>Come over here, give me a hand !

>You too are involved, Linda.

>Help me, Linda !

>Help me ! Help me !

>EIGHT YEARS LATER

>Hey, Carlo !

>When are you going to repair your van ?

>When you decide to pay your debts !

>It's bound to fall apart then.

>Carlo.

>Did you change my toy's batteries yet ?

>I didn't find the time.

>You never have time for me.

>Watch your mouth, kid.

>You promised.

>Hi, honey.

>Why did you take so long ?

>Did you talk to Gianni ?

>Gianni talked to me.

>Mostly about his daughter.

>We have five customers and they expect to be served.

>Are you afraid they'll die of thirst ?

>Stop !

>Come.

>Leave me, Carlo.

>I told you to calm down.

>Instead, watch the grill.

>They want it well cooked.

>"Al dente" and with a lot of parmesan, just like you like them.

>Your fettuccine are always perfection.

>But I don't come here only to eat.

>You want me to believe that you come for me ?

>Mamma mia ... if I wasn't married ...

>Linda, I am not married either and I am a few years younger.

>Really ?

>And everybody knows I'm well hung.

>Women describe you as fast, not hung.

>I really don't understand Luca.

>Abandon a woman like you ...

>This place was too small for him.

>And the birth of the little one got him scared.

>He was afraid of being stranded here.

>And you haven't heard from him for 8 years ?

>A postcard once.

>I still have it somewhere.

>- This is strange. - What ?

>A guy like Luca would have come back. At least to see his son.

>That's what I thought too. You can't imagine the problems he left me.

>And if it hadn't been for Carlo ...

>But if he comes back, I swear I'll make him pay for what he did.

>If he's still alive.

>He would be more useful to me dead. I would get his life insurance.

>That's a lot of money.

>Linda !

>The meat is ready.

>Why are you constantly looking at yourself ?

>You are not as beautiful as you once were.

>Look who's talking.

>But you don't know how I was before I met you.

>Ah yes.

>And how were you ?

>Clean.

>I was clean.

>And I could look at myself in a mirror.

>Without being ashamed.

>Bullshit.

>You always had ...

>only one idea in mind.

>Only one.

>Really ?

>And it is you who say that ?

>Of course. Who's always teasing the customers ?

>Who jiggles, who jokes ...

>There is nothing wrong if it amuses them.

>They are more willing to spend their money.

>What's wrong with you tonight ?

>Nothing.

>So ...

>why don't you come to bed ...

>That asshole cop ...

>Why do you think ...

>Why ask these questions about Luca ?

>It was just to fuel the conversation.

>Nothing more.

>The conversation ...

>That was out of the blue ...

>and after eight years ?

>No.

>He suspects something.

>That fat pig !

>I'm sure he knows something.

>You think ?

>And even if it were true, there is no evidence whatsoever.

>That's what you've been telling me for eight years.

>The police these days

>has new methods.

>They can find out whatever they want.

>But you are afraid.

>Don't deny it.

>How comical. You, the real male ...

>a determined and strong man ...

>literally shitting his pants.

>Shut up !

>Admit it.

>- You're afraid of being caught like a kid. - Shut up, I warned you.

>Shut up.

>I'll show you.

>Slowly, slowly.

>You'll wake the kid.

>And there he is, awake.

>It's your fault.

>Drop it.

>Let go of me.

>You should have gotten an abortion.

>Listen to me carefully. Alex is my son, do you hear ?

>It's the only good thing that ever happened in my life.

>And I won't allow anyone to take it away from me.

>Stay away from him, is that clear ?

>- Alex, mom is here. - Mom !

>Mom !

>- Alex ! I am here, my love. - Mom ... the storm ...

>- It's almost over. - Mom ?

>- Can you leave the light on ? - Just a minute then.

>And then we'll have to sleep.

>Are you better now ?

>I love you.

>Me too.

>Mom !

>- I'm afraid. - But it's just a lightning bolt.

>It's all dark. I'm afraid of the dark.

>Keep calm, mom is here.

>Stay calm.

>Carlo, bring a lamp !

>I'm on it.

>Good evening.

>I saw your sign and I thought that you might have a room.

>It's closed.

>- We do not accept anyone after closing. - Please, I don't know where to go.

>Please. You can see it's raining.

>Just a moment.

>- You have a car ? - No, I hitchhiked.

>I was dropped off three kilometres from here.

>- Please be nice. - I'm sorry, it's closed.

>Be kind ...

>Stop insisting, it's pointless.

>Carlo ! What's going on ?

>Good evening.

