00:00:04I smell the salt in the air down the California coast,
00:00:08and it's so nice.
00:00:11There ain't nothing at all that can get me down.
00:00:14Cause I'm living it up on this merry-go-round.
00:00:19I feel so alive.
00:00:21Yeah, I'm letting go.
00:00:23I'm living my life.
00:00:27Hey, guys.
00:00:28I come bearing gifts.
00:00:31Maddie, it is 9.14 in the morning.
00:00:33And it's never too early for ice cream.
00:00:35Besides, when you've been up since 4 with a baby,
00:00:38this already feels past lunch.
00:00:41Oh, my gosh.
00:00:42This is why I love being a food-focused agency.
00:00:45Oh, come on. You can't say no.
00:00:48Okay, fine. You win.
00:00:55That is so good.
00:01:03I know what your business brain is thinking.
00:01:05Oh, you mean you flying to Italy on our dime to rescue some struggling company
00:01:10and go on some wild goose chase before they even renew our contract?
00:01:14Gee, what is my business brain thinking?
00:01:17That it's a bad idea?
00:01:19I know that you spend weeks in this campaign.
00:01:21Oh, good weeks.
00:01:23Mads, Luca spent the last 50 years building up the Russo brand in the U.S.
00:01:27He was able to take his small family name and make it global.
00:01:31I'm not just gonna let that die.
00:01:36Besides, they're our biggest client and we need them.
00:01:38Without the green light from Tuscany, you know the U.S. board is never gonna approve a total rebrand.
00:01:43It makes more sense for them to tighten the belt and tear up our contract when it expires next month.
00:01:48That's why I need to go there myself.
00:01:50I can get the Italian's attention.
00:01:52How? By sky-riding over Tuscany?
00:01:55I won't have to.
00:01:56My source has told me exactly who I need to find.
00:02:00This is Luca's sister, Francesca Russo, now the sole heir to the Russo family.
00:02:07And she still owns the original Trattoria on Tuscan family land.
00:02:12This is exactly what the brand is missing.
00:02:15We lean into this, go full origin story.
00:02:18The whole campaign is about her being the new face of Russo's pasta sauce.
00:02:22She's the heartbeat.
00:02:24Real roots, real women, real sauce.
00:02:28Right.
00:02:29It's worth a shot.
00:02:31Let's do this.
00:02:36That's my ride.
00:02:37Okay.
00:02:38Call me when you get there and have a safe flight.
00:02:42Ciao.
00:02:44And if you happen to stumble upon a ridiculously handsome Italian guy, don't overthink it.
00:02:51Bye, Mads.
00:02:57Bye.
00:03:08Bye.
00:03:24Roberto insisted that I give compliments to the chef.
00:03:27He said the Italian tele-speciale is magnifico.
00:03:31Grazie.
00:03:32It's a total prima donna.
00:03:33It's always a porcini cream.
00:03:35Knocks it out of the park every time.
00:03:39The park.
00:03:40Is this another American expression?
00:03:43Ah, for someone who claims never think about home, home makes its way into the conversation
00:03:47ello.
00:03:49Look, maybe I'm linguistically nostalgic, but that's it.
00:03:53Non es uno convinto.
00:03:56I'll let you know I've gone a whole month without saying piece of cake.
00:04:01Wow, progreso.
00:04:02You're basically Italian.
00:04:04The sass I have to deal with.
00:04:05Yeah, if sass I worried you, you would have left that dear first espresso.
00:04:10Yeah, good point.
00:04:11But for the record, I'm not going back.
00:04:14Not now.
00:04:15Not ever.
00:04:20Well?
00:04:24It's not right.
00:04:26It still needs... something.
00:04:32It's not okay.
00:04:35It's not so wrong.
00:04:39It's not okay.
00:04:49It's not okay.
00:04:55It's just a good song.
00:04:57It's just a good song.
00:05:09it's her hey you hello hi guys oh my gosh that looks amazing look at those cute buskers
00:05:24are adorable right it feels like a dream
00:05:32lo lo are you okay i am so so sorry are you okay yeah you speak english oh thank goodness
00:05:44you just came out of nowhere me you're the one on your phone right i mean guys i'm putting
00:05:52you back me are you sure you're okay i'll be fine
00:06:02i should go then again i'm so so sorry
00:06:26isabella hi it's me lauren
00:06:34i'm so excited to be here it's so rustic i'm in love already go go i'll take it oh thank
00:06:42you so
00:06:43much i can't believe i'm here honestly it's my first time in italy
00:06:51okay i'm obsessed you must be starving
00:07:01is this francesca si apparently very precocious even as a bambina bambina i love it i can't wait
00:07:11to meet her i just want to learn everything about her i was actually thinking maybe we can get some
00:07:17footage of her cooking
00:07:21is something wrong
00:07:25francesca she's not coming
00:07:29but when we talked you said that she was here often si si si she's here but
00:07:33how do i say without a disrespect uh she has made herself unaccessible
00:07:40today that's fine i'm super flexible
00:07:42uh uh not only today i told her you were coming after we dm'd and i assumed she'd be okay
00:07:49with it but
00:07:50she wants no association with the tin sauce at all wait what she only told me today and you're
00:07:58ready on your flight honestly i was not expecting her to be so stubborn she has never refused a guest
00:08:04before scorsi i feel terrible you come all this way maybe there are some other things i cannot be
00:08:11planned during your stay but look she is the new face of the russo pasta brand look i promise you
00:08:18she'll love it it's a very doubtful she's never cared for brands but she is the brand
00:08:24luca and francesca were very close but their philosophies were very different francesca believes
00:08:30that the sauce should be made from scratch ingredients and family recipes handed down
00:08:35through generations to to mass produce it in the factory would be a ridicule a mockery
00:08:43more please don't take it personally it's not your fault she does you're not support a sluggish pasta sauce
00:08:53sluggish okay millions of americans would disagree with you
00:08:59the russo name means live to her anymore the trattoria is a true love kept alive for a sentiment
00:09:15okay it's just a minor setback all i have to do is come up with a new rebrand how hard
00:09:22could it be
00:09:22look at where i am
00:09:44oh wow
00:09:54this is the most sublime pizza i've ever tasted it's my girlfriend's favorite it makes sense i mean

00:10:16the inspiration i need
00:10:18just being around the food the people the culture you know the trattoria is as much the heart of the
00:10:23story you can still do your job just in a different way maybe francesca will come around you never know

00:13:01chau
00:13:02chau
00:13:03chau
00:13:04So, how long you been in Italy?
