Five, four, three, two, one!
A world-renowned journalist,
winner of two Pulitzer prizes.
He has promoted campaigns
dedicated to the harmonious
transformation of the world
from an antiquated
concept of governance
to a modern, humanistic
global system of shared values
and egalitarian principles.
Ten seconds.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the revolutionary
Richard Foster.
My idea is to strive
for Global Harmony
based on
fundamental human rights.
[panting] f*ck' answer!
I know it sounds
hopelessly idealistic, but...
[interviewer] The world is
changing just before your eyes,
right after
this commercial break.
[man speaking Italian on TV]
[door slams]
But unless the world
can embrace equality,
justice, and human dignity,
our future is dim.
We need to stand united
under one single flag,
under one unifying government.
Are you proposing we get rid
of nations altogether?
If we're talking about nations
as in a cultural entity,
then the answer is no.
My goal for Global Harmony is
to abolish the disparity
between nations.
Do you think
it's really possible
to put the rich and the poor
on the same level?
It's not about taking from
the rich and giving to the poor.
It's about providing
equal access to education,
healthcare, and employment.
We're all connected
to each other.
Global warming is
teaching us the same lesson.
[interviewer]
With your permission, photos
will appear on the screen
that I would like you
to comment on--
[broadcast stops]
[intense music]
[shouting] Julia! Julia!
[tires screech]
-Please.
-English?
-Yes! Yes.
-What-- what's wrong with you?
[groans] Please,
she's coming now.
You need to get me
to the hospital.
-Look at me--
-No! There is no time.
I need to get to
the hospital now!
-I'll call you a taxi.
-No! Let's go!
Let's go. Let's go. Go!
[tires screech]
Mr. Foster,
you come from an important
American industrialist family,
a family that has always
put profit first.
So, what about your dedication
to others come from?
[man speaks Italian]
Well, I would like
to say my family,
except that's not the case.
Except maybe for showing me
what I didn't wanna be.
I have been given
an unfair advantage in life,
highlighting that the mere
circumstance of someone's birth,
something that nobody
has any control over,
impacts their lives
for better or for worse.
And I am struggling
to turn my family's legacy
into something that
benefits the world.
Which is where
Global Harmony comes in.
[cell phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
Oh, f*ck' just answer it!
And what do I tell to my wife?
Oh, I can't stand it anymore.
Now just turn it off.
You got to turn right.
The hospital is to the right.
[tires screeching]
[exclaims, groans]
Besides being an organization
that aims to create
a global healthcare system,
one of your objectives is to
begin the process
of eliminating
weapon of mass destruction.
Do you know how much money
is spent on military defense
every year worldwide?
Uh, I would think,
uh, trillions.
Between 15 and 20
trillion dollars.
-No!
-If we created
a global peacekeeping force,
we could reduce
that cost by 40%.
Imagine the good
we could do for humanity
by reallocating that money
to social programs
that benefit the people
who need it most.
So, the last question.
Is it true that you have an
ambitious project here in Italy?
Ah, yes, yes. Yes, we do.
Would you like to
share some details to us?
Not right now. We'll save
that for the next interview.
[chuckles]
Looking forward to it, Richard.
Ladies and gentlemen,
tonight's special guest,
Richard Foster.
[Nicola] I've been working for
this network for ten years now.
Often I have to drive
snobbish people.
Uh...
That's when I tell myself,
"Nicola, just think
about your paycheck,"
and so the day goes by.
But with you, it's different.
I feel, um...
What do you call it in America?
Uh, "good vibes," right?
[laughs] Uh, yes. Good vibes.
[chuckles]
[music intensifies]
[car horn honking]
What the hell this guy doing?
[tires screeching]
[groans]
-[engine revving]
-[woman screams]
[car alarm blaring]
[Richard] Stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop, stop!
Stop!
[alarm continues]
Hey! Hey. Hey.
[yelps]
He's dead. Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
[Nicola] Here, I-- I have you.
-Help me, I'm giving birth!
-Oh, sh*t.
[Nicola speaking Italian]
Hey! Hey.
Hey. You're all right. Okay?
The ambulance is on its way,
okay? I'm gonna help you out,
all right?
Gotta come up with me, okay?
Ready?
-Up. Nicola, help me.
-[woman groaning]
Yeah, I got you. Up.
I got you, yeah. I got you!
Help me put her on the ground.
Okay. Quickly.
Yeah. All right, that's it.
Come on over here.
-Slowly.
-Can you put your jacket
on the ground?
-The jacket?
-Yes! Okay, here.
-[woman groans]
-Just breathe, okay? Breathe.
Okay, there you go. All right.
Get something to put
under her head, okay?
In the car. In the car!
Okay, hey. It's okay.
Okay. Breathe.
-Okay.
-[woman panting]
-[Nicola] Is this okay?
-Yes! Yes, yes.
Quick, quick, quick.
-[woman shouts]
-Okay.
Okay. I need you to hold her.
Okay. Okay.
This is happening.
Okay. sh*t.
My name is Richard.
What's your name?
[strained] Mamy.
Mamy? Hey.
Okay, we're gonna help
you get through this, okay?
Yeah. Have you picked out
a name for your baby yet?
[groans] Gaia.
Gaia. That's beautiful.
What does that mean?
It means the mother-- [groans]
The mother of all life.
