UP AT THE VILLA
2000

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bring more champagne!

Peace for our time!

What happened?

- Who wants to play?
"Murder in the dark"?

- It's very fun!
- Colin, I'm here!

- Edgar!
- Mary, you were here!

Hang in there friends!
The dance will resume!

- What is happening?
- It's a short circuit. It happens all the time.

I don't understand. You received the telegram
by which I let you know that I am coming.

I am so glad
that you could leave.

I have so much to say...
A lot of news!

But we can talk tomorrow.
How about a dance?

He just came from Cannes
just to see her!

It's perfect for your soul.

I'm sure that
he will ask her to marry him.

Isn't it a little too old for her?

It has other qualities that make it desirable.

And it's a big deal in India.

In the situation she is in, she would do well
to accept, if he asks for her hand.

- You make her look like an orphan.
- That's it, honey.

She has nothing but the jewels on her.
Even the villa is rented.

A girl like her doesn't starve.

There will always be someone who
to take care of them.

And when will he be 60, Harold?

And then someone will be found
who will take care of her?

- Extremely boring.
- But otherwise it was a pleasant evening.

I'll take you home.

Then I take a taxi to the hotel.

I think the power went out in all of Florence.

It seems so.

What I do ?

are you feeling well

Sure. But it didn't happen again
never has anything.

I really don't understand.

Nobody suffered anything.
I got rid of them.

Mary, will you be my wife?

Are you surprised?

Yes...

Actually no.

I thought you could propose to me,
but now that you have...

You don't have to answer me now.

Can you allow me to think for a few days?

Of course.

If I come back big, after what
finish the meetings in Rome.

- Do you think you would have enough time?
- Of course yes.

Do you want to go out on the terrace?

To well.

Most of all I like to have fun
mornings on the terrace.

Yes, it's wonderful.

i have to go But first
I want to give him this.

What is it for?
It's for you.

Keep it by the bed. and take it with you
if you have to go alone.

Edgar, I have no idea what to do with him,
even if I need it.

I leave it here.

I don't want to scare you
but I must speak to him openly.

No matter what happens between us...

I want you to consider
the idea of leaving Italy very soon.

The hostility we faced in the evening
past confirmed what I had already heard.

What you heard ?

If we are to believe the reports
Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

The country is full of hungry workers,
no jobs and no money.

And the borders are stormed by refugees
who run away from the Nazis.

A single woman is an easy target.

Things will calm down later
the meeting in Munich.

It's very nice of you to care.

And I'll take the gun, if that's what you want.

But you don't have to believe it
everything you hear.

People here feel safe��.
We don't even lock the doors at night.

In so much to you, that probably
that I would worry wherever you are.

In this case I will stay here,
In the garden, until you come back.

Are you going to stop worrying?

I don't want you to miss the pleasures of Florence.
But be careful.

Yes, she is very beautiful, isn't she?

Don't bother to read the guide.

That, in particular,
don't make two bucks.

I can tell him everything you want to know.

I don't want to know anything in particular.
I went in to have a look.

- It seems to me a very peaceful place.
- me too, honey!

And at least here the smell of garlic
and unwashed feet

it is masked by the one of frankincense,
which cannot be said about museums.

Did you come here as a tourist?

- You, on the other hand, are not a tourist.
- Correct. I live here.

and where do you stay?
If I may ask.

At the villa of some friends, the Rothman family.
Maybe you know them?

Yes, Vila Cetinale.
It's wonderful!

I haven't been there in years.

But I'm not invited to parties.

Since you know Florence so well,

could you point me
some interesting places?

I think I have about two hours free.

Make way, MacDuff.

The first thing you must
to know about Florence

it has always been a nest
of vipers, intrigues and betrayal.

Hello!
Don't get up!

Where were you this morning?
I stopped by, but you were gone.

It doesn't matter. What is important is what happened
last night with Sir Edgar.

- I'm dying of curiosity.
- We felt very good together.

- what?
- and... nothing.

Yes, it was something. Something as possible
unpleasant on the way home.

Some individuals almost attacked us.
It was downright scary.

I can't understand. Everyone knows that Florence
it is the safest city in Europe today.

If you know someone who
is coming to your party tonight

and who could lead me home,
then going to take a taxi,

I will feel calmer.

Yes, I know someone.
He's an adorable American.

Like me.

He is an old friend, as respectable as can be.
Sir Edgar would agree.

He came from Paris this morning��
but he grew up here for a while…

so he knows them all.

And he is rich and married.

- and he will drive you home, if you please.
- Would be awesome.

We can't let you wither here.

In fact, I had a lovely morning!

I was in the city and I met a man,
Lucky Leadbetter.

So Lucky got you too?

His greatest pleasure
is to attract tourists

and to show them "His Florence".

Which is fair, he would prefer any time
young beardless Englishmen,

but I don't come anymore.

I can invite him tonight if you want.

It's so hard to party
Today, when they all leave.

Soon only sodomites will remain
and lesbians between two ages.

But I guess he doesn't really care,
you'll just leave soon.

- What do you mean?
- Come on Mary...

What ?

Don't tell me Sir Edgar Swift
he just came from Cannes to dance the foxtrot!

He asked you to marry him, didn't he?

- Yes.
- I knew!

But I still haven't given him an answer, so
please, Princess, don't tell anyone.

My lips are sealed.

Why didn't you accept on the spot?

I hope you are not one of those who have to
to be in love to get married.

Didn't you love her husband?

For God's sake, no!
It was so ugly that it scared even the horses!

But he was rich, he was a prince and he was Italian.
All, qualities full of charm.

Sir Egdar has many qualities.
And much to him.

And I have to admit
that I like it terribly

the idea of being a wife
the Governor of Bengal.

What the ? Mary, you didn't tell me that!
The Governor of Bengal!

