Missing the Boat (2026)

Post by bunniefuu »

Hello.

Welcome, honored

guests to your paradise at sea.

Before we embark, there is

a mandatory safety briefing.

Safety first.

I like it.

Please check your boarding pass

to locate your muster station.

Why do you think they call

it a muster station anyway?

It's the only word

they could muster.

Dad is not here.

Shall we leave his

jokes on the mainland?

Couldn't resist.

Please try, at least

for seven days,

because we would like

to enjoy ourselves.

You will enjoy.

Meanwhile, I'll be planning

a huge corporate buyout

hopped up on Dramamine.

Look, it's a big ship.

You shouldn't get seasick.

I get seasick when I

open up a can of tuna fish.

Only you could

complain about seeing

four of the most beautiful

cities on the Mediterranean.

Who wants to go to several

different cities on a boat

when you can stay

in one beautiful city

for the whole time?

About 35 million people

annually and growing.

Another reason why now has never

been a better time to expand

into luxury sea travel.

Have you been reading my pitch?

It's impossible not to.

Your laptop is

everywhere that I look.

Yeah, it's because my boss

is everywhere that I look.

You have no idea what it's

like working for Adam Crandall.

Well, maybe...

I'll never let you go, Jack.

Too tight!

Oh, you're uptight.

We don't complain,

though, right?

You gotta get those

sea legs, bro.

I'll work on that.

I am so glad that

you joined your brother

on this last-minute adventure.

Parker speaks the world of you.

Oh, well he's told

me a lot about you.

And, you know, apparently,

you're quite the boss

to work for.

I'll take that as a compliment.

OK.

So, uh, you're in PR, correct?

Yes, but I'm actually

in between jobs right now.

Well, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Parker says you're

the best in the business.

Did he?

Oh, yeah.

Parker is always bragging about

his talented little sister.

OK, we're going to go, and we're

going to settle into our cabin.

Well, I'm going to go

check out the duty-free shop.

I gotta up my watch

game before I start

schmoozing with the bigwigs.

I'll see you two

later, hopefully.

- Yeah.

- All right.

Ciao.

Ciao.

And, um, don't forget

to tweak the waterfalls

for the new cash flow model.

The investors want to make

sure we hit the milestones.

Yeah, I'm on that, Adam.

I got you.

If this deal closes, we'll

never have to work again.

Well, I... I won't.

You still will.

But I'm sure they'll hire you,

you know, for the handover,

with a much bigger

salary of course.

- OK.

- Later.

Bye.

Emily, so nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

What?

Stop flirting with my boss.

I'm not flirting.

I was being nice.

- Be neutral.

- OK.

Shall we go to the room now?

You go to your room

and take this to mine, please.

I gotta go check the lifeboats.

OK.

You do you.

Hi, George.

Let me guess, you're

calling to tell me

how important this

report is, even

though you know how seriously

I take all of my assignments.

You know me too well.

Well, we've been working

together for 10 years.

I better.

Yes, and you know I trust you.

You've never let me down.

But this time, you

definitely can't let me

down, because this one is big.

Yeah, it all happened so fast.

You kind of have to fill

me in on this one.

We were hired by Staley

and Scholes Venture Capital.

They're looking to acquire

the luxury cruise division

from the Crandall Corporation.

But they need you to find out

if there's any good reasons

for them not to invest.

OK, got it.

I don't want you to go analog on me.

Put the notepad down

and upload your findings

on the app like everyone else.

Well, I can tell you that the

bathrobe needs to be updated.

It's very scratchy.

Again, don't tell me.

Just upload it to the app.

George, you know I do my best

work when I'm unplugged.

I wish we

had the time for you to do

your normal routine,

but they need

your final report before you

reach Dubrovnik on Friday.

Understood.

But I still need to be

incognito, right?

I'm supposed to be on vacation.

And I can't do that

with my nose in a phone.

Kelly,

you know you're my best rep.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

I love it when you treat it

like it's Mission Impossible.

Whatever it

takes to deliver on this one.

I'm counting on you.

- OK.

Attention, guests, please

report to your muster stations.

OK, George, gotta go.

I got to go check

the safety protocols,

and then I'm going to check out

the vibe in the dining room.

Return, report, and upload.

Aye aye, Captain.

Oh!

Uh... are you OK?

Uh, yeah.

What are you doing?

I'm just preparing

for the inevitable "what if."

Is this your first cruise?

No, but hopefully it is my last.

How about you?

Is this your first?

- No.

LA born and raised.

I'm an ocean girl.

Oh, well, what's

your favorite ocean?

And please, be Pacific.

Sorry, my sister accuses me

of having resting dad humor.

It's like whatever wordplay

bounces into my head,

I just blurt it out.

I'm trying to cure myself.

I'm Parker.

Kelly.

Hi, Kelly.

Um, so do you... do

you like to travel?

I do actually.

It's, uh, well,

kind of my passion.

So if you need any travel

tips, you could just ask me.

Yeah, nope.

I'm pretty much going

to stay here on the boat

and just get a lot of work done.

Oh, that's a shame.

You know what's a shame is

these pipes look pretty rusty.

But, you know, the Wi-Fi is

really good on the boat now.

I know.

It's a shame too.

I just like it better when

you're off the grid, you know?

Yeah.

You know what?

See, I love the grid.

I mean, I'll step out

of it a little bit here,

a little bit there,

but I'm a grid man.

Real risk taker, huh?

Well, I love a risk.

I just want the word

"calculated"

right in front of it.

Let me guess, finance guy.

Worse, I'm also a lawyer.

I am in charge of mergers

and acquisitions

for the Crandall

Corporation, which is this.

Wow, that is a big deal.

How does it feel to have

your boss on the cover

of every magazine in the world?

Oh, I would never know.

Yeah, except for that he takes

them all, he cuts them out,

he frames them, and he hangs

them all over the office.

Other than that,

really humble guy.

Huh.

Yeah.

What about you?

What do you do?

Uh, I make it a point of not

talking about work on vacation.

Well, that's funny,

because I make it

a point not to go on vacation.

I think vacations are

for the unfulfilled.

I mean, it's the only excuse I

have for my workaholic nature.

And you, what's your excuse?

Pardon me?

Well, you're dressed so fancy...

all corporate... for someone

who's here to relax.

When in Rome, dress fancy.

Right?

I mean, when we're out to sea,

it'll be a different ball game.

I'm looking forward

to that transformation.

If you ever leave

the Wi-Fi zone.

I won't.

Speaking of which, I

have some waterfalls

that I need to attend to.

- Oh.

Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

Do you mean the Due Rocche

waterfalls in Palermo?

No, no, I mean the boring

spreadsheet kind.

Oh.

Well, have fun with that.

I definitely won't.

- Hey.

- Hi.

I'm Emily.

Oh, Kelly.

Well, welcome

to the singles section.

Apparently, they don't think we

need a view or any single men

to talk to.

- Yeah.

It's a good start.

I see that.

Hmm.

But seriously, have you noticed

there aren't many eligible

bachelors on this cruise?

Uh, I met one.

Yeah.

A bit of an odd duck, but I did.

Oh, actually, he is swimming

over here right now.

Yeah, he's definitely odd.

Cute though, right?

Yeah, I don't see it.

Really?

Really.

Yeah, it might be

because he's my brother.

That might be why.

OK.

Nailed the odd part.

Did somebody say odd?

No.

I mean, yes, we...

we said, what are the "odds-uh."

That's a fun game.

Let's figure it out.

I was an actuary

as an intern for a summer.

So let's just do this thing.

If the cruise ship

is full to capacity,

and we're not

including the staff,

the odds of us being at the same

table would be 2,500 to 1.

That's "actuary"

a very good guess.

Oh, did you hear that?

A woman after my own laugh.

No, please do not encourage him.

OK?

- Sorry.

I'll stop.

I was full on choking

out a grizzly bear

with my bare hands.

I'm not kidding.

- My brother recorded it.

- Is that Adam Crandall?

Yeah.

That's why I am

still clocked in.

You didn't say he was

going to be on board.

No, I didn't.

Because, you know what, I knew

that he would make himself

known sooner rather than later.

Why isn't he

at the singles table?

Yeah, because he's

at that table.

