Thank you.

Machiavelli!

All right, keep your wig on.

Machiavelli!

What?

My name is Salvatore Lenduzzi, and I have something to show you.

It is what I think it is. It depends what you think it is.

The lost dragon of Mesopotamia.

Not lost, because I know where it is.

Where? All right, I don't know exactly where it is. My brother went to look and

now he's disappeared.

They say the dragon's cursed.

Yes, I've read something about that. So what do you want from me?

Help to find the treasure.

And my brother, of course, I'll pay you well.

Why me?

I told people I needed help and they all said, Niccolo Machiavelli, he's your

man.

The dragon's location is hidden by a series of clues.

My brother left this behind.

I've been trying to solve it for days.

Let me see it.

Can you decode it?

Yeah, sure, sure. So let me get a second opinion.

It's a basic substitution by far. Yeah, that's what I thought. You'd better

stand for another. You just need a key, a word.

What kind of word? Maybe something to do with dragons or monsters. The dragon's

name is Humbaba. Humbaba, of course it is. No one knows that.

H -U -M -B -A -B -A.

B -A -B -A.

Okay.

The Duke has been injured.

Not dead.

They're bringing him here. Scarpa only wounded him. Is it fatal?

Oh, my poor dear cousin.

Never fear.

You will survive this terrible outrage.

You will have the best care possible.

Quickly, fetch the doctor.

Graham, I stand in the piazza three hours before noon. I point away.

Looked like I went to the wrong introvert.

What's that supposed to mean?

You've done nothing.

Leonardo's the person I need. Look, you've made an agreement with Mac, and

brother might be dead.

What? My brother? He solved the clue without me and went to find a dragon on

own, and I fear the curse has taken him. Oh, so now you're suddenly worried

about your brother?

You that doesn't care about him. All he cared about is the money. Please, you

have to help me find him. And his local brother of yours?

What's his name, anyway?

Adriano. What's the problem, Mac?

Are you jealous? Leo, please, just ignore him. I'm not jealous. Sorry.

Kind of unsympathetic.

Look, you may be cleverer than me, but there's some things you don't see. Oh,

what, and you do? Yeah, yeah, I do. Like what?

There's something odd about this brother story. I'm not even convinced he has a

brother. Who's this man?

He's suspicious of everyone.

And you are naive.

There's something not right with him. If he had any sense, he'd listen to me.

Andy, I'm off.

Fine. But don't expect me to come with you.

I'm sure we'll manage without you.

Fine.

You know, you remind me of my brother. He's a genius, too. So busy inventing

things, he forgets to eat.

Hey.

Lorenzo?

Lorenzo de Medici? Shh, keep your voices down. I'm trying to hide from the

guards. Who's he, me?

Oh, this is Salvatore. No one important, Master Lorenzo. His brother's missing.

We're trying to find him. Oh, it sounds fun. I might tag along.

Surely a Medici has greater demands on his time.

No. I'm supposed to be composing romantic poetry for my fiancée.

hence hiding from the guards. But you're Lorenzo de' Medici.

Lorenzo de' Medici!

What's he up to?

Master Medici!

We don't need anyone slowing us down.

Look, that must be the next clue.

He's pointing that way. Let's go.

Leonardo? The clue said three hours to noon, I point away.

That's in two hours' time.

You're the genius, but I really don't think he's going to move. Maybe not.

That will.

As the sun moves in the sky, the shadow will point somewhere new.

So we've got to wait another two hours? We haven't got time. Partly there's

both. The long one.

Okay. In the two hours' time, the sun will be approximately there,

meaning the shadow will point...

There. Hello. Master Lorenzo.

Can you come with me, please?

That's not fair. Two against one. It's hardly sporting behaviour.

We have an emergency situation.

Master Lorenzo.

The Duke has been wounded by the Milanese arrow.

You're a prime target for murder or kidnap.

Well, in that case, I'd better come back to the palace with you after all.

Someone else has done

this recently.

Adriano? I told you, you're exactly like him.

It's some sort of pattern.

It's the street map of Florence.

And that is where we're going next.

Excuse me, maestro. Where's Leonardo?

How should I know?

I thought perhaps you'd sent him on an errand.

I've given up sending that boy on errands. He tends to get distracted.

Have you seen Leo? Yes.

