"You see that, Papa?" "He's on a record pace." "I know, Piero." "He's a great driver." "It's great car" "When you show him the time..." "add one second to each lap." "Don't let him know how well it actually went." "I'm here." "It's a crummy day but you know..." "I wouldn't forget." "Things are going well in the factory." "We're getting." "Good times with the new car..." "Maybe it still lacks traction but it goes, it goes very fast." "I'm the one." "Who's slowing down." "Every morning when I wake up." "I have the feeling that it could be for the... for the last time." "I think... we'll be together very soon..." "Good morning, sir." "Good morning, Ariella." "Hi!" "I'm... here for the interview." "Sorry if I'm late." "Don't worry, Mr. Ferrari, I think you won't see me at all." "Usually I don't talk journalists, they write... nothing but lies about me." "Well, I'm... really honored you've made an exception for me, sir." "Nononononononono..." "if you want to talk to me, no cameras... and no tape recorders." "Ok." "I've often asked myself what does a man like you dream about?" "Sorry to disappoint you but for years now, I haven't dreamt at all." "But you did have a dream when you were young," "the dream to build the fastest, most beautiful motorcar in the world." "Tell me, Mr. Ferrari," "How was it that that dream became real... and that that... reality... became a legend?" "I was, only ten but I remember like it was yesterday..." "Who said you could come here?" "When I tell you to do something..." "you obey me!" "But you brought Alfredo..." "Shut up!" "Don't argue!" "And be careful!" "Now you stay close to me!" "Now I have my own car." "You call that a car?" "It looks to me like a piece of plywood." "Ok then..." "let's race and see who wins." "But when you lose, I don't wanna hear you cry." "Fine!" "One, two, three..." "Faster, faster - faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faste-e-er!" "Mamma!" "Mamma!" "Open the door!" "Open up!" "It's me!" "Mamma!" "Not until you find yourself a job and get your head straightened out!" "But I have a job!" "Today I won my first race!" "Almost." "A real job!" "I'll get one!" "But now, please, open the door!" "I'll find a job!" "Mam-!" "Good morning..." "Sorry if I kept you waiting." "No problem." "I've been thinking about your application but unfortunately we have no positions open at Fiat at the moment." "As a matter of face we've recently had to lay off hundreds of men." "Come on just try me." "Give me a chance." "I'm, l-I'm a bargain." "You don't understand but l-l-I'm great driver!" "I'm quite certain you are..." "but there's also the little detail... that we don't happen to have a racing team" "Exactly!" "I'm going to build you one." "I'm afraid there's really no point in continuing this discussion." "Pleasure to have met you." "Tell me again, what'd you say your name was?" "Ferrari." "Enzo Ferrari." "Remember that name." "I'm sure I will." "I hate the cold more than anything in the world..." "That night I kept promising myself... that I would never spend another night in the cold." "So, the next morning you went home?" "No, I stayed in Turin, I had a friend there, a great friend, Beppe Sicci!" "We used to meet in a cafe at Porta Nuova ...we talked about cars..." "And women, I imagine." "How can you not talk about women?" "Without women, engines don't even start." "I picture it was in the cafe that you met Laura." "Ah..." "How the hell do you know that?" "Maybe I read about it in one of your biographies." "Good morning." "'Morning sir." "It's cold!" "Enzo!" "Ah!" "Good morning..." "Oh Dio!" "Oh Dio mio excuse me so very much, I'm..." "I had-had no idea you were ...I'm absolutely mortified, I'm so sorry, oh..." "Don't worry..." "He-here you can, you can dry yourself with this..." "Thank you." "I'm terribly sorry it was so stupid of me." "Are you badly burned?" "No noo, it's - it's ok... except that I never did like hot chocolate..." "I'm so sorry... um." "How can you forgive me, really..." "I'm sure we can find a way..." "Oh and... what exactly would that be?" "Oh... uhhh, a good deed a date with an invalid?" "Let me introduce myself." "My name is Enzo..." "Enzo Ferrari." "You say it as though you were famous." "I soon will be." "My name is Laura..." "Laura Garello." "Laura... beautiful!" "Laura..." "and Enzo, eh?" "What a great team!" "Ummm... may I have your address?" "Hm?" "I'll think about it." "Huh?" "I'll think about it." "OK... thank you." "See here?" "Cars." "They used to be your passion." "Not anymore." "Turn around... turn around..." "Turn around, turn around, turn around..." "She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen in my life, standing there in that..." "uhh, purple dress..." "Red and purple." "You would've done... anything to have her." "Anything." "You can't hold him back... he's faster!" "Let him pass!" "This isn't a car it's a goddam coffeepot!" "Well it's a coffeepot that at the moment is overheating!" "Don't bother me with trivia, Beppe!" "If I don't start winning races..." "I'll never get to marry Laura." "Shut it down Enzo we've blown a hose!" "Hey didn't you hear me?" "I said stop!" "We could have an engine fire!" "That's not water." "Enzo, that's really disgusting!" "Sorry Beppe but you'd better get used to pissing in your pants too... 