"Episode 1x05 Subtitles by Oliver Sanderson" "David was gone and I felt very alone." "None of the Bracelets was able to sleep last night," "And soon they'll all come to me." "It always happens this way when we feel sad." "We need to be together, us Red Bracelets." "The operation was very delicate and Davide knew it." "He knew all the risks." "Why didn't you tell us?" "He didn't tell you because..." "he didn't want you to worry." "He was hoping to be able to tell you everything later." "In his own way, perhaps with a joke." "Accepting a death so unexpected, so sudden, isn't easy for anyone, I assure you." "Especially for you, who are so young." "But you must be strong, guys." "You have to keep fighting courageously, as you've always done." "You owe it to yourself and you also owe it to Davide." "Because he fought until the end." "I can't." "Yes you can." "You can." "I think of him there, alone." "I wonder if he felt anything, and I wonder if he suffered!" "An absurd death." "Yes Leo, an absurd death, but that's how it is." "It's part of life." "My Grandfather always says that too." "He says that I have to get used to it because one day he'll be gone." "But how do you?" "One does." "One does." "But it's not fair." "Come on, guys!" "Courage!" "Courage, Cristina!" "I'm here." "If you need anything, I'm here." "I have to go downstairs, my father has been waiting for me a long time." "Sorry, I'm going too, I need some time alone." "I also want to spend some time alone, I'm going for a stroll." "I knew where Leo was going." "It was his secret." "Why are you following me?" "Because I don't like to be alone." "Yes, but if one had a secret?" "Okay, let's go, but you mustn't say anything." "Yes, leader!" "Are you taking the piss?" "No, I swear!" "Come on." "When Leo was feeling lonely and sad, to find courage, he needed the White Bracelets." "They're twins, they were born yesterday evening, at around 7 pm." "The time that Davide..." "Yes, around that time." "Two new White Bracelets, the stork will have really struggled." "I think that one shouldn't choose names in advance." "What?" "This one, for instance..." "It's no good calling him Alberto." "Why?" "Because he doesn't look like an Alberto." "What does he look like?" "He could be called..." "Davide." "Actually he has the look of one who says," ""Toni, are you done bitching?"" "Yes, it's definitely a Davide." "I hope I got what you like." "Yes, thanks, Dad." "I thought about what you said to me the other day." "I don't think I've become the Dad I wanted to be." "This morning I came to explain things," "But just now your Mom called and told me about your friend, Davide." "Where is Mom?" "She's on her way." "Is there something I can do?" "Yes, there is." "What?" "Hug me." "I can't believe that Davide is no longer here." "It's too much for me." "Why?" "Why?" "It was me who lent it to him." "He wanted to try his first shave." "But Davide didn't have a beard." "He wasn't thinking about that." "Do you already do it yourself?" "Just to be ready when it comes." "Are you going now?" "Yes." "I'm waiting for Davide's Dad and then we'll go." "When is the funeral?" "Tomorrow." "In a church near the sea." "Leo..." "Being part of a group, changed Davide so much." "I'd never seen him so happy before." "I think that if his last days were filled... with joy and love, it was thanks to you." "Goodbye." "Goodbye, Bracelets." "Bye." "Goodbye." "Thank you." "The funeral is tomorrow." "I'm going to tell Lisandri that we're going." "We're coming with you." "Yes, but it's better if I go in alone." "If the four of us go in, I'll lose focus." "Hello." "Hello." "They're the Red Bracelets." "Leo, Vale, Toni and Cris." "And then there's Rocco, but you already know him." "Lilia... and Davide have told me so much about you." "And now I feel like I know you very well." "I'm not one to talk much." "But let me tell you something." "If you need help, in here or out there..." "I'll be here for you." "Yes." "Yes." "This is for you." "Watanka." "Now you're one of us." "I'm one of you." "Goodbye." "Lisandri." "Lisandri." "Let's go." "I can't, Leo, I'm sorry." "I just can't give permission for this." "But he's our friend, he'd want us nearby in that church." "Yes I know." "You're under our responsibility, and I cannot authorize this release" "There will be so many people." "We are his friends and we cannot go there!" "Nicola is going, he's also a patient." "Nicola is an adult, Leo." "He signs, relieving us of all responsibility." "Well then I'll sign, too." "We'll all sign." "But you're underage, I need an authorization from your parents." "You just want to make our lives difficult." "That's not true." "Yes it is!" "Calm