Come on.

No, Dad, I don't want to.

Simone...

there must be one you like better than the others.

This is a good one, what do you say?

Or this one?

I can't do it, I like them all.

Simone, sometimes we have to do things we don't like.

- Him. - This one?

You're right, he's the best.

I would have chosen him too.

THOU SHALT NOT HATE

Hello, I'm a surgeon from the hospital.

There's been an accident by the river

at the intersection with the highway bridge.

There's an injured man in his fifties.

He has a deep wound on his right leg

and cuts and grazes on his face.

All right, thank you.

Can you hear me?

- What's your name? - Antonio.

Antonio, I'm a doctor. I've called an ambulance.

Try to breathe deeply and don't fall asleep, okay?

I'll try to stop the bleeding here.

I couldn't see clearly from where I was.

It was a tall car, probably an SUV.

- Do you remember what colour? - It was pale, white.

Did you see who was driving? A man? A woman?

No, sorry, I didn't.

Thanks, doctor. We'll give you a ride back shortly.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't do it.

Comrade Antonio Minervini!

Present!

Comrades... at ease!

Yes, hello?

- Is this Dr. Simone Segre? - Yes, speaking.

This is Sara Vascotto the estate agent, it's about your father's house.

Ah, yes, hello. What is it?

You need to come to the office to get the keys.

Sorry, but why can't you take care of it?

There's an aggressive dog in the garden, we can't get in.

Can you call me later? I'm working right now.

Goodbye.

Good morning.

REFERENCED ITALIAN CLEANING LADY AVAILABLE

Do any of you need a cleaner or know anyone who does?

- No, doctor. - No, I'm sorry.

Do me a favour and put the word out?

Sure.

Where's she from?

She's Italian.

A friend of mine going through a rough patch.

Do I know her?

No, I don't think so.

Here's three months in advance.

I can't have you come anymore.

From when?

From next week.

- Have I done something wrong? - No, not at all.

I've gotten slower, I know.

I can do an extra half hour, free.

No, that's not it. Maybe I'll have you come back later.

Okay.

- Take care, doctor. - You too.

Hi.

- Thanks again. - Don't mention it.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Simone Segre. - Marica Minervini.

Come in.

- Did you have trouble finding the street? - No.

This way.

Like a coffee? I just made some.

No, thanks. I don't actually have much time.

Can I ask you a question, how did you find me?

I found the ad in the street.

My old cleaning lady went back to her own country.

- You've got a nice big apartment. - Yes.

Shall we take a look around, so you can get an idea?

- Yes, thank you. - This way.

This is my study.

The living area.

Here's the dining room.

Here, as you can see, is the kitchen.

It continues through here, these are the bedrooms.

Down here, this room's always been used as a laundry.

I thought twice a week for three hours.

- Would that suit you? - Yes, it should be enough.

I gave my old cleaning lady eight euros an hour.

Actually, I take ten.

All right.

The lady who was here before wasn't Italian?

No, she wasn't.

I'd like to be on the books.

Yes, of course.

And if it suits you we could do a trial period.

All right.

- Can you manage with public transport? - I hope so.

Although the two jobs I found are quite far apart.

- Use the car. - No, the car costs too much.

It's not like you gotta be there on the dot.

Yeah, but I have to start the other one at nine.

I'll ask Loris if I can work with him.

- Maybe he needs someone. - No, you've got school.

Don't worry, we'll manage somehow.

Mari... Paolo wanted some liquorice rolls.

See if they have it.

Only you could get on with my father.

Marica! What the fuck are you doing?

- You're working for a fucking Jew! - What?

Segre...

- That's a Jewish name! - Keep your voice down.

Who gave you permission to look in my purse?

I wanted to see who you work for.

To be safe.

- Who the fuck are they? - I don't need you checking on me.

We need money.

- You have to work for that kind of shit? - Stop it.

Give me the diary. Give me the fucking diary!

You're a slave for a Jew.

Is that how you honour Dad's memory?

- You don't know what you're saying. - Yes, I do.

Better than you.

Who lived with Dad? Huh?

You did whatever the fuck you wanted.

You didn't give a shit about us.

But now you're acting like a saint.

I'm here now.

You're not working for a Jew.

But I am, I already accepted. It's not up to you.

- You don't fucking get it. - Show some respect.

This is my house! Not yours!

I'll do what the fuck I like.

Marcello...

Go away.

You disgust me.

You're being an asshole.

Always better than a traitor.

I dropped everything to be here with you. You hear me?

Thank you.

Thank you so much for the favour.

Do you think I like it?

I didn't ask you for anything.

It's what Dad would have done.

No.

Dad would never have stooped so low.

He would have done worse.

What would you know? He wasn't what you think.

Yeah...

Yeah, right.

You saw the way he behaved after Mom left.

So?

Dad would never have betrayed his ideals.

He would have done anything for us.

That's who Dad was.

Here are the house keys.