'cause this car is not stopping until the finish line!" "That's really, really uncivilized!" "The next race was the beginning of a winning streak, and winning... brought benefits..." "Enzo..." "And this... this is our bedroom..." "So..." "Mrs. Ferrari, what do you think?" "You like it?" "Oh Mr. Ferrari this is... wonderful!" "But don't you think we're missing something?" "No." "No?" "Who is that guy?" "He's already lapped everyone." "That's Tazio Nuvolari." "Who, the motorcycle ace?" "The very same." "He slides, but he never lifts his foot off the gas." "He speeds up." "Yeah." "Pretty amazing." "I've never seen anything like it before." "Slides..." "Enzo Ferrari." "Nuvolari... how are you?" "I'm very glad to have met you before." "Before what?" "Before you get yourself killed." "If you keep driving like that your days are numbered." "Well my friend..." "that part is true for us all but we'll see who finishes first... hanh?" "Finished at the graveyard you mean..." "You'll get there long before me." "Even if I do wait three days for the funeral." "You never know..." "I might not show up." "We'll see." "We'll see." "May I ask what you think you're doing?" "I'm gonna drive like Nuvolari." "You'll get yourself killed." "Dammit!" "So what's this?" "I have a right to happiness Enzo - and I'm going to look for it." "I'm wasting my life here." "You're not going anywhere." "Let me go... you're hurting me let me go!" "...You're insane..." "I know what happened to you," "you're afraid." "I can see it in your eyes Enzo... so stop now..." "stop racing before you kill yourself." "I told you before if you don't stop I'll leave you..." "I'll leave you and I'll never come back." "Don't be a madman Enzo slow down!" "...slow down!" "Yes!" "Great!" "It was the last time..." "After that I kept my promise to Laura, I quit driving and for good." "But I won the most difficult race of all the battle against fear..." "Well, if you really won that battle what happened?" "For me... to push beyond the limit was the exception to the rule but for somebody like Nuvolari..." "it WAS the rule... so I had to accept that he was number one ...and I was number two." "So that was the end of the dream?" "Noo, just the beginning." "The dream became bigger, much bigger:" "to build a car that doesn't slow in a curve and flies without..." "leaving the ground." "The Ferrari Team." "Has a good sound to it... eh?" "A sound yeah... a good sound but a sound doesn't make a team Enzo." "WE'RE a team you and me." "Do you see any mechanics around here?" "Ah... ehh... you're the chief mechanic..." "Find what you need, put together the best team you can." "We need to organize an office, w-w-we need uh, workshops, mmm test benches, where do we get the money for it?" "Ooh don't worry about the money." "The money will come." "You'll see, the newspapers will be shouting about us... you'll see." "Just hope it's not in the crime section..." "You know what?" "You're out of your head and I'm nuts to follow you..." "So... what do you need on the team uhh, a designer?" "...You got it!" "I got it..." "Uhhh, a-a manufacturer?" "Yeah." "You got it..." "I got it." "A bank to finance us?" "For example." "You got it." "Uh w-where do I got them, boss?" "Here." "It's all in my head." "Enzo." "That's M Y car." "Eh?" "Ah yeah." "You got it." "I got it." "Alfa is a great company." "You should be thinking of selling cars not managing a-a small racing department." "I want to take over your entire sports division, cars, uhh, parts, uh, engines, tires, everything." "And you have the resources to sustain such an investment?" "Frankly sir I don't have a lira but I do have a plan to make your cars the fastest in the world." "These are merely words, sir... and vague words at that." "There's nothing behind what you have to offer and therefore we can hardly take such a proposal seriously." "Just give me a moment, please." "I've got them!" "They couldn't be more enthusiastic..." "Don't worry... we'll be signing the contract any minute... wait!" "Please..." "These are not only words, sir, but facts." "It's my commitment, my greatest ambition." "This is the mission of my life." "Unfortunately you would need a set-up you don't have." "I have it, I invite you to Modena to-o inspect my factory." "And what about manpower?" "...Maybe you don't believe me..." "but I also have uhh mechanics, technicians, and... the greatest designer ...in the marketplace." "Impossible." "The greatest is Vittorio Jano and he's firmly with Fiat." "We should know... we've made him several very generous offers and he always refuses." "Hm." "Because your offers never included a dream." "Maybe you still don't understand this" "but dreams... are contagious." "Let me present..." "Vittorio Jano." "'Morning." "Thank you very much... goodbye." "Goodbye." "'Morning." "'Morning." "Oh my God, Teresa!" "Are you all right?" "Is that any way to drive?" "She jumped right out in front of me..." "You shouldn't drive so fast!" "It wasn't so fast." "Come on girls, come..." "In any case you shouldn't let your kids get out control." "Why don't you just go?" "Can't you see what a fright you've given us?" "Come... come on." "Come on..." "towards that tree over there..." "You photographers... over here." "This