Dad!...
Dad... Dad... Dad... Dad...
I'm sorry...
Leave this to me. You are in danger.
Nina... I want you to stay away from everything and everyone.
Promise.
Cecilia Mandelli.
INTO THE WOODS
Professor...
Betta...
- Professor... - Betta what's wrong?
You were right about everything...
I was very ill yesterday, I don't know what happened...
- Betta, stay calm... - I think they drugged me.
- Stay calm, tell me what happened... - ...I'm scared...
No Betta, tell me what happened...
He is here too...
Who? De Michelis?
Well, if he's not on campus, maybe I can get him...
Betta...
Luca... Luca, Betta is in danger.
What wrong?
I don't know. She saw De Michelis and ran away.
You must remain calm...
Let's go...
We are gathered here to celebrate the life of Pietro Ferrari.
Not his death but the life of this man
that brought the community together.
Let's reflect on our brother Pietro,
a man we have all known and loved.
Let's pray...
You have 48 hours to leave and forget everything
if you stay, you'll die...
Rise...
In the name of the Father, the Son,
of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
May the Lord who guides our hearts...
may love and Christ's patience be with you all.
I confess to almighty God, and to you,
that I have sinned...
in my thoughts, my words, my deeds and omissions
through my own fault, my own fault, my own enormous fault...
Now, I'll finish you, you bastard...
Massimo...
Have you seen Damiani?
No, why?
I found this in the church, where I was sitting.
Are you kidding? But what does it mean?
Excuse me a moment...
Betta...
I found the pills... yes...
they were on the desk of that piece of shit...
Be calm, we must meet Betta, now.
OK, good. I'm coming.
No. Let's meet at the Betty Blue.
I'm leaving now.
No, I can't understand.
Nina, wait.
Come on, answer me...
Shit...
Nina...
Betta found the pills, we had to meet at the Betty Blue...
but didn't arrive. She seems to have disappeared...
What do you mean 'disappear'?
Yes, damn it! Disappeared... Disappeared...
Go away from there, immediately. You shouldn't be by yourself...
Listen to me, Luca. It's not me you need to worry about.
Do as I tell you. I will look for Betta.
I'll inform you as soon as I know something...
All right.
I'm Inspector Damiani.
A girl disappeared.
Elisabetta Miraglia. I repeat Elisabetta Miraglia.
Activate the search, immediately.
Leonardo, have you seen Betta?
Why? What's going on?
I have to talk to her, but she's gone. When did you last see her?
Last night I took her to the lab to test her blood.
Yes...
You wouldn't believe the state she was in...
She was very bad. She looked like a ghost.
Leonardo, what did you find in those blood tests?
This is the thing: nothing.
And anyway Massimo, whatever he's giving to these girls,
leaves no traces.
So if you're sick, you'll never know why you're sick...
Yes, but please, please, Nina,
- ...let's tackle one topic at a time. - Yes...
We were talking about your nightmare.
Yes...
You were saying that before your father's death,
you remembered everything. Is that so?
Yes, I...
I saw him in the woods...
I saw him kill my mother...
Are you sure?
Yes...
And... how does his death make you feel now?
I feel...
I feel betrayed... I feel...
I'm angry...
But have you not experienced any pain?
Yes, yes, at first I did. Yes...
but then...
then, the rage began to mount.
An unbearable rage.
And then, Betta with what she told me made me realize I'm right.
Massimo they are all involved.
And I'm in trouble, because you can't hide from this. Get it?
You have to calm down... calm down.
You see that you are not lucid...
you continue to confuse the events...
- ...they're all involved, you say? - Yes.
But hear yourself: everyone.
So... in the city?
- The company? Here on campus? - Yes.
- Everyone's involved? - Yes.
So, I'm also part of this plot, right?
No... not you...
What should I do?
You need help, Nina.
You can't face everything by yourself.
She was probably driving to the Betty Blue.
A couple of kilometers and she would've made it...
Do you believe me now?
It's not the same handwriting...
The calligraphy of the letters and those of the diary
are completely different, because those letters are fake.
Those letters are my father's umpteenth lie.
In the diary, however, I found the memories and thoughts
of a sad woman...
sad and fragile but full of love.
As I have always remembered her.
However, there is more in that diary...
my mother talks about a man...
an obsessive man who tormented her, persecuted her.
Who is this man?
Take a seat.
Tell me...
I wanted to talk to you about your father's death.
What I know about my father's murder, I have already told Damiani.
Listen Nina, you live by yourself at the villa... no?
It's dangerous.
Maybe it's better if you leave the city for some time.
Really? What a coincidence...
