TOP MODEL

Slowpoke!
Go back to sleep!

Is Dr Schneider there?
I'm from Vanity News.

Iam sorry, but I don't think
my husband will allow this.

Why we don't ask him?

Uh, Victor!
Victor?

Please meet Miss Nadine.

Hello.

- Nice to meet you.
- The pleasure is mine.

Miss Nadine would like to make
a photo shoot in our villa.

- I already told her it's not possible.
- What is it about?

It would be for a magazine of
women's lingerie.

That's amusing!

- Miss?
- Thanks, I'm good.

- And you, Luciana?
- No, thanks.

Seriously?
I'll have some.

Good. So what you think
of my idea?

So you would translate a man's
forbidden dreams into images.

- But from a woman's point of view.
- That's right.

Let's say, like a woman dreams
to be dreamed by a man.

Miss Nadine, are you aware
you yourself are

- a man's dream?
- Thank you.

In other words,
over the next few days

our house would be invaded
by gorgeous, half-naked girls.

- Amusing!
- Yes, models for chasie erotic pictures.

Just to siimulate womanliness

- and be seduciive.
- Fine.

Eroticism is our last
ecological resource.

Nadine speaking.
I found the right place.

The Villa's owner is Mr Schneider,
the famous economist.

- The new chairman of
European banks? - Yes.

- Will he agree with this?
- That's my problem.

- You shouldn't worry about this.
- I trust you.

Girls, we're done!

Get dressed and let's go!

Nadine!
Nadine, where are you?

We're ready to go!
It's late!

- Goodbye, thank you.
- Goodnight.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye. Goodnight.

Mr Victor,
thanks for everything.

Don't go.

Why?
Why should I stay?

- Is there a specific reason?
- You told me you can play chess.

I'd love to play with you once.

No thanks,
I don't feel like it.

I'm not inviting you,
lam challenging you.

Are you afraid?
A woman like you!

- I can't believe it.
- It's a bizarre challenge.

OK, I accept it.
Let's play.

Luciana?
Miss Nadine is staying.

I challenged her to play chess.

Here it is!

Do you remember
Giacosefs "A Game of Chess"?

Yes. It's an old drama
in verse.

And do you remember the beginning?
There's a challenge.

There's a match
between love and death.

- The usual.
- That never dies.

Shall we go back
on that story?

And adjusi it to us?
What's the siake?

You.

And if I win?

Do you want me to die
like the pageboy in the story?

Why not?
Death and pleasure

- are often very close.
- True.

- The opening move is yours.
- Thank you.

Are you so sure
you're going to defeat me?

I play to win.

I will possess all of you,
Nadine.

- All at once?
- No,

no. Move after move,

whenever I capture a piece of yours,

you'll be ever more mine,
because

you'll have to obey to
a little, tender order of mine.

And how do you think
you'll win me over?

I don't mean to
win you over at all,

I mean to win you.

I'm going to do the same.

After I capture a piece of yours,

you'll have to obey to a
little, tender order of mine.

Captured.

- I'm sorry.
- I guess so.

So? What's your
first order?

Victor! You can't keep Miss Nadine
stuck to the chessboard!

- You're right!
- Come on over, I'll see you to your room.

- Thank you.
- Right. Follow Luciana, Nadine.

I'm a terrible host.
We'll have time to play.

Fine.

- So you can freshen up
before dinner. - Thanks.

You're welcome.

If you want to change for dinner,
you can borrow from me.

Thank you so much,
I hadn't planned on this.

Try this on.

It will fit you perfectly.

- What's up?
- Nothing.

Iam challenging you,
are you afraid?

It's a bizarre challenge.
I'll take it up then.

What if I win?

Do you want me to die
like the pageboy in the story?

Why not?
Death and pleasure are often very close.

I'd love to play chess with you.

What's the siake?

You.

Life and love
are often unpredictable.

You mean something in particular?

It's like a dream,
open to several interpretations

but only one is valid
in the end.

- Or only one is really meaningful, or...
- Or?

The one that
comes closesi to our desires.

So what did you dream, Nadine?

- An erotic situation...
- Tell us all about it!

If I'm not indiscrete.

- Well, I...
- Thank you Walter, please go on.

Thank you.

What did you dream, Nadine?

Was it a nightmare?

No. This is not the case.

But it is disturbing.
A man appears suddenly,

he holds me in his arms,
and then he possesses me.

It's... sexy,
it seems real.

- Real?
- It's a strange feeling,

- it scares me a little.
- Come on,

Nadine, one should not be scared
of one's feelings

or of suggestion,
don't you think?

