All language subtitles for Giovent+¦ perduta (1947).Eng

Keep still. Go back in. Don't turn
around. Go back in, quick!

Walk.

You've got no need to see.
And walk.

Do not worry old man,
13 is a lucky number.

Come on, open up!

Against the wall.
- Move on!

Watch out!

Mr. Giuseppe!
- What is it?

What are you doing in the dark?
- A power failure. - Yet...

Don't you move, or else...

Let's go, quick.
- Let's go, Matricola.

Don't go so fast!
Are you scared?

Certain things shock him,
he's still a rookie!

But you shell out gunshots like sneezes!
- What need was there to shoot?

Matches!

Keep the matchbox.
- No, so I lose it.

If I shot, it's because I needed to.
He saw our faces.

I don't like it when they see my face.

"The maiden hid her face, with an
anxious and hesitant smile."

Cut it out! How much did we make?
- You don't love poetry. You're a brute.

These will make the fear go. Go slower.
- I must return the car to the garage.

I wouldn't want that some patient
calls for my father just tonight.

It happened once, and I was in trouble.
- Exquisite professional conscience!

4, 5, 6...

Stand back, back!
- Clear the way!

We're going, marshal.

Get away! What do you want here? Drive'm
away! - There is nothing to see here!

The attacked claims he saw a red cross
on the front window of the car.

What are you looking for, in there?

I am a wretch without glasses.
I should have another pair somewhere.

If you can't see, how could you tell
the red cross on the glass?

Ah! But it was before... - It was before
they snatched them off him, marshal.

Go on.

But the attacked couldn't see the face
of any of the bandits, who were four.

Ah, here they are!

He states however that they
must be very young.

So then, you saw them.
- He understood it by their voices.

One of them, the boss probably,
wore a light colored raincoat.

And when the bandits fled, he heard him
saying one name distinctly: Matricola.

Nothing else.

Sign here.

"Matricola",...weird name.
- A nickname, surely.

Marshal, do you remember the robbery
at Via del Vantaggio? - Well?

Then too, they saw a 1100 with a red
cross, and those were young as well.

But no one wore a white raincoat.
- But 2 months ago it was still summer.

What date do we write, commissioner?
- October 13th, no? - Alright.

Actually, it's the 14th.

They even had the nerve to tell me
that 13 is a lucky number.

Giulio, Sandrino, come and have
breakfast. You'll be late!

Luisa, are they with you?
- I sent them down already, mom!

Oh, here they are! Will you stop
making all this noise?

Your father is working.
Stop it!

Good morning! - Good morning Stefano,
you got up early today!

Do we start?
- Right away.

Mom! Giulio stole my bread!
- Stop it!

You came back late, last night.

Since you know it, why do you ask?
- Don't get upset, eat.

6 times 8, 48; 6 times 9...
- Come on, drink up and off to school!

Good morning!

Stop it with that thing!

Serves you right!

Up! Go say bye to dad.

Why do you hit the kids? - Sometimes
they need it. What do you care?

It bothers me to hear them crying.
-Hey! Sugar is rationed, don't you know?

I don't like bitter coffee.

You're a nice ego�st.
What about the others?

Why don't you help your mother
to wash the sheets?

Are you afraid to ruin your hands?
- Yessir! Do you mind?

Tell me, have you found it?
- What?

A rich husband.
- Stupid!

How do you want him, with a car?

No, with two: one for the morning
and one for the evening.

After all, I can't disagree. Without
money, life is sad. - Luisa!

This is Maria.
- Is Luisa in?

Hi, Maria.
- Will you go to the University with me?

Don't you see I'm in dressing gown?
Come in. - I'll be late.

The time to get dressed.
They won't fire you for 5 minutes!

Luisa, coming back get some greens
and two eggs for the children.

No meat? - Ther's some left over from
yesterday. Meat everyday hurts.

It hurts the purse!

Come in, Maria. How is your mother?
- Fine, thank you.

Hi, Stefano.

Hi.

What's that, today's paper?

What are you doing behind there?
- Nothing.

It bothers me to have people behind.
Come forward.

You changed your hairstyle?
- You noticed?

It's a little hard not to.

Once you liked me so coiffed.
- When?

Some years ago. - Imagine!
And you still think of those days?

I'm going.
Bye!

Stefano, don't you say bye to dad?
- Is he in the office? - Yes.

Then it's better not to disturb him.

