"Three months passed, which for Oliver
were true bliss.
His heart overflowed with gratitude
and his…"
SILVIA 9 YEARS EARLIER
"And his benefactors
repaid him with tenderness and affection.
It seemed as if Oliver had been part of the family
since he came into the world."
And then?
And then the chapter ends, and now we sleep.
I want to know what happens!
We had a deal, little miss.
Okay, Papa.
Good night, sweetie.
See you tomorrow.
Mama?
Why doesn't Papa ever sleep at home?
Silvia, I've already explained that, Papa works at night.
-What does he do? -It's late, sleep now.
Don't turn it out.
All right.
Sorry I'm late. It was a disaster. Capasso felt sick.
The guy who teaches Private Law?
That asshole flunked me twice, I hope he croaks.
Achille!
-Mama! -Call an ambulance!
What's the matter?
Silvia, honey…
Come here, it's nothing.
Look at me, it's nothing.
Kubra, the directress just signed it.
Behave tomorrow.
Aren't you glad to go out?
Yes.
Then why that face?
Pino wants me to meet his mother.
So, it's serious!
Yeah, even too serious.
What's the problem?
Didn't you say you love him?
Sure, I love him…
but, I'm not good with people.
I'm afraid she won't like me,
or I'll say or do something wrong, like always.
You're talking about the mother of a guy they call Psycho.
A girlfriend like you is the least of her problems.
It'll go fine.
-Pino, a letter for you. -For me?
-From who? -There's no address.
Must be an admirer.
I already got a girl, and it's problems.
Lady-killer!
Actually, you've got the admirers.
-It's for you. -Really?
May I?
Cardigo!
All okay?
All okay and total chaos.
When you gonna show some grit?
Why did you confess?
That human garbage got what he deserved.
Pino, I'm fond of you
but no bullshit, okay?
-I'm fond of you. -Then I'll tell you somethin' nice.
Yeah.
Gemma showed great love for you.
What do you mean?
Want to know?
She refused probation to stay with you.
That's a great show of love!
Aren't you glad?
She showed she loves you, wants to be with you. You love her?
Yes.
Then, hold her tight.
It's important
if you really love her.
What do you think?
I should make her stay here
for three years…
carin' for me who's a piece of shit?
Make her give up school,
freedom, friends?
What kind of fuckin' love is that?
How's that figure?
A lot, Pino!
Love can't be possession.
But if a guy just minds his shit and does like he says,
he'll go nuts.
Cardigo!
Unload on us, on us.
I gotta save her, Carmine!
She's good, not like me.
She's not like me.
I'm dead.
I'm dead!
I don't know what to do.
I don't know.
Look at me.
I don't want her to end up like me.
I don't want her takin' care of me.
I gotta save her, I'm dead by now.
I'm dead!
Look at me.
You're not dead.
And you're not bad.
Understand?
Bro', stop, you can't suffer like this.
No one deserves to suffer like this for someone.
The world's selfish, don't forget.
Save yourself first, then others.
Understand?
And you can't keep it all inside.
Want a candy?
Thanks for the candy.
Shove off!
How did you hear?
A friend in the Flying Squad.
They found him on the beach, near the Gaiola.
The Gaiola?
-Why was he there? -They don't know yet.
A shot right to the heart.
Like an execution.
But why?
Gaetano had no enemies.
He worked hard at the pizzeria.
His parents swear he'd changed.
He had us believe that and we fell for it.
Especially me, like an idiot.
If anyone's responsible here, it's not you.
I signed the report to the judge.
Another life thrown away.
Why are we here?
To try and try again
until we save at least one.
Yeah.
Now who'll tell the guys?
I will.
Edoardo, gotta wear a tux at your wedding, trust me!
My dear brother!
Aren't you glad to see me?
Get lost, I don't talk to rats.
I'm a rat? So, what are you?
Dirty work scares you shitless, you gotta have others do it.
I'll tell you what you are.
You're a plug nickel.
I'll kill you!
Guys, stop!
You're not worth shit!
What the fuck's going on?
You'll see what it means to betray me.
-You rat! -That's enough!
-I'll slit your throat! -I said enough!
Like to threaten?
Makes you feel tough?
No answer?
-Answer me! -Yeah, I like it.
When threats turn to facts and someone dies,
what do you say?
-No one died. -That's where you're wrong.
One of you was rubbed out.