So when you're done you can lock up.

- Thank you. - I'm going out soon.

Ah, excuse me. You're out of floor cleaner.

- I'll pop out and buy some. - Thank you.

I bought this one. I don't know if it's all right.

It's fine. Thank you.

- You're not from here. - No.

I was living near Rome.

I came back recently to be with my brothers.

What did you do?

I was a secretary in an accounting firm.

I have a diploma in accountancy.

Did you like it?

I liked it a lot.

But I haven't found anything here yet.

Will you manage like this?

I have to.

As well as cleaning, I do night shifts at a supermarket.

Isn't there anyone who can help you out?

No.

May I?

My sister isn't a servant for the likes you.

Who are the likes of me?

You know.

Fuck you.

You don't fucking get it.

Now you're going to call her

and say you don't need her anymore.

You can find a Filipina, a Romanian, whatever.

But leave my sister alone, is that clear?

I'm not afraid of you.

I've warned you.

I won't do it again.

Shut the fucking door.

- Hello? - Good evening, this is Davide.

We have a new phone contract offer for Mr. Antonio Minervini.

Is he at home? May I speak to him?

No, he's not at home.

So, when can I find him? Later or maybe tonight...

No, you don't get it.

Can I speak to him tomorrow morning? You tell me.

He's dead. All right?

- Goodbye, doctor. - Goodbye.

- See you Wednesday. - Do you need a ride?

No, thank you.

I have some errands to run, it's no other.

No, I'm good. Thanks anyway.

- Have a good day. - Have a good day.

No, I don't want to, it's fucking boring.

- What is? - Going dancing.

No, I can't, I got an Italian test tomorrow.

- What time? - Third period.

Go in during the second.

The fuck do you care? You always know everything.

That any fucking way to sit?

Sit up straight!

Wanna go bash some Banglas?

Maybe I got a better idea.

What did I tell you, huh?

You always were cowards, never come alone.

Go! Go!

Thanks so much.

- Sure you don't want to go to hospital? - No, I'm fine, thank you.

- Good night. - Good night.

POLICE STATION

Don't touch it.

Anyway, you don't know how to fix it.

I do know how to fix it, Dad taught me.

- Morning, Marica. - Morning.

What happened?

They tried to rob me.

I'm sorry.

Are you all right? Have you been checked out?

No, I'm fine.

- With all these immigrants around. - They were Italian.

Did you go to the cops?

What's the point?

You're right.

For some people prison's pointless.

If there's nothing you need, I'll get to work.

Of course.

- Where are you going? - Out with the others.

You have to pick up Paolo from Mrs. Franchi.

- Can't you do it? - No.

I'm going to work, my shift starts in 30 minutes.

- But they're expecting me. - Not anymore.

Give him dinner, he has to be in bed by ten.

Goodbye, doctor, I'm going now.

Goodbye.

No, wait, Marica, wait a minute.

I nearly forgot.

Thank you.

- It's too much. - That's fine.

Why are you doing this?

- Doing what? - Look, I can get by just fine.

Yes, I know, it's just a bonus.

What do you want from me?

Nothing.

- I'm happy with your work. - Okay, all the better.

See you Thursday.

This is all we needed, wasting our time.

No, no. Thank you, thank you.

Did you hear what I said? Get outta here!

Can I try?

Why don't you go do your nails?

You go do yours.

Here.

Look, this one's to shoot.

- And this one's to pass. - Okay.

I'll help you.

Hey, kid, that doesn't count!

Cut it out!

No, come on, cut it out...

Hi.

Excuse me... I'm sorry about the other day.

- That's behind us, okay? - Okay.

Put your jacket back on, we're going out.

Thanks.

Watch out for the dog, he's aggressive.

What's his name?

You know, I don't know.

I wonder where it's going.

Where would you go?

Anywhere but here.

I've always been afraid of flying.

It's something you can get over, though.

Yes... sometimes.

The movers are coming next week and when they've emptied it out,

I'd like you to clean it, so that...

maybe I'll be able to put it up for sale.

There are some beautiful things.

If there's any beauty in here it's no thanks to my father.

Why? What was he like?

I hadn't seen him for years.

He was harmful for our family.

As a boy he definitely went through difficult times.

The war, the concentration camp...

He'd studied medicine.

To survive he treated the Nazis' teeth.

He never told me.

Maybe he didn't have any choice.

Maybe.

I wouldn't have done it.

What was your father like?

My father?

He was always changing jobs.

For a while he was a truck driver.

When we came here, Mom and Dad opened a bar.

Then Mom left us and... he closed the bar.

For a few years he did a bit of everything.

He was good at fixing things.

In the end he was always dissatisfied.

But he wouldn't admit it.

And you?

I take after him a bit.

But I have no problem admitting it.

It's a mess, huh?

Come, I'll show you upstairs.

- No, wait, there's a zero missing here. - Okay.

You have to convert centimetres to millimetres.

