Hey, how's it going?

Hey. Good, good.

I need you to do me a big favor.

Uh, gather all the troops around

before dinner service kicks in.

Sure, yeah. Is everything okay?

Yeah. Everything's okay.

Okay.

Paul: Alright, everybody's here.

Look, uh, I have a big announcement.

We're closing?

Jake, why would you say that?

I don't know.

Intuition?

Anyway, look, guys, now, a while back,

I heard there was a program that Tuscan Grove sponsored

where they take all the top managers from franchises

all over the country on a all-expense paid trip

to the Tuscan Grove Institute in Italy.

Uh, you learn about Italian cuisine and culture.

Uh, you stay in a villa.

It's a opportunity of a lifetime.

Now, Amber, you've been here for nine years.

Matter of fact, I hope she's here for nine more years.

Yeah...

You've shown grace under pressure.

You've ran this place like a perfectly run ship.

Amber...

pack your bags.

You're going to Italy next month.

What?! Congratulations.

Wha-- I -- Are you being serious?

Oh, my God!

I mean, I've never been to Europe before or anything.

Paul, I'm -- I'm so grateful to you for this, really.

Hey, look, this is an honor.

Like, this is not an easy program to get into.

Matter of fact, I had to write you a two-page essay.

That's how much I believe in you.

But seriously, get out of Bakersfield.

Go have some fun. Recharge, relax.

Have a little adventure.

And, look, don't worry about us here.

We'll manage. I don't know about that.

Whatever. Come here, give me a hug.

Aww.

Emily: Damn, dude, this is the shit.

Wait, and you're gonna be staying in the villa?

Yeah. Oh!

I know. [ Giggles ]

What?

I have a feeling.

You know what? Nope, never mind.

Oh, my God, tell me.

You're gonna fucking fall in love.

Okay, I was kind of thinking that, too,

but it sounds so stupid.

No, it's not stupid.

Nick: Welcome to our table!

Hey, look, look. Oh, my God.

Enjoy oodles of noodles with our famous

classic spaghetti and meatballs,

our juicy and tender chicken parmesan,

or go succulent with my personal favorite,

creamy fettuccini Alfredo.

Plus, soup or salad.

And finish strong with our irresistible desserts.

Three full courses for just $13.95.

Best of all, all our pastas are all-you-can-eat.

Mama, don't stop there.

He's a growing boy!

Pull up a chair and mangia.

Whoa. Mm, maybe it's a sign.

Of what? How is that a sign?

Of synchronicity.

Hi, I'm Amber Ruffman.

Benvenuta, signorina.

Ciao.

Sono Craig e saro la vostra guida

per la prossima settimana

presso l'istituto del bosco toscano.

Mettete tutto qui per favore.

Oh, n-- Um, I-I don't speak Italian.

Were we supposed to learn Italian?

Ah. No, I'm just kidding.

I'm Craig. I'm your program supervisor.

But don't worry, I'm cool.

O-Okay. Hop in.

Thanks. Yeah.

Hi, I'm Jen.

Hi. Amber.

Did Craig do that thing where he was talking

in Italian to you, too?

Yeah. That was so funny!

I totally thought he was a real, authentic Italian guy

'cause of the beard and stuff, but I should have known,

'cause his name's Craig.

And, like, what Italian's named Craig?

Totally. I'm Deb.

Hey, I'm sorry about your bag.

I overheard. I'm Amber.

Oh, nice to meet you, Amber.

I had so many important things in my bag,

and now it's just --

I'm sure they'll find them.

Really? You think so?

Okay, ladies, before I forget,

if you could just hand me your passports,

I'll hold onto them before it's time to head home.

Yes, sir. Grazie.

Buon giorno, party people.

All: Buon giorno.

It's so great to be with you.

Welcome here to giorno uno.

That's day one of the Tuscan Grove

Institute Exemplary Managers' Program.

You should all be very proud of yourselves.