While you were sleeping, he went on a quest to find a cursed silver dragon in

Mesopotamia. No, really, where is he? Really?

I need to stop getting up earlier.

I don't trust the guy he went off with.

So you just let him go?

No. I tried to stop him, but you know what Leo's like.

I think I know where Leonardo is. May I go and fetch him?

Please do.

And tell him he's in very deep trouble.

I really hope that's not true.

Are you sure this is right?

This is the place.

There's something here. Something in the ground.

Fantastico. Here.

No, too easy.

What? The dragon's not going to be buried here.

Any fool could find it.

A map with no destination.

Hold that.

This used to be a fountain.

Look at the design. 300, 400 years old?

That is our next

stop.

That's the city tower.

That's right.

And the ammo.

See, there are street smarts. Which we've got. In abundance.

And then there's Leo smarts. Which we haven't got at all.

Don't underestimate yourself.

I mean, I know he thinks we haven't with his I'm -the -only -one -who -can

-solve -puzzles attitude, but I know exactly where he went. How?

You see that statue?

It's the next clue.

I stand in the piazza and point it away.

And it's pointing at the palette.

See? This isn't so difficult.

We need Leo.

Maybe the clue is inside the tower. No, inside is too easy, right?

No X.

No nothing. What do we do?

Are you sure? No, it's here.

Whatever it is, it's here. We're just not seeing it.

Whoever set the trail is testing us to see how far we'll go. You're the genius,

but any farther than that looks like a bad idea. It's testing us to see how

badly we want this.

Hold my legs.

What? Got it! What is it? Can you see the dragon?

Porca miseria! Attenzione!

Scusi!

320.

The lease is too far. It must be steps.

Flying sun.

That's outside the city gates. What?

It's a riddle.

320 steps to where the bird flies, 180 to the sun's rise. You got it?

South and east.

Birds fly south in the winter, the sun rises in the east.

It's another set of directions.

How clever.

And that's where we'll find the dragon.

Adriano will be there.

We will save him.

Yes.

Poor brother.

What exactly are we looking for?

Try to think like Leo.

What would he do in this situation?

I have literally no idea.

Well, that could be a problem.

Lorenzo, over here.

Send somebody away. What are you doing?

You've not seen a... Dragonbite insurance?

About this high?

Silver? Get out of here.

The guards will kill you. Relax.

We've snuck into the palace several times. We've never been caught.

Hardly ever. Hardly ever? Have you heard the news?

The Duke has been shot.

If the guards see you, they'll take you for assassins and kill you.

Lorenzo!

Thank you.

Are you sure this is it? There's got to be.

So, basically, we need to go down. Down there into that deep, dark, bottomless

pit of nothing.

Well, yes, if you want to find your brother.

Doesn't need both of us to go down there. Perhaps one of us should stay up

Yeah, maybe. You're right.

Then one of us can get help if something goes wrong.

I should go.

He's my brother.

Okay?

Although, once again, thinking about it, there could be anything down there. I

mean, a clue, for instance.

What if there was another clue down there? I won't be able to solve it.

You're right. I'd better go down.

Sook -hee!

Lena!

Well, let's hope you're not cursed.

Otherwise, I am in big trouble.

How did you find me?

What? How did you find me? I followed the clues. That's impossible.

You did it.

Well, I'm a genius.

Oh, right.

Who better genius could succeed in finding the silver dragon of

Yes, but then again, you have found yourself stuck at the bottom of a big

A miscalculation. Or perhaps if you hadn't left your brother behind, he

have helped.

You're in league with him.

He sent you here to steal my dragon. No.

What have you done with her? He sent it up with Salvatore.

He will explain everything once he's pulled us out.

And when will that be?

Exactly.

He sent you here to steal the dragon, not rescue me.

No, you're wrong.

He will let us out.

Here's the rope now.

Joe!

Salvatore!

Arrivederci. Salvatore!

Salvatore!

Perhaps there's another way out. We should look.

Oh, that's a good idea.

I wonder why I didn't think of that. During the week, I've been trapped here.

Okay, there's no way out. But I have a friend. He knows that I went up to

Salvatore. He'll come.

He will find us.

I'm never going to find him. I give up. He's hopeless.

Wherever Leo's got to, he's on his own.

Did you actually tell him where you were going?

Not exactly, no.

