FRAMED!
THE NIGHT BEFORE
Here we are again, because crime never sleeps.
Tomorrow I'm retiring,
and I wanna introduce you to the man who's gonna replace me.
The young inspector Jackson.
What's up, man? Giovanni, how are you?
My God, you're actually going out?
No, Giovanni, I'm not home right now, and you shouldn't have told me.
No, I'm actually at a party, Giovanni. I'm seriously having a great time.
We're drinking, behaving badly...
Yeah, it's a lot.
No, it's only quiet because I took the call outside.
Sure, Giovanni. Sure thing.
Here. Here. Can you hear it now?
See? It's way too loud to talk in here.
You all have to keep it down, all right? I'm talking to my friend Giovanni.
Ah, maybe another time.
Okay, I got you. Great, Giovanni. Great.
Ciao. Ciao.
Megan.
Oh, my love.
Now that you've been promoted, you will very busy,
but even if you will not pay me the right attention
and you will neglect me, I will never betray you,
because I love you, little pie.
My little pie.
- Someone's excited. - Yeah.
Well, I think I've spent enough years without being with you.
Slow down.
Here.
So, welcome to my son's room.
Beautiful.
It's hard to move to a new city.
To help him adjust,
I decided to send him to school with some of my colleagues' children.
And, you know, then I can see if he's studying
or I can see what he's up to when he gets out of school
and who he's trying to hang out...
Agata, my love.
You have to give the kid some space, yeah? You know?
Excuse me.
No worries.
Mama, what is it?
Oh, nothing.
It's so late and you haven't come back or called,
so I had to make sure you're okay.
Uh, Mama, please. Please. Just...
Where the hell are you at this hour?
I'm spending time with Agata.
Oh. Hm. Say hi for me.
Mama says hi.
She's waving now. So sweet.
Yeah, yeah.
So anyway, I really think you should come over for dinner tomorrow.
If you want, you can bring Agata.
Your sister will be there too.
She needs a fun distraction so she can get her mind off that loser.
Uh, no, I don't think I'll be able to.
I'm meeting Robertino, Agata's son. Remember? I told you.
And she's cooking dinner and everything. I can't just miss it.
That's okay. Another night then.
Uh... excuse me for interrupting.
No, Mam...
Sounds good, Mama.
Yes, of course I'll be sure to say goodbye to her.
Love you too. Ciao. Ciao, Mama.
Ciao. Ciao.
She's too good.
I'm sure she really likes you.
Yoo-hoo! Hey, you're taking forever.
Oh! What are you rushing me for, huh?
One more minute.
One more minute? We have to go to work.
I can't just wait here all day.
I don't get how you can stand living here. You're like a lone wolf.
ELECTRIC APPLIANCES
Maybe I prefer to live in solitude, huh?
Now that I'm single, it's like I'm a brand-new person.
It's all because I'm eating meat again.
Now I've got a good complexion, huh?
Don't I seem better?
Eh, guess so.
Me? Lonely? Ugh! Seriously, bro.
You'd kill to go out with as many women as I do, huh?
That's why you're not working as hard lately.
Ah. Oh, you know! Last night is an example.
That party ran late. I got back around... five,
and I still got an amazing night of sleep in, huh?
Believe me, I'm all rested.
Don't exaggerate things, or you'll end up overdoing it.
Oh, please, let me be honest with you then.
All that your sister did by cheating on me with that guy,
you know, Tortellone...
I needed it to happen. My life has been fully renewed.
I'm happier now.
You should consider stopping before things get too serious with Agata.
Men are meant to be hunters.
That's built into our nature.
Like these claws here.
They wanna sink into prey.
Like I just said, you're some kind of lone wolf now.
Can you believe this guy?
Riding around like they did 100 years ago. He's gonna get somebody killed.
Just pass him, man. Come on. Go on. Go!
What the...
Say hello to Don Vito Corleone!
Most of us can't help but ask the question.
After everything that's been happening these days,
will we see a new Mafia war?
Either way, the Gambino murder mystery remains unsolved.
Now that I think about it, I couldn't get any sleep the other night
because I kept going over one weird detail in particular.
What's that?
That day, when we went over to Gambino's,
the television was working just fine. I even used it.
- Okay. So... - That's really weird, brother.
The television was perfectly fine, but he still called us.
Could you just spit it out, Salvo?
I don't know, bro. I don't know.
You know, if I'd been the killer,
I'd have made sure that the two of us
go to just the right place
at just the best moment to frame us for it. Yeah?
Salvo, you promised you'd stop with all these scenarios.
If I'd been the killer...
- Killer this, killer that. - Whoa! Slow down!
Come on, man. Let's run. Let's go now. No one saw.
We'll erase all the evidence at home, I swear,
like they did in the prequel to The Touch of the Killer.
Prequel?
The Look of the Killer.
My God, Salvo. Make sense of the situation for once, okay?
On this one, we're following my lead.
Padre Santissimo!
- Get off him! - Yes.
Move away!
Padre Santissimo! I'm so...