Really incredible, they seem...
they seem to have almost the same wording, am I wrong?
When did you receive this?
But how? You really don't know about this?
What?
Or are you pretending you don't know?
But what? I don't know anything.
You don't know anything about this message?
You keep pretending you don't know anything.
You keep pretending you don't know anything about all this.
What are you suggesting Nina? Eh?
What's going on?
I have to talk to you.
Betta said she had found the pills in De Michelis' office.
And to have taken them with her...
We didn't find anything...
What do you mean you didn't find anything?
Who examined the body?
- I... And there were no pills. - Ah no?
Not even in her car...
Unbelievable...
What are you saying, that this girl made everything up?
- Nina...- But what... - Or maybe I invented everything?
What are you saying?
You must be careful.
What were you thinking?
Shit, Luca... Didn't hear how he spoke to me,
what he said to me!
He asked me to leave, to leave the city. Get it?
And what do you do?
You accuse him of something you can't even proof!
Nina...
I'll tell you for the umpteenth time:
stay out of this story!
This it's too dangerous. You can't be alone at your father's.
Tonight I'll come and we'll find a solution. I have to go.
Let's meet as soon as we can...
Alex...
I discovered what Perri and Viviana were hiding.
There were trucks coming in and out of the company...
there must be a load hidden in that building...
A load? Of what?
I don't know, I don't know...
But there was another man with Perri... Asian.
They acted as if they were closing a deal...
Holy Christ, Alex...
What if it were the same substance they're giving to those girls?
- Good morning. - Miss Ferrari...
Can I help you?
The director's office, Mr. Perri, please.
Dr. Perri is not in at the moment...
That's even better...
No, wait, miss...
I can't let you in without an appointment...
Did you hear me?
Look, really, I'm sorry but I just can't...
Wait, I'm telling you... You can't go in...
Shit...
What are you doing?
To whom are you selling that shit?
What are you talking about?
Viviana I'll trash this place, until I find what I'm looking for.
I swear!
No, you will not find anything. In fact, you're leaving...
- Call security... - Immediately.
Get this into your head, this company is now also mine.
It will never be your company.
You miscalculated, child.
Perri and I, will give you a minor share.
And you will not have any power here.
You can't do it...
We have already.
With whom did you think Perri would ally and ask for advice?
With the daughter of the owner or with me?
You're right...
you've always been together... isn't it so?
Is that it?
You don't know anything...
But what do you think you're doing? Don't you dare touch me!
You're a bastard!
Hello...
Massimo are you at campus? I found the pills.
What?
Yes, I found the pills. Yes...
...see you at the lab. Come now.
Try to find out the composition of these pills.
We must know what they are based on and why they don't leave traces...
Let's see what I can do...
And?
I need other tools to work on the composition.
Try to find at least the active ingredient.
I'm here.
Sorry, I came as soon as I could.
Did you find out what it is?
Not yet, but we're close... ...come.
In addition to the pills, I found a USB stick.
...with these graphs. Look.
The first one represents the release of amphetamine and dopamine
and the values ​​are apparently normal for a medicine.
- Right? - Yes, yes...
The second chart is the interesting one.
Look at the values...
they are very high.
And if we assume that this second medicine
relates to the effects of the second pill,
it means that we're dealing with a really powerful drug.
Yes, sure.
It's just that I can't understand...
why two pills...
The first drug is the experiment's baseline,
from twenty years ago.
The second pill, the red one,
is the substance obtained thanks to that experiment...
But to what end? Sorry...
Look at the chart...
These effects burn brain cells and condition behavior...
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
This register will demonstrate the effect
of the pills I found at my father's company.
I can't demonstrate their effects with scientific analyzes,
because these pills leave no trace...
So, the only way I can demonstrate their effect
is by testing them on myself...
I told you not to follow me...
Luca, what are you doing here?
I told you I'd be coming to check on you.
I won't leave you alone after what happened...
Come in.
What were you doing?
Nothing...
Is this the stuff that you found at the company?
Nina...
Nina, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm fine, I'm fine...
Just give me a minute, I'll be back. One minute.
Help...
What's going on?
- I'm better, I'm better... - Nina...
I'm much better, thanks...
- Are you ok? - I'm better, I'm much better now...
- I'll bring you some water... - Thank you.
No, no, no... wait, wait, wait.
stay a moment here... why not...
What are you doing?
Why don't you stay here for a moment... a moment...
Wait...
Wait... wait, wait...
Come here... come...
Let's go, come, come...
Come here, come here...
Come on, pick up, pick up... go ahead...
Alex...
What were you doing with Damiani last night?
With Damiani?
