OBSESSION

I need gas!

Signor Bragana, I need gas!

My truck engine is broken

and nobody wants to stop
and take a look.

Everyone's in a hurry to drive on.

I wake up in the morning
and here we are.

They give me no peace,
even when I've gone to bed.

- And this one?
- Who is he?

Hey, you, get down!

That's an uncomfortable
way to travel.

I should carry a mattress
for tramps. Let's go. Hurry up.

Whatch them, they'll
steal a whole hen-house.

- What do you want?
- Fill it up.

Hey, Bragana.

No, not here yet.

Stay! Sit!

Do you serve food here?

I'm asking if you serve food here.

- Look, I can pay. - All right,
but you eat in the other room.

Wait, I'll bring it to you.

It's good.
Do you know the fat man?

- He's my husband.
- He's lucky to have such a wife,

- one that cooks so well.
- Save your breath.

Anyway, I'm not a cook.

Wait for me there.

It's hot in here by the stove.

You have fine shoulders.

What's a little heat to you?

Giovanna, keep an eye
on the chickens.

We've caught a chicken thief
hiding on a truck.

He must still be around here.

You never know what those guys
are up to.

Why don't you eat?

He may try something.

You hear so many things these days.
Here it's even in the paper.

I hope...

Just the one I was looking for.

Who gave you permission
to let him in here?

Are you crazy?
He could even steal the dishes.

Get going.

My name's Bragana,
I know your sort.

You think you're a lady,
painting your nails all day

and let my house go.

Don't get mad at me.
You're really smart.

- You talk and talk and let him go
without paying. - Without paying?

- Yes. Without paying.
- Why didn't you say so before?

I'll fix him.

Hey! You! Wait a minute!

You can't fool Bragana.
You can't eat without paying.

What are you saying?

Don't play dumb.
My wife says you didn't pay.

- Your wife told you that?
- Yes.

That's a good one.

Empty your pockets.

- So?
- I'm broke.

I'm no fool,
you must settle up somehow.

- Take my trousers.
- What would I do with it?

Well, then...
we'll find something else.

What do you want to find?
Come on. Pay up.

- You said your truck engine is
broken. - So, what's that to you?

- I'm a mechanic.
- So?

So, let's go take a look.

You think you can cheat me?
If so, you'll pay for it.

It's written on your face
that you're a good man.

- What were you doing on that truck?
- I'm unemployed.

- You're not a tramp?
- I like travelling.

Trains cost money.
I get by.

You get by?

- Hey Bragana, you're late today.
- You can see I'm busy.

These hens!
Always here, pecking at the tyres.

You also like working in the dark,
don't you? Come on.

Let's see what you can do.

- We need to run it to hear
how it sounds. - Okay, let's do it.

Did the distributor drop out
on the road?

You need a spare.
What is the nearest town?

Codigoro.

I could go and get it.

I'll phone.
It's one hour away by bicycle.

Meanwhile,

you could mend the water pump
outside.

You know, it's hard getting
a mechanic just for that.

- Since you're already here...
- It'll take me half a day.

Yes?
Then take the tools and let's go.

- You were a bersagliere?
- Sure.

In the Sixth Regiment.

- Me, too. I spent 18 months
as bersagliere. - You too?

What a coincidence.
The great Sixth Regiment.

Actually, Laregola the Marshal used
to say the Fourth was the best.

You mean Sergeant Laregola?
You met him too?

"Study war tactis
and you'll reap the reward".

- Hello, Father Remigio.
- Good morning, Bragana.

- Do you want to arm wrestle again?
- No, another time.

I've just seen a lot of ducks;

I'd like to shoot half a dozen.

- Giovanna, I'm going to Codigoro.
- Codigoro?

Yes. Something urgent.

Hello... Codigoro garage?

I need a distributor for my truck.

Could you sent it right away?
To Bragana at the Dogana.

Still hungry?

Then it's impossible for tonight.

Can't you find someone to bring it?

Yes, but this time I can't pay.

I understand.

Ferruccio, can you bring me
a spare for my truck?

- I'm sorry, I can't.
- Why not cycle with me?

Good idea. I'll get ready.
Giovanna, my hat and coat.

It was good of you to drop by.

I've something special
to tell you on the way.

I'll be back in an hour.
Bring me the bicycle.

- What about him? - He's
the mechanic, mending the truck.

