INSPIRED BY AN INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

(Woman) Hold on, hold on, hold on...

(Woman) Go, go, go!

(Woman) Go, go! Go!

(SNEEZES)

(Woman) - Hands up!
- That was her line! - That was my line!

(SNEEZES)

(Riccardo Fogli) # Everyday stories... #

# ..old speeches left unmade. #

# Stories remaining on benches
waiting for a happy ending. #

# Stories about us good guys
who struggle, who fall in love easily...#

# Life as usual... #

(Anna) # But with great ideas in mind. #

# Another day that passes by! #

Spinosa, are we at Sanremo?
HR want you. Go!

- Wish me luck.
- Go, Anna !

Moon pie.

- Why does everyone call her moon pie?
- Because she's a nice girl. - Yeah.

And because lots of people in the town
would love to have a bite.

- Madam.
- Miss. - Mi...

- I saw you have two children.
- Hmm... - Oh...

(whispering) This is worse than childbirth.

Well, we are more of a family
here, rather than a company.

A family in which our employees
are like children to us.

And seasonal workers like yourself are...

What are they? They're like cousins.

We would like to adopt everyone,
even cousins, but how can we?

(whispering) How can we?

These are difficult times,
so we... we can't.

Oh, first of all, this is what you're owed.
This is yours, no-one can take it from you.

This is...
This... This is yours.

Try and look at it this way:
"When one door closes, another one opens".

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

(Anna) Sorry, mummy's late.

(Children) - The other mums aren't late!
- The other mums have dads with cars.

Hmm...

That doesn't mean it's a good thing!
"When one door closes, another one opens".

- Don't frown, come on! Do you understand?
- (together) No!

Mum, "when one door closes,
another one opens".

Here you are!
My little cuties!

Eat, eat! Go!
Remember to wash your hands!

- "When one door closes, another one opens".
- I'll hold the door open for you. Go ahead.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I overestimated myself,
I thought it would take less time to move in.

No, no, don't worry, I don't live here.
My mother is the doorkeeper here.

- Sorry.
- No, don't worry.

If you get the stairs dirty,
you can clean them, ok? Tell that to Mr Morandi.

- That's me, madam.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't recognise you.

Sir, my daughter knows how to do everything
in the home, if you need anything.

- Yes, I'll let you know.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.

Mum, do you always have to try and farm me out?
I'm not a bottle of detergent!

Now, you must eat everything up
because there are hungry children in Biafra.

(Lucia) Yes, of course.

So, listen, are they going to give you
a permanent contract in that factory?

Mum, at the factory...
When they hire me, I'll tell you, ok?

(Lucia) Hold on, the notary's keys.

Here you are!

- The lawyer's keys?
- He doesn't need you today.

(Anna) Don't make your grandmother angry, ok!

(SACRED ORGAN MUSIC)

Holy Virgin, that's 30 now.
But you've got to do this favour for me, please.

- (Maria) Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee... - Maria !

- Father Backy! - I've told you
a thousand times, this isn't how things work.

- You can't ask the Virgin Mary
to make your husband die. - Ssh!

I don't want him to die,
I just want him paralysed.

- Oh, Lord!
- Right, I've got to go now otherwise I'll be late.

- See you at choir rehearsals.
- Yes, yes.

Run, run, run, you're always running!

I wouldn't like to be in your shoes.

Sorry, so the bill comes to 9,600.
I have 10,000 lire. How much is the difference?

400 lire, madam Maria.

Hmm...

- The coffee. Do you have one on offer?
- Yes, we do. Here you are.

- Oh, and what's it like, good?
- No, it's on offer. But now the bill is 9200 lire.

- With 10,000 lire?
- 800 lire difference.

800 lire.

Exactly 800? Hmm!
I'll have this as well then!

- (Man) "Grand Hotel". - Mm.
- (Man) 10,000 exactly. - Exactly.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Mum, is that you?
No, I'm not pregnant.

Cousin Imma is pregnant too?
And how did that happen?

Blood and red wine?
Do I have to drink it?

Mum, it's the telephone company with an urgent
local call. It'll be Giuseppe, let me hang up.

Bye, bye, bye.

(PHONE RINGING)

Giuseppe, I was on the phone to my mum.

If you don't believe me, call her.

No, I'm not pregnant.

- Sausages and Rapini tonight? - Good, something
light, as I'll be setting off again after dinner.

I'm off now, I need to load the meat
onto the truck. Don't open the door to anyone.

That often used to happen to me...

- Please, wait.
- No, no, keep the change.

- Thank you for the tip, sir.
- You're welcome.

- What are you doing here?
- I'm your taxi, I've come to pick you up.

- Did you get yourself fired again?
- No, I left.

What can I make for my husband tonight?

I don't know how to cook squash,
onions are a no-no.

(Woman) We've just got married, you know.

But these are a bit soft.

I bet!
Is that what you do with your husband? Look!

- Here she goes!
- Daddy! - Daddy, my arse!

- What do I have to do with you? - She was making
the aubergines go soft. - You're making me go soft.

Could you not just act like a lady for once?
Do you think a miniskirt makes you a lady?

- Why, do you want to try it on? Can you
believe him! - I'll smash your face in!

(FAINT VOICES)

You like getting into trouble!
Mum and dad always said so too.

- Don't bring mum and dad into this.
- How am I supposed to pay the rent on my own?

How difficult is it to find a job?

Look... Now I'm going to come and work here...
I even like the little skirts.

- (Chicca) Excuse me...
- What did I do wrong?

(Chicca) Hey good-looking...

- Were you looking for me?
- Have you got any experience?

I have a degree in cappuccino.

Alright then,
I'll give you a trial period.

- How much is the pay?
- If anything, you can keep your tips.

- Come on. Let's go.
- Well, check him out!

- Why don't you write "slave" instead of "trainee"?
- Oh!

- Stinking opportunist!
- You have to leave! - Shame on you!

- You work and you don't even get paid?
- (Caterina) Sorry about her. Go away!

- (Man) Get out of here!
- Idiot!

- My goodness! - Opportunist!
- Stop it! You need to stop!

No-one in the town
wants you anymore.

Get out of here!

Arse-licker!

(stammering) I'm sorry, my sister's
a bit upset today, she lost her job.

I'm really sorry,
but now you've both lost your jobs.

(Man) Leave!

(HAPPY MUSIC)

(Boy) Mummy,
can you buy me a Zorro costume?

- Shit, Carnival! - Mummy!
- Hmm, it's a hit! Carnival is a hit, darling.

- Can I have that fairy one?
- (Anna) Darling... Hold on, sorry.

- Everyone dresses up as a fairy, ok?
- I want to be like everyone.

- These ones aren't nice.
- What?! They're beautiful!

- Mummy will make you nicer ones than these.
These ones are ugly. - Shameless!

I don't look like Zorro.
I look like grandma when she goes to the cemetery.

- You need a moustache.
- I'm going to be teased anyway.

- Oh...
- (Girl) And who am I supposed to be?

You? Anna Oxa!

- Who's that?
- Anna Oxa.

That's it! I'm not going to school
dressed like this.

She's right!

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

(SQUEAKS AND CLANGING SOUNDS)

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

(Maria) Do you want some more sausage and Rapini?
(GIUSEPPE BURPS)

No, you're full.

Come here, this might be the right time.

