All language subtitles for The Stendhal Syndrome 1996f.e

Miss?

Are you all right?
Let me help you up.

Don't worry,
it must have been the heat.

You've cracked your lip,
it's bleeding a little.

Excuse me, Miss...
You forgot this.

Hey, you're still bleeding.

Take this.

Maybe you should
sit down a minute.

You want me to take you
to a hospital?

No.

My name's Alfredo,
what's yours?

My name...

I found it lying open
on the floor.

Sorry, I have to go.

Wait, let me go with you.

Do you want a taxi?

Do you need some money?

Do you know your name?

Can you remember it?

It was the paintings,
wasn't it?

Works of art have...

power over us.

Great works of art
have great power.

Most of them...

they'll never understand,
but I do.

And I think...you do, too.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

Hey...

Just a second.

For the taxi.

Don't worry, just take it.

Miss?

Miss?

Miss Manni?

Miss Manni!

Miss Manni,
didn't you hear me?

Chief Inspector Manetti called.

He called a number of times.

It seemed urgent.

Who?

Manetti...

Chief Inspector Manetti.

Who am I?

Manni.

One to relax, two to sleep.

Doctor in Rome.

Anna Manni.

Hello? Information?

Yes, I'm looking
for a number in Rome.

Anna Manni.

Yes.

Hi, this is Anna.

Leave me a message and
I'll call you back as soon as I can.

...Set up those lights over there...

Lock the doors!

Lock the doors!

Where are we?

Rome.
But you can't pass here.

It's all right,
I'm a police officer.

She's okay.

I know her.

Where have you been?

We found her an hour ago.

Manetti's checking it out.

He wants to talk to you.
Over there.

Manni...

Over here.

She's been dead
for about 12 hours.

Looks like the same guy.

Raped 15 women,
killed the last two.

I want you to go to Florence.

We're sure he's raped
three women there,

but he hasn't killed yet.

Why?

Three in Florence
and the rest in Rome.

You've followed
all the cases here,

and you know
the way he operates.

It's up to you.

You leave tomorrow.

Talk to our people
in Florence.

Tell them what you know
and find out what they know.

Diplomatically, huh?

You're bright.

I can trust you.

Now that he's
started killing...

he won't stop.

He's a mother...

This guy's a real wacko.

Did you see
the other two he killed?

Anna...

Whew, I'm out of here, too.

How about going to your place
for, uh, a pizza?

A video.

Marco... huh?

Your gun,
Assistant Inspector Manni.

Did you come to Florence
just to look for me?

Well...

You found me.

Here I am.

No!

I want you the way you were
this morning...

With your lips bleeding.

I wanted so badly
Yo kiss your mouth...

your bleeding lips.

No, don't.

Stay awake.

Hey...

I watched you
looking at the paintings.

You got that feeling,
didn't you?

You got that feeling.

No, no.
Stay awake.

I want you to come with me.

No!

Oh, oh.

Stop!

Stop.

Hey, what happened here?

Calm down. Calm down.

I'm a police officer
from Rome.

Anna Manni.

Come on, guys, let's move it!

Where are the paramedics?

Hurry!

Okay, hold it...

The lab team's working
on the room.

How's Anna?

This place is a mess.

Sir, I found this
out in the hall.

Okay, we're finished.

We'll have the results
for you in a couple of days.

Do you feel
up to talking, huh?

Yes.

Was there anything unusual
about his features?

No.

Could you identify him
if you saw him again?

Yes.

Do you remember
having seen him before?

Yes.

At the police station.

He's identical
to the composite

they made of the murderer.

We're doing
all the clinical tests...

except for the HIV.

It's still
too early for that.

You should have one
in a month,

then in three
and after six months.

I know it's rough, but...

there's nothing to be done.

No.

I'm sorry about all this,

but the law requires it.

It's a light sedative
to help you relax.

If you don't want it,
just say so.

You need to rest
and get your strength back.

Don't worry about
your loss of memory.

This kind of amnesia
is almost always temporary.

Lie down for a few minutes
and try to sleep.

Anna.

I'll be right outside
if you need me.

Get some rest.

Okay?

Miss!

Are you all right?

Oh, you've broken your glass.

