1
00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:57,399
March 1492.
2
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:04,399
The Italian half is threatened
of invasion from France-
3
00:01:04,399 --> 00:01:07,399
-and the Muslim Turks.
4
00:01:10,399 --> 00:01:15,399
Italy itself is divided into ten kingdoms,
who are at war with each other.
5
00:01:19,399 --> 00:01:26,399
In the middle are the Papal States
ruled by Pope Innocent VIII.
6
00:01:27,399 --> 00:01:32,399
The capital Rome is also divided
in warring factions:
7
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:37,400
The Orsini families,
Colonna and Borgia.
8
00:02:32,399 --> 00:02:38,400
This is to call my uncle
Jews and Moors.
9
00:02:39,399 --> 00:02:42,399
This is,
because I want to beat you.
10
00:02:42,399 --> 00:02:45,399
Stop it, Cesare. You kill him.
11
00:02:49,399 --> 00:02:52,399
I never thought you would come.
12
00:03:14,399 --> 00:03:18,399
ROME
13
00:03:50,399 --> 00:03:55,399
Mother? Mother.
14
00:03:57,399 --> 00:04:01,399
Mother. Mother.
15
00:04:01,399 --> 00:04:06,399
Help me, mother. Mom, I'm dying.
16
00:04:07,399 --> 00:04:14,399
No, Lucrezia. You are a woman now.
Come, we'll wash you.
17
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:17,399
Come on.
18
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:21,399
VATICAN CITY, ROME
19
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,399
His Holiness
not accepting today.
20
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:29,399
He meets with the College of Cardinals.
21
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:37,399
Verb incarnatum.
His Holiness Pope Innocent VIII-
22
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:41,399
-opens the meeting with the College of Cardinals.
23
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:49,399
The third day of the month of March
in the Lord's year 1492.
24
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:59,399
The Pope hears from Vice Chancellor Rodrigo,
Cardinal Borgia.
25
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:06,399
I have good news from the king
Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
26
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Their army has driven the Muslims away
from Grenada and has united Spain.
27
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:25,399
For this victory of the Christians pray
I give you Ferdinand and Isabella-
28
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:30,399
-the title of Catholic Majesty.
29
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:40,399
The pope hears the dean of the college
Giuliano, Cardinal della Rovere.
30
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,399
To award the Spaniards
a very special title-
31
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:49,399
-enrages the other monarchs.
32
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:56,399
King Charles of France has defended
the only true faith just as zealous.
33
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:04,399
-Vice Chancellor.
-You asked King Karl for a crusade.
34
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:11,399
It was supposed to defend the coast from
the Muslims, but he shies away.
35
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:18,399
Although France's army is the world's
strongest, then he shies away.
36
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:25,399
Why? Maybe his faith can
not united with his passion.
37
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:39,399
What does the college say? Applause?
38
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:45,399
16. Dissent?
39
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:50,399
Four.
40
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:59,399
Now a wish from Lorenzo de Medici
concerning his son, Giovanni.
41
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:06,399
Man is the highest conscious
V�sen, but we must have an opinion.
42
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:09,400
God commands us to think and create.
43
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:16,399
He commands us to perform selflessly
actions. That's how you save your soul.
44
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:35,399
It is from His Holiness.
It's for you, Giovanni de Medici.
45
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:52,400
I have been appointed a cardinal.
46
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:04,399
- Great, old friend.
-Congratulations.
47
00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:28,399
The French,
German and Turkish invasion threatens us.
48
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:35,399
And yet Italy is divided.
Ten independent countries quarrel.
49
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:41,399
-20 points.
- War between Naples and Milan threatens.
50
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:46,399
The Orsini family has made it worse
with the agreement with Naples.
51
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:52,399
The Colonna family tried the same,
but we asked for more.
52
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:55,399
40 points.
53
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:58,399
- You're cheating.
- Cheating? I?
54
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:03,399
- Orsini dog.
- Colonna whore.
55
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:07,399
stop,
in the name of Almighty God.
56
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,399
This rivalry
exposes Rome to danger.
57
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,399
Killing the city for
to prove the strength of the family?
58
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:22,399
No, the factions must come to an end.
We must work together.
59
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:28,399
Gianbattista and Giovanni.
I want you to make peace.
60
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:33,400
We rule over Rome. We can give
our children prosperity or nothing.
61
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:36,399
Select.
62
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:42,399
When the city is safe,
can you kill each other.
63
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:07,399
Lucrezia. Lucrezia.
64
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:14,399
Lucrezia. Lucrezia.
Didn't you hear me calling?
65
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:19,399
- Yes, mother.
- Why didn't you answer?
66
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:25,399
- I'll never get a man.
- Boys, wait for me downstairs.
67
00:10:25,399 --> 00:10:29,399
father is dead
my brothers fight against muslims-
68
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:35,399
-studying to become a priest or are too young.
Who arranges my marriage?
