Wait!
Where isthe car?
- Down there.
- Give methe keys, I'll drive.
They shot you in the shoulder.
Come on! It's nothing, come on...
Come in!
Don't move.
Relax...
Keep calm...
If you want me to remove it,
try not to move.
Here it is...
Wait...
Here it is.
A nice shot, eh?
A 9 mm calibre!
Be careful not to dirty my carpet!
At last you did a good job.
Drink.
Yes, it's me.
Nothing serious.
The doctor's sewing him up.
The car? It's in the garage.
Of course.
- I'll make it disappear.
- You've got to disappear too!
Nobody saw me,
the car's not in my name!
And where do I fit in?
You knew Zuco wouldn't
have liked this game.
And I don't like how it
finished either.
I'm a peaceful man,
When things are quiet
business goes superbly,
but if you start shooting up
the streets, you're finished!
You'd better disappear for a while,
paid holiday.
No, don't argue.
I'm the one who decides.
A bit of fresh air will do
you good, you'll see!
Dickheads,
that's what you are!
You can only kill women
doing their shopping!
A richochet,
that son of a bitch...
He's gone over to the competition
with all our business!
I should have killed him myself.
Because people like you can't
be trusted. You're dickheads.
He was just lucky,
next time he won't get away.
- Consider him dead.
- What? I'll kill you...
Gas?
Look at this!
It's about the mafia in Sicily.
For me Milan's become a
district of Palermo, right?
- Capuccino and a brioche, right?
- Yes, dear.
No, just a minute.
Accountant, what did you have?
Don't worry, Mr Farina.
It's my turn today.
If you insist!
and a chocolate kiss.
- Miss, will you give me a chocolate kiss?
- Here, that's 520.
Do you always ask money for kisses?
From cheeky types like you, always.
- Have you got a phone?
- Yes, over there.
Give me 10 tokens.
And a coffee, thanks.
One coffee.
- Can you give me change?
- What?
For the juke-box, can you give me change?
Your coffee, sir.
Oh, yes... thank you.
- Till tomorrow.
- Good night, Anna.
Nice car, isn't it?
- Do you have 100 lire?
- What did you say?
I need 100 lire for cigarettes,
will you lend it to me?
- Here.
- Very kind.
No, just a minute, don't leave.
I'll pay you back straight away.
- Your 100 lire.
- Does it always work?
No, but I always try.
Can I offer you a lift?
No, thanks.
I live near here.
Fine, I can have a
little walk as well.
- Cigarette?
- No.
What excitement! Everything's
closed, dark. Is it always like this?
I don't envy you at all.
What happens in Bergamo
after 9 in the evening?
I don't know about the others,
but I go to bed.
Alone?
It was just a question,
I don't know the provincial customs.
- How do you ask about it here?
- Good night, I'm home.
You're beautiful...
but it's not just that.
There something in you
that interests me.
A kind of contrast,
your head's full of dreams.
And you're afraid of life,
maybe you just need some affection.
My name's Giulio, and you?
- It's 10 o'clock.
- And you're still not in bed, eh?
But now I'm going.
Now I'm really home, I live there.
Good night.
Good night.
A coffee and a Fernet Branca.
I'll be here for you at 9 tonight.
Just to tell you that I can't come out.
- I may be leaving tomorrow.
- Where are you going?
Milan.
The way you spoke I thought
you'd say Australia!
In the Milan where I'm going
there are savages like in Australia.
Well, it was nice meeting you.
- What do you do for job?
- Why?
I do things that allow me
to have this car I like.
I'm expecting a call at 9:30, so keep
me company for half an hour.
I don't have just half an hour,
I've got all the time I want.
- So you're not leaving?
- Not tomorrow.
- Did you get something at the bar?
- No
Good, lets go down to the night-club.
Ehi, Guido!
Susy!
Don't tell me you ended
up doing a provincial tour!
No more or less than you did.
Let me introduce my friends.
- Want something to drink?
- So, what should I say?
Tell the Albino he can trust me.
I don't know how he'll react. He
might think he'll be exposed here.
I do business here,
you pass it on.
- Who are they, people with bread?
- The usual rich kids.
There's the brunette you dumped
whose killing me with her look.
Come.
Anna, I want to introduce
you to Miss...
Get in.
Nobody's forcing you to stay with me.
But if you stay you'll stop
the stupidities.