- Mechanic?
- Yes,

what's funny about that?
He sized up everything at a glance.

- Do as you please.
- It's my house. I'm the boss.

Understand?

- Good bye.
- Let's go, Father.

- Where are you from?
- Senigallia.

Senigallia!
"Half saints, half rascals".

In the meantime, work at that pump.
I'll expect you to be done.

- Don't worry.
- Let's go, Father. - Let's go.

Love is beautiful with you.

It makes me dream, it makes me sing.
Who know why?

It's love that makes
our hearts beat fast.

It comes like the breeze for
a moment and then it goes.

But when you're with me,
I'm happy because...

Iove is beautiful with you.

- Heard the news?
- You must have! - I'm telling you.

- I'm going to tell you.
- Some villagers have all the luck.

They caught a 5 kilo eel!
They will put it in the paper.

Why didn't you tell me?
Really 5 kilo?

- Where did they cast the net?
- I don't know. I meant to ask you.

I'm going to ask Lorenzo.

Let's find him now.

There are some good places
in the marshes.

What about the spare for the truck?

I'll pick it up on the way back.

First I want to find out.
Here comes the ferry!

Really 5 kilo?

I can guess where they caught it.

- When did you realize I liked you?
- Right away.

When I asked for food...

and you didn't answer.

Now you'll never leave me, will you?

Not even to go back on the road?

No.

Perhaps I was wrong about you.

You'll go boasting to everybody.

I keep some things to myself.

You're the first woman
I've met for a long time.

These past few months,

I've been a docker in Trieste,
a mechanic sometimes...

Who could I tell around here?
I know no one.

Then we'll get along.

Why hasn't he come back?

He always says he'll be back soon.

He's with the priest.

How did you come to marry
that old man?

I don't know.

I was out of work when I met him,

with his gold watch-chain.

I was down to asking men
to buy me a meal.

Do you know what it is
to be penniless?

Not knowing where to go.

- And then?
- Do you know...

what it means when men
buy you a meal?

- Yes, I know. - I thought
I could be safe with him...

but this is even worse.

It's impossible to live with him;
so dirty, so false.

What do I care about his money,

if I have to work in the kitchen?

- Do I look like a cook?
- You deserve to be a lady.

You understand me.

With you I don't need to lie.

You are young.

You can't realize
what an old man is like.

No, but I can guess.

No.

You can't understand
what it's like for a woman...

to live with an old man.

Each time he touches me with those
hands...

I would like to scream.

I'm not a lady.

I'm just an unlucky woman.

I can't stand it anymore.

Suppose we go away...
you and me together...

- Where?
- Who cares where? Wherever we want.

No.

For me it would mean going back
to the old life.

For you it's different,
but for me...

Unless I had a place to live.

No. I'll stay here.

I'll put up with it.

Until...

Until?

Until I don't know when.

Tell me, could you love me for ever?

Yes, Giovanna, I think so.

Enough...
not to want anything else?

Yes, Giovanna.

Then something must happen for us.

But you must love me very much,
Gino.

Gino.

Hey, Gino.

- That was a long time.
- Here's the spare.

- Did you fix the pump?
- Yes. It works.

Now you can fix it?

Here, it's done.

It runs real well!

You did a good job!

Now, where are you going?

- Signor Bragana...
- What is it?

I did the job, now we're even.

But now I would like to ask for
something. I have no place to go.

If there's some more work for me
here...

If you could put me up for
a few more days.

- Tired of tramping?
- I won't give you any trouble.

I don't really need anyone
but we were both bersaglieri.

- I'll feed you and you'll do odd
jobs. All right? - Okay.

Now I'll lend you my razor,
you need it.

Giovanna?

Here you are.

Why didn't you answer?

Give me a kiss.

Can't you see someone's looking?

Don't act like this in front
of strangers.

He's not a child, he knows what goes
on between a man and his wife.

And he's not a stranger. It's Gino.
Didn't I tell you?

- Gino's going to spend a few days
with us. - With us?

Yes, with us.

A mechanic like him shouldn't be
tramping the roads.

Here, Gino. Go shave yourself.

Come, help me dry out.

There will be a storm,
it's so sultry.

It would be good if it rained.

Did you get the chickens inside?

How hot it is.

Harder, much harder.

Good. Scratch a little bit.

See Gino? These are the pleasures
of being married.

Yes, one should get married.

- You left it late. - A little late.
But I don't regret it.

