The Double Hour Page #3

Synopsis: Guido (Filippo Timi), a former cop, is a luckless veteran of the speed-dating scene in Turin. But, much to his surprise, he meets Slovenian immigrant Sonia (Ksenia Rappoport), a chambermaid at a high-end hotel. The two hit it off, and a passionate romance develops. 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.

Was there a man here?

On the stairs?

- Yes?

- It's Margherita.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Me neither, it sucks.

Shall we meet?

- Oh, I don't know.

- Come over to my place.

I've got a stash of bottles

from the minibar.

No, I really don't feel like it.

- Okay, but tomorrow after work...

- Sorry, bye.

- Margherita...

- Sonia...

Sonia!

Sonia!

- Night shift?

- No, I forgot something.

Would you like a coffee?

I appreciate the problem,

but I can't change the room now.

Yes, I understand.

Of course.

Fine. Yes.

If I had a free room,

I'd move you immediately.

Yes, afterbreakfast.

Fine.

I'll move you from 422 to 435.

All right? Thank you.

The bullet stopped here.

It made a depression in the skull

but didn't cause it to fragment.

They'll have told you this

at the hospital.

Sometimes a millimetre

makes a big difference.

So there's no damage...

- Everything's okay?

- You're absolutely fine.

Listen:
you suffered a serious

physical and mental shock.

Take it easy, fill your time

with pleasant things.

I bought a globe yesterday.

I put it on the bedside table,

looked at it...

What do I need a globe for?

All I do is Collegno-Turin,

Turin-Collegno every day.

I could have bought a ticket

for London instead.

Possibly one-way.

Have you been there?

Do you mind

if I don't come tonight?

I'll show you something.

Lovely.

- Where was this taken?

- It wasn't.

Look at the bridge.

It's in Buenos Aires.

- I've never been there.

- You haven't?

A police officer gave it to me.

He said Guido had it.

It must be a photomontage.

Maybe Guido wanted to take you

and this was a nice way to tell you.

Yes, maybe.

Okay.

We'll go out some other time.

- Good evening, Mr Caminiti.

- Bruno.

- Knocking off?

- Yes.

Remember that touchy guy

with the perfume?

I ran into him earlier.

What a lout!

- He's a regularhere too.

- Really?

Don't worry.

I convinced him to change hotels.

- I have to go. Goodnight.

- Do you have far to go?

- I can give you a lift.

- No thanks, I'm not going far.

I insist.

No, really. Thanks.

Look who it is!

Out on your own this late?

There's lot of scum about.

My car's parked nearby.

Tell me, who called

the ambulance that night?

I told the police. I woke up

in hospital, I don't remember.

The thief killed Guido

but took good care to save you.

Doesn't make sense.

- Unless...

- They shot me!

No, they shot Guido.

But the bullet went through him

and got lodged in your little head.

I'm going home.

Sonia...

Can I sleep here?

What's up? Are you okay?

Margherita...

- You nearly killed me.

- That shouldn't have happened.

No, it shouldn't have happened.

You'd better go,

there's a cop on my back.