Gaetano, Louse… was shot in the chest.
Nothin' to say?
I can't hear you now!
Why are you all so quiet?
Gaetano wanted to change his life.
Evidently he was too late.
When you choose to be criminals,
your expiration date's right here.
Can you understand that?
If anyone knows anything, come and tell me.
Gaetano didn't deserve to die,
none of you do.
Peace to your soul, Gaetano.
I hope you found a better place than the one you knew.
Go on, sit down.
Go with him.
Sit down!
I don't know where you learned these methods
but this is a juvenile institute.
We educate here, we don't use fists.
They may even have done terrible things, but they're kids
and they're entrusted to us.
I saw a dangerous situation, no one was taking action, I intervened.
The trays are plastic, Mimmo wouldn't have been hurt.
Besides, we're here to subdue.
Luckily, you didn't break his nose so I won't file a reprimand,
but you have to apologize.
You must, because this is a small community with its rules.
If you make a mistake, you make amends whether adults or youths.
-Lino! -Right away.
Come in, the educator has something to say.
Come in.
Go on, Sofia.
I'm sorry for your nose.
Don't worry, it's nothing.
My mother hits me harder.
Take him back.
-Can I go? -Yes.
She'll just give us problems.
Like we don't have enough.
The Minister's watching us,
he needs one excuse for an inspection.
I'll talk to my group.
Beppe, keep an eye on her.
That shit always hangs with Sheep.
Sheep goes out today.
We kill him in the shower?
It's me gotta kill him.
He's no fool, he'll never shower alone.
So, what do we do?
Mimmo!
The trash won't throw itself out.
It's your shift, right? Go.
Move.
-Ball! -I'll get it.
I said I'd get it.
Heart problems?
Gemma, never mind.
If he doesn't give it to you, I will.
Go take the cotton from your nose!
Doggie Nose is back!
-Educator beat you up? -Bone-head, you hurt me.
Edoardo, what are you thinkin'?
Trash gets dumped after lab, too.
Firecracker, want to be a man?
I need a blade.
Where do I get it?
I'll explain.
Your father's tubing was removed, he's breathing on his own.
So, I can talk to him?
The judge decided there's no urgency for another visit.
But I appealed, and with the directress' favorable opinion,
it will be granted.
You have to be patient.
Where's my mama?
They must have held her at the check point.
Hey? Going by with no hello?
Silvia!
So, it's true you're a lawyer.
-Maddalena, this is… -Alfredo D'Angelo.
-A pleasure. -Of course, I'm a lawyer.
Silvia likes to joke.
Alfredo!
Maybe you can help me.
My mama has no money for a real lawyer,
that's why I'm still here.
-If you'd called, I'd have helped you. -I tried.
Maybe you changed numbers.
You're right.
Now you have it.
Call me when you like.
Go on, don't be scared.
I'll wait here.
Who let that woman in?
How dare you show up here?
Whore!
Go!
Who's that lady, Mama?
Get out immediately, both of you!
Get out! You little bastard!
You're sure?
He's the one who put you here?
When I met him, he said he was Mirko.
What a face when I introduced him to the guard!
White as a sheet!
Don't miss your chance.
Spin him around good.
I've got it figured, it's all in here.
First he gets me out then he repays him, with interest.
Good for you!
You're your mother's girl.
-Hello. -Hello.
I'd like to see Lady Lidia.
I'll look for her.
-Would you take a seat? -Thank you.
You're a friend of Giacomo's?
Hello.
-I'm Silvia. -Hello.
I was looking for both of you.
The last time we met
was 8 years ago, at your husband's wake.
I'm sorry, I don't remember you.
I was with my mother,
Professor Capasso was my father too.
My husband had just one child.
We were married for 35 years
and there were no secrets between us.
I don't know what you want but you won't find it here.
Out!
What are you doing?
Give that to me.
-Did you take anything else? -Sorry…
Dad always read to me, too.
It was my favorite.
You can keep it if you want.
I overheard you talking to my mother.
Listen…
why don't you wait for me downstairs?
We can chat.
Go on, I'll join you.
Pino, another meatball?
-It's a vacation for Free too. -Give her this piece.
Best not to, that race can't digest it.
-How do you know? You're a vet? -No.
I have a pet store.
That's how we met, when I bought Free's doggy bed.
-A pet store? Aren't you ashamed? -C'mon!
Keeping poor animals in cages.
I treat them well.
