02:25Giacomo, what are you doing?
02:27I do not want to forget the moment.
02:29Oh.
02:31What is it you are writing?
02:33A manual on lovemaking.
02:35Oh.
02:36Can I see it?
02:37Later, mi amore.
02:39Right now, we have work to do.
02:41Mmm.
02:42Mmm.
02:43Mmm.
02:44Mmm.
02:46Uh...
02:47My husband!
02:49My fiancé.
02:53Blasphemous fiend!
02:54You have gone too far.
02:55This time, we will turn you over to the authorities.
02:57Ah!
02:58Oh!
02:59♪♪
03:09Ah!
03:10Get him!
03:11You!
03:12Ah!
03:13Ah!

03:16Ah!
03:17Ah!

03:22Ah!
03:23Ah!
03:24In the kill!
03:25Ah!
03:26Ah!
03:55♪♪
04:11Nice stroke.
04:13Thanks.
04:15What's going on?
04:16I guess you haven't heard the news.
04:18You're getting married?
04:19No.
04:20Roberto Giannini has agreed to play with the university soccer team tonight in a charity
04:26fundraiser.
04:27Buongiorno.
04:28I'm Hudson.
04:29Buongiorno.
04:30I'm a squaller.
04:49The Roberto Giannini?
04:50Yeah.
04:51You have no idea who that is, do you?
04:52Not a clue.
04:53Well, who is he?
04:54He's on a book signing tour of the United States before going back to Italy for the
05:01World Cup.
05:02President Morris convinced him to play for us.
05:03What's his book?
05:04His autobiography.
05:05Soccer's Casanova.
05:06Are you serious?
05:07Apart from being a playboy, he wants you to find a book he believes Casanova wrote, his
05:10book of love.
05:11Easy, easy.
05:12You've got to be careful.
05:32Are you who I think you are?
05:35Who do you think I am?
05:37You know.
05:38I'm afraid so.
05:41Roberto Giannini.
05:43Pleasure.
05:46God.
05:47Grazie.
05:51President Morse, I would hardly call Casanova's book of love a relic.
05:55That's for starters.
05:56As for him doing us a favor, he's here promoting his book.
05:59We're doing him a favor.
06:01For you to volunteer my services is completely out of line.
06:05No, I would not like to come to your office to discuss this.
06:08Why?
06:09Because I'm not even remotely interested in helping some egocentric soccer jock
06:13load another round of ammo in his...
06:19I'll...
06:22get back to you.
06:30You are more beautiful than I was ever told.
06:33So...
06:35you are a fan of Casanova's.
06:38Masi.
06:40What do you know about him?
06:42What everyone else knows.
06:43That he's the world's greatest lover.
06:46It would please me more than anything to find his legendary book of love.
06:51I see.
06:53Why?
06:55Excuse me, I don't understand.
06:57Why would you want to help Casanova?
07:00Excuse me, I don't understand.
07:03Why do you want to find it? It's basically a sex manual.
07:06It's Casanova's sex manual.
07:09How could anyone resist?
07:11I certainly would.
07:13Really?
07:16Are you sure?
07:18Yes.
07:22Really?
07:25The book is only legend, Roberto.
07:28It probably doesn't even exist.
07:30Maybe, but if it does, I'm sure you can find it.
07:35Did you just hear what I said?
07:37My ears were not receiving.
07:39I was consumed with a stunning visual.
07:44I have to be honest with you, Roberto.
07:46This relic doesn't particularly interest me.
07:50Sydney, please, I hate it when women say no to me.
07:58You'll get used to it.
08:07Currently, it's 7.55 a.m. in Milan.
08:09Temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, 65 Fahrenheit.
08:14This exhibition of Casanova in Milano,
08:16it's going to show pieces that are over a hundred years old.
08:18Can you imagine?
08:20No.
08:22I'm sure you can, Sydney.
08:23I really can't, Roberto.
08:25Of course not.
08:28My manager is not going to be pleased with me at all.
08:30I was supposed to go home to do one of those cake ads.
08:33Cake?
08:34You know, cake.
08:36Beef cake.
08:37Si, si.
08:39Go ahead, feel it.
08:40That's okay.
08:41It's very hard.
08:42I'm sure it is.
08:43I work with weights, you know.
08:44Great.
08:45Don't be afraid.
08:46Touch it, feel it, do what you like.
08:47Go ahead.
08:48I'm sure it's very hard, but I just don't want to touch it.
08:53I think you have a problem with intimacy, Sydney.
08:55I do not have a problem with intimacy.
08:57I just don't want to touch it.
08:58No, Casanova's autobiography is fascinating.
09:01Ah, the history of my life.
09:03That's right.
09:04You read it?
09:05I read it.
09:06You read it?
09:07You didn't?
09:08No.
09:09Ah.
09:10What most people don't realize about Casanova
