What are you doing?

I feel like you don't believe me.

It's starting to drive me crazy.

It's not fair that you don't believe me.

When have I ever lied to you?

(EXHALES DEEPLY) I believe you.

Obviously, you don't. Or you
wouldn't be acting like this.

- And it's... (INHALES)
- (GLASS CLINKING)

It's f*cked up. We've always
been honest with each other.

So, just... give me a break.

- No, we haven't. (EXHALES)
- We haven't?

I mean, we're not honest about...

About what?

About how we're not
attracted to each other...

- anymore.
- (SIGHS)

Or at least you're not
attracted to me, you know?

It's, like, I get it you're
on top of the world right now.

- You could sleep with...
- (ETHAN SPILLER SIGHS)

... whoever you want,

- and you're stuck with me and...
- Stop saying that stuff!

Yeah, it makes sense that

you'd wanna have sex
with an Italian hooker.

- You're not getting any.
- I didn't have sex

with an Italian hooker. Jesus, f*ck!

I'm just saying that
it's not the cheating

- that bothers me so much...
- There was no cheating!

There was no cheating!

... as what it says about us.

What?

What does it say?

That maybe something has d*ed.

We are too young to be
this old, Ethan. (SCOFFS)

I'm sure you don't want that
part of your life to be over.

Do you?

I don't.

(GULPS)

I'm dealing with a lot, okay?

Work's been insane. And...

Okay.

I don't know. I... I... (SCOFFS)

We can work on it.

We can work on it, okay?

Do even want me?

I love you.

(SIGHS, SCOFFS)

- So depressing.
- "I love you" is depressing?

- (SLURPS, GULPS)
- (GLASS CLINKS)

No. No.

I love you, too.

Are you gonna go running or what?

- (SLURPS)
- I don't know.

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

(WAVES CRASHING)

- You want a coffee?
- DAPHNE SULLIVAN: Yes, please.

(EXHALES)

(MUSIC FADES)

You know, she's pretty convinced
you guys did something bad

- when we were in Noto.
- Ooh, something bad?

- DAPHNE: Mm.
- Like what?

I don't know.

- What'd you do this time?
- I told you. We partied.

- How hard did you party?
- (GROANS) So hard, honey.

- DAPHNE: Yeah?
- So...

- f*cking hard!
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

- Because you left me.
- Oh.

- Yeah. You abandoned me.
- Yeah?

- And now, you must pay.
- (CHUCKLES)

What about you? (CLICKS TONGUE)

- You f*ck anyone in Noto?
- (CHUCKLES)

Any fat Italian guys
with BO and a dirty d*ck?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- So, how was the opera?
- TANYA MCQUOID: Mm.

- She d*ed.
- Who?

- Madame Butterfly.
- Oh.

How was your big night?

It was fun.

Yeah. We almost got arrested.

We didn't pay for our arancini. So,

- yeah.
- Arancinis cost a dollar.

(CHUCKLES) I know.

Maybe you should slow
down with this guy.

Why?

Something about his
relationship with his uncle.

What about it?

- I don't think it's his uncle.
- It is.

- TANYA: Mm-mm.
- Why would you say that?

Oh, it was just a...

It was just a strong hunch.

Okay?

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Portia.

When I see you, I... I see
a younger version of me.

You know, when I was a little girl,

my mother used to dress
me up like a little doll.

And I was always a little doll,

waiting for someone to play with me.

You know, when you're empty inside

and you have no direction,

you'll end up in some
crazy places, right?

But you'll still be lost.

What are you trying to say? Like...

Get your sh*t together, Portia.

- (SCOFFS)
- Buongiorno, ladies.

Pineapple mimosa?

- Mm. Yes.
- TANYA: Oh, sure.

- How did we sleep?
- Not great.

There were some strange
noises in the night.

Oh, no.

Well, we need you refreshed,
you're guest of honor tonight.

Oh.

(TEA POURING)

(MUSIC CONCLUDES)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Today's the big day!

Gonna visit the motherland.

Wouldn't it be cool

if we actually found
some blood relations?

