Original subtitles

You've made yourself a low-necked dress

A hat with ribbons and roses

You were surrounded

And you spoke French, isn't it so?

It was the day before yesterday I met you

It was the day before yesterday

I loved you

You loved me

Now we no longer love each other

But sometimes you

Distractedly think of me

DECEITFUL LOVE

- Good morning. - Good morning.

So, ma'am, as I was telling you...

Hi, Gabriella.

What's the rush?

Are you training for a marathon?

Sorry, I was lost in thought.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Gabriella, good morning. Come, the new collection is in.

Good morning, Sabina.

Come in.

These have just arrived.

This collection is gorgeous.

Let me know which pieces I should save for the hotel.

This would look great on you.

Really, it's lovely.

Now we have to go. Thank you, Sabina.

Thank you.

Am I not allowed to hold your hand? Sorry.

Come on.

You've already introduced me to your family.

It seemed like the end of the world, but we made it out in one piece.

More or less, Elia.

Who cares what these people think?

These people are my neighbors.

They're people I work with, who know me in a certain way.

Which is?

As a serious, responsible woman.

And I make you less responsible?

What do you want me to do? Put up posters?

- To go tell the whole world that you're... - What?

No, say it. What am I?

You want the truth?

I don't know.

Well, when you make up your mind, let me know.

I'm not interested in being anybody's boy toy.

So what would you like to be?

Why are you with me?

I see how they all look at you.

No one has looked at me like that for years.

It's easy to get the wrong idea.

Is it?

Then let's give them something to look at, shall we?

What are you doing? What...

I told Serena to stop cheating, or I'd tell the teacher.

Otherwise, how will she learn?

Great. You did well. Hold on, honey.

- Hey. - You were right.

I found something on this Elia.

I'll send you everything by email.

Are you picking me up?

Okay.

Hey.

Move.

See you later.

Okay. See you later.

- Hi, Elia. - Hi, Stefano. Your mother's inside.

Actually, I want to talk to you.

You see, Elia, part of my job is to find out things about people.

Things they'd rather keep hidden.

And what did you find out? I'm curious.

Well, let's see.

For example, that just two days before you accidentally bumped into my mother,

you got off all social media,

where you didn't even use your real name.

And you closed your bank account.

So you found out I got fed up with the social media bullshit,

and that I switched banks?

Well... kudos.

Case solved.

I also found out that you own no property.

And that your name is on the blacklist of a Spanish bank.

I told you I'm good at my job.

This is illegal.

So is fleeing abroad to avoid debts.

My mother may delude herself that you're not after her money.

But we both know that's not true.

Unlike you, though, I don't want to humiliate or hurt her.

So I won't say anything. Neither to her nor to the police.

But I'll give you 12 hours to fuck off and disappear.

Tell my mother you left, or whatever.

I'm sure you won't struggle to come up with an excuse.

Fuck you. You don't know shit about me.

You're a con man, and not even a good one.

Expenses this year have been quite a blow.

We need to cut back somehow.

- The number you dialed... - Any ideas?

Mom?

Should I confiscate your phone like I do with Sofia?

Oh, sorry. You're right.

I was supposed to go to the movies with Elia tonight, but...

his phone has been off for hours.

Maybe his battery's dead.

Shall we continue?

Let's continue.

- Still nothing? - Still nothing.

I hope nothing has happened to him.

You're always so dramatic.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding.

No, we had a date.

Listen. I'm sure everything is okay.

People don't just disappear.

You know what? If he doesn't come, I'll take you.

- You think he's not coming. - Well...

Sorry I'm late.

Elia.

What happened?

Forgive me. I'd forgotten something important.

For you.

- For me? - Of course.

- You're crazy. - Maybe.

Should I call the police?

Mom, I'm sorry to break this to you.

But he's not who he claims to be.

The truth is he's drowning in debts. He ran away from Spain to avoid paying.

- Debts? What are you talking about? - Will you tell her, or shall I?

Yes, it's true. I'm in debt.

But I didn't run away. I can explain.

Then explain. Please.

You need to go now.

Mom.

Mom, you got to understand. I'm trying to protect you.

It's not about you.

Leave me alone with him.

I had a simple idea.