00:13:07About two years now.
00:13:11I'm jealous.
00:13:12Have you ever seen the movie Under the Tuscan Sun?
00:13:15Paolo, mazzerata, por favore.
00:13:18Just like Trader Joe's, only cuter.
00:13:38Is that Russo's pasta sauce?
00:13:42That...
00:13:45is Russo's real pasta sauce, passed down through generations.
00:13:50Smells just as good as the tins back home.
00:13:53Tins?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:55Okay, that's enough. Service starts in 30 minutes. You need to go.
00:13:58Okay, but just...
00:13:59No, no, no. Out, please.
00:14:08How am I supposed to create content for a food campaign when he won't let me near the food?
00:14:13Doesn't he get it? I'm here to help.
00:14:16Typically, it's a chef's job to be a brutto.
00:14:19Don't take it personally. He'll come around.
00:14:37You're still here. I haven't given up yet, huh?
00:14:41You know, contrary to what you may think, I'm only doing my job.
00:14:45Which is just as important as yours, actually.
00:14:48So all I need is for you to let me get on with it, okay?
00:14:50And another thing.
00:14:52Russo's pasta sauce?
00:14:54Sure, it's sold in a tin can, but it holds a special place in millions of people's hearts.
00:14:59Including mine.
00:15:00And as a chef, you should appreciate that.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:08Okay.
00:15:10You make a fair point.
00:15:12Oh.
00:15:13Well, good.
00:15:14Does this mean...
00:15:16Yes.
00:15:17I will help you with your project.
00:15:20Only if you lose the phone.
00:15:22Not gonna happen.
00:15:23Thought you wanted to create something meaningful here.
00:15:25Yeah, and I need to document it with my camera.
00:15:27It's not a real camera.
00:15:29Look, I just need to get the content, okay? It's part of my job.
00:15:32What we do here is not about content.
00:15:35It's about connecting.
00:15:39That's not bad. Did you just come up with that yourself?
00:15:42You're welcome to use my real camera anytime.
00:15:46Fine.
00:15:47Great.
00:15:48We'll see you back here bright and early.
00:15:50Bring it back.
00:15:51For what?
00:15:53Market day.
00:15:54You got it, chef.
00:16:05So I'm guessing you're a regular around here.
00:16:09Yeah, I could say that.
00:16:11Francesca's had a tap here for years.
00:16:13This place is so gorgeous.
00:16:19Okay.
00:16:20If you're so against social media, how do you attract new customers?
00:16:24It just happens organically.
00:16:26Have you ever been on a hike, gone off a beaten path?
00:16:29Ended up somewhere unexpected, like a waterfall or a lake.
00:16:33Ended up in a Zumba class once, wasn't planned, definitely not organic.
00:16:40So what are you hoping to get out of all this?
00:16:43I just want to create a fresh new campaign that really represents what the sauce meant to me growing up.
00:16:51You know, the magic it makes people feel. Not just like a can on the shelf.
00:16:57You don't often see brands caring about people.
00:17:00They should.
00:17:01Brands give a sense of belonging.
00:17:03They make memories between friends and families.
00:17:05Memories that last forever.
00:17:09Here.
00:17:12Fragola.
00:17:13From Londra.
00:17:14To good food.
00:17:15You can actually taste where it's from.
00:17:19This is so sweet.
00:17:21Mm-hmm, right?
00:17:22Oh my gosh.
00:17:23Definitely the best strawberry I've ever had.
00:17:24Hold up, this could go viral, I'm just saying.
00:17:27When will literally package this in stores back home?
00:17:30Mm.
00:17:31Make a lot of money.
00:17:34Here.
00:17:36Lavender or pistachio?
00:17:38Mmm.
00:17:44Mm.
00:17:45Oh my goodness.
00:17:47The crunch without the crumbs.
00:17:49Mm-hmm.
00:17:49They call that the polite crunch.
00:17:51Mm.
00:17:52Café?
00:17:53Mm.
00:17:53Almond Americano grande frappe.
00:17:56Uh, por favore.
00:17:58Por favore, por favore.
00:18:00Mm.
00:18:00You got it.
00:18:03So nice.
00:18:04Is everything back home as complicated as your coffee?
00:18:07Mm-hmm.
00:18:08Having choices isn't a bad thing.
00:18:10Ask the macarons.
00:18:16Espresso.
00:18:18Radical in its simplicity.
00:18:20Cheers.
00:18:23Mm.
00:18:25Mm.
00:18:28That's really good.
00:18:28I'm not mad.
00:18:30I'm not mad.
