(COUGH)
(David) Enough!
Ah!
It just is!
(MUSICA DANCE)
(Boy) Happy birthday, Davide!
(VOICE INAUDIBLE)
- I'll be right back! - Huh?
I'll be right back!
But who is he?
Who are you?
Sometimes you meet the wrong people.
Tonight it was your turn.
No!
Help!
Ah! Stop! Help! Help!
Help!
Ah! Stop! Help!
Help! Please help! Help me!
(Man, whispering) Batiza. Come on, Batiza. - Who is it? - Batiza.
- Who's there? - Ah!
Ah!
I promised you I would find it.
You had to wait a long time.
But now we're here.
- Legionnaire is dead. - I'll take care of this piece of shit.
(Boss) Wait!
He earned the right to live a little longer.
I want to see how long it lasts.
He killed Legionnaire.
It cost me a lot of money, I have to make up for it somehow.
Take him away!
It's all yours, Minute.
Listen to me carefully.
Your life, your life before,
it's over, it won't come back again.
You're worse than a dog now. That's your condition.
If you want to live, you will do what you are told.
No questions asked.
The boy?
He will survive.
- I can't coach him, it's not fair. - I know it's not easy for you.
Since that night I've been there only for you.
I'm sorry, but only you can make it the way we need it to be.
Things were supposed to go differently, you promised me.
You asked me to find it and I did.
Now it's my thing, I decide.
You are mine too, never forget it.
Did you understand?
Think about it carefully.
What awaits him is far worse than death.
You have to eat, okay?
My parents will be looking for me. We can pay.
Since you can stand, wash yourself. You're disgusting, you stink.
Who was the man in the truck?
What's up?
Why? I didn't do anything!
I didn't do anything!
Just do what I tell you, okay?
Ah!
Did you want to know who you killed?
One of them.
Now we will truly understand how much you are worth.
Do I have to fight again?
I'll teach you what it takes to face a match.
You better learn quickly. There are no rules.
They fight with bare hands. Whoever loses, dies.
Must I kill?
- Only if you don't want to die. - No, I can't.
You already did.
No, I...
We are all capable of killing, of doing terrible things.
You are no different.
No, I didn't want to.
You forced me.
If you don't fight, you're of no use to us.
It's not up to me to find you a reason to keep going.
Understood?
Let's see how you throw punches.
Puma!
Left-right combination. Go.
It just is.
Again.
It just is.
You can't stand up straight. Spread your legs and find your balance.
You don't move from here until you learn.
(Minute) On guard.
- How much did it hurt on a scale of one to ten? - Ten, damn it.
It wasn't even a three, you faggot.
Listen to your body, learn to count the pain.
You will know where to hit your opponent and hurt him the most.
On guard.
(DAVID COUGHS) On your guard.
Enough, damn it. Enough.
On guard.
Do you think you're smart?
Do you think you can escape?
Try it, faggot.
In my opinion, you make a good target.
- Do you know where we are? - No.
And I don't want to know.
- What the fuck do I have to do with any of this? Why am I here? - What?
You killed Legionnaire. What did you expect?
Why me? Why that truck thing?
It was his training. They do it every now and then.
They pick someone at random and throw them in the truck with one of us inside.
How the fuck did you get out of there alive?
You're a real fucking miracle.
You're lucky I wasn't in there with you.
Puma, Fester, Zulu. Fight tomorrow night.
Go on, like this.
Let's see how long you can last underwater.
Have a good bath, little faggot.
You have to stay clear-headed.
Control your breathing.
Again.
- That's fine. I'll get back to you. - At your disposal.
Shh!
It's not worth it for you.
How did you end up here?
I had a huge debt.
If you help me escape, I'll find the money for you.
- Are you giving them to me? - Yes.
My father is rich.
- Really? - Yes.
-Shall we go talk about it? -Yes.
Do you think you're smarter than us?
You still don't understand who we're dealing with.
We are the walking dead.
You should make a will.
It's a shame you have nothing left to leave.
Ah...
- Fuck you. - (Minute) Hey!
Break is over.
(Puma) Again.
- Why can't I be with others? - Because I trust others, but not you.
