BOLOGNA - 20TH CENTURY

A GANG OF DISAPPOINTED REVOLUTIONARIES

DUMPED BY THEIR SWEETHEARTS

AFTER FALLING PREY TO FEMINIST FURY

DYING TO COMMUNICATE

BUT NOT KNOWING HOW

THEY DIVE INTO BOOKS

AND STUDY

AND STUDY

AND STUDY

AND STUDY

UNTIL UMBERTO...

"WONDERLAND !"

"LET'S START A RADIO STATION !"

You're listening to "Radio Alice". Monday 9 February, 1976.

Yesterday it snowed, the moon came out.

The 13th is a full moon

The current star sign is Aquarius.

Births today tend to be blue

with a special inclination toward going on happy strikes !

RADIO ALICE 100.6 MHZ - WORKING SLOWLY

Spring celebration tomorrow.

Today's advice: don't get up.

What's wrong? Has your mother found you a job?

Yes, your dad pays me to get your ass to a factory.

Tony, tell them there's nothing to worry about.

That I'll handle it from here.

The guys from Milan arrive at the last minute with the blowtorch.

When it's all done, I bring everything to Marseilles.

I said no! Only short weapons.

Rachel Di Rosso. 823 Hay St. Perth, Australia.

Who said I was full of crap ?

Well, he's her cousin!

He hooked you up with her.

Chill out, you clowns. Rachel is his cousin's friend.

And we did it 26 times in three days !

Twenty-six !

- Twenty-six times ! - However !

He did win the bet.

But don't forget what Nietzsche said:

"Women were God's second mistake."

Santoro, get the champagne !

Someone had better pay, champagne's not on the house !

So gentlemen, how's it going ?

That job in the sand caves ?

Drop it.

I'd rather die than be exploited.

- At least in the army I had money...

- You haven't given us jobs lately.

Do you have anything now ?

There's a famous robber's grave in Paris.

The epitaph says:

"In life, I never dreamt of exploiting, or being exploited.

And that is why I stole.

My only regret is that I didn't steal enough."

Did you close it ?

Only two of us,

and nothing but pick and shovel

for 60 metres !\

NDig a tunnel wide enough for someone to get through.

You've got 9 months.

200,000 liras a week.

And 10 million each at end of job.

There's a bank right there.

Is there ? So ?

Marangon...

Why us ?

I thought you more narcissistic.

/N

Teresa, it doesn't matter how expensive the school is.

No, I'm expecting a promotion so it's not a problem.

The captain promised me.

I'll call you later. Not now, I'm working.

Lieutenant, they say they're...

..Mao-Dadaists.

- Losers !

- Losers !

- Then why did you acknowledge them ? - They did it first.

Dinner's ready!

Nothing gets done without the Communist Party.

Berlinguer was right! - He's always right.

- How was work ?

There were two valves

to finish yesterday

and my boss said

if I stay after two hours,

he'll get paid overtime! 70 more!

Paolo... When are you going to start working?

Once the Communists are in power. They almost are, aren't they?

One of these days I'm taking off.

And going where ? You're flat broke.

To work with your father, or be a carabiniere ?

I had a dream the other night.

My father was there.

I was walking on a roof and he was down below me.

He was yelling at me to be careful.

But I wouldn't listen,

I kept laughing.

It was like having wings, like I could fly.

There's Rosaria...

is she going out with that dickhead ?

( )

Maybe we should be more narcissistic... - Yes.

Marangon is a tough one.

I didn't mind the little jobs he gave us.

But this is a big one. We'll be seeing Australia behind bars.

Unless we pull it off...

Piece of shit !

- Why are you dating that asshole ?

- What do you care ?

He's 10 years older than you !

Well, some assholes have money for a good time.

Someone at the motorcycle factory needs a line worker.

It's a steady job.

I refuse to end up like my father.

Work for me, and even the walls will watch you.

Get out of line, and you'll be sorry.

Marangon, it crumbles right off.

I bet we get done ahead of time.