Guy, I don't break the rules!
Let's do this,
go take a walk with Free and I'll make coffee.
I'll wait for you upstairs.
Let's go.
Why aren't there pictures of your friends in your room?
Now I'll put yours there.
I'm glad you brought me.
I've never let anyone in my house.
You and I are the same, I felt it right away.
How so?
You had a sad face
and I wanted to be the one to make you happy.
-You make me happy. -I love you.
I love you, too.
You're the first person I've said that to.
The first and last?
Didn't you say you didn't know him?
The name didn't ring a bell,
then I remembered an evening together.
He's gotta be crazy about you, he defends only big shots.
Is it my fault I drive 'em crazy?
Having fun, dolls?
-Like to take a ride? -Where?
Your lawyer won the appeal.
-Move, we've only got an hour. -I told you he was good!
Sorry for before, I overdid it.
Don't worry.
It's a mess with Mom every time I go out.
She's been on anxiolytics since Dad died.
I'm sorry.
My mother said I shouldn't look you up.
But I found this in a drawer yesterday.
I remember!
My father's 30-year teaching award.
I thought you two should have it
but your mother didn't let me talk.
Thank you, I appreciate it very much.
Thank you.
Thank you!
-What? Get your hands off me! -Stay calm!
-Keep your hands off! -I know you like it.
What the fuck?
Want me to pay you? Is that it?
-What are you saying? You're my brother. -Brother?
You're not my sister.
They all know my father liked whores
but he wasn't so stupid that he'd have a daughter.
You're a whore.
Like your mother.
I don't need it.
-Don't move. -But be careful.
-It's stuck. -How did you do this?
It wasn't on purpose.
-Doctor… -It's coming out.
-It is? -Yes.
Doc, you're the best.
You got a real gift.
-Here. -Thank you.
What is it? Cat got your tongue?
Did something happen?
What can I say? I knew all about your son.
But now this other one.
Enzo,
it was all at the last minute.
I wanted to surprise you, introduce him,
and then he came with his girlfriend.
She's his first, you know?
He's never had one.
He chose real good.
Meaning?
She's in jail too. Is she a junkie?
-A prostitute? What does she do? -What are you saying!
What's your problem?
-Kid, down a peg. -No. You, down a peg!
How dare you bad-mouth my son in my own home?
Apologize.
Me? You're not well.
You heard me, apologize or go. That's the door.
Challengin' me? Get lost, dumbo!
Get outta here!
Ignorant piece of shit!
You find 'em all alike!
Papa!
Rosa!
I knew you wouldn't leave me.
You were good, they told me what you did.
Don't worry, just think about bein' well.
I have a plan.
For the Di Salvos,
for Sheep,
for that other rat.
Leave it to me, you and Edoardo stay out of it.
Give me a hug.
-That's a pizza? -Take a look.
It's all wrinkled, like you.
Fuck off!
-Will some good soul get the flour? -Me.
Thank you.
I brought you some basil.
You could answer me.
Yes.
Gianni, tell me what's going on?
Nothing, what do you think?
You won't talk, I need you to talk to me!
What can I say?
At the precinct I felt like shit for killin' a guy like me?
I ruined my life?
I ruined my life.
And it's all your fault.
I feel sick when I look at you.
I swear, if I could take your pain, I would.
You can't.
I love you.
If you love me,
leave me alone.
The judge knows everything
and is in favor of your transfer.
Want to know something?
When I heard about your transfer…
I felt relieved.
I don't love you anymore.
No!
Love makes us feel good,
makes people better.
You've made me a worse person.
For me, it's over.
No, please!
-It's not true. -Yes.
-No… -Yes!
For me, you…
are dead.
Work it from the center.
You didn't get anything?
Not feelin' well?
What is it?
Brace him.
Look at me!
Calm down.
Guys, no bullshit. Stay here.
-Keep watch. -Edoardo!
-Not now. -Don't do it.
-Meaning? -Pa said he'll deal with it.
-I've got him cornered. -I said no.
What can I do about you two?
Mimmo, move it, get back to work!
-Comin', Tonino. -Move it.
What's going on here?
Nothing!
Come on.
Get back to your sections.
That rat's fuckin' lucky!
In the letter I said to wait for us to swim together.
Nothing for me?
-Man, you two are so beautiful! -And you too!
-We missed you. -Same here.
Knowing you're together, gives me hope.
How's Futura?