But Stefano, he wants to talk to you!
- Oh, alright.

Good morning dad! So what?
- Hi.

Listen, if you go to the University,
tell the secretary to give me a call.

Actually today I haven't got time.

I get it.
- Then, goodbye.

No, wait.
Come in and close the door.

You never got time, you're very busy.
What do you do?

Me? Why?

When I was your age my father scolded me
often to exchange his home for a hotel.

It's an old sentence that I don't wish
to repeat. But these are hard times!

We were well in this house, once. Now,
mom's hands are red from washing dishes..

What have I got?
- She does your shirts as well, Stefano.

What should I do: go without shirt?

You think I want to do the sermons,
but I'm only trying to understand.

What's there to understand?!

You're right. Maybe things are the same.
It's us elders, that change.

Maybe it's you who should try
and understand me.

Here, these are 200 lire I wanted to
give you. More than that, I can not.

Thank you.

If your mother asks, tell her I gave you
the sermon, or she'll give one to me.

Sure! Do you have a match?

No, keep the matchbox.
- No, so I lose it.

New arrivals?
- Yes, fresh flowers!

Wake up!
Is anyone there?

Hey, cheers!

Hi.

What then?
Isn't it time to go to sleep, yet?

Please! People behind disturb me.
- We've got the same character!

I don't seem to get one right, tonight!
- Tonight!? The sun is up high already!

What are you doing here?
- And you...do you want these?

Did you break open the piggy bank?
- The Bank of America and Italy!

The game goes on. How much is the bank?
- Twenty thousand. - Bank.

Here.
- We're even.

Are you leaving?
- I'm going over there for a moment.

#Hawaii, sweet land of dreams,..

#of languid breezes, dance
and wild passions.

Hawaii, Hawaii,..

#flower of the tropics...

It's no good this way!

#Hawaii, sweet land of dreams,

#of languid breezes, dance
and wild passions.

#Hawaii, Hawaii,..

#flower of the tropics,
you're the magic.

#How far are you, Hawaii!

Good morning!
- We had an appointment?

We've already met another time.
Think about it.

Yes, you're the one that smokes Camel.
Give me one.

So long, then.

I didn't explain myself. It's for a
specific purpose that I came here.

Which one?

You have a beautiful voice.

And a beautiful skin.

"UNIVERSITY OF ROME
Registrations close on October 20."

"SECRETARIAT.
No admittance"

Come Francesco, let me in.
- No, you cannot. It's not allowed!

You don't want me to wait in line!?
- Are you any better than others?

Sure! Not everyone has a professor
as father! Here.

Put it in the Savings Bank!

How did you manage to get in?
- Here. That's the money and the papers.

You remember me only when it suits you!
- You know you're better, so coiffed?

Well, give it here. Now go!

Open up! Open up!

Miss, open the other window!
They'll break everything here!

Hey, muster!

Congratulations!
- What's up?

Not bad, as force of impact! - Funny!
Can't you see they're all pushing?

Then miss, excuse me,
but I've got a foot right under yours.

Forgive me,
I didn't do it on purpose!

That's better! But, among mates,
we use a more confidential way.

I have not registered yet. Anyway, hold
on to my jacket and close your eyes.

Marcello Mariani, of late Edmondo, born
in Genova on...But how old are you?

27.
- And you register as freshman?

Six years of service,
almost one in South Africa...

Hey you! Are you giving a confession?
Hurry up! - Prick him with a pin!

Where's the receipt?
- What receipt?

The payment! The other window, first.
- Hi, Maria.

Hi! But why stick yourself in this mess?
- Right. Would you take care of it?

Thank you. Goodbye.

Well, will you let me through?
- Wait, I'll take you outside.

Thank you then.
The cashier is down there. Goodbye.

Excuse me, when do lessons start?
- Are you so eager to study?

Not to study, but to meet you again.

You've waited for so many years,
some days more won't hurt you.

Miss?
- Yes?

Forgive me, I lost a button.

Maybe in South Africa this still worked,
but here, this gimmick is outdated.

But no, I'm serious. Look!
- And you're telling me?

Miss!

When do registrations close?
- The 20th.

Match.

Finally, you are equipped now!
Let me see.

Nice, eh?

Careful not to loose this one too!

Who is the night guard?
- This, to the management.

Him.

A sinister thought
stirs in the breast of our leader.

You can't imagine how it annoys me to
walk aimless, like this!

