The White Lotus (2021) s02e06 Episode Script

1
What are you doing?
I feel like you don't believe me.
It's starting to drive me crazy.
It's not fair that you don't believe me.
When have I ever lied to you?
I believe you.
Obviously, you don't. Or you
wouldn't be acting like this.
And it's
It's fucked up. We've always
been honest with each other.
So, just give me a break.
- No, we haven't.
- We haven't?
I mean, we're not honest about
About what?
About how we're not
attracted to each other
anymore.
Or at least you're not
attracted to me, you know?
It's, like, I get it you're
on top of the world right now.
You could sleep with
whoever you want,
- and you're stuck with me and
- Stop saying that stuff!
Yeah, it makes sense that
you'd wanna have sex
with an Italian hooker.
- You're not getting any.
- I didn't have sex
with an Italian hooker. Jesus, fuck!
I'm just saying that
it's not the cheating
- that bothers me so much
- There was no cheating!
There was no cheating!
as what it says about us.
What?
What does it say?
That maybe something has died.
We are too young to be this old, Ethan.
I'm sure you don't want that
part of your life to be over.
Do you?
I don't.
I'm dealing with a lot, okay?
Work's been insane. And
Okay.
I don't know. I I
We can work on it.
We can work on it, okay?
Do even want me?
I love you.
- So depressing.
- "I love you" is depressing?
No. No.
I love you, too.
Are you gonna go running or what?
I don't know.
- You want a coffee?
- Yes, please.
You know, she's pretty convinced
you guys did something bad
- when we were in Noto.
- Ooh, something bad?
- Mm.
- Like what?
I don't know.
- What'd you do this time?
- I told you. We partied.
- How hard did you party?
- So hard, honey.
- Yeah?
- So
fucking hard!
- Because you left me.
- Oh.
- Yeah. You abandoned me.
- Yeah?
And now, you must pay.
What about you?
You fuck anyone in Noto?
Any fat Italian guys
with BO and a dirty dick?
- Every single one.
- You little
Oh, yeah.
- Oh, you're gonna pay.
- Mm.
- So, how was the opera?
- Mm.
- She died.
- Who?
- Madame Butterfly.
- Oh.
How was your big night?
It was fun.
Yeah. We almost got arrested.
We didn't pay for our arancini. So,
- yeah.
- Arancinis cost a dollar.
I know.
Maybe you should slow
down with this guy.
Why?
Something about his
relationship with his uncle.
What about it?
- I don't think it's his uncle.
- It is.
- Mm-mm.
- Why would you say that?
Oh, it was just a
It was just a strong hunch.
Okay?
Portia.
When I see you, I I see
a younger version of me.
You know, when I was a little girl,
my mother used to dress
me up like a little doll.
And I was always a little doll,
waiting for someone to play with me.
You know, when you're empty inside
and you have no direction,
you'll end up in some
crazy places, right?
But you'll still be lost.
What are you trying to say? Like
Get your shit together, Portia.
Buongiorno, ladies.
Pineapple mimosa?
- Mm. Yes.
- Oh, sure.
- How did we sleep?
- Not great.
There were some strange
noises in the night.
Oh, no.
Well, we need you refreshed,
you're guest of honor tonight.
Oh.
Today's the big day!
Gonna visit the motherland.
Wouldn't it be cool
if we actually found
some blood relations?
You know, uh, Marty Fiorina,
he did something like
this, but in Puglia.
Found his entire extended family.
They had a big lunch,
they drank wine, they took photos.
Oh. A real homecoming.
- That would be nice.
- I found us a translator.
Good thinking.
Sì.
Sì.
Buongiorno!
Buongiorno.
Salvatore? Salvatore!
Hey!
Hey!
- What are you trying to do?
- What do you mean?
Are you trying not to pay us?
- Were you not paid?
- You owe us 1,300 Euros.
I'll get it sorted, we have money.
I I didn't realize you
hadn't been paid, okay?
Yes.
- Ciao.
- Ciao.
Salvatore?
Grazie.
- Ah, sì?
- Sì
Grazie!
Hey.
What?
I just saw you talking to those hookers.
I'm so hungover.
I think the only thing I can
do today is lay on the beach.
Detox.
- Please stop gaslighting me.
- I'm not gaslighting you.
Look, I can explain,
just can we please not
talk about it right now?
Okay, whatever.
I'm over it. I don't
I don't care anymore.
Just looking at all those
sausages made me wanna puke.
Oh!
Oh, my God!
- Sorry.
