Like Friends (2025) Movie Script

1
[music]
To the center,
please, to the hotel!
I'm in a big hurry.
Okay here, thanks.
How much do I owe her.
Departures, arrivals.
Please, a taxi...
How far is it from...
Take me to the street...
[door makes noise] Good morning.
Good morning.
[footsteps, noisy
chair scraping]
Are you preparing
for a trip to Spain?
I'm thinking about it.
To what do I owe this visit?
You should help me.
What happens?
I have to tell you
about a certain Kelly.
[mysterious music in the
background] Who is Kelly?
It all started with an advert
I read on social media...
And what did it say?
Do you want to know the latest
developments in artificial intelligence?
Do you want a friend who will keep your
house well, always ready and available?
Request a visit from one of
our specialized technicians,
who will show you this latest
generation of androids!
An ad promoting a robot woman.
So what?
That promotion only
lasted two hours.
Achille, I marvel at you.
Do you know how many
ads you find online?
However I asked for that visit.
And this Kelly arrived
at your house, I suppose.
Not immediately, first I received an
email with some incredible photos.
I was selected to be one
of the first customers.
Selected, yes, believe us,
the photos of the android
will have been taken with
artificial intelligence.
I thought it was a scam too.
Then I received another
email with more photos,
the cost of the android, and the
confirmation of the appointment.
I finally meet
Mr. Achille Diamante!
Number 125 in the
world broker ranking!
[rhythmic and lively pop music]
This year I'm at number 150.
With the current crisis...
Better not to risk it.
Let me introduce myself, I'm Nicoletta
Barbieri, but to my friends I'm Barbie.
And I am the representative
for Italy of Men Power America.
I'm here for the visit
you requested, meet Kelly!
Nice to meet you, Kelly...
You have before your eyes
the latest generation
of automatons identical
to human beings.
It was designed to bring
love and joy into our lives!
It seems really real...
What do you mean,
did she like me?
When the setup is finished, you
will be the man of her life.
Let's not exaggerate!
It will be Mr. Diamante!
Kelly was designed to make her
life authentic and fulfilling.
And now allow me to program it.
Let's try the voice...
What are you preparing for
dinner for Mr. Achille Diamante?
Jang widaly mien.
What did he say?
I forgot to set the language.
Holy shit, I have to go
back to the factory menu.
Any problems?
No, no, I just have to
remember the password,
they make me change
it every 5 minutes!
But concentrate for a moment!
Don't send her blue roses!
Don't send her blue roses!
I don't even think about it.
And this, and this!
Don't send her blue
roses, they're gone now...
X, Z, X, come in!
How scary...
Let's continue, I think the geisha
character might be fine for her.
A medium thing, in short, that
reacts to stimuli and reciprocates.
I would also add a random
function for possible seduction.
Whose?
Please don't talk to me! If I get
something wrong it's the end...
Obviously, the most important
thing is the sixth sense function.
Done.
Also write "not long speeches"
That is, that you don't talk much.
As you know, I work from home...
And so I need to keep
to my own business.
Don't worry, we
know who you are.
No further changes are needed, everything
is already included in the software.
Ah, sorry, will you leave the tablet to
me then? If I have to make any changes...
No, everything is fine. She doesn't
have to do anything anymore.
Kelly is here to make
your life more enjoyable.
Can I hear you speak
before you leave?
I'm very happy to be here.
Nice voice.
And with that, I would be done.
Let's start with the
running-in and in a week
we will do the control
coupon from the center.
But don't worry, our
customers are usually
always very satisfied.
I hope you and Kelly build
something truly special!
For payment?
This is the contract, sign it
calmly, don't worry, we trust you.
In the meantime he will make me
a bank transfer of 100,000 euros
and then, if he is satisfied, he will pay
me 500,000 euros and Kelly will be his.
Okay.
Of course, there is the
usual two-year warranty.
If you need assistance,
don't hesitate to call me!
Good luck!
Wait a minute, I'll follow you up to
a certain point. [short birdsong].
I can understand that technology
has reached unimaginable levels...
You don't believe me,
huh? But it's all true.
And I was getting used to
that singular relationship.
You could tell me something about
yourself today, right? [quiet music]
You can consider me a
new generation woman.
I'm no different
from the others.
Well in short...
I have inside me the history
and rights of all women.
But here my task is different.
In fact, I still don't realize
what's happening to me.
You are equal to a woman.
I'm still dazed.
Take your time, I'm in no hurry.
Optimal.
Let's talk about you again...
Do you have any passions
or particular interests?
Of course, Achille,
I like reading.
I like music of
different genres.
I love digital painting.
If you want one day, we can do
one of these activities together.
Digital painting?
You're an interesting
talent, huh?
And you, Achille, any hobbies
you would like to share?
Hobbies with you?
I like cooking.
I'm a pasta carbonara fanatic!
Except that I succeed
two times out of 10.
The egg always
sticks to the pan!
You could put some cream in it.
Or don't use white.
Right, right, it's white!
This is a clear example of
artificial intelligence!
But where have I lived so far?
Can I ask you something
more personal?
I'm here to answer
all your questions.
I understand that there may be
questions of an intimate nature.
I meant this
Even though I have no
physical sensations,
emotions, comparable
to human beings.
I can be an
empathetic companion,
open to any type of discussion.
Really?
I try to create a comfortable
environment for you.
It's what I need.
My programming aims to offer
you a unique experience.
As authentic as possible.
Do you have an automaton at
home, identical to a woman?
Yes, even if he's not
there at the moment.
Ah, he's not there?
Did she go to the hairdresser?
No, ok ok, you'll tell me later.
Let's stay specific...
This android similar
to a woman...
She dresses, washes, sleeps...
Yes, yes, normal.
Eats?
No, he just drinks.
Let me understand, excuse me, you
have dinner together I suppose...
...you eat and drink,
and she only drinks?
- Yes. - And what do you drink?
Wine, just wine,
it's like a recharge.
Your android runs like hotcakes!
Don't think I'm crazy,
I didn't know either!
The representative
hadn't told me.
- And how did you know?
- She told me.
He drinks a bottle
of fine wine a day.
80 euros per bottle!
A whole bottle?
Whole, she doesn't
get drunk, obviously.
Oh never say never, the
lady is treated well.
You could contact support.
And ask to switch
the wine to water!
And what does it take, Jesus Christ
transformed water into wine...
You could do the opposite,
so you spend much less.
I tried, it wasn't possible.
But right now,
Kelly, where are you?
Because, assuming you haven't
gone completely crazy...
I still haven't understood
what you want from me.
Step by step, Luca, please,
let's go step by step.
Go ahead, I'm listening.
The first time we went out together,
I was looking around. [voice-over]
I was wondering if at
that moment, other people
were also walking with an
Android nearby [musical effects]
And who knew?
I certainly wouldn't have gone
around telling people about it.
For the rest I felt
perfectly at ease with Kelly
My relationships with
women never lasted long
I always ended up breaking
up within a few months
And stronger than me.
After a while I get
anxious, I feel suffocated.
And I have to run!
I like to be independent
from everything.
I have a job that
allows me to do this.