is better angle." "All right, gentlemen..." "get your flashes ready." "Today... is a day for the history books." "Ladies and gentlemen." "The new P3!" "From now on they will be known as the Alfas of the Ferrari team!" "And this... this will be our trademark, the prancing horse!" "Yeah but Ferrari..." "who's going to drive them?" "Don't worry sir..." "we have with us..." "Campari!" "Thank you, thank you... thank you Enzo..." "thank you very much..." "But he's not the only star we have engaged!" "We have also Varzi, Chiron..." "Where is that sonof' bitch?" "God knows..." "Just a moment - just a moment, ladies and gentlemen..." "Here he is..." "ladies and gentlemen ...Tazio..." "Nuvolari!" "Enzo..." "How are ya, ace?" "Please - have a seat!" "Ya sonofabitch - what the hell are you up to?" "I want to win." "And if you were to rent me-e, let's say-y, for a whole season...?" "I thought you'd never ask." "Come on!" "Good evening!" "I came to apologize" "and also..." "I'd like to ask you out." "As usual, you go too fast." "So is that yes... or no?" "That depends where you'd like to take me." "Ah, you choose." "Just give me one moment to get ready." "Eh, heh." "All the time you want." "Here we are." "These are my sisters." "I wouldn't go anywhere without them," "We already had plans, but..." "if you want you can drive us." "Nice to meet you." "He IS an interesting man but isn't he too old for you?" "Father was twenty years older than Mamma." "I only know that I like him." "A little off-key..." "Oh that was such fun!" "A singer I'm not..." "Ooh, I DID drink too much..." "Beautiful evening!" "Thanks to you... we had a great time." "Good night." "Thank you, good night." "I'll be right there." "Forgive me, I... promise the next time we go out we'll be alone." "No... it was a beautiful evening." "Flora only... stepped on my feet a few hundred times, but..." "Anyway." "I'm the one who should be begging forgiveness." "Why?" "Because..." "I have to make a confession, but I don't know how to begin..." "Go on." "...I'm married." "It's so late, I really have to go." "Thank you for asking me out." "Why?" "You promised me we'd go out, and look at you." "Go out yourself... don't feel like it." "I can't take it anymore..." "That a threat?" "Enzo please..." "I want my husband back." "Well, if you're not happy." "I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do about it." "No it's no good, we have to start all over." "Ok..." "let's shut it off." "No, leave it running!" "We have to be ready in four days." "We can't keep going on like this..." "What's happened to you?" "None of your business." "Of course it's not." "Let's get back to work..." "we need to adjust the double coupler here." "Hand me the wrench." "Enzo..." "Everything's all right..." "stay out of the way!" "You better?" "Come on, let's get him outside..." "No no no no..." "let me go home." "I'll go with you." "No I'm ok on my own..." "I'm ok..." "Are you sure?" "Yeah yeah, just concentrate on the engine." "Sorry to bother you at this hour..." "What is it?" "Oh my God!" "What happened?" "I needed to see you..." "At four in the morning?" "I have something important to tell you." "I had an accident and and I thought I was gonna die..." "You sure you don't want a doctor?" "No... no, please." "All the doctor has to do is whisper and then tomorrow all Modena will be talking, you don't deserve that." "What do I care what people say?" "Let them talk." "Well that's all very nice." "I particularly like the way you make the story about Lina into a kind of... fairy tale." "Maybe because..." "that's how I want to remember it." "Anyway... it's very late..." "I'm tired." "Yeah sure..." "I just have..." "one last question before we break." "Which is?" "Did you imagine the consequences of that night of love?" "What are you inferring?" "That in a single hour your wife bound herself to you forever." "Yes, but she also gave me the most precious thing in the world." "Dino." "Dino." "Look..." "look, Dino!" "Look!" "With just over one lap to go, Tazio Nuvolari in the Alfa" "Romeo entered by the Scuderia Ferrari is in the lead..." "What, are you sleeping?" "He's fast asleep!" " followed by Von Hauschman in the Mercedes..." "Baiconin Borzacchini and Rudi Caracciola, both driving highly competitive Alfa Romeo P3s, trail the leaders now a lap ahead of Louis Chiron and Rene Dreyfuss in Bugattis and the rest of the pack!" "Enzo give me the baby." "Don't worry he's fine where he is... right, Dino?" "Are you crazy what do you think you're doing?" "With all this noise I'm going deaf!" "And don't you smell the gasoline it's gonna make him sick come on, give me the baby." "He'd better get used to it now because he's gonna smell it all his life, sit down - sit down." "There they are!" "It's-it's Nuvolari..." "and Von Hauschman!" "They're entering the final straight!" "It's Nuvolari, it's Nuvolari..." "Von Hauschman has fallen behind!" "He's gonna do it!" "He's gonna do it!" "...Go!" "Go-o!" "Red!" "Go-o-o-o!" "But it's Tazio Nuvolari who takes the flag and the winner's saurels, barely one second ahead of the Mercedes!" "What a great drive by the Italian from Mantua!" "Congratulations." "You were great... but I'm glad you lost!" "That's life." "You know what I think?" "You can win all