Yes.

Would you like
something for that cut?

We have an antiseptic
in the first aid box.

No.

Oh, sorry.

Maybe she was right.

You should put something
on that cut.

It's bleeding a lot.

Does it hurt?

No.

Sure?

Sure.
It just stings a little.

Anna.

Hi.

Uh, let me take your bag.

No, no...

Come on, I'll carry it.

Okay.

So... how're you doing?

Inspector Manetti's
on his way.

Good luck.

Anna, the commission's arrived.

They're in there
waiting for you.

They're familiar with your case,
so don't worry,

they just want
to talk to you.

Why did you cut your hair?

So short.

I don't know.

I feel better like this.

Why, is it a problem?

Absolutely not.

Here.

A new badge and a new gun

to replace the ones
that bastard stole.

There was no negligence
on your part.

The commission just confirmed
what I knew already.

You know
how fond I am of you,

how much I value your work.

I feel terrible
about what happened.

Maybe it was partly my fault.

Nine millimeter.

The rounds are steel-capped.

About the best defensive
weapon you can have.

Uh, they want you to stick
around headquarters...

for a while.

There's a lot of work
for someone like you.

And they want you to start
seeing our psychologist

twice a week.

We'll get him, Anna.

Wherever he is,
we'll find him.

Do you remember
what you said?

About when they start to kill
they never stop?

Uh-huh.

But he didn't kill me.

I think he wants me alive.

We don't have to look
for him, he'll come to me.

Look, starting from today,

you'll have an around-the-clock
police escort.

Two of our best men.

Hi, this is Anna.

Leave me a message
and I'll call you back as soon as I can.

Thank you.

I was sent to Florence
because, uh...

I do most of my work
with the anti-rape team.

It all started with
a series of cases in Rome...

and, uh, nearby towns.

Then, in a month, there were
three cases in Florence.

And so my boss sent me
up there to...

exchange information
with the local police...

to find out what they knew.

I was in my hotel room...

one morning...

when I got a phone call.

It was a woman.

She said...

she said she knew
I was working on the case.

And she thought she knew
who the man was.

She told me her name, but I...
I can't remember it.

She said he was in town and...

and uh, would visit
the Uffizi Gallery.

How did she know that?

I don't know.

She just said that, that he'd
be there that morning.

Did you call headquarters
in Florence?

No.

I went to the museum.

I had a vague idea
of what he looked like

because I saw the composites
at the police station.

It was a long shot.

But I went anyway.

Pretty stupid, huh?

Yes.

I've always been
too sure of myself.

You know what I thought?

I thought...

that if I saw him,

I'd arrest him.

Or shoot him...

...if necessary.

What happened at the museum?

There was, uh, a long line.

Lots of confusion.

Inside...

it was really weird.

Strange atmosphere.

The paintings...

...they, they seemed
to be floating.

I followed a group
of tourists into a room.

And I entered a painting.

Oh, it was as if I, I was
suddenly immersed in it.

I mean...

I was looking at it...

when...

I know it sounds crazy.

Let's try never
to use words like crazy.

"The symptoms include
a cold sweat...

nausea, anxiety,
hallucinations,

severe depression
and personality changes."

Yes.

In 1817, the French writer,
Stendhal, was in Florence.

He was admiring
the works of art

in the church of Santa Croce

when he was overcome
by powerful emotions.

It had certainly happened
to others before him,

but he was the first
to write about the phenomenon

in his diary.

That's why what happened
to you in the Uffizi

is known as
"the Stendhal syndrome."”

"My feeling is so profound
that it borders on pity.

All this speaks clearly
to my soul.

Oh, if only
I could forget it."

There was a certain degree
of happiness

in this powerful feeling
of Stendhal's.

Yet, in spite of that...

the only thing he wanted
to do was forget it.

Hi, Anna. How's it going?

Hi, how're you doing?

Hi.

Can I come in?

Sure.

Everything okay?

Stupid question.

I brought you something.

Videos.

Buster Keaton films

for a laugh.

Frozen pizzas.

And a bunch of flowers...

for you.

Marco...

I don't want these things.

Hey, don't worry.
I'll leave it for you anyway.

You eating these?

Yes.

