HALLUCINATION STRIP

Is everything going
well next door, Giovanni?

Perhaps too well, madam.
No one's complaining.

- How is it they always listen to music?
- I wouldn't call it music, madam.

Now, Giovanni.
When you went crazy for the tango...

...you too must have
been a revolutionary.

You may go.
Thank you, Giovanni.

Do you think Giovanni wears
white gloves when he has sex?

Why?
Do you really think he has sex?

If he can find the time.
He can probably have it on Thursday

- when he gets some time off.
- When they give him some time off...

- But he's a servant, not a slave.
- Don't always make this a class struggle.

If I'm so class-conscious, why don't we
discuss something that will shut me up?

Is this okay?

- Why didn't Manuscia and Dominic come?
- They don't like spaghetti.

They're so out of it
in this consumer society

that they're content
to pick up crumbs from the floor.

Well... I'm worried for them.

Tell me, Massimo.
What will happen to them?

They could end up pretty bad
if we don't help them.

Instead of leaving for the fabulous Orient,
they'll go to jail if they're caught.

- We should do something.
- We must do something.

Listen, I've got an idea.
Come with me.

Here are my friends.
Clara and Renard, this is Patrizia...

- Can you put her up for a few days?
- Sure. Hi.

- Hi, Patrizia.
- Hi.

You'll be okay for a few days.

Have Cinzia and Massimo
already come to the point?

Yes, and Romolo is
standing by watching.

Hey! It looks like there was
a stripper here: one sock, two socks...

- Do they really have to sleep here
all the time? - Poor things...

They make the most of it 'cause they've
spent so many nights in sleeping bags.

Don't they have a home, a bed?

- How can they live with nothing?
- Nothing?

- They have their dreams.
- Listen...

They keep on drawing birds because
all they ever think of is 'flying away'

- Swallows, storks, ducks... - Yes,
all the migratory, transmigratory birds.

Wake up.
Wake up, ducklings.

Hey, guys...
Sorry to disturb...

You guys are great and I care for you.
I admire you a lot...

I said you could sleep here
if you had nowhere else to go...

But at this momentin time I'd
appreciate if you packed up and left...

- ...because we need this bed.
- Okay, okay.

- Cinzia, that painting...
- Yes?

- It's a present for you.
- Thank you.

- Manuscia and I made it for you.
- Cinzia is just the type...

- ...who might take flight like a duck.
- Right, but unfortunately it's us

who can't take off.
We're so bogged down here.

No, hold everything.
Ladies and gentlemen...

Study this object closely.
It may look like a load of bull...

But contrary to its appearance,
it is not.

Simply because, if we could find
a way to convert it into real cash...

...we would immediately have
the considerable sum...

...that you need... - ...to transform
our condition of two-legged beings,

...stuck in this shit swamp,

- ...into that of flying ducks...
- ...towards the Orient.

That would be great!

Listen now.

Give me time to find a buyer...

and you can finally realize
your dreams of achieving serenity...

...through yoga philosophy, and
finally make it to the fabulous Orient...

...thus escaping from the stinking
reality of the world around you.

We're not escaping,
it's a choice, asshole.

- Are you staying for lunch?
- What do I care about lunch?

- Someone stole my snuff box.
- Say who.

I hope the police will
find that out, and soon.

- And you'll bother the police for that?
- What else are they there for?

The problem isl can't find
the documents to show them.

This is the last time I'll tell you.
Do not touch my things.

Imagine some people are merry
only looking at this photo here.

Do you know my snuff box
is worth millions?

Where are you going?

I've just got to get home.
As always when I come out of school.

Don't forget your slippers, Cinderella.

You'll need them as long as you decide
to keep your feet on the ground...

...and refuse to fly away.

- Do you like it like this, Rudy?
- Yes, mom.

Your skin is so soft and delicate
you still seem like a little boy.

- Enough now, thanks.
- But he's still a little boy...