the races in the world, but when you're holding your little boy in your arm... you understand... that it's the most beautiful thing that can happen to you." "You even lie to yourself." "The most beautiful thing, the most precious thing." "The truth is, by having that child she caught you in her web." "Dino... was just... a pawn." "How dare you speak like that about my son?" "Get out of my office!" "Get out of he-ere!" "Get ou-ut!" "I think you oughta see a doctor you're really crazy, y'know that?" "Papa?" "Papa..." "What're you doing?" "You spent the whole evening here?" "You gotta take care of yourself..." "come on let's go home." "Come on." "What time is it?" "It's past midnight come on, let's go." "Where is that guy?" "What guy?" "The newspaper guy, that arrogant little pest." "l-I agreed to." "Give him an interview." "I don't know what I was thinking." "Hold on." "That's his name... hm?" "Find out who he is." "I want all the facts, everything." "Sure." "Let's go." "Here, put your coat on, it's cold." "Enzo, don't go..." "Will you miss me?" "What're you doing?" "Poor thing." "She could see her happiness right there in front of her but she could never reach it." "Lina?" "There's kid... who's been conning his way into my office... pretending he's a journalist." "I don't trust him." "I don't trust him..." "Hello Mr. Ferrari." "Seems like you've had a really lousy day." "You are not a journalist." "I've made inquiries and nobody knows who you are." "You talk me into sharing my secrets with you" "I gave you access to my life I almost trusted you." "Why have you come here?" "Ok ok, so I made a mistake." "Pretending to be a reporter was the only way I knew how to get in here." "To do what?" "Well the truth is I'm trying to be a race driver." "Everybody wants to be a hero... these days." "Come on Mr. Ferrari I'm not so different from you when you were starting out." "You used to play a little fast and loose with the truth to get what you needed and even compromised your morality too." "That's a lie." "...like making deals with Nazis when it was necessary?" "I supported only the partisans." "Just like you did in '43 when you moved to Maranello and started playing a dangerous game collaborator by day... partisan by night." "I gave them money and arms but I had to keep up a facade... otherwise the Germans would have destroyed my factory." "I had sixty families to support!" "Stay still!" "You!" "Traitor!" "You make weapons for partisan bandits?" "No no no what weapons, I..." "I construct valves under German patent." "Listen, just tell the truth." "You are not fooling anyone." "Do you recognize me?" "Do you recognize me?" "Von Hauschman number 26 uhh Mercedes..." "Racetrack at... at Reims..." "You were first, I was second." "And what's this... this your revenge?" "No Ferrari, I always wanted to race in once of your cars, so I'm going to keep you safe, no?" "Lay low for a while." "It's getting dangerous." "I'm going to have trouble keeping you alive." "And what're you going to do?" "Trust me, it's safer for you not to know." "You think I don't know where you're going, don't you?" "Laura that's enough." "Dino darling, say goodbye to your daddy." "Enough!" "Don't worry, Dino..." "When will you come back home?" "As soon as I can and then we'll be together again... hah?" "Always together." "Don't worry!" "Hi Lina." "Enzo." "Are you alone?" "They all went to my aunt's." "Aren't you afraid?" "Not now you're here." "Yes, but I can't stay." "But you're safe here..." "no one will look for you." "No... there are spies everytwhere, you could get into trouble for helping me, I have to go." "No Enzo, don't go, please..." "I shouldn't have come at all..." "Not tonight." "Boss, look what they've done..." "Everybody over here." "This is the sketch of our new model." "We'll call it the Ferrari 1-2-5." "Huh?" "All right men let's get this place into shape." "In a few days the Allies will be here... 'n we can all go back to doing what we do best - let's go come on." "Ok come on!" "See, Beppe?" "We may be wounded but we're still alive." "So, what's going on?" "How is it coming?" "It's getting there." "Good." "Let's fire it up." "Ok!" "Let's take it apart and start over." "Yes but you have to finish by tomorrow morning." "Right now." "I'd say that seems pretty tough." "When was it ever easy, Vittorio?" "Tomorrow the journalists will all be here." "I promised them the prototype." "Sorry Enzo... but this time I'm afraid..." "you'll just have to change the date." "The car has to be ready tomorrow morning!" "We need at least another 24 hours." "We haven't got another 24 hours for God's sake!" "Enzo, what is it?" "What is it Enzo?" "Are you ok?" "Are y-?" "Yeah yehyehyeh..." "Enzo..." "Yeahyeahyeah... just a little twinge." "Listen!" "If you don't want me to have a heart attack, please, don't let me down right now, because either we get this car on the road or there is a good chance this place will go under." "All right, let's winch her up." "So that's how you built your cars, sir... on everybody else's back... conning them into playing your game." "Everything in this world that's worth doing involves playing with human nature." "But why am I telling you this, you are just a boy who walked out of the fog." "You know, it's funny, buy