But you never used
to eat chocolates.

Well, now I find I like to.

I miss you, Anna.

No, I can't make love, Marco.
7

I can't even think about it.

You see...

I'm not your woman anymore.

No!

I'm sorry.

But it's been
so long since we...

...Since we made love.

Right...

So you want to have sex?

So, you want to fuck, huh?

Come on, Anna.
- You want to screw, huh?

Don't, Anna.

Stop.
- Turn around.

No, what are you doing?

Ahh...
- You want to fuck me, huh?

I'm fucking you.

Come on, Anna.
- I'm fucking you.

Anna, Anna, stop it, please.

You like it?

Ah!
- Like to be fucked, huh?

Anna, come on!
- Shut up!

I don't want to hear
your voice. Shut up!

Anna!

Fucking you!

Sure you like it.

I haven't finished yet.

Anna!

Anna...

Anna, I'm not...

Oh, shit.

I wanted to fuck him
like a man.

The that way men do it.

The idea of being fucked
disgusts me,

of having sex, makes me puke.

I'm scared.

Of what?

Something...

...that's inside of me.

That makes me hurt myself.

I keep cutting myself.

Hurting myself...

mainly the hands.

But I don't do it on purpose.

Maybe I do.

The physical pain
doesn't bother me.

It makes me feel alive.

Now, let's put things
in order.

Two very serious things
happened to you.

A rapist-killer stalked you,
jumped you, and all the rest.

And there's a good chance

that he'll come
looking for you again.

That's one thing.

Second...

you got a shock
looking at those paintings.

A shock followed
by hallucinations.

The Stendhal syndrome.

That's important, too.

But it's an illness
that will soon be over,

and the memory of
what you felt will fade away

until it practically
disappears.

For the moment, you have to...

try to love yourself more.

To stop despising yourself
because you were raped.

Don't hate yourself
because he desires you.

You aren't responsible
for all that.

Where does your family live?

Viterbo.

Why don't you
get away for a while?

Leave Rome.
I'll tell your boss.

Go to Viterbo.

It's close enough for us
to continue our meetings.

I don't like
going back there.

I joined the police force
to get away

from everything
that place meant to me.

My brothers...

...school friends...

...my house, my father.

Anna, you're back!

Hi.

Giulio!

Always hang out in the square, huh?

Giulio, come here!

Hey, look who's back.

What did they do?
Kick you off the force?

No, I'm on leave.

Hey, why don't you pass by
old Mario's gym?

Watch out...
I've been training.

Oh yeah?

Ciao.

Anna.

Hi, Dad.

You're in time for dinner.

Your brothers
are here already.

New haircut.

You've changed
the way you dress, too.

You look different.

Yeah, you look like a boy.

What did you have to say
she looked like a man for?

Because she does, Dad.

You saw--
- So?

She's hardly back
in the house

and you have to upset her.

Did the police
send you to a doctor?

A psychologist.

Is that necessary?

Yes.

I think so.

I have problems, you know.

Is it closed?

The museum?

It's been under restoration,
Anna, for the past two years.

Anna?

Anna?

No, my father never
set foot in the museum.

I used to go there
with my mother.

She tried to teach me
art history.

She was a painter.

Why do you think this incident

came to mind only today?

I don't know.

I was driving
past the museum,

which is closed
for restoration work,

and I remembered it.

Doctor, I think I might try
painting something myself.

Is that all right?
- Absolutely.

I think it's
an excellent idea.

Anna... what are you...?

Anna, calm down
before somebody gets hurt.

Yeah, we're training.

All right, you two.

Don't just stand there,
let's mix it up a little.

Okay, if you want
to get serious...

Hey...

So, I left him.

I just had to.

Not that he was bad in bed,

I mean, in bed,
he made up for it.

But some things
are just too much,

you know what I mean?

He kept pushing and pushing

and finally,
something snapped.

No, I don't expect guys to be
completely honest with me.

Do I look like somebody
who believes in fairy tales?

But still, a girl appreciates
a gentleman now and then.

Hmm, sure.

I'd like to kiss you, too.

He never liked kissing.

I'm the opposite.

I'm the oral type.

Wait.
There's a place back here.

Where, where you know
the local whores go.