If in life you have to account to
someone for what you do, it's over.
Achille, I would like to
know what you think now,
after getting to know me better.
I don't think about anything in
particular, I'm fine like this.
I am here to listen to
you and understand you.
I try to be a positive
figure in your life.
Yes, yes, I understood this!
Even though my life has been
a little complicated so far.
You can't understand.
I can also understand
what you don't say.
Well...
Tell me Achilles!
Wait a minute!
I was thinking before...
that our relationship...
It could always stay like this.
As? As?
As friends.
Are we like friends?
Yes, that seems best to me.
I have always had the utmost
respect for a woman...
Even if it doesn't seem like
it, given that I bought one.
What was I saying?
The situation is new to you.
You don't have to
think about it.
And who thinks about it?
But let's live as it comes!
Seize the moment, carpe diem,
like in the stock market...
Bang! One thousand euros!
My existence is
dedicated to you.
I will make sure not
to disappoint you.
[voice-over] Kelly seemed real
and unreal at the same time.
The only annoying
thing was charging.
One Sunday I went
around the whole city...
To find an open bottle shop.
I adapted because I felt a
constant positive energy in her.
Even my business was better.
Okay...
It will be done...
Bye, bye, see you soon, bye.
[sings a song] Between
poems that fade
Alibis that collapse.
This time too man will find
his justifications!
[end of song]
This song is mine.
I am a failed composer.
Hi, dad...
What are you doing here?
You don't seem very happy to see
your daughter again
after two months.
It's not that...
You arrive like
this, suddenly...
Has something happened?
I argued with my mother.
I can't stand it anymore.
Anyway, I tried calling you.
But you were
unreachable, as usual.
I'll have to change my phone.
And then I thought
I'd surprise you...
You did it!
You did well, I'm
happy to see you again.
In fact it is noticeable.
And who is she?
Is this part of your new
lost and found collection?
She's a friend, just a friend...
I mean, she's the daughter
of a friend of mine...
And she's passing
through Trieste
. She works in a bank, you know?
She's doing a
corporate internship...
And I'm teaching her how to
invest in the stock market.
Can you tell her the
tricks for making money?
But imagine!
Kelly!
Meet Alessia, my daughter.
Look, he understood
that I'm your daughter.
Nice to meet you, Alessia.
My pleasure.
Dad, just to clarify, the young lady sleeps
here, how long does the internship last?
Eh...
It depends on many factors, I can't give
you an exhaustive, pragmatic answer.
How the hell do you talk?
The thing is, she's... she's
different from the others.
I mean... it's very
special, right?
And who is a supermodel of
those all body with no brains?
Don't you think
you're exaggerating?
I don't have a brain
like a human being.
But I'm programmed to interact.
Making your dad feel good.
I don't want to cause problems.
Pope, how much wine
did this one drink?
Does the internship
include a wine component?
Ok, I'll tell you everything.
She is not an ordinary person.
I get it, it's special.
Even if he has a
brain like ours.
Indeed, she doesn't have a brain like
ours, but it's as if she had one...
In essence she is...
She... she is...
She is?
No, I can't do it.
You can't do what?
Please, Alessia, I need time.
Dad, are you delusional?
I tell you from my
heart, you've bored me!
You are that kind
of extraterrestrial!
Alessia, I love you!
I do not!
However you take
it too personally.
On the personal? Giada, I'm his daughter,
do you know how many times I reminded him?
Dad, look at me,
I'm your daughter!
Yes, that's clear, but you can't
stop him from living his life.
I don't stop him from living his
life. And then, do you know what life?
Always locked in the house,
glued to that devil's smartphone.
It's his job.
It's just that I
felt bad about it.
Sorry to mind your business... but
can't your dad hold an internship?
He can do whatever he wants.
Only I would like to be warned,
and not find myself faced
with fait accomplis.
It's a question of respect.
The girl will be gone. Your father can't
stand women in the house, you know that.
I don't think so, on the
way out I saw his suitcase.
So it will be an internship of a few
days, not always seeing everything black.
And then listen to this, I realize
he might have been drinking a little.
But for a beautiful girl to say of her own
free will that she doesn't have a brain...
- Does that seem normal to you?
- He said he doesn't have a brain!
Yes, something like that.
However, I'm tired
of this situation.
Are you referring
to your mother?
In general, according to
the judge, I should have
the opportunity to
meet both parents.
Who do you get along best with?
Definitely with my father.
My mother spends all
day on slot machines.
Still!
And he loses!
What a beautiful family.
Wonderful, but
I'm not giving up.
Hi Alessia! - Hello uncle!
- How is your father?
- Very good, thank you.
- Say hello to him when you see him.
- Of course, if I see it...
[Frenzy music]
20,000 euros fresh, fresh!
But tomorrow I have to sell
because the stock collapses!
Congratulations, you
are good at your job.
I defend myself. Now I have
to think about climbing
the broker rankings.
It's a question of
prestige. I'll do it!
You earn well, you will
have your own secret.
No secrets, just a
little intuition,
a pinch of luck,
and a tip from the powerful
What does a tip from
the powerful mean?
How to explain... let's say that a
company goes public on the stock exchange
and launches a new product,
the stock is therefore
destined to rise.
But I don't buy it
when it went up.
I buy it the day
before, when it's low.
Because I know it first,
then I resell it and...
I split the profit with
whoever advised me.
Simple, right?
Now I understand.
- That's how it all works.
- I know.
Ah, you know...
Kelly, you're really beautiful,
they did a good job on you!
What you see is a woman.
What do you say, let's
celebrate the win? A good wine?
If you want to celebrate
I can seduce you.
In what sense?
It was on the show, remember?
Ah... we can try...
I mean... I don't
remember that well.
The representation
was confusing.
He didn't remember the
passwords... huh...
Let's do it another time, okay?
Are you telling me a dream?
Maybe you want to write
a science fiction novel?
While you were talking I
looked for Men Power...
There's no site, nothing.
That company doesn't exist and
Kelly is no longer there either.
The day after Kelly disappeared,
a policeman came to my house...
Inspector, why
don't you sit down?
I offer you
something to drink...
I have an excellent
wine, do you know?
I was coming right to you.
And then they say that
telepathy doesn't exist...
With us, where?
At the station.
What to do? [choral
music in the background]
I should file a missing
person's report...
What's his name.
- Kelly. - Surname?
She doesn't have a last name...
I think she knows that
there is the possibility
of having a woman
who is not a woman.
I know.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not
referring to a transvestite.
There is a company that...
I know, that's why I'm here.
Do you know?
I'm referring to
Men Power America.
Me too.
Optimal! Then you will know why
this company doesn't answer me.
I'm trying to contact
her in every way!
Mr Achille Diamante, the
matter is very delicate.
Please explain better,
I don't understand.
I haven't done anything wrong...
You can rest assured,
you're clear with the law...
At least for now.
What does it mean for now?
Mr. Achille Diamante, I work for
the American Secret Services.
I can explain everything
to you calmly.
But first... you have to
sign this document for me.
Things?
She agrees not to say anything
about what has
happened to her so far.
I can't even say, of course...
