00:00:03I smell the salt in the air down the California coast,
00:00:08and it's so nice.
00:00:11There ain't nothing I know that can get me down.
00:00:15Cause 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.
00:00:33It is never too early for ice cream.
00:00:35Besides, when you've been up since 4 with the 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.
00:01:06Oh, 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, but 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.
00:01:32I'm not just gonna let that die.
00:01:36Besides, they're our biggest client. 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. I can get the Italians' attention.
00:01:53How? By sky-riding over Tuscany?
00:01:55I won't have to. My 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 Tartoria 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. Real Ruth, real women, real sauce.
00:02:28Right. It's worth a shot. Let's do this.
00:02:35Oh, that's my ride.
00:02:37Okay. Call 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.
00:03:12I'm glad you were doing it.
00:03:13I have.
00:03:24But it's crazy because of what my brand is coming up,
00:03:27you're on a cruise ship, it's finally taking open order,
00:03:27He said, the Italian tele-speciale is magnĆfico.
00:03:31Ah, grazie.
00:03:32It's a total prima donna.
00:03:34So is 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 you never think about home,
00:03:46home makes its way into the conversation.
00:03:48Look, maybe I'm linguistically nostalgic, but that's it.
00:03:53No, I'm not convinced.
00:03:56I'll let you know I've gone a whole month
00:03:58without saying piece of cake.
00:04:01Wow, progresso. You're basically Italian.
00:04:04The sass I have to deal with.
00:04:06Yeah, if sass I worried you,
00:04:08you would have left that TFS espresso.
00:04:10Yeah, good point.
00:04:11But for the record, I'm not going back.
00:04:14Not now, not ever.
00:04:21Well?
00:04:25It's not right. It still needs...
00:04:28...something.
00:04:29It's not right ever.
00:04:30It's a blessing.
00:04:32Iåå©robs to talk about how many people have fallen in
00:04:40in the tent.
00:04:48Oh
00:05:10It's her.
00:05:12Hey, you.
00:05:13Hey, Lo.
00:05:14Hi.
00:05:16Guys.
00:05:18Welcome to Destiny.
00:05:20Oh, my gosh.
00:05:21That looks amazing.
00:05:23Look at those cute buskers.
00:05:25They're adorable.
00:05:26Right?
00:05:26It feels like a dream.
00:05:28Whoa.
00:05:32Lo?
00:05:33Lo, are you okay?
00:05:35I am so, so sorry.
00:05:40Are you okay?
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:43You speak English, and thank goodness you just came out of nowhere.
00:05:47Me?
00:05:48You're the one on your phone.
00:05:50Right.
00:05:50I mean, guys, I'm close back pain.
00:05:57Are you sure you're okay?
00:05:59I'll be fine.
00:06:02I should go then.
00:06:04Again, I'm so, so sorry.
00:06:06I'm so, so sorry.
00:06:34I'm so excited to be here.
00:06:37It's so rustic.
00:06:38I am in love already.
00:06:39Go, go.
00:06:40I'll take it.
00:06:42Oh, thank you so much.
00:06:43I can't believe I'm here, honestly.
00:06:46It's my first time in Italy.
00:06:52Okay.
00:06:53I'm obsessed.
00:06:55You must be starving.
00:06:57It's my first time.
00:07:02Is this Francesca?
00:07:04Si.
00:07:05Apparently very precocious, even as a bambina.
00:07:08Bambina, I love it.
00:07:10I can't wait to meet her.
00:07:12I just want to learn everything about her.