down, you'll hurt your hand." "Show me." "Leave me alone." "Leo!" "What happened to you?" "Nothing," "I gave the cabinet a punch." "Did you hear about Davide?" "Everybody knows." "He was one who shouldn't have died and instead he ended up in this damn hospital." "They won't even give us permission to go to the funeral!" "Well?" "So now, you wait for someone's permission?" "So Vale, the wound is better and also the analysis is good." "We can discharge you." "Discharge me?" "The next dressings and physiotherapy... can be done at your local hospital." "What's this face?" "Aren't you glad to go home?" "When will this happen?" "Tomorrow." "Today we'll contact the doctors who'll look after you when you get home." "Are you happy, Vale!" "When is Leo getting out?" "Leo must finish his batch of chemo." "The journey takes many hours." "Can we do it by car?" "Sure." "If you drop by in 10 minutes, I'll show you the medical records." "Ok." "Hey, Vale." "Vale!" "Vale, where are you going?" "Wait!" "Where's he going?" "Goodbye." "Goodbye, thank you." "Wait." "Hello." "Hello." "What is it?" "Speak up." "I'm being discharged tomorrow." "It's not up to me, I can do the convalescence outside." "No!" "You need another 3 weeks." "I know when someone can get out." "I've seen a thousand operations like yours." "You haven't seen a thousand." "A hundred." "You haven't even seen 50." "Anyway, I've seen more than you." "So?" "Lisandri had nothing to do with the decision to discharge you." "It's your parents who don't want you to stay here." "What's so strange?" "All parents want their children home." "Right now they're not thinking about you, they're thinking about themselves." "It's them who want to get back home, to see if they can pick up the pieces." "What do you know about my parents?" "I see it." "They don't embrace, don't speak, or touch each other." "You're right, they're separating." "Then there's no reason to go away, but you're going away anyway." "I also want to go home, go to the movies, to school." "I want to see my old friends..." "Shit!" "Who am I?" "Aren't I your friend?" "Leo, I..." "Sure!" "For you I'm a series "B" friend." "No..." "What are the Bracelets to you?" "Your second-hand friends?" "The spare wheel, the innkeeper's children?" "Enough!" "I know you're upset about Davide and I am, too." "Sure?" "Yes, of course." "I don't know, maybe you don't even care about him." "How can you talk bullshit like that?" "you can't possibly think that." "And don't say I loved Davide less than you, because it's not true." "I say what I think." "Me, too, and I think you're a jerk!" "Does Cris know?" "What?" "Knows that she's just the hospital girlfriend?" "Does she know that when you go home, perhaps you've another?" "The real girlfriend!" "Don't bring Cris into this!" "Bastard!" "Lie back down." "One day you'll tell me what happened to you, eh?" "Carlo, nothing broken." "Thank you, Francesco." "You're welcome." "Think about him, not me, I massacred him." "It's not true, I'm fine." "You can see." "Ask your nose..." "Enough!" "Luckily you haven't broken my watch." "This will sting a little, eh, Leo." "No worries." "Anyway, nothing can hurt me." "Ok." "Son of a bitch!" "Shit, Carlo!" "Damn you!" "Quiet!" "I have to go away for a moment, no fighting." "What's happened?" "Have you been fighting?" "A bit." "Why?" "Because they're discharging him and I told him he shouldn't go." "Not on a day like this." "You told him while beating him?" "Each has his own language." "Vale, are you really leaving us?" "It wasn't my choice, they've discharged me." "You can't stay here if you're well, they need the rooms for other patients." "Losing a Bracelet is hard, but to lose two..." "Shit!" "Are you starting now too?" "It isn't my fault..." "Enough!" "Subject closed." "Ok?" "How are you, Toni?" "Sad." "I think we should say goodbye to Davide." "I think the same thing, we have to go to the funeral." "Yeah, but how?" "Lisandri has said no." "And who cares about Lisandri ?" "You'll see, I'll find a way, but tomorrow we go." "Bravo, Leo!" "So let it be said, so it is written, and so it shall be done." "Leader!" "Hi." "Vale!" "I need to talk to you." "What have you done?" "Nothing, it's just a scratch." "Leo's going to the funeral." "Without permission?" "I don't know, he wouldn't tell me, but I'm here to tell you something else." "Tell me, what is it?" "It's something that concerns us." "I..." "Do you want to break up?" "If you want to break up..." "No." "What did you hear?" "Not that." "Then what's the problem?" "Nothing important." "Can I stay a while here?" "Sure." "Guys..." "Sorry to disturb you, It's maybe not the best of moments, but Vale, I have to take you to administration." "They're preparing the papers for your release." "Where are you going?" "Cris, I came to tell you this, that..." "Gionni, where is he going?" "I..." "Vale!" "I'll wait outside." "Well?" "They're discharging me." "When?" "Tomorrow." "I'm sorry, I didn't know how to tell you." "So you thought it'd be better not to tell me, and disappear from one day to the next without telling me anything" "Fortunately it wasn't something important." "Wait, Cris!" "Leave me alone!