Original subtitles

[Raffaele Sollecito] My sister is police. She will know what to do.

[reporter] Police say that evidence places Rudy Guede

firmly at the scene of the crime.

[Amanda Knox] Rudy admitted to only partial guilt,

opted for a speedy trial,

was tried before we were, and separately.

And the prosecution could then focus on their real targets,

me and Raffaele.

I have no idea how this could have happened.

Raffaele said that you weren't at his house,

that you asked him to lie for you.

-He's taken away your alibi. -What?

They were so... so hard with me,

and I was so s-scared, and terrified, and confused.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[people chattering]

[officer speaking Italian]

[Translator Vittoria Noce] And why did Raffaele turn off his phone?

Um, be... Uh, be... His dad calls him every night, and...

[Translator Noce speaking Italian]

I don't... We wanted to be left alone.

[Translator Noce speaking Italian]

[Amanda] Do... Do I need a lawyer right now?

[Amanda] Yeah, yeah, you know,

-to save the battery... -[sighs] Okay.

[♪ Upbeat Italian pop music playing]

[Raffaele Sollecito] Every story has a hero.

[♪ Upbeat pop music continues playing]

When you are a little child, you believe in magic forces for good.

Super humans flying with capes and crowns that fight for justice.

[Raffaele] In time, you learn real heroes, they are not so many.

[Raffaele] And when someone needs saving,

it is up to you to step in.

[♪ Upbeat Italian pop music playing]

[♪ Music fades out]

[guard 2 chuckles]

[guard 1 sighs]

Are you okay?

Yeah.

-Yeah. Today was rough. -Mm-hmm.

All that arguing.

Hey, what were our lawyers so upset about?

Because Mignini was supposed to give them the DNA report

so they can prepare our defense, but they are...

how you say... stalling?

But it's okay, you know. It's okay because they will fight

and will win.

Hey.

[♪ Soft traditional Italian music playing]

-[chuckles softly] -Yeah?

When we get out from here,

I take you for a nice dinner to celebrate.

What do you think?

[Amanda chuckles softly]

You do still owe me truffles.

-[chuckles] Yes. -[Amanda chuckles, sniffles]

-We go to Gubbio. -I want lunch and dinner.

-And breakfast, no? -And breakfast. [chuckles]

[Raffaele] "Doormat." "Puppet."

The false identities assigned to me

by people who didn't know me.

But Amanda knew me.

-[♪ Dark dramatic music playing] -[metal clanging]

That didn't help me much in here.

[prisoners shouting]

[Raffaele] The protected section of Terni prison

was Dante's ninth circle of hell.

-[food squishing] -Home to rapists,

pedophiles, violent criminals, and me.

[♪ Dramatic music continues]

Back at the beginning of my imprisonment,

my cellmate was a snitch...

[spits]

...trading information for reducing his sentence.

-[prisoners shouting] -[buzzers blaring]

[camera clicking]

Raffa?

[people chattering]

[speaking Italian]

[whispering in Italian]

[Raffaele] The similarity of my sneakers

to the bloody shoe prints at the crime scene

was the only thing the cops had to directly connect me to the murder.

So, when the police ignored a similar print in Rudy Guede's apartment,

my dad took his findings to the public.

-[♪ Ominous music playing] -[door thuds]

[Vanessa shushing]

No.

[♪ Tense dramatic music playing]

-[waves softly crashing] -[seagulls cawing]

[Raffaele] Mamma.

[♪ Haunting music playing]

[people chattering]

[papers rustling]

[♪ light jazz music playing]

[spectators murmuring]

[Raffaele chuckles]

[snickering]

[Raffaele] They say she's bringing me down with her,

but how could that be, when every time I see her,

she make me feel I can float?

I needed that feeling, today especially.

The scientific evidence against me was being presented,

and the prosecution still hadn't handed over the reports

to my lawyers,

leaving us unable to properly prepare our counterargument.

I believe Mignini's co-prosecutor was brought on

to handle the broader theatrics,

the theatrics beneath even a showman like Mignini.

[projector beeping]

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

-[spectators murmuring] -[Raffaele] They meant forced by me.

[laughter]

[Raffaele] Comodi was making me into an animal,

into a savage.

[reporters shouting]

When at the beginning, I was a nobody,

the "weak link" in the police's story.