The trouble is I like you too much,
damn it!
I don't understand anything anymore,
you arrive and...
do and decide whatever you
want, it's all so easy for you.
Shut up! Shut up!
I know nothing about you and
what's worse is I don't care!
Leave me...
leave me while there's still time.
As you've realised,
I'm not really a good man.
If you go now, right now,
I'll let you go.
About time!
Enjoying the good life, eh?
Loredana called!
- From where?
- From Rome.
She's coming in a few days
time to see her mother.
She's set for life!
Anna!
- Loredana!
- You look great.
I've really lost my head this time.
I don't know what's happening to me.
When he looks at me I don't
understand anything anymore.
He can do whatever he likes with me,
who knows how it'll end!
Badly, if he keeps on hitting you
and you do nothing about it!
Sorry, I didn't want to...
- Why don't you come to Rome with me?
- If you'd asked me a year ago...
Come on, listen to me!
What's keeping you here?
I've got a house in Rome that's
so big I get lost inside it!
- At least keep me company.
- Don't you have any friends?
Lots, all friends of my husband.
You should hear them when they
talk about particle dynamics!
- Boring!
- You're not happy with...
With Piero? Everything's
marvellously fine with him.
It's just that...
- I want a child.
- And he doesn't?
We're not talking about me,
but about you.
- Have you seen him again?
- No, she hasn't.
At least I hope not.
Thanks for the tea and cakes
mum, but leave us alone now.
Hear that? Hear how she speaks to her
mother since she met him?
Mum, Loredana's leaving tonight
and we've got a lot to talk about.
Thank you!
- So, have you seen him again?
- No.
- Gone away?
- Don't know, he disappeared.
The idea that I won't see
him again drives me crazy.
A token and a coffee.
A Punt y Mes, darling.
Hello, Bar Centrale. Can I help you?
Yes.
Do you know what time is it?
You think I care!?
What?
Your mother's asking that some
hot water be left for the dishes.
Ugh! You can't even
get washed in this house!
- What's she up to, going out tonight as well?
- Of course, it's Saturday!
Every day's been Saturday
around here for a while now!
Ah, it's you!
- Why are you here?
- I've been waiting for you.
- So?
- Guido...
Can't you see I'm busy? You do
business at a gambling table.
Do you trust me?
I love you
I'm going to Milan in an hour.
You can come with me if you want.
- Been here long?
- No, just got here.
I need one more hole...
two shots and I'm yours.
I'm dead tired, I can't wait
to have a shower.
You can have one
at the club if you like!
I'd rather go home and I've got someone
with me as well. In the car.
- Oh, really? Who?
- A girl.
- No, she's not in the business.
- So, a total break, eh?!
Not all of them, I met a certain
kind of people in Bergamo!
- Fancy a game for 300?
- Million?
No, peanuts!
Sometimes I get the idea you
think you're still talking to Zuco.
Don't kid yourself, I won't be your
servant like he was.
You work for me too, just like him.
And what happened to Zuco?
- Shot!
- Yes, it went wrong for you.
The oven was ready
but the chicken escaped.
I don't want anybody dead,
as long as they don't bore me.
Zuco escaped to Switzerland, so
he won't bore me anymore for now.
That's why you got me to come back!
Right, now it's
his turn to run.
If there's a fire
it's a pity.
But if someone starts shooting,
they'd better hit the bull's-eye!
Talking of which, how's this girl?
No, don't wake her.
Well, congratulations!
Taxi
All this stuff, these clothes.
You shouldn't have, you spent too much!
Come on!
Take it!
Now go home. I'll come tonight.
Don't be late though,
you know I get bored at home alone!
So don't go, take it.
Money exists to be spent.
Buy all Milan if you like!
See you tonight.
Goodbye darling.
How's it going?
A perfect job!
It's better than a safe here, isn't it?
This is the documentation, the corpse
is at the Monumentale Cemetery.
It's a Swiss citizen,
Monsieur Pilot.
Here's the permit to enter Switzerland.
Don't get the wrong corpse.
Good evening.
Treat us like 2 old clients
and give us a table on the dance floor.
I'm not here on business tonight.
Please.
Anna, please meet a friend:
Riccardo Sogliani.
- Nice to meet you.
- Won't you stay with us?
I've got to talk to you,
come into the office for a moment.
Don't worry, I'll just steal him for
Lisa!
