Where the fuck do you think you're going?
Can't you see it's red ?

- You're even on your fucking phone!
- Put your hand back inside...

You went through while the light was red!

Dad please, forget it.
I'm scared. - It's nothing.

Still on your phone? Did you see
what you did back at the traffic light?

- I've already said sorry!
- You're a piece of shit!

- Brother, calm down.
- Pull yourself come together.

- What'd you say?
- Come on!

- I'm talking on the phone.
- I want to grab you by the neck!

- You're making your son cry.



- Leave my son out of this!
- OK let's go!

- What are you doing, are you laughing?
I want to kill you!

- See you! See you!

- Now you're getting worked up!
- Dad, forget it!

Dad, stop!

- Here you are!
- Dad, forget it.

- What the fuck are you looking at?
- Get out!

- Keep calm.
- I want to smash your face!

- Now I'll show you!
- Dad, stop.

- Open up! Open up!
- Papa!

Stop! I'm a policeman!
I am a policeman!

He wanted to kill me!
I did nothing!

I did nothing!

Stop!



- Good morning. How are you?
- Well.

What's your name?

- He does not answer, is he shy?
- A bit.

- So I know, your name is Agilulf.
- No, Funisbondo.

Ah! Funisbondo!
Did Funisbondo eat today?

A little, doctor.

I see here that he had
roast chicken and fried potatoes.

- If you arent always careful, you might
just end up in a hospital like you are now.

- When will all this be over?

The doctor's being silly, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to you.

- How is this young man?

- Better, I've been massaging his legs
lightly as you suggested

Good, Keep doing it. Until we gradually
have him back on his feet again.

Right, Stefano?

See you later.

Doctor, he's still not
moving his legs.

Give it time.
The first operation did go well.

- And he's also not speaking,
why would that be?

- He is suffering from
a serious case of shock.

Come and see me later and I'll explain a few more things to you.

- It's like not much liquid is
going through I think...
- No, everything's fine.

It's fine like this.

I think your colleague
took offense earlier.
All I was wanting to say...

Not to worry, no one takes offense
around here, madam.

Hear what the doctor called you?
He called you "young man".

The bullet that hit him
entered his chest
and fractured a vertebra.

This caused a hematoma that
compromised his spinal cord.

This is why Stefano can't
move his legs.

The good news is that
there are no lesions in the spinal cord.

We have to wait a few days for
the hematoma to subside

and then we will operate
again to stabilize the fracture.

- He will recover completely, won't he?
- Of course Madam, Don't worry.

Stefano is a very strong
child, he is a fine young man.

Oh, please dont cry.

Come on, Madam.
Now, what more can we do?

I can't take it anymore.

You must try to remain calm,
and help him do the same.

- You will operate on him, won't you?
- Sure.

Do not cry in front of him,
he needs strong support.

Alright? Laugh, talk to him,
try to take his mind off it.

Thats what Stefano needs right now.

He'll start talking again, you'll soon see

Alright.

- I'll go over to him then.
- OK.

Good, I'll be along soon.

Here we are.

- Good afternoon, Sir. - Good afternoon, how are you? - Fine thanks.

- My wife?
- She's putting the girl to sleep.

- When's dinner?
- Whenever you wish Sir.

Fine. In about ten minutes then please.
Perhaps you could bring it to my office

- Yes Sir
- Thanks

Hi

- Hi
- Is she asleep already?

She's just fallen asleep.

Hi

- You didn't make it today...
- A last minute hitch, I'm sorry.

- The teacher is pretty, a bit 'old...
- She sounds like she'd be better.

It seems like a very good nursery,
they make a bit of a fuss about their "methods"...

It's not as if we're in Manhattan!

- The important thing is that you like it, right?
- Yes.

Listen Love, I'm going to eat in the studio
because I have a lot to do,

but I promise we'll spend some time together after..

Okay, I'll wait for you.

Hi Sofia. I'm having dinner at Michael's.

Ah, thats just great I suppose.
That means I'll be having dinner on my own.

- Do you have a cigarette?
- Don't you ever buy your own?

- Come on! I smoke one a month!
- Always mine.

Come on come on. Thank you.

- Say "Hi" to your aunt and uncle
- OK Bye.

[sound of crying baby]

Oh no!

- Laura?
- Yes Madam?

- Would you go now, please?
- Alright.

- Benny!
- Hi Uncle.

- Hi, how are you?
- Fine.

- Are you going to be joing us for dinner?
- Yes!

- How's it going?
- Well, you?

Not bad. A bit tired.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Hello.
- Hi, dear. Michael is in his room.

- I picked up some wine.
- Thank you.

- You're late.
- I went to see my mother.

She usually calls me and I run over,
then she's better. But I'm dead tired after.

- And tonight I have the night shift.
- Wasn't it tomorrow night?

- No, tomorrow it's dinner with Massimo.
- Oh god, what a drag.

I'd forgotten. Let's use that as an excuse not to go..