We're gonna have a lot of fun here --

eat a lot of great food, learn about Italian culture,

and most importantly, grow as people.

But first, everyone introduce yourselves.

Tell us your name, where you're from,

and a fun fact about yourself.

Okay, that's dry. I'll start.

I'm Craig.

I, uh, come from [Italian accent] Cincinnati, Ohio.

[ Normal voice ] But, uh, I've been living

that ex-pat life for eight years.

And, uh, let's see --

my -- my great uncle invented skorts.

"Sports"?

Skorts. Okay.

Um, my name's Fran,

and you all probably recognize me

from "Chef's Challenge."

And, uh --

Well, anyways, I think of myself

as more than just a manager.

I guess I'm a bit of a foodie.

I've been dabbling in molecular gastronomy

and, I don't know, just happy to be here

to share my expertise with y'all.

Oh.

Um, I'm Dana, and, um,

I've loved Tuscan Grove since I was a kid.

And I guess you could say

that Nick Martucci's kind of my idol.

Just the way he, um --

he built this business from scratch.

And he stars in those beautiful commercials.

Um, I don't know --

I-I'm just really psyched to be here.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm Jen.

Uh, I'm from Oakland, California,

and I am very -- Dana: Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, I forgot.

I'm from Tenafly, New Jersey.

Please continue.

Did you -- Sorry, no, no. You can go.

Um, I am really over the moon to be here.

I feel very connected to all of you guys already, like,

in this cosmic way.

Like we met in a past life or something,

and that's, like, very exciting.

And -- Oh, fun fact about me is, I used to be a twin.

Uh, almost, because my sister died in utero.

Cool.

That's not really a fun fact, but, okay.

Hi, everybody. My name is Deb.

I lost my bags at the airport,

and I had all these really important things in my suitcase.

I called this woman with the airlines and I spoke to her,

and she was very rude to me.

And she has no idea when I'm gonna get my bags back,

or if they'll ever find them again.

So, I just feel like I'm not being very fun.

Mm.

But, um, I really appreciated Amber.

She was so kind, and you told me

that you could lend me clothes, and I really appreciate that.

You seem like a nice person.

Thank you.

W-W-Well, I'm Amber.

I'm from Bakersfield, California.

Um, this is my first time traveling outside the U.S.

I've worked at Tuscan Grove for nine years.

I technically took a year off to open a restaurant, um,

with tablets at every table,

but my ex put all the debt on my credit cards

and killed my credit, and it went under, so I'm back.

And... now I'm here.

Alright. Well, okay -- Okay, so I'm Susie.

Oh, sorry. I'm so sorry.

Um, I'm from San Antonio, Texas, so, "Go, Spurs."

Um, yeah, I don't know --

I've been at Tuscan Grove for, like, ever --

since I was a little kid, like, I've been working there.

I mean, not, like, for real-for real.

Just for fun. It's not like child labor.

Um, but, like, my parents and my, like, aunt and uncle,

they all have a franchise, and they've had it forever.

So, it's like all of us work there -- my cousins --

There's 23 of us, like, all together.

We're just, like, a big family,

but we're all, like, really close.

They're, like, my best friends.

Oh, I love family.

Yeah, no, I mean, family rips.

Craig: Great.

So, now that we got the fun stuff out of the way,

I gotta -- I have to put on my serious hat.

Italy's a magnificent country,

but, uh, it can also be dangerous.

That's why we have a strict curfew.

How is Italy dangerous, Craig?

Uh, well, you know, there's a lot of unpaved roads here,

so you could slip and fall.

You could, uh -- You could get lost.

There are boars.

Boars? Yeah.

There's no leaving the TG Institute while you're here,

except for official field trips, which are so fun.

Yeah, okay, now I can take the serious hat off

and I can put my fun hat back on

and introduce a very special guest.

Uh, please welcome one of the most important members

of the Tuscan Grove family.

She is personally responsible

for designing the official TG menu.

