Does stress effect
your moments of intimacy...

and create problems?

When you make love,
is it not the way it used to be?

Sandrino!

Sandrino, it's Grandma.

Sandrino! May l?

Sandrino, l've brought you...

- Shall l go inside?
- No, let's wait for the others.

- What are they doing? Go and see.
- Shall l?

- What are they doing? Go and see.
- Shall l?

Go on!

l'm going in.

On the count of three.

One, two, three!

two years later

Thank you, thank you.

Good evening.

We have many guests tonight.

Let me introduce the first:
Vanni Pierini, the poet.

Here to tell us his story:
Nicola Scasi.

Here to present his new book:
Michele Benda.

Antea, the first
no global porn star.

The dress designer Paolo Le Grazie.

And as always, our sonic dervish:
Andreas Ciani!

Professor Benda,
in your book you claim

that Adriano Attili is innocent.
Shall we talk about that?

Yes!

Sonia, this time
l have a different story for you.

ln a world of nasty stories, it's
nice to be able to tell a nice one.

This is the story of Adriano.
He came out of school one day.

He'd got a good mark
and he rushes to tell his father.

He goes to the tobacconist's shop
and finds him dead.

Then Adriano sees his aunt.

She's naked, huge.
She stands in a corner laughing.

She has a serious mental problem.

Adriano loves her, she's like a
second mother. What does Adriano do?

What everyone would do:
he protects her.

He takes the blame,
he says he hates his father.

Adriano is innocent.

As l say in my book,

children are extraordinary creatures.

Amazing.

Now l'll ask you
to take a cigarette lighter.

A flame

of solidarity for Adriano,
victim of his kindness.

Welcome, De Muzzi. You're late.

Forgive me, Sonia.

Today at 5:51 p.m.
your golden-hearted boy

was arrested with a schoolfriend
for raping a caretaker.

His friend confessed

to having taken part
in the tobacconist's murder.

Now let's talk about you,
dear Professor Benda.

You don't have any proof.

Since the day of the tragedy you've
been on TV and radio programmes

merely to offer us a dishonest book?

You are incompetent,

you have stuffed us with crap.

Sonia! Sonia!
You're responsible for all this.

You organized this to get rid of me!

Get out! Get out!

- Why aren't we moving?
- lt's Saturday evening.

Here. l'll walk instead.

Can l have your autograph?

Help! Help!

Only a few metres from here,

Michele Benda, the psychologist
was seen falling to the ground.

Since then all trace of him
has been lost.

Deputy chief Antonio Terraciano
has alerted the border police.

Are you cold?

That won't help.

- lt's new.
- 10 years ago. We have to change it.

Pasquale, it annoys me
when you use the plural.

Say: ''You'll have to change it''.

lf you use the plural, you can
contribute. Anyway, we're broke.

Wait here.

Lucia!

- What are you doing here?
- No, what are you doing here?

l sent you the photos this morning.

Drinking beer at 10 in the morning?

l'm reading. What do you want?

- Who's he? - ltalo.
- A friend of yours?

Yes. Are you jealous?

You heard Michele Benda
has gone missing?

- Read this.
- lt's not my job any more.

Your opinion
is always valuable to me.

- We'll talk about it over dinner.
- Madonna!

You live with the bitch now. She
knotted your tie. You're left-handed.

WHO lS THAT lNCONTlNENT BElNG

THAT FARTY BEAST

HE MAKES SOUNDS WlTH HlS LOWER BELLY

MAKlNG SMELLY CHlLDREN'S SONGS

HOW DlSGUSTlNG, HOW DlSGUSTlNG

HOW DlSGUSTlNG HE lS

THAT FRlENDLY

FARTlNG BULL

What's up now?

- Are you ill?
- No, l'm pissed off!

- What's up, Rocco?
- Go and get the car.

Why?

Go and get the car.

l can't take any more.
l need a holiday.

Shall we go and stay
with your parents in Catanzaro?