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Cristina, is that you?" "Cris!" "Carola!" "Cris, you all right?" "No." "Do you want me to come there?" "No." "You know that Davide..." "Maybe you didn't even see him, he was the complete opposite of me." "He was strong and not afraid of anything." "But yesterday, while they were operating on him, he didn't make it." "Cris, I'm coming there." "Cris, wait for me." "No, don't worry, I'll manage." "Cris!" "Cris!" "Finally the dawn had arrived." "Davide was missed by everyone." "The room, without him, had become sad." "We knew that today it was important go to the church to say goodbye to him." "Good morning, Laura." "Hello, Piera." "You know that he's still there?" "He spent the whole night, He doesn't want to break away from Davide." "Then what has he decided?" "He did it, he signed." "However, he doesn't want it to be known." "In his eyes you can see that he's a special person." "Good day, Laura." "Goodbye." "Toni, this morning I go to court, there's a hearing for your accident." "I'm here to pick up the X-rays." "Are you worried?" "Yes." "I'm afraid that they'll take custody of you away from me." "But you just have to tell the truth." "You know that someone of your age can't ride bikes of that capacity." "So I don't know what to do, I can't tell the truth." "Fish!" "What fish?" "You can't tell the truth, but you don't have to lie." "So you have to be dumb as a fish." "Good morning." "Good morning..." "Oh!" "But who's this?" "Take off your glasses." "He's Bruno's, he'll be sharing the room with you for a while." "But he's very pale, he looks like a vampire." "Bruno's not a vampire, he's just a little pale." "Yes, pale like a vampire." "He has low defenses, he has a kidney acting up." "So, Doctor, do you have the X-rays?" "Yes, together in the yellow envelope." "You can come in if you want." "But doesn't the vampire talk?" "He's a little scared." "What's his problem?" "He needs a transplant to avoid dialysis, take care of him." "I always take care of my roommates." "Goodbye Toni." "Bye." "That's my Grandfather, he's going to court." "Toni, shut up!" "Did you see?" "Vampire-fish!" "Shut up." "What's up with your kidneys?" "What's this about the transplant?" "Nothing!" "It's OK." "Maybe instead of the kidney, they should give you a new tongue." "Toni's good nature would succeed in making even a stone talk." "Or indeed, a fish!" "And sooner or later he'll also get Bruno to speak... the vampire!" "Hey... are you sad, Bruno?" "I'm not sad, I'm anxious." "About what?" "Maybe they found a donor, there's a possibility of a transplant." "But they won't say anything." "The doctors must find out if I'm compatible." "And if you're not?" "I'll have to wait for another donor." "Here Vale, put on these." "It's so long since I've worn normal clothes, it seems like I've been here a lifetime." "So much has happened." "Mom, did you ask Lisandri to discharge me?" "Come on, Vale!" "Get dressed." "Tell me the truth, I know it's so." "You and Dad have insisted with the doctor, right?" "After all that happened during the last few hours we saw you so upset, so stricken..." "I'm like everyone else, we're upset, but I don't want to leave." "We asked it to be brought forward by a few days, we wanted to take away some suffering after Davide's death." "I can't go away." "Vale, it's decided now." "Nothing is decided." "I decide about my life, not you." "I'm staying, I can't leave." "I'm not going with you to help you solve your problems." "I need my friends and they need me." "Do you think it's the right thing?" "I don't want to run away from problems like you and Dad." "Do you understand that?" "Yes, I understand." "But sometimes, I pretend not to see the problems, it helps you keep going." "When you're older, maybe you'll understand." "No, I won't be like that, Mom." "I won't be that kind of person when I'm older, I'll be different." "I hope so." "I really hope so." "So can I stay?" "Yes, you can." "Thanks." "I'm sorry for you and Dad." "I know you're hurting, but even if he's not there, I'll be there, Mom." "I'm not leaving you." "Now that Vale had got to stay, he could join the others to participate in the great escape."