00:07:15I was actually thinking, maybe we can get some footage 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
00:07:31si si she's here but how do I say without a disrespect
00:07:37she has made herself unaccessible
00:07:40today that's fine I'm super flexible
00:07:42not only today I told her you were coming after we DMed
00:07:47and I assume she'd be okay with it but
00:07:50she wants no association with the team sauce
00:07:53at all wait what
00:07:56she only told me today and you're ready on your flight
00:07:59honestly I was not expecting her to be so stubborn
00:08:02she has never refused a guest before
00:08:06Susie I feel terrible you come all this way
00:08:09maybe there are some other things I cannot be planned during your stay
00:08:12look she is the new face of the Russo pasta brand
00:08:16I promise you she'll love it
00:08:18it's a very doubtful she's never cared for brands
00:08:21but she is the brand
00:08:23Luca and Francesca were very close but their philosophies were very different
00:08:30Francesca believes that the sauce should be made from scratch
00:08:32ingredients and family recipes handed down through generations
00:08:36to mass produce it in the factory would be a ridicule a mockery
00:08:43amore please don't take it personally it's not your fault
00:08:47she just did not support a sluggish pasta sauce
00:08:53sluggish
00:08:55millions of Americans would disagree with you
00:08:59the Russo name means live to her anymore
00:09:01the Trattoria is a true love
00:09:04kept alive for a sentiment
00:09:15okay it's just a minor setback
00:09:18all I have to do is come up with a new rebrand
00:09:21how hard could 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
00:09:58it's my girlfriend's favorite
00:10:00makes sense I mean the crust
00:10:02the cheese the ham that doesn't taste like ham
00:10:05magnifico I will give compliments to the chef
00:10:07please do
00:10:10chef
00:10:12of course okay what if I team up with the chef for a few days
00:10:15I can get all the inspiration I need just being around the food the people the culture
00:10:21you know the Trattoria is as much the heart of the story
00:10:24meravigliosa you can still do your job just in a different way
00:10:29maybe Francesca will come around you never know
00:10:32hey uh Bella I was thinking that's uh we

00:11:15if you open that closet and find matching slippers to the rope you got on I will literally lose it
00:11:20and it also smells like fresh flowers everywhere
00:11:24I mean you know how much I love country numbers but I gotta admit you're living the dream
00:11:30yeah except now that Francesca has completely blown me off I now have to redesign a whole new campaign

00:19:39It's grazie.
00:19:41Grazie.
00:19:44I'll work on it.
00:19:46All right.
00:19:46My station, your station.
00:19:48See?
00:19:49See, chef.
00:19:50Potato gnocchi.
00:19:52First, we chop potatoes.
00:19:55Whoa.
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.
00:20:10That's it, good.
00:20:11Yep.
00:20:14Pepper, salt.
00:20:18Uh, not too much.
00:20:22That'll do.
00:20:23Flour.
00:20:23One cup of flour.
00:20:24Like 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 into, right?
00:20:34You're going to catch the yolk like 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.
00:21:05Mm.
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.
00:21:32Needs that little special something, but it'll be good.
00:21:36Mark my words.
00:21:37Wow.
00:21:37Man on a mission, huh?
00:21:38Yeah.
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?
00:21:51It's just...
00:21:51Folks around here get a little tired when tourists come and call their lives authentic.
00:21:56It just feels hollow, you know?
00:21:59Oh, I see.
00:22:00Well, how's...
00:22:03unprocessed?
00:22:06Or...
00:22:07wrong.
00:22:09Oh, okay.
00:22:10I see.
00:22:12How's that for authentic?
00:22:14Ha!
00:22:15Ha!
00:22:16Ha!
00:22:17Ha!
00:22:18Ha!
00:22:22Ha!
00:22:22Ha!
00:22:25Ha!
00:22:26Ha!
00:22:27Ha!
00:22:28Ha!
00:22:28Ha!
00:22:29Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
00:22:33Hey, it's me.
00:22:34I just got off the phone with the Russo board in New York.
00:22:37Definitely getting the vibe they're gonna kill our contract.
00:22:39So, how's the new campaign coming along?
00:22:43Going great.
00:22:45Because meaningful storytelling
00:22:47just comes out of thin air.
00:23:09.
00:23:13.
00:23:15.
00:23:16Oh
00:23:40Tipico turista bella musica
00:23:46Tipico turista bella musica
00:24:02So I hear you're making your mark on my family's business
00:24:09So you do speak English of course I speak English. What do you think I have spaghetti for brains?