00:18:37Ah, buongiorno, Francesca.
00:18:40Tesori miei.
00:18:41Qui dentro c'è un bon profumo.
00:18:44Meet Lauren.
00:18:46Hi.
00:18:50Francesca.
00:18:51It is such a pleasure to meet you.
00:18:53Your reputation precedes you.
00:18:55Your trattoria.
00:18:57Your family.
00:18:58I'm in awe.
00:19:04Um...
00:19:05I-I've been getting to know the trattoria and the markets.
00:19:09Una zanzara umana.
00:19:10And it's really been...
00:19:14Should I follow her?
00:19:17What did she say?
00:19:20Uh, it's an Italian expression.
00:19:22Very difficult to translate.
00:19:24Yeah, she's...
00:19:25An enigma.
00:19:38Grazie.
00:19:39It's grazie.
00:19:41Grazie.
00:19:42I-I'll work on it.
00:19:46All right.
00:19:46My station, your station.
00:19:48See?
00:19:48See, chef.
00:19:50Potato gnocchi.
00:19:52First, we chop potatoes.
00:19:54Whoa.
00:19:56Okay, where are we putting those?
00:19:58That goes into this.
00:20:00Yep.
00:20:01Put your potato in like this.
00:20:04Ooh, those are hot.
00:20:05Then you're going to squeeze it out.
00:20:09That's it, good.
00:20:11Yep.
00:20:13Pepper.
00:20:14Salt.
00:20:18Uh, not too much.
00:20:21That'll do.
00:20:23Flour.
00:20:23One cup of flour.
00:20:25Like that.
00:20:26Oh.
00:20:27Shhh.
00:20:27Okay, if I miss some, do I just add a little bit?
00:20:29Just throw a little bit more.
00:20:30Okay, just a little bit more.
00:20:31You're going to crack this.
00:20:33One, two.
00:20:33Right?
00:20:34You're going to catch the yolk.
00:20:36Like this.
00:20:37Gentle.
00:20:38That's it.
00:20:38Okay, then create like a little...
00:20:42Take that off.
00:20:43Okay.
00:20:43Good.
00:20:44Put that in here.
00:20:46Then your massage.
00:20:49Okay.
00:21:02Wow.
00:21:03This did not go to plan.
00:21:06Great.
00:21:07My humiliation immortalized on film.
00:21:1035 millimeter.
00:21:11Adds to the drama.
00:21:13You don't really see traditional film cameras much these days.
00:21:17This was my grandfather's.
00:21:19You'd be amazed at some of the beautiful shots used to capture this old thing.
00:21:22And now it's being used to capture this.
00:21:25Don't beat yourself up, right?
00:21:26It takes years of practice.
00:21:28I mean, I'm still trying to crack the perfect gnocchi recipe.
00:21:31I'm not there yet.
00:21:32It needs that little special something, but...
00:21:34It'll be good.
00:21:35Mark my words.
00:21:36Wow.
00:21:37Man on a mission, huh?
00:21:39Yeah.
00:21:41Seeing things play behind the scenes here has just been really helpful.
00:21:45It's so authentic.
00:21:48What?
00:21:49What did I say?
00:21:50Why?
00:21:50It's just...
00:21:52Folks around here get a little tired when tourists come and call their lives authentic.
00:21:56It just feels hollow.
00:21:59You know?
00:21:59Oh, I see.
00:22:00Well, how's...
00:22:03unprocessed?
00:22:06Or...
00:22:07raw?
00:22:08Oh.
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:10I see.
00:22:12How's that for authentic?
00:22:14How?
00:22:18Likewise.
00:22:44Hey, it's me.
00:22:44Because meaningful storytelling just comes out of thin air.
00:23:40Typical turista.
00:24:02So, I hear you're making your mark on my family's business.
00:24:09So, you do speak English?
00:24:11Of course, I speak English.
00:24:13Why do you think I have spaghetti for brains?
00:24:16Well, tell me.
00:24:19What's all your fussing over this tomato sauce?
00:24:23Your brother, Luca, he had a real passion for the U.S. Company, and...
00:24:27And now he's gone, and there's no one to hand it down to.
00:24:30So, do you think you owe it to him to save it?
00:24:33Well, it's not just about Luca.
00:24:37When I was a kid, the first meal me and my cousin learned how to make was spaghetti,
00:24:40with Russo sauce.
00:24:42Kept us fed more times than I can count.
00:24:44Not to mention, 50 years in the business, that's a big deal.
00:24:47Oh, 50 years?
00:24:49Oh, no, no, no.
00:24:50In America, maybe, but my family started farming on Toscana soil a century ago.
00:24:55We are 100 years old this year.
00:24:58100 years?
00:25:00I had no idea.
00:25:01Congratulations!
00:25:03It's a scum of soil.
00:25:05100 years.
00:25:07Authenticity.
00:25:08Ah, this word authenticity is so trite.
00:25:14Businesses can't afford real authenticity.
00:25:17Especially not when it's served in a tin.
00:25:20Tinned out so it stretches farther.
00:25:23Loaded with preservatives so that it lasts forever.
00:25:27Good food is made with tenderness and care.
00:25:31As though it were for your own family.
00:25:37Consumers don't know the difference, so why bother?
00:25:40Consumers are not as dumb as you think.
00:25:43Sure, some may prefer homemade to off the shelf,
00:25:45but for busy working families,
00:25:48Russo serves a very practical purpose.
00:25:50And there's nothing wrong with that.
00:25:53If I were you, I'd be so proud.