"Do you know what I decided when some of my friends started to die?" "To die of what?" "Over the years, you start to lose people... along the way." "At first, for those who remain it's hard going." "You're always asking yourself, "Why him and not me?" "Why?"" "I've asked that myself about Davide." "I've spent a lot more time in the operating room than he did." "Indeed." "Then we decided to divide up the life of the friend that was gone." "Divide it how?" "Trying to fulfill his dreams, to experience the things he didn't have the time to." "Did it work?" "Yes, and there's an advantage." "When you do something that the friend would have enjoyed that you have inside you, it's good, you feel good." "It's like living a life to the full, for you and another." "Give it a try with the others." "Davide will be a part of all of you, and that way you'll continue to stay together." "And Davide will make your group..." "eternal." "I have to tell you something important, Bruno is compatible with the donor." "They'll to the transplant." "For real?" "Yes, but we have to move you to a specialist clinic." "Get ready." "Hurry up, your parents are coming to get you." "All right." "That kidney that Bruno should have, whose is it?" "Of a young boy." "Of a young boy that no longer exists?" "Yes." "But did he decide?" "No, his father has signed for him." "What?" "Carletto!" "Carletto, but that young boy, by chance, was he..." "He was a kid like any other who liked rock music, football." "and being with his friends." "Is it him?" "But the kid's father doesn't want it to be known." "Yes." "I know you can you keep a secret."

"He says that it sounds good to him." "He agrees." "Great." "We're 5, so that gives each of us about..." "20%." "Just what I was going to say." "Sure." "20% of Davide's life, and each of us will live things for him." "For example?" "Anything." "A trip..." "A dance." "Yes." "A swim." "Nice!" "When I go out, I'll make him try... "Mmmmiiii!"" "What's that?" "The wind on a motorbike." "Guys, Davide said that one of his dreams was to form a band." "Yes." "Let's form our own group." "We'll start immediately." "What shall we sing?"

"Beforehand I was thinking of our pact and of the things that Davide couldn't have done." "Yes, I was thinking the same thing." "Do you think he ever had a girlfriend?" "Well, he was too young to..." "Well, I mean..." "I don't believe so, like you, right?" "You've never done either." "And you?" "And you?" "And you?" "And you?" "Do you know who I really fancy?" "That drives me crazy!" "Who?" "I can't tell you." "Leo, we're friends, tell me." "No, you know her well." "Exactly Leo, just tell me." "The radiologist." "She's a stunner!" "Yes, the radiologist." "No, the radiologist isn't discussed, period!" "No, of course." "I shouldn't say this because we were going to church..." "Today, Cris, while we were in the elevator," "She raised her arms to tie her hair up and..." "That doesn't count, that's love." "It's not love, that's another thing." "What shall we do?" "Go to sleep?" "Yes, all right." "Good night, Leo." "Good night." "Anyway you haven't ever done it, right?" "What do you know about it?" "I can see it in your face." "I can see it in your face." "In yours." "No, in yours." "How can it be you've never done it." "How come you haven't done it." "Just ask the radiologist." "Idiot!" "Good night." "Night, Leo." "Lisandri and I hadn't slept a wink." "I knew that today I'd be turned inside out." "Soon, for them, I'd become a different person... from the usual Rocco they knew." "The doctors would look at me differently, and I'd feel as if taking an exam at school." "Piera, we're ready." "Yes, I know." "Please, you must leave now." "Can't I stay with him?" "No, you'd better not." "Rocco's afraid of the dark." "It won't be dark in there." "What if he has trouble breathing?" "He won't have any trouble." "You can watch from the window." "Please, I want to be with him, doctor." "There's also radiation that's harmful to you." "I beg you." "Don't plead, I understand." "All right, you can stay." "Take off anything metal." "Antonio, a protective apron for the lady." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Okay." "Darling." "Piera, the sliding table will now start to go inward." "You must let go of him." "Please." "Show me your arms." "You see?" "There's a slight tremor." "You're excited, and that's normal, but the CT scan may not be clear." "Ok." "Then I'll hold his foot." "Okay." "Piera, can you hear me?" "Yes." "Then we'll begin." "Now he must remain motionless." "Excuse me..." "But the fact that he sang is a good sign, right?" "You seem worried to me." "We don't know why there's been such a sudden change." "It's usually a gradual process." "But sometimes it happens." "Yes, but it's very hard to believe what the kids said." "I believe it, I believe that he sang." "The kids would never have told me a lie." "They know that if they did..." "I know, Piera, but now..." "Yes, I won't say anything anymore." "We'll start the sled." "My pet." "Sing, darling." "Sing, darling, do it for me." "Do it for your Mom." "Unfortunately I couldn't please her, it wasn't my decision." "Neither was it my decision earlier." "I had sung, but I didn't even know how it had happened." "And then in that tube I was so afraid." "Piera, can you hear me?" "Don't move and don't shake otherwise it's better that you go out." "Okay, I won't shake." "And no crying." "Okay, I won't cry, I promise." "Leader, since Vale decided not to go away anymore, those two are even more..." "Cheep!" "Cheep!" "Cheep!" "Hey?" "Yes, I've seen." "You fancied Cris, right?" "What?" "No!" "What are you saying?" "And she fancied you too." "But what do you know?" "It seemed so to me." "So says the great expert!" "Davide said it too." "He was wrong." "I never fancied Cris." "But when doing "cheep cheep", she looks at you." "What the hell is this "cheep cheep"?" "Guys, we've just started, it's useless for you to stay here." "We'll let you know when we finish." "No, we'll stay." "Rocco knows we're here." "He knows?" "He knows." "If he sang, it means he'll wake up, right?" "Sara, can you come?" "Yes." "Return to your rooms." "We'll let you know when he comes out." "But you didn't answer Vale." "Sometimes, even if they speak or sing, do they not wake up?" "Sometimes yes, and sometimes no." "They don't want to tell us anything." "I'm staying here." "You promised to accompany me." "I know, but I don't trust them." "I'm staying here." "Then will you go with me, Vale?" "Because my Grandpa is coming back from the court." "Coming?" "Let's go." "Come on." "Still nothing it seems." "No" "There's no change in activity to be seen." "The mother is so hopeful." "Maybe the kids have made it all up." "Or maybe they did something that we're not doing." "What?" "I don't know." "They said they put on some music and they all sang together." "Can we put on some music here?" "Yes." "Can you play it in the CT room?" "Yes." "What do you think?" "Go ahead, let's see what happens." "Piera, can you hear me?" "Yes, I'm listening." "Is there any particular music that Rocco likes?" "I don't know..." "One of those that boys of his age like." "We'd like to try to stimulate him with music." "Does anything come to mind?" "I'm anxious, my mind is blocked, I can't think of anything." "Don't worry, we'll take care of it." "Put on some music." "Ah!" "There's a CD on the bedside table in Rocco's room." "It's a gift from Davide, the kids love it." "I'll handle that." "Guys, we need a favour for Rocco." "We need to fetch some music for him, the CD that Davide gave him." "In the drawers!" "Here it is." "Come on." "Found it!" "Give it to me, you can't stay here." "Leo, Cris!" "Let them." "Give it to me, Leo." "I'll do it." "# Each time I walk and I seem to have you near." "# each time I look around, each time I realize, # every time the day dawns." "# And each time I wake up, each time I make a mistake" "Sing, darling." "Please sing for me." "# and whenever I feel alone, # every time I remember... # something that has nothing to do with it, each time..." "He's singing Doctor, he's singing!" "# And each time I'm not coherent and each time that's not important, # each time someone... #" "Don't you hear him?" "He's singing!" "Doctor, look here." "I'm looking." "What is it?" "Guys, you have to go now." "What's happened?" "We have to work." "Leo, Cris, go on, outside." "He sang!" "He sang!" "I don't understand." "Do you think he sang?" "I don't know." "What can be happening to him?" "They won't tell us anything." "I know who can help us." "Who?" "Doctor Alfredi." "In here, he's the only one who always tells the truth." "So we go to him." "Yes, but we need to get Rocco's