Oh! You're really unfortunate!

It had to be an extraordinary button!
- Eh, yes! It came from South Africa...

You won't propose me to go all the way
there, to look for it!?

Miss,..

I must confess you something.

It was predictable.
I told you the trick was old.

Really you knew it? Then...
- Look, I've arrived.

No, wait. - Goodbye. I'm going,
else you'll ask me to sew it!

This was predictable too.
I'm not very original.

Better so.

Hit!

Stop it.
Leave him alone!

Come on. Let's get his money!
- His money, his money!

Sure, go ahead...if you find any!

Excuse me, madam. - Don't worry. I know
what it's like to deal with these two.

Go away now.

It's Marcello Mariani, mom,
a University mate.

A friend of Stefano?
- Not yet.

I hope to see you again.
- Thank you.

Here. And try to not loose it again.

Thank you.
Now there is no need anymore.

But what happened:
did your father change job?

Hi, Luisa. Why? - There isn't the
red cross on the windshield anymore!

My mother wanted it off because she said
it seemed an ambulance. Bye!

Hi! - Stefano!
This is Marcello Mariani. My brother.

Pleased to meet you.
- Pleased. - Stefano!

The rifle doesn't work anymore!
- How come?

Learn.
- Thanks.

Sometimes my brother is a little gruff,
but... - Nothing wrong.

Listen, the 20th it's his birthday.
Why don't you come? We'll have fun.

It's quite rare in these days.
- You'll come then?

It may be.
- Call us.

Me too, mommy, me too!
- Yes, you too, but be quiet.

It's 9...

20 years ago, at this hour,
Stefano came to the world.

Congratulations, Stefano.
This deserves a toast.

Naturally!

Dad, only you know how to toast,
on these occasions.

Toasts and cheers are outdated habits.

You young people laugh at these things.

No, no! No excuses. We want the toast!
- The toast! The toast!

Go back to your place.

Com on dad, courage!

Well then,
I wish Stefano just one thing:..

the same happiness that we felt
20 years ago, at this hour..

when we heard him cry
for the first time.

Cute.
But I was the one crying, though.

Odd! Why not ask the children's opinion
before introducing them to this world?

At any rate, I'm not complaining.
Cheers.

Damn! Where did you get this stuff?
It's you who made it!

It's excellent.

Today's youngsters have a strange mix of
cynicism and pessimism that scares me.

I don't know if, at my times, I'd been
able to speak this way to my father.

Your times! Today, cigarettes cost
20 lire each. Don't you know?

Only the smart can afford to smoke them.

Hey, Luisa, do you think that this
brand gets along with cars?

Just what do you mean?
- She's waiting for the Prince Charming.

Why don't you mind your own business?
Come, let's dance.

Watch out sister!
He will give you a hard time!

He's got the face of a serious person,
that's quite comforting!

Should I feel offended?
- Why don't you dance with Maria?

One moment! There is a tie here,
a tie around that won't come out!

Come on! You won't deny that
this year too you've given me a tie..

eventually, a grey one, with
little black crosses. - It isn't grey!

You see? There is a tie!
But I bet I won't like it all the same.

Give it! - It's upstairs, in your room.
It should have been a surprise.

Well, run and get it.
It must be beautiful.

You don't want me to climb all those
stairs for it? - No, I'll go. Come...

Luisa will fall this time!
What do you say?

Stefano!
Remember when we went to the river?

What river?

Don't you remember?
It was so beautiful, in Summer...

Wouldn't you want to be
like you were then?

I don't know.
I don't remember how I was then.

I do. Once on a while,
I go back there, you know?

Alone, without telling anyone.

What are you doing...going out?
- Yes, I must go.

But, right tonight that...?

It's my birthday, I know. But,
we've already celebrated, no?

When it comes to cigarettes and liquor,
your brother treats himself well!

Even too well! And that's not enough!
Look.

Not bad.

You think so? Must be a dancer,
or something like that.

No, she doesn't dance; she sings.
She's at the Orfeo now.

Do you know her?
- Yes. By name, only.

You know too many things.
Where do you go around, at night?

Id just like...
- What are you doing?

We were drinking to your health.
Do you mind?

Imagine! It's a joy for me,
to see you rummaging in my room.

Excuse me.

Going out?
- Yes.

Stefano!

This is the tie from Maria.

I want to save you the trouble
of rummaging in my drawer.

