HELL IN THE CITY

WOMEN'S PRISON

Hands.

The other way around.

- Sit down.
- Listen!

It must be a mistake.

The commissioner said
he was going to send me home.

Lina Borsani!

Full name. - The officer wants to
send me home with an expulsion order.

But I didn't want that.
I haven't done anything wrong.

If there's an order, I'll go.

I'll do anything you want me to do.

Full name, paternity...

I did nothing. The officer
promised that I could go home.

Name, your father's name,
and nature of the crime.

Lina Borsani...

... of Antonio.

Complicity in burglary.

- The new ones are here...
- Get off my bed.

Let's see who is dumbest.

Walk on.

That way, idiot.

Let me through.

- That one seems the dumbest.
- I think so too.

Is it raining?

Oh, but she's awake!

I want to give you a pink doll

as little as I am...

Let that crying sucker stop it.

Fruiterer, get choked!

Get choked, fruiterer!

Fuck you!

The beds are getting
rougher by the day.

What are they made off?

- What time is it?
- Early. They're still in church.

- Who is that?
- There are two of them.

- One is next to you.
- She's been crying for two hours now.

The little new one?

Giacomino is observing you.

They say it's burglary.

Do you hear that, Egle?
Ask it.

Who's calling me?

- Assunta is calling you, Egle.
- Assunta is calling you.

Stop it.
Say that I'm asleep.

- Who is that?
- I said that, one of the newbies.

- She has the bed next to yours.
- You had seen her before.

- There we go again.
- Good night.

She is going to sleep
and tonight she'll be waking up.

Moby Dick...

Stop it.
We are all having troubles.

Stop it!

Renata, listen.

- You'll be beaten up once.
- Why?

You don't wake up whistling.

The mother of my lover

is a good person.

- Who's got a cigarette?
- I gave you one.

- In between your tits.
- How stupid. I slept on it.

Assunta...

You're so silent today.
What are you doing?

Come here.
I have something to tell you.

Would one ever be able
to get some sleep here?

Give me a match.

I want to tell you about my dream,
to see if I'm right.

Can somebody help
her to shut up!

Moby Dick, your ass is
always blocking my view.

You go sit in your own shit.

Silence and lights off.

- Who is this?
- There she goes again.

Who are you?
Let me see your face.

Clean up that mess.
I have to take a shower.

At this hour?
Wash yourself tomorrow.

No, I want to do it now.

- Already fighting?
- Whose is it?

Don't touch me.
Away with that mess.

Please, fuck off.

I'm taking a shower.

Whose is it?
Volare, oh oh...

Have you gone mad?

- Everything all right, sisterCeleste?
- It's all right.

Sister, I think the warden should know
what happened tonight.

- Really, sister Giuseppina?
- Yes, I think so.

He always knows everything.
He is very up to date.

He'll understand things.

Please, let's not report this.

She was out of her mind.
Perhaps she's innocent.

Perhaps she is really innocent.

Say, why are you here?

For a burglary at the villa
where I'm employed.

- Your boss turned you in?
- I wasn't even there.

- Where were you?
- Out with my boyfriend.

- In the meantime...
- The door has been forced.

They had keys and knew
where everything was.

Jewelry, silver,
documents.

While doing research...

... they found fingerprints
left on the locks...

... and they said they were mine.

That's why they accused me.

Tell me, girl.
Has your fiancee been interrogated?

No, he was in his town
to arrange for our marriage.

If you were together,
he'll be called to court.

- Sure, he has to witness.
- Of course.

I did not tell them that
we were together.

- Why didn't you?
- Why should I?

- Because...
- Because you had let him in.

Yes, but very short.
Just for a moment.

Just enough time for him.

He said we shouldn't take
advantage of the opportunity...

... and he took me to the cinema.

- What did you see?
- Gone With the Wind.

What are you laughing about?

Your fiancee was in the house...

... then he chose a film
lasting four hours.

What did you tell them?

- I said I went to the cinema.
- Alone?

Yes, I told them I was alone.

But somebody saw me in
a tram with another man.

So they asked with
whom you were?

With a man I met in the tram.

- What is his name?
- I don't know, Mario.

- In which tram?
- I don't know, no idea.

The officer said...
You'd let the burglars in.

And I said... No, I didn't
let anybody in.

I didn't open up
for no one.

Because if I would have
said he has been inside...