Come. Come, come.

A hooker from Senegal
called us,

one of the bunch
that does tricks in this area.

She brings her clients
back here at night.

Found her lying down there.

Hold it a sec.

Ah, it's him again.
Same technique.

What did you see?

I come here alone, see...

I call my friend.

I don't know who she is.

And you?

I, I've never see her.

I've never see her.

It was definitely
what's his name, Alfredo.

There's nothing
to be afraid of.

We've got you protected,
night and day.

You see that guy down there?

His name's Parisi.

He was in the Marines...
a captain.

They're pretty tough.

Now, here's that list
you wanted.

I don't get it, Anna.

What are you doing?

Why do you want to contact
all the women he raped?

I mean--
- I don't know.

I just want to talk to them.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll learn something.

Well, you didn't need
to drive all this way

to give me
these phone numbers.

You could have faxed them.

No, no, no. I wanted to.

I wanted to see you.

Anna, tell Marco to come in.

No, he has to go.

What did you say you wanted?

To see you.

So...

What do you see?

Who is it, hello?

Hello.

What's your name?
- Vincenzo.

And I bet your
last name's Gorlai, right?

Yes.

Is your mommy home?

Mommy?

Hello?
- Yes, uh...

my name is Anna Manni.

Do I know you?

No. No, I'm a police officer.

I work with the A.R.D.

The anti-rape department.

I see.
What can I do for you?

I'd like to ask you
about your experience?

N-nothing very--

I'm really sorry, but I can't
answer any questions.

Yes, I know
how hard it is to...

It isn't a question
of hard or easy.

I don't want to answer
any more questions, that's all.

I'm here with my children.

I was lucky
I wasn't murdered.

I'm here, now.

And I don't want
Yo go back there.

So you really
want to know what happened to me?

Yes, if you want to tell me.

Sure, I do.

I remember trusting him.

I was lying in a field.

I remember his hands
around my neck

squeezing tighter and tighter

and the feeling of being torn
between the legs... inside.

I remember that every time
he stopped squeezing my neck,

he hit me in the face.

I remember
his stinking breath.

Then, I also remember
thinking...

this son of a bitch...

this son of a bitch
isn't very different

from my ex-husband.

That pig.

You know, this city's
full of monsters.

People moving away
from large, built-up areas

attracted by safer, more acceptable
living conditions in the provinces

are having to pay
an unexpected price.

Rents are rising in
small to medium-si--

Yes, you continue
to talk about my wife's murder,

but you don't accept all the rest.

-- Before she was killed.

I'm sorry to have disturbed you,
Mr. Manini.

I shouldn't have.

And all this
happened to my wife!

-- I called.

And I'll never know
what she had to endure.

What torture?

Can you tell me?

Can you tell me what
she was thinking?

What she was feeling?

Can you tell me,
Miss Manni?

Left, combination,

left, left, jab, jab...
work it, good.

Keep it up.
Keep it movin'.

I'm sorry, Anna.

I didn't mean to.

Sorry.

Why?

The blood makes you sick?

Huh? Look!

Hey, Anna...

Look!

I'm eating with Alessandro.

Join us, Dad.

Hello?

Hello, Anna.

I've missed you.

I've thought a lot about you.

"My feeling is so profound

that it borders on pity.

All this speaks clearly
to my soul.

Ah, if only
I could forget it."

Yes, if only I could forget.

Stendhal couldn't.

And you?

Can you forget?

Can you forget me?

I've missed you so much.

Never three
with the same match.

It's unlucky.

You hear that noise?

It's running water.

It's absolutely...

...pure.

Do you remember
when you were... pure?

You know,

junkies used
to use this place,

but something must have
scared them away.

They left to shoot up
somewhere else.

Scream.

Let's play a game.

We're out in the country.

Two miles east
of the highway.

There's no trace of Anna.

No, no, no.

The helicopter
has to go back to base.

And continue the search
tomorrow morning.

Of course,
I'm gonna carry on.

How many other teams
can you get

to patrol the rest
of this area?

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Remember, I like to make
phone calls, too.

Oh, yes...

I really do.

Like when I called you
in Florence.

Except then,
I had this voice...

You don't know me,

but there's something
I must tell you.

