Come on, Ludo, make a wish.
Oh, God. Only one wish?
I don't know if I can do it.
Maybe I wish I wasn't alone anymore.
I wish I could leave
all my insecurities behind.
Or maybe not.
I wish I could look all my regrets
in the eye.
Discover that being alone
isn't so bad after all.
And then look at myself from the outside.
Be ready to open up to other people.
Who cares if I'm crazy, right?
All right, I know what I want.
I want to know
that I already have all I need
and share that with the rest of the world.
Never again worry
about doing the wrong thing.
I want to be a woman
and also be a child again
anytime I want to.
I don't want to be afraid
to look down anymore.
I want to grow up.
{\an}THE PREVIOUS DAY
WHERE ARE YOU? WHY AREN'T YOU AT SCHOOL?
What if he wants more money?
Elsa, I promise you,
everything's okay, all right?
All right, everything's okay.
What did that man want?
He wanted money.
That's not the point though.
-He blackmailed you.
-Yes.
We decided to give in.
The problem is solved.
I'll pay.
-Chiara, what the f*ck are you saying?
-It's my problem. I will pay for it.
That's why you did it? For money?
No, because I'm stupid.
-We gave you everything!
-So what?
-Why aren't you normal?
-Do you think you're normal?
What should I do?
Give in like you and be a good girl?
-You don't know what you're saying.
-I don't give a f*ck about owning things.
That doesn't make you a good mother.
I'm not two.
-Why are you acting like this?
-Because I don't want to be like you!
-You don't know what you're doing.
-Yes.
-No, you don't.
-I do know.
I'm a whore, all right?
You should be ashamed.
You should be ashamed. I'm ashamed of you!
-Hey.
-Well?
I answered every question.
-I'm a genius.
-What are you going to do for your finals?
-Even the greatest artists copy.
-Really?
Yes, it's a learning method.
Now I know everything by heart.
Well,
this Storti strategy is not bad at all.
-Are you going to the Days?
-Are you joking?
-Why? All the seniors are going.
-I'm not.
SORRY, I'M NOT COMING TODAY.
I HAVE THE FLU.
Would you like some vodka?
That would be great.
I knew it.
You have a problem with alcohol.
Not just that.
It's just coffee.
I've got a ton of problems.
That's your fault.
My fault?
Do you hear what you're saying?
I didn't mean to offend you.
You really have no filter, do you?
You can't just go to someone
and unload your bullshit.
-You're right.
-I know.
You don't even know about my problems.
-Trust me, I can't avoid them.
-You can select them.
Everyone chooses their own issues.
Some chase after you,
but you're also responsible
for holding on to them.
All right.
-Bye.
-Bye.
WHERE THE f*ck ARE YOU? I NEED YOU.
I heard
that the school backers are worried.
Is that due to the article?
I can't believe that among our girls,
there is...
a prost*tute.
The dean...
asked me to avoid any scandals.
Of course.
If this thing is confirmed to be true,
he said he will fire me.
I thought I could give
the school the structure it deserved.
One small rumor,
and the whole thing is shaking.
I have to tell you something.
The rumor about me and Niccolò
was not just some gossip.
I swear, I don't know what got into me.
I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't stop.
I'm going to resign today.
I can't be a role model
to these kids anymore.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
{\an} DAYS
{\an}-How much did you get so far?
-Not much. They're all stingy.
{\an}Why are you even doing this?
{\an}You don't know what I've found at home.
Grab my phone. I'll show you.
Not this. The phone.
What the f*ck were you trying to do?
Were you going to fake the birth too?
I was going to tell him.
I was only waiting for the right time.
You're really out of your mind.
Yes, all right.
Sorry, but I don't want to be alone.
Cami.
Please don't say anything to Nico.
Oh, no. Did I interrupt something?
What is it that Nico doesn't have to know?
We were talking about the trip.
-Why do you care?
-I don't give a f*ck.
So?
You have better things to do.
And the trip is reserved for students
who are admitted to the finals.
You know what? I've changed my mind.
I think I'm going on the Days trip.
Maybe you'll get to go next year
with that other loser friend of yours.
I'll be admitted to the finals,
and we'll celebrate together.
She's right.
Awesome.
Then you'll be the one
to collect the money.
-That's not fair.
-My way or the highway.
If you manage to.
You bet I can.
I'll get all the money you need.