Maybe then he will be appointed
the Governor of the Indies!

Think young aides
they will swarm around you

ready to fulfill his every command.

I suppose it will be a lot of work,
but I think there will also be satisfactions.

Naturally.

And if you get bored,
you can always take a lover.

I don't think respectable women
I do something like that, I'm caught!

Nonsense! I am a respectable woman and I had
so much that you can't imagine.

You can talk about it calmly at my age,
no one cares anymore.

But at that time, everything had to
to be in the greatest secrecy.

- On the other hand, that was half the charm.
- Did no one ever find out?

No, it would have been destroyed.
But there were rumors.

A provincial town like this
live on gossip, in the absence of anything else.

- Didn't any of them break his soul?
- Not...

It was just fun.
Sex and champagne in the afternoon...

to be honest
at this moment

I don't even know who I was with
a relationship and with whom not.

Although there was one
which I will never forget.

It lasted too little to be called a relationship...
One night actually.

No one would have imagined it.

He was young, poor and unhappy.
He had no joy.

He had known none of the things
wonderful things that money brings.

I gave him a night
of absolute happiness.

Something he had never dreamed of

And about which we both knew
that it will never be repeated.

I was very beautiful, you know.

Everyone wanted me.

But I gave myself to him, like that
I did not give myself to any other man.

I felt absolutely divine after that!

Damn it, I have to go right now!

The wonderful Dr. Cohen
he comes to take care of my heart.

If they're not there, don't wait.

If you ever find anything,
call Dr. Cohen.

He's Jewish, but who cares?

The fascists would give anything to get him out.

Leopardi wanted to deport him,
but I managed to prevent that.

How did you manage?

The princess knows something
about everyone, bad.

See you tonight.

- Good luck
- in your honor, Harold.

Look who's here!

Mary, my dear!
I knew you were in a relationship...

but I did not suspect in which circles
You are spinning high!

And this afternoon, out of the blue,
I found myself invited to her for dinner!

Princess San Ferdinando did not look
for me once in 20 years.

So, this afternoon, suddenly
invited me to dinner.

I assume you are the one who did it
possible this miracle.

I take the credit, if you want
but it was the princess's idea.

Dear good !
I wonder what he wants from me...

- Is that the Duke's man over there?
- Yes. And the individual who was messing around next to him

this is Archibald Grey, the president
British Institute.

I didn't see anyone smile
stupider and more embarrassing!

He is absolutely terrified that Leopardi
will kick him out of the country.

Mary, come here!

See you again...

Princess San Ferdinando
he asked me to give you this.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

- I apologize... Beppino Leopardi.
- Mary Panton.

Mrs. Panton, your presence brings me
a huge feeling of relief.

Why this?

Reduces the average age of guests
by at least 20 years.

Needless to say, you will leave
In evidence anytime and anywhere

regardless of age.

Exactly what I needed!

ladies and gentlemen,
dinner is served!

Good people, let's go to the table!

Signor Leopardi, sit here, next to me!

- Signor Leopardi!
- How are you ?

Rowley, you sit over there, next to Mary.

- Is everyone okay?
- Yes, thank you.

the champagne was good
let's hope it's also the food.

Mary Panton, I'm Rowley Flint.
The one who will lead you home.

Very good !

and I, now that I'm sitting next to you,
and Leopardi is right there.

Ms. Pantone?

May I ask you if the gentleman you were with
Was Sir Edgar Swift at the party last night?

- Yes.
- That's what I thought too.

I met him many years ago in India.
I'm sorry I didn't greet him last night.

Last night's was Sir Edgar, Archibald.

Is he still in India?

He has just been appointed
the governor of Bengal.

The Governor of Bengal! On my law!
What a fast!

I always wanted it
to live in India.

Maybe you should marry him,
caught. You said he was unmarried.

- Isn't he married?
- not yet.

I think it would be a union
very suitable.

I don't know if he would like it too much
the climate of Calcutta, prin�es�.

I have reached an age where
I prefer temporary unions.

That's why I have a soft spot for Rowley.

His intentions always are
dishonorable.

Too bad you weren't here last night,
to our wonderful party
"The peace of our time".

You could have taken me upstairs
during a power outage.

It would have given me great pleasure.
Damn blackouts.

Not a day goes by without this joy.
Candles cost me a fortune.

It's because of the weapons factories
from out of town, probably.

I heard that he works day and night.
They are preparing for war.

Leopardi smiles. Kidding.

We all know there will be no war,
now that the Munich Pact exists.

At least now we have some factories.

Under the bastards are the liberals
I didn't even have that much.

Yes.

I think it's time to make his appearance
the song. You will be amazed.

He has an amazing voice,
only macaroni and feeling.

Tell him to sing the song he sang
then, the evening I was here.

The song...

It's not here ?
How upsetting.

I really wanted my friends to listen to it.

Don't you have someone else?

Yes, I'm caught.
I have an exceptional violin.

Good...

I drank too much Martini
so that I can sing to you.

The princess told me a lot about you.

Seriously ? In your place, he wouldn't even believe everything
what he told her about me.

I'm not going to believe it
everything he told me about you.

What did he tell her?

Don't worry.

You should know that he introduced you
in wonderful colors.

But how can I not believe him...

Maybe you are talking to me
about you.

- I'm afraid it will bore you.
- I will tell him if it will be like that.

Thank you.

English widow.
Very smart, very beautiful...

not involved in a relationship...
in Florence for an indefinite period.

That's how the princess described you to me.

Of course I assumed he wanted to
to put it on my neck

a boisterous matron, who can't
to lay a claw on a man.

But you... Men have to step on each other
on their feet to take you home with them.

I usually get home alone,
with my car.

I think you are the most beautiful woman
that I have ever seen.

How many women have heard
this from you?