You only think of yourself
as if I didn't exist.

Don't worry.
I've not forgotten you.

I have a piece of paper in here.

When the time comes,
you'll appreciate it. That's all.

- I know what I'm doing.
- A piece of paper?

Who knows what kind of mess
you've gotten into.

A "mess", she calls it.

What's the saying?

"The wise person makes
the relatives happy".

Meanwhile, let's make sure
everything is ready.

I'm going fishing early tomorrow.
Coming with me?

I'd rather stay here,
I hate fishing.

Please yourself.

I can't stand those cats.

They sense the storm,
it will break soon.

I hope so, it's stifling here.

- Why don't you take off your
blouse? - Because he's here?

- Where is he?
- I don't know. I'm not his keeper.

- You're still mad at him?
- It's just the heat.

The heat.

Here I am.

What are you doing?
Come and eat.

It's going to rain.

What have you done here?
There's a ton of pepper in it.

Just what we need with this heat.
You did it on purpose, didn't you?

Idiot!

You're lucky we're not alone.

Here! I'm coming!

Look, if I give you this,
will you keep it?

- We can't stay three together.
- I know.

You don't have to tell me.

Listen Giovanna, come away with me.

It was a truck from Rovigo.

The driver was telling me
they killed poor Saffi.

They say it was one of his workers.
Because of his wife.

- Did they catch him?
- No, but they'll get him.

- How was he killed? - The body
was found shot in the back.

Sometimes you lose control.

Those damned cats!

We must close the shutters...

or the wind will smash them.

- Can't you hear them? - All right,
I'll deal with the cats.

Gino.

Wait a moment.

Wait.

I can't go any further.

- I can't continue.
- You're tired.

We'll wait for a truck that can take
us to the train station.

I'm not tired, but I can't go on.

You agreed last night.
It's too late to go back.

Why too late?

He is fishing,
he didn't notice anything.

You're out of your mind.
We must get to the station.

- And then?
- Then? We'll catch a train.

No. It's impossibile. It won't work.

I wasn't made to tramp
about like you.

We'll sleep in a hotel and tomorrow
we'll look for work.

You said that anything was
better than living with him.

I made a mistake.

Giovanna...

Come back with me, Gino.

And have him always between us?

Come back with me, Gino.

Gino, think about it.

Tickets!

Your tickets, please.

Tickets please, gentlemen.

- I haven't a ticket.
- Where are you going?

I haven't a ticket...
or any money.

What do you mean?

I don't have a ticket or money
to buy one with.

I'll get off at the next station,
if you like.

Don't worry, at the next station
I'll get you off this train.

What's this?
Pushing a gentleman off a train?

- Mind your own business.
- Stop acting important.

How much is it?
I'll pay for his ticket.

To Ancona, more than 100 lire,
including the fine.

So?

Can't I be twisted out of 100 lire
to help a friend?

Please yourself.
It's 120, plus 50.

I don't get paid to make
distinctions.

Forget it.
We have to help each other.

How far is Ancona?

Another four or five stops.

- Ancona has a harbour, doesn't it?
- Going to sea?

I don't know.

I'll look around.

And you?
What will you do there?

I am an artist.
Here today, gone tomorrow.

I always find work.

I'm coming from Trieste.
I'm called "Lo Spagnolo"

because I worked in Spain
a long time.

I you want you can stick with me.

Two are better than one.

Why not?

- What now?
- Find a place to sleep.

We'll look for work tomorrow.

Heads.
We'll go left, near the harbour.

The room usually costs eight.

With two of you it will be twelve.

- We'll pay tomorrow morning.
- Tomorrow? No way.

Pay now or no room.

- Let's not worry about this.
- You look honest, but him...

Here's your money.

You see Gino, money has legs
and should always

be on the move otherwise in your
pockets it gets moldy.

Instead, you get a bite,
then pass it on to someone else.

Money made in Rome helps people
in Torino, Palermo...

Don't wear shoes in bed.

- Only the dead do that.
- Don't worry,

- we aren't going to ruin
your sheets. - Okey.

- Are you hungry?
- No.

I don't feel hungry
when I travel and then,

these last few days
I've been eating regularly.

- Selling women's clothes?
- Hands off!

- Keep out of my business.
- Your face has changed.

I didn't know you were so involved.

- You're making too much
noise about this. - I'm not.

Why did you want to hit me?