Darling, are you angry?

Mimmo!

What the fuck...

- l dance better and l have a limp.
- What's up? You're always angry.

- What's up? - l come out of hospital
and you're screwing another woman.

l dream of that policeman every
night. 28 years old, two kids.

Surgeons make mistakes too. Accidents
happen. People die. lt's life.

- lt's our job.
- lt's not mine any more.

l don't enjoy watching people
stabbing each other at the stadium.

Go back to what you're good at.

l don't trust anyone any more.

- What are you going to do?
- Take care of Pasquale.

Have you read that file?

- No.
- l asked you to.

They're all on at me. You'd think
l'd kidnapped the President himself.

lf he's dead,

where's the corpse?

l'll lose my job over this.

Come on!

- l want 500 euros to buy a boiler.
- Stop messing around.

- 500 euros.
- Cut it out!

l want it right now.

- l've got 100.
- Write me out a cheque.

l've left it blank.

Hi, Lucia.
Nice to see you again.

- Me too.
- Well then?

Rocco Piccolo the comedian
has disappeared. Do you know him?

- Of course.
- No.

The one who sang ''Ricominciamo''
dressed as an 18th Century dame.

He left the studios with that guy,
his companion.

There was a false driver with them.
The real one was tied up.

Rocco Piccolo has vanished
just like Benda has.

What happened?

What do you think?
l don't remember a thing.

lt's a black hole.

While l was leaving,
someone stuck a syringe in me,

in the jugular vein and l fell over.

l'll have to have a nose job done.
Forgive me...

- lt won't end up in the papers?
- Probably.

- You think l can't change?
- Those who give up aren't happy.

Do you want to work as a cashier?
People'll say: ''She's sunk so low''.

l could go back to university.

You only took three exams, to keep
that stupid father of yours happy.

Mum!

lf it weren't for me,
you'd been working as a secretary.

No, l might have been a lawyer.
But you put a spoke in my wheels.

Here's your Miss ltaly
no one wants any more!

Don't cry.
Let's talk it over.

- Please, listen to me.
- Sorry, l'm listening.

l'm not feeling well. Perhaps
l should go away for a while.

To the country, far away.

- l contacted someone.
- Who?

You still have some
opportunities on television.

Wait. l'm sure this person
can give us a hand.

lf not, you can please yourself.

- Pleased to meet you. Michel Simoni.
- Good afternoon. Come in.

Azzurra!
Pleased to meet you.

Azzurra, this man is a genius!

To start with, l'll point out
your artistic profile.

You can ask me questions later.

Don't interrupt me. We don't give
a toss about remote causes.

The television that devours
and the lack of ideas

is just bullshit.
Let's talk about occasional causes.

l have analysed your appearances

in newspapers,
weeklies and on television.

ln three months you have been
on national TV 4 hours 21 minutes.

Of course, the commercial spots
are a different matter.

- They're the last reflections
of a fading star. - l was wrong.

You're still the girl-next-door type,
yet you're over 30.

Forgive me,
but you don't get them horny.

You only arouse...

kids between 16 and 19,
the masturbation age.

No one believes you achieved
success jumping in and out of beds.

Because it's true.

You don't follow me.

That's what they must think:
you give it out,

that your pussy
is a fashionable place.

You stay home all the time? Are
you a cloistered nun or Miss ltaly?

- The test results on the syringe.
- Why are you giving them to me?

- Give them to my ex-husband.
- l thought you'd be interested.

What do they say?

Sedacil, a powerful anaesthetic
for animals,

only sold to dog kennels,
breeders and zoos.

- Therefore?
- You can't buy it at the chemist's.

- Then what?
- That's all.

- That leaves us only 100,000
suspects. - Leaves us?

Can l be frank with you?

You're throwing your life away.
You're wasted checking photos.

This is your life.

You were there two years ago too.

- You could have been killed too.
- Of course.