Cicero said even the greatest of tasks

require calm and moderation.

Cicero, how about a beer ?

If you had bet on the other game,

I'd be paying double.

I knew he'd end up in jail !

- Your friends did a good job. - Friends, my ass !

- Worry about your own friends !

- Losers !

As yet, terrorism hasn't taken root here in Bologna.

What about that radio station "Radio Alice" ?

"Radio Alice" has a following among radicals.

Because of them, a prankish trend

seems to be catching on.

They're just a few drugged out and lazy students,

that's all.

But some of them are suspects in that unsolved robbery.

And one of our men was killed there.

- Do you remember ? - Yes, sir.

Never smoked in my life.

The situation is worrying, Lippolis.

The terrorists are revelling

in the strikes and student protests.

This isn't the time to lower our guard.

Keep an eye out,

this is a matter of national security.

Yes, sir.

I'm still working on your promotion. Don't worry.

- Yes, sir.

National security! Fuck off!

We always end up breaking our backs.

You don't get fuck all for free.

What a drag !

We could do with some music, though.

Or a radio.

Underground ?

Get out of here.

These guys are mad.

("Have a break, take it slowly...")

The story is... Three lunatics beat up an old man,

there's no credible case to plead on their defence.

And they refuse to speak.

Berardi, I know impossible cases are your forte,

but forget this one, there's too much work.

Ask for extenuating circumstances and we'll see what happens.

- Sure. - The motive is obvious, though.

What I mean is... nothing happens without a reason.

If we go digging into this...

- They themselves don't know why they did it.

Does that mean there's no motive? His parents are from the South,

six people with one income, he's unemployed and has a record.

What will he be like when he gets out of jail?

Looks like a paradigmatic case to me.

Marta Venturi, my new intern.

What a thickhead !

- Give some coffee to the attorney!

- Thank you.

There's no point in denying it, this is complicated.

A lot depends on Franco.

Did you know that man ?

Did he do anything to you ?

If the judge knows there's a motive,

we can have the case re-opened \ and we'll claim extenuating circumstances.

Otherwise it's at least seven years.

- Did you hear that? Seven years!

- Did you hear that ?

- Did you hear, you idiot ? Answer when you're spoken to !

- This is Marta Venturi, my assistant.

She's preparing your trial, so contact her if you need to.

This is good.

Fucking hell !

So you really don't know them? Ciro, Michele, Franco...

- Franco Savunatta ?

- Saponetta who?

Must be from the projects,

we'll talk about it later.

That Franco is a brick wall.

His parents looked shocked at the sight of a woman.

That's understandable,

you put me off my stroke too ! \

Shall I roll a joint ? - I'll do it.

I sympathize with him. \ N

It's hard for a proletarian to fend for himself in a bourgeois system.

Standing accused of rebelling

against the production cycle...

You're not on the air.\ N

If I were, I would at least turn the record over.

So I don't have to worry about

the carabiniere who replaced you ?

- How long have you known me?

Get me the information I need

and you keep your gambling going.

Want a drink ? \

- No, it's bad for my ulcer.

- Coffee, please.

Anyway, it seems Marangon is on the move.

It's big this time.

Are you sure ?

Yes.

- Intercepting stolen goods ?

What now ?

RADIO ALICE COCKSUCKERS - Was it 39 ? - He said 41.

Here it is, 41.

Want some ?

Thanks.

- Want a hit ?

Thanks.

THE STATE DECREES: PERMANENT HAPPINESS NOW

CRIME PAYS, BOSS DOESN'T

- Are you from the Safagna neighbourhood ? - You too ?

Above the eye clinic in Via Khrushchev ?

- It's my father's. What about you ? - I live in the projects.

- My name is "Pigi". - I'm "Sgualo".

"Pelo", this is Pigi.

- "Raise the revolutionary waves."

- Smile, your daughter wants to abort.

- ..the eye clinic ?

- Never went in, it's too expensive.

That's what I tell my father !

People need to see.