69
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:39,399
-Your uncle, Cardinal Borgia. -Why
is he waiting
70
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:44,399
-Am I too ugly or too boring?
-No.
71
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,399
He will find the right one for you.
72
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:54,399
I have been married three times.
Be careful what you wish for.
73
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:59,399
Oh, mother. Tell about my father.
74
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:05,399
- I've done that a thousand times. -Was
he handsome? Was he brave?
75
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:10,399
Did you love him so much
that you would die without him?
76
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,399
You read too much romance,
Lucrezia.
77
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:19,399
There is very little real romance
in the world.
78
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:31,399
The weather has been strange.
Hot one moment and then icy cold.
79
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,399
Does this indicate bad times? The death of the Pope?
80
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:42,399
Or war between Naples and Milan.
It ``divides the Italian half''.
81
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:48,399
-And to be able to attack each other...
-...with the armies through the Papal States.
82
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:51,399
The Pope hesitates to intervene.
83
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:55,399
He doesn't know
which one of them is he going to shit on�.
84
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:01,399
Juan, why are you back from?
Spain? I have not summoned you.
85
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:05,399
Pedro Luis is dead.
86
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:13,399
He was the future of our family.
87
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:21,399
Ride immediately to Pisa
and fetch your brother Cesare. Now.
88
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:00,399
Yes.
89
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:06,399
-Is the pain too great?
-You have seven points.
90
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,399
Wine will strengthen you.
91
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:15,399
Juan. Back from Valencia.
What's wrong?
92
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:19,399
Pedro Luis has been murdered.
93
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,399
-By whom?
-I killed all the murderers.
94
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:30,399
- So we don't know who was behind it.
-The Moors wanted to avenge his victory.
95
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:33,399
Come on. We must go to Rome.
96
00:13:57,399 --> 00:14:04,399
God is punishing me for my sins. He
took my daughter and now Pedro Luis.
97
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:11,399
- I loved them as my own children.
-No one should bury a brother or child.
98
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:17,399
I'm afraid of losing more.
I want Lucrezia with me.
99
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:23,399
The death of my firstborn has woken me up.
I have to have the family with me.
100
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:27,399
-Do you want to recognize them as your children?
-No.
101
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:32,399
The Pope has legitimized
his unborn children.
102
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:38,399
The Pope is unimpeachable. I am deadly
and can be slandered and degraded.
103
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:42,399
-And Goffredo?
-He stays here.
104
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:47,399
- You wanted all your children.
- Exactly.
105
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:12,399
I hope you will trust me as
on your own mother.
106
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:27,399
-The room is lovely, cousin Adriana.
- I'll send the servants in.
107
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:30,399
No.
108
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:36,399
I would like to ask for a moment.
109
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:50,400
Mother...
110
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:05,399
Give your faithful servant,
Pedro Luis, eternal rest-
111
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,399
-and let the eternal light shine on him.
112
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:13,400
You have called him away
from this world.
113
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:19,399
Let him join Thy saints.
114
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:24,399
Through our Lord,
Jesus Christ, Your Son-
115
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:29,399
-which is God
and lives and reigns with Thee-
116
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:34,399
- in agreement with the Saint.
117
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:42,399
The righteous man
must always be remembered.
118
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:45,399
He must not fear evil rumours.
119
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:48,399
The righteous man...
120
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:54,399
If he trusts in the Lord,
his heart remains steadfast.
121
00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:59,399
He shall not fear,
when he looks down on his enemies.
122
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:05,399
You are men, and I speak to you as
men about important family issues.
123
00:17:05,399 --> 00:17:10,399
Rome is in danger.
The Pope will not live long.
124
00:17:10,399 --> 00:17:15,399
The Colonna and Orsini families
will both appoint the next pope-
125
00:17:15,399 --> 00:17:20,399
-and will take bridges,
roads and fortifications.
126
00:17:20,399 --> 00:17:26,399
Our fortune and our life
will be in danger if not...
127
00:17:26,399 --> 00:17:31,399
If we don't give them
a common enemy. Am I right?
128
00:17:31,399 --> 00:17:36,399
That enemy is Cardinal della Rovere.
Am I right, uncle?
129
00:17:36,399 --> 00:17:40,400
In my eyes, you are both equally strong.
130
00:17:41,399 --> 00:17:46,399
But only one of you can follow
Pedro Luis as Duke of Gandia.
131
00:17:48,399 --> 00:17:52,399
John,
you must visit Virginio Orsini.
132
00:17:52,399 --> 00:17:57,399
Listen to him.
Sympathize with his complaints.
133
00:17:57,399 --> 00:18:02,400
Make him believe
that the Borgia family takes his side.
134
00:18:03,399 --> 00:18:08,399
And you have to convince
Fabrizio Colonna on the same.
135
00:18:08,399 --> 00:18:12,399
Poison their minds against della Rovere.
