Original subtitles

Astroman, yesterday mum and I made some changes to my operational base. Look.

I don't even need to introduce you to them, you already know them.

This photo is great!

Mum did that one. And I did the one below.

Mum's the best at drawing. And she wants me to draw well, too.

Actually, she's always nagging me to draw.

These are my new superhero gloves. I wear them when I'm on a mission.

And that jersey is Totti's, the captain of the Rome team.

Dad gave it to me. I'd never spent an entire day with him before.

- Salvatore? - Coming, ma'.

Mum!

Wash your hands and come finish setting the table, please.

There were tons of people at the stadium. Everyone was singing and jumping up and down.

Dad and I started shouting and clapping, too.

Mum and dad never had fun together like that.

Or maybe I never saw them.

Mum didn't come.

He said she doesn't understand certain things and she would have ruined everything.

I didn't tell mum.

But then they fought, like always.

I want to join the astral base. Can I come with you when you bring Astroman my videos?

You're still at that?

- Bollocks! - Hey! Watch your words.

Look, if you're not good, you'll wait for a lot longer.

But I'm always good.

You're always good.

Then I imagine you've finished all your homework, and my phone's still fully charged.

Bollocks!

Mum, watch your words!

You're right, honey, sorry.

You have to do me a favour.

Go to Kofi's and see if he's got some parmesan.

And don't stay to play, dinner's ready.

Fine, but can I have the phone back?

- That way I can make a video. - Alright.

Astroman, to save dinner, I've got a new mission to complete.

Honey, tell Kofi that if he stops by the café tomorrow, coffee's on the house.

I told you I don't need anything!

- Hi, man. - Hi, man.

Want to come in? We can do a quick match.

No, I wish. No arm wrestling.

You have no idea how much I have to do this evening. - Too bad!

Practice, though, you've been losing a lot lately.

Mum wants to know if you've got some parmesan. - Let me check.

- How are the missions going? - Well.

But lately they've been boring, both at home and at school.

What can you do? That's the life of a superhero.

Mum said if you stop by tomorrow, coffee's on the house.

So, I haven't got any parmesan, unfortunately, but I've got some pecorino, here.

- They're identical. - Not exactly identical.

But mum likes this better, and I think you will, too.

Mission accomplished! Dinner is saved!

It's out of juice. Bollocks!

Salvatore?

- I think I've got to go. - Say hi to mum.

- Bye, man. - Bye, man.

Pecorino is good. What's the difference between parmesan and pecorino?

Well, parmesan is made from cow's milk, and pecorino from sheep's milk.

Is it true you like pecorino better?

Yes, it's true.

I mean, they're both good, but I prefer pecorino.

I think I prefer it, too.

Shall we watch a film?

Not a film on TV, no. You can't fast-forward or rewind.

I want to watch Astroman.

What's that noise?

Who is it?

It's your father.

Three years after the pandemic broke out, Minister Cocomeri claims no one has been left behind.

The vaccine and economic help have arrived to whoever needed them.

Another great success of the government, she explained.

It's an initiative that everyone seems to agree with,

both the majority and the opposition,

what the Minister of Education has proposed.

"Act like a hero, bring out your superpowers."

Finished?

Perfect.

Just one episode, then you have to go to bed.

We don't have much time. Soon Captain Flagello will notice our presence.

Don't worry, we'll do it my way.

No, be careful, it's rebounding metal, the harder you hit it...

the harder it hits you back.

The good, old-fashioned way.

Destroy Astroman.

Destroy Astroman. Destroy Astroman.

Oh, no, it's a trap!

Captain Flagello made Telegirl drink the will control potion.

No, no, Telegirl.

No, Telegirl.

No!

No, Telegirl. No!

Telegirl, look at me!

INCOMING CALL DECLINE - ACCEPT

BLOCK NUMBER? YOU WILL NEVER RECEIVE CALLS OR SMS BY...

Telegirl, listen to my voice.

Act like a hero, bring out your superpowers.

Telegirl...

Just in time.

Pick her up.

I'll beam you up.