You're right. I'm sorry.

Never before...
have I met such a woman.

If you stay with me,
I'll teach you that streets aren't

- only for girl-chasing.
- That would be useless.

I understand you,

you have so many ideas,

but your thoughts are beyond me,
things I can't understand.

You say
"we need to help each other",

you pay the train fare for someone
without any money.

I know one thing only...

I'll never be happy without her.

- Why didn't you bring her with you?
- She didn't want to come.

That means she doesn't love you.

Yes, she did...

but she's not like us.

What do you mean?

She's brave enough
to do some things,

but not to leave her house
and her husband.

She fears poverty.

You must go away.

As far as you can.

Go away?

First I need to forget her.

Now I know I want her...
no matter what it costs.

If I went back
I could never resist her...

just as before.

Listen to me. Get away to sea.

The sea breeze will clear your mind
of these ideas.

You'll feel free again.

Free?

Free.

Did you miss your boat?

There will be others.

Shall we go?

An umbrella turned around like this,
jumps up and down,

flies like a plane.

50 cents, and I'll tell your future.

Green. The color of strength,
the color of hope.

50 cents. Only 50 cents.

Excuse me.

Watch closely,
this is the water test.

There is no trickery,
just hold this, sir.

It's better than any
you can buy in a shop.

Tip the water in, sir.

You see?

My umbrella lets not a drop
of water through.

The handle is genuine horn,
the ribs are made of steel,

and it's yours, not for 50
or even 40,

but only 20 lire!

I'll be dammed!

Excuse me.

Look who's here!
Where have you been hiding?

Why didn't you say
you weren't happy with us?

What are you up to?

You know,
the truck broke down again.

I had to take it apart and call
a mechanic from Ferrara.

If you had been there...

Tell him, Giovanna,
all the trouble I had.

How are you, signora Bragana?

A fine job you've found in town.

It's tied at the back.

It's well tied, crossed double.

I'll help you get it off.

It's almost as if you'd
got it on for life.

You had a job,
food and a bed with us;

now you're a sandwich-man.

Wait a minute.
I'll take care of it by myself.

Even the old proverbs says so...

Please, look after this for me,
I want to talk to a friend.

- A friend?
- Yes, a friend.

There's no point
in saying anything now.

Hey, wait a minute.

Take this.

Fifty cents! It's no trick!
It's the hand of fate.

- How's the business?
- We've closed for two days.

For Giovanna's sake,
too; she was getting sick.

Here we are. "Amici's Bar".
This is where I will sing.

The Best Voice Contest.
I'll win.

- Where are you going?
- I'm a contestant.

Hurry up, you're late.

I'm Giuseppe Bragana. I'm singing
a piece from "La Traviata".

You didn't get far.

If i scared you so much...

why did you stop halfway?

Let's not talk about it.

Tell me, did you think about me
sometimes?

- What difference would it make?
- Giovanna...

I tried to forget
you, but i couldn't.

I can't live without you.

Before, the world seemed
a big place.

Now, there is only your store.

You've been in my mind...

since you sent me away, alone.

I never knew people could depend
on each other so.

If that's what's bothering you,
you'll soon be free again.

I'll go back home with him.

You'll soon forget about me.

- Giovanna! You must come with me.
- You know that's impossible.

Then I'll come back to the store.
Is that what you want?

- Have you seen Gino?
- No, I haven't see him.

Hey Peppone, have you seen Gino?

He's probably gone with some girl.

I sang well, didn't I?

Be careful, you'll get sick,
you're sweating.

We must celebrate your victory.
We too are from Ferrara.

Yes, but I'm with my wife
and friend.

Have a drink with us too.
The champagne is very good.

Okay, let's go, let's go.

Cheers!

Gino's always game for free food
and drink.

Remember when he first came
and tried to diddle us?

Everyone invited us to have a drink,

but who paid in the end?
Me, Bragana.

Sooner or later they'll come to the
store and I'll get my money back.

Work is what matters and knowing
how to earn money,

and having someone to leave it to.
Am I right?

Well, when do we make this son?

We mustn't waste any more time.
Tell her, Gino.

But women are frightened of losing
their figure.

It would be too bad to lose a voice
like mine. Let's go.

Know what I think?

I bet you can't guess.

Beniamino.

We'll name him after Gigli,
then he'll be famous, too.

That's a good one, isn't it?