- Davide, they listen to us from the projects ! - Ask him about the air hostess !

- We have no one there ! \

You could be our correspondents there.

- Umberto ! - Listen up.

"Latrine letter from the hyper-galactic "Radio Alice".

To our comrades in the Italian Communist party.

"With all due respect to our fellow comrades..."

In short, they refuse to let us use

the Sports Arena for our concert

because local newspapers defined "Radio Alice" as pornographic.

We expected to be called pirates, subversives, communists,

queers and even niggers and Jews

but we were wrong.

"However you think when the body is given a voice, it's pornographic.

You believe rebellion, sexual desire \ and the repudiation of work,

family and the state are obscene.

So your steel pecker

descends over the city pecking

and arresting these magnificent madmen

for stopping the work-death cycle."

- Exactly. - Perfect !

- We're the magnificent madmen.

- They're the steel peckers.

"We invoke the logic of obscenity

against the rationality of your paranoia.

You're now left to slander us,

as the ignorant do, refusing to understand.

Our reply of disdain is: 'Zut' !"

Quiet, for fuck's sake !

Take it easy, we're writing to the party.

Play some music.

Take care, Grandma.

So, how's it going ?

What do you think, is Torino going to beat Juventus ?

They're only up by one point.

So Marangon, what wine is served

with these fresh goods ?

I thought you were into politics now.

That's why I'm here, to ask you who to vote for.

The stakes are high this year, aren't they ?

You're mistaken, Lieutenant.

Politics and women are taboo to me.

Right, you're into money.

"Anyone can err once,

but only fools make the same mistake twice. "

- It's on the house, Lieutenant. - We'll meet again, Marangon.

Soon.

"Anyone can err... but only if you're a fool..."

How did it go ? Who knows who said it anyway.

Who's the lieutenant that hates Marangon ?

So that's why he's so edgy !

Freeze, hands up !

There was nothing but wine in that truck.

The tip-off was a fake.

The worker recovered,

but now Lieutenant is punching cards.

And he swore revenge on Marangon.

You didn't hear this from me.

Shall I read the same one as last night ?

- Okay, then it's bedtime.

- Then good night.

"All morning...

Hi!

Hi, Pigi.

- What's that ? - A magnet.

It slows down the meter.

- Did you go to school for that ?

- Don't even ask.

I know, I hate studying too...

I like studying engineering,

but I haven't done any exams so I might get drafted.

- Why don't you find a job ? - I don't want to die.

The radio station is a good idea, where did you get the money ?

It's equipment from home.

And who's the boss?

I mean... Who keeps things afloat ? Who makes the decisions ?

FIRST BOARD MEETING

ON THE AGENDA:

WHAT IS "RADIO ALICE" ?

GUSTAVO TAKES THE STAND

"POWER TO THE CREATIVE FLOW OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS !"

DAVIDE: "NO TO VOLUNTARISM !"

"WE NEED PROGRAM SCHEDULING !"

AN EDITORIAL STAFF !"

VITTORIO: "OUR STATION MUST BE REVOLUTIONARY !"

"A VOICE FOR THE MOVEMENT !"

UMBERTO: "NO TO PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS !"

"NO TO MASS MEDIA PROFESSIONALS !"

"NO PARTIES, NO PLATFORMS"

"LET EVERYONE VOICE THEIR OPINION !"

THE COOK: "HOW DO WE DO THAT ?"

CRISIS !

CRISIS !

Live phone calls! No one puts live phone calls on the air !

No one censoring what goes on and what doesn't.

Just try calling RAI and say that housing is too expensive and the boss is a dick!

Our bosses are our listeners.

A radio station with no bosses, that's great.

It's going to be a mess.

Yes, but a great mess! I've never heard of a radio station like that.

They talk like we do, you understand them.

Hardly !

And you always need someone in charge.

No, we just need more chicks !

Hello

Surplus. We worked our asses off last night.

I don't like peaches.

Good job anyway.

Since you work at the market,

is it true or not that prices keep going up ?