- Is the episode over? - Not yet.

Don't start with me.

I heard the theme song.

But do you promise to bring Astroman my videos?

Today I made some really cool ones.

I promise.

It's the first thing I do as soon as I go there.

But go to sleep now.

Come on, lie down.

Here it is, I sent it to you.

It's all a bit complicated, I really don't know what to do.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, I promise I'll think about it. We'll talk tomorrow, ok?

Thanks, my friend.

Shit!

Maybe mum needs help.

But grown-ups often pretend not to.

When I join the Astral League, and bring out my superpowers,

I'll take care of helping mum.

And when I'm finally ready, I'll be able to fight by your side, Astroman,

and we'll have incredible adventures, and no one will be scared anymore!

We'll beat all the bad guys

and, as mum says, we must never give up.

And in the end, as always, we'll win.

Astroman!

Salvatore.

Salvatore?

I'm ready, ma'.

Mum! Come on, it's late.

- Why are you laughing? - Is that a new fashion?

- Have you got your books? - Yes.

And your notebooks? Have you got everything?

- Bollocks! Of course I've got them. - Watch your language!

Come on, it's late.

Hello?

- Let me in. - Go into the bathroom. - I said, "Let me in!"

Will you let me in? I've been calling you for two days! What's wrong with you?

Let me see your phone. You blocked me, didn't you?

First it was busy, now nothing. Show me your phone. - I don't even know how to block someone.

- Please, calm down. - You don't even know how?

Give me your phone, I'll show you how.

Where's Salvatore? Salvatore!

Salvatore?

- Where is he? - Please, calm down. - I'm not calming down!

Where is my son? You have to tell me where my son is.

Where is he?

You locked him in the bathroom.

You always defend him, as if he were a girl. You'll turn him into a pansy.

Salvatore, come out of the bathroom, dad has to talk to you. - Enough, you're scaring him.

I'm not scaring him. What am I doing? I just want to see him.

Massimo, enough. - Salvatore, open this fucking door! - Enough, you'll scare him!

Scare him? What do you want?

He's my son!

- Quit it. - You quit it.

UNBLOCK NUMBER?

You have to leave. - What are you talking about? - Massimo, there's a restraining order!

Who gives a shit! - You have to leave! - Will you quit this bullshit?

You can't stop me from seeing my son!

You always say I'm not present as a father, here I am. Now I'm here, I want to see him!

You can't do whatever you like! You can't come here and make a scene like this, understand?

You can't tell me what I can or can't do with my son. You have to mind your own business!

- Salvatore, come out of the bathroom! - Stop it or I'll call the police!

- I'll call them, Massimo. - Call who? Quit it.

Leave.

That's my son, you idiot!

They kick you out of the house now, too?

You're no good at anything.

How about this? I'll take the kid and you go back to being a whore in Rimini.

Salvatore, dad's coming to pick you up from school today.

Vittoria?

Vittoria?

- I'm really sorry to bother you. - What do you mean?

Are you ok? It was him again, wasn't it?

He's a jerk, I'm sorry. He turned up out of the blue and...

I'm mortified to have bothered you.

Mum.

Is it true that dad's going to pick me up from school?

I don't want him to.

How about this? No school today and you come to work with mum, ok?

You know how many missions you can go on today with mum?

Thanks for worrying.

You've got nothing to thank me for.

I didn't know if I should intervene earlier, but in the end... these things are personal.

It's best I don't create more problems for myself, I've got enough already.

This is a bad time for people like me.

Of course, I understand.

Hey, are you going to work with your smock on?

You were really brave, you know?

My young mum, a superhero's got nothing to fear.

Courage must guide him, always.

I've got to get to work. Bye, man.

- Bye, man. - Bye, Kofi.

There's a secret shortcut behind the house. Mum says I shouldn't take it at night

And if I'm alone, not during the day, either.

But once in a while, with my friends,

when we were going to the food stand to meet the other kids,

I've taken it, but she doesn't know that.

We always played football with my friends in the square in front of the food stand.

