Original subtitles

Don't follow me...

Stop!

What the hell do you want from me...

Why did you attack me?

- I haven't attacked anyone. - Nonsense!

You killed Samanta last night. And you tried to drown me!

I haven't done anything. Neither to you nor to her!

You fainted.

I found you on the river bank.

You were not responding.

No it is not true. It didn't happen that way!

If I wanted to hurt you, I would have done it already.

What were you doing in the woods?

I came here into the woods because...

because I believe that girl Samanta,

came here, before being killed...

- Here? - Yes, here.

And while I was here, a person with their face covered

suddenly came out and started chasing me...

This is where my girlfriend died... Eleonora.

The last time I saw my mother was here.

Stop! Stand still!

Stay where you are!

- Nina. - Don't move...

- Are you ok? - Yes, everything's all right.

- Did he do something to you? - No, he didn't do anything to me.

- Turn around, hands behind your back. - I told you he didn't do anything!

Did you hear what she said?

Quiet, you'll explain at the police station...

Walk, come on.

The university called us to report your absence...

Last night, I was attacked.

And he found me...

Nina, this bastard found you because he followed you.

He asked for information about you, to Curcio.

That's why the professor called us.

INTO THE WOODS

Someone attacked me yesterday.

It is eight twenty-seven.

I just got back to the car an found a red anemone inside.

I don't know who left it, or what it means.

Can you tell me what is it that you want from Nina Ferrari?

I don't want anything from anyone...

- Do you know whose daughter she is? - Yes.

And I don't care at all.

Listen to me well.

If I put my hands in your shitty shed and find what I'm looking

I swear I'll shred to pieces that place.

Is there anything you want to tell me before I find something?

So?

Santini...

- Move! - Santini...

Wait up. It is not necessary.

Do you play 'good cop' now?

Pucciarelli! Barbo!

Go, walk...

It's a difficult time, Pietro.

But you'll see that with the new drug trial,

things will be better.

And since when do you decide without notifying me?

I'm working for the company's benefit...

Oh yes...

I need talk to you for a moment, please...

Oh well, Oreste was leaving, right?

Yes, sure.

Hello. - Hello

Dad, that's where I have my mother's last memory.

And it seems absurd that it's right there where they tried to kill me...

- Kill you?! - Yes.

What are you saying, Nina?

Dad, I was attacked last night...

Attacked? And by whom?

I don't know...

maybe it's the same person who killed that girl...

and maybe the same person who killed mom...

No... Nina you... you frighten me.

You should be scared dad.

No, no, you don't understand...

Come with me.

These are letters from your mother.

She kept writing me for years...

after she was gone.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

Because... ...to protect you.

But from what? From what?

From her words.

Listen Nina...

Nina, tell me what really happened in the woods.

Are you still taking the drugs?

Dad, those drugs have nothing to do with anything... nothing.

If these are mom's letters, where has she been?

Where?

I don't know... I don't know.

I was never able to find her...

Keep them if you want...

but they will hurt you.

Where are you going?

I'm coming... there... I got you...

And now, I will not leave you anymore...

Go and look for another hiding place.

But if I were you, I wouldn't go into the woods anymore.

If you're letting me go, it means you haven't found shit!

Could be...

Next time I'll come and see you.

I will be here.

Corso... I'm sorry for what they did to you.

That's not my system. I don't work like that.

But if I see you near Nina...

I'll take care of you.

Childhood traumas are related to those of adulthood...

... and they are often triggered by concrete events...

like... like a loss, a mourning, for example,

or... or maybe abandonment...

And so, the therapist's job is this.

It's... to go back to this trauma,

that in children expresses through elements

that for them are more understandable,

such as a... an object,

or maybe a place or, for example, their imaginary monster...

it's like an emotional labyrinth of which

it is necessary to find the key...

Because... because if this maze remains

unsolved in the child's psyche,

it will force the adult personality to rotate,

to wander around this trauma,

without actually managing to solve it...

And above all, without really remembering

what it is that generated it.

Pietro, your daughter was found in the woods,

along with Alessandro Corso.

Listen Diego...

I have to ask you a favor...

Pietro, I can't guard your daughter.

Nina is the only thing I have left.

I ask you as a friend...