Your mother won't believe there's a recession.

She keeps arguing with the vendors. You tell her !

This is our space, our program.

No male comrade can stick his nose in here.

If they're okay with that, fine.

Otherwise, we do the women's program without them.

Hi!

Hi!

Let's go.

Where were we ?

Congratulations, you made it past the firing squad !

This is Pelo and Sgualo. This is Umberto.

And Gustavo, our director of creative flow.

Go ahead and laugh, but the concert goes on because of me.

Who's playing ?

"The Area", thanks to me.

- And Manfredi is there too. - Nino Manfredi ?

Anyway, "The Gong" is playing too. You know them, don't you ?

The band is French but the singer is Australian.

Come on, the ones with the flying teapot !

Well, I'd be happy with a sailing teapot to go to Australia.

(USICAMBuongiorno USICA )

My girl is there, in Perth.

- Hi, Marta. - Hi.

Slowly, slowly. Take it easy !

Let's do it !

You're the wife of a carabiniere !

Teresa, You merit respect !

Who called him retarded ?

All right, how is he anyway ?

Okay, see you at home.

Yes, bye.

Lieutenant,

I'm formally requesting a new radio

in order to listen to "Radio Alice"

whose frequency...

You can't hear it very well

because there is interference with other signals...

overlapping.

Pigi, are the Australians here yet ?

Do you have any papers ?

You're from Safagna, right ?

- Yes. - I go there often.

The legal firm I work for is defending Franco Siconolfi.

Franco Savunatta ? What a loser !

He's looking at seven years.

Some get locked away for much less.

Pelo, the Australian chicks !

Are you from Australia?

No, Bologna, Italy.

I'm Claudia, Pigi's sister.

- This is Mary.

- Hi, I'm Sgualo.

Go boss around in your own house, got it ?

- Construction worker ? - No, medical student.

Special thanks to the comrades who set up the stage.

You just can't get comfortable in these tiny cars !

Do you have the car keys ?

I'm going.

- What do you study ?

- Literature, first year. What about you ?

- I'm a digger.

Franco, when was your last job ?

Do you have a girlfriend ?

You can bring her too when we meet.

What we're saying is:

"Everyone should work. But work very little, very slowly

and make no effort whatsoever."

Will this destroy your system ? That's what we want.

"Radio Alice" ?

What the...

Never interrupt the creative flow.

Editorials on toilet paper,

obscenities, blasphemy... Very nice !

Always sitting on the church steps doing fuck all !

Send them to a factory for six months

then we'll see what they say !

Have you even listened to the station ?

I don't need to listen to it

to know what they say.

The world is full of lazy losers.

What do you know about the world ?

You just sit here and babble all day !

You go work in the factory !

Go tell my father that

working in a factory does you good,

instead of reading that crap !

Alice... Alice...

I remember an Alice who'd give it up for 500 liras !

This time they are clear and legible.

The "69'er",

the "Ballistic Blow Job",

"Buttfucking Bear", the "Four Fags", the "Daring Dickhead".

The "Milky Gay", the "Jingle Balls", and the "Mysterious Clitoris" !

The "Great Big Black Hole", the "Astronomical Anus",

the "Creamy Cunt", the "Friday Finger Fucker"...

"Uranus's Unicorn," and the "Giant Jizz".

No more boring North Star and grey old Southern Cross.

Now, in the universe,

we see erected the great "Up-And-Coming Cock".

I'm told my time is up.

I shall finish this after-dinner tale tomorrow.

This was Sergio ! Your turn, right?

Then give it to me !

- Did you draw that ?

- No... I stole it from the guy who was on before me.

It's my first published story, they pay well.

You get paid for a story ? Fucking hell !

Okay now... This is Sgualo and I'm here with Pelo.

We're from Safagna but "Radio Alice" doesn't reach there

so we have no one to say hi to.

I doubt you've ever been there,

it's a complete dump.

If I were the mayor, I'd raze it to the ground.

Maybe we should play some music.