A charter service in Ibiza.

I asked my friend Francesco to be my business partner.

For months, I worked to get authorizations and permits.

The day the loan came through,

we were so happy that we got drunk.

That night, though, there was a storm.

By morning, the boats were destroyed.

And Francesco had disappeared, leaving me in debt.

- How much are we talking about? - This is not your concern.

I'll pay it back.

How?

I want to fix up the boat I bought,

sell it for double the price, and I'll slowly pay it off.

And I will pay it back.

Enough.

Don't say anything else.

It's late.

I wanted to talk with you in person because things are getting out of hand.

Elia is a con man.

- And our mother's in denial. - If she's okay with it...

She doesn't know what she wants. She believes him.

He's obviously using her, Giulia. She's old, and he's...

Hot. So what? Let her have fun. I don't care.

I have my life, she has hers. Why change these healthy habits?

If not for her, do it for us.

He could settle in the hotel and get his name on the accounts.

I have my own house. So do you. We have our money. What do you care?

- Actually, I don't have a house or money. - Oh, right.

It's been nice, but I have an event in two hours. I need to get ready.

For this crap?

You escape into social media instead of interacting with humans.

Starting with your family.

You're happy like that, right?

I am. And you?

Are we working out together?

Sure, come in.

Make yourself at home.

After all, you've settled in already.

Come on. I'll give you a hand.

Come on.

Okay.

Yeah, that's too easy. Try like this.

Okay, stop, it's heavy. It's heavy. Stop.

You know, I like it here.

I'm not leaving anytime soon.

You and your brother

need to get used to it.

Huh?

There you go.

Good night.

I'm just saying the image is nice,

but the graphics need an update,

because it looks old.

- Good morning. - Elia.

Come in.

Giuseppe, let me introduce Elia Marini.

He's the person I'm dating.

- Nice to meet you. - My pleasure.

Elia, this is Giuseppe, the soul of the hotel.

He's run the hotel since my father opened it.

Without him, I'd be lost.

- You're working. So... - No, stay.

We were just looking at how to update the hotel layout.

You can give us your thoughts.

Well, for example, I went to the gym last night.

It's nice, but a bit empty.

You should buy a few more machines.

I don't think our customers come to the Amalfi Coast for the gym.

Maybe not the old ones, but you could target a new market.

I mean, it's just an idea.

I'm only a guest here.

You are the soul of the hotel.

I'll leave you to it.

See you later.

You made it.

Look who's here.

Are we really tailing mom's boyfriend?

Just to clarify, what are you expecting to find out?

That he's jerking Mom around? Or he's only with her for the money?

That's obvious, but he's not going to shout it from the rooftops.

- I'm not even sure he's into women. - All right.

What do you mean?

Nothing, some things you just know.

And I kind of have a radar for fake straights.

A radar?

There he is.

Hello, Sabina. How can I help?

Sorry to bother you about this,

Yes?

The man who was with you

A bracelet, yes.

He wrote a check,

- It bounced? - Yes.

A bad check?

I'm sure it's an error.

There has to be a misunderstanding.

If you could tell him to check...

- All right. - Thank you very much.

Of course, I'll be in touch. I'll check right away.

- Sorry again if I bothered you. - Goodbye.

Why is he changing clothes?

- Maybe he's in the Secret Service. - Maybe you're an idiot.

Fuck.

I'll follow them.

His modus operandi is the same.

The romantic con man seduces lonely older women,

making them feel important, loved.

Then he starts asking for money.

Mom, we'll deal with this together.

I'll talk to him. You won't even see him again.

Right, because you think I can't take care of myself.

I didn't say that.

You've been scammed. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

You should be ashamed!

You went out tailing someone.

What I do, what Elia does, is none of your business.

I'm just trying to protect you. These photos that...

These photos prove nothing!

And I can protect myself.

Fine.

If you need anything, I'm here.

He was sweet, caring.

It felt like

The first time he told me, "I love you,"

I will never forget it.

One day, he said

and he didn't have the money.

But the surgery was urgent,

Ten thousand euros.

He promised to pay me back

A week goes by,

The next time...

Here you go.

This wine is perfect with lobster.

What did you do yesterday?