Listen to me, Padre Santissimo.
It's me, Tonino.
No, we... We didn't mean to! We didn't do it on purpose.
Oh God!
You have to know how useless I've been.
I understand that you're a fugitive and you're trying not to be seen,
but you gotta look when you're crossing the street, bro.
- No. - Sleep tight.
Pray you'll see each other in heaven.
No!
Lift him up! Get him in the van. Hurry!
- Okay. - Yes, yes.
Do it faster! Come on! Quickly!
Right now!
Shut up! Come on! Quickly!
Quickly! Move faster!
- On your feet! Now! Move faster! - We got him. Okay.
Okay, he's all set.
Now, don't play any games.
Let's get going. Go.
I hope you're still praying.
Remember, no mercy from Tonino.
- So what's the plan? - No plan.
At least we have to try to get away from him, don't we?
So that he can shoot us?
I'll need your cell phones.
- Sure. - Sure thing.
Turn them off!
- Oh yeah. - Sure. I just...
- Here it is. Here you go. - There you go.
See? If you'd just left him on the ground,
we wouldn't be in this giant mess. We'd be free.
Shut up! I told you to shut up!
What do you think he's gonna do to us?
Offer a nice meal.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Get out.
Come on!
- What's happening? Where are we going? - Over there! Walk!
Come on. Come on. Keep walking.
Walk!
Stop right there.
On your knees.
Why, God? Why me?!
No, please. Wait.
It's because of you that my life is at risk now.
You and your stupid television murder shows.
- Zip it! - I beg you!
Please, take it all out on me.
Please spare my mama's life. She doesn't deserve to die.
Leave Ester alone too. She's got nothing to do with it either.
The life I dreamed of with Ester, that I wanted with her,
that I could... I could still have, that I might still be able to maybe...
That's it!
I've heard enough!
We beg you, Tonino! Don't do this! We're desperate!
Quiet! No one on earth or above can help you.
Not while I'm here.
No!
Padre Santissimo!
Ah! Padre Santissimo!
Okay, come on! Come on!
For the love of God, not like this!
Padre Santissimo!
Stop! Padre Santissimo!
Padre Santissimo, you have to...
Padre Santissimo!
Ah, Padre Santissimo!
Please stop!
Mr. Useless Thing, sir. See, you forgot to put the brake on the car.
You're still gonna die here.
Hold on, Tonino.
We can help you. We can't do that if you kill us.
We could really be of great service.
It's clear you need us. See? See?
If Valentino hadn't pulled the brake for you,
Padre Santissimo would be gone, yeah?
Exactly. I don't like to toot my own horn usually, but it's true.
We can be like tools for you, huh?
For example... For example,
uh, did even think where you would hide Padre Santissimo?
Huh? Huh?
Sure, it's...
But... I did!
I promise my place is perfect.
Safe and secure.
And far away from prying eyes.
If I find out you're lying to me,
then you're dead.
There's no way you'd be lying to him about that.
No, it's not in my nature.
There isn't anywhere else besides your house that we could take him?
You wanna take him to your place instead? Huh?
I'm buying time, you know?
Hey! Care to share what you're talking about?
Please speak up, you idiots!
Very well, Tonino!
The number you've dialed is turned off or out of reach.
Please try again later or press one for more options. Pr...
No! The police.
Man!
If you say anything to them about me,
then you'll be finished just like that.
There's no way they will pull us over.
POLICE
Remember that I am not afraid to risk everything, okay?
Good afternoon.
- How are you? - Hi there.
Sir, please present your identification for me.
Yeah.
I'm curious how you got that crack.
- Uh... - Uh, a bird hit us.
- Yeah. - Can you believe it? Mm.
Carrying anything with you?
Uh, well...
Of course we are.
Uh, well, um, satellite dishes,
uh, some old electronics,
and, uh, fiber cables to use, uh...
A whole bunch of useless things.
Okay, can we see for ourselves?
Mm, yeah. Sure thing.
It's, uh... It's your right. I mean...
In fact, I think it's a service, honestly.
Perhaps someone transports things illegally in our car. Yeah?
Exactly that.
You're just checking.
Thank... Thank you. Thanks.
Go on. Open.
Um, paperwork seems to look in order to me. Good.
Check it again.
Actually, did I tell you he's Ms. Scalia's fiancé?
Really?
These are the two men who repair TVs.
Ah, so that means if, uh... if he's Scalia's fiancé,
you must be... you're the one and only Tortellini.
- Yeah? - Yes, you are Tortellini.
- Uh... - See? It's Tortellini.
- Watch this. Watch this. - Yeah.
- Tortellini? - That's me.
- See? - Would you believe it's Tortellini?
- Yeah. - Hey!
I was distracted and I was...
- See now, would you, uh... - Yeah.
My one and only request to the fiancé of Ms. Scalia...
- Yes. - Yep.
If it's not too much, uh, trouble for you...
- Yeah. - Sure thing. That's just who he is.