Quite a lot, but that doesn't mean
that it's not true when I tell him.

Maybe not, but let's go
let's stop here, okay?

Why ? It seems like a topic to me
interesting.

Such words twisted me
mind when I was a child.

But now, when I'm older
and I hope, still wiser,

the subject has ceased
to arouse my interest.

You are a sensitive woman.

A compliment that, this time,
it really flatters me!

- That was not my intention.
- Really?

It's like a replica
which I have heard before.

Give a woman a hat,
and a book to a beautiful one, isn't that the idea?

Thank you!
Peppino!

Terrible, my dear.

I'm sorry Prince.

The singer will be here tomorrow.

I'm afraid we can't wait
Until tomorrow, Peppino.

To bring us the next dish
of food and wine!

We will drown our bitterness.

- I'm sorry!
- It was kind of like Jack Benny, wasn't it?

Thank you.

Thank you.

You were very generous.

He looks so miserable
And he sang so badly!

Let's take a walk!
Or are you tired?

Yes, I am quite tired.

in this case,
I'll take it short.

It must have been the other way.

I'd like to take a look
if we are still here. You get upset ?

Not.

I should bring the lemmings here
when the weather gets colder.

- How quiet it is, isn't it?
- Yes.

How long will you stay in Florence?

I don't know.
I don't like to plan my life.

What does your wife have to say?

It doesn't bother her.
Everyone has his own life.

Very modern!

Are you going to marry the guy, Swift?

A very bold question from you
to a man I met tonight!

I like to confide in strangers.

I thought maybe he likes it.

You don't know Edgar Swift, do you?

Not.

But I heard a lot about him.

From the princess, without a doubt.

I will marry him.
Yes.

do you love him

Not.

You think it will be nice to be married
with a man you don't love?

i don't want love

Very strange that you say such a thing.

No, it's not weird.

I don't want love, because many years
I only experienced her humiliation.

I loved my husband desperately.

And he died of alcohol
and gambling,

leaving his debts to me
and nothing else.

- How long have you been married?
- 12 years.

They all told me not to marry him
but I didn't care.

At that time he was full of money,

but I would have married him
And if he had been poor stuck to the ground.

It was so funny
he had so many friends!

And we loved each other madly.

But, in the end, he lost everything.
He didn't have any friends anymore,

Except for the leeches
who were extorting money from him

And the women he dated
And he was crying.

I'd rather things stay that way.

At first I was terribly jealous
and I was suffering terribly.

I finally realized that, otherwise,
he would come home and want me.

With the wheezing breath of whiskey,
with a puffy face...

I knew it wasn't love that made him
to be passionate, but the drink.

Me or another woman...
it didn't matter.

His kisses made me feel...

and his desire stung me to death.

I should have left him.
But I couldn't.

Not even when I felt like you
die of shame.

Not even when
he started to be violent.

I stayed.

How could I leave, when I knew
that I was all that was left

between him and total destruction?

Thank God he was alone in the car
when he had the accident.

He was driving at 100 km/h on a wet road
And he went straight into a tree.

I got there before I died.

His last words were:
"I've always loved you, Mary."

And that broke my heart,

because, despite everything and everything,
I still loved him.

You got more than you bargained for
when did you bring me here, right?

Can you give me a cigarette, please?

Anyway, I feel much better now.

- I'm driving.
- I am not okay. I want to drive.

You were very unlucky
with your husband.

I can say one more thing
Before we close the topic?

I don't think it should
to marry Swift.

You will feel trapped, just like before.
You should wait for the one who

it can make you really happy.

Edgar will make me happy.

It's all I could wish for.
I've known him all my life.

He is strong, intelligent, trustworthy,
ambitious...

- He would never disappoint me
- He seems to be everything that I am not.

But I bet it would be a lot
easier to live with me.

I'll have to take your word for it.

It's late.
We should go.

You would still want it if it changed
problem data?

Let's say, if you were richer
than you ever dreamed

But I'm not, right?

You can't imagine what it means to depend
by the generosity of those around.

- Even if it is given from the heart.
- No, I can not.

But I know what a marriage means
devoid of love. I know how it makes you feel...

That's why you have to wait.

Until you find someone
that will set every nerve on fire,

to make you feel his mouth burning
how many times your eyes meet.

Do you remember this feeling?

It can happen...

in a moment.

You are a collector of such moments,
isn't that Rowley Flint?

Well, I won't be one of them.

as you say

But you have exaggerated a bit.

Give it a go!

All you have to do is marry your old man
who builds empires and live his curse!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, I didn't see you!
I feel very sorry.

Nothing.

Please don't be scared.
I do him no harm.

- You are the violinist at the restaurant.
- Yes.

And you are the lady who
he was so generous with me!

What are you doing here ?

I live in one of the boxes
near your villa.

- How do you know where I live?
- I always see you driving by in your car.

Speeding, in your car.

But I know you have a wonderful garden.

And a very beautiful triptych
with the Day of Judgment.

- Have you seen him?
- Not.

How to have seen him. They told me
��wounds about him.

Would you like to see the garden and the painting?

At least I'll do that much for you.
I was one step away from killing you!

It would have been my great pleasure...
But unfortunately I'm leaving Florence tomorrow.

Then why don't you come now?

Now ?

Why not ? The moon is full
the garden more beautiful than ever.

It would make me very happy.

Come on, I'll take you.

I live there.

It's great.

Come over ! I bring her a glass of wine,
then we go to see the garden.

I don't want wine, thank you.
It goes to my head.

- You haven't eaten anything, have you?
- It doesn't matter.

come to the kitchen
let's see what we find.

now i realize
I don't even know your name.

Karl Richter
student at Fine Arts.

I thought you were Italian.
It seems like a German name.

No, I'm not German.

I am Austrian.

I was, when Austria existed.