Yesterday, where were you?

I was at the B&B.

The whole time?

Yes. I was tired.

Taste this.

If you like it, I'll give you the recipe, and we can put it on the menu.

"We" can? So now we decide the hotel menu together?

Is something wrong?

You tell me.

Look, I don't like these games.

Me neither. So let's cut the crap.

Just tell me. Are you with me for the money?

Again? Your son's putting these thoughts in your head, isn't he?

You've just opened a 500-euro bottle of wine from my cellar.

You're cooking my lobster in my kitchen.

And now you're acting like you're the owner of this hotel!

I'll ask again. Are you with me for the money?

Do you know why I'm with you?

I thought you were a free woman.

But you're too influenced by what your children think.

Oh, you're good at turning the tables.

But the problem isn't me or my children.

The problem is you.

Sabina called me and said that the check you gave her bounced.

A bank problem. I went this morning to pay up.

Yes, of course, like your debts in Spain.

You know what? Let's ask her directly.

- Gabriella, is that you? - Yes.

I wanted to apologize.

Elia was very kind and settled everything.

Elia!

Elia.

Where are you?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Sorry for what? Huh?

- For being a bitch? - No!

- No. - Huh?

No!

Stop it.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Wake up, I want to take you out for breakfast.

Can't we just stay in bed all day?

No.

Come on, let's get up. I'll take a shower.

2 MISSED CALLS 1 MESSAGE

HAD A GOOD TIME, EVEN IF YOU ONLY EVER ASK FOR MONEY

Fucking piece of shit.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted you.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!

Fucking piece of shit!

Fuck you, Elia!

Fuck you!

- What are you doing? - What I should have done to begin with.

Erase all traces of you.

I know who you are. I know what you do.

You're insane. What the fuck do you want?

I want you to go!

If I leave, you'll never see me again.

Mom. Are you all right?

Yes, my love, I'm fine.

Okay, I'll just go to my room.

All's well that ends well.

THE FREELOADER HAS GONE!

So? You have nothing to say?

What if it was the other way around?

A 60-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman.

Would you have thought she was a scammer? And your kids?

Would they have reacted the same?

I'm off to work.

Gabriella.

- Gabri. Hey. - Huh?

Mario.

How many did you take?

- One. - Yeah.

What are you doing here?

Nico asked me to take him to some shop in Salerno.

I could've gone.

Gabriella, we couldn't wake you up. You got us worried.

If you're here to say that you warned me, save your breath, okay?

Actually, I came to say I'm sorry.

Have you talked to Giulia?

One of her so-called sponsors fired her,

and replaced her with a younger woman.

Take it as a good thing.

It could be an opportunity to look around a bit, to look for...

A real job?

Don't put words in my mouth.

I'm just saying that this might give you a chance to relax a bit.

You've been so stressed.

The truth is I like my job.

In fact, I should say, I liked it.

Don't be dramatic.

They don't understand anything.

You're...

You're smart, you're...

Don't say it.

You're gorgeous.

- You said it. - What's wrong with that? It's true.

No. It's not true.

They replaced me with a 23-year-old who's taller and thinner than me.

You're obsessed with being thin and tall.

- One doesn't get ahead just because... - Mom, wake up! Wake up.

There's always someone thinner, taller, younger.

I don't make the rules, it is what it is.

Even with Elia. Stefano may have been an asshole,

but how could you think that someone like him...

Bye, Giulia.

Come on, Mom.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- I want to try that black dress. - Yes.

It looks great. It fits you like a glove.

Great. I'll take it, thanks.

- I'll get the shoes too. - Sure.

And the red dress, and the pink one I tried on.

- And the red bag. - Of course. You need a new wardrobe?

No. I'm very unhappy.

Okay. I'll prepare the bill for you.

It looks great.

Delia.

Not you too.

I was passing by, and I saw you.

- What do you want? - Mario told me what happened.

- I had no doubt. - I'm so sorry.

What did he say? Did he say who the other woman was?

No, I didn't ask him.

Why should I have, Delia?

To have my head filled with his bullshit once again?

I've been there before, Delia.

Enough. It's over.

My God, why are you always like this?

Everything is either black or white. No shades of gray.