00:24:17Well, tell me
00:24:19What are you fussing over this tomato sauce?
00:24:23Your brother Luca he had a real passion for the US company and now he's gone. There's no one to
00:24:29hand it down to
00:24:30So do you think you owe it to him to save it? Well, 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 with Russo
00:24:41sauce
00:24:42Kept us fed more times than I can count not to mention 50 years in the business. That's a big
00:24:47deal
00:24:4750 years. Oh, 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 I had no idea
00:25:01Congratulations
00:25:02Toscana 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 team
00:25:20Sealed out so it stretches father
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 sure some may prefer homemade to off the shelf
00:25:46But for busy working families
00:25:47Russo serves a very practical purpose and there's nothing wrong with that
00:25:53If I were you, I'd be so proud
00:26:01Yet 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
00:26:26Good night Lauren
00:26:48Mason, it's time to close the key
00:26:52I'll catch you tomorrow
00:26:53I want to try a few new ratios first
00:26:57Why this fixation with the gnocchi it's becoming strange
00:27:00You know why it's still missing something
00:27:08Hey some of the best chefs in the world take years to perfect the recipe
00:27:11The Russo sauce took decades
00:27:13You're gonna work in the kitchen you're gonna be willing to give it your all
00:27:18I thought the reason you came here is so that you didn't have to keep giving it your all no
00:27:24I think maybe you should ask yourself
00:27:28Is this a gnocchi more than just a gnocchi
00:27:31See I think this would be very illuminate and helpful for everyone
00:27:35Okay, okay. All right. Thank you for the suggestion
00:27:37We'll see you tomorrow
00:27:41Good night
00:27:42Good night

00:40:15Okay, how about you stick to making it taste good, and I'll make it sound good.
00:40:20Yeah.

00:40:23I think it's got legs.
00:40:25Are you being funny?
00:40:26No, it stopped 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.
00:40:39Yeah.
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 they get it to be rich and silky?
00:41:01Toss a coin and ask the fountain.
00:41:02Decided about first meeting.
00:41:04It was, like, weeks ago.
00:41:18Come on.
00:41:20Come on.
00:41:21Come on.
00:41:38Cute.
00:41:39Is that?
00:41:40It's Allegra, 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.
00:41:53Wow.
00:41:54Mm-hmm.
00:41:58Who, me?
00:42:04Whoa.
00:42:06Do they see these moves in culinary school?
00:42:09You'd be surprised what they put a rugged chef through.
00:42:15Well, you've definitely found your calling.
00:42:18The dancing or the cooking?
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.
00:42:41Just 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.
00:42:59Excuse me.
00:43:00Amici miei, this is for you, mia bella.
00:43:08What a compliment.
00:43:10Oh, Bruno's famous, you know?
00:43:13Ah.
00:43:16That's it.
00:43:19It's so simple.
00:43:21I-I gotta go.
00:43:23I'll see you both tomorrow.
00:43:32Gracie is finally napping.
00:43:34Great.
00:43:36Great.
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.
00:43:52Hey, we're not there yet.
00:43:55The first five years are always brutal.
00:43:58You knew that going in.
00:44:00Doesn't make it any easier to swallow.
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:07Lo?
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.
00:44:52See, guest list confirmed, 6 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, can 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?
00:45:22My supplier is out of trout.
00:45:26You up for a road trip?
00:45:28Si. I'll grab the camera.
00:45:33Are we taking the truck?
00:45:35Nope.
00:45:35Oh, God.
00:45:37I'm walking.
00:45:42Oh, God.
00:45:49Oh, God.
00:45:56I am walking.
00:46:03Yeah.
00:46:05Oh, God.
00:46:06Yup.
00:46:08Well, that could have gone worse.
00:46:10La Vespa in Liberta.
00:46:12La Vespa is freedom.
00:46:17Well, okay, now, I am no fisherwoman,
00:46:19but even I know that we're gonna need more than our bare hands
00:46:23to go fishing for trout.
00:46:24See that guy over there by the boathouse?
