Framed! A Sicilian Murder Mystery (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

1
A NETFLIX SERIES
Don't worry about that.
The fact that Gambino was Ester's lover
is the least of our problems, Salvo.
Sit down.
His sweet wife cheats on him every day ♪
When she wants to play
She goes to tortellone ♪
In The Touch of the Killer,
the killer's wife
is the notary's lover.
Shh.
Don't listen to them, Salvo.
Don't listen to them.
We're in deep now. We've got
the gun, the body, and the motive.
They'll think we killed him,
and you even said it yourself
that murders are almost always
committed by relatives
just like in that show
you were talking about.
But I didn't even know him.
But Ester knew him, though.
Mom, I am sweetie tortellone ♪
- I am sleeping with someone's wife ♪
- My Ester.
Mom, I am tortellone ♪
Salvo, we have
to get out of here.
Ester could get here at any moment.
- I know. I can't do this.
- You can do it, Salvo. Come on.
- Let's go, Salvo.
- I can't do it.
Come on. Let's go.
You need to go back to thinking like
the killer in The Touch of the Killer.
- Grab the bag.
- Wait. What bag?
Let's go.
Good morning.
We've come to bring God
into your home.
It's a big crowd in here already,
and we're kind of busy at the moment.
If it's not a good time, then it just
means we have arrived right on time.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him,
because He cares for you."
Peter, 5-7.
The Lord seeks you,
and now we have found you!
Mama, I want to go back to school.
Uh, come in, before they find us too.
Come in.
- Who's they?
- You know, they!
I told you that you can go
back to school once the strike is over.
What's a strike?
A strike is when people
don't go to work so that they can protest.
- Why do they protest?
- Are you Mr. Gambino?
Uh, no, I am Mr. Gambino.
Sorry, are you Buddhists?
No, we're not Buddhists.
Please put that down. I beg you.
We've just finished cleaning,
and I'm telling you for your own sake.
I can see that you're suffering, brother.
But you mustn't despair
because God is always with us
and protects us in difficult times.
I get it. You do yoga.
Oh God.
Mr. Gambino, what's going on
with your friend over there?
Um, a heartbreak involving a woman.
Ah, so love.
It's about love.
Take shelter in God, friend,
because "man without God at his side
but who is born of woman
is few on days and full of trouble."
Yeah, me.
Job, 14-1.
You must've settled down.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Are you married, huh?
No, I don't have a girlfriend or a wife.
But you are in love.
I can see it in your eyes.
What do my eyes have to do with anything?
Well, anyways, it appears
that God knows where we live now.
He can come see us anytime.
That's no problem.
He's welcome to come hang out.
But then, the important thing is
that He can't touch anything.
Otherwise, He'll leave His fingerprints,
and His are huge.
Excuse me, Brother Gambino,
can I use your bathroom?
No!
Colleague. Uh?
It's clogged. Because it's clogged.
I'm the owner, right?
And I should know if it's clogged.
Some handymen were here.
They tried to fix it,
but they couldn't do it.
Ah, we met them at the entrance.
Lovely gentlemen.
They were laughing and singing.
But who knows why?
I know why. I know why.
Well, I'm sorry to break this up
since we're having so much fun,
but it's getting late.
There's never any parking here ever!
And so may the Lord always be with you.
And remember, you need
to educate your children well,
because the success of a child
depends on its parents.
Goodbye, Mr. Gambino.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Come on! Hurry!
Ester's gonna be here any minute now.
You know, I think she's right, though.
If your mother had raised
you and your sister better,
none of this would be happening.
Why bring up my mother?
As soon as all this is finished,
you, your mother, and your whole family
can go straight to hell, okay?
- All right, Salvo.
- No! You need to promise me!
I promise. Come on. Let's go.
- All right.
- Let's go, Salvo. Let's go.
All right. Okay.
- And I'm not done with your mother.
- All right. The doorknob!
Okay, fine. Okay.
Oh, hi.
I've never seen you before.
Why are you cleaning?
- Do you work here?
- Yes.
You're a liar.
No one's working today. There's a strike.
And what's in that black bag there?
It's all a game.
I'm playing, uh, cops and robbers.
And actually, I'm leaving right now,
because if the cops catch me, then I lose.
You can help me win, yeah?