- though he plays being a grown-up.
- That will do, auntie.

- Finished?
- Yes.

- Aurelia, the towel, please.
- Right away.

Esther, hand me the towel.

Excuse me...
It's your friend Massimo.

Just a moment, Rudy.
You're all wet.

- Do you want to catch a cold?
- Will you keep still?

Didn't you hear?
Massimo is waiting for me, hurry up.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What happened to you?
You just disappeared.

I had a lot to do.
Sit down.

I had an idea that's making me crazy,
I'm going to need your help.

My help? You don't say!

How strange, on the same day
I've come to ask you for help.

I'm serious.
I'm going to throw a party.

Fine, but I don't see how ll can help.

I need a lot of drugs.
It will be great.

It's not as easy as you think...

We can't just pick it up
from the street.

Listen to me.
Forget about it.

Pretty, very pretty...

But now I'm not interested.
I can't buy it from you now...

Now I need everything
I've got for the happening.

You understand, don't you?

Sure, Rudy. No problem.

I understand you perfectly.

Stealing an object that belongs
to a collection. The best piece...

Only an unscrupulous
criminal could've done it...

And anybody who steal other people's
things has no moral principles.

Before breaking penal law...

- they shatter one of God's commandments.
- Two commandments...

- The seventh and the tenth.
- That's right, inspector.

And this is why ll ask you to dedicate
your body and soul to find this thief.

My collection represents a lot more
than its commercial value...

...and that's extremely high.

Why is this happening
so important to you?

You see...
It will be a liberation rite.

A personal experience...

...and only mine.

But I want other
people to participate...

Lots of people, friends...

A bit like a public confession.
What do you think?

You're nuts.
What do you wanna confess for?

If you ask me, your problems will be
resolved once you're out of this house.

No.
First, I have to know.

It will be extraordinary, Massimo.
Music, dancing, spectacular show...

You'll help me, right?

Excuse me, would you like to see
if these papers are okay?

Thank you.
Could you sign them now?

This one as well.

Thank you.

Now, inspector...
What have you got to tell me?

This wasn't done by any real professional.
I would say it was someone in your home.

Someone living in my home
wouldn't have broken the glass.

I'm sorry, but nobody here
would've done it.

Sir, do you know your daughter's
friends were here last night?

You didn't tell me your
daughter had guests last night.

Giovanni, tell my daughter
to come here immediately.

But she's not here yet.
She's still at school.

That must be her.

Good morning, miss.

It's a sunny day.
Why are the curtains drawn?

- What kind of people did
you invite here? - Not that again...

I consider them human beings, not
like the mummies you bring home.

Don't you know
your daughter's friends?

My father doesn't
even know his daughter.

Cinzia, my baby.
How can you say such things?

- That's my opinion, mom.
- What you think in this home...

Excuse me...

Would you tell me
your friends' names?

This is inspector De Stefani, Cinzia.

Sure... if that's what you want.

What do you mean why? Because in '68
society wasn't ready to get our message.

The working class
was not yet class-conscious.

And capitalist society
squashed us.

No, it just put us on a leash.

We can only be free by
refusing the consumer society.

So you'll fall right into their hands,
like Manuscia and Dominic.

By the way,
how about them?

They said they would
meet us outside the cinema.

You know how they are,
they have no sense of time.

I'd like to know what makes sense
to them, besides themselves.

No, Alberta.
Don't begin again.

1 will and I'll repeat it too. It's
useless for them to talk of choice...

they're running away. If you don't
like something, you just change it.

You don't just wander off and
sit there contemplating it...

...saying you've chosen.
You haven't chosen anything.

- For me, this is giving up the fight.
- No, Alberta, you've got it wrong.

It's not like that.
They object to it.

Manuscia and Dominic have turned
their backs on any form of violence...

no matter if it's
a just cause or not.

Right, and we're the ones
who'll end up in the shit...

