2 00:00:59 NOVEMBER 1968
3 00:02:10 Mr. Gary.
4 00:02:18 That man looks really ill. Who is he?Wasn't he here yesterday as well?
5 00:02:23 He's been here all week.He's an Italian engineer.
6 00:02:26 That weird car outside, is that his?
7 00:02:29 Yes, it is.
8 00:02:30 He desperately wants youto read a file he's brought.
9 00:02:35 I didn't want to bother you with it.
10 00:02:37 Did you tell him we deal with disputesbetween sovereign states?
11 00:02:42 He says he's a head of state,
12 00:02:44 and that he won't leaveuntil I give you the file.
13 00:02:49 He's a bit crazy but also very determined.
14 00:02:52 This is what we're going to do.
15 00:02:54 Hand me the file,and make it look like a big deal.
16 00:03:06 Here's the file I told you about.
17 00:03:08 Thank you.
18 00:03:10 I'll read it very carefully.
19 00:03:13 Very well. Thank you, sir. Goodbye.
20 00:04:08 Where is he?
21 00:04:09 -Who?-The mad man with pneumonia.
22 00:04:13 -I managed to get rid of him.-No!
23 00:04:15 Bring him to my office.I need to talk to him.
24 00:04:18 Come on, quick!
25 00:04:24 Mr. Rosa, I have to ask youif you know what day it is
26 00:04:26 and where you are.
27 00:04:28 November 10th, 1968,
28 00:04:32 Strasbourg, Council of Europe.
29 00:04:35 And what can the Council of Europedo for you, Mr. Rosa?
30 00:04:39 Save my island.
31 00:04:41 Did you buy an island?
32 00:04:43 No, I made it.
33 00:04:46 He created an island.
34 00:04:48 How many days did it take youto create this island?
35 00:04:50 Please, don't say six,that would be an incredible coincidence.
36 00:04:54 No, it wasn't six days.It took me several months.
37 00:04:56 So you own an islandthat you have created.
38 00:04:59 No, I didn't say that.I'm an engineer. I simply built it, then鈥?
39 00:05:06 we created the world on the island鈥?42
40 00:05:11 He needs help but clearly not from us.
41 00:05:13 I need help from the European Council.That's why I'm here.
42 00:05:17 Keep calm, Mr. Rosa.
43 00:05:18 I can't keep calm.They're going to destroy everything.
44 00:05:22 Is this the island that you built?
45 00:05:28 Yes, like I said, I'm an engineer.
46 00:05:32 Doctor, my ass! Piss off!
47 00:05:38 ONE YEAR EARLIER
48 00:05:42 Doctor, my ass! Piss off!
49 00:05:45 Doctor, my ass! Piss off!
50 00:05:51 If I may, we're already doctors.
51 00:05:53 We've passed our exam,so now we're engineers not--
52 00:05:56 Engineer, my ass! Piss off!
53 00:06:01 What the hell are you doing?
54 00:06:06 Forfeit!
55 00:06:08 What forfeit?I was just talking鈥?It's not fair!
56 00:06:12 Guys, he's right.If you challenge a professional--
57 00:06:14 -You stole my glass!-Forfeit!
58 00:06:17 What? I was talkingabout the engineer thing.
59 00:06:19 They insist.I'd say a fair forfeit could be鈥?
60 00:06:23 to have him鈥?64
61 00:06:30 -But these aren't the rules鈥?-Ass of himself!
62 00:06:33 -I didn't lose!-Ass of himself!
63 00:06:35 So, the first girl that walks in,
64 00:06:37 he must chat her up,and when she least expects it,
65 00:06:40 he kisses her on her lips!
66 00:06:44 Shit!
67 00:06:46 Hi.
68 00:06:48 How's it going?
69 00:06:51 It's good to see you.
70 00:06:53 I'll be right there.
71 00:06:54 -Yes.-Kiss!
72 00:06:56 Well, it's鈥?77
73 00:07:02 I'm now officially an engineer.
74 00:07:04 -Congratulations!-Thanks.
75 00:07:07 Guys, we can't do the kiss thing.
76 00:07:09 We can't do that鈥?82
77 00:07:15 -Sure.-I didn't even lose.
78 00:07:17 They're just insisting because鈥?85
79 00:07:22 Guys, it's not gonna happen.
80 00:07:24 Right, there's no pointthat they keep saying鈥?
81 00:07:27 We just can't do that, you know鈥?89
82 00:07:32 You look very good.
83 00:07:34 Honestly.
84 00:07:36 Thanks.
85 00:07:39 Fancy a drink?
86 00:07:43 Well, anyway鈥?95
87 00:07:48 Not really. Bologna isn't a big town.
88 00:07:51 Yeah, sure.
89 00:07:54 Last time we saw each other,
90 00:07:57 you were seeing that guy, that--
91 00:07:59 -Carlo.-Carlo, that's right.
92 00:08:01 Carlo.
93 00:08:05 He's not here, is he?
94 00:08:07 We've been having problems lately.
95 00:08:11 I'm sorry to hear that.
96 00:08:13 No, you're not.
97 00:08:14 Come on, it was clear that you were鈥?107
98 00:08:21 just a temporary one.
99 00:08:22 How long have you been together?A few months?
100 00:08:24 Three years.
101 00:08:25 Three years?
102 00:08:27 That's almost as long as we were.
103 00:08:31 I guess your parents like him.
104 00:08:33 -Why are you having problems?-My parents liked you.
105 00:08:36 Your dad hated me. You didn't answer me.
106 00:08:38 Well, maybe he hated you a bit, but鈥?117
107 00:08:43 when you blew up his TVduring the Italy vs. Russia match.
108 00:08:46 And you never apologized to me or him.
109 00:08:48 It imploded,and you're still not answering.
110 00:08:51 We fell out because after three years,he believes we should get married.
111 00:08:54 -Imploded?-I knew there was something.
112 00:08:56 Get married? Be careful about marriage.
113 00:08:59 He's not the right man.
114 00:09:00 How do you know if you don't know him?Now you're not answering.
115 00:09:04 The cathode tube implodes,it doesn't explode.
116 00:09:06 Electrons flow through the vacuum.
117 00:09:08 And I told your father a thousand timesto sit further away.
118 00:09:11 I just wanted him to enjoythe football match. Those three lines--
119 00:09:15 Sorry, Giorgio. It's eleven o'clock鈥?131
120 00:09:18 -I have to go. I've got a class tomorrow.-Wait.
121 00:09:21 I'll drive you home.
122 00:09:25 Since when do you have a car?
123 00:09:39 Excuse the interior.
124 00:09:42 I built this car for the engineering exam.
125 00:09:45 I thought it'd be interestingto make something practical.
126 00:09:48 And I focused a bit moreon the engine than the interior.
127 00:09:52 To speed things up,I used my grandma's sofa as seats.
128 00:09:56 She's dead now anyway.
129 00:09:58 -Grandma Margherita is dead?-Yes, two months ago.
130 00:10:01 -She couldn't take our breaking up.-We split up three years ago. Come on.
131 00:10:04 Yes, it was a slow decline.She deteriorated slowly.
132 00:10:08 -Giorgio鈥?-Can you remind me why we split up?
133 00:10:13 Because being with you is too risky.
134 00:10:15 You have to take risksif you want to try and change the world.
135 00:10:19 You're hardly changing the worldgetting rid of three lines on a TV.
136 00:10:26 -It's beautiful, you know?-What is?
137 00:10:29 -The car.-Thank you!
138 00:10:31 It's weird, but鈥?151
139 00:10:39 It might not be Diabolik's Jaguar but--
140 00:10:41 Whose Jaguar did you say?
141 00:10:45 Diabolik's.
142 00:10:46 -Diabolik, The King of Terror.-Who's he?
143 00:10:48 The new comic everyone's talking about!
144 00:10:50 -Never heard of it, honestly.-It's great.
145 00:10:53 Basically, it's aboutthis very clever thief
146 00:10:57 who always wears鈥?who always wears a mask鈥?160
147 00:11:25 Hello.
148 00:11:27 Yes.
149 00:11:29 -Good evening.-Evening.
150 00:11:31 Is there a reason whythis vehicle has no license plate?
151 00:11:35 Because I didn't buy this vehicle.I actually聽built it.
152 00:11:39 This car has no license plate?
153 00:11:41 To be honest,I didn't think about that at all.
154 00:11:43 All right, if you want to be funny,step outside, please.
155 00:11:46 Driving license and registration.Salvatore, check their criminal records.
156 00:11:54 And here we are.
157 00:11:57 Let me explain.
158 00:11:59 I built this car with my own hands,because I'm an engineer.
159 00:12:03 So it's the same principleas with the license plate.
160 00:12:06 I don't have a registrationnor driving license--
161 00:12:09 You drove me aroundwithout a driving license?
162 00:12:12 -I drove you. I didn't force you, did I?-Yes.
163 00:12:15 -You insisted.-I insisted?
164 00:12:17 I'd have never driven you around Bolognain a car with no plate,
165 00:12:20 no driving license, half-drunk--
166 00:12:22 Did you say "drunk"?
167 00:12:23 No, I'm not drunk.
168 00:12:24 I lost a drinking game.Actually, I didn't lose--
169 00:12:27 Salvatore, so do these twohave criminal records?
170 00:12:30 I'm a lawyer, address us politely.We're not "these two," thanks.
171 00:12:33 That's right. She's my lawyer.
172 00:12:36 So let's keep calm.
173 00:12:37 Giorgio, I'm not your lawyer.I'm an international law associate.
174 00:12:41 Bummer. Bloody useless international law鈥?189
175 00:12:45 -But Rosa has a criminal record.-What about Rosa?
176 00:12:48 That's not a criminal record,it's a flying ban.
177 00:12:51 They're two totally different things.
178 00:12:53 And as per the judge's order,I disassembled the biplane.
179 00:12:57 I worked two summersto pay for those street lights.
180 00:12:59 -Please鈥?-You flew an unregistered plane?
181 00:13:02 Yes, I did. What's with this fixationwith registering everything?
182 00:13:06 Shall we also put a plateon the bottom of each bird that's flying
183 00:13:09 in Piazza Maggiore?