This is Lisa. She'll keep you company,
nobody ever gets bored with her.
Hello!
Now, if you'll excuse us...
- What sign are you?
- Sign?
Sagittarius.
I'm a Virgo, a virgin,
but just for horoscopes!
- You're Guido's girl?
- You know him?
What a question,
we're from the same stable!
Don't mind what I say,
I've always had a drink...
Have one of these too, it's
the ideal start to an evening.
To be honest I'd hoped to start it
another way, but alright.
- Something wrong?
- We'll soon find out.
Good evening.
- How are things?
- Good. He's playing a silent game.
- I'm in the office if you need me.
- Riccardo!
- Which table do you recommend?
- This evening, here.
- Your advice brings luck!
- I'm pleased.
That's enough, leave him alone.
Interpol heard about
the hearse,
Customs are waiting
for it at the border.
If Zuco paid you to trick us,
it's gone wrong for you.
Zuco's a cheap mafioso.
But you're even cheaper!
And you know how much
your skin's worth now? Nothing!
If one of your lot
sings to the police,
it means you're paying them too little.
I'd have earned 10% on this deal.
Have you tried calculating
Nobody would be a spy
with that percentage.
- Why don't you prove it?
- How?
We heard someone had sung
in time and the goods are safe.
But they've got to reach their destination.
You take them!
I'd be more noticeable to
Customs than the hearse.
Send someone you trust,
that girl for example.
Anna?
- Yes... she doesn't look like an idiot.
- That's the problem.
Alright... Anna.
But you send the
hearse up there too
so they'll stop it and Anna
will pass through with the stuff.
It's the only safe way!
I must say a few kicks do you good,
they brighten up your ideas.
You should try this treatment
one of these days.
Yes?
No, it's not for sale.
At least, not yet!
- Are you going?
- Tell Guido I've had enough.
If I were you I'd wait for him.
But I'm not you,
at least not yet.
- What are you doing?
- You can see for yourself.
- I'm getting ready to go to bed.
- And what does that case mean?
Coming back home gave me
a great desire to leave again.
- Why didn't you?
- I don't even know myself.
I'm tired, I'm going to bed.
I advise you to relax, be natural.
Hey, you look as natural as
someone about to be hanged!
Come on, don't make that face.
With your legs what do you
expect those morons to look at!
Fine, I'll take the bus.
See you in Switzerland.
- Documents.
- It's all here.
- It's a group, right?
- Yes, a group.
Thanks.
- Anything to declare?
- No.
No, nothing. What are they
looking for in that hearse?
The corpse, miss!
Thank you. Goodbye.
- I'll drive.
- What are you trying to do?
Shut up.
You forgot this.
- Hello?
- Answer.
- Hello...
- Tell him who you are.
- This is the Albino.
- Tell him you're dead.
Did the bastard understand?
What's going on?
You get cheated like always, Zuco.
Hurry up, get in the car.
- You killed him?
- He was asking for it.
You have the bad habit of overkill,
but you've convinced me anyway.
It was Zuco's trap
and you're not involved.
Double-crossing me is dangerous.
Killing's also dangerous,
especially if you leave witnesses.
A pair of eyes saw you kill.
They must be closed somehow.
She's my property.
Yes, but if she talks you go
to jail, not her. We'll all go!
That's why I want her involved, clear?
There's an address,
he's a client I hold dear.
You said she was yours, didn'tyou?
She'll be happy to help you out.
And if she doesn't, worse for her!
Because it'll mean you got it wrong:
she's not yours, she's a witness!
Stop it. Get rid of your
provincial mentality.
- Times have changed.
- Know what you're asking me to do?
Of course, but it's a sacrifice that
may bring advantages to us both.
You are crazy...
Ifyou refuse you'll see
what they'll do to me!
You want to scare me?
I'm just trying to explain
we have no other choice.
My and your feelings don't matter.
You've got feelings?
Who hasn't got feelings?
But money's another matter.
That man's got a cheque
he's got to return to me.
You're disgusting.
That's to remind you to be
careful what you say.
He's called Frossi, room 32.
What makes you think
he'll return that cheque?
Depends on you,
he saw you at the night-club.
Relax,
I won't eat you!
- Want something?
- No thanks.
Come on dear.
Strip.
Slowly though...
No rush, this is always
the loveliest part.
- Your cheque, take it.