Thank you.

I don't think
your dream is so strange,

it's a transference
of your own desires,

and one should not be scared
of one's desires.

Even when you can't tell
reality from dream?

It seems almost like they already
have experienced this together.

A strange idea.

- Everything's clear, now.
- I don't know... maybe.

Nadine? lfixed a herbal
sedative for you.

This will give you a calm sleep,
without nightmares.

Thank you, but... as I said,
it's not a nightmare.

On the contrary, it's a
very pleasant dream.

- A sweet obsession.
- Even pleasant dreams can be tiring.

It's not going to harm you anyway.
Try it.

Attagirl.
Try to get some sleep.

Goodnight.

- Luciana!
- Yes?

Why are you so kind to me?

Because Victor likes you.

- Valeria.
- Good morning, milady.

I'm sorry,
ldidn't think that...

I thought lolanda would
open the door.

I didn't know
you would be coming today.

Maybe you didn't, but
Dr. Schneider told me to come over.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

I am the secretary of Dr Schneider.
Are you the photographer?

- How do you know?
- Milady told me.

- You met her, didn't you?
- I did. Have you known her for a long time?

About two months.
Since Dr. Victor brought her here.

It's not his wife.
He's married to someone else.

- Have you ever seen his real wife?
- No.

But I know he's still
very much in love with her.

- Then why...?
- Why Luciana, you mean?

- Yes.
- He was dumped by his wife a year ago,

and he plunged in such a depression
that anything could go,

- including me.
- You?

Yes, yours truly,

but then came Luciana and I took
up again my job as secretary.

Only good for typing.

Come over
on my knees.

But we're not alone.

No excuses.
We agreed on this.

Gambling debts should be paid
at once.

And now we resume
our game.

- Trust us, Miss Valeria.
- If anything happens, tell me ASAP.

I rely on you.
You, Gerardo,

tell me anything you remember
about Ms. Luciana.

- Don't worry, Miss Valeria.
- Very well. Goodbye.

Yourturn.

I'll wait for you
in the conservatory.

You must pay your debt.

Please, take a seat.

Now I am going
to expose your breast.

Good.

"Women will be loving
and graceful to you

ready for love, but
crazy and oblivious.

My fiery sun
feeds luxurious beauty

those burning lips
are made for kissing me.

One hour of inebriation
that fades elation away."

This cup deserves a toasi
to life,

not to death.

It makes you feel
out of the game, uh?

- What if we entered the game?
- How?

Let's bet on the winner.
Who do you think will be?

Mmmh... Nadine.
That one is a winner.

- Fine. You bet on Nadine, I on Victor.
- And the stake?

If you lose,
the truth.

Which truth?

I'll tell Victor what you
used to do before you two met.

What are you saying?
This is none of your business.

But it's Gerardds and
his sis1er's business.

You want to blackmail me too?

No, I'm only betting.

If you lose,
then you tell Victor your truth.

- And if you lose?
- I'll tell my truth.

Ever wonder what
I'm doing here really?

No. I'm not interesied.

My feelings for Victor,

what I really feel for him
is above

a seedy amour
with a secretary!

Victor?

Nadine...
That one is a winner.

It makes you feel
out of the game, uh?

Out of the game, uh?
Out of the game, uh?

I'm going to pay my debt now,

even though your order is
neither little nor tender.

- Would you steal for me?
- Like what?

A gun
in your wife's drawer.

Luciana has a gun?

And what am I supposed to do
with the gun?

Kill.

Who?

No one in particular.

Just kill.
To prove that you want me

truly,
totally.

Kill.

Who?

No one in particular.

Just kill.
To prove you love me,

you want me,
truly, totally.

Kill.

Death and pleasure
are often very close.

What am I doing?
Why am I hiding it?

I can't leave it here.

I don't understand why
Gerardo didn't pick me up.

I have waited for him
all night

and then I fell asleep
in the kitchen.

I'm sorry for giving you this trouble.

Don't worry.
I'm glad to drive you.

I wouldn't know what to do anyway.
The others are still asleep.

Thank you. Please tell milady
today I'm off.

She looks nervous
these days.

- What was she like before?
- I wouldn't know.

Gerardo and I were hired
jusi a few days earlier she came.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Hello?
- Yes?

- Valeria speaking.
- So you made up your mind.

- You got the pictures?
- Not yet.

What do you mean?
It's been a month already.

- You trying to fool us?
- Just give me a little more time.

We're in a hurry!
Bring what you got.

- I'll meet you at the usual place.
- OK. Fine.

- See you.
- See you later.

Later.

