THE WHITE LOTUS
Episode 6 Season II
What are you doing?
I feel like you don't believe me.
It's starting to drive me crazy. It's not fair 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, huh?
So, 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 you'd wanna have sex with an Italian hooker.
- You're not getting any. - I didn't have sex with a 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...
We can work on it. We can work on it, okay?
Do even want me?
I love you.
So... 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.
- 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.
So, how was the opera?
She died.
- Who? - Madame Butterfly.
- 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!
Think... 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.
Why would you say that?
Oh, it was just a... It was just a strong hunch.
Okay?
Portia. When I see you,
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.
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?
Get your shit together, Portia.
Good morning, 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.
Today's the big day! Gonna visit the motherland.
Wouldn't it be cool if we actually found some blood relations?
You know, 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.
A real homecoming. That would be nice.
- I found us a translator. - Good thinking.
...the puzzle of the week. And then I had to go back up again.
And then we went for a swim, we ate,
and we had a beautiful coffee.
- Good morning! - Good morning!
Was there an envelope left for me?
- For Lucia Greco. - No. I don't think so.
Not that I know of.
Salvatore?
Salvatore! Did anyone leave an envelope for Lucia Greco?
No, I'm sorry.
Fucking asshole!
Did you like my performance yesterday?
I was good right?
I'm sorry. I don't have time for this.
Please leave me alone.
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 1300 Euros.
I'll get it sorted, we have money.
I didn't realize you hadn't been paid, okay?
- Hello. - Hello.
Salvatore?
Excuse me Salvatore, will you please go to the large lobby.
No one is there.
Giovanni is there.
Then go see if momma pig has had her piglets!
- There you go. - As you wish.
Today is my birthday.
Nooo, happy birthday! I didn't know.
Thank you. I was thinking...
if maybe, you have nothing better to do...
later, after work...
you'd like to go for a drink... have a toast together?
- If you're busy, I understand. - No, absolutely. Let's!
- Yes? - Yes.
- Fantastic! - Happy Birthday!
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Why are you here?
Look, there are people out there who need help.
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.
- Yeah. - Detox.
- Please stop gaslighting me. - I'm not gaslighting you.
I can explain, just, can we please not talk about it right now?
Okay, whatever. I'm over it now.
I don't care anymore.
Just looking at all those sausages made me wanna puke.
Oh, my God!
- Sorry. - Shit!
Scared the widdle baby, did I? All right.
I got the car for the day. Do you wanna take a drive?
We'll go down to Cefalu, 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. We'll be back. Don't worry.
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! My God! - Sorry, sorry. I was just teasing you.
So mean!
Shit!
My... My hat.
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 gonna 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 one second.
Sorry, Albie, I thought you meant,
someone who worked here in the hotel.
Is there a problem?
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... Let's do this.
You seem to know a lot of the staff here.
Uh, yes. He is the brother of a friend of mine.
Thank you.
So, tell us about yourself, my dear? Where are you from?
I'm from Catania.
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 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.
Dude!
Can we sit here?
- You are fucking me up! - 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?
Okay.
Yeah.
Daphne Sullivan. 109.
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.
Okay, I'm gonna go 'cause I wanna use the steam room.
Yeah, totally.
- So, 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.
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 do anyway.
Who knows if we're even gonna be here tomorrow?
Yeah.
That's very true. The world's a fucked up place.
- 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.
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?
Ah, 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.
- I'll grab that. - Wait!
Not much to it.
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?
'Cause you got wanderlust. You get that from me.
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!
That's amazing!
They live a mile down the road and she gave us the address.
Let's go!
- 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? - Dad, I don't know.
Hey.
What's going on here?
- 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. 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 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!
Harper: Went to room to get my hat.
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?
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... Don't speak Italian.
But, uh, my name... is Dominic Di Grasso.
Di Grasso.
- You are Di Grasso, yes? - Yes.
My mother was from Testa dell'Acqua.
From here. She left to go to America.
Si, now, uh, we've come back to find where we're from.
We think that we are related. You're our relatives.
You and I are cousins! Cousins.
We are all cousins.
- Cousin! - Who's out there? I hear voices.
- Your mother? - Yes.
Hey, Mom!