That's better, isn't it?
Bye.

The same old friends.

Listen, I too want to have some fun,
tonight. Will you take me out?

With pleasure.
- What was the name of that place?

It's not a place for you.
- Who do you think I am?

But what will your father say?
- You'll ask my mother. She likes you.

#Tell me about yourself

Listen Luisa, tonight
I committed a theft at your house.

You stole the silverware?

Mind you, it's only plated. - No, not
the silverware. Something worth more.

Well, let's hear it.
- I prefer that you realize by yourself.

Always mysterious. And why now are you
looking at me with those dull eyes?

Do you have something to tell me?
Well, tell me.

I can't, if you don't help me.

Listen Marcello, if there is someone who
has to declare, that's you, not me.

That's the rule.

Okay, I make the declaration,
but on one condition.

Which one?
- That it is accepted.

Meanwhile, you made it.
- What do you say?

I'll think about it. First, I want to
see clear in your financial situation.

#tell me about yourself..

#and of your first love.

Now I'll go to that woman,
and I'll bring her here, dead or alive.

No, wait.
- Didn't you come here for this?

Yes. But I wouldn't want her to think...

What do you want her to think? It's
her job to be invited to the tables.

Are you a friend of Stefano?
- Yes...we're his friends.

Won't you sit down?
- Thank you.

But where did Stefano go tonight?

Does he come here often?

Almost every night.
Do you mind?

Well? Shall I turn also my profile?

What do you care about my brother?

Wow, this is a family trial!
And who's he, the uncle?

You like them? Don't delude yourself,
they're all fake.

Since you're so curious, I'll tell you
that the only real one is this.

Real gold. And do you know who
gave it to me? Stefano.

Want to know more?
Excuse me, duty calls.

Shall we go?

You love him a lot, don't you?
- Yes.

How do you know I was thinking of
Stefano? - It's not hard to understand.

But listen, you mustn't exaggerate
the importance of some things.

They always end like they began. Some
fine day she leaves him, or vice versa.

I'm sorry, Marcello.
I made you spend a tedious evening.

I whish that all my evenings
were like this one.

Are you sure you didn't get bored?

Sorry. It is the custom among peers
to address themselves confidentially.

But we are. - Yes, but with you
it's different. It is harder.

Is it easier now?

No, not here.
I can try and check the bulb socket.

"POLICE HEADQUARTERS IN ROME"
'BAR' ROBBERY"

STUDENTS?
(Matricola)

Well? Did you find the fault?
- It can only be the bulb.

Guard!
Guard!

I sent him 15 minutes ago for a new bulb.
Can't see a thing, not even cursing!

So?

What's up?
- Listen...

I wish that you entrust to someone else
the students' case.

Why?
- So...I don't like it.

Did you find a track? - Nothing at all.
I could not conclude anything.

I know you well. You're not the type to
quit at the first difficulty. What's up?

I'm afraid this is not a job for me.

Ah! Very convenient!
Look here.

In the last 24 hours,
2 suicides and 3 crimes.

There's also a simple
homicide for a theft.

A joke, these days!

Once, when they murdered someone, we did
a couple of round-ups, and 9 out of 10..

we found our man in some tavern.

But where do we go find him, today?

There's no gentleman who wouldn't kill
his father to take his denture.

Do you think I enjoy
being behind this desk?

I know. It is not a pleasant occupation.

But what would happen
if everyone did like you?

I know what's wrong. It happens
to all those starting this job.

They question the motives of these acts,
then a crisis of conscience ensues,..

and then nausea.
Well, alright,..

vacation! 15 days promenading
in the park. Okay?

I don't think a vacation will suffice.
- Try it first. Try!

And remember that, for us, the war
is not over yet.

All right. Thank you!
- That's my boy!

But I do not want to see you in this
office for the next 15 days, right?

Marshal, take care of it.

Hello, Luisa?
Yes, it's me.

Nothing...
I just wanted to hear your voice.

Just so.

"SECRETARIAT.
No admittance"

You?
- I received a phone call.

Your name please?
- Maria Rivano.

Go in.

You're saying right, commissioner.

But, to doubt that some staff member...
- I don't doubt. These are facts.

Neither the door nor the safe
have been forced.

It had to be people who knew the place.
- Shall I photograph the desk too?

Never mind. The prints within today,
don't do as usual. - OK.

But the safe was empty. - Right.
Luckily, even criminals make mistakes!