Hey, look at me.
Look at me, okay?
You can do this, okay?
We're here for you, all right?
Okay, grab his hand.
-It's time to push, okay?
-[Mamy] I can't.
All right, it's time. All right?
Now. You got it.
-[screaming]
-You got it.
You got it, you got it!
One more. Come on, come on.
You got it. Come on, Mamy.
-[shouting]
-[sirens approaching]
There you go, there you go.
There you go. Come on,
one more, one more, you got it!
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[birds chirping]
[man speaking Italian]
[concierge speaking Italian]
Good morning, Mr. Foster.
-Morning.
-Your driver is waiting.
-Thank you.
-We are proud to have you
as our guest.
Grazie.
So do you know how they are?
I'm very sorry to tell you,
I called the hospital
and they informed me...
the mother died.
Her internal bleeding
was too severe,
and she was very weak.
And what about the baby girl?
They think she'll--
she'll make it.
No, but what happens to her now?
Authorities will
take care of her.
My car is over there.
We gotta go to the airport now.
[woman over PA]
This is the final call for
passengers Richard Foster
and Federico Costa
traveling to New York
on AirMass flight 1234.
-
-[beeping]
[office noise]
Thanks.
Alessandro.
-Alessandro.
-Good morning, Lisa.
I sent the press release
of Mr. Foster's stay in Italy
to your email.
-Perfect.
-The others are already
in the conference room.
-They're waiting for you.
-Anything else?
-Coffee?
-[laughs] Yes, of course. Sorry.
-Here you go.
-Thanks.
Hi, everybody.
Thanks a lot for your time.
So, you all read
Richard's email, right?
I saw the memo. How's he doing?
He's trying to
process what happens.
So what should we do with
next week's appointments?
Well, he was scheduled to have
lunch with the Undersecretary
of Defense on Monday.
-I've been working on this
meeting for over a month now.
-I know.
So, should I inform
the African Union
the meeting has been moved?
Everything is postponed,
at least for now.
Great. Thank you.
That's all for now.
Keep Richard in your thoughts.
Thank you.
[Richard] "Lampedusa is
a small Italian island that has
become a prime transit point
for irregular migrants
from Africa."
Lampedusa.
This is where we need to start.
[Fada] A big smile, everybody!
Ready?
[all cheering]
And now, let's play!
-[cheering]
-All together!
Happy birthday to Gaia!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
[Fada vocalizing]
Happy birthday
-[Gaia] Mommy!
-Happy birthday!
[Yulya] President,
the real problem is that
parents just aren't selling
their children like before.
As long as it came to
small, philanthropic activities,
it wasn't a problem.
Now he's getting too big, and...
and he doesn't seem
to want to stop.
It was enough for him to
announce the f*cking conference
to raise the price
of raw materials.
Asian countries fear this will
increase the cost of labor,
and the Western bloc
is not willing to
spend more on products.
[scoffs] Well, can you
calm them down and tell them
we're dealing with it?
[Carlos] But sir...
the system is in danger
of imploding.
Richard Foster.
Son of Edward Foster.
[scoffs] That's an apple
that fell far from the tree.
Edward saw our mission clearly.
He was a friend.
What a shame.
So...
what do we have on
the prodigal son?
Nothing. He's clean.
Any weaknesses?
We have tried in the past,
but found nothing.
Well, then,
clearly you have failed.
Everyone has a weakness.
It's just a matter of time
to find out what it is.
[beeping]
[moderator in French]
[speaking French]
May I answer that question
in English so I can
speak from the heart?
Sure.
Thank you.
These workshops are meant
to equip those who cannot
afford adequate education,
from children to adults,
to give them the resources
and the wherewithal
to pay off their debts,
and therefore break
the cycle of poverty.
We'll offer full scholarships
to prestigious universities
all around the world,
including, starting today,
this one.
[applause]
[beeping]
[engine idling]
Now it's time to sleep.
No, Fada, no!
How come you're never tired?
[Richard] Is it someone's
birthday today?
-Daddy!
-Hey! [laughs]
How was-- how was the party?
Did you have fun?
-Yes, Daddy, so much fun.
-[chuckles]
I'm sure you have
a lot to tell Daddy,
but remember,
tomorrow is a school day,
so don't stay up late.
Okay. [laughs]
[Richard grunts]
-Daddy.
-Mmm?
-Simba is coming apart.
-Aww.
Well, I guess we'll have to take
him to the stuffed toy hospital.
Thank you, Daddy!
-[smooching]
-[Gaia giggling]
Is this okay?
What about the feet?
[automated voice] Hello, Daddy!
You know you're my hero?
Why don't you give me
one more kiss before bedtime?
Daddy, did you hear that?
I did.
[smooching]
[energetic music]
[man] Ciao, Richard!
[music fades]
Is the doctor in?
Oh, Richard. Please, come in.
Hey, what's all this?
Oh, I've just ordered them.
Have to read, study,
and catalog each one.
Well, how many you got now?
I've lost track.
Let me get you some drink.
Yeah, sure.
How are things going
with the global conference?
They're great.
We're just about to announce it.
There are a lot of steps ahead,
but thankfully,
reinforcements are on the way.
Hey, when am I gonna try
this eggplant parmigiana
that you've been raving about?
If you have time,
in the next ten minutes.