- Are you a refugee?
- Yes.

- When did you come here?
- Six months ago, after the annexation of Austria.

Some of the students

they protested against the German occupation.

We tried to organize a resistance.
It was stupid, of course.

I had no chance.

The only result was the death of two of us,
the rest of us were taken to a concentration camp.

But I escaped

And I crossed the mountains to Italy.

My family is still there.

My parents, younger sister...

I don't know if...

I have nightmares thinking about it
that the Nazis killed them because of me.

But... I don't want to think about it now.

I want to savor this dream

the fact that I'm here
food and wine,

the view of these beautiful places.

Let's go see the garden.

- It's a Viennese waltz!
- do you know how to dance?

yes i know Anyway, better
than I know how to play the violin.

Let's see!

Come over !
This way.

It's so beautiful
almost too hard to bear!

- You must be very happy here.
- I was very happy.

I'm glad
You deserve this.

You are completely different than everyone else
the people I met.

You are kind, full of compassion...

You are a beautiful person.

You should have everything you want.

I have everything I am entitled to
to hope that he could have.

I could die tonight!
I will think about this evening all my life.

Whatever happens,
I will always remember this evening.

The image of your beauty...

and the memory of this wonderful place...

I will always remember you
like a god in paradise.

And thank you.
Good night.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Who are they from?
I can't find any tickets.

I don't know, signora.

I found them at the door when I came this morning
And I put them on display.

They are wildflowers,
not from the flower shop.

It doesn't matter.

Did you have a guest last night, signora?

- Not.
- There were plates in the living room...

Yes, I left them. i'm sorry
Nina, I had to squeeze.

No problem, signora.

You are asked to introduce yourself
at 11 o'clock, at the Prefecture of Florence.

For a press release from the prefect
Leopards. Confirm attendance.

- Good day.
- What is it about ?

- We have no idea.
- Holy God!

Look at Ducky and Pussy Daltry.
I thought they had been dead for years.

Died.

Thank you for coming
this morning.

I'm sorry I had to
to summon you so quickly,

but I wanted to talk to you

Before you find out from other sources
what I wanted to tell you.

starting from monday...

all foreigners living in Florence
they will have to present themselves with their identity documents

and record his name and address
at the police station, weekly.

Please!

Please, don't be alarmed!

Apart from the fact that it will help the police a lot,

this measure will ensure your safety
how long have you been here, in the City of Lilies.

This is all.

Are there any questions?

Why ?

It's Rowley Flint.

Why is it safer for us to know
the authorities all the time where are we?

I didn't want to alarm you by entering
in details regarding our decision.

But since you asked,
I'll tell you, Mr. Flint.

as you know
Italy faced

with a wave of refugees and foreigners
in the last months.

Many of these people do not have papers
and no recommendation.

They left their countries of origin
And they came here expecting to be fed,

Dress them up, let them be given jobs.

What they won't get out of hand,
these undesirable persons

they will get it through robbery and violence.

And this cannot be tolerated.

It cannot be tolerated!

It's our way of conveying
a message to the vagabonds,

informing them that they are not welcome in Florence.

Did I answer your question Mr. Flint?

Good.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

I think you will find them in the foyer
tea and sandwiches.

did you get the flowers

- Did you send them to me?
- Yes.

In fact, I collected them.

I woke up walking
in the early hours of the morning.

I'm sorry.

Did you go up to the villa?

I wanted to make sure you arrived
welcome home.

I saw the car in front of the villa,
so I knew that everything was in order.

I thought of throwing pebbles
In your window, but I changed my mind.

And I left the flowers at the door.

It must have taken him hours
to return to the city.

I had time to think.

No one has ever done this to me before,

to leave me to hell on holiday,
in the power of the night.

- I'm not proud of what I did.
- Me neither.

Of what I did
or I tried to.

You were right to correct me.

And thank you very much for the flowers.
They are very beautiful.

I enjoyed it.

I'm having dinner today with some friends,

at a small restaurant in town.
I would love to have you come.

I can't, I'm sorry.

Come on.

I'd love to, but...

I think it would be unwise.

Just as friends.
It's an olive branch.

Please come !

No, I can not.
I can't come.

No mistakes, I promise.

Please, leave me alone!

If you tell me that's what you want.

Yes, that's what I want.

I'm staying at the Bristol Hotel,
in case you change your mind.

I won't change my mind.

Princess San Ferdinando
he called again, signora.

I told him you would talk to him
with her in the morning��.

Thank you.

I locked everything except here.
You need something else.

No, go to bed, Nina.

He returns in two days, signora.

Yes, I know.

- Go to sleep.
- Yes.

- Carl!
- Yes.

What's up with you at this hour?

It's all right, the maid went to bed.

And I adore you!

Karl, you can't stay here! You have to go.
You are not safe.

My dear, I have been waiting
all day to see you.

To make me so happy.

I'm glad

I thought you were supposed to leave today
from Florence.

I stopped.

How could I leave
knowing you here?

You gave me a reason to live!

No, please don't do that!

We can't do this!

I thought you misunderstood.

We can't see each other anymore.

I am not free.

I will have to leave soon.

I think I'm getting married.

I'm afraid it's impossible to see each other again.

But I have to see you.

Otherwise I will die!

It was an unwritten agreement.

Please, it's impossible.

But I love you !

don't you love me

Not.

Then why did you take me?

Because I wanted to give him something
that will make you happy.

I felt my heart full
of tenderness and mercy.

I didn't ask him
have mercy on me!

Why didn't you leave me alone?

You showed me paradise...

and now you want to throw me back to hell?

Not...

It was stupid, I made you suffer.
I feel very sorry.

If there is anything I can do to make up for my mistake,
I'm ready to do it.

What are you doing ?
are you offering me money?

How much money do you have?

Two, three thousand pounds.