He's entertaining the entire

board of Staley and Scholes.

Right, because they're

looking to buy

out Crandall Cruise Lines.

Of course.

How'd you know that?

Because you said

that you were an M&A

and that Adam was

your boss, and I...

I put two and two together.

- You're smart.

- Yeah.

Just don't add it up

yet, because there's

a lot of hurdles we

gotta leap first,

which is why I've

got my laptop open.

Well, will you just

get it done, please?

I promise I will take

you on another vacation

after this vacation

as soon as I close this.

But until then, I am

clocked in and locked in.

But you promised

me you'd take a break

and we'd do that

walking tour of Palermo.

And you are not

backing out of it.

No, I'm not.

We are going to do that.

- We better do...

- We're doing it.

OK.

Hey, you should come with us.

- Oh, I'd love to.

- Great.

Bellissimo.

Bellissimo.

Salute, huh?

Yes.

Cheers.

Cheers.

We would like

to remind all passengers that

they must return from

their excursions on time, as we

cannot wait for any latecomers.

Any guests that are

left behind must

make their own

travel arrangements

to the next port of call.

We wish you all

a wonderful day in Palermo.

Look at this!

There it is.

Yes.

Wow, look at that.

How's this?

- How's this?

- Perfect.

Is this one good?

OK?

Yeah.

Like a tree.

1, 2, 3.

You know, I got to give

it to you, Parker.

You were actually fun today.

Oh, what are you talking about?

I'm always fun.

No, I mean, like you used

to be on our family vacations.

I think I like vacation

Parker better too.

I am the same guy...

just with the crushing weight

of corporate America on my back

all the time.

Sorry.

Speaking of responsibility,

just excuse me a minute.

Yeah?

- So what are you talking about?

I am fun.

I'm fun.

I just mean, you know,

you're more present lately.

It's nice.

- Present?

Yes.

Present?

Like you were present with

the waiter? Uh

huh, si, si.

Did the walking

tour of Palermo today.

The cruise line was very helpful

with bookings and reservations.

However, some of the attractions

have become tourist traps.

An updated list of vendors

would be very helpful.

Two cannolis later?

They're really good.

And he's also very handsome.

- Yeah, I don't want to hear.

- When in Italy, you have to...

So sorry, guys.

Yeah.

So what happened to no work

talk while on vacation?

You are so right.

I am back to having fun.

Just fun.

What about you guys?

What do you have today?

More work?

Well, the only work I will be

doing is on my tan on the beach.

I want to go

into my work interviews

looking well rested, successful,

and a little bronzed.

I will see you at dinner,

and please don't work too hard.

Yeah, please wear sunscreen,

because no one wants

to hire a lobster for a PR rep!

Got it!

Well, what about you?

Do you have more

work, or do you want

to come see waterfall with me?

I would love

to see the waterfall.

I looked it up.

It looks amazing.

I would love to join you.

You don't have more

obligations with Mr. Crandall?

So, no, he is doing

a godfather tour of Corleon...

Corleon-ee, Corle-oney?

Corleone.

Corleone.

So he said I should

take the day off.

Well, that's an offer

you can't refuse.

I didn't refuse it, which is

why I want to be present and

go see the waterfall.

It was a...

I made a joke.

You know, the line?

What line?

I'll make

him an offer he can't refuse.

What?

From the Godfather.

Yeah... I haven't

seen that movie.

What?

I know.

I know.

It's something I'm

not very proud of.

I haven't gotten around to it.

My sister teases me about it.

I'll watch it.

- You know what?

I'm not going to judge.

Thank you.

I haven't seen Star Wars.

- What?

- Yeah.

What?

Hold on.

What?

OK, you haven't...

OK, no.

I know, we're both

being vulnerable here.

I get that.

It's a safe space.

So do you want to go see

about a waterfall with me?

You want to finish our desserts

First?

Eh, leave the cake.

Take the cannoli.

Again, from the

God... never mind.

I don't know

if this is such a good idea.

I'm starting to get

worried about time.

That's why we're

doing the horseback

auction instead of hiking.

We're going to be back

with over an hour to spare.

We are good.

Ah, and there are our stallions.

Though they look a little

more like ponies.

Yeah!

No, those are donkeys.

- What?

- Yeah.

How do you know?

Well, because I did my fifth

grade science fair project

on equine animals, and these

are definitely the species

equus asinus.

Bravo, asino.

He knows his things.

So these are your donkeys,

and these are your hats.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Yes.

Um, the... the pamphlet

said horseback.

Well, you were

the last one to book.

So the first group

got all the horses,

and this is what we have left.

Please.

- OK.

I mean, it'll be fine, right?

- Yeah.

- It's fine.

- No.

You know what,

the donkey is actually

smarter, safer than the horse.

Give me the phone.

That's according to my World

Book Encyclopedia knowledge.

Easy, boy.

I hope your work

was peer reviewed.

You swing your leg around.

Hey, yes.

Swing your leg.

- You got it.

- OK.

Careful the hat.

Like this.

Nice.

Signore, where's your donkey?

What do you mean?

Aren't you our guide?

With donkeys, you

don't need a guide.

You need this.

And they will follow.

I'm sorry, are we

in a Looney Tunes episode.

Don't worry, they know the way.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hey, buddy.

Yeah.

Yee-haw!

Come on!

Enjoy!

Hey, don't lose the hat.

I don't know about this.

I think I'm getting

the hang of this.

And you know what, now

that I see the terrain,

I am very glad we

got the safer option.

Yeah, it's true.

Horses, they're flight animals,

preferring to flee from danger,

where donkeys,

they've evolved to be

a little bit more cautious.

And more food

motivated, obviously.

Honestly, I don't think a horse

would care at all about us.

I'd laugh, but I'm still a

little concerned about the fact

that we don't have

the handler with us.

I mean, you mounted

your seat like a pro,

but you saw how

much help I needed.

Well, you know what, you

got nothing to worry about.

I did a dude ranch

for a bachelor weekend once.

And I was awarded the best

cowhand, I might add.

So you're good.

I know my way around a corral.

That's impressive.

Ooh, you hear that?

We're almost there.

Whoa.

Parker, are you seeing this?

Did you see it?

Look!

Wow.

It's beautiful.

Come on.

Stop.

Wow.

Wow!

Um, I'm going to need

you to help me get out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, my lady.

Thank you.

OK.

Ready?

You got your leg around?

Boom, there you go.

Come here.

Ooh, that's a girl.

Parker, you gotta see this!

I'm coming!

I'm coming!

This is incredible!

Come here.

Come here, come here, come here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, all right.

Ready?

Smile.

Woo!

Now, this is an excursion.

And I didn't think you

liked to be off the grid.

Ah, you know, this,

it's grid adjacent.

Still pretty wild of you.

When I first met

you, I never thought

you'd get off the lido deck.

Well, you can blame my sister.

Nothing like a little

sibling rivalry to motivate.

Yeah, but look at me having

all sorts of spontaneous fun.

I got a gorgeous waterfall.

I'm standing next

to a beautiful woman

while our trusty

steeds await our...

return.

Come back!

Donkey!

Donkey!

Donkeys!

My hat!

Leave it!

No, he's going

to charge us for it he said.

How are donkeys so fast now?

They're getting away!

Less talking!

More running!

Oh, my back.

My back.

They're totally gone.

Oh!

How did they get loose?

I must have tied them up wrong.

What, I thought

you won best cowhand?

I was terrible at tying knots.

What do we do?

We gotta run.

Please

note, we will be departing

from port in one hour.

So ensure you, your belongings,

and your entire party

are safely on board.

Hey, Emily.

Hey!

You hit the beach yet?

I did.

Got the perfect

amount of sunburn

and my trashy Gothic romance

novel is almost reading itself.

So.

Hey, how was the Godfather tour?

It was awesome.

I basically acted out

the whole entire film.

You know, I can't

believe your brother

still hasn't seen it yet.

I think we might need

to rough him up for that.

Oh, no, no, no.

Never take sides

against the family.

Who are you?

Where is your brother, anyway?

Is he locked up

in his room someplace?

He's actually out

with a really cute

girl from the singles table.

- Parker?

Yeah.