Didn't you see the documentary?
This is all stuff from 1968...

Don't you see how they've been
trying to screw us over since then?

Instead of running away,
they could give us a hand.

You want a hand?
Only to blow everything sky-high.

Without even taking into consideration that
something here might be worth saving.

You know what? I'm not with you
under these conditions.

- Find out who these kids are.
- Right away.

- We found the run-away.
- Where is she?

We took her to the mental hospital.
She was loaded with drugs.

- To the mental hospital?
- Yes, inspector.

- Excuse me. You want this right now?
- No, not really.

- Cannavale, come with me.
- Yes, sir.

You can sit, Patrizia.

See what they have done to her.

Look at her.
Look at my little girl...

And also look at those thugs...

...who ruined her.

Look at them: they are sleazy,
dirty, sexually undefined.

They're animals with
no moral restraints, no principles...

Corrupt, fanatical
and blinded by drugs.

- Now you can sit. - They don't
deserve to be called human beings.

I want to report them
for corrupting a minor.

I wanna see them behind bars.

Manuscia and Dominic...

Why haven't they come
to visit me? Why?

Did they stay at home?

These freaks have the nerve
to show themselves before me!

I brought them over here

...to confront them
with your daughter.

Time to go now.
Come, Patrizia.

Cannavale, take them away.

Let's go.

What?
You're letting them go?

They must be punished but severely.

They're already suspected
of restraint of a minor,

though I'm not sure if the crime subsists.
The judge will establish that.

We'll also make some tests
to see if they're on drugs.

Why do you need to make tests?
Just look at their faces.

No, that isn't enough.
We have our procedures.

But don't worry. When it comes to
drugs, and I don't mean grass but...

...the hot stuff, the kind
which ruined your daughter,

I've got a real obsession.
I've seen too many people destroyed...

Watch out, though: when a girl like her
has run off for the fourth time

and she's been shooting
up for over a year,

I don't blame those people
who put her up for a few weeks.

1 blame her parents.

What do you mean by that?

Morally you're just as responsible as
the people who gave her the drugs.

If I turn up any evidence of paternal
neglect, I'll throw the book at you.

Think about it.

Hello.

Ah, you're alive.
What happened to you?

Yes, yes. Alright...

Okay, I'll be right over.

What are you doing here?

- The police are looking for us.
- Patrizia...

That girl we picked up on the street
has ended up in the loony bin.

Since we left her at Clara's, they're
accusing us of kidnapping a minor.

Clara and Renard are already in jail.
Did you realize?

They'll put us in prison
and separate us.

Just imagine, away from Dominic.

I'll be locked in a cell,
next to dreadful people.

Why on earth are you hiding here?
Why didn't you go to my place?

Your place?

It was too dangerous to go there.

Christ! My place is right near here.
You know it, don't you?

All you have to do
is cross the square.

Of course, I know.
We tried to cross it, but...

It seemed so big.
We would never have made it alone.

Okay. Wait here a second.
I'll take you over.

You look over there.

- It's the police.
- They'll arrest us.

They're definitely coming
in this direction.

- It's shut. - They're looking
for you, no doubt about it.

Listen, I'll run outside and
keep them busy for a while.

The moment they're going,
go to my place and stay there.

Somehow I'll find the money
to get you out of the country.

Here.

The cops! Give me a hand.
They've found out our operation.

Hey, Sicilian. If they get me,
they'll get you too.

Get him.

- Where has he gone?
- He's not here.

What a pleasure to see
you're interested in antiques.

How is the business?

More smoke than fire.

A snuff box was stolen
from a private collection.

I know, a fine example of
French 18th century workmanship.

Someone brought it in earlier,
thinking I was a fence.

Gossips are always there.

- What did you tell him?
- Nothing...

Out of pure love of fine art,
I gave him an appraisal.

Sure, it's valuable and
it's easily recognized.

When ll told him the price,
the guy was very disappointed.

