So, you're buying a house today

and then getting married tomorrow.

Well, we're going to City Hall.

Kyle's idea, actually.

That way, instead of a big ceremony,

all of the Money goes to the house.

And, of course, our week in Italy.

Sorry, I don't know why he's so late.

Uh, Chicago traffic takes no prisoners.

So, honeymooning in Italy.

Why, why Italy?

My parents met there backpacking,

and they both happened to stop

at this gorgeous Italian villa.

Family lore is they met,

and my dad promised my mom

that he would buy her that villa someday.

After that, they were inseparable.

She still has a picture of them there.

And then they got married

and named you Liara.

It's all so wildly romantic.

Oh, yeah, well, my dad was a romantic, all right.

But you know what? He never actually bought her the villa.

He passed last year.

Which... I guess is why buying this house is

so important to me.

- Sorry. Sorry.
- Kyle.

Not a problem.

I hope your hands are warmed up,

because there are lots of signatures

between you and your trip to Italy.

- Uh!
- No turning back.

So, um, Kyle, you're going to sign first on all of these.

Okay, wait, just, um, one-one moment.

Liara, listen. I traded in my ticket.

I'm not going to Italy.

I'm going to Thailand instead.

Alone.

Sorry, what?

I'm just gonna give you two a minute.

We've been dating for six years.

I've been saving for this house that entire time.

I just need some time, Liara.

- I mean, a month, maybe two.
- What about your job?

- Mmm...
- You quit?!

What are you gonna live on for these "maybe two months"?

I'm sorry.

I wanna feel free again.

And then he said,

"Liara, you're too cautious."

And he dumped me.

With vague promises to call me.

So, the movers are gonna put my stuff in storage

'til I find somewhere new.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

You can always stay here, you know?

I mean, I could take the sofa.

Mom, I'm not putting you on your own couch.

That's fine, I'll...

find somewhere new tomorrow or the next day.

No.

You have to go to Italy.

Go on my honeymoon alone?

Reframe it.

You're going on a well-deserved adventure

to the most beautiful country in the world.

Alone.

I just think you should have a big cry

and then go to Italy.

Maybe you could even go to Capena.

Your father and I always dreamed of going back.

Mom.

Honey.

I think the biggest mistake we all make

is thinking we have enough time.

Go! Send me some pictures.

Checking in?

Last name, Taylor.

Uh...

A week in the honeymoon suite.

Congratulation.

Oh, I see.

These things happen.

Room 501.

If you need anything, please just ask.

Thank you.

Miss Liara...

Italy will make you happy again.

You'll see.

One moment, please, Miss Taylor. One moment.

I'm just gonna go walk around.

No, it gets crowded. Make a plan.

Today, the Pantheon.

Take lots of pictures.

And get some real pizza.

You love Chicago style,

but you have to try the real thing.

Dad and I loved the street art,

but we never bought any.

We were watching every painting back then.

- How much?
- 25.

Oh, and you have to go to the Trevi Fountain.

According to the website,

with the coins in your right hand,

throw them over your left shoulder.

One coin, you'll return to Italy.

Two coins, you'll fall in love there.

And three, you'll marry there.

How many did you throw?

- One.
- Tell the truth.

Bye, mom.

Your father would have been so excited for you.

He always wanted to go back to Italy.

He just ran out of time.

- Ciao, Alessandro.
- Ciao.

Can you recommend something different to do today?

Yeah.

Well, just around the corner

is the best pasticceria in Rome.

Excuse me.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I...

- Luca!
- I just want...

Luca!

My cousin is... He's in the freezer.

- He probably can't hear me.
- Oh.

- You're American.
- Uh, sort of.

Yeah.

What can I get you?

You know what? You tell me.

It's my first time in Italy, so...

What should I try?

Have you had this sfogliatella yet?

- I can't even pronounce that.
- Oh, well.

Try this.

No, no, no, no, no. It's my treat.

In honor of your first visit to Italy.

Plus, I don't know how to work the register.

So...

Thank you. I'm Liara.

Liara.

I'm Leo.

Leo.

Okay, well...

Cheers.

Mm.

Right?

Second best in all of Italy.

Second best?

Who makes the best, and can I marry them?

Well, it's our Nona, of course.

And, unfortunately, no, you can't marry her.

She's still mourning the death of my grandfather.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't be.

He's been dead for 22 years.

So you're saying I have a chance?

Well, you'd have to move to Capena,

because she's not leaving.

Capena?

My parents met in Capena a million years ago.

Really?

Well, then it's fate.

You should check out her bakery.

It's right on the piazza. You can't miss it.

Maybe next time.

Thank you.

- Have a great day.
- Ciao.

Americans always tell me,

"have a great day."

I love that about them.

Hey, did you just give my inventory away to a pretty girl?

- Hey...
- Proud of you.

Okay.

Man, your accent is still so bad.

Hey, are you staying over?

The kids haven't seen you in weeks.

I'd-I'd love to, but I really gotta get home.

Next time.

I promise.

Thank you so much.

- Thank you. It was great.
- Uh, Miss Liara.

