Let go of me!

I'm telling you again. Let go. Help.

I'm telling you again!

Let go!

Let go! Help!

MILAN

Francesca Damiani... for you.

Girls, don't drop the costumes on the floor. They'll be ruined. Please!

What does the prince say?

- That he wants to see me. - Only see you?

Definitely not!

I'm eating an ice cream.

It's a reward.

Well, yes, it went well, I really like working with this designer.

OK, but did you see the picture of the flowers?

I thought it was a nice gesture.

Yes, a little invasive. I'm seeing him later.

I know he wants to fuck.

But it's me who decides, I promise you.

I'm always careful.

Talk to you later.

All right. Bye.

Stop it, you idiot.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Fly!

You act so cool and you can't even win a toy?

I'm very disappointed, Leo.

I had other things on my mind.

Such as?

- Spend the night with me. - No.

Come on, Francesca.

Gorgeous!

Good!

Very, very good! Very, very good!

Turn the other way again.

Now look a little to the left.

Face towards your leg. OK, perfect.

OK, let's do it again.

Good, stop like that, perfect. Gorgeous.

What nice trousers.

What are you doing here?

I'm spying on you!

I had things to do round here.

Is the photo shoot finished?

Yes, now.

So are you free tonight?

- Depends. - I'm having a party at my place

and you are officially invited.

A few friends.

You can't say no.

I have to study.

I have an exam on Monday, so...

I promise you I won't bother you at the weekend,

but tonight I don't want to give up on you.

I'll let you know.

I'll leave you to your things.

- And I don't even deserve a kiss? - No.

Now the party can begin.

Stop it, they're looking at us.

You're hurting me!

Hey, you're Francesca, right?

Yes, why?

Because. I've heard about you.

Well, good things, I hope.

Just a few guests, eh?

Word got out.

Why were you so late getting here?

Are you jealous?

I'm always jealous of my things.

Ah, your things?

But who's that?

- Fuck! - Giada!

- Do you know each other? - Yes, we're at the same agency.

We're the devil and the holy water.

Guess who's the devil.

Interesting.

Whenever you want, honey.

Asshole!

Why?

I was only mucking about.

Who's jealous now?

Francesca?

Look.

No.

Maybe next time.

Sorry I'm late.

You don't look in such good shape.

I drank a little.

Don't drive tonight.

I'll take a taxi, don't worry.

I'm going to get something to drink.

Stay here tonight.

No.

I have two free rooms.

I promise you I'll let you sleep.

I'll think about it.

Look.

You're a total dick!

What are you saying? I thought you'd like it. Why react like this?

Because the truth is that you're all the same.

You just like playing dirty so much,

but do you have any idea what respect for someone is?

I'm not like the others.

Is that clear?

You missed the coolest part of the party!

I prefer other things.

When they reach 40, they need to be replaced with two of 20.

You underestimate the experience, my friend.

My taxi's arrived... fortunately.

- I'll come with you. - Let's go.

Give me another one.

They're here.

You still after that girl?

It's becoming an obsession.

- When you fixate on something... - Show them in, come on.

Gentlemen, come in.

Sofia's always punctual, eh?

I'm texting her.

- Good morning. - Monsieur Germani, bonjour.

Please. Let's sit down.

We're curious to know what you think.

Is Leonardo coming?

Call him.

The tender, like every year, closes on the 30th of this month.

We'll prepare the documents for you.

They'll make the payment in cryptocurrency.

Right, let's see.

What?

Here he is, the entrepreneur of the year!

What we need to do to drag you out of that office?

Come on, come to the club!

Look at the state of you!

Closed in the office pining for a little girl, come on.

- Forget it. - Milan's full of pussy,

and what do you do? You're after one that won't even give you a sniff.

Come on, we'll wait for you!

No, I'm busy tonight. You go ahead.

Come on, don't be an asshole!

Your loss, Leo!

- Fine, I'd say. - Yeah.

We have to celebrate you getting top marks.

Not quite top.

It's been two days you've barely replied to my messages.

You never realize how wrong you are, do you?

- If this is about the other night... - Does it seem like nothing?

