An utterly tragic episode, Silenzio unfolds almost exclusively in the mountains of Calabria.

As played by Harris Dickinson and Arcangeli, Paul and Angelo are two beautiful boys merely trying to survive.

Church bells ring and everyone gathers in the town square of the nearest village.

As if thats not intense enough, Angelo tells Paul that his family is now doomed.

They will be shunned until the day they die.

Its cruel not to do so.

While Gail Gettys panic grows, Paul and Angelo struggle to survive.

They find blackberries in the woods, but theyre not ripe enough to provide sustenance.

They almost get caught, but ditch their chasers in a small riverbed.

Theyve now both saved each others lives.

And Paul promises to take Angelo all the way to New York.

Who do we know on the trains?

he asks, revealing that even this path out of Calabria wont work.

Primo wants to kill Getty, but Don Salvatore wants him alive.

He wants tobethe Gettys.

Angelo and Paul wake up on the train, but theyre yet again on the verge of capture.

As flashlights and voices break the night, they jump off and run into the darkness.

He warns that everyone will have a go at kill them.

They find their way into a house and Paul makes a call to his mom.

Just as Gail answers, Primo and his crew show up, forcing the boys to run again.

Primo picks up the phone and mocks Gail, saying 17 million dollars before he hangs up.

Paul senses the danger first, but doesnt act.

Clearly, these people are trying to keep Angelo and Paul there until Primo can get there.

We see the woman in the other room praying as the boys drink more brandy and eat more food.

We hear another shot and cut to Gail in her kitchen, where she drops a glass.

She cant explain it, but she knows something horrible just happened.

Silenzio is the shortest episode so far, almost 20 minutes shorter than the season premiere.

Thats her doing the female vocals on Tubthumping.

What do you want or expect from the second half?

Whos your MVP of the first half?

Fraser and Sutherland are good, but Id go with Harris Dickinson.

His performance has driven the show so far.
