For her it's euthanasia.

802
00:59:36,958 --> 00:59:39,417
We don't have a law on euthanasia.

803

[She chuckles]

804
00:59:41,625 --> 00:59:43,250
And yet, she deserves a pardon.

805
00:59:43,333 --> 00:59:45,583
- It requires a legal pretext.
- [Dori] I know.

806
00:59:45,667 --> 00:59:48,708
Yet, she deserves a pardon
beyond any reasonable doubt.

807
00:59:48,792 --> 00:59:50,375
Here's the doubt:

808
00:59:50,458 --> 00:59:53,917
Isa Rocca is the niece
of the Minister of Justice's partner.

809
00:59:55,250 --> 00:59:57,083
- Ugo?
- [President] Yes, Ugo Romani.

810
00:59:57,708 --> 01:00:00,917
Ugo and I have been friends
since high school.

811
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,625
If I granted this pardon,
public opinion would destroy me.

812
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,542
Bureaucracy.

813
01:00:09,458 --> 01:00:12,417
Everyone hates it
because it slows things down,

814
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:13,917
but that's what it is for.

815
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,667
- [Dori] What is it for?
- To avoid hurried decisions.

816
01:00:17,292 --> 01:00:19,500
[Clock ticks]

817
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,292

There's a problem
with the audio connection,

we can't speak with Engineer Giordano.

He doesn't know we're connected.

It was 40 years ago,
it's past the statute of limitations.

to make some changes.

to burn down the museums,

but she won't reveal
the name I want to hear,

929
01:10:45,333 --> 01:10:47,375
she doesn't want
to betray an old friendship.

But isn't she my friend too?

A beautiful woman
asked me to go out with her.

I see her walking away, free, jaunty.

933

So, I get a glimpse

934

of what happiness is made of.

935
01:11:06,125 --> 01:11:08,250
And the light wasn't even that great.

936

I don't eat much, I smoke even less.

Yet, the lung I don't have, hurts.

938

My children...

939
01:11:23,458 --> 01:11:25,167
have organized things without me.

940
01:11:25,250 --> 01:11:26,833
They're smart,

941
01:11:27,667 --> 01:11:30,708
they know the future,
I don't even know the past.

942
01:11:31,500 --> 01:11:34,375
And then there's my best friend,

943
01:11:35,708 --> 01:11:37,000
I've...

944
01:11:38,792 --> 01:11:41,458
I've offended him,
worse, I've humiliated him.

945
01:11:43,125 --> 01:11:45,250
There's also a man

946
01:11:46,333 --> 01:11:48,667
who no longer reads,
who doesn't see anyone.

947

What does he know?

948
01:11:50,875 --> 01:11:53,292
What does he know that I don't know?

949
01:11:54,833 --> 01:11:59,875
Yet another man waits for his partner
every day outside a prison,

950
01:11:59,958 --> 01:12:02,583
in the rain, in the cold, in the heat.

951
01:12:06,750 --> 01:12:09,167
I think of my wife every day,

952
01:12:10,333 --> 01:12:11,958
I adored her,

953
01:12:12,500 --> 01:12:15,083
and I hated her, she betrayed me.

954
01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:20,708
And yet I've continued
to love and respect her,

955
01:12:21,333 --> 01:12:24,000
even though the only reasonable idea
that came to mind

956
01:12:24,083 --> 01:12:26,667
was to kill her, but I didn't.

957
01:12:26,750 --> 01:12:28,125
Why?

958
01:12:31,750 --> 01:12:34,625
Lastly, there's this horse, Holy Father.

959
01:12:35,167 --> 01:12:36,708
He's dying.

960
01:12:39,208 --> 01:12:42,250
We're all suffering
together with this horse.

961
01:12:48,625 --> 01:12:51,625
You know what you have, my friend?

962

[President] Quinoa.