09:11was that he was more than a ladies' man.
09:13He was a poet.
09:14That's right.
09:15An artist, a novelist, a diplomat, even a spy.
09:20He wasn't just a great lover.
09:21He was a philosopher about love.
09:24Genuine love cannot ever be seen.
09:27The inscription on the title page.
09:29That's right.
09:57Ricardo!
10:10Hey.
10:11What are you doing here?
10:12No, Roberto.
10:13The question is, what are you doing here?
10:15We're supposed to be in Rome.
10:17I told you I was looking for the Book of Love.
10:19I've worked hard for these endorsements.
10:20They're very lucrative.
10:21Kate, this is important to me.
10:23More important than your financial future?
10:24I'm doing fine.
10:25I got money forever.
10:26How many years do you think you have left?
10:28A deal.
10:29What if you get hurt?
10:30They won't want your face on a cereal box.
10:32Kate, I don't want to talk about this.
10:34No, you never do.
10:36Kate, I'm sorry.
10:37Please, don't be angry.
10:39Where are you staying?
10:40With your uncle again?
10:41The rich one, huh?
10:42At least he treats me well.
10:43Hello, here they come.
10:44The ones who are going to help me find the book.
10:46Sydney, Nigel, and manager Kate Crowley.
10:48Hello.
10:49Hi.
10:50Hey.
10:51You played a great game for the university.
10:52You scored the winning goal.
10:53Always does.
10:54Kate doesn't share my passion for the book a lot.
10:56I see you.
10:57Ciao.
11:00I only want the best for him.
11:02I understand.
11:04This search, it comes at the expense of too many other things.
11:07Look, the last thing I want to do is get in the way of his game,
11:10but he wants his book, and it's our job now to find it.
11:13Hopefully you can do it quickly.
11:15We'll try.
11:17I'd appreciate that.
11:19So would his fans.
11:21We'll try to make it happen.
11:22We'll try to make it as quick and painless as possible.
11:31Yes, we love you.
11:40This is the most extensive Casanova exhibit in 50 years.
11:43Casanova studied medicine with Dr. Godsey in Padua.
11:48He fell in love with his little sister, Bettina.
11:50He fell in love with his little sister, Bettina.
12:02His law degree.
12:13Don't tell me he was a violinista as well.
12:16In the Orchestra of San Samuel Theater.
12:19In the Orchestra of San Samuel Theater.
12:29From his spy period.
12:31Is there anything that he could not do?
12:34Maintain a healthy, mature relationship.
12:43What he did was this.
12:46One can only imagine.
12:47A monk, how curious.
12:49Looks more like a peeping tom.
12:53I still don't see any reference or clue to his book of love.
12:56No.
12:59Signor Giannini.
13:01Ciao.
13:03Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
13:05I'm sure there is.
13:08I mean, regarding the exhibit.
13:11Can you tell me if there's anything about Casanova's book of love?
13:14Yes, everybody asks about that.
13:17But there's really no proof that he ever wrote such a book.
13:21So, I'm afraid you'll have to learn about it some other way.
13:25If you insist.
13:29Casanova.
13:31Yes, everything Casanova wanted everybody to know about his life and his loves,
13:35he wrote in his autobiography.
13:37And the original handwritten text is right over there.
13:41The original?
13:42Yes, it's done in his own hand.
13:56It's in old Italian.
13:58A vernacular particular to Venice in the 1700s.
14:06Genuine love cannot ever be seen.
14:08Genuine love cannot ever be seen.
14:13What is it?
14:14Well, the inscription is translated incorrectly.
14:16It's not genuine love cannot ever be seen.
14:18That's the idiomatic translation.
14:20The literal translation is
14:23true love is invisible to the naked eye.
14:27It had to be naked in there somewhere.
14:30You want a closer look at the Spanish scripts?
14:38Attention ladies and gentlemen.
14:41The museum is now closing for lunch.
14:44We will reopen in one hour at two o'clock.
15:09In his book, Casanova mentions that he
15:11delivered secret messages in invisible ink while he was spying.
15:15You think he wrote something in invisible ink?
15:17I don't know, but that quote sure got me curious.
15:20True love is invisible to the naked eye.
15:23And then there's this.
15:25We need a little space between the lines.
15:28How do we check it?
15:29In Casanova's time, he would have used lemon juice to reactivate the ink.
15:32I wouldn't take that chance.