- There are three men out here. - And what do we need men for?
Could we say "Good morning" to your mother?
Wow.
Thank you.
Lady.
We are your cousins from America.
My mother was from Testa dell'Acqua! From here!
Leave! Out of my house. I don't know you!
Out of my house!
Go away, we don't know anything or anybody.
- You need to leave, ok? - No, no, no. We come in peace!
Get out, shoo!
- I think we should go. Dad. No. - Whoa, no, we're related.
- Nono, come on. We should go. - Leave!
Sorry. Sorry.
We have lunch to eat.
And don't you dare come back.
You want the pretty money. Shame on you!
- Let's get out of here. - I'll throw this artichoke at your head!
- Not quite what I imagined. - I curse you and your kind.
Shame on you! Fuck off!
He's fine. He's my best friend.
I just want you to admit it, that's all.
Yeah. He's... 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.
That's awesome. I'm happy for you.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Okay. Well, then you'll also be happy to know that my masseur was so hot.
- Wait, what? - Yeah.
- No! - Kinda looked like Timothee Chalamet.
- Oh, nice! - But he had muscles.
What? Timothee 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!
- Or you! - Cam! Stop it!
Fucking hell!
Fucking love beer, know what I mean?
Yeah, I know.
- How's your thing? - It's good, yeah.
Yeah?
Uh, do you feel like we should head back to the house soon?
I feel like the party's probably starting.
No, no, no. Fuck that, fuck that. Let's get another one. Geezer?
Can we get, uh, two more here?
Nice one. Nah, don't worry. My uncle's parties,
they start late and they finish late. So, we're good.
Oh, my God. You look stunning.
No, stunning. Turn around, come on.
- No, my ass looks big. - No, it d... Come on.
Let's see your big, beautiful arse in that amazing symphony of salmon.
Yes!
And there's more good news.
I found the perfect arm candy for you tonight.
What do you mean?
I mean literally the sexiest heterosexual in Palermo.
- Who is this person? - Niccolo. 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. Niccolo may or may not have ties
to a very influential local family.
- Oh, you're talking the mafia? - Did I say that? I didn't say that.
We don't use that word in Palermo.
I know Niccolo 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.
Hi.
Oh, Niccolo. Here he is.
This is the woman I was telling you about.
Hello.
- Hello. Nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
Pleasure.
Yeah.
- Are you Sicilian? - Yes.
- I'm from Palermo. - Oh, okay.
Little pick-me-up?
- I haven't done that in a long time. - It's like riding a bike.
Please. Let's do it together.
Let's do it.
Uh, okay. Okay.
Here.
- Do you feel it? - I do. Yeah.
- It's very pure. - Yeah. And fresh, yeah.
Well, this is going rather well, isn't it?
I love your giant pupils.
Thank you.
- Yeah, yeah. - We will have fun tonight.
- Hello. - Hello.
- So when you're ready, I'm here. - Ah! Uh, yes. Yes.
I just have one last thing to do and then we can go.
- Okay. - I reserved at a really beautiful place.
Fantastic.
I wanted to tell you something about Salvatore real quick.
Ah! Yes? What?
He's flirting with me quite a lot and it's making me uncomfortable.
Oh God, I'm sorry. No, no, no.
- I'll talk to him immediately. - Thank you.
Actually I was hoping maybe you could send him back
to the Beach Club, and bring Rocco back to reception.
Surely I'll send Salvatore back to the beach, rest assured.
- Okay. - And then we'll find someone else.
I said Rocco because
he's my boyfriend.
- Rocco? - Yes.
Your boyfriend?
Yes, we didn't want people to know but
we got engaged.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
So do you think you could bring Rocco back to reception?
I promise we'll be really good. We'll keep our distance.
I don't know. I have to think about it.
- I'll let you know. - Okay. Okay.
Thank you.
So when you're ready, I'm ready too.
Actually, I just got this crazy headache
and have so much work to do so let's just cancel.
- Are you sure? It's your birthday. - It's fine.
A birthday is a day like any other so for tonight let's just leave it.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay, so I'll see you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow. - Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
I don't know why they keep giving us these menus,
we know 'em back to front by now.
You... You okay, man?
Harper told me that you said something to her.