I don't understand what was wrong, They were great photos, weren't they?

The problem isn't the photos!

It's that you shouldn't have.

And I don't even dare imagine how you got them.

- Francesca, listen... - You had no right.

I just wanted to show how proud I am of you.

I have my privacy.

You shouldn't have done that.

Not to mention the fucking chat I heard you having with Michael!

I play with him!

That was just fucking guy stuff.

Sure!

You don't realize how beautiful you are.

I acted in good faith.

And you're more beautiful when you get angry.

Come on, spend the day with me.

- I have a lot of things to do. - Do them another time.

There's someone here who wants to meet you.

- Who? - Look behind you.

- How much did it cost? - I won it!

Yes, sure, right.

Ugo, tell Francesca I won you.

Ugo? Please, let's change his name, though.

- Spartaco? - No, he needs something more noble,

- like Carlo Alberto. - Ugo was better.

Take his trousers off.

Imaginative.

He's lovely.

Anyway, this is kidnap!

And you are my prisoner from this moment on.

You haven't traveled much, have you?

No. Actually, no.

I've been to Paris, a few Spanish cities, but...

I haven't traveled.

Those who never move are unaware of their chains.

And every now and then,

you also have to go somewhere else.

You forgot the label.

What's up?

Can I consider myself forgiven?

Leo, you are who you are.

It's me who still has to understand if...

if I really like what you are.

I think you're being conditioned by a past that I don't know.

I told you, I'm not like the others.

And who are you?

Find out.

Stop it!

Can you tell me what the problem is?

I don't want to fall in love again with the wrong person.

And with you it's so complicated.

You're perfect, Leo, though...

then you change and I don't understand anything anymore.

You almost frighten me.

Look, it's simpler than that.

It's beautiful here.

Don't make too much noise, we're not alone.

Who's here?

Say hello to Luigi.

Hello, Luigi.

What a moron you are.

And these?

I thought you might need a few things.

You really thought I could get your size wrong?

No.

Thanks.

Come on, try it later.

Now I want to show you the rest of the house, come on.

Open this.

You've made a lot of plans it seems.

Yes, but not what you think, though.

Come on, don't worry.

So what ones?

Some friends will join us tomorrow

because like every year I'm celebrating my birthday here.

Ah! And when were you thinking of telling me?

This time I'll make an exception!

But I ask you just one thing...

Stop treating me like an idiot.

You don't need to always tell me the same things.

We even have separate rooms.

It'll only happen if you want it to.

Thanks.

MORNING. SEE YOU AT 5 PM. I'LL CALL YOU LATER. LEO

I'm in Budapest.

It's all so surreal.

He's a bit ambiguous.

But I think he loves me.

I don't know how it'll go with him, to be honest.

You know what I say? For now I'll enjoy the moment.

I love you.

A big kiss.

It's a great view. You'll receive the first sections in two days.

OK. Sounds good.

-See you. -See you.

Come with me.

- You're an idiot. - Why? What have I done?

And worst of all, you never realize when you fuck up.

If you're referring to that joke, I only wanted to lighten things up.

You said the most wrong thing at the most wrong time.

And never dare to interrupt me again.

Especially not when I'm negotiating.

Come on, it wasn't that serious, was it?

Look, Michael, if you want to work for me,

the time has come for you to realize that in my business,

I'm the one who decides what's serious and what isn't.

And I'm always the one who decides whether you can intervene or not.

I hope that was clear enough.

See you tonight in Madarhegy.

Are you not ready yet?

- Are you here as well? - See?

Leo called me so you wouldn't feel too lost.

It's one of Leo's gifts.

Try it if you want.

Forget it.

Do you realize how lucky you are?

You think?

There are some who'd sell their soul to be in your place.

I'm keeping this.

Come on, hurry up. See you downstairs.

- Hello. - My compliments.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Happy birthday. - Thanks.

- Aren't you going to open it? - No.

I'd rather to do it with you later.

Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday to Leonardo...

Happy birthday to you...

Do you think this is a bad time?

A YEAR LATER

- So how's it going? - Good,

but the Latin lessons are a real pain in the ass!

I can't wait to start the writing workshop.