You know, uh, Marty Fiorina,

he did something like
this, but in Puglia.

Found his entire extended family.

They had a big lunch,

they drank wine, they took photos.

Oh. A real homecoming.

- That would be nice.
- ALBIE DI GRASSO: I found us a translator.

Good thinking.

ISABELLA: Sì.

- (CLEARS THROAT)
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Sì.

Buongiorno!

Buongiorno.

- Salvatore? Salvatore!

(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING)

LUCIA GRECO: Hey!

Hey!

- What are you trying to do?
- ETHAN: What do you mean?

Are you trying not to pay us?

- Were you not paid?
- You owe us , Euros.

I'll get it sorted, we have money.

I... I didn't realize you
hadn't been paid, okay?

(MUSIC TURNS EERIE)

- Yes.

(MUSIC FADES)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

(MUSIC FADES)

ETHAN: Hey. (SIGHS)

(SCOFFS)

What?

I just saw you talking to those hookers.

DAPHNE: I'm so hungover.

I think the only thing I can
do today is lay on the beach.

Detox.

- Please stop gaslighting me.
- I'm not gaslighting you.

Look, I can explain,

just can we please not
talk about it right now?

Okay, whatever.

I'm over it. I don't... I
don't care anymore. (SNIFFLES)

(GROANS)

Just looking at all those
sausages made me wanna puke.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

- (YELLS)
- (PORTIA GASPS) Oh!

- (JACK LAUGHS)
- Oh, my God!

- Sorry. (CHUCKLES)
- sh*t!

Scared the widdle baby, did I?

- (LAUGHS BREATHLESSLY)
- Right.

I got the car for the day.
Do you wanna take a drive?

We'll go down to Cefalù,
we'll drink some Peronis,

eat some ice cream. What do you think?

- Sure, yeah! (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah?

I'm down for anything.

I just wanna be back for
the party thing later.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- We'll be back. Don't worry.
- Okay.

Uh, go grab all your sh*t,

(CROWS CAWING)

JACK: Is that... (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- (CAR DOORS CLOSE)
- (ENGINE STARTS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(MUSIC CONCLUDES)

Wouldn't it be incredible

if we actually found
some distant relatives?

DOMINIC DI GRASSO: Would be amazing.

Just try not to fall before
we get you in the car, Dad.

- Oh. Thanks a lot, Dom!
- Hey, guys.

This is Lucia. She's
going to translate for us.

This is my dad, Dominic,
and my grandfather, Bert.

My pleasure. Good morning!

- Hi.
- LUCIA: Hi.

- I've seen you around.
- Ah, yes! I am always around.

- I love this hotel, so...
- HOTEL BELLBOY: Hey, Lucia?

Oh! Just... just one second.

Sorry, Albie, I thought you meant, um,

someone who worked here in the hotel.

Is there a problem?

Oh, I... I don't know
if this is a good idea.

Dad, she's coming, okay? So, be polite.

You're overreacting.

- Giving yourself away.
- What? Giving what away?

That you slept with her.

Stop it, please. I
don't want her to come.

What's wrong with you?

- Can't you just be cool?
- (SIGHS)

Get it together.

("TIPITIPITI" BY ORIETTA BERTI PLAYING)

Okay, guys. What... (CLAPS)
Uh, let's... let's do this.

BERT DI GRASSO: You seem to
know a lot of the staff here.

Uh. Yes. Uh, he is the
brother of a friend of mine.

- BERT: Ah!
- LUCIA: Thank you.

So, tell us about yourself,
my dear. Where are you from?

I'm from Catania.

Ah. How do you speak such good English?

From school. And... from my work.

Oh, what do you?

Hospitality.

High unemployment rate in
Sicily, I hear, so it's...

it's great that you're employed!

Thank you, yes. I'm lucky.

(MUSIC FADES)

I really wanna get a
massage before we go home.

Do you wanna get massages today?

Yeah, sure.

'Kay, I'm gonna call and see
if they have any availability.

STAFF MEMBER: Want me
to get you another towel?

