02x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

On with it.

Care to tell me what you're hiding?

- Agata. Don't be upset. I...
- It's true.

We have a confession to make, Agata.

But I have to be the one to tell you.

Earlier when I told you how happy I was

to be separated from my Ester,

it's not true.

Are you lying to me?

No, Mama. He's finally being honest.

Uh...

Oh, come on, Salvo.

I'm sorry, but... but...

Move over a little, huh?

Salvo, how come you were saying
those terrible things on the phone?

To protect myself.

I'm so happy you admitted it.

Don't you feel better already?

- Huh?
- Yes.

Please help me with this agony, Agata.
It's painful.

But this pain is nothing compared to
the immeasurable pain you'd feel if you...

if you lost your mama...

...because of an illness, an accident,

one measly b*llet through the head...

Salvo, uh... is there anything
specific I can do?

Let me confess that there are
many nights I think of suicide.

- No.
- That was a total lie.

His eyelids are dipping way too low

and his lip flaps aren't arching enough

Uh, sure, my love.

In fact, Salvo here was just kidding.

You were kidding that time, right, Salvo?

Sure thing. I can't believe
you really believed me.

Salvo, it would be better for you
to confess all this stuff to Esther.

It's true, and I'm sure one day
I'll find the right words to say to her.

You can't tell her anything
right now, yeah?

No, you need to do it,
but please, soon, Salvo,

because can't you see
that honesty is the prerequisite

for two people to be in love and happy?

Otherwise, there's nothing.

- Right, Vale?
- Yes, yes.

- Yeah.
- Excuse me.

I've got to go get some air, okay?

Huh?

As for you, sit tight here.

You'd really benefit from a nice cup
of calming herbal tea, huh?

I also haven't eaten in ages.

You wouldn't happen to have anything
to, you know... to eat?

It's been a day.

Sure thing. We'll go get it.

Come, my love. Wanna help Mama?

Yeah?

Mama, you're a policewoman.

How are you not seeing
that he's lying through his teeth?

My love, these are grown-up matters,
and, uh... you can't understand them yet.

Vale, back away from there!

Don't come any closer or I'll jump, okay?

No. I'm coming over slowly,
so don't do it.

Ay!

Have you lost it?

I'd rather be dead than a liar, Salvo.

And you should tell Agata that if I
could go back, I'd do it differently.

Man, but you are back, right now.

Not after I'm off this ledge.

No, please wait.
Stay calm, I'm coming to you.

This is what best friends are for.

I'm gonna save you.

I care when you're sad.

Oh, just wait till I get down there.
Then I won't be sad anymore.

Hey, what about me?
I'll be sad without you.

So what? You're still young, Salvo.

You can find another best friend

or start a brand-new life, right?

Uh, yes, but I did
the most beautiful things of my life

with you by my side.

That's what friends are for,
Valentino, to change our lives, huh?

Do not leave me.
It's okay to ask for help, my friend.

- No, stop it!
- Okay, okay, okay. I'll stop.

Salvo, don't do it! No!

FRAMED!

Salvo, don't do it! No!

I've been through things like this,
and it gets better!

No, I'm gonna jump now!

No! No!

Trust me. There's a solution, Salvo.
There always is.

- No, you don't know me.
- No.

Salvo, you know Valentino and I

also had to go through things
that were very difficult,

but I'm glad
now everything is okay 'cause...

because we have no more secrets.

Nope!

You and Valentino might've made up,
but Ester and I are different.

But that doesn't mean
there isn't a solution out there

to fix things between you two.

Please just get down from there,

and trust me, Salvo.

Nope. I'm only going inside if he does.

What are you doing,
sitting there like a useless kid?

- What's up with you?
- Ah, well I was going to...

You need to help her.

You see the state I'm in,
so don't just sit around!

- Oh!
- Careful. Careful, Salvo. Careful.

Slow, Salvo.

Slow, Salvo. Slow.

Yeah.

Careful.

Please, Salvo, careful.

There. Easy, easy.

Are you better?

Thank you.

Keep an eye on him.