But de Santis was an asshole.
lt's the shit of this job.

And l don't want to be part of it.

You're right. l'm sorry.

ltaly has gone through everything,

bomb attempts,
murders and conspiracies.

The ltalians have always responded

and found the strength
to oppose Evil.

Today Evil has entered our homes

taking away two dear figures:
a great psychologist,

and an artist who
brings cheer to our lives.

The Farting Bull
always made me laugh.

We're sad without Rocco Piccolo.

Nicolo' stopped eating and
Dr Benda helped me to understand him.

Michele and l had remained friends.

He called me all the time.

He told me about his dreams.

Did you really meet
Giovanni Barenghi?

- Who?
- The football player.

Yes. l met him a month ago.

- He phoned but l didn't call back.
- Why not?

- l didn't feel like it.
- Are you stupid?

Barenghi's on the ltalian team.
Remember when l dated Coccia?

- The choreographer?
- The footballer.

l had a lot of work then. Let's go
out with Barenghi and Coccia.

What do you reckon?

Franco! How are you?

- Haven't you stopped growing?
- l'm really pleased to see you.

- You're becoming a man. Where's Mum?
- She's over there.

l can't stand her any more.

There's an ostrich farm near Norcia.

They reported the theft of 70 boxes
of Sedacil two months ago.

The ostrich breeder
has disappeared too.

Domenico Calaciura.

No corpse was found, no ransom
request. He vanished into thin air.

lt's open. Shall we go in?

Right.

- He was on the Sonia Norton Show.
- Him too?

- Who's there?
- Who's that?

They look like young birds.

- On three. One, two, go!
- You said ''three'', Lucia!

What are these idiots thinking of?

Getting rid of television?
Turning it off?

Television always regenerates
stronger than ever from its wounds.

These disappearances
have increased viewing rates,

money and investments in advertising.

But let's get back to your request.

No, you cannot rummage
in my archives.

Unless you have a warrant from
the magistrate. Have you got one?

- No.
- No.

Then get one.

What a bitch!

- Shall we go to the magistrate?
- First let's get out of this sewer.

You carry on, l'll be right with you.

- Calm down! Why?
- You know why.

- lt's for private consumption.
- Shall l search? Want to go back?

- l don't want to remember that time.
- Good. l need something.

Andreas, when was
Domenico Calaciura on the show?

- l can't remember.
- l don't know.

Now find out who can tell me,
without them knowing.

Yes.

Are you crazy? l'll lose my job.

He's an ostrich breeder who
carries out genetic experiments.

The bastard!
Domenico Calaciura, eh?

- He was here September 27th, 1993.
- Was that the only time?

- Yes.
- Can we have a cassette?

Well?

l cannot have access to the archives
without Sonia's authorization.

Bye.

Let's go and talk to the magistrate,
l'll speak to you later.

- Alexia, please!
- There is one way.

Wait!

Come here!

Hold it. Calm down!

l've been expecting you.

l've the tapes of ''Sonia Norton Show''
''Bella domenica'' and ''Domenica con''.

l even have some of ''Prima mattina''.
Though not all of them.

- This way. This is my wife.
- Good evening. Come inside.

This is the original video.
l'll make you a copy.

Can we watch it now?

- Of course.
- Go ahead.

He won't bite.

This evening our guests
are Rocco Piccolo,

the new ''Miss ltaly'',
Azzurra Rispoli,

the singer Ester Bonanni,

who is celebrating her first gold
disc with ''ll cuore in soffitta''.

The psychologist Michele Benda.

Our special guests are:
Daniele Esposito,

known as Daniel the Magician

and Domenico Calaciura,
ostrich breeder.

All three of them are guests:
Benda, Calaciura and Rocco Piccolo.

- We have to protect them.
- Who?

The dancer, the singer,
the Magician, Sonia Norton! Come on!

lt's miraculous.

The Egyptians have used it for
thousands of years, like Cleopatra.

Matteo! What's going on?