- You'rewrong, it's not mine.
- Riccardo Sogliani.
- Exactly, and he'sthe boss.
Shall wetry our luck?
- Who's she?
- A new one.
Then you refry it all in a pan.
I'm an expert in haute cuisine, and you?
She's not an expert!
...and everything boils over in the end.
I can only make good
omelettes with women!
- What are you doing, are you leaving?
- I'll be straight back.
Come on Cheer up
Tell me, has this
happened before?
Yes, 2 days ago.
Have you seen a doctor?
This really shouldn't have happened!
What do you think you'll do?
I don't know!
Where are you going? Wait.
I'm tired, I'm going to my room.
Can't I even do that?
- Where's the money?
- What money?
The bread, the dough, the cash...
The money you steal every day.
What have you got in your head, sawdust?
You still think you're at the cash desk
in that lurid bar in your hometown
raking-off on capuccinos?
In our organisation the accounts
must be right to the penny.
Listen, do you prefer returning the money
or meeting with Riccardo personally?
I don't understand.
That's to brighten up your ideas.
So?
That money's mine, it's my money!
Don't say that, you know...
- Don't say that again!
- I need it.
I'm expecting a child.
You're expecting what?
- A child!
- A child?
Whose would it be?
Mine... just mine.
- You must have an abortion.
- No, I don't want to!
Whether you want to or not,
you'll do what I say!
You like it, eh?
You don't turn up your nose anymore!
You played the precious one,
but you're the same as all the others!
I hate you, I hate you!
It's all your fault,
you brought me down to this level!
It wasn't me,
I was just the starting point.
You couldn't wait, stuck behind
that cash desk in Bergamo.
That's not true!
You're an idiot ifyou
think you can want out!
They'll kill you, and your
bastard will die anyway.
The injections aren't enough,
it's in too advanced a state.
There's nothing to be done but a small,
clean curettage operation.
- What are you waiting for?
- Where, here?
Bring her to my
surgery in half an hour.
Come on, get dressed.
- Now what's up?
- I'm not coming!
I don't have time to waste.
Come on, move it!
Mr Guido Salvi?
You'll have to come with us.
This is crazy, what have I done?
There's an Interpol arrest
warrant out for you.
- What happened?
- They took Guido, I don't know why.
You've got money?
This is all I could scrape together.
Thank you,
where do you intend going?
To Rome, to a friend of mine.
- Good luck.
- Thanks again!
Hello, sir. Something to drink?
Make yourself comfortable.
- You know, I thought you were out oftown.
- That's what everybody thinks.
Tell me, how are things?
One thing's for sure,
Zuco's got a hand in it.
- He's lost his head.
- Like Guido.
Now the Albino's corpse is a
cannonball that could drown you.
The Albino's record
might push the investigation
in the right direction.
There's more: the Albino sang
to the cops at Customs that day
and gave them Guido's name.
You know what they're like...
they love riddles!
But there are riddles and riddles!
Do they have a chance offiguring it out?
If Zuco helps him, I'm afraid so.
No, he's not been stupid so far.
Not so far, but if they arrest him
and lean on him, who knows?
Zuco's not the man he was,
he's finished.
Now tell me,
how's Guido taking it?
He's a bit nervous,
but all in all he's handling itwell.
And he'll handle it tothe hilt,
he's a good man.
- You can rest easy.
- There's something worrying him.
He wants to know what's up
with his girl, Anna.
Who knows? She's vanished...
and I can't get too involved now.
Right, so far you haven't been named.
But carry on being cautious.
She could either get him off or
get him put away for 30 years.
She was with him when he
blew the Albino away.
Now I understand why Guido
wanted news of her.
No, too dangerous.
It's better to lose her than find her.
As long as she's out and causes
no trouble, lets forget her.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Hello.
- Hello.
He's just fallen asleep.
- You shouldn't have.
- Oh, come on!
Doesn't it seem like this mum's
already begun to spoil her son?
You're right, madam. It's time
he went back to the nursery.
- So soon?
- You've got to rest too.
- You have something to tell me, yes?
- It's not good news.
Start with the bad news,
I'm used to it!
I'm leaving for New York.
My husband worked as a
researcher in a major industry.
And that's bad news, in your opinion?
Yes, I'm leaving you here,
with no friends...
And with a babe in arms, you mean?
