["Quanto Forte ti Pensavo"
by Madame playing]
ENRICO IS IN CASSINO
VIA MANZONI, 24
[cell phone bleeps]
[shopping cart clattering]
What are you doing here? Get lost! Go!
Hey.
[song continues]
ADORATION
[song ends]
[moaning softly]
[moody hip hop music playing]
[Gianmarco] You told me you needed the car
to go out with Melissa.
And you told me it didn't go well.
I'm sorry.
[Gianmarco] Fuck your excuses.
Elena's with Enrico.
And now she's been missing all day.
You should've told us.
It was our secret.
Anyway, I drove her home.
I don't know what she did, then.
- It wasn't just a one-night stand for me.
- [moaning faintly]
We started kissing a few weeks ago.
And after that, well, we started texting.
I like Elena.
We talked about moving to Rome together.
- You have to tell Enrico.
- No!
[moody hip hop music fades]
She has to tell him.
And who cares, anyway?
She told me too that she wanted to leave.
Maybe that's what she did.
It's getting late.
- I'll take you home.
- I want him to do it.
[breathing deeply]
[Vanessa] Why didn't you tell me?
I'm your cousin and she's my best friend.
Did you think I was gonna snitch?
No, of course not. I don't know.
I mean, you saw how Gianmarco reacted.
I'm not Gianmarco!
I know, I know, I hear you.
But, she asked me not to.
And you see
I haven't talked with Melissa yet.
Okay. I understand.
I was stupid to think you trusted me.
[gentle, melodic music playing]
[Giorgio, sighing]
I'll talk to Enrico myself.
I don't wanna hide anymore. Whaddya think?
I wanna leave.
Whaddya mean?
You, me, now.
Let's go.
Where?
Rome. We can rent a place for the summer.
And you can keep training for the academy.
And I'll work tables on the Tiber.
- And we can see how we like it.
- Are you serious?
Yes. What about you?
Take me home.
[gentle, melodic music stops]
[Elena] I wanna get out of here.
[Vanessa] Another fight with Enrico?
[Elena] Drop it.
You could never understand.
[Giorgio] It was our secret. I like Elena.
[Elena] I'm going
to Cassino to see Enrico.
He's nervous about his exams.
I'm really sorry.
But I'll be at your party.
[moody music playing]
Why don't you show me what you bought?
A nice pair of shoes? A pretty dress?
- Something else?
- You're insane. Outta my way.
Do you have any idea what I do with that
money? It's all we have to pay the bills.
I know, "I'm such a bitch."
Why don't you ask Giorgio?
Why is it always my fault?
I dunno. Maybe outta habit?
What do you think?
- Good morning.
- Morning.
Where's our gift?
Sorry, Mom. I left it at Gianmarco's.
That's okay. The Crociaras
gave you such a beautiful gift.
How come you didn't sleep over?
You know.
This dress is amazing.
It must have cost a small fortune.
ELEXXX COMMENTED A POS
YOU'RE TAGGED IN
[gasps] Ah! Vanessa!
Look, it's all stained.
I'll take this straight to the cleaners.
I HIT BOTTOM WITHOUT BREATHING
MOUTHING A SCREAM AS I WENT DOWN
You must've looked stunning.
- Where you going?
- Sorry, Mom.
- Vanessa! I hope you said thank you?
- Yeah, yeah.
I mean this dress and those shoes,
they must have cost at least 2,000.
I'd look good in this. It's so beautiful.
Vanessa, are you okay?
I dunno if you've been to Milan or not,
but just in case you didn't know,
your father hasn't paid me
alimony in over six months.
And all this time, what's her name?
Little Miss Ludo?
Yeah! Well, she's been having a good time.
Meanwhile, we sit here starving.
Whose fault is that?
- Say it.
- It's all yours! Don't you get it?
He left us because
you're a crazy ass bitch, huh?
[gasps]
- Fuck you!
- Vera!
- Open the door.
- [doorknob rattling]
- [moody music fades]
- Open the damn door.
- [Vera] Go to hell!
- Open the fuckin' door!
Fine, I'll pay back your money!
You can be a real bitch, you know!
Giorgio.
[shuddering]
[clicking]
- [thud]
- Hey, what the fuck is your problem?
