02x03 - Comings Together

[bunniefuu]

Raffaele, no.

No, stop, stop.

Nish, run!

No, no.

Anything else?

Well, there's the garden...

at the Abbey Cervara,

which is definitely
worth a visit.

Uh...

they have the most wonderful

citrus trees, a-an orchard,
it smells simply divine.

Goodness.

I'm so sorry. Would you
excuse me for one moment?

Welcome.

Oh, Signor Danioni.

Signora Ainsworth.

- Gosh.
- Yeah, I know. She's a beauty.

Well, corruption must be
a very profitable business

in Portofino.

Come on.

Unfortunately, the
lady's not mine.

Oh. So, what is the
lady doing here?

She's giving me a lift.

And jolly decent to her,
too, wouldn't you say?

Do you know the
owner of the car?

Yes, a business
associate of mine.

Pretty big wheel in
these parts, eh, Danioni?

He is.

Ah, well, best not
keep him waiting.

- Please.
- Oh, thank you. Bye-bye dear.

Arrivederci.

Good Lord.

Ah.

Buon giorno. Prego.

The last time I visited
an Italian casino,

some bandit robbed me
blind of 20,000 Lira.

Let's hope our visit today
will be more profitable.

- I'll drink to that.
- Ah...

Age before beauty, old man.

Goodness gracious me.

What is it, Billy?

This photo.

What about it?

- Well, don't you recognise him?
- No. Should I?

That's the bloke who gave
Mr Sengupta the pamphlets.

The ones you hid under
Lady Latchmere's bed?

Yes. Can you read it?

I'll give it a go.

Bombaroli... um, police hunt
bombers in Turin, maybe,

and something about an
assassination attempt.

Un ten-tato assass-in-io.

Assassination. Oh,
that's not good then.

No.

What do you want?

No, no, no. It's
alright, it's alright.

You cut me again, you klutz,

and it won't be
me who's bleeding.

You understand? Capiche?

Gentlemen, welcome to paradise.

Huh? Let show you
around. Come on.

How's the-how's the car,
come pick you up okay?

Uh, very nice.

- Yeah?
- Yes.

Pretty nice, huh, you know
how much that cost me?

I'm not gonna tell you.
It's gonna make you blush.

Something else, huh?

Sure beats Detroit, huh?

Oh, are you, are you a native of
that great metropolis, Mr Farrino?

Cecil, I told you,
huh, you call me Lou.

But yeah, yeah, I was born
and raised in Hamtramck,

though, my folks,
they're from Syracuse,

which, uh, makes me a proper
guinea, don't it, Danioni?

Yeah, a true Italian.

Well, uh, Lou, you...

you certainly seem to be
spending a pretty penny

on the place.

Er, well, you're too kind,
but, uh, no, no, it's not me.

Please. I represent the
interest of certain, uh,

business people back
home in Motor City.

Ah, of course.

Yeah. You gotta, you gotta
spend a little to make a little.

Ain't that what they say?

- Sounds familiar.
- Yeah.

So, gentlemen, to business.

Now, my employers,

they've instructed me to pass
on their heartfelt thanks

for the part that you have
played in establishing links

- to the Ross Cannon Distillery.
- Oh.

So happy are they in fact,

that they would like to propose
an expansion... forthwith.

Uh, by, by, by
how much, exactly?

Tenfold. A hundred,
you name it.

America is dry, gentlemen,
and America is thirsty.

I'm telling you, there
is unlimited demand

for whiskey as downright
drinkable as this one.

Err, Ross Cannons is a...
is a cottage industry.

I'm not sure they could
manage 1,000 gallons a month,

let alone... 20.

Hmm.

Well...

just find someone who can.

Yeah.

But don't, don't we rather risk
drawing attention to ourselves

with the Canadian Coast Guard
and the US Border Authority?

Well...

that's not really for you to
worry about now, is it, Cecil?

But I appreciate your
concern. I tell you what,

we will pay a dollar
above the agreed price

for every bottle that
we manage to import.

And that, my friend, is
a very generous offer.

I don't like being
disappointed, Cecil.

- -You bring me good news.
- Yes.

Come on.

Don't smile at me,
move a little faster.

Tell me you have a bright idea.

Pick that up, come on.
Where is everybody, huh?

Thank you so much.

Oh, thank you, darling.

- Are you having fun, Barton?
- Yeah.

This recipe that Mrs Ainsworth
gave me for melan... melan...

Zane.

Melanzane a la...

ah, it's gone, it's
gone, it's gone, love.