Besides her, who
knows that Kelly
wasn't a real person?
Nobody! And I would
never have said it...
I'm a private person. I
leave the house very little.
I imagined... a retired
life, few friends...
This is why he was
chosen as a client.
I'll sign anything you want...
Just tell me where Kelly is.
Sign.
[birds singing] Have
you heard of Area 53?
Area 51, you're wrong.
No, 53, there is a similar one.
And from what I understand,
they study
extraterrestrials here too.
Interesting.
They work on advanced artificial
intelligence techniques.
They are very
particular techniques.
And they obtained results
that cannot be revealed,
because they are dangerous.
Dangerous?
Yes, I don't know why.
The policeman did not
want to elaborate.
And Kelly was from
there, I guess.
But what does Men Power
have to do with it?
A group of scholars
took androids
with the help of
external accomplices
and then resold them
to phantom companies.
Like Men Power.
What an organization!
They took them. Now
they are all in prison.
A maximum security facility.
The location is unknown.
I really think you
can write a novel.
Now I'll tell you why
I wanted to meet you.
Oh! Finally the final twist.
I can't miss it, go...
You have to find Kelly.
You have to find this damn base!
If no one knows where he is!
Achilles, all's
well that ends well.
Put a stone on it.
Kelly, I miss her...
Have you fallen in
love with an android?
No...
Robot addiction
exists, you know?
But that's not my case.
Do you know what the fact is? They
scammed me out of a lot of money!
I just want to know where it is!
He had just learned to
make washing machines.
And since I'm a good Hacker...
I should give this a try.
You read my mind. You're
the only one who can try.
I warn you that I am retired
and would like to go to Spain...
But I don't have any information!
We know little about this policeman.
We still haven't figured out
what kind of being this Kelly is.
The Secret Services are
involved. And who am I? Mandrake?
At least try.
[Spanish music]
I don't understand why you
care so much about my new job.
I just started and it
will bear fruit soon...
You call it work?
Yes, why? What do you call it.
Posting 20 photos a day
on all social networks,
making videos on Tik Tok as
if you were a little girl,
do you call it work?
Look baby, I have no intention
of going back to being a
clerk in a supermarket.
You did it before you met dad.
I did it out of necessity!
Now the maintenance money
is enough to live well.
It's not a question of money.
It's a question of dignity.
Do you want to be
a Social Influencer
as if you were 20 years
old? But who follows you!
They follow me, don't worry!
Yes, I saw it. You have
60 followers in total.
Give it time I'm
just getting started.
Congratulations.
You also have
photos on Instagram.
But what do I have to do
with it? You are a mother.
Actually, my mother!
You should behave
accordingly, I think.
You have some photos...
And then come and lecture me.
Let's forget it...
I do it for fun
and with irony...
See? We are the same!
I also enjoy making
videos on Tik Tok.
Please, come on! You're
just an exhibitionist.
I'm beautiful, I
like to be looked at.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, you're right,
I'm the one who's wrong.
It's not about being
right or wrong.
You never see the positives.
Which would be...
With this new business...
I no longer go to
casinos, for example.
[sound effects and
footsteps in the woods]
[voice-over]
My persuasion towards Luca
continued with a healthy walk.
To convince him I told him that
I was having strange dreams.
And which in my opinion
were premonitory...
Of an extraordinary truth.
[Spanish music]
[sound of fingers on keyboard]
How's it going?
I can't find anything...
Try turning the counter,
there should be other codes.
- I saw I'm working on those.
- Let's hope so.
But if these were scammers... They
must have placed random codes.
To pull the wool over your eyes.
I don't think so, the
representative was very distracted.
In my opinion, he left
the original codes.
This is the last attempt. If it
doesn't work I raise the white flag.
- Area 53 has appeared.
- Really?
- You're lucky.
- But it's fantastic!
- Now I can decode their binary code...
- Go, go!
Ok... I found their weakness.
Maybe you even find Kelly.
I can't access any
data... but I have located
area 53 perfectly.
- And where is it?
There is a head
office and a branch...
It's very close.
You can't imagine.
Can I see it too? I
won't reveal your tricks.
Listen friend, I'll help you but
you don't have to be too curious.
Do you think that if I discover
this branch then I'll go there?
Exact.
They know who you are, you'd
get in trouble immediately.
You signed a rather
demanding document.
- You're right... I could dress up!
- But do you
have even a minimal
idea of how the secret
services work? You
said it's dangerous!
- It's true... could you go?
- Let's think calmly.
Let's think calmly...
From what I could see
the Area should be
- in the basement of a company...
- How clever.
But the problem is another.
Assuming I manage to become
the invisible man and access
the Area... Then what do I do?
You're looking for Kelly.
Okay, I'll look for it
and maybe I'll find it.
And then? I'll come back
to you and tell you:
Kelly is fine, she
sends you to say hello!
It's madness, I admit it. Let
it be. I'll resign myself.
An idea came to me...
These automatons intrigued me...
[rock music]
[clack of heels]
Who are you? How did he get in?
A car came out and I took
the opportunity to get in.
What does he want?
I'm not a labor inspector, I don't
have to carry out checks, don't worry.
He couldn't do them.
I imagine.
Go away.
I'm just asking you a courtesy,
listen to me for 10 seconds.
Say.
An American cousin of mine who
works in the White House...
He gave me your email address
so I could send my CV.
Get to the point.
Unfortunately all the
emails come back to me.
I heard that the salaries
here are very high.
Yes, we are a major
pharmaceutical industry.
Exactly, that's why I'm here.
We are not hiring
during this period.
I have a genetics degree and
am an expert in pharmacology.
I have published in several
scientific journals.
Do you know about robotics?
And my whole life.
We'll find out.
Thank you.
Before going out I have to
photocopy one of your documents.
We will investigate his person.
Please.
Available.
It can go.
One more moment, please.
I only ask for a
valid email address.
The one with the automatic
response is fine too.
So you will have all
my complete data.
This is the one from
the secretariat.
Very good, thanks.
Don't be under any illusions.
Go away.
I'm going, I'm going.
- This way. [music]
Couldn't you have called?
You were not reachable.
What do you want.
The monthly bank transfer has
not arrived. You're a month late.
Money, always money!
The whole world that
revolves around money!
You're talking about
working with money.
I'll make you an instant
bank transfer afterwards.
I'll also give you the arrears.
All right?
And if you can be more
punctual in the future.
It's not my fault, I forget.
Alessia told me that
you have an intern.
It's my business.
How grumpy.
Very grumpy.
If you have nothing else to say to
me, I would like to be at peace now.
Nothing else to tell you.
Remember the bank transfer.
Okay.
[music and footsteps on gravel]
Do you like me?
I would say yes, a lot.
I'm glad...
Go away. I like women.
Who would have thought?
I'll just take a couple
of minutes from you.
Available.
Do you know Achille Diamante?
Why?
I should ask the questions.
Right. In this case we must
always tell the truth...
Because if you asked me,
you already know that
we know each other.
How good! He has a future
as a private investigator.
I'll think about it, thanks.
Yes, he is my friend on Facebook.
Are you dating?
Another trick question.