What is that commercial crap ?

See what happens when you let anyone on the air ?

- Isn't this creative flow ? - It's Carl Douglas.

Why don't we just play Julio Iglesias ?

We've always said

we only censor bad quality.

Let's go, these know-it-alls are starting to piss me off !

Prick !

Good thing it's under guarantee.

Turn that crap down !

Can you believe that ?

A bunch of druggies who haven't done fuck all in life !

Neither have we, if it comes to that.

Then what's this, a comic book ?

Let's take over the university

then we can call in the workers.

I have a lot of friends at the Ducati factory.

I want nothing to do with them. We didn't agree on anything last time.

- Workers have families. - So what !

You're so taken up by work that you're ruining everything else.

You say I have a middle-class mentality.

But what about your obsession with saving the proletariat ?

I just want...

- Five more minutes. - This is my room.

I don't want him to get 10 years, that's political work too.

Fine,

but I'm talking about me and you

and the fact that you're irresponsible.

Oh, you're in here.

What are you talking about ?

I'm a lawyer, isn't that being responsible ?

Does being a lawyer mean fucking up everything else ?

How can you sleep with me one night then Umberto the next ?

So that's the problem,

the same old jealousy.

That's insane !

Finally.

Come on.

I don't want to be a digger all my life.

But it's well paid.

- What time do you start ? - Midnight.

- Why did you want to see me ? - You're the one who called me.

You said you wanted to talk.

There's a board meeting tonight at the station.

My brother wants you to come.

- No way ! - It sounds important.

Did you know I go on air for the women's program now ?

So you're going to the meeting too ?

You can go by yourself, you know.

What's bugging your brother anyway ?

That old man who got beat up in April.

Look at that gorgeous chick !

- A coffee please. - Straight away.

It has risen !

It has risen !

Since when do you smoke these ?

The walls have been watching us.

We'll be done digging by March.

- Are they professionals ?

- No, they're unknown.

They're doing a good job.

If you feel like walking through shit, go have a look.

A bank ?

I charge 25 for jewellery, you know that. What about the money?

Banks are a big deal.

If you want cash, it will take two months.

Or there's that other option...

No, I want cash. End of story.

French ?

The deal is even bigger...

As you wish, no investment. What a pity.

You could pay 10 today and sell it tomorrow for 100.

I'm not a dealer. No heroin.

Keep on them.

Just money, that's it.

That doesn't interest me. Keep on them.

Money.

- Everything okay, Marangon ? - Yes.

Tell Jean Gabin to relax.

Keep your eyes open. Very open.

It's in your own interest.

I'm supposed to work 40 hours a week,

but in the end it's 44.

Hi!

Pelo, how are you ?

I work in a TV factory.

I make TV's

but don't make enough money to buy one.

So I steal what I make.

- Good for you. - I take what I need.

- I think it's only fair. - Me too !

THE BRUCE LEE'S VS. THE KNOW-IT-ALL

The publishers are in the most awful place in the world !

They made me wait for ages

but then they agreed.

They'll pay us 600,000 liras a month in advertising.

And only want to be sure it goes on the air.

- What about our content ? - We decide.

How can you assure them with all the chaos going on here ?

"Radio Alice" is a blank space

to fill in every day,

what's advertising got to do with it ?

Excuse me !

Where the hell does all the toilet paper go ?

Anyway, advertising

would obstruct the creative flow.

Either way, we have no money.

Comrades, we're getting nowhere.

If we accept advertising,

it's like having a boss.

We can just fuck everything. - You're an expert on that!

- Here comes the fight !

What are you getting at ?

Let's vote on it.

We might as well close down

if every decision goes on trial !

Look who's talking !

The movement is strong.

It's stronger than ever.

The only way out of this contradiction

is to use politics.

Why is money always a problem ?

Because money is important.

I don't care, I'm leaving for India.

- When ? - Go ahead.

- How will we pay the bills ?

- Stealing !

Steal this !

So let's make a collection.

A collection ? Quick, run!