- But I've just put the coffee on. - So what?
By the time it's ready we'll have finished.

(Giuseppe) Come on.

(COFFEE MAKER BUBBLING)

- (Maria) Maybe I should see a doctor.
- (Giuseppe) And let another man look at you?

- What's the matter?
- What kind of shitty coffee did you buy?

- The same we always have, Giuseppe.
- This isn't the same one we always have.

- Yes, it's the same.
- Where is it? You pocketed the change!

No, the shopkeeper must've made a mistake.
What do I know?

(Giuseppe) Shit!

So that's what you do with my money.
Buying magazines so you can look at other men!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Maria!
What's the matter?

Hm... it's nothing, doctor.
I slipped in the bath.

Last month it was the stairs, right?

I'm unlucky.

Ok, follow me.

- (Anna) Ok.
- I'll be right back, don't worry.

- I'll run him over with my scooter!
Where's Maria ? - Calm down!

I'll go, otherwise you'll end up arguing with the
doctor too. You've done enough damage for one day.

- (Anna) What happened? - She got fired
and she got me fired too.

- It's not my fault if I only run into villains.
- (Caterina) I'm going to Maria.

Come here, breathe, sit down.

- I got fired today too.
- For fuck's sake!

- Oh!
- I know!

The only scrap of work
I found in two years.

Sorry, but why don't you
go into hairdressing?

You're really good
with all that feminine stuff...

I wonder: everything has an end, love ends,
money runs out, bad luck runs out too, right?

It doesn't run out on its own.
You have to help it.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

- (Chicca) We meet here more than in a pizzeria.
- (Anna) Which of us has money for a pizza?

(Man) I can't sleep.

- I don't get why she doesn't leave him.
- Well, do you think he'd let her?

So what's the answer?
Just pretend, like you do?

No, you don't! No!
You're not giving me a bollocking.

You need to go and speak to him,
they're his children too.

Or have you got so used to saying he's
in heaven that now you believe it too?

- I don't want anything from him, is that clear?
I'd rather go and steal! - Hm...

That's an idea.
I did a robbery once.

- What are you talking about?
- Yes.

When I was going out with Toro
we robbed a tobacconist's.

No, hold on, you did a robbery?
With guns?!

- Yeah, does that bother you?
- No.

It's just that I didn't know.
Why didn't you tell me?

Because then he...
he stole all the money and my motorbike.

- So, is everything clear?
- Yes, doctor, thank you very much.

- Take care, ok? - Thank you, doctor.
Thanks a lot. - Good night. - Good night.

You have to put the cream on
for the next two days...

..then it's best if you can avoid
being beaten for the next 48 hours.

- How are you?
- I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry.

- The doctor said there won't be any permanent
marks, so all is good. - Oh, how lucky!

- (Maria) What is it they say? "All's well that
ends well". No? - (Chicca) If it ends.

- (Anna) If you make it end. - (Maria) Oh well...
- (Caterina) The only thing finished here is money.

- (Maria) Bye, Holy Mary! - (Anna) And luck.
- You have to give bad luck a hand!

- Get your hands off! My goodness,
always with these hands! - Don't start!

(FAINT VOICES)

That's it, I'm not confessing you anymore.
You need to tell all this to the police, not to me!

The Gospel says "turn the other cheek".

Sweetheart, isn't what he's done to this cheek
enough? Do you want to give him the other one too?

- Do you want me to speak to him? - No!
Otherwise he'll give me two black eyes.

Oh, Lord! Keep me quiet,
otherwise I'll need to confess myself.

- Let's go and rehearse.
- Yes.

- (Maria) Father Backy?
- Yes.

- (Maria) Can we do the duet like Albano
and Romina ? - You're still going on about Albano?

I can't do it, he sings an octave higher.
I'm not one of the Cugini di Campagna.

- Why not? - He goes...
(FATHER BACKY MAKES A HIGH-PITCHED SOUND)

I can't do it.

- Mum, trust me. When one door closes,
another one opens. - (Lucia) Ssh!

- We can apply for a loan.
- Who, us?! - Yes.

You've gone mad!

Mum, hold on.
It's just a little something.

I can buy the tools of the trade,
a hairdryer...

I can do bridal services.

You, my child,
have brought all this on yourself.

(Lucia) A loan! What an idea...

Go to Mr Morandi.
He's asked for you.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

(Lucia) Damn!

Sir?
It's Anna, the doorkeeper's daughter.

Anna, come in, I'm in the kitchen.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

Giovanni, nice to meet you.
But you can call me Gianni.

- Gianni Morandi?
- I know, I know. Yes...

I can't even hold a tune.

Sooner or later the day comes when a man
needs to do a load of washing by himself...

...and discovers he doesn't know how.

For me, that day is today.

- May I?
- Please do.

(SOUND OF THE WASHING MACHINE)
All good.

Was it easy... or have you got hands of gold?

(Anna) I've got hands of gold, as they say.

For hairstyling.

Weddings, christenings,
funerals... they never end!

Yes, I can tell
you're a smart woman.

Well, qualifications?

I got to eighth grade.

Well...

In any case, our bank has decided to
to meet you halfway with a small loan.

We like to support
personal initiatives.

Obviously we'll need some kind
of guarantee: a house, some land.

My mother gets pay slips.

Have you got a car?

Anna, Anna, Anna...

Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna...

How can you think that a bank
would give you a loan without collateral?

I tried.

(Anna) Thank you.

No, no, hold on.

Hold on,
because you have to understand...

..as director,
I obviously can't help you...

..but as a man...
I can be very generous.

You see, I...
I come from a big city.

I was widowed a few years ago
and I haven't got any children.

And I feel... awfully lonely.

And you...

You seem like...

..a woman...

..who is very compassionate.

Sit still Maria, otherwise I'll hurt you.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

- All done.
- I want to see.

My goodness, you can't see anything.
You're so good at makeup, Anna!

Why don't you find someone
who doesn't beat you up?

- (Chicca) You're so beautiful.
- (Maria) Someone like Albano.

- You can tell Romina is happy.
- (Anna) Get off!

(Chicca) Albano wears heels.
Renato Zero might be better, no?

- (Maria) Renato Zero? Isn't he bent?
- (Chicca) At least they don't beat you up.

(Caterina) I'm going to see the kids, ok?

- (Anna) Normal ones either beat you up
or leave you. - (Chicca) Or they have a small one.

I've only ever been with Giuseppe.
I don't know what size he is.

(Caterina) Give me a hand taking this off...

(PHONE RINGING)

- You go, it'll be him.
- The well-endowed.

Hello?

Hi, Giuseppe.

No, I'm not pregnant.

Nothing, I'm here with the girls.
We're rehearsing for the choir. Listen.

(singing) # Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! #

Ok? We'll talk later, ok?
Bye, bye.

Someone should invent a phone
that you can always carry with you.

- (Chicca) Then you have no freedom. - (Maria) Why?
Just think how convenient. I could go out and...

Ouch! What's wrong with you today?

What's wrong? What's wrong?
I haven't got a job.

I can't even manage to buy
two Carnival costumes for my kids...

..and I went to the bank to ask for a loan
and the director said he'd give it to me.

- And so? - If I gave him something in return.
- (together) Oh, God! - Hm, oh God!

- What a piece of dirt!
- What a piece of shit!