Matteo!

l'll be right down.

Shreck, are you stupid?

- Azzurra Rispoli's not answering.
- What about the Magician?

- Daniele Esposito? They're looking.
- There must be thousands of them.

He's a magician,
there must be some sort of list.

Take it easy, they're cops.
You've smashed my car up.

l'm really sorry.

You're in danger,
we have to protect you.

- No, thanks. l already am.
- You really are in danger.

Let's go, boys.

Sit down!

Good boy. Sit down.

- ls he German?
- He did a dog training course.

- ls he dangerous?
- He's good.

As long as l don't say ''achtung''.

One day an ugly, half-blind cocker
came to the park. Smelly.

- He started arguing with Daitan.
- He's crazy.

He grabbed hold of its tail...

He wouldn't let go.
l had to set him on him.

Daitan went crazy.
He bit his ear off.

- That asshole carried on.
- Why?

He must have got stuck.
His jaw was blocked.

The cocker's owner arrived. Ugly.
Wearing a track suit and glasses.

She started yelling.

l said: ''Madam, he was
tearing my dog to shreds.

He's delicate''.
l slapped her.

Darling, aren't you eating?

Shreck!

Azzurra Rispoli?

l haven't received any threats and
l don't go about with those people.

You can't just kidnap people.

We just want to prevent anything
happening to you, to protect you.

From whom?
You don't even know yourselves.

l don't feel very well.

l have to take some medicines.

What's the matter?

Ten years ago, you, Rocco Piccolo,
Michele Benda and Ester Bonanni,

were guests
on the ''Sonia Norton Show''.

There was an ostrich breeder
and a magician.

l don't remember.
l was on the show a lot of times.

Can you go to a safe place
outside town?

l could go to my parents' home.

- You mean l can't go out?
- No, but it won't be for long.

l can't.
l have to go home and get my things.

- All right. Franco will go with you.
- Yes.

You go to this address.
We have to find the magician.

He's on the register.
You were right. Come on!

Don't tell me he's vanished too.

lt's all in order.
The door was intact, locked.

- How did you get in?
- The concierge has the keys.

- Can you give me two minutes?
- Go ahead.

This way.

Shreck, come here.

- Have you seen ''Special Forces''?
- No, what is it?

A TV series.
l supervised the filming.

- Can you wait outside?
- Yes, but l'll check it out first.

l'd have appreciated your opinion
seeing you're in show business...

Azzurra, are you all right?

No! Damn it!

Come on!

How the fuck did that happen?

She went into her bedroom
and just vanished.

You should have stuck with her.
Fuck you!

l left the force
because of guys like you.

- Calm down, Lucia.
- Like hell l'll calm down!

Calm down!

- Calm down.
- Yes.

ln the meantime
that poor girl might be dead.

Hello, Mum.

Well?

You've drunk all the beer.

- Go out and buy some!
- You've had enough to drink.

Oh God! You're giving me a sermon.
Who are you, your father?

- Are you 50 years old?
- What have l done to you?

All you can do is throw shit at me.

Marina, get dressed.
l'll take you home.

Pasquale, wait.

Please stay. Don't go.

You've gone too far this time.

Forgive me, really.

What happened? ls it work?

- Have you been fired?
- Yes.

- Was it that shithead of my father?
- Don't talk like that.

Who then?

That shithead of your father.

Azzurra Rispoli and
Ester Bonanni have both gone missing.

No one could have done a worse job.

So anyone with a public role
has to fear for their life?

You should at least
have the decency to resign.

This lady has become an expert.
But let's not be controversial

or l'll leave.
However...

Mrs Norton,

l guarantee, personally,
that we did all we could.

Personally?

- We all remember Sandrino Gerani.
- Let's remind our viewers.

Sandrino Gerani killed a policeman
and his grandmother two years ago.

Who headed that operation?
You and your wife, deputy chief.

Ex-wife if l remember rightly.