When you slept with my husband, what shade was that?

If insulting me makes you feel better, go ahead.

If you want to talk, I'm here.

Talk about what?

About the fact that I was scammed?

That I was taken for a retarded idiot? That's what you want to talk about?

And after everything he's done to me, do you know what hurts the most?

That I miss him.

Even if he tricked me. I miss him.

I'm stupid enough to believe that what we had was real.

Maybe it was.

Gabriella. People are complicated.

I don't know him. I don't know who he is, but I know you.

And I know you're neither stupid nor naïve.

If you felt that what you had was real, it probably was.

Anyway, if you want, I'm here.

I saw Mom.

I acted like an asshole.

What's new about that?

What's new is that we've all been assholes.

This thing with Elia really hurt her.

She just needs time.

Maybe we shouldn't have said anything.

I don't think so.

She's a mess. I've never seen her like this.

Giulia. I have.

This is nothing compared to when we were little.

You don't remember, but I do.

I remember how Mom was when you were born.

It's better to suffer now. Later would've been worse.

What if she was willing to pay to be with him?

Who are we to judge?

What are you saying, Giulia? Wake up.

People are bad.

Always the same. You mess up, and who has to fix things?

Always me. Like an idiot.

Are you sure?

Elia Marini. Didn't he stay here?

I'm positive.

I've just checked the registry, and his name's not there. I'm sorry.

Okay, thanks.

You could check at the Delfino Blu.

I've already been there.

The guy you like is at Rox.

- How many of you? - Three.

Hi there. So...

- What are you doing? - Huh?

Let's go outside, come on.

Hey!

I didn't do anything to you. Come on.

What's wrong? Huh?

- What the fuck do you want? - Stop!

- Elia! What the fuck? - Hey!

No, leave him alone!

- Stay down! - Elia!

No!

Get lost.

Come on, let's go.

Here. Hold it, like this.

- If it turns black, I'll be pissed. - Hey.

You'll take many beatings over the years.

- This is just the beginning. - Beatings?

I'm Gen Z. We don't hit each other.

Listen. How much can you make?

Doing what?

- Being with old ladies. - What the fuck are you talking about?

I was there with Stefano and Giulia. I saw you.

We have photos too.

I don't know what you mean.

I'm talking about this.

What the fuck...

You followed me?

Mom didn't tell you?

Listen.

You and your siblings need to learn to mind your fucking business.

Do you understand?

Huh? Come on.

What the fuck.

- Excuse me. - Yes? How can I help?

Do you happen to know this man?

His name is Elia.

Yes. He should be on the last boat on the dock.

Are you sure?

I wouldn't forget someone like him.

Gabriella.

What are you doing here?

So you're staying here.

There's no bed-and-breakfast.

Right.

After the mess in Ibiza, I bought this boat with what I had left.

And now I live here. I was embarrassed to tell you.

They showed me a picture of you with a woman. Who is she?

And tell me the truth. No more lies, please.

- That was my mother. - You said you didn't have a family.

Yes, and in a way it's true. I never got along with my dad.

He was a piece of shit. We'd fight every day.

It even got physical.

I swear, Gabriella, some days I could have killed him out of rage.

And I hated my mother, who always defended him.

I met her the other day to ask her for money.

Because I was tired of you paying for everything every day.

And I wanted to get you a gift.

I care about what other people think too.

Especially what you think.

Then again...

You must have your secrets too.

I want to meet your mother.

After 18 years in the US, it wasn't easy to return to Italy.

But now I wouldn't go back for anything in the world.

- You have children, don't you? - I do. Three.

I bet they keep you company and won't leave you alone.

- Well... - Good morning.

Thank you.

- Here. - Thank you.

Nice to see you again.

- Could we get some champagne? - Of course.

- We have to celebrate. - Great.

What are we celebrating?

That two women so important to me are meeting each other.

So, Gabriella.

Elia told me you have a beautiful hotel.

I do. My father built it. I'm trying to keep it from falling apart.

He told me that you're great at it. That you run everything on your own.

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

- Have you known each other long? - It all happened very quickly.

I thought so.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For you.

Excuse me?

My son is not a good person.

What are you trying to tell me?

So?

What are you ordering?