- Salvo needs it.
- Yeah. I can do that.

- Did I miss something?
- It's nothing, my love.

I need you to help me in the kitchen.

Come on. Come.

Brother, are you okay?
I need to know.

I need to know
that you're gonna be able to help me do

what the Holy Father asked us to do!

- I mean it!
- Okay.

Can you look me in the eyes
and say you mean it?

- I mean it!
- Ugh!

- It's time to eat.
- Yeah.

And speed it up. I'm famished.

Thanks a lot.

- Stay close to Salvo.
- Hm.

Look at the fragile state
he's in at the moment.

No need to worry. It's all right.

I can't see him doing
something like that again.

It's not like him. He's okay.

Well, I'm just saying,
keep an eye on him for me.

You got it.

You know, I think
you got along super well with Robertino.

Eh, if you say so.

You'll spend more time with him.

And so will your mother,
who I'm sure will also love him.

Oh, see, uh, Agata,

to be honest, I can't tell her right now.

But as soon as I can, I'll tell my mama
I'm going to move in here with you.

Don't you worry about that one bit.

I get it, but don't feel like you have
to do something you don't want to.

Agata, what are you talking about?
If I remember right,

I was the one
who wanted to move in with you.

No, of course,
but your decision might be different.

Sure. I'm not saying that, though.

- You have time still.
- Robertino has knocked out completely.

Almost all the way through
the third episode of The Body Language

and he knocked out.

- Truly, he's a smart kid. Congratulations.
- He is.

Thank you.

- And plus, he's a natural detective.
- Yeah.

- My, it's amazing!
- Yes.

I bet that he could help you out
with your interrogations.

Ah, my job would go so much faster.

I mean, take, for instance,
the suspects you might have

in the m*rder of those two men
from earlier today, huh?

Since I'm sure there's a few of them,

I can't even imagine how hard they are
to figure out by the police.

They definitely have to know
who the main suspects are.

There's no need to talk about them.
We've agreed not to talk about work.

Let's change the subject.

No, I'm saying, get a line-up of photos.

You just show them to Robertino,
and he'll know the k*ller instantly

since he's so sharp.

- You're not getting it.
- Me?

- I'm not gonna discuss this. Don't argue.
- Yes.

The case of Gambino, though.

So many things seem to happen
around that case, don't they?

First Gambino, now two others.

Such a relief
that we're not involved, huh?

Certainly not, no.

Sure, for me, this case has
many secrets lying beneath it.

But we're gonna have a meeting
tomorrow to assess the situation.

- Ah, okay. Get it? Tomorrow.
- Hm.

I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

I'm so fed up because I'm supposed
to take Robertino to the pediatrician,

and I'm stuck on how.

Excuse me, but didn't you say
he has a babysitter?

I thought so. But she reached out to me
and said her car isn't working,

so she has to take it to a mechanic.

Ah, don't worry. It's no problem.

I'll pass by on our route, get Robertino,
and take him to your office.

- Yeah? Right, Salvo?
- Sure. Sure.

We're around anyways.
No problem, Agata.

We'll take care of it.

I would really appreciate you
for that, Salvo.

I said, uh, that we would do it for you.
Both of us.

We'll both come here, get Robertino,
and we'll take him to your office, huh?

Thank you, Salvo.

Cheers to us. Yeah?

To the suspects.

I never imagined Agata
would take the news so badly.

Come on. Are you serious, brother?

Like, you basically told her you need
your mama's permission to move in,

and you can't hear yourself?

- Hey, I thought it was a good idea, okay?
- Oh boy.

You should pack up all your sh*t
and move in with her first thing tomorrow,

'cause isn't that what you promised her?
Don't forget to spy on her too.

I can't do that.
I don't have it in me, you know?

This sure is weird, though.

Right now, Mama would usually
be sitting in her armchair

just waiting for me to come home.

Maybe it's better she's not here for this.

Anyway, so where am I sleeping?

- Well, goodnight.
- Good night.

- Salvo?
- Yeah?

Are you sure this is where you wanna be?

Yes.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

- Salvo?
- Yeah?

