Quo Vadis, Baby? Page #2

---

- I didn't know, sorry.

- I never announced it.

Can you check

if there's anything odd in her file?

- Where did it happen?

- Rome, May 14, 1988.

I'll write it down.

It won't be easy.

- You think she didn't kill herself?

- I'm not so sure.

- What's her name?

- Ada.

We'll see...

I'll keep this.

- Thanks.

- I'll let you know.

My regards to the Captain.

Nice, isn't he?

Ada!

Are you here?

Are you here?

Are you here?

Mum!

- Giorgia, did you call me?

- No, auntie.

Careful, it's dusty down there.

Don't worry.

Here is the candy

Giorgia likes.

This is for our little artist's drawings.

Seems she was hanging out laundry

on the terrace.

She must have had a dizzy spell.

Poor Cantini, what a tragedy.

How are you, darlings?

I'll always be with you,

we'll pull through it.

Mum will look after us from above.

I say it'll be a cracking party.

The cinema professor is pretty cool.

He's got good music, good stuff.

I've got exams next month,

so I'll be all smiley...

- What's up with you?

- Nothing.

I don't know who A is

but I know he wanted to be a director.

I shouldn't have sent you the tapes, Aldo

The light that falls

on a mirrored surface

will have an angle that reflects

the incident light

which renders the visible corner

very important.

Perception is the sum

of elementary sensations...

- Professor.

- Hello.

- Remember me?

- Yes.

Congratulations, really...

Can I ask you a few questions

if you have time?

Certainly.

Andrea Berti,

I'm responsible for this delirium.

- You must be Lucio's friend.

- Pleasure, Giorgia.

He said I absolutely had to meet you

but he didn't say why.

You've got three minutes

to figure it out.

Not much time, where do I start?

Anywhere, but hurry, time's ticking.

You're serious!

- What do you do for work?

- Something nobody wants to do.

- You pave highways?

- Worse, I work with my father.

Small investigation agency,

I get paid to be nosy.

Interesting, there are great films

about lady investigators

and some have personalities like yours.

One more reason

not to go to the movies.

You don't like movies?

Last film I saw was

20.000 Leagues Under The Sea.

I was six.

I've hated Bach, submarines,

and squid ever since.

You could give it another try

with something more...

Did you see 101 Dalmatians?

I'm up, this is my least favorite moment.

Come along.

See you.

I hope, I have a minute

and a half left.

Sometimes A scares me.

I don't know who he really is.

But when we're together

it's like wearing an evening gown

instead of the usual jeans.

I bought a pregnancy test.

You'd have to be insensitive

to bring a baby into the world.

I'm sure A sees other women.

But I feel good with him.

We drink, f***,

he always has some stuff.

I know Giorgia complains

because I never write

but I'd have to tell her lies

and I don't want to.

Giulio's always away for work.

He asks so many questions.

Maybe he's suspicious.

- I didn't know a thing.

- Try to remember.

Unbelievable, she had an affair!

I didn't know anything. It's insane!

This is all new to me.

It hurts me, Giorgia.

Did she say she used coke?

- She said she wasn't happy.

- She wasn't happy?

That was 16 years ago.

We're physically different.

We move and think differently.

That was another life time

and luckily it's over, period.

Bye, Giulio.

You really are a b*tch!

You showed me tapes of my woman...

- My sister!

- My woman!

Saying she f***ed another man,

she thought she was pregnant.

What am I supposed to do?

Ada killed herself.

It took me so long to...

Does she ever mention Anna?

Anna and I are going

to a Zeffirelli audition.

Who is Anna?

A friend, an aspiring actress.

They were inseparable toward the end.

What did they do?

We should just let the past be.

I didn't get her pregnant,

we hadn't touched each other

in five months.

- Hi, Cantini.

- Hello, Commissioner.

I'm calling about that favor

you asked, your sister's file.

There is an anomaly.

There's no autopsy report attached.

Don't jump to any conclusions.

The cop who did the investigation

had no doubt she killed herself.

I'll read it...

There are a few

secondary testimonies,

a neighbor who heard fighting,

another who heard doors slamming.

There must have been

some action that night.

That's it.

Thank you.

Any news on Lattice?

I think he's following me,

as long as he keeps his distance...

Don't push him, he's dangerous.

Call me if you need anything.

At any time.

Thanks, bye.

Signora Cantini.

They asked me

if I knew my wife's lovers.

Did you do it?

Why do people change?

Why did my wife suddenly

become a stranger to me?

Ada, get away from the window!

Are you nuts?

He's watching us.

Get away from there.

Lattice, f*** you!

- I don't want to hear your whining!

- Right.

Geez, this someone

must be pretty clingy!

- Who is this?

- Andrea Berti.

Hope I'm not bothering you.

No, not at all...

No problem.

I'll get to the point,

dinner tomorrow night?

You know, sit around a table.

Order food, eat, and nothing more.

Tomorrow night?

Like tonight but in 24 hours.

Why did I accept?

Why?

Let me see.

Why did I accept?

You've become a bore!

Girls, go in the other room.

Nice job, Cantini.

- Making some progress.

- Commissioner.

- Come to warm up your muscles?

- Nope.

To use the sauna

and to give you good news.

I could use some.

Lattice turned himself in this morning.

He killed his wife.

Now you can rest easy.

He was at my door last night.

He told me.

You should have called me.

He says it's your fault.

You shouldn't have shown him the photos.

Crazy!

He won't bug you any more.

What are you doing tonight?

Life is strange.

out of a can with my cat

and tonight everyone

wants to ask me to dinner.

I'll mark it on my calendar.

You underestimate yourself.

Some other time then, take care.

- Quo vadis, baby?

- You scared me stiff!

Sorry, I parked far away.

Been waiting long?

Can we have some red wine?

- Would you like to see the menu?

- No, I need some right away.

The house wine will do.

A Cabernet.

- They have great raw fish.

- Raw?

- The vegetables are good too.

- I don't eat them.

- No vegetables.

- No fruit either.

No potatoes or tomatoes?

- Peaches, apricots, apples...

- The texture grosses me out.

I don't want to pry

but what do you eat?

Lots of pudding, cream cheese,

alternated with cottage cheese,

plain pasta, tortellini soup,

a ton of nicotine.

- Lots of childhood traumas?

- Why?

You don't like the best things

in life, movies and food.

But I like to drink.

The other glass is for...

Same difference.

Ready to order?

It won't be easy.

Great chocolate pudding.

See, there's always

something good to eat.

Why don't you have a girlfriend?

Can I ask you that first?

With older men

I don't know what to talk about,

with younger men I do,

but they can't f***.

- Never mind 40-year-olds.

- Do tell, I'm interested.

They're adolescents

trapped in ageing bodies.
