A horse.

A horse to get me to Florence.

They'll pay well for the fastest one.

I've got every officer in Florence after me, and it's because of you.

Don't play the innocent with me. I know you snitched on me.

You're going to pay for this with your life.

Come back here, Max.

Back to your belly. You're not going to get very far.

where to run, eh?

Help!

He's trying to kill me!

That's the officer. He's a wanted man. Gorgoni, the smuggler. I'm going to get

you. I'm going to get you.

I'm going to tear your lip from there. Dream on, fat boy. The only thing you'll

be tearing is stale bread in prison.

Today is the day, Precidi.

All that we've worked for.

Now nothing can stand in our way.

For today is the day.

I will be crowned Duke.

Oh, fantastico!

Maestro, my dad's getting married.

Francesca and I have finally decided on a date.

17th. Congratulations, senor.

Does she know about me? Have you told her yet?

Not yet, but I will.

I'll tell her today, and then you can come to the wedding.

I cannot wait to meet her.

In the meantime, how do you feel about designing our invitations?

I'd love to.

Right, where's my sketchbook?

Ah!

Lorenzo, Angelica.

Good news.

Good news? You mean great news, my beloved.

For today is a momentous day for the Medicis.

Your father is to be made Duke of Florence.

My father?

Imagine that. The Duke of Florence.

And I will be the Duchess.

And if we go to war? Which we will.

I'll fight by your side.

Beccaro Tortolini, you will not be fighting.

Your job is to look after your pretty little fiancé, isn't it, dear?

Ah, the buds of young love, so tender, so precious.

They must be fed and watered.

Indeed.

I'll stay cool, of course. Kept him pinned down.

Of course.

Right, Elfie?

I just happened to mention his criminal activities to the police.

Oh, so you snitched?

He's a rat.

Pretends to be in the silk trade, but he's really a smuggler.

I was just doing my duty as a law -abiding citizen.

If that slug won't bother me again, the map is back.

Lovely weather we're having, my little chipmunk.

Hmm.

Very blue sky.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, it's hot.

Very sticky.

Grazie. Mi scusi, momento.

Oh, thanks, Max.

Having fun? She's so dim.

She doesn't even like fencing. Talk about duck art.

Yeah, she doesn't look like a bundle of laughs.

Beautiful, no?

Can't see it myself.

Girls are frightful. You just have to know how to handle them.

Right, well, OK, if you're so good with girls, you can take off my hands. Er, no

thanks, mate, she's all yours.

I'll pay you. No, that's a whole different kettle of pesci. How much?

Five florins? Fifteen.

Fourteen. Seven. Thirteen. Eight. Twelve. Nine. Eleven. Ten. Ten.

Right. Bring them back to the pallet gate.

Three prompt.

Don't delay.

Va bene, Benito.

Here's with me.

Benito's Angelica's security.

This is my cousin.

Count Gianluca de Medina de Batista de Lampedusa at your service, Bella

Signorina. I've asked him to be your escort today. It's just that with Papa

being made Duke... Whatever.

So, what's it to be, Bella Signorina?

A stroll or an ice cream?

On me, naturally.

Capellos.

Capellos? Finest, most expensive restaurant in all of Florence.

Good.

Here, it's too flat.

Here.

Meet our latest life partner, Dino.

Where did you get him?

From a seamstress up the road. I said we'd look after him.

Oh, he bought him.

And just let my little brother... He's going to pose for Cupid.

The baby angel whose magic dart makes people fall in love.

Pose? Mad?

Painting a real baby is impossible. They keep moving.

It'll be fine. That is because it goes.

Why don't you copy one of mine?

It helps to be perfect.

Oh, no, sorry, I'm indifferent.

I want the invitations to be special. It's my dad's wedding.

When he shows them to Francesca, I want him to be proud of me.

May I say, Bella Signorina, what a lucky boy Lorenzo is to have a fiancée so

beautiful.

So elegant.

So graceful.

So refined.

So cheerful, too. Such a charming smile. Such a sunny disposition.

And you two were lucky.

Lorenzo is a fine, fine fellow.

A little immature.

A little naive, possibly.

Whereas I am more a man of the world.

Ciao, Mac.

It would seem so.

I thought even the beggars know you. I give a lot of money to charity.

Then by all means, give him some.

I would, but I have nothing smaller than a float.

He wouldn't know what to do with one.

You're so right.

Give him two.

One,

two, three.

Thank God for mom and dad.

but we can't give up. It's for my dad's wedding.

It has to be right.

Maybe he just wants more to play with.

I think I'll have the full 14 quarts menu.

Don't you think that might be a teensy bit much for the stomach of such a

delicate signorina?

Oh, were you expecting me to have the appetite of a bird?

No, I just wasn't expecting the appetite of a giant troll.

I'll take that as a compliment.

What about you?

I'm not hungry.

Not at these prices.

The salad, the spaghetti, the crab, the lobster, the oysters, the pheasant, the

peacock, the baked turtle dove, the pigeon pie, and the liver wrapped in

membrane.

Count Jean -Luc -Adimodine -Baptiste de Lampadusa.

We'll just have some water.

Okay. Okay, that should do it.

Dino?

Let the carnival begin.

Stop meddling please.

How's your water?

Watery. Well, I would offer you some, but seeing as you're not hungry...

Clear this way and bring Count Lampedusa the bill.

OK, I get it.

Get what?

You know, don't you?

Know what?

That I'm not really Lorenzo's cousin.

Or account. Or account.

Lorenzo paid you, didn't he?

I'm not as stupid as Lorenzo thinks I am.

Oh.

Quite the opposite.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Don't worry about it.