I am actually very curious about your life, because you've..." "always been an inspiration to me" "Just as I know you were to your children." "Children are very fragile things especially... children of men like me." "Go on Lina... push... push..." "here it comes... here it comes, I feel it." "Come meet your son." "Happy now?" "And you have the nerve to come into this house?" "Get out!" "Get out right now!" "Get out!" "It's over Enzo I'm leaving you forever and I'm taking Dino with me!" "Dino is not going anywhere." "You can go wherever you want... but Dino stays with me." "You don't have the right!" "You don't have the right!" "I'll tell them everything everything, dammit I'll expose you!" "Stop it Mamma, please, stop!" "I can't take it anymore!" "Dino!" "Dino!" "Dino-o!" "Dino!" "Dino!" "Why did you run away?" "Mamma says you have another lady..." "and also... another little boy..." "It's not true." "Look me in the eye." "I'll never lie to you." "Do you believe me?" "Then why do you and Mama always fight?" "I promise." "I promise we won't do it anymore... hm?" "Don't worry..." "Come on..." "let's go home." "I can't, my legs hurt." "Come on, lean on me." "You are just tired... huh?" "Come on." "Dammit, the spring is shot!" "Campagnolo get me a new spring!" "Goddammit!" "Forget it Tazio..." "get out and quit... it's over." "Yeah Ferrari." "You may think I'm too old for this game" "But I still got it in me." "I'm gonna with this one." "I can feel it." "Very well, Dino, come, come here!" "But since you're determined to get yourself killed... try to be a bit more clever than the German guy." "W'how so?" "How about this: in a couple of kilometers ...pull off the road and hide." "If he falls for it, he'll think you're in the lead and he'll blow his engine..." "trying to catch up." "Then he's really screwed." "You hear that?" "Listen and learn, kid." "Great minds think alike." "See you at the finish line Ferrari." "Think he'll make it Papa?" "You can count on it, you can count on it." "Dino?" "Come here." "You see?" "We're trying to understand why we've broken down." "Don't touch him." "Are you hurt?" "Don't touch him!" "It's ok Dino." "It's ok, you just tripped." "Stand up." "Stand up!" "You're right Papa..." "I just tripped ...now I'll get up... see?" "...I can do it by myself." "There you go... you can make it..." "you can do it by yourself." "See?" "I did it!" "Go back to work." "Ok good." "Do you feel anything?" "No" "Nothing?" "No." "Ok, that's it." "All right, let's sit down." "You can put your shoes back on." "Could you come over please?" "Please have a seat." "Well, doctor?" "I wish I could tell you more, Mr. Ferrari." "Your son is having increasing difficulty walking, and that's not something I like to see." "We'll have to carry out some specific tests, including a neurological assessment ...X- rays" "and... well, all we can to make a proper diagnosis." "Papa, am I gonna be ok?" "Of course you are." "I promise." "Darling..." "Mamma will sleep with you tonight... hm?" "Ok!" "Mamma..." "Papa..." "I'm sorry." "It's ok, you're just a little tired, now try to sleep." "Don't go papa... please... not tonight." "But... where do you think I'm going?" "I'm right in there, if you need me... just call me, don't worry." "Good night." "I'll be right back sweetie." "Always the liar huh?" "You promised you wouldn't go." "But you can't wait to run to her." "Dino had such a strong will." "For years he seemed to keep his illness in check." "But over time it too grew strong, and finally it caught up with us..." "Help me!" "Dino, give him air, hey - can you hear me?" "Just breathe, huh?" "Breathe, breathe..." "Hello?" "Where?" "Dino!" "What happened?" "He was working on the drafting table, and then suddenly went pale... and fainted" "Are you ok?" "Yes!" "Papa..." "I'm ok..." "I bet you forgot to take your medicine..." "No, I took it." "And your exercises?" "I did them." "Ah!" "You're just tired... eh?" "You're already better." "I can see you're already better..." "I won't give up." "I'll take him to the best specialists." "I'll win this." "It's my fault you know." "I've done too little, far too little for him," "and now I'm being punished for it." "What're you talking about?" "You're blaming Piero and me?" "No..." "You have nothing to do with it, it's all me." "You won't see me for a while." "I have to take care of Dino." "You do what you have to do and don't worry about us." "Piero and I... will wait." "I've given you plenty of time." "He's only getting worse." "If you people don't know what to do, just say so..." "and I'll take him someplace else." "Commendatory... perhaps I've failed to explain to you the seriousness of the situation." "Your son... has a degenerative disorder of the muscle tissue." "The name of this condition is muscular dystrophy." "Fine... it has a name..." "what we need is a cure." "Yes of course..." "that's exactly what we need." "Unfortunately our understanding of this disease is still quite limited, and at the present time..." "a cure does not exist." "I only wish I could offer you some hope." "Hope... heh, what are you talking about?" "You're a doctor, not a priest!" "We are talking about my son!" "You must be mad!" "Mad!" "Sir, I can well understand that this news may be difficult for you to accept but as his father..." "you need to know the truth, because this condition is progressive and it's relentless." "It will not stop." "There's nothing we can do." "Do you understand what we're telling you Mr. Ferrari?" "Sir?" "Do you understand?" "Faster Papa!" "Come on!" "More, Papa!