He expected more, eh?

Much more.

Would you recognize him?

It's better if you talk.
Could you identify him?

Who knows?

Maybe.

- Il want another plant over there.
- Okay.

- Raf, try the lights.
- Good.

Stay still like that.

- One, two...
- Good.

...three.

Rudy.

Can you come here for a moment?

Do you like this pose?

- I do. Let's see the following one.
- Ok.

This way...

That's it.

- Okay, great.
- Rudy.

Ducks again? It's like
you're all ready to take off.

Do you like it?

It's nearly ready.
You'll see, it'll be wonderful.

I knew you'd come.

Rudy, I...

- I can get you the stuff.
- Great!

I knew I can count on you.
I'll get your money straight away.

Hi, Mario.

Some white wine.

Mario...

You haven't seen Manuscia and
Dominic around, have you?

- Who are you?
- I'm an old friend.

I haven't seen them
around lately and...

If you are their friend, you'd see
they were there, up on the wall.

I can't find the report right now.

- 1 thought it was not important.
- What do you mean not important?

You're right, I just didn't think...

I didn't think you wanted it.

However, I do remember now.
Yes...

They're all from wealthy families,
apart from two of them.

Romolo Sini,
born of unknown father.

The other one is Alberta Ferri, a
member of the extra-parliamentary left.

Alberta Ferri...

- I understand.
- There's one more thing...

They all go to the same high school.

Okay, okay... Bye.

Listen...

What we're learning
in this place is rubbish...

We're never gonna use it.

Take for example literature...

What are you making us read?
What do we learn from d'Annunzio?

Sex education?
What about philosophy?

We study philosophy
but nobody ever lets us use it.

What about history?
There's nothing objective in it.

It's the history that
the establishment wants us to learn.

They've made us a bunch of provincial
idiots and they wanna keep us that way.

This is why you didn't improve
in your studies.

1 think it's important
that we realized

our government is corrupt.
That there aren't enough hospitals,

our factories are a hell...

...and our cities are a paradise
for property speculators.

We students have
the civil and moral right

to refuse to collaborate with a system
that is continually trying to crush us.

De Stefani,
what are you doing here?

Have you come to arrest
these revolutionaries?

Good morning, professor.

- That's the police officer
after the snuff box. - Jesus!

I've got Manuscia and Dominic's
plane tickets in my pocket.

- Give them to me.
- No, not now.

Act normal, he's watching us.

That's what we're doing now
through the new school bodies.

No, this time you won't shut us up
with the same old stories.

We'll occupy the school

and we won't leave
until you accept our proposals.

Idiot, we come here to study,
not to talk about politics.

Dirty fascist!
That's what you call democracy?

This is a democracy,
we don't tolerate Fascism!

Now you'll stop ruining school!

School will never become
a honky-tonk place!

And it will never became
a Fascist school again!

Come with me.

Get out of here!

Why are you arresting me?
This is an authorized assembly.

Relax, I'm just taking you
to headquarters for a moment.

- No, you can't force me to go.
- Yes, I can.

The police can stop
anybody for questioning.

It will just take 15 minutes.
Come on.

- Don't touch him!
- Get your hands off him!

Fascists!

Fascists!

Can you tell me what it's about?

Why? Are you scared?

- Me? No.
- 1 told you.

In 15 minutes
you'll be back to your girlfriend.

Cinzia Roldi, right?

Yes.

Nice girl, isn't she?

Yes.

Let's go.

- Why are they arresting him?
- Because he has to be arrested.

Go back inside.
Don't get involved.

Do you recognize him?

Take a good look.

Yesterday a suspect we were following
approached him and told him something.

You were there,
I saw you.

You can't have noticed it.
It happened right under your nose.

You looked you were wide awake.

Do you know who this man is?
He's known as "The Sicilian™

One of the biggest
dope pushers in Rome.

You are using big words, inspector.