Tonin. Hurry up.

We have a long way to go.

Now! You understand?

Now!

- Be careful. What are you doing?
- Don't worry. I have a good grip.

- Why not let him drive?
- Him?

Why? I feel awful.

I'm sick.

Get out, get some air.
You'll feel better.

Get behind the wheel.

- Are we close to the river?
- 500 metres.

I feel better now.

- What's this?
- Let him drive. You rest.

Let's go.

Signor Bragana had drunk too much.
He got sick.

You should have been driving.
You're a mechanic, aren't you?

Yes, but he said
I didn't know the road.

- You'd been drinking, too?
- We were all together,

but he drank the most.

All right, go on.

He stopped for a breather.
He got back behind the wheel,

then he drove for about a kilometre.

Why did you leave the main road
to get on the country road?

He wanted to take a short cut:

He knew the area so well...

maybe not so well and missed
the curve.

Suddenly I felt us beginning
to skid.

The next moment it was all over.

When I came to,
I saw blood everywhere.

How was it your boss
was killed instantly?

Maybe he was pinned between
the sterring wheel and the car.

The impact crushed his head.

Why do you think his wife
was unhurt?

I told you already,
I had no time to look.

She was sitting on the offside.
Maybe she jumped.

She jumped with her purse and hat?

Purse and hat?
What do you mean?

A truck driver said she had
them when she asked for help.

She didn't look as if she'd been
in a accident.

I found them on the ground
afterwards.

I took them to clean off the blood.

So you jumped from the car
before it rolled over?

Yes, I was sure it would happen.
I held the door handle.

I asked my husband to let him drive,
but he didn't want him to.

And he was going faster than usual.

What did you do immediately
afterwards?

I came back to the truck.
I opened the door...

and my husband wasn't breathing.

Then he came out.

Didn't he faint?

Yes, that's why I ran
to stop the first vehicle.

He was getting up when we got back.

Have you been with
Bragana for a long time?

Once, for a few days.

I didn't fancy staying too long,
so I left.

We met again in Ancona,
he insisted I came back.

You're a drifter,
but you decided to settle down?

- Yes, just like that.
- Nothing to add? - No.

Let's go sign the report.

Inspector, "Accidental Death"?

Accidental?
Let's write it that way.

Come along, please.

This is everything he had on him.

This is the permit to take
the body... from the morgue.

Thank you.

Goodbye, signora Bragana.

We may need further information
before closing the investigation.

We'll let you know.

It's hot.
Do you want a drink?

What is it?
Aren't you pleased to be back?

I imagined the return
so differently.

We must get used to it.

When we open again
and people come...

everything will be easier.

- We're reopening the store?
- Of course.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

I'm happy.

I can hardly believe it...
at last

I can be here alone with you.

Gino, isn't it what we wanted?

Yes, it's what we wanted.

When I think of all the days spent
behind this counter...

crying... alone.

I don't want that again.

Who's talking about going back?

What's done is done.

We must love each other very much,
Gino. Otherwise...

it was all for nothing.

Listen Giovanna,
we must leave this place.

- Why? - Because,
as long as we stay here,

I'll always see him.

I won't be able to forget him.

I see him behind the bar.
I still hear his voice.

Giovanna, let's sell the store
and get away from here!

Away from here.

You're being ridiculous,
shouting out like that in the store.

They'll hear you.

Don't drink so much.

- Someone's out there.
- Let them go.

- We can't. They saw us arrive.
- You'll have to serve.

No, look how I'm dressed.

I'll go upstairs.

You know what to do.

The drinks are all there.

Open the windows.

- Are you closed?
- No. What do you want?

I knocked, but didn't see anybody.
I'd like something to drink.

It's taugh working
with only one arm.

- Are you the owner?
- There's a manageress. - I'm sorry.

Sometimes I feel like chatting.

I'm a stranger here.
I don't know anyone here.

I've come to work.

- How much?
- One lira.

Is that all?
It's two and a half in Ferrara.

Give as you please.

You must be new to the job,

it's a good thing I'm honest.

- Who was it? - Someone asking
questions, a workman.

Why don't people mind their
own business?

I don't like nosey people.

Why are you so frightened,

even of the first customer?

- What were you doing there?
- Nothing.

- Let me see!
- What do you care?

- I want to see!
- No!

- Give it to me, Giovanna.
- No, Gino.

Bragana wouldn't have
spent so much money on a servant.