I'm used to it.

Being passed around like a parcel from person to person. As long as I just...

Smile and nod and embroider nicely in the corner and curtsy prettily and eat

dainty. I didn't see much evidence of that.

Everybody's happy.

Now I feel really bad.

It's not your fault.

It's just the way it is.

But just once, I'd like to be free.

Free to laugh and shout and run all over the palace with no shoes on if I feel

like it.

Free to do what I want without being watched and judged all the time.

How much did Lorenzo give you?

Enough.

Just.

You don't have to pay.

I'll charge it to the Medici's. No.

I want to.

Let's get out of here.

How about a stroll and an ice cream?

On me.

Yeah, I'd like that.

I remember you, you know.

From the Medici wall.

Oh, that.

I bet it was a girl.

Was it a girl?

It was a girl.

And the one with the same dress as me?

Makes no doubt.

Lisa, yes.

But I'm over her.

Are you?

Getting there.

What are you saying about being free?

If you could go anywhere, do anything you wanted without being watched, what

would it be?

I'd go to the river, take off my shoes, paddle in the water.

I did it once, as a little girl.

Come on in.

What about Benito? You said you wanted to be free.

I do.

Come on in.

I think we lost them. I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that at all.

I thought you got away with it there, mate. Let go of him. How dare you, you

horrible man.

Shut up, lady.

Do you have any idea who I am? Who, who?

I am Angelica Visconti of Pisa.

Are you now?

Get rid of him.

Let's go for a walk.

So much for Benito.

So much for being free.

I told you not to tell him your name.

No, you didn't. You said... Who is this

horrid man, anyway?

He's a smuggler.

What does he smuggle?

I have a nasty feeling it might be you.

Too heavy.

Shh. Just take what we can.

They're loading up.

Get ready to leave.

What are you doing?

Look, over there on the table.

Push with your feet.

Are you telling me what to do? Yes. Come on.

On three.

One, two.

One, two.

You're pulling, not pushing.

Not. You are. I'm not. We'll only do this together.

I know. That's why I'm pushing.

Smoothly. Come on.

All right, on three. One, two.

One, two.

One, two.

Keep your feet on the ground.

I am. You're not. I am.

One, two.

One, two.

Nice try, lovebird.

So you really thought it was a good idea to palm her off on that? Why, I know,

but you've got to help me. If something happens to her, my dad will kill me.

And it's not just her, it's the Alliance of Pisa.

Without it, we'll lose the war.

And I'll be a traitor.

Where did it happen? I don't know. Max snitched on someone. A silk trader.

He said he was a smuggler.

A gorgoni.

Silk trader?

Let's try the silk district.

Leonardo!

We're in real trouble.

Aren't we?

I'll think of something.

Will you?

Just try and be positive.

You'll be all right.

I'm stuffed whatever happens.

If Gorgoni doesn't get me, then I'm sure Piero will.

Piero? Running off with his son's fiancée.

I'll behead him, probably.

Oh.

Don't worry.

Gorgoni would have slit my throat before then.

We just need to get you back to Lorenzo, somehow.

Safe and sound.

It will be okay.

I don't want to go back.

I don't want to marry Lorenzo.

I hated at the Medici's.

I miss my dad.

I just want to go home.

Lorenzo isn't interested in me. He talks to me like I'm some kind of a weird

animal.

I'd never have chosen him.

But it's not my decision.

It never is.

Don't cry.

I'm sure it'll be alright.

Somehow.

Look, if my arms weren't tired, I'd put them round you.

No, Mac.

Why can't Lorenza be more like you?

What did you say?

Showtime.

This way.

So here's the deal.

I need to get out of this town and you're going to help me. No one's going

stop a lady like you. The guards are just going to wave you through.

And I'm your uncle.

Do anything to make the guards suspicious.

And your boyfriend... Got it?

Good.

Let's go.

It's empty.

Course two.

The coronation starts at four. We should go.

What if we don't find them? No, we will.

Everything's gone.

So where's he off to?

Travelling. With my household.

My uncle.

Tom!

Tom.

There they are. What are we waiting for? They're hostages.

He's using them to get through the gate.

Look at how Mac's standing. I think he's got a gun to his back.

What do we do?

He's taking too long. They're getting through. Hold it there.

What? Exactly there.

Ciao!

Angelica, ciao!

You weren't going to leave without saying goodbye, were you? And Mac, ciao!

Oh, Mac!

Your full name, please.

I... My name is... My name is Angelica.

I can't... I can't... I don't... Fire! No!

I'm all right.

You?

It's late. You should get back to the palace. Your father -in -law. Oh, yes.

The beheading.

I mean, the coronation.

Yes, of course.

I'll escort you.

Better not.

Will I see you again?

They're about to start. Where's Angelica?

That's the thing about that, about Angelica. What about Angelica? Where is

I know.

The thing is, what actually happened was... I can't exactly speak what

but the long and the short of it is, I don't know.

I don't know where she is. Oh, for God's sake, there you are.

What is the meaning of this?

I'm sorry.

Look at the state of you.

I'll go tidy up.

It's inside the barricade.

Leonardo?

Cupid.

Appropriate.

Eccellente.

So, one last thing to do with an invitation?

That's to give it.

So, signore, I would be delighted if you'd be able to attend.

Represent the workshop.

today, but it's complicated.

You know what women are like.

Better that you meet her after the wedding, when things have calmed down a

You understand, don't you?

I...

Piero de' Medici, on behalf of the city of Florence and all its people,

we swear to serve and protect... Stop!

Behold!

It is I, Rocco, son of the Duke of Florence, here to avenge the death of my

father and claim my crown.