I've been pursuing him for years and
this is a good time to trap him,

if you help me.

Now...
What did that man tell him?

No, I'm sorry.
1 haven't seen anything.

1 haven't seen or heard anything.

What have I told you, inspector?
You got it wrong again.

Even though you tried to influence
this kid in every way.

It's not right what you do,
it's not correct, inspector.

May ll go now?

Goodbye.

You made me seem like an imbecile.

Now will you please explain,
1 have to understand.

In school you speak like a hero:

the liberty and the dignity of man.

Now you're protecting a criminal
who gets rich on selling drugs.

You say you want to understand, but do
you have any idea why people take drugs?

No.

But I'm sure that soon they'll be
putting drugs in baby bottles.

It will be quicker that way.
Alright, I'm drawing a line...

On one side are the ones who
have nothing to do with drugs.

While on the other are
the ones who are involved.

You're on that side and if
you don't talk, I can break you.

I'll incriminate you.
First...

for the theft of the snuff box.

You... have no actual proof of that,
it's just speculation.

A theft that was carried out
with the assistance of Cinzia Roldi

...whom you've been taking to bed.

Second, I can also incriminate you
for helping two persons get away...

Their names are...
Manuscia and Dominic.

Friends of yours.

With these two charges,
I can assure you...

you'll be finishing
your high school studies in jail.

You may also have all the time
to finish university.

- Cannavale.
- Yes, inspector?

Now leave.

- Cannavale, come inside.
- Right away.

I'll leave it up to you.
I showed my good will...

but don't make me lose my patience.
Think it over, you know where to find me.

- Yes, sir?
- Throw him out.

For the moment.

Thanks.

Will we get through passport control?

Sure, they don't know
your real names.

Thank you, Massimo. Bye.

Thank you, bye.

Bye, Manuscia.

Thank you.

Bye.

Thank you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Yes, sir?
- I'm looking for a friend: Massimo.

- Rudy

- Let's go outside and talk.
- We can talk here, these are friends.

- You know, you should come here sometime.
- No, I prefer to talk outside.

Romolo, take my place.
I'll be right back.

Read it.

The dancers you met at my place are
going to be touring overseas soon.

You said you already had the stuff.

Massimo...

This party isn't a whim at all.

It can bring a magical
moment in my life.

In closing an absurd existence
I'll begin to live at last.

The thing is all the time now
I'm obsessed with a doubt.

It's insidious like an illness...

That is I'll never be able
to live my own life.

I'll have to stop
this absurd existence

or I might as well
jump off the top floor.

Please.

I beg you, there's no time to lose.

Don't worry, I asked around
but there's been little delay...

- It's only a matter of days.
- Okay. Bye.

You know I don't like him.

Yes, but he's useful.

I used his cash to help Manuscia
and Dominic get out the country.

- Does Stefania live here all alone?
- Yes, she's a bit crazy.

She used to deal and right
now she's our only hope.

- Massimo, darling...
- Stefania.

How long has it been?
You came to see Stefania?

Did you remember me?

- Is this your girlfriend?
- Yes.

You're very beautiful.

I need your help.

Listen...

Can you get me some stuff?

My contacts have all disappeared.

Arrested. Or scattered
so they are not to be caught.

I don't know what to do either.
My contacts have disappeared too.

I looked everywhere for them.

I'll go desperate.

I've still got some left.

I keep it in here because I'm
afraid someone might steal it.

It's almost finished.

I could die if I don't get any more.

I can't live without it.

Please, if you find some,
will you bring it to me?

Don't abandon me as well.

Get some for me.
I'll pay whatever they want.

Step on the gas...

Drive real fast!

As fast as you can. Go...

Let's crash into a tree.

We're young, beautiful.
We just made love...

We won't have such
a happier moment for dying.

I'm begging you, my love.
I'm begging you.

I know this person
is trying to sell it.

I'm going to let him run
with the snuff box...