- Come on, its only once a month!
- We could change restaurants at least

He's taken us us to the
same place for 10 years!

- But you like it. The foods great
- It should be, for what it costs him.

Your brother certainly
loves it though.

When they bring us the wine list, he
likes playing at being a connoisseur...

- And do we really want to talk about his missus?
- We don't have to talk about her.

- I wonder what she'll wear tomorrow.
- Shall we ask Benny?

- Benny!
- Yes

- It's nothing.

You're being silly!

Oh God, look at this!

- Watch this.
- That must be really painful!

What a beating! The other
day, I was watching a Jackass.

There was a guy standing there who
took about 20 punches in the face!

real hard punches.

- What about the guy who get's electric shocks
to the nipples, have you seen that?.

- What a complete fool. Anyway, maybe you should try it too.
- No thanks.

- I want to see if you've
got the guts. go on, try it!
- No, maybe you'd like to try it too, instead.

- Watch this!
- He's gonna kill him now.

Imagine the pain he
must be feeling!

Foods ready.
It's on the table.

- Coming.

- I'm going to the hospital.

- Why, do you feel unwell?
- Now that's a funny joke.

What's that you're watching?

It's a show called "Next stop"

Whats that about?

- It's an insane
web-series in which they
get to beat each other up.

- But it's cool.
- Interesting.

- Have you finished your
homework?
- Yeah

uh, huh (yes)

I bet.

- Alright. Ciao (bye)
- bye

I do not understand how this fella we're watching
does not end up in a hospital.

- Why are you rushing so much?

- Michael, Benny, Hurry now!

There is something in the air. A calling.

Look at her run!

- Hurry up, it's nine o'clock already.

- Outta my way.

Hold on! I happen to be watching
something on the telly.

I thought we are supposed to run this
house in some democratic manner.

Oh well...

- Now, where did I put it?

- Please, you're blocking my view!

- I don't see my cellphone.
- It's probably in your case!

- Do you know if anyone's
seen my cellphone?

You should perhaps watch something else
on TV - like the show
"A day in court"

- Or "Killer women", for another option.
- Well, I happen to think it's great!

- Really?
- Yeah. Not bad.

- OK I'm off to work.
- OK Bye.

- If they do catch someone on the show
give me a call. - Ok.

- Bye.
- Bye.

NEWS ANCHOR: Some news we repeatedly broadcast to you,
such as reports of missing persons

NEWS ANCHOR: We air such news here as soon
as we receive such reports.

- Good evening, doctor.
- Good evening.

Hey, what are you doing
still up at this time?

Mom's snoring and I
couldn't get to sleep.

Go straight back to bed
the nurse is coming.

- When you take my bandage off.
will I be able to see like before?

Much better than before!

If mom snores, go like this to her...
and she'll stop.

Come on, go to bed.

Good night.

- Good evening doctor.
- Good evening.

Everything went well with
the kid who had an aneurysm.

It was the drug or analgesic
that caused the reaction.

- I don't understand why they changed it.
- We'll have to check into it further.

- And how's Stefano?
- Fine, fine

- His mom's sleeping too, at last.
I gave her a tranquilizer

- I gave her an anxiolytic.
- I'll pretend I did not hear that.

Did I say something
I shouldn't have?

Michael, are you there?

Michael? Are you playing?

No, I'm still sick, it still hurts, sir.

If you continue like this playing video games,
you'll get cramps in your hand.

Should we find an excuse for tonight?

No.

- Thanks, you're very sweet.
- I know, everyone says so about me.

- Anyway, it's absurd.
- But it's really important to him.

But not to you.

I pretend.

- Basically it does not cost me anything.
- Not you...

Ouch! That hurts!

Do you realize that your brother
is an obsessive compulsive maniac?

He's really scary. I swear.
I'm petrified to even think about it..

- Should I shave off my beard?

What do you say?
- That you aren't listening to me speak.

Should I go to the barber's?
Shall I have it shaved off? I better not.

You deserve a brother like that!

That bathrobe really suits you.

Why don't you wear it to dinner?

You can make Sofia look badly dressed by comparison.

Are you crazy?

Crazy woman...

You managed to make yourself
a coffee, congratulations!

- Its pretty good coffee for that matter

Would you like a taste? - - No thanks.

- Hello dear!
- Hello.

- How did it go?
- Normal.

Normal good or normal bad?

Michael, it's ready when you want.

Normal?

- Normal good?
- Well, let's hope so...

- See you again.
- Bye for now and thanks.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

- Do you have a reservation?
- Yes, the name's Lauri.

- The lawyer Lauri?
- I'm his little brother.

- I didn't mean... sorry...
- I like to joke.

- Good evening, doctor, madam.
- Good evening.

- These folks do indeed have a reservation,
at their ususal table next to the glass widow

- Thank you

The gal is new.

Is my brother here yet?

- Doesn't appears so.
- I'll be with you in a minute however

I took the liberty, while you folks are waiting...