And so you'll be following her

and protecting her even when she grows up...

I can't, and I don't want to do it.

I don't care what others might say...

'a mother who abandons her daughter'.

I don't care.

She is not enough to keep me close to you.

You know: not everyone is able to be a parent...

Yes, but why?

Why is my memory of her is so different...

What memory do you have of her?

Of a sweet, affectionate person.

And that's what drives me crazy because...

...because she is not the woman in these letters...

I understand you.

In these few days your life has been torn upside down.

But you see Nina, you have to give yourself respite.

Listen, let's do something, talk to me about the drugs you're taking.

Ah Massimo, come on...

- Tell me about... - But I take a very low dosage.

They never gave me trouble. Really...

I was just thinking that...

we could try to suspend them gradually...

- Massimo, you're not my doctor. - Ah, I know that.

And you're not my patient, it was just a proposal...

Is that how you met Alessandro Corso?

Was he your patient?

No... I conducted the psychiatric evaluation during his trial.

The defense had based its strategy of the murderous kidnapping,

fed by a schizoid and aggressive personality.

And... you confirmed this hypothesis?

No. On the contrary.

In my opinion, Alessandro Corso was very lucid.

And if he killed his girlfriend, and I repeat if...

if he killed her, then he did it fully aware.

I don't want to accuse anyone...

I really don't accuse anyone...

but I was very worried about you.

- Thank you. - You are welcome.

Mrs. Giulia...

I need to talk to you, please.

Get out. I have nothing to say to you.

After twenty years you owe this to me.

It's about Eleonora...

You shouldn't even name her...

Your daughter had one of these, remember?

No...

She began to wear it a few days before her death.

I don't remember.

She told me it was his gift. Is it true?

Please, it's important.

The girl who died two days ago was wearing one...

But why do you keep torturing us?

don't you think what you've done is enough?

I loved Eleonora...

But she didn't love you back! She was about to leave you and you know it.

You were nothing for her.

That's why you killed her!

Get out. I never want to see you again.

Your daughter was different. You didn't know her.

Tell me the truth! What are you afraid of?!

Look at me, tell me!

Who knows what happened to that girl...

I don't know what happened...

I only know that university is disgusting.

I think it's not the university...

it's the damn world that they live in, that's the problem.

What do you know about it?

I don't know. It's what I think.

What the hell do you know?

Danièle, I told you I don't know...

you've heard what the rumors say, right? You know them...

No, I don't know them, Timo... and neither do you.

If I come to know you've started again...

I'll kill you. Do you understand? I'll kill you...

I am pleased with your decision.

Leaving the campus was a very wise choice.

Everyone was asking too many questions.

Talking to De Michelis

I understood there was too much pressure around.

When do you think you can start again?

Immediately.

Good.

Piece of shit...

I can't and I don't want to do it...

I don't care what others might say...

'a mother who abandons her daughter'. I don't care.

Not everyone is able to be a parent...

I told you not to follow me...

These are letters from your mother.

Keep them but they will hurt you.

Mom...

Miss... we have to close. Please hurry.

Nina...

Luca... What's up?

It's about you.

You don't realize you're at risk...

We don't know what Corso had in mind

and we don't know what he has in mind now...

Yes, but he is in jail now, right?

No not anymore. We released him.

We didn't find anything in that shack...

That's why I'm here.

If you see him, you must call me.

Luca, tell me the truth.

You really believe he attacked me last night?

I don't want anything to happen to you...

Thank you.

- Good night. - Good night.

Wait, wait, wait...

Drink.

"Many people remember the furious quarrels between

the poor Eleonora and Alessandro Corso,

violent boyfriend and with a criminal record... "

"Yet there are still numerous mysterious aspects

in the reconstruction of the murder... "

Cesare Fanti...

The fear I felt at that moment has been conditioned and fed

from what everyone told me about him...

that he was a dangerous person...

yet more and more it seems to me that Alex

is just the answer to what he has tried...

Where are we?

I brought you home.

What happened?

Don't you remember anything?

We were at your house... and then...

Then... you were splendid.

- Really? - Yes.

Come here.

What are you doing? Running away?

And from whom? From you? Eh...

You better be careful, bastard...

"Stay away from my sister, do you understand?"