You know what we'll going to do? We'll wait
for him at his house and point a gun to his head.

Actually, we'll go to the bank and take all
that money he uses to brag.

- Which isn't even his. - Yeah, all we
need now is prison. - We're already in prison.

- Why, wouldn't you like to have lots of money?
- Yes.

- Well then!
- But not like this!

- If I... if I could have lots of money...
- (Caterina) If I had. - (Maria) Had.

Could have, had...

I would buy a baby,
that way people would stop hassling me.

- I'd go to Rome, to u... u...
- (together) University?

As soon as I get some money together, I'm off.
Bye, bye! I'm going to England.

What would you do with lots of money?

- Me? I'd buy a Zorro sword.
- (Chicca) Nice.

- And what does a fairy have? - A wand.
- (Maria) A wand. - A wand!

And a decent car.

And a new washing machine,
one with all the different programmes, even...

- Wool.
- Silk, silk!

- Why, do you have clothes made of silk?
- I'll buy them. - (Chicca) Oh...

- Why don't we do a robbery for real?
- Yeah, alright, because she's already done one.

- You've done a robbery?
- Well, a robbery, a little tiny robbery.

- No, no, she was just the lookout.
- So? You didn't do a robbery?

What's so difficult about doing a robbery?
You go into the bank, right?

You point the gun and say: "Hands up!".

And off you go with the money.

Do you think a robbery is more difficult
than working our arses off every day?

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

(DOORBELL RINGS)
- Is that the police already? - Nah!

(Anna) Hm, the Army!

- Sir.
- Madam Anna... I apologise for it being late.

- But the cheque for your last rent payment
bounced. - Really?

(Man) I'm sure it must be
some kind of misunderstanding.

(Man) If it were up to me, you could
have the house, but I'm not the owner.

(ANNA SIGHS)

There you go...
Here.

Thank you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

- Good evening, Anna.
- There you go.

- Wow, what a job you've done.
- I'll sort these out on Thursday, ok?

- Have you got time for a coffee?
- No!

Have a good evening.

No, I'm not putting you at the front!
Even music has a sense of beauty, ok?

You just have to be in tune.
If you're in tune you can stay at the back.

(Father Backy) Come on! Go for a walk.
Go for a walk.

Well?

- Let's do it.
- What, a robbery?!

- Are you being serious? Are you mad?
- Maria, we don't have any choice.

What if we dress up?

- As men!
- (together) Hm?

If we dress up as men,
they'll never find us.

Who would suspect four losers like us?

(SOMEONE CLAPPING)
(Father Backy) Songbirds, skylarks, ravens!

- Father Backy! - Shall we rehearse for the choir?
Oh, Francesca... - Chicca, Father! Chicca!

Since you are honouring us with your presence,
do you want to join our gang?

Father, I already have my own gang.

- (Maria) Anyway, I...
- (Man) Good morning. - Good morning.

Anyway, I can tell Father Backy about it!
Confession is secret.

Maria, you can't even talk about this
to the Virgin Mary.

(HAPPY MUSIC)

(PHONE RINGING)

- (Chicca) Look, that one's disconnected!
- Ssh!

(HAPPY MUSIC)

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

I'd like to open a savings account
for u... u...

- University. - Yes, university.
- Is the bank secure? - (Man) I should think so.

(Caterina) There are too many
people making deposits on a Monday.

I can't on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work.
So, Wednesday or Friday.

"Bad luck will be yours, if you marry on Friday."

- So that means Wednesday.
- (Anna) Fine. - Wednesday.

How will we get guns?

(Chicca) Leave that to me. I know two guys,
friends of Toro, who... "No problem".

(SOUNDS OF AMAZEMENT)
(Chicca) These are identical to real ones.

Oh, yes, yes, yes...
Sorry, but what do we do now?

I mean, how do you use a gun?

(INAUDIBLE WORDS)

- (Maria) Giuseppe's one is heavier.
- (Chicca) Why, does Giuseppe have a gun?

(Maria) Yes, he uses it
when he transports valuable goods.

Where are we going to get men's clothes?
We don't have a penny.

(Caterina) At the American market they weigh them.
10 kilos of second-hand clothes cost 5,000 lire.

I can wear something of Giuseppe's.
He's got lots of jackets he doesn't use.

- (Caterina) Good.
- (Maria) He won't notice, he's always out.

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

(Caterina) We have to get used to running
in men's shoes, just in case they chase us.

(HAPPY MUSIC)

(INAUDIBLE WORDS)

(HAPPY MUSIC)

How are we going to leave
the house dressed like men?

- We could get ready at ours, it's much quieter.
- Yes, but you can hear that we aren't men.

- What's the problem? We'll put on deep voices, ok?
- But how? - (Chicca) Like this.

- (with a male voice) Has anyone ever told you
you've got a great arse? - Yes, unfortunately.

(with a male voice) Hands up.
Everyone on the floor!

(CATERINA COUGHS)
(together) Everyone on the floor!

- But we... we haven't got a car.
- Oh! Paco's truck!

- No, no, no! I don't trust men.
- Why, is he a man?

- Actually, you do get a good idea
from time to time. - Oh!

- Are we sure Paco will agree?
- Definitely!

You are all completely crazy,
I use this for work.

You can't go round the city doing
robberies! Everyone knows me.

Paco, Paco, Paco, Paco!

Why have I never wanted to get with you?

- Why?
- Because you're a... ?

- Dickhead?
- Well done!

But now you have the chance
to show me you've got...?

- Balls.
- Well done!

- You're hurting me.
- Take me home, come on. - Yes.

We... get out here.

Paco goes around and ch...
checks the police aren't coming.

Then we go in, disconnect all the phones,
get everyone on the floor and empty the tills.

Then we go out the back way, Paco comes round
and picks us up here at the bank's entrance.

We put our clothes back on in the truck,
head towards the cape and we split up.

Chicca, you have to leave the scooter there.
Questions?

(TYRES SCREECHING AND
SOUND OF CONFLICT ON THE TV)

(Men, on TV) - Nose to the ground,
fucking bastard! - No, leave me alone!

Nose to the ground, fucking bastard!

(PHONE RINGING
AND MARIA GASPS)

Hello? Nothing!

I was watching a TV programme and shooting.
Ironing! Ironing!

(Anna) Look at how beautiful these children are.
What little angels!

Oh, my goodness, they're sleeping!

Because children sleep.
(THE CHILDREN LAUGH)

What did I hear?
(THE CHILDREN SCREAM)

(EVERYONE SCREAMS WITH JOY)

I love you so much! I love you so much!

All the way to the moon and back,
100 million times!

- Come here, come here, come here!
I need to tell you something. - I want this.

Well...

Sometimes people do things that are wrong...

..but perhaps they are right,
they're just wrong for everyone else.

- Understand?
- (together) No.

Like Zorro.
Remember Zorro? Look here!

Zorro steals from the rich
to give to the poor.

- Mummy, mummy! - Hm?
- That was Robin Hood.

- Hm... so Giulia says that was Robin Hood. - Yes,
it was Robin Hood. - Giulia always knows it all.

- It was Robin Hood.
- It was Robin Hood! But your feet smell!

Ugh! Smell that!

(THE CHILDREN LAUGH AND SHOUT HAPPILY)

Come here! Come here! Come here!

Come here...
(whispering) Come here...