The man you're looking for

will be visiting the Uffizi
Gallery this morning.

Yes... I like
making phone calls.

And you fell for it.

I'd already spotted you
in Rome.

I knew what you wanted.

You wanted me.

You like me, don't you.

I know you're always
on my side.

And I love you, too.

I see you changed guns.

Moved up
to a nine millimeter.

You don't use this baby
to stop your man.

Pow!

You use it when you want
to blow him to bits.

I have to meet
somebody in town.

I have something
that she desperately desires.

Hmm.

What fresh, invigorating air.

Help! Help! Help!

Help! Help! Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help! Help!

You'll have to do a lot
better than that.

Uh!

What are you going to do?

Shoot me?

Are you going to shoot me?

You can't shoot me.

You're a fucking cop,
you have to arrest me.

I give up.

Arrest me, it's my right.

You have the right
to shut up.

Ah!

Well...

Is that better?

Move.

Can't you move?

What about a walk
in the nice, fresh air?

How do you like the fresh
and invigorating air?

Can you hear the water?

It's so clean.

You remember
when you were clean?

What are you looking at?

You want to have sex? Hmm?

No, really, tell me.

What do you want?

Don't be shy.

What?

Oh, I see.

You want to take a bath.

'Cause you feel dirty.

Yes.

You want to take a long bath.

Will I have
this scar forever?

No, you'll see.

With a little plastic surgery
in no time...

You'll be as good as new.

No sign of the scar.

Here, look at this map.

You see, the river
runs down the valley

for a mile and a half
and then ends up

in the water company's
outfall drain.

Why is locating the body
such a problem?

Because the drain
is divided

into dozens of
filtering channels.

You know how it is,
Inspector,

there was a scramble
for contracts around here

when it was built.

And a lot of people
tried to get in on the act.

So nobody knows where
this damn river ends up.

I'm an engineer in
the maintenance department, Inspector.

I didn't have anything to do

with the speculation
that went on.

I want that body found.

A broken neck.

A nine millimeter bullet
in his chest

and enough blood around
to fill a bathtub.

I still want that body found.

He's gone forever, Anna...

Dead.

You killed him.

He'll never go away.

He'll always come back.

Always.

Hello.

Just a moment, please.

I have Chief Inspector
Manetti for you.

Thank you.

Anna.

We're going to pay a visit
to that bastard's wife.

You were right, his name
was Alfredo, Alfredo Grossi.

I thought you'd want to come
along, since it's your case.

Yes, I do.

Okay.

We'll pick you up
in 15 minutes.

We know this is hard for you,
Mrs. Grossi.

Now...

We'd like to ask you about
your husband's movements.

Dates...

The days he wasn't home.

That's her.
That's her, isn't it?

Excuse me?

I saw her picture
in the papers and on TV.

Mrs. Grossi...

Uh, this is Inspector Manni,

one of our best officers.

She's been working
on the case

and has every right
to be here.

I'm not answering
any questions in front of her.

Would you like
to reconsider that?

Sorry, it's out of
the question.

Now...

from the beginning.

Bear with me, Mrs. Grossi.

I'd like to know exactly
where and when

you last saw your husband.

I feel myself changing.

My friend Betty
says I'm crazy.

Why do you continue
to use the word, "crazy."

You know what
I thought yesterday?

I thought my real name
Was Louise,.

Louise.

Do you like Louise?

You're amazing...

You never say anything.

I read a really interesting
story on the way here.

There's this judge...

...Sitting on a river bank.

A traveler asks him,

"May I use this boat?"

And he says,
"Sure, it's mine."

So the traveler pushes
the boat into the water.

But it sinks.

And he drowns.

A man who was watching
shouts at the judge,

"But why didn't you warn him

that the boat
had a hole in it?"

And the great judge replies,

"The question of the boat's
condition was not raised.”

I know you're suffering,

but the things that happened
take time.

I don't have time.

He might appear
at any moment.

He's dead, Anna.

Yeah?

Who says so, you?

Did they find the body?

No.

I can sense...

...that he's still
thinking about me.

That he wants me.

That he still exists.

Anyway, thanks to you,

I've recovered
from one thing,

the Stendhal syndrome.