- Who is it? - Marica... Come down.

Why? I'm doing homework with Paolo.

I need you to come down.

What's going on?

- Rocco, nice to meet you. - Marica.

I saw you at the funeral.

Your brother knows me well.

Sorry, but I don't remember.

Well, only natural.

You didn't notice me, there was heaps of people.

Everyone loved Antonio.

I'm very sorry about what happened.

Thank you.

Your dad and I were close friends.

We played soccer together.

He wasn't bad, he had a good left foot...

Maybe you don't know 'cause you've been away.

Your dad owed me quite a lot of money.

What's that got to do with us?

We're off to a bad start.

I try to be polite and that's how you answer me?

- How much? - It started out as three grand.

And now it's up to twelve.

And who knows how far we can go.

Am I right?

But I can't right now, the most I could do is...

That's your business,

I'm not interested.

I'm saying it for your sake.

I see.

If I were you I'd find a solution within ten days.

Yeah, ten days would be perfect.

That way you avoid a whole lot of bother

that you really don't want to deal with.

Did you know?

No.

I should have known.

Okay.

Listen, we'll make it somehow or other.

Don't worry.

How?

I'll sell the car.

- What will we do? - We'll try.

I'll come up with something.

Now, Paolo, behave and don't touch anything.

All right.

I realize this house isn't set up for kids.

Paolo's adaptable.

There's a school strike today.

If he wants, if it's okay with you,

I could take him to the park, there are slides...

What do you say, Paolo?

Perfect. I'll put my jacket on.

Go.

You're Jewish, aren't you?

Yes, I'm Jewish.

My brother doesn't like people like you.

And you?

I'm no good at picking you out.

Do I seem different from other people?

No.

But I won't tell Marcello I saw you today.

I don't want to fight with him.

Are you mad at me?

No, not at you.

Can I go play now?

There he is!

Piece of shit!

Piece of shit!

- Don't worry, did you cut yourself? - No.

It's destroyed, I'm sorry, I'll buy you another one.

- Don't worry about it. - No, but I do.

- Who knows what it cost. - I said not to worry.

It happens, it's only a thing.

- Here, I'll give you a hand. - No, leave it.

Everything's all right.

Everything's all right.

What's happened?

Yesterday, they arrested the guy who killed my father.

He turned himself in saying was remorseful.

But it took him two months to realize it.

He says he couldn't bear the guilt anymore.

But that's too easy.

A real man faces consequences straightaway.

Sorry, it doesn't concern you.

There's nothing to be sorry for.

Why did you come to the supermarket that night?

I can't.

You're right, we can't.

FUNERAL HOME

- Rocco! - Marcello!

Good, you're early, you don't take after your father.

Rocco, listen...

it's the same if we come in two days.

How much have you got?

Nearly three.

And what am I supposed to do?

I know, but it's not easy. It's just us.

Sorry, but you know how it works, right?

We're on the same side.

What side?

Come back Wednesday with the money.

Now get outta here, go home.

Help us, please, he's been shot.

Come in.

- We have to take him to the hospital. - No, we can't.

- What did he do? - I'll explain later.

Please, help us.

- Do you have the same blood group? - I don't know.

- Why? - Okay, I'm type-O,

it's not ideal but it might work.

I don't want your blood.

Then die.

But not in my house.

First street on the left there's an open pharmacy.

You need to buy an infusion line

and four 500ml bottles of saline solution.

Marica, hurry up.

Try not to fall asleep.

Is he asleep?

Is he gonna make it?

He was lucky the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.

Thank you.

Why didn't you tell me you needed money?

Because it was none of your business.

Sorry.

I'm scared.

I better get back to Paolo.

See you tomorrow.

BUSINESSMAN FOUND DEAD LAST NIGHT

Is he dead?

He died this morning.

You should eat something, feel up to it?

I want to get outta here.

You definitely can't stay here forever.

No way I want to.

Here.

What is it?

The money we were going to give Rocco.

Why are you giving it to me?

Listen, Marcello,

you can't come home like nothing happened.

On the news they said there were no witnesses.

But they'll find out what Rocco did and check his debtors.

You said yourself that I did it to defend us.

It's not that simple.

What the fuck am I supposed to do?

I have a friend who lives in Lisbon.

I've already spoken to him.

You can stay with him for a while.

Maybe you can help out, he's a mechanic.

What the fuck are you talking about?

No way I'm gonna drop everything. My life's here.

You're here.

I don't want to lose you too.

At least think about it, all right?

All right.

You're up, good.

Are they yours?

You were good, huh?

I stopped a long time ago.

Like my dad.

But he never won anything.

I wonder what he would have done in my place.

Let's go in there and eat something.

- You want some more? - Yes, please.

You?

Do you want some more?

I'm good.

- I'm going back to the room. - Need a hand?

I can manage.

Hang on.

Is Marcello coming for my birthday?

I don't know.

- We could go visit him. - We'll see.

Get on.