Sometime.
- They unscrewed the valve.

See? It wasn't easy to find a valve
behind that picture.

But those couldn't go wrong.

Eh! If the old man could speak!...

Marshal, try and call the hospital.

This young lady? - Maria Rivano,
employee of the registry. - Ah, yes.

Miss, maybe I'll have to
interrogate you, after.

Meanwhile, take a look around, and
tell me if you see something strange.

Have a seat, don't be afraid. - Hello?
The brigadier? Let me speak to him.

Hello?

Thanks.

Yes...I understand...well.

What?...
Yes...

I understand...
Yes, okay.

The usher has regained consciousness
and has spoken:

The bandits were four,
but he did not recognize them,..

One wore a white raincoat.
He's sure to have wounded one.

Four...
And a white raincoat...

Excuse me, when do classes begin?
- This morning, unless you ...

Indeed! Everything must proceed
as if nothing ever happened.

It's the best way to help us.
So then, miss!

I want to ask you a few questions.

What do you want?
- I heard noise. Can I do the room?

At this hour? - It's late already!
Courses start today, and...

But, you didn't sleep last night?
- So what, is it mandatory?

What's wrong with that arm?
Did you hurt yourself?

Nothing. A nick. Maybe I drank too much
and unfortunately, someone..

gave me trouble, and I bumped against
something, trying to keep him quiet.

Stefano, last night I was at the Orfeo.

To do what?
- I saw that woman.

So what?
- I saw the bracelet you gave her.

A gold bracelet, Stefano.
Where did you get that money?

But who told you that it is gold?
- She did.

Well, let her believe it.
Why spoil her pleasure?

Stefano, you mean...that bracelet...
- It's fake! Do you think I'm stupid?

Do you want me to explain
where I got the 2,000 lire it cost me?

You're hurting me.
- Forgive me.

Stefano, you scared me.

Scared?
- Don't you know what happened?

More or less.
I saw the police everywhere.

Even up there, in the secretariat.
Did they interrogate you?

Yes.
- And?

Stefano,
I really needed to talk to someone.

Look.
- What is it?

I found it this morning.
- Cute. So what?

I found it in the secretariat,
understand? And I have not told anyone.

What did you want to do?
- Hand it over.

There are initials engraved, look.
- S M.

Mine!

Don't joke.
It was on my desk.

I don't even know why I kept quiet.
Have I done wrong, Stefano?

What were you doing here?
- It's the list of registered students.

Were you looking for "SM"?

Do you think the thief
would come to enroll before the blow?

You know what I say? Better not
get involved. The police are not joking.

Let them manage on their own. - But
Francesco is in the hospital, dying!

Stories! They always say that! In a week
he will better than before, you'll see!

And, take my advice, don't talk about it
with anyone. Anyone, understand?

But say, was it necessary to make
such a fuss to give me a tie?

You could have given it yourself.
- I didn't even notice.

What are you doing this morning?
- The office is occupied by the police.

I was thinking to attend
the first lesson of your father.

We could go out together, instead.

If you want... - At what time
does my father have the lesson?

At noon.
- You go now. I'll join you in class.

Wait for me.
Okay?

So?
- Maria found it.

What did you have to buy that thing for?
At least the matches have no initials,..

beast!
- Watch your words!

Let go!

Let's hear, what would you do?
- We must take that thing from the girl..

and soon!
- Right, and make her run to the police!

There's no need to hand it over, it
just suffices that she talks about it.

There are the initials
and the shop's brand.

Do you get that far?
- This time they'll catch us!

Always optimist, the boy!
- Listen, let us be clear:

I'm not going to end up in jail
for a guy...like you, who..

first buys a lighter, puts his initials,
then leaves it under the police' nose.

So then? - Then, you made the trouble,
and you must fix it!

Sure! - You must prevent her
from talking, Stefano, at all costs!

She won't talk!

It's almost 12...

Match.

Let me look at you. Today you're
cuter than usual, people will envy me.

Come, let's go on the carousel.
- Marcello, I must go back home.

Home? The day starts badly. You just got
here and you already say you're leaving!

Yes but, we can meet again tonight.

Tonight...

Watch out, they'll arrest us! - No,
today is a holiday for the police too.

Listen, why don't you come home for
lunch? So we can go out together, after.

At your house? No, Luisa.
- Why?

I'm not boarded with you, I believe.
- I know why you won't come, for Stefano.

