My lord.

Open your eyes.

Your life is in danger.

Your enemies are here to catch you.

Answer by the blood of God if you hope
to live.

Do you hear me?

It is I, Mikolato.

Mikolato.

Now.

Hear me, my lord.

The Pope, he's dead.

His holiness is dead.

Your father.

Your brother is here.

Tell us what we must do.

Your brother?

Korn? No, no, no.

Joffrey.

Joffrey.

What are we to do?

His holiness is dead.

Geoffrey. How long have I been in fever?

Six days.

Six days?

Yes.

All of this is dead.

Yes, my lord. When did he die?

A matter of hours.

I didn't think of it.

I was prepared for everything, but not
this.

There is still time, my lord. Yes, yes,
be quick, be quick.

Lock, lock the door to the Pope's
chamber.

Seize the keys.

Behind the bed, in the wall, a cupboard,
his secret treasure.

Bring it to me.

Put a guard on this door.

Yes, my lord.

Geoffrey. Yes, Chiswick.

Be loyal, or I shall slit your belly and
draw your guts.

Don Miguel, you cannot enter.

It is improper.

It's desecration.

Your soul's in danger.

Your soul is in danger.

Where are the keys?

You're two seconds from eternity,
Gaspari.

Where are the keys? No!

Wait! Where are the keys?

Under your pillow.

Get him out and lock the door.

That's quickly. There may be more.

Hi,

Lord.

Hmm.

It's all there. Not the tiara.

The servants are looting the apartments.

But there's more than 100 ,000 ducats in
gold here.

Jewels. Much more.

It'll buy a pope.

All that I need.

And more.

I have the money.

I have an army.

Cardinals lack both.

Thank you, Holy Father.

May the devil keep your soul.

I have the rest.

You mourn him?

He was our father.

Our father?

He never owned you.

Don't fear, little brother.

You shall have your share.

Only be a lawyer.

Be a lawyer.

My enemies.

What news?

The French and Spanish forces are
nearing the city.

There's very little time.

Who commands?

The Spanish forces led by Prospero
Colonna.

He's at Marino, a few hours' march away.

The French forces will take some days
yet to reach the city.

Keep my forces here.

See they are paid.

Send word to the Romagna.

Geoffrey.

What must I do?

Bring Prospero Colonna.

Tell him I will restore his lands.

I need his army.

The Orsinians will cut my heart out.

Once it's known, the Pope is dead.

All of our family.

Where's our mother?

And can it be true?

Oh, yes, Master Thelma.

He is in God's hands now.

Well, we must pray for it.

I have taken everything.

Nothing has been done according to the
proper forms.

I could not find a single member of a
sacred college within the Vatican.

Well, I must do what I can.

Cardinal Carmelengo should have been
here to verify his passing.

And there is the bell.

I must instruct them to ring La
Paterina.

Then Rome will know that the Pope is
dead.

It will be the signal for insurrection,
murder, pillage.

It is the custom.

La Paterina is always wrong.

So, if it is not wrong, then he will not
be dead.

What a pity God does not observe your
rules, Master of Ceremonies.

It's not carnival.

It was La Paterina.

The Pope is dead!

The port -a -bastard is dead!

And I shall be freed!

Open the door! Open!

You hear it?

Now we have revenge.

Even the ghosts will rise.

Not one to shed a tear.

Little Lucrezia, yes.

And Chatterley.

Mother.

Write to Lucrezia.

They shall be cared for.

Giovanna.

You're a borgia.

Rodrigo, you fear no man.

You understand?

Yes, my lord.

Say farewell to your tutelage.

The lady Venazza is in charge of you
now.

You are noble boys.

Remember what I have taught you.

My son, you're eminent.

How is it in the streets? Some
swaggering and shouting.

There will be worse.

What have you heard?

Oh, come, eminence. We passed the party
of Ottini Galants, armed and crying

death to the Borgia.

The cardinals have met.

We are called to the Palazzo Venezia in
the morning.

They dare not come to the Vatican while
you are here.

I shall stay here until they have
promised what I seek.

I have 200 lances outside the walls of
the city.

With my supporters in the conclave, I
shall make you pope.

How many could be sworn to that?

You have eight votes, my lord.

No more?

Perhaps eleven.

That's almost a third.

There's only time.

I must be paid, my lord.

I'm not in fever.

Tell them to send the Greek girl to me.

Send Varsia to me.