But when my Nikes gave them evidence of my so-called involvement,

they turned me into the profile of a killer.

[muttering in Italian]

-[♪ Dramatic music playing] -[buzzer sounding]

[prisoners shouting]

[Raffaele] After 630 days in prison,

in July of 2009, the courts went on recess.

Three brutal months with nothing to do but think.

The letters from Amanda got fewer and fewer

until there were none.

Later that summer, we finally received Dr. Ippolito's DNA reports.

Four months late and incomplete, but my lawyers, they have hope.

[spectators murmuring]

[♪ light, dramatic music playing]

[clearing throat]

[spectators murmuring]

[♪ Tense music playing]

[Giulia Bongiorno] Mm.

[projector beeps]

[spectators murmuring]

[spectators laughing]

[Raffaele] That is when I know, despite how logical my lawyer's argument,

those delayed DNA reports

made us four months too late with our rebuttal.

The bias was deep, the damage was done.

[overlapping shouting]

[Raffaele] His consideration was quick, and his decision was final.

There would be no independent review of the DNA evidence.

[♪ light, dramatic music playing]

[inaudible]

[Raffaele] It was a blow to our case.

[reporter 1] Amanda, this way!

[Raffaele] It seemed we were losing...

and I could feel something shift.

-[cameras clicking] -[reporter 2] Amanda!

[♪ light, dramatic music continues]

[Raffaele] I was losing her, too.

[Amanda] Dear Raffaele,

thank you for your drawings,

but I'm afraid you've mistaken my friendship for something else.

We could have had something special, it's true.

But right now, I need to focus on getting myself free.

I hope this doesn't hurt you.

[Vanessa sighs] Yo.

Okay.

Okay?

[Vanessa laughing]

Huh?

Sì?

Sì.

-No. -Sì.

Um... [chuckles]

[Raffaele] Ever since my mother's death,

I had made a personal extended prayer for those in my life

who were most important.

[praying in Italian]

That morning, I prayed for Amanda.

I prayed for her family.

-[people chattering] -[cameras clicking]

And for mine.

For Meredith and all those who loved her.

I prayed for the prosecutors,

the judges,

the jury.

And I prayed for myself...

that I'd have the courage to do what I had to do.

[♪ light, dramatic music playing]

[Raffaele muttering softly in Italian]

No. You're still thinking about the broken sink.

-No. -[laughing] Yes, you are.

-No. -Weirdo.

-[chuckles] No. -I can tell.

I was thinking you look beautiful.

[Raffaele chuckles]

Okay. I was thinking...

[Raffaele] Oh.

How?

Well...

Mm-hmm?

And I'm...

easy-going.

-No. No! Okay, a tiny bit. -Sì. But I wish

I knew you in high school.

No.

I was...

-No, it cannot be true. -No, I wasn't.

-Come on. -No.

-I had bleached hair like Naruto. -No.

-Sì. -No.

-Can you imagine? -[laughing]

And I... I show my mom the picture and I start begging her,

like, "Mom, please, please, please, please."

Till I finally... I won.

-You won? -Yes.

Wow. Are you a mama's boy?

[sighs]

[♪ Soft melancholy music playing]

[Raffaele groaning lightly]

Yes.

-Yeah? -I was.

Um, no, she died two years ago.

I'm sorry.

How?

How did she die?

A heart attack.

[Raffaele sighs]

Because, um...

-My dad, he was, um, to be remarried. -Mm-hmm?

So, my mother's heart, it was just...

And she was so depressed and so sad and she was...

She was... calling me

over and over again, like, day and night,

saying something like...

"I have nothing to live for."

Or, "I just want to die."

Saying, "Why you leave me?"

So, sometimes I... I can't even answer the phone, you know?

-And... -It's not your fault.

-Uh, no, I-I... -No, it's...

-It's not your fault. -No, I... I mean...

[Amanda] It's not.

[Raffaele stammering]

It's really good that you went to school.

It is! That's... That's all you can do in life,

is do your best and be true to yourself.

You know?

[both speaking Italian]

Exactly. [chuckles softly]

It's like...

everyone says I'm like Amélie, 'cause I'm a weirdo.

So what? I'm a weirdo. Like, what am I gonna do, change?

Make everyone else happy? No.

Um...

You know...

I was everything to her.

Who are you to you?

It is not a time for celebration.