But damn you go...

You think you can do whatever the hell you want?

Now go and back off...

I don't want to see you again.

I spent the night thinking about what you said about Corso...

I will not let him hurt you...

Who arrested him twenty years ago?

The assistant chief Santini.

He has told the story a hundred times...

And it is always him who found the evidence?

Yes. And apparently, they were quite obvious.

Corso was guilty...

But not everybody thinks so, you know?...

There is a journalist...

a certain Cesare Fanti who has

a slightly different take on this story...

Cesare Fanti?... Never heard of him.

In any case, he was following a track that exonerated Corso...

You know how the newspapers work...

In fact, I'm not telling you he's right...

it's simply that maybe it hasn't been heard enough.

You are asking me to reopen a murder case

for which the guy has already done twenty years in prison,

without saying anything?

Shall we go? Come on...

- Bye. - I'll call you later.

Viviana.

I was right not to trust appearances.

What you saw doesn't mean anything.

Well, I would say your marriage with Ferrari does not mean anything...

... since it's just a way to get to his money.

I warn you, Alex... Don't you dare blackmail me...

Blackmail you? Why?

To me, you're more useful inside the villa.

I know that Nina is investigating.

And she will certainly inform her father of every discovery.

Don't do this Alex... What do you think you're doing?

I want you to keep me posted.

Whatever Nina should find out...

Here is where you can find me.

Don't make me wait.

I have waited for half an hour.

Niccolò... you must have a little more patience.

You had to bring it last week.

I gave you the stuff... where's the money?

Look, I swear... a couple of days, I'll bring them to you.

You owe up to ten thousand...

I offer you a way out by doing business with me,

and you decide to trick me?...

No, but I'm going to...

I know what you think... you think you're smart...

You think I'm one of those bastards on campus, right?

I will make you regret being born...

Give me two days, please...

I am in a mess that you can't even imagine...

I don't want to have it any more. It's clear?

Did you understand what I told you?

The autopsy is conclusive: Samanta killed herself.

Damiani.

What do you know about Cesare Fanti?

- The journalist? - Yes.

He lives in a house in the woods, in the outskirts.

But why do you want to know?

Nina told me about it. Says she wants to meet him.

And why?

She told me that this Fanti had written articles about Corso...

that cleared him, proving his innocence...

- All nonsense... - That's what I told her too.

But that's not the point... It's Corso that worries me.

He's onto her and we don't know why.

And now she's also interested in him...

But do you think she will continue to follow him?

I don't want this interest in him, get her into trouble.

Don't worry...

I promised her father that... that I'd keep an eye on her.

Enough... What do you want?

I'm a teacher. My name is Nina Ferrari.

I wanted to talk to you for a moment, please.

I have nothing to say to you.

Listen, a student of mine died a few days ago...

What have I got to do with it?

Seems to me that several girls died in this place. And you know it.

Did Alex send you?

That man was in prison twenty years...

and you thought he was innocent. Tell me why...

Are you always so intrusive?

Only with those who are so surly.

May I ask you why you left the newspaper?

Bad luck.

When Alex was arrested, I had an accident.

And lost my sight.

I'm sorry...

But not all evil comes to harm, miss.

In this place to be blind and dumb,

can sometimes be an advantage.

According to you, who killed Eleonora, tell me.

Well, it was Alex, wasn't it?

Come on, that's not true, you know that.

The culprit of that murder was never found.

It may not even be the only culprit still in circulation.

What if I told you that the man tried to kill me too?

As he did with my student, Samanta...

That student was drugged. It was an accident.

Oh yes, of course. You're right... right...

An accident like yours, right?

You don't know what you're saying...

Tell me, then...

I have paid my debt, completely.

And a little girl who believes herself to be so clever

will not make me change my mind...

You're right...

Excuse me if I made you waste time...

Listen...

why are you doing all this?

Once, someone said...

where there is faith, there is also strength...

What's wrong?... What the hell is it?...

What happened?... What happened?...

Come on, come on, come on...

Oh my God!

It was there for me, damn.

He turned around, he ran over me intentionally...

It's what I feared. It was Corso...

- Are you ok? - Yes. I'm fine, I'm fine.

- Are you ok? - Yes.