184 00:13:10 Salvatore, his car's in the way.Move it, then call the tow truck.
185 00:13:15 You don't need to. Salvatore, I can do it.
186 00:13:17 You'll break it.You don't know how to start it.
187 00:13:20 Stand back.This vehicle is being impounded.
188 00:13:24 Impounded?You must be joking. Salvatore, wait!
189 00:13:27 -Salvatore, stop. You'll break it!-Stand back.
190 00:13:30 -Didn't you hear me?-You'll break it.
191 00:13:32 -Listen!-I'm listening!
192 00:13:34 -Stop!-Don't touch him.
193 00:13:35 -He's touching everything.-Keep your hands down!
194 00:14:04 There was no need for you to come.
195 00:14:06 They didn't need to wake you up for that.I was handling it just fine.
196 00:14:10 The judge was going to convict youbecause you're a repeat offender.
197 00:14:14 They're different things.
198 00:14:16 This one happened on the ground,the other one was air-related.
199 00:14:19 Why don't you just try, Giorgio?
200 00:14:23 -Try what?-To be normal.
201 00:14:26 You'd be happier. Look at yourself now.
202 00:14:29 What are you talking about?Listen to yourself, "Be normal"鈥?
203 00:14:32 I managed to meet Battistiniand showed him the blueprints of your car.
204 00:14:36 He was so impressed,he wants you on his team of engineers.
205 00:14:39 Dad, don't show my stuff to people.It's private.
206 00:14:42 It's a sought-after position.You should be glad.
207 00:14:46 Yes, I know, Dad. Thanks.
208 00:14:50 Could you please pull over?I want to get out.
209 00:14:53 -Why don't you come home?-I want to get out.
210 00:14:55 Just stop the car and let me out!
211 00:14:59 Where are you going now?
212 00:15:04 Called to answer chargesfor crimes against humanity,
213 00:15:08 the Nazis appealed to the positive law,
214 00:15:11 alluding to their famous phrase,"We were just following orders."
215 00:15:16 In other words, "We were obeying the law,"
216 00:15:19 which, no matter聽how brutal,was still the law.
217 00:15:23 To this avoidance of responsibility,
218 00:15:26 the judges would respondby appealing to natural law.
219 00:15:30 Natural law isthat innate sense of justice
220 00:15:34 which exists in each one of usreminding us that it's more important鈥?
221 00:15:39 Can you move over?
222 00:15:40 鈥o prioritize what is rightover the rules,
223 00:15:42 what is right over the law.
224 00:15:45 Because laws change,
225 00:15:47 while what is right will always be right.
226 00:15:54 And this,
227 00:15:57 doesn't mean that obeying the lawis not important,
228 00:16:01 on the contrary, it's extremely important.
229 00:16:04 Especially the driving laws,the traffic codes,
230 00:16:06 even license plates are important.
231 00:16:08 Right. That's it for today.
232 00:16:10 I'll see you next week.Chapter three, The Tokyo Trial.
233 00:16:13 Professor,the class only lasted ten minutes.
234 00:16:16 Because these are complex conceptswhich take time to comprehend,
235 00:16:20 especially for you,聽Nicolini,who's already failed three times.
236 00:16:23 You're coming with me.
237 00:16:26 Sorry.
238 00:16:28 Excuse me. Sorry.
239 00:16:32 Do you know what these are?
240 00:16:34 Blue fingertips?
241 00:16:36 They took my fingerprints, Giorgio.
242 00:16:38 -They already had mine.-My fingerprints!
243 00:16:41 I'm applying for tenure in six months.
244 00:16:43 I can't take the examif I have a criminal record.
245 00:16:46 The evening didn't end well,that's why I'm here, to apologize.
246 00:16:50 Didn't end well? We were arrested!
247 00:16:52 Okay, it ended badly then. A tragedy.
248 00:16:55 But鈥?what happened before that鈥?264
249 00:17:00 -Giorgio, you live in your own world.-Don't you like it?
250 00:17:03 No, I don't,because it ends with getting arrested.
251 00:17:06 Because you live in your own world,but this world isn't all聽yours!
252 00:17:10 -You didn't build it like your car!-Then maybe I should.
253 00:17:13 Should what?
254 00:17:15 Build my own world.
255 00:17:17 Giorgio, it was a metaphor.
256 00:17:18 -Would you come?-You can't build a world!
257 00:17:21 -Maybe I can---No, you can't!
258 00:17:24 Because you're not a genius,even though you think you are!
259 00:17:28 You build toysthat keep getting you arrested.
260 00:17:33 And for a second, I nearly forgot that.
261 00:17:38 Goodbye, Giorgio.
262 00:18:04 THREE MONTHS LATER
263 00:19:01 One second 40.
264 00:19:02 One second 40 on the fourth lap?
265 00:19:05 -Are you sure?-Yes, sir.
266 00:19:07 What shitty tires did we put on?
267 00:19:08 Luca, we knew it was risky.
268 00:19:11 That's not a risk. That's goddamn suicide!
269 00:19:14 We must tell Bruno.
270 00:19:15 Change the strategy, go flat-out,either it works or it doesn't.
271 00:19:18 Flat-out from the fourth lap?
272 00:19:20 Either thator we get there half an hour later!
273 00:19:22 Hey, go to corner sevenand show this to Bruno.
274 00:19:25 What the hell are you waiting for?Hurry up! Go!
275 00:19:28 -Who the hell is that?-He's the new guy.
276 00:19:31 Battistini says he's a great engineer.
277 00:19:33 He looks like a moron to me.
278 00:20:28 OUR PLATFORMS, YOUR ENERGY, YOUR FREEDOM
279 00:21:21 Sir, I swear we wouldn't even dreamof going anywhere near your safe.
280 00:21:25 Angelo, I understand,
281 00:21:27 but this is聽the third time this yearthat money has gone missing
282 00:21:31 and it's only February.
283 00:21:32 Dad, don't worry about this.
284 00:21:35 I'll deal with it.
285 00:21:37 It's鈥?302
286 00:21:43 that you people, with your greed,
287 00:21:47 have caused to this company,to this family,
288 00:21:50 and to this righteous man.
289 00:21:52 This man who welcomed youin your time of need.
290 00:21:55 When you people,dressed only in desperation,
291 00:22:00 arrived herefrom your remote and wild lands.
292 00:22:04 And how did you repay him?
293 00:22:07 By stealing from the hand that fed you.
294 00:22:11 Mr. Maurizio,
295 00:22:13 there's no proof it was us.
296 00:22:16 Angelo.
297 00:22:18 Angelo, how can you saysomething like that?
298 00:22:21 In the safe, there werefive bills of 50,000 lire.
299 00:22:25 Now there are none,and the only Calabrians here鈥?
300 00:22:29 are you guys. Or am I wrong?
301 00:22:32 They've got some nerve鈥?319
302 00:22:44 I have to go now,
303 00:22:45 because we have a company to run,even though鈥?
304 00:22:49 it'll be more challengingfrom today because of you guys.
305 00:22:54 So we're building a platform.
306 00:22:56 We're making an island.
307 00:22:58 Okay, I get it,but in the shape of a platform.
308 00:23:00 It's an island!
309 00:23:01 Initially, I wanted to builda real one with sand and everything.
310 00:23:05 And I spent months trying to find a way.
311 00:23:08 But it's impossible, Maurizio.
312 00:23:10 But then鈥?331
313 00:23:14 An island made of steel.
314 00:23:16 -Steel!-Steel鈥?
315 00:23:17 Can you imagine? Our own island,where we can do what the hell we want.
316 00:23:22 Where we can live by our own rules.
317 00:23:24 So I won't have to workfor my dad anymore?
318 00:23:26 Of course not!
319 00:23:28 Because I hate this shipyard.Do you understand?
320 00:23:31 I hate smelling the stink of it every day.
321 00:23:33 The stink of the grease of the ships,the gas, the Calabrians.
322 00:23:36 Listen, do you thinkwe can have a bar too?
323 00:23:39 A bar where we can drinkwhat the hell we want?
324 00:23:41 Yes, of course.
325 00:23:43 Well, I wouldn't make itthe main attraction, but yes.
326 00:23:46 -Where do you want to build this island?-This is the best part.
327 00:23:50 Outside Italian territorial waters.
328 00:23:53 Where nobody can bust our balls.
329 00:23:55 And where is it? Is it far?
330 00:23:57 Wherever we want.
331 00:23:59 As long as it's six miles off the coast.
332 00:24:01 I was thinking here,
333 00:24:04 opposite Rimini.
334 00:24:05 Perfect.
335 00:24:06 Where do we start?
336 00:24:09 We look at how they build platforms.
337 00:24:47 So how do they do it?
338 00:24:49 Pillars of 34 with reinforcedconcrete foundations on the bedrock.
339 00:24:53 -How big are the foundations?-I don't know, they're big.
340 00:24:57 -What do you mean? 90, 150?-I don't know. I didn't measure them!
341 00:25:00 You go next time.
342 00:25:02 Come on, help me up.Hurry, before someone calls security.
343 00:25:06 Let's recap.One underwater concrete injector.
344 00:25:10 Then what? About 30 pillars?
345 00:25:12 Yes, about that.
346 00:25:13 Say we build them as thin as 90.
347 00:25:15 Then we need to hire ten skilled workers.
348 00:25:18 And even if we hire Calabrians,no insurance, no payroll taxes,
349 00:25:22 and we fire themwith a random excuse in the last week
350 00:25:25 and we pay them nothing,that's 100 million gone already.
351 00:25:29 If we got rid of the concrete?
352 00:25:31 We'd get down to 80,but the problem is transportation.
353 00:25:33 To move 30 pillars of 90 for six miles,we'd need a cargo boat.
354 00:25:39 If they were made of wood,we could float them there.
355 00:25:43 It can't be made of wood,it has to be steel.
356 00:25:46 I've been told steel doesn't float.
357 00:25:55 Well鈥?377
358 00:25:58 and by some weird magicthat I've never understood,
359 00:26:02 it does float.
360 00:26:11 So steel doesn't float,
361 00:26:14 but hollow steel does.
362 00:26:19 With hollow pillars,we solve the problem of transportation.
363 00:26:22 I get it, but how can we builda platform on hollow, empty pillars?