... they would suspect him.

Because they are crazy.

They just declare you guilty
and lock you up, like me...

They're not so crazy.
You are in big trouble.

I didn't do anything.

Does you boss know your fiance?
Did your parents know you had one?

He didn't want me to tell before
he had spoken to his parents.

So he told you not to tell anybody!
- Yes.

Egle, did you understand?

Tell me...

Where did you meet
Mr. Innocent?

Through a nice old man,
a friend.

- Whose friend?
- Mine.

Or not really a friend.

A nice gentleman whom
I got to know in the beginning.

Because I didn't know anybody
upon starting to work there.

I came to work here thanks
to a cousin from my village.

After arriving they said
"Don't let yourself be deluded".

You will get two free afternoons.

So I asked which days?

I had free thursday
and sunday afternoons.

I went out, but didn't
know what to do.

So, I I usually sat
on a bench in the park.

I waited, and waited,
and then went back home.

On a thursday afternoon...

... the children were
playing with a ball...

... a gentleman came
to sit next to me...

... and started talking to me
in a gentile manner.

He asked me if
I liked being in Rome.

"Yes I do."

And he asked me what I had seen.

'I haven't seen anything yet.'

He kept on talking and asked
if I would like to go with him...

... so we took the tram.

He showed me St. Peter's Basilica
and the Colosseum.

And on some sunday he said...

Today we're gonna have ice cream
and see live music...

... at Piazza Esedra,
close to the railway station.

While we were there
having our ice cream...

... and the band was playing...

... a young man came seated
close to us...

... and he also ordered
an ice cream.

He was observing me...

... I looked back, and
a little affection arose.

- Did you two get engaged?
- Yes, we got engaged.

We planned to marry
soon, because...

Are you pregnant?

- No, but...
- It could have been so.

We love each other.

Do you love that...
What's his name?

Adonis.

What a name.

Tell some more about him.

Perhaps we know him.
Who could it be?

- Maybe it's Righetto.
- You don't know him...

... because he is a serious
and sincere

if he learns about my
detainment...

He will understand that
it's a mistake.

Don't cry.

I'm also here by accident.

I have only done good.

I organize charity lotteries.

Sometimes I'm even selling
tickets at the doors.

Someone turned me in
and now I'm here.

What are you telling her now, countess?

Don't worry about your future.

I got many relations with people
of noble standing.

I've been assisting several girls
who were released...

... and who had some savings.

Do you have any savings?

It will be much easier.
You shall see.

Do you want to make up my bed?

My back really hurts.

Be aware of her. You've been
cheated on enough already.

She's falling asleep again.

Are you trying your best, Egle?

- Wake up!
- She's asleep already.

Egle, wake up and clean your face.
Go to sleep tonight.

- Just like us.
- So you won't keep us awake.

It's better for you too.

- Do you want coffee?
- Shall we play cards?

No, no cards.
We'll have her singing.

Silence, Egle is going to sing.

Adonis...

I have a craving for a coffee!

Let's make coffee?

- How?
- Get a paper.

- Where?
- There. She has a whole pile.

One is enough.

What are you wearing?

That's what they gave me here.

From the old Rome.

Don't you think it's miserable?
I won't even wear it in winter time.

A nun gave it to me.
I didn't have anything else.

Only what I was wearing
at that moment.

- How old are you?
- 27.

That's why you're so crazy about...
What's his name again?

When I was your age
I was going wild.

What are you waiting for?
Go ahead and smoke.

Don't look at me like that!
You are the phenomenon here.

Don't throw away that match.

Come here.

Light it.

Take the cups off the table.

Place them on a fire.

Come on.

Look at us in this heat.

- Take some water.
- In this?

I won't come here again in summer.

Rome is too beautiful to be locked
in here. Place it on the fire.

On top of the cups.

What are you doing?

You want to smoke us out?

Pretend we are in the Via Veneto.
Listen...

... all those cars passing by...

... and the west wind.
We are making American Nescaf?.

Pass it when you've had enough.

Smoke.

Were you born dumb,
or do you act dumb?

She was born like this!
Give me the water.

Careful.

You'll burn like Jeanne d'Arc.

- What a noise.
- What are you doing?

I'm amusing myself.

- Get the sugar.
- Where?

By the countess.

Wake up please.
Do you have any sugar?

Take it from the countess,
good for her diabetes.

See that you found it?