1437
01:59:10,167 --> 01:59:12,125
<i>He had a pizza delivered.</i>

1438
01:59:13,750 --> 01:59:15,625
You're like your mother.

1439
01:59:17,833 --> 01:59:19,292
[Dori]
<i>How?</i>

1440
01:59:19,375 --> 01:59:20,417
You know me.

1441
01:59:20,500 --> 01:59:21,792
<i>Not really.</i>

1442
01:59:21,875 --> 01:59:25,125
<i>I'd never have imagined
you'd grant Isa Rocca a pardon.</i>

1443
01:59:25,792 --> 01:59:27,375
<i>And the motivation.</i>

1444
01:59:28,792 --> 01:59:31,083
<i>"Preventive self-defense."</i>

1445
01:59:31,875 --> 01:59:37,500
<i>A truly daring extension
of the principle of self-defense.</i>

1446
01:59:37,583 --> 01:59:40,208
Self-defense from a life that was hell.

1447
01:59:41,875 --> 01:59:43,792
<i>But she killed him in his sleep.</i>

1448
01:59:43,875 --> 01:59:47,458
He would have woken up
and continued to torture her.

1449
01:59:49,667 --> 01:59:52,250
- [Dori]
<i>She could have run away.</i>
- No.

1450
01:59:52,333 --> 01:59:53,583
She couldn't.

1451
01:59:55,750 --> 01:59:56,958
[Dori]
<i>Why not?</i>

1452
01:59:57,958 --> 01:59:59,292
Because she loved him.

1453
02:00:01,042 --> 02:00:04,000
It would have meant
running away from her very life.

1454
02:00:05,167 --> 02:00:06,917
She had no choice,

1455
02:00:07,667 --> 02:00:09,458
that's why we pardoned her.

1456
02:00:12,542 --> 02:00:14,792
<i>Why didn't you grant Arpa a pardon?</i>

1457
02:00:15,417 --> 02:00:17,292
His account was misleading.

1458
02:00:19,250 --> 02:00:20,542
[Dori]
<i>In what way?</i>

1459
02:00:21,250 --> 02:00:22,333
He did not love his wife.

1460
02:00:24,625 --> 02:00:26,583
<i>How do you know?</i>

1461
02:00:26,667 --> 02:00:28,000
[President] I spoke to him.

1462
02:00:29,458 --> 02:00:31,125
He was broken.

1463
02:00:32,458 --> 02:00:33,750
Broken inside.

1464
02:00:34,333 --> 02:00:36,250
Beyond any reasonable doubt.

1465
02:00:44,792 --> 02:00:46,000
<i>Dad,</i>

1466
02:00:47,833 --> 02:00:50,667
<i>would you like to hear
the latest song I've written?</i>

1467
02:00:52,875 --> 02:00:54,042
Alright.

1468
02:00:54,708 --> 02:00:57,250

Isa Rocca and her partner, six months
after the pardon was granted, broke up.

1477
02:03:35,250 --> 02:03:38,250
Cristiano Arpa,
after he was denied a pardon,

1478
02:03:38,333 --> 02:03:41,083
reapplied, this time in his own name.

1479
02:03:42,292 --> 02:03:45,542
Ugo Romani did not become
President of the Republic by one vote.

1480
02:03:45,625 --> 02:03:48,167
Rumor has it that
it was Mariano De Santis' vote.

1481
02:03:49,208 --> 02:03:52,792
Dorotea De Santis
enrolled in a dance class.

1482
02:03:53,917 --> 02:03:57,250
Every morning, Mariano De Santis
goes to his office as a senator for life.

1483
02:03:57,333 --> 02:03:59,000
In the evening, he waits at home.

1484
02:03:59,833 --> 02:04:04,958
He waits for his friend Coco Valori
to eat a light dinner.

1485
02:04:07,500 --> 02:04:09,958
[Music halts;
Loud slurping and gulping]

1486
02:04:37,917 --> 02:04:39,875