- May I help you?
- Thank you. I don't know what's going on.

Let's see.
Let me check.

It may be the battery, but...

I am not sure.
I'll give you a lift with my car!

We can call a mechanic later.

Thank you.

How do you do?
My name is Giorgio.

My name's Nadine.

That's it?

I told you.
It's not easy.

- I need more time.
- Listen, sweetheart, no more excuses.

I'll give you one more week,
or else we'll do what the boss says.

No, one week is fine.

Fine. I'll contact you.
OK?

OK.

What are you doing here?
Go away!

Shut up!

- I told you to leave!
- Shut up!

- Go away!
- Come here!

Let go of me!

- Don't be shy!
- No!

Leave me alone!

Help!

You used to have a business
of call girls!

I remember.

I drove many of them
to your house.

It was well paid!

Now you'll pay me!

In kind!

Or else we'll tell everything
to your important husband!

Come on top.

Credel Co. 35.4

- Lipton 82 Morris.
- Good morning.

This is Giorgio.
He's a doctor in a village nearby.

My car broke down

- and he gave me a lift...
- Hello. Victor Schneider.

- Doctor Lai.
- Nice to meet you.

- Miss Valeria, my secretary.
- Nice to meet you.

- Is it serious?
- I can't tell.

I don't know that much
of engines.

- I called a mechanic.
- You've been very kind, doctor.

- What's up?
- Are you feeling sick, madam?

- She's fainted!
- Help me put her on the sofa.

Yes, lay her down here.

Leave it to me.
Let me feel her pulse.

I'll be back!
I'm fetching my bag from my car.

- Luciana!
- Don't worry! It's nothing.

What happened to you?
Answer me, Luciana.

Luciana!

Here we are.

Good.
It's nothing serious.

A little bit of stress, I bet.
Come on!

She should rest.
She's gonna sleep until tonight.

We should put her to bed.

- Let's take her to her room.
- Yes.

Are you feeling better?
How are you?

Come on, come on.

Get up.
Here we go. Good.

- Give me your hand.
- Get up, dear.

- Come on.
- Don't worry!

- Now stand up.
- Lean on me.

Feeling better?

Don't worry,
don't worry.

Check.

The bishop attacked!

- Does it scare you?
- No.

I'll only need to adjust my game.

I feel like you're
underesiimating my bishop.

We' ll see.
Anyway

I don't think it will stay there
for long.

Yes, you're right.

Check.

Lolanda, the doctor
will join us for dinner tonight.

Please set an extra place at table.

Iwill.

- What are you doing here?
- I'm repairing the electric system.

See you.

- Hello.
- Good evening.

What have you done?

You told the beard didn't become me.
I shaved it off.

- How do I look like now?
- You're crazy!

- Why don't you come inside?
- Of course.

- Do you find romanticism outdated?
- I didn't say that.

- Then you find it too literary.
- Maybe.

Don't you think this takes
imagination out of our lives?

I've got my own ideas
on imagination.

Thank you Walter,
you can leave now.

- So, tell me all.
- Let's go catch some fresh air.

- And take a siroll outside.
- I'd be glad to.

No, excuse me, Nadine,
we had plans together.

Our chess game is not over.

Clear undersianding breed long
friendships, right?

Victor is tormenting her
with a boring chess game.

- I'll come with you.
- Great.

- See you later.
- Shall we?

- Ah, Valeria, can I get my coffee?
- Of course, sorry.

- Here you are.
- Thank you.

- Bravo! Great move.
- This is not a football game!

- Victor!
- I apologize.

- What's happening?
- I always thought that

Gerardo didn't know much
of electrical sysiems.

They're going to bring candles
right away.

I'm sorry, Gerardo says
it will take some more time.

Darkness can be funny,
we can play games!

We could play blindman's bluff
or hide-and-seek.

Let's roam the house,
the firsi who's found

will have to pay the forfeit.

Great idea!

- Come with me.
- Why?

I know how to confuse the others
and increase the suspense.

Nadine.

I won, and these pictures
prove it.

Valeria, this game
is very siupid.

And you, Luciana,
are pathetic.

So, this is it!

I had guessed you two
had exchanged your dresses.

- Why did you drag me over here?
- Well,

because I wanted us
to be alone.

I shaved to please you,

now be kind to me.

Loosen your hair.

No.

I don't undersiand you,
Nadine.

How is it possible?

You are a cheerful,
life-loving creature.

Everything is siill,
sad, and sick here.

Why don't you do
some really original thing?

Leave with me, now.

I have already been too much
original in my life, to go on like this.

I can't.

- Fine.
- Nadine!