Can I call my parents?
- Just to tell them I'm alive. - No. The sooner you accept me, the better.
Break.
What do you do when you're not here?
Why do you ask me?
I'm just trying to imagine what kind of life you lead.
And what do you imagine?
Are you married?
I have been.
You don't have children, do you?
Do you think we'll become friends?
You're a dog like all the others.
I don't even know if you'll be able to make money out of it.
Relax. I know my life means nothing to you.
I just wanted to talk.
End of break.
- Fight tonight. Eat everything. - No, wait.
- I'm not ready. I still have to train. - Do what you want. - Wait.
- Do you think I can do it? - You've learned what you need to.
(Puma) Oh.
There are a lot of people here tonight.
Let her have fun.
Let me know how it ends right away.
I'm curious.
We need a name for betting. You can't fight under your real name.
Baptize.
What does it mean?
I do not know.
The name is yours.
I saw your opponent fight. He's strong, but slow.
(Minute) Baptize.
I don't want to die.
Nobody wants to die.
1 and 50.
- Go! - Go!
Finish it.
Either you kill me or I kill you.
(RANTOLI)
Zitto... Zitto...
Please. Shut up.
- (Boss) Problems? - (Minute) All solved.
When will the boy be able to fight again?
The wounds are healing.
- The doctor says it will take a couple of weeks. - Good.
Ah, Minute...
Are you still convinced that I wronged you by letting him live?
We will see each other.
Anyway, I'm glad you made it too.
I don't know if I can do it again.
Sooner or later it passes, you get used to everything.
We must move on.
And then I don't want to remain a minor dog forever.
What does it mean?
That there are fights for us and those for the bigger dogs,
like Fester and Zulu.
These are the most dangerous matches, but that's where the big stakes are.
-If I were to become one too, I would pay my debt faster. -Ah.
What did you do before?
I did a little bit of everything, but the hassle was too much
and I started pushing stuff around.
I had a lot of cool clients like you.
For a while, things went well for me.
Lots of money, nice car, nice clothes.
My girlfriend and I also wanted a child.
And then?
And then I wanted too much. I wanted to take it all.
I bet you were studying, instead.
- A beautiful life prepared by Mom and Dad. - Yes.
- Oh! - Oh!
Stopped!
- Oh! - Oh!
(Minute) Hey!
And what do you know about Minuto? Why do they call him that?
Because you didn't last long with him.
He was the strongest of all.
It still is.
Do you like it?
You can go.
- All cameras will have to be turned off. - Of course.
I'll stay there later.
Come on!
(Priest) I confess to Almighty God.
And to you, brothers, who have sinned too much by thinking,
in word, deed and omissions, my fault, my fault, my greatest fault.
Therefore I pray to the blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the Angels and Saints.
And you, brothers, pray for me to the Lord our God.
May the Almighty have mercy on us...
Almighty God, and having forgiven our sins,
May it lead us to eternal life.
Who is?
Please call the police.
- They kidnapped me. My name is Davide Bergamaschi. - All right.
- Calm down, who kidnapped you? - I don't know, please. Call the police.
- All right. You're safe now. - Yes.
- I'll pick up the phone now and call for help. - Thanks.
- Wait here, don't move. - Yes, thank you.
May Almighty God have mercy on us.
and, having forgiven our sins, may He lead us to eternal life.
Amen.
I confess to Almighty God and to you, brothers, that I have sinned greatly by thinking,
in word, deed and omissions, my fault, my fault, my greatest fault.
Therefore I pray to the blessed Mary, ever Virgin, all the Angels and Saints.
And you, brothers, pray for me to the Lord our God.
May Almighty God have mercy on us and, having forgiven our sins, lead us...
You won't go away like this.
- Now we're even. - For now.
Fight again tomorrow.
I swear I'll kill you. You piece of shit, I'll kill you, understand?
Think about coming back alive tomorrow.
I'll be back tomorrow! Do you understand?
Piece of shit! I'll be back tomorrow, understand? Piece of shit, I'm coming back!
I'm coming back... Piece of shit...
(SONG: "TERRITORY" BY THE BLAZE)
Yes!
Come on!
