Back inside!
It's not a scene to see.
Have a little patience.
-Di Salvo, where are you going? -I have to see my daughter.
The D.O. took her to the infirmary.
-What! -To make sure she's okay.
Go to your cell, he'll come to you.
You can't stay here.
-Kubra, I'm here, darling! -Pino!
I'm here.
I gotta talk to my girl, asshole!
-Darling! -Who's stopping you!
Don't worry.
That's my girl, Negro.
-Hear me? -That's enough, back to your cells!
You were wonderful.
SOFIA 18 YEARS EARLIER
-You deserved first place. -Silver at the Under-20 isn't bad.
You weren't nasty enough.
You saw her in trouble, you slowed and she screwed you.
-Guess I'm too good. -Yeah!
Wait, I'm tired.
-Already? -Let's have a cooler.
-We have to celebrate. -Last lap and then we'll go.
Okay, but walking.
Hey, dolls! Want a beer?
-No, thank you. -It's on us.
-A gin and tonic. -What the fuck do you want?
Get lost.
-Scram. -Don't play hard-to-get.
Don't touch me!
Leave us alone!
Sofia!
-Sofia! -Stop!
Elena!
Run, you killed her!
-Stay with me. -It's okay.
Help! Help!
Stay with me.
Look at me, stay with me!
Look at me!
-What is it? -I won't eat in here.
It's no time for ruckus, knock it off!
Firecracker, let it rip!
Gall-dang it all!
We don't want to be locked up in here!
Freedom!
Edoardo, you're overdoing it.
Gennaro, you forgot this.
Damn it! Take those away!
Knock it off!
Paola?
-It's not your fault. -Yes, it is.
I should never have left my office.
And I shouldn't have followed you.
Maddalena was with them, no one could have imagined that Viola…
It's Sofia.
I just spoke to the Ministry of Justice.
What are you saying?
Maybe it's time to face some responsibilities, eh?
Who the fuck are you to talk like that?
Poor management of the JDC has alarmed Rome.
I'm here undercover.
-So, you're not an educator. -No.
Two inspectors are coming today to ascertain the responsibility of the event.
What bullshit is this?
You don't realize what happened, the facts speak for themselves.
You're both at risk.
Get out!
Enjoy your offices while you still have them.
You have the right to two hours of recreation, good health
and healthy nutrition.
Down.
Freedom of worship is guaranteed.
You have the right not to endure physical coercion for disciplinary purposes.
You can complain if these conditions are not respected.
Better than a hotel!
You're also witty!
Here, let's go.
The investigation will be based on testimony.
What we gather will justify responsibilities and consequences.
-You can start with me. -Today we're hearing the inmates.
Tomorrow the personnel.
You two will be heard last.
This way.
Don't worry! Come on.
Me and Viola had fought so they brought us to the office.
The directress and the D.O. went out with her.
-Why? -I think they'd fought too.
Then?
Maddalena, an agent from the women's section, was with us.
Viola took the baby and wanted to give her to me.
She said holding a baby makes you feel powerful.
Her usual bullshit.
But I didn't want to and she ran.
Me and Maddalena ran after her but it was useless.
Then…
I saw her again on the roof.
-What do you think of the directress? -She's well-respected.
When people like us give respect, it means they deserve it.
Where was the detention officer in that moment?
-Like a candy? -Answer the question.
The D.O. was where he should have been, next to me.
-Meaning? -He's like a father for me.
Know what that means?
What's all this sideshow? Talk to the lawyer.
What do you think of the directress and the detention officer?
What should I think?
Sofia, you have the sea in your eyes.
Answer.
The Directress is okay, the D.O. no.
I suggest that you cooperate.
You can obtain some advantage.
Go.
Open it.
Finally!
-Give her to me. -Gently.
At Paola's request, the judge decided Futura can sleep with you two tonight.
-Really? -Are you happy?
Sure I am!
You're number one!
If he can keep an animal like you at bay, Futura's a breeze.
Anyway, one of the staff will be outside here all night.
For whatever you need, call him.
Thank you!
She's so pretty!
-We'll be mommies? -You be the female, me the man.
Hear that, Futura?
-Put a T-shirt on, there's a girl here. -Already jealous?
You bet!
Sweetheart!
You know we have Rosa Ricci to thank?
I'll never leave you again.
I swear.
…be born again…
From this city…
But why us, a life of love…
Happy Birthday, darling.
No!
Awesome! Thank you, Papa.