They are enough to get you to Switzerland.
You will be safe there.

It always has to be
do you pay the arrears?

Do you think I'll settle for a few pounds?

I will take the bracelets and the pearls
that you were wearing

- They are in the drawer over there.
- I don't want them!

I could come to terms with the Nazis,
if I wanted money.

He would no longer be an outcast
forced to starve.

I wanted to do a good deed,
but I think I did him a disservice.

If I offended you,
if i made you suffer

I apologize.

- I just wanted to do a good deed.
- You...

You are a woman of nothing
trândav, prey of pleasures!

What good have you ever done since you know yourself?

- I'm sorry, believe me...
- You made a mistake.

- You are right, now I understand this.
- A big mistake!

It is very risky to bring
unknown men in the house.

I thought you were a god��...

but you're just a whore.

Maybe it would be good to cut it off...

to prevent you from harming them
And to others as you did to me.

I could do it.
Who would ever suspect me?

If you don't leave now, I'll shoot!

If you take one more step, I'll shoot!

Shoot !

You think that life means
something for me

You would relieve me of an unbearable burden.

Shoot fast!

Shoot.

I forgive you for everything.

Shoot !

Don't you have courage?

Poor child.

How stupid you are!

Very stupid, unmarried!

Come over.

You don't have to play with men...

that's how you played with me.

Forgive me.

You asked me not to forget.

I will forget.

- But you, no.
- Please, don't do that.

What happened?

Is everything in order, signora?
I thought I heard a noise.

I didn't hear anything.
Go to sleep.

Yes... signora.

How did you get here so quickly?

The night porter was sleeping.
I took his bike.

What is it about ?

Please don't say anything.
Come over.

who is it

I don't know.
I have never seen him before.

What happened?
Did he commit suicide?

Do you think I killed him?

I don't know.
What happened?

For God,
don't ask any more questions.

- Is it his gun?
- Not.

is it yours

- It's Edgar's. He left it to me.
- I understand...

and how did he get there?

You need to get yourself together and tell me
exactly what happened.

- Did he do something to her?
- No, but I thought that was what he had in mind.

It was terrible.
I was so afraid.

- We have to notify the police.
- No, we can't do that!

We can not.

I knew him.

He was the violinist at the restaurant
from last night.

Oh gosh !

What a scandal it would be!

Edgar... He would destroy Edgar!

Sit down and tell me
what happened

Last night I was one step away
run him over with a car.

We talked. picture frame,
from my garden...

And I felt sorry for him

and I invited him here.

And finally, I have...

I don't understand.

No, you don't understand!

He was so lonely and unhappy.

I thought I was doing a good deed.

I thought it was going to kill me...

But he didn't.
He committed suicide.

He wanted to kill me.

If you keep your wits about you,
you will get away with it.

Otherwise, it's over!

You were sleeping.

When you woke up you were a man.

Obviously a ho�.

He had a gun.

It was a struggle,
and the gun discharged.

You killed him, he killed himself...
It doesn't matter.

Lary, he wasn't a thief.

I did them bad enough without throwing them away
Such a wonderful life!

no matter what you say
it's not like you killed him.

If you say you killed him legitimately
defense, I think you will escape. Or...

When he felt cornered, he was afraid
that your screams will wake the servants

and he committed suicide.

No, Nina heard the shot.

He came to my door and asked me
if something happened, and I told him no.

I will tell the police
if he will be asked.

Why did I have to do this here?

That's it.

It must appear that he did not kill himself here.

how?

We're moving the body. They won't be able to
make no connection between you and him.

put something on
then come help me.

Help me.

If you keep your wits about you,
everything will be fine.

Get in the car.

Come here! They will believe
that we are some lovers.

It's good here.

I'll take you to the gate.

Let's go.

Soon it will light up.
I'd better go.

- I'll take you to the gate.
- Not.

Go home and be sure to wipe
all traces, then go to sleep.

Tomorrow you will have to be
charming as always.

I can not imagine
that there will be another tomorrow!

You will feel better after you get some sleep.
You're going to Lulu Good's picnic, right?

I won't be able to!
I'll call to tell him I'm not feeling well.

You have to go and be
the most carefree man in the world.

In the unlikely event
that suspicion will fall on you

there must be nothing in your conduct
to indicate a charged consciousness.

don't you understand

I'll take this.

And Swift's gun.
I'll clean it and bring it back tomorrow.

If I vote to find the body,
won't they ask where the gun is?

No, because I'm going to the forest now,

I will fire my gun
And I will leave it next to the corpse.

Swift was right. It's good to have
a weapon at your place in Italy today.

But he is so fair!

He certainly registered the weapon
upon entering the country.

My gun is the "unofficial" version.
It is impossible to find out who it belongs to.

You thought of everything, Rowley!

Seriously, I don't know
how could I thank him!

Will do anything for a friend.

But...

I especially enjoyed it
to do it for you

- Go to sleep !
- You will be here tomorrow, won't you?

Unless something more interesting comes along.

Kidding. I will be here.

- Be careful, please!
- Don't worry about me!

The devil is a workaholic,
he cares about his people.

What ?

It's very late.
It's almost 12 o'clock.

I tried to wake you up earlier.
Princess San Ferdinando must arrive.

I couldn't fall asleep after that
why did you wake me up

so I had to take some pills.

I am very sorry, signora.
I heard a noise

And I thought to see if
everything is fine with you

There must have been a car on the road.

At night the noises can be heard far away.

Yes.

You have a telegram,
it arrived this morning.

Thank you.

The train from Rome arrives at 6.45.
Best thoughts, Edgar.

Oh, Mary, you won't guess what happened!
They found a body on the way to Collosus!

and that's not all!
I knew the individual!

I arrived just as they were removing the body
from the forest and the sheet slipped.