medical records." "You're not thinking of..." "Me?" "No!" "You're crazy!" "If you don't want to..." "Of course I want to, let's go." "Hello, Toni." "Hello Grandpa, how did it go at court?" "Bad Toni, very bad." "How do you mean, bad?" "The court decided that I haven't taken good care of you." "It's not true." "They've taken custody away from me." "So?" "So..." "So you'll have to go and live in a community." "What's a community?" "The community is a foster home, where there are lots of other boys like you." "When do I have to go to the community?" "As soon as you leave from here." "As long as I'm here, who has cusdody?" "I do." "So for now I've no worries." "No, because we're talking about... a few days and then they'll discharge you, you're well." "Damn!" "I knew it." "Didn't your lawyer try to explain what type of person Toni is?" "What type am I?" "What's he like?" "You're kinda..." "Special." "Lucky for us you're very special." "I didn't have a lawyer, I defended myself." "By yourself?" "You should have had a lawyer." "I know, it would have been better." "But it's too late now." "I have an idea." "Where is it?" "This way." "Excuse me?" "Guys, what are you doing here?" "They're still in there." "Come." "In a minute they'll finish the round." "Look out." "Down!" "Come on." "Do you remember the last time that we hid?" "Of course I remember." "Did I try anything?" "No, otherwise you'd have lost your arm." "Oh great." "You'd take an arm from a guy who already doesn't have a leg..." "You're a witch." "Wait." "Look out!" "Here they are." "They're finally leaving." "Yes?" "Leo?" "No, I haven't seen him." "Yes, I'll bring it myself." "Bye." "I'll take a quick look." "Let's go." "We have to search the Radiology computer." "I'll handle that." "Am I stupid?" "No, but I'm faster with the computer." "So am I." "Hey, is everything a contest for you?" "Go on, I'll stand watch." "So..." "How are you doing?" "Wait." "Find anything?" "Not yet, but..." "But what?" "Shut up, you're distracting me." "Well hurry up." "Found it!" "I've found it Leo." "There's also the tests he just did." "You're a genius." "Sorry." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." "I didn't mean to either." "Pass me that memory stick." "There." "Every now and then I get a doubt." "What?" "You remind me of someone I saw in a film," "At first she's nice and sweet, but then it turns out that she's in the Secret Service and leaves you speechless." "You're such a romantic, you." "Let's go." "How's it going with Vale?" "Why do you ask?" "Is there anything in particular you wanted to know?" "No, I was just curious." "Are you interested in our relationship?" "Yes, you're my friends." "I understand, but... sometimes you make me nervous." "Why?" "Because you pretend to be interested, but you don't give a crap." "I just asked..." "Yes, Vale and I are doing fine." "Stupid question!" "Does this have anything to do with us kissing before?" "Absolutely not!" "Besides, that wasn't a kiss." "It wasn't a real kiss." "Indeed, it wasn't a real kiss." "Ah!" "What's wrong?" "I don't know, but I can't see out of this eye anymore." "You're exaggerating!" "It hurts." "Have a look." "Is it red?" "No, there's nothing there." "And this?" "This was a real kiss." "Why?" "I don't know." "What do you mean, you don't know?" "I don't know, I did it because I felt like doing it." "I swear it wasn't planned... but I loved it." "And you?" "Yes, me too." "Cris isn't here, have you seen her?" "No, I haven't seen her since this morning." "Okay." "Come in!" "Hello." "Hello." "Hello, I haven't seen you for a while." "Yesterday, you didn't come to Davide's funeral." "I never go to funerals." "I was here to try to understand why the surgery went wrong." "Is the only thing I know how to do." "What?" "Try to understand." "This is the reason we're here, a friend of ours has been been in coma for 8 months." "You mean Rocco?" "Yes." "Yes, and last night he suddenly he started talking." "He said some words, but no one tells us anything." "In my opinion, they don't understand it at all." "Here are all of Rocco's tests, from first to last." "Where did you get that?" "I'll tell you, if you tell me what it means." "Truth for truth." "Give it to me." "Rocco's case is very complex." "Undoubtedly, there has been a pressure change, and excessive pressure, is never a good thing." "You