Well, they should

be back any minute.

He said he wants to play it safe

since the boat waits for no man.

I'm just glad he's

putting himself out there.

It's about time, right?

I'd say.

Hey, I'm actually

going to shuffle

on up to the shuffleboard.

What do you think

about maybe joining me?

Well, I mean, I was going

to wait for those guys.

But I could play while I wait.

He's a big boy.

I think he'll be fine.

We're not going to be fine.

The boat's going

to leave in an hour.

We're never going to make it.

- Not with that attitude.

OK, we got to stay positive,

and they're going to fix it.

Listen, the navigation

says even if we do,

it's an hour and 16

minutes away.

So we'll tell him

to step on it, OK?

Italian drivers are very fast.

OK, listen, even if he

does get it started...

Yeah!

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

This is not OK!

Oh, we must be

at the wrong dock.

No, we're not.

Look.

Oh, that is so our boat.

Ah, why didn't they wait for us?

Because they don't

wait for anybody.

It's their policy!

I have to be on that ship.

My career depends on it.

- Mine too.

I thought you were on vacation.

Yes, I am.

I am.

If I don't relax

when I'm on vacation,

I'm going to be very stressed

when I get back to work.

Yeah, well,

my laptop and my career

are literally sailing

away on that ship.

Everything depends on me

being on that boat.

Why are we lying down?

Why are we lying down?

Because I tweaked

my back on the run.

Oh, my gosh.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

No, it happens.

I just... I need to stretch

it out a little.

You know what, I

don't think we really

have time to stretch it out.

I think we have to go

get the port agent and

see what's... if he can help us.

OK?

OK.

Oh, we got this.

All right, let's go.

Hello.

Hello.

You must be Kelly Coates

and Parker Andrews.

Unfortunately, yes.

Yeah, you missed the ship.

Yeah.

No, we're aware of that.

We warned you.

The ship, it waits for no man.

And it waits for no woman also.

Understood.

Yeah, thank you

for making that point.

However, here we are.

Still need to make it

to the next port in Syracuse.

You really should've

taken a ship.

You know, we wanted

to take the ship,

but we missed the ship.

Are there any other

options maybe?

Can we maybe take a plane?

The nearest airport

to Syracuse is Catania.

But you won't catch

a flight at this hour.

Right.

You could try in the morning,

but all the flights,

they connect to Rome.

OK.

How about a train?

Is there a night

train we could take?

I would suggest

that you hire a car

and you drive through the night.

- Yes!

- Great idea.

Yes.

I have just the thing for you.

Ooh.

My twin brother, Vincenzo, he

has a lovely company in town.

He will fix you up.

I will tell him

that you are coming.

But you need to hurry, huh,

because it's tourist season.

He may not have

many cars available.

He's a little bit stubborn, huh.

So you need to...

Grazie mille.

Yeah, grazie.

Americano.

I am very sorry

to disappoint you,

but we have no

more car available.

What do you mean?

Hold on a second.

We've been waiting

in line for 45 minutes!

Why didn't you tell us that?

It's written here.

In Italian.

We don't speak Italian.

But we're in Italy.

You should study.

OK.

The other people

in line, what about them?

They all have a reservation.

So if you'll kindly step

aside for the next customer.

Pronto.

- I got to get back on the boat.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

OK.

You are in luck.

I have just received

a cancellation,

so there is one car available.

Great.

If you'll kindly

give me your credit

card and driver's license,

I will hold it for you.

Here's a card.

I don't have

my driver's license.

What?

Why?

I brought my passport.

I don't have two forms

of identification.

I'm not opening a bank account.

- You know what, it's fine.

It's fine.

We'll just... we're

going to use mine.

It's in here somewhere.

I will need it

to hold the reservation.

I am aware.

It's right here.

I know it's right...

It's right here.

I can help you

if you let me help you.

No, I got it.

Here.

You know what...

thanks, got it.

Thank you.

Hold on, hold on.

Uno momento.

Hah!

Boom!

I'm very sorry, but in the time

it took you to find

your license,

there was an online booking

for this automobile.

- Come one!

- My apologies.

I do not control the bookings.

Perhaps you should

try the night train.

The what?

Your brother said that

there was no night train...

that we should rent a car.

Of course, because Vito

is a good brother,

and I give him 10%

for the referrals.

That is a little

upsetting, because we

clearly needed to rent a car.

No time to argue.

Your train, it leaves

in less than 20 minutes.

Not nice!

Not nice!

Ah!

Running is k*lling my back!

- OK!

Train station should be right

up around this corner, OK?

Do not stop to get tickets!

Just... just get

right on the train.

We gotta buy tickets!

They're going to kick us off!

You can get them

on the train, OK?

Just trust me.

- I trust you.

- OK.

I trust you.

We cannot miss this!

Frank, I want to hear

the rest of that story.

That is a good one.

All right.

Hello, hello, hello there.

Do you mind if I borrow this

young lady for a second?

Yeah.

Good to see you guys.

Hey, have you heard anything?

Last I heard, they're

in line for a rental car,

and then they just straight

up stopped answering.

So I hope he's OK.

Well, me too.

He usually spends most

of his time in a spreadsheet.

This wasn't exactly

his, uh, strong suit.

I'm just glad he's

got Kelly with him.

I mean, she's going

to look after him.

I mean, if they're back

to Syracuse by noon tomorrow,

they should be fine, right?

Yeah.

He's probably panicking without

his laptop attached to his lap.

I need that dude's nose

in that laptop more than anyone.

Come on, that's four days away.

He's definitely going

to be back by then.

He's got his health,

his passport,

and he's with a beautiful,

intelligent woman.

I think this is good for him.

That's one way to look at it.

I see the door!

We're almost there.

Are you with me?

I'm with you.

I got you.

Are you OK.

We're good!

Oh, my!

OK.

OK.

Track two.

Track two!

Oh, there!

Track two!

Track two!

Wait!

Wait!

Yeah!

OK.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

We did it.

I'm good.

OK.

Let's see if we

can get some seats.

Oh, no.

Hello.

OK.

OK, I'm starting

to sense a theme here.

A little pattern here.

I hope we can find a seat.

What if we sit

in the caboose hobo style?

I mean, it's gotta be

somewhere with a seat, right?

Oh, what do you think?

Yeah, it's better than nothing.

That's right.

- Hello.

- Ciao.

Ciao.

Hello.

Thank you.

I am never riding

a donkey again.

Hey, it's not

the animals' fault.

We shouldn't have gotten

off them in the first place.

In fact, I shouldn't have

gone on the excursion at all.

It was wildly irresponsible.

OK, it was also so fun,

and not to mention, gorgeous.

Wow.

Yeah, that's

a beautiful picture.

You know, why don't

you text that to me.

I'm going to print

it up, frame it, and

hang it on my home

office wall, because I'm

going to get fired this week.

Parker, you gotta breathe, OK?

You missed one stop.

If your boss wants to fire

you for an honest mistake,

you're not meant

to be there, OK?

No, sorry.

I'm just... you know, I'm

just a little on edge.

Forgive me, I don't know why.

I'm not going to get any sleep

tonight, my back's already hurt,

and I've got

the laptop withdrawals.

Oh, right, the precious laptop.

Oh, you're one to talk,

you and that precious notepad

of yours.

What are you talking about?

Uh, the notepad that

fell out of your purse.

When I tried to hand

it back to you,

you snatched it away like it

was your middle school diary.

I did not do that.

What are you hiding

in there, hmm, Kelly?

Kelly, why don't you tell

me what's inside of it.

Nothing.

- Well, then show me.

- No.

I wouldn't have taken

it, but that proves to me

that you're hiding something.

It is a work thing, and I don't

want to talk about it about it.

Why, because you're on vacation?

Yes!

Is that OK?

- That's fine.

- Great!

- Sure.

- Fine.

- Good.

- Great.

Thank you.

OK, I am going to try

to get some sleep.

Don't get too comfortable.

We're switching

trains in Messina.

OK.

OK.

Seriously, this is going

to be the longest night ever.

That's weird.

This is an express train.

It's not meant

to make local stops.

Are they stopping

the train because we

didn't pay for the tickets?

I told you we should have

paid for the tickets.

Because we didn't buy tickets?