>So what is it ?

>Nothing dear, I was trying to explain to him that ...

>I'm just looking for a place to sleep. It's only for tonight.

>Let him in, Carlo.

>- Come in ! Don't stay outside in the rain. - Thank you.

>You must be hungry.

>There is a little fettuccini left.

>- I wouldn't want to disturb you. - Not at all, I assure you.

>There is even some sauce left.

>Also, this dish is my specialty.

>It is really very beautiful here.

>This must be the perfect place to raise children.

>How do you know there's a child here ?

>I saw the inflatable pool.

>No, leave it. I'll take care of the fettuccine myself.

>Show him one of the upstairs bedrooms.

>- Good night. - Good night.

>And thank you.

>Hitchhiking, eh ?

>Yeah.

>Where are you from ?

>Up north.

>And of course you are going south ?

>You will sleep here.

>The toilets are over there.

>Why did you let him in ?

>Will you tell me ?

>Because he was hungry and cold.

>He'll probably never pay you.

>Really, I don't understand you.

>I know.

>But you see, he reminded me of someone ...

>who landed here eight years ago.

>More or less under the same conditions.

>I was different.

>He is kind.

>Idiot.

>So what do you want ?

>Pick up where we left off.

>You know that I like it when it rains.

>Well I don't. And besides I have a migraine.

>I don't mind that at all.

>Come. Come on.

>Bastard. You are a bastard.

>Mom !

>Mom !

>- Your son is not normal. - Oh, shut up.

>- Hello. - Are you fixing the swing ?

>Are you doing it for me ?

>I fix it because I know that you wanted to play with it.

>Try it.

>Let's see how it goes.

>Are you ready ?

>What do you say ?

>Great. Are you going to fix other things ?

>- It depends. - Stronger !

>Stronger !

>Alex !

>Alex ! Breakfast !

>- Oh no. - Come on.

>Did you hear your mom ?

>Aren't you having breakfast ?

>It's good, eh ?

>You are not hungry ?

>Well, I ...

>I understand.

>Are you broke ?

>But I intend to pay.

>As soon as I can.

>It is quite obvious

>that you are going through a rough patch.

>But I am not a bum.

>And I can do all kinds of odd jobs.

>Really ?

>He has already repaired the swing.

>- You don't have money to pay ? - We were just discussing it.

>You promised me but you never fixed it.

>Children ... They should learn to stay in their place.

>So should grownups.

>Listen... I could use a hand.

>The pay is 100,000 lire per week plus meals and accommodation.

>What do you say ?

>- It's a deal. My name is Marco. - I'm Linda. - And my name is Alex.

>And he is Carlo. Welcome to Linda and Carlo's.

>Good. When do I start ?

>Right now.

>Carlo takes care of the boats, the fishermen and supplies.

>So I should give you a hand in the kitchen and help serve meals ?

>Exactly.

>- About the kitchen ... - Let me guess.

>I should clean everything in the evening.

>Prepare the fettuccine in the morning and add a touch of ginger in the sauce.

>A touch of ginger in the sauce ?

>It's my secret.

>How did you ...

>My mother used it too.

>Yesterday evening, I immediately recognized the taste.

>Can I ask you a favour ? These are the only clothes I have.

>Could I borrow some from the cellar ?

>If that doesn't bother you ?

>- How do you know we have clothes there ? - There are old clothes in all cellars !

>What's this questioning ?

>It's been quite a while since I have been there.

>The clothes are there. In the suitcase.

>We should do some cleaning.

>What a mess.

>It's good.

>Luca.

>What did you call me ?

>It's nothing.

>Did I remind you of someone ?

>- It's like you're reading my mind. - Uh ... no ...

>It's just that you suddenly turned white.

>Who did you take me for ?

>A ghost ?

>Who did I remind you of ?

>My first husband.

>- Luca. - Yeah.

>You have his clothes.

>The same build.

>And... also the same voice.

>- Very similar ... - Divorced ?

>He abandoned me.

>I do not believe it. How could a man abandon a woman like you ?

>He did.

>Well, in his place ...

>I would never have left you and we would have stayed together ... forever.

>Forever.

>" Forever "

>Hey, Carlo !

>How much ?

>40,000.

>No good fish right now, eh ?

>See you next time.

>Good ?

>Hello, marshal.

>How are you ?

>I was just telling Linda that the fettuccines were as good as when Luca was cooking them.

>That ...

>What did you say ?

>The marshal was congratulating the new cook's pastas.

>They want two beers at table 5.

>Bring them two bottles.

>Then go ...

