There you go.

It should be in here.

Here it is.

The iodine.

OK.

What's up with him? What happened?

What are you on about?

I don't understand.

Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.

Here, take that.

I'm going to go through there,

I'm squeamish.

Do you want something to eat?

I'll make you some

spaghetti with garlic and oil.

Boys, listen...

I trust you... A bit of respect...

No messing about.

Do we understand each other?

Good.

There.

Ah, sorry.

Did you like it?

How was it, nice?

Yes?

I'm starving.

Thanks.

That's fine.

Sister...

Mis...

Where...

we...

stay?

Here.

But...

where?

Excuse me a minute.

Esperia! What have you

been doing until this time?

You know I've been out.

I know, but why are you up so late?

- I'll tell you later.

- No, tell me now. I'm coming up.

- Are you mad? What about the curfew?

- So?

So nothing. I'm tired and freezing cold.

I'm off to bed.

- I'm coming up.

- 'Night.

Turn that light off!

If he comes up...

You'll have to go up to the attic.

You...up...

I'll come with you.

We'll take him up too.

We need to hurry.

No, not that way.

This way. In here.

Can you give me a hand?

Let's go up.

Up you come.

For now you can make

yourselves at home up here.

Go over there.

It's warm up here in the attic, eh?

This is a chimney.

Can you feel how nice and warm it is?

It's full of rats up here.

They've invaded us as well.

If you see any, kill them.

They don't even go into the traps any more.

These are candles. Candles.

Got it?

Do you want a packet of cigarettes?

Yes?

- Thanks.

- Make yourselves comfortable.

Good night.

Tomorrow you have to clear off.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to clear off.

Understand?

Good night.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Excuse me.

I...would like...

Don't get any closer or I'll kill you!

I want...

- tea.

- Don't be stupid.

- Tea!

- What "te"?!

What?

Water?

Water.

- Hot.

- I see.

Stupid.

Does he think it grows on trees?

We work hard here, you know.

I can't help, then. I'm sorry.

Come here, you.

- So, do you want the flour?

- Yes, at 25 lire though.

- Yes, at 25.

- I'll take two kilos then.

- I haven't got it here.

- I'm counting on it.

I've work to do,

I'll get it before midday.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Listen, go and call the doctor,

tell him I'll be waiting for him at home.

Are you unwell?

No, I'm fine. Tell him I'm waiting

and that the stuff's arrived.

- Hurry.

- OK.

Esperia, what have you done

with the soldiers from last night?

Nothing.

Do you know what the lawyer said?

Anyone the Germans find hiding an Allied

prisoner will be shot.

- Really?

- You need to get rid of them straight away.

I sent them on their way last night,