Of course, he wants to be
comfortable.

Say what you like,
they don't look happy.

There she is, with Father Remigio.

Father Remigio is here.

I stopped to say hello after mass
to ask his opinion.

Then I asked him to come by.

He hasn't been here for a long time
for his usual game of bowls.

It's not my fault I've had to give
up such an innocent pastime.

Good morning, Costa.

Drinking again?

I've nothing else to do to
pass the time.

That's your excuse today,

tomorrow it'll be because someone
invited you.

You've always an excuse for this.

- Nothing happens here.
- Calm down, my dear Costa.

You should beware of drink, after
what happened to poor Bragana.

It was a tragedy,
we can't forget him.

Don't talk about it.
God rest his soul.

- Would you like a Strega, Father?
- No, you don't have to...

but if it helps to break
the ice with this young man...

You ought to
clarify your relationship.

That's why I asked you here.

Cheers.

Suppose we put things
in order right away?

- Maybe...
- Not now.

That would not stop people
gossiping.

We've done nothing wrong.

That's beside the point.

You're harming yourselves.

It would be sensible if he worked
elsewhere...

Somewhere nearby.

I told her it would be better to go.

- I don't fear gossip.
- It's not the gossip,

signora Bragana, we mustn't forget
God and our duties.

Listen to me.

Why don't you run this
place on your own for a while?

We won't discuss it now,

I'll come to see you
at the church in a few days.

As you wish, but bear
in mind what I've said.

There must be an end to it.

- Good morning.
- Here come the musicians.

- It is the group from Polesella.
- Good. Very good.

Then, take care.

As I'm here,
I'll have a game of bowls.

Good bye, Father.

- Would you like a glass of wine?
- Yes, please.

Who said anything about marriage?

Do you think I want to live here?

Even the priest says we should go.

A fine way to stop people's
suspicions.

You know what? I'd like to tell them
what really happened,

to put an end to it once
and for all.

Are you so scared of marrying me?

You've stopped loving me, it seems.

It's only a month since we met
in Ancona,

you said you couldn't live
without me.

That's true, but...

each day I hate this house more.

We'll be broke if we leave here now.

Nobody would ever forgive us.

We must stay.
Do you understand?

I know...
You've always feared uncertainty.

I thought we could sell this place.

Then we could truly start all over.

We'll see about it later,
not now, I told you.

We can't leave just like that.

But I can't handle it. I can't get
used to using his plates,

sleeping in his bed.

That's nonsense.

We mustn't be afraid to face people.

That's why you want the band,
to attract people from Ferrara.

Be reasonable.
Business must go on.

Carry on, then,
if you like it so much.

You've done many jobs;
you could learn this trade.

It's no job to be the keeper

of a dead man's house.

- Signora Giovanna?
- I'm coming.

Signora Giovanna?

- Signora Giovanna?
- I'm coming.

Good morning.

What can I get you?

- How did you find me?
- It wasn't difficult.

Everyone talks about you.

No. Let's go this way.

What have you done with
the budgerigars?

- I didn't bring them.
- Why?

You want to try your luck again?

What do you need with them?
You've made your choice.

You've settled down nicely.

You've given up travelling.

You can't go on for ever;

you'll settle down one day.

You know that my sort
never settle down.

- Why talk like that?
- You've been a coward.

- By loving a woman?
- Not that.

What, then?

I'm going away now.

It's a good season.

I thought you might come with me.

You'd come if you were the old Gino.

I wanted to go to Sicily.

Sicily is a lovely place.

Everywhere is beautiful:
Naples, Genoa...

Have you been to Genoa?

You can walk by the sea for miles.

It's like a street full of friends,

everybody goes to Genoa.

They're building a highway,
there's lots of work.

They're blasting through
the mountains.

- I don't like moving any more.
- What's become of you?

I don't like travelling any more!

Stop preaching at me, just because
I don't want to tramp any more.

Tramp?
Why say it like that?

I should have known you're not
one of us now;

one pays for one's actions.

- Shut up.
- I'll shut up.

- I won't split on you, don't worry.
- Shut up.

- Stay with that woman
you won so nicely. - Shut up!

Once you only threatened me.
You're braver now.

Can I help you?

- But you hurt yourself.
- I'll take care of it.

You're too quick with your hands.

It's our business.

- I'll come with you.
- No, I'll go alone.