I honestly don't remember...
You don't remember?
I found the pills and took one. Then, I felt sick...
You took a pill... but why?
Because I wanted to demonstrate their effect, Alex.
I was recording them... then Damiani arrived,
and this morning I didn't find it... I think...
he took everything, maybe, I don't know.
What did you do?
I... I don't know...
In short, I don't think it's normal to not remember...
it's... it's one of the effects of the pill...
it affects the short-term memory and distorts the personality.
I had to try, Alex.
I had to understand what happened to those girls...
I want to end this.
Gentlemen, years of research and investment...
have been finally rewarded with success.
Today, thanks to our collaboration,
to interfere in a person's behavior
and control their choices, their emotions,
is no longer science fiction.
Miss Ferrari... excuse me, can I help you?
- You can't go in. - I know the way. Thank you.
What you are seeing now, is the result of our work.
Tim...
It was an advantage for us...
to stay away from the pharmaceutical multinationals...
to be able to operate freely without restrictions.
Allow us to repay your generosity Mr. Myong.
It'll be our pleasure this evening, to invite you to a party, let's say...
particular...
Where you can see with your own eyes the power of what you have purchased.
Well, our meeting can be considered done.
And I thank you again for your time.
Hey... hey...
I know what you're doing...
You've created a powerful psychotropic drug
which inhibits people's minds, and doesn't allow them to react. No?
Bravo, you're talking about the most powerful
circulating hallucinogenic substance.
Do you know how much it is worth?
I don't know how much it's worth...
but it will be worth a life sentence for all of you.
Damiani is already coming.
- He's coming here. - Enough Nina... enough...
What are you doing? Leave me!
Luca... Oh dear Luca!
Oh dear Luca, thank goodness.
Thank God you're here... they're all inside, Luca.
They are all in there. They are there...
Luca...
Damiani!
- Luca... - Damiani!
Leonardo... Where are you going?
Your internship is over for today. Come.
Alex...
...why did you call me?
Because it's your last chance to clean your hands,
of all the blood that has been spilled.
I haven't done anything.
Then prove it.
They took Nina.
And Damiani was with them...
Either you take me... or you help me get everyone else...
The pill.
Nina...
open, open... good...
water...
Look, I'm closing up. Come back tomorrow.
No, no, I'm not here for that. Professor Ferrari is in danger.
Shit...
And...?
Nina is at the Minutillo clinic.
Why did they take her there?
I don't know. I saw them taking her to the basement.
They know that she found out...
What do you think they'll do?
I don't know.
I'm going to get her.
Come on Santini, pick up...
Piece of shit, I know you're here...
I'll kill you bastard!
Come here...
Come on Santini, pick up...
Damn it...
We are here.
- She has been stabilized. - Yes, all is well.
Good. Now we just have to wait.
Where's Nina?
Security!
Nina...
I'll carry you.
Come...
come on...
Hurry. Central corridor.
Come on...
Stay down...
Come on...
Here we are...
Nina!...
Damn it!
Look for him! Go find him! Walk!
Yes, the sofa here. You put it here... here.
Good.
And close all the shutters.
It's Alex.
- He found them. - Let's go.
Excuse me, we would like to report a crime.
Fill the form and provide a brief description.
No, wait, maybe we were not clear:
we must talk with the vice commissioner Santini now.
The deputy commissioner died.
When?
Did not you hear about the fire at his place?
Who's in charge of the investigation now?
Please, can't you see the mess we're in today?
We're in a state of alarm.
If you have to report something, fill out the form...
It's impossible that all of Santini's documents are gone!
But in short...
but I continue to have difficulty...
Santini had told me about investigating
a pharmaceutical company.
Where are those documents?
I'm sorry, they have not been archived...
his colleague, Damiani, is missing, maybe he...
Look, Damiani can't help you.
Who are you?
Two people who know what Santini wanted to talk about...
Gentlemen, here we are together again.
Tonight mister Myong, will have a taste of our generosity,
And I hope it's very pleasing...
It will be in effect an unforgettable party... Yes?
Dr. Minutillo informs me the person we were waiting for...
has finally arrived.
What you're telling me is absurd.
A plot that involves the most powerful men in the city...
You must believe us.
We can't waste any more time...
And besides, we know where they are...
Help!
Where's Nina?
- Where did you take her? - I don't know.
Help!
Nina!
Arrest that man!
Take off the handcuffs... take your hands off me!
Here we go...
They're here.
Oh Holy God...
What did they do to you?
Hey... hey...
Thanks...
thanks guys...
thanks for all that... that you did for me.
You have been very brave...
Thank you...
thank you for everything...