But we'll talk
after the commercial break.

Help! What do you want from us?

Money? We can give you money,
we're worth something.

Why aren't you saying anything?
Because you're cowards!

Rotten cowards!

l hate you.

l hate you.

l hate you! Fuck off!

That's enough! Cut it out!
Go to sleep, you asshole!

Asshole, stop it!
That's enough! Quiet!

- Make him be quiet!
- Fuck off!

Thank you, good evening.

This evening our guests
are Rocco Piccolo,

the new ''Miss ltaly'',
Azzurra Rispoli,

the singer Ester Bonanni

who is celebrating her first gold
disc with ''ll cuore in soffitta''.

- From Naples. - Magician Daniel.
- Daniele Esposito.

ln your letters
you even claim to be

the grandson of the Great Houdini.

l am the illegitimate
grandson of Houdini.

When my grandfather
came to Naples for an exhibition,

he went out with my grandmother
and my father was born.

This is a scoop. But it seems
Houdini never came to ltaly.

My grandfather talks to me, he says

my career will start here,
on September 27th.

l'll become the greatest magician
ever, after him.

You do know this is
a symptom of schizophrenia?

- Of course.
- You are bringing us...

the number your grandfather
did in Chicago.

- Of course.
- After the commercial break.

l'm a little nervous.

l feel like l'm among the angels.

My assistants will tie your wrists.

From this tank filled with water,

the magician will work
free of his chains.

- Will he do it?
- There's a trick.

- He'll do it. He believes it.
- What does Calaciura say?

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

We can start then.

While we're waiting for him
to work himself free, Ester,

will you sing
''ll cuore in soffitta'' for us?

All right.

That's enough! He's dying!

- Quick! Get him out of there!
- That's enough!

Sonia!

He's dying.

He's dead.

Come on.

- He's breathing.
- ls he okay? Pull him up.

You nearly gave me
a heart attack.

- Don't cry.
- lf you meant to excite us, you did.

lt's not enough to believe
you're Houdini's grandson.

l gave you a chance and you almost
killed yourself. Then what?

He doesn't deserve it, but
give him a round of applause.

Commercial break.

- l remember him. Daniele Esposito.
- The magician.

Yes.
We gave him a Houdini box once,

and he'd perform tricks and games.

He would get himself locked
in cupboards, then escape.

- Was he ever adopted?
- No, he was never chosen.

- l have to find him.
- We were in touch until recently.

The last time he told me
he was working as a gardener.

The pizza's here!

We'll never get out of here.
We'll never get out of here!

We have to feel the fear...

l'm lnspector Allasco, l wanted
to ask you about Daniele Esposito.

- Something you didn't tell us.
- l haven't seen him for months.

The adminstrator will tell you
he owes a lot of back rent.

Do you know him?
Did you ever talk to him?

- No, he's very reserved.
- So you don't know where he works?

Hurry up.
Then let me know so l can lock up.

Pizza Maniac.

- Who's speaking?
- Pizza Maniac, home delivery.

- Have you ever seen this man?
- No.

Soft cheese and red lettuce?

Mexican? Beans and sausage.
Buy a beer and get a gift.

- Look more carefully.
- lacu, take the orders!

l don't have any time to waste here.

- How many rice balls? Ten?
- Listen, l'm from the police.

- No, we don't make potato balls.
- Do l have your attention now?

This man called you from his home.
Have you ever seen him before?

-Do you deliver to Via Quarto Miglio?
-lt's not our area.

Are you the only one here?

Yes, but l've only worked
here three days.

l'll leave you my cell phone number.

Call me if he comes here. At once.

Sorry.

Pasquale, are you there?

Hello? Are you there?

No, eh?

There are some meatballs
and ice-cream in the freezer.

lacu, are the pizzas ready?

They won't be long.

Darn it!
l wanted to ask you something.

My brain's all a fuzz.
l feel so confused.

The man you wanted is over there.
l recognized him.

