What was that?
Got everything here, there's a table... everything.
I think we're going to make a right mess.
I'd better chain myself.
Finally home.
Keep him still, hold him.
Who's there?
I'll gouge your eyes out.
- Giulio. - I'll rip your tongue out.
I'll kill you.
You'll be sorry.
Stop, Giulio.
Giulio, I saw you, I'll kill you.
You can't get away from us.
You'll get the same treatment as the cockerel.
You'll never get away from us.
- You finished already? - Come on, you're late.
- It's not my fault. - Guilio, hurry up.
It's not my fault, i'm sorry.
It's the moped, the starter wouldn't work.
Morning.
Don't clean just here, go over there.
Look, in the corner.
That's where the rubbish collects, over there.
- I need some money. - What? I just gave you 50.
- I need more. - Get a job.
Do you think it's that easy?
- Ok I'll be a prostitute. - You are a prostitute.
- Just give me some money. - Let go.
- Give me some money. - Let go!
Leave me alone, let go, let go.
You're a nasty old bitch!
Now get out!
- Hello? - Hi, honey.
- Hi, mum. - How are you?
- Fine and you? - I'm fine thanks.
What are you doing?
What do you think i'm doing? I'm studying, I have exams coming up.
- Is it hot there. - Yeah, it's very hot.
I have to go now mum, I have to pick up a couple of movies to study tonight.
- Hey, Andrea. - Hey, Sasha, how you doing?
- No change. - Meaning?
- My mum's being a pain. - Blame it on the heat.
Hey aren't you going on vacation?
No it's not the heat, she just likes getting on my case.
Yeah.
- Here i'm sorry. - No, it was my fault.
- You take it really go ahead. - I can rent it some other time.
But you were first.
Ok, but I'll bring it back tomorrow so you can have it.
Thanks, I'll pick it up tomorrow.
Hitchcock is so scary, he scares the shit out of me.
I've seen it already but I want to see it again, it's crazy.
- Why crazy? - Two guys meet on a train and agree to...
No, I don't want to spoil it for you, you'll see.
I'm really curious, i'm coming too.
I'll take this one.
I come here all the time, I live down the street.
- I work near here. - Really, where?
Near the square.
- Bye. - Bye.
Come on.
Made up your mind? Let me see.
Ah, you like old movies, huh?
Yeah, i'm writing my thesis on German expressionist directors.
- You know Fritz Lang, Murnau? - Yeah, Nosferatu.
And now Wegener, Dreyer - Vampire.
Yeah, then there's Faust, Four Devils, Der Golem...
Alright, I get the picture.
- My name's Andrea. - I'm Guilio.
Sasha turn it down please.
Sasha did you hear me? Turn it down!
- Sasha. Sasha. - What?
- You'll wake the whole building. - So what?
Turn it down right now dammit.
Whatever.
- Hi. - Guilio.
I'm returning these, what do I owe you?
24 hours, 3 days...
- For you 10 Euros. - Oh, thanks.
Hi.
- What were we saying? - I need to make some photocopies.
The machine's dead, I tried kicking it but that didn't work.
Like everything else in here. I'll have to close soon.
- I'd like to rent this. - "Strangers on a Train".
- Got a membership card? - No.
- I'll make one up for you, it's free. - Thank you.
I need your name and address.
Federica Lalli, Via Romani 24.
You don't live round here? You work nearby though.
I overheard you say so, I have a good memory...
especially when it comes to beautiful girls.
- How much? - You pay when you bring it back.
- Oh, I need you phone number. - 986 0489.
- And your cell number. - You want my fax too?
Goodbye.
We also make photocopies and develop film.
We used to.
Gotta go.
- Want a bite? - No, i'm on a diet.
I don't drink, too fattening, I don't even smoke dope.
You're sexy.
Any time...
Sasha?
Is that you? Sasha?
What's she got to hide?
Sasha?
Who brought you home? Sasha can you hear me?
When did you last see your mother?
Did you argue with her?
I think something happened to Mrs Siponi.
Mrs Siponi on the 2nd floor.
You scared me.
Wassup, hey what're you reading?
Peter Lorre eh, great actor huh?
- You heard about last night? - Yeah, it's all anyone's talking about.
Sasha's mum, can you believe it?
I heard it all happen, it woke me up.
- There was a scream and a loud noise. - Shit.
But I didn't get it then, I just went back to sleep.
If I'd gone to the window I might've seen who did it.
Seen them leave the building perhaps.