Just like the rabbit in a dog race.

It happens that the guy who
stole it is looking for drugs.

But is it worth the risk?

Probably yes, because...

...we might pick up a big shot.

It would have been crazy,
we have got to try to live happily.

Not die happily.

If I had known my parents...

1 probably would have annoyed me too.

But all I had were aunts,
masses of aunts.

I had more aunts than
anyone else in the world.

As soon as ll ran away from one,
another would come and bring me back.

What else do you remember
about your village?

- Modi.
- Was itadog?

No, a girl.
Actually, she was a whore,

the village whore.
They used to call her Modi.

But her real name was Modesta.

I must have been about fifteen then.
Every night...

I would go to the bar at the harbor
with some pretext or another.

- I sat in the corner watching her.
- Were you in love with her?

One night ll went with her.
I'd managed to save up 5000 lira.

I was terrified because
it was my first time...

I was shaking all over.
I felt so embarrassed.

In other words...

I couldn't do a thing.

She wanted to give me a refund
but I didn't want it, so she said

"Come back anytime you want,
you'll make it in the end.

I'll be waiting for you."

And did you make it at last?

- Oh, they are for us! Thank you, dear.
- That looks good.

Go thank your daddy, will you?

Mom, can ll have a drop of wine?

- Thank you, sir.
- You're welcome.

Don't keep on, mom. You know
it's no good for your health.

- Can ll have it, mom?
- No, last week you were sick.

But the doctor told me
I can have some.

No, you've already had some.

- Run! There's a body!
- Where?

Over there! Look!

- It's the guy who was talking to
The Sicilian the other night. - Right.

There's something strange
about these accidents.

Go phone headquarters.

- Let's see who's first.
- I will!

Good morning.

- I have an appointment
with Mr. Buscemi. - Who are you?

- Massimo Monaldi, Buscemi knows me.
- You'll find him at the pier.

Here ll am.

Tomorrow you'll get
the stuff you asked for.

The snuff box I'll accept
instead of money.

It might not be easy to sell now,
but ll appreciate beautiful things.

It will be a pleasure
to keep it for myself.

And I'm glad to return a favor.

Friendship is important.
Life is all about making friends.

You do me a favor
and I'll remember.

And 1 will give it back
when the moment comes up.

I like you.
You're youthful...

...and you've
good stuff in your head.

You know how
to keep your mouth.

There aren't many like you.

Most men are usually stupid.
They're bigmouths...

They can't do nothing about it.
It's an illness.

And sooner or later
they'll go meet their maker.

Can't believe it?
No, they're sick.

Come see me, anyway.

Your operation interests me.

It's... incredible.

My baby.

He gave his friend some money..

His only friend.

The only one
he ever asked for anything.

After all...

he never needed anything.

Iooo

We... gave him everything he wanted.

Do you know
his friend's name, countess?

Massimo Monaldi.

He was the only rival ll had
in Rodolfo's heart.

This Monaldi, is he on the list
of the kids we picked up last night?

No, but he's on the list of suspects
for the theft of Roldi's snuff box.

- Could I use your phone?
- Certainly.

Inspector... don't cross the line
as you usually do.

Hello. Roldi residence.

This is police inspector De Stefani.
I want to speak to Cinzia.

- She's not at home.
- Who's speaking?

- I'm the butler.
- Let me speak to Mrs. Roldi, please.

Right away, sir.

Hello, inspector.
Have you found the snuff box then?

I'm sorry, madam.
I wanted to speak to Cinzia.

- Sheisn't at home.
- Don't tell me she's at school.

- No, she's gone away.
- When?

Two or three days ago.
She was tired and depressed.

You know how kids are today.
She said she wanted to go on a trip.

Not the type you mean.

I don't understand, inspector.

I'll tell you later.
Goodbye.

- Quick, call an ambulance.
- Right away.

Hello.
This is Cannavale.

Send an ambulance to Piazza Rinascita.

