don't keep asking me." "Please." "I told you my reasons." "What if I get caught?" "It's a crime, you know." "Concealing a corpse." "How will they find out?" "I would have to tell them your name." "I give you my word, Sandro." "I did everything, alone." "Okay." "But promise me one thing..." "You'll go on behaving as if nothing's happened." "But something has happened." "Nothing's happened, understood?" "You spend your weekends at your country home, right?" "Usually, yes." "Good..." "Then you'll go there this weekend." "And the photographs?" "I'll find that man." "We'll pay him if we have to." "You should return home." "Lilla." "Hi." "I didn't hear you coming in?" "I was just passing by to collect these." "I've been thinking about coming home." "But not tomorrow." "And why not tomorrow?" "I have to go." "No, Richard, I'm not coming back now." "When I really feel the need to, you'll suddenly find me here." "Well..." "Goodbye." "Enjoy your weekend." "He's watching us, I'm sure of it." "Even when I was child he would watch me from the window." "No, don't look, he'll realise we've noticed." "They sold one of those cameras last month..." "But the assistant is new and the manager has gone to Germany on business." "I'm not very lucky, who knows when he'll return if he's in Germany." "But why?" "He should be back soon." "Sandro, why are you helping me?" "For a number of reasons..." "Because I respect you." "For my father." "And Lilla?" "You saw us together, didn't you?" "From the window." "I love her." "Have you told her?" "No, nothing." "Are you leaving soon?" "I promised." "I'll keep you informed." "Emilio, why don't you take a few days off." "I won't be needing you." "As you wish." "I bought some supplies yesterday, you'll find everything in the fridge." "Have a good weekend." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "The 27th of April, 15:20..." "His safety seems already cracked." "Like a criminal who feels like he's being hunted." "Who doesn't know where to turn to any more." "But his self-defence mechanisms are still functioning." "The idea of an inevitable defeat has barely touched his mind." "He continues torturing himself trying to find a way out of this nightmare." "And he will go on torturing himself for as long as we want him to." "Let's go, you shouldn't stay out in the sun too long." "Yes, it's better." "The effects will wear off soon, you'll see." "If he offers you more money, take it." "Okay." "But I don't think he will." "He considers me one of the family now." "Does your head spin?" "A little." "Perhaps it's my fault?" "I took too much." "What do you prove by destroying that man?" "You, as his daughter." "I won't prove anything." "Absolutely nothing." "Why hasn't he turned up?" "I didn't have anything special to tell you..." "Not even now." "You could've called, at least?" "Everything's okay at the tennis club, no one saw you with the girl." "You can relax." "Has the manager of that shop returned from Germany?" "Yes, he's returned, I spoke to him." "He sold the camera, to someone in the university." "We're back to square one." "Please take it." "For your expenses." "As you wish." "If it makes you feel better." "But you're making a mistake." "A man like you..." "You shouldn't reduce yourself to this..." "And for what?" "For a girl like so many others?" "She loved me, and I loved her." "Professor Dossi is offering his hand to a tennis instructor." "He'd even lick Sandro's shoes." "It must be hard for someone like him." "You were right, he forced me to accept a cheque." "But why?" "Why does he trust you so completely?" "He doesn't use his own initiative, he doesn't do anything." "He trusts me." "No, that's not it..." "He's planning something." "But what?" "What's wrong little butterfly?" "Are you sad, stuck in there?" "I don't want you to suffer, fly away." "An E-Fit of my murderer." "But he's more handsome." "You know that man is really suffering because of you." "He said he loved you." "And he's convinced you loved him." "You like making love to me, don't you?" "Jealous?" "But why?" "You're still strong, not like me." "But I'm jealous too, young people are so beautiful." "It's a pleasure just to watch them." "Do you miss Richard?" "I'm going." "I'll wait for you up there, it's too windy, I'm cold." "We must tell him about Benedetta's father, don't forget." "Okay, okay." "Don't leave the bunker, if Richard sees you..." "Yes, sorry." "You're right." "Sunday, 28th of April." "22:40..." "I was right, he's still here." "He's usually on his way back to the city at this time." "Evidently, he doesn't have the courage to go back to his normal life..." "As though nothing had happened." "The girl's father called the tennis club from Switzerland..." "He was looking for her." "He left a message, he wanted to let Benedetta know he's arriving tomorrow." "I understand." "Yes, perhaps it's better this way." "Don't you feel well?" "I thought I'd never be strong enough to talk about what has happened..." "Writing it is easier." "Please leave me alone." "Did you hear me?" "Leave me alone." "Sandro." "It's my fault." "I wanted to see what it feels like to be a prisoner." "An animal in a trap." "I like you." "How long have you been here?" "An hour, maybe more." "I could stay here all night." "What if he sees you?" "It would be an exciting encounter." "I haven't thought about it." "You like Richard, don't you?" "I like the way you kiss." "I knew you'd like it." "You're scared of Lilla, aren't you?" "You didn't like me sleeping with Richard..." "But you didn't say anything because you were scared of Lilla." "You're scared now as well." "And you're jealous, but only because you hate him so much." "You prefer women like Lilla." "I..." "I prefer weak men." "Like you." "I'm happy I've stolen something that belonged to Lilla." "But I don't care if you don't love me." "You too..." "You love me, don't you?" "In this heaven on earth, it couldn't be any different." "Do you really believe in these things?" "When I'm happy, yes, I believe." "But in heaven on earth the snake is the devil." "You're not happy." "Yes, I am." "As happy as a prison warden, or a prisoner." "There isn't much difference." "You know what I always dream?" "I'm in a road in the city..." "With hundreds of other students, I'm also a student in my dream..." "The police charge at us, they attack us with their truncheons..." "But we run away." "Then I shout." ""Attack them!"" "And we fight back, we punch and kick them." "It's a clean fight." "Clear." "I'm going to sleep, goodnight." "Benedetta and I have decided..." "We're going to tell him everything." "Why?" "Because you made love and you think I..." "But what does it mean?" "Why should I care?" "That isn't the reason why..." "It's because this is a dirty story and it serves no purpose." "We can't change the world using the same underhand tactics as them." "The same dirty methods of this world." "You're scared, aren't you?" "You're both scared." "I succeeded." "I scared you..." "You already told me everything." "How can you scare me?" "He's surrendered, he isn't doing anything to defend himself any more." "Poor Sandro, you fell for it like a little child." "He made you pity him..." "He acted the part of the defeated man very well..." "But you don't know what he's capable of." "He could still destroy us." "No, really..." "He's a broken man." "Perhaps he had it before?" "Something wrong, something bad." "A little man, that's what he is." "He let me down in this as well." "He fooled me right up to the end." "But this is personal for you, isn't that true?" "Between you and your father." "A strange personal matter." "And you?" "Do you agree with him?" "I don't like this any more." "You only liked it when you slept with him." "So what if I did?" "You just used us for this game between you and him." "You wanted to hurt him." "But I'd like him to fight back." "That he grinds us down, and he wins." "Because you love him." "No." "Yes!" "Because you're in love with your father." "Richard!" "Richard." "You wait here." "Why did you do it?" "Did you want to blackmail me?" "Well?" "Why?" "It's true, I hurt you, I deceived you..." "But I also loved you." "I'll tell you why we hate you." "We want to destroy you..." "And everyone like you." "So you would have done it for your ideals." "And Lilla?" "Why isn't she here with you?" "Lilla also did it for her ideals, for her convictions." "She must hate me so much." "Subtitled by the First House on the Right..." "Special thanks to Annamaria."