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!" "I'm sorry Dino, but I can't..." "I tried but I don't have the courage." "Papa..." "Hm?" "I'm not angry with you because you couldn't cure me but because of the lies..." "you told me... the lies, Papa." "Help me!" "Papa help me..." "I don't wanna die with this anger inside of me." "Please Papa, let me ask you..." "one question... and please... this time... please, please, tell me the truth..." "D'ya... do you love us..." "as much as you live them?" "I love you Dino." "I love you more than anybody..." "I ever..." "loved in my life!" "Just hold me Papa... stay with me..." "Don't leave me..." "Don't leave me." "See... how much I paid for my success?" "Do you believe in destiny?" "Destiny is merely any excuse." "You're wrong." "There are things that... that even the strongest will..." "cannot overcome." "You know, some years ago..." "the tomb was... vandalized." "His bones were spread all around as if... my son's death itself" "had not caused enough pain." "Who did it?" "I never found out." "Some sonofabitch like you." "Hm." "It's ok..." "I've got you." "You said you wanna bit a driver, huh?" "Come with me." "Guess I scared ya huh?" "All right, you showed me you know how to drive." "Come by the office tomorrow." "You want a contract?" "Done." "Contract?" "Y'know that was almost convincing the way you said that" "I mean if I actually had an interest in being a driver" "I might've been taken in by it." "How dare you play games with me?" "Put your hands on me again..." "and I might forget you're an old man." "I may be an old man..." "but who the hell are you?" "You remember Marco Giugni?" "The best test driver you ever had?" "You even offered him a place on the team but he didn't live long enough to take it or to get to know his own son." "Do you remember him..." "Mr. Ferrari?" "Ok kid - show me what this car can do." "Come on!" "Move!" "Now you know how it went, it was simple fate." "Yeah sure... the truth is..." "in trying to build a more powerful engine you simple ignored the risks to the drivers." "The experts didn't agree with that conclusion." "So then the others?" "Ascari..." "Castellotti, Collins?" "...all dead." "Huh?" "Ohh ok I get it, it was always the driver's fault," "Or... maybe the girlfriends who distracted them, never the car." "I have nothing to regret." "Is that what you told the judges after the disaster in 1957?" "I mean they, they gave you..." "long enough to make your case." "In one crash... 12 people were killed." "How do you respond to the rumors circulating about a possible problem with the brakes on De Portago's car?" "As you say they are just rumors so they don't interest me." "The car passed... all of our inspections." "For now I have nothing else to tell you." "As you're aware... a judicial inquiry ...is in progress... so..." "A judicial inquiry?" "You can't hide behind your silence!" "Gentlemen, gentlemen please calm down, calm down, thank you." "Commendatory... just this morning the-e Vatican newspaper uh, 'Osservatore Romano' referred to you as a "new..." "Saturn who devours his own children..."" "Just wondered... how you respond." "I think that uh... everybody's free to write whatever he please." "My conscience is clear." "Anyway, if there is blame the judges will decide." "But you have no right... none of you has ...to come here and behave like jackals." "Instead of accusing us, answer the questions!" "You owe us answers!" "Answers." "What answers?" "You've already condemned me... gentlemen." "This press conference is over, thank you all, sirs." "You're a monster!" "Absolutely!" "You should be ashamed of yourselves!" "Come on let's get outta here." "You don't really think I'm a monster, do you?" "Well you're not exactly a saint." "I see." "Well others have tried to put me on trial, but in the end I've always been proven innocent... totally absolved." "And inside have you absolved yourself?" "Well?" "Ok." "Where are you dong?" "Come back!" "Hi Piero, it's me." "I need you to do something for me." "There was a test driver, his name was Marco Giugni." "He had a son." "I want you to find out everything you can on him." "What are you doing here?" "I've been waiting for you." "How the hell did you know I'd come here?" "I know lotsa things about you Mr. Ferrari." "Such as that right now, you need me." "Need you?" "Don't be absurd." "I've never needed anybody." "Can I get in?" "Thanks." "Can I just ask you to clarify that please?" "Never needed anybody..." "that's inclusive of family members, right?" "Well like your son, Piero..." "I mean from what I've heard, uh..." "I love Piero, just as I loved Dino." "Really?" "Yes." "I took care of him, I gave him a future" "I gave him my name." "Look out there, Piero." "See that motorboat?" "It's elegant... fast... aggressive but it will never be as powerful as that ship." "We are like that motorboat..." "beautiful... fast... but small... very small." "If we want to be around in the future we need