Moving on to crime news,
The police disclosed the details of the violent bar fight in Esquilino,
Two hospitalized for burns and one for beatings,
The bar is a renowned meeting point for homosexuals,
which for this reason became the target of a group of,,,
Lella, why are we in the dark?
I don't know, Mrs, Tattilo's orders,
That's what we are down to? Saving on bills?
Happy birthday to you
- You got me, huh? Well done, - Happy birthday, dear Editor
Happy birthday to you
- Make a wish, - Make a wish, a wish,
This might be our last party,
If the judges force us to change our name, many advertising deals might fall through,
Well, we'll find new ones,
What will people ask for at the newsstand?
By the time they get used to a new name, we'll have closed shop,
If we lose the appeal, you'll have to let people go, It's the only solution,
Editor,
Wanna dance?
Here he is!
Happy birthday, Editor!
I wanted to know how you were,
I have something to ask you, You're the only one who can help me,
Where did you get that?
Gianluca gave it to me, He asked me to keep it for him,
I don't know what to do, I thought--
That I was so dumb to let you hide it here?
Lorenzo,,,
I can't sleep,
Go to bed, I'm coming,
I'll go to her, You go home,
INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY
Happy birthday,
Thanks,
I thought you were mad at me,
Of course I'm mad at you,
You left and let that poor guy get beaten up,
What could I do? Did you see how many they were?
You didn't run to avoid getting into the fight,
You were afraid one of your old pals would recognize you,
And find out you're a faggot,
- No way, - Morning,
- Morning,
Already at work?
We have some ideas, but nothing good,
Actually, we might have a good one,
What is it?
The revolution,
- You want to take to the streets? - We mean another kind of revolution,
One fought between the sheets, not on the streets,
Birth control pill,
Parliament abolished the article of the code that prohibited it,
- Where's the revolution? - Usage is allowed,
If you produce or sell it, you go to jail,
A friend of mine has to get it illegally in Switzerland,
- Unbelievable, - That's what's revolutionary,
For the first time, a woman can choose to become a mother
without relying on chance or a man,
"Free to come, Free to love," Quite the title, huh?
I don't know about the title, but the topic is interesting,
But maybe our editor isn't convinced,
I don't think a pill is enough to make you feel free,
Well, it depends on the pill,
But it's exactly what I want in our next issue, Conflicting opinions,
People who think differently, who don't agree,
We could interview some priests, even the nuns,
Why not?
Ma'am, Counselor Lanza's here,
Bad news from New York,
The American judge ruled in favor of Hefner too,
So Playmen can't be released in the US unless it changes its name,
Can the American ruling be considered a precedent by an Italian judge?
Not juridically,
But it gives our counterpart an advantage,
So it's done, We're going to lose,
Not necessarily, but it's going to be more difficult now,
What about your idea, that we didn't actually copy anything
because there's nothing to copy?
Our lawyer says we don't have any good arguments to make a case,
Only because it's not his idea,
Foschi said there's a center for American studies in Rome,
with a full English library,
So?
What was Mr, Balsamo inspired by in creating Playmen?
A bit by Playboy, of course,
Of course,
What if Playboy was inspired by something else?
Maybe we can find magazines or newspaper articles in that library
that talk about Playboy and its origins,
But I don't speak English,
Adelina told me you need a hand with translations?
Yes,
Good, Can you ride a motorbike?
- Why? - Don't you have to go to the study center?
I'll get my stuff,
- I know, they have the same effect on me, - But they shouldn't have it on me,
Pleased to meet you, Father Rocco,
Nice to meet you, Steve Magenta,
And,,, what brings you here?
I'm doing a full nude,
I'm kidding, I was summoned by the owner,
I see you already met,
Hi,
Come with me,
Shall we?
Let's go,
Why did you call me?
I'd like you to write an article
about the birth control pill for my magazine,
I know the Church thinks the pill is a sin, I know,
The Pope actually allows it for therapeutic purposes,
Write about that, then,
I want an open and free debate,
Many Catholic women read Playmen,
- Catholic like you? - Will you do it or not?