I bought them online, OK?

Just relax.

Do you speak English?

English?

The train workers

are going on strike.

In the middle of the night?

They happen when they happen.

What's going to happen now?

The train is going

to stop in the next town,

and we're all going to get off.

Well, how long is

that going to take?

Could be a few hours.

Could be a few days.

OK.

How are you so calm?

This happens all

the time in Italy.

We got used to it.

How are the buses.

Do you think we could get one?

In the morning, yes.

But at this hour,

it's going to be hard.

Taxis?

Can we get a cab to take us?

I doubt it.

Taxis are really rare

when there is a strike.

Um, what are

the workers upset about?

Like, why are they striking?

Judging by the picket signs, it

looks like they are worried

about losing their jobs.

We've got that in common.

You think you could

translate for me?

I suppose.

Great.

What is she doing?

Hi!

I'm so... excuse me.

Sorry.

I know it's late.

I know we're all tired.

We're all a little bit stressed.

But if you want to just give

me a moment of your time,

I think I have something that

could cheer you up a little.

Take a look at this

handsome American by my side.

He might look like an average

tourist, but he's not.

This is Parker Andrews,

powerful businessman.

And he is key to helping

you save your jobs.

Parker is in Italy to secure

a large business deal that

will help bring more

tourism and help bring

more investments to your area.

And that, in turn,

would give more

business to the train company,

which could help save your jobs.

They like Sicily as it is.

They don't want too

many tourists here.

I respect that.

But that is the beauty of the

company that he is dealing with.

They are about

quality, not quantity.

So you will always

have tourism, but

they will ensure that the

service and the tours that they

bring will be

of the highest standard

that the Italian

people can be proud of.

And how they

can be sure of that?

Oh, because I work

for the company that makes sure

his company meet

the highest standards.

So I promise you that I will not

allow this deal to go

through unless it

is good for the Italian people.

So I'm not asking

you not to strike, OK?

I'm asking you

to wait six hours so

that we can get back on the ship

and finish our business.

So what do you say?

Can you help us help you?

Yeah?

Yes!

Oh, take my number.

If you need anything,

just give me a call.

- Bye.

- Thank you.

Bye.

OK.

You are very

lucky, Miss America.

Yes, I know.

I know.

I did not actually think

that that was going to work.

You're strong.

I like that.

And I'm from Syracuse,

so can go home.

Ah, prego.

Thank you.

Let's get us some good seats.

I'm coming in.

I'm dropping back.

It's fourth and 9.

It's fourth and 9.

A lot of pressure.

I dop back.

I see John on the post.

I drop back.

Then I throw the ball.

Completion and touchdown.

OK, I win.

We win.

All right?

Hey, would you guys

excuse me real quick?

Hi.

Hey.

Oh, investor time.

Hope I'm not intruding.

Absolutely not.

You're saving me.

These guys are, like, blasting

me with question after question.

Let's just say I could use

your brother right now.

Oh, well, I have good news.

I think.

So looks like their service

is pretty spotty,

but the last text I got

said they caught a night

train that's going

to get them into Syracuse

before we get to port.

That is smooth jazz to my ears.

I can't do this

alone much longer.

I'm running out of stories.

Well, in the meantime,

maybe I could help you,

like, schmooze it up a bit.

Oh?

I'm in PR.

After all, it's

kind of my thang.

Then by all means,

schmooze away.

You want to introduce me?

OK.

Ladies and gentlemen, I

would like you to meet Emily.

This is the sister

of our lead counsel

and a wonderful new friend.

Yeah, see, I would love to talk,

but I actually have

a strict mandatory dance

policy when I'm at a jazz club.

So maybe you can

help me with that.

Judy, let's hit

the floor and get crazy.

Just when I thought our seats

couldn't get any worse.

Just be grateful you

are on a moving train.

So, do you want

to talk about this?

Which part?

Oh, I don't even

know where to start.

The part where you

delivered a riveting speech

to break a workers strike

in Sicily, or the fact

that you casually

mentioned that you work

for the company that's

trying to k*ll the deal

that I'm trying to make.

OK, not what we're doing.

It's what you did for the Davies

Capital Rising Phoenix deal.

If I remember correctly, I

read that on the front page

of the journal.

- Uh huh.

And if you read

past the headline,

you would also have seen

that that was because they

had fraudulent product reviews.

Yeah.

Well, our cruise line doesn't.

And I never said you did.

Hmm.

Cornetto?

- No, thanks.

Brushed my teeth already.

Where'd you get a toothbrush?

Um, here.

You can have my spare.

I have everything in here.

Yeah, you do have

everything in that little bag,

including a notebook...

a notebook

in which you write nasty

things about the cruise ship.

Parker, it is my job.

And frankly, it is

none of your business.

Uh, it's a little bit...

And may I remind you

that I did not have

to do what I did back there.

I chose to do it

so that you would

have a chance to get back on

your boat and close your deal.

OK?

So I think a little grazie

mille or at least a grazie uno

would be appropriate.

It is why I offered

you a Cornetto.

I am grateful.

I am very grateful.

I'm also kind of blown away.

Like, literally don't

know how to process

what you did back there.

It was like a speech from

Remember the Titans and

Glengarry Glen Ross.

I mean, I'm still

in shock over it.

And I also am very stressed

out about the situation

that we're in right now.

And when I'm stressed,

I make a lot of jokes.

And my jokes are

sarcastic, and the sarcasm

gets me into a lot of trouble.

You should stick

to your dad jokes.

Well, I can't make

them unless I'm calm.

Hmm, that's actually

very useful information.

So what's up?

You got some dirt

you want to show

me in that notebook of yours?

Something about the cruise?

Any inside intel

you can give me?

First off, you

know I can't do that.

And second off, it's

kind of hard to review

a boat that you are not aboard.

So you want to get back

on that as badly as I do, huh?

I mean, I think I'm

a little more chill about it

than you in general.

But, you know,

yeah, it's be nice.

Chill?

Did you see you're chill?

Yeah.

I'd say it's more

like cold blooded.

You stood on a bench,

and you laid it out.

You could get the Newsies

to stop dancing and start

selling papes for Pulitzer.

It's just...

I like you when you're stressed.

You know, I'm one

third sarcastic myself?

You don't say.

Yeah, on my Irish side.

Naturally.

We should get some rest.

Yeah.

Otherwise, tomorrow's

going to be rough.

Don't get too comfortable.

We got to change

trains in Messina.

Thank you for informing me.

Hey, I'll be

Mess-seeing-ya later.

Oh, that is not one

of your best puns.

Are you Syracus-ing

me of making a bad joke?

Stop, please.

You're really off your game.

I told you I was stressed.

Here... you can use that.

It's been a while, but I've

been told that it's comfy.

Afraid I'm going

to give it a bad review?

No, I'm pretty

confident in the quality.

Hmm.

OK.

Four and half stars.

I'll take it.

You gotta be kidding me.

What's wrong?

My back went from bad

to worse after sleeping

on that sardine can last night.

OK, well, let's get

you back to the ship, OK?

I'm sure there's

a massage therapist there

that can make you feel better.

- Oh, that sounds like heaven.

The only problem is

I have to physically

make it back onto the ship.

It really hurts!

It's that bad, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Well, got us a cab.

You know, the pain,

it's like lightning.

I never know when

it's going to...

strike.

Man, it's really raining here!

Come on.

Let's go.

OK, let's get you in.

Come on.

All right.

Got it.

Hello!

Can you let me in?

Come on!

OK!

Un momento, per favore.

I don't have any service.

Do you have service?

Yeah, I do.

OK, can you look up

the address for the port?

Actually, how many

ports can there be?

I'm just going

to ask for the port.

No, no, no, no, no.

Un momento.

They're not at the port.

The storm... they gotta

reroute the ship.

OK, how long are they delayed?

They're not going there at all.

They're finding another

port to avoid the storm.

Uh...

- OK.

OK.

OK.

OK.

OK.

OK.

OK.

OK, what are we going to do?

Hotel Colomba, per favore.

Come on!

Hi.

Hello.

- Hi.

How can I help you?

Uh, hi, Francesca.

My name is Parker

Andrews, and I'd

like to reserve two executive

suites for early check in.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't believe we

have availability.