- Shit!
Scared the widdle baby, did I?
Right.
I got the car for the day.
Do you wanna take a drive?
We'll go down to Cefalù,
we'll drink some Peronis,
eat some ice cream. What do you think?
- Sure, yeah!
- Yeah?
I'm down for anything.
I just wanna be back for
the party thing later.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- We'll be back. Don't worry.
- Okay.
Uh, go grab all your shit,
meet me by the car, all right?
Got me uncle's credit card, so,
you know.
- All right. Go.
- Oh, fuck!
- Oh my God!
- Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,
- I was just teasing.
- So mean!
Shit!
Is that
Wouldn't it be incredible
if we actually found
some distant relatives?
Would be amazing.
Just try not to fall before
we get you in the car, Dad.
- Oh. Thanks a lot, Dom!
- Hey, guys.
This is Lucia. She's
going to translate for us.
This is my dad, Dominic,
and my grandfather, Bert.
My pleasure. Good morning!
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I've seen you around.
- Ah, yes! I am always around.
- I love this hotel, so
- Hey, Lucia?
Oh! Just just one second.
Sorry, Albie, I thought you meant, um,
someone who worked here in the hotel.
Is there a problem?
Oh, I I don't know
if this is a good idea.
Dad, she's coming, okay? So, be polite.
You're overreacting.
- Giving yourself away.
- What? Giving what away?
That you slept with her.
Stop it, please. I
don't want her to come.
What's wrong with you?
Can't you just be cool?
Get it together.
Okay, guys. What Uh,
let's let's do this.
You seem to know a
lot of the staff here.
Uh. Yes. Uh, he is the
brother of a friend of mine.
- Ah!
- Thank you.
So, tell us about yourself,
my dear. Where are you from?
I'm from Catania.
Ah. How do you speak such good English?
From school. And from my work.
Oh, what do you?
Hospitality.
High unemployment rate in
Sicily, I hear, so it's
it's great that you're employed!
Thank you, yes. I'm lucky.
I really wanna get a
massage before we go home.
Do you wanna get massages today?
Yeah, sure.
'Kay, I'm gonna call and see
if they have any availability.
Want me to get you another towel?
Dude!
Can we sit here?
- You are fucking me up here!
- What? How?
Harper is, like, 100 percent
convinced I cheated on her.
- But you didn't, man.
- I know that!
But, could you at least, like, I dunno,
vouch for me or something?
Hi! I was wondering,
do you have room for
two for a massage today?
Oh. Okay.
Yeah. Daphne Sullivan.
Thanks.
Okay.
I got the last massage,
but it's, like, right now.
- Are you sure you don't want it?
- No, you take it.
You're the one going home
to a house full of kids.
Um. Okay, I'm gonna go,
'cause I wanna use the steam room.
Yeah. Yeah, totally.
So but I'll see you in a few hours?
- Take your time.
- Bye.
E, you wanna go get some drinks, man?
No, I'm good.
- I'll go.
- Yeah?
Yeah. Let's do it.
Hmm.
Do you have any goals?
What?
- Goals?
- Yeah.
- What are some of your goals?
- I don't know.
Be satisfied?
Yeah, that'd be nice.
I think you just gotta
live every day as it comes,
do you know what I mean?
Like, that's what I'd do anyway.
Who knows if we're even
gonna be here tomorrow?
Yeah.
That's very true. The
world's a fucked-up place.
So
What's wrong with it?
Are you joking?
Pretty fucking good world, I'd say.
Literally everything's falling apart.
You'd rather live in the
Middle Ages then, would ya?
When they were ripping
each other to shreds, yeah?
They were way worse than
ISIS or any of them lot.
Like, it's a fucking miracle
anyone's even left in Europe.
All we've been doing is just
fuckin' hacking each other to bits
and burning each other at the stake.
I'm ready for another beer.
All I'm saying is, right,
we're fucking lucky,
do you know what I mean?
Like, we're living in the
best time in the history of the world,
on the best fucking planet.
If you can't be satisfied
living now, here
you're never gonna be satisfied.
So, let's get pissed, eh?
- Come on.
- My
- I'll grab that.
- Wait! Wait!
Not much to it.
- Hmm.
- No wonder they all left.
Who would I have been if I lived here?
You wouldn't have lived
here, you would've left.
There are people who stay and
there are people who leave.
- And I'm someone who leaves?