- Hi, Mary.

- Here, sign this.

Another collection ? A petition we're starting against Sergio's program.

Males don't count but their signatures do.

Why ? I think he's funny.

- Because you're sexist. - Forget about it.

The same old contradictions !

You can't just erase

centuries of male chauvinism.

You talk about revolution and Marx.

Then you hear Sergio...

Buttfucking, giant jizz,

up and coming cocks, creamy cunts.

Do you guys still have pissing contests ?

Why don't you get a life ? Later !

- Prick !

- They never self-criticize.

Prick...

Lieutenant!

They want to start an association for victims of feminism.

And retaliate with violence.

Have a seat.

Come on.

Go on.

- You're on military service, right ? - Yes, sir.

Do you plan to make it a career ?

- Where are you from ?

- A small town. In Calabria in the South.

- What does your father do ? - He's a truck driver.

Then what the fuck do you care about that bunch of assholes ?

You're dismissed.

Do me a favour. Don't ever mention this crap again.

No, sir.

So you pick it up in Safagna !

Fucking hell !

Fuck !

Shit !

What the fuck did you do ?

Eh?

We're in deep shit now.

For Christ's sake !

It's Mary !

You smoke too much weed !

Marangon is going to kill us.

What the hell do we do ?

What the hell do we do ?

What are we doing ?

Shut up !

(M '' ' '')

How did you know I was at the station ? I just happened to pass by.

The underground radio station !

It's an easy job.

Do you know the Bonnot gang ?

- We don't know the Frenchmen.

- Who are they ?

"Strike at the heart of the bourgeoisie's idol."

This isn't a robbery, it's a work of art.

Class struggle in its purest form !

I'm in !

- What are you tripping on ? - I'm not tripping.

But instead of all this manual labour,

how about some technological innovation ?

If Marangon finds out, he'll have our balls !

We're better off letting him in on it.

- How much do we give him ? - A million.

A million each ? No, a million from you. You cut the wires.

Hey!

- Why are you in the projects ? - I'm Perry Mason's driver.

Let's go have a drink.

Here come the losers !

Look, it's that lawyer girl !

Safagna's full of creeps.

No one has been willing to talk to me in days.

Doesn't anyone care if Franco goes to jail ?

No one can stand him, I told you.

Same goes for the guy he beat up...

- But he's an old man !

- He may be old, but...

But what ?

You didn't know he's a corrupt loanshark ?

He's ripped off a lot of people.

"Bruce Lee", let's have dinner at "Artemide".

Did you hear where they're going to eat ?

Will all four of us fit in your Spider ?

- And you call them losers ? - Shut up, foreigner !

My French partners

made me an offer yesterday.

A new market,

very profitable.

I turned them down, but maybe I should have accepted.

My salesmen bring me stuff I don't trust either.

You never know if you'll sell it.

You can't stop progress, can you ?

Well...

Look at those kids who work for me.

I don't know, I was different.

I was taught that when you do certain things,

you don't have time for fun.

I never had dinner at fancy restaurants,

even when I had a pocketful of money.

But maybe they've got it right,

because progress is never linear.

Progress is odd.

- And you went to school ! - Whatever...

When I was doing time, the priest who taught us

just made us memorize things.

Whether you wanted to or not.

We called him "Don Hitler".

I liked philosophy and I learned it.

But I only learned the answers.

And not the questions.

And philosophy without questions

is completely pointless.

It's like winning the lottery

and not knowing what money is for.

It's like never grabbing life by the balls. You know what I say ?

If I won the lottery, I'd buy a Fiat 131 !

Eat my dust, 160 an hour !

You're a whore!

You're just like your father !

- I'm doing something big ! - Bourgeois chauvinist pig !

- You can't even imagine what it is ! - What is it then ?

This is Senator Agnelli,

can I speak to the Prime Minister ?

Good morning. I hope I'm not disturbing you.

- My brother and I agree...

...on the fact that we've had enough

of these strikes and continuous protests.