Is that the truck that ran over you?

Yes, this is it.

The one that got stolen from the sawmill store tonight...

Which is not far from where he lives...

We'll think about it...

You are asking me to reopen a murder case

for which the guy has already done 20 in prison,

without saying anything?

What did you tell the police?

What are you doing?

They know it was you! They already know it!

What are you talking about?

Cesare Fanti, the truck... they know everything...

What does Fanti have to do with it?

Have you talked to him?

What the hell do you want from me?

The truth, Nina.

I'm looking for it too.

Everything they said about me and Eleonora's death is nonsense...

What does the death of Samanta have to do with that of Eleonora?

What?

Rather ask yourself what connects Eleonora's death

with your mother's disappearance.

What do you know about my mother?

You need to talk to the police. You must be careful.

The police are already aware of this.

But Massimo, I believe that Alessandro Corso is right.

Listen, on this I... really, I don't know what to say...

It seems risky to pay attention to anyone's version...

Especially now that you are in a state of alteration, Nina.

And I would like you to realize it.

I know, Massimo. But that's why I'm asking for help.

At a time like this, I need your analytical skills.

Your support.

Ok. The other day you were talking

about your mother and the woods.

Yes.

I want to know if by any chance there was...

an image, something that...

Where there is faith, there is strength.

Yes, it is the motto of our institution.

Where there is faith, there is strength.

Once, someone said

where there is faith, there is also strength...

Look, I know what I'm going to

ask you may seem a little strange,

but by chance do you remember anything

unusual that happened here, about twenty years ago?

... you are talking about '93.

... I will never forget it.

... I was the one to find her.

Her name was Carla Valenti

...she was a natural.

What happened?

That day, I came to open... and found her there.

Just under the water's surface...

She seemed to be looking at me...

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Excuse me, but what did you do next?

I immediately called for help,

but there was nothing to do.

The autopsy established that she had an illness,

but there's one thing that torments me ever since...

I could almost feel it.

Carla wanted to stop... she had changed a lot.

What do you mean 'changed'?

She was... agitated... maybe the competition

had become too demanding.

I thought that night's swim was a

farewell to the world of competitions, instead...

instead it was her farewell to everything.

Cesare... Carla Valenti, the swimmer.

It was not an accident either, was it?

Come on, tell me...

Not by phone. Come to me, later.

Calm down Jenny...

Come Jennifer...

Is anybody there?

Nina... Nina, is that you?

Leave me...

Luca... I'm at Cesare Fanti's house...

something happened here...

I don't know what... but there's something wrong.

You must come immediately... Ok...

Alex why are you here?

I have to talk to Fanti.

Wait... I think there's someone in the house...

there is someone inside.

Damn it! Cesare do you hear me?...

Cesare!

...don't trust anyone...

Cesare stay calm. I'm calling an ambulance!

They will be here. I'm calling them...

You have the same voice as your mother...

Cesare...

The police is here.

Yes. I called the police...

I can't let them find me here.

What's going on?

Honestly.

I don't know what happens Luca. I don't know.

But that man didn't commit suicide.

Do you believe me or not?

I want to believe you

but you have to tell me everything.

Cesare Fanti knew about those girls...

he knew about Eleonora, and about another student, Carla...

- Wait up... - If there is...

But what has this story got to do with you?

It has to do with my mother.

Your mother?

My mother disappeared 20 ago, and perhaps it is related.

I will try to understand what happened.

Thank you.

Why did Cesare tell me about my mother?

How did he know her?

Come.

Cesare had told me about a woman...

who found out what was happening to those girls...

My mother died here ...in this forest...

Perhaps Cesare met her, maybe they talked and they knew...

But who are they?

The same ones who killed Eleonora, Nina.

It's a conspiracy that has been going on for twenty years.

If you want to, you can stay over.

I will manage somehow...

This place has always been full of snobby little shits.

Eleonora was good... she was also very beautiful.

For them it was absurd that she was with someone like me.

Did you feel judged?

After a while, it had become a problem for her too.

What do you mean?

She had changed...

she had begun to look at me like those guys.

And then...

you know what happened.

We have to start from the year 93.

Do what's right for Eleonora and Carla...

Be careful...

Professor Minutillo...

