Betta! You don't remember me, do you? I'm Andrea, I'm your brother.

That's the curse of the Stria.

She's an evil witch who lives in the Nowhere.

She kidnaps children and lures them back there with false promises.

We can use that door to get there, but you'll need the keys to open it.

-What can we do then? -The Stria is always talking

about an old game called The Knights of Castelcorvo.

Try to find it, it's important.

It's the castle! That has to be where we start.

-Where are the pieces? -I want to find my brother

and bring him back home, whatever the cost is.

Hey, Aldo!

How about you give them their bikes back, and you get back your phone?

-Do you know who he is? -I sense an incoming crush.

If you want, you could give me your phone number or something.

Perhaps these four are the real chosen ones.

Just remember, nothing is more important than finding the keys.

I won't let you down, Mother.

The answer's pretty clear, it's bottom of the fountain.

-Yes! It's the key, we found it. -Yes, it's the key!

We shouldn't open up that door

until we have the Evening Key here with us.

We'll keep the key safe in here.

"Counting elephants leaves lazy alligators restless,

"if you wish to continue on your way,

"with their heads you have to play."

THE KNIGHTS OF CASTELCORVO

Hello.

The weather is really nice today.

What's that?

I was saying this is perfect weather for meeting someone.

It's cloudy actually.

My name's Zeno.

-And your name is? -Marta.

Marta.

Very nice to meet you.

You, too.

Will you do me a favor?

-Sure. -Let me borrow your cell phone.

I'll give it back in a few hours.

Wait, Zeno... the pin.

-The pin? -Yes.

It's 5-9-7-2.

-Now, it's unlocked.

-Thanks. I'll see you later then. -See you later.

"Counting elephants leaves lazy alligators restless,

"if you wish to continue on your way, with their heads you have to play."

-You have any ideas? -Ever since we got this riddle,

I've been racking my brain for an answer,

but I haven't been able to think of anything.

Riccardo?

Who? Me? Why do I have to solve the riddles every single time?

What? You're not the only one solving them and certainly not alone.

-Huh? Oh, no? -No.

Come on, you guys, don't. This isn't helping us.

Well, I have no idea. I'm bored to death.

UNKNOWN NUMBER NEW MESSAGE

My brain needs something fun to do right now.

There are lots of fun things to do around here.

HI MYSTERIOUS GIRL. UP FOR A JUICE? ZENO

I'm talking about things like bowling or arcade, theme parks.

HI MYSTERIOUS BOY. A JUICE WHEN?

Hey, listen. I think, I've got an answer for your problem.

You should come over to my place now. My dad built a new game out in the garden.

-A game in the garden? -Yeah. And you're all invited.

-I don't know. Giulia? -Yeah?

-What do you think? -About what?

Should we go to Matteo's?

You can go if you want, but first I'm gonna stop by the cafe.

Man, that's a great idea. I'm a little hungry myself.

Maybe we should all swing by the cafe before Matteo's.

-Perfect. -Yeah, sure. Why not?

Okay. Fine with me. Let's go.

Okay.

-It was a great idea to come here. -So, how do elephants make...

-We needed it. -...alligators restless?

-There you go. -Well, maybe...

Thank you.

-This one's for Betta. -Thank you.

And a strawberry shake as usual for Matteo.

Thanks, Gianni.

What's up?

You were the one that wanted to come here, but didn't get anything.

I guess I'm not really thirsty anymore.

That's it? I'm officially out of ideas.

This riddle is impossible.

Careful with that. Give me the card.

-Hi. -Hey.

-Everybody's here. -Um... Yeah.

Hi. I'm Zeno.

-Betta. -Riccardo.

Matteo.

Oh, I get it now.

I've deduced it wasn't a coincidence you wanted to come here, Giulia.

I think you should concentrate on deducing an answer to our riddle.

Huh? A riddle?

What riddle is that?

-Is it about that card right there? -Hey, what's with all the questions?

Betta, don't.

-It's all right, Giulia. -I'm sorry about that.

Believe it or not, I like tough girls.

Tough. Isn't that a little...

You seem to be pretty smart.

I bet riddles are no problem for you.

Well, this one's really hard for...

And I suppose you're the funny one.

So, tell me, what were you saying about a riddle?

It's... It's for a game. It's kind of special.

I like special games, good.