Thank you.

Moncalieri Fassone meat tartare
with dijon mustard grains.

Beef "Sfoglietta",
on supreme Alba truffles,

and Val d'Orcia poscini mushrooms too

Of the racutelle.

Flavored with natural charcoal.

- Racutelle.
- You have to taste it.

Delicious.

- Should we wait on your brother before serving wine?
- Absolutely.

- I'll take my leave at this point
- Thank you

- Did you bring your scalpel by any chance?
- Why?

- I would cut that finger
of his off.
- Just take no notice of it at all.

- Racutelle... just what is it?
- Racutelle... it's French cheese.

If you scratch off the the coal...
It's simply delicious.

I prefer Gorgonzola.

Here he is.

I wonder where Barbie is.

We've already started them with some appetizers.
Would you care for some too?

- Yes, but don't overdo it.
- For the lady too?

Yes my wife is here too, thanks.

- Sorry for our being delayed, it was my fault.
- No problem.

- Hi
- Sofia?

She's coming.

I do hear her - she's just
on her way niow.

I do apologize, the owner's wife actually tried
to stop me.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Have you already started?
- No, we've been waiting for you.

You needn't have!

- What's this? - A cheese covered
with charcoal, you simply must try some!

- Racutelle.
- Coal coal?

- Just coal.
- I'd think I'd like to try some.

It's true!

- How weird!
- Did you like it?

You know, our days could perhaps even be numbered
without us being aware of it

- This allows us to live without the anxiety of knowing.

- I'd want to know.

- You'd want to know?
- Yes, certainly.

In fact, I believe I have only
about three months of life left

Should I spend the rest of my life
defending a fool who's killed his wife?

No, I'm leaving to go to an island.

- Here we go again.
- You know that's nothing new.

Ask your doorman for example, where
he would spend what he knew to be his final days.

What the fuck is this?
He should have a place to go to as well.

- Or perhaps not!
- How strange...

I always expect the truth
from someone like you.

I have a child on my ward
who risks being paralyzed

Because of a member of our exalted police force.

who killed his father right in front of him.

- What should I do?

- What exactly happened?

Tell them exactly what the risks are?

No, I try to operate
while hoping all goes well.

I do not even want to think about it.

It was an accident.

The policeman fired at the father, a
bullet deflected and hit the kid.

I'm defending him.

I do not know why,
but I figured as much.

I will never understand how you defend
such awful sorts of people as him.

We consider the legal
merits of each case.

I'm not God, I can't otherwise
just condemn anyone.

Everyone has the right to be defended
on the merits of his case.

- Tell that to the boy's mother.
- No, I'll tell the court , as is properly required.

- You're dealing with the mother aren't you?

Good response.

Real nice.

- Didn't mean to offend.
- A lousy conversation.

Good night.

- Didn't mean to scare you to death!

- Bye
- Bye

What an Idiot. I should
take him to see that kid.

I'd make him sit by the kid's bed

My brother too, in which case I wonder
if he might still want to handle the case.

Mr. Torre fired because
he feared for his life.

He was in fear for his very life
and therefore, I submit

that he should be realeased from custody.

so that he may be free from the harshness of prison

I ask that he be subject

to house arrest instead or
other further measures

such as having to report regularly
to the local police.

Thank you. I trust you will
render a fair decision in this matter.

It never rains but it pours..

He did not accept this invitation
because he's been killed.

Yes, I've just left the courthouse now.

They have to be quick with their descision
This guy won't last in prison.

He's scared of everything there

I've just spoken with him.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Alright, Elisa, bye.

It's not right, I'm saying
it's just not right.

Are you pretending you can't hear me?

- I don't believe I know you.
- I'm Renzi's wife.

I want the guy who killed my husband
to stay in jail where he belongs!

Just wait a moment, Im coming!!

You'll eventually have to pay the price of defending him! You do understand!

- Come in.
- Good morning.

- Welcome.
- Good morning

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Lauri... here it is...

Basically, not that great

Lazy, absent.

Why?
Did something happen at school?

Maybe he just stopped studying.

- I do really think thats so.
- We shouldn't always make excuses for these kids.

If he knew the answers, he would
raise his hand when questions are asked .

Well... maybe he does not want
to upstage the others.

It does not seem to me that his problems have
anything to do with relationships around here,

although, with us teachers,
sometimes, he tends to be rather

annoying.

It's a difficult age, I know.
I'll talk to him.

You do that. It's mainly a problem
with his attitude I believe

- It's not as if he is at all full of himself.
- No, thats true.

- He may be a little shy perhaps even too shy
- Anyway, he's got to catch up in his schoolwork.

- He will.
- Fine.

Is there anything else?

No, should there be?

- See you in a couple of months.
- Alright.

- See you later.
- See you later.

On this side we see the goddess
Roma, in her bare remains.

And on your left, the
Saturnia Tellus.

which in contrast, is well preserved.

That's it for the tour folks.
Thank you.