Ah! Alessandro.

- Thank you for everything.
- Is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

But my life isn't gonna get...

magically fixed while I'm here.

Don't be so sure of that.

You don't always see it coming.

That's why they call it magic.

Thank you.

This is Italy.
Come see us again.

Hi.

Buongiorno.

Your grandson told me I should come here

and try one of these ones.

Hm.

Thank you.

Hey, honey. Did you decide to extend your stay?

Uh, no, just for an extra day because I was tempted

by a pastry that I, I can't pronounce.

But, mom, hey,

do you know that picture of you and dad in Italy?

Can you hold your phone up to it?

Mom, I can still see you.

Gotta reverse the display.

What button is that?

You know what? Just, just, just turn the phone around.

Okay.
Yep, I got it. Okay.

Thanks. I love you. Okay, bye.

Oh!

Hi.

Do you speak English?

Of course.

Please.

I just wanted to ask about a house

that you have in your window.

Yes, dad. All right.

Okay. All right. Thank you. Bye.

- What did he want?
- Ugh!

He met some attorney in New York.

He's gonna give me a call.

I know. I know.

H-hey-hey, Nona.

You have the worst poker face.

Ah! Ah, that's for you.

Just to confirm before I sign.

I will own Villa Amore for one euro.

- Yes.
- Yes.

And I will not owe property taxes for three years.

No.

And I can sell it whenever I want.

Yes. But you should know it needs some work.

It's okay. I don't plan on living there.

- It's just a symbolic gesture...
- Ah!

- For my mom.
- Uh...

Yeah.

Okay.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Liara?

- Leo?
- You came to Capena.

Well, someone told me about a bakery that I had to go to.

And now, guess what?

I'm going to see my... villa.

Sorry, you're what?

So we were about to buy our dream home,

but instead he broke up with me because he needed more time.

Which is obviously, it's a much longer story.

But his final shot was to claim that

I never do anything impulsive.

So, went on my honeymoon alone,

I delayed my trip to come here and try one of your Nona's...

Um... sss...

- What's it called?
- Sfogliatella.

That. And then...

I bought my mom's dream house.

It may need a little work.

Oh, my mom is not gonna believe

I found this after all this time. And I own it.

Is she gonna be living here with you?

No, I'm not living here.

I just bought it to surprise her.

And to make my dad's promise come true.

- Yeah.
- Should we see the rest of it?

I can't believe I got this for one euro.

Yeah.

So, uh...

did you read the small print of the contract?

It was all in Italian.

But Enzo did say that I can sell it whenever I want.

I bet he did.

There's rules to these one-euro homes.

Like, you have to start renovating

within the first three months

and you have to be done within a year.

What?

And actually, because you're American,

you only have 90 days to stay in the country

before you have to leave for 90 more.

So, I guess I'll just sell it then.

I think if somebody wanted to buy this place,

they would have done it years ago.

But I'm leaving tomorrow.

And what are they gonna do?

Fine you. Heavily.

What if I don't come back?

They're not gonna extradite me over this.

No.

But you can't enter any countries in the Schengen area

until you pay the fees.

- Which is what?
- All of Europe.

Except for Ireland and Cyprus.

Yeah.

Now you're gonna need a handyman,

a permit, and probably a residency card

because you are not finishing this place in three months.

Whoa! Whoa. It's okay.

It's all right. T-take a deep breath.

This is not who I am.

I don't do stuff like this. I...

I'm an efficiency expert.

I do data analysis.

That's a different set of skills, yeah.

I will say this though. There is some good news.

What?

Whatever battle you have going with your ex

about who's more impulsive...

I'd say you just won.

Hey, Enzo. You saw me coming a mile away, didn't you?

Uh, I'm sorry.

- Oh, you don't speak English?
- No.

As an hour ago, you were fluent.

You need to tear up my contract right now.

No, no. I'm sorry.

I already submitted.

- Then go un-submit it.
- No...

You! Get out!

No, no.

Congratulation on your new home.

Nona made you a snack.

Does snack mean something different in Italian?

Snack means something different to Nonas.

I love that she kicked Enzo out.

Oh, that. That had nothing to do with you.

No, they've been mad at each other for 30 years.

He, uh, he waits until she goes in the back,

and then he comes in for a coffee.

30 years? What happened?

You know, nobody knows.

It's weird though, because they used to be friends.

They'd practice their English on each other,

but then something happened.

Well, it's a mystery.

Must have been something pretty bad.

Not necessarily.

I mean, nobody can hold a grudge like an Italian.

You know, I don't see any way out of this mess

except through it.

- Do you?
- No.

My only option here is to fix this place up

and then... sell it,

and I can use the profit to buy a house in Chicago.

But I'm gonna need some craftspeople to help.

Yeah. No, it's gonna take a lot of work.

You know, there's no guarantee you'll be able to sell this.

I mean, the reason these homes are only one euro

is 'cause nobody wants to live out in these small villages.

How long has it been deserted?

Nona said she thinks at least 25 years.

Wait, so the donkey's immortal then?