- What's Stefano got to do? - You are
upset for his idiotic talk last night.

Come on!
You think I believed him?

One must not mind what Stefano says,
and not even what he does.

Last night he injured his arm. Serves
him right, so he won't go out at night!

I must buy the newspaper, for home.

The last robbery in the noon edition!
Dead and wounded!

The last robbery in the noon edition!
"La Repubblica"! Dead and wounded!

Shall we go?

Is it a bad wound? - The wound?
But no! He was drunk and hurt himself.

Why? Isn't it true?
- How can I know?

Stefano is not bad.
It's the bad company that ruins him.

Matricola?
- That one, most of all!

You know Matricola?
- Yes, I know him.

Marcello, what's wrong?
- Nothing.

Your expression has changed.
- Me?

No. I was thinking,
it occurred to me a commitment.

Since you're going home,
you don't mind if I leave?

You want to leave!
- Excuse me, Luisa.

Some times I have the feeling that
you want to hide something from me.

Not at all, Luisa.

Marcello!
You didn't tell me when we should meet!

Tomorrow.
- But you didn't tell me where!

Luisa, there is something
that I must tell you,..

but I can't now.
I'll call you later, at home.

So long.

Statistics may seem, at first sight,
a barren and purely formal science,..

yet, from the figures,
we can draw many lessons.

They are like the mirror, which reflects
the image of a society, a civilization.

Consider, for example, the data relating
to crime in the postwar period.

I choose this topic for what happened
in here tonight, and that you all know.

Well, today, statistics on crime
show that, out of 200 students,..

that's about as many as are here, there
must be 2, or at least 1, delinquents.

Your generation, at times,
inspires me a certain pity.

You have been shaken by the greatest
scourges that can affect humans:..

dictatorship and war.

And, what is most terrible in war,
is not the loss of life or property,..

but the loss of moral sense,
the collapse of all values,..

the indifference, the cynicism
that it generates.

And here is the framework that
the statistics give us for this postwar.

The total number of crimes has not grown
so significantly, as generally believed.

According to a report, from 1 to
approximately 2, from 1937 until today.

But this ratio increases,
reaching the limit..

of 1 to 8, if we refer to
criminals underage.

That's not all! This report, from 1937..

to 1947, gives an impressive leap
from 1 to 12,..

if one refers to classes:
high, medium and small bourgeoisie.

Today the middle class is probably
the more represented in crime news.

I cite, at random, the robbery
at Villa Sampieri,..

made by a group of students,..

the murder of Maria Lazzi,
by the hand of Tirone..

"What are you doing here?
Look out the window. It's spring."

And the list could go on.

It's the foundations of society
that are thus undermined.

It is time that the forces of good,
individual, family, State,..

wake up and fight
for the common salvation.

No!
- Up! We must finish it! Drink!

Enough. My head spins already. - Better!
Your flaw is having a too straight head!

Not so straight,
or I wouldn't be here with you.

Why?
Don't you like being here with me?

Precisely for this!
- You're cuter today, you know?

Come here.
- No, Stefano. They'll se us.

Stupid! Here, drink!
- No, no, or I'll say too much nonsense.

No, it's still early.
- No Stefano, what will they say at home?

You already called, didn't you?
- Be good Stefano, I'm getting sleepy.

As you wish.

Waiter.
- Stefano, I am unable to walk.

Come here, I'll help you.

"THEY ARE STUDENTS"
"Daring robbery at the University"

What's wrong, Luisa?
- Nothing, mom.

Hello?

Ah! It's you...

Listen, Luisa.

We mustn't see each other again.
It's necessary.

This is what I had to tell you.

When you will know the truth,
perhaps you will forgive me.

Farewell, Luisa.
- Marcello. Marcello!

"The guard killed. One of the criminals,
wounded, flees with his companions."

"The raincoat is the only track
for the investigation."

Stefano, let's go to the river..

where we once used to go.

Would you?
- Nothing.

Today we go to the movies, so you take
off those thoughts from your head, OK?

Stefano, what day is today?
- Thursday, 21.

You need to mark it! Yesterday was
your birthday, but today is mine!

Stupid! Now go to sleep.
I'll call you in a couple of hours.

Bye!
- Bye.

And don't tell anyone that story, OK?

Hey!
- What're you doing here?

What says?
- Who?

Maria!
- Nothing. What's she supposed to say?