-So, tell me more. -Well, the board is...

it's a miniature version of Castelcorvo.

-There are two keys we're looking for. -It's like a video game.

Every time we finish a level, the game lets us progress.

Would you like to come over later? We can show how it works.

Yeah. I would love that.

But only if everybody's okay with it.

-I'm okay with it. -Okay by me.

Okay with me.

Well, okay then. Great. See you guys later.

Okay then. I guess I'll send you a text message with the address.

-Sounds good. -But...

-- Bye. -- Bye, Zeno.

-Uh... -Guys, what just happened?

Why did we do that just now?

Why did we tell him about the game?

No idea. He just looked at me and then...

-You trust him, right? -Exactly.

That's how it felt, but we don't know we can really trust him yet, do we?

Well, I think we can. He seems like a nice guy.

Okay. But you all need to tell me one thing.

Are you or are you not coming

-to my house to play?

-Yes, we're coming. -Uh… Sorry, Mateo.

Thanks for inviting me. But, I have some homework

-I should be doing. -Okay. But Riccardo and I are coming.

-Yeah. -Okay. You guys are gonna love it.

Tada!

So this is it?

-We're here to play bocce?

Exactly. And we'll be able to play here as long as we want.

Nice.

I can throw the Jack.

Who's going next?

-Okay. Here I go.

Nice toss, Betta. Now, Riccardo, let's see what you got.

-Is anything more boring than this? -Nothing that I can think of right now.

Brava. Nice toss.

-You must play a lot. -Matteo!

Are you here to show your friends our new court?

-Sure am, Dad. -That's Great.

Be careful or you might find yourself playing with the champion.

You're gonna join us?

I'd love to, but I'm afraid it's getting late.

A flock of woodcocks flies over us at this time every day.

And I simply must be there to photograph them all.

Well, have some fun kids.

And Matteo... you remember to throw that ball just like I taught you.

-The special toss? -MATTEO'The special toss.

Oh, look. They're coming now.

No!

-Oh, no. My dad is gonna kill me.

Stop laughing. It's not funny.

-One letter goes down.

"With the heads you have to play." You're genius, Matteo.

-What do you mean? -We were thinking all wrong.

-Look, the heads are the letters. -What's that?

Look, we tried to find meaning in the words,

but the answer was on the cards. Just look at the card.

"Counting elephants leaves lazy alligators restless."

If we take the first letter of every word, C-E-L-L-A-R,

if we put the first letters of each word together, it spells cellar.

The game is telling us to look in Aunt Margarita's cellar.

-That's where we should go next. -Yes, we're ready.

No way, we can't. We have to stay here and repair the sign.

We'll do that later, Matteo.

-No, come back! -Hurry up!

Oh, my dad is seriously gonna kill me.

Coming.

-Hello there. -Hello?

-You are? -I'm Zeno.

Zeno, of course. Now I understand the new clothes and makeup.

-Come on in. I'll show you the way. -Thank you.

Auntie, one minute, I'm...

Zeno.

-Uh... -Hello?

Hi. Uh... I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was so late.

-It's all right.

This is a nice room.

Thank you.

Is this the game?

Yes. Um, that's the... the game. It's very mysterious

and we haven't mentioned it to anybody.

Well, besides you, of course.

Um... Since we're waiting for the others, would you like some...

Something to drink perhaps, you know?

Um... I think there's fruit juice or hot chocolate.

A water. I'll take a water. Thank you.

Okay. I'll just go get it.

-A water. -And a glass please.

Okay.

I bet tall, dark, and handsome is already there.

Yeah. And Giulia's probably making eyes at him.

So, what do you think we'll find when we look in the cellar?

-Huh. I don't know. -Me either.

But like I've said, it's like a videogame.

We beat one level and go on to the next until the final boss.

-The Stria. -Exactly.

Stria or no Stria, I'm saving my brother.

-Here, let's hurry. -Yeah, let's do it.

Here you go.

Hmm.

-What do you think? -Uh, it's great water.

Um... Listen, I don't know where the others are,

but why don't I go ahead and show the game to you?

I just remembered I have to be somewhere.

-And I should probably go. -Oh.

-You do? -I'm sorry.

Why don't you come with me?

We'll take a walk together.

Uh... Okay. Well, let me just, uh, I'll get this... and get this.

Come on. I'll walk you out.