Don't tell anyone you saw me.
Shh.
Shh.
Sorry, but how long has it been
since you've done maintenance here, huh?
Is it really that bad?
Yeah, of course.
- See if that works now.
- Yeah.
Come on. Don't run. Don't run. Don't run.
Let's go.
What took you so much time?
- I'm here now.
- Stay calm.
Now just stroll
like we have nothing to do with anything.
Let's go. We can't leave any proof
that we were here this morning.
- What's this then?
- Ugh.
I didn't see it.
We'll deal with this later.
Come on. Hurry up!
"Why does
your dog eat at your house
and then do his business at mine?"
These are the serious accusations
made by Mr. Bartolomeo,
who is now in police custody
after biting his neighbor's dog,
a chihuahua named Fluffy,
and the is the reason for the feud
between two childhood friends,
now both 90 years old.
Once again, Sicily's sweet sunlight
exposes the bitterness of bad blood.
That's all from police headquarters.
Time for celebrity news.
So they haven't found the body yet.
Can you explain to me
what you were thinking,
telling your mother
we were going to Castelmonte?
When I was a kid,
I always used to go to Castelmonte.
- Are you still a kid or something?
- No, I'm not a kid.
My mom liked these pastries they would
make at a monastery there in Castelmonte.
My mom liked them so much
that she used to make my dad
go all the way to Castelmonte
just to buy them.
Huh.
Your mom sent your dad to Castelmonte
so she could cheat on him.
Mom didn't cheat on my dad, all right?
Yes, it runs in the family.
You send people to Castelmonte
to cheat on them.
All you've done is get better at it.
You take me to Castelmonte,
your sister cheats on me,
while your mother covers for her.
You all just have
a thing with Castelmonte.
I told you, we only used
to go to Castelmonte for those pastries.
Eh.
What did you say?
We only used to go
to Castelmonte for the pastries.
Finally, that's the first good idea
you've had all day today.
Huh?
The two of us are gonna act like
the killer in The Touch of the Killer.
All right, come on.
How can you still not understand?
We will go to Castelmonte
and buy some pastries.
- Pastries?
- Yes, we'll get a receipt.
Then we'll have proof
that we were, in fact, in Castelmonte,
which means we could never have been
at the scene of the crime.
Now, technically, it's called an alibi.
And we need to have one in place
before the murder is discovered.
We need to hurry.
As long as they haven't found
the body, we're good.
There's water everywhere.
No one's answering.
Mr. Gambino must've left
the water running. I'll tell the doorman.
Okay.
Mr. Gambino?
Mr. Gambino?
Why isn't he answering?
It's here.
- This is it?
- This is it.
This is it. Should I knock?
Yeah.
Welcome.
- How can I help you?
- Good afternoon.
We're here to for the pastries.
Oh, yes, of course.
And we need a receipt.
Eh?
We've come here for the pastries.
Of course, the pastries. Yes.
Yes, and a receipt.
Huh?
Pastries?
Pastries.
- A receipt?
- Huh?
Brothers, we sell our pastries
only to believers.
Are you believers?
Yes, absolutely.
I actually make the sign of the cross
with just one hand.
- I only need the one, you know?
- Wonderful.
I have great news, then.
You're just in time for afternoon prayers.
I sing for Christ
He shall set me free ♪
When He will come back to Earth ♪
He will bring us all back to life ♪
Hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
I sing for Christ
One day He shall be back ♪
And we will celebrate ♪
Didn't you say it was time
for afternoon prayers?
He who sings prays twice.
Hallelujah ♪
Huh.
Okay, stay cool.
Just be cool.
You have to pretend like nothing happened.
- All right. All right.
- Say it with me, nothing!
- Nothing. Nothing.
- Breathe. Calm. Calm.
- What's up?
- Ah!
Tortellini.
- Everything all right?
- I'm fine.
Where are you?
Are you in town?
I told you, I'm in Castelmonte.
Oh, you're in Castelmonte.
It's just that it's getting late,
and I was worried.
But
you do remember that tonight
you have your high school reunion, right?
Once Mass is finished, we're coming home.
You're at Mass?
Yes, we're at Mass.
You're at Mass?
Yes, at Mass. What is the problem?
It's good to go to Mass
and confess once in a while.
My friends, please continue.
