Era notte a Roma (Blackout in Rome) Page #3

---

what did you think I'd done?

You've nothing to worry about, then.

I've got things to do, I'll see you later.

Where's Renato?

I need to talk to him urgently.

Go and call Renato.

Esperia, how are things?

How do you think?

Everything round here's a mess.

- Rena'...

- What is it?

You have to come home,

I need your help.

- I can't be seen about the place.

- Everyone here is on our side.

Yes, cover your face with your scarf.

Let's go.

Renato, how are you doing?

- Here he is. Hello, Esperia.

- Hello.

I've not seen you in ages,

I thought you were serving.

No...I'm not serving.

Bye.

Look at them, on the terrace!

What will happen if they're seen?

- Were they here last night when I whistled?

- Yes.

Come on, tell them what I told you.

They won't understand me.

Make yourself understood!

Come on.

She says that you can't stay,

- that you have to go.

- Yes.

- I don't understand.

- He must understand!

There's an injured American as well.

This one's English, the other's Russian.

- Which one's Russian?

- That one.

You idiot, what do you mean "tovarich"?

You have to send them away.

Come on!

She says she is frightened,

that if you stay here she'll be shot.

Understand?

Me!

Yes, her.

- Leave?

- Yes, you have to go!

Oh, God.

For goodness' sake don't talk. Hide.

Go through there. Don't talk.

Ah, it's you, Doctor.

You have to help me.

It's the doctor!

- The door.

- Doctor, come through.

Esperia took three prisoners last night.

- Well, she found them in Cerveteri.

- Look at this idiot laughing!

Never! Good work, Esperia.

Hush, hush, eh?

Never mind that,

if they're found I'll be shot, got it?

Come through.

He's the doctor.

Hello.

- Excuse us?

- Go on up.

- They have to go.

- Oh, yes.

Where are we going?

My mother made the hole

so you could get up to the attic.

You can explain at last, Doctor.

Can you tell them they must go?

I didn't know that having them here

I risked being executed.

Don't worry, I'll tell them.

Doctor, have you told them they have to go?

Yes, yes, I've told them.

Come on, Esperia, behave.

Let me work in peace, will you?

Try to get hold of these medicines.

They're sulphanilamides.

It shouldn't be hard for someone involved

with the black market to get them.

OK. And then will they go?

Of course. They'll go straight away.

You'd hardly want to kick them out

in this state.

- But when will he be better?

- Soon.

The sooner you bring the medicine,

the sooner they can go.

How's it going?

Have you sold anything?

Espe', when are you bringing the oil?

Here, Doctor.

It's all I could find. So?

- "So" what?

- Well...

As soon as he's better he'll go,

along with the others.