Sometimes, in the evening, they'd give me a sandwich with sausage, cheese and peppers.

It was great, but then it closed.

Mum said they ran out of money, but it seems strange to me,

because my friends and I really ate a lot of sandwiches there.

It always stinks at the bus stop. It's because of the rubbish bins, which are always full.

Once, a giant rat came out of a black rubbish bag.

Mum started screaming, and she said that if a rat bit me, I could even die.

Vittoria, honey.

- You look so tired, are you alright? - Hi.

And your boyfriend gets more and more handsome. Hi, sweetie!

Indeed, everyone's jealous of him.

Too bad he loves his superheroes more than me, right?

Mum!

Don't be silly! Of course I'm thinking about what you told me about Milan.

Sorry, I sent that too soon. I was saying, of course I'm thinking about Milan, but how can I?

Salvatore's got school, I've got work.

And we can't stay with you forever, can we?

Concentrate, sweetie, maybe you'll bring us luck and make the bus come.

I'll try.

You would do her.

Gross. Besides, you're the one looking at her. - Quit it!

No luck. Yes, I asked around.

It seems that if Flaviano doesn't give me the password, I can't use those videos, unfortunately.

At least that's what the lawyer says.

- Mum. - Here, honey.

The regenerating liquid isn't working. The potion is too strong.

I have to use my superpowers to try to save her.

If I don't do something, she'll die.

Act like a hero, bring out your superpowers!

It's really late. What a mess today.

Let's see if I can work some magic.

Just a minute.

Hi, Gabry! - Honey, will you give us a lift? We're running late.

- Of course, get in. - Come on, honey, let's go.

This seat is always yours.

- Thanks. - Hi.

What a handsome little boy!

Look, she's telling you to fuck off.

Nice to meet you, Gloria. Sorry that the back seats aren't very comfortable.

Are you kidding? The fact that you're giving us a lift...

I finally get to meet you. Nice to meet you, I'm Vittoria. Gabriella has told me all about you.

There. Even before meeting you, Gabriella's already humiliated me.

Sorry, I shouldn't swear, but sometimes I can't help myself.

Although I'm sure you know more swear words than me.

- Gloria! - It's true, I know tons.

- Hey! - Don't listen to her, little one.

As soon as she opens her mouth, she'll say anything.

You're so handsome!

And you! You've barely met him and you're already ruining him.

Sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't introduce you to certain people.

Are you alright? You're absorbing too much negative energy.

Each of us has a superpower hidden inside of us, and it's never by chance.

- I can do this. - Don't be a hero.

But we are superheroes!

I've got a solution.

If we can't regenerate Telegirl, we'll regenerate Ultradoc while he regenerates Telegirl,

who can't be regenerated by the regenerating liquid.

- Mum? - Yes, honey?

What do you think my superpower might be?

Let's see...

You're...

You're great at drawing. That could be your superpower.

Mum, that's not a superpower.

- No? - No.

Ok, let me think.

Well, you're always glued to that mobile phone.

Maybe soon you'll be able to watch ten videos at a time. - Mum, be serious.

What could it be?

What would you like?

I don't know. There are lots I like.

- Like? - Maybe...

I'm torn between...

super strength like Powerboy

and... moving things like Telegirl.

But I definitely wish I was as brave as Astroman.

Are you thinking about what happened earlier?

A little.

Dad's not mad at you. That's just the way he is.

Were you scared?

Yeah.

I'd like to help you.

Honey, don't bite your nails.

Even if you got your vaccine, you still need to be careful.

Besides, you always help me.

You're strong, you're brave.

You're the best child I could ever want, understand?

And voilà! Here we are.

- Regenerating liquid? - Give me lots.

You have to be good today, ok?

Sorry, I know I'm late. You have no idea what a morning it's been.

Good morning, to start. Don't tell me about difficult mornings, I'm not in the mood.

Honey, wait here.

Good morning. If anyone parked illegally, move your car, the parking cops are here.

Hey, young man! You're so pretty.

A cappuccino in a big mug and a chocolate brioche. Let's go all out!

There's no chocolate left, just cream and vegan.