Miss Ferrari...
Thank you.
Please have a seat.
This way.
So, Miss Ferrari,
it is not necessary for you to testify tonight.
If you want to, you can go.
Where is Alex?
Corso must still answer a few questions.
He's still among the suspects...
But don't worry, he'll be released very soon.
Listen, I'm sorry there's...
there's another thing I'd like to ask you...
That man...
he had a tattoo...
A snake with a sword.
I would like to see his face just for a moment, please.
I'm sorry but none of the people arrested had a tattoo...
What are you saying? He was in front of me, I saw him.
It might be stress, your imagination...
No, no stress, no imagination.
I am telling you, he was in front of me!
They are all guilty.
And thanks to you, they've all been arrested.
The truth will come out...
All right... all right... all right...
You're not well. Sit down, sit down...
Go home.
You must rest.
Did you find Damiani?
No...
His house is empty,
and the car is not there, he must be trying to escape
but he will not go far...
Listen, just listen to me: go home.
Is there anyone I can call? Someone who can come and get you?
Yes.
Can you walk? - Yes.
Careful... come here...
Lie down...
- Calm down... - Ok.
How do you feel? - Better, better now.
- Yes? - Yes.
Do you want something warm?
Alright then...
Massimo... Massimo...
You see? I...
I'm not crazy.
It was real...
it was all true... I'm not crazy...
I'll be right back.
I'm not crazy... I'm not crazy...
Alex.
Make sure you're available...
and never act on your own again.
I was forced to do so...
Thanks for listening to me.
Telephone answering service...
I don't...
I don't know how it happened, but when...
when I opened my eyes, I was in that room.
And that man was already on top of me.
The man you say you saw with the mask?
Yes, that one.
And I tried to resist. I tried to resist but...
at a certain moment I felt so weak, so...
devoid of strength as if I were... stuck.
But I'm sure I saw that tattoo.
And this is what I haven't got clear. What I can't understand.
Because if I'm not crazy,
why then none of them had a tattoo. Why?
Nina, you're not crazy.
But perhaps...
most likely...
that tattoo doesn't even exist.
It's just a figment of your imagination, of the hallucinations.
It's just a symbol that you associate with your past, somehow.
You can't go on like this, Nina...
The time has come to get rid of it.
Otherwise, it may become an obsession.
Oh my God, maybe you're right.
Maybe all this time, I have
continued to mix my thoughts with the memories.
To... maybe I never...
I never understood my emotions.
You, Massimo, you were the only one...
the only one, Massimo, who...
you're the only one who helped me understand.
Come here... I'm here...
I couldn't have done it without you...
Massi...
I couldn't have done it without you either...
Massimo... Massimo...
Massimo, what are you doing?
Massimo!
What's wrong Nina?
Oh my God...
Massimo what's going on?
Nina here I am...
you are so beautiful...
you're more beautiful than your mother...
- Nina... - No... no...
Come here... stay still... stay still..
It's all over, Nina.
Eleonora!...
Nina, you have to do what I tell you. Understood?
Stay here and don't move...
...under no circumstance...
Mom!
Noo! Leave her!
Come... come with me...
Don't be afraid, it's me, dad. Come...
If you're looking for a mouse, just look in the sewers.
Piece of shit... why did you kill him?
He didn't want to let me in...
Bastard, I'll kill you!
Hey, stop it!
You are only a servant...
A servant?
No.
I'm a fundamental part of the plan...
It's money, Alex.
A huge amount of money...
You have stained your hands with blood for their crumbs...
...just like a servant would do!...
Good. Get on your knees!
Get on your knees...
You're the one who attacked Nina, eh?
Did you want to kill her?
I didn't want to hurt her...
I just wanted to scare her...
I followed her into the woods, I did everything to drive her away,
but it was not enough.
Because she was always next to an imbecile
ready to give her confidence, to give her a hand.
Damiani it's over... they're all in jail!
What the hell are you laughing at?
You still don't understand to whom you're against...
they will be out of jail before your funeral.
No witnesses... no culprit...
Nina... Where's Nina?
Alex, listen to me...
go and kiss my...
Tell me where Nina is!
Damn it...
For the last time, tell me where she is...
So much for that trust...
Curcio...
Please... please...
Let me go... let me go.
They will find me... they will find me. Let me...
Nobody will find you here.
This place has always existed.
Who are you?
Who the hell are you?
I am just the peak of a small pyramid
which is the basis of something very powerful.
I can still save you...
but you have to stay with me...
Nina, stay with me...
Nina...
You make me sick...
Nina... how are you?
She was here...
my mother has always been here...