Perfect. [chuckles]
[phone ringing]
Oh, sorry.
Hold on a sec.
[speaking Italian]
Uh-huh.
Anything I can help with?
Thank you, but I should be fine.
Uh, I think we will--
we have to save it
for the next time.
[Richard over video call]
We need the support
of at least 22 nations
plus the UN
for this to be a success.
[Gordon]
With Dr. Angels joining us
at the global conference,
the elite of the world economy
is with us.
[Alessandro]
And don't forget Dr. Hascker
the German who came close to
winning the Nobel Prize, twice.
And the children's rights table
is also complete,
and the AIBI Foundation
is supporting the project.
[Richard] That's great news.
Just strengthens
our credibility.
And how are you planning
to run the New York office?
Well, Xhang, I was hoping
that you'd be in charge
of the office in NYC.
It will be an honor for me.
Now, the rest of you,
you'll be with me in Lampedusa.
And Gordon, with everything
on your-- your plate right now,
you will still be a big help
working from home.
I'd like to come.
I mean, there's no point
in me being here.
They won't let me
talk to my son.
They won't let me hold him.
I wanna be useful.
I get it.
We'll book a ticket for you.
Thank you, everyone.
How is Gordon's son?
They thought they found
a donor, but then...
everything was called off.
He doesn't have much time left.
Please...
take care of him for me.
Take it easy, boss.
-[thunder rumbling]
-[rain pattering]
[solemn music]
[exhales]
[thunder rumbles]
[Lorenza] Gaia's asleep.
I'm leaving if
you don't need me anymore.
Thanks for staying so late,
Lorenza.
See you tomorrow.
Have a good night.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you so much, Lorenza.
[soft music playing]
[Fada giggles]
So, that's it.
We have a guest coming soon.
Mm-hmm.
-Finally.
-Yeah.
[Fada] Mmm.
I know this look.
I'm just...
[sighs]
Just makes me happy
to come home to you every day.
Well, when I first met you,
you didn't think so.
-You seemed not
really interested in me.
-[chuckles]
Yeah, you were Mr. Foster.
The boss.
-An as*h*le!
-Oh!
Yeah. I was just hoping, like,
you weren't like your father.
Thank God.
Is that why it took you six
months to go on a date with me?
Well, yeah. It was my strategy.
Oh, so it was
all just a game to you?
-Mm-hmm.
-Yeah?
I love the way you smell.
That's it?
Come here.
I'm so lucky.
You are everything.
This wouldn't work without you.
I wouldn't work without you.
[percussive music]
[Fada] Only yesterday
they started at
our creative workshop,
and now look at them.
Rock solid and ready for work.
[cheering]
[girls] Yay!
Gaia is so excited.
I hope I have a daughter
as sweet as yours one day.
[tsks]
Don't be fooled.
Behind those angel eyes,
-there is a devil hiding.
-[chuckles]
After the music, you bring out
the drinks for the children,
and welcome c*ck
that you prepare during
the musical performance.
-Pasquale, are you ready
for demonstration?
-[Pasquale] Okay.
-Can I ask you a question?
-Yeah, sure, go ahead.
Have you ever thought
of having a child of your own?
Gaia is our child.
[Francesca] Yes.
Of course.
I'm so sorry.
-I-- I mean--
-It's okay.
It's okay.
[sighs] Apparently I can't,
because of some
genetic abnormalities.
The chances are really slim.
I don't care.
God has other plans for me.
He has given me
a whole new life.
At least I was able to escape
my w*r-torn country.
Just like the thousands
of people who arrived here
every day on one of these boats.
Having Gaia has been
a joy I never expected.
[Gaia] Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!
I'm so excited.
-Are you happy?
-Yes.
Oh, me too, honey. I love you.
Mwah.
-[children laughing]
-[Rebecca] Christian, Sophie,
settle down!
Lunch is gonna be ready
in a few minutes.
-[Christian] Si!
-[Sophie] Si!
[door closes]
Hey.
Oh.
So you finally
decided to come home?
I love you too.
-[Christian] Papi, papi!
-Hey, hey, hey!
[Rebecca] Richard has been
trying to get a hold of you.
Said your phone's
been turned off?
Where have you been,
and who were you with?
Lesson number one:
this is called jealousy.
-Remember it.
-[laughs]
Oh, please, don't be silly.
He said to call him back
when you can.
And don't say I didn't tell you.
Now, I'm gonna eat you all,
little monsters!
One by one!
[children giggling]
[gentle music playing]
[Charles] We never had a chance.
And now...
we're trying to
make things work again.
[laughs]
No.
I have nothing more to say.
[Richard] Welcome to Lampedusa.
Oh, my God, Richard.
-Hello, my friend.
-Fada!
Hey.
-So nice to see you in person.
-[chuckling]
I'm really glad you're here.
Fada, you know,
even if he looks like
an average American tourist,
that's not the case.
We are here to change the world.
So let's hope that!
-Let's go. I'll take that.
-Oh, thank you.
Lampedusa!
-[ethereal music]
-[beeping]
[foreboding music]
[camera beeping]
[camera shutter clicks]
[seabirds squawking]
[applause]
I can't thank you enough for
being a part of this journey.
And a special thanks
to Rocco for securing
these abandoned offices.
They're not
the New York office, but...
there's enough space, and
I think they'll do the trick.