("WHATEVER YOU WANT"
BY STATUS QUO PLAYS)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(Chicca) I've hidden the scooter
at the cape. Let's hope no-one steals it.

("WHATEVER YOU WANT"
BY STATUS QUO PLAYS)

- (Caterina) Anna, you're late.
- (Anna) Francesco couldn't do a poo.

("WHATEVER YOU WANT"
BY STATUS QUO PLAYS)

(Caterina) Paco is half an hour late!

("WHATEVER YOU WANT"
BY STATUS QUO PLAYS)

- If he doesn't turn up, I'm going to beat you up.
- (Chicca) Here he is.

("WHATEVER YOU WANT" BY
STATUS QUO PLAYS)

(PACO HONKS THE HORN)

("WHATEVER YOU WANT"
BY STATUS QUO PLAYS)

(Chicca) When you see us come out, start the engine,
come round and pick us up at the back of the bank.

- (Chicca) Is that clear? - Yes, but don't shout
in my face, you sound like daddy.

("WHATEVER YOU WANT"
BY STATUS QUO PLAYS)

Shit! Duran Duran!

- (Maria) Hold on, hold on! Who's got the bag?
- (Caterina) Chicca's got it.

- (Chicca) Remember, I'll do the talking.
- (Maria) May the Virgin Mary be with us.

(Caterina) Go, go! Go in! Go! Go!

(Anna) Hold on, hold on! Hold on!

(Maria) Hold on!

- (Caterina) Come on, come on, come on!
- Don't limp!

(SOUND OF FEAR)

(SNEEZES)

- (Maria) Hands up! - (Anna) That was
her line. - (Chicca) That was my line.

(Caterina) Come on! Move forward! Come on!

(Chicca, with a male voice) Everyone on the floor,
face down!

(Chicca) On the floor!
(FAINT VOICES)

On the floor! On the floor!

(PHONE RINGING AND FAINT VOICES)

(Caterina) The phones! Disconnect them!

(Maria, with a male voice) Keep still!
Don't you move!

(SOUND OF KEYS BEING TAPPED
AND ANNA CALLING)

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Boo!

(Anna) Boo...

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Please.

(ANNA CALLING)

(THE MAN WETS HIMSELF OUT OF FEAR)

Don't hurt me.
I've got a wife and two children.

No, no, stop!

(crying) Please! Please!

Nose to the ground, fucking bastard!

(Chicca) Come on, come on!
Everyone out!

Oh! The money!

Keep still and no-one will get hurt!

- (Chicca) Paco? - (Maria) The truck?
- (Caterina) Where the fuck is he?

- (Anna) Paco?
- (Chicca) Hold this!

- (Caterina) Where are you going?
- (Chicca) To get him!

Who's there?

No, Chicca, please! I've got tomatoes
to deliver. What will I tell daddy?

- That you're a dickhead! But he already knows!
- (Caterina) Hold on... Hold on...

(SCREAMS)

- Anyway, "hands up" was her line!
- She wasn't saying anything.

(POLICE SIRENS)
The police!

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Sorry!

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

(Man) You too?

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

I did it. I did it!

- My god, sorry!
- What are you doing here?

- We came to see the Virgin Mary.
- We are devout, you see?

- Would you like some? - (Officer) No, thank you,
we're on duty. - We make puree.

- (Chicca) We're... - A family company.
- We make everything with our own hands.

Everything, peeled, purees...

- Were you driving?
- Yes, I was driving because we're orphans.

Alright, girls. Be careful,
because there are some scary people around.

- The Virgin Mary protects us. - You protect
us too. - Thank you. - (Officer) Always.

- Bye, chief... - Bye!
- Thank you, bye! - Hm, "chief"!

- Those policemen become generals.
- (Anna) Hold on... What do I know!

- (Chicca) Bye, bye!
- (Caterina) Bye!

My goodness...

(SOUNDS AND SCREAMS OF ENTHUSIASM)

(ROCK MUSIC AND SCREAMS OF ENTHUSIASM)

(together) We did a robbery!
We did a robbery!

(Anna) We robbed a bank!

They did everything we asked them to.

- And that wretch?
- He pissed himself!

(Caterina) My god, my god!

- What happened to Paco? - Anna was right
about Paco, we shouldn't have trusted him.

- The guns?
- I'll take care of the guns.

- Pass me the tartan bag.
- Hold on. - Can you give me the rucksack?

- (Maria) What are we going to do with the truck?
- (Chicca) We'll leave it here and I'll tell Paco.

(Caterina) Now we'll do what we said we would.

Chicca is going with Maria on the scooter. Anna's
going to pick the kids up and I'm taking the money.

(Caterina) No-one will suspect a girl on skates.

- Go slowly, I've never been on a scooter!
- Well, you'd never done a robbery either.

(MARIA LAUGHS)
Alright, I'll go slowly.

Good morning, Inspector.

There were four men with dark glasses,
hats and their faces covered.

They spoke very little,
witnesses couldn't identify the accents.

- The director is the one who heard them best.
- Call him for me. - He ran home to get changed.

Inspector, with all due respect,
he pissed himself.

- Here are Giulia and Francesco. Hello!
- (Giulia) Hello, grandma!

Eat everything up,
because there are hungry children in Biafra.

Enough about Biafra, mum! Here we are.

- How did the interview go?
- Hm, how did it go? Let's cross our fingers.

Well, let's cross everything,
and hope this is the one!

Mum, even bad luck runs out.

(whispering) If you help it.

(Lucia) Eat up,
it's tasty and delicious!

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

(SIGH OF RELIEF)

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Inspector, they were also aggressive.

I was a little bit scared,
not for me but for my clients.

- We heard.
- He pissed himself.

(MORANDI CLEARS HIS THROAT)

- (Morandi) The safe? - They only took
stuff from the tills. They did a clean job.

Look, I don't want to do your job for you,
but these were cold-blooded professionals.

- What happened to your eye? - Oh, this?
It's just a bit of stress. Can I smoke? - Go ahead.

I'd like to see
the security camera tapes.

(THE DIRECTOR LAUGHS)
(laughing) Security cameras?

Inspector, the cameras were already broken
before I was transferred here.

- They'll have to fix them now.
- No, they won't fix them.

They're not going to spend money on a bank
where a robbery has already taken place.

Who made me come here?

- (with a Venetian accent) Your wife?
- Exactly, my wife.

I was offered a good incentive
and she demanded that I accept.

Did you know they also offered me Pordenone?
But no, she wanted to come to the seaside.

- Inspector? Does the director have to...
- The identikit.

- Liuzzi, can you escort the gentleman? - Yes.
- Can you go with our officer? - Yes. - This way.

- We're not all like that in the North, you know.
- Yes, he's a dickhead, Franca.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Anyway, he's not connected with the robbery.
People like that don't risk a permanent position.

- Then who would listen to his wife? - Franca,
do you have something nice to say about everyone?

(SOUNDS OF AMAZEMENT)

7,468,000 lire.

- (Maria) How much is that each?
- (Chicca) Each.

- I've never been this good at maths.
- (whispering) It's beautiful.

Yes. But let's make it disappear now.

Disappear. I'll hide it in my bra.

- Ssh...
- Ssh...

By the way, there's something
making me a bit anxious.

A new man has moved in where
my mum lives and I clean for him.

So what?

It's just that... he's a policeman.