15:34The paper's too old.
15:36We need something ultraviolet.
15:38The machine they used to scan currency to check the watermark.
15:53I think I have it.
15:59Too much garlic.
16:08No!
16:19No!
16:23No!
16:39No!
16:43No!
17:00My dear...
17:02My dear friend, Umberto.
17:05If you are reading this...
17:10Message? Message?
17:12If you're reading this message, then I am no longer...
17:16No longer of this earth.
17:17Nigel!
17:18What?
17:19The Italians, although notorious for long lunches, do have to come back sometimes.
17:22I'm doing my best, okay? My 17th century Italian is just a little rusty.
17:25Just hurry.
17:28My beloved book is in the garage.
17:33Garage?
17:34Oh, the garden. The garden. The garden of...
17:36Earthly delights.
17:37Yes.
17:38That's that painting we saw.
17:41Go there.
17:43Go there and introduce yourself to Isabella.
17:48Isabella?
17:50And she will give it to you.
17:52Close the garden. Seal it with a last kiss.
17:58And go upstairs and toast my life.
18:04With a gilded rose.
18:23There.
18:34Ciao.
18:35Ciao.
18:36Ciao.
18:37Anna?
18:38How are you?
18:39Does the term gilded rose mean anything to you?
18:42Gilded rose?
18:43Yes, it's a drink.
18:44Drink?
18:45Yes, well, Casanova, when he would travel, he returned from the Far East,
18:49so he brought back Star Anise.
18:51Gave it to a bartender, one of his favorite cafes, and that's what he called it.
18:55It was his favorite.
18:57The cafe?
18:59Oh.
19:00Ah, Cafe Biagio. Yes, it's still there.
19:03Does it look the same?
19:04Oh, no, no, it's completely redone.
19:06I must go. Ciao.
19:08Look, completely redone.
19:10Well, the clue says to get the gilded rose upstairs from the garden.
19:13Maybe they didn't redo what was underneath.
19:15Let's hope.
19:16Okay, I know I promised I'd be back today,
19:18but we almost find the book.
19:21Ah, look, I'll call you back.
19:22Say, I'll call you back. Ciao.
19:24Ciao.
19:25Ah, look, I'll call you back.
19:26Say, I'll call you back. Ciao.
19:28Ciao.
19:31Hey, Bella.
19:34Grazie.
19:36Well, to great minds.
19:38Pure hearts.
19:39Hard bodies.
19:40Salute.
19:45Well, I guess it's an acquired taste.
19:47All right.
19:48The message said Umberto was to come upstairs when he got the book.
19:52So that means we must go downstairs.
19:54We can't very well just explore their basement.
19:56No, but we certainly have the right to use the toilet.
19:58And that is no doubt in the basement.
20:04Grazie.
20:06Grazie.
20:08Grazie.
20:22Buongiorno.
20:23Buongiorno.
20:29Well, this is more like it.
20:44There's some kind of fresco behind here.
20:48Anything?
20:49Well, maybe.
20:51Let's move this out.
20:53That's it, Johnny!
20:56Nice catch.
20:57Thanks.
20:58You know, I used to play a bit of soccer myself.
21:01The exhilaration of watching the ball slam into the back of the net never leaves you, no matter how many times you score.
21:09Right.
21:11Thank you, Umberto. I'm fine now.
21:14Why are you afraid of me?
21:16I'm not afraid of you.
21:17I think you are.
21:19I'm glad you think you know me so well.
21:21I would not disappoint you.
21:23I think we should get back to what we were doing.
21:26Of course.
21:35Look at this.
21:39There's something in here.
21:43Sealed with a kiss?
21:52Nothing.
21:53What are you looking for?
21:54Usually there's a latch or a lever.
21:56Something hidden that opens the entrance.
21:58She's so beautiful.
22:00She's so beautiful.
22:03Roberto, please.
22:12You've got to be kidding me.
22:14You have to admit, it's original.
22:16I don't know what you're talking about.
22:19You have to admit, it's original.
22:37This is where Casanova did his best work.
22:49Well, the next part of the message says,
22:53to find Isabella, introduce yourself to her,
22:57and she will give you the book.
23:00Who is Isabella?
23:02One of Casanova's lovers.
23:08Introduce yourself to Isabella.
23:12All right.
23:19Hello, I'm Nigel.
23:23Mia bella Isabella.
23:26Buona sera.
23:33What are you doing?
23:45Casanova's book of love.
23:49What?
23:54His life secrets of making love to women.
23:57It's going to be a fascinating read, I'm sure.
23:59Don't you think?
24:01Not really interested.
24:02No?
24:03No.
24:05You're not even in the slightest bit curious?
24:07Not really.
24:08Oh.
24:09Oh.
24:10I think they are.
24:18Oh.
24:48Oh.