- Hmm,
'cause you got wanderlust.
You get that from me.
All righty.
Okay. All right, um, you're
not gonna believe this.
We just talked to
that woman and she said
that there is a Di Grasso
family still living here
and she knows them.
- You're kidding!
- Amazing!
They live a mile down the road,
and she gave us the address.
- Let's go!
- Oh!
- What's wrong?
- Alessio.
- He followed us here?
- Albie, come on.
Could you please drive?
- Please?
- Something wrong?
Dad, start the car. Let's go.
What?
Can you tell me what's going on, please?
- There's some guys following us.
- Who?
Just some guys Lucia knows.
What should I do?
Just pull over. Stop!
I'll talk to him.
What should we do? What do we do here?
Dad, I don't know.
- Hey.
- What's going on here?
No.
I'm going with him.
No, we're not gonna let that
happen. We can handle him.
No, you can't.
Do you want us to call the police?
The police? No! No, no, no, no.
Listen, guys. I'm fine.
He's upset, I just
have to talk with him.
We can't let you go with him. No.
Yeah, but we're also not
gonna escalate things further.
Please! Don't let this spoil your day.
Have your reunion and
see you tonight. Okay? I'm fine.
- You're sure?
- Yes.
Okay.
- All right.
- I will call you.
- Okay.
- I'm fine.
What happened?
You're gonna just let her get abducted?
That's what she wanted, Dad.
Oh, no.
Don't go with him!
No, that was yesterday!
Hello?
- Hold on, just one second.
- Hello?
What the fuck?
Jesus!
So impatient!
Why did you latch the door?
I didn't know I did.
What? You obviously did.
Habit, I guess?
Since when is latching
the door your habit?
I had a tequila shot at the
bar, I wasn't really thinking.
You had a tequila shot, and then
you had to come up to get a hat?
Yeah, I felt like I was getting burned.
Let's go back down.
Why is this door open?
Is it? I don't know.
- I have no idea.
- Was Cameron in here?
- No.
- Where is he?
Uh. Pr probably in his room.
He said had to get something, too. Why?
So, you came up here together?
Yeah? So? What is your deal?
- This door should be locked.
- Then lock it.
Hey, guys. Wait up.
Came to get my book. Come on.
Are you coming?
Now what?
We came all this way.
Might as well go in.
Yeah.
Hello, uh, we don't, uh, speak
Non parlo Italiano. But, uh, my name
is Dominic Di Grasso.
Di Grasso.
You are Di Grasso, sì?
Sì.
My mother was from Testa dell'Acqua.
From here.
She left to go to America.
Sì. Now, uh, we've come back
to find where we're from.
Um, we think that, uh, we are related.
You're our relatives.
You and I are cousins!
Cousins.
Um
- Cugini!
- Cugini.
Huh?
Could we say buongiorno,
uh, a tua madre?
Eh.
Woah.
Grazie.
Signora.
We are your cousins from America.
My mother was from Testa dell'Acqua!
From here!
Huh?
No, no.
No, no, no, no. We come in peace!
I think we should leave.
- No, we're related. We're rel
- Come on. Dad, Nonno, let's go.
Nonno, we should go. Let's go.
- Sorry. Sorry.
- Sorry, guys.
Bah!
Let's get outta here.
Let's get outta here.
Not quite what I imagined.
He is a slimeball.
I didn't mean to say he's,
like, my best friend or anything.
I just want you to admit it, that's all.
Yeah. I'd he can be
a fun time. That's all.
That's all I meant.
You wanna try this?
It's actually kinda good.
Why are you in a good mood?
What?
Now, all of a sudden,
you're in a good mood? Why?
Because we're in Sicily,
and it's beautiful!
And because
at the bar, Cameron confirmed
everything that you said.
- He did?
- Yeah. Basically.
Hi!
- What's up, honey?
- Okay, guys.
- Don't hate me, but, wow!
- What?
- That massage was amazing!
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- Oh, that's awesome.
- I'm happy for you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Well,
then you'll also be happy
to know that my masseur
- was so hot.
- What?
- Yeah.
- No!
Kinda looked like Timothée Chalamet.
- Oh, nice!
- But he had muscles.
- What?
- Mm-hmm.
Timothée Sham-a-lay?
Tell me he didn't touch your boobs.
- I asked him to.
- Dirty slut!
- Are you jealous?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- I want a fucking divorce!
- Cam! Stop it!
- Oh! You are
- Just kidding.
- Mm.
Whoo! Fucking hell!
I fucking love beer,