(OVERLAPING VOCI)
(together) Puma! Puma! Puma! Puma! Puma! Puma! Puma!
- Yes! - Yes!
(insieme) Baptize! Baptize! Baptize! Baptize! Baptize! Baptize! Baptize!
You made me call, what's up?
I think today is my birthday.
And why should I care?
I do not know.
Congratulations.
Everyone else is talking about you.
I was worried. How are you?
I peed blood for a few days, but I'm better now.
Well.
What does Minute say?
Minuto knows nothing and must know nothing.
And why?
They promoted me to senior dog.
I have the chance to repay my debt and finally leave.
Two or three meetings are enough for me.
- Do you understand? - No.
We have to tell Minuto. You can't fight like this.
- No. - Yes.
Promise me you won't say anything.
Please.
I'm going to train.
Puma...
Ah!
No no!
No!
Let go of me! Stop! Let go of me!
No!
(VOICE INAUDIBLE)
You shouldn't have gotten attached.
You knew it would happen sooner or later.
He told me he was almost gone.
He never had a chance.
- Nobody has it. - You did it, though.
Are you sure?
I don't even know what his real name was.
Andrea.
Get ready. It's your turn soon.
(DAVID CRIES)
Let's stay here.
Have you ever been in prison?
It happened, yes.
Is it like here?
All prisons are the same.
The difference is how long it takes you to adapt.
I met people
that they wouldn't be able to live anywhere else and they know it.
And here it's the same thing.
Before I finished here, I did something horrible.
But then I convinced myself that it hadn't really happened.
I continued with my life as usual,
but what I did had consequences.
What did you do?
I hurt someone and they didn't deserve it.
Did you kill her?
No...
No, not me.
But if I had done differently, maybe she would still be alive now.
I deserve to be here. I deserve all of this.
(SONG: "AVE MARIA" BY SCHUBERT)
You have learned to count the pain.
You were good tonight.
I don't feel anything anymore. I don't even remember what I was like before.
It doesn't matter.
In the end, you always become what you were meant to become.
And what have I become?
- You know this. - And you?
Have you become what you were meant to be?
They are much worse.
Let's go.
I want to move up among the big dogs.
- You're not ready yet. - I have to avenge Puma.
Let me fight Sisma. I can do it.
You can't. And even if you could, it wouldn't make you feel any better.
And what do you know about it?
I said no.
(SONG: "AVE MARIA" BY SCHUBERT)
Minuto won't be happy about it.
You made a mistake! It's a mistake!
I'm sorry, but that's what I've decided.
The meeting is now organized.
- There's already a lot of money in there. - He doesn't have enough experience.
But it is the most requested.
And then, so far, he's always been able to amaze us. He reminds me of you.
As you reminded me of me, that's why I chose you.
You never lost your head in the face of death.
- The earthquake is too strong. - So what?
Isn't this what you wanted?
You think you're smarter than me, don't you?
- No. - Yes, indeed.
You think you've got me and now you can't back out.
- I know. - No, you don't know shit! You're going to die!
You want to do it like this? Do it like this.
But this time you can handle it on your own.
- You have to help me. - I don't owe you anything.
Or.
Ah!
(together) Earthquake! Earthquake!
(SPARl)
Thank you.
What are we doing here?
You're free, go home.
And you?
This doesn't concern you.
I cannot.
After everything that's happened, they're safer without me.
And then they're waiting for a child who is no longer there.
Take me with you.
No, you can't come with me.
Look at me.
- Where should I go? - It would be wrong to come with me.
Get off.
- Come down. - Don't leave me alone.
I beg you.
- Tobacco. - Thanks for remembering.
How did it go at work?
Good. I don't trust anyone, like you said. You?
Everything normal.
Do you ever think about before?
- Sometimes. - Would you do it again?
What?
Lose everything to save myself.
Would you do it again?
I don't know, but I've done it now.
Wash your hands and set the table. We'll be eating soon.
Thanks. Bye, see you tomorrow.
Hi. That blue tobacco and the papers, please.
7,80 euro.
Thank you.
Thanks. Bye, see you tomorrow.
- Bye bye.
A small lager, right?
