Ah...
Eh?
Where is it, where is it, where is it?
Pauline, Pauline.
Here it is. Look at this.
I love the outfit.
Oh, this was California.
It was 1960... I don't know.
Little Paul was a baby,
and I was literally out front,
uh, pumping gas and cleaning windshields.
You look happy.
Oh. Oh, we were. We were.
Broke but... happy.
Then this shows up out of the blue from the old man.
"Dear Paul, I was pleased to hear from George
"that you are working hard pumping gas for Getty Oil.
"What better place to learn about the oil industry
"than from the customers themselves?
"It's time you were promoted.
"Come to Italy. It's time we met.
Your loving father."
"Your loving father."

Oh.
Well, at least I won't have to pick him out of a crowd.
I don't even know if I could recognize him.
- It's been so long. - Your own father?
Oh, it's been 15 years.
- He's not like your father. - Paul.
Hi, uh... Dad.
Hmm. You may call me Paul.
Gail, I presume.
Yes. Lovely to meet you.
Why didn't you tell me your wife was so pretty?
Oh, well, I...
I trust the flight was satisfactory.
Oh, it was amazing.
- Thank you. - Are you my granddad?
- Yes. - Well, how do you do?
Now, how do you do?
- I'm Paul. - I'm Paul, too.
I know, silly.
Ah.
Don't you have a nanny?
- Oh, no, no. We can't, uh... - Come here.
- We can't afford one. - Sweetie.
Really?
- Come on, Ma. - Paul.
Hey, can't you keep him quiet?
He's tired, hungry and bored. So am I.
Gail, this is important.
I know.
Does Renaissance art
not interest our young visitor?
Oh. I'm sorry.
He's not usually so, um...
It's just that it's his dinnertime.
Well, it's really his bedtime.
Oh, the Italians eat late,
pay late, they do everything late...
but they sure can paint.
Paul, let me show you something.
Do you know what a hammer is?
Yes.
- And do you know what a nail is? - Yes.
Well, that, young man,
is all you need to know about crucifixion.
Now, these fellas here
have decided that this old man with the beard,
Peter, shouldn't believe
in the things that he believes in,
so they took a hammer and some nails
and they banged them straight through his hands
and his feet to that piece of wood there.
Bang, bang, bang. See?
And then they stuck that piece of wood up in the air
and left him hanging there until he was dead.
What do you think of that?
Do you want to know what happened
to this poor fella here?
It was perfectly unpleasant.
- Herod was having dinner... - Well, maybe another time.
Yes, yes.
We will go and have our own dinner,
and I will show you a rabbit.
Look out for the bird, little rabbit.
Look out for the bird.
Oh. Did you see the bird?
No.
Strange.
Neither do I.
A bird!
What do you say?
Watch out for the bird, little rabbit.
Watch out for the bird.
What bird?
Oh, look, now, someone else
has come to see you.
The sandman.
He's come to say good night.
Watch him closely.
Count to three.
One... two...
three.
How did you do that?
I like him.
I don't care for children,
but him I like.
Put him to bed, will you?
We have business to discuss.
Yes. Of course.
You have an appetite. I can see that.
- An appetite? - Mm-hmm.
I saw you looking at that waitress back there.
Oh, I'm a happily married man, sir.
Probably true but irrelevant.
Drink. Food. Sex. Appetite.
You need that to succeed.
And then there's money, of course.
You have an appetite for that, too?
Well, we could certainly use a bit more. That's for sure.
Don't play the self-effacing lapdog with me.
There's millions in the trust.
Hundreds of millions and you know it.
Is that your appetite?
Yeah, looks like it, doesn't it?
But you can only drive one car at a time.
You can only live in one house at a time.
No.
What money gives you is power...
and that...
is the real ache in the balls, young man.
Power.
A bit of it makes you want a lot of it,
and a lot of it makes you want all of it.
You want some?
Well?
Jesus.
It's a promotion, all right.
So, why does it look like you've just been fired?
Because it's in Saudi Arabia.
- Oh. - Yeah. Oh.
He wants me to run the whole setup down there.
The whole goddamn thing.
It's a huge job. It's massive.
He's showing his faith in you.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- He likes you. - Yeah?
He likes you, too, the old goat.