Paintings don't
obsess me anymore.

On the contrary.

Don't look at it.

He left his mark on me.

They say that after two years
and, and four operations

the scar will disappear.

Do you think it will?

Aiy!

Aiy-yai!

Oh, sorry.

Are you interested
a lot in art?

Yes.

You, too?

Oh, very much, yes.

I studied fine arts
two years here.

Really?

Oh!
- Un second !

I'll get it for you.

No...

No?

Well, okay, thanks.

- Oh...

My name is, uh, Marie.

Hi.

Marie?

Yes, Marie.
I'm French.

But...

I thought that Marie
Was a woman's name.

Well, in French
it isn't so exact.

It can be a man or a woman.

Oh.

Do you have a... voiture?

You mean a car?

Yes.

No, I don't.

Then, if you like,
I can give you a ride on my French scooter.

Okay.
- Okay?

My name is Anna.

It's a plaisir to meet you,
too, Marie.

No, Ma-rie.

Ma-rie.
- Voila.

Marie.
- Ma-rie.

I love art, too.

What made you come to Italy
to study art?

Oh, the renaissance...

Rinascimento, the baroque,

Raffaello, Michelangelo,

Masaccio, Simone Martini,

Titian, Giorgione,
Botticelli, Rosso Fiorentino,

Caravaggio,
Leonardo da Vinci,

Mantegna, Tintoretto,

Cosimo Tura, Paolo Uccello,
Il Pontormo,

Beato Angelico,

Wiligelmo,
Giacomo Della Porta,

Piero della Francesca.

He thinks I'm a law student.

Anna, why didn't you tell him
that you were a policewoman?

I don't know.

What do you like about him?

Well...

First of all,
that he isn't a cop.

Have you thought about
how you met him?

Yes.

I was looking
at some paintings.

Like Alfredo.

But it's not the same thing.

You know it isn't.

I thought I'd turned into
an arid...

...mediocre person.

And then I met a very sweet,
French boy

who made me smile.

I thought you'd be
pleased to know

something...

that I laughed, too.

Here, try this.

My mother sent it
from France.

What is it?

Why do you ask?
Don't you trust me?

It's foie gras.

What?

Goose liver.

It's really good.

It's really...

Mmm-hmm.
- ...tasty.

Oui.

I've always hated liver.

Tout va bien.

Wait, don't move.

Let me do it.

No, let me do it.

Anything new?
- No, nothing.

Anna?
- She's home.

Okay, you guys can go.

I'll be here until
three or four, okay?

Okay.

Hello.

Hello?

Hello, who's there?

Marco!

There was someone
in the street over there.

It looked like Alfredo.

I've been here for hours.
I haven't seen anyone.

Nobody who looked like him,
that's for sure.

Come on.

I'll come home with you...

so you can relax.

But...

Oh...
- It's okay.

Let's go.

Come on!

It's kind of funny
sitting here.

Having all this freaky art
looking down at you.

Please...

It's not true.

Marco!

No...

No, don't say that!

Marco!

No, leave him alone.

Please...

No, he's got nothing to do
with all this.

No...

You mustn't touch him.

Marco!

Hello.

Hello!

If it's happening in the world of sports,

Fuck!
- ...then we've got your ticket

to the latest
scores and highlights

plus in depth interviews...

It was him.

We'll tap your phone.

Right away. Don't worry.

What did he say?

He said...

Anna...

What did he tell you?

He said he knows
I've been with Marie.

Who's she?

No, I mean...

Marie.

He's a boy.

A friend of mine from France.

He said...

he knows we're in love...

...that we make love...

...and he's very jealous.

He said he's gonna
teach him a lesson.

Doesn't sound like him.

It's not his way of operating.

He's not interested in men.

He said...

"I'm very jealous of him...

and I'm going to teach him
a lesson once and for all."

Hello?

Yes, Marie Beyle, please.

Okay, then tell him
that Anna called...

and to call her back
as soon as he comes in.

Okay, thank you.

Hello?
- Hello?

It's Marie here.

Are you all right?

Tell me you're okay.

Of course, I'm okay.

Marco, you can hang up now.

I've missed you so much.

Me too, Anna.
I missed you, too.