00:46:27Cat's out 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 Matty 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,
00:47:06your phone will be ringing up 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?
00:47:18I knew it.
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:21Marcello!
00:47:22Ciao!
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, could pull off anything you set your mind to.
00:47:45Miss, uh, what was it again?
00:47:47Trailblazer and new business award.
00:47:49Oh, well, 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.
00:48:10My parents are pretty eager to get me home too, that's for sure.
00:48:14What made you leave?
00:48:19I used to run this kitchen back in San Francisco.
00:48:22High-end place.
00:48:24Success meant being the best, no matter what it took.
00:48:28One day I realized I hadn't tasted my own food in weeks.
00:48:33You know, I was too busy yelling at lying cooks and chasing perfection.
00:48:38I was on the verge of burnout.
00:48:41So I quit.
00:48:42I didn'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.
00:48:53It sounds like you did the hardest thing.
00:48:57Walking away from all of that?
00:48:59Being true to yourself?
00:49:01That takes real strength.
00:49:05Thanks.
00:49:09So, what brought you to Italy?
00:49:13Well, I was actually on my way to Australia.
00:49:16The plan was to hire a combi and travel the outback.
00:49:21Check out witchetty grubs and damper rolls.
00:49:23Back off the beaten path again?
00:49:25Yeah.
00:49:26And then I found Tuscany.
00:49:29Fell in love.
00:49:32Found what I was looking for.
00:49:36Sounds romantic.
00:49:42Speaking of finding what you were looking for, I've been thinking about your gnocchi.
00:49:45Oh, yeah?
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:46You know, the something special you were looking for?
00:49:49You should try aji amarillo sauce.
00:49:51It's made from yellow chili.
00:49:52It will add a bit of a kick, but it pairs perfectly with gnocchi.
00:49:57Highly recommended.
00:49:58Peppers?
00:49:59I hadn't considered that.
00:50:01Hey.
00:50:02Sometimes the most unexpected combinations get the best results.
00:50:06Thanks for the tip.
00:50:08Might just use that.
00:50:14This is magical.
00:50:22Here.
00:50:22Let me take a photo of you.
00:50:23The light is just perfect right now.
00:50:25Nah.
00:50:26It's okay.
00:50:29Let's just keep this one for us.
00:50:32Yeah.
00:50:50All right.
00:50:51Here we go.
00:50:53That poem already.
00:50:55One, two, three.
00:50:56I must have helmet hair.
00:50:58Do I?
00:51:02Actually, you're perfect.
00:51:04You're just saying this 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.
00:51:36Hello.
00:51:38Oh, my gosh.
00:51:39Hi.
00:51:40Hi.
00:51:42Maddie, this is Mason.
00:51:43Mason, this is my cousin Maddie.
00:51:44Nice to meet you.
00:51:45Hi.
00:51:46Oh, my gosh.
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 gosh.
00:52:07I love it.
00:52:08How did you get everybody in the same room?
00:52:10Oh, come on.
00:52:11Free 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.
00:52:20But with this whole Francesca and Zocul situation, anything could 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, 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.
00:52:56You know, we...
00:52:56What?
00:52:57Coni complimenti de lo chef.
00:52:58Grazie, Paolo.
00:53:02Okay, 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.
00:53:12Or the drinks.
00:53:13Mm-hmm.
00:53:16Also, kind of felt like I was interrupting something earlier.
00:53:20You 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.
00:53:31But 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.
00:54:04It's true.
00:54:17Well, thanks for having me nourishing a bit, too.
00:54:22Uhhuh...
00:54:24Come on, he was super...
00:54:28Jim and Ralph.
00:54:28What are you talking about?
00:54:28What's ourļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ suitable for?
00:54:30Are you going to eat yogurt...
00:54:31It's not really because thereborton that has no ģ¤jad, then...
00:54:32It's not really high for our producer, but.
00:54:33Go and collect your friend 20-10-2012ŠµŠ³Š¾ day,
00:54:33come on...
00:54:35Yes.
00:54:39Wow!