>Do you want some fettuccine ?

>No.

>Hey ! Why are you looking at me like that ?

>You talk too much.

>It is true.

>Everyone tells me that I talk too much.

>He's a cop.

>That bastard is a cop. A damn cop.

>Did you hear what I said ?

>He's a damn cop. So what ?

>You understand nothing.

>He's spying on us.

>Who ?

>What do you mean, who ? This guy !

>The marshal must know something.

>Or at least he has suspicions.

>He wants to try and trap us.

>- Keep going like this and you will betray yourself. - Nonsense !

>Don't forget we killed him together.

>I didn't know his coffee was poisoned.

>Don't talk shit.

>Believing in you was such a mistake.

>- Idiot ! - You hit me but the truth is that you're scared !

>Listen to me carefully !

>They are trying to corner us.

>Don't you realize it ?

>First it was the clothes in the cellar ... And all the innuendos ...

>He knows too much about us.

>And even the ginger in the sauce !

>Maybe he just guessed it ? He is a charming guy.

>And these are not state secrets.

>There is something about him which seems strange to me ...

>... and I don't like it.

>And I'd like to know where he goes for hours every afternoon.

>Where do you think ?

>I don't know.

>And I don't like that either.

>Hello.

>Where were you ?

>On the lake. I was fishing.

>Why didn't you take me ?

>Would you like to come with me ?

>Marco ! But where have you been ?

>There is a lot of work waiting for you.

>He has absolutely nothing.

>No workbook. No identity documents.

>Not even a driving permit. Nothing.

>Not even a piece of paper.

>What did you think you'd find ?

>He's a cop.

>You can be sure of this.

>Why ?

>Why ? Because ...

>because ...

>if he's not a cop then who is he ?

>Who the hell is he ?

>Help me. Alex ...

>Mom !

>Where are you going ?

>- You're not going anywhere. - Take your hands off.

>You stay there.

>Let me go !

>You stay here !

>- Let me go ! - You stay here !

>You'll see...

>Motherfucker ! I hate you !

>Bastard !

>Stop !

>Stay there.

>Pig !

>Motherfucker !

>Who is there ?

>Linda.

>Linda. It's you ?

>Linda.

>Damn it ...

>So ?

>It was a pigeon. A damn pigeon.

>Let's go back downstairs.

>Shit !

>Carlo !

>What is it ?

>There must have been a power cut.

>All the meat is rotten.

>There are even worms.

>You have to go and find some in town.

>It is disgusting.

>I will have to clean this.

>Why didn't we realize it ?

>Get there before it's too late.

>Yes.

>Carlo !

>- Carlo ! - What is it ?

>Can I go with you too ?

>Please take me to town with you.

>Was it mom who told you to ask me that ?

>Come on.

>I'm done.

>It's sparkling clean.

>The coffee is ready. You want some ?

>Leave it. I'll take care of it.

>I heard some commotion last night.

>Is something wrong ?

>Nothing is right.

>It's life.

>Sugar.

>Sugar ... sugar ... sugar.

>It's poison !

>Really ? And for whom do you keep it ?

>For rats or lovers ?

>What do you think ?

>I'll take the risk.

>You wouldn't risk much.

>It was I who turned the fridge off.

>Yes, I suspected it.

>And what else do you suspect ?

>I suspect you'll feel very dumb when you realize you were wrong about me.

>Excuse me, Linda.

>It's the same earring.

>How ?

>It's the same, do you understand ?

>It's impossible.

>Yes, yes, it's the same. The same earring.

>- The one Luca snatched from me that night ... - Shut up ! Shut up !

>It is not possible. Calm down.

>I know it's impossible but it's my earring !

>I am sure of it.

>What does that mean, Carlo ?

>I do not know.

>When did he give it to you ?

>This morning.

>Why ?

>I asked you why ?

>Why ?

>Why did he give it to you ?

>Because I refused to sleep with him.

>I do not believe it.

>What don't you believe ?

>I do not believe you.

>Slut. You slept with him.

>You wanna run away with that cop who wants to corner me.

>Bitch ! Whore !

>What is happening ?

>Oh, nothing at all. It's just the TV.

>Come on, let's try and fix this.

>I have to stay calm. We have to stay calm.

>Calm. Calm.

>We must keep our heads cool.

>There is no proof.

>And then ...

>It might not be your earring.

>No, this is not a coincidence.

>Carlo.

>It cannot be a coincidence.

>Listen.

>If this is really the real earring.

>That would mean that they have found the body, right ?

>If they had found the corpse ...

>they would have evidence.

>And we would have already been arrested.