I don't need anyone.

Spagnolo... Spagnolo?

Spagnolo!

I'd said that someone who flares

up like that could be dangerous.

- Signora Giovanna!
- I'm coming.

Hello?

How do you do?

- Signor Giuseppe, they call you
"Lo Spagnolo"? - Yes, Sir.

Let's go in. It's late.

We made 780 lire today.

The band was a good idea.

Why don't they leave us alone?
It's as if they all knew the truth.

What are you saying?

This time last year
I was up in the mountains.

I worked in the mines.

You talk as if I'm not here.

Won't you eat something?

I'm not hungry.

What are you doing?
Give me my ball of wood.

- Thanks.
- Are the kids bothering you?

I like them.

Would you like an ice, too?

Another one.

- Just right for this weather.
- Why are you smiling?

- No reason, I just feel happy.
- Then you've got no worries.

Maybe because I've met you.

- Or because of the ice-cream.
- You're a bit of a flirt.

It depends who I'm with.

- So you like me?
- Why do you want to know?

- Do you live here?
- No, I'm leaving soon.

- You're not from Ferrara?
- No.

- Then you'll be going back home?
- I can't go home.

- Where are you going?
- Now I'm going to the theatre.

I'm a dancer.
Next we'll go to Como.

You can see me in the chorus,

second from left,
at "Cinema Teatro Verdi".

You're a nice girl.
I'm glad I met you.

- Will you walk with me?
- I'm waiting for someone.

Thanks for the ice, you're kind.

There aren't many like me.

Do you like her? Those girls live
in Via Saraceno, number 15.

She's not the prettiest.

Gino? Gino.

Know what's happened?
Bragana had a life insurance policy.

They'll pay me, but they asked lots
of questions,

worse than the police.

But it's all right.

I get 50,000 lire.
We can expand the business.

A life insurance policy?

You'd only get it if he died.

Of course,
that's the idea of life insurance.

- A nice arrangement.
- But it's your money, too.

You think I want it?

I don't want to look at it.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- I didn't know about it before.

I got their letter.

Don't be a hypocrite.

I was a fool not to guess.

Now I understand it all.

Now I know why you wouldn't leave:

- Because of this money.
- You're unreasonable.

Unreasonable? You simply used me,
because you needed a helper.

It would have been easy to have
found someone braver.

It doesn't take much.

I'm sick of it!
I can't bear the sight of you.

- Watch your tongue. - Are you going
to blackmail me now?

- I'll show you I can go.
- Gino!

Enjoy the money with someone else.

- Does the girl Anita live here?
- Yes,

- but she's out. You can wait
in her room. - Thank you.

First you say yes, then no.
What do I do now?

Go back to Rosina.

I never thought you'd come.

I was passing, so I came up.

You like me, then?

I'm glad you came.

You're so different
from the other men.

I don't know why,
but you appeal to me.

Then... what did you come for?

I'm going to eat.

Do you want some?
Are you hungry?

Let's eat together.
I'll buy something.

Wait. I'll come with you.

Where are you going? Now I know why
the insurance upset

- your delicate heart.
- Come.

Think I'd let you go...
After all I've done for you?

- For me?
- Yes.

- We did what we did because
we love each other. - Shut up!

- She doesn't know me.
- Are you squeamish?

Gino!

Stop all that talk.

Listen to me... forget what I said.

I've been unfair,

but I'm desperate.

You loved me.
You haven't finished with me.

Come back with me.
You'll calm down.

- Don't treat me so badly.
- No. Leave me alone.

Watch out, Gino!

- Why should I?
- You know.

One word from me and they'll
arrest you.

Choose: Come with me, or...

Or... what?

I'm sorry about what happened.

I've eaten.
You can help yourself.

- Shall I tell you?
- I'm not inquisitive.

- Why have you changed?
- What do you care?

You realize that you should have
come to us before?

Yes, but we have to work,
we're always on the road.

Now you called us and we came.

We told you all we knew.

You'll swear you saw them both
climbing up the bank...

as the truck was rolling down?

I'll swear to it, inspector.
I remarked on it to my mate.

We were the first to help
but we had to go.

Other people came and we left,
we couldn't do much more.

Yes, they already told me
they were in a hurry

because they had to be in Milan
before noon.

All right.
Sign the statement.

What about the man, Costa?

Don't worry, I've got my eye on him.