Parmigiana.

Melanzane a la parmi-whatsit, I,
I can't make head nor tail of it.

- Can I help?
- Oh.

I'm just hot and bothered.
I think I will step outside,

get a breath of fresh air
before we make a start.

Parmigiana de melanz...

Oh, I wanted to
apologise... for last night.

I took the most
unpardonable liberty.

I didn't come to
talk about that.

- Well, who gave you that?
- Billy found it.

I've done my best to
make out what it says.

One of the guards was injured
and the bombers have escaped.

Well, I'll be damned.
Who would've thought it?

- Billy was worried, Sir.
- Sir?

I rather think
we're at the point

where you might call
me Lucian, Constance.

Billy was worried,
Lucian, that Mr Sengupta,

that he might have got
himself involved in something.

Nish? No, you can't...

you can't possibly
think that he's...

I don't know what to think.

Hey, hey! What are you doing?

Are you stealing
my cutlery again?

Turn out your pockets!

Oh, you Italians
with your horse meat

and, and your silly coffees!

Peacock!

What, is, is he
badmouthing me, Paola?

Out. I want you
out of my kitchen.

What is the matter, Betty?

He is a thief.

What's all the fuss about?

A misunderstanding.

Here you go, Ma.

Will you be alright, Betty?

I'll be fine.

Just give me a minute.

Oh...

Paola?

Si?

Did you do this?

Not me.

Oh.

Paola.

You know, I never met a
man in trade who I liked.

Well, who has?

I'm not even sure if
they like themselves.

My point is, pay no heed
to the doom mongers.

The sky is the limit
for the market.

You sound awfully bullish.

Better a bull than
a bear, old man.

Gentlemen, I'm terribly sorry.

Might I ask you to move indoors?

Whatever for?

Uh, we've had a
complaint about the noise

from one of the guests. Poor Miss
Dodsworth is trying to sleep.

I ought to be turning in anyway.

Oh, well goodnight, old boy.

- Yes, goodnight.
- I am sorry.

Goodnight.

What are you doing?

The bloody cheek of it!

It's very late.

That fellow was giving me some
very useful tips on stocks.

- You fetid little busybodies.
- Shh, they're listening.

Come on, they're a
couple of nobodies.

Nobodies who might very well

be working for one of
the most influential

and respected tourist guides.

You're sure it's them?

No, not entirely.

But, Cecil, a bad
review could ruin us.

And I'm not prepared
to take the risk

to indulge your appetites.

My appetites?

What, give me my whiskey back.

Um, oh, right.

Cecil, I've been thinking about
what you've said, by the way.

Any particular bit?

Um, about being more ambitious.

Oh, yes?

Whatever happened to
don't lecture me?'

Oh, well, if you're going to be
petty, then I'm really not...

Oh Bella, please, for
God's sake, I'm sorry.

Come and sit down.

Did you really mean
what you said about...

about paying for everything?

Yes, I-I meant every word.

Then, I may need to take you
up on your peace offering.

What?

Darling, this-this is
absolutely wonderful.

Heddon knows this chap in
London who you did the rebuild

at the Royal Corinthian...
- Oh, no, no, Cecil,

I don't want any of your
British blow-ins. No.

It has to Bonacini.

- Really?
- Yes, he's the man for the job.

Danioni implied he was a pinko.

Well, that's recommendation
enough for me.

Are you sure he's up to it?

- Up to it?
- Yeah.

He ran one of the biggest architectural
companies in Milan for years.

- He came highly recommended.
- And then what's he doing

hanging around here,
aside from the obvious?

Well, he wanted a quieter life.

- You see, he's an artist.
- You mean he couldn't hack it.

He's extremely passionate about
what he does. He's very committed.

And if you spent a moment with
him, you'd see his genius.

Really.

I hazard you've been
spending rather longer

in his company than that.

It's him or no one.

Goodnight.

- Buon giorno.
- Buon giorno.

Morning.

Bellisima, Giornata.

Uh, in English please.

Henry...

stop.

Expect... my phone call...

at 9PM

on the first of the month.

Stop.

Bella.

Grazie.

Oh, buon giorno.

Signora Ainsworth.

You have a minute?

Because I'm, uh, expecting
a visit from your friend.

Should be here
actually any time.

Signor Bonacini?

Ah, my architect. Yes.

Uh...

He's your architect?

- Yes.
- Ah.

Anyway, that's what
your husband told me.

Cecil?

Yeah, Cecil.