Sorry, but how could he ever link
his cleaning woman to a robbery?

Keep going to his,
that way we can keep an eye on him.

- Yes, make friends with him.
- Well done! Is he married? - Is he ugly?

- What's he like?
- What does that matter? - What's wrong?

- The important thing is that we are very careful
about how we spend this money. - Right.

Our lives mustn't change one bit.
- Right. - Right.

Oh!

I would like to deposit this.

- That's enough! - What are you doing? - Use one
of the 50 pairs of headphones you've bought!

- I'm studying.
- "I'm studying." What are you studying?

Look, I want to go to university.
What are you doing?

- "I want to go to England. I want to go
to England." - I'll go. I'll go.

Why have you all got to tell
me how I should behave?

- Mind your own goddamn business!
- You are my goddamn business, alright?

And you're going too far. Actually, you're all
going too far. We're going to get caught.

(Maria) I won the raffle!

- How much did you win?
- A million. - Oh, shit!

Hm...

How much did you spend?

(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?

Maria. Hm?

No, it's the turbo spin cycle.

What's the matter?

- Maybe I should've bought something for him too.
- Really? The same old story!

I just don't understand why you don't leave him.
You've even got money now.

Oh, in my own time!

- You were brave enough to rob a bank...
- (together) Ssh!

(whispering) Keep your voice down.

Yes, I even went on a scooter.

- (Woman) Excuse me, doctor.
- Just a little longer, thank you. - Doctor...

Good evening.

- Good evening, doctor. - Madam Maria,
what did you bump into this time?

This time...

We had an argument.

Oh...

- Listen, shall we talk about it?
- Well, maybe another time.

- It's this way, isn't it?
- Yes, go ahead.

I'll bring her back to you right away.

Who'd have thought it?

(Morandi) When I was younger
I wanted to become Maigret.

Only I could never manage
to smoke a pipe.

You look nice in your uniform.

Just think, I can't stand it.

It's hot in the summer, cold in the winter,
especially in Turin.

It must be a beautiful city.

- I have to say, I'm liking Gaeta.
- Hm! Not much happens... I don't think.

- Or does it?
- A bit of dealing, some contraband.

- Only one serious investigation since I arrived.
- Oh, and have you solved it?

- Maigret would've solved it.
- That's because you don't smoke a pipe.

Instead, I've got a score to settle
with four men out there.

(Morandi) For now.

And what about you?

Any scores to settle?

Sorry, how do you mean?

- Are you involved with anyone? Can I take you
out to dinner? - No!

But, if you want, Sunday is the
day of Mary Help of Christians.

The whole neighbourhood will be there,
it's nice. I sing in the choir.

If you happen to be there...
I don't know, we might bump into each other.

The Virgin Mary it is then.

- (Man) Well done!

(Man) Well done!

Hello, beautiful... if it was dark.

- What are you doing? - I'm taking a few sandwiches
for my colleagues who couldn't come.

What, the whole factory?

Father Backy is so good-looking.

We should've signed up for the choir
like Anna "moon pie".

- Is it true that your daughter has found work?
- Of course, thank God.

Have you seen Anna?
Have you seen how beautiful she is?

If I was brave enough,
I'd make men pay for me too.

- It's not bravery you're lacking, it's the body.
- There are people who appreciate it.

(Lucia, whispering) Anna!

- What's the matter?
- Go and offer him a bit of our quiche.

I'm glad you came.

Why don't you try a bit of quiche?

(Anna) My mother made it,
it's a family tradition.

I've never seen you dressed up like this.

Well, they're not really work clothes.

But then it depends on the job!

Well, I can imagine
you have another job.

That is, at my house.
I mean, other than me.

I can't believe it.

- Caterina!
- Anyway, yes, I've found work in a hotel.

In the mornings.

Look over there.

- Well...
- Really nice, but a bit filling, so...

Sorry, I'm going to get something to drink.

Be quiet, she's coming.
Just play it cool.

- Excuse me, but was that Serpico?
- Oh, he looks like Miguel Bosé!

- You didn't tell us he was that...
- Hot!

(Chicca) Apart from the jumper
draped round his shoulders!

- Have you found out whether he's investigating?
- Yeah, in his pants. - Come on!

- (Father Backy) Friends.

- I wonder what Father Backy wants! - We've come
to a very special moment for our community.

(Father Backy) Children, who is going
to give me a hand?

(Father Backy) Good.
I'll call you, ok? After three.

So... one, two, three!

(SOUNDS OF AMAZEMENT
AND APPLAUSE)

(Father Backy) Beautiful, hm?
She protects us all!

(Father Backy) It is a gift from a mysterious
benefactor, who I hope is here...

..and can reveal themselves to us,
so I can say thank you in person.

- (Woman) Beautiful! - (Father Backy) It was just
what we needed. - Really beautiful. Very tasteful.

No, chief Inspector, no.

Months of dead ends.

I agree.
We are awful, yes.

I didn't come here from Turin...

..to be taken the piss out of
by four random arseholes!

Inspector, the informants
have never heard of them either.

So we imagined them.

Or they've vanished.

Disappeared, evaporated.

Lyophilised!

(whispering) What does lyophilised mean?

Inspector,
I think it was a gang of foreigners.

Even so, Franca,...

..there is always someone around who knows
something and can't keep their mouth shut.

(laughing) Like my mother-in-law.

(MELANCHOLIC GUITAR MUSIC)

(Morandi) (I'm looking for someone
I've never seen...)

(..who I know absolutely nothing about...)

(..and I need an idea.)

As Maigret would say.

- (Lucia) And how's this new job going?
- (Anna) Good.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

(THUNDER)

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - Nothing. - It's no use
looking, I've already put it all in the bank.

- Are you mad? People rob banks.
- At least you can't rob me.

Who do you take me for?
I just wanted to know how much you had left.

- Unhappy people do unhappy things.
- I am happy.

- No!
- Yes, I'm happy. - I say you're not!

Make peace with your mind!

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

Look, I'm sorry.

It's not my fault we're alone.
I'm here and I'll always be here.

And I'll always love you,
whatever you decide to do or be.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

You can't run away from yourself forever.

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

What do you think? That I'm scared
just because I'm a woman? Hm?

What's the matter?
You don't have anything to say now, hm?

(MARIA IMITATES GUNSHOTS)

Hey, you, down there! Hands up!
I'm going to kill you, understand?

(DOORBELL RINGS)

- Hi.
- Can you lend me 100,000 lire ?

Yes, I can't buy myself anything anyway.

- Oh, slippers!
- No, no, leave it, it doesn't matter.

Oh, but you have to wait here in the living room
because I've hidden it in a secret place.

- Where? - If I tell you,
it won't be a secret anymore. - Alright.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello? Mum!

(Chicca) What's this cellophane for?

No, I'm not pregnant. Why, do I have
to be pregnant? I don't know.

(PHONE RINGING
AND ANGRY SOUNDS FROM MARIA)

I can't take it anymore! My mum is driving
me crazy with this baby!

Do you want one or not?

I don't know anymore if it's me
or everyone else that wants one.

- I've got so much going on in my head.
- Me too! - Really?

And how do I make it stop?

Like this.

- Sorry, I love you.
- Chicca, I love you too.

But like this...

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

Well, if we're all in a bad spot,
let's do another one.