Actually, I asked Nona about the donkey.

She thinks he was left behind from the neighbors.

They just abandoned him?

Well, he's rumored to be ill-tempered.

I don't believe it.

Hm.

Hey.

You don't have any sandpaper in your truck, do you?

Oh, here.

- Here.
- Wow.

Actually, how do you feel about blue paint

for the outdoor table and chairs?

If it's free, I love it.

- Well, it's free.
- Ooh.

- Thanks. Whoa!
- Yeah, you'll need this too.

- All right.
- And you'll need a permit

to do any work outdoors.

I think I have the form to apply for one in my truck.

Okay.

Wait a minute.

You don't work at the bakery?

Uh, I help out.

But look at all this stuff, I mean, this is,

this is contractor gear.

You're carrying around permit forms?

You work on homes.

Um, I'm just, I'm a bit of a handyman.

That's all.

- You can help me with the villa.
- I can't.

I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm-I'm too busy.

Look, here it is. Pretty self-explanatory.

English on the back. Fill it out.

Mail it at the post office. Should be pretty quick.

The municipality's eager to get these houses fixed up.

There's also an app that you should download.

Conto Alla Rovescia.

It, uh, counts down the days

until you have to leave the country.

Are you really not gonna let me hire you?

I can't. I'm-I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm too busy, really.

Oh, wait, hey, before you go, could you,

could you just tell me if there's a hotel in town?

There isn't one.

Please let me hire you.

I can't right now. I'm sorry.

Really?

Trees.

Grass.

The sky.

Birds.

Birds.

What is the Italian word for donkey?

Asino.

Okay. What is the Italian word for...

kisses?

- Baci.
- Oh!

Oh, I like that name.

Okay.

Baci it is.

Right. Ooh.

Hi.

I, um, just need to mail this letter, please.

I'm staying at the Villa Amore

if anything else comes in for me.

One euro, ten.

More than the house itself.

Here. Thank you.

Hello.

Anyone living in here?

Oh.

Eighty-two days left in Italy.

Everything's fine.

I'm being... spontaneous.

I'm brave.

Very brave.

So, so, so brave.

Oh, I never thought I'd sell this one.

We need to agree on some priorities.

Okay. I should write this down. Um...

Your pump works, so you have water.

- You just have to carry it.
- Okay.

Or you could share the bucket with the donkey.

Ah, tempting, but, uh, no, it's okay.

Electrical first, and then plumbing.

Because electricity makes me nervous,

I think we should hire an expert that I know.

Unless you're skilled at it.

No. Hire away.

Oh, and, um, Baci stays.

Who?

You-you named the donkey?

Of course.

Well, then I guess Baci stays.

Deal?

Deal.

All right, well, I gotta get going.

I have some stuff I have to do this morning, but I'll be back.

If you need to get a hold of me,

my number's on the side of the cup.

Oh, um, my phone's dead.

But I'm gonna go into the cafe later

to charge it up and run some errands.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Leo.
- Yeah?

Why'd you change your mind about helping me?

I guess I just got impulsive.

Ciao.

I know it's only been a day, but I'm just wondering

if you had any idea how long it might take

to get the permit back?

No.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

Nice.

- Great. See you later.
- Yeah.

Well, you have an electrician.

- Yes!
- Norina!

When can she start?

She'll show up one day, and... that'll be the day she starts.

Okay, so you don't really have an electrician.

Yes, you do.

You have an Italian electrician.

By the way...

I think the postwoman hates me.

I went in there to check on the permit

and she hadn't even mailed it yet.

It was just sitting there.

Yeah. I should've warned you about Teresa.

She's been there forever.

She, um...

she enjoys the power she wields over the town.

So she doesn't do her job?

- Why don't they fire her?
- Oh, no, no. It's impossible.

She inherited from her mother.

She's actually very nice.

You just have to...

sweeten the pot a little bit.

Like what?

I mean all I have is a... broken-down villa.

Yeah.

But you also have olives.

So, we can...

Just take it. Anything. It's yours.

Yeah.

This would be a lot easier

with electricity and a food processor.

Yeah, but old school always tastes better.

- Okay.
- One more.

- There you go. All right.
- Okay. Oh.

Yeah. There you go.

- Okay.
- All right. And we take this...

Pour it in.

And we let it sit until morning.

It'll separate.

And we come back. We strain it.

And we take the half that's olive oil.

It's actually really cool.

Yeah.

Uh...

Hi.

It's my first bottle.

I want you to have it.

Love to hear your opinion.

Have a great day.

You bought the villa. That means so much to me.

And it would to your father as well.

Well, it was supposed to be a surprise,

but it... kind of backfired.

Oh, honey.

I thought you would just visit Capena.

I'm so flattered. I should get on a plane.

No, no, no, no, mom.
No, no, no, no, don't come yet.

Nothing's working yet.

What about work?

Uh, I took a leave of absence. They're-they're okay.

Remember how they didn't really give me

any time off when dad died?

They're kind of making it up to me now.

Okay. For how long?

Mom, I gotta go, okay?

Don't worry.