They make vegan brioches now? Flour's not alive.

Sorry, what about a brioche bothers a vegan?

A vegan brioche is made with different butter, it's not an animal product.

- So what kind of brioche do you want? - Give me a vegan one, let me taste.

Honey, come here a minute.

What's he doing here?

Look, I didn't know who to leave him with. This morning was a disaster. - I don't care.

You already arrived late, and you brought your kid, too. This isn't a nursery school.

No, of course not.

- It's just for today. - You think my father's ok with that?

He pays for what he drinks.

Be thankful that I opened up for you today.

Of course. - Don't make that face, you should thank us, and instead you act like that.

We're helping you, and we're paying you, too.

Vittoria, I don't understand. What else do you want us to do for you?

Come on, sweetie, let's go over there.

Let's sit down here, by the gentleman.

Today's going to be a long day, sweetie.

You've got lots of things to do, right?

You could start with the homework you didn't do yesterday, that would make me happy.

Fine, I'll make you happy.

Can I have your phone?

Fine.

But don't bother anyone, ok?

Stay here, nice and quiet.

- Mum. - Yes?

Why did that super bad lady say she's helping us? It's not true.

Honey, don't point, you know better.

Besides...

sometimes super bad people pay our salary.

Honey, when you're done, you can get to work!

Go ahead mum, don't worry. I'll be here, nice and quiet.

Vittoria?

Wake up, honey, you're sleeping this morning. I've got to go, I've got an appointment.

I'm not sure when I'll be back. I've got a new aesthetician and I don't know how long she'll take.

She's not even Italian.

I'm at work with mum. There's a super bad lady here, and soon Flaviano will be here.

Another super bad guy, even worse, who really scares mum.

I absolutely must find out what my superpower is.

- Are you on the phone? - It's for Astroman. I'm makin' a video.

- I'm making a video. - Better.

If you promise me you'll do your homework, I'll give you this.

Yeah, hot chocolate!

I promise I'll do all my homework.

Where is your homework?

Ready, guys?

I don't think it works.

Are you sure that's your superpower?

Then try something else.

Have you found anything out so far?

No.

I know how to find out what your superpower is. - How do you know?

Because I'm friends with lots of superheroes and I know their secrets,

but I don't know if I can tell you.

Come on... Come on!

- I don't know. - Come on, I swear I won't tell anyone!

I don't know if I can trust you. You're just a child, after all.

At school, everyone trusts me. And I know how to keep a secret.

I know tons that I've never told anyone, not even mum knows them.

- Come on! - Fine, you've convinced me.

For a superhero to be aware of his superpower,

he has to pass three tests.

First, he has to get a present from a superhero.

Second, steal something from a bad guy.

From a super... bad guy.

Yes, you're right, from a super bad guy.

And finally, the third test consists in...

In? - Consists in... saving someone by performing an act of courage.

An act of courage might be drinking a cappuccino in the morning, instead of a beer.

I'm sure the doctor will try today, too.

Only death can stop me, maybe.

Are you in the queue for the hospital? Are you alright?

Alright is a bit much, but as long as it doesn't get worse, it's ok.

Stop bothering the customers.

- You've got homework to do. - I'm doing it.

Why does he have to go to the hospital?

The gentleman has to go to the hospital because he doesn't take care of himself.

That's not true. See how much fun I'm having?

- What's your name, little one? - Salvatore.

You're special, that's why we understand each other.

I have a way to help you.

- Mum's got some regenerating liquid. - What?

From Astroman!

Wait here, don't go away.

- Mum, I'm going to the bathroom. - If you wait five minutes, I'll come with you.

- No, mum, I'll go by myself. - Are you sure? It won't be like last time?

- Coffee? - Yes.

I wanted to help the guy with regenerating liquid, but in the end I got scared.

Now I understand why there aren't many superheroes.

Because it's really hard to become one.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

- Thank you. - Madam. Have a nice day.

- The usual? - Yes, please.

- Good morning, everyone. - Hi.

How'd it go at the aesthetician's?