00:26:00Yet, even practical things get chewed up and spat out.
00:26:08No one could stand up to a legacy like yours.
00:26:12And that's something I want to be a part of.
00:26:18I used to think so too.
00:26:25Good night, Loren.
00:26:28Good night, Loren.
00:26:51I'll catch you tomorrow.
00:26:53I want to try a few new ratios first.
00:26:57Why this fixation with the gnocchi?
00:26:59It's becoming strange.
00:27:01You know why.
00:27:02It's still missing... something.
00:27:06Assessionato.
00:27:07Hey, some of the best chefs in the world
00:27:09take years to perfect their recipe.
00:27:11The Russo sauce took decades.
00:27:13If you're gonna work in the kitchen,
00:27:14you're gonna be willing to give it your all.
00:27:17I thought the reason you came here
00:27:20is so that you didn't have to keep giving it your all, no?
00:27:24I think maybe you should ask yourself,
00:27:27hmm, is this a gnocchi more than just a gnocchi?
00:27:31See, I think this would be very illuminated
00:27:33and helpful for everyone.
00:27:34Okay, okay.
00:27:36All right, thank you for the suggestion.
00:27:37We'll see you tomorrow.

00:40:23I think it's got legs.
00:40:25Are you being funny?
00:40:26No, it's not meant to sound funny.
00:40:28It sounded very funny.
00:40:30It was good.
00:40:37I'll, uh, meet you in the garden.
00:40:38Yeah.
00:40:42I've got to hand it to you.
00:40:43You know how to hustle.
00:40:45I mean, we might actually pull this off.
00:40:48You mean we are definitely pulling this off?
00:40:53Okay.
00:40:54Ice cream back home is great, but this is, like, next level.
00:40:58How did it get it to be rich and silky?
00:41:01Toss a coin in an acid fountain.
00:41:02Inside of our first meeting.
00:41:04It was, like, weeks ago.
00:41:06Yeah.
00:41:07Yeah.
00:41:16Mm-hmm.
00:41:19Come on.
00:41:38Cute. Is that?
00:41:40Allegra, Bella's girl.
00:41:42She's visiting from Firenze.
00:41:48I can't believe I've barely posted or even checked my feed.
00:41:51And I don't miss it.
00:41:53Whoa.
00:41:54Mm-hmm.
00:41:58Who, me?
00:42:04Whoa.
00:42:06Do they teach these moves in culinary school?
00:42:09You'd be surprised what they put a rugged chef do.
00:42:14Well, you've definitely found your calling.
00:42:18The dancing or the cookie?
00:42:21Both.
00:42:25I've seen you riding all afternoon.
00:42:28How's it going?
00:42:30Warming up.
00:42:32If someone asked, I would deny it.
00:42:35But slowing down has its advantages.
00:42:40Feels good just letting go a little.
00:42:45It's you too.
00:42:48You know, sometimes when we're not looking, the best things find us.
00:42:58Excuse me, my friend, this is for you, my Bella.
00:43:08What a compliment.
00:43:10Bruno's famous, you know?
00:43:16That's it.
00:43:19It's so simple.
00:43:21I gotta go.
00:43:23I'll see you both tomorrow.
00:43:32Gracie is finally napping.
00:43:35Great.
00:43:36This has changed me on a molecular level, by the way.
00:43:40I'm pretty sure that's just the sugar taking the edge off.
00:43:43Mm.
00:43:43Maybe.
00:43:45You spent all day investigating this local group and looking at our options.
00:43:50The brand pantry might become the empty pantry if we're not careful.
00:43:53Hey.
00:43:54We're not there yet.
00:43:56The first five years are always brutal.
00:43:58You knew that going in.
00:44:00Doesn't make it any easier to swallow.
00:44:02Yeah.
00:44:07Hello?
00:44:08Are you okay?
00:44:09Must be late there.
00:44:11It is late, and yes, I'm okay.
00:44:13Better than okay.
00:44:14I'm calling because I need a favor.
00:44:16Actually, two.
00:44:17And big ones.
00:44:36Ciao.
00:44:46Ciao, Bella.
00:44:47How's it going?
00:44:48I've got Francesca's favorite.
00:44:50And everything else is all set?
00:44:52Si.
00:44:52Guest list confirmed.
00:44:536 p.m. tomorrow.
00:44:55Someone's had a productive evening.
00:44:58I think Francesca's gonna love it.
00:45:00You don't think she has any idea, right?
00:45:02All she knows is that she's coming here for a meeting.
00:45:05Don't worry.
00:45:06She's always dressed for a party even when it's laundry day.
00:45:09All right.
00:45:10Can you stir this off with me somewhere safe?
00:45:11Mm-hmm.
00:45:14Where's Mason?
00:45:16He's not having the best day.
00:45:21Problem?
00:45:21My supplier is out of trout.
00:45:26You up for a road trip?
00:45:28Si.
00:45:29I'll grab the camera.
00:45:33Are we taking the truck?
00:45:35Nope.
00:45:35We're at.
00:46:04Yeah.
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:06Yup.
00:46:07Well, that could have gone worse.
00:46:10La Vespa in Liberta.
00:46:12La Vespa is freedom.
00:46:16Well, okay, now, I am no fisherwoman,
00:46:19but even I know that we're gonna need more than our bare hands
00:46:22to go fishing for trout.
00:46:24See that guy over there by the boathouse?
00:46:27Cass sat here every afternoon.
00:46:29Cubes.
00:46:31Let's go.
00:46:37My cuz would love it here.
00:46:39It's great you're so close with your family.