00:54:47That's the guy I saw Francesco with. He's gotta be from Zola.
00:54:56Looking for someone?
00:55:06Actually, I've heard about you, Loren, vero? And, uh, Mehdi 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.
00:55:18Take over what? The tattoria?
00:55:21Si, of course. You know, Francesca needed some convincing, but in the end, everything has a price.
00:55:29Actually, I wanted to talk to you about your brand company.
00:55:32Brand Pantry.
00:55:33Whatever you call it.
00:55:35Impressive digital footprint, yeah?
00:55:37And since the American market is where we're headed and you understand pasta brands,
00:55:42Zoku would like to pick you on a retainer.
00:55:45Huh?
00:55:47I'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.
00:55:55We're more into 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.
00:56:03In fact, we may even change the names.
00:56:06Okay, I've heard enough.
00:56:08Oh.
00:56:09Benissimo.
00:56:10No, no bellissimo.
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 Zoku decides to deal with the Russo brand, if it doesn't honor the family legacy, then it's not
00:56:27good business.
00:56:29And that's something we can't be a part of.
00:56:34A pity.
00:56:36I commend your spirit.
00:56:37But the reality is you are painfully naive.
00:56:42Arrivederci.
00:56:46What?
00:56:52Puma, 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?
00:57:05Spectaculare.
00:57:06You did it.
00:57:06Your signature gnocchi.
00:57:08Yeah, well, it wasn't my idea.
00:57:10This one's all Lauren.
00:57:11At least she's in the wrong industry.
00:57:13Oh, 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...
00:57:27You 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.
00:57:38I mean, what if she...
00:57:41I mean, we're both...
00:57:43Not everything needs to be spelled out, does it?
00:57:50Does it?
00:57:53Your face is saying it's...
00:57:55Time to insert grand romantic gesture here.
00:57:59Si, vai, vai!
00:58:00Okay, okay, okay.
00:58:02Topedo.
00:58:04Mio tio.
00:58:12Mmm.
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.
00:58:24Just 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.
00:58:34Every business goes through this at one point.
00:58:36It's the fork in the road.
00:58:38You'd rather 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?
00:58:47Okay, Lo, we're gonna figure this out.
00:58:48Together.
00:58:49Like we always do.
00:58:51Will we, though?
00:58:53Well...
00:58:54Cuz 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 s...
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?
00:59:46Did that Vesperide shake a few screws loose?
00:59:51Remember what Tia says?
00:59:52You can never go wrong if you follow two things.
00:59:55Your gut and your heart.
00:59:58Yeah.
01:00:00Typical me.
01:00:02Developing 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.
01:00:10Love is a luxury I can't afford right now.
01:00:12No, please.
01:00:13Love isn't a luxury.
01:00:14It'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.
01:00:33What can I say?
01:00:34And it's not easy being right all the time.
01:00:39Okay.
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:48Okay.
01:00:51Okay.
01:00:53Okay.
01:00:55Okay.
01:01:07So, this doesn't fit, man.
01:01:35Hey, Bella.
01:01:37Okay.
01:01:38I was thinking that we could sit the press from La Nazione across from Italia One and
01:01:43then Francesca next to the mayor.
01:01:44She would like that, right?
01:01:45Perfecto.
01:01:46Okay, cool.
01:01:48So, how did it go?
01:01:50How did what go?
01:01:52Last night, Mason, he went to see you at the villa.
01:01:56I didn't see me and Maddie.
01:02:23Hey.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:24Hey.
01:02:25What do you think about this menu?
01:02:27I'm obsessed with this typeface.
01:02:29See?
01:02:30Yeah, looks good.
01:02:34Is that?
01:02:37Yep.
01:02:38Well, first attempt.
01:02:40What?
01:02:44Oh.
01:02:46That's amazing.
01:02:48You did it.
01:02:50Well.
01:02:51Well, 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, I wanted you to remember that your time here, it meant something.
01:03:15I love it.
01:03:18You love the brain, too.
01:03:20Yeah, 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 US.