to be more like that ship, big... imposing... hm?" "Whattya wanna do Papa?" "Eh, our way..." "of building cars... is obsolete." "Either we make changes or we disappear." "Please." "Would you mind if we had a little bit o'light on the subject?" "Can't see where I'm puttin' my feet." "Well we were simply waiting for Mr. Ford to pay the bill..." "But since you asked..." "let there be light!" "Wow!" "This sure is sumpn' Mr. Ferrari!" "I feel like a kid in a toy store..." "Please!" "Ah, let me introduce... our Giulia." "How do you do, Wilbur Paradise..." "Pleased to meet you." "Pleased to meet YOU." "This is our..." "latest prototype." "That sure is sumpn' isn't it?" "And this... this is the Super America." "And this one..." "Super Fast." "I gotta tell you sir..." "I've been a fan o'your work my whole life, it's a pleasure to be here." "Thank you very much." "Would you like ...something to drink?" "Well why not?" "What the hell, huh boys?" "Please." "Thank you." "So, to Ford, Ferrari  Audi." "Vittorio" "they told me you were here." "What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?" "Saying goodbye to my cars." "Why?" "I can survive without women... but without the sound of your engines ...never!" "Well..." "I'm going to have to say goodbye to them at any rate." "I don't understand." "You want to leave me?" "I'm not speaking about what I want." "Enzo, I've been diagnosed... with cancer." "There are cures now." "You have to be cured I need you." "Don't worry about the money, I'll pay for everything but you can't, Vittorio, you can't leave me like this." "Believe me..." "I certainly..." "didn't get sick to get out of my contract." "Look Enzo..." "just focus on your deal with Ford." "You have to be careful if that doesn't work out" "You risk losing a lot more than just me." "I'm sorry Mr. Paradise." "Maybe your lawyers made a mistake but this is not what we agreed to." "I beg your pardon sir?" "Why didn't you guys notice the double-talk and the fine print?" "I really don't understand, Mr. Ferrari." "I'm not signing." "Now, now wait a minute, just hold your horses here..." "I made myself clear about the sports car division right from the start." "Ohhh yes, an' an' and nobody's tryin' to rob that from you Mr. Ferrari." "It's just that at the Ford Motorcar Corporation when we make expenditures above a certain level..." "It has to be cleared through Detroit." "It's our normal corporate operatin' procedure... that's all." "And uhmm exactly... how much can I spend before asking the permission of Detroit?" "Well sir you could spend up to exactly one hundred thousand dollars." "100,000 dollars and uhhh what am I supposed to do with uhh 100,000 dollars?" "From where I'm sittin' sir 100,000 dollars is an awful lot o' money..." "But you know how much I spent last year?" "Five times that much." "I'm sorry gentlemen..." "but I'm not the person you're looking for." "I-I-I think you're makin' a real mistake sir." "Work, work is something I give never seek." "The meeting is over." "So?" "How did it go?" "Like shit." "I see, I-I've got more bad news I'm afraid Enzo." "This morning." "Vittorio Jano killed himself." "I'll wait for you outside." "Vittorio Jano is gone." "So everybody start your engines." "If Vittorio hears it he'll be, he'll be less lonely." "The deal with Ford... has gone to hell." "They wanted to be the bosses in our house, and that I could never allow." "Guys, we are facing... hard time ahead." "The competition is getting... tougher." "Anyone who wants to leave can leave." "I won't hold anybody back." "Our only goal will be to make Ferrari even stronger and I know that together we'll do just that." "Ten years later I sold the company to Fiat, without having to sacrifice my independence..." "It all started for me on this very bench, Piero." "Let me tell you something." "I'll have free rein..." "over the sports car division and you, you'll be on the advisory board of the new "Ferrari."" "Ok?" "Come on, eat your sandwich." "Back in the kingdom." "But tell me... with all your success, why is it you never left Maranello?" "Maybe if I go somewhere else." "I'm a face in the crowd." "Here, I'm..." "Enzo Ferrari." "So, you pests, what do you want from me now?" "Mr. Ferrari is it true Lauda's leaving the team?" "It seems he doesn't like the food at Maranello." "I make my own drivers." "I found a-a... a brilliant young Canadian." "His name is..." "Gilles..." "Villeneuve." "Gilles Villeneuve, he's going to be the next big thing..." "What's his lap time?" "One twelve." "Oh, good." "Add the usual second..." "keep him from getting over-confident." "But..." "Papa..." "Do it." "...and there's the No.27 Ferrari spinning out in second place, looks like a tire exploded!" "Gilles Villenueve was in his element out there today, but once again his will to win has ended in structural failure." "But no!" "He's back on the track, on 3 wheels!" "A show of determination that's been the plucky Canadian's trademark since his debut in Formula I... but, with Jody Sheckter virtually out of the running and Alan Jones comfortably in the lead, this is going to be another disappointing race for Ferrari...!" "Look at the damage you've done." "What do you think you're racing, a bumper car?" "Stop smashing up my cars you are pissing