00:46:41Well, me and Maddie are.
00:46:43Especially since Mom and Dad split.
00:46:45As for the rest of us...
00:46:48Well, let's just say we are dysfunctionally functional, I guess.
00:46:52Yeah, we got our fair share of dysfunction, too.
00:46:55Divorce is tough, though.
00:46:56I mean, sorry to hear.
00:46:59I can't wait for you to see the rebrand campaign.
00:47:01I'm super excited about it.
00:47:03That sounds great.
00:47:04I mean, if all goes to plan,
00:47:05your phone will be ringing off the hook when you get home.
00:47:09Right.
00:47:11You sure you haven't started practicing in front of the mirror yet?
00:47:15If I did, I wouldn't tell you.
00:47:17See? I knew it.
00:47:18Yeah.
00:47:20Marcello! Ciao!
00:47:23Marcello!
00:47:35Pretty bold move, coming to live out here by yourself.
00:47:39I could never pull that off.
00:47:41I'm sure you of all people can pull anything you set your mind to.
00:47:45Miss, uh, what was it again?
00:47:47Trailblazer and new business award.
00:47:49Well, well, well.
00:47:51Looks like someone does know how to use the Internet after all.
00:47:54Yeah, guilty.
00:47:56Well, I wouldn't miss home either if I was surrounded by all of this.
00:48:01Yeah, sometimes I do.
00:48:02I mean, my friends, family, Bronco.
00:48:06The four-wheel of the four-legged kind?
00:48:08He's my dog.
00:48:09Uh-uh.
00:48:10Yeah, my parents are pretty eager to get me home too, that's for sure.
00:48:15What made you leave?
00:48:17Ah.
00:48:19I used to run this kitchen back in San Francisco, high-end place.
00:48:23Success meant being the best, no matter what it took.
00:48:28One day I realized I hadn't tasted my own food in weeks.
00:48:33I was too busy yelling at line cooks and chasing perfection.
00:48:38I was on the verge of burnout, so I quit.
00:48:42Didn't look back.
00:48:44Wow.
00:48:45I wanted to remember what it was like to cook because you care about people.
00:48:50Not because you want to win.
00:48:53Sounds like you did the hardest thing.
00:48:57Walking away from all of that, being true to yourself,
00:49:01that takes real strength.
00:49:05Thanks.
00:49:09So, what brought you to Italy?
00:49:12Well, I was actually on my way to Australia.
00:49:16Yeah, the plan was to, uh, hire a combi and travel the outback.
00:49:21You know, check out witchetty grubs and damper rolls.
00:49:23Back off the beaten path again?
00:49:25Back off the beaten path again?
00:49:25Yeah.
00:49:26Yeah.
00:49:26Mm-hmm.
00:49:26And then I found Tuscany.
00:49:29Fell in love.
00:49:32Found what I was looking for.
00:49:33Sounds romantic.
00:49:42Speaking of finding what you were looking for, I've been thinking about your gnocchi.
00:50:13Oh, yeah?
00:50:15Magical.
00:50:22Here, let me take a photo of you.
00:50:23The light is just perfect right now.
00:50:25Nah, it's okay.
00:50:29Let's just keep this one for us.
00:50:50All right, here we go.
00:50:53I've got a comb already.
00:50:55One, two, three.
00:50:57I must have helmet hair.
00:50:58Do I?
00:51:02Actually, you're perfect.
00:51:04You're just saying that so that I'm not self-conscious about my helmet hair.
00:51:07Not at all.
00:51:08I just think we happen to make a great team.
00:51:13We do, don't we?
00:51:16Look, this past week has been more than I could have ever expected.
00:51:23And you were a big part of that, whether you're meant to be or not.
00:51:27Well, uh, I'm just glad I got to watch you pull it all off.
00:51:36Oh, my God.
00:51:37Oh, my God.
00:51:39Hi.
00:51:40Hi.
00:51:42Maddie.
00:51:42This is Mason.
00:51:43Mason, this is my cousin Maddie.
00:51:44Nice to meet you.
00:51:45Oh, my God.
00:51:47Oh, my God.
00:51:47This is wild.
00:51:49Did you get him okay?
00:51:49How was the fight?
00:51:50Did you look around?
00:52:03Oh, my God.
00:52:04Oh, my God.
00:52:07I love it.
00:52:08How did you get everybody in the same room?
00:52:10Oh, come on.
00:52:10Free food.
00:52:13Wow.
00:52:14This is perfect, Mads.
00:52:16You're the best.
00:52:17Thank you for coming here.
00:52:18I know that it was a big ask, but with this whole Francesca and Zocul situation, anything
00:52:24could happen.
00:52:25And he just needed you here with me.
00:52:27Hey, what is family for?
00:52:29Okay?
00:52:30And it is already worth it.
00:52:33So, did you manage to find out anything else?
00:52:36Okay, it turns out Zocul is known for stripping on companies to absorb their resources.
00:52:41Ultimately, it's to remove them as competitors from the market.
00:52:43So, they're gonna kill the brand?
00:52:45Bingo.
00:52:47So, if this party flops, that's the end of Russo's pasta sauce.
00:52:51And you and me will be working overtime to make up for everything that we've put into this.
00:52:55You know, we...
00:52:56What?
00:52:57Con i complimenti de lo chef.
00:52:58Grazie, Paolo.
00:53:01Okay, I just gotta say, Lil, this trip is looking good on you.
00:53:06The dress, the hair, the lingo.
00:53:09There must be something in the food.
00:53:11Or the drinks.
00:53:13Mm-hmm.