We've already done one.
We know how it's done now.

I've put some money aside,
we can split mine.

No, you keep it for when
you decide to leave that creep.

- Caterina, what do you say?
- I... I think I want to leave.

Come on, Caterina!

Come on, get down!

Get down!

So, we'll do another job, then we'll turn
our lives around. I swear on mum and dad.

Now you're the one bringing them into this.

She'll come round... she will.

(SIGHING)

- What do you want? It's 6 o'clock in the morning.
- (whispering) Let's leave! - Hm?!

Let's leave!

Look, I'm 25 years old
and I don't want to end up in prison.

And I don't care about
un... university anymore.

Let's go to England, wherever you want,
we'll make do with my money.

But I can't.
I can't leave the girls on their own.

The girls.

Do you think I'm stupid?

If you want you can bring Maria with you too,
but let's go.

You were right,
England is the right place.

No-one cares who you love there.

There's no future for us here.

And I think we deserve one.

(CHICCA CRIES)

Caterina.

You go! Go!

(crying) I'll join you, I promise.

And don't you dare die otherwise I'll kill you!

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

(Chicca) We can do it, just the three of us.

- Have you seen what you look like?
- You'll sort me out because you're good at that!

- We've even got a car this time.
- What if they get the number plate?

(Chicca) We'll cover the number plate,
so it can't be read.

We'll park the car not too far away, go in,
I'll disconnect the phones and rob the tills.

Anna will keep the hostages at gunpoint and Maria
will be the lookout. How difficult is that?

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

(Chicca, with a male voice) Hands up!

(Anna) Don't move! On the floor!

(Maria) On the floor!

On the floor!

(Maria, whispering) Blessed art thou among woman.
Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

(Maria) Holy Mary,
Mother of God, pray for us sinners...

On the floor.
Oh, the money.

(Chicca) All of it!

(Maria, whispering) At the hour of our death.
Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord...

(SOUND OF HEART BEATING)
(Chicca) On the floor! On the floor!

(THE MAN MOANS)

(ANNA GASPS FOR BREATH)

- (Anna) Keep calm!
- (Chicca) Let's go, come on! Come on, come on!

Come on!
(SOUND OF PAIN FROM MARIA)

Come on!

- Let it go! It's starting to smoke!
- My necklace!

Come on, let's get away, go, go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(Anna) The rain is all we need!

(Anna) How could you not have seen
him putting that thing in the bag?

- You distracted me by helping
that fucking old man! - What if he'd died?

- It was a robbery, not a charity event!
- Hey, please, I'm begging you, don't argue!

- You're quite sure?
- The only sure thing is death.

I've got two sons
and they don't do things like this.

It looked like a woman.
She even caressed me.

When I lost my necklace I knew
the Virgin Mary wasn't protecting us anymore.

One of the robbers... lost this.

"She protects us all."

What if they catch us?

(Chicca) Only you can find that out.

Inspector, can you let me have the tapes
so I can compare them with our identikit?

Well, if you can get hold of someone, everyone's
on leave. Anyway, it'll take a couple of days.

- There were three of them, you know?
- Yes, but the methods were the same.

The witnesses' descriptions match.
Hats, handkerchiefs.

And what should I do, according to you?
Invite him to dinner?

- Well, we are in the eighties, aren't we?
- Hm, the eighties.

Come on...

May I?

- No, don't worry. I'll...
- Ssh.

You wanted to be Maigret...
You look like Lieutenant Columbo.

Perfect. Can I repay you?

You're a quiet woman.
Quiet and mysterious.

I don't know anything about you either.

You're right.

You're right.

Well...

I left Turin...

..because I didn't want to work with the man
who was sleeping with my wife.

Oh...

I lived in Latina for a bit
with a man and had two children with him.

But his wife didn't agree.

I think you win.

- Thank you.
- (Anna) Thank you very much.

- May I?
- (Anna) Yes, yes.

You know, I prefer you without a tie?
You know...

I like you even with your overalls.

Can we just forget this once
that I work for you?

You're right. You're right, sorry.

No, because...

I sometimes imagine
having a different job too...

..I don't know, maybe...

..being a policewoman!

- If that was the case I'd willingly be the thief.
- Hm!

Like the ones that have been
running from me for months.

Hm...

I'll get you sooner or later!

We covered our tracks.

- We're pretty good, you know?
- Oh, yes?

Oh...

But you'll make a mistake sooner or later...
and I'll get you.

- No.
- No?

We'll stay nice and quiet for a bit,
until you forget about us.

And then... we'll come back into action.

Clever!

Well let's toast my investigation!

No.

Let's make a toast to us!

They're still looking for men and think
we'll keep nice and quiet for a bit longer.

- But...
- No, I didn't sleep with him, alright?

Well, what do you say?

- If you want to do another one, I'm in!
- The three of us? - (Maria) Yes.

- Did you not see what happened in Fondi?
- Exactly.

- We need to go back to our bank. - What are
you saying? - Because we already know it.

- But it will be extra specially monitored,
won't it? - No, less.

They monitor the ones
that haven't been robbed yet.

Do you know what I say? This time
we'll clean out the safe too.

- When do you want to do it?
- On the 23rd, before Christmas.

That works for me, Giuseppe will be away,
he comes back on Wednesday, Christmas Eve.

- Are you not scared of anything anymore?
- Only of getting pregnant.

(PHONE RINGING)

You answer, it'll be for you.

No. Let it ring.

(TYRES SCREECHING)

Inspector,
there's a mole and you have to find him!

I've been suspended by the general agency,
they think I had something to do with it!

And if that wasn't enough, my wife has gone to stay
in the mountains because all this stresses her out!

- I thought she preferred the seaside?
- Hm!

You state that their faces
were covered with handkerchiefs.

- Could they be the same people
as the first robbery? - Of course!

(Director) Yes!

(Director) No.

Inspector, I don't know, I don't know!

In the first robbery
I only got a good view of one of them...

..then they threw me straight on the floor,
but this time there were three of them!

Yes, they had handkerchiefs,
but they were much more determined!

I tried to defend myself in every way,
but I was scared.

- Then they made me open the safe
and they took 200 million lire. - Yes.

Inspector, 200 million!

Sign here below.

The black one.

- Can I go?
- Yes, yes.

(Director) Thank you.

That way.
From where you came!

What are you thinking?

As they say around here:
"He's got cotton between the ears".

They're our guys though.

They knew what they were doing,
they came back to clean out the safe.

They're the same men as in Fondi.
That job went wrong and they've tried again.

They're brave.
I definitely need to see the tapes.

- Why haven't we got the tapes?
- They're on their way.

- Let's chase Fondi up. - Inspector, they're
coming. They're already here. - What do you say?

- We need to know what happened to the fourth.
- In the mountains with the bed-wetter's wife?

- Franca, now is not the time.
- Sorry!

Three, four, five, six, seven...

"Then there was light"!

What a beautiful lamp, thank you!

(Morandi) Can I come in?

Good evening. Good evening...

- Oh, Mr Morandi! Here you are...
- (Morandi) Good evening.

- A little something. - Thank you!
- (Morandi) You're welcome. - You shouldn't have.

And I brought...
Err...

Father Christmas came by my place, he didn't have
time to come down and he left me these for you.

Come on, children, say thank you!
What do you say?