01:03:35Oh, is that so?
01:03:36Mm-hmm.
01:03:38Yeah.
01:03:39Yeah.
01:03:39Well, shame we don't live in the same city.
01:03:43Yeah, then I could meet Bronco.
01:03:45Yeah.
01:03:45We could talk food.
01:03:47And family.
01:03:49Typeface.
01:03:51Authenticity.
01:03:52Oh.
01:03:53I'd love to.
01:03:56Yeah.
01:04:00But...
01:04:01Maddie probably needs me.
01:04:03Yeah.
01:04:03I'm just gonna...
01:04:04That was really good.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:05As well.
01:04:06The brain.
01:04:08Yeah.
01:04:08It's gonna...
01:04:11There.
01:04:13There.
01:04:13How are we doing now?
01:04:17Is that right?
01:04:18No, no.
01:04:18Stop.
01:04:18Date sit in.
01:04:24Come on.
01:04:26Come on.
01:04:29Come on.
01:04:31Francesca
01:04:33Oh, that delicious
01:05:03Apro gli occhi e tu
01:05:07Sei qui vicino a me
01:05:12Son felice di
01:05:17Saperti accanto a me
01:05:20Legacy isn't something tangible
01:05:24That's handed down from generation to generation
01:05:29It's about the relationships that we build along the way
01:05:37Bringing them together
01:05:41The Russo name encapsulates
01:05:43The importance of familia and friends
01:05:46All across America
01:05:56This is their gift to you
01:06:00From Italy
01:06:01With love
01:06:24Let's make a toast
01:06:28Cento anni
01:06:29To Lauren
01:06:31Who had this beautiful idea
01:06:33Si
01:06:33To Lauren
01:06:35To familia
01:06:38From Italy
01:06:40With love
01:06:47Oh, Nona Nona would be so proud
01:06:50One hundred unforgettable years
01:06:54To Luca
01:07:10Eh, si, eh?
01:07:12Alas
01:07:12All good things must come to an end
01:07:17It appears someone forgot to invite me
01:07:19But don't be preoccupate, eh?
01:07:22It does not matter
01:07:23Francesca
01:07:24Is this a good time?
01:07:27No, Enzo
01:07:30Not here
01:07:31It's not far like it, Retina
01:07:33This is the perfect setting
01:07:34Amongst family and friends
01:07:37Amante
01:07:38You must tell them
01:07:39I said no, Enzo
01:07:42And when a woman says no
01:07:44She means no
01:07:46Now, vatene, vai
01:07:50Shall I remind you, Francesca
01:07:52That we had a deal
01:07:59I've changed my mind
01:08:05The Russo legacy belongs to us
01:08:10Well, that's a little too late
01:08:12The contract has been negotiated
01:08:15And it's as good as signed
01:08:17I'd be careful if I were you, Enzo
01:08:20Rebel promises don't really hold up and challenged
01:08:25You wouldn't dare
01:08:28Actually, I believe she would
01:08:30Excuse me?
01:08:31What do you know?
01:08:33I know that when anything is as good as signed
01:08:35It means it's not signed
01:08:36They teach you that on day one
01:08:38We shook on it
01:08:40Shook on it?
01:08:41How painfully naive of you
01:08:44Certamente
01:08:45La stretta di mano
01:08:46La stretta di mano in Italy
01:08:48Is a binding agreement in court
01:08:50Oh, please
01:08:50I lunch with three of the best lawyers in California
01:08:54Handshakes don't scare us
01:08:57You heard, Francesca
01:08:58I think you need to leave
01:09:02You can be as short as I will
01:09:04Vatene via
01:09:05Face de stagno
01:09:06Se indesiderato riponiente
01:09:12Mamma mia, non ci segredo
01:09:16Ciao, Enzo
01:09:17Ciao
01:09:37I didn't know you were
01:09:38Or 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
01:09:47About the Russo legacy
01:09:50Belonging to you?