00:53:16Also, kind of felt like I was interrupting something earlier.
00:53:19You know, with Le Chef.
00:53:22Girl, that is French again.
00:53:24Okay, Le Chef, Le Chef.
00:53:25It doesn't change the fact that he's a bit of a snack.
00:53:28In another life, maybe.
00:53:30But he loves it here so much.
00:53:33So, what's the point of starting something that we can't see through?
00:53:35It's true.
00:53:36It's true.
00:53:36It's true.
00:53:37It's true.
00:53:44No.
00:53:46No.
00:54:09Behopper.
00:54:47That's the guy I saw Francesco with. He's got to be from Zolphe.
00:54:56Looking for someone?
00:54:58Ah, aspetta, ti richiamo, va bene. Ciao.
00:55:02Ah, americane. Piacere, Vincenzo Morganella.
00:55:06Actually, I've heard about you, Loren, vero? And, uh, Maddy Navarro.
00:55:11Yeah.
00:55:13I'm putting together a plan about what we may do to this place once we take it over.
00:55:17Take over what? The tattoria?
00:55:21Si, of course. You know, Francesca needed some convincing, but in the end, everything has a price.
00:55:28Actually, I wanted to talk to you about your brand company.
00:55:32Brand Pantry.
00:55:33Whatever you call it. Impressive digital footprint, yeah?
00:55:37And since the American market is where we're headed and you understand pasta brands,
00:55:42Zolphe would like to pick you on a retainer.
00:55:45Huh?
00:55:46I'm sure we can work out a substantial boost.
00:55:50I've created this beautiful new company.
00:55:52Ah, we don't, uh, overcomplicate things.
00:55:54We're moving to the influencer partnership and market saturation sort of thing.
00:55:59That's good business.
00:56:01We have no intention of keeping the Russo brand intact.
00:56:04In fact, we may even change the name.
00:56:06Okay, I've heard enough.
00:56:08Oh.
00:56:09Benissimo.
00:56:10No, no, Benissimo.
00:56:12We only work with companies we believe in.
00:56:16Believing?
00:56:17Mm-hmm.
00:56:18Well, that doesn't pay the bills, Bella.
00:56:21Look, whatever Zolphe decides to do with the Russo brand,
00:56:24if it doesn't honor the family legacy, then it's not good business.
00:56:29And that's something we can't be a part of.
00:56:34A pity.
00:56:35I commend your spirit.
00:56:37But the reality is you are painfully naive.
00:56:42Arrivederci.
00:56:47What?
00:56:52Cuma, benissimo.
00:56:54Yeah.
00:56:56Mama mia, what is this?
00:56:58It's ahi amarillo sauce.
00:57:01Well, as close as I could get it with what I had.
00:57:03It's great, huh?
00:57:05Spectacular.
00:57:05You did it.
00:57:06Your signature gnocchi.
00:57:07Yeah, well, it wasn't my idea.
00:57:10This one's all Lauren.
00:57:11I think she's in the wrong industry.
00:57:13Ah, I should have guessed.
00:57:15What more proof do you need?
00:57:17Huh?
00:57:17Proof of what?
00:57:18A perfect worry that you two are perfect for each other.
00:57:22As a matter of fact, I'd have guessed that you were in love with her.
00:57:26I...
00:57:26You can't fool me, Mason.
00:57:28I saw the way you held her dancing at the fountain.
00:57:31You know, I have a good eye for romanticismo.
00:57:34Just admit it to yourself and go tell her how you feel.
00:57:38Yeah, but I mean...
00:57:39What if she...
00:57:41I mean, we're both...
00:57:44Not everything needs to be spelled out, does it?
00:57:50Does it?
00:57:52Your face is saying it's...
00:57:55Time to insert grand romantic gesture here.
00:57:59Si, right, right!
00:58:00Okay, okay, okay.
00:58:02Tapito.
00:58:05Mi a ti-o.
00:58:13Damn, cuz.
00:58:14That was badass.
00:58:16Then why do I feel sick to my stomach?
00:58:18I just walked away from the only real offer on the table.
00:58:21I should have just played it safe for the company, just like Francesca is.
00:58:25But instead, I'm out here on a limb with no plan B.
00:58:29What if he's right?
00:58:30What if...
00:58:31What if I am really naive?
00:58:33Oh, come on.
00:58:33Every business goes through this at one point.
00:58:36It's the fork in the road.
00:58:38You either stay true to your ideals or take a more lucrative route.
00:58:42Well, here I am, staying true to my ideals.
00:58:45Where has that gotten me?
00:58:46Okay, Lo, we're gonna figure this out, together, like we always do.
00:58:51Will we, though?
00:58:54Because I'm feeling like I'm messing up everything that really matters.
00:58:59We're not just talking about business, are we?
00:59:02Lauren, the time we've spent together has been...
00:59:06Lauren, I need to tell you how I feel.
00:59:09And that is, um...
00:59:11Look, I was so, so stupid.
00:59:14I got swept up in this place and I let my feelings call the shots.
00:59:18Me and Mason, it's fantasy land.
00:59:21We're going in two different directions.
00:59:23Wrong place, wrong time.
00:59:26Starting to think you were right.
00:59:29About what?
00:59:31I never should have come here.
00:59:43What is with this defeatist energy?
00:59:45Did that Vesperide shake a few screws loose?
00:59:50Remember what Tia says?
00:59:53You can never go wrong if you follow two things.
00:59:55Your gut and your heart.
00:59:58Yeah.
01:00:00Typical me.