- Sorry, it was an accident.
- You're losing your mind.
I didn't mean to spill the drink on you.
I guess it was an accident
when you fucked Christian?
For once in your life,
can you stop acting like a bitch?
All I have to do is call Teresa.
Go ahead, you fuckin' snitch!
You don't give a shit about Teresa.
In fact you don't give
a shit about anyone.
- No one gives a shit about you!
- You're pathetic.
The only reason anyone came
to your shitty party
was to suck up to Gianmarco,
not for your sorry ass!
Even your best friend dumped you!
Now, go fuck yourself!
[mysterious music playing]
[music stops]
[knocking]
[intriguing music playing]
- Hey, good morning.
- Hi.
- Melissa's still in bed.
- It's okay, I came to see you.
- I wanted to show you this.
- Okay.
Someone posted this.
They're lyrics from a song.
"I touched the bottom without breathing,
mouthing a scream as I went down."
I don't think it was her.
And who do you think may
be posting all this stuff?
Maybe someone she's with
or someone who knows more than us?
Vanessa, are you saying
that she ran away with someone?
- What do you know?
- No. Nothing, that's all I know.
- You're the police, not me.
- Okay, send me a screenshot.
I'll look into it.
- And don't worry about it, okay?
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Ciao.
[intriguing music fades]
Hey! Vanessa!
- Hi.
- Melissa. Hey.
- How are you?
- Good, you?
Fine. Sorry, I was asleep when you called.
I think I had
too much to drink at your party.
[chuckles] I think you're right.
Listen, Chiara said you came about Elena.
Yeah, I'm hoping she can help us find her.
That would be a first.
Your aunt.
She's the best.
Yeah. Um
Have you spoken with Giorgio?
Uh. No, why?
Well, it's just that
I think it's over between us.
He's been acting weird.
Last night, he didn't talk to me at all.
He wouldn't even look at me.
Maybe it's the academy exams.
I think there's something else, honestly.
Then, maybe you guys should talk it over.
I guess you're right.
[contemplative music playing]
[doorbell ringing]
One sec!
Hey, Giorgio, come in.
- Mom, look who's here.
- Hello.
It's Giorgio.
Remember him?
Hi.
Hm. She doesn't care about anything.
Let's go. Enrico and Gianmarco are here.
Why?
I thought you knew.
Another strange message on the account.
No, no one told me anything.
But I saw it. Maybe she's having fun.
Listen, man, Enrico's really upset.
- Hey, Chris.
- [Christian] Yeah?
Vera just burned 130 euros.
- [contemplative music stops]
- Sorry, I don't have a cent, I'm broke.
- Ask Gianmarco.
- No, I can't do that.
Don't worry. We'll work it out.
Let's go.
Giorgio's here.
Hey, guys.
- Hey. You good?
- Yeah. You?
Great.
Whaddya think of this, guys?
"Last seen in the vicinity
of Giorgetti's Restaurant
on Lungomare Pontino."
"If you see her,
please call 398-56-57-495."
"To my love, Elena, come back safe."
"Everything's gonna be fine.
I'll be waiting. We all miss you."
Whaddya think? Okay?
I think Elena will be pissed.
Well, let her be pissed then.
[cell phone vibrating]
It's Vanessa.
Hey, Vanessa.
- [Vanessa] Is this a good time?
- Yeah, we're all at Christian's.
I just came from speaking with Chiara.
I showed her the messages
on Elena's profile page.
She said not to worry.
She'll look into it.
[Enrico] Perfect.
We wrote a message too.
To reach out, you know.
- [Vanessa] Did you tell her parents?
- [Enrico] No, we just finished writing it.
- Before you post it, tell them.
- Yeah, of course.
- Ciao.
- [Enrico] Take care.
[soft guitar music playing]
[Paolo] Her behavior's improved
since she met you.
But you know Elena.
You tell her to do one thing,
she'll do the opposite.
When she gets tired of whatever
she's doing, she'll be back. Like always.
Enrico, I like what you wrote, it's good.
I think we should also
put out some flyers.
Because, you know,
not everyone has internet
- or a computer.
- Sure.
I don't see the point.
We've filed a report.
She's gonna walk through that door
and we'll all look like fools.