Thanks to your help
the worst may be over.
- I'll manage to get by.
- Are you interested in books?
- To read?
- No, to sell.
Take it. My husband's friend has
a bookshop and needs a cashier.
You'll have to do the accounts too,
but you'll be paid separately for that.
- It's a good job, you'll see.
- So, I'll get myself some culture too!
The other news?
It's him, isn't it?
they'd given him a life sentence.
Please, leave me alone!
I've got one proposition for you,
but only one.
- Go on, lets hear it.
- Vanish from the scene.
You got me to come all this
way just to tell me that?
Take it or leave it.
Ifyou accept I'll send you to South
America, I've got influential friends there.
- What happens if I don't accept?
- Not my business.
Count the number of friends you
have left and give me an answer.
This is worse than an insult,
and I won't forgive you.
- They hit a tree.
- Don't move!
- I could kill you.
- Come on, shoot.
Or get lost.
Farewell, you ugly bastard.
Son of a bitch!
Nothing doing, not here either.
Lets try the Policlinico.
Quicker, quicker!
You go, there's another 2 outside.
- Doctor, where can we take him?
- To the reanimation room, quick!
Sister, there's a sick boy.
Impossible, there's been an
accident, they're all operating.
- We can't do anything here.
- He's stopped breathing.
He's stopped breathing,
he's stopped breathing.
Sister, please help me.
My son's dying!
- There isn't a bed...
- What now?
Doctor, I beg you.
My baby's not breathing.
- Do something.
- Free up room 2 for me.
- But doctor!
- That one's just got a fracture!
I've got to do a tracheotomy here.
- What did he say?
- Wait here.
- Has he got to operate?
- Immediately.
- Is it really necessary?
- There's not a moment to lose.
Don't worry, it'll all be fine.
He's a doctor, he knows what he's doing.
At least, lets hope so!
Sit down... you shouldn't, but you
can stay here till tomorrow morning.
He's still under anaesthetic,
but it went well.
He's out of danger, you can
take him home in a week.
- Doctor, thank you!
- No, what are you doing?
But for you my son would have died,
I'm sure!
If it hadn't been me, it'd have been
someone else. That's the way life is.
- Doctor.
- Yes, I'm coming.
A mechanical miracle...
Do you want it, doctor?
It's the latest from Japan.
Buy a monkey,
make your children happy!
It doesn't cost much!
It plays, dances and bows, a marvel!
The tambourine monkey.
Poor thing, she's tired
and doesn't want to play.
- Are you my dad?
- No, why?
I don't know my dad.
Are you sure it's not you?
Mummy, did you see the
present the doctor gave me?
Anna, wait!
I quickly went to Paolo's, but you'd left.
Now he's better
they won't allow me to stay.
I've got to go at the end
of visiting hours as well.
Rules aside, it's best
that they send you away.
You've been in there for a week...
If things go on like this Paolo
will get better but you'll get sick!
Apart from that, I was looking
for you because it's Saturday.
And I wanted to ask...
do you like the sea?
Take my scarf,
for your hair!
Thanks!
- What's up, are you scared?
- No, the opposite. I love it!
But how can I put the scarf on
if you don't slow down a bit?
Hey, I told you to slow down,
not stop completely!
You're joking,
who'll take us back to land?
- Why?
- We're empty.
There's not a drop
of petrol in here.
- What are you looking at?
- Alright, okay.
What are you going to do?
You're a great doctor,
but not much of a sailor!
- I'll swim to land.
- Are you crazy?
Don't tell me you can't swim!
Wait for me!
We're on dry land, but how will
we get back to Rome now?
I'm sorry, I really wanted to
give you a nice seaside trip!
Apart from the adventure and
the cold water, it was fun.
Where are we going?
See those dunes? A painter friend
of mine's house is behind them.
He's got a phone and will
help recover the motorboat.
I knew he'd be here!
Now the motorboat's safe,
why you don't sleep here?
There's a lot a traffic towards Rome
now. Why bother?
Leave tomorrow morning, agreed?
No, thanks.
Better not.
Standing on ceremony? There's a
double sofa and you'll both fit.
I've got nothing against it,
but there's Anna, too.
She must decide.
When do you start work?
At 9 but after 4 years there they
won't fire me if I'm a day late.
So it's decided, you'll sleep here!
So, let's drink this bottle!
Good health!