364 00:26:26 I never said empty.
365 00:26:28 Once they're in the right spot,
366 00:26:30 we open up one end,
367 00:26:32 and what happens?
368 00:26:34 It fills with water,
369 00:26:36 and it sinks to the bottom.
370 00:26:38 We'll build the islandwith filled pillars,
371 00:26:41 but filled with water.
372 00:26:54 I'll pay you back for the pillars.
373 00:26:56 Don't worry.For 700,000, I won't go hungry.
374 00:27:00 What, 700,000 lire?
375 00:27:03 Where did you get all that money?
376 00:27:05 I usually steal it from my father's safe.
377 00:27:08 -Doesn't he notice?-Of course he does. It's 700,000 lire.
378 00:27:12 I blame the Calabrians who work for him.
379 00:27:15 He reports them, or he fires them.I'm not sure.
380 00:27:17 I think this is it, here.Turn off the engine!
381 00:27:25 Here we are.
382 00:27:27 If my calculations are correct,
383 00:27:30 from this point on,
384 00:27:32 we are outside territorial waters.
385 00:27:35 We're no longer in Italy, Maurizio.
386 00:27:38 We're in international waters.
387 00:27:41 No one's in charge here!
388 00:27:45 Nobody can tell us what to do,
389 00:27:48 what not to do,and stuff like that, Maurizio.
390 00:27:52 We're free!
391 00:27:53 Maurizio!
392 00:27:55 Maurizio.
393 00:27:58 Hey, Maurizio.
394 00:28:00 Listen鈥?415
395 00:28:04 -I know.-We need to unplug the tubes.
396 00:28:07 It's one thing doing it in a bathtub,and quite another on the open sea.
397 00:28:10 Remember, lift up the slider,
398 00:28:14 and get away as quickly as you can.
399 00:28:16 -I got it. You told me a million times!-Because it's dangerous.
400 00:28:21 Can't you smell the freedom?
401 00:28:25 Not really, Maurizio.I can only smell some cheap herbal liquor.
402 00:28:29 You're already drunk at 8 a.m.?
403 00:28:31 Did you think I could do this sober?
404 00:28:35 I can't believe this.
405 00:28:38 By the way,
406 00:28:40 it's peach grappa.
407 00:28:42 I see.
408 00:28:47 Come on.
409 00:28:49 You go, man!
410 00:28:50 Be careful!
411 00:28:53 It's all in your hands now!
412 00:28:56 All in your hands!
413 00:28:58 Remember.
414 00:29:00 Remember, move away immediately.
415 00:29:03 Keep in mind all the steps.
416 00:29:07 Open the slider and get out of the way!
417 00:29:09 Move away immediately. Okay?
418 00:29:12 Do you hear me, Maurizio?
419 00:29:14 Can you hear me?
420 00:29:20 Can you hear me?
421 00:29:23 Of course not.
422 00:29:32 It's working!
423 00:29:43 No, Maurizio!
424 00:29:45 Why didn't you listen to me?I told you to move away immediately!
425 00:29:48 He never listens!He has to do things his way!
426 00:29:51 Look what's happened to him now!
427 00:29:53 Now I'm stranded here on the boat,in the middle of the sea!
428 00:29:57 Well done!
429 00:30:07 It works!
430 00:30:10 It works!
431 00:30:12 It's the best day of my life!I want to do it again! Come on!
432 00:30:23 So you two transported some pillars,
433 00:30:26 installed them on the seabed,built a 400-square-meter platform
434 00:30:32 and nobody said anything?
435 00:30:33 That's correct.
436 00:30:35 Not until we got the drill.
437 00:30:39 The drill?
438 00:30:41 Yes.
439 00:30:42 To look for drinking water.
440 00:30:44 To be an independent island,you need to have your own water.
441 00:30:48 So we had to drill.
442 00:30:55 Can't we turn this drill off?It's been three days. It's driving me mad!
443 00:30:59 Maurizio, water is essential!
444 00:31:02 If you're worriedabout the cost of the drill,
445 00:31:04 we'll have to budget better,counting the workers and all that.
446 00:31:09 Come on!We're not really going to pay them!
447 00:31:12 They're actually grateful to us.
448 00:31:14 They were this close to jail.They stole millions from my dad's safe!
449 00:31:19 Wasn't that you?
450 00:31:21 Not according to the prosecutor in Rimini.
451 00:31:24 Right.
452 00:31:26 What a pain. Turn it off for a second.And then we'll turn it back on.
453 00:31:31 You can't just flip a switch.
454 00:31:34 It's not a toaster.
455 00:31:35 Coastguard to鈥?/i>
456 00:31:38 unidentified island.
457 00:31:40 You're required to identify yourselves,and to immediately cease all activities.
458 00:31:46 No, we can't turn it off just like that.There's no switch!
459 00:31:50 Last warning.
460 00:31:51 The illegal occupation of public airwaves
461 00:31:54 is a criminal offense punishablewith immediate detention if in flagrante.
462 00:31:57 -Public airways?-He doesn't get it. Let me talk to him.
463 00:32:01 This is not鈥?485
464 00:32:06 And most importantly,we're not a radio. We're not.
465 00:32:10 No!
466 00:32:11 He thinks the drillis a transmitting antenna.
467 00:32:13 We're not transmitting.We don't use airwaves. It's just a drill.
468 00:32:17 We're looking for water.
469 00:32:20 We're looking for water.
470 00:32:22 Did he say they're looking for water?
471 00:32:24 Did he understand?
472 00:32:26 What do they mean?
473 00:32:30 Why are you looking for waterin the middle of the sea?
474 00:32:35 Well, because鈥?497
475 00:32:41 An independent statewith or without radio?
476 00:32:45 Without radio!
477 00:32:47 A state without radio.
478 00:32:49 Perfect.
479 00:32:50 Thanks for your cooperation.Have a nice day!
480 00:32:53 You too.
481 00:33:31 -More water?-I'm okay, thanks.
482 00:33:35 Let's goand take the Calabrians back to shore.
483 00:33:41 You know what?
484 00:33:43 I think I might stay here.
485 00:33:46 Here where?
486 00:33:47 Here, on the island.
487 00:33:49 We have everything.
488 00:33:50 We have water, coffee. We have everything.
489 00:33:54 And it's a beautiful, sunny day.
490 00:33:57 I'll spend my first night here.
491 00:33:59 Are you sure?
492 00:34:01 Why did we build an islandif we're not going to stay on it?
493 00:34:04 I'm definitely sure.
494 00:34:08 Anyway鈥?518
495 00:34:15 Shit. This is incredible.
496 00:34:24 Thank you, Maurizio.
497 00:34:27 Thank you.
498 00:34:34 Listen, better not to hugin front of the Calabrians.
499 00:34:37 Do you mind?
500 00:34:39 Yes, sure. You're right. Sorry.
501 00:36:55 Hey!
502 00:37:04 Hey!
503 00:37:07 What is that?
504 00:37:09 This is a free and independent island!We even have drinking water--
505 00:37:14 Okay, you can tell me later!Help me up, please!
506 00:37:18 Pietro Bernardini.
507 00:37:21 Officially, a welder.He'd been living on his boat for months,
508 00:37:26 and he becamethe first resident of the island.
509 00:37:32 -Was the first resident really a castaway?-Yes.
510 00:37:37 There appears to be another resident too.A stateless man of German origin
511 00:37:40 whose name is鈥?536
512 00:37:48 Neumann.
513 00:37:50 Wolfgang Rudy Neumann.
514 00:37:53 Correct.
515 00:37:54 Wolfgang Rudy Neumann.
516 00:38:07 Legend has it that in 1943,Neumann was forced to join the army
517 00:38:12 and was sent to Riminito defend the Gothic Line.
518 00:38:15 But as soon as he saw the beach,
519 00:38:16 he knew what he wanted to dowith his life.
520 00:38:19 Without even thinking about it,one night he runs away from his camp
521 00:38:22 and goes to the town hallto ask for a beach concession.
522 00:38:26 This is how the legendof Wolfgang Rudy Neumann was born,
523 00:38:30 the greatest promoteron the Romagna Riviera.
524 00:38:40 Rudy! Come here!
525 00:38:44 But at the end of the war,he was charged with desertion
526 00:38:48 and his German citizenship was revoked.
527 00:38:52 Yes, Peppe?
528 00:38:53 Did I ever tell youwhat my father did for a living?
529 00:38:56 -No, Peppe. You didn't.-He was a buffalo farmer.
530 00:38:59 And guess what buffalo smells of?
531 00:39:02 Cows?
532 00:39:03 Shit.
533 00:39:05 I went to the toilet earlier,and I was almost moved.
534 00:39:07 It reminded me of my childhood.
535 00:39:10 How many times do I have to tell youyou need to check them every 20 minutes,
536 00:39:14 and clean the shit off the floor,off the walls, off the sink,
537 00:39:18 and off the toilet seats?
538 00:39:20 Why do I have to do that?
539 00:39:21 Who's bringingall these people who shit here?
540 00:39:24 That's what I do, bring people to clubs.That's what you pay me for.
541 00:39:27 No, I pay you because I'm a benefactor.
542 00:39:30 If you don't like it,why don't you open your own beach club?
543 00:39:33 You know why. They only give permitsto Italian citizens.
544 00:39:36 Open one in Germany then.
545 00:39:38 I'm not a German citizen either.
546 00:39:41 So, buddy, off you go then.
547 00:39:50 Did you hear they're buildingan island off Rimini?
548 00:39:53 They're building an island?
549 00:39:55 Yeah, some crazy guy from Bologna.It's absurd.
550 00:39:58 What do they plan to do with it?
551 00:40:00 It's outside territorial waters,you can do what you want, apparently.
552 00:40:05 I tell you what,we can party big time there.
553 00:40:07 A round of applause to the best promoteron our Riviera, Rudy Neumann!
554 00:40:14 -I mean, you built all this by yourselves?-Yes, we did.
555 00:40:20 Why the hell did you do that?
556 00:40:22 For the same reasona dog licks his own balls.
557 00:40:28 I don't get it.
558 00:40:31 Because he can.
559 00:40:34 What do you mean?
