But I dislike it

when it's performed out of the stage

I dislike people that act like heroes..

from a melodrama...

that don't think about

the consequences

of an impulsive act

or that are dictated by an unforgiveable lightness

May I talk to you with absolute sincerity?

I beg you

It's the only way I appreciate

If I am well informed,

there's going to be a duel tomorrow,

Isn't that so?

And it depends on you to accept or not

that challenge

I am curious.

You are more curious than I am

Don't accept the challenge.

It's not fair to risk your own life

just for a

Why are you worried so much

about my life?

It's a matter of principles.

Don't worry

Nor my life

...nor your principles

are in danger

That stupid incident

will finish quickly with an arrest

What do you mean?

Bring back the memories

Wonderful music

Promise me you'll come tomorrow night

Would you allow me to see you again?

I'm not well...

I have to leave right now

Please, don't move

Good night, Excellence

Countess, are you going to leave us?

I'm not well

I am so sorry

Good night.

Let's go!

If you don't feel well, maybe we

should wait some time.

-Let's go. I beg you

-As you wish.

Roberto has been arrested,

when he was leaving LA FENICE.

That's impossible!

He was with Donai and Meneghini.

Unfortunately, they have been arrested

We have to do something,

right away

Why don't you tell it

to your husband?

-If he wants to, he can..

-Leave that to me!

You must go. Go to Marsenza's house.

I'll let you know

Go right away!

Be wise!.

-Good night.

-Good night.

Have you heard?

Roberto has been arrested

Listen...

I have never asked you for anything

but this time, you have

to do something

to free Roberto.

If you want to...

...you have influences,

friends.

He was denounced by that lieutenant.

I am sure!

-He didn't want to fight the duel

-It's obvious

Can you imagine an Austrian officer...

accepting a duel with an

Italian civilian?

It is absurd

If your cousin had more common sense

Don't you understand what this means?

Yes, I understand

I understand it perfectly

and I don't want anything to do

with it

They've done very well arresting him

And you want me to mix myself

with all that nonsense

that I don't even care about?

I am sick of this! I don't want to talk

about it anymore. Do you understand?

Foolish things!

Do you even know what you want to do?

Roberto was condemned

to a year in exile

just as many others.

I have this dark feeling

about what his absence

could mean.

to me.

-Roberto Ussoni

-Goodbye...

We will meet soon,

guardian angel.

Try to go to the train

as soon as possible

Tell it to Cavalletto, please.