Trust me, Juan Verre, I shall make you
pope.

You must secure the body.

Help me!

Your Eminences!

Your Eminences!

In the absence of Cardinal Riario from
Rome, You have elected me to the high

office of Cardinal Camalengo. To speak
further to the Borgia Duke. You must

persuade the Duke to leave the city.

The Vatican is in the hands of armed
men. We are all in danger. It may be we

should be forced to call upon the arms
of France.

Those of his Spanish majesty are near
us, don't worry.

Of course, we understand your
preference.

If you bring in your Spanish troops,
Cardinal Carappa, there will be clashes

with the Orsinians. And if the armies of
France... Your Eminence... Monseigneur,

you see the peril in which we stand?

All forces must be withdrawn without
delay.

Then, and only then, can we elect a
pope. Your eminences request me to

an urgent meeting with the duke.

Cardinal Piccolamini?

Oh, yes.

Yes. Very well. And we must arrange,
too, for the destruction of the papal

seance. Cardinal Pacinola. Yes.

Is this it?

Oh, dear, this holiness.

Oh, you should have called us sooner,
Master.

God have mercy.

What did he die of? Poison.

I've seen too many of them. Still, we'll
nail him down like all the rest. With

respect and proper... Forgive me.

He's got no stomach for it.

He's terrible.

Look at him, Stefano.

That's holy water.

Holy wind and holy water.

Stick a pin in that and you baptize the
whole of Rome.

Come on, Pietro, Bernardo.

There's good money in it. It must be
battened down.

Not with your hands.

How else?

Use your feet.

Now, all together.

Hail Mary, full of grace. Hold your nose
and shut your face.

Hey.

They say he blessed a hundred virgins
every night.

Cover him up so we don't have to look at
him.

Pietro, Bernardo, hold tight to your
corners.

Ready? Together.

Closer, Dave.

Oh, snook down, your holiness.

Hey.

Think of those hundred virgins.

Up, down, up, down.

He must get it.

Cassini!

By what authority do you close this
bridge?

By the authority of my lord the duke.

Your men are armed.

They may not approach Castel Sant
'Angelo.

My compliments to you, Michelotto.

Who shall prevent us?

Not I.

Prospero Colonna and all his men are on
the baton.

Cannon the prime.

I have only to give the signal.

I hope my lord... There will be no blood
between us. Prospero Colonna? And all

his army.

They came by night.

Well, there are other bridges.

We'll avoid the Vatican like the plague
inside.

Farewell, Michelotto.

They say close contact breeds infection.

Hey!

Be warned!

The devil's calling for you as well!

Prospero Colonna does come.

Then you will have a reason to be vexed.

What do you say?

Prospero!

You're in the service of King Ferdinand
of Spain?

Tell me what he's told you!

There's the girl.

That's my mistress. She speaks a little
Italian. She's Greek.

I need your army, Prospero.

Tell me what you want.

I remember Capua.

Capua? When you took the town, I
commanded its defense.

Your soldiers were savages.

I saw girls after who had torches thrust
between their legs. Not on my order.

And the thick divergence you took with
you to Rome? I'm a monster, yes. I

believe so.

Ferdinand is a fool to trust you. You
believe too much.

See, my strength is coming back.

Hear the proof?

Her lips could give you promises of love
if you believed her.

Only the cry of pain is true.

Believe tears, but never smiles.

What does it matter how much you hate
me?

I need you, Prospero, in the name of
torment.

Tell me what your master wants.

How many votes can you command in the
election?

Eleven.

Enough to elect a Spanish pope.

Whom does he choose? Carafa?

You can secure it.

If more are needed, they can be bought.

And for surety?

My person.

I have three days to bargain with the
Cardinals.

They want me to withdraw from Rome.

If they agree to my demands, I'll meet
you outside the walls of the city.

We'll learn together that Carafa is
Pope.

It's a rebuttal, hostage.

The Ossinians are approaching with 1
,500 men. I need your army in Rome

and your love not at all. Now, what do
you say?

It is agreed.

Come, Prince.

There is one more condition.

The Princess Sanchia of Aragon is
confined in Sant 'Angelo. The king

her release.

Cesare?

You see?

Her husband's anxious for her safety,
too.

How strong is love?

Sanchia, I have brought Prospero
Colonna.

He wants to speak to you.

Princess.

But you are a proper man.

It's almost a year since I saw anyone
except the guards and him.