136
00:18:14,399 --> 00:18:20,399
You are the sons of the Borgia family.
I trust your abilities completely.
137
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,399
G�. I wish you good luck.
138
00:18:29,399 --> 00:18:35,399
- They are too young for the task.
- I don't manage to educate them.
139
00:18:35,399 --> 00:18:42,399
I need to know who can lead.
Gandia lacks a duke.
140
00:18:42,399 --> 00:18:49,399
Soon someone else will take the province.
Juan or Cesare must become duke-
141
00:18:49,399 --> 00:18:53,399
-and married
Princess Maria Enriquez de Luna.
142
00:18:55,399 --> 00:19:00,399
I have not given up hope
about a Borgia on the throne of Spain.
143
00:19:00,399 --> 00:19:07,399
-Padishah Beyazit is unbearable.
-The Muslims cannot attack Rome now.
144
00:19:07,399 --> 00:19:12,399
The point is,
that Pope Innocent does not live up to the law.
145
00:19:12,399 --> 00:19:15,399
Is that why you're here?
146
00:19:15,399 --> 00:19:21,399
You bribe us so that we will support
your uncle's pursuit of the papacy?
147
00:19:22,399 --> 00:19:27,399
-The Vice-Chancellor is...
-No Spaniard or bastard...
148
00:19:27,399 --> 00:19:31,399
...will ever be Pope again.
149
00:19:47,399 --> 00:19:53,399
- I'll kill him.
-Yes, but not now.
150
00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:01,399
You have failed, Cesare. You have
Submitted the fragile balance...
151
00:20:01,399 --> 00:20:06,399
- I'm sorry.
-Get out of my sight.
152
00:20:15,399 --> 00:20:17,399
Juan.
153
00:20:21,399 --> 00:20:26,400
Since you have secured us
the Orsini family's support
154
00:20:27,399 --> 00:20:33,399
- I ask King Ferdinand to appoint
you to the second Duke of Gandia.
155
00:21:16,399 --> 00:21:23,399
In nomine Patris
et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
156
00:21:24,399 --> 00:21:29,399
I'll take that one
to become Duke of Gandia.
157
00:21:29,399 --> 00:21:36,399
I promise to serve Your Holiness,
King Ferdinand and the Lord-
158
00:21:36,399 --> 00:21:38,399
- as long as I live.
159
00:21:41,399 --> 00:21:45,399
Giuseppe, I can't believe it.
160
00:21:46,399 --> 00:21:50,399
-Why aren't you sleeping?
- I'm too excited.
161
00:21:50,399 --> 00:21:55,399
I would like to listen to them
fascinating conversations.
162
00:21:55,399 --> 00:21:59,399
The cardinals debate
just alum.
163
00:21:59,399 --> 00:22:03,399
It's the color
from the mines at Civitavecchia.
164
00:22:03,399 --> 00:22:09,399
Innocens' greed has met
the market and the price has risen.
165
00:22:09,399 --> 00:22:15,399
-Is the Pope bankrupt?
- He has to pawn his tiara.
166
00:22:15,399 --> 00:22:21,399
The Vice Chancellor has persuaded the Medicis
bank to give the Pope a loan.
167
00:22:21,399 --> 00:22:25,399
In return for
that Giovanni became a cardinal.
168
00:22:25,399 --> 00:22:32,399
Uncle's manipulations benefited you.
You get 20,000 ducats per year.
169
00:22:32,399 --> 00:22:36,399
25,000 bro.
And Rodrigo has even bigger plans.
170
00:22:36,399 --> 00:22:39,399
What?
171
00:22:39,399 --> 00:22:44,399
I have sworn to silence.
But that doesn't worry a cleric.
172
00:22:44,399 --> 00:22:50,399
You are going to Pisa
and focus on your priestly aspirations.
173
00:22:50,399 --> 00:22:54,399
-Poverty, obedience...
- I am not a priest yet.
174
00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:00,400
-You smell like one.
-Lucrezia, where are you?
175
00:23:02,399 --> 00:23:06,399
-Juan, Cesare. Have you seen the child?
-No.
176
00:23:06,399 --> 00:23:10,399
She should be sleeping.
The night air is full of bile.
177
00:23:12,399 --> 00:23:18,399
Adriana is right. Go to bed.
I insist. I follow you.
178
00:23:18,399 --> 00:23:21,399
Juan is going to cuddle me.
179
00:23:30,399 --> 00:23:33,399
So demand is kept stable.
180
00:23:34,399 --> 00:23:38,399
No. If Richard goes towards London,
we need alum.
181
00:23:43,399 --> 00:23:49,399
The Pope raises the tax for courtesans
to 5,000 ducats per right.
182
00:23:49,399 --> 00:23:53,399
Then the courtesans rise
after all, their prices.
183
00:23:55,399 --> 00:24:00,399
I must go deeper into debt
or learn to deal with goats.