Yes, it's behind Piazza Navona.

Yes, okay.

Thanks.

Throw the ball.

Come on!
Throw the ball!

Damn it!

Come on!
Throw the ball!

Those junkies have just come in
and now they're going out again.

- Why don't you join them too?
- Oh, come on!

- Why don't you go with them?
- I'm not the son of a big shot.

- Hey, aren't you Romolo?
- Will you give me the ball?

Take it easy, jerk!
Don't you know me? I'm Benedetto.

Sure ll know you!
How you've been anyhow?

- Pretty bad, ll imagine. You're in.
- You know ll got used to live in jail.

Do you remember I told you
my dad was always on the move?

Well, he was here instead!

Don't worry. We knew it already.

- But why are you in?
- Why?

I'm a thief's son,
what else can 1 do?

- And you? What about you?
- I'm in for using drugs.

Hey, can you believe this guy?

And what about your mom?

My mom? She is fine, thanks.

I remember she was pretty for real.

Is she always fucking around?

Let's go, guys!

Yes, of course.

- What does he want from me?
- I don't know.

We'll do everything in our power,
Your Eminence. Goodbye.

Did you want me?

- Put these in the files.
- Yes, sir.

Yes, I have to speak to you.

Yes, Excellency,
they explained it to me...

It's a terrible accident.
Poor boy.

Of course the countess
is heartbroken completely.

Drugs?
No, not at all.

Excellency, it was only
a first impression of course.

You know, last night
on the spur of the moment...

But then we soon realized...

You know... they got
a bit too excited for the party.

A bit too much whiskey.
That's all.

They're all well-to-do kids from
important families above suspicion.

The press? No...
Not one word, luckily.

And for the magistrate?

Perfect.

Goodbye, Your Excellency.

All done. We're not going
to talk about it anymore.

No, we're going
to talk about it instead.

- I got orders. - I don't give
a freak who you got orders from.

Whosever idea it was,
I'm not accepting it.

And not because some guys who
take drugs have not been arrested.

But because it prevents me from
putting my hands on The Sicilian.

I know he gave Monaldi the drugs
in exchange for the snuff box.

We'll raid his house
and we'll get the snuff box.

Monaldi won't be able to deny it.
This is an important chance.

I want to get The Sicilian
and no one can stop me.

Say what you want
but this matter is closed.

De Stefani, those are your orders,
don't make me angry!

Relax, it's nothing.

Ok, it's done.

- Where's the girl who was in bed 11?
- She was taken away around an hour ago.

- Where was she taken?
- I don't know.

I'm sorry. ll know nothing about it.

Good morning.
How is our patient?

You seem a lot better.

- Are you the head physician?
- Yes, why?

I'm police inspector De Stefani.
Who authorized Ms. Roldi's discharge?

- She was brought here by the police.
- There was no need for authorization.

There was no criminal action
taken against her.

Besides, the officer guarding her was
immediately called back to headquarters.

Anyway, you must have carried out
a preliminary diagnosis on Ms. Roldi.

Of course. ll did it myself:
"psychic confusionary state'.

Strange, a diagnosis that says
everything and nothing.

Indeed, in this case
it was nothing, inspector.

- You can't come in here.
- I'm police inspector De Stefani.

I'd like to ask her a few questions.

It's absolutely impossible.

Her condition won't permit it.

- Psychic confusionary state.
- Yes, why?

No matter.
Simple curiosity.

- And of course she won't be
able to speak. - No, sir.

- Inspector... - I know,
the investigation was suspended.

Please, remember then.

The drugs which have destroyed
your daughter and killed Rudy...

...were paid for with the
money from your snuff box.

But we will never recuperate it
if this case is closed.

- My snuff box? What do you mean?
- Oh, you don't know.

You're so prone to
citing the Ten Commandments

when it concerns
defending your property...

1 would like to remind you
of this one:

"1 shall not bear false witness".