did well to come to me, I'll keep this." "You stay here." "Where are you off to?" "I'm going to talk to Lisandri." "This is crazy." "Let's go." "No, wait." "It's comfortable, here." "Let's stay a little longer." "Better not." "("Little Davide.")" "("After struggling with all his strength, he's gone.")" "("Yes, he didn't make it through.")" "("Davide is still here, in front of me, with his honest eyes,")" "("wanting to know the truth.")" "("After having experienced so closely, so many times, the transience of life,")" "("I still cannot accept death with the serenity it deserves.")" "("And after so many years,")" "("before the death of a boy I find myself still vulnerable,")" "("and I cried.")" "Maria Pia, I need to talk to you." "Yes, I'm coming." "No, I need to talk to you about him." "Thanks." "Toni's grandpa didn't have a lawyer and defended himself by himself." "Is there really nothing to be done?" "He could appeal." "And in the meantime, what they decided must be carried out?" "He can also lodge an objection." "And then?" "And then it depends on the case." "You can request a review or make an appeal." "He needs a good lawyer." "Yes." "Here she is." "No..." "Vale, I've left," "But there are good lawyers..." "I know, Mom." "But you're the cleverest, you left to stay close to me." "But now I don't need anything, I want you to go back to work." "I've so many thoughts and I don't even know if I'd be able to do it any more." "Here's a good way to keep them away." "Come on, do it for Toni, do it for me." "And do it for yourself too." "We'll need the papers." "Ah!" "But here, what's this?" "The Court papers!" "Toni's grandfather gave them to me." "Read it." "Now?" "Yes." "All right." "You're getting smart." "Will it be Leo's influence?" " Yes." "I've been looking for you everywhere." "Were you with Leo?" "Yes, why?" "I thought I had the freedom to be with who I want." "Yes, but don't get angry." "I'm sorry." "Don't worry, we're all a little nervous." "The reason I came, was to tell you Ulisse was bringing Rocco to his room." "Rocco?" "Yes." "Then let's go." "Yes." "May I introduce Dr. Alfredi." "A pleasure." "Likewise, Piera." "Let's sit down." "Have a seat." "Thank you." "Piera, Rocco's neurological activity is highly unstable." "This can mean two things, an improvement or a deterioration." "We're at a crossroads." "But he sang." "Yes, but..." "He did so after a long silence." "Why should it be a deterioration." "I didn't say that." "So maybe I didn't understand." "You're upset." "Of course, I'm upset." "Signora, listen to me." "The most beautiful thing has happened to your son." "The sleep in which he has been immersed for so many months, maybe coming to an end." "The diaphragm that separated him from real life has thinned, and with a little effort it can fall." "But this exposes him to a very high risk." "It's as if in these last hours," "Rocco has succeeded in breaking the shell that imprisoned him." "The thinnest veil has remained only," "But we have to remove this veil otherwise everything will be lost." "What are you telling me?" "I'm telling you that we need to operate on him." "But this choice is up to you." "And if you operate, what are the risks?" "That he may not make it through." "And if you don't operate?" "If we don't operate, he's likely to remain as he is, perhaps for a few days or maybe forever." "How long do I have to decide?" "Tonight, Piera." "What would you do in my place?" "That I cannot tell you." "I cannot influence your choice..." "Come on, Doctor!" "We've known each other a long time." "I know we're different, but I trust you." "Please!" "I need to know what you'd do in my place." "I..." "I haven't had children." "I would have liked them, but they didn't come." "All the books I've read, all the experiences I've had, don't count for anything before your heart, just listen to that." "Listen to that." "Good evening." "What do the doctors say?" "Toni, can you hear Rocco?" "Sometimes I think I can." "You think you hear him, or you really hear him?" "I don't know..." "I hear him, I believe." "Tell me, can you hear him now?" "No." "But I can try again." "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "Rocco, can you hear me?" "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "Rocco!" "No, I can't hear him anymore," "I'm unable to." "Till now he's always answered me."