184
00:24:00,399 --> 00:24:03,399
Do you look in the book? You can't read.
185
00:24:03,399 --> 00:24:10,399
-I can do more than you think.
-Tricks that the eminence has taught you?
186
00:24:10,399 --> 00:24:15,399
We wouldn't stay here if not
your mother had brought us.
187
00:24:15,399 --> 00:24:20,399
I'll correct that.
We are moving to Bassanello.
188
00:24:20,399 --> 00:24:25,399
Get away from Rome? Never.
Borrow money from your cousins.
189
00:24:25,399 --> 00:24:30,399
- I owe them too much.
-Why was I unlucky?
190
00:24:30,399 --> 00:24:35,399
I married into it
money-poor branch of the Orsini family.
191
00:24:35,399 --> 00:24:42,399
- The Farnese family became poor first.
- Yes, we are always first with everything.
192
00:24:45,399 --> 00:24:51,399
-What's the hurry, Monoculus?
-I want to leave the house.
193
00:24:51,399 --> 00:24:55,399
-How long?
- All summer. We are traveling now.
194
00:24:55,399 --> 00:25:02,399
There are many talented young men
in Viterbo that I can recruit.
195
00:25:03,399 --> 00:25:09,399
-If Naples declares war...
-Cardinal Carafa and I read it.
196
00:25:09,399 --> 00:25:13,399
You should anyway
do your duty to the Pope.
197
00:25:13,399 --> 00:25:18,399
Yes. I wish you good luck.
198
00:25:18,399 --> 00:25:22,399
-Come on, wife.
-No. Giulia stays in Rome.
199
00:25:22,399 --> 00:25:27,399
Unless Adriana
no longer need her.
200
00:25:27,399 --> 00:25:30,399
Mother?
201
00:25:32,399 --> 00:25:38,399
But I do. Giulia is one
enormous help in the large household.
202
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:13,399
- Why are you so good at it?
-It comes with age.
203
00:26:15,399 --> 00:26:19,399
-No. No...
-What kind of noise is that?
204
00:26:19,399 --> 00:26:23,399
-Lucrezia doesn't want to sew.
- It's boring.
205
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:30,399
-Sewing is respectable.
- I don't care.
206
00:26:30,399 --> 00:26:35,399
You want to get married, but you do
all the time unattractive.
207
00:26:36,399 --> 00:26:42,399
-You must learn to sew.
- You are not my mother. Disappear.
208
00:26:45,399 --> 00:26:49,399
Tend and do as you are told.
209
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:52,399
I hate you.
210
00:27:06,399 --> 00:27:10,399
Embassy of Naples
is very late.
211
00:27:10,399 --> 00:27:16,399
-Any news from Cardinal Carafa?
- That's how I would have told it.
212
00:27:16,399 --> 00:27:22,399
I see it and want to cry. For 40 years
since saw Pope Nikolaus decay-
213
00:27:22,399 --> 00:27:28,399
-and wanted to build a new basilica.
He died before he got it.
214
00:27:28,399 --> 00:27:34,399
-If I were Pope...
- No Spaniard will be Pope again.
215
00:27:35,399 --> 00:27:41,399
Sometimes I wish you
wasn't always special, Francesc.
216
00:27:41,399 --> 00:27:48,399
-Cardinal Carafa, what happened?
- We were robbed by street robbers.
217
00:27:48,399 --> 00:27:53,399
- Look at me. They took everything.
-Give them clothes and tend to the wounds.
218
00:27:53,399 --> 00:27:59,399
- The thieves looked Milanese.
-Initiate an investigation.
219
00:27:59,399 --> 00:28:02,399
We are going back to Naples soon.
220
00:28:02,399 --> 00:28:07,399
-But our negotiations...
-...is over until they are punished.
221
00:28:07,399 --> 00:28:12,399
And to Milano apologizes.
222
00:28:14,399 --> 00:28:18,399
Good luck with
to get that excuse.
223
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:32,399
Ferdinand will send
a sailor from Genoa across the sea-
224
00:28:32,399 --> 00:28:36,399
-to find new routes to India.
225
00:28:36,399 --> 00:28:41,399
When the king is rid of the Muslims,
he reintroduces the Inquisition.
226
00:28:42,399 --> 00:28:46,399
-He wants to get rid of the non-Christians.
- In other words, the Jews.
227
00:28:46,399 --> 00:28:51,399
They flee to Rome.
It gets crowded.
228
00:28:51,399 --> 00:28:55,400
See.
The Colonna family has sent clowns.
229
00:28:58,399 --> 00:29:02,399
Uncle wants peace.
We take a different route.
230
00:29:02,399 --> 00:29:05,399
We take a different route.
231
00:29:54,399 --> 00:30:01,399
A Borgia satisfies you,
which a Colonna cannot.
232
00:30:04,399 --> 00:30:10,399
Mom is mad that I'm staying here,
when my husband is in Bassanello.