Listen, honey, this is no good. I can't leave and come back to find this mess.

Dirty mugs, full rubbish bins. - They were half empty. - You even talk back, Vittoria?

The bill? I'll be right there.

So...

- Did you go to the bathroom? - No.

- Sorry, Mara, have you got a light? - Hold on, Gaetano, let me find one.

Good morning. - Sell me a lighter, so you can make some money today.

- Good morning, tell me. - I was looking for Vittoria.

She'll be right back. She's never around...

Yes?

- Where is Vittoria? - Does everyone want her today?

- Anyway, she's not here. - She's not here? - No, I haven't seen her today. - You haven't seen her?

No. If you see her, tell her I'm waiting for her.

- You haven't seen her? - No.

Sir, lighter. I'm hungry.

- Sir, lighter! - Move it, Blackie. - Sir, one euro.

Lighter, I'm hungry. I have to eat, my friend. One euro.

- Will you move it? - One euro, my friend.

One euro, sir. Lighter, one euro.

I'm hungry, I have to eat. One euro. - Burn yourself with that lighter. - Lighter, one euro!

So you did have a lighter. Give me a light.

Here, you can keep it.

Thanks.

Hi, man. - Hi, man. How did you do all that with just a lighter?

That was awesome! - Well, sometimes small objects can be special.

This comes straight from the Astral League.

It only works once. It can hold whatever object you wish.

- But it doesn't always work, right? - No, it works.

For clever children who do what their mums say.

Get back to your homework, then you can open the present. - Straight away!

- Thank you so much! Bye, man. - Bye, man.

- Well? - I love him.

He kills me with all his superhero stories.

- Coffee? - It's the least you can do.

I've passed one test, right?

I'm sorry dad's always angry.

Mum said it's not my fault,

but... I think it might be this time.

I wanted to finish watching the episode.

And, after he calls, mum cries

or gets angry.

Besides, I know he never wants to talk to me.

So I blocked him.

I'm not brave enough to tell mum.

Mara, thank you so much for earlier.

I only covered for you because I don't like your ex at all, and he scares the customers away.

You mustn't bring your problems here.

You're right, but it's not my fault if...

Of course not, Vittoria.

It's never your fault, is it?

Poor thing.

And you've got to pay for your immigrant friend's coffee, and the kid's hot chocolate.

You thought I wouldn't notice?

Of course not. I know...

All I know is that this morning you were late, you brought your kid,

you're offering drinks to everyone, you bring in that rude ex of yours, and then all your friends.

What are you shouting about?

- Like that, dad? Not even good morning? - Yeah, hi.

I know you've brought your son. Let me say hi, he loves me.

Fine, I get it. I'm going to have a smoke.

Honey, Flaviano wants to say hi. Come on.

You missed me, didn't you?

You've lost weight. We should see each other more often.

This is my friend Ettore.

You can thank me later.

- Nice to meet you, Vittoria. - Flaviano told me that you need help.

What can I do? This girl melts my heart.

- Just look at her face. - Shall we sit down a minute?

- I'd go in the back, if you don't mind. - Only insects hide.

I love the light of day.

Honey, go back to your place. I need to speak to this man a minute.

Please, have a seat.

- I'd like this to be quick. - Haste makes waste, as you know.

Your boss thinks very highly of you, you know?

I've brought the ring, here it is.

It's important for your superiors to think highly of you.

It's an old family ring, with a lot of history.

I've always been convinced that the years and history are printed on precious gems.

But to give a value to someone's story, you need to know it.

So tell me.

- What's your story? - My story is normal.

- I need to get back to work... - Don't worry.

Flaviano won't mind if you stay here with me for a bit.

Fine, what do you want to know?

Let's get straight to the point.

300 euros.

No, maybe you didn't look carefully. It's worth much more.

A single mum, I imagine your husband's gone, maybe an alcoholic, maybe dead.

He left you and your son, along with the bills, the debts...

Trust me, I looked carefully.

It's worth 300 euros to me.

How dare you?

I won't accept less than 600 euros.

- What did you say your son's name was? - Why?