>Right ?

>I think they have no proof.

>But they want us to believe it.

>You understand ?

>They are trying to make us go mad.

>- Finished ? - Is Linda feeling ill ?

>No, nothing serious. A little tired.

>Pity. I am away for a few weeks and I would have liked to greet her.

>Holidays ?

>Maybe, Carlo.

>No, it's an old business.

>You know, criminals are weird.

>After a few years, unexpectedly, their conscience begins to play tricks on them.

>And they end up confessing forgotten crimes.

>Really ?

>All it takes is a small part of the truth to get a confession out of a murderer.

>Sorry.

>You said ?

>That confession is a deliverance.

>And you are less hard on those who confess their crimes ?

>Always.

>Are you hurt ?

>No.

>I had a cyst removed this morning.

>Have a nice trip.

>The idiot. The fool.

>Why did I tell him this bullshit story ?

>Come on, he's not going to check it out.

>Otherwise you can always say

>that you had it removed in another town.

>There's only one thing to do ...

>We have to go and check for ourselves.

>Here it is.

>It's here, right ?

>Yes, it is.

>Everything looks normal.

>No, we have to look inside.

>We have to make sure.

>We can't be sure unless we check.

>There is nothing here.

>Keep looking.

>Keep looking.

>How will I find this earring ?

>It must be there.

>Look at his hand.

>It's got to be here.

>I see nothing.

>That damn loop is not here. Fuck this !

>You coward !

>Come on, you ! Come and dig through this shit too !

>What are you waiting for, damn it ?

>He's your fucking husband !

>And you're just an idiot !

>Did you find something ?

>A blackmailer ?

>He doesn't behave like one.

>It is not normal.

>Who knows what can be going through his head.

>But I don't see him as a blackmailer.

>So what is he ?

>What does he want ?

>And why did he have this damn earring ?

>What's the matter with you ?

>Sorry.

>Idiot ! You could have killed me.

>Mom !

>Mom !

>Alex !

>Mom is here.

>Alex ...

>Mom, that man ...

>Alex, stay calm. Mom is here.

>And she will chase away your bad dreams.

>My God.

>The wedding ring.

>Where did you find it ? Who gave it to you ?

>Maybe ...

>Maybe it was this man.

>The one that comes out of the earth.

>No, dreams leave no mark.

>But he wanted to take me ...

>Far from you. He told me to give you this ring.

>No one will take you away from me.

>No one.

>Forget this bad dream.

>And try to sleep.

>Come on.

>Be a good little boy.

>Close your eyes and try to sleep.

>Mom is staying with you.

>Daddy's dead, right ?

>No, he's gone.

>No, I think he's dead. And he comes to see me in my dreams.

>I'm scared, mom.

>I am here. There is no reason to be afraid.

>Mom loves you very much.

>I love you so much.

>I love you too.

>I would really like to know ...

>... where he found this earring.

>The pit has not been opened.

>Try to speak quietly.

>Alex could hear.

>- Alex already knows. - No, thank God, he doesn't know anything.

>And why do you think he's having all those horrible dreams ?

>If you had tried at least once to behave like a father or at least like a friend...

>Linda.

>There are some things that I am not able to do.

>You don't know how to do anything !

>How am I putting up with an asshole like you ?

>Do you know what I'm thinking ?

>Marco must disappear.

>Right now.

>How ? What do you mean ?

>Do you want to kill him the same way you killed Luca ?

>By poisoning his coffee ?

>We know how well it works.

>And it will work great on him.

>I'm afraid not.

>I don't think that will work with Marco.

>And also ...

>don't count on me this time.

>I don't want to be involved in it.

>Listen.

>We shouldn't take any risk.

>What if he really was a hitchhiker ?

>Then he's really fucked.

>He brought it onto himself.

>Why hasn't he left ? Why ?

>You are scared.

>You are afraid and you are jealous.

>- You're scared and ... - I only worry about not going to prison.

>That should worry you too.

>Let's do it.

>And make sure he has no suspicion.

>Fucking do it yourself.

>Let's make one thing clear. I'll never be your accomplice again.

>Asshole.

>Listen to me carefully.

>Once an accomplice ...

>... always an accomplice.

>It's open.

>Thank you.

>Is it very late ?

>Is something wrong ?

>No.

>Everything is fine.

>It is identical to yours.

>"Forever".

>Luca.

>What did you say ?

>Tell me where you found it.

>And the earring too. Tell me where you found it.

>It's been an hour already.

>We should go check on him.

>You think ?

>We can't leave him there all day.