No way. Liz Bence is here?

Lizzie Bence.

Oh, holy shit.

Uh, I'm gonna faint.

Liz: Oh, please don't do that. That's way too much pressure.

Welcome, everyone.

Congratulations on making the cut.

And speaking of cutting, you all look hungry.

Let's get to the kitchen. Come on.

Ooh!

Alright, this is interesting.

What is the different between a ragu and a Bolognese?

You don't have to raise your hand.

Sorry, um, a Bolognese is from Bologne?

Yes. What else? What else?

Ingredients?

Yes, but, uh, specifically.

Sauce?

Well, you're gonna use a red wine for ragu and white wine...

Uh, and white wine for Bolognese.

...for Bolognese.

Deb: That's so interesting.

Ooh, I love this. This is fun.

Would that look cute?

Yeah, you can take it -- sure.

I think it would be so cute with my jeans, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, and there's some sweats to sleep in, if you want.

Thank you so much. I really like you, Amber.

Yeah. So, do you have a boyfriend back home?

No, definitely not.

Oh, that's okay. You're still young, you know?

You got plenty of time.

You should just have fun while you're here

and sow your wild oats,

'cause that's what I'm gonna do.

But I'm actually married, though.

Oh. My husband, Hank, is wonderful.

He's -- He's really good for me.

We actually have a really good relationship -- very solid.

You're gonna find love, Amber. I can feel it.

A lot of my friends say I'm really intuitive.

And you're my friend now, so, mm.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Oh, I just need to get this. Are you good?

Oh, yeah, I'll just finish up.

Hi. Hi!

Oh, my God, how is it? Tell me everything.

It's r-really great.

"Really great"? Come on, that's it?

Come on, i-i-is it insane? How are the people?

Are there any assholes?

Have you hooked up with anybody? Come on!

Oh, my God, I've been here one day.

Hold on.

Hey, do you have everything you need?

Oh, yeah. This is so cute.

My husband actually loves when I wear

really revealing and sexy stuff.

Not that I would ever do anything while I'm here,

but, you know...

Uh, d-d-d-do you need anything else?

'Cause I'm just gonna talk to my friend right now.

No, it's fine. Oh.

It's actually really good for my self-esteem, though,

because I love getting attention from men,

and it's like that kind of sexual energy, flirty --

Just makes my body feel good.

And then you kind of, like,

bring that energy back to the marriage.

So it's -- it's, like, healthy.

Totally.

S-Sorry, so,

it's just that my friend is calling long-distance.

Oh, sorry. Oh, yeah, okay.

Oh, sure, sure. I'll get out of here.

Okay. Just want this.

Sorry. It's okay.

Here. Let me get my purse.

Would you care if I take a few hangers?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They didn't put any hangers in my room, so --

It's so annoying.

This is so cute. Can I take it?

Ooh, i-it's just my only jacket.

Oh, okay, no problem. Okay.

Okay, bye. Okay, good night.

I'll see you in the van tomorrow morning.

I'll see you then.

[ Sighs ] Okay.

Oh, it doesn't lock. Huh?

It doesn't lock. You can just open it.

That's so weird. I know.

Okay. Good night, Amber.

Farmer's markets are the traditional way

that townspeople purchased all their produce.

always tastes so good, it's not --

it's not just the fresh ingredients that they use.

It's also the soil.

Boom. Let's hit it. Andiamo.

Dana: Fashion show.

Most of our classic TG chicken dishes like a Milanese,

a parmigiana, include traditional Italian seasonings,

which is made up of rosemary, basil, marjoram, sage, thyme.

But our Crazy Calabrese lasagna has red pepper flakes, right?

'Cause that gives it that kick that we all love so much.

Do you wanna, um, try the marjoram,

or whatever it's called? Yeah, sure.

When she first said it, I thought she meant "margarine."

Just 'cause it -- Yeah, me, too.

I was literally like,

"Wait, is margarine an Italian spice?"