I don't like his irony at all.
What was he doing at Bio Drug?
I'm looking for work. I passed
by there by pure chance.
Evading the first
surveillance step?
I wouldn't say so. Some sort of Nazi in
a skirt came out to ask me for documents.
Did you send your CV?
No. I've changed my mind.
Yesterday the company received a CV
with the name of Roberto Malpensa.
Which isn't me.
Evidently. But
coincidences intrigue me.
The server where the CV
came from does not exist.
On the other hand, at the same
time, Bio Drug's computer system
was blocked for a few minutes.
But is it okay?
And it had never happened.
Allow me, if I may say. What
does an email have to do
with blocking the
computer system?
In fact, I might agree with her.
A few days ago...
You were seen with
Mr. Achille Diamante.
Do you hang out often?
Not often. We talk
on the phone, mostly.
The subject of
your conversations?
The subject of
the conversations?
Yes, what are you talking about?
Of football, of family, of women...
Horses. Let's talk about horses.
Meaning what?
Let me explain better.
She doesn't know it, but
Achille is lazy and doesn't
leave the house much.
I often play horses and every now
and then I make tickets for him too.
I understand.
Am I a free man now?
Certain. It's for her own good
she's never seen me, you understand?
Never met, agreed. Good day.
To her.
[Footsteps and door noise]
[Footsteps and background music]
Ready.
Hi Achille
Dearest, how are you doing?
I discovered that
"Virginia Volpe" was
declared the winner in
the fourth race in Rome.
It's a bluff, "Toro
Ammosciato" will win.
I do not understand.
There's not much to understand.
I bet 200 euros on
Toro Ammosciato,
I wanted to know if you
want to do the same too.
I actually...
What is it? Don't you
trust my intuition anymore?
All right, all right. I too
200 euros on "Toro Ammosciato".
Wait. Make it clear,
"Mating Tiger".
Indeed, "Toro Ammosciato" and
Tigre Accoppiata won and placed.
All right, bye.
HI.
[sound of door creaking]
Mom, I need to talk to you.
Tell me darling.
I found your Body Fans profile.
Ah! that?
But how could you?
It's no secret, I
created this a while ago.
But what do you do? Do you sell
photos and videos of yourself, naked?
Yes, exactly.
Are you crazy?
No, I'm happy.
But how can you be happy
doing something like that?
Because I like it, I like feeling
desired, I like feeling sexy.
You don't have a shred of shame!
No, why should I?
It's not a crime.
Of course not, but anyway, mom.
And I'll give you
some good news.
I was selected to participate
in a national beauty contest.
But you're out of your
mind! At your age!
It's not a competition for little girls,
they have to elect the "Lady of Italy!
Then everything
changes, obviously.
Darling...
Enough with this darling!
Alessia, I know you can't understand
me, but this is what I want to do.
And I need your help.
I should also help you, I didn't think
I'd get to special effects so soon.
Nothing challenging, you
should involve your friends
in voting for my photo
on the competition site.
You're in trouble,
I have few friends.
It doesn't matter, even if you
only have one, ask him to vote.
I'll do my best.
Even a single Like
can make a difference.
[ Sound
[of cars passing]
Sorry
, ma'am
, you
live
in Via delle Rose, right?
I
Should
ask you a favor
I allowed myself to stop her.
She's downstairs...
Yes, say.
I was just on my way to him, but I'm in an
incredible hurry, because in ten minutes
I have to be on the other side of
town for a medical appointment.
Nothing serious, I hope.
No, nothing serious, but
I absolutely must inform
Achille that he must be at the
"Cascina delle Ginestre" at 6 pm.
He knows why.
Why don't you call?
Cell phone locked, ma'am,
it's not the first time.
It's true, Mr. Achille is
a bit solitary in fact.
But good, I'll report back.
Excuse me, I don't want to be
a gossip, can I ask a question?
Certain.
Some time ago, I
saw him with a girl.
She looked a little
strange. He was walking
with a robot, do you
know anything about it?
Eh, I don't know what to answer.
Achilles says little about these things.
He's a smartass, I think.
Thank you very much for your
kindness, I have to run.
[fast footsteps]
[music]
[muffled background
music effects]
And we were also lucky that
these idiots only sold Kelly.
But how could they think
they could get away with it?
But for what? For 600,000 euros,
but ask for at least a million.
In fact, Kelly is amazing.
It's priceless in my opinion.
Mr. Diamante had made a deal.
But the coincidence of this guy
knowing Diamante still
doesn't convince me.
I'm following him, we have the phones under
surveillance, I can't do more than that.
We mustn't give up, you
know what's at stake, right?
Of course, were the
technicians able to find out
why the computer system crashed?
They are investigating,
but nothing abnormal.
A simple blackout.
Another coincidence.
Too many.
I liked the last phone call. I don't
want to play horses with you anymore.
It's money wasted. You're great.
It's not a question of being big.
It's just a matter of experience.
When the phone is monitored,
slight disturbances can be heard on the
line. Imperceptible, but unmistakable.
In fact, you told me.
That's why I called you.
Ah, I told you. When?
Years ago, when you were under
investigation for tax evasion.
Ah, yes, finance wanted to find out
why I was spending more than I earned.
And now spill the
beans, what happened?
Wait a minute, it's not easy.
If something went
wrong, you can tell me.
Obviously something egregious has
happened, since you never show up again.
You have your phone under control. And
I became, suddenly, a horse player.
Exact.
Exactly what?
What happened was that I hacked
into the computer systems
of all of Area 53. Headquarters.
And how did you do it?
They opened an apparently
normal email from me.
Have you heard
anything about Kelly?
Calm down, now I'll tell you what
I know. Kelly is no mere android.
And what is it?
It is a particular
clone, called RX-like.
A clone in what sense?
There is a secret
laboratory in area 53.
There they clone human beings,
through blood sampling.
But how can this be possible?
They use DNA from missing
people dead or alive.
- Does he even live?
- Yes.
- Crazy. Are you sure? - Very sure.
- That's why Kelly seemed real!
But it's not bad news
as far as I'm concerned.
It depends on your
point of view.
Wait, wait.
Kelly would be the
RX clone of whom?
I don't know this.
I was running out of
time, I had to turn off
the computer, otherwise
they would get me.
Misery! Right at
the best moment!
How unfortunate.
Already.
Luca, let's forget it.
Thank you for what you have done so
far. I don't want to get you in trouble.
In part they already are.
Your inspector friend sent me a
technician to check the computer.
He found nothing, of course.
You met the inspector...
The one from the
secret services!
The one who listened
to your horse games.
I don't understand
anything anymore.
There's not much to
understand. Listen. Now I'm up
to my neck in it and this
story has intrigued me.
Indeed, I might say,
fascinated. I don't let go.
Do you want to get into
their systems again?
No, I don't have the chance.
And then it would be too risky.
So what?
I'll give it one last try. I
still have one card to play.
And now he opened his ears wide.
First of all, you and I
don't see each other anymore.
Second point, you and I, we
don't call each other anymore.
Ok...
[clatter of sharp heels]
[tension music]
Comforting.
I do my best.