What a terrible image!
He was mutilated and full of blood.

- Terrible!
- Yes, terrible.

Shot straight through the heart.

- Do you know who he was?
- Yes.

The owner of the house where he was staying found him
when he went to the forest to set traps.

He lived in the house near the villa
to the Rothmans, where Mary lives.

He was a violinist at the restaurant
to Peppino, in town.

The one I went to a few evenings ago.

He is the one who sang to us so terribly.

Isn't that so, Mary?

- Yes, he didn't sing very well.
- You are very indulgent.

If he had sung so badly,
I would have been shot!

Seriously, I got it, it's not the best joke.

Yes, I think you are right.

The truth is that this story makes me
to feel quite stupid.

I did so much back then,
That Peppino said he was firing him.

And today I found out that he was a refugee.

What a shame.

He had an interesting face, didn't he, Mary?

I didn't pay much attention to it.

someone gave him

for Peppino says he received it
a bill of one hundred lire.

I thought you were the only one
so nice of you to do that.

Well ?

Yes, I did it.

I gave him money for that
I felt very sorry for him.

You are so good, Mary!

Too good, maybe.

From now on, everyone will expect big tips.

You did him a great favor.
The last thing he did

was to pay the owner
all the money he owed for the house and board.

Then he committed suicide.

Would you like some water, my dear?

Did the policeman say he committed suicide?

Yes. I know this right from the source.
His hand was on the gun.

Can we talk about something nicer?

Lulu, thanks for a wonderful picnic.

You were fantastic!

You should feel relieved, not sad.
The police suspected absolutely nothing.

How to feel relieved, when
the only thing I can think of

it's that poor boy, lying unburied,
under the clear sky ?

I would like to know at least why he did it.

Men do a lot of stupid things.

Especially the young ones.

You showed him how beautiful the stars are,
then you threw it away in a year.

I'm not that special.

And even if it was, you would have expected it
to have killed me, not to commit suicide.

You are right.

In his place, I would not have killed myself.
I love my life too much.

The boy wants to die.

I think if it wasn't for you,

there would have been someone else or something else
which would have pushed him to take this step.

I'm trying to make you feel better.

That's the best explanation I can find.

Whatever the explanation,
everything comes down to one thing in the end:

he is dead and all we can do
we regret this

And let's be glad we weren't caught
while we get rid of the body.

I can tell him now that it's over.

If we were caught,
I don't know if we could have proved it

that not one of us did it.

Why would you have killed him?

The fertile imagination of an Italian politician
he could find dozens of reasons.

I don't have a very good reputation
as far as women are concerned.

And how you are an almost perfect specimen
of a beautiful woman,

as we could prove
that there is nothing between us?

Maybe I caught him in your room
And I killed him in a fit of jealousy.

Or maybe he got us
In a compromising position

And I killed him to defend his honor.

People do stupid things like that.

What you did by helping me
it's just as crazy.

What is life without a touch of risk?

Basically, that's what it all boils down to, right?

In the last 24 hours we have had
of adventure as much as for a human life.

I come to the villa around 4,
to bring his gun.

Is that good?
I cleaned it perfectly.

Thank you.

What's up with the little tete-a-tete?

If you are not attentive
rumors will start to circulate.

You know very well that she has never cheated on you,
caught.

Good.

I fell asleep... What time is it?

Good evening Mr. Panton.

I apologize for bothering you.

Good evening Signor Leopardi.

Excuse me for coming unannounced...
but i need to talk to you

Sure.

I see you are waiting for someone
you won't be long.

Would you like to come to the salon, please?

Of course.

- Take a seat, please.
- Thank you.

Mister. Flint says you gave him this gun.

Really?

It was found on him today
when he was stopped on the street.

It is by Sir Edgar Swift.

He recorded it a few days ago
upon entering the country.

But you already know that, right?

Yes.

Sir Edgar gave it to me before
to go to Rome,

and I, in my turn,
I lent it to Mr. Flint.

Why did you do that?

For his safety.

Given the places I walk through,
he needs it more than I do.

I'm afraid I wasn't
just honest with you

Flint didn't say you gave him the gun.

Actually. On the contrary.

He claimed to have bought the gun
from the street in Florence.

Ms. Panton, please tell me...

Has Flint involved you in any illegal activity?

I'm sorry I misled you.

But I knew Flint was lying...
And I had to find out what was going on.

You have no reason to fear me.

I admire you enormously.

But please tell me the truth.

Otherwise I'll start thinking like Flint
And you are hiding something.

I have nothing to say.

I assume that Mr. Flint knows
that it is not exactly legal

lend firearms to a friend
And he tried to protect me.

I'm sure you will tell her
what I told you, you will recognize everything.

I'm sure Flint never defended it in his life
nobody but himself.

I have known him for many years

And I can tell you
that he is a man without principles,

no moral sense, nothing of that kind.

He is the exact opposite of an honest and upright man
from the new Italy.

It seems like his easygoing way of being

still has passage to
waitresses and saleswomen.

Maybe you don't agree with his behavior,
but that doesn't make him a criminal, right?

No, but this gun makes it simple
to dispute that it would not be.

- Where is Mr. Flint now?
- in prison.

I think we'll keep him there

at least until Sir Edgar Swift comes.

When will he return?

- Tomorrow.
- Good.

Tell him to report to my office.

- I would like to talk to him about all this.
- He won't have anything to say.

Sir Edgar knows nothing of this matter.

This is where you get lost.

lending you his personal weapon,

Swift breached the trust given
by our government and his.

What he did is illegal,

and the British officials
I am not above the law

not in Italy at least.

What exactly are you hiding from me?

Nothing.

Don't take me for a fool, Mrs. Panton.

Because I'm not.

If you change your mind
and you decide to tell me,

you can come to me anytime.

No need to lead me.

