religious practice conceived by
Saint Ignazio of Loyola
in the early decades of the 1500's.
Officially sanctioned by the Church
in 1548, for their great spiritual efficacy,
the exercises were soon adopted for
the moral devlopment
of men wielding economic and political power.
Attention, attention.
Attention all citizens.
The epidemic continues to claim victims...
amongst the population of our country.
The only way to fight the epidemic
is through compulsory vaccination.
All citizens of all ages must present themselves
for vaccination against the epidemic
at the special centres set up by
the Red Cross
for the anti-epidemic campaign.
The Eve
Here he comes. The first one is
at the gate, over.
- The car is in the drive, over.
- Roger.
Welcome, Mr. President.
Assistant Commissioner Arras.
I'm here to the end.
- The end of what?
- Until the end. Please.
- Anyone here yet?
- No. You're the first.
I wish I were last.
This way please.
- Good evening, Excellency.
- 602.
Would you like anything?
- Notify Don Gaetano.
- At once.
I'm confused... I'd like to visit the chapel.
This way.
Father, 602 is on the way.
Our... Father...
who art... in heaven...
hallowed be... thy...
name... Thy...
kingdom... come...
Thy... will... be done...
here in prayer.
- Will they all come?
- Everyone.
But maybe he won't come.
There's an 80% chance.
So he told me by telephone earlier.
Pity! It's a unique and
propitious occasion.
We're at the crossroads...
it's painful, but inevitable.
I believe he'll come.
Here they can see us.
This is the fifth accusation against you.
Anonymous.
It's them again:
they're after me.
But they want me in jail.
Hide it.
Bless me.
Soon you'll be rid of me.
Maybe I have cancer.
Where?
Where temptation was strongest.
- Well then, where?
- Guess...
Will you hear my confession?
Tomorrow. I won't hear it now.
Besides, it's dangerous.
There could be microphones.
- Are you very tired?
- Yes! Go away!
They're scoundrels.
Pray!
Pray.
Pray.
- Found anything?
- no, nothing so far.
Have you looked properly?
- They've got smart.
- Don't you believe it.
Who are they?
Do you know them?
The younger one is Senator Martellini,
chairman of FITOD.
The other one is Caudo,
Vice-President of ARABIC.
They weren't expected here tonight.
A few words...
to thank Don Gaetano.
What kind of priest do you think I am?
Good or bad?
Like the others.
- Disgraceful.
- One must forgive them...
- they're Mediterraneans!
Now and for ever.
Enjoy your meals.
I'd like your permission, Don Gaetano,
to eat with the service staff.
From tomorrow you may.
Today we're not organised.
There are many problems.
Here's one...
your company.
If I get back into government,
certain precautions must
be taken, right?
Regretfully!
I'm a bad priest. Very bad.
And I'll tell you more...
The Church's triumph is due to
bad priests.
Their wickedness servers to confirm
and glorify sanctity.
He called. He's coming.
The chances are increasing.
It seems that he's coming.
- Enough! I refuse to eat with thieves like you.
- What did you say?
I said I refuse to eat with thieves like you.
- You may be a thief!
- You're the thief - a banana thief.
- Stamp thief!
- You're thieves.
Thieves! They laugh...
First they steal, then they come here
to laugh at God's people.
Cry! One can't escape expiation.
They'll get what they deserve.
They laugh... you should cry instead.
You're dead and you don't know it.
The people want it; God wants it.
- Now and for ever.
We all have so many fears.
They've lost their self-control.
As if they could see hell.
Hell is nearby. It's underground.
We're inside it.
I'm here to lead you there by the hand.
This time you'll all do the spiritual
exercises properly.
Just as I say.
Jesus...
Why didn't you wake me
when you got back?
You looked so peaceful.
I want to pray with you.
The Ignatian prayer...
with deep breaths.
Our... Father...
who art... in heaven...
hallowed be... thy...
name... Thy...
kingdom... come...
Thy... will... be done...
on Earth... as in heaven.
Give us this day...
our daily bread...
- Who is it?
- It's me, Voltrano.
- Voltrano... hide.
- I must speak to you.
Open up - it's Voltrano.
I'm alone. It's important!
Only you can save the Party.
You must go back and lead
the government.
At your side you'll have me,
Mozzio, Dergo, Caprarozza,
Schiavo, and maybe even Michelozzi,
with all URU's money.
- Voltrano, I don't need...
- All together...
We must sweep away the filth
lurking in our Party.
- There's a woman...
- That's not true.
- I don't need you, Voltrano.
- But I need you.
- I don't need you.
- You do...
I have all you need to achieve
your goal.
- In the name of our long friendship.
- I won't be a scapegoat.
Careful:
I'm an archive.I have all the proof.
- Proof of what?
- Everything.
- Everything? No, thank you.
- It's a present.
Thank you, Voltrano.
Thank you, thank you.
Have a good rest.
Prepare for prayer.
- The werewolf is...
- Yes, yes.
First day
Good morning, gentlemen.
This year too, His Eminence
Cardinal Goffredo Beccari...
has been so gracious as to attend the
opening of our spiritual exercises.
- Did you hear the radio?
- Yes. At 7:
00 and 7:30.What news on the epidemic?
Ten cases in Rome's outskirts,
and three dead at Lecce.
That would make 35 dead so far,
is that right?
No, it's 50.
Arithmetic is not my strong point.
How is it?
Low.
His Eminence's car is
now approaching.
It stops at the entrance,
where the waiting throng
pay His Eminence their
warm respects.
respectful Don Gaetano,
director of our spiritual exercises,
and of all the participants.
Now, some statistical data.
This year there are 103 participants,
while last year there were only 89.
This is further proof of the interest
in our conventions,
as a centre of orientation in
these difficult times.
- They'll make him Pope.
- He's too young.
This year too, the participants
are very distinguished.
Amongst those already present,
are four government ministers,
nine under-secretaries,
thirteen MP's,
six senators, four chairmen
of state enterprises,
nine deputy chairmen,
three general managers,
five chairmen of insurance
and financial institutions,
three top magistrates,
two newspaper editors,
three regional editors,
and many other authorities,
political and economic.
We see the arrival of Senator Lombo,
accompanied by his sons,
Under-secretary Aldo, and Hon. Franco.
for the city and the nation.
Again this year, they didn't want
to miss this moment of spirituality,
for which they've always
shown great fondness.
Please Father, go away.
He's not coming. Let's go back to Rome.
