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.
[The Look of the Killer theme plays]
[phone rings
with The Look of the Killer theme]
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.
- [applause]
- 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.
[romantic music playing]
Megan.
Oh, my love.
[woman on TV] 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.
[cheering and applause]
[romantic music continues]
[Valentino chuckles]
- Someone's excited.
- Yeah.
Well, I think I've spent enough years
without being with you.
[chuckles]
Slow down.
Here.
So, welcome to my son's room.
[Valentino] Beautiful.
[Agata] 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?
- [chuckles]
- [sighs]
[phone ringing]
Excuse me.
No worries. [chuckles]
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
[chuckles]
[Antonietta]
Where the hell are you at this hour?
I'm spending time with Agata.
Oh. Hm. Say hi for me.
[Valentino] 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.
- [chuckles]

[horn honks]
Yoo-hoo! Hey, you're taking forever.
Oh! What are you rushing me for, huh?
One more minute.
[Valentino]
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. [chuckles]
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.
[growls]
[chuckles]
Like I just said,
you're some kind of lone wolf now.
["Viva la Mamma" playing]
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!
[laughs]
[Sergio on radio] 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!
[tires squeal]
[mysterious music playing]
[Valentino panting]
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.
[suspenseful music playing]
[laughing]
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.
[Salvo] 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! [whimpers]
[solemn marching band music playing]
Lift him up! Get him in the van. Hurry!
- Okay.
- [Valentino] Yes, yes.
Do it faster! Come on! Quickly!
Right now!
- [overlapping chatter]
- Shut up! Come on! Quickly!
Quickly! Move faster!
- On your feet! Now! Move faster! [grunts]
- We got him. Okay.
Okay, he's all set.
[Tonino] Now, don't play any games.
Let's get going. Go.
[Salvo whimpers]
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
[phones beep]
- Here it is. Here you go.
- There you go.
[suspenseful action music playing]
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!
[tires squeal]
What do you think he's gonna do to us?
Offer a nice meal.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Get out.
[whimpers]
[Tonino] Come on!
- What's happening? Where are we going?
- [Tonino] Over there! Walk!
Come on. Come on. Keep walking.
Walk!
[Valentino whimpering]
[Tonino] Stop right there.
On your knees.
- [Valentino grunts]
- 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!
- [Valentino] 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!
[cries]
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 [grunts]
[grunts]
Padre Santissimo!
Ah, Padre Santissimo!
- Please stop!
- [brake clicks]
[groans]
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?
[stuttering] Sure, it's
[stuttering] But I did!
Tonino! Tonino! ♪
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!
[louder] Very well, Tonino!
[robotic voice] The number you've dialed
is turned off or out of reach.
Please try again later
or press one for more options. Pr
[sighs]
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.
[suspenseful music playing]
[sighs]
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.
- [Valentino] Uh
- [Salvo] Uh, a bird hit us.
- [Valentino] Yeah.
- Can you believe it? Mm.
Carrying anything with you?
Uh, well
- Of course we are.
- [chuckles]
[Valentino] 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.
[chuckles nervously]
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. [chuckles]
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.
- [Salvo] 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.
[chuckles]
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. [chuckles]
- 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. [chuckles]
- Thank you.
- Have a nice day.
- [Salvo] Good luck with everything.
[officer] 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
[Tonino sighs]
[Valentino and Salvo grunt]
[panting]
[clock ticking]
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.
[Tonino] 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.
- [Salvo] 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.
[mumbles indistinctly]
I'm giving you two hours.
[Salvo] All right, then.
I'll be back by two.
[Tonino] No!
Back by 1:55.
Yeah.
[sighs]
I'm begging you, Salvo.
Be back real quick.
[suspenseful action music playing]
[Tonino] You.
All this shit is offending me.
Get a bag and clean it up.
Move it!
[indistinct yelling]
CENTRAL HOSPITAL
[overlapping yelling]
[man] It's an absolute disgrace!
Italy is getting worse and worse
by the hour.
That's because
we're getting worse too, huh?
[cheering]
Thank you. Thank you.
[Salvo] Where is Tantillo?
Excuse me. Where is Dr. Tantillo?
- I don't know.
- [Salvo] 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
[emergency brake clicks]
- Excuse me! Where can I find Dr. Tantillo?
- I'm sorry. He's in the operating room.
- Ugh. Okay, bye.
- Hey, what the hell?
[machine beeping]
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.
[patient] 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!
[suspenseful action music playing]
[car door closes]
Dr. Tantillo!
Oh, I'm sorry. Dr. Tantillo left already.
Now where did he go?
[yelling]
Who is Tantillo?
[yelling stops]
Excuse me. [chuckles]
Pardon.
Please come with me, right now. Huh?
[ticking]
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.
[robotic voice] The phone number you
have dialed is turned off or out of reach.
[scoffs] 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? [chuckles]
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
[clock ticking]
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. [chuckles]
- [camera clicks]
Take care.
Thank you. All right.
- [suspenseful action music playing]
- [tires squeal]
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.
[sighs]
[suspenseful action music swells]
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!
[clock ticking]
[somber suspenseful music playing]
[suspenseful action music playing]
[gunshots]
No!
[suspenseful action music swells]
FRAMED!