Next to her is Professor Minutillo...

He was the same speaker...

Anybody here?

In 1993, Professor Minutillo was the

thesis supervisor of Carla and Eleonora...

Does he still work there?

No. He's no longer part of campus...

It's a bit weak as a link with what's happening today, right?...

Do you know what the hospital's been doing for twenty years?

They work for Legal Medicine. They take care of the autopsies...

And this means that Eleonora, Carla and Samanta

-...have all gone through him... - Exactly.

Alex, look there......

The important thing is that it...

Always Minutillo...

This situation can no longer continue, understood?...

All right.

...Presence of hallucinogenic substances.

Recent signs of needle puncture on the right arm...

Ah, and remember those documents...

Take them to the office. Thank you.

Hello?

Yes, I just finished... All right.

Hey... all right?

Yes. I have to see my father... right away.

Do you know who Minutillo is?

- Minutillo? - Yes.

Well yes, he was... he was a university professor.

Now he has his own clinic...

And... it was through him that I met your mother...

What are you saying dad?

Yes... she was his assistant.

And I fell in love immediately.

And so, I convinced her to come to work in the company.

Then later, well... the rest you know, right?...

So Minutillo can really be involved...

Listen Nina, I'm very worried about you, eh...

Talking about murder victims, of... a 20 year old story.

The death of Cecilia...

Dad, I'm just trying to find out the truth.

You don't have to do that!

The police should be doing it.

I should report you for what you did.

Were you with Alessandro Corso today?

I told you that Alessandro has nothing to do with it.

Luca, I thought you wanted to help me...

That's what I'm doing.

I told you that Corso is dangerous but you don't listen...

No. You don't listen.

The important thing is that the girl, Samanta was killed.

And that maybe Minutillo is involved with all this.

How can you not understand?

Listen Nina... I just got here recently.

I don't even know the story of those girls.

And you pretend me to rummage in Minutillo's past?

I'm not asking you to look into the past, only in the present.

Samanta had been drugged.

Let's start from there.

Do you think there's a drug deal on campus?

Ok. And what do I do?

Turn the student accommodation upside down?

It will do, if you know where to look...

Excuse me, can you come out for a moment, please? Thank you.

- Hi Massimo. - Hello.

Samanta, Giovanni, Betta and I met in the first year.

And until a few months ago we were always together.

And then?

And then, I don't know why you ask me all these questions...

Quite right.

I'm asking you all these questions because I think your friend,

Samanta, ended up in a bad lap and for this she was killed.

Lately she was different...

she didn't go out anymore, she snubbed us.

And why do you think that is?

Here at campus we're not all the same.

There are those like me who, gladly, are the majority.

And then... there are the others.

The others?

The children of the rich families group together.

They have the best accommodations, the best grades.

Samanta changed since she began to frequent one of them...

Where the hell have you been?

I've been looking for you since yesterday.

Niccolò...

says that if I don't bring him the money, he'll kill me.

We'll solve it. All right? I'll go there.

There are a few things I want to clarify with him.

Once and for all.

Excuse me for a moment eh...

But look who's here...

The idiots' protector...

You think you're better than me, don't you?

Well of course you do.

You have the cool bike... the designer clothes...

but for me you're still nothing...

Stop giving me a damn lecture. Ok?

Let's do this...

I'll bring you Timo's money, all right?

I see you've begun to think.

The money will clear Timo's debt...

but between you and me there's something pending, understood?

In the meantime bring me money, like a good boy would.

Then, if you want to, we'll talk about it tonight,

after you have delivered it to me, obviously.

Tell me where?

Alex...

May I?...

Alex...

What's going on?

Hey... it's okay...

Thank you.

How are you?

Better...

You also think I'm crazy, don't you?

I know what it feels to think the world is collapsing on you...

It's hard to put everything behind...

But at least you're not paralyzed by anguish...

Neither are you, I think...

you never pulled back...

What I understand is that there is a student behind this mess.

His name is Niccolò...

But if he is a student, he hadn't even born in 1993.

No, but maybe in '93 there was another student.

The truth lies within these parties that are related to the boys.

And we must find a way to attend.

Excuse me for a moment...

I've been looking for you.

Really?

I wanted to apologize...

for how I behaved with you these past days.