Have you brought my release?

News of it.

It will follow on the election of a
Spanish pope.

Cesare Borgia will be released from his
bond to me, and you will have your

freedom. And to be exchanged for Cesare?

In effect.

How curious.

And then you'll kill him.

That would give me pleasure.

It may be difficult.

Princess. How smooth your skin is.

I'd almost forgotten how smooth a man's
skin could be.

Prospero.

I'm glad it's you who's brought my
release.

It doesn't matter about my husband.

He's often by me.

And you smell so sweetly.

They bring me acid milk to wash myself
in. even in prison.

I'm as clean and white as any lady in
the state of Naples.

Even here.

Even now.

Prospero, Colonna.

You shall have me for Cesare Borgia.

Eminences, the Duke is here in response
to your request for this meeting.

As you see, he is still weak from fever.

This audience must be brief.

His Excellency will do what he can. My
Lord Duke, in view of what the Prince

said, I will dispense with courtesy.

We are anxious to elect a Pope. For
this... All armed factions must leave

city, which means, my Lord Duke, that
you and your supporters must withdraw as

well. Eminent.

I am anxious to meet your requests.

Though I am ill, I am willing to make
this journey if you pledge my safety.

There are two further conditions to my
departure.

I ask that you give your confirmation to
my appointment of Captain General of

the Holy Church and that you give your
support to me as Lord of the Romani.

I see no objection to these arrangements
pending the election of the new Pope.

Cardinal Curata, I am grateful to you
for your support.

Indeed, Your Excellency.

Cardinal Vera, there are some details.

More than details.

Cardinal Chamberlain, is the Duke aware
that an army of 2 ,000 Spaniards entered

the city overnight? It is an invasion.

This may not alarm Cardinal Carafa, but
it will alarm King Louis of France, and

I must... Pardon the noise.

My Lord Duke.

Prospero Colonna will respect my wishes.

His army leaves at my command.

Come to me, it's secret.

I pledge my faith to you.

I've always been a friend of France.

My lord, I do remember it.

The terms of this agreement must be set
down.

I hope to be satisfied.

I think you will.

Then we are in accord.

Dear God, the love of God has brought
our hearts together.

Who is that, Ambassador?

That? Pick a long name.

An Italian?

Yes. I don't think he needs to be
considered.

I believe, my Lord Duke, the election
must go either to France or Spain.

There are some, at first, who thought
you'd favor your old friend, Cardinal

Vera. He likes the port.

He's no use to me.

Then all we have to consider is of whom
you must most beware.

Rovery.

Giuliano della Rovery.

Who is with Louis in Milan?

He will return to Rome as soon as you
are gone.

Rovery is your greatest threat, your
greatest enemy.

And the reason that I've held back from
France since the Pope's death. This is

exactly what I believed, I told our
ambassador.

I do assure you, my lord, that...

King Louis is as hostile to robbery as
you are yourself.

Naturally, I am the candidate His
Majesty most favors in this election, or

French party will give their vote to me.

And the Italians?

Will divide amongst themselves.

It is your ten or eleven votes which
hold the balance between France and

You will decide.

So, D 'Ambrose.

What do you offer?

What do you seek?

Protection.

For myself and my family, with all our
possessions, all our lands.

The support of France to regain those
lands I've lost and retain those ones I

hold.

Why can't King Louis offer so much?

Can I trust him?

What in life is certain?

Is there a better course, my lord?

He is the devil I know.

Only one thing is certain.

I must leave Rome.

You understand the plan?

I shan't leave the Vatican myself until
the very last moment. Then the First

Procolonial will be waiting at the Port
of the Book.

I've arranged to meet him at the hour of
vespers. But he'll wait in vain.

By which time you'll be many miles on
the road to Nepi.

And I'll have joined the Fred.

Take care.

Farewell, Master.

I'm easy to leave if you can.

Rome is my city.

We shall return.

And soon.

Giovanni.

Rodrigo.

Guard our mother well.

We go our separate ways.

I'll join you by tomorrow night.

But save each other.

I've brought the servant from the
Palazzo Rovary to speak with you.

He's to be trusted.

Until the Cardinal's exile, this man was
his body servant.

I have much information from him.

I've always found him true.

What's your name?

Giorgio, my lord.

You saw the Cardinal de la Rovary?

I have not seen my master in nine years.

Sometimes your excellency, the money
comes. Sometimes it is not paid.