One, two, three, four.
- Hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
Are these okay?
- Yes, thank you.
- You're welcome.
Forty euros.
And remember, the Lord gives
only if He has received.
About that. Since we've given,
we'd like written confirmation
we've received these pastries.
A receipt.
Huh?
Don't worry about your ears.
I'd worry about the IRS instead.
Yeah.
- Thank you for coming.
- Thank you.
Goodbye.
- Hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah ♪
- Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ♪
All right, remember.
You said it yourself.
We're calm and serene.
- All right.
- Like nothing ever happened.
- All right. All right.
- Especially with Ester.
Okay!
I get it, okay?
I need to stay calm.
They at Alberto's place by coincidence.
We're not dressed in our best.
So you're thinking about Agata.
- Who's thinking about Agata?
- You're always thinking about Agata.
- How can you say that?
- I can see it in your eyes.
Why do people keep saying that?
Tell me why.
Put your hands together for
Salvo and Valentino, the nerds from 5G!
No. No, no, no, stop. Stop. Stop.
I wanna give a toast.
To Salvo and Valentino.
With their presence, they show us
the beauty of their friendship
and also the bitterness of being tardy.
We were hard at work!
Sergio, you're a true poet.
Your talents are wasted as a journalist.
Let's hear it for Sergio.
- You deserve it.
- Welcome. Welcome
- Welcome.
- Sorry, we were working.
- Nothing we could do about it.
- Darling!
I was starting to get worried.
What took the two of you so damn long?
Uh, we were so late,
we didn't stop to change.
I have a confession to make.
We did go to Castelmonte.
Not just to fix a television,
but also to bring you
these.
Oh my, but these are I
I haven't had these for a very long time.
Your father, God bless him,
would be happy.
Let's see if they're
as delicious as they used to be.
Mama, you promised the doctor you
wouldn't eat any processed sugar, okay?
Sounds like your family
has a problem keeping promises.
My tortellini
Tortellini who?
Who? Who's your tortellini?
Why are you calling me tortellini?
Tortellini?
Eh. Eh.
Tortellini!
I have always said that you deserve more.
You do.
Yeah, it's just been
a complicated day at work. That's all.
Hello there. Mrs. Antonietta!
Do you remember me?
- You are?
- Cangelosi.
Cangelosi! I failed you three times.
You did!
He's been cruel all day,
and I'd like to know why.
Esther, why don't you
just stop imagining things?
Valentino, I am your sister.
You have to tell me the truth.
Why don't you tell me the truth?
You know, because I am your brother.
Agata's not here yet,
but she should be here any minute now.
That was kind of weird.
Hey, Sergio!
Hey, Salvo.
How's things? Two glasses of wine here.
What? Did you dress
for your First Communion?
Oh, stop. Please. You know
I always have to be ready for work.
If I get a call from the newsroom,
I have to be camera-ready. Always. Yeah.
Oh, about that.
What's today's news?
Any murders or anything?
Today, no.
- Oh.
- What can I say? The usual news.
Nothing exciting.
It's really all nonsense, Salvo.
- Sicilian journalism is dying.
- Dying?
The truth, Sicily
isn't the place it used to be.
Do you remember how it was?
- Oh, yes.
- Blood feuds.
Murderous revenge.
And now, when was the last time
you heard of a war with the Mafia?
Yeah.
Don't worry about it, Sergio, huh.
Better times are coming. At least for you.
Let's hope so.
- Cheers to you.
- Cheers to you.
And here's Agata!
Sorry I'm late.
Agata!
- Sergio!
- See? She is here at last.
- Agata
- See? She's here at last!
Your return to our beloved land
give us the sweetness of your smile
and the bitterness
of your many bountiful goodbyes.
Agata!
Excuse me, guys.
I didn't think you'd make it.
Hi, Valentino.
I know you've been away awhile.
And she thought you were still licking
your wounds.
Is that supposed to be funny? Huh?
They're still going on
about the past.
It's been a long time.
They should've moved on by now.
They should find something else
to laugh about.
Don't let them get to you.
They're just having fun.
I'm not angry. I'm just going along
with the joke to make them laugh.
- Should we grab a cocktail at the bar?
- Yes.
What's wrong with your eyes?
Conjunctivitis.
Oh.