If your brother dumps me,
you'll go back to being Bucket's friend.
GOOD MORNING, EMMA. CAN WE MEET?
Let's meet later at : p.m.
Please don't be late.
-Is that all right?
-Yes.
Bye.
CAN WE MEET AT A HOTEL THIS TIME?
You have such a nice house.
I'm afraid everything will come out.
-You?
-Same.
It would be even worse for them.
We have to prevent that at any cost.
I don't understand
how we didn't notice anything.
I've known for a long time.
I found out before you did. I was alone.
I know how you feel.
-What? You already knew?
-I tried to tell you, remember?
But now we both know. We can protect them.
{\an} DAYS
I'm sorry.
About what?
You're very beautiful.
Did you enter by mistake?
No.
My husband is not coming.
I have to go.
No, stay.
Don't worry, it's...
I'm not here to make a scene.
Mom, you wouldn't believe it.
I answered every question.
They invited me to the Days,
but I don't know if I'm going.
Why not? You have to go.
Right?
This came in yesterday for you. Dad...
Do you want to open it tomorrow?
"Happy birthday. Dad."
So original.
Precisely.
It's okay. At least, he remembered.
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
Can I help you?
Yes, actually.
I'm Inspector Pietro Comini.
I have a few questions for your daughter.
-May I?
-Of course.
Other tips for your sister?
No, my sister is fine. Thanks.
I'm looking for Claudio Fiorenzi.
Do you know him?
-Who?
-Wait.
Him.
-He's my boyfriend. Well, ex.
-Your boyfriend...
Why did you go into that flat with him?
He wanted to see me.
Your ex-boyfriend
is under investigation for aiding
and abetting underage prostitution.
We cannot find him.
-You should really tell me the truth.
-What are you talking about?
Your daughter knows
what I'm talking about.
No, I don't. He wanted to talk to me.
Is that illegal?
It's not, but stop. Listen to me.
I can understand how you got into this.
I understand the money, the nights out.
But now it makes no sense
for you to defend him.
He's very dangerous.
It's not like that.
He cares about me.
He screwed up in the past, maybe--
He got us a flat.
-He has--
-That's enough. My daughter answered.
I can confirm he is an ex-boyfriend.
Nothing important, luckily.
-You know him as well?
-No.
But I can understand.
Have a nice day.
What the f*ck are we going to do?
Everything's okay.
Don't worry, honey. It will be okay.
My husband is...
a clever man.
Did he ever make you do
something you didn't want to do?
Never.
Every time I saw him,
it was because I wanted to.
Sometimes, we don't realize
that our choices are not free.
No, really.
I was free to choose,
just like you chose to come here.
So you think that
when we put ourselves into situations
we know are going to hurt us in the end,
we make a free choice, right?
How do I know it's going to hurt me
if I don't try?
You just know.
Maybe that's why you want to try it.
What do you want?
When I found out that Christophe
pays to go out with girls like you, I--
I wasn't happy.
Then I thought that
he's almost .
He's only a victim of himself.
But you aren't.
You're a victim of other people.
I can help you.
I'm sorry about your husband...
but I'm not a victim.
Then why do you need this?
Why?
There's something wrong with me.
Goodbye.
Tell me.
The police just came to the club.
It's okay. I told them you weren't there
and I didn't know when you'd be back.
Good. Then what?
They spoke with one of the two girls,
the brunette.
You asked me if I would forgive you
if you quit.
I thought about it and...
You should quit for yourself, not for me.
It's the only way out.
Thank you.
Everybody is looking at me
like they expect something from me,
but they don't care.
You're the only one who really cares.
I screwed up big time, Chia.
Tell me about it.
I might have a solution for both of us.
I find that hard to believe, but go on.
sh**t.
I wanted to help you with Fiore.
Someone asked me to take pictures
of you and Ludovica to frame him.
I know, I f*cked up.
Now this guy has disappeared.
You were the one spying on me?
We can still go to the police
and report Fiore.
Let's get out of this together.
Do you know where those pictures ended up?
On my parents' table.
f*ck.
Your friend blackmailed them.
I'm sorry, Chia.
It's a sh*t show,
but at least the police will get him.
My parents paid.
This thing will never come out.
I swear I did it to help you.
-If this is you helping me, then don't.
-Sorry for wanting to help you.
-You don't want your help!
-What do you want? Do what you like!