560 00:40:36 A dog licks his own balls because he can.
561 00:40:39 We are engineers,we wanted to build an island,
562 00:40:42 we could do it, so we did it.
563 00:40:45 I don't get the balls thing,you lick your own balls--
564 00:40:48 No, we don't lick our balls.
565 00:40:50 It was a way of sayingwe wanted to create our own world
566 00:40:53 where we'd feel really free,and we did it. We built it.
567 00:40:57 Is that a naked man shaving?
568 00:40:59 Yes, his name is Pietro. He lives here.
569 00:41:03 On the island?
570 00:41:04 Yes, he's a castaway.He's not much of a talker but鈥?
571 00:41:07 I can only count three things here though.A semi-deserted island,
572 00:41:11 water that's almost fresh,and a half-naked castaway.
573 00:41:14 Not much of a free, new world.
574 00:41:16 Wait a minute,I can count three things too.
575 00:41:19 A German deserter,a promoter that nobody knows, and--
576 00:41:24 I can't even think of a third one.This guy comes in criticizing--
577 00:41:27 You don't do that.We don't have to welcome everyone.
578 00:41:30 These are the peoplewe should be welcoming.
579 00:41:32 Castaways, deserters鈥?605
580 00:41:37 He says this now,but he did all this for a girl.
581 00:41:40 -No, I didn't.-Yes, you did.
582 00:41:42 Does this place have a name?
583 00:41:48 BOAT TRIP TO THE NEW STEEL ISLAND
584 00:41:50 DEPARTS 10:30 EVERY MORNINGRETURNS 17:45
585 00:42:04 With Rudy Neumann, everything changed.
586 00:42:07 It was an incredible and instant success.
587 00:42:14 Rumors about a free, independent statespread like wildfire.
588 00:42:19 First along the Romagna Riviera,
589 00:42:21 then all across Italy.
590 00:42:23 In the end,people were arriving from all over Europe,
591 00:42:25 to see for themselveswhat sounded like a miracle.
592 00:42:43 And it also happened at the perfect time.
593 00:42:49 That was a year that made history.
594 00:42:52 And that everyone recallsjust by the last two numbers,
595 00:42:55 six and eight.
596 00:43:07 We didn't know muchabout the French riots of that May.
597 00:43:11 Except that they took to the streetsand set Paris on fire,
598 00:43:14 calling for a better world.
599 00:43:16 As for us, we actually builtthat "better world" ourselves.
600 00:43:20 Today, May 1st, 1968,
601 00:43:24 five hundred metersoutside territorial waters,
602 00:43:27 free from everything,we're making history!
603 00:43:31 Here, you are truly free!
604 00:43:39 Welcome to Rose Island!
605 00:43:55 We need a language.
606 00:43:58 What do you mean?
607 00:44:00 People come from all over Europe.
608 00:44:01 We need an official languagethat's not Italian
609 00:44:04 and not from another country.
610 00:44:06 A free international language.
611 00:44:10 I don't think it exists, unfortunately.
612 00:44:13 I believe it does.
613 00:44:17 ROSE ISLAND
614 00:44:27 THE MYSTERY OF THE ISLANDREVEALED IN RIMINI
615 00:44:30 THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IS ESPERANTO
616 00:44:31 For the press, we weremore important than national politics,
617 00:44:35 than student riots,and even the Vietnam War.
618 00:44:39 ROSE ISLANDRUDY NEUMANN TO BE THE NEW PROMOTER
619 00:45:29 Shit.
620 00:45:40 Are you leaving?
621 00:45:41 Yes. I'm pregnant.
622 00:45:44 Pregnant?
623 00:45:45 What do you mean "pregnant"?
624 00:45:47 Oh my God, how do I tell my mother?
625 00:45:51 It's not yours, idiot.We only met last night.
626 00:45:58 Here.
627 00:46:00 -Pietro, did you only get Cynar?-People love Cynar.
628 00:46:04 Okay, no doubt about that,but they might want something else too.
629 00:46:08 Can you hurry up?
630 00:46:09 I heard from the pier,they're expecting it to be packed today.
631 00:46:12 -How's it going with the bar?-He only got Cynar.
632 00:46:15 -I think people really love Cynar.-Maurizio?
633 00:46:18 Weren't you meantto go shopping with him?
634 00:46:21 I'm only marginally involvedin this project.
635 00:46:23 Please, don't start againwith the name story.
636 00:46:26 Yes, I will.
637 00:46:28 Because it was a beautifuland elegant name.
638 00:46:30 "Maurizio and Giorgio's island"wasn't beautiful nor elegant.
639 00:46:34 Yes, it was.There's a girl staring at you.
640 00:46:40 Oh, God.
641 00:46:42 One of you must go and talk to her.
642 00:46:44 -Tell her I died in Vietnam.-Hi.
643 00:46:47 Hi! Nice to see you. What a surprise!
644 00:46:49 I'm pregnant.
645 00:46:51 I have a certificate of sterilityissued during the war certifying that--
646 00:46:56 Look, I'm not sure it's yours.
647 00:47:00 What do you mean?
648 00:47:01 Well, there are several options.
649 00:47:03 That's not nice.
650 00:47:05 A girl shouldn't really go around saying--
651 00:47:07 I've heard this place is amazingbut the bar sucks.
652 00:47:11 I need a job. And it looks likeyou need a bar attendant.
653 00:47:47 -Get up.-What?
654 00:47:48 Come on, get up!
655 00:47:53 It's getting worse by the minute here.
656 00:47:55 The German's getting people to sign upfor an end-of-summer water-ski race.
657 00:47:59 Do you think that's normal?Was this the great idea we had?
658 00:48:03 Because if you're talking of a free world,I have a different view.
659 00:48:06 And what's that?
660 00:48:07 A big poker tournament.
661 00:48:10 -A gambling house?-No!
662 00:48:11 We'll play for shots. Shots of grappa.
663 00:48:14 If you lose, you drink,if you win, you drink,
664 00:48:17 and if anyone wants to play with money,we can't say no.
665 00:48:19 But that's not the point,just as long as we both agree.
666 00:48:22 I'll stop himbefore he collects money off people.
667 00:48:25 Let's talk about it later.聽Maurizio!
668 00:48:27 Hey!
669 00:48:53 That's the thing they do most often.
670 00:48:56 They throw their clothes away,shirts, ties, everything.
671 00:49:00 Not sure why, but many of them do that.
672 00:49:04 Is that your girlfriend?
673 00:49:06 Who?
674 00:49:08 That one there, the bar attendant.
675 00:49:12 Come on! She's pregnant.
676 00:49:14 Is it yours?
677 00:49:15 What? No!She doesn't know whose baby it is.
678 00:49:19 She doesn't care.She said there were a few options.
679 00:49:23 She symbolizes this place,a young, free-spirited, pregnant girl.
680 00:49:29 She wouldn't have founda job on the mainland, but here鈥?
681 00:49:34 You know, I'm happy to see you.I knew you'd come sooner or later.
682 00:49:38 -Everyone's talking about it in Rimini.-You should see this place at night.
683 00:49:43 You'd love it.
684 00:49:44 Are you staying tonight?
685 00:49:49 I'm getting married soon, Giorgio.
686 00:49:53 Married?
687 00:49:55 Come on!
688 00:49:56 You don't want to get married.
689 00:49:59 You belong in this worldmore than anyone else.
690 00:50:04 I'm not sure this qualifiesas a world, Giorgio.
691 00:50:08 It's more like a disco, a beach club.
692 00:50:12 It's not a disco.It's an independent state.
693 00:50:15 Free.
694 00:50:17 We even have drinking water.
695 00:50:19 -We have an official language.-Sure.
696 00:50:21 But I see people dancing, drinking,a cute girl bartender,
697 00:50:25 and it looks like a disco. That's all.
698 00:50:28 With the name in Esperanto.
699 00:50:30 It looks like that to you.
700 00:50:35 Right. Giorgio, I'm sorry but鈥?727
701 00:50:40 Take care.
702 00:50:50 Do you know how hard it isto bring all these people out here?
703 00:50:55 No, and you know why?
704 00:50:56 Because it isn't hardto bring people here!
705 00:50:59 The hard part was building this island!
706 00:51:01 And while we were building it,you were cleaning toilets.
707 00:51:04 I was the promoter there,
708 00:51:06 and I quit because two kidsbuilt a house on stilts in the sea
709 00:51:10 and didn't know what to do with it.I turned it into a dream place!
710 00:51:13 It was our dream, not yours!Don't forget that.
711 00:51:16 I won't let you turn this placeinto an illegal gambling den.
712 00:51:19 There's nothing illegal on this island.You need to understand that!
713 00:51:22 Water-skiing is for rich people.You can do it anywhere.
714 00:51:26 But poker's somethingyou can only do here.
715 00:51:28 -Because it's a crime in the real world!-Correct! But not here.
716 00:51:31 That's why we built an island.
717 00:51:33 -Giorgio, back me up here.-We built a disco.
718 00:51:37 We did what?
719 00:51:38 We built our little, free world,on our happy island鈥?
720 00:51:43 But what's all this for,
721 00:51:45 if they don't recognize usas an independent state?
722 00:51:49 Who's "they"?
723 00:51:52 Italy, Europe, the other states. Who else?
724 00:51:55 I disagree with that.Who cares if they recognize us or not?
725 00:51:58 If we wanted a state,we'd have rules, and we don't want that.
726 00:52:02 If they don't recognize us,
727 00:52:03 we'll just be a discoin the middle of the sea.
728 00:52:06 We already have everything.We have currency, we have stamps,
729 00:52:09 we have a postal service.
730 00:52:10 The only thing missing鈥?758
731 00:52:15 But we are the government.
732 00:52:18 I'll be the president.
733 00:52:20 Franca, the minister for economic affairs.
734 00:52:22 Pietro, surveillance and defense.
735 00:52:24 What's a surveillance ministry?
736 00:52:26 I said "surveillance and defense"for a reason.
737 00:52:28 You're the caretaker,you oversee rather than defend.
738 00:52:32 Rudy, secretary of state,Maurizio, internal affairs.
739 00:52:34 -I'm not sure that's a good idea.-Maurizio's right. It'll piss them off.