What are the government and labour unions doing about it ?

- Complicated ?

It's ever so simple !

These people have gone too far and must be stopped.

It's time to act !

Perhaps you don't hear their chants.

They're demonstrating right now outside.

Listen to them !

"Andreotti, you are bent !

The working class won't pay another cent !"

He hung up !

FELLOW COMRADES

I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF COMING HERE

AND DINING FREE OF EMBARRASSMENT

AND NOT HAVING TO PAY A SINGLE FUCKING CENT

What's wrong ?

Is it Marta ?

She doesn't love Umberto,

but can't seem to leave him.

A bit selfish, isn't she?

Not really, because Marta's in for trouble

as a woman.

It's not right that a man is cool if he has two women

and a woman is a slut is she has two men.

Anyway, let's go.

I'm questioning the bourgeois elements

I bring into our relationship.

Then Umberto is my best friend.

He's musically and

politically advanced.

Give me a hand.

One, two and three !

I understand why she likes him, I'd fuck him myself.

But this is a transition phase. The station, the movement...

My sister is getting political, my parents want me to watch her.

It's a transition phase for everyone,

not just for me !

I want to talk to Franco alone.

All right?

Let's go.

All right.

Of course you couldn't tell us before.

It was stupid of us to not figure it out.

Of course you want to protect your family

We can work this out together.

We can talk to the judge.

He can't ignore the reason you committed the crime.

Everyone told me he's a loanshark.

- How much does your father owe him ?

- You still don't get it ?

I couldn't give a fuck about going to jail.

At least there I'd learn something.

He's a teller at the Bank of Bologna and owes money to half the city.

- What's Marangon got to do with it ? - They are seen together often.

The bank teller's brother owns

a restaurant Marangon sells wine to.

This is what I was told, then I put two and two together.

I came to this conclusion.

Don't mess up this time.

Not this time.

I know you're expecting a promotion back to an operational position.

It will come.

But I received this from Rome.

We'll take care of the radicals.

You can't leave the department.

And with that damned investigation...

- I've got information on Marangon.

- You embarrassed us all.

The universities are in turmoil,

the radicals think they're strong.

It's a time bomb just waiting to explode.

You'll get a chance to make an impression.

Once the storm passes, I'll take care of it.

- Is that all ? - Yes.

Wait, how's your family ? Is all well ? How's your son ?

Just fine, thanks.

The carabinieri ! Get out of here !

The carabinieri are charging all over,

even at feminist protests !

"Great confusion under the sky, therefore the situation is excellent."

If the students create disturbances, the police are kept busy.

And we've got an order from "Artemide".

A lot of wine, don't screw up !

Don't screw up, got it ?

- Are you on strike too ? - Strike, my ass !

She's very upset, don't be an asshole !

I went to the market this morning looking for you.

No one's ever heard of you.

You ask me for money

so don't ask me where I get it !

What the hell are you and that Southerner up to ?

eh?!

Your father was a good man.

He had nothing to be ashamed about !

Fuck this !

You have no fucking idea !

The Bologna City Court has sentenced the defendants

Michele Pelli and Ciro Tozzoli to two years and six months.

Franco Siconolfi has been given seven years

without parole.

He wouldn't talk and got seven years.

What did he expect, a medal ?

- How's Pigi ?

- A mess.

< for beating up an old man. >

That's insane. Think of the things you miss out on at 20.

Music, weed,

Australian girls, tunnels.

It's not just that,

in jail you can't change your fucking life.

I think about my mother,

she's never enjoyed anything !

If she doesn't win the lottery, she'll spend her life cleaning houses

working her ass off for other people. Shit !

It might not go well, but at least you try.

Shit, you only get one life.

This song is from "Radio Alice" to that dickhead Franco

and anyone else behind bars.

I can't go on like this, I feel miserable.

- How do you think Marta feels ?

- Have you seen her ? - She lost the case.

Fuck...

- What do I do ? - You need me to tell you ?

Marangon is right. Women are the ruin of all men.