Who cares what other people think of us?
Personally, I don't give a damn
what people think. I want her home.
[Paolo] Easy for you to say,
I'm the one working at the dealership.
I'm the one who has to hear
the comments about my "crazy daughter."
- [Paolo sighs]
- Just this once, will you let me decide?
Do whatever you want then.
Why the hell is that bum
always hangin' around here?
One of these days,
I'll teach him a lesson.
[music continues]
[lively music playing]
[laughing]
Hey, Diana? Go take their order.
Bring them bread
and move on to the next table
That one over there.
[Diana] Mom, I know, it's okay.
Massimo!
Look who's here!
Who's that?
Ah. That's Ronchi,
the cardiologist. Come on.
Claudio, darling, how are you?
I'm good.
Wait, this can't be.
Is this?
Yeah, that's her.
You're all grown up now.
Are you still set on doing medicine
or have you changed your mind?
Why would I change my mind?
It happens.
I think I changed my mind a million times.
- Must be tough for your patients.
- [Diletta] Manners. Diana!
Come on, Claudio.
I'll show you to your table.
Just a sec.
You know what you want. I like that.
[Diletta chuckles]
Come, this way.
Where's that beautiful family of yours?
You could make an effort to be nice
to customers on your first day.
My second day, actually.
I'm replacing the bitch that went AWOL.
JACOPO
1 NEW MESSAGE
You know your mother
doesn't allow cell phones at work?
- Yeah, tell me something I don't know.
- [typing]
- Good evening.
- Dario will be your waiter.
- I'll have the tagliatelle di mare.
- Good choice.
Enjoy your meal.
[alert on cell phone]
Put it away.
IT'S AMAZING!
THAT GUY JACOPO TEXTED ME! WHERE ARE YOU?
Hey, Vera! Vera?
I'm not interested. Otherwise, I would've
answered all your fucking messages.
I just wanted to give you this.
What's this?
It's my tips from today. Giorgio told me
you need 130 euros. This will help.
It's not even enough
to get you a blowjob. Keep it.
[Christian] You can be a bitch sometimes!
I just wanted to help!
I don't need any help from you!
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, champ.
[sniffs]
Let's split up, okay?
- Just around Sabaudia? Okay.
- And Latina and Pontinia.
And stations in Rome,
where she wanted to stay.
Why did you mention Rome?
Well, she said she went the other day.
For your exam results.
Yeah, I understand that but you
never mentioned it to Chiara.
She probably forgot. She was stressed.
- Let's get started.
- Where's Giorgio?
He's looking for a job.
He's really stuck for money.
I wanted him to ask you for help
but he was too embarrassed to.
[sighing] Dumbass.
[Christian] Vera pulled
another of her stunts.
Okay, let's do this.
Sorry to disturb you. We're looking
for a friend who's gone missing.
Okay, got it.
MISSING
[moody electronic music playing]
AGE 16
IF YOU SEE HER PLEASE CONTACT:
[Elena] I wanna leave.
- [Giorgio] Where?
- [Elena] Rome. We can rent a place.
For the summer.
And you can keep training for the academy.
And I'll work tables on the Tiber.
And we can see how we like it.
Are you serious?
[Elena] Yes. What about you?
[Giorgio] What will we do in Rome?
What about money?
You say you love me,
but you won't run away with me?
That's not true. I'd do anything for you.
But I have to think about
my mom and my sister.
You and Vanessa talk and talk
but you never act.
I told you. We don't need to hide anymore.
- What can I do?
- You want to stay, but this place sucks!
You're unbelievable, I never said that.
[cell phone vibrates]
I TALKED TO VANESSA THIS MORNING.
IT'S OK IF THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE,
BUT AT LEAST TELL ME
Take me home.
Did you hear what I said?
I want us to be a legitimate couple.
[exhaling] And I want to go home.
- Fuck! Fuck!
- [thudding]
- [thudding]
- Fuck!
- I'm really sorry, Gianni. I'm exhausted.
- [moody electronic music fades]
Babe, what's goin' on?
[car doors shut]
I dunno.
Being here,
I feel that I'm closer to Elena.
I like to think that if she comes back,
she'll come see me.
This thing with Giorgio
is driving me crazy.