"Yeah, here's this cool Italian herb.

It's called butter." -Shh.

Uh... Sorry.

And, of course, at our stateside locations,

we exclusively use the prepackaged...

Ladies. Ladies, just respect the herbs.

Fran: You know, speaking of respecting the herbs,

um, do you mind if I take the stage?

Or the, uh, sage?

Okay.

Listen, gang, I-I want to apologize

if I've come across as aloof.

I don't know, it's the jet lag or something.

But I-I want to try to be more available for you guys.

And -- And, Liz, I love what you're doing,

but maybe we should try thinking outside the box.

Let's take bruschetta.

Um, why don't we try flipping it on its ear?

Do you have a, uh, -- a chinoise for the foam?

And gelatin -- I need to bloom the gelatin.

No, I don't have that.

Okay, well, we can use some egg whites

to give it some more body.

Beautiful six-pack here.

Where's my plate? Okay.

Actually, you know what? We'll just use the whole egg.

Get some of that protein from the yolk.

Oop, okay.

Get this working here.

And what about some liquid nitrogen?

Do you have some some liquid nitrogen here?

It's really not that kind of kitchen.

Alright, let's use some milk, then.

And, okay. We're mixing.

You gotta get a real, real quick mix going.

-What? -Is this really happening?

Oh, I know it's, uh -- it's not pretty,

but we're improvising.

We're making it work.

Fran, you maybe want to stop macerating right now.

I would like to introduce to you a very special guest.

He is our C.E.O. and our founder...

Oh, Jesus. ...and my dear, dear friend.

for, like, two weeks in high school,

and I smoked cloves 'cause I thought it was so cool.

And I would just, like, drive around in my car

with my cigarette hanging out the window

but, like, so nauseous.

And then, my mom found the cigarettes in my purse

and, like, asked if I was smoking.

And I said no, and then I just, like, burst into tears.

I felt so bad about lying.

Just -- That's cool.

Me crying is cool?

No, sorry.

I'm just kind of out of it right now.

Oh, from traveling.

No. Nope, all we fuckin' do is travel.

we were in one place for more than a week.

That sounds fun.

Yeah, it can be.

It can also suck -- majorly.

and we just met.

Oh, my God, you can dump shit on me.

What are you doing tonight?

Do you have plans?

No. I mean, I don't know.

I don't think we're allowed to, like, plan our own stuff.

No, fuck that. You're with me.

I actually know this really cool spot in Lucca.

[ Clears throat ] Alright, guys, I'll make you a deal.

We can go... -Yes!

-Yes! -Let's go.

...to the bar right here. What the fuck, Craig?

What kind of deal is that, Craig?

I don't know what to tell you. We're not going to Lucca.

Them's the rules, alright?

I brought some molly,

and Jen and I are gonna roll tonight.

I don't know if you wanna...

We'll just see. Okay.

Yeah, no pressure.

What are you guys talking about?

[ Dance music playing ]

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Oh, my God, look at them.

...my eyes.

Both: We have the same face!

Ugh, they are so annoying.

It's so depressing.

When I first got to Italy,

I had men that were, like, chasing me down the streets.

You know, th-they would -- they would cat-call me.

They -- They would just, like, reach out

and take big ol' handfuls of my ass.

Oh, no.

No, it was great. It was great.

I walk down the street now, I'm completely invisible.

People, like, settin' drinks on my head like I'm a table.

I don't even get whistled at anymore.

Or that thing, you know -- I don't -- With the --

You know, the fingers and the tongue?

This thing? I never get that.

Ew, they did that?

Yeah.

Oh, my God. God, I miss that.

Sucks we're not going to Lucca.

You know, Lucca's the porn capital of Italy?

Except they wear masks to hide their identities.

Why do you know that?

I'm sorry your plan got all fucked up.

I really do want to check out that bar you were talking about.

No, it's totally fine.

We'll go another time. Totally.