We were talking and
actually he was informing me

about your plans to...

how you say to, that
you want to make

bigger your hotel, right?
- The extension.

-Yeah.
-Why would Cecil be discussing this with you?

Simply because you
will require a permit.

Oh yes, of course. Silly me.

Um, and no doubt it
will be your office

that has to issue that permit

at terrific additional expense.

You are comfortingly consistent.

- Mr Ainsworth.
- Billy.

What can I do you for?

You can, uh... you can
come with me for a moment.

Right, to start I'd
like you to tell me

what you know about this.

I don't know nowt about it, Sir.

I just recognised
this face, that's all.

You know who he is,
don't you, Billy?

No. Not especially.

You know people in
town who might, though.

Happen I do.

Right, well then, I would like
you to ask them about this for me.

And about Mr Sengupta,
specifically.

Okay.

Hey.

I need you to take
me to Antonio.

- Looking for this guy.
- I know where he is.

Yeah? We can go now?

- Now?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, I can't help feeling
slightly concerned about

what you've dragged
me into, Danioni.

What I have dragged you into?

That's what I said. Yes.

So, let me understand.

You are saying
that it was my idea

to sell this to the
Americans, right?

That's what you're saying.

Alright. That was me.

But you're the one who made
such a bloody song and dance

about your connections
over there.

Well, tell me, what did you
expect, Signor Ainsworth?

Well, not a powdered
thug like Farrino.

Maybe, I pretend to send
the necessary letters.

Make the necessary calls.

We come back in a week or two
and say, sorry, no, can do.

But, we'd love to continue
our current arrangement.

Wait a moment.

And listen carefully,
Signor Ainsworth.

That would be really foolish.

These are not
people to say no to.

I'm a respectable man, Danioni.

I can't have rivers of dirty
money sloshing through my affairs.

Unlike your friends in the mob,

I don't have a casino
to launder it through.

But you do own a hotel.

- What?
- Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no.

Just under half a hotel,
strictly speaking.

And there's no way I can slip
something like that past my wife.

Then you should
make her see sense.

Oh? And how do you
propose I do that?

Well, the same way
that every other man

gets his wife to
do what he wants.

Find a way.

Oh, go on then, tell
her what you told me.

Mr Sengupta, he were involved.

Well, he was more than involved.
He was caught up in the blast.

They say he's injured.

Where is he? In Turin?

- They smuggled him out.
- To where?

My friend heard a
whisper it's close by.

Do you know the place?

I've been rabbiting there.

Could-would you come
with us, please?

He-he might need
medical attention.

-I can ask.
-No, please don't. Nobody else can know.

Tomorrow is my day off.

Alright, we'll go first thing,
when everybody's at church.

Alright?

Lucian... I'm sorry.

Good morning.

Buon giorno.

Signor Bonacini.

What are you doing here?

I thought to join you at church.

Ah. I thought you
didn't believe.

I could say the same of you.

Ah, yes. But I have to
accompany my guests.

And to keep up appearances?

No. Why?

Are you concerned with
keeping up appearances?

No. I am only
concerned to find a way

to see you on a Sunday.

And you will be excited to know

I've been working all night
on a design for your solarium.

Tell me more.

Count Albani.

Buon giorno.

Signor Bonacini.

- Carlo.
- Good morning, Bella.

Would not expect to
see you here on Sunday.

Um, I promised Signora Ainsworth
I would help her with, uh...

her vermin problem.
- Yes.

We do not want these ruffians
to upset your English ladies.

Will you excuse me?

- Good morning, ladies.
- Signor Bonacini.

He's here a lot.

Yes. We have an
enormous undertaking.

He's the architect.

Hmm. Even so, people will talk.

Come, Carlo, people always talk.

Shall we?

You alright?

I thought when you said you
were sure about this, Billy.

I were.

So, what now?

Well, we search the
vicinity, I suppose.

Lucian?

Oh, my God, Nish.

Oh, my God.

Well, there is bread.
And hard biscuits.

And there's a tin of sardines
in there. Oh, we have grapes.

And these I managed to...
steal from my father.

Well, your wardrobe has
certainly taken a dive

since I last saw you.

I take my sartorial
cues from you.

Is that what you've been
doing in Turin, is it,

you've been learning to
dress like a peasant?

No, no.

I've learned to speak
and act like one too.

Well, think of your poor
father. All that money he wasted

trying to get you to act
like an English gentleman.

Still, better an Italian peasant
than an Indian, God forbid.

How's he doing?

I'm no expert, but
it doesn't look good.