- Will things with Agata get resolved?
- Yes.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Salvo?
- I said goodnight, brother.

- Good night.
- Yeah, jeez. Three times.

I'll never get tired
of hearing you talking, little pie.

I love you too, little pie.

But

I have to confess you something.

Today, I lied to you.

Once,

I did betrayed you with Alfonso.

But it wasn't love.

I was just confused.

Even if he was very handsome,

you are the only one I love.

Damned Alfonso.

So he was the mysterious "big pie."

Everyone can make a mistake.

The important thing
is that we are here now.

Please, inspector, no! What the...

No.

Salvo,

let me tell you a secret.

You'll live and die alone!

Alone!

Alone!

Aren't you always saying you're enjoying
living life alone?

Alone!

Alone!

Alone!

Mamma mia, what a nightmare!

In a minute!

What's up, man?
So I hear you need my help.

You just need to make that bitchy ex-wife
of yours pay for what she did.

Have you seen yourself lately?
It's absurd.

We'll deal with it right now. Let's go.

Oh, hey, Salvo.

For real, it's good to see you.

Namaste.

You smoking?

Salvo!

My friend,
it's been far too long.

What are you doing?
You know we're all over there.

And you should come and join us.

Come!

Oh! Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t.
These shoes, man.

Hi, Salvo.

You're lucky to have
all of us keep you company.

You can't be in here!

I can be wherever. It's my home.

- You're cleaning now?
- Yeah.

I folded the laundry.

I cleaned all the bathrooms,

wiped the windows,
and now I'm vacuuming all the dirt up.

And since his majesty
has slept the day away,

perhaps he could do his part
and fluff the pillows and blankets.

Then he confessed he's been suffering
with this as much as you.

I've been waiting.

I'm also letting you know
that he fears being alone in his home,

because it makes him think about suicide.

My god, this is incredible!

And of course, I've made mistake myself.

But I've come a long way,
like Megan did for Jackson.

And just like her,
I know that compared to our love,

our problems are as tiny and insignificant
as they can be.

So, since you seem
to have it all figured out,

all you have to do is see him.

How about I arrange the meeting? Huh?

He's probably going to mistreat me again
like he did on the phone.

Exactly.

It's easy to use the phone
to hide your honest sentiment.

I'm telling you, as soon as he sees you,
it will be completely different.

Go to the appointment with the excuse
of talking about your separation.

And he'll crack with you
how he cracked with me.

- And if it doesn't work out?
- It will work.

You should bring something
that reminds him of the love you have.

An object or even a song.

Do you have a song?

Or you could bring
the gifts Salvo bought for you.

- Three.
- Three what?

Three is the number of gifts
he's given me since we met.

Maybe now's not the time to get critical.

Very well, I get it.

Okay, I gotta go.

Sure. I have to run too.

Bet you're happy you don't
have these problems with Valentino.

Uh...

Aren't you?

Well, he's the one who wanted
to move in together, you know?

- Sure.
- I'm not sure if it's true.

Lately his phone's been off
and he's rejecting my calls.

Perhaps he got spooked by Robertino.

Or he's not in love like he used to be.

It makes no sense.

My brother's always been in love with you.

Listen, you just gotta
be a little tough with him.

Fear will make him understand real fast.

You know I don't use
strategies like that. No.

Uh, but you're asking me to use them?

But it's different.
My problems are different.

Sure, they are.

- Now, let's go.
- Oh my God.

Thank you, Mister Giuseppe!
How generous.

This way! This way! This way!

You're good. You're good. You're good.
You're good. Good. Hey, hey. Up, up, up!

Mister!

Mister, are you staying lo...

I told you I don't know
about the Holy Father!

Once again, our beautiful Sicily

gives us the overwhelming sweetness
of a dazzling smile,

but behind it, a huge and painful cavity.

On top of the two new murders
that were from yesterday,

another three victims
were identified earlier today.

Could these killings possibly be related?

Somebody seems to think so.

Holy Father, I have some bad news for you.

Another group trapped and k*lled
Whistle, Trash Can, and High Chair.

