The Double Hour Page #2

Synopsis: Guido (Filippo Timi), a former cop, is a luckless veteran of the speed-dating scene in Turin.

After they leave the city for a romantic getaway in the country, things suddenly take a dark turn. As Sonia's murky past resurfaces, her reality starts to crumble. Everything in her life begins to change - - questions arise and answers only arrive through a continuous twist and turn of events keeping viewers on edge until the film's final moments.

Do you bring them all here?

You're the first.

Why me?

That was my wife in the photo.

- You're married.

- I'm a widower.

It's the first time

I've ever used that word.

- I'm sorry.

- It's been three years now.

I wasn't ready for you.

Deactivate the security cameras.

- Now the alarm.

- It's switched off. You got in.

The one in the house.

Open the gate too.

Sonia, don't worry,

they'll be gone soon.

They're not interested in us.

I'm sorry.

Put it in vertically.

- How much stuff is there left?

- Just bits and pieces.

I said put it in vertically!

Help him, I'm going back inside.

I'll keep an eye on them.

You looked so sweet

togetherin the woods.

Shame I interrupted you.

Do you mind if I finish off

with your girlfriend?

You don't mind, do you?

It takes guts to jump like that.

If I was going to kill myself...

pills.

A good sleep and it's all over.

Marco told me the manager

wants to change the windows.

He wants those anti-suicide ones.

Know what I mean?

The ones you can't open.

Go home, I'll finish up here.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.

- You know how much

that bottle of perfume cost? - No.

Don't bother guessing, I'll tell you:

This go-go dancerbroke it.

'cause she's no chambermaid is she?

I'm very sorry, I assure you

we'll work something out.

Do you only hire

morons like herhere?

What must I do with you?

I don't want to be harsh.

Well all know what you've been through

and sympathize

but what shall we do?

We can't go on like this.

Sonia...

Sonia!

Your mercy is boundless.

Remind us constantly how brief

and uncertain our earthly life is.

May Your spirit guide us

in holiness and justice

all the days of our lives.

Because after serving you in this life,

in union with the Church...

It was with his personal effects.

I thought you might want it.

Thanks.

You made a nice couple.

You haven't been here long.

The bills are still

in the previous tenant's name.

I gave them my details,

but it takes a while.

What now?

Are you going to stick around

after what happened?

- I haven't decided yet.

- It's a real shame.

You just start finding

a bit of happiness again...

and it all gets f***ed up.

Odd, isn't it?

You set up a perfect alarm system

and the one and only day

you deactivate it

so you can score with a woman...

Coincidence.

Yes, of course.

- POLICE OFFICER -

- For anything.

- Thanks.

Hey, it's clean.

Good morning.

My granny was right.

You can tell a true gentleman

by the way he treats his maids.

Respect is very important.

They used to address their parents

formally at home.

Okay, they were old fashioned.

I'm not saying we should do

the same thing today.

But, anyway...