Which is bound to be less boring that the Latin lessons.

Yes, it's the course that interests me the most.

No, thanks.

What are you doing later?

I have an appointment at five.

Why?

Do you need something?

Just a couple of things.

Then you don't need me, you just need a credit card.

- Fuck, be careful. - Excuse me!

- I'm mortified! Sorry. - Leave it.

Excuse me.

Can we try to rinse it immediately?

Maybe limit the damage.

It seems to be going away.

Sorry!

If it's still stained you'll have to pay a forfeit.

The last time I paid a forfeit I was 11 years old.

Sorry.

There, done.

- Is there a mark? - No.

It seems to me there's still a mark, eh?

Not to me.

Can I invite you to dinner?

I'm seeing someone.

And what's the problem?

I'll talk to your boyfriend.

Since the shirt is clean, I can go.

Love?

Let's go, come on, I've already paid.

Everything all right?

Yes, of course.

- Come on... - How stupid you are.

What is it?

- Is everything OK? - Yeah.

It was Mom, she says you're a prick.

They still talking about it!

Yeah.

What the fuck's it got to do with you? It was a year ago.

It's not like if someone fucks up at your house, you're responsible.

And then you were cleared, right? End of.

She was with me,

that's why the lawyer advised me to keep a low profile.

At least until it's sorted.

Hole!

An email's arrived from the French.

They want an answer within the week, otherwise no transaction with you.

This could be a problem right now.

You need help?

No, let me think. But tell them it'll be sorted within the week.

Your wife called.

She contacted the lawyers for the villa by the sea.

Eh, no, fuck! The villa by the sea, no!

She also wanted to tell you that you're a prick.

It was her father...

Yes, the father of her...

It's terrible.

MISSING IN BUDAPEST. NO NEW TRACES

I need to go.

- Will I come with you? - No.

Stay if you want, Milena has to close up.

- I'll call you later. - OK.

Text when you get there.

Dad, I'm going to Varese, not Greenland!

New shirt?

Ah, I guess the rose isn't for me!

Trouble ahead!

- When are you coming back? - I don't know. Bye.

This is for you.

- What's your name? - Emanuelle.

Ah, French?

Half.

Dentist?

What do you want?

I know this area like the back of my hand, but I don't know you.

- Why have I never seen you before? - I'm not from round here.

And where are you from?

You know blue roses don't exist in nature?

They're artificial flowers.

They symbolize the desire to achieve the impossible.

I usually achieve it.

Thanks for the rose.

Will I see you again?

Sorry, someone's waiting for me.

Anyway, I'm Leonardo.

BUSINESS CONSULTANT

DENTAL PRACTICE

DOCTOR E. RODIGIANI SPECIALIST IN PSYCHOSEXOLOGY

SPECIALIST STUDIO PSYCHOSEXUALIST

DOCTOR E. RODIGIANI

- Hello. You're Mr...? - Germani.

I don't have an appointment, but I have to ask Dr. Rodigiani one thing.

- It'll be a matter of minutes. - She's busy at the moment,

but if you want to sit down...

- I prefer to stand. - As you like.

UNIVERSITY OF MILAN

Dr. Rodigiani.

Tell me, do you have an appointment?

- No. - Get one the next time, please.

Take a seat. I'll be right with you.

Hello, Emanuelle. When you want to talk about it, come back.

Thanks, Elena, you're very kind.

I'll see you again soon.

Goodbye.

Let's go, love.

So what brings you here?

What's wrong? Everything OK?

Yes, yes.

No, actually.

Before being your employee I'm your friend, right?

You can talk with me.

I think...

- I think I'm being followed. - Really?

Who are you thinking of?

I don't know exactly, but...

Maybe my wife needs some crap to take to court,

and that would be the lesser evil.

Or?

Or the police for the Francesca business,

or worse, the Tax Police.

Fuck! So?

So I can't do anything risky, Michael.

But the Malta contract has to be concluded this week.

- You heard Milena too, right? - Yes.

I also asked you if you needed a hand.

OK. Look, if you promise you won't be an idiot, you can go to Malta alone.

But before you do or say anything you have to tell me.