- The Mexicans?
- Yeah.

Could these men possibly
be connected to Gambino's murders?

Check how much time we have.

As it stands now,
we're ready and waiting for a development.

For now, there's much more
for your Sergione to do.

On to the studio.

We're standing
in front of the police station

where, finally, I have just unearthed
for you a revelation,

and quite easily compared
to, uh, some others.

Your long wait is over.
Let's take a little step back

and talk about the k*lling of the men
over at Gambino's.

- They were close friends of yours, right?
- Sure! Yeah.

Sure. We would hang out
all the time together,

whenever we were given
the chance to, obviously.

Since their wives
would always be snooping,

I'll often frequent dating sites,
and that's actually where I met them.

They would often take part
in group, uh... activities.

And so it looks like they weren't

as faithful to their wives
as we once thought.

So the big question now is,
could the murders happening in this city

be part of a convoluted love scheme
made of deception,

stolen kisses, and orgies?

Viewers, your Bellomo must leave you.

Back to the studio.

- Okay. Good.
- Oh.

I meant to ask if my acting
came across as fake to you.

- No, no, trust me.
- You sure?

- It was fine. Good job.
- So genius!

This spits in the face of journalism.

Don't you feel anything?

So you use fake actors beating innocent
people when they're dead on the ground?

- Aren't you ashamed?
- And what about your reporting?

Listen, this has always been my spot.
You can't come and take what's mine.

Did you show up
when those poor kittens died in the city?

- Did you? You didn't!
- Okay. Bye-bye.

- You should be ashamed of yourself!
- Go find your own story!

I'll cover this better
than you ever could!

Classic Mafia w*r sh*t.

Or they were all k*lled
by the Holy Father.

I'm just saying, I think that it was him.

No, the first two were just idiots.

They couldn't resist the broken seal
and encountered the k*ller.

Then paid for it.

Please excuse me, everyone.

Someone sent us
new video footage of the street

in front of Gambino's banks,
jewelry stores, offices...

One of these cameras...

captured a man dressed all in black
and carrying a big bag.

But as you can see,
he seems to be very watchful, paranoid,

and he's careful to never show his face.

And in addition, we got ballistics today.

Come and look.

It came back saying
the g*n used is ill*gal.

And forensics couldn't find

any shell casings or fingerprints
in that home, nor footprints.

Gentlemen,

it seems that we might be dealing
with a professional

who knows exactly what he's doing.

Well then,

nothing is any clearer.

The only sure thing at the moment is

we can take off anyone
who entered Gambino's house that day.

They're not suspects.

MAIN SUSPECTS

You really shouldn't
be taking them off there.

Don't forget
they have an alibi for that day.

- You wanna keep wasting our resources?
- All right.

Let's all take a break.
I'll see you here in half an hour.

Thank you.

You know we're doing
something totally stupid, right?

Don't worry about it.

Rather, prepare to pay attention
to the tiniest details in there.

Particularly ones about the suspects.

Pardon us.

- Ah, hey, why is no one here, huh?
- You're right.

Huh. Well, I don't know.

They left their pens
and their case files out.

I bet the meeting's not over,

so they must be taking a break.

- Hm. Probably.
- Probably. That must be the case.

Hey, these two have
to be the m*rder suspects.

So how come
I didn't realize it was them before?

- I'm not so sure, Salvo.
- I don't think so, Salvo.

In The Body Language,
there's not been one assassin

who looks anything like those two.

- Hm.
- We have to debrief and find a new lead.

My boy, Inspector Jackson prioritizes
those who are above suspicion, yeah?

- There you are.
- Ah.

Oh, my love, here you are. Ciao.

Thanks again for this, Salvo.

- Oh, don't mention it.
- Salvo? I brought him with me.

- You know, we both picked up Robertino.
- Ah, Salvo.

Before I forget it,
Ester wanted me to tell you something.

She wants to meet you today at
the Cupid Bar around two this afternoon.

Mm, but it's just legal matters
or something like that.

- No, I'll have to see if I can...
- It's obvious you can't wait to see her.