Ready?
Yes.
I don't understand the accusatory tone.
You should thank the D.O.
You can't imagine how hard it is to win the trust of these kids.
The effort isn't sufficient, judging by the results.
I don't mean just this last tragedy,
but also the escape.
What about the collaboration between the detention officer and the directress?
Have there ever been any conflicts?
They're very united, it's their strength.
United? How?
Several inmates consider them as parents,
that's what I mean.
The directress is well-prepared,
capable, with a good heart.
Maybe she lacks a little chutzpah
to work with inmates.
Explain that.
It's an expression, she lacks cunning.
Opportunistic cunning to get something for yourself.
You, for example, are very cunning.
It's a compliment.
My colleagues are all exceptional,
none excluded.
We're a big family.
You too, with the one-big-family story!
Do you have children?
Yes.
Honestly,
would you be glad if your son were locked up here?
No. That's your answer.
See? It's not hard to be sincere.
It can be brutal, but it's not hard.
Maybe a little brutality here is necessary.
Or they spin you as they like.
You're wrong to think management methods have failed.
This is a juvenile prison, not a boarding school!
I realize that.
But, for me, Paola is excellent.
The facts don't support that.
If you continue to deny that, you're naive.
Have a seat.
So, what's your impression?
We have to acknowledge that you are well-loved.
But, maybe this is the point.
Shouldn't you be a little feared?
You know who they fear in here?
Those who don't think twice before shooting you in the head.
How can I compete with them?
We have the obligation to be different,
to show there exists an alternative.
It's impossible to recuperate these youth if no one helps them on the outside.
They're alone and searching desperately for a family.
The alternative would be to substitute their parents?
Do you believe that or are you misleading them?
A family is forever.
The directress says you're respected without being feared.
-How do you do that? -I come from the streets.
Like these kids.
At their age, I could have made the same mistakes.
I know how they think and try to stay a step ahead, that's all.
With the evasion it didn't go that way.
Or with the deaths of Ciro Ricci and Viola Torre.
Not to mention the murder committed by Totò Ascione
and all the brawls that come up.
We all do what we can to help them… and to succeed,
they have to trust us.
And the only way to do that is to love them.
Don't you see that loving them
equates to forgetting the atrocities they've committed?
You think you're protecting them, but you just do damage.
Exactly what happened with Ciro, Totò, Carmine,
Edoardo, Filippo
and lastly, with Viola.
You can go, we're done.
It's all set, what we're waiting for arrives today.
A third for us, the rest to the men, like we agreed with the Sicilians.
C'mon, we'll have lots of fun.
It'll be fun.
How are you?
I heard about Viola, I'm sorry.
Terrifying, I still have chills.
For me she was indestructible.
I never saw her be afraid.
Is it true that Rosa Ricci saved Carmine Di Salvo's daughter?
Yes, she did.
Like they say: love overcomes all barriers.
Rosa with a Di Salvo… Wow!
They're not made to be together.
Anyway,
regarding us,
what's your plan to get me out?
First of all, I'm sorry.
When we met, I lied about who I was
but I was truly taken by you.
Just think if you weren't.
When they pinched you I couldn't do anything
or they'd have killed me.
Forgive me.
You have to earn it.
That's why I'm here.
Help me get leave time and take me back to Capri.
I had the most wonderful moments of my life there.
Know something?
For me too, they were the happiest moments of my life.
Don't feel at fault if the bitch points her finger at us.
Maybe she's right, I'm not suited as a mother to anyone.
-What are you saying? -Yes! I'm not the only one to say so.
The judge is reconsidering custody for Futura.
Let's have coffee outside, I don't want to talk about this here.
Promise me something.
Never doubt you're a good mother
or that you're an example for these kids.
You are, and will always be, their directress.
Let's go for this coffee.
We're fuckin' pissed off!
Stop!
-What do the inspectors want? -Nothing that concerns you.
-Can we be sure? -Yes.
It's always us that gets fucked.
What the fuck is it?
What's going on? And about our leaves… I'm gettin' married.
-Anything happens, we'll raise hell. -A revolution, got that?
Revolt, revolt…
That's enough!
Don't screw our rights!
Under scrutiny here is us!
We're accused of being suckers. Know why we're suckers?
Because we love you.
That's why we're suckers. That's why.
What's he lookin' at?
I heard you yesterday when you called him that.
You say "Negro" and we can't?
You can't, that's it!