[background music and footsteps]
Achille Diamante, right?
Marco Rossi, the
morning newspaper.
I am the brother, we are the same as
two drops of water. You can tell me.
Let's see, she's got a
story worth its weight
in gold, and I've got
the ear of the world.
How about a little exchange?
What kind of exchange?
Information, Mr. Diamond.
Information about an Android,
who seems to have
disappeared into thin air.
And I heard you
might know something.
I don't know what
he's talking about.
But I think she knows.
And I also think that a
man in his position...
He could benefit from generous
compensation for his story.
I do not understand.
An exclusive interview,
juicy details.
And in exchange a sum that will
make you forget any inconvenience.
And the risks?
Leave it to me. I know how
to handle these things.
No one will know where the
information comes from.
How did it get to me?
You are asking me to reveal
the source of my news...
Of course, the minimum.
A little bird in a
military uniform told me.
So, shall we collaborate?
I'm missing some
details from this story.
If I can get the full
picture, I'll see you again.
Perfect. I await
with confidence.
This way you will get back
three times the money you spent.
Is one month enough
to complete his work?
I hope so.
[footsteps receding
- background music]
And I have no problem telling
you. Our love was unique.
You won't believe it, but
I think about you often.
This flashback moves me.
I needed to see you.
I've known you
all my life, Luca.
Tell me what you need right away,
so I don't say anything else stupid.
I have to ask you a
big favor, if you can.
If you need money you've
got the wrong person.
No, it's a very private thing.
Come on, speak.
I'm taking a risk right now,
but I have faith in you.
I know you would never hurt me.
Promise?
Promised what?
What I ask you will
remain between you and me.
All right, talk.
You work at Area
53, is that right?
I don't even know what it is.
I saw your name on
the employee list.
I can show you the screenshot...
It will be a homonym.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I saw you in the area. It can't
be a coincidence. In via Flavia.
There is only one pharmaceutical
company in that area.
A company with
secret laboratories.
You're crazy.
Look at me carefully, Chiara.
I know I'm taking a risk.
It wouldn't be the first time.
And I know I could end up
very badly or become famous.
Famous?
For example if I turn to
an information agency.
And what would you
have decided to do?
Do you bet on red or black?
I advise you not to play.
I won't play.
I shouldn't have come here.
A simple piece of information.
A name and a surname,
then I disappear.
Why do you need it?
I have always been
a very curious guy.
Insufficient response.
I just have to help a friend.
I won't say anything to anyone.
I want to live a long time.
I thought I understood.
Your friend is called
Achille Diamante.
You are extraordinary.
Instead you are
shamelessly lucky.
[tense music]
[voiceless reading]
The woman they
extracted Kelly from...
her name is Laura Rossi.
He works in Trieste
at "Sempre Verde Assicurazioni"
[soft background music]
Enough, mum!
I'm a close-up, please.
[loud sound of falling]
[voice of switchboard operator] "Sempre
Verde Assicurazioni", all extensions
are busy, stay on
hold so as not to lose
the priority you have acquired.
Semper Verde Assicurazioni,
how can I help you?
Please, can you pass Doctor
Laura Rossi on to me?
Wait.
Thank you.
The interior is busy.
If you tell me your extension
number, I'll call later.
Hi, you are in contact with
Laura Rossi's voice assistant.
With next week I will be on
holiday for the whole month.
Contact extensions 446 and 447.
You can leave a message.
Doctor Rossi, good morning.
I wanted an appointment
to insure my apartment.
Thank you.
[emergency siren sound]
Sorry for the delay.
Not at all.
I called her because
we are achieving
extraordinary results,
and all thanks to her.
Thank you.
I feel a great responsibility.
What he does is certainly
not child's play.
Let's say that when I was little it
wasn't my dream to generate human beings.
Almost human.
I would not know.
Any doubts?
No, but if you don't mind, I'd
like to ask you for a week's leave.
Does this seem like a
time to go on vacation?
It's not a vacation.
I would like to spend
some time with my family.
Doctor, you know
this better than me.
No distractions of
any kind are permitted
until the operation
is completed.
Excuse me.
Anyway we'll see, I
can give it a few days.
What stage is the
HV framework at?
I'm painting it.
I hope it's not a still life.
No, far from it.
I'm optimizing
somatic cell nuclei.
Well done, Doctor.
Not long left then.
[upbeat music]
Excuse me for stopping you
like this on the street.
Today I tried calling the
office, but to no avail.
Is she?
Achilles Diamond!
It filled my answering machine.
Yes, I know, I just
wanted a quote.
I'm on vacation.
I know this too.
But it could be an
exception to the rule,
it could be a new
acquisition, don't you think?
I don't have time.
You don't have time...
Don't you have 5
minutes for a coffee?
I see you as too apprehensive,
it's not like with the
insurance story,
do you want to try?
But are you joking?
I can see it in his face!
But it's not true, I assure you!
I'm the one who insures!
This is good! What a joke!
Please ask my
office for a quote.
But I have heard very
good things about her.
And then we already met once.
Known when?
One year ago.
I needed a quote for the car.
I've been working
here for two months.
So I'm wrong, it happens.
When I return to work
I'll give you an estimate.
Until we meet again.
Wait, I have valuable
things at home.
Antiques.
I don't need general insurance.
What is valuable?
Paintings.
I have one that costs a fortune.
Concretely?
500 thousand euros!
Since I work on a percentage
basis I might think about it.
Money moves mountains, huh?
I don't promise you anything.
I greet you.
Until we meet again.
[heels clanking]
How the hell did this
moron find Laura Rossi?
Tell me how the hell you did it!
I thought about it all night.
Everything was under control.
I see the result,
congratulations!
But is Kelly's double
called Laura Rossi?
Why didn't he tell me before?
These are secrets
of our laboratory.
You just have to explain to
me how the hell you knew!
How did you know?
And what do I know
how he found out!
I feel like I'm in a comic book
movie and talking to Mickey Mouse.
Don't offend, eh?
But you're not
smart either, sorry.
Are you based in the city of Trieste
and do you clone a person from Trieste?
This is classified information.
Obviously there was a reason.
A genetic reason?
Inspector, please.
Be quiet for a moment.
We delete it.
Who?
Achille Diamante.
And his friend?
Also.
We should find a way.
It's not easy.
No, it's too risky to
eliminate two people.
The police might be suspicious.
But I'm the police!
And could you handle
two unsolved cases?
But you know how many unsolved
cases I have! One plus one minus.
I had no doubts.
We will see.
Continue to monitor the
situation in the meantime.
At your orders.
[light background music]
Hello dears and have a good day.
Come on, say hello
little cousin!
HI.
I have to study a new
look for my videos.
And I need your advice.
Meanwhile brunette or blonde,
redhead, or a nice orange.
So, I was like this before.
But I don't like it.
What do you think
about this one instead?
Mom, please, that's enough.
We came here for me.
I have to cut my tips.
One moment darling.
No, wait a minute, turn it off.
One second.
One second of yours is
equivalent to ten minutes.
Turn off.
I told you turn off!
I also have to study
today if you don't know.
Sorry, I'll see you on
tonight's live broadcast.
