[cunning music playing]
Sorry.
Sh! It's starting now.
Under the pretext of comforting the inmates' souls,
Pio and Camilla will enter the prison.
To guarantee the success of Primo Sale's escape plan,
it is crucial that on that day
we have the cooperation of the guard who is on duty.
You can enter.
Thank you.
[Salvo laughs]
No one will suspect us in the car, waiting.
We're much too close.
The two guards might get suspicious.
[Salvo] No, Tonino.
And why would they get suspicious?
Now don't panic, Pio. It will all be all right.
I say those two idiots will fucking freak out. I'm sure about it.
And then they'll report us.
Pardon me for a second, officer.
I have a confession to give you.
[Filoncino] If they betray us
and then we get arrested,
my wife will be all alone in our bakery.
But they won't betray us, because we will make them think
that our lives are in their hands and we're totally depending on them.
You agree, Tonino?
[Tonino] If you don't do exactly as I say...
[whimpering]
[Tonino] ...these two will die.
Oh no, please, Pio, Camilla! Can't you see that he wants to kill us?
Tonino truly wants to kill us! I swear!
But, my brother, why should we have to swear? There's no need.
[Camila] Fine, we'll do everything you want.
Please don't kill them.
[Camilla, Salvo, and Valentino whimper]
Okay.
[both] Thank you! Thank you!
[chuckles]
[chuckling]
No, nothing.
Just looking for a bathroom, but I think I can hold it.
But he can hold it.
And let's go.
Come on.
[Salvo] It goes without saying
that Primo Sale must be informed of the situation.
And that way, when the day arrives, he's all ready to go.
Go.
Thank you, friends, for this lovely visit of yours.
At this point, completing the plan is like a walk in the park.
[radio static]
"Blessed is he who has committed a sin
and he whose sin is forgiven."
[loudly] Psalm 32:1!
You have a nice day.
- [loudly] Thank you! - Thank you.
- Hey, wait a second now.
I need to see your documents, please, sir.
But no, all the paperwork is under control.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
You can go now.
You guys can stay.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye. Let's go.
- [Valentino] Hey. - See that? Huh?
Let's go. We've come to pick you up with our car, huh? [chuckles]
[Filoncino] Well done. Well done!
[laughing]
Trust me. It's a perfect plan.
Much easier done than said.
[chuckles]
But that's a shitty plan, schmuck.
- Oh. - Uh...
Shoot him, Tonino.
They let me out!
Procedural irregularity! [laughs]
And they freed me because of the statute of limitations!
[Filoncino] Finally!
- Come here! - [laughing]
Just in the nick of time.
[Padre Santissimo] Welcome back!
I can't believe, in Italy, the minute you ponder breaking the law,
the state shuts you down.
- Hey! - [laughing]
You've been missed.
Useless Thing, so are you very excited to see me?
So excited, of cour... co...
[stuttering] Co...
- [stuttering] - [clucking]
[laughing]
The chicken has laid an egg!
[crows]
[laughing]
Of course.
FRAMED!
[theme music playing]
[snarls]
[clattering]
[Filoncino] Here's the bread.
Nice and warm.
This is the bread for Padre Santissimo.
It's just for him. It's wholegrain.
I spoke to the doctor. He said it's better for diabetic patients.
Thank you, Filoncino.
Mrs. Antonietta.
Say, your cooking is excellent.
Thank you.
I learned everything I know from my mama.
Ah, nowadays, young women can't do much of anything.
[chuckles] For instance, Agata.
My son has a crush on her, but he really deserves so much better.
I would really like to see her cuisine.
My guess is that this woman can't even cook an egg. Am I right?
Also, we're speaking of a woman who is separated
and with a young one.
If her husband left her, there must be a reason.
Yes, right.
[chuckles]
But if you will permit me,
your son is a very spoiled brat.
I know.
And the truth
is that children
never can appreciate the true value of their mothers,
until the Lord calls them to his side.
[sighs]
And you? You still have your mama?
She is gone.
Tonino,
is it possible to use the phone?
Mrs. Antonietta, how often do I have to remind you
that you may only make a call to your daughter?
Don't put me in a difficult spot.
How often must I say?
I think the battery's dead anyway. I'll plug it in.
Otherwise, I won't be able to call her either.
Very well.
And he says
that in 48 hours, we have to give him
the numbers of the bank accounts inside the computer of Gambino,
because, you know, these things,
"tolkin..." "turken..." uh...
- Token. - Bravo.
Without the current accounts, there's no deal.
And you know, without the "tirken..."
"taken..." uh, "terken..."
Token.
Bravo.
The computer of Gambino will give us absolutely nothing!