- They're saying it was theives. - Yeah, I heard.
Yeah, I gotta go.
- Take it easy. - And you.
I only know her by sight.
Imagine something like that happening right across from you.
- Were you frightened? - Well, a little.
- Do you want me to come over? - Mum, i'm not a kid anymore.
I know but I worry, how's everything else?
Great, how about you?
I have some wonderful news, I'm getting married again.
What?
A man proposed, he wants to marry me.
- Your tennis coach? - How did you know?
I saw you with him, it was kinda obvious.
Guilio you pick up on everything.
- I could see it coming. - I gave birth to a genius.
Oh I'm sorry Guilio, I shouldn't have told you over the phone.
That's ok. Anyway, congratulations.
He's a wonderful man, I want to introduce you, make it official.
Ok mum, sure.
- Bye, honey. - Goodbye, talk to you soon.
Lord, for whom our dearly departed live...
and for whom our bodies are not destroyed...
but transformed into a better state.
Heed the prayer of this your family and...
see that our sister Renata is accepted into the hands of the angels...
and led into heaven with your faithful patriach Abraham.
- Amen. - Amen.
I closed the store. Doubt anyone will notice.
Hey, you come out with me and you read the newspaper.
It says she's an only child.
The mother was a widow, the father was a top attorney...
He left them alot of money.
So what?
Nothing.
It also says the killer wore gloves.
And he beat her head in with a brass pestle.
She wanted to shout and call for help while she was bleeding to death...
but the killer hit her again and again...
splattered her brains all over the place.
Listen, can't we talk about something else?
- I've been thinking about it all day. - What?
Hitchcock, "Strangers on a Train".
What does Hitchcock have to do with it?
Come with me, I'll show you.
- Now? - Yeah.
Great.
- Hey, popular movie. - Right.
- This seat occupied? - No, please, sit down.
Excuse me are you by any chance the famous golf player...
"Strangers on a train" begins with the formulation of a very curious idea.
Two complete strangers meet on a train...
and one proposes to the other an exchange of murders.
Alfred Hitchcock directed the film in 1951...
adapted from a novel by Patricia Highsmith.
Ok, now i've seen it... so what?
Maybe they got the idea from the movie.
Are you saying they planned it and one girl killed the other one's mum?
You watch too many movies baby, that's bullshit.
Look where it happened.
The windows down there on the terrace.
- The shutters are down. - Yeah.
Haven't seen Sasha around for a while...
maybe she's gone to stay with a relative.
- Sasha? - She's the victim's daughter.
How do you know?
You watch her!
Ok, i've heard enough, let's go i'm hungry.
- Move it. - Ok.
No, look over there, you missed a bit, yes you missed a...
No, up a bit.
No, it's still dirty, higher, higher, to the top, to the top.
Every morning it's the same thing...
You can't get her up on time, I have to then drive her to school...
- I've got my job to think about. - What about me?
I can't believe this. You're supposed to be taking her to school.
Why can't you learn to drive, or put her on a bus?
I can't drive, I told you that, I'm terrified.
- Sorry. - No, don't worry about it.
I'm sorry.
Alvaro, there's a gentleman here for you.
Hey, who are you?
I... I'm a reporter.
Who let you in? What do you want?
The door was open, I wanted to take a look around for the article i'm writing.
I'm with the crime section.
You can't stay, if the owner finds out we'll be in big trouble.
- She's not home? - No, she's gone to stay with a relative for a few days.
And before she comes back she wants everything cleaned up, spotless.
It's always like that after a murder at home.
The victim's family doesn't feel like cleaning up.
That's interesting, I'll put that in my article.
Write that Alvaro told you, Alvaro Potasso.
I know all about it, I've seen it all.
And what paper do you write for?
I'll buy it and show my name to everyone.
Hey, hey you.
Hey, you looking for someone?
- Mother. - Oh Guilio. - Mum.
It was a pigsty in here.
Did I frighten you? You know I have the key.
Yeah mum but I wasn't expecting you.
Well I tried calling, your cellphone was switched off.
Any news about that murder?
See those windows right across from us? That's where it happened.
- Those on the terrace? - Yeah, those.
Hey there's a man, he's looking over here.
- Don't let him see you. - Why not?
- It's rude to stare. - But i'm curious.
- Do they know who did it? - No not yet.
Come home to Asti with me, at least for a few days...
you'll get away from here and... I can introduce you.
- To who? - To my fiance.
Mum I can't, I have exams.