I know you're

supposed to say that.

But I also know

that luxury resorts

such as the Hotel Colomba, they

hold back certain accommodations

for VIP members.

Sorry, I am not authorized

to disclose that information,

but I would be happy

to try and book you

with one of our competitors.

OK, well, luckily,

I am authorized.

So I'm Adam Crandall's

personal attorney,

and he loves this resort of all

the resorts that he owns,

even the ones that

float on the sea.

And he said, I simply

must stay here.

So if you want, I can call him.

Oh, no, that won't be necessary.

I'll be right back

with your room keys.

Matteo.

You know, you could have led

with the fancy business card

and the Adam Crandall mention.

Yeah, I know.

I don't like the name drop.

Um, but you could also thank me

for the luxury suite, Parker.

You could say that.

Apologies.

Thank you so much!

Oh, my back.

Ooh.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

It's OK.

I just need a little rest.

You just text me when

you're ready to go.

Because you know, as soon

as that weather clears,

we got to get back on the road.

- Right.

But the question

is, where do we go?

We don't even know

where the boat's going.

Well, we'll stay on top of it.

We cannot miss it a third time.

No, I will not let that happen.

I don't know what

to tell you, George.

We're in the middle

of a medicane here.

Excuse me.

What's a...

Oh, it's

a Mediterranean hurricane.

Look it up.

It's real.

I don't want to look up anything

unless it's your QC report

on the company's server.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

And I am doing my absolute best.

I'm actually staying

at their top tier hotel

in Syracuse, which technically

will be a part of the buyout.

So I'm doing quality

control as we speak.

That's

really great to know, Kelly.

But the client wants a QC

report on their cruise

liner, not their hotels.

I need you back on the boat now.

OK, you got it.

Hello?

Oh, OK.

It's like heaven, Maria.

I am doing everything

I can to get back.

In fact, I threw out

my back trying to do so.

I had no idea that a freak

storm was going to send the ship

to the other side of Italy.

Well, I

know it's not your fault.

I'm just getting really

stressed over here

dealing with all these suits.

You know what I'm saying?

The storm

and the reroute kind of

freaked them out with

the unpredictability

of this type of investment.

So I'm just hoping it

doesn't scare them, you know?

That's just

a negotiation tactic.

That's why we have force

majeure built into the deal.

Don't sweat that.

They're just... they're bluffing.

So how is it out there, huh?

Are you weathering the storm.

Are you guys drenched?

Well, it hasn't rained a drop.

They rerouted us

to some Greek isle.

I don't know, Corfu

or something like that.

So we missed the storm entirely.

The sun's shining, and I'm

on my second frozen c*ck.

Seriously?

Well, how are the waves

out there, man?

Are they... are they huge?

It's like glass out here.

I could easily

barefoot water ski.

Hey, that actually reminds me...

I know a dude in Lake

Como that has the sickest,

most righteous setup.

We are going after we

close this bad boy.

If... if we close.

I don't like that talk, man.

I think I found a bit

of a situation out here.

I don't like that either.

What's going on?

You know the woman that I'm

stuck here with from the cruise?

Oh, the cutie with

the Mary Poppins bag?

Wait, how do you know

about the Mary Poppins bag?

Well, your sister told me.

Anyway, what's wrong?

She sounds like the good

kind of problem, Parker.

I found out that she

is the secret shopper

for Staley and Scholes due

diligence and quality control.

Oh, wait, excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Valeria, right?

- Yeah.

All right.

Can I get some calamari?

- Yeah, sure.

- Excellent.

Thank you.

- Adam.

Oh, Valeria... grilled, please.

Adam?

Adam, are you there?

Sorry, I was

ordering some calamari.

No carbs though.

I mean, it's bad news,

but it's not... it's not all bad.

Are you kidding me?

This is amazing.

It's almost like you planned it.

- How do you figure?

Think about it.

The only person that

could sink this ship

here isn't even on the boat.

I love it.

Well, we're going

to be back on the boat,

and then I'm going

to strategize...

Strategy has changed, my friend.

Your new goal is to stall

her as long as you can.

But she just

wants to do her job.

And so do you, right?

Yes.

So your job is to keep

her off the boat.

At least until Dubrovnik...

that's when I really need you.

We don't have to hide anything.

We're not hiding anything.

She's probably going to give

a positive review anyway.

But good or bad doesn't hurt any

of us if she's just a little,

uh, delayed.

OK, so... so what are

you suggesting that I do?

You said your back

was hurt, right?

Just milk that a little bit.

- You know what?

I feel like I got to get

back, and I'm going to help

you settle the investors down.

You said they were

getting restless, right?

Emily has been a big help.

I'll just lean on her

until you get back.

You know, I'm not

so comfortable with you

spending time with my sister.

I mean...

Hey, hey, I gotta bail, my man.

They're about to do

poolside karaoke,

and my jam is about to come up.

OK?

Stick to the new plan.

Adam.

Adam?

Adam!

Adam!

I'm coming!

Oh, hi.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Sorry to bother you, sir.

I just wanted to say how sorry

I was for the misunderstanding

about the rooms.

No, no, no.

It's... it was...

it's totally fine.

And this is from the gift shop.

- You shouldn't have.

- I didn't.

Miss Kelly Coates asked

me to drop it off for her.

Oh, well, thank you.

Arrivederci.

Yeah, arrive... bye.

Morning!

Thought you might

need a wardrobe change

for part two of our journey.

PS, the backpack is no Mary

Poppins bag, but it will do.

Mr. Andrews,

you clean up nice.

Grazie mille.

This is some secret

shopping I can get behind.

So thank you.

You got to tell me

how much they cost,

because I want to pay you back.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Let it be my gift.

I mean, you spoiled me with

the VIP suite after all.

Technically, that

was an expense account.

But I will take the credit.

Ah, grazie.

Mm.

You look really

nice, by the way.

I'm a secret shopper

for work and for fun.

So, are you ready

to start planning?

Because we have

a lot to look at.

Yes, let's.

The storm shut down

all transportation today,

but I figured that we could

look at options for to...

Oh.

Is it still that bad?

Yeah, oh.

It just... it comes in waves.

I got plenty of rest.

I put the ice on it.

I think I need

to go see a doctor.

And we're in Italy, so you

know how that's going to go.

I already got

you an appointment.

Wow.

How did you manage that?

Like you said, it's

Italy, so health care

is a little different here.

So I couldn't get you

a traditional doctor,

but I did get you

an alternative healer.

Alternative?

Yeah, I'm not

so sure about that.

I figured you'd say that,

but that's the only person I

could get on such short notice.

And I don't want

to rush this... however,

we are both under the g*n,

and we need to be on the road

as soon as the weather clears.

OK?

So why don't we give it a shot?

I gotta lay down for a minute.

Right here in the...

OK, in the restaurant.

So do you want

to look at my back?

Yeah, I can go in the...

That won't be necessary.

You don't need

to see what's wrong?

No, I can feel it.

Ah.

All the physical pain

we experience in life

comes from buried feelings.

And you have a lot to uncover,

don't you, Mr. Parker?

Uh, what I do do is love

to take about 800 milligrams

of ibuprofen.

So do you have a prescription

pad lying around, or?

I could give you

some willow bark tea

and send you on your way.

OK.

But that would

be the simple solution.

Of course it would.

Treating the symptoms may

give you temporary relief.

It won't cure

the deeper problems.

You know what, I don't

think this is a good fit.

So...

You know what, I

think we should listen

to what Dr. Valcano has to say.

You may think

my methods are new age,

but in fact they are age old.

Da Vinci himself was trained

in my line of treatment.

It's what made him

a master of observation.

OK, I'll bite.

What is my pain telling you?

The back is the support

of our entire body.

If we have pain, it comes from

feeling unsupported in life.

The lower back in particular

tells me two things.

The first is you

have a deep worry

of losing financial support.

Did you tell her

about the merger?

I said nothing.

I swear.

She didn't need to.

The pain told me.

OK, OK.

You're one for one.

What else is my pain

saying to you?

The other thing it could

suggest deals with love.

Are you OK discussing it

with your lover in the room?

She's not.

We're friends.