233
00:30:10,399 --> 00:30:16,399
-Did you say that Adriana needs help?
-Yes, but she cannot be cheated.
234
00:30:16,399 --> 00:30:22,399
I send her gold.
It usually dampens her morale.
235
00:30:22,399 --> 00:30:25,399
She also bothers my brother
about his vices.
236
00:30:25,399 --> 00:30:31,399
He drinks and spends too much
on whores. He's just a Roman.
237
00:30:31,399 --> 00:30:35,399
- He relaxes when he is a priest.
-Like you did?
238
00:30:35,399 --> 00:30:40,399
I've had many women,
but I have only loved two.
239
00:30:40,399 --> 00:30:44,399
- You are a monster.
-You are one of them.
240
00:30:44,399 --> 00:30:49,399
Nobody wants two names on the list,
not with Vannozza.
241
00:30:49,399 --> 00:30:53,399
- It's too hot to argue.
- So I do.
242
00:30:53,399 --> 00:30:59,399
-Tomorrow I go to Bassanello.
-Unless...?
243
00:30:59,399 --> 00:31:03,399
Lucrezia shows me the respect
i deserve
244
00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:41,399
Juan, I'm wet again.
245
00:31:43,399 --> 00:31:47,400
- I have to go.
-Come here.
246
00:32:11,399 --> 00:32:18,399
How dare you commit fornication
with my wife in my own house?
247
00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:37,399
No, let it be.
248
00:33:16,399 --> 00:33:19,399
Come in.
249
00:33:21,399 --> 00:33:28,399
- You're up early, nev�.
- I haven't slept. I'm worried.
250
00:33:28,399 --> 00:33:32,399
You made Juan a duke
and has plans for him.
251
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:38,399
Giovanni de Medici is a cardinal.
What plans do you have for me?
252
00:33:40,399 --> 00:33:47,399
You must return to Pisa
and read on to priest.
253
00:33:47,399 --> 00:33:51,399
I don't want to be a priest.
I lack the soul.
254
00:33:51,399 --> 00:33:56,399
- We have talked about this before.
-Let me study in Rome.
255
00:33:56,399 --> 00:34:01,399
What's wrong with Pisa?
All the best families…
256
00:34:02,399 --> 00:34:05,399
I'm begging you.
I can't go back.
257
00:34:05,399 --> 00:34:11,399
Listen to me, Cesare. You become a priest
and lives an exemplary life.
258
00:34:11,399 --> 00:34:15,399
It is your destiny and my will.
259
00:34:17,399 --> 00:34:21,399
You would like
Pedro Luis was here instead of me.
260
00:34:22,399 --> 00:34:28,399
I may have been too harsh.
I don't want to see Cesare suffer.
261
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:32,399
The impatience of youth.
So were you.
262
00:34:32,399 --> 00:34:38,399
He doesn't call me a hypocrite,
even if I sleep with Giulia.
263
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,399
- I have to satisfy his ambition.
-I have an announcement.
264
00:34:43,399 --> 00:34:47,399
Fabrizio Colonna
has murdered his wife.
265
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:54,399
Regrettable. She was beautiful.
Give him a fine of 800 ducats.
266
00:34:54,399 --> 00:35:00,399
Fabrizio killed Nannia,
because she committed fornication with Juan.
267
00:35:00,399 --> 00:35:04,400
They are using della Rovere against me.
268
00:35:05,399 --> 00:35:08,400
Uncle. I hate her.
269
00:35:09,399 --> 00:35:15,399
-Another quarrel with Giulia?
-She attacked me.
270
00:35:15,399 --> 00:35:20,399
- I think you will survive.
-I want to go back to my mother.
271
00:35:20,399 --> 00:35:24,399
-No.
- So I want to live in the monastery school.
272
00:35:24,399 --> 00:35:30,399
That doesn't happen either.
You must behave properly.
273
00:35:32,399 --> 00:35:36,399
And to do that...
274
00:35:36,399 --> 00:35:40,399
Promise to treat Giulia with respect.
275
00:35:54,399 --> 00:35:57,399
One more.
276
00:35:59,399 --> 00:36:05,399
Did you tell why you didn't
want to go to Pisa and become a priest?
277
00:36:05,399 --> 00:36:07,399
No.
278
00:36:10,399 --> 00:36:14,399
-Where is Uncle Rodrigo?
-He went to the Vatican.
279
00:36:16,399 --> 00:36:22,399
-What happened to you?
- Colonna. Uncle must avenge it.
280
00:36:22,399 --> 00:36:28,399
-Cut off the scorpion's tail.
-What does that mean?
281
00:36:28,399 --> 00:36:35,399
Not what, who.
Fabrizio's nephew, Marcantonio Colonna.
282
00:36:35,399 --> 00:36:40,399
-Vice Chancellor.
- I have a personal girlfriend.