Yeah. Of course. I said, 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. Dude, are you being serious?
Were you in our room?
- What? When? - Today.
Were you? In our room?
No. Of course not.
I know you got naked in front of her.
- What? - On the first day...
- What are you talking about? - When you borrowed my bathing suit.
I know what you're doing, man.
E, are you losing it?
Were you in our fucking room, man? Just tell me the tru...
You have to get a studio.
Can't beat the system. Or the process, you know?
Yeah. I struggle with that, too.
Oh, my gosh, wow.
I actually think little Timmy Chalamet did fuck up my back.
- It's starting to really hurt. - Oh, sorry.
No.
- Do you have any aspirin? - I think I might.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Thanks.
Hi, Riccardo.
Can you make me a Martini please?
Thank you.
Dad?
You okay?
You always think there's gonna be a homecoming.
The embrace of a woman...
who tells you you've done all right.
Well, there is no homecoming.
Not for me, not anymore.
Not very hungry. I think I'm just gonna get a drink at the lounge.
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember when I'm home again
You belong to me
Thank you.
You know you're really very good.
Well, you're better than the last guy. He was terrible.
Thank you.
Well, I have one fan.
Thank you.
Yeah.
- I love Palermo. - Palermo loves you.
Ah! Don't tell anyone, okay? About this room...
No. Nobody know about this.
This is our secret place.
Oh, wait a minute.
- Can we look in your cocaine bag? - Yeah, sure.
- 'Cause I want some more. - Yeah.
- Oh, look. - I carry it with me...
You got a gun. Wow! You...
I always carry it with me.
What were you doing with these guns?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That is so sexy.
I want it.
- You wanna start? - Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
- I've never seen you drink before. - Today's my birthday.
- Celebrating alone on your birthday? - No.
I don't have anyone to celebrate with.
Then you should be out at a lesbian bar, picking up a hot girl.
I'll tell you something.
A secret. Now that I'm a little drunk.
- I've never been with a woman. - But how?
Even I've been with a woman!
But you like women, yes? Why didn't you ever...?
I want to give you a gift. I will help you.
Hey. Stay calm.
- Hey, hey. - I want to kiss you.
- You're crazy. - Oh, okay.
Not here.
There's a hundred rooms in this hotel.
I'm sure you know which ones are empty.
There's an empty suite on the second floor.
- Let's go. - I have the master key.
You do? Really?
Come on!
Oh Dear God.
- What does he want from you? - He wants to control me.
He won't let me go, you know.
What would it take for him to let you go?
Money. He says I owe him.
I make a lot of money for him. I told you he is crazy.
But it's not your problem.
You're kind.
I wish all men were like you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday...
Valentina.
Happy Birthday
to
you.
- No, it's too early. - No, it's time to go.
All right.
I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles...
Watch where you're fucking going, you cunt! What's wrong with ya?
Sorry, sorry. Hey, hey.
- Dickhead! - Sorry.
Hey. Let's just...
You wanna go to the party? Let's go to the party. Yeah?
What? Oh. No, no, no.
No, we can't drive. We're too drunk.
It's all right. We'll just get a hotel, you know?
I got my uncle's credit card. Yeah?
Why is it so sad? Smile.
Ah, it's just a bunch of fuckin' gays and old hags.
We'll make our own party, yeah?
You'll be satisfied. Finally be satisfied.
Fortune's always hiding
I looked everywhere
I've been blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air
United! United!
Hello?
- Hold on, just one second. - Hello!
Jesus! So impatient.
I found my Ambien. Do you want one?
- Huh? - Do you want an Ambien?
Uh, no.
- You're beautiful. - Yeah?
I don't speak Italian.
- Okay. I come back. - Mm, okay.
Just give me one second.
I'm so nervous.
Just sit down.
- You're just really handsome. - Yeah?
You're beautiful.
Hey.
Ooh, it's a nice room, innit?
Yeah. It's fine, I guess.
Well, it's free.
Must be nice to have a rich uncle.
Yeah, well...
He's not rich. Not really anyway.
He's spent most of it, didn't he?
You've seen the way he lives. 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 at the money now, isn't he?
Is he?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. And he's gonna help his friends.
'Cause 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.