There's nothing,
We won't find anything this way,
It's nearly 20 years of material to go through,
Let's focus on magazines and newspapers from July 1968,
Why July 1968?
Playboy published the first photo showing pubic hair in July 1968,
- How do you know that? - I read it in the Italian Playboy,
It was a scandal, remarkable stuff,
So extraordinary,,, that there might be an article about it,
Exactly,
So, 1968,
Yeah, 1968,,,
Why did you ask me to come?
To tell you I'm sorry about yesterday,
I should have told you right away,
I shouldn't have taken it, nor brought it to you,
I have to keep it until tomorrow's demonstration,
- Then he'll take it back, that's the deal, - A shitty deal,
What the fuck does he need a gun for at the protest?
I don't know, okay?
I fucked up, I know that,
Come on,
We'll go take it back tomorrow,
Then no more fuckups,
Look at this,
That's interesting,
- We can leave, - We can leave,
Elsa,
How are you?
I heard the trial's in a few days,
The trial against Playmen is tomorrow,
I'm talking about your trial,
Against Ettore,
- Want me to come with you? - No, thanks,
If this photo is really the reason, there's something you need to know,
It doesn't tell the truth,
The girl has nothing to do with it, I'm trying to stop an armed man,
He's out of the frame, That's him, You can only see his foot,
Why did they send you to the Vice Squad?
I have a bad temper, I made some enemies,
One more enemy is no big deal, then,
TATTILO PUBLISHING
Excuse me, Lella,
Did Poggi come in today?
Yes, he came by,
He had to develop some photos, but he didn't come upstairs,
Anyway, Editor, I'm leaving, but there's a man upstairs,
he says he's a friend from the military,
- I asked him to wait in your office, - Good,
- Thanks, you can go, I'll close up, - Good evening, Editor,
- I wouldn't have come if it wasn't urgent, - Don't worry, Go ahead,
There are some dangerous photos circulating,
CLASSIFIED
That's the Minister,
There are more, where he's intimate with a young man,
And how can I help you?
Let's say your knowledge of the environment could be of help,
We have to find the negatives, And the person who took them,
Can't you just make him resign?
You find those photos,
You'll be doing a service to the nation and your career as well,
Aren't you tired of writing for a wanker's magazine?
Playmen is much more than that,
Yeah, but,,, I know this is not where you'd like to be,
Where do you think I'd like to be?
At Corriere della Sera, for example,
But you have to find those photos,
TATTILO PUBLISHING
Come in,
May I? I saw the light was on,
Come,
Can I ask you a technical opinion on a photo?
- It's personal, - You trust me?
- Wasn't I,,, - I trust you as a photographer,
Show it to me,
Here, Do you think it's possible
that the policeman was aiming at someone out of frame and not at the girl?
Yes, I mean,,,
See his gaze?
It's directed outward, The arm's trajectory too,
And there's a foot here,
It means there was someone there,
It is possible,
Thank you,
Nothing, this one doesn't work, There must be a pen somewhere,
What are you doing in my room?
What's this?
You went through my stuff?
No, I was looking for a pencil, and,,,
Anyway, I'm your mom and I can do that,
I didn't know I had a nosy mother, just one who didn't care about me,
Where did you get it?
- A friend gave it to me, - A friend?
Gianluca, okay? You know him, He was at Lorenzo's party,
I'm only keeping it until today's protest, Don't worry,
Sure, why worry?
Anna, do you hear yourself?
- Anna, give it to me! - No!
Here's what we'll do, I'll call the police and report him,
Mind your fucking business and stop being an asshole,
Want to report me too?
Anna!
- Go! - What's wrong?
Go! I told you to fucking go! Go!
Anna! Anna,,,
Adelina,
Can we talk for a minute?
- Actually, I have to go to work and then,,, - Please,
What's going on?
One for now and one for later, I love them,
Thanks, Lella!
Hello?