283
00:36:40,399 --> 00:36:45,399
For 26 years I have been blessed
serving five popes.
284
00:36:45,399 --> 00:36:51,399
In that time I have had
many titles and fiefs.
285
00:36:51,399 --> 00:36:56,399
I am Bishop of Majorca,
Carthage, Valencia and Agria.
286
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:02,399
I am Abbot of Subiaco, Cardinal-
deacon of Santa Maria in Via Lata-
287
00:37:02,399 --> 00:37:07,399
-and papal messenger
in Perugia and Bologna.
288
00:37:11,399 --> 00:37:14,399
No one comes in,
when Marcantonio is here.
289
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:20,399
I see him. Do you know who I am?
290
00:37:20,399 --> 00:37:24,399
i know
who your uncle is, catalan.
291
00:37:25,399 --> 00:37:30,399
Today I ask for
to have to give up one of these.
292
00:37:30,399 --> 00:37:34,399
My first appointment:
Bishop of Valencia.
293
00:37:34,399 --> 00:37:40,399
I ask to be replaced
with my kind cousin Cesare.
294
00:37:44,399 --> 00:37:50,399
Take him to a doctor and make sure
that he listens next time.
295
00:37:50,399 --> 00:37:54,399
Cesare is too young and inexperienced-
296
00:37:54,399 --> 00:37:58,400
- to take care of
the heavy burden of a bishopric.
297
00:38:00,399 --> 00:38:04,399
-Vice Chancellor.
-A bishop is not a cardinal.
298
00:38:04,399 --> 00:38:10,399
But your cousin was 16,
when he received the red hat.
299
00:38:11,399 --> 00:38:17,399
The Pope hears Giovanni, Cardinal
de Medici, Archbishop of Florence.
300
00:38:17,399 --> 00:38:23,399
I'm also only 16
and has been Cesare's classmate.
301
00:38:23,399 --> 00:38:29,399
His soul is good. A man's age
should not determine his character.
302
00:38:34,399 --> 00:38:37,399
Then there are Cesares
questionable provenance.
303
00:38:37,399 --> 00:38:44,399
Canon law forbids,
that week children advance in the church.
304
00:38:44,399 --> 00:38:49,399
-Vice Chancellor.
-Cesare is not a week.
305
00:38:49,399 --> 00:38:54,399
This proves that
that Cesare is the son of Vanozza Cattanei-
306
00:38:54,399 --> 00:38:58,399
-and my late cousin,
Domenico d'Arignano.
307
00:38:58,399 --> 00:39:02,399
It is signed by your uncle,
Pope Sixtus.
308
00:39:13,399 --> 00:39:16,399
Valencia is located in Spain-
309
00:39:16,399 --> 00:39:21,399
- such a handover
must be approved by the king.
310
00:39:23,399 --> 00:39:28,399
-Vice Chancellor.
- The king probably gives his approval.
311
00:39:28,399 --> 00:39:34,399
I didn't ask until I knew
Your will, which is God's will.
312
00:39:43,399 --> 00:39:48,399
- No, no...
-What does the college say? Applause?
313
00:39:52,399 --> 00:39:54,399
12. Dissent?
314
00:39:57,399 --> 00:40:00,399
Eight.
315
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:05,399
Just 12 votes this time, Borgia.
316
00:40:08,399 --> 00:40:11,399
Yes?
317
00:40:21,399 --> 00:40:24,399
I have lived in Rome for 37 years.
318
00:40:24,399 --> 00:40:31,399
But for the old families,
Colonna and Orsini-
319
00:40:31,399 --> 00:40:38,399
- I am a foreigner. Then my uncle
was Pope, they treated us well.
320
00:40:38,399 --> 00:40:42,399
But after his death-
321
00:40:42,399 --> 00:40:45,399
- they drove the family from the city with swords.
322
00:40:45,399 --> 00:40:51,399
My brother died alone in exile
323
00:40:51,399 --> 00:40:54,399
-while I stayed in Rome.
324
00:40:54,399 --> 00:41:00,399
How did I become
and even became vice chancellor-
325
00:41:00,399 --> 00:41:05,399
-under four different popes
like the old days? How?
326
00:41:05,399 --> 00:41:07,400
By remaining a foreigner-
327
00:41:08,399 --> 00:41:13,400
-and not become one of them and condescend
me to their level and raw violence.
328
00:41:14,399 --> 00:41:18,399
-I...
-Not a word, Cesare.
329
00:41:19,399 --> 00:41:25,399
You have each separately and together,
when we lack friends-
330
00:41:25,399 --> 00:41:28,399
-created enemies.
331
00:41:28,399 --> 00:41:33,400
Sleeping with someone else's wife is based
on the man's lack of character-
332
00:41:34,399 --> 00:41:37,399
-not the woman's desire.
333
00:41:38,399 --> 00:41:43,399
Before you beat a man depraved,
then learn his family's history.