I hope you enjoyed it.
Goodbye.

Is he an admirer?

- Lets go to the movies
- What's wrong with me this time?

- Iranian or Scandinavian perhaps?
- French.

Oh my, French! The first
day off day after 2 weeks

I have to compete with that meatloaf?
I am a good and generous man.

And handsome. Although short.

No, I'm just the right size.
And its my brother who is abnormally tall.

- Have you seen Michael today?
- No

I had an interview at school.
It wasn't a good report, apparently he isn't doing well right now.

I see him very distracted and he
doesn't seem to communicate well with me.

Each time I try to have a talk with him,
his cellphone tend to go off and he has to leave...

Well, after all he's
only sixteen isn't he?

There's this party tomorrow and we
don't even know the kid who's giving it.

- It's probably a friend of Benny's.
- Exactly, thats what I'm concerned about.

- They are much older, and they tend to be smokers.
- They smoke?

- Do you want me to talk to him about
how it might stunts normal growth?

- Or how it lowers your sexual performance?
- You're kidding.

Then tell him he can't go then
If he isn't doing well at school, he's isnt allowed to go to a party.

What's that got to do with it?

Let him go and have some fun.

- Where's Benny?
- What?

- Where's Benedetta?
- She's in a room with some guy

Do you want to follow her in there too?

- Who the fuck are you?
- He's Benny's cousin.

- What the fuck are you doing?
- You're not at home.

- Cousin of Benny, you're a jerk!
- Fuck you.

What a jerk!

- I'm leaving.
- It's early yet.

- I'm going home.
- How are you going, anyway?

I'm not sure yet, I suppose I'll
either walk or take the metro.

- I'm leaving.
- Wait, I'll come with you.

Sorry.

- Hi
- Hi

Michael!

Wait for me!

Wait, I'm wearing high heels?

What are you doing?

Are you crazy? Come on, wait for me!

You're drunk, Michael!

Michael, are you alright?

- Yes, I'm just sleepy.
- Are you OK? Are you sure?

- Let me go to bed
- One o'clock at the latest we said.

Alright.

- Have you been drinking?
- No, I'm fine.

- We'll talk about it tomorrow.
- Alright, tomorrow.

- I think I'll go to London
this afternoon. - Alright.

- The building next door collapsed during the night.
- Really?

- Bombarded by aliens.
- What are you talking about?

Nothing, just checking to see if
you're listening.

- Sorry, you're right.
- What's wrong, you seem bothered by something.

Paul bothered me at dinner last night.

Are you still thinking about that? Why care about that?

We have to live sure of where we
stand on moral questions.

He has four main ideas and
won't budge on his positions on them.

- Hello
- Hi

Good morning.

- Do you want a coffee?
- No thanks.

How did things go last night?

- Fine, why?
- Just asking

- Whose party was it anyways?
- Some guy's...

- What's with all the questions?
- You came back really late.

Not that late.

- The car?
- What?

You did not tell me if it's okay.

Oh, yes, yes, all right. Of course.

12 thousand euros, and you
want to buy another one.

What are you doing at lunch?
Shall we have get together?

No, well, I don't know.

Ah! You've already read everything.
A voracious reader.

I'm going out.

Give us a call, if you're
going to be late.

- She always does as she pleases.
- That's OK!

- Benny is like that, you know.

Isn't that right, love?
Leave her alone, she is only just 16 years old.

Anyway, I'd like you to know that
I got an A in Latin at school.

Well done Benny!
Really well done!

Some day these children
will have all have left home,

you will be retired...
Women won't look twice at you anymore.

A beautiful plaque instead of
your thigh bone, maybe you'll be bald

- and all you'll have left is me
- Fine perspective that is!

You think so?

- Good morning. Hello!
- Good morning, Vittorio.

Good morning. How's Stefano?

He coughed all night, he also has a fever.

Sandra, explain to the lady what we
do with the apprehensive mothers.

- Better not.
- Better not.

I've always said that moms shouldn't
hang around when they're feeling like that.

Do not worry, I will not
do anything to you.

Here, I'll show you a trick.
Do you see this handkerchief?

It's like mom, now let's
make it disappear for a while.

You see? It's gone right now

You then be able to play soccer in the rain,
and have ice cream first thing in the morning,

and play video games...
Do you feel anything here?

- This morning he moved his fingers.
- You See? Gradually...

Mom's calmed down now.

Should we ask her back?
Watch this.

Let's make Mum re-appear just like this handkerchief. Here we are!

- Is he recovering alright?
- Give it time.

All the time he wants.

The coughing, and fever are actually
quite normal in these circumstances.

Don't worry.
Bye Stefano.

He says you're better.

Oh, how scary! Please!

No, please, stay still!

Mum!

Yes?

- Is dinner ready
- No, in about 10 minutes.

Do not move, please,
I beg you! Keep still.

What are you doing speaking to the lobster?

I can't throw it into the pot, it keeps moving.
It's scary tring to do this.