- Elsa,,, - I think we found it,
Hefner's magazine had another name before Playboy,
Same as another magazine, Steve translated everything,
Yes, but we need your help now, You have to talk to your cop friend,
- Why? - It's about Lorenzo,
He's involved in something bigger than him, and maybe he's in danger,
It's important, otherwise I wouldn't ask you,
POLICE
- "Fanucci, along with,,," - "Fanucci,,,"
",,,along with,,,"
Can we talk?
Anyway, maybe you were right,
About the picture,
It's possible you weren't aiming at that girl, but to someone out of frame,
Here it is,
We have a Gianluca Riva,
Age 21, fingerprinted by the Political Police,
"Considered close to Potere Operaio,"
He lives in Vico Santo Spirito 3,
- Perfect, I'll tell Tattilo, - No, wait,
He's suspected of having shot a right-wing student
during a university protest,
This guy is dangerous, He almost killed someone,
I'll go to his place,
- What should I tell Tattilo? - Not to do anything, I got it,
Be careful,
Hello?
De Cesari found the address, He lives in Vico Santo Spirito 3,
Okay, you go to court and I'll join you later,
No, De Cesari's going there, he said not to do anything,
Why?
Elsa, tell me why,
Because Gianluca allegedly crippled someone,
- I got the address, Let's go, - The trial?
- You go, I'll come later, - What do you mean?
- Come on, Elsa, - Coming,
- They're already starting, - Yeah,
- Did you bring everything? - Yes,
Present today are Playboy Enterprises, by way of its legal counsel, Faccini,
and the defendant, Tattilo Publishing,,,
- Read this, - ,,,represented by Mr, Lanza,
What's this?
- Let's hear Mr, Lanza expose his case, - Read, there's a translation inside,
Attorney, are you ready?
Yeah,
So,,,
Your Honor,
we have conducted exhaustive research on the term "play,"
Let's stop this masquerade!
No revolution, no armed fight!
NO TO VIOLENCE
It's that way,
We have an important article here, arguing that
before being called Playboy,
Hefner's magazine did indeed have a different name,
Unfortunately, it was the same as another magazine,
Hefner himself was accused of plagiarism
and had to quickly find another name,
And where did he get it, Your Honor?
From the Playboy Automobile Company in Buffalo, New York,
Finally,
So, we didn't copy anything,
since there was nothing to copy,
Freeze!
Police,
- Lorenzo! - Anna!
- Mom! - Oh my God,
Help!
- Yes! - Yeah!
- Want to go with him? - Will you call Vincenzo, please?
Lorenzo? The girl?
- They're fine, - We need to celebrate twice,
We won,
What is it? What's going on?
Aren't you happy?
Of course I am,
The thing is, De Cesari was there,
And,,,
Inspector De Cesari, How is he? I want to see him,
I'm sorry, the police ordered not to let anyone in,
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
TATTILO PUBLISHING
I'm going home, You all did a great job,
You did an even better job believing in it from the start,
Thanks,
- Shall we go home? - Yes,
Is this a party or a funeral?
I expected some music to celebrate the victory,
Anyway,,,
I took care of the champagne,
You found a handsome, fit guy,
Young, most of all,
I followed your example, Why are you here?
The lawyers told me I'm not in danger of being arrested anymore,
- You did well, You saved our magazine, - Since when is it ours?
In fact, you only have a part of the shares,
while I have the majority and I'm still the owner,
But you know what? I still prefer to say it's ours,
Yeah,
Let's make a toast,
You and I,
A law enforcement officer
was seriously injured during an anti-terrorism operation,
The officer is now hospitalized at Fatebenefratelli,
A manhunt is underway for the shooter, an already identified young student,
And now onto foreign news, New York,,,
How are you?
- Did you hear from Anna? - I called her, she's not picking up,
She was shocked when she saw what,,,
Honey, you need to sign your statement at the police station tomorrow,
It's important,
That cop might die, You have to tell them everything you know,
Wait,
Your father's in Rome,
Good, So they can lock him up, He should be the one in jail,
Actually, he's free,
He's back to stay,
I'm tired,
I don't want to argue,
I didn't come to argue,
I'm still pissed off, And disappointed,
But I realized I can't give up on you,
I tried,
But I can't,
I don't want to lose you either,
- But it's hard, - Let's leave, then,
Let's go where we don't have to hide, Let's go to America,
San Francisco?