Um, tell me more about your -- your traveling.

What's your all-time favorite place?

Mm...

been so many places.

Oh, this one time, I was living abroad in the Andes,

and I hiked up the cape to Pachamama high on coca.

Coca?

Yeah, you need the coca to survive the soroche.

What's that? Altitude sickness.

We were at 3,200 meters,

so you definitely need the coca.

Anyway, it was the solstice, right?

So it was like the one day out of the entire year

where the sunlight hits both of the ovary rooms

at the same time.

Yeah, I've been on a real Latin American kick.

Totally.

Have you read García Márquez?

Mnh-mnh. Don't think so.

Well, I've been reading "News of a Kidnapping."

It's about all these people

that were kidnapped by Pablo Escobar.

It's brutal.

It's not like any of his other magical, realist shit.

It's like totally fucked up.

Whoa.

Sounds fucked up. Yeah.

It's wild how much better the food is here, right?

Fran, this olive, these chips --

it is like I've never had an olive before.

It's like -- it's like I've never had chips before.

Yeah, but in my younger days,

I was definitely rougher around the edges,

you know what I mean? Mm-hmm.

Like, you know, I got in some trouble all the time,

did some stuff I'm not proud of.

Yeah, yeah.

So, Bakersfield.

Yeah.

It's, uh -- It's pretty lame.

I don't know, it sounds kind of exotic to me.

He's trying to make me think I'm crazy now.

He's using shit against me from my past.

What does that mean?

Like, the other day on the boat,

he was asking me all these intimate questions, and --

and I told him some -- some really private stuff.

I'm such a fucking idiot.

Whoa. Like, what private stuff?

It's private.

Sorry.

But, like, it was really weird,

because it started out super simply.

Like, "If you could be famous, would you?"

But then, he got into shit about, like,

"What roles do love and affection play in your life?"

Like, who even talks like that?

When did you last sing to yourself?

Last week, why?

[ Typing ]

Look.

"'The New York Times' 36 Questions that Lead to Love."

Oh, my God.

Nick is the mastermind.

Okay, we gotta get the fuck out of here.

Right. Well, Craig has our passports.

[ Soft music playing ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Music stops ]

We're American citizens, and so we have a right

to demand our passports back now.

And so, we do demand that.

Furthermore, we want to be flown out of here --

t-tonight, now.

Uh, well, yeah, that's -- that's not gonna happen.

Look, we know there's something shady going on,

and we just want to leave quietly.

So, just give us our passports, and we won't report

any of this -- Wait, what?

What's that, now?

All these "women" getting "sick"...

What are these air quotes about?

I'm not following.

Where's Liz? Where's Susie, huh?

We know they're not just getting "sick," Craig.

So, Lizzie was only scheduled to be here two days,

and she's left.

Well, what about my migraine?

I didn't even have one.

Oh, you didn't?

Huh.

Why did you say you did?

Listen, guys, tomorrow's the last day.

It's probably best not to rock the boat.

I have a woman's name.

So, I need to apologize once again

for showing "Life is Beautiful."

Uh, my bad.

I'll be reading the synopses from here on out.

I'd also like to, uh, remind everyone that

you're very lucky to be here, and you should be

very appreciative of this opportunity.

So, keep it professional and positive, okay?

So, in that spirit, let's do

some trust-building exercises today.

This one's called "Pass the Zuke."

Uh, share something personal about yourselves, uh,

perhaps something you learned on this trip. I'll start.

Um, I got a better idea, Craig.

We should play Mafia.

It's really fun and it's a great way to build trust.

Alright, so, I'm gonna hand out these little cards.

They're gonna tell you if you are a villager

or a member of the Mafia.

And then we're all gonna close our eyes.

Mafia members will open them, make eye contact,

and carefully choose someone to kill.

Jen: Hey, Nick.

-Hey, Nick. -Ciao, amici.

Amber, could we have a word outside, please?

I'm good. She's good.