- Where?
- Over there.

l'm hungry.

- Help.
- l'm hungry.

Get your hands in the air.

Hands up and turn around slowly.

Turn around slowly.

- lt fell off. Here.
- Get on the floor.

- Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
- Hands behind your back!

l've got the keys!

- Open the door.
- l can't, my hands are tied.

- Open up!
- l'll throw them near the doors.

- Throw them!
- Don't do anything stupid!

Over here. Give them to me!

Azzurra! Throw them over here.

Come on, throw them!

l've got them!

Azzurra.

Azzurra.

Stop!

Franco, thanks for calling.
l knew l could count on you.

- Do you need anything else?
- Let's use first names.

As l was saying, Rocco Piccolo
was hit 100 mts from here.

Let's go then.
Can l film something?

You don't even have to ask.

We finally have some news,
but in the most tragic way.

We are the first film crew to see
where Rocco Piccolo died yesterday.

This is lnspector Franco Berardi
who will help us to understand.

How did Rocco Piccolo
get here in the underground?

- Tell us what happened.
- Good evening.

The body was dragged
as far as the next station.

This is where the impact took place.

We found a shoe about 100 mts away.

- ls that so? - Rocco wasn't able
to get out of the way.

- But why was he here?
- l do have a theory about that.

lf Rocco Piccolo was here,

the others may also
be nearby and still alive.

Good. What's that over there?

The entrace to a pipeline l think.

All right. Turn it off.
Thanks, Franco.

Make an empty entrance,

a subjective one.

Then after that...

Get a shot of the shoes.

Help...

Help me...

Look for some details,
whatever you can find.

ln depth.

- Sonia, excuse me.
- Yes?

- l need a word in private.
- All right.

Good evening, everyone.
Welcome to the ''Sonia Norton Show''.

We have very special guests:
Michele Benda!

Ester Bonanni!

Domenico Calaciura!

Rocco Piccolo!

The beautiful Azzurra Rispoli.

The great, inimitable
Magician Daniel!

l am the illegitimate
grandson of Houdini.

This is a scoop.
We're so happy you're telling us.

l'm so happy. l've been waiting
for this moment my whole life.

- This way.
- Let's go.

l'm not coming
and l didn't bring you here.

You can't leave us now. Let's go.

When the others get here,
make them pass through here.

You must say
it's a symptom of schizophrenia.

lt's a symptom of schizophrenia.

Thank you.

The Great Magician Daniel
is here tonight to bring us

the number his grandfather
did in 1912 in Chicago. Curtains!

Wish me luck.

Daniele, listen to me.
There's no second try.

lt won't help,
you're just making us suffer.

Wish me good luck.

Good luck.

Sing.

You have to sing
''ll cuore in soffitta.''

- l can't.
- You have to sing!

lt all has to be the same.

- Croak, you bastard!
- Die, you shithead!

Help!

- Help!
- Help us!

- Help!
- Fuck!

Come on!

- Help us! What are you doing?
- Leave him to die!

Smash the glass, smash the glass!

Please, help him.

l did it!

No!

What have you done? You've shot him.

Ester.

Ester, l'm pleased to see you.

Sonia! lt was a nightmare.

l know, but stay seated.
Make-up! Mikes! Light make-up.

- Sonia! l thought it was all over.
- Michele, you're great.

l'll start with you then, okay?

l need Daniele Esposito's
psychological profile.

l want an opening Benda-style.
lt'll be a great success.

Like this?

Franco! That's not your place,
come over here near me. Go on!

Wake up! You're the hero!

Azzurra!

Don't do it, you'll regret it.

Don't do it.

Listen to me. Sit down.

Good girl.

Lucia, where are you going?

You deserve to be on it too.

- We start in two minutes.
- Thanks.

Right, listen to me carefully.

l want the truth. The truth.

The country's waiting for this
and we won't let them down. Right?

Let's give ourselves a round
of applause for encouragement.