Bastard!
So he fucks us with the dough.
He says that he just wants to keep half
and that he'd leave the rest to us.
[sighs]
Under the circumstances, we have no choice but to trust him.
Unless
you
can find this miserable, cheating coward
and then you make him regret his life.
Consider it done.
But those two cretins? What are we going to do?
They're no use to us.
Padre Santissimo, may I please kill them?
[Padre Santissimo] If we kill them, the police will search
every nook and cranny throughout all of Sicily,
and we won't be able to move around.
Let them do whatever.
They can run all over the place.
Let them spy on that cop.
Who knows? They might even bring us something good.
Then, once we've finally captured our man,
only you will have the pleasure
of murder.
Look forward to it.
[slurping]
Hey, food's ready!
[bird cawing]
Come on out.
You can eat as well.
Okay.
Padre Santissimo,
take this pill for your diabetes.
Hm.
Compliments, Holy Father. This sauce is extraordinary.
And this basil's incredible. Such a wonderful smell.
Your cooking is superb.
Well, actually, the sauce was made by me.
[curious music playing]
[Padre Santissimo groans]
I'm disappointed it was not possible to make my ricotta cake.
[Valentino] I know this will end badly. We're just wasting our time.
The sooner they kill us, the sooner we'll forget about all this.
- Oh, are you listening? - Huh?
- I know what's on your mind. - What are you saying?
You've been thinking about my sister, right?
- Ah. - Even Robertino thinks so.
I'm just sorry that she
could imagine I would seek the company of another woman.
But there's nothing to be done here.
Salvo,
after all, Ester confessed that she went out once with Gambino.
Just only that one time.
Come on. It was just once.
Oh, I know. I know.
Call her.
Let bygones be bygones.
The two of you want the same thing.
But not now.
It's impossible to call, because I'd put her in danger.
Let's wait
till this is all over.
What about you and Agata? Things okay?
Pretty terrible.
POLICE
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
[brakes squeak]
[Agata] It's the first time this has happened to me.
No, you are just making the best of the situation here.
Yes.
Oh, no, it's not possible to always have an excuse. Always.
No. No, listen to me.
Excuse me. Commissioner, are you finished?
Yes, thanks. I photocopied it all.
[phone rings]
No. No, see, once it was the floor, then the ceiling.
STATE POLICE GAMBINO'S CASE
You've renovated the whole house. What are we supposed to do?
Speaking.
Uh-huh.
Yes, I'm here.
And your total lack of professionalism is enviable.
I truly don't know what else to tell you, madam. Really.
Hm.
Yes, ma'am
Okay, but we'll talk about it later, hm?
[door closes]
Have a very nice day.
Ciao, Agata.
Excuse me, but the babysitter for Robertino
won't be at work again today because her house is flooded.
We came by, and I particularly wanted to say you've been on my mind.
Thank you.
You're welcome. You?
I was listening to the old wiretap recordings of Gambino,
when he was still in Milan.
Salvo, uh, please don't touch.
Those devices are sophisticated.
Even if they aren't sophisticated, Salvo, please don't touch, huh?
[Gambino] I miss you so much, Ester.
I miss you like the stars miss the night.
[Ester] I miss you too, Tortellone!
[Gambino] I will never forget the incredible weekend
we spent alone together.
It was a weekend full of magical moments.
I miss that weekend like night misses day, like winter misses spring,
like Naples FC misses Maradona, like...
[Ester] Your words are so beautiful!
- You knew about it? - No. No, Salvo.
Believe me. I have never heard that phone call before.
Sorry, why would I be interested in private calls?
I'm not.
Plus, Gambino is so manly.
He had multiple lovers. Should I have listened to all of them? No.
Manly?
Yes, Salvo.
And so well-spoken.
Yeah.
[huffing]
No, Salvo, don't do that.
- Salvo! - I'll take care of it.
Don't... Don't worry, my love. I'll call you. Ciao. Ciao.
Salvo!
[door closes]
I don't understand.
You were willing to forgive her only two hours ago.
What changed your mind so suddenly?
What changed is she lied to me.
She told me she'd been with him only once, at his house.
Now it turns out there was another weekend.
Once or twice, what difference does it make, Salvo?
The affair happened in the past.
There's no statute of limitations for cheating. It's retroactive.
And she lied to me.
- And a couple has to be honest, totally. - Ah, exactly.
You're making me lie to Agata. See how cold she is with me?
But what are you saying? She's not cold because you're lying to her.
It's because she's waiting for you to pack it up and go and live with her.
- In due time, okay? In due time. - [groans]
I would just like to know which weekend it was they spent together.