Nadine!

Oh, Victor.

My love.

Pretend you love me
for a minute.

Tell me you love me.

What were they doing alone,
with that Giorgio?

In the dark.

Those hands...
those hands again.

That dream again.

Yes...

I don't undersiand you.
It makes no sense to leave the game now.

Victor, it is a really
stupid game.

Stupid? How?
You're forgetting the stake.

Nadine, remember
our undersianding.

Do you know that yesterday
I stole

Luciana's gun?

You think I wouldn't be brave enough
to use it? Wait, Nadine.

If you leave the game,
I win.

So I'll get my stake.

I've come back
to bring her away.

No, I can't.

I must finish the game.

Is he obliging you
to stay?

Do you actually believe
she's staying againsi her will?

Nadine is totally free to go
wherever she wants.

But she musi pay forthe stake

- of course.
- No.

I must siay.
I must finish the game.

It's fine, Nadine.

I'm going to visit a patient.
I'll be back in an hour.

If you really mean to end this,
you'll find me outside.

Another few moves
and the game is over.

- Are you aware, milady?
- It's not over yet,

dear Valeria.
Don't cry victory now.

I am not crying victory.
I'm on your side.

- I don't understand you.
- Nadine is losing the game,

- and you are losing Victor.
- So what?

Iam offering you the option
to win the game.

In what way?

The love story between
a well-known man and a former call girl

can't last for long.

Sooner or later, he'll meet someone
else, more respectable,

more charming, younger.
And the procuress will be dumped.

She'll get back to her old life,
unless she's smarter.

What are you trying
to say to me?

That private pictures of a
well-known man with a woman like you

can be paid very, very well.

You are a cheerful,
life-loving creature.

Everything is siill,
sad, sick here.

I can't do this.

I don't want to play anymore,
I want to live!

I need to be loved,
not challenged.

There's a man outside
waiting for me.

He wants to give me his life,
not his death.

Yes, the life of a country doctor!

Well, I'd rather have that!
You don't consider me a woman,

illsi atoy!

- Giorgio...
- You want to go back?

Yes.

Fine.

Why did you come back?

Why did you come back?

Can't you see you have
no other options?

- You're not going to win.
- We'll see.

You will have to pay
a very high price.

What do you want from me?

Have me take compromising
pictures of Victor and you.

Never.
I can't do this to him.

- And then Victor loves me.
- You know very well this isn't true.

If I proved that Victor is cheating
on you, would you help me?

Can you really do that?

Come with me.
I'll prove it to you.

Why not admit it?
You came back because you love me.

It's not funny anymore
to play with you, Victor.

This is funny. You used to like
my little games once.

This was one of the reasons
why you married me. Did you forget?

It's his wife...
his wife!

- I would never have guessed that.
- Answer me.

Why did you come back,
like a siranger?

With the excuse of making
a photo shoot.

I wanted to check if you had changed
after our separation.

Don't you remember why
I left?

Iwanted children, Victor.

But you told me I was a fool,
because you... - Terrible.

- Let's cut it here.
- I was cheated... right under my eyes.

They pretended not to know
each other.

It's his wife!

Calm down now.

Let's go.

Checkmate.

An engaging game.

I was sure you would do that.

Sol unloaded it.

You won.

Do you remember the last verses
of Giacosefs "A Game of Chess"?

"This is how I present myself,
desperate and afflicted,"

"the winner is family,
therefore

I am not defeated."

- What am I supposed to do?
- Nothing.

Both because I won,
and because you love me.

I've never siopped loving you,
not even for a minute.

Neither have I, Victor.

It's her confession.

I would never have thought
she had a pasi like this.

But she loved you

and this is why she tried
to kill herself.

What's this?

This is why Valeria
has gone!

- They won!
- They who?

Those who are trying to prevent n1e from
becoming Chairman of European Banks.

Well-known Dr. Victor Schneider

was tied to a woman
from the racket of organized prosiitution.

Valeria will be able to
give them what they wanted.

My enemies won.

They know very well
how to destroy a man.

You can't destroy a man with

loving wife, now and forever.

Victor, wait.

You... what are you doing here?
What do you want?

- Money?
- No, I don't want any money.

On the contrary,
I have a gift for you.

Why didn't you give them
to those you're working with?

Love makes you do
stupid things sometimes.

Even... give away
pictures like these.

Valeria!
Valeria!

What would you give up
for love?

Nonsense games,
absurd whims,

in exchange for a true marriage.

And would you still want children?

Yes. I still do.

We will.

I love you, Nadine.

- I love you so much.
- I love you too, Victor.

I love you.