- Thank you. - For you. - (Francesco) Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Thank you. - You're welcome.

And this is for you.

(Lucia) Thank you!

Mr Morandi, why don't you join us?
You'd be most welcome!

(Lucia) I must say, plenty of people
are mad about my spaghetti with clams.

My daughter got a lobster too.

Yes, but...

I would love to, but i have to go back to work.
There was another bank robbery yesterday.

How come? This was a quiet town
and suddenly it's a den of thieves?

I don't know, but if you met the bank director,
you'd be quite happy to rob him too.

(LAUGHING)

- Right. Enjoy your dinner, Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas!

- (Morandi) Bye, kids!
- Merry Christmas.

Mr Morandi is such a gentleman!

(SOUND OF FIREWORKS)

- Where have you been?
- (Maria) Merry Christmas to you too.

You haven't answered the phone for days,
not even to your mother. I called her too!

- (Anna) The phone broke.
- Liar! Now tell me where you've been!

That's enough, Giuseppe! Enough.

Find someone else who you like,
who will give you children, but let me go!

- What the fuck are you saying, Maria? You're mine!
- I don't want you anymore, enough!

Maria, don't piss me off.

but he didn't like that.

so I hit him with the frying pan.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

He was saying I was his.

- You're mine.
- I can't breathe!

I thought I was going to die.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

So I stretched my hand out, took the gun
from the bedside table: his gun.

I pointed it at him and said: "Hands up".

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You don't even know how to hold it.
Let it go before we hurt ourselves.

This isn't something for women.

Well, well, even pips squeak!
Give me the gun, Maria!

(crying) Hands up, please!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC
AND GIUSEPPE LAUGHING)

Bang!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

He shouldn't have laughed.

- (Anna) Did anyone hear you? - No, they've been
setting off firecrackers all day; such a nuisance!

(Anna) We have to call the police.
If we say he beat her, it's self-defence.

- Yes, but this time she hasn't got a mark
on her face. - Do you want to punch me?

(Anna) Ssh!

Have you got a passport? Give us the car keys,
we'll try and go to Switzerland.

Oh great, they'll catch you before
you get to Pomezia. Come on, help me!

We need to get rid of him,
otherwise we'll be involved too.

- (Chicca) We're already involved.
- (Anna) Oh, erm... - (Maria) Hey!

Do you want something to eat? The whole dinner
is left over, it would be a shame to throw it away.

Here's what the cellophane is for.

- (Chicca) Let's get rid of the gun, come on!
- (Maria) Give me the documents.

Bye, Giuseppe.

- (Anna) My goodness, he's so heavy!
- (Maria) Imagine having him on top of you!

Give me Giuseppe's truck keys.

(Chicca) This way it'll look just like a robbery.

(Maria) Can we go to
midnight mass now?

(Chicca) Let's take her home.
I'll stay with her tonight, don't worry.

- (Anna) We need to get rid of Giuseppe's
documents. - (Chicca) I'll do it.

- (Anna) Did you throw them in the sea?
- (Chicca) They've disappeared.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

I was going to mass.

You don't owe me any explanation,
you're a free woman.

And I'm not in a place to judge you.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

I stole 50,000 lire from you once.

But then you gave it back.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

No.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

(Woman) Death occurred approximately 12 hours ago,
between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm last night.

(Woman) Presumably he was killed elsewhere and then
brought here, no traces of blood in the truck.

(Woman) Whereas with a shot like this
he must've lost a lot of it.

It's almost as though
they cleaned him up.

- They wanted it to look like a robbery gone wrong?
- But it didn't work. - Thank you.

- Do we know what he transported? - No, Inspector
it's empty. The vehicle documents are gone.

However, the plate shows it's registered to
Giuseppe Izzo, resident in Gaeta.

- Shall I set up roadblocks?
- No, Liuzzi, that's useless. He died last night.

Whoever killed him will be in Switzerland
by now, if they ran away, won't they?

Right, right.

(Lucia) You came home late.

Anna, I know. Something's happened.
I made you, I can see it in your eyes.

(PHONE RINGING)

- Yes.
- The police called, they've already found him.

They're coming to get Maria
to identify him.

What if they ask us something?

I don't think so, I mean...
Everything's fine, come on. How is she?

- Not good.
- Oh. I'm on my way.

Mum...

Take the kids home, ok? Trust me.

(SOUND OF DISCOMFORT FROM MARIA)

(MARIA CRIES)

Madam, I guarantee you, we will do everything
we can and we will find the culprit.

(MARIA VOMITS)

(MARIA CRIES)

Always wear foot coverings.

I'm sorry about your friend. I...

She's not had a good morning. I'll leave her
with you for a few minutes, then take her up.

- 5 minutes then bring her up.
- (Liuzzi) Alright.

Inspector, has the mafia come to
Gaeta or is it terrorists?

- It's Christmas. Haven't you got a family?
- I'll put "crime of passion". A headline. - Yes.

Write that the inspector
told you to fuck off.

- Go ahead, you can go over to your friends.
- Thank you.

- I saw him, he was even deader!
- Ssh! - Disgusting!

- Do you remember what you have to say?
- Yes, Yes.

(together) Cry, cry.

(MARIA PRETENDS TO CRY)

- Sorry, I need to take the lady up.
- Right, it's normal.

- Poor thing, she's all alone.
- Hm, I know, it's not my fault.

(Anna) Stay strong!

He worked for some local companies. We moved
here for that reason from Naples, five years ago.

- Do you know which ones?
- No, he never told me anything.

- When did you last speak to him?
- Yesterday.

(MARIA PRETENDS TO CRY)
- And where was he? - I don't know.

He never told me anything.

(MARIA PRETENDS TO CRY)

Let's see.

What did he usually transport?

Transport?

Sometimes meat, sometimes olives.

- Sergeant.
- Inspector. - Yes. - Hm.

- He never told me anything.
- (together) Anything!

(Francesco) # Giulia is stupid!
Giulia is stupid! #

- Francesco? - Hm?
- Learn a song or I'll take the batteries out!

But this is a song.

It's about Giulia's smelly feet...

..me picking my nose, and Christmas.

Mummy!
(SOUNDS OF ENTHUSIASM)

- What's this song called?
- Giulia is stupid. - The song is rubbish.

- Which one is the title? - We don't know.
- Off you go then, to your bedroom!

Come with me, mum,
I need to talk to you. Come to the kitchen.

Mum, whatever happens,
you need to think of the children.

Of course,
but now you need to tell me what's going on.

- Here!
- Jesus, Joseph and Mary!

- Do you know where to hide it?
- Of course!

I wasn't born yesterday!

(Morandi) Yes, but I want to know if Izzo
transported stolen goods, drugs or meat.

- Can we speak to someone, or not?
- The transport companies are closed at Christmas.

- (Morandi) Right. And when will we get the
ballistics back? - After the 6th of January.

Even the bar is closed.

- Who's going to explain to the lady that her
husband was killed on the wrong day? - Who?

Sir, sir, the film has arrived
from the inspector in Fondi.

- See, Franca? I'm taking you to the cinema today.
- Is the bar closed? I was a bit hungry.

(Franca) Let's go!

- (Morandi) That's them.
- (Franca) Yes.

(Morandi) Exactly like the identikit.

Stop! Try and zoom in on the
third robber coming in.

- The jacket!
- I like it.

It's the same as Izzo's.