Yeah.

Yes, your friend.

The pain tells me that

you were in a relationship

which hurt you very badly.

The only way to truly heal

it is to stop running away.

You know what, I'd rather just

get that willow bark tea to go,

and I think we'll be on our way.

I only serve it after

a shiatsu massage.

50 euros cash.

No refund.

We have a deal?

I got a feeling I

don't have a choice.

You know, it's too bad we

can't just get on that boat.

You know, I checked,

and it's going to Istanbul.

Formerly known

as Constantinople.

You know what?

That's nobody's

business but the Turks.

It is so gorgeous here.

It looks like we're enjoying

the calm after the storm.

Salute!

Salute!

Only one glass.

I booked us on a 9:00

AM flight to Corfu.

There's only one departure

a day, and we cannot miss it.

Are you sure you don't want

to stick around Syracuse.

It's beautiful when

it's not raining.

Sure, I'd love to stick around.

We both kind of need to get

back on that boat, though.

I mean, to be honest, I'm

just soaking in the moment.

Can I be really honest?

Sure.

And not a little vulnerable.

Oh.

I have had a really great

time getting to know you.

And I know that when we get

back on that boat, we're going

back into work, and it's...

but here, it's just you and me.

Huh.

Well, if I didn't

know any better,

I'd think you were trying

to keep me off that ship.

Hey, can you blame

a guy for trying?

I'm not too injured

to get back on the boat.

So much for that doctor that

you highly recommended and

her failed Mr. Miyagi massage.

I promise you, she came

very highly recommended.

I will say this,

there was some truth

to her words of wisdom.

- Really?

Like what?

Not if it's a one

glass only night.

This is a share-the-whole-bottle

story at minimum.

Order me some pasta

and I could be convinced.

You got a deal.

You were saying?

Oh... now?

Just that Dr. Valcano, you

know, there was some truth

to what she said about love.

I was married

for almost 10 years.

Amazing woman.

She was... she was

the love of my life.

Or so I thought.

Five years ago,

we were this close

to our 10-year anniversary.

And so I planned this

really big trip to Italy.

Here, in fact.

We were going to stay here.

Adam had just bought

this property,

and he was raving about it.

So I booked 10 nights

and two first-class tickets.

And in the taxi,

on the way to the airport,

she had this breakdown

out of nowhere

and said she didn't

want to go with me.

What happened?

It's just an age-old story.

She loved me, but she wasn't

in love with me anymore.

Was there someone else?

I mean, she said no, but she

started seeing someone pretty

quickly after the separation.

So I have my doubts.

Parker, I'm so sorry.

It's OK.

It happens.

And I have to take some

of the responsibility.

I mean, I was

obsessed with work.

I was doing it for us.

You know, I thought I was

building towards our future.

But I realize now that

I was just chipping

away at our foundation.

That is a hard

realization to make.

And now I'm wondering

if Dr. Valcano wasn't right

about the other thing, too.

What, that you're running away?

Yeah.

And I'm not afraid

of commitment.

Like, I really want

a relationship.

I just... I'm afraid

of more pain.

And with that, I'm

going to top myself off.

You came back here, didn't you?

What do you mean?

I mean, you had a whole trip

planned to celebrate here.

It must have taken a lot of guts

to walk through those doors

yesterday and check in.

You're right, I guess.

I guess I have healed

more than I thought.

You can't see

if the wound has healed

until the bandage comes off.

You know what?

My back is actually healed.

Yeah, that's probably the wine.

Yeah, you're probably right.

All right, your turn.

What was your biggest

heartbreak?

As sad as it is,

I don't have one.

I don't believe that.

How is that possible?

I mean, I've had relationships.

I just end them before

it gets too serious.

I've seen so much

heartbreak... my parents

and then a few of my friends.

I don't know if I want

to risk it, calculated or not.

Guess we're both

afraid of the pain.

We have that in common.

To us.

Lucky us.

Yeah.

- I overslept.

- I know.

So did I!

The airport, it's an hour away!

We're never going to make it!

Well, we have to try.

I'll meet you

in the lobby in two minutes.

Can you make it one?

Make it one.

OK, OK.

Parker!

Parker!

All right.

We got this.

- I don't think so.

- Yep.

- It's a long drive.

- You did real good.

That was one minute.

Yeah, we got this.

Gotta calla cab.

Hey!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Buongiorno.

Buongiorno.

Francesca, can you order

us a taxi to Catania airport?

Right away, sir.

Si pronto.

Do you think we have a chance?

Well, the airport's

30 minutes away.

It's all going

to depend on security.

But if we can catch a cab...

Yeah!

I think we have a chance!

Wait, wait.

OK.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

My passport!

- What, seriously?

- I think I left it in the room.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

We have to get

in this cab right now

or we're going

to miss this flight.

They're not going to let

me on the plane without it.

Parker, I need to get back!

Hey, you gotta go.

All right?

I'll find my own way.

I will meet you in Bari.

What?

Go.

Go.

Listen, I put it

right in the drawer,

right on top of the Gideon's

Bible, so I wouldn't forget it.

And I told myself, put it

here so you don't forget it.

And...

You know, for someone

as smart as you are,

you certainly are forgetful.

It's the struggles

of a beautiful mind, sis.

Struggles of a beautiful mind.

Well, I hope you're

having fun at least.

You and Kelly

getting close at all?

No!

No.

She's on her way

back to the cruise,

and I'm stranded

here in Syracuse,

and Adam is going

to be doubly mad at me.

- Wait, why double?

- Like you don't know.

I heard you guys are

real buddy, buddy.

You should be

thanking me, actually.

Because I'm doing this for you

and your precious deal, OK?

Really?

You're not doing

it because you want

to hang out with a billionaire

bachelor on the high seas?

That is not why,

and you know it.

But you know, actually,

we're kind of having

fun getting to know each other.

Just be careful, he tends

to prioritize business

over his relationships.

What do you mean?

He asked me

to purposefully contain

Kelly from getting

back onto the ship

so that she couldn't do her job.

OK, that is not OK.

Oh, is this why you forgot

your password in your room?

No!

No!

That was an honest

mistake, I swear,

and I would never

do that to her.

Absolutely not.

And this is why Adam's

going to be extra mad at you?

Yes, because I'm still here,

and she is about to be there.

You know what?

Why don't you just

let me deal with Adam.

What are you talking about?

What are you going to do?

He has to know this isn't right.

Don't say anything to Adam!

You're not employed by him.

Ipso facto, he can't fire you.

Yeah, exactly.

Hey, listen, I got to go,

because I got a dance class

I signed up for with Adam.

I'll let you know how it goes.

- Emily!

Emily!

Emily!

Golly.

I'm going to get fired.

I'm getting get fired.

Careful, you don't want

to throw out your back again.

OK, hold on a second.

What are you doing here?

Did you miss your plane?

- I did not.

I made it with two

minutes to spare.

Even had time for the espresso

vending machine.

Well, I don't understand.

Why are you here?

I made it to the flight, Parker.

I chose to not get on it.

OK?

I mean, I figure we got

into this pickle together.

It's only fair that we

get out of it together.

Yeah, but what about your job?

Well, I am trying

to follow my own advice.

If he's going to fire me

for making an honest mistake,

I'm not meant to be there.

OK.

I mean, that is a very

healthy attitude.

It's bold, but it's

very healthy.

Yeah, I realized I have

the same tendency as you.

I put work before

everything else, including

what's right in front of me.

Let's get back

on that boat together.

Oh, golly.

You know, if my head

wasn't screwed to my neck...

Are you sure this

is the best solution?

Because we missed

our flight, I believe

it is our only solution.

How do you figure?

The trains are still on strike,

and there is not a single rental

car available in all of Sicily.

We get to the mainland, right?

We get a cab, and we

hire somebody to drive

us the rest of the way.

You're so cute.

They're too busy

because of the strike,

and there is a bunch

of union rules,

a bunch of driving regulations.

It's a mess.

Because we're in

Godfather country.

OK, you can't reference

a movie you haven't seen.

Noted.

Got it.

All right, back to your plan.

Yes, I called Valentina to help.

Who is Valentina?

She's the woman that helped me

translate at the train station.

She gave me her card.