How will we make a living?
You don't have to worry about the money,
I got that, I have some important photos that will pay well,
What photos?
They're
photos of a minister, With some boys,
If it's about politics, be careful, It could be dangerous,
Why don't you give them to me? I can try selling them,
I already found a buyer,
It's a done deal,
Only your choice is left,
TATTILO PUBLISHING
Morning,
No staff meeting today?
It's ongoing, Saro, Chartroux and Selva,
Saro only wanted them,
He said our presence was pointless,
Saro, thank you,
- Thank you, See you, - See you soon,
Hey!
- Adelina, - Good morning,
Good morning to you,
Chartroux, I'm not sure about the positioning of this photo,
What was Rossetti doing here?
Can we not discuss this in front of our staff?
All right, gentlemen, please,
- Please sit, Mrs, Tattilo, - Thanks, I'd rather stand,
Rossetti's helping me find some offices,
in Milan,
- You wanna move Playmen to Milan? - I don't want to move it,
Then what are the offices in Milan for?
I bought a magazine called Le Ore, I want to do something different with it,
Let's say,
aimed at a more transgressive target,
More for men,
That's why you came back,
The magazine and its name are safe, so you'll,,,
Sell it, Yeah,
To the highest bidder, actually, And that's thanks to your efforts,
To your efforts,
- You can't do that, - Sorry?
You can't,
- Says who? - Me,
You think what you want is worth something?
Fine, gentlemen, we're all fired,
No, Why?
You did an excellent job even though I wasn't here,
No, I want you all here,
We can still be a great family,
DECIDE - LIVE - LOVE - GO WILD - BE FREE
Like that,
Again,
- Let me see, - What will you do?
- I don't know, - Open up,
- I don't want to sell, - Okay,
Most of all, I don't want to go to Milan,
We could all move to America,
Poggi got a job offer in San Francisco,
Maybe I could do the same,
- It's a nice place, - Don't move,
It's warm, there's the sea, And fog too, right?
Okay, Turn around now,
You wouldn't be sad if I left?
Of course I would,
When we were working on the Casati issue, I asked you a question,
"Who do we want to be?"
That's what matters,
Elsa,
How is he?
I don't know, They wouldn't let me see him,
Listen, I'm sorry for what happened,
Maybe I shouldn't have,,,
No, it's not your fault, It's because of the girl,
Elsa,
Mr, Balsamo wants to see you immediately in his office,
I'll go with you,
This is your severance pay,
- What are you doing? - Firing her,
- Elsa is one of our best collaborators, - Yeah, and a spy too,
You gave information to the prosecutor,
They knew of the Kennedy photos because of you,
But I have friends in there too, Get your stuff and leave,
No, wait,
So much for being a big family,
Exactly, we will be, We're no longer married, We're separating,
Have all the affairs you want, You're free, you know?
But we can still be a successful couple at work,
And in order to do so, we can't trust people like her,
Thank you,
Elsa, right?
Elsa?
Elsa, don't worry, I'll make him come to his senses, He'll hire you back,
Just focus on your trial now,
First hearing's tomorrow, right? Just focus on that,
De Cesari will recover, you'll see,
You can't give up now,
We're still here, We'll make it, Because we're the same,
We're not the same, You have a house, a job, kids,
What about me? What do I have? Nothing anymore,
That's not true, I'll help you, I'll do anything,
You can't do anything anymore,
For anyone,
Thank you,
The kids?
Lorenzo went out, Chiara's sleeping at a friend's house,
It's nice, what you did,
How you changed
the magazine,
You did a good job,
The staff too?
That too, yeah,
Then sell me the magazine,
- Come again? - I spoke with the bank,
They're willing to fund me to buy out all of your shares,
Oh, really?
Why should I do it?
Why should you not?
Selling to me or someone else, what's the difference? Money's money,
You take it and do what you want with it,
- So I can do what I want? - Of course,
Well, if I can do what I want, then,,,
Let me think,,,
You know what?