Mary! I almost lost you.

You are not even dressed! We're counting on you
let's play a game of doubles.

I'm sorry, I can't play.
My head hurts.

Is it because of the weather?
Probable.

You saw the princess
San Ferdinand?

Let's go back to the match.
Come on!

Let's win at least one range.

- Good, bad!
- Hello!

It's hot, isn't it?

- What do you want to drink?
- Only tonic water.

- With just a splash of gin.
- Very refreshing.

Would you like another glass?

Two.
With pleasure, two.

Drink, Prince.
The ice melts.

Thank you.

Then she was the wife of the party leader
who fled with the English driver.

God, what a story!

They took the Bugatti at night
And they fled to the south of France.

- How romantic.
- She was Leopardi's wife, right?

Protect the saint
Who would marry him?

Anyway, he has held this position for about 10 years
and this story is much older.

No wonder he didn't get married.
He didn't want to risk it.

Exact.

He is the modern man of the new Italy.

He has no dirty secrets.

It won't go that far.

It is the embodiment of integrity, right?

If only the buffoons from Rome knew
what did Leopold do, he would shoot him in an instant!

Really?

It is very hard for me to believe this.

It's just a rumor, but listen...

No building was erected in Florence
In the last 10 years without him having received his share.

- He must have made millions.
- and why was nothing found?

There is no bad evidence.

No proof.

And how you prevented Leopardi
to deport the doctor?

You couldn't do it
In the absence of evidence, right?

You're not just a pretty girl, are you?

Me neither.

What does it matter, anyway
you will be leaving soon.

Cecil Budminster told me what happened.

The man had a marble quarry in Carrara.

one fine day, three years ago,
Cecil appeared at my door.

He had a package in which there were documents
which proved all things.

He gave it all to me.

The poor man was already dying and had no more
needed them, where he was going.

It's just a pile of papers with rivets
seals and signatures.

But if only one is enough
in the wrong hands,

it was said with Leopardi.

So, when they wanted
to deport Cohen,

I sent to Leopardi
one of the papers.

Anonymous of course

along with a note.
It worked perfectly!

Wonderful!

Yes. Was...

If the Nazis will run away
step by step in Italy,

I think I will have to take it out again
about two papers

from my office
to save my skin.

God, I've had enough
of Italian opera!

Mary, did you want to drink me?
I'm totally giddy.

- Seriously ?
- Yes. Hello !

Mary, where are you going?

Come later, Mary!

Flowers for the prince.

Mary, what are you doing here?

I saw lilies of those that he likes a lot
And I bought her a bouquet.

I'm on the desk in the bedroom.

There was no need.
The hotel terrace is full of flowers.

I fell prey to a little whim.

I can't say anything
when it comes to a whim, right?

Do you want to stay, r��u�co?
I have to get some sleep.

No, I have to go.
But thank you.

Ms. Panton!
I'm glad you changed your mind.

I came to ask you to release him
Mr. Flint.

Why would he do this?

Because he didn't do anything wrong.
He only tried to defend me.

You told me this before.
Take a seat, please!

Don't touch me!

To well.

I want you to release him immediately
on Mr. Flint.

You know, after our discussion yesterday...

I checked the firearms incidents
from the last 3 days.

There were only two.
A jealous husband

who shot his wife in the leg
and an armed robbery.

The only other notable incident
it was a suicide.

It caught my attention because
it happened near your villa

I don't know where you want to go
And I don't even want to know.

I don't understand.

No, I don't think you understand.

- Where did you get it?
- It doesn't matter.

It is important to know

but there are many other documents
similar, well hidden.

If you care about your career, you should
take this job very seriously.

It doesn't represent anything, I can explain that...

Perfect.

This is how business is done in Italy.

Seriously ? Even in the new Italy?

Do you think the Duke will agree to this?

You are just a damn blackmailer!

And what are you, if not a thief
who stole from his own people?

Out!

I'm not leaving here without Mr. Flint.

Good !
Take your friend and go!

I want the gun too,
if you are kind.

Hey! Get up!

How did you get in here?
What did you tell them?

Hey! Come over ! Get out!

- do I let go?
- I'll explain later.

Let's go.
I'll take you to your hotel.

how are you feeling

Hungry.

It's 5 o'clock, I should go back to the villa.

Edgar is coming back tonight.

He must have arrived already.

Mary, be mine!
Please stay here!

I want to do it.

I want so much.

But I don't know.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I destroyed everything.

I did something terrible to him
to that boy.

I put you in mortal danger.
And Edgar...

I don't want to make things worse.
I have to think at my leisure.

Not to do the first thing
that crosses my mind.

That's the problem,
that you are thinking at your leisure.

You cannot live from one day to another

letting yourself be guided by feelings?

We can get on a train tomorrow...

let's see where it takes us.

I can't be with a man like you
Rowley.

I need someone I can count on
until death.

And you are married!

What kind of life would we lead?

We would feel good.

I love you.

Not enough ?

Yes, but what will happen?
when will you return to your wife.

Or will someone else appear in your life?

I'm not going back to my wife.
That's all I can tell him.

But I can't promise them with my hand on my heart
that it will be for life.

But can anyone do it?

Edgar can.

Then you should marry him.

You're right about me, Mary.

I'm made for good times.

That's what I am.

He would never be able to offer guarantees.

Exactly, that's why
I don't even ask him for that.

We are not made for each other.

I think not.

i have to go

I think it's better this way.
Do not you believe ?

Sure.

- Bye, Mary.
- Very well.

Mary, my dear!
What are you doing ?

Very good.

- That would be wonderful!
- How was it in Rome?

Very good, thank you.

- What have you done?
- Am I going too fast?

Lord Seafair said

that it is important to put in this function
a conciliatory man

but at the same time firm

And it was kind of me to say
that you don't know man

which combines these qualities
better than me.