Actually, I, I saw him looking down my cleavage.
- No. - Yeah.
Jesus, those eyes.
It's only a couple of years, right?
And then we'll be transferred
- back to the States. - Yeah.
I'm in if you are.
Thank you.
Well, drink up.
Because all we're gonna be getting in Saudi
is some potato hooch
that we buy off a Bedouin.
And I hope you're happy wearing a veil.
Because that is all you're going to be wearing.
Don't be stupid.
God, it's amazing...
the shadow puppets.
He never did that with me.
He never did anything.
Poor baby.
Granddad!
Well, well, well.
Archaeologists have combed here,
and you find this.
Two and a half thousand years
it's been waiting for you to find it.
You're gonna go far, young man.
May I have this? No, you want it back.
All right, you can have it back.
You just have to tell me
which hand it's in, okay?
Wrong.
Ah...
We went all over, the four of us.
Like a... like a proper family.
You know, blue skies, laughter...
The wine was cold, the sun hot.
My wife... this beautiful, flame-haired angel...
my son, my father. He-he liked me.
Jesus Christ, he liked me.
Just for a while, for a while...
we were happy.
Where are the children, ma'am?
- They're at La Fuserna. - Oh.
I thought it should just be the two of us
when he... you know... is back.
Um, it's gonna be his birthday.
Hmm.
Isn't that, um...?
It is going to happen, isn't it, Chace?
Everything's on schedule. Contracts are drawn up.
Money's being counted.
Um, there are a few loose ends to tie up
that'll make him look pretty,
and other than that, we're good to go.
And Paul, he's met with the old man?
I believe that's an ongoing situation.
You know they don't get on.
Well, to my understanding, it's just business now.
They're not normal, Chace... the Gettys.
It's okay, he's your boss. I know you can't say.
They seem normal human beings,
but there's a slice of pure animal in the old man.
- Animal? - Yeah, you know, that thing
that the rest of humanity holds onto for dear life?
Love, compassion, care, kindness...
whatever you want to call it.
There is a...
a-a switch
in him that clicks.
And it's gone.
- You know how to swim? - No.
- Well, it's important. - Will you teach me?
You don't want me to teach you.
I do.
I suggest not.
Yes.
If you insist.
Hey!
What the hell?
- Paul, get him! - No, wait. Leave him.
Paul! Paul!
The water's pretty cold.
Winter's coming, I guess.
Here.
- For me? - For you.
Thanks.
You are going home.
Really?
Yeah?
How could you do that?
What if he drowned?
I don't do "what if."
He didn't, and now he can swim.
Hey. Jesus.
What's the matter with him?
Saudi's not much of a place, you know.
No, but, hey, all part of learning the ropes.
Right? And I do appreciate you
putting your trust in me, sir.
It's not like Italy.
A lot of sand.
Ceremony.
Not much sex.
You-you okay?
We... We-we could...
We could... we could what?
W-We could...
- What? - We could send Gordon...
in your place.
Well-well, but Gordon, Gordon doesn't know the first thing
- about oil. - I know.
Not a thing.
But what about me? I mean, I, I-I want to work.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You stay in Italy.
Mm. That's what I've been doing here...
buying out Piomboil.
Somebody has to run it.
You.
Me? Really?
Why not?
Gordon.
Buongiorno.
Paul.
Wow.
What a place.
Needs to be taken in hand, Paul.
You know that they take
a two-hour lunch, for God's sakes.
Needs to be trimmed down to its essential.
Squeeze it till it starts turning a profit.
Yes, of course.
You're going to have to let at least
half of those people go.
What, th-them?
Which ones?
Well, you're in charge. You choose.
I'm gonna keep in touch with you.
You'll keep in touch with me?
Yes. I have to go to England.
What, England?
Stop repeating everything I say.
- But... - Yeah, but I will be in touch
with you every evening at 7:45.
Make sure you are available for the call. All right?
I will be.
- It's gonna be fine. - Yeah.
Just choose well.
Well, I'm, uh...
I'm afraid we're gonna have to let you go.
Your position is no longer available.
I'm terribly sorry.
It is impossible!
I'm s... I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
No, that's a bad idea.
All of it? The, the entire proposal?
Why would we expand
at a time of such international uncertainty?