No, no, I didn't.

I said I didn't need him.

In fact, I think my exact words were, we'll manage without you.

He's going to be all right, isn't he? Of course.

He's Leo.

He's always all right.

He's probably found the dragon and gone off celebrating with... That's him.

Leo? The guy who went off with him.

Why is he on his own?

Salvatore Landucci!

What are you going to do?

Get the truth out of him.

Hey, Salvatore!

Come on.

There you are, my friend. I've been searching for you everywhere.

Where's Leo?

He's... dead.

You're lying.

He tried to contain your grief, Tommaso.

The curse, it's taken my brother and now your friend.

We will never see their like again.

And now the two silver dragons of Mesopotamia are lost forever.

Yes.

Well, one is.

Only one silver dragon of Mesopotamia. There are two.

While you were gone, I ran up on a legend.

The dragon Humbaba had a brother, Chimhoho.

The two were hidden together.

Each alone is valuable, but the pair would make their owner the richest man

earth.

Really?

Not that it matters.

They're both lost, and so is Leonardo.

Oh, it is a tragedy. A tragedy.

You...

Definitely sure there were two.

Yes. Not that it matters. It matters not at all.

Now we must mourn our dead friend.

And I, my brother.

Farewell.

See? You need to follow lots of fancy clues when you can follow one greedy

idiot.

Mac, you're the best liar I've ever met.

Perhaps here.

Gregor?

How is he, Doctor?

He's a lucky man.

The arrow missed his heart by less than an inch.

Is he going to die?

He has a fighting spirit.

If anyone can survive such a thing, he can.

But for now, all we can do is sit with him, talk to him, keep his spirits up.

Yes, Father.

And just don't tire him out.

Grace. Uncle.

It's me, Lorenzo.

I think they've taken the arrow out. That's got to be a relief.

When I had my rotten tooth out, let me keep it in a little jar.

Beetle? They're surprisingly juicy. No thanks.

I might not be so fussy after a few days down here.

I don't eat any animals.

No animals?

I see.

I feel like cobwebs.

There's no way out, you know.

If I can't find one, no one can.

I'm a genius.

You've mentioned that already.

Several times.

Hello?

Anyone here?

Well, where else would we be?

Adriano, you're alive!

Oh, thank the Lord!

You left us here to rot!

No, no. I was merely transporting the dragon to a safe location, and now I've

come back for you two. And the other dragon, of course.

What other dragon?

Now, you're playing games with me. There's no second dragon.

I see what's going on here.

The two geniuses have formed a little alliance against me. This is totally

insane. Well, I'm not leaving without the second dragon.

Okay, Salvatore.

You win.

The second dragon is just over there.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, two of you, see what you're doing!

Okay, you warned me and I didn't listen.

I was stupid. Yep, and arrogant.

You're never going to let me forget this, are you? No.

You're too trusting.

Oh, here we go.

Eviro, when you live on the streets like us... You get to read people and

understand their ticket, whether they're lying or telling the truth.

I wonder what he did with that dragon. Oh, who cares? I think it was cursed.

What? You're not serious, are you? Well, you saw what it did to those two.

That wasn't a curse. I don't know what is.

I know.

Why don't we both climb up together?

Too heavy. The rope would snap.

Why should I trust you?

Why should I trust you?

I'll go first.

No, I'll go first. No, I'll go first. No, I'll go first.

No, I'll go first. No, I'll go first.

My father will find those Milanese attempted murderers and bring them to

justice.

Thank you, Lorenzo.

Now, I need a moment.

with the Duke in private.

Yes, Father.

You should prepare yourself for the worst.

Cousin, can you hear me?

Take some of this.

I was deeply shocked when I heard what had happened to you, cousin.

That you should be wounded by an arrow.

Wounded.

When I gave strict instructions that they should shoot to kill.

Still, there is a certain benefit to their incompetence.

This way I get the satisfaction of finishing the job myself.

Every cloud and all that.

Later today, I will announce your tragic death to the people of Florence.

They will cry out for revenge against Milan and for a strong new leader.

My son, Rocco.

He will be Duke.

You're delirious.

Your son's dead, you silly old duffer.

Lost at sea years ago.

Medicine.

Medicine.

Whatever gave you the idea that this was medicine?

I'm sorry, Lorenzo.

He lost the fight.