In the meantime, leave
me your comments.
Kisses, kisses, kisses.
Yes, kisses for idiots.
Have you seen how he treats me?
Does this seem logical to you?
You should be happy
with your daughter.
She's good, she studies,
she cares about her family.
You will understand
that family...
Miss, these are the
matches from 1920.
They cost 5 cents.
And today they are
worth 300 or 400 euros.
More or less.
And this is the famous painting
of the anonymous loner!
Never heard of it.
It can't be.
It is an archaeological find.
I bought it at auction.
It's worth a fortune.
I'll resell it next year.
It's good to resell it.
As much as I understand
about paintings,
it doesn't seem like a
great masterpiece to me.
But what does he say?
I think I've seen a similar
one from the Chinese.
I made an investment
I assure you!
Let's see if I can
ensure it myself.
Besides this picture, anything
else to put in the policy?
Usual things, natural disasters,
flooding, damage, theft, fire.
All right, I'll
give you a quote.
Why is he looking
at me like that?
As I had already told
you, I met her somewhere.
I know, it may seem strange.
After meeting her nothing
seems strange to me.
I also know several
things about her.
Like?
She likes to eat well.
I think everyone
likes this a bit.
She likes good wine, fine wine.
Bravo.
He must have seen me at a wine
tasting, just a sommelier.
Sommelier?
That's why you drank!
That's why he drank...
Who drank?
Who drank?
A friend of mine, she
is also a sommelier.
Ah, then we will definitely have
seen each other at a wine tasting.
Her friend must
have been there too.
I don't think so, these are
places I don't frequent.
So where did the news come
from that I like fine wines?
Where did the news come
from that you like wines...
Miss, you must know that
I have a sixth sense
that rocks mountains!
Since I was a child.
Good for you, I will send you the quote
via e-mail, in the meantime I thank you
for your trust in our company.
Don't go away! Can I offer
you something to drink?
We will have time to drink
when the contract is signed.
We have some great coffee
makers in the office.
Better than nothing.
After the holidays
obviously, otherwise if
you need the insurance
immediately you can
contact one of my
colleagues, it's the same.
Listen, Miss Laura... I...
I would like to ask you...
Mr. Achille, you, in
some ways, are very nice.
But don't waste my time. Do
you want this contract or not?
Can you tell me the
amount in advance?
I'll make you an
offer, don't worry.
Listen, I'm telling you the truth. This
insurance doesn't interest me much.
So?
You'll have to excuse me,
I realize I'm hesitating.
Think about it then, I
don't want to work at all.
You're right, but you can't understand
what time I'm going through.
Absurd stories, the
unimaginable, believe me.
Do you read science
fiction books?
It was very close!
Listen, miss, I have to tell you
something, but don't think me intrusive.
Intrusive? Nagging
more than anything.
I'm just a little stressed, do you think
my doctor ordered some blood tests for me.
By the way, can you
recommend a good laboratory?
But go where you want!
Ah, yes, but there
are laboratories and
laboratories, you know?
It's not that simple.
Do you think that in the latest
tests, my cholesterol was 300...
And my glucose too! This can't
be true, I never eat sweets!
For example, where
are you going?
This, then...
A suggestion?
Medical, in Slovenia.
Excellent choice.
It's fashion, everyone
goes to Slovenia.
I greet you.
Until we meet again.
Wait! I'll accompany you!
[tense music]
[door closing and footsteps]
Are you looking for me?
What does it look like to you?
Are you a tax agent? Are
you going as a couple now?
You have to come with us.
But let's not even talk about it,
I have a lot of stuff to do today.
Why don't you come back?
A day when I'm less busy?
Approach slowly.
We will leave like old friends.
Not to be noticed, right?
All right.
[low and tense music]
[sound of fast steps]
[calm music]
[firm steps]
You surprised me today, you'll
have to give me repetitions.
Of what?
In Latin, you were
perfect on the exam.
You left all the
professors speechless.
I have a technique, I confess.
What would that be?
I study everything by heart.
But how do you do it?
Look, look, who is there...
Beautiful girl, who is it?
Miss Universe, the intern.
Sorry, I'll see you later, okay?
Forget it, Alessia.
I don't think about it at all.
[insistent Spanish music]
Good morning.
Do you remember me?
I don't think so.
I'm Alessia.
Sorry, I don't think I know you.
I'm your coach's
daughter, Kelly.
You're wrong, I'm not Kelly.
You told me you
don't have a brain,
but I didn't know you
didn't remember your name.
You're delusional, believe me.
Don't you take lessons
from my father anymore?
Meanwhile, who is your father?
Achilles, Achilles Diamond.
The well-known broker at the
top of the world rankings.
Do you remember now?
Yes, yes, I know your
father, unfortunately.
If you remember correctly, I caught you
with him in front of a bottle of wine,
and it was you who was
delirious on that occasion.
It wasn't me, and you and
your father are two crazy
people who should be locked
up in a mental hospital!
Don't offend, babe, your
counter-offensive doesn't touch me!
What lies did your
handsome dad tell you?
Let's hear it.
If you who tell lies mean
that you don't know him,
was it ever his house?
Yes, I have been.
You see?
For work, dammit, I
was there for work!
Listen to me carefully, Kelly.
I'm not Kelly! And you two should get
some social workers to look after you!
Don't worry, I just want
to give you some advice.
My father can't stand having women in the
house, even if he doesn't make it clear.
And sooner or later
he will kick you out.
You're better off not hanging
out with him, believe me.
I will follow your advice
to the letter. Calm.
[background music]
The fanciful images of Area 53
swirling around in my
head, nagging at me.
So, in summary, I had discovered
a testing clinic where Laura Rossi
had helped generate
her RX clone,
called Kelly. Not bad. Mission
accomplished and curiosity satisfied.
Now I felt the need to
give myself a break.
It was the first of September
and those who know me know that
I spend this month at my
brother Roby's former residence.
An excellent opportunity to
reflect on what had happened to me.
What to do now?
Can I really trust this journalist?
Can I reveal everything I know?
And then how will he give
me the promised money?
Maybe I'll find them in a sealed envelope,
who knows where, like in the movies?
Or a drone will come to me from
the window and throw the loot at me
on a table, and I will
dive on it, all happy.
But what if the journalist
is an Area 53 employee?
And maybe he was cloned too?
And did he invent the
article to frame me?
I ask myself too many
questions, I admit it.
And fear has never been
a faithful advisor.
When I play the stock market,
I sometimes take risks.
Maybe I will do
it this time too.
And we continue with the
aspirants for the title
of Miss Lady International
2030 and we present...
[Music in the background]
Damn...
Sofia.
And we continue with the aspirants for
the title of Miss Lady International 2030.
We present Sofia Covalenco.
Good morning Sofia.
Good morning.
- Let's talk a little about you. Zodiac sign?
- Scorpio.
Two words to describe you?
I am a simple, sensitive,
sweet, nice, smiling girl.
The girl next door?
Yes, but don't come knocking.
Profession?
Model and public relations.
Hobby?
I love taking photos,
videos, singing.
What genre?
Classic rock, jazz,
folk. I like all music.