As long as it's bright enough,
it's fine with me.
[all chuckling]
Now we have to
hit the ground running.
We have worked so hard,
and here now
is the starting point
for the next chapter.
I am-- [chuckles]
I can't tell you
how excited I am.
To us. To friendship.
To Global Harmony.
May God bless us,
and may we never forget
why we're here.
[woman] Oh.
-[applause]
-Wow.
[Fada] Whoo!
[cheering, laughing]
To Global Harmony! [laughs]
[uptempo music]
[serene music]
[music turns ominous]
[car horn honks]
Listen, I got to go now, okay?
No. It's not some excuse.
[knocking at door]
Somebody's knocking at my door.
I got to go now.
[Rocco] Sorry. Maybe it's
not the right time, ma'am.
Rocco. Come in, please.
I just came to see if
any of you need anything, so.
No. Everything okay.
Everything fine, yeah.
-Okay.
-Oh, I want to
hang this painting.
Andrew Wyeth.
Ah, Wind From the Sea.
-I love this painting.
-[Esther] Yeah?
It gives me a sense of freedom.
It's my favorite. I love it.
If you have something that
I can do for you, tell me.
Oh, yes.
[clears throat]
[both laughing]
[Gaia] Ring, ring. Hello?
[Richard] Hello, is this Gaia?
[Gaia] Yes.
-No, me!
-[Richard laughs]
Bedtime in five minutes, okay?
-Okay.
-Okay.
What's going on?
It was so weird...
I was walking,
and this car was behind me.
-Did you see the driver?
-No.
The glass was tinted.
Well, maybe they were
checking you out. [chuckles]
Look, um...
if it makes you feel any better,
we can go to the police.
-Maybe...
-Maybe I just overreacted.
[sighs shakily]
[Muzak playing]
[beeping]
What about a croissant?
Perfect.
We'll grab it at the bakery.
It will be
a true Italian breakfast.
Well, don't forget the Negroni.
-And sigaro.
-[Richard chuckles]
[ominous music]
Hey.
Do you think those two
are watching us?
Who?
Those two over there.
Probably just recognized me
from magazine covers.
Oh, so you think you're famous
now, Mr. Foster?
Well, of course.
[seabird squawking]
[Alessandro] Gordon.
What are you doing here?
The ambassador
postponed our meeting,
so no departure for Rome today.
We'll have news
in the next few days.
Okay.
Oh. Good morning.
-This is, um--
-John Anderson with NSD News.
-Welcome.
-We were contacted
a few days ago
for a story on
the global conference,
and so I told them to come here
once they got to the island.
Perfect timing. Maybe...
maybe we can organize it for...
later this afternoon?
-It's my lucky day.
-Perfect.
I'll call Richard.
Okay.
[Alessandro] Welcome.
[children chattering]
[children cheering, laughing]
[Gaia giggles]
Daddy,
what do you do for a living?
You don't know
what I do for work?
Come on.
We talk about it all the time.
I know, but tomorrow I have
to take an object to school
that represents your work.
What should I bring?
[chuckles]
[child] Whoo!
Whoo! Yeah!
-Bring a kite.
-A kite?
Yeah, exactly. See?
Kites, they fly through the air,
free, like a bird.
That's what I try
to do with work.
To help as many people
live as freely as they can.
Awesome.
[John] Last question.
Why Lampedusa?
Lampedusa is
so far south in Italy,
it's technically
closer to Africa.
It literally is the bridge
between these two continents,
which is the embodiment
of what we're trying to do here
with Global Harmony.
[Kim] Great. I think we got it.
[John] Perfect.
That was absolutely fantastic.
Thank you.
Well.
-[Kim] Do you--
-Oh, yeah.
Is that her?
Gaia?
Yes, it is.
She's very beautiful.
You can tell she's very happy.
-Have we met before?
-No, I don't think so.
Would you care to join us
for a glass of local wine?
No, thank you. We need to
pack up and start editing.
They're waiting for the footage.
-Thank you.
-Thank you for your time.
Are you coming with us?
No, guys, I'm gonna stay here
and take care of a few things.
Okay.
All right,
we'll see you tomorrow.
Later.
[gentle music]
Listen...
can I ask you something?
Please, tell me.
Uh-- Oh, thank you.
Grazie.
How is possible that
a man like you lives alone?
[sighs] Well,
it was, uh, ten years ago.
It was my birthday.
And my wife Marta decided
she had enough of me, so...
well, simply, she left me.
She met tourists
and she went away with this--
with her new prince
with his white horse.
Actually, it was not a horse.
It was a yacht.
Well, anyways,
ever since that day, I never
thought about women anymore.
Really?
I only care about
art, culture...
and fishing.
Yeah, that snapper
you are having now,
they cooked for us,
but I caught it.
I hope you enjoy it.
Yes, it's delicious.
Thank you.
Mmm.
Listen, would you like
to ask me something?
-No.
-No?
-Not really.
-No.
No, this island taught me
not to force things,
and, uh...
I hope we'll have time.
So, please.
To time.
[chuckles] Yes.
-[Fada] It's my turn now.
-[Gaia] Okay.
-Ah! It's blue.
-Pink!
-No, pink.
-Okay.
Ah.
-Hey.
-Oh, pink again.
Great news.
Patricia just graduated
from Princeton.