740 00:52:38 So what?
741 00:52:39 I feel like a minister.
742 00:52:42 I wonder how my folks will react.I usually give them bad news.
743 00:52:46 How exactly are we doing this?
744 00:53:21 UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS
745 00:54:51 COUNCIL OF MINISTERS
746 00:54:56 The idea is to increaseand strategically relocate
747 00:54:59 the military trucks in key spots
748 00:55:02 to send out a strong message.
749 00:55:04 Using the summertime to regain controlover the occupied universities.
750 00:55:08 Basically all of them, except one.
751 00:55:10 Only one left? Which one?
752 00:55:12 Luigi,
753 00:55:13 the military trucks again?
754 00:55:15 I know, Giovanni, but if you've noticed,
755 00:55:18 the students who went to lessonsand respected the teachers six months ago,
756 00:55:22 have suddenly turned into a mobdriven by hatred and violence.
757 00:55:25 Clearly, pollution is to blame,
758 00:55:28 excessive protein intake, and TV.
759 00:55:32 I happened to watch TV last night,and it was all about dismemberment,
760 00:55:36 monsters, people copulating.
761 00:55:38 All this on the main channel.Is that acceptable?
762 00:55:41 You must have watched The Odyssey.
763 00:55:43 The Odyssey?
764 00:55:44 Maybe. I fell asleep halfway through.
765 00:55:47 Okay, then鈥?794
766 00:55:50 If there are no other urgent matters,we'll update on Thursday.
767 00:55:54 Thank you.
768 00:55:59 Actually, Giovanni,talking about young people,
769 00:56:03 there is one thing鈥?799
770 00:56:08 Tell me, Franco.
771 00:56:09 We'll talk about it next time.Don't worry, it's not important.
772 00:56:14 Even better.Just tell us and we can go for lunch.
773 00:56:18 It's nothing鈥?804
774 00:56:22 there's this guy,with some friends in Rimini.
775 00:56:28 It's nothing really鈥?807
776 00:56:33 so just off Rimini.
777 00:56:36 What did he do?
778 00:56:37 He built an island,
779 00:56:39 and declared independence.
780 00:56:45 I didn't get that. Say it again.
781 00:56:47 It's nothing, Giovanni,it's no big deal. I told you.
782 00:56:50 In fact, while telling youand hearing myself saying it,
783 00:56:53 I actually realized
784 00:56:54 that it sounds more seriousthan it really is.
785 00:56:57 Some guys in Rimini,500 meters outside聽territorial waters,
786 00:57:02 built an island and declared independence.
787 00:57:17 Independence from whom?
788 00:57:19 From Italy, I believe. From everyone.They're independent鈥?
789 00:57:23 An island, though from what I gather,it's more like a platform.
790 00:57:28 "From what I gather"?
791 00:57:30 Giovanni, please,let's not make a drama out of nothing.
792 00:57:34 -And how did they build this platform?-I don't know.
793 00:57:36 -And how long did it take?-Giovanni--
794 00:57:38 -How long did it take?-I don't know.
795 00:57:40 An adequate amount of timenecessary to build something like that.
796 00:57:44 Why are we just finding out about it?
797 00:57:47 Maybe because the local authority,
798 00:57:49 considering it's outsideterritorial waters,
799 00:57:52 might have believed it wasn't their--
800 00:57:54 I'm sorry,
801 00:57:56 but how did you find out?
802 00:57:58 Well鈥?this maybe is the only detail
803 00:58:01 that makes this seeminglyinsignificant event, a little more serious
804 00:58:06 because basically, we were told by鈥?837
805 00:58:15 -The UN called us?-That's why I didn't want to tell you.
806 00:58:18 Giovanni, we're making a big fuss,that's what we're doing,聽about a prank--
807 00:58:23 I'm sorry, Franco, the UN called us,and you say it's a prank!
808 00:58:27 Who's our man at the UN? Who's there?
809 00:58:29 Randelli.
810 00:58:30 Randelli died last year!
811 00:58:31 What's the name of the officerwho called you?
812 00:58:34 I don't think it was an officer, Giovanni.
813 00:58:36 Good. Maybe it was a secretary.
814 00:58:38 Secretary, yes, I mean鈥?848
815 00:58:44 Secretary-General of the United Nations.
816 00:58:49 When did this happen?
817 00:58:50 Two days ago.
818 00:58:51 What the hell have you been doingfor two days?
819 00:58:53 I immediately sent outtwo of our best intelligence officers.
820 00:58:57 Good. Where's their report?
821 00:59:00 We haven't heard from them鈥?856
822 00:59:05 By law, in eight hours' time
823 00:59:06 we have to notify the familiesby telegram.
824 00:59:18 Good morning, gentlemen. So鈥?860
825 00:59:25 -They're alive then.-Yes, I'd say so.
826 00:59:27 They'll regret they are.
827 00:59:32 Agent, I hope you have a valid explanationfor your disgraceful behavior.
828 00:59:39 -I cheated on my wife!-Agent, pull yourself together.
829 00:59:42 The situation's taken a bad turn.
830 00:59:44 Please, don't tell her.I love her so much!
831 00:59:47 -Wait!-Minister, Agent Piazza here.
832 00:59:50 The island's inhabitants' top priorityis the custom of adding fruit to wine,
833 00:59:56 then drinking the wine鈥?/i>
834 00:59:57 Agent Piazza, it's called sangria.In Spain, they've been doing it for ages.
835 01:00:01 Agent Piazza, I'm fairly sure
836 01:00:04 that you're talking toan Italian minister while drunk!
837 01:00:08 It's the minister.
838 01:00:09 Return to Rome immediatelywith a detailed report.
839 01:00:12 Or you will have to face a court-martialwith accusations of high treason.
840 01:00:30 After foreign affairs, onto lifestyle.
841 01:00:33 Or rather, we're still on foreign affairsbut we'll focus on the "life in style."
842 01:00:37 That fun play on wordsis the perfect introduction
843 01:00:42 to what seems to have becomethe main attraction on Rimini's shores,
844 01:00:46 Rose Island.
845 01:00:49 The founder, Giorgio Rosa,talks about utopia and freedom.
846 01:00:54 But what is being hidden on the island?
847 01:00:57 Drugs?
848 01:00:58 Moral degeneration?
849 01:01:00 Gambling?
850 01:01:02 We talk to Franco Restivo,Minister of Internal Affairs.
851 01:01:07 This so-called Rose Island,
852 01:01:10 absolutely cannot and should notbe considered as an independent state.
853 01:01:16 Is it true that the UNhas started an investigation
854 01:01:18 on the basis that there might be groundsfor a claim for independence?
855 01:01:22 No. That investigationdoes not concern us.
856 01:01:26 The Italian State will absolutelynot tolerate a lawless platform
857 01:01:32 where the safety of our citizenscannot be guaranteed.
858 01:01:36 They may be in international waters,but they are Italian citizens,
859 01:01:40 and their safety is our main concern.
860 01:01:48 What's this?
861 01:01:49 Letters. Applications for citizenship.
862 01:01:52 The minister has unwillinglyput us on the map.
863 01:01:54 The requests come from all over the world!
864 01:01:57 Now everyone knows who we are.
865 01:01:58 And they want to become citizensof Rose Island.
866 01:02:11 -God bless the president!-Come on, get up.
867 01:02:14 -You're amazing!-Thanks.
868 01:02:18 So how's it going?
869 01:02:21 Sorry I'm late.
870 01:02:22 President?
871 01:02:24 Yes, Dad, but they're hippies.They're over the top.
872 01:02:29 -Have you ordered yet?-We were waiting for you.
873 01:02:31 Okay, here I am. Waiter!
874 01:02:34 What's fresh today?
875 01:02:36 Our usual catch of the day,
876 01:02:38 and a fantastic lobsterthat can be served a number of ways.
877 01:02:41 Great! Lobster for everybody?
878 01:02:43 Half a portion of tagliolini.
879 01:02:47 Half a portion of tagliolini? Dad?
880 01:02:50 Yes, half a portion of tagliolini.
881 01:02:53 Don't worry about money, you're my guests.
882 01:02:56 -Half a portion---He'd like half a portion of tagliolini.
883 01:02:58 So two lobstersand half a portion of tagliolini.
884 01:03:01 Good. Thank you.
885 01:03:04 -Thanks. You look good, Mom.-Thanks.
886 01:03:07 Is it legal, Giorgio?
887 01:03:10 The money you're earning, is it legal?
888 01:03:13 What do you mean legal?
889 01:03:16 We're an independent state,close to being recognized by the UN,
890 01:03:20 we get to decide what is legal.
891 01:03:22 Nobody gets to saywhat is legal for themselves.
892 01:03:24 Dad, we're doing nothing wrong.
893 01:03:26 Don't believe the newspapers.
894 01:03:30 Why don't you come after lunch?
895 01:03:32 It's just 20 minutes by boat.
896 01:03:34 We can go together,and you can see what we do.
897 01:03:38 Did I tell you I patenteda telescopic pillar system to build it?
898 01:03:43 You'd love it.
899 01:03:45 Are you coming?
900 01:03:48 Your mom has a nap after lunch,we'd better not.
901 01:04:00 Okay.
902 01:04:02 Maybe another time.
903 01:04:28 Aren't your folks coming?
904 01:04:31 My mom needs a rest after lunch.
905 01:04:33 Don't take it personally.
906 01:04:35 It's hard for them to understandwhat we're doing.
907 01:04:42 Mr. Rosa, right?
908 01:04:44 We're about to leave. We're in a hurry.
909 01:04:47 Yes, that's me.
910 01:04:48 You need to talk toour foreign relations representative.
911 01:04:51 Mr. Rosa, we need to talk to you.
912 01:04:53 -I was just saying that you need to---That's okay.
913 01:04:57 Let's go.
914 01:04:59 Meet me at the boat. I'll be right back.
915 01:05:03 Mr. Rosa, do you know who we are?
916 01:05:06 -Funeral service?-We're from the Secret Service.
917 01:05:09 I know. It was a joke.
918 01:05:12 Haven't we met before?
919 01:05:14 I've spent about 40 hours on the island.
920 01:05:17 I remember,you're the one who lost his pinkie.