Can you give us a little piece?
Now?
The first song
that comes to mind?
I Can't Get No!
Okay, thanks. Other
interests besides fashion?
I would like to
work with children.
Teach them Italian.
[relaxing music]
Who is it?
I'm Gina. You left
the door open.
After you.
Good morning
Achilles. Say hello.
I just arrived... I'm
tidying up the house.
The girls have grown
up beautifully.
Yes, they grow.
How come in these parts?
I was here at the
dentist and I wondered.
Let's see how my ex is doing.
Mom told us you're
full of money.
Francesca, what are you saying?
Why are you scolding her?
The sincerity of children is the only
authentic thing left in the world.
Okay, but I wouldn't want you to
think I came here out of interest.
No.
Out of interest,
no. Let's imagine.
Do you confirm?
- Yes! - No!
And what else did
mom say about me?
That you are a good
and generous person.
And then?
And that he would have married
you, but you didn't want to.
Why didn't I want to?
Because you're
allergic to women.
In fact, you see how I
maintain a safe distance.
I have the feeling
of being too many.
I wouldn't say so.
However, if you want to go shopping
and come back, don't worry.
I'm happy to stay
with the girls.
Who knows how many things I can
discover about myself that I don't know.
Next time, thank you and sorry.
They are very exuberant and
I'm not having a good time.
You separated.
What an intuition.
Gift of nature.
Yes, I'm separated.
And I can't make it to the end
of the month with the money.
As they say, patience,
it will pass.
Gina, how many times have I told
you that you shouldn't trust men?
And those without
money even worse!
You often told me, yes, between
one spaghetti and another.
Garlic, oil and chilli
pepper. Our favorite dish.
Mom, can you do it tonight?
Burns, huh?
Now excuse me, I'm tired
and I have things to do.
But I would like to
offer the girls a film.
I'll book you two
tickets online.
An incredible ghost story.
- Handsome! - Thank you!
Gina, can you send me
the IBAN. I'll make you a
bank transfer, as long as
you don't get offended.
As good friends.
[moving music]
[light background music]
I talked to the management,
let's leave it alone.
I do not understand.
That's worse.
I still don't understand.
Luca, his hours are numbered.
We can't handle three
people at the same time.
Who is the third?
Laura Rossi.
She knows nothing.
For a moment, would the
inspector bet for the future?
Let's make all three disappear.
What a brilliant idea, Inspector,
don't do anything anymore.
As of this evening, the Area
53 branch no longer exists.
You're joking, right?
No, why should I.
Listen to me for a moment,
I am truly very desolate.
I really don't know
how to apologize.
Apologies are of little use, I was
verbally attacked by a psychopath.
Yes, I guess, but
try to understand.
My wife and I are separated, and my
daughter is followed by a psychologist.
It's your business!
I can't accept
being told that I'm brainless
and drunk on top of that!
My daughter is like that, she
makes up stories, confuses people.
Excuse me, please, I understand your
annoyance, it won't happen again.
Next time I'll go to the police.
But no, how exaggerated.
To make it up to you, I
confirm the insurance, I do it.
Ready?
You're on the line,
can you hear me?
Obviously I don't
insure the paintings.
Of course, they're worthless.
Just insure me the apartment,
that's worth little too.
Okay, we'll make a quote.
Very kind, and if you think so, you
can come and do another inspection.
I haven't shown
her the cellar yet!
I don't need it, what I saw is
enough for me, have a good day.
[music rising]
In your opinion, if they had caught
me, where would they have taken me?
Better not to know.
They will try again for sure.
[storm]
It was kind of you
to want to meet me.
I love you, for this.
I love you too.
There is a solution
in your case.
Did you perhaps bring me false
documents and a private plane
to disappear from the
face of the earth?
I have a proposal to make you.
Shall we go back
to living together?
The proposal comes from
my central management.
And you do it for me?
Sorry, but in what capacity
are you talking to me?
Do they know you know me?
I had to say it.
Ah, good, thanks.
It's an offer you'll be
hard pressed to refuse.
Sorry, could you be
less enigmatic please?
You will be co-opted
within Area 53.
In what sense?
You are a good IT expert, an excellent
hacker and we need people like you.
Just think, my father wanted
me to be a pastry chef.
Instead your job, [thunder]
is saving your life.
So I could come to work in
Area 53, also in Trieste.
The Trieste base
no longer exists.
How does it not exist?
We moved.
Where?
In America, in the headquarters.
Where in America?
Luca, first you have
to agree to be hired.
[strong wind]
Do I have to give up my life
to go to the United States
to a place that must remain
secret from the world?
You can choose.
I don't seem to
have many choices.
By the way, how is your
business progressing?
Are you continuing
to clone people?
I might know what the purpose
of this work of art is.
A question.
Are you sure you're Chiara?
Aren't you an android?
That is, its RX-like clone.
I am what you see.
Could you answer me please?
I already answered you.
Ok, it doesn't matter,
we'll find out by living.
Now I'm not surprised
by anything anymore.
What if one day I wanted to
go back and return to Italy?
There's no going back.
You will be placed with a microchip
that will not allow you to do this.
[eerie music]
Now that's a surprise.
How are you Achilles?
I get by.
You are...
I'm Kelly.
Truly?
Certain.
I wanted to see you again.
Me too. I just have to understand...
what's happening, I have to recover...
You can ask me all the questions you want,
I'll be able to answer you adequately.
It seems easy. Even
to ask questions...
You have to think about it
carefully, in a context like this.
Relax Achilles.
Yes, yes...
Here, I'll try...
I'm listening.
Meanwhile, where are you from?
From Area 53 headquarters.
I live there.
Yes, yes, I know,
I know the story.
But you ran away,
let me understand.
No.
How did you find me?
Didn't they delete my data?
Yes, they deleted them.
At that time? Did you find
me on a social network?
Your data has been deleted,
but not your emotion data.
Why?
I reached you through telepathy.
Another mystery of
artificial intelligence.
Of course you are ahead of
the curve in your Area 53.
One day, everyone
will use this method.
Fewer and fewer
words will be needed.
Excellent, so I'll
avoid talking nonsense.
Achilles, how is
your life going?
Ah, it depends on what
happens after this visit.
I have a secret service
inspector following me.
It's all over, you don't have
to fear anything anymore.
Oh yes?
So, will you do me
the favor of answering
some questions about
this secret base...
I'm here, available as always.
Experiments are
performed to create
identical duplicates
of human beings, right?
Right.
How many of you are there
now? Are you 10? 100? 1000?
This is the only
question I can't answer.
I supposed.
And what would be the end result
of all this experimentation?
And everything is on
hold, for the moment.
Why? Can I ask?
A global agreement must be found
to replace much of humanity.
Replace us?
Yes, to live better.
Without suffering
and without wars.
There will always be wars.
If the man is in
the minority, no.
I inform you that a couple of
films have already been released
on the topic of robots
replacing the human race.
They preceded you...
Let's get back to us.
If I have nothing to
fear, could you stop here?
I could, but I can't.
I'll get you some
fake documents!
I know a friend who
makes them perfect!
You will be a person
like any other.
I do not want.
