All language subtitles for Leonardo s02e03 The Betrothal Ball

66, Via Trento. Tell him to wait there
until you come to the rescue.

Stop messing about, you two.

No, no. This paper's too thick, Enzo.
You won't get enough layers like this.

Come on, concentrate, all of you. I've
got 20 of the dratted things left to do.

You sleep and I keep watch I lament
alone That

I'll end your life's pain

You sleep peacefully without anguish and
my eyes never

close.

You sleep and I, cruel one, I lament and
weep

and I, alas, I die.

Bellissimo, my piccolo.

Bellissimo. Grazie, mamma.

You will sing for our guests tomorrow at
the March Ball.

Oh, Mama, no.

In front of all those people, I'll make
a complete ball of myself.

Medici's don't make fools of themselves,
Lorenzo.

This year, our Carni Fale Ball is to be
held in your honour.

We have a very special announcement to
make.

What, Mama?

That mio piccolo tortolini is a
surprise.

Una bella sorpresa.

You could invite your friends, Leonardo
and the other two.

Seriously, Papa?

I know it's been a little strained.

It might help things get back to normal.

Grazie, Papa.

Grazie.

Perhaps we should tell him before the
ball?

Prepare him?

And spoil the surprise?

Marriage will mean the end of these
carefree days.

It may come as quite a shock.

Not at all. He'll be delighted. What
young man doesn't dream of his wedding

Hmm.

More to the point, she's from one of the
most powerful families in Pisa.

It's a great match.

And she's so pretty.

Scusi!

I love Carnival. All the music and masks
and dancing.

I like your thingy.

What is it?

Volo organista. You strike a key and it
pushes a string against the moving bird.

Fantastically. Not the way you play it.
Ha ha, same old Mac.

Yeah, same old Mac.

Um, we're having a masked ball, um, for
Carnivali.

And you're all invited.

One for you, one for you, and one for
you.

Um, Mama says they're planning a
surprise for me. I can't think what it

You're actually inviting us? You're my
friends.

What about your father?

He suggested it.

Thanks, but I think I'll go to the party
in the piazza with the rest of the

communists. You too.

Leo, you'll come, won't you?

Don't let me down.

I have to sing.

You could accompany me on your viola
thing. I'd love to.

I would, but I've got to work.

But it's Cannavale. It's a portrait.

Special commission. A very rich Austrian
aristocrat. Baron von Schnitzel.

Tomorrow's the only day he can sit for
us. Back to work.

A lavoro, you lazy lumps.

Breaks long over.

Master Lorenzo. Signor Verrocchio, I
implore you, will you not give Leonardo

tomorrow off so he can attend the Medici
Master Ball? Leonardo isn't working

tomorrow. Oh.

Oh. I must have misunderstood you. Well,
understand this.

Stop tinkling about on that bizarre
instrument and get to work.

And you need more fur and feathers. Go
and fetch them.

And you, buzz off.

I'm sorry if I ban you. I understand.

But please come.

For me.

I'll see you at the palace to practice.

Typical Lorenzo. He thinks that if he
invites us to his fancy ball, we'll act

like nothing's happened. Well, there's
no way I'm going. Me neither. No way.

Santa Maria.

Bella.

Although, on the other hand, if Leo were
to go... He'd need someone to look out

for him.

It's got your name on it.

And if you need to hide that, dream on.

Better get these things for myself.

I'm so glad you can come tomorrow. And
how nice of you to help Lorenzo out with

your funny little... Whatever.

Lorenzo's waiting to practice with you.

Have fun.

Phil!

Guess what?

I've got a matching outfit.

Oh.

Wow.

Fantastic.

It's a complete original, one of a kind,
designed by the Milanese genius

himself, Giorgio Adriano.

Do you think Leo will like it?

I think a thank you will be nice.

Oh, sorry, Mac.

Thanks.

Leo, look at my dress.

I don't think you should come. It's too
dangerous.

Nobody will recognise me.

That's the beauty of it. It's a masked
ball.

I'll be completely safe.