He's eyein' my girl!
Viola died right in front of us yesterday and you play jealous?
What the fuck's inside you?
-Where are you goin'? -Not even to the bathroom?
Di Salvo!
Tarantella.
Got something to say?
Thank you.
Futura is the most important thing in my life.
And you protected her.
I'll never forget it.
Neither can I forget you killed my brother.
When it happened, I cried all night.
It wasn't right.
Your brother went nuts that night.
He caused a revolt in here.
He wanted to kill me and Dude.
And he was doing it.
He was on top of me.
But Dude stopped him.
To be honest, I'd have done the same thing.
Did he say anything before he died?
"Tell my pa I wasn't scared".
See what this system puts in your head?
Facing death, he just wanted to tell his father he wasn't scared.
But it wasn't true.
He was crying.
He was scared.
It's normal.
Even for a Ricci.
Come here, Tarantella.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Pino!
I'll gouge your eyes out!
I'll rip 'em out!
Take him away!
That's enough!
Hello.
Who the fuck are you?
Directress, ma'am, what do they want?
-Sofia's a rat, eh? -No, she's not a rat!
Sofia and the inspectors are simply doing their job.
The inspectors… And Sofia?
If she's not a rat, then she's a spy.
-Right, D.O.? -He's right!
Spy, spy…
Let's go.
Donna Wanda…
I know you use your head.
So, we can make a deal.
This war costs, business is feelin' it.
Yes, but I'm winning, that's why you're here, right?
Yes, but one thing interests us both.
Our kids.
Rosa risked her life to save your niece.
That's true.
So, it can be a meeting point, huh?
And how's that?
We split the piazza, like before, 50/50.
And, if I may,
we quit breaking each other's balls.
70/30.
I could accept that, but on one condition.
-Which is? -The kids are off limits.
We leave Rosa and Carmine in peace.
That's a sure thing.
Another thing, Salvatore.
I want Edoardo Conte's head.
Only you can give it to me.
That kid thinks too much.
Those like him are dangerous.
It's them keepin' us uneasy.
Edoardo Conte?
He's mine, I guarantee for him.
And who are you for me?
Want the deal?
Or is this just a joke?
Here's the groom.
Move!
Hi, darling!
You look like a jaguar!
-How are you? -I'm good.
-Well? -Good news.
The judge gave you a three-day leave for the wedding.
It's all ready.
Can others have leave too?
It's not possible.
Viola's dead and we're all under the microscope.
It's that rat Sofia, eh? She could have minded her business.
It's not the time to be mad.
-You friends will be happy just the same. -I get married once, I want to celebrate.
-The two of us will! -Yeah…
It's a lot that he granted you the leave.
Let's go, there's a unhappier celebration.
Cheer up!
I'd like all of you to dedicate a thought to Viola
from deep in your hearts.
It's not fair to die at 20.
We've lost two of you,
Gaetano and Viola.
The only thing we can do
is draw a lesson from how they lived.
You can avoid making their mistakes.
At least they won't have died in vain.
Life slams you against a wall sometimes.
But you're young,
at your age it's forbidden to lose hope.
Because everything can change.
Besides all the time ahead of you,
there's a secret ingredient
that makes this change possible.
Know what it is?
Love.
Because love gives you a high,
it dazes you,
it makes you feel strong
and fragile.
That's why love scares you.
But it's precisely this fear that will save you.
A fear that Viola never knew,
because Viola never knew love.
I…
have no children.
I've tried to give you
what, probably, I'd have given them.
My love for you has made me stronger,
but also fragile.
And I ask you to forgive me if I haven't always been able to protect you.
Now I ask you one last thing.
A promise.
Take your life in your hand.
Make it wonderful.
Do it for me.
Viola's parents decided she'll be buried here, in Naples.
She lived alone.
And she died alone.
Death didn't scare her.
After all, she did nothing but defy it.
How can you live that way… without love?
I don't know.
How are you?
I don't know.
I still can't believe it.
From one day to the next, a girl is gone.
That's why I was thinking…
I have to talk to my mother.
I can't leave things like this.
Please!
Bring her here.
Kubra…
I don't know if there's a way to tell you.
Your mother has gone.
What's that mean?
And the letter?
I wasn't able to.
She left without saying for where.
-It's my fault. -No!
-Yes! -No…
-You just needed time. -I wasn't able to forgive her.
You just needed time.
I wasn't able to forgive her.
It's not your fault.