I know what I'm doing.

Okay. I love you, too.

Okay, bye.

Liara.

So, how's the... clean-up going?

Are we friends?

Nah, I don't think so.

Come on, Liara.

You need a friend in town.

Why isn't anyone nice to me?

Some are afraid you are not going to fix up the villa,

and some are afraid you are,

but not in the Italian way.

You know, we are very proud of our history.

Not proud enough that anyone maintained the villa.

Come on, Liara. Look around you.

Town is old. Young people leave.

So the next set of young people

have nothing to keep them here either.

- Besides, you're American.
- So?

Half the people are afraid

you'll build a McDonald in the piazza.

And the other half?

And the other half are afraid you won't.

Uh, time to go.

Ciao, Mia.

Ciao, Marco.

Guess what? Your fireplace is clear.

Uh.

So if you, uh, get cold...

you can stay warm.

Also, I found a bunch of candles and some matches.

- Thanks. Hey.
- Yeah.

Oh, look how cool this is. I unburied the fountain.

Wow!

Yeah, you know, you'll find all kinds of secrets

in these old houses.

So, uh, can you come back tomorrow?

Uh...

No. Tomorrow's Sunday.

Oh, right. Of course, you've got church.

Football. Italy's in the Euro finals.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

So the whole town gets together.

The shops open up. They put TVs outside. We drink.

- We have fun while we watch.
- Hmm.

- They call us, uh, tifosi.
- What's that?

They think we've got a fever for football.

- Oh.
- We're nuts.

You see, you should come.

I don't know. You don't think it'd be weird?

Why would it be weird?

This is your town now.

Tell you what.

I'll save you a seat.

- I'll think about it.
- Okay.

- Well, ciao.
- Ciao, ciao.

- Hey!
- Hey!

- You made it!
- Ah.

How're we doing?

Ah, the refs are the worst.

- What's the score?
- Zero-zero.

Oh. So, we're winning.

See? I knew you'd understand.

Oh! Thanks.

- Hey.
- Cheers!

Hey, thanks, Marco.

Cheers.

Hi, Mia.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait! Here!

I don't know. Overalls.

Um...

A really huge electric drill?

Come on, tell me what it is.

It is for you.

Here.

Goodnight.

Hey.

Thanks for saving me a seat.

Thanks for sitting in it.

Oh, I'm-I'm headed into town next week

to get some supplies for the house.

Do you want some company?

Yeah...

I do.

Go to sleep, Baci!

Sixty-eight days left in Italy.

So I spoke with Norina

and she should be out today to do the electrical.

Although, I do think you should

still apply for your residency.

Otherwise, you have to leave when your 90 days are up.

I have to leave anyways.

I've got a life and a job back in Chicago.

Okay, I have a job in Chicago.

Well, I, I still think you should apply.

Just in case you need more time.

But don't tell them you plan on selling it.

Say something vague that might indicate an economic impact.

That's really all they care about.

You know what? It would actually make a fabulous B&B.

My parents ran one of those in Vermont for about a year.

I-I think it was maybe the happiest

I've ever seen my mom.

Really? Why-why'd they stop?

Oh, my dad probably saw something shiny to do instead.

He was easily distracted.

Hm.

Kind of like your ex.

Oh, also pretty accurate.

Yeah.

Buongiorno!

Buongiorno, Nico.

I like the one on the left. Yeah.

- This one here?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, okay.

- Uh, I guess all of these.
- Yeah, right?

- Yeah.
- I mean, it's amazing.

Okay, and then I think we need, like, I don't know.

How many do you think? One, two, three, four.

Like seventeen?

- Ciao. Grazie.
- Grazie.

Okay.

Ooh.

Uh, you, uh, ready to go back?

I feel like the answer is no.

Well, there's a place not too far from here that I love.

Do you, uh, do you mind if we stop?

Not at all.

- You got that?
- Yeah, I got it.

- Arrivederci!
- Basta!

Did you just tell the toll booth to shut up?

Yeah. It's a, it's a national tradition.

That's not very nice.

Oh, it is very nice compared to

what other people tell us to do.

So my dad, who, uh, who is American,

was transferred from the Roman office back to Boston.

- And that's where you grew up?
- Yeah.

But my mom and I, we'd come back here every summer

to visit my Nona. So I kept my dual citizenship.

Ah, and you're bilingual.

Uh...

This is my mom's favorite spot.

So naturally...

it's my favorite spot.

It's beautiful.

If we come back in a month, it'll be warm enough

for us to swim.

Arrivederci!

Basta!

Sorry.

Sorry, it's, um...

it's-it's broken.

Hey, pay attention.

Don't let the broom touch your feet.

Why not?

If the broom touches your feet,

you will never be swept off your feet by a man.

Yeah, I think that ship has sailed.

- Did it?
- It means it's too late

for me to be swept off my feet.

It's never too late.

Your permission.

It was approved.

I opened it.

Oh, okay.

Uh, excellent.

Oh, hey, uh, I've got a residency form for you to mail.

- Just, just one second.
- Mm-hmm.

Here you go. Thank you.