921 01:05:19 Not really.
922 01:05:21 I didn't actually bet my pinkie.
923 01:05:24 It was a memorable game!
924 01:05:27 You must immediately ceaseall activities on the island.
925 01:05:32 Which activities?
926 01:05:33 Our report suggeststhat you have a bar managed by a minor,
927 01:05:37 and you host card games.
928 01:05:40 So what?
929 01:05:41 Aren't those menplaying cards in a bar too?
930 01:05:44 Why can't we do it?
931 01:05:46 It's different what happens hereunder the watchful eye of the authorities.
932 01:05:50 Oh, I see! It's about "the watchful eye."
933 01:05:53 Listen, Giorgio,what the major is trying to say
934 01:05:56 is that we appreciateyour sociological experiment,
935 01:05:59 but as with all experiments,it must end now.
936 01:06:02 What must end?
937 01:06:03 Beach clubs permits are being renewedat the end of the month.
938 01:06:06 And the major here has power of attorney.
939 01:06:09 See this briefcase?
940 01:06:10 It contains paperswhich guarantee that you,
941 01:06:13 who's sitting here owning nothing,
942 01:06:16 end up with two beach clubsof your choice.
943 01:06:19 It'd set you upfor the next three generations.
944 01:06:23 You said it yourself,you do the same things there,
945 01:06:26 bar, card games鈥?You just do it here and not on the sea.
946 01:06:29 What's the difference?
947 01:06:30 None, except for the permitswe'll give you.
948 01:06:33 You might say,"I don't pay goddamn taxes there."
949 01:06:36 Do you think anyone does here?Come on, Giorgio.
950 01:06:48 What the hell鈥?987
951 01:06:56 I'm trying to save your goddamn island!
952 01:07:00 Attention, please, everyone.
953 01:07:03 Mr. President, may I say it?
954 01:07:05 As you wish.
955 01:07:06 Okay. As you know, tonight,we kept the island to ourselves
956 01:07:10 for a special Council of Ministers,
957 01:07:12 as special as the newsI'm about to give you.
958 01:07:14 Our President, Giorgio Rosa,has finally agreed,
959 01:07:19 that from tomorrow the islandwill officially be able聽to grant
960 01:07:22 citizenship to all applicants.
961 01:07:25 What are you clapping for?That wasn't the news. Stop!
962 01:07:28 That wasn't the news,just an official communication.
963 01:07:32 The real news isthat we have printed the first passport,
964 01:07:38 and we have agreed to assign it
965 01:07:40 to the one among uswho has never owned one. So鈥?
966 01:07:44 Rudy, this is for you.
967 01:07:48 Now, this calls for a round of applause.Come on, guys!
968 01:07:52 -Well done, Neumann!-GIve me a hug.
969 01:08:03 We're hoping thatwith the increased military presence,
970 01:08:07 things will settle.
971 01:08:08 We're hopingto regain control of the universities,
972 01:08:11 since there's only one left.
973 01:08:13 I know. These are hard times.
974 01:08:15 But you shouldn't worry,you're doing a great job,
975 01:08:19 and we're all very happy here.
976 01:08:23 Thank you, Emanuele.
977 01:08:24 Well, Giovanni,
978 01:08:26 I'll see you again in two weeks, as usual.
979 01:08:29 -Sure.-Try to rest a little.
980 01:08:32 You're looking a little gray.
981 01:08:35 I could really do with a vacation.
982 01:08:41 Don't forget this.
983 01:08:43 Excuse me, Giovanni,
984 01:08:44 since you're here,there's something I'd like to mention.
985 01:08:48 Especially considering the exposurethat it's getting in the tabloids.
986 01:08:53 ROSE ISLANDA SMALL STATE OFF RIMINI
987 01:08:56 Look, Emanuele, we're working on it.
988 01:08:59 I'm sure you are, but times have changed.
989 01:09:02 I used to be able to filter the news,
990 01:09:06 but now our Holy Fatherwants to be informed first-hand.
991 01:09:10 He reads all the papersfirst thing in the morning.
992 01:09:13 I caught this oneand removed it from the stack,
993 01:09:18 but had he seen this,it would've gotten ugly.
994 01:09:21 Giovanni,
995 01:09:23 this is a bare ass.
996 01:09:25 Do you get it, Giovanni,an ass in the newspaper.
997 01:09:28 You tell me if you think this is okay.
998 01:09:31 Of course not, but my dear Emanuele,
999 01:09:34 we don't really wantto start a case about an ass.
1000 01:09:37 It's not about the ass itself,
1001 01:09:39 which I think is well-proportioned, nice,but what the ass represents.
1002 01:09:44 An ass on an island where,from what I gather,
1003 01:09:48 you can do what you want.
1004 01:09:50 Do you get it, Giovanni?An ass and everything you want.
1005 01:09:54 Giovanni,
1006 01:09:56 with an ass, can you do anything you want?
1007 01:10:02 No. I'll tell you. You can't.
1008 01:10:06 Otherwise, this countrywould be out of our control.
1009 01:10:09 Sure.
1010 01:10:13 The truth is,they're outside our territorial waters.
1011 01:10:17 -So outside of our jurisdiction.-Like I said, it's just a small issue.
1012 01:10:50 Where's Franco?
1013 01:10:55 What the hell are these?
1014 01:11:00 My dear Giovanni, I wasn't expecting you.
1015 01:11:03 Had you told me,we could have met at the cafe.
1016 01:11:06 It's so messy here.
1017 01:11:08 -What the hell are these letters?-Nothing鈥?
1018 01:11:10 Requests to relinquishItalian nationality, Mr. President,
1019 01:11:13 in favor of Rose Island.
1020 01:11:15 No, not really.I mean, it doesn't work like that.
1021 01:11:19 They can't just write inand we cancel their citizenship.
1022 01:11:21 It's not a subscription toFamiglia Cristiana that you just cancel.
1023 01:11:24 And most of the lettersare written in such poor Italian!
1024 01:11:28 -Don't waste---How many are there?
1025 01:11:29 About 300. The German Consulate called,and they've received about 100,
1026 01:11:34 France 30, and the US four.
1027 01:11:36 Just four in the States, Giovanni.They don't give a damn about them.
1028 01:11:39 They flopped over there.
1029 01:11:41 Franco, I've had enough of this shit.
1030 01:11:44 The letters, parliamentary interrogations,asses that can't do what they want.
1031 01:11:50 -Asses what?-You have to fix this now.
1032 01:11:53 Even if you have to swim therewith a screwdriver between your teeth
1033 01:11:56 to unscrew that goddamn platformbit by bit!
1034 01:12:01 Franco, we've knowneach other for 30 years,
1035 01:12:04 but you've never seen me truly pissed off.
1036 01:12:08 Tell me you understand.
1037 01:12:10 I understand, Giovanni. I do.
1038 01:12:27 Rosa!
1039 01:12:29 Rosa!
1040 01:12:32 It's Battistini.
1041 01:12:34 He wants to talk to you.
1042 01:13:13 Nothing. It's going to rain tomorrow too.
1043 01:13:16 We have to start building the rooffor the second floor as soon as we can.
1044 01:13:21 And then we have to extend the canopy.
1045 01:13:24 Giorgio, are you listening?
1046 01:13:26 Did you think about heating?
1047 01:13:28 It's important.We'll freeze to death in a month.
1048 01:13:30 We have to find a solution.
1049 01:13:32 Rudy鈥?What do you think?
1050 01:13:34 Well鈥?I don't know, guys.
1051 01:13:37 An island is a summer place.
1052 01:13:39 In my experience,it's hard to attract guests in the autumn.
1053 01:13:42 What do you mean it's hard?This is an independent state.
1054 01:13:46 We can't shut down for the season.We have citizens now.
1055 01:13:49 What about you, Franca? What do you think?
1056 01:13:51 I'm almost six months pregnant.I don't know how much longer I can stay.
1057 01:13:55 We've been talking aboutour first natural-born citizen for months!
1058 01:13:59 The midwife said she won't come.She says it's too dangerous.
1059 01:14:02 She can't be bothered, more like.
1060 01:14:05 -Don't worry. I'll find someone else.-You, Pietro?
1061 01:14:08 What are your plans?
1062 01:14:10 Come on,what kind of plans can Pietro have?
1063 01:14:13 Come on, guys.
1064 01:14:14 Let's try to be a bit positive.Being negative doesn't help.
1065 01:14:18 What did they offer you?
1066 01:14:19 So the roof--
1067 01:14:23 What did you say?
1068 01:14:25 What did they offer you?
1069 01:14:37 Wait a minute,
1070 01:14:39 am I the only onewho wasn't offered anything?
1071 01:14:41 -Enough, Maurizio.-What do you mean "Enough, Maurizio"?
1072 01:14:44 You knew about this and didn't tell me?What did they offer you?
1073 01:14:49 You're using the baby excuse,but what did they offer you?
1074 01:14:52 You even had the guts to make up excuses.What were you offered?
1075 01:15:25 -Hi, Mom.-Hi.
1076 01:15:44 I've never watched daytime TV.
1077 01:15:48 I'm sorry, Dad.
1078 01:15:50 It's my fault.
1079 01:15:53 I didn't think they'd go this far.
1080 01:15:59 What did they offer you?
1081 01:16:04 Two beach clubs鈥?1119
1082 01:16:10 Two beach clubs.
1083 01:16:15 We made all those sacrificesto pay for your education鈥?
1084 01:16:19 and now you're going to bea beach club manager.
1085 01:16:25 There's always a timewhen you have to say yes.
1086 01:16:30 Isn't there?
1087 01:16:32 That's what you say.
1088 01:16:39 They said my performance was belowthe standard expected by the company.
1089 01:16:46 I've never taken an extra day off,
1090 01:16:49 and I haven't called in sickin five years.
1091 01:16:53 I've always done what I was asked to do.
1092 01:17:02 Say no, Giorgio.
1093 01:17:06 Say no this time too.
1094 01:17:35 Excuse me. I'm really sorry.
1095 01:17:39 Excuse me. I beg your pardon.
1096 01:17:42 Excuse me. I'm sorry.
1097 01:17:47 Could you move over?
1098 01:17:49 Could you move over?It's urgent. I have to鈥?Sorry.