Which? I almost never leave the house.
Even if you knew, what difference would it make?
Mama?
- Okay, and now she's gonna tell me. - [Valentino] No!
- [Salvo chuckles] - [Ester] Are you here?
Have you come back?
- Sh, quiet. - All right.
- Just stay here now. - Fine! Go. Go!
Mama?
Vale, well, I didn't know you were here, or I would've buzzed.
Come on. Don't say that. It's your home too.
- Is Mama in the kitchen? - No! Not in the kitchen.
Actually no one is in the kitchen, so no need for you to go in there. Uh...
Mama was here just five minutes ago, and she...
Then she left in a hurry,
because she wanted to see a friend. Maybe it was... Graziella.
Yes, she went out to see Graziella.
I'm pretty sure she wouldn't go visit Mrs. Graziella,
because they've never been friendly.
And why has she kept her phone off since this morning?
Well, sometimes people switch off their phones.
There could be a problem with the battery. Uh...
Maybe it's not charging. You never know? Uh, there could be many reasons.
- It's still shut off. - Oh, well...
And this is makes no sense, Vale.
I have the feeling she's holding something from us.
- What are you saying? - [Ester] This is not okay.
If I was leaving, I would tell Salvo where I was going.
And even if it was only for ten minutes.
Listen. I have an idea.
- We should call Mrs Graziella directly. - No.
- [Ester] I wanna check if Mama's there. - No, don't. You can't call Mrs. Graziella.
- [Ester] Where's Mama's phone book? - I don't know.
I didn't even know that she owned a phone book.
[mouthing]
[Ester] There it is!
For the life of me, I can't remember Mrs. Graziella's last name.
Vale, do you know it?
Honestly, I don't, Ester.
Yeah, you know. The woman with the pretty little house out of town.
You always used to go with Salvo and me when we were in school.
Give me a second. I just need to go to the bathroom.
Oh, thanks.
Uh, if Ester finds the number for Graziella, we are finished!
Okay, you take some time. I'll run to Graziella's.
- And what are you gonna do there? - I don't know! I'll improv.
Oh! But wait! You find out all the details
of what that weekend was she spent with Gambino.
- In this moment? Go! Go! - Okay. Yeah, yeah, I'm going.
And so? How goes it? Did you find anything?
Nothing. Nothing.
I can't think of her name. But are you sure you don't recall it?
Not one bit. I swear.
Massive amnesia.
Listen. Uh, with Salvo, things okay?
[Ester] Don't ask. I'm furious.
Not only was he a no-show at the appointment that Agata arranged,
but when I went to visit at the farmhouse, I'm sure that he had company.
And I bet I know who she was.
- Who? - Elena, the supermarket cashier!
He had an affair with her while he was still with me,
and you covered up for him.
I never covered for anyone, Ester.
[suspenseful action music playing]
And by the way, if Salvo had another woman, I would know.
If anything, I'm worried about him.
I don't recognize him anymore.
- In what sense? - The thing is, he's pretty sad.
And he is.
He's really just a very pitiful soul, you know?
I mean, okay, every now and then he smiles.
- [Ester] Mm. - But then he's suddenly sad again.
Yes.
Nothing but sighs.
Uh, he's always peering out the window. Who knows why?
He gets so emotional at the sight of a nice panorama.
And you wouldn't expect this from Salvo, Ester.
I'd really like to know why.
It could be something inside him, you know? I don't know.
Who knows?
Hm.
[suspenseful action music playing]
But anyway, Salvo,
he's not upset over me, but over the cashier girl.
[sighs] You're fixated with this cashier person!
No, I'm not fixated, but you cover up, you know?
I'm not covering for anyone.
All I wanna know is if you still care for Salvo.
Listen, don't panic for me and Salvo.
Why don't you take your things and go live with Agata?
[somber music playing]
But wait. Did Agata talk to you?
Well, if you have another woman, like your best friend, then say it now.
And maybe have a little bit more dignity.
No, Ester, you know...
I don't see anyone else. Only Agata.
Agata is such a good person.
But even goodness cannot be unlimited.
[tires squeal]
[mysterious music playing]
Hey, I found her name.
Miccichè. Graziella Miccichè.
[phone ringing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[line ringing]
No one's picking up.
Oh well, forget it, then. Don't insist. Leave it. Come on. Hang up.
Hello?
Morning, I'm Ester, the daughter of Mrs...
[line beeping]
- Hello? - Hello?
Vale, who was that on the phone?
It's all beyond strange.
No. Why would you say that?
We're going to Graziella's house right now because I want to know what's going on.
Where are you going, Ester? Don't go to Mrs. Graziella's house.