Paolo! Paolo, darling, come here...
Darling, play afterwards!
You have time now.
Now you've recovered...
be good. Wait...
Hi, Lorenzo.
Mummy bought me a ball.
You know I'm going home today?
Why don't you come as well?
Darling, we must go.
Anna, what's wrong?
- Nothing.
- What do you mean, 'nothing'?
I've searched for you for 6 days,
why didn't you answer the phone?
Please, don't complicate matters.
We spent a nice Sunday together,
and that's all.
That's all for you,
but for me it's different!
Doctor, the professor wants
you in the corridor.
- He can go to the devil!
- Should I tell him that?
Go, I'm coming.
I must go now.
Anna, don't you understand
I'm in love with you?
That's precisely the problem.
Please, don't make it all even harder.
- Come on, lets go.
- No, wait!
There's someone else.
His father, it's him you love!
Why don't you have the
guts to say it?
See? You're already suffering
and you're trying to hurt me.
What kind of love is that?
Mummy, he's the dad I like.
Why isn't he coming home?
He can't, he's a doctor.
He has to stay here.
You know that all the
other kids have a daddy?
Why don't you buy me one as well?
You don't buy daddies
at the supermarket!
- Get into bed.
- Where's Lorenzo's little monkey?
Of course, that sly boots
must be hiding.
I'll go and find her!
You know she was already asleep?
Be a good boy and go to sleep too.
Be good, eh! Be careful not to wake her!
Good night.
- Hello?
- Hello... Lorenzo.
Yes, it's me.
What's up?
I've got your scarf here.
I forgot to return it to you.
I thought I'd send it to you at
the Policlinico in the morning...
Lorenzo?
Hello, can you hear me?
Hello?
Lorenzo, speak to me!
You'll be sorry!
You know nothing about me!
Don't say anything!
I want you to know...
- You need to know something.
- I just know I love you.
- And 2 plus 2 make?
- 5.
No, 4. Now go, your mum's
collecting you this evening.
- You're not coming?
- If the patients let me.
Give me a kiss?
I'll note it down.
- Is this the latest edition?
- Let me see...
- Yes, it's the latest.
- Thank you.
- Hello, International Bookshop.
- Hi, Anna.
- How do I look?
- Like a freed wild animal.
Thanks for the compliment.
Luckily my amnesty came,
if not I'd have gone soft.
You didn't expect me so soon, eh?
Looks like you're not happy.
- You guessed.
- You haven't changed.
You left a lot of regrets
behind in Milan.
Get on with it, what do you want?
Don't start again,
I don't like questions.
Your bastard's in there?
A nice place... expensive too!
Take it, go to the monks and tell
them to keep him full-board.
- Come on, move it!
- Why should I?
- You're returning to Milan with me.
- I'd rather kill myself.
- You'd leave an orphan.
- You're worse than an animal.
But I'm not alone any more.
- I've got a man.
- Right, that doctor...
He knows nothing ofyou or night-clubs
or orgies at clients' houses.
Would you like me to tell him?
Like me to tell him everything?
- Leave him out of it.
- You're beginning to get it.
Hurry up,
Riccardo's expecting us tonight.
Another thing,
be careful what you do.
Calls to the police,
or stuff like that,
would be unforgivable.
It would fall on your son's head.
Go away.
He'll need a set of clothes.
He's over there.
I'll go and call him.
Paolo, see who's here?
Darling... your mother's little one.
You're fine with the nuns, right?
I'm only fine with you and with
Lorenzo who plays with me.
Listen... listen my love.
Mummy can't take you home today
but you'll be a good boy, won't you?
Promise me? Mummy's got to
go away, she's got to leave.
But you'll be good till I return.
I'll be back soon, I promise.
- Come on, go and play.
- Bye mum.
Go and play with your friends.
- I'd like to ask you another favour.
- Yes, madam.
Could you post this letter,
it's very important.
- I'll do it, don't worry.
- Thank you.
Why are you crying? You should be
happy. You're back to being a lady.
Look, the wardrobe has been renewed.
Riccardo took care of all it all.
He did it for me to show his gratitude.
Riccardo respects me a lot.
You deserve each other.
Who do you think you are?
Just because you let him fuck you
while I was rotting in jail
you think you're better than before?
Anyway you're here now,
whether you like it or not.
- If you cause trouble, I'll hit you.
- You can kill me, if you like.