01:09:51It's a wonderful campaign, Loren
01:09:53It's full of heart
01:09:55And it honors the past
01:09:57And it points to a bright future
01:10:00But, uh, even with the rebrand
01:10:03It's, uh, going to be better than I ever imagined
01:10:10And the trattoria?
01:10:12Of course it stays
01:10:14Oh, Dios mio, Dios mio, Francesca, gracias
01:10:18All in a day's work
01:10:23Oh, my gosh
01:10:24What is this texture?
01:10:27The polite crunch
01:10:36And how long has this been going on?
01:10:38Ah, it's amore
01:10:41Cool
01:11:00It's been a memorable week
01:11:04Yeah, you can say that again
01:11:07After tonight
01:11:08I was thinking you and Loren might, um
01:11:12Nah, she goes home tomorrow
01:11:15Besides, I mean, she can't run
01:11:18The new campaign from here
01:11:20It's just
01:11:21It's not possible
01:11:23We're both knowing
01:11:25Excuse me, but
01:11:26Why are you in your pajamas?
01:11:28Because I'm done with meetings
01:11:30And I'm about to go to sleep
01:11:32But it's your last night
01:11:35Mads, look
01:11:36I know where you're going with this
01:11:38Then why aren't you going with it?
01:11:40We're not geographically aligned right now
01:11:42So what's the point?
01:11:44Yeah, it's just
01:11:47I 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
01:11:57In a Toscana kitchen
01:11:58Que sacralegio
01:12:02It was because I saw a kindred spirit
01:12:07Someone desperate
01:12:08To rekindle their passion
01:12:12Not just for cooking
01:12:14But for living
01:12:16Geography has nothing to do with it
01:12:17Just tell him how you feel
01:12:20But I can't expect for him
01:12:22To give up on his dreams
01:12:23When I won't give up on mine
01:12:24But how do you know
01:12:25What his dreams are actually even made of?
01:12:27Better still
01:12:28Maybe he wants to make new ones
01:12:31You worked hard
01:12:32To allow yourself to heal
01:12:36And now it's time to take the next step
01:12:40Sharing this stuff
01:12:41With the people you love
01:12:42Is what life is all about
01:12:45Life is only worth living
01:12:49When we can share it
01:12:51With the ones we love
01:13:00Don't confuse what you think you want
01:13:03With what you actually need
01:13:22I've made a mistake, haven't I?
01:13:24Get moving, girl
01:13:42Hello?
01:13:44Hey
01:13:45Just mister
01:13:47Check the chatteria
01:13:48Grazie a lot
01:13:53I'll see you guys
01:14:17How's it?
01:14:32I found you.
01:14:33Well, technically speaking, I found you, so 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, after you've finished the coin toss.
01:14:47What a coincidence. I'm already done. Go 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?
01:15:16Toby!
01:15:19Everything okay?
01:15:21Si, it's better than okay. I just came from a board meeting, and it was a unanimous yes.
01:15:27But they agreed.
01:15:29Agreed to what?
01:15:30To Mason running a Trattoria Russo in San Diego.
01:15:34And Bella is going to be taking over the running of the Trattoria here.
01:15:41I may not have my own bambini, but I was wrong to think I had no family.
01:15:47Because here you all are.
01:15:50But that's enough now.
01:15:51I have to go.
01:15:52I have a date with Dario.
01:15:54Who?
01:15:55The mayor.
01:15:56Oh, okay.
01:15:58So until we meet again, ciao.
01:16:07Is this for real?
01:16:10Yep.
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.
01:16:24Of course.
01:16:25Besides, you'll need an efficient team to build you the perfect marketing plan.
01:16:30I was hoping to find an award-winning, trailblazing creative who might be able to steer me in the right
01:16:37direction.
01:16:38You know anyone?
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?
01:16:53He's tall.
01:16:55And handsome.
01:16:59And rugged?
01:17:02I was thinking the authentic type, you know?
01:17:07Is this authentic enough for you?
01:17:09Yeah.
01:18:02I was thinking the authentic type, you know?
01:18:05I was thinking, okay, well, if he does Pent