- So why did you get it?
- I felt like having lobster.

But now I can not,
seem to get it cooked.

- What did you just do?
- I thought I'd lend a hand.

They don't experience
any pain, you know.

Hey, you look tired.

- Is it due to too much math homework again?
Do you want me to talk to him again.

No. I don't think he'd like that.

Will you bring me a bit of this lobster
after you're finished cooking?

Good evening to all of you, we start
by telling you about an incident which took place in Rome

a few nights ago in via Frosinone.
On an isolated and poorly lit street

in the Salario district.

A 48-year-old homeless woman,
named Vivienne Le Crou

was attacked, kicked and punched by
a couple of unknown assailants we believe.

The woman is now in a coma as a result.

This video footage was recorded by
private security cameras

installed at a garage located close to the place
where the attack occured.

The video is being analyzed by the
investigating team

Please be aware that the images we are about
to show you are disturbing to view.

and are recommended to be viewed
by an adult audience only.

Police from Headquarters have asked
us to broadcast these images

to help investigations gain any additional any
possible additional information from the public

We asking that you come forward
if you did witness this attack

Did any of you see anything?
Can anyone out there be of help with this investigation?

Now let's see together the
video filmed by the camera.

The video footage isn't too clear however,
we are able to
make out images of two involved individuals.

One appears to be a young girl,
who maybe with a boyfriend perhaps.

It is believed that from appearences they
are likely white youths in this case.

What is striking from the video footage
is that it shows the two attackers

first kicking and repeatedly
punching the woman victim,

following which they drag her to the sidewalk
and leave her there severely wounded.

As we said earlier, she is
now in a coma as a result.

It is clear that the two young people then simply
walked away

as if nothing had happeneded,
taking off on a scooter.

As a result of how it is they acted on the whole, we
believe it is likely that they are in fact a couple of minors.

Go to page 142, today we will talk
about the Protestant Reformation.

... girl and then there's a guy
moving physically

... young people of white race.

What is striking from the video is
that the two attackers first take...

... the woman then drag
her to the sidewalk

and they leave her there seriously injured.
I repeat, now in a coma.

It is clear that the two
young people then took off

as if nothing had happened,
aboard a scooter.

this suggests that
the two are minors

Michael.

Michael.

Oh, it's you?
I didn't realize you were there.

Please sit down. I want to
talk to you for a moment.

What's up?

Has something happened?
Is there anything you want to tell me?

No, why do you ask?

- Are you sure?
- Is this about my teacher? Did you talk to him

- I already told you the test results were poor.
- No, its not about that.

What then?

Yesterday I viewed a
video on television.

- What video?
- It showed two youths attacking a woman.

A surveillance camera captured the footage.

And one of them had a white
jacket on, similar to yours.

And from his profile... well, he looked like
it just might have been you

Was it you?

Was it you and Benedetta?

I have to leave you, we'll
talk tomorrow, a hug? Bye.

- Everything went fine.
- Thank you, thank you.

- Where's you car?

Everything went well,
see you in the week.

Goodbye, Madam

Love, sorry, I could not speak with you
earlier because I had something I had to do.

Why, did not you go to school?
Did something happen?

Of course, we can eat something together.
But something happened?

See you there in 20 minutes
you can then tell me everything.

Thank you.

Do you remember when
you enjoyed going fishing?

You'd get all the flies ready each evening,
you had all those magazines...

- Magazines, "Fly fishing magazine"!
- You got up at 5:00 each morning!

- Sometimes even at 4:00.
- Not even miners get up that early.

Remember the time I came to see you
and some guy asked me to leave?

- You were throwing stones.
- No, I was making ripples.

You were scaring the fish away.

I had nothing to do.
What was I supposed to do?

- Now I'd like...
- What?

- To go fishing.
- If you'd like, I still have all the gear.

- How do you see me?
- What do you mean?

- Do you think I'm a piece of shit?
- Sure, I'd say you're a piece of shit.

Was this the important
thing you wanted to tell me?

Did why bring me up here?
Could you not just have told me in the car?

- May we have the bill please?
- Coming!

A few days ago, two
kids assaulted a homeless woman.

They caused her to go into a coma

- Well? Do you plan to defend them?
- No.

A security camera
filmed everything.

and the video footage was
aired on the TV program "Crimewatch"

Benny came to see me
and talked to me.

She says it was two friends of hers.

They got drunk at that party.

She asked me for advice in
order to be of some help to them.

What's all this to do with me?

In my opinion I don't think thats
what actually happended.

Meaning?

I think it was actually her.

Together with Michael.

What the fuck are you saying?

Michael wouldn't hurt a fly.

This is bullshit,
Benny is a girl after all.

I viewed the video
with Sofia last night.

I'll admit it wasn't too clear.

We both think it was them.

Yes, but where are you?

Okay, I'll come and join you.

I need to talk to her.

Could you come out here
for a moment?

Hi. What's happened?

Massimo told me an absurd
story about the kids.