They say our master will soon return,
but while I wait, my lord... This is a

pearl of great price, Giorgio.

You may have it now, and one to match
it, if on your return you have done what

require.

You're afraid to kill, even your master.

The deed will leave no trace.

How can it be done?

Break this.

You spill the powder in his cup when
some enemy is by him.

The effect is slow but certain.

Trust me, my lord.

God bless your excellency.

My farewell benediction, but from no
holy father.

What do you say?

He's an honest scoundrel.

My artillery is on the road as it were
for Tivoli.

They have already crossed the Tiber.

More than an hour ago.

Then I'm done.

Three hours.

Please help me pass this way.

Yes, my lord. An hour since.

I fear the Duke will play us false.

Friendship promised much.

But we will wait.

They were to meet us here at the port of
Iridaria.

I think they have come already, my lord.

The advance guards should have doubled
back to meet them.

You leave the leg.

Greetings, my lord duke.

In the name of his majesty, King Louis.

Strong enough to ride.

Do not choose.

Your Excellency is under the protection
of France.

My troops will escort you to your
castle.

Admit it.

It was agreed.

Would you make water with pretty
speeches?

Prospero Colonna will be in the city.

Cesare Borgia.

May his rotten soul roast in the hottest
fires of hell. But where is he now? I

don't know where he is. He's betrayed
us.

Three hours we waited at the port of El
Homolo.

And the Pope? Who has been told? There
is no Pope, no election. I have released

you on my own authority.

Cesare Borgia has vanished like the
demon that he is.

Rome is well rid of him.

Isabella, you know all my jewels are
hidden under the straw.

Prospero, if you had ever been in
prison, you would know that nothing

except to be free.

You have come for me and that is all.

Suppose he hasn't gone.

Suppose he followed you here. He's gone,
I promise you, and the rat's with him.

Yes, he's gone.

And Rome is free again.

I shall go with you to Naples and be
your mistress.

Here are the jewels, my lady.

You shall see me naked in my chaplet of
pearls.

Who cares who's pope?

Nine books.

Yes.

Yes.

A Reverend Montignor requests an
audience, Your Eminence.

That is hardly surprising.

He will make the 14th such call as
inside Eternal Rome. Who is it this

Cardinal Schwarzer, Eminence. Ah, he's
gone. He must have come back, has he? I

hope he must. I'll see him at once.

Is he alone?

Alone, Eminence.

Ascario, my good friend. Giuliano.

Some wine, Giorgio, please.

When did you reach Rome?

Yesterday evening.

You've been here three days, I believe.
Yes, but it seems a moment after nine

years I find I have so many friends. You
as well.

Were you made welcome? Oh, yes. The
reception was quite astonishing.

As soon as the news went out, the
streets were filled with people

Sforza, Sforza. It was all quite
deafening.

Very moving. Indeed.

Well, people are so happy to see the
Porsche's gone, it's hard to judge them

all. Indeed. Peace. Sit down. Thank you.
You have some instructions from the

king concerning the election? Yes. Yes,
I have. Thank you, Giorgio.

Thank you.

Yes, His Majesty has released me to vote
for D 'Amboise.

And will you?

No.

Neither will I.

I've come back to look to my own
affairs, not to other people's. I knew I

count on you.

Well, that does, of course, depend.

On what?

On who gets the most votes.

First ballot.

First ballot?

I see.

I see.

Yes, I had not realised.

Let us drink to success.

Either for you...

Not for me. Nor do you want to live, old
friend.

The cup's poisoned.

The hand of Cesare Borgia reaches out
even now.

And it may make a pope.

But you?

Or I?

Most eminent lord, the sacred college
hath elected thee to be the successor.

of St. Peter, wilt thou accept
pontificality?

Wilt thou accept pontificality?

Your eminence must answer follow or
nollow.

Follow.

Habemus Papam, Lord Cardinal Francesco
Piccolomini.

Pius. Pius III.

Only your holiness will listen to me.

My dear Louvre, it seems, since Matins,
I have done little else. Yet your

holiness does nothing to explain. You
have sent briefs to the Romanias,

confirming the lordship of Cesare Borgia
and to Venice.

But...

I shall do nothing more.

What I have done for the Duke was under
pressure from the Spanish Cardinal. But

this is the man who tried to kill me.

We know him.

What, a murderer?

And an extortioner?

Surely our love goes out even to
sinners.