Make sure he closes the grating.

What are you doing ?

Come back !

Come back here !

Pigi got caught !

Don't touch, wait for forensics.

- Have you called forensics ? - Yes.

Who is it ? A

A tunnel ? Where ?

Oh fuck!

What happened ?

What's so fucking funny ?

Our asses are fucked !

That idiot might be telling the cops everything right now !

We had two metres left.

Two metres. Fuck it!

Now nothing will ever change !

Yes, it will. I'm never going home again.

Where the fuck are you going to go ?

To get high at the station ?

To Pigi's, the Daddy's boy ?

How can you be so clueless ?

You're really messed up, Pelo.

Messed up.

You always tell me what to do and what not to do.

Like my father and brother !

I'm fucking sick of it ! Sick of it !

Screw you.

I hope for your sake Marangon is part of this.

Good.

What did you do, Bruce Lee? Roll around in shit ?

Have you seen Pigi ?

Is Marangon there ?

Yes, I'm still here.

I see.

The bank teller confessed.

I'll be right there for the warrant.

Yes, Magistrate. Something important.

Until the arrest, only you and I know of this.

Thank you.

- Thanks for everything. - Do you know where to go ?

People like me are homeless, seems to be the key to happiness.

I moved to Bologna 20 years ago

and they still call me foreigner.

It's unmarked.

We've got it.

There are scuffles at the university,

go and keep me updated.

Captain.

I can't.

I have another duty.

This isn't a request, it's an order.

We've been given full authority from Rome, understand ?

This is "Radio Alice".

They're attacking in Via Irnerio !

Francesco!

What's happening ?

I was at home, they told me a riot was going on.

The carabinieri are attacking.

- Are they serious ? - No, don't worry.

Another round, do it !

- Have you seen Pigi ? - What about Marta ?

- What's going on ?

- Who killed him ?

This is war !>

"You will pay for this, you will pay dearly !"

"Burn Bologna, burn !"

"Stealing is a state offence, killing a comrade is no crime !"

"Stealing is a state offence, killing a comrade is no crime !"

"Stealing is a state offence, killing a comrade is no crime !"

Let's go !

You bastards !

Grandpa, what are you doing ?

I'm here for the pigout !

This is unbelievable !

Too bad it all ends here.

How can we go back tomorrow and air Mao-dadaist material

saying: "Have sex and don't work !"

Umberto, we had no choice. They fired and we defended ourselves.

Today, it was our only choice.

But we weren't after war.

We wanted to go somewhere,

maybe too far.

Why don't we go to Australia ?

If it were up to me,

I'd destroy it all !

I'd destroy it all !

What the fuck was that ?

Now you're talking !

What the fuck are you doing?

The cops will blow you to pieces !

OF KILLED STUDENT>

We're ready, Lieutenant.

I'm going to the store, there's nothing to eat.

there's nothing to eat. - I'm calling the station

to find out how the demonstration in Rome went.

Hello ?

Hi, Umberto.

I'm fine, the phone was off the hook.

None of your business ! Why, what happened ?

The police ?

Killed who ?

I haven't been out for two days.

I'll be right there.

They killed Francesco, from "Lotta Continua".

Aren't you coming ?

Do what you want.

The police are still outside.

- Our lawyers are on the way !

- Whoever knows a lawyer...

..please get in touch with us.

They're breaking in !

The police are breaking in !

They're in here. - Hands up ! Freeze !

- Let me through, I'm a lawyer.

- No one is allowed through.

I'm Minghini's, Minnella's and Saviotti's lawyer.

Get in there !

- Have you seen Umberto ? - No.

Have you seen Umberto, Bruno, Mingus ?

Have you seen Umberto ?

Have you seen...

Do you have...

a lawyer ?

What now ?

Let's find out where these roofs end.

Antonio, we're going out for coffee.

Stay here and wait for the magistrate.

Testing, one...

"Radio Alice" here...

This is Antonio and everyone must know

that the carabinieri should work less too !