Here we are.
I haven't heard from you in years.
How did the school get in touch with you?
Um, by chance, really.
I called Simona
as soon as I got back to Sicily.
She told me about the party,
and here I am.
What's been going on with you?
What can I tell you?
Nothing special ever happens in this town.
It's really just boring, boring, boring.
It's nothing you'd ever see
on a television show.
So, are you married?
No.
Single.
Are you still living with your mother?
Of course not.
I haven't lived with my mom in years.
Uh! My mother. Who remembers her anyway?
And you? Are you married?
No, no, I'm done with men.
I just think that men are
Well, no offense,
but you really are all the same,
unreliable and childish.
I have to add, you can also exhibit
cowardice when you are challenged.
Yes. Yes, that's undeniable.
So you agree. Perfect.
Oh, I've never liked that Agata.
And look who showed up now.
Your brother deserves so much better.
Come on, Mom. You never like anyone.
You haven't taught for years,
but it's like you're still grading people.
Tell me. How did you get
that bruise on your forehead?
I told you!
I bumped my head while I was doing
some cleaning around the apartment.
Well, guys, my job is not an easy one.
Very few people in the world know
I didn't even have time
to get changed.
Just look at the way I'm dressed.
You look good.
No one's in a tux here.
Can I say hello too?
Ester!
Mm.
You look beautiful.
Aside from the bruise.
You look great.
Like no time has passed at all.
And what about Salvo? How's he?
He is good.
It looks like he's enjoying himself.
You know, the other day I found
some photos from when we were in school,
and you were in some.
Really?
You were the most beautiful girl
in school.
You had a line of boys behind you.
- Mm.
- And she chose the last one in the line.
Mrs. Antonietta,
how nice to see you again.
How nice for me.
Huh. Have you gained weight?
Well, you look lovely as always, ma'am.
- Oh, thank you.
- Of course.
What are you up to these days?
- Self-care.
- Where's Salvo?
- Is that like a special diet?
- He was there.
- No.
- Excuse me. I'll be right back.
Just one second.
I eat everything.
- I cut sugar out. Now I'm eating it again.
- Hmm.
Could I have a copy of those photos?
It would be so cool
to have them, you know?
There on the front line daily
reporting the real news.
You know how many dead bodies I've seen?
Just take a guess.
Sergio, have you seen Salvo?
I saw him going upstairs.
He was pretty drunk, though.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Salvo? Salvo! What are you doing up there?
Nothing yet.
Salvo, I'm begging you.
Don't do anything stupid, Salvo.
Oh, please,
don't do anything stupid, okay?
She called him tortellone.
I know,
but please don't do anything stupid.
Oh, my love, Ester.
What did I do to deserve this?
Salvo, things are really bleak right now,
but with time, it will get better.
Then you'll see things differently.
- I'll jump and that'll be the end of it.
- No!
You can't jump, Salvo.
You have to finish telling me what happens
in The Touch of the Killer, Salvo.
You can't leave me like this
after eight whole seasons.
You can finish the show,
and then I'll come to you in a dream,
and you can tell me
all the details of the end.
No.
I can't watch it on my own.
It wouldn't be right, Salvo.
Would you really do that for me?
Of course, Salvo.
We've always done everything together
ever since way back
when we were little kids in school.
If you jump now, it'll be the first thing
you've ever done on your own.
You're right.
Okay, let's jump together,
holding each other close.
No, Salvo. Wait.
Just wait a second, Salvo.
- Don't move. I'm right here, okay, Salvo?
- I'm here too.
Don't move.
I'm coming over to you, my friend.
- I'm coming. Don't move.
- Welcome to here.
That's a long way down.
- Come here, my friend.
- I'm dying.
Come on. Don't ever say that, okay?
You aren't allowed to say that to me.
Did you know
your lips are just like your sister's?
So what?
Give me one kiss.
- Stop it!
- Just one kiss, please.
Stop it! You're drunk, okay?
Put that bottle down right now.
Let's get rid of the DNA, just in case.
Good. I want you clearheaded
and thinking like your killer.
Come here. Don't worry about it anymore.
Everything's gonna be just
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I need a crew out here right away.
Let's hope it's a drug raid!
A round of applause for the police!
Ah, we already made it
to the eighth season.
Hmm.