It is the duty of a Pope to have
compassion for all.

Your holiness will be mocked.

If God allows it.

Giuliana, I gave some comfort to the
Duke because I knew that by God's

he would come to a bad end.

The French have left him and taken their
army to Naples.

His Spanish troops have gone to defend
themselves against the French.

He is alone at Nepe with his family.

And he is ill.

Cesare ill?

Very ill.

He has asked if he can come back to Rome
to die.

And we have given our permission.

My little God.

Surely we should show mercy towards the
dying man.

I do not see what harm can come.

But this is madness.

He is not dying, he is dying.

You will see what harm.

Cesare Borgia.

In...

Hold on.

They told me you were dying.

My return to Rome has greatly improved
my health.

My family is with me.

I am only a man that's liable to her.

I am concerned for your health as well,
Holy Father.

Mine?

Viva.

The surgeons have done what they can for
us.

I can no longer kneel to God to offer
thanks for my election.

Your election?

I hope I had some part in that.

Oh, yes, and we are mindful of it. But
do not ask for anything I beg.

The support we have given you already
has cost us quite an hour.

Cardinal Rovery believes you tried to
kill him.

On what evidence?

That of a servant.

Under torture?

I'm sorry that your holiness refuses to
listen to my requests.

I came to offer... No, it would
embarrass your holiness.

If you should offer what?

Something towards the expense of your
coronation.

It would seem the treasury is empty.

Of everything but debts.

We found the cupboard bare, everything
gone.

My father had many enemies.

But he was a good friend to my uncle
Pius II.

His vote won that election.

Cesare, we cannot be crowned.

What am I to do?

If it will not offend you,

Borrow from me.

You have enough?

A hundred thousand ducats.

More, if you require.

We must have a coronation, even of the
simplest kind.

The cost is terrible.

We will accept your loan.

Thanks be to God.

And so that I may not embarrass your
holiness further, I shall leave Rome

tomorrow. I must regain the pities that
I've lost.

I require only your safe conduct and
your confirmation of my appointment as

Captain General of the Holy Church.

As Captain General.

To be announced at my coronation.

Ben Hiddick.

And may God...

Deliver us from all our enemies.

We come to seek our solution.

Judge us, my lord, for a deed that must
be done.

This is God's will. Clear these
gentlemen with me.

Why have you come?

We must kill Cesare Borgia. Tonight!

That may indeed be God's work, but I
cannot grant absolution for an action

you merely intend.

How is it to be accomplished?

I have come to Rome with armed men.

Our forces and John Paulus have joined
together. More than a thousand.

And Cesare's alone.

Only a handful of his own supporters
with him. Michelotto and his troops are

marching to the Romagna.

I cannot give you my blessing. You must
search your own souls for sufficient

reason in the eyes of God. The murder of
all my family and of our comrades.

God must surely know that is enough.

This time, see, there is no mistake.

I'm calling for you.

How many?

Thousands.

Browse everyone.

My mother, the children.

Run it down, quick.

Joffrey, take horses from the stables.

Maybe cure the mob around that side.

There's no one here to defend us.

We must break out. We shall.

But you're with me.

There's no one else.

Bye.

Sanctuary. The Holy Father.

Holy

Father.

Holy Father.

Holy Father.

My enemies are at the gate.

The infection spread.

I'll infuse Mandragora to relieve the
pain.

Holy Father!

Yes, my dear son.

I break myself.

And my family under your protection.

We shall take refuge in capital St.
Angelo.

The loan is safe.

If you save us.

My trust is with the Lord.

Whom shall I fear?

I must be certain.

He's in danger.

A little sleep. All will be well.

Fill that mob.

The boys' apartments are empty.

They'll slip away under their feet.

The catacombs of the Basilica.

We are under the Pacifica. I have no
fear of evil spirits.

Even the catacombs are overground.

I'm not afraid.

It's Chichiro.

San Angelo, I'll show you the red cannon
on the battlement.

But hurry!

Chichiro's not afraid of people with
mints.

the French.

Why should I fear a rabble of Orsini
braggarts?

You might have made a soldier.

You had needed me.

They'll soon be gone.

We'll join Michelotto and Gisela.

They've been loyal.

I have the Holy Father in my pocket.

And that's the key to all the rest.

as it was, is now, and ever shall be.

The capital.

We need no bell to rouse the city.

Generally.

La Paterina! No!

You win!

Idiot!

Libere me domine.