- He is perfectly right.
- It was extremely flattering.

As you know, it was a long road.

And it is a great satisfaction
to be so close to the top.

But, you know Mary, the joy with which I await everything
this activity and the honor that accompanies it

they wouldn't be nearly the same

if he didn't hope
that you will share them with me.

You promised me
that you will give me the answer today.

Edgar, I have to tell him something...
And I'm afraid it will disappoint you terribly.

What ?

I want you to listen to me
without interrupting, okay?

Yes.

That night I didn't know what to do.

I didn't have many options. don't you understand

So he stayed overnight.
the whole night.

And the next day...

I was sitting in my room and I woke up with him.

Maybe I shouldn't have told him.

But I couldn't marry you
without doing that.

It would have stayed on my conscience forever.
He would not have had peace for a moment.

I feel very sorry.

I think I love you long enough
to understand and forgive you.

You are a romantic girl!

I understand perfectly what you did.

It was the only thing that
you could do it, under those conditions.

Do you still want to marry me?

Did you really think he would leave you in need?

He won't do that, my dear.

I want you to be my wife.
Career is not everything.

What do you mean?

That changes things a bit.

I can no longer accept the job
from India, it wouldn't be right.

If he knew about this story,
the effect would be disastrous.

Don't worry, my dear.

I will tell them that I am getting married
And I can't go to India.

I will no longer be able to offer him the position
which I hoped to give her,

but there is no reason
for which we could not feel wonderful.

You can't give up everything because of me!
Why would you do this ?

Listen to me. This position would require me
all attention and concentration.

If you accepted it now, you would be tense all the time.
Fearing that something might be found out.

What could be found now?

Do you forget that it is not only your secret?
Flint is also involved in this story.

Rowley would never say anything.

He could confide in a woman.

He would tell one, then another...

before you know it
rumors would reach India.

It is far too interesting a story
not to brag about her.

No, Edgar.
You are mistaken.

You misjudge him.

I know he is rebellious and thoughtless.
If it weren't for that,

he would never have taken the risk to save me.
But I know I can trust him.

He would never let me down.
He would rather die.

You are so naive!

Let's not argue.
I have to be fair.

It is crucial to never say never
nothing bad about me and my wife.

The situation in India depends to a great extent,
by the prestige of our officials there.

If I am forced to resign because of it
a scandal, serious consequences could be reached.

No, I have to
which I am convinced is correct.

Edgar, we can't think only of ourselves.

They need you in India.

He couldn't live with the thought
that you gave up that post,

when your presence is so important.

It would seem a weakness.

- There is nothing left to do.
- Sure.

You don't have to marry me.

You are a wonderful man...

But I don't love you.

I know I'm older
than you have many years...

But we hope that the advantages
that I can offer them

to compensate
at least partly this shortcoming.

I find it extremely bad
if what I have to offer

not enough
to accept me as a wife.

No way, that's not what it's about.

You fell in love with a girl
to whom you gave chocolates

And let yourself be enchanted
of her childish innocence.

But I'm not that child anymore.

I'm far from perfect!

Now you know this

And that's why nothing will be
the same between us.

And that's why I can't marry you.

If you wish, my dear...

It seems that it is no longer needed
let's discuss this topic.

It's pointless, isn't it?

I will leave for London tonight.

Maybe it would be better
let's say goodbye now.

Goodbye, Edgar! and forgive me!

Good, bad!

Good.

I kept calling you, but you didn't answer me,
that's why I came here.

- I see you're leaving.
- Yes.

And Sir Edgar?

He left.

With his tail between his legs, it seems.

You turned him down.

We decided not to get married,
that's all i have to say.

How discreet you are!

The other day, in the garden, I gave him a piece of advice
very good. I told her to marry him.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Actually, after that discussion I was thinking
to do what my common sense dictated
And to marry Sir Edgar.

But then something happened
that changed everything.

What ?

Rowley Flint.

You turned down Sir Edgar Swift
for Rowley Flint?

What an unwise decision!

You denied him a life that would have brought him
everything you could ever want,

for a married man who will leave you
In the moment when something better will happen.

I'm not as practical
what are you

No, but he wouldn't have believed you
not really bad either.

We all make choices in life, Mary.
You made a mistake.

You are right, but the fact that I refused him
Sir Edgar was not a wrong choice.

What does that mean?

That evening, at your party, I knew
that Rowley is the right man for me.

But I was very determined not to admit it.

to the same extent...

That I slept with another guy.

And remember that you told me about your adventure
with that poor and lonely man...

Yes.

That's what I thought when I brought him here
the guy with the violin at Peppino's restaurant.

Just like you,
I had a one night stand.

But unlike your boyfriend,
mine came back, and when I told him yes
I don't want to see him anymore, he shot himself.

He committed suicide here, in this room.

I took his body to the forest, so he wouldn't find out
no one ever what happened.

Who else knows about this?

Edgar...

Rowley, and now you. You can tell whoever you want
I don't want to hide from the truth anymore.

You know, the story I told him
about my boyfriend...

I gave birth to her.

You will come to see me in my furnished country house
from Balham or who knows where?

Only if there's a war, honey.

In which case I might have to
to come and stay with you.

"Heart, what a lot you have to live,
in a world that has seen a lot,

Make room from the path of good and evil.

Laugh, heart, again, in the gray twilight,

Heart sighs again,
in the dew of dawn".

Yeats.

Everything will be fine with you.
I'm sure.

I don't want you to wait.

You shouldn't even be seen with me.

Don't worry about it, bad boy.

Unlike you,
I don't have a reputation to lose.

Do you need help ?

I'm going to Paris. you?

To London. I change the train in Paris.

Come over !

Do you have a compartment?

No, my place is here.

- did you know that I will be on this train?