- When I see Enrico, I feel terrible.
- Yeah, me too.
However, in two weeks we'll be in Mykonos.
- Elena'll be home.
- Whaddya mean?
I confirmed the hotel.
How can you think about Greece
at a time like this?
Relax, everything's gonna be fine.
Just because you say it
doesn't mean that everything will be fine!
Don't you see that we have a problem?
- Don't you get it?
- Relax, baby.
- You don't have to shout at me.
- Can't you see what's going on?
You feel bad.
I feel bad! I can't always be smiling
and happy, you know.
And when normal people feel that bad,
they don't go to Greece!
[moody electronic music playing]
Maybe I can spend the night?
Hey.
- What did you say to Melissa?
- What did I say?
Nothing.
Then, why did you go and talk to her?
I went to talk with Chiara, not Melissa.
Why?
To see if we can find out who is writing
all those messages on Elena's page.
And by the way, you should really get off
your high horse and stop judging me.
I'm not the one who's betrayed his friend.
Wait! Swear you won't tell anyone
about me and Elena.
I just spent the whole day with Enrico.
Do you think that that was easy?
How do you do it?
I'm going to bed.
[moody electronic music stops]
[distant lively music playing]
- D'Angelo?
- [man] Hey.
- What are you doing?
- I was looking for you.
Well?
Forensics were able
to crack Elena's phone.
I sent you the details.
But honestly, there was nothing.
A few hostels in Rome.
We checked but she's not there.
All her messages had already been deleted.
It'll take time to recover them.
And the profile messages?
They're looking into it.
They'll let us know
who created the account.
So, boss,
they found a strange app on her phone.
It's called You&Me.
It shares your real time
location with your shared contacts.
Yeah, I knew that.
But did Elena share her location
with anyone besides Enrico?
No, nobody else.
I'm guessing she left her phone
at home so she couldn't be located.
On the night she disappeared,
around 10:00 p.m.,
she checked his location.
By the way, why are we here?
To better understand youth culture.
What culture?
Do you mind?
They're wasted.
[insects chirping]
JACOPO
I'D LOVE TO PAINT YOUR PORTRAI
DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT?
[approaching footsteps]
Hey, you're awake.
What do you want?
Your dad found this. Apparently,
they're posted all across the city.
[sighs] It's not the first time
she's disappeared.
Imagine now that she's failed her exams.
- How come you dislike her so much?
- Now, all of a sudden you like her?
What do you mean, all of a sudden?
I've always liked her.
Aside from the whole Ricotta thing.
I think she's an idiot.
And now that Ricotta's gone,
it's a win-win for all of us.
- I don't like it when you're like this.
- Newsflash, you don't like me.
Diana?
[door shuts]
[contemplative music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Oh my God, you're such a little bitch!
Could you just stop?
[laughing]
[all laughing]
[alert on cell phone]
GIANMARCO
SORRY ABOUT YESTERDAY, BABE.
I GOT CROISSANTS TO SAY I'M SORRY
WILL YOU COME DOWN?
- [water splashing]
- [contemplative music continues]
[music fades]
[chuckling faintly]
- What the hell!
- [chuckles]
If you want, we can skip the fair tonight.
Going out would do me some good.
[alert on cell phone]
ELEXXX
1 NEW MESSAGE
WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, VANE?
If it's her,
she's being a bitch. Write back.
[quiet, dramatic music playing]
[typing]
Elena?
We've been looking everywhere.
Where are you?
LOOK HARDER.
- What the fuck?
- Insist.
That's enough, who is this?
DELIVERED
Fuck!
[buzzer rings]
- Hi.
- Enrico. How are you?
- I've seen better days.
- [dramatic music stops]
We put out lots of flyers on the streets,
but nobody's called.
I saw that.
- May I come in?
- Of course.
Thanks.
- Something to drink?
- No, thanks, I'm good.
Your parents are out?
Yeah, but they're on their way back.
You play?
I used to. In Bergamo.
- Please, sit down.
- Thanks.
Enrico, if you don't mind,
I'd like to ask you
about that app you have on your telephone.
You&Me.
Personally, I find it strange. Um
I was wondering,
doesn't it make you feel imprisoned?
Well, actually, this was something
that Elena's father asked me to do.