- Some water, please.
- Yeah.

He seems to think he's got a bad
concussion and a burst ear drum.

And he says a number of
his ribs may be broken.

Thank you.

And there's that wound
on his leg that...

well, it just
doesn't smell right.

Got off lightly then, I'd say.

What is this place?

Well, the land belongs to
that other fellow's father.

Bruzzone, he's called.

If you know that, they will.

He can't stay here.

Your mum thinks
that knife's stolen.

She thinks Salvatore took it.

Well... I'll put it
back when we go home.

Can you say how it
happened? How you...

got into this God-awful mess?

I followed my heart,
Lucian, and not my head.

I don't think it was your
heart you were following.

It's this Gianluca fellow.

They're one and the same.

Hmm.

I'm not sure that
I catch your drift.

I love him, Lucian.

And he loves me.

Well, I love you. I love
you. I love you very much.

- But I would never put your life...
- It's not the same.

Right.

How long have you
felt like that?

Ever since I can remember.

And you didn't think
to mention it or...?

Because I knew...

it would mean the end
of our friendship.

You should go...

and not come back.

I don't want you and the
others involved in this.

No, I'm not going anywhere.

Friends don't abandon
other friends.

Not under any circumstances.

You taught me that.

You can't touch that.

You can't put a knife there...

Ma'am.

You gave me a fright.

Where have you been?

Uh, just...

out for a ramble, Mrs Ainsworth.

Billy, you can't just wander
off whenever you feel like it.

Sorry, Ma'am.

I have been moving
the Dodsworth sisters.

They're unhappy with their
room. It's too noisy.

Why's that not a surprise?

So, if you could take their suitcases
and exchange them with Lucian's.

Right away.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to disturb you.

Please, don't mind me.

I'm sorry I haven't
dressed yet for dinner.

I've had a beast of a day.

I thought I might fix
myself a drink first.

Sounds an excellent idea.

Please.

I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

It's a reasonable assumption.

I- I guess I'm a little...

oversensitive about
travelling with my mother.

So, what's your story?

Well, my mother owns the place.

And I've had to run
away from my wife

so that I can holiday here.

In reality, I'm just as tied to
the apron strings as you are.

You're on your own here then?

I did write to a friend to see
if he might join me, but he's...

been caught up in something.
He couldn't make it.

I served in the Royal
Warwickshires, by the way.

Seeing as you asked.

Green Howards. Like my father.

Hmm.

Say, that doesn't stop you from,
uh, from swimming, does it?

Uh, I can still manage that.

Well, what do you say
about a boat trip?

You and me.

Maybe we could go fishing
see if we can't both get away

from our mothers
for a little while.

Alright.

These photographer
fellows, Ma'am,

- they've been getting restless.
- Right.

Which is why I didn't open
the gates this morning.

Ah.

Open the gates,
Signora Ainsworth.

Signor Danioni.

I'm not sure I can oblige
you without a good reason.

I'm authorised to take any steps
to apprehend those responsible

for the recent bombing in Turin,

including the search
of any property

where I have the reason to
believe they may be hiding.

What makes you
think they're here?

This is Gianluca Bruzzone, Sir.

A native of Portofino.

We have intelligence
that suggests

he has returned to the area with
his associate, Anish Sengupta,

an Indian national,

who is well known to be a friend
of the Ainsworth family, right?

I'm sure this is a
misunderstanding.

A simple telephone call to
Senator Cavana will sort it out.

I'm pretty sure, Sir,

the senator will not
wish to have his name

associated with an attempt to
block a legitimate investigation

into t*rror1st attack
against the Italian state.

- Here.
- Billy, open up the gate.

We have absolutely
nothing to hide.

Right.

Do follow me. Come along.

Everything to your satisfaction?

Yes, Signora Ainsworth.

So pleased.

Well, shall we have a word?

You, Constance,
Billy. I saw you all.

For heaven's sake. We
only went for a walk.

Oh... don't you
dare lie to me.

Alright, well, we did. We
went to go and see Nish.

We took him a few things just to
make sure that he was alright.

How could you possibly,

when you know what
I have been through

with your authorities and
that awful little man.

Nish is my oldest friend.

I'm not about to abandon him
now when he's in a bad way.

Well, what's happened
to him? Is he injured?

Well, he was caught
up in the blast.

He is putting a brave face on
it, but he is seriously injured.

What in God's name
was he thinking?

I have no idea. As far as I'm
concerned, he's a pacifist.

Oh, my apologies, Mrs Ainsworth.