Fine, just like her mother.
She's fine.
The guys? Pino, Cardigo?
Pino and Cardigo?
-Pino's not too good. -Why?
In fact he said: "Tell Dude
if he's not careful I'll throw him in, clothes and all".
I'm coming too!
Latifah?
Don't look for me, now Kubra has just you.
Well?
What have you two decided?
I'm trying not to wonder.
Each day with Naditza is a gift.
You look so good when you talk about her!
I say, keep a low profile,
stay away from big towns, you'll be fine.
The problem isn't the police.
Then, what is it?
Money, a place to sleep,
people who try to screw you 'cause you're in difficulty.
Thought about asking your folks?
Nah, to end up back at JDC?
-No, thanks. -Right.
It's nice, if you think.
What?
You dude, her gypsy…
Gives hope.
And you?
What?
-How's your heart? -It's good.
Why? It's with Futura.
Here are the beers.
Thank you.
-What do we toast to? -To friendship.
And to Carmine's heart hiding a secret.
-No way! -Really?
-He's crazy! -The gypsy will reveal all.
Suddenly she's a witch?
-You're in trouble. -What did you read?
Gypsy things,
potions, magic…
Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Got that?
Consuelo?
I want to talk to him.
-Massimo's not here. -Ask him to come out.
I assure you, he left this afternoon.
I called a thousand times, he doesn't answer.
I don't know, he had a personal matter to resolve.
His only personal matter is you.
Since you sneaked into our lives, our family's been going to pieces.
-I didn't sneak anywhere. -Yes, you did.
You're all he thinks about.
Even my son realizes it, and he's suffering like hell.
That's something for you two to talk over.
You're false, a hypocrite,
you do everything to hold on to him.
-You're a disgusting liar. -Okay…
You run a prison. What example are you setting?
You're destroying a family.
Are those the values you teach?
Ladies, mail!
Gemma, the directress wants to see you.
All right.
Hey, just a moment!
It's for you.
For a new start
What the fuck's to look at?
You must be Giulia. Come with me.
-Get your fuckin' hands off. -Where do you think you are?
Move.
Guys, another with an attitude.
But she's gorgeous.
-That's Crazy-J. -Who's she?
-The trapper. -Firecracker will never cut it.
Guys…
What's to look at? I saw her first.
Get movin'!
Trust your Uncle Firecracker.
Come in.
-Hello. -Come in.
So… I spoke to Ambra.
She told me about your encounter.
But this is an order from the magistrate.
You can be put on probation, as of today.
I know how you feel, I've been there too.
You think leaving is an injustice to those who stay, but it's not so.
Gianni needs me.
Gianni needs to find himself and so do you.
We can't love someone if we don't know who we are.
Sometimes, we pay a very high price in doing the right thing.
But what you lose today,
you'll find again tomorrow, a thousand times stronger.
Gemma…
it's time to think of yourself.
Take care of yourself.
Bye, Liz.
Bye, girls.
Bye.
Take care,
be happy.
Silvia!
-I'll miss you. -I'll miss you, too.
-Bye. -Bye, Beppe.
Good luck.
I know you did it for her.
You did something great.
You did something rare.
You gave her love she never had.
Understand?
You gave her the love she never had, big guy.
-I didn't think you'd make it. -Never!
Move over.
Condolences.
Thank you, Ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Who is he?
Gaetano…
Gaetano!
You always acted tough,
you said you didn't need anything.
But I knew it wasn't true, it was just…
it was just fear.
Love
is always harder to receive than give.
Even if it's your parents' love.
Why?
It makes you feel defenseless?
Vulnerable?
But Gaetano, in the end,
had found that courage.
It was too late.
I don't…
But you're still in time.
Please,
don't make our son's death useless.
If his example
serves to save even just one of you
then he won't have lived for nothing.
Don't be tricked by those who say differently.
Love
is the only thing that can save you.
It hurts my heart
It makes me choke
I don't go to school
That's no joke
I end up in jail for a pound of smoke
The sea's out beyond
I can't see it
No worries kid, there's the sea beyond
There's the sea beyond, there's the sea beyond
Behind the bars, under the sky, there's the sea beyond
There's the sea beyond, there's the sea beyond
No worries kid, there's the sea beyond
There's the sea beyond, there's the sea beyond
Behind the bars, under the sky, there's the sea beyond
There's the sea beyond, there's the sea beyond