All right, that's enough. Let's go, huh?

Come.

Aren't you guys coming with us?

- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Yeah, sure thing.

Can we zero in on a location
for those two suspects?

This is the kind of job that would be
just perfect for Primo Sale.

But... Ah!

Unfortunately, he's still stuck in jail.

It's much better.

But you have to pay
attention to your diabetes.

- Like by taking your pills.
- Sure, I'm taking them.

- Now, if you would, please leave.
- I'm leaving.

And would you please at least stick
to the diet that I prescribed to you?

- I told you, get out!
- I must go.

- I'm in a table tennis tournament.
- Of course you are.

Please leave the pill issue to me.

I'm real convincing. And I'm proud of it.

- And you know that he's high risk?
- Yeah, it's true. It's true.

I'm very busy,
but let's keep in contact, huh?

Tonino, come here.

We should have a chat
and sus out those two suspects,

'cause I need the help of someone
they're more likely to trust.

So bring them here to me.

Oh, I get it.

I got it.

Uh...

Uh, I'm about to lose it!

This crime will get you
thirty years in jail. You understand?

Get it? Thirty years in jail!

I know it's a lot, but I don't care.
We're doing it.

HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES

Follow me.

Pretend to be confident and at peace.

No!

- Look who it is!
- I'm so happy to see you two!

- Brothers, it's you.
- Hello.

It feels like forever.

And I swear we were just here
by chance, you know?

Why on earth would you swear to that, huh?

You're not a liar.

- Far from it, huh?
- Brothers!

"And may the god of hope fill you
with every joy and every peace," yeah?

Romans 15:13 for you.

Oh man, is it raining?

Help me! Help!

- No, no, no!
- For heaven's sake, just go!

- Come on now!
- Are you okay?

- Ah!
- Go on. Go!

Please, be kind.
Be kind to your fellow man.

Ow! This is not...

- No!
- Help! Help us!

All right. Go on. Get. Get in.

Get! Get!

Help me!

Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive.

LAWYER GIOVANNI CALVARUSO
VIA ROBERTO FORZA 5 - CONFIDENTIAL

LAW FIRM
LAWYER GIOVANNI CALVARUSO

FOR HOLY FATHER

BE RIGHT BACK

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners.

Hola, you useless thing.

We've been looking for you
for quite a long time.

But now it's time for me to have
a friendly little talk with your boss.

Do not doubt my ability
to repay all my debts to the fullest.

I'm just dealing
with an obstacle right now.

I'm giving you just 48 hours
this time to get my money.

Rest assured,
the day after tomorrow by noon

all your money will be delivered to you.

You can deliver it in my hands
by 11:55, get it?

Ah, so you're taking those five minutes.

That's picky.

Tick... tock,

tick... tock,

tick... tock,

tick... tock,

tick... tock.

UNKNOWN NUMBER

- Who's this?
- Holy Father.

It's a pleasure to speak to you.

Under the circumstances,
you and I have become partners.

You have Gambino's computer,
which I need,

and I have the money you need.

We can make a deal.

I'll give you 48 hours.

Not a minute more, nor a minute less.

Shut up.

Brothers, please do not
provoke the hand of God.

- Walk faster.
- Shut up!

You need to tell them to shut up!

- Move it!
- No!

Come on.

Huh?

Go on.

Ah, they grabbed you too?

Ah, sure. I swear.

Man, you need to stop
swearing all the time.

For real now!

I know now that these two here are not
involved in the killings whatsoever.

I don't need them at all.

Convert, my fellow brothers,

because you should know
the kingdom of Heaven is nigh.

That's Matthew 4:17.

You're wrong about that, though.

It's a place that you have to earn first.

I know that. I've already been there.

Ah, no, my fellow.

Once you've been to the kingdom of Heaven,

there's no way to return to the living.

That cannot be the truth.

I can't be losing my mind like that.

How dare you make him doubt himself,
you religious misfits!

Go! Go! Move over there, now!

- Move it!
- Come on, quickly!

It's Ester.

I was supposed to meet her at that bar,
but I ended up blowing her off.