Hm, ah.

What's all that?

These are all the mail that arrived to Villa Amore

since it's been abandoned. There.

- Ooh. Thank you. Ciao.
- Ciao.

Ciao.

A bowl of gelato, please.

Una coppa di gelato, per favore.

Una coppa di gelato, per favore.

Per favore.

Grazie!

The clothes will fit you better than me at the moment.

Thank you.

Buon appetito.

Liara!

Come!

- Liara!
- What's going on?

Norina thinks she's got the electricity figured out.

- No way.
- Yeah.

- Ready?
- Hit it.

- Hm?
- It means, um, yes, I'm ready.

I'm ready.

No! No!

She, she'll figure it out.

She totally will.

Hey, Leo, it's Will. Your father recommended you.

We'd love to talk about

an open position at our company.

If you could give us a call back.

Message deleted.

Hi, Baci.

- Hey!
- Hey!

- Hi!
- What are you doing?

- You're just in time.
- For what?

- What are you doing?
- Drum roll, please.

Uh...

- Hey!
- Whoa!

What kind of sorcery is this?

Hooked up a little solar cell that I got in the city.

- You're a genius.
- Well, it's not much,

but as long as the sun is shining,

I don't have to share the water pump with Baci.

Look at you.

This place is really starting to come together.

Right?

How many, uh, how many more days

do you have left?

Fifty-nine days left in Italy.

Fifty-nine.

Still plenty of time.

Plenty of time.

Papá, he called again.

Hmm.

- What does he want?
- Oh, the usual.

Wants me to
make something of myself.

I've been ignoring these calls

coming from this attorney from New York.

He worries about you.

That's because he never asks me if I'm actually happy now.

You're a good boy.

The day of reckoning is coming.

Oh, hey, buddy.

What?

Liara?

Liara, hey. What happened?

It's... I was scraping paint and the ladder broke.

Are you okay? What...
What-what-what hurts?

Just, uh, just my pride.
My ankle.

You went up on a ladder by yourself?

Please don't yell at me.

No, I'm-I'm not yelling.

It's just, it's-it's crazy.

You could have...

you could have really hurt yourself.

I just wanted to do this for my mom,

and I can't even do that.

I want...

- I want...
- Hey.

- What do you want?
- I wanna condition my hair.

I wanna smell good.

I want, I want this villa to be perfect,

and I...

I want my dad back.

- Name five things that you see.
- What?

- What?
- Th-th-this works for me, okay?

Just-just try it. Name five things you see.

T-trees.

Okay, that's one. What else?

Uh...

Olive trees.

What else?

Grass.

Um...

My hands.

You. You.

- What else?
- What?

- A hot shower also helps.
- Oh.

- Thank you.
- Take your time.

I will. I'm okay.

This shower was made by the Gods.

Yeah, they certainly think so.

Oh.

I want that exact shower in my place.

That exact shower.

Sit. Eat.

Take an anti-inflammatory,

ice your ankle, and rest.

Do it all in that order.

And if you do that,

tonight, I'll take you to dinner and gelato.

Where are you going?

I have another job I gotta get to.

You're cheating on my villa?

No. No, no, it's just a clogged sink.

It's a fling.

Means nothing to me.

I swear.

Oh.

Hey. Feeling better?

- Yeah.
- You hungry?

Always.

Now, let me just go use my shower of the Gods,

and then we can get out of here.

Oh. I-I don't have anything to wear.

All my clothes are still damp.

You really don't have dryers in this country, do you?

Yes, we do. There's a big one.

Rises in the east and sets in the west.

Every day.

- Here.
- What is this?

I told Mia that I wanted to take you out to dinner,

so she gave me that.

Leo, this is a one-euro house, isn't it?

We can talk about it at dinner.

Can we also talk about this picture of you?

The one where you're graduating from Harvard Law?

Get changed.

So there I was.

A lawyer at a top law firm.

An apartment in Beacon Hill,

about to get everything that I ever thought I wanted,

and best of all,

my father was proud of me.

Just one little problem, though. I hated it.

So what happened?

Well, one morning, I was taking the red line out to a meeting.

My stop came. The doors opened.

And...

I just stood there.

I couldn't move. It was like...

It was like my legs turned to stone.

And I just rode the train back and forth, all day.

Your body took over.

Did what your brain couldn't.

It took me all day...

to ad-admit to myself...

that I got everything that I ever wanted.

But I didn't want any of it.

So...

how'd you end up in Italy?

Nona.

Uh, she fell.

Although she'll never admit she did.

I came to, uh, to run the shop while she got better.

And because I, too, can be...

- impulsive...
- Oh, my God...

I bought my one-euro home.

And I started fixing it up.

I found that I liked working with my hands.

I was actually pretty good at it, you know?

People started hiring me.

I was able to make a living.

I still got panic attacks, you know,

whenever I was pressured. But with therapy, I...

I feel like I can handle them better.

So how are things with your dad?

Not good.

No, he wants me to come back and try again.

But I, I want him to come here, you know?

- And see my life.
- Yeah.

Serious question, though.