It's the perfect disguise.

And we've been invited. What could
possibly go wrong?

Is everything in place?

Yes, Your Excellency.

Get rid of the guards at the palace
gates.

Give them the day off.

They can go and join the street party in
the piazza with the rest of the town's

rabble.

We don't want them here interfering with
our plans.

No, Excellency.

Hey, there's a juke.

How can you tell?

Something always gives it away.

The eyes.

Subtle gesture.

Body language.

A royal hat?

Well, when you're as smart as I am, it's
a piece of cake.

Leo! I thought you'd never get here.

Tom! Mac!

You came too?

It's a lintel.

Go on, we have to get ready.

We don't have to stay.

We'll go to the piazza instead.

What, and waste all this?

No, I'm going to dance.

Well, if anybody asks me that, isn't it?
I'll dance with you, if you're worried

about being a wallflower.

I'm not.

Then I'll wait for somebody proper to
ask me thanks very much.

Suit yourself.

The only good thing about singing is
that it gets me out of dancing.

Remember, I usually poised a load of
silly girls on me at these things.

Ben, no, Ben! Hello, Angelica.

Lorenzo's going to be so excited when we
announce the wedding.

You'll make the most divine couple,
won't they, husband?

Indeed. I couldn't think.

Great minds, eh?

We've got the same dress.

Yours is a copy, and a cheap one at
that.

May I have the pleasure of this dance?

Swap masks a minute.

I want to see if Mac is as clever as he
thinks he is. See if you can spot it to

me. All right, but don't be long.

Look at that.

It's like she was dancing with anyone
apart from me.

Have you ever been in love, Lorenzo?

It's torture.

Girls are torturers.

It's like, no matter what I do for her,
what I say is, someone's Leo.

Leo, Leo, Leo.

She only has eyes for Leo. What are you
talking about? Who?

Very funny.

I was just messing with you. Letha.

Do you mean Letha?

She doesn't like me. I mean, she likes
me, but she doesn't...

Like? I told you, I was just joking
around.

I knew it was you all along.

Better luck next time, Da Vinci.

I've just had the weirdest conversation
with Mac.

He seems to have got the idea that you
like me. I know that you like me, but

that you like me.

I have no idea who you are, what you are
talking about, and I most

certainly do not like you.

Leo?

That was so embarrassing.

What? There's a girl here wearing the
exact same dress as you. I know.

I asked her if she liked me. Well, not
exactly that. I had this weird

conversation with Mac and I thought he
said that you liked me and I thought she

was you, so I asked her if she did, but
you don't like me, do you?

Of course I don't like you. I mean, I
like you, but I don't like you.

I knew he was talking rubbish.

And then I thought he said that he liked
you.

Mac liked me?

That's ridiculous. Mac and me?

Totally unsuited.

Ridiculo.

You must have got it wrong. Who does Max
interview himself?

Leo, Pieni, we're on. Swap masks.

And

now,

signore e signori, you have the honour
of hearing mio piccolo bambino

sing for you.

I give you Lorenzo de' Medici.

You sleep and I keep watch And in bitter

tones I call on dying pity

You sleep and I keep watch

And in a moment I melt in tears and

weeping You sleep and

I am always in torment.

No one to console me. You sleep and I
keep

watch. I lament alone that I'll end your
life's

pain. You sleep peacefully without
anguish and

my eyes never close.

I lament and weep and die, alas, I die.

My son, my wonderful son, who is fast
becoming a man.

And what better way to mark this passage
into manhood than with a betrothal?

A what?

Signore e signore, may I present my
son's...

future wife, the very lovely Angelica.

Mr.

Moss, dear.

That's Peter, isn't it?

Find him. Find my son!

This way!

I mean, I knew it would happen one day,
but not yet. I'm too young.

Antonio, will you shut up about your
stupid arranged marriage?

We're being kidnapped.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

This is an outrage!

You will be sorry you dared to abduct a
Medici. And I can assure you, you won't

get a single florin.

Big roar from a little lion.