me off." "I need you to start winning, is that clear?" "Very clear If I don't win Sunday, sir..." "I'll get up and walk away of my own free will." "Let's go have lunch." "That's the way Gilles, that's the way!" "Don't let him pass!" "Go-o!" "Go-o!" "Don't let him pass!" "Arnoux challenges, but Vileneuve shuts him out, masterfully holding onto the lead on the outside..." "At the chicane it's Villeneuve ahead by a whisker, but the Renault is still there and Arnoux scrambles past on the dirt as they accelerate away." "What a great show these two drivers are putting on today!" "The crowd is on its feet." "Villeneuve fights back - again on the outside, breaking a split second later to momentarily taker the advantage." "Looks like they touched wheels, as Villeneuve drives like a man with a mission." "He's showing all his skill and talent on the track today..." "Arnoux, using the Renault's superior acceleration, takes the lead!" "...What a duel this is - neck and neck into the next corner," "Villeneuve gets his nose in front of the Renault," "Villeneuve with the advantage on the inside!" "The red Ferrari in command through the chicane bearing down on the finish line!" "Who is it?" "You." "Me?" "Wonderful." "It was years since I'd seen driving like that." "It was racing that reminded me of Nuvolari." "Like Nuvolari, Gilles didn't know the point of no return..." "It frightened me..." "Let your sister have turn." "Noo, it's still my turn!" "All right, one more minute." "What's this?" "That's something you shouldn't touch right now..." "Good morning Joanna." "Good morning." "How are you?" "Fine thanks." "Hi Jacques!" "How do you like the car?" "Fine!" "Gilles." "How is the new engine?" "Good... it's good sir." "Look at them." "You have such a beautiful family, two wonderful children but if you keep driving like you do..." "Excuse me sir..." "I don't understand." "You are not happy with my performance?" "Is that what you're trying to tell me?" "Are you ok sir?" "Everything is ok sir?" "Yeah." "Family is very important, Gilles." "Very important." "Absolutely sir." "It's the only other thing in my life... as important to me as racing." "And that's... just as it should be Gilles, but y'know what they say about champions." "There's a new one... every Sunday." "Go back to them now." "G'bye sir." "Gilles Villeneuve..." "reminded me of how I'd been:" "so young and full of life... of hopes." "It was like a message from the past." "But then, that last light went out too." "In that final crash... he flew up into the air for a moment that wouldn't end." "He was like a little bird ...with a broken wing." "Once again you lost a son." "By now I suppose you feel you've lived your life under a curse, is that right?" "I don't believe in curses." "I'm not superstitious." "They were real people..." "Who I knew and cared about, and they are dead... all dead." "I'm well aware of that, sir..." "The dead... are dead, yes, W'I hardly meant to be insensitive." "It's just that I have this ...enormous curiosity about..." "I didn't kill them." "I never said you did." "It was their choice." "Of course it was... they knew the risks." "Just like you said, you had nothing to do with it." "Hello?" "Papa, I knew I'd find you there." "I was just leaving, Piero." "Uh, listen uhh, I just found out about Giugni's son... and it seems he did have a son after all, but... he died five years ago." "Papa..." "Papa, you ok?" "Yes I'm fine." "Thank you for the information... 'bye." "So... where were we?" "Who are you?" "And what are we doing here?" "Hm." "All the big question." "Stop fucking with me." "Ok!" "How about this then?" "You remember this, right?" "What do you want?" "A moment... of honesty." "Just put down the mask give up the myth for a moment." "I'd like to heart it from your own mouth." "One question, only one question I want you to answer, and then I'll leave." "Knowing what you know now... all the people who had to die to realize your dream, all the... suffering you caused to people around you," "would you do it over?" "Try to answer, Mr:" "Ferrari, not for me... but for youself." "There is no... triumph or glory in the world that's worth and inch of human skin." "Ok!" "And?" "And." "If I could bring back those boys every one who died." "I would" "and..." "I'd give up everything." "Ok." "I've heard what I wanted to hear." "Guess that's it." "It's time for me to go now." "Thank you for being here tonight," "but... before you go, please tell me," "Who you really are." "Just a boy who came out of the fog..." "Did you love us as much as you loved them?" "I'm the one, who's slowing down." "I think... we'll be together very soon..." "Usually I don't talk to journalists." "They write... nothing but lies about me." "Well I'm really honored you've mad an exception for me, sir." "She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen in my life... standing there in that, uh, purple dress." "Red and purple." "How the hell did you know I'd come here?" "I know lotsa things about you Mr. Ferrari." "The poor thing." "She could see her happiness right there in front of her but she could never reach it." "That's his name." "Find out who he is... ok?" "Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around..." "Faster, faster!" "Faster!" "Faster!"