Come on, stop it!
I don't cause problems!
Look at me, all those years in jail
without seeing a woman!
Don't touch me. Do what you like
with me, but you mustn't touch me!
And there I was thinking of you
all that time.
I hate you, I hate this house and all
it represents for me.
And I'll hate you till my dying breath.
Alright, hate me.
Hate me as much as you want.
But I know what you're like.
I know how to treat you!
My dear, when you read this letter
I'll already be far away.
And I'll have left you're life forever.
I should have done this earlier,
but your desire to live
and love infected me.
You managed to make me
believe I could also be happy,
but unfortunately it's not true.
Feel alright?
Would you like me to continue?
Despite the joy you gave me
I wish nothing had ever
happened between us.
I know I'm hurting you,
and I ask your forgiveness.
Don't search for me, it'd be useless.
It would be bad for both of us.
Forget me. Curse me ifyou like!
Hate sometimes helps us to survive,
and that's what's happening to me now.
Goodbye, my love.
Goodbye.
That's a good new start!
He has a load of money.
- Now what'll you do?
- You'll pay for this!
- Relax, what are you trying to do?
- Have I got to let her go like this?
Outside. Do whatever you want,
but no scenes here.
- I'm not here!
- Open up, police!
- Doctor Viotto?
- What do the police want with me?
Sorry doctor, you have to follow us to HQ.
What's going on?
Don't worry, they just have to
give you some information.
The woman has expressed the desire
that you take the boy to her.
I can go today...
What's happened, is she sick?
The Milan flying squad spoke
about a firearms injury.
No other details.
The express from Rome
is arriving at platform 8.
The local train for Lecco is leaving from
platform 10, stopping at all stations.
The direct service from Bari
is delayed by 20 minutes.
- Doctor Viotto?
- That's me.
Please follow me, we can
trust the boy to the nurse.
If you come with me,
I'll show you something nice.
- What?
- White mice!
Go on, Paolo,
It's just for a bit, then I'll be back.
Over here, please.
Doctor Viotto?
Make yourself comfortable.
I'm Ferretti, the director.
This is Mr Gerli of the flying squad.
The doctor's involved in inquests
and has to ask some questions.
First I'd like to askone.
How is she?
It's hard to say, but we've
tried a second operation...
now she's unconscious and it's
impossible to be sure. I'm sorry.
That's alright.
Just some information.
How did you meet Anna Lovisi?
I'm a doctor and I treated her boy.
What work did the young lady do?
She was a cashier in a bookshop. Why?
It seems to us that she practised quite
another profession here in Milan.
- What do you mean?
- Haven't you even read the papers?
Well, you should read them.
Feel cold?
Don't tire yourself, the cold's just
an effect of the anaesthetic.
- But it'll pass.
- My poor love...
Why? I'm happy to have
found you again.
I wish it were true.
Who knows what they said about me!
About you?
What do the others know about you?
Only I knew the real Anna.
And what was the real Anna like?
Tender and unhappy at first,
then tender and passionate.
A wonderful creature.
A creature unknown to everyone,
except me.
Please don't talk like that,
you'll make me die even faster.
No, why should you die?
Don't say such things.
I'm here, I'll take care of you.
I've spoken with the surgeon
and he's filled me in.
The operation succeeded
and there's no further risk!
We'll go back to Rome together.
It'll take time, but you'll heal.
You lie really badly, my love.
But it doesn't matter...
thanks all the same.
Thanks for everything!
I'm tired, but I don't want to sleep.
Lorenzo, help me stay awake.
Where's my son?
He's here, here with me.
Behind that door.
I'll bring him in now.
My love.
Promise me, swear to me...
you won't abandon him,
he's so small...
so defenceless...
It's not his fault.
Mummy!
Hold me... hold me tightly.
Hug me, my love.
Give me lots of kisses.
Lots of kisses for your mummy.
Mummy told me that
you're my daddy now.
The heart's still weak
but more regular. Who knows...
She asked me to tell you to take
the boy outside and amuse him.
- Of course, but you must do me a favour.
- Certainly.
I want to phone you occasionally
to see how she is.
Of course.
- Which one do you want to go on?
- On that one there.
Alright.
Hold on tight.
I'll wait for you here.
Hello?
This is Doctor Viotto.
Yes, thank you.
Alright, I'll wait.
What?
When?