Have you told your father about the shower of the Gods?

Because...

it might convince him to visit.

Yeah. It's a brilliant idea.

Yeah, I'll text him after gelato.

Unless, of course, you don't want any.

- Are you full?
- Never.

- Really?
- Never. No, I'm-I'm...

I need-need to eat a little more pasta, though.

- Careful.
- Ah!

Thank you for everything.

What?

I have lights! I have lights!

Oh!

- Can we go?
- Yeah.

Look at this!

Norina saw the ladder and called me.

So when I told her what happened,

she doubled down, got this done for you.

I have power.

And your refrigerator's on. And your water pump works.

I have water?

Thank you.

Thank you for taking care of me today.

I love this villa, and I love Norina,

and I love Baci, and I love you.

You...

What about Kyle?

I don't wanna talk about Kyle right now.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Goodnight.

Goodnight.

But you did such amazing work in Leo's shower.

He says that they're retired.

But don't you miss it?

No.

I'll pay you.

Hm?

Blah, blah, blah...

Okay.

We'll do it.

For amore.

- Really?
- Really.

- Thank you.
- And for money, too.

- Of course.
- Yes, of course.

Ciao.

Ciao.

Not yet.

Maybe soon.

Thirty days left in Italy.

Hey! What smells so good in here?

It's my mom's chicken soup recipe.

Mia has a cold, so I thought I'd bring her some.

Hmm, well, surely she doesn't eat all of this, though, right?

Ah!

Allora.

All right, boys.

Sit down. Here you go.

- Oh. Hi.
- Hi.

I thought you were Marco.

I thought you forgot something.

I wanted to bring you some, some chicken soup.

In the States, we say that it helps with the cold, so...

Here. I hope you feel better.

Do-do you want to come in?

Come on.

Okay.

So he was too shy to ask you on a date, so he just...

Asked you to marry him?

Yes.

- What did you say?
- I said yes, of course.

I had to marry him,

otherwise he would never have asked me out.

Ooh!

You know, I've been told you're not supposed to

ask someone if they're pregnant

until they have an actual baby in their arms.

But I feel safe asking you when you're due.

Yes. I am so very pregnant.

One more month, and all of us are so ready for it.

Congratulations. This house is perfect for a family.

No...

You know, I am so glad that you're my neighbor now.

There just aren't enough people in town our age.

Hey.

Everything okay?

- Yep.
- Good.

Come here. Follow me.

- Okay.
- Straight.

- What is happening?
- Make a left. Make a left.

- Almost there. Almost there.
- What's happening?

- Keep going.
- Okay.

- Are you ready?
- I'm ready.

Ta-da!

Oh, I have a shower.

I have a shower. I love it.

I love it. Oh, thank you. Genuinely thank you.

Thank you. Oh, thank you.

- Thank you.
- Ah...

Okay, the water's boiling.

The pasta in, just, uh, break it in half first.

Whoa, no, no, no, no, no. What are you...

No.

You're so easy.

Don't joke about that in Italy.

- You'll be deported on the spot.
- Oh.

Hey, so, um...

let's work on the rain gutters tomorrow, huh?

Uh, no, no, we can't tomorrow.

- Why not?
- It's Friday the 17th.

It's a very bad day in Italy.

Oh, like, uh, Friday the 13th.

Yeah, but they take it very seriously here.

People stay at home, they don't go to work.

They definitely don't climb ladders

and work on rain gutters.

What happens if we do it anyways?

Nona would feel it in her heart.

Mmm.

Okay. What should we do instead?

So there's still plenty of one-euro houses left, right?

Oh, yeah.

And the idea is that people will buy them,

and it will reinvigorate the communities, right?

That's correct.

So what if you started a business...

to help people through the process?

You could use your law skills to help with the paperwork,

and then you could your contracting skills

to do all the house renovations.

It'd be a one-stop shop.

I don't know. Starting a business?

It just feels daunting, you know?

What if my legs turn to stone again?

I'll be there for you.

Is that Kyle?

- My mom.
- Hmm.

I have no idea where Kyle is, and...

honestly, I really don't care.

So it's over?

Way, way over.

So then it would be... appropriate for me

to tell you just how beautiful you are.

Way, way appropriate.

And...

that would mean that you are...

available to be kissed?

Leo, I have to leave.

We have an expression here.

Have you heard of it?

It's the sweetness...

of doing nothing.

So lean on me. Hm?

Let's stare at the clouds...

and do nothing together.

Here's another offer for house insurance from ten years ago.

Oh!

"To the current owners of Villa Amore."

I think this is from your father.

- What?
- Yeah.

"Please let me know if it's available to purchase."

Liara, he tried to buy it.

He just ran out of time.

You know, I could sell my olive oil here.

You could. Yeah.

First, I'd have to figure out how to make

more than one bottle at a time.

My mom...

She's so jealous.

-She can't wait to see her villa
-Ooh.

Before I sell it.

Do you think your Nona hates me?

Nona doesn't hate you.

Do you think that your Nona is

strongly distrustful of me

because she thinks I'm gonna lure you away to the States?