>Sorry.

>What is it ?

>Nothing.

>I had come for the cup.

>You were sleeping and ...

>Nothing seems to wake me up today.

>The coffee was very good.

>It was you who did it ?

>You're in cahoots with him.

>You agreed with him.

>You substituted the poison. Admit it.

>You are crazy.

>Sugar.

>It's sugar.

>Who do you think you're fooling ?

>I am not fooled, is that understood ?

>I'll kill you.

>You understand ?

>I will kill you both.

>I warned you. I'm going to kill you !

>I'm going to kill you. Kill you !

>Kill you !

>Kill you !

>Carlo ?

>Carlo.

>I've been here for half an hour. Didn't you hear me ?

>You are early. Do you want a boat ?

>Yes.

>- I heard a scream earlier. - It was the TV.

>Mom, is that you ?

>Is Carlo gone ?

>Why are you asking me that ?

>I haven't seen him all day.

>It's Marco who takes care of the boats for the fishermen.

>So mom, is he gone ?

>Yes, he's gone.

>Forever ?

>Yes forever.

>I'm happy, you know ?

>Good night mom.

>Where did you find it ?

>The harmonica ? Somewhere in the corner.

>It's Luca's.

>He liked ...

>He liked to sit here and play for hours.

>How was he ?

>He was like so many others.

>He was my first man.

>We loved each other a lot.

>And it ended badly ? Like almost all love stories.

>I cannot live without love.

>Nobody can live without love.

>He was no longer speaking to me. Things weren't the same as before.

>He would stay there for hours and play his harmonica.

>And he drank endlessly.

>He left me all alone.

>Alone and sad.

>He must have had his reasons.

>Did you try to figure it out ?

>I was so young.

>And what happened ?

>There's no point in discussing this.

>Who knows, Linda ...

>You could start all over again.

>Don't leave me alone, Marco.

>Not tonight.

>Dad ! Dad !

>What happened to you ?

>Why did you scream ?

>Don't you wanna tell me, Linda ?

>So...

>What is the problem ?

>Stay calm. Calm.

>Okay ?

>What's the matter ?

>Stay calm.

>What's happening to you ?

>No.

>Who are you ? Who are you ?

>A man who loves you. A man who has always loved you.

>Don't touch me.

>Really, I can't understand you.

>Excuse me. For a moment ...

>you reminded me of someone else.

>Now...

>try to relax, okay ?

>Relax.

>Give me a puff.

>Honey ! Bring me my coffee !

>Please bring me my coffee !

>Honey, I need my coffee, my love !

>The coffee.

>My coffee.

>Enough !

>My love. Bring me my coffee.

>My coffee.

>My coffee. How nice.

>Carlo prepared it.

>It's tasty.

>You're an angel.

>I wouldn't share you with anyone else.

>Where are you going ?

>Come here.

>Linda ! Linda ! Linda !

>Help me, my love ! Help me !

>Please call for help !

>Help me !

>Honey ... my coffee.

>It isn't possible ! No !

>Where are you going ? Did you forget our pact ? "Forever".

>Luca ! You can't be back.

>A ghost.

>A ghost !

>Luca !

>You can't be back. Luca is dead ! Who are you ?

>Alex.

>Open ! Open that door !

>Open ! Alex !

>Do not touch it ! Hands off my son ! Open that door !

>Dad.

>Did you come to get me ?

>Yes.

>I'm scared, dad. Where are you taking me ?

>Do not be afraid.

>We will both be together ... Forever.

>Yes Dad.

>- And what will mom do ? - Don't you worry about that.

>Open up, damn it !

>Alex ! Alex !

>Luca !

>Don't take him from me ...

>Linda.

>Linda, help me.

>I'm dying !

>Linda, why don't you help me ?

>Linda, help me, I'm going to die.

>Don't let me die.

>Are you scared ?

>Not anymore.

>Luca ! Don't kill him !

>Don't kill him !

>Take me ! Take me !

>He is innocent !

>No !

>Luca, please. Don't take him away.

>Do not be afraid. You will be fine with me.

>Yes dad.

>Alex ! I beg of you !

>Luca ! Don't do this !

>Mom !

>It's my life you want ! Let him go !

>We cannot escape our sins.

>Luca ! Tell me what to do !

>Please tell me what you want from me !

>Tell me what to do to save Alex.

>I'm begging you, I'm begging you ...

>What do I have to do ? Whatever it is ...

>Is that what you want from me ?

>Forever.

>Mom !

>Quick !

>There must be ghosts all over the world. They must be as innumerable as grains of sand.