Hey, uh, you want to play, Nick?

Uh, okay.

Sure. What's the game?

Mafia. Great.

-Awesome. -Unreal.

Okay. Shuffle these boys up.

Keep those close to the vest.

Don't let anyone know who you are.

Do you understand the game, Deb?

Deb: Yes. I think I do. Here you go, my don.

[ Yawns loudly ]

Okay, everybody. It's morningtime.

The sun is rising. The birds are chirping.

You just had a restful sleep.

And in a second, everyone's gonna open their eyes,

except for Dana.

Dana, you're dead, bro.

Okay.

Well, obviously, it was Nick.

Right? What'd you do with them?

Who? Wait. Dana, you're not allowed to talk.

You're dead.

Why would you think that I did it?

Well, because you know I know.

I mean, it's so obvious.

Know what, Dana?

Dana, zip it up, dude, okay?

Were you Mafia or were you a villager?

Yeah, maybe play it cool. No, no.

He makes himself out to be this amazing guy, right?

Mm-hmm. With this amazing family.

And that bringing all of us here

will let us be a part of that.

And, instead, he just totally snubs me,

and this program sucks!

It sucks. I'm sorry.

You just fly a bunch of white people out here.

You make a Bolognese.

You watch moves in this dilapidated, low-rent shithole.

You have no other plan.

I hear trains go by every fucking three seconds.

My room has silverfish in it, and they really scare me,

but I don't want to kill them,

so I'm just living with fucking silverfish?!

Fuck this!

I'm Persian.

Okay. I'm sorry.

But where is everyone disappearing to?

Nick, are you poisoning them?

-Whoa! Stop it. -You're being a dick, Dana.

No, no, no. It's okay.

You want to talk about family?

You ever held your sister's hand as she died

right in front of you? No, I haven't.

That would be an incredible coincidence.

I have.

Connie --

Connie was my everything.

I mean, this isn't what I signed up for.

Tuscan Grove was supposed to be a fine-dining experience,

so I didn't know it was gonna snowball

into some fucking populist, mass-produced,

fucking fast-food bullshit.

It was supposed to be my Spago,

my Chez Panisse.

I've accepted what it's become --

a massive success. Great.

And now I try and create a beautiful experience

for all of you, inviting...

you into my home...

...my villa, my... my life.

And you have the nerve to accuse me?

I-I really put my heart on the line this time.

Never again. [ Sobbing ]

It hurt -- it hurts.

[ Sobbing continues ]

[ Sniffling ]

I'm sorry.

Thank you for inviting me into your little game.

But I should go.

-No. No. No, no, no. -Nick, come on, man.

Nico.

[ Sighs deeply ]

Way to go, Dana, you pussy.

Hey, fuck you, Fran. You're a fraud.

What'd you say? You're a fraud.

I saw your episode of "Chef's Challenge,"

and a fucking tween beat you.

A twe-- a tween?!

Elliot is 13 1/2 years old. That's not a tween.

And, furthermore, the rules are fucking bullshit.

Think about it. You know what?

They edited it to make me look like an asshole.

You weren't even there. Fuck you.

Craig: Enough!

This is supposed to be a team-building exercise.

Dana, cool out.

Ooh! Ooh! Fooh!

Big man Craig standing up!

You're a fucking fascist, okay?

You have no right to kidnap us like this, alright?

I already apologized about the video.

Sit down.

I'm not talking about the video. You're dead.

I'm talking about the fact that you're a fucking patchouli

Charles Manson bitch who I'm about to fuck up!

Oh, we got a hot shot here. You're out of your fucking mind.

Do you want to go back to Teaneck?

Fran: Hey, hey. I'm from Tenafly.

Hey, Dana, come on. Sit down now.

-Sit down now. -Take off your shirt.

and I can't stop till I feel blood.

Sit down! Okay!

Good. We won't fight.

'Cause I'm starting to feel sick anyway,

'cause I guess something seems to be going around.