1099 01:17:52 I'm really sorry.
1100 01:17:55 Thank you. Sorry.
1101 01:17:57 I'm really sorry. Thank you.
1102 01:17:59 What are you doing here?
1103 01:18:01 I've been looking for you. Where were you?
1104 01:18:03 Do you know Carlo,the man I'm about to marry?
1105 01:18:05 Carlo! Nice to meet you. I'm Giorgio.
1106 01:18:08 Gabriella's told me all about you.
1107 01:18:10 Carlo. Nice to meet you.
1108 01:18:12 -What's up, sweetheart?-Nothing, don't worry.
1109 01:18:16 Listen, it's not a disco.
1110 01:18:18 It's not a disco at all.It's a real state, a free one.
1111 01:18:21 So real that they're now attacking us.
1112 01:18:23 So now you have to fight my case.
1113 01:18:26 Okay. Sorry, honey. I'll be right back.
1114 01:18:29 Let's go.
1115 01:18:32 -I'm sorry, it's an urgent matter.-Excuse us, please. Sorry.
1116 01:18:37 You shouldn't have written to the UN.You pissed them off.
1117 01:18:40 I wanted to provethat we are a free and independent state.
1118 01:18:44 Yes, you're free geographically,
1119 01:18:45 but an Italian citizen remains soeven outside territorial waters.
1120 01:18:49 Not if they choose otherwise.
1121 01:18:51 That's why we started issuing passports.
1122 01:18:54 That's exactly the point.
1123 01:18:55 You could be rightbut they'd never admit it
1124 01:18:58 as it could set a dangerous precedent.
1125 01:19:00 So? Who can help me?
1126 01:19:03 I don't know, maybe a priest.
1127 01:19:05 Come on! There must be someone,a judge, an agency, I don't know.
1128 01:19:09 A bloody King Solomonwho deals with cases like these!
1129 01:19:12 The Council of Europe in Strasbourghandles disputes between states.
1130 01:19:15 Perfect, let's go then.
1131 01:19:18 Where?
1132 01:19:19 To Strasbourg!
1133 01:19:20 Giorgio, private citizenscannot go to the Council of Europe.
1134 01:19:23 But I have a state,and I'm going with my lawyer, you.
1135 01:19:27 International law is your field.
1136 01:19:31 I'm offering youthe adventure of a lifetime.
1137 01:19:33 To save an independent state.
1138 01:19:37 Will you come?
1139 01:19:40 Giorgio鈥?1178
1140 01:20:09 IMPOUNDED VEHICLE
1141 01:21:01 And so鈥?/i>
1142 01:21:03 I ended up here.
1143 01:21:05 "And so I ended up here."
1144 01:21:16 Is that all?
1145 01:21:20 Yes.
1146 01:21:26 Thank you.
1147 01:21:53 Major, accept my congratulationson behalf of the Italian people.
1148 01:21:57 It wasn't an easy task.
1149 01:21:59 Thank you, Minister.
1150 01:22:01 How much did it cost us?
1151 01:22:04 They're four poor souls, sir.
1152 01:22:06 We got away with a bar,one club permit, one passport,
1153 01:22:09 and a sailing boat.
1154 01:22:11 And what about what's his name, Orlandi?
1155 01:22:14 Maurizio Orlandi.
1156 01:22:16 He's an alcoholic. All he does is drink.It's pointless talking to people like him.
1157 01:22:21 Well done, Major.
1158 01:22:31 Why are you whispering?
1159 01:22:33 To avoid bothering you, sir.
1160 01:22:35 Whispering bothers me.What did you tell him?
1161 01:22:38 Nothing important, Minister.
1162 01:22:41 No鈥?I don't like the face you pulled.What did he tell you?
1163 01:22:48 Giorgio Rosa鈥?1203
1164 01:23:00 It doesn't mean anything, sir.
1165 01:23:02 He's just sightseeing.They don't see private citizens.
1166 01:23:05 The Council of Europe decided to see himafter he spent a week in the lobby.
1167 01:23:10 They called an emergency meeting,and Giorgio Rosa gave his version.
1168 01:23:19 Fine.
1169 01:23:34 It's incredible.I don't know how you did it.
1170 01:23:37 You told an incredible story.
1171 01:23:39 Whatever the outcome,this will go down in history.
1172 01:23:44 You have no ideawhat is about to happen here today.
1173 01:23:48 Translate.
1174 01:23:49 They will start a dossier on it,and they will review the case. Go on.
1175 01:23:53 Basically, the Council of Europewill deliberate on your island.
1176 01:23:57 It went well?
1177 01:23:58 Can someone please answer the phone?
1178 01:24:01 So, Giorgio,you should not let your guard down.
1179 01:24:06 Maybe we should talkto some legal experts.
1180 01:24:08 Can someone answer the phone?
1181 01:24:12 Hello?
1182 01:24:16 Yes.
1183 01:24:24 Mr. Tom脿.
1184 01:24:25 It's urgent.
1185 01:24:26 Not now, get a message. I'll call back.
1186 01:24:29 No鈥?It's the Italian Ministerof Internal Affairs.
1187 01:24:45 It's not for you.
1188 01:24:47 He wants to talk to Mr. Rosa.
1189 01:25:21 Hello?
1190 01:25:22 When I was a boy,
1191 01:25:25 I had one passion:
1192 01:25:28 cycling.
1193 01:25:29 I was able to perfectly combine
1194 01:25:32 my political activitywith some decent results
1195 01:25:35 in some local cycling competitions.
1196 01:25:39 Then suddenly, I had to quit.
1197 01:25:43 In 1947, I quit cycling for good,
1198 01:25:48 because鈥?1239
1199 01:25:53 myself and some 551 poor idiots,
1200 01:25:58 had to write
1201 01:26:00 a list of numbered sentences,
1202 01:26:04 which would becomethe foundation of this republic
1203 01:26:08 which was about to be born.
1204 01:26:10 You have to think of everything, you know.
1205 01:26:13 Consider all variables.
1206 01:26:15 If you get one wrong, it all falls apart,
1207 01:26:18 and the freedomwe had fought so hard for, will vanish.
1208 01:26:25 Reading those little sentences today,
1209 01:26:28 I believe we got our odds right.
1210 01:26:32 And you,
1211 01:26:33 you insignificant piece of shit,
1212 01:26:39 would like to be the exceptionto that perfect calculation?
1213 01:26:43 You talk about freedom,but yours is a conditional freedom.
1214 01:26:47 Absolute freedom simply scares you.
1215 01:26:50 You don't hate me for what I've done,but for what I could do.
1216 01:26:55 I'm outside territorial waters.It doesn't concern you.
1217 01:27:00 You act like a big man,but then you write to the UN,
1218 01:27:03 and you go to the Council of Europe.
1219 01:27:05 I'd say you're not really an anarchistif you need someone to acknowledge you.
1220 01:27:11 You've built a 400-square-meter-platform
1221 01:27:15 with four idiotsand you think that's a state?
1222 01:27:19 But you haven't got the slightest ideaof what it takes
1223 01:27:23 to secure the freedom
1224 01:27:25 of 40 million people.
1225 01:27:27 I won't take lessonsfrom someone who had a man fired
1226 01:27:30 after 30 years just to intimidate me!
1227 01:27:33 Do yourself a favor, get away from there.
1228 01:27:36 Save yourself the humiliation.
1229 01:27:38 You're on your own,and you haven't a hope.
1230 01:27:40 The Council of Europehas just agreed to examine my case,
1231 01:27:44 and the consultationsstart tomorrow morning.
1232 01:27:47 Stock up with lawyers, asshole,because this story has just started.
1233 01:27:53 And you can't stop me.
1234 01:27:54 All right, dickhead.
1235 01:27:57 You founded a state? So did I.
1236 01:27:59 But do you know the differencebetween our two states?
1237 01:28:02 I have an arsenal that can blow upyour shitty island to pieces!
1238 01:28:07 Run back to Rimini quickly,
1239 01:28:08 or you'll missthe best fireworks you'll ever see!
1240 01:28:24 I have to go back to Rimini.
1241 01:28:27 The Council will meet in two days.
1242 01:28:29 There might not be an island in two days!
1243 01:29:06 Assault squad ready in 15 minutes.
1244 01:29:09 Instructions to follow.
1245 01:29:11 This is not a drill.I repeat, this is not a drill.
1246 01:29:15 Assault squad ready in 15 minutes.This is not a drill.
1247 01:29:29 Let's be honest,
1248 01:29:32 today's modern weddings always endwith a gift of "The Hunter" to the guests.
1249 01:29:37 The one you're holding
1250 01:29:39 is the crown jewelof the '68-'69 collection,
1251 01:29:42 "The Hunter and his Bloodhounds."
1252 01:29:44 We also have the basic versionwithout the bloodhounds.
1253 01:29:48 Sure, it'll save you some money,
1254 01:29:51 but it's less elegant and symbolic.
1255 01:29:53 What shall we do, sweetheart?
1256 01:30:11 What's this?
1257 01:30:12 It's a replica of Rose Island in silver.
1258 01:30:15 Just a souvenir,we sell lots of them to tourists.
1259 01:30:19 If you like it,we also have it in wrought iron.
1260 01:30:35 Hello, Mom?
1261 01:30:37 Were you sleeping?
1262 01:30:40 Yes, sure. It's 11 p.m. I'm sorry.
1263 01:30:43 No, nothing.
1264 01:30:45 It was just to tell you I'm fine.
1265 01:30:48 I'm on the freeway.I'm coming back to Rimini.
1266 01:30:51 I've been to France.Do you remember? For the island issue.
1267 01:30:57 It's actually going really well.
1268 01:31:00 Tomorrow they're going to meet to deci--
1269 01:31:04 Yes, Mom. I ate.
1270 01:31:06 Yes, I had a sandwich at the gas station.
1271 01:31:09 Yes, they make sandwiches.
1272 01:31:11 They stuff them with things.
1273 01:31:15 I'm fine, Mom. I鈥?1315
1274 01:31:23 No, don't wake him up.
1275 01:31:26 It's fine.
1276 01:31:28 Give him my love.
1277 01:31:31 Bye, Mom. Goodnight.