01:00:01Developing a crush in the middle of a crisis.
01:00:04Well, here's a radical idea.
01:00:06Maybe you're allowed for something good to happen when everything's a mess.
01:00:09Love is a luxury I can't afford right now.
01:00:12Please, love isn't a luxury, it's necessary.
01:00:17That's a good one.
01:00:18So long as you're following your heart, you're doing the right thing.
01:00:22Trust me.
01:00:24You deserve it all, though.
01:00:26Not just the side salad, the whole damn meal.
01:00:28Okay, okay.
01:00:29You're making some really good points here, which is why you're so good at your job.
01:00:33How can I say that it's not easy being right all the time?
01:01:10You're making some really good points here.
01:01:35So, hey, Bella.
01:01:37Okay, I was thinking that we could sit the press from La Natione
01:01:40across from Italia One and then Francesca next to the mayor.
01:01:44She would like that, right?
01:01:45Perfecto.
01:01:46Okay, cool.
01:01:47So, how did it go?
01:01:50How did what go?
01:01:52Last night, Mason.
01:01:54He went to see you at the villa.
01:01:56I didn't see me and Maddie.
01:02:22Hey.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:24What do you think about this menu?
01:02:27I'm obsessed with this typeface, see?
01:02:29That looks good.
01:02:35Is that?
01:02:37Yep, well, first attempt.
01:02:45Oh, that's amazing.
01:02:48You did it.
01:02:50Well, all credit goes to you.
01:02:53Well, yeah.
01:02:56I got you a little something.
01:02:59Something to remember us by.
01:03:02No matter what happens tonight,
01:03:04I wanted you to remember that your time here, it meant something.
01:03:15I love it.
01:03:18You love the frame, too.
01:03:21Yeah, it's...
01:03:26Hey, if you're ever in San Diego, I'd love to show you around.
01:03:32We actually have the largest little Italy in the U.S.
01:03:35Oh, is that so?
01:03:36Mm-hmm.
01:03:38Yeah.
01:03:38Well, shame we don't live in the same city.
01:03:43Yeah, then I could meet Blanco.
01:03:45Yeah.
01:03:45We talk food.
01:03:47And family.
01:03:49Typeface.
01:03:51Authenticity.
01:03:52All right, I'd love to.
01:03:56I'd love to.
01:04:01Maddie probably needs me.
01:04:03Yeah, I'm just gonna...
01:04:04That was really good.
01:04:05Yeah, man.
01:04:06Because, wow, the frame.
01:04:07Yeah.
01:04:08It's good.
01:04:09Bye.
01:04:21Basta, basta.
01:04:23State, sit, state, sit.
01:04:24Vengono, vengono.
01:04:25Ma cosa sta succedendo, Bela?
01:04:29Dimmi, per favore.
01:04:30Dimmi un tuo, Francesca.
01:04:32Oh, sorpresa!
01:04:35Sorpresa!
01:04:37Sorpresa!
01:04:38Sorpresa!
01:04:39Sorpresa!
01:04:40Sorpresa!
01:04:40Sorpresa!
01:04:41Sorpresa!
01:04:43Oh, ma che delizia!
01:04:45Non ho più paura...
01:04:47Ciao!
01:04:48Ciao, Beli!
01:04:50Ciao!
01:04:50Di dirti che ti amo...
01:04:52Come stai?
01:04:53Dammi un...
01:04:54Non ho più paura...
01:04:58...di amarti come sei...
01:05:03Apro gli occhi e tu...
01:05:07Sei qui vicino a me...
01:05:12Son felice di...
01:05:16Saperti accanto a me...
01:05:20Legacy isn't something tangible...
01:05:24...that's handed down from generation to generation.
01:05:29It's about the relationships that we build along the way.
01:05:38Bringing them together.
01:05:41The Russo name encapsulates the importance of familia and friends all across America.
01:05:49Di fingere a me stesso...
01:05:53E penso che domani...
01:05:56This is their gift to you.
01:06:00From Italy...
01:06:01With love.
01:06:03Saremo ancora noi...
01:06:07Diremo ancora...
01:06:11Amore...
01:06:12Nelle vie di Roma...
01:06:24Let's make a toast.
01:06:27Cento anni.
01:06:30To Lauren...
01:06:31Who had this beautiful idea.
01:06:33Si.
01:06:34To Lauren.
01:06:35To Familia.
01:06:38From Italy...
01:06:40With love!
01:06:47Oh, Nona Nona would be so proud.
01:06:52100 unforgettable years...
01:06:55...to Luca.
01:07:10Francesca.
01:07:10That's right.
01:07:11All good things must come to an end.
01:07:17It appears someone forgot to invite me.
01:07:20But don't be preoccupate, eh?
01:07:21It does not matter.
01:07:23Francesca.
01:07:24Is this a good time?
01:07:26.
01:07:26No, Enzo. Not here.
01:07:31It's not far like a retina. This is the perfect setting amongst family and friends.
01:07:37Amante, you must tell them.
01:07:39I said no, Enzo.
01:07:42And when a woman says no, she means no.
01:07:49Shall I remind you, Francesca, that we had a deal?
01:07:59I've changed my mind.
01:08:05The Russo legacy belongs to us.
01:08:11Well, that's a little too late.
01:08:13The contract has been negotiated and it's as good as signed.
01:08:17I'd be careful if I were you, Enzo.
01:08:20Verbal promises don't really hold up when challenged.
01:08:25You wouldn't dare.
01:08:28Actually, I believe she would.
01:08:30Excuse me? What do you know?