Oh no, you don't young
lady, in you come.

It's alright, it's
alright, Miss March.

Apparently, my mother already
knows about our little escapade,

so you may as well just tell her

whatever you came
in here to tell me.

I heard Mr Danioni speaking
to a police officer

telling him to keep
us under surveillance.

Us? Did he-did he say
who in particular?

The boy. It might
have been the youth.

Right. Well, that's Billy then.

So that means I can't take him
with me if I go again tonight.

- Tonight?
- They're starting a manhunt, Sir.

I don't think we have much of a
choice. Nish could lose his leg.

Nish could die unless
we do something quickly.

I should go.

- They won't suspect me.
- Absolutely not.

I can't possibly allow that.

I'll go.

There's nothing else for it.

And, Luce, you'll just
have to show me the way.

Oh.

Luce. Come on.

Let's get this
over and done with.

Luce, would you fetch me the
iodine and the cotton dressings

from my bag?

Nish, you really have made a
mess of yourself, haven't you?

Hmm. I've made a
mess of everything.

You must think me
a dreadful fool.

I don't know what to think.

I suppose you must have
had your reasons, but...

I'm sure I did.

Although they hardly
make sense to me now.

Hush now.

You need to rest.

There'll be plenty of time for
talking once you're on the mend.

Thank you.

I need you to brace yourself.
It's going to be very painful.

Mrs Ainsworth!

- Constance!
- What are you doing here?

It's the police.
They followed you.

Right, we have to
move him somehow.

- There isn't time.
- Then hide, hide.

They must have seen
us leave the house.

Ah, no, no, no, no.

They'll be far more suspicious
if they don't find anyone here.

I've got an idea.

- -Take him into the corner.
- Yep.

- Who is that?
- Hey.

Oh-h*.

Signor Ainsworth.

Well, well.

Danioni, look, I know
that we are trespassing,

but I can explain everything.

Well, I don't think there
is anything to explain,

Signor Ainsworth. I
see what is occurring.

No, no. I know what
this looks like,

but I can assure
you it's not that.

- No?
- No.

Come on, Signor Ainsworth.

We are men of the w*r, huh?

You know what,

if I had decided to have
an affair with a servant,

I also will bring
her here in darkness.

Well, that's jolly
decent of you.

Um...

I only hope I haven't
put you to any trouble.

No.

It's not you who has
given me any trouble.

I'm so sorry.

Now, before I leave...

you promise that
you'll keep enjoying.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

No, you have to promise.

- We promise.
- Ah, okay.

Right.

Hmm.

Move him back onto
the bed. Come on.

- In you go.
- Thank you.

You poor girl. You
must be exhausted.

I hope... I hope Mr
Ainsworth is alright.

Oh, yes.

You forget he survived a w*r.

He's tougher than he looks.

I just... I wish he'd
come back with us.

Well, he had to stay to...

try to persuade Mr
Sengupta to move,

and to decide where
to, I suppose.

Not at the hotel then, Ma'am?

Oh no, there's too
many prying eyes here.

And remember, there's
the press at the gate.

Goodnight then.

Goodnight. Constance, I...

I did want to apologise for
putting you in that predicament.

It's all I could
think of on the spot.

Oh, no, it's, it's alright,
Ma'am. It did the job.

Well, nonetheless, you
were very brave throughout.

Thank you.

- -Goodnight then.
- Sleep well.

Oh, Cecil!

Can you keep the music down?
People are trying to sleep.

Darling, there you are.

I was beginning to think
you'd done a runner.

Come on in and have a drink.
- No, no, no, Cecil.

No more of your schemes. I...
- Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense.

- I am too tired, really.
- Too tired to say hello to me, mummy?

Oh, my darling.

I wasn't expecting you
back until Wednesday?

Oh, I couldn't stay
away that long.

There is someone I am
desperate for you to meet.

Victor?
- Mm-hmm.

This is my mother,
Bella Ainsworth.

Bonsoir.

Enchante.

Hello. Welcome.

I see now where your
daughter gets her beauty.

Oh.

Mummy, this is
Victor. Victor Michel.

My fiance.

Oh my...

I wanted to, um...

No, I, I...

I want to see it.

You shouldn't be ashamed.

You should be proud.

Constance, please. We
have to talk about this.

Rose is coming.

Do you trust him, honey?

Cecil? Oh no, not for a minute.

Where is he?

- Where's, where's who?
- Nish.

Just get him to answer
my damned letter, Edmond.

Unless you want to find me
floating face down in the harbour!