- Right. - Coming soon.
Here it is.
- Thank you. - You have beautiful hands.
That's a compliment.
I mean, you look like you know how to fix things.
I haven't fixed much so far.
- And you, how are you doing? - I'm also better at causing damage.
- Then it's better to stay away from you. - No, I have some qualities.
I don't know, I don't know you.
Eva. Now you know me.
I am Andrea.
- Nice to meet you, Andrea. - Nice to meet you, Eva.
We will see each other.
I need you tomorrow too.
A few days ago I met a girl.
The answer is no.
- I didn't ask you anything. - You can't go out. It's dangerous.
They're still looking for us.
- When will I return to a normal life? - It's still too early.
Will they leave us alone sooner or later or not?
No, I don't think so.
HI.
- Are you surprised? - Not at all.
You forgot to ask me for my number.
Are you staying here or sitting outside?
I'm here.
We recently moved and are looking for the right place to stay.
Maybe this time you found it.
Maybe yes.
You?
I'm fine here.
- Do you like what you do? - Yes, it's only temporary.
Do you like your job?
It's a job like any other.
That's fine for now.
And if you could choose, what would you do?
I don't know. It's been a while since I thought about it.
- Oh well, there must be something you can do. - Nothing useful.
- I don't believe it. - No, it's like that.
Why do you always wear a hood?
Did you have fun last night?
Six months have passed and no one has contacted us.
- What do you know? - I didn't tell her anything.
I just work.
Should I do what you do? Shut in the house all day?
But at least you're alive, right? You just have to follow the rules.
- But I'm not like you. - No.
In fact, you haven't learned anything.
You finally took me out of one prison and put me in another.
Do as you please.
- Hmm? - Well.
I'm careful.
Beautiful, isn't it?
Andrea?
Everything OK?
No, not really. Sorry.
Cow. Cow.
What happens?
- Nothing. - What's up?
What's up?
I want to make love to you.
- You don't know me. - Then talk to me.
Tell me.
I just want to wait a little longer.
All right?
All right.
(Minute) Like this. See?
Try it yourself.
Now we just have to wait.
It's just that I'm not very patient.
Neither was I.
Patience is learned late.
When your time is almost up.
You have all the time you want, right?
I think I'm in love.
I was thinking of introducing you to her...
To invite her to dinner at our place.
It seems weirder if I hide you, doesn't it?
Why is it so important?
- Because I told her about you. - And what did you tell her?
That you are my father.
- What was Andrea like as a child? - No, come on. I'm embarrassed.
Instead, yes, you never tell me anything.
He was lively.
The first time it made me seriously worried...
He must have been three years old...
It was one of the weekends he was staying at my place.
His mother and I had recently separated.
He loved books so much
and kept asking me to read them to him.
It's a passion he still has.
We were at my house, I read him a story and we fell asleep on the couch.
At some point, he wakes up...
He is thirsty and, since he was very independent,
he decides not to wake me up and drink alone.
Unfortunately, he finds a bottle of painkiller and drinks it all down.
I don't even know how I made it to the hospital without crashing.
We were there, the doctors were preparing an emergency gastric lavage
and I notice that he had two different colored shoes.
I must have slipped them on when I was rushing out of the house.
He was on the bed, he looks at me, he sees that I'm looking at his shoes...
He bursts out laughing and says...
"Belle!"
Since then, when she was dating me,
he always wanted to wear different colored shoes.
That time everything ended well.
She's a good girl.
Are you here?
Eva is a good girl.
Oh, yes.
You don't have to make her suffer.
I would never do that.
Promise me.
Who were you talking about earlier at dinner?
Promise me.
I promise you.
Good night, David.
- Now are you going to tell me where we are or not? - Come on.
Come in.
- Is it yours? - Isn't it beautiful?
My parents helped me.
It had been closed for years and next summer I would like to reopen it...
and refurbish it.
I imagine it full of people having fun, laughing...
Then I thought that...
that you could help me.
Meaning what...
I'd like to do it with you.
If you leave.
Are you sure?
I do.
It's true. It's beautiful.
So is that a yes?
Yes.