I've just requested to be relocated to Milan,
and so far there haven't been any updates for me.
So do you think you could let her know?
Uh, you're from Milan?
No, but I know that over there they don't have the Mafia.
Well, they have the 'Ndrangheta.
Well, at least it'd be better, though.
- Oh, sure. Of course. - I get it.
- It's always the worst for you. - A change, yeah.
No, I definitely see that.
- There you are. - Thank you.
- Have a good day, yeah? - So we can go then?
- I think we can go. - Yes, we can.
- We're, uh, on our way. - Thank you.
- Have a nice day. - Good luck with everything.
Goodbye.
This place was given to me by my grandpa.
When I broke up with Ester, I decided to come and live here.
Be careful with me now, got it?
'Cause if you even think of pulling a fast one on me,
you'll be dead.
And if you even try to call the police here, then you'll be dead.
Padre Santissimo passes,
you'll be dead.
And what if Padre Santissimo lives but is still hurt?
You'll be dead.
So if someone else wants to call the police...
Murdered.
Now get Padre Santissimo and take him inside.
So if he dies while we do that...
My God, you actually live in this dump?
Hey, man, there was a party last night.
But you told me you went out last night.
So, we came back after to keep partying.
Anyway, we have to find a doctor.
You'll find him at the central hospital.
And you'll look for someone, a doctor named Tantillo.
Cosa Nostra.
Get him and bring him here.
And make sure that no one sees you.
- Okay. - I'll go with him.
No!
You stay here,
'cause if your friend tries anything fishy,
like going to the police,
you're dead.
I'm giving you two hours.
All right, then. I'll be back by two.
No!
Back by 1:55.
Yeah.
I'm begging you, Salvo. Be back real quick.
You.
All this shit is offending me.
Get a bag and clean it up.
Move it!
CENTRAL HOSPITAL
It's an absolute disgrace!
Italy is getting worse and worse by the hour.
That's because we're getting worse too, huh?
Thank you. Thank you.
Where is Tantillo?
Excuse me. Where is Dr. Tantillo?
- I don't know. - Ugh.
Excuse me. Are you Dr. Tantillo?
No. Dr. Tantillo had to handle an urgent matter in a different clinic.
Can you tell me the name?
PAY HERE PRIVATE CLINIC
- Excuse me! Where can I find Dr. Tantillo? - I'm sorry. He's in the operating room.
- Ugh. Okay, bye. - Hey, what the hell?
Excuse me.
Dr. Tantillo. You have to come with me. I need your help immediately.
The doctor just left for home with a head cold.
Put your face masks on.
- Ah, sorry. - Sorry.
Look. You didn't hear this from me, okay?
But if I were you, I'd look for him at the tennis club.
It's his favorite spot.
Okay. Okay. Best of luck. Goodbye. Sorry!
Dr. Tantillo!
Oh, I'm sorry. Dr. Tantillo left already.
Now where did he go?
Who is Tantillo?
Excuse me.
Pardon. Please come with me, right now. Huh?
Excuse me, Tonino?
Can you remind me what you meant by two hours?
Like, surely it's not precise or anything like that, is it?
You always have to allow for some leeway.
Let me see you recycle that.
Remember, plastic goes with plastic.
I can't believe you would poison our only Earth.
Huh.
The phone number you have dialed is turned off or out of reach.
Again?
My volleyball tournament is going to start in two hours, you should know.
Please, sir, don't you understand that my friend's in grave danger, huh?
No, please not right now.
Well, why would they ask us to stop?
STATE POLICE
So, did you know that I'm the fiancé of Commissioner Scalia?
Tonino.
Uh, it's not like we're in Milan where people make precise appointments.
In Sicily, if you make an appointment, let's say, uh...
Let's say 1:55, see?
You could be looking at anytime between 1:00 and 4:00, even 4:30.
So, tell me what you would do after you wash the dishes?
Well, do you know?
Now I'm going to put it away.
But you have to make sure to dry them or they'll all be stained.
When's the last time you did this?
My mama would always do this kind of thing for me.
So because I do my dishes on my own and enjoy it...
...you're calling me feminine?
No, Tonino.
No, of course not. That's not what I was saying here.
You have to know, I collect selfies with the rich and famous.
Well, I'm not rich, but...
Yeah, I love it.
You know, my room at home has a wall that's filled with so many pictures.
- Then this must be destiny, huh? - You said it.
I said it.
Take care.
Thank you. All right.
It's been off since this morning, and he never ignores me like this.
It's awful.
Mm, maybe he's working, and he turned it off for a while.
Ester, but he would never.
Darling, don't worry.
Why don't you calm down and I'll reach out to you if he calls me?
Sorry, I have to drop off now.
Sure thing. Sorry.
Tonino?
Let me know when you've changed the mop water.
That way I'll know you're cleaning and not just moving all the dirt around the floor.
Oh, enough's enough!
Tell me why you won't just kill me right here and now, Tonino?
Because I know that's what you wanted all along.
And only then will you be satisfied, I bet!
No!
FRAMED!