Because the price of oil will go up.
You might care to gamble the family,
silver on that
but I do not.
All right, but don't embark on that by yourself,
for heaven's sakes. You need Enzo on that.
- Get him on it. - But Enzo doesn't work for us anymore.
You let him go?
- Well, I... you... - Enzo is the sharpest mind
in the whole company.
Was.
E-Extraordinary decision.
I...
Now, we sign a five-year contract,
and even if their shipping costs go up, our bill doesn't.
It was a tough negotiation, but Onassis will undercut
any rival carrier by 15%.
Good work, Paul.
Thank you.
But no.
- No? - No. I've decided
not to go forward with that.
I think we should purchase our own tankers.
I mean, why pay someone else to ship our oil
when we can ship it ourselves?
And you decide to tell me this now?
I wanted you to have the opportunity
to make your proposal.
And it's very promising.
It's just not as promising as mine.
It's not an excuse, but I was lonely.
Even with four kids?
Only a man could say that.
Yes, even with four beautiful, beautiful children,
I couldn't have been lonelier.
Huh.
Makes you do stupid things.
Darling, well, you're not even dressed.
We were due there ages ago.
Well, I got to get this right before the old bastard calls.
Well...
Can't it just wait?
This once?
It's gonna be fun.
The-the actors from Roman Invasion are gonna be there.
And, um, you know, they're gonna do some scenes, and...
Why don't you t-take Little Paul? He loves that stuff.
Please?
Paul, honey?
You're my date!
Again.
Grazie.
I like your new boyfriend.
Shut up.
I'm serious, he's definitely looking at you.
No, he isn't.
But even if he was, I'm married.
I thought you and Paul, you know, you had an arrangement.
We do, but...
I've never acted on it.
Well, Paul has.
And, Gail, I mean, where is he?
Where is he, ever?
Ladies.
Tesserarius Lang Jeffries, of the Ninth Legion,
at your service.
Gail.
An honor.
- Are you sick? - No, no.
You're not on top of it.
Any of it.
They tell me you're hardly ever at your desk in the morning.
What's going on?
I'm trying my best, sir.
Do better.
I'm trying,
but every time I do something,
you suggest I do something different.
I have 40 years' business experience.
You expect me to stand by
and watch you make a fool of yourself?
No.
Take the advice from someone who knows.
I hear your marriage is in trouble.
That'll cost you.
You're not focused.
I've talked to Enzo, I'm bringing him back.
Oh, right.
Take some time off, sort yourself out.
How much time?
Wait, wait.
Are you firing me?
Paul, I'm hearing talk about drink and drugs.
But that accounts for the mess we're in around here.
Well, maybe if you'd let me handle a few things myself...
Paul, no one who takes drugs works for me.
You know that... nobody.
We'll talk again when you're better.
Well, we had an arrangement.
It was the '60s, right?
Let it all hang out, baby.
The idea was, we could see other people,
but we'd stay married.
For the kids.
And how'd that work out?
How it always works out, I imagine.
I won't be long, okay?
Sure.
If you look up, the dome
of the church causes an extraordinary effect,
similar to the famous whispering gallery
in St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
If you sit in the center here,
your voice is channeled through this grate down to the crypt,
where both your friends and your enemies
may listen to it.
If we turn our attention to the...
Paul.
He saw us.
So we met in a church.
He's gonna find out soon enough.
Not yet.
When I'm ready.
I want to be with you.
I love you, Gail.
Will you still love me when I have no money?
I won't take a cent from him.
I got a job at Lucia's.
- It pays the rent, but I... - It's...
It's not about the money.
Well, you're clearly not a Getty.
Damn right, there.
I want to be with you, too, Lang,
but this is going to break his little heart.
He'll adjust.
Kids are adaptable.
Paul loves his dad.
That's okay.
I'm not stopping him.
But we need to be together.
You and me.
Like it or not, he's just gonna have to get used to that.
Hi.
Sorry, I bumped into Lang, which I know you saw.
Do you know why this church is famous?
Because it's beautiful?
No?
No.
Why don't you educate me, smart-ass?
The shape of the dome creates an acoustic weirdness,
like a magic trick.
Wow.
If you stand below the grill in the middle,
you can hear people from all over the church.
Wow.
