by the stream without looking back.

I'll let you rest, you must be tired.

- Good night, Cristina.

- Good night.

See if he's in there.

- Well?

- He's not.

Let's go.

- Well?

- He's not inside.

In fact, the hearth is cold.

Did you look in the barn?

- Nothing.

- Let's look in the hay loft.

Damned Gallenga!

Where can he be?

- He must be around here.

- He knew he shouldn't be seen.

Call him!

I have something to tell you.

I'm expecting a baby.

I have to talk to you.

Not even my wife

should know these things,

but I can't stand it anymore,

I have to tell someone.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

With this, it's 30,000.

So you met Mazzini?

Quiet!

He's a very rigorous man,

but we can't talk here,

Rosa mustn't know.

Salvatore, are you scared?

No, I would be if we were

attacking the ships in Genoa,

or going to fight at the border.

- There'll be fighting in Turin too.

- It'll never happen.

No fighting either in Genoa

or at the border.

First, we were supposed to leave

in October, to do a blitz.

Then in November, then December,

meantime the General

was gambling

the expedition money away.

This is February,

the police knows everything by now,

there are spies everywhere,

anyone can betray you.

And then there's Gallenga.

Mazzini was convinced

he'd kill Carlo Alberto.

How did it go?

Gallenga shuffled around,

saying he had to perfect the plan,

meantime he went around

boasting what he was planning.

- Quiet!

- So the plan became known.

The council got him

a house in the country

where he stayed a few weeks

and then disappeared.

Everybody's disappearing,

of the 1 ,200 who should be

in the expedition,

there's now less than half.

- What are you saying?

The Swiss police caught the Poles

and seized the weapons

and the German volunteers were

broken up before they could unite.

- How do you know all this?

- I told you, it's all out!

- There are spies everywhere!

- The spies talk to you?

The spies spread the news they want.

It must be a tactic, they're

hiding daylight, it's all false.

I don't believe it!

We have to wait and see.

We'll see.

Let's pass down under here.

Hold it.

Here are the weapons.

Are they all there?

What, don't you trust me?

Want to count them?

No, let's get out of here.

He was very touched

while telling me his story.

Just listen to it,

it's such an incredible story.

If you want some more, sir...

This story is really incredible,

no jokes.

- As soon as he goes out...

- Where is he going?

It's you? You scared me.

Tomorrow we burn Savoy and the fire

will spread to all of Europe!

- You're drunk.

- I'm drunk with joy.

Kiss me.

Where are you?

Come here!

Let's stay together!

Sir.

General Ramorino

said the expedition is over.

He's given orders to the troops

to break up and go home.

Where is he?

I must speak to him.

He left over an hour ago.

Damn him!

Do you intend to give me

the amount I ask, or not?

I don't intend to.

Princess,

you have an income

of 600,000 lire at your disposal.

Where did you get

this ridiculous information?

From my maid?

I won't give you anything, Angelo,

your insurrection failed.

Doesn't your father send you money

from the income of your land?

If you think you can arm these men,

pay from your own pocket.

My father stopped sending me money,

his excuse is

the crops got destroyed.

But I'm not going back.

And you won't help me.

The Belgiojoso school!

- What do you mean?

- There's immorality in Milan.

The Belgiojoso school's responsible.

You people from Lombardy

don't have the Republic at heart.

The truth is,

I strive for a government

guided by a beggar's son,

I strive for democracy,

the only one worth

risking a revolution for.

But to found a democratic government,

wanting it isn't enough,

the people must be ready.

Educating a people

isn't done in a day!

It takes time and energy.

But you and those bloodthirsty ones

seducing you

insist on a dagger to free

a people who'll never follow you

because they don't understand you!

- No!

The first effect

of the revolution

will be to split wealth

in equal parts for all.

Although ignorant, they'll rise up,

at least out of selfishness.

And then what will they do

with this revolution?

You can't tell a people

you're free,

you must say:
"Here are the boundaries

between slavery and freedom."

You have to spread light

in their minds.

Make them aware

of their rights and duties.

Princess...

do you think you know

more than Charles Teste,

Voyer d'Argenson, Auguste Blanqui?

I have no definite certainties,

Mr. Angelo Cammarota.

When I use the word "believe"

I'm expressing hope.

But I can't stand you an instant more

repeating the words of that Bernard

and of his teachers,

as if they were...

I despise you, Angelo.

But be aware

that these friends of yours

undermined the expedition

through doubt and sarcasm.

Traitors undermined it!

I was mistaken about you, Angelo.

Farewell.

- What's his name?

- Saverio.

Like the overseer,

may he rest in peace.

Cheers!

I'm happy you're here too.

The Lord is merciful,

He always sends nice gifts.

I'm glad to see you.

May God bless the earth you tread,

but, remember, only good deeds.

Father Carlo,

you know I have my own ideas.

But there aren't just atheists in our

family, take Carmine for instance.

Domenico too has dedicated himself

to a good cause.

Yes, but some give with joy,

like Carmine.

And that's their reward,

because through those hands,

God speaks to us.

Through those eyes,

He smiles upon the earth.

But there's lots of anger here too.

Anyway, today's a day of feasting.

And Carmine will make a good priest.

Could I taste a little wine then?

Salvatore, you didn't offer

any wine to Father Carlo?

- They didn't give you a drink!

- To Saverio's health.

Angelo, what are you doing there?

- Come dance with us?

- No.

Look what you've come to!

Don't be so unsociable!

Arduino, which one's

your girlfriend?

I'll introduce her.

Come on, let's dance.

Let's see if you can dance.

Leave her alone, are you nuts?

- Back off, leave him alone.

- I ask your forgiveness!

See why I don't dance?

- Because you're bigots.

- Shut up, Angelo, go away.

Domenico, take Angelo away!

Come here, you stop too!

Play!

- Nice party!

- Get out of here!

Come on, play!

Dance! All of you dance!

Dance!

You spent two years in poverty

while they were living high

and now you let them

ruin your son's party!

You're wretched!

May I?

Come on in, Angelo.

Nice party.

Thank you.

I thank your mother,

she was very generous.

Did you see

all the beautiful fruit she sent?

So, you're staying here

and doing your father's job?

That's how it goes,

it's best this way.

I'm the only one left

to support my whole family.

The new overseer.

Did you see the council about it?

- No.

- I know.

They asked me

to explain your behavior.

What is it, are you my keeper?

If I were, I wouldn't let you hide