- Wait for me at home.
- Why?

I'll finish off and be right there,
we can't talk about this here.

- He believes that Benedetta lied to him.
I think thats impossible.

He says he viewed the video
over and over again.

So I thought "my wife always
watches that program too",

"and that after seeing that video
she'd talk to me about it no doubt".

I did see the video.

- Why did not you tell me?
- Tell you what?

Why did not you tell me anything?

All you can see a car, a white jacket,
and a profile in the shadows.

- At first it also seemed to me...
- Did you recognize them?

- It's hard to be sure.
- Is it them?

I know my son, do you know him as well?

- How can you think he could
do something like that?

- Could it be them?
- Stop asking the same questions over again!
It couldn't have been Michael

- I want to talk to him.
- No, where are you going?

- To his school.
- I've already talked to him

I watched the video that evening,
and viewed it again the next morning.

I then asked him about it.
He denied it was him, and I believed him.

Why didn't you tell me
anything about this?

I did not want to worry
you for no reason.

- worry me? for no reason?
- Don't raise your voice!

How can you believe your
brother and not your son?

Tomorrow Massimo is going to the hospital
where that woman is in a coma,

to try to more fully come to terms with what's happened to her, perhaps you don't fully realize it yet either

He's put this thing in your head.
He's put this thing in your head.

Now I just want to
talk to Michael.

Your father wants to talk to you.

Come here.

Sit down.

- Have you spoken with Benny today?
- No, she wasn't at school today.

- Why, has something happened to her?
- Your uncle told me about a video.

What video?

The video that everyone
seems to have seen except me.

- That incident?
- Yes, that incident!

- I already have said I don't know anything about it.
- Have you seen it?

- Was it the two of you?
- No, it wasn't us.

- Mom's already given me the third degree.
- You have to tell me the truth.

What do you want me to tell you? What should I say?

- Let me go, I have the test tomorrow.
- Are you bullshitting me?

- You stop right there!
- Stop it, you're hurting him!

- Benny has confessed to your uncle that it was the two of you!
- That's a lie!

Shut up! So, do you now
want to tell me the real truth ?

- What should he say?
- Cut it out!

Now, I want to hear it from
you as to whether or not it indeed was you!

Tell me if you were there! Tell me if you were there!

Yes, it was me! It was me!

I thought it was a man sitting
there in front of Benny's car!

She spat at us and then insulted us!
I didn't really want to hurt her!

I didn't really want to hurt her!

Hi. Hi there sweetheart.

- Can I speak to you for a moment?
- Sure.

- Laura, can you take over with this?
- Certainly.

What's happened?

- What is it you wanted?
- You really are a fool!

- What's happened?
- You told your parents everything.

My father said to me that
you had already confessed.

- And you believed it?
- Yes I did.

I wanted to understand what penalties we
might eventually face.
I only told my own father some story to get his view.

- How was I supposed to know that?
- You're really a jerk.

Now because of you we are in shit,
do you understand?

- Cut it out!
- I do not understand why I still hang out with you!

Go fuck yourself, then.

The fact that the woman is dead

and that that crimeshow on TV keeps covering
the case really complicates matters

In the video we see the car, but
we can't read the license plate.

There are thousands of
these cars out there.

The video image is not clear
when Michael is kicking her

we only see him from behind,
Benedetta is constantly moving around.

I knew he shouldn't have gone.

Benedetta told me she looked around
and saw that there was nobody else there.

She took him to that party!

- Your attitude is pointless and annoying.
- Quit it.

Quit what? What's with this stuff? Why are you here?

Because she is my wife
and she raised Benedetta.

- Ah!
- Don't worry. It 'doesn't matter.

No witness calls came
from the broadcast.

So what are we talking about?
I do not understand.

- A muder investigation is now underway in this case.
- Why murder?

They hadnt intended to kill her,
they just wanted to move her away.

- The fact remains they would have been aware
they were inflicting obvious harm.

- That's what you think!

It's what the prosecutor would think and accuse
them of involuntary manslaughter in any event

Which would mean between 6 to 12 years
in prison considering they are minors.

- It's absurd.
- Anyway, there are some extenuating circumstances.

They are from good
families free of any previous criminal record

I doubt they'd even see a
prison sentence in this case.

I'm thinking of a
hypothesis for the defense...

I have to go, I'm on duty. I have to operate.

- I suggest we finish this discussion first.
- I'm sorry, I can't stay.

You've told us what you think,
what you want to do. I will have to reflect on it.

- What is there to think about?
- I'm confused.

overwhelmed, alright?
I think it's only normal.

I told you I'll think about it.

Now, excuse us, lets go Clara

I am speechless.
I just don't understand them.

A couple of idiots, that's what they are.

He is not like that.

- He is impressionable when he's around her
- Bullshit.

Such behavior...

from a girl, even...

I want you to talk to Massimo.

About what?

About his daughter who is out of her mind.

She might just go around telling
everyone what they did simply to brag.