Have you really been here
that often?

The first time was right after the war.

What a mess it was.

Adolescents, politicians, prostitutes,
the whole bunch.

At home it was worse.

Not a bed for oneself,
no food every day.

Once here, I understood I wanted
something better. Believe me.

Where were you?

I worked as a housemaid
for classy people.

Isn't this a classy house?

More classy than anywhere else.

Food, drinks, and no taxes.

- Stop it, Egle.
- Nights are for sleeping.

Close your eyes.
We're not allowed to chat.

I'd rather come here more often
than do long stretches in a row...

... because I can't bear that anymore.

I still have five months to go,
and I'm sick of it already.

Why are you leaning like that? Sit down.

Drink you coffee and
please add sugar to it.

The longest time was due
to a defacement.

A thing of the past.

It leaves me cold now.
I know life.

Are you cheating on me?
Then I will cheat on you too.

You want to leave? I'll leave.
Then we're both happy.

Men are bad enough already.

Plenty of them.
And they're chasing after me.

I don't look for them.

But I have to make up for it
the time I'm in here.

I'm bumping into them
wherever I am.

Some other time I was
in jail for a long time...

... for alluring them.

- Exactly like what you did to...
- Adonis.

But that's not...

You are worse off
with your complicity

Have yourself paid well.

God knows for how long
you'll be in jail.

- Impossible.
- Not so loud.

I'm sure you're mistaken.

Please don't complain again.
I don't understand you.

Do you want to work for
20,000 Liras a month?

- How much were you supposed to get?
- From whom?

- From your boss.
- 18,000 and garments.

Not even twenty?

Wake up girl.

With your fiancee
you'll have a servant

... whom you'll be giving orders

Perhaps I didn't explain it
clear enough.

My fiancee is in business.

- He is poor.
- ...but an honest worker, huh?

Poor chap.
What's going to be of you?

Do we have to find this mama's boy
to see who is right?

You don't want that.

You know how things stand.

That's not the case.

I didn't speak about him from
fear of making a mistake.

Shall I write him?

Stop that bullshit.
I am proposing something.

Do we want to look for him or not...

We'll find a way. There is
always someone getting out of here.

Just ask a trusted person...

We'll tell the gal at 28.

But let him know that
you are here.

What does it cost you?

What a bullshit.

- What's going on?
- What's wrong this time?

Do you really believe
I should inform him?

If you can help me?

Stop being polite!
I'm not your grandma.

And also...

Do you like these?

You know what they are?

Dice, made of bread.
Can you play?

I will teach you.

To talk to the others I must go to mass
in the morning, but I never wake up.

- What are we playing for?
- l don't know.

For two cigarettes,
and you take them from her.

Not now.

Three times each.

Your turn.

Throw. Tomorrow morning,
if you wake me up, I'll go to mass.

So I'll arrange something.
Go ahead.

Wake up, girls!

You fell out of bed?

- I don't know.
- She's going to mass with us.

I have found her, a friend of mine.

- Please let her pass.
- Who's that?

- She's in the hospital ward.
- She drowned her child.

Only murderers are treated well. Just
kill someone and they take care of you.

And we instead are like apes in a cage.

Hi. You leaving tomorrow, huh?
You got to find her lover.

When done,
send me a package with an apple in it.

Countess...

- Countess, I was looking for you
- Later

I have to talk to you.
Right now.

What's going on there?

- Not against an old lady.
- Just because she's old.

I wanted to return
so to kick your ass.

I gave her money and cigarettes
for three months

Cigarettes is what she wanted.

'I have friends for you
after I get out.'

'... for some savings in return.'

I'll teach you,
so-called Countess!

What a scene.

I didn't understand, but one thing
is sure... she deserved it!

Come on girls.

- She's gonna break that girl.
- It's a shame.

- Really. This morning...
- Hurry up!

Egle, look who they nailed!

How's that? - Fine of 80,000 Lire
for Swiss cigarettes. Six months.

- Do you want to show her the cell?
- Again?

No preaching. Where do I go?
I've waited for hours.

Here...

- No place here.
- We're full to the brim.

I'll make room.
Lina, come with me.

- Come.
- Should it be here, really?

Wasn't it enough already?
Those bitches.

Nurse, don't give in to them.

You can't move that girl.
She just has gotten used to it.

You are right.
Lina stays there.

You are adapting very easily.