Remind me again who's Patricia?
She's one of the
scholarship kids from Peru.
The one that plays the guitar.
-Ah! She was so sweet.
-[Richard] Yeah.
It's wonderful news, isn't it?
She send you a picture?
She sure did. You wanna see?
Wow!
Can we put it with the others?
[chuckles] Of course. Come on.
[kisses]
[Rocco in Italian]
[John] Are you
the security guard?
Yeah. Can't you see it?
I live here in front of
the office. They're friends.
This is private property.
Of course. Uh, I'm John Anderson
and this is Kim Campbell.
We're reporters.
-We interviewed
Dr. Foster yesterday.
-[Rocco] Mm-hmm.
[Kim] Uh, our office called.
We really need to be
getting back to the States
for another story.
No time to enjoy the island.
We're running late.
We just wanted to get
this envelope to Dr. Foster.
What's this about?
It's a report that'll be
helpful for the conference.
Data insights on child labor.
Can we leave this envelope with
you? It would be much safer.
Me?
Okay, sure.
That's very kind of you.
Thank you.
We have an early flight
to catch.
Thanks again.
[rock music
playing over speakers]
[beeping]
[line ringing]
Hey, buddy.
Hi, Dad.
Now, don't strain yourself.
I just called to say
I love you and I'm fine here.
Actually, everything's great.
Listen,
I don't want you to worry.
I'm here working on getting
your transplant quicker.
-[Josh] Sure.
-I promise.
[Jennifer on phone] UN General
Assembly President's Office.
How can I help you, Alessandro?
[Alessandro] Well, Jennifer,
we were really excited about
your interest in the project,
but we still haven't received
a reply to our email.
Did you get
the chance to read it?
[Jennifer] I don't see any
emails regarding your Global
Harmony Initiative project.
Please, check.
It's from McGregor.
Gordon McGregor.
Sorry, there's no emails
from him either.
I see.
Maybe there are
some problem with the server.
I understand,
but the UN General Assembly
has a long waiting period.
[Alessandro] Sure.
I'll check
and I'll call you back.
Okay, thank you.
Gordon?
[Gordon] Just a moment.
Let me check.
Seems impossible.
No, they're right.
It didn't go out.
f*ck!
How's this even possible?
I don't know. I'm sorry.
You know, I-- I apologize.
f*ck sorry, Gordon. f*ck sorry!
I've been working
all month on this with
the president's office.
I can't believe
that this happened!
I'm sorry.
Tell me what you want me to do.
You've done enough already,
okay? You've done enough.
Listen...
I'm totally lost
because of my son.
You could talk to Richard,
you know?
If you wanna go home to be
with Josh, he'll understand.
You can still help us
from New York.
No. I can't.
I can't. I have to stay.
[knock at door]
Whoa!
Something smells delicious.
Join me.
No, thank you.
I just stopped by to say hi.
Alessandro's waiting for me.
Come on, Richard.
Take a seat. Just a minute.
[chuckles] Okay, okay.
So...
how are things going?
[Richard] Things are good.
Yeah, planning for
the conference is underway.
We're happy.
No, but I mean...
Have you noticed
something strange?
Any unusual activities
around you or your office?
Why do you ask?
Two journalists.
Foreign journalists, American.
Does that ring a bell?
Well, yeah. I just did
an interview with 'em.
Hmm.
I met them.
Last night, nearby your offices.
Did you?
Something stinks.
Maybe it's the fish.
They gave me
that envelope for you.
Grazie.
Well, wait.
Don't you open it?
Well, if it's a b*mb, I don't
wanna blow up your lunch.
[chuckles] I'll open it later.
Ciao.
Thank you. Bye.
So, do you think we should throw
away these plastic bottles?
Hmm?
[children chattering]
No is the right answer.
We don't throw this away.
We recycle them, and then magic.
We have new plastic that
we can use to make new things.
Any ideas?
You have ten minutes to
come up with new ideas.
-Okay?
-[children] Si!
You didn't pay attention to me.
What are you doing?
It's for my daddy.
Today is his birthday.
I want to surprise him.
Oh, can I see?
[foreboding music]
I really don't see the point.
Why interview me?
I mean, why come here?
-All the way here?
-Maybe--
maybe they wanna
talk some sense into you.
Talk sense?
They barely spoke to us.
They wanna stop you,
make you give up.
What do you plan to do now?
I don't know.
Just, please, don't tell anyone.
I need time to think about it.
It's not the first time,
and it won't be the last.
You know that.
-There's a meeting
that I need to get to.
-Richard.
Do you ever think about
what we're doing?
I mean, look where we are.
Look where we've come to.
Maybe--
maybe we don't realize that
what we are doing is really...
revolutionary.
Please, keep your eyes open.
[door closes]
It's not that simple, Richard.
It's more complicated
than it looks.
-What do you mean?
-Um...
It's a clear warning.
We know where you are,
who you're with...
and we can hit you at any time.
It's definitely
a reaction to your project.
To the global conference.
So what should I do?
Keep a low profile.
Observe a lot...
and talk little.
[ominous music]
She's very beautiful.
[music intensifies]
Hey, Marina,
did you see Gaia come out?
No. Let's ask her teacher.
Rosaria.
Um, I didn't see Gaia come out.
She was with the others.
Well, I'm pretty sure
I didn't see her come out.