1278 01:32:03 Can it fit two people?
1279 01:32:10 I mean the boat. Can it fit two people?
1280 01:32:13 "Boat"鈥?1323
1281 01:32:19 It was just my way of sayingI'm coming with you.
1282 01:32:24 With me?
1283 01:32:26 Okay.
1284 01:32:27 I called Strasbourg.They said there was a problem.
1285 01:32:30 Your mom said you were heading back.I thought you'd be here.
1286 01:32:33 Can you hurry?
1287 01:32:34 -I see鈥?I couldn't understa---Can you hurry up?
1288 01:32:38 -Sorry, but---No. Clearly, I'm not getting married.
1289 01:32:41 Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.But please, don't make me regret it.
1290 01:33:11 It's strange seeing it so empty.
1291 01:33:17 And yet they hate it, even if it's empty.
1292 01:33:22 What do you think they'll do?
1293 01:33:27 I don't know, Giorgio.
1294 01:33:29 Something to prove their point,a symbolic act, you know.
1295 01:33:36 Thanks for being here with me.
1296 01:33:47 You know, now it doesn't鈥?1340
1297 01:33:52 like a disco.
1298 01:33:55 Finally, you admit it!
1299 01:33:58 It took a long time!
1300 01:33:59 Is it true what they say?
1301 01:34:04 What do they say?
1302 01:34:07 That you did all this for me.
1303 01:34:11 That I did all this for you?
1304 01:34:15 If we really want to go backto the genesis of the idea,
1305 01:34:20 it's a type of concept,a search for absolute freedom.
1306 01:34:25 So it's always--
1307 01:35:27 So much for a symbolic act.
1308 01:35:51 An honor to have you, Admiral.The ships are in position.
1309 01:35:53 Civilians on the island?
1310 01:35:55 Two. Giorgio Rosaand an unidentified girl.
1311 01:35:57 Perfect. We'll wait for Rometo green-light the attack.
1312 01:36:00 Let's get moving. Load the cannons.I want to be home for dinner.
1313 01:36:04 Here's the bar.As you can see, it's already equipped.
1314 01:36:07 This year the licenses are on hold,
1315 01:36:09 but you could turn itinto a restaurant in the future.
1316 01:36:12 Now, if you can sign here,so I can get back to City Hall.
1317 01:36:16 It's so busy today.
1318 01:36:19 You'll have to tell mehow you got the permit so quickly.
1319 01:36:23 It's been on hold for years.
1320 01:36:27 What's going on today?
1321 01:36:29 They say they're blowing up聽Rose Island.
1322 01:36:33 If you could please sign now.I need to leave.
1323 01:37:01 Good morning, everyone, here we are.
1324 01:37:04 The showdownbetween the Italian government
1325 01:37:06 and what is known as Rose Island鈥?1370
1326 01:37:11 Will Italy have its own Bay of Pigs?
1327 01:37:12 We're in front of Rose Island鈥?1373
1328 01:37:32 "Seaside government."
1329 01:37:36 We worked 20 hours a day,including Sundays,
1330 01:37:38 and here, it looks likewe were lying on a beach sunbathing
1331 01:37:41 and eating spaghetti with clams.
1332 01:37:43 What can I say, Giovanni?
1333 01:37:45 We always complainthis is a country with a short memory.
1334 01:37:48 At least this time it's in our favor.
1335 01:37:50 Look, I just need a quick signature.
1336 01:38:00 Is this a joke?
1337 01:38:02 Sorry, but I'm the onewho invented the end-of-term prank.
1338 01:38:06 I'll even tell you when.Four years ago, when Aldo resigned.
1339 01:38:09 We brought him a declaration of waron Albania. You should've seen his face.
1340 01:38:15 We had a blast.Giulio cried with laughter.
1341 01:38:18 Who聽are we bombing this time?
1342 01:38:20 Rose Island, Giovanni.It must be destroyed.
1343 01:38:22 And how are you planning to do that?With surface-to-air missiles?
1344 01:38:25 I gave orders to arm the Andrea Doria.
1345 01:38:28 I just need your signature for the attack.
1346 01:38:38 You deployed a battleship from Venice?
1347 01:38:41 Are you crazy?
1348 01:38:42 Giovanni, you told me to fix the issueby any means necessary.
1349 01:38:46 I asked you to solve a problem,not to bomb the island.
1350 01:38:51 And to be honest,
1351 01:38:52 do you know what the best thingabout an outgoing government is?
1352 01:38:55 That it's no longer our problem.
1353 01:38:57 After all, it's聽just an island,a summer place.
1354 01:38:59 If they open again in June,it'll be the next government's problem.
1355 01:39:02 Who cares?
1356 01:39:04 Giorgio Rosa appealedto the European Council.
1357 01:39:07 And they agreed to look into his case.
1358 01:39:09 Do you know what that means?
1359 01:39:11 If they accept his appeal,the island will be a fully-fledged state,
1360 01:39:15 just steps away from the communists.
1361 01:39:18 And am I supposed to sign an act of war?
1362 01:39:21 Giovanni, we are the only ones leftwho can do something about this.
1363 01:39:26 Trust me.
1364 01:39:39 Warships are surrounding the island.
1365 01:39:43 Nothing gets past you.
1366 01:39:46 We have to do something.
1367 01:39:49 Besides drinking, you mean?
1368 01:39:50 We have to go and defend it.
1369 01:39:53 Sorry to disappoint you,but they won't let the Laura Madre pass.
1370 01:39:58 Not the Laura Madre, no,
1371 01:40:00 but all the others鈥?1418
1372 01:40:45 Operations, something's fast approaching,36 degrees east.
1373 01:40:48 What do you mean "something"?
1374 01:40:50 I don't know,lots of small things, like a little fleet.
1375 01:40:53 Water-skiing.It's a water-skiing competition.
1376 01:40:56 -During a military operation?-Authorized by the port authority.
1377 01:41:00 I don't bloody care!Stop them immediately!
1378 01:41:02 They all paid the entry fee months ago.
1379 01:41:04 The port authority won't accept liabilityor refund them.
1380 01:41:12 Fine.
1381 01:41:14 Fine.
1382 01:41:16 Tell them we're turning now!
1383 01:41:18 Neumann, we're turning!
1384 01:41:46 Rome has authorized the attack, sir.
1385 01:41:48 Perfect. Call the admiral, come on.
1386 01:41:50 Sir, we have another problem.
1387 01:41:55 I told you the water-skiing competitionwas a good idea.
1388 01:42:00 I'm sorry, my friend. Really.
1389 01:42:03 Nice to meet you. I'm Neumann.
1390 01:42:06 Nice to meet you. Gabriella.
1391 01:42:08 I'm the organizer of this competitionthat helped avoid a military occupation.
1392 01:42:13 Next time, we'll organize itfor the end of August. It's freezing now!
1393 01:42:16 If there is a next time.
1394 01:42:19 Neumann's here now!
1395 01:42:20 Let me talk to them.I've been through war before.
1396 01:42:24 Sorry, I need to put some clothes on.
1397 01:42:31 So,
1398 01:42:32 our objective today,is to wipe out that pile of junk--
1399 01:42:35 Admiral, we have a problem.
1400 01:42:37 The civilians on the islandhave multiplied.
1401 01:42:39 What do you mean "multiplied"?They're not bloody bacteria!
1402 01:42:42 They used the water-ski competitionas a cover to get on the island.
1403 01:42:47 Mr. Carrisi,
1404 01:42:49 you're very lucky to be this young.
1405 01:42:53 You know what they did to people like youon the hellish routes to Benghazi?
1406 01:42:56 I'm sorry, sir.
1407 01:42:57 Aim the cannons,and fire two warning shots.
1408 01:42:59 They're just spineless kids.
1409 01:43:01 They'll run awayas soon as they smell the gunpowder.
1410 01:43:04 Yes, sir.
1411 01:43:17 What do we do now?
1412 01:43:20 What do you say, Rudy?
1413 01:43:22 God knows.
1414 01:43:24 "God knows"? You always go on abouthow you've been to war.
1415 01:43:28 I didn't think they'd aim the cannons.
1416 01:43:32 They're only trying to scare us.
1417 01:43:36 I'm not buying it.
1418 01:44:33 Soldiers鈥?they're all the same.
1419 01:44:36 They act threatening,but they don't have the balls to shoo--
1420 01:45:12 Admiral, the civilians are still there,holding hands.
1421 01:45:15 They're challenging us, sir.
1422 01:45:19 Shoot closer.
1423 01:45:23 Admiral, I'd advise against it.It's too risky.
1424 01:45:25 Shoot closer.
1425 01:45:36 Well, I guess I was wrong.We should go now. At least we tried.
1426 01:45:41 I'm not moving.
1427 01:45:42 Rudy's right. They're firing cannons.
1428 01:45:44 Staying here is suicide.
1429 01:45:47 Think of the baby.
1430 01:45:49 What do you mean?
1431 01:45:50 What aboutthe "first natural-born citizen"?
1432 01:45:52 You're still going on about that?
1433 01:45:55 It was bullshit, a joke!
1434 01:45:58 Giorgio, listen, I know how soldiers--
1435 01:46:01 It was good knowing you, Rudy.
1436 01:47:19 Send in the Raiders.
1437 01:50:28 Listen鈥?1485
1438 01:50:34 I'm sorry.
1439 01:50:37 I never apologized.
1440 01:50:42 It's okay. Who cares.
1441 01:50:44 The important thing's to change the world.
1442 01:50:56 Or at least try to.
1443 01:51:32 The Council of Europe declaredit couldn't deliberate on the dispute
1444 01:51:36 between the Italian Stateand the free Republic of Rose Island
1445 01:51:40 as the islandwas outside European territorial waters,
1446 01:51:42 essentially acknowledging itas an independent state.
1447 01:51:46 To prevent similar eventsfrom happening again,
1448 01:51:49 the UN moved the bordersof international waters
1449 01:51:52 from 6 to 12 nautical miles,all around the world.
1450 01:51:55 To this day,the destruction of Rose Island
1451 01:51:59 is the one and only invasionperpetrated by the Italian Republic.
1452 01:52:03 Giorgio and Gabriellaspent the rest of their lives together.