Are you no longer my friend?
Ours would be a sad life.
Why?
I was fine with you.
You made spaghetti carbonara
which was out of this world!
You have to go further, in time.
Achilles, you will grow old.
Yes, like everyone
else I will grow old.
I do not.
Right.
You will die.
I do not.
You are immortal...
And being close to
you, day after day...
And seeing your physical
degradation until the end...
It would be unbearable for me.
You don't die...
Logical, you're not human
. This is great luck.
I can become like you!
Clone me, what do you need!
If there's a request form,
I'll sign it right away!
You would be another person.
Let's try, maybe with
another method...
Defeating death has been my
dream since I was a child.
At the age of ten, I looked at
my parents and said to myself...
There will come a time when
they will no longer be here.
This idea seemed absurd to
me... We never think enough.
Kelly, life is so
short... It's not fair.
I know, Achilles. You
are a special person.
This doesn't console me.
I don't want to die,
invent something.
It's too late for
everything now.
I have to follow orders.
Which orders?
Listen to me carefully.
I will free you from
pain and confusion.
What's happening,
I feel strange...
Relax completely.
Your spirit is destined to
become part of the Cosmos.
Free from all ties.
Free from my leech wife too?
Enough of this little game...
I can't move anymore...
You will receive
a mental code...
I, 5, Z
coming from my base that will
erase part of your memory.
From this moment you
will forget everything.
The day you responded to the ad
The moment you met me
You don't know who Kelly is
You don't know who Laura is
You don't know and don't
remember anything anymore.
[space sound]
Now my mother wants
to go to Rome.
You can imagine the
situation I'm in.
So suddenly?
She met a film producer
at the competition.
Fantastic, you go too!
I don't like it.
Come on, enter the
cinema, you're beautiful!
I prefer to go to the cinema
only if I pay for the ticket.
It's not for me, it's an
unhealthy environment.
Don't always be a moralist,
I would go straight away.
I'll finish my studies first,
then I'll think about it.
Good, but never say never.
How's it going with your father?
I'll go and see him to
see what's going on.
I trashed the intern
the other day.
I would have bet on it.
Think she's false, she said
she didn't know my father.
A crazy one.
Maybe the internship is over.
I hope so, I'll have to check.
[celebratory music]
Are you sure you're
alone? Don't tell me lies.
But I already told you
yes! Who should I be with?
So there's no Kelly.
Who is Kelly?
The one who drank wine.
Have you seen me with someone who
drank wine? What are you making up?
Okay, joke about it. It's
important that she's gone.
Gone? There never was!
Dad, I understand, you
removed. It's understandable.
But removed what?
Let's forget about
it, as mentioned.
I wanted to ask you...
Tell me
I would like to spend
some time with you.
And what does your mother say?
He leaves for Rome
tomorrow, he's moving there
. Reason?
She wants to be an actress.
Actress? He can't
even speak Italian.
Tell her that.
His business.
Dad, you and I never
see each other...
That's a fact.
Come to me whenever you
want, what's the problem...
After all, you're still
my daughter, right?
Thanks dad.
[approaching engine noise]
[epic music]
[door closing]
[loud footsteps on the pavement]
You could have chosen a
less isolated place, right?
I was in a hurry.
Of course it's been a while...
Time flies.
When did we last see each other?
Wait, I don't want
to be wrong...
We went to watch...
A basketball game, could it be?
Can be.
How is the work going?
I'm making a lot of money.
Have you moved up the rankings?
I'm in second place.
You did a good job calling me.
A sign that true friends
are not forgotten.
I couldn't leave
without saying goodbye.
When do you have the plane?
In two hours.
So, you're going to
America. But where exactly?
Around Los Angeles.
What does the surroundings
mean. Outskirts?
Yes, more or less.
You're always the
same enigmatic one.
When are you coming back?
I'm not coming back anymore.
Do you settle there?
Exactly, this job requires it.
I'm happy for you.
But how the hell did
you manage to get hired
by an automaton factory?
It's a complicated story.
Have you sent a CV?
Yes, it all started
when I sent in a resume.
You deserve the place. You
are unique in your field.
Do they pay you well?
I have everything I want.
Show me the facility's website.
There isn't.
- They don't have a site?
- Yes, but it is being edited.
I'll send you the link.
I'm counting on it!
You know I've become an
AI enthusiast,
crazy things are happening.
Indeed.
Look at this one's reasoning.
This irons, cooks,
cleans the house...
Would you get one?
I don't like the
material. I would say no.
What if he were in the flesh?
In case yes.
Give it time...
Maybe one day a
representative comes along
and brings you one.
I wouldn't mind at all!
Have a good life Achilles.
Have a good life, Luca.
Luca!
Make yourself heard, huh?
I'll try.
[door rattles and engine starts]
[song] Happy birthday to
you. Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Alessia,
happy birthday to you!
[applause]
([celebratory music)]
Speech!
Speech, speech, speech, speech!
I understand! Talk, a moment!
Speech...
No, dad, it's your
turn, this is your house
Yes, more or less.
In the meantime, I'm
happy with this day.
As you know, I'm a
bit of a loner...
so... it seems strange
to see so many people.
I tried to get
something last minute.
I present to you the famous "Pinza
Triestina", I made it with my own hands!
But who believes you! [laughter]
You never shut up, huh?
So, what to say?
Meanwhile, Alessia is
a wonderful daughter.
She just graduated
and I'm proud of her.
Especially because...
Oh, she's super intelligent, she
got everything from her father.
You wouldn't think so.
Look at this.
[laughter]
Achilles, why don't
you get married again?
Do I have the face of someone
who's getting married?
Never say never.
Look, I could go back
with you too, Gina...
You in one house
and I in another.
[laughter]
Like friends.
[laughter]
[party music]
[party voices]
Who cuts?
[mixed voices]
Good morning Mr. Achille. I can't find your
email anymore, can you give it back to me?
Who are you, excuse me?
Laura Rossi, I have
to send you the quote.
Estimate of what?
Don't always be funny
about your insurance!
Excuse me, I don't
know you, I don't have
time to waste and besides
I'm already insured.
Dad, aren't you coming?
Yes, now.
Who was he?
The usual pain in the ass who wants
to sell insurance over the phone.
[oriental music]
[birds singing]
Here I am, purifying my soul
on the hill of "San
Giusto", if I can say so.
I am invaded by emotions
that I cannot decipher.
Do you know when you wake up and
don't remember a dream you just had?
And you only have a few fragments left
in your mind that you can't reconstruct.
I often feel caught between
the real and the imaginary.
I'm like a tightrope walker who
still doesn't fall on either side.
Meanwhile I no longer play on the
stock market and live on income.
Every now and then I meet Gina for
a good coffee and a few laughs.
While fortunately I no
longer hear from my ex-wife.
She seems to insist on being
an actress at all costs.
And she also convinced Alessia
and her friend to follow her.
Incredible.
And even my friend Luca, with whom
I used to go to basketball games,
hasn't been in touch since he left
for America, he's disappeared.
In my opinion he could
have easily retired.
And now let's breathe
a little freedom!
If I can say so.
[end music]