Maybe she left with a friend.
No, she wouldn't do that without
telling me. She never does.
Hey, did you see Gaia?
Did you see if Gaia came out?
-Gaia? Is that her?
-No.
Listen, my daughter is not here,
and it's your job
to keep them safe.
I'm sorry, but...
the drawing.
What? What drawing?
She was drawing a present
for your birthday.
Maybe she's still in the class.
Oh, God. Hey! Hey. [laughs] Hey.
Daddy, this is for you.
[chuckles] Okay, baby.
Oh, baby.
Hey. You scared Daddy. Okay?
You wanna go home?
-Ready?
-Okay.
Come on.
[birds chirping]
Hey, honey.
How are you today?
I need to talk to you.
What's wrong?
[sniffles]
Uh...
You didn't overreact.
Someone is actually
trying to scare us.
What's going on?
Some people posed as reporters,
and they gave Rocco
an envelope of photos.
What kind of photos?
These.
[ominous music building]
You're, uh...
You're not safe here.
It's not safe
for you to be here.
I think you and Gaia
need to go away for a while.
At least until the conference.
Just wait a second.
Do you really think
they are dangerous?
They just try to scare us.
Don't stop.
They are afraid, Richard.
You're right.
I love you.
[seabirds squawking]
[beeping]
Now, the police commissioner
told me he sent some of his men
to work undercover
on the premises.
This is for our safety.
[Esther] Hmm.
Great. Just what we need.
Don't joke about it.
[scoffs] Listen...
it's not the first time
that we've been threatened.
They just want to scare us.
Yes, well, we really need
to give that some thought.
Seriously. I mean, in the past,
you know, we didn't really
step on anybody's toes.
But now we've gone
a lot further.
Am I the only one seeing this?
The danger is real, Richard.
And believe me, these guys
aren't playing around.
Gordon, we still don't
know who's behind this.
Ha!
Doesn't make me feel any better.
You're right.
Everyone here is free to decide
whether they wanna continue
or go back to New York.
And that being said...
we're just steps from our goal.
I mean, this is it.
And this is not the time
for me to back down.
So I ask you
to answer honestly...
are you willing to carry on?
With the increase
of globalization,
international affairs
have become more important,
but also more complicated.
We'll have a better look
at that later on.
For now, just go over chapters
seven, eight, and nine again.
That's it for today.
See you next Tuesday. Thanks.
What are you doing here?
I thought you had
to play the bridesmaid.
Yep, but the class
was without the teacher.
I had to sub for Fada.
Nobody's seen her and they can't
get through to her by phone.
I can see why they were
focused on the lesson.
Ha-ha, idiot.
I have to get going now.
-Oh, God.
-Hi!
I forgot your brother's
wedding was today
and I was supposed to cover you.
Please forgive me.
It's okay, it happens, but I
really have to get out of here.
Yeah, I know. Go, go, please!
Sorry!
Yeah, I know.
I have my head
in the clouds a little bit.
Don't worry.
Everything's under control.
Thank you.
-See you.
-See you.
Almost 250 guests are
coming from around the world.
I've placed them in
various hotels on the island,
but some of them
asked for houses by the sea.
-Can you help?
-Yes!
We have several
places available.
Let's look at this.
Oh, oh, oh. That's beautiful.
-We can make appointment
for next week.
-Thank you so much.
-Uh-huh.
-Thank you.
Here you are.
-Thank you very much. Goodbye.
-Have a lovely day.
Richard.
-Apologies.
-For what?
Well, things have been
a bit chaotic for me, and...
if you still need me,
I'm here for you.
We'd have never thought
of Global Harmony without you.
Thank you.
Richard! Sorry.
Sorry, you didn't tell me
nothing about the envelope.
What was in it?
Just photos of some
of the children we've helped.
So nothing to worry about.
No, they really were reporters.
Okay. All the better.
Thanks, sir. See you. Bye.
Bye-bye.
Is that official?
We are delighted.
I'll send you the documents
to sign as soon as possible.
Great. I'll call you back.
Hey, hey, hey. This is it.
[on recording]
The African Union has approved
our project, my friend.
They are going to fund
the construction of our
sustainable creative workshops.
[Richard]
We are getting additional--
It is evident that
the plan is not working.
The photos were not enough.
The organizations I represent
need a definite,
concrete solution.
Do you know this island?
Lampedusa?
Yes.
It is an important hub for
immigration flows from Africa.
This island is a symbol.
Correct.
But there's more.
It's a wonderful place.
Wonderful sea.
A place with a slow
and unchanging flavor.
I think Mr. Foster
is out of context.
He brings too much chaos,
don't you think?
[chuckles]
The time has come...
to take the island back.
The world will thank us.
-[foreboding music]
-[beeping]
Daddy, Daddy!
Morning, monkey.
Were you able to
pick up my teddy bear?
Mm-hmm, I got it.
So where's my Simba?
[chuckles] Okay.
You know what to do, right?
I have to press
the button, and...
That's right. Come on.
-[car beeps]
-[locks click]
[ominous whooshing]
-[Richard over PA] Who is it?
-[Kim] I have a delivery
for Dr. Foster.
[Richard] I'm on my way.
Ahh! [vocalizing]
Bum, bum.
Whoa!
[gate whirring]
Daddy, Daddy.