334
00:41:43,399 --> 00:41:47,399
The Colonna family invented blood revenge.
335
00:41:48,399 --> 00:41:53,399
Our actions
has far-reaching consequences.
336
00:41:53,400 --> 00:42:00,399
To reassure the Colonna family m�
I convince His Holiness that-
337
00:42:00,399 --> 00:42:06,399
- to appoint Fabrizio to Rome
prefect, even if he is inept.
338
00:42:06,399 --> 00:42:10,399
And he uses it against us.
339
00:42:12,399 --> 00:42:19,399
We are all a single misstep
from exile, from extinction.
340
00:42:25,399 --> 00:42:29,399
Get out of my sight.
341
00:42:43,399 --> 00:42:46,399
I'm sending you to Spain.
342
00:42:46,399 --> 00:42:51,399
You must convince King Ferdinand
to make Cesare a bishop.
343
00:42:51,399 --> 00:42:54,400
The certificate attests to Cesare's parentage.
344
00:42:55,399 --> 00:42:58,400
It looks cool.
Bobbo has done well.
345
00:42:59,399 --> 00:43:02,399
Queen Isabella will resist.
346
00:43:02,399 --> 00:43:07,399
Remind her I arranged
papal dispensation
347
00:43:07,399 --> 00:43:11,399
-so she could get married
with his cousin.
348
00:43:11,399 --> 00:43:18,399
Regardless of Isabella's objections
should Cesare be bishop of Valencia.
349
00:43:45,399 --> 00:43:48,399
Cesare Borgia.
350
00:43:48,399 --> 00:43:53,399
You are from now on the Bishop of Valencia.
351
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,399
Shepherd of souls.
352
00:43:58,399 --> 00:44:05,399
In nomine Patris
et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
353
00:44:11,399 --> 00:44:16,399
- Take it.
- I'll probably get you, Goffi.
354
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:24,399
Now be happy. You have an income
at 16,000 ducats per right.
355
00:44:24,399 --> 00:44:28,399
As duke, Juan gets 25,000.
356
00:44:28,399 --> 00:44:33,399
Surmulery does not decorate.
Despite your feelings, I am proud.
357
00:44:33,399 --> 00:44:39,399
- Only I should have come along.
-What are you proud of?
358
00:44:39,399 --> 00:44:45,399
I am a bishop without being a priest. I
got cleaned by Rodrigo-
359
00:44:45,399 --> 00:44:48,399
- who wants me back to Pisa.
360
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:54,399
I'm 18. Half my life is over, and
I have accomplished nothing.
361
00:44:54,399 --> 00:44:58,399
- Go out and play, boys.
-Yes, mother.
362
00:44:58,399 --> 00:45:02,399
- I don't want to play outside.
-Come on now.
363
00:45:02,399 --> 00:45:08,399
So take advantage of your new position.
You have been chosen to save Rome.
364
00:45:08,399 --> 00:45:11,399
During Innocence, the quality of life is...
365
00:45:11,399 --> 00:45:17,399
I am no reformer. I am
a deceiver like all the others.
366
00:45:17,399 --> 00:45:22,399
How can I bless,
when it means nothing to me?
367
00:45:22,399 --> 00:45:26,399
So change yourself.
368
00:45:26,399 --> 00:45:31,399
-Turns night into day.
- If only I could.
369
00:45:31,399 --> 00:45:36,399
Oh, mother. My dream is to lead Rome-
370
00:45:37,399 --> 00:45:41,399
-no, all of Italy,
into a golden age.
371
00:45:41,399 --> 00:45:44,399
I will restore its dominance.
372
00:45:44,399 --> 00:45:50,399
I want to improve people's lives like Julius
and Augustus C�sar did.
373
00:45:50,399 --> 00:45:54,399
And you will do that.
I know that in my heart.
374
00:45:54,399 --> 00:46:00,399
A Mother's Biased Heart…
But what about my father?
375
00:46:00,399 --> 00:46:05,399
- He's dead.
-No, he is Rodrigo Borgia.
376
00:46:05,399 --> 00:46:12,399
Don't lie. Juan, Lucrezia, Goffredo.
The four of us are Cardinal Borgia's litter.
377
00:46:12,399 --> 00:46:15,400
If that's true,
and I confirm nothing-
378
00:46:16,399 --> 00:46:20,399
-so you should know your father
and go to Pisa.
379
00:46:20,399 --> 00:46:27,399
Then I will be destroyed
of my passion.
380
00:46:28,399 --> 00:46:33,399
There is a girl. I'm in love.
381
00:46:34,399 --> 00:46:38,399
My passion for her
is too overwhelming.
382
00:46:39,399 --> 00:46:45,399
My dear boy.
in our lives we all have to learn-
383
00:46:45,399 --> 00:46:50,399
-to control our passion,
whether it is love or power.