I'm not selling,
And to you?
Dinner's over, Thank you,
- Playmen is mine, - What?
- Playmen is my magazine! - Nothing here is yours,
Not even this house, Adelina, you need to know your place,
And where would that be?
A step behind you, the great man,
You're just a poor megalomaniac
who runs away, gets young girls pregnant,
and abandons his children!
Megalomaniac?
Me, a megalomaniac? Me?
You really want to play at being a great entrepreneur?
Huh? What is it?
Think you can do things in style
just because you put a naked man on the cover?
Or because you're fucking a kid?
That's what you are,
You're a tram driver's daughter, Adelina,
You're not worth shit!
- You're not worth shit! - Stop! Leave!
I swear I'll kill you!
- Dad's calming down, - Out!
Mom,
There's no point sitting here like two mummies,
Come on, go get some rest,
I'll call you, if necessary,
Who are you?
A friend of Mom's,
Your friend's here,
He wants to know how you feel,
Should I call him?
No,
You stay here,
Yes,
So what happened to Mrs, Tattilo is true,
Yes,
Damn bastard,
Chartroux, we need to talk, You, get me a coffee, Quickly!
Listen, call that priest,
Tell him we don't want his article on the pill,
Sit,
Then,,, Look, I'd like to put these on the next issue,
I'd like to test the readers' reaction,
What do you think?
- Your wife didn't agree with it, - Well, yes, but my wife's not here,
But I agree with her,
I'm not going to publish these,
What do you want to do, Chartroux?
- I quit, - Where will you go?
Who's gonna hire you?
I'm the only one who gave you a chance when they were all kicking your ass,
You know who will hire you?
A local newspaper, to write obituaries,
So, Chartroux,
where are you going?
Where are you going, Chartroux?
Hey, What are you doing here?
Did something happen?
I just quit,
Good,
The buyer just got in touch,
I'm meeting him tomorrow at 11:00 a,m, at the Colosseum,
He's offering me 20 million, Actually,
he's offering us 20 million,
So we're going to America?
We're going to America,
Can you remember
if during your encounter
there was ejaculation?
- What kind of question is that? - Answer, I'm the one asking questions,
Miss, answer the question,
I don't remember,
The only thing I remember is that he was on top of me,
I closed my eyes and then I ran away,
So you don't know,
I would like to emphasize,
that there is no proof of ejaculation, let alone penetration,
Your Honor!
Attorney, this is not your closing argument, If you're done,,,
One last question,
Were you untainted before that day?
I mean, were you a virgin?
No,
You may step down, miss,
I request to submit as evidence Playmen magazine, year 4, issue number 2,
- The magazine has nothing to do with it, - It concerns the young lady's morality,
My client is the victim here,
Her morality has nothing to do with this case,
I object to the admission of this evidence because of irrelevance!
It's not irrelevant, It shows how my client was provoked,
The evidence is admitted, Clerk, record it,
Come back home,
What about Dad, my brothers? The people in the neighborhood?
They'll always think I asked for it,
I won't,
I'm proud of you,
You fought,
You were brave,
Even though they'll win, because they're stronger,
- No, go away, - Let me in, please,
Let me talk,
I'm sorry,
How are you?
I lost my mind, You know I'm not that man,
It's too late now, I'll report you,
Listen to me,
You and I hurt each other,
But we always started over,
- There's no "you and I" anymore, - Honey, please, Please,,,
I'll see you in court, then,
I'm asking for custody of the kids,
What are you talking about? They'll never let you have them,
That's up to the judge,
Of course, I'll tell him everything you did to me,
And that you fled abroad with a little girl,
I'll tell him you fuck a gigolo and bring him home,
Oh, and that our son walked around with a gun,
and that you didn't even notice,
He could've been killed,
Yes, I'm going to tell him,
Who knows what the judge will think of you as a mother,
Don't you dare touch my children,
There,
Focus on what you have to do in order to keep them,
Mom!
I saw Dad and I got worried,
What did he want?
He wanted to apologize,
And ask me not to report him,
What did you say?