Don't you know what she's like?

As for my son! I no longer know just
what stuff it is that he is made of

Someone who kicks a
woman in the street.

What difference does it make if
she asked him to do it?

- He was drunk, he wasn't fully cognizant of his actions
- You think thats a valid excuse for what he did?

Everytime someone gets drunk,
it means they then kill someone?

I do not know what to do, how to behave.

You do realize that their lives
are ruined? It's all over for them.

- Do not say that.
- It's the truth.

Even if they're never found out...

- How do you live knowing that your child has killed someone?

- Please.
- And how can he live with it?

- Its all over

- I'm worried. - You know how much I love
Benny as if she were my own daughter.

You can ask me anything, you
do not have to be afraid, understand?

I'll say I went to pick
her up at the party.

That I then I brought her home
and we went to bed.

I could say that, so you do
not have to worry.

It's okay with me, if
I have to say so.

It's not a problem.

It is essential that you remember the
times that he needs to take his medicines.

- What if I see him experience some
kind of reaction from taking them?
- There won't be any reactions.

In case of an emergency, take
him to the nearest hospital.

- What sort of emergency could there be?
- These are routine instructions.

I'm discharging him, because
I believe that he is well enough for that now.

Nothing will happen to him.

Do what the doctor says
and everything will be fine.

You'll probably be an even better
nurse to your son than me.

- Better than you; thats impossible.
- Doctor, did you hear that?

Here it is, it's all signed.
Goodbye Madam.

Thanks for everything.

- Thank you very much.
- Goodbye.

Say hi to Stefano.

- Do not let me find the records in such
condition again in the future.
- What do you mean?

All piled up, it's a mess over there.

I'm sorry, I'm on duty since
yesterday and I thought...

- Don't think about it, just do it.

Right away!

No not now, later.

There... thanks.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing, I'm not feeling too well.

Anyway, everything's okay. I'll speak with
my father tonight and let you know.

- Catch you tonight?
- Ok.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- How're you feeling?
- Not too well.

- What did Benedetta want?
- Nothing, everything's okay.

Will you sign this thing, or
will you still keep us waiting?

I'm going.

- I brought you a tea.
- I've already said I do not want it.

How do you feel?
Do you want us to talk a bit?

- Again?
- Sooner or later we should.

I've already told you that I do not feel
like talking about this stuff anymore.

Everything will be resolved, you'll see.

I hope so.

Okay.

Well I'll I leave it here
anyway. Drink it hot.

Sorry.

I came by to find Michael is still
in bed. Why isn't he up?

- He was sick today, I went to pick him up
- Really?

Yes, he vomited twice.

You could bring him here to Pediatrics,
for a check-up.

I'm tired of these wisecracks. He was ill.

and I went to pick him up.
Thats the normal thing to do, I believe.

- You on the other and dont seem normal to me right now.
- No?

No. Paul, no.

It is not normal that you
attacked Michael
in such a manner the other day.

It is not normal for you
to be quiet in your study.

It's not normal for you not to have
answered your brother's phone calls for days.

Let me understand, are you worried
about him feeling offended?

Why do you always have shit responses?
I don't give a damn.

But at least they're trying to make progress,
they're trying to find solutions.

Even that stupid Sofia is
doing more than you.

- Is that what you think of me?
- No, but thats what I see at the moment.

I can't sleep anymore and
I've got children to operate on.

I'm mistreating colleagues whom I've
worked with for years,

because I can't stop thinking about
what happened. Do you think about it?

You think about it, think about it, think about it.

- Yes, I think about it all the time.
- But what do you do about it?

What use is your thinking about it?

What use are your fucking thoughts to us,
if you do not express them to us?

Please, say something.
No, really, come on.

Silence again?
You really do have a strong presence however.

Incisive.
Thank goodness we've got you.

Anyway, I spoke with Massimo, we're
all getting together for dinner tomorrow.

You know very well
what you should do!

I know what we should do!

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me!

I don't understand. Even the other day
at the studio, he just took off.

I can't understand why,
does he seem normal to youl?

I do not know, maybe he needed
to talk to Clara alone.

He should talk to me too,
I'm his brother.

I'll have to talk to Benny, and tell her
what you're planning to do.

Of course, but I really know
if I'm doing the right thing.

I don't know.

I've made so many mistakes with her.

No you haven't.

- See you later.
- Bye

- Good morning, Counsel.
- Good morning.

Your daughter's waiting for you.

She got here a short while ago.

Do me a favor, cancel my
afternoon appointments.

Right away.

- Hi Dad.
- Hello sweetheart.

- How are you?
- Fine.

- Can I talk to you for a couple of minutes?
- Yes sure.

Take all the time you need.

Sit down.

- I would have called you.
- Oh?

- Because I'm a little worried.
- Yes I know.

It's a shitty situation
and I'm truly sorry.

But on the other hand, you understand
that it wasn't altogether our fault.