Cool.
Hey.
What are you gonna do with the money?
I don't know.
You're just like my grandfather.
All that money, he doesn't know what to do with it.
No, no, no, no. Big difference.
We are poor.
We will spend it.
Why so long?
Your father.
If my son is kidnapped, I pay the next day.
Everything I have.
Yeah. My, uh...
my dad's tricky.
You know, sick in the head.
- Ah, pazzo. - Pazzo.
He was in love.
Yeah.
With this, uh, beautiful woman.
Not his wife?
No, my mom... she ran off with an idiot,
and my dad fell in love with someone else.
Talitha.
I will be back in a sec.
Can I come?
No, just a quick stop. Five minutes.
Five minutes.
Where have you been?
You said five minutes, like, an hour ago.
Sorry, my fault.
Hi.
I'm Talitha.
Wow.
You're so beautiful.

We need to meet,
sign those papers,
and get that foolish boy released.
Pull!
The other matter?
Well, you may find this unpleasant.
- That's for me to decide, Lansing. - All right.
Investigator's report dated fifth of June.
Patrick de Laszlo, pilot.
Currently residing in Kensington.
He's single, his wife died six years ago.
War hero, Polish Air Force,
decorated after the Battle of Britain, George Cross.
Polish aristocracy from...
How often does Penelope visit him?
Day or night?
Pull!
Well...
Take her out of the will.
Not a single dollar.
No.
One single dollar.
Just one.
And get hold of that useless son of mine.
Paul?
- Paul, it's your father. - No, go away.
- He wants to see you. - No. No, no, no, no, no.
Here.
It's about Little Paul.
He's going to give you the money.
He said that?
Huh. St. Christopher will keep you safe.
Grazie.
Good luck, huh?
Good luck.
Hey. Ow. Fuck.
You often get them to open up after hours?
I have an understanding with the director, Lord Jefferies.
It's actually more of a misunderstanding.
He believes that I'm going to bequeath
my two fragments to the museum.
And you're not?
No, I'm going to give them much more than that.
I've been to Rome.
You've b... You don't travel.
Do you remember Hadrian's Villa?
Yes. Yeah, of course.
- Amazing place. - Well, it's... it's the same.
I found this.
It's just like the one Little Paul found.
Indeed.
Apparently, they're everywhere.
I met with the leader of the Mafia outfit
that is holding your boy.
We did business. Good business.
I agreed, on your behalf,
to a ransom of $5 million payable within a week.
Oh, right. $5 million, well...
that's a good price.
It's considerably less than the asking price.
Still, you do not have the money.
In cash, no. Obviously, no.
So I propose
that you pay the ransom out of the trust.
Agreed?
Really?
- God. Really? - Mm-hmm.
Oh, God, thank you.
Um, we ha... we have a little problem with time,
given your allergy to the telephone.
- I... - Lansing.
Signatures.
Here, here, and here, please.
I'm so glad that we're finally able to...
I can't tell you
how pleased I am, Paul.
Uh... wait.
Wait.
This is a-a loan?
Minimally so, yes.
It has an interest rate
repayable at four percent over base.
- You're lending me the money. - No.
The trust is lending you the money,
and you have a responsibility
- to pay it back. - But it's my money.
No, it's the trust's money.
Money in the trust that belongs to me.
The money in the trust
has been earned entirely by my efforts.
I don't want to get into an argument about semantics...
Semantics? Semantics. You're gonna make a profit
off the kidnapping of your own grandson.
Oh, please. Don't be ridiculous.
You know, you-you can go to a bank
and see what kind of an interest rate you...
Oh, God, I am so stupid.
So stupid.
I mean, I'm-I'm such an idiot.
What are you talking about?
I-I-I thought you were gonna give me something.
I thought you were giving me something.
I mean, all my life, that is what I have wanted,
for you to give me something, anything. I don't care what.
That-that little bit of pottery in your pocket.
It's worthless apparently, everywhere
apparently, but you still had to have it back.
And it's a loan of my money, to me, with interest!
Of course it is!
- Paul, I am trying to help you. - By burying me deeper
and deeper? Well, I will not do it.
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
I will not be buried! I can't do it anymore!
No! No!
No! No! No!
No...
Yes, sir.
I understand.