All I do is think of you.

I know it's stupid,
but I can't stop.

I'm always
thinking about you.

Your mouth, your hands.
- Me too, Anna.

I love you.

If anything happened to you,
I think I'd die.

What? What are you saying?

Hello?

I'm here Anna.

So, when will you
finish your project?

Uh, in half an hour?

Okay.

Wait for me.

I'll meet you there.
- Okay.

I want to make love to you.

Me too. Bye.

Marco...

I'm gonna take a bath.
- Okay.

It's closed.

Sorry, it's closed for today.

I'm looking for Marie Beyle.

Marie? Never heard of her.

Him. He's a man.

He works here
as a research assistant.

Is that so?

And who might you be?

Now get your fucking
walkie-talkie out

and find him
before you lose your job!

Okay.

- Oh, Anna

Excuse me.

Hi.
- Hi.

We're finished, okay?

I just need
a few more minutes.

Okay.

How many minutes?
- Oh, just a few.

I have to put away the models
and canvases, so, uh...

Can you wait downstairs?
You can't stay here.

Okay, I'll wait for you
downstairs.

Okay.

What is it? Hmm?

Nothing.

Um, it's just that...

It's just that there are
some things I didn't tell you.

Okay, later then.
- Okay.

Yeah...

No, but promise me...

that you'll come down
as soon as you're finished.

Yes, I'll come
straight to you.

Bye.
- Bye.

Who is it?

Professor?

Professor!

Is anybody in there?

Tell me what to do.
Should I lock the doors?

Yes, there's a body in there!

Let me go!
- Wait!

Let me go!
- Wait!

You can't go in there!

No! No! No!

Let me go! Let me go!

Let me go!

Let go of her!

Let her go!
- Let me go!

Marie! Marie!

Marie! Marie!

- Anna... Anna...

Don't touch him.

Anna...

Listen...

Don't touch him.

Marie...

Anna.

Anna, it's me.

Who called him?

My son talked of you so much!

He used to call you...

"My marvelous little Anna!"

Come on, Marco.

Come on.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Everything scares me.

There are some things
I want to talk to you about.

Do you have time?

Yes.

He'll never give up.

Will he?

He's the kind of murderer who
only stops when he's caught...

or killed.

That's what a lot of people
are hoping will happen.

Anyway...

...the important thing
is for you to understand

that he's not infallible.

He can be caught.

After all, he's just a man.

You know that
he's just a man.

He'll never
let himself be caught.

How can you... be so sure?

Because...

Because he knows.

Because he knows what?

Everything.

Every fucking thing.

But how could he, Anna?

How could he know everything?

What's the hold up?

Bring it over here.

Come on, come on,
hurry up, guys, let's go.

Judging by its state
from over here,

I'd say he's been
in the water

for at least three weeks.

Maybe more.

Roberto!

Yes, sir?

How was he
supposed to be dressed?

According to the composite,

blue trousers, white t-shirt,
and black socks.

Okay.

Mario! Mario!

I want to see you up there.

Officer... officer... officer...

Okay, we're done.
- What did I tell you??

It's a real maze of canals.

The body was probably
knocked through one conduit

after another.

I told you...

...speculation.

You say you should
have realized

he wouldn't let you have him.

Have who?

Marie.

Alfredo doesn't want me
to have anybody else.

Which means you're his
and no one else's.

Why do you say that?

You said,
"he knows everything."

Are you sure?

Yes.

At least,
he knows everything about me.

Just a moment.

Think of what you just said.

"He knows everything
about me."

Do you really believe that?

Believe it?

I know it.

And you believe that he knows you
better than you know yourself.

Is that what you think?

What I think
is that you should leave.

Now! Please go!

Why do you want
me to leave, Anna?

Hi, this is Anna.

Leave me a message,
and I'll call you back

as soon as I can.

Thank you.

Anna, it's Marco.

We found Alfredo.

We just hauled his body
out of the canal.

It's been in the water
for three weeks.

Do you know what that means?

There's another lunatic
running around, an imitator.

Call me as soon as
you hear this.

That's no surprise, is it?

We knew that Alfredo
was dead.

And that it wasn't him
who killed Marie.

What are you getting at?