It's all my fault!
As a kid, I wanted to sail around the world.
My parents hired a charter in Greece, a boat like this.
-A what? -A charter.
Then the skipper sailed us around the Greek islands. Fantastic!
What's the matter?
I dreamed it and you lived it.
-Come on. -Don't throw me in!
I won't, it's time your dreams become reality.
-What are you going to do? -Get on.
It's unlocked?
It's like a luxury trailer!
And you're my sea gypsy.
Careful! Come here.
I think your mother will be back.
Anyway, we're here, Pino too.
He pisses me off!
-Maybe I went too fast with him. -What are you saying?
-He's crazy about you. -Exactly, he doesn't reason.
Did you see how he acted with Diego?
He's too jealous, he doesn't trust me.
He's right, though!
Idiot!
I've never felt so alone.
Don't even say that for fun.
I'm always here, okay?
I'm the only one responsible for what happened.
So, it's true…
you're sweet on her.
This is a place of detention.
There's no room for lectures on love like earlier.
It takes more guts to listen than to use an iron fist.
I just stand by the law.
And you? Your good intentions?
D. O…
Don't make any more mistakes.
Come in now.
What are you doing?
What have you got here? Let me see!
You didn't see anything, eh?
Out!
-What's going on in here? -Take her away.
I've never been happier.
When I'm a famous pianist, I'll buy a boat like this
and we'll sail the world.
What the fuck's that?
Let's go out now and say we didn't know where to sleep.
Okay, but we have to be set to run.
You're sure? Then cut the electricity.
Who the fuck are you?
We needed a place to sleep, we didn't touch anything.
A boy with your face has no money for a hotel room?
We're minors, if you call the police, they won't do a thing to us.
Sure!
-Carabinieri or police? -Finance police and wrap it up.
Do we look the type to call the police to resolve problems?
I'm scared!
-What the fuck do we do? -I don't know.
You, come with me.
Move!
-Go! -I'm coming too.
-Where are we going? -Get on the raft.
She stays here.
No, I'll go in his place.
I need strong arms for the goods, I can't leave you two alone on the boat.
-What goods? -Mind your fucking business, get in.
Move!
No, Filippo!
Go!
Behave and you've nothing to be afraid of.
Directress, ma'am…
I owe you an apology.
It could have been a tragedy.
It's all my fault.
What apology?
After Nina, you're the best mother for Futura.
After what happened, the judge doesn't think that way.
They consider me ineligible for custody.
Meaning?
-They're evaluating other possibilities. -No way.
I'm the father, I choose who my daughter stays with.
Yes, but you're in here.
Then let her stay with me!
For inmate mothers it's possible.
The law's different for fathers.
And so?
There's just one solution.
-Give custody to your mother. -No.
No!
We made all this ruckus to keep Futura from my family!
It's not what you want
but if you do, you'll have more leaves.
I'll help you in every way.
Think about it.
Okay.
Thank you.
But they say you'll be sent away.
Is that true?
No, it's not.
My place is here.
ROME 3 MONTHS EARLIER
Come in, Sofia.
Congratulations, your operation is the talk of the Ministry.
Unorthodox methods but exceptional results.
Thank you, director, sir.
I'm giving you a new assignment.
It's with juveniles, the JDC in Naples.
I know your background, it may be hard on you.
But conclude the investigation
and you'll have that promotion.
I promise.
Well?
-Why not kill a little time? -No.
-Let go of me! -Come here.
Let's play a little. Like it?
What the fuck are you doing?
Bitch, where are you?
Piece of shit!
Guys, your attention.
The pantry sucks, it's gotta be organized.
I'll go?
Where are you going? Watch the pizza.
Come with me.
How are you feeling?
News of your mother?
No.
Yours?
She never comes to visit?
Mine…
is at the bottom of the sea.
We were on a refugee boat,
I was 6,
the sea was rough,
a wave hit and I ended up in the water.
Neither of us knew how to swim.
But she jumped in anyway.
She pushed me to the boat and someone pulled me up,
I turned around and she was gone.
I'm sorry.
Don't give up hope.
She's alive, she'll be back.
I hated her…
with all my heart.
But I miss her.
Know what I do to always have her with me?
No.
I draw her smile.
You have the same smile.
Pino…
Pino, no, please!
What are you doing here?
It's an order of suspended service.
You'll go back to the court of Ancona,
and it's been decided that, as of today, I will be…
the new directress of the Naples JDC.