Don't worry.

Hello.

Good evening.

May we?

You could have at least asked first, no?

This is Raffaella, my partner.

- This is Michael. - Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Very pleased to meet you.

Roman?

Perceptive!

Have you been together a long time?

Look, we don't have to have a conversation, eh?

It was just to break the ice.

- Discussing my business? - Yes.

So, you're not a psychologist.

No. I'm a writer.

Who writes books for the mad.

That's why you were at Dr. Rodigiani's yesterday?

Yes, Elena's helping me with research for my new book.

Speaking of which, yesterday's advice must have been useful.

Actually, I left after 10 minutes.

What research are you doing?

On the psycho-social effects of the 'DO UT DES'.

- Explain that to me. - Practically...

I'm doing some experiments to understand what people

are willing to do to satisfy their wishes.

- This is life, I would say. - Yes,

but I want to understand

to what extent a person is willing to push themselves.

I want to verify whether in return for something

they really want,

a human being is capable of confessing

and facing their greatest fears.

I have no fears.

We all have fears.

Legal counsel?

A sort of lawyer.

I specialize in contracts on the blockchain.

Interesting.

So... bitcoin, cryptocurrencies,

stuff like that, basically.

Yeah, stuff like that.

And how does it work?

I don't think you would understand!

But you can explain it to me, right?

- Won't you explain it to me? - No.

I want to participate in your experiment.

Test me.

- We're late. - Ah, is it already time?

- Let's go. - Yes.

When do we start?

Enjoy your evening.

- Shall we go? - Yes.

Tell me your fear.

Come on, don't pretend with me you're invincible.

- Death. - No.

Death isn't part of the game.

- You didn't say that. - I'm saying it now.

Well?

- Pain. - Physical?

Yes.

I won't allow anyone touch me if not for sex.

You don't have much faith in people.

In your head every caress could become a slap.

We'll work on it.

I'm afraid I have to go back to the office.

Is that OK as a fear?

I would say no.

Thanks.

"Do ut des".

Where's my reward?

I'll call you.

You need anything else before I go?

No, on you go.

- Michael was looking for you. - Tell him I'll call him back.

Thanks.

- Is there anything else? - Your wife called.

- I'm a prick, right? - Yes,

a prick.

I love the smell of your skin.

Ah, yeah?

I changed cream.

You really are romantic.

YOU FREE TOMORROW?

But doesn't he have a life, eh?

He's obsessed with you.

Think of him...

as my guinea pig.

He's funny.

He's not funny at all.

3 PM AT YOURS. SEND ME THE ADDRESS

I've finished.

It's late.

You're right, you better get going.

I don't like it when you get back late.

It would be enough if you let me sleep here.

We've been together for months and I've never spent a night with you.

I need to write at night and...

Be alone, eh?

Eh? I already told you.

I want only you.

Only you.

3 PM AT YOURS. SEND ME THE ADDRESS.

So you're alive!

Alive and well.

- I'm in the office. Book it. - Give me half an hour.

Wait, get something to drink.

You get busy in the meantime.

- But is someone there? - If they were?

Honey,

just have fun.

Who is it?

My first massage at 45.

What you've missed, eh?

- It's very nice. - See?

No pain.

- What the fuck are you doing? - You asked for it.

We have a deal.

Only fools don't change their minds.

The day will come when you'll beg me.

Tell me your second fear.

Dad?

We're here!

Sorry. Did I interrupt something?

Giulia, this is Emanuelle.

- This is Giulia, my daughter. - We've met before, I think.

- Are you a writer? - That's right.

Emanuelle Cipriani.

That's why you have a familiar face. Cool! I'm going to be a writer too!

Well, you seem to have the determination.

- And that's fundamental. - Yeah.

Dad, can I take your car? Mine's at the garage.

- You know you can't drive it! - Come on, Dad, the Mini at least.

I think I'll be late tonight and I don't want to take a taxi.

- What are you doing tonight? - I'm going out with friends.

What friends?

The usual, Dad. Don't worry. I'll take the Mini.

- Giulia, be careful. - I'll bring it back in one piece.

I was talking about you.