It's the moment
of truth, Anna.

The time has come
to shake off the lies...

like you take a winter coat off
when summer comes.

Right, Manetti...

a minimum of three weeks.

There's no doubt, Chief,
it's him.

Her police escort?

Why isn't there one at night?

I called her,
but there's no answer.

Yes, I'm on my way there, now.

I'll stay tonight.

Christ, where were you?

Here.

I called you over and over.

Maybe I was in the bathroom.

Didn't you get my message?

This afternoon, they found
Alfredo Grossi's body...

in the canal.

So?

So...

Why don't you let me in?

Why should I?

Don't you realize he's dead?

It wasn't--

...Alfredo.

No! No! No!

My God...

He forced his way in here...

He was saying crazy things,
he made no sense.

And then... And then he tried...
he wanted to rape me.

He tried to do
the same thing Alfredo did.

It was him, Marco.

He killed Marie.

He was the only one
who knew everything...

Because I told him.

Why didn't you call us?

But don't you understand?

He killed Marie
out of jealousy.

He didn't want me
to love anybody else.

Why didn't you call me?

Anna.

I don't believe it.
I mean, I just don't.

What?

What don't you believe?

That the doctor
wanted to rape you...

and that he killed Marie.

What do you believe then?

Anna...

I don't think you
understand right now, okay?

The body you found
isn't Alfredo.

It isn't him.

It was definitely him, Anna.

No, it isn't Alfredo.

What are you talking about?

Because I know where he is.

Where is he?

He's inside of me.

I've become him.

He's like an affliction...
a cancer...

that grows bigger every day.

Every day, his presence
inside me gets stronger.

Why didn't you realize...?

Why didn't you help me?

Why didn't you stop me?

Before I killed him...

...before I killed Marie.

He forced his way into me...

...and now I can't
get rid of him.

Anna.

Anna, listen.

You have to help me
get rid of him...

...because he won't stop.

He controls me.

H-he orders me
to do horrible things.

Like killing Marie...

...and my doctor.

Okay. Relax. Calm down.

Listen...

I have to take you somewhere.

No!

No...

Don't worry.

A place where
they'll help you.

Where's your gun?

My gun.

Yes, where is it, Anna?

Why...

...do you need it?

It will help us.

Okay...

...then come with me.

He loves paintings.

Maybe that's why
he likes to be inside of me.

Because I love art, too.

It's in here.

I'll get it.

Do you recognize me now?

It's me, Alfredo.

Spread out and check the whole street.

Hurry up!

I told you
I wasn't dead, but...

...but you didn't believe me.

I have to remember to fix
everything before I leave.

Everything must be in order.

Oh, that's very important.

I have 10 go to Dad's
on Wednesday.

Yes, yes,
I mustn't forget that.

It's really important.

And then, I have to pick up
the clothes

at the dry cleaners, yes.

That's very, very...
that's very important, yes.

No, that's the first thing.

And the second, the,
the second, the second,

the clothes
at the dry cleaners.

Yes, yes, that's important.

No, no.

Where do I go from here?

Where?

Get her!

But don't shoot!

Don't you dare shoot.

It's Anna.

Don't you dare!

Okay. Okay.

I think I did everything.

Yes, at least I did
what I had to.

No...

M-maybe if I stop here
t-to rest a little...

Maybe they won't bother me.
Maybe they won't see me.

No, no, no, no. I better not.

No, I better not.

I'm so tired.

I need to be alone.

So people won't bother me.
- Hey, stop!

I'll be much happier.
- Wait!

Wait! Wait!

What are you doing
with that gun?

You want to shoot me?
- Where are you going?

Where are you going, Anna?
- Huh? You wanna shoot me?

Calm down!
- Kill me!

You want to kill me?

Calm down! Take it easy!

Let me go! Let me go!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Don't be afraid.

We won't hurt you.

Anna, it's no problem.

It's not your fault, Anna.

Ju-just trust me.

Trust me, please.

Yes, Anna, yes.

Okay, that's it.

Easy, easy, easy.
- It's okay.

That's it.

There we go.

All right, all right.
It's okay, it's no problem.

Relax.

- Relax now.
- Just take it easy.

Don't worry.