- Yeah, I know.
How's your thing?
- It's good, yeah.

Uh, do you feel like we should
head back to the house soon?
I feel like the party's
probably starting. I mean
No, no, no, no, no.
Fuck that, fuck that.
Uh, let's get another one.
Geezer?
Can we get, uh, two more, yeah?
Nice one.

I found the perfect arm
candy for you tonight.
What do you mean?
I mean literally the sexiest
heterosexual in Palermo.
- Oh. Who is this person?
- Niccolò. Gorgeous.
Notoriously well-hung. Not that
I've seen it firsthand
he said, crestfallen.
But believe me, I've tried.
Well, what does he do for a living?
Oh, this and that.
Niccolò may or may not have ties
to a very influential local family.
Oh, he joined the mafia?
Did I say that? I didn't say that.
We don't use that word in Palermo.
I know Niccolò because
he supplies all my parties
with the best party favors.
Yeah, but, I'm not gonna be his type.
Don't be ridiculous.
It's in the bag, as they say.
Come on. There are people here.
Here's Penelope Bianchi.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
My dear friend, Emily
Fitzroy. Peppe Tasca.
What an honor.
They're lovely people, but
we could be there all night.
Okay.
Oh, Niccolò. Here he is.
Hello. Hey.
- Hello.

Yeah. Are you S Sicilian?
- Yes. I'm from Palermo.
- Oh.
Oh. Oh, okay.
Little pick-me-up?

done that in a long time.
It's like riding a bike.
Oh.
Oh. Oh.
- Let's do it.
- Uh. Okay.
- Okay.
- Here.
- Do you feel it?
- I do.
- Yeah.

Yeah. And fresh, yeah.

rather well, isn't it?

Yeah.
Of course. I said, uh, you know,
you had done nothing wrong
and you've been a good boy.
Stop flirting with my
wife. I'm not a fool.
All right.
D Dude, are you being serious?

Oh, well, you have to get a studio.
Can't be consistent with
the classes, you know?
Yeah. I struggle with that, too.

did fuck up my back.
- It's starting to really hurt.
- Oh, sorry.
No.
- Do you have any aspirin?
- Uh. I think I might.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Not really anyway. He's
spent most of it, hasn't he?
You've seen the way he lives.
Got his boat.
His house.
These fucking princesses, and lords,
and these posh fuckers, yeah?
They got their palazzos.
They ain't got no money.
He was gonna have to sell Villa Pisano.
It's his family's fucking house!
Your family, too, though, right?
Because he's your uncle. Right?
That would have fucking killed him.
But he doesn't have to?
Well, he's coming into
money now, isn't he?
Is he?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
And he's gonna help his friends.
'Cause he's he's he's very giving.
I'm just happy that
that I get to, you know,
help him now.
'Cause he's helped me.
How are you helping him?
I was in a fucking hole.
You know, you complain
about your life, yeah?
But really, you should just shut it,
'cause you ain't never been
in a fuckin' hole like that.
Nah.
And then he comes along and
You know, no one's perfect.
Sometimes you do things
you don't wanna do.
- You know?
- No
What do you mean? What kind of hole?
Fucking deep hole, man.
Very fucking deep.