Parker, you gotta keep up, OK?

Right.

Her cousin owns a fishing boat.

OK.

Didn't we learn our lesson

about excursions in Palermo?

OK, stop.

I am going to ban sarcasm

until further notice.

Duly noted.

This plan of yours,

I am so confused.

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

Come here.

We're here, right?

And the boat is docked all

the way up here in Bari.

And it leaves

at 8:30 PM sharp.

It goes all the way

to Dubrovnik.

That is right.

Now, Valentina's

cousin really likes

to fish in the Gulf of Taranto.

Apparently the branzino

really bite after a big storm.

- Well, that's a fun fact.

- Isn't it?

Yeah.

So if we can just find

him in all this chaos,

we can catch a ride

to the Port of Taranto.

And then from there, we find her

other cousin who has arranged

for transportation to Bari.

This woman is amazing and

apparently related to everyone.

That's right.

And if all goes

according to plan,

we will be back

on the boat by nightfall.

Which gives me enough

time to prep with Adam

for the merger meeting.

And if I work through the night,

I can still deliver my report

to my boss in the morning.

And for the record, I am

totally on board with that.

- Good.

- OK.

So how do we find

cousin number one?

I don't know.

But she said his name is Andrea,

he works on the main dock,

and his boat is blue or red.

- Can we use sarcasm yet?

- No time.

We gotta find him.

- Call him.

Oh, she said he's old school.

He doesn't have a phone.

Why doesn't he

have a cell phone?

I never really needed one.

I like to be present with

the people in my presence.

I'm so glad you found us.

Your cousin, Valentina,

said that you could help

us get to the Port of Taranto.

Valentina told you this?

Yes.

Valentina is right.

I may be able to help you.

But only if this strapping

young man will help me.

He will do whatever you say.

Come on, you're

mopping like a child.

Mop like a man!

Did he just say...

Come on, I want to see

your American teeth

sparkling in that window.

Oh, missed a spot.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, here, I can help with this.

No, sorry, I'm

very superstitious.

It's very bad luck for a woman

to touch the fishing tackle.

Oh.

Good luck for you,

because it's heavy.

With your back.

OK.

Oh, careful.

Bravo.

OK, do little circles.

Si.

I said little circles!

Are you listening to me?

I'm trying to do little circles.

Yes, you're not

trying hard enough.

I got this.

Let me do it.

Woo!

Bari, here I come.

Here we come!

Hey grab a hold of that

little thing there.

2, 3.

1, 2, 3.

You're pretty quiet there.

Are you focusing

on your dance moves,

or is there something

on your mind?

A little of both.

Spill it.

I don't think

that's something you'd

want your investors to hear.

OK.

Very good.

Keep the feet up.

Nice.

Looking good.

I don't like the sound of that.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I mean, maybe something

to do with the fact

you asked my brother

to stop Kelly

from getting back on the boat.

1, 2, 3.

1, 2...

Hey, she represents

the competition.

This is business.

It's not personal.

No, things like this happen.

She shouldn't be

punished for them.

I'm not punishing anyone.

OK?

I just find the situation

serendipitous.

Yeah.

I think the word you're

looking for is surreptitious.

OK, that's a little unfair.

Wouldn't you rather win

this deal fair and square?

Let's keep it down, shall we?

Why?

I don't have anything to hide.

Do you?

1, 2, 3.

Look, I wanted

to help out because I

feel bad for my brother

and because you

seem like a really good guy.

Unless you change the way

you're handling the situation,

you're going to find

yourself alone in this.

And I don't just mean me.

I mean Parker too.

Do not take his

goodness for granted.

Please.

Nice.

I think I'm feeling

a little seasick,

so I'm going to go lie down.

Hey, how's your back?

Never been better.

Ah, I guess Dr. Valcano

was right after all.

She was.

I'm really glad I let

her take a quack at me.

Oh, dad, jokes are back.

I guess you're

feeling calm again?

Somehow that is exactly

how you make me feel.

Now, can you cure

my seasickness?

I wish I had some Dramamine

for this drama king out here.

Touche.

I can't even be mad

at you for that one.

Hey, Belladonna?

Si.

Your turn to drive.

Oh, is that not bad luck?

Quite the opposite, actually.

You're going to drive?

OK.

So put your hands on the wheel.

Yes.

Yeah.

Just like driving a car.

I'm not feeling so calm now.

Hey

Stop.

Stop the boat!

k*ll the engine!

Hey, what's wrong.

Is everything OK?

I almost forgot

the most important thing.

The money.

Oh, yes.

Absolutely.

Whatever it costs,

we're happy to pay it.

Shouldn't we be paying you?

Throw them in the water.

This is a two-euro coin.

Shouldn't we be using, like,

maybe a two-cent coin instead?

If you're generous

to the sea, she

will be generous back to you.

Toss them over your shoulder.

3, 2, 1.

Belle.

Today's going to be a lucky one.

Right.

So what does

the cousin look like?

I don't know.

She didn't say.

She just said that there was

going to be transportation

waiting on the dock.

- What's his name?

Mario.

Well, that really

narrows it down.

Sorry, embargo on the sarcasm.

What about his phone number?

You got that on your phone?

Yeah.

My phone is almost dead.

Oh, no, scratch that.

It is dead.

It's fine, it's fine.

She said he would be here.

OK.

Hey.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Vroom.

Hah!

Miss Kelly, I apologize that

I could not escort you myself,

but Limoncello will

get you there safely.

Leave her at the dock in Bari

to the woman at the gelato cart.

Buon viaggio, Mario.

This is not good.

This is not good.

- Why?

Do I look dumb?

I am terrified of motorcycles.

Good thing this is

just a glorified scooter.

Parker, you don't understand.

I'm terrified of anything

that only has two wheels.

OK, my childhood bike still

has the training wheels on it.

Hey, Kelly, I was

born to ride this thing.

All you got to do

is hold on tight.

You might look dumb.

I look dumber.

Try not to eat any

junebugs on the way.

There's a world that

I want to show you

So take my hand

Let's find something new

Both feet on the ground

Going to hit it running

Looking everywhere

to get what you want

Going to treat you right so...

Should we check out

Boardwalk or Park Place?

OK, buddy.

You know what?

Just keep driving or I'm going

to send you straight to jail.

You got it.

We made it!

With seven minutes to spare.

Oh!

Well, that is cause

for celebration.

Si, senor.

Hello.

Hello.

So Mario said you would know

what to do with Limoncello.

Yeah?

Si?

And I would love some gelato.

Can I have some

pistachio, please?

And the lady would like?

Oh, stracciatella.

Stracciatella, of course.

We did it.

Yeah.

You know what?

Now that we're here,

I feel a little sad.

Why?

Well, we had

quite the adventure.

Well, just because we're

getting back on the boat

doesn't mean

the adventure has to stop.

I like the sound of that.

Grazie mille.

All right, salute.

Salute.

And that sound means we

got to get back on the boat.

Get on the boat!

Get on the boat!

Yeah!

Ah, we made it!

Hey!

All right, I am going to go.

I have to go get cleaned up.

But I'm going to go

find Emily and Adam.

Yes.

Me, too.

Well, no, just

the cleaning up part.

I gotta plug my phone

in and get to work, you know?

OK.

Um, so you know what I

think I'm going to do?

I think at midnight,

I'm going to go down

to that 24-hour pizza oven...

if you want to join me.

I'm still going to be up, so...

You might as well

swing by for research.

Research, right.

And then, let's...

I'm going to...

- Get out of here.

- I'll see you there.

See you there.

All right, bye.

I'll see you there.

Bye.

See you later.

Bye

Oh, Kelly.

Hi.

I'm so glad you guys are back.

Yeah.

In fact, I heard you

were quite the hero

and saved the day.

No, no, no.

It was a team effort.

Yeah.

Well, I appreciate it.

And, um, I owe you an apology.

You do?

Yeah, I realize I shouldn't have

asked Parker

to purposely stall you

from getting back on the boat.

It was wrong.

It was, uh, selfish

and opportunistic,

and frankly unnecessary.

I shouldn't have put you or him

in that position, and I...

I'm sorry.

Well, I am so glad you told me.

Oh, me too.

Big load off my chest.

