They're different things.

This one happened on the ground,

the other one was air-related.

Why don't you just try, Giorgio?

-Try what?

-To be normal.

You'd be happier. Look at yourself now.

What are you talking about?

Listen to yourself, "Be normal"…

I managed to meet Battistini

and showed him the blueprints of your car.

He was so impressed,

he wants you on his team of engineers.

Dad, don't show my stuff to people.

It's private.

It's a sought-after position.

You should be glad.

Yes, I know, Dad. Thanks.

Could you please pull over?

I want to get out.

-Why don't you come home?

-I want to get out.

Just stop the car and let me out!

Where are you going now?

Called to answer charges

for crimes against humanity,

the Nazis appealed to the positive law,

alluding to their famous phrase,

"We were just following orders."

In other words, "We were obeying the law,"

which, no matter how brutal,

was still the law.

To this avoidance of responsibility,

the judges would respond

by appealing to natural law.

Natural law is

that innate sense of justice

which exists in each one of us

reminding us that it's more important…

Can you move over?

…to prioritize what is right

over the rules,

what is right over the law.

Because laws change,

while what is right will always be right.

And this,

doesn't mean that obeying the law

is not important,

on the contrary, it's extremely important.

Especially the driving laws,

the traffic codes,

even license plates are important.

Right. That's it for today.

I'll see you next week.

Chapter three, The Tokyo Trial.

Professor,

the class only lasted ten minutes.

Because these are complex concepts

which take time to comprehend,

especially for you, Nicolini,

who's already failed three times.

You're coming with me.

Sorry.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Do you know what these are?

Blue fingertips?

They took my fingerprints, Giorgio.

-They already had mine.

-My fingerprints!

I'm applying for tenure in six months.

I can't take the exam

if I have a criminal record.

The evening didn't end well,

that's why I'm here, to apologize.

Didn't end well? We were arrested!

Okay, it ended badly then. A tragedy.

But… what happened before that…

can't be ignored.

-Giorgio, you live in your own world.

-Don't you like it?

No, I don't,

because it ends with getting arrested.

Because you live in your own world,

but this world isn't all yours!

-You didn't build it like your car!

-Then maybe I should.

Should what?

Build my own world.

Giorgio, it was a metaphor.

-Would you come?

-You can't build a world!

-Maybe I can--

-No, you can't!

Because you're not a genius,

even though you think you are!