Because he's there, spying on us.

Come here, little one.

You don't need to eavesdrop.

But it's not his fault.

Good manners depend on the parents.

- Are you leaving? - Yes.

- And the ring? - You don't seem interested.

That annuls any hope of an agreement.

Keep the ring.

Wait.

I had it appraised, it's worth at least 1000 euros.

Let's at least do 350.

- But that's grandma's ring! - Honey, go back to your seat.

Now, if you want, you can offer me a drink.

Astroman, how do we know if this is the right way?

We don't know. A superhero always follows his instinct.

And mine tells me that this is the right way.

Did you see? They nominated Greta Thunberg to European Parliament.

- So she can keep bugging us about ecology. - Vittoria, two coffees, please. - Certainly.

My cop friend told me that I have to hang this up, or they'll give us a fine.

Help me decide where.

- Put it there. - Vittoria?

Put it there. - Dad, you can't see it there, there's the coffee machine.

- I told you to put it there! - See? You can't see it.

Will you mind your own business? This café is mine! - Dad, you'll get a fine!

I'll talk to the cops.

Then put it back over there.

- A little higher, and a little more to the right. - Dad, you're putting it where I said.

That's perfect, be nice.

Vittoria, it's a bit crooked. Can you straighten it, please?

Goodness, gracious. Would you stop complaining? It's fine like that!

Vittoria, not like that, straight! Do you know how to hang up a poster?

No, Vittoria, further down.

- There? - Yeah. A bit higher, Vittoria.

Hold on, let me see if you can see it from the door. - A bit more to the right.

Don't start.

- Don't start what, dad? To the right... - No, no, no, higher!

Sorry, Vittoria, it's crooked, will you straighten it? - Listen, Vittoria!

Vittoria, listen to me. Hang it up like that.

Will you tell me something? Why do you ask me things if afterwards you don't listen, dad?

I ask you and then we do things my way.

Yes, trust me. I've studied this, understand?

You should have seen him.

He had many more arms than a normal person; disgusting!

But I got back mum's ring, it's her favourite.

I think I've passed the second test, too.

So...

I wanted to ask you if...

I can enter the Astral League even if I don't pass the third test.

But now I have to go.

Are you leaving? I'll accompany you.

- See you. Bye. - See you.

I know it went well, you agreed on something.

Now you're in debt. You know that?

You could answer!

Sorry, I've got a lot to do.

You could be kind to those who worry about you.

How much have you got to do? I even let you work out at my café!

Vittoria!

You're banging everything, what's going on? You know I don't like that.

Come here, sit down and let's talk about it.

You can tell me everything.

Mara, a grappa for me and some juice for Vittoria.

Where I'm from, when someone does you a favour, you repay them.

Don't worry, I'm not asking you for money.

Will you bring me a beer when you can, please? Thanks.

Actually, I'll even offer you some money.

It'll just be ten minutes.

No, don't drink that, mum! It's the will control potion! And you, leave her alone!

You can't do anything. The Astral League is protecting us.

What's wrong with your son?

Go back to your seat.

Don't do this.

Vittoria, what's going on? You're making a lot of noise. - Mum? - Leave me alone!

RELAX YOUR BREATH AND YOUR HEART

This time I really did fail.

Mum drank the will control potion...

and I couldn't stop her.

I don't know what to do. I'm scared.

I need you to tell me how to save her.

I need help...

No, not this, too.

Hi, mum.

Are you ok?

I know it might not be the time, but...

have you got the charger?

I told you to leave me alone for five minutes. Go back inside and quit being glued to that phone!

I'm not a superhero. Without your help, I never would have made it.

We all need help. None of us is worth anything alone.

It's solidarity that makes us strong and allows us to overcome obstacles.

That's why there's always a superhero ready to help those who deserve it.

I deserve it, I deserve it, I deserve it!

- Here you are, guys. - Thanks. - Thanks.

Cleared your head?

Ah, you're back? Shall we start working today?

Do you feel alright?

What's wrong? Have a seat.

Have a seat.

What's wrong?