- Are we acting funny?
- I'll bring your stuff over.

Look who's there.
Egle with us.

Moby Dick,
you will end like Orfelia.

What about me, sister?

Give her Egle's place.

Go to sleep!

- You're deadly tired.
- I will sleep tonight.

- Give me some water.
- In a few hours...

... when Marietta comes out.

This bit with the lavatory has to stop.

- What do you want?
- I want to wash my face.

What were you doing
those three hours?

You close the tap please.

If I could catch that Countess...

Give me a match,
MobyDick.

- There she goes again. Is she crazy?
- I don't know. Give it back.

Let's see what she's doing.

- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

- What's going on?
- Mind your own business.

What the hell are you doing?

What have you got there?

Come on, leave it.

She's got a mirror.

What're you doing up here with a mirror?

- Leave it.
- Just taking a look.

What's that hole?

Give it to me.

You got to explain.
What are you doing with that mirror?

Now I get it.

Is that why you're acting
so mysterious?

I can see the houses,
the street, the cobbles.

Are you looking all day long?

You are pretty crazy.

I can't bear it being
between four walls.

I'm young.

At first I was in youth detention
and now I'm here.

I thought I was going crazy.

But thanks to that mirror...

... I can see trees and houses.

You already knew
there were trees and houses.

- What is it Egle?
- What a liar you are.

Look at that...

Look at that boy.

Looking at trees and houses, huh?

- That's what you're spying!
- Give it to me!

Let me have a look.

Those shoulders.
Who is it?

No idea.
I don't know him.

- Is he always down there?
- Sometimes.

I heard him singing, always.

- Maybe he's a mechanic at work.
- Mario.

- Why do you yell? Do you know him?
- No, but maybe he reacts.

Giulio.

Are you leaving?
No, please stay a little longer.

And you dimwit, after all this time
you still don't know who it is?

Not good for you, then!

- Gino.
- Stop it.

Give me a name!
Try and guess his name.

- Renato.
- Vittorio.

- Nothing. Antonio.
- Alfonso.

- Nothing. Piero.
- Giuliano.

He turns around.
His name is Piero.

- He looks back. His name is Piero.
- He hears yelling.

His name is Piero.

He's gone now.

- He's still there.
- Oh yes?

Do you like him that much?

He's mine because I guessed
the right name, but you can have him.

- What are you doing?
- We're picking up someone. Alright?

There was a nice black fellow.
Very friendly.

- His name is Piero.
- They're crazy.

Are we crazy because we're
picking up a black lover?

Ladies, we love black lovers
named Piero.

- Tell them his name.
- Piero.

What are you doing there?

Lina has been questioned. She almost
fainted and we're making her a coffee.

Clean it all up because tomorrow
we will have visitors.

Careful.

Drink, Lina.

- Now you're gonna tell us everything.
- Leave her alone.

They caught the burglar
who stole from the villa.

Adonis?

No. They showed me his picture.

It's Mr. Ernesto.

Did you tell them you know him?

- They understood anyway.
- Of course, with a face like that!

I was crying even before going in.

Iris, an elder burglar calling himself
Ernesto, could he be Righetto's father?

- The shoemaker?
- Yeah...forget it.

What you crying for, idiot?
He's an old hand, he won't talk.

- But I will! I'll talk.
- Sure, tell it all.

Yes, because if it's true
that it was the old chap who stole...

... then you all are right about my
lover being guilty as well.

Perhaps, he did it out of necessity...

... or because of bad friendships.

I forgive him because I love him.

- But if he's gone wrong, he has to pay!
- Telltale!

- She is a telltale.
- And she's got the nerve to say it.

- Aren't you ashamed?
- Telltale!

- Mamma mia, that's the worst thing.
- You want to nail him to the wall?

I will teach you how to take revenge.

But if you spy, you're a filthy bitch,
and no one will come near you.

Shut up.

She won't talk.

I know her well.

I've always given you good advice.

Now it's not enough
to tell Adonis that you won't talk.

Now Vincenzina must tell him
that half of the loot is yours.

Understood?

So he'll have to accept
because you can ruin him.

And he'll respect you
for not having told on him.

Hey, it's a big robbery!
You might settle for the rest of your life.

- Maybe for even less than half.
- One third.

True that she can settle for one third?
- Sure!

And if you like Adonis, you keep him.
Otherwise, you'll find another one.