Why don't you take away the lighter from
her? - Again! Yours is a fixation.

But what are you going to do?
- Don't bother me! Are you afraid?

No, but I...
- You shouldn't mingle with us, then!

But, Francesco died!

What?
- He died!

Well, here's one that no longer speaks.
- And Maria? She must have known...

Hello.
Hello?

Ah! It's you.
Yes. I just knew.

Let go, Maria.
Do not meddle in these things.

Maria, listen to me: don't get involved!
Believe me, Maria, it's better!

As you wish.
No, not now.

It's such a fine day. We'll go together
first, there, along the river.

Yes, where you wanted to go.

Only for a short while,
until the sun goes down.

Then we will go together
to the police station.

Yes.
We'll meet at the corner.

Bye.

Miss, one moment!
You can't. Wait!

I couldn't stop her.
- It doesn't matter.

Doctor Mariani...

I believed that
not even the name was real!

Right!

We of the police have nothing real:
Name, features...

Also wigs and beards are fake.

An amusing job, no?

Now you know who I am: a poor employee
with a pistol in his pocket,..

his skin at stake every day
for 20,000 lire a month.

Bonuses included.

And who, to save some lire, makes his
cigarettes by hand, when nobody sees.

You understand now that not seeing each
other any more is the only solution?

You well know it's not about that.

What else, then?
- Look!

You still have the newspaper on the desk.
You were studying all the details.

You followed Stefano, right? And, not to
waste time, you had fun with his sister.

Luisa!
- Hypocrite!

Do not try to invent more lies.
You've already said enough.

Luisa, calm down.
- And I, the fool...

Come on, speak up!
What did Stefano do?

Stefano is injured.
- Sure! And I've told you myself...

But, I did not say "injured".
You're very clever, you!

You remember only
what is convenient for you!

One must be on guard with you.

One word more and you'd have arrested me
there, on the wall, while you kissed me.

Luisa...
- Let me be!

Is it part of your job
to embrace the girls?

Go on! Continue your investigation.
Courage!

You can wear your uniform, now!

If words were of any use,
I would have much to tell you.

But they're no use.
- You're right: they're useless.

Stefano is innocent!

The trees grew up since then.
That's why it looks changed, to you.

Look, we used to go down that way,
to swim. Where the stream is calmer.

You wore a red swimsuit. It could
be seen well among all this green.

You still remember?
Much time has passed!

Why everything
is not like it used to be?

Time went by.
There was the war...

So what? Time goes by,
but we should remain the same.

I do not feel changed.
And you?

I'm not the same anymore.

It's not true.
I know you.

I know you're good, Stefano,
even though you try to hide that.

You think so?

What would you think if they told you
that I am a malefactor?

Nothing.
I just would not believe it.

You know Stefano?
I want to confess you something.

When I found the lighter,
and read the initials, "S M",..

the first name that came to my mind
was yours.

Really?
- Just for an instant.

Right after, I laughed for it.

It happens at times to have absurd
thoughts. Do you forgive me?

And if really that object had been mine,
what would you have done?

Why do you ask me?
- Suppose.

But it is absurd...
- Suppose. Would you have reported me?

Yes.

And after I'd be dead for it.

Do you come here often?
- Once or twice a year.

Without telling anyone.

And what do you do?
- Nothing...

I sit and think.
Then I get up and leave.

But before leaving I carve on one of
these trunks my name and the date.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?
- No, it isn't ridiculous.

I said enough nonsense.
It's getting late.

Maria, you really want to go
and hand over that thing?

Yes, Stefano.
See, the sun is going down already.

Well. But first carve
our names and the date.

Yours and mine Stefano?...Together?

Stefano and Maria...It's long.
I'll carve the initials.

Yes...sure.
The initials.

S. M.

Stefano!

Why do you look at me like that?

"What happens
at the University?"

"Mysterious murder
of a student girl."

"Heinous crime at
the mouth of the Aniene river."

"What are the police doing?"

Did you go see her?

Yes.

Do me a favor, Luisa, eat something.

Enough, mom. I can't.
- Do you want some, Pietro?

Put that paper down, I beg you.

"NO CLUES"

Do you want some, children?
Have some at least you, Stefano.

Enough.

I can not get persuaded!

It seems useless to go on living,
when things like this happen.

Mom, who was it that killed Maria?

Take them away. Put them to bed.

Come, let's go. Good night, dear ones.