Are you... Ester! Ester!
["The Touch of the Killer" ringtone playing]
- What is it? - Good morning, Doctor.
What doctor?
Listen, I wanted to tell you that I'm going to be late for my check-up today
because I'm going now to see a friend of my mama's,
a Mrs. Graziella.
I repeat, Doctor, Graziella.
And I'm on my way to Mrs. Graziella's house right now.
I'm going now!
And it's me and my sister.
I repeat, it's me and my sister!
[phone beeps]
[suspenseful music swells]
Ester! Hey!
- [doorbell rings] - [Valentino] Ester.
Mrs. Graziella?
What are you doing, Ester?
But why isn't anyone answering?
Because obviously no one's at home now, Ester.
And we must go! Come on now!
- Mrs. Graziella! - [Valentino] Don't shout.
- You'll disturb the neighbors. - [Ester] Mrs. Graziella!
If you try to play any tricks, you're dead.
If you try to run away, you're dead.
If I see any police, you're dead.
If you make a noise while dying, you're dead!
And I got a lot more,
so watch it.
Don't worry, please. What are you doing now?
I'll call Agata. Maybe she has some advice.
What advise can Agata give? Please, can we just go, Ester?
- The murders occurred in the same area. - [phone buzzing]
[man] Except the murder of Gambino and the two bricklayers.
All of the murders downtown...
Pick up, please. Come on.
Tonino, go check and see if the fuse is blown,
because the fridge is off.
[Valentino] What now?
I'm trying to look up the number for the police station.
It's probably unlisted.
- I found it, here. - [sighs]
- Hey! I saw you! I saw you! - [both whimper]
Good morning. Police.
Uh, please, I need to speak right away with Commissioner Scalia.
It's her sister-in-law calling.
[phone chiming]
[gasps] My daughter.
My daughter's been calling.
[phone ringing]
- Scalia. - Commissioner, there's a call for you.
- It's your sister-in-law. - Sure, put her through.
I'll put her through now.
- [Ester] Hello? - Hi, Ester. Talk to me.
Agata, hi.
- Listen. Sorry to bother you. I... - [phone beeps]
Hold on. Hold on. My mother is trying to call me. I'll call you back.
It's not urgent. I'll call you In a bit. Thanks a lot.
- Mama. - Ester.
- I've been worried, you know? - But why are you so angry?
Are you kidding?
And all morning your phone's been off.
We're at Graziella's house looking for you,
but nobody's here.
Ah, you're there?
Oh, well, no one is there because... because it means they're out, then.
- [Ester] What about the phone? - Hey, come on now.
I just forgot to switch it on. You know, happens a lot.
- Ciao. Ciao. Ciao. - [phone beeps]
- [Valentino] Huh. - She hung up.
It's normal. She was done speaking. [chuckles]
Vale, I'm now convinced that Mama is not telling us everything.
Would you stop? Let's go. I'm expected at the doctor's.
[Ester] Hurry up. Get in the car.
[suspenseful music playing]
I told you everything is fine.
[screams]
[panting]
Sorry, but we hear such awful things on television.
We have to defend ourselves.
Please give them back to me. Those pajamas are a relic.
Certain pajamas are better off forgotten.
Ah. And also forget about me,
because I will surely never forget you.
[vehicle approaching]
Anyway, I'm sure that to spend the weekend with Gambino,
your sister had to drug me.
- Still thinking about that? - It's because I ponder things.
Hi there.
We brought the groceries, just like you guys asked us to.
And pajamas for Tonino, as requested.
But didn't they have other colors?
Uh, that's all they had.
Other colors?
Well? Have you got any news?
- Oh, yeah. - Okay.
Sorry, you know how when you're in a rush, you forget all the important things.
Uh, not much to say, but we did find this.
- Maybe there's something new in here. - Show me. Come on.
Jennifer, tell Smith to come in.
[dramatic music playing]
And you too.
[doorbell rings]
Hi there.
Tell us.
My name is Ugo.
Your mother hasn't responded to my calls for days,
and I'm getting very worried.
I go pray for my Ricottina.
Ricottina?
[laughs]
For how long has your secret story been going on?
How did you manage to keep it from me all this time?
Well...
[mysterious music playing]
[whispering] Come here.
[whispering] I need you to go out and do an errand for me.
It's very important.
[woman] Good evening.
If you want, there's a special offer on eggs.
Buy one and you get one free.
Elena.
Ciao, Salvo.
So am I still the cashier you prefer, huh?
Vale,
is there anything wrong?
Agata.
I know where to find Padre Santissimo.
[upbeat action music playing]
FRAMED!
[lively theme music playing]