- Introduce me some other time, huh? - Alright, alright.
Imagine your father, i'd love to be a fly on the wall when he finds out.
I have to hurry.
I'm due in court at 11 defending a client and the judge is a real shit.
Oh mum mum please mum.
Do you know how long it took me to drive here? 25 minutes.
You will come to my wedding won't you?
Yeah, and I'll dress for the occasion too, I'll wear a jacket.
- You happy? - Ecstatic.
The place looks like new.
You cleaned it all up, everything?
Yeah everything, we've done a great job.
- But some guy showed up while you were out. - Who?
I don't know, he said he was a reporter.
And you let him in? Really?
I can't believe it.
You know what, he lives right over there.
That's the guy.
Who is he, some maniac?
I don't if he's a maniac but he's been watching me.
Tell me about it, I'd watch you too.
Hey, are you just here to fuck around or what?
Go away.
Who's there?
Hello.
Who is this?
Who is this?!
What's wrong, you sound weird?
- Someone was in my apartment. - Who?
I don't know, he took off before I had a chance to see him.
I don't know what he wanted, there's nothing to steal here.
How did he get in?
Through the door I think, but there's no sign of a break-in.
Maybe he made a cast of the lock when I wasn't around.
He's got a key to my place, you know?
- So change the lock. - Please...
Come sleep over, I'm too scared to sleep alone.
She knows I suspect her, the cleaner guy told her.
No wait, she knows you spy on her, that's how I see it.
You know she could report it to the police?
It's called stalking, I read an article.
Right.
She gets everything.
At least 1 million Euros.
How did you get that? Who gave it to you?
- I took it from the mailbox. - What?
Here...
People have killed for a lot less.
But she has an alibi, she was out with friends at the time of the murder.
Just like in the Hitchcock movie...
The two are supposed as one murder, so they both have alibis.
Ok, if you're so sure, why don't you go to the police?
I don't have any proof, they'd think I was nuts.
Nuts? You're totally paranoid.
Anyway, thanks for coming over.
Want to know why?
Becuase the more I think about it, the more it turns me on.
Yeah, turns me on. You have no idea how much it turns me on.
- Come on. - What's wrong?
You think it's funny...
- But someone else could die. - God, that again!
It's an obsession with you.
It's criss cross, you scratch my back I'll scratch yours.
The blonde did her job and now it's Sasha's turn to kill.
But who?
Someone close to the blonde, someone she wants to see dead.
I have to find out more, dig deeper into the blonde's life.
What the fuck are you talking about? No I don't want to know.
I'm out of here. You need help, go see a shrink.
- I need what? - A shrink, a good shrink.
Go fuck yourself!
You'll see!
- All done, no more worries with this lock. - Thanks.
- How much is it? - Well it's...
It's 120 for the job, it's 120 euros.
Hey Guilio.
Bye, see you later.
What's up?
I've got something to tell you.
Come inside.
Guess who came by?
- Sasha. She asked me about you. - Yeah?
Really?
What did you tell her?
Nothing, that we know each other, that you're a friend.
- And what else? - You really like her huh?
She said you watch her, staring at her from your place.
Maybe I looked a couple of times.
Her window's right across from me, I'd have to be blind.
It's not a big deal, she's weird.
But you can hardly blame her. Hey, they killed her mother.
What did she say about it? Did she talk?
What do you expect, it was a terrible blow.
She's been to the police, says they aren't doing anything.
They couldn't care less.
- Hi. - Hi.
Do you have David Lynch's "Blue Velvet", with the interview?
Sorry, it's out. But I have "Eraserhead", with all the extras.
No thanks.
Who's there?
- Hey. - Guilio.
Here's the moive. It's late, I completely forgot about it.
Don't worry about it, just give me 2 euros.
- That's all? - Alright, so make it 2 euros and a favour.
I need to go to the bar, can you keep an eye on things?
Yeah, sure.
Alright, if anyone comes in just tell them to wait.
- Or you handle it, you know what to do? - Yeah.
- Hey. - Hiya.
- Where's Andrea? - He's at the bar, he'll be right back.
We see each other all the time but we've never been introduced.
- I'm Sasha. - I know, I'm Guilio.
I'm really sorry about what happened to your mother.
Tell me about it.
- Did you return this? - Well, yeah.
- Let's put it where it belongs. - Sure.
- Do you like Hitchcock? - Yeah, I'm a film student.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
- What do you want to be, a director? - Director? I don't know, maybe.