Breathe. Everything ok?

Hold on, I'll get you a glass of water.

Water.

Relax, his blood sugar's just low.

Have a sip.

What do you feel?

Are you alright?

- I'm alright. - You sure?

You sure?

Guys, take him outside, get him some fresh air. - Call an ambulance.

What's going on? What do you feel?

- Call an ambulance! - I'm calling, relax!

So, guys, I was doing my thing when this guy just suddenly collapsed.

- Look. Do you think he's dead? - Yes, at the café!

He didn't feel well. I don't know, he fainted. He's got all the negative energy inside of him!

We need regenerating liquid!

The ambulance is coming.

My gloves.

You have to give him this. It's regenerating liquid, it's the only thing that can save him!

Thanks, we'll need that.

The ambulance is here. Where are they taking him?

- As long as they take him away from here. - Let's go find out.

Excuse me. I'll keep you updated.

Hi, I'm Mara and I'm bad. I'm the most bad of all.

Today I went to the aesthetician's and got these nails. It took her ages.

She wasn't even Italian!

Honey, when you're done, you can get to work!

And you still have to pay me for your son's hot chocolate.

Vittoria!

Superhero, can I have a sip?

Collect your things, it's time to go home.

Would you like it if we moved to a new city?

You could make lots of new friends, and have lots of new adventures.

Would you like that?

I don't believe in bad luck or coincidences.

When it happens, I think there's always a reason.

It's because of how I was raised.

We're pragmatic people, not inclined to fantasy.

So...

When I could no longer find the gem I bought today,

I thought about you and your face when you sold it to me.

Objects don't just leave your pockets,

unless...

someone takes them.

Am I right? - I don't know what you're talking about. I gave you the ring and that was it.

And I suppose you didn't find it when you were cleaning today.

No, I didn't find anything.

Because you'd tell me, right?

- I have to close now. - I have my doubts.

As would any reasonable person.

Luckily, we have a way to find out.

There are the tapes.

Who are you? I don't know you! I'm not showing you anything!

Besides, you need the password.

What's the problem?

- What is it? - I think I did something I shouldn't have.

- Ettorino, what is it? - There's a problem.

I need to see the tapes from your surveillance cameras.

The young lady here says you need a password.

Are you at the café? What happened?

What happened is your friend here is convinced someone stole something,

so he wants to see what happened in here, of course.

So will you please give us the password? So we can watch this video.

Can you hear us? Do you understand?

Yes, I understand, but the cameras are often switched off.

Give us the password, then we'll see what they caught. - Again, Vittoria?

I told you they don't work. Plus, I don't even remember the password!

How about this? Ettore, turn off the speakerphone.

Of course.

300 euros.

Yours, hers, I don't much care.

Alright.

Fine.

Take care, bye.

You should take better care of your gems.

Astroman, it was the craziest day ever.

I told mum I took Insect Man's ring.

She really loves that ring.

It's the only thing she has of Grandma Anna's.

Mum says that we will never go back to that café.

Not her and not me.

But she also got angry, she made me promise I'll never steal anything from anyone again,

not from good guys or bad guys.

That's fine by me.

But deep down, I think... she's happy to have her ring back.

Even if she got angry, I decided to tell her everything,

even that I'd blocked dad's number, so it was my fault he got angry with us.

She said she knew that, and she also knew how to unblock him,

but she didn't do it.

Come on, let's go that way.

Come on, sweetie!

Come on.

Go inside.

- What are you doing? - Massimo!

- Help me! Open up! - Have you gone mad? - Salvatore, come on! - Open up!

I passed all the tests you asked me to!

- Help me! - Vittoria, leave me alone!

Help! Open up!

Astroman, open up!

Move!

- Salvatore? - Astroman... - Dad's here. - Please.

Let me in, please! Help me!

Help!

Let me in! Help!

Mum told me I have the power to see people's souls.

That's why, she says, sometimes I see people with black eyes.

The power to see people's souls.

To understand if they're superheroes or super bad guys.

It could be true.

In the end, everything returns to where it came from.