Dude!

DAPHNE: Can we sit here?

- You are f*cking me up here!
- What? How?

Harper is, like, percent
convinced I cheated on her.

- (CHUCKLES) But you didn't, man.
- I know that!

But, could you at least, like, I dunno,

vouch for me or something?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

DAPHNE: Hi! I was wondering,

do you have room for
two for a massage today?

Oh. Okay.

- Yeah. Daphne Sullivan.
- (BIRDS CHIRPING)

DAPHNE: .

- Thanks.
- (MUSIC FADES)

Okay. (SIGHS)

I got the last massage,
but it's, like, right now.

- Are you sure you don't want it?
- No, you take it.

You're the one going home
to a house full of kids.

DAPHNE: Um. Okay, I'm gonna go,

'cause I wanna use the steam room.

CAMERON SULLIVAN: Yeah. Yeah, totally.

DAPHNE: So... but I'll
see you in a few hours?

- CAMERON: Take your time.
- Bye.

E, you wanna go get some drinks, man?

No, I'm good.

- I'll go.
- Yeah?

Yeah. Let's do it.

(WAVES CRASHING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

JACK: Hmm.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Do you have any goals?
- (CHUCKLES)

PORTIA: What? (CHUCKLES)

- Goals?
- Yeah.

- What are some of your goals?
- I don't know.

Be satisfied?

Yeah, that'd be nice.

I think you just gotta
live every day as it comes,

do you know what I mean?

Like, that's what I'd do anyway.

Who knows if we're even
gonna be here tomorrow?

PORTIA: Yeah.

That's very true. The
world's a f*cked-up place.

So... (CHUCKLES)

What's wrong with it?

Are you joking?

Pretty f*cking good world, I'd say.

Literally everything's falling apart.

You'd rather live in the
Middle Ages then, would ya?

When they were ripping
each other to shreds, yeah?

They were way worse than
!sis or any of them lot.

Like, it's a f*cking miracle
anyone's even left in Europe.

All we've been doing is just

f*ckin' hacking each other to bits

and burning each other at the stake.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

JACK: I'm ready for another beer.

All I'm saying is, right,

we're f*cking lucky,
do you know what I mean?

Like, we're living in the...

best time in the history of the world,

on the best f*cking planet.

If you can't be satisfied
living now, here...

you're never gonna be satisfied.

- (CHUCKLES)
- So, let's get pissed, eh?

(CHUCKLES)

- Come on.
- My... (CHUCKLES)

- JACK: I'll grab that.
- Wait! Wait! (CHUCKLES)

- (SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(WAVES CRASHING)

(MUSIC FADES)

- (DOG PANTS)
- (BIRDS CHIRPING)

Not much to it.

- Hmm.
- No wonder they all left.

Who would I have been if I lived here?

You wouldn't have lived
here, you would've left.

There are people who stay and
there are people who leave.

- And I'm someone who leaves?
- Hmm,

'cause you got wanderlust.
You get that from me.

ALBIE: All righty.

Okay. All right, um, you're
not gonna believe this.

We just talked to
that woman and she said

that there is a Di Grasso
family still living here

and she knows them.

- You're kidding!
- Amazing!

They live a mile down the road,
and she gave us the address.

- Let's go! (CHUCKLES)
- Oh! (LAUGHS)

- What's wrong?
- LUCIA: Alessio.

- He followed us here?
- Albie, come on.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

- (CAR DOORS CLOSE)
- LUCIA: Could you please drive?

- Please?
- Something wrong?

Dad, start the car. Let's go.

(ENGINE STARTS)

DOMINIC: What?

Can you tell me what's going on, please?

- There's some guys following us.
- DOMINIC: Who?

Just some guys Lucia knows.

- What should I do?
- (BREATHES SHAKILY)

Just pull over. Stop!

I'll talk to him.

(MUSIC FADES)

(BOTH ARGUING IN ITALIAN)

(IN ENGLISH) What should
we do? What do we do here?

Dad, I don't know.