You're risking incrimination.
Madam.

Well, here I am now.
What have you been doing today?

You're always making love, eh?

Calm down, I'll give some
special treat to you as well.

Now, here we are.

Don't fight.
There's enough for the two of you.

I know you. In the beginning it's
all 'amore) and after that you start...

Too bad.

He's a good-looking kid.

I called Cinzia. They said
she'd gone to Switzerland.

Do you realize what
sons of bitches they are?

What do you expect? They'd
ask you to come in and drink tea?

You're the only who's not involved.
Try to get in contact with her.

I can't live like this.
I've got to know...

how she is, where they took her.
Or I'll go mad.

Come on, Massimo.
Don't worry about it so much.

The other people at Rudy's
were big wigs' kids too.

Their fathers will
surely do something.

Well, see you later
at the health-food place.

Fascists, bourgeois,
just a few more months!

All power to the working class!

Ferriis in the front.
She's a friend of Monaldi's.

Fascist rats,
go back to your sewers!

Have you seen Massimo?
I need to meet him.

Look for him, tell him not to run away.
I must speak to him.

- Keep an eye on her. Follow
her after the march. - Ok.

Nothing doing. ll went to the clinic
but they didn't allow me to see her.

I couldn't talk to her either.

Am ll intruding?

- What's this all about?
- Well, I...

You don't have to worry.
It's all finished.

- Investigations are over.
- The big shots, the untouchables...

I told you that, no?

See you at Campo de' Fiori
after the reunion.

Right, go fight for a better world.

Are you teasing me, inspector?

So it's all over...

And what about Cinzia
in the mental hospital?

And Rudy's death?

Rudy's death was an accident.

Cinzia had a tremendous shock
because of what happened to her friend.

In time she'll be alright
and they'll send her home.

The Sicilian will go on
furnishing drugs,

and he'll have the snuff box
you gave him in exchange.

How do you know?

In your opinion...

who took out
the small-time peddlers?

Who prepared your introduction
to The Sicilian,

to whom you granted a great service?

You mean to tell me
you've known my every move?

NO, Io..

I just directed your every move...

...in order to catch The Sicilian
right-handed.

Don't you realize you've
been playing with my life?

If things had worked out
the way you'd hoped,

I'd be in jail...
who knows for how long!

Didn't they ever tell you that stealing
snuff boxes and buying drugs...

- ...will land you in prison?
- Yes!

You should've stopped me.

Massimo.

I didn't stop you because catching
The Sicilian was more important.

- It's obvious.
- No, it's not obvious.

You should've risked your life.
If your superiors close this case...

why don't you go shoot
The Sicilian in the head?

- You're right.
- Of course.

After all, you've come this far.
You don't wanna stop now.

I said you are right.

Excuse me, inspector.
But we got no warrant.

Perhaps we shouldn't do it.

Cannavale, don't worry
about it this time.

If there's any danger,
it's better I'll do it myself.

No, I'll go with you.

They always get there before us.

Now he's dead,
he'll stop selling drugs.

He's no good to us now.

He was useful while he was living.

It's all been for nothing.

This is De Stefani.
I wanna speak to the chief.

They want to kill him.
Let's go.

Where do you think you're going?

- Massimo!
- Cinzia!

Cinzia, my God...

I thought ll was going mad.

Look...

It's Rudy's sweater.

- Let's get out of here, Cinzia.
We'll always be together. - No.

- Come away with me.
- No, Massimo...

Do you remember...
Manuscia and Dominic's ducks?

Listen to me, Massimo.
I can't.

I have no courage to it.
I realized it lately...

I'm a quitter, Massimo.

What are you saying?
It's not true.

I don't have your strength.
I'll never have it.

I'll always need someone to help me,
I'll need wealth,

important people's friendship.
My wings will never spread.

What have they done to you?
I don't recognize you anymore.

Are you giving up without
even knowing what real life is like?