You wanted to know what my great fear was?

You just met her.

I imagined that.

Isn't it time for my reward yet?

A surprise that you'll really like.

But it's not time yet.

- Who will we dedicate it to? - Riccardo.

To Riccardo.

- Thanks, Riccardo. - Thank you.

'INNOCENT' BY EMANUELLE CIPRIANI

Alessio.

To Beatrice.

Laura.

- To Orga. - Okay.

- Thanks. - Thank you very much.

- My hand's sore. - A little longer and we're done.

- Who shall we dedicate it to? - To Leonardo.

You didn't call me.

She obviously didn't want to hear from you.

Please stop. This isn't the place.

- Thank you for coming. - Bye.

- Stop it. - What?

Really?

Why do you have to make these scenes...?

Michael, everything all right?

Good, so they confirmed they'll meet the deadlines, I imagine?

The code instead, when will they send that?

OK, go back to Milan. See you tomorrow.

REMEMBER THAT I LEAD THE GAME

You can't take it anymore?

Yes, you're too oppressive, love.

But that's not how it works.

Well?

I'm forming my vision in my mind.

You have to be fucking patient.

You're not Leonardo.

- Yes, Milena. - Hi, are you coming to the office?

Yes, I'll be there soon, I'm almost done. Why?

- The documents to sign have arrived. - Wait a moment...

REMEMBER YOU HAVE AN AWARD TO COLLECT?

YOUR TIME HAS COME. IN HALF AN HOUR AT MINE

Milena, I'll call you back.

Ten minutes, eh?

What a good boy!

I knew that sooner or later you'd have given in.

There's a surprise.

But don't jump to conclusions or you might be disappointed.

Happy birthday.

- How do you know? - I know everything.

Make yourself comfortable.

Don't be mysterious.

We're all detectives with the social networks.

Of course.

Come with me.

I imagined your home just like this.

And did you imagine this as well?

What's up?

Cat got your tongue?

What is this place?

It's my secret room.

Wait, there are more surprises.

Wait for me here.

Trust me.

Are you kicking me out this time too?

Yes.

Are you sure?

This week I have to deliver the first part of the novel,

then I'll be all yours.

I promise you.

Ah, I opened your account.

- Already? - Yes.

Why are they paying you royalties in bitcoin?

I don't know. They said it's just for the foreign rights.

They have to give you a code for the transaction,

- you know? - Yes.

- If you have any problems call me. - Sure.

I'll leave you in peace for a few days.

But make sure you hurry up with this novel, OK?

Thanks, honey.

- Bye. - Bye.

Did you enjoy watching?

Absolutely.

Are you excited?

Take your watch off. Come on.

As you well know...

in traditional Japan the act of binding

was part of everyday life.

They didn't use buttons

and they tied everything

with cloth bands and ropes.

It's a very ancient art.

I'm good.

Don't hurt me.

You weren't expecting that, were you?

Do you know it had various purposes?

Enough with the history lesson.

It was an excellent instrument of torture.

The more the knots tightened,

the more the prisoners talked.

Where are you?

Trust me.

Trust me!

Good boy.

And then it was also used to punish

and publicly expose evildoers.

What the fuck are you doing?

Fuck!

Hello?

- Well? - I got it.

I'll come to you.

- OK, tomorrow. - How did you convince Raffaella?

You worry about doing your part.

I brought you breakfast.

I know you like raw food.

Let me go!

I don't think you're in a position to give orders.

I told you to let me go!

- You know the game... - I don't give a shit about the game.

Let me go!

Arrogance won't get you anywhere with me.

That's enough!

Where the fuck are you going, Emanuelle?

Let me out of here!

Let me out of here!

Help!

Can you hear me? Is anyone there? Help me! Let me out!

Come in.

Excuse me.

Can I offer you a drink?

No, thanks.

Come.

- I was good, eh? - Let me see.

Is everything OK?

Yes.

I must say that the French have been quite generous.

But let remind you that we said 50/50,

- otherwise no deal. - Obviously.

What about the deadlines?

I've never been good at French.

He says everything has to be done by tomorrow.

Just in time.

Yeah.