(CONTINUE ARGUING IN ITALIAN)

- (IN ENGLISH) Hey.
- DOMINIC: What's going on here?

LUCIA: No.

I'm going with him.

No, we're not gonna let that
happen. We can handle him.

No, you can't.

Do you want us to call the police?

The police? No! No, no, no, no.

Listen, guys. I'm fine.

He's upset, I just
have to talk with him.

We can't let you go with him. No.

Yeah, but we're also not
gonna escalate things further.

Please! Don't let this spoil your day.

Have your reunion and...

see you tonight. Okay? I'm fine.

- You're sure?
- Yes.

ALBIE: Okay.

- All right.
- LUCIA: I will call you.

- Okay.
- LUCIA: I'm fine.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOMINIC SIGHS)

What happened?

You're gonna just let her get abducted?

That's what she wanted, Dad.

Oh, no. (GROANS)

- (ENGINE STARTS)
- Don't go with him!

- (MUSIC FADES)
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

GUEST: No, that was yesterday!

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

Hello?

- HARPER: Hold on, just one second.
- Hello?

What the f*ck?

Jesus!

So impatient!

ETHAN: Why did you latch the door?

I didn't know I did.

- What? You obviously did.
- (DOOR CLOSES)

Habit, I guess?

Since when is latching
the door your habit?

I had a tequila sh*t at the
bar, I wasn't really thinking.

You had a tequila sh*t, and then
you had to come up to get a hat?

Yeah, I felt like I was getting b*rned.

Let's go back down.

Why is this door open?

Is it? I don't know.

- I have no idea.
- Was Cameron in here?

- No.
- Where is he?

Uh. Pr... probably in his room.

He said had to get something, too. Why?

So, you came up here together?

Yeah? So? (CHUCKLES) What is your deal?

- This door should be locked.
- Then lock it.

(DOOR LOCKS)

We came all this way.
Might as well go in.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Hello, uh, we don't, uh, speak...

Non parlo Italiano. But, uh, my name...

is Dominic Di Grasso.

Di Grasso.

DOMINIC: You are Di Grasso, sì?

Sì.

My mother was from Testa dell'Acqua.

From here.

She left to go to America.

DOMINIC: Sì. Now, uh, we've come back

to find where we're from.

Um, we think that, uh, we are related.

I didn't mean to say he's,
like, my best friend or anything.

HARPER: I just want you
to admit it, that's all.

Yeah. I'd... he can be
a fun time. That's all.

That's all I meant.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(MUSIC FADES)

You wanna try this?
It's actually kinda good.

Why are you in a good mood?

What?

Now, all of a sudden,
you're in a good mood? Why?

Because we're in Sicily,
and it's beautiful!

(ETHAN INHALES SHARPLY)

And because...

at the bar, Cameron confirmed
everything that you said.

- He did?
- Yeah. Basically.

DAPHNE: Hi!

to know that my masseur

Kinda looked like Timothée Chalamet.

- But he had muscles.

- What?

- Timothée Sham-a-lay?

I mean literally the sexiest
heterosexual in Palermo.

- Oh. Who is this person?
- Niccolò. Gorgeous.

Notoriously well-hung. Not that

- I've seen it firsthand...
- (CHUCKLES)

... he said, crestfallen.
But believe me, I've tried.

- (LAUGHS)
- (QUENTIN CHUCKLES)

Well, what does he do for a living?

Oh, this and that.

Niccolò may or may not have ties

to a very influential local family.

Oh, he joined the mafia?

Did I say that? I didn't say that.

We don't use that word in Palermo.

I know Niccolò because
he supplies all my parties

with the best party favors.

Yeah, but, I'm not gonna be his type.

Yeah.

Of course. I said, uh, you know,

you had done nothing wrong
and you've been a good boy.

Stop flirting with my
wife. I'm not a fool.

(CHUCKLES) All right.

D... Dude, are you being serious?

Were you in our room?

- ETHAN: Today.

Were you? In our room?

- No. Of course not.
- (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

I know you got naked in front of her.

- (CAMERON SCOFFS) What?
- On the first day...

are you talking about?