Ask God not to let these things
happen again..

Mom, let us stay here!

I'll have to go and keep company
to that poor woman.

I know it doesn't help,
but I can not remain here.

Are you coming?

She loved you, you know...
- Oh, enough! Leave me alone!

Get out of the way, you!

Bye! - Take the scarf,
it starts to get cold! - OK.

Hello.

What's up?

Damn!

Go back to watch the house
and don't move.

He let him slip away!

So now he knows we're after him.

We must catch him.
- And the others?

We'll take care of them later.
We cannot wait.

We've already waited too long. He might
get out of Rome. Where are you going?

To arrest him.

If you prefer that someone else goes...
you're still on vacation.

If I hadn't gone on vacation,
that girl would not have died.

Well, is it forbidden to knock?
- Police.

It shows, from the hat on your head.

Where is he?
- Who?

Stefano.

Don't you answer? - Don't be so
intimate! We're not brothers.

Brothers, no.
But old acquaintances.

Really?
- Yes.

Some years ago,..

it was sent notice to all stations
on a certain Ines Keller,..

who worked as a dancer in Torino.

Listen, if you want to escape,
we'll give you all the money we have,..

but we want to stay out of the whole
matter, whatever might happen to you.

How much do you have?
- 100,000.

Want to get away cheaply!

Take it or leave it.

By Jove! You had it all ready!

Hi, guys!
- Hi.

Long time no seen!
I'd like to drink something.

How much do we bet?
- 100,000 lire.

You are crazy.
- You're a bit nervous, I believe.

Well, you afraid?

Done.

What's the meaning?
- It means that I'm not dumb.

We started this affair together,
and together we'll finish it.

Even in jail.

And if someone does not agree,
I advise him to think about it now,..

because later he will not be on time.

What are you laughing for?
- I want to make a toast.

For the "Gang Stefano".
Today ends the double life.

From amateurs to professionals.
The "Gang Stefano" is born! Cheers.

You've got talent. I like you.

Who could imagine when we copied the
exercises from each other in high school.

Paraphrasing an old motto, I would say:
"Book and musket, the bandit is perfect."

What do we have to do?
- To clear out, and tonight.

But it takes money. Lots.

100,000 lire is next to nothing.

Go get the car, you,
and come back immediately.

And don't make that face.
It looks it's you, the corpse.

Miss!

Marcello Mariani.
- He's not in.

I must speak to him!
- He's out. If it is urgent...

Yes.
- You can tell me.

No.

- Miss!

At 10:30 sharp.
- Okay.

Nobody will notice you
behind the scenes.

Turn off the power and do not care
about anything else.

I just need half a minute.

You got that right?
- I do not run any risk?

Which ones!
- What would the boss say?

What do you care about the boss!?

To get rid of a boss is to find another.
That's what life taught me.

At 10:30.

Then wait.
I will contact you.

Hey, come over here! You still have
that trick in your pocket?

I'd like to try again.
- Right away! What do we bet?

The 100,000 you've swiped a while ago.
- Did you win the lottery?

Here it is.

It's here...no longer here...

Where is it now?
Done.

Here.

I won.

I should smash your head!
- Why?

It's an old trick but always good. Learn
a trade, it will stand you in good stead.

Get out the money!
- I dont have it with me.

One moment.
- No. It doesn't matter.

I'll come and play in a while.
Put it into account.

You play? Then I'll win it back soon!
- We'll see.

You scram now. Get behind the wheel
and wait. At 10:30, start the engine.

Wait.
Check your watch first.

You seem Napoleon before Waterloo.
- Scram now.

Only one thing you must remember: don't
turn your back before the lights go out.

It is when you turn your back
that you get screwed!

Let's go.

Bank.
- Card?

You loose.
The bank is now 20,000.

Who wants the bank?
- Bank.

Well.
Card?

Card.
- Looses.

Bank is 40,000.

Freeze everybody!
Don't move your hands!

Quiet!

You, hands up!
On your head! Like that!

Quick! Quick!

Let's go!

Hands up!

Stop!

Don't shoot!

Stay still!

Hold.

One more step, and I'll kill you.

No!

Don't shoot!

They're still up.

Do you want me
to go in with you, Luisa?

Do you want me to help you tell them...?
- No.

It's better I go in alone.

It's something I must do alone.

Farewell, Luisa.

Farewell, Marcello.

See you soon.
- See you soon.