I'm studying communications sciences.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Hey, if you need an actress call me.
You've already seen me naked.
- Hi, Andrea. - You're friend is cute.
I think she likes you.
Federica.
Hello.
- Hurry up, they said it might rain. - Are we going home with you?
Stop it, I won't come here again.
You enjoyed the other times didn't you?
No, not like this and you know it, I gave in to your blackmails.
What blackmail? We had an agreement.
Why won't you leave me alone?
You're not old, you're good looking...
You could have anyone you want, you don't need to.
Listen princess...
I didn't steal that money from our clients.
I can give it back.
Just let me go.
Oh come on, you're not leaving here until you put out.
Fucking creep.
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna rip your head off, you peeping Tom!
I'm gonna rip your fucking head off!
Well, you've got a pretty nasty fracture of the second metatarsal...
but fortunately for you it's a clean one.
- How long am I stuck with this? - 30 to 40 days.
- That long? - Thank your lucky stars it's just your metatarsal...
You could've broken your leg, too.
- What happened? - I told you mum, I fell off my moped.
How will you manage on your own? Come home to Asti with me.
Let me look after you.
I can't mum I... I've got something to do.
Please mother, you're driving.
How am I doing?
Sit down, don't push it, you should be resting.
- Here, put it up. - You sound like my mother.
- You still haven't told me how you broke it. - I fell off the moped.
How did it happen?
Ok, I did not fall off the moped.
I was following the blonde and... I fell off a balcony.
- You what? - Well listen to this:
She was with a man, her boss, and he forces her to have sex with him...
because she stole money from the office and he found out.
Blackmail!
And it's the perfect motive for his death.
That's where the brunette joins the party.
"Criss Cross", "Strangers on a Train".
- And do you think... - That's the blonde's motive.
Either that or Sasha's gonna pay her for killing her mother.
Same result, no more blackmail.
You had me come here to listen to this crap?
- You were the one who wanted to come. - What?
I just called to tell you I'd broken my foot.
And you know what, this is the first time you haven't interrupted me.
Oh please, don't start that again.
- Start what? - This.
Ok, maybe it wan't such a good idea my coming over, you're getting worse.
- No no, you're getting worse. - No you're getting worse.
- No you're getting worse! - I'm leaving.
Don't bother looking for you're stuff, you know...
you're perfume and your bracelets, your underwear...
I threw them out!
Ok ok, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, hey wait, wait.
- Close the door. - Come on, come back in.
- What the fuck do you want from me? - I just wanna talk, let's talk.
Talk about what? Sasha? I'm sick of Sasha, you can have her.
- Don't be that way. - Be what way?
You're the selfish freak.
Stop it.
- You stop it. - No, you stop it.
- You stop it. - Stop it.
It's over Guilio, I never want to see you again, ok?
- And don't come back. - Fuck you.
Hey, what's with the elevator?
Hey, what a surprise.
I brought you these, help pass the time.
- Hey, classic Hitchcock. - Thank you.
Come on inside.
How's the leg coming along, feeling better?
So so.
- You ok? - Fuck.
- It hurts, huh? - Yeah.
- Hey nice place. - Thanks.
- You live here alone? - Yeah, I do.
Lucky you.
- Ok if I use your bathroom? - Oh sure, it's that way.
- Hey Guilio, come here a minute. - What's wrong?
I guess the tap's broken, I can't even turn the water off.
Oh ok, I'm coming.
If you'd just minded your own business, but no...
The store's going under and I need the money.
Sasha's rich now, I even fucked her, I have to do it.
I have to do it, I have to do it.
What the hell is going on?
It's coming from inside, oh no, my son, Guilio.
It doesn't fit, oh god he's changed the lock.
Hurry, hurry, do something.
Oh, my son Guilio.
Guilio, please breath.
Thank god you're alive.
- He's not moving. - Someone get an ambulance.
- It's all blocked up there. - We'll just bring him in through that end.
You wanna frame me you bastards, you people are corrupt.
I didn't do anything, let me go.
I didn't do anything, I didn't.
I have an alibi, I've been in the house.
You people are insane.
Totally out of your minds.
Fuck you!
Let go!
Look at that, she's a murderer, she killed her mother.
Nice friends you have.
Sasha paid him to kill her mother and shut me up too.
Thank god we arrived when we did.
The case may be closed but there are still some details to clear up.
- Can't it wait, he's in pain? - Yeah.
- Mum please, please. - Okay, I'm calling the doctor.