[Lorenza] Dr. Foster.
Alessandro is on the phone.
He says it's important.
[Richard] Alessandro.
We f*ck' did it. All set.
Wow.
This is a present for me?
[giggles]
John, stop the timer.
It's the girl!
f*ck! I can't, I can't!
[Gaia] Daddy, Daddy!
-No! Gaia, no!
-[explosions booms]
[intense, plaintive music]
[church bell chimes]
[Rosaria] It is impossible to
find the right words to say
in a moment as painful as this.
Gaia.
So special.
So kind.
So beautiful.
[sniffles]
Your classmate, your friends...
they have placed your name
on your empty seat.
And you will be always with us.
Goodbye, little angel.
[solemn music]
[Richard weeping]
I, uh...
I should've known.
It's-- it's all my fault.
It's-- it's my fault she's dead.
[exhales]
[Fada] It's not your fault.
We both decided how to proceed.
[automated voice] Hello, Daddy!
You know you're my hero?
Why don't you give me
one more kiss before bedtime?
-[crashing]
-[Richard screams]
[sobbing]
In New York City,
where Dr. Richard Foster
is a city favorite
-and where Global Harmony
headquarters is...
-[phone vibrates]
...the population
has gathered on
the streets today
expressing their
profound shock.
Meanwhile, the President
of the Italian Republic
has stated his position
on the tragic events,
expressing his condolences
and solidarity.
You, uh-- you'll have to
see the conference through.
I-- I'm sorry, I can't.
[inhales shakily]
All I wanted to do
was help people.
And yet I-- I couldn't
even protect Gaia.
[Fada sobbing]
[Richard sobbing]
[boat motor rumbling]
[man] Sorry, guys.
Nothing personal.
-[g*nshots]
-[woman screams]
[tense music]
[president] Do you think
he's gonna be a problem?
-[Yulya] No.
-The problem remains
the conference.
This little girl's bullshit.
Now the entire world
is talking about it.
They made Foster
and his team even stronger,
but with nothing more to lose.
They asked us to give them
a signal, we gave it.
Of course, a poor little girl
got involved, but, uh...
who really cares?
Hundreds of them die each day
without anyone saying anything.
So let's focus on the result.
Some heads of state
have already given up.
Others sent a delegation.
You know what that means?
It just means
they're trying to save face.
[boat motors rumbling]
[beeping]
[Alessandro in Italian]
[commissioner in Italian]
Excuse me, Alessandro.
We're ready for you now.
And also,
Gordon did not answer his phone.
I'm coming.
[in Italian]
Philanthropic organizations,
wealthy families, governments,
but also ordinary people
are supporting our project.
Any questions?
Erik Staller, GNN.
Within a couple of hours,
many important guests
have canceled
their participation
in your conference.
How do you explain that? And how
will that affect your project?
Our project starts
with this conference,
but it doesn't end here.
And many people
will participate.
Lorraine Moore, CBC.
How will you proceed
with the conference?
Thanks for the question.
Given the terrible events,
we've been forced to review
locations and procedures.
We've set up
a private discussion table
at the City Hall
so we can explain in detail
the Global Harmony project to
the conference participants.
The only thing that is unchanged
is the final conference
at Piazza Castello,
where we present the results.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot for coming.
[poignant music building]
[Gaia] Daddy, Daddy! Wait!
Daddy!
[Richard] Gaia!
[gasps]
[panting]
[Alessandro]
I tried to call Gordon several
times, but he didn't answer.
It's crazy. We--
we are falling apart.
It's just me and Esther
in charge of everything.
Luckily we have the support
of the local community
and government agencies.
Babe, you just
have to grit your teeth.
I know.
[clicks tongue]
Too bad most of the heads
of the states
we are counting on have--
have dropped out.
They made official statements
claiming they are not available.
I know you'll do great
without them.
Christian, Sophie,
come say hello to Daddy.
Hello, darlings. How you doing?
When will you be back, Dad?
[speaking Italian]
For sure. I miss you all.
We miss you too.
I've got to get going.
Be in touch soon.
-I love you.
-[Alessandro] I love you too.
[tender music]
[Rocco] And, uh...
can't you hear it?
What?
The breath of the sea.
Sciavuru dei mari, the smell!
Without all this,
I'd be out of breath.
So much happened
since I got here.
But... I never imagine how much.
You know this,
and I will never forget.
Thanks to you.
Did I say something wrong?
No, no, sorry.
It's me. It's me. Yes.
Just, it's such a long time.
Now...
now I smile again.
[door creaks]
[Alessandro] Gordon.
What's going on?
What's happened here?
I'm leaving.
Back to New York?
My son has surgery in a few days
and I need to be there with him.
That's incredible.
That's great news. But...
he was tenth on the list, right?
Maybe there is something else,
isn't there?
You know, you guys are
so much stronger than I am.
Alessandro, the email?
It wasn't a mistake.
They told me what to do,
every move and every detail.
Later.
You have five minutes.
We only need two.
[tense music]
It was the only chance
for me to save my son's life,
and they promised me
in a few months
that he'd be number one
on the transplant list
if I helped to
sabotage the conference.
-You must be drunk.
You must be drunk.
-I was desperate.
You piece of sh*t.
You betrayed me.
You betrayed all of us!