Leave, whatever!
We told you to stay in your room.
Where have you been?
I needed some air.
Don't play innocent. Give me your phone.
-I didn't do anything wrong.
-Give me your phone!
From now on,
you'll leave the house only for school.
We'll take you there and pick you up.
Are we clear?
Answer me!
Chiara!
Rumor has it,
a girl in her school is a prost*tute.
Who cares...
UNKNOWN: HI, EMMA... I HEARD ABOUT YOU.
AND WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?
UNKNOWN:
ONLY NICE THINGS... CAN WE MEET SOON?
{\an} DAYS
IT'S MIDNIGHT! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

{\an}PLEASE, LET'S MEET... YOU'RE A DREAM!
HI SWEETIE, HOW MUCH?
{\an}ARE YOU FREE NOW?
DO YOU KNOW BRANDO DE SANCTIS?
ONLY BY SIGHT... WHY?
HIS DAD'S UNDER HOUSE ARREST
FOR f*cking A MINOR!
Nice T-shirt.
Listen, tonight, I'm home alone.
Well, I'm always alone, but...
{\an} DAYS
Have you seen that?
Unbelievable!
Come on, let's go!
FROM QUEEN OF THE SCHOOL
TO QUEEN OF CRINGE
Say it was you who got the money.
So everybody will forget what happened.
I have nothing to prove anymore.
As long as I can go on the trip.
Hey!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Thank you. Where were you yesterday?
My parents know everything.
What?
Of all the people who could have outed me,
it had to be him?
I can't believe it.
He didn't do it on purpose.
Maybe he wanted to help you.
Help, my ass.
He spied on us!
My parents can't even look at me.
Did you try to explain?
I don't want to talk to them.
Besides, I have nothing to say.
Let's not dwell on this.
Today's your f*cking day.
Can I take you somewhere to celebrate?
I'm all yours.
Brando?
I've heard about your dad.
I'm really sorry. It must be a nightmare.
You were awesome. You punched Niccolò.
-It was so liberating.
-I know.
The greatest feeling in the world.
Doing what you want to do.
Even if you need to do something wrong.
But it's worth it.
I have to tell you something.
That night when...
I fought with you and my father,
I broke down.
I had never felt that way before.
It wasn't an accident.
I really wanted to hurt myself.
Brando.
Let me in.
No.
I just want you to understand that...
I'm really trying to change.
Yesterday, I was...
lying on the ground,
wondering what more I could want.
The answer is nothing.
Now I'm really fine.
Then why the long face?
Because I feel like
I'm on the edge of a cliff.
I can finally...
change things.
It's cool,
but I'm also afraid.
What if I can't go on?
Your exams will go fine. I'm sure of it.
Then you'll go to university,
and I'll miss you a lot.
I'm not going to die.
Have you ever seen a g*n?
-Not yet.
-You're .
It's time you sh**t something.
Ready?
-More than ready.
-Go!
Jeez!
That ride scrambled my brain.
Let's go sh**ting. I want a giant tiger.
I can't. It's late.
I'm having dinner with my family.
Oh, right.
Come with me.
No way.
I have to go back too.
Chiara, trust me.
Your parents do not hate you.
Don't close yourself off.
You need them right now.
Hey.
Love is stronger
than any f*cked up thing you've done.
-I'm leaving, okay?
-Okay.
-Bye.
-Bye.
UNKNOWN: WHEN ARE YOU AVAILABLE?
I'M AVAILABLE NOW.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET IN A BIT?
I have a present for you.
A car?
Let's leave together.
Right now.
You're crazy.
The police are looking for you.
f*ck everybody.
I need you.
Just give me another chance.
-I can't.
-I'm talking to you.
-Let me go.
-Get in the f*cking car.
Or what?
You're going to f*cking kidnap me?
I don't want to erase
everything that happened.
I don't want to ruin it.
But please stop.
For your own good.
I'm sorry, Ludo.
I didn't want to hurt you.
If that is true, you have to let me go.
Happy birthday.
Good evening, Dean. It's Elsa Altieri.
I'm really worried about my daughter.
I have some strictly confidential
information for you,
but my name must not come out, you know,
for the election campaign.
Good.
I'm sorry, I can't.
I have to go.
Good evening, Dean.
Is it true?
What's the name of the girl?
Come on, Ludo, make a wish.