You accepted,
You still love him,
It's absurd,
Anna asked you to do absurd things as well,
To be with her while she was with someone else,
Or help her hide a gun,
You did it, right?
The truth is,
when you love someone, and you don't want to lose them,
you do absurd things,
Your mom's crazy,
Your dad beats her up and she defends him,
It's normal, though,
Adults are all like that,
They only care about themselves,
Let's leave,
Gianluca got in touch, he's going to Paris, He asked me to go with him,
Are you insane?
We can't stay here,
- If the cop dies, we'll end up in jail, - We did nothing,
We brought him the gun, we were there with him,
They'll think we were accomplices,
Come with me, No one cares about us,
Not your mother, nor mine,
No one,
Any news about my photos? Your new job's waiting for you,
Thanks, but I'm leaving,
With your friend? Where are you going?
America,
America?
You want to build a new life?
Maybe he can,
He's young, he'll fit in with young guys like him, But you? What will you do?
Mario, Mario,,,
We belong to another world,
The revolution is not for us,
- Hi, - Hi,
How are you?
Better, yes,
I'm here to tell you that for now you'll only get to keep writing sermons,
Saro doesn't want a priest to write the article on the pill,
That's good,
I agree with him,
A priest shouldn't write about that, You should,
Me?
The pill is a woman's choice,
Women's choices are always hard,
But they're also the bravest,
Until 11,
- Where are you going, miss? - Stop!
Miss? Where are you going?
- Where are you going? - I want to see Andrea De Cesari,
That's not possible,
- I want to see him, - Who are you?
His girlfriend,
Go home, miss,
Leave her alone,
Let her through, She really is his girlfriend,
WHAT WOMEN WANT CONFESSIONS OF A GIGOLO
Lella?
Morning, ma'am,
What happened? Why are you here?
Can we talk?
Of course, Come in,
Actually, I came to apologize,
What for?
For all the times I treated you poorly and helped your husband,
You think I didn't know he was seeing Consuelo?
You called me at the office, and I made up excuses to cover for him,
At first I behaved like that because I thought it was the right thing to do,
But I was wrong and now I feel guilty,
It's not your fault,
Yes, it is,
- I'm not protecting your husband anymore, - What do you mean?
Where's your stuff?
I'm not coming,
And you shouldn't go,
It's a huge mistake,
- You'll ruin your life, - You're just a shitty coward,
Truth is, you're scared,
And you? What are you scared of?
Come on, let's go home,
She's not coming with you!
Forget these assholes! Let's go before the cops arrive!
Gianluca,,,
What the fuck did you do?
Let's go home,
I'm not going back with you, I don't want to see you anymore,
Here they are,
What's going on?
- What's going on? - Fuck!
What the fuck is going on?
- This wasn't the deal, - Forget about him, Think about yourself,
Let me go!
You were supposed to get the photos and let him go!
Get in!
Hey, stop!
- Why did you call me here? - Because it all started here,
What was it?
"If it's tails, we get married, if it's heads,,,"
"I'll jump," Yeah, So?
I would've really jumped for you,
But not anymore,
I want my life back, And I want Playmen,
If that magazine is what it is now, it's only because of me,
You'd be nothing without me,
I'll report you,
- What? - I'll report you,
You'll report me?
If you report me, what's in it for you? At best they'll dismiss everything,
No judge would sentence a husband for a domestic dispute,
I know,
I'm not reporting you for the beatings,
For what, then?
For bigamy,
When you first came back,
you married that girl at the Mexican Embassy,
You had Lella set it all up,
She told me,
You were afraid of an international arrest warrant,
There's no extradition in Mexico,
A great plan B,
Except you got married before divorcing me,
With your record, you'll end up in jail or you'll have to flee abroad,
With nothing, Without money, and most of all, without my children,
You want to throw me off? Huh?
Go on, do it, Do it,
Kill me, come on,
It'll change nothing for you,
Thank you,
- The drafts for the new issue, - Perfect,
Now I look in the mirror and I no longer try to avoid my gaze,
Because now I know who I am and who I want to be,
A free woman,