Maybe. Yeah, probably. Yeah.

Do you think homemade olive oil would help?

You know, I think homemade olive oil helps everything.

Ah, ciao, Mia!

Ciao! Uh...

Um, what's, what's the English word for what ducks do?

Oh, uh, waddle.

Yes, I am waddling.

I've been craving suppli with you all week.

Oh, thank you.

Mmm.

I mean, I would crave this too,

and I don't have a baby telling me what to eat.

I have to go to the city tomorrow for a few days.

Can you check in on Mia for me?

- Of course.
- Bring food.

Girl, I got you.

Oh, it, uh, it means, um, big yes.

In American girlfriend speak.

Okay, then, I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

- Ciao.
- Ciao, grazie.

- Huh? Good?
- Mmm.

Hey, Baci.

Don't judge me.

Liara.

On hold with the residency people again.

For over an hour. Again.

No one knows anything.

Hey, I've gotta head out, I've got to go help Nona,

and, uh, these boys need their afternoon riposo.

- Hmm.
- What is that?

- Chicago deep dish pizza.
- Where's the cheese?

It's under the sauce.

I'm bringing it to Mia.

We're gonna have some girl time.

Mia's not gonna eat that.

She's polite and pregnant.

Possibilities are endless.

No, really, where is the cheese?

- Liara...
- Oh, get out.

- Get out of here.
- Put cheese on it.

- No, uh, Chicago.
- Yeah.

Okay, don't judge.

I promise it's really good.

- Oh, oh, yikes.
- Yes, yikes.

- Did you, did you call Marco?
- He is on his way.

But I don't think we have time.

Liara, you have to drive me.

Oh, I don't know how to drive in Italy.

Liara, don't worry. It's easy.

Just, just believe everyone else is an idiot.

Okay. Sounds a lot like driving in Chicago.

So let's go. Come on.

We are, we are fine. We are okay.

On average, first labors last a long time.

Sure, but there's a reason it's an average.

Let's get out of here.

Okay, I'm just gonna go straight

until you tell me to turn, okay?

Oooh.

- Turn up here. Sinsitra!
- Which way?

Okay. Is that right or left?

Okay.

Arrivederci.

Basta!

Well, good job.

Okay.

No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

Ah! Liara!

You're gonna be the most amazing mom.

And the most beautiful.

You are.

Even when you haven't showered in two days,

haven't slept in three,

even when your blouse is covered in baby barf,

you'll be the most beautiful.

Oh...

- Mia.
- Hey.

I'm so sorry.

- Ciao. Ciao.
- Yeah, ciao.

No, no, no. Stay, stay. Stay.

- Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.

She's in charge.

You got me, girlfriend?

Absolutely, I do.

It's a boy!

Ten fingers, ten toes.

Oh-ho!

Are you, are you okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm great.
- Yeah?

It's the most breathtaking thing I've ever seen.

Mia's so strong. Huh!

Oh.

You are a good girl.

Come on, I'll drive you home.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Thought I heard you come in.

What do you got?

Oh, it's the letter that my dad

sent to try to buy the villa.

I framed it because, uh, I wanna hang it up.

That's great. I-I'll get my hammer.

Can you get your measuring tape, too?

I just want it to be even.

- Sure, yeah.
- Yeah.

Uh, do you know this guy?

- Kyle?
- Hey, babe.

Kyle, what are you doing here?

Well, I mean, since you didn't answer any of my calls,

I figured I'd check up on you.

You got some sun.

- You look great.
- How did you find me?

Oh, you forgot to, uh, unshare your location with me.

Oh, hey, man. I'm, uh, I'm Kyle, Liara's fiancé.

- The fiancé?
- Yeah.

The, uh, fiancé that left her at the altar?

Oh, um, well, technically there was no altar, so...

The fiancé that cost her her dream home?

- That fiancé?
- Yeah, that-that's my bad.

But, but the past few months have been amazing.

I mean, I felt so much peace.

I felt like I was in my 20s again.

I mean, have you been to Thailand?

No, I haven't.

I've been fixing this house up for the last...

Hey, you know what? Let me take care of this.

It's okay.

Come on.

- It's a beautiful house.
- Yeah, thanks.

Wow. I cannot believe all this.

You know, old Liara would have never dared.

I guess we both found ourselves these past three months, huh?

Maybe.

Listen.

Our house...

You know, the one that we were gonna buy?

It fell out of escrow.

It's available.

Can't you see?

We can go home together...

and try again.

And this time...

we can make our dreams come true.

That's the funny thing about dreams, Kyle.

They change.

Every time you close your eyes, you might get a new one.

And I did.

I'm... done.

That's fair.

I guess I blew it, huh?

- Hey, can I ask you a question?
- What's that?

Why is there a donkey following us?

That's Baci.

Is that a friend of yours?

Yeah.

Is he gone?

He's gone.

Is he, uh...

like gone-gone?

Gone-gone.

You okay?

Yeah.

Hone... Honestly...

You standing up for me was...

maybe one of the top five moments of my life.

Anything?