Ah.
Well, the fact is,
any of us in relationships use it.
I know all of Elena's passwords.
And she knows all of mine.
We have no secrets.
And yet she left.
Yeah. Uh, what does this have to do
with the You&Me app?
If she left her phone at home,
maybe she didn't want you
to know where she was.
So I'm guessing she did have secrets.
[door opens]
Hello. Good morning.
- [Enrico] Hi, Dad.
- Hello.
- Everything okay?
- Everything's fine.
I'm continuing my search for Elena.
So I just dropped by
to have a conversation with Enrico.
Can I get you coffee?
No, no, I'm fine, I was just leaving.
I hope you find her soon.
We're doing everything possible.
I wouldn't want to interfere
with the work you're doing,
but if you ever require my assistance
It's been two days already.
No need to worry.
We're following all the leads.
- Thank you for your time.
- Thank you.
- [Chiara] Have a nice day.
- Okay, you too.
[door shuts]
- What did she want?
- Lemme think. Elena?
Enough sarcasm.
This is a very serious situation.
They have no idea where she is,
so she came to see me.
And have you any idea where she is?
- She is your girlfriend.
- Sergio, that's enough.
- How the fuck should I know?
- Don't talk to me like that.
What kinda fuckin' question is that?
- Hey! Change your tone!
- Stop it, both of you.
Get that off the couch.
Whatever you say, Dad.
You're always right.
[moody music playing]
Can you just leave him alone?
[door slams]
- [Sergio] It's for his own good.
- [woman] No, you can't handle emotions.
- [Sergio] He has to move on.
- [woman] He's upset! Elena's missing.
[Sergio] She's not, she left him.
[woman] And even if she has, what do you
expect him to do, forget about her?
- Enrico isn't like you. leave him alone.
- [Sergio] It's pointless talking with you.
You're always taking his side.
- [moody music continues]
- [cell phone ringing]
3 MISSED CALLS
[Chiara] D'Angelo.
[D'Angelo] Bad news Chiara.
Forensics have analyzed
the profile messages.
It's sweet little Melissa
that created the fake account.
Listen, D'Angelo, is it possible
to keep this between us for now?
Of course.
[footsteps approaching]
- Hi.
- [moody music fades]
[Chiara] Have you got anything to tell me?
Like what?
Like why you created a fake account
under the name of Elexx.
At least tell me why?
So?
For fun.
You did it for fun?
Did you stop to think
that people are worried sick about her?
People who love her?
You chatted with Vanessa
pretending to be Elena.
Is it illegal?
What the hell do you mean, illegal?
Remember what happened
when you were in Rome?
In Rome, I was with my dad.
- It's none of your business.
- Look, Melissa.
I know you reported
that poor kid for stalking you,
just because you didn't like him.
He was an asshole.
What does that even mean?
When they found out you were lying,
you had to change schools.
Why did you do it?
You realize it's not normal behavior?
Would you leave me alone?
So what the hell
am I gonna do with you now?
I don't want you to do anything!
I want things back
the way they were before!
You wanna know something?
I envy Elena.
'Cause she did whatever
she fucking wanted.
- [lively music playing]
- [people screaming]
Man, this year's even trashier
than last year.
- Fuck, my mom's here.
- You still pissed with her?
Of course I am.
She slapped me in the face.
Can't she understand
that you wanna see your father?
That's the problem.
She completely hates his guts.
And you know what else?
My dad's new girlfriend,
she's really hot. Look.
- She's got class, huh?
- Amazing.
- [Vera] Yeah, I like her.
- Hey, Diana!
- Hi!
- Hey!
- This is Francesca, we were in school.
- Nice to meet you.
Vera.
Listen, I'm here with my sister
and her friend.
We're going clubbing.
We have a car. Do you wanna come?
Yeah, of course we do!
Let's go. [kissing]
Let's stop by the cafe. I need to go pee.
It's a real sausage fest tonight.
It's a joke, Giorgio, laugh.
You're the funny guy tonight, huh?
That's me! A real joker!
Lighten up.
[man] Two Peroni, please.
- Where are you off to?
- The bumper cars. Is that okay?
Bye, have fun. Let's go.
[Giorgio] Why'd she look at you like that?
- Who?