26:25They had to be they knew exactly what they were looking for that's why the guy in the suit took off
26:29He knew somebody else would mop up after him. They must have followed us from the museum to the cafe
26:36Did you see the tattoo on his arm yeah some kind of snake I've seen it before I can't remember where
26:42She's leaving
26:44Her uncle's driver is taking her to the airport
26:48She wouldn't even talk to me. You can't let her leave like this Roberto. Why not?
26:53Because she's in love with you
26:55Kate yes very much so
27:00How do you know you don't need a book for some things?

27:59Kate what are you doing with the book of love?
28:04You stole it
28:06You did it my understanding is you never actually had possession. Hey, how could you do this?
28:12How could you do this do what you know? I don't know you must know. I don't know you don't know
28:18Oh, no, then take your damn book

28:29What have you done for me? I've done lots of things for you. Do you want to know what you've done?
28:34Yes, do you really want to know what you've done? Yes, take me for granted
28:39Without as much as a simple. Thank you. I
28:42Love women
28:45I'm told this quite healthy to be in love with you
28:48Arrogant brat
28:55You're impossible I
28:58Know that
29:00But why did you steal my book?
29:02If you can't figure it out
29:05You don't deserve to know oh
29:08My god
29:14Good
29:18I
29:31Knew it could be done
29:39Coming
29:41Is
29:46There a problem what's that?
29:54It's uh, it's it's a long story
30:05Sydney what are you doing?
30:11You've got to be kidding me tag-team match
30:16Kate Kate
30:24She was angry we
30:26She stole the book for reasons that are not clear to me. That's pretty clear to me. Really?
30:31Just trying to get your attention any way she can
30:35At least do we have the book
30:37Not exactly Roberto, what do you mean? She blew it three guys just took off in a beige sports car. They grabbed it again
30:48We're lost but maybe not I think I remember where I saw that snake before
30:55When cousin over was alive he constantly challenged the religious and social morals of the day
31:01Well as a result, he became the target of a tremendous amount of prejudice
31:07So the monk in the picture represents the church
31:09Yes, that's right. The church. Well the church as well as a zealous group of monks
31:15They called themselves the brothers of Eden and this snake must be the serpent from the Garden of Eden. Yes, that's right
31:22You see the monks
31:24They dedicated themselves to destroying the evil. They felt that Adam and Eve had brought to the world
31:30Especially the sin of sexuality
31:33Sexuality is not a sin. It's a thing of beauty and wonder
31:38The brothers must have had a hard time with Casanova
31:42Yes, yes hard
31:45hard time they
31:47Tormented him and eventually he had to flee Italy to escape them
31:54What became of the brothers
31:56They maintain their monastery in Milano they were purged once they defied the Vatican's orders once too often
32:02But now basically there is small quiet peaceful order dedicated to caring for the poor
32:26A
32:30Quiet order dedicated to taking care of the poor, huh?
32:33The guys who stole the book from me were driving that car
32:37Leopards don't often change the spots
32:40Casanova's book is in there somewhere perhaps, but how are we gonna get inside?
32:44Would it help if I distract the monks? It's a good start

36:30What do you think this is for I have no idea well, I might have one or two ideas
36:57I guess we're stuck here. Whatever here is
37:20Interesting toy store you've got here. They are the work of the devil
37:27What are you doing with them they are icons of corruption and immorality
37:32Huh, so you steal them in stash room, yes
37:37And then what
37:40Exercise them of course
37:45I'm just curious. What do you do with all the issues of say playboy penthouse not to mention all those really nasty ones

38:09Is it art? Is it porn stuff that gets us into museums and art galleries?
38:13You got your work cut out for you the things in here from the past
38:17From a time when the world did not know the evil they represent because their evil is so powerful
38:23They are our only concern
38:26So you're kind of like a special-interest sect
38:34The book will be exercised it will remain sealed in this chamber forever
38:38I'm afraid the same must be done to you as well. Oh
38:43I don't think so
38:52Oh

40:31Roberto the book of love isn't gonna magically make you into some great lover. No, but I already am
40:36I mean the book is just for finer points to hone my skill and
40:44It's tough living up to your reputation, isn't it?
40:47It's a joke, isn't it? No makes you more human and even sexier I
40:57Don't believe you
40:59The mind and the heart are the body's two most erogenous zones
41:04Any man who doesn't love with those parts of himself can never be a great lover
41:09You believe of that?