- I saw the video.
- Exactly

As you saw, we just wanted to move her,
but Michael got out of control

He can't handle alcohol.

The problem now is my Uncle, his father.

Meaning?

Michael is afraid, he says his father's out of his mind - keeps freaking out

We thought you could talk to him.

Don't know what's going through his head his head,
he might even be thinking of reporting us.

What should I say to him?

Explain everything to him, he's crazy if
he gets us in trouble over this affair

Over an old tramp who started
the whole thing by attacking us. It's absurd.

Yes, of course, it is absurd.

Perhaps he does not
fully realize what's at stake.

- No, maybe not.
- Perhaps you could, explain to him how things are.

Talk to him about prison, scare him...

Okay, I'll talk to him as
soon as I see him..

It's settled, then?

Settled, yes..

It's all I came here for.

Oh, and the car is fine now.

I'm glad.

- Bye Dad.
- Bye, Benny.

Good afternoon, sir.

- Hi
- Hi

How did it go?

- What did he say to you?
- More or less what we already knew.

- We're late, do you want me to let Paul know?
- No.

- Do you need to change?
- No.

- Maria?
- She's in there with te kids

I'll wait for you there.

Can you look for the
electronic "Baby-monitor",
please? Can't seem to find it

I put it somewhere,
don't remember where.

I was afraid.

I told you that everything was fixed.
You're being so paranoid.

I panicked when she died.
I got really sick the other day.

If I tell you evrything's all right
you do believe it don't you?

It wouldn't be the first time that my
father has gotten me out of a jam..

- Did you watch the video again?
- Of course!

It's really frightening, eh?

all this fuss and you can't
even tell its me.

- Nor that its me
- Oh yes, you've been found out

- What do you mean?
- You have!

- Imagine if we had set her on fire!
- We nearly did.

I did not understand what I was doing,
I was completely out of my mind.

Really!

Guys, we're going.
Maria will soon have to go to bed.

Call Laura who can put her to bed. Bye cutie!

- Bye. And you two try not to be up too late.
- All right.

The station continues
to air the video,

All they need is some or other detail
to cause a witness to come forward

Benedetta said there was no one else there.
So...

Today I spoke with a dear friend
of mine, a Public Prosecutor.

- Why did not you warn us?
- Let him finish.

He confirmed that they
could be accused

- of involuntary manslaughter.
- You've already told us that previously.

But nothing has happened yet.

Because of him.

- What do you mean?
- Nothing forget it.

I do not leave it alone. I want
to know what you're thinking.

You've havent wanted to
speak to me for days now.

- I already know what you want from me.
- Oh yeah, what?

What? You're happy.

I'm happy?

Why would I be happy?

You like to take your
little revenges.

- What you are you talking about?
- Let him speak, I'm curious.

- What revenges?
- You can always say that you're right, in the end

That you know how life works.

There was no need to hedge anymore,
just what do you want to do?

What advice exactly did your Prosecutor
friend give you?

To get someone in high places to help cover everything up?

Have you already made a few phone calls?

Or do you have some desperate person
who will perjure themselves if offered a few pennies?

Everything is fine, it should be obvious
that I want to save my son..

The kids believed that you might possibly report
them, and we thought they might be right.

- Yes, that's what we all thought.
- Report them?

- What are you saying?
- And that's what I came to hear!

I wanted to tell you that I agree.
I consulted an excellent lawyer...

because I would not be able
to deal with a trial like this personally.

What are you talking about?
What trial? Nothing's happened yet.

He wants to report them.

Isn't that so?

- Is that so!
- Do not raise your voice here.

- Yes, I think it's the right thing to do.
- Speak for yourself!

- I am speaking for myself.
- Michael is just 16 years old! 16!

You are crazy. Inside a
prison cell with hardened criminal types?

They will not end up in jail,
they are minors, free of a criminal record.

They will consider all the extenuating circumstances,
and I will do everything I can to help them.

- Can you guarantee that?
- How can you give such guarantees?

You're playing with my son's life!

Your daughter dragged
my son into this situation.

- Oh, come on!
- Stay out of this I said!

I said be quiet!

An old tramp provoked them, and they reacted!

Your daughter and that
idiot Michael behind her.

I heard them talking
about it tonight,

they do not realize what they've done,
it's as if it never happened.

I heard them.

You do not understand.

- They are afraid.
- What kind of fear? What fear ?

They think I'm a piece of shit that
will do anything to get them out of this.

But no. I will not do it.

- You're crazy I am not about to report my own son.
- I will have to then.

- You can not do this.
- Are you going to stop me?

Yes, you can not
decide for both of us.

- I can for my daughter.
- But you'll drag him into it too.

- I do what the hell I think!
- You do not fuck!

- Jerk!
- I do what the hell I think right.

- You do it and I'll kill you.
- Can't you see you're now being a clown?

I assure you that tomorrow
morning Benny's turning herself in.

I really will kill you.

- Oh God, I forgot my purse.
- I wait for you.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

See you later.