- Vera.
How would I know?
Okay, it's getting pretty late. Let's go.
- My head's killing me.
- Yeah, let's go.
Hey, I don't know
if I'll be back. Have fun.
- Bye.
- [Christian] Bye.
- [Gianmarco] Wanna try shooting?
- You can go.
I'll see you later.
Come on, I can't shoot straight.
- Except at Playstation.
- You suck at Playstation too.
Gio, you've got a date.
Sorry, I know I haven't been around.
Dump me if you like. But not like this.
I've got a lot of shit
going on in my life,
and I don't need this extra stress.
- What do you mean?
- There's the academy exams.
My mom, my dad, my sister.
Usual shit.
Hey, we're a couple.
We're supposed to help each other out.
Not to fight.
I know that.
What if we tried to help each other out
when times are tough
instead of arguing?
I don't know what to say.
I know what to do.
I know what you want.
And I know what you need.
Sorry, I'm not in the mood.
Just relax.
Let's go to your place.
[loud dance music playing]
For fuck's sake, Vera!
[Vera] What? I'm thirsty.
- What the fuck? Are you crazy?
- Trying to find a way to pay back my mom.
That's enough, stop it!
Why don't you relax
and just have fun? Come on!
[people chattering]
Buying? Coke?
But you're a fucking child.
I need to raise some money
for my brother's operation.
Douchebag.
- [slow, melodic music playing]
- [heart beating]
[snorting]
[music becomes dark and moody]
Take me home.
What's wrong?
Enough. That's enough, no more.
[dark and moody music continues]
Just think about someone
else that excites you.
- Who else would you like to fuck?
- What are you saying?
Vanessa?
Or Elena?
You'd like to fuck Elena?
[moaning]
[music becomes melodic and moody]
Please go easy!
[Giorgio moans]
- Please.
- [Giorgio continues moaning]
[Melissa gasping]
- No, no! No, wait!
- [Giorgio moans]
Stop it! Stop!
Please, you're hurting me, stop!
[gasping] Fuck! I said stop!
[Elena] Get lost!
[panting]
[exhales deeply]
[melodic, moody music continues]
- [thud]
- [Giorgio] Fuck!
[door closes]
- [Melissa sobbing]
- [Chiara] Melissa, sorry about earlier.
[melodic, moody music continues]
[music fades]
[club music playing faintly]
- Hey, princess.
- Hey, Rico.
- Are you doing okay?
- [Ricotta] Eh.
Come here. Sit down.
- Whoa! What are you doin'?
- Nothing!
[Christian] Get lost!
- Wasted?
- A bit.
Come on. I've something that'll help.
Where's Teresa hiding?
[Christian] At home.
- She gets headaches with her period.
- [Vera] Poor baby.
- Can I get a veal sandwich?
- [woman] Sure.
There you go.
[Vera] Boom bam, baby.
Let's get to the grub.
'Cause "I'm one hungry king of the world."
No! You're a fan
of The Emperor's New Groove?
- It's a masterpiece.
- Yeah, but a little old.
My mom was completely obsessed by it.
Last time I saw her laugh,
she was watching that movie.
Thank you.
For what?
I don't know.
Just for being kind, I guess.
You're the only person
who doesn't think that I'm a bitch.
How can anyone think that?
[both chuckling]
Eat.
- It's good, huh? Mm.
- Mm.
- [gun clicking]
- [objects clattering]
You're phenomenal!
[chuckles]
I'm so sorry for being
such a pain in the ass.
You're too good to me.
[sirens blaring]
Let's go to your place?
[Gianmarco] What's going on?
- [sirens continue blaring]
- [car horns honking]
[moody electronic music playing]
[music continues]
[sirens blaring]
[sirens shut off]
[feedback over police radio]
- Stop, you can't go there!
- Let me go!
[Gianmarco] Vanessa!
- Babe!
- [panting]
- [music becomes moody and dramatic]
- [siren blaring]
[sobbing]
Get her away from here.
- Babe, come with me.
- [shuddering]
- [Gianmarco] Come on. We have to go.
- [Vanessa] Elena.
[Chiara] Get outta here.
[moody hip hop music playing]
Please.
[moody hip hop music continues]
[moody hip hop music stops]