Finally.

- Apologies accepted. - Good.

Betta!

Are you busy tonight?

No, why?

We're organizing a party.

If you want to come...

You are a jerk! What are you laughing at?...

Oh well, what do you want?

What do I want? It's Halloween.

We order pizzas and we watch a

nice horror film like in the old times...

Ah, pizza and a movie...

No thanks. I have another commitment.

- Now, please, leave. - Leave?

Yes, leave. I have to get ready.

All right. As you want.

Good bye.

- Where are you going? - Get out!

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Niccolò Brighenti...

Nina, his family is a very well respected one...

I know, I know... he's rich, he's from a good family.

In fact, it seems to be the perfect cover.

If I'm right, will you do something?

Excuse me for a moment...

Hello?... Leonardo...

Leonardo calm down... calm down and tell me where you are...

There's... there's an abandoned house in the woods.

All right. Keep calm. I'll be there soon.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

- And now? - Betta is in there...

Let's go.

Betta, where is Niccolò?

I don't know. He stood me up.

Inspector, come and see!

Look, I already told you: you're wrong!

Be good, stay calm. Ok?...

This stuff is not mine!

Keep calm. Inspector.

When he saw us, he tried to escape.

We found this in the scooter.

Danièle, what are you doing?

... I've already told them: this stuff is not mine.

And how is it that you had it?

Inspector, look at what he had in his pocket...

Is this better than working in the workshop?

Those pills are not mine, all right?!

You must talk to Niccolò! I'm here because I had to talk to him...

We'll talk about it at the police station.

- Take him away. - Come with me.

Check their documents and send them home.

All right, inspector.

You were right but you had the wrong person.

No. I know that guy... He has nothing to do with this story...

Nina, we found pills and money on him.

You heard him: he named Niccolò, Luca...

The only boy who's not here.

A bit easy as an accusation.

Come on let's go.

No, I prefer to go back to Leonardo.

At least talk to him for a bit. Bye...

I guess you're happy, right?

Your obsession with Niccolò has led you

to perform this shitty scene...

If I'm looking for Niccolò, it's because I have good reasons.

Do you know where he is?

No, I don't know. He's not here.

Niccolò is like that.

He tells you to meet him and then he doesn't show up.

He has many girls but he's with none of them.

But you still hope that he notices you, right?

He has already noticed me.

Nico was only going out with Samanta and the Betty Blue girl...

Who? The bartender? Marcella?

Yes, her.

The sister of that idiot who was caught with drugs in his scooter.

Of course, damn it! Of course.

And what are you doing here?

I have to talk to Danièle.

You can't, he's being questioned.

It's about his sister...

Nina... you can't do as you please...

Luca why don't you understand?...

I do understand. Wait here. Sit down!

Can you pull up my zipper?

Yes sure.

We have to get rid of Nina.

That little beast is putting ideas on her dad's head...

Viviana, we can't do it...

Of course we can do it.

Only... you'll have to deal with it.

What do I have to do?

Contact Alex... and tell him everything...

I've already told you: I have nothing to do with it.

Take him away.

Danièle! I'm sorry, I'm looking for your sister.

But she is neither at home nor at work.

Slow down!

When did you last see her?

She was in her room. She had a dress... wait!

She had an elegant dress.

She probably went out with Niccolò.

Danièle...

Professor... You have to find her.

Nina...

Nina... it's about her that I want to talk to you.

I can tell you who killed Eleonora.

What the hell are you talking about?

Tell me who was it?

And no, that's too easy...

first you help me get rid of Nina.

And then, I will give you all the evidence to frame him.

Answer...

Alex it's Nina... I was right about Niccolò.

He is after another girl, Danièle's sister...

I am in the woods. As soon as you hear this message, call me please...

Marcella...

Marcell...

- Where did she go? - Over there!

Hey you! Stop!

Marcella!

Shit...

Hello... my name is Marcella Cotti... I need help...

Hey, hey, hey... heyyyy!

Marcellaa!

Ahh... help! Ahhh... help! Help!

- Yes... - Nina... where are you?

I'm in the woods. Looking for Marcella, I saw her running away.

Ahh... help! help! Noo! Noo!

Damn it!

Alex...!
