In the actual Ferrari house, there's one room, Menzo's study, which has not been touched since he died in 88.

Myself, Adam and Piero, were in there.

We're just, you know, looking at a couple of objects here and there.

And I asked, what's that?

It was a briefcase with the EF on it.

He said, that's my father's briefcase.

I said, what's inside?

He said, I never looked.

Okay. I said, what's on side? He said, I never looked. Hello, and welcome back to the Directors Cut, brought to you by the Directors Guild of America.