This is my card, you can contact me at the local police station.
But next time, if there is a next time...
Call us first, don't wait for them to kill you.
- There won't be a next time inspector. - Alright.
Listen, you were a big help, thanks, see you around.
We were supposed to be officially introduced, it meant alot to your mum...
but with all the excitement... - Great timing, you saved my life.
Your mother did, her insistence, she almost dragged me over here.
It was you too, guess I should start calling you dad.
- Why not? - Forget it.
- Hi. - Hi.
Talk about a major bitch, huh?
I was such a jerk.
- You wouldn't believe me. - Yeah, and you were right all along.
Well, almost right...
but it wasn't a swap because Sasha paid Andrea to murder her mum.
So it was "Dial M for Murder", too.
- You know the one where the guy hires a killer... - Yeah.
To murder his wife, in this case the victim was the mother.
Oh look, Andrea, brought me this.
Maybe he wanted to tell me something.
I'll keep it as a souvenir.
If I were you I'd want to forget.
Did you hear what I said?
You're right, it's over, finished.
- Can you do it with that leg? - I don't know, I haven't tried.
- You want to try? - Yeah.
If you can't move I'll do everything.
- Close the window. - Yeah.
- What is it? - There's a woman standing at Sasha's door.
- She doesn't look like she belongs there. - Let me see.
Who is she?
I don't know, get me the binoculars, over there.
She's all in black, she's looking for something.
- Give me them. - Wait.
- She's wearing gloves. - Yes, she doesn't want to leave fingerprints.
- Give me them. - No, wait.
They're mine, come on.
- I'll switch off the light. - Yeah, right.
She might see us.
Where is she, I can't see her anymore?
I'm gonna go see who it is.
Where are you going? You're not going anywhere.
- I'm going. - It's too dangerous.
Ok, I'll take my cellphone with me.
Ariana, no!
I'll show you i'm no jerk.
Ariana, come back, are you crazy?
Fuck!
- Yeah? - Run, it's Federica, she's the real killer, get out.
Then what about the guy at the video store?
He had nothing to do with it at the beginning, perhaps he joined them later.
Please, get out of there do your hear me?
No, I wanna catch her in the act, the police need a witness.
Don't be stupid, she's a killer, she'll kill you too.
No way am I quitting.
- Hello. - Inspector this is Guilio, remember me?
There's a woman in Sasha's apartment...
She's the killer, she's a friend of Sasha's.
She let herself just like she did the night of the murder.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, and my girlfriend's there, she's in danger.
Ok, I'm on my way.
Did Guilio call you?
Stop, police.
Stop.
Stop, police. Stay where you are.
Stop.
Stop, freeze, police, freeze.
- Drop the knife. - No.
- Hey, look at me. - No, go away and leave me in peace.
No one's gonna hurt you, ok?
- Take it easy. - No.
Look at me, hey come here, come down.
Drop it, drop the knife, drop it.
Ok good, now give me your hand, give me your hand.
Get down, get down.
Hold on.
You'd better give me your other hand.
- I'm losing you. - Come on.
- I'm losing you. - Just try, please try.
Just let me go.
- Give me the other hand. - I'm slipping.
Give her your hand, give her your other hand.
- I'm slipping. - Try, don't give up.
I got you, I got you.
That's it, come on, don't give up.
Don't give up.
That's it, you're there.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold it right there, you're under arrest for the murder of Renata Suboni.
And that knife, you were planning to kill again.
I heard noises, panicked... that's why I grabbed the knife.
We already had a culprit, guy from the video store, why did you come back?
I left my key behind, Sasha gave me her key to use that night and...
I was supposed to leave it where I'd be seen afterwards but...
I got confused and left my key instead.
- And Sasha didn't notice? - I don't know.
But she couldn't give it back to me, we were supposed not to talk...
or see each other until things had calmed down.
Knowing my key was at Sasha's place was driving me crazy.
I had to go back and get it.
You were waiting for me, who called you?
My boyfriend.
That's better.
Tour de France.
- Hello. - Hi, Guilio.
- Hi mum, how you doing? - I'm good, did you finish your thesis?
- No, I changed my thesis. - What?
I'm sick of expressionism, I'm doing Russian cinema in the Stalinist era.
- Really? - Yeah.
But why, I thought you loved expressionism.
I don't understand but I guess you know best.
Honey, do you know Orazio takes me to dinner every other night.
Sorry mum, I gotta go, call you later.