So she probably decided
to come looking for me here.

Go think of a reason to get rid of her.

And pay attention
to what you're saying to her.

And don't forget that Esther
broke your heart and cheated too.

You can't grant her any forgiveness, okay?

No, because I can't bear to have
this moron in my house

if they get back together.

Mrs. Antonietta, please, I'm begging you.
Please be quiet.

Hey. Ciao, Ester.

- Ciao, Salvo.
- Ciao.

Sorry, I don't want to bother you.

No, I'm fine. You're not a bother to me.

Well, I'm only staying for a second.

- Not long enough to turn off my radio.
- Oh.

Oh! Do you remember this song?

Oh, come on. That's "Off-key Songs."

Isn't it a coincidence, huh?

It's nice. I mean it's our song so... Huh.

Mm.

Yeah.

- It's like it's been forever.
- It has.

Do you mind if I...

I, uh... Mm...

I wasn't expecting you,

so it's, uh,
extremely messy in there right now.

Plus, you got here so suddenly,
and I didn't have time to, uh...

There's no need to justify it
since you obviously have company here.

No! My God, no.

There's no way. Of course I don't.

No.

No, it's just that I waited for you
at the bar today

and you didn't show up,
so I said I would come look for you.

Oh, I couldn't go to the bar,
because I was taking care of a problem.

I'll tell you later.

I get it. I get it. Don't worry

- Uh, you needed...
- Nothing.

I just wanted to tell you
that the legal details

are being hashed out by the lawyers.

On the other hand, I wanted to come here

and return all the gifts you gave me
during our time together.

Oh.

Remember?

This is the necklace you gave me
for our anniversary.

This last year.

- Two years ago.
- Oh, yeah.

Then I have the cool lighter
that you gave me.

- It's a replica of Jackson's g*n.
- It's amazing, huh?

It's a beauty, huh?

Finding it was hard.

And finally,

most importantly,
the police badge key ring.

It's the one they gifted
to Inspector Jackson

when he showed up for the first time.

No.

- The Look of the k*ller!
- Yeah!

- Yeah!
- No!

I can't get over it.

It's a shame since there are
very particular details

in The Look of the k*ller
that you could only understand

if you've watched The Touch of the k*ller.
Huh, you know?

I can finally say I've seen it.

No, so you've been watching it too?

Oh, well done! It's marvelous, huh?

- Oh, I devoured it.
- Beautiful! It's wonderful.

Actually, you have to know
how incredibly sorry I am

for putting up such a fuss
when you wanted to watch it.

I just didn't appreciate
all the twists, the turns, the drama.

- Sh. Calm down.
- Come on.

You told me you were alone.

Yeah, I am, in fact, alone.

I have no idea

what that sound was.

I get it.
You're entitled to enjoy your life.

Ciao, Salvo.

It's not that, Esther.

I've had it. I've had it.

Had it! Had it! Had it!

I can't do this anymore!

Seems... Ow!

He's not the only useless thing!

I think you're all
a bunch of useless things, and I mean it!

Padre Santissimo!
Your diabetes! Your diabetes!

The person properly suited for this

is Primo Sale.

I am gutted!

Tonino, I'll tell you what.

Can you do me this one favor?

m*rder all of them right now.

- What? All of us?
- Don't think about it.

- No!
- On your knees.

- But...
- Get on the floor! Same to you.

All of you, pray.

Oh, my boy.

Remember that my eternal love for you
has always been stronger than Agata's.

You must stop! Stop it!

Hey! Every five minutes
we've got g*ns pointed at our heads,

threatening to sh**t out our brains.

No!

I'm not even sure The Touch of the k*ller

abuses this cliché
to such an incredible degree.

In a show, before k*lling someone,

the k*ller will stop to consider
whether there will be consequences.

Though,
not when the show is in Italian, huh?

And, if it was up to you two,
every season would only last one hour.

Netflix might as well cancel you.

Plus, Holy Father,
you simply can't k*ll me yet,

because I am the lunatic
who has an idea

to free Primo Sale from prison for good.

FRAMED!