You don't know what it's like
to see your son lying
on a hospital bed, dying.
Not being able to talk to him,
-not being able to
be there for him.
-No, no, no, Gordon! No!
You won't make me feel guilty.
You ended a little girl's life.
And that little girl
is gone now!
You think I don't know
that it wasn't for me,
that none of this
would've happened?
It's as if I k*lled her myself.
And that goes through my mind
every second of the f*cking day.
And that I will
never forgive myself for.
Gordon.
What's going on?
-What happened here?
-I'm leaving.
Back to New York?
My son has surgery in a few days
and I need to be there with him.
That's incredible.
That's great news.
Does Richard know
you're leaving?
No, nobody knows.
I just thought I'd leave a note.
A note? A f*cking note?
Ha. Alessandro, please.
Look at me.
Look at my f*cking face.
I'm not myself anymore.
[chuckles]
My son has a chance to live now.
Come here.
I'm sorry, man.
-Forgive me.
-It's okay.
Really. It's okay.
[exhales]
The people are with us.
When people buy a cheap phone,
it is with us.
When they buy an SUV
in installments, it is with us.
When they take a trip to
a place they cannot afford,
it is with us.
Everyone lives
beyond their means,
and to do so, there is a price
that someone else has to pay.
Everyone knows this.
So to wash their conscience,
they want to
believe in something.
God.
Politics.
Or Richard Foster.
But the reality is,
they're kind of like a drunk.
Try to take the last glass
out of a drunkard's hand.
He may also be your best friend,
but he will do anything
for one more sip,
even though it's never
gonna be the last one.
The truth is,
people want to be like us.
-[speaking Italian]
-[beeping]
[overlapping chatter]
...the setup of the conference
for Global Harmony...
After many days
of hard work and meetings,
which, for security reasons,
were accessible only to
participating delegations,
in just a few hours,
we'll witness one of the most
critically important...
[on TV] ...moments in
modern world history.
Most of the world's
greatest minds are gathered
right here behind me
to conclude and present
the outcomes of this
conference.
The real question
on everybody's mind is,
will Richard Foster
be attending the conference?
We'll be covering
the whole event and keeping
you updated on the latest--
[Fada] I need
to tell you something.
Don't...
tell me I have to do this.
I can't.
I can't get up on stage
and pretend that
nothing's gonna stop us.
Especially when everything's
just been taken away from us.
You need to be with yourself.
Let yourself
sit with the pain...
which is also my pain.
But when something
is missing inside,
only you can know
what's missing.
No one,
not even those who love you
more than themselves,
can actually help you.
[Richard exhales]
I'm here for you.
[hopeful music swells]
We are here for you.
It's happening.
A miracle has happened.
Yeah. I know.
[laughs, sobs] I know.
Finally.
[clears throat]
Many of the countries
have already signed
the Global Harmony Pledge,
and we are ready to start
analysis works in 22 countries.
And, also...
the fundraising pledges
are skyrocketing
-from all around the world!
-Oh, my God!
[laughing]
Wait one minute.
Wait one minute.
-Great.
-Listen, yeah, we are close.
Um, maybe we should call him.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no one has
the right to force him.
No, he did too much.
I know, Rocco,
but people want him.
They want him. They--
I can't believe it.
[Rocco] What? What's going on?
The UN exploratory committee
approved our project draft.
They are waiting for
a Global Harmony delegation
to discuss the operational
terms of our requests!
[laughs] That's incredible!
Guys, that's incredible!
-Ah, you see? The guy is gone!
-[all laughing]
[microphone feedback screeches]
[audience applauding]
[applause stops]
[low, stirring music]
I don't exactly know...
why I'm standing here...
today.
After all that's happened.
After my daughter's passing,
nothing makes sense.
She's all I can think about,
and I am...
left consumed with the...
inexpressible feeling of...
despair
and hopelessness.
I see you all today,
and I realize that...
no economic power,
no political power,
no t*rror1st forces,
will ever be able to stop the
collective demand for justice,
equity, and human dignity,
which is the fundamental right
of every human being
in every corner of the world.
Our fight begins here and now.
[sniffles]
I owe it to you, Gaia.
To our family.
Because there is hope.
There will always be hope.
[applause, cheering]
["Somewhere In Time"
by Bruno Sacchi playing]
I never hope
You're my angel
But I'm not afraid
I never thought
Of being late
I was pale under the rose
And my heart was breaking
Somewhere in time
We'll laugh about
The sorrow
Somewhere in time
We'll make it anywhere
Somewhere in time
We'll laugh about the miles
And pray
Somewhere in time
We'll make it to the end
I'm dressed in purple
Feeling gray
I never hope
You're my angel
But I'm not afraid
Somewhere in time
Over the time
Somewhere in time
We'll laugh about
The sorrow
Somewhere in time
We'll make it anywhere
Somewhere in time
We'll laugh about the miles
And pray
Somewhere in time
We'll make it to the end
My heart was breaking
Over the time
Over the time
I'm dressed in purple
Feeling gray
I never hope
You're my angel
But I'm not afraid
I never thought
Of being late
I was pale under the rose
Then my heart was breaking
Somewhere in time
We'll laugh about
The sorrow
Somewhere in time
We'll make it anywhere
Somewhere in time
We'll laugh about the miles
And pray
Somewhere in time
We'll make it to the end