What did you do with Leonardo?

I haven't seen or heard from him for days.

If I call him he doesn't answer me and obviously he's not in the office.

Should we be worried?

I've never been worried in my life

and I'm not going to start now.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Trust me.

He'll be somewhere with some little girl

who'll stay with him just to get a few presents

and in a few days he'll dump her. He always does.

Leave me alone.

And you check my data carefully.

How many days does it take to transfer the money

- to our accounts? - Five days maximum.

Give me the code.

- Be careful. - What, don't you trust me?

Whore!

Whore!

Bastard!

- Done. - Everything sorted, then?

Of course.

What will we tell Leonardo when he gets back?

Nothing.

He'll never notice anyway.

And even if he were to find out...

he'll never get back to us, right?

Right.

May I?

Go ahead.

You see...

you have to think of this...

as a reward.

A reward?

Yes.

Nobody would spend time with him without anything in return.

Wait.

Not today.

I'll call you when the money arrives, then?

If you hear from Leonardo...

say hello to him.

Of course I will.

Don't go away!

Don't go away!

Asshole!

Did you hear?

Set me free! Whore!

Your friend says hello.

What have you done to me? What the fuck did you do to me?

What did you do to me?

I'll kill you with my bare hands, bitch!

I'll kill you with my bare hands!

I think the time has come to reassure your loved ones.

What do you think, will they be worrying about you?

Thank you.

Giulia wants to know when the check's coming.

And then lots of calls and messages from Milena.

Poor thing, she's getting worried.

How devoted she is.

She loves you.

The truth is, nobody gives a shit about you,

they just want your money.

Have a nice rest.

THINGS TO DO. I'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK

How does it feel to find out you're worth nothing

to the people you thought loved you?

How it feels to be stripped off your dignity as well?

I haven't finished yet.

Whore!

Damn whore!

Whore!

Damn whore!

Hi, come in.

Take a seat.

Put your things here.

- I really like your house. - Thanks.

For you.

Thanks.

Remember that in return I want to read your novel.

For now it's just a kind of diary.

I'll tell you a secret.

Never belittle your work in front of those who're interested.

Can I get you a glass of wine?

I swear not to tell your father.

You can tell him, I don't think he cares anyway.

What the fuck are you doing, Giulia?

Giulia! Giulia!

To writers.

Fuck, Giulia, go away!

Tell me.

Who was the woman I saw you with at the club?

My girlfriend.

And is there something between you and my father?

Your father's helping me with an experiment.

And does this experiment involve you fucking?

No.

Are you bisexual?

Me too. That is...

I think I am.

Does it scare you?

No.

Have you ever been with a woman?

No.

Wait.

Did you hear that too?

Yes, sorry, they're doing some work nearby.

I'll put some music on.

I'm here, Giulia.

What were we saying?

Don't worry. I won't do anything you don't want to.

I'll kill you with my bare hands.

What are you doing to me? Who are you?

Leave me alone! Leave me alone!

- What do you want to do? - It's a surprise.

Leonardo, that's enough, please!

Keep still!

Help!

Free her.

Look at your friend.

Where's my daughter?

I don't know.

What did you do to her?

Have you still not figured it out?

I hoped until the end that you might remember something.

But you don't give a fuck.

You don't give a fuck exactly like a year ago.

Who the fuck are you? What are you saying?

Say my name.

After you! What's my name?

Emanuelle.

Emanuelle?

Emanuelle Cipriani.

You're so full of yourself that it doesn't even occur to you

that I can take the piss out of you.

Don't you know that we authors sometimes use pseudonyms?

Where the fuck are you going? Where the fuck are you going?

Let me out of here. Emanuelle!

Emanuelle Damiani.

Hello?

- Hello. - What the fuck do you want?

I'm here with your father, we need to talk to you.

I don't believe you, you're crazy.

Giulia, it's very important, really!

Why isn't my father answering me on the phone?

Come here and you'll understand.

He's been gone for days, if he's there with you, put him on.

Are you sure you want to go alone?

If I'm not back within five minutes, come in, OK?

Yes, but keep your phone on.

- So, everything all right? - Of course.