Well, I have already been paid for what
it is that I have to do.

And what's that?

My father will pay you more if you
release us. He'll pay you in gold, more

than you can imagine.

I'll make sure you get away.

They won't catch you. We haven't even
seen your face.

Ha! You have now.

Drove it.

Get in.

Let her go. She isn't even my fiancée.

Just get out!

Up against the wall, where I can see
you.

Crowds and carnival.

What I tell you.

Rich pickings for big pockets.

Not me, please.

I'm Lorenzo de' Medici.

I've been the victim of a scandalous
attempt on my life.

Lorenzo de' Medici? Is that so?

So if you would be so kind as to escort
me back to the Medici Palace, my father

will gladly pay you a handsome reward.

Sounds very tempting.

I tell you what, I think we'd get a lot
more money from your dear papa if we

ransomed you.

Long Sunshine, you're coming with us.
You can't be serious. This is

Where's Lorenzo?

He's been kidnapped.

I know he's been kidnapped. You were
paid to kidnap him.

Someone else has got him.

Where did they take him?

Go find him!

It wasn't my fault. Save your breath,
Your Excellency. You're going to need

Move.

Move!

Now, if you don't want to get hurt,
such, I just look like you're having a

time.

I think.

And I keep watching in the storm and the
wind. On your marble doorstep

you sleep and I keep watching.

Stop!

Somebody else has got your end in. I've
lost them. I don't know which way they

went. Shh!

What was that?

This way.

If anything's happened to him, I will
never forgive myself.

Who could have done such a terrible
thing?

Committed such a heinous crime?

Don't worry, dear wife.

Placidi will find him. I know he will.

Have you got him? Have you found my
baby?

What? He's in here.

Where

is

he?

He escaped.

Two men took him.

You're lying.

I swear it. I did exactly what you told
me to do. A boy?

and a slip of a girl, and they escaped.

If you've double -crossed me... I
haven't. I swear I haven't. If one hair,

one single hair on my son's head is
harmed, I will make

you pay.

I keep watch and in bitter tones... He
calls on... I know, Brigitte.

Are you threatening me with a vegetable?

They can be very dangerous in the wrong
hands. What, like a bad cook, you mean?

Yeah, that sort of thing.

And are you for it?

We didn't mean anything by it.

It was just a little joke.

Cowards!

Filthy cowards.

Shall we go after him?

Just get me back to the palace, please.

Yeah.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Lucky for you.

Now, you say exactly what we have
agreed.

If you think you can manage it.

Are you hurt?

Leo found me. He saved me.

Grazie.

Grazie.

That's the man.

Him. He was going to kill us.

Talk.

Talk before I run you through.

Who hired you?

The Duke of Milan.

You lie.

Why would the Duke of Milan commit such
an outrage?

Provoke us in this way?

To stop the wedding.

And to prevent an alliance between
Florence and Peter.

He fears our two cities together would
be too powerful.

We'd join forces against him. Against
Milan?

I'll kill him.

I'll go to Milan and I'll kill him
myself.

No, cousin.

True, he has provoked us with his
terrible crime, but nobody wants a war.

I will travel to Milan.

Talk with the Duke.

Assure him that Florence wants peace.

That this alliance changes nothing.

Very well.

But as for you, you shall never see the
light of day again.

We'll take him to the magistrate.

And now, of course, you allow me to
escape as agreed, right?

Of course.

Plans go awry.

It's not your fault.

It's a deal to deal.

So? Now we let you escape.

Go on, then.

What are you waiting for?

I need to stop wearing dresses.

He's been in trouble every time.

Far safer as a boy.

Chocolato?

Grazie.

Cheers.

The look on Piero's face when he saw
Lorenzo was safe.

Poor Lorenzo.

I don't know what was more of a shock,
the kidnap or the wedding announcement.

She wasn't very friendly, was she?

Snooty, rude, arrogant.

Those are our good points.

I'd better get going.

Yeah, you know what you're asking at the
ball?

Er, no. What?

I need to change.

Night, Leo.

Night, Tom.