If anything comes in, can you forward it to me

at this address?

Okay.

Thanks.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Are they sleeping?
- Yeah, finally.

I just wanted to...

give you this and, um, say goodbye.

You're really going?

Don't have a choice.

Three months are up tomorrow.

Will you say goodbye to Mia for me?

- Sure.
- And also, will you...

please check on Baci for me?

- I will.
- Thank you.

I'm sorry, Liara, but you're out of time.

I still have to believe that it's gonna work out, though.

I mean, I wanna stay in my home.

Where is that? Home.

Is it here? Or is it Chicago?

Excuse me.

Am I interrupting?

- Can I help you?
- You must be Liara.

I am Rocco Moretti.

My friend Enzo sent me.

How can I help you?

I am with Barone International.

- The hotel chain?
- Yes.

Enzo mentioned that your time in Italy is ending

and you might be looking to sell the property he sold you.

Wanna give me a tour?

We wanna bridge the gap between the big hotels

and the smaller B&Bs and Airbnb-type services.

I see.

It gives people, uh, the charm of the small stay

with the security of the Barone name.

And I have to say,

I'm impressed with all you've done here.

Obviously, there is still much to do

to bring it up to our standards,

but, uh...

how about if I run it by my team...

and text you some numbers in the morning?

Ignore him.

He's... just sassy.

He'd run it like an Airbnb.

People can rent a room

or... the entire place.

It'll certainly put some money into the local economy.

So that'll make people happy.

Maybe some of the people will buy a one-euro house.

So, that'll help your business.

Can I ask you a question?

If you could stay here...

would you?

I don't know.

I wanna fix the house. I want my mom to stay here.

And... if I sell it to Rocco, then...

she and I can come visit.

I see.

I guess I thought you might have changed your mind.

I hoped you'd change your mind.

Maybe you could come to Chicago.

No.

I can't because I know that I'm meant to be here.

I just wish you saw that, too.

I'm sorry.

Okay, look, I know you're used to

taking care of yourself, okay?

Marco's gonna check on you, so...

be nice to him, okay?

Okay.

Hello?

Liara, it's Rocco with Barone International.

I just sent you an email with some preliminary numbers.

Yeah, these are nice numbers.

More than I was expecting.

Well, uh, we believe in the villa.

Of course, we'd have to finish the renovation you started

and a few other small changes.

What other changes?

Our clients tend to like sleek marble bathrooms,

so we want to strip out

all the tile in the primary bath.

Oh.

I also noticed a small fountain

in the side yard. We'd take that out.

Too much of a flood risk

if something goes wrong. You know?

Of course.

And of course, no offense

but we would have to 86 that donkey.

Mmm.

Rocco, um... my bus is here, so...

let me think about it and, um...

we can talk when I'm back in Chicago, okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, terrific.

Can't wait to do business with you.

Okay.

Liara!

Liara!

Liara.
Liara.

- Yes!
- Liara!

Liara!

- Wait!
- Open it.

- Liara!
- Wait!

- Liara!
- Yeah!

- Liara!
- Ah!

I've got...

Oh, dios mio, I need...

I need to run more.

It's your...

it's your residency application.

- What's it say?
- I-I-I don't know.

It's illegal to open up somebody else's mail.

Open it.

Open it!

I had a really good offer from that guy Rocco for the villa.

Enough to pay it all off and still buy a house in Chicago.

Free and clear.

But I'm gonna turn him down.

Sorry, Enzo.

The thing is that if they can run it as a B&B, so can we.

Plus, you need my help with your business.

Really, I just didn't wanna leave you.

Capena's my home,

so I'm either staying as a resident

or... I will be back in 90 days.

And I'll be right here counting the days until you get back.

Okay.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Liara!

- Oh!
- Oh, you did it!

Oh!

So...

what do you say?

Can we put it all behind us?

Because I, I don't even remember why you're mad at me.

I thought you knew.

No, I don't. I thought you knew.

Still, I don't like how you tricked Liara

- into buy the villa.
- Did I?

Or... did I make sure your grandson found...

the love of his life?

Hm.

Okay.

You can come in for coffee.

- That's it.
- Okay.

Okay.

You know, I thought about something

that you said yesterday.

Where is home?

And I realized that...

home is wherever you are.

Well, then...

welcome home.

- You ready?
- I think so.

Come on.

It's exactly as I remember it.

There's so much more.

Come on.

- Oh, I love that man.
- Hm.

He would have been so proud of you.

Well...

if I'm gonna help run the B&B,

I better get to know my way around.

I'm gonna start outside with that sweet, sweet donkey.

Mm.

Okay, you nervous for our first guest?

My father?

No, I'm excited.

I'm excited for him to see how happy I am.

I think if he can stop worrying about me,

then I can stop worrying about him.

- Good plan.
- Hm.

Besides, your mom said she'd keep an eye on him.

- I love her.
- Yeah, me too.

I love this villa.

I love your fountain.

I love, I love your olive oil.

I love my new job. I...

I even love Baci.

- Even Baci?
- Yeah.

But I love you most of all.