(SONG: "I LOVE YOU" BY BILLIE EILISH)
Listen, what if I started working at the kiosk tomorrow?
- There's a lot of work to do. - Yes. Okay. - Okay.
But I can only reach you in the afternoon because I'm at the bar.
Ok.
- Bye bye.
(DOG GROWLING) (Man) I'll kill you, you piece of shit!
I'll kill you! Don't move! (YELLING DOG)
- Stay down! - Excuse me?
Leave him alone.
What the fuck do you want? The dog is mine and I can do whatever I want.
Stay calm.
Piece of shit.
(SIRENS)
- I screwed up. - What happened?
There was a fight with someone. I think I killed him.
- Did anyone see you? - No, I don't know.
We have to move again.
No.
- We have no choice. - No, I'm not leaving Eva. I'm not leaving her!
We will find a solution.
What the fuck are you talking about?
It's your fault I became this way. It's your fault.
- Damn! - Keep your voice down!
I don't give a shit if they hear us! It's your fault I'm a monster!
You made me a monster, you understand?
- You were like this before you met me! - That's not true!
- That's your nature! - It's not true! It's not true!
The girl on the beach!
She was my daughter!
Do you even remember his name? Huh?
Julia.
Her name was Giulia.
How did you forgive me?
I never forgave you.
Then kill me, take revenge.
You didn't understand anything.
When I took you away, I didn't want to save you.
I wanted to save myself.
I tried to be better than I've always been.
But I didn't make it.
Don't look for me anymore.
(DANCE MUSIC FROM THE CONSOLE)
But can you just watch? You've been doing that all night.
You're right, I know... You're just beautiful.
- How boring, you say it to everyone. - No, I only say it when I think it.
- Yes, of course. - Now is it my fault you're beautiful?
Anyway, you're out of luck. I'm leaving.
Sin.
Take it easy.
Go a little slower.
Wait, no! Ah!
- Ouch! No, wait. You're hurting me like that. - Shut up. Shut up.
- No, not like that! - Shut up. Shut up.
No, shut up! Fire! Ahia!
- Enough, ouch! - Stay still. Stay still.
You're hurting me! Enough! Stop!
Wait.
Ouch! Enough!
- Ouch! - I did it. I did it.
- If you want, I'll walk you home. - Fuck you.
As you like.
Clean everything.
(Giulia, crying) Dad, where are you? I've called you so many times.
I know you told me to stay home,
but I went out and went to a beach party.
Dad, come get me. Come quickly, they hurt me.
Dad, please. I need you.
(HORN)
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
Hi, Giulia.
Sorry I never came to visit you.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Your kingdom come and your will be done
as it is in heaven, so it is on earth.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
(Boss) You three stop here.
The biggest mistakes we make are only for our children.
I no longer expected to find you right here.
I missed you, Peter.
- How many years have we known each other? 15 years? - That's 18 years.
18 years old, right.
And I never understood you.
And law?
- Do you think she would have understood you? - She wasn't like us.
You are right.
You were right about the boy from the beginning too.
If I had listened to you, I would never have lost you.
Leaving was the right choice I ever made.
But now you're here.
And I have to punish you.
But you already know this. You know how this story will end.
Do what you have to.
I'm ready.
Not here.
HI.
(VIBRATION FROM CELL PHONE)
- Minute. - Minute is busy now.
He can't talk to you, but he's here with us.
- You mustn't touch it. - That's entirely up to you.
Let me talk to him.
It's too simple.
- You have to come to us if you want to talk to him. - I don't believe you.
Do as you wish. If you want to abandon him, I understand.
I would do it.
- What do you want? - You still owe me a meeting.
Did you forget?
You'd better hurry up and decide.
Andrea?
No! Stop!
Stop, oh! Stop! No!
Where's Minuto? Where's Minuto! Show me!
Answer! Answer! Where's Minuto?
Answer me, you bastard! That wasn't the agreement!
Wait! You promised me! That wasn't the agreement!
Can you hear me? Those weren't the agreements!
What a waste.
I'm not going in there! I'm not going in there, let go of me!
Let go of me! Let go of me! Stop, let go of me!
(SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS)
Minute?
Is that you? (BREATH)