-Hi, Auntie. -Hello.

-Is Zeno here? -Yes. But Giulia just left with him.

-They went for a walk. -Well done, Giulia.

Well, we don't need her anyway.

This place is really creeping me out.

-It's only a cellar, Matteo. -Come on, Matteo.

-You never go in your cellar? -Are you crazy? No!

Oh, great. We could barely see before.

I have something for this.

-Ta-da! A flashlight. -Matteo.

No, that's not a flashlight. This is a flashlight.

Cellphones aren't so useless now, are they, Betta?

That's not a flashlight either.

-Now, this is a flashlight. -Ah! Hey, Betta, stop it.

-Don't. -Come on. We should start looking.

Matteo, that's a stuffed panda.

Uh...

Come and look at this.

-What are we looking at? -It's a box, silly.

A box that happens to have the same symbol from the game.

-- Hold this a sec. -- Okay.

-What's this thing for? -The game will tell us everything.

Just like I said, find the object, unlock the next level.

-Yeah -I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

-Let's hurry. Close the doors behind you. -Thanks.

-Okay, Matteo. Let's go. -Coming.

Wouldn't your sister be mad that we're in her room without her?

She can't be, if this is where we keep the game.

Look, the drawer's open.

-The Morning Key has disappeared. -That can't be.

No, no, no, no. This isn't happening.

Matteo, help us. Check the other drawers.

I have to admit, being in Castlecorvo isn't so bad.

So, do you like it?

Yeah, sure.

I'm not complaining.

Um... So, how'd you end up here?

-Let's just say it wasn't my decision. -Oh, yeah? Just like me.

I mean, it was my dad who was the one who decided.

He never asked us if we wanted to come here.

We had to leave all our things back in the city.

Well, you know how parents are. They never seem to think their kids' stuff

is really ever as important as, well, as their work is.

It's so unfair. Don't you think?

Excuse me. I'm just rambling.

Uh... My brother tells me I do that.

Mm. Tell me more about yourself.

Do you live in town?

No, out of town.

Ah. So, is it far?

Yes, but it's a good thing I like to walk.

-It's time. Now I should be going.

I'll text you, okay?

Oh... okay.

I'll see you very soon then.

Bye, Zeno

It's pointless.

It's gone. That Zeno guy came around and now the key's missing.

What a coincidence.

Before we accuse anyone, let's call Giulia.

What? Now are you in love with him, too?

What are you saying?

It wasn't her idea to invite Zeno over to this house.

That was yours.

Matteo's totally right.

I told everyone he was asking too many questions.

But you said you were okay with him joining us. Don't you remember?

The only person in the world I need

to save right now is my brother, all right?

And if I don't have the Morning Key, I won't be able to.

And if it really was Zeno, then you're the one whose fault it is.

You're just two stupid city kids from out of town.

Hey, why don't we calm down a little bit

and try talking about these things like friends?

Yeah. Good one.

Eventually we'll go.

I'll forget about you and forget about Castlecorvo.

Hey, what's going on? What's with the yelling?

-What's going on? -Huh?

The Morning Key is missing.

That guy took it and you were stupid enough to let him.

What, are you crazy? Zeno didn't do anything.

I have the key here.

You thought I'd leave it here, didn't you?

The key isn't safe here. I'm gonna keep it.

Huh? But why?

It's like your brother said, right?

Why would you care about Castlecorvo, Andrea, or any of us?

Sooner or later you'll leave anyway.

So long, you two.

Hey, we have to stop acting like this right now.

We're the Knights of Castelcorvo.

-We have to stay united. -No, Matteo, we don't.

Because the Knights of Castelcorvo don't exist anymore.

I'll save my brother by myself.

-Maybe if you just apologize to her... -Never. If you want, you can go, too.

I don't care. I don't need you either.

But... I thought we were all a group.

I thought we were all... we were all friends.

We were friends.

My friends are back in the city.

Nice. You've ruined everything.

Of course, no matter what, there's always another level.

"I'm a monster and all I devour. Every bird, fish, fauna, and flower.

"I chew through iron and steel like rust. I turn the hardest stone to dust.

"Many have tried to stop me, but none were prepared.

"So, I'm telling you now no need to despair."

Who even cares?

It's just like Betta said, we're finished.

Because the Knights of Castelcorvo are over.