01:08:33I know that when anything is as good as signed, it means it's not signed.
01:08:37They teach you that on day one.
01:08:38We shook on it.
01:08:40Shook on it?
01:08:41How painfully naive of you.
01:08:44Certainly.
01:08:45The press of the hands in Italy is binding agreement in court.
01:08:50Oh, please.
01:08:51I lunch with three of the best lawyers in California.
01:08:54Handshakes don't scare us.
01:08:57You hurt, Francesca.
01:08:59I think you need to leave.
01:09:02You can be as short as I will.
01:09:04Don't go away!
01:09:05Don't hurt me!
01:09:06If you don't want to go away or not, go away and don't ever see you!
01:09:11My mother, I don't believe you!
01:09:16Bye, Enzo!
01:09:18Bye!
01:09:37I didn't know you were a lawyer.
01:09:39You don't need to be a lawyer to know the law.
01:09:41Besides, it's all about attitude.
01:09:45But did you really mean what you said about the Russo legacy belonging to you?
01:09:51It's a wonderful campaign, Loren.
01:09:53It's full of heart, and it honors the past, and it points to a bright future.
01:10:01But even with the rebrand, it's going to be better than I ever imagined.
01:10:10And the Trattoria?
01:10:11Of course it stays.
01:10:14Dios mio, Dios mio, Francesca, gracias!
01:10:18All in a day's work.
01:10:23Oh, my gosh. What is this texture?
01:10:27The polite crunch.
01:10:35And how long has this been going on?
01:10:38Ah, it's amore.
01:10:41Hmm.
01:11:01It's been a memorable week.
01:11:04You can say that again.
01:11:07After tonight, I was thinking you and Loren might, um...
01:11:13Nah, it's...
01:11:14She goes home tomorrow.
01:11:16Besides, I mean, she can't run the new campaign from here.
01:11:19It's just...
01:11:21It's not possible.
01:11:23We both know it.
01:11:25Excuse me, but why are you in your pajamas?
01:11:28Because I'm done with meetings and I'm about to go to sleep?
01:11:32But it's your last night.
01:11:35Mads, look, I know where you're going with this.
01:11:38Then why aren't you going with it?
01:11:39We're not geographically aligned right now.
01:11:42So what's the point?
01:11:43You know, that's just...
01:11:46I don't know if I'm ready to go back.
01:11:51When you first arrived here,
01:11:53do you know why I hired you?
01:11:56American chef in a Toscana kitchen, que sacrilegio?
01:12:02It was because I saw a kindred spirit.
01:12:07Someone desperate to rekindle their passion.
01:12:12Not just for cooking, but for living.
01:12:16Geography has nothing to do with it.
01:12:18Just tell him how you feel.
01:12:20But I can't expect for him to give up on his dreams
01:12:23when I won't give up on mine.
01:12:24But how do you know what his dreams are actually even made of?
01:12:27Better still, maybe he wants to make new ones.
01:12:31You worked hard to allow yourself to heal.
01:12:36And now it's time to take the next step.
01:12:40Sharing the stuff with the people you love is what life is all about.
01:12:45Life is only worth living
01:12:49when we can share it with the ones we love.
01:13:00Don't confuse what you think you want with what you actually need.
01:13:21I've made a mistake, haven't I?
01:13:23Get moving, girl.
01:13:42Hello?
01:13:44Hey.
01:13:46Just mister. Check the chataria.
01:13:48Grazie, Mads.
01:13:49Thanks, Manny.
01:13:56Thanks.
01:14:01Thanks.
01:14:04Thanks, my son.
01:14:32I found you.
01:14:33Well, technically speaking, I found you, but I'm glad you're here.
01:14:38I had to get the coin tossing.
01:14:40You know how it is.
01:14:42Well, you have something important to tell you, but of course, I have to finish the coin toss.
01:14:46What a coincidence.
01:14:48I'm already done.
01:14:50Go on.
01:14:51Well, I had this crazy idea.
01:14:56Okay, I'm listening.
01:14:59This last week has got me thinking, and it made me realize that going home doesn't mean I have to
01:15:05walk the same path again.
01:15:07I get to create my own chapter.
01:15:12So, you mean you're thinking of going home, like home home?
01:15:15Hey, Kobe!
01:15:19Everything okay?
01:15:21Si, it's better than okay.
01:15:22I just came from a board meeting, and it was a unanimous yes.
01:15:55But they agreed.
01:15:57Oh, okay.
01:15:58So, until we meet again, ciao.
01:16:07Is this for real?
01:16:09Yep.
01:16:11It's all thanks to you.
01:16:14What about us?
01:16:18Well, I was hoping the offer to show me around still stands.
01:16:23Of course.
01:16:25Of course.
01:16:25Besides, you'll need an efficient team to build you the perfect marketing plan.
01:16:31I was hoping to find an award-winning trailblazing creative who might be able to steer me in the right
01:16:37direction.
01:16:37Okay.
01:16:37You know anyone?
01:16:39No.
01:16:40In exchange for an unlimited supply of macarons, I think I'd be able to find a suitable someone.
01:16:48So, uh, what'd you wish for?
01:16:53She's tall and handsome.
01:16:59And rugged.
01:17:02I was thinking the authentic type, you know?
01:17:07This authentic enough for you?
01:17:15futures.
01:17:15So, the thankful desk.
01:17:22Okay.
01:17:22Let us check it out.
01:17:22Bye.
01:17:22Bye.
01:17:26Bye.
01:17:28Bye.
01:17:29Bye.
01:17:29Bye.
01:17:30Bye.
