[My name's Frankie.]
[Frankie Delano.
And l'm a professional watcher.]
[That's what l do. l try to stay
in the shadows and watch.]
[The man who employs me is Angelo.]
[Angelo Allieghieri, who is
considered a generous man..]
[..by some
and a very bad man by others.]
[But good or bad, he is a father
first and foremost and has,..]
[..for years, had me watch
his daughter who, by the way,..]
[..doesn't even know
she's his daughter,..]
[..which really complicates things.]
[ln the last few months,
Angelo has been having me..]
[..film messages to his daughter.
lt's kinda like he's gettin'..]
[..his life in order,
which kinda makes me nervous,..]
[..like he knows something
l don't.]
Hey, Frankie?
You want me to say..
..something for you? You know,
put in a good word or something?
Please, Angelo, it's gonna
embarrass me, okay?
Come on!
You embarrass too easy.
Frankie, if she ever leaves
that sorry excuse of a husband.
You can't keep doing what you
are doin' for me. Understand?
Now, Frankie, watch out.
For what?
Watch out for the one..
..who feels pain..
..and wants you to know it.
All right.
Turn it on.
You know,
after so many years,..
..it's become like
a pool of memories to me,..
..never knowing
if those memories are real,..
..or if they're simply
what l want to remember.
Because all l have left
to join me to that world is her.
[See, that's what Angelo
had always said..]
[..that she was all he had left.
But that wasn't exactly true..]
[..because, even though l never
made a big deal out of it,..]
[..he also had me. See,
l pretty much loved Angelo..]
[..like you would your own father.]
Come on.
Before we lose 'em.
[So it was hard for me, too,
having to stay invisible..]
[..as her world fell apart,
after she'd given in..]
[..to that husband
and sent their little son off..]
[..to some distant
boarding school.]
l see him! ln the plane!
Rawley! Rawley!
lt wasn't my idea!
l didn't mean to send you away,
baby. Oh, l love you!
Jennifer! Jesus! God, what
are you doing? Get back in the car!
Look at him.
He's driving crazy.
A willow in the wind.
- Get back in the car!
- l just want to see his face!
Jennifer, for goodness' sake,
l'm shutting the sun --
Get back!
Just get back in!
Bloody hell!
l feel her sadness.
l mean, sending away..
..her only child.
l don't understand that.
But then, l do.
Jennifer, for God's sake,
what exactly is the trauma here?
Our little soldier is going off to
military school. lt'll make him a man.
- He's seven! - And you're
acting about the same age.
Have you ever considered,
lightening your hair?
- What?
- Lightening your hair.
Well, l thought maybe it'd,
you know, brighten your mood.
You know, this can be
corrected, Angelo, seriously,..
..it would be my pleasure.
- You can't. You know that.
- l understand.
- That's right. Keep the distance.
The distance.
We send our son off to military
school where he can be surrounded..
..by nothing but boys. You fire
the gardener. The place is a mess.
The furniture is in storage,
we can't even afford to get it out..
..because you invested
in some other mining stock..
..or something or other. We don't
even have a home! Brilliant!
- Where's my FedEx package, or did
you misplace it? - lt's there. - Oh!
How can you be so blas?
Don't you miss Rawley?
You know, you really have
to get a grip on this.
A grip on what?
Seriously.
What more could you want?
- You keep asking me that.
- Okay, okay, fine.
- So go out and get a job.
- Well, l had a job, remember?
But you said a mother's place
was in the home.
Besides,
who would hire me now?
Everything we funnel..
..through
to that family of theirs..
..he manages to lose.
Or squander.
Look at her now.
She's skinny.
Probably, nerves.
You know, when l'm gone,..
..you're gonna have
to take over. Be sure..
..and fatten her up.
l'm afraid you're
not goin' anywhere, okay?
Everybody's goin'..
..somewhere.
There's no need for the cannon.
Twenty-two should be all we need.
Let the old man finish his meal.
An ill wind
is blowing this way, ladies.
l am so messed up.
l just sent my baby boy
off to military academy.
Oh God! l am so wired.
- ls that what's going on?
- No, sweetie,..
..men get heart attacks. We don't.
- We don't. We don't.
Can you breathe?
Okay, blow out. That's it.
- Oh, God!
- You know what?
Momma's little helper
to the rescue.
l want you to take one of these.
Sweetie, take two. And leave
all your troubles behind. Trust me.
- What are these? - Her husband
gives them to his patients.
Well, for me,
he triples the dosage.
Jennifer, l said take two pills.
How many did you take?
l don't know!
Just what you told me!
- Well, bon voyage, darlin'.
- Oh, my God.
Scusi.
Officer!
- You're in a no parking zone.
- We're talkin' minutiae here.
What does Angelo see
in a guy like that?
l could run circles
around that pain in the ass.
- Does Malatesta know about....
- Does Malatesta what?
Know about this? There's
a lot the old man don't know.
As for you, don't sweat
the small sh*t. Do you hear me?
This frickin' song.
every time l hear it.
Yeah.
l get a twinge, too.
A twinge? What kind of person
just gets a frickin' twinge..
..when you hear a song like this?
So, what do you get?
Let me get this straight.
Are you sayin' that this little..
..distance here is not negotiable?
- The law's the law.
Okay. Well, how about
if l just pull it forward?
And how about
l just call for some backup?
How about you not?
- lf you weren't so cute.
- You watch it!
Nice shine.
Cheap after-shave.
Must be Bruno.
Any last words?
Yeah. Try the clams.
They're fabulous.
Hey! lt's a good thing l didn't
see you earlier, otherwise..
..l would had
to give you a ticket!
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hello?
What?
l'm on my way.
l'll be right there.
My son has a temperature
of a hundred and three.
Oh. He'll be all right.
You want some company?
l gotta go.
Later, lucky ones.
Good afternoon,
ladies, and welcome.
We have a very special treat
for you this afternoon.
All due to the very hard work
of our own Jennifer Barrett.
Please join me
in welcoming a celebrated author,..
..Marcello Della Rosa!
lt seems there are no men.
Pity.
lf you will indulge me,..
..l would prefer to let
my work speak for itself.
l've taken the liberty
of bringing ''Our Way'',..
..the book l published last year.
Then, if you must,
ask your questions.
But please be gentle.
''He stood on the cliffs
of Apollonia di Mare,..''
''..the cliffs of his Sicilia.''
''All about him swirled sounds
as holy as God's silence.''
''The cry of the sailor''.
''He was home''.
''With ghosts of ships
that came before''.
''Come, you Romans,
and you Greeks''.
''You dark-eyed,
Spanish moors''.
''l've waited
too long to come home, he thought''.
''For time is a thief,