Yeah.

You know, it was Emily.

Emily actually is the one

that stood up to me and said...

Adam, you know what?

I gotta go.

OK?

But I'm... I'm sorry.

Good luck

on your meeting tomorrow.

OK, see you soon.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

George, hi.

I'm so sorry I've

been out of pocket.

I can explain

everything, and I promise

you I will have

everything uploaded

to the platform by 6:00 AM.

Save it, Kelly.

There's nothing more to explain.

They threatened

to cancel our contract,

so I brought in somebody else.

You're kidding me, right?

I wish I was.

They boarded the ship

in Corfu, and their work

has been really solid.

I'm going to have to let you go.

Sorry, this came from the top.

George.

I'm sorry, I'm confused.

Do you mean let me go from

this assignment or from my job?

I'm sorry, Kelly, but it's both.

Gotta go.

When can we talk?

Taking

a break from work already?

Slacker.

- I

- just got fired, Parker.

They brought on somebody else.

I am so sorry.

Meet me at the lido lounge.

Thank you.

Hey, Kelly.

I'm sorry.

What happened?

Don't do that.

You know exactly what happened.

Seriously, I'm in the dark.

You know what you're

doing right now,

Parker, is not sarcasm.

It's just straight

up dishonesty.

OK, I know you're upset

because you lost your job.

I'm upset because you

knew I was on a deadline

and you deliberately stalled me.

OK...

Adam told me.

Of course he did.

Your back.

Was that an act

or was that real?

No, that was... that was real.

Honest.

Promise.

- And the passport?

The forgotten passport?

That was very convenient.

Honest mistake.

Why would I put you in a cab

to get you back on the boat

if I was trying

to deliberately delay you?

I don't know!

I don't know what

to think, Parker.

I just know that I keep...

I keep replaying that

dinner that we had together

in Syracuse, you asking me to

stay because you're having such

a good time getting to know me.

And I... I just...

I feel so stupid.

Every word of that was true.

Yes, Adam asked me to delay you.

I didn't listen to him.

You could ask my sister.

I told her about it immediately.

Maybe you should have told me.

You're right.

Good luck

on your meeting tomorrow.

I hope it was worth it.

Kelly.

Oh, that is such a cute dress.

Permission to come aboard?

What's the password?

I don't know.

I think it's something like

I was wrong for being so

shortsighted about

the Kelly situation,

and I'm glad you had the guts to

tell me and put me in my place.

Did you make it right?

Well, I told her

the truth and apologized.

I haven't seen Parker yet.

But when I do, I plan

on doing the same.

Password accepted.

Sweet.

You should have a chance

to see Parker soon, because I

told him to meet me here.

Well, I can't wait

to hear the adventures.

Yeah.

You know, I am

so impressed with how you're

able to be so honest with me.

I'm realizing there aren't

a lot of people in my life

that are willing to do that.

Maybe you should

rethink who's your life.

There it is again.

It's... you are just brutally

honest, and I love it.

Hey, what did you say to her?

I was just telling Emily that

I apologized for my little plan

to have you delay her

from getting on the boat.

All right.

And did you fail

to mention to her that I

didn't follow through with it?

I didn't know

what was happening.

Both of your phones died, so I

was kind of left in the dark.

Whatever you said to her

got her very upset with me.

More importantly, she

got fired for this.

- No.

- Yeah.

I am sorry.

I truly am.

I let opportunity get

in the way of honor,

and I regret even mentioning it.

Forgive me?

Of course.

All right.

So what do we do now?

I don't know, Parker.

You're the head

of operations and strategy.

You tell me.

Ah, thank you, sir.

Looks amazing.

Thank you.

Care to share a slice?

Hey.

I didn't think I was

going to see you again.

Well, you promised pizza.

I did.

Yeah, it's not... it's

not a Margherita pizza.

I'm more of a dirty

martini girl anyway.

Was that a pun-based

peace offering?

It was.

Except you should have

said pizza offering.

Talk about missing the boat.

You know that I was

telling the truth, right?

I would never have purposely

kept you from getting back.

Yeah, I know.

I thought back to that

moment in the cab.

I realized I saw

the truth in your eyes.

Plus, you were such

a baby about your back.

There was no way you

were faking that.

Right?

I know.

It just further proves my case.

I'm sorry you lost your job.

It's OK.

No, really.

It's fine.

I'm the one who chose

to not get on that plane.

And I don't regret it.

You know, If they're

going to fire

you for making

an honest mistake,

you weren't meant to be there.

Those are wise words.

Who said that?

Pretty sure it was me.

Plus, you know, I think

it's going to motivate

me to go out on my own.

I think I'd make a pretty

decent independent consultant.

I'm pretty sure you would.

Actually, I have some

notes on your presentation

if you want me to help

you close the deal.

Say no more.

Here.

Where do you want to start?

Spreadsheets or projections?

Pizza.

I can't believe that you

rented a medieval museum

for this meeting.

Well, I know how to set a vibe.

So let's just deliver now, huh?

Well, you ready, secret weapon?

On your order, my liege.

Limoncello on three.

1, 2, 3.

Limoncello!

- They don't...

- It's an off-the-boat thing.

You wouldn't understand.

OK.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen, how about

we get this party started?

Grab some pastries.

Frank the Tank, I want you

to try those croissants.

They're magnificent.

One last thing that I want

to talk to you about, though.

I feel like in today's

day and age,

the hardest thing is finding

that work-life balance.

We are in a culture that

is obsessed with success.

We forget to take time with

the people that we love.

Now, if you add Crandall Cruises

to your portfolio, what you will

be offering millions

of people all around

the world is the chance

to rediscover that balance.

Now, there's only

one person who can

say it more

beautifully than I, and

that's this person right here.

Kelly, please.

The floor is yours.

Thank you.

Hi, everybody.

I'm Kelly Coates.

I was the woman who was hired to

do due diligence for your team

and then was subsequently

fired for missing the boat.

I get that.

But I want to tell

you that in the time

I tried to find everything that

was wrong about this company,

I actually found everything

that was right about it.

I spent the better

part of the week

with the top management

at Crandall Cruises,

and I can tell you that this

team is full of integrity

and full of honor.

Now, they're not perfect.

All right, they make mistakes.

But when they do, they

acknowledge those mistakes,

and they do their best to make

it right for the customer.

So if I was looking

to acquire a company

with that type of culture,

that type of tradition,

I would gladly step aboard.

Thank you for your time.

That was awesome.

Thank you, Kelly.

Guys, this is your time

for questions.

If there are no questions,

it is time to bring

out the old quill and ink.

You could sign.

I object.

I object.

You can't object.

This isn't a courtroom.

Well, then I rescind

my offer to sell.

Are you serious?

Yeah, just... just trust me.

I hope you have all

enjoyed your week

here on the Mediterranean

courtesy

of this fabulous cruise line.

But after careful

consideration, I've

changed my mind about the

direction we're sailing here.

You know, being

on the water this past week

has reminded me why I

got into this business

in the first place, and that's

to bring people together.

Greg and Judy know

what I'm talking about.

Anyway.

So my partner and I, we are

open to investment to expand

our empire on the open sea.

But we will be retaining

our controlling

ownership in Crandall Cruises.

No further questions,

Your Honor.

Again, this isn't a courtroom.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

So you left a lot of money

on the table back there.

Are you having any

seller's remorse?

Honestly, no.

I meant everything

I said in there.

Plus, I'm far too

young to retire anyway.

I'm just glad you realize

how good a team you have.

Parker is the best

there is, of course.

And I think hiring Kelly

is going to really increase

your consumer experience.

Yeah.

Now all I need to do is

just hire a new partner

for business relations.

I mean, I know someone

looking for a job.

You have yourself a deal.

Oops.

Uh, forgot to let go.

Oopsies.

I'll send a memo to HR

when we get back.

You better.

I am officially blown away.

I mean, I've never seen Adam beg

anybody that hard to work for.

I mean, you really

impressed him.

Well, you're

glowing. recommendation

didn't hurt either.

So is it a little awkward

that I'm your boss now?

Technically, I'm

just a consultant.

So you're not my boss at all.

It's true.

It's true.

Is it awkward that you have

A calculated risk.