He's in town today
but he has a two-way ticket.

Arrest him before he leaves.

- I want to question him.
- Sure, I'll take care of it.

There was this noise in my ears...

He was trying to get up again.

Then I saw him fall back.

She looked at me,

looked at me.

Then I acted. I didn't really know
what I was doing.

She had been so unhappy.

Tell me... do you despise me now?

No, you are the same for me.

I'll never be my old self.

From now on I'm tied to her.

I'm a police officer.

Coffe.

Now I know why that man has been
following me for a month.

It's the police.

She's reported me.

I've got to get out of here.

What can you do?

Think carefully. You'll be lost
if you go back to her.

You can help me.

Go downstairs.
There's a man down there.

Come, I'll show you.

Can you see him?

- Would you be able to recognize
him? - Yes.

Keep him until I escape.

Tell him...

you saw him looking up here.
Say I was here.

Say I left an hour ago.
Yes, tell him that.

- "He was here but left an hour
ago." - He might not believe me.

What else can you say?

I'll say I'm angry with you...
because you didn't pay me.

I'll go now.

Giovanna, open the door.

Open up.

Giovanna, open up!

Here I am.

Kill me, if you like.

- You kept your threat.
- I don't care now.

I know what you're capable of.
I'm not afraid.

Not afraid?

- I don't care about anything.
- You're not afraid?

- Then why did you report me?
- It was only a threat...

to try to keep you.
Go, if you like.

I'm not afraid of loneliness now.

Me, or another man...
it's all the same to you.

No, Gino.

- Don't you understand?
- Stop lying.

You're glad you reported me.

They'll catch me and you'll have
your revenge, isn't that so?

I didn't report you.
I wanted to when

I saw you with that girl,
that's all.

I got over it.

I should've known that sooner
or later you'd go.

These last few days
I was afraid you'd go.

I know you can't stay in one place.

I remember... the day you came here
for the first time.

You didn't even have socks.

I know why I loved you
so much right away...

and why I hated him so much.

I can't hurt you,
even if I wanted to,

even if you left me

because I'm going to have

your child, Gino.

What did you say?

Yes. I suspected. Now I'm sure.

I had to talk to you about it.

Everything was mixed up before...

but now it's clear.

I've thought a lot about it,
about us,

the baby.

You see, we stole one life...

but we're giving one back.

That's why I'm not afraid.

I'm not bitter towards you.

I know I love you, Gino...

and I'll never hurt you.

But how can you overcome the
temptation to vent your hate on me?

If you want to, do it now.

I've told you everything.

Here I am.

Do you think I'm wicked?

No.

Gino!

- I looked for you all night.
- You're all wet.

- Did you run?
- Yes, but it doesn't matter.

Forgive me, Giovanna.

It would have been terrible
if I'd hurt you.

This night has set me free,

as if I've become someone else.

Before, something was keeping me
away from you.

I had no peace.

Now I'm sure I love you.

But we have to leave...

for ever, immediately.

Yes, we'll go.
We couldn't help going wrong

with all we've been through.

From now on, don't listen to me.

You were right.

Don't say anything more.

Didn't I say everything has changed
now?

Gino? Gino.

Last night, why did you say
I had reported you?

I don't know. That man...

What man?

They were at the station...
they must still be after me!

Giovanna?

Put your head on my shoulder.

- Comfortable?
- Yes, I'm fine.

You don't know what it's like,

with a baby inside you.
Soon I'll be getting fatter.

I don't care if I look ugly.
Just the opposite.

I want everybody to see.

- This is life, Gino.
- Yes, this is life at last.

Away from that house.

Maybe they've already
got there, at this moment.

They'll search every room.

If they catch us?

You couldn't be with me any more,
Gino.

Don't worry about it.

You'll see.
Everything will be all right.

Good luck will be with us.

It won't fail people
who expect a child.

Don't worry. From now on,
I'll deal with everything.

Where are they?

- To Scatovari.
- Scatovari?

- Did they take the car?
- Yes.

Let's go.
Let's not waste any time.

We must be patient behind
this truck.

Try to pass,
the fumes are making me sick.

Close the window.

You know, from now on
you must take special care of me.

I've heard of women
that had problems

because they exerted themselves.

But nothing will happen to me,
will it?

Or else why is it so nice
to feel my breasts

getting bigger?

Right, Gino?

Bring the car.

Gino Costa?

Let's go.