- No, she's still in love wih him, right?
- Not anymore. Not now.

- Then you didn't love him before either.
- Come on, this is nonsense!

Girls, get some cigarettes
to give to the sweeper,...

... so she'll get us in touch with
Vincenzina, who's leaving tomorrow.

Sweeper...

What do you want?

What do you want from the sweeper?

I didn't say anything.

- Are you feeling better now?
- Much better! True you're better?

Somebody got to help me with the plants,
to decorate for tomorrow's visitors.

Come.

I hope she can leave soon.

- She should be isolated.
- She's weak. She'll change, they all do.

I too have changed, since I'm here.

How much stuff!

Here, enjoy too!

I can make coffee
with the double bottom.

Countess, don't look.

Egle hot the package from Vincenzina!

She saw him, she talked to him,
he agrees.

A bit overripe, but it's still an apple.

- Did he say anything else?
- Here's some pasta.

Eat, Moby Dick.

She said to Vincenzina...

When you've talked to him
put an apple in it as a sign.

And was there one?

- Would pasta be another sign?
- Squares and butterflies.

Squares stand for money.
What about butterflies?

The butterflies flew away!

No, she would have let me know.
She's not dumb.

Lina, you're all set. Remember
your girlfriends when you're outside.

This time I'll make me a mink.

What are you staring, Moby Dick?

I must fulfill this whim before I die.
I have to!

And I'll enter here in my mink,
next time, girls! Like that!

Look, this is what mannequins do.

You heard that? Now you're rich.

- What will he think of me?
- What should he?

- That you are a smart girl.
- Who knows what was in his mind?

My Gino also used me as lookout
and I didn't even know it!

One day he gave me a purse and said
'You earned it'. 'When?'

Last night when you were on the lookout.
'You're telling me now?'

If you knew you wouldn't
have been that nonchalant.

So now I don't wanna know beforehand.

So he does what he does, and we split.
That's the way to do it.

Lina Borsani to the judge.

- Why? I've been there already.
- What do I know? Come on.

Good Lord, the judge! What does he want?

- Nothing, don't worry.
- You know nothing, okay?

Egle!
- Stay there. - Dress up.

Mouth shut.

- I won't talk.
- Don't talk.

Go.

- Like this?
- Perfect.

Go and don't be afraid.

Don't talk.

I have to see the judge again.

It means he likes you.

If that old guy is there,
act like you've never seen him

Come.

Show yourself assured.

Where are you going?

- To the judge
- This way.

For investigation.

For investigation.

There she is, the telltale,
the burglar.

Is this what you wanted?
You ruined us.

Awful dirty thief.

- Here she is. You got some people here!
- Stop it now!

- You know this man?
- Of course! She planned the whole thing!

I said stop it.

Do you know him?
Who is he?

My fiance, Adonis Mazzet!ti.

What are you talking about? What fiance?
Judge, sir...

He's married, with three children.
He's not Adonis Mazzetti...

... but Antonio Zampi.

Impossible.

He showed me the marriage papers.

- To me.
- False papers again.

I have at least ten complaints
by maids like you.

He was engaged to all of them,
to all he showed the papers.

By all he got money to set up
a household, or worse yet,...

... he used them to enter
the apartments and steal.

32 years, 7 of which in jail,
and God knows how many more yet.

You've always denied, with me, with the
police, so you gave a false testimony.

A good girl like you.

A good girl?
What're you saying?

Judge, don't be fooled.

She's a devil! It's all her fault.
It was her idea.

Don't be fooled by this slut.

A good girl?

I have witnesses who can tell
what a good slut she is.

One of her friends walks up and down
the street in Viale Tiziano every night.

Vincenzina De Rosi is her name.

She was sent by her
to ask her share of the loot.

Fucking slut. She estranged
me from my wife and kids.

She made me give up the mine!

- What?
- I was going to be a mineworker.

Wasn't I going to be a mineworker?
Look, that's mister Ernesto.

First she tried to lure him.

Then she tried with me.
Judge, sir...

She sucked my blood!

She tore me from my dearest love,
my little son!

She intoxicated me.

She turned me into a rag, in her hands.

Tell the judge if it ain't true.

She let me in her room,
inside the villa.

And she offered herself to me.
Sir, I'm a man.

What else could I do?

The other times too
you have been lured, seduced.

The other times I lied
and I payed for it.