So Izzo was one of the robbers!
That was lucky that we found him!

What are you saying? What are you saying?
The jacket is the same, but that isn't Izzo.

Izzo is a big man, that isn't! What are you
looking at? Open your eyes!

- Don't look at me. - What's your job?
- Senior officer Liuzzi Vito.

- Franca!
- Liuzzi, please!

- What a coincidence though. - Show the bed-wetting
director the photo of the jacket.

Go, go! Do you need a nanny?
This isn't a nursery. Go!

- We are we going to do, Inspector? - We need
to go and search Izzo's house, right? - Yes.

Let's also show madam Maria
the photo of the jacket.

If Izzo was involved in the robbery
it's unlikely she didn't know anything.

I even know what my husband
thinks and doesn't tell me.

Where have I ended up?

(Morandi) One little thing I forgot
to ask you about.

When we found your husband,
he had this jacket on.

Can you tell me if it was actually his?

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Yes.

(SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS)

Inspector, sorry to disturb you,
could you come in here a moment?

- There are more than 20 and they're all full.
- Hm...

Hm!

It seems obvious to me that Izzo
had something to do with the robbery.

Madam, had you never noticed
all that money inside those dolls?

Sir, even if that was the case,
if you keep asking her the same question...

..it goes without saying that my client
will always give you the same answer, right?

Inspector, I need to say something.

The director recognises the jacket,
it was used in both the robberies.

We just need to understand
who was wearing it.

Fine, sir, what else is there to say?

- Your client doesn't have the answers to any of my
questions. - Sir, Izzo kept her under lock and key.

My client is a woman who
is dedicated to her home and the church.

He only let her go to church,
he barely let her see her friends.

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

Madam, you... you sing in the church choir
with your friends, isn't that right?

Yes, I seem to recall having seen you.

Oh, erm...

- (Morandi) Yes?
- Yes.

- Nice.
- (Lawyer) That's right. - (Maria) Thank you.

- If you'll excuse me.
- (Lawyer) Go ahead.

(Franca) Inspector!
Inspector, where are you going?

- To church.
- To church to do what?

(whispering) I've had an idea that would
seen absurd even to Maigret.

(Lawyer) Even so, don't worry.

# Along the road... #

# ..you'll see you're not along anymore! #

# Unfortunately... #

Enough! You've got to get over it, we're not in
"The Thorn Birds"! It's Christmas, go home!

Haven't you got a family?
Go, go, go! I'm rehearsing.

How much patience I need!

Hello.

Inspector Morandi.
Gianni Morandi.

Father Backy, nice to meet you.
We took part in Cantagiro, did you see it?

(Father Backy) He was violent, I wouldn't
be surprised if he'd got himself into trouble.

Don't make me say anything else
because I have to keep confession secret.

Go to Accident and Emergency, find out
how he treated Maria: they'll tell you.

Look, I shouldn't say this, but...

For men like that...

..I wouldn't even give them a funeral.

Listen, that... that statue...

That was a gift from a mysterious
benefactor, maybe with bad taste.

- Don't tell me you like it?
- No, no, of course not.

(SUSPENSE MUSIC)

(Morandi) But it inspires me.

What do you think? Have they called
us here to confirm Maria's alibi?

Definitely!
We've just got to all say the same thing.

- What did you do yesterday? - Yesterday
I spent the whole day with my friend, Chicca.

- Yes, she spent the whole day with me.
- They were together.

Can you tell me where your sister is?

Caterina?

Caterina? Caterina who?

Oh, Caterina...

My god, I haven't seen her for a long time.

No, my sister has gone to
see a friend in Switzerland, ok?

A friend... in Switzerland.

What did you do on the 23rd of December?

(MARIA LAUGHS AND CRIES)

Are you sure you don't want
to know about the 24th?

(laughing and crying) When, the 23rd?
Not the 24th?

- (crying) I don't feel well.
- (Morandi) Franca, some water.

Didn't I come to yours?

To yours.

No.

(CRYING)

- Do you want to add anything else?
- No.

Happy New Year.

No.

Well, I'll... go.

Yes.

("HOT TO HANDLE" BY ROY MERCHANT
AND PAUL PRITCHARD PLAYS)

- I've got a warrant.
- You don't need it, the money's in the freezer.

- What the fuck were you thinking?
- Remember to say I cooperated.

- Mitigating circumstances. - Robbing banks
dressed up as men is mad! Mad!

Actually, do you know, I'm not sure?
Maybe it's genius! I haven't figured it out yet.

Enough with the coffee, I don't want it!
I'm talking to you.

("HOT TO HANDLE" BY ROY MERCHANT
AND PAUL PRITCHARD PLAYS)

- Why are you getting so het up?
- Why do you think?

I thought you'd found out,
and wanted to give me another chance.

I'd understood something completely different
and I don't know what's worse.

("HOT TO HANDLE" BY ROY MERCHANT
AND PAUL PRITCHARD PLAYS)

Where's the fourth one?

(whispering) I don't know.

But even if I did know,
I wouldn't tell you.

("HOT TO HANDLE" BY ROY MERCHANT
AND PAUL PRITCHARD PLAYS)

Are you going to take me away?

Yes.

("HOT TO HANDLE" BY ROY MERCHANT
AND PAUL PRITCHARD PLAYS)

Take all the time you need, ok?

- (Giulia) Can't you stay?
- No.

Because... I did some things that are wrong.

Were they right for you?

- Like Zorro ?
- No, like Robin Hood!

Isn't that right, Giulia?

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

(Anna) Come here you, with that slipper.

Do you want this?

(HAPPY MUSIC)

You keep it.
You know how to use it better.

Then, maybe, I'll come back soon.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

I forgot something though!
You need to be good for grandma, hm!

- And you must eat everything because there are...
- (together) Hungry children in Biafra.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

(Giulia) Grandma!

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Here you are!

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

(Lucia) Here we are.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

(Lucia) If I was brave enough,
I would've done the same thing!

(Morandi) The truth never seems true.

(Morandi) But sometimes it is the most
incredible things that are real.

(Morandi) There are cases that happen to you
once during your career.

(Morandi) They were called the Amazon gang.
Women with no fear or law.

(Morandi) But they were just
four girls. Four good girls.

(Morandi) Fortunately enough, the judges
understood who they had before them...

..and took into account all
mitigating circumstances...

..short sentences, short imprisonment,
parole and rehabilitation.

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Well done!

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

Oh!

(CHEERFUL MUSIC)

(ANNA LAUGHS)

Find Caterina.

Tell her I'll be there in a bit.
Alright?

Oh! Hm?

Go on, get out of here.

(Morandi) But the most incredible thing...

..is that public opinion
was on their side.

(Morandi) People understood them
and forgave them.

(Women, together) # Stories remaining
on benches, waiting for a happy ending! #

(together) # Stories about us
good guys who struggle... #

# ..who fall in love easily,
life as usual... #

# ..but with great ideas in mind! #

# Another day that passes by! #

# A clock that has been stopped
for an eternity! #

# For all those like us... #

# ..always running, always in the middle! #

# Another day that passes by, now,
with this love that is not great... #

(Morandi) Anyway,
as Maigret says...

.."You have to accept life
as it comes, it's stronger than we are".

(Morandi) And sometimes it gives us chances,
just when we thought we didn't have any more.