384
00:46:50,399 --> 00:46:55,399
Ironically, it is there,
we get our strength from.
385
00:46:57,399 --> 00:47:01,399
When Rodrigo left my bed
after ten years of happiness
386
00:47:01,399 --> 00:47:07,399
-I felt a cancerous tumor
dig into me.
387
00:47:07,399 --> 00:47:12,399
But here I am ten years later
with a beautiful villa and a large plot.
388
00:47:12,399 --> 00:47:17,399
-And the vineyard is successful.
-Money is not happiness, mother.
389
00:47:17,399 --> 00:47:24,399
- That's a nice replacement, my child.
-And if I can't control it?
390
00:47:24,399 --> 00:47:27,399
You will rule the world.
391
00:47:27,399 --> 00:47:32,399
The question is,
if it makes you happier.
392
00:47:33,399 --> 00:47:39,399
-Did you bribe Lucrezia?
- That's a strong word, La Bella.
393
00:47:39,399 --> 00:47:44,399
If Lucrezia wants to stay
at his mother's, so let her do it.
394
00:47:44,399 --> 00:47:50,399
The girl must be cared for
like a peach before the fall.
395
00:47:50,399 --> 00:47:57,399
Send her away, for your peach
ripens and falls from the tree.
396
00:48:14,399 --> 00:48:21,399
Be a mother to the child.
Love her as you love me.
397
00:48:23,399 --> 00:48:27,399
I will, Eminence.
398
00:48:40,399 --> 00:48:43,399
This warm...
399
00:48:43,399 --> 00:48:48,399
Last summer scattered
the high temperature diseases.
400
00:48:48,399 --> 00:48:55,399
-God thins out among the weak.
-Lucrezia should come out into the country.
401
00:48:55,399 --> 00:48:59,399
A better climate
until the fever disappears.
402
00:48:59,399 --> 00:49:02,399
-No.
-When diseases spread...
403
00:49:02,399 --> 00:49:07,399
If the women travel,
must Giulia too.
404
00:49:07,399 --> 00:49:11,399
I can't live without La Bella.
405
00:49:13,399 --> 00:49:19,399
A man's last love is over
at the same time his bitterest and sweetest.
406
00:49:19,399 --> 00:49:25,399
- You wanted to see me, uncle.
- I must fulfill your greatest wish.
407
00:49:25,399 --> 00:49:28,399
-A groom.
-Who?
408
00:49:28,399 --> 00:49:34,399
Querubi de Centelles, lord of Val
d'Ayora and son of the Count of Oliva.
409
00:49:34,399 --> 00:49:39,399
-A great Spanish nobleman.
-Should I leave Rome?
410
00:49:39,399 --> 00:49:43,399
There is a long way
between betrothal and altar.
411
00:49:43,399 --> 00:49:48,399
-Do I have to tell mother?
- No, get ready for the party.
412
00:49:48,399 --> 00:49:53,400
You must be extra beautiful,
so I can show you off.
413
00:49:54,399 --> 00:50:00,399
Come, dear Lucrezia. I'll help you
with choosing a stunning dress.
414
00:50:17,399 --> 00:50:23,399
Wild. He attacked nuns and brought
violence within the sacred walls.
415
00:50:23,399 --> 00:50:28,399
He is not a would-be priest.
He is the son of Satan.
416
00:50:28,399 --> 00:50:32,399
I'll probably get revenge on you.
417
00:50:34,399 --> 00:50:38,399
Don't poke me, Colonna.
418
00:50:49,399 --> 00:50:51,399
Juan.
419
00:50:52,399 --> 00:50:58,399
If the Muslims take Rome,
Do they change the name of the city?
420
00:50:58,399 --> 00:51:01,399
Constantinople became Istanbul-
421
00:51:01,399 --> 00:51:05,399
-and the Hagia Sofia Basilica
is now a mosque.
422
00:51:07,399 --> 00:51:11,399
Marcantonio,
we should talk about this.
423
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,399
You don't have to
poke me in the chest again.
424
00:51:51,399 --> 00:51:55,399
-The sound of Marcantonio's cry...
- It sounded like a goose.
425
00:51:55,399 --> 00:52:01,399
- I never get the blood off my clothes.
- The problems are over.
426
00:52:01,399 --> 00:52:07,399
Are they? Or does chaos follow you?
At school I never thought…
427
00:52:07,399 --> 00:52:12,399
I didn't know
that you had a violent side.
428
00:52:18,399 --> 00:52:24,399
- Again you behave like an animal.
- Colonna attacked us.
429
00:52:24,399 --> 00:52:28,399
-Cesare saved my life.
-And mine.
430
00:52:34,399 --> 00:52:39,399
Soon we will see more than one
tavern brawl. The Pope is dead now.
431
00:52:39,399 --> 00:52:44,399
Keep your weapons ready,
also� during the fair.
432
00:53:08,399 --> 00:53:12,399
